Summary

The Capped Leveraged Index Return Notes^® Linked to the Rogers International Commodity Index^®– Excess Return^SM, due October 4, 2011 (the “LIRNs”) are our senior unsecured debt securities and are not guaranteed or insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or secured by collateral. The LIRNs will rank equally with all of our other unsecured and unsubordinated debt, and any payments due on the LIRNs, including any repayment of principal, will be subject to the credit risk of BAC. The LIRNs provide a leveraged return for investors, subject to a cap, if the level of the Rogers International Commodity Index^®– Excess Return^SM (the “Index”) increases moderately from the Starting Value of the Index, determined on the pricing date, to the Ending Value of the Index, determined on a calculation day shortly before the maturity date. Investors must be willing to forgo interest payments on the LIRNs and be willing to accept a return that is capped or a repayment that is less, and potentially significantly less, than the Original Offering Price of the LIRNs.

Capitalized terms used but not defined in this term sheet have the meanings set forth in product supplement LIRN-2. Unless otherwise indicated or unless the context requires otherwise, all references in this document to “we,” “us,” “our,” or similar references are to BAC.

Terms of the LIRNs

Issuer:	Bank of America Corporation (“BAC”)
Original Offering Price:	$10.00 per unit

TS-2

Hypothetical Payout Profile

This graph reflects the hypothetical returns on the LIRNs, based on the Participation Rate of 200%, the Threshold Value of 1,927.56, which is 90% of the Starting Value, and the Capped Value of $13.672 (a 36.72% return). The green line reflects the hypothetical returns on the LIRNs, while the dotted gray line reflects the hypothetical returns of a direct investment in the components of the Index.   This graph has been prepared for purposes of illustration only. Your actual return will depend on the actual Ending Value and the term of your investment.

Hypothetical Redemption Amounts

Examples

Set forth below are four examples of Redemption Amount calculations (rounded to three decimal places) payable at maturity, based upon the Participation Rate of 200%, the Downside Leverage Factor of 100%, the Starting Value of 2,141.73, the Threshold Value of 1,927.56, and the Capped Value of $13.672 (per unit).

Example 1—The hypothetical Ending Value is 70% of the Starting Value and is less than the Threshold Value:

Starting Value:	2,141.73
Hypothetical Ending Value:	1,499.21
Threshold Value:	1,927.56

$10 –	[	$10 ×	(	1,927.56 – 1,499.21	)	× 100%	]	= $8.000
				2,141.73

Redemption Amount (per unit) = $8.000

Example 2—The hypothetical Ending Value is 95% of the Starting Value and is greater than the Threshold Value:

Starting Value:	2,141.73
Hypothetical Ending Value:	2,034.64
Threshold Value:	1,927.56

Redemption Amount (per unit) = $10.000

If the Ending Value is less than or equal to the Starting Value but is greater than or equal to the Threshold Value, the Redemption Amount will equal the Original Offering Price.

Example 3—The hypothetical Ending Value is 110% of the Starting Value:

Starting Value:	2,141.73
Hypothetical Ending Value:	2,355.90

$10 +	[	$10 × 200% ×	(	2,355.90 – 2,141.73	)]	= $12.000
				2,141.73

Redemption Amount (per unit) = $12.000

Example 4—The hypothetical Ending Value is 150% of the Starting Value:

Starting Value:	2,141.73
Hypothetical Ending Value:	3,212.60

$10 +	[	$10 × 200% ×	(	3,212.60 – 2,141.73	)]	= $20.000
				2,141.73

Redemption Amount (per unit) = $13.672        (The Redemption Amount cannot be greater than the Capped Value.)

TS-3

The following table illustrates, for the Starting Value of 2,141.73, the Threshold Value of 1,927.56, which is 90% of the Starting Value, and a range of hypothetical Ending Values of the Index:

§ the percentage change from the Starting Value to the hypothetical Ending Value;

§ the hypothetical Redemption Amount per unit of the LIRNs (rounded to three decimal places);

§ the total rate of return to holders of the LIRNs;

§ the pretax annualized rate of return to holders of the LIRNs; and

§ the pretax annualized rate of return of a hypothetical direct investment in any futures contracts or the commodities included in or tracked by the Index (the Index Components and the Index Commodities (as defined below)).

The table below is based on the Participation Rate of 200%, the Downside Leverage Factor of 100%, and the Capped Value of $13.672 (per unit).

