Article 1
STOCKHOLDERS
Section 1.1     ANNUAL MEETINGS. (a) The annual meeting of the holders of such classes or series of capital stock as are entitled to notice thereof and to vote thereat pursuant to the provisions of the restated certificate of incorporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation”) of Integer Holdings Corporation (the “Corporation”) for the election of directors and for the transaction of such other business as may properly be brought before the meeting shall be held on such date as may be designated by resolution of the Board of Directors or, in the event that no such date is so designated, on the fourth Thursday in May of each year, at such hour (within ordinary business hours) as shall be stated in the notice of the meeting. If the day so designated shall be a legal holiday, then such meeting shall be held on the next succeeding business day. Each annual meeting of stockholders shall be held at such place, within or without the State of Delaware, as shall be determined by the Board of Directors.
(b)    An annual meeting of stockholders may be adjourned by the presiding officer of the meeting for any reason (including, if the presiding officer determines that it would be in the best interests of the Corporation, to extend the period of time for the solicitation of proxies) from time to time and place to place until such presiding officer shall determine that the business to be conducted at the meeting is completed, which determination shall be conclusive.
(c)    The only business that shall be conducted at an annual meeting of stockholders shall be that which shall have been properly brought before the annual meeting. To be properly brought before an annual meeting, business must be (i) specified in the notice of meeting (or any supplements or addenda thereto) given by or at the direction of the Board of Directors, (ii) brought before the annual meeting by or at the direction of the Board of Directors, or (iii) brought before the annual meeting by a stockholder that (A) is a stockholder of record at the time of giving of notice provided for in this Section 1.1 of these By-laws and at the time of the annual meeting, (B) is entitled to vote at the annual meeting, (C) proposes the business be conducted at the annual meeting pursuant to timely notice in proper written form to the Secretary of the Corporation, and (D) otherwise complies with the procedures set forth in this Section 1.1 of these By-laws.

1


days nor more than 120 calendar days prior to the date that represents the fourth Thursday in May of the current year); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that in the event that the date of the annual meeting is advanced by more than 20 calendar days, or delayed by more than 60 calendar days, from such anniversary date, then, to be considered timely, notice by the stockholder must be received not later than the close of business on the later of (x) the 90th calendar day prior to the annual meeting or (y) the seventh calendar day following the date on which notice of the date of the annual meeting was mailed to stockholders or public disclosure thereof was otherwise made. In no event shall any postponement or adjournment of an annual meeting commence a new time period for the giving of a stockholder’s notice as described above.
(e)    To be in proper written form, a stockholder’s notice to the Secretary shall set forth as to each matter the stockholder proposes to bring before the annual meeting: (i) a description in reasonable detail of the business desired to be brought before the annual meeting and the reasons for transacting such business at the annual meeting; (ii) the text of the proposal or business (including the text of any resolution for consideration and in the event that such business includes a proposal to amend these By-laws, the language of the proposed amendment); (iii) the name and address, as they appear on the Corporation’s most recent stockholder lists, of the stockholder proposing such proposal and any Stockholder Related Person (as defined below); (iv) a representation that the stockholder giving the notice is a holder of record of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote at such annual meeting and intends (A) to be a holder of record of stock of the Corporation at the time of the annual meeting and (B) to appear in person or by proxy at the annual meeting to propose the business specified in the notice; (v) the class and number of shares of any securities of the Corporation that are beneficially owned or held of record by the stockholder giving the notice or any Stockholder Related Person; (vi) a description of (A) any derivative positions in any securities of the Corporation directly or indirectly held or beneficially owned by the stockholder or any Stockholder Related Person and (B) any hedging or other transaction or series of transactions, agreement, arrangement or understanding with respect to any of the Corporation’s securities entered into or made by such stockholder or any Stockholder Related Person; (vii) a description of all contracts, arrangements, relationships or understandings between or among such stockholder, any Stockholder Related Person and any other person(s) (including their names) in connection with the proposal of such business, and any material interest of the stockholder or any Stockholder Related Person in such business; (viii) any other information relating to the stockholder that would be required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filings required to be made in connection with solicitations of proxies for the proposal pursuant to Section 14 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) (whether or not such stockholder intends to deliver a proxy statement or conduct its own proxy solicitation); and (ix) a statement as to whether either such stockholder, beneficial owner or Stockholder Related Person intends to deliver a proxy statement and form of proxy to the holders of at least the percentage of shares of the Corporation entitled to vote that is required to approve such proposal. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in order to include information relating to a stockholder proposal in the Corporation’s proxy statement and form of proxy for an annual meeting of stockholders, a stockholder must provide notice as required by, and otherwise comply with, all of the content, procedural and other requirements of Rule 14a-8 of Regulation 14A under the Exchange Act, irrespective of whether the Corporation is then subject to such Rule or the Exchange Act. In addition, if the stockholder’s ownership of shares

