Summary

The Capped Leveraged Index Return Notes^® Linked to the Silver Spot Price, due March 4, 2013 (the “LIRNs”) are our senior unsecured debt securities. The LIRNs are not guaranteed or insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or secured by collateral. The LIRNs will rank equally with all of our other unsecured and unsubordinated debt, and any payments due on the LIRNs, including any repayment of principal, will be subject to the credit risk of BAC. The LIRNs provide a leveraged return for investors, subject to a cap, if the Silver Spot Price (as defined below) increases moderately from the Starting Value, determined on the pricing date, to the Ending Value, determined on a calculation day shortly before the maturity date. Investors must be willing to forgo interest payments on the LIRNs and be willing to accept a return that is capped or a repayment that is less, and potentially significantly less, than the Original Offering Price.

Capitalized terms used but not defined in this term sheet have the meanings set forth in product supplement LIRN-2. Unless otherwise indicated or unless the context requires otherwise, all references in this document to “we,” “us,” “our,” or similar references are to BAC.

Determining the Redemption Amount for the LIRNs

On the maturity date, you will receive a cash payment per unit (the “Redemption Amount”) calculated as follows:

  Capped Leveraged Index Return Notes^®   TS-2

Hypothetical Payout Profile

This graph reflects the hypothetical returns on the LIRNs at maturity, based upon the Participation Rate of 200%, the Threshold Value equal to 90% of the Starting Value, and the Capped Value of $14.24 (a 42.40% return). The green line reflects the hypothetical returns on the LIRNs, while the dotted gray line reflects the hypothetical returns of a direct investment in silver, as measured by the Silver Spot Price.   This graph has been prepared for purposes of illustration only. Your actual return will depend on the actual Ending Value and the term of your investment.

Hypothetical Redemption Amounts

Examples

Set forth below are four examples of hypothetical Redemption Amount calculations (rounded to two decimal places) payable at maturity, based upon the Participation Rate of 200%, the Downside Leverage Factor of 100%, the Starting Value 3,328.00, the Threshold Value of 2,995.20, and the Capped Value of $14.24 per unit.

Example 1 — The hypothetical Ending Value is 70% of the Starting Value and is less than the Threshold Value:

Starting Value:	3,328.00
Hypothetical Ending Value:	2,329.60
Threshold Value:	2,995.20

$10 –	[	$10 ×	(	2,995.20 –  2,329.60	)	× 100%	]	= $8.00
				3,328.00

Hypothetical Redemption Amount (per unit) = $8.00

Example 2 — The hypothetical Ending Value is 95% of the Starting Value and is greater than the Threshold Value:

Starting Value:	3,328.00
Hypothetical Ending Value:	3,161.60
Threshold Value:	2,995.20

Hypothetical Redemption Amount (per unit) = $10.00

If the Ending Value is less than or equal to the Starting Value but is greater than or equal to the Threshold Value, the Redemption Amount will equal the Original Offering Price.

Example 3 — The hypothetical Ending Value is 104% of the Starting Value:

Starting Value:	3,328.00
Hypothetical Ending Value:	3,461.12

$10 +	[	$10 × 200% ×	(	3,461.12 –  3,328.00	)	]	= $10.80
				3,328.00

Hypothetical Redemption Amount (per unit) = $10.80

Example 4 — The hypothetical Ending Value is 150% of the Starting Value:

Starting Value:	3,328.00
Hypothetical Ending Value:	4,992.00

$10 +	[	$10 × 200% ×	(	4,992.00 –  3,328.00	)	]	= $20.00
				3,328.00

Hypothetical Redemption Amount (per unit) = $14.24 (The Redemption Amount cannot be greater than the Capped Value.)

The following table illustrates, for the Starting Value of 3,328.00, the Threshold Value of 90% of the Starting Value (rounded to two decimal places), and a range of hypothetical Ending Values:

§ the percentage change from the Starting Value to the hypothetical Ending Value;

§ the hypothetical Redemption Amount per unit of the LIRNs (rounded to two decimal places); and

§ the hypothetical total rate of return to holders of the LIRNs.

