Summary

The Currency Market Index Target-Term Securities^® Linked to a Basket of Asian Currencies, due September     , 2014 (the “notes”) are our senior unsecured debt securities. The notes are not guaranteed or insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or secured by collateral. The notes will rank equally with all of our other unsecured and unsubordinated debt, and any payments due on the notes, including any repayment of principal, will be subject to the credit risk of BAC.

The Exchange Rate Measure to which the notes are linked is a Basket of Asian Currencies, which tracks the value of an equally weighted investment in the Indian rupee, the Indonesian rupiah, the Malaysian ringgit, and the Philippine peso (each, an “underlying currency”), based on the exchange rate for each underlying currency relative to the U.S. dollar.

The notes provide investors with a [145% to 165%] participation rate in increases in the value of the Exchange Rate Measure from the Starting Value to the Ending Value. Investors should be of the view that the value of the Exchange Rate Measure will increase (that is, the underlying currencies will strengthen relative to the U.S. dollar) over the term of the notes. Investors must be willing to forgo interest payments on the notes and be willing to accept a repayment at maturity that is up to 10% less than the Original Offering Price.

Capitalized terms used but not defined in this term sheet have the meanings set forth in product supplement MITTS-5. Unless otherwise indicated or unless the context requires otherwise, all references in this document to “we,” “us,” “our,” or similar references are to BAC.

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-13 of product supplement MITTS-5, page S-5 of the MTN prospectus supplement, and page 8 of the prospectus identified below under “Additional Terms.” We also urge you to consult your investment, legal, tax, accounting, and other advisors before you invest in the notes.

Investor Considerations

Currency Market Index Target-Term Securities® Linked to a Basket of Asian Currencies, due March     , 2014

Supplement to the Plan of Distribution; Role of MLPF&S and Conflicts of Interest

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, 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 FINRA 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 MITTS” beginning on page S-13 and “Use of Proceeds” on page S-28 of product supplement MITTS-5.

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 transactions; however, it is not obligated to engage in any such transactions.

The Basket of Asian Currencies

The notes are designed to allow investors to participate in the movements of the Exchange Rate Measure over the term of the notes. The Exchange Rate Measure is designed to track the value of an equally weighted investment in the Indian rupee, the Indonesian rupiah, the Malaysian ringgit, and the Philippine peso, based on the exchange rate of each underlying currency relative to the U.S. dollar.

The notes provide upside participation at maturity if the value of the Exchange Rate Measure increases (that is, the underlying currencies strengthen relative to the U.S. dollar) over the term of the notes.

The exchange rate for each underlying currency is expressed as the number of units of the applicable underlying currency for which one U.S. dollar can be exchanged. Accordingly, an increase in the applicable exchange rate means that the value of the relevant underlying currency has weakened against the U.S. dollar, and a decrease in the applicable exchange rate means that the value of the relevant underlying currency has strengthened against the U.S. dollar.

If investing in the notes, investors should be of the view that the value of the Exchange Rate Measure will increase over the term of the notes (that is, the underlying currencies will strengthen relative to the U.S. dollar from the Initial Exchange Rate, determined on the pricing date, to the Final Exchange Rate, determined on a calculation day shortly before the maturity date).

For each underlying currency, the Initial Exchange Rate and the Final Exchange Rate (which will be rounded to four decimal places) will be determined as follows:

If the following events occur (each, a “Non-Publication Event”):

then the calculation agent will determine the Initial Exchange Rate or the Final Exchange Rate for that underlying currency, as applicable, on the next applicable business day on which the exchange rate is so quoted. However, in no event will the determination of the exchange rate for any underlying currency be postponed to a date (the “final determination date”) that is later than the close of business in New York, New York on the second scheduled business day following the pricing date (for purposes of determining the Initial Exchange Rate) or the close of business in New York, New York on the second scheduled business day prior to the maturity date (for purposes of determining the Final Exchange Rate).

