WHEREAS, Fortive, acting through its direct and indirect Subsidiaries, currently conducts the Fortive Retained Business and the Vontier Business;

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of Fortive, together with the Separation Committee thereof (the Fortive Board), has determined that it is appropriate, desirable and in the best interests of Fortive and its stockholders to separate Fortive into two separate, publicly traded companies, one for each of (i) the Fortive Retained Business, which shall be owned and conducted, directly or indirectly, by Fortive and its Subsidiaries (other than Vontier and its Subsidiaries) and (ii) the Vontier Business, which shall be owned and conducted, directly or indirectly, by Vontier and its Subsidiaries;

WHEREAS, in order to effect such separation, the Fortive Board has determined that it is appropriate, desirable and in the best interests of Fortive and its stockholders for Fortive to undertake the Internal Reorganization and, in connection therewith, effect the Contribution to Vontier and that, in exchange therefor, Vontier shall (i) issue to Fortive shares of Vontier Common Stock and (ii) pay Fortive an amount of cash equal to the Vontier Contribution Payment (as defined herein), each as more fully described herein;

WHEREAS, following the completion of the Internal Reorganization, Fortive shall cause the Distribution Agent to distribute, on a pro rata basis, to the Record Holders, in accordance with the Distribution Ratio, an aggregate of 80.1% of the issued and outstanding shares of Vontier Common Stock (such distribution, the Distribution) on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement;

WHEREAS, following the Distribution, Fortive may retain up to 19.9% of the outstanding Vontier Common Stock (the Retained Stock) and intends to, within 12 months of the Distribution, effect distributions of the Retained Stock to Fortive stockholders as dividends or in exchange for outstanding shares of Fortive common stock or through one or more subsequent exchanges of Vontier Common Stock for Fortive debt held by Fortive creditors (a Subsequent Disposition);

WHEREAS, if any portion of the Retained Stock has not been disposed of pursuant to a Subsequent Distribution within the 12-month period, Fortive will dispose of such Retained Stock in all events within five years of the Distribution (a Remaining Disposition);

WHEREAS, (i) the Fortive Board has (x) determined that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements have a valid business purpose, are in furtherance of and consistent with its business strategy and are in the best interests of Fortive and its stockholders and (y) approved this Agreement and each of the Ancillary Agreements and (ii) the Board of Directors of Vontier, together with the Separation Committee thereof (the Vontier Board), has approved this Agreement and each of the Ancillary Agreements (to the extent Vontier is a party thereto);

WHEREAS, the Parties desire to set forth the principal corporate transactions required to effect the Contribution, the Internal Reorganization and the Distribution, and certain other agreements relating to the relationship of Fortive and Vontier and their respective Subsidiaries following the Effective Time;

WHEREAS, it is the intention of the Parties that the Contribution and the Distribution (except to the extent of any cash received in lieu of fractional shares of Vontier Common Stock) taken together, will qualify as a transaction that is tax-free for U.S. federal income tax purposes under Section 355 and Section 368(a)(1)(D) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code); and

WHEREAS, this Agreement is intended to be a plan of reorganization within the meaning of Treas. Reg. Section 1.368-2(g).

(i) Vontier and Fortive shall, and shall cause the applicable other Asset Transferors to, transfer, contribute, distribute, assign and/or convey or cause to be transferred, contributed, distributed, assigned and/or conveyed (Transfer) to (A) the respective Fortive Asset Transferees, all of the applicable Asset Transferors direct or indirect right, title and interest in and to the applicable Fortive Retained Assets, including all of the outstanding shares of capital stock or other ownership interests that are included in the Fortive Retained Assets, and the applicable Fortive Asset Transferees shall accept

(ii) Any costs and expenses incurred after the Effective Time to effect any Transfer contemplated by this Section 2.2(b) (including any transfer effected pursuant to Section 2.6) shall be paid by the Parties as set forth in Section 9.5(b) and (c). Other than costs and expenses incurred in accordance with the foregoing sentence, nothing in this Section 2.2(b) shall require any member of any Group to incur any material obligation or grant any material concession for the benefit of any member of any other Group in order to effect any transaction contemplated by this Section 2.2(b).

(c) Assumption of Liabilities. Except as otherwise specifically set forth in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, in connection with the Internal Reorganization and the Contribution or, if applicable, from and after the Effective Time, in each case pursuant to this Agreement or the applicable Conveyancing and Assumption Instruments, (i) Fortive shall, or shall cause a member of the Fortive Group to, accept, assume (or, as applicable, retain) and perform, discharge and fulfill, in accordance with their respective terms (Assume), all of the Fortive Retained Liabilities and (ii) Vontier shall, or shall cause a member of the Vontier Group to, Assume all of the Vontier Liabilities, in each case, regardless of (A) when or where such Liabilities arose or arise, (B) whether the facts upon which they are based occurred prior to, at or subsequent to the Effective Time, (C) whether accruals for such Liabilities have been transferred to Vontier or included on a combined balance sheet of the Vontier Business or whether any such accruals are sufficient to cover such Liabilities, (D) where or against whom such Liabilities are asserted or determined, (E) whether arising from or alleged to arise from negligence, gross negligence, recklessness, violation of Law, fraud or misrepresentation by any member of the Fortive Group or the Vontier Group, as the case may be, or any of their past or present respective directors, officers, employees, agents, Subsidiaries or Affiliates, (F) which entity is named in any Action associated with any Liability, or (G) any benefits, or lack thereof, that have been or may be obtained by the Fortive Group or the Vontier Group in respect of such Liabilities.

(d) Consents. The Parties shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the Consents required to Transfer any Assets, Contracts, licenses, permits and authorizations issued by any Governmental Entity or parts thereof as contemplated by this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Contract or other Asset shall be transferred if it would violate applicable Law or, in the case of any Contract, the rights of any third party to such Contract; provided that Section 2.6, to the extent provided therein, shall apply thereto.

(e) It is understood and agreed by the Parties that certain of the Transfers referenced in Section 2.2(b) or Assumptions referenced in Section 2.2(c) have occurred prior to the date hereof and, as a result, no additional Transfers or Assumptions by any member of the Fortive Group or the Vontier Group, as applicable, shall be deemed to occur upon the execution of this Agreement with respect thereto. Moreover, to the extent that any member of the Fortive Group or the Vontier Group, as applicable, is liable for any Fortive Retained Liability or Assumed Liability, respectively, by operation of law immediately following any Transfer in accordance with this Agreement or any Conveyancing and Assumption Instruments, there shall be no need for any other member of the Fortive Group or the Vontier Group, as applicable, to Assume such Liability in connection with the operation of Section 2.2(c) and, accordingly, no other member of such Group shall Assume such Liability in connection with Section 2.2(c).

Section 2.3 Treatment of Shared Contracts. Without limiting the generality of the obligations set forth in Sections 2.2(a) and (b):

(a) Unless the Parties otherwise agree or the benefits of any Contract described in this Section 2.3 are expressly conveyed to the applicable Party pursuant to an Ancillary Agreement, any Contract that is listed on Schedule 2.3(a) (a Shared Contract) shall be assigned in part to the applicable member(s) of the applicable Group, if so assignable, or appropriately amended prior to, at or after the Effective Time, so that each Party or the members of their respective Groups as of the Effective Time shall be entitled to the rights and benefits, and shall Assume the related portion of any Liabilities, inuring to their respective Businesses; provided, however, that (x) in no event shall any member of any Group be required to assign (or amend) any Shared Contract in its entirety or to assign a portion of any Shared Contract (including any Policy) which is not assignable (or cannot be amended) by its terms (including any terms imposing consents or conditions on an assignment where such consents or conditions have not been obtained or fulfilled, subject to Section 2.2(d)), and (y) if any Shared Contract cannot be so partially assigned by its terms or otherwise, cannot be amended or has not for any other reason been assigned or amended, or if such assignment or amendment would impair the benefit the parties thereto derive from such Shared Contract, (A) at the reasonable request of the Party (or the member of such Partys Group) to which the benefit of such Shared Contract inures in part, the Party for which such Shared Contract is, as applicable, a Fortive Retained Asset or Vontier Asset shall, and shall cause each of its respective Subsidiaries to, for a period ending not later than eighteen (18) months after the Distribution Date (unless the term of a Shared Contract (excluding any extensions thereof) ends at a later date, in which case for a period ending on such date), take such other reasonable and permissible actions to cause such member of the Vontier Group or the Fortive Group, as the case may be, to receive the benefit of that portion of each Shared Contract that relates to the Vontier Business or the Fortive Retained Business, as the case may be (in each case, to the extent so related) as if such Shared Contract had been assigned to (or amended to allow) a member of the applicable Group pursuant to this Section 2.3 and to bear the burden of the corresponding Liabilities (including any Liabilities that may arise by reason of such arrangement) as if such Liabilities had been Assumed by a member of the applicable Group pursuant to this Section 2.3; provided that the Party for which such Shared Contract is a Fortive Retained Asset or a Vontier Asset, as applicable, shall be indemnified for all Indemnifiable Losses or other Liabilities arising out of any actions (or omissions to act) of such retaining Party taken at the direction of the other Party (or relevant member of its Group) in connection with and relating to such Shared Contract, as the case may be, and (B) the Party to which the benefit of

such Shared Contract inures in part shall use commercially reasonable efforts to enter into a separate contract pursuant to which it procures such rights and obligations as are necessary such that it no longer needs to avail itself of the arrangements provided pursuant to this Section 2.3(a); provided that, the Party for which such Shared Contract is, as applicable, a Fortive Retained Asset or Vontier Asset, and such Partys applicable Subsidiaries shall not be liable for any actions or omissions taken in accordance with clause (y) of this Section 2.3(a).

(b) Unless otherwise determined by Fortive in its sole discretion, each of Fortive and Vontier shall, and shall cause the members of its Group to, (A) treat for all Tax purposes the portion of each Shared Contract inuring to its respective Businesses as Assets owned by, and/or Liabilities of, as applicable, such Party as of the Effective Time and (B) neither report nor take any Tax position (on a Tax Return or otherwise) inconsistent with such treatment (unless required by applicable Law or good faith resolution of a Tax Contest).

Section 2.4 Intercompany Accounts, Loans and Agreements.

(a) Except as set forth in Section 5.1(b), all intercompany receivables and payables (other than (x) intercompany loans (which shall be governed by Section 2.4(c)), (y) receivables or payables otherwise specifically provided for on Schedule 2.4(a), and (z) payables created or required by this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement or any Continuing Arrangements) and intercompany balances, including in respect of any cash balances, any cash balances representing deposited checks or drafts or any cash held in any centralized cash management system between any member of the Fortive Group, on the one hand, and any member of the Vontier Group, on the other hand, which exist and are reflected in the accounting records of the relevant Parties immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall continue to be outstanding after the Effective Time and thereafter (i) shall be an obligation of the relevant Party (or the relevant member of such Partys Group), each responsible for fulfilling its (or a member of such Partys Groups) obligations in accordance with the terms and conditions applicable to such obligation or if such terms and conditions are not set forth in writing, such obligation shall be satisfied within 30 days of a written request by the beneficiary of such obligation given to the corresponding obligor thereunder, and (ii) shall be for each relevant Party (or the relevant member of such Partys Group) an obligation to a third party and shall no longer be an intercompany account.

