Item 1.01

Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Agreements with Apergy Corporation

On May 9, 2018, Dover Corporation (“Dover”) entered into definitive agreements with Apergy Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of Dover at that time (“Apergy”), that, among other things, set forth the terms and conditions of the separation of Apergy from Dover (the “Separation”) and provide a framework for Dover’s relationship with Apergy after the Separation, including the allocation between Dover and Apergy of Dover’s and Apergy’s assets, employees, liabilities and obligations attributable to periods prior to, at and after the Separation. In addition to the Separation and Distribution Agreement, which contains many of the key provisions related to the spin-off of Apergy and the distribution of 100% of Apergy’s outstanding common stock, par value $0.01 per share, to Dover’s shareholders (the “Distribution”), the parties also entered into, on May 9, 2018, an Employee Matters Agreement, a Tax Matters Agreement and a Transition Services Agreement.

Separation and Distribution Agreement

On May 9, 2018, Dover entered into a Separation and Distribution Agreement with Apergy that sets forth, among other things, the agreements between Dover and Apergy regarding the principal transactions necessary to effect the Separation and the Distribution. It also sets forth other agreements that govern certain aspects of Dover’s ongoing relationship with Apergy after the completion of the Separation and Distribution. The Separation and Distribution Agreement provides that:

•

Assets exclusively related to and liabilities to the extent relating to the Apergy businesses will be retained by or transferred to Apergy or one of Apergy’s subsidiaries.

•

All assets of Dover, other than the Apergy assets, and all liabilities to the extent relating to Dover’s retained business, will be retained by or transferred to Dover or one of its subsidiaries (other than Apergy or one of Apergy’s subsidiaries).

•

Liabilities related to, arising out of or resulting from businesses of Dover that were previously terminated or divested will be allocated among the parties to the extent formerly owned or managed by, or associated with, such parties or their respective businesses (subject to certain exceptions).

•

Except as otherwise provided in the Separation and Distribution Agreement or any ancillary agreement, all out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Dover or Apergy in connection with the Separation will be allocated between Dover and Apergy as disclosed in or contemplated by Apergy’s Information Statement, which is included as Exhibit 99.1 to Apergy’s Form 10 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 11, 2018.

Certain liabilities and obligations to be assumed by one party or for which one party has an indemnification obligation under the Separation and Distribution Agreement and the other agreements relating to the Separation may continue to be the legal or contractual liabilities or obligations of the other party. The party that continues to be subject to such liability or obligation will rely on the party that assumed the liability or obligation or the party that undertook an indemnification obligation with respect to the liability or obligation, as applicable, to satisfy the performance and payment obligations or indemnification obligations with respect thereto. In addition, the Separation and Distribution Agreement provides for cross-indemnities that are principally designed to place financial responsibility for the obligations and liabilities of Apergy’s business with Apergy and financial responsibility for the obligations and liabilities of Dover’s business with Dover.

Employee Matters Agreement

On May 9, 2018, Dover and Apergy entered into an Employee Matters Agreement which governs the respective rights, responsibilities and obligations of the parties in connection with the Separation with respect to employee-related matters. The Employee Matters Agreement provides for the allocation and treatment of assets and liabilities, as applicable, arising out of incentive plans, retirement plans, and employee health and welfare benefit programs in which Apergy’s employees participated prior to the Separation, and the treatment of outstanding Dover incentive awards. In general, Apergy assumed liabilities relating to its current and former employees incurred before the Separation. Dover retained liabilities accrued prior to the Separation relating to certain Apergy participants in

Dover’s U.S. defined benefit pension plan. Pursuant to the Employee Matters Agreement, other than with respect to Dover performance shares, outstanding Dover equity awards held by Apergy employees were converted to Apergy equity awards and outstanding Dover equity awards held by Dover employees and non-employee directors were equitably adjusted, in each case, as of May 9, 2018. Then-outstanding Dover performance shares held by Apergy employees which related to a performance period ending after the Separation were cancelled as of immediately prior to the Separation.

Tax Matters Agreement

On May 9, 2018, Dover and Apergy entered into a Tax Matters Agreement which governs Dover’s and Apergy’s respective rights, responsibilities and obligations after the Distribution with respect to tax liabilities (including taxes, if any, incurred as a result of any failure of the Distribution or certain related transactions to qualify for tax-free treatment for U.S. federal income tax purposes) and benefits, tax attributes, the preparation and filing of tax returns, the control of audits and other tax proceedings and other matters regarding taxes.

In general, under the agreement:

•

Dover and Apergy will each be liable for all pre-Distribution U.S. federal income taxes, foreign income taxes and non-income taxes imposed on them or any of their subsidiaries;

•

Dover and Apergy will each be liable for 50 percent of certain taxes that are incurred as a result of the restructuring activities undertaken to effectuate the Distribution or as a result of the application of certain rules relating to consolidated federal income tax returns;

•

Apergy will be liable for taxes incurred by Dover that may arise if Apergy takes, or fails to take, as the case may be, certain actions that may result in the Distribution failing to meet the requirements of a tax-free distribution under Section 355 of the Code;

•

Dover and Apergy will each be liable for 50 percent of taxes incurred by Dover upon the Distribution failing to meet the requirements for a tax-free distribution under Section 355 of the Code, where such failure was the result of an act or failure to act on the part of both Dover and Apergy or neither Dover or Apergy; and

•

Dover and Apergy will each be liable for any transition tax under Section 965 of the Code resulting from the deferred foreign income of any of their non-U.S. subsidiaries (determined following the Distribution).

Neither party’s obligations under the agreement will be limited in amount or subject to any cap.

Apergy also agreed to certain covenants that contain restrictions intended to preserve the tax-free status of the Separation, the Distribution and certain related transactions. Apergy and certain of its subsidiaries are barred from taking any action, or failing to take any action, where such action or failure to act may be expected to result in any increased tax liability or reduced tax attribute of Dover or any of its subsidiaries (determined following the Distribution). In addition, during the time period ending two years after the date of the Distribution, these covenants include specific restrictions on the ability of Apergy and certain of its subsidiaries to:

•

issue or sell stock or other securities (including securities convertible into Apergy stock but excluding certain compensatory arrangements);

•

cease to actively conduct its business or dispose of assets outside the ordinary course of business; and

•

enter into certain other corporate transactions which would cause Apergy to undergo a 40% or greater change in its stock ownership.

Apergy generally agreed to indemnify Dover and its affiliates against any and all tax-related liabilities incurred by them relating to the Separation, the Distribution and/or certain related transactions to the extent caused by an acquisition of Apergy stock or assets or by any other action or failure to act undertaken by Apergy or its affiliates. This indemnification provision will apply even if Apergy is permitted to take an action that would otherwise have been prohibited under the tax-related covenants described above.

Transition Services Agreement

On May 9, 2018, Dover and Apergy entered into a Transition Services Agreement pursuant to which Dover agreed to provide Apergy with various services, including certain information technology services, and Apergy agreed to provide Dover with various services, including certain services related to transitioning operations.

Apergy will pay a fee to Dover for any services utilized under the Transition Services Agreement at an agreed amount as set forth in the agreement, which fee is generally intended to allow Dover to recover all of its direct and indirect costs, generally without profit. Except as provided otherwise in the Transition Services Agreement, or with respect to specific services with other specified terms, the initial term of the Transition Services Agreement will end on January 31, 2019, and the term may then be extended until the one-year anniversary of execution of the Transition Services Agreement or such other period set forth on the schedules thereto (subject to earlier termination under certain circumstances).

The foregoing summaries do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Separation and Distribution Agreement, Employee Matters Agreement, Tax Matters Agreement and Transition Services Agreement, which are filed herewith as Exhibits 2.1, 10.1, 10.2 and 10.3, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated by reference into this Item 1.01.

Item 2.01

Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

On May 9, 2018, Dover effected the Distribution and completed the separation of Apergy from Dover. Apergy is now an independent public company and commenced trading “regular way” under the symbol “APY” on the New York Stock Exchange on May 9, 2018. On May 9, 2018, the shareholders of record as of 5:00 p.m., New York time, on April 30, 2018 (the “Record Date”) received one share of Apergy common stock for every two shares of Dover common stock held as of the Record Date. Dover did not issue fractional shares of Apergy’s common stock in the Distribution. Fractional shares that Dover shareholders would otherwise have been entitled to receive were aggregated into whole shares to be sold in the open market at prevailing market prices by the distribution agent. The aggregate net cash proceeds of these sales will be distributed ratably to those shareholders who would otherwise have been entitled to receive fractional shares.

On May 9, 2018, Dover issued a press release announcing the completion of the Distribution. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 5.02

Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers

In connection with the Distribution, on May 9, 2018, Mr. Sivasankaran Somasundaram resigned from his position as an executive officer of Dover. Mr. Somasundaram is the President & Chief Executive Officer and a director of Apergy.

SEPARATION AND DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENT

THIS SEPARATION AND DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is entered into as of May 9, 2018, by and between Dover Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Dover”), and Apergy Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Apergy”) (each a “Party” and together, the “Parties”). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to them in Section 1.1 hereof.

R E C I T A L S:

WHEREAS, Dover, acting through its direct and indirect Subsidiaries, currently conducts a number of businesses, including the Apergy Business;

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of Dover has determined that it is appropriate, desirable and in the best interests of Dover and its stockholders to separate Dover into two separate companies: (i) one comprising the Apergy Business, which shall be owned and conducted, directly or indirectly, by Apergy, all of the common stock of which is intended to be distributed to Dover stockholders; and (ii) one comprising the Dover Business, which shall continue to be owned and conducted, directly or indirectly, by Dover;

WHEREAS, in order to effect such separation, the Board of Directors of Dover has determined that it is appropriate, desirable and in the best interests of Dover and its stockholders: (i) for Dover and its Subsidiaries to enter into a series of transactions whereby Dover and its Subsidiaries will be reorganized such that (A) Dover and/or one or more other members of the Dover Group will own all of the Dover Assets and assume (or retain) all of the Dover Liabilities and (B) Apergy and/or one or more other members of the Apergy Group will own all of the Apergy Assets and assume (or retain) all of the Apergy Liabilities (the transactions referred to in clauses (A) and (B) being referred to herein as the “Reorganization”); and thereafter (ii) for Dover to cause the Agent to distribute to the holders of Dover Common Stock as of the Record Date on a pro rata basis all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Apergy (the “Apergy Common Stock”) (such transactions described in clauses (i) and (ii), as may be amended or modified from time to time in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, the “Separation”);

WHEREAS, Apergy has been incorporated for this purpose and has not engaged in activities prior to the date hereof except in preparation for its corporate reorganization (including activities with respect to the Apergy Financing Arrangements) and the distribution of its stock;

WHEREAS, Dover and Apergy have determined that it is necessary and desirable, at or prior to the Effective Time, to allocate, transfer or assign the Apergy Assets and Apergy Liabilities to the Apergy Group, and to allocate, transfer or assign the Dover Assets and Dover Liabilities to the Dover Group;

WHEREAS, the Parties intend that the Distribution, together with certain related transactions, generally will qualify as tax-free for U.S. federal income tax purposes under Sections 368(a)(1)(D) and 355 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), that other transactions connected with the Separation will also qualify as tax-free for U.S. federal income tax purposes under applicable provisions of the Code and that this Agreement is intended to be, and is hereby adopted as, a plan of reorganization under Section 368 of the Code to the extent relevant for these transactions; and

WHEREAS, the Parties intend in this Agreement to set forth the principal arrangements between them with respect to the Separation and Distribution and that certain other agreements will govern certain other matters following the Effective Time.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual agreements, provisions and covenants contained in this Agreement, the Parties, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:

(b) Except as provided in Section 2.4, Section 2.12, Article VI or as set forth in subsection (c) below, no Party or any member of such Party’s Group shall have any Liability to the other Party or any member of such other Party’s Group based upon, arising out of or resulting from any Contract, course of dealing or understanding, whether or not in writing, entered into or existing at or prior to the Effective Time between such Party or such member of such Party’s Group, on the one hand, and the other Party or any member of such other Party’s Group, on the other hand, and each Party hereby terminates, and shall cause all members in its Group to terminate, any and all Contracts, courses of dealing or understandings between it or any members in its Group, on the one hand, and the other Party or any members of such other Party’s Group, on the other hand, effective as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, and any such

Liability, whether or not in writing, is hereby irrevocably cancelled, released and waived effective as of the Effective Time. No such terminated Contract, course of dealing or understanding (including any provision thereof which purports to survive such termination) shall be of any further force or effect after the Effective Time. Each Party shall, at the reasonable request of the other Party, take, or cause to be taken, any reasonably requested actions necessary to effect the foregoing.

(c) The provisions of Section 2.6(b) shall not apply to any of the following Contracts, courses of dealing or understandings (or to any of the provisions thereof):

(ii) any Intercompany Accounts listed or described on Schedule 2.4(a);

Section 2.7 Transfers Not Effected At or Prior to the Effective Time; Transfers Deemed Effective as of the Effective Time.

(a) To the extent that any Transfers or assumptions contemplated by this Article II shall not have been consummated at or prior to the Effective Time (including any matters set forth on Schedule 2.7(a)), the Parties shall cooperate and use commercially reasonable efforts to effect such Transfers or assumptions as promptly following the Effective Time as shall be reasonably practicable. Nothing herein shall be deemed to require or constitute the Transfer of any Assets or the assumption of any Liabilities which by their terms or operation of Law cannot be Transferred or assumed; provided, however, that the Parties shall, and shall

cause the respective members of their Groups to, cooperate and use commercially reasonable efforts to seek to obtain, in accordance with applicable Law, any necessary Consents or Governmental Approvals for the Transfer of all Assets and assumption of all Liabilities contemplated to be Transferred or assumed pursuant to this Article II; provided further that except to the extent expressly provided in this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements or as otherwise agreed between the Parties, neither Dover nor Apergy shall be obligated to contribute material capital or pay any material consideration in any form (including providing any letter of credit, guaranty or other financial accommodation) to any Person in order to obtain or make such Consents or Governmental Approvals. In the event that any such Transfer of Assets or assumption of Liabilities has not been consummated as of the Effective Time, then from and after the Effective Time (i) the Party (or relevant member in its Group) retaining such Asset shall thereafter hold (or shall cause such member in its Group to hold) such Asset in trust for the use and benefit of the Party (or relevant member in its Group) entitled thereto (at the expense of the Person entitled thereto) and (ii) the Party intended to assume such Liability shall, or shall cause the applicable member of its Group to, pay or reimburse the Party (or the relevant member of its Group) retaining such Liability for all amounts paid or incurred in connection with the retention of such Liability; provided that in the event that any such Transfer of Assets or assumption of Liabilities is not able to be completed within 18 months following the Effective Time, the Parties shall cooperate and use commercially reasonable efforts to determine the appropriate treatment (including potential disposition) of such Asset or Liability. To the extent the foregoing applies to any Contracts (other than Shared Contracts, which shall be governed solely by Section 2.9) to be assigned for which any necessary Consents or Governmental Approvals are not received prior to the Effective Time, the treatment of such Contracts shall, for the avoidance of doubt, be subject to Section 2.10 and Section 2.11, to the extent applicable. In addition, the Party retaining such Asset or Liability (or relevant member of its Group) shall (or shall cause such member in its Group to) treat, insofar as is reasonably practicable and to the extent permitted by applicable Law, such Asset or Liability in the ordinary course of business in accordance with past practice and take such other actions as may be reasonably requested by the Party to which such Asset is to be Transferred or by the Party assuming such Liability in order to place such Party, insofar as is reasonably practicable and to the extent permitted by applicable Law, in the same position as if such Asset or Liability had been Transferred or assumed as contemplated hereby and so that all the benefits and burdens relating to such Asset or Liability, including possession, use, risk of loss, potential for income and gain, and dominion, control and command over such Asset or Liability, are to inure from and after the Effective Time to the relevant member or members of the Dover Group or the Apergy Group, as the case may be, entitled to the receipt of such Asset or required to assume such Liability pursuant to this Article II. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Parties agree that, as of the Effective Time, subject to Section 2.11(b), each Party shall be deemed to have acquired complete and sole beneficial ownership over all of the Assets, together with all rights, powers and privileges incident thereto, and shall be deemed to have assumed in accordance with the terms of this Agreement all of the Liabilities, and all duties, obligations and responsibilities incident thereto, which such Party is entitled to acquire or required to assume pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

(b) If and when all Consents, Governmental Approvals and/or conditions, the absence or non-satisfaction of which caused the deferral of Transfer of any Asset or assumption of any Liability pursuant to Section 2.7(a), are obtained or satisfied, the Parties shall cause the Transfer, assumption or novation of the applicable Asset or Liability to be effected without

further consideration in accordance with and subject to the terms of this Agreement (including Sections 2.2 and 2.3) and/or the applicable Ancillary Agreement as promptly as reasonably practicable after the receipt of such Consents, Governmental Approvals and/or absence or satisfaction of conditions, and such Transfer, assumption or novation shall, to the extent possible without the imposition of any undue cost on any Party, be deemed to have become effective as of the Effective Time.

(c) The Party (or relevant member of its Group) retaining any Asset or Liability due to the deferral of the Transfer of such Asset or the deferral of the assumption of such Liability pursuant to Section 2.7(a) shall (i) not be obligated, in connection with the foregoing, to expend any money unless the necessary funds are advanced, assumed, or agreed in advance to be reimbursed, by the Party (or relevant member of its Group) entitled to such Asset or the Person intended to be subject to such Liability, other than reasonable attorneys’ fees and recording or similar or other incidental fees, all of which shall be promptly reimbursed by the Party (or relevant member of its Group) entitled to such Asset or the Person intended to be subject to such Liability and (ii) be indemnified for all Indemnifiable Losses or other Liabilities arising out of any actions (or omissions to act) of such retaining Party taken at the direction of the other Party (or relevant member of its Group) in connection with and relating to such retained Asset or Liability, as the case may be.

(d) From the Effective Time until the two year anniversary of this Agreement, if either Party determines that it (or any member of its Group) owns any Asset that was allocated by the terms of this Agreement to be Transferred to the other Party at the Effective Time or that is agreed by such Party and the other Party in their good faith judgment to be an Asset that more properly belongs to the other Party or an Asset that such other Party or Subsidiary was intended to have the right to continue to use, then the Party owning such Asset shall as applicable (i) Transfer any such Asset to the Party (or relevant member of its Group) identified as the appropriate transferee and following such Transfer, such Asset shall be an Apergy Asset or Dover Asset, as the case may be, or (ii) grant such mutually agreeable rights with respect to such Asset to permit such continued use, subject to and consistent with this Agreement, including with respect to assumption of associated Liabilities. In connection with such Transfer, the receiving party shall assume all Liabilities related to such Asset.

(e) After the Effective Time, each Party (or any member of its Group) may receive mail, packages and other communications properly belonging to the other Party (or any member of its Group). Accordingly, at all times after the Effective Time, each Party authorizes the other Party (or any member of its Group) to receive and open all mail, packages and other communications received by such Party (or any member of its Group) and not unambiguously intended for such first Party, any member of such first Party’s Group or any of their respective officers, directors, employees or other agents, and to the extent that they do not relate solely to the business of the receiving Party, the receiving party shall promptly deliver such mail, packages or other communications (or, in case the same relate to both businesses, copies thereof) to the other Party as provided for in Section 10.6. The provisions of this Section 2.7(e) are not intended to, and shall not, be deemed to constitute an authorization by any Party (or any member of its Group) to permit the other to accept service of process on its (or its members’) behalf and no Party (or any member of its Group) is or shall be deemed to be the agent of the other Party (or any member of its Group) for service of process purposes.

Section 2.8 Transfer Documents. In connection with, and in furtherance of, the Transfers of Assets and the acceptance and assumptions of Liabilities contemplated by this Agreement, the Parties shall execute or cause to be executed, at or prior to the Effective Time, or after the Effective Time with respect to Section 2.7, by the appropriate entities, the Transfer Documents necessary to evidence the valid and effective assumption by the applicable Party (or any member of its Group) of its assumed Liabilities, and the valid Transfer to the applicable Party (or any member of its Group) of all rights, titles and interests in and to its accepted Assets, including the Transfer of real property with quit claim deeds, as may be appropriate.

Section 2.9 Shared Contracts.

(a) With respect to Shared Contractual Liabilities pursuant to, under or relating to a given Shared Contract, such Shared Contractual Liabilities shall be allocated, unless otherwise allocated pursuant to this Agreement or an Ancillary Agreement, between the Parties as follows:

(i) first, if a Liability is incurred exclusively in respect of a benefit received by one Party or its Group, the Party or Group receiving such benefit shall be responsible for such Liability;

(ii) second, if a Liability cannot be exclusively allocated to one Party or its Group under clause (i) above, such Liability shall be allocated among both Parties and their respective Groups based on the relative proportions of total benefit received (over the term of the Shared Contract, measured as of the date of allocation) under the relevant Shared Contract. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Party and its Group shall be responsible for any or all Liabilities arising out of or resulting from such Party’s or Group’s breach of the relevant Shared Contract.

(b) Except as otherwise expressly contemplated in this Agreement or an Ancillary Agreement, if Dover or any member of the Dover Group, on the one hand, or Apergy or any member of the Apergy Group, on the other hand, receives any benefit or payment under any Shared Contract which was intended for the other Party or its Group, Dover, on the one hand, or Apergy, on the other hand, will use its respective commercially reasonable efforts, or will cause any member of its Group to use its commercially reasonable efforts, to deliver, transfer or otherwise afford such benefit or payment to the other Party.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Parties have determined that it is advisable that certain Shared Contracts, or portions thereof, will be separated or assigned to a member of the Dover Group or Apergy Group, as applicable. The Parties shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to separate the Shared Contracts which are identified on Schedule 2.9(c)(i) into separate Contracts between the appropriate Third Party and either Apergy or a member of the Apergy Group or Dover or a member of the Dover Group. Dover or a member of the Dover Group will use commercially reasonable efforts to assign the rights and obligations, but only to the extent relating to the Apergy Business, under the Shared Contracts which are identified on Schedule 2.9(c)(ii) to Apergy or a member of the Apergy Group. The Parties agree to cooperate and provide reasonable assistance prior to the Effective Time and for a period of six months following the Effective Time (with no obligation on the part of either Party to pay any costs or fees with respect to such assistance) in effecting the separation or assignment of such Shared Contracts as described above.

Section 2.10 Further Assurances.

(a) In addition to and without limiting the actions specifically provided for elsewhere in this Agreement and subject to the limitations expressly set forth in this Agreement, including Section 2.7, each of the Parties shall cooperate with each other and use (and will cause the relevant member of its Group to use) commercially reasonable efforts, prior to, on and after the Effective Time, to take, or to cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or to cause to be done, all things reasonably necessary on its part under applicable Law or contractual obligations to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements.

(b) Without limiting the foregoing each Party shall cooperate with the other Party, and without any further consideration, but at the expense of the requesting Party (except as provided in Sections 2.7, 10.5(b), and 10.5(c)), from and after the Effective Time, to execute and deliver, or use commercially reasonable efforts to cause to be executed and delivered, all instruments, including instruments of Transfer or title or other Contracts, to make all filings, to obtain all Consents and/or Governmental Approvals, and to take all such other actions as such Party may reasonably be requested to take by the other Party from time to time, consistent with the terms of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, in order to effectuate the provisions and purposes of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements and the Transfers of the applicable Assets and the assignment and assumption of the applicable Liabilities and the other transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. Without limiting the foregoing, each Party will, at the reasonable request, cost and expense of the other Party (except as provided in Sections 2.7, 10.5(b), and 10.5(c)), take such other actions as may be reasonably necessary to vest in such other Party such title and rights as possessed by the Transferring Party to the Assets allocated to such other Party under this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements, free and clear of any Security Interest, if and to the extent it is reasonably practicable to do so.

(c) From and after the Effective Time, with respect to any Action where any Party hereto (or any member of such Party’s Group) is a defendant, when and if requested by such Party, the other Party shall, unless such other Party reasonably determines that doing so would unduly burden or prejudice such other Party’s position with respect to such Action, petition the applicable court to remove the requesting Party (or such member of such Party’s Group) as a defendant to the extent that such Action relates solely to Assets or Liabilities that the other Party (or any member of such other Party’s Group) has been allocated pursuant to this Article II, and the other Party shall cooperate and assist in any required communication with any plaintiff or other related Third Party.

(d) On or prior to the Distribution Date, Dover and Apergy in their respective capacities as direct or indirect stockholders of their respective Subsidiaries, shall each ratify any actions that are reasonably necessary or desirable to be taken by any Subsidiary of Dover or Subsidiary of Apergy, as the case may be, to effectuate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements.

Section 2.11 Novation of Liabilities; Consents.

(a) Each Party, at the request of the other Party or any member of the other Party’s Group (such other Party, the “Other Party”), shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, or to cause to be obtained, any Consent, release, substitution or amendment required to novate or assign all obligations under Contracts (other than Shared Contracts, which shall be governed by Section 2.9) or other Liabilities (other than with regard to guarantees or letters of credit, which shall be governed by Section 2.12) for which a member of such Party’s Group and a member of the Other Party’s Group are jointly or severally liable and that do not constitute Liabilities of such other Party as provided in this Agreement, or to obtain in writing the unconditional release of all parties to such arrangements (other than any member of the Group who assumed or retained such Liability as set forth in this Agreement), so that, in any such case, the members of the applicable Group shall be solely responsible for such Contracts or Liabilities; provided, however, that no Party shall be obligated to pay any consideration therefor to any Third Party from whom any such Consent, release, substitution or amendment is requested (unless such Party is fully reimbursed by the requesting Other Party).

(b) If the Parties are unable to obtain, or to cause to be obtained, any such required Consent, release, substitution or amendment described in Section 2.11(a), the Other Party or a member of such Other Party’s Group shall continue to be bound by such Contract, license or other obligation that does not constitute a Liability of such Other Party and, to the extent permitted by Law and the terms thereof, as agent or subcontractor for such Other Party, the Party or member of such Party’s Group who assumed or retained such Liability as set forth in this Agreement (the “Liable Party”) shall, or shall cause a member of its Group to, pay, perform and discharge fully all the obligations or other Liabilities of such Other Party or member of such Other Party’s Group thereunder from and after the Effective Time; provided, however, that the Other Party shall not be obligated to extend, renew or otherwise cause such Contract, license or other obligation to remain in effect beyond the term in effect as of the Effective Time. The Liable Party shall indemnify each Other Party and the members of such Other Party’s Group and hold each of them harmless against any and all Liabilities (other than Liabilities of such Other Party) arising in connection therewith; provided that the Liable Party shall have no obligation to indemnify the Other Party or any member of such Other Party’s Group with respect to any matter to the extent that such Liabilities arise from such Other Party’s willful misconduct or fraud in connection therewith, in which case such Other Party shall be responsible for such Liabilities. The Other Party shall, without further consideration, promptly pay and remit, or cause to be promptly paid or remitted, to the Liable Party or, at the direction of the Liable Party, to another member of the Liable Party’s Group, all money, rights and other consideration received by it or any member of its Group in respect of such performance by the Liable Party (unless any such consideration is an Asset of such Other Party pursuant to this Agreement). If and when any such Consent, release, substitution or amendment shall be obtained or such agreement, lease, license or other rights or obligations shall otherwise become assignable or able to be novated, the Other Party shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, promptly Transfer or cause the Transfer of all rights, obligations and other Liabilities thereunder of such Other Party or any member of such Other Party’s Group to the Liable Party or to another member of the Liable Party’s Group without payment of any further consideration and the Liable Party, or another member of such Liable Party’s Group, without the payment of any further consideration, shall assume such rights and Liabilities to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law.

Section 2.12 Guarantees and Letters of Credit.

(a) Except as otherwise specified in any Ancillary Agreement, at or prior to the Effective Time, Dover shall (with the commercially reasonable cooperation of Apergy and the other members of the Apergy Group) use its commercially reasonable efforts, if so requested by Apergy, to have any member of the Apergy Group removed as guarantor of, or obligor for, any Dover Liability, including with respect to those guarantees and obligations listed or described on Schedule 2.12(a), to the extent that they relate to Dover Liabilities.

(b) Except as otherwise specified in any Ancillary Agreement, at or prior to the Effective Time, Apergy shall (with the commercially reasonable cooperation of Dover and the other members of the Dover Group) use its commercially reasonable efforts, if so requested by Dover, to have any member of the Dover Group removed as guarantor of, or obligor for, any Apergy Liability, including with respect to those guarantees listed or described on Schedule 2.12(b), to the extent that they relate to the Apergy Liabilities (each of the releases referred to in subsections (a) and (b) of this Section 2.12, a “Guaranty Release”).

(i) to the extent required to obtain a release from a guaranty of any member of the Dover Group, Apergy shall execute a guaranty agreement substantially in the form of the existing guaranty or such other form as is agreed to by the relevant parties to such guaranty agreement, except to the extent that such existing guaranty contains representations, covenants or other terms or provisions either (A) with which Apergy would be reasonably unable to comply or (B) which would be reasonably expected to be breached; and

(ii) to the extent required to obtain a release from a guaranty of any member of the Apergy Group, Dover shall execute a guaranty agreement substantially in the form of the existing guaranty or such other form as is agreed to by the relevant parties to such guaranty agreement, except to the extent that such existing guaranty contains representations, covenants or other terms or provisions either (A) with which Dover would be reasonably unable to comply or (B) which would be reasonably expected to be breached.

(d) If Dover or Apergy is unable to obtain, or to cause to be obtained, any removal of any guarantee or other obligation as set forth in clauses (a) and (b) of this Section 2.12, (i) the relevant beneficiary shall indemnify and hold harmless the guarantor or obligor for any Indemnifiable Loss arising from or relating thereto (in accordance with the provisions of Article VI) and shall or shall cause one of its Subsidiaries to, as agent or subcontractor for such guarantor or obligor, pay, perform and discharge fully all the obligations or other Liabilities of such guarantor or obligor thereunder, (ii) the relevant beneficiary shall pay to the guarantor or obligor a fee payable at the end of each calendar quarter based on a rate of 0.65% per annum on the average outstanding amount of the obligation underlying such guarantee or obligation during such quarter and (iii) each of Dover and Apergy shall not and shall cause the members of the respective Groups not to, renew or extend the term of, increase its obligations under, or transfer

to a Third Party, any loan, guarantee, lease, contract or other obligation for which the other Party or member of such other Party’s Group is or may be liable unless all obligations of such other Party and the other members of such Party’s Group with respect thereto are thereupon terminated by documentation reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to such other Party; provided, however, that with respect to leases, in the event a Guaranty Release is not obtained and such first Party wishes to extend the term of such guaranteed lease then such first Party shall have the option of extending the term if it provides such security as is reasonably satisfactory to the guarantor under such guaranteed lease.

(e) Dover and Apergy shall cooperate and Apergy shall use commercially reasonable efforts to replace all letters of credit, performance bonds, surety bonds, bankers acceptances or similar arrangements issued by Dover or other members of the Dover Group on behalf of or in favor of any member of the Apergy Group or the Apergy Business (the “Dover LCs”) as promptly as practicable with letters of credit, performance bonds, surety bonds, bankers acceptances or similar arrangements from Apergy or a member of the Apergy Group as of the Effective Time. With respect to any Dover LCs that remain outstanding after the Effective Time (i) Apergy shall, and shall cause the members of the Apergy Group to, jointly and severally indemnify and hold harmless the Dover Indemnitees for any Indemnifiable Loss arising from or relating to such Dover LCs, including any fees in connection with the issuance and maintenance thereof and any funds drawn by (or for the benefit of), or disbursements made to, the beneficiaries of such Dover LCs in accordance with the terms thereof, (ii) Apergy shall pay to Dover a fee payable at the end of each calendar quarter based on a rate of 0.65% per annum on the average outstanding balance during such quarter of any outstanding Dover LCs and (iii) without the prior written consent of Dover, Apergy shall not, and shall not permit any member of the Apergy Group to, enter into, renew or extend the term of, increase its obligations under, or transfer to a Third Party, any loan, lease, Contract or other obligation in connection with which Dover or any member of the Dover Group has issued any Dover LCs which remain outstanding. Neither Dover nor any member of the Dover Group will have any obligation to renew any letters of credit, performance bonds, surety bonds, bankers acceptances or similar arrangements issued on behalf of or in favor of any member of the Apergy Group or the Apergy Business after the expiration of any such letter of credit, performance bond, surety bond, bankers acceptance or similar arrangement.

Section 2.13 Disclaimer of Representations and Warranties.

(a) EACH OF DOVER (ON BEHALF OF ITSELF AND EACH OTHER MEMBER OF THE DOVER GROUP), AND APERGY (ON BEHALF OF ITSELF AND EACH OTHER MEMBER OF THE APERGY GROUP) UNDERSTANDS AND AGREES THAT, EXCEPT AS MAY EXPRESSLY BE SET FORTH HEREIN, IN ANY ANCILLARY AGREEMENT OR IN ANY CONTINUING ARRANGEMENT, NO PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY ANCILLARY AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER AGREEMENT OR DOCUMENT CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY IS REPRESENTING OR WARRANTING IN ANY WAY, AND HEREBY DISCLAIMS ALL REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES, AS TO THE ASSETS, BUSINESSES OR LIABILITIES CONTRIBUTED, TRANSFERRED, DISTRIBUTED OR ASSUMED AS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY, AS TO ANY CONSENTS OR GOVERNMENTAL APPROVALS REQUIRED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THEREWITH, AS TO THE VALUE OR

EXCEPT AS MAY EXPRESSLY BE SET FORTH HEREIN OR IN ANY ANCILLARY AGREEMENT, ALL ASSETS ARE BEING TRANSFERRED ON AN “AS IS,” “WHERE IS” BASIS (AND, IN THE CASE OF ANY REAL PROPERTY, BY MEANS OF A QUITCLAIM OR SIMILAR FORM OF DEED OR CONVEYANCE WITHOUT WARRANTY) AND THE RESPECTIVE TRANSFEREES SHALL BEAR ALL ECONOMIC AND LEGAL RISKS THAT (I) ANY CONVEYANCE SHALL PROVE TO BE INSUFFICIENT TO VEST IN THE TRANSFEREE GOOD TITLE, FREE AND CLEAR OF ANY SECURITY INTEREST, AND (II) ANY NECESSARY CONSENTS OR GOVERNMENTAL APPROVALS ARE NOT OBTAINED OR THAT ANY REQUIREMENTS OF LAWS, CONTRACTS, OR JUDGMENTS ARE NOT COMPLIED WITH. ALL WARRANTIES OF HABITABILITY, MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND ALL OTHER WARRANTIES ARISING UNDER THE UNIFORM COMMERCIAL CODE (OR SIMILAR FOREIGN LAWS), ARE HEREBY DISCLAIMED.

(b) Each of Dover (on behalf of itself and each member of the Dover Group) and Apergy (on behalf of itself and each member of the Apergy Group) further understands and agrees that if the disclaimer of express or implied representations and warranties contained in Section 2.13(a) is held unenforceable or is unavailable for any reason under the Laws of any jurisdiction outside the United States or if, under the Laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States, both Dover or any member of the Dover Group, on the one hand, and Apergy or any member of the Apergy Group, on the other hand, are jointly or severally liable for any Dover Liability or any Apergy Liability, respectively, then, the Parties intend that, notwithstanding any provision to the contrary under the Laws of such foreign jurisdictions, the provisions of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements (including the disclaimer of all representations and warranties, allocation of Liabilities among the Parties and their respective Subsidiaries, releases, indemnification and contribution of Liabilities) shall prevail for any and all purposes among the Parties and their respective Subsidiaries.

(c) Dover hereby waives compliance by itself and each and every member of the Dover Group with the requirements and provisions of any “bulk-sale” or “bulk transfer” Laws of any jurisdiction that may otherwise be applicable with respect to the transfer or sale of any or all of the Dover Assets to Dover or any member of the Dover Group.

(d) Apergy hereby waives compliance by itself and each and every member of the Apergy Group with the requirements and provisions of any “bulk-sale” or “bulk transfer” Laws of any jurisdiction that may otherwise be applicable with respect to the transfer or sale of any or all of the Apergy Assets to Apergy or any member of the Apergy Group.

Dover and Apergy shall participate in the preparation of all materials and presentations as may be reasonably necessary to secure funding pursuant to the Apergy Financing Arrangements, including rating agency presentations necessary to obtain the requisite ratings needed to secure the financing under any of the Apergy Financing Arrangements. The Parties agree that Apergy, and not Dover, shall be ultimately responsible for all costs and expenses incurred by, and for reimbursement of such costs and expenses to, any member of the Dover Group or Apergy Group associated with the Apergy Financing Arrangements. It is the intent of the Parties that the Financing Cash Payment is made in connection with the Separation, including the transfer of the Apergy Assets to Apergy in the Reorganization whenever made.

THE DISTRIBUTION

Section 4.1 Stock Dividend to Dover; Distribution. On or prior to the Distribution Date, in connection with the Separation, including the Transfer of the Apergy Assets to Apergy in the Reorganization whenever made, Apergy shall issue to Dover as a stock dividend such number of shares of Apergy Common Stock (or Dover and Apergy shall take or cause to be taken such other appropriate actions to ensure that Dover has the requisite number of shares of Apergy Common Stock) as may be requested by Dover after consultation with Apergy in order to effect the Distribution, which shares as of the date of issuance shall represent (together with such shares previously held by Dover) all of the issued and outstanding shares of Apergy Common Stock. Subject to the conditions and other terms in this Article IV, Dover will cause the Agent on the Distribution Date to make the Distribution, including by crediting the appropriate number of shares of Apergy Common Stock to book entry accounts for each holder of Dover Common Stock or designated transferee or transferees of such holder of Dover Common Stock. For stockholders of Dover who own Dover Common Stock through a broker or other nominee, their shares of Apergy Common Stock will be credited to their respective accounts by such broker or nominee. No action by any holder of Dover Common Stock (or such holder’s designated transferee or transferees) on the Record Date shall be necessary for such stockholder (or such stockholder’s designated transferee or transferees) to receive the applicable number of shares of Apergy Common Stock (and, if applicable, cash in lieu of any fractional shares) such stockholder is entitled to in the Distribution.

Section 4.2 Fractional Shares. Dover stockholders who, after aggregating the number of shares of Apergy Common Stock (or fractions thereof) to which such stockholder would be entitled on the Record Date, would be entitled to receive a fraction of a share of Apergy Common Stock in the Distribution, will receive cash in lieu of fractional shares. Fractional shares of Apergy Common Stock will not be distributed in the Distribution nor credited to book-entry accounts. The Agent shall, as soon as practicable after the Distribution Date (a) determine the number of whole shares and fractional shares of Apergy Common Stock allocable to each other holder of record or beneficial owner of Dover Common Stock as of close of business on the Record Date, (b) aggregate all such fractional shares into whole shares and sell the whole shares obtained thereby in open market transactions at then prevailing trading prices on behalf of holders who would otherwise be entitled to fractional share interests and (c) distribute to each such holder, or for the benefit of each such beneficial owner, such holder’s or owner’s ratable share of the net proceeds of such sale, based upon the average gross selling price per share of Apergy Common Stock, after making appropriate deductions for any amount required to be

withheld for United States federal income tax purposes. Apergy shall bear the cost of brokerage fees and transfer taxes incurred in connection with these sales of fractional shares, which such sales shall occur as soon after the Distribution Date as practicable and as determined by the Agent. None of Dover, Apergy or the applicable Agent will guarantee any minimum sale price for the fractional shares of Apergy Common Stock. Neither Dover nor Apergy will pay any interest on the proceeds from the sale of fractional shares. The Agent will have the sole discretion to select the broker-dealers through which to sell the aggregated fractional shares and to determine when, how and at what price to sell such shares. Neither the Agent nor the selected broker-dealers will be Affiliates of Dover or Apergy.

Section 4.3 Actions in Connection with the Distribution.

(a) Apergy shall file or cause to be filed such amendments and supplements to the Form 10 as Dover may reasonably request, and such amendments as may be necessary in order to cause the same to become and remain effective as required by Law, including filing such amendments and supplements to the Form 10 and Information Statement as may be required by the Commission or federal, state or foreign securities Laws. Dover shall, or at Dover’s election Apergy shall, mail (or deliver by electronic means where not prohibited by Law) to the holders of Dover Common Stock, at such time on or prior to the Distribution Date as Dover shall reasonably determine, the Information Statement included in the Form 10, as well as any other information concerning Apergy, Apergy’s business, operations and management, the Separation and such other matters as Dover shall reasonably determine are necessary and as may be required by Law (or, in lieu of such mailing, shall mail to such holders a Notice of Internet Availability of Information Statement Materials). Promptly after receiving a request from Dover, Apergy shall prepare and, in accordance with applicable Law, file with the Commission any such documentation that Dover determines is necessary or desirable to effectuate the Distribution, and Dover and Apergy shall each use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all necessary approvals from the Commission with respect thereto as soon as practicable.

(c) Promptly after receiving a request from Dover, Apergy shall prepare and file, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to have approved and made effective, an application for the original listing on the NYSE of the Apergy Common Stock to be distributed in the Distribution, subject to official notice of distribution.

(d) Nothing in this Section 4.3 shall be deemed, by itself, to shift Liability to or otherwise create a Liability for Dover for any portion of the Form 10.

Section 4.4 Sole Discretion of Dover. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, Dover shall, in its sole and absolute discretion, determine the Distribution Date, the Effective Time and all terms of the Distribution, including the form, structure and terms of any transactions to effect the Distribution and the timing of and conditions to the consummation thereof. In addition, Dover may, in its sole discretion, in accordance with Section 10.10, at any time prior to the Distribution Date and from time to time until the completion of the Distribution decide to abandon the Distribution or modify or change the terms of the Distribution, including by accelerating or delaying the timing of the consummation of all or part of the Distribution.

Subject to Section 4.4, the following are conditions to the consummation of the Distribution (which, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, may be waived, in whole or in part, by Dover in its sole discretion).

(a) Except as otherwise specifically provided in any Ancillary Agreement, as soon as reasonably practicable after the Distribution Date, but in any event within six months thereafter, each Party shall cease (and shall cause all of the other members of its Group to cease): (i) making any use of any names or Trademarks that include (A) any of the Trademarks of the other Party or such other Party’s Affiliates (including, in the case of Apergy, “Dover”, “Dover Corporation” or the Dover logo or any other name or Trademark containing the words “Dover” or the logos or names set forth on Schedule 5.2(a)(i), and in the case of Dover, “Apergy”, “Apergy Corporation” or the Apergy logo or any other name or Trademark containing the words “Apergy” or the logos or names set forth on Schedule 5.2(a)(ii)) and (B) any names or Trademarks confusingly similar thereto or dilutive thereof (with respect to each Party, such Trademarks of the other Party or any of such other Party’s Affiliates, the “Other Party Marks”) and (ii) holding themselves out as having any affiliation with the other Party or such other Party’s Affiliates; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit any Party or any member of a Party’s Group from (1) in the case of any member of the Apergy Group, making factual and accurate reference in a non-prominent manner that it was formerly affiliated with Dover or in the case of any member of the Dover Group, making factual and accurate reference in a non-prominent manner that it was formerly affiliated with Apergy, (2) making use of any Other Party Mark in a manner that would constitute “fair use” under applicable Law if any unaffiliated Third Party made such use or would otherwise be legally permissible for any unaffiliated Third Party without the consent of the Party owning such Other Party Mark, (3) in the case of any member of the Apergy Group, using, solely in connection with the operation of the Apergy Business and in the ordinary course in accordance with the prior practices of the Apergy Business, any existing inventory and packaging included in the Apergy Assets containing the Trademarks of Dover or Dover’s Affiliates for a period of 18 months following the Distribution Date and (4) making references in internal historical and tax records. In furtherance of the foregoing, as soon as practicable, but in no event later than six months following the Distribution Date (or 18 months following the Distribution Date pursuant to clause

(3) of the previous sentence, as applicable), each Party shall (and cause all of the other members of its Group to) remove, strike over or otherwise obliterate all Other Party Marks from all of such Party’s and its Affiliates’ Assets and other materials owned by or in the possession of such Party or any member or such Party’s Group, including any vehicles, business cards, schedules, stationery, packaging materials, displays, signs, promotional materials, manuals, forms, websites, email, computer software and other materials and systems; provided, however, that Apergy shall promptly after the Distribution Date post a disclaimer in a form and manner reasonably acceptable to Dover on the “www.apergy.com” website informing its customers that as of the Effective Time and thereafter Apergy, and not Dover, is responsible for the operation of the Apergy Business, including such website and any applicable services. Any use by any Party or any of such Party’s Affiliates of any of the Other Party Marks as permitted in this Section 5.2 is subject to their compliance in all material respects with all quality control standards and related requirements and guidelines in effect for the Other Party Marks as of the Effective Time. No Party or any member of its Group shall use the Other Party Marks in a manner that may reflect negatively on such name and marks or on the other Party or any member of such Party’s Group. Each Party shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the other Party and the members of the other Party’s Group from and against any and all Indemnifiable Losses arising from or relating to the use by any member of such first Party’s Group of the Other Party Marks pursuant to this Section 5.2(a).

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing requirements of Section 5.2(a), if any Party or any member of such Party’s Group has used commercially reasonable efforts to comply with Section 5.2(a) but is unable, due to regulatory or other circumstance beyond its control, to effect a legal name change in compliance with applicable Law such that an Other Party Mark remains in such Party’s or its Group member’s legal name, then such Party or its relevant Group member will not be deemed to be in breach hereof as long as it continues to use commercially reasonable efforts to effectuate such name change and does effectuate such name change within 12 months after the Distribution Date, and, in such circumstances, such Party or Group member may continue to include in its Assets and other materials references to the Other Party Mark that is in such Party’s or Group member’s legal name which includes references to “Apergy” or “Dover” as applicable, but only to the extent necessary to identify such Party or Group member and only until such Party’s or Group member’s legal name can be changed to remove and eliminate such references.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing requirements of Section 5.2(a), Apergy shall not be required to change any name including the words “Dover” in any Third Party Contract, or in property records with respect to real or personal property, if an effort to change the name is commercially unreasonable; provided, however, that (i) Apergy on a prospective basis from and after the Distribution Date shall change the name in any new or amended Third Party Contract or property record and (ii) Apergy shall not advertise or make public any continued use of the “Dover” name permitted by this Section 5.2(c).

Section 5.3 Auditors and Audits; Annual and Quarterly Financial Statements and Accounting.

(a) Each Party agrees that during the period ending on June 30, 2020 with respect to paragraph (1) below and June 30, 2019 with respect to paragraph (2) (and with the

consent of the other applicable Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, during any period of time after June 30, 2019 reasonably requested by such requesting Party so long as there is a reasonable business purpose for such request) and in any event solely with respect to the preparation and audit of each of the Party’s financial statements for any of the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, the printing, filing and public dissemination of such financial statements, the audit of each Party’s internal control over financial reporting related to such financial statements and such Party’s management’s assessment thereof, and each Party’s management’s assessment of such Party’s disclosure controls and procedures related to such financial statements:

(1) Annual Financial Statements. Each Party shall provide to the other Party on a timely basis all information reasonably required to meet its schedule for the preparation, printing, filing, and public dissemination of its annual financial statements and for management’s assessment of the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures and its internal control over financial reporting in accordance with Items 307 and 308, respectively, of Regulation S-K and, to the extent applicable to such Party, (a) its auditor’s audit report of its internal control over financial reporting and (b) management’s assessment thereof in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the Commission’s and Public Company Accounting Oversight Board’s rules and auditing standards thereunder (such assessments and audit being referred to as the “Internal Control Audit and Management Assessments”). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Party will provide all required financial and other Information with respect to itself and its Subsidiaries to its auditors in a sufficient and reasonable time and in sufficient detail to permit its auditors to take all steps and perform all reviews necessary to provide sufficient assistance to each other Party’s auditors with respect to information to be included or contained in such other Party’s annual financial statements and to permit such other Party’s auditors and management to complete their respective auditor’s report on Internal Control Audit and Management Assessments, to the extent applicable to such Party.

(2) Access to Personnel and Records. Each audited Party shall authorize, and use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause, its respective auditors to make available to the other Party’s auditors (each such other Party’s auditors, collectively, the “Other Parties’ Auditors”) both the personnel who performed or are performing the annual audits of such audited Party (each such Party with respect to its own audit, the “Audited Party”) and work papers related to the annual audits of such Audited Party (subject to the execution of any reasonable and customary access letters that such Audited Party’s auditors may require in connection with the review of such work papers by such Other Party’s Auditors), in all cases within a reasonable time prior to such Audited Party’s expected auditors’ opinion date, so that the Other Parties’ Auditors are able to perform the procedures they consider necessary to take responsibility for the work of the Audited Party’s auditors as it relates to their auditors’ report on such other Party’s financial statements, all within sufficient time to enable such other Party to meet its timetable for the printing, filing and public dissemination of its annual financial statements. Each Party shall make available to the Other Parties’ Auditors and management its personnel and Records in a reasonable time prior to the Other Parties’ Auditors’ opinion date and other Parties’ management’s assessment date so that the Other Parties’ Auditors and other Parties’ management are able to perform the procedures they consider necessary to conduct their respective Internal Control Audit and Management Assessments.

(b) Amended Financial Reports. In the event a Party restates any of its financial statements that includes such Party’s audited or unaudited financial statements with respect to any balance sheet date or period of operation between January 1, 2013 and December 31, 2018, such Party will deliver to the other Party a substantially final draft, as soon as the same is prepared, of any report to be filed by such first Party with the Commission that includes such restated audited or unaudited financial statements (the “Amended Financial Reports”); provided, however, that such first Party may continue to revise its Amended Financial Report prior to its filing thereof with the Commission, which changes will be delivered to the other Party as soon as reasonably practicable; provided further, however, that such first Party’s financial personnel will actively consult with the other Party’s financial personnel regarding any changes which such first Party may consider making to its Amended Financial Report and related disclosures prior to the anticipated filing of such report with the Commission, with particular focus on any changes which would have an effect upon the other Party’s financial statements or related disclosures. Each Party will reasonably cooperate with, and permit and make any necessary employees available to, the other Party and the Other Parties’ Auditors, in connection with the other Party’s preparation of any Amended Financial Reports.

