certain circumstances, rollover amounts) in a given plan year. Because the New EDIP is unfunded, the amounts deferred under the New EDIP will not actually be invested in the investments selected by the participant. Rather, the administrator will

election and the satisfaction of the applicable conditions, the administrator will credit the participant&#146;s option shares account in the New EDIP with a number of notional shares equal to the amount of such gain. If the Company pays a dividend
on its stock, the administrator will credit the participant&#146;s option shares account with a number of notional shares as calculated under the terms of the New EDIP. </FONT></P><P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT

on largely the same terms as it currently operates until such current cycle ends on December 31, 2003. Beginning as of January 1, 2004, Company contributions to the New EDIP will occur in one-year cycles. As of the beginning of each plan year or
such later date as of which participation begins, the administrator will credit an amount determined under the terms of the New EDIP to the Danaher stock investment option in such participant&#146;s benefit account in the New EDIP. Because the New
EDIP is unfunded, amounts credited to the Danaher stock investment option and to the option shares account in the New EDIP will actually be credited with notional shares rather than shares of Danaher common stock and, accordingly, no participant who
has a balance in the Danaher stock investment option in his or her account will be entitled to any dividend, voting, or other rights of a shareholder of Danaher common stock with respect to the balance in such account. </FONT></P><P

reasonably believed to be in (or not opposed to) the best interests of the corporation and, in the case of a criminal action, such person must have had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. In addition, the DGCL does not
permit indemnification in an action or suit by or in the right of the corporation, where such person has been adjudged liable to the corporation, unless, and only to the extent that, a court determines that such person fairly and reasonably is
entitled to indemnity for costs the court deems proper in light of liability adjudication. Indemnity is mandatory to the extent a claim, issue or matter has been successfully defended. </FONT></P><P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT

Item 4.
DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
The Danaher Corporation & Subsidiaries Amended and Restated Executive Deferred Incentive Program (the
"New EDIP") is a non-qualified, unfunded incentive program. Under the New EDIP, each eligible employee will be provided the opportunity to make a deferral election with respect to all or a portion of his or her salary and bonus (and under
certain circumstances, rollover amounts) in a given plan year. Because the New EDIP is unfunded, the amounts deferred under the New EDIP will not actually be invested in the investments selected by the participant. Rather, the administrator will
credit (or charge) to the participants' deferral accounts earnings (or losses) on such deferred amounts in an amount equal to the
actual rate of return or loss
on the selected investments. Upon the satisfaction of certain conditions, a participant may also elect to defer gain realized as a result of any exercise by the participant of options granted under any Company employee stock option plan. Upon such
election and the satisfaction of the applicable conditions, the administrator will credit the participant's option shares account in the New EDIP with a number of notional shares equal to the amount of such gain. If the Company pays a dividend
on its stock, the administrator will credit the participant's option shares account with a number of notional shares as calculated under the terms of the New EDIP.
The New EDIP also provides that the Company will continue the current, three-year Company contribution cycle
on largely the same terms as it currently operates until such current cycle ends on December 31, 2003. Beginning as of January 1, 2004, Company contributions to the New EDIP will occur in one-year cycles. As of the beginning of each plan year or
such later date as of which participation begins, the administrator will credit an amount determined under the terms of the New EDIP to the Danaher stock investment option in such participant's benefit account in the New EDIP. Because the New
EDIP is unfunded, amounts credited to the Danaher stock investment option and to the option shares account in the New EDIP will actually be credited with notional shares rather than shares of Danaher common stock and, accordingly, no participant who
has a balance in the Danaher stock investment option in his or her account will be entitled to any dividend, voting, or other rights of a shareholder of Danaher common stock with respect to the balance in such account.
A participant may elect to receive distributions from his or
her New EDIP account in cash, shares of Danaher common stock or a combination of cash and shares of Danaher common stock. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, all account balances invested in the Danaher stock investment option, and all balances
in the participant's option shares account, will be distributed in shares of Danaher common stock. Any shares of Danaher common stock distributed under the New EDIP may come from authorized but unissued shares, authorized and issued shares,
treasury shares or a combination of the foregoing. The right of each participant in the New EDIP is that of a general, unsecured creditor, and a participant's interest in the New EDIP may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise
encumbered.

INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL
Not applicable.
Item 6.
INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
Under Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State
of Delaware (the "DGCL"), a corporation may indemnify its directors, officers, employees and agents and its former directors, officers, employees and agents and those who serve, at the corporation's request, in such capacities with
another enterprise, against expenses (including attorney's fees), as well as judgments, fines and settlements in nonderivative lawsuits, actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the defense of any action, suit or proceeding in which
they or any of them were or are made parties or are threatened to be made parties by reason of their serving or having served in such capacity. The DGCL provides, however, that such person must have acted in good faith and in a manner he or she
reasonably believed to be in (or not opposed to) the best interests of the corporation and, in the case of a criminal action, such person must have had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. In addition, the DGCL does not
permit indemnification in an action or suit by or in the right of the corporation, where such person has been adjudged liable to the corporation, unless, and only to the extent that, a court determines that such person fairly and reasonably is
entitled to indemnity for costs the court deems proper in light of liability adjudication. Indemnity is mandatory to the extent a claim, issue or matter has been successfully defended.
Article Ten of Danaher's Certificate of Incorporation provides that Danaher will indemnify its directors
and officers to the full extent permitted by law and that no director shall be liable for monetary damages to Danaher or its stockholders for any breach of fiduciary duty, except to the extent provided by applicable law (i) for any breach of the
director's duty of loyalty to Danaher or its stockholders, (ii) for acts
or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law,
(iii) pursuant to Section 174 of the DGCL, or (iv) for any transaction from which such director derived an improper personal benefit. Article Eight of Danaher's By-laws provides that Danaher will indemnify directors, officers, employees or
agents of Danaher in non-derivative claims if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of Danaher, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no
reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. For non-derivative claims, termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, in itself,
create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which such person believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of Danaher, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to
believe that such person's conducts was unlawful. For derivative claims, Article Eight of Danaher's By-laws provides that Danaher will indemnify directors, officers, employees or agents of Danaher if such person acted in good faith and in
a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of Danaher; except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to
Danaher unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case,
such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.
Danaher has in effect insurance policies for general officers' and directors' liability insurance covering all of Danaher's
officers and directors.

UNDERTAKINGS
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(a)
To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i)
To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
(ii)
To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof)
which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this registration statement;
(iii)
To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such
information in the registration statement;
provided
,
however
, that paragraphs (a)(i) and (a)(ii) of this Item 9 do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by
the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in this registration statement.
(b)
That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c)
To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(d)
That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or
Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15 (d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the
Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(e)
That, insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant
pursuant to Item 16 above, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the
event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a
court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933,