(b) As between the Parties (and the members of their respective Group), all payments and reimbursements received after the Effective Time by one Party (or member of its Group) that relate to a Business, Asset or Liability of the other Party (or member of its Group), shall be held by such Party in trust for the use and benefit of the Party entitled thereto (at the expense of the Party entitled thereto) and, promptly upon receipt by such Party of any such payment or reimbursement, such Party shall pay or shall cause the applicable member of its Group to pay over to the Party entitled thereto the amount of such payment or reimbursement without right of set-off.

(c) Except as set forth on Schedule 2.4(c), each of Fortive or any member of the Fortive Group, on the one hand, and Vontier or any member of the Vontier Group, on the other hand, will settle with the other Party, as the case may be, all intercompany loans, including any promissory notes, owned or owed by the other Party on or prior to the Distribution Date, except as otherwise agreed to in good faith by the Parties in writing on or after the date hereof, it being understood and agreed by the Parties that all guarantees and Credit Support Instruments shall be governed by Section 2.10.

Section 2.5 Limitation of Liability; Intercompany Contracts. No Party nor any Subsidiary thereof shall be liable to the other Party or any Subsidiary of the other Party based upon, arising out of or resulting from any Contract, arrangement, course of dealing or understanding between or among it and the other Party existing at or prior to the Effective Time (other than as set forth on Schedule 2.5, pursuant to this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement, any Continuing Arrangements, any Third Party Agreements, as set forth in Section 2.4 or Section 5.1(b) or pursuant to any other Contract entered into in connection herewith or in order to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby) and each Party hereby terminates any and all Contracts, arrangements, courses of dealing or understandings between or among it and the other Party effective as of the Effective Time (other than as set forth on Schedule 2.5, this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement, any Continuing Arrangements, any Third Party Agreements, as set forth in Section 2.4 or Section 5.1(b) or pursuant to any Contract entered into in connection herewith or in order to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby), provided, however, that with respect to any Contract, arrangement, course of dealing or understanding between or among the Parties or any Subsidiaries thereof discovered after the Effective Time, the Parties agree that such Contract, arrangement, course of dealing or understanding shall nonetheless be deemed terminated as of the Effective Time with the only liability of the Parties in respect thereof to be the obligations incurred between the Parties pursuant to such Contract, arrangement, course of dealing or understanding between the Effective Time and the time of discovery or later termination of any such Contract, arrangement, course of dealing or understanding.

Section 2.6 Transfers Not Effected at or Prior to the Effective Time; Transfers Deemed Effective as of the Effective Time.

(a) To the extent that any Transfers of any Assets (including the capital stock or equity interest of any members of the Vontier Group and/or the Fortive Group) or Assumptions of any Liabilities contemplated by this Article II shall not have been consummated at or prior to the Effective Time (such Assets subject to such delayed Transfer, the Deferred Assets and such Liabilities subject to such delayed Assumptions, the Deferred Liabilities), the Parties shall, except (i) as set forth on Schedule 2.6(a) or (ii) as contemplated by the Internal Reorganization, use commercially reasonable efforts to effect such Transfers or Assumptions as promptly as shall be practicable following the Effective Time. Nothing herein shall be deemed to require or constitute the Transfer of any Assets or the Assumption of any Liabilities which by their terms or operation of Law cannot be Transferred or Assumed; provided, however, that the Parties and their respective Subsidiaries shall cooperate and use commercially reasonable efforts to seek to obtain, in accordance with applicable Law, any necessary Consents or Governmental Approvals for the Transfer of all Assets and Assumption of all Liabilities contemplated to be Transferred and Assumed pursuant to this Article II to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law. In the event that any such Transfer of Assets or Assumption of Liabilities has not been consummated by the Effective Time, from and after the Effective Time, except as set forth on Schedule 2.6(a), (i) the Party (or relevant member in its Group) retaining such Deferred Assets shall thereafter, insofar as reasonably possible and to the

extent permitted by applicable Law, hold (or shall cause such member in its Group to hold) such Deferred Assets in trust for the use and benefit of the Party entitled thereto (at the expense of the Party entitled thereto), and (ii) the Party intended to Assume such Deferred Liabilities shall, or shall cause the applicable member of its Group to, pay or reimburse the Party retaining such Deferred Liabilities for all amounts paid or incurred in connection with the retention of such Deferred Liabilities. To the extent the foregoing applies to any Contracts (other than Shared Contracts, which shall be governed solely by Section 2.3) to be assigned for which any necessary Consents or Governmental Approvals are not received prior to the Effective Time, the treatment of such Contracts shall, for the avoidance of doubt, be subject to Section 2.8 and Section 2.9, to the extent applicable. In addition, the Party retaining such Deferred Assets or Deferred Liabilities (or relevant member of its Group) shall (or shall cause such member in its Group to) treat or operate, insofar as reasonably possible and to the extent permitted by applicable Law, such Deferred Assets or Deferred Liabilities in the ordinary course of business and take such other actions as may be reasonably requested by the Party to which such Deferred Assets are to be Transferred or the Party to be Assuming such Deferred Liabilities, in order to place such Party, insofar as reasonably possible and to the extent permitted by applicable Law, in the same position as if such Deferred Assets or Deferred Liabilities had been Transferred or Assumed as contemplated hereby and so that all the benefits and burdens relating to such Deferred Assets or Deferred Liabilities, including possession, use, risk of loss, potential for income and gain, and dominion, control and command over such Deferred Assets or Deferred Liabilities, are to inure from and after the Effective Time to the relevant member or members of the Fortive Group or the Vontier Group entitled to the receipt of such Deferred Assets or required to Assume such Deferred Liabilities. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Parties agree that, as of the Effective Time, except as set forth on Schedule 2.6(a) and subject to Section 2.2(c) and Section 2.9(b), each Party shall be deemed to have acquired complete and sole beneficial ownership over all of the Deferred Assets, together with all rights, powers and privileges incident thereto, and shall be deemed to have Assumed in accordance with the terms of this Agreement all of the Deferred Liabilities, and all duties, obligations and responsibilities incident thereto, which such Party is entitled to acquire or required to Assume pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

(b) If and when the Consents, Governmental Approvals and/or conditions, the absence or non-satisfaction of which caused the deferral of Transfer of any Asset or deferral of Assumption of any Liability pursuant to Section 2.6(a), are obtained or satisfied, the Transfer, assignment, Assumption or novation of the applicable Asset or Liability shall be effected without further consideration in accordance with and subject to the terms of this Agreement (including Section 2.2) and/or the applicable Ancillary Agreement, and shall, to the extent possible without the imposition of any undue cost on any Party, be deemed to have become effective as of the Effective Time.

(c) The Party (or relevant member of its Group) retaining any Deferred Assets or Deferred Liabilities pursuant to Section 2.6(a) or otherwise, except as set forth in Schedule 2.6(c), shall (i) not be obligated, in connection with the foregoing, to expend any money unless the necessary funds are advanced, assumed, or agreed in advance to be reimbursed by the Party (or relevant member of its Group) entitled to such Deferred Assets or the Person

intended to be subject to such Deferred Liabilities, other than reasonable attorneys fees and recording or similar or other incidental fees, all of which shall be promptly reimbursed by the Party (or relevant member of its Group) entitled to such Deferred Assets or the Person intended to be subject to such Deferred Liabilities and (ii) be indemnified for all Indemnifiable Losses or other Liabilities arising out of any actions (or omissions to act) of such retaining Party taken at the direction of the other Party (or relevant member of its Group) in connection with and relating to such retained Deferred Assets or Deferred Liabilities, as the case may be.

(d) After the Effective Time, each Party (or any member of its Group) may receive mail, packages, electronic mail and any other written communications properly belonging to another Party (or any member of its Group). Accordingly, at all times after the Effective Time, each Party is hereby authorized to receive and, if reasonably necessary to identify the proper recipient in accordance with this Section 2.6(d), open all mail, packages, electronic mail and any other written communications received by such Party that belongs to such other Party, and to the extent that they do not relate to the business of the receiving Party, the receiving Party shall promptly deliver such mail, packages, electronic mail or any other written communications (or, in case the same also relates to the business of the receiving Party or another Party, copies thereof) to such other Party as provided for in Section 9.6; it being understood that if a Party receives a telephone call that relates to the business of the other Party, then the receiving Party shall inform the person making such telephone call to contact the other Party. The provisions of this Section 2.6(d) are not intended to, and shall not, be deemed to constitute an authorization by any Party to permit the other to accept service of process on its behalf and no Party is or shall be deemed to be the agent of any other Party for service of process purposes.

(e) With respect to Assets and Liabilities described in Section 2.6(a), each of Fortive and Vontier shall, and shall cause the members of its respective Group to, (i) treat for all Tax purposes (A) the Deferred Assets as Assets having been Transferred to and owned by the Party entitled to such Deferred Assets not later than the Effective Time and (B) the Deferred Liabilities as liabilities having been Assumed and owned by the Person intended to be subject to such Liabilities not later than the Effective Time and (ii) neither report nor take any Tax position (on a Tax Return or otherwise) inconsistent with such treatment (unless required by a change in applicable Law or good faith resolution of a Tax Contest).

Section 2.7 Conveyancing and Assumption Instruments. In connection with, and in furtherance of, the Transfers of Assets and the Assumptions of Liabilities contemplated by this Agreement, the Parties shall execute or cause to be executed, on or after the date hereof by the appropriate entities to the extent not executed prior to the date hereof, any Conveyancing and Assumption Instruments necessary to evidence the valid Transfer to the applicable Party or member of such Partys Group of all right, title and interest in and to its accepted Assets and the valid and effective Assumption by the applicable Party of its Assumed Liabilities for Transfers and Assumptions to be effected pursuant to Delaware Law or the Laws of one of the other states of the United States or, if not appropriate for a given Transfer or Assumption, and for Transfers or Assumptions to be effected pursuant to non-U.S. Laws, in such form as the Parties shall reasonably agree, including the Transfer of real property by mutually acceptable conveyance deeds as may be appropriate and in form and substance as may be required by the jurisdiction in which the real property is located. The Transfer of capital stock shall be effected by means of executed stock powers and notation on the stock record books of the corporation or other legal entities involved, or by such other means as may be required in any non-U.S. jurisdiction to Transfer title to stock and, only to the extent required by applicable Law, by notation on public registries.

Section 2.8 Further Assurances; Ancillary Agreements.

(a) In addition to and without limiting the actions specifically provided for elsewhere in this Agreement and subject to the limitations expressly set forth in this Agreement, including Section 2.6, each of the Parties shall cooperate with each other and use (and shall cause its respective Subsidiaries and Affiliates to use) commercially reasonable efforts, at and after the Effective Time, to take, or to cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or to cause to be done, all things reasonably necessary on its part under applicable Law or contractual obligations to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements.

