SENIOR SECURED CONVERTIBLE NOTE
Issuance Date: December 30, 2022 Principal Amount: U.S. $[_______]
(subject to Section 3(c)(iii) hereof)
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, CareView Communications, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), hereby promises to pay to [______] or the registered assign(s) thereof (“Holder”) the principal amount set forth above (as adjusted pursuant to the terms hereof by reason of partial conversion or otherwise, the “Principal”) when due, whether upon the Maturity Date, acceleration or otherwise (in each case in accordance with the terms hereof). This Senior Secured Convertible Note (this “Note”) is being issued pursuant to that certain Consent and Agreement to Cancel and Exchange Existing Notes and Issue Replacement Notes and Cancel Warrants (the “Agreement”), and is entitled to the benefits of, and evidences obligations incurred under, the Agreement and the Purchase Agreement, to which reference is made for a description of the security for this Note and for a statement of the terms and conditions on which the Company is permitted and required to make prepayments and repayments of principal of the obligations evidenced hereby and on which such obligations may be declared to be immediately due and payable. This Note represents a full recourse obligation of the Company, and replaces in their entirety the debt instruments listed on Exhibit II attached hereto.
Certain capitalized terms used herein are defined in Section 22.
(1) MATURITY. On the Maturity Date, the Holder shall surrender this Note to the Company and the Company shall pay to the Holder an amount in cash representing all outstanding Principal and accrued and unpaid Late Charges (as defined in Section 18(b)), if any. The “Maturity Date” shall be December 31, 2023.
| (2) | NO INTEREST. |
(a) No interest shall accrue on this Note.
(b) This Note is one of a series of notes issued by the Company pursuant to the Agreement. Such Notes are referred to herein as the “Notes,” and the holders thereof (including the Holder) are referred to herein as the “Investors.” The right of an Investor to receive payments of Principal under this Note shall be pari passu with the rights of the other Investors to receive payments of Principal under their respective Notes, and the Company covenants that any payments made by it with respect to the Notes shall be made pro rata among the Investors determined based on the ratio of the outstanding balance of Principal under each Note divided by the aggregate outstanding balance of Principal under all Notes. By the Holder’s acceptance of this Note, the Holder agrees to the foregoing sentence.
(3) CONVERSION OF NOTE. This Note shall be convertible into shares of Common Stock, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 3.
| 2 |
(a) Conversion Right. At any time or times on or after the Issuance Date, the Holder shall be entitled to convert any portion of the outstanding and unpaid Conversion Amount (as defined below) into fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock in accordance with Section 3(c), at the Conversion Rate (as defined below). The Company shall not issue any fraction of a share of Common Stock upon any conversion. If any conversion would result in the issuance of a fraction of a share of Common Stock, the Company shall round such fraction of a share of Common Stock to the nearest whole share but shall have no obligation to pay the Holder for any fraction of a share of Common Stock forfeited as a result of such rounding. The Company shall pay any and all stock transfer, stamp, documentary and similar taxes (excluding any taxes on the income or gain of the Holder) that may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of shares of Common Stock to the Holder upon conversion of any Conversion Amount. To the extent permitted by law, the Company and the Holder acknowledge and agree that any conversion of all or any portion of the Conversion Amount into shares of Common Stock pursuant to the terms of this Section 3(a) will not be treated as a taxable transaction and the Company and the Holder agree to report any such conversion in a manner consistent with the foregoing treatment.
(b) Conversion Rate. The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of any Conversion Amount pursuant to Section 3(a) (the “Conversion Rate”) shall be determined by dividing (x) such Conversion Amount by (y) the Conversion Price.
(i) “Conversion Amount” means the sum of (A) the portion of the Principal to be converted with respect to which this determination is being made, and (B) accrued and unpaid Late Charges, if any, with respect to such Principal.
(ii) “Conversion Price” means $0.10, subject to adjustment as provided herein (including, without limitation, adjustment pursuant to Section 6).
(c) Mechanics of Conversion.
