In the event of such notification of a dispute, Buyer and Seller shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such dispute. If Buyer and Seller, notwithstanding such good faith effort, fail to resolve such dispute within thirty (30) days after Seller advises Buyer of its objections, then Buyer and Seller jointly shall engage the firm of BDO Seidman LLP, or such other public accounting firm to which the parties may agree, (the “Accounting Firm”) to resolve such dispute.

bank wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by Buyer, an amount in cash equal to the Working Capital Peg minus the Working Capital Amount, within five (5) Business Days from the date on which the Working Capital Amount is finally determined pursuant to Section 2(h)(ii). If the amounts held in the Escrow Account at the time of such payment are insufficient to pay to Buyer the entire amount by which the Working Capital Peg exceeds the Working Capital Amount, then, on the same day as the Escrow Agent makes its payment to Buyer, Seller shall pay an amount equal to the shortfall to Buyer by bank wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by Buyer. If the Working Capital Peg is less than the Working Capital Amount as of the Closing Date (as finally determined pursuant to Section 2(h)(ii)), then the Purchase Price shall be adjusted appropriately, the Escrow Agent shall pay to Seller the entire amount remaining in the Escrow Account, in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement, by bank wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by Seller, and Buyer shall pay or cause to be paid, by bank wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by Seller, an amount in cash equal to the Working Capital Amount minus the Working Capital Peg, within five (5) Business Days from the date on which the Working Capital Amount is finally determined pursuant to Section 2(h)(ii).

The parties agree that such direct transfer, conveyance or assignment, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be for the benefit of Buyer and that compliance with such direction from Seller shall not relieve Buyer of its obligations to the Seller Indemnified Parties under Section 8(c)(iii) nor Seller of its obligations to the Buyer Indemnified Parties under Section 8(b)(iii).

     (ii) Each of the parties shall promptly notify the other party of any communication it or any of its Affiliates receives from any Governmental Authority relating to the matters that are the subject of this Agreement and permit the other party to review in advance any proposed communication by such party to any Governmental Authority. Neither party to this Agreement shall agree to participate in any meeting with any Governmental Authority in respect of any filings, investigation or other inquiry unless it consults with the other party in advance and, to the extent permitted by such Governmental Authority, gives the other party the opportunity to attend and participate at such meeting. Subject to the Confidentiality Agreement, the parties will coordinate and cooperate fully with each other in exchanging such information and providing such

Flowserve GSG Asset Purchase Agreement

assistance as the other party may reasonably request in connection with the foregoing and in seeking early termination of any applicable waiting periods including under the HSR Act.

     (i) Release of Guarantees. The parties hereto agree to cooperate and use their reasonable best efforts to obtain the release of the Seller or its Affiliates that are a party to each of the guarantees, performance bonds, bid bonds and other similar agreements listed in Schedule 5(i) (the “Guarantees”). In the event any of the Guarantees are not released prior to or at the Closing, the Buyer will provide the Seller at the Closing with a guarantee that indemnifies and holds the Seller and its Affiliates that are a party to each such Guarantee harmless for any and all payments required to be made under, and costs and expenses incurred in connection with, such Guarantee by the Seller or its Affiliates that are a party to such Guarantee until such Guarantee is released.

     (j) Corporate Name. The Buyer acknowledges that, from and after the Closing Date, the Seller shall have the absolute and exclusive proprietary right to all names, marks, trade names and trademarks (collectively “Names”) incorporating “Flowserve” (and any other trademark, trade name or service mark owned by Seller and listed on Schedule 2(b)(iii)), by itself or in combination with any other Name, and that none of the rights thereto or goodwill represented thereby or pertaining thereto are being transferred hereby or in connection herewith. The Buyer agrees that from and after the Closing Date it will not, nor will it permit any of its Affiliates to, use any name, phrase or logo incorporating “Flowserve” or any of the other trademarks, trade names or service marks listed on Schedule 2(b)(iii) in or on any of its literature, sales materials or products or otherwise in connection with the sale of any products or services; provided, however, that the Buyer may continue to use any printed literature, sales materials, purchase orders and sales, maintenance or license agreements, and sell any products, that are included in the Inventory on the Closing Date and that bear a name, phrase or logo incorporating “Flowserve” or any of the other trademarks, trade names or service marks listed on Schedule 2(b)(iii) (as limited by any existing agreements the Seller may have with third parties) until the supplies thereof existing on the Closing Date have been exhausted, but in any event for not longer than sixty (60) days from the Closing Date. With respect to the printed purchase orders and sales, maintenance or license agreements referred to in the preceding sentence, from and after the Closing Date the Buyer shall sticker or otherwise mark such documents as necessary in order to indicate clearly that neither the Seller nor any of its Affiliates is a party to such documents. From and after the expiration of such sixty (60) day period, the Buyer shall cease to use any such literature and sales materials, delete or cover (as by stickering) any such name, phrase or logo from any item included in the Inventory that bears such name, phrase or logo and take such other actions as may be necessary or advisable to clearly and prominently indicate that neither the Buyer nor any of its Affiliates is affiliated with the Seller or any of its Affiliates.

