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

ITEM 9. 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
<PAGE>   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.
