 Exhibit 10.19 
 Danaher Corporation 
 Description of Non-Management Director
Compensation Arrangements 
 Following is a description of the compensation arrangements for each of the Company’s non-management
directors. For 2011, our non-management directors receive: 
  

	 	•	 	 an annual cash retainer of $40,000, paid in four, equal installments following each quarter of service; 

 

	 	•	 	 $2,500 for each board meeting they attend (whether by telephone or in person); 

 

	 	•	 	 $1,000 for each committee meeting they attend (whether by telephone or in person); 

 

	 	•	 	 an annual grant of options, calculated as follows. Each non-management director receives options with a target award value of $125,000. Using the
average closing price of Danaher’s common stock over a 15-day trading period ending on the seventh business day before the grant date, the target award value is converted into a specified number of options (rounded up to the nearest ten) based
on an assumed value per option equal to 40% of such average closing price, which options are then approved by the Compensation Committee on the date on which the July annual equity grants are approved. The exercise price for each stock option is
equal to the closing price of Danaher’s common stock on the date of grant, the options have a ten-year term and each grant is fully vested as of the date of grant; and 

 

	 	•	 	 payment of or reimbursement for Danaher-related out-of-pocket expenses, including travel expenses. 

In addition, the chair of each of the Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and Nominating and Governance Committee receives an annual retainer of
$15,000, paid in four, equal installments following each quarter of service. 
 Each non-employee director can elect to defer all or a part of
the cash director fees that he or she receives with respect to a particular year under the Non-Employee Directors’ Deferred Compensation Plan, which is a sub-plan under the 2007 Stock Incentive Plan. Amounts deferred under the plan are
converted into a particular number of phantom shares of Danaher common stock, calculated based on the closing price on the quarterly date that such fees would otherwise have been paid. A director may elect to have his or her plan balance distributed
upon cessation of Board service, or one, two, three, four or five years after cessation of Board service. All distributions from the plan are in the form of shares of Danaher common stock.

 4.2 Upon the exercise of SARs, the Grantee shall be entitled to receive an amount determined by

Grantee’s guardian or legal representative during the lifetime of the Grantee. 

 8. No Right to Continued Employment. 

Nothing in this Agreement or the Plan shall be interpreted or construed to confer upon the Grantee any right with respect to continuance
of employment by the Company, nor shall this Agreement or the Plan interfere in any way with the right of the Company to terminate the Grantee’s employment at any time. 
 9. Adjustments. 
 In the event of a change in capitalization or
certain other similar events, the Committee shall make appropriate adjustments to the Award, including but not limited to the number of SARs subject to the Grant and the Exercise Price. The Committee’s adjustment shall be made in accordance
