Pursuant to the LLC Operating Agreements for the Project Hospitals, revenues generated from the sale of the Primary Package (“Primary Package Revenues”) are distributed as follows: (i) one-half toward payment of the Rockwell Note until paid in full, and (ii) one-half toward payment of Rockwell’s Preferential Return until paid in full. Rockwell’s Preferential Return means the amount of Rockwell's aggregate capital contribution to the Project LLCs (to date being $109,230 to CareView-Saline and $466,373 to CareView-Hillcrest) plus 10% per annum, compounded monthly. Once the Rockwell Note and Preferential Return have been paid in full, Primary Package Revenues are distributed as follows: (i) first, to the payment and/or reimbursement to the Hospital of the amounts the Hospital is entitled to receive pursuant to the Contract; (ii) second, to the payment to Rockwell of the Legal Fee Reimbursement (as provided for and defined in the Master Investment Agreement), (iii) third, to the payment of expenses of the Company and debt service on loans; and (iv)fourth, to the maintenance of reserves that are adequate (as determined by the Members) for working capital, property replacement reserves and current or budgeted capital expenditures; and (v) then, to the making of guaranteed payments to Members, including but not limited to the payment of any current or accrued obligations to CareView for its services as provided for in the Project Services Subcontract Agreement (as referred to in the Master Investment Agreement). Any cash remaining from the Primary Package Revenues after the satisfaction of all of the above provisions shall be distributed to CareView and Rockwell in proportion to the ownership of each.

The Project LLCs have an obligation to pay Rockwell’s Preferential Return. Pursuant to FASB ASC 480-10-65 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity,” the Company classified this obligation as a mandatory redemption since it represents an unconditional obligation by the Company to pay Rockwell’s Preferential Return on each Project LLC.

Each Project LLC is governed by an Operating Agreement under which the Company and Rockwell are its initial members, each owning 50% of the outstanding ownership units. Pursuant to Section 301 – Management of the Operating Agreement for each of CareView-Hillcrest and CareView-Saline, the Company is the Manager for each. As Manager, the Company uses consolidation rules to record 100% of the revenue generated from each joint venture, thereafter distributing the revenues on the agreed upon basis to the LLC members. Revenues earned through the Project Hospitals are generated from monthly charges paid by each hospital for the Primary Package on installed CareView Systems™ and from purchase of entertainment products by patients. Payments of revenues from each Project Hospital are deposited into an escrow account jointly controlled by the Company and the Project LLC pursuant to the Project Escrow Agreement. Once deposits into the escrow account are collected by the escrow agent, they are immediately transferred into a separate account in the name of the Project LLC.

There is no separate management agreement for the Project LLCs. The Manager and the duties of the Manager are set forth in Article II of the Operating Agreement for each Project LLC. The Project LLCs each have two members, CareView and Rockwell. Each of CareView and Rockwell has one vote for all matters requiring a vote. The Operating Agreement for each Project LLC names CareView as the Manager and lists its duties. The Manager, on behalf of the Project LLCs, shall sign all agreements, contracts, and other instruments or documents that are necessary or appropriate in the course of the Project LLC’s regular business or that are authorized by general or specific action of the Members. Notwithstanding the authority granted to the Manager, the following actions may only be taken if approved by the Members: (i) amendment to the agreement or articles, (ii) issuance of more than the number of authorized units, (iii) discontinuation of the project or dissolution of the LLC, (iv) sale or disposition of substantially all of the Project LLC’s assets, (v) a merger, consolidation or reorganization, (vi) conversion of the LLC to a corporation, (vii) admission of new members, (viii) borrowing of funds other than the Project Loan, (ix) expenditures of more than $20,000, (x) amendment of contract with project hospitals, (xi) establishing amount of cash flow to be maintained, (xii) amending any agreement between the LLC and CareView, or (xiii) changing disposition of funds pursuant to the escrow agreement. The Operating Agreement provides that CareView shall serve as Manager until removed or replaced by a vote of the members. As Rockwell and CareView are the only members of the LLCs, CareView cannot be removed as Manager through a unilateral decision of Rockwell.

As additional consideration to Rockwell for providing the funding, the Company has agreed that upon completion of the Project Hospitals it will issue Rockwell a common stock purchase warrant (“Project Warrant”) granting Rockwell the right to purchase such number of shares of Common Stock of the Company equal to the total amount of funding for the Project Hospitals. The five-year Project Warrant will have an exercise price of $0.52 per share. As of November 16, 2009, the Company accrued for the issuance of 1,151,206 Warrants valued at $1,151,206 and recorded a debt discount. The aggregate discount to the debt will be amortized over the life of the debt.

