(the “Notes”)

The Multiplier for each Market Measure Component is shown below:

The Early Redemption Fee per Unit as of the indicated date is set forth in the table below:

If this Global Note is redeemed on a date that is not listed above, the Calculation Agent shall determine the applicable Early Redemption Fee per Unit by performing a straight-line interpolation between (i) the Early Redemption Fee for the Early Redemption Date listed in the table above immediately preceding the actual Early Redemption Date and (ii) the Early Redemption Fee for the Early Redemption Date listed in the table above immediately following the actual Early Redemption Date.

OTHER PROVISIONS:

7

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 or the Redemption Amount per Unit minus the applicable Early Redemption Fee per Unit on the Early Redemption Date (as defined below), as applicable.

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.

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 the Notes.

Payment on the Stated Maturity

Unless this Global Note has previously been redeemed by the Company, on the Stated Maturity, a Holder shall receive a cash payment equal to the Redemption Amount per Unit. The “Redemption Amount” per Unit with respect to this Global Note shall be determined by the Calculation Agent and shall equal:

The “Ending Value” shall be determined by the Calculation Agent and shall equal the average of the closing levels of the Market Measure on each of the Calculation Days during the Calculation Period. If there are fewer Calculation Days during the Calculation Period than scheduled, then the Ending Value shall equal the average of the closing levels of the Market Measure on those Calculation Days. If there is only one Calculation Day during the Calculation Period, then the Ending Value shall equal the closing level of the Market Measure on that Calculation Day. If no Calculation Days occur during the Calculation Period, then the Ending Value shall equal the closing level of the Market Measure determined (or, if not determinable, estimated by the Calculation Agent in a manner which it considers commercially reasonable under the circumstances) on the last scheduled Market Measure Business Day in the Calculation Period, regardless of the occurrence of a Market Disruption Event on that scheduled Market Measure Business Day.

For all purposes of this Global Note, the Calculation Agent shall calculate the closing level of the Market Measure by summing the products of the closing levels for each Market Measure Component on a Calculation Day and the Multiplier applicable to each Market Measure Component as set forth above. The Multipliers will remain fixed over the term of the Notes, except that the Calculation Agent may in its good faith judgment adjust the Multiplier of any Market Measure Component in the event such Market Measure Component is changed or

8

modified in a manner that does not, in the opinion of the Calculation Agent, fairly represent the level of such Market Measure Component had those material changes or modifications not been made.

Market Disruption Events

“Market Disruption Event” means either of the following events as determined by the Calculation Agent:

For the purpose of determining whether a Market Disruption Event has occurred:

9

Redemption Event

If on any date before the first scheduled Calculation Day of the Calculation Period the closing level of the Market Measure is equal to or less than the Early Redemption Value, this Global Note shall be redeemed by the Company on the fifth Business Day following such date (the “Early Redemption Date”). If this redemption event is triggered, on the Early Redemption Date, a Holder shall receive a cash payment per Unit of this Global Note equal to the Redemption Amount per Unit minus the applicable Early Redemption Fee per Unit; provided, however, for purposes of calculating the Redemption Amount to be paid on an Early Redemption Date, the Ending Value shall equal the average of the closing levels of the Market Measure on the two scheduled Market Measure Business Days immediately succeeding the date the closing level of the Market Measure was equal to or less than the Early Redemption Value; provided that if a Market Disruption Event occurs on the first such date and as a result there is only one day on which the closing level of the Market Measure is calculated, the Ending Value shall be determined on that second scheduled Market Measure Business Day, and if a Market Disruption Event occurs on both dates, the Ending Value shall be determined using the closing level of the Market Measure (or, if not determinable, estimated by the Calculation Agent in a manner which it considers commercially reasonable under the circumstances) on the second scheduled Market Measure Business Day following the date the closing level of the Market Measure was equal to or less than the Early Redemption Value, regardless of the occurrence of a Market Disruption Event on such scheduled Market Measure Business Day.

Adjustments to the Market Measure Components

If at any time a Market Measure Publisher makes a material change in the formula for or the method of calculating its respective Market Measure Component, or in any other way materially modifies its respective Market Measure Component so that such Market Measure Component does not, in the opinion of the Calculation Agent, fairly represent the level of such Market Measure Component had those changes or modifications not been made, then, from and after that time, the Calculation Agent shall, at the close of business in New York, New York, on each date that the closing level of the Market Measure is to be calculated, make those adjustments as, in the good faith judgment of the Calculation Agent, may be necessary in order to arrive at a calculation of a level of a stock index comparable to such Market Measure Component as if those changes or modifications had not been made, and calculate the closing level with reference to such Market Measure Component, as so adjusted.

Discontinuance of the Market Measure Components

If a Market Measure Publisher discontinues publication of its respective Market Measure Component and that Market Measure Publisher or another entity publishes a successor

10

or substitute index that the Calculation Agent determines, in its sole discretion, to be comparable to such Market Measure Component (a “Successor Market Measure”), then, upon the Calculation Agent’s notification of any determination to the Trustee (as defined below) and the Company, the Calculation Agent shall substitute the Successor Market Measure as calculated by the relevant Market Measure Publisher or any other entity for such Market Measure Component and calculate the closing value as described above under “Payment on the Stated Maturity” or “Redemption Event”, as applicable. Upon any selection by the Calculation Agent of a Successor Market Measure, the Company shall cause notice to be given to Holders of this Global Note.

In the event that a Market Measure Publisher discontinues publication of its respective Market Measure Component and:

the Calculation Agent shall compute a substitute level for such Market Measure Component in accordance with the procedures last used to calculate such Market Measure Component before any discontinuance. If a Successor Market Measure is selected or the Calculation Agent calculates a level as a substitute for such Market Measure Component, the Successor Market Measure or level shall be used as a substitute for such Market Measure Component for all purposes, including for purposes of determining whether a Market Disruption Event exists.

If a Market Measure Publisher discontinues publication of its respective Market Measure Component before the Calculation Period and the Calculation Agent determines that no Successor Market Measure is available at that time, then on each Market Measure Business Day until the earlier to occur of:

the Calculation Agent shall determine the value that would be used in computing the Redemption Amount as described in the preceding paragraph as if that day were a Calculation Day. The Calculation Agent shall cause notice of each value to be published not less often than once each month in The Wall Street Journal or another newspaper of general circulation, and arrange for information with respect to these values to be made available by telephone.

General

All percentages resulting from any calculation on the Notes shall be rounded to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point, with five one-millionths of a percentage point rounded upwards. For example, 9.876545% (or .09876545) would be rounded to 9.87655%

11

(or .0987655). All dollar amounts used in or resulting from any calculation shall be rounded to the nearest cent with one-half cent being rounded upward.

The Notes are issued and to be issued under an indenture dated as of April 1, 1983, as amended and restated (the “Indenture”), between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon (herein called the “Trustee”, which term includes any successor Trustee under the Indenture), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes and the terms upon which the Notes are to be authenticated and delivered.

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 the Denominations specified above. 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.

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.

In case an Event of Default with respect to this Global Note has occurred and is continuing, the amount payable to a Holder of this Global Note upon any acceleration permitted by the Notes, with respect to each Unit of this Global Note, shall be equal to the Redemption Amount per Unit, calculated as though the date of acceleration were the Stated Maturity.

In case of default in payment of this Global Note, whether on the Stated Maturity, the Early Redemption Date or upon acceleration, from and after such date this Global Note shall bear interest, payable upon demand of the Holders thereof, at the Default Rate, to the extent that payment of such 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 therefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Global Note.
