Item 5.03. Amendments to Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
     As previously reported on a Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 14, 2006 (the “Initial 8-K”), the Rights Agreement between Flowserve Corporation (“Flowserve”) and National City Bank, as successor rights agent, dated as of August 1, 1986, as amended (the “Rights Agreement”), expired pursuant to its terms at the close of business on August 13, 2006, and the Board of Directors of Flowserve (the “Board”) has determined that it is advisable and in the best interests of Flowserve not to extend or renew the Rights Agreement. In connection therewith, the Board authorized certain amendments to Flowserve’s Certificate of Incorporation, as amended and restated (the “Certificate of Incorporation”). These amendments, as described in the Initial 8-K, (i) eliminate the designation of, and all references to, the Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock provided for by the Rights Agreement, (ii) reflect a change in the location of the office of Flowserve from “Town of Evans, Erie County, State of New York” to “New York County, State of New York”, (iii) change the post office address to which the Secretary of State of New York (the “Secretary of State”) shall mail a copy of any process against Flowserve served upon him from “The Duriron Company, Inc., c/o Smith & Schnacke, 2000 Courthouse Plaza NE, P.O. Box 1817, Dayton, Ohio 45401-1817” to “Flowserve Corporation, c/o CT Corporation System, 111 Eighth Avenue, New York, New York 10011” and (iv) reflect a change in the address of CT Corporation System, as the registered agent of Flowserve, from “277 Park Avenue, New York, New York 10017” to “111 Eighth Avenue, New York, New York 10011”. In addition, the Board authorized a restatement of the Certificate of Incorporation, as amended.
     On August 14, 2006, Flowserve provided a Restated Certificate of Incorporation to the Secretary of State setting forth these amendments and restating the Certificate of Incorporation. A copy of this Restated Certificate of Incorporation was attached as an exhibit to the Initial 8-K and described as effective as of August 14, 2006. Despite communications to Flowserve to the contrary, the Secretary of State did not accept this Restated Certificate of Incorporation. After a series of discussions with the office of the Secretary of State, Flowserve revised two of the amendments set forth in the Restated Certificate of Incorporation so that, respectively, they (i) change the post office address to which the Secretary of State shall mail a copy of any process against Flowserve served upon him from “Flowserve Corporation, General Counsel, 5215 N. O’Connor Blvd., Suite 2300, Irving, Texas 75039” (as set forth in the files of the Secretary of State) to “Flowserve Corporation, c/o CT Corporation System, 111 Eighth Avenue, New York, New York 10011” and (ii) reflect a change in the address of CT Corporation System, as the registered agent of Flowserve, from “1633 Broadway, New York, New York 10019” (as set forth in the files of the Secretary of State) to “111 Eighth Avenue, New York, New York 10011”. The revised “Restated Certificate of Incorporation of Flowserve Corporation”, effective August 15, 2006, a copy of which is attached as an exhibit hereto, was filed with and accepted by the Secretary of State on August 15, 2006.
     This Form 8-K/A is being filed to amend the Initial 8-K to reflect the Restated Certificate of Incorporation actually accepted by the Secretary of State. At the time the Initial 8-K was filed, Flowserve believed that the Restated Certificate of Incorporation filed on August 14, 2006, had been accepted by the Secretary of State.

Exhibit 3(i)
RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION
OF
FLOWSERVE CORPORATION
Under Section 807 of the Business Corporation Law
     Pursuant to the provisions of Section 807 of the Business Corporation Law, I, the undersigned officer of FLOWSERVE CORPORATION, a New York corporation (the “Corporation”), do hereby certify:
     1. The name of the Corporation is Flowserve Corporation. The name under which the Corporation was formed was Duriron Castings Company.
     2. The Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation was filed by the Department of State on May 1, 1912.
     3. The amendments to the Certificate of Incorporation effected by this Certificate are as follows:
     Article THIRD of the Certificate of Incorporation is hereby amended by deleting part (b), hereby eliminating the designation of, and all references to, the Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock in the Certificate of Incorporation.
     Article FIFTH of the Certificate of Incorporation is hereby amended to reflect a change in the location of the office of the Corporation from “Town of Evans, Erie County, State of New York” to “New York County, State of New York”.
     Article SIXTH of the Certificate of Incorporation is hereby amended to change the post office address to which the Secretary of State of New York shall mail a copy of any process against the Corporation served upon him from “Flowserve Corporation, General Counsel, 5215 N. O’Connor Blvd., Suite 2300, Irving, Texas 75039” to “Flowserve Corporation, c/o CT Corporation System, 111 Eighth Avenue, New York, New York 10011”.
     Article TENTH of the Certificate of Incorporation is hereby amended to reflect a change in the address of CT Corporation System, as the registered agent of the Corporation, from “1633 Broadway, New York, New York 10019” to “111 Eighth Avenue, New York, New York 10011”.
     4. As a result of the amendment to Article THIRD, the number of shares of the Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock, par value $1.00 each, that the Corporation has designated for issuance is decreased from 150,000 to zero. No change in the number of outstanding shares of the Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock results from such amendment as no shares of the Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock are outstanding at the time of such amendment. The number of shares of Preferred Stock, of the par value of $1.00 each, that the Corporation is authorized to issue as a result of such

 
amendment shall be unchanged from 1,000,000. The amendment eliminates the designation of the Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock only. These shares will remain as Preferred Stock.
     5. To accomplish the foregoing amendments, the text of the Certificate of Incorporation is hereby restated as amended in its entirety to read as set forth in the Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation as hereinafter restated.
     6. The restatement of the Certificate of Incorporation herein provided for was authorized by the unanimous vote of the directors present at a regular meeting of the Board of Directors of the Corporation duly convened and held on July 20, 2006.
     The text of the Certificate of Incorporation is hereby restated in its entirety to read as follows:
