Executives Non-Competition, Non-Solicitation, and Non-Recruitment Covenants
.
(a)
The Restrictive Covenants
. In
Section 2
, the Company promised to
provide Executive with new and on-going Confidential Information. Executive recognizes and agrees
that: (i) the Company has devoted a considerable amount of time, effort, and expense to develop
its Confidential Information and business goodwill; (ii) the Confidential Information and the
Companys business goodwill are valuable assets to the Company; and (iii) any unauthorized use or
disclosure of the Companys Confidential Information would cause irreparable harm to the Company
for which there is no adequate remedy at law, including damage to the Companys business goodwill.
For these reasons, Executive agrees that to protect the Companys Confidential Information and
business goodwill, it is necessary to enter into the following restrictive covenants:
Executive, either individually or as a principal, partner, stockholder, manager, agent,
consultant, contractor, employee, lender, investor, volunteer or as a director or officer of
any corporation or association, or in any other manner or capacity whatsoever, agrees that
during Executives employment and for a period of one (1) year following the date on which

),
Executive shall not, whether directly or indirectly, without the express prior written
consent of the Company:
(i)
Non-Competition
. Become employed by, advise, perform services or otherwise
engage in any capacity with a Competing Business in the Restricted Area
.

this Agreement,
Competing Business
means any entity or business that is in the
business of providing flow management products and related repair and/or replacement
services. Because the scope and nature of the Companys business is international in scope
and Executives job duties are international in scope, the
Restricted Area
is worldwide.
However, Executive may own, directly or indirectly, solely as an investment, securities of
any business traded on any national securities exchange or NASDAQ, provided that Executive
is not a controlling person of, or member of a group that controls such business, and
provided further that Executive does not, directly or indirectly, own three percent (3%) or
more of any class of securities of such business.
2
Exhibit 10.1

had contact with during Executives employment or that Executive attempted to contact, call
on, service, or do business with during Executives employment; or (2) Executive became
acquainted with or dealt with, for any reason, as a result of Executives employment with
the Company. This restriction applies only to business that is in the scope of services or
products provided by the Company.

leave the employment of the Company or its subsidiaries, or otherwise cease their employment
with the Company or its subsidiaries, on behalf of himself/herself or any other person or
entity any current employee of the Company or its subsidiaries or any former employee of the
Company or its subsidiaries whose employment ceased than less than three (3) months earlier.
(b)
Remedies
. Executive acknowledges that the restrictions contained in this
Section 3
, in view of the nature of the Companys business, are reasonable and necessary to
protect the Companys legitimate business interests and business goodwill and that any violation of
these restrictions would result in irreparable injury to the Company. The existence of any claim
or cause of action by Executive against the Company, whether predicated on this Agreement or
otherwise, shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement by the Company of the restrictive
covenants contained in
Section 2
or
Section 3.
(i)
Injunctive relief and damages
.
Executive acknowledges and agrees that a
breach of
Section 2
and/or
Section 3
will result in irreparable harm and
continuing damage to the Company, and that money damages would be not be a sufficient remedy
to the Company for any such breach or threatened breach. Therefore, Executive agrees that
the Company shall be entitled to a temporary restraining order and injunctive relief
restraining Executive from the commission of any breach of
Section 2
or
Section
3
, and to recover the Companys attorneys fees, costs and expenses related to any
breach or threatened breach of this Agreement. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be
construed as prohibiting the Company from pursuing any other remedies available to it for
any breach or threatened breach, including, without limitation, the recovery of money
damages, attorneys fees, and costs.
(c)
Severance Pay
. If the Company learns that Executive has accepted or intends to
accept a position which would violate Section 3(a)(i), the Company has the sole discretion to
invoke the requirements of Section 3(a)(i). If that occurs, Executive will be eligible for
Severance Pay while Section 3(a)(i) is in effect. For purposes of this section, Severance Pay
means the Company will continue to pay Executive an amount equal to Executives base salary as in
effect on his/her date of termination of employment from the Company (less applicable withholdings
and taxes) for the length of time in which Section 3(a)(i) is in effect. Severance Pay does not
include any other form of compensation such as bonuses, commissions, stock grants, stock options,
fringe benefits, company paid cell phone, automobile allowance, health or medical benefits, etc.
Severance Pay will be payable in regular intervals in accordance with the Companys payroll
practices. The Company will subtract from the Severance Pay: (1) the value of any compensation and
benefits (including but not limited to wages, salary, bonuses, allowances, commissions, stock and
stock options) Executive receives from any Competing Business; (2) the value of any severance pay,
separation pay and/or separation benefits Executive receives from the Company, including but not
limited to, any pay or benefits Executive receives under the Flowserve Corporation Transitional
Executive Security Plan, any pay or benefits Executive receives under the Flowserve Corporation
Reduction-in-Force Severance Benefits Plan, and any pay or benefits Executive receives under any
similar plans; and (3) any other monies Executive owes to the Company, its subsidiaries or
affiliates. If Executive accepts employment with another business which Flowserve
3
Exhibit 10.1
determines, in its sole discretion, is not a Competing Business while the Executive is
receiving Severance Pay, the Company may terminate the Severance Pay.
(d)
Tolling
. If Executive violates any of the restrictions contained in this
Section 3
, the restrictive period will be suspended and will not run in favor of Executive
until such time that Executive cures the violation to the satisfaction of the Company.
(e)
Notice
. If Executive, in the future, seeks or is offered employment, or any other
position or capacity with a Competing Business, Executive agrees to inform each new employer or
entity, before accepting employment, of the existence of the restrictions in
Section 2
and
Section 3.

