(d) Employer Securities. Dover and Knowles each presently intend to preserve the right of Dover Participants and Knowles Participants to receive distributions in kind of employer securities from, respectively, the Dover 401(k) Plan and the Knowles 401(k) Plan, if, and to the extent, investments under such plans are comprised of Knowles Common Stock or Dover Common Stock; provided, that, Dover shall cause the Dover 401(k) Plan to provide that, no later than eighteen (18) months following the Distribution Date, the Dover 401(k) Plan shall hold no separate investment fund comprised of Knowles Common Stock and Knowles shall cause the Knowles 401(k) Plan to provide that, no later than eighteen (18) months following the Distribution Date, the Knowles 401(k) Plan shall not hold a separate investment fund comprised of Dover Common Stock.

Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan Liabilities with respect to each Knowles Employee who participates in such plans. The treatment of benefits under each nonqualified deferred compensation plan shall comply with Section 409A of the Code, to the extent subject thereto.

As of the Plan Separation Date, such Knowles Participants shall have ceased to participate in the Dover Health and Welfare Plans in which they participated and shall have commenced participation in the corresponding Knowles Health and Welfare Plan.

9

Knowles FSAs have terms that are substantially identical to the analogous Dover cafeteria plan, dependent care and medical care flexible spending accounts (the “Dover FSAs”) as in effect immediately prior to the Plan Separation Date. Knowles and Dover shall have taken all steps necessary or appropriate so that the account balances (if any) under the Dover FSAs of each Knowles Employee who elected to participate therein shall have been transferred, as soon as practicable after the Plan Separation Date from the Dover FSAs to the corresponding Knowles FSAs. The Knowles FSAs shall have assumed responsibility as of the Plan Separation Date for all outstanding dependent care and medical care claims under the Dover FSAs of each Knowles Employee and shall have assumed and agreed to perform the obligations from and after the Plan Separation Date. Knowles shall have taken all steps necessary or appropriate so that the contribution elections of each such Knowles Employee as in effect immediately before the Plan Separation Date (if any) remain in effect under the Knowles FSAs following the Plan Separation Date. As soon as practicable after the Plan Separation Date, Dover shall have transferred to Knowles an amount equal to the total contributions made to the Dover FSAs by Knowles Employees in respect of the plan year in which the Effective Time occurs, reduced by an amount equal to the total claims already paid to Knowles in respect of such plan year, if any.

Each member of the Knowles Group shall also be solely responsible for all workers’ compensation Liabilities relating to, arising out of, or resulting from any claim incurred for a compensable injury sustained by a Knowles Employee or Former Knowles Employee that results from an accident or from an occupational disease which is incurred or becomes manifest, as the case may be, after the Effective Time. Each member of the Dover Group and the Knowles Group shall cooperate with respect to any notification to appropriate governmental agencies of the disposition and the issuance of new, or the transfer of existing, workers’ compensation insurance policies and claims handling contracts.

4.5 Payroll Taxes and Reporting. Dover and Knowles shall, to the extent practicable, (i) treat Knowles (or a member of the Knowles Group designated by Knowles) as a “successor employer” and Dover (or the appropriate member of the Dover Group) as a “predecessor,” within the meaning of Sections 3121(a)(1) and 3306(b)(1) of the Code, with respect to Knowles Employees for purposes of Taxes imposed under the United States Federal Unemployment Tax Act or the United States Federal Insurance Contributions Act, and (ii) cooperate with each other to avoid, to the extent possible, the filing of more than one IRS Form W-2 with respect to each Knowles Employee for the year in which the Effective Time occurs. Without limiting in any manner the obligations and Liabilities of the Parties under the Tax Matters Agreement, each member of the Dover Group and each member of the Knowles Group shall each bear its responsibility for payroll Tax obligations and for the proper reporting to the appropriate Governmental Entities of compensation earned by their respective employees after the Effective Time, including compensation related to the exercise of Options or the vesting or exercise of other equity awards.

(i) the number of shares of Dover Common Stock subject to each Adjusted Dover RSU shall be equal to the product (rounded down to the nearest whole share on an aggregated basis) of (A) the number of shares of Dover Common Stock subject to the corresponding Dover Restricted Stock Unit immediately prior to the Effective Time and (B) the Dover Ratio.

(ii) Each Adjusted Dover RSU shall be subject to the same terms, vesting conditions, issuance dates and method of distribution and other terms and conditions as were in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time for the corresponding Dover Restricted Stock Unit.

(iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Compensation Committee of the Dover Board of Directors shall adjust the performance-vesting requirements for any performance-based Adjusted Dover RSUs, in order to reflect the impact of the Distribution upon the performance goals previously established for such units or awards.

(b) Knowles Restricted Stock Units. Each Dover Restricted Stock Unit that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and that is held by a Knowles Employee shall, as of the Effective Time, be cancelled and immediately replaced with a Knowles Restricted Stock Unit, as follows:

(i) The number of shares of Knowles Common Stock subject to each Knowles Restricted Stock Unit shall be equal to the product (rounded down to the nearest whole share on an aggregated basis) of (A) the number of shares of Dover Common Stock subject to the corresponding Dover Restricted Stock Unit immediately prior to the Effective Time and (B) the Knowles Ratio.