(c) Financials; Outside Auditors. If any Party or member of its respective Group is required, pursuant to Rule 3-09 of Regulation S-X or otherwise, to include in its Exchange Act filings audited financial statements or other information of the other Party or member of the other Party’s Group, the other Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts (i) to provide such audited financial statements or other information and (ii) to cause its outside auditors to consent to the inclusion of such audited financial statements or other information in the Party’s Exchange Act filings.

(d) Third Party Agreements. Nothing in this Section 5.3 shall require any Party to violate any Contract or arrangement with any Third Party regarding the confidentiality of confidential and proprietary information relating to that Third Party or its business; provided, however, that in the event that a Party is required under this Section 5.3 to disclose any such information, such Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to seek to obtain such Third Party’s consent to the disclosure of such information. The Parties also acknowledge that the Other Parties’ Auditors are subject to contractual, legal, professional and regulatory requirements which such auditors are responsible for complying with.

Section 5.4 No Restrictions on Corporate Opportunities.

(a) In the event that Dover or any other member of the Dover Group, or any director or officer of Dover or any other member of the Dover Group, acquires knowledge of a potential transaction or matter that may be a corporate opportunity for both Dover or any other member of the Dover Group and Apergy or any other member of the Apergy Group, neither Dover nor any other member of the Dover Group, nor any director or officer of Dover or any other member of the Dover Group, shall have any duty to communicate or present such corporate opportunity to Apergy or any other member of the Apergy Group and shall not be liable to Apergy or any other member of the Apergy Group or to Apergy’s stockholders for breach of any fiduciary duty as a stockholder of Apergy or an officer or director thereof by reason of the fact that Dover or any other member of the Dover Group pursues or acquires such corporate opportunity for itself, directs such corporate opportunity to another person or entity or does not present such corporate opportunity to Apergy or any other member of the Apergy Group.

(b) In the event that Apergy or any other member of the Apergy Group, or any director or officer of Apergy or any other member of the Apergy Group, acquires knowledge of a potential transaction or matter that may be a corporate opportunity for both Dover or any other member of the Dover Group and Apergy or any other member of the Apergy Group, neither Apergy nor any other member of the Apergy Group, nor any director or officer of Apergy or any other member of the Apergy Group, shall have any duty to communicate or present such corporate opportunity to Dover or any other member of the Dover Group and shall not be liable to Dover or any other member of the Dover Group or to Dover’s stockholders for breach of any fiduciary duty as a stockholder of Dover or an officer or director thereof by reason of the fact that Apergy or any other member of the Apergy Group pursues or acquires such corporate opportunity for itself, directs such corporate opportunity to another person or entity or does not present such corporate opportunity to Dover or any other member of the Dover Group.

(c) For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent that any person who is a director or officer of Dover or any other member of the Dover Group is also a director or officer of Apergy or any other member of the Apergy Group, such person shall have no duty to communicate or present any corporate opportunity of which he or she acquires knowledge to Apergy or any other member of the Apergy Group and shall not be liable to Apergy or any other member of the Apergy Group or to Apergy’s stockholders for breach of any fiduciary duty as an officer or director of Apergy by reason of the fact that Dover or any other member of the Dover Group pursues or acquires such corporate opportunity, directs such corporate opportunity to another Person or does not present such corporate opportunity to Apergy or any other member of the Apergy Group.

(d) For the purposes of this Section 5.4, “corporate opportunities” of Apergy or any other member of the Apergy Group shall include business opportunities that are, by their nature, in a line of business of Apergy or any other member of the Apergy Group, including the Apergy Business, are of practical advantage to them and are ones in which Apergy or any other member of the Apergy Group have an interest or a reasonable expectancy, and in which, by embracing the opportunities, the self-interest of Dover or any other member of the Dover Group or any of their officers or directors will be brought into conflict with that of Apergy or any other member of the Apergy Group, and “corporate opportunities” of Dover or any other member of the Dover Group shall include business opportunities that are, by their nature, in a line of business of Dover or any other member of the Dover Group, including the Dover Business, are of practical advantage to them and are ones in which Dover or any other member of the Dover Group have an interest or a reasonable expectancy, and in which, by embracing the opportunities, the self-interest of Apergy or any other member of the Apergy Group or any of their officers or directors will be brought into conflict with that of Dover or any other member of the Dover Group.

Section 5.5 Patent Covenant Not to Sue. Effective as of the Closing Date, Apergy, on behalf of itself and the other members of the Apergy Group, (the “Covenant Parties”), hereby covenants to Dover and the other members of the Dover Group, that none of the Covenant Parties shall bring any Action against any of Dover or the other members of the Dover Group

anywhere in the world relating to or arising from an alleged infringement, misappropriation, violation or similar claim with respect to the patent listed on Schedule 1.1(11)(vii) arising from Dover’s or the other members of the Dover Group’s use of such patent in the current and future operation of the Dover Business (the “Permitted Business”). Each of Dover and the other members of the Dover Group may extend the benefits of the above covenant solely to: (i) any current or future affiliate created as part of an internal reorganization, (ii) third-party suppliers, manufacturers, contractors or consultants, solely to the extent such third parties perform services on behalf of or provide products to Dover or the other members or the Dover Group in connection with the Permitted Business, (iii) distributors or partners, solely to the extent such persons use or resell, license or distribute products or services received from Dover or the other members of the Dover Group as part of the Permitted Business, or (iv) customers, solely for end-use purposes with respect to products or services received from Dover or the other members of the Dover Group as part of the Permitted Business.

Section 6.1 Release of Pre-Distribution Claims.

(b) Nothing contained in Section 6.1(a) shall impair or otherwise affect any right of any Party, and as applicable, a member of the Party’s Group to enforce this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement or any agreements, arrangements, commitments or understandings unrelated to the Separation and Distribution and explicitly contemplated in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement to continue in effect after the Effective Time. In addition, nothing contained in Section 6.1(a) shall release any Person from:

(ii) any Liability provided in or resulting from any other Contract or understanding that is entered into after the Effective Time between one Party (and/or a member of such Party’s Group), on the one hand, and the other Party (and/or a member of such Party’s Group), on the other hand;

(iii) any Liability that the Parties may have with respect to indemnification or contribution pursuant to this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, including in respect of Actions brought against the Parties (or members of their respective Groups) by any Third Party, which Liability shall be governed by the provisions of this Article VI and, if applicable, the appropriate provisions of the Ancillary Agreements;

(iv) any Liability with respect to any Continuing Arrangements or any Intercompany Accounts that survive the Effective Time pursuant to Section 2.4(b); and

(v) any Liability the release of which would result in a release of any Person other than the Persons released in Section 6.1(a); provided that the Parties agree not to bring any Action or permit any other member of their respective Group to bring any Action against a Person released in Section 6.1(a) with respect to such Liability.

In addition, nothing contained in Section 6.1(a) shall release any member of the Dover Group from honoring its existing obligations to indemnify any director, officer or employee of Apergy who was a director, officer or employee of Dover or any of its Affiliates at or prior to the Effective Time, to the extent such director, officer or employee is or becomes a named defendant in any Action with respect to which he or she was entitled to such indemnification pursuant to obligations existing prior to the Effective Time; it being understood that if the underlying obligation giving rise to such Action is an Apergy Liability, Apergy shall indemnify Dover for such Liability (including Dover’s costs to indemnify the director, officer or employee) in accordance with the provisions set forth in this Article VI.

(c) Each Party shall not, and shall not permit any member of its Group to, make any claim or demand, or commence any Action asserting any claim or demand, including any claim of contribution or indemnification, against the other Party or any member of any other Party’s Group, or any other Person released pursuant to Section 6.1(a), with respect to any and all Liabilities released pursuant to Section 6.1(a).

(d) It is the intent of each Party, by virtue of the provisions of this Section 6.1, to provide for a full and complete release and discharge of all Liabilities existing or arising from all acts and events occurring or failing to occur or alleged to have occurred or to have failed to

occur and all conditions existing or alleged to have existed on or before the Effective Time, whether known or unknown, between or among one Party and/or a member of such Party’s Group, on the one hand, and the other Party and/or a member of such other Party’s Group, on the other hand (including any contractual agreements or arrangements existing or alleged to exist between or among any such members on or before the Effective Time), except as specifically set forth in Sections 6.1(a) and 6.1(b).

(e) If any Person associated with a Party (including any director, officer or employee of a Party) initiates an Action with respect to claims released by this Section 6.1, the Party with which such Person is associated shall be responsible for the fees and expenses of counsel of the other Party and such other Party shall be indemnified for all Liabilities incurred in connection with such Action in accordance with the provisions set forth in this Article VI.

(f) At any time, at the request of any Party, each Party shall cause each member of its respective Group and to the extent practicable each other Person on whose behalf it released Liabilities pursuant to this Section 6.1 to execute and deliver releases reflecting the provisions hereof.

Section 6.2 Indemnification by Dover. Except as otherwise specifically set forth in any provision of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement or as set forth in Schedule 6.2, following the Effective Time, Dover and each member of the Dover Group shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Apergy Indemnitees from and against any and all Indemnifiable Losses arising out of, by reason of or otherwise in connection with (i) the Dover Liabilities, including the failure of any member of the Dover Group or any other Person to pay, perform or otherwise discharge any Dover Liability in accordance with its respective terms, whether prior to, on or after the Effective Time or (ii) any breach by any member of the Dover Group of any provision of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, unless such Ancillary Agreement expressly provides for separate indemnification therein, in which case any such indemnification claims shall be made thereunder.

Section 6.3 Indemnification by Apergy. Except as otherwise specifically set forth in any provision of this Agreement or of any Ancillary Agreement, Apergy and each member of the Apergy Group shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Dover Indemnitees from and against any and all Indemnifiable Losses arising out of, by reason of or otherwise in connection with (i) the Apergy Liabilities, including the failure of any member of the Apergy Group or any other Person to pay, perform or otherwise discharge any Apergy Liability or Apergy Contract in accordance with its respective terms, whether prior to, on or after the Effective Time or (ii) any breach by Apergy or any member of the Apergy Group of any provision of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, unless such Ancillary Agreement expressly provides for separate indemnification therein, in which case any such indemnification claims shall be made thereunder.

Section 6.4 Procedures for Indemnification.

(a) An Indemnitee shall give the Indemnifying Party written notice of any matter that an Indemnitee has determined has given or could reasonably be expected to give rise to a right of indemnification under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement (other than a

Third Party Claim which shall be governed by Section 6.4(b)), within ten Business Days of such determination, stating the expected amount of the Indemnifiable Loss claimed, if known, and method of computation thereof, and containing a reference to the provisions of this Agreement in respect of which such right of indemnification is claimed by such Indemnitee or arises; provided, however, that the failure to provide such written notice within the ten Business Day period described above shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations except and solely to the extent the Indemnifying Party shall have been materially prejudiced as a result of such failure (except that the Indemnifying Party or Parties shall not be liable for any expenses incurred during the period in which the Indemnitee failed to give such notice). The Indemnifying Party will have a period of 30 days after receipt of a notice under this Section 6.4(a) within which to respond thereto. If the Indemnifying Party fails to respond within such period, the Liability specified in such notice from the Indemnitee shall be conclusively determined to be a Liability of the Indemnifying Party hereunder. If such Indemnifying Party responds within such period and rejects such claim in whole or in part, the disputed matter shall be resolved in accordance with Article VIII.

(b) If a claim or demand (including the commencement of an Action) is made against a Dover Indemnitee or an Apergy Indemnitee (each, an “Indemnitee”) by any Third Party as to which such Indemnitee is or may be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement (a “Third Party Claim”), such Indemnitee shall notify the Party which is or may be required pursuant to this Article VI or pursuant to any Ancillary Agreement to make such indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing, and in reasonable detail (which notice obligation may be satisfied by providing copies of all notices and documents received by the Indemnitee relating to the Third Party Claim), of the Third Party Claim promptly (and in any event within ten Business Days) after receipt by such Indemnitee of written notice of the Third Party Claim; provided, however, that the failure to provide notice of any such Third Party Claim pursuant to this sentence shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations except and solely to the extent the Indemnifying Party shall have been materially prejudiced as a result of such failure (except that the Indemnifying Party or Parties shall not be liable for any expenses incurred during the period in which the Indemnitee failed to give such notice). Thereafter, the Indemnitee shall deliver to the Indemnifying Party, promptly (and in any event within ten Business Days) after the Indemnitee’s receipt thereof, copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Indemnitee relating to the Third Party Claim.

(c) Other than in the case of a Liability being managed by a Party in accordance with any Ancillary Agreement and except as set forth in Schedule 6.4(c) or Section 6.4(k), an Indemnifying Party shall be entitled (but shall not be required) to assume and control the defense of, and seek to settle or compromise any Third Party Claim, at such Indemnifying Party’s own cost and expense and by such Indemnifying Party’s own counsel, that is reasonably acceptable to the applicable Indemnitees, if it gives notice of its intention to do so to the applicable Indemnitees within 30 days of the receipt of such notice from such Indemnitees. After notice from an Indemnifying Party to an Indemnitee of its election to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, such Indemnitee shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in (but not control) the defense, compromise, or settlement thereof, at its own expense and, in any event, shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in such defense and make available to the Indemnifying Party all witnesses, pertinent Information and materials in such Indemnitee’s possession or under such Indemnitee’s control relating thereto as are reasonably

required by the Indemnifying Party. In the event of a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the applicable Indemnitee(s), or in the event that any Third Party Claim seeks equitable relief which would restrict or limit the future conduct of the Indemnitee’s business or operations, such Indemnitee(s) shall be entitled to retain, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, separate counsel and to participate in (but not control) the defense, compromise, or settlement of that portion of the Third Party Claim that involves such conflict of interest or seeks equitable relief with respect to the Indemnitee(s).

(d) If an Indemnifying Party elects not to assume responsibility for defending a Third Party Claim, or fails to notify an Indemnitee of its election as provided in Section 6.4(c), such Indemnitee may defend such Third Party Claim at the cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnitee is conducting the defense against any such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall cooperate with the Indemnitee in such defense and make available to the Indemnitee all witnesses, pertinent Information and materials in such Indemnifying Party’s possession or under such Indemnifying Party’s control relating thereto as are reasonably required by the Indemnitee.

(e) Unless the Indemnifying Party has failed to assume the defense of the Third Party Claim in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, no Indemnitee may settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any Third Party Claim without the consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If an Indemnifying Party has failed to assume the defense of the Third Party Claim within the time period specified in clause (c) above, it shall not be a defense to any obligation to pay any amount in respect of such Third Party Claim that the Indemnifying Party was not consulted in the defense thereof, that such Indemnifying Party’s views or opinions as to the conduct of such defense were not accepted or adopted, that such Indemnifying Party does not approve of the quality or manner of the defense thereof or that such Third Party Claim was incurred by reason of a settlement rather than by a judgment or other determination of liability.

(f) In the case of a Third Party Claim, no Indemnifying Party shall consent to entry of any judgment with respect to, or enter into any settlement or compromise of, the Third Party Claim without the consent of the Indemnitee, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld, unless such settlement, compromise or judgment is solely for monetary damages, does not involve any finding or determination of wrongdoing or violation of Law by the Indemnitee and provides for a full, unconditional and irrevocable release of the Indemnitee from all Liability in connection with the Third Party Claim. Subject to the foregoing sentence, in the event the Indemnifying Party enters into a settlement or compromise in accordance with the foregoing sentence with respect to a Third Party Claim, the defense of which was assumed pursuant to Section 6.4(c), then any such settlement or compromise made or caused to be made of a Third Party Claim in accordance with this Article VI shall be binding on the Indemnitee, in the same manner as if a final judgment or decree had been entered by a court of competent jurisdiction in the amount of such settlement or compromise.

(g) Except as otherwise provided in Section 10.20 or any Ancillary Agreement, absent fraud or willful misconduct by an Indemnifying Party, the indemnification provisions of this Article VI shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of an Indemnitee for any monetary or compensatory damages or losses resulting from any breach of this Agreement

(including with respect to monetary or compensatory damages or losses arising out of or relating to, as the case may be, any Apergy Liability or Dover Liability) or any Ancillary Agreement, and each Indemnitee expressly waives and relinquishes any and all rights, claims or remedies such Person may have with respect to the foregoing other than under this Article VI against any Indemnifying Party. The remedies provided in this Article VI shall be cumulative and shall not preclude assertion by any Indemnitee of any other rights or the seeking of any and all other remedies against any Indemnifying Party. For the avoidance of doubt, all disputes in respect of this Article VI shall be resolved in accordance with Article VIII.

(h) Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent any Ancillary Agreement provides procedures for indemnification that differ from the provisions set forth in this Section 6.4, the terms of the Ancillary Agreement will govern.

(i) Any Indemnitee that has made a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Section 6.4 shall use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate any Indemnifiable Losses in respect thereof.

(j) The provisions of this Article VI shall apply to Third Party Claims that are already pending or asserted as well as Third Party Claim brought or asserted after the date of this Agreement. There shall be no requirement under this Section 6.4 to give a notice with respect to any Third Party Claim that exists as of the Effective Time. The Parties acknowledge that Liabilities for Actions (regardless of the parties to the Actions) may be partly Dover Liabilities and partly Apergy Liabilities. If the Parties cannot agree on the allocation of any such Liabilities for Actions, they shall resolve the matter pursuant to the procedures set forth in Article VIII. Neither Party shall, nor shall either Party permit its Subsidiaries to, file Third Party Claims or cross-claims against the other Party or its Subsidiaries in an Action in which a Third Party Claim is being resolved.

(k) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 6.4, Dover may elect to have exclusive authority and control over the investigation, prosecution, defense and appeal of the matters set forth on Schedule 6.4(k) and all Actions pending at the Effective Time which relate to or arise out of the Apergy Business, the Apergy Assets or the Apergy Liabilities if such Action also relates to the Dover Assets and Dover Liabilities and a member of the Dover Group is also named as a target or defendant thereunder (but excluding any such Actions which solely relate to or solely arise in connection with the Apergy Business, the Apergy Assets or the Apergy Liabilities); provided that (i) Dover will consult with Apergy on a regular basis with respect to strategy and developments with respect to any such Action, (ii) if Dover fails to take reasonable steps necessary to defend diligently such Action, Apergy may assume such defense, and Dover will be liable for its proportionate share of reasonable costs or expenses paid or incurred in connection with such defense, (iii) Apergy has the right to participate in (but, subject to clause (ii) above, not control) the defense of such Action, and (iv) Dover shall not settle, compromise or consent to the entry of judgment with respect to such Action without the consent of Apergy unless such settlement, compromise, or judgment (A) provides relief consisting solely of money damages borne by Dover, (B) does not involve any finding or determination of wrongdoing or violation of Law by Apergy and (C) provides for a full, unconditional and irrevocable release of Apergy from all Liability in connection with such Action. After any compromise, settlement, or consent to entry of judgment, Dover and Apergy

will agree upon a reasonable allocation to Apergy and Apergy will be responsible for or receive, as the case may be, Apergy’s proportionate share of any such compromise, settlement, consent or judgment attributable to the Apergy Business, the Apergy Assets or the Apergy Liabilities, including its proportionate share of the reasonable costs and expenses associated with defending same. If the Parties cannot agree on the allocation of any such Liabilities for Actions, they shall resolve the matter pursuant to the procedures set forth in Article VIII.

Section 6.5 Indemnification Payments. Indemnification required by this Article VI shall be made from time to time by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or an Indemnifiable Loss incurred.

Section 6.6 Additional Matters; Survival of Indemnities.

(a) The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Article VI shall remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of (i) any investigation made by or on behalf of any Indemnitee and (ii) the knowledge by the Indemnitee of Indemnifiable Losses for which it might be entitled to indemnification or contribution hereunder. The indemnity agreements contained in this Article VI shall survive the Distribution.

(b) The rights and obligations of each Party and their respective Indemnitees under this Article VI shall survive (i) the sale or other Transfer by any Party or its Affiliates of any Assets or businesses or the assignment by it of any and all Liabilities and (ii) any merger, consolidation, business combination, sale of all or substantially all of the Assets, restructuring, recapitalization, reorganization or similar transaction involving either Party or any of its Subsidiaries.

(c) Indemnification under this Article VI shall be treated for Tax purposes consistent with the private letter ruling, and if not addressed therein, to the extent allowed under existing Tax Law, in one of the following ways: (i) if made by Dover to Apergy, such payment shall be treated as an additional part of the transfer by Dover to Apergy in the Separation and if made from Apergy to Dover, such payment shall be treated as a reduction in the amount of the transfer by Dover to Apergy in the Separation.

Section 6.7 Indemnification Obligations Net of Insurance Proceeds and Other Amounts; Contribution.

(a) Insurance Proceeds and Other Amounts. The Parties intend that any Indemnifiable Loss subject to indemnification or contribution pursuant to this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement: (i) shall be reduced by any Insurance Proceeds or other amounts actually recovered (net of any out-of-pocket costs or expenses actually incurred in the collection thereof) from any Person by or on behalf of the Indemnitee in respect of any indemnifiable Liability; (ii) shall not be increased to take into account any Tax costs incurred by the Indemnitee arising from any Indemnity Payments received from the Indemnifying Party; and (iii) shall not be reduced to take into account any Tax benefit received by the Indemnitee arising from the incurrence or payment of any Indemnity Payment. Accordingly, the amount which an Indemnifying Party is required to pay to any Indemnitee shall be reduced by any Insurance Proceeds or any other amounts theretofore actually recovered (net of any out-of-pocket costs or expenses actually

incurred in the collection thereof) by or on behalf of the Indemnitee in respect of the related Liability. If an Indemnitee receives a payment required by this Agreement from an Indemnifying Party in respect of any Liability (an “Indemnity Payment”) and subsequently receives Insurance Proceeds or any other amounts in respect of the related Liability, then the Indemnitee shall pay to the Indemnifying Party an amount equal to the excess of the Indemnity Payment received over the amount of the Indemnity Payment that would have been due if the Insurance Proceeds or such other amounts (net of any out-of-pocket costs or expenses actually incurred in the collection thereof) had been received, realized or recovered before the Indemnity Payment was made.

(b) Insurers and Other Third Parties Not Relieved. The Parties hereby agree that an insurer or other Third Party that would otherwise be obligated to pay any amount shall not be relieved of the responsibility with respect thereto or have any subrogation rights with respect thereto by virtue of any provision contained in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, and that no insurer or any other Third Party shall be entitled to a “windfall” (e.g., a benefit they would not otherwise be entitled to receive, or the reduction or elimination of an insurance coverage obligation that they would otherwise have, in the absence of the indemnification or release provisions) by virtue of any provision contained in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement. Each Party shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, use commercially reasonable efforts to collect or recover, or allow the Indemnifying Party to collect or recover, any Insurance Proceeds that may be collectible or recoverable respecting the Liabilities for which indemnification may be available under this Article VI. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Indemnifying Party may not delay making any indemnification payment required under the terms of this Agreement, or otherwise satisfying any indemnification obligation, pending the outcome of any Action to collect or recover Insurance Proceeds, and an Indemnitee need not attempt to collect any Insurance Proceeds prior to making a claim for indemnification or receiving any Indemnity Payment otherwise owed to it under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement.

(c) Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Article VI is unavailable for any reason to an Indemnitee (other than failure to provide notice in accordance with Section 6.4(a) or (b)) in respect of any Indemnifiable Loss, then the Indemnifying Party shall, in accordance with this Section 6.7(c), contribute to the Indemnifiable Losses incurred, paid or payable by such Indemnitee as a result of such Indemnifiable Loss in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of Apergy and each other member of the Apergy Group, on the one hand, and Dover and each other member of the Dover Group, on the other hand, in connection with the circumstances which resulted in such Indemnifiable Loss. With respect to any Indemnifiable Losses arising out of or related to information contained in the Distribution Disclosure Documents or other securities law filing, the relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission of a material fact relates to information supplied by the Apergy Business or a member of the Apergy Group, on the one hand, or the Dover Business or a member of the Dover Group, on the other hand. The information on Schedule 1.1(50)(iv)(A) shall be deemed supplied by the Dover Business. All other information in the Distribution Disclosure Documents shall be deemed supplied by the Apergy Business or the members of the Apergy Group. With respect to Pre-Separation Disclosure, any disclosure relating to the Dover Business shall be deemed supplied by the Dover Business or the members of the Dover Group and any disclosure relating to the Apergy Business shall be deemed supplied by the Apergy Business or the members of the Apergy Group.

Section 6.8 Cooperation in Defense and Settlement. With respect to any Third Party Claim that implicates two or more Parties (or any member of such Parties’ respective Groups) in any material respect due to the allocation of Liabilities, responsibilities for management of defense and related indemnities pursuant to this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements, the applicable Parties agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate fully and maintain a joint defense (in a manner that will preserve for all Parties any privilege with respect thereto). The Party that is not responsible for managing the defense of any such Third Party Claim shall, upon reasonable request, be consulted with respect to significant matters relating thereto and may, if necessary or helpful, retain counsel (at its sole expense) to assist in the defense of such claims.

