FLOWSERVE CORPORATION

AMENDED AND RESTATED OFFICER SEVERANCE PLAN

Article I

Introduction

     Flowserve Corporation (the “Company”) established and adopted the Flowserve Corporation
Officer Severance Plan (the “Plan”), effective as of January 1, 2007, to provide financial and
transitional assistance to Eligible Officers who separate from the Company or an Affiliate due to a
Reduction-in-Force or due to a termination of employment without Cause (as defined herein) in order
to assure the Company of the continued attention and dedication to duty of Eligible Officers and to
ensure the continued availability of service by Eligible Officers during periods of work force
reduction or reorganization. The Company hereby amends and restates the Plan as set forth herein
effective as of January 1, 2009 (the “Effective Date”). This Plan is intended to constitute an
“employee welfare benefit plan,” as defined in Section 3(1) of the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974, as amended.

     Except as otherwise provided below, as of the Effective Date, the Plan replaces any and all
severance pay plans, policies, practices, arrangements or programs, written or unwritten, that the
Company may have had in effect for its Eligible Officers from time to time prior to the Effective
Date; any Eligible Officer whose employment is terminated on or after the Effective Date shall not
be entitled to any severance benefits other than those set forth herein. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, nothing in this Plan shall adversely affect the rights an individual Eligible Officer
may have to severance payments under the Flowserve Corporation Executive Officer Change in Control
Severance Plan (or any successor plan thereto) (the “CIC Plan”) or any written agreement executed
by and between the Employer and that Eligible Officer (a “Severance Agreement”), including, without
limitation, any Restrictive Covenant Agreement by and between the Company and an Eligible Officer;
provided, however, that in the event any Eligible Officer that is a party to a Severance Agreement
or who is eligible for benefits under the CIC Plan suffers a termination of employment and is
entitled to and is receiving the severance benefits intended to be provided under his or her
Severance Agreement or the CIC Plan, such Eligible Officer shall not be entitled to receive
severance benefits pursuant to this Plan, unless such Eligible Officer is entitled to severance
benefits pursuant to a Restrictive Covenant Agreement, in which case, such Eligible Officer shall
receive benefits under such agreement first, and then shall be eligible for benefits under this
Plan to the extent such benefits are not duplicative of the benefits previously paid pursuant to
such agreement, with the maximum severance benefits payable to such Eligible Officer under both the
Plan and such agreement equal to the maximum aggregate benefit payable to such Eligible Officer
under this Plan.

Article II

Definitions

     The words used in this Plan shall have the respective meanings set forth below unless the
context clearly indicates otherwise. Except as otherwise indicated by the context, any masculine
terminology used herein also includes the feminine and vice versa, and the definition of any term
herein in the singular shall also include the plural, and vice versa.

     Section 2.1 Administrator means the Senior Vice President, Human Resources, or, if the
claim for benefits hereunder affects the Senior Vice President, Human Resources, such entity or
individual as may be designated by the Organization and Compensation Committee.

 

 

     Section 2.2 Affiliate means any Subsidiary or Parent of the Company that has been
designated to participate in the Plan by the Administrator, and has adopted the Plan pursuant to
Article V hereof.

     Section 2.3 Appeals Administrator means the Chief Executive Officer of the Company,
or, if the claim for benefits hereunder affects the Chief Executive Officer, such entity or
individual as may be designated by the Organization and Compensation Committee.

     Section 2.4 Cause means: (a) the willful and continued failure by an Eligible Officer
to substantially perform his or her duties with the Company (other than any such failure resulting
from incapacity due to physical or mental illness), after a written demand for substantial
performance is delivered to the Eligible Officer by the Company’s board of directors (the
“Board”) which specifically identifies the manner in which the Board believes that he or
she has not substantially performed his or her duties; or (b) the willful engaging by an Eligible
Officer in conduct materially and demonstrably injurious to the Company, monetarily or otherwise;
provided, however, that if the Eligible Officer has entered into an employment agreement that is
binding as of the date of the event or action otherwise determined to be “Cause,” and if such
employment agreement defines “Cause,” such definition of “Cause” shall apply. No act, or failure
to act, shall be considered “willful” if, in the Eligible Officer’s sole judgment, the action or
omission was done, or omitted to be done, in good faith and with a reasonable belief that his or
her action or omission was in the best interest of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Eligible Officer shall not be deemed to have terminated for Cause unless and until there shall have
been delivered to him a copy of a resolution duly adopted by the affirmative vote of not less than
three-quarters (3/4) of the entire authorized membership of the Board, at a meeting of the Board,
called and held for the purpose (after reasonable notice to the Eligible Officer and an opportunity
for the Eligible Officer, together with counsel, to be heard before the Board), finding that in the
good faith opinion of the Board the Eligible Officer was guilty of conduct set forth above in
clause (a) or (b) of this Section 2.3, and specifying the particulars thereof in detail.