(b) Without limiting the foregoing, at and after the Effective Time, each Party shall cooperate with the other Party, and without any further consideration, but at the expense of the requesting Party (except as provided in Sections 2.2(b)(ii) and 2.6(c)) from and after the Effective Time, to execute and deliver, or use commercially reasonable efforts to cause to be executed and delivered, all instruments, including instruments of Transfer or title, and to make all filings with, and to obtain all Consents and/or Governmental Approvals, any permit, license, Contract, indenture or other instrument (including any Consents or Governmental Approvals), and to take all such other actions as such Party may reasonably be requested to take by any other Party from time to time, consistent with the terms of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, in order to effectuate the provisions and purposes of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements and the Transfers of the applicable Assets and the assignment and Assumption of the applicable Liabilities and the other transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. Without limiting the foregoing, each Party shall, at the reasonable request, cost and expense of any other Party (except as provided in Sections 2.2(b)(ii) and 2.6(c)), take such other actions as may be reasonably necessary to vest in such other Party such title and such rights as possessed by the transferring Party to the Assets allocated to such other Party under this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements, free and clear of any Security Interest.

(c) Without limiting the foregoing, in the event that any Party (or member of such Partys Group) receives any Assets (including the receipt of payments made pursuant to Contracts and proceeds from accounts receivable with respect to such Asset) or is liable for any Liability that is otherwise allocated to any Person that is a member of the other Group pursuant to this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements, such Party agrees to promptly Transfer, or cause to be Transferred such Asset or Liability to the other Party so entitled thereto (or member of such other Partys Group as designated by such other Party) at such other Partys expense. Prior to any such Transfer, such Asset or Liability, as the case may be, shall be held in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.6.

(d) At or prior to the Effective Time, each of Fortive and Vontier shall enter into, and/or (where applicable) shall cause a member or members of their respective Group to enter into, the Ancillary Agreements and any other Contracts reasonably necessary or appropriate in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.

(e) On or prior to the Distribution Date, Fortive and Vontier in their respective capacities as direct or indirect stockholders of their respective Subsidiaries, shall each ratify any actions that are reasonably necessary or desirable to be taken by any Subsidiary of Fortive or Subsidiary of Vontier, as the case may be, to effectuate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements.

Section 2.9 Novation of Liabilities; Indemnification.

(a) Each Party, at the request of any member of the other Partys Group (such other Party, the Other Party), shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, or to cause to be obtained, any Consent, Governmental Approval, substitution or amendment required to novate or assign to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law all obligations under Contracts (other than Shared Contracts, which shall be governed by Section 2.3) and Liabilities (other than with regard to guarantees or Credit Support Instruments, which shall be governed by Section 2.10), but solely to the extent that the Parties are jointly or each severally liable with regard to any such Contracts or Liabilities and such Contracts or Liabilities have been, in whole, but not in part, allocated to the first Party, or, if permitted by applicable Law, to obtain in writing the unconditional release of the applicable Other Party so that, in any such case, the members of the applicable Group shall be solely responsible for such Contracts or Liabilities; provided, however, that no Party shall be obligated to pay any consideration therefor to any third party from whom any such Consent, Governmental Approval, substitution or amendment is requested (unless such Party is fully reimbursed by the requesting Party). In addition, with respect to any Action where any Party hereto is a defendant, when and if requested by such Party, the Other Party at its own cost will use commercially reasonable efforts to remove the requesting Party as a defendant to the extent that such Action relates solely to Assets or Liabilities that the Other Party (or any member of such requesting Partys Group) has been allocated pursuant to this Article II, and the Other Party will cooperate and assist in any required communication with any plaintiff or other related third party.

(b) If the Parties are unable to obtain, or to cause to be obtained, any such required Consent, Governmental Approval, release, substitution or amendment referenced in Section 2.9(a), the Other Party or a member of such Other Partys Group shall continue to be bound by such Contract, license or other obligation that does not constitute a Liability of such Other Party and, unless not permitted by Law or the terms thereof, as agent or subcontractor for such Party, the Party or member of such Partys Group who Assumed or retained such Liability as set forth in this Agreement (the Liable Party) shall, or shall cause a member of its Group to, pay, perform and discharge fully all the obligations or other Liabilities of such Other Party or member of such Other Partys Group thereunder from and after the Effective Time. For the avoidance of doubt, in furtherance of the foregoing, the Liable Party or a member of such Liable Partys Group, as agent or subcontractor of the Other Party or a member of such Other Partys Group, to the extent reasonably necessary to pay, perform and discharge fully any Liabilities, or retain the benefits (including pursuant to Section 2.6) associated with such Contract or license, is hereby granted the right to, among other things, (i) prepare, execute and submit invoices under such Contract or license in the name of the Other Party (or the applicable member of such Other Partys Group), (ii) send correspondence relating to matters under such Contract or license in the name of the Other Party (or the applicable member of such Other Partys Group), (iii) file Actions in the name of the Other Party (or the applicable member of such Other Partys Group)

in connection with such Contract or license and (iv) otherwise exercise all rights in respect of such Contract or license in the name of the Other Party (or the applicable member of such Other Partys Group); provided that (y) such actions shall be taken in the name of the Other Party (or the applicable member of such Other Partys Group) only to the extent reasonably necessary or advisable in connection with the foregoing and (z) to the extent that there shall be a conflict between the provisions of this Section 2.9(b) and the provisions of any more specific arrangement between a member of such Liable Partys Group and a member of such Other Partys Group, such more specific arrangement shall control. The Liable Party shall indemnify each Other Party and hold each of them harmless against any Liabilities (other than Liabilities of such Other Party) arising in connection therewith; provided, that the Liable Party shall have no obligation to indemnify the Other Party with respect to any matter to the extent that such Liabilities arise from such Other Partys willful breach, knowing violation of Law, fraud, misrepresentation or gross negligence in connection therewith, in which case such Other Party shall be responsible for such Liabilities; it being understood that any exercise of rights under this Agreement by such Other Party shall not be deemed to be willful breach, knowing violation of Law, fraud, misrepresentation or gross negligence. The Other Party shall, without further consideration, promptly pay and remit, or cause to be promptly paid or remitted, to the Liable Party or, at the direction of the Liable Party, to another member of the Liable Partys Group, all money, rights and other consideration received by it or any member of its Group in respect of such performance by the Liable Party (unless any such consideration is an Asset of such Other Party pursuant to this Agreement). If and when any such Consent, Governmental Approval, release, substitution or amendment shall be obtained or such agreement, lease, license or other rights or obligations shall otherwise become assignable or able to be novated, the Other Party shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, promptly Transfer or cause the Transfer of all rights, obligations and other Liabilities thereunder of such Other Party or any member of such Other Partys Group to the Liable Party or to another member of the Liable Partys Group without payment of any further consideration and the Liable Party, or another member of such Liable Partys Group, without the payment of any further consideration, shall Assume such rights and Liabilities to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law. Each of the applicable Parties shall, and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to, take all actions and do all things reasonably necessary on its part, or such Subsidiaries part, under applicable Law or contractual obligations to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Section 2.9.

Section 2.10 Guarantees; Credit Support Instruments.

(a) Except as otherwise specified in any Ancillary Agreement or on Schedule 2.10(a), at or prior to the Effective Time or as soon as practicable thereafter, (i) Fortive shall (with the reasonable cooperation of the applicable member of the Vontier Group) use its commercially reasonable efforts to have each member of the Vontier Group removed as guarantor of or obligor for any Fortive Retained Liability to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, including in respect of those guarantees set forth on Schedule 2.10(a)(i), to the extent that they relate to Fortive Retained Liabilities and (ii) Vontier shall (with the reasonable cooperation of the applicable member of the Fortive Group) use commercially reasonable efforts to have each member of the Fortive Group removed as guarantor of or obligor for any Vontier Liability, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, including in respect of those guarantees set forth on Schedule 2.10(a)(ii), to the extent that they relate to Vontier Liabilities.

(b) At or prior to the Effective Time, to the extent required to obtain a release from a guaranty:

(i) of any member of the Fortive Group, Vontier shall execute a guaranty agreement substantially in the form of the existing guaranty or such other form as is agreed to by the relevant parties to such guaranty agreement, except to the extent that such existing guaranty contains representations, covenants or other terms or provisions either (A) with which Vontier would be reasonably unable to comply or (B) which would be reasonably expected to be breached; and

(ii) of any member of the Vontier Group, Fortive shall execute a guaranty agreement substantially in the form of the existing guaranty or such other form as is agreed to by the relevant parties to such guaranty agreement, except to the extent that such existing guaranty contains representations, covenants or other terms or provisions either (A) with which Fortive would be reasonably unable to comply or (B) which would be reasonably expected to be breached.

(c) If Fortive or Vontier is unable to obtain, or to cause to be obtained, any such required removal as set forth in clauses (a) and (b) of this Section 2.10, (i) Fortive, to the extent a member of the Fortive Group has assumed the underlying Liability with respect to such guaranty or Vontier, to the extent a member of the Vontier Group has assumed the underlying Liability with respect to such guaranty, as the case may be, shall indemnify and hold harmless the guarantor or obligor for any Indemnifiable Loss arising from or relating thereto (in accordance with the provisions of Article V) and shall or shall cause one of its Subsidiaries, as agent or subcontractor for such guarantor or obligor to pay, perform and discharge fully all the obligations or other Liabilities of such guarantor or obligor thereunder, (ii) Vontier shall reimburse the applicable member of the Fortive Group for all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by it arising out of or related to any such guaranty; and (iii) each of Fortive and Vontier, on behalf of themselves and the members of their respective Groups, agree not to renew or extend the term of, increase its obligations under, or Transfer to a third party, any loan, guaranty, lease, contract or other obligation for which another Party or member of such Partys Group is or may be liable without the prior written consent of such other Party, unless all obligations of such other Party and the other members of such Partys Group with respect thereto are thereupon terminated by documentation reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to such Party.

(d) Fortive and Vontier shall cooperate and Vontier shall use commercially reasonable efforts to replace all Credit Support Instruments issued by Fortive or other members of the Fortive Group on behalf of or in favor of any member of the Vontier Group or the Vontier Business (the Fortive CSIs) as promptly as practicable with Credit Support Instruments from Vontier or a member of the Vontier Group as of the Effective Time.

THE DISTRIBUTION AND ACTIONS PENDING THE DISTRIBUTION;

OTHER TRANSACTIONS

Section 3.1 Distribution. At or prior to the Effective Time, in connection with the Distribution, including the transfer of the Vontier Assets to the Vontier Group in the Internal Reorganization whenever made, Vontier shall pay the Consideration to Fortive (or Fortive and Vontier shall take or cause to be taken such other appropriate actions to ensure that Fortive has the requisite number of shares of Vontier Common Stock) and take any other action as may be requested by Fortive in order to effect the Distribution. Subject to the conditions and other terms set forth in this Article III, Fortive shall cause the Distribution Agent on the Distribution Date to make the Distribution, including by crediting the appropriate number of shares of Vontier Common Stock to book-entry accounts for each Record Holder or designated transferee or transferees of such Record Holder. For Record Holders who own Fortive Common Stock through a broker or other nominee, their shares of Vontier Common Stock will be credited to their respective accounts by such broker or nominee. No action by any Record Holder (or such Record Holders designated transferee or transferees) shall be necessary to receive the applicable number of shares of Vontier Common Stock (and, if applicable, cash in lieu of any fractional shares) such stockholder is entitled to in the Distribution.

