The “Redemption
Amount at Maturity” for each $1,000 note will be a single U.S. dollar payment
on the Maturity Date equal to:

 

(A)    $1,000, plus the product
of $1,000 times the Basket Return times the Participation Rate, if the Final
Basket Level is greater than the Initial Basket Level; or

the difference of the Final Commodity Price minus the Initial Commodity Price
and the denominator of which is the Initial Commodity Price for such Component
Commodity.

 

The “Relevant
Exchange” is, for each Component Commodity,
the exchange set forth opposite such Component Commodity below, or its
successor, or if
the exchange set forth below 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 or principal trading markets where options or futures
contracts on that Component Commodity are traded.

Component Commodity on the Valuation Date, subject to the occurrence of a
Disruption Event.

 

The “Commodity
Price” for each Component Commodity is as follows:

  official settlement price of the first nearby month futures contract (or, in
  the case of the last trading day of the first nearby month contract, the
  second nearby month contract) for that Component Commodity, expressed
  (a) in the case of Natural Gas, as the U.S. dollar price per million
  British thermal units (Btu), and (b) in the case of Heating Oil, as the
  U.S. dollar price per gallon, in each case as made public by the Relevant
  Exchange for that Component Commodity (subject to the occurrence of a
  Disruption Event).

  Copper Nickel

  	
   

  	
  For each of Copper and Nickel, 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 for that Component Commodity (subject to the
  occurrence of a Disruption Event).

  

 

A “Valuation
Business Day” is a day, as determined in good faith by the Calculation Agent,
on which the Relevant Exchange for each Component Commodity 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 or organized exchange or market, as applicable, closing prior to its
scheduled closing time).

 

If 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 Final Basket Level using:

 

·              for each such 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 such Component
Commodity that did suffer a Disruption Event on the scheduled Valuation Date,
the Final Commodity Price on the immediately succeeding trading 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 trading days following the scheduled
Valuation Date, then (a) that third scheduled trading 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.

 

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, in each
case 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 for that Component Commodity;

 

4

 

(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 for that Component Commodity, or (ii) the disappearance of, or of
trading in, the Component Commodity;

 

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

 

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

 

For the
purpose of determining whether a Disruption Event for a Component Commodity 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 for the Component Commodity;

 

(2)           a suspension in trading in a Component Commodity on the
Relevant Exchange for that Component Commodity (without taking into account any
extended or after-hours trading session), 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 a
Relevant Exchange for a Component Commodity will not include any time when the
Relevant Exchange for that Component Commodity is closed for trading under
ordinary circumstances.

 

For purposes of calculating the Final Basket
Level in the event of a Disruption Event relating to one or more Component
Commodities in accordance with the above, “trading day” means a day, as
determined in good faith by the Calculation Agent, on which trading is
generally conducted on the Relevant Exchange applicable to the affected
Component Commodity.

 

The “Calculation Agent” means Lehman Brothers
Commodity Services Inc, the determinations and calculations of which will be
binding absent manifest error.

 

Except as provided below, any Redemption Amount at Maturity 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.

 

5

 

Payment of any Redemption Amount at Maturity 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.

LEHMAN BROTHERS
HOLDINGS INC.

MEDIUM-TERM NOTES,
SERIES I

NOTES LINKED TO A BASKET OF COMMODITIES  
 DUE JULY 2, 2012

 

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, Notes Linked to a Basket of Commodities
(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 Redemption Amount at Maturity 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
Redemption Amount at Maturity 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 Redemption Amount at Maturity 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 any
Redemption Amount at Maturity 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 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 at Maturity, calculated as the date of early repayment were
the Maturity Date. If a bankruptcy proceeding is commenced in respect of Lehman
Brothers Holdings, 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 at Maturity, 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 Redemption
Amount at Maturity 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.Exhibit 10.1

 

UNITED
STATES CELLULAR CORPORATION

2008
EXECUTIVE OFFICER ANNUAL INCENTIVE PLAN

Effective
January 1, 2008

 

I.              PURPOSE

 

·                  To provide incentive for the officers of U.S.
Cellular (USCC) to extend their best efforts towards achieving superior results
in relation to key business measures;

 

·                  To reward USCC’s executive officers in
relation to their success in meeting and exceeding the performance targets; and

 

·                  To help USCC attract and retain talented
leaders in positions of critical importance to the success of the company.

 

II.            ELIGIBLE PARTICIPANTS AND TARGETS

 

Executive
Vice Presidents and Senior Vice President. 
Each participant’s target incentive is expressed as a percentage of
his/her base salary (which percentage shall be approved by the Chairman).

 

III.           BONUS POOL

 

The
officer bonus plans of USCC are discretionary in nature, and are based in part,
on company performance, individual performance, and individual bonus targets,
which contribute to the formation and size of an aggregate bonus pool for all
USCC officers.

 

This officer
bonus pool is determined by taking each officer’s target annual bonus
payout (calculated as a percentage of the officer’s base salary) multiplied by
the company / regional performance percentage attainment number achieved
under the applicable officers bonus plan.  The President and CEO will
consider the performance factors (See
Performance Measures in Section IV below) and any other
information he deems relevant in determining the amount available under the
bonus pool.  This pool is not earned, nor are payouts vested until
the bonus payout date.  (See
Attachment I - Administrative Guidelines)

 

The
President and CEO determines the actual payout that each officer will receive
and is not bound to adhere to any guideline.  However, the
sum of all participants’ actual awards cannot deviate from the officer bonus
pool by + /-18% for 2008.  The Chairman
must approve all officer bonuses prior to payout.

 

IV.           PERFORMANCE MEASURES

 

The
following performance measures, using weights and definitions as approved by
the Chairman, will be considered in evaluating the achievements of the officer
team for the purposes of this Plan. 
These components were selected as the best measures of USCC’s growth and
success, and are consistent with those used for other levels of USCC
management.  Payouts based on each of
these measures will be evaluated using the 2008 Executive Officer Annual
Incentive Plan Matrices and the relative weighting of each measure that are
approved by the Chairman.

V.            MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

 

Management
reserves the right to amend or discontinue the Plan at any time, with or
without notice.

 

There
are no oral agreements or understandings between USCC and the participants
affecting or relating to this Plan not referenced herein.  If the participant fails to adhere to the
ethical and legal standards as referenced by USCC policy, USCC shall have the
right to revoke this program, reduce or eliminate compensation as it applies to
the violator, or any other remedy as provided by corporate policy or law.

 

This
program shall not be construed as an employment contract or as a promise of
continuing employment between USCC and the associate.  Employment with USCC is terminable at will,
i.e.; either the participant or USCC may terminate the relationship at any
time, with or without cause.

  job/plan, the last base salary from each position occupied during the plan
  year (if applicable), target incentive assigned for each position’s pay grade,
  and percentage of time worked in each position/plan during the plan year

  BONUS
  PAYOUT DATE

  	
   

  	
  Bonuses
  are to be paid during the period commencing on January 1, 2009 and
  ending on March 15, 2009.  Historically,
  bonuses have been paid on March 15th of each year following
  the end of the plan effective date (12/31).  Notwithstanding
  the foregoing, in the event that payment by March 15, 2009 is
  administratively impracticable and such impracticability was unforeseeable
  (in each case, such that the payment continues to qualify as a “short-term
  deferral” within the meaning of section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code),
  payment will be made as soon as administratively practicable after
  March 15, 2009, but in no event later than December 31, 2009.
  Payment will be in the form of a lump sum.