     (l) Noncompetition.

     (i) The Seller covenants and agrees that, except for the fulfillment of its obligations pursuant to Section 2(d)(ii) and except as expressly set forth herein, for a period of five (5) years from the Closing Date, neither it nor its Affiliates will, (A) (1) anywhere in the world, directly or indirectly engage in or own, operate, advise or manage any Person engaged in, Online Services, or (2) directly or indirectly engage in or own, operate, advise or manage any Person engaged in, Third Party Valve Maintenance with respect to Valves used or to be used at any customer site that is located within one-hundred (100) miles of any of the Locations listed on Schedule 5(l)(i) ((A)(1) and (A)(2) together being the “Restricted Business”) or (B) establish any new local general Valve service and repair center within one-hundred (100) miles of a Facility, although Seller may establish and operate a Valve Maintenance facility within one-hundred (100) miles of a Facility to perform OEM Valve Maintenance and/or OEM Related Third-Party Valve Maintenance to the level permitted in the definition of OEM Related Third-Party Valve Maintenance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties agree that the Restricted Business shall not include either (w) OEM Related Third-Party Valve Maintenance, or (x) maintenance, repair, replacement, upgrading and servicing, in a non-pressurized environment, of (1) products that are presently or in the future manufactured by Seller or its Affiliates (including manufacture under licensing arrangements by third-parties to Seller or its Affiliates) or (2) products that perform substantially the same functions as the products described in (x)(1) or (3) any related accessories or customer equipment, including Valves, that are related in a substantial way to the products described in (x)(1) and (x)(2) and the maintenance, repair, replacement, upgrading or servicing of which are necessary to restore or improve functional service to such products. For the sake of clarification, and not as a limitation, the parties acknowledge that for the purposes of this Section 5(l), (y) during the five-year noncompetition period, the Seller and its Affiliates shall not perform on-site services at customers’ sites on pressurized operating equipment, and (z) the term Affiliate shall include future Affiliates (including Acquired Persons). For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in the definition of Restricted Business shall restrict in any way Seller’s manufacture, marketing, sale, service, repair and distribution of current and future products manufactured by Seller or any of its Affiliates (including manufacture under licensing arrangements by third-parties to Seller or its Affiliates) except to the extent expressly set forth herein.

     (ii) The restrictions set forth in Section 5(l)(i) above shall not apply (A) if Seller is acquired by a Person (an “Acquiring Person”) through a merger or consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of its assets and the Acquiring Person was materially

Flowserve GSG Asset Purchase Agreement

engaged in the Restricted Business prior to the acquisition, or (B) to the acquisition by the Seller or any of its Affiliates of a Person (an “Acquired Person”) by merger or consolidation or purchase of all or substantially all of the assets of the Acquired Person (an “Acquisition”), so long as (1) the Acquired Person was engaged in the Restricted Business prior to such acquisition, and (2) within two-hundred seventy (270) days following the consummation of such Acquisition, Seller, or its applicable Affiliate, sells the portion of the business of the Acquired Person that constitutes the Restricted Business (the “Restricted Portion”) or ceases all Restricted Business it is conducting as a result of such Acquisition within two-hundred seventy (270) days following the consummation of such Acquisition (or, if buyer shall have delivered the Buyer Notice described in (iii) below, within the later of (y) two-hundred seventy (270) days following the consummation of such Acquisition or (z) sixty (60) days after Buyer and Seller have terminated negotiations regarding the purchase of the Restricted Portion by Buyer.)

     (iii) In the event that Seller, or its applicable Affiliate, sells or proposes to sell such Restricted Portion to any person other than Buyer or its Affiliates (a “Third-Party Buyer”), then Seller shall provide Buyer with written notice (the “Seller Notice”) of such sale at least ninety (90) days prior to the closing of such sale or proposed sale, which Seller Notice shall describe in reasonable detail the proposed sale, including the nature of the transfer, the proposed price of such sale and any other material terms thereof. Following receipt by Buyer of such Seller Notice, Buyer shall have the option to purchase the Restricted Portion upon the same terms and conditions specified in the Seller Notice which option it may exercise by delivering Seller written notice thereof (the “Buyer Notice”) within forty-five (45) days after its receipt of Seller Notice. If Buyer provides Seller with the Buyer Notice in the required time period, then Seller and Buyer shall take all commercially reasonable actions as are necessary to consummate the sale of the Restricted Portion to Buyer on terms consistent with the Seller Notice. In the event Buyer fails to provide the Buyer Notice to Seller in the required time period, then Seller or its applicable Affiliate may consummate the proposed sale of the Restricted Portion with the Third Party Buyer, but only on terms and conditions that are not materially different from the terms and conditions set forth in the Seller Notice. If Buyer fails to exercise its option following receipt of the Seller Notice, Seller or its applicable Affiliate may not consummate a sale of the Restricted Portion to any Person on terms that are materially different from the terms in the Seller Notice without again complying with terms of this Section and providing a new Seller Notice to Buyer regarding such revised terms. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any failure of Buyer to exercise its option to purchase the Restricted Portion shall not relieve Seller of its obligation to sell the Restricted Portion or cease all Restricted Business it is conducting as a result of such Acquisition within two-hundred seventy (270) days following the consummation of such Acquisition (or, if Buyer shall have delivered the Buyer Notice, within the later of (y) two-hundred seventy (270) days following the consummation of such Acquisition or (z) sixty (60) days after Buyer and Seller have terminated negotiations regarding the purchase of the Restricted Portion by Buyer).

