Dear Larry:

     Re: Voluntary Retirement

     This letter is intended to set forth the mutual understandings and
agreements between Greatbatch, Inc. ("Company") and you with respect to your
voluntary retirement from the Company, as follows:

     1. Background. Reference is made to your letter to the Company, dated
October 16, 2006, requesting approval for you to retire under the terms and
conditions of the Greatbatch, Inc. Board Guidelines for Treatment of Executive
Retirement Equity Compensation, effective January 31, 2008, which request was
recommended for approval by the President and Chief Executive Officer of the
Company and approved by the Compensation and Organization Committee of the
Company's Board of Directors on the terms provided for herein. Additionally,
such request was unanimously approved by the Board of Directors upon motion duly
made and seconded. For purposes hereof, the term "Termination Date" will mean
January 31, 2008.

     2. Continued Services. You will continue as an employee of the Company
until the Effective Date. You will continue to serve as Secretary of the Company
until December 19, 2006 or until your successor is named by the Board of
Directors. Your position as Senior Vice President Administration of the Company
will end as of October 31, 2006. As of such date, you will become a senior
advisor to the Chairman and to the President and Chief Executive Officer of the
Company and agree to perform such services on behalf of the Company as they may
request through the Termination Date. All services after December 20, 2006 must
be authorized by the President and Chief Executive Officer.

     Without limiting the foregoing, you agree to make yourself available at
reasonable times and places to:

     (a) fully cooperate and assist with the transition of your duties and
responsibilities;

     (b) fully cooperate and assist with any examination of the Company
conducted by regulatory authorities having jurisdiction over the Company,
including attendance at meetings and production of notes and records that may be
in Company's possession;

     (c) fully cooperate and assist the Company in any internal investigations
or audits; and

     (d) provide consultative assistance to the Company. The Company will
reimburse you any reasonable out of pocket expenses associated with requests for
assistance under this provision, including travel, lodging and meals.

     3. Salary Continuation and Benefits.

     (a) The Company will continue to pay you your salary (as in effect on the
date hereof), less required withholding and deductions, through the Termination
Date consistent with the Company's normal payroll practices.

     (b) At the Company's expense, you will be continued in the Company's health
plan through the Termination Date at the same level and on the same terms as
provided active employees at a level consistent with the position that you held
as an officer of the Company. The Termination Date (January 31, 2008) shall be
considered a qualifying event for purposes of the Consolidated Omnibus Budget
Reconciliation Act of 1986 ("COBRA") and any COBRA continuation obligations
shall run from the Termination Date (additional coverage may be available
thereafter pursuant to COBRA).

     (c) Reference is made to the Company's Short Term Incentive Compensation
Plan ("STIC"). To the extent that all terms and conditions under the STIC for
the payment of any bonuses are met for the Company's 2006 and 2007 fiscal year,
then, notwithstanding that your position as Senior Vice President Administration
and Secretary will terminate, the Company will pay you, less required
withholding and deductions: (A) any bonus under the STIC in respect of the 2006
fiscal year for which you would otherwise be eligible, at the actual
plan-achieved level, such payment to be made in 2007 at the same time as bonuses
are paid to other participants in the STIC, and (B) any bonus under the STIC in
respect of the Company's 2007 fiscal year for which you would otherwise be
eligible, at the actual plan- achieved level plus $100,000, such payments to be
made in 2008 at the same time as bonuses are paid to other participants in the
STIC.

     (d) All other benefits which you currently receive or for which you are
reimbursed (e.g., insurance, car, physicals, etc.) shall continue through, and
terminate on, the Termination Date.

     4. Equity Compensation Awards. Subject to your ongoing compliance with the
terms and conditions of this letter agreement:

     (a) The Compensation and Organization Committee will consider you for
grants of awards in calendar year 2007 pursuant to the Company's 2005 Stock
Incentive Plan, including possible grants of restricted stock and nonqualified
stock options. The grants will be allocated to restricted stock (instead of
options or other awards) to the greatest extent then permitted by the Company
for executives under such plan.

     (b) All of your restricted stock awards and stock options awards which are
subject to a time-based vesting or exercise condition will become fully vested
on the Termination Date and will be exercisable for a period up to 90 days after
the Termination Date.

     (c) With respect to equity compensation awards (i) where vesting or
excercisability is based on the achievement of certain performance-based goals
(e.g., the awards designated as Supplemental Annual Long Term, or "SALT" Awards)
(collectively, the "Performance Based Awards") and (ii) where such Performance
Based Awards are, as of the Termination Date, "on target" (as hereinafter
defined), such Performance-Based Awards will be vested and exercisable as
follows:

     A. Performance-Based Awards granted in 2005 or before will be fully vested.

     B. Performance-Based Awards awarded in 2006 are terminated as of the date
hereof.

Performance-Based Awards which are vested, as provided herein, will become
exercisable if the specified performance goals specified in the SALT plan (or
other applicable plan) are achieved, as certified by the Compensation and
Organization Committee, and will be exercisable for a period of 90 days
following such certification of the satisfaction of the performance goals.

     (d) Any performance based awards as to which the Compensation and
Organization Committee does not certify the achievement of the performance goals
specified in the SALT plan (or other applicable Plan) will expire pursuant to
their terms.

     (e) For purposes hereof, Performance Based Awards will be deemed to be "on
target" if the Company is, as of the Termination Date, accruing a liability for
anticipated expenses thereunder.

