All capitalized terms used in this Agreement and not otherwise defined herein have the meanings given to such terms in the Plan (as defined below).
     WHEREAS, the Company has adopted the Flowserve Corporation Equity and Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) to strengthen the ability of the Company to attract, motivate and retain Employees and Outside Directors who possess superior capabilities and to encourage such persons to have a proprietary interest in the Company.
     WHEREAS, the Organization and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company believes that the grant of Restricted Stock Units to the Participant as described herein is consistent with the stated purposes for which the Plan was adopted.
     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:
  1.   Restricted Stock Units
  (a)   In order to encourage the Participant’s contribution to the successful performance of the Company, and in consideration of the covenants and promises of the Participant herein contained, the Company hereby grants to the Participant as of the Date of Grant, an Award of «M___of_Shares_Granted» Restricted Stock Units (the “RSUs”), which will be converted into the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company equal to the number of vested RSUs, subject to the conditions and restrictions set forth below and in the Plan.
 
  (b)   No Shareholder Rights
 
      The RSUs granted pursuant to this Agreement do not and shall not entitle the Participant to any rights of a stockholder of the Company prior to the date shares of Common Stock are issued to the Participant in settlement of the Award. The Participant’s rights with respect to RSUs shall remain forfeitable at all times prior to the date on which rights become vested and the restrictions with respect to the Restricted Stock Units lapse in accordance with this Agreement.
  2.   Vesting and Conversion of RSUs into Common Stock
  (a)   Subject to the provisions of Paragraphs 3 and 4 below, the Restricted Stock shall vest ratably over a three-year period following the Date of

 




 

      Grant, with 1/3 of the RSUs vesting on the first annual anniversary of the Date of Grant, 1/3 of the RSUs vesting on the second annual anniversary of the Date of Grant, and 1/3 of the RSUs vesting on the third annual anniversary of the Date of Grant. In any event, the RSUs shall cease to vest following the Participant’s termination of employment with the Company.
 
  (b)   Except as otherwise provided in Paragraph 4 below, no later than the date that is two and a half (2 1/2) months following the close of the calendar year in which the RSUs vest in accordance with the schedule set forth in Paragraph 2(a) above, the Company shall convert the vested RSUs into the number of whole shares of Common Stock equal to the number of vested RSUs, subject to the provisions of the Plan and the Agreement. The value of any fractional RSUs shall be paid in cash at the time Common Stock is issued to the Participant in connection with the RSUs. The value of the fractional RSUs shall equal the percentage of all RSUs represented by a fractional RSU multiplied by the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock. The value of such shares of Common Stock shall not bear any interest owing to the passage of time.
 
  (c)   Following conversion of the vested RSUs into shares of Common Stock, such shares of Common Stock will be transferred of record to the Participant and a certificate or certificates representing said Common Stock will be issued in the name of such Participant and delivered to the Participant. The delivery of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to this Agreement is subject to the provisions of Paragraphs 8 and 10 below.
 
  (d)   Each year that this Agreement is in effect, the Committee may, but shall be under no obligation to, pay the Participant a cash bonus equal to the dividends that would have been paid on the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of RSUs granted hereunder had the Participant actually held shares of Common Stock during such year. Such cash bonus amounts, if any, will be distributed at the time Common Stock is delivered to the Participant with respect to RSUs that have become vested to the extent such bonus amounts relate to the vested RSUs.
  3.   Effect of Termination of Employment or Services
  (a)   The RSUs granted pursuant to this Agreement shall vest in accordance with the vesting schedule reflected in Paragraph 2(a) above, on condition that the Participant remains employed by or continues to provide services to the Company or a Subsidiary through the applicable vesting dates set forth in paragraph 2(a). If, however, either:
  (i)   the Company and its Subsidiaries terminate the Participant’s employment or service relationship; or

  (b)   Notwithstanding Paragraphs 2(a) and 3(a) above, upon the cessation of the Participant’s 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 RSUs.
  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) below 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 Participant’s 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:

  (ii)   any vested RSUs that have not been converted into shares of Common Stock shall be immediately forfeited;
