Dear Ashok:

This letter will confirm the agreement under which Amedica Corporation (the “Company”) engages Creation Capital LLC (“Creation Capital”) as the exclusive placement agent for the Company.

1. Private Placement Engagement

A. Scope of Engagement. The Company hereby engages Creation Capital as the Company’s exclusive placement agent during the term of this agreement (the “Agreement”) in connection with the proposed private placement of securities of the Company (the “Offering”). Creation Capital hereby accepts such engagement on the terms and conditions set forth herein. It is currently contemplated that the Offering will be structured as a best-efforts private offering of a minimum of $3,000,000 and a maximum of $14,000,000 of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company (the “Stock”) at a price of $2.00 per share (the “Offering Price”), plus a 20% ($2,800,000) overallotment option to Creation Capital. The Stock will have the terms substantially as set forth in Appendix I, attached hereto. However, as you know, the final terms of the Offering may be negotiated between the Company and the investors who purchase the Stock in the Offering, and will be set forth in a definitive agreement to be executed by the Company and the investors. This Agreement shall not give rise to any commitment by Creation Capital to purchase any of the Stock, and Creation Capital shall have no authority to bind the Company with respect to the sale of the Stock.

B. Services. Creation Capital will perform the following services in connection with the Offering:

a) review the Company’s current business operations, prospects and projected financial results and such other matters as Creation Capital deems relevant to enable it to render financial advice and assistance to the Company;

Portions of this Exhibit were omitted and have been filed separately with the Secretary of the Commission pursuant to the Company’s application requesting confidential treatment under Rule 406 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

b) assist the Company and its counsel in the preparation and review of a private placement memorandum and related documents;

c) identify and contact potential investors; and

d) establish an appropriate escrow account to facilitate the closing(s) of sale(s) of the Stock pursuant to the Offering.

C. Term of Engagement. The term of this Agreement shall extend until the earlier of (i) sale of all of the Stock pursuant to the Offering or (ii) 90 days from the date of Creation Capital’s receipt of the final printed Memorandum (as defined below), which period shall be automatically extended until the closing with respect to any subscriptions for investment that have been accepted by the Company prior to such date. The exclusive period may be extended by mutual consent. Upon expiration of this Agreement, any accrued fees and unreimbursed expenses will be immediately due and payable by the Company to Creation Capital. If the Company terminates the Offering prior to the end of the period set forth in the first sentence of this section, does not accept subscriptions from investors that have been properly entered into, or otherwise violates any of its obligations under this Agreement, and subsequently at any time during the one (1) year period following the expiration or termination of the Offering the Company completes a private placement or sells equity or debt securities (other than pursuant to a public offering, to officers and directors of the Company, in connection with the hiring or compensation of employees, consultants or directors, or in connection with a strategic alliance or similar agreement), then Creation Capital shall be entitled to receive, and the Company shall be obligated to pay to Creation Capital, the fees (both the cash and warrant components) set forth in Sections 2(A) and 2(B) below with respect to the securities sold in such offerings or sales.

D. Offering Memorandum. The Offering will be made by means of a private placement memorandum (the “Memorandum”), to be prepared and approved by the Company and its counsel. The Company will also be responsible for updating and supplementing the Memorandum prior to any sale of the Stock pursuant to the Offering to reflect developments and changes affecting the Company. The Memorandum and any amendment or supplement thereto will be in a form reasonably acceptable to Creation Capital and its counsel. The Company agrees that Creation Capital will rely, without independent verification, on the information contained in the Memorandum and shall have no responsibility for any information contained therein. All other documents and materials to be used for circulation to investors (collectively, “Investor Materials”) in connection with the Offering will be provided by the Company to Creation Capital in advance, and no such documents or materials will be provided to investors without Creation Capital’s prior approval. Creation Capital shall not provide to investors any information about the Company other than Investor Materials that both Creation Capital and the Company have approved. Except as provided in the next sentence, the Memorandum and all Investor Materials shall be the sole responsibility of the Company. Subject to the Projections Qualification (defined below), neither the Memorandum nor any of the Investor Materials shall contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, except that the Company shall not be responsible for any information

EXECUTION COPY

concerning Creation Capital supplied by Creation Capital in writing to the Company for inclusion therein, which information shall be governed by the same standard but for which Creation Capital shall be responsible.

