 EXHIBIT 10.6 

AMENDED AND RESTATED EXECUTIVE EMPLOYMENT
AGREEMENT 
 This Amended and Restated Executive Employment Agreement (this “Agreement”) is entered into as of
this                     day of             , 2013, by and between Stereotaxis, Inc, a
Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and                             (“Employee”). This
Agreement amends and restates in its entirety             . 

WHEREAS, Employee desires to continue in the employment of the Company, and the Company desires to continue to employ Employee, subject to
the terms and conditions herein; 
 WHEREAS, the Company considers the establishment and maintenance of a sound and vital
management to be essential to protecting and enhancing the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. In this connection, the Company recognizes that, as is the case with many publicly held corporations, the possibility of a change of
control exists and that such possibility, and the uncertainty and questions that it may raise among management, could result in the departure or distraction of key management personnel to the detriment of the Company and its stockholders.
Accordingly, the Company’s Board of Directors has determined that appropriate steps should be taken to reinforce and encourage the continued attention and dedication of members of the Company’s management, including the Employee, to their
assigned duties without distraction and disruption in the event of a threatened or actual Change of Control; and 
 WHEREAS, this
Agreement does not constitute an employment contract, nor does it alter the Employee’s status as an at-will employee of the Company. This Agreement merely sets out the severance benefits that the Company will provide if, but only if, the
Employee’s separation from service with the Company is without Cause or in connection with the occurrence of an actual Change of Control under the circumstances described herein.

	 	iii)	material neglect of duties (other than due to Disability) which, if curable, is not cured by the Employee, provided however, the Employee shall receive a reasonable

consolidated corporation’s then-outstanding voting securities, or of a liquidation or dissolution of the Company or of the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company. 


Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Change of Control shall not be deemed to have occurred with respect to any benefit that (i) provides

before the Change of Control; 

 provided, however, that (i) any separation from service by the Employee shall

	4)	Employment Services; Employee Handbook and Company Policies. Employee agrees that throughout the term of Employee’s employment, as a condition of
Employee’s employment, Employee shall (a) diligently, in good faith and to the best of Employee’s abilities render such services as may be delegated to the Employee by the Company; and (b) follow and act in accordance with all of
Company’s rules, policies and procedures of Company, including, but not limited to this Agreement, the Company rules and policies, and the Employee Handbook, any of which may be revised from time to time at the sole discretion of the Company,
with or without prior notice. 

  

	5)	At-Will Employment. The Company is an “at-will” employer. This means that the Company or the Employee may terminate Employee’s employment at any
time, for any reason or for no reason and/or with or without cause. Company makes no promise that Employee’s employment will continue for a set period of time, nor is there any promise that it will be terminated only under particular
circumstances. No raise or bonus or discussion of possible or potential future benefits, if any, or changes to Employee’s capacity, reporting, or compensation shall alter Employee’s status as an “at-will” employee or create any
implied or express contract or promise of continued employment. No manager, supervisor or officer of Company has the authority to change Employee’s status as an “at-will” employee.

exclusive property of Company, and Company shall own any and all right, title and interest to such Inventions and Developments. Employee assigns and agrees to assign to Company any and all right, title and interest in and to any such Inventions and
Developments whenever requested to do so by Company, at Company’s expense, and Employee agrees to execute any and all applications, assignments or other instruments which Company deems desirable or necessary to protect such interests, both
during and after the term of Employment. 

  

	 	b)	By way of clarification, Section 6(a) shall not apply to any invention for which no equipment, supplies, facilities or Confidential and Trade Secret Information of
Company was used and which was developed entirely on Employee’s own time, unless (i) the invention relates to Stereotaxis Business or to Company’s actual or demonstrably-anticipated research or development; or (ii) the invention
results from any work performed by Employee for Company.

any manner other than by a breach of this Agreement by the Employee. 


  
 4 









	8)	Company Materials. All notes, records, correspondence, data, hardware, software, documents or the like obtained by or provided to the Company regarding
Stereotaxis Business, or otherwise made, produced, or compiled during the course or as a result of employment with the Company which contain Confidential Information, regardless of the type of medium in which such is preserved, (“Company
Materials”), are the sole and exclusive property of the Company, and shall be surrendered to the Company on request or upon Employee’s termination for any reason. During Employee’s employment, Employee will not copy, reproduce or
otherwise duplicate, record, abstract, summarize or otherwise use, any Company Materials except as expressly permitted or required for the proper performance of Employee’s duties on behalf of the Company. 


 

	9)	Attention to Duties; Conflict of Interest.  

  

	 	a)	Employee represents that the execution and delivery of the Agreement and Employee’s employment with Company do not violate any previous employment agreement or
other contractual obligation of Employee, and there are no outstanding commitments or agreements inconsistent with any of the terms of this Agreement or the services to be rendered to Company. 


 

	 	b)	While employed by the Company, Employee shall devote Employee’s full business time, energy and abilities exclusively to the business and interests of the Company
and shall not, without the Company’s prior written consent, obtain any direct or indirect interests in or relationships with any organization that might affect the objectivity and independence of the Employee’s judgment or conduct in
carrying out duties and responsibilities to the Company under this Agreement or that would interfere with the performance of Employee’s duties under this Agreement. However, nothing herein shall preclude Employee from pursuing Employee’s
personal, financial and legal affairs, or, subject to the prior written consent of the Company, (i) serving on any corporate or governmental board of directors, (ii) serving on the board of, or working for, any charitable, not-for-profit
or community organization, or (iii) pursuing any other activity; provided that Employee shall not engage in any other business, profession, occupation or other activity, for compensation or otherwise, which would violate the provisions of this
Agreement or would otherwise conflict or interfere with the performance of Employee’s duties and responsibilities hereunder, either directly or indirectly. 


 

	 	c)	If in the course of Employee’s employment, Employee becomes aware of any obligations or commitments under Section 9(a) or any real or apparent conflicts of
commitment or conflicts of interest, Employee shall immediately disclose them to Employee’s supervisor. 

  

	10)	Non-Competition, Non-solicitation. Employee agrees that during the Restricted Period, and regardless of how Employee’s termination occurs and regardless of
whether it is with or without Cause, Employee shall not, directly or indirectly (whether individually or as owner, partner, consultant, employee or otherwise): 


 

	 	a)	engage in, assist or have an interest in, enter the employment of, or act as an agent, advisor or consultant for, any person or entity that then is or intends to be in
competition with the Company with respect to Stereotaxis Business. A person or entity will be deemed “in competition” if it is involved in research, development, manufacture, supplying or sale of a product, process, apparatus, service or
development which is competitive with a product, process, apparatus, service or development on which Employee worked, or with respect to which Employee has or had access to Confidential Information during the Employee’s employment.


  

	 	b)	solicit, divert, or take away, or attempt to solicit, divert or take away from the Company the business of any customers for the purpose of selling or providing to such
customer any product or service which is included in the Stereotaxis Business as defined herein; 


  
 5 









	 	c)	knowingly to cause or attempt to cause any customer, vendor, or other third party collaborating with the Company to terminate or reduce its existing relationship with
the Company; or 

  

	 	d)	knowingly solicit, induce, or hire, or attempt to solicit, induce, or hire, any employee, consultant, or distributor of the Company to leave the employ of the Company
and/or to work for any competitor of the Company. 

  

	11)	Notification; Non-disparagement. Employee shall notify any prospective employer of the existence and terms of this Agreement, prior to acceptance of employment
outside of the Company. Company may inform any person or entity subsequently employing, or evidencing an intention to employ Employee of the nature of the information Company asserts to be Confidential Information, and may inform that person or
entity of the existence of this Agreement, the terms hereof, and provide to that person or entity a copy of these terms and conditions. Neither party shall in any way disparage the other, including current or former officers, directors and employees
of the Company, and neither party shall make or solicit any comments, statements or the like to the media or to others, including their agents or representatives, that may be considered to be derogatory or detrimental to the good name or business
reputation of the other party. 

