 Exhibit 10.53 

EXECUTION 

FIRST AMENDMENT TO LEASE 

THIS FIRST AMENDMENT TO LEASE (this “Amendment”) is entered into as of the 11th day of February, 2010, by and between
125 MIDDLESEX TURNPIKE, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Landlord”), and GSI GROUP CORPORATION, a Michigan corporation (“Tenant”). 

Reference is hereby made to that certain Lease dated as of November 2, 2007 (the “Lease”) by and between Landlord
and Tenant, pursuant to which Tenant is currently leasing from Landlord a certain parcel of land with the building located thereon commonly known as 125 Middlesex Turnpike, Bedford, Massachusetts, as more particularly described in the Lease (the
“Premises”); and 
 WHEREAS Landlord and Tenant have agreed to amend certain terms of the Lease, all as more
particularly set forth herein. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration this day paid, the receipt and sufficiency
of which are hereby acknowledged, and in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein, the parties mutually agree as follows: 

1. Defined Terms. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Lease. 

2. Effective Date. The effective date of this Amendment (the “Effective Date”) shall be the date upon which
Tenant’s Plan Approval (as defined below) has been obtained from the Court (as defined below). 
 3.
Lease Term. Section 1.1 of the Lease is hereby amended to provide that the Initial Term of the Lease shall expire on the last day of the month in which occurs the third
(3rd) anniversary of the Effective Date. 

4. Landlord’s Option to Terminate. Landlord shall have the option, exercisable in its sole and exclusive discretion subject
to the terms set forth herein, to terminate the Lease prior to the scheduled expiration of the Lease Term. Landlord’s option to terminate shall be exercised, if at all, by Landlord’s delivery to Tenant of a written notice of termination
(the “Termination Notice”) setting forth the new date on which the Term of the Lease shall expire (the “Early Termination Date”), which date shall be (a) no less than nine (9) months after the date of the
Termination Notice, and (b) in any event, no earlier than June 1, 2011. In such event, the Term of the Lease shall expire on the Early Termination Date, all Rent and other charges due under the Lease shall be apportioned as of the Early
Termination Date, and all terms and conditions of this Lease and Tenant’s obligations hereunder, including without limitation Tenant’s obligation to pay Rent, shall continue up to and including the Early Termination Date. Landlord hereby
agrees to keep Tenant reasonably apprised of any marketing efforts undertaken by Landlord with respect to the Premises throughout the Term of the Lease, which shall include providing Tenant with copies of any third-party lease proposals, letters of
intent and marketing reports issued with respect to the Premises. 

 5. Tenant’s Option to Extend. Section 2.3 of the Lease is hereby
amended by: 
 (a) deleting the words and numbers “fifteen (15) months” from the two places in which they appear
in the third sentence of the first grammatical paragraph thereof, and by replacing them in both places with the words and numbers “twelve (12) months”; 

(b) deleting the words and numbers “twelve (12) months” from the fifth sentence of the first grammatical paragraph
thereof, and by replacing them with the words and numbers “ten (10) months”; and 
 (c) adding the following text
at the end thereof: “Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, if at the time of Tenant’s election to exercise either of its options to extend the Term of the Lease for an applicable Extension Term, Tenant does not satisfy
the Financial Requirement (as defined below), Landlord shall have the right to require Tenant to provide Landlord with a security deposit in an amount equal to six (6) months’ of Annual Rent payable during such Extension Term, such deposit
to be delivered to Landlord prior to and as a condition precedent to the effectiveness of such Extension Term, in the form of an irrevocable standby letter of credit in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord. For the purposes hereof,
the term “Financial Requirement” shall mean that the total cash balance then being maintained by Tenant is equal to at least Twenty Million Dollars ($20,000,000.00). If Tenant is required to deliver a security deposit as a result of
its failure to satisfy the Financial Requirement at the time of its election to extend the Term of the Lease as aforesaid, then Tenant shall be entitled to a return of such security deposit in the event that Tenant subsequently satisfies the
Financial Requirement at any time during the remaining Term of the Lease. Conversely, if Tenant is not required to deliver a security deposit because it satisfied the Financial Requirement at the time of its election to extend the Term of the Lease,
Tenant shall nonetheless be required to deliver such security deposit in the event that Tenant subsequently fails to satisfy the Financial Requirement at any time during the Term of the Lease. In order to effectuate the foregoing provision, Tenant
shall provide Landlord with audited financial statements for Tenant both (i) at the time of Tenant’s election to exercise either of its options to extend the Term of the Lease for an applicable Extension Term, and (ii) within ninety
(90) days following the expiration of each fiscal year of Tenant ending subsequent to the date on which Tenant first makes such election to exercise an extension option.” 

