LEHMAN BROTHERS HOLDINGS INC. By:___/s/ Oliver Budde________ Name: Oliver Budde Title: Vice President LEHMAN BROTHERS INC., as Calculation Agent By:__ /s/ Oliver Budde________ Name: Oliver Budde Title: Vice President ANNEX A 1. The Index. The Index is the Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM, as calculated by Dow Jones & Company, Inc. (the "Index"). The Index is a price-weighted index of 30 common stocks chosen by the editors of The Wall Street Journal as representative of a broad cross-section of U.S. industry. As of September 25, 2002, the component companies of the Dow Jones Industrial Average were as follows: 3M Company, Alcoa Inc., American Express Company, AT&T Corp., The Boeing Company, Caterpillar Inc., Citigroup Inc., The Coca-Cola Company, E.I. du Pont de Nemours and Company, Eastman Kodak Company, Exxon Mobil Corporation, General Electric Company, General Motors Corporation, Hewlett-Packard Company, The Home Depot, Inc., Honeywell International Inc., Intel Corporation, International Business Machines Corporation, International Paper Company, J.P. Morgan Chase & Co., Johnson & Johnson, McDonald's Corporation, Merck & Co., Inc., Microsoft Corporation, Philip Morris Companies. Inc., The Procter & Gamble Company, SBC Communications Inc., United Technologies Corporation, Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. and The Walt Disney Company. 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 (i) the greater of (a) $1,000 and (b) the Alternative Redemption Amount and (ii) any accrued but unpaid interest through but excluding the Stated Maturity. The amount payable upon a Redemption of each $1,000 principal amount of Securities (the "Redemption Payment Amount") shall equal (i) the greater of (a) $1,000 and (b) the Alternative Redemption Amount and (ii) any accrued but unpaid interest through but excluding the Non-Delaying Event Redemption Date or, if a Delaying Event occurs, through the Delaying Event Redemption Date. The amount payable upon a Repurchase of each $1,000 principal amount of Securities (the "Repurchase Payment Amount") shall equal (i) the Alternative Redemption Amount and (ii) any accrued but unpaid interest through the Non-Delaying Event Repurchase Date or, if a Delaying Event occurs, through but excluding the Delaying Event Repurchase Date. The Settlement Value used to calculate the Alternative Redemption Amount shall be determined by the Calculation Agent. 3. Discontinuance of the Index. (a) If Dow Jones & Company, Inc. ("Dow Jones") discontinues publication of the Index and Dow Jones or another entity publishes a successor or substitute index (the "Successor Index") that the Calculation Agent determines, in its sole discretion, to be comparable to the discontinued Index, then the Calculation Agent shall calculate the Maturity Payment Amount pursuant to Section 2 hereof by reference to the index level of such Successor Index at the Close of Trading on the NYSE, AMEX, Nasdaq or the relevant exchange or market for the Successor Index on the date that any Settlement Value is to be determined. 2 (b) Upon any selection by the Calculation Agent of a Successor Index, the Company shall promptly give notice to the holders of the Securities. (c) If Dow Jones discontinues publication of the Index prior to, and such discontinuance is continuing on, the date that any Settlement Value is to be determined and the Calculation Agent determines that no Successor Index is available at such time, then, on such date, the Calculation Agent shall determine the Settlement Value to be used in computing the Alternative Redemption Amount. The Settlement Value to be used in computing the Alternative Redemption Amount shall be computed by the Calculation Agent in accordance with the formula for and method of calculating the Index last in effect prior to such discontinuance, using the Closing Price (or, if trading in the relevant securities has been materially suspended or materially limited, its good faith estimate of the Closing Price that would have prevailed but for such suspension or limitation) at the close of the principal trading session on such date of each security most recently comprising the Index on the primary organized U.S. exchange or trading system on which such securities trade. For purposes of this Section, "Closing Price" means the last reported sales level of the Index at 4:00 p.m., New York City time. 4. Alteration of Method of Calculation. If at any time the method of calculating the Index or a Successor Index, or the Closing Level to be used in computing the Alternative Redemption Amount, is changed in a material respect, or if the Index or a Successor Index is in any other way modified so that such Index does not, in the opinion of the Calculation Agent, fairly represent the value of the Index or such Successor Index had such changes or modifications not been made, then, from and after such time, the Calculation Agent will, at the Close of Trading in New York City on the date that the Settlement Value to be used in computing the Alternative Redemption Amount is to be determined, make such calculations and adjustments as, in the good faith judgment of the Calculation Agent, may be necessary in order to arrive at a level of a stock index comparable to the Index or such Successor Index, as the case may be, as if such changes or modifications had not been made, and calculate the Settlement Value and the Alternative Redemption Amount with reference to the Index or such Successor Index, as adjusted. Accordingly, if the method of calculating the Index or a Successor Index is modified so that the level of such index is a fraction of what it would have been if it had not been modified (e.g., due to a split in the index), then the Calculation Agent shall adjust such index in order to arrive at a level of the Index or such Successor Index as if it had not been modified (e.g., as if such split had not occurred). 5.