Section 3.2 Fractional Shares. Record Holders who, after aggregating the number of shares of Vontier Common Stock (or fractions thereof) to which such stockholder would be entitled on the Record Date, would be entitled to receive a fraction of a share of Vontier Common Stock in the Distribution, will receive cash in lieu of fractional shares.

Fractional shares of Vontier Common Stock will not be distributed in the Distribution nor credited to book-entry accounts. The Distribution Agent shall, as soon as practicable after the Distribution Date (a) determine the number of whole shares and fractional shares of Vontier Common Stock allocable to each Record Holder, (b) aggregate all such fractional shares into whole shares and sell the whole shares obtained thereby in open market transactions at then prevailing trading prices on behalf of holders who would otherwise be entitled to fractional share interests, and (c) distribute to each such holder, or for the benefit of each such beneficial owner, such holders or owners ratable share of the net proceeds of such sale, based upon the average gross selling price per share of Vontier Common Stock after making appropriate deductions for any amount required to be withheld for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Fortive shall bear the cost of brokerage fees and transfer Taxes incurred in connection with these sales of fractional shares, which such sales shall occur as soon after the Distribution Date as practicable and as determined by the Distribution Agent. None of Fortive, Vontier or the applicable Distribution Agent will guarantee any minimum sale price for the fractional shares of Vontier Common Stock. Neither Fortive nor Vontier will pay any interest on the proceeds from the sale of fractional shares. The Distribution Agent will have the sole discretion to select the broker-dealers through which to sell the aggregated fractional shares and to determine when, how and at what price to sell such shares. Neither the Distribution Agent nor the selected broker-dealers will be Affiliates of Fortive or Vontier.

(i) Fortive, for itself and each member of the Fortive Group, its Affiliates as of the Effective Time and, to the extent permitted by Law, all Persons who at any time prior to the Effective Time were directors, officers, agents or employees of any member of the Fortive Group (in their respective capacities as such), in each case, together with their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns, does hereby remise, release and forever discharge Vontier and the other members of the Vontier Group, its Affiliates and all Persons who at any time prior to the Effective Time were stockholders, directors, officers, agents or employees of any member of the Vontier Group (in their respective capacities as such), in each case, together with their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns, from any and all Fortive Retained Liabilities, whether at Law or in equity (including any right of contribution), whether arising under any Contract, by operation of Law or otherwise, in each case, existing or arising from any acts or events occurring or failing to occur or alleged to have occurred or to have failed to occur or any conditions existing or alleged to have existed on or before the Distribution Date, including in connection with the Internal Reorganization and the Distribution and any of the other transactions contemplated hereunder and under the Ancillary Agreements (such liabilities, the Fortive Released Liabilities) and in any event shall not, and shall cause its respective Subsidiaries not to, bring any Action against any member of the Vontier Groups in respect of any Fortive Released Liabilities; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 5.1(a)(i) shall relieve any Person released in this Section 5.1(a)(i) who, after the Effective Time, is a director, officer or employee of any member of the Vontier Group and is no longer a director, officer or employee of any member of the Fortive Group from Liabilities arising out of, relating to or resulting from his or her service as a director, officer or employee of any member of the Vontier Group after the Effective Time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit Fortive, any member of the Fortive Group, or their respective Affiliates from commencing any Actions against any Vontier officer, director, agent or employee, or their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns with regard to matters arising from, or relating to, (i) theft of Fortive Know-How or (ii) intentional criminal acts by any such officers, directors, agents or employees.

(ii) Vontier, for itself and each member of the Vontier Group, its Affiliates as of the Effective Time and, to the extent permitted by Law, all Persons who at any time prior to the Effective Time were directors, officers, agents or employees of any member of the Vontier Group (in their respective capacities as such), in each case, together with their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns, does hereby remise, release and forever discharge Fortive and the other members of the Fortive Group, its Affiliates and all Persons who at any time prior to the Effective Time were stockholders, directors, officers, agents or employees of any member of the Fortive Group (in their respective capacities as such), in each case, together with their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns, from any and all Vontier Liabilities, whether at Law or in equity (including any right of contribution), whether arising under any Contract, by operation of Law or otherwise, in each case, existing or arising from any acts or events occurring or failing to occur or alleged to have occurred or to have failed to occur or any conditions existing or alleged to have existed on or before the Distribution Date, including in connection with the Internal Reorganization

and the Distribution and any of the other transactions contemplated hereunder and under the Ancillary Agreements (such liabilities, the Vontier Released Liabilities) and in any event shall not, and shall cause its respective Subsidiaries not to, bring any Action against any member of the Fortive Group in respect of any Vontier Released Liabilities; provided, however that for purposes of this Section 5.1(a)(ii), the members of the Vontier Group shall also release and discharge any officers or other employees of any member of the Fortive Group, to the extent any such officers or employees served as a director or officer of any members of the Vontier Group prior to the Effective Time, from any and all Liability, obligation or responsibility for any and all past actions or failures to take action, in each case in their capacity as a director or officer of any such member of the Vontier Group, prior to the Effective Time, including actions or failures to take action that may be deemed to have been negligent or grossly negligent.

(b) Nothing contained in this Agreement, including Section 5.1(a), Section 2.4(a) or Section 2.5, shall impair or otherwise affect any right of any Party and, as applicable, a member of such Partys Group, as well as their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns, to enforce this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement or any agreements, arrangements, commitments or understandings contemplated in this Agreement or in any Ancillary Agreement to continue in effect after the Effective Time. In addition, nothing contained in Section 5.1(a) shall release any person from:

(i) any Liability Assumed, Transferred or allocated to a Party or a member of such Partys Group pursuant to or as contemplated by, or any other Liability of any member of such Group under, this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, including (A) with respect to Fortive, any Fortive Retained Liability and (B) with respect to Vontier, any Vontier Liability;

(ii) any Liability provided for in or resulting from any other Contract or arrangement that is entered into after the Effective Time between any Party (and/or a member of such Partys or Parties Group), on the one hand, and any other Party or Parties (and/or a member of such Partys or Parties Group), on the other hand;

(iii) any Liability with respect to any Continuing Arrangements;

(iv) any Liability that the Parties may have with respect to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise for Actions brought against the Parties by third Persons, which Liability shall be governed by the provisions of this Agreement and, in particular, this Article V and, if applicable, the appropriate provisions of the Ancillary Agreements; and

(v) any Liability the release of which would result in a release of any Person other than the Persons released in Section 5.1(a); provided that the Parties agree not to bring any Action or permit any other member of their respective Group to bring any Action against a Person released in Section 5.1(a) with respect to such Liability.

In addition, nothing contained in Section 5.1(a) shall release: (i) Fortive from indemnifying any director, officer or employee of the Vontier Group who was a director, officer or employee of Fortive or any of its Affiliates prior to the Distribution Date, as the case may be, to the extent such director, officer or employee is or becomes a named defendant in any Action with respect to which he or she was entitled to such indemnification pursuant to then-existing obligations; it being understood that if the underlying obligation giving rise to such Action is a Vontier Liability, Vontier shall indemnify Fortive for such Liability (including Fortives costs to indemnify the director, officer or employee) in accordance with the provisions set forth in this Article V; and (ii) Vontier from indemnifying any director, officer or employee of the Fortive Group who was a director, officer or employee of Vontier or any of its Affiliates prior to the Distribution Date, as the case may be, to the extent such director, officer or employee is or becomes a named defendant in any Action with respect to which he or she was entitled to such indemnification pursuant to then-existing obligations; it being understood that if the underlying obligation giving rise to such Action is a Fortive Retained Liability, Fortive shall indemnify Vontier for such Liability (including Vontiers costs to indemnify the director, officer or employee) in accordance with the provisions set forth in this Article V.

(c) Each Party shall not, and shall not permit any member of its Group to, make any claim for offset, or commence any Action, including any claim of contribution or any indemnification, against any other Party or any member of any other Partys Group, or any other Person released pursuant to Section 5.1(a), with respect to any Liabilities released pursuant to Section 5.1(a).

(d) If any Person associated with a Party (including any director, officer or employee of a Party) initiates any Action with respect to claims released by this Section 5.1, the Party with which such Person is associated shall be responsible for the fees and expenses of counsel of the other Party (and/or the members of such Partys Group, as applicable) and such other Party shall be indemnified for all Liabilities incurred in connection with such Action in accordance with the provisions set forth in this Article V.

Section 5.2 Indemnification by Fortive. In addition to any other provisions of this Agreement requiring indemnification and except as otherwise specifically set forth in any provision of this Agreement or of any Ancillary Agreement, following the Effective Time, Fortive shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Vontier Indemnitees from and against any and all Indemnifiable Losses of the Vontier Indemnitees to the extent relating to, arising out of, by reason of or otherwise in connection with (a) the Fortive Retained Liabilities, including the failure of any member of the Fortive Group or any other Person to pay, perform or otherwise discharge any Fortive Retained Liability in accordance with its respective terms, whether arising prior to, at or after the Effective Time, (b) any Fortive Retained Asset or Fortive Retained Business, whether arising prior to, at or after the Effective Time, or (c) any breach by Fortive of any provision of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement unless such Ancillary Agreement expressly provides for separate indemnification therein, in which case any such indemnification claims shall be made thereunder.

Section 5.3 Indemnification by Vontier. In addition to any other provisions of this Agreement requiring indemnification and except as otherwise specifically set forth in any provision of this Agreement or of any Ancillary Agreement, following the Effective Time, Vontier shall and shall cause the other members of the Vontier Group to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Fortive Indemnitees from and against any and all Indemnifiable Losses of the Fortive Indemnitees to the extent relating to, arising out of, by reason of or otherwise in connection with (a) the Vontier Liabilities, including the failure of any member of the Vontier Group or any other Person to pay, perform or otherwise discharge any Vontier Liability in accordance with its respective terms, whether prior to, at or after the Effective Time, (b) any Vontier Asset or Vontier Business, whether arising prior to, at or after the Effective Time, (c) any breach by Vontier of any provision of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement unless such Ancillary Agreement expressly provides for separate indemnification therein, in which case any such indemnification claims shall be made thereunder, or (d) any Liabilities of the Fortive Group under any of the agreements listed on Schedule 5.3.

Section 5.4 Procedures for Indemnification.