E. Compliance with Securities Laws. Each of the Company and Creation Capital agrees to conduct the Offering in a manner intended to qualify for the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), available pursuant to Regulation D thereunder. Each of the Company and Creation Capital agrees to limit offers to sell, and solicitations of offers to buy, the Stock in connection with the Offering to persons reasonably believed by it to be “accredited investors” within the meaning of Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act. Each of the Company and Creation Capital agrees that it will not engage in any form of general solicitation or general advertising in connection with the Offering within the meaning of Rule 502(c) under the Securities Act. Each of the Company and Creation Capital agrees to conduct the Offering in a manner intended to comply with the registration or qualification requirements, or available exemptions therefrom, under applicable state “blue sky” laws and applicable securities laws of other jurisdictions in which the Company and Creation Capital agree that offers and sales will be made. None of the Company, Creation Capital nor any person acting on their respective behalf has, prior to the date hereof, taken any action which, if taken after the date hereof, would constitute a violation of the preceding four sentences. The Company shall be responsible for compliance with the filing requirements of the securities laws of states and other jurisdictions and in that respect shall provide to Creation Capital a “blue sky” memorandum and shall make all filings and take all other actions as are required in connection with compliance with such laws. The Company will not, for a period of six (6) months following the final closing date under the Offering, offer for sale or sell securities in a transaction the primary purpose of which is to raise capital for the Company unless, in the opinion of the Company’s legal counsel, concurred with by Creation Capital’s legal counsel, such offer or sale does not jeopardize the availability of exemptions from the registration and the qualification requirements under applicable federal securities laws, state “blue sky” laws or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction with respect to the Offering.

2. Fees and Expenses

A. Placement Agent Fee. Upon execution of this agreement, the Company will pay Creation Capital a refundable retainer of $75,000. This retainer will be applied to the fee to be paid to Creation Capital at the first closing of the sale of the Stock as described below. From time to time, upon the closing of the sale of the Stock, the Company agrees to pay Creation Capital a placement agent fee equal to nine percent (9%) of the gross proceeds of all sales of Stock pursuant to the Offering. Fees payable pursuant to this section shall be due whether or not the investors were introduced to or contacted on behalf of the Company by Creation Capital; provided, however, the foregoing fees shall not apply to any investment by (i) any officer of the Company or member of the Company’s Board of Directors, or (ii) any entity listed on Exhibit B hereto (all such investors described in clauses (i) and (ii) being hereinafter referred to as “Company-Related Investors”). Such fees shall be payable in cash; and provided, further, that Creation Capital shall, in its sole discretion, have the right to elect to receive any or all of the placement agent fees in shares of Stock, the value of which shares will be calculated on the basis of the Offering Price. Creation Capital shall be entitled, but shall not be obligated, to purchase Stock sold in the Offering on the same terms and conditions as the other purchasers in the Offering.

B. Warrants. From time to time, upon the closing of the sale of Stock, Creation Capital shall receive (in addition to the fee set forth in Section 2.A. above) warrants to purchase a number of shares of Stock equal to fifteen percent (15%) of the total number of the shares of Stock sold in the Offering; provided, however, the foregoing warrant coverage shall not apply to any investment by any Company-Related Investors. The warrants (a) will be exercisable for a period of seven-years from the date of the final closing of the sale of Stock pursuant to the Offering, (b) will have an exercise price equal to 110% of the price per share of Stock in the Offering and (c) will be exercisable on the earlier of (i) one (1) year from the date of final sale of shares of Stock pursuant to the Offering, (ii) the consummation of a registered public offering or (iii) the consummation of a merger of the Company with or into another entity, acquisition of the outstanding capital stock of the Company, sale of the Company’s assets, or recapitalization as a result of which the Company’s stockholders immediately prior to such transaction hold less than 50% of the voting power of the surviving corporation immediately after such transaction, or more than 50% of the assets of the Company are transferred or sold. The warrants shall be issued pursuant to a definitive warrant agreement containing customary provisions including registration rights, anti-dilution provisions which comply with NASD or other applicable exchange or regulatory requirements, and a cashless exercise provision.

