Section 2.01    Designation and Principal Amount. Each series of Notes may be issued from
time to time upon written order of the Company for the authentication and delivery of such series of Notes pursuant to Section 303 of the Base Indenture. There are hereby authorized: 

(a)    a series of Securities designated as the 1.700% Senior Notes due 2024, limited in initial aggregate
principal amount to €750,000,000 (except upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of, other Securities pursuant to Sections 304, 305, 306, 906 or 1107 of the Base Indenture); 

(b)    a series of Securities designated as the 2.100% Senior Notes due 2026, limited in initial aggregate
principal amount to €500,000,000 (except upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of, other Securities pursuant to Sections 304, 305, 306, 906 or 1107 of the Base Indenture); and 

(c)    a series of Securities designated as the 2.500% Senior Notes due 2030, limited in initial aggregate
principal amount to €500,000,000 (except upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of, other Securities pursuant to Sections 304, 305, 306, 906 or 1107 of the Base Indenture). 

The Company may create and issue additional Notes of any series having the same terms and conditions as such series of Notes in all respects
(or in all respects except for the Issue Date, issue price and, to the extent applicable, the payment of interest accruing prior to the Issue Date of such additional Notes or the first payment of interest following the Issue Date), so that such
additional Notes of such series will be consolidated and form a single series with the initial Notes of such series. 

Section 2.02    Maturity. (a) The date upon which the 2024 Notes shall
become due and payable at final maturity, together with any accrued and unpaid interest, is March 30, 2024 (the “2024 Notes Maturity Date”), (b) the date upon which the 2026 Notes shall become due and payable at final
maturity, together with any accrued and unpaid interest, is September 30, 2026 (the “2026 Notes Maturity Date”) and (c) the date upon which the 2030 Notes shall become due and payable at final maturity, together
with any accrued and unpaid interest, is March 30, 2030 (the “2030 Notes Maturity Date”). 

Section 2.03    Form, Payment and Appointment. Except as provided in Section 2.04,
each series of Notes shall be issued in fully registered, certificated form. Principal of and interest on each series of Notes will be payable, the transfer of such series of Notes will be registrable, and such series of Notes will be exchangeable
for such series of Notes of a like aggregate principal amount, at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose located at One Canada Square, London E14 5AL, United Kingdom, which shall initially be the corporate trust office of
the Paying Agent; provided, however, that payment of interest may be made at the option of the Company by check mailed to the Person entitled thereto at such address as shall appear in the Security register or by wire transfer to an account
appropriately designated by the Person entitled to payment; provided, that the Paying Agent shall have received written notice of such account designation at least five (5) Business Days prior to the date of such payment (subject to surrender
of the relevant Note in the case of a payment of interest on a Redemption Date or the Maturity Date). 
 No service charge shall be made for
any registration of transfer or exchange of any series of Notes, but the Company may require payment from the applicable Holder of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection therewith. 

  
 7 













 The Notes shall be issuable in denominations of €100,000 and integral multiples of
€1,000 in excess thereof. 
 The specified currency of the Notes shall be euro. Initial Holders of Notes of a series will be required
to pay for such Notes in euro, and all payments of interest and principal, including payments made upon any redemption or repurchase of such Notes, will be payable in euro (except as otherwise provided in this Section 2.03) in immediately
available funds at the corporate trust office of the Paying Agent or such other place designated by the Company with written notification to the Trustee. If the euro is unavailable to the Company due to the imposition of exchange controls or other
circumstances beyond the Company’s control or if the euro is no longer being used by the then-member states of the European Economic and Monetary Union that have adopted the euro as their currency or for the settlement of transactions by public
institutions of or within the international banking community, then all payments in respect of the Notes of each series shall be made in U.S. dollars until the euro is again available to the Company. In such circumstances, the amount payable on any
date in euro will be converted into U.S. dollars on the basis of the most recently available Market Exchange Rate for the euro. Any payment in respect of the Notes of a series so made in U.S. dollars will not constitute an Event of Default under
such series of Notes or the Indenture. Neither the Trustee nor the Paying Agent for the Notes shall have any responsibility for any calculation or conversion in connection with the foregoing. 