(i) Optional Conversion. To convert any Conversion Amount into shares of Common Stock on any date (a “Conversion Date”), the Holder shall (A) transmit by facsimile (or otherwise deliver), for receipt on or prior to 4:00 p.m., Dallas, TX time, on such date, a copy of an executed notice of conversion in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I (the “Conversion Notice”) to the Company and (B) if required by Section 3(c)(iii), cause this Note to be delivered to the Company as soon as practicable on or following such date. On or before 4:00 p.m., Dallas, TX time, on the first (1st) Business Day following the date of receipt of a Conversion Notice, the Company shall transmit by facsimile a confirmation of receipt of such Conversion Notice to the Holder (at the facsimile number provided in the Conversion Notice) and the Company’s transfer agent, if any (the “Transfer Agent”). On or before 4:00 p.m., Dallas, TX time, on the third (3rd) Business Day following the date of receipt of a Conversion Notice (the “Share Delivery Date”), the Company shall (X) provided the Transfer Agent is participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, cause the Transfer Agent to credit such aggregate number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled to the Holder's or its designee's balance account with DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal At Custodian (“DWAC”) system, or (Y) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, or if the Holder otherwise requests, issue and deliver to the address as specified in the Conversion Notice, a certificate, registered in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled. If this Note is physically surrendered for conversion as required by Section 3(c)(iii) and the outstanding Principal of this Note is greater than the Principal portion of the Conversion Amount being converted, then the Company shall as soon as practicable and in no event later than three (3) Business Days after receipt of this Note and at its own expense, issue and deliver to the Holder a new Note (in accordance with Section 12(d)), representing the outstanding Principal not converted. The Person or Persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon a conversion of this Note shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock on the Conversion Date.
| 3 |
(ii) Company’s Failure to Timely Convert. If, at any time, the Company shall fail to credit the Holder’s balance account with DTC or issue a certificate to the Holder, as the case may be, upon conversion of any Conversion Amount on or prior to the date which is seven (7) Business Days after the Conversion Date (a “Conversion Failure”), then (A) the Company shall pay damages to the Holder for each day of such Conversion Failure in an amount equal to 1.5% of the product of (I) the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock not issued to the Holder on or prior to the Share Delivery Date and to which the Holder is entitled, and (II) the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Share Delivery Date and (B) the Holder, upon written notice to the Company, may void its Conversion Notice with respect to, and retain or have returned, as the case may be, any portion of this Note that has not been converted pursuant to such Conversion Notice; provided that the voiding of a Conversion Notice shall not affect the Company’s obligations to make any payments which have accrued prior to the date of such notice pursuant to this Section 3(c)(ii) or otherwise.
(iii) Book-Entry. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, upon conversion of any portion of this Note in accordance with the terms hereof, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Note to the Company unless (A) the full Conversion Amount represented by this Note is being converted or (B) the Holder has provided the Company with prior written notice (which notice may be included in a Conversion Notice) requesting physical surrender and reissue of this Note. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the Principal and Late Charges converted and the dates of such conversions or shall use such other method, reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and the Company, so as not to require physical surrender of this Note upon conversion.
(iv) Disputes. In the event of a dispute between the Company and the Holder of this Note as to the number of shares of Common Stock issuable to the Holder in connection with a conversion of this Note, the Company shall issue to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock not in dispute and resolve such dispute in accordance with Section 17.

| 6 |
(b) Rights Upon Event of Default. Promptly after the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Company shall deliver written notice thereof (an “Event of Default Notice”) to the Holder, and the Majority Investors may, at their option, by notice to the Company (an “Event of Default Acceleration Notice”), declare the Default Amount to be due and payable upon demand (an “Acceleration”), provided that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default described in Sections 4(a)(iv) and 4(a)(v) above, such Acceleration shall occur automatically without requiring the delivery of an Event of Default Acceleration Notice, such that the Default Amount shall automatically become immediately due and payable without any further notice, demand or other action. For purposes hereof, the “Default Amount” shall equal the entire unpaid Principal balance under this Note, plus all previously accrued and unpaid Late Charges, in each case without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by the Company. Following an Acceleration (other than an Acceleration based on an Event of Default described in Sections 4(a)(iv) and 4(a)(v) above), the Holder shall have the right, but not the obligation, to demand payment in full of the Default Amount at any time prior to the original Maturity Date of this Note upon written notice to the Company (a “Demand Notice”). The Company shall deliver the applicable Default Amount to the Holder (x) in the case of an Event of Default under Section 4(a)(iv) or 4(a)(v), immediately, and (y) in the case of any other Event of Default, within five (5) Business Days after the Company’s receipt of the Demand Notice. In the event the Company fails to deliver the Default Amount as described above, the Holder shall be permitted to exercise such rights as a secured party or otherwise hereunder or under the other Transaction Documents to the extent permitted by applicable law.