(1) The annualized rates of return specified in this column are calculated on a semi-annual bond equivalent basis and assume an investment term from October 6, 2009 to October 4, 2011, the term of the LIRNs.

(2) This rate of return assumes:

(a) a percentage change in the aggregate price of the Index Components and the Index Commodities that equals the percentage change in the level of the Index from the Starting Value to the relevant hypothetical Ending Value; and

(b) no transaction fees or expenses.

(3) This is the Threshold Value.

(4) This is the Starting Value.

(5) The Redemption Amount per unit of the LIRNs cannot exceed the Capped Value of $13.672.

The above figures are for purposes of illustration only. The actual amount you receive and the resulting total and pretax annualized rates of return will depend on the actual Ending Value and the term of your investment.

Risk Factors

There are important differences between the LIRNs and a conventional debt security. An investment in the LIRNs involves significant risks, including those listed below. You should carefully review the more detailed explanation of risks relating to the LIRNs in the “Risk Factors” sections included in product supplement LIRN-2 and the MTN prospectus supplement identified below under “Additional Terms.” We also urge you to consult your investment, legal, tax, accounting, and other advisors before you invest in the LIRNs.

§ Your investment may result in a loss; there is no guaranteed return of principal.

§ Your yield may be less than the yield on a conventional debt security of comparable maturity.

§ Your investment return, if any, is limited to the return represented by the Capped Value.

§ Your investment return, if any, may be less than a comparable investment directly in the Index or its components.

§ You must rely on your own evaluation of the merits of an investment linked to the Index.

§ In seeking to provide you with what we believe to be commercially reasonable terms for the LIRNs while providing the selling agents with compensation for their services, we have considered the costs of developing, hedging, and distributing the LIRNs.

§ A trading market is not expected to develop for the LIRNs.

§ The Redemption Amount will not be affected by all developments relating to the Index.

§ The RICI^® Committee (as defined below) chaired by James Beeland Rogers, Jr. (“Rogers”), may adjust the Index in a way that affects its level, and neither the RICI^® Committee nor Rogers have any obligation to consider your interests.

§ Ownership of the LIRNs will not entitle you to any rights with respect to the Index Components or the Index Commodities.

§ If you attempt to sell the LIRNs prior to maturity, their market value, if any, will be affected by various factors that interrelate in complex ways, and their market value may be less than their Original Offering Price.

§ Payments on the LIRNs are subject to our credit risk, and changes in our credit ratings are expected to affect the value of the LIRNs.

§ The prices of the Index Components or the Index Commodities may change unpredictably, affecting the value of the LIRNs in unforeseeable ways.

§ Suspensions or disruptions of market trading in the Index Components or the Index Commodities may adversely affect the value of the LIRNs.

§ The LIRNs will not be regulated by the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission.

§ The Index includes futures contracts traded on foreign exchanges that may be less regulated than U.S. markets.

§ Purchases and sales by us and our affiliates of futures or options contracts included in the Index may affect your return.

§ Our trading and hedging activities may create conflicts of interest with you.

§ Our hedging activities may affect your return on the LIRNs and their market value.

§ There may be potential conflicts of interest involving the calculation agent for the LIRNs. We have the right to appoint and remove the calculation agent.

§ The U.S. federal income tax consequences of the LIRNs are uncertain, and may be adverse to a holder of the LIRNs. See “Summary Tax Consequences” and “Certain U.S. Federal Income Taxation Considerations” below and “U.S. Federal Income Tax Summary” in product supplement LIRN-2.

Additional Risk Factors

Higher future prices of the Index Components and the Index Commodities relative to their current prices may decrease the Redemption Amount.

The Index is composed of futures contracts on physical commodities. Unlike equities, which typically entitle the holder to a continuing stake in a corporation, commodity futures contracts have a set expiration date and normally specify a certain date for delivery of the underlying physical commodity. In the case of the Index, as the exchange-traded futures contracts that comprise the Index approach the month before expiration, they are replaced by contracts that have a later expiration. This process is referred to as “rolling.” If the market for these contracts is (putting aside other considerations) in “backwardation,” where the prices are lower in the distant delivery months than in the nearer delivery months, the sale of the nearer delivery month contract would take place at a price that is higher than the price of the distant delivery month contract, thereby creating a positive “roll yield.” There is no indication that these markets will consistently be in backwardation or that there will be positive roll yield in future performance. Instead, these markets may trade in “contango.” Contango markets are those in which the prices of contracts are higher in the distant delivery months than in the nearer delivery months. Certain of the commodities included in the Index have historically traded in contango markets. The absence of backwardation in the commodity markets could result in negative “roll yields,” which could adversely affect the level of the Index and, accordingly, decrease the Redemption Amount.

