 THIS SUPPLEMENT TO GLOBAL AGENCY AGREEMENT, dated as of December 19, 2008 (the

 (i)    BANK OF AMERICA, N.A., a national banking organization organized under
the laws of the United States of America, as issuer (the “Bank”);

 WHEREAS: 
 A.    The Bank has established the Global Bank Note Program described in the Offering
Circular, dated July 25, 2007 (as such document may hereafter be amended, supplemented or replaced by the Bank, including the material incorporated therein by reference, the “Offering Circular”), which will be supplemented by
one or more product and/or pricing supplements setting forth additional terms and conditions of bank notes, pursuant to which the Bank may from time to time issue up to US$75,000,000,000 (or the equivalent thereof in other currencies) in an
aggregate principal amount (issued on or after the date hereof) at any one time outstanding of its bank notes (the “Notes”); 
 B.    The Offering Circular describes the duties and obligations of certain agents with respect to the Notes; 
 C.    The Bank has determined that it is advisable and in the interests of the Bank and the holders of certain series of its senior unsecured debt with a stated maturity of more than 30 days (the “Eligible
Notes”) that such indebtedness be issued subject to a guarantee of the FDIC pursuant to 12 CFR Part 370 (as such regulations may be amended or supplemented from time to time, the “FDIC Guarantee”); 







 D.    As a condition to the FDIC Guarantee, the Bank will enter into this Supplement
prior to the issuance of the Eligible Notes, which shall be applicable to those securities issued subject to the FDIC Guarantee and only for so long as the FDIC Guarantee remains in effect for any such senior debt securities or such later time as
may be required by the rules and regulations of the FDIC or any successor entity (the “Termination Date”); 
 E.    This Supplement shall lapse and be without further effect upon the later to occur of (a) payment in full of all senior debt securities subject to the FDIC Guarantee or (b) the Termination Date;

 F.    This Supplement has been duly authorized and approved by an Authorized Representative, effective as of the date
hereof; and 
 G.    Section 34 of the Agreement provides that the Bank and the Agents may modify, amend or
supplement the Agreement without the consent of any holder of Notes, Talons, Receipts or Coupons so long as such action does not adversely effect the rights of the holders of a series of outstanding Notes; 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, and of the mutual covenants, representations, warranties and agreements contained herein, the
parties agree as follows: 
 ARTICLE I 
 ADDITIONAL TERMS 
 Section 1.1    Section 4(a) of the Agreement is hereby
amended by renumbering paragraph 27 as paragraph 28 and inserting a new paragraph 27, which shall read as follows: 
 “27.    Whether the Eligible Notes are issued subject to a FDIC Guarantee.” 
 Section
1.2    The Agreement is hereby amended by the addition of a new Section 40, which shall read as follows: 
 “Section 40. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Guaranteed Senior Unsecured Debt 
 (a)    Acknowledgement of the FDIC’s Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program 
 (i)
The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the Bank has not opted out of the temporary liquidity guarantee program (the “TLG Program”) established by the FDIC’s Final Rule, 12 C.F.R. Part 370 (as may be amended or
supplemented from time to time, the “Rule”). The TLG Program applies to any Eligible Notes issued on or after October 14, 2008 through June 30, 2009 (the “Effective Issue Period”) that constitute unsecured
senior debt, as defined in the Rule and as to which the Bank has not duly made an election in accordance with Section 370.3(g) of the Rule and with respect to each such Eligible Note, for the period from October 14, 2008 to the earlier of
the date such Note matures pursuant to the terms thereof and June 30, 2012 (the “Effective Maturity Period” and together with the Effective Issue Period, the “Effective Period”). As a result, 

  

