(the “Notes”)

Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc., a Delaware corporation (hereinafter referred to as the “Company”, which term includes any successor corporation under the Indenture herein referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to CEDE & CO., or its registered assigns, the Redemption Amount (as defined below) per Unit on the Stated Maturity.

Payment or delivery 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 Stated Maturity

On the Stated Maturity, a Holder shall receive a cash payment per Unit equal to the Redemption Amount per Unit. The “Redemption Amount” with respect to each Unit shall be determined by the Calculation Agent and shall equal:

(i)      If the Ending Value (as defined below) is greater than the Starting Value:

provided, however, the Redemption Amount per Unit shall not exceed the Capped Value; or

(ii)     If the Ending Value is equal to or less than the Starting Value but is equal to or greater than the Threshold Value, the $10 principal amount per Unit; or

(iii)    If the Ending Value is less than the Threshold Value:

The “Ending Value” shall be determined by the Calculation Agent and shall equal the value of the Contract at the close of the market at 2:30 P.M., New York time, on the Valuation Date (as defined below), as published in the Wall Street Journal (absent manifest error).

The “Valuation Day” will be September 27, 2010. If a Market Disruption Event (as defined below) occurs on September 27, 2010 or that date is not a Business Day, the Valuation Date shall be the next scheduled Business Day. If a Market Disruption Event occurs or is continuing on the next scheduled Business Day, the Calculation Agent will determine the Ending Value in good faith using its reasonable judgment.

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