If, following a Non-Publication Event and postponement as described above, the exchange rate for any underlying currency remains not quoted on the final determination date, the Initial Exchange Rate or the Final Exchange Rate, as applicable, for that currency will nevertheless be determined on the final determination date. The calculation agent, in its sole discretion, will determine the Initial Exchange Rate or the Final Exchange Rate for that underlying currency on the applicable final determination date (and, in the case of the Final Exchange Rate, the applicable Weighted Return and the Ending Value) in a manner which the calculation agent considers commercially reasonable under the circumstances. In making its determination, the calculation agent may take into account spot quotations for the applicable underlying currency and any other information that it deems relevant.

The final term sheet will set forth the Initial Exchange Rate for each underlying currency and a brief statement of the facts relating to the determination of the Initial Exchange Rate for any underlying currency affected by a Non-Publication Event on the pricing date, if any. The Initial Exchange Rates and the Final Exchange Rates for all underlying currencies that are not affected by a Non-Publication Event will be determined on the pricing date or the scheduled calculation day, as applicable.

The Starting Value will be set to 100 on the pricing date.

The Ending Value will equal the value of the Exchange Rate Measure on the calculation day.

Currency Market Index Target-Term Securities® Linked to a Basket of Asian Currencies, due March     , 2014

The value of the Exchange Rate Measure on the calculation day will equal: 100 + 100 x (the sum of the Weighted Return for each exchange rate), rounded to two decimal places.

The Weighted Return for each exchange rate will be determined by the calculation agent as follows:

The formulas above will result in the Weighted Return for an exchange rate being positive when the underlying currency strengthens relative to the U.S. dollar and being negative when that underlying currency weakens relative to the U.S. dollar. Assuming the exchange rates for the other underlying currencies remain the same, any strengthening of an underlying currency relative to the U.S. dollar will result in an increase in the Ending Value while any weakening of an underlying currency relative to the U.S. dollar will result in a decrease in the Ending Value.

The strengthening of an underlying currency relative to the U.S. dollar will result in a decrease in the applicable exchange rate, while the weakening of an underlying currency relative to the U.S. dollar will result in an increase in the applicable exchange rate.

The “Exchange Rate Weighting” with respect to each exchange rate will equal 25%, reflecting an equal weighting for each underlying currency in the Exchange Rate Measure.

The “Initial Exchange Rate” for each underlying currency will be determined on the pricing date, subject to postponement as described above.

The “Final Exchange Rate” for each underlying currency will be determined on the calculation day, subject to postponement as described above.

Currency Market Index Target-Term Securities® Linked to a Basket of Asian Currencies, due March     , 2014

Hypothetical Calculations of the Weighted Returns and the Ending Value

Set forth below are two examples of hypothetical Weighted Return and hypothetical Ending Value calculations (rounded to two decimal places) based on hypothetical Initial Exchange Rates (based upon each underlying currency as reported on Bloomberg L.P. on August 22, 2012) and assuming hypothetical Final Exchange Rates for each exchange rate as follows.

Example 1:

The hypothetical Weighted Return for each exchange rate is determined as follows:

The hypothetical Ending Value would be 105.94, determined as follows:

100 + 100 x (sum of the Weighted Return for each exchange rate), rounded to two decimal places

100 + 100 x (0.51 + 4.41 + 0.51 + 0.51)%

100 + 100 x (5.94%) = 105.94

Example 2:

The hypothetical Weighted Return for each exchange rate is determined as follows:

The hypothetical Ending Value would be 94.16, determined as follows:

100 + 100 x (sum of the Weighted Return for each exchange rate), rounded to two decimal places

100 + 100 x (-1.19 – 2.27 – 1.19 – 1.19)%

100 + 100 x (-5.84%) = 94.16

Historical Data on the Exchange Rates

The following tables set forth the high and low daily exchange rates for each underlying currency from the first quarter of 2007 through August 22, 2012. These exchange rates were obtained from publicly available information on Bloomberg, L.P. These exchange rates should not be taken as an indication of the future performance of any of the underlying currencies or the Exchange Rate Measure, or as an indication of whether, or to what extent, the Ending Value will be greater than the Starting Value.