The table below is based on the Participation Rate of 200%, the Downside Leverage Factor of 100%, and the Capped Value of $14.24.

4,659.20	40.00%	$14.24	42.40%
4,992.00	50.00%	$14.24	42.40%

(1) This is the Threshold Value.

(2) This is the Starting Value.

(3) The Redemption Amount per unit of the LIRNs cannot exceed the Capped Value of $14.24.

The above figures are for purposes of illustration only. The actual amount you receive and the resulting total rate of return will depend on the actual Ending Value and the term of your investment.

Risk Factors

There are important differences between the LIRNs and a conventional debt security. An investment in the LIRNs involves significant risks, including those listed below. You should carefully review the more detailed explanation of risks relating to the LIRNs in the “Risk Factors” sections beginning on page S-10 of product supplement LIRN-2 and page S-4 of the MTN prospectus supplement identified below under “Additional Terms.” We also urge you to consult your investment, legal, tax, accounting, and other advisors before you invest in the LIRNs.

§ Your investment may result in a loss; there is no guaranteed return of principal.

§ Your yield may be less than the yield on a conventional debt security of comparable maturity.

§ Your investment return, if any, is limited to the return represented by the Capped Value.

§ Your investment return, if any, may be less than a comparable investment directly in silver.

§ You must rely on your own evaluation of the merits of an investment linked to the Silver Spot Price.

§ In seeking to provide you with what we believe to be commercially reasonable terms for the LIRNs while providing MLPF&S with compensation for its services, we have considered the costs of developing, hedging, and distributing the LIRNs.

§ A trading market is not expected to develop for the LIRNs. MLPF&S is not obligated to make a market for, or to repurchase, the LIRNs.

§ The Redemption Amount will not be affected by all developments relating to the Silver Spot Price.

§ Ownership of the LIRNs will not entitle you to any rights with respect to silver or any related futures contracts.

§ If you attempt to sell the LIRNs prior to maturity, their market value, if any, will be affected by various factors that interrelate in complex ways, and their market value may be less than the Original Offering Price.

§ Payments on the LIRNs are subject to our credit risk, and changes in our credit ratings are expected to affect the value of the LIRNs.

§ The Silver Spot Price may change unpredictably, affecting the value of the LIRNs in unforeseeable ways.

§ Suspensions or disruptions of market trading in silver and related futures markets may adversely affect the value of the LIRNs.

§ The LIRNs will not be regulated by the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission.

§ Trading in silver and related futures and options by us and our affiliates may affect your return.

§ Our trading and hedging activities may create conflicts of interest with you.

§ Our hedging activities may affect your return on the LIRNs and their market value.

§ 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 LIRNs are uncertain and may be adverse to a holder of the LIRNs. See “Summary Tax Consequences” and “Certain U.S. Federal Income Taxation Considerations” below and “U.S. Federal Income Tax Summary” beginning on page S-35 of product supplement LIRN-2.

Additional Risk Factors

There are risks associated with investing in silver or silver-linked LIRNs.

The Silver Spot Price is derived from a principals’ market which operates as an over-the-counter (“OTC”) physical commodity market. Certain features of U.S. futures markets are not present in the context of trading on such principals’ markets. For example, there are no daily price limits, which would otherwise restrict the extent of daily fluctuations in the prices of the commodities in such markets. In a declining market, therefore, it is possible that prices would continue to decline without limitation within a trading day or over a period of trading days.

