ADDITIONAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF YOUR

RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD

EFFECT OF TERMINATION OF SERVICE. You must be a member of the CryoLife Board of Directors on the applicable vesting date to be entitled to the vesting of your Stock Award on such date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if you cease to be a member of the CryoLife Board of Directors as a result of your death or disability or because you have served out your full term but are not standing for re-election at the end thereof, your Stock Award shall immediately become fully vested on the date you cease to be a member of the Board. If you cease to be a member of the CryoLife Board of Directors for any other reason, and your Stock Award has not vested as of the date of termination of Board service, your Stock Award shall automatically be forfeited and cancelled as of the date of such termination of Board service.

STOCK AWARD SHARE CERTIFICATES. Certificates or a book entry account representing the shares of Common Stock to be issued pursuant to the Stock Award shall be issued in your name and shall be held by CryoLife until the Stock Award is vested or forfeited as provided herein. Following vesting of your Stock Award, upon your written request, CryoLife shall promptly deliver to you a certificate or certificates representing the shares as to which the Stock Award has vested, free of the restrictions described in the following section. Your rights in your Stock Award are contingent upon your executing and returning to the Company a form of stock power with respect to the shares subject to your Stock Award.

RIGHTS WITH RESPECT TO STOCK AWARD PRIOR TO VESTING. You may not transfer your Stock Award or the shares to be issued hereunder prior to vesting. Once this Stock Award vests, you may receive transferable certificates representing the vested portion. Prior to vesting, you are entitled to all other rights as a shareholder with respect to the shares underlying the Stock Award, including the right to vote such shares and to receive dividends and other distributions, if any, payable with respect to such shares after the date of grant.

MISCELLANEOUS. Failure by you or CryoLife at any time or times to require performance by the other of any provisions in the Agreement will not affect the right to enforce those provisions. Any waiver by you or CryoLife of any condition or of any breach of any term or provision in this Agreement, whether by conduct or otherwise, in any one or more instances, shall apply only to that instance and will not be deemed to waive conditions or breaches in the future. If any court of competent jurisdiction holds that any term or provision of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable, the remaining terms and provisions will continue in full force and effect, and the Agreement shall be deemed to be amended automatically to exclude the offending provision.
