TAX MATTERS AGREEMENT

This TAX MATTERS AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), is entered into as of October 8, 2020 between Fortive Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Fortive”), and Vontier Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Vontier” and, together with Fortive, the “Parties”). Capitalized terms used in this Agreement and not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Separation and Distribution Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, between the Parties (the “Separation Agreement”).

R E C I T A L S

WHEREAS, the board of directors of Fortive has determined that it is appropriate, desirable and in the best interests of Fortive and its stockholders to separate Fortive’s industrial technologies segment from its other businesses, creating Vontier as a new subsidiary company to which Fortive will transfer, directly or indirectly, the assets and liability of its industrial technologies segment (the “Separation”) and, following the Separation, to undertake the Distribution;

WHEREAS, Vontier has been incorporated for these purposes and has not engaged in activities except those incidental to its formation and in preparation for the Distribution;

WHEREAS, Fortive will effect certain restructuring transactions described in the Separation Plan for the purpose of aggregating the industrial technologies segment in the Vontier Group prior to the Distribution (collectively, the “Reorganization”) and in connection therewith, undertake the Contribution to Vontier which, in exchange therefor, Vontier shall (i) issue to Fortive shares of Vontier Common Stock and (ii) pay to Fortive the Vontier Contribution Payment;

WHEREAS, following the Distribution, Fortive may retain up to 19.9% of the outstanding Vontier Common Stock (the “Retained Stock”) and distribute such Retained Stock to Fortive stockholders as dividends or in exchange for outstanding shares of Fortive common stock (any such distribution, a “Subsequent Distribution”) or transfer such Retained Stock to Fortive creditors in satisfaction of certain Fortive debt (any such transfer, a “Debt-for-Equity Exchange”) within 12 months of the Distribution;

WHEREAS, Fortive intends to effect the Distribution in a transaction, that, taken together with the Contribution, any Subsequent Distribution and any Debt-for-Equity Exchange, is intended to qualify as tax-free for U.S. federal income tax purposes under Sections 368(a)(1)(D), 355 and 361(c) of the Code;

WHEREAS, certain members of the Fortive Group, on the one hand, and certain members of the Vontier Group, on the other hand, file certain Tax Returns on a consolidated, combined or unitary basis for certain federal, state, local and foreign Tax purposes; and

WHEREAS, the Parties desire to (a) provide for the payment of Tax liabilities and entitlement to refunds thereof, allocate responsibility for, and cooperation in, the filing of Tax Returns, and provide for certain other matters relating to Taxes and (b) set forth certain covenants and indemnities relating to the preservation of the tax-free status of the Transactions.

PREPARATION AND FILING OF TAX RETURNS

-11-

Vontier shall prepare and file when due (taking into account any applicable extensions), or shall cause to be prepared and filed, all Tax Returns, including any amended Tax Returns, required to be filed by or with respect to members of the Vontier Group other than those Tax Returns which Fortive is required to prepare and file under Section 3.1.

To the extent that the positions taken on any Tax Return would reasonably be expected to materially adversely affect the Tax position of the Party other than the Party that is required to prepare and file any such Tax Return pursuant to Section 3.1 or 3.2 (the “Reviewing Party”), the Party required to prepare and file such Tax Return (the “Preparing Party”) shall prepare the portions of such Tax Return that relates to the business of the Reviewing Party (the Fortive Retained Business or the Vontier Business, as the case may be), shall provide a draft of such portion of such Tax Return to the Reviewing Party for its review and comment at least thirty (30) days prior to the due date for such Tax Return, and shall modify such portion of such Tax Return before filing to include the Reviewing Party’s reasonable comments.

3.4 Cooperation.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Fortive shall not be required to disclose to Vontier any consolidated, combined, unitary, or other similar Joint Return of which a member of the Fortive Group is the common parent or any information related to such a Joint Return other than information relating solely to the Vontier Group; provided, that Fortive shall provide such additional information that is reasonably required in order for Vontier to determine the Taxes attributable to the Vontier Business. If an amended Separate Return for State Taxes for which Vontier is responsible under this Article III is required to be filed as a result of an amendment made to a Joint Return for Federal Income Tax pursuant to an audit adjustment, then the Parties shall cooperate to ensure that such amended Separate Return can be prepared and filed in a manner that preserves confidential information including through the use of third party preparers.