Section 6.9 Limitation of Liability. IN NO EVENT SHALL ANY PARTY OR ANY OTHER MEMBER OF ANY GROUP BE LIABLE TO ANY OTHER PARTY OR ANY MEMBER OF ANOTHER GROUP FOR EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, MULTIPLE, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, INDIRECT OR SIMILAR DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOSS OF FUTURE PROFITS, REVENUE OR INCOME, DIMINUTION IN VALUE OR LOSS OF BUSINESS REPUTATION OR OPPORTUNITY, HOWEVER CAUSED AND ON ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE) ARISING IN ANY WAY OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER SUCH DAMAGES WERE FORESEEABLE OR SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT AWARDED BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION IN CONNECTION WITH A THIRD-PARTY CLAIM.

Section 6.10 Covenant not to Sue. Each Party hereby covenants and agrees that neither it nor the members of such Party’s Group nor any Person claiming through it shall bring suit or otherwise assert any claim against any Indemnitee, or assert a defense against any claim asserted by any Indemnitee, before any court, arbitrator, mediator or administrative agency anywhere in the world, alleging that: (a) the assumption of any Apergy Liabilities by Apergy or a member of the Apergy Group on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements is void or unenforceable for any reason; (b) the retention of any Dover Liabilities by Dover or any member of the Dover Group on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements is void or unenforceable for any reason; or (c) the provisions of this Article VI are void or unenforceable for any reason.

ARTICLE VII

CONFIDENTIALITY; ACCESS TO INFORMATION

Section 7.1 Preservation of Corporate Records. The Parties agree that upon written request from the other that certain Information relating to the Apergy Business, the Dover Business or the transactions contemplated hereby be retained in connection with an Action, the Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to preserve and not to destroy or dispose of such Information without the consent of the requesting Party.

Section 7.2 Provision of Corporate Records. Other than in circumstances in which indemnification is sought pursuant to Article VI (in which event the provisions of such Article will govern), for matters related to the provision of Tax information (in which event the provisions of the Tax Matters Agreement shall govern) or as provided in Section 6.1 of the Employee Matters Agreement and without limiting the applicable provisions of Article VI, and subject to appropriate restrictions for classified Information, Privileged Information or Confidential Information and subject further to any restrictions or limitations contained in Section 5.3 or elsewhere in this Article VII:

(a) After the Effective Time, upon the prior written reasonable request by, and at the expense of, Apergy for specific and identified Information which (x) primarily relates to any member of the Apergy Group or the conduct of the Apergy Business (including Apergy Assets and Apergy Liabilities), as the case may be, up to the Effective Time or (y) is necessary for Apergy to comply with the terms of, or otherwise perform under, any Shared Contract or Ancillary Agreement to which Dover and/or Apergy are parties, Dover shall provide, as soon as reasonably practicable following the receipt of such request, appropriate copies of such Information (or the originals thereof if Apergy has a reasonable need for such originals) in the possession or control of Dover or any of its Affiliates, but only to the extent such items so relate and are not already in the possession or control of a member of the Apergy Group; provided that, to the extent any originals are delivered to any member of the Apergy Group pursuant to this Agreement, a Shared Contract or the Ancillary Agreements, Apergy shall or cause the applicable member of its Group to, at its own expense, return them to Dover within a reasonable time after the need to retain such originals has ceased.

(b) After the Effective Time, upon the prior written reasonable request by, and at the expense of, Dover for specific and identified Information which (x) primarily relates to any member of the Dover Group or the conduct of the Dover Business (including Dover Assets and Dover Liabilities), as the case may be, up to the Effective Time or (y) is necessary for Dover to comply with the terms of, or otherwise perform under, any Shared Contract or Ancillary Agreement to which Dover and/or Apergy are parties, Apergy shall provide, as soon as reasonably practicable following the receipt of such request, appropriate copies of such Information (or the originals thereof if Dover has a reasonable need for such originals) in the possession or control of Apergy or any of its Affiliates, but only to the extent such items so relate and are not already in the possession or control of a member of the Dover Group; provided that, to the extent any originals are delivered to any member of the Dover Group pursuant to this Agreement, a Shared Contract or the Ancillary Agreements, Dover shall or cause the applicable member of its Group to, at its own expense, return them to Apergy within a reasonable time after the need to retain such originals has ceased.

(c) In connection with the provision of information under this Section 7.2, the providing Party shall be entitled to redact any portion of the information to the extent related to any matter other than the receiving Party’s business.

Section 7.3 Access to Information. Other than in circumstances in which indemnification is sought pursuant to Article VI (in which event the provisions of such Article will govern), for matters related to the provision of Tax information (in which event the provisions of the Tax Matters Agreement shall govern) or as provided in Section 6.1 of the Employee Matters Agreement and without limiting the applicable provisions of Article VI, and subject to any restrictions or limitations contained in Section 5.3 or elsewhere in this Article VII, from and after the Effective Time, each of Dover and Apergy shall afford to the other and its

authorized accountants, counsel and other designated representatives reasonable access during normal business hours, subject to appropriate restrictions for classified Information, Privileged Information or Confidential Information and to the requirements of any applicable Law, to the personnel, properties, and Information of such Party and its Subsidiaries insofar as such access is reasonably required by the other Party, and only for the duration such access is required, and (x) primarily relates to such other Party or the conduct of its business prior to the Effective Time or (y) is necessary for such party to comply with the terms of, or otherwise perform under, any Shared Contract or Ancillary Agreement; provided, however, that in the event that a Party determines that any such access or the provision of any such Information (including Information requested under Section 5.3 or Section 7.2) would be commercially detrimental in any material respect, violate any Law or Contract with a Third Party or waive any attorney-client privilege, rights under the work product doctrine or other applicable privilege, the Parties shall take all reasonable measures (and, to the extent applicable, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the Consent from any Third Party required to make such disclosure without violating a Contract with a Third Party) to permit compliance with such information request in a manner that avoids any such harm, violation or consequence. Each of Dover and Apergy shall inform their respective officers, employees, agents, consultants, advisors, authorized accountants, counsel and other designated representatives who have or have access to the other Party’s Confidential Information or other Information provided pursuant to Section 5.3 or this Article VII of their obligation to hold such Information confidential in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and to use such Information only as required to perform services to any member of the Dover Group or the Apergy Group, as applicable.

Section 7.4 Witness Services. At all times from and after the Effective Time, each of Dover and Apergy shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to make available to the other, upon reasonable written request, its and its Subsidiaries’ officers, directors, employees and agents (taking into account the business demands of such individuals) as witnesses to the extent that (i) such Persons may reasonably be required to testify in connection with the prosecution or defense of any Action in which the requesting Party may from time to time be involved (except for claims, demands or Actions in which one or more members of one Group is adverse to one or more members of the other Group) and (ii) there is no conflict in the Action between the requesting Party and the other Party. A Party providing a witness to the other Party under this Section 7.4 shall be entitled to receive from the recipient of such witness services, upon the presentation of invoices therefor, payments for such amounts, relating to supplies, disbursements and other out-of-pocket expenses (which shall not include the costs of salaries and benefits of employees who are witnesses or any pro rata portion of overhead or other costs of employing such employees which would have been incurred by such employees’ employer regardless of the employees’ service as witnesses), as may be reasonably incurred and properly paid under applicable Law.

Section 7.5 Confidentiality.

(a) Notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, from and after the Effective Time until the date that is five years after the date of termination of the Agreement, the Parties shall hold, and shall cause each of their respective Subsidiaries to hold, and shall each cause their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, consultants, advisors, accountants, attorneys, or other representatives to hold, in strict confidence, and not to disclose or release or,

except as otherwise permitted by this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, use, including for any ongoing or future commercial purpose, without the prior written consent of the Party to whom the Confidential Information relates (which consent may be withheld in such Party’s sole and absolute discretion, except where disclosure is required by applicable Law), any and all Confidential Information concerning the other Party (and the members of its respective Group and Business); provided that the Parties may disclose, or may permit disclosure of, Confidential Information (i) to their respective auditors, attorneys, financial advisors, bankers and other appropriate consultants and advisors who have a need to know such information for auditing and other non-commercial purposes and are informed of their obligation to hold such information confidential to the same extent as is applicable to the Parties and in respect of whose failure to comply with such obligations, the applicable Party will be responsible, (ii) if the Parties or any of their respective Subsidiaries are required or compelled to disclose any such Confidential Information by judicial or administrative process or by other requirements of Law or stock exchange rule or (iii) as necessary in order to permit a Party to prepare and disclose its financial statements in connection with any regulatory filings or Tax Returns; provided further, that each Party (and members of its Group as necessary) may use, or may permit use of, Confidential Information of the other Party in connection with such first Party performing its obligations, or exercising its rights, under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any demand or request for disclosure of Confidential Information is made pursuant to clause (ii) above, each Party, as applicable, shall promptly notify (to the extent permitted by applicable Law) the other of the existence of such request or demand and shall provide the other a reasonable opportunity to seek an appropriate protective order or other remedy, which such Parties will cooperate in obtaining to the extent reasonably practicable. In the event that such appropriate protective order or other remedy is not obtained, the Party that faces the disclosure requirement shall furnish, or cause to be furnished, only that portion of the Confidential Information that is legally required to be disclosed and shall take commercially reasonable steps to ensure that confidential treatment is accorded such Confidential Information.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, (i) the Parties shall be deemed to have satisfied their obligations hereunder with respect to Confidential Information if they exercise at least the same degree of care that applies to Dover’s confidential and proprietary information pursuant to policies in effect as of the Effective Time and (ii) confidentiality obligations provided for in any Contract between each Party or its Subsidiaries and their respective employees shall remain in full force and effect. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, Confidential Information of any Party in the possession of and used by any other Party as of the Effective Time may continue to be used by such Party in possession of the Confidential Information in and only in the operation of the Apergy Business (in the case of the Apergy Group) or the Dover Business (in the case of the Dover Group); provided that such Confidential Information may be used only so long as the Confidential Information is maintained in confidence and not disclosed in violation of Section 7.5(a).

(c) Each Party acknowledges that it and the other members of its Group may have in their possession confidential or proprietary information of Third Parties (i) that was received under confidentiality or non-disclosure agreements with such Third Parties prior to the Effective Time or (ii) that, as between the two Parties, was originally collected by the other Party (or another member of its Group) and that may be subject to and protected by privacy, data protection or other applicable Laws. Such Party will hold, and will cause the other members of

its Group and their respective representatives to hold, in strict confidence the confidential and proprietary information of, or personal information relating to, Third Parties to which they or any other member of their respective Groups has access, in accordance with privacy, data protection and other applicable Laws and the terms of any Contracts entered into prior to the Effective Time between one or more members of such Party’s Group (whether acting through, on behalf of, or in connection with, the separated Businesses) and such Third Parties.

(d) Upon the written request of a Party, the other Party shall take commercially reasonable actions to promptly (i) deliver to such requesting Party all original Confidential Information (whether written or electronic) concerning such requesting Party and/or its Subsidiaries and (ii) if specifically requested by such requesting Party, destroy any copies of such Confidential Information (including any extracts therefrom); provided that such first Party may retain one copy of such Information to the extent required by applicable Law or professional standards, and shall not be required to destroy any such Information located in back-up, archival electronic storage. Upon the written request of such requesting Party, the other Party shall cause one of its duly authorized officers to certify in writing to such requesting Party that the requirements of the preceding sentence have been satisfied in full.

Section 7.6 Privileged Matters.

(a) Pre-Separation Services. The Parties recognize that legal and other professional services that have been and will be provided prior to the Effective Time have been and will be rendered for the collective benefit of each of the members of the Dover Group and the Apergy Group, and that each of the members of the Dover Group and the Apergy Group should be deemed to be the client with respect to such pre-separation services for the purposes of asserting all privileges which may be asserted under applicable Law. The Parties shall have a shared privilege with respect to all Privileged Information which relates to such pre-separation services. For the avoidance of doubt, Privileged Information within the scope of this Section 7.6 includes, but is not limited to, services rendered by legal counsel retained or employed by any Party (or any member of such Party’s respective Group), including outside counsel and in-house counsel; provided, however, that any such privileged communications or attorney-work product, whether arising prior to, or after the Effective Time, with respect to any matter for which a Party has an indemnification obligation hereunder, shall be subject to the sole control of such Party, which shall be solely entitled to control the assertion or waiver of the privilege or protection, whether or not such communications or work product is in the possession of or under the control of such Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties acknowledge and agree that Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP and in-house counsel of Dover represent only Dover and not Apergy in connection with the proposed transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement and that (x) any advice given by or communications with Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP shall not be subject to any joint privilege and shall be owned solely by Dover; and (y) any advice given by or communications with in-house counsel of Dover (in each case to the extent it relates to any proposed transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement) shall not be subject to any joint privilege and shall be owned solely by Dover.

(b) Post-Separation Services. The Parties recognize that legal and other professional services will be provided following the Effective Time to each of Dover and Apergy. The Parties further recognize that certain of such post-separation services will be rendered solely for the benefit of Dover or Apergy or their successors or assigns, as the case may be. With respect to such post-separation services, the Parties agree as follows:

(i) Dover shall be entitled, in perpetuity, to control the assertion or waiver of all privileges in connection with Privileged Information which relates solely to the Dover Business, whether or not the Privileged Information is in the possession of or under the control of Dover or Apergy. Dover shall also be entitled, in perpetuity, to control the assertion or waiver of all privileges in connection with Privileged Information that relates solely to the subject matter of any claims constituting Dover Liabilities, now pending or which may be asserted in the future, in any Actions initiated against or by Dover, whether or not the Privileged Information is in the possession of or under the control of Dover or Apergy or their successors or assigns; and

(ii) Apergy shall be entitled, in perpetuity, to control the assertion or waiver of all privileges in connection with Privileged Information which relates solely to the Apergy Business, whether or not the Privileged Information is in the possession of or under the control of Dover or Apergy or their successors or assigns. Apergy shall also be entitled, in perpetuity, to control the assertion or waiver of all privileges in connection with Privileged Information that relates solely to the subject matter of any claims constituting Apergy Liabilities, now pending or which may be asserted in the future, in any Actions initiated against or by Apergy, whether or not the Privileged Information is in the possession of or under the control of Dover or Apergy or their successors or assigns.

(c) The Parties agree that they shall have a shared privilege, with equal right to assert or waive, subject to the restrictions in this Section 7.6, with respect to all privileges not allocated pursuant to the terms of Section 7.6(b). All privileges relating to any Actions, or other matters which involve both Dover and Apergy in respect of which both Parties retain any responsibility or Liability under this Agreement, shall be subject to a shared privilege among them.

(d) No Party may (or cause or permit any member of its Group to) waive, or allege or purport to waive, any privilege which could be asserted under any applicable Law, and in which any other Party has a shared privilege, without the consent of the other Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed or as provided in subsections (e), (f) or (g) below. Consent shall be in writing, or shall be deemed to be granted unless written objection is made within 20 days after notice upon the other Party requesting such consent.

(e) In the event of any litigation, arbitration or dispute between or among any of the Parties, or any members of their respective Groups, either such Party may waive a privilege in which the other Party or member of such Group has a shared privilege, without obtaining the consent of the other Party; provided that such waiver of a shared privilege shall be effective only as to the use of information with respect to the litigation, arbitration or dispute between the relevant Parties and/or the applicable members of their respective Groups, and shall not operate as a waiver of the shared privilege with respect to Third Parties.

(f) If a dispute arises between or among the Parties or their respective Subsidiaries regarding whether a privilege should be waived to protect or advance the interest of any Party (or members of its Group) with respect to which the Parties have a shared privilege, each Party agrees that it shall negotiate and shall endeavor to minimize any prejudice to the rights of the other Party’s Group and shall not unreasonably withhold consent to any request for waiver by another Party. Each Party specifically agrees that it will not withhold consent to waiver for any purpose except to protect the legitimate interests of its Group.

(g) If, within 15 days of receipt by the requesting Party of written objection, the Parties have not succeeded in negotiating a resolution to any dispute regarding whether a privilege should be waived, and the requesting Party determines that a privilege should nonetheless be waived to protect or advance its interest, the requesting Party shall provide the objecting Party 15 days written notice prior to effecting such waiver. Each Party specifically agrees that failure within 15 days of receipt of such notice to commence proceedings in accordance with Section 8.2 to enjoin such disclosure under applicable Law shall be deemed full and effective consent to such disclosure, and the Parties agree that any such privilege shall not be waived by either Party until the final determination of any proceedings regarding such dispute in accordance with Section 8.2.

(h) Upon receipt by any Party or by any Subsidiary thereof of any subpoena, discovery or other request which arguably calls for the production or disclosure of information subject to a shared privilege or as to which another Party has the sole right hereunder to assert a privilege, or if any Party obtains knowledge that any of its or any of its Subsidiaries’ current or former directors, officers, agents or employees have received any subpoena or discovery or other requests which arguably call for the production or disclosure of such Privileged Information, such Party shall promptly notify the other Party of the existence of the request and shall provide the other Party a reasonable opportunity to review the information and to assert any rights it may have under this Section 7.6 or otherwise to prevent the production or disclosure of such Privileged Information.

(i) The transfer of all Information pursuant to this Agreement is made in reliance on the agreement of Dover and Apergy as set forth in Section 7.5 and this Section 7.6, to maintain the confidentiality of Privileged Information and to assert and maintain all applicable privileges. The access to information being granted pursuant to Section 5.3, Section 7.2 and Section 7.3, the agreement to provide witnesses and individuals pursuant to Section 7.4, the furnishing of notices and documents and other cooperative efforts contemplated by this Section 7.6, Section 6.4 and Section 6.8 and the transfer of Privileged Information between and among the Parties and their respective Subsidiaries pursuant to this Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver of any privilege that has been or may be asserted under this Agreement or otherwise.

Section 7.7 Ownership of Information. Any information owned by one Party or any of its Subsidiaries that is provided to a requesting Party pursuant to this Article VII or Section 5.3 shall be deemed to remain the property of the providing Party. Unless specifically set forth herein, nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as granting or conferring rights of license or otherwise in any such information, whether by implication, estoppel or otherwise.

Section 7.8 Other Agreements. The rights and obligations granted under this Article VII are subject to any specific limitations, qualifications or additional provisions on the sharing, exchange or confidential treatment of information, or privileged matter with respect thereto, set forth in any Ancillary Agreement.

Section 7.9 Compensation for Providing Information. A Party requesting Information pursuant to this Article VII agrees to reimburse the providing Party for the reasonable expenses, if any, of gathering, copying and otherwise complying with the request with respect to such Information (including any reasonable costs and expenses incurred in any review of Information for purposes of protecting any privilege thereunder or any other restrictions on the disclosure of such Information).

ARTICLE VIII

DISPUTE RESOLUTION

Section 8.1 Negotiation.

(a) In the event of a controversy, dispute or claim arising out of, in connection with, or in relation to the interpretation, performance, nonperformance, validity, termination or breach of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement (unless such Ancillary Agreement expressly provides that disputes thereunder will not be subject to the resolution procedures set forth in this Article VIII) or otherwise arising out of, or in any way related to this Agreement or any such Ancillary Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, including any claim based in Contract, tort, Law or constitution (but excluding any controversy, dispute or claim arising out of any Contract with a Third Party if such Third Party is a necessary party to such controversy, dispute or claim) (collectively, “Agreement Disputes”), the general counsel or chief legal officer (as appropriate) of the relevant Parties (or such other officer designated by the relevant Party) shall negotiate for a reasonable period of time to settle such Agreement Dispute; provided that (i) such reasonable period shall not, unless otherwise agreed by the relevant Parties in writing, exceed 60 days from the time of receipt by a Party of written notice of such Agreement Dispute (“Dispute Notice”) and (ii) the relevant employees from both Parties with knowledge and interest in the Agreement Dispute, which shall include tax professionals in the event of an Agreement Dispute involving the Tax Matters Agreement, shall first have tried to resolve the differences between the Parties. Within 30 days of receipt of the Dispute Notice, the receiving Party shall submit to the other Party a written response. The Dispute Notice and the response shall each include a statement of the Party’s position, a general summary of the arguments supporting that position, the name and title of the executive who will represent the party and any other person(s) who will attend settlement meetings.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, in the event of any Agreement Dispute with respect to which a Dispute Notice has been delivered in accordance with this Section 8.1 (i) the relevant Parties shall not assert the defenses of statute of limitations and laches with respect to the period beginning after the date of receipt of the Dispute Notice and (ii) any contractual time period or deadline under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement to which such Agreement Dispute relates occurring after the Dispute Notice is received shall be tolled by the service of a Dispute

Notice. Nothing said or disclosed, nor any document produced, in the course of any negotiations, conferences and discussions in connection with efforts to settle an Agreement Dispute that is not otherwise independently discoverable shall be offered or received as evidence or used for impeachment or for any other purpose in any arbitration or other proceeding, but shall be considered as to have been disclosed for settlement purposes.

Section 8.2 Arbitration. If the Agreement Dispute has not been resolved for any reason after 60 days have elapsed from the receipt by a Party of a Dispute Notice, such Agreement Dispute shall be exclusively and finally determined, at the request of any relevant Party, by arbitration conducted where the Parties agree it would be most convenient, and in the absence of agreement in New York City, before and in accordance with the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) Commercial Arbitration Rules then currently in effect, except as modified herein (the “Rules”).

Section 8.3 Selection of Arbitrators. Unless the Parties mutually agree to the appointment of a sole arbitrator, there shall be three arbitrators appointed pursuant to this Section 8.3. Each Party shall appoint an arbitrator within 20 days of receipt by respondent of a copy of the demand for arbitration. The two party-appointed arbitrators shall have 20 days from the appointment of the second arbitrator to agree on a third arbitrator who shall chair the arbitral tribunal. Any arbitrator not timely appointed by the Parties shall be appointed by the AAA in accordance with the listing and ranking method in the Rules, and in any such procedure, each Party shall be given a limited number of strikes, excluding strikes for cause. If any appointed arbitrator declines, resigns, becomes incapacitated, or otherwise refuses or fails to serve or to continue to serve as an arbitrator, the Party or arbitrators entitled to appoint such arbitrator shall promptly appoint a successor. In the event that an arbitrator is objected to, the AAA shall decide whether such objection is valid and whether the challenged arbitrator shall be removed. Any controversy concerning the jurisdiction of the arbitrators, whether an Agreement Dispute is arbitrable, whether arbitration has been waived, whether an assignee of this Agreement is bound to arbitrate, or as to the interpretation of enforceability of this Article VIII shall be determined by the arbitrators. In the case of any Agreement Dispute related to the Tax Matters Agreement, if mutually agreed to by the Parties, each arbitrator shall be required to be a tax counsel or other tax advisor at a nationally recognized law or accounting firm (with no required affiliation with the AAA).

Section 8.4 Arbitration Procedures. Any hearing to be conducted shall be held no later than 180 days following appointment of the arbitrators or a soon thereafter as practicable.

Section 8.5 Discovery. The arbitrators, consistent with the expedited nature of arbitration, shall permit limited discovery only of documents directly related to the issues in dispute. There shall be no more than three depositions per party of no more than eight hours each. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Party will, upon the written request of the other Party, promptly provide the other with copies of documents on which the producing Party may rely in support of a claim or defense or which are relevant to the issues raised in the Agreement Dispute. All discovery, if any, shall be completed within 90 days following the appointment of the arbitrators or as soon thereafter as practicable. Adherence to formal rules of evidence shall not be required and the arbitrators shall consider any evidence and testimony that the arbitrators determine to be relevant, in accordance with the Rules and procedures that the arbitrators

determine to be appropriate. In resolving any Agreement Dispute, the Parties intend that the arbitrators shall apply the substantive Laws of the State of New York, without regard to any choice of law principles thereof that would mandate the application of the Laws of another jurisdiction. The Parties intend that the provisions to arbitrate set forth herein be valid, enforceable and irrevocable, and any award rendered by the arbitrators shall be final and binding on the Parties. The Parties agree to comply and cause the members of their applicable Group to comply with any award made in any such arbitration proceedings and agree to enforcement of or entry of judgment upon such award, in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Section 8.6 Confidentiality of Proceedings. Without limiting the provisions of the Rules, unless otherwise agreed in writing by or among the relevant Parties or permitted by this Agreement or as may be required by law or any regulatory authority, the relevant Parties shall keep, and shall cause the members of their applicable Group to keep, confidential all matters relating to the arbitration or the award. The arbitral award shall be confidential; provided that such award may be disclosed (i) to the extent reasonably necessary in any proceeding brought to enforce this agreement to arbitrate or any arbitral award or for entry of a judgment upon the award and (ii) to the extent otherwise required by Law or regulatory authority.

Section 8.7 Pre-Hearing Procedure and Disposition. Nothing contained herein is intended to or shall be construed to prevent any Party, from applying to any court of competent jurisdiction for interim measures or other provisional relief in connection with the subject matter of any Agreement Disputes, including to compel a party to arbitrate any Agreement Dispute, to prevent irreparable harm prior to the appointment of the arbitral tribunal or to require witnesses to obey subpoenas issued by the arbitrators. Without prejudice to such provisional remedies as may be available under the jurisdiction of a court, the arbitral tribunal shall have full authority to grant provisional remedies and to direct the Parties to request that any court modify or vacate any temporary or preliminary relief issued by such court, and to award damages for the failure of any party to respect the arbitral tribunal’s orders to that effect. The Parties agree to accept and honor any orders relating to interim or provisional remedies that are issued by the arbitrators and agree that any such interim order or remedy may be enforced, as necessary, in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Section 8.8 Continuity of Service and Performance. During the course of dispute resolution pursuant to the provisions of this Article VIII, the Parties will continue to provide all other services and honor all other commitments under this Agreement and each Ancillary Agreement with respect to all matters not subject to such dispute resolution.