Flowserve GSG Asset Purchase Agreement

     (iv) The Seller will not, for a period of five (5) years following the Closing Date without the prior written consent of the Buyer, either alone or in conjunction with any other Person, directly or indirectly, or through its present or future Affiliates, solicit (other than a solicitation by general advertisement) any person who is an employee of the Buyer or any of its Affiliates who is engaged primarily in the Business, to terminate his or her employment with the Buyer or such Affiliate.

     (v) The Seller acknowledges that the covenants of the Seller set forth in this Section 5(l), are an essential element of this Agreement and that any breach by the Seller of any provision of this Section 5(l),will result in irreparable injury to the Buyer. The Seller acknowledges that in the event of such a breach, in addition to all other remedies available at law, the Buyer shall be entitled to equitable relief, including injunctive relief, and an equitable accounting of all earnings, profits or other benefits arising therefrom, as well as such other damages as may be appropriate. The Seller has independently consulted with its counsel and after such consultation agrees that the covenants set forth in this Section 5(l) are reasonable and proper to protect the legitimate interest of the Buyer.

     (vi) If a court of competent jurisdiction determines that the character, duration or geographical scope of the provisions of this Section 5(l) are unreasonable, it is the intention and the agreement of the parties that these provisions shall be construed by the court in such a manner as to impose only those restrictions on the Seller’s conduct that are reasonable in light of the circumstances and as are necessary to assure to the Buyer the benefits of this Agreement. If, in any judicial proceeding, a court shall refuse to enforce all of the separate covenants of this Section 5(l), because taken together they are more extensive than necessary to assure to the Buyer the intended benefits of this Agreement, it is expressly understood and agreed by the parties that the provisions hereof that, if eliminated, would permit the remaining separate provisions to be enforced in such proceeding, shall be deemed eliminated from this Agreement.

     (m) No Solicitation. The Buyer will not, for a period of 30 months following the Closing Date, without the prior written consent of the Seller, either alone or in conjunction with any other Person, directly or indirectly, or through its present or future Affiliates, solicit (other than a solicitation by general advertisement) any person who is an employee of the Seller or any of its Affiliates, at the date hereof or at any time hereafter that precedes the Closing to terminate his or her employment with the Seller or such Affiliate, except as expressly permitted or required by Section 5(f) of this Agreement. The Buyer agrees that any remedy at law for any breach by the Buyer of this Section 5(m) would be inadequate, and that the Seller would be entitled to injunctive relief in such a case. If it is ever held that this restriction on the Buyer is too onerous and is not necessary for the protection of the Seller, the Buyer agrees that any court of competent jurisdiction may impose such lesser restrictions that such court may consider to be necessary or appropriate properly to protect the Seller.

     (n) Bulk Transfer Laws; Payment of Liabilities. The Buyer hereby waives compliance by the Seller with the provisions of any so-called “bulk transfer laws” of any jurisdiction in connection with the sale of the Transferred Assets to the Buyer. Seller shall, and

Flowserve GSG Asset Purchase Agreement

shall cause its Affiliates to, pay or otherwise satisfy in the ordinary course of business all of its liabilities and obligations associated with or affecting the Business or the Transferred Assets.

     (o) Public Announcements. On and after the date hereof and through the Closing Date, the parties shall consult with each other before issuing any press release or otherwise making any public statements with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, and neither party shall issue any press release or make any public statement prior to obtaining the other party’s written approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, except that no such approval shall be necessary to the extent disclosure may be required by applicable Law or any listing agreement of either party hereto.

     (p) Real Estate Matters.

     (i) Maintenance and Operation. Until Closing, Seller will (a) maintain the Real Property and the improvements located thereon as they existed on the date hereof, except for reasonable wear, tear and casualty damage; (b) operate the improvements on the Real Property in the same manner as they were operated on the date hereof; and (c) comply with all contracts and governmental regulations affecting the Real Property. Until the Closing, Seller will not enter into, amend, or terminate any contract that affects the Real Property other than in the ordinary course of operating the Real Property.

