ANNEX A
1. 10 Uncommon Values Index.
Each year, the Investment Policy Committee of Lehman Brothers Inc.,
with the assistance of its Equity Research Department, selects a portfolio of 10
common stocks that appear to be unusually attractive and not yet recognized as
such by the market (the "10 Uncommon Values").
The "10 Uncommon Values Index" represents an equal dollar-weighted
portfolio of the common stocks of the ten companies underlying the 10 Uncommon
Values for each Twelve-Month Period during the period beginning on the date of
announcement of the 10 Uncommon Values in 1999 and ending on the Stated
Maturity, as adjusted by certain extraordinary corporate events involving the
issuers of the Index Securities as described herein. The announcement of the ten
common stocks that shall make up the 10 Uncommon Values Index shall be made on
or about July 1 (such date of announcement, the "Announcement Day") of each year
during the term of the Securities. Except as set forth below, the Index
Securities in the 10 Uncommon Values Index shall remain constant for each
Twelve-Month Period.
2. Determination of the Payment Amount.
The Calculation Agent shall determine the Payment Amount payable for
each Security.
The amount payable at Stated Maturity for each $1,000 principal amount
of Securities (the "Maturity Payment Amount") shall equal the greater of (a)
$1,000 and (b) the Alternative Redemption Amount. The amount payable upon a
Redemption of each $1,000 principal amount of Securities (the "Redemption
Payment Amount") shall equal the greater of (a) $1,000 and (b) the Alternative
Redemption Amount. The amount payable upon a Repurchase of each $1,000 principal
amount of Securities (the "Repurchase Payment Amount") shall equal the
Alterative Redemption Amount.
The Index Level used to calculate the Alternative Redemption Amount
shall be determined by the Calculation Agent.
3. Determination of the Rollover Closing Level of the 10 Uncommon Values Index.
The Calculation Agent shall determine the Rollover Closing Level of the
10 Uncommon Values Index for each Twelve-Month Period after the Close of Trading
on the Trading Date prior to each Announcement Day (the "Rollover Determination
Date"). The "Rollover Closing Level" shall equal the sum of (a) the sum of the
products of the Closing Prices and the applicable Multipliers for each Index
Security and (b) the Cash Included in the 10 Uncommon Values Index at the
Closing of Trading, in each case on the Rollover Determination Date. The
Rollover Closing Level shall then be assumed to be used to buy, on the ensuing
<PAGE>
Announcement Day, equal dollar amounts of the ten common stocks that shall
initially be the Index Securities for the next Twelve-Month Period at each Index
Security's Average Execution Price.
4. Multipliers.
The Multiplier relating to each Index Security is the number of shares
(including fractional shares, expressed as a decimal) of such Index Security
included in the 10 Uncommon Values Index. The Multipliers shall be determined by
the Calculation Agent and shall be based on each Index Security's Average
Execution Price. The "Multiplier" for an Index Security shall equal the number
of shares (or fraction of one share) of such Index Security multiplied by the
Average Execution Price for such Index Security so that the Index Security
initially accounts, on the Announcement Day, for 10% of the level of 10 Uncommon
Values Index on an equal dollar-weighted basis. The Multipliers with respect to
each Index Security shall remain constant for the Twelve-Month Period that such
Index Security is part of the 10 Uncommon Values Index unless adjusted for
certain extraordinary corporate events as described below. Each Multiplier shall
be rounded at the Calculation Agent's discretion.
5. Adjustments to the Multipliers and the 10 Uncommon Values Index.
Adjustments to a Multiplier and the 10 Uncommon Values Index shall be
made in the following circumstances:
(a) If an Index Security is subject to a stock split or reverse stock
split, or similar adjustment in the case of American Depositary Receipts
("ADRs"), then once the split has become effective, the Multiplier relating to
the Index Security shall be adjusted. The Multiplier shall be adjusted to equal
the product of the number of shares outstanding of the Index Security after the
split with respect to each share of such Index Security immediately prior to
effectiveness of the split and the prior Multiplier.
If the Index Security is an ADR, then the number of ADRs outstanding shall be
used.
(b) If an Index Security is subject to an extraordinary stock dividend
or extraordinary stock distribution that is given equally to all holders of
shares, then once the Index Security is trading ex-dividend, the Multiplier for
such Index Security shall be increased by the product of the number of shares of
such Index Security issued with respect to one share of such Index Security and
the prior Multiplier.
