Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On April 29, 2026, Danaher Corporation (“Danaher”) issued €500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Floating Rate Senior Notes due 2028 (the “Floating Rate Notes”), €750,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 3.250% Senior Notes due 2030 (the “2030 Notes”), €750,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 3.625% Senior Notes due 2034 (the “2034 Notes”) and €1,000,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 4.000% Senior Notes due 2038 (the “2038 Notes” and, together with the 2030 Notes and the 2034 Notes, the “Fixed Rate Notes” and the Fixed Rate Notes, together with the Floating Rate Notes, the “Notes”), in an underwritten offering pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-278426) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on April 1, 2024 (the “Registration Statement”) and a preliminary prospectus supplement and prospectus supplement filed with the Commission related to the offering of the Notes.

The Notes were issued under that certain indenture, dated December 11, 2007 (as amended to date, the “Base Indenture”), between Danaher and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee (formerly known as The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A.) (the “Trustee”), and that certain sixth supplemental indenture dated April 29, 2026 (the “Sixth Supplemental Indenture” and together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”) between Danaher and the Trustee.

The Floating Rate Notes will mature on April 29, 2028, the 2030 Notes will mature on April 29, 2030, the 2034 Notes will mature on April 29, 2034 and the 2038 Notes will mature on April 29, 2038. Interest on the Floating Rate Notes will be paid quarterly in arrears on January 29, April 29, July 29 and October 29 of each year, beginning on July 29, 2026. Interest on the 2030 Notes, the 2034 Notes and the 2038 Notes will be paid annually in arrears on April 29 of each year, commencing on April 29, 2027.

At any time prior to March 29, 2030 (one month prior to the maturity date of the 2030 Notes), in the case of the 2030 Notes, January 29, 2034 (three months prior to the maturity date of the 2034 Notes), in the case of the 2034 Notes, or January 29, 2038 (three months prior to the maturity date of the 2038 Notes), in the case of the 2038 Notes (each such date, a “Par Call Date”), Danaher will have the right, at its option, to redeem any series of the Fixed Rate Notes, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (1) 100% of the principal amount of the Fixed Rate Notes to be redeemed and (2) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest in respect of such Fixed Rate Notes to be redeemed (not including any portion of the payments of interest accrued and unpaid to and including the date of redemption), discounted to the date of redemption on an annual basis (ACTUAL/ACTUAL (ICMA)) at the applicable Comparable Government Bond Rate (as defined in the Indenture), plus 10 basis points, in the case of the 2030 Notes, 15 basis points, in the case of the 2034 Notes, and 15 basis points, in the case of the 2038 Notes, plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest on the Fixed Rate Notes being redeemed, if any, to, but excluding, the date of redemption.

In addition, on or after the applicable Par Call Date, Danaher will have the right, at its option, to redeem each series of the Fixed Rate Notes, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Fixed Rate Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the date of redemption.

If (1) Danaher does not consummate the proposed acquisition of Masimo Corporation (the “Masimo Acquisition”) on or prior to November 16, 2026 (or such later date to which the Agreement and Plan of Merger setting forth the terms of the Masimo Acquisition as in effect on April 29, 2026 (the “Merger Agreement”) may be extended in accordance with its terms), (2) the Merger Agreement is terminated prior to that date, or (3) Danaher otherwise notifies the Trustee that it will not pursue the consummation of the Masimo Acquisition, Danaher will be required to redeem, in whole and not in part, each series of the Fixed Rate Notes on the special mandatory redemption date (as such term is defined in the Indenture) at a redemption price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the Fixed Rate Notes outstanding, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the special mandatory redemption date.

Upon the occurrence of a change of control triggering event (as such term is defined in the Indenture) with respect to the Notes, each holder of the Notes may require Danaher to repurchase some or all of its Notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the Notes being repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any.

The Notes are general unsecured indebtedness of Danaher. The Notes rank equally in right of payment with all of Danaher’s other existing and future unsecured senior indebtedness and will rank senior to any subordinated indebtedness that Danaher may incur.

The Indenture contains certain covenants that limit the ability of Danaher to, among other things, (i) incur certain debt secured by liens, (ii) engage in sale and leaseback transactions and (iii) consolidate, merge or sell or otherwise transfer all or substantially all its assets.

Upon the occurrence of an event of default with respect to the Notes, which includes payment defaults, defaults in the performance of certain covenants, and bankruptcy and insolvency-related defaults, Danaher’s obligations under the Notes may be accelerated, in which case the entire principal amount of the Notes would be immediately due and payable.

The above description of the Base Indenture and the Sixth Supplemental Indenture is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Base Indenture and the Sixth Supplemental Indenture. The Base Indenture is filed as Exhibit 4.1 and the Sixth Supplemental Indenture is filed as Exhibit 4.2 hereto. Each of the foregoing documents is incorporated herein and into the Registration Statement by reference.

In connection with the offering of the Notes, Danaher is filing as Exhibit 5.1 hereto an opinion of counsel addressing the validity of the Notes and certain related matters. Such opinion is incorporated by reference into the Registration Statement.

LLC and the other underwriters party thereto.

Danaher received net proceeds of approximately €2.98 billion, after deducting the underwriting discounts and estimated offering expenses payable by Danaher. Danaher intends to use the net proceeds from the sale of the Notes to pay a portion of the cash consideration payable for, and certain costs associated with, the Masimo Acquisition. Danaher may also use a portion of the net proceeds from the sale of the Notes for general corporate purposes, which may include, without limitation and in Danaher’s sole discretion, refinancing of outstanding indebtedness, working capital, capital expenditures and satisfaction of other obligations.

The Company has filed with the Securities and Exchange

1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”). Such registration statement covers the registration of the Securities under the 1933 Act. Promptly after execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Company will prepare and file a

prospectus in accordance with the provisions of Rule 430B (“Rule 430B”) of the 1933 Act Regulations and paragraph (b) of Rule 424 (“Rule 424(b)”) of the 1933 Act Regulations. Any information

preliminary prospectus, the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement to any of the foregoing shall be deemed to include the copy filed with the Commission pursuant to its Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval system

(“EDGAR”).

All references in this Agreement to financial statements and schedules and other information which

is “contained,” “included” or “stated” in the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus (or other references of like import) shall be deemed to mean and include all such financial

statements and schedules and other information which is incorporated by reference in or otherwise deemed by the 1933 Act Regulations to be a part of or included in the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus, as the case

Statement, any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus shall be deemed to mean and include the filing of any document under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934

Act”) which is incorporated by reference in or otherwise deemed by the 1933 Act Regulations to be a part of or included in the Registration Statement, such preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus, as the case may be.

SECTION 1. Representations and Warranties.

(a) Representations and Warranties by the Company. The Company represents and warrants to each Underwriter as of the Applicable Time

referred to in Section 1(a)(ii) hereof and as of the Closing Time referred to in Section 2(b) hereof, and agrees with each Underwriter, as follows:

(i) Status as a Well-Known Seasoned Issuer. (A) At the time of filing the Original Registration Statement, (B) at the time

of the most recent amendment thereto for the purposes of complying with Section 10(a)(3) of the 1933 Act (whether such amendment was by post-effective amendment, incorporated report filed pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the 1934 Act or

form of prospectus), (C) at the time the Company or any person acting on its behalf (within the meaning, for this clause only, of Rule 163(c) of the 1933 Act Regulations) made any offer relating to the Securities in reliance on the exemption of

Rule 163 of the 1933 Act Regulations (“Rule 163”), and (D) as of the Applicable Time (as defined below), the Company was a “well-known seasoned issuer” as defined in Rule 405 of the 1933 Act Regulations

(“Rule 405”), including not having been an “ineligible issuer” as defined in Rule 405. The Registration Statement is an “automatic shelf registration statement,” as defined in Rule 405, and the

Securities, since their registration on the Registration Statement, have been and remain eligible for registration by the Company on a Rule 405 “automatic shelf registration statement”. The Company has not received from the Commission

any notice pursuant to Rule 401(g)(2) of the 1933 Act Regulations objecting to the use of the automatic shelf registration statement form.

At the time of filing the Original Registration Statement, at the earliest time thereafter that the Company or another offering participant

made a bona fide offer (within the meaning of Rule 164(h)(2) of the 1933 Act Regulations) of the Securities and at the date hereof, the Company was not and is not an “ineligible issuer,” as defined in Rule 405.

(ii) Registration Statement, Prospectus and Disclosure at Time of Sale. The Original Registration Statement became effective upon

filing under Rule 462(e) of the 1933 Act Regulations (“Rule 462(e)”) on April 1, 2024, and any post-effective amendment thereto also became effective upon filing under Rule 462(e). No stop order suspending the

effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been issued under the 1933 Act and no proceedings for that purpose have been instituted or are pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, are contemplated by the Commission, and any request on the

part of the Commission for additional information has been complied with.

Any offer that is a written communication relating to the

Securities made prior to the filing of the Registration Statement by the Company or any person acting on its behalf (within the meaning, for this paragraph only, of Rule 163(c) of the 1933 Act Regulations) has been filed with the Commission in

accordance with the exemption provided by Rule 163 and otherwise complied with the requirements of Rule 163, including without limitation the legending

requirement, to qualify such offer for the exemption from Section 5(c) of the 1933 Act provided by Rule 163.

At the respective times the Original Registration Statement and each amendment thereto became effective, at each deemed effective date with

respect to the Underwriters pursuant to Rule 430B(f)(2) of the 1933 Act Regulations and at the Closing Time, the Registration Statement complied and will comply as to form in all material respects with the requirements of the 1933 Act and the 1933

Act Regulations and the 1939 Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission under the 1939 Act (the “1939 Act Regulations”), and did not and will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a

material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading.

Neither the Prospectus nor any

amendments or supplements thereto, at the time the Prospectus or any such amendment or supplement was issued and at the Closing Time, included or will include an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or will omit to state a material fact

necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

Each

preliminary prospectus (including the prospectus or prospectuses filed as part of the Original Registration Statement or any amendment thereto) complied when so filed in all material respects with the 1933 Act Regulations and each preliminary

prospectus and the Prospectus delivered to the Underwriters for use in connection with this offering was identical to the electronically transmitted copies thereof filed with the Commission pursuant to EDGAR, except to the extent permitted by

Regulation S-T.

As of the Applicable Time (as defined below), neither (x) the Issuer General

Use Free Writing Prospectus(es) (as defined below) issued at or prior to the Applicable Time included on Schedule C-1 hereto and the Statutory Prospectus (as defined below), all considered together

(collectively, the “General Disclosure Package”), nor (y) any individual Issuer General Use Free Writing Prospectus(es) included on Schedule C-2 hereto or any individual Issuer

Limited Use Free Writing Prospectus, in each case when considered together with the General Disclosure Package, included any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein,

in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

As used in this subsection and elsewhere in this Agreement:

“Applicable Time” means 5:45 p.m. (London time) on April 22, 2026.

“Issuer Free Writing Prospectus” means any “issuer free writing prospectus,” as defined in Rule 433 of

meaning of Rule 433(d)(8)(i), whether or not required to be filed with the Commission or (iii) is exempt from filing pursuant to Rule 433(d)(5)(i) because it contains a description of the Securities or of the offering that does not reflect the

final terms, in each case in the form filed or required to be filed with the Commission or, if not required to be filed, in the form retained in the Company’s records pursuant to Rule 433(g).

“Issuer General Use Free Writing Prospectus” means any Issuer Free

Writing Prospectus that is intended for general distribution to prospective investors, as evidenced by its being specified in Schedules C-1 and C-2 hereto.

“Issuer Limited Use Free Writing Prospectus” means any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus that is not an Issuer General

“Statutory Prospectus” as of any time means the prospectus relating to the

Each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, as of its issue date and at all subsequent times through the completion of the offer and sale of the

Securities or until any earlier date that the issuer notified or notifies the Representatives as described in Section 3(e), did not, does not and will not include any information that conflicted, conflicts or will conflict with the information

contained in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, including any document incorporated by reference therein and any preliminary or other prospectus deemed to be a part thereof that has not been superseded or modified.

