Hypothetical Payments at Maturity
The following table and examples are for purposes of illustration only. They are based on hypothetical values and show hypothetical returns on the notes. The actual amount you receive and the resulting total rate of return will depend on the actual Ending Value, Capped Value, and the term of your investment.
The following table is based on the Starting Value of 100.00, the Threshold Value of 84.00, a Participation Rate of 120.00% and a Capped Value of $12.00 per unit. It illustrates the effect of a range of Ending Values on the Redemption Amount per unit of the notes and the total rate of return to holders of notes. The following examples do not take into account any tax consequences from investing in the notes.

In addition, all payments on the notes are subject to issuer credit risk.
Redemption Amount Calculation Examples
Example 1
The Ending Value is 70, or 70% of the Starting Value:
Starting Value: | 100 | |||
Ending Value: | 70 | |||
Threshold Value: | 84 |
$10 |
[ | $10 × | ( | 70 84 | ) | ] | = $8.60 | Redemption Amount per unit | ||||||||||
100 |
Example 2
The Ending Value is 95, or 95% of the Starting Value:
Starting Value: | 100 | |||
Ending Value: | 95 | |||
Threshold Value: | 84 |
Redemption Amount (per unit) = $10.00, the Original Offering Price, since the Ending Value is less than the Starting Value but equal to or greater than the Threshold Value.
Example 3
The Ending Value is 104, or 104% of the Starting Value:
Starting Value: | 100 | |||
Ending Value: | 104 |
$10 + |
[ | $10 × 120% × | ( | 104 100 | ) | ] | = $10.48 Redemption Amount per unit | |||||||||||
100 |
Example 4
The Ending Value is 140, or 140% of the Starting Value:
Starting Value: | 100 | |||
Ending Value: | 140 |
$10 + |
[ | $10 × 120% × | ( | 140 100 | ) | ] | = $14.80, however, because the Redemption Amount for the notes cannot exceed the Capped Value, the Redemption Amount will be $12.00 per unit | |||||||||||

Risk Factors
There are important differences between the notes and a conventional debt security. An investment in the notes involves significant risks, including those listed below. You should carefully review the more detailed explanation of risks relating to the notes in the Risk Factors sections beginning on page S-8 of product supplement STOCK LIRN-2, page S-5 of the MTN prospectus supplement, and page 8 of the prospectus identified above under Summary. We also urge you to consult your investment, legal, tax, accounting, and other advisors before you invest in the notes.
§ | Depending on the performance of the Basket as measured shortly before the maturity date, your investment may result in a loss; there is no guaranteed return of principal. |
§ | Your yield may be less than the yield you could earn by owning a conventional debt security of comparable maturity. |
§ | Payments on the notes are subject to our credit risk, and actual or perceived changes in our creditworthiness are expected to affect the value of the notes. If we become insolvent or are unable to pay our obligations, you may lose your entire investment. |
§ | Your investment return, if any, is limited to the return represented by the Capped Value and may be less than a comparable investment directly in the Basket Components. |
§ | If you attempt to sell the notes prior to maturity, their market value may be lower than the price you paid for the notes due to, among other things, the inclusion of fees charged for developing, hedging and distributing the notes, as described on page TS-19 and various credit, market and economic factors that interrelate in complex and unpredictable ways. |
§ | A trading market is not expected to develop for the notes. MLPF&S is not obligated to make a market for, or to repurchase, the notes. |
§ | Changes in the prices of the Basket Components may offset each other. |
§ | Our business activities as a full service financial institution, including our commercial and investment banking activities, our hedging and trading activities (including trades in shares of the Basket Components) and any hedging and trading activities we engage in for our clients accounts, may affect the market value of the notes and their return and may create conflicts of interest with you. |
§ | You will have no rights of a holder of the Basket Components, and you will not be entitled to receive shares of the Basket Components or dividends or other distributions by the issuers of the Basket Components. |
§ | While we or our affiliates may from time to time own shares of the Basket Components, we do not control any company included in the Basket, and are not responsible for any disclosure made by any other company. |
§ | The Redemption Amount will not be adjusted for all corporate events that could affect a Basket Component. See Description of LIRNs Anti-Dilution Adjustments beginning on page S-23 of product supplement STOCK LIRN-2. |
§ | There may be potential conflicts of interest involving the calculation agent. We have the right to appoint and remove the calculation agent. |
§ | The U.S. federal income tax consequences of the notes are uncertain, and may be adverse to a holder of the notes. See Summary Tax Consequences below and U.S. Federal Income Tax Summary beginning on page S-34 of product supplement STOCK LIRN-2. |

(1) | The actual closing price of each Basket Component and the resulting actual Component Ratios will be determined on the pricing date, subject to adjustment as more fully described below. The actual closing price and Component Ratio of each Basket Component will be set forth in the final term sheet that will be made available in connection with sales of the notes. |
(2) | These were the closing prices of the Basket Components on June 12, 2012. |
(3) | Each hypothetical Component Ratio equals the Initial Component Weight of the relevant Basket Component (as a percentage) multiplied by 100, and then divided by the closing price of that Basket Component on June 12, 2012 and rounded to eight decimal places. |
The calculation agent will calculate the value of the Basket on each calculation day during the Maturity Valuation Period by summing the products of the closing price for each Basket Component (multiplied by its Price Multiplier) on that calculation day and the Component Ratio applicable to that Basket Component. If a Market Disruption Event occurs as to any Basket Component on a scheduled calculation day, the closing price of that Basket Component will be determined as more fully described beginning on page S-29 of product supplement STOCK LIRN-2 in the section Description of LIRNs Basket Market Measures Computation of the Basket.
If a Market Disruption Event occurs on the pricing date as to any Basket Component, the calculation agent will establish the closing price of that Basket Component on the pricing date (the Basket Component Closing Value), and thus its Component Ratio, based on the closing price of that Basket Component on the first trading day following the pricing date on which no Market Disruption Event occurs with respect to that Basket Component. If a Market Disruption Event occurs with respect to that Basket Component on the pricing date and on each day to and including the second scheduled trading day following the pricing date, the calculation agent (not later than the close of business in New York, New York on the second scheduled trading day following the pricing date) will estimate the Basket Component Closing Value, and thus the applicable Component Ratio, in a manner that the calculation agent considers commercially reasonable under the circumstances. The final term sheet will set forth the Basket Component Closing Value, a brief statement of the facts relating to the establishment of the Basket Component Closing Value (including the applicable Market Disruption Event(s)), and the applicable Component Ratio.

