Consulting Agreement between the Registrant and Mark P. Stevenson, dated February 2

THIS AGREEMENT, made this 24th day of February, 2022, by and between Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc. (“Company”), with its principal place of business located at 168 Third Avenue, Waltham, MA 02451, and Mark Stevenson (“Consultant”), with his principal place of business at an address on file with the Company (collectively referred to as “the Parties”).

Company engages Consultant to perform, and Consultant shall perform, the following advisory and consulting services: (1) serve as a member of the Company’s Scientific Advisory Board during the Consulting Period, (2) consulting on Covid-19 testing including assisting externally as needed, and (3) other duties and responsibilities as mutually defined by the Parties. Consultant agrees to devote a sufficient number of hours per week in order to complete the assignments given by Company in a timely manner.

In full consideration of the services performed by Consultant under this Agreement and for the noncompetition provision outlined in Section 7 and Schedule B to this Agreement, and for so long as Consultant provides the Consulting Services to the Company pursuant to this Agreement, any and all outstanding and unvested equity awards granted to Consultant by the Company will continue to vest and be exercisable in accordance with the applicable equity plans and award agreements; provided, however, that if Consultant continues to provide the Consulting Services through March 1, 2023, Consultant shall for purposes of the equity awards identified on Schedule A hereto be vested in such awards on March 1, 2023 to the same extent as if Consultant had “retired” from the Company (as provided in such awards) on March 1, 2023  and shall, in the case of the Nonstatutory Stock Option Award, be eligible to exercise such award through its “Final Exercise Date”.  For avoidance of doubt, if this Agreement is terminated for any reason prior to March 1, 2023, (i) Consultant will, as of such termination date, no longer enjoy continued vesting in any outstanding equity award or the special vesting and other rights under the awards identified on Schedule, (ii) all unvested equity awards as of the termination date shall be forfeited, and (iii) vested equity awards shall be exercisable or paid in accordance

with the terms of the original award agreement. Consultant specifically acknowledges and agrees that such continuation of vesting is fair, reasonable, and mutually agreed-upon consideration for the services outlined in Section 2 and for agreeing to the non-competition restriction in Section 7 below and Schedule B to this Agreement.

Company shall reimburse Consultant for all expenses reasonably incurred by Consultant on behalf of Company to the extent that same have been duly authorized in advance by Company. Expenses will be reimbursed within thirty (30) days after submission to Company.

Consultant shall perform all services under this Agreement as an “independent contractor” and not as an employee or agent of the Company. The Consultant is not authorized to assume or create any obligation or responsibility, express or implied, on behalf of, or in the name of, the Company or to bind the Company in any manner. Consultant shall not be entitled to any benefits, coverages or privileges, including, without limitation, workers compensation, social security, unemployment, medical or pension payments, made available to employees of the Company with respect to the services performed under this Agreement.

Company will report and withhold on the amount it pays Consultant in accordance with applicable Internal Revenue Code provisions and/or state or local law. Consultant acknowledges and agrees to file all tax returns, tax declarations, and tax schedules and to pay all taxes required, when due, with respect to any and all compensation earned by Consultant under this Agreement.

Company agrees that Consultant may perform services for others, so long as the performance of these services does not interfere with the performance of the Services to be provided pursuant to this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Consultant agrees that at all times during the Consulting Period, and for a 12-month period commencing on the termination of this Agreement, Consultant shall refrain from, alone as a consultant, or as a partner, member, employee or agent of any partnership, or as an officer, employee, agent, director, stockholder or investor of any corporation, or in any other individual or representative capacity, directly or indirectly (through an affiliate or otherwise) working for or providing consulting or any other services to, or permitting the use of Consultant’s name by, any business, person or activity, which is or which becomes during the Consulting Period, directly or indirectly, competitive with Company’s business as conducted or proposed to be conducted. If any restriction set forth in this paragraph is found by the applicable judicial authority of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable because it extends for too long a period of time or over too great a range of activities or over too broad a geographic area, the parties agree it shall be interpreted to extend over a maximum period of time, range of activities or geographic area as to which it may be enforceable.

Consultant agrees to keep secret and retain in the strictest confidence all Confidential Information of Company and its affiliates, and not to disclose any such Confidential Information to anyone outside of Company unless authorized by Company on a “need to know” basis, or except as may be required in the good faith performance of the Services, or as may be required by law. Consultant further agrees to take all other reasonable precautions to prevent any unauthorized disclosure of such Confidential Information. For purposes of this Agreement, “Confidential Information” means any proprietary information including, without limitation, all information in whatever form provided relating to the past, present or future business affairs of Company or its affiliates, or another party whose information Company has in its possession under obligation of confidentiality, which is disclosed by Company or its affiliates to Consultant, or which Consultant learns from inspection of drawings, parts or equipment including, without limitation, trade secrets, computer programs, computer code graphics, algorithms, engineering, product and service planning, client or customer lists, hardware configuration information, and information, research, and development, business plans, pricing and fee policies, information relating to operations, systems, security, merchandising, marketing, affiliate relations, products and product development, financial and personnel data, and specialized knowledge, data or property concerning any idea, invention, discovery, process, program, services or products provided, used, developed, investigated, manufactured or considered by Company or its affiliates during the Consulting Period, whether commercial, experimental or patented, patentable or not. Consultant also agrees that all such Confidential Information, as well as all records, files and other memoranda made or kept by Consultant in connection with the Services, shall be the exclusive property of Company. Upon termination of this Agreement, for whatever reason, Consultant will promptly deliver to Company all materials, notebooks, records, data, lists, information, memoranda, documents (including all copies) and all other property belonging to Company or containing Confidential Information, including, among other things, Confidential Information which relates to the Services, including Confidential Information that was created or obtained by Consultant while performing the Services or by virtue of Consultant’s relationship with Company. Under the Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016 (“DTSA”), Consultant shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that: (a) is made (i) in confidence to a federal, state, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney; and (ii) solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or (b) is made to Consultant’s attorney in relation to a retaliation lawsuit brought by Consultant for reporting a suspected violation of law; or (c) is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal.

All inventions, ideas, data, technology, devices, software in whatever form, processes, innovations and improvements, whether or not patentable and whether or not copyrightable, hereafter made, conceived, reduced to practice, created, written, designed or developed by the Consultant solely or jointly with others during the Consulting Period (or thereafter if resulting or directly derived from Proprietary Information, as defined below) and which relate in any manner to the business of the Company, or to its actual or planned research or development, or are suggested or result from any task assigned to the Consultant under this Agreement or work performed by the Consultant for or on behalf of the Company, shall be the sole property of the Company (collectively, “Inventions”). The Consultant hereby assigns to the Company all Inventions and any and all related patent, copyrights, trademarks, trade names and other intellectual property rights and applications therefor, in the United States and elsewhere, and appoints any officer of the Company as his duly authorized attorney to execute, file, prosecute and protect the same before any government agency, court or authority. Upon the request of the Company, and without further compensation except as expressly provided below, the Consultant shall execute such further assignments, documents and other instruments as may be necessary or desirable to fully and completely assign all Inventions to the Company and to assist the Company in applying for, obtaining and enforcing patents, copyrights or other rights in the United States and in any foreign country with respect to any Invention. The Consultant shall promptly disclose to the Company all Inventions and the Consultant further agrees that all papers and records of every kind relating to any Inventions which shall at any time come into the Consultant's possession shall be the sole and exclusive property of the Company and shall be surrendered to the Company upon the termination of the Consulting Period or upon request at any other time either during or after the termination of the Consulting Period. The Consultant agrees that the obligations and undertakings stated in this Section shall continue beyond the termination of the Consulting Period.

Consultant certifies that Consultant has no outstanding agreement or obligation that is in conflict with any of the provisions of this Agreement or that would preclude Consultant from complying with the provisions of this Agreement. Consultant will not enter into any such conflicting agreement during the term of this Agreement. Consultant’s violation of this paragraph will be considered a material breach of this Agreement.

All notices required or permitted under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be addressed to the other party at the address first above shown. All

notices shall be sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, or by Federal Express or other comparable courier providing proof of delivery, and shall be deemed duly given and received (i) if mailed, on the third business day following the mailing thereof, or (ii) if sent by courier, the date of its receipt (or, if such day is not a business day, the next succeeding business day).

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Consulting Period shall terminate automatically and immediately upon the occurrence of any one of the following events: (i) the death of Consultant; (ii) the breach of any material term of this Agreement; or (iii) the termination of this Agreement by either Party for any reason or no reason upon 30 days written notice to the other Party. Any such termination shall not, however, affect or otherwise modify the obligation of Company to pay accrued sums owed to the Consultant pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Termination of this Agreement for any reason shall not affect Consultant’s continuing obligations under Sections 7, 8, 9, and 10, except that the non-competition restrictions in Section 7 shall not be applicable in the event the Consulting Period is ended by the Company without cause.

Should Company at any time be merged or consolidated into or with any other entity, or if substantially all of the assets of Company are transferred to another entity, this Agreement may be assigned to such entity. Consultant shall not assign any rights under this Agreement to any other person or entity.

Company agrees to indemnify, hold harmless and defend Consultant from any liability or financial loss (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and costs) arising from its intentional, reckless, negligent or otherwise wrongful acts, errors or omissions in the performance of this Agreement. Consultant agrees to indemnify, hold harmless and defend Company and its related and affiliated entities from any liability or financial loss (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and costs) arising from intentional, reckless, negligent or otherwise wrongful acts, errors or omissions committed by Consultant or Consultant's assistants in the performance of this Agreement by Consultant or Consultant’s assistants.

This Agreement is intended to be the final, complete and exhaustive statement of the terms of Consultant’s engagement by Company. This Agreement supercedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements and statements, whether written or oral, express or implied, pertaining in any manner to the engagement of Consultant and it may not be contradicted by evidence of any prior or contemporaneous statements or agreements. To the extent that practices, policies, or procedures of Company, now or in the future, apply to Consultant and are inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall prevail. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement changes or alters Consultant’s continuing legal obligations (including but not limited to Consultant’s Noncompetition Agreement with the Company) incurred while Consultant was employed by the Company.

If a Court or Arbitrator holds any provision of this Agreement to be invalid, unenforceable or void, the remainder of this Agreement, shall remain in full force and effect.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have caused this Agreement to be duly executed on the above date.