6. Yield Up. Section 4.1(i) of the Lease is hereby amended by deleting the words and numbers “one hundred fifty
percent (150%)” from the first sentence of the second grammatical paragraph thereof, and by replacing them with the words and numbers “two hundred percent (200%)”. 

7. Landlord’s Access and Marketing Rights. Section 4.1(g) of the Lease is hereby amended by adding the following
text at the end thereof: “Landlord’s access rights hereunder shall include the right to access the Premises from time to time during the Term of the Lease for marketing purposes, including (i) allowing prospective tenants, investors,
buyers and lenders (collectively, “Landlord’s Invitees”) to perform due diligence activities on the Premises, and (ii) posting signs on the Land and/or the Building advertising the availability of space in the Premises, in
each case (1) at Landlord’s sole cost and expense; (2) at reasonable frequency; and (3) subject in all respects to the terms and conditions set forth in this section. Any entry into the

  

 -2- 

 
Premises by Landlord or Landlord’s Invitees may not include invasive testing within the Premises, and Landlord shall use reasonable efforts during such periods of access to minimize
interference with Tenant’s business operations. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Lease to the contrary, Landlord hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Tenant from and against all claims, costs, damages, demands, actions,
liabilities, expenses and causes of action (including, without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees) arising out of or resulting from personal injury or property damage incurred by Tenant and caused by Landlord or Landlord’s Invitees
during such periods of access. Landlord will provide Tenant with reasonable advance notice prior to each visit by Landlord’s Invitees.” 

8. Deleted Lease Provisions. The Lease is hereby amended by deleting in their entirety (a) the third (3
rd) sentence of Section 4.1(c)
(Tenant’s right to require Landlord to fund certain Capital Improvements); (b) Section 4.2(c)(ii) (Tenant’s right to request that Landlord fund certain Improvements and Tenant’s related right to purchase the
Premises); (c) Section 8.13 (Tenant’s Right of First Sale Offer); and (d) the last sentence of the second grammatical paragraph of Section 4.1(i) (Tenant’s right to reduced holdover penalties upon prior
notice to Landlord). 
 9. Approval of Tenant’s Bankruptcy Plan. The effectiveness of this Amendment is expressly
subject to and conditioned upon the entry of an order by the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Court”) confirming Tenant’s First Modified Joint Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization, dated
January 8, 2010, under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (Case No. 09-14109) (the “Plan”), as such Plan may be hereafter modified, amended or superceded by Tenant, provided that no such modification, amendment
or superceding plan shall adversely affect the rights of Landlord, and the prior or contemporaneous entry of an order approving the assumption of the Lease as modified by this Amendment (“Tenant’s Plan Approval”). Promptly
following the execution of this Amendment by both parties, Tenant shall file with the Court a motion seeking approval of the assumption of the Lease as modified by this Amendment (an “Assumption Motion”), and shall use commercially
reasonable efforts to obtain Tenant’s Plan Approval as expeditiously as is reasonably possible thereafter. In the event that Tenant does not promptly file an Assumption Motion and exercise commercially reasonable efforts to obtain Court
approval thereof, then at Landlord’s election this Amendment shall be rendered void and without force or effect upon the delivery of written notice by Landlord to Tenant and the failure by Tenant to cure any such alleged act within seven
(7) days following the delivery of such notice. In the event that Tenant is unable to obtain Tenant’s Plan Approval despite having exercised commercially reasonable efforts to do so, then at either party’s election this Amendment
shall be rendered void and without force or effect upon the delivery of written notice by such party to the other party hereto. 