3.5 Tax Reporting Practices. Except as provided in Section 3.6, with respect to any Tax Return for any taxable period that begins on or before the second anniversary of the Distribution Date with respect to which Vontier is the Responsible Party, such Tax Return shall be prepared in a manner (i) consistent with past practices, accounting methods, elections and conventions (“Past Practices”) used with respect to the Tax Returns in question (unless there is no Reasonable Basis for the use of such Past Practices), and to the extent any items are not covered by Past Practices (or in the event that there is no Reasonable Basis for the use of such Past Practices), in accordance with reasonable Tax accounting practices selected by Vontier; and (ii) that, to the extent consistent with clause (i), minimizes the overall amount of Taxes due and payable on such Tax Return for all of the Parties by cooperating in making such elections or applications for group or other relief or allowances available in the taxing jurisdiction in which such Tax Return is filed. Vontier shall not take any action inconsistent with the assumptions

-12-

made (including with respect to any Tax Item) in determining all estimated or advance payments of Taxes on or prior to the Distribution Date. In addition, Vontier shall not be permitted, and shall not permit any member of the Vontier Group, without Fortive’s prior written consent, to make a change in any of its methods of accounting for Tax purposes until all applicable statutes of limitations for all Pre-Distribution Periods have expired.

3.6 Reporting of Separation. The Tax treatment of any step in or portion of the Transactions shall be reported on each applicable Tax Return consistently with the Tax-Free Status of the Transactions, taking into account the jurisdiction in which such Tax Returns are filed, unless there is no Reasonable Basis for such Tax treatment. In the event that a Party shall determine that there is no Reasonable Basis for such Tax treatment, such Party shall notify the other Party no later than twenty (20) Business Days prior to filing the relevant Tax Return and the Parties shall attempt in good faith to agree on the manner in which the relevant portion of the Transactions shall be reported. If Fortive determines, in its sole discretion, that a protective election under Section 336(e) of the Code shall be made with respect to the Distribution, Vontier agrees to take any such action that is necessary to effect such election, including any corresponding election with respect to any of its Subsidiaries, as determined by Fortive. If such a protective election is made, this Agreement shall be amended in such a manner as is determined by Fortive in its good faith discretion to compensate Fortive for any Tax benefits realized by Vontier as a result of such election.

(a) With respect to any Tax Return required to be filed pursuant to this Agreement, the Responsible Party shall remit or cause to be remitted to the applicable Taxing Authority in a timely manner any Taxes due in respect of any such Tax Return.

(b) In the case of any Tax Return for which the Party that is not the Responsible Party is obligated pursuant to this Agreement to pay all or a portion of the Taxes reported as due on such Tax Return, the Responsible Party shall notify the other Party, in writing, of its obligation to pay such Taxes and, in reasonably sufficient detail, its calculation of the amount due by such other Party and the Party receiving such notice shall pay such amount to the Responsible Party upon the later of five (5) Business Days prior to the date on which such payment is due and fifteen (15) Business Days after the receipt of such notice.

3.8 Amended Returns and Carrybacks.

(a) Vontier shall not, and shall not permit any member of the Vontier Group to, file or allow to be filed any request for an Adjustment for any Pre-Distribution Period without the prior written consent of Fortive, such consent to be exercised in Fortive’s sole discretion.

(b) Vontier shall, and shall cause each member of the Vontier Group to, make any available elections to waive the right to carry back any Tax Attribute from a Post-Distribution Period to a Pre-Distribution Period.

(c) Vontier shall not, and shall cause each member of the Vontier Group not to, without the prior written consent of Fortive, make any affirmative election to carry back any Tax Attribute from a Post-Distribution Period to a Pre-Distribution Period, such consent to be exercised in Fortive’s sole discretion.

(a) Fortive, on behalf of itself and all other members of the Fortive Group, hereby represents and warrants that (i) it has examined the IRS Ruling Request, the Tax Opinion, the Tax Certificates and any other materials delivered or deliverable in connection with the issuance of any IRS Ruling and the rendering of the Tax Opinion, in each case, as they exist as of the date hereof (collectively, the “Tax Materials”) and (ii) the facts presented and representations made therein, to the extent descriptive of or otherwise relating to Fortive or any member of the Fortive Group or the Fortive Retained Business, were, at the time presented or represented and from such time until and including the Distribution Date, true, correct, and complete in all material respects.

-14-

(b) Vontier, on behalf of itself and all other members of the Vontier Group, hereby represents and warrants that (i) it has examined the Tax Materials and (ii) the facts presented and representations made therein, to the extent descriptive of or otherwise relating to Vontier or any member of the Vontier Group or the Vontier Business, were or will be, at the time presented or represented and from such time until and including the Distribution Date, true, correct, and complete in all material respects. Vontier, on behalf of itself and all other members of the Vontier Group, hereby confirms and agrees to comply with any and all covenants and agreements in the Tax Materials applicable to Vontier or any member of the Vontier Group or the Vontier Business.

