                                                                   (Date)
Re:      GRANT OF INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION

Dear ____________________________:

     This  letter sets forth the  agreement  (the  "Agreement")  between you and
CryoLife, Inc., a Florida corporation (the "Company"),  regarding your option to
acquire shares of the Company's Common Stock.

     1.  Grant of  Option.  Subject to the terms set forth  below,  the  Company
hereby  grants to Employee  the right,  privilege,  and option to purchase up to
shares (of Common Stock the "Option  Shares") at the purchase  price of $_______
per share.  The date of grant ("Grant Date") of the option is ___________.  This
option is intended to be and shall be treated as an "Incentive Stock Option", as
that term is defined in Section 422 of the  Internal  Revenue  Code of 1986,  as
amended ("Section 422").  Provided,  however, that to the extent that the option
fails for any reason to comply with the  provisions  of Section 422, it shall be
treated as a "Non-Qualified  Stock Option" (as defined in the Plan). The Company
shall have no liability whatsoever to Employee in the event the option fails for
any reason to satisfy the  requirements for Incentive Stock Options set forth in
Section 422. This option is granted pursuant to the CryoLife, Inc. 2004 Employee
Stock Incentive Plan (the "Plan").

     2. Time of Exercise  of Option.  Prior to its  termination  as set forth in
Section 5 below,  this option  shall vest,  and the  Employee  may  exercise the
option granted herein on the following dates, or thereafter  provided the option
is exercised prior to its termination:

                                                      Cumulative Percentage of
         Exercise Date                                Option Shares Exercisable
         -------------                                -------------------------
         First Anniversary of Grant Date                        20%
         Second Anniversary of Grant Date                       40%
         Third Anniversary of Grant Date                        60%
         Fourth Anniversary of Grant Date                       80%
         Fifth Anniversary of Grant Date                       100%

     3. Method of Exercise.  The option  shall be  exercised  by written  notice
directed to the  Compensation  Committee  (the  "Committee"),  at the  Company's
principal  executive office,  and except as set forth below, must be accompanied
by payment of the option  price for the  number of Option  Shares  purchased  in
accordance  with the Plan's  requirements.  The payment for the number of Option
Shares  purchased may be payable in cash or by tendering (by actual  delivery of
shares) shares of the Company's common stock in accordance with the Plan. To the
extent  permitted  by  applicable  law,  you may elect to pay for the  number of
Option Shares purchased by irrevocably  authorizing a third party to sell shares
of the  Company's  common stock  acquired upon exercise of the Option Shares and
remitting to the Company a sufficient portion of the sale proceeds as payment of
the entire option price for the number of Option Shares purchased, including any
tax withholding resulting from such exercise. The Company shall make delivery of
such shares in  accordance  with the Plan provided that if any law or regulation
requires the Company to take any action with respect to the shares  specified in
such  notice  before the  issuance  thereof,  then the date of  delivery of such
shares shall be extended for the period necessary to take such action.

     4. The Plan. The Company's 2004 Employee Stock  Incentive  Plan, as amended
from  time  to  time  by the  Board  of  Directors  of the  Company,  is  hereby
incorporated in this Agreement and to the extent that anything in this Agreement
is  inconsistent  with the Plan, the terms of the Plan shall  control.  Employee
acknowledges that the Company has provided a copy of the Plan to Employee.

     5. Termination of Option. Except as herein otherwise stated, the option, to
the extent not previously exercised, shall terminate in accordance with the Plan
and upon the first to occur of the following events:

          (a)  Disability.  The  expiration of 36 months after the date on which
Employee's  employment by the Company is terminated,  if such  termination be by
reason of Employee's permanent and total disability, provided, however, that (i)
the option shall be  exercisable  only to the extent that Employee had the right
to exercise the option at the time of termination  and (ii) if the Employee dies
within such 36 month period,  any unexercised option held by such Employee shall
thereafter  be  exercisable  in  accordance  with the  provisions  of and  shall
terminate  upon the first to occur of the events  described in Sections 5(b) and
(d);

          (b) Death. In the event of Employee's death while in the employ of the
Company,  the  expiration  of 12 months  following the date of his or her death,
provided that the option shall be  exercisable  following the  Employee's  death
only to the extent that  Employee  had the right to  exercise  the option at the
time of his or her death.

