As you know, Danaher Corporation ("Danaher") has announced that its environmental and applied solutions segments will be spun off to become an independent publicly traded company (the "Separation"). Upon the completion of the Separation, the Company will become part of a newly created company, currently referred to as EAS ("EAS") but to be named Veralto in the future. We anticipate that the spinoff will be completed in late 2023 and are confident that your background and experience will allow you to make major contributions to the Company.

We look forward to welcoming you to our dynamic team. As we discussed, your position would be Senior Vice President and General Counsel, Veralto based in Waltham, MA, reporting to Jennifer Honeycutt, President and CEO, Veralto.

Incentive Compensation: You are eligible to participate in the Incentive Compensation Plan (ICP) with a target bonus of 70% of your annual base salary, subject to periodic review. Normally, ICP payments are made during the first quarter of the following calendar year. This bonus is based on a Company Financial Factor and a Personal Performance Factor which are determined each year. Associates who commence employment on or after October 1 of the calendar year in which they commence employment will not be eligible for ICP bonus for that calendar year. Associates who commence employment prior to October 1 of the calendar year in which they commence employment will be eligible for an ICP bonus on a pro-rated basis. Upon the Separation, EAS will adopt its own incentive compensation plan.

Benefits: You will be eligible to participate in any associate benefit plan that the Company has adopted or may adopt, maintain, or contribute to for the benefit of its regular employees generally, subject to satisfying any applicable eligibility requirements. You will be eligible to participate in our comprehensive health and other insurance benefits immediately upon your first day of employment with the Company. You will be eligible to participate in our 401(k) retirement plan beginning on your first day of employment subject to the applicable plan. We will provide further information about our various benefit programs in a separate document. Upon the Separation, EAS will adopt its own health, insurance and retirement benefits plans.

Vacation/ Paid Time Off: You will be eligible for annual vacation/ paid time off benefits pursuant to the Company's vacation /paid time off policy. Upon the Separation, EAS will adopt its own vacation/ paid time off policy.

Directors considers such recommendations to grant you an equity award with a target value of $700,000, consisting of 50% stock options and 50% RSUs, and vesting 50% on each of the third and fourth anniversaries of the grant date. After the Separation, you will be eligible annually to participate in Veralto's equity compensation program, subject to periodic review.

New Hire Equity Award. A recommendation will be made in the next regularly scheduled meeting after your Start Date at which the Compensation Committee of Danaher's Board of Directors considers such recommendations to grant you a one-time sign-on equity award with a target award value of $2,100,00, consisting of 50% stock options and 50% RSUs, and vesting 25% on each of the first, second, third and fourth anniversaries of the grant date.

Any equity awards set forth above will be governed solely by the terms and conditions set forth in Danaher's applicable stock plan and in the particular form of award agreement required to be signed with respect to each award. Unless Danaher determines otherwise, the following methodology in connection with such equity awards will be used:

Upon the Separation, any outstanding Danaher equity awards will be converted to EAS equity with the intrinsic value of the replacement EAS equity immediately following the Separation equivalent overall to the intrinsic value of the Danaher equity immediately prior to the Separation. Post-Separation, we anticipate that EAS will adopt its own equity compensation program based on EAS shares.

Should the Separation occur prior to your Start Date, or prior to the next regularly scheduled Danaher equity award grant date that occurs after your Start Date, the same recommendation will be made to the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of EAS ("EAS Compensation Committee") and any award granted would relate to shares in EAS and be governed by the terms determined by the EAS Compensation Committee, including the methodology used in calculating any equity awards.

Signing Bonus: The Company will provide you a signing bonus equal to $250,000 that is payable in the first normal payroll date following the commencement of your employment with the Company. Payment of this bonus is conditioned on your execution of the Signing Bonus Repayment Agreement. We will provide the agreement in a separate document.

Supplemental Retirement/Deferred Compensation Benefit: You will be eligible to participate in Danaher's executive supplemental retirement/deferred compensation program. This program is a non qualified executive benefit designed to supplement retirement benefits that otherwise are limited by IRS regulations and provide the opportunity for you to defer taxation on a portion of your current income (base salary or ICP bonus or both). Vesting requirements and your participation in the program are subject to all of the terms and conditions set forth in the applicable plan documents. Additional information on the program will be provided to you by Fidelity after you join the Company. Upon the Separation, EAS will adopt its own supplemental retirement/deferred compensation plans. Any benefits arising from participation in the program up to and immediately prior to the Separation will be transitioned to a comparable EAS program upon Separation.

We will provide the agreement in a separate document. Upon the Separation, EAS will adopt its own relocation benefits policy which will apply if you have not relocated to the Waltham, MA area by then.