Silver prices are subject to volatile price movements over short periods of time and are affected by numerous factors. These include economic factors, including the structure of and confidence in the global monetary system, expectations of the future rate of inflation, the relative strength of, and confidence in, the U.S. dollar (the currency in which the price of silver is generally quoted), interest rates, and global or regional economic, financial, political, regulatory, judicial, or other events. Silver prices may also be affected by industry factors such as industrial and jewelry demand, sales and purchases of silver by the official sector, including central banks and other governmental agencies and multilateral institutions which hold silver, levels of silver production and production costs in countries where silver is mined, such as Mexico and Peru, and short-term changes in supply and demand because of trading activities in the silver market. It is not possible to predict the aggregate effect of all or any combination of these factors.

The market value of the LIRNs may be affected by price movements in distant-delivery futures contracts associated with the Silver Spot Price.

The price movements in the Silver Spot Price may not be reflected in the market value of the LIRNs. If you are able to sell your LIRNs, the price you receive could be affected by changes in the values of futures contracts for silver which have more distant delivery dates than the Silver Spot Price. The prices for these distant-delivery futures contracts may not increase to the same extent as the Silver Spot Price, or may decrease to a greater extent, which may adversely affect the value of the LIRNs.

Changes in the methodology used to calculate the Silver Spot Price or changes in laws or regulations may affect the value of the LIRNs.

Members of the London Bullion Market Association (the “LBMA”) set the Silver Spot Price and may adjust the determination of the Silver Spot Price in a way that adversely affects the value of the LIRNs. In setting the Silver Spot Price, these members have no obligation to consider your interests. The LBMA may from time to time change any rule or bylaw or take emergency action under its rules, any of which could affect the Silver Spot Price. Any change of this kind could cause a decrease in the Silver Spot Price, which would adversely affect the value of the LIRNs.

In addition, the price of silver could be adversely affected by the promulgation of new laws or regulations or by the reinterpretation of existing laws or regulations (including, without limitation, those relating to taxes and duties on commodities or commodity components) by one or more governments, governmental agencies or instrumentalities, courts, or other official bodies. Any event of this kind could adversely affect the Silver Spot Price and, as a result, could adversely affect the value of the LIRNs.

Other Terms of the LIRNs

The provisions of this section supersede and replace the definition of “Market Disruption Event” set forth beginning on page S-28 of product supplement LIRN-2.

Market Disruption Event

A “Market Disruption Event” means any of the following events, as determined in good faith by the calculation agent:

(A) the suspension of or material limitation on trading in silver, or futures contracts or options related to silver, on the Relevant Market (as defined below);

(B) the failure of trading to commence, or permanent discontinuance of trading, in silver, or futures contracts or options related to silver, on the Relevant Market;

(C) the failure of the LBMA (as defined above) to calculate or publish the official fixing price of silver for that day (or the information necessary for determining the official fixing price); or

(D) any other event, if the calculation agent determines in its sole discretion that the event materially interferes with our ability or the ability of any of our affiliates to unwind all or a material portion of a hedge that we or our affiliates have effected or may effect as to the LIRNs.

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

(A) a limitation on the hours in a trading day and/or number of days of trading will not constitute a Market Disruption Event if it results from an announced change in the regular trading hours of the Relevant Market; and

(B) a suspension of or material limitation on trading in the Relevant Market will not include any time when trading is not conducted or prices are not quoted by the LBMA in the Relevant Market under ordinary circumstances.

Relevant Market

“Relevant Market” means the market in London on which members of the LBMA, or any successor thereto, quote prices for the buying and selling of silver, or if such market is no longer the principal trading market for silver or options or futures contracts for silver, such other exchange or principal trading market for silver as determined in good faith by the calculation agent which serves as the source of prices for silver, and any principal exchanges where options or futures contracts on silver are traded.

Investor Considerations

You may wish to consider an investment in the LIRNs if:

§ You anticipate that the Silver Spot Price will increase moderately from the Starting Value to the Ending Value.

§ You accept that your investment will result in a loss, which could be significant, if the Silver Spot Price decreases from the Starting Value to an Ending Value that is less than the Threshold Value.

§ You accept that the return on the LIRNs will not exceed the return represented by the Capped Value.