As described above, the exchange rate for each underlying currency is expressed as the number of units of the applicable underlying currency for which one U.S. dollar can be exchanged. As a result, the “High” values represent the weakest that currency was relative to the U.S. dollar for the given quarter, while the “Low” values represent the strongest that currency was relative to the U.S. dollar for the given quarter.

Indian Rupee

The following table sets forth the high and low daily exchange rates for the Indian rupee for the calendar quarters from the first quarter of 2007 through August 22, 2012. On August 22, 2012, the exchange rate for the Indian rupee was 55.2550 Indian rupees per U.S. dollar, as reported by Bloomberg L.P. The Initial Exchange Rate for the Indian rupee will be determined by the calculation agent on the pricing date.

Indonesian rupiah

The following table sets forth the high and low daily exchange rates for the Indonesian rupiah for the calendar quarters from the first quarter of 2007 through August 22, 2012. On August 22, 2012, the exchange rate for the Indonesian rupiah was 9,494 Indonesian rupiah per U.S. dollar, as reported by Bloomberg L.P. The Initial Exchange Rate for the Indonesian rupiah will be determined by the calculation agent on the pricing date.

Malaysian ringgit

The following table sets forth the high and low daily exchange rates for the Malaysian ringgit for the calendar quarters from the first quarter of 2007 through August 22, 2012. On August 22, 2012, the exchange rate for the Malaysian ringgit was 3.0990 Malaysian ringgit per U.S. dollar, as reported by Bloomberg L.P. The Initial Exchange Rate for the Malaysian ringgit will be determined by the calculation agent on the pricing date.

Philippine peso

The following table sets forth the high and low daily exchange rates for the Philippine peso for the calendar quarters from the first quarter of 2007 through August 22, 2012. On August 22, 2012, the exchange rate for the Philippine peso was 42.0650 Philippine pesos per U.S. dollar, as reported by Bloomberg L.P. The Initial Exchange Rate for the Philippine peso will be determined by the calculation agent on the pricing date.

Currency Market Index Target-Term Securities® Linked to a Basket of Asian Currencies, due March     , 2014

While historical information on the Exchange Rate Measure will not exist before the pricing date, the following graph sets forth hypothetical monthly historical values of the Exchange Rate Measure from January 1, 2007 through July 31, 2012 based upon historical exchange rates for the underlying currencies as of the end of each month. For purposes of this graph, the value of the Exchange Rate Measure was set to 100 as of December 31, 2006 and the value of the Exchange Rate Measure as of the end of each month is based upon the Ending Value as of the end of that month, calculated as described in the section “The Basket of Asian Currencies” above. This historical data on the exchange rates as reported by Bloomberg is not necessarily indicative of the future performance of the underlying currencies or the Exchange Rate Measure or what the value of the notes may be. Any historical upward or downward trend in the value of the Exchange Rate Measure during any period set forth below is not an indication that the Ending Value will be greater than the Starting Value.

Summary Tax Consequences

You should consider the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the notes, including the following:

Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations

Set forth below is a summary of the material U.S. federal income tax considerations relating to an investment in the notes. The following summary is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by the discussion under the section entitled “U.S. Federal Income Tax Summary” beginning on page S-56 of product supplement MITTS-5, which you should carefully review prior to investing in the notes. Capitalized terms used and not defined herein have the meanings ascribed to them in product supplement MITTS-5.