The Master Investment Agreement includes provisions under which the Company may elect to purchase, for cash, Rockwell’s entire interest in each Project LLC at a pre-determined price based on annualized net cash flow from the Project Hospital plus the payment of any unpaid Preferential Return (if any) and the estimated amount of any additional distributions that would be payable from the Project LLC to Rockwell during the remaining balance (if any) of the initial term of the contract with the Project Hospital. In addition, upon the Company’s purchase of Rockwell’s interest in a Project LLC, the Company would have to pay the remaining balance due (if any) under the Project Note and any forgone interest under the Project Note that would have accrued during the remaining balance (if any) of the initial term of the contract with the Project Hospital. Additionally, there are provisions under which Rockwell may elect, if the Project Note has been paid and Rockwell has received its Preferential Return, to require the Company to purchase its entire interest in each

As the Company inadvertently failed to timely file a Form D notification with the South Dakota Division of Securities in connection with the Regulation D sales of an aggregate of 960,000 shares of its Common Stock in South Dakota occurring on April 9, 2010, July 7, 2010 and August 17, 2010, the Company offered to rescind the sale of those shares by returning the full purchase price plus interest at the rate of twelve percent (12%) from the date of purchase. Prior to the rescission offer termination date of November 12, 2010, all shareholders responded in writing that they did not wish to accept the offer.

 

Item 11. Description of Registrant’s Securities to be Registered.

We are registering our common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”) under this Registration Statement. A description of our Common Stock follows. We have also included a description of our preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Preferred Stock”) as we believe that if designated, issuances of our Preferred Stock may likely be convertible into shares of our Common Stock.

Description of Securities

We are authorized to issue an aggregate of 320,000,000 shares of capital stock, 300,000,000 shares of Common Stock and 20,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock. As of this filing, the Company had 126,745,215 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding and zero shares of Preferred Stock issued and outstanding.

Common Stock

All outstanding shares of our Common Stock are of the same class and have equal rights and attributes. We are authorized to issue up to 300,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share, which shares, upon issuance, are fully paid and non-assessable.

Voting. The holders of our Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders of the Company. Our Common Stock does not have cumulative voting rights. Persons who hold a majority of the outstanding shares of our Common Stock entitled to vote on the election of directors can elect all of the directors who are eligible for election. This means that the holders of more than 50% of the shares voting for the election of directors can elect all of the directors if they choose to do so; and in such event, the holders of the remaining shares will not be able to elect any person to the Board of Directors.

Dividends. Subject to the preferential dividend rights and consent rights of any series of Preferred Stock that we may from time to time designate, holders of our Common Stock are entitled to share equally in dividends, if any, as may be declared from time to time by our Board of Directors out of funds legally available.

Liquidation and Dissolution. In the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, subject to the preferential liquidation rights of any series of Preferred Stock that we may from time to time designate, the holders of our Common Stock are entitled to share ratably in all of our assets remaining after payment of all liabilities and preferential liquidation rights.

Authority to Issue Stock. The Company’s Board of Directors has the authority to issue the authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock without action by the shareholders. The issuance of such shares would reduce the percentage ownership held by current shareholders.

Preferred Stock

Our Articles of Incorporation authorizes the issuance of shares of Preferred Stock with designations, rights and preferences determined from time to time by our Board of Directors. Accordingly, our Board of Directors is empowered, without stockholder approval, to issue Preferred Stock with dividend, liquidation, conversion, voting, or other rights which could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of our Common Stock. In the event of issuance, the Preferred Stock could be utilized, under certain circumstances, as a method of discouraging, delaying or preventing a change in control of the Company.

NOTE L — SETTLEMENT OF LAWSUIT

Silicon subsequently filed a counterclaim against the Company and also brought suit against Steven G. Johnson (“Johnson”), the Company’s President. Silicon’s suit against the Company and Johnson included among other allegations a demand for alleged damages consisting of lost profits, excess inventory, additional labor, and added engineering. All parties settled the litigation on May 20, 2010 and the Court dismissed the actions on June 30, 2010. Terms of the confidential settlement included, among other things, the issuance to Silicon of twenty-five thousand (25,000) shares of the Company’s Common Stock, and mutual releases between the parties.

