          PART I - INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE SECTION 10(a) PROSPECTUS

              FMC Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Registrant"),

              (i)    the Registrant's Prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)
under the 1933 Act on June 14, 2001 relating to the Registrant's Registration

              All documents subsequently filed with the Commission by the
Registrant pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the 1934 Act,
prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment which indicates that all
securities offered have been sold or which deregisters all securities then
remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference herein and to
be part hereof from the respective dates of filing of such documents. Any
statement contained herein or in a document incorporated or deemed to be
incorporated by reference herein shall be deemed to be modified or superseded
for purposes hereof to the extent that a statement contained herein or in any
other subsequently filed document which is also incorporated or deemed to be
incorporated herein modifies or supersedes such statement. Any such statement so
modified or superseded shall not be deemed, except as so modified or superseded,
to constitute a part of this Registration Statement.

Item 4.       Description of Securities.

              Not applicable.

Item 5.       Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.

              None.

Item 6.       Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

              Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of
Delaware provides as follows:

              A corporation shall have the power to indemnify any person who was
or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or
completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by
reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, employee or
agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation
as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership,
joint venture, trust or

                                       3



other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines
and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person in
connection with such action, suit or proceeding if the person acted in good
faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to
the best interest of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action
or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the person's conduct was
unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order,
settlement, conviction or upon a plea of NOLO CONTENDERE or its equivalent,
shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good
faith and in a manner which the person reasonably believed to be in or not
opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any
criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that the person's
conduct was unlawful.

              A corporation shall have the power to indemnify any person who was
or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or
completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a
judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that the person is or was a
director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at
the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of
another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise
against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by
the person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit
if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed
to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and except that
no indemnification shall be made in respect to any claim, issue or matter as to
which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation
unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or the court in which
such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite
the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case,
such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses
which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.

              As permitted by the General Corporation Law of the State of
Delaware, the Registrant has included in its Certificate of Incorporation a
provision to eliminate the personal liability of its directors for monetary
damages for breach of their fiduciary duties as directors, subject to certain
exceptions. In addition, the Registrant's Certificate of Incorporation and
Bylaws provide that the Registrant is required to indemnify its officers and
directors under certain circumstances, including those circumstances in which
indemnification would otherwise be discretionary, and the Registrant is required
to advance expenses to its officers and directors as incurred in connection with
proceedings against them for which they may be indemnified.

              The Registrant maintains directors and officers liability
insurance for the benefit of its directors and officers.

         24.1            Powers of attorney (included on the signature page
                         hereto).

              In lieu of an opinion of counsel or an Internal Revenue Service
determination letter contemplated by Item 601(b)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-K, the
Registrant hereby undertakes to submit the Plan, and any amendment

                                       4



thereto, to the Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") in a timely manner, and
that it will make all changes required by the IRS in order to qualify the Plan
under Section 401 of the Internal Revenue Code.

Item 9. Undertakings.

              (a)    The undersigned 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 1933 Act;

                     (ii)   To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events
              arising after the effective date of this 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 this Registration Statement.
              Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume
              of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities
              offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any
              deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum
              offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed
              with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate,
              the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change
              in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the
              "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in this Registration
              Statement; and

                     (iii)  To include any material information with respect to
              the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this
              Registration Statement or any material change to such information
              in this Registration Statement;

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 with or furnished to the
Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the 1934
Act that are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement.

              (2)    That, for the purpose of determining any liability under
the 1933 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)    The Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the 1933 Act, each filing of the Registrant's
annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the 1934 Act (and,
where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report
pursuant to Section 15(d) of the 1934 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 1933 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 1933 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 1933 Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.