     (ii) Casualty Damage. Seller will notify Buyer promptly after discovery of any casualty damage to the improvements or fixtures on the Real Property. Seller will use commercially reasonable efforts to repair the damaged improvements and fixtures for any Real Property prior to Closing. If Seller is unable to fully repair the damaged improvements and fixtures prior to Closing, and the Closing occurs, Seller will (a) convey the affected Real Property (including its or its Affiliates leasehold interest in any Leased Real Property) to Buyer in its damaged condition, (b) assign to Buyer all of Seller’s rights under any property insurance policies covering such Real Property, (c) pay to Buyer the amount of the deductibles and coinsurance provisions under any insurance policies covering the Real Property, but not in excess of the cost to repair the casualty damage and less any amounts previously paid by Seller to repair the Real Property, and (d) cooperate with Buyer to provide Buyer with access to and use of facilities that are equivalent to the damaged facility until such time as the repair can be completed. If Seller has not insured (or has “self-insured”) the affected Real Property and the Closing occurs, the Purchase Price will be reduced by the cost to repair the casualty damage.

     (iii) Condemnation. Seller will notify Buyer promptly after Seller receives notice that any part of any Real Property has been or is threatened to be condemned or otherwise taken by a Governmental Authority.

     (iv) Income and Expenses. Income and expenses pertaining to ownership and operation of the Real Property, including rental payments on the Leased Real Property and real property Taxes, will be prorated as of the Closing Date on an accrual basis and paid at Closing as a credit or debit adjustment to the Purchase Price. Invoices that are received after Closing for operating expenses incurred on or before the Closing Date and

Flowserve GSG Asset Purchase Agreement

not adjusted at Closing will be prorated between the parties as of the Closing Date, and Seller will pay its share within ten (10) days of notice of Buyer’s invoice. Real property Taxes for the purposes of calculating this pro-ration shall be based on the assessed Taxes with respect to the Real Property for the year if known as of the Closing Date and otherwise shall be based on the assessed Taxes with respect to the Real Property for the immediately preceding year.

     (v) Post-Closing Adjustments. If errors in the prorations made pursuant to this Section at Closing are identified within ninety (90) days after Closing, Seller and Buyer will make post-closing adjustments to correct the errors within fifteen (15) days of receipt of notice of the errors.

     (vi) Belgian Subleases. As soon as reasonably practicable following the Closing, Flowserve Belgium and Furmanite GSG BVBA shall enter into (A) a sublease agreement for a term of less than one year regarding the Location in Lokeren, Belgium, (B) a sublease agreement for a term of less than one year regarding the premises located at Unit C at the Location in Antwerp, Belgium, and (C) a sublease agreement for a term of less than one year regarding the use of ten (10) parking spaces at the premises located at Goteborgweg 2, Antwerp, Belgium. Seller shall, and shall cause Flowserve Belgium to, use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any consent required to allow Flowserve Belgium and Furmanite GSG BVBA to enter into such sublease agreements. Such sublease agreements shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Buyer and Seller.

     (q) No Negotiation. Until such time as this Agreement shall be terminated pursuant to Section 9(a), Seller shall not, nor shall it cause or permit any of its Affiliates or Representatives to, directly or indirectly solicit, initiate, encourage or entertain any inquiries or proposals from, discuss or negotiate with, provide any nonpublic information to or consider the merits of any inquiries or proposals from any Person (other than Buyer) relating to any business combination transaction for the Business or a sale of all or any material portion of the Transferred Assets (other than sales of inventory in the ordinary course of business). Seller shall notify Buyer of any such inquiry or proposal within twenty-four (24) hours of receipt or awareness of the same by Seller or any of its Affiliates or Representatives. Promptly following execution of this Agreement, Seller shall (i) terminate access to any electronic or other data rooms for persons other than Buyer or its Representatives and (ii) request each Person to whom it has previously provided such access or to whom it has provided non-public information concerning the Business to return any such information, or confirm the destruction of such information in writing.

In addition, Buyer shall have the right to have the Facilities inspected by Buyer Group, at Buyer’s sole cost and expense, for purposes of determining the physical condition and legal characteristics of the Facilities.