The representations and warranties in this subsection shall not apply to statements in or omissions from the Registration Statement, the

Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by any Underwriter through the Representatives expressly for use therein, it being understood and agreed that

the only such information furnished by any Underwriter consists of the information described as such in Section 7(b).

(iii)

Incorporated Documents. The documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, at the time they were or hereafter are filed with the Commission,

complied and will comply as to form in all material respects with the requirements of the 1934 Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder (the “1934 Act Regulations”) and the 1939 Act and the 1939 Act

Regulations, as applicable, and, when read together with the other information in the Prospectus, (a) at the time the Original Registration Statement became effective, (b) at the earlier of the time the Prospectus was first used and the

date and time of the first contract of sale of Securities in this offering and (c) at the Closing Time, did not and will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or

by the Company and, when authenticated, issued and delivered in the manner provided for in the Indenture and delivered against payment of the purchase price therefor as provided in this Agreement, will constitute valid and binding obligations of the

Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms, except as the enforcement thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency (including, without limitation, all laws relating to fraudulent transfers), reorganization,

moratorium or similar laws affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and except as enforcement thereof is subject to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law),

or by which it or any of them may be bound, or to which any of the property or assets of the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries is subject (collectively, “Agreements and Instruments”) except, with respect to

clause (ii), such defaults that would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect; and the execution, delivery and performance of the Merger Agreement and the Transaction Documents and the consummation of the transactions

contemplated therein and in the Registration Statement (including the issuance

Proceeds”) and compliance by the Company with its obligations under the Merger Agreement and the Transaction Documents have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action and do not and will not conflict with or constitute a breach of,

or default or Repayment Event (as defined below) under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any property or assets of the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries pursuant to, the Agreements and

Instruments (except for such conflicts, breaches, defaults or Repayment Events or liens, charges or encumbrances that are described in the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus or would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material

Adverse Effect), nor will such action result in any violation of (y) the provisions of the charter or by-laws of the Company or (z) any applicable law, statute, rule, regulation, judgment, order,

writ or decree of any government, government instrumentality or court, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over the Company or any of its assets, properties or operations, except, with respect to clause (z), any such violation as would not

reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. As used herein, a “Repayment Event” means any event or condition which gives the holder of any note, debenture or other evidence of indebtedness (or any person

acting on such holder’s behalf) the right to require the repurchase, redemption or repayment of all or a portion of such indebtedness by the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries. As used in this subsection and elsewhere in this

governmental agency or body, domestic or foreign, now pending, or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened, against or affecting the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries, which is required to be disclosed in the Registration Statement

the transactions contemplated in the Transaction Documents or the performance by the Company of its obligations thereunder.

(xv)

Absence of Manipulation. Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries has taken, nor will the Company or any of its subsidiaries take, directly or indirectly, any action which is intended to cause or result in stabilization or manipulation

obligations hereunder, in connection with the offering, issuance or sale of the Securities hereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents or for the due execution, delivery or performance of the

Transaction Documents by the Company except (i) such as have been already obtained or as may be required under the 1933 Act or the 1933 Act Regulations or state securities laws, (ii) the qualification of the Indenture under the 1939 Act or

on the ability of the Company to perform its obligations under and consummate the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents.

and the application of the net proceeds therefrom as described in the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus will not be required, to register as, an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the

“1940 Act”).

(xviii) Environmental Laws. Except as described in the Registration Statement and except

as would not, singly or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, (A) neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries is in violation of, or has incurred liability under, any applicable laws, rules or

letters, claims, liens, notices of noncompliance or violation, investigation or proceedings relating to any applicable laws, rules or regulations concerning pollution or protection of human health, the environment (including, without limitation,

ambient air, surface water, groundwater, land surface or subsurface strata) or wildlife, including, without limitation, laws and regulations relating to the release or threatened release of chemicals, pollutants, contaminants, wastes, toxic

substances, hazardous substances, petroleum or petroleum products, asbestos-containing materials or mold (collectively, “Hazardous Materials”) or to the manufacture, processing, distribution, use, treatment, storage,

disposal, transport or handling of Hazardous Materials against the Company or any of its subsidiaries.

(xix) Accounting Controls and

Disclosure Controls. The Company maintains a system of internal control over consolidated financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the 1934 Act Regulations) that complies with the

requirements of the 1934 Act and has been designed by the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, or under their supervision, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and

the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The internal control over consolidated financial reporting of the Company is effective and the Company is not aware of any

material weaknesses in its internal control over consolidated financial reporting. The Company and its consolidated subsidiaries employ disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the

Company in the reports that it files or submits pursuant to the 1934 Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to the

Company’s management, including its principal executive officer or officers and principal financial officer or officers, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure. Compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. There is

and has been no failure on the part of the Company or, to the Company’s knowledge, any of the Company’s directors or officers, in their capacities as such, to comply in all material respects with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the

rules and regulations promulgated in connection therewith (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”), including Section 402 related to loans and Sections 302 and 906 related to certifications.

each case except as described in or contemplated by the Prospectus or as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(xxi) ERISA. Each of the Company and its subsidiaries have fulfilled their obligations, if any, under the minimum funding standards of

Section 302 of the United States Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”) and the regulations and published interpretations thereunder with respect to each “plan” (as defined in

Section 3(3) of ERISA and such regulations and published interpretations) in which employees of the Company and its subsidiaries are eligible to participate and each such plan is in compliance in all material respects with the presently

applicable provisions of ERISA and such regulations and published interpretations other than such non-compliance that would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(xxii) Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. Each of the Company and its subsidiaries and, to the knowledge of the Company, their respective

directors, officers and employees and all third parties authorized to act on their respective behalf complies and have complied with all applicable anti-corruption laws, including the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended, and the

rules and regulations thereunder, the UK Bribery Act 2010, as amended, and any other applicable laws or regulations implementing the OECD Convention on Bribery of Foreign Officials in International Business Transactions (collectively,

compliance with all applicable Anti-Corruption Laws.

knowledge of the Company, any director, officer, or employee of the Company or of any of its subsidiaries is currently the target of any sanctions or trade embargoes enforced, administered or imposed by the U.S. Government, including, the Office of

Foreign Assets Control of the U.S. Treasury Department (“OFAC”) or the U.S. Department of State, the United Nations Security Council, the European Union, His Majesty’s Treasury or any relevant sanctions imposed by any

other governmental body to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is subject (collectively, “Sanctions”). Except to the extent licensed by OFAC or the U.S. Department of State or otherwise permitted under applicable

law, the Company will not knowingly use, directly or indirectly, the proceeds of the offering or knowingly lend, contribute, or otherwise make available such proceeds to any subsidiary, joint venture partner, or other person (i) for the

purpose of financing the activities of any person that, to the Company’s knowledge at the time of such financing, is the target of any Sanctions or is located, organized or resident in a

country or territory that is the subject of Sanctions (currently, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Venezuela, Syria, the Crimea region of Ukraine, the so-called Donetsk People’s Republic, the so-called Luhansk People’s Republic, and the non-government controlled areas of the Zaporizhzhia and Kherson regions of Ukraine) (each, a “Sanctioned

Country”) or (ii) in any other manner that the Company knows will result in a violation of applicable Sanctions by the Company, any of its subsidiaries or any Underwriter. Since April 24, 2019, the Company and its

subsidiaries have not knowingly engaged in, are not now knowingly engaged in, and will not knowingly engage in, any dealings or transactions with any person, or in any country or territory, that at the time of the dealing or transaction is or was

any Underwriter if and to the extent it would result in a violation of or conflict with (i) Council Regulation (EC) No. 2271/1996 of 22 November 1996, as amended from time to time (the “EU Blocking Regulation”), (ii) with

regard to Citigroup and Deutsche Bank, Section 7 of the German Foreign Trade and Payments Ordinance (Außenwirtschaftsverordnung) (in connection with Section 4 Paragraph 1 No.3 of the German Foreign Trade and

anti-boycott law in the European Union or the United Kingdom.

(xxv) Cybersecurity. (A) To the Company’s knowledge,

there has been no security breach or incident, unauthorized access or disclosure, or other compromise of or relating to the Company or its subsidiaries’ information technology and computer systems, networks, hardware, software, data and

databases (including, as applicable, the data and information of their respective customers, employees, suppliers, vendors and any third party data maintained, processed or stored by the Company and its subsidiaries, and any such data processed or

stored by third parties on behalf of the Company and its subsidiaries), equipment or technology (collectively, “IT Systems and Data”), except in each case as would not reasonably expected to, individually or in the

aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect; and (B) the Company and its subsidiaries have implemented appropriate controls, policies, procedures, and technological safeguards to maintain and protect the integrity, continuous operation,

redundancy and security of their IT Systems and Data reasonably consistent in all material respects with industry standards and practices and applicable regulatory standards. The Company and its subsidiaries are presently in material compliance with

all applicable laws or statutes and all judgments, orders, rules and regulations of any court or arbitrator or governmental or regulatory authority relating to the privacy and security of IT Systems and Data and to the protection of such IT Systems

and Data from unauthorized use, access, misappropriation or modification.

(xxvi) Taxes. The Company and its subsidiaries have

filed all federal, state, local and non-U.S. tax returns that are required to be filed or have requested extensions thereof (except in any case in which the failure to so file would not reasonably be expected

to, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect); and the Company and its subsidiaries have paid all taxes (including any assessments, fines or penalties) required to be paid by them, except for (i) tax contingencies

described in the Registration Statement, (ii) any such taxes, assessments, fines or penalties currently being contested in good faith and for which adequate reserves have

been recorded in accordance with GAAP or (iii) as would not reasonably be expected to, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.

(xxvii) To the knowledge of the Company, all representations and warranties made by Masimo in the Merger Agreement are true and correct

(without giving effect to any limitation as to “materiality” or “Company Material Adverse Effect” (as defined in the Merger Agreement) or similar limitation as set forth therein), except in each case where the failure to be

so true and correct would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position, shareholders’ equity or results of operations of the Company and its

subsidiaries, taken as a whole, assuming the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.

(xxviii) The Merger

Agreement has been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the other parties thereto, constitutes the valid and binding agreement of the Company enforceable

against the Company in accordance with its terms, except as the enforcement thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency (including, without limitation, all laws relating to fraudulent transfers), reorganization, moratorium or similar laws

affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and except as enforcement thereof is subject to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

(xxix) To the knowledge of the Company, Masimo was not, as of the date of the Merger Agreement, and is not, as of the date hereof, in default

or breach, and no event has occurred that, with notice or lapse or time or both, would constitute such default or breach, of the due performance or observance of any term, agreement, covenant or condition contained in the Merger Agreement, in each

case except to the extent that such default or breach would not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the ability of Masimo to consummate the Acquisition.

(xxx) To the knowledge of the Company, no event or condition has occurred or exists that has terminated or would permit termination of the

Merger Agreement and no change in the terms of the Acquisition or the Merger Agreement has occurred which, individually or in the aggregate, would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, assuming the consummation of the

transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.

(b) Officer’s Certificates. Any certificate signed by any officer of the

Company or any of its subsidiaries delivered to the Representatives or to counsel for the Underwriters shall be deemed a representation and warranty by the Company to each Underwriter as to the matters covered thereby.

SECTION 2. Sale and Delivery to Underwriters; Closing.

(a) Securities. On the basis of the representations and warranties herein contained and subject to the terms and conditions herein set

forth, the Company agrees to sell to each Underwriter, severally and not jointly, and each Underwriter, severally and not jointly, agrees to purchase from the Company, at the prices set forth in Schedule B, the aggregate principal amount of each

series of Securities set forth in Schedule A opposite the name of such Underwriter, plus

any additional principal amount of a series of Securities which such Underwriter may become obligated to purchase pursuant to the provisions of Section 11 hereof.

(b) Payment. Payment of the purchase price for, and delivery of, the Securities shall be made at the offices of Latham &

Watkins LLP, 1271 Avenue of the Americas, New York, New York 10020, United States, or at such other place as shall be agreed upon by the Representatives and the Company, at 9:00 a.m. (London time) on April 29, 2026 (unless postponed in

accordance with the provisions of Section 11), or such other time not later than ten business days after such date as shall be agreed upon by the Representatives and the Company (such time and date of payment and delivery being herein called

“Closing Time”).