     Section 2.5 Code means the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

     Section 2.6 Company means Flowserve Corporation.

     Section 2.7 Disability means a long-term disability as defined in and meeting the
terms and conditions of the appropriate plan of the Company that provides long-term disability
benefits to the Company’s eligible employees (or, as set forth in any successor plans), as
applicable to the Eligible Officer, or, if no long-term disability plan is in place or is
applicable to the Eligible Officer, a physical or mental condition resulting from bodily injury,
disease, or mental disorder which prevents the Eligible Officer from performing his or her duties
of employment for a period of six (6) continuous months, as determined in good faith by the
Administrator, based upon medical reports or other evidence satisfactory to the Administrator.

     Section 2.8 Eligible Officer means an Officer who:

     (a) is terminated by the Company or an Affiliate in connection with a
Reduction-in-Force, or

     (b) is terminated by the Company or an Affiliate without Cause.

     Section 2.9 ERISA means the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as
amended.

     Section 2.11 Organization and Compensation Committee means the committee designated by
the Board of Directors.

     Section 2.12 Parent means an entity which directly or indirectly holds a majority of
the voting power or profits or capital interest of the Company.

with the Company or an Affiliate because of a work force reduction, restructuring, or other cost
containment or business decision as designated by the Administrator, in its sole and absolute
discretion, from time to time.

     Section 2.15 Retirement means the termination of an Eligible Officer’s employment for
any reason other than for Cause, due to the Participant’s death or Disability, or due to a
Reduction-in-Force, or on or after the earlier of (i) the Eligible Officer’s Early Retirement Date
(as such term is defined within the retirement plan in effect and in which such Eligible Officer
participates on the date of the Eligible Officer’s termination); or (ii) the Eligible Officer
attaining the normal retirement date (as such term is defined within the retirement plan in effect
and in which such Eligible Officer participates on the date of the Eligible Officer’s termination,
or if no such plan is in effect, age 65).

     Section 2.16 Separation from Service means a termination of services provided by an
Eligible Officer to the Company whether voluntarily or involuntarily, other than for death or
Disability, as determined by the Administrator in accordance with Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-1(h). In
determining whether an Eligible Officer has experienced a Separation from Service, the following
provisions shall apply:

     (a) A Separation from Service shall occur when such Eligible Officer has experienced a
termination of employment with the Company. An Eligible Officer shall be considered to have
experienced a termination of employment when the facts and circumstances indicate that the
Eligible Officer 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 Eligible Officer will perform for the Company after such date (whether as an
employee or as an independent contractor) will permanently decrease to no more than twenty
percent (20%) of the average level of bona fide services performed by such Eligible Officer
(whether as an employee or an independent contractor) over the immediately preceding
thirty-six (36) month period (or the full period of services to the Company if the Eligible
Officer has been providing services to the Company less than thirty-six (36) months).

     (b) If an Eligible Officer is on military leave, sick leave, or other bona fide leave
of absence, the employment relationship between the Eligible Officer and the Company shall
be treated as continuing intact, provided that the period of such leave does not exceed six
(6) months, or if longer, so long as the Eligible Officer 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 six (6) months and the
Eligible Officer 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 six (6) month period.
In applying the provisions of this

3

 

Section 2.16, a leave of absence shall be considered a
bona fide leave of absence only if there is a reasonable expectation that the Eligible
Officer will return to perform services for the Company.

     Section 2.17 Severance Benefit means a benefit to which an Eligible Officer may become
entitled pursuant to Article III hereof.

