("Micron"), subject to adjustment as a result of certain dilution events, for the 10 Trading Days immediately prior to Maturity and to pay interest (computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months) from July __, 1994, or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, quarterly on each January , April, July __ and October __ in each year, commencing October __, 1994 (each an "Interest Payment Date"), at the rate per annum of % of the Issue Price until the principal hereof is paid or duly provided for. The interest so payable on each Interest Payment Date will, subject to certain exceptions provided in the Indenture referred to on the reverse hereof, be paid to the Person in whose name this Security is registered on the close of business on the last day of the calendar month preceding such Interest Payment Date. Interest may at the option of Holdings, be paid by check mailed to the Person entitled thereto at such persons address as it appears on the Security Register. REFERENCE IS HEREBY MADE TO THE FURTHER PROVISIONS OF THIS SECURITY SET FORTH ON THE REVERSE HEREOF, WHICH FURTHER PROVISIONS SHALL FOR ALL PURPOSES HAVE THE SAME EFFECT AS IF SET FORTH AT THIS PLACE. This Security shall not be valid or become obligatory for any purpose until the certificate of authentication hereon shall have been signed by the Trustee under the Indenture referred to on the reverse hereof. 2 2 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. has caused this instrument to be signed by its Chairman of the Board, its President, its Vice Chairman, its Chief Financial Officer, one of its Vice Presidents or its Treasurer, by manual or facsimile signature under its corporate seal, attested by its Secretary or one of its Assistant Secretaries by manual or facsimile signature. LEHMAN BROTHERS HOLDINGS INC. Dated: By: ------------------------ Chief Executive Officer and President [SEAL] Attest: ------------------------ Assistant Secretary TRUSTEE'S CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICATION This is one of the Securities of the series designated herein referred to in the within-mentioned Indenture. CITIBANK, N.A. as Trustee By: ------------------------- Authorized Signatory 3 3 [Form of Reverse of Security] This Security is one of a duly authorized series of Securities of Holdings designated as _____% Micron Yield Enhanced Equity Linked Debt Securities Due 1997 (herein called the "Securities"). This series of Securities is one of an indefinite number of series of debt securities of Holdings, 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 Holdings 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 Holdings, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities. The Securities will mature on July __, 1997 (the "Stated Maturity"), subject to extension in the case of certain Non-Trading Days, but in any event not later than July __, 1997. At Maturity, the Holder of this Security will be entitled to receive the principal amount, which will equal the lesser of (a) % of the Issue Price or (b) 50% of the average Closing Price per share of the Micron Common Stock, subject to adjustment as a result of certain dilution events for the 10 Trading Days immediately prior to Maturity. In the event that any of the 10 Business Days immediately prior to July __, 1997 is not a Trading Day (a "Non- Trading Day"), this Security will not mature on July __, 1997, but the Maturity will be suspended one Trading Day for each Non- Trading Day and the average Closing Price of Micron Common Stock shall be based on the 10 most recent Trading Days prior to maturity; provided, however, that this Security will mature in any event not later than July __, 1997. The closing price of Micron Common Stock used to calculate the principal amount payable at Maturity of the Securities shall be subject to adjustment as described below to the extent that any of the events requiring such adjustment occur during the period commencing on July __, 1994 and ending at the Maturity of the Securities: (i) Micron Common Stock Dividends, Extraordinary Cash Dividends and Other Distributions. If a dividend or other distribution is declared (a) on any class of Micron's capital stock (or on the capital stock of any Micron Survivor, as defined in (iv) below) payable in shares of Micron Common Stock (or the common stock of any Micron Survivor) or (b) on Micron Common Stock payable in cash in an amount greater than 10% of the Closing Price of Micron Common Stock on the date fixed for the determination of the shareholders of Micron entitled to receive such cash 4 4 dividend (an "Extraordinary Cash Dividend"), then the Closing Price of Micron Common Stock (or the common stock of any Micron Survivor) at the close of business on each Trading Day following the date (the "Micron Record Date") fixed for the determination of the shareholders of Micron (or any Micron Survivor) entitled to receive such distribution shall (for purposes of calculating the principal amount of the Securities payable at Maturity) be increased by multiplying such Closing Price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the sum of (x) the number of shares of Micron Common Stock (or the common stock of any Micron Survivor) outstanding on the Micron Record Date (y) plus the number of shares constituting such distribution or, in the case of an Extraordinary Cash Dividend, the number of shares of Micron Common Stock that could be purchased with the amount of such Extraordinary Cash Dividend at the Closing Price of Micron Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately subsequent to such Micron Record Date, and the denominator shall be the number of shares of Micron Common stock (or the common stock of any Micron Survivor) outstanding on the Micron Record Date. (ii) Subdivisions and Combinations of Micron Common Stock. In the event that the outstanding shares of Micron Common Stock (or the common stock of any Micron Survivor) are subdivided into a greater number of shares, the Closing Price of Micron Common Stock (or the common stock of any Micron Survivor) used to calculate the principal amount of the Securities payable at Maturity on each Trading Day following the date on which such subdivision becomes effective will be proportionately increased, and, conversely, in the event that the outstanding shares of Micron Common stock (or the common stock of any Micron Survivor) are combined into a smaller number of shares, such Closing Price will be proportionately reduced. (iii) Reclassifications of Micron Common Stock. In the event that Micron Common Stock (or the common stock of any Micron Survivor) is changed into the same or a different number of shares of any class or classes of stock, whether by capital reorganization, reclassification or otherwise (except to the extent otherwise provided in (i) or (ii) above or pursuant to a consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, lease or conveyance, liquidation, dissolution or winding up, as described in (iv) below), the principal amount of the Securities payable at Maturity shall be calculated by using the Closing Prices of the shares of stock into which a share of Micron Common Stock (or the common stock of any Micron Survivor) was changed on each Trading Day following the effectiveness of such change. (iv) Dissolution of Micron; Mergers, Consolidations or Sales of Assets in which Micron is not the Surviving Entity; Spin-Offs. In the event of any (A) consolidation or merger 5 5 of Micron, or any surviving entity or subsequent surviving entity of Micron (a "Micron Survivor") with or into another entity (other than a consolidation or merger in which Micron is the surviving entity), (B) sale, transfer, lease or conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of Micron or any Micron Survivor, (C) liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Micron or any Micron Survivor or (D) any declaration of a distribution on Micron Common Stock of the common stock of any subsidiary of Micron (an "Micron Spin-Off") (any of the events described in (A), (B), (C) or (D), a "Reorganization Event"), the principal amount of a Security payable at Maturity will be the value of the cash and other property (including securities) received by a holder of a share of Micron Common stock in any such Reorganization Event plus, in the case of a Micron Spin-Off, the value of a share of Micron Common Stock, or, to the extent that such holder obtains securities in any Reorganization Event, the value of the cash and other property received by the holder of such securities in any subsequent Reorganization Event. For purposes of determining the principal amount payable at the Maturity of the Securities, the value of (A) any cash and other property (other than listed securities) received in any such Reorganization Event will be an amount equal to the value of such cash and other property at the effective time of such Reorganization Event and (B) any property consisting of listed securities received in any such Reorganization Event will be an amount equal to the average Closing Prices of such listed securities for the 10 Trading Days immediately prior to Maturity. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, THE PRINCIPAL AMOUNT OF EACH YEELD PAYABLE AT MATURITY WILL NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, EXCEED % OF THE ISSUE PRICE. The Trustee shall fully rely on the determination by the Calculation Agent of the principal amount due at Maturity and shall have no duty to make any such determination. This Security is not redeemable by Holdings or repayable at the option of the Holder prior to Stated Maturity and is not subject to any sinking fund. If an Event of Default (as defined in the Indenture) with respect to the Securities shall occur and be continuing, the principal of all 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: (i) the principal amount hereof (determined as though the securities matured on the date of acceleration) plus (ii) the amount of accrued and unpaid interest calculated to the date of the payment of such principal amount. 6 6 The Indenture contains provisions permitting Holdings and the Trustee, with the consent of the holders of not less than 66-2/3% in aggregate principal amount of each series of Holdings' debt securities at the time Outstanding to be affected, 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 debt securities of all such series; provided, however, that no such supplemental indenture shall, among other things, (i) extend the fixed maturity of any debt 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 thereon payable in any coin or currency other than that hereinabove provided, without the consent of the holder of each debt security so affected, or (ii) change the place of payment on any debt security, or impair the right to institute suit for payment on any debt security, or reduce the aforesaid percentage of debt securities, the holders of which are required to consent to any such supplemental indenture, without the consent of the holders of each debt security so affected. It is also provided in the Indenture that, prior to any declaration accelerating the maturity of any series of debt securities, the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the debt securities of such series Outstanding may on behalf of the holders of all the debt 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, on or the principal of, or premium if any, on any of the debt securities of such series, or in the payment of any sinking fund installment or analogous obligation with respect to debt securities of such series. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder hereof 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 Holdings, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal amount plus the interest with respect to this Security and any interest on the overdue amount thereof at the places, at the respective times, at the rate, and in the coin or currency herein prescribed. The Securities are issuable in denominations of $_____ and any integral multiple of $_____. At the option of the holders thereof, either at the office or agency to the designated and maintained by Holdings for such purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, pursuant to the provisions of the Indenture or at any of such other offices or agencies as may be designated and maintained by Holdings for such purpose 7 7 pursuant to the provisions of the Indenture and in the manner and subject to the limitations provided in the Indenture, but without the payment of any service charge, except for any tax or other government charges imposed in connection therewith, Securities may be exchanged for new Securities representing in the aggregate the same number of YEELDS. Holdings, the Trustee, and any agent of Holdings or of the Trustee may deem and treat the registered 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 Holdings nor the Trustee nor any agent of Holdings 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 Holdings 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 Holdings or of any successor corporation, either directly or through Holdings 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 set forth therein, 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 Holdings and the Security Registrar requiring such written instrument of transfer duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Securities, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

If a dividend or other distribution is declared (a) on any class of Micron's capital stock (or on the capital stock of any Micron Survivor, as defined in (iv) below) payable in shares of Micron Common Stock (or the common stock of any Micron Survivor) or (b) on Micron Common Stock payable in cash in an amount greater than 10% of the Closing Price of Micron Common Stock on the date fixed for the determination of the shareholders of Micron entitled to receive such cash 14 5 dividend (an "Extraordinary Cash Dividend"), then the Closing Price of Micron Common Stock (or the common stock of any Micron Survivor) at the close of business on each Trading Day following the date (the "Micron Record Date") fixed for the determination of the shareholders of Micron (or any Micron Survivor) entitled to receive such distribution shall (for purposes of calculating the principal amount of the Securities payable at Maturity) be increased by multiplying such Closing Price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the sum of (x) the number of shares of Micron Common Stock (or the common stock of any Micron Survivor) outstanding on the Micron Record Date (y) plus the number of shares constituting such distribution or, in the case of an Extraordinary Cash Dividend, the number of shares of Micron Common Stock that could be purchased with the amount of such Extraordinary Cash Dividend at the Closing Price of Micron Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately subsequent to such Micron Record Date, and the denominator shall be the number of shares of Micron Common stock (or the common stock of any Micron Survivor) outstanding on the Micron Record Date. (ii) Subdivisions and Combinations of Micron Common Stock. In the event that the outstanding shares of Micron Common Stock (or the common stock of any Micron Survivor) are subdivided into a greater number of shares, the Closing Price of Micron Common Stock (or the common stock of any Micron Survivor) used to calculate the principal amount of the Securities payable at Maturity on each Trading Day following the date on which such subdivision becomes effective will be proportionately increased, and, conversely, in the event that the outstanding shares of Micron Common stock (or the common stock of any Micron Survivor) are combined into a smaller number of shares, such Closing Price will be proportionately reduced. (iii) Reclassifications of Micron Common Stock. In the event that Micron Common Stock (or the common stock of any Micron Survivor) is changed into the same or a different number of shares of any class or classes of stock, whether by capital reorganization, reclassification or otherwise (except to the extent otherwise provided in (i) or (ii) above or pursuant to a consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, lease or conveyance, liquidation, dissolution or winding up, as described in (iv) below), the principal amount of the Securities payable at Maturity shall be calculated by using the Closing Prices of the shares of stock into which a share of Micron Common Stock (or the common stock of any Micron Survivor) was changed on each Trading Day following the effectiveness of such change. (iv) Dissolution of Micron; Mergers, Consolidations or Sales of Assets in which Micron is not the Surviving Entity; Spin-Offs. In the event of any (A) consolidation or merger 15 6 of Micron, or any surviving entity or subsequent surviving entity of Micron (a "Micron Survivor") with or into another entity (other than a consolidation or merger in which Micron is the surviving entity), (B) sale, transfer, lease or conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of Micron or