PREAMBLE
On October 1, 1987, THE DURIRON COMPANY, predecessor of FLOWSERVE CORPORATION (“Flowserve”),
established the FIRST MASTER BENEFIT TRUST (the “Trust”) pursuant to a Trust Agreement between The
Duriron Company, Inc. and Bank One, Dayton, as Trustee. The Trust was established to hold assets
to pay deferred obligations of the grantor for incentive and deferral compensation amounts. Since
the Trust was established, section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
“Code”), has been enacted and has become effective with respect to the benefit plans funded under
the Trust. The Trust Agreement will be amended in 2006 for overall compliance with section 409A of
the Code. In the interim, Questions and Answer 20 of Internal Revenue Service Notice 2005-1
permits distribution of certain amounts without respect to the otherwise applicable limitations of
section 409A. By this amendment, Flowserve intends to accomplish amendment of the Trust Agreement
to provide for such distributions. Section 13.2 of the Trust Agreement permits Flowserve to amend
the Trust Agreement, with the consent of participants having at least a cumulative sixty-five
percent (65%) interest in the assets of each respective Plans subject to any such amendment. The
Trust Agreement is hereby amended as follows:

Xxxxxx and Xxxxx Xxxxxx, respectively”.
