SECOND AMENDMENT TO NOTE PURCHASE AGREEMENT

RE: Note Purchase Agreement dated as of February 1, 2010

and

$100,000,000 5.00% Senior Guaranteed Notes, Series B, due February 1, 2020

Dated as of February 12, 2019

To each of the holders (the “Noteholders”)

listed in Schedule I to this Second

Amendment to Note Purchase Agreement

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Reference is made to (i) the Note Purchase Agreement dated as of February 1, 2010, by and among Waters Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and each of you (the “Agreement”) and (ii) the $100,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 5.00% Senior Guaranteed Notes, Series B, due February 1, 2020 of the Company of which $100,000,000 is currently outstanding (the “Notes”). Capitalized terms used in this Second Amendment to Note Purchase Agreement (this “Amendment”) without definition shall have the meanings given such terms in the Agreement.

For good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Company requests the amendment of certain provisions of the Agreement as hereinafter provided.

Upon your acceptance hereof in the manner hereinafter provided and upon satisfaction of all conditions to the effectiveness hereof and receipt by the Company of similar acceptances from the Noteholders, this Amendment shall be effective, but only in the respects hereinafter set forth:

SECTION 1. AMENDMENTS TO AGREEMENT.

Section 1.1. Leverage Ratio. Section 10.9 of the Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

Section 10.9. Leverage Ratio.

(a) The Company will not permit the Leverage Ratio as of the end of any fiscal quarter to exceed 3.50:1.00; provided that, following the completion of a Material Acquisition that, on a pro forma basis, giving effect to any related incurrence or repayment of Debt, would result in an increase in the Company’s Leverage Ratio, if the Company

Waters Corporation |  | Second Amendment to Note Purchase Agreement

shall so elect by a notice delivered to the holders of Notes as of the last day of the fiscal quarter the Material Acquisition was consummated (a “Leverage Ratio Increase Election”), such maximum Leverage Ratio shall be increased to 4.00:1.00 at the end of and for the fiscal quarter during which such Material Acquisition shall have been consummated and at the end of and for each of the following three consecutive fiscal quarters (the period during which any such increase in the Leverage Ratio shall be in effect being called a “Leverage Ratio Increase Period”), and in which event, the Company shall be obligated to pay the Incremental Interest Payment provided for in Section 10.9(c). The Company may terminate any Leverage Ratio Increase Period by a notice delivered to the holders of Notes, whereupon, on the last day of the fiscal quarter during which such notice is given and on the last day of each fiscal quarter thereafter until another Leverage Ratio Increase Period has commenced as provided in this Section, the maximum Leverage Ratio shall be 3.50:1.00. If a Leverage Ratio Increase Election shall have been made under this Section, the Company may not make another Leverage Ratio Increase Election unless, following the termination or expiration of the most recent prior Leverage Ratio Increase Period, the Leverage Ratio as of the last day of at least two consecutive full fiscal quarters of the Company shall not have exceeded 3.50:1.00. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be permitted to make more than two Leverage Ratio Increase Elections during the term of this Agreement.

(b) If the Leverage Ratio exceeds 3.50 to 1.00 as permitted by Section 10.9(a), as evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 7.2(a), the interest rate payable on the Notes shall be increased by 0.50% (the “Incremental Interest”). Such Incremental Interest 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, 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 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 Interest shall cease to accrue on the last day of the fiscal quarter in respect of which such Officer’s Certificate is delivered.

(c) Within 10 Business Days of the delivery of an Officer’s Certificate pursuant to Section 7.2(a) evidencing that the Leverage Ratio exceeds 3.50 to 1.00, the Company shall pay to each holder of a Note the amount attributable to the Incremental Interest (the “Incremental Interest 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) as of the first day that Incremental Interest begins to accrue, (ii) 0.50% (to reflect the Incremental Interest) and (iii) 0.25% (to reflect that the Incremental Interest is payable quarterly). The Incremental Interest Payment, if any, shall be paid quarterly by wire transfer of immediately available funds to each holder of the Notes in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

Section 1.2. Accounting Terms. Section 22.3 of the Agreement is hereby amended by adding clause (c) to read as follows:

(c) Without limiting the foregoing, leases shall continue to be classified and accounted for on a basis consistent with that reflected in the financial statements of the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding any change in GAAP relating thereto, unless the parties hereto shall enter into a mutually acceptable amendment addressing such changes, as provided for above. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company shall include relevant reconciliations in reasonable detail between GAAP in place at the applicable time to GAAP in place (related to such treatment of leases) for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 with respect to the applicable covenant compliance calculations contained in each certificate of Senior Financial Officer delivered pursuant to Section 7.2(a) during such period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Primary Credit Agreement is amended or modified with the effect that any provision (including but not limited to the leverage covenant contained therein) shall include a lease of property of a Person as lessee as debt for purposes of such provision (notwithstanding that such lease would not have been included as debt under GAAP as in effect on December 31, 2015), then such lease shall be included as a Capital Lease under this Agreement.

Section 1.3. Release of Guarantors. Section 22.9 of the Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

Section 22.9. Release of Guarantors. Notwithstanding any contrary provision herein or in the Notes or in any Guarantee Agreement, if the Company shall request the release under a Guarantee Agreement (x) of any Subsidiary to be sold or otherwise disposed of (including through the sale or disposition of any Subsidiary owning such Subsidiary) to a Person other than the Company or a Subsidiary in a transaction permitted under the terms of this Agreement or (y) of any Subsidiary because such Subsidiary has become an Excluded Subsidiary, and, in other case, shall deliver to the holders of the Notes a certificate of a Responsible Officer to the effect that (i) such sale, other disposition or such designation of such Subsidiary as an Excluded Subsidiary will comply with the terms of this Agreement, (ii) such Subsidiary shall not be a guarantor or obligor under a Primary Credit Agreement or any note purchase agreement of the Company from time to time (“Note Purchase Agreement” together with the Primary Credit Agreement, the “Material Agreements”), and (iii) (A) if such Subsidiary Guarantor is a guarantor or is otherwise liable for or in respect of any Material Agreement, then such Subsidiary Guarantor has been released and discharged (or will be released and discharged concurrently with the release of such Subsidiary Guarantor under its Subsidiary Guaranty) under the Material Agreements, (B) at the time of, and after giving effect to, such release and discharge, no Default or Event of Default shall be existing, (C) no amount is then due and payable under such Subsidiary Guaranty and (D) if in connection with such Subsidiary Guarantor being released and discharged under any Material Agreement any fee or other form of consideration is given to any holder of Indebtedness under such Material Agreement for such release, the holders of the Notes shall receive equivalent consideration substantially concurrently therewith. In the event of any such release, for purposes of Section 10.6, all Indebtedness of such Subsidiary shall be deemed to have been incurred concurrently with such release.

“Guarantors” means each Person listed on Schedule C and each other Person that becomes party to a Guarantee Agreement as a Guarantor, and the permitted successors and assigns of each such Person; provided, however, that a Guarantor shall cease to be a Guarantor in the event such Person is released from its obligations under the Guarantee Agreement (including any supplement referred to in Section 16 thereof) as provided in clause (b) of the proviso of the definition of “Guarantee Requirement” or as provided in Section 6 of the Guarantee Agreement.
