LEHMAN BROTHERS HOLDINGS INC., a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware (herein called the “Company,” which term includes any successor corporation under the Indenture referred to on the reverse hereof), for value received, hereby promises to pay to CEDE & Co., or registered assigns, on the Maturity Date, an amount equal to the Redemption Amount.
The “Maturity Date” is November 23, 2007, or if such day is not a Business Day, on the next following Business Day.
The “Redemption Amount” is the amount equal to the sum of (a) the principal amount of the Notes plus (b) the Fixed Return plus (c) if Crude OilREF is equal to or less than the Lower Barrier on any Exchange Business Day during the Observation Period, the Principal Adjustment Amount.
The “Fixed Return” is a single U.S. Dollar payment equal to the principal amount of the Notes multiplied by 9.05%.
The “Principal Adjustment Amount” is an amount equal to the principal amount of the Notes multiplied by the lesser of (a) the Crude Oil Return, and (b) 0%.
The “Observation Period” is the period from and including the Trade Date to and including the Valuation Date.
The “Trade Date” is November 14, 2006.
The “Valuation Date” is 5 Exchange Business Days prior to the Maturity Date; provided that, if a Disruption Event is in effect on the scheduled Valuation Date, the Valuation Date may be postponed (as described below).
“Crude OilREF” is, for any Exchange Business Day within the Observation Period, the Crude Oil Price on such Exchange Business Day. Crude OilREF on the Valuation Date shall equal the Final Crude Oil Price.
“Crude Oil” is light sweet crude oil.
The “Crude Oil Contract” is the December 2007 futures contract for Crude Oil, which is the Crude Oil futures contract scheduled for settlement in December 2007, traded on the Relevant Exchange.
The “Lower Barrier” is $49.8525, equal to the Crude Oil Strike multiplied by 75%.
The “Crude Oil Strike” is $66.47, equal to the Crude Oil Price on the Trade Date.
The “Final Crude Oil Price” is the Crude Oil Price on the Valuation Date.
2
The “Crude Oil Return” is a quotient, (x) the numerator of which is the Final Crude Oil Price minus the Crude Oil Strike and (y) the denominator of which is the Crude Oil Strike.
The “Relevant Exchange” is the NYMEX Division, or its successor, of the New York Mercantile Exchange, Inc., or its successor; or, if NYMEX is no longer the principal exchange or trading market for Crude Oil options or futures contracts, such other exchange or principal trading market for Crude Oil as determined in good faith by the Calculation Agent which serves as the source of prices for Crude Oil, and any principal exchanges where options or futures contracts on Crude Oil are traded.
An “Exchange Business Day” is a day, as determined by the Calculation Agent, on which the Relevant Exchange is scheduled to be (or, but for the occurrence of a Disruption Event, would have been) open for trading during its regular trading session (notwithstanding the Relevant Exchange closing prior to its scheduled closing time).
If a Disruption Event identified in clauses (A), (B) or (C) below is in effect on any Exchange Business Day during the Observation Period to but excluding the earlier of (i) the Valuation Date and (ii) the Exchange Business Day on which Crude OilREF was first equal to or less than the Lower Barrier, the Calculation Agent will determine Crude OilREF applicable to such Exchange Business Day in accordance with the Fallback Price Determination below. If a Disruption Event identified in clauses (D) or (E) below is in effect on any such Exchange Business Day, the Calculation Agent will determine Crude OilREF applicable to such Exchange Business Day in its sole and absolute discretion taking into account the latest available quotation for the Crude Oil Price and any other information that in good faith it deems relevant.
If Crude OilREF was equal to or less than the Lower Barrier on any Exchange Business Day during the Observation Period and, on the Valuation Date, a Disruption Event identified in clauses (A), (B) or (C) below is in effect, the Valuation Date will be postponed to, and the Calculation Agent will determine the Final Crude Oil Price on, the first Exchange Business Day succeeding the Valuation Date on which no Disruption Event is occurring; provided that if a Disruption Event is occurring on each of the three scheduled Exchange Business Days succeeding the Valuation Date, such third scheduled Exchange Business Day shall be deemed the Valuation Date and the Calculation Agent will determine the Final Crude Oil Price on such third scheduled Exchange Business Day succeeding the Valuation Date in accordance with the Fallback Price Determination below. If Crude OilREF was less than or equal to the Lower Barrier on any Exchange Business Day during the Observation Period and, on the Valuation Date, a Disruption Event identified in clauses (D) or (E) below is in effect, the Calculation Agent will determine the Final Crude Oil Price on the Valuation Date in its sole and absolute discretion, taking into account the latest available quotation for the settlement price of the Crude Oil Contract and any other information that in good faith it deems relevant.
