        % SUBORDINATED NOTE, DUE             

BANK OF AMERICA CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (herein called the “Corporation,” which term includes any successor corporation under the Indenture referred to on the reverse hereof), for value received, hereby promises to pay to                                                   or its registered assigns, the principal sum of                      DOLLARS¹ on                     ,             ² (except to the extent redeemed or repaid prior to that date). The Corporation will pay interest on such principal amount at the rate of     % per annum³, until payment of such principal amount has been made or duly provided for, semi-annually⁴ in arrears on                      and                      of each year (each, an “Interest Payment Date”). Interest shall be payable on each Interest Payment Date commencing on the [first][second] Interest Payment Date succeeding the Original Issue Date (as defined below) and at the stated

maturity or earlier redemption or repayment (the “Maturity Date”). If the Corporation shall default in the payment of interest due on any Interest Payment Date, then this Note shall bear interest from the next preceding Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid, or, if no interest has been paid on the Notes, from                      (the “Original Issue Date”).

Interest on this Note will accrue from the Original Issue Date of this Note until the principal amount is paid or duly provided for. Interest (including payments for partial periods) will be computed on the basis of a [360-day year of twelve 30-day months]. Interest payable on this Note on any Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date will include interest accrued from, and including, the preceding Interest Payment Date in respect of which interest has been paid or duly provided for (or from, and including, the Original Issue Date, if no interest has been paid or duly provided for) to, but excluding, such Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date, as the case may be. If the Maturity Date or any Interest Payment Date falls on a day which is not a Business Day, as defined below, principal of or interest payable with respect to such Maturity Date or Interest Payment Date will be paid on the succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on such Maturity Date or Interest Payment Date, as the case may be, and no additional interest shall accrue as a result of that postponement. The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will be paid to the person in whose name this Note (or one or more predecessor Notes evidencing all or a portion of the same debt as this Note) is registered at the close of business on the regular record date for such Interest Payment Date, whether or not a Business Day (as defined below). As long as the Notes are represented by a global note, the regular record date shall be the close of business on the Business Day next preceding such Interest Payment Date. If, pursuant to the terms of the Indenture, the Notes are no longer represented by a global note, the record date shall be the close of business on [the last day of the calendar month preceding an Interest Payment Date][the fifteenth day of the calendar month in which the Interest Payment Date occurs]. “Business Day” means any weekday that is not a legal holiday in New York, New York, Charlotte, North Carolina, or any other place of payment with respect to this Note and that is not a day on which banking institutions in those cities are authorized or required by law or regulation to be closed. [“Business Day” also means, with respect to Notes denominated in euro, a day on which the TransEuropean Real-Time Gross-Settlement Express Transfer, or “TARGET,” System is in place.]⁵

The principal of and interest on this Note are payable in immediately available funds in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts, at the office or agency of the Corporation designated as provided in the Indenture. However, interest may be paid, at the option of the Corporation, by check mailed to the person entitled thereto at his address last appearing on the registry books of the Corporation relating to the Notes. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, payments of principal of and interest payable on the Maturity Date will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a designated account maintained in the United States upon (i) receipt of written notice by the Issuing and Paying Agent (as described on the reverse hereof) from the registered holder hereof not less than one Business Day prior to the due date of such

2

principal and (ii) presentation of this Note to the Issuing and Paying Agent, at The Bank of New York, 101 Barclay Street, New York, New York 10286. Any interest not punctually paid or duly provided for shall be payable as provided in such Indenture.⁶

net payment on such Note will not be less, due to payment of United States withholding tax, than the amount then otherwise due and payable. For this purpose, a “net payment” on the Note means a payment by the Corporation or any paying agent, including payment of principal and interest, after deduction for any present or future tax, assessment, or other governmental charge of the United States (other than a territory or possession).

(5) Additional amounts will not be payable if a payment on the Note is reduced as a result of any tax, assessment, or other governmental charge that is imposed or withheld solely by reason of the beneficial owner of the Note being a bank extending credit pursuant to a loan agreement entered into in the ordinary course of business.

(10) Additional amounts will not be payable if a payment on the Note is reduced as a result of any tax, assessment, or other governmental charge that is imposed or withheld by reason of the presentation by the beneficial owner of the Note for payment more than 30 days after the date on which such payment becomes due or is duly provided for, whichever occurs later.

(12) Additional amounts will not be payable if a payment on the Note is reduced as a result of any tax, assessment, or other governmental charge required to be withheld by any paying agent from a payment of principal or interest on the Note if such payment can be made without such withholding by any other paying agent.

SECTION 11. Authorized Denominations. The Notes are issuable only as registered Notes without coupons in the denominations of $             and any whole multiples of $            . As provided in the Indenture, and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the Notes are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Notes of different authorized denominations, as requested by the holder surrendering the same.

SECTION 12. Registration of Transfer.