     Section 2.18 Specified Employee means any Eligible Officer who is determined to be a
“key employee” (as defined under Section 416(i) of the Code without regard to paragraph (5)
thereof) for the applicable period, as determined annually by the Administrator in accordance with
Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-1(i). In determining whether an Eligible Officer is a Specified Employee, the
following provisions shall apply:

     (a) The Administrator’s identification of the individuals who fall within the
definition of “key employee” under Section 416(i) of the Code (without regard to paragraph
(5) thereof) shall be based upon the twelve (12) month period ending on each December 31st
(referred to below as the “identification date”). In applying the applicable provisions of
Section 416(i) of the Code to identify such individuals, “compensation” shall be determined
in accordance with Treas. Reg. § 1.415(c)-2(a) without regard to (i) any safe harbor
provided in Treas. Reg. § 1.415(c)-2(d), (ii) any of the special timing rules provided in
Treas. Reg. § 1.415(c)-2(e), and (iii) any of the special rules provided in Treas. Reg. §
1.415(c)-2(g); and

     (b) Each Eligible Officer who is among the individuals identified as a “key employee”
in accordance with part (a) of this Section 2.18 shall be treated as a Specified Employee
for purposes of this Plan if such Eligible Officer experiences a Separation from Service
during the twelve (12) month period that begins on the April 1st following the applicable
identification date.

     Section 2.19 Subsidiary means any entity in which the Company, directly or indirectly,
holds a majority of the voting power or profits or capital interest of such entity.

Article III

Severance Benefits

     Section 3.1 Eligibility for Severance Benefits.

     (a) An Eligible Officer shall be entitled to receive a Severance Benefit in accordance
with this Article III only if the Administrator, in its reasonable discretion, determines
that:

     (i) the Eligible Officer’s employment with the Company or an Affiliate has been
involuntarily terminated as the result of a Reduction-in-Force or without Cause.
For purposes of clarity, an Eligible Officer shall be entitled to receive a
Severance Benefit only if such termination constitutes an involuntary Separation
from Service.

     (ii) the Severance Benefit described herein is not otherwise duplicative of
payments already owed to the Eligible Officer under an employment, pre-existing
retention, severance, change-in-control, or other special compensation agreement or
pursuant to any applicable laws.

     (iii) the Eligible Officer has not otherwise received and accepted an offer of
employment with (A) the Company, (B) an Affiliate, (C) another company providing

4

 

services to the Company or an Affiliate, or (D) any other company that entered into
an agreement with the Company or an Affiliate to purchase, acquire, or transfer the
stock or assets of the Company, an Affiliate, or a group, function or part of the
Company or an Affiliate.

     (iv) the Eligible Officer has not otherwise declined an offer of employment,
the terms of which would have permitted the Eligible Officer to continue employment
within fifty (50) miles of the location in which the Eligible Officer performed
substantially all of his or her services immediately prior to the
Reduction-in-Force, with (A) the Company, (B) an Affiliate, (C) another company
providing services to the Company or an Affiliate, or (D) any other company that
entered into an agreement with the Company or an Affiliate to purchase, acquire, or
transfer the stock or assets of the Company, an Affiliate, or a group, function or
part of the Company or an Affiliate.

     (v) the Eligible Officer has not terminated from the Company or an Affiliate
for any of the following reasons:

     (A) death,

     (B) Disability,

     (C) resignation,

     (D) Retirement, or

     (E) discharge for Cause.

     (vi) the Eligible Officer continues to comply with the provisions of any
written agreement in effect between the Eligible Officer and the Company (or any of
its Affiliates) that contains non-competition, confidentiality and/or
non-solicitation provisions, including, without limitation, the terms and conditions
of any Restrictive Covenant Agreement by and between the Company and the Eligible
Officer.

     (vii) the Eligible Officer has executed and timely provided a release and
covenant not to sue in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Company.

     (b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if an Eligible Officer has
otherwise satisfied the criteria described in Section 3.1(a) above and is rehired by the
Company or an Affiliate, such Eligible Officer’s entitlement to further Severance Benefit
payments shall cease
immediately, unless the Administrator, in its sole and absolute discretion, determines
that the relationship between the former Eligible Officer and the Company or Affiliate for
whom services are being provided constitutes a non-employee consulting relationship and that
continued payment of such benefits is permitted by applicable law without adverse
consequences to either the Company or the Eligible Officer, including, without limitation,
Section 409Aof the Code, as determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion.
Regardless of the nature of a former Eligible Officer’s relationship with the Company or
Affiliate, if such former Eligible Officer provides services to or for the Company or an
Affiliate following a Reduction-in-Force, such former Eligible Officer shall not be
obligated to repay any Severance Benefits that have been paid pursuant to this Plan.

5

 

     Section 3.2 Salary Continuation.