     (ii) Buyer agrees to use Environmental Resources Management as its environmental consultant (hereinafter the “Environmental Consultant”) to conduct Phase I Site Assessment (“Phase I ESA”) on the Facilities listed on Schedule 5(s)(ii), with the cost to conduct such Phase I ESAs being borne solely by Buyer. Buyer shall have the right to be present during any environmental assessment of the Transferred Assets. Buyer shall maintain, and shall cause its officers, employees, Representatives, consultants and advisors to maintain, all information obtained by Buyer pursuant to any environmental assessment or other due diligence activity as strictly confidential, unless disclosure of any facts discovered through such environmental assessment is required under any Environmental Laws. In the event that any necessary disclosures under applicable Environmental Laws are required with respect to matters discovered by any environmental assessment conducted by, for or on behalf of Buyer, Buyer agrees that Seller shall be the responsible party for disclosing such matters to the appropriate Governmental Authorities, unless Buyer is required by applicable Environmental Laws to make such disclosure, in which case Buyer shall so notify Seller and allow Seller a reasonable time to prepare such disclosure.

     (iii) Subject to Section 5(r)(i) and Section 5(r)(iv) and upon reasonable prior notice, Seller shall permit Buyer Group to consult with Seller’s employees during reasonable business hours (including 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday through Friday) and to conduct, at Buyer’s sole risk and expense, any other environmental inspections of the Transferred Assets and to examine the environmental records at such Transferred Assets. Seller shall also coordinate with Buyer to allow site visitors and inspections on Saturdays to the reasonable extent such access can be made available. Buyer agrees to protect, defend, indemnify and hold the Seller Indemnified Parties harmless from and against any and all Environmental Liabilities occurring on or to the Transferred Assets caused by the acts or omissions of Buyer Group in connection with any due diligence conducted by the Buyer Group, including any site visits and environmental sampling. Buyer Group agrees to comply fully with all rules, regulations and instructions issued by Seller (to the extent reasonable notice thereof has been given to Buyer Group) regarding Buyer’s actions while upon, entering or leaving any Facility, including any insurance requirements that the Seller may reasonably impose on contractors authorized to perform work on any property owned or operated by Seller.

Flowserve GSG Asset Purchase Agreement

     (iv) Buyer shall not be entitled to perform any environmental diligence beyond a Phase I ESA, nor any surface or subsurface investigation or invasive or destructive sampling (hereinafter a “Phase II ESA”), without the prior written consent of Seller, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Any Phase II ESAs will be conducted at FWW’s sole cost and expense. Seller shall have the right to be present during any environmental assessment of the Transferred Assets. Buyer shall furnish Seller with copies all Phase I and Phase II ESA reports and all other environmental reports obtained by, or prepared by or for Buyer and its respective agents in connection with any of the foregoing inspections.

Liability for the remainder of such property Taxes shall be borne by the Buyer. The party paying such liability to the Taxing Authority shall provide proof of such payment and a schedule setting out in reasonable detail the amount of the other party’s liability. Such other party shall promptly pay the other the amount of such liability following notice and demand therefor adjusted for Taxes borne by such other Party through Section 5(p)(iv).

The covenants and agreements of the Seller Entities and the Buyer Entities contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing for a period of twelve months after the Closing Date, except for those covenants and agreements that by their terms contemplate performance in whole or in part after the Closing, which shall remain in full force and effect for a period of twelve months following the date by which such covenant or agreement is required to be performed, and except for the covenants and agreements contained in Article 2, which shall remain in full force and effect for a period of 2 years following the Closing.

     (b) Indemnification by the Seller. The Seller shall save, defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Buyer, and any officer, director, employee, agent and Affiliate of the Buyer (collectively, the “Buyer Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all losses, damages, liabilities, deficiencies, claims, interest, awards, judgments, penalties, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred in investigating, preparing or defending the foregoing) (hereinafter collectively, “Losses”) to the extent arising out of or resulting from:

     (i) any breach of any representation or warranty made by the Seller contained in this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement, or any certificate delivered pursuant hereto;

     (ii) any breach of any covenant or agreement by the Seller contained in this Agreement, or any Ancillary Agreement; and

     (iii) any Excluded Liability;

provided, however, that with respect to a breach of the representation and warranty contained in Section 3(r) regarding internal accounting controls and procedures, “Losses” shall not include any costs incurred by a Buyer Indemnified Party in implementing remedial internal control systems and procedures following the Closing Date.

     (c) Indemnification by the Buyer and FWW. The Buyer and FWW (together, the “Buyer Indemnitors”), jointly and severally, shall save, defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Enumerated Seller Entities, and any officer, director, employee, agent and Affiliate of the Enumerated Seller Entities (collectively, the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all Losses to the extent arising out of or resulting from:

     (i) any breach of any representation or warranty made by the Buyer contained in this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement, or any certificate delivered pursuant hereto;

     (ii) any breach of any covenant or agreement by the Buyer contained in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement;

     (iii) any Assumed Liability; and

Flowserve GSG Asset Purchase Agreement

     (iv) any non-compliance with any “bulk transfer laws”.

     (d) Procedures.

