Revolving Line of Credit –The Company has a revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”), which provides a $400 million secured revolving credit facility, and can be increased to $600 million upon the Company's request and approval by a majority of the lenders. The Credit Facility also contains a $15 million letter of credit subfacility and a $15 million swingline subfacility. The Credit Facility has a maturity date of June 24, 2016; provided, however, if CSN (defined below) is not repaid in full, modified or refinanced before March 1, 2013, the maturity date of the Credit Facility will be March 1, 2013.

The Credit Facility is secured by the Company's non-realty assets including cash, accounts receivable and inventories. Interest rates under the Credit Facility are, at the Company's option either at: (i) the higher of (a) the prime rate and (b) the federal funds rate plus 0.5%, plus the applicable margin, which ranges between 0.0% and 1.0%, based on the Company's total leverage ratio or (ii) the applicable LIBOR rate plus the applicable margin, which ranges between 1.5% and 3.0%, based on the Company's total leverage ratio. Loans under the swingline subfacility will bear interest at the higher of (a) the prime rate and (b) the federal funds rate plus 0.5%, plus the applicable margin, which ranges between 0.0% and 1.0%, based on the Company's total leverage ratio. The Company is also required to pay a commitment fee which, varies between 0.175% and 0.25% depending on the Company's total leverage ratio.

The Credit Facility contains limitations on the incurrence of indebtedness, liens and licensing of intellectual property, investments and certain payments. The Credit Facility permits the Company to engage in the following activities up to an aggregate amount of $250 million: 1) engage in permitted acquisitions in the aggregate not to exceed $250 million; 2) make other investments in the aggregate not to exceed $60 million; 3) make stock repurchases not to exceed $60 million in the aggregate; and 4) retire up to $198 million of Greatbatch, Inc.'s CSN. At any time that the total leverage ratio of the Company for the two most recently ended fiscal quarters is less than 2.75 to 1.0, the Company may make an election to reset each of the amounts specified above. Additionally, these limitations can be waived upon the Company's request and approval of a majority of the lenders. As of March 30, 2012, the Company had available to it the full amount of the above limits except for the permitted acquisitions and CSN retirement limits, which is $165 million due to the Micro Power and NeuroNexus acquisitions.

The Credit Facility requires the Company to maintain a rolling four quarter ratio of adjusted EBITDA to interest expense of at least 3.0 to 1.0, and a total leverage ratio of not greater than 4.0 to 1.0. The calculation of adjusted EBITDA and total leverage ratio excludes non-cash charges, extraordinary, unusual, or non-recurring expenses or losses, non-cash stock-based compensation, and non-recurring expenses or charges incurred in connection with permitted acquisitions. As of March 30, 2012, the Company was in compliance with all covenants.

The Credit Facility contains customary events of default. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an event of default, a majority of the lenders may declare the outstanding advances and all other obligations under the Credit Facility immediately due and payable.

The weighted average interest rate on borrowings under the Credit Facility as of March 30, 2012, was 2.13%. As of March 30, 2012, the Company had $345 million of borrowing capacity available under the Credit Facility. This borrowing capacity may vary from period to period based upon the debt levels of the Company as well as the level of EBITDA, which impacts the covenant calculations as described above.

Interest Rate Swaps –In 2008, the Company entered into three receive floating-pay fixed interest rate swaps indexed to the six-month LIBOR rate, in order to hedge against potential changes in cash flows on the Company's outstanding debt, which was also indexed to the six-month LIBOR rate. As of March 30, 2012, none of these interest rate swaps remain outstanding. The receive variable leg of the interest rate swaps and the variable rate paid on the debt had the same rate of interest, excluding the credit spread, and reset and paid interest on the same dates. The Company accounted for these interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges. No portion of the change in fair value of the interest rate swaps during 2011 was considered ineffective. The amount recorded as Interest Expense related to the interest rate swaps was $0.2 million for the first quarter of 2011.

Convertible Subordinated Notes – In March 2007, the Company completed a private placement of $197.8 million of 2.25% convertible subordinated notes, due June 15, 2013 (“CSN”). CSN bear interest at 2.25% per annum, payable semi-annually, are due on June 15, 2013, and were issued at a 5% discount. The holders may convert the notes into shares of the Company's common stock at a conversion price of $34.70 per share, which is equivalent to a conversion ratio of 28.8219 shares per $1,000 of principal. The conversion price and the conversion ratio will adjust automatically upon certain changes to the Company's capitalization. The fair value of CSN as of March 30, 2012 was approximately $198 million and is based on recent sales prices.

The effective interest rate of CSN, which takes into consideration the amortization of the discount and deferred fees related to the issuance of these notes, is approximately 8.5%. The discount on CSN is being amortized to the maturity date of the convertible notes utilizing the effective interest method. As of March 30, 2012, the carrying amount of the discount related to the CSN conversion option was $12.0 million. As of March 30, 2012, the if-converted value of the CSN notes does not exceed their principal amount as the Company's closing stock price of $24.52 per share did not exceed the conversion price of $34.70 per share.

The contractual interest and discount amortization for CSN were as follows (in thousands):

		2012		2011
Contractual interest	$	1,113	$	1,113
Discount amortization		2,689		2,516

The notes are convertible at the option of the holders at such time as: (i) the closing price of the Company's common stock exceeds 150% of the conversion price of the notes for 20 out of 30 consecutive trading days; (ii) the trading price per $1,000 of principal is less than 98% of the product of the closing sale price of common stock for each day during any five consecutive trading day period and the conversion rate per $1,000 of principal; (iii) the notes have been called for redemption; (iv) the Company distributes to all holders of common stock rights or warrants entitling them to purchase additional shares of common stock at less than the average closing price of common stock for the ten trading days immediately preceding the announcement of the distribution; (v) the Company distributes to all holders of common stock any form of dividend which has a per share value exceeding 5% of the price of the common stock on the day prior to such date of distribution; (vi) the Company effects a consolidation, merger, share exchange or sale of assets pursuant to which its common stock is converted to cash or other property; (vii) the occurrence of the period beginning 60 days prior to but excluding June 15, 2013; and (viii) certain fundamental changes, as defined in the indenture governing the notes, occur or are approved by the Board of Directors.

Conversions in connection with corporate transactions that constitute a fundamental change require the Company to pay a premium make-whole amount, based upon a predetermined table as set forth in the indenture, whereby the conversion ratio on the notes may be increased by up to 7.0 shares per $1,000 of principal. The premium make-whole amount will be paid in shares of common stock upon any such conversion, subject to the net share settlement feature of the notes described below.

CSN contains a net share settlement feature that requires the Company to pay cash for each $1,000 of principal to be converted. Any amounts in excess of $1,000 will be settled in shares of the Company's common stock, or at the Company's option, cash. The Company has a one-time irrevocable election to pay the holders in shares of its common stock, which it currently does not plan to exercise.

CSN are redeemable by the Company at any time on or after June 20, 2012, or at the option of a holder, upon the occurrence of certain fundamental changes, as defined in the indenture, to the Company. The notes are subordinated in right of payment to all of the Company's senior indebtedness and effectively subordinated to all debts and other liabilities of the Company's subsidiaries.
