Exhibit 4.18
 
SUBSCRIPTION AGENT AGREEMENT

THIS SUBSCRIPTION AGENT AGREEMENT ("Agreement") between Icahn Enterprises L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the "Company"), and Registrar and Transfer Company, a New Jersey corporation (the "Agent"), is dated as of November 30, 2011.

 
1.
Appointment.

 
a.
The Company is distributing at no charge (the "Rights Offering") to its unitholders of record at the close of business on or about December 19, 2011 (the "Record Date"), transferable subscription rights (the "Rights") to purchase up to an aggregate of approximately 15 million depositary units representing limited partner interests (the "Depositary Units"). Each unitholder will receive a fraction of a Right to be determined prior to the Record Date for each Depositary Unit owned. Each whole Right will entitle the unitholder to purchase one (1) Depositary Unit at a purchase price per Depositary Unit to be determined prior to the Record Date (the "Subscription Price"). The term "Subscribed" shall mean submitted for purchase from the Company by a unitholder in accordance with the terms of the Rights Offering, and the term "Subscription" shall mean any such submission.

 
b.
The Rights Offering will expire on or about January 9, 2012 at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Daylight Savings Time (it being understood that the Rights Offering will be open for between 16 and 30 days) (the "Expiration Time"), unless the Company shall have extended the period of time for which the Rights Offering is open, in which event the term "Expiration Time" shall mean the latest time and date at which the Rights Offering, as so extended by the Company from time to time, shall expire.

 
c.
The Company expects to file a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-158705) relating to the Rights Offering with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, on or about December 1, 2011 (the "Registration Statement"). The terms of the Rights Offering will be more fully described in the Prospectus (the "Prospectus") forming part of the Registration Statement as such Registration Statement may be declared effective by the SEC. All terms used and not defined herein shall have the same meaning as in the Prospectus. Promptly after the Record Date, the Agent, in its capacity as transfer agent, will generate a list of holders of Depositary Units as of the Record Date (the "Record Unitholders List").

 
d.
The Company hereby appoints the Agent to act as subscription agent and information agent (the "Agent") for the Rights Offering in accordance with and subject to the following terms and conditions.

 
 

 
 
 
2.
Subscription of Rights.

 
a.
The Rights are evidenced by subscription rights certificates (the "Certificates"). The Certificates entitle the holders to subscribe, upon payment of the Subscription Price, for Depositary Units at a rate per Right to be determined prior to the Record Date evidenced by a Certificate (the "Basic Subscription Right"). No fractional Depositary Units will be issued. In the event that the number of Rights submitted by a holder are exercisable for a number of Depositary Units that is not a whole number, the number of Depositary Units issuable to such holder will be rounded up to the nearest whole Depositary Unit.

 
b.
The Rights Offering includes an over-subscription right entitling holders that fully exercise their Basic Subscription Right, to subscribe and pay the Subscription Price for Depositary Units that are not subscribed for under the Basic Subscription Rights by other holders of Rights (the "Over-Subscription Right"). Reference is made to the Prospectus for a complete description of the Basic Subscription Right and the Over-Subscription Right and the proration thereof.

 
 
3.
Duties of Agent. As Agent, the Agent is authorized and directed to perform the following:

 
a.
Issue the Certificates in accordance with this Agreement in the names of the holders of the Depositary Units of record or other nominees on the Record Date, keep such records as are necessary for the purpose of recording such issuance, and furnish a copy of such records to the Company. The Certificates may be signed on behalf of the Agent by the manual or facsimile signature of a Vice President or Assistant Vice President of the Agent, or by the manual signature of any of its other authorized officers.

 
b.
Promptly after the Agent receives the Record Unitholders List, the Agent shall

 
i.
mail or cause to be mailed, by first class mail, or deliver (which delivery may be done electronically through the facilities of the Depository Trust Company ("DTC") or otherwise) to each holder of Depositary Units of record on the Record Date whose address of record is within the United States, (i) a Certificate evidencing the Rights to which such unitholder is entitled under the Rights Offering, (ii) a copy of the Prospectus, and (iii) a return envelope addressed to the Agent; and

 
ii.
mail or cause to be mailed, to each holder of Depositary Units of record on the Record Date whose address of record is outside the United States, or is an A.P.O. or F.P.O. address, a copy of the Prospectus. The Agent shall refrain from mailing Certificates issuable to any holder of Depositary Units of record on the Record Date whose address of record is outside the United States, or is an A.P.O. or F.P.O. address, and hold such Certificates for the account of such unitholder subject to such unitholder making satisfactory arrangements with the Agent for the exercise of the Rights evidenced thereby, and follow the instructions of such unitholder for the exercise of such Rights if such instructions are received at or before 11:00 a.m., Eastern Daylight Savings Time, at least three business days prior to the Expiration Time.

