1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On February 1, 2024, the Bruker Corporation (the “Company”) entered into a note purchase agreement among the Company and the institutional accredited investors named therein (the “Note Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company will issue and sell (i) CHF 50 million aggregate principal amount of 2.56% Series A Senior Notes due April 15, 2034 (the “Series A Notes”), (ii) CHF 146 million aggregate principal amount of its 2.62% Series B Senior Notes due April 15, 2036 (the “Series B Notes”) and (iii) CHF 135 million aggregate principal amount of its 2.71% Series C Senior Notes due April 15, 2039 (the “Series C Notes” together with the Series A Notes and the Series B Notes, the “Notes”) in an offering exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The issuance and sale of the Notes is subject to satisfaction of a variety of customary closing conditions and is expected to occur on or about April 15, 2024 (the “Closing”). The Company can give no assurance that the transaction will close on that date or at all. Terms used in this Item 1.01 and not otherwise defined herein have the meanings given to them in the Note Purchase Agreement.

Interest on the Notes is payable semi-annually on April 15 and October 15 of each year, commencing April 15 or October 15, 2024. The Notes are unsecured obligations of the Company and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by certain of the Company’s subsidiaries. The Company may prepay some or all of the Notes at any time in an amount not less than 10% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding at a price equal to the sum of (a) the principal amount to be prepaid, plus accrued and unpaid interest, (b) any applicable “make-whole” amount, and (c) certain other fees and expenses. In the event of a change in control (as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement) of the Company, the Company may be required to prepay the Notes at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest and certain other fees and expenses.

The Note Purchase Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including, among others, a most favored lender covenant, restrictions on the Company’s ability to incur liens, transfer or sell assets, engage in certain mergers and consolidations, enter into transactions with affiliates, and engage or permit any subsidiary to engage in certain lines of business. The Note Purchase Agreement also includes customary representations and warranties and events of default.

Additionally, commencing with the first full fiscal quarter ending following the Closing, so long as any Notes are outstanding, the Company may not permit (i) its leverage ratio (as determined pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement) as of the end of any fiscal quarter to exceed 3.50 to 1.00 unless a material acquisition causes an adjusted leverage ratio to apply pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement, (ii) its interest coverage ratio (as determined pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement) as of the end of any fiscal quarter for any period of four consecutive fiscal quarters to be less than 2.50 to 1.00, or (iii) Priority Debt at any time to exceed 15% of consolidated total assets (as determined pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement).

Proceeds of the Notes may be used by the Company for financing acquisitions, the refinancing of existing indebtedness and other general corporate purposes.

The foregoing summary description of the Note Purchase Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Note Purchase Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

To Each of the Purchasers Listed in

the Purchaser Schedule Hereto:

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Bruker Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), agrees with each of the Purchasers as follows:

Section 1.1. Authorization of Notes TC “Section 1.1. Authorization of Notes” f C l “2” . The Company will authorize the issue and sale of (i) CHF 50,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 2.56% Series A Senior Notes due April 15, 2034 (the “Series A Notes”), (ii) CHF 146,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 2.62% Series B Senior Notes due April 15, 2036 (the “Series B Notes”) and (iii) CHF 135,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 2.71% Series C Senior Notes due April 15, 2039 (the “Series C Notes” together with the Series A Notes and the Series B Notes, the “Notes” such term to include any amendment, restatement or other modifications from time to time pursuant to Section 19 and including any such notes issued in substitution therefor pursuant to Section 15). The Notes shall be substantially in the form set out in Schedule 1(a), 1(b) and 1(c), respectively. Certain capitalized and other terms used in this Agreement are defined in Schedule A and, for purposes of this Agreement, the rules of construction set forth in Section 22.4 shall govern.

Section 1.2. Incremental Leverage Feetc “Section 1.2. Incremental Leverage Fee” f C l 2. (a) Commencing with the first full fiscal quarter ending following the Closing, if the Leverage Ratio exceeds 3.50 to 1.00 as permitted by Section 10.1, as evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 7.2(a), an incremental leverage fee shall be due on the Notes in an aggregate amount equal to 0.50% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Notes per annum, which shall be due and payable on the Notes as and to the extent provided in Section 1.2(b) below (the “Incremental Leverage Fee”). Such Incremental Leverage Fee shall begin to accrue on the first day of the fiscal quarter following the fiscal quarter in respect of which such Officer’s Certificate was delivered (the “Incremental Leverage Start Date”), and shall continue to accrue until the Company has provided an Officer’s Certificate pursuant to Section 7.2(a) demonstrating that, as of the last day of the fiscal quarter in respect of which such Officer’s

Bruker Corporation Note Purchase Agreement

Certificate is delivered, the Leverage Ratio is not more than 3.50 to 1.00. In the event such Officer’s Certificate evidencing that the Leverage Ratio is not more than 3.50 to 1.00 is delivered, the Incremental Leverage Fee shall cease to accrue on and as of the last day of the fiscal quarter in respect of which such Officer’s Certificate is delivered.

(b) Within 10 Business Days of the delivery of an Officer’s Certificate pursuant to Section 7.2(a) for any fiscal quarter in which the Incremental Leverage Fee accrued, the Company shall pay to each holder of a Note the amount attributable to the Incremental Leverage Fee (the “Incremental Leverage Fee Payment”) which shall be the product of (i) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Notes held by such holder (or its predecessor(s) in interest, to the extent of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Notes transferred by such predecessor(s) in interest to such holder) as of the first day that the Incremental Leverage Fee begins to accrue with respect to the period covered by such Officer’s Certificate, (ii) 0.50% (to reflect the Incremental Leverage Fee) and (iii) 0.25% (to reflect that the Incremental Leverage Fee is payable quarterly). The Incremental Leverage Fee Payment, if any, shall be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds to each holder of the Notes in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The Company, the Purchasers and each holder agree that, for purposes of the Code, the Incremental Leverage Fee Payment constitutes additional interest.

(c) For avoidance of doubt, no Incremental Leverage Fee (i) will be used in calculating any Make-Whole Amount or (ii) will accrue or otherwise be payable for any period prior to the Closing.

(d) All payments of the Incremental Leverage Fee in respect of any Swapped Note shall be made in Dollars. For purposes of determining the amount of Incremental Leverage Fee due and payable with respect to a Swapped Note, such amounts shall be converted to Dollars at the rate of exchange in effect on the Incremental Leverage Start Date.

Section 1.3. Recalculation of Interesttc “Section 1.3. Recalculation of Interest” f C l 2. (a) The rates of interest due in connection with the Notes provided for in this Agreement are minimum interest rates.

(b) When entering into this Agreement, the parties have assumed that the interest payable at the rates set out in this Agreement is not and will not become subject to Swiss Withholding Tax. Notwithstanding that the parties do not anticipate (acting in good faith) that any payment of interest will be subject to Swiss Withholding Tax, they agree that, if a tax deduction for Swiss Withholding Tax is required by law to be made by a Note Party in respect of any interest payable in relation to the Notes and should in respect of such Note Party the tax gross-up obligation in Section 14.2. (Payment by Wire Transfer) be unenforceable for any reason, the applicable interest rate in relation to that interest payment shall be (i) the interest rate which would have applied to that interest payment (as provided for in this Agreement in the absence of this paragraph (b)) divided by (ii) 1 minus the rate at which the relevant tax deduction for Swiss Withholding Tax is required to be made (where the rate at which the relevant deduction or withholding of Swiss Withholding Tax is required to be made is for this purpose expressed as a fraction of 1 rather than as a percentage) and (A) the relevant Note Party shall be obliged to pay the relevant interest at the adjusted rate in accordance with this paragraph, (B) the relevant Note Party shall make the tax

Bruker Corporation Note Purchase Agreement

deduction for Swiss Withholding Tax on the recalculated interest and (C) all references to a rate of interest in this Agreement shall be construed accordingly.

(c) To the extent that interest payable by a Note Party in connection with the Notes becomes subject to Swiss Withholding Tax, each relevant holder of a Note and the Note Parties shall promptly co-operate in completing any procedural formalities (including submitting forms and documents required by the appropriate tax authority) to the extent possible and necessary for the relevant Note Party to obtain authorization to make interest payments without them being subject to Swiss Withholding Tax or to allow each relevant holder of a Note to prepare claims for the refund of any Swiss Withholding Tax so deducted.

Section 2. Sale and Purchase of Notes; Guaranties TC “Section 2. Sale and Purchase of Notes; Guaranties” f C l “1” .

