This Grant Document sets forth the terms and conditions of your grant of Restricted Units and Stock Options under the Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc. (“ML&Co.”) Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Plan”).

1. The Plan.

This grant is made under the Plan, the terms of which are incorporated into this Grant Document. Capitalized terms used in this Grant Document that are not defined shall have the meanings as used or defined in the Plan, which is included in the Prospectus sent to you with this grant. Merrill Lynch, as used in the Grant Document, shall mean ML&Co., its subsidiaries and its affiliates. References in this Grant Document to any specific Plan provision shall not be construed as limiting that provision or the applicability of any other Plan provision.

2. Grant Conditions.

By accepting this grant, you acknowledge that you understand that the grant is subject to all of the terms and conditions contained in the Plan and in this Grant Document and that you consent to all grant terms and conditions, including without limitation, the covenants set forth in paragraph 4 of this Grant Document (the “Covenants”).

2.1 RESTRICTED UNITS

General. You have been awarded            Restricted Units. A Restricted Unit represents the right to receive a share of ML&Co. Common Stock (the “Common Stock”) upon the expiration of the applicable Vesting Period as described below. Your Restricted Units do not have voting rights. A holder of a Restricted Unit will be paid cash amounts equal to dividends paid on an equivalent number of shares of Common Stock on the same date that regular dividends are paid on the Common Stock until the Restricted Units are paid in accordance with their terms.

Vesting. Except as described in this paragraph 2.1(b) and in paragraph 3 of this Grant Document, your rights to Restricted Units shall terminate and the Restricted Units will be cancelled if you terminate employment or otherwise violate any of the terms and conditions of your grant prior to the end of the applicable Vesting Period as described below. Restricted Units may not be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged or otherwise encumbered during the applicable Vesting Period. Upon each of February 3, 2008, February 3, 2009 and February 3, 2010, the Vesting Period applicable to one-third (1/3) of the original number of Restricted Units will end and such Restricted Units will vest and such shares of Common Stock will be delivered to you, subject to a reduction of the number of shares to be delivered of an amount of shares necessary to satisfy Merrill Lynch’s applicable tax withholding requirements. The Committee has specifically amended the definition of Vesting Period in Section 1.2(y) of the Plan, for the sole purpose of permitting the first one-third (1/3) of the Restricted Units to vest on February 3, 2008.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan or herein, in the event that your employment is terminated by Merrill Lynch without Cause (as defined in this paragraph 2.1(b)), all unvested Restricted Units will vest 100% and become payable in shares of Common Stock as of the date of such termination (subject to share withholding).

“Cause” shall mean the occurrence of any of (i) your engagement in (A) willful misconduct resulting in material harm to Merrill Lynch or (B) gross negligence, (ii) your conviction of, or pleading nolo contendere to, a felony or any other crime involving fraud, financial misconduct or misappropriation of Merrill Lynch assets, or (iii) your willful and continual failure, after written notice from the ML&Co. Board of Directors, to (A) perform substantially your employment duties consistent with your position and authority or (B) follow, consistent with your position, duties and authorities, the lawful mandates of the ML&Co. Board of Directors.

Termination of Your Rights to Restricted Units under Certain Circumstances. If (1) your employment terminates for any reason other than (A) termination by Merrill Lynch without Cause (as defined in paragraph 2.1(b)), (B) death, (C) Career Retirement (as defined in paragraph 3) or (D) Disability (as defined in paragraph 3), or (2) you violate any of the Covenants, then your right to the Restricted Units that remain unvested prior to your date of termination or the date of the violation of the Covenants shall terminate and the Restricted Units will be cancelled and shares will not be delivered to you.

Once your Restricted Units have vested in accordance with the terms of this Grant Document, you will be entitled to have those shares delivered, as soon as practicable, to a Merrill Lynch account.

As a participant in the Plan, you must designate a Merrill Lynch account into which shares of Common Stock will be deposited when they are released to you. This account cannot be a Trust Account, Individual Retirement Account or other tax-deferred account. You may use a joint account if you are the primary owner of the account. Account designations can be made on the Payroll Self Service Web Site at http://hr.worldnet.ml.com/edf2. (From the HR Intranet homepage, click on Payroll Self Service.) If you do not designate an account, Merrill Lynch will transfer shares to Wells Fargo, Merrill Lynch’s transfer agent, to be held on your behalf.