 
 

 
 
 
c.
Accept Subscriptions upon the due exercise (including payment of the Subscription Price) on or prior to the Expiration Time of Rights in accordance with the terms of the Certificates and the Prospectus.

 
d.
Subject to the next sentence, accept Subscriptions from unitholders whose Certificates are alleged to have been lost, stolen, or destroyed upon receipt by the Agent of an affidavit of theft, loss, or destruction and a bond of indemnity in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent, accompanied by payment of the Subscription Price for the total number of Rights Subscribed. Upon receipt of such affidavit and bond of indemnity and compliance with any other applicable requirements, stop orders shall be placed on said Certificates and the Agent shall withhold delivery of the Rights Subscribed for until after the Certificates have expired and it has been determined that the Rights evidenced by the Certificates have not otherwise been purported to have been exercised or otherwise surrendered.

 
e.
Accept Subscriptions, without further authorization or direction from the Company, without procuring supporting legal papers or other proof of authority to sign (including without limitation proof of appointment of a fiduciary or other person acting in a representative capacity), and without signatures of co-fiduciaries, co-representatives, or any other person:

 
i.
if the Certificate is registered in the name of a fiduciary and is executed by, and the Depositary Units is to be issued in the name of, such fiduciary;

 
ii.
if the Certificate is registered in the name of joint tenants and is executed by one of the joint tenants, provided the Depositary Units is to be issued in the names of, and is to be delivered to, such joint tenants;

 
iii.
if the Certificate is registered in the name of a corporation and is executed by a person in a manner which appears or purports to be done in the capacity of an officer, or agent thereof, provided the Depositary Units is to be issued in the name of such corporation; or

 
iv.
if the Certificate is registered in the name of an individual and is executed by a person purporting to act as such individual's executor, administrator, or personal representative, provided, the Depositary Units is to be registered in the name of the subscriber as executor or administrator of the estate of the deceased registered holder and there is no evidence indicating the subscriber is not the duly authorized representative that he purports to be.
 
 
 

 

 
 
f.
Refer to the Company, for specific instructions as to acceptance or rejection, Subscriptions received after the Expiration Time, Subscriptions not authorized to be accepted, and Subscriptions otherwise failing to comply with the requirements of the Prospectus and the terms and conditions of the Certificates.

 
4.
Acceptance of Subscriptions. Upon acceptance of a Subscription, the Agent shall from time to time during the offering:

 
a.
Hold all monies received in a dedicated, non-interest bearing account for the benefit of the Company. Promptly following the Expiration Time, the Agent shall distribute to the Company the funds from exercise of the Basic Subscription Rights and Over-Subscription Rights in such account and following the Expiration Date issue (in physical form or electronically through the facilities of DTC, in each case in a manner approved by the Company) certificates for Depositary Units issuable with respect to Subscriptions that have been accepted. The Agent will not be obligated to calculate or pay interest to any holder or any other party claiming through a holder or otherwise. In the event that the Rights Offering is not consummated because the Company has withdrawn, cancelled or terminated the Rights Offering, the Agent shall liquidate the segregated account in which the subscription monies were held as promptly as practicable and distribute the funds to each respective subscribing unitholder who elected to exercise its Rights.

 
b.
Advise the Company weekly by email transmission to [    ] and confirm by letter to the attention of Jesse Lynn (the "Company Representative") as to the total number of Depositary Units Subscribed for and the amount of funds received, with cumulative totals for each; and in addition advise the Company Representative, by telephone at [       ], confirmed by facsimile transmission [       ], of the amount of funds received identified in accordance with (a) above, deposited, available, or transferred in accordance with (a) above, with cumulative totals; and

 
c.
As promptly as possible but in any event on or before 3:30p.m., Eastern Daylight Savings Time, on the first full business day following the Expiration Time, advise the Company Representative in accordance with (b) above of the estimated number of Depositary Units Subscribed and the estimated number of Depositary Units unsubscribed (with final numbers to follow 3 business days following the Expiration Time).

 
 
5.
Completion of Rights Offering. Upon completion of the Rights Offering:

 
a.
The Agent shall issue (in physical form or electronically through the facilities of DTC, in each case in a manner approved by the Company) certificates for the Depositary Units for which Subscriptions have been received.
 
