Dan,

We're genuinely excited about the career growth opportunity that the Vice

I'd like to document this promotional opportunity, and your acceptance. This

Agreement (copy enclosed).

Title:                            Vice President - Strategic Development;
                                  Corporate Officer, Danaher Corporation

     Annual Base Salary:          $180,000.00
     Annual Target Bonus ($/%):   $ 81,000.00 / 45%
                                  -----------
     Annual Target Total:         $261,000.00

Your next regularly scheduled performance and salary review will be twelve
months from your start date. Your participation in the Executive Incentive
Compensation Plan (ICP) will increase to the 45% target level. For 2000, your
ICP will be pro-rated based on the EWQ financial factor at your previous base
salary and target percentage, and the corporate financial factor and new base
salary and target percentage effective with your start date as VP - Strategic

Incentive Plan (EDIP).

Also, your participation in the company's auto lease program will now provide
you with a Level I car (Lexus LS400 or equivalent). Under the lease program you
will expense gas, oil, and maintenance, while the company will provide insurance
for the leased vehicle. This program is considered taxable income and will be
treated as such.

share options will be established by the NYSE closing price on the day of that
board meeting. You will be eligible for additional annual option grants
beginning in 2001.

As a Corporate Officer of Danaher Corporation, you will be provided with
