This summary highlights selected information about Stereotaxis and a general description of the securities that may be offered for resale by the selling stockholders. This summary is not complete and does not contain all of the information that may be important to you. For a more complete understanding of us and the securities offered by the selling stockholders, you should carefully read this entire prospectus, including the Risk Factors section, any applicable prospectus supplement for these securities and the other documents we refer to and incorporate by reference. In particular, we incorporate important business and financial information into this prospectus by reference.
The Company
Stereotaxis designs, manufactures and markets the Epoch Solution, which is an advanced cardiology instrument control system for use in a hospitals interventional surgical suite, or interventional lab, that we believe revolutionizes the treatment of arrhythmias and coronary artery disease by enabling enhanced safety, efficiency and efficacy for catheter-based, or interventional, procedures. The Epoch Solution is comprised of the Niobe ES Robotic Magnetic Navigation System (Niobe ES system), Odyssey Information Management Solution (Odyssey Solution), and the Vdrive Robotic Navigation System. We believe that our technology represents an important advance in the ongoing trend toward fully digitized, integrated and automated interventional labs and provides substantial, clinically important improvements and cost efficiencies over manual interventional methods, which often result in long and unpredictable procedure times with suboptimal therapeutic outcomes. We believe that our technology represents an important advance supporting efficient and effective information management and physician collaboration. The core elements of our technology, especially the Niobe ES system, are protected by an extensive patent portfolio, as well as substantial know-how and trade secrets.
Our Niobe ES system is the latest generation of the Niobe Robotic Magnetic Navigation System (Niobe system), which allows physicians to more effectively navigate proprietary catheters, guidewires and other delivery devices, both our own and those we are co-developing through strategic alliances, through the blood vessels and chambers of the heart to treatment sites in order to effect treatment. This is achieved using computer-controlled, externally applied magnetic fields that precisely and directly govern the motion of the internal, or working, tip of the catheter, guidewire or other interventional devices. We believe that our Niobe ES system represents a revolutionary technology in the interventional lab, bringing precise remote digital instrument control and programmability to the interventional lab, and has the potential to become the standard of care for a broad range of complex cardiology procedures.
The Niobe system is designed primarily for use by interventional electrophysiologists in the treatment of abnormal heart rhythms known as arrhythmias and approximately 3% of usage is by interventional cardiologists in the treatment of coronary artery disease. To date the significant majority of Stereotaxis installations worldwide are intended for use in electrophysiology. The Niobe system is designed to be installed in both new and replacement interventional labs worldwide. Current and potential purchasers of our Niobe system include leading research and academic hospitals as well as community and regional medical centers around the world. The core components of the Niobe system have received regulatory clearance in the U.S., Canada, Europe, China, and various other countries.
Stereotaxis has also developed the Odyssey Solution which provides an innovative enterprise solution for integrating, recording and networking interventional lab information within hospitals and around the world. The Odyssey Solution consists of several lab solutions including Odyssey Vision to consolidate all of the lab information from multiple sources, freeing doctors from managing complex interfaces during patient therapy for optimal procedural and clinical efficiency. In addition, we offer two lower cost alternatives which consolidate the lab information without providing a large display and an interface for connecting partner large display systems - known as Odyssey Link and Odyssey Interface, respectively. The Odyssey Solution also includes a remote procedure viewing and recording capability in a basic Odyssey Cinema LT or premium Odyssey Cinema Studio offering (Odyssey Cinema system). The Odyssey Cinema system is an innovative solution delivering synchronized content targeted to improve care, enhance performance, increase referrals and market services. This tool includes an archiving capability that allows clinicians to store and replay entire procedures or segments of procedures. This information can be accessed from locations throughout the hospital local area network and over the Internet from anywhere with sufficient bandwidth. The Odyssey Cinema Studio offering includes a production console, Studio, to facilitate Internet broadcasting, collaboration and presentation editing. The Studio console leverages a global Odyssey Network enabling hospitals to broadcast to anyone or collaborate between hospitals that use the Odyssey system. The Odyssey Solution may be acquired either as part of the Epoch Solution or on a stand-alone basis for installation in interventional labs and other locations where clinicians desire improved clinical workflows and related efficiencies. We have received regulatory clearance, licensing and/or CE Mark approvals necessary for us to market the Odyssey Solution in the U.S., Canada, European Union and some other countries and we are in the process of obtaining necessary approvals for extending our markets in other countries.
Our Vdrive Robotic Navigation System provides navigation and stability for diagnostic and therapeutic devices designed to improve interventional procedures. The Vdrive Robotic Navigation System complements the Niobe ES system control of therapeutic catheters for fully remote procedures and enables single-operator workflow and is sold as two options, the Vdrive System and the Vdrive Duo System. In addition to the Vdrive System and the Vdrive Duo System, we also manufacture and market various disposable components which can be manipulated by these systems. We have received the CE Mark and regulatory licensing that allows us to market certain configurations of the Vdrive System and the Vdrive Duo System in Europe and Canada. We are in the process of obtaining the necessary clearance for the V-loop device in the United States.

We promote the full Epoch Solution in a typical hospital implementation, subject to regulatory approvals or clearances. The full Epoch Solution implementation requires a hospital to agree to an upfront capital payment and recurring payments. The upfront capital payment typically includes equipment and installation charges. The recurring payments typically include disposable costs for each procedure, equipment service costs beyond warranty period, and software licenses and Odyssey Network fees. In hospitals where the full Epoch Solution has not been implemented, equipment upgrade or expansion can be implemented upon purchasing of the necessary upgrade or expansion.
We were incorporated in Delaware in June 1990 as Stereotaxis, Inc.

