|
■
|
Your return on the securities is limited to the return represented by the contingent quarterly coupons, if any, over the term of the securities.
|

The securities are subject to early redemption, which would limit your ability to receive the contingent quarterly coupons over the full term of the securities
|
■
|
You may not receive any contingent quarterly coupons.
|
■
|
Your return on the securities may be less than the yield on a conventional debt security of comparable maturity.

|
■
|
We cannot assure you that a trading market for your securities will ever develop or be maintained.
|
■
|
Trading and hedging activities by us, the guarantor and any of our other affiliates, including BofAS, may create conflicts of interest with you and may affect your return on the securities and their market value.