Non-Competition Period, Executive agrees to give prior written notice to the Company of the name of
such person. The Company shall be entitled to advise such person of the provisions of
Section
2
and
Section
3 and to otherwise deal with such person to ensure that the provisions of
Section 2
and
Section 3
are enforced and duly discharged.
4.
Non-Disparagement
.

assets of great value to the Company which were obtained through great costs, time and effort.

employment, Executive will not in any way disparage, libel or defame the Company, its business or
business practices, its products or services, or its employees.

respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes any previous agreements, written or oral,
between Executive and the Company with regard to the subject matter of this Agreement. Nothing in

the Flowserve Code of Business Conduct and policies.

Partial Invalidity
.

provision of this Agreement to be invalid or unenforceable, such invalid or unenforceable
portion(s) shall be limited or excluded from this Agreement to the minimum extent required, and the
remaining provisions shall not be affected or invalidated and shall remain in full force and
effect.

Reformation
.

Section 2 and Section 3
shall survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement, and
agree further that in the event any of the covenants contained in
Section 2 or Section 3
shall be held by any court to be effective in any particular area or jurisdiction only if said
covenant is modified to limit its duration or scope, then the court shall have such authority to so
reform the covenant and the parties hereto shall consider such covenant(s) and/or other provisions
of
Section 2 and/or Section 3
to be amended and modified with respect to that particular
area or jurisdiction so as to comply with the order of any such court and, as to all other
jurisdictions, the covenants contained herein shall remain in full force and effect as originally
written. Alternatively, at the sole option of the Company, the Company may consider such
covenant(s) and/or provisions of
Section 2 and/or Section 3
to be amended and modified so
as to eliminate therefrom the particular area or jurisdiction as to which such covenants are so
held void or otherwise unenforceable and, as to all other areas and jurisdictions covered

written.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and conditions hereafter set forth

Stock will be issued in the name of the Participant immediately upon the
execution of this Agreement. Each of such Restricted Stock certificates will
bear a legend as provided by the Company, conspicuously referring to the terms,

Company may either deliver such Restricted Stock certificate(s) to the

assign, sell, pledge, encumber or charge any right or benefit hereunder, other
than as contemplated by Paragraph 6, or if any creditor shall attempt to

|
|
Effect of Termination of Employment or Services
|
|
(a)
|
|
The Restricted Stock granted pursuant to this Agreement shall
vest in accordance with the vesting schedule reflected in Paragraph 2(b) above,
as long as the Participant remains employed by or continues to provide services
to the Company or a Subsidiary. If, however, either:
|
|
(i)
|
|
the Company and its Subsidiaries terminate the
Participants employment (or if the Participant is not an Employee,
determine that the Participants services are no longer needed), or
|
|
|
(ii)
|
|
the Participant terminates employment (or if
the Participant is not an Employee, ceases to perform services for the
Company and its Subsidiaries),
|
|
|
|
then the shares of Restricted Stock that have not previously vested in
accordance with the vesting schedule reflected in Paragraph 2(b) above, as
of the date of such termination of employment (or cessation of services, as
applicable), shall be forfeited by the Participant to the Company.
|
|
|
(b)
|
|
Notwithstanding Paragraph 3(a) above, upon the cessation of the
Participants employment or services (whether voluntary or involuntary), the
Committee may, in its sole and absolute discretion, elect to accelerate the
vesting of some or all of the unvested shares of Restricted Stock.
|

|
4.
|
|
Forfeiture and Disgorgement Upon Competition
|
|
(a)
|
|
Notwithstanding any provisions in this Agreement to the
contrary, in the event either (A) the Participant violates the provisions of
Paragraph 4(b) or the provisions of any restrictive covenants agreement by and
between the Company or its subsidiaries and the Participant or (B) the
Participant, or anyone acting on the Participants behalf, brings a claim
against the Company seeking to declare any term of this Paragraph 4 void or
unenforceable or the provisions of any other restrictive covenants agreement by
and between the Company or its subsidiaries and the Participant void or
unenforceable, then:
|
|
(i)
|
|
the shares of Restricted Stock shall
immediately cease to vest and all shares of Restricted Stock that have
not previously vested in accordance with the vesting schedule reflected
in Paragraph 2(b) above, as of the date of such violation shall be
forfeited by the Participant to the Company;
|
|
|
(ii)
|
|
the Participant will immediately sell to the
Company all shares of Restricted Stock acquired by the Participant
pursuant to this Agreement that vested within the last twelve (12)
months and that Participant still owns on the date of such violation
for the Fair Market Value of such Restricted Stock on the date of sale
to the Company;
|
|
|
(iii)
|
|
the Participant will immediately pay to the
Company any gain that the Participant realized on the sale of shares of
Restricted Stock acquired pursuant to this Agreement and which vested
within the last twelve (12) months; and
|
|
|
(iv)
|
|
the Company shall be entitled to payment by the
Participant of its attorneys fees and costs incurred in enforcing the
provisions of Paragraph 4, in addition to any other legal remedies.
|
|
|
|
The provisions of this Paragraph 4 shall survive the termination or
expiration of this Agreement.
|
|
|
(b)
|
|
By execution of this Agreement, the Participant, either
individually or as a principal, partner, stockholder, manager, agent,
consultant, contractor, employee, lender, investor, volunteer or as a director
or officer of any corporation or association, or in any other manner or
capacity whatsoever, agrees to the following from the date of grant until the
date one (1) year immediately following his or her termination of employment
(for any reason):
|
|
|
|

