Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On July 13, 2007 Nordson Corporation (the "Company"), entered into a $400 million unsecured multicurrency credit facility (the "Credit Facility") pursuant to the terms and conditions of that certain Credit Agreement (the "Credit Agreement"), dated as of July 13, 2007, by the Company and the "Banks" (as defined in the Credit Agreement) with KeyBank National Association ("KeyBank") and J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. as co-lead arrangers. The Credit Facility has a five-year term and includes a $30 million subfacility for swing-line loans. The Credit Facility may be increased from $400 million up to $500 million under certain conditions. The swing-line loans bear interest at KeyBank’s cost of funds plus the applicable margin then in effect with respect to the Credit Facility. The Credit Facility bears interest at the LIBOR rate plus an applicable margin ranging from .28% to .725% based on the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio. The Credit Agreement also contains customary events of default and covenants related to limitations on indebtedness and the maintenance of certain financial ratios. This Credit Agreement replaces the Company’s existing Credit Agreement (the "Prior Credit Agreement") under which the Company entered into a $300 million revolving credit facility maturing in October 2009 (the "Prior Credit Facility"). The Company had balances outstanding under the Prior Credit Facility that have been transferred to the Credit Facility. The Company was in compliance with the financial covenants and other restrictions of the Prior Credit Agreement and is in compliance with the financial covenants and other restrictions of the Credit Agreement. The foregoing is a summary of the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement and does not purport to be a complete discussion of this document. Accordingly, the foregoing is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Credit Agreement annexed to this Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.1.
