  Additional Terms Specific to the Notes

Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. has filed a registration statement (including a base prospectus) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, for this offering. Before you invest, you should read this term sheet together with the base prospectus, as supplemented by the MTN prospectus supplement relating to our Series I medium-term notes of which the Notes are a part, and the more detailed information contained in product supplement no. 220-I (which supplements the description of the general terms of the Notes) and underlying supplement no. 740 (which describes each of the Basket Indices, as defined herein, including risk factors specific to each). Buyers should rely upon the base prospectus, the MTN prospectus supplement, product supplement no. 220-I, underlying supplement no. 740, this term sheet and any other relevant terms supplement for complete details. This term sheet, together with the documents listed below, contains the terms of the Notes and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous communications concerning the Notes. To the extent that there are any inconsistencies among the documents listed below, this term sheet shall supersede product supplement no. 220-I, which shall, likewise, supersede the base prospectus and the MTN prospectus supplement. You should carefully consider, among other things, the matters set forth in “Risk Factors” in the accompanying product supplement no. 220-I and “Risk Factors” in the accompanying underlying supplement no. 740, as the Notes involve risks not associated with conventional debt securities. We urge you to consult your investment, legal, tax, accounting and other advisors before you invest in the Notes. You may get these documents and other documents Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. has filed for free by searching the SEC online database (EDGAR^®) at www.sec.gov, with “Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc.” as a search term or through the links below, or by calling Lehman Brothers Inc. toll-free at 1-888-603-5847.

References to “Lehman Brothers,” “we,” “our” and “us” refer only to Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. and not to its consolidated subsidiaries. In this document, unless the context otherwise requires, “Notes” refers to the “100% Principal Protection Notes Linked to an International Index Basket” that are offered hereby.

  Selected Purchase Considerations

¨ Uncapped Appreciation Potential: The Notes provide the opportunity to enhance equity returns by multiplying a positive Basket Return by a Participation Rate of at least 120% (the actual Participation Rate will be set on the Trade Date). The Notes are not subject to a predetermined maximum gain and, accordingly, any return at maturity will be determined by the appreciation of the Basket. Because the notes are our senior obligations, payment of any amount at maturity is subject to our ability to pay our obligations as they become due.

¨ Diversification Among the Basket Indices: The return on the Notes is linked to a Basket consisting of the Dow Jones EURO STOXX 50^® Index, the FTSE 100 Index^®, the Nikkei 225^SM Index and the S&P^®/ASX 200 Index. The Dow Jones EURO STOXX 50^® Index consists of 50 component stocks of market sector leaders from within the Dow Jones EURO STOXX Index, which includes stocks selected from the Eurozone. The FTSE 100 Index^® is a market-capitalization weighted index of the 100 largest UK-domiciled companies. The Nikkei 225^SM Index consists of 225 stocks listed on the First Section of the Tokyo Stock Exchange, representing a broad cross-section of Japanese industries. The S&P^®/ASX 200 Index measures the performance of the 200 largest index-eligible stocks listed on the Australian Stock Exchange by float-adjusted market capitalization. For additional information about each Basket Component, see the information set forth under “The Dow Jones EURO STOXX 50^® Index,” “The FTSE 100 Index^®,” “The Nikkei 225^SM Index” and “The S&P^®/ASX 200 Index” in the accompanying underlying supplement no. 740.

¨ Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences: Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. intends to treat, and by purchasing a Note, for all tax purposes, you agree to treat, a Note as debt subject to the contingent payment debt instrument rules. Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. is required to provide the comparable yield to you and, solely for tax purposes, is also required to provide a projected payment schedule that includes the fixed payments on the Notes and estimates of the amount and timing of the contingent payments on the Notes. Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. has determined that the comparable yield will be an annual rate of [    ]%, compounded semi-annually. Based on the comparable yield, the projected payment schedule per $1,000 principal amount Note is $[ ] due at maturity.

Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. agrees and, by purchasing a Note, you agree, for United States federal income tax purposes, to be bound by Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc.’s determination of the comparable yield and projected payment schedule. As a consequence, for United States federal income tax purposes, you must use the comparable yield determined by Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. and the projected payments set forth in the projected payment schedule prepared by Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. in determining your interest accruals (even though you will not receive any periodic payments of interest on the Notes), and the adjustments thereto, in respect of the Notes. See “Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” in product supplement no. 220-I.

