WARRANT TO PURCHASE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK OF

AMEDICA CORPORATION

This Amendment to Warrant to Purchase Shares of Common Stock (this “Amendment”) dated as of December 18, 2012, is made by and between Amedica Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and the undersigned,                     (the “Warrant Holder”), and it hereby amends that certain Warrant to Purchase Shares of Common Stock of the Company (the “Existing Warrant”) originally issued in connection with the Company’s issuance and sale of its Senior Secured Subordinated Convertible Promissory Notes during the period beginning March 4, 2011 and ending February 15, 2012 (referred to herein collectively as the “Convertible Notes” and each individually as a “Convertible Note”).

WHEREAS, the requisite holders of Convertible Notes voted, consented and agreed to amend the Convertible Notes such that all of the Convertible Notes would be automatically converted into shares of the Company’s Series F Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Series F Preferred Stock”), immediately prior to the Company entering into a term loan ($18 million) and a new revolving credit facility (up to $3.5 million) (the “GE Credit Facility”) with General Electric Capital Corporation (“GECC”) and/or with one or more of GECC’s affiliates or designees and such other lenders as may be determined by GECC (or determined by one or more of GECC’s affiliates or designees) (referred to herein collectively as the “GE Lenders”).

WHEREAS, on December 17, 2012, the Company and the GE Lenders completed the closing of the GE Credit Facility and the outstanding Convertible Notes automatically were converted into shares of Series F Preferred Stock immediately prior to the Company entering into the GE Credit Facility.

WHEREAS, in connection with the Company’s issuance of shares of Series F Preferred Stock upon conversion of the Convertible Notes, the Company now offers to amend the Existing Warrant, subject to the approval of the Warrant Holder, to (a) extend the Warrant Expiration Date (as defined therein) by four (4) additional years and (b) reduce the Stated Purchase Price (as defined therein) from $2.00 per share of Common Stock to $1.00 per share.

WHEREAS, Section 11 of the Existing Warrant provides that it may be amended only with the consent of the holder of such Existing Warrant, and the Warrant Holder and the Company have executed and delivered this Amendment.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises, the mutual promises contained herein, and the benefits to be derived by each party hereunder, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Amedica and Warrant Holder, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree to amend the Existing Warrant, as set forth below and hereby agree as follows:
