3 ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS The Business Corporation Law of the State of New York ("BCL") provides that if a derivative action is brought against a director or officer, the Registrant may indemnify him or her against amounts paid in settlement and reasonable expenses, including attorneys' fees incurred by him or her in connection with the defense or settlement of such action, if such director or officer acted on good faith for a purpose which he or she reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the Registrant, except that no indemnification shall be made without court approval in respect of a threatened action, or a pending action settled or otherwise disposed of, or in respect of any matter as to which such director or officer has been found liable to the Registrant. In a nonderivative action or threatened action, the BCL provides that the Registrant may indemnify a director or officer against judgments, fines, amounts paid in settlement and reasonable expenses, including attorneys' fees incurred by him or her in defending such action if such director or officer acted in good faith for a purpose which he or she reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the Registrant. Under the BCL, a director or officer who is successful, either in a derivative or nonderivative action, is entitled to indemnification as outlined above. Under any other circumstances, such director or officer may be indemnified only if certain conditions specified in the BCL are met. The indemnification provisions of the BCL are not exclusive of any other rights to which a director or officer seeking indemnification may be entitled pursuant to the provisions of the certificate of incorporation or the by-laws of a corporation or, when authorized by such certificate of incorporation or by-laws, pursuant to a shareholders' resolution, a directors' resolution or an agreement providing for such indemnification. The above is a general summary of certain indemnity provisions of the BCL and is subject, in all cases, to the specific and detailed provisions of Sections 721-725 of the BCL. Article IX, Section 1 of Flowserve's By-laws provides that the Registrant shall indemnify any present or future director or officer from and against any and all liabilities and expenses to the maximum extent permitted by the BCL as the same presently exists or to the greater extent permitted by any amendment hereafter adopted. Section 726 of the BCL also contains provisions authorizing the Registrant to obtain insurance on behalf of any such director and officer against liabilities, whether or not the Registrant would have the power to indemnify against such liabilities. As permitted by law, the Registrant maintains and pays premiums for directors' and officers' liability insurance policies. ITEM 7. EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION CLAIMED Not applicable. 2

UNDERTAKINGS (a) The Registrant hereby undertakes: (1) to file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement: (i) to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act"); (ii) to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration Statement; (iii) to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to such information in the Registration Statement. 3

5 provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement. (2) that, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. (3) to remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering. (b) That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Act, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. (c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. 4
