22
8. Indemnity and Contribution. (a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Initial Purchaser, each person, if any, who controls the Initial Purchaser within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and each affiliate of the Initial Purchaser within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including, without limitation, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with defending or investigating any such action or claim) that arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Preliminary Memorandum, the Time of Sale Memorandum, any Additional Written Offering Communication prepared by or on behalf of, used by, or referred to by the Company, any General Solicitation made by the Company, any “road show” as defined in Rule 433(h) under the Securities Act (a “road show”), the Final Memorandum or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of, or are based upon, any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary to make the statements therein in the light of the circumstances under which they were made not misleading, except insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities arise out of, or are based upon, by any such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with any information relating to the Initial Purchaser furnished to the Company in writing by the Initial Purchaser expressly for use therein, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by the Initial Purchaser consists of the information described as such in paragraph (b) below.
(b) The Initial Purchaser agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, its officers and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company to the Initial Purchaser, but only with reference to information relating to the Initial Purchaser furnished to the Company in writing by the Initial Purchaser expressly for use in the Preliminary Memorandum, the Time of Sale Memorandum, any Additional Written Offering Communication set forth in Schedule II hereto, road show, General Solicitation set forth in Schedule II hereto, the Final Memorandum or any amendment or supplement thereto.
(c) In case any proceeding (including any governmental investigation) shall be instituted involving any person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to Section 8(a) or 8(b), such person (the “indemnified party”) shall promptly notify the person against whom such indemnity may be sought (the “indemnifying party”) in writing and the indemnifying party, upon request of the indemnified party, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party and any others the indemnifying party may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the reasonably incurred fees and disbursements of such counsel related to such proceeding. In any such proceeding, any indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have mutually agreed in writing to the retention of such counsel or (ii) the
23
named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. It is understood that the indemnifying party shall not, in respect of the legal expenses of any indemnified party in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all such indemnified parties and that all such reasonably incurred fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. Such firm shall be designated in writing by the Initial Purchaser, in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 8(a), and by the Company, in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 8(b). The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by the second and third sentences of this paragraph, the indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 30 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request and (ii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed the indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding.
(d) To the extent the indemnification provided for in Section 8(a) or 8(b) is unavailable to an indemnified party or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then each indemnifying party under such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Initial Purchaser on the other hand from the offering of the Securities or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause 8(d)(i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause 8(d)(i) above but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the Initial Purchaser on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Initial
24
Purchaser on the other hand in connection with the offering of the Securities shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the net proceeds from the offering of the Securities (before deducting expenses) received by the Company and the total discounts and commissions received by the Initial Purchaser bear to the aggregate offering price of the Securities. The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the Initial Purchaser on the other hand shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or by the Initial Purchaser and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.
(e) The Company and the Initial Purchaser agree that it would not be just or equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 8 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in Section 8(d). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in Section 8(d) shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8, the Initial Purchaser shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Securities resold by it in the initial placement of such Securities were offered to investors exceeds the amount of any damages that the Initial Purchaser has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The remedies provided for in this Section 8 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any indemnified party at law or in equity.
(f) The indemnity and contribution provisions contained in this Section 8 and the representations, warranties and other statements of the Company contained in this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any termination of this Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by or on behalf of the Initial Purchaser, any person controlling the Initial Purchaser or any affiliate of the Initial Purchaser or by or on behalf of the Company, its officers or directors or any person controlling the Company and (iii) acceptance of and payment for any of the Securities.
9. Termination. The Initial Purchaser may terminate this Agreement by notice given by the Initial Purchaser to the Company, if after the execution and delivery of this Agreement and prior to or on the Closing Date, or any Option Closing Date, as the case may be, (i) trading generally shall have been suspended or materially limited on, or by, as the case may be, any of the New York Stock Exchange, the NYSE American, or the
25
NASDAQ Global Market, (ii) trading of any securities of the Company shall have been suspended on any exchange or in any over-the-counter market, (iii) a material disruption in securities settlement, payment or clearance services in the United States shall have occurred, (iv) any moratorium on commercial banking activities shall have been declared by Federal or New York State authorities or (v) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities, or any change in financial markets or any calamity or crisis that, in the Initial Purchaser’s judgment, is material and adverse and which, singly or together with any other event specified in this clause (v), makes it, in the Initial Purchaser’s judgment, impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offer, sale or delivery of the Securities on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Time of Sale Memorandum or the Final Memorandum.
10. Effectiveness; Defaulting Initial Purchaser. This Agreement shall become effective upon the execution and delivery hereof by the parties hereto.
If, on the Closing Date the Initial Purchaser shall fail or refuse to purchase the Firm Securities which it has agreed to purchase hereunder on such date, and arrangements satisfactory to the Initial Purchaser and the Company for the purchase of such Firm Securities are not made within 36 hours after such default, this Agreement shall terminate without liability on the part of the Company, except that the provisions of Sections 8 and 11 hereof shall at all times be effective and shall survive such termination. In any such case either the Initial Purchaser or the Company shall have the right to postpone the Closing Date, but in no event for longer than seven days, in order that the required changes, if any, in the Time of Sale Memorandum, the Final Memorandum or in any other documents or arrangements may be effected. Any action taken under this paragraph shall not relieve the Initial Purchaser from liability in respect of any default of the Initial Purchaser under this Agreement.
If this Agreement shall be terminated by the Initial Purchaser because of any failure or refusal on the part of the Company to comply with the terms or to fulfill any of the conditions of this Agreement other than by reason of default by the Initial Purchaser, or if for any reason the Company shall be unable to perform its obligations under this Agreement other than by reason of default by the Initial Purchaser, the Company will reimburse the Initial Purchaser for all out-of-pocket expenses (including the fees and disbursements of its counsel) reasonably incurred by the Initial Purchaser in connection with this Agreement or the offering contemplated hereunder.
11. Entire Agreement.

