In no event will the cash performance payout to any one individual exceed $5 million for the performance period.

As a condition of receiving your Cash Performance Award, you agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of the Dover Corporation Anti-hedging and Anti-pledging Policy and by any Clawback Policy to be adopted by Dover, as such policies may be in effect from time to time. The Anti-hedging and Anti-pledging Policy prohibits hedging or pledging any Dover equity securities held by you or certain designees, whether such Dover securities are, or have been, acquired under the Plan, another compensation plan sponsored by Dover, or otherwise. Please review the Anti-hedging and Anti-pledging Policy to make sure that you are in compliance.

Definition of iTSR

iTSR = (change in entity value + free cash flow) / (starting entity value).

Change in entity value is nine times the change in EBITDA values, comparing the full base year to the full final year of the performance period.

Free cash flow is the cash flow generated by your business unit, including your business unit's operating profit plus depreciation, amortization and proceeds from dispositions, less taxes and investments made for future growth (capital spending, working capital and acquisitions) and adjusted for other non-recurring items.

Starting entity value is the higher of nine times EBITDA for the full base year or 0.9 times revenue for the full base year.

EBITDA is pre-tax income adjusted for non-operating and non-recurring items plus depreciation and amortization.

 
I hereby acknowledge and agree that I have reviewed the Plan and this agreement and agree to the terms and conditions set forth herein and therein.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
This award agreement shall only become effective upon receipt by Dover of your signed copy of this agreement.

Rules for Transfers/Promotions

The following rules will apply to you if you are transferred from one Dover business unit to another Dover business unit. These rules apply to all cash performance payments you may be entitled to under this and any other cash performance award under the Plan you may have, as if part of your original award.

(i)If a cash performance payment is due in the first calendar year after the calendar year of your transfer, your cash performance payment will be based on the performance of your old business unit.

(ii)If a cash performance payment is due in the second calendar year after the calendar year of your transfer, your cash performance payment will be based on the performance of either your old business unit or your new business unit, whichever results in the higher payment to you.

(iii)If a cash performance payment is due in the third calendar year after the calendar year of your transfer, your cash performance payment will be based on the performance of your new business unit.

(iv)Any cash performance payment under an award made at one business unit that becomes payable after you transfer to another business unit will still be based on that award's original dollar amount.