The Participant shall not, whether directly or indirectly, without the
express prior written consent of the Company:
|
|
(i)
|
|
Non-Competition
|
|
|
|
|

purposes of this Agreement, Competing Business means any entity or
business that is in the business of providing flow management
products
|
3
|
|
|
and related repair and/or replacement services. Because the scope
and nature of the Companys business is international in scope and
the Participants job duties are international in scope, the
Restricted Area is worldwide. However, the Participant may own,
directly or indirectly, solely as an investment, securities of any
business traded on any national securities exchange or NASDAQ,
provided that the Participant is not a controlling person of, or
member of a group that controls such business, and provided further
that the Participant does not, directly or indirectly, own three
percent (3%) or more of any class of securities of such business;
|
|
|

|
|
|
|

business with any customer or prospective customer of the Company
with whom the Company transacted business or solicited within the
preceding twenty-four (24) months, and which either: (1) the
Participant contacted, called on, serviced, conducted business with
or had contact with during the Participants employment or that the
Participant attempted to contact, call on, service, or do business
with during the Participants employment; or (2) the Participant
became acquainted with or dealt with, for any reason, as a result of
the Participants employment with the Company. This restriction
applies only to business that is in the scope of services or products
provided by the Company; or
|
|
|
(iii)
|
|
Non-Recruitment
|
|
|
|
|
Hire, solicit for employment, induce or encourage to leave the
employment of the Company or its subsidiaries any current employee of
the Company or any former employee of the Company or its subsidiaries
whose employment ceased less than three (3) months earlier.

|
|

secrets or confidential or proprietary information of the Company,

|
|
|
(v)
|
|
any non-public matter or thing obtained or
ascertained by Participant through Participants association with the
Company, the use or disclosure of which might reasonably be construed
to be contrary to the best interests of the Company.
|
|
(d)
|
|
Non-Disclosure
|
|
|
|
|
In exchange for the Companys promise to provide Participant with
Confidential Information, Participant shall not, during the period of

business and which are in Participants possession, custody or control,
whether prepared by Participant or others. If at any time after termination
of Participants employment, for any reason, Participant determines that

such award agreements are hereby amended by the terms of this Paragraph 4.
|
|
5.
|
|
Limitation of Rights
|
|
|
|
|
Nothing in this Agreement or the Plan shall be construed to:
|
5
|
(a)
|
|
give the Participant any right to be awarded any further

Restricted Stock and other Awards are completely voluntary and made solely in
the discretion of the Committee;
|
|
|
(b)
|
|
give the Participant or any other person any interest in any
fund or in any specified asset or assets of the Company or any Subsidiary; or

Agreement if, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, such issuance would violate the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act) or any other applicable federal or state securities
laws or regulations. The Committee may require that the Participant, prior to the issuance of any
such shares, sign and deliver to the Company a written statement, which shall be in a form and

applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
Code), or its successors, or any other federal, state or local tax
withholding requirement. When the Company is required to withhold any amount
or amounts under the applicable provisions of the Code, the Company shall
withhold from the Common Stock to be issued to the Participant a number of
shares necessary to satisfy the Companys withholding obligations. The number
of shares of Common Stock to be withheld shall be based upon the Fair Market
Value of the shares on the date of withholding.

INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT
FLOWSERVE CORPORATION
2004 STOCK COMPENSATION PLAN
This Incentive Stock Option Agreement (the Agreement) is made and entered into by and
between Flowserve Corporation, a New York corporation (the Company) and
(the
Participant) as of
(the Date of Grant).
W I T N E S S E T H
WHEREAS, the Company has adopted the Flowserve Corporation 2004 Stock Compensation Plan (the
Plan) to strengthen the ability of the Company to attract, motivate and retain Employees, Outside
Directors and Consultants who possess superior capabilities and to encourage such persons to have a
proprietary interest in the Company; and
WHEREAS, the Organization and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company
believes that the granting of the Stock Option described herein to the Participant is consistent
with the stated purposes for which the Plan was adopted; and
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and conditions hereafter set forth
and for other good and valuable consideration, the Company and the Participant agree as follows:
The Company hereby grants to the Participant the right and option (the Stock Option) to
purchase an aggregate of
shares (the Shares) (such number being subject to adjustment as
provided in Paragraph 10 hereof) of the Common Stock of the Company (the Common Stock) on the
terms and conditions herein set forth. This Stock Option may be exercised in whole or in part and
from time to time hereinafter. This Stock Option is intended to qualify as an incentive stock
option within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
Code). Therefore, the Participant will be required to satisfy the holding period requirements
that apply with respect to the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Stock Option in order to
be eligible for the beneficial tax treatment afforded such a grant. To the extent the requisite
holding period requirements are not satisfied, this Stock Option shall be deemed a NonQualified
Stock Option (as defined in Section 2.17 of the Plan).
The price at which the Participant shall be entitled to purchase the Common Stock covered by
the Stock Option shall be $
per share.
The Stock Option granted hereby shall be and remain in force and effect during the Option
Period, which shall begin on the Date of Grant and end (the Expiration Date) on the first to
occur of:
1
|
(a)
|
|
the date that is ten (10) years from the Date of Grant; or
|
|
|
(b)
|
|
in the case of termination of employment with the Company or a
Subsidiary, any other date specified in Paragraph 7.
|
|
4.
|
|
Exercise of Stock Option
|
This Stock Option shall vest and become exercisable over three years and a day following the
Date of Grant in accordance with the following table; provided, however, that this Stock Option

Method of Exercising Stock Option
|
|
(a)
|
|
Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, this
Stock Option may be exercised by delivering written notice to the Organization
and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company, or any
officer or officers delegated with the authority to act on such Committees
behalf pursuant to Section 3.3 of the Plan (the Committee), setting forth:
|
|
(i)
|
|
the number of shares of Common Stock with
respect to which the Stock Option is to be exercised;
|
|
|
(ii)
|
|
the Exercise Date;
|
|
|

|
|
the method of payment elected (see Paragraph 6 hereof); and
|
|
|
(v)
|
|
the exact name in which the shares will be
registered.
|
|
(b)
|
|
The notice described in Paragraph 5(a) above must be signed by
the Participant and shall be accompanied by payment of the purchase price of
such Shares. If the Stock Option is exercised by a person or persons other
than the Participant pursuant to Paragraph 7 hereof, such notice must be signed
by such other person or persons and must be accompanied by proof acceptable to
the Committee of the legal right of such person or persons to exercise the
Stock Option.
|
|
6.
|
|
Method of Payment for the Stock Option
|
|
(a)
|
|
As a general rule, the full purchase price for the Shares
purchased upon the exercise of the Stock Option (i.e., the number of shares
being purchased multiplied by the price per share) must be paid in cash. The
Committee may, however, in its discretion, allow the Participant to pay for the
Common Stock:
|
2
|
(i)
|
|
in an equivalent acceptable to the Committee;
|
|
|
(ii)
|
|
by assigning and delivering to the Company
shares of Common Stock owned by the Participant or by surrendering
another Award; or
|
|
|
(iii)
|
|
by combination of cash, Common Stock or one or
more Awards equal in value to the purchase price.
|
|
|
|
|
In addition, at the request of the Participant and to the extent
permitted by applicable law, the Committee may approve an arrangement
with a brokerage firm, under which the brokerage firm, on behalf of
the Participant, will pay for shares of Stock purchased upon the
exercise of the Stock Option.
|
|
|
|
In addition, at the request of the Participant and to the extent permitted
by applicable law, the Committee may approve an arrangement with a brokerage
firm, under which the brokerage firm, on behalf of the Participant, will pay
for shares of Stock purchased upon the exercise of the Stock Option.
|
|
|
(b)
|
|
For purposes of this Agreement, any Common Stock used or Award
surrendered to pay all or a part of the purchase price of the Stock Option will
be valued at the Fair Market Value on the exercise date. Further, such payment
must be accompanied by an assignment of such Common Stock on a duly executed
stock power, which is on a form separate from the certificate(s) for the Common
Stock, authorizing the transfer of such shares to the Company.
|
|
7.
|
|
Termination of Employment
|
Subject to the provisions of Paragraph 9 hereof, the Option Period will end and the Stock
Option, whether or not then exercisable, will lapse upon the termination of employment of a
Participant as follows:
|
(a)
|
|
If the termination of employment is due to any reason other
than Cause (as defined in Paragraph 7(b)), death, Disability (as defined in
Paragraph 7(c)) or Retirement (as defined in Paragraph 7(d)), the Participant
may continue to exercise the Stock Option, in whole or in part, until the
earliest of:
|
|
(i)
|
|
the date specified in Paragraph 3(a); or
|
|
|
(ii)
|
|
the date which is six (6) months following the
latter of the last date of active employment or the release or lapse of
trading restrictions, provided, however, that to the extent the
exercise date is more than three (3) months after the last date of
active employment, the Stock Option will be a NonQualified Stock
Option.
|
|
(b)
|
|
If the termination of employment is due to Cause (as defined in
this Paragraph 7(b)), the Option Period shall end, and the Stock Option
shall cease to be exercisable, as of the date of termination of the
Participants employment. Cause shall, in all cases, be determined by the
Committee, in its sole and absolute discretion, and shall mean the willful and
continued failure to substantially perform the duties of employment (other than
due to death or
|
3
|
|
|
Disability), willful conduct that is injurious to the Company or a
Subsidiary, any act of dishonesty, the commission of a felony or violation
of any legal duty to the Company or a Subsidiary.
|
|
|
(c)
|
|
In the event of the Participants death or total and permanent
disability (Disability), the Participant (or in the case of death, the
Participants designated beneficiary) may continue to exercise the Stock
Option, in whole or in part, until the earliest of:
|
|
(i)
|
|
the date specified in Paragraph 3(a); or
|
|
|
(ii)
|
|
the date which is one (1) year following the
Participants death or Disability (as determined by the Committee).
|
|
(d)
|
|
In the event of the Participants Retirement (as defined in
this Paragraph 7(d)), the Participant may continue to exercise the Stock
Option, to the extent then vested, in whole or in part, until the earlier of:
(i) the expiration of the term of the Stock Option (as specified in Paragraph
3) or (ii) five (5) years after the Participants Retirement date, but only if,
and so long as, the Participant shall refrain from competing against the
Company or any Subsidiary. To the extent not exercised within three (3) months
after the Participants Retirement, the Stock Option will cease to be treated
as an incentive stock option (unless, under the law governing incentive stock
options as then in effect, the Stock Option may continue to be accorded
incentive stock options as then in effect, the Stock Option may continue to be
accorded incentive stock option treatment for a period longer or shorter than
three (3) months after Retirement). Retirement shall, in all cases, be
determined by the Committee, in its sole and absolute discretion, and shall
mean the Participants termination of employment with the Company and all
Subsidiaries after reaching age sixty (60) with at least ten (10) years of
service with the Company or a Subsidiary.

Forfeiture and Disgorgement Upon Competition
|
|
(a)
|
|
Notwithstanding any provisions in this Agreement to the
contrary, in the event either (A) the Participant violates the provisions of
Paragraph 8(b) or the provisions of any restrictive covenants agreement by and
between the Company or its subsidiaries and the Participant or (B) the
Participant, or anyone acting on the Participants behalf, brings a claim
against the Company seeking to declare any term of this Paragraph 8 void or
unenforceable or the provisions of any other restrictive covenants agreement by
and between the Company or its subsidiaries and the Participant void or
unenforceable, then:
|
|
(i)
|
|
the Stock Option will immediately cease to vest
and any portion of the Stock Option that has not previously vested as
of the date of such violation shall be forfeited by the Participant to
the Company;
|
|
|
(ii)
|
|
the Participant will immediately sell to the
Company all shares acquired by the Participant pursuant to the exercise
of any portion of the Stock Option that vested within the last twelve
(12) months and that the Participant still owns on the date of such
violation for the lesser of (a) the
|
4
|
|
|
exercise price paid by the Participant for such Shares or (b) the
Fair Market Value of such Shares on the date of sale to the Company;
|
|
|
(iii)
|
|
the Participant will immediately pay to the
Company any gain that the Participant realized on the sale of any
Shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of the Stock Option and which
vested within the last twelve (12) months; and

the Company shall be entitled to payment by the
Participant of its attorneys fees and costs incurred in enforcing the
provisions of this Paragraph 8, in addition to any other legal
remedies.