          (c) Retirement.  In the event  Employee's  employment with the Company
terminates  by reason of normal or early  retirement,  any  option  held by such
Employee  may be  exercised  by the  Employee for a period of 36 months from the
date of such termination;  provided,  however,  that if the Employee dies within
such 36 month period any unexercised option held by Employee shall thereafter be
exercisable in accordance  with the  provisions of and shall  terminate upon the
first to occur of the events described in Section 5(b) and (d); or

          (d) Other.  Upon the earlier to occur of (i) 66 months  following  the
Grant Date, or (ii) upon  termination  of  Employee's  employment by the Company
(except  if such  termination  be by reason of death,  disability,  or normal or
early  retirement).  It  is  in  Compensation  Committee's  sole  discretion  to
determine  whether the  Employee's  employment  with the Company  terminates  by
reason of disability, normal or early retirement.

     Except as set forth above, the option may not be exercised unless Employee,
at the time he or she exercises the option,  is, and has been at all times since
the date of grant of the option,  an employee of the Company.  Employee shall be
deemed to be  employed by the Company if he or she is employed by the Company or
any of its subsidiaries.  Notwithstanding  the above, in no event may the option
be exercised after 66 months following the Grant Date.

     6. Reclassification,  Consolidation, or Merger. The number of Option Shares
may be adjusted in  accordance  with the Plan if certain  events such as merger,
reorganization, consolidation,  recapitalization, stock dividends, stock splits,
or other changes in the Company's corporate structure affecting its Common Stock
occur.

     7. Rights Prior to exercise of Option.  This Option is not transferrable by
Employee,  except  by will or by the  laws of  descent  and  distribution  or as
otherwise  set  forth in the  Plan,  and  during  Employee's  lifetime  shall be
exercisable  only by Employee.  This option shall confer no rights to the holder
hereof to act as  stockholder  with  respect to any of the Option  Shares  until
payment of the option price and delivery of a share certificate has been made.

     8.  Employee's   Representations  and  Warranties.  By  execution  of  this
Agreement, Employee represents and warrants to the Company as follows:

          (a) The entire  legal and  beneficial  interest  of the option and the
Option  Shares are for and will be held for the account of the Employee only and
neither in whole nor in part for any other person.

          (b) Employee resides at the following address:

              ---------------------------------------------------
              ---------------------------------------------------
              ---------------------------------------------------

          (c) Employee is familiar  with the Company and its plans,  operations,
and financial  condition.  Prior to the acceptance of this option,  Employee has

                                       2
<PAGE>

received all  information as he or she deems necessary and appropriate to enable
an  evaluation  of the  financial  risk inherent in accepting the option and has
received  satisfactory  and  complete  information  concerning  the business and
financial  condition  of the  Company in response  to all  inquiries  in respect
thereof.

     9. Restricted  Securities.  Employee  recognizes and understands  that this
option and the Option Shares are not currently  registered  under the Securities
Act of 1933,  as amended (the "Act"),  and if  registered  in the future may not
remain so registered and are not registered  under any state securities law. Any
transfer of the option (if otherwise  permitted  hereunder,  and once exercised,
the Option Shares) will not be recognized by the Company unless such transfer is
registered under the Act, the Georgia  Securities Act of 1973, as amended,  (the
"Georgia  Act") and any  other  applicable  state  securities  laws or  effected
pursuant to an exemption from such registration which may then be available.  If
the Option Shares are not registered,  any share  certificates  representing the
Option  Shares may be  stamped  with  legends  restricting  transfer  thereof in
accordance with the Company's policy with respect to unregistered  shares of its
Common  Stock  issued to  employees  as a result of exercise of options  granted
under the Plan. The Company may make a notation in its stock transfer records of
the aforementioned  restrictions on transfers and legends.  Employee  recognizes
and understands that the Option Shares may be restricted  securities  within the
meaning  of Rule  144  promulgated  under  the  Act;  that  the  exemption  from
registration under Rule 144 may not be available under certain circumstances and
that  Employee's  opportunity to utilize such Rule 144 to sell the Option Shares
may be limited or denied.  The Company  shall be under no obligation to maintain
or promote a public  trading market for the class of shares for which the option
is granted or to make provision for adequate information  concerning the Company
to be available to the public as  contemplated  under Rule 144. The Company will
be under no  obligation  to recognize  any transfer or sale of any Option Shares
pursuant to Rule 144 unless the terms and  conditions  of Rule 144 are  complied
with by the Employee.  By acceptance  hereof,  Employee agrees that no permitted
disposition  of any Option Shares shall be made unless and until (i) there is at
the time of exercise of the option in effect a registration  statement under the
Act, or (ii)  Employee  shall have  notified  the  Company of a proposed  Option
disposition and shall have furnished to the Company a detailed  statement of the
circumstances surrounding such disposition,  together with an opinion of counsel
acceptable in form and substance to the Company that such  disposition  will not
require  registration  of the shares so disposed under the Act, the Georgia Act,
and any  applicable  state  securities  laws.  The  Company  shall  be  under no
obligation to permit such transfer or  disposition  on its stock  transfer books
unless  counsel  for the  Company  shall  concur  as to such  matters.  Employee
recognizes and understands that as long as Employee remains a designated Section
16 officer of the  Company,  and for up to six months  thereafter,  any sales of
Option  Shares will be subject to Section 16 of the  Securities  Exchange Act of
1934,  as  amended  (the  "Exchange  Act")  and  the   regulations   promulgated
thereunder. Employee also recognizes and understands that any sale of the Option
Shares will also be subject to Rule 10b-5  promulgated  under the Exchange  Act.
Employee  agrees that any disposition of the Option Shares shall be made only in
compliance  with the Act,  the  Exchange  Act,  and the  rules  and  regulations
promulgated thereunder.