The LIRNs include the risk of concentrated positions in one or more commodity sectors.

The exchange-traded physical commodities underlying the futures contracts included in the Index from time to time are heavily concentrated in a limited number of sectors, particularly energy and agriculture. An investment in the LIRNs may therefore carry risks similar to a concentrated securities investment in a limited number of industries or sectors. For example, of the initial weights of the Index, as announced by Beeland Interests, Inc. (“Beeland”), approximately 44.00% of the component commodities of the Index are energy-oriented, including 21.00% in crude oil contracts.

TS-5

Accordingly, a decrease in the value of these raw materials would adversely affect the performance of the Index. Technological advances or the discovery of new oil reserves could lead to increases in worldwide production of oil and corresponding decreases in the price of crude oil. In addition, further development and commercial exploitation of alternative energy sources, including solar, wind, or geothermal energy, could reduce the demand for crude oil products and result in lower prices. Absent amendment of the Index to lessen or eliminate the concentration of existing energy contracts in the Index or to broaden the Index to account for such developments, the level of the Index, and therefore, the value of the LIRNs could decline.

The composition of the Index is controlled by Rogers and changes to the Index may affect the value of the LIRNs and the Redemption Amount.

The Index is overseen and managed by a committee (the “RICI^® Committee”). Rogers chairs the RICI^® Committee and controls its decisions.

Rogers, through the RICI^® Committee, has a significant degree of discretion regarding the composition and management of the Index, including additions, deletions, and the weights of the Index Commodities (as defined below) or exchange-traded futures contracts on the Index Commodities. Any of these factors could affect the Index and, therefore, could affect the Redemption Amount and the market value of the LIRNs prior to maturity. Rogers and the RICI^® Committee do not have any obligation to take the interests of holders of the LIRNs into consideration when reweighting or making any other changes to the Index.

The LIRNs are linked to the Rogers International Commodity Index^®– Excess Return^SM, not the Rogers International Commodity Index^®– Total Return^SM.

The Rogers International Commodity Index^® – Excess Return^SM reflects returns that are potentially available through an unleveraged investment in the Index Components and Index Commodities. By comparison, the Rogers International Commodity Index^® – Total Return^SM is a total return index which, in addition to reflecting the same returns of the Rogers International Commodity Index^®– Excess Return^SM, also reflects interest that could be earned on cash collateral invested in three-month U.S. Treasury bills. Because the LIRNs are linked to the Rogers International Commodity Index^® – Excess Return^SM and not the Rogers International Commodity Index^® – Total Return^SM, the return from an investment in the LIRNs will not reflect this total return feature.

Trading and other transactions by Rogers in the futures contracts comprising the Index and the underlying commodities may affect the level of the Index.

Rogers, individually or through an entity controlled by Rogers, has in the past actively traded commodities and/or futures contracts on physical commodities, including underlying commodities and/or futures contracts on physical commodities included in the Index, and over-the-counter contracts having values which derive from or are related to such commodities. Rogers now invests in commodities only through Rogers index products, but could begin trading individual commodities and/or futures contracts on physical commodities again in the future. With respect to any of these activities, neither Rogers nor any of the entities controlled by Rogers has any obligation to take the interests of any buyers, sellers, or holders of the LIRNs into consideration at any time. These trading and hedging activities, by any of these parties, may affect the level of the Index and therefore the market value of the LIRNs.

Investor Considerations

You may wish to consider an investment in the LIRNs if:

§ You anticipate that the level of the Index will increase moderately from the Starting Value to the Ending Value.

§ You accept that your investment will result in a loss, which could be significant, if the level of the Index decreases from the Starting Value to an Ending Value that is less than the Threshold Value.

§ You accept that the return on the LIRNs will not exceed the return represented by the Capped Value.

§ You are willing to forgo interest payments on the LIRNs, such as fixed or floating rate interest paid on traditional interest bearing debt securities.

§ You seek exposure to the Index with no expectation of any rights with respect to any of the commodities or futures contracts included in or tracked by the Index.

