Purpose of this Training

Your Integrity/Our Success

3

Part I

Anti-Bribery Laws

Danaher’s Standards of Conduct

Danaher’s Supplier Code of Conduct

Your Contract

4

> Anti-bribery laws and treaties are now common in every part of the world.

> Many of these laws focus on bribes to government officials, like the US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (the “FCPA”), but you must avoid all corrupt payments, even to non-government, commercial parties.

> This training will focus on the FCPA, because it is actively enforced and has severe penalties, but you are expected to comply with all laws that apply in the places where you do business.

> You are also required to comply with Danaher’s Standards of Conduct, Danaher’s Supplier Code of Conduct and any integrity and compliance provisions of your contract.

Many Laws, One Purpose

Anti-Bribery Laws Are Global

5

> Danaher’s Standards of Conduct and Supplier Code of Conduct identify the standards of conduct and honest business practices which must be followed by all DHR Contractors, including standards relating to how you pursue business opportunities that may benefit Danaher companies.

> DHR Contractors are required to represent Danaher companies consistent with Danaher’s commitment to integrity and anti-corruption described in the DHR Standards of Conduct.

> Even in situations where you may believe that no anti-corruption law applies, the DHR Standards of Conduct apply and must be carefully followed.

DHR Standards Also Apply

Corrupt Payments Are Never Acceptable

6

> The FCPA prohibits anyone with a connection to a US business from: – corruptly– offering, paying, giving, promising to pay or authorizing the

payment of,– directly or indirectly through another– anything of value – to any non-US government official or any non-US political party,

official or candidate – in order to obtain, retain or direct business.

> The DHR Standards extend this prohibition to cover payments to non-government persons and parties.

FCPA Specifics

No Payments to Government or Private Parties for Business

7

> A “promise to pay” can be found even where no actual payment was made or where the person promising is unable to make the payment.

> “Anything of value” does not mean only money. It might mean an interest in another venture, a future job offer, a political contribution, a gift (no matter how small), or a benefit to a friend or relative.

> “To any foreign official” includes any government official, political party or candidate, any conduit to a government official, political party or candidate, and any employee of a government owned company.

> Under the DHR Standards, these prohibitions apply to non-government parties as well as government parties.

FCPA Specifics, cont.

Anything of Value to Influence Any Business Outcome

8

> Violating the FCPA can cause the following serious consequences:– Immediate termination of your relationship with DHR;– Significant fines:

2009 – Kellogg Brown & Root, Inc. fined $402 million for bribery in Nigeria;

2008 - Siemens AG fined $450 million for bribery in Argentina, China, Russia, Venezuela, Vietnam, others;

2008 – Willbros Group, Inc. fined $22 million for bribery in

Bolivia, Ecuador and Nigeria; – Imprisonment for up to five years; and– Loss of US gov’t. contracts and US export privileges.

FCPA Violations Are High Risk

Severe Consequences Leave No Room for Violations

9

> The DHR Standards do allow you to provide or reimburse travel and living expenses directly related to promotion of products or the execution of a contract, if:– Local law, your own company policies and the recipient’s

company/government policies allow you to provide or reimburse these items;

– All reimbursed expenses were actually incurred and supported by detailed and accurate receipts prior to reimbursement;

– The travel and living provided or reimbursed is reasonable (non-luxury); and

– Each item provided or reimbursed is directly related to the promotion of products or services to the recipient’s company/government, or the execution of a contract by the recipient’s company/government.

Legitimate Expenses-All Parties-Product Promotion/Contracts

Actual and Reasonable Expenses – No Unrelated Expenses

10

> The DHR Standards do allow you to provide potential customers unrelated to the government with non-cash gifts, including meals and entertainment, if:– The gift/entertainment is of nominal value;– The gift/entertainment is customary in your trade or

industry;– The gift/entertainment is legal under local laws; and – The gift/entertainment is given and accepted without

any express or implied understanding that the recipient is in any way obligated.

Legitimate Expenses- Non Government Only-Gifts/Entertainment

Nominal Value – Not Cash – No Obligation

11

>All information provided to a Danaher company in support of any request for payment (commission, expense reimbursement, etc.) must be factually accurate.

>All contractual requirements regarding receipts and recordkeeping must be strictly followed.

Accurate Records

No Fake Receipts/False Purposes

12

> Be aware of and adhere to the Danaher Standards of Conduct discussed in this training, the specific requirements of your contract, and all anti-corruption laws in the areas where you operate, including the FCPA.

> Keep in mind the severity of the personal and corporate consequences associated with violating the FCPA and similar laws and devote sufficient attention to compliance.

> When you are faced with a close call, we invite you to speak with your Danaher contacts. Where necessary, they will direct your questions to the legal team at Danaher.

Part III

Sample Cases

22

Sample Cases

Case A

> A non-US government official requests a visit to the US to meet with the technical experts on a new product being launched by a Danaher company. The official asks a DHR Contractor to arrange the trip, including a side-visit to Disneyland in Los Angeles for his family while he is in Chicago. He suggests he will provide receipts for reimbursement, but that he would also like walking-around money for his children.

> Can the DHR Contractor agree to this request?

Case A:

23

Sample Cases, cont

Case A

> The FCPA and the DHR Standards allow reimbursement of reasonable and bona fide expenditures incurred by a customer and directly related to the promotion of products.

> Expenses for spouses/children are not considered directly related to product promotion and are prohibited.

> Recreational side trips are not permitted either, even for the person to whom products are being promoted.

> Cash advances like “walking around money” are not supported by receipts which creates the appearance of impropriety and does not meet the record keeping requirements of the FCPA or the DHR Standards.

Case A Response: NO

24

Sample Cases, cont

Case B

>You would like to give a relatively inexpensive watch to the wife of a foreign official who is involved in evaluation of a Danaher product. Since this is a token gift, customary in your country, is this allowed?

Case B:

25

Sample Cases, cont

Case B

>Because the gift is being given to a family member of a government official, it is prohibited by both the FCPA and the DHR Standards.

>Remember, customary gifts of nominal value may be given to non-government-related persons if the recipient will not feel obligated.

>This is not a product promotion case because the gift is not a travel or living expense provided to the official evaluating the product.

Case B Response: NO

26

Sample Cases, cont

Case C

> You want to suggest to a government official that he should select the Danaher product you can provide. Because you know that local law prohibits the payment of bribes, your intent is simply to write a letter explaining the wisdom of this choice. In your letter, you state that you will make it worth his while if he selects the Danaher product.

> Is it ok to send this letter?

Case C:

27

Case C

>Sending this letter would violate the FCPA and the DHR Standards because it suggests to the government official that ‘you will make it worth his while’ to select your product.

>This letter is a ‘promise to pay’ to this ‘government official’ ‘something of value’ even if you do not have any particular payment in mind at the time you send the letter.

>This case is a good example of why you need to take care in all communications with government officials regarding business opportunities – a poorly chosen phrase can lead to serious consequences.

Case C Response: NO