     (a) Salary continuation benefits paid to an Eligible Officer who has satisfied the
applicable requirements reflected in Section 3.1 above shall be based upon the amounts
determined under Section 3.2(b) below and shall continue until the earlier of:

     (i) the date that is twenty-four (24) months following the Eligible Officer’s
termination of employment, or

     (ii) the date the Eligible Officer fails to comply with the provisions of any
written agreement in effect between the Eligible Officer and the Company (or any of
its Affiliates) that contains non-competition, confidentiality and/or
non-solicitation provisions, including, without limitation, the terms and conditions
of any Restrictive Covenant Agreement by and between the Company and the Eligible
Officer.

     (b) The amount of each salary continuation benefit payment that shall be paid to an
Eligible Officer during the applicable salary continuation period described in Section
3.2(a) above, shall be calculated by the Administrator, in its sole and absolute discretion,
by dividing the Eligible Officer’s annual base salary (excluding all bonuses and financial
perquisites) immediately prior to the Eligible Officer’s termination of employment by the
number of regularly scheduled paydays on which the Eligible Officer would have otherwise
been paid during the year if a termination of employment had not occurred; provided,
however, that if an Eligible Officer is on an approved short-term disability leave or on
designated leave pursuant to the Family and Medical Leave Act or other similar law, such
Eligible Officer’s salary continuation benefits shall be based upon the Eligible Officer’s
salary immediately preceding the inception of the leave.

     (c) Salary continuation benefits shall commence on the date that would have otherwise
been the Eligible Officer’s next regularly scheduled payday following the later of (i) the
Eligible Officer’s termination of employment or (ii) the expiration of the revocation period
provided in the release executed by the Eligible Officer in connection with this Plan.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Eligible Officer is a Specified Employee, to the
extent any amount payable pursuant to this Section 3.2 is subject to, and not otherwise
exempt from the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, no payment of such amount shall be
made before the first day after the end of the six (6) month period immediately following
the date on which the Eligible Officer experiences a Separation from Service, or if earlier,
on the date of the Eligible Officer’s death.

     (d) Notwithstanding anything in Section 3.2(b) above to the contrary, to the extent an
Eligible Officer is on an approved short-term disability leave or on designated leave
pursuant to the Family and Medical Leave Act or other similar law, such Eligible Officer’s
salary
continuation benefits shall be based upon the Eligible Officer’s salary or regular
hourly wage immediately preceding the inception of the leave.

     (e) Each amount that is paid to an Eligible Officer pursuant to this Section 3.2 shall
be treated as a separate payment for purposes of Section 409A of the Code.

     Section 3.3 Annual Incentive Plan Bonus.

     (a) In addition to the salary continuation benefit described in Section 3.2 above, each
Eligible Officer who is terminated by the Company or an Affiliate in connection with a
Reduction-in-Force or without Cause shall be entitled to receive a lump-sum payment

6

 

substantially equivalent to the annual incentive payment such Eligible Officer would have
otherwise received under the Company’s annual incentive plan if (i) the Company satisfied
the targeted performance results established under the Flowserve Corporation annual
incentive plan for the performance period in which the Eligible Officer’s termination of
employment occurs, and (ii) the Eligible Officer had been employed at the end of such
performance period and otherwise eligible for a payment under the Company’s annual incentive
plan.

     (b) Payment of annual target incentive payments described in Section 3.3(a) above,
shall be made at the same time as payments are made under the Company’s annual incentive
plan; provided, however, if the Eligible Officer is a Specified Employee, to the extent any
amount payable pursuant to this Section 3.3 is subject to, and not otherwise exempt from the
requirements of Section 409A of the Code, no payment of such amount shall be made before the
first day after the end of the six (6) month period immediately following the date on which
the Eligible Officer experiences a Separation from Service, or if earlier, on the date of
the Eligible Officer’s death.

Article IV

Claims Procedures

     Section 4.1 Initial Claim. If an individual makes a written request alleging a right
to receive benefits under this Plan or alleging a right to receive an adjustment in benefits being
paid under the Plan, the Administrator shall treat it as a claim for benefits. All claims for
benefits under the Plan shall be sent in writing to the Administrator and must be received within
thirty (30) days after the effective date of the Eligible Officer’s termination of employment. If
the Administrator, in its sole and absolute discretion, determines that a claimant is not entitled
to receive all or any part of the benefits claimed, the Administrator will inform the claimant in
writing of its determination and an explanation regarding the reason for its determination.

