SECTION 10. Registration of Transfer. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations as therein set forth, the transfer of this Note is registrable in the register maintained by the Registrar, upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Corporation designated by it pursuant to the Indenture, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Corporation and the Trustee or the Security Registrar requiring such written instrument of transfer duly executed by, the registered holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Notes of this series, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Corporation may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, assessment, or other governmental charge, including, without limitation, any withholding tax, payable in connection therewith.

Prior to due presentment of this Note for registration of transfer, the Corporation, the Trustee, the Issuing and Paying Agent, and any agent of the Corporation, the Trustee or any Issuing and Paying Agent may treat the person in whose name this Note is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes.

BANK OF AMERICA CORPORATION
Medium-Term Senior Note, Series K

SUPPLEMENTAL REDEMPTION AMOUNT RIDER

General

This Note is part of a series of medium-term notes entitled "Medium-Term Notes, Series K" issued under the Indenture, as described in the Prospectus dated April 14, 2004 and Prospectus Supplement dated April 15, 2004 and is designated as the Bank of America Corporation 1.50% Capital Protected EquitY PerformanCe LinkEd Securities "Basket CYCLES™," due December 28, 2011, Linked to a Basket of Health Care Stocks. Certain capitalized terms used herein have the meanings ascribed to them in the Prospectus and the Prospectus Supplement.

Interest

This Note bears interest from the Original Issue Date at a rate of 1.50% per annum. Interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on June 28 and December 28 of each year, and on the Maturity Date (each, an "interest payment date"), beginning June 28, 2006. Interest is computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

Each interest payment on an interest payment date will include interest accrued from, and including, the Original Issue Date or preceding interest payment date, as the case may be, to, but excluding, that interest payment date. If an interest payment date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the applicable payment will be made on the next Business Day as if it were the date that payment was due, and no interest will accrue as a result of the postponement.

The record date for each interest payment date, including the interest payment date scheduled to occur on the Maturity Date, will be the date that is 15 calendar days prior to that scheduled interest payment date, whether or not that date is a Business Day. However, the principal amount of this Note will be paid only to the holder of this Note on the Maturity Date.

Payment at Maturity; Supplemental Redemption Amount

At maturity, the Corporation will determine and pay:

(a) the principal amount of this Note;

(b) the final semi-annual payment of interest on this Note; and

calculated by reference to the performance of a group, or "Basket" of the common stock of 25 selected United States health care companies (each, a "Basket Stock") over the term of this Note. The Basket Stocks are: Xxxxxx Laboratories; Amgen Inc.; Xxxxxx International Inc.; Becton, Xxxxxxxxx and Company; Biogen Idec Inc.; Xxxxxxx-Xxxxx Squibb Company; Cardinal Health,

Inc.; Caremark Rx, Inc.; CIGNA Corporation; Coventry Health Care, Inc.; Xxx Xxxxx and Company; Forest Laboratories, Inc.; Genzyme Corporation; Gilead Sciences, Inc.; HCA Inc.; McKesson Corporation; Medco Health Solutions, Inc.; Medtronic, Inc.; Merck & Co., Inc.; Pfizer Inc.; Quest Diagnostics Incorporated; Schering-Plough Corporation; Stryker Corporation; Wyeth; and Xxxxxx Holdings, Inc.

On December 22, 2005, which is the "pricing date" of this Note, the Corporation established the "Starting Level" of the Basket at 1,000. Each Basket Stock represents 4.00%, or 40.00, of the Starting Level of the Basket on the pricing date. The number of shares of each Basket Stock was set by dividing 40.00 by the closing price (as defined below) of that Basket Stock on the pricing date. The result was rounded to the nearest one hundred-thousandth. This fixed number of shares is referred to as the "Share Ratio." The Share Ratio for each Basket Stock was fixed as of the pricing date and is subject to change only if certain extraordinary corporate events affect the relevant Basket Stock, as described below.

