holding the meeting or transacting business at the meeting, and (ii) waived objection to

Bylaws a notice is required to be given to any director, a written waiver thereof, signed by the
director entitled to notice, whether before or after the time stated therein, and filed with
the corporate records or the minutes of the meeting, shall be equivalent to notice. Attendance of
any director at any meeting of the Board of Directors or any committee thereof shall constitute a
waiver of notice of such meeting by such director, except as otherwise provided by statute.

Section 4. Registered Shareholders. The corporation shall be entitled to treat
the holder of record of any share or shares as the holder in fact thereof and, accordingly, shall

any other person, whether or not it shall have express or other notice thereof, save as expressly
provided by the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia.
ARTICLE 9
FIXING RECORD DATE
In order to make a determination of shareholders for any purpose, including those who are
entitled to notice of and to vote at any meeting of shareholders or any adjournment thereof, or
entitled to express consent in writing to any corporate action without a meeting, or entitled to
receive payment of any distribution or allotment of any rights, or entitled to exercise any rights
in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of capital stock, the Board of Directors may fix
in advance a record date which shall not be more than 70 days before the meeting or other action
requiring such determination. A record date fixed by the Board of Directors with respect to any
meeting of the shareholders shall be the record date for determining shareholders entitled to
notice of and to vote at such meeting, unless the Board of Directors, at the time it fixes the
record date for shareholders entitled to notice of the meeting, fixes a later record date on or
before the date of the meeting to determine the shareholders entitled to vote at the meeting. If
no record date is fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a
meeting of shareholders or any adjournment thereof, entitled to express consent in writing to
corporate action without a meeting, or entitled to receive payment of any distribution or allotment
of any rights, or entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange
of capital stock, the date on which notices of the meeting or the requests for written consent are
mailed or the date on which the resolution of the Board of Directors declaring or approving such
distribution, allotment of rights or change, conversion or exchange is adopted, as the case may be,
shall be the record date for such determination of shareholders. Except as otherwise expressly
prescribed by statute, only shareholders of record on the date so fixed shall be entitled to such
notice of, and to vote at, such meeting and any adjournment thereof, or entitled to express such
consent, or entitled to receive payment of such distribution or allotment of rights, or entitled to
exercise such rights in respect of change, conversion or exchange, or to take such other action,
8
as
the case may be, notwithstanding any transfer of shares on the share transfer books of the
corporation after any such record date fixed as aforesaid. When a determination of shareholders
entitled to vote at any meeting of shareholders has been made as provided in this Article, such
determination shall apply to any adjournment thereof unless the Board of Directors fixes a new
record date, which it shall do if the meeting is adjourned to a date more than 120 days after
the date fixed for the original meeting.
ARTICLE 10