The Securities to be purchased by each Underwriter hereunder will be represented by one or

more definitive global Securities in book-entry form which will be registered in the name of a nominee of Clearstream Banking, S.A. (“Clearstream”) and Euroclear Bank S.A./N.V. (“Euroclear”).

Payment for the Securities shall be made by or on behalf of the Underwriters in immediately available funds through a common depositary for the account of the Company, against delivery to the Representatives for the respective accounts of the

Underwriters of the Securities to be purchased by them, with any transfer taxes payable in connection with the sale of the Securities to be paid by the Company. It is understood that each Underwriter has authorized the Representatives, for its

account, to accept delivery of, receipt for, and make payment of the purchase price for, the Securities which it has agreed to purchase. The Representatives, individually and not as representatives of the Underwriters, may (but shall not be

obligated to) make payment of the purchase price for the Securities to be purchased by any Underwriter whose funds have not been received by the Closing Time, but such payment shall not relieve such Underwriter from its obligations hereunder.

Merrill Lynch or such other Underwriter as the Underwriters may agree to settle the Securities (the “Settlement

Bank”) acknowledges that the Securities will initially be credited to an account (the “Commissionaire Account”) for the benefit of the Settlement Bank the terms of which include a third-party beneficiary

clause (‘stipulation pour autrui’) with the Company as the third-party beneficiary and provide that such Securities are to be delivered to others only against payment of the purchase price for the Securities into the

Commissionaire Account on a delivery against payment basis. The Settlement Bank acknowledges that (i) the Securities shall be held to the order of the Company as set out above and (ii) the purchase price for the Securities received in the

Commissionaire Account will be held on behalf of the Company until such time as the Securities are transferred to the Company’s order. The Settlement Bank undertakes to transfer the purchase price for the Securities to the Company’s

order promptly following receipt of such monies in the Commissionaire Account. The Company acknowledges and accepts the benefit of the third-party beneficiary clause (‘stipulation pour autrui’) pursuant to the Belgian and/or

Luxembourg Civil Code, as applicable, in respect of the Commissionaire Account.

shall be in such denominations (€100,000 and integral multiples of €1,000 in excess thereof) and registered in such names as the Representatives may request in writing at least one full business day before the Closing Time. The Securities,

which may be in temporary form, will be made available for examination and packaging by the Representatives in The City of New York not later than 10:00 a.m. (London time) on the business day prior to the Closing Time.

SECTION 3. Covenants of the Company. The Company covenants with each Underwriter as follows:

(a) Compliance with Securities Regulations and Commission Requests; Payment of Filing Fees. The Company, subject to Section 3(b),

will comply with the requirements of Rule 430B and will notify the Representatives immediately, and confirm the notice in writing, (i) when any post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement or new registration statement relating to the

Securities shall become effective, or any supplement to the Prospectus or any amended Prospectus shall have been filed, (ii) of the receipt of any comments from the Commission, (iii) of any request by the Commission for any amendment to

the Registration Statement or the filing of a new registration statement or any amendment or supplement to the Prospectus or any document incorporated by reference therein or otherwise deemed to be a part thereof or for additional information,

(iv) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or such new registration statement or of any order preventing or suspending the use of any preliminary prospectus, or of the

suspension of the qualification of the Securities for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, or of the initiation or threatening of any proceedings for any of such purposes or of any examination pursuant to Section 8(e) of the 1933 Act

concerning the Registration Statement and (v) if the Company becomes the subject of a proceeding under Section 8A of the 1933 Act in connection with the offering of the Securities. The Company will effect the filings required under Rule

424(b), in the manner and within the time period required by Rule 424(b) (without reliance on Rule 424(b)(8)), and will take such steps as it deems necessary to ascertain promptly whether the form of prospectus transmitted for filing under Rule

424(b) was received for filing by the Commission and, in the event that it was not, they will promptly file such prospectus. The Company will make every reasonable effort to prevent the issuance of any stop order and, if any stop order is issued, to

obtain the lifting thereof at the earliest possible moment. The Company shall pay any required Commission filing fees relating to the Securities within the time required by Rule 456(b)(1)(i) of the 1933 Act Regulations without regard to the

proviso therein and otherwise in accordance with Rules 456(b) and 457(r) of the 1933 Act Regulations (including, if applicable, by updating the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in accordance with Rule 456(b)(1)(ii) either in a

post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement or on the cover page of a prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)).

(b) Filing

of Amendments and 1934 Act Documents. The Company will give the Representatives notice of its intention to file or prepare any amendment to the Registration Statement or new registration statement relating to the Securities or any amendment,

supplement or revision to either any preliminary prospectus (including any prospectus included in the Original Registration Statement or amendment thereto at the time it became effective) or to the Prospectus, whether pursuant to the 1933 Act, the

1934 Act or otherwise, and the Company will furnish the Representatives with copies of any such documents a reasonable amount of time prior to such proposed filing or use, as the case may be, and will not file or use any such document to which the

Representatives or counsel for the Underwriters shall reasonably object. The Company has given the Representatives notice of any filings made pursuant to the 1934 Act or 1934 Act Regulations within 48 hours prior to the Applicable Time; the Company

will give the Representatives notice of its intention to make any such filing from the Applicable Time to the Closing Time and will furnish the Representatives with copies of any such documents a

reasonable amount of time prior to such proposed filing and will not file or use any such document to which the Representatives or counsel for the Underwriters shall reasonably object.

(c) Delivery of Registration Statements. The Company has furnished or will deliver upon request to the Representatives and counsel for

the Underwriters, without charge, signed copies of the Original Registration Statement and of each amendment thereto (including exhibits filed therewith or incorporated by reference therein and documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by

reference therein or otherwise deemed to be a part thereof) and signed copies of all consents and certificates of experts, and will also deliver to the Representatives upon request, without charge, a conformed copy of the Original Registration

Statement and of each amendment thereto (without exhibits) for each of the Underwriters. The copies of the Original Registration Statement and each amendment thereto furnished to the Underwriters will be identical to the electronically transmitted

copies thereof filed with the Commission pursuant to EDGAR, except to the extent permitted by Regulation S-T.

(d) Delivery of Prospectuses. The Company has delivered to each Underwriter, without charge, as many copies of each preliminary

prospectus as such Underwriter reasonably requested, and the Company hereby consents to the use of such copies for purposes permitted by the 1933 Act. The Company will furnish to each Underwriter, without charge, during the period when the

Prospectus is required to be delivered under the 1933 Act, such number of copies of the Prospectus (as amended or supplemented) as such Underwriter may reasonably request. The Prospectus and any amendments or supplements thereto furnished to the

Underwriters will be identical to the electronically transmitted copies thereof filed with the Commission pursuant to EDGAR, except to the extent permitted by Regulation S-T.

(e) Continued Compliance with Securities Laws. The Company will comply in all material respects with the 1933 Act and the 1933 Act

Regulations, the 1934 Act and the 1934 Act Regulations and the 1939 Act and the 1939 Act Regulations so as to permit the completion of the distribution of the Securities as contemplated in this Agreement and in the Prospectus. If at any time when a

prospectus is required by the 1933 Act to be delivered in connection with sales of the Securities (or in lieu thereof, the notice referred to in Rule 173(a) under the 1933 Act), any event shall occur or condition shall exist as a result of which it

is necessary, in the opinion of counsel for the Underwriters or for the Company, to amend the Registration Statement or amend or supplement the Prospectus in order that the Prospectus will not include any untrue statements of a material fact or omit

to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances existing at the time it is delivered to a purchaser, or if it shall be necessary, in the opinion of such counsel, at any such

time to amend the Registration Statement or to file a new registration statement or amend or supplement the Prospectus in order to comply with the requirements of the 1933 Act or the 1933 Act Regulations, the Company will promptly prepare and file

with the Commission, subject to Section 3(b), such amendment, supplement or new registration statement as may be necessary to correct such statement or omission or to comply with such requirements, the Company will use its best efforts to have

such amendment or new registration statement declared effective as soon as practicable (if it is not an automatic shelf registration statement with respect to the Securities) and the Company will furnish to the Underwriters such number of copies of

such amendment, supplement or new registration statement as the Underwriters may reasonably request. If at any time following issuance of an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus there occurred or occurs an event

or development as a result of which such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus conflicted or would conflict with the information contained in the Registration Statement (or any other registration

statement relating to the Securities) or the Statutory Prospectus or any preliminary prospectus or included or would include an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or would omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the

statements therein, in the light of the circumstances prevailing at that subsequent time, not misleading, the Company will promptly notify the Representatives and will promptly amend or supplement, at its own expense, such Issuer Free Writing

Prospectus to eliminate or correct such conflict, untrue statement or omission.

(f) Blue Sky Qualifications. The Company will use

its best efforts, in cooperation with the Underwriters, to qualify the Securities for offering and sale under the applicable securities laws of such states and other jurisdictions (domestic or foreign) as the Representatives may designate and to

maintain such qualifications in effect for a period of not less than one year from the date hereof; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to file any general consent to service of process or to qualify as a foreign corporation

or as a dealer in securities in any jurisdiction in which it is not so qualified or to subject itself to taxation in respect of doing business in any jurisdiction in which it is not otherwise so subject. The Company will also supply the Underwriters

with such information as is necessary for the determination of the legality of the Securities for investment under the laws of such jurisdictions as the Underwriters may reasonably request.

(g) Rule 158. The Company will timely file such reports pursuant to the 1934 Act as are necessary in order to make generally available

to its securityholders as soon as practicable an earnings statement for the purposes of, and to provide to the Underwriters the benefits contemplated by, the last paragraph of Section 11(a) of the 1933 Act.

(h) Use of Proceeds. The Company will use the net proceeds received by it or the Company from the sale of the Securities in the manner

specified in the Prospectus under “Use of Proceeds.”

(i) Reporting Requirements. The Company, during the period when

the Prospectus is required to be delivered under the 1933 Act, will file all documents required to be filed with the Commission pursuant to the 1934 Act within the time periods required by the 1934 Act and the 1934 Act Regulations.

(j) Issuer Free Writing Prospectuses. The Company represents and agrees that, unless it obtains the prior consent of the

Representatives, and each Underwriter represents and agrees that, unless it obtains the prior consent of the Company and the Representatives, it has not made and will not make any offer relating to the Securities that would constitute an

“issuer free writing prospectus,” as defined in Rule 433, or that would otherwise constitute a “free writing prospectus,” as defined in Rule 405, required to be filed with the Commission. Any such free writing prospectus,

including any customary term sheets, consented to by the Representatives or by the Company and the Representatives, as the case may be, is hereinafter referred to as a “Permitted Free Writing Prospectus.” The Company represents that it

has treated or agrees that it will treat each Permitted Free Writing Prospectus as an “issuer free writing prospectus,” as defined in Rule 433, and has complied and will comply with the requirements of Rule 433

applicable to any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus, including timely filing with the Commission where required, legending and record keeping.

(k) NYSE Listing. The Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to list, subject to notice of issuance if applicable, each

series of Securities on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) for trading on such exchange as promptly as practicable after the date hereof.

SECTION 4. Payment of Expenses.