  

	12)	Acknowledgments Regarding Restrictions. Employee acknowledges, understands, and agrees that: 


 

	 	a)	The provisions relating to confidentiality, conflicts of interest, non-competition, and their post-employment continuation are material consideration for the
compensation and other benefits of Employee’s employment by Company, and without Employee’s agreement to these provisions and restrictions, Employee would not be employed by the Company. 


 

	 	b)	Employee agrees that the covenants relating to non-competition, non-solicitation, and disparagement in this Agreement are appropriate and fair and necessary to avoid
conflicts of interest and commitment and to protect the Company’s legitimate interests in its Confidential Information, goodwill, and relationships. 

  

	 	c)	The restrictions contained herein are not limited geographically in view of Company’s worldwide operations and the nature of the Confidential Information,
customers and/or other business relationships to which Employee will have access. These restrictions may preclude, for a time, Employee’s employment with competitors of Company. Company agrees, however, that if it is commercially reasonable,
after the Employee’s employment and within the Restricted Period it may provide written permission for Employee to provide services to or be employed by firms that are engaged in Stereotaxis Business, so long as such services or employment are
provided to divisions, departments, or affiliates that are not engaged in Stereotaxis Business within those firms. Such permission shall not be deemed to waive or diminish the prohibitions on disclosure or use of Confidential Information or the
covenants of non-competition in this Agreement. 

  

	 	d)	None of these restrictions is intended to prevent the Employee from owning up to one percent (1%) of the publicly traded stock of any company during the Restricted
Period. 

  

	 	e)	In the event of a breach or threatened breach of any of Employee’s duties and obligations under Sections 7 to 11, Company shall be entitled, in addition to any
other legal or equitable remedies (including any right to damages), to temporary, preliminary and permanent injunctive relief restraining such breach or threatened breach. Employee expressly acknowledges that the harm that might result to
Company’s business as a result of any noncompliance by Employee with any of the provisions of these Sections would be largely irreparable, and specifically agrees that if there is a question as to the enforceability of any of the provisions of
these Sections, Employee will not engage in conduct alleged to be inconsistent with or contrary to such Sections before the question has been resolved by a final judgment of an arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction. 



  
 6 









	 	f)	To ensure Employee’s understanding of and compliance with the obligations under this Agreement, Employee agrees to engage in an exit interview with the Company at
the Company’s expense prior to Employee’s last day of employment, at a time and place or by telephone, as designated by the Company, and that Employee may be required to confirm that Employee will comply with Employee’s post
termination obligations. 

  

	13)	Non-Waiver of Rights. Company’s failure at any time to enforce or require performance by Employee of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall in no way
be construed to be a waiver of such provisions or to affect either the validity of this Agreement, or any part hereof, or the right of Company thereafter to enforce each and every provision in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.


  

	14)	Employee’s Separation from Service Without Cause.  

  

	 	a)	Subject to provisions of Sections 16 and 19 hereof, in the event of the Employee’s separation from service without Cause, for a period of twelve (12) months
following the date of the Employee’s separation from service, the Company shall pay to Employee an amount equal to Employee’s annualized base salary in effect immediately prior to the date of the separation from service without Cause.
Salary continuation payments under this Section 14 shall be made in accordance with the Company’s regular payroll schedule in effect on the date of Employee’s separation from service. Any salary continuation payable under this
Section 14 will be offset by the amount of any compensation Employee receives during the Severance Period from the Company or another employer or as an independent contractor. 


 

	 	b)	If the Employee elects to continue his/her medical and dental benefits under the Consolidated Omnibus Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended (“COBRA”), the
Employee shall pay the same amount for such coverage as if he/she had remained employed by the Company with such amounts deducted from the severance payable under subsection (a) above and the Company shall pay the remaining portion of the
required monthly COBRA premium for up to the first twelve months following the Employee’s separation from service or if earlier, the date the Employee becomes eligible for comparable benefits from another employer. 


