Performance Share Unit Award Agreement, dated February 23, 2021, by and between Stereotaxis, Inc. and David L. Fischel

Exhibit 10.1

PERFORMANCE SHARE UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT

Stereotaxis, Inc. (the “Company”) has granted David Leo Fischel (the “Participant”) an award for a target number of 13,000,000 Performance Share Units (the “Target Award”) as of 02/23/2021 (the “Grant Date”). Each Performance Share Unit (“PSU”) represents the right to receive one share of common stock of the Company, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Performance Share Unit Award Agreement (this “Agreement”), as follows. Any capitalized term that is not defined in the body of this Agreement has the meaning assigned to such term in the “Terms and Conditions of Performance Share Unit Grant” attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Terms and Conditions”), which Terms and Conditions are incorporated herein as if fully set forth herein.

I. Vesting Requirements

These PSUs are performance share units, subject to all terms and conditions of this Agreement, including Exhibit A hereto. Each PSU (i) represents the right to receive one share of Common Stock of the Company (each a “Share”, and collectively, the “Shares”) and (ii) shall vest, and such Shares represented by such PSUs shall be issued, upon the satisfaction of both the Market Capitalization Milestones and the Service Vesting Condition as described in more detail below.

As detailed in Table 1 below, the PSUs are divided into ten (10) vesting tranches (each a “Tranche”), with each Tranche representing a portion of the PSUs covering that number of Shares specified next to the applicable Tranche number in Table 1 below. Each Tranche shall vest upon both (a) satisfaction of the Market Capitalization Milestone set forth next to the applicable Tranche in Table 1 below (each, a “Market Capitalization Milestone”) and (b) except as otherwise provided herein, the Participant serving as the Chief Company Executive (“Participant Service”) from the Grant Date through December 31, 2030 (the “Service Vesting Condition”), it being acknowledged and agreed that Participant shall not be deemed to have ceased to provide service in the event of sick leave or any other leave of absence approved by the Board to the extent consistent with Code Section 409A. The Administrator shall determine, approve and certify when each of the Market Capitalization Milestones for the applicable Tranche have been satisfied (each, a “Certification”). Separate Certifications shall occur on separate dates with respect to the achievement of each Market Capitalization Milestone that is required for the vesting of any particular Tranche. Once a Market Capitalization Milestone has been achieved, it is forever deemed achieved for determining the vesting of a Tranche (including any later satisfaction of a Service Vesting Condition). “Chief Company Executive” shall mean the performance of significant services as (a) the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, (b) the Executive Chairman of the Company, or (c) such other mutually agreed upon significant role with the Company.

The Administrator shall, periodically and at such other times upon request of the Participant, assess whether the vesting requirements have been satisfied. The maximum term of the PSUs shall end on December 31, 2030 (the “Expiration Date”), so that absent earlier termination as provided herein, the PSUs shall expire automatically on the Expiration Date without regard to whether any or all of the PSUs vested.

Table 1. Vesting Requirements for Performance-Based PSUs.

II. Determination of Market Capitalization

For purposes of these PSUs, “Market Capitalization” on a particular day (the “Determination Date”) shall be determined in accordance with the following:

1. A trading day refers to a day on which the primary stock exchange or national market system on which the Common Stock trades (e.g., the NYSE American) is open for trading.

2. The Company’s daily market capitalization for a particular trading day is equal to the product of (a) the total number of Outstanding Shares as of the close of such trading day, as reported by the Company’s transfer agent, and (b) the volume-weighted average trading price per Share on such trading day, as reported by Bloomberg L.P. (or such other reliable source selected by the Administrator if Bloomberg L.P. is not reporting a volume-weighted average trading price for that day) (such product, the “Daily Market Capitalization”).

3. The term “Outstanding Shares” as of any Determination Date means (a) all issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock as of such date and (b)all shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any warrants, options, shares of preferred stock, other rights to acquire from the Company or other obligation of the Company to issue shares of Common Stock, in each case outstanding or existing as of such date, including without limitation shares of Common Stock issuable (i) upon conversion of the Company’s outstanding Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share, (ii) upon conversion of the Company’s outstanding Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share, and (iii) pursuant to options or restricted stock units issued under the Company’s employee equity incentive plan(s) or in connection with any hiring, retention, compensation, incentivization, retirement, termination or severance arrangements for employees, officers, directors and consultants of the Company and its Affiliates, whether or not the obligation exists as of the date of this Agreement.

3. The “Market Capitalization” on any given Determination Date is equal to (a) the sum of the Daily Market Capitalization of the Company for each trading day during the 90 calendar day period immediately prior to and including the Determination Date, divided by (b) the number of trading days during such period, provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of a Change in Control, the term Market Capitalization shall have the meaning described in Section IV below.

4. In order for the Market Capitalization Milestone set forth in Table 1 for any particular Tranche above to be met, the Market Capitalization must equal or exceed the value of such applicable Market Capitalization Milestone on any Determination Date.

III. Stockholder Vote; Share Delivery Failure

Stockholder Vote. The Company shall seek stockholder approval of the issuance of Shares pursuant to this Agreement at a minimum at least as frequently as every Annual Meeting of Stockholders until such approval is obtained for all Shares in the Target Award. The Company shall not be obligated to issue Shares underlying such PSUs until the Company’s stockholders have voted to approve the issuance of such Shares, all in accordance with the applicable rules of the NYSE American (or other primary stock exchange or national market system on which the Common Stock trades), notwithstanding any vesting of all or a portion of the PSUs prior to such stockholder approval; provided, however, that if the Company seeks, and the Company’s stockholders approve, the issuance of a portion of the Shares underlying the PSUs hereunder, then such portion that have received such stockholder approval may be issued by the Company at the time and in the manner otherwise set forth herein, subject to all other terms and conditions of this Agreement.

Share Delivery Failure. In the event the Company fails to issue and deliver such Shares when otherwise due hereunder following (i) satisfaction of the applicable vesting conditions therefor and (ii) stockholder approval of the issuance of all or a portion of the Shares underlying the PSUs under the applicable rules of the NYSE American (or other primary stock exchange or national market system on which the Common Stock trades) (a “Share Delivery Failure”), the Company shall deliver to the Participant, at the time that payment in Shares otherwise would be required hereunder, an amount in cash equal to (i) the Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock, where such Fair Market Value is determined on the date of the applicable Payment Event, multiplied by (ii) that number of Shares specified next to the applicable Tranche number in Table 1 for each such Market Capitalization Milestone so achieved, less applicable withholding.

IV. Vesting Determination upon Change in Control of the Company

Notwithstanding Sections I and II above, in the event of a Change in Control, for purposes of determining whether any Tranches vest in connection with any such Change in Control, the Service Vesting Condition shall be disregarded and only the Market Capitalization Milestone(s) (as defined in the paragraph below) shall be required to be met for the vesting of Tranches.

In the event of a Change in Control, the Market Capitalization calculation shall be disregarded and the Market Capitalization shall equal the total amount of consideration paid to all equity holders of the Company, with the amount of shares to be issued pursuant to this Agreement giving effect to such valuation, and, for all valuations above $1 billion (Tranche 1), then partial credit for the next following Tranche shall be allocated pro rata based on the Market Capitalization in such Change in Control. By way of example, if the total equity value to all shareholders of the Company in a Change in Control transaction is $2.30 billion, then immediately prior to the consummation of such Change in Control transaction, Participant shall be entitled to receive a number of Shares equal to (a)(i) 4,000,000 (Tranches 1-3) plus (ii) 600,000 (representing 60% of Tranche 4 because $300 million is 60% of the incremental achievement of Tranche 4 above Tranche 3) less (b) the number of Shares paid on the achievement of any Tranches prior to such Change in Control, if any.

To the extent that any Tranche has not vested as of immediately before the effective time of the Change in Control and otherwise does not vest as a result of the Change in Control as described in this Section IV, such unvested Tranche will be forfeited automatically as of the effective time of the Change in Control and never shall become vested.

V. Milestone Adjustments in the Event of Certain Corporate Transactions

VI. Termination Period

A. Vesting at Termination. If the Participant ceases to be the Chief Company Executive prior to the Expiration Date by (i) death, (ii) Disability, (iii) termination by the Company for Cause or without Cause, or (iv) Participant voluntarily terminating his position as Chief Company Executive (subject, in the case of (iv), to Participant having served a minimum of five years after the date of this Agreement as Chief Company Executive) (a “Qualifying Participant Voluntary Termination”), the Administrator shall promptly assess whether any Market Capitalization Milestones vesting requirements have been satisfied as of any Determination Date on or prior to the date the Participant ceases to be the Chief Company Executive, and provide Certification of the same, effective as of the date the Participant ceases to be the Chief Company Executive. At the time of any such Certification, the remaining Service Vesting Condition for the PSUs represented by the achievement of such tranche shall be waived and such portion of the PSUs shall become fully vested. Except to the extent provided in Section VI.B below, any PSUs not so vested at the time that Participant ceases to be the Chief Company Executive shall be forfeited automatically and never shall become vested (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any PSUs outstanding at the time of Participant voluntarily terminating his position as Chief Company Executive in such manner other than a Qualifying Participant Voluntary Termination)

B. One-Year Tail. In addition to the Vesting at Termination provided for in Section VI.A above, if Participant ceases to be the Chief Company Executive prior to the Expiration Date as a result of the Participant’s death, Disability or termination by the Company of such role without Cause (but not in the case of any other termination, including, not in the case of any termination for Cause or any Qualifying Participant Voluntary Termination), any further portion of these PSUs that has not vested by the date of Participant’s cessation as the Chief Company Executive will remain outstanding for one year following such event (or the Expiration Date, if earlier). The Administrator shall promptly assess whether one or more additional Market Capitalization Milestone vesting requirements have been satisfied as of a Determination Date on or prior to such one-year anniversary date after the Participant ceased to be the Chief Company Executive by reason of death, Disability or termination without Cause (but in no event later than the Expiration Date) solely for purposes of such final Certification. At the time of any such Certification, the remaining Service Vesting Condition for the PSUs represented by the achievement of any such Tranche shall be waived and such portion of the PSUs shall become fully vested. Any such remaining portion of the PSUs that fails to vest upon such final Certification will be forfeited automatically and never shall become vested.

C. Terms and Conditions. Notwithstanding the forgoing, these PSUs may expire other than as provided in this Section VI as provided in Section 2 of the Terms and Conditions.

VII. Time of Payment

Payment of the Participant’s vested PSUs shall be made on the earliest to occur of the following events (each a “Payment Event”): (a) the date that is one year after the Participant’s Separation from Service; (b) the date of a Change in Control; or (c) the Expiration Date. Any PSUs that are not vested at the time of a Payment Event shall be forfeited automatically and never shall become vested or payable.

VIII. DAFNA Capital Management.

The Company acknowledges that Participant is and has been prior to the date of this Agreement, a principal at DAFNA Capital Management. The Participant may continue to serve as an officer or director of DAFNA Capital Management on substantially the same terms as he has since his appointment as acting CEO in February 2017, or otherwise as the Company and the Participant may mutually agree upon, and such service shall not be deemed to materially interfere with the Participant’s performance of his duties as Chief Company Executive.

IX. Acceptance of PSUs

By Participant’s acceptance of this Agreement either electronically through the electronic acceptance procedure established by the Company or through a written acceptance delivered to the Company in a form satisfactory to the Company, Participant agrees that these PSUs are granted under and governed by the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including the Terms and Conditions, attached hereto as Exhibit A, all of which are made a part of this document.

2.1.2. It is intended that, if possible, any adjustments contemplated by this Section 2.1 be made in a manner that satisfies applicable legal, tax (including, without limitation and as applicable in the circumstances, Section 409A of the Code) and accounting (so as not to trigger any charge to earnings with respect to such adjustment) requirements.

2.2. Dissolution or Liquidation. In the event of the proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the Administrator will notify Participant as soon as practicable prior to the effective date of such proposed transaction. To the extent the PSUs or any portion thereof have not been previously vested, the PSUs will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed action.

