ENDE ___________________ To Our Fellow Forest Laboratories Stockholders: This Proxy Statement and the accompanying GOLD proxy card are being furnished to Stockholders ("Stockholders") of Forest Laboratories, Inc., 909 Third Avenue, New York, New York 10022 ("Forest Laboratories," the "Corporation" or the "Company") in connection with the solicitation of proxies by Carl C. Icahn and the Participants (as hereinafter defined), to be used at the 2011 Annual Meeting (the "Annual Meeting") of Stockholders of Forest Laboratories which is scheduled to be held at [ ], on [ ], at [ ], and at any adjournments, postponements or continuations thereof. This Proxy Statement and the GOLD proxy card are first being furnished to Stockholders on or about [ ]. At the Annual Meeting, the Participants will seek to elect to the Board of Directors ("Board") of Forest Laboratories the following persons (each a "Nominee" and collectively, the "Nominees"): DR. ALEXANDER J. DENNER DR. RICHARD MULLIGAN PROFESSOR LUCIAN A. BEBCHUK DR. ERIC J. ENDE The Icahn Parties (as hereinafter defined) believe that the Nominees have impressive qualifications and that their experience, including on other pharma boards, would be extremely beneficial to Forest Laboratories and, therefore, its stockholders. Dr. Denner has an accomplished record in improving the operations, research and development of biotech companies. Dr. Mulligan is an internationally known expert in genetics and gene therapy. Professor Bebchuk is a Professor of Law, Economics, and Finance and Director of the Program on Corporate Governance at Harvard Law School. He is one of the nation's leading corporate governance experts. Dr. Ende is a successful analyst and consultant with extensive financial expertise and a strong understanding of the pharmaceutical industry. The Icahn Parties believe that the Nominees' knowledge of science, medicine, corporate governance, finance and business will significantly improve the science, corporate governance and business expertise of the Board. The Icahn Parties also believe that each Nominee is a strong stockholder-oriented individual who will help represent the best interests of the Corporation's stockholders. The Icahn Parties believe that recent events concerning Forest Laboratories, together with the declining performance of its shares over the past 7 years and the anticipated decline in Forest Laboratories' results of operations due to the loss of patent protection on Lexapro, its most significant drug, also warrant a change in the composition of the Board. Additionally, in 2010, the Company disclosed that it pled guilty to a felony and misdemeanor charges and paid in excess of $300 million to settle claims brought against it by the US Department of Justice and US Attorney's Office. The Company stated that these matters were resolved. However, this proved not to be the case. On April 13, 2011, the Company publicly disclosed that on April 12, 2011, Mr. Howard Solomon, the longtime Chairman and CEO of the Company, was notified by the Office of the Inspector General, Department of Health and Human Services (the "OIG-HHS") that the OIG-HHS was commencing an action to exclude him from participating in federal healthcare programs based on the matters that the Company previously disclosed were settled. The Company stated that should the OIG-HHS ultimately determine that Mr. Solomon should be excluded, Mr. Solomon would be required to step down as an officer of the Company unless his exclusion is enjoined by legal proceedings. The Company also disclosed on that same day (just one day after receiving the notification from the OIG-HHS) that Mr. Solomon plans to commence litigation to prevent any such exclusion and that the Company will support such litigation by Mr. Solomon. The Company indicated that it believes that these actions by the OIG-HHS are unprecedented. Each of our Nominees has consented to being named in this Proxy Statement and, if elected, to serve as a director. Under the proxy rules we may only solicit proxies for our Nominees, which would result in limiting the ability of Stockholders that would like to vote for our Nominees to fully exercise their voting rights to vote for up to a full complement of nine directors. Alternatively, we