  Selected Risk Factors

An investment in the Notes involves significant risks. Investing in the Notes is not equivalent to investing directly in the Basket Indices or any of the stocks included in the Basket Indices. These risks are explained in more detail in the “Risk Factors” section of the accompanying product supplement no. 220-I and in the “Risk Factors” section of the accompanying underlying supplement no. 740. You should reach an investment decision only after you have carefully considered with your advisors the suitability of an investment in the Notes in light of your particular circumstances.

¨ No Principal Protection Unless You Hold the Notes To Maturity: The Notes are not designed to be short-term trading instruments. You will receive at least the minimum payment of 100% of the principal amount of your Notes if you hold your Notes to maturity. If you sell your Notes in the secondary market prior to maturity, you will not receive principal protection. YOU SHOULD BE WILLING TO HOLD YOUR NOTES TO MATURITY.

¨ Market Risk: The return on the Notes at maturity is linked to the performance of the Basket and will depend on whether, and the extent to which, the Basket Return is positive. YOU WILL RECEIVE NO MORE THAN THE FULL PRINCIPAL AMOUNT OF YOUR NOTES AT MATURITY IF THE BASKET RETURN IS ZERO OR NEGATIVE.

¨ The Basket Indices Are Not Equally Weighted: The Basket, in part, consists of four Basket Indices that each have different weightings. One consequence of such unequal weighting is that the same percentage change in a Basket Index with a larger weighting would have a greater effect on the Basket Ending Level than the same percentage change in a Basket Index with a smaller weighting.

¨ The Notes Might Not Pay More Than the Principal Amount: You may receive a lower Payment at Maturity than you would have received if you had invested in the Basket Indices, any of the stocks included in the Basket Indices, or contracts related to the Basket Indices. If the Basket Ending Level is not above the Basket Starting Level, the Additional Amount will be zero. This will be true even if the level of the Basket was above the Basket Starting Level at some time during the term of the Notes.

¨ Changes in the Level of the Basket Indices May Offset Each Other: The Notes are linked to a Basket composed of four Basket Indices. At a time when the level of one or more Basket Indices increases, the level of one or more of the other Basket Indices may not increase as much or may even decline. Therefore, in calculating the Basket Ending Level, increases in the level of one or more of the Basket Indices may be moderated, or more than offset, by lesser increases or declines in the level of one or more of the Basket Indices.

¨ No Interest or Dividend Payments or Voting Rights: As a holder of the Notes, you will not receive interest payments, and you will not have voting rights or rights to receive cash dividends or other distributions or other rights that holders of stocks included in the Basket Indices would have.

¨ Certain Built-in Costs are Likely to Adversely Affect the Value of the Notes Prior to Maturity: While the Payment at Maturity described in this term sheet is based on the full principal amount of your Notes, the original issue price of the Notes includes the agent’s commission and the cost of hedging our obligations under the Notes through one or more of our affiliates, which includes our affiliates’ expected cost of providing such hedge as well as the profit our affiliates expect to realize in consideration for assuming the risks inherent in providing such hedge. As a result, the price, if any, at which Lehman Brothers Inc. will be willing to purchase Notes from you in secondary market transactions, if at all, will likely be lower than the original issue price and any sale prior to the Maturity Date could result in a substantial loss to you. The Notes are not designed to be short-term trading instruments. YOU SHOULD BE WILLING TO HOLD YOUR NOTES TO MATURITY.

¨ The Basket Return Will Not Be Adjusted for Changes in Exchange Rates Related to the U.S. Dollar that Might Affect Any of the Indices: The value of your Notes will not be adjusted for exchange rate fluctuations between the U.S. dollar and the currencies in which the stocks included in the Dow Jones EURO STOXX 50^® Index, the FTSE 100 Index^®, the Nikkei 225^SM Index and the S&P^®/ASX 200 Index are based. Therefore, if the applicable currencies appreciate or depreciate relative to the U.S. dollar over the term of the Notes, you will not receive any additional payment or incur any reduction in your Payment at Maturity.

¨ Dealer Incentives: We and our affiliates act in various capacities with respect to the Notes. Lehman Brothers Inc. and other of our affiliates may act as a principal, agent or dealer in connection with the Notes. Such affiliates, including the sales representatives, will derive compensation from the distribution of the Notes, and such compensation may serve as an incentive to sell these Notes instead of other investments. We will pay compensation of up to $5.00 per Note to the principals, agents and dealers in connection with the distribution of the Notes.

