This Agreement is entered into between CareView Communications, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“CareView”), and Rockwell Holdings I, LLC, a Wisconsin limited liability company (“Investor”), as of November 16, 2009.
WHEREAS, CareView’s wholly owned subsidiary, CareView Communications, Inc., a Texas corporation (“CareView-TX”) has developed a system of products and services that CareView markets and sells under the CareView System® trademark (the “System”); and
WHEREAS, CareView desires to implement the System in various hospitals with investment and financing from Investor and Investor desires to make such investments and provide such financing;
WHEREAS, CareView and Investor are entering into this Agreement to establish the terms and conditions under which Investor will make such investments and provide such financing; and
WHEREAS, CareView and Investor have already identified Hillcrest Medical Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma (“Hillcrest”) and Saline Memorial Hospital in Benton, Arkansas (“Saline”) as hospitals at which the System will be implemented using investment and financing from Investor;
NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Projects and Project Offers. CareView shall from time to time identify a hospital (a “Project Hospital”) at which CareView desires to install and operate the System using investment and financing from Investor (a “Project”). CareView shall notify Investor in writing of each Project that is desires to undertake (a “Project Offer”) and the estimated maximum number of rooms in the Project Hospital in which it intends to install the System (the “Project Room Estimate”). Investor shall notify CareView in writing whether it accepts or rejects a Project Offer. CareView may, by written notice to Investor, withdraw a Project Offer at any time prior to its acceptance by Investor, and if Investor fails to give CareView notice of its response to a Project Offer within 30 days of its notice of the Project Offer, the Project Offer will be deemed to have been rejected by Investor.
Investor may request additional information from CareView regarding a Project prior to accepting or rejecting a Project Offer. Investor and CareView may, by mutual written agreement, (1) extend the time period in which Investor may accept a Project Offer, (2) determine that a Project Offer has been accepted by Investor regardless of whether it was otherwise accepted timely, or (3) establish other terms and conditions regarding Investor’s acceptance of the Project Offer. Whenever this Agreement refers to the number of rooms in which the System is or will be installed, one nurses station shall be the equivalent of two rooms.

For purposes of this Agreement, Hillcrest and Saline shall be both deemed Project Hospitals for which Investor has accepted a Project Offer. The Project Room Estimate for Hillcrest is 739 rooms, and the Project Room Estimated for Saline is 175 rooms.
2. Hospital Contract. Before or within 60 days after Investor’s acceptance of a Project Offer, CareView shall cause CareView-TX to enter into a service agreement (the “Project Hospital Contract”) with the Project Hospital, or with its administrators, to implement and operate the System at the Project Hospital for a minimum term of three years. The Project Hospital Contract shall be in substantially the form of Exhibit A or such other form as mutually agreed between CareView and Investor.
CareView-TX has already entered into Project Hospital Contracts for Hillcrest and Saline, a copy of which Investor has already been provided and approved.
3. Establishing Project LLC. Unless Investor and CareView otherwise agree in writing, they shall, within 30 days after Investor’s acceptance of a Project Offer or, if later, 10 days after the execution of the Project Hospital Contract, do the following with respect to a Project:

(b) enter into an Operating Agreement for the Project LLC, dated as of the effective date of the Project LLC’s Articles of Organization, in substantially the form of Exhibit B attached hereto (the “Project LLC Operating Agreement”);
With respect to the respective Hillcrest and Saline Projects, Investor and CareView shall, simultaneously with the execution of this Agreement, enter into separate Project LLC Operating Agreements for each such Project.
4. Ownership of Project Property. On and after the effective date of the Project LLC Operating Agreement, all equipment, devices, hardware, cables and other personal property required to be provided for the Project by CareView (or its assigns) under the Project Hospital Contract shall be acquired by CareView on behalf of and in the name of the Project LLC.

5. CareView’s Obligations. Unless Investor and CareView otherwise agree in writing, CareView shall, within 30 days after the effective date of the Project LLC Operating Agreement, do the following:
(a) cause CareView-TX to execute and deliver to the Project LLC, an assignment (the “Project Hospital Contract Assignment”) in substantially the form attached hereby as Exhibit C, assigning to the Project LLC the Project Hospital Contract and all rights and duties thereunder; and obtain and deliver to the Investor and the Project LLC the execution by the Project Hospital of its consent to such assignment in substantially the form as set forth therein;

