Dear Phillip,

As you know, I celebrated my 80th birthday in September of last year. And as I have mentioned to you a number of times, I think the time has come to retire from the Board of IVAX Corp.

I hereby confirm in writing, that I will not be standing for reelection at the coming shareholders meeting.

I would like to take this opportunity to express that my feelings towards you and the Corporation remain as strong as ever.

With my warmest regards,
