<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Under Section&nbsp;145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, a corporation may indemnify any
individual made a party or threatened to be made a party to any type of proceeding, other than an
action by or in the right of the corporation, because he or she is or was an officer, director,
employee or agent of the corporation or was serving at the request of the corporation as an
officer, director, employee or agent of another corporation or entity against expenses, judgments,
fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in connection with such
proceeding: (1)&nbsp;if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to
be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation; or (2)&nbsp;in the case of a criminal
proceeding, he or she had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. A
corporation may indemnify any individual made a party or threatened to be made a party to any
threatened, pending or completed action or suit brought by or in the right of the corporation
because he or she was an officer, director, 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 or other entity, against expenses actually and reasonably incurred in connection with
such action or suit if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed
to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, provided that such
indemnification will be denied if the individual is found liable to the corporation unless, in such
a case, the court determines the person is nonetheless entitled to indemnification for such
expenses. A corporation must indemnify a present or former director or officer who successfully
defends himself or herself in a proceeding to which he or she was a party because he or she was a
director or officer of the corporation against expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him or
her. Expenses incurred by an officer or director, or any employees or agents as deemed appropriate
by the board of directors, in defending civil or criminal proceedings may be paid by the
corporation in advance of the final disposition of such proceedings upon receipt of an undertaking
by or on behalf of such director, officer, employee or agent to repay such amount if it shall
ultimately be determined that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation. The

The provision of indemnification and the advancement of expenses to persons under our bylaws does
not limit or restrict in any way our power to indemnify or advance expenses to them in any other

provisions referenced in Item&nbsp;14 of this Registration Statement, or otherwise, the registrant has
been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange 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 hereunder, 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 of 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.

Table of Contents
Item 5. Interest of Named Experts and Counsel.
Robert Barker, Executive Vice President and General Counsel of Mueller Water Products, Inc.,
is rendering an opinion regarding the legality of the Series A Common Stock.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Mueller Water Products, Inc. (the "Company") is a Delaware corporation. Section 102(b)(7) of
the Delaware General Corporation Law permits a corporation to provide in its certificate of
incorporation that a director of the corporation shall not be personally liable to the corporation
or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for
liability for any of the following:
•
any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders;
•
acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing
violation of law;
•
payments of unlawful dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions under
Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law; or
•
any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.
Any repeal or modification of such provisions shall not adversely affect any right or
protection of a director for or with respect to any acts or omissions of such director occurring
prior to such amendment or repeal. Our restated certificate of incorporation provides that no
director shall be personally liable to us or any of our stockholders for monetary damages for
breach of fiduciary duty as a director to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law, except for
any liability imposed by Section 102(b)(7) as discussed above.
Under Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, a corporation may indemnify any
individual made a party or threatened to be made a party to any type of proceeding, other than an
action by or in the right of the corporation, because he or she is or was an officer, director,
employee or agent of the corporation or was serving at the request of the corporation as an
officer, director, employee or agent of another corporation or entity against expenses, judgments,
fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in connection with such
proceeding: (1) if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to
be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation; or (2) in the case of a criminal
proceeding, he or she had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. A
corporation may indemnify any individual made a party or threatened to be made a party to any
threatened, pending or completed action or suit brought by or in the right of the corporation
because he or she was an officer, director, 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 or other entity, against expenses actually and reasonably incurred in connection with
such action or suit if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed
to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, provided that such
indemnification will be denied if the individual is found liable to the corporation unless, in such
a case, the court determines the person is nonetheless entitled to indemnification for such
expenses. A corporation must indemnify a present or former director or officer who successfully
defends himself or herself in a proceeding to which he or she was a party because he or she was a
director or officer of the corporation against expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him or
her. Expenses incurred by an officer or director, or any employees or agents as deemed appropriate
by the board of directors, in defending civil or criminal proceedings may be paid by the
corporation in advance of the final disposition of such proceedings upon receipt of an undertaking
by or on behalf of such director, officer, employee or agent to repay such amount if it shall
ultimately be determined that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation. The
Delaware law
3
Table of Contents
regarding indemnification and expense advancement is not exclusive of any other rights which
may be granted by our restated certificate of incorporation or restated bylaws, a vote of
stockholders or disinterested directors, agreement or otherwise.
The restated bylaws of Mueller Water Products, Inc. provide that we must indemnify our former
and present directors and officers, and to advance them certain expenses in defending any relevant
action, suit or proceeding, to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of the State of Delaware,
subject to the limitations as described above. Our bylaws also provide in greater detail our
obligations and certain procedures regarding such indemnification and the advancement of expenses.
The provision of indemnification and the advancement of expenses to persons under our bylaws does
not limit or restrict in any way our power to indemnify or advance expenses to them in any other
way permitted by law. Without limitation to the foregoing sentence, our bylaws also authorize us
to maintain insurance on behalf of any of our former or present directors and officers against any
liability asserted against them or incurred by them in their capacity or status as directors or
officers of the Company.
As authorized by the Delaware General Corporation Law, the directors of Mueller Water
Products, Inc. have approved a form of Indemnity Agreement which the Company may enter with its
directors. A person with whom the Company has entered into such an Indemnity Agreement (an
"Indemnitee") shall be indemnified against liabilities and expenses related to such person's
capacity as an officer or director or to capacities served with other entities at the request of
the Company, except for claims excepted from the limited liability provisions described above. An
Indemnitee is also entitled to the benefits of any directors' and officers' liability insurance
policy maintained by the Company. Mueller Water Products, Inc. has entered into an Indemnity
Agreement with each of its directors.
Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.
Not applicable.
Item 8. Exhibits.
The list of exhibits is incorporated herein by reference to the Exhibit Index following the
signature pages.
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 Securities
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) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent
a fundamental change in the information set forth in the 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
4
Table of Contents
represent
no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering
price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the
effective registration statement; and
(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;
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 15(d)
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration
statement.
(2) that, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities 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; and
(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 undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any
liability under the Securities Act of 1933, 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 this registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration
statement relating to the securities offered herein, 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 Securities Act of 1933 may be
permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the
provisions referenced in Item 14 of this Registration Statement, or otherwise, the registrant has
been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange 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 hereunder, 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 of 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.