The "Basket Level" is the hypothetical value of the Basket that is determined at the close of any Trading Day (as defined below). The Basket Level equals the sum of the products of the closing level and the Share Ratio for each Basket Stock. The Basket Level will be rounded to the nearest one-hundredth.

After the market closes on the final annual valuation date, the Calculation Agent will determine the "Average Basket Return" and any Supplemental Redemption Amount. At maturity, the holder of this Note will be paid the principal amount of this Note, the final semi-annual interest payment, and any Supplemental Redemption Amount.

The Calculation Agent will determine any Supplemental Redemption Amount payable to the holder of this Note for each $1,000 principal amount of this Note at maturity by calculating the Average Basket Return and comparing it to the "Total Interest Percentage." The "Total Interest Percentage" is equal to 9.00%, and is the sum of the semi-annual interest payments over the term of this Note. The Calculation Agent will determine the "Average Level," which is the arithmetic average of the Basket Level on each of the six annual valuation dates set forth below (the sum of the Basket Level on each valuation date, divided by six):

Annual Valuation Dates

1. December 22, 2006

2. December 22, 2007

3. December 22, 2008

4. December 22, 2009

5. December 22, 2011

6. December 22, 2012

The Supplemental Redemption Amount, if any, will be based upon the Average Basket Return, which will be calculated as follows:

Average Level - Starting Level
Starting Level

The result will be rounded to the nearest ten-thousandth of a decimal place and then expressed as a percentage.

If the Average Basket Return is less than or equal to the Total Interest Percentage (which is equal to 9.00%), then the Supplemental Redemption Amount will equal $0.00.

If the Average Basket Return is greater than the Total Interest Percentage, then the Supplemental Redemption Amount for each $1,000 principal amount of the Notes will equal the product of:

$1,000 x (Average Basket Return - Total Interest Percentage)

This Note is principal protected. If the Average Basket Return does not exceed the Total Interest Percentage, the holder of this Note will receive only the principal amount and the final semi-annual interest payment at maturity.

A "Trading Day" means any day, as determined by the Calculation Agent, on which trading generally is conducted on the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. ("NYSE"), the American Stock Exchange LLC, the Nasdaq National Market, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, and the Chicago Board of Options Exchange, and in the over-the-counter market for equity securities in the United States.

The "Closing Price" for any security for which a trading price must be determined to calculate the Basket Level will be:

if the security is listed or admitted to trading on a national securities exchange, the last reported sale price, regular way, of the principal trading session on that day on the principal United States securities exchange registered under the Exchange Act on which that security is listed or admitted to trading; or
if the security is a security of the Nasdaq National Market (and provided that the Nasdaq National Market is not then a national securities exchange), the Nasdaq official closing price published by The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. on that day; or
if the security is not listed or admitted to trading on any national securities exchange or is not a security of the Nasdaq National Market, but is included in the OTC Bulletin Board Service (the "OTC Bulletin Board") operated by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., the last reported sale price of the principal trading session on the OTC Bulletin Board on that day; or
if the security is listed or admitted to trading on any national securities exchange or is a security of the Nasdaq National Market, but the last reported sale price or Nasdaq official closing price, as applicable, is not available as described above, the last reported sale price of the principal trading session on the over-the-counter market as reported on the Nasdaq National Market or the OTC Bulletin Board on that day.

If a Market Disruption Event (as defined below) has occurred with respect to any Basket Stock on a day that is required to be an annual valuation date as provided in the last paragraph under "-Market Disruption," or if on any other Trading Day the Closing Price of a security cannot be determined according to the immediately preceding provisions, then the Closing Price for that day will be the mean, as determined by the Calculation Agent, of the bid prices for the applicable security obtained from as many recognized dealers in that security, but not exceeding three, as will make those bid prices available to the Calculation Agent; provided that if no such bids are available, then the Closing Price for that day will equal the Calculation Agent's good faith estimate of the value of that security as of that day. A bid of BAS, Banc of America Investment Services, Inc., or any other affiliates of the Corporation may be included in the calculation of the mean, but only if that bid is the highest of the bids obtained. The term "security of the Nasdaq National Market" will include a security included in any successor to that system, and the term "OTC Bulletin Board Service" will include any successor to that service.