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Company will issue and sell to each Purchaser and each Purchaser will purchase from the Company, at the Closing provided for in Section 3, Notes of the respective series in the principal amount specified opposite such Purchaser’s name in the Purchaser Schedule at the purchase price of 100% of the principal amount thereof. The Purchasers’ obligations hereunder are several and not joint obligations and no Purchaser shall have any liability to any Person for the performance or non-performance of any obligation by any other Purchaser hereunder.

(b) The payment of the principal, interest, Make-Whole Amount, if any, and Swap Breakage Loss, if any, on the Notes, and the performance by the Company of its obligations under this Agreement will be absolutely and unconditionally guaranteed by the Subsidiary Guarantors pursuant to the Subsidiary Guaranty, dated as of even date herewith, which shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit 1 attached hereto, in accordance with and subject to the provisions of Section 9.7 hereof.

A Subsidiary Guarantor shall be released and discharged from the Subsidiary Guaranty in accordance with Section 9.7(b).

Section 3. Closing TC “Section 3. Closing” f C l “1” .

The execution and delivery of this Agreement shall occur on February 1, 2024 (the “Execution Date”). The sale and purchase of the Notes to be purchased by each Purchaser shall occur at the offices of Chapman and Cutler LLP, 320 S. Canal Street, Chicago, Illinois 60606, at a closing (the “Closing”) on April 15, 2024 or on such other Business Day thereafter on or prior to April 17, 2024 as may be agreed upon by the Company and the Purchasers. At the Closing the Company will deliver to each Purchaser the Notes to be purchased by such Purchaser in the form of a single Note (or such greater number of Notes in denominations of at least CHF2,000,000 in the case of the Notes as such Purchaser may request) dated the date of the Closing and registered in such Purchaser’s name (or in the name of its nominee), against delivery by such Purchaser to the Company or its order of immediately available funds in the amount of the purchase price of the (i) Notes therefor by wire transfer of immediately available funds for the account of the Company to international bank account number IE24 BOFA 9900 6157 7940 12 at Bank of

Section 8.6. Make‑Whole Amount TC "Section 8.6. Make‑Whole Amount" f C l "2" .

(a) Make‑Whole Amount with respect to Non‑Swapped Notes.

The term “Make‑Whole Amount” means, with respect to any Non‑Swapped Note, an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Discounted Value of the Remaining Scheduled Payments with respect to the Called Principal of such Non‑Swapped Note over the amount of such Called Principal, provided that the Make‑Whole Amount may in no event be less than zero. All payments of Make‑Whole Amount and in respect of any Non‑Swapped Note shall be made in Swiss Francs. For the purposes of determining the Make‑Whole Amount with respect to any Non‑Swapped Note, the following terms have the following meanings:

“Applicable Percentage” in the case of a computation of the Make‑Whole Amount for any purpose means 0.50% (50 basis points).

“Called Principal” means the principal of such Non‑Swapped Note that is to be prepaid pursuant to Section 8.2 or has become or is declared to be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1, as the context requires.

“Discounted Value” means, with respect to the Called Principal of such Non‑Swapped Note, the amount obtained by discounting all Remaining Scheduled Payments with respect to such Called Principal from their respective scheduled due dates to the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, in accordance with accepted financial practice and at a discount factor (applied on the same periodic basis as that on which interest on the Non‑Swapped Note is payable) equal to the Reinvestment Yield with respect to such Called Principal.

“Non‑Swapped Note” means any Swiss Francs Note other than a Swapped Note.

“Recognized Swiss Government Bond Market Makers” means internationally recognized dealers of Swiss government bonds selected by the Company and reasonably acceptable to the holders of more than 50% in principal amount of the Non-Swapped Notes at the time outstanding (exclusive of Non-Swapped Notes then owned by any Note Party or any of their Affiliates).

“Reinvestment Yield” means, with respect to the Called Principal of such Non‑Swapped Note, the sum of (x) the Applicable Percentage plus (y) the yield to maturity implied by the “Ask Yield(s)” reported as of 10:00 a.m. (London time) on the second Business Day preceding the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, on the display designated as “Page 0#CHBMK” (or such other display as may replace Page 0#CHBMK) on Bloomberg Financial Markets for the most recently issued actively traded on the run Swiss Government bonds (“Reported”) having a maturity equal to Remaining Average Life of such Called Principal as of such Settlement Date. If there are no such Swiss Government bonds Reported having a maturity equal to such Remaining Average Life, then such implied yield to maturity will be determined by (a) converting Swiss

- -

Bruker Corporation Note Purchase Agreement

Government bond quotations to bond equivalent yields in accordance with accepted financial practice and (b) interpolating linearly between the “Ask Yields” Reported for the applicable most recently issued actively traded on‑the‑run Swiss Government bonds with the maturities (1) closest to and greater than such Remaining Average Life and (2) closest to and less than such Remaining Average Life. The Reinvestment Yield shall be rounded to the number of decimal places as appears in the interest rate of such Non‑Swapped Note.

If such yields are not Reported or the yields Reported as of such time are not ascertainable (including by way of interpolation), then “Reinvestment Yield” means, with respect to the Called Principal of such Non‑Swapped Note, the average of the yields for such Swiss Government bonds having a maturity equal to the Remaining Average Life of such Called Principal as of such Settlement Date as reported by two Recognized Swiss Government Bond Market Makers. If there are no such Swiss Government bonds having a term equal to such Remaining Average Life, such implied yield will be determined by interpolating linearly between (i) the applicable Swiss Government bonds with the maturity closest to and greater than such Remaining Average Life and (ii) the applicable Swiss Government bonds with the maturity closest to and less than such Remaining Average Life. The Reinvestment Yield shall be rounded to the number of decimal places as appears in the interest rate of such Non‑Swapped Note.

“Remaining Average Life” means, with respect to any Called Principal, the number of years obtained by dividing (i) such Called Principal into (ii) the sum of the products obtained by multiplying (a) the principal component of each Remaining Scheduled Payment with respect to such Called Principal by (b) the number of years, computed on the basis of a 360‑day year comprised of twelve 30‑day months and calculated to two decimal places, that will elapse between the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal and the scheduled due date of such Remaining Scheduled Payment.

“Remaining Scheduled Payments” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Non‑Swapped Note of any series, all payments of such Called Principal and interest thereon that would be due after the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal if no payment of such Called Principal were made prior to its scheduled due date, provided that if such Settlement Date is not a date on which interest payments are due to be made under the terms of such Non‑Swapped Note, then the amount of the next succeeding scheduled interest payment will be reduced by the amount of interest accrued to such Settlement Date and required to be paid on such Non-Swapped Note Settlement Date pursuant to Section 8.2 or Section 12.1.

“Settlement Date” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Non‑Swapped Note, the date on which such Called Principal is to be prepaid pursuant to Section 8.2 or has become or is declared to be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1, as the context requires.

(b) Make‑Whole Amount with respect to Swapped Notes.

- -

Bruker Corporation Note Purchase Agreement

All payments of Make‑Whole Amount in respect of any Swapped Note shall be made in Dollars.

“New Swap Agreement” means any cross‑currency swap agreement (which does not qualify as a Replacement Swap Agreement) pursuant to which the holder of a Swapped Note is to receive payment in Dollars and which is entered into in full or partial replacement of an Original Swap Agreement as a result of such Original Swap Agreement having terminated for any reason. The terms of a New Swap Agreement with respect to any Swapped Note do not have to be identical to those of the Original Swap Agreement with respect to such Swapped Note. Any holder of a Swapped Note that enters into or terminates a New Swap Agreement shall within a reasonable period of time thereafter deliver to the Company (i) an updated swap description describing the confirmation or termination related thereto or (ii) a copy of the confirmation or termination related thereto.

“Original Swap Agreement” means, with respect to any Swapped Note, (i) a cross‑currency swap agreement and annexes and schedules thereto (an “Initial Swap Agreement”) that is entered into on an arm’s length basis by the original Purchaser of such Swapped Note (or any affiliate thereof) in connection with the execution of this Agreement and the purchase of such Swapped Note and relates to the scheduled payments by the Company of interest and principal on such Swapped Note, under which the Purchaser of such Swapped Note is to receive payments from the counterparty thereunder in Dollars and which is more particularly described in the swap descriptions delivered by such original Purchasers to the Company on or before the issuance of such Swapped Note, (ii) any Initial Swap Agreement that has been assumed (without any waiver, amendment, deletion or replacement of any Material economic term or provision thereof) by a holder of a Swapped Note in connection with a transfer of such Swapped Note and (iii) any Replacement Swap Agreement; and a “Replacement Swap Agreement” means, with respect to any Swapped Note, a cross‑currency swap agreement and annexes and schedules thereto with payment terms and provisions (other than a reduction in notional amount, if applicable) identical to those of the Initial Swap Agreement with respect to such Swapped Note that is entered into on an arm’s length basis by the holder of such Swapped Note in full or partial replacement (by amendment, modification or otherwise) of such Initial Swap Agreement (or any subsequent Replacement Swap Agreement) in a notional amount not exceeding the outstanding principal amount of such Swapped Note following a non‑scheduled partial prepayment or a partial repayment or purchase of such Swapped Note prior to its scheduled maturity or an acceleration and rescission thereof of such Swapped Note as provided in Section 12.3. Any holder of a Swapped Note that enters into, assumes or terminates an Initial Swap Agreement or Replacement Swap Agreement shall within a reasonable period of time thereafter deliver to the Company (i) an updated swap description describing the

confirmation, assumption or termination related thereto or (ii) a copy of the confirmation, assumption or termination related thereto.

