Hypothetical Coupon Rate Calculations

Examples

Set forth below are examples of the calculations of the hypothetical Coupon Rates (rounded to the nearest hundredth and expressed as percentages) determined on each of the Coupon Determination Dates, based upon the Minimum Coupon Rate of 1.00% per annum and the Auto-Cap of 8.37%. The examples illustrate, for the Initial Component Values set forth in the tables below, and a range of hypothetical Annual Component Values on each Coupon Determination Date:

• the hypothetical Component Return and Performance Level of each Basket Component;

• the hypothetical Average Performance Level; and

• the hypothetical Coupon Rate payable on the applicable Coupon Payment Date.

In the first example, on the applicable Coupon Determination Date, the Component Returns of one Basket Component is greater than zero and the Component Returns of eleven Basket Components are less than zero. The Performance Level of the Basket Component with a Component Return that is greater than zero will equal the Auto-Cap and the Performance Level of each of the Basket Components with a Component Return that is less than zero will equal its Component Return. The Average Performance Level is -10.10%. However, because in no event will the Coupon Rate determined on any Coupon Determination Date be less than the Minimum Coupon Rate, the Coupon Rate for the applicable Coupon Payment Date is 1.00%.

In the second example, on the applicable Coupon Determination Date, the Component Returns of six Basket Components are greater than zero and the Component Returns of the other six Basket Components are less than zero. The Performance Level of each of the Basket Components with a Component Return that is greater than zero will equal the Auto-Cap and the Performance Level of each of the Basket Components with a Component Return that is less than zero will equal its Component Return. The Average Performance Level is 3.06%. Therefore, even though the average Component Return is 11.38%, which is greater than the Average Performance Level, the Coupon Rate for the applicable Coupon Payment Date is 3.06%.

In the third example, on the applicable Coupon Determination Date, the Component Return of each Basket Component is greater than the Auto-Cap. The Performance Level of each Basket Component will equal the Auto-Cap, resulting in an Average Performance Level of 8.37%. Therefore, even though the average Component Return is 21.59%, which is greater than the Average Performance Level, the Coupon Rate for the applicable Coupon Payment Date is 8.37%.

In the fourth example, on the applicable Coupon Determination Date, the Component Returns of ten Basket Components is greater than zero and the Component Returns of two Basket Components are less than zero. The Performance Level of each of the Basket Components with a Component Return that is greater than zero will equal the Auto-Cap and the Performance Level of each of the Basket Components with a Component Return that is less than zero will equal its Component Return. The Average Performance Level is -0.52%. However, in no event will the Coupon Rate determined on any Coupon Determination Date be less than the Minimum Coupon Rate. Therefore, even though the average Component Return is 9.05%, which is greater than the Average Performance Level, the Coupon Rate for the applicable Coupon Payment Date is 1.00%.

In the fifth example, on the applicable Coupon Determination Date, the Component Return of each Basket Component is greater than zero but less than the Auto-Cap. The Performance Level of each Basket Component will equal the Auto-Cap, resulting in an Average Performance Level of 8.37%. Therefore, even though the average Component Return is 2.09%, which is less than the Average Performance Level, the Coupon Rate for the applicable Coupon Payment Date is 8.37%.

These examples and the table below are for illustration only. The Coupon Rate on one or more Coupon Payment Dates may be limited to the Minimum Coupon Rate.

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-8 of product supplement VCN-COMM-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.

§ The Coupon Rate on one or more Coupon Payment Dates may be limited to the Minimum Coupon Rate.

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

§ The Coupon Rate that will be applicable to each Coupon Payment Date will not exceed the Auto-Cap rate.

§ Due to the Auto-Cap, a significantly negative Component Return of one or more Basket Components may not be offset by the positive Component Return of one or more other Basket Components.

§ Your investment return, if any, may be less than a comparable investment directly in the Basket or the Basket Components.

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

§ 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.

§ In seeking to provide you with what we believe to be competitive 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 described on page TS-9. The price at which you may sell the notes in any secondary market may be lower than the public offering price due to, among other things, the inclusion of these costs.

§ 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 Coupon Payments will not be affected by all developments relating to the Basket Components.

§ Changes in the value of one or more of the Basket Components may be offset by changes in the value of one or more of the other Basket Components.

§ 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.

§ The historical performance of the Basket Components should not be taken as an indication of the future performance of the Basket Components during the term of the notes.

§ You will not have any rights with respect to any commodities or any related futures contracts represented by or included in the Basket Components.

