Explanation of Responses:

* If the form is filed by more than one reporting person, see Instruction 4(b)(v).
** Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal Criminal Violations. See 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 15 U.S.C. 78ff(a).
(1) The reported securities are notional dividend accruals on phantom shares in the Danaher stock fund (the "EDIP Stock Fund") under Danaher's Executive Deferred Incentive Program (the "EDIP"). The number of phantom shares accrued as a result of such notional dividend accruals is based on the closing price of Danaher common stock as reported on the NYSE on the date such dividend accruals are credited to the EDIP Stock Fund, which is the price shown in Table II, Column 8 above.
(2) The notional shares convert on a one-for-one basis.
(3) All contributions to the reporting person's EDIP Stock Fund are immediately vested. Upon termination of employment, the EDIP Stock Fund is settled in shares of Danaher common stock.

Note: File three copies of this Form, one of which must be manually signed. If space provided is insufficient, see Instruction 6 for procedure.

Potential persons who are to respond to the collection of information contained in this form are not required to respond unless the form displays a currently valid OMB number.