(c) Each of Fortive, on behalf of itself and all other members of the Fortive Group, and Vontier, on behalf of itself and all other members of the Vontier Group, represents and warrants that it knows of no fact (after due inquiry) that may cause the Tax treatment of the Transactions to be other than the Tax-Free Status of the Transactions.

(d) Each of Fortive, on behalf of itself and all other members of the Fortive Group, and Vontier, on behalf of itself and all other members of the Vontier Group represents and warrants that it has no plan or intent to take any action which is inconsistent with any statements or representations made in the Tax Materials.

4.2 Restrictions Relating to the Distribution.

(a) Vontier, on behalf of itself and all other members of the Vontier Group, hereby covenants and agrees that no member of the Vontier Group will take, fail to take, or permit to be taken: (i) any action where such action or failure to act would be inconsistent with or cause to be untrue any statement, information, covenant or representation in the Tax Materials or (ii) any action which constitutes a Vontier Disqualifying Action.

(b) During the Restricted Period, Vontier:

(i) shall continue and cause to be continued the active conduct of the Vontier Business for purposes of Section 355(b)(2) of the Code, taking into account Section 355(b)(3) of the Code, as conducted immediately prior to the Distribution,

(ii) shall not voluntarily dissolve or liquidate itself or any of its Affiliates (including any action that is a liquidation for U.S. federal income tax purposes),

(iii) shall not (1) enter into any Proposed Acquisition Transaction or, to the extent Vontier has the right to prohibit any Proposed Acquisition Transaction, permit any Proposed Acquisition Transaction to occur, (2) redeem or otherwise repurchase (directly or through an Affiliate) any stock, or rights to acquire stock except to the extent such repurchases satisfy Section 4.05(1)(b) of Revenue Procedure 96-30 (as in effect prior to the amendment of such Revenue Procedure by Revenue Procedure 2003-48), (3) amend its certificate of incorporation (or other organizational documents), or take any other action, whether through a stockholder vote or otherwise, affecting the relative

-15-

voting rights of its capital stock (including through the conversion of any capital stock into another class of capital stock), (4) merge or consolidate with any other Person or (5) take any other action or actions (including any action or transaction that would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with any representation made in the Tax Materials) which in the aggregate would, when combined with any other direct or indirect changes in ownership of Vontier capital stock pertinent for purposes of Section 355(e) of the Code, have the effect of causing or permitting one or more Persons (whether or not acting in concert) to acquire directly or indirectly stock representing a fifty percent (50%) or greater interest in Vontier or would reasonably be expected to result in a failure to preserve the Tax-Free Status of the Transactions; and

(iv) shall not and shall not permit any member of the Vontier Group, to sell, transfer, or otherwise dispose of or agree to, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose (including in any transaction treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a sale, transfer or disposition) of assets (including, any shares of capital stock of a Subsidiary) that, in the aggregate, constitute more than twenty (20%) of the consolidated gross assets of Vontier or the Vontier Group. The foregoing sentence shall not apply to (1) sales, transfers, or dispositions of assets in the ordinary course of business, (2) any cash paid to acquire assets from an unrelated Person in an arm’s-length transaction, (3) any assets transferred to a Person that is disregarded as an entity separate from the transferor for U.S. federal income tax purposes or (4) any mandatory or optional repayment (or pre-payment) of any indebtedness of Vontier or any member of the Vontier Group. The percentages of gross assets or consolidated gross assets of Vontier or the Vontier Group, as the case may be, sold, transferred, or otherwise disposed of, shall be based on the fair market value of the gross assets of Vontier and the members of the Vontier Group as of the Distribution Date. For purposes of this Section 4.2(b)(iv), a merger of Vontier or one of its Subsidiaries with and into any Person that is not a wholly owned Subsidiary of Vontier shall constitute a disposition of all of the assets of Vontier or such Subsidiary.

(c) Notwithstanding the restrictions imposed by Section 4.2(a) and (b), Vontier or a member of the Vontier Group may take any of the actions or transactions described therein if Vontier either (i) obtains an Unqualified Tax Opinion in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Fortive or (ii) obtains the prior written consent of Fortive waiving the requirement that Vontier obtain an Unqualified Tax Opinion, such waiver to be provided in Fortive’s sole and absolute discretion. Fortive’s evaluation of an Unqualified Tax Opinion may consider, among other factors, the appropriateness of any underlying assumptions, representations, and covenants made in connection with such opinion. Vontier shall bear all costs and expenses of securing any such Unqualified Tax Opinion and shall reimburse Fortive for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses that Fortive or any of its Affiliates may incur in good faith in seeking to obtain or evaluate any such Unqualified Tax Opinion. Neither the delivery of an Unqualified Tax Opinion nor Fortive’s waiver of Vontier’s obligation to deliver an Unqualified Tax Opinion shall limit or modify Vontier’s continuing indemnification obligation pursuant to Article V.

