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.

5

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.

all Development Services and any assignment of rights to the Devices; and Amedica shall not be obligated to make, or otherwise be liable for, any additional payment of compensation or reimbursement of expenses with regard to Development Services or the Devices or other similar type payment. It is the parties’ intent that this Agreement provide for the “sale or exchange of a capital asset” by Bolognesi to Amedica under Internal Revenue Code Section 1235 entitled “Sale or Exchange of Patents,” and that all payments made to Bolognesi hereunder shall be taxed as long-term capital gains. Nothing in this Agreement to the contrary shall imply that the parties intend that the payments to Bolognesi hereunder shall be for anything other than the transfer of all proprietary rights that Bolognesi may have in the Devices. Amedica is making no warranties or representations, however, as to ultimate taxability of the payments to Bolognesi hereunder.

Amedica acknowledges that Bolognesi has other professional business and investment dealings in addition to his responsibilities under this Agreement and that Bolognesi will not be required to devote his time exclusively to his responsibilities hereunder. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, Bolognesi agrees that during the Term, Amedica shall have the exclusive rights to the Devices.

a. Both during the Term and following termination of this Agreement for any reason, except as necessary for the performance of the Development Services hereunder, Bolognesi shall not, at any time or in any manner, directly or indirectly, use, divulge, disclose or communicate to any third-person or entity any information that was disclosed to or developed by Bolognesi during the course of performing the Development Services and which is not generally available to the public, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing: information

6

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.

regarding matters affecting or relating to Amedica’s business or its Devices; the nature of Amedica’s properties or products, whether developed or under development; the identity of Amedica’s customers; prices which Amedica obtains or has obtained with respect to its products or services; information as to Amedica’s discussions, negotiations and/or dealings with actual or potential third-party buyers, investors, licensees or co-venturers; Amedica’s costs, overhead or profit margin; or Amedica’s operational methods or its business plans and processes. All material as such will be labeled “confidential”.

b. Records. Promptly following termination of this Agreement, Bolognesi shall deliver to Amedica any and all property of Amedica which may be in his possession including products, materials, memoranda, notes, records, reports, writings, drawings, diskettes, models and other materials or other documents or photocopies of the same in any tangible form whatsoever constituting confidential or proprietary information of Amedica, and any of the foregoing in intangible form.

a. Certain Acknowledgments and Agreements. Bolognesi recognizes and acknowledges the competitive and proprietary nature of Amedica’s business operations. Bolognesi acknowledges and agrees that a business will be deemed competitive with Amedica if it engages in a line of business in which it develops, manufactures or sells any products provided or offered by Amedica or any similar ceramic products to those defined in Schedule “A”.

b. Bolognesi agrees that during the Term and for an additional [**********] after termination of this Agreement (which period shall be tolled during the period of any violation or breach of any of the provisions hereof and for a period of [**********] thereafter), whether such termination is voluntary or involuntary, Bolognesi shall not:

(i) For his benefit, or on behalf of any other person or entity, directly or indirectly, as principal, agent, stockholder, employee, consultant, representative or in any other capacity, own, manage, operate or control, or be concerned, connected or employed by, or otherwise associate in any manner with, engage in or have a financial interest in any Competitive Business dealing, manufacturing or having an interest in the devices listed in Schedule “A” anywhere in the continental United States of America (the “Restricted Territory”), except that nothing contained herein shall preclude Bolognesi from purchasing or owning securities of any such business if such securities are publicly traded, and provided that his holdings do not exceed one percent (1%) of the issued and outstanding securities of any class of securities of such business; or

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.

(ii) Either individually or on behalf of or through any third party, solicit, divert or appropriate or attempt to solicit, divert or appropriate, any known customers or patrons of Amedica; or

(iii) Either individually or on behalf of or through any third party, directly or indirectly, solicit, entice or persuade or attempt to solicit, entice or persuade any other employees of or consultants to Amedica or any present or future parent, subsidiary or affiliate of Amedica to leave the services of Amedica or any such parent, subsidiary or affiliate for any reason.

c. Reasonableness of Restrictions. Bolognesi further recognizes and acknowledges that:

(i) The restrictions in this Section 7 are reasonable in relation to the skills which represent his principal salable asset both to Amedica and to any prospective employers; and

8

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.

(ii) The geographical scope of the provisions of this Section 7 is reasonable, legitimate and fair to Bolognesi in light of Amedica’s need to market its services and sell its products worldwide in order to have a sufficient customer base to make Amedica’s business profitable and in light of the limited restrictions on the type of employment prohibited herein compared to the types of employment for which Bolognesi is qualified to earn his livelihood.

d. Survival of Acknowledgments and Agreements. The acknowledgments and agreements set forth in this Section 7 shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement.

a. Disclosure of Devices. Bolognesi agrees that he will promptly disclose all Devices to Amedica and that he will not publish any Devices, or any information with regard thereto, without the prior written consent of Amedica.

b. Property of Amedica. Amedica shall have the sole and exclusive right, even as to Bolognesi, to prepare, file, prosecute, obtain and maintain any and all patents and patent applications claiming any Devices. All Devices shall be the sole and exclusive property of Amedica and, subject to payment pursuant to the provisions of Section 3 hereof, Bolognesi hereby assigns to Amedica all of his right, title and interest in and to all of the Devices unless Amedica fails to commence the manufacture, marketing or distribution of the Devices within [***********] of development. Bolognesi further agrees to use his best efforts to ensure that no Devices will violate or infringe upon any right, patent, copyright, trademark or right of privacy, or constitute libel or slander against or violate any other rights of any person, firm or corporation.

c. Prior Rights. Bolognesi has attached hereto as Schedule “B”

11

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.

As further consideration hereunder, the parties agree in good faith to negotiate an agreement granting Bolognesi certain rights to obtain options for the purchase of Amedica stock. The nature, amount and terms of such options shall be agreed upon by the parties in good-faith as soon as reasonably possible.

This Agreement constitutes a development agreement only. Nothing herein is intended, nor shall it be construed, to create any employer/ employee arrangement, partnership arrangement or other relationship between or among the parties except as expressly provided herein; and nothing herein is intended to grant to either party any right or interest in or to the assets, business or interests of the other party, nor the right to bind the other party except as expressly herein provided.

12

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.

(ii) To the extent claimed or proven to be solely due to Device design or manufacturing defect (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) of whatever sort based on claims of product design or manufacturing defects whether sounding in negligence, strict liability at law, contract or statutory violation; and

(iii) Any breach by Amedica of any provision of this Agreement.

b. Any indemnification provided by Amedica hereunder shall not apply to any claim insofar as that claims:

relieve Amedica of its indemnification obligations to the extent Amedica has been materially prejudiced by such failure. Amedica may select counsel at its own expense and control the defense of such indemnity claim and Bolognesi may participate jointly with Amedica in such defense, at Bolognesi’s expense, in which event the parties shall reasonably cooperate with each other subject, however, to Amedica’s ultimate control of the defense. With respect to any Action relating solely to the payment of money damages, Amedica shall have the sole right to defend, settle, or otherwise dispose of such claim on such terms as Amedica, in its sole discretion, shall deem appropriate; provided, that Amedica shall provide reasonable evidence of its ability to pay any damages claimed.

d. Unenforceable Provision. If any provision of this Agreement is deemed unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, the remaining provisions shall nonetheless be enforceable according to their terms. Further, if any provision is held to be over broad as written, such provision shall be deemed amended to narrow its application to the extent necessary to make the provision enforceable according to applicable law and shall be enforced as amended.

e. Assignment.