NOTE M — SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

July 2010 Offering

In July 2010, the Company offered 8,000,000 shares of its Common Stock for sale at $1.25 per share for an aggregated offering of $10,000,000 (the “July 2010 Offering”). To date, the Company has sold an aggregate of 74,000 shares for an aggregated purchase price of $92,500. The July 2010 Offering was made in reliance on exemptions from registration under Regulation D, Rule 506 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and applicable state securities laws.

Litigation

On July 14, 2010, The EMG Irrevocable Trust dated February 19, 2009, and Shelly Lynn Sands, Trustee of the EMG Irrevocable Trust (“Plaintiffs”) filed a complaint in the Superior Court of the State of Arizona in and for the County of Maricopa against the Company and its subsidiary, its transfer agent, its Chief Financial Officer, consultants and agents of the Company, and shareholders of the Company (“Defendants”), claiming among other things, negligence, securities fraud, fraud in investment advisory services, and breach of fiduciary duty. The complaint involves a dispute relative to a private stock transaction between the beneficiary of the Trust and a shareholder of the Company. The Company has engaged legal counsel on its behalf and on behalf of the other Defendants to defend the lawsuit and to file a third party claim against the beneficiary. Counsel and Company’s management do not believe that there are any meritorious claims against the Company or that this case will have any negative or material impact on the Company. While the Company believes that any finding in favor of the Plaintiffs, if any, will be immaterial, an estimate cannot be made as to a possible range of loss.

Issuance of Warrant

On July 8, 2010, the Company issued an individual a two-year Common Stock Purchase Warrant (the “Warrant”) to purchase 39,683 underlying shares of the Company’s Common Stock at $0.52 per share.

percent (10%). Principal payments commence on the earlier to occur of the date that monthly Primary Package fees first become payable by each Project Hospital or six months from the date of the original Project Note; provided, however, that the entire outstanding principal balance and all accrued interest of a Project Note shall be paid in full on or before the third anniversary of the date that payments commenced thereunder. Accordingly, the Company has classified one-third of the balance as current.

Pursuant to the LLC Operating Agreements for the Project Hospitals, revenues generated from the sale of the Primary Package (“Primary Package Revenues”) are distributed as follows: (i) one-half toward payment of the Rockwell Note until paid in full, and (ii) one-half toward payment of Rockwell's Preferential Return until paid in full. Rockwell's Preferential Return means the amount of Rockwell's aggregate capital contribution to the Project LLCs (to date being $109,230 to CareView-Saline and $466,373 to CareView-Hillcrest) plus 10% per annum, compounded monthly. Once the Rockwell Note and Preferential Return have been paid in full, Primary Package Revenues are distributed as follows: (i) first, to the payment and/or reimbursement to the Hospital of the amounts the Hospital is entitled to receive pursuant to the Contract; (ii) second, to the payment to Rockwell of the Legal Fee Reimbursement (as provided for and defined in the Master Investment Agreement), (iii) third, to the payment of expenses of the Company and debt service on loans; and (iv) fourth, to the maintenance of reserves that are adequate (as determined by the Members) for working capital, property replacement reserves and current or budgeted capital expenditures; and (v) then, to the making of guaranteed payments to Members, including but not limited to the payment of any current or accrued obligations to CareView for its services as provided for in the Project Services Subcontract Agreement (as referred to in the Master Investment Agreement). Any cash remaining from the Primary Package Revenues after the satisfaction of all of the above provisions shall be distributed to CareView and Rockwell in proportion to the ownership of each.

The Project LLCs have an obligation to pay Rockwell's Preferential Return. Pursuant to FASB ASC 480-10-65 "Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity," the Company classified this obligation as a mandatory redemption since it represents an unconditional obligation by the Company to pay Rockwell's Preferential Return on each Project LLC.

Each Project LLC is governed by an Operating Agreement under which the Company and Rockwell are its initial members, each owning 50% of the outstanding ownership units. Pursuant to Section 301 – Management of the Operating Agreement for each of CareView-Hillcrest and CareView-Saline, the Company is the Manager for each.

Revenues earned through the Project Hospitals are generated from monthly charges paid by each hospital for the Primary Package on installed CareView Systems™ and from purchase of entertainment products by patients. Payments of revenues from each Project Hospital are deposited into an escrow account jointly controlled by the Company and the Project LLC pursuant to the Project Escrow Agreement. Once deposits into the escrow account are collected by the escrow agent, they are immediately transferred into a separate account in the name of the Project LLC.