     10. Tax Matters.  The Employee  hereby agrees to comply with any applicable
federal,  state,  and local income and employment tax  requirements  which might
arise  with  regard to a  disposition  of any  Option  Shares  and to inform the
Company of any such disposition  which occurs prior to the expiration of (i) two
years from the date of grant of the  option,  and (ii) one year from the date of
transfer to him of Option  Shares.  No later than the date as of which an amount
first becomes  includable in the gross income of the Employee for federal income
tax purposes with respect to the exercise of any option under the Plan, Employee
shall pay to the Company,  or make  arrangements  satisfactory  to the Committee
regarding  the  payment  of,  any  federal,  state,  or local  taxes of any kind
required by law to be withheld with respect to such amount.  The  obligations of
the Company under the Plan are conditional on such payment or  arrangements  and
the  Company  shall have the right to deduct any such taxes from any  payment of
any kind otherwise due to Employee.

     11. Payment:  Except as set forth below, the Option Exercise Price shall be
paid in cash in U.S. Dollars at the time the Option is exercised or in shares of
Common  Stock of the Company  held by the  employee  for at least six months and
having an  aggregate  value equal to the Option  Exercise  Price.  If the Option
Exercise Price is paid by transfer of shares of Common Stock of the Company then
the value of such shares will be the fair market  value as of the day the shares
are  tendered,  which is the closing  sale price of the Stock on that day on the
New York Stock Exchange.  The Option Exercise Price may be paid by a combination
of cash and Common Stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent permitted
by  applicable  law,  Employee  may elect to pay the  Option  Exercise  Price by
authorizing  a third party to sell shares of stock (or a  sufficient  portion of
the  shares)  acquired  upon  exercise  of the Option and remit to the Company a
sufficient  portion of the sale proceeds to pay the entire Option Exercise Price
and any tax withholding resulting from such exercise.

     12. Binding  Effect.  This  Agreement  shall inure to the benefit of and be
binding  upon  the  parties  hereto  and  their  respective  heirs,   executors,
administrators, successors, and permissible assigns.

     13. Miscellaneous.  This Agreement shall be governed by and construed under
the laws of the State of Georgia.  If any term or provision hereof shall be held
invalid or  unenforceable,  the  remaining  terms and  provisions  hereof  shall
continue in full force and effect.  Any modification to this Agreement shall not
be  effective  unless  the same shall be in writing  and such  writing  shall be
signed by authorized representatives of both of the parties hereto. The terms of
paragraphs 8 and 9 hereof shall  survive  exercise of the option by Employee and
shall attach to the Option Shares. The option contained in this letter shall not
confer upon  Employee any right to continued  employment  with the Company,  nor
shall it  interfere  in any way with the right of the Company to  terminate  the
employment  of Employee at any time.  This letter can be executed in two or more
counterparts,  each of  which  shall  be  deemed  an  original  and all of which
together shall constitute but one and the same instrument.

     Please signify your acceptance of the option and your agreement to be bound
by the terms hereof by promptly signing one of the two original letters provided
to you and returning the same to the President of the Company.

     Thank you for your good work and service.

                                          Sincerely,

                   (SEAL)                 THE COMPANY:

                              delete from the definition of "Index Business Day"
                              any major US exchange or market which commences or
                              ceases to serve as a primary exchange or market
                              upon which a stock underlying the Index trades, or
                              as an exchange upon which a futures contract, an
                              option contract, or an option on a futures
                              contract relating to the Index trades.

Index Closing Level:......... means, the closing value of the Index on each
                              Index Business Day.

Barrier Index Level:......... equals 6,517.86, sixty-five percent (65%) of the
                              Initial Index Level.

Initial Index Level:......... equals 10,027.47, the closing value of the Index
                              on October 29, 2004, the date the Notes were
                              priced for initial sale to the public.

Final Index Level:........... will be determined by the Calculation Agent and
                              means the closing value of the Index on April 29,
                              2010, the "Calculation Date," or, if that day is
                              not an Index Business Day, on the next Index
                              Business Day.

Maturity Date:............... means, May 5, 2010.

Cash Settlement Value

            At Maturity, the Company shall pay the "Cash Settlement Value," an
amount in cash depending on the relation of the Final Index Level to the Initial
Index Level and whether the Index Closing Level ever equals or falls below the
Barrier Index Level:

                  (i) If the Index Closing Level: (A) never equals or never
                  falls below the Barrier Index Level, or (B) ever equals or
                  ever falls below the Barrier Index Level and on the Maturity
                  Date the Final Index Level is greater than or equals the
                  Initial Index Level, the Cash Settlement Value per each $1,000
                  aggregate principal amount of Notes will equal:

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                   Final Index Level
       $1,000 + $1,000 x [ 115% x Greater of (0%,  -----------------  - 100%)]
                                                  Initial Index Level

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

                                      -5-
<PAGE>

                  (ii) If the Index Closing Level ever equals or falls below the
                  Barrier Index Level and on the Maturity Date the Final Index
                  Level is less than the Initial Index Level, the Cash
                  Settlement Value per each $1,000 aggregate principal amount of
                  Notes will equal:

                 -------------------------------
                           Final Index Level
                 $1,000 x (-----------------)
                          Initial Index Level
                 -------------------------------

Discontinuance of the Index

            If Dow Jones discontinues publication of the Index and Dow Jones or
another entity publishes a successor or substitute index that the Calculation
Agent determines, in its sole discretion, to be comparable to the discontinued
Index (the new index being referred to as a "successor index"), then the Index
Closing Levels will be determined by reference to the successor index at the
close of trading on the NYSE, the AMEX, the Nasdaq or the relevant exchange or
market for the successor index on the date that the Index Closing Level is to be
determined. Upon any selection by the Calculation Agent of a successor index,
the Calculation Agent will cause notice to be furnished to the Company and the
Trustee, who will provide notice of the selection of the successor index to the
Holders of the Notes.

            If Dow Jones discontinues publication of the Index prior to, and
such discontinuance is continuing on, the date that the Index Closing Level is
to be determined and the Calculation Agent determines that no successor index is
available at such time, then, on such date, the Calculation Agent will calculate
the appropriate closing levels. The Index Closing Level will be computed by the
Calculation Agent in accordance with the formula for and method of calculating
the Index last in effect prior to such discontinuance, using the closing level
(or, if trading in the relevant securities has been materially suspended or
materially limited, its good faith estimate of the closing level that would have
prevailed but for such suspension or limitation) at the close of the principal
trading session on such date of each security most recently comprising the Index
on the primary organized US exchange or trading system on which such securities
trade. "Closing level" means, with respect to any security on any date, the last
reported sales price regular way on such date or, in case no such reported sale
takes place on such date, the average of the reported closing bid and asked
price regular way on such date, in

                                      -6-
<PAGE>

either case or the primary organized US exchange or trading system on which such
security is then listed or admitted to trading.

            If a successor index is selected, or the Calculation Agent
calculates a value as a substitute for the Index as described above, that
successor index or its closing level will be used as a substitute for the Index
for all purposes, including for purposes of determining whether an Index
Business Day or Market Disruption Event has occurred or exists.

Adjustments to the Index

            If at any time the method of calculating the Index or a successor
index, or the Index Closing Level thereof, is changed in a material respect, or
if the Index or a successor index is in any other way modified so that such
index does not, in the opinion of the Calculation Agent, fairly represent the
level of the Index or such successor index had such changes or modifications not
been made, then, from and after such time, the Calculation Agent will, at the
close of business in New York City on the date that the Index Closing Level is
to be determined, make such calculations and adjustments as, in its good faith
judgment, may be necessary in order to arrive at a level of a stock index
comparable to the Index or such successor index, as the case may be, as if such
changes or modifications had not been made. The Calculation Agent will calculate
the Index Closing Level with reference to the Index or such successor index, as
adjusted. If the method of calculating the Index or a successor index is
modified so that the level of such index is a fraction of what it would have
been if it had not been modified (for example, due to a split in such index),
then the Calculation Agent will adjust such index in order to arrive at a level
of the Index or such successor index as if it had not been modified (for
example, as if such split had not occurred).