General. There are no statutory provisions, regulations, published rulings, or judicial decisions addressing the characterization, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, of the notes or other instruments with terms substantially the same as the notes. However, although the matter is not free from doubt, under current law, each note should be treated as a debt instrument for U.S. federal income tax purposes. We currently intend to treat the notes as debt instruments for U.S. federal income tax purposes and, where required, intend to file information returns with the IRS in accordance with such treatment, in the absence of any change or clarification in the law, by regulation or otherwise, requiring a different characterization of the notes. You should be aware, however, that the IRS is not bound by our characterization of the notes as indebtedness and the IRS could possibly take a different position as to the proper characterization of the notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes. If the notes are not in fact treated as debt instruments for U.S. federal income tax purposes, then the U.S. federal income tax treatment of the purchase, ownership, and disposition of the notes could differ materially from the treatment discussed below, with the result that the timing and character of income, gain, or loss recognized in respect of a note could differ materially from the timing and character of income, gain, or loss recognized in respect of a note had the notes in fact been treated as debt instruments for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, prospective purchasers are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding the tax consequences of investing in the notes. The following summary assumes that the notes will be treated as debt instruments of BAC for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Interest Accruals. The amount payable on the notes at maturity will depend on the performance of the Exchange Rate Measure. We intend to take the position that the “denomination currency” (as defined in the applicable Treasury regulations) of the notes is the U.S. dollar and, accordingly, we intend to take the position that the notes will be treated as “contingent payment debt instruments” for U.S. federal income tax purposes, subject to taxation under the “noncontingent bond method,” and the balance of this discussion assumes that this characterization is proper and will be respected. Under this characterization, the notes generally will be subject to the Treasury regulations governing contingent payment debt instruments. Under those regulations, a U.S. Holder will be required to report OID or interest income based on a “comparable yield” and a “projected payment schedule,” established by us for determining interest accruals and adjustments with respect to the notes. A U.S. Holder who does not use the “comparable yield” and follow the “projected payment schedule” to calculate its OID and interest income on a note must timely disclose and justify the use of other estimates to the IRS.

Sale, Exchange, or Retirement of the Notes. Upon a sale, exchange, or retirement of a note prior to maturity, a U.S. Holder generally will recognize taxable gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized on the sale, exchange, or retirement and the holder’s tax basis in the notes. A U.S. Holder’s tax basis in a note generally will equal the cost of that note, increased by the amount of OID previously accrued by the holder for that note (without regard to any positive or negative adjustments under the contingent payment debt regulations). A U.S. Holder generally will treat any gain as interest income, and will treat any loss as ordinary loss to the extent of the excess of previous interest inclusions over the total negative adjustments previously taken into account as ordinary losses, and the balance as long-term or short-term capital loss depending upon the U.S. Holder’s holding period for the notes. At maturity, (i) if the actual Redemption Amount exceeds the projected Redemption Amount, a U.S. Holder must include such excess as interest income, or (ii) if the projected Redemption Amount exceeds the actual Redemption Amount, a U.S. Holder will generally treat such excess first as an offset to previously accrued OID for the taxable year, then as an ordinary loss to the extent of all prior OID inclusions, and thereafter as a capital loss. The deductibility of capital losses by a U.S. Holder is subject to limitations.

Currency Market Index Target-Term Securities® Linked to a Basket of Asian Currencies, due March     , 2014

Hypothetical Tax Accrual Table. The following table is based upon a hypothetical projected payment schedule (including a hypothetical Redemption Amount) and a hypothetical comparable yield equal to 1.8239% per annum (compounded semi-annually), which is our current estimate of the comparable yield, based upon market conditions as of the date of this term sheet as determined by us for purposes of illustrating the application of the Code and the Treasury regulations to the notes as if the notes had been issued on October 4, 2012 and were scheduled to mature on September 26, 2014. This tax accrual table is based upon a hypothetical projected payment schedule per $10.00 principal amount of the notes, which would consist of a single payment of $10.3656 at maturity. The following table is for illustrative purposes only, and we make no representations or predictions as to what the actual Redemption Amount will be. The actual “projected payment schedule” will be completed on the pricing date, and included in the final term sheet.

Hypothetical Projected Redemption Amount = $10.3656 per unit of the notes.

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-56 of product supplement MITTS-5.

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 product supplement, the prospectus supplement, and the prospectus in that registration statement, and the other documents relating to this offering 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.

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 Market Downside Protection Market-Linked Investment or guarantee any performance.

Market Downside Protection Market-Linked Investments combine some of the capital preservation features of traditional bonds with the growth potential of equities and other asset classes. They offer full or partial market downside protection at maturity, while offering market exposure that may provide better returns than comparable fixed income securities. It is important to note that the market downside protection feature provides investors with protection only at maturity, subject to issuer credit risk. In addition, in exchange for full or partial protection, you forfeit dividends and full exposure to the linked asset’s upside. In some circumstances, this could result in a lower return than with a direct investment in the asset.
