The parties hereto that are parties to the Contribution Agreement agree that in the definition of “Hedge Fund Earnings” in the Contribution Agreement, the reference to “(i) management fees payable to Icahn Capital Management with respect to the Funds pursuant to the Management Agreements” shall be deleted and replaced with “(i) Special Profits Interest Allocation made to the Onshore GP and the Offshore GP with respect to the Master Funds pursuant to the limited partnership agreement of each Master Fund in effect from time to time.” For purposes of clarity, this change will become effective on January 1, 2008 and the management fees paid to Icahn Capital Management prior to such date shal continue to counted in Hedge Fund Earnings.