 

	 	c)	The Company shall maintain in full force and effect, for one year following Employee’s separation from service, for the continued benefit of the Employee (and
his/her spouse and dependents, if applicable), all life insurance, accident, and disability plans and programs in which the Employee was entitled to participate immediately before the occurrence of the event(s) giving rise to his/her separation,
provided that the continued participation is possible under the general terms and provisions of such plans and programs. If the continued participation in any such plan or program is barred, the Company shall arrange to provide the Employee, upon
comparable terms, with benefits substantially similar to the benefits to which the Employee would have otherwise been entitled under such plans and programs. Employee’s receipt, from a new employer, of any of the benefits described in this
subsection shall not eliminate the Company’s obligations to provide the Employee with such benefits (or their equivalent), but shall act as an offset to the Company’s obligations hereunder. 


 

	15)	Separation from Service In Connection with a Change of Control. 

  

	 	a)	The Employee shall be entitled to benefits under this Section, rather than under any other severance program of the Company, including amounts described in
Section 14 above, if he/she incurs a separation from service under the circumstances described in this Section 15. 

  

	 	b)	Subject to Sections 16, 17 and 19 herein, if the Company effects the Employee’s separation from service without Cause during the period commencing six
(6) months prior to a Change of Control and ending two (2) years after a Change of Control, or if the Employee separates from service for Good Reason within two years after the occurrence of a Change of Control, then the Company shall pay
to the Employee (without regard to the provisions of any benefit plan) within thirty (30) days following the Employee’s separation from service date, the sum of the following amounts: 


  
 7 









	 	i)	any accrued and owing portion of the Employee’s full base salary through the date of separation at a rate equal to the greater of the rate in effect immediately
before the Employee’s separation or the rate in effect immediately before the Change of Control; plus an amount equal to unpaid salary with respect to any vacation days accrued but not taken as of the date of separation;


  

	 	ii)	an amount equal to the Employee’s annual base salary at a rate equal to the greater of: the rate in effect immediately before the Employee’s separation or the
rate in effect immediately before the Change of Control; and 

  

	 	iii)	in lieu of further payments not otherwise addressed by this Agreement under any long term incentive, bonus or compensation plan of the Company or any subsidiary thereof
or any successor plan, an amount equal to all awards earned or accrued thereunder, but not yet paid, for periods up to and including the date of separation. 


 

	 	c)	Subject to Section 16 herein, the Employee shall be entitled to the following benefits in addition to the severance amounts payable pursuant to subsection
(b) above: 

  

	 	i)	the Company shall maintain in full force and effect, for one year following Employee’s separation from service, for the continued benefit of the Employee (and
his/her spouse and dependents, if applicable), all life insurance, accident, and disability plans and programs in which the Employee was entitled to participate immediately before the occurrence of the event(s) giving rise to his/her separation,
provided that the continued participation is possible under the general terms and provisions of such plans and programs. In addition, the Company will pay the cost for the Employee (and his/her spouse and dependents, if applicable) to continue group
health coverage under the Company’s plan pursuant to COBRA for up to one year following Employee’s separation from service. If the continued participation in any such plan or program is barred, the Company shall arrange to provide the
Employee, upon comparable terms, with benefits substantially similar to the benefits to which the Employee would have otherwise been entitled under such plans and programs. Employee’s receipt, from a new employer, of any of the benefits
described in this subsection shall not eliminate the Company’s obligations to provide the Employee with such benefits (or their equivalent), but shall act as an offset to the Company’s obligations hereunder. 


 

	 	ii)	all awards to the Employee under any Company stock plan shall vest upon the Change of Control. This section supersedes any inconsistent provisions in any stock plan or
award issued thereunder, and constitutes an amendment to any such award that has been approved by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company as provided under any stock plan (provided, however, that notwithstanding any
agreement elsewhere to the contrary, the period of time in which the Employee may exercise vested stock awards shall end on the date on which the right to exercise such award would have expired if the Employee had remained an employee of the
Company); 

  

	 	iii)	the Company shall pay all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including reasonable legal fees and legal expenses, incurred by the Employee in connection with any
judicial or other proceeding, including any arbitration proceeding, to enforce this Agreement or to construe, determine, or defend the validity of this Agreement. 


