Exhibit 10.1

REFINANCING AMENDMENT NO. 2 (this “Second Amendment”) dated as of August 2, 2013, to the Credit and Guaranty Agreement dated as of August 1, 2012 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time prior to the date hereof, including by Refinancing Amendment No. 1 dated as of March 20, 2013, the “Credit Agreement”), among HOLOGIC, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”); CERTAIN SUBSIDIARIES OF THE BORROWER, as Guarantors; the LENDERS from time to time party thereto (the “Lenders”) and XXXXXXX XXXXX BANK USA (“GS Bank”), as administrative agent (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”).

WHEREAS, each Person that agrees to make Refinancing Tranche B Term Loans (as defined below) (collectively, the “Refinancing Term Lenders”) will make Refinancing Tranche B Term Loans to the Borrower on the Second Amendment Effective Date (as defined below) (the “Refinancing Tranche B Term Loans”) in an amount equal to its Refinancing Term Commitment (defined below);

WHEREAS, the Borrower has requested an amendment to the Credit Agreement that would effect the modifications to the Credit Agreement set forth herein, and each Lender party hereto consents to this Second Amendment;

WHEREAS, GS Bank, JPMS, CGMI and MLPFS have been appointed as the Lead Arrangers (as defined below) with respect to this Second Amendment; and

WHEREAS, this Second Amendment includes amendments of the Credit Agreement that are subject to the approval of the Required Lenders, and that, in each case, will become effective on the Second Amendment Effective Date on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein;

Accordingly, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

SECTION 1. Defined Terms. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Credit Agreement as amended hereby (the “Amended Credit Agreement”).

SECTION 2. Refinancing Transactions.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Refinancing Term Lender severally agrees to make a Refinancing Tranche B Term Loan to the Borrower on the Second Amendment Effective Date in a principal amount equal to its Refinancing Term Commitment, which amount shall be made available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds in accordance with the Credit Agreement. The “Refinancing Term Commitment” of any Refinancing Term Lender will be the amount set forth opposite such Refinancing Term Lender’s name on Schedule 1 hereto. On the Second Amendment Effective Date, the proceeds of the Refinancing Tranche B Term Loans shall be applied to prepay in full the Tranche B Term Loans outstanding on the Second Amendment Effective Date (immediately

prior to the refinancing contemplated by this Second Amendment (the “Refinancing”)) (the “Existing Tranche B Term Loans”). Each Lender party hereto and the Administrative Agent hereby acknowledge that (i) the Borrower hereby provides notice under Section 2.26(a) of the Credit Agreement of its request for Refinancing Tranche B Term Loans to refinance in full the Existing Tranche B Term Loans and (ii) all notice requirements set forth in Section 2.26(a) of the Credit Agreement with respect to the Refinancing have been satisfied. For the avoidance of doubt, there shall be no amount payable under Section 2.13(c) of the Credit Agreement in connection with the Refinancing or the Prepayment.

(b) On and after the Second Amendment Effective Date, each reference in the Credit Documents to “Tranche B Term Loans” and “Term Loans” shall be deemed to be a reference to and include the Refinancing Tranche B Term Loans made or deemed made hereunder, and each reference to “Lenders” shall be deemed to be a reference to and include the Refinancing Term Lenders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of the Credit Agreement with respect to indemnification, confidentiality, reimbursement of costs and expenses, increased costs and break funding payments shall continue in full force and effect with respect to, and for the benefit of, each Term Lender in respect of such Lender’s Existing Tranche B Term Loans.

SECTION 3. Amendments to the Credit Agreement. Each of the parties hereto agrees that, effective on the Second Amendment Effective Date, the Credit Agreement shall be amended to delete the stricken text (indicated textually in the same manner as the following example: ~~stricken text~~) and to add the double-underlined text (indicated textually in the same manner as the following example: double-underlined text) as set forth in the pages of the Credit Agreement attached as Exhibit A hereto.

SECTION 4. Representations and Warranties. To induce the other parties hereto to enter into this Second Amendment, each Credit Party represents and warrants to each other party hereto, on and as of the Second Amendment Effective Date, that the following statements are true and correct:

(a) The execution, delivery and performance of this Second Amendment have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of each Credit Party. This Second Amendment has been duly executed and delivered by each Credit Party and is the legally valid and binding obligation of such Credit Party, enforceable against such Credit Party in accordance with its terms, except as may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws relating to or limiting creditors’ rights generally or by equitable principles relating to enforceability.

(b) The representations and warranties of each Credit Party contained in the Credit Documents are, after giving effect to this Second Amendment on such date, true and correct in all material respects on and as of the Second Amendment Effective Date to the same extent as though made on and as of such date, except to the extent such representations and warranties specifically relate to an earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties were true and correct in all material respects on and as of such earlier date; provided that, in each

case, such materiality qualifier shall not be applicable to any representations and warranties that already are qualified or modified by materiality in the text thereof.

(c) As of the Second Amendment Effective Date, after giving effect to this Second Amendment, no event has occurred and is continuing or would result from the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby that would constitute an Event of Default or a Default.

(vi) concurrently with the making of the Refinancing Tranche B Term Loans, (a) the entire aggregate principal amount of the Existing Tranche B Term Loans and (b) all accrued interest, fees and other amounts (including any amounts due pursuant to Section 2.18 of the Credit Agreement) accrued prior to the Second Amendment Effective Date in connection therewith shall have been paid (or, in the case of principal, deemed paid pursuant to this Second Amendment) in full and all Interest Periods in respect of thereof shall have been terminated;
