Bank of America Corporation Index EAGLES^®

Index EAGLES^® provide you with an opportunity to participate in the potential appreciation of one or more securities or securities indices (the “Underlying Equity”) through a supplemental return. In addition, the Index EAGLES^® are fully principal protected if held until maturity. At maturity, you will receive the principal amount of the Index EAGLES^® and any “Supplemental Redemption Amount,” as described below. The Supplemental Redemption Amount will be based primarily upon the performance of the Underlying Equity over the term of the Index EAGLES^®.

Index EAGLES^® are our senior debt securities. However, Index EAGLES^® differ from traditional debt securities in that you will not receive interest payments, you may receive a minimum return at maturity, and they contain a derivative component.

The Supplemental Redemption Amount will be based primarily upon the performance of the Underlying Equity during the term of the Index EAGLES^®. The applicable pricing supplement may provide that the Supplemental Redemption Amount will not be less than a specified percentage of the principal amount of the Index EAGLES^® at maturity (the “Minimum Supplemental Redemption Amount”). We also may issue Index EAGLES^® that do not have a Minimum Supplemental Redemption Amount.

If you hold the Index EAGLES^® until maturity, you will receive, at a minimum, your principal amount and any Supplemental Redemption Amount. However, if you sell the Index EAGLES^® prior to maturity, you may find that the market value of the Index EAGLES^® is less than their principal amount.

Index EAGLES^® are issued in minimum denominations of $1,000, and whole multiples of $1,000.

Index EAGLES^® may be listed on a stock exchange, such as the American Stock Exchange. However, whether or not they are listed, there may be little or no secondary market for Index EAGLES^®.

We expect that one or more of our broker-dealer subsidiaries, including Banc of America Securities LLC and Banc of America Investment Services, Inc., will act as our selling agent in connection with each offering of Index EAGLES^®.

The Underlying Equity

At maturity, the Supplemental Redemption Amount will be determined by reference to the appreciation of the Underlying Equity during the term of the Index EAGLES^®.

The Underlying Equity may consist of:

The applicable pricing supplement will set forth the specific Underlying Equity for the Index EAGLES^® and provide information as to the historical levels of the Underlying Equity. However, historical levels of the Underlying Equity are not indicative of the future performance of the Underlying Equity or the performance of the Index EAGLES^®.

The Underlying Equity may consist of a single index or a single stock. Alternatively, the Underlying Equity may consist of a group, or “basket,” of indices, stocks or other types described above. If the Underlying Equity consists of a basket, the applicable pricing supplement also will set forth, among other information about the basket, the applicable weighting of each component of the basket, and information as to the calculation of the “Basket Level.”

If we issue any Index EAGLES^® in which the Underlying Equity consists of one or more common shares, each issuer of such shares (a “Stock Issuer”) will be a company that is subject to the information requirements of the Exchange Act, and that files reports and other information with the SEC. Each Stock Issuer will have a class of common equity securities registered under the Exchange Act. However, if the Stock Issuer is not a United States company, the return on the Index EAGLES^® may depend on the performance of an equity security that is not listed or traded in the United States. This may occur, for example, if the Stock Issuer is traded in the United States, but the common equity securities of the Stock Issuer are traded on one or more foreign stock exchanges.

The Underlying Equity (cont.)

Please note that, for ease of reference, certain defined terms in the following sections, such as “Index Return”, contemplate Index EAGLES^® in which the Underlying Equity consists of a single securities index. If the Underlying Equity were to consist of, for example, a basket of stocks, these defined terms would be adjusted accordingly in the applicable pricing supplement to terms such as “Basket Return.”

Payment at Maturity

At maturity, you will receive the principal amount of the Index EAGLES^® and any Supplemental Redemption Amount. The Supplemental Redemption Amount will be based primarily upon the performance of the Underlying Equity during the term of the Index EAGLES^®. If specified in the applicable pricing supplement, the Supplemental Redemption Amount will not be less than the Minimum Supplemental Redemption Amount.

The calculation agent for the Index EAGLES^® will determine the Supplemental Redemption Amount, if any, by multiplying the Index Return (as defined below), by the principal amount of the Index EAGLES^® you hold at maturity. The Index Return will be calculated by reference to the Periodic Returns (as defined below) of the Underlying Equity during the “Reference Periods” specified in the applicable pricing supplement. Each Reference Period will be a three-month period. The first Reference Period will commence on the pricing date of your Index EAGLES^®, and the final Reference Period will end shortly before the maturity date. For example, in the case of a series of Index EAGLES^® with a term of four years, there will be 16 Reference Periods.

We refer to the last day of each Reference Period as a “Reset Date.” On each Reset Date, the calculation agent will determine the “Periodic Return” of the Underlying Equity for the Reference Period then ended by applying the following formula:

(Ending Level - Starting Level)

Starting Level

The result will be rounded to the nearest ten-thousandth of a decimal place and then expressed as a percentage.

The “Starting Level” for the initial Reference Period will be the closing level of the Underlying Equity on the pricing date, and the “Starting Level” for each subsequent Reference Period is the Ending Level for the immediately preceding Reference Period. The “Ending Level” for each Reference Period is the closing level of the Underlying Equity on the applicable Reset Date, or if that day is not a business day, the closing level of the Underlying Equity on the next following business day.

Except for the payment at maturity of the principal amount and any applicable Minimum Supplemental Redemption Amount, you will be exposed to unlimited declines in the Periodic Return for any Reference Period. On the pricing date, we will set a cap, or the “Return Cap,” which will limit any increases in the Periodic Return of the Underlying Equity to that rate. For any Reference Period in which the Periodic Return is greater than the Return Cap, the Periodic Return for that Reference Period will be deemed to be the Return Cap, and for that Reference Period you will receive only the benefit of the increase in value up to the Return Cap.

Payment at Maturity (cont.)

The Index Return

After the close of the market on the last Reset Date, the calculation agent will determine the Supplemental Redemption Amount, which, if applicable, will not be less than the Minimum Supplemental Redemption Amount, based on the following formula:

Principal Amount x Index Return

The “Index Return” is the compounded value of each of the Periodic Returns computed in the following manner:

[The product of (1.00 + the Periodic Return) for each Reference Period] - 1.00

The Index Return will be rounded to the nearest ten-thousandth and then expressed as a percentage.

The Supplemental Redemption Amount will be calculated after the close of the market on the last Reset Date. The period of time between the last Reset Date and the maturity date is not part of a Reference Period, and, therefore, changes in the Underlying Equity during that period will not affect the Supplemental Redemption Amount payable to you at maturity. If the Index EAGLES^® are subject to a Minimum Supplemental Redemption Amount, and the calculation of the Supplemental Redemption Amount results in an amount that is less than the Minimum Supplemental Redemption Amount, then we will pay you a Supplemental Redemption Amount equal to the Minimum Supplemental Redemption Amount.

The Index EAGLES^® provide less opportunity for appreciation than an investment tied directly to the performance of the Underlying Equity because the Return Cap limits the appreciation in the Underlying Equity used to calculate the Periodic Return. Because of the Return Cap, the Index Return cannot be more than a percentage that will be specified in the applicable pricing supplement that represents an increase of the Underlying Equity up to the Return Cap for each Reference Period. For example, in the case of a series of Index EAGLES^® with a Return Cap of 7.00% and a maturity of four years from the date of issuance, the Index Return cannot exceed 195.22%.

You should consider the possibility that an investment in the Index EAGLES^® will not result in you receiving an amount at maturity in excess of the principal amount of your notes, plus any applicable Minimum Supplemental Redemption Amount, even if the level of the Underlying Equity increases during one or more Reference Periods, or even if the level of the Underlying Equity as of the final scheduled Reset Date is greater than the level of the Underlying Equity on the pricing date.

Examples of Payment at Maturity

The Index Return depends on the closing level of the Underlying Equity as of each Reset Date. Because the closing level of the Underlying Equity may be subject to significant variations over the term of the Index EAGLES^®, it is not possible to present a chart or table illustrating a complete range of possible payments on the maturity date. The examples of hypothetical payment calculations that follow are intended to illustrate the effect of general trends in the level of the Underlying Equity on any Supplemental Redemption Amount payable at maturity for each $1,000 principal amount of the Index EAGLES^®. Each of the hypothetical examples is based upon:

In each example set forth below, for any Reference Period where the indicated Periodic Return is in excess of 7.00% (the hypothetical Return Cap), the Periodic Return for that Reference Period used in the calculation of the Index Return shall be 7.00%. The Underlying Equity levels illustrated in each example have been rounded to the nearest whole number. The pretax annualized rates of return in each example assume that the Index EAGLES^® were purchased in the original public offering and are calculated on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months, with annual compounding.

Examples of Payment at Maturity (cont.)

