Summary Description

This note allows an investor to hold a long position in the U.S. dollar (USD) relative to the Euro (EUR). If, as of the Valuation Date, the Currency Return is greater than zero (that is, if the USD has in aggregate appreciated relative to the EUR 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 [95%] (the Participation Rate) and the Currency Return. If the Currency Return on the Valuation Date is less than or equal to zero (that is, if the USD has in aggregate depreciated or not appreciated relative to the EUR 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.

1 Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. is rated A1 by Moody’s, A+ by Standard & Poor’s and AA- by Fitch. A credit rating reflects the creditworthiness of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. and is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities, and it may be subject to revision or withdrawal at any time by the assigning rating organization. Each rating should be evaluated independently of any other rating.

Reference Exchange Rates	The spot exchange rate for the Euro quoted against the U.S. dollar, expressed as the number of USD per unit of EUR.
Participation Rate	[95%]
Redemption Amount	A single U.S. dollar payment on the Maturity Date equal to the principal amount of each note plus the Additional Amount, if any
Additional Amount	A single U.S. dollar amount equal to the principal amount of each note multiplied by:
	Participation Rate x Currency Return			If the Currency Return is greater than zero
	0.00%			If the Currency Return is less than or equal to zero
Currency Return	Initial Reference Currency Rate – Settlement Rate
	Settlement Rate
Settlement Rate	The Reference Exchange Rate on the Valuation Date, determined by the Calculation Agent in accordance with the Settlement Rate Option (subject to the occurrence of a Disruption Event).
Settlement Rate Option and Valuation Business Day:	For the EUR as set forth below:
	Reference Currency		Screen Reference*		Valuation Business Day
	EUR		Reuters page EURUSDFIXM=WM (as substitute for 1FED)		London

	For further information concerning the Settlement Rate Option and Valuation Business Day, see “Description of the Notes—Currency-Indexed Notes” in, and Appendix A to, the Series I MTN prospectus supplement.
Business Day	New York
Business Day Convention	Following
Disruption Events	If a Disruption Event is in effect on the scheduled Valuation Date, the Calculation Agent will calculate the Currency Return using the Settlement Rate on the immediately succeeding scheduled Valuation Business Day on which no Disruption Event occurs or is continuing; provided however that if a Disruption Event has occurred or is continuing 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; and (b) the Calculation Agent will determine the Settlement Rate 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, as determined in good faith by the Calculation Agent:
	(A)	the occurrence and/or existence of an event on any day that has the effect of preventing or making impossible the conversion of the EUR into USD through customary legal channels;
	(B)	the occurrence of any event causing the Reference Exchange Rate to be split into dual or multiple currency exchange rates; or

	(C)	the Settlement Rate being unavailable, or the occurrence of an event that generally makes it impossible to obtain the Settlement Rate on the Valuation Date.
	For purposes of the above, “scheduled Valuation Business Day” means a day that is or, in the judgment of the Calculation Agent, should have been, a Valuation Business Day.

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 chart shows the spot exchange rate for the EUR at the end of each week in the period from the week ending April 17, 2005, through the week ending April 20, 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 EUR per USD to show the appreciation or depreciation, as the case may be, of the USD relative to the EUR, and are the inverse of the spot exchange rates used to calculate the Currency Return, which are expressed as the amount of USD per EUR. This historical data is not necessarily indicative of the future performance of the EUR, the Currency Return or what the value of the notes may be. Fluctuations in exchange rates make it difficult to predict whether the Currency Return will be greater than, less than or equal to zero and, consequently, the Additional Amount payable at maturity. Historical exchange rate fluctuations may be greater or lesser than those experienced by the holders of the notes.

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 for the Additional Amounts payable if the Currency Return is greater or less than zero, based on hypothetical values for the Participation Rate (95%) and the Initial Reference Currency Rate (each of which will be determined on the Trade Date), as well hypothetical values for the Settlement Rates (which will be determined on the Valuation Date), and the resulting Currency Return.

The Initial Reference Currency Rate and Settlement Rate values for the EUR have been chosen arbitrarily for the purpose of these examples, are not associated with Lehman Brothers Research forecasts for the EUR/USD exchange rate and should not be taken as indicative of the future performance of the EUR/USD exchange rate.

Example 1: The USD appreciates relative to the EUR, resulting in a Currency Return of 0.0870 (8.70%). Because the Currency Return is greater than zero, the Additional Amount is equal to 8.265%, and the Redemption Amount is equal to 108.265%, times the principal amount of the notes.

Because the Currency Return is 0.0870, the Redemption Amount payable at maturity is equal to $82.65 per $1,000 note (reflecting an Additional Amount of $82.65 per note), calculated as follows:

Redemption Amount = $1,000 + ($1,000* 95%* 0.0870) = $1,082.65

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

	Initial Reference
	Currency Rate	Settlement Rate
Reference Currency	(on Trade Date)	(on Valuation Date)	Currency Return
EUR	1.5925	1.4651	0.0870

Example 2: The USD depreciates relative to the EUR, resulting in a Currency Return of –0.0322 (–3.22%). Because the Currency Return is less than zero, the Additional Amount is equal to 0%, and the Redemption Amount is equal to 100%, times the principal amount of the notes.

Because the Currency Return is –0.0322, 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 Currency Return in the above example was calculated:

	Initial Reference
	Currency Rate	Settlement Rate
Reference Currency	(on Trade Date)	(on Valuation Date)	Currency Return
EUR	1.5925	1.6454	–0.0322
