Your restricted stock award is subject to all the terms and provisions of the Plan, which terms and
provisions are expressly incorporated into and made a part of the award as if set forth in full
herein. A copy of the Plan can be found on www.dovercorporation.com/investorinformation.asp in the
SEC Filings, Proxy Filing on 3/24/2009 Appendix A.



In addition, subject to the following provisions of the Plan, your restricted stock award is
subject to the following:





	1.	 	The shares of Restricted Stock awarded to you (the “Restricted Shares”) will be recorded on
Dover’s books in your name. Dover will instruct its stock agent to place a stop transfer
order on the Restricted Shares until such time as the restrictions thereon lapse. In the
event that you forfeit all or any portion of the Restricted Shares, the shares which are
forfeited will automatically be transferred back to Dover. Your Restricted Shares will be
held by Dover’s Secretary during the Restriction Period, together with a stock power endorsed
by you in blank in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A.
	 
	2.	 	You shall vest in the Restricted Stock Award, and all Restrictions thereon shall lapse on the
third anniversary of the date of grant, subject to the forfeiture provisions of the Plan. You
must be an active employee of Dover or a Dover affiliate at the end of the Restriction Period
in order for your Restricted Stock to vest, with certain exceptions as provided in the Plan,
provided that this Restricted Stock Award shall be forfeited if you retire before the end of
the Restriction Period.
	 
	3.	 	During the Restricted Period you shall not receive any dividends declared and other
distributions paid with respect to your Restricted Shares. You may not vote the Restricted
Shares during the Restriction Period. As soon as administratively reasonable after the end of
the Restriction Period, provided that the Restricted Shares have vested, you shall be paid all
dividends declared and other distributions paid with respect to your Restricted Shares during
the Restriction Period. In the event that you shall vest in the Restricted Shares prior to
the end of the Restriction Period as provided in the Plan, dividends declared and other
distributions paid during the Restriction Period shall be paid to you as soon as
administratively reasonable after the date of vesting.
	 
	4.	 	The Restricted Shares may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered
and shall not be subject to execution, attachment, garnishment or other similar legal process.
Upon any attempt to sell, transfer, assign, pledge, or otherwise encumber or dispose of the
Restricted Shares contrary to the provisions hereof or of the Plan, the Restricted Shares
shall immediately be forfeited to Dover.
	 
	5.	 	By accepting this award, you hereby consent to the collection, use and transfer of any
personally identifiable information about you relating to your participation in the Plan to
Dover and its affiliates for the purpose of administering this restricted stock award. Your
personal information may be transferred to the United States, a jurisdiction that may not have
an equivalent level of data protection as the laws in your home country. Dover and its
affiliates will take reasonable steps to ensure the security of your personal information and
to avoid unauthorized or accidental access, erasure or other use. Your personal information
will only be held as long as necessary to administer the Plan or this restricted stock award.
You may, at any time, request access to your personal information held about you in connection
with this restricted stock award and make any necessary amendments to your personal
information or withdraw your consent. Withdrawing your consent may affect Dover and its
affiliates’ ability to administer the restricted stock award.
	 
	6.	 	Dover and your employer reserve the right to amend, modify, or terminate the Plan at any time
in their discretion with notice.