(a) Other than with respect to Third Party Claims, which shall be governed by Section 5.4(b), each Fortive Indemnitee and Vontier Indemnitee (each, an Indemnitee) shall notify in writing, with respect to any matter that such Indemnitee has determined has given or could give rise to a right of indemnification under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, the Party which is or may be required pursuant to this Article V or pursuant to any Ancillary Agreement to make such indemnification (the Indemnifying Party), within forty-five (45) days of such determination, stating in such written notice the amount of the Indemnifiable Loss claimed, if known, and, to the extent practicable, method of computation thereof, and referring to the provisions of this Agreement in respect of which such right of indemnification is claimed by such Indemnitee or arises; provided, however, that the failure to provide such written notice shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations except and solely to the extent the Indemnifying Party shall have been actually materially prejudiced as a result of such failure. The Indemnifying Party will have a period of forty-five (45) days after receipt of a notice under this Section 5.4(a) within which to respond thereto. If the Indemnifying Party fails to respond within such period, the Liability specified in such notice from the Indemnitee shall be conclusively determined to be a Liability of the Indemnifying Party hereunder. If such Indemnifying Party responds within such period and rejects such claim in whole or in part, the disputed matter shall be resolved in accordance with Article VII.

(b) If a claim or demand is made against an Indemnitee by any Person who is not a party to this Agreement (a Third Party Claim) as to which such Indemnitee is or may be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, such Indemnitee shall notify the Indemnifying Party in writing (which notice obligation may be satisfied by providing copies of all notices and documents received by the Indemnitee relating to the Third Party Claim), and in reasonable detail, of the Third Party Claim promptly (and in any event within the earlier of (x) forty-five (45) days or (y) two (2) Business Days prior to the final date of the applicable response period under such Third Party Claim) after receipt by such Indemnitee of written notice of the Third Party Claim; provided, however, that the failure to provide notice of any such Third Party Claim pursuant to this or the preceding sentence shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations except and solely to the extent the Indemnifying Party shall have been actually materially prejudiced as a result of such failure. Thereafter, the Indemnitee shall deliver to the Indemnifying Party, promptly (and in any event within ten (10) Business Days) after the Indemnitees receipt thereof, copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Indemnitee relating to the Third Party Claim. For all purposes of this Section 5.4(b), each Party shall be deemed to have notice of the matters set forth on Schedule 1.1(152)(vii).

(c) Other than in the case of (i) Taxes addressed in the Tax Matters Agreement, which shall be addressed as set forth therein or (ii) indemnification by a beneficiary Party of a guarantor Party pursuant to Section 2.10(c) (the defense of which shall be controlled by the beneficiary Party), the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled, if it so chooses, to assume the defense thereof, and if it does not assume the defense of such Third Party Claim, to participate in the defense of any Third Party Claim in accordance with the terms of Section 5.5 at such Indemnifying Partys own cost and expense and by such Indemnifying Partys own counsel, that is reasonably acceptable to the Indemnitee, within thirty (30) days of the receipt of an indemnification notice from such Indemnitee; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim to the extent such Third Party Claim (x) is an Action by a Governmental Entity, (y) involves an allegation of a criminal violation or (z) seeks injunctive relief against the Indemnitee. In connection with the Indemnifying Partys defense of a Third Party Claim, such Indemnitee shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in (but not control) the defense, compromise, or settlement thereof, at its own expense and, in any event, shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in such defense and make available to the Indemnifying Party, at the Indemnifying Partys expense, all witnesses, pertinent Information, materials and information in such Indemnitees possession or under such Indemnitees control relating thereto as are reasonably required by the Indemnifying Party; provided, however, that in the event of a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the applicable Indemnitee(s), or in the event that any Third Party Claim seeks equitable relief which would restrict or limit the future conduct of the Indemnitees business or operations, such Indemnitee(s) shall be entitled to retain, at the Indemnifying Partys expense, separate counsel as required by the applicable rules of professional conduct with respect to such matter; provided, further, that if the Indemnifying Party has assumed the defense of the Third Party Claim but has specified, and continues to assert, any reservations or exceptions to such defense or to its liability therefor, then, in any such case, the reasonable fees and expenses of one separate counsel for all Indemnitees shall be borne by the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to compromise or settle a Third Party Claim the defense of which it shall have assumed pursuant to this Section 5.4(c) and any such settlement or compromise made or caused to be made of a Third Party Claim in accordance with this Article V shall be binding on the Indemnitee, in the same manner as if a final judgment or decree had been entered by a court of competent jurisdiction in the amount of such settlement or compromise. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the Indemnifying Party shall not settle any such Third Party Claim without the written consent of the Indemnitee unless such settlement (A) completely and unconditionally releases the Indemnitee in connection with such matter, (B) provides relief consisting solely of money damages borne by the Indemnifying Party and (C) does not involve any admission by the Indemnitee of any wrongdoing or violation of Law.

(d) If an Indemnifying Party fails for any reason to assume responsibility for defending a Third Party Claim within the period specified in this Section 5.4, such Indemnitee may defend such Third Party Claim at the cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party. If an Indemnifying Party has failed to assume the defense of the Third Party Claim within the time period specified in clause (c) above, it shall not be a defense to any obligation to pay

any amount in respect of such Third Party Claim that the Indemnifying Party was not consulted in the defense thereof, that such Indemnifying Partys views or opinions as to the conduct of such defense were not accepted or adopted, that such Indemnifying Party does not approve of the quality or manner of the defense thereof or that such Third Party Claim was incurred by reason of a settlement rather than by a judgment or other determination of liability.

(e) Except as otherwise set forth in Section 6.5 and Section 7.3, or to the extent set forth in any Ancillary Agreement, absent fraud or willful misconduct by an Indemnifying Party, the indemnification provisions of this Article V shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of an Indemnitee for any monetary or compensatory damages or losses resulting from any breach of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement and each Indemnitee expressly waives and relinquishes any and all rights, claims or remedies such Person may have with respect to the foregoing other than under this Article V against any Indemnifying Party. For the avoidance of doubt, all disputes in respect of this Article V shall be resolved in accordance with Article VII.

(f) Each Party hereby covenants and agrees that none of it, its Subsidiaries or any Person claiming through it shall bring suit or otherwise assert any claim against any Indemnitee, or assert a defense against any claim asserted by any Indemnitee, before any court, arbitrator, mediator or administrative agency anywhere in the world, alleging that: (a) the assumption of any Fortive Liabilities by the Vontier Group the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements is void or unenforceable for any reason; (b) the retention of any Fortive Liabilities by the Fortive Group on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements is void or unenforceable for any reason, or (c) the provisions of this Article V are void or unenforceable for any reason.

(g) Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent any Ancillary Agreement provides procedures for indemnification that differ from the provisions set forth in this Section 5.4, the terms of the Ancillary Agreement will govern.

(h) The provisions of this Article V shall apply to Third Party Claims that are already pending or asserted as well as Third Party Claims brought or asserted after the date of this Agreement. There shall be no requirement under this Section 5.4 to give a notice with respect to any Third Party Claim that exists as of the Effective Time. The Parties acknowledge that Liabilities for Actions (regardless of the parties to the Actions) may be partly Fortive Liabilities and partly Vontier Liabilities. If the Parties cannot agree on the allocation of any such Liabilities for Actions, they shall resolve the matter pursuant to the procedures set forth in Article VII. Neither Party shall, nor shall either Party permit its Subsidiaries to, file Third Party Claims or cross-claims against the other Party or its Subsidiaries in an Action in which a Third Party Claim is being resolved.

Section 5.5 Cooperation in Defense and Settlement.

(a) With respect to any Third Party Claim that implicates both Parties in any material respect due to the allocation of Liabilities, responsibilities for management of defense and related indemnities pursuant to this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements, the Parties agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate fully and maintain a joint

defense (in a manner that, to the extent reasonably practicable, will preserve for all Parties any Privilege with respect thereto). The Party that is not responsible for managing the defense of any such Third Party Claim shall, upon reasonable request, be consulted with respect to significant matters relating thereto and may, if necessary or helpful, retain counsel to assist in the defense of such claims. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 5.5(a) shall derogate from any Partys rights to control the defense of any Action in accordance with Section 5.4.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, with respect to any Action (i) by a Governmental Entity against Vontier relating to matters involving anti-bribery, anti-corruption, anti-money laundering, export control and similar laws, where the facts and circumstances giving rise to the Action occurred prior to the Effective Time or (ii) where the resolution of such Action by order, judgment, settlement or otherwise, could include any condition, limitation or other stipulation that could, in the reasonable judgment of Fortive, adversely impact the conduct of the Fortive Retained Businesses, Fortive shall have, at Fortives expense, the reasonable opportunity to consult, advise and comment in all preparation, planning and strategy regarding any such Action, including with regard to any drafts of notices and other conferences and communications to be provided or submitted by Vontier to any third party involved in such Action (including any Governmental Entity), to the extent that Fortives participation does not affect any privilege in a material and adverse manner; provided that to the extent that any such action requires the submission by Vontier of any content relating to any current or former officer or director of Fortive, such content will only be submitted in a form approved by Fortive in its reasonable discretion. With regard to the matters specified in the preceding clauses (i) and (ii), Fortive shall have a right to consent to any compromise or settlement related thereto.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, with respect to any notices or reports to be submitted to, or reporting, disclosure, filing or other requirements to be made with, any Governmental Entity by Vontier or its Subsidiaries (Governmental Filing) where the Governmental Filing requires disclosure of facts, information or data that relate, in whole or in part, to periods prior to the Effective Time, Fortive shall have the reasonable opportunity to consult, advise and comment on the preparation and content of any such Governmental Filing in advance of its submission to a Governmental Entity, and Vontier shall in good faith consider and take into account any comments so provided by Fortive with respect to such Governmental Filing.

(d) Each of Fortive and Vontier agrees that at all times from and after the Effective Time, if an Action is commenced by a third party naming two (2) or more Parties (or any member of such Parties respective Groups) as defendants and with respect to which one or more named Parties (or any member of such Partys respective Group) is a nominal defendant and/or such Action is otherwise not a Liability allocated to such named Party under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, then the other Party or Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts at its own expense to cause such nominal defendant to be removed from such Action, as soon as reasonably practicable.

Section 5.6 Indemnification Payments. Indemnification required by this Article V shall be made by periodic payments of the amount of Indemnifiable Losses in a timely fashion during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or an Indemnifiable Loss incurred.

Section 5.7 Indemnification Obligations Net of Insurance Proceeds and Other Amounts.

(a) Any recovery by any Indemnitee for any Indemnifiable Loss subject to indemnification pursuant to this Article V shall be calculated (i) net of Insurance Proceeds actually received by such Indemnitee with respect to any Indemnifiable Loss (which such proceeds shall be reduced by the present value, based on that Partys then cost of short-term borrowing, of future premium increases known at such time) and (ii) net of any proceeds actually received by the Indemnitee from any unaffiliated third party with respect to any such Liability corresponding to the Indemnifiable Loss (Third Party Proceeds). Accordingly, the amount which any Indemnifying Party is required to pay pursuant to this Article V to any Indemnitee pursuant to this Article V shall be reduced by any Insurance Proceeds or Third Party Proceeds theretofore actually recovered by or on behalf of the Indemnitee corresponding to the related Indemnifiable Loss. If an Indemnitee receives a payment required by this Agreement from an Indemnifying Party corresponding to any Indemnifiable Loss (an Indemnity Payment) and subsequently receives Insurance Proceeds or Third Party Proceeds, then the Indemnitee shall pay to the Indemnifying Party an amount equal to the excess of the Indemnity Payment received over the amount of the Indemnity Payment that would have been due if the Insurance Proceeds or Third Party Proceeds had been received, realized or recovered before the Indemnity Payment was made.