Securities Being Offered
On May 7, 2012, we entered into a Stock and Warrant Purchase Agreement (the PIPE SPA) with the selling stockholders hereunder pursuant to which we sold an aggregate of approximately 21.7 million shares of our common stock (the PIPE Common Stock) at a price of $0.3361 per share, together with six-year warrants at a price of $0.125 per share to purchase an aggregate of approximately 21.7 million shares of our common stock having an exercise price of $0.3361 per share (the PIPE Warrants). Each purchaser thereunder received a PIPE Warrant to purchase one share of common stock for every share of PIPE Common Stock purchased. That transaction closed on May 10, 2012. In connection therewith, each of the selling stockholders, as well as certain other of our existing stockholders delivered voting agreements (the Voting Agreements), pursuant to which each such stockholder will agree to vote shares beneficially held by the stockholder in favor of certain matters (the Stockholder Approval Matters) intended to increase the number of the authorized and unissued shares of our common stock, a potential reverse stock split and the transactions described below under Concurrent TransactionsSubordinated Convertible Debentures.
Net proceeds from the sale of the securities under the PIPE SPA were approximately $9.2 million, after placement agent fees and other offering expenses.
We used the funds to repay $7 million of the revolving credit facility guaranteed by Alafi Capital Company and affiliates of Sanderling Venture Partners, as described further below, and the balance we plan to use for working capital, and for general corporate purposes.
This registration statement is being filed pursuant to a registration rights agreement with the purchasers of the PIPE Common Stock (the PIPE Registration Rights Agreement), under which we agreed to undertake to file a resale registration statement, on behalf of the selling stockholders, with respect to the resale of the PIPE Common Stock and shares underlying the PIPE Warrants and to use our commercially reasonable efforts to cause such resale registration statement to be declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) not later than 60 calendar days (or, in the event the SEC comments on the Registration Statement, 90 calendar days) following the closing. If we are unable to timely satisfy such deadlines, we could incur penalties of up to 10% of the offering proceeds for such non-compliance. In addition, we expect to register an additional 15,181,089 shares issuable upon exercise of PIPE Warrants and an additional 5,174,219 shares issuable in connection with amendment two through six of the Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement described below under Concurrent Transactions Extension of Silicon Valley Bank Loan and Sanderling/Alafi Credit Support issued to Alafi Capital Company and the Sanderling Venture Partners affiliates upon receipt of approval of the Stockholder Approval Matters. We have not included those shares in the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part because we have insufficient authorized shares of common stock and therefore have not reserved shares of our common stock underlying those PIPE Warrants.
The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by the terms of the PIPE SPA, PIPE Registration Rights Agreement, Voting Agreements, and PIPE Warrants, the forms of which are incorporated herein by reference.
Concurrent transactions
Subordinated Convertible Debentures
On May 7, 2012, we also entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the Convertible Debt SPA) with certain institutional investors whereby we agreed to sell an aggregate of approximately $8.5 million in aggregate principal amount of unsecured, subordinated, convertible debentures (the Debentures), which will become convertible into shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $0.3361 per share (or approximately 25.2 million shares in the aggregate), no later than the date that we are required to hold a meeting to approve the Stockholder Approval Matters. The purchasers of the Debentures also received six-year
2
warrants to purchase approximately 25.2 million shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.3361 per share (the Convertible Debt Warrants). In addition, we have the ability to issue shares of our common stock in lieu of cash interest payments under certain circumstances, and intend to do so at such time as we have registered the shares for resale as described below. This transaction also closed on May 10, 2012. No shares of common stock may be issued upon conversion of the Debentures or exercise of the Warrants, as applicable, until we have received approval of the Stockholder Approval Matters described above. If we have not received such approval by August 1, 2012, we may be obligated to pay cash in lieu of issuing any shares that would have otherwise been issuable upon such conversion or exercise, as the case may be, on a net issuance basis, subject to the subordination agreement between the investors and Silicon Valley Bank, described below.
In connection with the transactions contemplated by the Convertible Debt SPA, the purchasers of the Debentures entered into a subordination agreement with Silicon Valley Bank pursuant to which payments under the Debentures are subordinated in right of payment to all obligations of the Company to Silicon Valley Bank, subject to certain exceptions including our right to make regularly scheduled, non-accelerated payment of non-default cash interest payment as and when due and payable under the Debentures until the earlier of (i) four months after the date of the Subordination Agreement and (ii) such time as we have the ability under our charter documents and applicable law to settle such interest payments by issuing our common stock in accordance with the terms of the Debentures.
Pursuant to a registration rights agreement entered into with the purchasers of the Convertible Debt SPA (the Convertible Debt Registration Rights Agreement), we agreed to file a resale registration statement, on behalf of the investors under the Convertible Debt SPA, with respect to the resale of the common stock issuable under the Debentures and Convertible Debt Warrants, including the interest shares as described above, not later than 30 calendar days following the closing and to use our commercially reasonable efforts to cause such resale registration statement to be declared effective by the SEC not later than 90 calendar days (or, in the event the SEC comments on the Registration Statement, 120 calendar days) following the closing. If we are unable to timely satisfy such deadlines, we could incur penalties of up to 10% of the offering proceeds for such non-compliance.
The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by the terms of the Convertible Debt SPA, Debentures, Convertible Debt Registration Rights Agreement, Subordination Agreement, and Convertible Debt Warrants, the forms of which are incorporated herein by reference.
Extension of Silicon Valley Bank Loan and Sanderling/Alafi Credit Support
In connection with the above closing and funding of the above transactions, we and one of our wholly-owned subsidiaries (the Subsidiary) entered into a Third Loan Modification Agreement (Domestic), amending the Second Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement (Domestic), dated November 11, 2011(the Amended Loan Agreement), with Silicon Valley Bank to extend the maturity of the current working capital line of credit from May 15, 2012 to March 31, 2013 and decrease the $10 million sublimit for borrowings supported by guarantees from the Lenders (as described below) to $3 million. Under the revised facility we are required to maintain a minimum liquidity ratio and a minimum tangible net worth as defined in the Amended Loan Agreement.
Also in connection with the above closing and funding of the above transactions, we and the Subsidiary entered into an Export-Import Bank Third Loan Modification Agreement with Silicon Valley Bank (the Ex-Im Modification Agreement) to extend the maturity date of the revolving line of credit under that certain Amended and Restated Export-Import Bank Loan and Security Agreement dated November 30, 2011 from May 15, 2012 to March 31, 2013 and reduce the Ex-Im sublimit under the revolving line of credit from $10 million to $5 million.
