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 June 29, 2010, 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 the principal amount of the Notes
plus the Supplemental Redemption Amount, if any.


The “Supplemental
Redemption Amount” is a single U.S. dollar payment calculated by the
Calculation Agent equal to the principal amount of the Notes multiplied by:


(A)  the Basket Return, if the Basket Return is
greater than 30.000%;


(B)   30.000%, if the Basket
Return is greater than –8.000% but equal to or less than 30.000%; or


(C)  0%, if the Basket Return is less than or
equal to –8.000%.


The “Basket Return” is the sum of the Weighted Component Commodity
Returns, expressed as a percentage (rounded to three decimal places).


The “Component Commodities” are Copper, Nickel, Aluminum and Zinc.


 “Copper” is Copper — Grade A.


“Nickel” is Primary Nickel.


“Aluminum” is High Grade Primary Aluminum.


“Zinc” is Special High Grade Zinc.


The “Weighted Component Commodity Return” is, for each Component
Commodity, the Component Commodity Weighting for such Component Commodity
multiplied by a quotient, the numerator of which is the difference between the
Final Commodity Price for such Component Commodity and the Commodity Strike for
such Component Commodity and the denominator of which is the Commodity Strike
for such Component Commodity.


The “Weighting” for each Component Commodity is 25%.


The “Commodity Strike” is, for each Component Commodity, the Commodity
Price on the date hereof, as set forth below:




	
  Component

  Commodity Strike

  
	
  Copper

The “Original Trade Date” is June 22, 2007.


The “Original Issue Date” is June 29, 2007.


The “Valuation Date” is five Exchange Business Days
prior to the Maturity Date; provided that, upon the occurrence of a Disruption
Event with respect to a Component Commodity, the Valuation Date for the
affected Component Commodity may be postponed.


The “Final Commodity Price” is, for each Component
Commodity, the Commodity Price on the Valuation Date.


The “Commodity Price” is, for each Component Commodity,
the official settlement price of that Component Commodity for cash delivery,
expressed as the U.S. dollar price per metric ton of the Component Commodity,
as made public by the Relevant Exchange (subject to the occurrence of a
Disruption Event).


The “Relevant Exchange” is, for each Component
Commodity, the London Metal Exchange, or its successor, or if the London Metal
Exchange is no longer the principal exchange or trading market for a Component
Commodity or options or futures contracts for such Component Commodity, such
other exchange or principal trading market for the relevant Component Commodity
as determined in good faith by the Calculation Agent which serves as the source
of prices for that Component Commodity, and any principal exchanges where options
or futures contracts on that Component Commodity are traded.


If the Calculation Agent determines
that a Disruption Event identified in clauses (A), (B) or (C) below relating to
one or more Component Commodities is in effect on the scheduled Valuation Date,
the Calculation Agent will calculate the Basket Return using:


·                                          for each Component Commodity that did not suffer a
Disruption Event on the scheduled Valuation Date, the Final Commodity Price for
that Component Commodity on the scheduled Valuation Date, and


·                                          for each Component Commodity that did suffer a
Disruption Event on the scheduled Valuation Date, the Final Commodity Price on
the immediately succeeding Exchange Business Day for such Component Commodity
on which no Disruption Event occurs or is continuing with respect to such
Component Commodity;


provided however that if a Disruption Event has occurred or
is continuing with respect to a Component Commodity on each of the three
scheduled Exchange Business Days following the scheduled Valuation Date, then
(a) that third Exchange Business Day shall be deemed the Valuation Date for the
affected Component Commodity; and (b) the Calculation Agent will determine the
Final Commodity Price for the affected Component Commodity on such day in its
sole and absolute discretion taking into account the latest available quotation
for the Commodity Price for the affected Component Commodity and any other
information that in good faith it deems relevant.



 3
 









 


If a Disruption Event identified in
clauses (D) or (E) below relating to one or more Component Commodities is in
effect on the Valuation Date, the Calculation Agent will determine the Final
Commodity Price for the affected Component Commodity on the scheduled Valuation
Date in its sole and absolute discretion taking into account the latest
available quotation for the Commodity Price for the affected Component
Commodity and any other information that in good faith it deems relevant.


A “Disruption Event” for a
Component Commodity 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 Component Commodity, or futures contracts or options related to the
Component Commodity, on the Relevant Exchange;


(B)                                either (i) the failure of trading to commence, or
permanent discontinuance of trading, in the Component Commodity, or futures
contracts or options related to the Component Commodity, on the Relevant
Exchange, or (ii) the disappearance of, or of trading in, the Component Commodity;


(C)                                the failure of the Relevant Exchange to publish the
official daily settlement price of the Component Commodity for that day (or the
information necessary for determining the settlement price);


(D)                               the occurrence since the Original Trade Date of a material
change in the content, composition, or constitution of the Component Commodity;
or


(E)                                 the occurrence since the Original Trade Date of a
material change in the formula for or the method of calculating the settlement
price of the Component Commodity.


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 a
Component Commodity 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)                                  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.


An “Exchange
Business Day” is a day, as determined in good faith by the Calculation Agent,
on which the Relevant Exchange is scheduled to be (or, but for the



 4
 









 


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).


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.


The “Calculation Agent” means
Lehman Brothers Commodity Services Inc.


Except as provided below, the Supplemental 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 Supplemental 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

MEDIUM-TERM NOTES,
SERIES I


BASE METALS BASKET BONUS NOTE
 DUE JUNE 29, 2010


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, Base Metals Basket Bonus 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 66-2/3% 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 Supplemental Redemption 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 Supplemental Redemption 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



 7
 









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 Supplemental Redemption 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 Supplemental Redemption 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.


Section 6.  Authorized
Form and Denominations.  The Notes of
this series are issuable in registered form, without coupons.  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.  If a
successor Depository for the Notes of this series is not appointed by the
Company within 90 days after the Company receives



 8
 









such
notice or becomes aware of such ineligibility, the Company will issue, and the
Trustee will authenticate and deliver, Notes of this series in definitive form
in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of this Note.


No service charge shall
be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may
require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental
charge that may be imposed in connection therewith.


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
that may be declared due and payable upon any acceleration of the notes will be
determined by the Calculation Agent for the period from and including the
Original Issue Date to but excluding the date of early repayment and will
equal, for each note, the Redemption Amount, calculated as the date of early
repayment were the Maturity Date. If a bankruptcy proceeding is commenced in
respect of the Company, the claim of the beneficial owner of a note for the
period from and including the Original Issue Date to but excluding the date of
early repayment will be capped at the Redemption Amount, calculated as though
the date of the commencement of the proceeding were the Maturity Date.


Section 9.  No
Recourse Against Certain Persons.  No
recourse for the payment of the Supplemental Redemption 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.


Section 10.  Defined
Terms.  All terms used but not
defined in this Note are used herein as defined in the Indenture.


Section 11.  GOVERNING LAW.  THIS NOTE SHALL BE
GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