“Swap Agreement” means, with respect to any Swapped Note, an Original Swap Agreement or a New Swap Agreement, as the case may be.

“Swapped Note” means any Note that as of the date of the Closing is subject to a Swap Agreement. A “Swapped Note” shall no longer be deemed a “Swapped Note” for so long as the related Swap Agreement ceases to be in force in respect thereof; provided that if there is any Note that is a Swapped Note outstanding as of the date on which either the Company has provided notice of prepayment or offer of prepayment or purchase of such Note pursuant to Section 8 or such Swapped Note has become or is declared to be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1, then such Note shall be deemed to be a Swapped Note until payment in full of the principal, interest and Make‑Whole Amount (if any) and Swap Breakage Amount due with respect to such Note.

“Swapped Note Applicable Percentage” means in the case of a computation of the Make‑Whole Amount means 0.50% (50 basis points).

“Swapped Note Called Principal” means, with respect to any Swapped Note, the principal of such Swapped Note that is to be prepaid pursuant to Section 8.2 or Section 8.3 or has become or is declared to be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1, as the context requires.

accordance with accepted financial practice and at a discount factor (applied on the same periodic basis as that on which interest on such Swapped Note is payable) equal to the Swapped Note Reinvestment Yield with respect to such Swapped Note Called Notional Amount.

“Swapped Note Reinvestment Yield” means, with respect to the Swapped Note Called Notional Amount of any Swapped Note, the sum of (i) the Swapped Note Applicable Percentage plus (ii) the yield to maturity implied by the “Ask Yield(s)” reported as of 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the second Business Day preceding the Swapped Note Settlement Date with respect to such Swapped Note Called Notional Amount, on the display designated as “Page PXGE”(or such other display as may replace Page PXGE) on Bloomberg Financial Markets for the most recently issued actively traded on the run U.S. Treasury securities (“Swapped Reported”) having a maturity equal to the Swapped Note Remaining Average Life of such Swapped Note Called Notional Amount as of such Swapped Note Settlement Date. If there are no such U.S. Treasury securities having a maturity equal to such Swapped Note Remaining Average Life, then such implied yield to maturity will be determined by (a) converting U.S. Treasury securities quotations to bond equivalent yields in accordance with accepted financial practice and (b) interpolating linearly between the “Ask Yields” Swapped Reported for the applicable most recently issued actively traded on‑the‑run U.S. Treasury securities with the maturities (1) closest to and greater than such Swapped Note Remaining Average Life and (2) closest to and less than such Swapped Note Remaining Average Life. The Swapped Note Reinvestment Yield shall be rounded to the number of decimal places as appears in the interest rate of the applicable Swapped Note.

If such yields are not Swapped Reported or the yields Swapped Reported as of such time are not ascertainable (including by way of interpolation), then “Swapped Note Reinvestment Yield” means, with respect to the Swapped Note Called Notional Amount of any Swapped Note, the sum of the (i) Swapped Note Applicable Percentage plus (ii) the yield to maturity implied by the U.S. Treasury constant maturity yields reported for the latest day for which such yields have been so reported as of the second Business Day preceding the Swapped Note Settlement Date with respect to such Swapped Note Called Notional Amount, in Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 (or any comparable successor publication) for the U.S. Treasury constant maturity having a term equal to the Swapped Note Remaining Average Life of such Swapped Note Called Notional Amount as of such Swapped Note Settlement Date. If there is no such U.S. Treasury constant maturity having a term equal to such Swapped Note Remaining Average Life, such implied yield to maturity will be determined by interpolating linearly between (1) the U.S. Treasury constant maturity so reported with the term closest to and greater than such Swapped Note Remaining Average Life and (2) the U.S. Treasury constant maturity so reported with the term closest to and less than such Swapped Note Remaining Average Life. The Swapped Note Reinvestment Yield shall be rounded to the number of decimal places as appears in the interest rate of the applicable Swapped Note.

“Swapped Note Remaining Average Life” means, with respect to any Swapped Note Called Notional Amount, the number of years obtained by dividing (i) such Swapped

Note Called Notional Amount into (ii) the sum of the products obtained by multiplying (a) the principal component of each Swapped Note Remaining Scheduled Swap Payment with respect to such Swapped Note Called Notional Amount by (b) the number of years, computed on the basis of a 360‑day year comprised of twelve 30‑day months and calculated to two decimal places, that will elapse between the Swapped Note Settlement Date with respect to such Swapped Note Called Notional Amount and the scheduled due date of such Swapped Note Remaining Scheduled Swap Payment.

“Swapped Note Remaining Scheduled Swap Payments” means, with respect to the Swapped Note Called Notional Amount relating to any Swapped Note, the payments due to the holder of such Swapped Note in Dollars under the terms of the Swap Agreement to which such holder is a party which correspond to all payments of the Swapped Note Called Principal of such Swapped Note corresponding to such Swapped Note Called Notional Amount and interest on such Swapped Note Called Principal (other than that portion of the payment due under such Swap Agreement corresponding to the interest accrued on the Swapped Note Called Principal to the Swapped Note Settlement Date) that would be due after the Swapped Note Settlement Date with respect to such Swapped Note Called Notional Amount assuming that no payment of such Swapped Note Called Principal is made prior to its originally scheduled payment date, provided that (i) if such Swapped Note Settlement Date is not a date on which an interest payment is due to be made under the terms of such Swapped Note, then the amount of the next succeeding scheduled interest payment will be reduced by the amount of interest accrued to such Swapped Note Settlement Date and required to be paid on such Swapped Note Settlement Date pursuant to Section 8.2, Section 8.3 or Section 12.1 and (ii) if the Swap Agreement with respect to such Swapped Note is not an Original Swap Agreement, then the interest on such Swapped Note Called Notional Amount shall not exceed the amount in Dollars that would have been due with respect to such Swapped Note under the terms of the Original Swap Agreement.

“Swapped Note Settlement Date” means, with respect to the Swapped Note Called Notional Amount of any Swapped Note Called Principal of any Swapped Note, the date on which such Swapped Note Called Principal is to be prepaid pursuant to Section 8.2 or has become or is declared to be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1, as the context requires.

Section 8.7. Swap Breakage TC "Section 8.7. Swap Breakage" f C l "2" . (a) If any Swapped Note is prepaid or purchased pursuant to Sections 8.2, 8.5, 8.8 or 10.5 or has become or is declared to be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1 (each a “Swap Unwind Event”), then upon any such Swap Unwind Event (i) any resulting Swap Breakage Loss in connection therewith shall be reimbursed to the holder of such Swapped Note by the Company in Dollars no later than five Business Days after the date such holder has delivered the Swap Breakage Amount Notice with respect to such Swap Unwind Event and (ii) any resulting Swap Breakage Gain in connection therewith shall be forwarded to the Company by the holder of such Swapped Note in Dollars no later than five Business Days after the date such holder shall have received payment in full of the principal, interest and Make‑Whole Amount (if any) due hereunder with respect to such Swap Unwind Event, in each case unless alternative arrangements are otherwise agreed between the Company and the holder of a Swapped Note.

shall be responsible for calculating its own Swap Breakage Amount in Dollars in connection with any Swap Unwind Event, and such calculations shall (unless alternative arrangements are otherwise agreed between the Company and such holder of a Swapped Note) promptly, but no longer than two (2) Business Days following such Swap Unwind Event, be reported to the Company in writing and in reasonable detail (the “Swap Breakage Amount Notice”) and shall be binding on the Company absent demonstrable error.