Also in connection with the above closing and funding of the above transactions and with the Silicon Valley Bank extension described above, we entered into a further amendment to the Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement dated February 21, 2008, as amended (the Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement), with Alafi Capital Company and affiliates of Sanderling Venture Partners (collectively, the Lenders) to decrease from $10 million in aggregate to $3 million, and to further extend the Lenders obligation to provide either direct loans to us or loan guarantees to our primary bank lender through the earlier of March 31, 2013, the date that we elect to extinguish the guarantee, or the date we receive $30 million of third party, non-bank financing. We granted to the Lenders warrants (the 2013 Extension Warrants) to purchase an aggregate of approximately 2.3 million shares of common stock in exchange for their extension. The 2013 Extension Warrants would be exercisable at a per share price equal to the closing bid price for Nasdaq purposes on the day prior to the commitment being entered into.
The Lenders are affiliates of Fred A. Middleton and Christopher Alafi, respectively, each of whom is a member of our board of directors. This facility may also be used by us to guarantee our loan commitments with Silicon Valley Bank, our primary bank lender, through the same extended term.

Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. Prior to making a decision about investing in our securities, you should carefully consider the risks described in, or incorporated by reference in, this prospectus, including the risks described below and under the caption Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, and in any other reports that we file with the SEC, along with the other information included or incorporated by reference in this prospectus, in evaluating an investment in our common stock. The information included or incorporated by reference in this prospectus may be amended, supplemented or superseded from time to time by other reports we file with the SEC in the future. For a description of these reports and documents, and information about where you can find them, see the sections entitled Where You Can Find More Information and Incorporation of Certain Information by Reference in this prospectus.
The risks and uncertainties described in this prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus are not the only ones facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties that we do not presently know about or that we currently believe are not material may also adversely affect our business. If any of the risks and uncertainties described in this prospectus or the documents incorporated by reference herein actually occur, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected in a material way. As a result, the trading price of our common stock and/or the value of any other securities we may issue may decline, and you might lose part or all of your investment.
We may not be able to comply with debt covenants and may have to repay outstanding indebtedness.
We have financed our operations through equity and convertible debt transactions, a financing of our catheter royalty stream under the Cowen Healthcare facility entered into in November 2011, as well as bank and other borrowings. We recently extended our revolving line of credit, which matures on March 31, 2013, and our Debentures mature on May 10, 2014. In addition, our current convertible debt and other borrowing agreements contain various covenants, including financial covenants under our Silicon Valley Bank line. The covenants in these various agreements are similar, but are not identical in all respects. If we violate our covenants, we could be required to repay the indebtedness as to which that default relates. In addition, as a result of various cross-default provisions in these agreements, a violation of the covenants under one or more of such agreements could trigger our obligation to repay all of our existing indebtedness. We could be unable to make these payments, which could lead to insolvency. Even if we are able to make these payments, it will lead to the lack of availability for additional borrowings under our bank loan agreement due to our borrowing capacity. There can be no assurance that we will be able to maintain compliance with these covenants or that we could replace this source of liquidity if these covenants were to be violated and our loans and other borrowed amounts were forced to be repaid.
We are no longer eligible to use Form S-3, which could impair our capital raising activities.
In addition, as of the date of this prospectus, we are no longer eligible to use Form S-3 as a result of our recent payment default under our facility with Silicon Valley Bank. As a result, we cannot use Form S-3 to register resales of our securities for 12 months following our default, which occurred on April 30, 2012. In addition to the shares covered by the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, we have the obligation to file additional registration statements covering shares issuable upon conversion of our Debentures and upon exercise of various warrants to purchase our common stock. In addition, we are limited in our ability to file new shelf registration statements on SEC Form S-3 and/or to fully use the remaining capacity on our existing registration statements on SEC Form S-3. Moreover, our public float is below $75 million and may remain below $75 million for the foreseeable future. As a result, we may not be eligible to use Form S-3 for primary offerings even though we otherwise would regain the ability to use the form for resale registration statements 12 months following our payment default. We have relied significantly on shelf registration statements on SEC Form S-3 for most of our financings in recent years, and accordingly any such limitations may harm our ability to raise the capital we need. Under these circumstances, until we are again eligible to use Form S-3, we will be required to use a registration statement on Form S-1 to register securities with the SEC or issue such securities in a private placement, which could increase the cost of raising capital.
Our principal stockholders continue to own a large percentage of our voting stock, and they have the ability to substantially influence matters requiring stockholder approval.
Our executive officers, directors and individuals or entities affiliated with them beneficially own or control a substantial percentage of the outstanding shares of our common stock. Moreover, following approval of the Stockholder Approval Matters, certain of our directors and their affiliated funds will have the ability to obtain a substantial portion of our common stock. Accordingly, these executive officers, directors and their affiliates, acting as a group, will have substantial influence over the outcome of corporate actions requiring stockholder approval, including the election of directors, any merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of our assets or any other significant corporate transaction. These stockholders may also delay or prevent a change of control, even if such a change of control would benefit our other stockholders. This significant concentration of stock ownership may adversely affect the trading price of our common stock due to investors perception that conflicts of interest may exist or arise.
Future issuances of our securities could dilute current stockholders ownership.
We are registering for resale 6,506,181 shares of our common stock issuable upon exercise of warrants held by certain selling stockholders identified in this prospectus. In addition, upon receipt of approval of the Stockholder Approval Matters, we intend to file one or more prospectuses for
4
the resales of an additional 15,181,089 shares issuable upon exercise of PIPE Warrants and an additional 5,174,219 shares issuable in connection with amendments two through six of the Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement issued to Alafi Capital Company and the Sanderling Venture Partners affiliates, as well as shares issuable on conversion of the Debentures and upon exercise of the Convertible Debt Warrants. When issued, those securities would become convertible or exercisable into approximately 50.4 million shares of our common stock. Moreover, we expect to pay interest on the Debentures using shares of our common stock following the approval of the Stockholder Approval Matters. The exercise price of most of these securities (including all of the PIPE Warrants, the Debentures and the Convertible Debt Warrants) is $0.3361. A significant number of shares of our common stock are subject to stock options and stock appreciation rights, and we may request the ability to issue additional such securities to our employees. We may also decide to raise additional funds through public or private debt or equity financing to fund our operations. While we cannot predict the effect, if any, that future sales of debt, our common stock, other equity securities or securities convertible into our common stock or other equity securities or the availability of any of the foregoing for future sale, will have on the market price of our common stock, it is likely that sales of substantial amounts of our common stock (including shares issued upon the exercise of stock options, stock appreciation rights or the conversion of any convertible securities outstanding now or in the future), or the perception that such sales could occur, will adversely affect prevailing market prices for our common stock.