By execution of this Agreement, the Participant, either
individually or as a principal, partner, stockholder, manager, agent,
consultant, contractor, employee, lender, investor, volunteer or as a director
or officer of any corporation or association, or in any other manner or
capacity whatsoever, agrees to the following from the date of grant until the
date one (1) year immediately following his or her termination of employment
(for any reason):

The Participant shall not, whether directly or indirectly, without the express prior

|
|
(i)
|
|
Non-Competition
|
|
|

Become employed by, advise, perform services or otherwise engage in
any capacity with a Competing Business in the Restricted Area. For
purposes of this Agreement, Competing Business means any entity or
business that is in the business of providing flow management
products and related repair and/or replacement services. Because the
scope and nature of the Companys business is international in scope
and the Participants job duties are international in scope, the
Restricted Area is worldwide. However, the Participant may own,
directly or indirectly, solely as an investment, securities of any
business traded on any national securities exchange or NASDAQ,
provided that the Participant is not a controlling person of, or
member of a group that controls such business, and provided further
that the Participant does not, directly or indirectly, own three
percent (3%) or more of any class of securities of such business;
|
|
|
(ii)
|
|

business with any customer or prospective customer of the Company
with whom the Company transacted business or solicited within the
preceding twenty-four (24) months, and which either: (1) the
Participant contacted, called on, serviced, conducted business with
or had contact with during the Participants employment or that the
Participant attempted to contact, call on, service, or do business
with during the Participants employment; or (2) the Participant
became acquainted with or dealt with, for any reason, as a result of
the Participants employment
|
5
|
|
|
with the Company. This restriction applies only to business that is
in the scope of services or products provided by the Company; or
|
|
|
(iii)
|
|
Non-Recruitment
|
|
|
|
|
Hire, solicit for employment, induce or encourage to leave the
employment of the Company or any of its subsidiaries any current

less than three (3) months earlier.
|
|
(c)
|
|

|
|
|
|

Immediately upon the Participants execution of this Agreement, and
continuing on an ongoing basis during the Participants employment, the
Company agrees to provide the Participant with new Confidential Information

includes any trade secrets or confidential or proprietary information of the
Company, including, but not limited to, the following:
|
|
(i)
|

relationships with the Company or who are prospects for business
relationships with the Company; and
|
|
|
(v)
|
|
Any non-public matter or thing obtained or
ascertained by the Participant through the Participants association
with the Company, the use or disclosure of which might reasonably be
construed to be contrary to the best interests of the Company.
|
|
(d)
|
|
Non-Disclosure
|
|
|
|
|
In exchange for the Companys promise to provide the Participant with
Confidential Information, the Participant shall not, during the period of
the Participants employment or at any time thereafter, disclose to anyone,

publish, or use for any purpose, any Confidential Information, except as:
(i) required in the ordinary course of the Companys business or the
Participants work for the Company; (ii) required by law; or (iii) directed

