BANK OF AMERICA CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (herein called the “Issuer,” which term includes any successor corporation), for value received, hereby promises to pay to CEDE & CO., as nominee for The Depository Trust Company, or its registered assigns, the principal amount specified above and to pay interest thereon in accordance with the provisions set forth on the reverse hereof in Section 2(a), as such provisions may be modified or supplemented by the applicable terms and provisions set forth in the Pricing Supplement attached hereto (the “Pricing Supplement”), and (to the extent that the payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable) to pay interest at the Default Rate per annum, which is the interest rate specified in the Pricing Supplement, on any overdue principal and on any overdue installment of interest. “Maturity,” when used herein, means the date on which the principal of this Note or an installment of principal becomes due and payable in full in accordance with the terms of this Note and of the Indenture, whether at the Stated Maturity Date or by declaration of acceleration, call for redemption, prepayment at the holder’s option or otherwise.

The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will be paid to the person in whose name this Note (or one or more predecessor Notes evidencing all or a portion of the same debt as this Note) is registered, unless otherwise specified on the face hereof or in the Pricing Supplement (i) for book-entry only Notes denominated in U.S. dollars, at the close of business on the date that is one business day (in Charlotte, North Carolina and New York City) prior to such Interest Payment Date or (ii) for any Notes in definitive form, at the close of business on the fifteenth day of the calendar month in which such Interest Payment Date is scheduled to occur (each, referred to herein as the “Regular Record Date”); provided, however, that the first payment of interest on any Note with an Original Issue Date between a Regular Record Date and an Interest Payment Date or on an Interest Payment Date will be made on the Interest Payment Date following the next Regular Record Date to the person in whose name this Note is registered at the close of business on such next Regular Record Date; and provided, further, that interest payable at Maturity (the “Maturity Date”) will be payable to the person to whom the principal hereof shall be payable. The principal so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, at Maturity will be paid to the person in whose name this Note (or one or more predecessor Notes evidencing all or a portion of the same debt as this Note) is registered at the close of business on the Maturity Date. Any such interest or principal not punctually paid or duly provided for shall be payable as provided in this Note and in the Indenture.

Payment of principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on, this Note due at Maturity will be made in immediately available funds upon presentation and surrender of this Note at the office of the Trustee maintained for that purpose, and in accordance with the procedures of the depository or clearing system noted hereon; provided, that this Note is presented to the Trustee in time for the Trustee to make such payment in accordance with its normal procedures. Payments of interest on this Note (other than at Maturity) will be made by wire transfer to such account as has been appropriately designated to the Trustee by the person entitled to such payments.

The Issuer will pay any administrative costs imposed by any bank in making payments in immediately available funds, but any tax, assessment or governmental charge imposed upon payments hereunder, including, without limitation, any withholding tax, will be borne by the holder hereof.

Reference is made to the further provisions of this Note set forth on the reverse hereof and in the Pricing Supplement attached hereto, which shall have the same effect as though fully set forth at this place. In the event of any conflict between the provisions contained herein or on the reverse hereof and the applicable provisions contained in the Pricing Supplement attached hereto, the latter shall control. References herein to “this Note,” “hereof,” “herein” and comparable terms shall include the applicable provisions of the Pricing Supplement attached hereto.

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Trustee (or other authentication agent duly appointed in accordance with the Indenture), by manual signature of an authorized signatory, this Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

$6,000,000,000 2.10% Senior Notes, due April 2012

$2,350,000,000 Senior Three-Month LIBOR Notes, due April 2012

Guaranteed Under the FDIC’s Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program

This pricing supplement describes two series of our senior notes that will be issued under our Medium-Term Note Program, Series L. We refer to our 2.10% Senior Notes, due April 2012 as the “fixed rate notes,” and to our Senior Three-Month LIBOR Notes, due April 2012 as the “floating rate notes.”

Both series of notes mature on April 30, 2012. We will pay interest on the floating rate notes for each quarterly interest period at a floating rate equal to three-month LIBOR plus a spread of 0.30%. The notes are unsecured and rank equally with all of our other unsecured and senior indebtedness outstanding from time to time. We do not intend to list either series of the notes on any securities exchange.

This debt is guaranteed under the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation’s Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program and is backed by the full faith and credit of the United States. The details of the FDIC guarantee are provided in the FDIC’s regulations, 12 CFR Part 370, and at the FDIC’s website, www.fdic.gov/tlgp. The expiration date of the FDIC’s guarantee is the earlier of the maturity date of the debt or June 30, 2012.

Investing in the notes involves risks. For an explanation of some of these risks, see “Risk Factors” beginning on page S-4 of the attached prospectus supplement, and “Risk Factors” beginning on page 8 of the attached prospectus. The FDIC guarantee is subject to additional risks as described on page PS-6 under the caption “Supplemental Risk Factors.”