We will not receive any proceeds from the selling stockholders sales of our common stock. We could receive up to a maximum of approximately $2,186,727 million in proceeds from the cash exercise of all the warrants held by the selling stockholders and covered by this prospectus, which proceeds would be used for working capital and general corporate purposes. As of the date hereof, none of the warrants have been exercised.

As described above, on May 7, 2012, we entered into the PIPE SPA with Alafi Capital Company LLC, certain affiliates of Sanderling Venture Partners, and certain affiliates of the Franklin Templeton funds and identified below whereby we sold an aggregate of approximately 21.7 million shares of PIPE Common Stock at a price of $0.3361 per share, together with PIPE Warrants to purchase an aggregate of approximately 21.7 million shares of common stock at a price of $0.125 per share having an exercise price of $0.3361 per share. Each purchaser thereunder received a PIPE Warrant to purchase one share of common stock for every share of PIPE Common Stock purchased.
This prospectus relates to the sale or other disposition of 21,687,270 shares of PIPE Common Stock and 6,506,181 shares of common stock underlying the PIPE Warrants issued to the affiliates of Franklin Templeton described below, or their respective transferees. The issuance of the shares upon exercise of PIPE Warrants is not covered by this prospectus; only the resale of the shares underlying warrants are covered. The shares issuable upon exercise of the PIPE Warrants issued to Alafi Capital Company LLC and the Sanderling Venture Partners affiliates is also not covered by this prospectus. The average weighted exercise price of the warrants is $0.3361 per share.
In addition, under the terms of the PIPE Warrants, a selling stockholder may not exercise the PIPE Warrants to the extent such selling stockholder or any of its affiliates would beneficially own more than 19.999% of our common stock The numbers of shares set forth in the table below, however, do not reflect this limitation.
We have filed with the SEC, under the Securities Act, a registration statement on Form S-1, of which this prospectus forms a part, with respect to the resale of the shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants from time to time on the Nasdaq Global Market, in privately-negotiated transactions, or otherwise. We have agreed with the selling stockholders to keep the registration statement of which this prospectus constitutes a part effective until the earlier of (1) such time as all of the shares covered by this prospectus have been disposed of pursuant to and in accordance with the registration statement or (2) the date on which all of the shares may be sold without restriction pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act.
The following table sets forth the name of each selling stockholder, the number of shares of our common stock known by us to be beneficially owned by each selling stockholder as of May 11, 2012, the number of shares of our common stock that may be offered for resale for the account of each selling stockholder pursuant to this prospectus and the number of shares of our common stock to be held by each selling stockholder after the sale of all of the shares covered by this prospectus by that selling stockholder. The information is based on information provided by or on behalf of the selling stockholders. The selling stockholders may offer all, some or none of the common stock. Because the selling stockholders may offer all or some portion of the common stock, we cannot estimate the amount of the common stock that will be held by the selling stockholders upon termination of any of these sales. In addition the selling stockholders identified below may have sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of all or a portion of their common stock since the date on which they provided the information regarding their common stock in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. Percentage ownership is based on 78,044,356 shares of common stock outstanding as of May 11, 2012.
The selling stockholders may sell all, some or none of the common stock being offered. This information is based upon our review of public filings, our stockholder, optionholder and warrantholder registers and information furnished by the selling stockholders.

The selling stockholders, which as used herein includes donees, pledgees, transferees or other successors-in-interest selling shares of common stock or interests in shares of common stock received after the date of this prospectus from a selling stockholder as a gift, pledge, partnership distribution or other transfer, may, from time to time, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any or all of their shares of common stock or interests in shares of common stock on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions. These dispositions may be at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at prices related to the prevailing market price, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices.
The selling stockholders may use any one or more of the following methods when disposing of shares or interests therein:
| ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers; |
| block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent, but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction; |
| purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account; |
| an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange; |
| privately negotiated transactions; |
| short sales effected after the date the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part is declared effective by the SEC; |
| through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise; |
| broker-dealers may agree with the selling stockholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share; |
| a combination of any such methods of sale; and |
| any other method permitted by applicable law. |
The selling stockholders may, from time to time, pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the shares of common stock owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the shares of common stock, from time to time, under this prospectus, or under an amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act amending the list of selling stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling stockholders under this prospectus. The selling stockholders also may transfer the shares of common stock in other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.
In connection with the sale of our common stock or interests therein, the selling stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the common stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The selling stockholders may also sell shares of our common stock short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the common stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The selling stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or the creation of one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares offered by this prospectus, which shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).
The aggregate proceeds to the selling stockholders from the sale of the common stock offered by them will be the purchase price of the common stock less discounts or commissions, if any. Each of the selling stockholders reserves the right to accept and, together with their agents from time to time, to reject, in whole or in part, any proposed purchase of common stock to be made directly or through agents. We will not receive any of the proceeds from this offering. Upon any exercise of the warrants by payment of cash, however, we will receive the exercise price of the warrants.
The selling stockholders also may resell all or a portion of the shares in open market transactions in reliance upon Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, provided that they meet the criteria and conform to the requirements of that rule.
The selling stockholders and any underwriters, broker-dealers or agents that participate in the sale of the common stock or interests therein may be underwriters within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act. Any discounts, commissions, concessions or profit they earn on any resale of the shares may be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. Selling stockholders who are underwriters within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act.