 
 

 

 
 
b.
The Certificates may be physical certificates but may, as instructed by the Company, be issued electronically through the facilities of DTC.

 
c.
For so long as this Agreement shall be in effect, the Company will reserve for issuance and keep available free from preemptive rights a sufficient number of Depositary Units to permit the exercise in full of all Rights issued pursuant to the Rights Offering. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Agent in its capacity as Transfer Agent for the Depositary Units, will issue (in physical form or electronically through the facilities of DTC, in each case in a manner approved by the Company) certificates evidencing the appropriate number of Depositary Units as required from time to time in order to effectuate the Subscriptions.

 
d.
The Company shall take any and all action, including without limitation obtaining the authorization, consent, lack of objection, registration, or approval of any governmental authority, or the taking of any other action under the laws of the United States of America or any political subdivision thereof, to insure that all Depositary Units issuable upon the exercise of the Certificates at the time of delivery of the certificates therefor (subject to payment of the Subscription Price) will be duly and validly issued and fully paid and non-assessable Depositary Units, free from all preemptive rights and taxes, liens, charges, and security interests created by or imposed upon the Company with respect thereto.
 
 
e.
The Company shall from time to time take all action necessary or appropriate to obtain and keep effective all registrations, permits, consents, and approvals of the SEC and any other governmental agency or authority and make such filings under federal and state laws which may be necessary or appropriate in connection with the issuance and delivery of Certificates or the issuance, sale, transfer, and delivery of Depositary Units issued upon exercise of Certificates.
 
 
6.
Procedure for Discrepancies. The Agent shall follow its regular procedures to attempt to reconcile any discrepancies between the number of Depositary Units that any Certificate may indicate are to be issued to a unitholder and the number that the Record Unitholders List indicates may be issued to such unitholder. In any instance where the Agent cannot reconcile such discrepancies by following such procedures, the Agent will consult with the Company for instructions as to the number of Depositary Units, if any, it is authorized to issue. In the absence of such instructions, the Agent is authorized not to issue any Depositary Units to such unitholder.

 
7.
Procedure for Deficient Items. The Agent shall examine the Certificates received by it as Agent to ascertain whether they appear to have been properly completed and executed. In the event the Agent determines that any Certificate does not appear to have been properly completed or executed, or where the Certificates do not appear to be in proper form for Subscription, or any other irregularity in connection with the Subscription appears to exist, the Agent shall follow, where possible, its regular procedures to attempt to cause such irregularity to be corrected. The Agent is not authorized to waive any irregularity in connection with the Subscription, unless the Agent shall have received from the Company the Certificate which was delivered, duly dated and signed by an authorized officer of the Company, indicating that any irregularity in such Certificate has been cured or waived and that such Certificate has been accepted by the Company. If any such irregularity is neither corrected nor waived, the Agent will return to the subscribing unitholder (at its option by either first class mail under a blanket surety bond or insurance protecting the Agent and the Company from losses or liabilities arising out of the non-receipt or nondelivery of Certificates or by registered mail insured separately for the value of such Certificates) to such unitholder's address as set forth in the Subscription any Certificates surrendered in connection therewith and any other documents received with such Certificates, and a letter of notice to be furnished by the Company explaining the reasons for the return of the Certificates and other documents.
 
 
 

 

 
 
8.
Date/Time Stamp. Each document received by the Agent relating to its duties hereunder shall be dated and time stamped when received.
 
 
9.
Tax Reporting. Should any issue arise regarding federal income tax reporting or withholding, the Agent shall take such action as the Company reasonably instructs in writing.
 
 
10.

Upon any such termination, the Agent shall be relieved and discharged of any further responsibilities with respect to its duties hereunder. Upon payment of all the Agent's outstanding fees and expenses, the Agent shall forward to the Company or its designee promptly any Certificate or other document relating to the Agent's duties hereunder that the Agent may receive after its appointment has so terminated. Sections 11, 12, 13, and 17 of this Agreement shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

Anything in this agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in no event shall the Agent be liable for special, indirect, incidental, or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits), even if the Agent has been advised of the likelihood of such damages and regardless of the form of action. Any liability of the Agent will be limited to the amount of fees paid by the Company hereunder.

In addition, the Agent may require for such purpose, but shall not be obligated to require, the execution of such written settlement by all the unitholders and all other parties that may have an interest in the settlement.

Icahn Enterprises L.P.
767 Fifth Avenue, Suite 4700
New York, NY 10153

Ladies and Gentlemen:
 
We have acted as counsel to Icahn Enterprises L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("Icahn Enterprises"), with respect to the preparation and filing of a Registration Statement on Form S-3, as may be amended from time to time (the “Registration Statement”), with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), on December 1, 2011.  The Registration Statement includes a prospectus (the “Prospectus”) to be furnished to holders of the depositary units representing limited partner interests in Icahn Enterprises (the "Depositary Units") in connection with the distribution by Icahn Enterprises to such holders of transferable subscription rights (the “Subscription Rights”) entitling the holders thereof to purchase additional Depositary Units (the “Rights Offering”). The additional Depositary Units that may be issued and sold by Icahn Enterprises upon exercise of the Subscription Rights are referred to herein as the “Rights Units.” The Registration Statement relates to the Subscription Rights and the Rights Units.
 