None of the Securities and Exchange Commission, any state securities commission, or any other regulatory body has approved or disapproved of these notes or passed upon the adequacy or accuracy of this pricing supplement, the attached prospectus supplement, or the attached prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

FDIC Guarantee

This section provides summary information regarding the guarantee of the notes by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”). The details of the FDIC’s guarantee are provided in the FDIC’s regulations, 12 CFR Part 370, and at the FDIC’s website, www.fdic.gov/TLGP. The regulations governing the guarantee and the terms and conditions of the guarantee are subject to change. These regulations, terms and conditions are subject to the interpretation of the FDIC, which also may change. The following information is based on the final regulations adopted effective November 21, 2008. The internet address provided for the FDIC’s website is included as an inactive textual reference only. The information on the FDIC’s website shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference in this pricing supplement.

Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program. On October 14, 2008, the FDIC created the Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program (the “program”), and the FDIC adopted final rules related to the program effective November 21, 2008. Under the program, the FDIC will guarantee the newly-issued senior unsecured debt of participating eligible entities, including insured depository institutions and eligible holding companies of insured depository institutions. We are an eligible entity under the program, and a participant under the program. As a participant, our senior unsecured debt may be guaranteed by the FDIC if it satisfies the program’s criteria. From time to time, we may issue debt securities that are not eligible for the FDIC guarantee and that will not be guaranteed. We will provide purchasers of our debt instruments with a written statement indicating if the debt instruments we are offering are FDIC-guaranteed under the program.

As a participant in the program, we are eligible to issue FDIC-guaranteed debt up to an issuance limit, provided we comply with the terms and conditions of the program, including payment of fees, delivery of notice to the FDIC of issuance of guaranteed debt, providing certain disclosures, and certification to the FDIC that such issuance is within our issuance limit. As required by the program, we have entered into a master agreement with the FDIC that governs certain aspects of the program. If we are not in compliance with the program, we would be unable to issue additional FDIC-guaranteed debt; however, the outstanding FDIC-guaranteed notes would not lose the benefit of the FDIC guarantee. The program guarantees eligible debt issued through June 30, 2009 that matures on or prior to June 30, 2012.

Guarantee. The notes are our senior unsecured debt obligations, are guaranteed by the FDIC under the program, and are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States. If we fail to pay interest or principal when due on either series of the notes, the FDIC will pay holders of those notes the unpaid, then due amount of interest or principal. An event of default under the senior indenture, including a payment default, will not entitle the holders of the notes or the senior trustee to accelerate the maturity of either series of the notes for so long as we or the FDIC are making timely payments of interest and principal.

Use of Proceeds. Under the program, we may not use the proceeds from the offering of the notes to prepay indebtedness that is not guaranteed by the FDIC.

Claims Process. We have appointed the senior trustee as the authorized representative to take action on behalf of holders of each series of the notes under the guarantee. The authorized representative has agreed to make a demand of the FDIC upon our failure to pay interest or principal on either series of the notes when due. As provided in the FDIC’s regulations, a holder will also have the option to elect not to be represented by the authorized representative. Upon our failure to pay interest or principal, the authorized representative and a holder that has elected not to be so represented must follow the FDIC’s required procedures for making a demand under the guarantee.

In addition to the procedures described below, the authorized representative will be required when making a demand, to the extent not previously provided in the master agreement, to provide the FDIC with information regarding its authority, including: its financial and organizational capacity to act as representative, its exclusive authority to act on behalf of each noteholder and its fiduciary responsibility to the noteholders when acting as such, as established by the senior indenture, and its authority to make the assignment of each noteholder’s right, title, and interest in the notes to the FDIC.

PS-4

Any demand under the guarantee must be accompanied by a proof of claim, satisfactory in form and content to the FDIC, which includes evidence of the occurrence of a payment default and the claimant’s ownership of the applicable notes. Upon the commencement of guarantee payments by the FDIC, the claimant must provide to the FDIC an assignment, satisfactory in form and content to the FDIC, of the noteholder’s right, title and interest in the notes to the FDIC and the transfer to the FDIC of any payments from us with respect to the notes. The assignment must also grant to the FDIC the right to receive any and all distributions on the note from the proceeds of any bankruptcy. If a holder receives a payment on a note from a bankruptcy, any obligation of the FDIC under the guarantee would be reduced proportionally. Demands must be made by the authorized representative or by a holder that elects not to be represented by the authorized representative within 60 days of the occurrence of the payment default.

Upon payment by the FDIC of any amount under the guarantee, the FDIC will be subrogated to the rights of the recipient noteholder against us, including in respect of any insolvency proceeding, to the extent of such payment.