There is no separate management agreement for the Project LLCs. The Manager and the duties of the Manager are set forth in Article II of the Operating Agreement for each Project LLC. The Project LLCs each have two members, CareView and Rockwell. Each of CareView and Rockwell has one vote for all matters requiring a vote. The Operating Agreement for each Project LLC names CareView as the Manager and lists its duties. The Manager, on behalf of the Project LLC, shall sign all agreements, contracts, and other instruments or documents that are necessary or appropriate in the course of the Project LLC’s regular business or that are authorized by general or specific action of the Members. Notwithstanding the authority granted to the Manager, the following actions may only be taken if approved by the Members: (i) amendment to the agreement or articles, (ii) issuance of more than the number of authorized units, (iii) discontinuation of the project or dissolution of the LLC, (iv) sale or disposition of substantially all of the Project LLC’s assets, (v) a merger, consolidation or reorganization, (vi) conversion of the LLC to a corporation, (vii) admission of new members, (viii) borrowing of funds other than the Project Loan, (ix) expenditures of more than $20,000, (x) amendment of contract with project hospitals, (xi) establishing amount of cash flow to be maintained, (xii) amending any agreement between the LLC and CareView, or (xiii) changing disposition of funds pursuant to the escrow agreement. The Operating Agreement provides that CareView shall serve as Manager until removed or replaced by a vote of the members. As Rockwell and CareView are the only members of the LLCs, CareView cannot be removed as Manager through a unilateral decision of Rockwell.

As additional consideration to Rockwell for providing the funding, the Company has agreed that upon completion of the Project Hospitals it will issue Rockwell a common stock purchase warrant (“Project Warrant”) granting Rockwell the right to purchase such number of shares of Common Stock of the Company equal to the total amount of funding for the Project Hospitals.

  Re: Registration Statement on Form 10 filed August 23, 2010, as amended on October 27, 2010
    File No. 000-54090
    Your comment letter dated November 5, 2010

Dear Mr. Kempf:

CareView Communications, Inc. (“CareView” or the “Company”) is providing this letter to you in response to your comment letter dated November 5, 2010 related to our Registration Statement on Form 10/A, Amendment No. 1 filed with the Commission on October 27, 2010 (the “Form 10/A”). Your comments are listed herein with our responses immediately following.

Per your instructions, concurrently with the filing of this correspondence, the Company will file a Form 10/A, Amendment No. 2 (“Form 10/A/2”), to include only the revised pages marked in accordance with our responses herein.

Form 10, Amendment No. 1

Financial Statements

Note M – Subsequent Events

July 2010 Offering, Page F-19

 

1. We note from the first paragraph of page 68 that you offered to rescind the sale of 960,000 of your shares that had been sold in an exempt Regulation D private placement. Tell us and expand your financial statements disclosures to address this offer to rescind. Tell us the terms of your rescission offer. Clarify when the shares subject to rescission were originally sold and how you accounted for shares subject to rescission in your financial statements.

Since the filing of our Form 10/A, Amendment No. 1, all shareholders offered rescission have indicated in writing that they do not plan to exercise their rights under the rescission offer. As all shareholders have elected not to rescind their purchase of shares, there is no need to provide for rescission in the financial statements. Accordingly, we have revised the subject paragraph in our Form 10/A/2 and in Footnote M – Subsequent Events for the Financial Statements for period ended June 30, 2010 to read as follows:

As the Company inadvertently failed to timely file a Form D notification with the South Dakota Division of Securities in connection with the Regulation D sales of an aggregate of 960,000 shares of its Common Stock in South Dakota occurring on April 9, 2010, July 7, 2010 and August 17, 2010, the Company offered to rescind the sale of those shares by returning the full purchase price plus interest at the rate of twelve percent (12%) from the date of purchase. Prior to the rescission offer termination date of November 12, 2010, all shareholders responded in writing that they did not wish to accept the offer.

2. In regard to the above comment, you should expand Management’s Discussion and Analysis to address the effect of such a rescission on your capital resources and liquidity in accordance with Items 303(a)(l) and (303(a)(2)(ii) of Regulation S-K.

Per our answer to comment number 1 above, as all shareholders declined the rescission offer, no expansion of the subject paragraph is required as there was and will be no effect on capital resources and liquidity.

Litigation, page F-19

 

3. Disclose management’s opinions regarding the merits of the litigation and the impact of its outcome. Also, quantify the amount the plaintiffs seek to recover and your estimate of the possible loss or range of loss or state that such an estimate cannot be made.