Section 2.04    Global Notes. The Notes of each series shall be issued initially in the
form of a permanent Global Security in registered form (each, a “Global Note”), deposited with, or on behalf of, Euroclear and Clearstream, and registered in the name of the nominee of the Common Depositary or its nominee for the
accounts of Euroclear and Clearstream. Unless and until a Global Note is exchanged for Notes of such series in certificated form, such Global Note may be transferred, in whole but not in part. 

All payments due in respect of any series of Notes while such Notes are in the form of a Global Note, including the redemption price due in
respect of the redemption of any such series, shall be made to the Paying Agent, which in turn shall make payment with respect to the applicable series of Notes to the Common Depositary for the account of Euroclear and Clearstream, or in each case
to their respective successors selected or approved by the Company or to the nominee of such successor. 

Section 2.05    Interest. (a) Interest payable on any Interest Payment Date,
Maturity Date or Redemption Date, shall be the amount of interest accrued from, and including, the immediately preceding Interest Payment Date in respect of which interest has been paid or duly provided for (or from and including the Issue Date, if
no interest has previously been paid or duly provided for) to, but excluding, such Interest Payment Date, Maturity Date or, if applicable, Redemption Date, as the case may be. Interest on the Notes will be computed on the basis of the actual number
of days in the period for which interest is being calculated and the actual number of days from and including the last date on which interest was paid on the Notes (or the Issue Date if no interest has been paid on the Notes), to but excluding the
next scheduled Interest Payment Date, Maturity Date or Redemption Date, as applicable. This payment convention is referred to as ACTUAL/ACTUAL (ICMA) as defined in the rulebook of the International Capital Markets Association. 

(b)    The 2024 Notes will bear interest at the rate of 1.700% per year; the 2026 Notes will bear interest at the
rate of 2.100% per year; and the 2030 Notes will bear interest at the rate of 2.500% per year. Interest on the 2024 Notes shall be payable annually in arrears on March 30 of each year (each, a “2024 Notes Interest Payment
Date”), commencing March 30, 2021; interest on the 2026 Notes shall be payable annually in arrears on September 30 of each year (each, a “2026 Notes Interest Payment Date”), commencing
September 30, 2020; and interest on the 2030 Notes shall be payable annually in arrears on March 30 of each year (each, a “2030 Notes Interest Payment Date”), commencing March 30, 2021, in each case to the
Persons in whose names such Notes are registered at the close of business on the Record Date for such Interest Payment Date, except as provided in Section 2.06. 

  
 8 













 Section 2.06    Payment on Day other than a
Business Day. In the event that any Interest Payment Date with respect to any series of Notes or the Maturity Date or a Redemption Date for any series of Notes falls on a day that is not a Business Day, then the related payments of principal,
premium, if any, and interest shall be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day (and no additional interest will accrue or otherwise accumulate on the amount payable for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date, Maturity
Date or Redemption Date, as applicable). Interest due on the Maturity Date or a Redemption Date (in each case, whether or not an Interest Payment Date) of any series of Notes will be paid to the Person to whom principal of such Notes is payable.

 Section 2.07    Payments of Additional Amounts. All payments made by the
Company under or with respect to the Notes will be made free and clear of and without withholding or deduction for or on account of any present or future taxes, duties, levies, imposts, assessments or governmental charges of whatever nature imposed
or levied by or on behalf of any Taxing Jurisdiction (“Taxes”), unless the Company, as the case may be, is required to withhold or deduct Taxes by law or by the interpretation or administration thereof. In the event that the Company
is required to so withhold or deduct any amount for or on account of any Taxes from any payment made under or with respect to any series of Notes, the Company will pay to a Holder of Notes that is not a United States Person such additional amounts
(“Additional Amounts”) as may be necessary so that the net amount received by each Holder of Notes (including Additional Amounts) after such withholding or deduction will equal the amount that such Holder would have received if such
Taxes had not been required to be withheld or deducted; provided that no Additional Amounts will be payable with respect to a payment to a Holder of Notes or a holder of a beneficial interests in Global Notes where such holder is subject to taxation
on such payment by a relevant Taxing Jurisdiction for any reason other than such holder’s mere ownership of the Notes or for or on account of: 

