The Company may, without the consent of the holders of the Securities, create and issue additional notes ranking equally with the Securities and otherwise similar in all respects so that such further notes shall be consolidated and form a single series with the Securities; provided that no additional notes can be issued if an Event of Default has occurred with respect to the Securities. This series of Securities is one of an indefinite number of series of debt securities of the Company, issued and to be issued under an indenture, dated as of September 1, 1987, as amended (herein called the "Indenture"), duly executed and delivered by the Company and Citibank N.A., as trustee (herein called the "Trustee", which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a description of the rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities. The Alternative Redemption Amount shall be determined by the Calculation Agent pursuant to the Calculation Agency Agreement. All percentages resulting from any calculation with respect to the Securities will be rounded at the Calculation Agent's discretion. The Trustee shall fully rely on the determination by the Calculation Agent of the Maturity Payment Amount and shall have no duty to make any such determination. This Security is not subject to any sinking fund and is not redeemable prior to its Stated Maturity. If an Event of Default with respect to the Securities shall occur and be continuing, the amounts payable on all of the Securities may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. The amount payable to the Holder hereof upon any acceleration permitted under the Indenture will be equal to the Maturity Payment Amount calculated as though the date of acceleration was the Stated Maturity and the date five Business Days prior thereto was the Payment Determination Date. The Indenture contains provisions permitting the Company and the Trustee, with the consent of the holders of not less than 66-?% in aggregate principal amount of each series of Securities at the time Outstanding to be affected (each series voting as a class), evidenced as in the Indenture provided, to execute supplemental indentures adding any provisions to, or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Indenture or of any supplemental indenture or modifying in any manner the rights of the holders of the Securities of all such series; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no such supplemental indenture shall, among other things, (i) change the fixed maturity of any Security, or reduce the principal amount thereof, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest thereon or reduce any premium payable on redemption, or make the principal thereof, or premium, if any, or interest therein payable in any coin or currency other than that hereinabove provided, without the consent of the holder of 4 each Security so affected, or (ii) change the place of payment on any Security, or impair the right to institute suit for payment on any Security, or reduce the aforesaid percentage of Securities, the holders of which are required to consent to any such supplemental indenture, without the consent of the holders of each Security so affected. It is also provided in the Indenture that, prior to any declaration accelerating the maturity of any series of Securities, the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of such series Outstanding may on behalf of the holders of all the Securities of such series waive any past default or Event of Default under the Indenture with respect to such series and its consequences, except a default in the payment of interest, if any or the principal of, or premium if any, on any of the Securities of such series, or in the payment of any sinking fund installment or analogous obligation with respect to Securities of such series. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future holders and owners of this Security and any Securities which may be issued in exchange or substitution hereof, irrespective of whether or not any notation thereof is made upon this Security or such other Securities. No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal amount with respect to this Security. The Securities are issuable in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiples of $1,000. The Company, the Trustee, and any agent of the Company or of the Trustee may deem and treat the registered holder (the "Holder") hereof as the absolute owner of this Security (whether or not this Security shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing hereon), for the purpose of receiving payment hereof, or on account hereof, and for all other purposes and neither the Company nor the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or of the Trustee shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. All such payments made to or upon the order of such registered holder shall, to the extent of the sum or sums paid, effectually satisfy and discharge liability for moneys payable on this Security. No recourse for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on this Security, or for any claim based hereon or otherwise in respect hereof, and no recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement of the Company in the Indenture or any indenture supplemental thereto or in any Security, or because of the creation of any indebtedness represented thereby, shall be had against any incorporator, stockholder, officer or director, as such, past, present or future, of the Company or of any successor corporation, either directly or through the Company or any successor corporation, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability being, by the acceptance hereof and as part of the consideration for the issue hereof, expressly waived and released. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Security is registrable in the Security Register, upon surrender of this Security for registration of transfer at the Corporate Trust Office or agency in a Place of Payment for this Security, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof 5 or such Holder's attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Securities of this series or of like tenor and of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

LEHMAN BROTHERS HOLDINGS INC. By:___________________________ Name: Title: LEHMAN BROTHERS INC., as Calculation Agent By:__________________________ Name: Title: 7 ANNEX A The Index. The Index is the Nasdaq-100 Index(R), as calculated by Nasdaq (the "Index"). Determination of the Maturity Payment Amount. The Calculation Agent shall determine (i) the Capped Quarterly Returns for each of the twelve Reset Periods, (ii) the Equity Return and (iii) the amount payable at Stated Maturity for each $1,000 principal amount of Securities (the "Maturity Payment Amount"). The Maturity Payment Amount shall equal the greater of (a) $1,090 and (b) the Alternative Redemption Amount. Discontinuance of the Index. If Nasdaq discontinues publication of the Index and Nasdaq or another entity publishes a successor or substitute index (the "Successor Index") that the Calculation Agent determines, in its sole discretion, to be comparable to the discontinued Index, then the Calculation Agent shall calculate the Capped Quarterly Returns for each Reset Period pursuant to Section 2 hereof by reference to the index level of such Successor Index at the Close of Trading on the NYSE, AMEX, Nasdaq or the relevant exchange or market for the Successor Index on the date that any Capped Quarterly Return is to be determined. Upon any selection by the Calculation Agent of a Successor Index, the Company shall promptly give notice to the holders of the Securities. If Nasdaq discontinues publication of the Index prior to, and such discontinuance is continuing on, the date that any Capped Quarterly Return is to be determined and the Calculation Agent determines that no Successor Index is available at such time, then, on such date, the Calculation Agent shall determine the Capped Quarterly Return to be used in computing the Alternative Redemption Amount. The ending index level to be used in computing the Capped Quarterly Return shall be computed by the Calculation Agent in accordance with the formula for and method of calculating the Index last in effect prior to such discontinuance, using the Closing Level (or, if trading in the relevant securities has been materially suspended or materially limited, its good faith estimate of the Closing Level that would have prevailed but for such suspension or limitation) at the close of the principal trading session on such date of each 8 security most recently comprising the Index on the primary organized U.S. exchange or trading system. Alteration of Method of Calculation. If at any time the method of calculating the Index or a Successor Index, or the ending index level to be used in computing the Capped Quarterly Return, is changed in a material respect, or if the Index or a Successor Index is in any other way modified so that such Index does not, in the opinion of the Calculation Agent, fairly represent the value of the Index or such Successor Index had such changes or modifications not been made, then, from and after such time, the Calculation Agent will, at the Close of Trading in New York City on the date that the ending index level to be used in computing the Capped Quarterly Return is to be determined, make such calculations and adjustments as, in the good faith judgment of the Calculation Agent, may be necessary in order to arrive at a level of a stock index comparable to the Index or such Successor Index, as the case may be, as if such changes or modifications had not been made, and calculate the Capped Quarterly Returns, the Equity Return and the Alternative Redemption Amount with reference to the Index or such Successor Index, as adjusted. Accordingly, if the method of calculating the Index or a Successor Index is modified so that the level of such index is a fraction of what it would have been if it had not been modified (e.g., due to a split in the index), then the Calculation Agent shall adjust such index in order to arrive at a level of the Index or such Successor Index as if it had not been modified (e.g., as if such split had not occurred).