3. Tax Matters.

3.1. Tax Obligations. Participant acknowledges that, regardless of any action taken by the Company, the ultimate liability for any Tax Obligations is and remains Participant’s responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company. Participant further acknowledges that the Company (A) makes no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax Obligations in connection with any aspect of the PSUs, including, but not limited to, the grant or vesting of the PSUs, the subsequent sale of Shares issued upon such vesting and the receipt of any dividends or other distributions, and (B) does not commit to and is under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the PSUs to reduce or eliminate Participant’s liability for Tax Obligations or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if Participant is subject to Tax Obligations in more than one jurisdiction between the Date of Grant and the date of any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, Participant acknowledges that the Company may be required to withhold or account for Tax Obligations in more than one jurisdiction. If Participant fails to make satisfactory arrangements for the payment of any required Tax Obligations hereunder at the time of the applicable taxable event, Participant acknowledges and agrees that the Company may refuse to issue or deliver the Shares.

3.2. Tax Withholdings. Pursuant to such procedures as the Administrator may specify from time to time, the Company shall withhold the amount required to be withheld for the payment of Tax Obligations. The Administrator, in its sole discretion and pursuant to such procedures as it may specify from time to time, may permit Participant to satisfy such Tax Obligations, in whole or in part (without limitation), if permissible by Applicable Laws, by (i) paying cash, or (ii) selling a sufficient number of such Shares otherwise deliverable to Participant through such means as the Company may determine in its sole discretion (whether through a broker or otherwise) equal to the minimum amount that is necessary to meet the withholding requirement for such Tax Obligations (or such greater amount as Participant may elect if permitted by the Administrator, if such greater amount would not result in adverse financial accounting consequences). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Administrator, in its sole discretion, may accelerate payment of all or a portion of the Participant’s vested PSUs (i) to pay the Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA) tax imposed under Sections 3010, 3121(a) and 3121(v)(2) of the Code (the “FICA Amount”), or (ii) to pay the income tax at source on wages imposed under Section 3401 of the Code or the corresponding withholding provisions of applicable state, local or foreign tax laws as a result of the payment of the FICA Amount and the additional income tax at source on wages attributable to the pyramiding Section 3401 wages and taxes; provided, however, that the total payment under this Section shall not exceed the FICA Amount and the income tax withholding related to the FICA Amount. The Administrator’s determination of whether payment may be accelerated in accordance with this Section shall be made in accordance with Code Section 409A in such manner as to not trigger adverse tax consequences thereunder.

3.3. Code Section 409A. This Agreement is intended to comply with Section 409A of the Code or an exemption thereunder and shall be construed and interpreted in a manner that is consistent with the requirements for avoiding additional taxes or penalties under Section 409A of the Code. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company makes no representations that the payments and benefits provided under this Agreement comply with Section 409A of the Code and in no event shall the Company be liable for all or any portion of any taxes, penalties, interest or other expenses that may be incurred by the Participant on account of non-compliance with Section 409A of the Code. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the Participant is determined to be a specified employee under Code Section 409A as of the date of his Separation from Service, then any payment otherwise required hereunder on account of a Separation from Service shall be delayed (to the extent otherwise due sooner) until the first payroll date of the seventh month following the Participant’s Separation from Service (or, if earlier, upon the date of the Participant’s death) (the “Specified Employee Payment Date”), to the extent required to avoid the adverse tax consequences under Section 409A of the Code. Any payments to which the Participant otherwise would have been entitled hereunder during the period between the Participant’s Separation from Service and the Specified Employee Payment date shall be accumulated and paid in a lump sum payment on the Specified Employee Payment Date.