 

	16)	Conditions. The continuation of any salary and benefits under Sections 14 and 15 (other than subsection 15(b)(i)) is conditioned on Employee’s
(a) compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including any post-termination restrictions and covenants, and (b) execution of a release of any and all claims against the Company and its officers, directors, and employees
arising from or related to the Employee’s employment. The release required pursuant to subsection (b) above shall be substantially similar with respect to all material terms and conditions to the form attached hereto as Attachment A, and
must be executed and returned to the Company within forty five (45) days after the Employee’s separation from service to avoid forfeiture by Employee of the amounts payable under 14 or 15 above. In the event the prescribed 45-day period
extends in to a new calendar year, the benefits under Section 14 or 15 shall be paid in the second calendar year. 


  
 8 









	17)	Code Section 280G. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, if Employee is a “disqualified individual” for purposes of application of
Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the regulations and other guidance promulgated thereunder (“Code Section 280G), then to the extent that the aggregate severance benefits payable under this Agreement
and any other compensation payable to Employee constitute a “parachute payment” within the meaning of Code Section 280G, the amount of the aggregate benefits to which Employee is entitled shall be limited to (a) or (b), whichever
yields the greatest after-tax benefit, where (a) refers to such aggregate amounts payable without regard to this Section 17, and (b) refers to such aggregate amounts reduced to the minimum extent necessary to avoid triggering tax
under Code Section 4999. Any such reductions under this Section 17(b) shall be made first from the severance benefits that are not deferred compensation subject to regulation under Code Section 409A. 


 

	18)	General Code Section 409A Compliance. It is intended that this Agreement shall comply with the provisions of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986, as amended, and the regulations and other guidance promulgated thereunder (“Code Section 409A”), or be exempt from the application of Code Section 409A. For purposes of Code Section 409A, the right to a
series of installment payments hereunder shall be treated as a right to a series of separate payments. In no event may Executive, directly or indirectly, designate the calendar year of any payment under this Agreement. 


 

	19)	Specified Employee Six Month Deferral. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, to the extent any amounts payable under Sections 14 or 15 on
account of a separation of service are classified as nonqualified deferred compensation subject to the requirements under Internal Revenue Code Section 409A and the regulations thereunder, payment of such amounts shall be deferred until six
(6) months after the date of the Employee’s separation from service if necessary for the Employee to avoid adverse tax consequences under Code Section 409A. Payment of any such nonqualified deferred compensation otherwise due during
the first six months following the Employee’s separation from service shall be suspended and become payable in a lump sum at the end of such six (6) month period, and shall not otherwise be subject to any offset or reduction pursuant to
Section 17 above solely because of said deferral. 

  

	20)	Taxable Reimbursements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, all taxable reimbursements provided under this Agreement that are subject to
Code Section 409A shall be made in accordance with the requirements of Code Section 409A. The amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement during a calendar year may not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement in any other calendar
year. Reimbursement of an eligible expense shall be made in accordance with the Company’s policies and practices and as otherwise provided herein, provided, that, in no event shall reimbursement be made after the last day of the year following
the year in which the expense was incurred. The right to reimbursement is not subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit. 

  

	21)	No Obligation to Mitigate. The Employee shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment or benefits provided for in Section 14 or 15 by seeking
other employment or otherwise. The amount of any payment or benefits provided for in Section 15 shall not be reduced by any payments or benefits received by the Employee as the result of employment by another employer after the date of
separation, or otherwise; provided, however, that the amount payable under Section 14 or 15 shall be reduced by the amount of any severance, termination, or notice pay (or any other similar amounts) required by law to be paid to the Employee
during any notice period that the Company or its subsidiaries is required by law to provide. 

  

	22)	Binding Arbitration. Except in the case of a separation of Employee’s service by the Company or by Employee for Good Reason following a Change of Control:



  
 9 









	 	a)	Any dispute, claim or controversy with respect to Employee’s employment or its termination (whether the termination of employment is voluntary or involuntary)
shall be settled exclusively (except as set out in Section 12(e) above) by arbitration in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”). Either party may request arbitration in writing after good faith
efforts to resolve the matter internally, and the parties shall select an arbitrator under the AAA rules. Employee and Company each waive their constitutional rights to have such matters determined by a jury, explicitly and definitely prefer
arbitration to recourse to the courts, and have prescribed arbitration as their sole and exclusive method of binding dispute resolution because, among other reasons, it is quicker, less expensive, and less formal than litigation in court.