| (5) | RIGHTS UPON A CHANGE OF CONTROL. |
(a) Assumption. The Company shall not enter into or be party to a transaction resulting in a Change of Control unless the Successor Entity assumes in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Note and the other Transaction Documents in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5(a) pursuant to written agreements on or prior to the consummation of such Change of Control, including the agreement to deliver to the Holder of this Note in exchange for this Note a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Note, including, without limitation, having a principal amount equal to the principal amount of this Note (the “Successor Note”). Upon the occurrence of any Change of Control, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Change of Control, the provisions of this Note referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company under this Note with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein, until such time as the Successor Note is delivered. Upon consummation of a Reclassification or Change of Control as a result of which holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive stock, securities, cash, assets or any other property with respect to or in exchange for such Common Stock, the Company or Successor Entity, as the case may be, shall deliver to the Holder confirmation that there shall be issued upon conversion of this Note at any time after the consummation of such Reclassification or Change of Control, in lieu of the shares of Common Stock (or other securities, cash, assets or other property) issuable upon the conversion of this Note prior to such Reclassification or Change of Control, such shares of stock, securities, cash, assets or any other property whatsoever (including warrants or other purchase or subscription rights) which the Holder would have been entitled to receive upon the happening of such Reclassification or Change of Control had this Note been converted immediately prior to such Reclassification or Change of Control, as adjusted in accordance with the provisions of this Note. The provisions of this Section 5(a) shall apply similarly and equally to successive Change of Control transactions and shall be applied without regard to any limitations on the conversion of this Note.
| 7 |
| (6) | RIGHTS UPON ISSUANCE OF OTHER SECURITIES. |
(a) Record Date. If the Company takes a record of the holders of Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in Common Stock, Options or in Convertible Securities, then such record date will be deemed to be the date of the issue or sale of the Common Stock deemed to have been issued or sold upon the declaration of such dividend or the making of such other distribution, as the case may be.
(b) Adjustment of Conversion Rate upon Subdivision or Combination of Common Stock; Stock Dividends. If the Company at any time, or from time to time, subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced. If the Company at any time, or from time to time, combines (by combination, reverse stock split or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately increased. Any adjustment under this Section 6(b) shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective or, in the case of a stock dividend, the date of such event.
(c) (i) Adjustment of Conversion Rate upon Cash Dividends and Distributions. If the Company at any time, or from time to time, pays a dividend or makes a distribution in cash to the record holders of any class of Common Stock, then immediately after the close of business on the day that the Common Stock trades ex-distribution, the Conversion Price then in effect shall be reduced to an amount equal to the product of (i) the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such dividend or distribution and (ii) the quotient determined by dividing (A) the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the day that the Common Stock trades ex-distribution by (B) the sum of (1) the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the day that the Common Stock trades ex-distribution plus (2) the amount per share of such dividend or distribution. The Company shall not be required to give effect to any adjustment in the Conversion Price pursuant to this Section 6(c) unless and until the net effect of one or more adjustments (each of which shall be carried forward until counted toward an adjustment), determined in accordance with this Section 6(c), shall have resulted in a change of the Conversion Price by at least 1%, and when the cumulative net effect of more than one adjustment so determined shall be to change the Conversion Price by at least 1%, such change in the Conversion Price shall then be given effect.