Section 8.9 Awards. The arbitrators shall make an award and issue a reasoned opinion in writing setting forth the basis for such award within 30 days following the close of the hearing on the merits, or a soon thereafter as practicable. The arbitrators shall be entitled, if appropriate, to award any remedy in such proceedings that is permitted under this Agreement and applicable Law, including monetary damages, specific performance and other forms of legal and equitable relief. The Parties hereby waive any claim to exemplary, punitive, multiple, consequential, special, indirect damages or similar damages in excess of compensatory damages, attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses of arbitration, except as may be expressly required by statute or as necessary to indemnify a Party for a Third Party Claim and the arbitrators are not empowered to and shall not award such damages. Any final award must provide that the party against whom an award is issued shall comply with the order within a specified period of time, not to exceed 30 days.

Section 8.10 Costs. If any Party attempts, unsuccessfully, to prevent an Agreement Dispute from being arbitrated such Party shall reimburse the prevailing party for all costs incurred in compelling arbitration. Except as otherwise may be provided in any Ancillary Agreement, the costs of arbitration pursuant to this Article VIII shall be borne by the non- prevailing Party as determined by the arbitrator.

Section 8.11 Adherence to Time Limits. In accepting appointment, each of the arbitrators shall commit that his or her schedule permits him or her to devote the reasonably necessary time and attention to the arbitration proceedings and to resolving the Agreement Dispute within the time periods set by this Agreement and by the Rules. Any time limits set out in this Article VIII or in the Rules may be modified upon written agreement of the Parties and the arbitrators or by order of the arbitrators for good cause shown. Any failure of the arbitrators to comply with such time limits or to render a final award within the time specified shall not impair the validity of the award or cause the award to be void or voidable, nor shall it be a basis for challenge of the validity or enforceability of the award or of the arbitration proceedings.

ARTICLE IX

INSURANCE

Section 9.1 General Liability Policies to be Maintained by Apergy. Apergy agrees and covenants (on its own behalf and on behalf of each other member of the Apergy Group) that it will procure and maintain at its sole cost and expense, for a period of no less than five years from the Effective Time, annual occurrence-based primary and excess general liability insurance policies issued by insurers with an A.M. Best Company credit rating of “a” or better and naming Dover as an additional insured (together, the “Apergy General Liability Policies”). Such primary policies shall provide no less than $2,000,000 in per occurrence and $4,000,000 in aggregate annual limits and shall be subject to an aggregate retention of no more than $4,000,000. Such excess policies shall attach immediately above such primary policies and shall provide no less than $100,000,000 in annual limits. The Apergy General Liability Policies shall otherwise provide coverage with terms and conditions at least as favorable as Dover’s primary and excess general liability policies in place as of the Effective Time, subject to availability on commercially reasonable terms.

Section 9.2 Policies and Allocation of Related Rights and Obligations. Apergy acknowledges and agrees (on its own behalf and on behalf of each other member of the Apergy Group) that (i) neither Apergy nor any other member of the Apergy Group has any rights to or under any Third Party Shared Policy, except as expressly provided in this Article IX and (ii) nothing in this Article IX shall be deemed to constitute (or to reflect) an assignment of any rights to or under any Third Party Shared Policy.

Section 9.3 Third Party Shared Policies.

(a) With respect to Third Party Shared Policies for claims that arise out of insured events with an occurrence date prior to the Effective Time, to the extent reasonably possible, Dover will, or will cause the applicable insurance companies or members of the Dover Group that are insured thereunder to (i) continue to provide Apergy and any other member of the Apergy Group with access to and coverage under the applicable Third Party Shared Policies, and (ii) reasonably cooperate with Apergy and take commercially reasonable actions as may be necessary or advisable to assist Apergy in submitting such claims under the applicable Third Party Shared Policies; provided that Apergy shall be responsible for any and all applicable deductibles, self-insured retentions, retrospective premiums, claims-handling charges, co-payments or any other charge or fee legally due and owing relating to such claims and neither Dover nor the insurance company or member of the Dover Group shall be required to maintain such Third Party Shared Policies beyond their current terms. For the avoidance of doubt, if an occurrence date is after the Effective Time, then no payment for any damages, costs of defense, or other sums with respect to such claim shall be available to Apergy under such Third Party Shared Policies. For the avoidance of doubt, any deductible amounts owed with respect to insurable claims under Dover’s Third Party Policies that arise out of insured events that occurred prior to the Effective Time (regardless of whether such claims arise prior to, as of or following the Effective Time) shall constitute Dover Liabilities up to an aggregate amount for all such claims as set forth on Schedule 1.1(50)(i)(a).

(b) With respect to all Third Party Shared Policies, Apergy agrees and covenants (on behalf of itself and each other member of the Apergy Group, and each other Affiliate of Apergy) not to make any claim or assert any rights against Dover and any other member of the Dover Group, or the unaffiliated Third Party insurers of such Third Party Shared Policies, except as expressly provided under this Section 9.3.

Section 9.4 Administration of Third Party Shared Policies; Other Matters.

(a) Administration. With respect to all Third Party Shared Policies, from and after the Effective Time, Dover or a member of the Dover Group shall be responsible for the Insurance Administration and Claims Administration of such Third Party Shared Policies; provided that the retention of such administrative responsibilities by Dover or a member of the Dover Group is in no way intended to limit, inhibit or preclude any right to insurance coverage for any Insured Claim of a named insured under such Third Party Shared Policies as contemplated by the terms of this Agreement; provided further, that the retention of such administrative responsibilities by Dover or a member of the Dover Group shall not relieve the Person submitting any Insured Claim of the primary responsibility for reporting such Insured Claim accurately, completely and in a timely manner, or of such Person’s authority to settle any such Insured Claim within any period permitted or required by the relevant Third Party Shared Policy. At its discretion, and in accordance with the terms of the Third Party Shared Policies, Dover may discharge its administrative responsibilities with respect to such Third Party Shared Policies by contracting for the provision of administrative services to any unaffiliated Person, including, after the Effective Time, Apergy or any of its Affiliates. Dover will use its commercially reasonable efforts to notify the appropriate member of the Apergy Group of such discharge. Apergy shall reimburse Dover for any costs incurred by Dover related to Insurance Administration and Claims Administration to the extent such costs (which include defense, out-of-pocket expenses, and direct and indirect costs of employees or agents of Dover providing the

administrative services) are (i) not covered under the Third Party Shared Policies and (ii) related to Apergy Liabilities. Dover or any member of the Dover Group shall not settle any Insured Claim of Apergy or any member of Apergy Group under the Third Party Shared Policies without first consulting reasonably in good faith with Apergy or such member of Apergy Group.

(b) Exceeding Policy Limits. Where Apergy Liabilities are specifically covered under a Third Party Shared Policy for periods prior to the Effective Time, or where such Third Party Shared Policy covers claims made after the Effective Time with respect to an occurrence prior to the Effective Time, then from and after the Effective Time, Apergy may claim coverage for Insured Claims under such Third Party Shared Policy as and to the extent that such insurance is available up to the full extent of the applicable limits of liability of such Third Party Shared Policy (and may receive any Insurance Proceeds with respect thereto as contemplated by Section 9.4(d)), subject to the terms of this Section 9.4.

(c) Claims Not Reimbursed. Except as set forth in this Section 9.4, Dover and Apergy shall not be liable to one another (nor shall any member of the Dover Group be liable to any member of the Apergy Group) for claims, or portions of claims, not reimbursed by insurers under any Third Party Shared Policy for any reason not within the control of Dover or Apergy, including coinsurance provisions, deductibles, quota share deductibles, self-insured retentions, bankruptcy or insolvency of any insurance carrier(s), Third Party Shared Policy limitations or restrictions, any coverage disputes, any failure to timely file a claim by Dover or Apergy (or any of the members of their respective Groups), or any defect in such claim or its processing. The liability of Dover and Apergy to one another for such claims is expressly limited to the amount of Insurance Proceeds received with respect to such claims and allocated to the respective Parties in accordance with Section 9.4(d). It is expressly understood that the foregoing provisions in this Section 9.4(c) shall not limit any Party’s liability to any other Party for indemnification pursuant to Article VI.

(d) Allocation of Insurance Proceeds. Insurance Proceeds received with respect to claims, costs and expenses under the Third Party Shared Policies shall be paid to or on behalf of Dover under the relevant Third Party Shared Policy, and Dover shall thereafter administer the Third Party Shared Policies, as appropriate, by retaining the Insurance Proceeds with respect to Dover Liabilities, and by paying the Insurance Proceeds to Apergy with respect to Apergy Liabilities. In the event that the aggregate limits on any Third Party Shared Policies are exceeded by the aggregate of outstanding Insured Claims by the Parties or members of their respective Groups, the Parties agree to allocate the Insurance Proceeds received thereunder based upon their respective percentage of the total of their bona fide claims which were covered under such Third Party Shared Policy, and any Party who has received Insurance Proceeds in excess of such Party’s respective percentage of Insurance Proceeds shall pay to the other Party the appropriate amount so that each Party will have received its respective percentage of Insurance Proceeds pursuant hereto. Each of the Parties agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to maximize available coverage under those Third Party Shared Policies applicable to it, and to take all commercially reasonable steps to recover from all other responsible parties in respect of an Insured Claim to the extent coverage limits under a Third Party Shared Policy have been exceeded or would be exceeded as a result of such Insured Claim, provided that any allocation of Insurance Proceeds shall be made net of any recovery, whenever obtained, from such other responsible parties.

(e) Allocation of Deductibles. In the event that the Parties or members of their respective Groups have bona fide claims under any Third Party Shared Policy arising from the same occurrence and for which a deductible is payable, the Parties agree that the aggregate amount of the deductible paid shall be borne by the Parties in the same proportion which the Insurance Proceeds received by each such Party bears to the total Insurance Proceeds received under the applicable Third Party Shared Policy pursuant to Section 9.4(d), and any Party who has paid more than such allocable share of the deductible shall be entitled to receive from the other Party an appropriate amount so that each Party has borne its allocable share of the deductible pursuant hereto.

Section 9.5 Agreement for Waiver of Conflict and Shared Defense. In the event that Insured Claims of more than one of the Parties exist relating to the same occurrence or related occurrences, the Parties shall jointly defend and waive any conflict of interest necessary to the conduct of the joint defense. Nothing in this Article IX shall be construed to limit or otherwise alter in any way the obligations of the Parties, including those created by this Agreement, by operation of Law or otherwise.

Section 9.6 Cooperation. The Parties agree to use (and cause the members in their respective Groups to use) their commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with respect to the various insurance matters contemplated by this Article IX.

Section 9.7 Miscellaneous. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to restrict Apergy or Dover, or any members of their respective Groups, from acquiring at its own expense any insurance Policy in respect of any Liabilities or covering any period. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, from and after the Effective Time, Apergy and Dover shall be responsible for obtaining and maintaining their respective insurance programs for their risk of loss and such insurance arrangements shall be separate programs apart from each other and each will be responsible for its own deductibles and retentions for such insurance programs. Notwithstanding Section 9.1, Apergy acknowledges and agrees (on its own behalf and on behalf of each other member of the Apergy Group) that Dover has provided to Apergy prior to the Effective Time all information necessary for Apergy or the appropriate member of the Apergy Group to obtain such insurance policies and insurance programs as Apergy or the appropriate member of the Apergy Group, in its sole judgment and discretion, deems necessary to cover any and all risk of loss related to the Apergy Business.

It is the intention of the Parties that the Transfer Documents shall be consistent with the terms of this Agreement and the other Ancillary Agreements. The Parties agree that the Transfer Documents are not intended and shall not be considered in any way to enhance, modify or decrease any of the rights or obligations of Dover, Apergy or any member of their respective Groups from those contained in this Agreement and the other Ancillary Agreements.

Section 10.2 Ancillary Agreements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, except with respect to the matters disclosed on Schedule 1.1(22)(i) hereof, this Agreement is not intended to address, and should not be interpreted to address, the matters specifically and expressly covered by the Ancillary Agreements (excluding the Transfer Documents and the Reorganization Documents).

Section 10.3 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in more than one counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement, and, except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 1.3, shall become effective when one or more such counterparts have been signed by each of the Parties and delivered to the other Parties.

The Parties agree not to directly or indirectly take any actions, act in concert with any Person who takes an action, or cause or allow any member of any such Party’s Group to take any actions (including the failure to take a reasonable action) intended to, or such that the resulting effect is to, materially undermine the effectiveness of any of the provisions of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement (including adversely affecting the rights or ability of any Party to successfully pursue indemnification, contribution or payment pursuant to Article VI).

Section 10.13 Subsidiaries.

Each of the Parties further agrees that service of any process, summons, notice or document by United States registered mail to such Party’s respective address set forth in Section 10.6 shall be effective service of process for any Action in the New York Courts with respect to any matters to which it has submitted to jurisdiction in this Section 10.19. Each of the Parties irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection to the laying of venue of any Action arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in the New York Courts, and hereby further irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such Action brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

SUBJECT TO ARTICLE VIII AND SECTIONS 10.19 AND 10.20 HEREIN, EACH OF THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY COURT PROCEEDING PERMITTED HEREUNDER. EACH OF THE PARTIES HEREBY (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF THE OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT, AS APPLICABLE, BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 10.21.

Section 10.22 Severability. In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby, and the Parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid, legal and enforceable provisions, the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

Section 10.23 Construction. The Parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. This Agreement shall be construed without regard to any presumption or rule requiring construction or interpretation against the party drafting or causing any instrument to be drafted.

Section 10.24 Authorization. Each of the Parties hereby represents and warrants that it has the power and authority to execute, deliver and perform this Agreement, that this Agreement has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of such Party, that this Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of each such Party enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar Laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and general equity principles.

Apergy (acting directly or through another member of the Apergy Group) shall be responsible for any and all Liabilities (including Liability for funding) and other obligations with respect to the Apergy Pension Plan.

(i) Assumption of Dover U.S. Pension Plan Liabilities. Effective as of the Effective Time, Apergy (acting directly or through another member of the Apergy Group) agrees to cause the Apergy Pension Plan to assume, fully perform, pay, and discharge all Liabilities and obligations under the Dover U.S. Pension Plan relating to all benefits accrued under the Dover U.S. Pension Plan by Norris USW Participants solely as a result of participating in such plan pursuant to a collective bargaining agreement with the United Steelworkers of America covering employees of Dover’s Norris Division as of the Effective Time.

(ii) Transfer of the Dover U.S. Pension Plan Assets.

(A) The Parties intend that the portion of the Dover U.S. Pension Plan covering Norris USW Participants which represents benefits accrued under the Dover U.S. Pension Plan solely as a result of such Norris USW Participants’ participation in such plan pursuant to a collective bargaining agreement with the United Steelworkers of America covering employees of Dover’s Norris Division shall be transferred to the Apergy Pension Plan in accordance with Section 414(l) of the Code, Treasury Regulation Section 1.414(l)-1, and Section 208 of ERISA. It is intended that the transfers of Assets and Liabilities relating to the Norris USW Participants shall satisfy the de minimis rule of Treasury Regulations Section 414(l)-1(n)(2) and shall be deemed to comply with Section 414(l) of the Code so that no IRS Form 5310-A shall be filed with respect to such transfers.

(B) Prior to the Effective Time (or such later time as mutually agreed by the Parties), Dover shall cause the Dover U.S. Pension Plan actuary to determine the estimated value, as of the Effective Time, of the Assets from the trust of the Dover U.S. Pension Plan to be transferred to the trust of the Apergy Pension Plan (the “Estimated Pension Plan Transfer Amount”).

(C) As of the Effective Time (or such later time as mutually agreed by the Parties), Dover and Apergy shall cooperate in good faith to cause an initial transfer of Assets from the trust of the Dover U.S. Pension Plan to the trust of the Apergy Pension Plan in an amount to be approximately ninety percent (90%) of the Estimated Pension Plan Transfer Amount (such amount, the “Initial Transfer Amount”). Assets may be transferred in cash, cash equivalents, securities, Assets in kind or in a combination thereof, as determined by Dover in its sole discretion.

(D) Within ninety (90) days (or such later time as mutually agreed by the Parties) following the Effective Time, Dover shall cause the Dover U.S. Pension Plan actuary to provide Apergy with a revised calculation of the value, as of the Effective Time, of the Assets from the trust of the Dover U.S. Pension Plan to be transferred to the trust of the Apergy Pension Plan. This revised value, as of the Effective Time, of the Assets from the trust of the Dover U.S. Pension Plan to be transferred to the trust of the Apergy Pension Plan as determined in accordance with this Section 3.2(c)(ii)(D) shall be referred to herein as the “Final Pension Plan Transfer Amount.”

(E) Within ten (10) days (or such later time as mutually agreed by the Parties) following the determination of the Final Pension Plan Transfer Amount, Dover shall cause the trust of the Dover U.S. Pension Plan to transfer to the trust of the Apergy Pension Plan (the date of such transfer, the “Final Transfer Date”) the amount, in cash, cash equivalents, securities, other Assets in kind or in a combination thereof, as determined by Dover in its sole discretion, equal to (i) the Final Pension Plan Transfer Amount minus (ii) the Initial Transfer Amount (such difference, as adjusted to reflect fees or charges paid or incurred and earnings or losses as determined based on the actual rate of return of the trust of the Dover U.S. Pension Plan for the period commencing as of the Effective Time and ending on a commercially reasonable date in advance of the Final Transfer Date, the “True-Up Amount”); provided, that in the event the True-Up Amount is negative, Dover shall not be required to cause any such additional transfer and instead Apergy shall be required to cause a transfer of cash, cash equivalents, or securities (or, in its discretion, if acceptable to Dover, Assets in kind) from the trust of the Apergy Pension Plan to the trust of the Dover U.S. Pension Plan, as required, in an amount equal to the absolute value of the True-Up Amount. The Parties acknowledge that the transfer of the True-Up Amount from the trust of the Dover U.S. Pension Plan to the trust of the Apergy Pension Plan, if applicable, shall be in full settlement and satisfaction of the obligations of Dover to cause the transfer of, and the trust of the Dover U.S. Pension Plan to transfer, Assets to the trust of the Apergy Pension Plan pursuant to this Section 3.2(c)(ii)(E). In the event that Apergy is obligated to cause the trust of the Apergy Pension Plan to reimburse the trust of the Dover U.S. Pension Plan pursuant to this Section 3.2(c)(ii)(E), such reimbursement shall be performed in accordance with the same principles set forth herein with respect to the payment of the True-Up Amount from the trust of the Apergy Pension Plan to the trust of the Dover U.S. Pension Plan. The Parties acknowledge that the transfer of such reimbursement amount from the trust of the Apergy Pension Plan to the trust of the Dover U.S. Pension Plan, if applicable, shall be in full settlement and satisfaction of the obligations of Apergy to cause the transfer of, and the trust of the Apergy Pension Plan to transfer, Assets to the trust of the Dover U.S. Pension Plan pursuant to this Section 3.2(c)(ii)(E).

3.3 Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plans.

(a) Dover Deferred Compensation Plan. No Apergy Participant shall defer any compensation under the Dover Deferred Compensation Plan attributable to services performed on or following the Plan Separation Date. For the avoidance of doubt, the account balance of each Apergy Participant under the Dover Deferred Compensation Plan shall continue to change based on such Apergy Participant’s individual investment elections. Effective as of the Effective Time, a member of the Apergy Group shall assume all Dover Deferred Compensation Plan Liabilities determined as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, with respect to each Apergy Participant who is an Apergy Employee as of the Effective Time.

(b) Dover Pension Replacement Plan. No later than the Effective Time, Dover shall amend the Dover Pension Replacement Plan to (i) freeze benefit accruals under the Dover Pension Replacement Plan effective as of immediately prior to the Effective Time with respect to Apergy Participants who are actively accruing a benefit under the Dover Pension Replacement Plan immediately prior to the Effective Time, (ii) convert the benefit determined under clause (i) to an account balance effective as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, and (iii) reduce the amount determined under clause (ii) by any Taxes the Apergy Participant would be required to pay as a result of the conversion described in clause (ii) as permitted under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(j)(4)(vii). Effective as of the Effective Time, a member of the Apergy Group shall assume all Dover Pension Replacement Plan Liabilities determined pursuant to the preceding sentence with respect to each Apergy Participant who is an Apergy Employee as of the Effective Time.

(c) Establishment of Apergy Deferred Compensation Plan. Prior to the Effective Time, a member of the Apergy Group shall have adopted, or caused to have been adopted, a non-qualified deferred compensation benefit plan, which will serve as the plan document for the Dover Pension Replacement Plan Liabilities and Dover Deferred Compensation Plan Liabilities assumed by a member of the Apergy Group in accordance with Sections 3.3(a) and 3.3(b).

(d) Harbison-Fischer Manufacturing Company Restoration of Income Plan and Harbison-Fischer Manufacturing Company Deferred Compensation Agreement. As of and following the Effective Time, Apergy (or another applicable member of the Apergy Group) shall retain all Liabilities and the administration of the Harbison-Fischer Manufacturing Company Restoration of Income Plan and the Harbison-Fischer Manufacturing Company Deferred Compensation Agreement.

ARTICLE IV

HEALTH AND WELFARE PLANS

4.1 Cessation of Participation in Dover Health and Welfare Plans. Effective as of the Plan Separation Date, Apergy established Apergy Health and Welfare Plans which generally correspond to the Dover Health and Welfare Plans which provide group health, life, dental, accidental death and dismemberment, health care reimbursements, dependent care assistance and disability benefits in which certain Apergy Participants participated immediately prior to the Plan

Separation Date. Effective as of immediately prior to the Plan Separation Date, such Apergy Participants ceased to participate in the Dover Health and Welfare Plans in which they participated and effective as of the Plan Separation Date commenced participation in the corresponding Apergy Health and Welfare Plans. Apergy caused those Apergy Participants who participated in Dover Health and Welfare Plans immediately prior to the Plan Separation Date to be automatically enrolled as of the Plan Separation Date in the Apergy Health and Welfare Plans corresponding to the Dover Health and Welfare Plans in which such Apergy Participants participated immediately prior to the Plan Separation Date. The transfer of employment from a member of the Dover Group to a member of the Apergy Group prior to or as of the Effective Time shall not be treated as a “status change” with respect to any Apergy Employee under the Dover Health and Welfare Plans or the Apergy Health and Welfare Plans.

4.2 Allocation of Health and Welfare Plan Liabilities.

(a) Health and Welfare Claims. Except as set forth in Section 4.2(b), Dover shall retain and be solely responsible for all outstanding Liabilities relating to, arising out of, or resulting from health and welfare coverage or claims incurred by Apergy Participants under the Dover Health and Welfare Plans prior to the Plan Separation Date.

(b) Short-Term and Long-Term Disability Coverage Liabilities. From and after the Effective Time, Apergy shall, or shall cause another member of the Apergy Group to, accept, assume (or, as applicable, retain) and perform, discharge and fulfill, all Liabilities relating to, arising out of, or resulting from short-term or long-term disability coverage for Apergy Participants under the Dover Health and Welfare Plans, in each case, regardless of (i) when or where such Liabilities arose or arise, (ii) where or against whom such Liabilities are asserted or determined and (iii) whether the facts on which they are based occurred prior to, on or after the date hereof.

4.3 Flexible Spending Plan Treatment in the U.S. Effective as of the Plan Separation Date, Apergy established a dependent care spending account and a medical care spending account under a cafeteria plan meeting the requirements of Section 125 of the Code (collectively, the “Apergy FSAs”), which Apergy FSAs have terms that are substantially identical to the analogous Dover cafeteria plan and dependent care and medical care flexible spending accounts (collectively, the “Dover FSAs”) as were in effect immediately prior to the Plan Separation Date. As of the Plan Separation Date, Dover transferred the account balances (if any) under the Dover FSAs of each Apergy Employee who elected to participate therein to the corresponding Apergy FSAs. The Apergy FSAs assumed responsibility as of the Plan Separation Date for all outstanding dependent care and medical care claims under the Dover FSAs of each Apergy Employee and assumed and agreed to perform the obligations from and after the Plan Separation Date. On and following the Plan Separation Date, the contribution elections (if any) of each Apergy Employee as in effect immediately prior to the Plan Separation Date shall remain in effect under the applicable Apergy FSA. As of the Plan Separation Date, Dover transferred to Apergy an amount equal to the total contributions made to the Dover FSAs by Apergy Employees in respect of the plan year immediately prior to the plan year in which the Plan Separation Date occurs, reduced by an amount equal to the total claims already paid to Apergy Employees in respect of such immediately preceding plan year, if any. From and after the Plan Separation Date, Dover has provided and shall provide Apergy with such information that any member of the Apergy Group may reasonably request to enable it to verify any claims information pertaining to a Dover FSA.