(a) The

Company covenants and agrees with the several Underwriters that the Company will pay all expenses incident to the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, including (i) the preparation, printing and filing of the Registration

Statement (including financial statements and exhibits) as originally filed and of each amendment thereto, (ii) the preparation, printing and delivery to the Underwriters of this Agreement, any agreement among Underwriters, the Indenture and

such other documents as may be required in connection with the offering, purchase, sale, issuance or delivery of the Securities, (iii) the preparation, issuance and delivery of the certificates for the Securities, if any, to the Underwriters,

(iv) the fees and disbursements of the Company’s counsel, accountants and other advisors, (v) the qualification of the Securities under securities laws in accordance with the provisions of Section 3(f) hereof, including filing

fees and the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for the Underwriters in connection therewith and in connection with the preparation of the Blue Sky Survey and any supplement thereto, (vi) the printing and delivery to the Underwriters

of copies of each preliminary prospectus, any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus and of the Prospectus and any amendments or supplements thereto and any costs associated with electronic delivery of any of the foregoing by the Underwriters to

investors, (vii) the preparation, printing and delivery to the Underwriters of copies of the Blue Sky Survey and any supplement thereto, (viii) the fees and expenses of the Trustee, including the fees and disbursements of counsel for the

Trustee in connection with the Indenture and the Securities, (ix) all expenses and application fees in connection with the listing of the Securities on the NYSE, (x) the costs and expenses of the Company relating to investor presentations

on any “road show” undertaken in connection with the marketing of the Securities, including without limitation, expenses associated with the production of road show slides and graphics, fees and expenses of any consultants engaged in

connection with the road show presentations, travel and lodging expenses of the representatives and officers of the Company and any such consultants, and the cost of air travel and other transportation in connection with the road show and

(xi) any fees and expenses incurred in connection with the rating of the Securities. It is understood, however, that, except as provided in this Section, Section 4(b) and Section 7 hereof, each Underwriter will pay the portion of its

own costs and expenses, including the fees and disbursements of the counsel for the Underwriters, represented by such Underwriter’s pro rata share (based on the principal amount of Securities that such Underwriter agreed to purchase hereunder)

of the Securities.

(b) Termination of Agreement. If this Agreement is terminated by the Representatives in accordance with the

provisions of Section 5 or Section 10(a)(i) hereof, the Company covenants and agrees to reimburse the Underwriters for all of their reasonable documented

out-of-pocket expenses, including the reasonable documented out-of-pocket fees

and disbursements of counsel for the Underwriters. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, each Underwriter agrees, at its own expense, to pay the portion of expenses not reimbursed by

the Company pursuant to this Section 4(b) represented by such Underwriter’s pro rata share (based on the principal amount of Securities that such Underwriter agreed to purchase hereunder) of the Securities.

SECTION 5. Conditions of Underwriters’ Obligations. The obligations of the several Underwriters hereunder are subject to the accuracy of the

representations and warranties of the Company contained in Section 1 hereof or in certificates of any officer of the Company or any of its subsidiaries delivered pursuant to the provisions hereof, to the performance by the Company of its

respective covenants and other obligations hereunder, and to the following further conditions:

been filed and become effective in accordance with the requirements of Rule 430B). The Company shall have paid the required Commission filing fees relating to the Securities within the time period required by Rule 456(b)(1)(i) of the 1933 Act

(d) Officers’ Certificate of the Company. At the Closing Time, there shall

not have been, since the date hereof, since the Applicable Time or since the respective dates as of which information is given in the Prospectus or the General Disclosure Package, any material adverse change in the condition, financial or otherwise,

or in the earnings, or business of the Company and its subsidiaries considered as one enterprise, whether or not arising in the ordinary course of

business, and the Representatives shall have received a certificate of the President or a Vice President of the Company and of the chief financial or chief accounting officer of the Company,

dated as of the Closing Time, to the effect that (i) there has been no such material adverse change, (ii) the representations and warranties of the Company in Section 1(a) hereof are true and correct with the same force and effect as

though expressly made at and as of the Closing Time, (iii) the Company has complied with all agreements and satisfied all conditions on its part to be performed or satisfied at or prior to the Closing Time, and (iv) no stop order

suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been issued and no proceedings for that purpose have been instituted or are pending or, to their knowledge, contemplated by the Commission.

(e) Accountants’ Comfort Letter. At the time of the execution of this Agreement, the Representatives shall have received from

Ernst & Young LLP a letter dated such date, in form and substance satisfactory to the Representatives, together with signed or reproduced copies of such letter for each of the other Underwriters containing statements and information of the

type ordinarily included in accountants’ “comfort letters” to underwriters with respect to the financial statements and certain financial information contained in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus.

(f) Bring-down Comfort Letter. At the Closing Time, the Representatives shall have received from Ernst & Young LLP a letter,

dated as of the Closing Time, to the effect that they reaffirm the statements made in the letter furnished pursuant to subsection (f) of this Section, except that the specified date referred to shall be a date not more than three business days

downgrading in the rating assigned to the Securities or any of the Company’s other debt securities or securities guaranteed by the Company below Baa1 by Moody’s Investors Service Inc. or BBB+ by S&P Global Ratings, a division of

S&P Global, Inc., each a “nationally recognized statistical rating organization,” as that term is defined by the Commission for purposes of Section 3(a)(62) of the 1934 Act, and (ii) no such organization shall have publicly

announced that it has under surveillance or review for possible downgrade its rating of the Securities or any of the Company’s other debt securities or debt securities guaranteed by the Company below Baa1 or BBB+.

(h) Additional Documents. At the Closing Time, counsel for the Underwriters shall have been furnished with such documents and opinions

as they may reasonably require for the purpose of enabling them to pass upon the issuance and sale of the Securities as herein contemplated, or in order to evidence the accuracy of any of the representations or warranties, or the fulfillment of any

of the conditions, herein contained; and all proceedings taken by the Company in connection with the issuance and sale of the Securities as herein contemplated shall be satisfactory in form and substance to the Representatives and counsel for the

Underwriters.

(i) Termination of Agreement. If any condition specified in this Section shall not have been fulfilled when and as

required to be fulfilled, this Agreement may be terminated by the Representatives by notice to the Company at any time at or prior to the Closing Time, and such termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party except as

provided in

Section 4 and except that Sections 1, 7, 8, 9, 17, 19, 20 and 21 shall survive any such termination and remain in full force and effect.

SECTION 6. Stabilization. The Company hereby authorizes Merrill Lynch in its role as stabilizing manager (the “Stabilizing

Manager”) as the central point responsible for adequate public disclosure regarding stabilization of the information required in relation to such stabilization and handling any competent authority requests by Commission Delegated

Regulation (EU) 2016/1052 of 8 March 2016 supplementing Regulation (EU) No 596/2014 on market abuse, as amended or superseded. The Stabilizing Manager for its own account may, to the extent permitted by applicable laws and directives,

over-allot or effect transactions with a view to supporting the market price of the Securities at a level higher than that which might otherwise prevail, but in doing so the Stabilizing Manager shall act as principal and not as agent of the Company

and any loss resulting from overallotment and stabilization shall be borne, and any profit arising therefrom shall be beneficially retained, by the Stabilizing Manager. However, stabilization may not necessarily occur. Any stabilization action may

begin on or after the date on which adequate public disclosure of the final terms of the offer of the Securities is made, and, if begun, may cease at any time, but it must end no later than the earlier of 30 days after the issue of the Securities

and 60 days after the date of the allotment of the Securities. Nothing contained in this paragraph shall be construed so as to require the Company to issue in excess of the aggregate principal amount of Securities specified in Schedule A hereto.

Such stabilization action or over-allotment must be conducted by the Stabilizing Manager in accordance with all applicable laws and rules.

SECTION 7.

Indemnification.

(a) Indemnification of Underwriters. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter,

its affiliates, as such term is defined in Rule 501(b) under the 1933 Act (each, an “Affiliate”), its selling agents, directors, executive officers and each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of

Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act as follows:

(i) against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage

and expense whatsoever, as incurred, arising out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), including the Rule 430B Information, or the omission or

alleged omission therefrom of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or arising out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any preliminary

prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or any materials or information provided to investors by, or with the approval of, the Company in connection with the marketing of the offering

of the Securities, including any “road show” (as defined in Rule 433 under the Securities Act) not constituting an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact necessary in order to

make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;

(ii) against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever, as

incurred, to the extent of the aggregate amount paid in settlement of any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or of any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or

omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission; provided that (subject to Section 7(d) below) any such settlement is effected with the written consent of the Company;

(iii) against any and all expense whatsoever, as incurred (including the fees and disbursements of counsel chosen by the Representatives),

reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or

omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission, to the extent that any such expense is not paid under (i) or (ii) above; provided, however, that this indemnity agreement shall not apply to any loss, liability, claim, damage or

expense to the extent arising out of any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by any Underwriter through the Representatives

expressly for use in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), including the Rule 430B Information or any preliminary prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), it being

understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by any Underwriter consists of the information described as such in subsection (b) below.

(b) Indemnification of Company, Directors and Officers. Each Underwriter, severally and not jointly, agrees to indemnify and hold

harmless the Company, its directors, each of its officers who signed the Registration Statement, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act against any

and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense described in the indemnity contained in subsection (a) of this Section, as incurred, but only with respect to untrue statements or omissions, or alleged untrue statements or omissions, made in

the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), including the Rule 430B Information or any preliminary prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) in reliance upon and in

conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Underwriter through the Representatives expressly for use therein, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by any Underwriter consists of the

following information in the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus furnished on behalf of each Underwriter: (a) the second through fourth sentences of the third paragraph of text under the caption “Underwriting”; (b) the

sixth sentence of the fifth paragraph of text under the caption “Underwriting”; and (c) the eighth, ninth and tenth paragraphs of text under the caption “Underwriting.”

(c) Actions against Parties; Notification. Each indemnified party shall give notice as promptly as reasonably practicable to each

indemnifying party of any claim or action commenced against it in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder, but failure to so notify an indemnifying party shall not relieve such indemnifying party from any liability hereunder to the extent

it is not materially prejudiced as a result thereof and in any event shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have otherwise than on account of this indemnity agreement. In the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 7(a)

above, counsel to the

indemnified parties shall be selected by the Representatives, and, in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 7(b) above, counsel to the indemnified parties shall be selected by

the Company. An indemnifying party may participate at its own expense in the defense of any such action; provided, however, that counsel to the indemnifying party shall not (except with the consent of the indemnified party) also be counsel to the

indemnified party. In no event shall the indemnifying parties be liable for fees and expenses of more than one counsel (in addition to any local counsel) separate from their own counsel for all indemnified parties in connection with any one action

or separate but similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties, settle or compromise or

consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever in respect of which indemnification or contribution could

reasonably be sought under this Section 7 or Section 8 hereof (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties thereto), unless such settlement, compromise or consent (i) includes an unconditional release of

each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such litigation, investigation, proceeding or claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any

indemnified party.

(d) Settlement without Consent if Failure to Reimburse. If at any time an indemnified party shall have

requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel, in accordance with this Section 7, such indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of the nature contemplated by

Section 7(a)(ii) effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 45 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request, (ii) such indemnifying party shall have received notice

of the terms of such settlement at least 30 days prior to such settlement being entered into and (iii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed such indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such

settlement.

SECTION 8. Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in Section 7 hereof is for any reason unavailable to or insufficient

to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the aggregate amount of such losses, liabilities, claims, damages and

expenses incurred by such indemnified party, as incurred, (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand from the offering of the

Securities pursuant to this Agreement or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above

but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the Underwriters on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses, as well as any other

relevant equitable considerations.

The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand

in connection with the offering of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the total net proceeds from the offering of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement (before deducting

expenses) received by the Company

and the total underwriting discount received by the Underwriters, in each case as set forth on the cover of the Prospectus bear to the aggregate initial offering price of the Securities as set

forth on the cover of the Prospectus.

The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand shall be

determined by reference to, among other things, whether any such untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or by the Underwriters and

the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

The Company and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 8 were determined

by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this Section 8. The aggregate

amount of losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses incurred by an indemnified party and referred to above in this Section 8 shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in

investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission

or alleged omission.

Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8, no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in

excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Securities underwritten by it and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages which such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason

of any such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.

No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within

the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 1933 Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

For purposes of this Section 8, each person, if any, who controls an Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or

Section 20 of the 1934 Act and each Underwriter’s Affiliates, selling agents, directors and executive officers shall have the same rights to contribution as such Underwriter, and each director of the Company, each officer of the Company

who signed the Registration Statement, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company. The

Underwriters’ respective obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 8 are several in proportion to the principal amount of Securities set forth opposite their respective names in Schedule A hereto and not joint.