Event of Default

Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in the Indenture), the holder of this Note only will be entitled to receive the principal amount of the Note, and any accrued and unpaid interest, and will not be entitled to payment of any Supplemental Redemption Amount.

Market Disruption

With respect to any Basket Stock, "Market Disruption Event" means:

a suspension, absence, or material limitation of trading of any Basket Stock on the primary market for that Basket Stock for more than two hours of trading or during the one-half hour period preceding the close of the principal trading session in that market; or a breakdown or failure in the price and trade reporting systems of the primary market for any Basket Stock as a result of which the reported trading prices for that Basket Stock during the last one-half hour preceding the close of the principal trading session in that market are materially inaccurate; or the suspension, absence, or material limitation of trading on the primary market for trading in options contracts or futures contracts related to any Basket Stock, if available, during the one-half hour period preceding the close of the principal trading session in the applicable market, or a material disruption in securities settlement, payment, or clearance services in the United States, in each case as determined by the Calculation Agent in its sole discretion; and
a determination by the Calculation Agent, in its sole discretion, that any event described in the preceding paragraph materially interferes or interfered with the

ability of BAS or any of its affiliates to unwind or adjust all or a material portion of any hedge with respect to this Note.

For purposes of determining whether a Market Disruption Event has occurred:

a limitation on the number of hours or days of trading will not constitute a Market Disruption Event if it results from an announced change in the regular business hours of the relevant exchange;
a decision to permanently discontinue trading in the relevant options contract will not constitute a Market Disruption Event;
limitations under any rule or regulation enacted or promulgated by the NYSE, any other self-regulatory organization, or the SEC on trading during significant market fluctuations will constitute a suspension, absence, or material limitation of trading;
a suspension of trading in options contracts on a Basket Stock by the primary securities market trading in those options, if available, by reason of (a) a price change exceeding limits set by that securities exchange or market, (b) an imbalance of orders relating to those contracts, or (c) a disparity in bid and ask quotes relating to those contracts will constitute a suspension, absence, or material limitation of trading in options contracts related to that Basket Stock; and
a suspension, absence, or material limitation of trading on the primary securities market on which options contracts related to a Basket Stock are traded will not include any time when that securities market is itself closed for trading under ordinary circumstances.

If a Market Disruption Event occurs or is continuing with respect to one or more Basket Stocks (a "Market Disruption Stock") on a day that would otherwise be an annual valuation date, then, in order to calculate the Basket Level as of that annual valuation date, the Calculation Agent instead will use the Closing Price of each Market Disruption Stock on the first Business Day after that day on which no Market Disruption Event occurs or is continuing as to that Market Disruption Stock. The Calculation Agent will use the Closing Price for each Basket Stock that is not a Market Disruption Stock on the applicable annual valuation date.

In no event, however, will the determination of the Closing Price for any Market Disruption Stock be postponed by more than five Business Days. If any determination as to a Market Disruption Stock is postponed to the last possible day, but a Market Disruption Event occurs or is continuing on that day, that day will nevertheless be the annual valuation date as to that Market Disruption Stock. The Calculation Agent will determine the Closing Price of the applicable Market Disruption Stock for that day as described in the last paragraph above under the definition of "Closing Price." If any determination of a Closing Price required to be made on the last scheduled annual valuation date is postponed due to a Market Disruption Event, the maturity date for this Note also will be postponed by the same number of Business Days.

