<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">On June&nbsp;22, 2018, Nordson Corporation (&#147;the Company&#148;) entered into a Master Note Purchase Agreement (the &#147;Note Purchase Agreement&#148;)
among the Company, as issuer, and the purchasers listed therein, pursuant to which the Company issued and sold, in a private placement, Senior Notes consisting of Series 2018-A, Series 2018-B, Series 2018-C, Series 2018-D, Series 2018-E, Series
2018-F, and Series 2018-G Senior Notes (collectively the &#147;2018 Notes&#148;), in an aggregate principal amount of $350 million. The 2018 Notes mature between June&nbsp;22, 2023 and June&nbsp;24, 2030 and bear interest at fixed per annum interest
rates between 3.71% and 4.17%. In the event of any other prepayment of the 2018 Notes prior to their respective final stated maturity, the Company is obligated to pay to purchasers certain yield maintenance amounts in respect of such prepaid
amounts. The purchasers of the 2018 Notes consist of various insurance companies and their affiliates.</P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Company used the proceeds from the sale of the
2018 Notes to repay approximately $315 million of the outstanding balance under the Company&#146;s existing syndicated revolving credit facility. The Company intends to use the remainder of the proceeds for general corporate purposes. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Company may from time to time issue and sell one or more additional series of notes pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement, provided that the aggregate
principal amount of all additional notes issued pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement shall not exceed $500 million. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Note Purchase Agreement
contains customary representations and warranties and affirmative and negative covenants including, among others, covenants regarding the maintenance of certain financial ratios and covenants relating to financial reporting, compliance with laws,
transactions with affiliates, limitation on liens, mergers and sales of all or substantially all of the Company&#146;s assets. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Note Purchase
Agreement provides for customary events of default, including, among other things, nonpayment of principal, interest, or other amounts, a representation or warranty proving to have been false or erroneous when made, failure to perform or observe
certain covenants within a specified period of time, a cross-default to other indebtedness of the Company of a specified amount, the bankruptcy or insolvency of the Company, monetary judgment defaults of a specified amount, invalidity of any loan

February&nbsp;20, 2015, among the Company, various financial institutions named therein, and KeyBank, National Association, in its capacity as administrative agent (the &#147;Existing Credit Agreement&#148;). The Amendment (i)&nbsp;increases the
aggregate commitments under the Existing Credit Agreement by $250 million from $600 million to $850 million, (ii)&nbsp;modifies the Existing Credit Agreement to increase the maximum permitted Leverage Ratio for the first two fiscal quarters during a
Leverage Ratio Step-Up Period to 4.00 to 1.00 and (iii)&nbsp;modifies the Interest Coverage Ratio in the Existing Credit Agreement to provide that the ratio should not be less than 2.50 to 1.00. All other material provisions of the Existing Credit

administrator (if any) of the LIBOR Rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over Agent has made a public statement identifying the specific date after which the LIBOR Rate shall no longer be used for determining interest rates for loans
(either such date, a &#147;<U>LIBOR Termination Date</U>&#148;), or (ii)&nbsp;a rate other than the LIBOR Rate has become a widely recognized benchmark rate for newly originated loans in Dollars in the U.S. market, then Agent may (in consultation

<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">all-in</FONT> interest rate based on the replacement index will be substantially equivalent to the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">all-in</FONT> LIBOR Rate-based interest rate in effect prior to its replacement.
Agent and the Borrower shall enter into a mutually agreeable amendment to this Agreement to reflect the replacement index, the adjusted margins and such other related amendments as may be appropriate, in the reasonable discretion of Agent, for the
implementation and administration of the replacement index-based rate, but no other substantive matters unless agreed to by Borrower, Agent and the requisite Lenders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents (including, without limitation, Section&nbsp;10.03), such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement at 5:00 p.m. Cleveland, Ohio time on the tenth (10<SUP

Day, a written notice from the Required Lenders stating that such Lenders object to such amendment. Selection of the replacement index, adjustments to the applicable margins, and amendments to this Agreement (i)&nbsp;will be determined with due
consideration to the then-current market practices for determining and implementing a rate of interest for newly originated loans in the United States and loans converted from a LIBOR Rate-based rate to a replacement index-based rate, and
(ii)&nbsp;may also reflect adjustments to account for (x)&nbsp;the effects of the transition from the LIBOR Rate to the replacement index and (y)&nbsp;yield- or risk-based differences between the LIBOR Rate and the replacement index. Until an
amendment reflecting a new replacement index in accordance with this Section&nbsp;3.03(b) is effective, each advance, conversion and renewal of an Eurodollar Loan will continue to bear interest with reference to the LIBOR Rate; provided however,
that if Agent determines (which determination shall be final and conclusive, absent manifest error) that a LIBOR Termination Date has occurred, then following the LIBOR Termination Date, all Eurodollar Loans shall automatically be converted to the
Base Rate Loans until such time as an amendment reflecting a replacement index and related matters as described above is implemented. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time the replacement index is less than zero,
at such times, such index shall be deemed to be zero for purposes of this Agreement. </P>
