ORIGINAL ISSUE DATE:

January 25, 2007

MERRILL LYNCH & CO., INC., a Delaware corporation (hereinafter referred to as the “Company,” which term includes any successor corporation under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to CEDE & CO., or registered assigns, the Redemption Amount (as defined below) on April 27, 2009 (the “Stated Maturity”) in accordance with the terms below, in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for public and private debts.

Payment of the Redemption Amount and any interest on any overdue amount thereof with respect to this Global Note shall be made at the office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, 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.

Payment on the Maturity Date

At the Stated Maturity, a Holder shall receive a cash payment per Unit equal to the Redemption Amount, as provided below.

The “Redemption Amount” per Unit with respect to this Global Note shall be denominated and payable in United States dollars, shall be determined by the Calculation Agent and shall equal:

(i)    If the Ending Value is greater than 108% of the Starting Value (the “Appreciation Barrier”), $10 per Unit, multiplied by a percentage equal to:

(ii)    If the Ending Value is equal to or less than the Appreciation Barrier, a payment of $10.80 per Unit (the “Minimum Redemption Amount”).

The “Starting Value” is 100.

The “Ending Value” shall equal the value of the Basket as determined by the Calculation Agent on the Valuation Date, using the Exchange Rates on that date, as described below.

The “Valuation Date” shall be the seventh scheduled Business Day before the Stated Maturity of the Notes.

A “Business Day” means any day other than a Saturday or Sunday that is neither a legal holiday nor a day on which banking institutions in The City of New York are authorized or required by law, regulation or executive order to close and those banks are open for dealing in a foreign exchange and foreign currency deposits.

All determinations made by the Calculation Agent, absent a determination of a manifest error, shall be conclusive for all purposes and binding on the Company and the Holders and beneficial owners of this Global Note.

The value of the “Basket” equal the result of (i) the Multiplier for each Basket Component multiplied by the Exchange Rate for such Basket Component, (ii) the resulting products summed and (iii) the total added to 100. The Multipliers are as set forth below:

For purposes of determining the Ending Value, the Exchange Rates shall be:

(i)    for the Brazilian real, the currency exchange rate in the interbank market quoted as

2

the number of United States dollars for which one Brazilian real can be exchanged as reported by Reuters Group PLC (“Reuters”) on page BRFR , or any substitute page thereto, at approximately 8 p.m. in Sao Paulo Brazil;

(ii) for the Russian ruble, the currency exchange rate in the interbank market quoted as the number of United States dollars for which one Russian ruble can be exchanged as reported by Reuters on page RUBMCMEEMTA=, or any substitute page thereto, between 12:00 noon and 12:30 p.m., in Moscow, Russia;

(iii) for the Indian rupee, the currency exchange rate in the interbank market quoted as the number of United States dollars for which one Indian rupee can be exchanged as reported by Reuters on page RBIB, or any substitute page thereto, at approximately 2:30 p.m. in Mumbai, India; and

(iv) for the Chinese renminbi (yuan), the currency exchange rate in the interbank market quoted as the number of United States dollars for which one Chinese renminbi (yuan) can be exchanged as reported by Reuters on page SAEC, or any substitute page thereto, at approximately 9:30 a.m., in Beijing, China.

If the currency exchange rates are not so quoted on Reuters page BRFR, Reuters page RUBMCMEEMTA=, Reuters page RBIB or Reuters page SAEC (as applicable), or any substitute page thereto, then the Exchange Rates used to determine the Ending Value shall equal the noon buying rate in New York for cable transfers in foreign currencies as announced by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York for customs purposes (the “Noon Buying Rate”). If the Noon Buying Rate is not announced on that date, then the Exchange Rates shall be calculated on the basis of the arithmetic mean of the applicable spot quotations received by the Calculation Agent at approximately 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the relevant date for the purchase or sale for deposits in the relevant currencies by the London offices of three leading banks engaged in the interbank market (selected in the sole discretion of the Calculation Agent) (the “Reference Banks”). If fewer than three Reference Banks provide spot quotations, then the Exchange Rates shall be calculated on the basis of the arithmetic mean of the applicable spot quotations received by the Calculation Agent at approximately 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the relevant date from two leading commercial banks in New York (selected in the sole discretion of the Calculation Agent), for the purchase or sale for deposits in the relevant currencies. If these spot quotations are available from only one bank, then the Calculation Agent, in its sole discretion, shall determine which quotation is available and reasonable to be used. If no spot quotation is available, then the Exchange Rates shall be the rate the Calculation Agent, in its sole discretion, determines to be fair and reasonable under the circumstances at approximately 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the relevant date.

As used herein, the “Calculation Agent” is Merrill Lynch Capital Services, Inc. All determinations made by the Calculation Agent, absent a determination of a manifest error, shall be conclusive for all purposes and binding on the Company and the Holders and beneficial owners of this Global Note.

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by or on behalf of the Trustee with respect to the Notes under the Indenture, or its successor thereunder, by the manual signature of one of its authorized officers, this Global Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

The Notes are issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of $10 principal amount (each a Unit) and integral multiples thereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, this Global Note is exchangeable for certificates representing Notes of like tenor and of an equal Principal Amount as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. If (x) the Depository is at any time unwilling or unable to continue as depository and a successor depository is not appointed by the Company within 60 days, (y) the Company executes and delivers to the Trustee a Company Order to the effect that this Global Note shall be exchangeable or (z) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to this Global Note, this Global Note shall be exchangeable for certificates representing the Notes in definitive form of like tenor and of an equal Principal Amount, in authorized denominations. Such definitive Notes shall be registered in such name or names as the Depository shall instruct the Trustee. If definitive Notes are so delivered, the Company may make such changes to the form of this Global Note as are necessary or appropriate to allow for the issuance of such definitive Notes.

This Note is not subject to any sinking fund.

the extent that such payment of interest shall be legally enforceable on the unpaid amount due and payable on such date in accordance with the terms of this Global Note to the date payment of such amount has been made or duly provided for.

Holders of specified percentages in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of each series at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of each series, are permitted to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Global Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Global Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Global Note.