     5. Releases.

     (a) The parties agree and acknowledge that the consideration to be provided
to you, as set forth above in Sections 3 and 4, is being provided to extinguish
and release any and all claims that you may have against the Company and any of
its past, present or future parent companies, subsidiaries, affiliates, and all
their respective past, present and future employees, officers, directors,
trustees, shareholders, agents, and successors and assigns (collectively,
"Releasees"), and that this consideration to be provided to you exceeds anything
of value to which you would otherwise be entitled.

     (b) For and in consideration of the promises and other valuable
consideration paid to you pursuant to this letter agreement, you hereby release
and discharge the Releasees from any and all claims, demands, causes of action,

had, now have or may hereafter have against the Releasees by reason of any
actual or alleged act, omission, transaction, practice, conduct, occurrence, or
other matter, except for (i) those rights expressly reserved in this letter
agreement and (ii) any and all rights that you have to seek indemnification
under the By-laws of the Company or any subsidiary thereof or under Delaware or
New York law in respect of any action or threatened action against you by reason
of the fact that you are, or were at any time, an officer, director or agent of
the Company, such subsidiary or any trust. You further agree that this clause
will apply to, and be binding upon, your heirs, executors and assigns.

     (c) Without limiting the generality of Section 5(a) or 5(b) above or
characterizing the nature of your claims, this document releases the Releasees
from (i) any and all claims arising out of your employment with the Company;
(ii) any and all claims (whether based on a federal, state or local stature, or
court decision) including, but not limited to, claims under the Age
Discrimination in Employment Act, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the
American with Disabilities Act, the Employee Retirement and Income Security Act,
the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the New York Human Rights Law, the New York
Labor Law, and/or any other federal, state or local statute or court decision;
(iii) any and all claims for breach of contract; (iv) any and all claims for
lost wages, bonuses, back pay, front pay, employee benefits, including severance
pay, or for damages or injury of any type whatsoever, including, but not limited
to, defamation, injury to reputation, intentional or negligent infliction of
emotional distress, (whether arising by virtue of statute or common law, and
whether based upon negligent or willful actions or omissions); and (v) any and
all claims for compensatory or punitive damages, attorneys' fees, costs and
disbursements which you (or any heir, executor or assignee) ever had, now have
or hereafter can, shall or may have against the Releasees for, upon or by reason
of any actual or alleged act, omission, transaction, practice, conduct,
occurrence or other matter up to and including the date of the execution of this
letter agreement by you, except for those rights expressly reserved in this
letter agreement.

     (d) Except for your rights to enforce this letter agreement and your rights
to indemnification to the extent permitted by law as acknowledged in Section
5(b) above, you covenant, to the maximum extent permitted by law, that you shall
not at any time hereafter commence, maintain, prosecute, participate in, or
permit to be filed by any other person on your behalf, any action, charge,
complaint, suit or proceeding or any kind, before any court, administrative
agency, or other tribunal, against any of the Releasees with respect to any
actual or alleged act, omission, transaction, practice, conduct, occurrence or
other matter up to and including the date of the execution of this letter
agreement by you.

     (e) The Company voluntarily releases and discharges the Executive and his
heirs, successors, administrators, representatives and assigns from all claims,
debts, demands, accounts, judgments, rights, causes of action, equitable relief,
damages, costs, changes, complaints, obligations, promises, agreements,
controversies, suits, expenses, compensation, responsibility and liability of
every kind and character whatsoever (including attorneys' fees and costs),
whether in law or equity (collectively, "Claims") which it may have against the
Executive as the result of his employment or the discontinuance of his
employment that are based upon facts known, or which in the exercise of
reasonable diligence should have been known, to the Company's Board of Directors
other than its rights to enforce the terms of this letter agreement and the
terms and conditions of all employee benefit plans of the Company.

     6. Confidentiality. You agree to hold in a fiduciary capacity for the
benefit of the Company all secret or confidential information, knowledge or data
relating to the Company and its businesses, which shall have been obtained by
you during your employment by the Company and which shall not be or become
public knowledge (other than by acts by you or your representatives in violation
of this letter agreement). After termination of your employment with the
Company, you shall not, without prior written consent of the Company,
communicate or divulge any such information, knowledge or data to anyone other
than the Company and those designated by it. In addition, to the extent that you
are a party to any other agreement or policy relating to noncompetition,
confidential information, inventions or similar matters with the Company, you
shall continue to comply with the provisions of such agreements and policies.
Nothing in this letter agreement shall be construed as modifying any provisions
of such agreements or policies. In the case of any inconsistency between such
agreements or policies and this letter agreement, the broader provision shall
prevail. In no event shall an asserted violation of the provisions of this
Section constitute a basis for deferring or withholding any amounts otherwise
payable to you under this letter agreement, except if you materially breach this
section or a covenant not to compete or confidentiality provision in any such
agreement or document, that breach shall be considered a material breach of this
letter agreement.

     7. Breach. Any material breach by you of this letter agreement, shall be
considered a breach for which the Company shall be entitled to cease the
payments and benefits described in Sections 3 and 4 of this letter agreement
after providing you with at least five (5) calendar days written notice of such
breach and your failure to cure such breach, in addition to any other remedies
to which the Company may be entitled by law.

months following, the Termination Date, you will furnish timely information of
any such transactions to the Company.

     9. Unenforceable Provisions. If any provision of this letter agreement is
held to be illegal, void or unenforceable, such provisions shall have no effect
upon, and shall not impair the legality or enforceability of, any other
provision of this letter agreement.

to the benefit of, the parties and their respective heirs, executors,
representatives, successors and assigns.

     11. No Admission. The making of this letter agreement is not intended, and
shall not be construed, as any admission that the Company or any of the

wrong against you or any other person or entity.
