Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On March 2, 2011, Integra LifeSciences Corporation ("ILS"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Integra LifeSciences Holdings Corporation (the "Company"), entered into a lease modification agreement with Plainsboro Associates relating to its manufacturing facility located at 105 Morgan Lane, Plainsboro, New Jersey. Plainsboro Associates is a New Jersey general partnership. Ocirne, Inc., a subsidiary of Provco Industries ("Provco"), owns a 50% interest in Plainsboro Associates. Provco’s stockholders are trusts whose beneficiaries include the children of Dr. Richard Caruso, the Chairman and a principal stockholder of the Company. Dr. Caruso is the President of Provco.

The lease modification agreement provides a fifteen-year option (instead of the prior ten-year option) for ILS to extend the lease term from November 1, 2017 through October 31, 2032 at the same fixed rental rate that applied to the prior ten-year option renewal period. In addition, the lease modification agreement (i) adds a five-year renewal option in order to be able to extend the lease from November 1, 2032 through October 31, 2037 at the fair market rental rate of the premises and (ii) adds another five-year renewal option in order to be able to extend the lease from November 1, 2037 through October 31, 2042 at the fair market rental rate of the premises. In the event that ILS exercises any of the five-year renewal options, the landlord will notify ILS as to its opinion as to the fair market rental rate, which cannot be lower than the rent for the prior lease term. In making the determination of the fair market rental rate, no consideration shall be given to the value of any additions, improvements or special purpose renovations paid by ILS. If ILS does not agree with the amount of the fair market rental rate, the parties will have 30 days to negotiate. If the parties still cannot agree, then the fair market rental rate shall be determined by appraisal in which case the parties shall jointly select an appraiser. If the parties do not agree on the appraiser, then each party will select an appraiser. If the two appraisers do not agree on the fair market rental rate, then the appraisers will select a third appraiser and the determination of two of the three appraisers that are the same will be the fair market rental rate. If none of the appraisals are the same, then the fair market rental rate shall be the average of the three appraisals. Each party shall pay for the fee of the appraiser selected by it and the fee for the third appraiser, if necessary, shall be shared equally. Further, the lease modification agreement incorporates terms from two prior lease amendments into the modification agreement.

Prior to the March 2, 2011 modification agreement, the lease had an option for ILS to extend the term from November 1, 2017 through October 31, 2027 at a fixed rate of $11.97 per square foot, or an annual rate of $295,515.36 ($24,626.28 monthly), for the ten-year extension period.

A copy of the lease modification agreement is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference into this Item.

Written notice of exercise of the Second Option and the Third Option must be sent to the Landlord and received by the Landlord at least nine (9) months before the expiration of the previous term or extended term. Such written notice by Tenant, upon receipt by the Landlord shall be irrevocable and shall bind Tenant to the terms of the Leases and this Lease Modification #3 for the applicable renewal term.

AS TO THE HELITREX LEASE

The rent for the applicable renewal term shall accrue at yearly rates and shall be payable in advance on the first day of each calendar month during the applicable renewal term in installments as follows:

                 
LEASE YEAR
  ANNUAL   MONTHLY
 
               
26 through 40

(11/1/2037 to 10/31/2042)

AS TO THE ABC LEASE

The rent for the applicable renewal term shall accrue at yearly rates and shall be payable in advance on the first day of each calendar month during the applicable renewal term in installments as follows:

                 
LEASE YEAR
  ANNUAL   MONTHLY
 
               
26 through 40
  $ 119,939.40     $ 9,994.95  

(11/1/2017 to 10/31/2032)

41 through 45 (11/1/2032 to 10/31/2037)

(C) During such renewal term all of the terms and conditions of each Lease, as amended by this Lease Modification #3, excluding basic rent, shall apply.

(D) The determination as to current “ Fair Market Rental Rate ” as provided for above shall commence with Landlord providing to Tenant in writing Landlord’s opinion as to the fair market value rental for the Helitrex Lease and ABC Lease (“Landlord’s Opinion”). If the Tenant agrees with Landlord’s Opinion, Landlord’s Opinion shall be the Fair Market Rental Rate. If the Tenant’s disagree with Landlord’s Opinion, the parties shall in good faith negotiate for a period of thirty (30) days thereafter to try to agree upon the rent for the applicable renewal term. If the parties are able to agree upon the rent for the applicable renewal term, the agreed upon rent shall be the Fair Market Rental Rate. If the parties are unable to agree upon the rent for such applicable renewal term, then the Fair Market Rental Rate shall be determined by appraisal as of a date no more than six (6) months prior to the commencement of the applicable renewal term. In making such determination, no consideration shall be given to the value of any facility additions or improvements or special purpose renovations, such as clean rooms and the like, paid for by Tenant. Landlord and Tenant shall in good faith try to agree upon a single appraiser, licensed as such in the State of New Jersey and familiar with the rental market in Plainsboro, Middlesex County, New Jersey to arrive at the Fair Market Rental Rate for the applicable renewal term. In the event that six (6) months prior to the end of the applicable renewal lease term, the parties are unable to agree upon a single appraiser, Landlord and Tenant shall each select an appraiser licensed in the State of New Jersey and familiar with the rental market in Plainsboro, Middlesex County, New Jersey, and advise the other party in writing of their selection no less than five (5) months prior to the commencement of such applicable renewal term. Said appraiser(s) shall jointly determine (or in the case of a single appraiser such single appraiser shall determine) the Fair Market Rental Value of the Demised Premises for the applicable renewal term and advise Landlord and Tenant in writing of their determination within sixty (60) days after being so selected. If the appraisers agree upon the fair market rental value, then their agreement as to the fair market rental value shall be the Fair Market Rental Rate. On the failure of either party to select an appraiser by the aforesaid date, the appraiser appointed by the other party shall select an appraiser to represent the party in default. In the event the two appraisers so selected cannot agree upon a fair market rental they shall select a third appraiser to make a like determination. The determination of two of the three appraisers which are the same shall be deemed the Fair Market Rental Rate. If none of the amounts so determined are the same then the rental to be paid shall be the average of all three. Each party shall be responsible for the fees of the appraiser selected by or appointed for them, as the case may be, and the fees of the third appraiser selected, if necessary, as aforesaid shall be shared equally by them.

(E) The rent reserved for and during the renewal term shall be payable in monthly installments in the manner and to the extent set forth in each Lease as amended by this Lease Modification #3.

(F) There shall be no options to renew other than as specifically set forth above.

24. Landlord acknowledges and agrees that, as of the date hereof, any and all alterations, additions, improvements or repairs made by Tenant to the “Demised Premises,” the “Building,” “common areas” or “common area facilities” (as such terms are defined in the Helitex Lease and the ABC Lease), which have been approved in writing by the Plainsboro Building Department (or such other Township department having jurisdiction over such matters), are considered approved, inspected and accepted by Landlord in accordance with the terms of the Helitrex Lease and the ABC Lease.

25. This Lease Modification #3 amends and supercedes all amendments and modifications to the Leases, including those set forth in Lease Amendment #1 and Lease Amendment #2.

26. Except as otherwise specifically provided for herein, the Leases shall continue in full force and effect and Landlord and Tenant and their successors and permitted assigns shall be and remain bound by all of the terms and conditions thereof.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Landlord and Tenant have hereunto set their hands and seals the date and year first above written and acknowledge one to the other that they possess the requisite authority to enter into this transaction and to sign this Agreement.