Example 1: In this example, for the Reference Periods where the Periodic Returns are in excess of 7.00%, the Periodic Returns for those Reference Periods used in the calculation of the Index Return shall be the hypothetical Return Cap of 7.00%. The closing level of the Underlying Equity as of the final scheduled Reset Date is greater than its closing level as of the pricing date and the appreciation of the Underlying Equity, or the Periodic Return, is 9.00% (an amount greater than the hypothetical Return Cap) during each Reference Period throughout the term of the Index EAGLES^®:

Index Return = [(1.00+0.07) x (1.00+0.07) x (1.00+0.07) x (1.00+0.07) x

(1.00+0.07) x (1.00+0.07) x (1.00+0.07) x (1.00+0.07) x (1.00+0.07) x

(1.00+0.07) x (1.00+0.07) x (1.00+0.07) x (1.00+0.07) x (1.00+0.07) x

(1.00+0.07) x (1.00+0.07)] minus 1.00 = 1.9522 or 195.22%

Supplemental Redemption Amount = $1,000.00 x 1.9522 = $1,952.20

Total payment at maturity = $1,000.00 + $1,952.20 = $2,952.20 per note

Pretax annualized rate of return: 31.08%

Example 2: The closing level of the Underlying Equity as of the final scheduled Reset Date is less than the closing level of the Underlying Equity as of the pricing date, and the Periodic Return declined throughout the term of the Index EAGLES^®:

Index Return = [(1.00+ -0.02) x (1.00+ -0.02) x (1.00+ -0.02) x (1.00+ -0.02) x

(1.00+ -0.02) x (1.00+ -0.02) x (1.00+ -0.02) x (1.00+ -0.02) x (1.00+ -0.02) x

(1.00+ -0.02) x (1.00+ -0.02) x (1.00+ -0.02) x (1.00+ -0.02) x (1.00+ -0.02) x

(1.00+ -0.02) x (1.00+ -0.02)] minus 1.00 = -0.2762 or -27.62%

Supplemental Redemption Amount = $40.00, the Minimum Supplemental Redemption Amount

Total payment at maturity = $1,000.00 + $40.00 = $1,040.00 per note

Pretax annualized rate of return: 0.99%

Example 3: In this example, for the Reference Periods where the Periodic Returns are in excess of 7.00%, the Periodic Returns for those Reference Periods used in the calculation of the Index Return shall be the hypothetical Return Cap of 7.00%. The closing level of the Underlying Equity as of the final scheduled Reset Date is greater than the closing level of the Underlying Equity as of the pricing date, and the Periodic Return fluctuated during the term of the notes, increasing in three-fourths of the Reference Periods and decreasing in the other one-fourth, with a wide variance in the magnitude of the increase:

Index Return = [(1.00+0.03) x (1.00+0.03) x (1.00+ -0.20) x (1.00+0.07) x

(1.00+0.03) x (1.00+0.03) x (1.00+ - -0.20) x (1.00+0.07) x (1.00+0.03) x

(1.00+0.03) x (1.00+ -0.20) x (1.00+0.07) x (1.00+0.03) x (1.00+0.03) x

(1.00+ -0.20) x (1.00+0.07)] minus 1.00 = -0.3199 or -31.99%

Supplemental Redemption Amount = $40.00, the Minimum Supplemental Redemption Amount

Total payment at maturity = $1,000.00 + $40.00 = $1,040.00 per note

Pretax annualized rate of return: 0.99%

Summary of Certain United States Federal Income Tax Consequences

The following is a general summary of certain United States federal income tax consequences of the Index EAGLES^® to certain United States Holders that acquire the Index EAGLES^® upon their original issuance at the issue price (as defined below). This summary does not deal with persons in special tax situations. You should refer to the applicable pricing supplement, which will contain a more detailed United States federal income tax summary. The tax consequences of investing in the Index EAGLES^® are complex and you should consult your own tax advisor concerning the application of the United States federal income tax laws to your particular situation as well as any consequences of the acquisition, ownership and disposition of the Index EAGLES^® arising under the laws of any state, local or foreign jurisdiction.

The amount payable on the Index EAGLES^® at maturity will depend on the market price of the Underlying Equity. Accordingly, although the matter is not free from doubt, Index EAGLES^® with a maturity of more than one year should be treated as “contingent payment debt instruments” for United States federal income tax purposes subject to taxation under the “noncontingent bond method.” As a result, the Index EAGLES^® generally will be subject to the original issue discount (“OID”) provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and the Treasury regulations issued under the Code. Under applicable Treasury regulations, a United States Holder will be required to report OID or interest income based on a “comparable yield” and a “projected payment schedule,” as described below, established by us for determining interest accruals and adjustments with respect to the Index EAGLES^®. A United States Holder which does not use the “comparable yield” and follow the “projected payment schedule” to calculate its OID and interest income on the Index EAGLES^® must timely disclose and justify the use of other estimates to the IRS.