10. HVAC System. Landlord and Tenant each hereby acknowledges that Tenant has encountered certain issues controlling the
temperatures of various conference rooms, private offices and open spaces within the Premises. Exhibit A attached hereto sets forth a list of recommended repairs which, if performed, are reasonably anticipated to eliminate the aforementioned
HVAC system issues occurring within the Premises (the “Recommended Repairs”). Tenant hereby agrees that Landlord shall not be responsible for performing the Recommended Repairs at any time. Landlord hereby agrees that Tenant shall
not be responsible for performing the Recommended Repairs at any time. Except as otherwise expressly set forth above, nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit or affect Tenant’s maintenance and repair obligations under the Lease,
including without limitation pursuant to Section 4(c) thereof. 
  

 -3- 

 11. Governing Law. This Amendment shall be construed in accordance with the laws of
the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and may only be amended in a writing signed by all the parties hereto. The invalidity of one or more of the provisions contained herein as amended hereby shall not affect the remaining provisions of the Lease, and
if one or more of such provisions shall be declared invalid by final order, decree or judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, the Lease shall be construed as if such invalid provision or provisions had not been included in the Lease.

 12. Consistency. In the event that any provision of this Amendment is inconsistent with the Lease, this Amendment
shall control. 
 13. Brokerage Representations. Landlord and Tenant each represents that it has not dealt with any
broker in connection with this Amendment. Each party hereby agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless the other party from and against any loss, cost or expense (including reasonable attorneys fees) incurred as a result of its breach of the
foregoing representation. 
 14. Ratification; Authority. Except as herein amended, the Lease shall remain in full force
and effect in accordance with its terms. The parties each hereby confirm that the Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect and that, to the knowledge of Landlord or Tenant, as applicable, there are no existing defaults of the other under the
Lease. Each signatory of this Amendment represents hereby that he or she has the authority to execute and deliver the same on behalf of the party hereto for which such signatory is acting. 

15. Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in one or more identical counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original
and all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

Agreement and the obligations hereunder will also attach to any additional Shares or other Securities of the Company issued to or acquired by Stockholder.

a meeting or otherwise, (i) for the authorization of the sale of the Business pursuant to the terms of the Acquisition Agreement, and (ii) against any proposal regarding any other Acquisition Proposal. Arrow hereby acknowledges that the

or other meeting or action or the execution of any consent of the stockholders of the Company for the purpose set forth herein. 

(b) The irrevocable proxy established in Section 1.5(a) shall not be terminated by any act of Stockholder or by operation of law,

entering into the Acquisition Agreement in reliance upon the execution and delivery of this Agreement by Stockholder. 
 1.7

ARTICLE II 

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF STOCKHOLDER 

Stockholder hereby represents and warrants to Arrow, as of the date hereof, that: 

2.1 Ownership. 

(a) Except for the Pledged Shares, Stockholder holds of record or beneficially the Securities, and any Securities acquired after the date
hereof will be held, free and clear of all liabilities, claims, liens, options, proxies, charges, participations and encumbrances of any kind or character whatsoever, other than those arising under the securities laws or under the Company’s
governance documents (collectively, “Liens”). For the avoidance of doubt, the Commercial Pledge Agreement by and between the Stockholder and JP Morgan dated May 6, 2009 has been terminated and none of the Securities are subject
to any lien pursuant thereto. 
 (b) Schedule I hereto lists the exact location of the Securities (including, if applicable,
information of the accounts in or to which each of the Securities is held, credited or located). 
 2.2 Authorization.
Stockholder has (and with respect to the Securities acquired after the date hereof, will have) all requisite power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and has sole voting power
and sole power of disposition, with respect to the Securities with no restrictions on its voting rights or rights of disposition pertaining thereto, except as set forth in the Securities or pursuant to applicable community property Laws. Stockholder
has duly executed and delivered this Agreement and this Agreement is a legal, valid and binding agreement of Stockholder, 
  

 4 

 
enforceable against Stockholder in accordance with its terms, except to the extent enforceability may be limited by the effect of applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium or
other Laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and the effect of general principles of equity, regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding at Law or in equity. If the Stockholder is married and
the Securities constitute community property, this Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Stockholder’s spouse, and this Agreement is a legal, valid and binding agreement of the Stockholder’s spouse, enforceable
against the Stockholder’s spouse in accordance with its terms, except to the extent enforceability may be limited by the effect of applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium or other Laws affecting the enforcement of
creditors’ rights generally and the effect of general principles of equity, regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding at Law or in equity. 