§ You are willing to accept that a trading market is not expected to develop for the LIRNs. You understand that secondary market prices for the LIRNs, if any, will be affected by various factors, including our actual and perceived creditworthiness.

§ You are willing to make an investment, the payments on which depend on our creditworthiness, as the issuer of the LIRNs.

The LIRNs may not be an appropriate investment for you if:

§ You anticipate that the level of the Index will decrease from the Starting Value to the Ending Value or that the level of the Index will not increase sufficiently over the term of the LIRNs to provide you with your desired return.

§ You seek 100% principal protection or preservation of capital.

§ You seek a return on your investment that will not be capped at 36.72% over the Original Offering Price.

§ You seek interest payments or other current income on your investment.

§ You want to have rights with respect to the commodities and futures contracts included in or tracked by the Index.

§ You seek assurances that there will be a liquid market if and when you want to sell the LIRNs prior to maturity.

§ You are unwilling or are unable to assume the credit risk associated with us, as the issuer of the LIRNs.

TS-6

Other Provisions

We will deliver the LIRNs against payment therefor in New York, New York on a date that is greater than three business days following the pricing date. Under Rule 15c6-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in three business days, unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade the LIRNs more than three business days prior to the original issue date will be required to specify alternative settlement arrangements to prevent a failed settlement.

If you place an order to purchase the LIRNs, you are consenting to each of MLPF&S and its broker-dealer affiliate First Republic acting as a principal in effecting the transaction for your account.

Supplement to the Plan of Distribution

MLPF&S, First Republic, and Banc of America Investment Services, Inc. (“BAI”), each a broker-dealer subsidiary of BAC, are members of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (formerly the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (the “NASD”)) and will participate as selling agents in the distribution of the LIRNs. Accordingly, offerings of the LIRNs will conform to the requirements of NASD Rule 2720. Under our distribution agreement with the selling agents, MLPF&S will purchase the LIRNs from us on the issue date as principal at the purchase price indicated on the cover of this term sheet, less the indicated selling discount. In the original offering of the LIRNs, the LIRNs will be sold in minimum investment amounts of 100 units.

MLPF&S, First Republic, and BAI may use this Note Prospectus for offers and sales in secondary market transactions and market-making transactions in the LIRNs but are not obligated to engage in such secondary market transactions and/or market-making transactions. MLPF&S, First Republic, and BAI may act as principal or agent in these transactions, and any such sales will be made at prices related to prevailing market prices at the time of the sale.

Overview

The Rogers International Commodity Index^® (the “RICI^®”) may be calculated as either a total return index or an excess return index (collectively, the “RICI^® Indices”). The RICI^® Indices are composite, U.S. dollar-based, indices created by Rogers in the late 1990s. Neither we, the calculation agent, nor MLPF&S are affiliated with Rogers or Beeland, or participate in designing the RICI^® Indices. Merrill Lynch Commodities International is a representative on the RICI^® Committee (as defined below). The level of each of the RICI^® Indices is calculated by CQG, Inc. in its capacity as the Official Global Calculation Agent of the RICI^® Indices.

The Index is a composite U.S. dollar-based index that is designed by Rogers. The Index represents the value of a basket of commodities consumed in the global economy (the “Index Commodities”). The value of each component is based on closing prices of the corresponding futures contracts, each of which is valued as part of a fixed-weight portfolio (the “Index Components”). The selection and weighting of the portfolio that comprise the Index is reviewed by the RICI^® Committee not less than annually, and weights are assigned in the December preceding the start of each year.

Below is a list of the futures contracts included in the RICI^® Indices (the Index Components), together with their respective symbols, exchanges, currencies and the RICI^® Initial Weights (as defined below):

The RICI^® Indices

The RICI^® Committee

The RICI^® Indices are maintained and reviewed by the members of the Rogers International Commodity Index^® Committee (the “RICI^® Committee”). For the sake of transparency, consistency, and stability, composition changes are rare, and generally occur only after significant shifts in the world economy or markets. When such an event necessitates that one component be modified, the entire RICI^® Indices are reviewed. The RICI^® Committee members monitor the RICI^® Indices daily in case of needed changes. The RICI^® Committee bases its selection on world consumption patterns and liquidity.