Participants employment for any reason, the Participant shall immediately
return and deliver to the Company any and all Confidential Information,
computers, hard-drives, papers, books, records, documents, memoranda,
manuals, e-mail, electronic or magnetic recordings or data, including all
copies thereof, which belong to the Company or relate to the Companys
business and which are in the Participants possession, custody or control,
whether prepared by the Participant or others. If at any time after
termination of the Participants employment, for any reason, the Participant
determines that the Participant has any Confidential Information in the
Participants possession or control, the Participant shall immediately
return to the Company all such Confidential Information in the Participants
possession or control, including all copies and portions thereof.
|
|
(e)
|
|
By execution of this Agreement, the Participant agrees that the
provisions of this Paragraph 8 shall apply to all grants (including, without
limitation, grants of incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options and
restricted stock) made to the Participant pursuant to the Plan in 2006 and, to
the extent the provisions of such grants are inconsistent with any of the
provisions of this Paragraph 8, the Company and the Participant agree that (i)
the provisions of this Paragraph 8 shall control and (ii) the provisions of any
such award agreements are hereby amended by the terms of this Paragraph 8.
|
|
|
(f)
|
|
The provisions of Paragraph 8 shall survive the termination or
expiration of this Agreement.
|
The Stock Option granted by this Agreement may only be exercisable during the term of the
Option Period provided in Paragraph 3 hereof and, except as provided in Paragraph 7, only by the
Participant during the Participants lifetime. No Stock Option granted by this Agreement is
transferable by the Participant other than by will or pursuant to applicable laws of descent and
distribution. The Stock Option and any rights and privileges in connection therewith, cannot be
transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated by operation of law, or otherwise, and is not
otherwise subject to execution, attachment, garnishment or similar process. In the event of such
occurrence, this Agreement will automatically terminate and will thereafter be null and void.
|
10.
|
|
Adjustments in Number of Shares and Option Price; Change in Control
|
Except as provided below, in the event that the outstanding Common Stock of the Company is
increased, decreased, or exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or other securities, or
if additional, new or different shares or securities are distributed with respect to the Common
Stock through merger, consolidation, sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company,
reorganization, recapitalization, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or other
distribution with respect to such Common Stock, each remaining share of Common Stock subject to
this Stock Option will be substituted utilizing the principles set forth in Section 424(a) of the
Code.
7
No shares of Common Stock shall be delivered to the Participant upon the exercise of the Stock
Option until:
|
(a)
|
|
the purchase price is paid in full in the manner herein
provided, if applicable;
|
|
|
(b)
|
|
all of the applicable taxes required to be withheld have been
paid or withheld in full;
|
|
|
(c)
|
|
the approval of any governmental authority required in
connection with the Stock Option, or the issuance of shares thereunder, has
been received by the Company; and
|
|
|
(d)
|
|
if required by the Committee, the Participant has delivered to
the Committee an Investment Letter in form and content satisfactory to the
Company as provided in Paragraph 12 hereof.
|
The Company will not be required to deliver any shares of Common Stock pursuant to the
exercise of all or any part of the Stock Option if, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, such
issuance would violate the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act) or any other
applicable federal or state securities laws or regulations. The Committee may require that the
Participant, prior to the issuance of any such shares pursuant to exercise of the Stock Option sign
and deliver to the Company a written statement (Investment Letter):
|
(a)
|
|
stating that the Participant is purchasing the shares for
investment and not with a view to the sale or distribution thereof;
|
|
|
(b)
|
|
stating that the Participant will not sell any shares of Common
Stock that the Participant may then own or thereafter acquire except either:
|
|
(i)
|
|
through a broker on a national securities
exchange; or
|
|
|
(ii)
|
|
with the prior written approval of the Company;
and
|
|
(c)
|
|
containing such other terms and conditions as counsel for the
Company may reasonably require to assure compliance with the Securities Act or
other applicable federal or state securities laws and regulations.
|
|
|
|
|
Such Investment Letter shall be in a form and content acceptable to the
Committee, in its sole discretion.
|
|
13.
|
|
Federal and State Taxes
|
|
(a)
|
|
Upon the exercise of the Stock Option, or any part thereof, the
Participant may incur certain liabilities for federal, state or local taxes and
the Company may be required by law to withhold such taxes for payment to taxing
authorities. Upon a determination by the Company that an amount is required to
be withheld in order to satisfy federal, state or local taxes, absent an
election described in by the
|
8
|
|
|
Participant to the contrary, the Company shall withhold from the Common
Stock to be issued to the Participant a number of shares necessary to
satisfy the Companys withholding obligations. The number of shares of
Common Stock to be withheld shall be based upon the Fair Market Value of the
shares on the date of withholding.
|
|
|
(b)
|
|
Notwithstanding Paragraph 13(a) above, if the Participant
elects, and the Committee agrees, the Companys withholding obligations may
instead by satisfied as follows:
|
|
(i)
|
|
the Participant may direct the Company to
withhold cash that is otherwise payable to the Participant;
|
|
|
(ii)
|
|
the Participant may deliver to the Company a
sufficient number of shares of Common Stock then owned by the
Participant to satisfy the Companys withholding obligations, based on
the Fair Market Value of the shares as of the date of withholding;
|
|
|
(iii)
|
|
the Participant may deliver sufficient cash to
the Company to satisfy its withholding obligations; or
|
|
|
(iv)
|
|
any combination of the alternatives described
in Paragraphs 13(b)(i) through 13(b)(iii) above.
|
|
(c)
|
|
Authorization of the Participant to the Company to withhold
taxes pursuant to one or more of the alternatives described in Paragraph 13(b)
above must be in a form and content acceptable to the Committee. The payment
or authorization to withhold taxes by the Participant shall be completed prior
to the deliver of any shares pursuant to this Agreement. An authorization to
withhold taxes pursuant to this provision will be irrevocable unless and until
the tax liability of the Participant has been fully paid.
|
|
14.
|
|

|
Except as specifically provided otherwise herein, all capitalized terms used in this Agreement
shall have the same meanings ascribed to them in the Plan. By the execution of this Agreement, the
Participant acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan.

9
a Subsidiary (as applicable), in its sole discretion, to terminate the employment of the
Participant at any time.

The Participant shall have no obligation to exercise any Stock Option granted by this
Agreement.
Any notice to be given to the Company or the Committee shall be addressed to the Company in

consent (of either party) may be withheld for any reason.
The Company may terminate the Plan at any time; however, such termination will not modify the
terms and conditions of the Stock Option granted hereunder without the Participants consent.

Exhibit 10.5
NONQUALIFIED STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT
FLOWSERVE CORPORATION
2004 STOCK COMPENSATION PLAN
This Nonqualified Stock Option Agreement (the Agreement) is made and entered into by and
between Flowserve Corporation, a New York corporation (the Company) and
(the
Participant) as of

W I T N E S S E T H
WHEREAS, the Company has adopted the Flowserve Corporation 2004 Stock Compensation Plan (the

Directors and Consultants who possess superior capabilities and to encourage such persons to have a
proprietary interest in the Company; and
WHEREAS, the Organization and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company
believes that the granting of the Stock Option described herein to the Participant is consistent
with the stated purposes for which the Plan was adopted; and
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and conditions hereafter set forth
and for other good and valuable consideration, the Company and the Participant agree as follows:
The Company hereby grants to the Participant the right and option (the Stock Option) to
purchase an aggregate of
shares (the Shares) (such number being subject to adjustment as
provided in Paragraph 10 hereof) of the Common Stock of the Company (the Common Stock) on the
terms and conditions herein set forth. This Stock Option may be exercised in whole or in part and
from time to time hereinafter. This Stock Option is not intended to qualify as an incentive stock
option within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
Code). Therefore, the Participant will not be required to satisfy any specific holding period
requirements that might otherwise apply with respect to the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of
the Stock Option.
The price at which the Participant shall be entitled to purchase the Common Stock covered by
the Stock Option shall be $

The Stock Option granted hereby shall be and remain in force and effect during the Option
Period, which shall begin on the Date of Grant and end (the Expiration Date) on the first to
occur of:
|
(a)
|
|
the date that is ten (10) years from the Date of Grant; or
|
|
|