(c) acquire, on behalf of the Project LLC, all equipment and other personal property necessary for the operation of the System at that Project Hospital, and install and set-up the System for the Project and all equipment, computers, monitors, cables, connections, interfaces, hardware, software and other personal property necessary to implement and operate the System, at a reimbursement of cost paid by the Project LLC to CareView of $1,650 per installed Project Room (the “Per Room Reimbursement”) for the cost of all System equipment and other personal property required for each Project Room and for all the services involved in the installation and set-up of the System with respect to each Project Room.
(d) execute and deliver to the Project LLC a Project Services Subcontract Agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit E, by which the Project LLC subcontracts for CareView to perform the Project LLC’s duties (as assignee) under the Project Hospital Contract; and
(e) if and to the extent that CareView or CareView-TX has already installed equipment or personal property owned by it or was acquired in its name any of the equipment or personal property that will be installed at the Project Hospital for use in connection with the operation of the System at such Project Hospital, then CareView shall transfer to the Project LLC, or cause CareView TX to transfer to the Project LLC, the title or rights to such personal property in exchange for the Project LLC’s payment to CareView of $1,650 per installed Project Room, and CareView shall execute and deliver to the Project LLC, or, if the personal property is owned by CareView-TX, cause CareView-TX to execute and deliver to the Project LLC, a ▇▇▇▇ of sale, in such form as is acceptable to the Investor, assigning such personal property to the Project LLC, free and clear of any adverse liens or claims.
CareView’s delivery of the items set forth in clauses (a) and (b) above shall constitute CareView’s capital contribution to the Project LLC.
With respect to the respective Hillcrest and Saline Projects, CareView shall perform its obligations under clauses (a), (b), (d) and (e) prior to or simultaneously with the Investor’s performance of its obligations under Section 7; provided, however, that with respect to the obligation of CareView under clause (a), CareView shall cause
3
CareView-TX to immediately execute and deliver to the respective Project LLCs the Project Hospital Contract Assignments for the Hillcrest and Saline Projects, but CareView shall have up to 60 days following the date of the respective Project Hospital Contract Assignments in which to obtain the execution and delivery by the respective Project Hospitals of their consent such assignments. CareView shall use its best efforts to obtain the execution and delivery by the respective Project Hospitals of their consent to such assignments as soon as possible after the date of the respective Project Hospital Contract Assignments, and CareView shall notify Investor promptly of the execution and delivery by the respective Project Hospitals of such consents.
In the event that CareView fails to timely perform its obligations with respect to either the Hillcrest Project or the Saline Project as provided for in the foregoing paragraph, Investor shall have the right to rescind all of its agreements and obligations with respect to that Project entered into or undertaken pursuant to this Agreement by giving written notice of such rescission to CareView (a “Rescission Election”), in which event Investor shall immediately receive from that Project LLC a return of the entire amount of the Project Loan funded by Investor and the entire amount of the capital contribution made to that Project LLC (collectively, the “Rescission Refund”), and upon Investor’s receipt of the Rescission Refund, all of Investor’s rights and obligations with respect to the Project as provided for in this Agreement and the agreements with respect to that Project entered into pursuant to this Agreement shall be and are rescinded. In the event Investor makes a Rescission Election, Investor shall, immediately following the receipt by Investor of the Rescission Refund, return to the Project LLC the original Project Note or, if applicable, the original Restated Project Note, the original Project Security Agreement, the original Project Warrant, if applicable, and any original of the Project Operating Agreement, and Investor shall cause any filed UCC financing statement evidencing the Project Security Agreement to be terminated. Investor’s option to make a Rescission Election and rescind its transactions with respect to a Project, as provided for in this paragraph, shall be in addition to and not to the exclusion of any other remedies that Investor may have in the event of a default by CareView of its obligations with respect to a Project under either this Agreement or any agreement entered into with respect to that Project pursuant to this Agreement.
CareView hereby guarantees the prompt and immediate payment to Investor of the Rescission Refund in the event that Investor makes a Rescission Election, and CareView grants to Investor a security interest in all of its assets, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, including all of the proceeds of the foregoing, as security for the performance by CareView of its guaranty. CareView authorizes Investor to file one or more financing statements evidencing this security interest and/or Investor’s rights under this security interest, and CareView agrees to execute any documents that may be necessary to allow Investor to file evidence of such security interest with any governmental agency that records or files such interests or that may be necessary to enable Investor to have a possessory security interests in collateral in which a security interest may only be acquired by possession. In connection with the granting by CareView of this security interest to Investor, CareView warrants and represents to Investor that none of CareView’s assets have been pledged to secure any other obligation
4
of CareView. The security interest granted by CareView to Investor in this paragraph shall immediately terminate when both of the following have occurred: (i) with respect to the Hillcrest Project, either Investor has received notice that the Project Hospital Contract Assignment has been executed by the Project Hospital and delivered to the Project LLC or the Rescission Refund has been received by the Investor, and (ii) with respect to the Saline Project, either Investor has received notice that the Project Hospital Contract Assignment has been executed by the Project Hospital and delivered to the Project LLC or the Rescission Refund has been received by the Investor. Upon the termination of the security interest granted to Investor by CareView in this paragraph, Investor shall terminate any financing statements or other evidence of the security interest filed in any office of a governmental agency and return to CareView any collateral granted by the security interest that is in Investor’s possession (if any).
6. Project LLC’s Obligations. Unless Investor and CareView otherwise agree in writing, CareView and Investor shall cause the Project LLC, within 30 days after the effective date of the Project LLC Operating Agreement, to do the following:
(a) execute and deliver to the Investor a Promissory Note (the “Project Note”) in the principal amount of one-half of the product of the number of rooms set forth in Project Room Estimate times $1,650, which Project Note shall be dated when executed, shall be in substantially the form of Exhibit F-1, and shall provide for (i) interest accruing on its outstanding balance at 10% per annum, (ii) payments commencing on the earlier to occur of the date that the monthly Primary Package payments fees first become payable under the Project Hospital Contract or six months from the date of the Project Note, and (iii) for payment in monthly installments of one-half of the aggregate monthly fees for the Primary Package payable under the Project Hospital Contract (i.e. one-half the per camera fee times the number of cameras covered by the Project), provided the entire outstanding balance of principal and all accrued interest is payable on or before the third anniversary of the date payments commence.
(b) execute and deliver to the Investor a General Business Security Agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit G (the “Project Security Agreement”) securing payment of the Project Note;
(c) execute and deliver to CareView and the Project Hospital the Project Hospital Contract Assignment, accepting the assignment of the Project Hospital Contract to it and its assumption of the duties of CareView thereunder;