In giving this opinion, we have examined the original or certified, conformed or photostatic copies of:  (i) Icahn Enterprises’ Certificate of Limited Partnership, as amended to date (the “Certificate of Limited Partnership”); (ii) Icahn Enterprises’ Agreement of Limited Partnership, as amended to date (the “Limited Partnership Agreement”); (iii) a certificate of good standing for Icahn Enterprises issued by the Secretary of State of Delaware; (iv) records of all proceedings relating to Rights Offering, including, without limitation, the minutes of the Special Meeting of the Board of Directors of Icahn Enterprises G.P., Inc., a Delaware corporation, that is the general partner of Icahn Enterprises (the “General Partner”) held on November 30, 2011; (v) the Registration Statement; (vi) the proposed form of the Subscription Rights certificate; and (v) originals, or copies certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of such other documents, certificates, instruments, records and such other legal matters as we have deemed necessary or relevant for purposes of rendering this opinion. In addition, we have made such inquiries of such officers and representatives of Icahn Enterprises and the General Partner as we have deemed necessary or relevant for purposes of rendering this opinion.

In our examination, we have assumed (i) the legal capacity of all natural persons, the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity and completeness of all documents submitted to us as originals and the conformity to authentic originals and completeness of all documents submitted to us as photostatic, conformed, notarized or certified copies as we considered necessary or appropriate for enabling us to express the opinions set forth below; (ii) that the Registration Statement, and any amendments thereto (including post-effective amendments), will have become effective and comply with all applicable laws; and (iii) that the Rights Units will be issued and sold in the manner specified in the Registration Statement and any applicable supplement to the Prospectus. As to facts material to the opinions, statements and assumptions expressed herein, we have, with your consent, relied upon oral or written statements and representations of officers and other representatives of Icahn Enterprises and the General Partner. We have not independently verified such factual matters.
 
Boca Raton | Boston | Chicago | Hong Kong | London | Los Angeles | New Orleans | New York | Newark | Paris | São Paulo | Washington, D.C.
 
 

 
 
 
Based upon, and subject to, the foregoing, assuming no change in the applicable law or pertinent facts, we are of the opinion that:

 
1.  
the Subscription Rights have been duly authorized and, when issued, will be the valid and binding obligations of Icahn Enterprises, enforceable against Icahn Enterprises in accordance with their terms, except to the extent that enforcement thereof may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally and subject to general principles of equity, regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding at law or in equity; and

 
2.  
the Rights Units, when issued and delivered against payment therefor upon due exercise of Subscription Rights, will be validly issued and the purchasers of the Rights Units will have no obligation to make payments to Icahn Enterprises or its creditors (other than the purchase price for the Rights Units) or contributions to Icahn Enterprises or its creditors solely by reason of the purchaser’s ownership of the Rights Units.

The opinions set forth herein are based upon and expressly limited to the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act and we do not purport to be experts on, or to express any opinion with respect to the applicability thereto, or to the effect, of the laws of any other jurisdiction or as to matters of local law or the laws of local governmental departments or agencies within the State of Delaware. Our opinion is expressly limited to the matters set forth above and we render no opinion, whether by implication or otherwise, as to any other matters. Our opinion expressed herein is as of the date hereof, and we undertake no obligation to advise you of any changes in applicable law or any other matters that may come to our attention after the date hereof that may affect our opinion expressed herein.

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion with the Commission as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and to the reference to our firm under the caption "Legal Matters" in the Prospectus included in the Registration Statement. In giving this consent, we do not admit that we are included in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act or the rules and regulations of the Commission.
 
Very truly yours,
 
/s/ Proskauer Rose LLP

Ladies and Gentlemen:
 
We have acted as counsel to Icahn Enterprises L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("Icahn Enterprises") with respect to the preparation and filing of a Registration Statement on Form S-3, as may be amended from time to time (the “Registration Statement”), with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) on December 1, 2011.  The Registration Statement includes a prospectus (the “Prospectus”) to be furnished to holders of the depositary units representing limited partner interests in Icahn Enterprises (the "Depositary Units") in connection with the distribution by Icahn Enterprises to such unitholders of transferable subscription rights (the “Subscription Rights”) entitling the holders thereof to purchase additional Depositary Units (the “Rights Offering”). The additional Depositary Units that may be issued and sold by Icahn Enterprises upon exercise of the Subscription Rights are referred to herein as the “Rights Units.” The Registration Statement relates to the Subscription Rights and the Rights Units.

