Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

On October 19, 2010, Integra LifeSciences Holdings Corporation (the "Company") borrowed $30 million under its senior secured revolving credit facility. As a result of this borrowing, the Company has $250 million of outstanding borrowings under its credit facility, including a $150 million term loan and $100 million of borrowings under its revolving credit facility as of the date of this filing. The Company plans to use the funds to repay certain intercompany loans, the proceeds of which were used for various expenses, including repurchases of the Company’s common stock, an earn-out payment relating to an acquisition and other general corporate purposes.

The outstanding borrowings have one and three month interest periods. The weighted average interest rate of the outstanding borrowings is approximately 2.58%.

The credit facility requires the Company to maintain various financial covenants, including a maximum total leverage ratio, a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio and a minimum liquidity level. The credit facility also contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including those that limit the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ ability to incur additional debt, incur liens, make investments, enter into mergers and acquisitions, liquidate or dissolve, sell or dispose of assets, make capital expenditures, repurchase stock and pay dividends, engage in transactions with affiliates, engage in certain lines of business and enter into sale and leaseback transactions.