3.4. Tax Consequences. Participant has reviewed with Participant’s own tax advisors the U.S. federal, state, local and non-U.S. tax consequences of this investment and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. With respect to such matters, Participant relies solely on such advisors and not on any statements or representations of the Company or any of its agents, written or oral. Participant understands that Participant (and not the Company) shall be responsible for Participant’s own Tax Obligations and any other tax-related liabilities that may arise as a result of this investment or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

4. Rights as Stockholder. Neither Participant nor any person claiming under or through Participant will have any of the rights or privileges of a stockholder of the Company in respect of any Shares deliverable hereunder unless and until certificates representing such Shares (which may be in book entry form) will have been issued, recorded on the records of the Company or its transfer agents or registrars, and delivered to Participant (including through electronic delivery to a brokerage account). After such issuance, recordation and delivery, Participant will have all the rights of a stockholder of the Company with respect to voting such Shares and receipt of dividends and distributions on such Shares.

5. No Guarantee of Continued Service. PARTICIPANT ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THE VESTING OF SHARES PURSUANT TO THE VESTING PROVISIONS HEREOF IS EARNED ONLY BY (AMONG OTHER THINGS) CONTINUING AS THE CHIEF COMPANY EXECUTIVE AT THE WILL OF THE COMPANY AND NOT THROUGH THE ACT OF BEING HIRED, BEING GRANTED THE PSUs OR ACQUIRING SHARES HEREUNDER. PARTICIPANT FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THIS AGREEMENT, THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREUNDER AND THE VESTING PROVISIONS SET FORTH HEREIN DO NOT CONSTITUTE AN EXPRESS OR IMPLIED PROMISE OF CONTINUED ENGAGEMENT AS THE CHIEF COMPANY EXECUTIVE FOR ANY PERIOD, OR AT ALL, AND WILL NOT INTERFERE IN ANY WAY WITH PARTICIPANT’S RIGHT OR THE RIGHT OF THE COMPANY (OR THE PARENT OR SUBSIDIARY EMPLOYING OR RETAINING PARTICIPANT) TO TERMINATE PARTICIPANT’S RELATIONSHIP AS THE CHIEF COMPANY EXECUTIVE OR AS A SERVICE PROVIDER OF THE COMPANY OR ANY PARENT OR SUBSIDIARY OF THE COMPANY AT ANY TIME, WITH OR WITHOUT CAUSE.

6. Forfeiture Events. The Administrator shall require, in all appropriate circumstances, forfeiture or repayment with respect to these PSUs, where: (a) the vesting of the PSUs, or any portion of the PSUs, was predicated upon achieving certain financial results that subsequently were the subject of a financial restatement of the Company’s financial statements previously filed with the SEC (such restated financial results, the “Restated Financial Results”); and (b) a lesser portion of the PSUs would have vested based upon the restated financial results. In each such instance, (i) Participant shall forfeit the vested portion of the PSUs that would not have vested based on the Restated Financial Results (the “Forfeited Portion”); provided that (ii) to the extent that Company has issued any Shares to Participant subject to the Forfeited Portion (the “Issued Shares”), the Issued Shares shall be forfeited to the Company; and provided further, that (iii) to the extent Participant transferred or disposed of in any manner any Issued Shares, Participant shall pay to the Company the gross amount of the proceeds resulting from the transfer or other disposition of such Purchased Shares, in a single cash lump sum no later than thirty (30) days following written notice by the Company. For purposes of the immediately preceding sentence, any forfeiture or repayment required under this Section 6 shall be satisfied (A) first via forfeiture of any vested and unissued portion of the PSUs in accordance with clause (i) of this Section, (B) next via the forfeiture, of any Shares issued under the PSUs Participant holds, in accordance with clause (ii) of this Section, as applicable, and (C) lastly by requiring repayment pursuant to clause (iii) of this Section, as applicable. Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary under this Agreement, the PSUs shall be subject to any clawback policy of the Company currently in effect or that may be established and/or amended from time to time that applies to these PSUs (the “Clawback Policy”), provided that the Clawback Policy does not discriminate solely against Participant except as required by Applicable Laws, and provided further that if there is a conflict between the terms of these PSUs and the Clawback Policy, the more stringent terms, as determined by the Administrator in good faith, shall apply. The Administrator may require Participant to forfeit, return or reimburse the Company all or a portion of the PSUs and any amounts paid thereunder pursuant to the terms of the Clawback Policy or as necessary or appropriate to comply with Applicable Laws.

7. Address for Notices.