may solicit proxies in support of our Nominees and also seek authority to vote for all of the Forest Laboratories nominees other than those Forest Laboratories nominees we specify. This would enable a Stockholder who desires to vote for up to a full complement of nine director nominees to use the GOLD proxy card to vote for our Nominees as well as the Forest Laboratories nominees for whom we are seeking authority to vote other than those nominees as to which the Stockholder specifically withholds our authority to vote for. We have determined to nominate a slate of four Nominees, Dr. Denner, Dr. Mulligan, Professor Bebchuk and Dr. Ende and are seeking authority to vote for up to all of the Forest Laboratories nominees other than [ ]. As a result, should a Stockholder so authorize us, on the GOLD proxy card, we would cast votes for our four Nominees and up to five Forest Laboratories nominees. None of the Forest Laboratories nominees for whom we seek authority to vote have agreed to serve with any of our Nominees, if elected. THE PARTICIPANTS URGE YOU TO VOTE THE GOLD PROXY CARD FOR DR. ALEXANDER J. DENNER, DR. RICHARD MULLIGAN, PROFESSOR LUCIAN A. BEBCHUK AND DR. ERIC J. ENDE AS DIRECTORS. The Nominees and each of the other Participants have no interest in Forest Laboratories other than through the beneficial ownership (if any) of shares of Common Stock, par value $0.10 per share, of Forest Laboratories (the "Common Stock") or other securities (if any) of Forest Laboratories, except as disclosed herein, including the Annexes hereto, and in the case of each of Dr. Mulligan, Professor Bebchuk and Dr. Ende, pursuant to an agreement in which certain affiliates of Carl C. Icahn have agreed to pay each of Dr. Mulligan, Professor Bebchuk and Dr. Ende $25,000 and to indemnify such Nominee with respect to certain costs incurred by each such Nominee in connection with the proxy contest relating to the Annual Meeting (the "Nominee Agreement") and in the case of Dr. Denner, through his profit interests in the shares of Common Stock held by the Icahn Parties and their affiliates as described herein. DR. ALEXANDER J. DENNER, DR. RICHARD MULLIGAN, PROFESSOR LUCIAN A. BEBCHUK AND DR. ERIC J. ENDE ARE COMMITTED TO ACTING IN THE BEST INTEREST OF ALL STOCKHOLDERS OF FOREST LABORATORIES. THE PARTICIPANTS URGE YOU TO VOTE YOUR GOLD PROXY CARD FOR DR. ALEXANDER J. DENNER, DR. RICHARD MULLIGAN, PROFESSOR LUCIAN A. BEBCHUK AND DR. ERIC J. ENDE. IMPORTANT According to Forest Laboratories' Proxy Statement, the Bylaws and applicable law, the election of the Nominees requires the affirmative vote of a plurality of the votes cast by the holders of Forest Laboratories' Common Stock at a meeting at which a quorum is present in person or represented by proxy. As a result, your vote is extremely important. We urge you to mark, sign, date, and return the enclosed GOLD proxy card to vote FOR the election of each Nominee. WE URGE YOU NOT TO SIGN ANY PROXY CARD SENT TO YOU BY FOREST LABORATORIES. IF YOU HAVE ALREADY DONE SO, YOU MAY REVOKE YOUR PROXY BY DELIVERING A LATER-DATED GOLD PROXY CARD IN THE ENCLOSED POSTAGE-PREPAID ENVELOPE, EXECUTING A VOTE VIA INTERNET OR TELEPHONE, OR BY VOTING IN PERSON AT THE ANNUAL MEETING. SEE "VOTING PROCEDURES" AND "PROXY PROCEDURES" BELOW. If you attend the Annual Meeting and you beneficially own shares of Common Stock but are not the record owner, your mere attendance at the Annual Meeting WILL NOT be sufficient to cancel your prior given proxy card. You must have written authority from the record owner to vote the shares of Common Stock in its name at the meeting. Contact D.F. King & Co., Inc. at the number shown in this Proxy Statement for assistance or if you have any questions.

Stockholders of record at the close of business on the Record Date will be entitled to one vote at the Annual Meeting for each share of Common Stock of Forest Laboratories held on the Record Date. As of the Record Date, the Participants and their affiliates beneficially owned an aggregate of [ ] shares of Common Stock, representing approximately [ ] of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. The Participants and their affiliates intend to vote such shares of Common Stock FOR the election of the Nominees.