SECTION 9. Representations, Warranties and Agreements to Survive. All representations, warranties and agreements contained in this Agreement or in

certificates of officers of the Company or any of its subsidiaries submitted pursuant hereto, shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter or its Affiliates or

selling agents, any person controlling any Underwriter, its

officers or directors or any person controlling the Company, and (ii) delivery of and payment for the Securities.

SECTION 10. Termination of Agreement.

(a) Termination; General. The Representatives may terminate this Agreement, by notice to the Company, at any time at or prior to the

Closing Time (i) if there has been, since the time of execution of this Agreement or since the respective dates as of which information is given in the Prospectus (exclusive of any supplement thereto) or the General Disclosure Package, any

material adverse change in the condition, financial or otherwise, or in the earnings or business of the Company and its subsidiaries considered as one enterprise, whether or not arising in the ordinary course of business, or (ii) if there has

occurred any material adverse change in the financial markets in the United States or the international financial markets, any outbreak of hostilities or escalation thereof or other calamity or crisis or any change or development involving a

prospective change in national or international political, financial or economic conditions, in each case the effect of which is such as to make it, in the judgment of the Representatives, impracticable or inadvisable to market the Securities or to

enforce contracts for the sale of the Securities, or (iii) if trading in any securities of the Company has been suspended or materially limited by the Commission or the NYSE, or if trading generally on the NYSE or in the Nasdaq National Market

has been suspended or materially limited, or minimum or maximum prices for trading have been fixed, or maximum ranges for prices have been required, by any of said exchanges or by such system or by order of the Commission, the Financial Industry

Regulatory Authority, Inc. or any other governmental authority, or (iv) a material disruption has occurred in commercial banking or securities settlement or clearance services in the United States or Europe, or (v) if a banking moratorium

has been declared by either U.S. federal, New York or European Union authorities.

(b) Liabilities. If this Agreement is terminated

pursuant to this Section, such termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party except as provided in Section 4 hereof, and provided further that Sections 1, 7, 8, 9, 17, 19, 20 and 21 shall survive such termination and

remain in full force and effect.

SECTION 11. Default by One or More of the Underwriters. If one or more of the Underwriters shall fail at the

Closing Time to purchase the Securities which it or they are obligated to purchase under this Agreement (the “Defaulted Securities”), the Representatives shall have the right, within 24 hours thereafter, to make

arrangements for one or more of the non-defaulting Underwriters, or any other underwriters, to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Defaulted Securities in such amounts as may be agreed upon and upon

the terms herein set forth; if, however, the Representatives shall not have completed such arrangements within such 24-hour period, then:

(a) if the number of Defaulted Securities does not exceed 10% of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities to be purchased hereunder,

each of the non-defaulting Underwriters shall be obligated, severally and not jointly, to purchase the full amount thereof in the proportions that their respective underwriting obligations hereunder bear to

the underwriting obligations of all non-defaulting Underwriters, or

(b) if the number of Defaulted Securities exceeds 10% of the aggregate principal amount of

the Securities to be purchased hereunder and arrangements for the purchase of the Defaulted Securities that are satisfactory to the Company cannot be made, this Agreement shall terminate without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter.

No action taken pursuant to this Section shall relieve any defaulting

Underwriter from liability in respect of its default.

In the event of any such default which does not result in a termination of this

Agreement, either the Representatives or the Company shall have the right to postpone Closing Time for a period not exceeding seven days in order to effect any required changes in the Registration Statement or Prospectus or in any other documents or

arrangements. As used herein, the term “Underwriter” includes any person substituted for an Underwriter under this Section 11.

SECTION

12. Tax Disclosure. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, from the commencement of discussions with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, the Company (and each employee, representative or other agent of the

Company) may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure (as such terms are used in Sections 6011, 6111 and 6112 of the U.S. Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder) of the

transactions contemplated by this Agreement and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to the Company relating to such tax treatment and tax structure.

the Company, which information may include the name and address of their respective clients, as well as other information that will allow the underwriters to properly identify their respective clients.

SECTION 14. Recognition of the U.S. Special Resolution Regimes.

(a) In the event that any Underwriter that is a Covered Entity becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the

transfer from such Underwriter of this

Agreement, and any interest and obligation in or under this Agreement, will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this

Agreement, and any such interest and obligation, were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

(b) In

the event that any Underwriter that is a Covered Entity or a BHC Act Affiliate of such Underwriter becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under this Agreement that may be exercised against such

Underwriter are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

SECTION 15. No Advisory or Fiduciary Relationship. The Company acknowledges and agrees that (a) the purchase and sale of the Securities pursuant

to this Agreement, including the determination of the offering price of the Securities and any related discounts and commissions, is an arm’s-length commercial transaction between the Company, on the one

hand, and the several Underwriters, on the other hand, (b) in connection with the offering contemplated hereby and the process leading to such transaction each Underwriter is and has been acting solely as a principal and is not the agent or

originally due to such Underwriter or controlling person of such Underwriter hereunder, the Company agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such Underwriter or controlling person of such Underwriter

against such loss. If the United States dollars so purchased are greater than the sum originally due to such Underwriter or controlling person of such Underwriter hereunder, such Underwriter or controlling person of such Underwriter agrees to pay to

such Fixed Rate Notes to be redeemed, if they were to be purchased at such price on the third business day prior to the date fixed for

redemption, would be equal to the gross redemption yield on such business day of the Comparable Government Bond (as defined below) on the basis of the middle market price of the Comparable Government Bond prevailing at 11:00 a.m. (London time) on

such business day as determined by an independent investment bank selected by the Issuer.

“Comparable Government Bond” means, in relation to any Comparable Government Bond Rate calculation, at the discretion of an independent investment

bank selected by the Issuer, a German government bond whose maturity is closest to the remaining term of the series of the Fixed Rate Notes to be redeemed (assuming that the Fixed Rate Notes to be redeemed matured on the applicable Par Call Date for

such series of the Fixed Rate Notes), or if such independent investment bank in its discretion determines that such similar bond is not in issue, such other German government bond as such independent investment bank may, with the advice of three

brokers of, and/or market makers in, German government bonds selected by the Issuer, determine to be appropriate for determining the Comparable Government Bond Rate.

“Par Call Date” means, in the case of the 2030 Notes, March 29, 2030 (one month prior to maturity), in the case of the 2034 Notes,

January 29, 2034 (three months prior to maturity) and in the case of the 2038 Notes, January 29, 2038 (three months prior to maturity).

“Remaining Scheduled Payments” means, with respect to each series of the Fixed Rate Notes to be redeemed, the remaining scheduled payments of the

principal thereof and interest thereon that would be due after the related redemption date (assuming that such Fixed Rate Note matured on its applicable Par Call Date for such series of the Fixed Rate Notes) but for such redemption; provided,

however, that, if such redemption date is not an interest payment date with respect to such series of the Fixed Rate Notes, the amount of the next succeeding scheduled interest payment thereon will be deemed to be reduced by the amount of interest

accrued thereon to such redemption date.

Change of Control Triggering Event:

If a change of control triggering event occurs, unless the Issuer has exercised its right to redeem a series of the Fixed Rate Notes, it will be required to make an offer to repurchase

each

series of the Fixed Rate Notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the Fixed Rate Notes of such series, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on such Fixed Rate Notes to the date of repurchase.

Form/Clearing System:

Each series of the Fixed Rate Notes will be issued only in registered, book-entry form. There will be a global Note representing each series of the Fixed Rate Notes deposited with a common depositary for Euroclear and

Clearstream.

investor means a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail client as defined in point (11) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II; or (ii) a customer within the meaning of Directive 2016/97/EU, as amended (the “IDD”), where that

customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II. Consequently, no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No. 1286/2014, as amended (“PRIIPs Regulation”),

for offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the EEA has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the EEA may be unlawful

under the PRIIPs Regulation.

product approval process of each of the representatives (each a “Manufacturer”), the target market assessment in respect of the Notes has led to the conclusion that: (i) the target market for the Notes is eligible counterparties and

professional clients only, each as defined in Directive 2014/65/EU (as amended or superseded) (“MiFID II”); and (ii) all channels for distribution of the Notes to eligible counterparties and professional clients are appropriate. Any

person subsequently offering, selling or recommending the Notes (a “distributor”) should take into consideration the Manufacturers’ target market assessment; however, and without prejudice to our obligations in accordance with

MiFID II, a distributor subject to MiFID II is responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the Notes (by either adopting or refining the Manufacturers’ target market assessment) and determining appropriate

distribution channels.

(8) of Article 2(1) of Regulation (EU) No 600/2014 as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018. Consequently, no disclosure document required by the FCA Product Disclosure Sourcebook

(“DISC”) for offering, selling or distributing the Notes or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the UK has been prepared and therefore offering, selling or distributing the Notes or otherwise making them available to

any retail investor in the UK may be unlawful under DISC and the Consumer Composite Investments (Designated Activities) Regulations 2024.

is again available to the Company or so used. In such circumstances, the amount payable on any date in euro will be converted into U.S. dollars at the rate mandated by the U.S. Federal Reserve Board as of the close of business on the second business

day prior to the relevant payment date or, in the event the U.S. Federal Reserve Board has not mandated a rate of conversion, on the basis of the most recent U.S. dollar/euro exchange rate published in The Wall Street Journal on or prior to the

second business day prior to the relevant payment date. Any payment in respect of the Notes of a series so made in U.S. dollars will not constitute an Event of Default under such series of Notes or the Indenture. Neither the Trustee nor the Paying

Agent for the Notes shall have any responsibility for any calculation or conversion in connection with the foregoing.

Section 2.04 Global Notes. The Notes of each series shall be issued initially in the form of a permanent

Global Security in registered form (each, a “Global Note”), deposited with, or on behalf of, the Common Depositary, and registered in the name of the nominee of the Common Depositary for the accounts of Euroclear and Clearstream.

Unless and until a Global Note is exchanged for Notes of such series in certificated form, such Global Note may be transferred, in whole but not in part.

All payments due in respect of any series of Notes while such Notes are in the form of a Global Note, including the redemption price due in

respect of the redemption of any such series, shall be made to

the Paying Agent, which in turn shall make payment with respect to the applicable series of Notes to the Common Depositary for the account of Euroclear and Clearstream, or in each case to their

respective successors selected or approved by the Company or to the nominee of such successor.

Section 2.05

Interest on the Floating Rate Notes. (a) The Floating Rate Notes shall bear interest at a rate equivalent to the 3-month EURIBOR (the “Base Rate”) plus 0.380% per year, as

calculated by the Calculation Agent; provided, however, that the minimum interest rate shall be zero. The Floating Rate Notes will bear interest from the Issue Date or from the immediately preceding Floating Rate Notes Interest Payment Date to which

interest has been paid. Interest on the Floating Rate Notes shall be payable quarterly in arrears on January 29, April 29, July 29 and October 29 of each year (each, a “Floating Rate Notes Interest Payment

Date”), commencing on July 29, 2026; provided that if any Floating Rate Notes Interest Payment Date (other than any maturity date or earlier date of redemption) would be a day that is not a Business Day, such Floating Rate Notes

Interest Payment Date shall be the next succeeding day that is a Business Day (and no additional interest will accrue or otherwise accumulate on the amount payable for the period from and after such Floating Rate Notes Interest Payment Date); except

that if such next succeeding Business Day falls in the next succeeding calendar month, such Floating Rate Notes Interest Payment Date shall be the immediately preceding Business Day. The interest rate on the Floating Rate Notes will be reset

quarterly on January 29, April 29, July 29 and October 29 of each year (each, an “Interest Reset Date”), commencing on July 29, 2026; provided that if any Interest Reset Date would be a day that is not a

Business Day, such Interest Reset Date shall be the next succeeding day that is a Business Day, except that if such next succeeding Business Day falls in the next succeeding calendar month, such Interest Reset Date shall be the immediately preceding

Business Day. The initial Base Rate for the Floating Rate Notes in effect from the Issue Date to, but excluding, the first Interest Reset Date will be the 3-month EURIBOR in effect on April 27, 2026. The

interest rate on the Floating Rate Notes will be determined on the second TARGET2 Business Day preceding the applicable Interest Reset Date (a “EURIBOR Interest Determination Date”). Interest on a Floating Rate Notes Interest

Payment Date shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the Floating Rate Notes are registered on the Security Register at the close of business on the Record Date for such Floating Rate Notes Interest Payment Date. Interest on the Floating Rate

Notes will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days in the period for which interest is being calculated.