(b) As used in this Section 8.7, “Swap Breakage Amount” means, with respect to the Swap Agreement associated with any Swapped Note, the amount that is received (in which case the Swap Breakage Amount shall be referred to as the “Swap Breakage Gain”) or paid (in which case the Swap Breakage Amount shall be referred to as the “Swap Breakage Loss”) by the holder of such Swapped Note in connection with a termination or amendment of its Swap Agreement resulting from a Swap Unwind Event, where:

(i) such Swap Breakage Amount shall be calculated upon the inclusion of an accelerated exchange and payment of principal amounts and associated accrued and unpaid interest, whereby in connection with and incorporated into the termination or amendment of the Swap Agreement and determination of the Swap Breakage Amount, all remaining associated principal payments otherwise scheduled through the natural duration of the Swap Agreement and associated accrued and unpaid interest shall be accelerated and made (in their respective applicable currencies) at the time of the settlement of such termination or amendment (or, in the case of a Swap Unwind Event resulting from a Swapped Note becoming or being declared to be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1, as if such remaining associated principal payments and associated accrued and unpaid interest had been accelerated and made at the time of the settlement of such termination); and

(ii) the holder of such Swapped Note shall determine such Swap Breakage Amount in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner in accordance with customary practices for calculating such amounts under the ISDA 1992 Multi‑Currency Cross Border Master Agreement or ISDA 2002 Master Agreement, as applicable (the “ISDA Master Agreement”) pursuant to which such holder entered into such Swap Agreement and assuming for the purpose of such calculation that there are no transactions outstanding under such ISDA Master Agreement other than such Swap Agreement,

provided, however, that if such holder (or its predecessor‑in‑interest with respect to such Swapped Note) was, but is not at the time, a party to an Original Swap Agreement but is a party to a New Swap Agreement, then the Swap Breakage Amount shall mean the lesser of (i) the Swap Breakage Amount that would have been received or paid by the holder of such Swapped Note under the terms of the Original Swap Agreement (if any) in respect of such Swapped Note to which such holder (or any affiliate thereof) was a party (or if such holder was never a party to an Original Swap Agreement, then the last Original Swap Agreement to which the most recent predecessor in interest to such holder as a holder of a Swapped Note was a party) and (ii) the Swap Breakage Amount actually received or paid by the holder of such Swapped Note under the terms of the New Swap Agreement to which such holder (or any affiliate thereof) is a party.

Each Purchaser (as defined below) listed in the “Purchaser Schedule” to the Note Purchase Agreement referred to below

Ladies and Gentlemen:

This opinion letter is furnished to you in connection with the execution and delivery by Bruker Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), of the Note Purchase Agreement dated as of February 1, 2024 (the “Note Purchase Agreement”) with the Persons listed on the signature pages thereto as purchasers (the “Purchasers”) in connection with the issuance and sale of (i) CHF 50,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 2.56% Series A Senior Notes due April 15, 2034 (the “Series A Notes”), (ii) CHF 146,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 2.62% Series B Senior Notes due April 15, 2036 (the “Series B Notes”) and (iii) CHF 135,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 2.71% Series C Senior Notes due April 15, 2039 (the “Series C Notes” together with the Series A Notes and the Series B Notes, the “Notes”). This opinion letter is rendered to you, at the request of the Company, pursuant to Section 4.4 of the Note Purchase Agreement. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Note Purchase Agreement.

We have acted as New York special counsel to (a) the Company, (b) Bruker AXS Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Bruker AXS”), (c) Bruker Scientific LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Bruker Scientific”), (d) Bruker BioSpin Corporation, a Massachusetts corporation (“Bruker BioSpin”), and (e) Bruker Nano, Inc., an Arizona corporation (“Bruker Nano” and, together with the Company, Bruker AXS, Bruker Scientific and Bruker BioSpin, collectively, the “Note Parties”) in connection with the preparation, execution and delivery of the Note Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated therein.

In connection with rendering the opinions expressed below, we have examined, among other documents, fully executed copies of the following documents (hereinafter referred to, collectively, as the “Note Documents” and the transactions contemplated thereunder, the “Transactions”):

(1) the Note Purchase Agreement;

(2) the Notes identified on Schedule 1 hereto; and

(3) the Subsidiary Guaranty dated as of the date hereof made by Bruxer AXS, Bruker Scientific, Bruker BioSpin, and Bruker Nano as Guarantors thereunder.

In addition, we have examined originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction of the following:

(1) an Officer’s Certificate of each Note Party, dated as of the date hereof, certifying to, among other things, the adoption of resolutions authorizing the execution and delivery of the Note Documents to which it is a party, and the performance by such Note Party of its obligations thereunder and the transactions contemplated thereby, and the continuing validity, force and effect of those resolutions;

Schedule 4.4(a)
(to Note Purchase Agreement)

(2) a copy of the organizational documents of each Note Party, all as more particularly described on Schedule 2 hereto (collectively, the “Organizational Documents”); and

(3) a copy of a certificate with respect to the legal existence and good standing of each Note Party, as issued by the applicable Governmental Authority as of a recent date, all as more particularly described on Schedule 3 hereto (collectively, the “Good Standing Certificates”).

We have also examined originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of such agreements and instruments, corporate records, certificates of public officials and of officers of the Note Parties, and such other documents and records and such matters of law as we have deemed necessary as a basis for the opinions set forth below. As to questions of fact material to such opinions, we have relied, without independent verification, upon certificates of public officials and of officers of the Note Parties, and the factual accuracy and completeness of all the representations and warranties made by the parties to the Note Documents and the other documents executed by the Note Parties in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Note Documents. The opinions expressed herein as to the valid existence and good standing of each Note Party are as of the date of the Good Standing Certificate of such Note Party and are based solely on such certificates and our examination of the Organizational Documents of such Note Party.

As used in this opinion letter and unless otherwise specified herein, the phrases “to our knowledge,” “known to us” and the like refer to the actual knowledge of lawyers currently in this firm who have performed substantive legal services on behalf of the Company or any of the other Note Parties in connection with the transactions referred to herein, without any independent investigation or file or docket review.

For purposes of this opinion letter, we have assumed, with your permission and without independent verification, (a) the genuineness of all signatures, (b) the legal capacity of all natural persons who have signed documents examined by us, (c) the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals and the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as certified or photostatic copies, and (d) that each of the parties to the Note Documents other than the Note Parties has all requisite power and authority to enter into and perform its respective obligations in connection with the Transactions described in the Note Documents to which it is a party and has duly authorized, executed and delivered such Note Documents and all other relevant documents, and that each such Note Document is enforceable in accordance with its terms against each of the parties thereto other than the Note Parties.

The members of our firm involved in the preparation of this opinion letter are licensed to practice law in the State of New York and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and in rendering the opinions set forth herein, we do not purport to be experts on, or to express an opinion herein concerning any law other than (i) the laws of the State of New York, (ii) the federal laws of the United States of America, (iii) for the purposes of the opinions set forth in opinion paragraphs 1, 4 and 5 below, (1) the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act (the “DLLCA”), (2) the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”), and (3) the Massachusetts Business Corporation Act (“MBCA”) and (iv) for the purposes of the opinions set forth in opinion paragraph 1 below, the Arizona Business Corporation Act (the “ABCA”), in each case, as in effect as of the date hereof, irrespective of any choice of law provisions which may be contained in any of the Note Documents.

4.4(a)-

Based upon the foregoing and in reliance thereon and subject to the assumptions, limitations, qualifications and exceptions set forth below, we are of the opinion that:

1. Each of the Company and Bruker AXS is a corporation validly existing and in good standing under the DGCL and has the corporate power and authority to execute, deliver and perform all of its obligations under the Note Documents to which it is a party. Bruker Scientific is a limited liability company validly existing and in good standing under the DLLCA and has the limited liability company power and authority to execute, deliver and perform all of its obligations under the Note Documents to which it is a party. BioSpin is a corporation validly existing and in good standing under the MBCA and has the corporate power and authority to execute, deliver and perform all of its obligations under the Note Documents to which it is a party. Nano is a corporation validly existing and in good standing under the ABCA and has the corporate power and authority to execute, deliver and perform all of its obligations under the Note Documents to which it is a party.

2. The execution, delivery and performance of each Note Party’s obligations under each of the Note Documents to which such Note Party is a party are within each such Note Party’s corporate or limited liability company, as applicable, powers and have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or limited liability company, as applicable, action. Each Note Document has been duly executed and delivered by each Note Party party thereto.

3. Each Note Document constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of each Note Party party thereto, enforceable against each such Note Party in accordance with its terms under the laws of the State of New York.

4. No consents or authorizations of, or filings with or notice to, any Governmental Authority of the State of New York or the United States of America, or pursuant to provisions of the DGCL, DLLCA or MBCA, as applicable, which, in our experience, are applicable to Transactions of the type contemplated by the Note Documents, are required for (i) the execution and delivery by each Note Party of the Notes Documents to which such Notes Party is a party, and the performance by such Notes Party of its obligations thereunder or (ii) the enforceability of the Note Documents against any Note Party to which such Note Party is a party, except, in each case, for a Form 8-K which will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) and such consents or authorizations which have been otherwise been obtained or made and are in full force and effect.

