TO
SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

THIS AMENDMENT , dated as of April 13, 2009, between Integra LifeSciences Holdings Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “ Company ”) and Stuart M. Essig (“ Executive ”).

RECITALS

WHEREAS , the Company and Executive previously entered into the Second Amended and Restated Employment Agreement, dated as of July 27, 2004, (the “ Employment Agreement ”), that sets forth the terms and conditions of Executive’s employment with the Company;

WHEREAS , as of December 19, 2006, the Company and Executive entered into Amendment 2006-1 to the Employment Agreement (“ Amendment 2006-1 ”) to provide certain severance benefits to Executive in the event Executive’s employment is terminated by Company for a covered termination in connection with a Change in Control (as defined in the Employment Agreement);

WHEREAS , as of March 6, 2008, the Company and Executive entered into Amendment 2008-1 to the Employment Agreement (“ Amendment 2008-1 ”) to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the final regulations issued thereunder;

WHEREAS , as of August 6, 2008, the Company and Executive entered into Amendment 2008-2 to the Employment Agreement (“ Amendment 2008-2 ”) to extend the term of Executive’s employment and to modify the provisions of the Employment Agreement relating to the grant of equity-based awards to Executive;

WHEREAS , the Company and Executive desire to amend the Employment Agreement as set forth herein; and

WHEREAS , Section 8.6 of the Employment Agreement provides that the Employment Agreement may be amended pursuant to a written agreement between the Company and Executive.

NOW, THEREFORE , the Company and Executive hereby agree that, effective as of April 13, 2009, the Employment Agreement, Amendment 2006-1, Amendment 2008-1 and Amendment 2008-2 shall be amended as follows:

1. Section 3.1 of the Employment Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

“3.1 Basic Compensation . As of January 1, 2009, Executive’s base salary rate is equal to $650,000 per annum. Commencing with the twelve-month period beginning January 1, 2010 and for each subsequent twelve-month period of the Term thereafter, the Company shall increase Executive’s base salary at an annual rate of not less than $50,000 with such additional increases, if any, as may be established by the Board or Compensation Committee of the Board (the “ Compensation Committee ”) from time to time (such base salary, as may be increased from time to time, the “ Base Salary ”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, effective for the period commencing on the first day of the first full pay period of the Company on or after April 13, 2009 and ending on December 31, 2009 (the “ 2009 Reduced Pay Period ”), Executive’s base salary shall be reduced to $600,000 per annum (the “ Reduced Base Salary ”); provided, however , that, for purposes of determining any bonus or severance amounts (other than the Accrued Obligations, as defined below) payable to Executive pursuant to Sections 3.3, 4 and 6.2 hereof, Executive’s “Base Salary” shall at all times, including during the 2009 Reduced Pay Period, refer to Executive’s Base Salary (and not the Reduced Base Salary). For purposes of clarification, the increases provided for in this Section 3.1 shall be based on a 2009 Base Salary of $650,000 per annum (and not the Reduced Base Salary) such that Executive’s 2010 Base Salary shall be increased to not less than $700,000 per annum. Executive’s Base Salary shall be payable in periodic installments in accordance with the Company’s regular payroll practices in effect from time to time.”

2. The following provisions are hereby added to the end of Section 3.3 of the Employment Agreement:

“Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Executive shall not receive an annual performance bonus described in this Section 3.3 with respect to the Company’s 2008 fiscal year. With respect to the Company’s 2009 fiscal year, if the applicable performance goals determined by the Board or the Compensation Committee for such year are satisfied, the Company shall pay Executive a bonus pursuant to this Section 3.3 in restricted shares of common stock of the Company (the “ Special FY 2009 Restricted Stock Award ”). Any Special FY 2009 Restricted Stock Award that becomes payable to Executive shall be awarded during the period commencing on January 1, 2010 and ending not later than March 31, 2010 and shall be subject to Executive’s continued employment with the Company until the date that such award is made. Any Special FY 2009 Restricted Stock Award paid to Executive shall, subject to Executive’s continued employment with the Company, vest with respect to 100% of the underlying shares on December 31, 2010, and shall be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Restricted Stock Agreement substantially in the form attached as Exhibit G hereto and the Company’s Amended and Restated 2003 Equity Incentive Plan. The Special FY 2009 Restricted Stock Award is not intended to be in lieu of, and shall not affect Executive’s rights to, any other equity compensation.”

3. Clause (ix) of Section 4.4(b) of the Employment Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following proviso at the end of such Section:
