The Agents propose to offer the Notes initially at a public offering price equal to the Issue Price set forth above and may offer the Notes to certain dealers at such price less a concession not in excess of 0.20% of the principal amount of the Notes. The Agents may allow, and the dealers may reallow, a discount not in excess of 0.10% of the principal amount of the Notes on sales to certain other dealers. After the initial public offering, the public offering price and other selling terms may from time to time be varied by the Agents. Lehman Brothers Holdings has agreed to indemnify the Agents against liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or to contribute to payments that the Agents may be required to make relating to these liabilities as described in the Prospectus. Lehman Brothers Holdings will pay certain expenses, expected to be approximately $75,000, associated with the offer and sale of the Notes. The Notes are a new issue of securities with no established trading market. Lehman Brothers Holdings has been advised by the Agents that they may make a market in the Notes, but they are 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. Certain of the underwriters and their affiliates have in the past provided, and may in the future from time to time provide, investment banking and/or general financing and/or banking services to Lehman Brothers Holdings and its affiliates, for which they have in the past received, and may in the future receive, customary fees. Each 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. Each 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 any Notes other 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). Each 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 supplement, the accompanying 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. Certain of the Agents may not be U.S. registered broker-dealers and accordingly will not effect any sales within the United States except in compliance with applicable U.S. laws and regulations, including the rules of the NASD. Certain of the Agents may make the securities available for distribution on the Internet through a proprietary website and/or a third-party system operated by Market Axess Corporation, an Internet-based communications technology provider. Market Axess Corporation is providing the system as a conduit for communications between such Agents and their customers and is not a party to this offering. Market Axess Corporation, a registered broker-dealer, will receive compensation from such Agents based on transactions that such Agents conduct through the system. Such Agents will make the securities available to their customers through the Internet distributions, whether made through a proprietary or third-party system, on the same terms as distributions made through other channels. It is expected that delivery of the Notes will be made against payment therefor 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. If the Notes are sold in a market-making transaction after their initial sale, information about the purchase price and the date of the sale will be provided in a separate confirmation of sale.