C. Expenses. The Company agrees to pay Creation Capital (i) upon each closing of the sale of Stock one percent (1%) of the amount of gross proceeds from the sale of Stock pursuant to the Offering for non-accountable expenses, up to a maximum of $140,000, plus (ii) reasonable fees and expenses of legal counsel up to $35,000, $20,000 of which shall be payable to Creation Capital’s counsel as a retainer upon execution of this Agreement. The Company agrees to pay up front all reasonable expenses incurred as a result of marketing purposes, including the printing of the Memorandum and the Investor Materials, renting of facilities for any presentations, and travel expenses, it being agreed that any such expenses incurred by Creation Capital in conducting the Offering shall be creditable against the $140,000 above unless such expenses relate to the Company’s travel and participation in the Offering, which expenses shall be entirely borne by the Company.

D. Related Transactions. (a) To the extent that any purchaser (or its affiliate) in the Offering (other than any current stockholder of the Company, except for purposes of this clause only, any investor in Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and Series B Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company), purchases any other equity or debt securities of the Company from the Company in a private sale during the twelve (12) month period following the closing of such purchaser’s last purchase of Stock in the Offering, Creation Capital shall be entitled to receive with respect to such subsequent sale the fees (both the cash and warrant components) as set forth in Sections 2.A. and 2.B. hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Creation Capital shall not be entitled to receive any fees pursuant to this Section 2.D. with respect to sales of securities by the Company to any Company-Related Investor, except in the event of a Change of Control (as defined below).

EXECUTION COPY

(b) If the Company receives an Acquisition Proposal, a transaction pursuant to such Acquisition Proposal is completed at tiny time prior to a registered public offering of the securities of the Company and Creation raises at least $7,000,000 in the Offering, then Creation Capital will be entitled to a “Transaction Fee” as set forth below. An “Acquisition Proposal” shall be any proposal to acquire capital stock of the Company, directly or indirectly, any merger proposal, tender offer, recapitalization or asset sale pursuant to which the Company’s stockholders immediately prior to such transaction hold less than 50% of the voting power of the surviving corporation immediately after such transaction or the majority of the assets of the Company are transferred or sold. A “Change of Control” shall mean any consummation of the Acquisition Proposal.

If a Change of Control is completed and Creation raises at least $7,000,000 in the Offering, Creation Capital shall be paid a “Transaction Fee” equal to (i) three percent (3%) of the Aggregate Transaction Value if the Aggregate Transaction Value is up to $50,000,000, (ii) two percent (2%) of the Aggregate Transaction Value if the Aggregate Transaction Value is more than $50,000,00 but less than $100,000,000, and (iii) one and a half percent (1.5%) of the Aggregate Transaction Value if the Aggregate Transaction Value is more than $100,000,000; provided, however, that in any event the Transaction Fee shall not exceed $2,500,000. “Aggregate Transaction Value” shall be defined to include, without limitation, all cash, securities, notes and other consideration paid, directly or indirectly, by the acquiring entity, plus any debt assumed. The fees determined under the terms of this Agreement shall be due and payable in cash via wire transfer at closing. Any portion of such Transaction Fee attributable to consideration to be paid to the Company and/or its stockholders after the closing of such transaction shall be payable to Creation Capital at the time such consideration is received by the Company and/or its stockholders. If the Aggregate Transaction Value or a portion thereof is in the form of publicly traded debt or equity securities, then the amount of the Aggregate Transaction Value will be based on the fair market value of such securities determined as of the closing date. If the securities are not publicly traded, the fair market value of such securities will be determined by the terms of the final acquisition agreement to be negotiated in good faith between the Company and the acquiring company.

3. Due Diligence

A. Due Diligence and Company Material. The Company shall make members of management, employees and advisors reasonably available to Creation Capital for purposes of satisfying Creation Capital’s due diligence requirements and consummating the Offering, and shall commit such time and other resources as are reasonably necessary or appropriate to secure timely success of the Offering. The Company shall cooperate with Creation Capital in connection with, and shall make available to Creation Capital, data, material and other information as Creation Capital shall reasonably request to satisfy its due diligence requirements.

EXHIBIT A

Indemnification and Contribution

Indemnification by the Company.

The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Creation Capital, its affiliates, and each of their respective affiliates, directors, officers, agents, advisors, consultants, employees and controlling persons (as defined in Section 15 of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 20 (a) of the Exchange Act) (Creation Capital and each such other person or entity are hereinafter referred to as “Creation Capital Indemnified Person”), from and against any losses, claims, damages, reasonable expenses and liabilities or actions in respect thereof (collectively, “Losses”) as they may be incurred, including all legal fees and other expenses incurred in connection with investigating, preparing, defending, paying, settling or compromising any Losses, whether or not in connection with any pending or threatened litigation in which any Creation Capital Indemnified Person is a named party, to which any of them may become subject (including in any settlement effected with the Company’s consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld) and which are related to or arise out of any act or omission of the Company contemplated by or related to the Agreement. The Company will not, however, be responsible under the foregoing provisions with respect to any Losses to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction shall have determined by a final, non-appealable judgment that such Losses resulted from a Creation Capital Indemnified Person’s gross negligence or bad faith.

If the indemnity referred to in this Exhibit A should be, for any reason whatsoever, unenforceable, unavailable or otherwise insufficient to hold each Creation Capital Indemnified Person harmless for all Losses incurred by it, the Company shall pay to or on behalf of each Creation Capital Indemnified Person contributions for Losses so that each Creation Capital Indemnified Person ultimately bears only such portion of such Losses as is appropriate (i) to reflect the relative benefits received by each such Creation Capital Indemnified Person, respectively, on the one hand and the Company on the other hand in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Agreement or (ii) if the allocation on that basis is not permitted by applicable law, to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of each such Creation Capital Indemnified Person, respectively, and the Company as well as any other relevant equitable considerations; provided, however, that in no event shall the aggregate contribution of all Creation Capital Indemnified Persons to all Losses exceed the amount of the fees actually received by Creation Capital pursuant to the Agreement. The respective relative benefits received by Creation Capital and the Company in connection with any Offering shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the aggregate fee paid to Creation Capital in connection with the Offering bears to the gross proceeds of the Offering. The relative fault of each Creation Capital Indemnified Person and the Company shall be determined by reference to, among, other things, whether the actions or omissions to act were by such Creation Capital Indemnified Person or the Company, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or present such action or omission to act. The Company and Creation Capital agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable contributions referred to above.

EXECUTION COPY

The Company also agrees that no Creation Capital Indemnified Person shall have any liability to the Company or its affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors or shareholders, directly or indirectly, related to or arising out of the Agreement, except Losses incurred by the Company that a court of competent jurisdiction shall have determined by a final, non-appealable judgment to have resulted from such Creation Capital Indemnified Person’s gross negligence or bad faith. In no event, regardless of the legal theory advanced, shall any Creation Capital Indemnified Person be liable for any consequential, indirect, incidental, punitive or special damages of any nature.

Promptly after receipt by any Creation Capital Indemnified Person of notice of any pending or threatened litigation, such Creation Capital Indemnified Person will promptly notify the Company in writing of such matter; provided, however, that the failure to provide such prompt notice to the Company shall not relieve the Company of any liability which it may have to such Creation Capital Indemnified Person unless such failure to provide such prompt notice to the Company has materially prejudiced the defense of the litigation. In the event any such action is brought against any Creation Capital Indemnified Person, the Company shall be entitled to participate therein and to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Creation Capital Indemnified Person, unless, however, the Creation Capital Indemnified Person reasonably determines that defenses may be available to the Creation Capital Indemnified Person that are not available to the Company and/or may not be consistent with the best interest of the Company. In such event, the Creation Capital Indemnified Person shall have the right to assume its own defense, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company, and shall so signify by promptly notifying the Company in writing of its decision. Such decision shall not relieve the Company of any liability which it may have to the Creation Capital Indemnified Person, including the reimbursement of reasonable legal fees or other expenses incurred in connection with the Creation Capital Indemnified Person’s defense. The Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the Creation Capital Indemnified Person, effect any settlement of, consent to the entry of any judgment in, or otherwise seek to terminate any pending or threatened proceeding arising out of or relating to the engagement, unless such settlement includes an express, unconditional release of such Creation Capital Indemnified Person from all liabilities asserted, or potential claims, against the Creation Capital Indemnified Person. The Company shall not be liable for any settlement Creation Capital enters into without the Company’s consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