PARTICIPANTS IN SOLICITATION OF PROXIES In addition to the Nominees (who are Dr. Alexander J. Denner, Dr. Richard Mulligan, Professor Lucian A. Bebchuk and Dr. Eric J. Ende), the participants in the solicitation of proxies (the "Participants") from Stockholders of Forest Laboratories include the following: Carl C. Icahn, a citizen of the United States, High River Limited Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership ("HighRiver"), Hopper Investments LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Hopper"), Barberry Corp., a Delaware corporation ("Barberry"), Icahn Partners LP, a Delaware limited partnership ("Icahn Partners"), Icahn Partners Master Fund LP, a Cayman Islands limited partnership ("Icahn Master"), Icahn Partners Master Fund II L.P., a Cayman Islands limited partnership ("Icahn Master II"), Icahn Partners Master Fund III L.P., a Cayman Islands limited partnership ("Icahn Master III"), Beckton Corp., a Delaware corporation ("Beckton"), Icahn Enterprises G.P. Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Icahn Enterprises GP"), Icahn Enterprises Holdings L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("Icahn Enterprises Holdings"), IPH GP LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("IPH"), Icahn Capital LP, a Delaware limited partnership ("Icahn Capital"), Icahn Onshore LP, a Delaware limited partnership ("Icahn Onshore") and Icahn Offshore LP, a Delaware limited partnership ("Icahn Offshore"). Icahn Partners, Icahn Master, Icahn Master II, Icahn Master III and High River (collectively, the "Icahn Parties"), are entities controlled by Mr. Carl C. Icahn. Dr. Denner is an employee and/or officer and/or director of the Icahn Parties and various other entities controlled by Mr. Icahn, who will participate in soliciting proxies from Forest Laboratories Stockholders. Except as described herein, Dr. Denner does not own beneficially any interest in securities of Forest Laboratories and Dr. Denner will not receive any special compensation in connection with such solicitation. In connection with his employment by Mr. Icahn and his affiliated companies, Dr. Denner, among other employees, had a participatory interest in, among other things, the profits and fees derived by Mr. Icahn and/or his affiliates from Icahn Partners', Icahn Master's, Icahn Master II's and Icahn Master III's ownership of the shares of Common Stock. In the aggregate, Dr. Denner's profit interests and capital accounts in Icahn Partners, Icahn Master, Icahn Master II and Icahn Master III entitled him to less than 2% of the profits generated by such entities' ownership of the shares of Common Stock. The foregoing with respect to the shares of Common Stock has been superseded by the following as of June 10, 2011: Dr. Denner has a participatory interest in the profits attributable to the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Icahn Parties and their affiliates equal to 5% of an amount equal to (x) such profits minus (y) an amount equal to a return of 8% per annum, compounded annually, on the Icahn Parties' and their affiliates' investment in the shares of Common Stock. Annex A attached hereto sets forth, as to the Nominees and the other Participants, all transactions in securities of Forest Laboratories effected during the past two years and their beneficial ownership of securities of Forest Laboratories. With respect to each Participant (including the Nominees), except as set forth herein or in any of the Annexes attached hereto, (i) such Participant is not, nor was within the past year, a party to any contract, arrangement or understanding with any person with respect to any securities of Forest Laboratories, including, but not limited to, joint ventures, loan or option arrangements, puts or calls, guarantees against loss or guarantees of profit, division of losses or profits, or the giving or withholding of proxies; and (ii) neither such Participant nor any of such Participant's associates have any arrangement or understanding with any person with respect to (A) any future employment by Forest Laboratories or its affiliates or (B) any future transactions to which Forest Laboratories or any of its affiliates will or may be a party. PROPOSAL 1 -- ELECTION OF DIRECTORS Article I, Section 6, of Forest Laboratories' Amended and Restated Bylaws provides that nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors of the Corporation may be made " by any stockholder of the Corporation who was a stockholder of record at the time of giving of notice provided for in this Bylaw, who is entitled to vote at the meeting and who complies with the notice procedures set forth in this Bylaw." On June 10, 2011, High River, a record holder of Common Stock, delivered timely notice in accordance with the foregoing, notifying Forest Laboratories that High River intends to nominate and will seek to elect at the Annual Meeting - Dr. Alexander J. Denner, Dr. Richard Mulligan, Professor Lucian A. Bebchuk and Dr. Eric J. Ende as members of the board of directors of Forest Laboratories. Each Nominee, if elected, would serve a one-year term and hold office until the 2012 annual meeting of Stockholders and until a successor has been duly elected and qualified. Background information about each of the Nominees is set forth below and the Annexes attached hereto. According to Forest Laboratories' Proxy Statement, the Board of Forest Laboratories intends to nominate nine candidates for election as directors at the Annual Meeting. This Proxy Statement is soliciting proxies to elect Dr. Alexander J. Denner, Dr. Richard Mulligan, Professor Lucian A. Bebchuk