Law authorizes a court to award, or a corporation&#146;s board of directors to
grant, indemnity to directors and officers in terms sufficiently broad to
permit such indemnification under certain circumstances for liabilities
(including reimbursement for expenses incurred) arising under the Securities
Act.&#160; As permitted by the Delaware
General Corporation Law, the Company&#146;s Amended and Restated Certificate of
Incorporation includes provisions that (i)&nbsp;eliminate, to the fullest
extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, the personal
liability of its directors for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as
a director, and (ii)&nbsp;require the Company to advance expenses, as incurred,
to its directors and officers in connection with a legal proceeding to the
fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, subject to
certain very limited exceptions.</font></p>

the Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company provides that (i)&nbsp;the
Company is required to indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest
extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, (ii)&nbsp;the Company
may indemnify any other person as set forth in the Delaware General Corporation
Law, and (iii)&nbsp;the rights conferred in the Amended and Restated Bylaws are

of the Underwriting Agreement, which provides for the indemnification of
officers, directors and controlling persons of the Company against certain
liabilities.&#160; The indemnification

and Amended and Restated Bylaws may be sufficiently broad to permit
indemnification of the Company&#146;s directors and officers for liabilities arising

PART II
INFORMATION REQUIRED IN REGISTRATION STATEMENT
Item 3.
Incorporation of Documents
by Reference.
The following documents, which have been filed by AGA Medical Holdings, Inc.
(the "Company") with the Commission, are hereby incorporated by reference in
this Registration Statement:
1.
The Company's Prospectus
dated October 20, 2009, filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the
Securities Act
of
1933, as amended (the ''Securities Act'')
(Registration No. 333-151822)
on October 21, 2009;
2.
The description of the Company's common
stock contained in its Registration Statement on Form 8-A filed with the
Commission on October 15, 2009 pursuant to Section 12(b) of the
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), including any amendment
or report updating such description.
All documents subsequently filed by the Company pursuant to Sections
13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, after the date of this
Registration Statement and prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment to
this Registration Statement which indicates that all securities offered hereby
have been sold or which deregisters all securities then remaining unsold, shall
be deemed to be incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement and to
be a part hereof from the date of filing of such documents. Any statement
contained in a document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference
herein shall be deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes of this
Registration Statement to the extent that a statement contained herein or in
any other subsequently filed document which also is or is deemed to be
incorporated by reference herein modifies or supersedes such statement. Any
such statement so modified or superseded shall not be deemed, except as so
modified or superseded, to constitute a part of this Registration Statement.
Item 4. Description of Securities.
Not applicable.
Item 5.
Interest of
Named Experts and Counsel.
Ronald E. Lund, Esq., whose legal opinion with respect to the
securities registered hereunder is filed as Exhibit 5.1 hereto, is an
employee of the Company and participates in the Plans and other benefit plans
established by the Company.

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation
Law authorizes a court to award, or a corporation's board of directors to
grant, indemnity to directors and officers in terms sufficiently broad to
permit such indemnification under certain circumstances for liabilities
(including reimbursement for expenses incurred) arising under the Securities
Act.  As permitted by the Delaware
General Corporation Law, the Company's Amended and Restated Certificate of
Incorporation includes provisions that (i) eliminate, to the fullest
extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, the personal
liability of its directors for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as
a director, and (ii) require the Company to advance expenses, as incurred,
to its directors and officers in connection with a legal proceeding to the
fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, subject to
certain very limited exceptions.
As permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law,
the Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company provides that (i) the
Company is required to indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest
extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, (ii) the Company
may indemnify any other person as set forth in the Delaware General Corporation
Law, and (iii) the rights conferred in the Amended and Restated Bylaws are
not exclusive.
At present, there is no pending litigation or
proceeding involving a director, officer or employee of the Company regarding
which indemnification is sought, nor is the Company aware of any threatened
litigation that may result in claims for indemnification.
Reference is also made to Section 8
of the Underwriting Agreement, which provides for the indemnification of
officers, directors and controlling persons of the Company against certain
liabilities.  The indemnification
provision in the Company's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation
and Amended and Restated Bylaws may be sufficiently broad to permit
indemnification of the Company's directors and officers for liabilities arising
under the Securities Act.
The Company currently
maintains liability insurance for its directors and officers. The Company
expects to obtain additional liability insurance for its directors and officers.
Such insurance would be available to the Company's directors and officers in
accordance with its terms.
Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.
Not applicable.
Item 8. 
Exhibits.
For a list of exhibits, see the Exhibit Index
in this Registration Statement, which is incorporated into this Item by
reference.
Item 9. Undertakings.
(a)
The Company
hereby undertakes:
(1)
To file, during
any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment
to this registration statement:
(i)
To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of
the Securities Act;
(ii)
To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events
arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most
recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the
aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the
registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease
in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities
offered
4
would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the
low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the
form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if,
in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20%
change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of
Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement;
(iii)
To include any material information with respect to
the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement
or any material change to such information in the registration statement;
Provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do
not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective
amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished
to the Securities and Exchange Commission by the Company pursuant to Section 13
or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by
reference in the registration statement.
(2)
That, for the
purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such
post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3)
To remove from
registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being
registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(b)
The Company
hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the
Securities Act, each filing of the Company's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or
Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing
of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of
the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the registration
statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time
shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c)
Insofar as indemnification
for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors,
officers and controlling persons of the Company pursuant to the foregoing
provisions, or otherwise, the Company has been advised that in the opinion of
the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public
policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event
that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the
payment by the Company of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or
controlling person of the Company in the successful defense of any action, suit
or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the Company will, unless in
the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
