nominate additional persons (each, an "Additional Nominee") such that High River

Additionally, if, for any reason, any Nominee or Additional Nominee is unable to
stand for election at the Annual Meeting, High River intends to nominate a

Pursuant to the Bylaw Requirements, the following is a description of

Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the form of Nominee
Agreement attached hereto as Annex A.

Corporation in connection with a proxy contest with management
of the Corporation in respect of the election of directors of
the Corporation at the Annual Meeting.
o High River's agreement to pay the costs of the proxy contest.

B and/or Annex D, as applicable.
Neither the delivery of this Notice in accordance with the Bylaw

ANNEX A
[Form of Nominee Agreement follows]
High River Limited Partnership
_____________, 2005
Dear Mr./Ms. ____________:
This will confirm our understanding as follows:
1. You have agreed to become a member of a slate of nominees (the
"Slate") to stand for election as directors of Mylan Laboratories, Inc.
("MYLAN") and to serve as a director of MYLAN if elected. You understand that
High River Limited Partnership ("High River") intends to nominate you in
connection with a proxy contest (the "Proxy Contest") with management of MYLAN
in respect of the election of directors of MYLAN at the Annual Meeting of
Shareholders of MYLAN (the "Annual Meeting"), expected to be held in 2005, or a
special meeting of shareholders of MYLAN called for a similar purpose (a
"Special Meeting").
2. High River agrees to pay the costs of the Proxy Contest.
3. You understand that, under the Bylaws of MYLAN, it may be difficult,
if not impossible, to replace a nominee who has agreed to serve on the Slate and
later decides not to seek election. Accordingly, the Slate is relying upon your
agreement to seek election at the Annual Meeting or Special Meeting and to serve
as a director if elected. You are being supplied with a questionnaire in which
you will provide information necessary for High River to give the required
notice to MYLAN and to prepare the proxy solicitation materials to be sent to
shareholders of MYLAN and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. You
have agreed that (i) you will immediately complete and sign the questionnaire
and return it to High River, and (ii) your responses to the questions contained
therein will be correct and complete in all respects. In addition, you have
agreed that, concurrently with your execution of this letter, you will execute a
letter or other instrument directed to MYLAN informing MYLAN that you consent to
be a nominee of High River for election as a director of MYLAN and, if elected,
to serve as a director of MYLAN.
4. High River hereby agrees that, if you are part of the Slate as
nominated, High River will defend, indemnify and hold you harmless from and
against any and all losses, claims, damages, penalties, judgments, awards,
liabilities, costs, expenses and disbursements (including, without limitation,
reasonable attorneys' fees, costs, expenses and disbursements) incurred by you
if 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 (each, a "Claim"), to the extent relating solely to your role as
a nominee (or intended nominee) for election as a director of MYLAN on the
Slate. Your right of indemnification hereunder will continue after the election
has taken place, but High River will indemnify you only with respect to events
that occur during the period from the date hereof until the earlier of: (1) the
date of the Annual Meeting or Special Meeting, as the case may be, or (2) such
time when you cease to be an intended nominee on the Slate (in either case, the
"Indemnification Coverage End"). Anything to the contrary herein
notwithstanding, High River will not indemnify, defend or hold you harmless for
(a) any action taken by you or on your behalf that occurs prior to the date
hereof or subsequent to the Indemnification Coverage End, or (b) any actions
taken by you as a director of MYLAN, if you are elected. High River will have no
obligation to indemnify, defend or hold you harmless if: (i) you are found to
have violated any 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) you acted in a manner that constitutes gross
negligence or willful misconduct. To be entitled to indemnification hereunder,
you must promptly notify High River of any Claim made against you or known by
you to be threatened. High River will be entitled to control the defense of any
Claim with counsel chosen by High River. High River will not be responsible for
any settlement of any Claim against you otherwise covered by this indemnity
without the prior written consent of High River. High River may not enter into
any settlement of any Claim without your prior written consent unless the
settlement includes a release of you from any and all liability in respect of
the Claim.
5. Each of us recognizes that should you be elected to the Board of
Directors of MYLAN all of your activities and decisions as a director will be
governed by applicable law and subject to your fiduciary duty to the
shareholders of MYLAN and, as a result there is, and can properly be, no
agreement between you and High River that governs any decisions you make as a
director of MYLAN.
If this letter reflects your understanding of our agreement, please so
indicate by signing in the space provided below and returning one signed copy to
us, whereupon this letter will become a binding agreement between us.

ANNEX B
ATTACHMENT 5
INFORMATION ABOUT NOMINEE PURSUANT TO SECTION 2.03(C)(I) OF THE BYLAWS
(A)
Name: Carl C. Icahn
Age: 69
Business address: 767 Fifth Avenue, New York, NY 10153
Residence address: 15 West 53rd Street, Penthouse B&C, New York, NY 10019
(B) Principal occupation or employment: See (D)(x) below.
(C) Class or series and number of capital shares of Mylan that are owned
beneficially or of record by Nominee: See (D)(iii) below.
(D) Other information relating to Nominee:
(i) Mr. Icahn has an interest in the election of directors at the 2005 annual
meeting of shareholders of Mylan (the "Annual Meeting") indirectly through (1)
his beneficial ownership of the Shares and (2) his relationship with High River,
which has entered a Nominee Agreement with each Nominee pursuant to which High
River will pay the costs relating to the nominations and will indemnify, defend
and hold harmless the Nominees against certain losses.
(ii) From time to time, Mr. Icahn and his affiliates establish short positions
in securities that they believe will fall in price. On the day Mylan announced a
proposed transaction with King Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("King"), the price of King
common stock increased by roughly 24% over the closing price on the prior day.
As of February 25, 2005, Mr. Icahn and his affiliates have a short position in
5,339,000 shares of King common stock. Mr. Icahn and his affiliates began
establishing such short position in King common stock on July 26, 2004. The last
sale of King's stock short was made by them on January 21, 2005. Mr. Icahn and
his affiliates may continue to increase, or may decrease, their short position
in King stock. The short position currently represents less than 15% of the
value of the Shares, and is therefore a small position, as compared to Mr.
Icahn's beneficial holdings of Mylan common stock. If the proposed Mylan/King
transaction is not consummated, Mr. Icahn and his affiliates will not only
benefit from the fact that Mylan will not be proceeding with a transaction that
Mr. Icahn considers to be very risky and detrimental to Mylan, but they may also
benefit because of their short position in King, and therefore Mr. Icahn and his
affiliates are in a position to benefit if the proposed Mylan/King transaction
is not consummated in a way that is different from other Mylan shareholders.

