reasonable time after approval and availability of the Company’s final audited
financial statements for the Performance period.

	5.	 	Procedure
	 
	 	 	The Plan Administrator shall have full power, discretion and authority to administer and
interpret the Plan, including the calculation and verification of all Bonus Awards, and to
establish rules and procedures for its administration, as the Plan Administrator deems
necessary and appropriate. Any interpretation of the plan or other act of the Plan
Administrator in administering the Plan shall be final and binding on all Plan Participants.
No member of the Plan Administrator or the Board of Directors shall be liable for any
action, interpretation, or construction made in good faith with respect to the Plan. No
member of the Plan Administrator shall participate in the Plan. The Company shall indemnify,
to the fullest extent permitted by law, each member of the Board who becomes liable in any
civil action or proceeding with respect to decisions made relating to the Plan. The
President and Chief Executive Officer shall provide the Plan Administrator with a year-end
report of Participants in the Plan and their respective annual salaries and recommendations
for evaluative factor Bonus Awards for all participants other than himself, along with any
other information that the Plan Administrator may request. The Plan Administrator shall
determine any evaluative factor Bonus Award for the President and Chief Executive Officer.
	 
	 	 	A Plan Participant may be removed from the Plan, with no right to any Bonus Award under the
Plan, if it is determined in the discretion of the Plan Administrator that any of the
following have occurred:

	 	i.	 	Insubordination, misconduct, malfeasance, or any formal
disciplinary action taken by the Company during the performance year or prior to
payment.
	 
	 	ii.	 	Disability. Should a Participant not be actively at work for an
extended period of time due to an illness or injury, in such a way as to qualify
for long-term disability benefits, he/she may not receive a bonus.
	 
	 	iii.	 	Demotion. If a Plan Participant is removed from the Participant
group that made him or her eligible to Participant under the Plan at any time
during the Performance Period, then such employee shall be deemed to be
ineligible for participation in the Plan and shall not receive any Bonus Award
under the Plan.

	6.	 	Miscellaneous Provisions.
	 
	a)	 	Employment Rights. The Plan does not constitute a contract of employment and
participation in the Plan will not give a Participant the right to continue in the employ of
the Company on a full-time, part-time or other basis or alter their at-will employment
status. Participation in the Plan will not give any Participant any right or claim to any
benefit under the Plan, unless such right or claim has specifically been granted by
the Plan Administrator under the terms of the Plan.

	b)	 	Plan Administrator’s Final Decision. Any interpretation of the Plan and any decision on
any matter pertaining to the Plan that is made by the Plan Administrator in its discretion
in good faith shall be binding on all persons.
	 
	c)	 	Governing Law. Except to the extent superseded by the laws of the United States, the laws
of the State of Idaho, without regard to its conflicts of laws principles, shall govern in
all matters relating to the Plan.
	 
	d)	 	Interests Not Transferable. Any interest of Participants under the Plan may not be
voluntarily sold, transferred, alienated, assigned or encumbered, other than by will or
pursuant to the laws of descent and distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Plan
Participant dies during the Performance Period, or prior to payment of the Bonus Award, then
a pro rata portion of the Bonus Award earned by such deceased Participant shall be paid to
the deceased Participant’s beneficiary, as designated in writing by such Participant;
provided however, that if the deceased Participant has not designated a beneficiary then
such amount shall be payable to the deceased Participant’s estate.
	 
	e)	 	Severability. In the event any provision of the Plan shall be held to be illegal or
invalid for any reason, such illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining parts
of the Plan, and the Plan shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal or invalid
provisions had never been contained in the Plan.
	 
	f)	 	Withholding. The Company will withhold from any amounts payable under the Plan applicable
withholding including federal, state, city and local taxes, FICA and Medicare as shall be
legally required. Additionally, the Company will withhold from any amounts payable under the
Plan, the applicable contribution for the Participant’s 401(k) Savings and Retirement Plan
as defined in the 401(K) Plan description protected under ERISA.
	 
	g)	 	Effect on Other Plans or Agreements. Payments or benefits provided to a Plan Participant

TO THE

FLOWSERVE CORPORATION DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN

AS AMENDED AND RESTATED EFFECTIVE JUNE 1, 2000

     WHEREAS, Flowserve Corporation (“Flowserve”) maintains the Flowserve Corporation Deferred
Compensation Plan, as amended and restated effective June 1, 2000 (the “Plan”);

     WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Plan, Flowserve may amend the Plan; and

     WHEREAS, Flowserve wishes to amend the Plan, effective as of January 1, 2008 and as otherwise
specified herein, to reflect the termination of the Plan with respect to future Participation
Agreements effective as of May 16, 2007 in accordance with Section 9.02 of the Plan, and to comply
with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

     NOW, THEREFORE, the Plan is hereby amended as follows:

     1. Article I is amended by adding the following paragraph to the end thereof:

Effective as of the close of business on May 15, 2007, (i) no executive of the Company who
was not a Participant on May 15, 2007 shall be eligible to become a Participant in the Plan,
and (ii) no Participation Agreement may be entered into by any executive or Participant to
permit the deferral under the Plan of any Eligible Compensation earned by such executive or
Participant after December 31, 2007. Effective as of December 19, 2007, and notwithstanding
any provision of a Participation Agreement or the Plan to the contrary, to the extent any
Deferred Amounts consist of Incentive Compensation earned by any executive or Participant in
2007, such Deferred Amounts shall have a Deferral Period ending on March 1, 2008 and be paid
in a lump sum on such date. Earnings and losses based on the Hypothetical Investment
Benchmarks as provided herein shall continue to apply after December 31, 2007 to amounts
credited to Participant’s Deferral Accounts, and all other provisions of the Plan, except as
otherwise provided herein, shall continue to apply to the Deferral Accounts under this Plan.

     2. Section 2.06 is amended by deleting such Section in its entirety and substituting the
following in lieu thereof:

SECTION 2.06 CORPORATE TAKEOVER. For purposes of this Plan, a “Corporate Takeover” shall be
deemed to have occurred upon any of the following:

	 	(a)	 	On the date any “Person” (as defined in subparagraph (e) below) acquires (or
has acquired during the 12 (twelve)-month period ending on the date of the most recent
acquisition by such Person) ownership of stock of the Company possessing 30% (thirty
percent) or more of the total voting power of the stock of the Company (the “Voting
Stock”); other than an acquisition (i) directly from the Company; (ii) by the Company
or any corporation, partnership, trust or other
entity controlled by the Company (a “Subsidiary”); (iii) any acquisition by any

 

 

	 	 	 	employee benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored or maintained by the Company or
any Subsidiary; (iv) any acquisition by any corporation pursuant to a
reorganization, merger or consolidation, if, following such reorganization, merger
or consolidation, the conditions described in subparagraph (c)(i) and (ii) are
satisfied; or (v) by any Person who is considered to own stock of the Company
constituting 30% (thirty percent) or more of the Voting Stock immediately prior to
such additional acquisition. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Corporate Takeover
shall not be deemed to occur solely because any Person (the “Subject Person”)
acquired ownership of stock of the Company possessing 30% (thirty percent) or more
of the Voting Stock as a result of the acquisition of the Voting Stock, which, by
reducing the number of shares of Voting Stock, increases the proportional number of
 shares owned by the Subject Person; provided, however, that if following such
acquisition of shares of Voting Stock by the Company, the Subject Person acquires
additional Voting Stock which increases the percentage ownership of the Subject
Person to an amount that would constitute 30% (thirty percent) of the then
outstanding Voting Stock (excluding any shares of Voting Stock previously acquired
by the Company), then a Corporate Takeover shall then be deemed to have occurred; or
	 
	 	(b)	 	On the date a majority of members of the Board is replaced during any 12
(twelve)-month period by directors whose appointment or election is not endorsed by a
majority of the Board before the date of the appointment or election; provided,
however, that any such director shall not be considered to be endorsed by the Board if
his or her initial assumption of office occurs as a result of either an actual or
threatened election contest or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or
consents by or on behalf of a Person other than the Board, including by reason of
agreement intended to avoid or settle any such actual or threatened contest or
solicitation; or
	 
	 	(c)	 	On the date of consummation of a reorganization, merger, or consolidation, in
each case, immediately following which a Person owns stock of the Company that,
together with stock held by such Person prior to such reorganization, merger or
consolidation, constitutes more than 50% (fifty percent) of the total fair market value
of the Company; unless, following such reorganization, merger or consolidation: (i)
more than 50% (fifty percent) of the then outstanding Voting Stock is owned, directly
or indirectly, by all or substantially all of the individuals and entities who were the
owners of the Voting Stock immediately prior to such reorganization, merger or
consolidation, in substantially the same proportions as their ownership immediately
prior to such reorganization, merger or consolidation; or (ii) (A) officers of the
Company as of the effective date of such reorganization, merger or consolidation
constitute at least 3/4 (three-quarters) of the officers of the ultimate parent
company of the corporation resulting from such reorganization, merger or consolidation;
(B) elected members of the Board as of the effective date of such reorganization,
merger or consolidation constitute at least 3/4  (three quarters) of the board of
directors of the ultimate parent company
of the corporation resulting from such reorganization, merger or consolidation; and

- 2 -

 

	 	(C)	 	the positions of Chairman of the board of directors, the Chief Executive Officer
and the President of the corporation resulting from such reorganization, merger or
consolidation are held by individuals with the same positions at the Company as of
the effective date of such reorganization, merger or consolidation.
	 