(a) any Taxes that are imposed or withheld solely because such holder or a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, or member of such holder if such
holder is an estate, trust, partnership, limited liability company or other fiscally transparent entity, or a person holding a power over an estate or trust administered by a fiduciary holder: 

(1) is or was present or engaged in, or is or was treated as present or engaged in, a trade or business in the Taxing
Jurisdiction or has or had a permanent establishment in the Taxing Jurisdiction; 
 (2) has or had any present or former
connection (other than the mere fact of ownership of such Notes) with the Taxing Jurisdiction imposing such Taxes, including being or having been a national citizen or resident thereof, being treated as being or having been a resident thereof or
being or having been physically present therein; 
 (3) with respect to any withholding Taxes imposed by the United States,
is or was with respect to the United States a personal holding company, a passive foreign investment company, a controlled foreign corporation, a foreign private foundation or other foreign tax-exempt
organization or corporation that has accumulated earnings to avoid United States federal income tax; 

  
 9 













 (4) actually or constructively owns or owned 10% or more of the total
combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3) of the Code; or 

(5) is or was a bank receiving payments on an extension of credit made pursuant to a loan agreement entered into in the
ordinary course of its trade or business within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3) of the Code. 
 (b) any estate, inheritance, gift,
sales, transfer, excise, personal property or similar Taxes imposed with respect to the Notes, except as otherwise provided herein; 
 (c)
any Taxes imposed solely as a result of the presentation of such Notes (where presentation is required) for payment on a date more than 30 days after the date on which such payment became due and payable or the date on which payment thereof is duly
provided for, whichever is later, except to the extent that the beneficiary or holder thereof would have been entitled to the payment of Additional Amounts had the Notes been presented for payment on any date during such 30-day period; 
 (d) any Taxes imposed or withheld solely as a result of the failure of such holder or
any other person to comply with applicable certification, information, documentation or other reporting requirements concerning the nationality, residence, identity or connection with the Taxing Jurisdiction of such holder, if such compliance is
required by statute, regulation, ruling or administrative practice of the relevant Taxing Jurisdiction or by any applicable tax treaty to which the relevant Taxing Jurisdiction is a party as a precondition to relief or exemption from such Taxes
(including the submission of an applicable IRS Form W-8 in the case of a non-United States Person); 

(e) with respect to withholding Taxes imposed by the United States, any such Taxes imposed by reason of the failure of such holder to fulfill
the statement requirements of sections 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code; 
 (f) any Taxes that are payable by any method other than withholding
or deduction by the Company or any paying agent from payments in respect of such Notes; 
 (g) any Taxes required to be withheld by any
paying agent from any payment in respect of any Notes if such payment can be made without such withholding by at least one other paying agent; 

(h) any withholding or deduction required pursuant to sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code, any regulations or agreements thereunder,
official interpretations thereof, or any law, rule, guidance or administrative practice implementing an intergovernmental agreement entered into in connection with such sections of the Code; or 

(i) any combination of Section 2.07(a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (f), (g), or (h). 

Additional Amounts also will not be payable to any Holder or the holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Note that is a fiduciary,
partnership, limited liability company or other fiscally transparent entity, or to such holder that is not the sole Holder or holder of such beneficial interests of such Note, as the case may be. This exception, however, will apply only to the
extent that a beneficiary or settlor with respect to the fiduciary, or a beneficial owner or member of the partnership, limited liability company or other fiscally transparent entity, would not have been entitled to the payment of an Additional
Amount had the beneficiary, settlor, beneficial owner or member received directly its beneficial or distributive share of the payment.

resident of the United States for U.S. federal income tax purposes, a corporation, partnership or other entity created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state of the United States or the District of Columbia (other than a
partnership that is not treated as a United States person under any applicable Treasury Regulations), or any estate or trust the income of which is subject to United States federal income taxation regardless of its source. As used in this
Section 2.07 and Section 3.03, the term “United States” means the United States of America, the states of the United States, and the District of Columbia. 

The Company will also (i) make such withholding or deduction of Taxes and (ii) remit the full amount of Taxes so deducted or
withheld to the relevant Taxing Jurisdiction in accordance with all applicable laws. The Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain certified copies of tax receipts evidencing the payment of any Taxes so deducted or withheld from
each Taxing Authority imposing such Taxes. The Company will, upon request, make available to the holders of the Notes, within 90 days after the date the payment of any Taxes so deducted or withheld is due pursuant to applicable law, certified copies
of tax receipts evidencing such payment by the Company or if, notwithstanding the Company’s efforts to obtain such receipts, the same are not obtainable, other evidence of such payments by the Company. 