(b) Any Indemnity Payment shall be increased as necessary so that after making all payments corresponding to Taxes imposed on or attributable to such Indemnity Payment, the Indemnitee receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such Taxes been imposed.

(c) The Parties hereby agree that an insurer or other third party that would otherwise be obligated to pay any amount shall not be relieved of the responsibility with respect thereto or have any subrogation rights with respect thereto by virtue of any provision contained in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, and that no insurer or any other third party shall be entitled to a windfall (e.g., a benefit they would not otherwise be entitled to receive, or the reduction or elimination of an insurance coverage obligation that they would otherwise have, in the absence of the indemnification or release provisions) by virtue of any provision contained in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement. Each Party shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, use commercially reasonable efforts to collect or recover, or allow the Indemnifying Party to collect or recover, or cooperate with each other in collecting or recovering, any Insurance Proceeds that may be collectible or recoverable respecting the Liabilities for which indemnification may be available under this Article V. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Indemnifying Party may not delay making any indemnification payment required under the terms of this Agreement, or otherwise satisfying any indemnification obligation, pending the outcome of any Actions to collect or recover Insurance Proceeds, and an Indemnitee need not attempt to collect any Insurance Proceeds prior to making a claim for indemnification or receiving any Indemnity Payment otherwise owed to it under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement.

Section 5.8 Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Article V is unavailable for any reason to an Indemnitee (other than failure to provide notice with respect to any Third Party Claims in accordance with Section 5.4(b)) in respect of any Indemnifiable Loss, then the Indemnifying Party shall, in accordance with this Section 5.8, contribute to the Indemnifiable Losses incurred, paid or payable by such Indemnitee as a result of such Indemnifiable Loss in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of Vontier and each other member of the Vontier Group, on the one hand, and Fortive and each other member of the Fortive Group, on the other hand, in connection with the circumstances which resulted in such Indemnifiable Loss. With respect to any Indemnifiable Losses arising out of or related to information contained in the Distribution Disclosure Documents or other securities law filing, the relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission of a material fact relates to information supplied by the Vontier Business of a member of the Vontier Group, on the one hand, or the Fortive Retained Business or a member of the Fortive Group, on the other hand.

Section 5.9 Additional Matters; Survival of Indemnities.

(a) The indemnity agreements contained in this Article V shall remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of (i) any investigation made by or on behalf of any Indemnitee; and (ii) the knowledge by the Indemnitee of Indemnifiable Losses for which it might be entitled to indemnification hereunder. The indemnity agreements contained in this Article V shall survive the Distribution.

(b) The rights and obligations of any member of the Fortive Group or any member of the Vontier Group, in each case, under this Article V shall survive (i) the sale or other Transfer by any Party or its Affiliates of any Assets or businesses or the assignment by it of any Liabilities and (ii) any merger, consolidation, business combination, restructuring, recapitalization, reorganization or similar transaction involving either Party or any of its Subsidiaries.

Section 5.10 Environmental Matters.

(a) Exchange of Information. Without limiting any other provision of this Agreement, each of Fortive and Vontier agrees to provide, or cause to be provided, at any time before, at, or after the Effective Time, as soon as reasonably practicable after written request therefore, reasonable access to any non-privileged information in the possession or under the control of such respective Group and reasonable access to its employees to the extent that (i) such information relates to, or such employees have relevant knowledge regarding, specific alleged Environmental Liabilities, including the requesting partys alleged or potential link to environmental contamination at an Off-Site Location or real property that was allegedly owned or operated by the Fortive Group and any operating group, business unit, division, Subsidiary, line of business or investment of Fortive or any of its Subsidiaries (including any member of the Vontier Group) prior to the Effective Time; or (ii) such information relates to, or such employees have relevant knowledge regarding, the impact that any alleged Environmental Liability could have on the operations, activities or liability exposure of the requesting party; and (iii) the information and access to employees can be provided without significant disruption to the Groups business or operations.

(b) Substitution.

(i) Vontier shall use its best efforts to obtain any consents, transfers, assignments, assumptions, waivers, or other legal instruments necessary to cause Vontier or the appropriate Subsidiary of Vontier to be fully substituted for Fortive or other member of the Fortive Group with respect to: (i) any order, decree, judgment, agreement or Action with respect to Vontier Environmental Liabilities that are in effect as of the Effective Time; or (ii) Environmental Permits, financial assurance obligations or instruments, or other environmental approvals or filings associated with the Vontier Assets. Vontier shall inform the applicable Governmental Entity about its assumption of the Environmental Liabilities associated with the matters listed on this Section 5.10(b) and request that the Governmental Entities direct all communications, requirements, notifications and/or official letters related to such matters to Vontier. Fortive shall use its best efforts to provide necessary assistance or signatures to Vontier to achieve the purposes of this section.

(ii) Until such time as Vontier and Fortive complete the substitutions outlined in Section 5.10(b)(i) above, Vontier shall comply with all applicable Environmental Laws, including all reporting obligations, and the terms and conditions of all orders, decrees, judgments, agreements, actions, Environmental Permits, financial assurances, obligations, instruments or other environmental approvals or filings that remain in Fortives name relating to the Vontier Assets and the Vontier Environmental Liabilities.

ARTICLE VI

PRESERVATION OF RECORDS; ACCESS TO INFORMATION;

CONFIDENTIALITY; PRIVILEGE

Section 6.1 Preservation of Corporate Records. Except as otherwise required or agreed in writing, or as otherwise provided in any Ancillary Agreement, with regard to any Information referenced in Section 6.2, each Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts, at such Partys sole cost and expense, to retain, until the latest of, as applicable, (i) the date on which such Information is no longer required to be retained pursuant to the applicable record retention policy of Fortive or such other member of the Fortive Group, respectively, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, including pursuant to any litigation hold issued by Fortive or any of its Subsidiaries prior to the Effective Time, (ii) the concluding date of any period as may be required by any applicable Law, (iii) the concluding date of any period during which such Information relates to a pending or threatened Action which is known to the members of the Fortive Group or the Vontier Group, as applicable, in possession of such Information at the time any retention obligation with regard to such Information would otherwise expire, and (iv) the concluding date of any period during which the destruction of such Information could interfere with a pending or threatened investigation by a Governmental Entity which is known to the members of the Fortive Group or the Vontier Group, as applicable, in

possession of such Information at the time any retention obligation with regard to such Information would otherwise expire; provided that with respect to any pending or threatened Action arising after the Effective Time, clause (iii) of this sentence applies only to the extent that whichever member of the Fortive Group or the Vontier Group, as applicable, is in possession of such Information has been notified in writing pursuant to a litigation hold by the other Party of the relevant pending or threatened Action. The Parties agree that upon written request from the other that certain Information relating to the Vontier Business, the Fortive Retained Businesses or the transactions contemplated hereby be retained in connection with an Action, the Parties shall use reasonable efforts to preserve and not to destroy or dispose of such Information without the consent of the requesting Party.

Section 6.2 Access to Information. Other than in circumstances in which indemnification is sought pursuant to Article V (in which event the provisions of such Article V shall govern) or for matters related to provision of Tax Records (in which event the provisions of the Tax Matters Agreement shall govern) and subject to appropriate restrictions for Privileged Information or Confidential Information:

Section 6.6 Privilege Matters.

(a) Pre-Effective Time Services. The Parties recognize that legal and other professional services that have been and will be provided prior to the Effective Time have been and will be rendered for the collective benefit of each of the members of the Fortive Group and the Vontier Group, and that each of the members of the Fortive Group and the Vontier Group should be deemed to be the client with respect to such pre-Effective Time services for the purposes of asserting all privileges, immunities, or other protections from disclosure which may be asserted under applicable Law, including attorney-client privilege, business strategy privilege, joint defense privilege, common interest privilege, and protection under the work-product doctrine (Privilege). The Parties shall have a shared Privilege with respect to all Information subject to Privilege (Privileged Information) which relates to such pre-Effective Time services. For the avoidance of doubt, Privileged Information within the scope of this Section 6.6 includes, but is not limited to, services rendered by legal counsel retained or employed by any Party (or any member of such Partys respective Group), including outside counsel and in-house counsel.

(b) Post-Effective Time Services. The Parties recognize that legal and other professional services will be provided following the Effective Time to each of Fortive and Vontier. The Parties further recognize that certain of such post-Effective Time services will be rendered solely for the benefit of Fortive or Vontier, as the case may be, while other such post-Effective Time services may be rendered with respect to claims, proceedings, litigation, disputes, or other matters which involve both Fortive and Vontier. With respect to such post-Effective Time services and related Privileged Information, the Parties agree as follows:

(i) All Privileged Information relating to any claims, proceedings, litigation, disputes or other matters which involve both Fortive and Vontier shall be subject to a shared Privilege among the Parties involved in the claims, proceedings, litigation, disputes, or other matters at issue; and

(ii) Except as otherwise provided in Section 6.6(c)(i), Privileged Information relating to post-Effective Time services provided solely to one of Fortive or Vontier shall not be deemed shared between the Parties, provided, that the foregoing shall not be construed or interpreted to restrict the right or authority of the Parties (x) to enter into any further agreement, not otherwise inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement, concerning the sharing of Privileged Information or (y) otherwise to share Privileged Information without waiving any Privilege which could be asserted under applicable Law.

(c) The Parties agree as follows regarding all Privileged Information with respect to which the Parties shall have a shared Privilege under Section 6.6(a) or (b):

(i) Subject to Section 6.6(c)(iii) and (iv), Vontier may not waive, allege or purport to waive, any Privilege which could be asserted under any applicable Law, and in which Fortive has a shared Privilege, without the consent of Fortive, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Consent shall be in writing, or shall be deemed to be granted unless written objection is made within fifteen (15) days after written notice by Vontier to Fortive. Fortive shall be entitled, in its sole discretion to waive, allege or purport to waive, any Privilege in connection with any Privileged Information, whether or not the Privileged Information is in the possession or under the control of any member of the Fortive Group or any member of the Vontier Group;

(ii) If a dispute arises between or among the Parties or their respective Subsidiaries regarding whether a Privilege should be waived to protect or advance the interest of any Party, each Party agrees that it shall negotiate in good faith, and shall endeavor to minimize any prejudice to the rights of the other Party. Fortive shall not unreasonably withhold consent to any request for waiver by Vontier and specifically agrees that it shall not withhold consent to waive for any purpose except to protect its own legitimate interests;

(iii) If, within fifteen (15) days of receipt by Vontier of written objection, the Parties have not succeeded in negotiating a resolution to any dispute regarding whether a Privilege should be waived, and Vontier determines that a Privilege should nonetheless be waived to protect or advance its interest, Vontier shall provide Fortive fifteen (15) days written notice prior to effecting such waiver. Each Party specifically agrees that failure within fifteen (15) days of receipt of such notice to commence proceedings in accordance with Section 7.2 to enjoin such disclosure under applicable Law shall be deemed full and effective consent to such disclosure, and any such Privilege shall not be waived by Vontier under the final determination of such dispute in accordance with Section 7.2; and

(iv) In the event of any litigation or dispute between the Parties, or any members of their respective Groups, either such Party may waive a Privilege in which the other Party or member of such Group has a shared Privilege, without obtaining the consent of the other Party; provided that such waiver of a shared Privilege shall be effective only as to the use of Privileged Information with respect to the litigation or dispute between the Parties and/or the applicable members of their respective Groups, and shall not operate as a waiver of the shared Privilege with respect to third parties.