  

	 	b)	Except as set out in Section 24 below, the arbitrator shall not have the authority to modify, add to or eliminate any provision of this Agreement. The arbitration
shall be held in St. Louis, Missouri. The award of the arbitrator shall be final and binding on the parties. Judgment upon the arbitrator’s award may be entered in any court, state or federal, having jurisdiction over the parties. If a written
request for arbitration is not made within one (1) year of the date of the termination of employment or separation from service or, in the case of disputes not resolved internally, the date of the final decision reached by the Human Resources
Department, all remedies regarding such dispute, claim or controversy shall be waived. 

  

	23)	Choice of Forum and Governing Law. Employee acknowledges and agrees that substantial and material aspects of the employment under this Agreement take place in
St. Louis, Missouri and that the important decisions, training, planning and activities hereunder are focused in St. Louis, Missouri. In light of Company’s substantial contacts with the State of Missouri, the parties’ interests in ensuring
that disputes regarding the interpretation, validity and enforceability of this Agreement are resolved on a uniform basis, and Company’s execution of, and the making of this Agreement in Missouri, the parties agree that: (a) any litigation
involving any noncompliance with or breach of the Agreement, or regarding the interpretation, validity and/or enforceability of the Agreement, shall be filed and conducted exclusively in the state or federal courts in St. Louis County, Missouri; and
(b) the Agreement shall be interpreted in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Missouri. 

  

	24)	Severability. If any provision(s) of this Agreement are or become invalid, are ruled illegal or are deemed unenforceable by any tribunal of competent
jurisdiction, it shall be modified and enforced to the maximum extent permissible under applicable law. It is the intention of the parties that the remainder of this Agreement shall not be affected, provided that a party’s rights under this
Agreement are not materially affected, in which case the parties covenant and agree to revise any such provision or the Agreement in good faith in order to provide a term, covenant, condition or application of this Agreement that most closely
complies with the intent of the parties under the Agreement as originally executed. 

  

	25)	Assignment. The Company may assign this Agreement and Employee’s employment to any entity to which the operations it currently manages are transferred,
whether through reorganization, merger, sale or any other transfer. As a contract for personal services, neither this Agreement nor any rights hereunder shall be assigned by Employee. 


 

	26)	Construction. The parties to this Agreement represent and acknowledge that in executing this Agreement they do not rely and have not relied upon any
representation or statement made by the other party or the other party’s agents, attorneys or representatives regarding the subject matter, basis, or effect of this Agreement or otherwise, other than those specifically stated in this written
Agreement. This Agreement shall be interpreted in accordance with the plain meaning of its terms and not strictly for or against any party. This Agreement shall be construed as if each party was its author and each party hereby adopts the language
of this Agreement as if it were his/her or its own. Section headings are provided in this Agreement for convenience only and shall not be deemed to substantively affect the content of such sections. In addition, in light of the post-employment
compensation to be paid to Employee under Section 14 of this Agreement if Employee is terminated without Cause, Employee acknowledges and agrees that Employee’s post-employment obligations under Section 10 are reasonable and should be
fully enforceable regardless of why or how his/her employment may end, and regardless of the reason(s) why and/or whether or not such termination of employment is with or without Cause.

	27)	Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including any Exhibits attached hereto, sets forth all the covenants, promises, agreements, representations, conditions and
understandings between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes and terminates all prior agreements and understandings between the parties. There are no covenants, promises, agreements, representations, conditions
or understandings, either oral or written, between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof other than as set forth herein and therein. No amendment, change or addition to this Agreement shall be binding upon the parties unless reduced
to writing and signed by the Employee and an authorized representative of the Company. This Agreement cannot be changed orally or by any conduct of either Employee or the Company or any course of dealings between Employee, or another person and the
Company.