9
To the extent required, the shares of our common stock to be sold, the names of the selling stockholders, the respective purchase prices and public offering prices, the names of any agents, dealer or underwriter, any applicable commissions or discounts with respect to a particular offer will be set forth in an accompanying prospectus supplement or, if appropriate, a post-effective amendment to the registration statement that includes this prospectus.
In order to comply with the securities laws of some states, if applicable, the common stock may be sold in these jurisdictions only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states the common stock may not be sold unless it has been registered or qualified for sale or an exemption from registration or qualification requirements is available and is complied with.
We have advised the selling stockholders that the anti-manipulation rules of Regulation M under the Exchange Act may apply to sales of shares in the market and to the activities of the selling stockholders and their affiliates. In addition, to the extent applicable we will make copies of this prospectus (as it may be supplemented or amended from time to time) available to the selling stockholders for the purpose of satisfying the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. The selling stockholders may indemnify any broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving the sale of the shares against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.
We have agreed to indemnify the selling stockholders against liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act and state securities laws, relating to the registration of the shares offered by this prospectus.
We have agreed with the selling stockholders to keep the registration statement of which this prospectus constitutes a part effective until the earlier of (1) such time as all of the shares covered by this prospectus have been disposed of pursuant to and in accordance with the registration statement or (2) the date on which all of the shares may be sold without restriction pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act.
10
As of the date of this prospectus, we are authorized to issue up to 110 million shares of capital stock, par value $.001 per share, divided into two classes designated, respectively, common stock and preferred stock. Of such shares authorized, 100 million shares are designated as common stock, and 10 million shares are designated as preferred stock. As part of the Stockholder Approval Matters described above under Prospectus Summary Securities Being Offered, we will seek stockholder approval of an increase in our authorized shares to not less than 300 million shares of common stock. In addition, we may implement a reverse stock split as a result of approval of the Stockholder Approval Minutes in a range of up to one-for-ten shares currently outstanding.
The following is a summary of the material terms of our capital stock and certain provisions of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws. Since the terms of our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, and Delaware law, are more detailed than the general information provided below, you should only rely on the actual provisions of those documents and Delaware law. If you would like to read those documents, they are on file with the SEC, as described under the heading Where You Can Find Additional Information below.
As of May 11, 2012, there were approximately 78,044,356 shares of common stock outstanding that were held of record by approximately 369 stockholders, although we believe that there is a significantly larger number of beneficial owners of our common stock. The holders of common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders. Our stockholders do not have cumulative voting rights in the election of directors. Accordingly, holders of a majority of the shares voting are able to elect all of the directors. Subject to preferences that may be granted to any then outstanding preferred stock, holders of common stock are entitled to receive ratably only those dividends as may be declared by the board of directors out of funds legally available therefor, as well as any distributions to the stockholders. In the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, holders of common stock are entitled to share ratably in all of our assets remaining after we pay our liabilities and distribute the liquidation preference of any then outstanding preferred stock. Holders of common stock have no preemptive or other subscription or conversion rights. There are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to the common stock.
Anti-Takeover Provisions of Delaware Law and Charter Provisions
Interested Stockholder Transactions. We are subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which prohibits a Delaware corporation from engaging in any business combination with any interested stockholder for a period of three years after the date that such stockholder became an interested stockholder, with the following exceptions:
| before such date, the board of directors of the corporation approved either the business combination or the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder; |
| upon consummation of the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction began, excluding for purposes of determining the number of shares outstanding those shares owned by persons who are directors and also officers and by employee stock plans in which employee participants do not have the right to determine confidentially whether shares held subject to the plan will be tendered in a tender or exchange offer; or |
| on or after such date, the business combination is approved by the board of directors and authorized at an annual or special meeting of the stockholders, and not by written consent, by the affirmative vote of at least 66 2/3% of the outstanding voting stock that is not owned by the interested stockholder. |
Section 203 defines business combination to include the following:
| any merger or consolidation involving the corporation and the interested stockholder; |
| any sale, transfer, pledge or other disposition involving the interested stockholder of assets with a value of 10% or more of either the total assets or all outstanding stock of the corporation; |
| subject to certain exceptions, any transaction that results in the issuance or transfer by the corporation of any stock of the corporation to the interested stockholder; |
| any transaction involving the corporation that has the effect of increasing the proportionate share of the stock or any class or series of the corporation beneficially owned by the interested stockholder; or |
| the receipt by the interested stockholder of the benefit of any loans, advances, guarantees, pledges or other financial benefits by or through the corporation. |
11
In general, Section 203 defines interested stockholder as an entity or person beneficially owning 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation or any entity or person affiliated with or controlling or controlled by such entity or person.
In addition, some provisions of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws may be deemed to have an anti-takeover effect and may delay or prevent a tender offer or takeover attempt that a stockholder might consider in its best interest, including those attempts that might result in a premium over the market price for the shares held by stockholders.
Cumulative Voting. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation expressly denies stockholders the right to cumulative voting in the election of directors.
Classified Board of Directors. Our board of directors is divided into three classes of directors serving staggered three-year terms. As a result, approximately one-third of the board of directors is elected each year, which has the effect of requiring at least two annual stockholder meetings, instead of one, to replace a majority of the members of the board. These provisions, when coupled with the provision of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation authorizing only the board of directors to fill vacant directorships or increase the size of the board of directors, may deter a stockholder from removing incumbent directors and simultaneously gaining control of the board of directors by filling the vacancies created by such removal with its own nominees. The certificate of incorporation also provides that directors may be removed by stockholders only for cause. Since the board of directors has the power to retain and discharge our officers, these provisions could also make it more difficult for existing stockholders or another party to effect a change in management.
Stockholder Action; Special Meeting of Stockholders. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and bylaws do not permit stockholders to act by written consent. They provide that special meetings of our stockholders may be called only by the chairman of our board of directors, our chief executive officer or a majority of our directors. Further, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that the stockholders may amend bylaws adopted by the board of directors or specified provisions of the certificate of incorporation by the affirmative vote of at least 66 2/3% of our capital stock.