(d) The transfer of all Information pursuant to this Agreement is made in reliance on the agreement of Fortive or Vontier as set forth in Section 6.5 and this Section 6.6, to maintain the confidentiality of Privileged Information and to assert and maintain any applicable Privilege. The access to Information being granted pursuant to Section 5.5, Section 6.1 and Section 6.2, the agreement to provide witnesses and individuals pursuant to Section 5.5 and Section 6.3, the furnishing of notices and documents and other cooperative efforts contemplated by Section 5.5, and the transfer of Privileged Information between the Parties and their respective Subsidiaries pursuant to this Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver of any Privilege that has been or may be asserted under this Agreement or otherwise.

Section 6.7 Ownership of Information. Any Information owned by one Party or any of its Subsidiaries that is provided to a requesting Party pursuant to this Article VI shall be deemed to remain the property of the providing Party. Unless expressly set forth herein, nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as granting a license or other rights to any Party with respect to any such Information, whether by implication, estoppel or otherwise.

Section 6.8 Personal Data.

(a) The Parties acknowledge that (i) Fortive is a Data Controller with respect to the Processing of the Fortive Personal Data prior to and after the Effective Time, (ii) Fortive and Vontier are separate Data Controllers with respect to the Processing of Vontier Personal Data prior to the Effective Time, and (iii) Vontier remains a Data Controller with respect to the Processing of the Vontier Personal Data from and after the Effective Time.

(b) Both Parties shall cooperate to ensure that their Processing of Personal Data hereunder does and will comply with all applicable Data Protection Laws and take all reasonable precautions to avoid acts that place the other Party in breach of its obligations under any applicable Data Protection Laws. Nothing in this Section 6.8 shall be deemed to prevent any Party from taking the steps it reasonably deems necessary to comply with any applicable Data Protection Laws.

Section 6.9 Other Agreements. The rights and obligations granted under this Article VI are subject to any specific limitations, qualifications or additional provisions on the sharing, exchange or confidential treatment of Information set forth in any Ancillary Agreement.

ARTICLE VII

In the event any Party makes application to any court in connection with this Section 7.4 (including any proceedings to enforce a final award or any Interim Relief), that party shall take all steps reasonably within its power to cause such application, and any exhibits (including copies of any award or decisions of the Arbitral Tribunal or Emergency Arbitrator) to be filed under seal, shall oppose any challenge by any third party to such sealing, and shall give the other Party immediate notice of such challenge.

Section 7.5 Continuity of Service and Performance. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the Parties shall continue to provide service and honor all other commitments under this Agreement and each Ancillary Agreement during the course of dispute resolution pursuant to the provisions of this Article VII with respect to all matters not subject to such dispute resolution.

Section 7.6 Consolidation.

(b) Notwithstanding Section 8.1(a), from and after the Effective Time, with respect to any Liability accrued and/or incurred by Vontier or its predecessors prior to the Effective Time, Fortive may, at its sole discretion, provide Vontier with access to, and, if and to the extent determined by Fortive in its discretion, Vontier and Fortive may jointly make claims under, the Company Policies if and solely to the extent that the terms of such policies provide for such coverage to Vontier or its predecessors with respect to any Vontier Liabilities accrued and/or incurred prior to the Effective Time, and subject to the terms and conditions of such insurance policies, including any limits on coverage or scope, any deductibles and other fees and expenses, and subject to the following additional conditions:

(i) Vontier shall inform Fortive of any potential claim under any of the Company Policies with regard to any Vontier Liability and Fortive shall determine whether and at what time to report any such claims under such Company Policies directly to the applicable insurance company, and to submit a claim for coverage thereunder, and Fortive shall provide a copy of all such claim reports and submissions to Vontier; provided, that with respect to any such claims, Vontier shall provide Fortive with the information regarding the claims and provide recommendations with regard to the reporting and submission of such claims, and Fortive shall consult with Vontier with regard to the timing thereof;

(ii) If and to the extent that Vontier is the sole entity recovering insurance proceeds under one or more of the Company Policies in respect of a particular claim for coverage, Vontier shall exclusively bear and be responsible for (and Fortive shall have no obligation to repay or reimburse Vontier for) and pay the applicable insurers as required under the applicable Company Policies for any and all costs as a result of having access to, or making claims under, such Policies, including any amounts of deductibles and self-insured retention associated with such claims, claim handling and

(iv) in connection with making any joint claim under any Company Policies pursuant to this Section 8.1(b), Fortive shall control the administration of all such claims, including the timing of any assertion and pursuit of coverage, and Vontier shall not take any action that would be reasonably likely to: (A) have an adverse impact on the then-current relationship between Fortive and the applicable insurance company; (B) result in the applicable insurance company terminating or reducing coverage to Fortive or Vontier, or increasing the amount of any premium owed by Fortive under the applicable Company Policies; (C) otherwise compromise, jeopardize or interfere with the rights of Fortive under the applicable Company Policies or (D) otherwise compromise or impair Fortives ability to enforce its rights with respect to any indemnification under or arising out of this Agreement, and Fortive shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to cause Vontier to desist from any action that Fortive determines, in its sole discretion, would compromise or impair Fortives rights in accordance with this clause (D).

At all times, Fortive and Vontier shall, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 6.5, cooperate with reasonable requests for information by the other Party or the insurance companies regarding any such insurance policy claim.

(c) Notwithstanding Section 8.1(b), from and after the Effective Time, any director or officer of Vontier or any member of the Vontier Group who served as a director or officer of Fortive or any member of the Fortive Group prior to the Effective Time shall be entitled to pursue coverage under the director and officer liability insurance policies maintained by Fortive or any member of the Fortive Group to the extent that such policies provide coverage for such directors or officers acts and omissions in his or her respective capacity as director or officer of Fortive or any member of the Fortive Group prior to the Effective Time, subject to the terms and conditions of such policies (including but not limited to any limits on coverage or scope, any deductibles or retention amounts and other fees and expenses).

(d) Any payments, costs and adjustments required pursuant to Section 8.1(b) shall at Fortives election either be billed by Fortive to Vontier on a monthly basis and Vontier shall pay such billed payments, costs and adjustments to Fortive within sixty (60) days from receipt of invoice, or billed directly by the applicable third party to Vontier. If Fortive incurs costs to enforce Vontiers obligations under this Section 8.1, Vontier agrees to indemnify Fortive for such enforcement costs, including reasonable attorneys fees.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, from and after the Effective Time, neither Vontier nor any member of the Vontier Group shall have any rights or claims against or with respect to any self-insurance or captive insurance company arrangement of Fortive or any member of the Fortive Group. In addition, as of the Effective Time, Vontier, for itself and each member of the Vontier Groups does hereby remise, release and forever discharge Fortive and the other members of the Fortive Group of any rights or claims against or with respect to any self-insurance or captive insurance company arrangement of Fortive or any member of the Fortive Group.

(f) At the Effective Time, Vontier shall have in effect all insurance programs required to comply with Vontiers statutory obligations.

(g) This Agreement shall not be considered as an attempted assignment of any policy of insurance in its entirety, nor is it considered to be itself a contract of insurance, and further this Agreement shall not be construed to waive any right or remedy of Fortive under or with respect to any of the Company Policies and programs or any other contract or policy of insurance, and Fortive reserves all of its rights under such Policies.

(h) Fortive shall not be liable to Vontier for claims not reimbursed by insurers for any reason not within the control of Fortive, including coinsurance provisions, deductibles, quota share deductibles, exhaustion of aggregates, self-insured retentions, bankruptcy or insolvency of an insurance carrier, Company Policy limitations or restrictions, any coverage disputes, any failure to timely claim by Fortive or any defect in such claim or its processing.

(i) In the event that Insured Claims of more than one Party exist relating to the same occurrence, the relevant Parties shall jointly defend and waive any conflict of interest to the extent necessary to the conduct of the joint defense. Nothing in this Section 8.1(i) shall be construed to limit or otherwise alter in any way the obligations of the Parties, including those obligations under Article V, including those created by this Agreement, by operation of law or otherwise.

(j) In the event of any Action by any Party (or both of the Parties) to recover or obtain insurance proceeds, or to defend against any Action by an insurance carrier to deny any Policy benefits, both Parties may join in any such Action and be represented by joint counsel and both Parties shall waive any conflict of interest to the extent necessary to conduct any such Action. Nothing in this Section 8.1(j) shall be construed to limit or otherwise alter in any way the obligations of the Parties, including those created under Article V of this Agreement or otherwise, by operation of Law, or otherwise.

(k) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 8.1, to the extent Fortive has entered into or agrees to enter into, whether on its own or with respect to the any arrangement provided for under this Section 8.1, any settlement agreement or other arrangement with any insurance provider regarding coverage under any Company Policy that provides for any limitation of coverage or release of such insurance provider with regard to any coverage thereunder, whether in whole or in part (collectively, the Released Insurance Matters), Vontier agrees that it shall (i) abide by the terms of and, to the extent required, consent to, any such settlement or arrangement relating to the Released Insurance Matters as a condition to receiving any coverage under any Company Policy related thereto, (ii) have no rights to any such coverage under the Company Policies with respect to any Released Insurance Matters and (iii) make no claims under any Company Policies with respect to any Released Insurance Matters.

(l) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 8.1, from and after the Effective Time, Vontier shall maintain the insurance policies set forth in Schedule 8.1(l).

Section 8.2 Certain Matters Relating to Fortives Organizational Documents. From the Effective Time until six (6) years from the Distribution Date, the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of Vontier shall contain provisions no less favorable with respect to indemnification of directors and officers than those set forth in the Charter or Bylaws, which provisions shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified for such period in any manner that would affect adversely the rights thereunder of individuals who, at or prior to the Effective Time, were indemnified under the Charter or Bylaws, unless such amendment, repeal, or other modification shall be required by Law and then only to the minimum extent required by Law or approved by Vontiers stockholders.

