     THIS LONG-TERM CASH BONUS AWARD AGREEMENT (“Agreement”), made effective as of the Grant Date (as defined in paragraph 1), by and between «FirstName» «LastName» (hereinafter the “Participant”) and Gardner Denver, Inc. (hereinafter the “Company”);

WITNESSETH THAT:

     WHEREAS, the Company maintains the Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) and the Participant has been selected by the committee administering the Plan (the “Committee”) to receive a Long-Term Cash Bonus Award (“Award”) under the Plan:

     NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS AGREED, by and between the Company and the Participant, as follows:

     1. Benefits. Participant shall be eligible to receive any and all benefits to which he is entitled to receive for the Long Term Cash Bonus Award under the terms and subject to the conditions of the Plan, as amended from time to time, which terms and conditions are hereby made a part hereof and are incorporated herein by reference. In the event of any inconsistency or conflict between the terms of the Plan and those of this Award Agreement, the terms of the Plan shall prevail. Terms which are not specifically defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Plan.

     2. Terms of Award. The following terms used in this Agreement shall have the meanings set forth below:

         (a) Grant Date. The “Grant Date” is January 1, 20_.

         (b) Performance Period. The “Performance Period” is the period beginning on the Grant Date and ending on the third anniversary of the Grant Date.

         (c) Base Salary Factor. The “Base Salary Factor” to be used in calculating the Participant’s Award granted hereunder by application to the Participant’s Base Salary in effect as of the end of the Performance Period, is «BonusTarget».

         (d) Performance Targets. The “Performance Targets” which must be met by the end of the Performance Period in order for the Participant to receive an Award hereunder are the following percentage increases in the compound growth rate of earnings before taxes for the Company’s industrial businesses (i.e., excluding petroleum products) (the “Earnings Growth Rate”):

Threshold Performance 4%		Target Performance 8%		Maximum Performance 12%

          (e) Payment Opportunity. The Participant’s “Payment Opportunity” is determined by the extent to which the Performance Targets set forth in this paragraph 1(d) are met by the end of the Performance Period in accordance with the following table:

Performance Target Achieved		Payment Opportunity
Threshold Performance			50	%
Target Performance			100	%
Maximum Performance			200	%

The Payment Opportunity for an Earnings Growth Rate occurring between stated Performance Targets at the end of any Performance Period shall be determined through simple interpolation. An Earnings Growth Rate below the Threshold Performance in any Performance Period will result in no Award payment for that Performance Period.

          (f) Date of Termination. The Participant’s “Date of Termination” shall be the first day occurring on or after the Grant Date on which the Participant is no longer employed by the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company, regardless of the reason for the termination of employment; provided that a termination of employment shall not be deemed to occur by reason of a transfer of the Participant between the Company and a Subsidiary or between two Subsidiaries. All determinations regarding employment shall be made by the Committee.

          (g) Target Performance. Target Performance means the Earnings Growth Rate Performance Target for the Performance Period, the attainment of which is necessary for the payment of a 100% Payment Opportunity.

          (h) Threshold Performance. Threshold Performance means the Earnings Growth Rate Performance Target for the Performance Period, the attainment of which is necessary for the payment of a 50% Payment Opportunity and for the payment of any Award at the conclusion of a Performance Period.

          (i) Maximum Performance. Maximum Performance means the Earnings Growth Rate Performance Target for the Performance Period, the attainment of which is necessary for the payment of a 200% Payment Opportunity.

          (j) Earnings Before Taxes. 20___ Long-Term Cash Bonus Award based on 20___ EBT for the Company’s industrial businesses (i.e., excluding petroleum products) of $___ (excluding amortization of goodwill).

     3. Award. The Participant is hereby awarded a Long-Term Cash Bonus Award under the Plan in an amount to be determined in accordance with the terms set forth in paragraph 2 above, subject to the achievement of the Performance Targets set forth therein. The Committee shall compute the specific amount of Long-Term Cash Bonus Award payable to the Participant hereunder by applying the Base Salary Factor set forth above to the Participant’s Base Salary in effect as of the end of the Performance Period and multiplying that product by the applicable payment opportunity as of the end of the Performance Period in accordance with the following formula:

Payment Opportunity X (Base Salary Factor X Base Salary)

In the event the Award calculated in accordance with the provisions of paragraph 2 above exceeds the maximum Award permissible under the terms of the Plan, then such Award shall automatically be reduced to the maximum permitted under the terms of the Plan.

     4. Payment. Unless the Participant’s Date of Termination occurs during the Performance Period, then, as soon as practicable following the end of the Performance Period, the Participant shall be paid in a lump sum in either cash or Restricted Stock, at the sole and absolute discretion of the Committee, an Award calculated in accordance with the terms and methodology set forth in paragraph 2 hereof. In the event the Participant’s Date of Termination occurs prior to the end of the Performance Period for any reason other than death, Disability, or Retirement, the Award granted hereunder, if any, shall be forfeited as of the Date of Termination, unless the Committee determines otherwise in its sole and absolute discretion. In the event the Participant’s Date of Termination occurs prior to the end of the Performance Period due to the Participant’s death, Disability, or Retirement, then the Participant shall receive a pro-rata payment of the Award payable hereunder, if any, at the end of the Performance Period, based on the portion of the Performance Period elapsed as of the Date of Termination and the achievement of the Performance Targets as of the end of the Performance Period.

     5. Assignment and Transfer. Participant shall not sell, transfer, assign, hypothecate, pledge, grant a security interest in, or in any other way alienate any Award granted hereunder, or any interest or right therein, except by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and any such attempted transfer, assignment, hypothecation, pledge or grant of a security interest shall be null and void and of no legal force or effect.

     6. Acceleration of Payment Upon Change of Control. In the event of a Change of Control, the Award granted hereunder shall be deemed to have been earned in full at the Target Payment Opportunity set forth in paragraph 2(e) above and shall be immediately payable to the Participant in a lump sum in cash.

     7. Withholding. All payments and distributions under this Agreement are subject to withholding of all applicable taxes.

If a deceased Participant designates a beneficiary but the Designated Beneficiary dies before the complete distribution of benefits to the Designated Beneficiary under this Agreement, then any benefits that would have been distributed to the Designated Beneficiary shall be distributed to the legal representative or the estate of the Designated Beneficiary.