Advance Notice Requirements for Stockholder Proposals and Directors Nominations. Our amended and restated bylaws provide that stockholders seeking to bring business before an annual meeting of stockholders, or to nominate candidates for election as directors at an annual meeting of stockholders, must provide timely notice in writing. To be timely, a stockholders notice must be delivered to or mailed and received at our principal executive offices not more than 120 days or less than 90 days prior to the anniversary date of the immediately preceding annual meeting of stockholders. However, in the event that the annual meeting is called for a date that is not within 30 days before or after such anniversary date, notice by the stockholder in order to be timely must be received not later than the close of business on the 10th day following the date on which notice of the date of the annual meeting was mailed to stockholders or made public, whichever first occurs. Our amended and restated bylaws also specify requirements as to the form and content of a stockholders notice. These provisions may preclude stockholders from bringing matters before an annual meeting of stockholders or from nominating directors at an annual meeting of stockholders.
Authorized But Unissued Shares. Our authorized but unissued shares of common stock and preferred stock are available for future issuance without stockholder approval. These additional shares may be utilized for a variety of corporate purposes, including future public offerings to raise additional capital, corporate acquisitions and employee benefit plans. The existence of authorized but unissued shares of common stock and preferred stock could render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of Stereotaxis by means of a proxy contest, tender offer, merger or otherwise.
Amendments; Supermajority Vote Requirements. The Delaware General Corporation Law provides generally that the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares entitled to vote on any matter is required to amend a corporations certificate of incorporation or bylaws, unless either a corporations certificate of incorporation or bylaws require a greater percentage. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation will impose supermajority vote requirements of 66 2/3% of the voting power of our capital stock in connection with the amendment of certain provisions of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws, including those provisions relating to the classified board of directors, action by written consent and the ability of stockholders to call special meetings.

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that, to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law as the same exists or may hereafter be amended, our directors shall not be liable to the Company or our stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director. In addition, our certificate of incorporation provides that we may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, indemnify any person made or threatened to be made a party to an action, suit or proceeding, whether criminal, civil, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that such person or his or her testator or intestate is or was a director, officer or employee of the Company, or any predecessor of the Company, or serves or served at any other enterprise as a director, officer or employee at the request of the Company.
Our amended and restated bylaws provide that the Company shall indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent not prohibited by the Delaware General Corporation Law or any other law. We are not required to indemnify any director or officer in connection with a proceeding brought by such director or officer unless (i) such indemnification is expressly required by law; (ii) the proceeding was authorized by our board of directors; or (iii) such indemnification is provided by the Company, in its sole discretion, pursuant to the powers vested in the Company under the Delaware General Corporation Law or any other applicable law. In addition, our bylaws provide that the Company may indemnify its employees and other agents as set forth in the Delaware General Corporation Law or any other applicable law.
We have also entered into separate indemnification agreements with our directors that require us, among other things, to indemnify each of them against certain liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service with the Company or on behalf of the Company, other than liabilities arising from willful misconduct of a culpable nature. The Company is not required to indemnify under the agreement for (i) actions initiated by the director without the authorization of consent of the board of directors; (ii) actions initiated to enforce the indemnification agreement unless the director is successful; (iii) actions resulting from violations of Section 16 of the Exchange Act in which a final judgment has been rendered against the director; and (iv) actions to enforce any non-compete or non-disclosure provisions of any agreement.
The indemnification provided for above provides for reimbursement of all losses of the indemnified party including, expenses, judgment, fines and amounts paid in settlement. The right to indemnification set forth above includes the right for us to pay the expenses (including attorneys fees) incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition in certain circumstances.
The Delaware General Corporation Law provides that indemnification is permissible only when the director, officer, employee, or agent acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the conduct was unlawful. The Delaware General Corporation Law also precludes indemnification in respect of any claim, issue, or matter as to which an officer, director, employee, or agent shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine that, despite such adjudication of liability, but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court deems proper.
We have agreed to indemnify the underwriters and their controlling persons, and the underwriters have agreed to indemnify us and our controlling persons, against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. Reference is made to the Underwriting Agreement filed as part of the exhibits hereto.

See Item 17 for information regarding our undertaking to submit to adjudication the issue of indemnification for violation of the securities laws.

Item 17. Undertakings.
(a) | The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes: |
(1) | To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement: |
(i) | To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933; |
(ii) | To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) (§230.424(b) of this chapter) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the Calculation of Registration Fee table in the effective registration statement. |
(iii) | To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement; |
(2) | That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. |
(3) | To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering. |
(4) | That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser: |
(i) | Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and |
(ii) | Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date. |
II-2
(b) | The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to deliver or cause to be delivered with the prospectus, to each person to whom the prospectus is sent or given, the latest annual report to security holders that is incorporated by reference in the prospectus and furnished pursuant to and meeting the requirements of Rule 14a-3 or Rule 14c-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; and, where interim financial information required to be presented by Article 3 of Regulation S-X are not set forth in the prospectus, to deliver, or cause to be delivered to each person to whom the prospectus is sent or given, the latest quarterly report that is specifically incorporated by reference in the prospectus to provide such interim financial information. |
(c) | Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. |

STEREOTAXIS, INC.
COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT
TO PURCHASE SHARES OF
COMMON STOCK, $0.001 PAR VALUE PER SHARE
This is to certify that, FOR VALUE RECEIVED, (Warrantholder), is entitled to purchase, subject to the provisions of this Common Stock Purchase Warrant (Warrant), from Stereotaxis, Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of Delaware (Company), at any time and from time to time on or after the Issue Date above, but not later than 5:00 P.M., St. Louis, Missouri time, on May 7, 2017 (the Expiration Date), [ ]1 shares (Warrant Shares) of Common Stock, $0.001 par value (Common Stock), of the Company, at an exercise price per share equal to $0.3361 (the exercise price in effect from time to time hereafter being herein called the Warrant Price). The number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant and the Warrant Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as described herein.