The Basket and Adjustments to the Basket

The "Basket" is comprised of the common stocks of the following Basket Stocks, as weighted below based on the Closing Price of each Basket Stock on December 22, 2005, the

Pricing Date, as determined by the Calculation Agent, to achieve a Basket Level of 1,000 on that date:

Basket Stock	Initial Price of Basket Stock	Weight	Share Ratio
Xxxxxx Laboratories	40.74	4.00%	0.98184
Amgen Inc.	81.09	4.00%	0.49328

If one of the events described below occurs and the Calculation Agent determines that the event has a dilutive or concentrative effect on the theoretical value of a particular Basket Stock, the Calculation Agent will calculate a corresponding adjustment to the Share Ratio of that Basket Stock as the Calculation Agent, in its sole discretion, determines appropriate to account for that dilutive or concentrative effect. For example, if an adjustment is required because of a two-for-one stock split of a Basket Stock, then the number of shares of that Basket Stock will be adjusted to double the Share Ratio. The Calculation Agent also will determine the effective date of an adjustment and the substitution in the Basket of those shares, if applicable, in the event of a consolidation or merger of the relevant Basket Stock. Upon making any adjustment, the Calculation Agent will give notice promptly to the Corporation and the Trustee, stating the adjustment to the Share Ratio or to the Basket Stocks in the Basket.

If more than one event occurs that requires adjustment to a particular Share Ratio, the Calculation Agent will adjust the number of those shares in the Basket in the order in which each event occurs, and on a cumulative basis. Thus, after adjusting the number of those shares in the

Basket for the first event, the Calculation Agent then will adjust the number of those shares in the Basket for the second event. The second adjustment will be made to those shares in the Basket after the adjustment is made for the first event, and so on for each event.

For any dilution event described below, other than a consolidation or merger, the Calculation Agent will not have to adjust the applicable Share Ratio unless the adjustment would result in a change of at least 0.1% to the number of shares that would apply without the adjustment. The Share Ratio resulting from any adjustment will be rounded up or down to the nearest 0.00001, with 0.000005 being rounded upward.

If an event requiring an antidilution adjustment occurs, the Calculation Agent will make the adjustments with a view to offsetting, to the extent practical, any change in the economic position of the holder relative to this Note that results solely from that event. The Calculation Agent, in its sole discretion, may modify the antidilution adjustments in this section as necessary to promote an equitable result.

The Calculation Agent will make all determinations, in its sole discretion, with respect to antidilution adjustments, including any determination as to whether an event requiring adjustment has occurred or the nature of the adjustment required and how it will be made. In the absence of manifest error, those determinations will be conclusive for all purposes and will be binding on the holder of this Note and the Corporation, without any liability on the part of the Calculation Agent. The holder of this Note will not be entitled to any compensation from the Corporation for any loss suffered as a result of any of the above determinations by the Calculation Agent. The Calculation Agent will provide information about any adjustments it makes upon the written request of the holder of this Note.

The following are examples of events that may require an antidilution adjustment:

a subdivision, consolidation, or reclassification of a Basket Stock or a free distribution or dividend of any shares of a Basket Stock to its existing shareholders by way of bonus, capitalization, or similar event;
a distribution or dividend to existing shareholders of a Basket Stock of shares of:
the Basket Stock,
other share capital or securities granting the right to payment of dividends and/or the proceeds of liquidation of a Basket Stock equally or proportionately with such payments to its shareholders, or
any other type of securities, rights, or warrants in any case for payment (in cash or otherwise) at less than the prevailing market price as determined by the Calculation Agent;
the declaration by an issuer of a Basket Stock of an extraordinary or special dividend or other distribution whether in cash or shares of its stock or other assets;

a repurchase by an issuer of a Basket Stock of its stock whether out of profits or capital and whether the consideration for that repurchase is cash, securities, or otherwise;
any other similar event that may have a dilutive or concentrative effect on the theoretical value of a Basket Stock; or
a consolidation of an issuer of a Basket Stock with another company, or a merger of an issuer of a Basket Stock with another company.

Stock Splits

If a Basket Stock is subject to a stock split, then the Calculation Agent will adjust its Share Ratio to equal the sum of the prior Share Ratio-i.e., the number of shares before that adjustment-plus the product of (1) the number of new shares issued in the stock split with respect to one share of the relevant Basket Stock, and (2) the prior Share Ratio.