At least 30 days prior to each date on which any payment under or with respect to the Notes is due and payable, if the Company will be
obligated to pay Additional Amounts with respect to such payment, the Company will deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating the fact that such Additional Amounts will be payable, the amounts so payable and will set forth such

 ARTICLE 3 

REDEMPTION OF THE NOTES 

Section 3.01    Optional Redemption by Company. (a) At any time and from time
to time prior to the applicable Par Call Date, the Company has the right, at its option, to redeem any series of Notes, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to the greater of: 

(i)    100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, and 

(ii)    the sum of the present values of the Remaining Scheduled Payments on the series of Notes to be redeemed (not
including any portion of the payments of interest that will be accrued and unpaid to and including the Redemption Date) discounted to the Redemption Date on an annual basis (ACTUAL/ACTUAL (ICMA)) at the applicable Comparable Government Bond Rate
plus 35 basis points, in the case of the 2024 Notes, 40 basis points, in the case of the 2026 Notes and 45 basis points, in the case of the 2030 Notes, 

(iii)    plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed to,
but excluding, the Redemption Date. 
 (b)    On or after the applicable Par Call Date for each series of Notes,
the Company has the right, at its option, to redeem each series of Notes, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of such Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid
interest, if any, on the principal amount of the series of Notes being redeemed to, but excluding, the Redemption Date. 

(c)     The Company will cause the notice of any redemption to be mailed (or sent electronically in
accordance with applicable Depositary procedures) to the registered Holders of the applicable Notes to be redeemed not less than 15 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date. Any notice may, at the discretion of the Company be subject to
the satisfaction or waiver of one or more conditions precedent. In that case, the notice shall state the nature of such condition precedent. If a series of Notes are only partially redeemed pursuant to this Section 3.01, such Notes to be
redeemed will be selected by the Trustee in such manner as in its sole discretion it shall deem appropriate and fair, subject to any applicable Depositary procedures. The price for any redemption pursuant to this Section 3.01 shall be paid
prior to 12:00 noon, London time, on the applicable Redemption Date or at such later time as is then permitted by the rules of the Depositary applicable to such series of Notes (if then registered as Global Notes); provided, that the Company
shall deposit with the Trustee or the Paying Agent an amount sufficient to pay the applicable redemption price by 10:00 a.m., London time, on the date such redemption price is to be paid. 

(d)    If money sufficient to pay the redemption price of all of the Notes (or a portion thereof) to be redeemed on
the applicable Redemption Date is deposited with the Trustee or the Paying Agent on or before such Redemption Date as provided herein, then on and after such Redemption Date, interest will cease to accrue on such series of Notes (or such portion
thereof) called for redemption. 
 Section 3.02    Change of Control Triggering
Event. (a) If a Change of Control Triggering Event occurs, unless the Company has exercised its right to redeem the Notes in full as described in Section 3.01, or with respect to any series of Notes, such series of
Notes has become redeemable as described in Section 3.03, Holders of each series of Notes will have the right to require the Company to repurchase all or any part (equal to €100,000 or an integral multiple of €1,000 in excess thereof)
of their Notes pursuant to the offer described below (the “Change of Control Offer”) on the terms set forth in the Notes. In the Change of Control Offer, the Company will be required to offer payment in cash equal to


  
 12 













 
101% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes repurchased to the date of purchase (the “Change of Control
Payment”). Within 30 days following any Change of Control Triggering Event, or, at the Company’s option, prior to the date of the consummation of any Change of Control, but after public announcement of the transaction that constitutes
or may constitute the Change of Control, the Company will be required to mail a notice to Holders of each applicable series of Notes, with a copy to the Trustee, describing the transaction or transactions that constitute or may constitute the Change
of Control Triggering Event and offering to repurchase such applicable series of Notes on the date specified in the notice, which date will be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed (the “Change
of Control Payment Date”), pursuant to the procedures required by the Notes and described in such notice. The notice shall, if mailed prior to the date of the consummation of the Change of Control, state that the offer to purchase is
conditioned on the Change of Control Triggering Event occurring on or prior to the Change of Control Payment Date. The Company must comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any
other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes as a result of a Change of Control Triggering Event. To the extent that the provisions of any
securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control Triggering Event provisions of the Notes, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under
this Section 3.02 or the Change of Control Triggering Event provisions of the Notes by virtue of such conflicts. 