     (i) In order for a Buyer Indemnified Party or Seller Indemnified Party (the “Indemnified Party”) to be entitled to any indemnification provided for under this Agreement in respect of, arising out of or involving a Loss or a claim or demand made by any Person (other than another party to this Agreement or an Affiliate of such other party) against the Indemnified Party (a “Third Party Claim”), such Indemnified Party shall deliver notice thereof to the party against whom indemnity is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) promptly after receipt by such Indemnified Party of written notice of the Third Party Claim, describing in reasonable detail the facts giving rise to any claim for indemnification hereunder, the amount or method of computation of the amount of such claim (if known) and such other information with respect thereto as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request. The failure to provide such notice, however, shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations under this Article 8 except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced by such failure.

     (ii) The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, upon written notice to the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days of receipt of notice from the Indemnified Party of the commencement of such Third Party Claim, to assume the defense thereof at the expense of the Indemnifying Party with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party and reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in but not control the defense thereof, and the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the sole expense of the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in such defense and make available to the Indemnifying Party all witnesses, pertinent records, materials and information in the Indemnified Party’s possession or under the Indemnified Party’s control relating thereto as is reasonably required by the Indemnifying Party. Whether or not the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall not admit any liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge, or offer to settle, compromise or discharge, such Third Party Claim without the Indemnifying Party’s prior written consent.

     (iii) In the event any Indemnified Party should have a claim against any Indemnifying Party hereunder that does not involve a Third Party Claim being asserted against or sought to be collected from such Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party shall deliver notice of such claim promptly to the Indemnifying Party, describing in reasonable detail the facts giving rise to any claim for indemnification hereunder, the amount or method of computation of the amount of such claim (if known) and such other information with respect thereto as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request. The failure to provide such notice, however, shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations under this Article 8 except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced by such failure. The Indemnified Party shall reasonably cooperate and

Flowserve GSG Asset Purchase Agreement

assist the Indemnifying Party in determining the validity of any claim for indemnity by the Indemnified Party and in otherwise resolving such matters. Such assistance and cooperation shall include providing reasonable access to and copies of information, records and documents relating to such matters, furnishing employees to assist in the investigation, defense and resolution of such matters and providing reasonable legal and business assistance with respect to such matters.

     (e) Limits on Indemnification.

     (i) No claim may be asserted against any party for breach of any representation, warranty or covenant contained herein, unless written notice of such claim is received by such party, describing in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances with respect to the subject matter of such claim on or prior to the date on which the representation, warranty or covenant on which such claim is based ceases to survive as set forth in Section 8(a), in which case such representation, warranty or covenant shall survive as to such claim until such claim has been finally resolved.

     (ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement (other than the Working Capital Amount adjustment set forth in Section 2(h)): (u) the Seller shall not be liable to any Buyer Indemnified Party for any claim for indemnification unless and until the aggregate amount of indemnifiable Losses that may be recovered from the Seller under this Article 8 equals or exceeds $500,000 (the “Deductible”), in which case the Seller shall be liable only for the Losses in excess of such amount; (v) the maximum aggregate amount of indemnifiable Losses which may be recovered by the Buyer Indemnified Parties shall be an amount equal to $6,000,000 (the “Indemnification Cap”); (w) the Buyer Indemnitors shall not be liable to any Seller Indemnified Party for any claim for indemnification unless and until the aggregate amount of indemnifiable Losses that may be recovered from the Buyer Indemnitors under this Article 8 equals or exceeds the Deductible, in which case the Buyer Indemnitors shall be liable only for the Losses in excess of such amount, and (x) the maximum aggregate amount of indemnifiable Losses which may be recovered by the Seller Indemnified Parties shall be an amount equal to the Indemnification Cap. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (A) any claim of indemnification for any breach of representations and warranties contained in Sections 3(a), 3(b), 3(d)(i), 3(l)(i), 3(n), 3(p), 3(q)(ii), 4(a), 4(b) and 4(d) shall not be subject to the Indemnification Cap; (B) any claim of indemnification for (1) any breach of a covenant contained in Section 5(e), 5(f)(i), 5(f)(iii), 5(f)(v), 5(f)(vi) 5(k), 5(l), 5(p)(iv), 5(p)(v), 5(q), Article 6, or Article 8, (2) the Excluded Liabilities or (3) the Assumed Liabilities, shall not be subject to the Indemnification Cap or the Deductible; (C) any claim for indemnification for any breach of a covenant contained in Article 2 shall not be subject to the Indemnification Cap or the Deductible, and (D) if prior to Closing Seller amends, changes or supplements its Disclosure Schedules with regard to a fact, change, event, occurrence, circumstance or other matter requiring such amendment, change or supplement under Section 5(c) (a “Schedule Update Matter”), and the Closing occurs, Seller shall not be obligated to indemnify any Buyer Indemnified Party with respect to any Loss resulting from a breach of a representation or warranty by a Seller Entity as a result of such Schedule Update Matter

Flowserve GSG Asset Purchase Agreement

to the extent such Schedule Update Matter is disclosed in such amended, changed or supplemented Disclosure Schedules.