Method of Exercising Stock Option
|
|
(a)
|
|
Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, this
Stock Option may be exercised by delivering written notice to the Organization
and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company, or any
officer or officers delegated with the authority to act on such Committees
behalf pursuant to Section 3.3 of the Plan (the Committee), setting forth:
|
|
(i)
|
|
the number of shares of Common Stock with
respect to which the Stock Option is to be exercised;
|
|
|
(ii)
|
|
the Exercise Date;
|
|
|
(iii)
|
|
the Social Security number of the Participant;
|
|
|
(iv)
|
|
the method of payment elected (see Paragraph 6 hereof); and
|
|
|
(v)
|
|
the exact name in which the shares will be
registered.
|
|
(b)
|
|
The notice described in Paragraph 5(a) above must be signed by
the Participant and shall be accompanied by payment of the purchase price of
such Shares. If the Stock Option is exercised by a person or persons other
than the Participant pursuant to Paragraph 7 hereof, such notice must be signed
by such other person or persons and must be accompanied by proof acceptable to
the Committee of the legal right of such person or persons to exercise the
Stock Option.
|
|
6.
|
|
Method of Payment for the Stock Option
|
|
(a)
|
|
As a general rule, the full purchase price for the Shares
purchased upon the exercise of the Stock Option (i.e., the number of shares
being purchased multiplied by the price per share) must be paid in cash. The
Committee may, however, in its discretion, allow the Participant to pay for the
Common Stock:
|
|
(i)
|
|
in an equivalent acceptable to the Committee;
|
|
|
(ii)
|
|
by assigning and delivering to the Company
shares of Common Stock owned by the Participant or by surrendering
another Award; or
|
2
|
(iii)
|
|
by combination of cash, Common Stock or one or
more Awards equal in value to the purchase price.
|
|
|
|
|
In addition, at the request of the Participant and to the extent
permitted by applicable law, the Committee may approve an arrangement
with a brokerage firm, under which the brokerage firm, on behalf of
the Participant, will pay for shares of Stock purchased upon the
exercise of the Stock Option.
|
|
|
|
In addition, at the request of the Participant and to the extent permitted
by applicable law, the Committee may approve an arrangement with a brokerage
firm, under which the brokerage firm, on behalf of the Participant, will pay
for shares of Stock purchased upon the exercise of the Stock Option.
|
|
|
(b)
|
|
For purposes of this Agreement, any Common Stock used or Award
surrendered to pay all or a part of the purchase price of the Stock Option will
be valued at the Fair Market Value on the exercise date. Further, such payment
must be accompanied by an assignment of such Common Stock on a duly executed
stock power, which is on a form separate from the certificate(s) for the Common
Stock, authorizing the transfer of such shares to the Company.
|
|
7.
|
|
Termination of Employment
|
The Option Period will end and the Stock Option, whether or not then exercisable, will lapse
upon the termination of employment of a Participant as follows:
|
(a)
|
|
If the termination of employment is due to any reason other
than Cause (as defined in Paragraph 7(b)), death, Disability (as defined in
Paragraph 7(c)) or Retirement (as defined in Paragraph 7(d)), the Participant
may continue to exercise the Stock Option, in whole or in part, until the
earliest of:
|
|
(i)
|
|
the date specified in Paragraph 3(a); or
|
|
|
(ii)
|
|
the date which is six (6) months following the
latter of the last date of active employment or the release or lapse of
trading restrictions.
|
|
(b)
|
|
If the termination of employment is due to Cause (as defined in
this Paragraph 7(b)), the Option Period shall end, and the Stock Option
shall cease to be exercisable, as of the date of termination of the
Participants employment. Cause shall, in all cases, be determined by the
Committee, in its sole and absolute discretion, and shall mean the willful and
continued failure to substantially perform the duties of employment (other than
due to death or Disability), willful conduct that is injurious to the Company
or a Subsidiary, any act of dishonesty, the commission of a felony or violation
of any legal duty to the Company or a Subsidiary.
|
|
|
(c)
|
|
In the event of the Participants death or total and permanent
disability (Disability), the Participant (or in the case of death, the
Participants designated beneficiary) may continue to exercise the Stock
Option, in whole or in part, until the earliest of:
|
3
|
(i)
|
|
the date specified in Paragraph 3(a); or
|
|
|
(ii)
|
|
the date which is one (1) year following the
Participants death or Disability (as determined by the Committee).
|
|
(d)
|
|
In the event of the Participants Retirement (as defined in
this Paragraph 7(d)), the Participant may continue to exercise the Stock
Option, to the extent then vested, in whole or in part, until the earlier of:
(i) the expiration of the term of the Stock Option (as specified in Paragraph
3) or (ii) five (5) years after the Participants Retirement date, but only if,
and so long as, the Participant shall refrain from competing against the
Company or any Subsidiary. Retirement shall, in all cases, be determined by
the Committee, in its sole and absolute discretion, and shall mean the
Participants termination of employment with the Company and all Subsidiaries
after reaching age sixty (60) with at least ten (10) years of service with the
Company or a Subsidiary.
|
|
8.
|
|
Forfeiture and Disgorgement Upon Competition
|
|
(a)
|
|
Notwithstanding any provisions in this Agreement to the
contrary, in the event either (A) the Participant violates the provisions of
Paragraph 8(b) or the provisions of any restrictive covenants agreement by and
between the Company or its subsidiaries and the Participant or (B) the
Participant or anyone acting on the Participants behalf brings a claim against
the Company seeking to declare any term of this Paragraph 8 void or
unenforceable or the provisions of any other restrictive covenants agreement by
and between the Company or its subsidiaries and the Participant void or
unenforceable, then:
|
|
(i)
|
|
the Stock Option will immediately cease to vest
and any portion of the Stock Option that has not previously vested as
of the date of such violation shall be forfeited by the Participant to
the Company;

construed to be contrary to the best interests of the Company.
|

|
Non-Disclosure

In exchange for the Companys promise to provide the Participant with
Confidential Information, the Participant shall not, during the period of

