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.

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.

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.

SECTION 2.27 SPECIFIED EMPLOYEE. “Specified Employee” shall mean any Participant who is determined to be a “key employee” (as defined under Code Section 416(i) without regard to paragraph (5) thereof) for the applicable period, as determined annually by the Administrative Committee in accordance with Treas.

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.

The Pension and Investment Committee will render a final decision on behalf of the Company with specific reasons therefore in writing and will transmit it to the claimant within 60 days of the written request for review, unless the Pension and Investment Committee determines that additional time, not exceeding 60 days, is needed, and so notifies the Participant. If the Pension and Investment Committee fails to respond to a claim filed in accordance with the foregoing within 60 days or any such extended period, the Company shall be deemed to have denied the claim.

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.

  (a)   If there are amounts scheduled for distribution under other plans or arrangements of any type which are subject to Section 409A of the Code and that could be delayed because of the deductible limits of said Section 162(m), then the amounts scheduled for distribution under this Plan for such Plan Year and the amounts scheduled for distribution under such other plans or arrangements for such Plan Year shall be reduced so that the amounts payable under all such plans shall not, when combined with such Participant’s other remuneration by the Company for such Plan Year, exceed the deductible limits of said Section 162(m).