2


of the Corporation, as set forth in the notice, is solely beneficial (and not of record) documentary evidence satisfactory to the Corporation of such ownership must accompany the notice in order for such notice to be considered validly and timely received. A “Stockholder Related Person” of any stockholder means (1) any person controlling, directly or indirectly, or acting in concert with, such stockholder, (2) any beneficial owner of shares of stock of the Corporation owned of record or beneficially by such stockholder, and (3) any person controlling, controlled by or under common control with, such Stockholder Related Person.

(g)    The presiding officer at an annual meeting shall, if the facts warrant, determine and declare to the meeting that any business which was not properly brought before the meeting is out of order and shall not be transacted at the meeting.
Section 1.2    SPECIAL MEETINGS. Special meetings of stockholders for the transaction of such business as may properly come before the meeting may be called by order of the Board of Directors, the Chairman of the Board, or the Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation, and shall be held at such place, date and time, within or without the State of Delaware, as may be specified by such order. Whenever the directors shall fail to fix the place of a special meeting, the meeting shall be held at the principal executive office of the Corporation. To be properly brought before a special meeting, business must be (i) specified in the notice of the meeting (or any supplements or addenda thereto) given in accordance with Article 1, Section 1.3 of these By-laws or (ii) otherwise properly brought before the meeting by the presiding officer or by or at the direction of a majority of the Board of Directors. The presiding officer at a special meeting shall, if the facts warrant, determine and declare to the meeting that any business that was not properly brought before the meeting is out of order and shall not be transacted at the meeting. A special meeting of stockholders may be adjourned by the presiding officer of the meeting for any reason (including, if the presiding officer determines that it would be in the best interests of the Corporation, to extend the period of time for the solicitation of proxies) from time to time and place to place until such presiding officer shall determine that the business to be conducted at the meeting is completed, which determination shall be conclusive.
Section 1.3    NOTICE OF MEETINGS. Written notice of all meetings of the stockholders, stating the place, date and hour of the meeting and the place within the city or other

3


municipality or community at which the list of stockholders may be examined, shall be mailed or delivered to each stockholder not less than 10 nor more than 60 days prior to the meeting. Notice of any special meeting shall state with reasonable specificity the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is to be held and the business proposed to be transacted thereat. When a meeting is adjourned to another time or place, notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting if the time and place thereof are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken; provided, however, that if the date of any adjourned meeting is more than 30 days after the date for which the meeting was originally noticed, or if a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, notice of the place, if any, date, and time of the adjourned meeting shall be given in conformity herewith.
Section 1.4    STOCKHOLDER LISTS. The officer who has charge of the stock ledger of the Corporation shall prepare and make, at least 10 days before every meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, arranged in alphabetical order, and showing the address of each stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting, for a period of at least 10 calendar days prior to the meeting, (i) on a reasonably accessible electronic network, provided that the information received to gain access to such list is provided with the notice of the meeting or (ii) during ordinary business hours either at a place within the city where the meeting is to be held, which place shall be specified in the notice of the meeting, or, if not so specified, at the place where the meeting is to be held.