any Micron Survivor, (C) liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Micron or any Micron Survivor or (D) any declaration of a distribution on Micron Common Stock of the common stock of any subsidiary of Micron (an "Micron Spin-Off") (any of the events described in (A), (B), (C) or (D), a "Reorganization Event"), the principal amount of a Security payable at Maturity will be the value of the cash and other property (including securities) received by a holder of a share of Micron Common stock in any such Reorganization Event plus, in the case of a Micron Spin-Off, the value of a share of Micron Common Stock, or, to the extent that such holder obtains securities in any Reorganization Event, the value of the cash and other property received by the holder of such securities in any subsequent Reorganization Event. For purposes of determining the principal amount payable at the Maturity of the Securities, the value of (A) any cash and other property (other than listed securities) received in any such Reorganization Event will be an amount equal to the value of such cash and other property at the effective time of such Reorganization Event and (B) any property consisting of listed securities received in any such Reorganization Event will be an amount equal to the average Closing Prices of such listed securities for the 10 Trading Days immediately prior to Maturity. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, THE PRINCIPAL AMOUNT OF EACH YEELD PAYABLE AT MATURITY WILL NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, EXCEED % OF THE ISSUE PRICE. The Trustee shall fully rely on the determination by the Calculation Agent of the principal amount due at Maturity and shall have no duty to make any such determination. This Security is not redeemable by Holdings or repayable at the option of the Holder prior to Stated Maturity and is not subject to any sinking fund. If an Event of Default (as defined in the Indenture) with respect to the Securities shall occur and be continuing, the principal of all 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: (i) the principal amount hereof (determined as though the securities matured on the date of acceleration) plus (ii) the amount of accrued and unpaid interest calculated to the date of the payment of such principal amount. 16 7 The Indenture contains provisions permitting Holdings and the Trustee, with the consent of the holders of not less than 66-2/3% in aggregate principal amount of each series of Holdings' debt securities at the time Outstanding to be affected, 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 debt securities of all such series; provided, however, that no such supplemental indenture shall, among other things, (i) extend the fixed maturity of any debt 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 thereon payable in any coin or currency other than that hereinabove provided, without the consent of the holder of each debt security so affected, or (ii) change the place of payment on any debt security, or impair the right to institute suit for payment on any debt security, or reduce the aforesaid percentage of debt securities, the holders of which are required to consent to any such supplemental indenture, without the consent of the holders of each debt security so affected. It is also provided in the Indenture that, prior to any declaration accelerating the maturity of any series of debt securities, the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the debt securities of such series Outstanding may on behalf of the holders of all the debt 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, on or the principal of, or premium if any, on any of the debt securities of such series, or in the payment of any sinking fund installment or analogous obligation with respect to debt securities of such series. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder hereof 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 Holdings, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal amount plus the interest with respect to this Security and any interest on the overdue amount thereof at the places, at the respective times, at the rate, and in the coin or currency herein prescribed. The Securities are issuable in denominations of $_____ and any integral multiple of $_____. At the option of the holders thereof, either at the office or agency to the designated and maintained by Holdings for such purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, pursuant to the provisions of the Indenture or at any of such other offices or agencies as may be designated and maintained by Holdings for such purpose 17 8 pursuant to the provisions of the Indenture and in the manner and subject to the limitations provided in the Indenture, but without the payment of any service charge, except for any tax or other government charges imposed in connection therewith, Securities may be exchanged for new Securities representing in the aggregate the same number of YEELDS. Holdings, the Trustee, and any agent of Holdings or of the Trustee may deem and treat the registered 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 Holdings nor the Trustee nor any agent of Holdings 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 Holdings 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 Holdings or of any successor corporation, either directly or through Holdings 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 set forth therein, 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 Holdings and the Security Registrar requiring such written instrument of transfer duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Securities, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