Indenture Supplement. In addition to the appointment of the senior trustee as authorized representative for the holders of the notes, the master agreement requires additional provisions that are included in a supplement to the senior indenture that will govern each series of the notes, including:

•

the FDIC’s written consent will be required to amend or waive any provision in the senior indenture related to principal, interest, payment, default, or ranking;

•

the FDIC will be subrogated to all of the rights of the holders and the senior trustee as authorized representative, against us in respect of any amounts paid to or for the benefit of the holders by the FDIC under the guarantee;

•

authorization by the holders to the authorized representative to assign to the FDIC, at the time the FDIC commences making payments under the guarantee, the right to receive payments on behalf of the holders;

•

agreement by the holder that it will cause the notes to be surrendered to the FDIC upon the FDIC’s payment in full of the outstanding principal and accrued interest to the date of repayment;

•

we and the authorized representative will agree to provide the FDIC notice, within one business day, of any default in the payment of interest or principal, without regard to any applicable cure period; and

•

we agree to reimburse the FDIC for any guarantee payments made, with interest on any such amount owed at the stated rate for the applicable series of the notes, plus 1%, and to reimburse the FDIC for reasonable expenses, which agreement ranks pari passu with the notes.

U.S. Federal Income Taxes

For a brief description of the tax effects of an investment in the notes, see “U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations” on page S-12 of the attached prospectus supplement and page 61 of the attached prospectus.

PS-5

Supplemental Risk Factors

You should review carefully the information in this pricing supplement and the attached prospectus supplement and prospectus about the notes. For more information regarding risks that may materially affect our business and results, please refer to the information under the caption “Item 1A. Risk Factors,” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007, and the information under the caption “Item 1A. Risk Factors,” in our quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2008, which are incorporated by reference in this pricing supplement.

If we fail to make a payment of interest or principal on FDIC-guaranteed notes, your notes will be governed by the rules of the program.

If we fail to make a payment of interest or principal, you will be required to follow the regulations of the program, which supersede your rights under the senior indenture as described in the prospectus. We have appointed the senior trustee as authorized representative under a supplemental indenture for the notes. The authorized representative will be responsible, upon our failure to make a required payment of interest or principal, to make a demand of the FDIC under the guarantee. In addition, any holder may elect to not be so represented, as provided by the terms of the program. If a holder makes the decision to represent itself under the applicable regulations, it will be required to provide the proof of claim and other documentation, in form and content satisfactory to the FDIC, necessary to receive payment under the guarantee. If a demand is not made under the program by the authorized representative within 60 days of our failure to pay interest or principal, the obligations of the FDIC will terminate as to the applicable series of the notes and the holder will have no rights against the FDIC for the guaranteed amount.

Payments by the FDIC under its guarantee may be delayed.

There is no designated period within which the FDIC is required to make the guarantee payments after it receives the required written demand. As a result, if the FDIC is required to make such payments, they could be paid at a time that is significantly later than the date that the payment is otherwise due under the terms of the notes.

The determination of the FDIC on any matter related to the FDIC claims process will be final and binding on you and us, subject to judicial review.

The determination by the FDIC on any matter relating to the FDIC claims process will be a final administrative determination, which will be final and binding on all concerned, including the holders of the applicable series of the notes. Holders of the notes will have the right to challenge the FDIC’s determination only by commencing an action in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia or the United States District Court for the Western District of North Carolina within 60 days after the FDIC makes its determination.

The program is new and is subject to change.

The program is a new program, and was enacted under final rules that the FDIC adopted effective November 21, 2008. To date, no claims have been made or paid under the program, and the FDIC’s procedures under the program have not yet been fully documented. The rules governing the program may be amended, and are subject to evolving interpretation by the FDIC after the date of this pricing supplement. As a result, your ability to obtain payment on the notes under the FDIC’s guarantee is subject to rules, interpretations, procedures, and practices of the FDIC that could be changed at any time in the future. Any developments of this kind may be adverse to holders of the notes.

Our summary of the FDIC’s guarantee and the risks of purchasing the notes in reliance on that guarantee, as set forth in this pricing supplement, are based solely on the final rules adopted by the FDIC as of the date appearing on the front cover. Purchasers of the notes should refer to the FDIC’s website, www.fdic.gov/TLGP, for additional information about the program and related claim procedures.

The selling agents may sell each series of the notes to certain dealers at the applicable public offering price, less a concession which will not exceed 0.20% of their principal amount. The selling agents and those dealers may resell the notes to other dealers at a reallowance discount which will not exceed 0.15% of their principal amount.

After the initial offering of the notes, the concessions and reallowance discounts for either series of the notes may change.

We estimate that the total offering expenses for the notes, excluding the selling agents’ commissions, will be approximately $775,000. In addition, we will pay an assessment fee at an equivalent rate of 100 basis points per annum on the principal amount of the notes to the FDIC for the FDIC’s guarantee.