ARTICLE V

INDEMNITY OBLIGATIONS

5.1 Indemnity Obligations.

(a) Fortive shall indemnify and hold harmless Vontier from and against, and will reimburse Vontier for, (i) all liability for Taxes allocated to Fortive pursuant to Article II, (ii) all Taxes and Tax-Related Losses arising out of, based upon, or relating or attributable to any breach of or inaccuracy in, or failure to perform, as applicable, any representation, covenant, or obligation of any member of the Fortive Group pursuant to this Agreement and (iii) the amount of any Refund received by any member of the Fortive Group that is allocated to Vontier pursuant to Section 2.10(a).

(b) Without regard to whether an Unqualified Tax Opinion may have been provided or whether any action is permitted or consented to hereunder and notwithstanding anything else to the contrary contained herein, Vontier shall indemnify and hold harmless Fortive from and against, and will reimburse Fortive for, (i) all liability for Taxes allocated to Vontier pursuant to Article II, (ii) all Taxes and Tax-Related Losses arising out of, based upon, or relating or attributable to any breach of or inaccuracy in, or failure to perform, as applicable, any representation, covenant, or obligation of any member of the Vontier Group pursuant to this Agreement, (iii) the amount of any Refund received by any member of the Vontier Group that is allocated to Fortive pursuant to Section 2.10(a), (iv) any Distribution Taxes and Tax-Related Losses attributable to a Vontier Disqualifying Action (regardless of whether the conditions set forth in Section 4.2(c) are satisfied) and (v) any Taxes incurred by one or more members of the Fortive Group arising from or attributable to the disallowance of losses generated by one or more members of the Vontier Group in respect of which one or more members of the Fortive Group has made a claim to group relief.

(c) To the extent that any Tax or Tax-Related Loss is subject to indemnity pursuant to both Sections 5.1(a) and 5.1(b), responsibility for such Tax or Tax-Related Loss shall be shared by Fortive and Vontier according to relative fault as determined by Fortive in its good faith discretion.

5.2 Indemnification Payments.

(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, if either Party (the “Indemnitee”) is required to pay to a Taxing Authority a Tax or to another Person a payment in respect of a Tax that the other Party (the “Indemnifying Party”) is liable for under this Agreement, including as the result of a Final Determination, the Indemnitee shall notify the Indemnifying Party, in writing, of its obligation to pay such Tax and, in reasonably sufficient detail, its calculation of the amount due by such Indemnifying Party to the Indemnitee, including any Tax-Related Losses attributable thereto. The Indemnifying Party shall pay such amount, including any Tax-Related Losses attributable thereto, to the Indemnitee no later than the later of (i) five (5) Business Days prior to the date on which such payment is due to the applicable Taxing Authority or (ii) fifteen (15) Business Days after the receipt of notice from the other Party.

-17-

(b) If, as a result of any change or redetermination, any amount previously allocated to and borne by one Party pursuant to the provisions of Article II is thereafter allocated to the other Party, then, no later than five (5) Business Days after such change or redetermination, such other Party shall pay to such Party the amount previously borne by such Party which is allocated to such other Party as a result of such change or redetermination.

5.3 Payment Mechanics.

(a) All payments under this Agreement shall be made by Fortive directly to Vontier and by Vontier directly to Fortive; provided, however, that if the Parties mutually agree with respect to any such indemnification payment, any member of the Fortive Group, on the one hand, may make such indemnification payment to any member of the Vontier Group, on the other hand, and vice versa. All indemnification payments shall be treated in the manner described in Section 5.4.

(b) In the case of any payment of Taxes made by a Responsible Party or Indemnitee pursuant to this Agreement for which such Responsible Party or Indemnitee, as the case may be, has received a payment from the other Party, such Responsible Party or Indemnitee shall provide to the other Party a copy of any official government receipt received with respect to the payment of such Taxes to the applicable Taxing Authority (or, if no such official governmental receipts are available, executed bank payment forms or other reasonable evidence of payment).