¨ Lack of Liquidity: The Notes will not be listed on any securities exchange. Lehman Brothers Inc. intends to offer to purchase the Notes in the secondary market but is not required to do so. Even if there is a secondary market, it may not provide enough liquidity to allow you to trade or sell the Notes easily. Because other dealers are not likely to make a secondary market for the Notes, the price at which you may be able to trade your Notes is likely to depend on the price, if any, at which Lehman Brothers Inc. is willing to buy the Notes. If you are an employee of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. or one of our affiliates, you may not be able to purchase the Notes from us and your ability to sell or trade the Notes in the secondary market may be limited.

4

¨ Potential Conflicts: We and our affiliates play a variety of roles in connection with the issuance of the Notes, including acting as calculation agent and hedging our obligations under the Notes. In performing these duties, the economic interests of the calculation agent and other affiliates of ours are potentially adverse to your interests as an investor in the Notes.

¨ We and our Affiliates and Agents May Publish Research, Express Opinions or Provide Recommendations that are Inconsistent with Investing in or Holding the Notes. Any Such Research, Opinions or Recommendations Could Affect the Level of the Basket or the Value of the Notes: We, our affiliates and agents publish research from time to time on financial markets and other matters that may influence the value of the Notes, or express opinions or provide recommendations that are inconsistent with purchasing or holding the Notes. We, our affiliates and agents may have published research or other opinions that are inconsistent with the investment view implicit in the Notes. Any research, opinions or recommendations expressed by us, our affiliates or agents may not be consistent with each other and may be modified from time to time without notice. Investors should make their own independent investigation of the merits of investing in the Notes.

¨ Many Economic and Market Factors Will Impact the Value of the Notes: In addition to the level of the Basket on any day, the value of the Notes will be affected by a number of economic and market factors that may either offset or magnify each other and which are set out in more detail in the product supplement no. 220-I.

¨ Credit of Issuer: An investment in the Notes will be subject to the credit risk of Lehman Brothers Holding Inc., and the actual and perceived creditworthiness of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. may affect the market value of the Notes.

¨ You Must Rely on Your Own Evaluation of the Merits of an Investment in the Notes: In the ordinary course of their businesses Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc., or its respective affiliates, may from time to time express views on expected movements in the levels of the Basket, the Basket Indices or the stocks underlying the Basket Indices. These views are sometimes communicated to clients that are active participants in the equity markets. However, these views, depending upon worldwide economic, political and other developments, may vary over differing time horizons, may be inconsistent with the investment view implied in the Notes and are subject to change. In connection with your purchase of the Notes, you should investigate the equity markets and not rely on views that may be expressed by Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. or its affiliates in the ordinary course of their businesses with respect to the future performance of the Basket, the Basket Indices or the stocks underlying the Basket Indices.

¨ The Closing Levels of the Basket Indices on the Valuation Date May be Below the Closing Levels of the Basket Indices at the Maturity Date or at Other Times During the Term of the Notes: Because the Basket Ending Level is calculated based on the closing levels of the Basket Indices on the Valuation Date and not on the Maturity Date or any other date during the term of the Notes, significant volatility in the closing levels of the Basket Indices at or around the time of the Valuation Date could materially affect the Payment at Maturity. For example, a significant decline in the closing levels of the Basket Indices on the Valuation Date would result in a corresponding decline in the Payment at Maturity notwithstanding a significant increase in the closing levels of the Basket Indices on any date or dates subsequent to the Valuation Date. Under these circumstances, you may receive a lower Payment at Maturity than you would have received if you had invested in the stocks underlying the Basket Indices or contracts relating to the Basket Indices for which there is an active secondary market, the value of which could be realized on any date or dates other than, or in addition to, the Valuation Date.

  Scenario Analysis and Examples at Maturity

The following scenario analysis and examples assume a Participation Rate of 120%, the minimum Participation Rate, and a range of Basket Returns from +40% to - -40%. The actual Participation Rate will be set on the Trade Date.

Example 1—The level of the Basket increases from the Basket Starting Level of 100 to a Basket Ending Level of 120. Because the Basket Ending Level is 120 and the Basket Starting Level is 1000, the Basket Return is 20% calculated as follows:

(120 – 100)/100 = 20%

Because the Basket Return is 20%, the Additional Amount is equal to $240 and the Payment at Maturity is equal to $1,240 per $1,000 principal amount Note calculated as follows:

$1,000 + ($1,000 × 20% × 120%) = $1,240

Example 2—The level of the Basket decreases from the Basket Starting Level of 100 to a Basket Ending Level of 80. Because the Basket Ending Level is 80 and the Basket Starting Level is 100, the Basket Return is -20% calculated as follows:

(80 – 100)/100 = -20%
