Officers are the only associates allowed to sign documents or exercise authority on behalf of Danaher Corporation, or authorize others to do so. In your particular business, signature authority and spending authority are also limited and assigned to certain roles or individuals. Making business commitments outside of these processes, through side deals or otherwise, is not acceptable.  

If you are ever in doubt as to whether you have authority to sign a document or take another action on behalf of the Company, or any of its subsidiaries, do not act until you are able to establish your authority to act, or you obtain appropriate approval.