5. The issuance and sale of the Notes by the Company under the Note Purchase Agreement, the execution and delivery by each Note Party of the Note Documents to which such Note Party is a party, and the performance by such Note Party of its obligations under the Note Documents to which such Note Party is a party, do not violate (i) the DGCL, DLLCA or MBCA, as applicable, or any or any present law, statute or regulation of the State of New York or the United States of America, which, in each case, is in our experience normally applicable to Transactions of the type contemplated by the Note Documents, or (ii) the Organizational Documents of such Note Party, in each case, as in effect on the date hereof.

6. Neither the execution and delivery by each Note Party of the Note Documents to which such Note Party is a party, nor the performance by such Note Party of its obligations thereunder, violate any provision of the agreements, instruments or indentures listed on Schedule 4 hereto (the “Specified Agreements”), in each case, as in effect on the date hereof.

4.4(a)-

7. To our knowledge, except as disclosed in the Note Purchase Agreement or the schedules thereto, there are no actions, suits or proceedings by or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority pending against or threatened in writing against or affecting any Note Party (a) as to which there is a reasonable possibility of an adverse determination and that, if adversely determined, could reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect or (b) that involve any Note Document or the Transactions.

8. No Note Party is and, solely after giving effect to the issuance of the Notes pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement and the application of the proceeds thereof as described in the Note Purchase Agreement, will be subject to registration and regulation as an “investment company” as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as in effect on the date hereof.

9. Assuming that each Note Party complies with the provisions of the Note Purchase Agreement relating to the use of proceeds, neither the issuance of the Notes nor the application of the proceeds of the sale of the Notes contravene Regulations T, U or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, as in effect on the date hereof.

10. Assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties and compliance with the covenants of the Company and the Purchasers in the Note Purchase Agreement, the issuance and sale of the Notes by the Company under the Note Purchase Agreement does not require the registration of the Notes under the Securities Act of 1933, as in effect on the date hereof, or the qualification of an indenture under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as in effect on the date hereof.

The opinions contained herein are subject to the following conditions and qualifications:

(A) The foregoing opinions are subject to the following qualifications and limitations and are based upon the following further assumptions:

(a) the opinions stated herein are limited by (i) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent transfer, preference and other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and (ii) general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law, and to public policy, including, without limitation: (A) the possible unavailability of specific performance, injunctive relief or any other equitable remedy and (B) concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing,

(b) except to the extent expressly stated in the opinions contained herein, we do not express any opinion with respect to the effect on the opinions stated herein of (i) the compliance or non-compliance of any party to any Note Document with any laws, rules or regulations applicable to such party or (ii) the legal status or legal capacity of any such party to any Note Document;

(c) except to the extent expressly stated in the opinions contained herein, we do not express any opinion with respect to any law, rule or regulation that is applicable to any party to any Note Document or the Transactions solely because such law, rule or regulation is part of a regulatory regime applicable to any such party or any of its affiliates as a result of the specific assets or business operations of such party or such affiliates;

(d) except to the extent expressly provided in opinion paragraph 3 above, we have assumed that each Note Document constitutes a valid and binding obligation of each party thereto, enforceable against such party in accordance with its terms;

4.4(a)-

(e) except to the extent expressly provided in opinion paragraph 6 above with respect to the Specified Agreements, the opinions stated herein are limited to the Note Documents specifically identified herein without regard to any other agreement or document referenced in the Note Documents (including agreements or other documents incorporated by reference or attached or annexed thereto);

(i) (i) we do not express any opinion with respect to the creation or perfection of any security interest and (ii) we do not express any opinion with respect to the priority of any security interest;

(j) we call to your attention that the opinions stated herein are subject to possible judicial action giving effect to governmental actions or laws of jurisdictions other than those with respect to which we express our opinion;

(k) no opinion is rendered herein as to the enforceability of any provisions of the Note Documents providing for choice of governing law to the extent that the legality, validity, binding effect or enforceability of any such provision is to be determined by any court other than a court of the State of New York or a federal district court sitting in the State of New York, in each case, applying the choice of law principles of the State of New York, including Sections 5-1401 of the New York General Obligations Law;

(l) no opinion is rendered herein as to (i) the enforceability of any provision in the Note Documents purporting to waive the effect of applicable laws, rights to notice and hearings prior to the granting of any relief, or the right to trial by jury; (ii) the Corporate Transparency Act or any rules or regulations promulgated thereunder; (iii) the enforceability of any provision of the Note Documents relating to confessions of judgment, waivers of defenses, the imposition of “penalty-rate” interest or the imposition of interest on interest; (iv) the effectiveness of any power of attorney granted pursuant to the Note Documents; (v) any provision of the Note Documents which provides for indemnification, contribution, waiver or release to the extent such provision may be limited or rendered unenforceable, in whole or in part, by applicable Federal or State securities laws, criminal statutes, or the policies underlying such laws and by the effect of general rules of contract law that limit the enforceability of provisions releasing, exculpating or exempting a party from, or requiring indemnification for liability for action or inaction, to the extent the action or inaction involves gross negligence, recklessness, willful misconduct or unlawful conduct, or waivers of contingent claims or rights; (vi) any provision purporting to grant relief or remedies in advance, including, without limitation, any consent to the appointment of a receiver or the granting of relief from the automatic stay in bankruptcy under Title I of the Bankruptcy Reform Act of 1978, as amended and codified at Title 11 of the United States Code; (vii) the availability of the remedy of specific performance or of any other equitable remedy or relief, to enforce any right or obligation under the Note Documents; (viii) any provision of the Note Documents to the extent that it provides that any Purchaser

4.4(a)-

may set off and apply any deposits at any time held, or any other indebtedness at any time owing, by such Purchaser to or for the account of any Note Party; (ix) any provision of the Note Documents to the effect that terms may not be waived or modified except in writing; (x) any provision of the Note Documents which provides for severability of provisions; (xi) the payment of any liquidated damages or other amount which may be held by a court to be a penalty or forfeiture; (xii) except to the extent expressly provided in opinion paragraphs 8 and 10 above, Federal or State securities or blue sky laws, rules or regulations, or ERISA or tax, antitrust or environmental laws, rules, regulations or ordinances, (xiii) except to the extent expressly provided in opinion paragraph 9 above, Regulations G, T, U or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System; (xiv) the waiver of inconvenient forum or any claim that venue is improper or provisions relating to personal jurisdiction or subject matter jurisdiction of the courts set forth in the Note Documents; (xv) the USA Patriot Act or any law relating to anti-money laundering, foreign assets control, sanctions or national security; (xvi) the Dodd–Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act or any other law which relates to or otherwise concerns swaps, hedges, derivatives or similar types of instruments; (xvii) the effect or applicability of the Defense Production Act of 1950, as amended, including any implementing regulations thereof, or as to the jurisdiction of the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) or other related governmental agencies in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Note Documents; (xviii) the laws or regulations related to export controls or economic or financial sanctions administered by the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS), or other related governmental agencies; or (xix) the enforceability of any provision of the Note Documents pursuant to which any party may be obligated to pay legal and other professional fees incurred by or on behalf of another party or the cost of collection following a default to the extent a court may conclude that such fees are unreasonable;

(m) we note that under the laws of the State of New York, the remedies available in the State of New York for the enforcement of the Note Documents could be affected by any failure of any Person seeking enforcement thereof that is not organized in the State of New York (i) to become authorized, under Article 13 of the New York Business Corporation Law, or the equivalent under New York Limited Liability Company Law or similar statute, to do business in the State of New York or (ii) to become authorized, under Article 5 of the New York Banking Law, to transact business in the State of New York as a foreign banking corporation. Further, no opinion is given herein as to any similar laws or requirements in any other jurisdiction;

(n) we have assumed that there are no agreements or understandings among the parties, written or oral, and there is no usage of trade or course of prior dealing among the parties that would, in either case, define, supplement, or qualify the terms of the Note Documents;

(o) for purposes of the opinion set forth in opinion paragraph 9 above pertaining to Regulation T (12 CFR Part 220) or Regulation X (12 CFR Part 224), in each case, as promulgated by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, we have assumed that none of the Purchasers is a “creditor,” as that term is defined in 12 C.F.R. § 220.2;

(p) with regard to our opinions stated in opinion paragraph 6 above concerning the Specified Agreements, we express no opinion as to (i) financial covenants or similar provisions therein requiring financial calculations or determinations to ascertain compliance, (ii) provisions therein relating to the occurrence of a “material adverse event” or words of similar import or (iii) any statement or writing that may constitute parol evidence bearing on interpretation or construction; and

(q) with respect to any matters concerning the DGCL, the DLLCA or the ABCA, we draw your attention to the fact that we are not admitted to practice in the State of Delaware or the State of Arizona. With your permission, our opinions expressed herein concerning the foregoing statutes are based solely upon our review of the statutory language of said statutes, as in effect on the date hereof and not on any

The Initial Notes and any other Notes that may from time to time be issued pursuant to the Note Agreement (including any notes issued in substitution for any of the Notes) are herein collectively called the “Notes” and individually a “Note”.