(b)    On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company will be required, to the extent lawful, to: 

(i)    accept for payment all Notes of each applicable series, or portions of such Notes, properly
tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer; 
 (ii)    deposit with the applicable Paying
Agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all Notes of each applicable series, or portions of such Notes, properly tendered; and 

(iii)    deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes of each applicable series
properly accepted together with an Officers’ Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of such Notes, or portions of such Notes, being repurchased. 

(c)    The applicable Paying Agent will promptly mail to each Holder of Notes of each applicable series properly
tendered the Change of Control Payment for such Notes, and the Trustee will promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book-entry) to each such Holder a new Note of such series equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion
of any Notes of such series surrendered; provided that each new Note will be in a principal amount of €100,000 or an integral multiple of €1,000 in excess thereof. The Company will not be required to make an offer to repurchase
Notes of any series upon a Change of Control Triggering Event if a third party makes such an offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for an offer made by the Company and such third party purchases all
Notes of each such series properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer. In addition, the Company will not repurchase any Notes if there has occurred and is continuing on the Change of Control Payment Date an Event of Default under the
Indenture, other than a default in the payment of the Change of Control Payment upon a Change of Control Triggering Event. 

  
 13 













 Section 3.03    Redemption Upon Changes in
Withholding Tax. Unless otherwise provided, the Notes of any series may be redeemed, as a whole but not in part, at the option of the Company, upon not less than 15 days, but no more than 60 days’ notice (which notice shall be irrevocable),
at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date and Additional Amounts, if any, if as a result of any amendment to, or change in, the laws, regulations or
rulings of the United States, as applicable, or any political subdivision thereof or therein having the power to tax (a “Taxing Jurisdiction”), or any change in the application or official interpretation of such laws, including any
action taken by, or change in the published administrative practice of, a taxing authority or a holding by a court of competent jurisdiction (regardless of whether such action, change or holding is with respect to the Company), which amendment or
change is announced and becomes effective on or after the date the Notes of such series are issued, the Company has become, or there is a material probability that it will become, obligated to pay Additional Amounts on the next date on which any
amount would be payable with respect to the Notes of such series, and such obligation cannot be avoided by the use of commercially reasonable measures available to the Company; provided, however, that no such notice of redemption may be given
earlier than 60 days prior to the earliest date on which the Company would be obligated, or there is a material probability the Company would otherwise be obligated, to pay such Additional Amount. Prior to the publication or, where relevant, mailing
(and/or to the extent permitted by applicable procedures or regulations, electronic delivery) of any notice of redemption described in this paragraph, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee (i) an Officers’ Certificate of the Company
stating that the obligation to pay Additional Amounts cannot be avoided by the Company taking commercially reasonable measures available to it and (ii) a written opinion of independent tax counsel to the Company of recognized standing to the
effect that the Company has or there is a material probability that it will become obligated to pay Additional Amounts as a result of a change, amendment, official interpretation or application described above and that the Company cannot avoid the
payment of such Additional Amounts by taking commercially reasonable measures available to it.

 Danaher Corporation, a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of Delaware (herein called the
“Company,” which term includes any successor Person under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to
                    , or registered assigns, the principal sum set forth in the Schedule of Increases or Decreases in Note attached hereto on
March 30, 2024, and to pay interest thereon from March 30, 2020 or from the immediately preceding Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, annually in arrears on March 30 of each year, commencing
March 30, 2021 at the rate of 1.700% per annum, until the principal hereof is paid or made available for payment. Interest shall be computed on the basis of the payment convention ACTUAL/ACTUAL (ICMA) as defined in the rulebook of the
International Capital Markets Association and in accordance with the Third Supplemental Indenture. The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in such Indenture, be paid to the
Person in whose name this Note (or one or more Predecessor Notes) is registered on the Security Register at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest, which shall be the fifteenth calendar day, whether or not a Business Day,
immediately preceding the related Interest Payment Date, except as provided in Section 2.06 of the Third Supplemental Indenture. 

