corporate law or obtained an improper personal benefit. Greatbatch&#146;s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation contains a provision which, in substance, eliminates directors&#146; personal liability as set forth in Section&nbsp;102 of
the DGCL. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:8%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Section&nbsp;145 of the DGCL provides that a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be
made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation or is or was
serving at its request in such capacity in another corporation or business association against expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such
action, suit or proceeding if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, he or she had no
reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. Greatbatch&#146;s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that each person who was or is made or is threatened to be made a party to, or to testifies in, any action or
proceeding by reason of the fact that such person is or was our director, officer, employee or agent or, while a director, officer, employee or agent of ours, that person is or was serving at our request as a director, officer, employee or agent of
another corporation, partnership, joint venture, employee benefit plan, trust or other enterprise, will be indemnified and held harmless by us to the fullest extent authorized by the DGCL, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended to provide
broader indemnification rights than authorized prior to such amendment. Such rights are not exclusive of any other right that any person may have or thereafter acquire under any statute, any provision of Greatbatch&#146;s Amended and Restated
Certificate of Incorporation or Amended and Restated Bylaws, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise. Greatbatch&#146;s Amended and Restated Bylaws also specifically authorized us to maintain insurance against such
actions. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:8%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Greatbatch has entered into indemnification agreements with each of its director and certain of its officer that provide that it
shall, subject to certain exceptions, indemnify and pay, advance or reimburse the costs of defense of such person who is made party to a proceeding by reason of their indemnified capacities. Each indemnified party agrees to repay any payment,
advance or reimbursement of expenses made by Greatbatch to such person if it is determined, following the final disposition of the claim, that the person is not entitled to indemnification by Greatbatch with respect to a claim for which
indemnification was obtained. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:8%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Greatbatch also maintain an insurance policy insuring its directors and officers against liability for
certain acts and omissions while acting in such capacities on behalf of Greatbatch, subject to applicable retentions. </P> <P STYLE="font-size:18pt;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt">&nbsp;</P>

Item 6.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section 102 of the General Corporation
Law of the State of Delaware (the "DGCL") allows a corporation to eliminate the personal liability of directors to the corporation or to any of its stockholders for monetary damages for a breach of his fiduciary duty as a director, except
in the case where the director breached his duty of loyalty, failed to act in good faith, engaged in intentional misconduct or knowingly violated a law, authorized the payment of a dividend or approved a stock repurchase in violation of Delaware
corporate law or obtained an improper personal benefit. Greatbatch's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation contains a provision which, in substance, eliminates directors' personal liability as set forth in Section 102 of
the DGCL.
Section 145 of the DGCL provides that a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be
made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation or is or was
serving at its request in such capacity in another corporation or business association against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such
action, suit or proceeding if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, he or she had no
reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. Greatbatch's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that each person who was or is made or is threatened to be made a party to, or to testifies in, any action or
proceeding by reason of the fact that such person is or was our director, officer, employee or agent or, while a director, officer, employee or agent of ours, that person is or was serving at our request as a director, officer, employee or agent of
another corporation, partnership, joint venture, employee benefit plan, trust or other enterprise, will be indemnified and held harmless by us to the fullest extent authorized by the DGCL, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended to provide
broader indemnification rights than authorized prior to such amendment. Such rights are not exclusive of any other right that any person may have or thereafter acquire under any statute, any provision of Greatbatch's Amended and Restated
Certificate of Incorporation or Amended and Restated Bylaws, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise. Greatbatch's Amended and Restated Bylaws also specifically authorized us to maintain insurance against such
actions.
Greatbatch has entered into indemnification agreements with each of its director and certain of its officer that provide that it
shall, subject to certain exceptions, indemnify and pay, advance or reimburse the costs of defense of such person who is made party to a proceeding by reason of their indemnified capacities. Each indemnified party agrees to repay any payment,
advance or reimbursement of expenses made by Greatbatch to such person if it is determined, following the final disposition of the claim, that the person is not entitled to indemnification by Greatbatch with respect to a claim for which
indemnification was obtained.
Greatbatch also maintain an insurance policy insuring its directors and officers against liability for
certain acts and omissions while acting in such capacities on behalf of Greatbatch, subject to applicable retentions.
Item 7.
Exemption from Registration Claimed.
Not applicable.
Item 8.
Exhibits.
The list of exhibits to this Registration Statement is incorporated by
reference to the Exhibit Index below.
Item 9.
Undertakings.
(a)    The undersigned registrant 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 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 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration
Fee" table in the effective registration statement; and
2
(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) of this section do not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-8 and the
information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act
that are incorporated by reference in this 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 undersigned registrant
hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrant'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.
(h)    Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers
and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and
is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant 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 registrant 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 of 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.
