Footnotes

F1: The price reported in Column 4 is a weighted average price. These shares were sold in multiple transactions at prices ranging from $43.29 to 43.32, inclusive. The reporting person undertakes to provide to Danaher Corporation, any securityholder of Danaher Corporation, or the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission, upon request, full information regarding the number of shares sold at each separate price within the ranges set forth in the footnotes to this Form 4.

F2: A Form 4 filed by the reporting person on February 26, 2010 incorrectly reported that the reporting person's revocable trust held 180,000 shares of Company common stock following the reported transaction; the correct number was 177,000 shares (which adjusted to reflect the Company's June 2010 2-for-1 stock split equates to 354,000 shares, the number that is correctly reflected in this Form 4).
