Very truly yours,

The Board of Directors of CryoLife, Inc. has adopted this Code of Business Conduct and Ethics to clarify the standards under which CryoLife and its Board of Directors operate and the principles under which the Board and all CryoLife officers and employees carry out their duties. CryoLife, Inc. and its subsidiaries and divisions are referred to collectively in this Code as CryoLife. The Board of Directors may revise this Code from time to time and will make publicly available any changes as they are adopted. A copy of the Code, as amended, shall be posted on the CryoLife, Inc. website. Nothing in the Code is intended or will be considered (i) to amend the Restated Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws of CryoLife, (ii) to change the legal duties imposed upon employees, officers or directors under Florida, federal and other applicable statutes, rules and regulations or (iii) to change any rights of the employees, officers or directors, to indemnification under Florida and other applicable law or CryoLifes Restated Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws or otherwise. References herein to federal, state, local or other applicable laws refer to the laws of the United States and all other applicable jurisdictions.
This Code applies to all employees, officers and directors of CryoLife, Inc. It is important to the success of the Code that each employee, officer and director of CryoLife understands that:
| o | He or she is personally responsible for his or her own conduct in complying with this Code and for promptly reporting known or suspected violations to the individual designated for this purpose. |
| o | No one has the authority or right to order, direct, request or even attempt to influence someone else to violate this Code or the law. Thus, no one will be excused for violating this Code or the law at the direction or request of someone else. |
| o | Any attempt by any employee, officer or director to have another employee, officer or director violate this Code, whether successful or not, shall be a violation of this Code and may be a violation of law. |
| o | Any retaliation or threat to retaliate against an employee, officer or director for refusing to violate this Code or for reporting in good faith a violation or a suspected violation of this Code shall be a violation of this Code and may be a violation of law. |
| o | Every suspected violation of this Code by an employee, officer or director will be investigated and every actual violation will constitute grounds for removal of such director and for dismissal of such employee or officer. |
The highest legal, moral and ethical standards of honesty, integrity and fairness are to be practiced in the conduct of CryoLifes affairs. All employees, officers and directors of CryoLife must always act in full compliance with all applicable United States and foreign, federal, state, local and other laws, ordinances and regulations and with this Code. Failure to do so or to report promptly apparent violations of law or this Code may result in removal, dismissal, or other appropriate disciplinary action.