§ You are willing to forgo interest payments on the LIRNs, such as fixed or floating rate interest paid on traditional interest bearing debt securities.

§ You seek exposure to the Silver Spot Price with no expectation of the benefits of owning silver or any related futures contract.

§ You are willing to accept that a trading market is not expected to develop for the LIRNs. You understand that secondary market prices for the LIRNs, if any, will be affected by various factors, including our actual and perceived creditworthiness.

§ You are willing to make an investment, the payments on which depend on our creditworthiness, as the issuer of the LIRNs.

The LIRNs may not be an appropriate investment for you if:

§ You anticipate that the Silver Spot Price will decrease from the Starting Value to the Ending Value or that the Silver Spot Price will not increase sufficiently over the term of the LIRNs to provide you with your desired return.

§ You seek 100% principal protection or preservation of capital.

§ You seek a return on your investment that will not be capped at 42.40% over the Original Offering Price.

§ You seek interest payments or other current income on your investment.

§ You seek an investment that provides you with the benefits of owning silver or any related futures contracts.

§ You seek assurances that there will be a liquid market if and when you want to sell the LIRNs prior to maturity.

§ You are unwilling or are unable to assume the credit risk associated with us, as the issuer of the LIRNs.

  Capped Leveraged Index Return Notes^®   TS-6

Other Provisions

We will deliver the LIRNs 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, purchasers who wish to trade the LIRNs more than three business days prior to the original issue date will be required to specify alternative settlement arrangements to prevent a failed settlement.

If you place an order to purchase the LIRNs, you are consenting to MLPF&S acting as a principal in effecting the transaction for your account.

Supplement to the Plan of Distribution

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 LIRNs. Accordingly, offerings of the LIRNs will conform to the requirements of FINRA Rule 5121. Under our distribution agreement with MLPF&S, MLPF&S will purchase the LIRNs from us on the issue date as principal at the purchase price indicated on the cover of this term sheet, less the indicated underwriting discount. In the original offering of the LIRNs, the LIRNs will be sold in minimum investment amounts of 100 units.

MLPF&S may use this Note Prospectus for offers and sales in secondary market transactions and market-making transactions in the LIRNs but is not obligated to engage in such secondary market transactions and/or market-making transactions. MLPF&S may act as principal or agent in these transactions, and any such sales will be made at prices related to prevailing market prices at the time of the sale.

  Capped Leveraged Index Return Notes^®   TS-7

The Silver Spot Price

The Silver Spot Price is a benchmark price used in the markets where silver is sold. The Silver Spot Price is published by Bloomberg, L.P. (“Bloomberg”) under the symbol SLVRLN <Index>. The Silver Spot Price is the official silver U.S. cents fixing per troy ounce of silver determined by three market-making members of the LBMA. The three current members meet by telephone each London business day at 12:00 P.M. London time to determine the Silver Spot Price. Currently, the three members are The Bank of Nova Scotia — ScotiaMocatta, Deutsche Bank AG, London branch, and HSBC Bank USA, N.A., London branch.

The London bullion market is an OTC market, as opposed to an exchange-traded environment. Members of the London bullion market typically trade with each other and with their clients on a principal-to-principal basis. All risks, including those of credit, are between the two parties to a transaction.

An investment in the LIRNs does not entitle you to any ownership interest, either directly or indirectly, in silver or in any silver transaction traded on the London bullion market.

The LIRNs are not sponsored, endorsed, sold, or promoted by the LBMA. The LBMA takes no responsibility for the accuracy and/or the completeness of information provided in this term sheet, the LIRN-2 product supplement, the MTN prospectus supplement, or the prospectus. In addition, the LBMA is not responsible for and has not participated in the determination of the timing of the sale of the LIRNs, prices at which the LIRNs are to initially be sold, or the quantities of the LIRNs to be issued or in the determination or calculation of the Redemption Amount. The LBMA has no obligation in connection with the administration, marketing, or trading of the LIRNs.