(b) The Base Rate that takes effect on any Interest Reset Date shall equal the interest rate for deposits in euro designated as

“EURIBOR” and sponsored jointly by the European Banking Federation and ACI — the Financial Market Association (or any company established by the joint sponsors for purposes of compiling and publishing that rate) on each EURIBOR

Interest Determination Date, and will be determined by the Calculation Agent in accordance with the following provisions:

(1) EURIBOR will be the offered rate for deposits in euro having a maturity of three months, as that rate appears on Reuters

Page EURIBOR01 as of 11:00 a.m., Brussels time, on the relevant EURIBOR Interest Determination Date;

(2) If the rate

described in clause (1) above does not appear on Reuters Page EURIBOR01, EURIBOR will be determined on the basis of the rates, at approximately 11:00 a.m., Brussels time, on the relevant EURIBOR Interest Determination Date, at which deposits of

the following kind are offered to prime banks in the Euro-Zone interbank market by the principal Euro-Zone office of each of four major banks in that market selected by the Company: euro deposits having a maturity of three months beginning on such

Interest Reset Date and in a principal amount of not less than €1,000,000 that is representative for a single transaction in such market at such time. The Company or its designee will request the principal Euro-Zone office of each of these

banks to provide a quotation in writing of its rate to the Calculation Agent. If at least two quotations are provided in writing, EURIBOR for such EURIBOR Interest

Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean (rounded upwards) of such quotations calculated by the Calculation Agent.

(3) If fewer than two quotations are provided as described in clause (2) above, EURIBOR for the relevant EURIBOR Interest

Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of the rates for loans of the following kind to leading Euro-Zone banks quoted in writing, at approximately 11:00 a.m., Brussels time, on such EURIBOR Interest Determination Date, by three major banks

in the Euro-Zone selected by the Company: loans of euro having a maturity of three months beginning on such Interest Reset Date and in a principal amount of not less than €1,000,000 that is representative for a single transaction in such market

at such time.

(4) If fewer than three banks selected by the Company are quoting as described in clause (3) above,

EURIBOR shall be the EURIBOR in effect on such EURIBOR Interest Determination Date.

Agent, the Calculation Agent will provide the interest rate then in effect on the Floating Rate Notes and, if determined, the interest rate that will become effective on the next Interest Reset Date.

(d) All percentages resulting from any calculation with respect to the Floating Rate Notes will be rounded upward or downward, as appropriate,

to the next higher or lower one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point (e.g., 9.876541% (or .09876541) being rounded down to 9.87654% (or .0987654) and 9.876545% (or .09876545) being rounded up to 9.87655% (or .0987655)). All amounts used in or

resulting from any calculation with respect to the Floating Rate Notes will be rounded upward or downward, as appropriate, to the nearest cent, in the case of euro amounts or U.S. dollars, or to the nearest corresponding hundredth of a unit, in the

case of a currency other than euro amounts or U.S. dollars, with one-half cent or one-half of a corresponding hundredth of a unit or more being rounded upward.

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company, in its sole discretion, determines that EURIBOR has been permanently discontinued, or the

reference to EURIBOR becomes illegal or most other debt obligations similar to the Floating Rate Notes have converted away from EURIBOR to a new reference rate, the Calculation Agent will use, as directed in writing by the Company, as a substitute

for EURIBOR for each future interest determination date, the alternative reference rate (the “Alternative Rate”) selected by a central bank, reserve bank, monetary authority or any similar institution (including any committee or

working group thereof) that is consistent with accepted market practice regarding a substitute for EURIBOR. As part of such substitution, the Calculation Agent will, as directed in writing by the Company, make such adjustments (the

“Adjustments”) to the Alternative Rate and/or the spread thereon, as well as the business day convention, interest determination dates and related provisions and definitions, in each case that are consistent with accepted market

practice for the use of such Alternative Rate for debt obligations such as the Floating Rate Notes. If the Company determines there is no clear market consensus as to whether any rate has replaced EURIBOR in customary market usage, it may appoint an

independent financial advisor (the “IFA”) to determine an appropriate Alternative Rate, and any Adjustments, and the decision of the IFA will be binding on the Company, the Calculation Agent, the Trustee and the holders. If,

however, the Company determines that EURIBOR has been discontinued, but for any reason an Alternative Rate has not been determined, the rate of EURIBOR for the next interest period will be equal to such rate on the interest determination date when

EURIBOR was last available on Reuters Page EURIBOR 01, as determined by the Calculation Agent.

Section 2.06

Interest on the Fixed Rate Notes. (a) Interest payable on any Interest Payment Date, Maturity Date or, if applicable, a Redemption Date, with respect to the Fixed Rate Notes, shall be

the amount of interest accrued from, and including, the immediately preceding Interest Payment Date in respect of which interest has been paid or duly provided for (or from and including the

Issue Date, if no interest has previously been paid or duly provided for with respect to the Fixed Rate Notes) to, but excluding, such Interest Payment Date, Maturity Date or, if applicable, Redemption Date, as the case may be. Interest on each

series of the Fixed Rate Notes will be computed on the basis of the actual number of days in the period for which interest is being calculated divided by the actual number of days from and including the last date on which interest was paid on such

series of the Fixed Rate Notes (or from and including, the Issue Date if no interest has been paid on the applicable series of the Fixed Rate Notes), to but excluding the next scheduled Interest Payment Date, Maturity Date or Redemption Date, as

applicable. This payment convention is referred to as ACTUAL/ACTUAL (ICMA) as defined in the rulebook of the International Capital Market Association.

(b) The 2030 Notes will bear interest at the rate of 3.250% per year; the 2034 Notes will bear interest at the rate of 3.625% per year; and

the 2038 Notes will bear interest at the rate of 4.000% per year. Interest on the 2030 Notes shall be payable annually in arrears on April 29 of each year (each, a “2030 Notes Interest Payment Date”), commencing

April 29, 2027; interest on the 2034 Notes shall be payable annually in arrears on April 29 of each year (each, a “2034 Notes Interest Payment Date”), commencing April 29, 2027; and interest on the 2038 Notes shall

be payable annually in arrears on April 29 of each year (each, a “2038 Notes Interest Payment Date”), commencing April 29, 2027, in each case to the Persons in whose names such Notes are registered at the close of

business on the Record Date for such Interest Payment Date.

Section 2.07 Payment on Day other than a

Business Day. In the event that any Interest Payment Date with respect to any series of Notes or the Maturity Date or a Redemption Date for any series of Notes falls on a day that is not a Business Day, then the related payments of principal,

premium, if any, and interest shall be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day (and no additional interest will accrue or otherwise accumulate on the amount payable for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date, Maturity

Date or Redemption Date, as applicable). Interest due on the Maturity Date or a Redemption Date (in each case, whether or not an Interest Payment Date) of any series of Notes will be paid to the Person to whom principal of such Notes is payable.

Section 2.08 Payments of Additional Amounts. All payments made by the Company under or with

respect to the Notes will be made free and clear of and without withholding or deduction for or on account of any present or future taxes, duties, levies, imposts, assessments or governmental charges of whatever nature (including, without

limitation, penalties and interest and other similar liabilities related thereto) imposed or levied by or on behalf of any Taxing Jurisdiction (“Taxes”), unless the Company, as the case may be, is required to withhold or deduct

any amount for or on account of any Taxes by law. In the event that the Company is required to so withhold or deduct any amount for or on account of any Taxes from any payment made under or with respect to any series of Notes, the Company will pay

to a Holder of Notes that is not a United States Person such additional amounts (“Additional Amounts”) as may be necessary so that the net amount received by such Holder or beneficial owner of Notes (including Additional Amounts)

after such withholding or deduction will equal the amount that such Holder or beneficial owner would have received if such Taxes had not been required to be withheld or deducted. Additional Amounts will be payable with respect to a payment made to a

Holder of such Notes where such Holder is subject to taxation on such payment by a relevant Taxing Jurisdiction for any reason other than for or on account of:

(a) any Taxes that are imposed or withheld solely because such holder (or the beneficial owner for whose benefit such holder holds such notes)

or a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member, shareholder or other equity owner of, or possessor of a power over, such holder (or beneficial owner) if

such holder (or beneficial owner) is an estate, trust, partnership, limited liability company, corporation, or other entity, that:

(1) is or was present or engaged in, or is or was treated as present or engaged in, a trade or business in the Taxing

Jurisdiction or has or had a permanent establishment in the Taxing Jurisdiction;

(2) has or had any present or former

connection (other than the mere fact of ownership of such Notes) with the Taxing Jurisdiction imposing such Taxes, including being or having been a national citizen or resident thereof, being treated as being or having been a resident thereof or

being or having been physically present therein;

(3) with respect to any withholding Taxes imposed by the United States,

is or was with respect to the United States a personal holding company, a passive foreign investment company, a controlled foreign corporation, a foreign private foundation or other foreign tax-exempt

organization or corporation that has accumulated earnings to avoid United States federal income tax;

(4) actually or

constructively owns or owned 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3) of the Code; or

(5) is or was a bank receiving payments on an extension of credit made pursuant to a loan agreement entered into in the

ordinary course of its trade or business within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3) of the Code.

(b) any estate, inheritance, gift,

sales, transfer, excise, personal property or similar Taxes imposed with respect to the Notes, except as otherwise provided herein;

(c)

any Taxes imposed solely as a result of the presentation of such Notes (where presentation is required) for payment on a date more than 30 days after the date on which such payment became due and payable or the date on which payment thereof is duly

provided for, whichever is later, except to the extent that the beneficiary or holder thereof would have been entitled to the payment of Additional Amounts had the Notes been presented for payment on any date during such 30-day period;

(d) any Taxes imposed or withheld solely as a result of the failure of such holder or

beneficial owner to comply with applicable certification, information, documentation or other reporting requirements concerning the nationality, residence, identity or connection with the Taxing Jurisdiction of such holder or beneficial owner, if

such compliance is required by statute, regulation, ruling or administrative practice of the relevant Taxing Jurisdiction or by any applicable tax treaty to which the relevant Taxing Jurisdiction is a party as a precondition to relief or exemption

from such Taxes (including the submission of an applicable IRS Form W-8 in the case of a non-United States Person);

(e) [reserved];

(f) any Taxes

that are payable by any method other than withholding or deduction by the Company or any paying agent from payments in respect of such Notes;

(g) [reserved];

(h) any withholding or deduction required pursuant to sections 1471 through 1474 of the

Code, any regulations or agreements thereunder, official interpretations thereof or any law, rule, guidance or administrative practice implementing an intergovernmental agreement entered into in connection with such sections of the Code; or

(i) any combination of Section 2.08(a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (f), (g), or (h).

Additional Amounts also will not be payable to any Holder that is a fiduciary, partnership, limited liability company or other fiscally

transparent entity, or to such holder that is not the sole Holder of such Note. This exception, however, will apply only to the extent that a beneficiary or settlor with respect to the fiduciary, or a beneficial owner or member of the partnership,

limited liability company or other fiscally transparent entity, would not have been entitled to the payment of an Additional Amount had the beneficiary, settlor, beneficial owner or member received directly its beneficial or distributive share of

the payment.

The term “United States Person” means any individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States

for U.S. federal income tax purposes, a corporation, partnership or other entity created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state of the United States or the District of Columbia (other than a partnership that is not treated

as a United States person under any applicable Treasury Regulations), or any estate or trust the income of which is subject to United States federal income taxation regardless of its source. As used in this Section 2.08 and in

Section 3.03, the term “United States” means the United States of America, the states of the United States, and the District of Columbia.