     Section 4.2 Initial Claim Determination.

     (a) Once the Administrator makes a determination regarding a claim, the Administrator
will send, by means of the U.S. mail, hand delivery or e-mail, a written notice providing:

     (i) the Administrator’s determination,

     (ii) the basis for the determination (along with appropriate references to
pertinent provisions on which the denial is based),

     (iii) a description of any additional material or information necessary to
perfect the claim and an explanation of why such material is necessary, and

     (iv) the procedure that must be followed to obtain a review of the
determination, including a description of the appeals procedure and how to bring a
civil action for benefits under section 502(a) of ERISA.

     (b) The initial claim determination notice described above will be provided within a
reasonable period of time, but no later than 90 days from the day the Administrator received
the claim, unless grounds for an extension (reflected in Section 4.2(c) below) exist.

7

 

     (c) Grounds for an extension may arise in certain instances when the Administrator, for
reasons beyond its control, cannot make a determination within the initial 90-day period.
In such situations, the Administrator, acting in its sole and absolute discretion, may
extend the initial 90-day period for up to an additional 90 days (for a total of 180 days);
provided the Administrator:

     (i) determines that an extension is necessary due to matters beyond its
control, and

     (ii) provides the claimant with written notice (which may be communicated by
mail, hand delivery, or e-mail) prior to the expiration of the initial determination
period that:

     (A) an extension is necessary,

     (B) the reason for the extension, and

     (C) when a determination is expected to be rendered.

     Section 4.3 Appeal of a Denied Claim.

     (a) If a claim for benefits is denied, either in whole or in part, and the claimant
wants to contest such denial, the claimant must appeal the Administrator’s denial by
requesting a review of the claim by the Appeals Administrator. A claimant has the following
rights if a claim for benefits is denied (whether in whole or in part):

     (i) an opportunity to request an appeal,

     (ii) the ability to submit written comments, documents, records and other
information in connection with the appeal, and

     (iii) reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents, records, and other
information relevant to the denied claim at no charge.

     (b) If a claimant chooses to file an appeal of a claim that was denied in whole or in
part, the request for review must be received within 60 days of the date in which the
claimant received notice from the Administrator indicating that the initial claim was
denied.

     (c) The review of an initial adverse determination by the Appeals Administrator will
take into account all comments, documents, records and other information that has been
submitted, without regard to whether such information was submitted and considered by the
Administrator in the initial determination.

     (d) In reviewing appeals, no deference will be given to an initial adverse benefit
determination by the Administrator, and the review itself will be conducted by an
appropriate named fiduciary who is neither the individual who made the adverse benefit
determination that is the subject of the appeal nor the subordinate of such individual.

     (e) If, following an appeal, a claim is denied, either in whole or in part, after a
review of the appeal and any additional information that a claimant has submitted, a notice
containing the following information (which will be provided in writing by U.S. mail, hand

8

 

delivery, or e-mail) will be provided within a reasonable period of time, but not later than
sixty (60) days from the date that a request for a review was received, unless grounds for
an extension reflected in Section 4.3(f) below exist:

     (i) the specific reason or reasons for the decision, including any adverse
determinations,

     (ii) references to the specific provisions on which the determination was
based,

     (iii) a statement describing how to request reasonable access to, and copies
of, all documents, records, and other information that is relevant to the denied
claim (free of charge),

     (iv) a description of any voluntary appeals procedure, if any, and how to
obtain information about such procedure, and

     (v) the ability to bring a cause of action for benefits under section 502(a) of
ERISA.

     (f) Grounds for an extension may arise in certain instances when, due to events beyond
the Appeals Administrator’s control, a decision cannot be made within the initial 60-day
period. In such situations, the initial 60-day period may be extended for up to an
additional 60 days (for a total of 120 days); provided:

     (i) a determination is made that an extension is necessary due to matters
beyond the Appeals Administrator’s control, and

     (ii) the claimant is provided with written notice (which may be communicated by
mail, hand delivery, or e-mail) prior to the expiration of the initial determination
period that:

     (A) an extension is necessary,

     (B) the reason for the extension, and

     (C) when a determination is expected to be rendered.