A “Disruption Event” means any of the following events as determined in good faith by the Calculation Agent:
(A) the suspension of or material limitation on trading in the Crude Oil Contract or Crude Oil, or futures contracts or options related to the Crude Oil Contract or Crude Oil, on the Relevant Exchange;
3
(B) either (i) the failure of trading to commence, or permanent discontinuance of trading, in the Crude Oil Contract or Crude Oil, or futures contracts or options related to the Crude Oil Contract or Crude Oil, on the Relevant Exchange, or (ii) the disappearance of, or of trading in, Crude Oil;
(C) the failure of the Relevant Exchange to publish the official daily settlement price for that day for the Crude Oil Contract (or the information necessary for determining the settlement price);
(D) the occurrence since the Trade Date of a material change in the content, composition, or constitution of Crude Oil or the Crude Oil Contract; or
(E) the occurrence since the Trade Date of a material change in the formula for or the method of calculating the settlement price of the Crude Oil Contract.
For the purpose of determining whether a Disruption Event has occurred:
(1) a limitation on the hours in a trading day and/or number of days of trading will not constitute a Disruption Event if it results from an announced change in the regular business hours of the Relevant Exchange;
(2) a suspension in trading on the Relevant Exchange (without taking into account any extended or after-hours trading session), in the Crude Oil Contract, by reason of a price change reflecting the maximum permitted price change from the previous trading day's settlement price will constitute a Disruption Event; and
(3) a suspension of or material limitation on trading on the Relevant Exchange will not include any time when the Relevant Exchange is closed for trading under ordinary circumstances.
In the event that the “Fallback Price Determination” is invoked, the Calculation Agent will determine Crude OilREF applicable to the relevant Exchange Business Day, or the Final Crude Oil Price on the Valuation Date, as the case may be, by requesting four leading dealers in Crude Oil (selected in the sole discretion of the Calculation Agent) (the “Reference Dealers”) to provide price quotations for the relevant Crude OilREF or the Final Crude Oil Price. If at least two quotations are provided, the relevant Crude OilREF or the Final Crude Oil Price, as the case may be, will be the arithmetic mean of such quotations. If only one Reference Dealer provides a price quotation, then the Calculation Agent, in its sole discretion, will determine whether that quotation is reasonable to be used. If the Calculation Agent determines that such single price quotation is not reasonable to be used, or if no price quotation is provided, the Calculation Agent will determine the relevant Crude OilREF or the Final Crude Oil Price, as the case may be, in its sole and absolute discretion taking into account the latest available quotation for the settlement price of the Crude Oil Contract and any other information that in good faith it deems relevant.
A “Business Day”, notwithstanding any provision in the Indenture, is any day that is not is not a Saturday or Sunday and that is not a day on which banking institutions in New York City generally are authorized or obligated by law or executive order to be closed.
4
The “Calculation Agent” means Lehman Brothers Commodity Services Inc.
Except as provided below, the Redemption Amount, if any, may, at the option of the Company, be made by check mailed to the person entitled thereto at such person’s address as it appears on the registry books of the Company.
Payment of any Redemption Amount will be made in immediately available funds in accordance with the normal procedures of the Trustee (or any duly appointed Paying Agent).
The Company will pay any administrative costs imposed by banks in making payments in immediately available funds, but any tax, assessment or governmental charge imposed upon payments hereunder, including, without limitation, any withholding tax, will be borne by the Holder hereof.
References herein to “U.S. dollars” or “U.S.$” or “$” or “USD” are to the coin or currency of the United States as at the time of payment is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts.
REFERENCE IS HEREBY MADE TO THE FURTHER PROVISIONS OF THIS NOTE SET FORTH ON THE REVERSE HEREOF. SUCH FURTHER PROVISIONS SHALL FOR ALL PURPOSES HAVE THE SAME EFFECT AS IF SET FORTH AT THIS PLACE.
This Note shall not be valid or become obligatory for any purpose until the certificate of authentication hereon shall have been signed by the Trustee under the Indenture.
5
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. has caused this instrument to be signed by its Chairman of the Board, its President, its Vice Chairman, its Chief Financial Officer, one of its Vice Presidents or its Treasurer, by manual or facsimile signature under its corporate seal, attested by its Secretary or one of its Assistant Secretaries by manual or facsimile signature.

Section 1. General. This Note is one of a duly authorized series of Notes of the Company designated as the Medium-Term Notes, Series I, Principal Protected Global Cash Basket Fx-Linked Note (herein called the “Notes”). The Notes are one of an indefinite number of series of debt securities of the Company (collectively, the “Securities”) issued or issuable under and pursuant to an indenture dated as of September 1, 1987, as amended and supplemented (the “Indenture”), duly executed and delivered by the Company and Citibank, N.A., as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee”), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a description of the rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Trustee, the Company and the holders of the Securities. The separate series of Securities may be issued in various aggregate principal amounts, may mature at different times, may bear interest (if any) at different rates, may be subject to different redemption provisions or repurchase rights (if any), may be subject to different sinking, purchase or analogous funds (if any), may be subject to different covenants and Events of Default and may otherwise vary as in the Indenture provided.