 2 








 
this debt is guaranteed under the FDIC Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program and is backed by the full faith and credit of the United States. The details
of the FDIC Guarantee are provided in the FDIC’s regulations, 12 C.F.R. Part 370, and at the FDIC’s website, www.fdic.gov/tlgp. The expiration date of the FDIC’s Guarantee is the earlier of the maturity date of this debt or
June 30, 2012. 
 The provisions of this Section shall be applicable only to any Notes issued under this Agreement
which affirmatively indicate that they are subject to the FDIC Guarantee and the security certificate, note or other instrument evidencing each applicable Eligible Note shall bear a legend, upon which the Representative (as defined below) shall be
entitled to conclusively rely, to the effect that such security certificate, note or other instrument is guaranteed by the FDIC under the TLG Program. 
 (ii) In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Section 40 and the rules and regulations of the TLG Program, or the Master Agreement (and any amendments thereto) entered into by the Bank and the
FDIC (the “Master Agreement”) with respect thereto, such rules and regulations, and/or such Master Agreement shall control. 
 (b)    Representative 
 (i) Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas is designated under
this Agreement as the duly authorized representative of the holders for purposes of making claims and taking other permitted or required actions under the TLG Program (the “Representative”). Any holder may elect not to be
represented by the Representative by providing written notice of such election to the Representative. 
 (ii) Upon an uncured
failure by the Bank to make a timely payment of principal or interest under any applicable Eligible Notes (a “Payment Default”), the Representative, on behalf of all holders of such Notes that are represented by the Representative,
shall submit to the FDIC a demand for payment by the FDIC of such unpaid principal and interest, together with proof of such claim and such other documentation as may be required by the FDIC under the Rule (i) in the case of any payment due by
the Bank prior to the final maturity or redemption of such Notes, on the earlier of the date that the applicable cure period ends (or if such date is not a Business Day, the immediately succeeding Business Day) and 60 days following such Payment
Default and (ii) in the case of any payment due by the Bank on the final maturity date or on a redemption date for such Notes, on such final maturity date or redemption date (or if such date is not a Business Day, the immediately succeeding
Business Day). 
 (c)    Subrogation 
 The FDIC shall be subrogated to all of the rights of the holders and the Representative under this Agreement against the Bank in respect
of any amounts 

  

 3 








 
paid to the holders, or for the benefit of the holders, by the FDIC pursuant to the TLG Program. 
 (d)    Agreement to Execute Assignment upon Guarantee Payment 
 (i) The holders hereby authorize the Representative, at such time as the FDIC shall commence making any guarantee payments to the
Representative for the benefit of the holders pursuant to the TLG Program, to execute an assignment substantially in the form attached to this Agreement as Exhibit L pursuant to which the Representative shall assign to the FDIC its right as
Representative to receive any and all payments from the Bank under this Agreement and under the applicable Notes on behalf of the holders. The Bank hereby consents and agrees that the FDIC is an acceptable transferee for all or any portion of the
indebtedness hereunder and under the applicable Notes for all purposes of this Agreement and upon any such assignment (or any assignment by any holder that elects not to be represented by the Representative, as provided above), the FDIC shall be
deemed a holder under this Agreement for all purposes hereof, and the Bank hereby agrees to take such reasonable steps as are necessary to comply with any relevant provision of this Agreement as a result of such assignment. 
 (ii) If a holder has exercised its right not to be represented by the Representative, such holder hereby agrees that, at such time as
shall be required by the Rule, such Holder shall execute an assignment in the form attached as Exhibit L (or such other form as may be then required by the Rule), pursuant to which such holder shall assign to the FDIC its right to receive any and
all payments from the Bank under this Agreement. 
 (e)    Surrender of Senior Unsecured Debt Instrument to the
FDIC 
 If, at any time on or prior to the expiration of the Effective Period, payment in full hereunder shall be made
pursuant to the TLG Program on the outstanding principal and accrued interest to such date of payment, the holder shall, or the holder shall cause the person or entity in possession to, promptly surrender to the FDIC the security certificate, note
or other instrument evidencing such debt, if any. 
 (f)    Notice Obligations to FDIC of Payment Default

 If, at any time prior to the earlier of (a) full satisfaction of the payment obligations hereunder, or
(b) expiration of the Effective Period, the Bank is in default of any payment obligation hereunder, including timely payment of any accrued and unpaid interest, without regard to any cure period, the Representative covenants and agrees that it
shall provide written notice to the FDIC within one (1) Business Day of such payment default. 
 (g)    Ranking 
  

