<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">On October&nbsp;4, 2004,
Danaher Corporation announced that Daniel Raskas is joining Danaher as Vice
President-Corporate Development.&#160; In
connection with his appointment, on September&nbsp;30, 2004, Danaher entered
into a Severance Agreement with Mr. Raskas.&#160;
The Severance Agreement is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Form
8-K.&#160; Pursuant to the terms of the
Severance Agreement, if Mr. Raskas&#146; employment is terminated by Danaher without
cause or Mr. Raskas resigns his employment with Danaher for good reason prior
to December&nbsp;31, 2005, Danaher will pay Mr. Raskas twenty thousand dollars
a month through December&nbsp;31, 2005 or for six months, whichever is longer; <u>provided</u>,
however, that in the event Mr. Raskas does not receive all of his severance pay
under the Noncompetition Agreement executed between Danaher and Mr. Raskas on
September&nbsp;30, 2004, described below (the &#147;Noncompetition Agreement&#148;), the
severance period under the Severance Agreement will be through
December&nbsp;31, 2005 or for twelve months, whichever is longer.&#160; All payments under the Severance Agreement
are conditioned on execution of Danaher&#146;s standard release at the time of
termination.&#160; Mr. Raskas is also
entitled to continue his health benefits during the period he receives payments
under the Severance Agreement.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.25in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">In addition, on
September&nbsp;30, 2004 Danaher entered into a Noncompetition Agreement with
Mr. Raskas, which is attached as Exhibit 10.2 to this Form 8-K.&#160; Under the terms of the Noncompetition
Agreement, Mr. Raskas agrees, during the term of his employment with Danaher
and for a period of one year following termination of his employment, not to
compete with Danaher anywhere in the United States, not to sell to, offer to
sell to or solicit certain customers of Danaher, and not to hire or solicit any
employees of Danaher or otherwise encourage any employees of Danaher to leave
Danaher.&#160; The Noncompetition Agreement
also contains obligations of Mr. Raskas relating to nondisclosure of
confidential informatiom, works-made-for-hire and assignment of intellectual
property, and nondisparagement.&#160; In
consideration of Mr. Raskas&#146; obligations under the agreement, Danaher agrees
that if Danaher terminates Mr. Raskas&#146; employment without cause prior to the
termination of the agreement, Danaher will pay Mr. Raskas severance equal to
nine months salary (at the rate in effect at the time of termination) and an
additional three months salary if Mr. Raskas executes a standard release at the
time of termination, subject to certain clawback provisions in the event Mr.
Raskas breaches the agreement.</font></p>