(c) If the issuer of an Index Security is being liquidated or dissolved
or is subject to a proceeding under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or
other similar law, such Index Security shall continue to be included in the 10
Uncommon Values Index so long as the primary exchange, trading system or market
is reporting a market price for the Index Security. If a market price, including
a price on a bulletin board service, is no longer available for an Index
Security, then the value of the Index Security shall equal zero for so long as
no market price is available, and no attempt shall be made to find a replacement
stock or increase the level of the 10 Uncommon Values Index to compensate for
the deletion of such Index Security.
(d) If the issuer of an Index Security, or if an Index Security is an
ADR, the foreign issuer of the underlying foreign share, has been subject to a
<PAGE>
merger or consolidation and is not the surviving entity and holders of the Index
Security are entitled to receive cash, securities, other property or a
combination thereof in exchange for the Index Security, then the following shall
be included in the 10 Uncommon Values Index:
(i) To the extent cash is received, the 10 Uncommon Values
Index shall include the amount of the cash consideration at the time
holders are entitled to receive the cash consideration (the "M&A Cash
Component"), plus accrued interest. Interest shall accrue beginning the
first London Business Day after the day that holders receive the cash
consideration until the next Announcement Day (the "M&A Cash Component
Interest Accrual Period"). Interest shall accrue on the M&A Cash
Component at a rate equal to the London Interbank Offered Rate
("LIBOR") with a term corresponding to the M&A Cash Component Interest
Accrual Period.
(ii) To the extent that equity securities that are traded or
listed on an exchange, trading system or market are received, once the
exchange for the new securities has become effective, the former Index
Security shall be removed from the 10 Uncommon Values Index and the new
security shall be added to the 10 Uncommon Values Index as a new Index
Security. The Multiplier for the new Index Security shall equal the
product of the last value of the Multiplier of the original Index
Security and the number of securities of the new Index Security
exchanged with respect to one share of the original Index Security.
(iii) To the extent that equity securities that are not traded
or listed on an exchange, trading system or market or non-equity
securities or other property (other than cash) is received, the
Calculation Agent shall determine the "Fair Market Value" of the
securities or other property received based on the Average Execution
Price. The 10 Uncommon Values Index shall include an amount of cash
equal to the product of the Multiplier of the Index Security and the
Fair Market Value (the "M&A Sale Component"). The 10 Uncommon Values
Index shall also include accrued interest on the M&A Sale Component.
Interest shall accrue beginning the first London Business Day after the
day that an affiliate of Holdings sells the securities or other
property used to hedge Holdings' obligations under the Securities until
the next Announcement Day (the "M&A Sale Component Interest Accrual
Period"). Interest shall accrue at a rate equal to LIBOR with a term
corresponding to the M&A Sale Component Interest Accrual Period.
(e) If all of an Index Security of an issuer is converted into or
exchanged for the same or a different number of shares of any class or classes
of common stock other than the Index Security, whether by capital
reorganization, recapitalization or reclassification or otherwise, then, once
the conversion has become effective, the former Index Security shall be removed
from the 10 Uncommon Values Index and the new common stock shall be added to the
10 Uncommon Values Index as a new Index Security. The Multiplier for each new
Index Security shall equal the product of the last value of the Multiplier of
the original Index Security and the number of shares of the new Index Security
issued with respect to one share of the original Index Security.
(f) If the issuer of an Index Security issues to all of its
shareholders common stock or another equity security that is traded or listed on
an exchange, trading system or market of an issuer other than itself, then the
new common stock or other equity security shall be added to the 10 Uncommon
<PAGE>
Values Index as a new Index Security. The multiplier for the new Index Security
shall equal the product of the last value of the Multiplier with respect to the
original Index Security and the number of shares of the new Index Security with
respect to one share of the original Index Security.
(g) If an ADR is no longer listed or admitted to trading on a United
States securities exchange or trading system registered under the Securities
Exchange Act or is no longer a NASDAQ NMS security, then the foreign share
underlying the ADR shall be deemed added to the 10 Uncommon Values Index as a
new Index Security. The initial Multiplier for that new Index Security shall
equal the last value of the Multiplier for the ADR multiplied by the number of
underlying foreign shares represented by a single ADR.