  
 A-1 













 Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for will forthwith cease to be
payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date and may either be paid to the Person in whose name this Note (or one or more Predecessor Notes) is registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted
Interest to be fixed by the Trustee, notice whereof shall be given to Holders of Notes of this series not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date, or be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements
of any securities exchange on which the Notes of this series may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in said Indenture. 

Payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on this Note will be made at the office or agency of the Company maintained for
that purpose in accordance with the Indenture, which shall initially be the corporate trust office of the Paying Agent, in euro in immediately available funds; provided, however, that at the option of the Company, payment of interest may be
made by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register or by wire transfer to an account maintained by the Person entitled thereto as specified in the Security Register, and provided
further that if the euro is unavailable to the Company due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the Company’s control or if the euro is no longer being used by the then-member states of the European Economic and
Monetary Union that have adopted the euro as their currency or for the settlement of transactions by public institutions of or within the international banking community, then all payments in respect of this Note shall be made in U.S. dollars until
the euro is again available to the Company. In such circumstances, the amount payable on any date in euro will be converted into U.S. dollars on the basis of the most recently available Market Exchange Rate for the euro. 

The Company has initially appointed The Bank of New York Mellon, London Branch, as the Paying Agent to act as such agent with respect to the
Notes, but the Company may, in its sole discretion, appoint any other institution (including any Affiliate of the Company) to serve as any such agent from time to time, without any prior notice to any Holder. The Company will give the Trustee prompt
written notice of any change in any such appointment. 
 Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Note set forth on the
reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as if set forth at this place. 
 Unless the
certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Trustee referred to on the reverse hereof by manual or electronic signature, this Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this instrument to be duly executed under its corporate seal.

 Danaher Corporation, a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of Delaware (herein called the
“Company,” which term includes any successor Person under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to
                    , or registered assigns, the principal sum set forth in the Schedule of Increases or Decreases in Note attached hereto on
September 30, 2026, and to pay interest thereon from March 30, 2020 or from the immediately preceding Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, annually in arrears on September 30 of each year,
commencing September 30, 2020 at the rate of 2.100% per annum, until the principal hereof is paid or made available for payment. Interest shall be computed on the basis of the payment convention ACTUAL/ACTUAL (ICMA) as defined in the rulebook
of the International Capital Markets Association and in accordance with the Third Supplemental Indenture. The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in such Indenture, be paid to
the Person in whose name this Note (or one or more Predecessor Notes) is registered on the Security Register at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest, which shall be the fifteenth calendar day, whether or not a Business

 B-1 













 Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for will forthwith cease to be
payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date and may either be paid to the Person in whose name this Note (or one or more Predecessor Notes) is registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted
Interest to be fixed by the Trustee, notice whereof shall be given to Holders of Notes of this series not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date, or be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements

made by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register or by wire transfer to an account maintained by the Person entitled thereto as specified in the Security Register, and provided
further that if the euro is unavailable to the Company due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the Company’s control or if the euro is no longer being used by the then-member states of the European Economic and
Monetary Union that have adopted the euro as their currency or for the settlement of transactions by public institutions of or within the international banking community, then all payments in respect of this Note shall be made in U.S. dollars until
the euro is again available to the Company. In such circumstances, the amount payable on any date in euro will be converted into U.S. dollars on the basis of the most recently available Market Exchange Rate for the euro. 

The Company has initially appointed The Bank of New York Mellon, London Branch, as the Paying Agent to act as such agent with respect to the
Notes, but the Company may, in its sole discretion, appoint any other institution (including any Affiliate of the Company) to serve as any such agent from time to time, without any prior notice to any Holder. The Company will give the Trustee prompt

 Danaher Corporation, a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of Delaware (herein called the
“Company,” which term includes any successor Person under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to
                                    , or registered assigns, the
principal sum set forth in the Schedule of Increases or Decreases in Note attached hereto on March 30, 2030, and to pay interest thereon from March 30, 2020 or from the immediately preceding Interest Payment Date to which interest has been
paid or duly provided for, annually in arrears on March 30 of each year, commencing March 30, 2021 at the rate of 2.500% per annum, until the principal hereof is paid or made available for payment. Interest shall be computed on the basis
of the payment convention ACTUAL/ACTUAL (ICMA) as defined in the rulebook of the International Capital Markets Association and in accordance with the Third Supplemental Indenture. The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on
any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in such Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Note (or one or more Predecessor Notes) is registered on the Security Register at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such
interest, which shall be the fifteenth calendar day, whether or not a Business Day, immediately preceding the related Interest Payment Date, except as provided in Section 2.06 of the Third Supplemental Indenture. 