By execution of this Agreement, the Participant agrees that the
provisions of this Paragraph 8 shall apply to all grants (including, without
limitation, grants of incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options and
restricted stock) made to the Participant pursuant to the Plan in 2006 and, to
the extent the provisions of such grants are inconsistent with any of the
provisions of this Paragraph 8, the Company and the Participant agree that (i)
the provisions of this Paragraph 8 shall control and (ii) the provisions of any
such award agreements are hereby amended by the terms of this Paragraph 8.
|
|
|
(f)
|
|
The provisions of Paragraph 8 shall survive the termination or
expiration of this Agreement.
|
The Stock Option granted by this Agreement may only be exercisable during the term of the
Option Period provided in Paragraph 3 hereof and, except as provided in Paragraph 7, only by the
Participant during the Participants lifetime. No Stock Option granted by this Agreement is
transferable by the Participant other than by will or pursuant to applicable laws of descent and
distribution. The Stock Option and any rights and privileges in connection therewith, cannot be
transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated by operation of law, or otherwise, and is not
otherwise subject to execution, attachment, garnishment or similar process. In the event of such
occurrence, this Agreement will automatically terminate and will thereafter be null and void.
|

|
|
Adjustments in Number of Shares and Option Price; Change in Control
|
Except as provided below, in the event that the outstanding Common Stock of the Company is
increased, decreased, or exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or other securities, or
if additional, new or different shares or securities are distributed with respect to the Common
Stock through merger, consolidation, sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company,
reorganization, recapitalization, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or other
distribution with respect to such Common Stock, each remaining share of Common Stock subject to
this Stock Option will be substituted utilizing the principles set forth in Section 424(a) of the
Code.
No shares of Common Stock shall be delivered to the Participant upon the exercise of the Stock
Option until:
|
(a)
|
|
the purchase price is paid in full in the manner herein
provided, if applicable;
|
|
|
(b)
|
|
all of the applicable taxes required to be withheld have been
paid or withheld in full;
|
|
|
(c)
|
|
the approval of any governmental authority required in
connection with the Stock Option, or the issuance of shares thereunder, has
been received by the Company; and
|
|
|
(d)
|
|
if required by the Committee, the Participant has delivered to
the Committee an Investment Letter in form and content satisfactory to the
Company as provided in Paragraph 12 hereof.
|
7
The Company will not be required to deliver any shares of Common Stock pursuant to the
exercise of all or any part of the Stock Option if, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, such
issuance would violate the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act) or any other
applicable federal or state securities laws or regulations. The Committee may require that the
Participant, prior to the issuance of any such shares pursuant to exercise of the Stock Option sign
and deliver to the Company a written statement (Investment Letter):
|
(a)
|
|
stating that the Participant is purchasing the shares for
investment and not with a view to the sale or distribution thereof;
|
|
|
(b)
|
|
stating that the Participant will not sell any shares of Common
Stock that the Participant may then own or thereafter acquire except either:
|
|
(i)
|
|
through a broker on a national securities
exchange; or
|
|
|
(ii)
|
|
with the prior written approval of the Company;
and
|
|
(c)
|
|
containing such other terms and conditions as counsel for the
Company may reasonably require to assure compliance with the Securities Act or
other applicable federal or state securities laws and regulations.
|
|
|
|
|
Such Investment Letter shall be in a form and content acceptable to the
Committee, in its sole discretion.
|
|
13.
|
|
Federal and State Taxes
|
|
(a)
|
|
Upon the exercise of the Stock Option, or any part thereof, the
Participant may incur certain liabilities for federal, state or local taxes and
the Company may be required by law to withhold such taxes for payment to taxing
authorities. Upon a determination by the Company that an amount is required to
be withheld in order to satisfy federal, state or local taxes, absent an
election described in by the Participant to the contrary, the Company shall
withhold from the Common Stock to be issued to the Participant a number of
shares necessary to satisfy the Companys withholding obligations. The number
of shares of Common Stock to be withheld shall be based upon the Fair Market
Value of the shares on the date of withholding.
|
|
|
(b)
|
|
Notwithstanding Paragraph 13(a) above, if the Participant
elects, and the Committee agrees, the Companys withholding obligations may
instead by satisfied as follows:
|
|
(i)
|
|
the Participant may direct the Company to
withhold cash that is otherwise payable to the Participant;
|
|
|
(ii)
|
|
the Participant may deliver to the Company a
sufficient number of shares of Common Stock then owned by the
Participant to satisfy the Companys withholding obligations, based on
the Fair Market Value of the shares as of the date of withholding;
|
8
|
(iii)
|
|
the Participant may deliver sufficient cash to
the Company to satisfy its withholding obligations; or
|
|
|
(iv)
|
|
any combination of the alternatives described
in Paragraphs 13(b)(i) through 13(b)(iii) above.
|
|
(c)
|
|
Authorization of the Participant to the Company to withhold
taxes pursuant to one or more of the alternatives described in Paragraph 13(b)
above must be in a form and content acceptable to the Committee. The payment
or authorization to withhold taxes by the Participant shall be completed prior
to the deliver of any shares pursuant to this Agreement. An authorization to
withhold taxes pursuant to this provision will be irrevocable unless and until
the tax liability of the Participant has been fully paid.
|
|
14.
|
|

shall have the same meanings ascribed to them in the Plan. By the execution of this Agreement, the
Participant acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan.

Subsidiary (as applicable), in its sole discretion, to terminate the employment of the Participant
at any time.

shall have any right, title or interest in any shares of Common Stock allocated or reserved under

delivered personally or shall be sent by first class mail, postage prepaid, to the Company.

Participant. Any such amendment shall be made only upon the mutual consent of the parties, which
consent (of either party) may be withheld for any reason.
The Company may terminate the Plan at any time; however, such termination will not modify the
terms and conditions of the Stock Option granted hereunder without the Participants consent.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Agreement to be duly executed by its officers
thereunto duly authorized, and the Participant has hereunto set his hand as of the day and year