	 	(d)	 	On the date any Person acquires (or has acquired during the 12 (twelve)-month
period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition by such Person) assets from
the Company that have a total gross fair market value equal to or more than 50% (fifty
percent) of the total gross fair market value of all of the assets of the Company
immediately before such acquisition or acquisitions, unless such assets have been
acquired by a corporation with respect to which, following such acquisition, (i) more
than 50% (fifty percent) of, respectively, the then outstanding shares of stock of such
corporation and the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting stock of such
corporation (or any parent thereof) entitled to vote generally in the election of
directors is then owned, directly or indirectly, by all or substantially all of the
individuals and entities who were the owners, respectively, of outstanding stock of the
Company and the Voting Stock immediate prior to such acquisition, in substantially the
same proportions as their ownership immediately prior to such acquisition; (ii) no
Person (excluding the Company and any employee benefit plan (or related trust) of the
Company or a Subsidiary or any Person owning immediately prior to such acquisition,
directly or indirectly, 20% (twenty percent) or more of all of the outstanding shares
of stock of the Company or the Voting Stock, owns, directly or indirectly, 20% (twenty
percent) or more of all of the then outstanding stock of such corporation or the
combined voting power of the then outstanding voting stock of such corporation (or any
parent thereof) entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, and (iii) at
least 2/3 (two-thirds) of the members of the board of directors of such corporation (or
any parent thereof) were members of the Company’s Board at the time of the execution of
the initial agreement or action of the Board providing for such acquisition of the
Company’s assets. For purposes of this subparagraph (d), gross fair market value means
the value of the assets of the Company or the value of the assets being disposed of,
determined without regard to any liabilities associated with such assets.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Corporate Takeover shall be deemed to occur when
there is such a sale or transfer to (i) a shareholder of the Company (immediately
before the asset transfer) in exchange for or with respect to the Company’s then
outstanding stock; (ii) an entity, at least 50% (fifty percent) of the total value or
voting power of the stock of which is owned, directly or indirectly, by the Company;
(iii) a Person that owns directly or indirectly, at least 50% (fifty percent) of the
total value or voting power of the outstanding stock of the Company; or (iv) an entity,
at least 50% (fifty percent) of the total value or voting power of the stock of which
is owned, directly or indirectly, by a Person that owns, directly or indirectly, at
least 50% (fifty percent) of the total value or voting power of the outstanding stock
of the Company. For purposes of the foregoing, a Person’s status is determined
immediately after the asset transfer.

(a) unable to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically

notwithstanding any provision of a Participation Agreement or the Plan to the contrary, to
the extent any Deferred Amounts consist of Incentive Compensation earned by any executive or
Participant in 2007, such Deferred Amounts shall have a Deferral Period ending on March 1,
2008 and be paid in a lump sum on such date.

     5. Section 2.25 is amended by deleting such Section in its entirety and substituting the

other than by reason of death or Disability, as determined by the Administrative Committee
in accordance with Treas. Reg. §1.409A-1(h). In

- 4 -

 

determining whether a Participant has experienced a Separation from Service, the following
provisions shall apply:

	 	(a)	 	For a Participant who provides services to the Company as an employee, a
Separation from Service shall occur when such Participant has experienced a termination
of employment with the Company. A Participant shall be considered to have experienced
a termination of employment when the facts and circumstances indicate that the
Participant and the Company reasonably anticipate that either (i) no further services
will be performed for the Company after a certain date, or (ii) that the level of bona
fide services the Participant will perform for the Company after such date (whether as
an employee or as an independent contractor) will permanently decrease to no more than

	 	(b)	 	If a Participant is on military leave, sick leave, or other bona fide leave of
absence, the employment relationship between the Participant and the Company shall be
treated as continuing intact, provided that the period of such leave does not exceed 6
(six) months, or if longer, so long as the Participant retains a right to reemployment
with the Company under an applicable statute or by contract. If the period of a
military leave, sick leave, or other bona fide leave of absence exceeds 6 (six) months
and the Participant does not retain a right to reemployment under an applicable statute
or by contract, the employment relationship shall be considered to be terminated for
purposes of this Plan as of the first day immediately following the end of such 6
(six)-month period. In applying the provisions of this paragraph, a leave of absence
shall be considered a bona fide leave of absence only if there is a reasonable
expectation that the Participant will return to perform services for the Company.

