Summary Description

This note allows an investor to hold via a single basket a long position in the Indonesian Rupiah (IDR), Indian Rupee (INR), Hong Kong Dollar (HKD), Singapore Dollar (SGD) and Malaysian Ringgit (MYR) (collectively, the Reference Currencies) relative to the U.S. dollar (USD) . If, as of the Valuation Date, the Basket Return is greater than zero (that is, if the Reference Currencies have in aggregate appreciated relative to the USD 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 equal to the principal amount of the notes multiplied by the product of [300-320]% (the Participation) and the Basket Return. If the Basket Return on the Valuation Date is less than or equal to zero (that is, if the Reference Currencies have in aggregate depreciated or not appreciated relative to the USD on the Valuation Date), then the investor will receive at maturity only the principal amount of the notes, with no additional return. The notes do not bear interest and are 100% principal protected if held to maturity.

	·	for each Reference Currency that did suffer a Disruption Event on the scheduled Valuation Date, the Settlement Rate on the immediately succeeding scheduled Valuation Business Day for such Reference Currency on which no Disruption Event occurs or is continuing with respect to such Reference Currency;

	provided however that if a Disruption Event has occurred or is continuing with respect to a Reference Currency on each of the three scheduled Valuation Business Days following the scheduled Valuation Date, then (a) such third scheduled Valuation Business Day shall be deemed the Valuation Date for the affected Reference Currency; and (b) the Calculation Agent will determine the Settlement Rate for the affected Reference Currency on such day in accordance with “Fallback Rate Observation Methodology” (as defined under “Description of the Notes—Currency-Indexed Notes” in the Series I MTN prospectus supplement).

	A “Disruption Event” means any of the following events with respect to a Reference Currency, as determined in good faith by the Calculation Agent:

Risk Factors

An investment in the notes entails certain risks not associated with an investment in conventional floating rate or fixed rate medium-term notes. See “Risk Factors” generally, and “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to Currency-Indexed Notes” specifically, in the Series I MTN prospectus supplement.

United States Federal Income Tax Treatment

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 Series I MTN prospectus supplement.

Historical Exchange Rates

The following charts show the spot exchange rates for each Reference Currency at the end of each week in the period from the week ending April 10, 2005 through the week ending April 13, 2008 using historical data obtained from Reuters; neither Lehman Brothers Inc. nor Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. makes any representation or warranty as to the accuracy or completeness of this data. 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 Return 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 Return 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, or what that Additional Amount, if any, may be. Historical exchange rate fluctuations may be greater or lesser than those experienced by the holders of the notes.

Hypothetical Historical Basket Return

The following charts show the hypothetical Basket Return at the end of each week in the period from the week ending April 10, 2005 through the week ending April 13, 2008, based on the hypothetical composite performance of the Reference Currencies using data obtained from Reuters; neither Lehman Brothers Inc. nor Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. makes any representation or warranty as to the accuracy or completeness of this data. The Basket Return was indexed to a level of 0.0 on April 13, 2008 based upon the Reference Exchange Rates determined on that day. The composite value of the Reference Currencies on any prior day was obtained by using the calculation of the Basket Return described above. Spot exchange rates used in this determination are expressed as the number of units of Reference Currency per U.S. dollar.

Under the terms of the notes and for purposes of calculating the Redemption Amount, the Basket Return will be indexed to a level of 0.0 on the Trade Date, based on the Initial Reference Currency Rates.

Hypothetical Redemption Amount Payment Examples

The following payment examples for this note show scenarios for the Redemption Amount payable at maturity of the notes, including scenarios under which an Additional Amount will or will not be payable, based on a hypothetical Participation of 310% and hypothetical Initial Reference Currency Rates for the Reference Currencies (each of which will be determined on the Trade Date), as well as hypothetical values for the Settlement Rates (which will be determined on the Valuation Date) and the resulting Basket Return.

The Initial Reference Currency Rate values and the Settlement Rate values for the Reference Currencies have been chosen arbitrarily for the purpose of these examples, 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.

Example 1: HKD, IDR, INR, MYR and SGD each appreciate relative to their Initial Reference Currency Rates, resulting in a Basket Return of 0.0820 (8.20%). The Additional Amount is therefore equal to 25.42%, and the Redemption Amount is equal to 125.42%, times the principal amount of the notes.