     (iii) For all purposes of this Article 8, “Losses” shall be net of (A) any insurance or other recoveries sought and actually paid to the Indemnified Party or its Affiliates in connection with the facts giving rise to the right of indemnification and (B) any Tax benefit available to such Indemnified Party or its Affiliates arising in connection with the accrual, incurrence or payment of any such Losses (including, without limitation, the net present value of any Tax benefit arising in subsequent taxable years).

     (iv) The Buyer and the Seller shall cooperate with each other with respect to resolving any claim or liability with respect to which one party is obligated to indemnify the other party hereunder, including by making commercially reasonably efforts to mitigate or resolve any such claim liability. In the event that the Buyer or the Seller shall fail to make such commercially reasonably efforts to mitigate or resolve any claim or liability, then notwithstanding anything else to the contrary contained herein, the other party shall not be required to indemnify any person for any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense that could reasonably be expected to have been avoided if the Buyer or the Seller, as the case may be, had made such efforts.

     (f) Assignment of Claims. If any Buyer Indemnified Party receives any payment from the Seller in respect of any Losses pursuant to Section 8(b) and the Buyer Indemnified Party could have recovered all or a part of such Losses from a third party (a “Potential Contributor”) based on the underlying claim asserted against the Seller, the Buyer Indemnified Party shall assign, on a non-recourse basis and without any representation or warranty, such of its rights to proceed against the Potential Contributor as are necessary to permit the Seller to recover from the Potential Contributor the amount of such payment. Any payment received in respect of such claim shall be distributed, (A) first to the Buyer Indemnified Party in the amount of any deductible or similar amount required to be paid by the Buyer Indemnified Party prior to the Seller being required to make any payment to the Buyer Indemnified Party, (B) second to the Seller in an amount equal to the aggregate payments made by the Seller to the Buyer Indemnified Party in respect of such claim, plus costs and expenses incurred in investigating, defending or otherwise incurred in connection with addressing such claim and (C) the balance, if any, to Seller.

     (g) Exclusivity. Except for the indemnification and other remedies provided for in Section 2(h), Section 5(b)(ii), Section 5(b)(iii), Section 5(l), Section 5(m), Article 6, and Section 10(m), each of the Buyer Entities and each of the Enumerated Seller Entities further acknowledge and agree that, should the Closing occur, its sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any and all claims relating to this Agreement, the Business, the Transferred Assets, the Excluded Assets, the Assumed Liabilities, the Excluded Liabilities or the transactions contemplated hereby (other than claims of, or causes of action arising from, fraud) shall be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article 8. Notwithstanding the generality of the foregoing and for the avoidance of doubt, except as set forth in Section 2(d)(iii) hereof, the Buyer Entities on behalf of their Affiliates, successors and assigns acknowledge and agree that no Enumerated Seller Entity, its Affiliates, successors or assigns shall have any

Flowserve GSG Asset Purchase Agreement

responsibility for, and the Buyer Entities hereby release Seller from, any Environmental Liabilities (whether by statute, at common law or otherwise) present on, at, or underlying the Transferred Assets on or prior to the Closing Date, including but not limited to claims made under CERCLA, RCRA or any similar state law or regulations promulgated thereto.

     (h) Treatment of Losses. For all Tax purposes, the Buyer and the Seller agree to treat (and shall cause each of their respective Affiliates to treat) any indemnity payment under this Agreement as an adjustment to the Purchase Price.

9. TERMINATION, AMENDMENT AND WAIVER

     (a) Termination. This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing:

     (i) by mutual written consent of the Buyer and the Seller;

     (ii) (x) by the Seller, if the Buyer breaches or fails to perform in any respect any of its representations, warranties or covenants contained in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement and such breach or failure to perform (A) would give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Section 7(b), (B) cannot be or has not been cured within thirty (30) days following delivery of written notice of such breach or failure to perform and (C) has not been waived by the Seller or (y) by the Buyer, if the Seller breaches or fails to perform in any respect any of its representations, warranties or covenants contained in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement and such breach or failure to perform (A) would give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Section 7(c), (B) cannot be or has not been cured within thirty (30) days following delivery of written notice of such breach or failure to perform and (C) has not been waived by the Buyer;

     (iii) (x) by the Seller, if any of the conditions set forth in Section 7(a) or Section 7(b) shall have become incapable of fulfillment prior to the Termination Date or (y) by the Buyer, if any of the conditions set forth in Section 7(a) or Section 7(c) shall have become incapable of fulfillment prior to the Termination Date; provided, that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9(a)(iii) shall not be available if the failure of the party so requesting termination to fulfill any obligation under this Agreement shall have been the cause of the failure of such condition to be satisfied on or prior to such date;

     (iv) by either the Seller or the Buyer if the Closing shall not have occurred by December 31, 2005 (the “Termination Date”);

     (v) by either the Seller or the Buyer in the event that any Governmental Authority shall have issued an order, decree or ruling or taken any other action restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and such order, decree, ruling or other action shall have become final and nonappealable; provided, that the party so requesting termination shall have complied with Section 5(h); or

     (i) Except as set forth in Section 10(m), in the event of a dispute relating to this Agreement, the parties shall make a good faith effort to promptly settle any differences without resorting to arbitration. If settlement of the dispute is not possible, any and all disputes shall be resolved by arbitration.