Section 2. Principal Amount for Indenture Purposes. For the purpose of determining whether Holders of the requisite amount of Notes of this series outstanding under the Indenture have made a demand, given a notice or waiver or taken any other action, the principal amount of this Note will be deemed to be the principal amount of this Note then outstanding.
Section 3. Modification and Waivers. The Indenture contains provisions permitting the Company and the Trustee, with the consent of the Holders of not less than 662¤3% in aggregate principal amount of each series of the Securities at the time Outstanding to be affected, evidenced as in the Indenture provided, to execute supplemental indentures adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Indenture or of any supplemental indenture or modifying in any manner the rights of the holders of the Securities of all such series; provided, however, that no such supplemental indenture shall, among other things, (i) change the fixed maturity of any Security, or reduce the Additional Amount or the principal amount thereof, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest thereon or reduce any premium or other amount payable on redemption, or make the Additional Amount or the principal amount thereof, premium or other amount payable, if any, or interest thereon payable in any coin or currency other than that herein above provided, without the consent of the Holder of each Security so affected, or (ii) change the place of payment on any Security, or impair the right to institute suit for payment on any Security, or reduce the aforesaid percentage of Securities, the holders of which are required to consent to any such supplemental indenture, without the consent of the holders of each Security so affected. It is also provided in the Indenture that, prior to any declaration accelerating the maturity of any series of Securities, the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of such series
Outstanding may on behalf of the holders of all the Securities of such series waive any past default or Event of Default under the Indenture with respect to such series and its consequences, except a default in the payment of interest, if any, on the Additional Amount or the principal amount, or premium, if any, on any of the Securities of such series, or in the payment of any sinking fund installment or analogous obligation with respect to Securities of such series. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future holders and owners of this Note and any Notes of this series which may be issued in exchange or substitution herefor, irrespective of whether or not any notation thereof is made upon this Note or such other Notes of this series.
Section 4. Obligations Unconditional. No reference herein to the Indenture and no provisions of this Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the Additional Amount or the principal amount on this Note at the place, at the respective times, at the rate, and in the coin or currency herein prescribed.
Section 5. Defeasance. The Indenture contains provisions for the discharge of the Indenture and defeasance at any time of the indebtedness on this Note upon compliance by the Company with certain conditions set forth therein, which provisions apply to this Note.

Each Note will be issued initially as either a Global Security or a Certificated Note, at the option of the Company, in denominations of $1,000 or whole multiples of $1,000, either at the office or agency to be designated and maintained by the Company for such purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, New York City, pursuant to the provisions of the Indenture or at any of such other offices or agencies as may be designated and maintained by the Company for such purpose pursuant to the provisions of the Indenture, and in the manner and subject to the limitations provided in the Indenture, but without the payment of any service charge, except for any tax or other governmental charges imposed in connection therewith. Notes of this series are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Notes of this series of a different authorized denomination, except that Global Securities will not be exchangeable for Certificated Notes of this series.
Section 7. Registration of Transfer. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations as therein set forth, the transfer of this Note is registrable in the Security Register, upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer, at the Corporate Trust Office or agency in a Place of Payment for this Note, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar requiring such written instrument of transfer duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Notes of this series, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
If at any time the Depository notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depository or if at any time the Depository shall no longer be eligible under the Indenture, the Company shall appoint a successor Depository.

Prior to due presentment of this Note for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the person in whose name this Note is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Company nor the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or of the Trustee shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.
Section 8. Events of Default. If an Event of Default with respect to Notes of this series shall occur and be continuing, the amount declared due and payable upon any acceleration of the Notes will be determined by the Calculation Agent and will equal the Redemption Amount calculated as though the maturity of the Notes were the date of early repayment in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. The amount payable to the Holder hereof upon any acceleration permitted under the Indenture will be equal to the Redemption Amount calculated as though the date to which the maturity has been accelerated were the Maturity Date as determined by the Calculation Agent.
Section 9. No Recourse Against Certain Persons. No recourse for the payment of the Additional Amount or for any claim based hereon or otherwise in respect hereof, and no recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement of the Company in the Indenture or any Indenture supplemental thereto or in any Note, or because of the creation of any indebtedness represented thereby, shall be had against any incorporator, stockholder, officer or director, as such, past, present or future, of the Company or of any successor corporation, either directly or through the Company or any successor corporation, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability being, by the acceptance hereof and as part of the consideration for the issue hereof, expressly waived and released.