The subject disclosure has been revised as shown below (revisions in italics) in Footnote M, Subsequent Events, Litigation in the Company’s Financial Statements for the period ended June 30, 2010:

Note M – Subsequent Events

Litigation

On July 14, 2010, The EMG Irrevocable Trust dated February 19, 2009, and Shelly Lynn Sands, Trustee of the EMG Irrevocable Trust (“Plaintiffs”) filed a complaint in the Superior Court of the State of Arizona in and for the County of Maricopa against the Company and its subsidiary, its transfer agent, its Chief Financial Officer, consultants and agents of the Company, and shareholders of the Company (“Defendants”), claiming among other things, negligence, securities fraud, fraud in investment advisory services, and breach of fiduciary duty. The complaint involves a dispute relative to a private stock transaction between the beneficiary of the Trust and a shareholder of the Company. The Company has engaged legal counsel on its behalf and on behalf of the other Defendants to defend the lawsuit and to file a third party claim against the beneficiary. Counsel and Company’s management do not believe that there are any meritorious claims against the Company or that this case will have any negative or material impact on the Company. While the Company believes that any finding in favor of the Plaintiffs, if any, will be immaterial, an estimate cannot be made as to a possible range of loss.

Subscription and Investor Rights Agreement with T2 Consulting, LLC and Tommy G. Thompson

 

4. We have considered your response to comment 29 and it is unclear to us why you assume that none of the parties to the GII puts will exercise those puts. Moreover, we don’t understand why it would be financially disadvantageous for them to forego exercising their put-rights, particularly in a situation where the put-holders were to come to believe that Gross Income Interest cash flows were to have peaked and thereafter decline precipitously. Further, the exercise of these GII puts appears to be outside of your control. Give us a more detailed understanding of the terms of these GII put-rights and clarify for us why you did not record these financial instruments. Please refer to all pertinent accounting literature in your response.

Under the terms of the Agreements Regarding Gross Income Interests (the “Agreement(s)”) with each of Thompson, Murphy and Langley (“GII Owners”), the GII Owners have the right to require the Company to purchase their GII


 

Mr. Joseph M. Kempf, Senior Staff Accountant

Page Three

(the “GII Owner’s Put”) from September 1, 2011 to December 31, 2015. In addition, the Company has the right to acquire the GII from each party (the “CareView Call”) from September 1, 2013 to December 31, 2015. The purchase price of the GII Owner’s Put and the CareView Call are both equal to the aggregated GII received in the twelve (12) month period immediately prior to the purchase (the “GII Calculation Period”), paid in cash or shares at the Company’s election. The fair market value of the GII Owner’s Put and the CareView Call are determined by multiplying revenues during any particular GII Calculation Period by 1.5% (the “Fair Market Value”).

After further consideration, the Company has made a determination that the GII Owner’s Put should be recorded as a financial instrument at the beginning of the GII Owner’s Put period which is the first date at which the Fair Market Value of the GII Owner’s Put can be determined (based on the fact that revenues for a 12-month prior period must be used for the calculation). Therefore, at September 1, 2011, pursuant to ASC 815-40 “Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity”, the Company will record a liability for the Fair Market Value of the financial instrument of the GII Owner’s Put using the GII Calculation Period. Thereafter, the Company will revalue the financial instrument each quarter based on the GII Calculation Period. The Company’s recording of the GII Owner’s Put as a financial instrument negates the need to record a contingent liability. Accordingly, the Company will not record a contingent liability on its third quarter financial statements and will not value the financial instrument until the financial statements covering the period of time beginning with September 1, 2011.

Based on revenues through September 30, 2010, we have accrued approximately $6,500 which will be reflected on the financial statements of the Company for the quarter ended September 30, 2010. Regarding the accounting for the GII, the Company accrues the 1 1/2% earned each month and then pays the accrued amount to the GII Owners in the subsequent month.

 

5. Moreover, we note that your response to comment 29 indicates that you have recorded a $416,000 contingent liability for your right to call the Gross Income Interests pursuant to the Agreements Regarding Gross Income Interests. It is unclear to us why it is appropriate to account for your right to call the Gross Income Interests as a contingency under ASC 450-10 as you appear to have unilateral control over the exercise of this call right. Please advise and refer to all pertinent accounting literature in your response.

Pursuant to our answer to item 4 above, we have determined not to record a contingent liability but will value the GII Owner’s Put as a financial instrument. As such, no further explanation is necessary as the remainder of your comments in this item 5 refer to the treatment of the contingent liability.