For a period of six years from the Effective Time, the corporation shall honor the
exculpation, indemnification and advancement of expenses provisions in the bylaws of Talecris
Biotherapeutics Holdings Corp. as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time. For purposes
of these Bylaws, the term “Effective Time” shall have the meaning given in the Agreement and Plan
of Merger, dated June 6, 2010, among Grifols, S.A., Grifols, Inc. and Talecris Biotherapeutics
Holdings Corp.
ARTICLE 11
INDEMNIFICATION AFTER THE EFFECTIVE TIME
Section 1. For purposes of this Article:
(a) “eligible person” means a person who is or was a director or officer of the corporation at
any time after the Effective Time or a person who is or was a director or officer of the
corporation and serving at the request of the corporation at any time after the Effective Time as a
director, trustee, partner, officer or employee of another corporation, affiliated corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise. A person shall be
considered to be serving an employee benefit plan at the request of the corporation if such
person’s duties to the corporation also impose duties on, or otherwise involve services by, him or
her to the plan or to participants in or beneficiaries of the plan;
(b) “expenses” includes, without limitation, counsel fees;
(c) “liability” means the obligation to pay a judgment, settlement, penalty, fine (including
any excise tax assessed with respect to an employee benefit plan) or reasonable expenses incurred
with respect to a proceeding;
(d) “party” includes, without limitation, an individual who was, is or is threatened to be
made a named defendant or respondent in a proceeding; and
(e) “proceeding” means any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit or proceeding,
whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative and whether formal or informal.
9
Section 2. Every reference herein to directors, officers, trustees, partners, employees,
agents or consultants shall include former directors, officers, trustees, partners, employees,
agents or consultants and their respective heirs, executors and administrators, provided that
Article 10 shall be the sole source of indemnification and advancement of expenses for any such
persons acting in any such capacity before the Effective Time. The indemnification hereby
provided and provided hereafter pursuant to the power hereby conferred by this Article shall not be
exclusive of any other rights to which any person may be entitled, including any rights under
policies of insurance that may be purchased and maintained by the corporation or others, with
respect to claims, issues or matters in relation to which the corporation would not have the power
to indemnify such person under the provisions of this Article.
Section 3. To the fullest extent permitted by the VSCA, as it exists on the date hereof or as
hereafter amended, the corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party to any
proceeding, including a proceeding brought by or in the right of the corporation or brought by or
on behalf of shareholders of the corporation, by reason of the fact that such person is or was an
eligible person against any liability incurred by such person in connection with such proceeding.
To the same extent, the corporation is empowered to enter into a contract to indemnify any eligible
person against liability in respect of any proceeding arising from any act or omission, whether
occurring before or after the execution of such contract.
Section 4. The termination of any proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or
upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not of itself create a presumption that the
eligible person did not meet any standard of conduct that is or may be a prerequisite to such
person’s entitlement to indemnification under Section 3 of this Article.
Section 5. The corporation shall indemnify under Section 3 of this Article any eligible person
who entirely prevails in the defense of any proceeding. Any other indemnification under Section 3
of this Article (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the corporation only as authorized in
the specific case upon a determination that indemnification is proper in the circumstances because
the eligible person has met any standard of conduct that is a prerequisite to his or her
entitlement to indemnification under Section 3 of this Article. The determination shall be made:
(a) by the Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors not at
the time parties to the proceeding;
(b) if a quorum cannot be obtained under clause (a) of this Section 5, by majority vote of a
committee duly designated by the Board of Directors (in which designation directors who are parties
may participate), consisting solely of two or more directors not at the time parties to the
proceeding;
(c) by special legal counsel:
(i) selected by the Board of Directors or its committee in the manner prescribed in
clause (a) or (b) of this Section 5; or
(ii) if a quorum of the Board of Directors cannot be obtained under clause (a) of
this Section 5 and a committee cannot be designated under clause (b) of this
10
Section
5, selected by a majority vote of the full Board of Directors, in which selection
directors who are parties may participate; or
(d) by the shareholders of the corporation, but shares owned by or voted under the control of
directors who are at the time parties to the proceeding may not be voted on the determination.
Any evaluation as to reasonableness of expenses shall be made in the same manner as the
determination that indemnification is appropriate, except that if the determination is made by
special legal counsel, such authorizations and evaluations shall be made by those entitled under
clause (c) of this Section 5 to select counsel or by special legal counsel so selected.
Section 6. The corporation shall pay for or reimburse the reasonable expenses incurred by any
eligible person who is a party to a proceeding in advance of final disposition of the proceeding or
the making of any determination under Section 5 of this Article if any such person furnishes the
corporation:
(a) a written statement, executed personally, of such person’s good faith belief that such
person has met any standard of conduct that is a prerequisite to his or her entitlement to
indemnification pursuant to Section 3 of this Article; and
(b) a written undertaking, executed personally or on such person’s behalf, to repay the
advance if it is ultimately determined that such person did not meet such standard of conduct.
The undertaking required by clause (b) of this Section 6 shall be an unlimited general obligation
but need not be secured and may be accepted without reference to financial ability to make
repayment.
Section 7. The corporation may and is hereby empowered to indemnify or contract to indemnify,
and to pay for and reimburse the reasonable expenses incurred by, any person not specified in
Section 3 of this Article who was, is or may become a party to any proceeding, by reason of the
fact that he or she is or was an employee or agent of the corporation, to the same or a lesser
extent as if such person were specified as one to whom indemnification is granted in Section 3 of
this Article. Unless otherwise provided by the corporation with respect to any such person, the
provisions of Sections 4, 5 and 6 of this Article shall be applicable to any indemnification and
payment or reimbursement of expenses provided hereafter pursuant to this Section.
Section 8. Except as otherwise required by law, from and after the Effective Time the
provisions of this Article shall be applicable to all proceedings commenced after it becomes
effective, arising from any act or omission, whether occurring before or after such effective date.
No amendment or repeal of this Article shall impair or otherwise diminish the rights provided
under this Article (including those created by contract) with respect to any act or omission
occurring prior to such amendment or repeal. The corporation shall promptly take all such actions
and make all such determinations and authorizations as shall be necessary or appropriate to comply
with its obligation to make any indemnity against liability, or to advance any expenses, under this
Article.
11
Section 9. The corporation may purchase and maintain insurance to indemnify it against the
whole or any portion of the liability assumed by it in accordance with this Article and
may also procure insurance, in such amounts as the Board of Directors may determine, on behalf
of any eligible person (and for a person referred to in Section 7 of this Article) against any
liability asserted against or incurred by him or her whether or not the corporation would have
power to indemnify him or her against such liability under the provisions of this Article.
Section 10. Nothing herein shall prevent or restrict the power of the corporation to make or
provide for any further indemnity, or any provisions for determining entitlement to indemnity,
pursuant to one or more indemnification agreements, the Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws or other
arrangements (including, without limitation, creation of trust funds or security interests funded
by letters of credit or other means) approved by the Board of Directors (whether or not any of the
directors of the corporation shall be a party to or beneficiary of any such agreements, the
Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws or other arrangements); provided, however, that
any provision of such agreements, the Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws or other arrangements shall
not be effective if and to the extent that it is determined to be contrary to this Article or
applicable laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia, but other provisions of any such agreements, the
Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws or other arrangements shall not be affected by any such
determination.
Section 11. Each provision of this Article shall be severable and an adverse determination as
to any such provision shall in no way affect the validity of any other provision.

thereof to be impressed, affixed, printed or otherwise reproduced.
Section 3. Severability. If any provision of these Bylaws shall be held invalid or
unenforceable in any respect, such holding shall apply only to the extent of any such invalidity or
unenforceability and shall not in any manner affect, impair or render invalid or unenforceable any
other provision of the Bylaws in any jurisdiction.