Section 1.5    QUORUM. Except as otherwise provided by law or the Corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation, a quorum for the transaction of business at any meeting of stockholders shall consist of the holders of record of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of the capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote at the meeting, present in person or by proxy. If there be no such quorum, the holders of a majority of such shares so present or represented may adjourn the meeting from time to time, without further notice, until a quorum shall have been obtained. At such adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be present or represented, any business may be transacted that might have been transacted at the meeting as originally notified. If the adjournment is for more than 30 days, or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting. When a quorum is once present it is not broken by the subsequent withdrawal from the meeting of any stockholder.
Section 1.6    ORGANIZATION.

Corporation, or in the Secretary’s absence an Assistant Secretary, shall act as secretary of every meeting, but if neither the Secretary nor an Assistant Secretary is present, the presiding officer of the meeting shall appoint any person present to act as secretary of the meeting.
(b)    The order of business and all other matters of procedure at every meeting of the stockholders may be determined by the presiding officer of the meeting. The presiding officer shall have all the powers and authority vested in a presiding officer by law or practice without restriction, including, without limitation, the authority, in order to conduct an orderly meeting, to announce the date and time of the opening and closing of the polls, to impose reasonable limits on the amount of time at the meeting taken up in remarks by any one stockholder and to declare any business not properly brought before the meeting to be out of order. The Board of Directors may adopt by resolution such rules and regulations for the conduct of the meeting of stockholders as it shall deem appropriate. Such rules, regulations or procedures, whether adopted by the Board of Directors or prescribed by the presiding officer of the meeting, may include, without limitation, the following: (i) the establishment of an agenda or order of business for the meeting; (ii) rules and procedures for maintaining order at the meeting and the safety of those present; (iii) limitations on attendance at or participation in the meeting to stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, their duly authorized and constituted proxies or such other persons as the presiding person of the meeting shall determine; (iv) restrictions on entry to the meeting after the time fixed for the commencement thereof; and (v) limitations on the time allotted to questions or comments by participants. The presiding officer at any meeting of stockholders, in addition to making any other determinations that may be appropriate to the conduct of the meeting, shall, if the facts warrant, determine and declare to the meeting that a matter or business was not properly brought before the meeting and if such presiding officer should so determine, such presiding person shall so declare to the meeting and any such matter or business not properly brought before the meeting shall not be transacted or considered. Unless and to the extent determined by the Board of Directors or the presiding officer, meetings of stockholders shall not be required to be held in accordance with the rules of parliamentary procedure.
Section 1.7    VOTING; PROXIES; REQUIRED VOTE. (a) Each stockholder of record shall be entitled at every meeting of stockholders to one vote for each share having voting power standing in his or her name on the record of stockholders of the Corporation on the record date fixed pursuant to Section 6.3(a) of Article 6 of these By-laws. No stockholder shall be entitled to exercise any right of cumulative voting.
(b)    Each stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders may vote in person, or may authorize another person or persons to act for him or her by proxy. Any proxy may be signed by such stockholder or his or her duly authorized attorney-in-fact, including by facsimile signature, and shall be delivered to the secretary of the meeting, or may be authorized by electronic transmission provided that it can be reasonably determined from such electronic transmission that such proxy was authorized by the stockholder. The signature of a stockholder on any proxy, including without limitation an electronic transmission, may be printed, stamped or written, or provided by other reliable reproduction, provided such signature is executed or adopted by the stockholder with intention to authenticate the proxy. No proxy shall be valid after the expiration of 11 months from the date of its execution unless otherwise provided in the proxy.