Because the Basket Return is 0.0820, the Redemption Amount payable at maturity is equal to $1,254.20 per $1,000 note (reflecting an Additional Amount of $254.20 per note), calculated as follows:

Redemption Amount = $1,000 + ($1,000 * 310% * 0.0820) = $1,254.20

The table below illustrates how the Basket Return in the above example was calculated:

Reference Currency	Initial Reference Currency Rate (on Trade Date)	Weighting	Settlement Rate (on Valuation Date)	Weighted Currency Return
HKD	7.7821	20%	7.2374	0.0140
IDR	9185	20%	8450	0.0160
INR	39.99	20%	35.59	0.0220
MYR	3.1950	20%	3.0033	0.0120
SGD	1.3799	20%	1.2557	0.0180

Basket Return = Sum of Weighted Currency Returns =				0.0820

Example 2: HKD, IDR, INR, MYR and SGD each depreciate relative to their Initial Reference Currency Rates, resulting in a Basket Return of –0.0562 (–5.62%), which is less than zero. The Additional Amount is therefore 0%, and the Redemption Amount is equal to the product of 100%, times the principal amount of the notes.

Because the Basket Return is –0.0562, which is less than zero, the Redemption Amount payable at maturity is equal to $1,000 per $1,000 note (reflecting an Additional Amount of $0 per note), the repayment of principal invested, with no additional return.

The table below illustrates how the Basket Return in the above example was calculated:

Reference Currency	Initial Reference Currency Rate (on Trade Date)	Weighting	Settlement Rate (on Valuation Date)	Weighted Currency Return
HKD	7.7821	20%	8.1089	–0.0084
IDR	9185	20%	9378	–0.0042
INR	39.99	20%	42.23	–0.0112
MYR	3.1950	20%	3.4474	–0.0158
SGD	1.3799	20%	1.4944	–0.0166

Basket Return = Sum of Weighted Currency Returns =				–0.0562

Example 3: HKD and IDR each appreciate relative to their Initial Reference Currency Rates while INR, MYR and SGD each depreciate relative to their Initial Reference Currency Rates, resulting in a Basket Return of 0.0150 (1.50%). The Additional Amount is therefore equal to 4.65%, and the Redemption Amount is equal to 104.65%, times the principal amount of the notes.

Because the Basket Return is 0.0150, the Redemption Amount payable at maturity is equal to $1,046.50 per $1,000 note (reflecting an Additional Amount of $46.50 per note), calculated as follows:

Redemption Amount = $1,000 + ($1,000 * 310% * 0.0150) = $1,046.50.

The table below illustrates how the Basket Return in the above example was calculated

Reference Currency	Initial Reference Currency Rate (on Trade Date)	Weighting	Settlement Rate (on Valuation Date)	Weighted Currency Return
HKD	7.7821	20%	6.9883	0.0204
IDR	9185	20%	8413	0.0168
INR	39.99	20%	40.95	–0.0048
MYR	3.1950	20%	3.3132	–0.0074
SGD	1.3799	20%	1.4489	–0.0100

Basket Return = Sum of Weighted Currency Returns =				0.0150

Example 4: HKD, INR and SGD each depreciate relative to their Initial Reference Currency Rates while IDR and MYR each appreciate relative to their Initial Reference Currency Rates, resulting in a Basket Return of –0.0272 (–2.72%). The Additional Amount is therefore equal to 0%, and the Redemption Amount is equal to 100%, times the principal amount of the notes.

Because the Basket Return is –0.0272, which is less than zero, the Redemption Amount payable at maturity is equal to $1,000 per $1,000 note (reflecting an Additional Amount of $0 per note), the repayment of principal invested, with no additional return.

The table below illustrates how the Basket Return in the above example was calculated:

Reference Currency	Initial Reference Currency Rate (on Trade Date)	Weighting	Settlement Rate (on Valuation Date)	Weighted Currency Return
HKD	7.7821	20%	8.8949	–0.0286
IDR	9185	20%	8891	0.0064
INR	39.99	20%	46.11	–0.0306
MYR	3.1950	20%	2.6902	0.0316
SGD	1.3799	20%	1.4213	–0.0060

Basket Return = Sum of Weighted Currency Returns =				–0.0272