§ Trading in commodities and related futures contracts may be speculative and can be extremely volatile, and the value of a Basket Component may change unpredictably, affecting the value of the notes in unforeseen ways.

§ The valuations of the commodities represented by or included in the Basket Components may not be consistent with other measures of value for those commodities.

§ Suspensions or disruptions of market trading in the commodities or any related futures contracts represented by or included in the Basket Components may adversely affect the value of the notes.

§ Changes in the exchange methodology or changes in law or regulation may adversely affect the values of the Basket Components and the value of the notes.

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

§ We, MLPF&S, and our other affiliates have no affiliation with the London Bullion Market Association (the “LBMA”), the London Platinum and Palladium Market (the “LPPM”), the London Metal Exchange (the “LME”), or any exchange on which a Basket Component trades and are not responsible for their actions or public disclosure of information.

§ Trading in the Basket Components 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 notes 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.

Additional Risk Factors

The price movements in the Futures Contracts may not correlate with changes in the underlying commodities’ spot prices.

A commodity futures contract is an agreement to buy a set amount of an underlying physical commodity at a predetermined price during a stated delivery period. The price of a futures contract reflects the expected value of the underlying physical commodity upon delivery in the future. In contrast, the underlying physical commodity’s current or “spot” price reflects the immediate delivery value of the commodity. In the commodities’ markets, price movements in futures contracts may not correlate with changes in the underlying physical commodities’ spot prices. As a result, increases in the spot prices of the underlying commodities may not result in an increase in the prices of the Futures Contracts included in the Basket Components. The prices of those Futures Contracts may decrease while the spot prices of the underlying commodities remain stable or increase, or do not decrease to the same extent.

The market value of the notes may be affected by price movements in distant-delivery futures contracts associated with the commodities underlying the Basket Components.

The price movements in the Basket Components may not be reflected in the market value of the notes. If you are able to sell your notes, the price you receive could be affected by changes in the values of futures contracts on the same or similar underlying commodities that have more distant delivery dates than the spot prices or Futures Contracts included in the Basket Components. The prices for these distant-delivery futures contracts may not increase to the same extent as the prices of the Basket Components, or may decrease to a greater extent, which may adversely affect the value of the notes.

The Basket Components include only a selection of commodities from the metals, energy, and agriculture sectors, and do not represent a broad investment in any of those sectors.

While the notes provide exposure to three sectors of commodities: metals, energy, and agriculture, the Basket Components include only a selection of commodities from each sector. An investment in the notes may therefore carry risks similar to a concentrated investment in the selected commodities for the applicable sector, and will be less diversified than securities linked to a broad range of commodities in that sector. The values of other commodities in those sectors may increase while the values of the Basket Components may not increase as much or may even decrease. Of the Basket Components, four are metals-oriented, four are energy-oriented, and four are agriculture-oriented. Accordingly, a decline in the values of these selected commodities may adversely affect the value of the notes.

The values of the Basket Components are subject to volatile price movements and are affected by numerous factors, and changes in those values may affect the value of the notes in unforeseeable ways.

The values of the Basket Components may fluctuate rapidly based on numerous factors, including supply and demand, levels of production and production costs, government policies and actions (particularly in important producing countries), weather, labor or political unrest, fiscal, monetary, and exchange control programs, and global and regional economic, financial, political, regulatory, judicial, or other events.

With respect to the Metals Components, 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 prices of gold are generally quoted), interest rates and gold borrowing and lending rates may adversely affect the prices of gold. Gold prices may also be affected by lending, sales, and purchases of gold by the official sector, including central banks and other governmental agencies and multilateral institutions which hold gold. Demand for palladium and platinum from the automotive industry, which uses these metals in catalytic converters, accounts for more than 50% of the industrial use of palladium and approximately 80% of the industrial use of platinum. Palladium is also used in the electronics, dental, and jewelry industries. The primary non-industrial use of platinum is jewelry, which accounts for approximately 40% of the overall demand for platinum. Accordingly, reduced demand in these and other industries in which palladium or platinum is used may lead to lower values of those metals. Demand for copper is significantly influenced by the level of global industrial economic activity. In recent years, demand has been supported by strong consumption from newly industrializing countries, which continue to be in a copper-intensive period of economic growth as they develop their infrastructure, such as China, which is the world’s largest consumer of copper. Any slowdown in economic growth in these countries will likely result in a decrease in demand for industrial base products, including copper, and may cause a decrease in copper prices.

With respect to the Energy Components, technological advances or the discovery of new oil or natural gas reserves could lead to increases in worldwide production of those commodities and corresponding decreases in the prices of the Energy Components. Further development and commercial exploitation of alternative energy sources, including solar, wind, or geothermal energy, could reduce the demand for crude oil, gasoline, heating oil, and natural gas products and result in lower prices for those commodities. In addition, the prices of oil and gasoline commodities are affected by direct government intervention such as embargos and supply disruptions in major producing or consuming regions. The outcome of meetings of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries also can affect liquidity and world oil supply and, consequently, the values of crude oil, gasoline, and heating oil. Market expectations about these events and speculative activity also may cause those prices to fluctuate unpredictably.

Furthermore, a significant proportion of world oil production capacity is controlled by a small number of producers. These producers have, in certain recent periods, implemented curtailments of output and trade. These efforts at supply curtailment, or the cessation of supply, could affect the values of crude oil, gasoline, and heating oil.

With respect to the Agriculture Components, changes in floods, drought and freezing conditions, changes in world diets, the development of alternative energy sources, and planting decisions may adversely affect the market prices for those commodities. In addition, technological advances could lead to increase in worldwide production of agricultural commodities and corresponding decreases in the prices of those commodities.

In the event of any of these developments, the prices of the applicable Basket Components and the value of the notes could decline. It is not possible to predict the aggregate effect of all or any combination of these factors.

There are risks associated with investing in the commodities represented by the Metal Components, and changes to the methodology used to calculate the spot prices of the Metal Components may affect the value of the notes.

The spot prices of the Precious Metal Components are derived from principals’ markets which operate as over-the-counter (“OTC”) physical commodity markets. The Copper Spot Price will be determined by reference to the cash seller and settlement price published by the LME, which is a principals’ market which operates in a manner similar to the OTC physical commodity markets. Certain features of U.S. futures markets are not present in the context of trading on the principals’ markets for the Metal Components. 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 of the Metal Components would continue to decline without limitation within a trading day or over a period of trading days.

Members of these principal markets determine the prices for the Metal Components, and any of these entities may adjust the determination of the applicable Metal Component prices in a way that adversely affects the value of the notes. In setting the prices of the Metal Components, none of the members of these principals markets has any obligation to consider your interests. These members may from time to time change any rule or bylaw or take emergency action under its rules, any of which could affect those prices. Any change of this kind could cause a decrease in the applicable Metal Component price, which would adversely affect the value of the notes.

Other Terms of the Notes

A “trading day” means a day, as determined by the calculation agent, on which trading is generally conducted (or was scheduled to have been generally conducted, but for the occurrence of a Market Disruption Event) on (i) with respect to Gold Spot Price, the LBMA, (ii) with respect to the Palladium Spot Price and the Platinum Spot Price, the LPPM, (iii) with respect to the Copper Spot Price, the LME, (iv) with respect to the Energy Components, the New York Mercantile Exchange, Inc. (“NYMEX”), (v) with respect to the Soybeans Futures Contract, the Wheat Futures Contract, and the Corn Futures Contract, the Board of Trade of the City of Chicago, Inc. (“CBOT”), and (vi) with respect to the Sugar Futures Contract, ICE Futures U.S., or in any case, any successor exchange or market.

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

We will 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, 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 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. This charge reflects an estimated profit earned by MLPF&S from transactions through which the notes are structured and resulting obligations hedged. The fees charged reduce the economic terms of the notes. 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 a division of MLPF&S or one of our subsidiaries or affiliates. For further information regarding these charges, our trading and hedging activities and conflicts of interest, see “Risk Factors” beginning on page S-8 and “Use of Proceeds” on page S-19 in product supplement VCN-COMM-1.

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.

Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations

Set forth below, together with the discussion of U.S. federal income tax in the accompanying product supplement VCN-COMM-1, 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-31 of the accompanying product supplement VCN-COMM-1, which you should carefully review prior to investing in the notes. For purposes of that discussion, we intend to treat the notes as “variable rate debt instruments” for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and the balance of this discussion assumes that this characterization is proper and will be respected. Capitalized terms used and not defined herein have the meanings ascribed to them in the accompanying product supplement VCN-COMM-1.

Under this characterization, interest on a note generally will be included in the income of a U.S. Holder as ordinary income at the time it is accrued or is received in accordance with the U.S. Holder’s regular method of accounting for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Upon the sale or exchange of a note, a U.S. Holder will recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized upon the sale or exchange (except to the extent attributable to accrued but unpaid interest) and the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the note.

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.
