THIS OPTION AGREEMENT is made as of the 29th day of October 2004 between ANGEION CORPORATION, a Minnesota corporation (the “Company”), and                    , a director of the Company (the “Optionee”).

WHEREAS, the Company desires, by affording the Optionee an opportunity to purchase shares of its Common Stock, $0.10 par value (the “Common Stock”), as hereinafter provided, to carry out the purpose of the 2002 Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”) of the Company approved by its shareholders;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants hereinafter set forth and for other good and valuable consideration, the parties hereto have agreed, and do hereby agree, as follows:

1.             Grant of Option.  The Company hereby grants to the Optionee the right and Option (hereinafter called the “Option”) to purchase from the Company all or any part of an aggregate amount of                   shares of Common Stock of the Company on the terms and conditions herein set forth.

2.             Purchase Price.  The purchase price of the shares of the Common Stock covered by this option shall be $6.23 per share.

3.             Term of Option.  The term of the Option shall be for a period of ten (10) years from the date hereof (the “Option Date”), subject to earlier termination as hereinafter provided.

4.             Exercise of Option.  The Option shall be exercisable in full from the Option Date.

5.             Non-Transferability.  The Option shall not be transferable otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and the Option may be exercised, during the lifetime of the Optionee, only by the Optionee.  More particularly (but without limiting the generality of the foregoing), the Option may not be assigned, transferred (except as provided above), pledged, or hypothecated in any way; shall not be assignable by operation of law; and shall not be subject to execution, attachment, or similar process.  Any attempted assignment, transfer, pledge, hypothecation, or other disposition of the Option contrary to the provisions hereof, and the levy of any execution, attachment, or similar process upon the Option, shall be null and void and without effect.

                6.             Method of Exercising Option.  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Option Agreement, the Option may be exercised by written notice to the Chief Financial Officer of the Company at the principal office of the Company.  Such notice shall state the election to exercise the Option and the number of shares being exercised, and shall be signed by the person so exercising the Option.  Such notice shall be accompanied by payment of the full purchase price of such shares, which payment shall be made in cash or by certified check or bank draft payable to the Company or by delivery of shares of Common Stock already owned by Optionee (which in the case of Common Stock acquired upon exercise of an option, has been owned for more than six (6) months on the date of surrender).  The certificate or certificates for the shares as to which the Option shall have been so exercised shall be registered in the name of the person so exercising the Option, or if the Optionee so elects, in the name of the Optionee and one other person as joint tenants, and shall be delivered as soon as practicable after the notice shall have been received.  In the event any person other than the Optionee shall exercise the Option, such notice shall be accompanied by appropriate proof of the right of such person to exercise the Option.  All shares that shall be purchased upon the exercise of the Option as provided herein shall be fully paid and non-assessable.

7.             Stock Plan.  This Option is subject to certain additional terms and conditions set forth in the 2002 Stock Option Plan pursuant to which this Option has been issued.  A copy of the 2002 Stock Option Plan is on file with the Secretary of the Company and each Option holder by acceptance hereof agrees to and accepts this Option subject to the terms of the 2002 Stock Option Plan.

8.             General.  The Company shall at all times during the term of the Option reserve and keep available such number of shares of Common Stock as will be sufficient to satisfy the requirements of this Option Agreement, shall pay all original issue and transfer taxes with respect to the issue and transfer of shares pursuant hereto and all other fees and expenses necessarily incurred by the Company in connection therewith, and will from time to time use its best efforts to comply with all laws and regulations which, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, shall be applicable thereto.

9.             Status.  Neither the Optionee nor the Optionee’s executor, administrator, heirs, or legatees shall be or have any rights or privileges of a shareholder of the Company in respect of the shares transferable upon exercise of the Option granted hereunder, unless and until certificates representing such shares shall be endorsed, transferred, and delivered and the transferee has caused the Optionee’s name to be entered as the shareholder of record on the books of the Company.

10.           Company Authority.  The existence of the Option herein granted shall not affect in any way the right or power of the Company or its stockholders to make or authorize any or all adjustments, recapitalizations, reorganizations or other changes in the Company’s capital structure or its business or any merger or consolidation of the Company, or any issue of bonds, debentures, preferred or prior preference stock ahead of or affecting the Common Stock of the Company of the rights thereof, or dissolution or liquidation of the Company, or any sale or transfer of all or any part of its assets or business, or any other corporate act or proceeding, whether of a similar character or otherwise.
