<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">This Amendment No.&nbsp;4 (this &#147;Amendment No.&nbsp;4&#148;) to the Statement on Schedule 13D (the &#147;Statement&#148;) relates to the common stock, par
value $.01 per share of Danaher Corporation, a corporation organized under the laws of the state of Delaware (the &#147;Company&#148;). This Amendment No.&nbsp;4 amends and supplements (i)&nbsp;the Statement originally filed on March&nbsp;30, 2007
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the &#147;Commission&#148;) by Steven M. Rales, (ii)&nbsp;Amendment No.&nbsp;1 to the Statement filed on July&nbsp;31, 2009, (iii) Amendment No.&nbsp;2 to the Statement filed on June&nbsp;30, 2011, and

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As of the date hereof, Steven M. Rales is the beneficial owner of 43,401,249 shares of common stock representing approximately 6.1% of the approximately
706,519,793 shares outstanding, as disclosed in the Company&#146;s final prospectus supplement filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(5) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and assuming conversion of all of the Series B Mandatory Convertible Preferred
Stock beneficially owned by the Reporting Person. The Reporting Person&#146;s beneficial ownership consists of 34,000,000 shares owned by limited liability companies of which the Reporting Person is the trustee of the sole member, 19,104 shares
attributable to the Reporting Person&#146;s 401(k) account, 5,196,716 shares held through a revocable trust of which the Reporting Person is trustee, 3,818,024 held through grantor retained annuity trusts of which the Reporting Person is trustee and
sole annuitant, and 117,000 shares owned by a charitable foundation of which the Reporting Person is a director. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Reporting Person&#146;s beneficial
ownership also consists of approximately 125,202.5 shares of common stock underlying 25,000 shares of the Company&#146;s Series B Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock held through a revocable trust of which the Reporting Person is trustee, and
approximately 125,202.5 shares of common stock underlying the 25,000 shares of the Company&#146;s Series B Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock owned by a charitable foundation of which the Reporting Person is a director, in each case calculated

shares of the Company&#146;s common stock at the minimum conversion rate of 5.0081 shares of the Company&#146;s common stock per share of Series B Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock. In addition, the Series B Mandatory Preferred Stock will

April&nbsp;15, 2023 (the &#147;mandatory conversion date&#148;). Upon conversion on the mandatory conversion date, the conversion rate for each share of the Series B Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock will be not more than 6.1349 shares of common
stock and not less than 5.0081 shares of common stock, with the exact conversion rate depending on the applicable market value of the common stock. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">All of the shares of the Company&#146;s common stock held by the limited liability companies of which the Reporting Person is the trustee of the sole member
are pledged to secure lines of credit with certain banks and each of these entities and the Reporting Person is in compliance with these lines of credit. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">During the past sixty days, the Reporting Person acquired beneficial ownership of 50,000 shares of Series B Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock on