Supplement to the Plan of Distribution
We may deliver the notes against payment therefor in New York, New York on a date that is greater than three business days following the pricing date. Under Rule 15c6-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in three business days, unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, if the initial settlement of the notes occurs more than three business days from the pricing date, purchasers who wish to trade the notes more than three business days prior to the original issue date will be required to specify alternative settlement arrangements to prevent a failed settlement.
The notes will not be listed on any securities exchange. In the original offering of the notes, the notes will be sold in minimum investment amounts of 100 units.
MLPF&S will not receive an underwriting discount for notes sold to certain fee-based trusts and fee-based discretionary accounts managed by U.S. Trust operating through Bank of America, N.A.
If you place an order to purchase the notes, you are consenting to MLPF&S acting as a principal in effecting the transaction for your account.
MLPF&S may repurchase and resell the notes, with repurchases and resales being made at prices related to then-prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices. MLPF&S may act as principal or agent in these market-making transactions; however it is not obligated to engage in any such transactions.
Role of MLPF&S and Conflicts of Interest
MLPF&S, a broker-dealer subsidiary of BAC, is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (FINRA) and will participate as selling agent in the distribution of the notes. Accordingly, offerings of the notes will conform to the requirements of Rule 5121 applicable to FINRA members. MLPF&S may not make sales in this offering to any of its discretionary accounts without the prior written approval of the account holder.
Under our distribution agreement with MLPF&S, MLPF&S will purchase the notes from us as principal at the public offering price indicated on the cover of this term sheet, less the indicated underwriting discount. The public offering price includes, in addition to the underwriting discount, a charge of approximately $0.075 per unit, reflecting an estimated profit earned by MLPF&S from transactions through which the notes are structured and resulting obligations hedged. Actual profits or losses from these hedging transactions may be more or less than this amount. In entering into the hedging arrangements for the notes, we seek competitive terms and may enter into hedging transactions with MLPF&S or another of our affiliates.
All charges related to the notes, including the underwriting discount and the hedging related costs and charges, reduce the economic terms of the notes. For further information regarding these charges, our trading and hedging activities and conflicts of interest, see Risk Factors General Risks Relating to LIRNs beginning on page S-8 and Use of Proceeds on page S-17 of product supplement STOCK LIRN-2.

Summary Tax Consequences
You should consider the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the notes, including the following:
| There is no statutory, judicial, or administrative authority directly addressing the characterization of the notes. |
| You agree with us (in the absence of an administrative determination, or judicial ruling to the contrary) to characterize and treat the notes for all tax purposes as a single financial contract with respect to the Market Measure. |
| Under this characterization and tax treatment of the notes, a U.S. Holder (as defined beginning on page 62 of the prospectus) generally will recognize capital gain or loss upon maturity or upon a sale or exchange of the notes prior to maturity. This capital gain or loss generally will be long-term capital gain or loss if you held the notes for more than one year. |
| No assurance can be given that the IRS or any court will agree with this characterization and tax treatment. |
You should consult your own tax advisor concerning the U.S. federal income tax consequences to you of acquiring, owning, and disposing of the notes, as well as any tax consequences arising under the laws of any state, local, foreign, or other tax jurisdiction and the possible effects of changes in U.S. federal or other tax laws. You should review carefully the discussion under the section entitled U.S. Federal Income Tax Summary beginning on page S-34 of product supplement STOCK LIRN-2.
Where You Can Find More Information
We have filed a registration statement (including a product supplement, a prospectus supplement, and a prospectus) with the SEC for the offering to which this term sheet relates. Before you invest, you should read the Note Prospectus, including this term sheet, and the other documents that we have filed with the SEC, for more complete information about us and this offering. You may get these documents without cost by visiting EDGAR on the SEC website at www.sec.gov. Alternatively, we, any agent, or any dealer participating in this offering will arrange to send you these documents if you so request by calling MLPF&S toll-free at 1-866-500-5408.
Market-Linked Investments Classification
MLPF&S classifies certain market-linked investments (the Market-Linked Investments) into categories, each with different investment characteristics. The following description is meant solely for informational purposes and is not intended to represent any particular Enhanced Return Market-Linked Investment or guarantee any performance.
Enhanced Return Market-Linked Investments are short- to medium-term investments that offer you a way to enhance exposure to a particular market view without taking on a similarly enhanced level of market downside risk. They can be especially effective in a flat to moderately positive market (or, in the case of bearish investments, a flat to moderately negative market). In exchange for the potential to receive better-than market returns on the linked asset, you must generally accept market downside risk and capped upside potential. As these investments are not market downside protected, and do not assure full repayment of principal at maturity, you need to be prepared for the possibility that you may lose all or part of your investment.