5


Every proxy shall be revocable at the pleasure of the stockholder executing it, except as otherwise provided by law or pursuant to these By-laws in respect of each matter properly presented to the meeting.
(c)    At all elections of directors, the voting may, but need not be by, ballot and a plurality of the votes cast there shall elect directors. Except as otherwise required by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or the rules and regulations of any stock exchange on which the capital stock of the Corporation is quoted or traded, in which case such express provision shall govern and control the decision of the matter, any other action shall be authorized by a majority of the votes cast. In the case of a matter submitted for a vote of the stockholders as to which a stockholder approval requirement is applicable under the stockholder approval policy of the stock exchange or quotation system on which the capital stock of the Corporation is quoted or traded, the requirements of Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act or any provision of the Internal Revenue Code, in each case for which no higher voting requirement is specified by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these By-laws, the vote required for approval shall be the requisite vote specified in such stockholder approval policy, Rule 16b-3 or Internal Revenue Code provision, as the case may be (or the highest such requirement if more than one is applicable). Broker non-votes and abstentions will be considered for purposes of establishing a quorum with respect to a particular proposal but will not be considered as votes cast for, against or withheld with respect to any proposal or director nominee.
Section 1.8    INSPECTORS. The Board of Directors shall, in advance of any meeting, appoint one or more inspectors of election to act at the meeting or any adjournment thereof and make a written report thereof. If an inspector or inspectors are not so appointed, the person presiding at the meeting shall appoint one or more inspectors. In case any person who may be appointed as an inspector fails to appear or act, the vacancy may be filled by appointment made by the directors in advance of the meeting or at the meeting by the person presiding thereat. Each inspector, before entering upon the discharge of his or her duties, shall take and sign an oath faithfully to execute the duties of inspector at such meeting with strict impartiality and according to the best of his ability. The inspectors shall (i) ascertain the number of shares outstanding and the voting power of each, (ii) determine the shares represented at a meeting, the existence of a quorum and the validity of proxies and ballots, (iii) count all votes and ballots, (iv) determine and retain for a reasonable period a record of the disposition of any challenges made to any determination by the inspectors and (v) certify their determination of the number of shares represented at the meeting, and their count of all votes and ballots. The inspectors may appoint or retain other persons or entities to assist the inspectors in the performance of the duties of the inspectors.
Section 1.9    ACTION BY WRITTEN CONSENT. Any action which is required to be or may be taken at any annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Corporation may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice to stockholders and without a vote if consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall have been signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or to take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereto were present and voted.

For purposes of this Section 1.9, a consent solicitation shall be deemed to have commenced when a proxy statement or information statement containing the information required by law is first furnished to the Corporation’s stockholders.
(b)    Consents to corporate action shall be valid for a maximum of sixty (60) days after the date of the earliest dated consent delivered to the Corporation in the manner provided in Section 228(c) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”). Consents may be revoked by written notice (i) to the Corporation, (ii) to the stockholder or stockholders soliciting consents or soliciting revocations in opposition to action by consent proposed by the Corporation (the “Soliciting Stockholders”), or (iii) to a proxy solicitor other agent designated by the Corporation or the Soliciting Stockholders.
(c)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, if independent counsel to the Corporation delivers to the Corporation a written opinion stating, or a court of competent jurisdiction determines, that this Section 1.9, or any portion thereof, is illegal with respect to any corporate action to be taken by written consent for which a consent has theretofore been delivered to the Corporation, in the manner provided in Section 228(c) of the DGCL, whether prior or subsequent to the date of the adoption of this Section 1.9, then this Section 1.9, or such portion thereof, as the case may be, shall after the date of such delivery of such opinion or such determination be null and void and of no effect with respect to any other corporate action to be taken by written consent.
(d)    Within three (3) business days after receipt of the earliest dated consent delivered to the Corporation in the manner provided in Section 228(c) of the DGCL or the determination by the Board of Directors of the Corporation that the Corporation should seek corporate action by written consent, as the case may be, the Secretary shall engage independent inspectors of elections for the purpose of performing a ministerial review of the validity of the consents and revocations. The cost of retaining inspectors of election shall be borne by the Corporation.
(e)    Consents and revocations shall be delivered to the inspectors upon receipt by the Corporation, the Soliciting Stockholders or their proxy solicitors or other designated agents. As soon as consents and revocations are received, the inspectors shall review the consents and revocations and shall maintain a count of the number of valid and unrevoked consents. The inspectors shall keep such count confidential and shall not reveal the count to the Corporation, the Soliciting Stockholder or their representatives or any other entity. As soon as practicable after the earlier of (i) sixty (60) days after the date of the earliest dated consent delivered to the Corporation in the manner provided in Section 228(c) of the DGCL or (ii) a written request therefor by the Corporation or the Soliciting Stockholders (whichever is soliciting consents)

