BANK OF AMERICA
CORPORATION

53⁄8% SENIOR NOTES,
DUE 2011




BANK OF
AMERICA CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (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 its registered assigns, the principal sum of FIVE HUNDRED MILLION
AND NO/100THS DOLLARS ($500,000,000) on August 15, 2011 (except to the extent
redeemed or repaid prior to that date).   The Corporation will pay interest on
such principal sum at the rate of 53⁄8% per annum, until payment of such
principal sum has been made or duly provided for, semi-annually in arrears on
February 15 and August 15 of each year (each, an "Interest Payment Date"). 
Interest shall be payable commencing on the first Interest Payment Date
succeeding the Original Issue Date (as defined below) of this Note, and at the
stated maturity (the "Maturity Date") or earlier redemption or repayment.  If
the Corporation shall default in the payment of interest due on any Interest
Payment Date, then this Note shall bear interest from the next preceding
Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid, or, if no interest has
been paid on the Notes, from August 14, 2006 (the "Original Issue Date").  


Interest on
this Note will accrue from the Original Issue Date of this Note until the
principal amount is paid or duly provided for.  Interest (including payments
for partial periods) will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve
30-day months.  Interest payable on this Note on any Interest Payment Date or
the Maturity Date, as the case may be, will include interest accrued from, and
including, the preceding Interest Payment Date in respect of which interest has
been paid or duly provided for (or from, and including, the Original Issue Date,
if no interest has been paid or duly provided for) to, but excluding, the
Interest Payment Date or the 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 (as defined below), principal of or interest payable with respect



 




 to such Maturity Date or Interest Payment Date will be paid on the 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 as a result of that postponement.  The interest so payable, and
punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will be paid
to the person in whose name this Note (or one or more predecessor Notes
evidencing all or a portion of the same debt as this Note) is registered at the
close of business on the Record Date for such Interest Payment Date, whether or
not a Business Day.  The "Record Date" for the Notes shall be the close of
business on the first day of the calendar month in which an Interest Payment
Date occurs. "Business Day" means any weekday that is not a legal holiday in
New York, New York or Charlotte, North Carolina and that is 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 in New York or such other places that the
Corporation shall designate as provided in such Indenture.  However, 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.  Notwithstanding the preceding sentence,
payments of principal of and interest payable on the Maturity Date will be made
by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a designated account
maintained in the United States upon (i) receipt of written notice by the
Issuing and Paying Agent (as described on the reverse hereof) from the
registered holder hereof not less than one Business Day prior to the due date
of such principal and (ii) presentation of this Note to the Issuing and Paying
Agent, at The Bank of New York, 101 Barclay Street, New York, New York 10286. 
Any interest not punctually paid or duly provided for shall be payable as
provided in such Indenture.  


References
herein to "U.S. dollars," "U.S.$," or "$" are to the coin or currency of the
United States at the time of payment is legal tender for the payment of public
and private debts.


Reference is
made to the further provisions of this Note set forth on the reverse hereof,
which shall have the same effect as though fully set forth at this place.


Unless the
certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Trustee or by an
authenticating agent on behalf of the Trustee by manual signature, this Note
shall not be entitled to any benefit under such Indenture or be valid or
obligatory for any purpose.

other amounts payable to participants of DTC will be the responsibility of DTC,
and transfer of principal (premium, if any) 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.


          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, assessment, or other governmental charge,
including, without limitation, any withholding tax, payable in connection
therewith.


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

this series shall be dated the date of their authentication.


         SECTION 11.  Defined Terms.  All terms used in