2.3 No Violation. Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated
hereby will (a) require Stockholder to file or register with, or obtain any permit, authorization, consent or approval of, any governmental agency, authority, administrative or regulatory body, court or other tribunal, foreign or domestic, or
any other entity other than a Schedule 13G or Schedule 13D and any other filings with the SEC that may be required pursuant to the Exchange Act or with the NASDAQ Global Market, or (b) violate, or cause a breach of or default under, or conflict
with any contract, agreement or understanding, any Law binding upon Stockholder, except for such violations, breaches, defaults or conflicts which are not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably likely to have an adverse effect on
Stockholder’s ability to satisfy its obligations under this Agreement. As of the date hereof, no proceedings are pending which, if adversely determined, will have an adverse effect on Stockholder’s ability to vote or dispose of any of the
Securities. 
 2.4 Stockholder Has Adequate Information. Stockholder is a sophisticated seller and has such knowledge and
experience in financial and business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an asset sale transaction and making an informed decision with respect thereto. Stockholder has adequate information concerning the business and
financial condition of the Company to make an informed decision regarding the asset sale transaction and has independently and without reliance upon Arrow and based on such information as Stockholder has deemed appropriate, made its own analysis and
decision to enter into this Agreement. Stockholder acknowledges that Arrow has not made and does not make any representation or warranty, whether express or implied, of any kind or character with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement
except as expressly set forth in this Agreement and the Acquisition Agreement. Stockholder acknowledges that the agreements contained herein with respect to the Securities held by Stockholder are irrevocable (prior to the Closing Date), and that
Stockholder shall have no recourse against Arrow, except with respect to breaches of representations, warranties, covenants and agreements expressly set forth in this Agreement and the Acquisition Agreement. 

2.5 No Setoff. Stockholder has no liability or obligation related to or in connection with the Securities other than the
obligations to Arrow as set forth in this Agreement.

enforceability may be limited by the effect of applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium or other Laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and the effect of general principles of equity, regardless of
whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding at Law or in equity.

by any investigation made by the other party hereto. All representations and warranties shall terminate on the Closing Date. 

ARTICLE V 

SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE 

Stockholder acknowledges that Arrow will be irreparably harmed and that there will be no adequate remedy at law for a violation of any of

6.1 Termination Date. This Agreement and all obligations hereunder, as well as the proxy granted pursuant to Section 1.5,
shall terminate upon the earlier of (a) the Closing Date and (b) the termination of the Acquisition Agreement pursuant to Section 10.2 thereof. Upon termination of this Agreement, no party shall have any further obligations or
liabilities under this Agreement; provided, however, that (i) nothing set forth in this Section 6.1 shall relieve any party from liability for any willful breach of this Agreement prior to termination hereof, and (ii) the provisions
of this Article VI shall survive any termination of this Agreement. 
 6.2 Capacity as a Stockholder; Fiduciary
Duties. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary: (a) the Stockholder makes no agreement or understanding herein in any capacity other than in the Stockholder’s capacity as a record holder and beneficial owner of
Securities, and makes no agreement or understanding in such Stockholder’s capacity as a director, officer or employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or in such Stockholder’s capacity as a trustee or fiduciary of any employee
benefit plan or trust, and (b) nothing herein will be construed to limit or affect any action or inaction by the Stockholder serving on the Company board of directors or on the board of directors of any Company subsidiary or as an officer or
fiduciary of the Company, any Company subsidiary or any employee benefit plan or trust, acting in such person’s capacity as a director, officer, trustee and/or fiduciary.

additional Shares (any such shares, “Additional Shares”), including, without limitation, upon exercise of any option, warrant or right to acquire shares of capital stock of the Company or any other equity right of the Company, or through
any stock dividend or stock split, the provisions of this Agreement applicable to the Shares shall thereafter be applicable to such Additional Shares as if such Additional Shares had been Shares as of the date hereof. The provisions of the
immediately preceding sentence shall be effective with respect to Additional Shares without action by any person or entity immediately upon the acquisition by the Stockholder of beneficial ownership of such Additional Shares. 

6.4 Expenses. Each of the parties hereto shall pay its own expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement. Each of the