  
 C-1 













 Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for will forthwith cease to be
payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date and may either be paid to the Person in whose name this Note (or one or more Predecessor Notes) is registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted
Interest to be fixed by the Trustee, notice whereof shall be given to Holders of Notes of this series not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date, or be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements
of any securities exchange on which the Notes of this series may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in said Indenture. 

Payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on this Note will be made at the office or agency of the Company maintained for
that purpose in accordance with the Indenture, which shall initially be the corporate trust office of the Paying Agent, in euro in immediately available funds; provided, however, that at the option of the Company, payment of interest may be
made by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register or by wire transfer to an account maintained by the Person entitled thereto as specified in the Security Register, and provided
further that if the euro is unavailable to the Company due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the Company’s control or if the euro is no longer being used by the then-member states of the European Economic and
Monetary Union that have adopted the euro as their currency or for the settlement of transactions by public institutions of or within the international banking community, then all payments in respect of this Note shall be made in U.S. dollars until
the euro is again available to the Company. In such circumstances, the amount payable on any date in euro will be converted into U.S. dollars on the basis of the most recently available Market Exchange Rate for the euro. 

The Company has initially appointed The Bank of New York Mellon, London Branch, as the Paying Agent to act as such agent with respect to the
Notes, but the Company may, in its sole discretion, appoint any other institution (including any Affiliate of the Company) to serve as any such agent from time to time, without any prior notice to any Holder. The Company will give the Trustee prompt
written notice of any change in any such appointment. 
 Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Note set forth on the
reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as if set forth at this place.

in one or more series under an Initial Base Indenture, dated as of December 11, 2007 (herein called the “Initial Base Indenture”), between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as Trustee (herein
called the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), as supplemented by a Supplemental Indenture (the “First Supplemental Indenture”), dated as of September 15, 2015 and as
amended by a Second Supplemental Indenture (the “Second Supplemental Indenture”), dated as of July 1, 2019, between the Company and the Trustee (the Initial Base Indenture, as so supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture

Indenture,” which term shall have the meaning assigned to it in such instrument, and together with the Base Indenture, herein called the “Indenture”) and reference is hereby made to the Indenture for a statement of the
respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes and of the terms upon which the Notes are, and are to be authenticated and delivered. The Notes are subject to a
Paying Agency Agreement, dated as of March 30, 2020, between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon, London Branch, as paying agent (the “Paying Agent”). This Note is one of the series designated on the face hereof
initially limited in aggregate principal amount to €500,000,000. The Notes are unsecured general obligations of the Company. 

1.    Optional Redemption 

At any time and from time to time prior to December 30, 2029, the Company shall have the right to redeem the Notes, in whole or in part,
at its option, at a redemption price equal to the greater of: 
 (i)    100% of the principal
amount of the Notes to be redeemed; and 
 (ii)    the sum of the present values of the Remaining
Scheduled Payments on the Notes to be redeemed (not including any portion of the payments of interest that will be accrued and unpaid to and including the Redemption Date) discounted to the Redemption Date on an annual basis (ACTUAL/ACTUAL (ICMA))
at the applicable Comparable Government Bond Rate plus 45 basis points, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed to, but excluding, the Redemption Date. 

On or after December 30, 2029, the Company shall have the right, at its option, to redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, at any time and
from time to time, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed to, but excluding, the Redemption Date. 