Index Composition

The Process

The contracts chosen for the basket of commodities that are included in the RICI^® Indices are required to fulfill the various conditions described below. Generally, the selection and weights of the items in the RICI^® Indices are reviewed annually by the RICI^® Committee, and weights for the next year are assigned every December. The composition of the RICI^® Indices are modified only in rare occasions, in order to maintain investability and stability, and the composition of the RICI^® Indices generally will not be changed unless severe circumstances in fact occur. Such “severe circumstances” may include (but are not restricted to):

• continuous adverse trading conditions for a single contract (e.g., trading volume collapses); or

• critical changes in the global consumption pattern (e.g., scientific breakthroughs that fundamentally alter consumption of a commodity).

To date, there have been few changes in the components of the RICI^® Indices.

Exchanges and Non-Traded Items

All commodities included in the RICI^® Indices must be publicly traded on recognized exchanges in order to ensure ease of tracking and verification. The 11 international exchanges currently recognized by the RICI^® Committee are:

1. Chicago Mercantile Exchange (U.S.)

2. Chicago Board of Trade (U.S.)

3. ICE Futures US (U.S.)

4. NYMEX (U.S.)

5. ICE Futures Canada (Canada)

6. ICE Futures Europe (U.K.)

7. London Metal Exchange (U.K.)

8. Sydney Futures Exchange (Australia)

9. COMEX (U.S.)

10. The Tokyo Commodity Exchange (Japan)

11. Tokyo Grain Exchange (Japan)

General Contract Eligibility

A commodity may be considered suitable for inclusion in the RICI^® Indices if it plays a significant role in worldwide (developed and developing economies) consumption. “Worldwide consumption” is measured by tracking international import and export patterns, and domestic consumption environments of the world’s prime commodity consumers. Only raw materials that reflect the current state of international trade and commerce are eligible to be included in the RICI^® Indices. Commodities that are merely linked to national consumption patterns will not be considered. The RICI^® Indices are not related to any commodities production data.

Commodity Screening Process

Data of private and governmental providers concerning the world’s most consumed commodities is actively monitored and analyzed by the members of the RICI^® Committee throughout the year. In order to obtain the most accurate view of international commodities consumption, a wide range of sources on commodities demand and supply is consulted. The findings of this research are then condensed into the different commodities contracts weights included in the RICI^® Indices. Sources of data as to global commodity consumption include:

• Industrial Commodity Statistics Yearbook, United Nations (New York)

• Commodity Trade Statistics Database, United Nations Statistics Division (New York)

• Copper Bulletin Yearbook, International Copper Study Group (Lisbon)

• Foreign Agricultural Service’s Production, Supply and Distribution Database, U.S. Department of Agriculture (Washington, D.C.)

TS-9

• Manufactured Fiber Review, Fiber Economics Bureau, Inc. (Arlington, VA)

• Monthly Bulletin, International Lead and Zinc Study Group (London)

• Quarterly Bulletin of Cocoa Statistics, International Cocoa Organization (London)

• Rubber Statistical Bulletin, International Rubber Study Group (London)

• Statistical Bulletin Volumes, Arab Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) (Saudi Arabia)

• Sugar Yearbook, International Sugar Organization (ISO) (London)

• World Agriculture Assessments of Intergovernmental Groups, Food & Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (Rome)

• World Commodity Forecasts, Economist Intelligence Unit (London)

• World Cotton Statistics, International Cotton Advisory Committee (Washington, D.C.)

• World Metals Statistics, World Bureau of Metal Statistics (London)

Contract Characteristics

In order to determine whether a specific commodity contract is actually investable, the RICI^® Committee screens the volume and liquidity data of international exchanges, published on a regular basis by the American Futures Industry Association. Additionally, individual exchange data on contracts may also be included in the process.

If a commodity contract trades on more than one exchange, the most liquid contract globally, in terms of volume and open interest combined, is then selected for inclusion in the RICI^® Indices, taking legal considerations into account. Beyond liquidity, the RICI^® Committee seeks to include the contract representing the highest quality grade of a specific commodity.

Index Weights

Initial Weights

The initial weights of the futures contracts in the RICI^® Indices for 2009 were set at the end of January 2009 and are set forth in the table above (the “RICI^® Initial Weights”).

Changes in Weights and/or Index Composition

As noted, the RICI^® Committee reviews the selection and weights of the futures contracts in the RICI^® Indices annually. Thus, weights are potentially reassigned during each month of December for the following year, if the RICI^® Committee so determines in its sole discretion that it is necessary.