4.4 Workers’ Compensation Liabilities.

(a) Apergy Liabilities. All workers’ compensation Liabilities relating to, arising out of or resulting from any claim by Apergy Employees or Former Apergy Employees that result from an accident or from an occupational disease which is incurred or becomes manifest, as the case may be, as of or prior to the Effective Time and while such individual was employed by either Party or its respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates shall be assumed, or retained as the case may be, by Apergy as of the Effective Time. Each member of the Apergy 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 an Apergy Employee or Former Apergy 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. Effective as of the Effective Time, Apergy, acting through the applicable member of the Apergy Group employing each Apergy Employee, will be responsible for obtaining workers’ compensation insurance, including providing all collateral required by the insurance carriers. To the extent that such insurance coverage cannot be either assigned to or obtained by Apergy or another member of the Apergy Group, in respect of claims and Liabilities otherwise to be assumed by Apergy or another member of the Apergy Group pursuant to Section 2.3(a) and this Section 4.4(a), Dover shall remain primarily liable for such claims and Liabilities, but Apergy shall indemnify and hold harmless Dover for any such claims and Liabilities. If the preceding sentence applies, then at one or more mutually agreed upon dates, Dover will determine, in its sole discretion, the total amount paid with respect to such claims and Liabilities and Apergy shall reimburse Dover for that amount; provided, however, with respect to any such claim or Liability, Apergy shall only be required to reimburse Dover to the extent the total amount paid with respect to such claim or Liability, as determined by Dover, in its sole discretion, taken together with any other amounts owed with respect to claims described in Section 9.3(a) of the Separation Agreement, exceeds the aggregate amount set forth on Schedule 1.1(50)(i)(a) to the Separation Agreement.

(b) Assignment of Contribution Rights. Dover will transfer and assign (or cause a member of the Dover Group to transfer and assign) to a member of the Apergy Group all rights to seek contribution or damages from any applicable third party (such as a third party who aggravates an injury to a worker who makes a workers’ compensation claim) with respect to any workers’ compensation claim for which Apergy is responsible pursuant to Section 2.3(a) and this Article IV. Apergy will transfer and assign (or cause a member of the Apergy Group to transfer and assign) to a member of the Dover Group all rights to seek contribution or damages from any applicable third party (such as a third party who aggravates an injury to a worker who makes a workers’ compensation claim) with respect to any workers’ compensation claim for which Dover is responsible pursuant to Section 2.3(b).

(c) Collateral. As of and after the Effective Time, Apergy (acting directly or through another member of the Apergy Group) shall be responsible for providing all collateral required by insurance carriers in connection with workers’ compensation claims for which Liability is allocated to the Apergy Group under Section 2.3(a) and this Article IV. Dover (acting directly or through another member of the Dover Group) shall be responsible for providing all collateral required by insurance carriers in connection with workers’ compensation claims for which Liability is allocated to the Dover Group under Section 2.3(b).

4.5 Payroll Taxes and Reporting. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, Dover and Apergy shall, to the extent practicable, (i) treat Apergy (or another member of the Apergy Group designated by Apergy) 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 (or analogous terms under applicable Law, including the Employment Insurance and Quebec Parental Insurance Plan and the Canada Pension Plan and Quebec Pension Plan), with respect to Apergy Employees for purposes of Taxes imposed under the U.S. Federal Unemployment Tax Act or the U.S. Federal Insurance Contributions Act or other applicable Laws, 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 Apergy 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 Apergy 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 stock options or the vesting or exercise of other equity awards.

4.6 COBRA Compliance in the U.S.. As of the Plan Separation Date, Apergy assumed responsibility for and has been and is responsible for administering compliance with the health care continuation requirements of COBRA, in accordance with the provisions of the Apergy Health and Welfare Plans, with respect to Apergy Participants who incurred a COBRA qualifying event under the Dover Health and Welfare Plans at any time prior to the Plan Separation Date. Apergy also has been and is responsible for administering compliance with the health care continuation requirements of COBRA and the corresponding provisions of the Apergy Health and Welfare Plans with respect to Apergy Employees and their covered dependents who incur a COBRA qualifying event under the Apergy Health and Welfare Plans at any time on or after the Plan Separation Date.

4.7 Vacation, Holidays, Approved Leaves of Absence, and Paid Time Off. As of or prior to the Effective Time, the applicable member of the Apergy Group shall have credited each Apergy Employee with the unused vacation days, holidays, annual leave, or other approved leave of absence, and personal, and sickness days that such Apergy Employee has accrued immediately prior to the Effective Time (not previously paid or required to be paid) in accordance with the vacation and personnel policies applicable to such Apergy Employee immediately prior to the Effective Time.

For purposes of this Section 2.01(b)(i) and (ii), the amount of Taxes for which Apergy is responsible shall not include any amounts that have previously been taken into account as a reduction of the Apergy Assets transferred pursuant to Section 2.2(a) of the Distribution Agreement.

(c) The amount of Taxes attributable to the Apergy Group or the Dover Group (i.e., the Non-Filing Group) in the Tax Return filed by a member of the other group (i.e., the Filing Group) will be determined by treating the Non-Filing Group as if it filed the relevant Tax Return on a standalone basis in a manner consistent with Past Practices, using the maximum statutory tax rate in effect for the taxable period and utilizing only the tax losses and other Tax Attributes of such Non-Filing Group reflected on the Filing Group’s Tax Return for the taxable period in question which produces a Tax Benefit during such taxable period to the Filing Group. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for purposes of determining the amount of Taxes attributable to the Apergy Group under Section 2.01(b) upon a Determination (other than as a result of the expiration of the statute of limitations) with respect to any Tax Return for which the Apergy Group is the Non-Filing Group, the amount of such Taxes shall be determined pursuant to Section 2.02(b)(v).

(d) The Tax incurred in Straddle Periods shall be separated into a Pre-Distribution Period and a Post-Distribution Period by treating the day including the Effective Time as the termination of the Pre-Distribution Period and the day immediately following the day including the Effective Time as the commencement of the Post-Distribution Period, whether or not allowed under applicable Law, and the Tax attributable to the Non-Filing Group for the Pre-Distribution Period shall be determined by applying the principles of Section 2.01(c).

Section 2.02 Refunds, Tax Benefits, and Other Allocations

(a) Refunds and Carrybacks.

(i) Dover Refunds. Except as provided in Section 2.02(a)(iv) below, Dover shall be entitled to all refunds (including refunds paid by means of a credit against other or future Tax liabilities) with respect to any Tax for which Dover is responsible under Section 2.01.

- 9 -

(ii) Apergy Refunds. Except as provided in Section 2.02(a)(iv) below, Apergy shall be entitled to all refunds (including refunds paid by means of a credit against other or future Tax liabilities) with respect to any Tax for which Apergy is responsible under Section 2.01 other than for a Tax Return for a taxable period for which the Dover Group is the Filing Group.

(iii) Payment of Refunds. Except as provided in Section 2.02(a)(iv), Apergy shall forward to Dover, or reimburse Dover for, any refunds due Dover (pursuant to the terms of this Section 2.02(a)) after receipt thereof (less any Tax Detriment attributable to such refunds), and Dover shall forward to Apergy, or reimburse Apergy for, any refunds due Apergy (pursuant to the terms of this Section 2.02(a)) after receipt thereof (less any Tax Detriment attributable to such refunds). In the case of a refund received in the form of a credit against other or future Tax liabilities, reimbursement with respect to such refund shall be due in each case within thirty (30) days after the due date for payment of the Tax against which such refund has been credited. Any payment required to be made pursuant to this Section 2.02(a)(iii) shall be made within thirty (30) days of the receipt of the refund. If Dover reasonably so requests, Apergy, at Dover’s expense, shall file for and pursue any refund to which Dover is entitled under this Section 2.02(a), provided that the foregoing does not have a material adverse impact on the Apergy Group, as reasonably determined by Apergy. If Apergy reasonably so requests, Dover, at Apergy’ expense, shall file for and pursue any refund to which Apergy is entitled under this Section 2.02(a), provided that the foregoing does not have a material adverse impact on the Dover Group, as reasonably determined by Dover. The Party making a payment pursuant to this Section 2.02(a)(iii) must deliver with the payment a statement describing in reasonable detail the basis for the calculation of the amount being paid.

(iv) Carrybacks.

(1) The Non-Filing Group shall be entitled to any refund of, or credit against, the Filing Group’s Tax for a Pre-Distribution Period resulting from carrying back any item of loss, deduction or credit that arises in any Post-Distribution Period of the Non-Filing Group only to the extent that (A) the Filing Group has no item of loss, deduction, or credit that can be carried back to such taxable period and (B) such carryback does not have a material adverse impact on the Filing Group, as reasonably determined by the Filing Group. If the Filing Group receives any such refund (or benefit of such credit), it shall pay the portion thereof to which Non-Filing Group is entitled within thirty (30) days of the later of (C) a Determination with respect to the Filing Group’s Tax for such Pre-Distribution Period or (D) a Determination with respect to the Non-Filing Group’s Tax for the Post-Distribution Period that gave rise to the refund received by the Filing Group (or to the credit against the Filing Group’s Tax); provided, however, that if the Non-Filing Group Parent provides the Filing Group Parent with a letter of credit in a form reasonably acceptable to the Filing Group Parent and issued by a major money center commercial bank reasonably acceptable to the Filing Group Parent not expiring before the later of clause (C) or (D) of this Section 2.02(a)(iv)(1), then the Filing Group Parent shall pay to the Non-Filing Group Parent that portion of the refund (or credit against Tax) covered by the letter of credit no later than thirty (30) days after receipt of the refund (or, in the case of a credit, the filing of the Tax Return that includes such credit) or of the letter of credit, whichever is later.

- 10 -

(2) If the Non-Filing Group has a loss or other Tax Attribute for any Post-Distribution Period that is to be carried back to any Pre-Distribution Period, the Non-Filing Group Parent shall notify the Filing Group Parent that such item should be carried back. Such notification shall include a description in reasonable detail of the grounds for the refund and the amount thereof, and a certification by an appropriate officer of the Non-Filing Group Parent setting forth the Non-Filing Group’s belief, based on a thorough examination of the facts and Tax Law relating to the intended Tax treatment of such item, that (A) the intended Tax treatment of such item is supported by “substantial authority” within the meaning of Section 6662 of the Code (and the Treasury Regulations thereunder) or, where applicable, any analogous provision of state, local or foreign Law and (B) the transaction has economic substance for purposes of Section 7701 of the Code and any analogous provision of state, local or foreign Law. The Filing Group Parent, at the Non-Filing Group Parent’s expense, shall cooperate with the Non-Filing Group in connection with the filing and processing of any Non-Filing Group carryback and shall provide the Non-Filing Group Parent with copies of all correspondence related thereto.

(3) If the Filing Group Parent pays any amount to the Non-Filing Group Parent under Section 2.02(a)(iv)(1) and, as a result of a subsequent Determination, the Non-Filing Group is not entitled to all or any part of such amount, the Filing Group Parent shall notify the Non-Filing Group Parent of the amount to be repaid to the Filing Group Parent and provide a description in reasonable detail of the manner in which such amount was calculated. The Non-Filing Group Parent shall pay such amount to the Filing Group Parent within thirty (30) days of such notification.

(4) Any payment required to be made by the Filing Group Parent pursuant to this Section 2.02(a)(iv) shall bear interest at the Prime Rate plus two percent from the date a refund is received by Filing Group. Any payment required to be made by the Non-Filing Group Parent pursuant to this Section 2.02(a)(iv) shall bear interest at the Prime Rate plus two percent beginning thirty (30) days after the Filing Group Parent notifies the Non-Filing Group Parent of the amount to be repaid. Such interest shall be paid at the same time as the payment to which it relates.

(b) Effect of Audit Adjustments.

Notwithstanding Section 2.01 —

(i) Payments by Apergy to Dover. Except as provided in Section 3.01(b), if as a result of a Determination, any adjustment shall be made to any Tax Return for a taxable period relating, in whole or in part, to Tax for which any member of the Dover Group (determined following the Separation) is responsible, and if such adjustment results in both (x) a Tax Detriment to any member of the Dover Group for the taxable period and (y) a Tax Benefit to any member of the Apergy Group for any taxable period, then Apergy shall pay to Dover an amount equal to the lesser of the Tax Benefit for each taxable period and the Corresponding Portion of the Tax Detriment. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 2.02(b)(i) shall apply to

- 11 -

any adjustment under Section 482 of the Code or any similar provisions by any Tax Authority increasing the amount of payments received or deemed received by any member of the Dover Group from any member of the Apergy Group. For purposes of determining the Tax Benefit, the Tax Benefit shall be calculated based solely on the Tax Benefit realized by the relevant Apergy Group member directly affected by the Determination.

(ii) Payments by Dover to Apergy. If as a result of a Determination, any adjustment shall be made to any Tax Return for a taxable period relating, in whole or in part, to Tax for which any member of the Apergy Group is responsible, and if such adjustment results in both (x) a Tax Detriment to any member of the Apergy Group for the taxable period and (y) a Tax Benefit to any member of the Dover Group for any taxable period, then Dover shall pay to Apergy an amount equal to the lesser of the Tax Benefit for such taxable period and the Corresponding Portion of the Tax Detriment. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 2.02(b)(ii) shall apply to any adjustment under Section 482 of the Code or any similar provisions by any Tax Authority increasing the amount of payments received or deemed received by any member of the Apergy Group from any member of the Dover Group. For purposes of determining the Tax Benefit, the Tax Benefit shall be calculated based solely on the Tax Benefit realized by the relevant Dover Group member directly affected by the Determination.

(iii) Payments by Apergy to Dover with respect to a Combined, Unitary, or Similar Tax. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.02(b), if as a result of a Determination, any member of the Dover Group incurs a Tax Detriment for a taxable period resulting from a combination of one or more members of the Dover Group with one or more members of the Apergy Group in a jurisdiction (for example, through a combined, unitary, or similar Tax), where such members filed (or are deemed to have filed) Tax Returns without such combination in such jurisdiction for such taxable period, then Apergy shall pay Dover the amount of any such Tax Detriment. For purposes of this Section 2.02(b)(iii), Tax Detriment shall be calculated using a “with and without” methodology.

(iv) Timing of Payments. Any payment required to be made pursuant to this Section 2.02(b), shall be made the later of (x) thirty (30) days after the Determination that results in such payment pursuant to this Section 2.02(b) and (y) the earlier of (I) the due date of the Tax Return that includes the Tax Benefit that gives rise to the requirement for such payment and (II) the date the Tax Benefit is recognized in the financial statements of the Party making the payment.

(v) Determination of Tax Detriment. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement (except for Section 2.02(b)(iii)), the amount of a Tax Detriment with respect to income taxes attributable to the Apergy Group as a result of a Determination with respect to a Tax Return for a taxable period that includes both members of the Apergy Group and Dover Group (determined following the Distribution) shall be the aggregate of the adjustments to income of members of the Apergy Group resulting from such Determination (whether positive or negative) multiplied by the maximum statutory tax rate in effect for the taxable period in the relevant jurisdiction also taking into account adjustments of Tax credits in such Determination; provided, however, that (x) in no event shall such Tax Detriment be less than zero and (y) any Tax Detriment to any member of the Apergy Group for a taxable period attributable to a combination of one or more members of the Dover Group with one or more members of the Apergy Group in a jurisdiction, where such members filed Tax Returns without such combination in such jurisdiction for such taxable period, shall be borne by the Apergy Group.

- 12 -

(i) Research and Experimentation Credit Base Period. Dover shall reasonably make the allocations to Apergy required under Section 41(f)(3) of the Code and inform Apergy of such allocations. Apergy agrees that it shall not file any Tax Return that is inconsistent with the amount of qualified research expenditures and gross receipts allocated to it by Dover.

(ii) Allocation of Earnings and Profits (including PTI). The allocation of earnings and profits (including PTI) between Dover and Apergy in the case of the Distribution and between their Affiliates in the case of any Internal Distribution shall be reasonably determined by Dover pursuant to Section 312(h) of the Code and the relevant Treasury Regulations under the Code. Dover shall provide the allocation of earnings and profits (including PTI) to Apergy within ninety days after the Distribution Date.

(iii) Treatment of Tax Attributes. Dover shall in good faith allocate the Tax Attributes for the Pre-Distribution Period and the Straddle Period between the Dover Group and the Apergy Group in accordance with the Code and Treasury Regulations (and any applicable state, local and foreign Law), and shall in good faith advise Apergy in writing of the portion, if any, of the Tax Attributes which Dover determines shall be allocated or apportioned to the Apergy Group under applicable Law. Apergy and all members of the Apergy Group shall prepare all Tax Returns in accordance with such written notice. In the event that any temporary or final amendments to Treasury Regulations or any other applicable Law are promulgated after the date of this Agreement that provide for any election that would affect the preparation of any Tax Return which affects both a member of the Dover Group and a member of the Apergy Group and applies such regulations retroactively, then any such election shall be made only to the extent that Dover and Apergy collectively agree to make such election. As soon as practicable after receipt of a written request from Apergy, Dover shall provide copies of any studies, reports, and workpapers supporting the Tax Attributes, including earnings and profits, allocable to the Apergy Group. For the avoidance of doubt, Dover shall not be liable to Apergy or any member of the Apergy Group for any failure of any determination under this Section 2.02(c) to be accurate under applicable Law.

(iv) Revised Allocations. The allocations made under this Section 2.02(c) shall be revised by Dover to reflect each subsequent Determination that affects such allocations for any Pre-Distribution Period. Each revised calculation shall be provided to Apergy within 120 days of the Determination to which the revision relates.

(v) Review of Allocations. Apergy shall have the right to review the accuracy, but not the methodology, of any allocation made under this Section 2.02(c). Apergy shall notify Dover of any disagreement within forty-five (45) days of being notified of any allocation. Any dispute shall be resolved pursuant to the procedures provided by this Agreement.

- 13 -

Section 2.03 Option Deductions. The member of the Dover Group or the Apergy Group for which the relevant individual is currently employed or, if such individual is not currently employed by a member of either group, was most recently employed, at the time of the vesting, exercise, disqualifying disposition, payment or other relevant taxable event, as appropriate, in respect of equity awards and other incentive compensation of such individual described in the EMA, shall be entitled solely to claim any income Tax deduction in respect of such equity awards and other incentive compensation on its respective Tax Return associated with such event. To the extent any Tax deduction that is described in the first sentence of this Section 2.03 and claimed by any member of the Dover Group is disallowed to any and all members of the Dover Group and a Tax Authority makes a Determination that a member of the Apergy Group is entitled to such deduction, Dover shall notify Apergy of the receipt of such Determination, promptly after receipt thereof, and Apergy shall pay to Dover the lesser of the amount of its Tax Benefit and the amount of the corresponding Tax Detriment in accordance with Section 2.02(b). To the extent any Tax deduction that is described in the first sentence of this Section 2.03 and claimed by any member of the Apergy Group is disallowed to any and all members of the Apergy Group and a Tax Authority makes a Determination that a member of the Dover Group is entitled to such deduction, Apergy shall notify Dover of the receipt of such Determination, promptly after receipt thereof, and Dover shall pay to Apergy the lesser of the amount of its Tax Benefit and the amount of the Corresponding Portion of the Tax Detriment in accordance with Section 2.02(b).

Section 2.04 Tax Returns.

(a) Except as provided in Section 2.04(b), Dover shall prepare and timely file all Tax Returns for Pre-Distribution Periods (other than a Straddle Period) for which either the Dover Group or the Apergy Group is the Filing Group and all Tax Returns for Straddle Periods for all members of the Dover Group. In connection with each federal, state, local, and foreign Tax Return that is required under this Agreement to be filed by Dover for taxable periods ending in 2017 and 2018, Apergy shall timely furnish to Dover Tax information and documents as Dover may reasonably request. With respect to any information required to be provided by Apergy pursuant to this Section 2.04(a), (i) Dover shall utilize such information in the preparation of the appropriate Tax Returns as provided by Apergy, except to the extent (a) Apergy provides its prior written consent to change any such information, or (b) Dover determines in good faith that such information is inaccurate or incomplete in a material respect, and (ii) Apergy agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Dover and its Affiliates from and against any Indemnifiable Losses attributable to the misconduct or negligence of Apergy or any of its Affiliates in supplying Dover with inaccurate or incomplete information. An appropriate officer of Apergy shall provide a certification that, to such officer’s best knowledge and belief, any and all information provided pursuant to this Section 2.04(a) is accurate and complete. If Apergy fails to provide any information required by this Section 2.04(a) within the time period specified, Dover may file the applicable Tax Returns based on the information available at the time such Tax Returns are due and Apergy shall indemnify and hold harmless Dover and its Affiliates from Taxes or other Indemnifiable Losses imposed on Dover or any of its Affiliates but only to the extent resulting from Apergy’s failure to provide such information in a timely manner. In addition, Apergy shall make available employees and officers of Apergy and Apergy Affiliates, as Dover reasonably requests, to prepare and file any Tax Return for any Pre-Distribution Period

- 14 -

or Straddle Period (including any claims for refunds described in Section 2.02(a)) or to conduct any Tax Contest with respect to any such Tax Return. If Apergy is responsible under Section 2.01 for a portion of any Tax reported on a Tax Return prepared under this Section 2.04(a) by Dover, Dover shall provide Apergy with a copy of such Tax Return at least thirty (30) days prior to its due date. Apergy shall notify Dover of any disagreement within 20 days of Apergy’s receipt of such Tax Return. Any dispute shall be resolved pursuant to the procedures provided by this Agreement.

(b) Apergy shall be solely responsible for preparing and timely filing all Tax Returns relating to any Taxes that any member of the Apergy Group is required to file under applicable Law for any Post-Distribution Period (other than a Straddle Period) and shall prepare and timely file all Tax Returns for Straddle Periods that a member of the Apergy Group is required to file under applicable Law. If Dover is responsible under Section 2.01(a) for a portion of any Tax reported on a Straddle Period Tax Return prepared by a member of the Apergy Group, Apergy shall provide Dover with a copy of such Tax Return at least thirty (30) days prior to its due date. Dover shall notify Apergy of any disagreement within 20 days of Dover’s receipt of such Tax Return. Any dispute shall be resolved pursuant to the procedures provided by this Agreement.

(c) Except for amended Tax Returns resulting from a Determination, no amended Tax Return for any Pre-Distribution Period shall be filed by the Filing Group that includes a member of the Non-Filing Group unless the Non-Filing Group Parent consents, which consent shall not be unreasonably conditioned, denied, or withheld. However, notwithstanding the preceding sentence, no consent is required if either (i) the Filing Group reasonably determines that the amended Tax Return will not result in any increased Tax liability or reduced Tax Attribute of the Non-Filing Group, or (ii) the Filing Group reasonably determines that the amended Tax Return will result in an increased Tax liability or reduced Tax Attribute of the Non-Filing Group but agrees to indemnify the Non-Filing Group for such increased Tax liability or reduced Tax Attribute.

(d) No Tax election may be made with respect to any Tax Return for a Pre-Distribution Period by a member of the Filing Group that would affect a member of the Non-Filing Group unless notice of such Tax election is provided to the affected Non-Filing Group Parent within forty-five (45) days before such Tax Return will be filed. The Non-Filing Group Parent shall have the right to review such elections and request, within 15 days of such notice, that either no election be made or that an alternative election be made as appropriate. The Filing Group shall comply with such request (i) if the Filing Group reasonably determines that not making the election or that such alternative election will not result in any increased Tax liability or reduced Tax Attribute of the Filing Group, or (ii) the Filing Group reasonably determines that the amended Tax Return will result in an increased Tax liability or reduced Tax Attribute of the Filing Group but the Non-Filing Group agrees to indemnify the Filing Group for such increased Tax liability or reduced Tax.

(e) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, in the case of any Tax Return for or that includes a Pre-Distribution Period, the Party responsible for preparing and filing such Tax Return pursuant to this Section 2.04 shall prepare (or shall cause the appropriate member of its Group to prepare) such Tax Return in accordance with past practices, accounting

- 15 -

methods, elections or conventions (“Past Practices”) used in preparing and filing the corresponding Tax Return for prior periods and, to the extent any items are not covered by Past Practices, in accordance with reasonable Tax accounting practices. In addition, unless otherwise required by applicable Law, in the preparation and filing of any Tax Return for or that includes a Pre-Distribution Period, the Party responsible for preparing and filing such Tax Return shall not take (or shall cause the appropriate member of its Group not to take) any position (or make any election) that is inconsistent with any position taken or election made by Dover in connection with the preparation and filing of any consolidated U.S. Federal Income Tax Return that includes any Pre-Distribution Period. The Party not responsible for preparing and filing a Tax Return under this Section 2.04 shall cooperate as reasonably necessary to allow the other Party to prepare and file such Tax Return.

Section 2.05 Cooperation, Exchange of Information, and Tax Records.

(a) Cooperation and Exchange of Information. Each Party shall provide to the other such cooperation and information as reasonably may be requested in connection with (i) filing any Tax Return, amended return or claim for refund, (ii) determining a liability for Tax or a right to a refund of Tax, or (iii) participating in or conducting any Tax Contest. Such cooperation and information shall include providing copies of relevant Tax Records. Each Party shall devote the personnel and resources necessary in order to carry out this Section 2.05(a) and shall make its employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide explanations of any documents or information provided hereunder. Each Party shall carry out its responsibilities under this Section 2.05(a) charging to the other only the out-of-pocket costs actually incurred, except that Apergy shall not be entitled to compensation for information provided to Dover pursuant to Section 2.04(a). Apergy shall execute all necessary or appropriate forms, including powers of attorney, reasonably requested by Dover in connection with any action taken by Dover pursuant to this Agreement.