General. You have been awarded            Nonqualified Stock Options (the “Stock Options”). Each Stock Option entitles you to purchase one share of Common Stock at the exercise price described below when the stock option becomes vested and exercisable, subject to your continued employment with Merrill Lynch (except as otherwise provided in paragraph 2.2 and/or paragraph 3).

(b) Vesting/Exercisability. Stock Options vest and become exercisable as follows:

(1) On February 3, 2008, one-third of the Stock Options shall vest and become exercisable;

(2) On February 3, 2009, one-third of the Stock Options shall vest and become exercisable; and

(3) On February 3, 2010, one-third of the Stock Options shall vest and become exercisable.

Once vested and exercisable, Stock Options remain exercisable until the expiration date of the Stock Options on February 3, 2017, provided you remain employed by Merrill Lynch (except as otherwise provided in this paragraph 2.2 and/or paragraph 3), and have complied with the terms and conditions of the Grant Document and the Covenants.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan or herein, in the event that your employment is terminated by Merrill Lynch without Cause, all unvested Stock Options shall vest and become exercisable as of the date of such termination.

Exercise Price. The exercise price of the stock options is the price at which you have the right to purchase a share of the Common Stock regardless of the market value at the time of exercise. The exercise price is reflected on the Certificate of Grant. Your option exercise choices are described on the Human Resources section of the Merrill Lynch WorldNet at https://myportal-ltm.worldnet.ml.com/?id=6651  54016  54336  54458  54479.

How to Exercise Stock Options. You may exercise Stock Options through the Retirement Services Group. You must open a Limited Individual Investor Account (LIIA) to exercise. You may submit exercise requests virtually 24 hours a day, seven days a week through the Interactive Voice Response Service (IVR) at 1-877-637-6767.

If you are a restricted person, you will be required to pre-clear any sale of Merrill Lynch equity securities and you will be prohibited from exercising your Stock Options within a blackout period. This may affect your ability to exercise stock options just prior to the expiration date. If you have questions regarding your status as a restricted person and the applicable blackout period, please contact the Corporate Secretary’s Office.

Transferability. Stock Options may not be assigned, pledged or otherwise transferred in whole or in part except as noted below or, in the event of death, to a beneficiary designated on the Designation of Beneficiary Form. A beneficiary may include a charity or trust. All or a portion of the Stock Options awarded herein may be transferred at any time after the grant date to children and grandchildren and to trusts for their benefit. Please contact your tax or financial advisor for advice on transferring stock options.

Termination of Your Rights to Stock Options under Certain Circumstances. If (1) your employment terminates for any reason other than (A) termination by Merrill Lynch without Cause (as defined in paragraph 2.1(b)), (B) death, (C) Career Retirement (as defined in paragraph 3) or (D) Disability (as defined in paragraph 3), or (2) you violate any of the Covenants, your right to the Stock Options that remain unvested prior to your date of termination or the date of the violation of the Covenants set forth in paragraph 4 shall terminate and the Stock Options will be cancelled.

3. Effect of Termination of Employment.

Death. If your death occurs prior to end of the applicable Vesting Period for your Restricted Units, any unvested Restricted Units will vest immediately and shares (net of any withholding requirements) will be delivered to your designated beneficiary or estate as soon as possible.

If your employment is terminated as a result of Disability or if you qualify for Career Retirement, your unvested Restricted Units will continue to vest and your Stock Options will continue to vest and to be and become exercisable notwithstanding your termination, in each case, on the schedule described in paragraphs 2.1(b) and 2.2(b), provided that (1) you do not compete with, or recruit employees from, Merrill Lynch and provide Merrill Lynch with a certification upon your termination and at least annually thereafter (the “Annual Certification”) that you are not engaged in or employed by a business which is in competition with Merrill Lynch and have not solicited or recruited employees from, Merrill Lynch and (2) you do not violate the Covenants. If you compete with the business of, or recruit employees from Merrill Lynch, or fail to return the Annual Certification or certification at exit to Merrill Lynch, or violate the Covenants during the applicable Vesting Period for your Restricted Units or the exercisability period for your Stock Options, your rights to your unvested Restricted Units and unvested and unexercised Stock Options will terminate and such Restricted Units and Stock Options will be cancelled.