and Dr. Eric J. Ende, and to enable Stockholders to vote for the Forest Laboratories nominees other than [ ]. Therefore, should a Stockholder so authorize us, we will cast votes for our four Nominees and up to five Forest Laboratories nominees. None of such Forest Laboratories nominees for whom we seek authority to vote have agreed to serve with any of our Nominees, if elected. If elected, the Nominees will be a minority of the directors and will not alone be able to adopt resolutions. However, the Nominees expect to be able to actively engage other Board members in full discussion of the issues facing the Company and resolve them together. By utilizing their respective experiences and working constructively with Board members, the Nominees believe they can effect positive change at the Company. Mr. Icahn has an interest in the election of directors at the Annual Meeting indirectly through the beneficial ownership of securities, as further described in Annex A. Dr. Richard Mulligan, Professor Lucian A. Bebchuk and Dr. Eric J. Ende are each party to a Nominee Agreement, substantially in the form attached hereto as Annex B, pursuant to which Icahn Capital has agreed to pay certain fees to each such Nominee and to indemnify each such Nominee with respect to certain costs incurred by each such Nominee in connection with the proxy contest relating to the Annual Meeting. Except as disclosed in this Proxy Statement, including the Annexes attached hereto and as provided in the Nominee Agreement (which, among other things, provides for a payment to each of Dr. Richard Mulligan, Professor Lucian A. Bebchuk and Dr. Eric J. Ende of $25,000), none of the Nominees will receive any compensation from any of the Participants or any of their affiliates in connection with this proxy solicitation. Dr. Richard Mulligan, Professor Lucian A. Bebchuk and Dr. Eric J. Ende have an interest in the election of directors at the Annual Meeting pursuant to the Nominee Agreement. Dr. Denner has an interest in the election of directors at the Annual Meeting indirectly through his profit interests in the shares of Common Stock held by the Icahn Parties as follows: Dr. Denner has a participatory interest in the profits attributable to the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Icahn Parties and their affiliates equal to 5% of an amount equal to (x) such profits minus (y) an amount equal to a return of 8% per annum, compounded annually, on the Icahn Parties' and their affiliates' investment in the shares of Common Stock.

According to Forest Laboratories' Proxy Statement, the Bylaws and applicable law, a nominee for director will be elected to the Company's Board of Directors if the votes cast for such nominee's election exceed the votes cast against such nominee's election; provided, however, that directors will be elected by a plurality of the votes cast at any meeting of stockholders for which (i) the Secretary of the Company receives a notice that a stockholder has nominated a person for election to the Board of Directors in compliance with the Company's Bylaws and (ii) such nomination has not been withdrawn by such stockholder on or before the tenth day before the Company first mails its notice of meeting for such meeting to the Stockholders. Plurality means that the individuals who receive the largest number of votes cast are elected as directors, up to the maximum number of directors to be chosen at the meeting. Consequently, any shares of Common Stock not voted (whether by abstention, broker nonvote or otherwise) have no impact in the election of directors. A quorum must be present, in person or by proxy, in order for the Company to hold the Annual Meeting. A quorum is the presence by person or by proxy of a majority of the shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. The shares of Common Stock represented by a proxy marked "withhold" or "abstain" and broker non-votes (as described below) will be considered present at the Annual Meeting for purposes of determining a quorum. BROKER NON-VOTES If you hold your shares of Common Stock through a bank, broker or other nominee and do not provide voting instructions to the record holder of the shares of Common Stock, your shares of Common Stock will not be voted on any proposal on which your broker or nominee does not have discretionary authority to vote. In this case, a "broker non-vote" occurs. Shares of Common Stock constituting broker non-votes are not counted or deemed to be present or represented for the purpose of determining whether Stockholders have approved a matter, but they are counted as present for the purpose of determining a quorum at the Annual Meeting. The election of directors at the Annual Meeting is a "non-routine matter" and brokers do not have discretionary authority to vote your shares of Common Stock on "non-routine matters." Therefore, unless you provide specific voting instructions to your broker, your broker will not have discretionary authority to vote your shares of Common Stock for the election of directors at the Annual Meeting and your shares of Common Stock will not be voted for the election of directors. If your shares of Common Stock are held in street name, your broker or nominee has enclosed a voting instruction card with this Proxy Statement. We strongly encourage you to vote your shares of Common Stock by following the instructions provided on the voting instruction card. According to Forest Laboratories' Proxy Statement, the Bylaws and applicable law, the Stockholder vote on Proposal 2 - ADVISORY VOTE ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION (SAY-ON-PAY