Indemnification of Directors and Officers. The Delaware General Corporation Law authorizes corporations to limit or eliminate the personal liability of directors to corporations and their stockholders for monetary damages for breach of directors' fiduciary duty of care. The duty of care requires that, when acting on behalf of the corporation, directors must exercise an informed business judgment based on all material information reasonably available to them. Absent the limitations authorized by the Delaware statute, directors could be accountable to corporations and their stockholders for monetary damages for conduct that does not satisfy their duty of care. Although the statute does not change directors' duty of care, it enables corporations to limit available relief to equitable remedies such as injunction or rescission. The Registrant's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation ("Certificate of Incorporation") limits the liability of the Registrant's directors to the Registrant or its stockholders to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware statute. Specifically, directors of the Registrant will not be personally liable for monetary damages for breach of a director's fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (i) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the Registrant or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) for unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions as provided in Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. The inclusion of this provision in the Certificate of Incorporation may have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against directors and may discourage or deter stockholders or management from bringing a lawsuit against directors for breach of their duty of care, even though such an action, if successful, might otherwise have benefited the Registrant and its stockholders. At present, there is no litigation or proceeding pending involving a director of the Registrant as to which indemnification is being sought, nor is the Registrant aware of any threatened litigation that may result in claims for indemnification by any director. The Registrant has directors and officers liability insurance coverage, and the By-Laws of the Registrant provide for indemnification of the officers and directors of the Registrant to the fullest extent permitted under Delaware law. Reference is made to Item 9 of this Registration Statement for additional information regarding indemnification of directors and officers. Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed. No restricted securities are being reoffered or resold pursuant to this Registration Statement. Item 8. Exhibits. 5 Opinion of Drinker Biddle & Shanley LLP. 23.1 Consent of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP. 23.2 Consent of Drinker Biddle & Shanley LLP (included in Exhibit 5). 24 Powers of Attorney (see Signature Page). -4- Item 9. Undertakings 1. Undertakings Required by Regulation S-K Item 512(a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes as follows: (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made pursuant to this Registration Statement, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement: (i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933; (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in the volume of the securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the change in volume and price represents no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the registration statement; and (iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any material change to such information in this Registration Statement; Provided, however, that paragraphs (1)(i) and (1)(ii) above do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 and 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement. (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering. 2. Undertakings Required by Regulation S-K Item 512(b). The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that is incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. 3. Undertakings Required by Regulation S-K Item 512(h). Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. -5- SIGNATURES Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the Company certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in Plainsboro, New Jersey, September 18, 2000.

EPSTEIN September 18, 2000 Integra LifeSciences Holdings Corporation 105 Morgan Lane Plainsboro, NJ 08536 Gentlemen: We have acted as counsel to Integra LifeSciences Holdings Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), in connection with the preparation and filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission of the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the "Registration Statement") under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, relating to 2,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company, par value $.01 per share (the "Common Stock"), issuable under the Company's 2000 Equity Incentive Plan (the "Plan"). The shares of the Company's Common Stock issuable under the Plan are referred to as the "Shares." In that capacity, we have examined the originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of the Certificate of Incorporation and the By-laws of the Company, each as amended through the date hereof, the Plan, resolutions of the Company's Board of Directors, and such other documents and corporate records relating to the Company and the issuance and sale of the Shares as we have deemed appropriate. The opinions expressed herein are based exclusively on the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. In all cases, we have assumed the legal capacity of each natural person signing any of the documents and corporate records examined by us, the genuineness of signatures, the authenticity of documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to authentic original documents of documents submitted to us as copies and the accuracy and completeness of all corporate records and other information made available to us by the Company. Based upon the foregoing and consideration of such questions of law as we have deemed relevant, we are of the opinion that the Shares issued by the Company in accordance with the Plan will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable by the Company. We consent to the use of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement. This does not constitute a consent under Section 7 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, because we have not certified any part of the Registration Statement and do not otherwise come within the categories of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 or the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