(b) The Company acknowledges that in connection with the offering of the Securities: (i) the Initial Purchaser has acted at arms length, is not an agent of, and owes no fiduciary duties to, the Company or any other person, (ii) the Initial Purchaser owes the Company only those duties and obligations set forth in this Agreement, any contemporaneous written agreements and prior written agreements (to the extent not superseded by this Agreement) if any, and (iii) the Initial Purchaser may have interests that differ from those of the Company. The Company waives to the full extent permitted by applicable law any claims it may have against the Initial Purchaser arising from an alleged breach of fiduciary duty in connection with the offering of the Securities.
12. Recognition of the U.S. Special Resolution Regimes. (a) In the event that the Initial Purchaser is a Covered Entity that becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer from the Initial Purchaser of this Agreement, and any interest and obligation in or under this Agreement, will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement, and any such interest and obligation, were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.
(b) In the event that the Initial Purchaser is a Covered Entity and the Initial Purchaser or a BHC Act Affiliate of the Initial Purchaser becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under this Agreement that may be exercised against the Initial Purchaser are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

Re: CryoLife, Inc. — Rule 144A Offering
Ladies and Gentlemen:
The undersigned understands that you, as Representative of the several Initial Purchasers (as defined below), propose to enter into a Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with CryoLife, Inc., a Florida corporation (the “Company”), providing for the purchase and resale (the “Offering”) by the several Initial Purchasers named in Schedule I to the Purchase Agreement (the “Initial Purchasers”), of Convertible Senior Notes of the Company (the “Securities”). The Securities will be convertible into cash, shares of the common stock, $0.01 per share par value, of the Company (the “Common Stock”) or a combination of cash and Common Stock, at the Company’s election. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings set forth in the Purchase Agreement.
To induce the Initial Purchasers that may participate in the Offering to continue their efforts in connection with the Offering, the undersigned hereby agrees that, without the prior written consent of Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx & Co. LLC (the “Representative”) on behalf of the Initial Purchasers, it will not, and will not publicly disclose an intention to, during the period commencing on the date hereof and ending 60 days after the date of the final offering memorandum (the “Restricted Period”) relating to the Offering (the “Final Memorandum”), (1) offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, lend, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of Common Stock beneficially owned (as such term is used in Rule 13d-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), by the undersigned or any other securities so owned convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock or (2) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Common Stock, whether any such transaction described in clause (1) or (2) above is to be settled by delivery of Common Stock or such other securities, in cash or otherwise. The foregoing sentence shall not apply to:
1
(a) transactions relating to shares of Common Stock or other securities acquired in open market transactions after the completion of the Offering, provided that no filing under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act shall be required or shall be voluntarily made in connection with subsequent sales of Common Stock or other securities acquired in such open market transactions;
(b) transfers of shares of Common Stock or any security convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock as a bona fide gift;

