Item 1.01.

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

 

On March 12, 2009, Stereotaxis, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Silicon Valley Bank (the “Bank”) to amend and restate the terms of that certain Loan and Security Agreement, dated April 30, 2004, by and between the Company and the Bank, as amended (the “Original Agreement”). The following describes the material modifications to the Original Agreement effected by the Agreement.

The Agreement extends the maturity date on the Company’s revolving line of credit until March 31, 2010. The Agreement sets the maximum amount of credit that potentially may be extended to the Company by the Bank at $25 million, which includes a $10 million sublimit for funds advanced subject to certain investor guarantees. As previously announced, Alafi Capital Company LLC and certain affiliates of Sanderling Venture Partners, stockholders of the Company, have executed a $10 million unsecured loan commitment to the Company. Pursuant to that commitment, those stockholders have executed guarantees in favor of the Bank, severally but not jointly and severally, of amounts borrowed by the Company from the Bank (subject to the $10 million sublimit).

On March 12, 2009, the Company also entered into that certain Export-Import Bank Loan and Security Agreement (the “Ex-Im Agreement”) with the Bank. The Ex-Im Agreement expands the advance rate on foreign receivables set forth in the Original Agreement. Pursuant to the Ex-Im Agreement, the Bank issued the Company revolving line of credit of up to $10 million, guaranteed by Export-Import Bank of the United States, in connection with the Company’s foreign accounts receivable.