(ii) Adjustment of Conversion Rate upon Distributions of Capital Stock, Indebtedness or Other Non-Cash Assets. If the Company at any time, or from time to time, distributes any shares of capital stock of the Company (other than Common Stock), evidences of indebtedness or other non-cash assets (including securities of any person other than the Company but excluding (1) dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash or (2) dividends or distributions referred to in Section 6(b)) to the record holders of any class of Common Stock, then the Conversion Price then in effect shall be reduced to an amount equal to the product of (A) the Conversion Price then in effect and (B) a fraction of which the numerator shall be the Closing Sale Price per share of the Common Stock on the record date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution less the fair market value on such record date (as determined by the Board of Directors) of the portion of the capital stock, evidences of indebtedness or other non-cash assets so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock (determined on the basis of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the record date) and of which the denominator shall be the Closing Sale Price per share of the Common Stock on such record date.
| 8 |
(d) Other Events; Other Dividends and Distributions. If any event occurs of the type contemplated by the provisions of this Section 6 but not expressly provided for by such provisions (including, without limitation, the granting of stock appreciation rights, phantom stock rights or other rights with equity features), then the Company’s Board of Directors shall, in good faith, make an adjustment in the Conversion Price so as to protect the rights of the Holder under this Note; provided that no such adjustment will increase the Conversion Price as otherwise determined pursuant to this Section 6.
(e) Notice of Adjustment. Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to this Section 6, the Company shall promptly mail notice of such adjustment to the Holder, which notice shall set forth the Conversion Price after adjustment, the date on which such adjustment became effective and a brief statement of the facts resulting in such adjustment.
(7) NONCIRCUMVENTION. The Company hereby covenants and agrees that the Company will not, by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, scheme of arrangement, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Note, and will at all times in good faith carry out all of the provisions of this Note and take all action as may be required to protect the rights of the Holder of this Note.
| (8) | RESERVATION OF AUTHORIZED SHARES. |
(a) Reservation. The Company shall at all times reserve out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock a number of shares of Common Stock equal to 120% of the Conversion Rate with respect to the full Conversion Amount of this Note, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of this Note (the “Required Reserve Amount”).
(b) Insufficient Authorized Shares. If at any time while this Note remains outstanding the Company does not have a sufficient number of authorized and unreserved shares of Common Stock to satisfy its obligation to reserve the Required Reserve Amount (an “Authorized Share Failure”), then the Company shall take all action necessary to increase the Company’s authorized shares of Common Stock to an amount sufficient to allow the Company to reserve the Required Reserve Amount. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, as soon as practicable after the date of the occurrence of an Authorized Share Failure, but in no event later than seventy-five (75) days after the occurrence of such Authorized Share Failure, the Company shall hold a meeting of its stockholders for the approval of an increase in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock. In connection with such meeting, the Company shall provide each stockholder with a proxy statement and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to solicit its stockholders’ approval of such increase in authorized shares of Common Stock and to cause its board of directors to recommend to the stockholders that they approve such proposal.
| 9 |
(9) VOTING RIGHTS. The Holder shall have no voting rights as the Holder of this Note, except as required by law, including, but not limited to, the General Corporation Law of the State of Nevada, and as expressly provided in this Note, the Company’s Charter or any of the other Transaction Documents.
(10) VOTE TO ISSUE, OR CHANGE THE TERMS OF, NOTE. Any provision of this Note may be amended, waived or modified only upon the written consent of both the Company and the Majority Investors; provided, that no amendment or waiver may (a) extend the Maturity Date of this Note, (b) decrease the Conversion Price or Conversion Rate of this Note, or (c) reduce the percentage of Notes required for consent to any modifications of the Notes, without the consent of the Holder of this Note.
(11) TRANSFER. This Note and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note may not be offered for sale, sold, transferred or assigned (i) in the absence of (a) an effective registration statement for this Note or the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note, as applicable, or (b) an opinion of counsel (selected by the Holder and reasonably acceptable to the Company), in a form reasonable acceptable to the Company, that this Note and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note may be offered for sale, sold, assigned or transferred pursuant to an exemption from registration; provided that such opinion of counsel shall not be required in connection with any such sale, assignment or transfer to an institutional accredited investor that is, prior to such sale, assignment or transfer, an affiliate of the Holder, or (ii) unless the Holder provides the Company with assurance (reasonably satisfactory to the Company) that such Note or the shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of this Note can be sold, assigned or transferred pursuant to Rule 144.