Article V

Adoption of the Plan by Affiliates

     This Plan may be adopted by any Affiliate of the Company if the Organization and Compensation
Committee or its delegate approves such adoption. Upon such adoption, the provisions of the Plan
shall be fully applicable to the Eligible Officers of that Affiliate. At any time that an
Affiliate ceases to qualify as an Affiliate, it shall no longer be eligible to participate
hereunder and any Eligible Officers in its employ shall no longer be eligible to receive benefits
under this Plan.

9

 

Article VI

Duration, Amendment and Termination

     Section 6.1 Duration. This Plan shall continue in full force and effect from the
Effective Date until December 31, 2011 unless extended or earlier terminated by action of the
Organization and Compensation Committee or its delegate.

     Section 6.2 Termination and Amendment. Although the Company hopes and expects to
continue the Plan for a five (5) year period, the Plan may be amended, changed, replaced, extended
or terminated by the Organization and Compensation Committee or its delegate at any time, in its
sole and absolute discretion. The Organization and Compensation Committee or its delegate shall
have full authority to amend any provision of the Plan to reduce, eliminate or alter benefits
payable hereunder, or to alter, in any way, the criteria for eligibility to participate herein.

     Section 6.3 Form of Amendment. The form of any Amendment of the Plan shall be a
written instrument signed by any person authorized to sign by the Organization and Compensation
Committee or its delegate. An Amendment of the Plan in accordance with the terms hereof shall
automatically effect a corresponding amendment to the rights of all Eligible Officers hereunder.

Article VII

Miscellaneous

     Section 7.1 Employment Status. This Plan does not constitute a contract of employment
or impose upon the Company or any Affiliate any obligation to retain the Eligible Officer as an
employee, to change or not change the status of the Eligible Officer’s employment, or to change the
Company’s policies or those of its Affiliates regarding termination of employment.

     Section 7.2 Validity and Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any
provision of the Plan shall not affect the validity or
enforceability of any other provision of the Plan, which shall remain in full force and
effect, and any prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render
unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

     Section 7.3 Governing Law. To the extent not preempted by ERISA, the validity,
interpretation, construction and performance of the Plan shall in all respects be governed by the
laws of Texas, without reference to principles of conflict of law.

     Section 7.4 Funding. The Plan is funded through the general assets of the Company and
all payments of Severance Benefits with respect to a particular Eligible Officer shall be paid from
the general assets of the Company. Neither the Company nor the Administrator shall have any
obligation to establish a trust or fund for the payment of benefits under the Plan or to insure any
of the benefits under the Plan. None of the officers, members of the Board of Directors, or agents
of the Company, any Affiliate or the Administrator guarantees in any manner the payment of benefits
hereunder.

Exhibit 10.37

Amendment Number One to the

Mark Blinn Employment Agreement

     This Amendment Number One to the Mark Blinn Employment Agreement (the “Amendment”) is made and
entered into by and between Flowserve Corporation, a New York corporation (the “Company”) and Mark
Blinn (“Executive”) as of November 19, 2008 for purposes of amending that certain employment
agreement by and between the Company and Executive dated May 7, 2007 (the “Employment Agreement”).
Terms used in this Amendment with initial capital letters that are not otherwise defined herein
shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Employment Agreement.

WITNESSETH

     WHEREAS, the Company and Executive desire to amend the Employment Agreement to bring the
provisions into compliance with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended;

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and conditions hereafter set forth
and for other good and valuable consideration, the Company and Executive agree that Section 8 of
the Employment Agreement is hereby amended by deleting said Section in its entirety and replacing
it with the following:

8. Delay of Severance Payments. To the extent (i) any post-termination payments to
which Executive becomes entitled under this Agreement or any agreement or plan
referenced herein constitute deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and (ii) Executive is deemed
at the time of such termination of employment to be a “specified employee” under
Section 409A of the Code, then such payment will not be made or commence until the
earliest of (x) the expiration of the six (6) month period measured from the date of
Executive’s “separation from service” (as such term is defined in the Treasury
Regulations promulgated under Section 409A of the Code and any other guidance issued
under Section 409A of the Code); and (y) the date of Executive’s death following
such separation from service. Upon the expiration of the applicable deferral
period, any payments which would have otherwise been made during that period
(whether in a single sum or in installments) in the absence of this Section 8
(together with reasonable accrued interest) will be paid to Executive or Executive’s
beneficiary in one lump sum.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Amendment to be duly executed by its officers
thereunto duly authorized, and Executive has hereunto set his hand as of the day and year first
above written.