Reverse Stock Splits

If a Basket Stock is subject to a reverse stock split, then the Calculation Agent will adjust its Share Ratio to equal the product of the prior number of shares and the quotient of (1) the number of outstanding shares of the relevant Basket Stock outstanding immediately after the reverse stock split becomes effective, divided by (2) the number of shares of the relevant Basket Stock outstanding immediately before the reverse stock split becomes effective.

Stock Dividends

If a Basket Stock is subject to a stock dividend payable in shares of its stock, then the Calculation Agent will adjust the Share Ratio of that Basket Stock in the Basket to equal the sum of the prior number of shares plus the product of (1) the number of shares issued in the stock dividend with respect to one share of the relevant Basket Stock, and (2) the prior number of shares.

Other Dividends and Distributions

A Share Ratio will not be adjusted to reflect dividends or other distributions paid with respect to a Basket Stock, other than:

stock dividends as described above;
issuances of transferable rights and warrants as described in "-Transferable Rights and Warrants" below;
distributions that are spin-off events as described in "-Reorganization Events" below; and
extraordinary dividends as described below.

A dividend or other distribution with respect to a Basket Stock will be deemed to be an extraordinary dividend if its per share value exceeds that of the immediately preceding non-extraordinary dividend, if any, for that Basket Stock by an amount equal to at least 10% of the Closing Price of that Basket Stock on the Business Day before the ex-dividend date. The ex-dividend date for any dividend or other distribution is the first day on which the relevant Basket Stock trades without the right to receive that dividend or distribution.

If an extraordinary dividend occurs, the Calculation Agent will adjust the relevant Share Ratio of that Basket Stock to equal the product of (1) the prior Share Ratio, and (2) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Closing Price of the relevant Basket Stock on the Business Day before the ex-dividend date and the denominator of which is the amount by which that Closing Price exceeds the extraordinary dividend amount.

The extraordinary dividend amount of an extraordinary dividend for a particular Basket Stock equals:

for an extraordinary dividend that is paid in lieu of a regular quarterly dividend, the amount of the extraordinary dividend per share of that Basket Stock, minus the amount per share of the immediately preceding dividend, if any, that was not an extraordinary dividend for that Basket Stock; or
for an extraordinary dividend that is not paid in lieu of a regular quarterly dividend, the amount per share of the extraordinary dividend.

To the extent an extraordinary dividend is not paid in cash, the Calculation Agent will determine the value of any non-cash component. A distribution on a Basket Stock that is a stock dividend payable in shares of that Basket Stock, an issuance of rights or warrants or a spin-off event and an extraordinary dividend will result in an adjustment to the number of shares only as described in "-Stock Dividends" above, "-Transferable Rights and Warrants" below, or "-Reorganization Events" below, as the case may be, and not as described here.

Transferable Rights and Warrants

If a Basket Stock issues transferable rights or warrants to all shareholders of its Basket Stock to subscribe for or purchase its Basket Stock, then the Share Ratio for that Basket Stock will be adjusted on the Business Day immediately following the issuance of those rights or warrants so that the new Share Ratio will equal the prior Share Ratio plus the product of (a) the prior Share Ratio and (b) the number of shares of that Basket Stock that can be purchased with the cash value of those warrants or rights distributed on a single share of that Basket Stock. The number of shares that can be purchased will be based on the closing price of that Basket Stock on the date the new Share Ratio is determined. The cash value of those rights or warrants, if the warrants or rights are traded on a national securities exchange, will equal the closing price of those warrants or rights, or, if the warrants or rights are not traded on a national securities exchange, will be determined by the Calculation Agent and will equal the average (mean) of the bid prices obtained from three dealers at 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date the new Share Ratio is determined. However, if only two bid prices are available, then the cash value of

those warrants or rights will equal the average (mean) of those bids and if only one bid is available, then the cash value of those warrants or rights will equal that bid. A bid of BAS, BAI, or any of their affiliates may be included in the calculation of the mean, but only if that bid is the highest of the bids obtained. If no such bids are available, then the cash value of those rights or warrants will equal the Calculation Agent's good faith estimate of the value of that security as of that day.

