<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Replacing a similar existing credit facility with a remaining term of one year, on November
10, 2011, Dover Corporation (the &#147;Company&#148;) entered into a $1&nbsp;billion five-year unsecured revolving
credit facility with a syndicate of 14 banks (the &#147;Lenders&#148;), pursuant to a Credit Agreement dated
as of November&nbsp;10, 2011 among the Company, the Lenders, the Borrowing Subsidiaries party thereto
and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as Administrative Agent (the &#147;Credit Agreement&#148;). The commitments of
the Lenders under the Credit Agreement may be increased by an additional aggregate amount of up to
$500&nbsp;million during the term of the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement replaced an existing $1
billion five-year unsecured credit facility pursuant to a credit agreement dated as of November&nbsp;9,
2007 for which JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. was Administrative Agent, which existing credit agreement
was terminated by the Company upon execution of the Credit Agreement.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The aggregate principal amount of the Credit Agreement is the same as the aggregate principal
amount of the prior facility that it replaced. The Credit Agreement has substantially the same
terms as the prior facility that it replaced and is intended to be used primarily as liquidity
back-up for the Company&#146;s commercial paper program.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Lenders&#146; commitments under the Credit Agreement will terminate on November&nbsp;10, 2016 (the
&#147;Maturity Date&#148;). As with the prior facility it replaces, the Company may terminate the Lenders&#146;
commitments under the Credit Agreement at any time a loan is not outstanding and the Company may
ratably reduce the commitments from time to time. Any such termination or reduction of the
commitments will be permanent. In the event of a drawdown under the Credit Agreement, the
outstanding principal balance of all such drawings will be due on the Maturity Date. However, as
was the case with the prior facility, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any event
of default set forth in the Credit Agreement, as described further below, the Lenders may
accelerate and declare all or a portion of the Company&#146;s obligations thereunder due and payable
and/or may terminate the commitments.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Subsidiaries of the Company who agree to become parties to the Credit Agreement are also
entitled to draw funds under the Credit Agreement and are termed Borrowing Subsidiaries. The
obligations of the Borrowing Subsidiaries in respect of their borrowings are guaranteed by the
Company. As of the date hereof, there are no Borrowing Subsidiaries.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company may elect to have loans under the Credit Agreement bear interest at a Euro or
Sterling rate based on LIBOR, plus an applicable margin ranging from 0.565% to 1.225%, subject to
adjustment on the basis of the rating accorded the Company&#146;s senior unsecured debt by S&#038;P and
Moody&#146;s (each an &#147;Applicable Rate&#148;), or at a base rate equal to the greatest of (1)&nbsp;the prime rate;
(2)&nbsp;the Federal funds rate plus 0.5%; and (3)&nbsp;LIBOR for an interest period of one month plus 1.0%.
In addition, the Company will pay a facility fee with a rate ranging from 0.06% to 0.15% (subject
to adjustment on the basis of the rating accorded the Company&#146;s senior debt by S&#038;P and Moody&#146;s) on
the total amount of the commitments. Interest on loans under the Credit Agreement that accrues at
the Applicable Rate will be due and payable on the last day of the applicable interest period (the
period commencing on the date the loan is made or the last day of the preceding interest period and
ending one, two, three or six months thereafter, as the Company or Borrowing Subsidiary may elect)
or, if an interest period is in excess of three months, at intervals of three months after the
first day thereof. Interest on loans that accrues at the base rate will be due and payable on the
last day of the period beginning on the date the loan is made or the last day of the preceding
interest period, and ending on the last day of the applicable fiscal quarter. The principal balance
of loans and any accrued and unpaid interest will be due and payable in full on the Maturity Date
or, if earlier, the date on which all of the Lenders&#146; commitments are terminated, as described
herein.

<DIV style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif">

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Credit Agreement imposes various restrictions on the Company that are substantially
similar to those in the replaced facility, including usual and customary limitations on the ability
of the Company or any of its subsidiaries to grant liens upon their assets, a prohibition on
certain consolidations, mergers and sales and transfers of assets by the Company and limitations on
changes in the existing lines of business of Borrowing Subsidiaries without the consent of the
Lenders. In addition, so long as any amounts remain outstanding or unpaid under the facility, the
Company must maintain a minimum interest coverage ratio of EBITDA to consolidated net interest
expense of not less than 3.00:1.00 and the debt of the Company&#146;s consolidated subsidiaries may not
exceed a stated consolidated net worth percentage. The Credit Agreement includes usual and
customary events of default for facilities of this nature (with customary grace periods, as
applicable) and provides that, upon the occurrence and continuation of an event of default, payment
of all amounts payable under the Credit Agreement may be accelerated and/or the Lenders&#146;
commitments may be terminated. In addition, upon the occurrence of certain insolvency or bankruptcy
related events of default, all amounts payable under the Credit Agreement will automatically become
immediately due and payable, and the Lenders&#146; commitments will automatically terminate. These terms
are all substantially similar to those of the replaced facility.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company has customary corporate and commercial banking relationships with the Lenders and
the Administrative Agent.