The Company will also (i) make such withholding or deduction of Taxes and (ii) remit the full amount of Taxes so deducted or

withheld to the relevant Taxing Jurisdiction in accordance with all applicable laws. The Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain certified copies of tax receipts evidencing the payment of any Taxes so deducted or withheld from

each Taxing Authority imposing such Taxes. The Company will, upon request, make available to the holders of the Notes, within 90 days after the date the payment of any Taxes so deducted or withheld is due pursuant to applicable law, certified copies

of tax receipts evidencing such payment by the Company or if, notwithstanding the Company’s efforts to obtain such receipts, the same are not obtainable, other evidence of such payments by the Company.

At least 30 days prior to each date on which any payment under or with respect to any series of the Notes is due and payable, if the Company

will be obligated to pay Additional Amounts with respect to such payment, the Company will deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating the fact that such Additional Amounts will be payable, the amounts so payable and such other

information as is necessary to enable such Trustee to pay such Additional Amounts to holders of such Notes on the payment date.

addition, the Company will pay and indemnify the Holder and beneficial owner for any stamp, issue, registration, documentary or other similar taxes and duties, including interest, penalties and Additional Amounts with respect thereto, payable in the

United States or any political subdivision or taxing authority of or in the foregoing in respect of the creation, issue, offering, enforcement, redemption or retirement of the Notes.

The provisions of Section 3.03 and this Section 2.08 shall survive any termination or discharge of the Indenture and shall apply

mutatis mutandis to any jurisdiction in which the Company or any successor Person to the Company is organized or is engaged in business for tax purposes or any political subdivisions or taxing authority or agency thereof or therein (and the

term Taxing Jurisdiction shall include such jurisdictions, political subdivisions, taxing authority or agency); provided, however, the date

on which the Company changes its jurisdiction in which it is organized or such Person becomes a successor to the Company shall be substituted for the date on which the series of Notes was issued.

Whenever in the Indenture or the form of each series of Notes there is mentioned, in any context, the payment of principal, premium, if

any, redemption price, interest or any other amount payable under or with respect to any Notes, such mention shall be deemed to include mention of the payment of Additional Amounts to the extent payable in such context.

Section 2.09 No Sinking Fund. The Notes are not entitled to the benefit of any sinking fund.

Section 2.10 Paying Agent and Calculation Agent. The Bank of New York Mellon, London Branch shall initially

be the Paying Agent for the Notes and the Calculation Agent for the Floating Rate Notes. The Company may change the Paying Agent or the Calculation Agent without prior notice to any Holder. The Company will give the Trustee prompt written notice of

any change in any such appointment.

ARTICLE 3

REDEMPTION OF THE NOTES

Section 3.01 Optional Redemption by Company.

(a) At any time and from time to time prior to the applicable Par Call Date for each series of the Fixed Rate Notes, the Company has the

right, at its option, to redeem any series of Fixed Rate Notes, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to the greater of:

(i)

100% of the principal amount of the Fixed Rate Notes to be redeemed, and

(ii) the sum of the present values of the Remaining Scheduled

Payments on such Fixed Rate Notes to be redeemed (not including any portion of the payments of interest that will be accrued and unpaid to and including the Redemption Date) discounted to the Redemption Date on an annual basis (ACTUAL/ACTUAL (ICMA))

at the applicable Comparable Government Bond Rate plus 10 basis points, in the case of the 2030 Notes, 15 basis points, in the case of the 2034 Notes and 15 basis points, in the case of the 2038 Notes,

plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the principal amount of the Fixed Rate Notes being redeemed to, but excluding, the

Redemption Date.

(b) On or after the applicable Par Call Date for each series of Fixed Rate Notes, the Company has the right, at its

option, to redeem each series of Fixed Rate Notes, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of such Fixed Rate Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any,

on the principal amount of the series of Fixed Rate Notes being redeemed to, but excluding, the Redemption Date.

cause the notice of any redemption to be mailed (or sent electronically in accordance with applicable Depositary procedures) to the registered Holders of the applicable Fixed Rate Notes to be redeemed not less than 15 nor more than 60 days prior to

the Redemption Date. Any notice may, at the discretion of the Company be subject to the satisfaction or waiver of one or more conditions precedent. In that case, the notice shall state the nature of such condition precedent. If a series of Fixed

Rate Notes is only partially redeemed pursuant to this Section 3.01, such Notes to be redeemed will be selected by the Trustee in such manner as in its sole discretion it shall deem appropriate and fair, subject to any applicable Depositary

procedures. The price for any redemption pursuant to this Section 3.01 shall be paid prior to 12:00 noon, London time, on the applicable Redemption Date or at such later

time as is then permitted by the rules of the Depositary applicable to such series of Fixed Rate Notes (if then registered as Global Notes); provided, that the Company shall deposit with

the Trustee or the Paying Agent an amount sufficient to pay the applicable redemption price by 10:00 a.m., London time, on the date such redemption price is to be paid.

(d) If money sufficient to pay the redemption price of all of the Fixed Rate Notes (or a portion thereof) to be redeemed on the applicable

Redemption Date is deposited with the Trustee or the Paying Agent on or before such Redemption Date as provided herein, then on and after such Redemption Date, interest will cease to accrue on such series of Fixed Rate Notes (or such portion

thereof) called for redemption.

Section 3.02 Change of Control Triggering Event.

(a) If a Change of Control Triggering Event occurs, unless the Company has exercised its right to redeem the Notes in full as described in

Section 3.01, or with respect to any series of Notes, such series of Notes has become redeemable as described in Section 3.03, the Company will be required to make an offer (the “Change of Control Offer”) to each Holder

of each series of the Notes to repurchase all or any part (equal to €100,000 or an integral multiple of €1,000 in excess thereof) of such Holder’s Notes on the terms set forth in the Notes. In the Change of Control Offer, the Company

will be required to offer payment in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes repurchased to the date of repurchase (the “Change of Control

Payment”). Within 30 days following any Change of Control Triggering Event, or, at the Company’s option, prior to any Change of Control, but after public announcement of the transaction that constitutes or may constitute the Change

of Control, the Company will be required to mail a notice to Holders of the Notes, with a copy to the Trustee, describing the transaction or transactions that constitute or may constitute the Change of Control Triggering Event and offering to

repurchase such Notes on the date specified in the notice, which date will be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed (the “Change of Control Payment Date”), pursuant to the procedures

required by the Indenture and described in such notice. The notice shall, if mailed prior to the Change of Control, state that the offer to purchase is conditioned on the Change of Control Triggering Event occurring on or prior to the Change of

Control Payment Date. The Company must comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such laws and regulations are

applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes as a result of a Change of Control Triggering Event. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control Triggering Event provisions of

the Notes, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 3.02 or the Change of Control Triggering Event provisions of the Notes by virtue

of such conflict.

(b) On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company will be required, to the extent lawful, to:

(i) accept for payment all Notes, or portions of Notes, properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer;

(ii) deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all Notes, or portions of

Notes, properly tendered; and

(iii) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes properly accepted together

with an Officers’ Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of such Notes, or portions of Notes, being repurchased.

properly tendered the Change of Control Payment for such Notes, and the Trustee will promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book-entry) to each such Holder a new Note of such series equal in principal amount to any unpurchased

portion of any Notes of such series surrendered; provided that each new Note will be in a principal amount of €100,000 or an integral multiple of €1,000 in excess thereof. The Company will not be required to make a Change of Control

Offer upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event if a third party makes such an offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for an offer made by the Company and such third party purchases all

Notes of each such series properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer. In addition, the Company will not repurchase any Notes if there has occurred and is continuing on the Change of Control Payment Date an Event of Default under the

Indenture, other than a default in the payment of the Change of Control Payment upon a Change of Control Triggering Event.

Section 3.03 Redemption Upon Changes in Withholding Tax. Unless otherwise provided, the Notes of any series

may be redeemed, as a whole but not in part, at the option of the Company, upon not less than 15 days, but no more than 60 days’ notice (which notice shall be irrevocable), at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof,

together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date and Additional Amounts, if any, if as a result of any amendment to, or change in, the laws, regulations or rulings of the United States, as applicable, or any political

subdivision thereof or therein having the power to tax (a “Taxing Jurisdiction”), or any change in the application or official interpretation of such laws, including any action taken by, or change in the published administrative

practice of, a taxing authority or a holding by a court of competent jurisdiction (regardless of whether such action, change or holding is with respect to the Company), which amendment or change is announced and becomes effective on or after the

date the Notes of such series are issued, the Company has become, or there is a material probability that it will become, obligated to pay Additional Amounts on the next date on which any amount would be payable with respect to the Notes of such

series, and such obligation cannot be avoided through the Company’s use of commercially reasonable measures available to it; provided, however, that no such notice of redemption may be given earlier than 60 days prior to the earliest date on

which the Company would be required, or there is a material probability the Company would otherwise be required, to pay such Additional Amounts. Prior to the publication or, where relevant, mailing (and/or to the extent permitted by applicable

procedures or regulations, electronic delivery) of any notice of redemption described in this Section 3.03, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee (i) a certificate of the Company stating that the obligation to pay Additional Amounts

cannot be avoided by the Company taking commercially reasonable measures available to it and (ii) a written opinion of independent tax counsel to the Company of recognized standing to the effect that the Company has or there is a material

probability that it will become obligated to pay Additional Amounts as a result of a change, amendment, official interpretation or application described above and that the Company cannot avoid the payment of such Additional Amounts by taking

commercially reasonable measures available to it.

Section 3.04 Special Mandatory Redemption.

(a) If (i) the Company does not consummate the Masimo Acquisition on or prior to November 16, 2026 (or such later date to which the

Merger Agreement may be extended in accordance with its terms), (ii) the Merger Agreement is terminated prior to such date, or (iii) the Company otherwise notifies the Trustee that it will not pursue the consummation of the Masimo Acquisition,

the Company shall redeem, in whole and not in part, the Fixed Rate Notes on the Special Mandatory Redemption Date at a redemption price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the Fixed Rate Notes outstanding, plus accrued and unpaid

interest from the Issue Date, or the most recent date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, whichever is later, to, but excluding, the Special Mandatory Redemption Date.

(b) The Company shall cause notice of a special mandatory redemption to be mailed, with a

copy to the Trustee, within five Business Days after the occurrence of the event triggering a special mandatory redemption to each Holder of Fixed Rate Nots at its registered address. If funds sufficient to pay the special mandatory redemption price

of all Fixed Rate Notes to be redeemed on the Special Mandatory Redemption Date are deposited with the Trustee or the Paying Agent on or before the Special Mandatory Redemption Date, the Fixed Rate Notes will cease to bear interest from on and after

the Special Mandatory Redemption Date.

Increases or Decreases in Note attached hereto on April 29, 2028, and to pay interest thereon from April 29, 2026 or from the immediately preceding Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid, quarterly in arrears on

January 29, April 29, July 29 and October 29 of each year (each, a “Floating Rate Notes Interest Payment Date”), commencing on July 29, 2026; provided, that, if any Floating Rate Notes Interest Payment Date

(other than any maturity date or earlier date of redemption) would be a day that is not a Business Day, such Floating Rate Notes Interest Payment Date shall be the next succeeding day that is a Business Day (and no additional interest will accrue or

otherwise accumulate on the amount payable for the period from and after such Floating Rate Notes Interest Payment Date); except that if such next succeeding Business Day falls in the next succeeding calendar month, such Floating Rate Notes Interest

Payment Date shall be the immediately preceding

A-1

Business Day. The interest rate on the Floating Rate Notes will be reset quarterly on January 29, April 29, July 29 and October 29 of each year (each, an “Interest Reset

Date”), commencing on July 29, 2026; provided, that, if any Interest Reset Date would be a day that is not a Business Day, such Interest Reset Date shall be the next succeeding day that is a Business Day, except that if such next

succeeding Business Day falls in the next succeeding calendar month, such Interest Reset Date shall be the immediately preceding Business Day. The initial Base Rate for the Floating Rate Notes in effect from the Issue Date to, but excluding, the

first Interest Reset Date will be the 3-month EURIBOR in effect on April 27, 2026. The interest rate on the Floating Rate Notes will be determined on the second TARGET2 Business Day preceding the

applicable Interest Reset Date (a “EURIBOR Interest Determination Date”). Interest on a Floating Rate Notes Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the Floating Rate Notes (or one or more Predecessor Notes) are

registered on the Security Register at the close of business on the Record Date for such interest, which shall be the fifteenth calendar day, whether or not a Business Day, immediately preceding the related Floating Rate Interest Payment Date,

except as provided in Section 2.07 of the Sixth Supplemental Indenture. Interest on the Floating Rate Notes will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days in the period for

which interest is being calculated.