     (l) Assignment; Successors. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement may be assigned or delegated, in whole or in part, by

Flowserve GSG Asset Purchase Agreement

operation of law or otherwise, by either party without the prior written consent of the other party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and any such assignment without such prior written consent shall be null and void; provided, however, that the Buyer may assign this Agreement to any Subsidiary of the Buyer without the prior consent of the Seller and; provided further, that the Seller may assign any of its rights under this Agreement, including the right to receive the Purchase Price, to one or more Affiliates of the Seller without the consent of the Buyer and; provided still further, that no assignment shall limit the assignor’s obligations hereunder.

Accordingly, each of the parties shall be entitled to specific performance of the terms hereof, including an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in any Texas State or federal court sitting in the city of Dallas (or, if such court lacks subject matter jurisdiction, in any appropriate Texas State or federal court), this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. Each of the parties further hereby waives (a) any defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate and (b) any requirement under any law to post security as a prerequisite to obtaining equitable relief.

     (n) Currency. All references to “dollars” or “$” or “US$” in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement refer to United States dollars, which is the currency used for all purposes in this Agreement and any Ancillary Agreement.

     (o) Severability. Whenever possible, each provision or portion of any provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable Law, but if any provision or portion of any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable Law or rule in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision or portion of any provision in such jurisdiction, and this Agreement shall be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision or portion of any provision had never been contained herein.

     (p) Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

Flowserve GSG Asset Purchase Agreement

     (s) Time of Essence. Time is of the essence with regard to all dates and time periods set forth or referred to in this Agreement.

     (t) No Consequential Damages. The parties hereto expressly acknowledge and agree that no party hereto shall have any liability under any provision of this Agreement for any punitive, incidental, consequential, special or indirect damages, including business interruption, loss of future revenue, profits or income, or loss of business reputation or opportunity relating to the breach or alleged breach of this Agreement (other than in the case of fraud or willful breach of this Agreement).

     (u) Disclaimer of Certain Warranties.

     (i) It is the explicit intent and understanding of each party hereto that neither party hereto or any of such party’s Affiliates or Representatives is making any representation or warranty whatsoever, oral or written, express or implied, as to the accuracy or completeness of any information regarding the Business, the Transferred Assets or the Assumed Liabilities, except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, and neither party hereto is relying on any statement, representation or warranty, oral or written, express or implied, made by the other party hereto or such other party’s Affiliates or Representatives, except for the representations and warranties expressly set forth in this Agreement. WITHOUT LIMITING THE GENERALITY OF THE FOREGOING, THE BUYER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT, EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, THE SELLER DOES NOT MAKE ANY REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES RELATING TO THE MAINTENANCE, REPAIR, CONDITION, DESIGN, PERFORMANCE OR MARKETABILITY OF ANY TRANSFERRED ASSET, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

     (ii) None of the Seller, any of its Affiliates or any other Person shall have or be subject to any liability to the Buyer or any other Person with respect to any information, documents or materials furnished by the Seller, any of its Affiliates or any of their respective Representatives to the Buyer, including the Confidential Information Memorandum dated May 2005 prepared by Robert W. Baird & Co. Incorporated and any information, documents or material made available to the Buyer and its Representatives in certain “data rooms,” management presentations or any other form in expectation of the transactions contemplated hereby. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in connection with the Buyer’s investigation of the Business, the Buyer has received certain estimates, projections and other forecasts regarding the Business and the Transferred Assets, including those contained in the Confidential Information Memorandum dated

May 2005 prepared by Robert W. Baird & Co. Incorporated, and the Buyer acknowledges that (A) there are uncertainties inherent in attempting to make such estimates, projections and other forecasts, (B) the Buyer is familiar with such uncertainties, (C) that the Buyer is taking full responsibility for making its own evaluation of the adequacy and accuracy of all estimates, projections and other forecasts so furnished to it (including the reasonableness of the assumptions underlying such estimates, projections and forecasts), and (D) the Seller makes no representation or warranty with respect to such estimates, projections and other forecasts (including the reasonableness of the assumptions underlying such estimates, projections and forecasts).

     (v) No Presumption Against Drafting Party. Each of the Buyer and the Seller acknowledges that each party to this Agreement has been represented by counsel in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