following in lieu thereof:

SECTION 2.27 SPECIFIED EMPLOYEE. “Specified Employee” shall mean any Participant who is

	 	(a)	 	The Administrative Committee’s identification of the individuals who fall
within the definition of “key employee” under Code Section 416(i) (without regard to
paragraph (5) thereof) shall be based upon the 12 (twelve) -month period ending on each
December 31st (referred to below as the “identification date”). In

- 5 -

 

	 	 	 	applying the applicable provisions of Code Section 416(i) to identify such

purposes of this Plan if such Participant experiences a Separation from Service during
the 12 (twelve)-month period that begins on the April 1st following the applicable
identification date.

     8. Section 2.28 is amended by deleting such Section in its entirety and substituting the
following in lieu thereof:

9. Section 3.02 is amended by deleting such Section in its entirety and substituting the
following in lieu thereof:

SECTION 3.02 CLAIM PROCEDURE. If a Participant or Beneficiary makes a written request
alleging a right to receive payments under this Plan or alleging a right to receive an
adjustment in benefits being paid under this Plan, such actions shall be treated as a claim
for benefits. All claims for benefits under this Plan shall be sent to the Administrative
Committee. If the Administrative Committee determines that any individual who has claimed a
right to receive benefits, or different benefits, under this Plan is not entitled to receive
all or any part of the benefits claimed, the Administrative Committee shall inform the
claimant in writing of such determination and the reasons therefore in terms calculated to
be understood by the claimant. The notice shall be sent within 90 days of the claim unless
the Administrative Committee determines that additional time, not exceeding 90 days, is
needed and so notifies the Participant. The notice shall make specific reference to the
pertinent Plan provisions on which the denial is based, and shall describe any additional
material or information that is necessary. Such notice shall, in addition, inform the
claimant of the procedure that the claimant must follow to take advantage of the review
procedures set forth below in the event the claimant desires to contest the denial of the
claim. If the claimant desires to contest the denial of a claim, the claimant must, within
90 days thereafter, submit in writing to the

- 6 -

 

Administrative Committee a notice that the claimant contests the denial of his or her claim
and desires a further review by the Pension and Investment Committee. The Pension and
Investment Committee shall within 60 days thereafter review the claim and authorize the
claimant to review pertinent documents and submit issues and comments relating to the claim

but no later than 60 (sixty) days, after the end of the Deferral Period and each subsequent
installment shall be paid on, but no later than 60 (sixty) days after, the anniversary of
such first payment. Each such installment shall be deemed to be made on a pro rata basis

accordance with the Plan and as elected in the Participation Agreement.

SECTION 7.03 IN-SERVICE DISTRIBUTIONS. Subject to Sections 7.01, 7.04, 7.05, and 7.06

or a lump sum in accordance with the Plan and as elected in the Participation Agreement upon
completion of such stated number of years, provided not earlier distributed in accordance

any Participation Agreement, a Participant shall be entitled to early payment of all or part
of the balance in his/her Deferral Account(s) in the event of an Unforeseeable Emergency, in
accordance with this Section 7.05. Whether a Participant is faced with an Unforeseeable
Emergency under the Plan is to be determined based on the relevant facts and circumstances
of each case, but in any case, a withdrawal on account of Unforeseeable Emergency may not be
made to the extent that such emergency is or may be relieved (a) through reimbursement or
compensation from insurance or otherwise, (b) by liquidation of the Participant’s assets, to
the extent the liquidation of such assets would not cause severe financial hardship, or (c)
by cessation of deferrals under the Plan.

Withdrawal because of an Unforeseeable Emergency must be limited to the amount reasonably
necessary to satisfy the emergency need (which may include amounts necessary to pay any
federal, state, local, or foreign income taxes or penalties reasonably anticipated to result
from the distribution), as determined by the Administrative Committee, in its sole
discretion. The Participant must apply in writing for a payment upon an Unforeseeable
Emergency, using the form prescribed by the Administrative Committee. The Administrative
Committee retains the sole and absolute discretion to grant or deny a payment upon an
Unforeseeable Emergency. In the event of approval of a payment upon an Unforeseeable
Emergency, the Participant’s outstanding deferral elections under the Plan shall be
cancelled.

during a Plan Year, when combined with such Participant’s other remuneration by the Company
for such Plan Year, exceeds the amount that would be deductible by the Company for federal
income tax purposes by reason of Section 162(m) of the Code, then the amount of such