The Base Rate that takes effect on any Interest Reset Date shall equal the interest rate for deposits

in euro designated as “EURIBOR” and sponsored jointly by the European Banking Federation and ACI — the Financial Market Association (or any company established by the joint sponsors for purposes of compiling and publishing that

rate) on each EURIBOR Interest Determination Date, and will be determined by the Calculation Agent in accordance with the following provisions:

(1) EURIBOR will be the offered rate for deposits in euro having a maturity of three months, as that rate appears on Reuters

Page EURIBOR01 as of 11:00 a.m., Brussels time, on the relevant EURIBOR Interest Determination Date;

(2) If the rate

banks to provide a quotation in writing of its rate to the Calculation Agent. If at least two quotations are provided in writing, EURIBOR for such EURIBOR Interest Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean (rounded upwards) of such quotations

calculated by the Calculation Agent.

(3) If fewer than two quotations are provided as described in clause (2) above,

EURIBOR for the relevant EURIBOR Interest Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of the rates for loans of the following kind to leading Euro-Zone banks quoted in writing, at approximately 11:00 a.m., Brussels time, on such EURIBOR Interest

Determination Date, by three major banks in the Euro-Zone selected by the Company: loans of euro having a maturity of three months beginning on such Interest Reset Date and in a principal amount of not less than €1,000,000 that is

representative for a single transaction in such market at such time.

(4) If fewer than three banks selected by the Company

are quoting as described in clause (3) above, EURIBOR shall be the EURIBOR in effect on such EURIBOR Interest Determination Date.

A-2

Upon request of the Holder to the Calculation Agent, the Calculation Agent will provide the

interest rate then in effect on the Floating Rate Notes and, if determined, the interest rate that will become effective on the next Interest Reset Date.

All percentages resulting from any calculation with respect to the Floating Rate Notes will be rounded upward or downward, as appropriate, to

the next higher or lower one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point (e.g., 9.876541% (or .09876541) being rounded down to 9.87654% (or .0987654) and 9.876545% (or .09876545) being rounded up to 9.87655% (or .0987655)). All amounts used in or

case of a currency other than euro amounts or U.S. dollars, with one-half cent or one-half of a corresponding hundredth of a unit or more being rounded upward.

Payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on this Note will be made at such place designated by the Company for that

purpose in accordance with the Indenture, which shall initially be the corporate trust office of the Paying Agent, in euro in immediately available funds; provided, however, that at the option of the Company, payment of interest may be made

by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register or by wire transfer to an account maintained by the Person entitled thereto as specified in the Security Register, and provided

further that if the euro is unavailable to the Company due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the Company’s control or if the euro is no longer being used by the then-member states of the European Economic and

Monetary Union that have adopted the euro as their currency or for the settlement of transactions by public institutions of or within the international banking community, then all payments in respect of this Note shall be made in U.S. dollars until

the euro is again available to the Company or so used. In such circumstances, the amount payable on any date in euro will be converted into U.S. dollars at the rate mandated by the U.S. Federal Reserve Board as of the close of business on the second

business day prior to the relevant payment date or, in the event the U.S. Federal Reserve Board has not mandated a rate of conversion, on the basis of the most recent U.S. dollar/euro exchange rate published in The Wall Street Journal on or prior to

the second business day prior to the relevant payment date.

The Company has initially appointed The Bank of New York Mellon, London

Branch, as the Paying Agent and as the Calculation Agent with respect to the Notes, but the Company may, in its sole discretion, appoint any other institution (including any Affiliate of the Company) to serve as any such agent from time to time,

without any prior notice to any Holder. The Company will give the Trustee prompt written notice of any change in any such appointment.

Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Note set forth on the reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all

purposes have the same effect as if set forth at this place.

Indenture for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes and of the terms upon which the Notes are, and are to be authenticated and

delivered. The Notes are subject to a Paying Agency Agreement, dated as of April 29, 2026, between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon, London Branch, as paying agent (in such capacity, the “Paying Agent”) and a

Calculation Agency Agreement, dated as of April 29, 2026, between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon, London Branch, as calculation agent (the “Calculation Agent”). This Note is one of the series designated on the

3. No Other Redemption

Except

If a Change of Control Triggering Event occurs, unless the Notes of this series have become redeemable as described in Section 3.03 of

the Sixth Supplemental Indenture, the Company will be required to make an offer (the “Change of Control Offer”) to each Holder of the Notes of this series to repurchase all or any part (equal to €100,000 or an integral

the extent such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes as a result of a Change of Control Triggering Event. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change

of Control Triggering Event provisions of the Notes, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under Section 3.02 of the Sixth Supplemental Indenture or

this Section 4 of this Note by virtue of such conflict.

extent lawful, to:

(i) accept for payment all of the Notes, or portions of the Notes, properly tendered pursuant to the

amount of €100,000 or an integral multiple of €1,000 in excess thereof. The Company will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event if a third party makes such an offer in

the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for an offer made by the Company and such third party purchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer.

In addition, the Company will not repurchase any Notes if there has occurred and is continuing on the Change of Control Payment Date an Event

Floating Rate Senior Notes due 2028

3.250% Senior Notes due 2030

3.625% Senior Notes due 2034

4.000% Senior Notes due 2038

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel for Danaher Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in connection with

the issue and sale by the Company of €500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its Floating Rate Senior Notes due 2028 (the “Floating Rate Notes”), €750,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 3.250% Senior Notes due

2030 (the “2030 Notes”), €750,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 3.625% Senior Notes due 2034 (the “2034 Notes”) and €1,000,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 4.000% Senior Notes due 2038

(the “2038 Notes” and, together with the Floating Rate Notes, the 2030 Notes and the 2034 Notes, the “Notes”) pursuant to an underwriting agreement dated April 22, 2026 (the “Underwriting

Agreement”) among the Company and the several underwriters named therein. The Notes will be issued pursuant to that certain indenture dated December 11, 2007 (as amended to date, the “Base Indenture”), between the

Company and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee (formerly known as The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A.) (the “Trustee”), as supplemented by a Sixth Supplemental Indenture of even date herewith (the

“Supplemental Indenture” and together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”) between the Company and the Trustee. The Notes will be subject to the Paying Agency Agreement (the “Paying Agency

Agreement”), of even date herewith between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon, London Branch, as paying agent, and the Floating Rate Notes will be subject to the Calculation Agency Agreement (the “Calculation Agency

Agreement”), of even date herewith between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon, London Branch, as calculation agent.

The Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) a Registration Statement

on Form S-3 (File No. 333-278426) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), on April 1, 2024, including the

prospectus dated April 1, 2024 (the “Base Prospectus”), as supplemented by the preliminary prospectus supplement dated April 22, 2026 (the “Preliminary Prospectus Supplement”) and the final prospectus

supplement dated April 22, 2026 (the “Prospectus Supplement”).

We have examined and relied upon

(i) corporate or other proceedings of the Company regarding the authorization of the execution and delivery of the Indenture and the Underwriting

Agreement and the issuance of the Notes, (ii) the Paying Agency Agreement, (iii) the Calculation Agency Agreement, (iv) the Registration Statement, (v) the Base Prospectus,

(vi) the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement, (vii) the Prospectus Supplement, (viii) the Underwriting Agreement and (ix) the Indenture. We have also examined and relied upon originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified

to our satisfaction, of such other corporate records of the Company, such other agreements and instruments, certificates of public officials, officers of the Company and other persons, and such other documents, instruments and certificates as we

have deemed necessary as a basis for the opinions hereinafter expressed.

In our examination of the documents referred to

above, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of all individual signatories, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as

copies, the authenticity of such original documents, and the completeness and accuracy of the corporate records of the Company provided to us by the Company.

In rendering the opinions set forth below, we have relied as to certain matters on information obtained from public officials

and officers of the Company, and we have assumed (i) the due execution and delivery, pursuant to due authorization, of the Indenture by the Trustee; (ii) that the Trustee has the power, corporate or other, to enter into and perform its

obligations under the Indenture; (iii) that the Indenture will be a valid and binding obligation of the Trustee; and (iv) that the Trustee shall have been qualified under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended. We have also assumed

the due authentication of the Notes by the Trustee, and that at the time of the issuance and sale of the Notes, the Board of Directors of the Company (or any committee of such Board of Directors or any person acting pursuant to authority properly

delegated to such person by the Board of Directors of the Company or any committee of such Board of Directors) has not taken any action to rescind or otherwise reduce its prior authorization of the issuance of the Notes.

We have assumed for purposes of our opinions below that no authorization, approval or other action by, and no notice to or

filing with, any governmental authority or regulatory body or any other third party is required for the due execution, delivery or performance by the Company of the Indenture or the Notes or, if any such authorization, approval, consent, action,

notice or filing is required, it will have been duly obtained, taken, given or made and will be in full force and effect.

We express no opinion herein as to the laws of any jurisdiction other than the state laws of the State of New York and the

General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

Our opinions below are qualified to the extent that they may be subject

to or affected by (i) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, usury, fraudulent conveyance or similar laws relating to or affecting the rights or remedies of creditors generally, (ii) statutory or decisional law

concerning recourse by creditors to security in the absence of notice or hearing, (iii)

duties and standards imposed on creditors and parties to contracts, including, without limitation, requirements of materiality, good faith, reasonableness and fair dealing, and (iv) general

equitable principles. Furthermore, we express no opinion as to the availability of any equitable or specific remedy upon any breach of the Indenture or the Notes, or to the successful assertion of any equitable defenses, inasmuch as the availability

of such remedies or the success of any equitable defenses may be subject to the discretion of a court. We also express no opinion herein with respect to compliance by the Company with the securities or “blue sky” laws of any state or

other jurisdiction of the United States or of any foreign jurisdiction. In addition, we express no opinion and make no statement herein with respect to the antifraud laws of any jurisdiction.

We also express no opinion herein as to any provision of any agreement (i) that may be deemed to or construed to waive

any right of the Company; (ii) to the effect that rights and remedies are not exclusive, that every right or remedy is cumulative and may be exercised in addition to or with any other right or remedy and does not preclude recourse to one or

more other rights or remedies; (iii) relating to the effect of invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of any agreement on the validity or enforceability of any other provision thereof; (iv) that is in violation of public policy;

(v) relating to indemnification and contribution with respect to securities law matters; (vi) that provides that the terms of any agreement may not be waived or modified except in writing; (vii) purporting to indemnify any person

against his, her or its own negligence or intentional misconduct; (viii) requiring the payment of penalties, consequential damages or liquidated damages or (ix) relating to choice of law or consent to jurisdiction.

On the basis of, and subject to, the foregoing, we are of the opinion that when the Notes have been duly executed by the

Company and duly authenticated by the Trustee in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, and delivered to the purchasers thereof against payment of the consideration therefor in accordance with the terms of the Underwriting Agreement duly

approved by the Company, the Notes will constitute valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms.

Please note that we are opining only as to the matters expressly set forth herein, and no opinion should be inferred as to any

other matters. This opinion is based upon currently existing statutes, rules, regulations and judicial decisions and is rendered as of the date hereof, and we disclaim any obligation to advise you of any change in any of the foregoing sources of law

or subsequent developments in law or changes in facts or circumstances that might affect any matters or opinions set forth herein.

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion with the Commission as an exhibit to the Company’s Current Report on

Form 8-K to be filed on the date hereof, which Form 8-K will be incorporated by reference into the Registration Statement and to the use of our name therein and in the

Preliminary Prospectus Supplement and Prospectus Supplement under the caption “Legal Matters.” In giving such consent, we do not hereby admit that we are in the category of persons
