Amendment No. 2
WHEREAS, Helix Technology Corporation established the Helix Technology Corporation Employees’
Pension Plan (the “Plan”) effective January 1,1979; and
WHEREAS, Brooks Automation, Inc. (the “Company”) became the sponsor of the Plan upon the
acquisition of Helix Technology Corporation; and
WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of Brooks Automation, Inc. or its delegate may amend the Plan
pursuant to Section 12.1 of the Plan; and
WHEREAS, the Company previously submitted a Voluntary Compliance Program (“VCP”) application to
correct the failure to satisfy the required minimum distribution rules under Section 401(a)(9) of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, for certain missing participants; and
WHEREAS, as a result of the VCP submission referenced above, the IRS has accepted the
proposed method of correcting the failure, which includes amending the Plan; and
WHEREAS, consistent with the accepted method of correction, the Company desires to amend the Plan
to permit the forfeiture of benefits payable to missing participants, once reasonable efforts have
been made to locate those individuals, provided such benefits will be reinstated upon a claim from
the participant or beneficiary;
NOW, THEREFORE, effective May 20th, 2009, Section 14.4 of the Plan is hereby amended, to
add a new subparagraph, (d) to read in its entirety as follows:
“(d) If a person to whom benefits must be distributed cannot be located, and reasonable
efforts have been made to locate such person, the benefits shall be forfeited. If a
person whose benefit has been forfeited in accordance with this section subsequently
returns or makes a claim for benefits, the person’s forfeited benefit shall be
reinstated.”
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Amendment to be executed by its duly authorized
officer this 16th day of