Note M – Joint Venture Agreement, page F-4 [sic]

 

6. We note your response to comment 31 and the revised disclosure provided in Note M. However, we remain unclear of your basis for consolidating the joint ventures under generally accepted accounting principles. Please advise us in detail, including referencing in your response the specific accounting literature that supports your policy. In addition, please explain to us the consideration you gave to treating the joint ventures as variable interest entities.

The structure of the joint venture between Rockwell and the Company is in the form of a Project LLC for each of the Project Hospitals. Both Rockwell and the Company own 50% of each Project LLC. CareView contributed its intellectual property rights and its hospital contract with each Project Hospital. Rockwell contributed cash to be used for the purchase of equipment for the Project LLCs with 50% attributed to a Note and 50% attributed to a Preferential Return, both earning interest at ten percent (10%). The Project LLCs have an obligation to pay

Rockwell’s Preferential Return due to a mandatory redemption feature. Pursuant to FASB ASC 480-10, the Company classified this mandatory redemption as a liability since it represents an unconditional obligation by the Company to pay Rockwell’s Preferential Return on each Project LLC.

Pursuant to ASC 810-10-15, the Company determined that the Project LLCs were within the scope of the variable interest entities (VIE) subsection of the codification. We determined the LLC to be a VIE based on the fact that the total equity investment at risk was not sufficient to finance the entities activities without additional financial support. Based on the guidance under ASC 810-10-15-14, the contribution by Rockwell was determined not to be an equity investment because equity investments are interests that are required to be recorded as equity in the entities financial statements. The loans are secured by a security interest in all of the equipment in the Project Hospitals, intellectual property rights, and the Project Hospital Contract. Pursuant to ACS 810-10, CareView has a controlling financial interest in the LLC based on the fact that as Manager, CareView has the ability to make decisions about the entity’s activities, has exposure to the expected losses if they occur, and has the right to receive the expected residual returns if they occur. Accordingly, we determined that CareView is the Primary Beneficiary in that we will absorb a majority of the VIE’s expected losses. Pursuant to the Operating Agreement for each Project LLC, CareView, as Manager, has the authority to supervise, manage and control the business affairs and property of the Project LLCs, to make day-to-day operating decisions regarding administrative and ministerial matters, and to perform any and all acts or activities reasonably customary or incidental to the management of the Project LLCs. The manager has the authority to sign all agreements, contracts and other instruments and documents that are necessary or appropriate in the ordinary course of the company’s regular business. In addition, CareView has established power over key activities as it has been named Manager of the Project LLCs, is responsible for the procurement, installation, set-up and maintenance of the CareView Systems™ installed in the Project LLCs, and is responsible for receiving and distributing revenues from each Project LLC.

Further we evaluated Rockwell’s rights under the agreements, as further outlined in the answer to item 7 below, to determine if they had any participating rights that would overcome our requirement of consolidation. We deemed the rights held by Rockwell to be protective rights which did not override the consolidation presumption.

 

7. Expand your disclosure on page F-50, and elsewhere as applicable, to fully disclose all of the terms of your management agreement. Specifically address the rights of Rockwell to terminate you as manager, and advise us.

There is no separate management agreement for the Project LLCs. The Manager and the duties of the Manager are set forth in Article II of the Operating Agreement for each Project LLC. The Project LLCs each have two members, CareView and Rockwell. Each of CareView and Rockwell has one vote for all matters requiring a vote. The Operating Agreement for each Project LLC names CareView as the Manager and lists its duties. The Manager, on behalf of the Project LLCs, shall sign all agreements, contracts, and other instruments or documents that are necessary or appropriate in the course of the Project LLC’s regular business or that are authorized by general or specific action of the Members. Notwithstanding the authority granted to the Manager, the following actions may only be taken if approved by the Members: (i) amendment to the agreement or articles, (ii) issuance of more than the number of authorized units, (iii) discontinuation of the project or dissolution of the LLC, (iv) sale or disposition of substantially all of the Project LLC’s assets, (v) a merger, consolidation or reorganization, (vi) conversion of the LLC to a corporation, (vii) admission of new members, (viii) borrowing of funds other than the Project Loan, (ix) expenditures of more than $20,000, (x) amendment of contract with project hospitals, (xi) establishing amount of cash flow to be maintained, (xii) amending any agreement between the LLC and CareView, or (xiii) changing disposition of funds pursuant to the escrow agreement. The Operating Agreement provides that CareView shall serve as Manager until removed or replaced by a vote of the members. As Rockwell and CareView are the only members of the LLCs, CareView cannot be removed as Manager through a unilateral decision of Rockwell.