III. It is a condition to the Agreement of the Purchasers to purchase the Notes that this Guaranty Agreement shall have been executed and delivered by each Guarantor and shall be in full force and effect.

IV. Each Guarantor will receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by the Note Agreement. The Board of Directors or other governing body, as applicable, of each Guarantor has determined that the incurrence of such obligations is in the best interests of such Guarantor.

NOW THEREFORE, in order to induce, and in consideration of, the execution and delivery of the Note Agreement and the purchase of the Notes by each of the Purchasers, each Guarantor hereby covenants and agrees with, and represents and warrants to each of the holders as follows:

Section 1. Guaranty TC “Section 1. Guaranty” f A l “1” .

Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably, unconditionally and jointly and severally with the other Guarantors guarantees to each holder, the due and punctual payment in full of (a) the principal of, Make-Whole Amount, if any, Swap Breakage Loss, if any, and interest on (including, without limitation, interest accruing after the filing of any petition in bankruptcy, or the commencement of any insolvency, reorganization or like proceeding, whether or not a claim for post-filing or post-petition interest is allowed in such proceeding), and any other amounts due under, the Notes when and as the same shall become due and payable (whether at stated maturity or by required or optional prepayment or by acceleration or otherwise), (b) any other sums which may become due under the terms and provisions of the Notes, the Note Agreement or any other instrument referred to therein and (c) the performance of all other obligations of the Company under the Note Agreement (all such obligations described in clauses (a), (b) and (c) above are herein called the “Guaranteed Obligations”). The guaranty in the preceding sentence is an absolute, present and continuing guaranty of payment and not of collectability and is in no way conditional or contingent upon any attempt to collect from the Company or any other guarantor of the Notes (including, without limitation, any other Guarantor hereunder) or upon any other action, occurrence or circumstance whatsoever. In the event that the Company shall fail to so pay any of such Guaranteed Obligations, each Guarantor agrees to pay the same when due to the holders entitled thereto, without demand, presentment, protest or notice of any kind, in lawful money of Switzerland or Dollars, as applicable, pursuant to the requirements for payment specified in the Notes and the Note Agreement. Each default in payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall give rise to a separate cause of action hereunder and separate suits may be brought hereunder as each cause of action arises. Each Guarantor agrees that the Notes issued in connection with the Note Agreement may (but need not) make reference to this Guaranty Agreement.

Each Guarantor agrees to pay and to indemnify and save each holder harmless from and against any damage, loss, cost or reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) which such holder may incur or be subject to as a consequence, direct or indirect, of (x) any breach by such Guarantor, by any other Guarantor or by the Company of any warranty, covenant, term or condition in, or the occurrence of any default under, this Guaranty Agreement, the Notes, the Note Agreement or any other instrument referred to therein, together with all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses resulting from the compromise or defense of any claims or liabilities arising as a result of any such breach or default, (y) any legal action commenced to challenge the validity or enforceability of this Guaranty Agreement, the Notes, the Note Agreement or any other instrument referred to therein and (z) enforcing or defending (or determining whether or how to enforce or defend) the provisions of this Guaranty Agreement.

Each Guarantor hereby acknowledges and agrees that such Guarantor’s liability hereunder is joint and several with the other Guarantors and any other Person(s) who may join this Guaranty Agreement and guarantee the obligations and Indebtedness under and in respect of the Notes and the Note Agreement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions or any other provision of this Guaranty Agreement, the Purchasers (on behalf of themselves and their successors and assigns) and each

Guarantor hereby agree that if at any time the Guaranteed Obligations exceed the Maximum Guaranteed Amount determined as of such time with regard to such Guarantor, then this Guaranty Agreement shall be automatically amended to reduce the Guaranteed Obligations to the Maximum Guaranteed Amount. Such amendment shall not require the written consent of any Guarantor or any holder and shall be deemed to have been automatically consented to by each Guarantor and each holder. Each Guarantor agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations may at any time exceed the Maximum Guaranteed Amount without affecting or impairing the obligation of such Guarantor. “Maximum Guaranteed Amount” means as of the date of determination with respect to a Guarantor, the lesser of (a) the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations outstanding on such date and (b) the maximum amount that would not render such Guarantor’s liability under this Guaranty Agreement subject to avoidance under Section 548 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (or any successor provision) or any comparable provision of applicable state law.

Section 2. Obligations Absolute TC “Section 2. Obligations Absolute” f A l “1”.

The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall be primary, absolute, irrevocable and unconditional, irrespective of the validity or enforceability of the Notes, the Note Agreement or any other instrument referred to therein, shall not be subject to any counterclaim, setoff, deduction or defense based upon any claim such Guarantor may have against the Company or any holder or otherwise, and shall remain in full force and effect without regard to, and shall not be released, discharged or in any way affected by, any circumstance or condition whatsoever (whether or not such Guarantor shall have any knowledge or notice thereof), including, without limitation: (a) any amendment to, modification of, supplement to or restatement of the Notes, the Note Agreement or any other instrument referred to therein (it being agreed that the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall apply to the Notes, the Note Agreement or any such other instrument as so amended, modified, supplemented or restated) or any assignment or transfer of any thereof or of any interest therein, or any furnishing, acceptance or release of any security for the Notes or the addition, substitution or release of any other Guarantor or any other entity or other Person primarily or secondarily liable in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations; (b) any waiver, consent, extension, indulgence or other action or inaction under or in respect of the Notes, the Note Agreement or any other instrument referred to therein; (c) any bankruptcy, insolvency, arrangement, reorganization, readjustment, composition, liquidation or similar proceeding with respect to the Company or its property; (d) any merger, amalgamation or consolidation of any Guarantor or of the Company into or with any other Person or any sale, lease or transfer of any or all of the assets of any Guarantor or of the Company to any Person; (e) any failure on the part of the Company for any reason to comply with or perform any of the terms of any other agreement with any Guarantor; (f) any failure on the part of any holder to obtain, maintain, register or otherwise perfect any security; or (g) any other event or circumstance (other than the indefeasible payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations) which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor (whether or not similar to the foregoing), and in any event however material or prejudicial it may be to any Guarantor or to any subrogation, contribution or reimbursement rights any Guarantor may otherwise have. Each Guarantor covenants that its obligations hereunder will not be discharged except by indefeasible payment in full in cash of all of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other obligations hereunder.

Section 3. Waiver TC “Section 3. Waiver” f A l “1” .

Each Guarantor unconditionally waives to the fullest extent permitted by law, (a) notice of acceptance hereof, of any action taken or omitted in reliance hereon and of any default by the Company in the payment of any amounts due under the Notes, the Note Agreement or any other instrument referred to therein, and of any of the matters referred to in Section 2 hereof, (b) all notices which may be required by statute, rule of law or otherwise to preserve any of the rights of any holder against such Guarantor, including, without limitation, presentment to or demand for payment from the Company or any Guarantor with respect to any Note, notice to the Company or to any Guarantor of default or protest for nonpayment or dishonor and the filing of claims with a court in the event of the bankruptcy of the Company, (c) any right to require any holder to enforce, assert or exercise any right, power or remedy including, without limitation, any right, power or remedy conferred in the Note Agreement or the Notes, (d) any requirement for diligence on the part of any holder and (e) any other act or omission or thing or delay in doing any other act or thing which might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of such Guarantor or otherwise operate as a discharge of such Guarantor or in any manner lessen the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder.

Section 4. Obligations Unimpaired TC “Section 4. Obligations Unimpaired” f A l “1” .

Each Guarantor authorizes the holders, without notice or demand to such Guarantor or any other Guarantor and without affecting its obligations hereunder, from time to time: (a) to renew, compromise, extend, accelerate or otherwise change the time for payment of, all or any part of the Notes, the Note Agreement or any other instrument referred to therein; (b) to change any of the representations, covenants, events of default or any other terms or conditions of or pertaining to the Notes, the Note Agreement or any other instrument referred to therein, including, without limitation, decreases or increases in amounts of principal, rates of interest, the Make-Whole Amount, Swap Breakage Loss or any other obligation; (c) to take and hold security for the payment of the Notes, the Note Agreement or any other instrument referred to therein, for the performance of this Guaranty Agreement or otherwise for the Indebtedness guaranteed hereby and to exchange, enforce, waive, subordinate and release any such security; (d) to apply any such security and to direct the order or manner of sale thereof as the holders in their sole discretion may determine; (e) to obtain additional or substitute endorsers or guarantors or release any other Guarantor or any other Person or entity primarily or secondarily liable in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations; (f) to exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against the Company, any Guarantor or any other Person; and (g) to apply any sums, by whomsoever paid or however realized, to the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other obligations owed hereunder. The holders shall have no obligation to proceed against any additional or substitute endorsers or guarantors or to pursue or exhaust any security provided by the Company, such Guarantor or any other Guarantor or any other Person or to pursue any other remedy available to the holders.

