Summary

The Strategic Accelerated Redemption Securities^® Linked to the Common Stock of Apple Inc., due April     , 2012 (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 notes provide for an automatic call if the Observation Level of the common stock of Apple Inc. (the “Underlying Stock”) on any Observation Date is equal to or greater than the Call Level. If the notes are called on any Observation Date, you will receive on the Call Settlement Date an amount per unit (the “Call Amount”) equal to the Original Offering Price of the notes plus the applicable Call Premium. If your notes are not called, the amount you receive on the maturity date (the “Redemption Amount”) will not be greater than the Original Offering Price per unit and will be based on the direction of and percentage decrease in the price of the Underlying Stock from the Starting Value, as determined on the pricing date, to the Ending Value, as determined on the final Observation Date. Investors must be willing to forgo interest payments on the notes and be willing to accept a repayment that may be less, and potentially significantly less, than the Original Offering Price of the notes. Investors also must be prepared to have us call their notes on any Observation Date. Investors’ gain or loss generally will be long-term capital gain or loss if the notes are held for more than one year, and otherwise will be short-term capital gain or loss. Accordingly, if the notes are called on the first or second Observation Date, any capital gain or loss generally will be short-term capital gain or loss. Any such gain or loss is subject to certain tax implications, set forth under “Summary Tax Consequences” and “Certain U.S. Federal Income Taxation Considerations.”

Capitalized terms used but not defined in this term sheet have the meanings set forth in product supplement STOCK STR-1. Unless otherwise indicated or unless the context requires otherwise, all references in this term sheet to “we,” “us,” “our,” or similar references are to BAC.

  Strategic Accelerated Redemption Securities^®   TS-2

Hypothetical Payments

Set forth below are five hypothetical examples of payment calculations (with hypothetical Call Amounts and hypothetical Redemption Amounts rounded to three decimal places), based on:

1) a hypothetical Starting Value of 338.30, the Volume Weighted Average Price of the Underlying Stock on March 23, 2011 (rounded to two decimal places);

2) a hypothetical Threshold Value of 321.39, or 95% of the hypothetical Starting Value (rounded to two decimal places);

3) a hypothetical Call Level of 338.30, or 100% of the hypothetical Starting Value;

4) a hypothetical term of the notes from March 30, 2011 to April 6, 2012, a term expected to be similar to that of the notes;

5) a hypothetical Call Premium of 15% of the Original Offering Price per unit per annum, the midpoint of the Call Premium range of 13% to 17% of the Original Offering Price per annum; and

6) hypothetical Observation Dates occurring on September 30, 2011, December 30, 2011, and March 30, 2012.

The Notes Are Called on One of the Observation Dates

The notes have not been previously called and the Observation Level on the relevant Observation Date is equal to or greater than the Call Level. Consequently, the notes will be called at the Call Amount per unit equal to $10.000 plus the applicable Call Premium.

Example 1

If the call is related to the hypothetical Observation Date that falls on September 30, 2011, the hypothetical Call Amount per unit will be:

$10.000 plus the Call Premium of $0.750 = $10.750 per unit.

Example 2

If the call is related to the hypothetical Observation Date that falls on December 30, 2011, the hypothetical Call Amount per unit will be:

$10.000 plus the Call Premium of $1.125 = $11.125 per unit.

  Strategic Accelerated Redemption Securities^®   TS-3

Example 3

If the call is related to the hypothetical Observation Date that falls on March 30, 2012, the hypothetical Call Amount per unit will be:

$10.000 plus the Call Premium of $1.500 = $11.500 per unit.

The Notes Are Not Called on any of the Observation Dates

Example 4

The notes are not called on any of the hypothetical Observation Dates and the hypothetical Ending Value of the Underlying Stock on the final Observation Date is not less than 321.39, the hypothetical Threshold Value. The hypothetical Redemption Amount per unit will therefore be $10.000.

  Strategic Accelerated Redemption Securities^®   TS-4

Example 5

The notes are not called on any of the hypothetical Observation Dates and the hypothetical Ending Value of the Underlying Stock on the final Observation Date is less than 321.39, the hypothetical Threshold Value. The hypothetical Redemption Amount will be less, and possibly significantly less, than the Original Offering Price per unit.

If the hypothetical Ending Value is 287.56, or 85% of the hypothetical Starting Value, the hypothetical Redemption Amount will be:

$10 +	[	$10 ×	(	287.56 –  321.39	)	× 100%	]	= $9.000 per unit
				338.30

These examples have been prepared for purposes of illustration only. Your actual return will depend on the actual Starting Value, the actual Observation Level on the applicable Observation Date, the Ending Value, if applicable, the Call Premium, and the term of your investment.

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. The following is a list of certain of the risks involved in investing in the notes. You should carefully review the more detailed explanation of risks relating to the notes in the “Risk Factors” sections beginning on page S-9 of product supplement STOCK STR-1 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 notes.

§ If the notes are not called prior to maturity, your investment may result in a loss; there is no guaranteed return of principal.

§ Your return, if any, is limited to the return represented by the Call Premium.

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

§ Your investment return, if any, may be less than the return on a comparable investment directly in the Underlying Stock.

§ You must rely on your own evaluation of the merits of an investment linked to the Underlying Stock.

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

§ 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.

§ The amount that you receive at maturity or upon a call will not be affected by all developments relating to the Underlying Stock.

§ The Underlying Company will have no obligations relating to the notes, and neither we nor the selling agent will perform any due diligence procedures with respect to the Underlying Company in connection with this offering.

§ You will have no rights of a holder of the Underlying Stock, and you will not be entitled to receive shares of the Underlying Stock or dividends or other distributions of the Underlying Company.

§ While we or our affiliates may from time to time own shares of the Underlying Stock, we do not control the Underlying Company, and are not responsible for any disclosure made by the Underlying Company.

§ If you attempt to sell the notes 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 their Original Offering Price.

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

§ Purchases and sales by us and our affiliates of shares of the Underlying Stock 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 notes and their market value.

§ Our business activities relating to the Underlying Company may create conflicts of interest with you.

§ There may be potential conflicts of interest involving the calculation agent. For example, the calculation may be required to make certain judgments if a corporate event occurs relating to the Underlying Stock, as described below. We have the right to appoint and remove the calculation agent.

§ The payments on the notes will not be adjusted for all corporate events that could affect the Underlying Stock. See “Description of the Notes—Anti-Dilution Adjustments” beginning on page S-24 of product supplement STOCK STR-1.

§ 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” and “Certain U.S. Federal Income Taxation Considerations” below and “U.S. Federal Income Tax Summary” beginning on page S-35 of product supplement STOCK STR-1.

Investor Considerations

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

§ You anticipate that the Observation Level of the Underlying Stock will be equal to or greater than the Call Level on any Observation Date and you seek an early redemption prior to maturity at a premium in that case.

§ You are willing to receive a pre-determined return on your investment, capped at the Call Premium, in case the notes are called, regardless of the performance of the Underlying Stock from the Starting Value to the date on which the notes are called.

§ You are willing to accept that the notes may not be called prior to the maturity date, in which case your return on your investment will be equal to or less than the Original Offering Price per unit.

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

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

§ You seek exposure to the Underlying Stock with no expectation of receiving dividends or other benefits of owning the Underlying Stock.

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

§ You are willing to make an investment, the payment on which depends on our creditworthiness, as the issuer of the notes.

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

§ You want to hold your notes for the full term.

§ You anticipate that the price of the Underlying Stock will decrease from the Starting Value to the Ending Value.

§ You anticipate that the Observation Level will not be equal to or greater than the Call Level on any Observation Date.

§ You seek a return on your investment that will not be capped at the Call Premium.

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

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

§ You want to receive dividends or other distributions paid on the Underlying Stock.

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

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

Other Provisions

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.

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.

Supplement to the Plan of Distribution; 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 FINRA Rule 5121. Under our distribution agreement with MLPF&S, MLPF&S will purchase the notes 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. MLPF&S will not receive an underwriting discount for the notes sold to certain fee-based trusts and fee-based discretionary accounts managed by U.S. Trust operating through Bank of America, N.A. In the original offering of the notes, the notes 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 notes 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.

Summary Tax Consequences

You should consider the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the notes, 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 notes for all tax purposes as a callable single financial contract linked to the Underlying Stock that requires you to pay us at inception an amount equal to the purchase price of the notes and that entitles you to receive at maturity or upon earlier redemption an amount in cash linked to the price of the Underlying Stock.

• Under this characterization and tax treatment of the notes, upon receipt of a cash payment at maturity or upon a sale, exchange, or redemption of the notes 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 hold the notes for more than one year and otherwise will be short-term capital gain or loss. Accordingly, if the notes are called on the first or second Observation Date, your capital gain or loss generally will be short-term capital gain or loss.

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 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-35 of product supplement STOCK STR-1, which you should carefully review prior to investing in the notes.

General. Although there is no statutory, judicial, or administrative authority directly addressing the characterization of the notes, we intend to treat the notes for all tax purposes as a callable single financial contract linked to the Underlying Stock that requires you to pay us at inception an amount equal to the purchase price of the notes and that entitles you to receive at maturity or upon earlier redemption an amount in cash linked to the price of the Underlying Stock. Under the terms of the notes, we and every investor in the notes agree, in the absence of an administrative determination or judicial ruling to the contrary, to treat the notes as described in the preceding sentence. This discussion assumes that the notes constitute a callable single financial contract linked to the Underlying Stock for U.S. federal income tax purposes. If the notes did not constitute a callable single financial contract, the tax consequences described below would be materially different.

This characterization of the notes is not binding on the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) or the courts. No statutory, judicial, or administrative authority directly addresses the characterization of the notes 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 notes 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 STOCK STR-1. 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 notes, including possible alternative characterizations. The discussion in this section and in the section entitled “U.S. Federal Income Tax Summary” in product supplement STOCK STR-1 assume that there is a significant possibility of a significant loss of principal on an investment in the notes.

Settlement at Maturity or Sale, Exchange, or Redemption Prior to Maturity. Assuming that the notes are properly characterized and treated as callable single financial contracts linked to the Underlying Stock for U.S. federal income tax purposes, upon receipt of a cash payment at maturity or upon a sale, exchange, or redemption of the notes prior to maturity, a U.S. Holder (as defined on page S-35 of product supplement STOCK STR-1) generally will recognize capital gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized and the U.S. Holder’s basis in the notes. This capital gain or loss generally will be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder holds the notes for more than one year and otherwise will be short-term capital gain or loss. Accordingly, if the notes are called on the first or second Observation Date, a U.S. Holder’s capital gain or loss generally will be short-term capital gain or loss. 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 notes. We cannot predict the likelihood of any such legislation or guidance being adopted, or the ultimate impact on the notes. 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 notes. According to the Notice, the IRS and Treasury are considering whether a holder of an instrument such as the notes 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 notes, 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 notes 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.

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. See the discussion under the section entitled “U.S. Federal Income Tax Summary” beginning on page S-35 of product supplement STOCK STR-1.

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-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.

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 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.

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.