(h) If an Index Security is subject to an extraordinary dividend or an
extraordinary distribution, including upon liquidation or dissolution, of cash,
equity securities that are not traded or listed on an exchange, trading system
or market, non-equity securities or other property of any kind which is received
equally by all holders of such Index Security, then the 10 Uncommon Values Index
shall include the following:
(i) To the extent cash is entitled to be received, the 10
Uncommon Values Index shall include on each day after the time that the
Index Security trades ex-dividend until the date the cash consideration
is entitled to be received, the present value of the cash to be
received, discounted at a rate equal to LIBOR, with a term beginning
that day and ending on the date that the cash is entitled to be
received (the "PV Extraordinary Cash Component"). When the cash
consideration is received, the PV Extraordinary Cash Component will be
deleted from the 10 Uncommon Values Index and the 10 Uncommon Values
Index shall include the amount of the cash consideration (the
"Extraordinary Cash Component"), plus accrued interest. Interest shall
accrue on the Extraordinary Cash Component beginning the first London
Business Day after the day that holders are entitled to receive the
Extraordinary Cash Component until the next the next Announcement Day
(the "Extraordinary Cash Component Interest Accrual Period"). Interest
shall accrue at a rate equal to LIBOR with a term corresponding to the
Extraordinary Cash Component Interest Accrual Period.
(ii) To the extent that equity securities that are not traded
or listed on an exchange, trading system or market or non-equity
securities or other property (other than cash) is received, the
Calculation Agent shall determine the Fair Market Value of the
securities or other property received based on the Average Execution
Price and the 10 Uncommon Values Index shall include an amount of cash
equal to the product of the Multiplier of the Index Security and the
Fair Market Value (the "Extraordinary Sale Component"). The 10 Uncommon
Values Index shall also include accrued interest on the Extraordinary
Sale Component. Interest shall accrue beginning the first London
Business Day after the day that an affiliate of Holdings sells the
securities or other property used to hedge Holdings' obligations under
the Securities until the next Announcement Day (the "Extraordinary Sale
Component Interest Accrual Period"). Interest shall accrue at a rate
equal to LIBOR with a term corresponding to Extraordinary Sale
Component Interest Accrual Period.
<PAGE>
The payment of an ordinary cash dividend by an issuer of an Index
Security from current income or retained earnings shall not result in an
adjustment to the Multiplier.
No adjustments of any Multiplier of an Index Security shall be required
unless the adjustment would require a change of at least .1% (.001) in the
Multiplier then in effect. The Multiplier resulting from any of the adjustments
specified above shall be rounded at the Calculation Agent's discretion.
6. Determination of Daily Level of the 10 Uncommon Values.
If the AMEX is unable to obtain certain information necessary for its
daily calculation and dissemination of the level of the 10 Uncommon Values
Index, the Calculation Agent shall provide the necessary information as follows
below.
In order to determine the value of an Index Security that is listed on
a non-United States exchange, trading system or market (the "Foreign Value"),
the Calculation Agent shall, once per Trading Day, value the Index Security
using the most recent sales price of such Index Security available from the
primary exchange, trading system or market in the Index Security's home market,
quoted as of the Close of Trading.
In order to convert the Foreign Value into U.S. dollars, the
Calculation Agent shall use the Official W.M. Reuters Spot Closing Rate. If
there are several quotes for the Official W.M. Reuters Spot Closing Rate, the
first quoted rate starting at 11:00 A.M. shall be the rate used. If there is no
such Official W.M. Reuters Spot Closing Rate for a country's currency at 11:00
A.M., New York City time, the Foreign Value shall be determined using the last
available U.S. dollar cross-rate quote before 11:00 A.M., New York City time.
In order to determine the value of an Index Security that is listed or
quoted on a bulletin board service, the Calculation Agent shall use the average
of the midpoint of the bid and ask prices provided by three market makers in
that Index Security. The Calculation Agent shall obtain the bid and ask prices
promptly upon the opening of trading on that Trading Day at 9:30 A.M., New York
City time or at such other time as the Calculation Agent determines.
The Calculation Agent shall provide AMEX with the value of the M&A Cash
Component and the M&A Sale Component and/or the PV Extraordinary Cash Component,
the Extraordinary Cash Component and the Extraordinary Sale Component as soon as
such values are available. The Calculation Agent shall, once per Trading Day,
provide AMEX with the interest accrued on the Cash Included in the 10 Uncommon
Values Index.

announced change in the regular business hours of the relevant
exchange, trading system or market;

Index Security by a major securities exchange, trading system or market
by reason of (a) a price change violating limits set by such securities

[Form of Reverse of Security]
This Security is one of a duly authorized series of Securities
of the Company designated as 10 Uncommon Values Index BASES Basket Adjusting
Structured Equity Securities Notes Due 2004 (herein called the "Securities").
This series of Securities is one of an indefinite number of series of debt
securities of the Company, issued and to be issued under an indenture, dated as
of September 1, 1987, as amended (herein called the "Indenture"), duly executed
and delivered by the Company and Citibank N.A., as trustee (herein called the
"Trustee", which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), 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 Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the
Securities.