13

(ii) With respect to any performance-based Dover Restricted Stock Units that relate to a performance period ending after the Effective Time, such Dover Restricted Stock Units shall be replaced with a number of time-based Knowles Restricted Stock Units as calculated pursuant to Section 5.3(b)(i), based on the number of shares of Dover Common Stock that would be payable upon the settlement of such units upon target-level achievement of the performance goals (and any units not subject to conversion will be forfeited).

(iii) Except as provided in Section 5.3(b)(ii), each Knowles Restricted Stock Unit shall be subject to the same terms, vesting conditions, issuance dates and method of distribution and other terms and conditions that were in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time for the corresponding Dover Restricted Stock Unit. With respect to each Knowles Restricted Stock Unit, Knowles shall give each Knowles Employee full service credit for such Knowles Employee’s service with either Party or any of its respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates prior to the Effective Time to the same extent such service was recognized with respect to the corresponding Dover Restricted Stock Unit immediately prior to the Effective Time.

ARTICLE VI

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE

6.1 Sharing of Participant Information. To the maximum extent permitted under applicable Law, Dover and Knowles shall share, and shall cause the members of its respective Group to share, with each other and their respective agents and vendors all participant information reasonably necessary for the efficient and accurate administration of each of the Dover Plans and the Knowles Plans. Dover and Knowles and their respective authorized agents shall, subject to applicable laws on confidentiality, be given reasonable and timely access to, and may make copies of, all information relating to the subjects of this Agreement in the custody of the other Party or any member of its Group, to the extent necessary for such administration. Until the Plan Separation Date, all participant information shall be provided in the manner and medium applicable to Participating Companies in the Dover Plans generally, and thereafter until the time at which the Parties subsequently determine, all participant information shall be provided in a manner and medium that are compatible with the data processing systems of Dover as in effect as of the Plan Separation Date, unless otherwise agreed to by Dover and Knowles.

6.2 Non-Termination of Employment; No Third Party Beneficiaries. No provision of this Agreement or the Separation Agreement shall be construed to create any right, or accelerate entitlement, to any compensation or benefit whatsoever on the part of any future, present, or former employee of a member of the Dover Group or the Knowles Group under any Dover Plan or Knowles Plan or otherwise. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement shall preclude any member of the Knowles Group, at any time after the Effective Time, from amending, merging, modifying, terminating, eliminating, reducing, or otherwise altering in any respect any Knowles Plan, any benefit under any Knowles Plan or any trust, insurance policy or funding vehicle related to any Knowles Plan; and except as expressly provided in this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement shall preclude any member of the Dover Group, at any time after the Effective Time, from amending, merging, modifying, terminating, eliminating, reducing, or otherwise altering in any respect any Dover Plan, any benefit under any Dover Plan or any trust, insurance policy or funding vehicle related to any Dover Plan.

6.3 Audit Rights with Respect to Information Provided. Each of Dover and Knowles, and their duly authorized representatives, shall have the right to conduct reasonable audits with respect to all information provided to it by the other Party. The Parties shall cooperate to determine the procedures and guidelines for conducting audits under this Section 6.3, which shall require reasonable advance notice by the auditing party. The auditing Party shall have the right to make copies of any records at its expense, subject to applicable Law.

6.4 Fiduciary Matters. Dover and Knowles each acknowledge that actions required to be taken pursuant to this Agreement may be subject to fiduciary duties or standards of conduct under ERISA or other applicable Law, and no Party shall be deemed to be in violation of this Agreement if it fails to comply with any provisions hereof based upon its good faith determination (as supported by advice from counsel experienced in such matters) that to do so would violate such a fiduciary duty or standard. Each Party shall be responsible for taking such actions as are deemed necessary and appropriate to comply with its own fiduciary responsibilities and shall fully release and indemnify the other party for any Liabilities caused by the failure to satisfy any such responsibility.

15

6.5 Consent of Third Parties. If any provision of this Agreement is dependent on the consent of any Third Party (such as a vendor or Governmental Entity) and such consent is withheld, Dover and Knowles shall use commercially reasonable efforts to implement the applicable provisions of this Agreement to the full extent practicable. If any provision of this Agreement cannot be implemented due to the failure of such Third Party to consent, Dover and Knowles shall negotiate in good faith to implement the provision in a mutually satisfactory manner. The phrase “commercially reasonable efforts” as used herein shall not be construed to require the incurrence of any non-routine or unreasonable expense or liability or the waiver of any right.

6.6 Subsequent Transfers of Employment. To the extent that the employment of any individuals transfers between any member of the Dover Group and any member of the Knowles Group in the twenty four (24) month period following the Distribution Date, the Parties shall use their reasonable efforts to effect the provisions of this Agreement with respect to the compensation and benefits of such individuals following such transfer, it being understood that (i) it may not be possible to replicate the effect of such provisions under such circumstances and (ii) neither Dover nor Knowles shall be bound by the provisions of this Section 6.6 to assume any Liabilities or transfer any Assets. Notwithstanding to foregoing, for compensation subject to the provisions of Section 409A of the Code, any such subsequent transfer shall be a separation from service from the applicable employer for purposes of such compensation, and the consequences of such separation from service shall be determined in accordance with the terms of the applicable plan or agreement.