This Warrant has been issued pursuant to the terms of the Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement, dated February 21, 2008, amended by the First Amendment to Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement, made effective as of December 29, 2008, the Second Amendment to Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement, dated as of October 9, 2009, the Third Amendment to Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement, dated as of November 10, 2010, the Fourth Amendment to Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement, dated as of March 30, 2012, the Fifth Amendment to Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement, dated as of May 1, 2012, and by the Sixth Amendment to Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement, dated as of May 7, 2012 (as amended, the Purchase Agreement) by and among the Company, the Warrantholder and the other lenders set forth therein. Capitalized terms used herein and not defined shall have the meaning specified in the Purchase Agreement.
1 | For each Lender, insert (10.5)*(1/12)*(0.3*Committed Funds)/ 2013 Extension Exercise Price. |
1. Registration. The Company shall maintain books for the transfer and registration of the Warrant. Upon the initial issuance of the Warrant, the Company shall issue and register the Warrant in the name of the Warrantholder.
2. Transfers. As provided herein, this Warrant may be transferred only pursuant to a registration statement filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act), or an exemption from registration thereunder. Subject to such restrictions, the Company shall transfer this Warrant from time to time, upon the books to be maintained by the Company for that purpose, upon surrender hereof for transfer properly endorsed or accompanied by appropriate instructions for transfer upon any such transfer, and a new Warrant shall be issued to the transferee and the surrendered Warrant shall be canceled by the Company. References to Warrantholder or holder shall include any such transferee.
3. Exercise of Warrant. The Warrantholder may exercise this Warrant to purchase the Warrant Shares, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time on and after the Issue Date and before the Expiration Date upon surrender of the Warrant, together with delivery of the duly executed Warrant exercise form attached hereto (the Exercise Agreement) (which may be by fax or portable document format (pdf) delivered by email), to the Company during normal business hours on any business day at the Companys principal executive offices (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice to the holder hereof), and upon payment to the Company in cash, by certified or official bank check or by wire transfer for the account of the Company of the Warrant Price for the Warrant Shares specified in the Exercise Agreement. The Warrant Shares so purchased shall be deemed to be issued to the holder hereof or such holders designee, as the record owner of such shares, as of the close of business on the date on which the completed Exercise Agreement shall have been delivered to the Company (or such later date as may be specified in the Exercise Agreement). Certificates for the Warrant Shares so purchased, representing the aggregate number of shares specified in the Exercise Agreement, shall be delivered to the holder hereof within a reasonable time, not exceeding five (5) business days, after this Warrant shall have been so exercised. The certificates so delivered shall be in such denominations as may be requested by the holder hereof and shall be registered in the name of such holder or such other name as shall be designated by such holder. If this Warrant shall have been exercised only in part, then, unless this Warrant has expired, the Company shall, at its expense, at the time of delivery of such certificates, deliver to the holder a new Warrant representing the number of shares with respect to which this Warrant shall not then have been exercised.
4. Cashless Exercise. (a) The Warrantholder may, at its election exercised in its sole discretion, exercise this Warrant and, in lieu of making the cash payment otherwise contemplated to be made to the Company upon such exercise in payment of the Warrant Price for the Warrant Shares specified in the Exercise Agreement, elect instead to receive upon such exercise the Net Number of shares of Common Stock determined according to the following formula (a Cashless Exercise):
2
Net Number = (A x B) - (A x C)
B
For purposes of the foregoing formula:
A = the total number of shares with respect to which this Warrant is then being exercised.
B = the Closing Price of the Common Stock on NASDAQ on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the Exercise Notice.
C = the Warrant Price then in effect for the applicable Warrant Shares at the time of such exercise.
(b) Certain Definitions.
Trading Day shall mean a day on which the principal national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading is open for business.
Closing Price with respect to Common Stock on any day means the reported last sales price regular way on The NASDAQ Global Select Market (NASDAQ), or, if no such reported sale occurs on such day, the average of the closing bid and asked prices regular way on such day, in each case as reported in the principal consolidated transaction reporting system with respect to securities listed on the principal national securities exchange on which such class of security is listed or admitted to trading as reported by NASDAQ or any comparable system then in use or, if not so reported, as reported by any New York Stock Exchange member firm reasonably selected by the Company for such purpose.
5. Compliance with the Securities Act. Neither this Warrant nor the Common Stock issued upon exercise hereof nor any other security issued or issuable upon exercise of this Warrant may be offered or sold except as provided in this Warrant and in conformity with the Securities Act, and then only against receipt of an agreement of such person to whom such offer of sale is made to comply with the provisions of this Section 5 with respect to any resale or other disposition of such security. The Company may cause the legend set forth on the first page of this Warrant to be set forth on each Warrant or similar legend on the Warrant Shares or any other security issued or issuable upon exercise of this Warrant until the Warrant Shares have been registered for resale, unless counsel for the Company is of the opinion as to any such security that such legend is unnecessary.
6. Payment of Taxes. The Company will pay any documentary stamp taxes attributable to the initial issuance of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Warrant; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax or taxes which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance or delivery of any certificates for Warrant Shares in a name other than that of the registered holder of this Warrant in respect of which such shares are issued. The holder shall be responsible for income taxes due under federal or state law, if any such tax is due.
3
7. Mutilated or Missing Warrants. In case this Warrant shall be mutilated, lost, stolen, or destroyed, the Company shall issue in exchange and substitution of and upon cancellation of the mutilated Warrant, or in lieu of and substitution for the Warrant lost, stolen or destroyed, a new Warrant of like tenor and for the purchase of a like number of Warrant Shares, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction of the Warrant, and with respect to a lost, stolen or destroyed Warrant, reasonable indemnity or bond with respect thereto, if reasonably requested by the Company.
8. Insufficient Authorized Shares. If at any time while this Warrant remains outstanding the Company does not have a sufficient number of authorized and unreserved shares of Common Stock to satisfy its obligation to reserve for issuance upon exercise of this Warrant at least a number of shares of Common Stock equal to (the Required Reserve Amount) the number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be necessary to effect the exercise of all of this Warrant then outstanding (an Authorized Share Failure), then the Company shall, within 90 days after the occurrence of such Authorized Share Failure take action to increase the Companys authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock to an amount sufficient to allow the Company to reserve the Required Reserve Amount for this Warrant then outstanding. The Company shall not be in breach of its obligation to reserve the Required Reserve Amount during such period so long as it is taking good faith efforts to satisfy its obligations under this covenant.