The Securities are not redeemable prior to July 7, 2002. The
Securities may be redeemed, at the option of the Company, as a whole or from
time to time in part, after July 7, 2002 (the "Redemption"), and prior to the
Stated Maturity, upon the notice referred to below, at a redemption price, for
each $1,000 principal amount of the Securities redeemed, equal to the greater of
(a) $1,000 and (b) the Alternative Redemption Amount (the "Redemption Payment
Amount").
Notice of Redemption shall be given by mailing a notice to the
Holders of such Redemption (the "Redemption Notice") in accordance with the
Indenture. A Redemption shall occur on the Non-Delaying Event Redemption Date
or, if a Delaying Event occurs, on the Delaying Event Redemption Date.
The Securities will be repayable at the option of the Holder
thereof (the "Repurchase"), in whole or from time to time in part, after July 7,
2001, at a price for each $1,000 principal amount of the Securities repurchased,
equal to the Alternative Redemption Amount (the "Repurchase Payment Amount"). In
order for the Holder to be repaid, the Company must receive at the Corporate
Trust Office of the Trustee (or at such other address of which the Company shall
from time to time notify the Holders of the Securities) on any Business Day
after July 7, 2001 (i) this Security with the form entitled "Option to Elect
Repayment" set forth below duly completed or (ii) unless the Holder is The
Depository Trust Company or its nominee or a successor securities depository or
its nominee, a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter from a member
of a national securities exchange or the National Association of Securities
Dealers or a commercial bank or a trust company in the United States of America
setting forth the name of the Holder of this Security, the principal amount of
this Security, the portion of this Security to be repaid, a statement that the
option to elect repayment is being exercised thereby and a guarantee that this
Security together with the form entitled "Option to Elect Repayment" set forth
below duly completed, will be received by the Company not later than five
Business Days after the date of such telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or
letter and this Security and form duly completed are received by the Company by
such fifth Business Day. Any such election shall be irrevocable. All questions
as to the validity, eligibility (including time of receipt) and acceptance of
any Security for repayment will be determined by the Company, whose
<PAGE>
determination will be final and binding. A Repurchase shall occur on the
Non-Delaying Event Repurchase Date or, if a Delaying Event occurs, on the
Delaying Event Repurchase Date.
The Index Level used to calculate the Alternative Redemption
Amount shall be determined by the Calculation Agent.
All percentages resulting from any calculation with respect to
the Securities will be rounded at the Calculation Agent's discretion.
The Trustee shall fully rely on the determination by the
Calculation Agent of the Payment Amount and shall have no duty to make any such
determination.
This Security is not subject to any sinking fund.
If an Event of Default with respect to the Securities shall
occur and be continuing, the amounts payable on all of the Securities may be
declared due and payable 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 Maturity Payment Amount
calculated as though the date of acceleration was the Stated Maturity.
The Indenture contains provisions permitting the Company and
the Trustee, with the consent of the holders of not less than 66_% in aggregate
principal amount of each series of Securities at the time Outstanding to be
affected (each series voting as a class), 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 principal amount thereof, or reduce the rate or
extend the time of payment of interest thereon or reduce any premium payable on
redemption, or make the principal thereof, or premium, if any, or interest
therein payable in any coin or currency other than that hereinabove 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 or the principal of, 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 Security shall
<PAGE>
be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future holders and
owners of this Security and any Securities which may be issued in exchange or
substitution hereof, irrespective of whether or not any notation thereof is made
upon this Security or such other Securities.
No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this
Security or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the
Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal amount with
respect to this Security.
The Securities are issuable in denominations of $1,000 and any
integral multiple of $1,000.
The Company, the Trustee, and any agent of the Company or of
the Trustee may deem and treat the registered holder (the "Holder") hereof as
the absolute owner of this Security (whether or not this Security shall be
overdue and notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing hereon),
for the purpose of receiving payment hereof, or on account hereof, and for all
other 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. All
such payments made to or upon the order of such registered holder shall, to the
extent of the sum or sums paid, effectually satisfy and discharge liability for
moneys payable on this Security.
No recourse for the payment of the principal of, premium, if
any, or interest on this Security, 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 Security, 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.
As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain
limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Security is registrable in
the Security Register, upon surrender of this Security for registration of
transfer at the Corporate Trust Office or agency in a Place of Payment for this
Security, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer
in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed by,
the Holder hereof or such Holder's attorney duly authorized in writing, and
thereupon one or more new Securities of this series or of like tenor and of
authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be
issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
