example, upon termination of employment prior to the expiration date.
2.    It is your responsibility to keep track of your SSAR grants and to ensure
that you exercise your SSARs before they expire. Dover will not remind or notify
you that your SSAR is nearing its expiration date.

3.    The earliest date on which the SSAR may be exercised is the third
anniversary of the Grant Date. Earlier exercise may be permitted in the event of
a Change in Control or death or disability as provided in the Plan. No payment
is required to exercise a SSAR.
 
4.    Upon exercise of your SSARs, you will be entitled to receive from Dover
that number of whole shares of Dover Common Stock equal in value, on the date of
exercise of the SSARs, to the excess of (A) the value of a share of Dover Common
Stock on the date of exercise of the SSARs multiplied by the number of SSARs
being exercised over (B) the sum of (i) the per share base price of the SSARs
being exercised multiplied by the number of SSARs being exercised, plus (ii)
unless you elect to pay such tax in cash, any amount of tax that must be
withheld in connection with such exercise. Fractional shares shall be
disregarded.

5.    As a condition of receiving your SSAR 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. You may obtain a copy of the current version of the Anti-hedging and
Anti-pledging Policy, and any Clawback Policy to be adopted by Dover, by