Monthly Rolling of Contracts

All the futures contracts used to calculate the RICI^® Indices, except for the contracts traded on the London Metal Exchange, are rolled each month under rules announced by Beeland. For contracts listed on the London Metal Exchange, three-month contracts are used and are rolled every three months. The RICI^® Indices usually roll over three days and the “roll period” usually starts on the day prior to the last RICI^® Business Day (as defined below) of the month and ends on the first RICI^® Business Day of the following month. On the last day of the roll period, the roll is completed unless the roll period is extended for a RICI^® Indices component as a result of a RICI^® Market Disruption Event (as defined below). Generally, if the next calendar month of a futures contract includes a first notice day, a delivery day or historical evidence that liquidity migrates to a next contract month during this period, then the next contract month is intended to be applied to calculate each of the RICI^® Indices, taking legal constraints into account. For example, at the end of November, the January crude oil contract is replaced by the February crude oil contract.

Rebalancing of the Index Components

The RICI^® Indices are rebalanced monthly during each roll period towards the RICI^® Initial Weights.

RICI^® Market Disruption Events

A “RICI^® Market Disruption Event” will be deemed to have occurred on any day upon which the trading of a contract involved in the Index calculation is disrupted or the fair determination of its price is interfered with, subject to the following:

a. The contract trades at the price set by the exchange to be the limit of its permissible trading range at any point in the last fifteen minutes of trading.

b. No settlement price for that contract is determined by midnight on the day of trading in the time zone in which the exchange is located.

c. The exchange upon which the contract trades closes trading in that contract at a time prior to the published closing time, unless the altered closing time was brought to public attention by the closing time on the trading day prior to the day in question.

d. The settlement closing price published by the exchange is not deemed, in the opinion of the RICI^® Committee, to properly reflect the fair price of that contract as determined by its free and fair trading on that exchange.

TS-10

If a RICI^® Market Disruption Event occurs during the roll or rebalancing period for one or more commodities, the specific contracts involved are neither rolled nor rebalanced on that day. For those contracts, the roll weights and the Monthly Contract Weights (“MCWs”) remain identical to the values they had on the RICI^® Business Day immediately preceding the RICI^® Market Disruption Event. The roll period and the rebalancing period will be extended for this or these particular commodities only until the next available business day upon which no RICI^® Market Disruption Event occurs for that or those commodities. Outside of the roll and rebalancing period, the Index is calculated using the last trading price available on the exchange. In particular, the calculation of the MCWs will, in the normal course of events, take place using the last price available regardless of whether a RICI^® Market Disruption Event has occurred. However, under extreme conditions, the RICI^® Committee reserves the right to adjust any prices used in the Index calculation. This may occur if the settlement price is deemed to materially differ from the fair price for that commodity determined by trading on that day and that use of the official settlement price would not be in the interest of Index investors. In this case, an alternative settlement price or prices may be determined and used for the Index calculation until fair trading is resumed and the exchange quoted settlement price can again be relied upon. In this case, the prices used in the calculation of the Index and the calculation of MCWs will be published along with the mechanism for their determination. Should any exchange amend the settlement price for a contract involved in the Index calculation and do so in a timely manner, the RICI^® Committee may, if deemed appropriate, reflect this change by adjusting the published level of the Index.

A “RICI^® Business Day” is a day on which all United States based exchanges that list futures contracts included in the RICI^® are open for business (including half-day opening).

Data Source

Each of the RICI^® Indices calculations is based on the official commodity exchanges’ prices of the futures contracts used.

Exceptional Occurrences

If, for any reason, one of the components included in the RICI^® Indices ceases to exist or its liquidity decreases to unacceptable levels, or any other similar event occurs with similar consequences, as determined at the discretion of the RICI^® Committee, the RICI^® Committee will call an exceptional meeting to assess the situation and decide on a replacement for this component or on a change in the weight. For example, following the fall of the Malaysian ringgit in 1998, the liquidity of the palm oil futures contract on the Kuala Lumpur Commodity Exchange decreased to a point where it became impossible to trade it. In that case, the RICI^® Committee called an exceptional meeting at which it was determined that the palm oil futures contract would be replaced by the soybean oil contract that trades on the Chicago Board of Trade.

Reference Rates

The foreign exchange rates used to convert the value of the futures contracts denominated in its original currency into U.S. dollars are determined according to market standards and practices and is adjusted by a “CRY Factor”. The “CRY Factor” is the adjusting factor used in the foreign currency conversion, and is either +1 or -1 depending on the currency.

If applicable, the daily reference rate used to calculate the RICI^® Indices is a function of the available reference rate, which is the 91-Day U.S. Treasury Bill (3 months) auction rate, designated as “High Rate” as published by the “Treasury Security Auction Results” report, published by the Bureau of Public Debt and available on Bloomberg USB3MTA Index <GO> or Reuters USAUCTION9. The rate is generally published once per week on Monday and effective on the RICI^® Business Day immediately following.

Changes to LME Contracts

The RICI^® Committee replaced the 3-month forward LME contract with the appropriate 3rd Wednesday contract and defined a new roll matrix for each LME contract included in the RICI^® Indices. For the new contracts, the real time calculation uses the last official price of the 3rd Wednesday contract adjusted by the real time change of the corresponding 3-month forward contract. This change was implemented during the January 2008 roll period.

The following graph sets forth the monthly historical performance of the Index in the period from January 2004 through August 2009. This historical data on the Index is not necessarily indicative of the future performance of the Index or what the value of the LIRNs may be. Any historical upward or downward trend in the level of the Index during any period set forth below is not an indication that the level of the Index is more or less likely to increase or decrease at any time over the term of the LIRNs. On the pricing date, the closing level of the Index was 2,141.73.

Before investing in the LIRNs, you should consult publicly available sources for the levels and trading pattern of the Index. The generally unsettled international environment and related uncertainties, including the risk of terrorism, may result in the Index and financial markets generally exhibiting greater volatility than in earlier periods.

Summary Tax Consequences

You should consider the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the LIRNs, including the following:

• You agree with us (in the absence of an administrative determination, or judicial ruling to the contrary) to characterize and treat the LIRNs for all tax purposes as a single financial contract with respect to the Index that requires you to pay us at inception an amount equal to the purchase price of the LIRNs and that entitles you to receive at maturity an amount in cash based upon the performance of the Index.

• Under this characterization and tax treatment of the LIRNs, upon receipt of a cash payment at maturity or upon a sale or exchange of the LIRNs prior to maturity, you generally will recognize capital gain or loss. This capital gain or loss generally will be long-term capital gain or loss if you held the LIRNs for more than one year.

Certain U.S. Federal Income Taxation Considerations

Set forth below is a summary of certain U.S. federal income tax considerations relating to an investment in the LIRNs. The following summary is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by the discussion under the section entitled “U.S. Federal Income Tax Summary” in product supplement LIRN-2, which you should carefully review prior to investing in the LIRNs.

General.    Although there is no statutory, judicial, or administrative authority directly addressing the characterization of the LIRNs, we intend to treat the LIRNs for all tax purposes as a single financial contract with respect to the Index that requires the investor to pay us at inception an amount equal to the purchase price of the LIRNs and that entitles the investor to receive at maturity an amount in cash based upon the performance of the Index. Under the terms of the LIRNs, we and every investor in the LIRNs agree, in the absence of an administrative determination or judicial ruling to the contrary, to treat the LIRNs as described in the preceding sentence. This discussion assumes that the LIRNs constitute a single financial contract with respect to the Index for U.S. federal income tax purposes. If the LIRNs did not constitute a single financial contract, the tax consequences described below would be materially different. The discussion in this section also assumes that there is a significant possibility of a significant loss of principal on an investment in the LIRNs.

This characterization of the LIRNs is not binding on the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) or the courts. No statutory, judicial, or administrative authority directly addresses the characterization of the LIRNs or any similar instruments for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and no ruling is being requested from the IRS with respect to their proper characterization and treatment. Due to the absence of authorities on point, significant aspects of the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the LIRNs are not certain, and no assurance can be given that the IRS or any court will agree with the characterization and tax treatment described in product supplement LIRN-2. Accordingly, you are urged to consult your tax advisor regarding all aspects of the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the LIRNs, including possible alternative characterizations.

Settlement At Maturity or Sale or Exchange Prior to Maturity.    Assuming that the LIRNs are properly characterized and treated as single financial contracts with respect to the Index for U.S. federal income tax purposes, upon receipt of a cash payment at maturity or upon a sale or exchange of the LIRNs prior to maturity, a U.S. Holder (as defined in product supplement LIRN-2) generally will recognize capital gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized and the U.S. Holder’s basis in the LIRNs. This capital gain or loss generally will be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder held the LIRNs for more than one year. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations.