A “comparable yield” with respect to a contingent payment debt instrument generally is the yield at which we could issue a fixed-rate debt instrument with terms similar to those of the contingent payment debt instrument (taking into account for this purpose the level of subordination, term, timing of payments, and general market conditions, but ignoring any adjustments for liquidity or the riskiness of the contingencies with respect to the debt instrument). Notwithstanding the foregoing, a comparable yield must not be less than the applicable United States federal rate based on the overall maturity of the debt instrument. A “projected payment schedule” with respect to a contingent payment debt instrument generally is a series of expected payments, the amount and timing of which would produce a yield to maturity on that debt instrument equal to the comparable yield. This amount is not calculated or provided for any purpose other than the determination of a United States Holder’s interest accruals and adjustments with respect to the Index EAGLES^® for United States federal income tax purposes. We make no representation regarding the actual amounts of payment on the Index EAGLES^®, except with respect to the principal amount and any applicable Minimum Supplemental Redemption Amount.

Summary of Certain United States Federal Income Tax Consequences (cont.)

Based on the comparable yield and the projected payment schedule of the Index EAGLES^®, a United States Holder of the Index EAGLES^® (regardless of accounting method) generally will be required to accrue as OID the sum of the daily portions of interest on the Index EAGLES^® for each day in the taxable year on which the holder held the Index EAGLES^®, adjusted upward or downward to reflect the difference, if any, between the actual and projected amount of any contingent payments on the Index EAGLES^®, as set forth below. The daily portions of interest for the Index EAGLES^® are determined by allocating to each day in an accrual period the ratable portion of interest on the Index EAGLES^® that accrues in the accrual period. The amount of interest on the Index EAGLES^® that accrues in an accrual period is the product of the comparable yield on the Index EAGLES^® (adjusted to reflect the length of the accrual period) and the adjusted issue price of the Index EAGLES^® at the beginning of the accrual period. The adjusted issue price of the Index EAGLES^® at the beginning of the first accrual period will equal its issue price and for any subsequent accrual period will be (1) the sum of the issue price of the Index EAGLES^® and any interest previously accrued on the Index EAGLES^® by a holder (disregarding any positive or negative adjustments) minus (2) the amount of any projected payments on the Index EAGLES^® for previous accrual periods. The issue price of each note in an issue of the Index EAGLES^® is the first price at which a substantial amount of those Index EAGLES^® has been sold (including any premium paid for those Index EAGLES^® and ignoring sales to bond houses, brokers, or similar persons or organizations acting in the capacity of underwriters, placement agents, or wholesalers). Because of the application of the OID rules, a United States Holder of the Index EAGLES^® will be required to include in income OID in excess of actual cash payments received for certain taxable years.

A United States Holder will be required to recognize interest income equal to the amount of any positive adjustment (i.e., the excess of actual payments over the projected contingent payments) for the Index EAGLES^® for the taxable year in which a contingent payment is paid. A negative adjustment (i.e., the excess of projected contingent payments over actual payments) for the Index EAGLES^® for the taxable year in which a contingent payment is paid (1) will first reduce the amount of interest for the Index EAGLES^® that a United States Holder would otherwise be required to include in income in the taxable year and (2) to the extent of any excess, will give rise to an ordinary loss equal to that portion of the excess as does not exceed the excess of (A) the amount of all previous interest inclusions under the Index EAGLES^® over (B) the total amount of the United States Holder’s net negative adjustments treated as ordinary loss on the Index EAGLES^® in prior taxable years. A net negative adjustment is not subject to the 2% floor limitation imposed on miscellaneous deductions under Section 67 of the Code. Any negative adjustment in excess of the amounts described above in (1) and (2) will be carried forward to offset future interest income for the Index EAGLES^® or to reduce the amount realized on a sale, exchange, or retirement of the Index EAGLES^®. Where a United States Holder purchases the Index EAGLES^® at a price other than its issue price, the difference between the purchase price and the issue price generally will be treated as a positive or negative adjustment, as the case may be, and allocated to the daily portions of interest or projected payments for the Index EAGLES^®.

Summary of Certain United States Federal Income Tax Consequences (cont.)

If you purchase the Index EAGLES^® in a transaction after the initial issuance of the Index EAGLES^®, you should consult your tax advisors for additional guidance in making these adjustments.

We expect that the applicable pricing supplement will provide a hypothetical tax accrual table and projected payment schedule with information for each $1,000 principal amount of Index EAGLES^® for each applicable accrual period through maturity, based on market conditions and actual market interest rates as of the date of the applicable pricing supplement.

A United States Holder generally will treat any gain on sale or exchange of the Index EAGLES^® as ordinary interest income. The pricing supplement will set forth additional information about the United States federal income tax consequences of the Index EAGLES^®, including a discussion of the tax consequences of payments on the Index EAGLES^® and a sale, exchange or retirement of the Index EAGLES^®, possible alternative tax treatments of the Index EAGLES^®, backup withholding and information reporting considerations, and, if applicable, certain tax consequences applicable to Index EAGLES^® with a maturity date of not more than one year from the date of issue.
