                     EXAMPLES OF AMOUNT PAYABLE AT MATURITY

Here are three examples of the amount that may be payable on the stated maturity
date. In each of these examples it is assumed that the initial value is
$28.1600, and the threshold value is $19.7120.

EXAMPLE 1. ASSUMING THE PRICE OF THE INDEX STOCK DID NOT FALL BELOW THE
THRESHOLD VALUE AT ANY TIME DURING THE MEASUREMENT PERIOD AND THE SETTLEMENT
VALUE IS $26.00:

As a result, on the stated maturity date, you would receive $1,000, plus accrued
but unpaid coupon payments, per $1,000 note.

In the case of stock settlement in this example, on the stated maturity date you
would receive, if you held a $1,000 note, 38 units of Fording Canadian Coal
Trust plus $12.00 in cash, plus accrued but unpaid coupon payments. To the
extent that you hold more than $1,000 aggregate principal amount of notes, the
calculations of cash payments in lieu of fractional shares would be made on an
aggregate, rather than on a per $1,000 note, basis. For example, if you held
$100,000 aggregate principal amount of notes, on the stated maturity date you
would receive, in total, 3,846 units of Fording Canadian Coal Trust plus $4.00
in cash, plus accrued but unpaid coupon payments.

EXAMPLE 2. ASSUMING THE PRICE OF THE INDEX STOCK FELL BELOW THE THRESHOLD VALUE
DURING THE MEASUREMENT PERIOD AND THE SETTLEMENT VALUE IS $23.00:

Alternative redemption amount per $1,000 note =


                                   $23.00
                         $1,000 x  ------  =  $816.76
                                  $28.1600



As a result, on the stated maturity date, you would receive $816.76, plus
accrued but unpaid coupon payments, per $1,000 note because $816.76 is less than
$1,000.

In the case of stock settlement in this example, on the stated maturity date you
would receive, if you held a $1,000 note, 35 units of Fording Canadian Coal
Trust plus $11.76 in cash, plus accrued but unpaid coupon payments. To the
extent that you hold more than $1,000 aggregate principal amount of notes, the
calculations of cash payments in lieu of fractional shares would be made on an
aggregate, rather than on a per $1,000 note, basis. For example, if you held
$100,000 aggregate principal amount of notes, on the stated maturity date you
would receive, in total, 3,551 units of Fording Canadian Coal Trust plus $3.00
in cash, plus accrued but unpaid coupon payments.

EXAMPLE 3. ASSUMING THE PRICE OF THE INDEX STOCK FELL BELOW THE THRESHOLD VALUE
DURING THE MEASUREMENT PERIOD AND THE SETTLEMENT VALUE IS $34.00:

Alternative redemption amount per $1,000 note =

                                   $34.00
                         $1,000 x  ------  =  $1,207.38
                                  $28.1600


As a result, on the stated maturity date, you would receive $1,000, plus accrued
but unpaid coupon payments, per $1,000 note because $1,000 is less than
$1,207.38.

In the case of stock settlement in this example, on the stated maturity date you
would receive, if you held a $1,000 note, 29 units of Fording Canadian Coal
Trust plus $14.00 in cash, plus accrued but unpaid coupon payments. To the
extent that you hold more than $1,000 aggregate principal amount of notes, the
calculations of cash payments in lieu of fractional shares would be made on an
aggregate, rather than on a per $1,000 note, basis. For example, if you held
$100,000 aggregate principal amount of notes, on the stated maturity date you
would receive, in total, 2,941 units of Fording Canadian Coal Trust plus $6.00
in cash, plus accrued but unpaid coupon payments.

To the extent the actual settlement value, initial value or threshold value
differs from the values assumed above, the results indicated above would be
different.

HYPOTHETICAL RETURNS

The tables below illustrate, for a range of hypothetical settlement values on
the valuation date, in each case assuming that (a) the investment is held from
the date on which the notes are first issued until the stated maturity date, (b)
the initial value is $28.1600, and (c) the threshold value is $19.7120:

o  the percentage change from the principal amount to the hypothetical
   alternative redemption amount per $1,000 note;

o  the total coupon payments paid or payable on or before the stated maturity
   date per $1,000 note

o  the hypothetical total amount payable on the stated maturity date per $1,000
   note;

o  the hypothetical total annualized yield on the notes on the stated maturity
   date; and

o  the hypothetical total annualized yield from direct ownership of the index
   stock.

The hypothetical results illustrated in the first table assume that the price of
the index stock does not fall below the threshold value at any time during the
measurement period. Those in the second table assume that the price of the index
stock does fall below the threshold value during the measurement period.

(1) Excludes accrued and unpaid coupon payments payable on the stated maturity
date.

(2) The hypothetical total annualized yield on the notes at stated maturity
represents the coupon rate per year used in determining the present values,
discounted to the original issue date (computed on the basis of a 360-day year
of twelve 30-day months compounded annually), of all payments made or to be made
on the notes, including the amount payable on the stated maturity date and all
coupon payments through the stated maturity date, the sum of these present
values being equal to the original issue price.

The above figures are for purposes of illustration only. The actual amount
received by investors and the resulting total annualized yield will depend
entirely on the actual settlement value determined by the calculation agent. In
particular, the actual settlement value could be lower or higher than those
reflected in the table.

You should compare the features of the notes to other available investments
before deciding to purchase the notes. Due to the uncertainty as to whether the
price of the index stock will fall below the threshold value at any time during
the measurement period or whether the alternative redemption amount on the
stated maturity date will be not less than $1,000 per $1,000 note, the return on
investment with respect to the notes may be higher or lower than the return
available on other securities issued by Lehman Brothers Holdings or by others
and available through Lehman Brothers Inc. You should reach an investment
decision only after carefully considering the suitability of the notes in light
of your particular circumstances.

Brothers Inc. has agreed to purchase, all of the notes at the price indicated on
the cover of the pricing supplement.

liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
or to contribute to payments that Lehman Brothers Inc. may be required to make
relating to these liabilities as described in the MTN prospectus supplement and

purchase, at any time within 13 days of the original issuance of the notes, up
to $        additional aggregate principal amount of notes solely to cover
over-allotments. To the extent that the option is exercised, Lehman Brothers
Inc. will be committed, subject to certain conditions, to purchase the
additional notes. If this option is exercised in full, the total public offering
price, the underwriting discount and proceeds to Lehman Brothers Holdings would
be $       , $        and $         , respectively.

Lehman Brothers Holdings or an affiliate will enter into swap agreements or
related hedge transactions with one of Lehman Brothers Holdings' other
affiliates or unaffiliated counterparties in connection with the sale of the
notes and Lehman Brothers Inc. and/or an affiliate will earn additional income
as a result of payments pursuant to the swap, or related hedge transactions.