VOTE) - is advisory and will not be binding on the Board. However, in order to be approved on an advisory basis, this proposal must receive the "FOR" vote of a majority of the shares present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote on the matter. Abstentions will have the same effect as a vote against the proposal. Broker nonvotes will have no effect on this proposal as brokers are not entitled to vote on such proposals in the absence of voting instructions from the beneficial owner. According to Forest Laboratories' Proxy Statement, the Bylaws and applicable law, the Stockholder vote on Proposal 3 - ADVISORY VOTE ON THE FREQUENCY OF AN ADVISORY VOTE ON THE COMPENSATION OF THE COMPANY'S NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS (SAY-WHEN-ON-PAY VOTE) - is advisory and will not be binding on the Board. Abstentions and broker nonvotes will not be counted as expressing any preference. If none of the frequency alternatives (one year, two years or three years) receives a majority vote, the Company has disclosed that it will consider the frequency that receives the highest number of votes by stockholders to be the frequency that has been selected by stockholders. However, the Company disclosed that because this vote is advisory and not binding on the Company or its Board in any way, its Board may decide that it is in the Company's and its stockholders' best interests to hold an advisory vote on executive compensation more or less frequently than the alternative selected by the Stockholders. According to Forest Laboratories' Proxy Statement, the Bylaws and applicable law, the approval of the ratification of the selection of the Independent Registered Accounting Firm require the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote on the matter. Abstentions will have the same effect as a vote against the proposal. As explained in the detailed instructions on your GOLD proxy card, there are four ways you may vote. You may: 1. Sign, date and return the enclosed GOLD proxy card in the enclosed postage-paid envelope. We recommend that you vote on the GOLD proxy card even if you plan to attend the Annual Meeting; 2.

All valid proxies received prior to the meeting will be voted. If you specify a choice with respect to any item by marking the appropriate box on the proxy, the shares of Common Stock will be voted in accordance with that specification.

Icahn, Icahn Associates Corp. and High River alleging that High River's tender offer for Reliance 9% senior notes violated Section 14(e) of the Exchange Act. Reliance sought a temporary restraining order and preliminary and permanent injunctive relief to prevent defendants from purchasing the notes. The Court initially imposed a temporary restraining order. Defendants then supplemented the tender offer disclosures. The Court conducted a hearing on the disclosures and other matters raised by Reliance. It then denied plaintiff's motion for a preliminary injunction and ordered dissolution of its temporary restraining order following dissemination of the supplement. Reliance took an immediate appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit and sought a stay to restrain defendants from purchasing notes during the pendency of the appeal. On January 30, 2001, the Court of Appeals denied plaintiff's stay application. On January 30, Reliance also sought a further temporary restraining order from the District Court. The Court considered the matter and reimposed its original restraint until noon the next day, at which time the restraint was dissolved. The appeal was argued on March 9 and denied on March 22, 2001.

CAPITAL LP June 9, 2011 To the undersigned potential nominee: This will confirm our understanding as follows: You agree that you are willing, should we so elect, to become a member of a slate of nominees (the "Slate") to stand for election as directors of Forest Laboratories, Inc. ("Forest Laboratories") in connection with a proxy contest with management of Forest Laboratories in respect of the election of directors of Forest Laboratories at the 2011 Annual Meeting of Shareholders of Forest Laboratories (the "Annual Meeting"), expected to be held in the Summer of 2011, or a special meeting of shareholders of Forest Laboratories called for a similar purpose (the "Proxy Contest"). Icahn Capital LP ("Icahn") agrees to pay the costs of the Proxy Contest. In addition, upon our filing of a preliminary proxy statement with the SEC, which indicates that Icahn, or an affiliate thereof, intends to nominate you for election at the Annual Meeting, you will be entitled to be paid $25,000 by Icahn unless you are elected to serve as a director of Forest Laboratories at the Annual Meeting or a special meeting of shareholders of Forest Laboratories called for a similar purpose or in connection with a settlement of the Proxy Contest by Icahn and Forest Laboratories, in which case you will not receive any payment from Icahn in connection with the Proxy Contest(*). Payment to you pursuant to this paragraph, if any, will be made by Icahn, subject to the terms hereof, upon the earliest of (i) the certification of the results of the election in respect of the Proxy Contest, (ii) the settlement of the Proxy Contest by Icahn and Forest Laboratories, or (iii) the withdrawal of the Proxy Contest by Icahn. You understand that it may be difficult, if not impossible, to replace nominees who, such as yourself, have agreed to serve on the Slate and later change their minds and determine not to seek election. Accordingly, the Slate is relying upon your agreement to seek election. In that connection, you