         Bank of America Corporation, a corporation duly organized and existing
under the laws of the State of Delaware (herein called the "Corporation," which
term includes any successor corporation under the Indenture referred to on the
reverse hereof), for value received, hereby promises to pay to CEDE & CO., or
registered assigns, the Principal Amount on the Maturity Date, and to pay
interest, until the Principal Amount is paid, thereon from and including the
Issue Date or, in the case of a Note issued upon registration of transfer or
exchange, from and including the most recent Interest Payment Date to which
interest has been paid or duly provided for as follows: the Interest Payment
Dates for a Note that provides for monthly interest payments shall be the
fifteenth day of each calendar month (or the next Business Day), commencing in
the calendar month that next succeeds the month of the Issue Date; in the case
of a Note that provides for quarterly interest payments, the Interest Payment
Dates shall be the fifteenth day of each third month (or the next Business Day),
commencing in the third succeeding calendar month following the month of the
Issue Date; in the case of a Note that provides for semi-annual interest
payments, the Interest Payment dates shall be the fifteenth day of each sixth
month (or the next Business Day), commencing in the sixth succeeding calendar
month following the month of the Issue Date; and in the case of a Note that
provides for annual interest payments, the Interest Payment Date shall be the
fifteenth day of every twelfth month (or the next Business Day), commencing in
the twelfth succeeding calendar month following the month of the Issue Date.
Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day
months.

         Interest payments will be in the amount of interest accrued from, and
including, the next preceding Interest Payment Date in respect of which interest
has been paid or duly provided for or, if no interest has been paid, from the
Issue Date specified above, to, but excluding, the Interest Payment Date or
Maturity Date, as the case may be. If the Maturity Date or an Interest Payment
Date falls on a day which is not a Business Day, principal or interest payable
with respect to such Maturity Date or Interest Payment Date will be paid on the
next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on such
Maturity Date or Interest Payment Date, as the case may be, and no additional
interest shall accrue for the period from and after such Maturity Date or
Interest Payment Date. The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly
provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in the Indenture,
be paid to the Person in whose name this Note (or one or more predecessor Notes)
is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such
interest, which shall be the close of business on the first day of the calendar
month in which the Interest Payment Date occurs, whether or not such date shall
be a Business Day; provided, however, that the Regular Record Date for the final
Interest Payment Date is the Maturity Date. Any such interest not so punctually
paid or duly provided for shall be payable as provided in the Indenture. As used
herein, the term "Business Day" means any weekday that is (1) not a legal
holiday in New York, New York or Charlotte, North Carolina and (2) not a day on
which banking institutions in those cities are authorized or required by law or
regulation to be closed.

         The principal of and interest on this Note are payable in immediately
available funds in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at
the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts at
the office or agency of the Corporation designated as provided in the Indenture;
provided, however, that interest may be paid, at the option of the Corporation,
by check mailed to the person entitled thereto at his address last appearing on
the registry books of the Corporation relating to the Notes.

                             SUBORDINATED INTERNOTE

         This Note is one of a duly authorized series of unsecured notes of the
Corporation designated as "Bank of America Corporation Subordinated InterNotes",
initially limited to $3,000,000,000 in principal amount (the "Notes"), issued
and to be issued under a Restated Indenture dated as of January 1, 2001 (the
"Indenture"), between the Corporation and The Bank of New York, (the "Trustee,"
which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), to which
Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a
statement of the respective rights thereunder of the Corporation, the Trustee
and the holders of the Notes, and the terms upon which the Notes are, and are to
be, authenticated and delivered. The Bank of New York also serves as Note
Registrar and as Paying Agent in connection with the Notes. The amount of the
series of Notes may be increased at any time. The Notes may bear different
dates, mature at different times, bear interest at different rates and vary in
such other ways as are provided in the Indenture.

         THE INDEBTEDNESS OF THE CORPORATION EVIDENCED BY THE NOTES, INCLUDING
THE PRINCIPAL THEREOF AND INTEREST THEREON, IS, TO THE EXTENT AND IN THE MANNER
SET FORTH IN THE INDENTURE, SUBORDINATE AND JUNIOR IN RIGHT OF PAYMENT TO ITS
OBLIGATIONS TO HOLDERS OF SENIOR INDEBTEDNESS, AS DEFINED IN THE INDENTURE, AND
EACH HOLDER OF THE NOTES, BY THE ACCEPTANCE HEREOF, AGREES TO, AND SHALL BE
BOUND BY SUCH PROVISIONS OF THE INDENTURE.

