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 at Maturity.

The
“Maturity Date” is December 10, 2007, or if such day is not a Business Day, on
the next following Business Day.

The “Valuation
Date” is December 3, 2007, or if such day is not a Valuation Business Day, the
immediately preceding Valuation Business Day; 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 “Redemption Amount at Maturity” will be a single U.S.
dollar payment on the Maturity Date equal to the product of the principal
amount of the notes muliplied by the difference of 102.5% minus the Discount
Factor.

The “Component Commodities” are Gold and Silver.

The “Discount Factor” is a percentage equal to the greater
of (a) 0.00%; (b) the Gold Discount Factor (if any); and (c) the Silver
Discount Factor (if any).

The “Gold Discount Factor” is:

(A)                              if the Final Gold Price is greater than the Gold
Upper Boundary, a quotient, the numerator of which is the difference of the
Final Gold Price minus the Gold Upper Boundary and the denominator of which is
the Gold Upper Boundary; or

(B)                                if the Final Gold Price is less than the Gold Lower
Boundary, a quotient, the numerator of which is the difference of the Gold
Lower Boundary minus the Final Gold Price and the denominator of which is the
Gold Lower Boundary; or

provided
that the Gold Discount Factor shall not exceed a maximum of 17.50%.

The “Silver
Discount Factor” is:

(A)                              if the Final Silver Price is greater than the Silver
Upper Boundary, a quotient, the numerator of which is the difference of the
Final Silver Price minus the Silver Upper Boundary and the denominator of which
is the Silver Upper Boundary; or

(B)                                if the Final Silver Price is less than the Silver
Lower Boundary, a quotient, the numerator of which is the difference of the
Silver Lower Boundary minus the Final Silver Price and the denominator of which
is the Silver Lower Boundary; or

 2
 

provided
that the Silver Discount Factor shall not exceed a maximum of 17.50%.

The “Gold
Upper Boundary” is $730.00.

The “Gold
Lower Boundary” is $500.00.

The “Silver
Upper Boundary” is 1500.00 U.S. cents.

The “Silver
Lower Boundary” is 950.00 U.S. cents.

The “Gold
Strike” is $659.50, which is the Gold Price on the Trade Date.

The “Silver
Strike” is 1168.50 U.S. cents, which is the Silver Price on the Trade Date.

The “Final
Gold Price” is the Gold Price on the Valuation Date.

The “Final
Silver Price” is the Silver Price on the Valuation Date.

The “Gold
Price” is the official afternoon fixing price, stated in U.S. dollars per fine
troy ounce, as calculated and quoted by the London Bullion Market Association
(the “LBMA”) (subject to the occurrence of a Disruption Event).

The “Silver
Price” is the daily fixing price, stated in U.S. cents per troy ounce, as
calculated and quoted by the LBMA (subject to the occurrence of a Disruption
Event).

The “Trade
Date” is August 22, 2007.

The “Issue
Date” is August 30, 2007.

The “Relevant
Market” is, for each Component Commodity, the market in London on which members
of the LBMA, or any successor thereto, quote prices for the buying and selling
of the Component Commodity, or if such market is no longer the principal
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.

A “Valuation
Business Day” is a day on which members of the LBMA are, or in the good faith
judgment of the Calculation Agent would in the ordinary course be, quoting
prices for the buying and selling of the Component Commodities.

If a
Disruption Event 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 Gold Price or the Final Silver Price, as applicable, for that
Component Commodity on the scheduled Valuation Date, and

 3
 

·                                          for each Component
Commodity that did suffer a Disruption Event on the scheduled Valuation Date,
the Final Gold Price or the Final Silver Price, as applicable, on the
immediately succeeding Valuation 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 Valuation Business Days following the
scheduled Valuation Date, then (a) that third Valuation Business Day shall be
deemed the Valuation Date for the affected Component Commodity; and (b) the
Calculation Agent will determine the Final Gold Price or the Final Silver
Price, as applicable, for the affected Component Commodity on such day in its
sole and absolute discretion taking into account the latest available quotation
for the Gold Price or the Silver Price, as applicable, 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 Market

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

(C)                               the failure of the LBMA to
calculate or publish the official fixing price of the Component Commodity for
that day (or the information necessary for determining the official fixing
prices)

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 trading
hours of the Relevant Market; and

(2)                                 a suspension of or
material limitation on trading in the Relevant Market will not include any time
when trading is not conducted or prices are not quoted by the LBMA in the
Relevant Market under ordinary circumstances.

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.

 4
 

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.

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.

OF NOTE]

LEHMAN BROTHERS
HOLDINGS INC.

MEDIUM-TERM NOTES, SERIES I
 GOLD/SILVER PYRAMID NOTES  
 DUE DECEMBER 10, 2007

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, Gold/Silver Pyramid Notes (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 $10,000 or whole multiples of $10,000, 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 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 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.