(b) Record Retention. Each of Dover and Apergy shall retain all Tax Records in its possession as of the Effective Time relating to any Pre-Distribution Period that are relevant to the other Party for purposes described in Section 2.05(a) until such time as the other Party shall consent to the disposition of such Tax Records, which consent shall not be withheld unreasonably.

Section 2.06 Tax Contests.

(a) Notice. The Indemnified Party shall provide prompt notice to the Indemnifying Party of any pending or threatened Tax audit, assessment, or proceeding, or other Tax Contest, of which it becomes aware, related to Tax for which it is indemnified by the Indemnifying Party hereunder. Such notice shall contain factual information (to the extent known) describing any asserted Tax liability in reasonable detail and shall be accompanied by copies of the relevant sections of any notice and other documents received from any Tax Authority with respect to any such matters. If the Indemnified Party has knowledge of an asserted Tax liability with respect to a matter for which it is to be indemnified hereunder and such Party fails to give the Indemnifying Party prompt notice of such asserted Tax liability, then (i) if the Indemnifying Party is precluded from contesting the asserted Tax liability in any forum as a result of the failure to give prompt notice, the Indemnifying Party shall have no obligation to

- 16 -

indemnify the Indemnified Party for any Tax resulting from such assertion of Tax liability, and (ii) if the Indemnifying Party is not precluded from contesting the asserted Tax liability in any forum, but such failure to give prompt notice results in a monetary detriment to the Indemnifying Party, then any amount that the Indemnifying Party is otherwise required to pay the Indemnified Party pursuant to this Agreement shall be reduced by the amount of such detriment.

(b) Control of Tax Contests.

(i) Apergy. Apergy shall have full responsibility and discretion in conducting, including settling, any Tax Contest involving a Tax Return which includes only members of the Apergy Group (taking into account any adjustment to the entities included on such Tax Return asserted in, or arising from, any Tax Contest) other than a Covered Transaction Tax or any Tax described in Section 2.01(b)(ii). Apergy shall provide notice to Dover and shall consult in good faith with Dover in connection with any Tax Contest in which the outcome is reasonably expected to have an adverse effect on any member of the Dover Group for any Pre-Distribution Period.

(ii) Dover. Dover shall have full responsibility and discretion in conducting, including settling, any Tax Contest that Apergy does not control pursuant to Section 2.06(b)(i). Subject to Section 2.06(b)(iii), Dover shall provide notice to Apergy and shall consult in good faith with Apergy in connection with any Tax Contest in which Apergy is required to make a payment to Dover under this Agreement or to any Tax Authority or any Tax Contest in which the outcome is reasonably expected to have an adverse effect on any member of the Apergy Group for any Post-Distribution Period. For the avoidance of doubt, Dover’s obligation to consult with Apergy in good faith shall not limit Dover’s discretion in conducting, including settling, any Tax Contest under this Section 2.06(b)(ii).

(iii) Covered Transaction Taxes. Apergy shall have the right to participate in the conduct of a Tax Contest related to Covered Transaction Taxes as a result of the application of Section 355(e) of the Code if, and only if, (x) Apergy has acknowledged in writing its liability for such Covered Transaction Tax if Section 355(e) were determined to apply, (y) Apergy shall have provided Dover with a letter of credit in a form reasonably acceptable to Dover and issued by a major money center commercial bank reasonably acceptable to Dover, not expiring before a Determination has occurred with respect to Dover’s Tax for the Post-Distribution Period that gave rise to the Covered Transaction Tax at issue, and in an amount equal to the maximum amount of Covered Transaction Tax at issue in the Tax Contest and (z) no Tax Return of any member of the Dover Group with respect to which any member of the Dover Group may reasonably be viewed as having an actual or potential liability for any Tax not indemnified against by Apergy is held open as a result of such Tax Contest. Dover shall not settle any Tax Contest described in this paragraph (iii) without the consent of Apergy, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

Section 2.07 Confidentiality. This Agreement and any information obtained or shared hereunder shall be subject to the terms of Section 7.5 of the Distribution Agreement.

If the liability for Covered Transaction Taxes is attributable to neither (i) any item section forth in Section 3.01(a) nor (ii) any item set forth in Section 3.01(b), then (x) such liability for any Covered Transaction Taxes will be equally borne by Dover, on the one hand, and Apergy, on the other hand; and (y) each of Dover, on the one hand, and Apergy, on the other hand, will indemnify the other Party against, and hold it harmless from, any Covered Transaction Taxes for which such other Party is not liable under this Section 3.01(d).

Any time before the day after the second anniversary of the Distribution Date, Apergy shall not (and shall cause its Affiliates to not) (A) enter into any agreement, understanding, or arrangement as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.355-7(h), pursuant to which any Person would (directly or indirectly) acquire, or have the right to acquire, any Apergy Stock Interests or (B) take any action that permits a proposed acquisition of Apergy Stock Interests to occur by means of an agreement to which none of Apergy or any of its Affiliates is a party, including by (x) soliciting any Person to make a tender offer for, or otherwise acquire or sell, Apergy Stock Interests, or approving or otherwise permitting any such transaction, whether for purposes of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporate Law or any similar corporate statute, any “fair price” or other provision of Apergy’s charter or bylaws (and, in each case, any equivalent document thereof) or otherwise, (y) participating in or otherwise supporting any unsolicited tender offer for, or other unsolicited acquisition or disposition of, Apergy Stock Interests, or approving or otherwise permitting any such transaction, or (z) redeeming rights under a shareholder rights plan, making a determination that a tender offer is a “permitted offer” under any such plan or otherwise causing any such plan to be inapplicable or neutralized with respect to any proposed acquisition of Apergy Stock Interests. For these purposes, an acquisition of Apergy Stock Interests will include any recapitalization, repurchase or redemption of Apergy Stock Interests; any adoption, modification or amendment of an employee stock purchase agreement, equity-based compensation plan or other similar agreement, plan or arrangement; any issuance of Apergy Stock Interests (including any nonvoting stock or equity and any class of Apergy Stock Interests) or an instrument exchangeable or convertible into such Stock Interests (whether pursuant to an exercise of stock

- 19 -

options, as a result of a capital contribution, or otherwise); any option grant; any conversion of Apergy Stock Interests into another class of Apergy Stock Interests; or any amendment to the certificate of incorporation (or other organizational document) of Apergy, or any change in the terms of any Apergy Stock Interests or any other action (whether effected through a shareholder vote or otherwise) (including through the conversion of any Stock Interests into another class of Stock Interests) that is treated as increasing a Person’s percentage interest for U.S. federal income Tax purposes in Apergy Stock Interests; provided, however, that the following shall not be taken into account: (i) issuances of options, restricted stock and/or deferred stock units and the shares of Apergy Stock Interests issued upon the exercise or vesting, as applicable, of such options, restricted stock and/or deferred stock units, provided that such issuance is described in Safe Harbor VIII of Treasury Regulations Section 1.355-7(d), (ii) issuances or acquisitions of stock that are described in Safe Harbor IX of Treasury Regulations Section 1.355-7(d), or (iii) adoption, amendment, or modification of an employee stock purchase agreement, equity compensation agreement, retirement plan or other compensation arrangement provided that any issuances or acquisitions of Apergy Stock Interests under such arrangement are described in Safe Harbor VIII of Treasury Regulations Section 1.355-7(d) or Safe Harbor IX of Treasury Regulations Section 1.355-7(d). This Section 4.02(a)(i) shall not apply to any proposed transaction (but, for the avoidance of doubt, one or more other clauses of this Section 4.02(a) may still define the proposed transaction as a Specified Action) unless, at the time such transaction would occur, other transactions have occurred that are described in such clauses and that result in one or more Persons acquiring directly or indirectly stock representing, in the aggregate, a 40 percent or greater interest in Apergy (i.e., stock possessing at least 40 percent of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock entitled to vote or at least 40 percent of the total value of shares of all classes of stock). This Section 4.02(a)(i) and the application thereof is intended to monitor compliance with Section 355(e) of the Code and shall be interpreted accordingly. Any clarification of, or change in, the statute or regulations promulgated under Section 355(e) of the Code shall be incorporated in this definition and its interpretation.

(ii) Other Actions. Any time before the day after the second anniversary of the Distribution Date, Apergy shall not (and shall cause its Affiliates to not) (A) merge or consolidate Apergy with or into any corporation where Apergy is not the survivor of such merger or consolidation, or liquidate or partially liquidate Apergy (including any liquidation effected pursuant to a merger, consolidation, or conversion, and including any other transaction that causes Apergy to cease to be treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes); (B) sell, exchange, distribute, or otherwise dispose of, other than in the ordinary course of business, more than 25 percent (measured by reference to the fair market value at the time of the Distribution) of the gross assets of any of the trades or businesses relied on to satisfy Section 355(b) of the Code or any comparable provision of state, local or foreign Law with respect to the Distribution; (C) discontinue or cause to be discontinued the active conduct of any of the trades or businesses relied on by Apergy to satisfy Section 355(b) of the Code or any comparable provision of state, local or foreign Law; (D) cause or permit any Subsidiary of Apergy the active business of which was relied on by Apergy to satisfy Section 355(b) of the Code or any comparable provision of state, local or foreign Law to cease to be a member of the Apergy separate affiliated group, as defined in Section 355(b)(3)(B) of the Code; or (E) redeem or otherwise repurchase (directly or through an Affiliate) any Apergy Stock Interests, except to

- 20 -

the extent such repurchases satisfy Section 4.05(1)(b) of Revenue Procedure 96-30 as in effect prior to the amendment of such Revenue Procedure by Revenue Procedure 2003-48 (provided, however, that the fact that any such redemption or repurchase satisfies Section 4.05(1)(b) of Revenue Procedure 96-30 shall not prevent such redemption or repurchase from being considered or taken into account for purposes of determining, pursuant to Section 4.02(a)(i), whether, at the time such transaction would occur, other transactions have occurred that are described Section 4.02(a)(i) and that result in one or more Persons acquiring directly or indirectly stock representing, in the aggregate, a 40 percent or greater interest in Apergy).

(iii) Actions Involving Distributing Corporations or Controlled Corporations. With respect to each Internal Distribution in which a Apergy Affiliate was the “distributing corporation” or the “controlled corporation” within the meaning of Section 355 of the Code (each such corporation, individually, the “Applicable Corporation”), any time before the day after the second anniversary of the date of the Distribution, Apergy shall not (and shall cause its Affiliates to not) (A) merge or consolidate the Applicable Corporation with or into any corporation where the Applicable Corporation is not the survivor of such merger or consolidation, or liquidate or partially liquidate the Applicable Corporation (including any liquidation effected pursuant to a merger, consolidation, or conversion, and including any other transaction that causes the Applicable Corporation to cease to be treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes); (B) sell, exchange, distribute, or otherwise dispose of, other than in the ordinary course of business, more than 25 percent (measured by reference to the fair market value at the time of such Internal Distribution) of the gross assets of any of the trades or businesses relied on to satisfy Section 355(b) of the Code or any comparable provision of state, local or foreign Law with respect to such Internal Distribution; (C) discontinue or cause to be discontinued the active conduct of any of the trades or businesses relied on by the Applicable Corporation to satisfy Section 355(b) of the Code or any comparable provision of state, local or foreign Law; (D) cause or permit any Subsidiary of the Applicable Corporation the active business of which was relied on by the Applicable Corporation to satisfy Section 355(b) of the Code or any comparable provision of state, local or foreign Law to cease to be a member of the Applicable Corporation separate affiliated group, as defined in Section 355(b)(3)(B) of the Code; or (E) enter into any agreement, understanding, or arrangement, as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.355-7(h), pursuant to which any Person would (directly or indirectly) acquire, or have the right to acquire, any Stock Interests of an Applicable Corporation; provided, however, clause (E) shall not apply to (i) an Applicable Corporation’s issuance of Stock Interests pro rata to the Person(s) that own(s) all of such Applicable Corporation’s outstanding Stock Interests at the time of the Distribution (e.g., in a transaction subject to Section 351(a) of the Code), and (ii) an acquisition of Stock Interests, or right to acquire Stock Interests, of an Applicable Corporation if Apergy owns (directly or indirectly) 100 percent of the Stock Interests of such Applicable Corporation immediately after such acquisition.

(iv) No Inconsistent Actions. Regardless of any change in circumstances, Apergy covenants and agrees that it shall not take any action (and it shall cause its Affiliates to refrain from taking any action) that is inconsistent with any factual statements or representations made in connection with any Tax Opinion or the Tax Rulings on or before the day after the second anniversary of the Distribution Date other than as permitted in this Section 4.02. For this purpose an action is considered inconsistent with a representation if the representation states that there is no plan or intention to take such action.

- 21 -

(b) Amended or Supplemental Rulings. Apergy covenants and agrees that it shall refrain from filing, and it shall cause its Affiliates to refrain from filing, a request for any amendment or supplement to the Tax Rulings subsequent to the Distribution Date without the consent of Dover, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

(c) Tax Returns. Each of Dover and Apergy covenants and agrees that it shall refrain from taking, and it shall cause its Affiliates to refrain from taking, any position on a Tax Return that is inconsistent with (i) the intended Tax treatment of the transactions provided by any Tax Opinion, (ii) the Contribution (and the contributions with respect to the Internal Distributions, if any) qualifying for Tax-free treatment under Section 361 of the Code, (iii) the intended Tax treatment of the transactions provided by the Tax Rulings, or (iv) the documents effecting any transaction undertaken in connection with the Separation that is not addressed by any Tax Ruling or any Tax Opinion.

(d) Exception. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Apergy shall be permitted to take an action inconsistent with Section 4.02(a), if, prior to taking such action, Apergy provides advance notification to Dover of its plans with respect to such action and promptly responds to any inquiries by Dover following such notification, and (unless Dover agrees otherwise in writing) either:

(i) In case of an action affecting the intended Tax treatment of transactions described in any Tax Opinion, Apergy obtains:

(1) a ruling with respect to the action from the relevant Tax Authority that is reasonably satisfactory to Dover (except that Apergy shall not submit any supplemental ruling request if Dover determines in good faith that filing such request could have a materially adverse effect on Dover or any of its Affiliates), or

(2) an opinion, in form and in substance acceptable to Dover in its sole and absolute discretion, which discretion shall be exercised in good faith solely to preserve the intended Tax treatment of such transactions, of an independent nationally recognized Tax counsel, reasonably acceptable to Dover, on the basis of facts and representations consistent with the facts at the time of such action, that such action will not affect the intended Tax treatment of the transactions provided by the Tax Opinion (in determining whether an opinion is satisfactory, Dover may consider, among other factors, the appropriateness of any underlying assumptions and management’s representation if used as a basis for the opinion and Dover may determine that no opinion would be acceptable to Dover), or

(ii) In case of an action affecting the intended Tax treatment of the Ruling Transactions, Apergy obtains:

- 22 -

(2) an opinion, in form and in substance acceptable to Dover in its sole and absolute discretion, which discretion shall be exercised in good faith solely to preserve the intended Tax treatment of such transactions, of an independent Tax counsel, reasonably acceptable to Dover, on the basis of facts and representations consistent with the facts at the time of such action, that such action will not affect the intended Tax treatment of the transactions provided by the Tax Rulings (in determining whether an opinion is satisfactory, Dover may consider, among other factors, the appropriateness of any underlying assumptions and management’s representation if used as a basis for the opinion and Dover may determine that no opinion would be acceptable to Dover). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Apergy shall be responsible for, and shall indemnify Dover and hold Dover harmless from, any Covered Transaction Tax resulting from a Specified Action of Apergy or any Apergy Affiliate, regardless of whether the exception of this Section 4.02(d) is satisfied with respect to such act.

(e) Duty to Mitigate Recognition or Recapture of Income. Prior to any event that may result in recognition or recapture of income (including under any gain recognition agreement entered into pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.367(a)-8), Dover and Apergy shall use (and shall cause the members of the Dover Group and Apergy Group, respectively, to use) all commercially reasonable efforts to eliminate such gain recognition or recapture of income or otherwise avoid or minimize the impact thereof to the other party, including by the execution of an appropriate gain recognition agreement pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.367(a)-8.

(f) Dover shall provide to Apergy true and complete copies of all ruling requests, rulings, tax opinions, tax opinion representation letters and any supplement of such documents (including all exhibits and attachments thereto) provided to or received from a Tax Authority or Tax counsel in connection with the Separation and Distribution by the later of (i) the Distribution Date or (ii) thirty (30) days of providing or receiving such document; provided, however, that (i) Dover shall not be required to provide to Apergy drafts of any such documents; (ii) in no event shall Dover be required to provide Apergy or any other Person access to or copies of any information if such action could reasonably be expected to result in the waiver of any Privilege; and (iii) in the event that Dover determines that the provision of any information to Apergy would be commercially detrimental in any material respect, violate any Law or Contract with a Third Party or waive any Privilege, the Parties shall take all reasonable measures (and, to the extent applicable, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the Consent from any Third Party required to make such disclosure without violating a Contract with a Third Party) to permit compliance with its obligations under this Section 4.02 in a manner that avoids any such harm, violation or consequence.

Section 4.03 No Continuing Liability for Former Members.

(a) Dover Affiliates. If a Dover Affiliate ceases to be a member of the Dover Group as a result of a sale or exchange of all of the stock of such member, other than an exchange for which the consideration received by Dover is the stock of Dover or a Dover Affiliate, the departing Dover Affiliate shall be released from its obligations under this Agreement upon its departure from the Dover Group.

- 23 -

(b) Apergy Affiliates. If a Apergy Affiliate ceases to be a member of the Apergy Group as a result of a sale or exchange of all of the stock of such member, other than an exchange for which the consideration received by Apergy is the stock of Apergy or a Apergy Affiliate, the departing Apergy Affiliate shall be released from its obligations under this Agreement upon its departure from the Apergy Group.

Section 4.04 Section 336(e) Election. Pursuant to Treasury Regulation Sections 1.336-2(h)(1)(i) and 1.336-2(j), Dover and Apergy agree that Dover shall make timely protective elections under Section 336(e) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations issued thereunder with respect to the Distribution for Apergy and with respect to the Internal Distributions, to the extent determined by Dover in its sole discretion, for each Apergy Subsidiary that is a domestic corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes (a “Section 336(e) Election”). To the extent, pursuant to a Determination, the Distribution constitutes a “qualified stock disposition,” as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.336-1(b)(6), the Parties shall not, and shall not permit any of their respective Subsidiaries to, take any position for Tax purposes inconsistent with the relevant Section 336(e) Election, except as may be required pursuant to a Determination. If and to the extent that the Tax-free status of the Distribution does not apply with respect to the Distribution, and any resulting Taxes (including any Taxes attributable to the Section 336(e) Election) are considered Taxes for which Dover is responsible under this Agreement, then, to that extent, Dover will be entitled to quarterly payments from Apergy of the actual Tax savings arising from the step-up in Tax basis resulting from the Section 336(e) Election, determined using a “with and without” methodology; provided, however, that, if Taxes are imposed on Dover (or any of its Subsidiaries) or Apergy (or any of its Subsidiaries) and liability for such Taxes is borne equally by Dover and Apergy pursuant to Section 3.01(c) or Section 3.01(d) hereof, then Apergy will pay to Dover each quarter fifty percent of the Tax savings; and provided, further, however, that all payments made to Dover under this Section 4.04 will be reduced by a reasonable charge for administrative expenses and other reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of Apergy (and its Subsidiaries) that are necessary to secure the Tax savings, including expenses paid or incurred in connection with a Tax Contest or to amend a Tax Return. Nothing in this Section 4.04 shall prevent Dover and Apergy from reaching an agreement on an alternative method for Dover’s recoupment of the Tax savings attributable to the step-up in basis (e.g., through a single payment using a negotiated discount rate).

Unless a provision in this Agreement specifically provides a different time for payment, the Indemnifying Party shall pay to the Indemnified Party any payment it owes to the Indemnified Party under this Agreement within thirty (30) days after the receipt of the invoice for such payment.

- 29 -

(c) Character of Payments. For Tax purposes, the Parties agree to treat any payment pursuant to this Agreement in the same manner as a capital contribution by Dover to Apergy or an adjustment to the Contribution made in the last taxable period beginning before the Distribution (or corresponding treatment with respect to any Internal Distribution) and, accordingly, as not includible in the gross income of the recipient and not deductible by the payor to the extent allowed under Law. If pursuant to a Determination it is determined that the receipt or accrual of any payment made under this Agreement is subject to any Tax, the Party making such payment shall be responsible for the After-Tax Amount with respect to such payment. The failure of a Party to include an After-Tax Amount in a demand for payment pursuant to this Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver by the Party of its right to receive an After-Tax Amount with respect to such payment.

(d) Interest on Late Payments. Unless a provision in this Agreement specifically provides otherwise, any payment required to be made pursuant to this Agreement that is not made on or before the due date for such payment shall bear interest from the date after the due date to and including the date of payment at the Prime Rate plus two percent. Such interest shall be paid at the same time as the payment to which it relates. Any interest payable pursuant to this paragraph that is not paid when due shall bear interest at the Prime Rate plus two percent.

Section 5.20 No Duplication. Any indemnification provided under this Agreement shall be determined without duplication of recovery whether by operation of this Agreement, the Distribution Agreement or any other agreement entered into in connection with the Separation.

ARTICLE 2

SERVICES PROVIDED

2.1 Dover Provided Services. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Services Agreement, commencing as of the Effective Time, the Dover Entities agree to provide, or cause to be provided, to Apergy, the members of the Apergy Group and the Apergy Business, as designated by Apergy, the services described in Schedule A to this Services Agreement (the “Dover Provided Services”).

2.2 Apergy Provided Services. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Services Agreement, commencing as of the Effective Time, the Apergy Entities agree to provide, or cause to be provided, to Dover, the members of the Dover Group and the Dover Business, as designated by Dover, the services described in Schedule B to this Services Agreement (the “Apergy Provided Services”).

2.3 Omitted Services. If, after the execution of this Services Agreement and prior to the date that is two months from the date hereof, the Parties determine that a service provided by or to the Apergy Business as conducted by Apergy or its Subsidiaries prior to the Separation was inadvertently omitted from the Schedules to this Services Agreement (an “Omitted Service”), then the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to agree to the terms and conditions upon which such services would be added to this Services Agreement, it being agreed that the charges for such services should be determined on a basis consistent with the methodology for determining the initial prices provided for herein (i.e., sufficient to cover a Provider’s reasonable estimate of its actual costs and, if applicable, consistent with the prices such Provider would charge to an Affiliate), in each case without taking into account any profit margin or projected savings from increased efficiency; provided, however, no Party or Provider shall be required to provide any Omitted Service pursuant to this Section 2.3 if (x) it does not, in its reasonable judgment, have adequate resources to provide such Omitted Service, (y) the provision of such Omitted Service would significantly disrupt the operation of its business or (z) the Parties are unable to reach agreement on the terms and conditions applicable to such Omitted Service.

2.4 Service Changes. After the execution of this Services Agreement and prior to the date that is two months from the date hereof, either Party may request that the other Party modify, alter or adjust the manner in which the other Party provides services (a “Service Change”). Following the delivery of such request, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith the terms and conditions of such Service Change; provided, however, that no Party or Provider shall be required to agree to a Service Change pursuant to this Section 2.4 if (x) it does not, in its reasonable judgment, have adequate resources for such Service Change, (y) the Service Change would significantly disrupt the operation of its business or (z) the Parties are unable to reach agreement on the terms and conditions applicable to such Service Change.

2.5 New Services. After the execution of this Services Agreement and prior to the date that is two months from the date hereof, either Party may request that the other Party provide an additional or different service that is not an Omitted Service and that does not constitute a Service Change (a “New Service”). The other Party shall consider such request in good faith, but nothing in this Services Agreement shall require the other Party to agree to provide such New Service. If the other Party consents to providing the requested New Service, then the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to agree to the terms and conditions upon which such New Service would be added to this Services Agreement, it being agreed that the charges for such New Service should be determined on a basis consistent with the methodology for determining the initial prices provided for herein (as described in Section 2.3).

2.6 Amendments. If the Parties agree on the fees and other specific terms and conditions applicable to an Omitted Service, Service Change or New Service, the Parties shall execute an amendment to this Services Agreement that provides for the substitution of the relevant Schedule, or additions or supplements to the relevant Schedule, in order to describe such Omitted Service, Service Change or New Service, as applicable, and the agreement upon the related fees and other specific terms and conditions applicable thereto.

ARTICLE 3

COMPENSATION

3.1 Compensation for Dover Provided Services. Subject to Section 3.5, the compensation for the Dover Provided Services for the duration of the Term shall be as described for each individual service provided to the Apergy Business as set forth on Schedule A, or if not set forth on Schedule A, then based on the actual cost of providing such service as agreed by the Parties from time to time.