Market Disruption Events

            If there is a market disruption event (a "Market Disruption Event")
on the Calculation Date, the Calculation Date will be the first succeeding Index
Business Day on which there is no Market Disruption Event, unless there is a
Market Disruption Event on each of the four Index Business Days following the
original date that, but for the Market Disruption Event, would have been the
Calculation Date. In that case, the fourth Index Business Day will be deemed to
be the Calculation Date, notwithstanding the Market Disruption Event and the
Calculation Agent will determine the level of the Index on that fourth Index
Business Day in accordance with the formula for and method of calculating the
Index in effect prior to the Market Disruption Event using the exchange traded
price of each security in the Index (or, if trading in any such security has
been materially suspended or materially limited, the Calculation Agent's good
faith estimate of the exchange traded price that would have prevailed but for
such suspension or limitation) as of that fourth Index Business Day.

            A Market Disruption Event means either of the following events, as
determined by the Calculation Agent, in its sole discretion:

   o  the suspension of or material limitation on trading for more than two
      hours of trading, or during the one-half hour period preceding the close
      of trading on the applicable exchange in 20% or more of the stocks which
      then comprise the Index, or any successor index (without taking into
      account any extended or after-hours trading session); or

                                      -7-
<PAGE>

   o  the suspension of or material limitation on trading, in each case, for
      more than two hours of trading, or during the one-half hour period
      preceding the close of trading, on the applicable exchange, whether by
      reason of movements in price otherwise exceeding levels permitted by the
      relevant exchange or otherwise, in option contracts or futures contracts
      related to the Index, or any successor index, which are traded on any
      major US exchange.

            For the purpose of the above definition:

   a) a limitation on the hours in a trading day and/or number of days of
      trading will not constitute a Market Disruption Event if it results from
      an announced change in the regular business hours of the relevant
      exchange, and

   b) for the purpose of clause (a) above, any limitations on trading during
      significant market fluctuations under NYSE Rule 80A, or any applicable
      rule or regulation enacted or promulgated by the NYSE or any other self
      regulatory organization or the Securities and Exchange Commission of
      similar scope as determined by the Calculation Agent, will be considered
      "material."

Redemption; Defeasance

            The Notes are not subject to redemption before Maturity, and are not
subject to defeasance.

Events of Default and Acceleration

            If an Event of Default with respect to any Notes has occurred and is
continuing, then the amount payable to the beneficial owner of a Note, upon any
acceleration permitted by the Notes will be equal to the Cash Settlement Value
as though the date of early repayment were the Maturity Date of the Notes,
adjusted by an amount equal to any losses, expenses and costs to the Company of
unwinding any underlying or related hedging or funding arrangements, all as
determined by the Calculation Agent in its sole and absolute discretion.

Same-Day Settlement and Payment

            Payment of the Cash Settlement Value will be made in immediately
available funds, so long as the Notes are maintained in book-entry form.

Calculation Agent

            All determinations made by the Calculation Agent will be at the sole
discretion of the Calculation Agent and will, in the absence of manifest error,
be conclusive for all purposes and binding on the Company and Holders of the
Notes.

authorized denominations for the unredeemed portion hereof shall be issued in
the name of the Holder hereof upon the surrender hereof.

            If so specified on the face of this Note, this Note will be subject

form duly completed are received by the Trustee by such fifth Business Day.
Exercise of the repayment option shall be irrevocable.

            If any Event of Default with respect to the Notes shall occur and be
continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount
of the Outstanding Notes may declare the principal of all the Notes due and
payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.

            The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided,
the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
Company and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series to be
affected under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the
consent of the Holders of 66-2/3% in aggregate principal amount of the

Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified
percentages in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of each series at
the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of each series,
to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and
certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such
consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note shall be conclusive and binding
upon such Holder and upon future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued
upon the registration of

                                      -9-

transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof whether or not notation
of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note.

            Holders of Securities may not enforce their rights pursuant to the
Indenture or the Securities except as provided in the Indenture. No reference
herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or the Indenture shall
alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and
unconditional, to pay the Cash Settlement Value with respect to this Note at the
time, place, and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.

principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

            The Notes are issuable only in registered form without coupons in
denominations of $1,000 or any amount in excess thereof which is an integral
multiple of $1,000. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain
limitations therein set forth, this Note is exchangeable for a like aggregate
principal amount of Notes of different authorized denomination as requested by
the Holder surrendering the same.

            No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer
or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover
any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

            Prior to the due presentment of this Note for registration of
transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee
