agreed to preclude us and any Restricted Person from engaging in any hedging or other transaction which is or would result in the
acquisition of “beneficial ownership” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act) of Common Stock in contravention
of the provisions of this Letter Agreement. Such prohibited hedging or other transactions would include, without limitation, any
purchase, sale or grant of any right (including, without limitation, any put or call option) with respect to Common Stock or with

6. The Company shall furnish us with such financial information
concerning the Company that we reasonably request to enable us to timely comply with our reporting obligations under applicable
securities laws; provided, however, we will not be entitled to any non-public information unless we execute a customary confidentiality
agreement. In addition, if the Company incurs any out-of-pocket expenses that it would not otherwise incur but for its obligations
under this Paragraph 6, we shall reimburse the Company for all such reasonable out-of-pocket expenses.

 

7. Concurrently with the execution of this Letter Agreement,
we are executing a termination agreement, terminating the Registration Rights Agreement, dated May 17, 2012, by and between Mueller

its assets or properties, (iii) September 2, 2013, or (iv) the Company (a) commences any bankruptcy, reorganization, debt arrangement,
or other case or proceeding under any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency law, (b) applies for, consents to, or acquiesces

as (but only to the extent that) we are or could be required to include financial information concerning the Company in our public
reporting.

The use of an independent employment agency (so long as it is not directed by any Restricted Person to solicit employees of Mueller
or its subsidiaries) or a general solicitation of employment, whether by newspaper, trade publication advertising or otherwise,
and the hiring as a result thereof of any employee shall not be construed as a breach of this Paragraph 9.

 

10. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that money damages
would not be a sufficient remedy for any breach or threatened breach of any provision of this Letter Agreement, and that in addition
to all other remedies which we or the Company may have, each of the parties hereto will be entitled to seek specific performance
and injunctive or other equitable relief as a remedy for any such breach, without the necessity of posting any bond.

11. It is understood and agreed that no failure or delay by
a party hereto in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or
partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder.

 

12. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this
Letter Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provisions of this Letter Agreement, which shall
remain in full force and effect.

provisions of this Paragraph 12, may not be amended, modified, terminated or waived, in whole or in part, except upon the prior
