Summary Description

This note allows an investor to hold a long position in the Chinese Renminbi (CNY) and Indian Rupee (INR) and a short position in the U.S. Dollar (USD) via a single basket consisting of these long and short currencies (with the CNY and INR having a positive weighting in the basket and the USD having a negative weighting in the basket, which weightings are set forth under “Initial Reference Currency Amount” below). If the Basket Value is greater than zero on the Valuation Date, the investor will receive a single payment at maturity equal to the principal amount of the notes plus an additional return which is dependent upon the Leverage (165%) multiplied by the performance of the basket, which is, in turn, linked to the combined performance of the CNY and INR vs. the USD. If the Basket Value on the Valuation Date is less than or equal to zero, then the investor will receive at maturity 104.0% of the principal amount of the notes. As a result, in certain circumstances an investor’s return on the notes may be greater if the Basket Value is less than or equal to zero on the Valuation Date than if the Basket Value is greater than zero on the Valuation Date.

Following

 

 

 

 

Disruption Event

 

Upon the occurrence of a Disruption Event with respect to any Reference Currency on any day during the term of the notes, the Calculation Agent shall determine the Additional Amount payable on the Maturity Date in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner.

 

 

 

 

 

A “Disruption Event” means any of the following events (other than a Price Source Unavailability Event), as determined in good faith by the Calculation Agent:

 

 

 

 

 

(A)

 for any Reference Currency the occurrence and/or existence of an event on any day that has the effect of preventing or making impossible the delivery of USD from accounts inside the country for which a Reference Currency is the lawful currency (such jurisdiction with respect to such Reference Currency, the “Reference Currency Jurisdiction”) to accounts outside that Reference Currency Jurisdiction;

 

 

 

 

 

 

(B)

the occurrence of any event causing the Reference Exchange Rate for any Reference Currency to be split into dual or multiple currency exchange rates; or

 

2




 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(C)

the occurrence and/or existence of any event (other than those set forth in (A) or (B) above or those constituting a Price Source Unavailability Event) with respect to any Reference Currency that prevents or makes impossible (x) the Calculation Agent’s ability to calculate the Additional Amount, (y) the Issuer’s fulfilment of its obligations under the notes, or (z) the ability of the Issuer or any of its affiliates through which it hedges its position under the notes to hedge such position or to unwind all or a material portion of such hedge.

 

 

 

 

Price Source Unavailability Event

 

Upon the occurrence of a Price Source Unavailability Event with respect to a Reference Currency, the Settlement Rate for the affected Reference Currency will be determined in accordance with the Fallback Rate Observation Methodology (as defined under “Description of the Notes—Currency-Indexed Notes” in the prospectus supplement dated May 30, 2006 for the Issuer’s Medium Term Notes, Series I).

 

 

 

 

 

A “Price Source Unavailability Event” means, as determined in good faith by the Calculation Agent, the Settlement Rate being unavailable for a Reference Currency, or the occurrence of an event (other than an event constituting a Disruption Event) that generally makes it impossible to obtain the Settlement Rate for a Reference Currency, on the Valuation Date.

Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. intends to treat the notes as contingent payment debt instruments, as described under “Supplemental United States Federal Income Tax Consequences—Contingent Payment Debt Instruments” in the prospectus supplement dated May 30, 2006 for the Issuer’s Medium Term Notes, Series I.

 

Historical Exchange Rates

 

The following charts show the weekly spot exchange rates for each Reference Currency in the period from the week ending June 29, 2003 through the week ending June 25, 2006, using historical data obtained from Reuters. The spot exchange rates are expressed as the amount of U.S. dollars per Reference Currency to show the appreciation or depreciation, as the case may be, of the Reference Currency against the U.S. dollar. The spot exchange rates used to calculate the Basket Value are expressed as the amount of Reference Currency per U.S. dollar, which are the inverse of the spot exchange rates presented in the following charts. The historical data on each Reference Currency is not necessarily indicative of the future performance of the Reference Currencies, the Basket Value or what the value of the notes may be. Fluctuations in exchange rates make it difficult to predict whether the Additional Amount will be payable at maturity. Historical exchange rate fluctuations may be greater or lesser than those experienced by the holders of the notes.

The following chart shows the hypothetical Basket Value based on the hypothetical composite performance of the Reference Currencies using weekly data for the Reference Currencies obtained from Reuters. The Basket Value was indexed to a level of 0.0 on the Trade Date based upon the Initial Reference Currency Rates determined on the Trade Date. The composite value of the Reference Currencies on any prior day was obtained by using the calculation of the Basket Value described above. Spot exchange rates used in this determination are expressed as the number of units of Reference Currency per U.S. dollar.

Hypothetical Redemption Amount Payment Examples

The following payment examples for this note shows scenarios for various Redemption Amounts payable on the notes, based on values for the Leverage (165%) and the Initial Reference Currency Rates (which were determined on the Trade Date) and hypothetical values for the Settlement Rates (which are determined on the Valuation Date) and the resulting Basket Value. The Settlement Rate values have been chosen arbitrarily for the purpose of this example, are not associated with Lehman Brothers Research forecasts for any Reference Currency/USD exchange rates and should not be taken as indicative of the future performance of any Reference Currency/USD exchange rate. The following examples also reflect an Additional Amount of 4.0% payable if the Basket Value on the Valuation Date is less than or equal to zero.

5




 

Example 1: CNY and INR each appreciate relative to their Initial Reference Currency Rates, resulting in a Basket Value greater than zero.

Example 2: CNY and INR each depreciate relative to their Initial Reference Currency Rates, resulting in a Basket Value less than zero.

6




Example 3:  CNY appreciates relative to its Initial Reference Currency Rates and INR depreciates relative to its Initial Reference Currency Rates, resulting in a Basket Value greater than zero.

Example 4:  CNY appreciates relative to its Initial Reference Currency Rates and INR depreciates relative to its Initial Reference Currency Rates, resulting in a Basket Value less than zero.