5.4 Treatment of Payments. The Parties agree that any payment made among the Parties pursuant to this Agreement shall be treated, to the extent permitted by Law, for all U.S. federal income tax purposes as either (i) a non-taxable contribution by Fortive to Vontier or (ii) a distribution by Vontier to Fortive, and, with respect to any payment made among the Parties pursuant to this Agreement after the Distribution, such payment shall be treated as having been made immediately prior to the Distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Fortive shall notify Vontier if it determines that any payment made pursuant to this Agreement is to be treated, for any Tax purposes, as a payment made by one Party acting as an agent of one of such Party’s Subsidiaries to the other Party acting as an agent of one of such other Party’s Subsidiaries, and the Parties agree to treat any such payment accordingly.

ARTICLE VI

TAX CONTESTS

6.1 Notice. Each Party shall notify the other Party in writing within ten (10) days after receipt by such Party or any member of its Group of a written communication from any Taxing Authority with respect to any pending or threatened audit, claim, dispute, suit, action, proposed assessment or other proceeding (a “Tax Contest”) concerning any Taxes for which the other Party may be liable pursuant to this Agreement, and thereafter shall promptly forward or make available to such Party copies of notices and communications relating to such Tax Contest.

-18-

6.2 Separate Returns. In the case of any Tax Contest with respect to any Separate Return, the Party having the liability for the Tax pursuant to Article II hereof shall have the sole responsibility and right to control the prosecution of such Tax Contest, including the exclusive right to communicate with agents of the applicable Taxing Authority and to control, resolve, settle, or agree to any deficiency, claim or adjustment proposed, asserted or assessed in connection with or as a result of such Tax Contest.

6.3 Joint Return. In the case of any Tax Contest with respect to any Joint Return, Fortive shall have the sole responsibility and right to control the prosecution of such Tax Contest, including the exclusive right to communicate with agents of the applicable Taxing Authority and to control, resolve, settle or agree to any deficiency, claim or adjustment proposed, asserted, or assessed in connection with or as a result of such Tax Contest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent a portion of any such Tax Contest with respect to a Joint Return with respect to Foreign Taxes relates to a matter which was customarily controlled by a member of the Vontier Group, as determined by Fortive in its sole discretion, then Fortive may elect that Vontier shall be responsible for conduct of such portion of such Tax Contest and any expenses related thereto, including expenses relating to supporting transfer pricing analysis.

6.4 Obligation of Continued Notice. During the pendency of any Tax Contest or threatened Tax Contest, each of the Parties shall provide prompt notice to the other Party of any written communication received by it or a member of its respective Group from a Taxing Authority regarding any Tax Contest for which it is indemnified by the other Party hereunder or for which it may be required to indemnify the other Party hereunder. Such notice shall attach copies of the pertinent portion of any written communication from a Taxing Authority and contain factual information (to the extent known) describing any asserted Tax liability in reasonable detail and shall be accompanied by copies of any notice and other documents received from any Taxing Authority in respect of any such matters. Such notice shall be provided in a reasonably timely fashion; provided, however, that in the event that timely notice is not provided, a Party shall be relieved of its obligation to indemnify the other Party only to the extent that such delay results in actual increased costs or actual prejudice to such other Party.

6.5 Settlement Rights. Unless waived by the Parties in writing, in connection with any potential adjustment in a Tax Contest as a result of which adjustment the Non-Controlling Party may reasonably be expected to become liable to make any indemnification payment to the Controlling Party under this Agreement: (i) the Controlling Party shall keep the Non-Controlling Party informed in a timely manner of all actions taken or proposed to be taken by the Controlling Party with respect to such potential adjustment in such Tax Contest; (ii) the Controlling Party shall timely provide the Non-Controlling Party with copies of any correspondence or filings submitted to any Tax Authority or judicial authority in connection with such potential adjustment in such Tax Contest; and (iii) the Controlling Party shall defend such Tax Contest diligently and in good faith. The failure of the Controlling Party to take any action specified in the preceding sentence with respect to the Non-Controlling Party shall not relieve the Non-Controlling Party of any liability and/or obligation which it may have to the Controlling Party under this Agreement, and in no event shall such failure relieve the Non-Controlling Party from any other liability or obligation which it may have to the Controlling Party.

7.2 Consistent Treatment. Unless and until there has been a Final Determination to the contrary, each Party agrees not to take any position on any Tax Return, in connection with any Tax Contest or otherwise that is inconsistent with (a) the treatment of payments between the Fortive Group and the Vontier Group as set forth in Section 5.4, (b) the Tax Materials or (c) the Tax-Free Status of the Transactions.