         This Note is not subject to any sinking fund.

         IF NO REPAYMENT RIGHT IS SET FORTH ON THE FACE HEREOF, THIS NOTE MAY
NOT BE REPAID AT THE OPTION OF THE HOLDER HEREOF PRIOR TO THE STATED MATURITY
DATE. If a Repayment Right is granted on the face of this Note, this Note may be
subject to repayment at the option of the holder on the Interest Payment Date,
indicated on the face hereof. On any Repayment Date this Note shall be repayable
in whole or in part in increments of $1,000 at the option of the holder hereof
at a Repayment Price equal to 100% of the principal amount to be repaid,
together with interest thereon payable to the date of repayment. For this Note
to be repaid in whole or in part at the option of the holder hereof, this Note
must be received, with the form entitled "Option to Elect Repayment" below duly
completed, by the Trustee/Paying Agent at the Corporate Trust Office, or such
other address of which the Corporation shall from time to time notify the
holders of the Notes, not more than 60 nor less than 30 days prior to an
Repayment Date. Exercise of such repayment option by the holder hereof shall be
irrevocable.

         IF NO REDEMPTION RIGHT IS SET FORTH ON THE FACE HEREOF, THIS NOTE MAY
NOT BE REDEEMED AT THE OPTION OF THE CORPORATION PRIOR TO THE STATED MATURITY
DATE. If a Redemption Right is granted on the face of this Note, this Note may
be redeemed at the option of the Corporation on any Interest Payment Date on and
after the date, if any, specified on the face hereof (the "Redemption Date"). On
and after the Redemption Date, if any, this Note may be redeemed at any time in
whole or from time to time



                                       5
<PAGE>   6

in part in increments of $1,000 at the option of the Corporation, together with
interest thereon payable to the Redemption Date, on notice given not more than
60 nor less than 30 days prior to the proposed Redemption Date. In the event of
redemption of this Note in part only, a new Note for the unredeemed portion
hereof shall be issued in the name of the holder hereof upon the surrender
hereof.

         The provisions of Section 12.05 of the Indenture do not apply to
Securities of this Series.

         If an Event of Default (defined in the Indenture as certain events
involving the bankruptcy of the Corporation) shall occur with respect to the
Notes, the principal of all the Notes may be declared due and payable in the
manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. THERE IS NO RIGHT OF
ACCELERATION PROVIDED IN THE INDENTURE IN CASE OF A DEFAULT IN THE PAYMENT OF
INTEREST OR THE PERFORMANCE OF ANY OTHER COVENANT BY THE CORPORATION.

         The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the
amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
Corporation and the rights of the holders of the Notes under the Indenture at
any time by the Corporation with the consent of the holders of not less than 66
2/3% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding under the
Indenture and affected by such amendment and modification. The Indenture also
contains provisions permitting the holders of a majority in aggregate principal
amount of Notes then outstanding under the Indenture and affected thereby, on
behalf of the holders of all Notes then outstanding under the Indenture, to
waive compliance by the Corporation with certain provisions of the Indenture and
certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such
consent or waiver by the holder of this Note shall be conclusive and binding
upon such holder and upon all future holders of this Note and of any Note issued
upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu
hereof whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note.

         No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or
of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Corporation, which
is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest on this Note
at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.

         No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of or the
interest on this Note, or for any claim based hereon, or otherwise in respect
hereof, or based on or in respect of the Indenture or any indenture supplemental
thereto, against any incorporator, stockholder, officer or director, as such,
past, present or future, of the Corporation or any predecessor or successor
corporation, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law, or
by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability
being, by the acceptance hereof and as part of the consideration for issue
hereof, expressly waived and released.

         As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein
set forth, the transfer of this Note may be registered on the Note Register of
the Corporation relating to the Notes, 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 Note Registrar duly executed by, the holder hereof or his attorney duly
authorized in writing, and



                                       6
<PAGE>   7

thereupon one or more new Notes, of authorized denominations and for the same
aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or
transferees.

         This Note is issuable only as a registered Note without coupons in
denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple in excess thereof unless
otherwise specifically agreed between the parties and provided on the face of
this Note.