| (12) | REISSUANCE OF THIS NOTE. |
(a) Transfer. This Note is issued in registered form pursuant to Treasury Regulations section 1.871-14(c)(1). The Company (or its agent) will maintain a record of the Holder of this Note, and of Principal hereof, as required by that regulation. This Note may be transferred or otherwise assigned only by surrender of this Note and issuance of a new Note in accordance with this Section 12, and neither this Note nor any interest herein may be sold, transferred or assigned to any Person except upon satisfaction of the conditions specified in this Section 12. If this Note is to be transferred or assigned, the Holder shall surrender this Note to the Company, whereupon the Company will forthwith issue and deliver upon the order of the Holder a new Note (in accordance with Section 12(d)), registered as the Holder may request, representing the outstanding Principal being transferred by the Holder and, if less than the entire outstanding Principal is being transferred, a new Note (in accordance with Section 12(d)) to the Holder representing the outstanding Principal not being transferred. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Note, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of Section 3(c)(iii) following conversion of any portion of this Note, the outstanding Principal represented by this Note may be less than the Principal stated on the face of this Note.
| 10 |
(b) Lost, Stolen or Mutilated Note. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Note, and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of any indemnification undertaking by the Holder to the Company in customary form and, in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of this Note, the Company shall execute and deliver to the Holder a new Note (in accordance with Section 12(d)) representing the then outstanding Principal.
(c) Note Exchangeable for Different Denominations. This Note is exchangeable, upon the surrender hereof by the Holder at the principal office of the Company, for a new Note or Notes (in accordance with Section 12(d) and in Principal amounts of at least $100,000) representing in the aggregate the outstanding Principal of this Note, and each such new Note will represent such portion of such outstanding Principal as is designated by the Holder at the time of such surrender.
(d) Issuance of New Notes. Whenever the Company is required to issue a new Note pursuant to the terms of this Note, such new Note (i) shall be of like tenor with this Note, (ii) shall represent, as indicated on the face of such new Note, the Principal remaining outstanding (or in the case of a new Note being issued pursuant to Section 12(a) or Section 12(c), the Principal designated by the Holder which, when added to the principal represented by the other new Notes issued in connection with such issuance, does not exceed the Principal remaining outstanding under this Note immediately prior to such issuance of new Notes), (iii) shall have an issuance date, as indicated on the face of such new Note, which is the same as the Issuance Date of this Note, and (iv) shall have the same rights and conditions as this Note.
(13) REMEDIES, CHARACTERIZATIONS, OTHER OBLIGATIONS, BREACHES AND INJUNCTIVE RELIEF. The remedies provided in this Note shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available under this Note and any of the other Transaction Documents at law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief), and nothing herein shall limit the Holder’s right to pursue actual and consequential damages for any failure by the Company to comply with the terms of this Note. Amounts set forth or provided for herein with respect to payments, conversion and the like (and the computation thereof) shall be the amounts to be received by the Holder and shall not, except as expressly provided herein, be subject to any other obligation of the Company (or the performance thereof). The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Holder and that the remedy at law for any such breach may be inadequate. The Company therefore agrees that, in the event of any such breach or threatened breach, the Holder shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction restraining any breach, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.
(14) PAYMENT OF COLLECTION, ENFORCEMENT AND OTHER COSTS. If (a) this Note is placed in the hands of an attorney for collection or enforcement or is collected or enforced through any legal proceeding or the Holder otherwise takes action to collect amounts due under this Note or to enforce the provisions of this Note or (b) there occurs any bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership of the Company or other proceedings affecting Company creditors’ rights and involving a claim under this Note, then the Company shall pay the costs incurred by the Holder for such collection, enforcement or action or in connection with such bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership or other proceeding, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements.

(16) FAILURE OR INDULGENCE NOT WAIVER. No failure or delay on the part of the Holder in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other right, power or privilege.

In the case of a dispute as to the arithmetic calculation of the Conversion Rate, the Company shall submit the disputed arithmetic calculations via facsimile within three (3) Business Days of receipt, or deemed receipt, of the Conversion Notice, as the case may be, to the Holder.

The Company, at the Company’s expense, shall cause the accountant, as the case may be, to perform the calculations and notify the Company and the Holder of the results no later than ten (10) Business Days from the time it receives the disputed calculations.