The following graph sets forth the monthly historical performance of the Silver Spot Price in the period from January 2006 through January 2011. This historical data on the Silver Spot Price is not necessarily indicative of the future performance of the Silver Spot Price or what the value of the LIRNs may be. Any historical upward or downward trend in the Silver Spot Price during any period set forth below is not an indication that the Silver Spot Price is more or less likely to increase or decrease at any time over the term of the LIRNs. On the pricing date, the Silver Spot Price was 3,328.00.

Before investing in the LIRNs, you should consult publicly available sources for the levels and trading pattern of the Silver Spot Price. The generally unsettled international environment and related uncertainties, including the risk of terrorism, may result in the Silver Spot Price and financial markets generally exhibiting greater volatility than in earlier periods.

  Capped Leveraged Index Return Notes^®   TS-8

Summary Tax Consequences

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

§ You agree with us (in the absence of an administrative determination, or judicial ruling to the contrary) to characterize and treat the LIRNs for all tax purposes as a single financial contract with respect to the Silver Spot Price that requires you to pay us at inception an amount equal to the purchase price of the LIRNs and that entitles you to receive at maturity an amount in cash based upon the performance of the Silver Spot Price.

§ Under this characterization and tax treatment of the LIRNs, upon receipt of a cash payment at maturity or upon a sale or exchange of the LIRNs prior to maturity, you generally will recognize capital gain or loss. This capital gain or loss generally will be long-term capital gain or loss if you held the LIRNs for more than one year.

Certain U.S. Federal Income Taxation Considerations

Set forth below is a summary of certain U.S. federal income tax considerations relating to an investment in the LIRNs. 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-35 of product supplement LIRN-2, which you should carefully review prior to investing in the LIRNs.

General. Although there is no statutory, judicial, or administrative authority directly addressing the characterization of the LIRNs, we intend to treat the LIRNs for all tax purposes as a single financial contract with respect to the Silver Spot Price that requires the investor to pay us at inception an amount equal to the purchase price of the LIRNs and that entitles the investor to receive at maturity an amount in cash based upon the performance of the Silver Spot Price. Under the terms of the LIRNs, we and every investor in the LIRNs agree, in the absence of an administrative determination or judicial ruling to the contrary, to treat the LIRNs as described in the preceding sentence. This discussion assumes that the LIRNs constitute a single financial contract with respect to the Silver Spot Price for U.S. federal income tax purposes. If the LIRNs did not constitute a single financial contract, the tax consequences described below would be materially different. The discussion in this section also assumes that there is a significant possibility of a significant loss of principal on an investment in the LIRNs.

This characterization of the LIRNs is not binding on the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) or the courts. No statutory, judicial, or administrative authority directly addresses the characterization of the LIRNs or any similar instruments for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and no ruling is being requested from the IRS with respect to their proper characterization and treatment. Due to the absence of authorities on point, significant aspects of the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the LIRNs are not certain, and no assurance can be given that the IRS or any court will agree with the characterization and tax treatment described in product supplement LIRN-2. Accordingly, you are urged to consult your tax advisor regarding all aspects of the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the LIRNs, including possible alternative characterizations.

Settlement at Maturity or Sale or Exchange Prior to Maturity. Assuming that the LIRNs are properly characterized and treated as single financial contracts with respect to the Silver Spot Price for U.S. federal income tax purposes, upon receipt of a cash payment at maturity or upon a sale or exchange of the LIRNs prior to maturity, a U.S. Holder (as defined on page S-36 of product supplement LIRN-2) generally will recognize capital gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized and the U.S. Holder’s basis in the LIRNs. This capital gain or loss generally will be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder held the LIRNs for more than one year. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations.