         No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or
exchange, but the Corporation may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover
any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

         Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer of this Note, the
Corporation, the Trustee, the Paying Agent and any agent of the Corporation, the
Trustee or the Paying Agent may treat the entity in whose name this Note is
registered as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of receiving payment as
herein provided and for all other purposes, whether or not this Note be overdue,
and neither the Corporation, the Trustee, the Paying Agent nor any such agent
shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

         All terms used in this Note which are defined in the Indenture shall
have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

         If the Notes are to be issued and outstanding pursuant to a
book-entry-only system, the following paragraph is applicable: The Notes are
being issued by means of a book-entry-only system with no physical distribution
of certificates to be made except as provided in the Indenture. The book-entry
system maintained by The Depository Trust Company ("DTC") will evidence
ownership of the Notes, with transfers of ownership effected on the records of
DTC and its participants pursuant to rules and procedures established by DTC and
its participants. The Corporation will recognize Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC,
while the registered owner of the Notes, as the owner of the Notes for all
purposes, including payment of principal and interest, notices and voting.
Transfer of principal and interest to participants of DTC will be the
responsibility of DTC, and transfer of principal and interest to beneficial
owners of the Notes by participants of DTC will be the responsibility of such
participants and other nominees of such beneficial owners. So long as the
book-entry system is in effect, the selection of any Notes to be redeemed will
be determined by DTC pursuant to rules and procedures established by DTC and its
participants. The Corporation will not be responsible or liable for such
transfers or payments or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing the records
maintained by DTC, its participants or persons acting through such participants.

                             SURVIVOR'S OPTION RIDER

         If the Survivor's Option is applicable to this Note, the representative
of a deceased beneficial owner of the Note or a beneficial interest in the Note
shall have the option to elect repayment of such Note or interest following the
death of the owner (a "Survivor's Option"). Unless specifically provided on the
face of this Note, no Survivor's Option may be exercised if the deceased owner
of the Note or a beneficial interest in the Note has held such Note or interest
for less than six months prior to that owner's death.

         Pursuant to exercise of the Survivor's Option, the Corporation shall
repay any Note (or portion thereof) properly tendered for repayment by or on
behalf of the person (the "Representative") that has authority to act on behalf
of the deceased beneficial owner of a Note under the laws of the appropriate
jurisdiction (including, without limitation, the personal representative,
executor, surviving joint tenant or surviving tenant by the entirety of such
deceased beneficial owner) at a price equal to 100 % of the principal amount of
the beneficial interest of the deceased owner in such Note plus accrued interest
to the date of such repayment, subject to the following limitations:

                  (a) The Corporation may, in its sole discretion, limit the
         aggregate principal amount of Notes as to which exercises of the
         Survivor's Option shall be accepted in any calendar year (the "Annual
         Put Limitation") to 1% of the Outstanding principal amount of the Notes
         as of the end of the most recent fiscal year, but not less than
         $1,000,000 in any such calendar year, or such greater amount as the
         Corporation in its sole discretion may determine for any calendar year,
         and may limit to $200,000, or such greater amount as the Corporation in
         its sole discretion may determine for any calendar year, the aggregate
         principal amount of Notes (or portions thereof) as to which exercise of
         the Survivor's Option will be accepted in such calendar year with
         respect to any individual deceased owner or beneficial interests in
         such Notes (the "Individual Put Limitation").

                  (b) The Corporation shall not make principal repayments
         pursuant to exercise of the Survivor's Option in amounts that are less
         than $1,000, and, in the event that the limitations described in the
         preceding sentence would result in the partial repayment of any Note,
         the principal amount of such Note remaining outstanding after repayment
         must be at least $1,000 (the minimum authorized denomination of the
         Notes).

                  (c) Any Note (or portion thereof) tendered pursuant to a valid
         exercise of the Survivor's Option may not be withdrawn.