The Annualized Net Cash Flow shall not take into account any distributions to CareView or Investor under the Project LLC’s Operating Agreement or any payments of principal or interest to Investor under the Project Note.
“Preferential Return” shall mean the amount of Investor’s aggregate capital contribution to a Project LLC plus 10% per annum, compounded monthly, accruing on the combined amount of such contributions and compound interest that has not been returned to Investor through distributions from the Project LLC.
12. Investor’s Put Option. If the conditions set forth in Sections 11(b)(i) and (ii) have been satisfied, then Investor may at any time elect to require CareView to purchase Investor’s entire interest in the Project LLC, by giving written notice to CareView of its election, in which event Investor shall sell its interest in the Project LLC to CareView, free and clear of any and all liens, claims and encumbrances, and CareView shall purchase such interest, in consideration for the payment by CareView to Investor of a purchase price in an amount equal to 50% of four times the Annualized Net Cash Flow from the Project. Closing of such purchase and sale shall occur within 30 days of Investor’s election to sell its interest in the Project LLC. At closing, CareView may pay the purchase price in cash and/or by delivery of its promissory note in the principal amount of the purchase price less any cash delivered. Any such promissory note shall bear interest at the rate of 10% per annum, shall be amortized for payment in full in equal monthly installments over a 5-year term, and shall otherwise contain terms and provisions substantially similar to the Project Note. Any such promissory note shall be guaranteed by the Project LLC and secured by all of the assets of the Project LLC, including without limitation the Project Hospital Contract, the license set forth in Section 5(b), and the equipment and other personal property installed at the Project Hospital.
13. Preferred Status of Investor. In the event that CareView funds, through another non-institutional investor or investors, a System installation and operation project similar to the Projects contemplated in this Agreement (a “Non-Investor Project”), and the terms and conditions of the investment/financing for a Non-Investor Project are more favorable overall from an economic or security perspective than the terms and conditions
9
of Investor’s investment/financing for a Project, then the terms and conditions of any investment/financing for any future Project shall, at Investor’s option, be on the same terms and conditions of the more favorable Non-Investor Project, and the terms and conditions of any investment/financing for any existing Project shall, at Investor’s option, be amended to be consistent with the terms and conditions of the more favorable Non-Investor Project. CareView shall notify Investor of the general terms and conditions of the investment/financing for each Non-Investor Project that it undertakes.
14. Investor Consent to Payment Directions by CareView. CareView shall not, without the written consent of Investor, either (a) direct a Project Hospital to pay any amounts payable by it under its Project Hospital Contract other than as provided for in the Project Hospital Contract Assignment of that Project Hospital Contract, or (b) direct the disposition of funds paid into a Project Escrow Deposit Account other than as provided for in that agreement.
15. General Provisions.