Our opinion is expressed as of the date hereof and is based on provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder, published pronouncements of the Internal Revenue Service, and case law, in each case as in effect as of the date hereof, any of which may be changed at any time with retroactive effect.  Any change in applicable laws or facts or in circumstances surrounding the Offering may affect the validity of our opinion.    We assume no responsibility to inform you of any change or inaccuracy that may occur or may come to our attention.  Further, our opinion is not binding on the Internal Revenue Service or a court.  There can be no assurance that the Internal Revenue Service will not take contrary positions or that a court would agree with our opinion if litigated.
 
We consent to the filing of this opinion as Exhibit 8.1 of the Registration Statement and to the reference to our firm under the headings “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations” and “Experts” in the Prospectus included in the Registration Statement.   By giving these consents, we do not admit that we are experts within the meaning of Section 7 or Section 11 of the Securities Act, or the rules and regulations of the Commission issued thereunder.

EXHIBIT 99.1
 
FORM OF
INSTRUCTIONS
AS TO USE OF
ICAHN ENTERPRISES L.P.
RIGHTS CERTIFICATES
 
CONSULT THE INFORMATION AGENT, YOUR BANK OR
BROKER AS TO ANY QUESTIONS
 
The following instructions relate to a rights offering (the “Rights Offering”) by Icahn Enterprises L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Partnership”), to the holders of record (the “Record Holders”) of its depositary units representing limited partner interests (the “depositary units”), as described in the Partnership’s prospectus (the “Prospectus”) dated [             ]. Record Holders of depositary units as of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on [             ] (the “Record Date”) are receiving transferable subscription rights (the “Rights”) to subscribe for and purchase depositary units representing limited partner interests (“depositary units”). An aggregate of [             ] underlying depositary units are being offered pursuant to the Prospectus. Each Record Holder will receive [        ] Rights for each depositary unit owned of record as of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Record Date. The Rights will expire, if not exercised, at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on [             ] (as it may be extended, the “Expiration Date”), unless extended by the Partnership as described in the Prospectus. After the Expiration Date, unexercised Rights will be null and void.
 
The Partnership will not be obligated to honor any purported exercise of Rights received by Registrar and Transfer Company (the “Subscription Agent”) after 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date, regardless of when the documents relating to such exercise were sent, except pursuant to the Guaranteed Delivery Procedures described below. The Partnership may extend the Expiration Date in certain circumstances by giving oral or written notice to the Subscription Agent on or before the Expiration Date, followed by a press release no later than 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the next business day after the previously scheduled Expiration Date.
 
The depositary units are traded on The NASDAQ Global Select Market ("NASDAQ") under the symbol “IEP” and we expect that the depositary units issued in the rights offering will also be listed on NASDAQ under the same symbol. The Rights are transferable and have been approved for listing on NASDAQ under the symbol “[    ].” The Rights will be evidenced by Rights certificates (the “Rights Certificates”), which will be transferable until the close of business on the last NASDAQ trading day preceding the Expiration Date, at which time they will cease to have value.
 
No fractional depositary units will be issued. If your Rights would allow you to purchase a fractional depositary unit, you may exercise your Rights only by rounding down to the nearest whole depositary unit or by paying for any lesser number of whole underlying depositary units.
 
 
1

 
 
Each whole Right entitles the holder thereof to purchase one depositary unit (the “Basic Subscription”) at the cash price of $[       ] (the “Subscription Price”). In addition, you are entitled to subscribe for additional depositary units at the same Subscription Price (the “Over-Subscription Right”). Over-Subscription Rights will be fulfilled with any excess depositary units (the “Excess Depositary Units”) for which Basic Subscription Rights are not exercised. If all Basic Subscription Rights are exercised, then no Over-Subscription Rights will be fulfilled. If the number of depositary units for which Over-Subscription Rights are exercised exceeds the number of Excess Depositary Units, then exercised Over-Subscription Rights will be fulfilled pro rata based on the number of Basic Subscription Rights each such holder exercised.
 
The number of Basic Subscription Rights to which you are entitled is printed on the face of your Rights Certificate. You should indicate your wishes with regard to the exercise of your Basic Subscription Rights and Over-Subscription Rights by completing the appropriate portions of your Rights Certificate and returning the certificate to the Subscription Agent in the envelope provided, in accordance with these instructions and the terms set forth in the Prospectus.
 
