If such rate does not appear on Reuters page ISDA FIX3, the rate for such date shall be determined as if the parties had specified "USD-CMS-Reference Banks" as the applicable rate. "USD-CMS-Reference Banks" on any Determination Date will be the rate determined on the basis of the mid-market semi-annual swap rate quotations provided by the Reference Banks at approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City time on such Determination Date; and for this purpose, the semi-annual swap rate means the mean of the bid and offered rates for the semi-annual fixed leg, calculated on a 30/360 day count basis, of a fixed-for-floating U.S. Dollar interest rate swap transaction with a term equal to the Designated Maturity commencing on that date and in a Representative Amount with an acknowledged dealer of good credit in the swap market, where the floating leg, calculated on an actual/360 day count basis, is equivalent to USD-LIBOR-BBA with a designated maturity of three months. The rate for that date will be the arithmetic mean of the quotations, eliminating the highest quotation (or, in the event of equality, one of the highest) and the lowest quotation (or, in the event of equality, one of the lowest). "Reference Banks" means five leading swap dealers in the New York City interbank market selected by the Calculation Agent for the purposes of providing quotations as provided above. "Designated Maturity" means 10 years. "Representative Amount" means an amount that is representative for a single transaction in the relevant market at the relevant time. Interest Computation: Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months or, in the case of an incomplete month, the number of days elapsed.

See "Risk Factors" generally in the Prospectus Supplement. The secondary market for, and the market value of, the Notes will be affected by a number of factors independent of the creditworthiness of Lehman Brothers Holdings, including the level and direction of interest rates, the anticipated level and potential volatility of the 10-Year CMS Rate, the method of calculating the 10-Year CMS Rate, the time remaining to the maturity of the Notes, the aggregate principal amount of the Notes and the availability of comparable instruments. The value of the 10-Year CMS Rate depends on a number of interrelated factors, including economic, financial and political events, over which Lehman Brothers Holdings has no control. The following table, showing the historical level of 10-Year CMS in effect for the hypothetical Interest Determination Dates listed below, illustrates the variability of that rate: Historical Levels of 10-Year CMS Interest Determination 10-Year Interest Determination 10-Year Date CMS Rate Date CMS Rate October 15, 1987 11.060 October 15, 1996 6.904 January 15, 1988 9.570 January 15, 1997 6.858 April 15, 1988 9.640 April 15, 1997 7.247 July 15, 1988 9.860 July 15, 1997 6.639 October 17, 1988 9.560 October 15, 1997 6.559 January 16, 1989 9.760 January 15, 1998 5.963 April 17, 1989 9.960 April 15, 1998 6.097 July 17, 1989 8.910 July 15, 1998 6.034 October 16, 1989 8.900 October 15, 1998 5.449 January 15, 1990 9.060 January 15, 1999 5.514 April 16, 1990 9.570 April 15, 1999 5.916 July 16, 1990 9.260 July 15, 1999 6.621 October 15, 1990 9.500 October 15, 1999 7.013 January 15, 1991 9.060 January 18, 2000 7.502 April 15, 1991 8.610 April 17, 2000 7.230 July 15, 1991 8.810 July 17, 2000 7.351 October 15, 1991 8.020 October 16, 2000 6.925 January 15, 1992 7.600 January 16, 2001 6.148 April 15, 1992 7.840 April 16, 2001 6.185 July 15, 1992 7.251 July 16, 2001 6.039 October 15, 1992 6.933 October 15, 2001 5.313 January 15, 1993 6.933 January 15, 2002 5.504 April 15, 1993 6.238 April 15, 2002 5.808 July 15, 1993 6.037 July 15, 2002 5.140 October 15, 1993 5.537 October 15, 2002 4.607 January 17, 1994 6.051 January 15, 2003 4.506 April 15, 1994 7.432 April 15, 2003 4.367 July 15, 1994 7.624 July 15, 2003 4.299 October 17, 1994 7.989 October 15, 2003 4.834 January 16, 1995 8.108 January 15, 2004 4.345 April 17, 1995 7.424 April 15, 2004 4.843 July 17, 1995 6.611 July 15, 2004 4.973 October 16, 1995 6.368 October 15, 2004 4.486 January 15, 1996 6.140 January 18, 2005 4.580 April 15, 1996 6.909 April 15, 2005 4.730 July 15, 1996 7.264 The historical experience of 10-Year CMS should not be taken as an indication of the future performance of 10-Year CMS during the term of the Notes. Fluctuations in the level of 10-Year CMS make the Notes' effective interest rate difficult to predict and can result in effective interest rates to investors that are lower than anticipated. In addition, historical interest rates are not necessarily indicative of future interest rates. Fluctuations in interest rates and interest rate trends that have occurred in the past are not necessarily indicative of fluctuations that may occur in the future, which may be wider or narrower than those that have occurred historically. UNDERWRITING Lehman Brothers Holdings has agreed to sell to Lehman Brothers Inc. ("the Agent"), and the Agent has agreed to purchase, the principal amount of the Notes. The Agent is committed to take and pay for all of the Notes, if any are taken. The Agent proposes to offer the Notes initially at a public offering price equal to the Issue Price set forth above and to certain dealers at such price. After the initial public offering, the public offering price and other selling terms may from time to time be varied by the Agent. Lehman Brothers Holdings has agreed to indemnify the Agent against liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or to contribute to payments that the Agent may be required to make relating to these liabilities as described in the Prospectus. The Notes are a new issue of securities with no established trading market. Lehman Brothers Holdings has been advised by the Agent that it intends to make a market in the Notes, but it is not obligated to do so and may discontinue market making at any time without notice. No assurance can be given as to the liquidity of the trading market for the Notes. The Agent has represented and agreed that: * it and each of its affiliates have not offered or sold and will not offer or sell any Notes to persons in the United Kingdom prior to the expiry of a period of six months from the issue date of the Notes except to persons whose ordinary activities involve them in acquiring, holding, managing or disposing of investments (as principal or agent) for the purposes of their businesses or otherwise in circumstances which have not resulted and will not result in an offer to the public in the United Kingdom within the meaning of the Public Offers of Securities Regulations of 1995; * it and each of its affiliates have only communicated or caused to be communicated and will only communicate or cause to be communicated any invitation or inducement to engage in investment activity (within the meaning of Section 21 of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (the "FSMA") received by it in connection with the issue or sale of any Notes in circumstances in which Section 21(1) of the FSMA does not apply to Lehman Brothers Holdings; and * it and each of its affiliates have complied and will comply with all applicable provisions of the FSMA with respect to anything done by it in relation to the Notes in, from or otherwise involving the United Kingdom. The Agent has separately further agreed that it has not, directly or indirectly, offered or sold and will not, directly or indirectly, offer or sell in the Netherlands anyNotesother than to persons who trade or invest in securities in the conduct of a profession or business (which include banks, stockbrokers, insurance companies, investment undertakings, pension funds, other institutional investors and finance companies and treasury departments of large enterprises). The Agent has agreed that it will comply with all applicable laws and regulations in force in any jurisdiction in which it offers or sells the Notes or possesses or distributes the Prospectus or any other offering material and will obtain any consent, approval or permission required by it for the offer or sale by it of the Notes under the laws and regulations in force in any jurisdiction to which it is subject or in which it makes such offers or sales. It is expected that delivery of the Notes will be made against payment therefore more than three business days following the date of this pricing supplement. Trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in three business days unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade the securities on any day prior to the third business day before the settlement date will be required to specify an alternative settlement cycle at the time of any such trade to prevent failed settlement. -----END PRIVACY-ENHANCED MESSAGE-----
