When the reporting person was originally awarded the RSUs as to which this filing is being made, they were reported as derivative securities in Table II and as a result this form is being filed to reflect the vesting and distribution of those shares (even though such RSUs have been reflected as directly owned shares (and not derivative securities) in the reporting person's filings since November 2010). Relates to the withholding of shares for tax purposes in connection with the vesting of performance-based restricted stock units reported above. Each performance based restricted stock unit represents the right to receive one share of Danaher common stock. Fifty percent of the options become exercisable on each of the fourth and fifth anniversaries of the grant date, which is February 23, 2012. James F. O'Reilly, attorney-in-fact for Daniel L.
