Definition of iTSR

Conceptual formula for iTSR calculation:

[cformula.jpg]

Explanation of iTSR formula:

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. The base year
iTSR is the minimum value of an Operating Company, to which the 9X multiple is
applied to calculate an EV. The base year iTSR is calculated using the highest
of the following:

(i)
Base-Year EBITDA

(ii)
10% of Base-Year Sales

(iii)
90% of Prior-to-Base-Year iTSR Base

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.

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

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
Performance Share payments you may be entitled to under this and any other
Performance Share Award under the Plan you may have, as if part of your original
Award.

(i) For the first Performance Share payment date that occurs after your
transfer, any Performance Share payment that may be due will be based on the
performance of your old business unit.

(ii)For the second Performance Share payment date that occurs after your
transfer, any Performance Share payment that may be due 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)For the third Performance Share payment date that occurs after your
transfer, any Performance Share payment that may be due will be based on the
performance of your new business unit.

(iv)Any Performance Share 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 share amount.

For purposes of these rules your old business unit is the business unit
indicated on your Award. Your new business unit is the business unit where you
are employed on the payment date.
