The formulas for the bremsstrahlung and pair production processes in lepton-nuclear collisions are extended to the case when these processes are accompanied by arbitrary excitation of the nucleus (or of any other target with a structure). Exact expressions are obtained, and approximations valid only at relativistic energies are made. It is shown by way of example that the nuclear electromagnetic form-factor is taken into account, the cross section for bremsstrahlung from a muon in a nuclear field decreases by 10--15%.