YOUR RIGHTS CERTIFICATES, OR NOTICE OF GUARANTEED DELIVERY, AND SUBSCRIPTION PRICE PAYMENT, INCLUDING FINAL CLEARANCE OF ANY CHECKS, MUST BE RECEIVED BY THE SUBSCRIPTION AGENT, BY 5:00 P.M., NEW YORK CITY TIME, ON THE EXPIRATION DATE. ONCE A HOLDER OF RIGHTS HAS EXERCISED ITS SUBSCRIPTION PRIVILEGE, SUCH EXERCISE MAY NOT BE REVOKED. RIGHTS NOT EXERCISED PRIOR TO THE EXPIRATION DATE OF THE RIGHTS OFFERING WILL EXPIRE WITHOUT ANY VALUE.
 
(i)
Method of Subscription- Exercise of Rights
 
Rights may be exercised by completing and signing the Form of Election to Purchase on the Rights Certificate and mailing it in the envelope provided, or otherwise delivering the completed and duly executed Rights Certificate to the Subscription Agent, together with payment in full for the depositary units at the subscription price by the Expiration Date, unless delivery of the Rights Certificate is effected pursuant to the guaranteed delivery procedures. Completed Rights Certificates and related payments must be received by the Subscription Agent prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on or before the Expiration Date, at the offices of the Subscription Agent at the address set forth above, unless delivery of the Rights Certificate is effected pursuant to the guaranteed delivery procedures described below.
 
Rights holders may exercise their Over-Subscription Rights by indicating on their Rights Certificate the number of additional depositary units they are willing to acquire. If sufficient Excess Depositary Units are available after the exercise of the Basic Subscription Right, all Over-Subscription Rights will be honored in full; otherwise, remaining Excess Depositary Units will be allocated on a pro rata basis. All proration calculations related to Over-Subscription Rights will be made based on each individual exercise of Rights and will not be aggregated by holder.
 
 
2

 

Record Date unitholders whose depositary units are held by a nominee, such as a broker, dealer, custodian bank, trustee or other nominee, must contact that nominee to exercise their Rights. In that case, the nominee will exercise the Rights on behalf of the Record Date unitholder and arrange for proper payment.
 
You should complete and send to that record holder the applicable subscription documents from your record holder with the other Rights Offering materials. While we will not charge any fee or sales commission to Rights holders for exercising their Rights (other than the Subscription Price), if you exercise your Rights and/or sell any underlying depositary units through a broker, dealer, custodian bank, trustee or other nominee, you are responsible for any fees charged by your broker, dealer, custodian bank, trustee or other nominee.
 
All exercises of Rights are irrevocable. Once you send in your Rights Certificate or Notice of Guaranteed Delivery and payment, you cannot revoke the exercise of either your Basic Subscription Rights or Over-Subscription Rights, even if the market price of our depositary units is below the Subscription Price. You should not exercise your Rights unless you are certain that you wish to purchase additional depositary units at the Subscription Price.
 
The Partnership will accept only properly completed and duly executed Rights Certificates actually received at any of the addresses listed below, at or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date, unless delivery of the Rights Certificate is effected pursuant to the guaranteed delivery procedures.

With respect to all other unitholders, certificates for all depositary units acquired will be mailed.

To sell Rights evidenced by a Rights Certificate through your commercial bank or broker, complete and execute the Assignment Form on the Rights Certificate. You must have your signature on the Assignment Form guaranteed by an Eligible Institution and deliver your Rights Certificate and the accompanying envelope to your commercial bank or broker. Your Rights Certificate should be delivered to your commercial bank or broker in ample time for it to be exercised. If the Assignment Form is completed without designating a transferee, the Subscription Agent may thereafter treat the bearer of the Rights Certificate as the absolute owner of all of the Rights evidenced by such Rights Certificate for all purposes, and the Subscription Agent shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary. Because your commercial bank or broker cannot issue Rights Certificates, if you wish to sell less than all of the Rights evidenced by a Rights Certificate, either you or your commercial bank or broker must instruct the Subscription Agent as to the action to be taken with respect to the Rights not sold, or you or your commercial bank or broker must first have your Rights Certificate divided into Rights Certificates of appropriate denominations by following the instructions in Section 4 of these instructions. The Rights Certificates evidencing the number of Rights you intend to sell can then be transferred by your commercial bank or broker in accordance with the instructions in this Section 3(a).