9. Warrant Price. The Warrant Price, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 10 hereof, shall, if payment is made in cash or by certified check, be payable in lawful money of the United States of America.
10. Adjustment of Warrant Exercise Price and Number of Shares. If the Company at any time after the date of issuance of this Warrant 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 Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced and the number of shares of Common Stock obtainable upon exercise of this Warrant will be proportionately increased. If the Company at any time after the date of issuance of this Warrant 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 Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately increased and the number of shares of Common Stock obtainable upon exercise of this Warrant will be proportionately decreased. Any adjustment under this Section 10 shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective.
11. Replacement Warrants. The Company agrees that after any request from time to time of the Warrantholder and within ten (10) business days upon the Companys receipt of this Warrant, the Company shall deliver to such holder a new Warrant in substitution of this Warrant which is identical in all respects except that the then Warrant Price shall be appropriately specified in the Warrant, and the Warrant shall specify the fixed number of Warrant Shares into which this Warrant is then exercisable. Such changes are intended not as amendments to the Warrant but only as clarification of the adjustment in the preceding Section for convenience purposes, and such adjustments shall not affect any provisions concerning adjustments to the Warrant Price or number of Warrant Shares contained herein.
4
12. Fractional Interest. The Company shall not be required to issue fractions of Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the Warrant. If any fraction of a Warrant Share would, except for the provisions of this Section, be issuable upon the exercise of the Warrant (or specified portions thereof), the Company shall round such calculation to the nearest whole number and disregard the fraction.
13. Benefits. Nothing in this Warrant shall be construed to give any person, firm or corporation (other than the Company and the Warrantholder) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim, it being agreed that this Warrant shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the Company and the Warrantholder.
14. Notices to Warrantholder. Upon the happening of any event requiring an adjustment of the Warrant Price, the Company shall forthwith give written notice thereof to the Warrantholder at the address appearing in the records of the Company, stating the adjusted Warrant Price and the adjusted number of Warrant Shares resulting from such event and setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts upon which such calculation is based. In the event of a dispute with respect to any such calculation, the certificate of the Companys independent certified public accountants shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of any computation made, absent manifest error. Failure to give such notice to the Warrantholder or any defect therein shall not affect the legality or validity of the subject adjustment.
15. Identity of Transfer Agent. The Transfer Agent for the Common Stock is Broadridge. Forthwith upon the appointment of any subsequent transfer agent for the Common Stock or other shares of the Companys capital stock issuable upon the exercise of the rights of purchase represented by the Warrant, the Company will fax to the Warrantholder a statement setting forth the name and address of such transfer agent.
16. Notices. Any notice pursuant hereto to be given or made by the Warrantholder to or on the Company shall be sufficiently given or made if delivered personally or by facsimile or if sent by an internationally recognized courier, addressed as follows:
Stereotaxis, Inc.
4320 Forest Park Avenue, Suite 100

Fax: (314) 678-6110
Attention: Chief Financial Officer
or such other address as the Company may specify in writing by notice to the Warrantholder complying as to delivery with the terms of this Section 16.
Any notice pursuant hereto to be given or made by the Company to or on the Warrantholder shall be sufficiently given or made if personally delivered, if sent by facsimile or if sent by an internationally recognized courier service by overnight or two-day service, to the address set
5
forth on the books of the Company or, as to each of the Company and the Warrantholder, at such other address as shall be designated by such party by written notice to the other party complying as to delivery with the terms of this Section 16.
All such notices, requests, demands, directions and other communications shall, when sent by courier, be effective two (2) days after delivery to such courier as provided and addressed as aforesaid. All faxes shall be effective upon receipt.
17. Registration Rights. The holder of this Warrant is entitled to the benefit of certain registration rights in respect of the Warrant Shares as provided in the Purchase Agreement.
18. Successors. Subject to the restrictions on transfer described in Section 21 below, all the covenants and provisions hereof by or for the benefit of the Warrantholder shall bind and inure to the benefit of its respective successors and assigns hereunder.
19. Governing Law. This Warrant shall be deemed to be a contract made under the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to its conflict of law principles, and for all purposes shall be construed in accordance with the laws of said State.
20. Absolute Obligation to Issue Warrant Shares. The Companys obligations to issue and deliver Warrant Shares in accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by the holder hereof to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any person or entity or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the holder hereof or any other Person of any obligation to the Company or any violation or alleged violation of law by the holder or any other Person, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Company to the holder hereof in connection with the issuance of Warrant Shares. The Company will at no time close its shareholder books or records in any manner which interferes with the timely exercise of this Warrant.
21. Assignment, etc. The Warrantholder agrees that in no event will it make a transfer or disposition of any of this Warrant or the Warrant Shares (other than pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act), unless and until (i) it shall have notified the Company of the proposed disposition and shall have furnished the Company with a statement of the circumstances surrounding the disposition and assurance that the proposed disposition is in compliance with all applicable laws, and (ii) if reasonably requested by the Company, at the expense of such Warrantholder or its transferee, it shall have furnished to the Company an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such transfer may be made without registration under the Securities Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no formal notice or opinion of counsel shall be required for the transfer by an Warrantholder to any of the following (each, a Permitted Transferee): (x) any partner of a Warrantholder or to a retired partner of a Warrantholder, who retires after the date of this Warrant, (y) the estate of any such partner or a retired partner or for the transfer by gift, will or intestate succession of any partner to his spouse or lineal descendants or ancestors or (z) any
6
entity which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Warrantholder or which is under common control with the Warrantholder; provided, however, in all cases where no legal opinion is required that the transferee shall agree in writing to be subject to the terms of this Warrant to the same extent as if it were the original Warrantholder hereunder.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Common Stock Purchase Warrant to be duly executed as of the date first written above.