(d) transfers or other dispositions by will, other testamentary document or intestate succession upon the death of the undersigned, or by operation of law, such as pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order or in connection with a divorce settlement, provided that any filing under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act required to be made during the Restricted Period in connection with any such transfer or disposition shall indicate by footnote disclosure or otherwise the nature of the transfer or disposition;
(e) the receipt by the undersigned from the Company of shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of options, warrants, restricted stock units or other equity awards pursuant to any employee benefit plans or arrangements described in the Time of Sale Memorandum (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) and the Final Memorandum (including through incorporation by reference), provided that any shares of Common Stock received pursuant to this clause (e) shall be subject to the restrictions on transferability contained in this agreement, provided further that any filing under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act required to be made during the Restricted Period in connection with such transaction shall indicate by footnote disclosure or otherwise (i) the nature of the transaction and (ii) that any shares of Common Stock received pursuant to this clause (e) are subject to the restrictions on transferability contained in this agreement;
(f) dispositions or transfers of shares of Common Stock or any security convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock by the undersigned to the Company solely (i) in connection with the “net” or “cashless” exercise of options or other rights to acquire shares of Common Stock granted pursuant to an equity incentive plan, employee compensation plan or other arrangement described in the Time of Sale Memorandum (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) and the Final Memorandum, or (ii) in satisfaction of tax withholding obligations in connection with any such exercise or the vesting of restricted stock, provided that any shares of Common Stock or other securities received upon any such exercise or vesting contemplated by this clause (f) shall be subject to the restrictions on transferability contained in this agreement, provided further that any filing under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act required to be made during the Restricted Period in connection with any such transfer or disposition shall indicate by footnote disclosure or otherwise (i) the nature of the transfer or disposition and (ii) any shares of Common Stock received upon any such exercise or vesting contemplated by this clause (f) are subject to the restrictions on transferability contained in this agreement;

(h) transfer of shares of Common Stock or any security convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock to or from any immediate family member of the undersigned or a trust, partnership, limited liability company or other entity for the direct or indirect benefit of the undersigned or the immediate family of the undersigned. For purposes of this clause (h), “immediate family member” shall mean any relationship by blood, current or former marriage or domestic partnership or adoption, not more remote than first cousin;
(i) the establishment of a trading plan pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act for the transfer of shares of Common Stock (including shares acquired upon the exercise, conversion or exchange of any security convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock); provided that (i) such plan does not provide for the transfer of Common Stock during the Restricted Period and (ii) to the extent a public announcement or filing under the Exchange Act, if any, is required of or voluntarily made by or on behalf of the undersigned or the Company regarding the establishment of such plan, such announcement or filing shall include a statement to the effect that no transfer of Common Stock may be made under such plan during the Restricted Period;
(j) sales, transfers or other dispositions pursuant to a trading plan pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act for the transfer of shares of Common Stock that has been entered into by the undersigned prior to the date hereof of which the Representative has received notice, provided that any filing made under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act includes a footnote that expressly states that the sale was made pursuant to an existing 10b5-1 Plan; or

provided that in the case of any transfer or distribution pursuant to clauses (b), (c), (d), (g) or (h), each donee, transferee, heir, beneficiary or distributee shall sign and deliver a lock-up letter substantially in the form of this letter, provided further that in the case of any transfer or distribution pursuant to clauses (b), (c), (g) or (h), no filing under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act by the undersigned, reporting a reduction in beneficial ownership of shares of Common Stock, shall be required or shall be voluntarily made during the Restricted Period.
3
In addition, the undersigned agrees that, without the prior written consent of the Representative on behalf of the Initial Purchasers, it will not, during the Restricted Period, make any demand for or exercise any right with respect to, the registration of any shares of Common Stock or any security convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock. The undersigned also agrees and consents to the entry of stop transfer instructions with the Company’s transfer agent and registrar against the transfer of the undersigned’s shares of Common Stock except in compliance with the foregoing restrictions.
The undersigned understands that the Company and the Initial Purchasers are relying upon this agreement in proceeding toward consummation of the Offering. The undersigned further understands that this agreement is irrevocable and shall be binding upon the undersigned’s heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns.
Whether or not the Offering actually occurs depends on a number of factors, including market conditions. Any Offering will only be made pursuant to a Purchase Agreement, the terms of which are subject to negotiation between the Company and the Initial Purchasers.
This letter shall automatically terminate upon the earliest to occur, if any, of (a) the date the Company advises the Representative, in writing, prior to the execution of the Purchase Agreement, that it has determined not to proceed with the Offering, (b) the date of the termination of the Purchase Agreement (without regard to any provisions thereof that survive termination) if prior to the sale of any Securities pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, or (c) August 30, 2020 if, and only if, the Purchase Agreement has not been executed by such date.
This agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.
This agreement may be signed and delivered via facsimile, electronic mail (including any electronic signature covered by the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000, Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, the Electronic Signatures and Records Act or other applicable law, e.g., xxx.xxxxxxxx.xxx) or other transmission method and any signature so delivered shall be deemed to have been duly and validly delivered and be valid and effective for all purposes.