(b)           Transfer of Rights to a Designated Transferee. To transfer your Rights to a transferee other than a commercial bank or broker, you must complete the Assignment Form in its entirety, execute the Rights Certificate and have your signature guaranteed in by an Eligible Institution. A Rights Certificate that has been properly transferred in its entirety may be exercised by a new holder without having a new Rights Certificate issued. In order to exercise, or otherwise take action with respect to, such a transferred Rights Certificate, the new holder should deliver the Rights Certificate, together with payment of the applicable Subscription Price and complete separate instructions signed by the new holder, to the Subscription Agent in ample time to permit the Subscription Agent to take the desired action. Because only the Subscription Agent can issue Rights Certificates, if you wish to transfer less than all of the Rights evidenced by your Rights Certificate to a designated transferee, you must instruct the Subscription Agent as to the action to be taken with respect to the Rights not sold or transferred, or you must divide your Rights Certificate into Rights Certificates of appropriate smaller denominations by following the instructions in Section 4 below. The Rights Certificate evidencing the number of Rights you intend to transfer can then be transferred by following the instructions in this Section 3(b).

(c)           Rights holders wishing to transfer a portion of their Rights (or all of their Rights in separate portions) should allow a sufficient amount of time prior to the Expiration Date for (i) the transfer instructions to be received and processed by the Subscription Agent, (ii) a new Rights Certificate to be issued and transmitted to the transferee or transferees with respect to transferred Rights and to the transferor with respect to retained Rights, if any, and (iii) the Rights evidenced by such new Rights Certificates to be exercised or sold by the recipients thereof. The Subscription Agent will facilitate transfers of Rights Certificates only until 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on [                 ], the third business day before the Expiration Date.

 
4

 

(d)           Neither the Partnership nor the Subscription Agent shall have any liability to a transferee or transferor of Rights if Rights Certificates or any other required documents are not received in time for exercise or sale prior to the Expiration Date.

(e)           Commissions, Fees and Expenses. The Partnership will pay all fees charged by the Subscription Agent, other than fees associated with the sale or transfer of Rights, and the fees charged by the Information Agent. You are responsible for paying any other commissions, fees, taxes or other expenses incurred in connection with the exercise of the Rights. Neither the Partnership nor the Subscription Agent nor the Information Agent will pay such expenses. The Partnership has agreed to indemnify the Subscription Agent from certain liabilities that they may incur in connection with the issuance of the Rights and the depositary units if you exercise your Rights.
 
(iv)
Division of Rights Certificate into Smaller Denominations
 
To have a Rights Certificate divided into smaller denominations, send your Rights Certificate, together with complete separate instructions (including specification of the denominations into which you wish your Rights to be divided) signed by you, to the Subscription Agent, allowing a sufficient amount of time for new Rights Certificates to be issued and returned so that they can be used prior to the Expiration Date. Alternatively, you may ask a commercial bank or broker to effect such actions on your behalf. The Subscription Agent will facilitate subdivisions of Rights Certificates only until 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on [                 ], three business days prior to the Expiration Date. Your signature must be guaranteed in Form 5 by an Eligible Institution if any of the new Rights Certificates are to be issued in a name other than that in which the old Rights Certificate was issued. As a result of delays in the mail, the time of the transmittal, the necessary processing time and other factors, you or your transferee may not receive such new Rights Certificates in time to enable the Rights holder to complete a sale or exercise by the Expiration Date. Neither the Partnership nor the Subscription Agent nor the Information Agent will be liable to either a transferor or transferee for any such delays.

(v)
Execution
 
(A)           Execution by Registered Holder. The signature on the Rights Certificate must correspond with the name of the registered holder exactly as it appears on the face of the Rights Certificate without any alteration or change whatsoever. Persons who sign the Rights Certificate in a representative or other fiduciary capacity must indicate their capacity when signing and, unless waived by the Subscription Agent in its sole and absolute discretion, must present to the Subscription Agent satisfactory evidence of their authority to so act.
 
(B)           Execution by Person Other than Registered Holder. If the Rights Certificate is executed by a person other than the holder named on the face of the Rights Certificate, proper evidence of authority of the person executing the Rights Certificate must accompany the same unless the Subscription Agent, in its discretion, dispenses with proof of authority.
 
 
5

 
 
(C)           Signature Guarantees. Your signature must be guaranteed in Form 5 by an Eligible Institution, unless you are an Eligible Institution or your Rights Certificate provides that units are to be delivered to you as record holder of those Rights.
 
(vi)
Method of Delivery
 
The method of delivery of Rights Certificates and payment of the Subscription Price to the Subscription Agent will be at the election and risk of the Rights holder. If sent by mail, it is recommended that such certificates and payments be sent by overnight courier or by registered mail, properly insured, with return receipt requested, and that a sufficient number of days be allowed to ensure delivery to the Subscription Agent and the clearance of payment prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date.
 