The Company will mail notice of any redemption to the registered Holders of the Notes to be redeemed not less than 15 nor more than 60 days
prior to the Redemption Date. Any notice may, at the discretion of the Company be subject to the satisfaction or waiver of one or more conditions precedent. In that case, the notice shall state the nature of such condition precedent. If the Notes
are only partially redeemed pursuant to Section 3.01 of the Third Supplemental Indenture, the Notes to be redeemed will be selected by the Trustee in such manner as in its sole discretion it shall deem appropriate and fair, subject to any
applicable Depositary procedures. 
 If money sufficient to pay the redemption price of all of the Notes (or a portion thereof) to be
redeemed on the Redemption Date is deposited with the Trustee or Paying Agent on or before the Redemption Date as provided herein and in the Indenture, then on and after such Redemption Date, interest will cease to accrue on such Notes (or such
portion thereof) called for redemption. 

  
 C-4

 The provisions of Sections 2.07 and 3.03 of the Third Supplemental Indenture shall apply
to this series of Notes. 
 Whenever the payment of the principal of or interest or any other amounts on, or in respect of, this Note is
mentioned, in any context, such mention shall be deemed to include mention of the payment of Additional Amounts to the extent that, in such context, Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable in respect thereof pursuant to the terms of the
Indenture, and express mention of the payment of Additional Amounts in any provision of this series of Notes shall not be construed as excluding the payment of Additional Amounts in those provisions thereof where such express mention is not made.

 3.    No Other Redemption 

Except as set forth in Sections 1 and 2 of this Note and in Article 3 of the Third Supplemental Indenture, the Company may not redeem the Notes
prior to the Maturity Date. 
 4.    Change of Control Triggering Event 

If a Change of Control Triggering Event occurs, unless the Notes of this series have become redeemable as described in Sections 3.01 and 3.03
of the Third Supplemental Indenture, Holders of the Notes of this series will have the right to require the Company to repurchase all or any part (equal to €100,000 or an integral multiple of €1,000 in excess thereof) of their Notes
pursuant to the offer described below (the “Change of Control Offer”) on the terms set forth herein. In the Change of Control Offer, the Company will be required to offer payment in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal
amount of Notes repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes repurchased to the date of purchase (the “Change of Control Payment”). Within 30 days following any Change of Control Triggering Event, or, at the
Company’s option, prior to the date of the consummation of any Change of Control, but after public announcement of the transaction that constitutes or may constitute the Change of Control, the Company will be required to mail a notice to
Holders of the Notes, with a copy to the Trustee, describing the transaction or transactions that constitute or may constitute the Change of Control Triggering Event and offering to repurchase the Notes on the date specified in the notice, which
date will be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed (the “Change of Control Payment Date”), pursuant to the procedures required by the Indenture and described in such notice. The notice
shall, if mailed prior to the date of the consummation of the Change of Control, state that the offer to purchase is conditioned on the Change of Control Triggering Event occurring on or prior to the Change of Control Payment Date. The Company must
comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the
repurchase of the Notes as a result of a Change of Control Triggering Event. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control Triggering Event provisions of the Notes, the Company will
comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under Section 3.02 of the Third Supplemental Indenture and this Section 4 of this Note by virtue of such conflicts. 

On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company will be required, to the extent lawful, to: 

(i)    accept for payment all of the Notes, or portions of the Notes, properly tendered pursuant to
the Change of Control Offer; 

  
 C-5 













 (ii)    deposit with the Paying Agent an amount
equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all of the Notes, or portions of the Notes, properly tendered; and 

(iii)    deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes properly accepted together with
an Officers’ Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes, or portions of Notes, being repurchased. 
 The Paying Agent
will promptly mail to each Holder of Notes properly tendered the Change of Control Payment for such Notes, and the Trustee will promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book-entry) to each such Holder a new Note equal in
principal amount to any unpurchased portion of any Notes surrendered; provided that each new Note will be in a principal amount of €100,000 or an integral multiple of €1,000 in excess thereof. The Company will not be required to
make an offer to repurchase the Notes upon a Change of Control Triggering Event if a third party makes such an offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for an offer made by the Company and such third party
purchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer. 
 In addition, the Company will not repurchase any Notes if there
has occurred and is continuing on the Change of Control Payment Date an Event of Default under the Indenture, other than a default in the payment of the Change of Control Payment upon a Change of Control Triggering Event.

series, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such
Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note. Without notice to or
consent of any Holder, the parties thereto may amend or supplement the Indenture and the Notes to, among other things, cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency, provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes, or