If an event permitting the acceleration of the maturity of the principal amount of any Notes shall exist and such acceleration shall at such time be prevented or the right of any holder to receive any payment on account of the Guaranteed Obligations shall at such time be delayed or otherwise affected by reason of the pendency against the Company, any Guarantor or any other guarantors

of a case or proceeding under a bankruptcy or insolvency law, such Guarantor agrees that, for purposes of this Guaranty Agreement and its obligations hereunder, the maturity of such principal amount shall be deemed to have been accelerated with the same effect as if the holder thereof had accelerated the same in accordance with the terms of the Note Agreement, and such Guarantor shall forthwith pay such accelerated Guaranteed Obligations.

Section 5. Subrogation and Subordination TC “Section 5. Subrogation and Subordination” f A l “1” .

(a) Each Guarantor will not exercise any rights which it may have acquired by way of subrogation under this Guaranty Agreement, by any payment made hereunder or otherwise, or accept any payment on account of such subrogation rights, or any rights of reimbursement, contribution or indemnity or any rights or recourse to any security for the Notes or this Guaranty Agreement unless and until all of the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash.

(b) Each Guarantor hereby subordinates the payment of all Indebtedness and other obligations of the Company or any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations owing to such Guarantor, whether now existing or hereafter arising, including, without limitation, all rights and claims described in clause (a) of this Section 5, to the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all of the Guaranteed Obligations. If the Required Holders so request at any time following the occurrence of an Event of Default, and so long as such Event of Default is continuing, any such Indebtedness or other obligations shall be enforced and performance received by such Guarantor as trustee for the holders and the proceeds thereof shall be paid over to the holders promptly, in the form received (together with any necessary endorsements) to be applied to the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, as may be directed by the Required Holders, but without reducing or affecting in any manner the liability of any Guarantor under this Guaranty Agreement; provided, that, as long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, such Guarantor may receive payments of principal and interest from the Company or such other guarantor with respect to such Indebtedness.

(c) If any amount or other payment is made to or accepted by any Guarantor in violation of any of the preceding clauses (a) and (b) of this Section 5, such amount shall be deemed to have been paid to such Guarantor for the benefit of, and held in trust for the benefit of, the holders and shall be paid over to the holders promptly, in the form received (together with any necessary endorsements) to be applied to the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, as may be directed by the Required Holders, but without reducing or affecting in any manner the liability of such Guarantor under this Guaranty Agreement.

(d) Each Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by the Note Agreement and that its agreements set forth in this Guaranty Agreement (including this Section 5) are knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.

(e) Each Guarantor hereby agrees that, to the extent that a Guarantor shall have paid an amount hereunder to any holder that is greater than the net value of the benefits received,

directly or indirectly, by such paying Guarantor as a result of the issuance and sale of the Notes (such net value, its “Proportionate Share”), such paying Guarantor shall, subject to Section 5(a) and 5(b), be entitled to contribution from any Guarantor that has not paid its Proportionate Share of the Guaranteed Obligations. Any amount payable as a contribution under this Section 5(e) shall be determined as of the date on which the related payment is made by such Guarantor seeking contribution and each Guarantor acknowledges that the right to contribution hereunder shall constitute an asset of such Guarantor to which such contribution is owed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this Section 5(e) shall in no respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Guarantor to the holders of the Notes hereunder or under the Notes, the Note Agreement or any other document, instrument or agreement executed in connection therewith, and each Guarantor shall remain jointly and severally liable for the full payment and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations.

Section 6. Reinstatement of Guaranty TC “Section 6. Reinstatement of Guaranty” f A l “1” .

This Guaranty Agreement shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as the case may be, if and to the extent at any time payment, in whole or in part, of any of the sums due to any holder on account of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by a holder upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the Company or any other guarantors, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a custodian, receiver, trustee or other officer with similar powers with respect to the Company or any other guarantors or any part of its or their property, or otherwise, all as though such payments had not been made.

Section 7. Rank of Guaranty TC “Section 7. Rank of Guaranty” f A l “1” .

If any deduction or withholding for any Tax of a Taxing Jurisdiction shall at any time be required in respect of any amounts to be paid by a Guarantor under this Guaranty Agreement, such Guarantor, but in the case of a Swiss Guarantor (as defined below) subject to Section 10 (c), will pay to the relevant Taxing Jurisdiction the full amount required to be withheld, deducted or otherwise paid before penalties attach thereto or interest accrues thereon and pay to each holder such additional amounts as may be necessary in order that the net amounts paid to such holder pursuant to the terms of this Guaranty Agreement after such deduction, withholding or payment (including, without limitation, any required deduction or withholding of Tax on or with respect to such additional amount), shall be not less than the amounts then due and payable to such holder under the terms of this Guaranty Agreement before the assessment of such Tax, provided that no payment of any additional amounts shall be required to be made for or on account of:

(a) any Tax that would not have been imposed but for the existence of any present or former connection between such holder (or a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member of, shareholder of, or possessor of a power over, such holder, if such holder is an estate, trust, partnership or corporation or any Person other than the holder to whom the Notes or any amount payable thereon is attributable for the purposes of such Tax) and the Taxing Jurisdiction, other than the mere holding of the relevant Note or the receipt of payments thereunder or in respect thereof, including, without limitation, such holder (or such other Person described in the above parenthetical) being or having been a citizen or resident thereof, or being or having been present or engaged in trade or business therein or having or having had an establishment, office, fixed base or branch therein, provided that this exclusion shall not apply with respect to a Tax that would not have been imposed but for such Guarantor, after the date of the Closing, opening an office in, moving an office to,

reincorporating in, or changing the Taxing Jurisdiction from or through which payments on account of this Guaranty Agreement are made to, the Taxing Jurisdiction imposing the relevant Tax;

(b) any Tax that would not have been imposed but for the delay or failure by such holder (following a written request by such Guarantor) in the filing with the relevant Taxing Jurisdiction of Forms (as defined below) that are required to be filed by such holder to avoid or reduce such Taxes (including for such purpose any refilings or renewals of filings that may from time to time be required by the relevant Taxing Jurisdiction), provided that the filing of such Forms would not (in such holder’s reasonable judgment) impose any unreasonable burden (in time, resources or otherwise) on such holder or result in any confidential or proprietary income tax return information being revealed, either directly or indirectly, to any Person and such delay or failure could have been lawfully avoided by such holder, and provided further that such holder shall be deemed to have satisfied the requirements of this clause (b) upon the good faith completion and submission of such Forms (including refilings or renewals of filings) as may be specified in a written request of such Guarantor no later than 60 days after receipt by such holder of such written request (accompanied by copies of such Forms and related instructions, if any, all in the English language or with an English translation thereof); or

and provided further that in no event shall such Guarantor be obligated to pay such additional amounts (i) to any holder not resident in the United States of America or any other jurisdiction in which an original Purchaser is resident for tax purposes on the date of the Closing in excess of the amounts that such Guarantor would be obligated to pay if such holder had been a resident of the United States of America or such other jurisdiction, as applicable, for purposes of, and eligible for the benefits of, any double taxation treaty from time to time in effect between the United States of America or such other jurisdiction and the relevant Taxing Jurisdiction or (ii) to any holder of a Note registered in the name of a nominee if under the law of the relevant Taxing Jurisdiction (or the current regulatory interpretation of such law) securities held in the name of a nominee do not qualify for an exemption from the relevant Tax and such Guarantor shall have given timely notice of such law or interpretation to such holder.