7


(which request may be made no earlier than twenty (20) days after the commencement of the applicable solicitation of consents, except in the case of corporate action by written consent taken pursuant to solicitations of not more than ten (10) persons), notice of which request shall be given to the party opposing the solicitation of consents, if any, which request shall state that the Corporation or Soliciting Stockholders, as the case may be, have a good faith belief that the requisite number of valid and unrevoked consents to authorize or take the action specified in the consents has been received in accordance with these By-laws, the inspectors shall issue a preliminary report to the Corporation and the Soliciting Stockholders stating: (i) the number of valid consents; (ii) the number of valid revocations; (iii) the number of valid and unrevoked consents; (iv) the number of invalid consents; (v) the number of invalid revocations; (vi) whether, based on their preliminary count, the requisite number of valid and unrevoked consents has been obtained to authorize or take the action specified in the consents.
(f)    Unless the Corporation and the Soliciting Stockholders shall agree to a shorter or longer period, the Corporation and the Soliciting Stockholders shall have 48 hours to review the consents and revocations and to advise the inspectors and the opposing party in writing as to whether they intend to challenge the preliminary report of the inspectors. If no written notice of an intention to challenge the preliminary report is received within 48 hours after the inspectors’ issuance of the preliminary report, the inspectors shall issue to the Corporation and the Soliciting Stockholders their final report containing the information from the inspectors’ determination with respect to whether the requisite number of valid and unrevoked consents was obtained to authorize and take the action specified in the consents. If the Corporation or the Soliciting Stockholders issue written notice of an intention to challenge the inspectors’ preliminary report within 48 hours after the issuance of that report, a challenge session shall be scheduled by the inspectors as promptly as practicable. A transcript of the challenge session shall be recorded by a certified court reporter. Following completion of the challenge session, the inspectors shall as promptly as practicable issue their final report to the Soliciting Stockholders and the Corporation, which report shall contain the information included in the preliminary report, plus all changes in the vote totals as a result of the challenge and a certification of whether the requisite number of valid and unrevoked consents was obtained to authorize or take the action specified in the consents. A copy of the final report of the inspectors shall be included in the book in which the proceedings of meetings of stockholders are recorded.
(g)    The Corporation shall give prompt notice to the stockholders of the results of any consent solicitation or the taking of any corporate action without a meeting and by less than unanimous written consent.

Section 3.3    INDEMNIFICATION AGAINST EXPENSES. To the extent that a present or former director or officer of the Corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in Sections 3.1 and 3.2 hereof, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such person shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection therewith.

When authorizing (a) such issue of new certificate or certificates, or (b) if the Board of Directors has provided by resolution that the applicable stock shall be uncertificated, such issue of uncertificated shares, the Board of Directors may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require any or all of the following: (i) the owner of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated certificate, or the legal representative of the owner, to give the Corporation a bond or agreement of indemnity in such form and amount and with such surety (or without surety) sufficient in the discretion of the Board of Directors to indemnify the Corporation against any claim that may be made against the Corporation on account of the alleged loss, theft, destruction, or mutilation of such certificate or the issuance of such new certificate or certificates or uncertificated shares, (ii) additional evidence of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation claimed, (iii) advertisement of the loss in such a manner as the Board of Directors may direct or approve, and (iv) the order or approval of a court.