Section 8.3 Indemnitor of First Resort. As a result of agreements or obligations arising outside of this Agreement, certain of the directors and officers of Vontier and its Subsidiaries designated by Fortive or its Affiliates (the Fortive D&O Indemnitees) have or will have rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and/or insurance provided by Fortive or certain of its Affiliates (collectively, the Fortive Indemnitors) in connection with their service as directors or officers of Vontier or its Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding any such rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and/or insurance provided by any Fortive Indemnitor, (a) Vontier is the indemnitor of first resort (i.e., Vontiers obligations to the Fortive D&O Indemnitees are primary, and any obligation of the Fortive Indemnitors to advance expenses or to provide indemnification for the same expenses or liabilities incurred by any Fortive D&O Indemnitee are secondary), (b) Vontier shall be required to advance the full amount of expenses incurred by the Fortive D&O Indemnitees and shall be liable for the full amount of all expenses, judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement to the extent legally permitted and as required by the terms of this Agreement, any other agreement between Vontier and the Fortive D&O Indemnitees or the certificate of incorporation or bylaws of Vontier and (c) Vontier hereby irrevocably waives, relinquishes and releases each of the Fortive Indemnitors from any and all claims against any of the Fortive Indemnitors for contribution,

subrogation or any other recovery of any kind in respect thereof. In addition, notwithstanding any advancement or payment by the Fortive Indemnitors to or on behalf of any Fortive D&O Indemnitee with respect to any claim for which a Fortive D&O Indemnitee has sought or may seek indemnification from Vontier, (i) Vontiers obligations hereunder shall not be affected, (ii) the Fortive Indemnitors shall have a right of contribution and/or be subrogated to the extent of such advancement or payment to all of the rights of recovery of such Fortive D&O Indemnitee, as applicable, against Vontier and (iii) for the avoidance of doubt, all damages, costs losses and other Liabilities incurred by any Fortive D&O Indemnitee in connection with his or her service as a director or officer of Vontier or any of its Subsidiaries shall constitute Vontier Liabilities.

In the event of any inconsistency between this Agreement and any Schedule hereto, the Schedule shall prevail. In the event and to the extent that there shall be a conflict between the provisions of (a) this Agreement and the provisions of any Ancillary Agreement or Continuing Arrangement, such Ancillary Agreement or Continuing Arrangement shall control (except with respect to any Conveyancing and Assumption Instruments, in which case this Agreement shall control) and (b) this Agreement and any agreement which is not an Ancillary Agreement, this Agreement shall control unless specifically stated otherwise in such agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the Conveyancing and Assumption Instruments are intended to be ministerial in nature and only to effect the transactions contemplated by this Agreement with respect to the applicable local jurisdiction and shall not expand or modify the rights and obligations of the Parties or their Affiliates under this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements that are not Conveyancing and Assumption Instruments. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement: (i) all matters relating to Taxes and Tax Returns of the Parties and their respective Subsidiaries shall be governed exclusively by the Tax Matters Agreement; and (ii) for the avoidance of doubt, in the event of any conflict between this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, on the one hand, and the Tax Matters Agreement, on the other hand, with respect to such matters, the terms and conditions of the Tax Matters Agreement shall govern.

Section 9.2 Ancillary Agreements. Except as expressly set forth herein, this Agreement is not intended to address, and should not be interpreted to address, the matters specifically and expressly covered by the Ancillary Agreements.

Except as otherwise contemplated by this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, all covenants and agreements of the Parties contained in this Agreement and each Ancillary Agreement shall survive the Effective Time and remain in full force and effect in accordance with their applicable terms.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Party shall be responsible for paying its own internal fees, costs and expenses (e.g., salaries of personnel). With respect to any fees, costs and expenses incurred by either Party in satisfying its obligations under Section 7.1 or Section 7.2, the requesting Party shall be responsible for the other Partys fees, costs and expenses.

Section 9.8 Assignment. This Agreement shall not be assignable, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, by any party hereto without the prior written consent of the other Party, and any attempt to assign any rights or obligations arising under this Agreement without such consent shall be void.

Section 9.11 Payment Terms.

(a) Except as set forth in Article V or as otherwise expressly provided to the contrary in this Agreement or in any Ancillary Agreement, any amount to be paid or reimbursed by a Party (and/or a member of such Partys Group), on the one hand, to the other Party (and/or a member of such Partys Group), on the other hand, under this Agreement shall be paid or reimbursed hereunder within sixty (60) days after presentation of an invoice or a written demand therefor and setting forth, or accompanied by, reasonable documentation or other reasonable explanation supporting such amount.

(b) Except as set forth in Article V or as expressly provided to the contrary in this Agreement or in any Ancillary Agreement, any amount not paid when due pursuant to this Agreement (and any amount billed or otherwise invoiced or demanded and properly payable that is not paid within sixty (60) days of such bill, invoice or other demand) shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Prime Rate, from time to time in effect, calculated for the actual number of days elapsed, accrued from the date on which such payment was due up to the date of the actual receipt of payment.

(c) Unless otherwise consented to by the Party receiving any payment under this Agreement specifying otherwise, all payments to be made by either Fortive or Vontier under this Agreement shall be made in US Dollars. Except as expressly provided herein, any amount which is not expressed in US Dollars shall be converted into US Dollars by using the exchange rate published on Bloomberg at 5:00 pm Eastern Standard time (EST) on the day before the relevant date or in the Wall Street Journal on such date if not so published on Bloomberg. Except as expressly provided herein, in the event that any indemnification payment required to be made hereunder or under any Ancillary Agreement may be denominated in a currency other than US Dollars, the amount of such payment shall be converted into US Dollars on the date in which notice of the claim is given to the Indemnifying Party.

Section 9.12 Subsidiaries. Each of the Parties shall cause to be performed, and hereby guarantees the performance of, all actions, agreements and obligations set forth herein to be performed by any Subsidiary of such Party or by any entity that becomes a Subsidiary of such Party at and after the Effective Time, to the extent such Subsidiary remains a Subsidiary of the applicable Party.

Section 9.13 Third Party Beneficiaries. Except (i) as provided in Article V relating to Indemnitees and for the release under Section 5.1 of any Person provided therein and (ii) as specifically provided in any Ancillary Agreement, this Agreement is solely for the benefit of the Parties and should not be deemed to confer upon third parties any remedy, claim, liability, reimbursement, claim of Action or other right in excess of those existing without reference to this Agreement.

Section 9.14 Title and Headings. Titles and headings to sections herein are inserted for the convenience of reference only and are not intended to be a part of or to affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

Section 9.15 Exhibits and Schedules.

(a) The Exhibits and Schedules shall be construed with and as an integral part of this Agreement to the same extent as if the same had been set forth verbatim herein. Nothing in the Exhibits or Schedules constitutes an admission of any liability or obligation of any member of the Fortive Group or the Vontier Group or any of their respective Affiliates to any third party, nor, with respect to any third party, an admission against the interests of any member of the Fortive Group or the Vontier Group or any of their respective Affiliates. The inclusion of any item or liability or category of item or liability on any Exhibit or Schedule is made solely for purposes of allocating potential liabilities among the Parties and shall not be deemed as or construed to be an admission that any such liability exists.

(b) Subject to the prior written consent of the other Party (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), each Party shall be entitled to update the Schedules from and after the date hereof until the Effective Time.

Section 9.16 Governing Law. This Agreement and any dispute arising out of, in connection with or relating to this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to the conflicts of laws principles thereof.

Section 9.17 Severability. In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and therein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. The Parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions, the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

Section 9.18 Public Announcements. From and after the Effective Time, Fortive and Vontier shall consult with each other before issuing, and give each other the opportunity to review and comment upon, that portion of any press release or other public statements that relates to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements, and shall not issue any such press release or make any such public statement prior to such consultation, except (a) as may be required by applicable Law, court process or by obligations pursuant to any listing agreement with any national securities exchange; (b) for disclosures made that are substantially consistent with disclosure contained in any Distribution Disclosure Document; or (c) as may pertain to disputes between one Party or any member of its Group, on one hand, and the other Party or any member of its Group, on the other hand.

Section 9.19 Interpretation. The Parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. This Agreement shall be construed without regard to any presumption or rule requiring construction or interpretation against the Party drafting or causing any instrument to be drafted.

Section 9.20 No Duplication; No Double Recovery. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to confer to or impose upon any Party a duplicative right, entitlement, obligation or recovery with respect to any matter arising out of the same facts and circumstances (including with respect to the rights, entitlements, obligations and recoveries that may arise out of one or more of the following Sections: Section 5.2; Section 5.3; and Section 5.4).

Section 9.21 Tax Treatment of Payments. Unless otherwise required by a Final Determination, this Agreement or the Tax Matters Agreement or otherwise agreed to among the Parties, for U.S. federal Tax purposes, any payment made pursuant to this Agreement (other than any payment of interest pursuant to Section 9.11) by: (i) Vontier to Fortive shall be treated for all Tax purposes as a distribution by Vontier to Fortive with respect to stock of Vontier occurring on or immediately before the Distribution Date; or (ii) Fortive to Vontier shall be treated for all Tax purposes as a tax-free contribution by Fortive to Vontier with respect to its stock occurring on or immediately before the Distribution Date; and in each case, no Party shall take any position inconsistent with such treatment. In the event that a Taxing Authority asserts that a Partys treatment of a payment pursuant to this Agreement should be other than as set forth in the preceding sentence, such Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to contest such challenge. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Fortive shall notify Vontier if it determines that any payment made pursuant to this Agreement is to be treated, for any Tax purposes, as a payment made by one Party acting as an agent of one of such Partys Subsidiaries to the other Party acting as an agent of one of such other Partys Subsidiaries, and the Parties agree to treat any such payment accordingly.

Section 9.22 No Waiver. No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of any Party, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under the other Ancillary Agreements shall operate as a waiver hereof or thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or thereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege.

Section 9.23 No Admission of Liability. The allocation of Assets and Liabilities herein (including on the Schedules hereto) is solely for the purpose of allocating such Assets and Liabilities between Fortive and Vontier and is not intended as an admission of liability or responsibility for any alleged Liabilities vis-à-vis any third party, including with respect to the Liabilities of any non-wholly owned subsidiary of Fortive or Vontier.

Section 9.24 Advisors. It is acknowledged and agreed by each of the Parties that Fortive, on behalf of itself and the other members of the Fortive Group, has retained each of the Persons identified on Schedule 9.24 to act as counsel in connection with this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements, the Internal Reorganization, the Contribution, the Distribution and the other transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and that the Persons listed on Schedule 9.24 have not acted as counsel for Vontier or any other member of the Vontier Group in connection with this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements, the Internal Reorganization, the Contribution, the Distribution and the other transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and that none of Vontier or any member of the Vontier Group has the status of a client of the Persons listed on Schedule 9.24 for conflict of interest or any other purposes as a result thereof. Vontier hereby agrees, on behalf of itself and each other member of the Vontier Group that, in the event that a dispute arises after the Effective Time in connection with this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements, the Internal Reorganization, the Contribution, the Distribution and/or any of the other transactions contemplated hereby and thereby between Fortive and Vontier or any of the members of their respective Groups, each of the Persons listed on Schedule 9.24 may represent any or all of the members of the Fortive Group in such dispute even though the interests of the Fortive Group may be directly adverse to those of the Vontier Group. Vontier further agrees, on behalf of itself and each other member of the Vontier Group that, with respect to this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements, the Internal Reorganization, the Contribution, the Distribution and the other transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, the attorney-client privilege and the expectation of client confidence belongs to Fortive or the applicable member of the Fortive Group and may be controlled by Fortive or such member of the Fortive Group and shall not pass to or be claimed by Vontier or any member of the Vontier Group. Without limiting the foregoing, Vontier acknowledges and agrees that each of Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom, LLP and DLA Piper is representing Fortive, and not Vontier, in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.