Possible Future Tax Law Changes.    From time to time, there may be legislative proposals or interpretive guidance addressing the tax treatment of financial instruments such as the LIRNs. We cannot predict the likelihood of any such legislation or guidance being adopted, or the ultimate impact on the LIRNs. For example, on December 7, 2007, the IRS released Notice 2008-2 (“Notice”) seeking comments from the public on the taxation of financial instruments currently taxed as “prepaid forward contracts.” This Notice addresses instruments such as the LIRNs. According to the Notice, the IRS and Treasury are considering whether a holder of an instrument such as the LIRNs should be required to accrue ordinary income on a current basis, regardless of whether any payments are made prior to maturity. It is not possible to determine what guidance the IRS and Treasury will ultimately issue, if any. Any such future guidance may affect the amount, timing, and character of income, gain, or loss in respect of the LIRNs, possibly with retroactive effect. The IRS and Treasury are also considering additional issues, including whether additional gain or loss from such instruments should be treated as ordinary or capital, whether foreign holders of such instruments should be subject to withholding tax on any deemed income accruals, whether Section 1260 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, concerning certain “constructive ownership transactions,” generally applies or should generally apply to such instruments, and whether any of these determinations depend on the nature of the underlying asset. We intend to continue treating the LIRNs for U.S. federal income tax purposes in the manner described herein unless and until such time as we determine, or the IRS or Treasury determines, that some other treatment is more appropriate. Further, in August 2009, legislation was introduced in the U.S. Senate that proposes to treat as short-term capital gain or loss any capital gain or loss recognized from the sale or exchange of direct or derivative interests in (a) oil or natural gas (or any primary product of oil or natural gas) which is actively traded and (b) any index a “substantial portion” of which is based on commodities described in (a) above. If enacted in its current form, the legislation may treat any gain or loss on the LIRNs, which would otherwise be treated as long-term capital gain or loss, as short-term capital gain or loss. In addition, the proposed legislation may treat any such gain as taxable “unrelated business taxable income” of certain tax-exempt organizations. As currently drafted the legislation would apply to positions acquired after August 31, 2009 and before January 1, 2014. It is impossible to predict whether this legislation, or other similar legislation, will become law or the ultimate effective date of any such legislation. We urge you to consult your own tax advisors concerning the impact and the significance of the above considerations.

You should consult your own tax advisor concerning the U.S. federal income tax consequences to you of acquiring, owning, and disposing of the LIRNs, as well as any tax consequences arising under the laws of any state, local, foreign, or other tax jurisdiction and the possible effects of changes in U.S. federal or other tax laws. See the discussion under the section entitled “U.S. Federal Income Tax Summary” in product supplement LIRN-2.

Structured Investments Classification

MLPF&S classifies certain structured investments (the “Structured Investments”), including the LIRNs, into four categories, each with different investment characteristics. The description below is intended to briefly describe the four categories of Structured Investments offered: Principal Protection, Enhanced Income, Market Participation, and Enhanced Participation. A Structured Investment may, however, combine characteristics that are relevant to one or more of the other categories. As such, a category should not be relied upon as a description of any particular Structured Investment.

Principal Protection: Principal Protected Structured Investments offer full or partial principal protection against decreases in the value of the underlying market measure (or increases in the value of an underlying market measure for bearish Structured Investments), while offering market exposure and the opportunity for a better return than may be available from comparable fixed income securities. Principal protection may not be achieved if the investment is sold prior to maturity.

Enhanced Income: Structured Investments offering enhanced income may offer an enhanced income stream through interim fixed or variable coupon payments. However, in exchange for receiving current income, investors may forfeit upside potential on the underlying asset. These investments generally do not include the principal protection feature.

Market Participation: Market Participation Structured Investments can offer investors exposure to specific market sectors, asset classes, and/or strategies that may not be readily available through traditional investment alternatives. Returns obtained from these investments are tied to the performance of the underlying asset. As such, subject to certain fees, the returns will generally reflect any increases or decreases in the value of such assets. These investments generally do not include the principal protection feature.

Enhanced Participation: Enhanced Participation Structured Investments may offer investors the potential to receive better than market returns on the performance of the underlying asset. Some structures may offer leverage in exchange for a capped or limited upside potential and also in exchange for downside risk. These investments generally do not include the principal protection feature.

The classification of Structured Investments is meant solely for informational purposes and is not intended to fully describe any particular Structured Investment nor guarantee any particular performance.