the Company's Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on February 9, 2005.
Barberry is the sole member of Hopper. Hopper is the general partner of
High River. Barberry is wholly-owned by Mr. Icahn. Mr. Icahn is also the sole
director and executive officer of Barberry, holding positions of the Chairman of
the Board, President and Secretary. As a result of Mr. Icahn's direct or
indirect ownership of and position(s), as applicable, with the Icahn Entities,
Mr. Icahn is in a position directly and indirectly to determine the investment
and voting decisions made by the Icahn Entities.
Each of Barberry, Hopper and Mr. Icahn, by virtue of their
relationships to High River, may be deemed to beneficially own (as that term is
defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
"Exchange Act")) the Shares that High River beneficially owns. Each of Mr.
Icahn, Hopper and Barberry disclaims beneficial ownership of the Shares for all
other purposes. Mr. Icahn, by virtue of his relationship to his wife, Gail
Golden ("Ms. Golden"), may be deemed to beneficially own (as that term is
defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) 10,000 shares of Common Stock that
Ms. Golden beneficially owns. Mr. Icahn disclaims beneficial ownership of such
shares.

proposed King acquisition and providing judicial supervision of Mylan's conduct
of the shareholder vote to ensure a fair voting process and other relief.
(2) High River Limited Partnership v. Mylan Laboratories Inc., et al.,
filed in the United States District Court for the Middle District of

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.

ANNEX C
The written consent of each Nominee to being named as a nominee for
election as a director of Mylan and to serve as a director if elected is
attached to this Annex C.
ANNEX D
Certain Information relating to High River is set forth below.
(i) High River's business address is 100 South Bedford Road, Mount Kisco, New
York 10549. High River is primarily engaged in the business of holding and
investing in securities.
(ii) High River has an interest in the election of directors at the Annual
Meeting through (1) its beneficial ownership of the Shares and (2) the Nominee
Agreements entered with each Nominee pursuant to which High River will pay the
costs relating to the nominations and will indemnify, defend and hold harmless
the Nominees against certain losses.
(iii) From time to time, High River and its affiliates establish short positions
in securities that they believe will fall in price. On the day Mylan announced a
proposed transaction with King Pharmaceuticals, Inc., the price of King common
stock increased by roughly 24% over the closing price on the prior day. As of
February 25, 2005, High River and its affiliates have a short position in
5,339,000 shares of King common stock. High River and its affiliates began
establishing such short position in King common stock on July 26, 2004. The last
sale of King's stock short was made by them on January 21, 2005. High River and
its affiliates may continue to increase, or may decrease, their short position
in King stock. The short position currently represents less than 15% of the
value of the Shares, and is therefore a small position, as compared to High
River's beneficial holdings of Mylan common stock. If the proposed Mylan/King
transaction is not consummated, High River and its affiliates will not only
benefit from the fact that Mylan will not be proceeding with a transaction that
High River considers to be very risky and detrimental to Mylan, but they may
also benefit because of their short position in King, and therefore High River
and its affiliates are in a position to benefit if the proposed Mylan/King
transaction is not consummated in a way that is different from other Mylan
shareholders.
(iv) The following table indicates the date of each purchase or sale of
securities of Mylan by High River within the past two years, and the number of
shares in each such purchase or sale.

Exhibit C
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
ICAHN REACTS TO TERMINATION OF MYLAN/KING TRANSACTION,
NOTIFIES MYLAN OF DIRECTOR SLATE
New York, New York, February 28, 2005
Contact: Susan Gordon (212) 702-4309
Carl C. Icahn today responded to the announcement by Mylan Laboratories, Inc.
and King Pharmaceuticals that they have terminated their agreement for the
proposed Mylan/King transaction. Mr. Icahn stated that the announcement was a
victory for all Mylan shareholders and a victory for shareholder activisim in
general. "Shareholders must speak out when management is pursuing a course of
action that they object to" Mr. Icahn noted. "In this case, we believed that the
King transaction would have been a serious and possibly fatal mistake for
Mylan."
Mr. Icahn went on to observe that "as the shareholder with the largest ownership
interest in Mylan, I have lost faith in the current Mylan Board, as I believe
many other large shareholders have." Mr. Icahn believes that the course top
Mylan management is pursuing may continue to deteriorate values at Mylan and
that, therefore, shareholders should have the right to determine if they want to
have the company sold now.
Mr. Icahn restated his announcement that he is putting up a slate of directors
to stand against the Mylan Board at the upcoming annual shareholder meeting.
However, Mr. Icahn hopes that a proxy fight will not be necessary and that the
Mylan Board will allow shareholders to decide if they want the company sold. In
this regard, Mr. Icahn's affiliate, High River Limited Partnership, continues to
stand by its prior proposal to acquire Mylan for $20 per share without a
"break-up fee", which it believes would set up a bidding process for Mylan.
Information regarding Mr. Icahn's nominees will be set forth in a 13D filing
with the SEC.
