Explanation of Responses:

* If the form is filed by more than one reporting person, see Instruction 4(b)(v).
** Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal Criminal Violations. See 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 15 U.S.C. 78ff(a).
(1) Represents grant of restricted stock units ("RSUs") under the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan (the "Plan"). Each RSU represents a contingent right to receive one share of Dover common stock. The RSUs will vest in three annual tranches beginning on March 15, 2019. The Reporting Person is eligible for retirement treatment under the Plan which entitles him to have the RSUs continue to vest following retirement. Pursuant to the terms of this grant, if the Reporting Person retires prior to the vesting date for any tranche the number of RSUs of that tranche and any other remaining tranche will be adjusted on a pro rata basis based on the number of days he was employed on and after January 1, 2018 divided by 365 (for the first tranche), 730 (for the second tranche) or 1095 (for the third tranche). All forms of equity compensation granted to the Reporting Person on February 9, 2018 are subject to a similar pro rata construct.
(2) The Reporting Person is eligible for retirement treatment under the Plan which entitles him to have the SSARs continue to vest if he retires prior to January 9, 2021. Pursuant to the terms of the grant, if the Reporting Person retires prior to 2/9/2021, the number of SSARs will be adjusted on a pro rata basis based on the number of days he was employed from the period January 1, 2018 through December 31, 2020 divided by 1095.