By acceptance of any Note, the holder of such Note agrees, subject to the limitations of clause (b) above, that it will from time to time with reasonable promptness (x) duly complete and deliver to or as reasonably directed by such Guarantor all such forms, certificates, documents and returns provided to such holder by such Guarantor (collectively, together with instructions for completing the same, “Forms”) required to be filed by or on behalf of such holder in order to avoid or reduce any such Tax pursuant to the provisions of an applicable statute, regulation or administrative practice of the relevant Taxing Jurisdiction or of a tax treaty between the United States and such Taxing Jurisdiction and (y) provide such Guarantor with such information with respect to such holder as such Guarantor may reasonably request in order to complete any such Forms, provided that nothing in this Section 9 shall require any holder to provide information with respect to any such Form or otherwise if in the opinion of such holder such Form or disclosure of

information would involve the disclosure of tax return or other information that is confidential or proprietary to such holder, and provided, further, that each such holder shall be deemed to have complied with its obligation under this paragraph with respect to any Form if such Form shall have been duly completed and delivered by such holder to such Guarantor or mailed to the appropriate taxing authority (which in the case of any Form which requires that it be submitted to the United States Internal Revenue Service as a condition to its effectiveness in the Taxing Jurisdiction shall be deemed to occur when such Form is submitted to the United States Internal Revenue Service in accordance with instructions contained in such Form), whichever is applicable, within 60 days following a written request of such Guarantor (which request shall be accompanied by copies of such Form and English translations of any such Form not in the English language) and, in the case of a transfer of any Note, at least 90 days prior to the relevant interest payment date.

On or before the date of the Closing such Guarantor will furnish each Purchaser with copies of the appropriate Form (and English translation if required as aforesaid) currently required to be filed in the United States pursuant to clause (b) of the second paragraph of this Section 9, if any, and in connection with the transfer of any Note such Guarantor will furnish the transferee of such Note with copies of any Form and English translation then required.

If any payment is made by such Guarantor to or for the account of the holder of any Note after deduction for or on account of any Taxes, and increased payments are made by such Guarantor pursuant to this Section 9, then, if such holder at its reasonable discretion determines that it has received or been granted a refund of such Taxes, such holder shall, to the extent that it can do so without prejudice to the retention of the amount of such refund, reimburse to such Guarantor such amount as such holder shall, in its reasonable discretion, determine to be attributable to the relevant Taxes or deduction or withholding (after deduction of costs). Nothing herein contained shall interfere with the right of the holder of any Note to arrange its tax affairs in whatever manner it thinks fit and, in particular, no holder of any Note shall be under any obligation to claim relief from its corporate profits or similar tax liability in respect of such Tax in priority to any other claims, reliefs, credits or deductions available to it or (other than as set forth in clause (b) above) oblige any holder of any Note to disclose any information relating to its tax affairs or any computations in respect thereof.

Such Guarantor will furnish the holders of Notes, promptly and in any event within 60 days after the date of any payment by such Guarantor of any Tax in respect of any amounts paid under this Guaranty Agreement, the original tax receipt issued by the relevant taxation or other authorities involved for all amounts paid as aforesaid (or if such original tax receipt is not available or must legally be kept in the possession of such Guarantor, a duly certified copy of the original tax receipt or any other reasonably satisfactory evidence of payment), together with such other documentary evidence with respect to such payments as may be reasonably requested from time to time by any holder of a Note.

If such Guarantor is required by any applicable law, as modified by the practice of the taxation or other authority of any relevant Taxing Jurisdiction, to make any deduction or withholding of any Tax in respect of which such Guarantor would be required to pay any additional amount under this Section 9, but for any reason does not make such deduction or withholding with the result that a liability in respect of such Tax is assessed directly against the holder of any Note,

and such holder pays such liability, then such Guarantor will promptly reimburse such holder for such payment (including any related interest or penalties to the extent such interest or penalties arise by virtue of a default or delay by such Guarantor) upon demand by such holder accompanied by an official receipt (or a duly certified copy thereof) issued by the taxation or other authority of the relevant Taxing Jurisdiction.

If such Guarantor makes payment to or for the account of any holder of a Note and such holder is entitled to a refund of the Tax to which such payment is attributable upon the making of a filing (other than a Form described above), then such holder shall, as soon as practicable after receiving written request from such Guarantor (which shall specify in reasonable detail and supply the refund forms to be filed) use reasonable efforts to complete and deliver such refund forms to or as directed by such Guarantor, subject, however, to the same limitations with respect to Forms as are set forth above.

The obligations of such Guarantor under this Section 9 shall survive the payment or transfer of any Note and the provisions of this Section 9 shall also apply to successive transferees of the Notes.

Section 10. Swiss Guarantee Limitations TC “Section 10. Swiss Guarantee Limitations” f A l “1” .

(a) If and to the extent that a Guarantor incorporated under the laws of Switzerland and/or having its registered office in Switzerland and/or qualifying as a Swiss resident pursuant to art. 9 of the Swiss Federal Withholding Tax Act (for the purpose of this Guaranty Agreement a “Swiss Guarantor”) under or in connection with this Guaranty Agreement guarantees obligations other than obligations of one of its direct or indirect subsidiaries (i.e. obligations of such Swiss Guarantor’s direct or indirect parent companies (up-stream liabilities) or sister companies (cross-stream liabilities)) (the “Restricted Obligations”) and that the making of a payment in fulfilling the guarantee obligations hereunder with respect to Restricted Obligations would under Swiss corporate law (inter alia, prohibiting capital repayments or restricting distributions), at the time payment is due, not be permitted, then such obligations and payment amount shall from time to time be limited to the amount permitted to be paid under Swiss corporate law; provided that such limited amount shall at no time be less than such Swiss Guarantor’s distributable capital at the time or times payment under or in connection with this Guaranty Agreement is requested from such Swiss Guarantor, and further provided that such limitation (as may apply from time to time or not) shall not (generally or definitively) release such Swiss Guarantor from payment obligations hereunder in excess thereof, but merely postpone the payment date therefore until such times as payment is again permitted notwithstanding such limitation. Any and all indemnities, subordination undertakings and other financial undertakings assumed by a Swiss Guarantor under or in connection with this Guaranty Agreement shall be construed in a manner consistent with the provisions of this Section.

(b) In case a Swiss Guarantor who must make a payment in respect of Restricted Obligations under or in connection with this Guaranty Agreement is obliged to withhold Swiss Withholding Tax in respect of such payment, such Swiss Guarantor shall:

(i) use best efforts that such payments can be made without deduction of Swiss Withholding Tax, or with deduction of Swiss Withholding Tax at a reduced rate, by discharging the liability to such tax by notification pursuant to applicable law (including double tax treaties) rather than payment of the tax;

(ii) if the notification procedure pursuant to sub-paragraph (i) above does not apply, deduct Swiss Withholding Tax at the rate of 35% (or such other rate as in force from time to time), or if the notification procedure pursuant to sub-paragraph (i) above applies for a part of the Swiss Withholding Tax only, deduct Swiss Withholding Tax at the reduced rate resulting after the discharge of part of such tax by notification under applicable law, from any payment made by it in respect of Restricted Obligations and promptly pay any such taxes to the Swiss Federal Tax Administration (Eidgenössische Steuerverwaltung);

Section 12. German Guarantee Limitations TC “Section 12. German Guarantee Limitations” f A l “1” .

Nothing in this Guaranty shall oblige a Guarantor that is a Guarantor incorporated or established in Germany in the legal form of a limited liability company (GmbH) or a limited partnership with a limited liability company as general partner (GmbH & Co.

shareholder within the meaning of Section 15 of the German Stock Corporation Act (Aktiengesetz) (other than the Subsidiaries of such Guarantor) and such payment would cause such Guarantor not to have sufficient net assets (Reinvermögen) to maintain its stated share capital (Stammkapital) and as a result cause a violation of Sections 30, 31 of the German Limited Liability Companies Act (Gesetz betreffend die Gesellschaften mit beschränkter Haftung).

If (i) Section 26 of that certain Guaranty (Foreign Subsidiaries ) dated as of December 7, 2021 among each of the Foreign Subsidiaries (as defined therein) (the “Credit Agreement Foreign Guaranty”) or (ii) the last paragraph of Section 10.02 of the Credit Agreement, is amended, modified or supplemented after the date hereof in any material respect in the determination of the Required Holders, the Company and Subsidiary Guarantors agree that such change shall be deemed automatically incorporated by reference to Section 12 of this Agreement, mutatis mutandis, as if set forth in full herein, effective as of the date when such change shall have become effective under the Credit Agreement Foreign Guaranty or Credit Agreement.

the extent of the amount of Swiss Francs or Dollars which such holder could purchase in the foreign exchange markets in London, England, with the amount of such other currency in accordance with normal banking procedures at the rate of exchange prevailing on the London Banking Day following receipt of the payment first referred to above. If the amount of Swiss Francs that could be so purchased is less than the amount of Swiss Francs or Dollars originally due to such holder, such Guarantor agrees to the fullest extent permitted by law, to indemnify and save harmless such holder from and against such deficiency; provided, however, that such holder shall provide written notice to the Company of any such deficiency and a calculation thereof in reasonable detail.