         Each Note (or portion thereof) that is tendered pursuant to valid
exercise of the Survivor's Option shall be accepted promptly in the order all
such Notes are tendered, except for any Note (or portion thereof) the acceptance
of which would contravene (i) the Annual Put Limitation, if applied, or (ii) the
Individual Put Limitation, if applied, with respect to the relevant individual
deceased owner of beneficial interests therein. If, as of the end of any
calendar year, the aggregate principal amount of Notes (or portions thereof)
that have been accepted pursuant to exercise of the Survivor's Option during
such year has exceeded either the Annual Put Limitation, if applied, or the
Individual Put Limitation, if applied, for such year, any exercise(s) of the

shall be deemed to be tendered in the following calendar year in the order all
such Notes (or portions thereof) were tendered. Normally, any Note (or portion
thereof) accepted for repayment pursuant to exercise of the Survivor's Option
shall be repaid on the first Interest Payment Date that occurs 20 or more
calendar days after the date of such acceptance. In the event that a Note (or
any portion thereof) tendered for repayment pursuant to valid exercise of the
Survivor's Option is not accepted, the Trustee shall deliver a notice by
first-class mail to the registered holder thereof at its last known address as
indicated in the Note Register, that states the reason such Note (or portion
thereof) has not been accepted for payment.

         In order for a Survivor's Option to be validly exercised with respect
to any Note (or portion thereof), the Trustee must receive from the
Representative of the deceased owner (i) a written request for repayment signed
by the Representative, and such signature must be guaranteed by a member firm of
a registered national securities exchange or of the National Association of
Securities Dealers, Inc. (the "NASD") or a commercial bank or trust company
having an office or correspondent in the United States, (ii) tender of a Note
(or portion thereof) to be repaid, (iii) appropriate evidence satisfactory to
the Trustee that (A) the deceased was the owner of a beneficial interest in such
Note at the time of death and for at least six months prior to such Owner's
death, (B) the death of such beneficial owner has occurred and (C) the
Representative has authority to act on behalf of the deceased beneficial owner,
(iv) if applicable, a properly executed assignment or endorsement, and (v) if
the beneficial interest in such Note is held by a nominee of the deceased
beneficial owner, a certificate satisfactory to the Trustee from such nominee
attesting to the deceased's ownership of a beneficial interest in such Note, and
(vi) tax waivers and such other instruments or documents that the Trustee
reasonably requires in order to establish the validity of ownership of the Notes
and the Claimants entitled to payment. Subject to the Corporation's right
hereunder to limit the aggregate principal amount of Notes as to which exercises
of the Survivor's Option shall be accepted in any one calendar year, all
questions as to the eligibility or validity of any exercise of the Survivor's
Option will be determined by the Trustee, in its sole discretion, which
determination shall be final and binding on all parties.

         The death of a person owning a Note in joint tenancy or tenancy by the
entirety with another or others shall be deemed the death of the holder of the
Note, and the entire principal amount of the Note so held shall be subject to
repayment, together with interest accrued thereon to the repayment date. The
death of a person owning a Note by tenancy in common shall be deemed the death
of a holder of a Note only with respect to the deceased holder's interest in the
Note so held by tenancy in common; except that in the event a Note is held by
husband and wife as tenants in common, the death of either shall be deemed the
death of the holder of the Note, and the entire principal amount of the Note so
held shall be subject to repayment. The death of a person who, during his or her
lifetime, was entitled to substantially all of the beneficial interests of
ownership of a Note, shall be deemed the death of the holder thereof for
purposes of this provision, regardless of the registered holder, if such
beneficial interest can be established to the satisfaction of the Trustee. Such
beneficial interest shall be deemed to exist in typical cases of nominee
ownership, ownership under the Uniform Transfers to Minors Act, community
property or other joint ownership arrangements between a husband and wife and
trust arrangements where one person has substantially all of the beneficial
ownership interest in the Note during his or her lifetime.

         For Notes represented by a Global Note, the Depository or its nominee
shall be the holder of such Note and therefore shall be the only entity that can
exercise the survivor's option for such Note. To obtain repayment pursuant to
exercise of the Survivor's Option with respect to such Note, the Representative
must provide to the broker or other entity through which the beneficial interest
in such Note is held by the deceased owner (i) the documents described in
clauses (i), (iii) and (vi) of the second preceding paragraph and (ii)
instructions to such broker or other entity to notify the Depository of such
Representative's desire to obtain repayment pursuant to exercise of the
Survivor's Option. Such broker or other entity shall provide to the Trustee (i)
the documents received from the Representative referred to in clause (i) of the
preceding sentence and (ii) a certificate satisfactory to the Trustee from such
broker or other entity stating that it represents the deceased beneficial owner.
Such broker or other entity shall be responsible for disbursing any payments it
receives pursuant to exercise of the Survivor's Option to the appropriate
Representative.