are being supplied with a questionnaire in which you will provide Icahn with information necessary for Icahn to make appropriate disclosure both to Forest Laboratories and for use in creating the proxy material to be sent to shareholders of Forest Laboratories and to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. You have agreed that (i) you will immediately complete and sign the questionnaire and return it to Mark DiPaolo, Assistant General Counsel, Icahn Enterprises LP, 767 Fifth Avenue, Suite 4700, New York, NY 10153, Tel: (212) 702-4361, Fax: (212) 688-1158, Email: mdipaolo@sfire.com and (ii) your responses to the questions contained therein will be true and correct in all respects. In addition, you have agreed that, concurrently with your execution of this letter, you will execute the attached instrument directed to Forest Laboratories informing Forest Laboratories that you consent to being nominated by Icahn, or an affiliate thereof, for election as a director of Forest Laboratories and, if elected, consent to serving as a director of Forest Laboratories and consent to the disclosure of certain information relating to you as would be required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for your election as a director pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, in any such solicitation made by the Company. You also will make a statement in the attached instrument that if elected, you intend to tender, promptly following your election or reelection, an irrevocable resignation effective upon your failure to receive the required vote for reelection at the next meeting at which you would face reelection and upon acceptance of such resignation by the board of directors, in accordance with the Company's Board Practice on Director Elections. Upon being notified that we have chosen you, we may forward that instrument and your completed questionnaire (or summaries thereof) to Forest Laboratories. _________________________ (*) The applicable agreement with Dr. Ende also provides that he will not be entitled to this fee if Dr. Ende enters into a consulting agreement with Icahn in connection with the Proxy Context, in form and substance satisfactory to Icahn. Icahn hereby agrees that, so long as you actually serve on the Slate, Icahn will defend, indemnify and hold you harmless from and against any and all losses, damages, penalties, judgments, awards, liabilities, costs, expenses and disbursements (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees, costs, expenses and disbursements) incurred by you in the event that (i) you become a party, or are threatened to be made a party, to any civil, criminal, administrative or arbitrative action, suit or proceeding, and any appeal thereof relating solely to your role as a nominee for director of Forest Laboratories on the Slate (a "Proceeding") or (ii) you are called to testify or give a deposition in any Proceeding (whether or not you are a party or are threatened to be made a party to such Proceeding), including, in each case, the advancement to you of all reasonable attorneys' costs and expenses incurred by you in connection with any Proceeding. Your right of indemnification hereunder shall continue (i) in the event that Icahn determines to withdraw the Slate or remove you from the Slate and (ii) after the election has taken place but only for events which occur prior to such election and subsequent to the date hereof. Anything to the contrary herein notwithstanding, Icahn is not indemnifying you for any action taken by you or on your behalf which occurs prior to the date hereof or subsequent to the Annual Meeting or such earlier time as you are no longer a nominee of the Slate for election to Forest Laboratories' Board of Directors or for any actions taken by you as a director of Forest Laboratories, if you are elected. Nothing herein shall be construed to provide you an indemnity: (i) in the event you are found to have engaged in a violation of any provision of state or federal law in connection with the Proxy Contest unless you demonstrate that your action was taken in good faith and in a manner you reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of electing the Slate; or (ii) if you acted in a manner which constitutes gross negligence or willful misconduct. In the event that you shall make any claim for indemnification hereunder, you shall promptly notify Icahn in the event of any third-party claims actually made against you or known by you to be threatened. In addition, with respect to any such claim, Icahn shall be entitled to control your defense with counsel chosen by Icahn. Icahn shall not be responsible for any settlement of any claim against you covered by this indemnity without its prior written consent. However, Icahn may not enter into any settlement of any such claim without your consent unless such settlement includes a release of you from any and all liability in respect of such claim. Each of us recognizes that should you be elected to the Board of Directors of Forest Laboratories all of your activities and decisions as a director will be governed by applicable law and subject to your fiduciary duty to the stockholders of Forest Laboratories and, as a result, that there is, and can be, no agreement between you and Icahn which governs the decisions which you will make as a director of Forest Laboratories. Should the foregoing agree with your understanding, please so indicate in the space provided below, whereupon this letter will become a binding agreement between us. Very truly yours, ICAHN CAPITAL LP By: __________________________ Name: Edward E.
