Exhibit 10.2 

 

FIRST AMENDMENT TO EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

This First Amendment to Employment Agreement (this "Amendment"), is made and entered into on September 22, 2005, between Inergy GP, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the "Company"), and Carl A. Hughes, an individual (the "Employee").

The Employee and Inergy Partners, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, entered into an Employment Agreement, dated May 21, 2001 (the "Original Employment Agreement").  Inergy Partners, LLC subsequently assigned the Original Employment Agreement to the Company.  The Company and the Employee desire to amend the Original Employment Agreement to modify the Employee's compensation and bonus and to extend the term of the Employee's employment as provided herein.

The parties hereby agree as follows:

1.Compensation.  Section 2 of the Original Employment Agreement is hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows:

2.Compensation.  For all services rendered by the Employee to the Company, the Company shall pay the Employee a salary at the annual rate of One Hundred Seventy-Five Thousand Dollars ($175,000) (the "Salary"), payable in arrears in accordance with the Company's general payroll practices.  All payments made pursuant to this Agreement are subject to any applicable withholding or other taxes.

2.Additional Benefits.
(a)Section 4(b) of the Original Employment Agreement is hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows:
(b)For each fiscal year during the term of this Agreement, the Company agrees to pay the Employee a performance bonus based on subjective and objective criteria established by the Company from time to time.  If, and to the extent, the Company determines that the Employee has met such subjective and objective criteria, the Employee will receive a cash bonus in an amount up to $175,000, to be paid within 90 days after the end of the relevant fiscal year.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in order to receive a bonus pursuant to this Section 4(b), the Employee must have been continuously employed by the Company from May 21, 2001 until the end of the relevant fiscal year.

(b)Sections 4(c) and 4(d) of the Original Employment Agreement are hereby deleted in their entirety.

3.Covenant Not to Compete.  Section 8 of the Original Employment Agreement is hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows:

Therefore, in consideration of such training and relations, and in consideration of his continued employment with the Company and the increase in compensation and additional benefits provided in this Agreement, and to further protect the Intellectual Property, trade secrets and Confidential Information of the Company or any subsidiary, parent or affiliate of the Company, the Employee agrees that during the term of his employment by the Company and for a period of two years from and after the voluntary or involuntary termination of such employment for any or no reason, he will not, directly or indirectly, without the express written consent of the Company, except when and as requested to do in and about the performing of his duties under this Agreement:

(c)entice or induce or in any manner influence any person who is or becomes in the employ or service of the Company or any subsidiary, parent or affiliate of the Company to leave such employ or service for the purpose of engaging in a business that may be in competition with any business now or at any time during the period hereof engaged in by the Company or any subsidiary, parent or affiliate of the Company.

 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
1.25% Capital Protected EquitY PerformanCe LinkEd Securities “Basket CYCLESTM,” due September 27, 2011, Linked to a Basket of Four Indices. 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 1.25% per annum. Interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on March 27 and September 27 of each year, and on the Maturity Date (each, an “interest payment date”), beginning March 27, 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 
  
 (c) under the circumstances described below, a
“Supplemental Redemption Amount” 
  
 calculated by reference to the
performance of a group, or “Basket” of four selected stock indices over the term of this Note. The four stock indices (each, a “Basket Index”) are the S&P 500® Index, the S&P MidCap 400 Index, the Russell 2000® Index, and the Dow Jones EURO STOXX 50SM Index. 
  

 9 

 On September 22, 2005, which is the “pricing date” of this Note, the Corporation established
the “Starting Level” of the Basket at 1,000. Each Basket Index represents a percentage of the Starting Level of the Basket on the pricing date. For each Basket Index, the Corporation set a “Index Ratio” on the pricing date. The
Corporation set the Index Ratio for each Basket Index by (a) multiplying 1,000 by the “Index Weight” for that Basket Index that is set forth in the table below and (b) dividing that product by the closing level of that Basket Index on the
pricing date. In the case of the Dow Jones EURO STOXX 50SM Index, to effect the above calculation, the closing level
on the pricing date was multiplied by the U.S. dollar/euro exchange rate at 11:00 a.m., New York time, on the pricing date, as determined by the Calculation Agent. The result in both cases was rounded to the nearest one hundred-thousandth. The Index
Ratio for each Basket Index was fixed as of the pricing date and is subject to change only if certain events or adjustments affect the relevant Basket Index, as described below. 
  
 The “Basket Level” is the hypothetical value of the Basket that is determined at the close of any Business Day.
The Basket Level equals the sum of the products of the closing level and the Index Ratio for each Basket Index. However, in the case of the Dow Jones EURO STOXX 50SM Index, its closing level will be multiplied by its Index Ratio and the U.S. dollar/euro exchange rate at 11:00 a.m., New York time, on the annual valuation date, as determined by the
Calculation Agent. The Basket Level will be rounded to the nearest one-hundredth. 
  
