 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 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.