Indemnification by Creation Capital.

In consideration of the Agreement, Creation Capital agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its affiliates, and each of their respective affiliates, directors, officers, agents, advisors, consultants, employees and controlling persons (the Company and each such other person or entity are hereinafter referred to as a “Company Indemnified Person”), from and against any Losses as they may be incurred, including all legal fees and other expenses incurred in connection with investigating, preparing, defending, paying, settling or compromising any Losses, whether or not in connection with any pending or threatened litigation in which any Company Indemnified Person is a named party, to which any of them may become subject (including in any settlement effected with the Creation Capital’s consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld) with respect to the information provided in writing by Creation Capital

EXECUTION COPY

to the Company specifically for inclusion in the Memorandum, and which information the Company eluded in the Memorandum. Creation Capital will not, however, be responsible under the foregoing provisions with respect to any Losses to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction shall have determined by a final, non-appealable judgment that such Losses resulted from a Company Indemnified Person’s gross negligence or bad faith.

If the indemnity referred to in this Exhibit A should be, for any reason whatsoever, unenforceable, unavailable or otherwise insufficient to hold each Company Indemnified Person harmless for all Losses incurred by it, Creation Capital shall pay to or on behalf of each Company Indemnified Person contributions for Losses so that each Company Indemnified Person ultimately bears only such portion of such Losses as is appropriate (i) to reflect the relative benefits received by each such Company Indemnified Person, respectively, on the one hand and Creation Capital on the other hand in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Agreement or (ii) if the allocation on that basis is not permitted by applicable law, to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of each such Company Indemnified Person, respectively, and Creation Capital as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The respective relative benefits received by Creation Capital and the Company in connection with any Offering shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the aggregate fee paid to Creation Capital in connection with the Offering bears to the gross proceeds of the Offering. The relative fault of each Company Indemnified Person and Creation Capital shall be determined by reference to, among, other things, whether the actions or omissions to act were by such Company Indemnified Person or Creation Capital, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or present such action or omission to act. The Company and Creation Capital agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable contributions referred to above.

Promptly after receipt by any Company Indemnified Person of notice of any pending or threatened litigation, such Company Indemnified Person will promptly notify Creation Capital in writing of such matter; provided, however, that the failure to provide such prompt notice to Creation Capital shall not relieve Creation Capital of any liability which it may have to the Company Indemnified Person unless such failure to provide such prompt notice to Creation Capital has materially prejudiced the defense of the litigation. In the event any such action is brought against any Company Indemnified Person, Creation Capital shall be entitled to participate therein and to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company Indemnified Person, unless, however, the Company Indemnified Person reasonably determines that defenses may be available to the Company Indemnified Person that are not available to Creation Capital and/or may not be consistent with the best interest of Creation Capital. In such event, the Company Indemnified Person shall have the right to assume its own defense, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to Creation Capital, and shall so signify by promptly notifying Creation Capital in writing of its decision. Such decision shall not relieve Creation Capital of any liability which it may have to the Company Indemnified Person, including the reimbursement of reasonable legal fees or other expenses incurred in connection with the Company Indemnified Person’s defense. Creation Capital shall not, without the prior written consent of the Company Indemnified Person, effect any settlement of, consent to the entry of any judgment in, or otherwise seek to terminate any pending or threatened proceeding

EXECUTION COPY

arising out of or relating to the engagement, unless such settlement includes an express, unconditional release of such Company Indemnified Person from all liabilities asserted, or potential claims, against the Company Indemnified Person.
