Stereotaxis may conduct a First Article validation on any subassembly or component at any time. 5. PAYMENT 5.1 DEPOSITS In recognition of the complexity of the Items to be produced and the long lead-times associated with production of Items, Stereotaxis agrees that certain deposits shall be made upon placement of Purchase Orders and upon completion of certain milestones. Such deposits and their application to invoices are detailed in Attachment 2. 5.2 INVOICES All invoices must be sent directly to Stereotaxis' Accounts Payable Department. Invoices shall contain the following information: Purchase Order number, Item number, description, sizes, quantities, unit prices, and extended totals in addition to tax amounts and any other information requested. Stereotaxis' payment of an invoice or other account does not in itself represent unconditional acceptance of Items and Stereotaxis may revoke acceptance at any time until final inspection and acceptance of Items. All payments made prior to receipt, inspection, and final acceptance by Stereotaxis will be subject to adjustment for errors, shortages, non-conformities or defects. Stereotaxis shall not be required to elect among its remedies, including revocation of acceptance and remedies for breach of warranty or non-conformity. 5.3 PAYMENT TERMS Payment will be made net forty-five (45) days from receipt of invoice, in form and substance acceptable to Stereotaxis. Supplier shall generate invoices upon evidence being sent to Stereotaxis of satisfactory completion of Acceptance Test Procedure on Items.

Supplier will provide Stereotaxis with the required bank routing coordinates and other information that may be required by Stereotaxis to establish electronic funds transfer capability. All payments will be made in United States currency. Supplier shall quote all prices in US dollars; prices for foreign manufactured Items will not be adjusted to reflect changes in the exchange rate. Page 5 5.5 EFFECT OF PAYMENT The time and method of payment shall not alter the time at which title to Items passes to Stereotaxis nor shall it preclude revocation of acceptance as permitted by law. As to Items that are non-conforming, Stereotaxis may revoke acceptance, recover and offset or adjust payments in respect of such Items, and return same to Supplier, in which case title shall revert to Supplier, or Stereotaxis may enforce any of its other remedies for non-conforming Items, including warranty remedies. 6. PRICING FRAMEWORK Attachment 1 contains Contract Prices for all Items. Any remaining balance of undelivered Items on open Purchase Orders as of the date of this Agreement will not become subject to the Contract Prices on the Effective Date of this Agreement.

The Supplier shall not implement any changes (and Supplier shall not ship any Items with any such changes) until written permission to proceed is given by Stereotaxis' authorized purchasing representative and the Purchase Order is modified accordingly. 7.2 TOOLING Any tooling which is built or procured by Supplier and which is unique to the Items and/or relevant to the manufacture, testing, maintenance, repair or troubleshooting of Items and has not previously been charged to Stereotaxis will, upon Stereotaxis' request, be sold to Stereotaxis by Supplier at [***]. Supplier agrees to provide a separate line Item quote for tooling. Stereotaxis will, upon its agreement to a quote for tooling, pay for the tooling cost separately. Title to any non-unique tooling shall remain with Supplier, unless required to allow production continuation as described in Section 2. Supplier shall not at any time use the tools (including test fixtures) furnished by or purchased from or by Stereotaxis ("Stereotaxis tooling") for the production of goods for persons other than Stereotaxis or in any manner other than in performance of this Agreement without Stereotaxis' written approval. Supplier will use commercially reasonable best efforts to maintain the Stereotaxis tooling in good condition and repair and to provide all necessary calibration services for the Stereotaxis tooling. Stereotaxis and Supplier agree to execute a tooling loan agreement as set out in Attachment 3 for any Stereotaxis tooling in Supplier's possession. Supplier will be responsible for obtaining the requisite insurance coverage and conducting appropriate inspections for such loaned tooling. 7.3 DESIGN CHANGES For the term of this Agreement, Supplier will not make changes to the design of any Item that may alter the Specifications, form, fit, function or manufacturing process of such Items, without first submitting a detailed written description of proposed changes to Stereotaxis' authorized representative. Supplier may make such authorized design changes only upon obtaining prior written approval from Stereotaxis' authorized purchasing representative and modification of Purchase Orders relating to the Item in question. If Stereotaxis' design changes affect the pricing, delivery, lead-time, or other terms and conditions of this Agreement and the parties cannot agree upon alternate terms, then Stereotaxis may remove the affected Items from this Agreement without affecting the remaining Items. 7.4 PROCESS CHANGES Supplier agrees to inform Stereotaxis of any process or sub-tier supplier changes to Items, including without limitation any changes in the manufacturing process of a sub-tier supplier, even when Specifications are being met. Supplier must receive approval in writing from Stereotaxis before implementing such changes. 7.5 SUPPLIER'S SUBCONTRACTS Supplier shall not subcontract for components, processes or completed or substantially completed Items supplied to Stereotaxis without prior written approval from Stereotaxis. Supplier will ensure that all sub-tier suppliers of Supplier who have access (directly or indirectly) to Stereotaxis' specifications or internal Stereotaxis data or other Confidential Information will sign and be governed by an Non-Disclosure Statement (NDA) that is similar in form and substance to Stereotaxis' NDA with Supplier. Approval by Stereotaxis of a subcontractor selected by Supplier shall not alter Supplier's obligations to Stereotaxis. [*** Indicates portions of this exhibit that have been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to a request for confidential treatment.] Page 7 7.6 FIRST ARTICLE AND SOURCE INSPECTIONS First Article and Source Inspections shall be conducted in compliance with the quality provisions of this Agreement (Section 4). 7.7 PRODUCT SUPPORT Supplier agrees to maintain capability to provide Items and technical and service support to Stereotaxis for all of the Items for a minimum of five (5) years from the date of final shipment of an Item to Stereotaxis. Alternatively, the parties may agree to establish a product support period of less than five (5) years, provided that Supplier agrees to sell to Stereotaxis as part of such alternative a non-exclusive, irrevocable, royalty free, worldwide and transferable license of intellectual property to make, or have made the Items, in a form and on terms acceptable to Stereotaxis. 8. NONCONFORMANCE 8.1 SUPPLIER NON-CONFORMANCE AND CORRECTIVE ACTION All Items are warranted to meet all applicable Stereotaxis Specifications as stated in this Agreement (including all Attachments, technical Specifications and manufacturing work instructions). Supplier will replace or repair defective Items at Supplier's expense within the time period necessary to meet Stereotaxis' production requirements. Supplier is required to use the most expeditious manner possible to effect the corrections; at Stereotaxis' request, in certain circumstances, Suppliers may be asked to provide new Items in lieu of repairing a part to ensure immediate corrective action or credit for the failed part. Stereotaxis will notify Supplier of defects and obtain a Return Material Authorization number from the Supplier. Stereotaxis will then return the Item to the Supplier together with a discrepant material report ("DMR"). Supplier will promptly respond as appropriate to meet the production or repair requirements of Stereotaxis. A corrective action process to resolve nonconformance will be documented and used by the parties. In addition, Supplier will participate in continuous improvement plans and programs as defined by Stereotaxis and Supplier. Should any Item fail to conform to the Specifications established in this Agreement, in addition to any other remedies in this Agreement, Stereotaxis may purchase products comparable to the items or substitutes for Items in the open market or from other suppliers as necessary to meet its requirements. 8.2 STEREOTAXIS NON-CONFORMANCE AND CORRECTIVE ACTION Stereotaxis will, at its option, return at its expense Items that do not conform to Stereotaxis' requirements due to Stereotaxis' errors. These Items will be returned to Supplier for repair or potential rework. Stereotaxis and Supplier will agree in advance of repairs on "standard" repair costs (labor, Items and freight) for Items not covered under warranty. Prior to Supplier's return of a repaired Item to Stereotaxis, Supplier will mark such Item with Stereotaxis' part number, and serial number. Stereotaxis shall bear the risk of loss or damage during transit of repaired or reworked Items whether or not the Items meet warranty or other requirements. 8.3 WARRANTY Supplier warrants (a) that, for a period of 12 months from delivery to Stereotaxis, all Items delivered to Stereotaxis (i) will be free from defects in workmanship, material, and manufacture, (ii) will comply with the requirements of this Agreement, and (iii) to the extent design is Supplier's responsibility, will be free from defects in design and (b) that all services will be performed in a competent, professional and workmanlike manner, free from defects and in accordance with the best professional practices in the industry. Supplier further warrants that all Items purchased or repaired will consist of new materials (not used, recycled or of such age as to impair its Page 8 usefulness or safety, except as may be approved in advance by Stereotaxis). These warranties are in addition to all other warranties, whether expressed or implied, and will survive any delivery, inspection, acceptance, or payment by Stereotaxis. If any Items delivered by Supplier do not meet the warranties specified herein or otherwise applicable, Stereotaxis may, at its option, take one or more of the following actions and/or any other action permitted by law or equity: (i) Require Supplier to correct at no cost to Stereotaxis any defective or nonconforming Items by repair or replacement; (ii) Return such defective or nonconforming Item at Supplier's expense to Supplier and recover from Supplier the purchase price thereof; or (iii) Notify the Supplier that Stereotaxis will correct the defective or nonconforming Item itself and charge Supplier with the reasonable cost of such correction. Stereotaxis' approval of Supplier's material or design will relieve Supplier of the warranties established in this agreement. If Stereotaxis waives any drawing or specification requirement for one or more of the Items, it will not constitute a waiver of all requirements for the remaining Items to be delivered unless stated by Stereotaxis in writing. 9. TERMINATION 9.1 TERMINATION BY STEREOTAXIS This Agreement may be terminated by Stereotaxis if: a) Supplier fails to perform its obligations to deliver Items that meet the specifications agreed upon by Stereotaxis and Supplier, and fails to cure such deficiencies within 30 days of Stereotaxis' written notice; b) Supplier fails to perform its obligations to deliver Items within the agreed upon delivery schedule, for reasons that are within its control, and fails to cure such deficiencies within 30 days of Stereotaxis' written notice; or, c) Supplier fails to meet documented market prices received from other potential suppliers that are capable of producing Items, with terms, conditions, and specifications being materially the same as those offered by Supplier. In this case, Stereotaxis will provide Supplier evidence of market pricing, name the potential competition, provide Supplier with evidence of potential supplier's capability to produce Items, and allow Supplier 30 days to study its own cost model in order to respond to such pricing. 9.2 TERMINATION BY SUPPLIER This Agreement may be terminated by Supplier if: a) Stereotaxis fails to make payments as they become due (provided such payments are not subject to bona fide dispute) and fails to cure such breach of this Agreement within 30 days of receipt of written notification by Supplier. By termination the Agreement for this reason, Supplier does not relinquish its rights under law to collect payments as properly due. In this case, Supplier reserves the right to charge a financing charge of 1.5% per month until amounts properly due are collected. 9.3 NOTICE AND PERIOD TO CURE Stereotaxis and Supplier shall each provide the other with notice of any of the termination events described above and provide the other with an opportunity to cure such default within 30 days or within such other time period as the parties may mutually agree.
