reasonable assistance on issues that are within his knowledge by virtue of his past connection
with the Company, LCC and other Group Companies.

Company of which he is not aware as at the date of this
Agreement.
	 
	4.2	 	The Supplier hereby confirms that:

suffering from any personal injury due to his involvement with the Company or any Group
Company as at the date of this Agreement;

claims arising from the Consulting Agreement or its termination in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement; and
	 
	 	4.2.5	 	it has taken legal advice from the Independent Adviser in respect of all
rights, claims and proceedings that it or the Supplier’s Employee may have against the

Employee as at the date of this Agreement, other than any claims arising from any criminal,
fraudulent or wilfully negligent act or omission, arising out of the

	 	 	performance or otherwise by the Supplier of its obligations under the terms of the
Consulting Agreement or (subject to clause 3.10 above) from any breach by the Supplier’s
Employee of his fiduciary duties as a director or officer of any Group Company. The Company
confirms that it is not aware of any claims that it has or may have against the Supplier or
the Supplier’s Employee.

Company or their officers or employees. The Company will use its reasonable endeavours to
procure that none of its directors or officers and that no directors of officers of the
Company or of any Group Company with which the Supplier and the Supplier’s Employee have been
involved during the term of the Consulting Agreement will, whether directly or indirectly,
make, publish or otherwise communicate any disparaging or derogatory statements, whether in
writing or otherwise, concerning the Supplier or the Supplier’s Employee.

their servicability) and any board papers, the Supplier will use its reasonable endeavours
to return on or before the 5th April 2008 to the Company all property, equipment,
records, correspondence, documents, files, discs, software and other information (whether

Redwood City, California

     THIS SECOND AMENDMENT TO OFFICE LEASE AGREEMENT (“Second Amendment”) is dated as of
November 19, 2007 (the “Effective Date”) and is entered into between HCP LS REDWOOD CITY,
LLC (f/k/a Slough Redwood City, LLC), a Delaware limited liability company (“Landlord”) and
CARDICA, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Tenant”), with reference to the following facts:

Recitals

     A. Landlord (as successor to CA-Seaport Centre Limited Partnership) and Tenant are
parties to an Office Lease Agreement dated as of April 25, 2003, as amended by a First Amendment
dated as of January 21, 2004 (the “First Amendment”) (as so amended, the “Lease”),
which Lease presently covers premises consisting of approximately 29,614 rentable square feet (the
“Premises”) constituting a portion of the building in the Britannia Seaport Centre, Redwood
City, California commonly known as 900 Saginaw Drive (the “Building”). The current term of
the Lease is presently scheduled to expire on August 31, 2008.

     B. Landlord and Tenant wish to further amend the Lease to provide for the extension
of the term of the Lease, subject to all of the provisions of this Second Amendment, and to make
certain other mutually agreeable changes in the Lease as more particularly set forth herein.

     C. Capitalized terms used in this Second Amendment as defined terms but not
specifically defined in this Second Amendment shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the
Lease.

Agreement

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements contained in this Second Amendment
and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, Landlord and Tenant agree as follows:

     1. Extended Term of Lease. The Term of the Lease is extended to and
including August 31, 2011, upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Second Amendment. The
period from September 1, 2008 through August 31, 2011 is referred to herein as the “Extended
Term.” Tenant shall have no further option to extend the Term of the Lease, and the provisions
of Article I of Exhibit F to the Lease are terminated and of no further force or effect.
The Right of First Offer set forth in Article II of Exhibit F to the Lease remains in full
force and effect, however, and shall remain exercisable in accordance with its terms during the
Extended Term.

           (a) During the remainder of the initial Term of the Lease (i.e., through August 31,
2008), the provisions of the Lease relating to Base Rent, Additional Rent, Tenant’s Pro Rata Share,
Tenant’s Monthly Expense and Tax Payment and all other monetary obligations of Tenant under the
Lease shall remain in full force and effect and are not affected by this Second Amendment.

 

 

           (b) During the Extended Term, the provisions of the Lease relating to monthly Base
Rent, Additional Rent, Tenant’s Pro Rata Share, Tenant’s Monthly Expense and Tax Payment and all
other monetary obligations of Tenant under the Lease shall remain in full force and effect and are
not affected by this Second Amendment, except that the monthly Base Rent payable by Tenant under
the Lease for the Extended Term shall be as follows:

	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 
	 	 	 	 	 	 	Base Rent	 	Monthly
	Months	 	Rentable SF	 	Per SF/Mo	 	Base Rent

	9/1/09 - 8/31/10

	 	 	29,614	 	 	$	2.34	 	 	$	69,296.76	 
	9/1/10 - 8/31/11

	 	 	29,614	 	 	$	2.43	 	 	$	71,962.02	 

     2. Landlord’s Work; No Allowance. Landlord shall perform the following work
in the Premises and Building, at Landlord’s sole cost and not as an operating expense under the
Lease, with reasonable diligence and as soon as practicable after the Effective Date: (a) replace
the carpet in the common lobbies and repaint the common lobbies in mutually acceptable color and
grade; and (b) replace damaged and/or rusty stall panels in restrooms, install electric hand driers
in all restrooms, and replace the wallpaper and/or paint the restrooms. Apart from the performance
of the specific items of work described in the preceding sentence, Tenant acknowledges that
Landlord is not required to provide, and will not provide, any improvements, refurbishments or
other work in the Premises or Building, nor any tenant improvement allowance, refurbishment
allowance or other similar allowance or funding with respect to the Premises or Building, during or
in connection with the Extended Term.

     3. Reduction of Security Deposit. As of the Effective Date, the amount of
the Security Deposit required to be maintained by Tenant under the Lease is reduced to $300,000 for
the duration of the initial Term and Extended Term. Promptly following the Effective Date,
Landlord shall cooperate with Tenant in arranging for a reduction of the letter of credit presently
held by Landlord, or the issuance of a replacement letter of credit by the issuer, to conform to
such reduction in the amount of the Security Deposit, provided that any charges or fees
imposed by the issuer in connection with such reduction or replacement of the letter of credit
shall be paid solely by Tenant.

     4. Brokers. Landlord shall pay a commission (a) to Tenant’s broker, Jones
Lang LaSalle, and (b) to Landlord’s broker, CB Richard Ellis, Inc., each in accordance with a
separate agreement, upon execution of this Second Amendment. Each party respectively (i)
represents and warrants that no other broker participated in the consummation of this Second
Amendment or of the transactions contemplated herein, and (ii) agrees to indemnify, defend and hold
the other party harmless against any liability, cost or expense, including (but not limited to)
reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising out of any claims for brokerage commissions or other similar
compensation in connection with any conversations, prior negotiations, agreements or other dealings
by the indemnifying party with any other broker in connection with this Second Amendment and the
transactions contemplated herein.

     5. Entire Agreement. This Second Amendment constitutes the entire agreement
between Landlord and Tenant regarding the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior
negotiations, discussions, terms sheets, letters, understandings and agreements, whether oral or
written, between the parties with respect to such subject matter (other than the Lease itself, as
expressly amended hereby).

     6. Execution and Delivery. This Second Amendment may be executed in one or
more counterparts and by separate parties on separate counterparts, effective when each party has
executed at least one such counterpart or separate counterpart, but each such counterpart shall
constitute an original and all such counterparts together shall constitute one and the same