(vii)
Special Provisions Relating to the Delivery of Rights Through the Depository Trust Company
 
In the case of Rights that are held of record through the Depository Trust Company (the “Book-Entry Transfer Facility”), exercises of the Rights may be effected by instructing the Book-Entry Transfer Facility to transfer Rights from the Book-Entry Transfer Facility account of such holder to the Book-Entry Transfer Facility account of the Subscription Agent, together with certification as to the aggregate number of Rights exercised and the number of depositary units thereby subscribed for pursuant to the Basic Subscription Right and Over-Subscription Right by each beneficial owner of Rights on whose behalf such nominee is acting, and payment of your Subscription Price for each depositary unit subscribed for pursuant to the Basic Subscription Right and Over-Subscription Right.
 
If your Rights are held of record by a broker, custodian bank or other nominee on your behalf, you may sell your Rights by contacting your broker, custodian bank or other nominee through which you hold your Rights.

Dear Unitholder:
 
This letter is being distributed by Icahn Enterprises L.P. (the “Partnership”) to all holders of record of its depositary units (the “depositary units”) at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on      [                 ] (the “Record Date”), in connection with a distribution in a rights offering (the “Rights Offering”) of transferable subscription rights (the “Rights”) to subscribe for and purchase depositary units. The Rights and the depositary units are described in the Partnership’s prospectus (the “Prospectus”) dated [                 ].
 
In the Rights Offering, the Partnership is offering an aggregate of [_______] depositary units, as described in the Prospectus. The Rights will expire, if not exercised, at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on [                 ] (as it may be extended, the “Expiration Date”), unless extended by the Partnership, as described in the Prospectus.
 
As described in the accompanying Prospectus, you will receive [    ] Rights for each depositary unit owned of record as of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Record Date.
 
Each whole Right entitles the holder thereof to purchase one depositary unit (the “Basic Subscription Right”), at the cash price of $[       ] (the “Subscription Price”). In addition you are entitled to subscribe for additional depositary units at the same Subscription Price (the “Over-Subscription Right”). Over-Subscription Rights will be fulfilled with any excess depositary units (the “Excess Depositary Units”) for which Basic Subscription Rights are not exercised. If all Basic Subscription Rights are exercised, then no Over-Subscription Rights will be fulfilled. If the number of depositary units for which Over-Subscription Rights are exercised exceeds the number of Excess Depositary Units, then exercised Over-Subscription Rights will be fulfilled pro rata based on the number of Basic Subscription Rights each such holder exercised. All proration calculations related to Over-Subscription Rights will be made based on each individual exercise of Rights and will not be aggregated by holder.

The depositary units are traded on The NASDAQ Global Select Market ("NASDAQ") under the symbol “IEP” and we expect that the depositary units issued in the rights offering will also be listed on NASDAQ under the same symbol. The Rights are transferable and have been approved for listing on NASDAQ under the symbol “[    ].” The Rights will be evidenced by Rights certificates (the “Rights Certificates”), which will be transferable until the close of business on the last NASDAQ trading day preceding the Expiration Date, at which time they will cease to have value.

Prospectus;
 
 
Rights Certificate;
 
 
Instructions as to the Use of Icahn Enterprises L.P. Subscription Rights Certificates;
 
 
Notice of Guaranteed Delivery for Rights Certificates Issued by Icahn Enterprises L.P.; and
 
 
A return envelope addressed to Registrar and Transfer Company, the Subscription Agent.
 
Your prompt action is requested. To exercise the Rights, you must properly complete and sign the Rights Certificate (or the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery if you are following the Guaranteed Delivery Procedures) and forward it, with payment of the Subscription Price in full for each depositary unit, as indicated in the Prospectus in the Section entitled “The Rights Offering.”
 
The Subscription Agent must receive the Rights Certificate or Notice of Guaranteed Delivery with payment in full of the Subscription Price, including final clearance of any checks, prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date. FAILURE TO RETURN THE PROPERLY COMPLETED RIGHTS CERTIFICATE WITH THE CORRECT PAYMENT WILL RESULT IN YOUR NOT BEING ABLE TO EXERCISE YOUR RIGHTS. A Rights holder cannot revoke the exercise of its Rights. Rights not exercised prior to the Expiration Date will expire.
 
Additional copies of the enclosed materials may be obtained from Registrar and Transfer Company, the Information Agent. The Information Agent’s telephone number is [             ] (for brokerage firms and banks) or (800) 368-5948 (for unitholders).

In addition, we are asking beneficial owners who wish to obtain a separate Rights Certificate to contact the appropriate nominee as soon as possible and request that a separate Rights Certificate be issued.
