        <footnote id="F1">In connection with the spin-off of Mueller Water Products, Inc. on December 14, 2006 and under the anti-dilution provisions of the Company's 1995 and 2002 Long-Term Incentive Award Plans, these options were modified on December 15, 2006 to preserve the intrinsic value of the awards.  The number of shares of the modified awards was determined by multiplying the number of outstanding shares underlying the equity awards by 1.9426 and by dividing the stock option exercise price by the same adjustment ratio.  This adjustment ratio was obtained by dividing the closing price of the Company's Common Stock in the &quot;regular way&quot; market on December 14, 2006 ($49.05) by the &quot;ex-dividend&quot; opening price of the Company's Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange on December 15, 2006 ($25.25).</footnote>

The number of shares of the modified awards was determined by multiplying the number of outstanding shares underlying the equity awards by 1.11445 and by dividing the stock option exercise price by the same adjustment ratio.</footnote>

The adjustment was effected by multiplying the number of units by a factor of 1.11445.</footnote>