 4 








 Any indebtedness of the Bank to the FDIC arising under Section 2.03 of the Master
Agreement entered into by the Bank and the FDIC in connection with the TLG Program will constitute a senior unsecured general obligation of the Bank, ranking pari passu with any indebtedness hereunder. 
 (h)    No Event of Default during Time of Timely FDIC Guarantee Payments 
 There shall not be deemed to be an event of default under the Agreement or under any provision of the applicable Notes which would permit
or result in the acceleration of amounts due hereunder, if such an event of default is due solely to the failure of the Bank to make timely payment hereunder or under the applicable Notes, provided that the FDIC is making timely guarantee payments
with respect to the debt obligations hereunder in accordance with 12 C.F.R Part 370. 
 Without limiting the foregoing, no
provision of the Notes shall result in any acceleration of the amounts due under those Notes at any time at which the FDIC is making such timely guarantee payments, or the Bank is making the required payments under such Notes. 
 (i)    No Modifications Without FDIC Consent 
 Without the express written consent of the FDIC, the parties hereto agree not to amend, modify, supplement or waive any provision in this
Agreement or the Notes governed hereby that is related to the principal, interest, payment, default or ranking of the indebtedness hereunder or that is required to be included herein pursuant to the Master Agreement executed by the Bank in
connection with the TLG Program.” 
 Section 1.3    Section 25(b) of the Agreement is hereby amended by adding
the following phrase at the beginning of such section: 
 “Except for (i) the FDIC in connection with the FDIC
Guarantee, (2) the holders of the Notes as provided in Section 40 of this Agreement, or (3) as otherwise provided in 12 CFR Part 370, ...” 
 Section 1.4    The Agreement is hereby amended by the insertion of a new “Exhibit L” in the form attached hereto. 
 ARTICLE II

 Exhibit L 
 FORM OF ASSIGNMENT1 
 This Assignment is made pursuant to the terms of
Section 40 of the Global Agency Agreement, dated as of July 25, 2007, as amended from time to time (the “Agreement”), between Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, et al, or its successor hereunder (the
“Representative”), acting on behalf of the holders of the debt issued under the Agreement who have not opted out of representation by the Representative (the “Holders”), and Bank of America, N.A. (the
“Bank”) with respect to the debt obligations of the Company that are guaranteed under the TLG Program. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Agreement.

 For value received, the Representative, on behalf of the Holders (the “Assignor”), hereby assigns to the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”), without recourse, all of the Assignor’s respective rights, title and interest in and to: (a) the promissory note or other instrument evidencing the debt issued pursuant to the terms of
the Agreement (the “Note”); (b) the Agreement pursuant to which the Note was issued; and (c) any other instrument or agreement executed by the Bank regarding obligations of the Bank under the Note or the Agreement
(collectively, the “Assignment”). 
 The Assignor hereby certifies that: 
 1.    Without the FDIC’s prior written consent, the Assignor has not: 
 (a)    agreed to any material amendment of the Note or the Agreement or to any material deviation from the
provisions thereof; or 
 (b)    accelerated the maturity of the Note. 
 [Instructions to the Assignor: If the Assignor has not assigned or transferred any interest in the Note and related documentation, such Assignor must include the
following representation.] 
 2.    The Assignor has not assigned or otherwise transferred any interest
in the Note or the Agreement; 
 [Instructions to the Assignor: If the Assignor has assigned a partial interest in the Note and related documentation,
the Assignor must include the following representation.] 
 2.    The Assignor has assigned part of its
rights, title and interest in the Note and the Agreement to                          pursuant to the
                         agreement, dated as of
                        , 20    , between
                        , as assignor, and
                        , as assignee, an executed copy of which is attached hereto. 
  
  

	 1
	 This Form of Assignment shall be modified as appropriate if the assignment is being made by an individual debt holder
rather than the Representative or if the debt being assigned is not in certificated form or otherwise represented by a written instrument. 


  

 L-1 








 The Assignor acknowledges and agrees that this Assignment is subject to the Agreement and to the
following: 
 1.    In the event the Assignor receives any payment under or related to the Note or the
Agreement from a party other than the FDIC (a “Non-FDIC Payment”): 
 (a)    after the
date of demand for a guarantee payment on the FDIC pursuant to 12 C.F.R. Part 370, but prior to the date of the FDIC’s first guarantee payment under the Agreement pursuant to 12 C.F.R. Part 370, the Assignor shall promptly but in no event later
than five (5) Business Days after receipt notify the FDIC of the date and the amount of such Non-FDIC Payment and shall apply such payment as payment made by the Bank, and not as a guarantee payment made by the FDIC, and therefore, the amount
of such payment shall be excluded from this Assignment; and 
 (b)    after the FDIC’s first
guarantee payment under the Agreement, the Assignor shall forward promptly to the FDIC such Non-FDIC Payment in accordance with the payment instructions provided in writing by the FDIC. 
 2.    Acceptance by the Assignor of payment pursuant to the TLG Program on behalf of the Holders shall constitute a
release by such Holders of any liability of the FDIC under the TLG Program with respect to such payment. 
 The Person who is executing this
Assignment on behalf of the Assignor hereby represents and warrants to the FDIC that he/she/it is duly authorized to do so.