3.2 Compensation for Apergy Provided Services. Subject to Section 3.5, the compensation for the Apergy Provided Services for the duration of the Term shall be as described for each individual service provided by the Apergy Business as set forth on Schedule B, or if not set forth on Schedule B, then based on the actual cost of providing such service as agreed by the Parties from time to time.

3.3 Allocation of Certain Expenses.

(a) In addition to the payment of all compensation provided under Section 3.1 or Section 3.2, as applicable, each Recipient shall reimburse the applicable Provider for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses directly or indirectly incurred by such Provider or its Affiliates in connection with providing the applicable services hereunder (including all reasonable travel-related expenses) to the extent that such costs and expenses are not reflected in the compensation for such services on Schedule A or Schedule B, as applicable; provided, however, any such costs and expenses expected to exceed $1,000 per month (other than routine business travel and related expenses) that are not consistent with the historical practice between the Parties for any individual service shall require advance approval of the applicable Recipient. Any travel-related expenses incurred by a Provider in performing the applicable services hereunder shall be incurred and charged to the applicable Recipient in accordance with such Provider’s then applicable business travel policies.

(b) In the event that a Recipient terminates any individual service as contemplated by Section 4.2 earlier than the expiration of the Initial Term or the Renewal Term, if applicable, such Recipient shall reimburse the applicable Provider for any and all out-of-pocket costs and expenses directly or indirectly incurred by such Provider or any of its Affiliates as a result of such early termination by such Recipient, including early termination fees and other costs incurred in order to terminate or reduce the level of services provided by Third Parties under Contracts with a Provider or any of its Affiliates, which services are affected by such early termination, and increased or additional costs associated with continuing any other services, such reimbursement to be due and payable within five Business Days following such Recipient’s receipt of any invoice from such Provider with respect to such costs and expenses.

3.4 Taxes.

(a) In addition to the compensation payable to each Provider determined exclusive of the Taxes payable by each Recipient under this Section 3.4, each Recipient will pay and be liable for all sales, service, value added, lease, use, transfer, consumption or similar Taxes levied and measured by: (i) the cost of services provided to such Recipient under this Services Agreement or (ii) each Provider’s cost in acquiring property or services used or consumed by any such Provider in providing services under this Services Agreement (the “Sales and Service Taxes”). Such Taxes will be payable by the applicable Recipient to the applicable Provider in accordance with this Section 3.4 or as otherwise mutually agreed in writing by the Parties and under the terms of the applicable Law which govern the relevant Sales and Service Tax. Each Recipient’s obligation to pay Sales and Service Taxes under this Section 3.4 shall be subject to the receipt of (i) a computation of the Sales and Service Taxes payable under this Section 3.4 identifying the nature and amount of the goods or services on which the Sales and Service Tax is assessed and the applicable rate and (ii) a valid and customary invoice (or other document) under the terms of applicable Law for each Sales and Service Tax. If a Recipient complies with the terms of this Section 3.4 regarding the payment of Sales and Service Taxes, it shall not be liable for any interest, penalties or other charges attributable to the applicable Provider’s improper filing relating to Sales and Service Taxes or late payment or failure to remit Sales and Service Taxes to the relevant taxing authority.

(b) The Parties acknowledge that each Provider and each Recipient shall pay and be responsible for their own personal property Taxes and Taxes based on their own income or profits or assets.

(c) Payments for services or other amounts under this Services Agreement shall be made net of withholding Taxes, provided, however, that if a Provider reasonably believes that a reduced rate of withholding applies or such Provider is exempt from withholding, the applicable Recipient shall only be required to apply such reduced rate of withholding or not withhold if such Provider provides such Recipient with evidence reasonably satisfactory to such Recipient that a reduced rate of or no withholding is required, including rulings or certificates from, or other correspondence with taxing authorities and tax opinions rendered by qualified persons, to the extent reasonably requested by such Recipient. Each Recipient shall promptly remit any amounts withheld to the appropriate taxing authority, and in the event that such Recipient receives a refund of any amounts previously withheld from payments to a Provider and remitted, such Recipient shall surrender such refund to such Provider.

(d) Each Provider and each Recipient shall promptly notify the other of any deficiency claim or similar notice by a taxing authority with respect to Sales and Service Taxes payable under this Service Agreement, and of any pending tax audit or other proceeding relating to Sales and Service Taxes or withholding with respect to this Service Agreement, and shall afford such party a reasonable opportunity to participate in any such audit or proceeding affecting its interests.

3.5 Price Adjustments.

(a) The Parties shall review the respective costs of each Provider providing services hereunder as of the date that is two months from the date hereof (and thereafter upon the written request of a Provider (which may not be given more than once in any 30-day period)). If it is determined in connection with any such review that a Provider’s cost of providing services hereunder (taken individually) exceeds by at least ten percent the charge for such service(s), including because of a significant increase in usage by a Recipient or other circumstances beyond the reasonable control of such Provider (including events of Force Majeure), then, upon request of such Provider, such Provider and its Recipient shall negotiate in good faith to determine an appropriate adjustment to the then-current prices for such services on a basis consistent with the methodology for determining the initial prices provided for herein (as described in Section 2.3).

(b) If the Parties determine (which determination shall be made in good faith) that the initial prices set forth on the Schedules hereto are not consistent with the methodology for determining the initial prices as described in Section 3.5(a), then the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to adjust such charges in a manner that is consistent with such methodology.

(c) Notwithstanding Section 3.5(a), if a service is being provided by a Provider to a Recipient hereunder through a Third Party as contemplated by Section 5.4 and such Third Party increases the costs of such service, then such increased costs (and any corresponding adjustments to Taxes payable or to be withheld in accordance with Section 3.4) shall be immediately passed along to such Recipient and reflected in a supplement to Schedule A or Schedule B, as applicable.

3.6 Terms of Payment; Dispute Resolution; Audits.

(a) Each Provider shall invoice its respective Recipient for the services provided under Section 3.1 or Section 3.2, as applicable, monthly in advance on the first calendar day of each month of the Term following the date hereof (or the first Business Day following each such date). Each Provider shall also provide invoices to its respective Recipient monthly in arrears for amounts, such as Sales and Service Taxes and out-of-pocket or other expenses, that are payable in addition to the fee for the service that was paid in advance pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 3.6(a). Recipient shall pay Provider (or its designee) within 30 days after receipt of any of the foregoing invoices. No Recipient shall withhold any payments to its Provider under this Services Agreement, and such payments shall be made without any other setoff or deduction, notwithstanding any dispute that may be pending between them, whether under this Services Agreement or otherwise (any required adjustment being made on subsequent invoices). Amounts not paid on or before the date required to be paid hereunder shall accrue interest at a rate equal to 0.5% per month (or the maximum legal rate, whichever is lower), calculated for the actual number of days elapsed, accrued from the date such payment was due hereunder until the date of the actual receipt of payment. A Provider’s failure to invoice on the first calendar day of a month for any fees and/or expenses shall not constitute a waiver of such Provider’s right to subsequently invoice and collect such fees and expenses.

(b) All amounts due for services rendered pursuant to this Services Agreement shall be billed and paid in the currency in which the rate for such service is quoted, as stated herein or as shown on the Schedules hereto.

(c) If there is a dispute between any Recipient and any Provider regarding the amounts shown as billed to such Recipient on any invoice, such Provider shall furnish to such Recipient reasonable documentation to substantiate the amounts billed including listings of the dates, times and amounts of the services in question where applicable and practicable. Upon delivery of such documentation, such Recipient and such Provider shall cooperate and use their commercially reasonable efforts to resolve such dispute among themselves. If such disputing parties are unable to resolve their dispute within 30 calendar days of the delivery of such documentation, and such Recipient believes in good faith and with a reasonable basis that the amounts shown as billed to such Recipient are inaccurate or are otherwise not in accordance with the terms of this Services Agreement, then such Recipient shall have the right, at its own expense, to have any disputed invoice(s) audited as provided in Section 3.6(d).

(d) Any audit pursuant to Section 3.6(c) shall be limited solely to the purpose of verifying the amounts in dispute and shall be made by an independent certified public accounting firm selected and paid for by the Recipient initiating such audit and reasonably satisfactory to the Provider being audited (such accounting firm, the “Independent Accountants”). Any such audit shall be reasonably conducted by the Independent Accountants during the normal business hours of the Provider being audited. Such Provider shall reasonably

cooperate with the Independent Accountants and shall make available to the Independent Accountants all applicable cost and other data as may be reasonably necessary for the sole purpose of verifying the amounts in dispute. The Independent Accountants shall not disclose any of the underlying data and information to said Recipient or to any other Person (except as may be required by Law) and, prior to any such audit the Independent Accountants shall, if requested by the Provider being audited, enter into a confidentiality agreement reasonably acceptable to such Provider. The determination of the Independent Accountants shall be final and binding on the Parties.

ARTICLE 4

TERM AND TERMINATION

4.1 Term. Except as expressly provided otherwise in this Services Agreement, or with respect to specific services as indicated on the Schedules hereto, the term of this Services Agreement shall be for an initial period commencing at 12:01 a.m. on the date immediately following the date hereof and ending on January 31, 2019 (the “Initial Term”). Effective between the respective Provider and Recipient, the Initial Term may be extended for an additional period ending on the one-year anniversary of the date hereof, or such other period set forth on Schedule A or Schedule B (the “Renewal Term”) at the request of a Recipient by written notice from such Recipient to its Provider, with copies to Dover and Apergy; any such notice shall be made not less than two months prior to the end of the Initial Term. The obligation of any Recipient to make a payment for services previously rendered shall not be affected by the expiration of the Initial Term or Renewal Term and shall survive such expiration and continue until full payment is made.

4.2 Termination of Individual Services.

(a) Effective between the respective Provider and Recipient, a Recipient may terminate at any time any individual service provided under this Services Agreement on a service-by-service basis (and/or location-by-location basis where an individual service is provided to multiple locations of a Recipient) upon written notice to such Provider identifying the particular service (or location) to be terminated and the effective date of termination, which date shall not be less than 30 days after receipt of such notice unless such Provider otherwise agrees. The termination of any individual services pursuant to this Section 4.2 shall not affect this Services Agreement with respect to the services not terminated under this Section 4.2. In addition, effective between the respective Provider and Recipient, a Provider may terminate at any time any individual service provided under this Services Agreement upon written notice to its respective Recipient identifying the particular service to be terminated and the effective date of termination if the employee that was providing the applicable service is no longer employed by such Provider (and there is no other employee employed by such Provider at the time that could reasonably provide such service).

(b) The Parties acknowledge and agree that (a) there may be interdependencies among the services being provided under this Services Agreement; (b) upon the request of either Party, the Parties shall cooperate and act in good faith to determine whether (i) any such interdependencies exist with respect to the particular service that a Party is seeking

to terminate pursuant to Section 4.2(a) (the “To-be-Terminated Service”) and (ii) in the case of such termination, the Provider’s ability to provide a particular service in accordance with this Services Agreement would be materially and adversely affected by such termination of another service (the “Adversely Affected Service”); and (c) in the event that the Parties have determined that such interdependencies exist and such termination would materially and adversely affect the Provider’s ability to provide a particular service in accordance with this Services Agreement, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to amend the Schedules hereto with respect to such Adversely Affected Service, which amendment shall be consistent with the terms of comparable services. If, after such negotiations, the Parties are unable to agree on an amendment with respect to the Adversely Affected Service, the dispute between the Parties shall be resolved in accordance with the terms of Section 9.13, and the Provider’s obligation to provide, and the Recipient’s obligation to pay for, the To-be-Terminated Service and the Adversely Affected Service shall continue until the resolution of such dispute.

4.3 Termination of Agreement. This Services Agreement shall terminate on the earliest to occur of (a) a date mutually agreed in writing by the Parties, (b) the latest date on which any service is to be provided as indicated on Schedule A and Schedule B, (c) the date on which the provision of all services has terminated pursuant to Section 4.2 and (d) the date on which this Services Agreement is terminated in its entirety pursuant to Section 4.4.

4.4 Breach of Agreement. If either Party (or member of its respective Group) shall materially breach any of its obligations under this Services Agreement, including any failure to perform any services or to make payments when due, and such breach is not cured within 30 days after the breaching Party receives written notice thereof from the non-breaching Party, the non-breaching Party may (i) terminate this entire Services Agreement, including the provision of all services pursuant hereto, immediately by providing written notice of termination or (ii) terminate the individual services that are subject to such material breach, immediately by providing notice of such selective termination and identifying the particular services to be so terminated; provided that the non-breaching Party shall not be entitled to terminate this Services Agreement or any individual services, as applicable, if, as of the end of such 30-day period, there remains a good faith dispute between the Parties (undertaken in accordance with Section 9.13) as to whether the other Party (or member of its Group) materially breached this Services Agreement or has cured the applicable breach. If the non-breaching Party decides to terminate individual services in accordance with this Section 4.4 (rather than the entire Services Agreement), such termination of such individual services pursuant to this Section 4.4 shall not affect this Services Agreement with respect to the services not terminated under this Section 4.4. The failure of a Party to exercise its rights hereunder with respect to a breach by the other Party (or member of its Group) shall not be construed as a waiver of such rights nor prevent such Party from subsequently asserting such rights with regard to the same or similar defaults.

4.5 Effect of Termination. Upon the termination of any service pursuant to this Services Agreement, the Provider of such terminated service shall have no further obligation to provide such terminated service. In the event of (a) a termination or expiration of this Services Agreement in its entirety, each Provider shall be entitled to all outstanding amounts due from the applicable Recipient for the provision of services rendered through the date of termination or otherwise payable hereunder or (b) a partial termination of this Services Agreement with respect to individual services in accordance with Section 4.2 or clause (ii) of Section 4.4, the Provider(s)

that were providing the services that are so terminated shall be entitled to all outstanding amounts due from the relevant Recipient(s) of such terminated services for the provision of such services rendered through the date of the termination of such individual service or otherwise payable hereunder. This Section 4.5, Section 5.6, Article 1, Article 7, Article 8 and Article 9 shall survive any termination or expiration of this Services Agreement.

ARTICLE 5

CERTAIN COVENANTS

5.1 Standard of Services.

(a) Each Provider shall perform the services that it is required to provide to its respective Recipient(s) under this Services Agreement in substantially the same nature, quality, standard of care and service levels at which the same or similar services were performed by or on behalf of Dover or any of its Subsidiaries to Dover or any of its Subsidiaries prior to the Distribution Date. The Parties acknowledge and agree that each Provider (and each member of its Group) makes no representations or warranties (including warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular use or purpose or the non-infringement of any Intellectual Property rights of Third Parties) or guarantees of any kind, express or implied, either in fact or by operation of law, by statute or otherwise, with respect to any services provided hereunder and that the services to be provided hereunder are furnished “as is,” “where is,” with all faults. Each Party specifically disclaims any other warranties, whether written or oral, or express or implied, including any warranty of quality, merchantability, or fitness for a particular use or purpose or non-infringement of any Intellectual Property rights of Third Parties.

(b) Nothing in this Services Agreement shall require a Provider to perform or cause to be performed any service to the extent the Provider reasonably believes such performance would constitute (i) a violation of applicable Laws or any code of conduct applicable to such Provider or (ii) a breach, violation or infringement of, or a default under, any existing Contract with a Third Party. If a Provider is or becomes aware of any such restriction on such Provider, such Provider shall promptly send a notice to its respective Recipient of any such restriction. The Parties each agree to cooperate in good faith and use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any necessary Third Party consents required under any existing Contract with a Third Party to allow each Provider to perform or cause to be performed any service in accordance with the standards set forth in this Section 5.1. Any costs and expenses incurred by any Party or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with obtaining any such Third Party consent that is required to allow a Provider to perform or cause to be performed any service shall be the responsibility of the respective Recipient. If, with respect to a service, the Parties, despite the use of such commercially reasonable efforts, are unable to obtain a required Third Party consent or the performance of such service by a Provider would continue to constitute a violation of applicable Laws or any code of conduct applicable to such Provider, such Provider shall use commercially reasonable efforts in good faith to provide such services in a manner as closely as possible to the standards described in this Section 5.1 that would apply absent the exception set forth in the first sentence of this Section 5.1(b).

(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Services Agreement to the contrary, a Provider shall have the right to limit any service in the event a Provider determines after prior consultation with the applicable Recipient, in such Provider’s reasonable discretion, that such service creates an unacceptable safety, liability or data security risk to such Provider or any of its Affiliates; provided that if a Provider does so limit the provision of such service, the applicable Recipient shall have no obligation to pay for any such service to the extent not rendered by such Provider. As of the Effective Date, the Parties are not actually aware of any risk described in this Section 5.1(c) that would have been reasonably expected to cause a Provider to limit a service pursuant to this Section 5.1(c).

(d) Nothing in this Services Agreement shall require a Provider to (i) render services in a manner or method different from the manner or method utilized by Providers in performing the services hereunder; (ii) make any change or addition that would require (to be determined in the Provider’s sole discretion) any expenditure of additional capital, any expansion or modification to facilities, or any acquisition of additional equipment or software, (iii) make any changes to a Provider’s applications to support a Recipient’s business processes or otherwise or (iv) make any efforts, in each case beyond commercially reasonable efforts, to provide the services hereunder.

5.2 Transition From Services. It is the express intent of the Parties and the members of their respective Groups that, notwithstanding the terms or schedules for performance of services hereunder, the performance of services are expected to be terminated as soon as possible. Consequently, unless the Parties mutually agree otherwise, each Recipient agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to reduce or eliminate its dependency on each service provided by each Provider as soon as reasonably practicable, but in any event before the end of the service Term for such service. The Parties will cooperate (acting in good faith and using reasonable commercial efforts) to effect a smooth and orderly transition of the services provided hereunder from the Providers to the respective Recipients.

5.3 Points of Contact. Each Provider and its respective Recipient has named a point of contact as set forth on Schedules A and B. Such points of contact shall be responsible for the implementation of this Services Agreement between the respective Provider and its Recipient, including resolution of any issues which may arise during the performance hereunder on a day to-day basis.

5.4 Personnel. Each Provider, in providing the services, as it deems necessary or appropriate in its sole discretion, may (a) use the personnel of such Provider or its Affiliates (it being understood that such personnel can perform the services on behalf of such Provider on a full-time or part-time basis, as determined by such Provider or its Affiliates) and (b) employ the services of Third Parties to the extent such third party services are routinely utilized to provide similar services to other businesses of such Provider or are reasonably necessary for the efficient performance of any such services. In performing the services, employees and representatives of a Provider shall be under the direction, control and supervision of such Provider (and not its respective Recipient) and such Provider shall have the sole right to exercise all authority with respect to the employment (including termination of employment), assignment and compensation of such employees and representatives (it being understood that no Recipient has any right hereunder to require that any Provider perform the services hereunder with specifically identified

employees and that the assignment of employees to perform such services shall be determined in the sole discretion of the applicable Provider). In addition, no Provider shall be required to provide any service to the extent the provision of such service requires such Provider to hire any additional employees or maintain the employment of any specific employee.

5.5 Further Assurances. From time to time after the date hereof, without further consideration, each Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all appropriate action, do or cause to be done all things reasonably necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Laws, and execute and deliver such documents as may be required or appropriate to carry out the provisions of this Services Agreement and to consummate, perform and make effective the transactions contemplated hereby.

5.6 Title to Intellectual Property. Except as expressly provided for under the terms of this Services Agreement, each Recipient acknowledges that it shall acquire no right, title or interest (including any license rights or rights of use) in any Intellectual Property which is owned, licensed or otherwise used by any Provider or any of their respective Affiliates or any Third Party, if applicable, by reason of the provision or receipt of the services provided hereunder. Each Recipient agrees not to remove or alter any copyright, trademark, confidentiality or other proprietary notices that appear on any Intellectual Property owned, licensed or used by any Provider or any of their respective Affiliates or any Third Party, if applicable, and each Recipient agrees to reproduce any such notices on any and all copies thereof. Each Recipient agrees not to attempt to decompile, translate, reverse engineer or disassemble any Intellectual Property owned, licensed or used by any Provider or their respective Affiliates or any Third Party, if applicable, and a Recipient shall promptly notify its respective Provider of any such attempt, including by any employee or representative of such Recipient or by any Third Party, of which such Recipient becomes aware.

5.7 Certain Disbursements/Receipts. The Parties hereto contemplate that, from time to time on or after the Effective Time, a member of a Party’s Group (any such member, the “Paying Party”), as a convenience to a member of the other Party’s Group (the “Responsible Party”), in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Services Agreement, may make certain payments that are properly the responsibility of the Responsible Party (any such payment made, a “Disbursement”). Similarly, from time to time on or after the Effective Time, a member of a Party’s Group (any such member, the “Receiving Party”) may receive from Third Parties certain payments to which a member of the other Party’s Group is entitled (the “Other Party”, and any such payment received, a “Receipt”). Accordingly, with respect to Disbursements and Receipts (each of which shall be subject to Section 3.4), the Parties hereto agree as follows.

(d) EACH PARTY, IN ITS CAPACITY AS A RECIPIENT, ACKNOWLEDGES (ON BEHALF OF ITSELF AND THE RECIPIENTS THAT ARE MEMBERS OF ITS GROUP) THAT (I) THE PROVIDERS ARE NOT COMMERCIAL PROVIDERS OF THE SERVICES PROVIDED HEREIN AND ARE PROVIDING THE SERVICES AS AN ACCOMMODATION AND AT A COST TO THE APPLICABLE RECIPIENT IN CONNECTION WITH THE SEPARATION AND (II) THIS SERVICES AGREEMENT IS NOT INTENDED BY THE PARTIES TO HAVE ANY APPLICABLE PROVIDER MANAGE AND OPERATE THE APERGY BUSINESS OR DOVER BUSINESS, AS APPLICABLE, IN LIEU OF THE APPLICABLE RECIPIENT.

Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements

(A)

Represents sales transactions, and related costs of goods and services, between Dover and Apergy that were previously eliminated in consolidation. The pro forma adjustments to cost of sales for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 also include the impact of removing certain amounts that were included in the Apergy stand-alone historical combined financial statements but were not included in Dover’s historical consolidated financial statements.

(B)

Represents adjustments to include corporate overhead costs that were previously allocated to Apergy each period that will remain with Dover continuing operations. Also represents adjustments to remove one-time spin costs incurred by Dover and reflected in its historical results for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and the year ended December 31, 2017 as they are not expected to have an ongoing impact to Dover’s continuing operations. Dover expects to incur and pay total one-time costs associated with the separation from Apergy, including legal and advisory costs, of approximately $60 million.

(C)

Represents an adjustment primarily to add back intercompany royalty expense included in Apergy’s stand-alone historical combined financial statements. This royalty expense was eliminated in Dover’s historical consolidated financial statements and will not have on ongoing impact to Dover’s continuing operations.

(D)	Represents the pro forma tax adjustments.

(E)

Represents the payment of $700.0 million from Apergy to Dover in connection with the Distribution from proceeds of third-party debt incurred by Apergy on the date of Distribution. Also represents adjustment to reflect Apergy’s expected cash balance on the date of Distribution and to reflect payments to be made by Dover immediately prior to the Distribution for certain tax liabilities as a result of the separation of Apergy from Dover.

(F)

Represents adjustments for assets and liabilities directly attributable to Apergy, including the receivable from Apergy for certain taxes imposed on Dover arising out of the separation and related transactions that Apergy will be responsible for under the Tax Matters Agreement between Apergy and Dover.

(G)	Represents the tax impact of the separation of Apergy from Dover.

(H)	Represents an adjustment to add back a portion of the goodwill reflected in Apergy’s stand-alone historical combined financial statements that remains with Dover as a result of the relative fair value allocation triggered by the separation of Apergy.

(I)

Represents the add back of Apergy’s net intangible assets related to intellectual property and patents which were recorded in Apergy’s stand-alone historical combined financial statements. These net intangible assets were not included in Dover’s historical consolidated financial statements and will not have on ongoing impact to Dover’s continuing operations.

UNAUDITED ADJUSTED EARNINGS FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONS

(In thousands, except per share amounts)

Non-GAAP Disclosures

In an effort to provide investors with additional information regarding our results as determined by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), Management also discloses non-GAAP information that Management believes provides useful information to investors. Adjusted net earnings and adjusted diluted earnings per common share are not financial measures under GAAP and should not be considered as a substitute for net earnings or diluted earnings per common share as determined in accordance with GAAP, and they may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Adjusted net earnings represents net earnings adjusted for the effect of the acquisition-related amortization, Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, gains on disposition of businesses, disposition costs, Apergy separation costs, rightsizing and other costs, and a product recall reserve reversal. We exclude these items because they occur for reasons that may be unrelated to the Company’s commercial performance during the period and/or Management believes they are not indicative of the Company’s ongoing operating costs or gains in a given period. Management believes this information is useful to investors to better understand the company’s ongoing profitability and facilitates easier comparisons of the Company’s profitability to prior and future periods and to its peers.

Adjusted diluted earnings per common share represents adjusted net earnings divided by average diluted shares. Beginning in 2018, adjusted net earnings further exclude after-tax acquisition-related amortization because the amount and timing of such charges are significantly impacted by the timing, size, number and nature of the acquisitions we consummate. Management believes excluding after-tax acquisition-related amortization will better reflect the Company’s core operating results, offer more transparency and facilitate easier comparability with peer companies.
