| Annual cash retainer | $ | 125,000 | ||||||

Director cash retainers are paid quarterly in arrears. Director annual equity awards are divided equally (based on target award value) between options and restricted stock units (RSUs). The options are fully vested as of the grant date. The RSUs vest upon the earlier of (1) the first anniversary of the grant date, or (2) the date of, and immediately prior to, the next annual meeting of Danaher’s shareholders following the grant date, but the underlying shares are not issued until the earlier of the director’s death or the first day of the seventh month following the director’s retirement from the Board. Danaher also reimburses directors for Danaher-related out-of-pocket expenses, including travel expenses.
