Summary of Rule of 60 vesting condition

Below is a summary of the vesting condition for Rule of 60 that applies to eligible associates for awards granted in 2006 or later. You meet the Rule of 60 if your age plus years of vesting service equals 60, with a minimum of 10 years of vesting service and no minimum age. If you do not meet the Rule of 60, this vesting condition does not apply to you.

If your employment ends after you have attained the Rule of 60, to the extent the award does not otherwise vest upon termination, the award will vest in accordance with the original vesting schedule so long as you comply with the Rule of 60 vesting condition, as follows:

• You must not work for a named competitor of Bank of America during the remaining vesting period of your award. On the next page is the current list of named competitors. This list will be updated annually. The list in effect at your termination of employment will control.

• You must annually provide a written certification that you are not working for any of the named competitors. Each December, Bank of America will send to the most recent mailing address you have on record a certification form for you to complete and return. If you do not receive your form by early in the new year, you are responsible for obtaining a certification form by contacting the Bank of America Personnel Center at 0.000.000.0000. You will be considered in breach of the vesting condition if you fail to provide written certification as and when required. It is your sole responsibility to ensure that the company receives your annual certification. Accordingly, you need to keep the company apprised of any changes to your mailing address.

If you comply with these requirements, your award will continue to vest in accordance with the original vesting schedule. However, if you fail to meet either of the above requirements, the unvested portion of your award will be immediately canceled.