 The following table illustrates the Basket Indices, as weighted below based on the closing level of each Basket Index on the pricing date, as determined by the Calculation Agent to achieve a Basket Level of 1,000 on
that date:

States and European stock markets close 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 7.50% of the principal amount of this Note, and is the sum of the semi-annual
interest payments that will be paid 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 following six annual valuation dates (the sum of
the Basket Level on each valuation date, divided by 6):

 Annual Valuation Dates 
  
 1. September 22, 2006 
  
 2. September 22, 2007 
  
 3. September 22, 2008 
  
 4. September 22, 2009 
  
 5.
September 22, 2010 
  
 6. September 22, 2011 
  
 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 7.50%), 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. 
  
 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 
  
 Each of the following will be a “Market Disruption Event” if, in the sole opinion of the Calculation Agent, that event materially affects any of
the Basket Indices: 
  

 11 

 (a) the suspension, material limitation, or absence of the trading of a material number of stocks
included in any of the Basket Indices; 
  
 (b) the suspension or
material limitation of the trading of stocks on one or more stock exchanges on which stocks included in any of the Basket Indices are quoted; 
  
 (c) the suspension or material limitation of the trading of (i) options or futures relating to any of the Basket Indices or (ii) options or futures
generally; or 
  
 (d) the imposition of any exchange controls with
respect to any currencies involved in determining the total amount payable on this Note at maturity. 
  
 For the purpose of this definition of Market Disruption Event: 
  

(a) a limitation on the number of hours or days of trading will not be a Market Disruption Event if it results from an announced change in the regular
business hours of the relevant exchange; 
  
 (b) a limitation on
trading imposed by reason of the movements in price exceeding the levels permitted by any relevant exchange will be a Market Disruption Event; 
  
 (c) a decision to permanently discontinue trading in the relevant futures or options contracts will not constitute a Market Disruption Event; and

  
 (d) an absence of trading on a securities exchange or
quotation system will not include any time when that exchange or quotation system is closed for trading under ordinary circumstances. 
  
 If a Market Disruption Event occurs or is continuing with respect to any Basket Index 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 level of the Basket Index on the first Business Day after that day on which no Market Disruption Event occurs or is continuing
as to that Basket Index. The Calculation Agent will use the closing level for each Basket Index that is not subject to a Market Disruption Event on the applicable annual valuation date. 
  
 In no event will the determination of the closing level for any Basket Index subject to a Market Disruption Event be
postponed by more than five Business Days. If any determination as to a Basket Index subject to a Market Disruption Event is postponed to the last possible day, but a Market Disruption Event occurs or is continuing on that day, that day nevertheless
will be the annual valuation date as to that Basket Index, the Calculation Agent will make a good faith estimate of the closing level of the Basket Index based upon its assessment of the level of the Basket Index at that time. If any determination
of a closing level required to be made on the final 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. 
  

 12 

 Discontinuance of the Basket Indices; Alteration of Method of Calculation 
  
 If the publication of any of the Basket Indices is discontinued and a
successor or substitute index is published that the Calculation Agent determines, in its sole discretion, is comparable to the discontinued Basket Index (the new index being referred to as a “Successor Index”), then the relevant closing
levels of the applicable Basket Index will be determined by reference to the closing level of the Successor Index. 
  
 If the Calculation Agent selects a Successor Index for any Basket Index, the Calculation Agent immediately will notify the Corporation and the Trustee,
and the Trustee will provide written notice of a change to the holder of this Note within three Business Days of selection. 
  
 If the publication of a Basket Index or a Successor Index is discontinued, and the Calculation Agent determines that no Successor Index is available, then
the Calculation Agent will notify the Corporation and the Trustee and will calculate the appropriate closing levels. These calculations by the Calculation Agent will be in accordance with the formula for and method of calculating the applicable
Basket Index last in effect prior to that discontinuance. If a Successor Index is selected or the Calculation Agent calculates a level as a substitute for the applicable Basket Index, that Successor Index or level will be substituted for that Basket
Index for all purposes, and the Calculation Agent will make an adjustment to the applicable Index Ratio as it determines to be necessary. 
  
 If at any time the method of calculating a Basket Index or a Successor Index, or the level of that index, is changed in a material respect, or if a Basket
Index or a Successor Index in any other way is modified so that it does not, in the opinion of the Calculation Agent, fairly represent the level of the Basket Index or the Successor Index had those changes or modifications not been made, then, from
and after that time, the Calculation Agent will notify the Corporation and the Trustee. The Calculation Agent will make those calculations and adjustments as, in the good faith judgment of the Calculation Agent, may be necessary in order to arrive
at a level of a stock index comparable to the applicable Basket Index or the Successor Index, as the case may be, as if those changes or modifications had not been made, and calculate the closing levels with reference to that Basket Index or the
Successor Index, as adjusted. Accordingly, if the method of calculating a Basket Index or a Successor Index is modified so that its level is a fraction of what it would have been if it had not been modified (e.g., due to a split in an index), then
the Calculation Agent will adjust the index in order to arrive at a level of the Basket Index or Successor Index as if it had not been modified (e.g., as if the split had not occurred). The Calculation Agent also may determine that no adjustment is
required by the modification of the method of calculation. 
  

 13 

 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, Successor Indices, Business Days, and the U.S. dollar/euro exchange rate. 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.
