Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

We have acted as special counsel to Stereotaxis, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the distribution by the Company to its stockholders and certain of its warrant holders (pursuant to the terms of their respective warrants), of transferable subscription rights (the “Rights”) to purchase an aggregate of up to 6,315,953 shares of common stock (the “Rights Shares”), par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), of the Company, at a price of $3.00 per full share (the “Subscription Price”), pursuant to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1 (the “Registration Statement”) filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), on September 9, 2013.

 

In connection herewith, we have examined:

 

(1)    the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company;

 

(2)    the Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company; and

 

(3)    the Registration Statement.

 

We have also examined originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of such other corporate records, agreements and instruments of the Company, statements and certificates of public officials and officers of the Company, and such other documents, records and instruments, and we have made such legal and factual inquiries as we have deemed necessary or appropriate as a basis for us to render the opinions hereinafter expressed. In our examination of the foregoing, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the legal competence and capacity of natural persons, the authenticity of documents submitted to us as originals and the conformity with authentic original documents of all documents submitted to us as copies. When relevant facts were not independently established, we have relied without independent investigation as to matters of fact upon statements of governmental officials and upon representations made in or pursuant to the certificates and statements of appropriate representatives of the Company.

 

Based upon the foregoing and in reliance thereon, and subject to the assumptions, comments, qualifications, limitations and exceptions set forth herein, we are of the opinion that following (i) the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, (ii) the issuance of the Rights and the Rights Shares in the manner described in the Registration Statement, (iii) the receipt by the Company of the consideration for the Rights Shares specified in the applicable resolutions of the Board of Directors of the Company, (A) the Rights will be valid and binding obligations of the Company, and (B) the Rights Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

 

This opinion is not rendered with respect to any laws other than the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. The opinions set forth herein are made as of the date hereof and are subject to, and may be limited by, future changes in the factual matters set forth herein, and we undertake no duty to advise you of the same. The opinions expressed herein are based upon the law in effect (and published or otherwise generally available) on the date hereof, and we assume no obligation to