Reorganization Events

Each of the following is a reorganization event for any Basket Stock:

the issuer of the Basket Stock's capital stock is reclassified or changed;
the issuer of the Basket Stock has been subject to a merger, consolidation, or other combination and either is not the surviving entity or is the surviving entity but all of its outstanding Basket Stock is exchanged for or converted into other property;
a statutory share exchange involving the outstanding Basket Stock and the securities of another entity occurs, other than as part of an event described above;
the issuer of the Basket Stock sells or otherwise transfers its property and assets as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to another entity;
the issuer of the Basket Stock effects a spin-off-that is, issues to its shareholders the equity securities of another issuer, other than as part of an event described above;
the issuer of the Basket Stock is liquidated, dissolved, or wound up or is subject to a proceeding under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, or other similar law; or
another entity completes a tender or exchange offer for all the outstanding common shares of that Basket Stock.

Adjustments for Reorganization

If a reorganization event occurs with respect to any issuer of the Basket Stock, then the Calculation Agent will adjust the applicable Share Ratio so as to reflect the amount and type of property or properties - whether it be cash, securities, other property, or a combination - that a prior holder of that Basket Stock would hold after the reorganization event had occurred. This new property is referred to as the "distribution property."

For purposes of making an adjustment required by a reorganization event, the Calculation Agent, in its sole discretion, will determine the value of each type of distribution property. For any distribution property consisting of a security, the Calculation Agent will use the Closing Price of the security on the effective date of the reorganization. The Calculation Agent may value other types of property in any manner it determines, in its sole discretion, to be appropriate. If a holder of the applicable Basket Stock may elect to receive different types or combinations of types of distribution property in the reorganization event, the distribution

property will consist of the types and amounts of each type distributed to a holder that makes no election, as determined by the Calculation Agent in its sole discretion.

If a reorganization event occurs and the Calculation Agent adjusts the Share Ratio of that Basket Stock to consist of the distribution property distributed in connection with the reorganization event as described above, the Calculation Agent then will make any further antidilution adjustments for later events that affect the distribution property, or any component of the distribution property, comprising the new Share Ratio. The Calculation Agent will do so to the same extent that it would make adjustments if the applicable Basket Stock were outstanding and were affected by the same kinds of events. If a subsequent reorganization event affects only a particular component of the Share Ratio, the required adjustment will be made only for that component.

For example, if the issuer of a Basket Stock merges into another company and each share of the relevant Basket Stock is converted into the right to receive two common shares of the surviving company and a specified amount of cash, the applicable Share Ratio will be adjusted to consist of two common shares of the surviving company and that specified amount of cash. The Calculation Agent will adjust the common share component of the new number of shares to reflect any later stock split or other event, including any later reorganization event, that affects the common shares of the surviving company, to the extent described in this section as if the common shares of the merged company were the Basket Stock. In that event, the cash component will not be adjusted but will continue to be a component of the Share Ratio (with no interest adjustment) in the Basket.

If a reorganization event occurs, the distribution property distributed in the event will be substituted for the relevant Share Ratio as described above. Consequently, references to a share of a Basket Stock means any distribution property that is distributed in a reorganization event and comprises the adjusted Share Ratio for that stock. Similarly, references to a Basket Stock mean any successor entity in a reorganization event for that Basket Stock.

Role of the Calculation Agent

The Calculation Agent has the sole discretion to make all determinations regarding this Note, including determinations regarding the Average Level, the Average Basket Return, the Supplemental Redemption Amount, Market Disruption Events, and Business Days. Absent manifest error, all determinations of the Calculation Agent will be final and binding on the holder of this Note and the Corporation, without any liability on the part of the Calculation Agent.

The Corporation has initially appointed its affiliate, Banc of America Securities LLC, as the Calculation Agent, but the Corporation may change the Calculation Agent at any time without notifying the holder of this Note.