Possible Future Tax Law Changes. From time to time, there may be legislative proposals or interpretive guidance addressing the tax treatment of financial instruments such as the LIRNs. We cannot predict the likelihood of any such legislation or guidance being adopted, or the ultimate impact on the LIRNs. For example, on December 7, 2007, the IRS released Notice 2008-2 (“Notice”) seeking comments from the public on the taxation of financial instruments currently taxed as “prepaid forward contracts.” This Notice addresses instruments such as the LIRNs. According to the Notice, the IRS and Treasury are considering whether a holder of an instrument such as the LIRNs should be required to accrue ordinary income on a current basis, regardless of whether any payments are made prior to maturity. It is not possible to determine what guidance the IRS and Treasury will ultimately issue, if any. Any such future guidance may affect the amount, timing, and character of income, gain, or loss in respect of the LIRNs, possibly with retroactive effect. The IRS and Treasury are also considering additional issues, including whether additional gain or loss from such instruments should be treated as ordinary or capital, whether foreign holders of such instruments should be subject to withholding tax on any deemed income accruals, whether Section 1260 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, concerning certain “constructive ownership transactions,” generally applies or should generally apply to such instruments, and whether any of these determinations depend on the nature of the underlying asset. We urge you to consult your own tax advisors concerning the impact and the significance of the above considerations. We intend to continue treating the LIRNs for U.S. federal income tax purposes in the manner described herein unless and until such time as we determine, or the IRS or Treasury determines, that some other treatment is more appropriate.

Additional Medicare Tax on Unearned Income. With respect to taxable years beginning after December 31, 2012, certain U.S. Holders, including individuals, estates and trusts, will be subject to an additional 3.8% Medicare tax on unearned income. For individual U.S. Holders, the additional Medicare tax applies to the lesser of (i) “net investment income,” or (ii) the excess of “modified adjusted gross income” over $200,000 ($250,000 if married and filing jointly or $125,000 if married and filing separately). “Net investment income” generally equals the taxpayer’s gross investment income reduced by the deductions that are allocable to such income. Investment income generally includes passive income such as interest, dividends, annuities, royalties, rents, and capital gains. U.S. Holders are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding the implications of the additional Medicare tax resulting from an investment in the LIRNs.

You should consult your own tax advisor concerning the U.S. federal income tax consequences to you of acquiring, owning, and disposing of the LIRNs, 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. See the discussion under the section entitled “U.S. Federal Income Tax Summary” beginning on page S-35 of product supplement LIRN-2.

Market-Linked Investments Classification

Market-Linked Investments come in four basic categories, each designed to meet a different set of investor risk profiles, time horizons, income requirements, and market views (bullish, bearish, moderate outlook, etc.). The following descriptions of these categories are meant solely for informational purposes and are not intended to represent any particular Market-Linked Investment or guarantee performance. Certain Market-Linked Investments may have overlapping characteristics.

Market Downside Protection: 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.

Enhanced Income: These short- to medium-term market-linked notes offer you a way to enhance your income stream, either through variable or fixed-interest coupons, an added payout at maturity based on the performance of the linked asset, or both. In exchange for receiving current income, you will generally forfeit upside potential on the linked asset. Even so, the prospect of higher interest payments and/or an additional payout may equate to a higher return potential than you may be able to find through other fixed income securities. Enhanced Income Market-Linked Investments generally do not include market downside protection. The degree to which your principal is repaid at maturity is generally determined by the performance of the linked asset. Although enhanced income streams may help offset potential declines in the asset, you can still lose part or all of your original investment.

Market Access: Market Access notes may offer exposure to certain market sectors, asset classes, and/or strategies that may not even be available through the other three categories of Market-Linked Investments. Subject to certain fees, the returns on Market Access Market-Linked Investments will generally correspond on a one-to-one basis with any increases or decreases in the value of the linked asset, similar to a direct investment. In some instances, they may also provide interim coupon payments. These investments do not include the market downside protection feature and, therefore, your principal remains at risk.

Enhanced Return: These short- to medium-term investments 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 a degree of 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.
