SUMMARY
This summary includes questions and answers that highlight selected information from this pricing supplement and the accompanying prospectus supplement
and prospectus to help you understand these notes. You should read carefully the entire pricing supplement, prospectus supplement, and prospectus to understand fully
the terms of the notes, as well as the tax and other considerations important to you in making a decision about whether to invest in the notes. In particular, you should
review carefully the section in this pricing supplement entitled "Risk Factors," which highlights a number of risks, to determine whether an investment in the notes is
appropriate for you. If information in this pricing supplement is inconsistent with the prospectus supplement or prospectus, this pricing supplement will supersede those
documents.
Certain capitalized terms used and not defined in this pricing supplement have the meanings ascribed to them in the prospectus supplement and prospectus.
You are urged to consult with your own attorneys and business and tax advisors before making a decision to purchase any of the notes.
Payments on the notes depend on our credit risk and on the performance of the CMS30 relative to the CMS5. The economic terms of the notes are based on the
rate we would pay to borrow funds through the issuance of market-linked notes and the economic terms of certain related hedging arrangements we enter into. The
implied borrowing rate for market-linked notes is typically lower than the rate we would pay when we issue conventional fixed or floating rate debt securities. This
difference in borrowing rate, as well as the underwriting discount and the hedging related charges described below, reduced the economic terms of the notes to you and
the initial estimated value of the notes. Due to these factors, the public offering price you pay to purchase the notes is greater than the initial estimated value of the notes.
As of the pricing date, the initial estimated value of the notes is $868.60 per $1,000 in principal amount. For more information about the initial estimated value
and the structuring of the notes, see "Risk Factors" beginning on page PS-9 and "Structuring the Notes" on page PS-22.
The information in this "Summary" section is qualified in its entirety by the more detailed explanation set forth elsewhere in this pricing supplement and the
accompanying prospectus supplement and prospectus. You should rely only on the information contained in this pricing supplement and the accompanying prospectus
supplement and prospectus. We have not authorized any other person to provide you with different information. If anyone provides you with different or inconsistent
information, you should not rely on it. Neither we nor the selling agent is making an offer to sell these notes in any jurisdiction where the offer or sale is not permitted.
You should assume that the information in this pricing supplement, the accompanying prospectus supplement, and prospectus is accurate only as of the date on their
respective front covers.
Unless otherwise indicated or unless the context requires otherwise, all references in this pricing supplement to "we," "us," "our," or similar references are to
Bank of America Corporation.
What are the notes?
The notes are senior debt securities issued by Bank of America Corporation, and are not guaranteed or insured by the FDIC or secured by collateral. The
notes will rank equally with all of our other unsecured senior indebtedness from time to time outstanding, and any payments due on the notes, including any
repayment of principal, will be subject to our credit risk. The notes will mature on August 6, 2033.
The notes differ from traditional debt securities in that their return is linked to the performance of the 30-year and 5-year U.S. Dollar Constant Maturity Swap
Rates. The notes are designed for investors who wish to receive quarterly interest income, and are willing to accept that after the first four quarterly interest periods, the
amount of interest payable depends on the amount by which the 30-year U.S. Dollar Constant Maturity Swap Rate exceeds the 5-year U.S. Dollar Constant Maturity
Swap Rate (such amount, which may be negative, the "Spread Differential") as of the applicable interest determination date, as

described below. However, in no event will the interest rate applicable to any interest period be greater than 10.00% per annum or less than 0.00% per annum. Interest
payable on the notes after August 6, 2014 may be more or less than the rate that we would pay on a conventional fixed-rate or floating-rate debt security with the same
maturity, and may be 0.00% per annum.
Investors in the notes should have a view as to U.S. Dollar Constant Maturity Swap Rates and related interest rate movements, must be willing to forgo
guaranteed market rates of interest for most of the term of their investment in the notes, and must be willing to accept that the interest rate after the first four quarterly
interest periods is capped at 10.00% per annum and may be 0.00% per annum.
Will you receive interest on the notes?
Yes. During the first four quarterly interest periods, interest on the notes will accrue at the rate of 10.00% per annum; and during subsequent quarterly interest
periods, the amount of interest will depend on the Spread Differential, determined as of the applicable interest determination date, as described in this pricing
supplement. However, in no event will the interest rate applicable to any interest period be greater than 10.00% per annum or less than 0.00% per annum. Interest will
be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.
Will you receive your principal at maturity?
Yes. If you hold the notes until maturity, you will receive your principal amount and any accrued and unpaid interest on the notes, subject to our credit risk. See
"Risk Factors--Payments on the notes are subject to our credit risk, and changes in our credit ratings are expected to affect the value of the notes." However, if you sell
the notes prior to maturity, you may find that the market value of the notes may be less than the principal amount of the notes.
How will the quarterly rate of interest on the notes be determined?
For each quarterly interest period, the calculation agent will determine the applicable annualized interest rate as follows:
(a) From and including August 6, 2013 to but excluding August 6, 2014, interest on the notes will accrue at the rate of 10.00% per annum.
(b) During each subsequent quarterly interest period beginning on August 6, 2014, interest will accrue at a rate per annum equal to:
4.75 × (CMS30 CMS5)
In no event will the interest rate applicable to any interest period be greater than 10.00% per annum or less than 0.00% per annum.
There can be no assurance that the interest rate payable on the notes during these quarterly interest periods will be similar to, or greater than, the interest that is
payable on a conventional debt security.
Each quarterly interest period (other than the first quarterly interest period) will commence on, and will include, an interest payment date, and will extend to,
but will exclude, the next succeeding interest payment date. The first quarterly interest period will commence on, and will include, August 6, 2013, and will extend to,
but will exclude, November 6, 2013.
The interest due for each quarterly interest period will be paid on the following interest payment dates: February 6, May 6, August 6 and November 6 of each
year, beginning on November 6, 2013, and ending on the maturity date.
"CMS30" means the 30-year U.S. Dollar Constant Maturity Swap Rate, expressed as a percentage, as quoted on the Reuters Screen ISDAFIX3 Page, at 11:00
a.m., New York City time, on the applicable interest determination date.

"CMS5" means the 5-year U.S. Dollar Constant Maturity Swap Rate, expressed as a percentage, as quoted on the Reuters Screen ISDAFIX3 Page, at 11:00
a.m., New York City time, on the applicable interest determination date.
The "interest determination date" for each quarterly interest period after the first four quarterly interest periods will be the second U.S. Government Securities
Business Day (as defined below) prior to the beginning of the applicable quarterly interest period.
A "U.S. Government Securities Business Day" means any day, other than a Saturday, Sunday, or a day on which the Securities Industry and Financial Markets
Association (or any successor thereto) recommends that the fixed income departments of its members be closed for the entire day for purposes of trading in U.S.
government securities.

Examples: Below are three examples of the calculation of the annualized interest rate payable on a quarterly interest payment date after August 6, 2014 for the
notes. These examples are for purposes of illustration only. The actual annualized interest rate to be applied in calculating the interest payable on the notes for any
quarterly interest period after the first four quarterly interest periods will depend on the actual levels of CMS30 and CMS5 and the actual Spread Differential (i.e.,
CMS30 CMS5) on the applicable interest determination date.
Example 1: The hypothetical CMS30 is substantially greater than the hypothetical CMS5 on the interest determination date
Hypothetical CMS30:
6.25%
Hypothetical CMS5:
2.00%
4.75 × (6.25% 2.00%) = 20.19%
Interest rate payable for that quarterly interest period = 10.00% per annum (the interest rate cannot be greater than 10.00% per annum)
Example 2: The hypothetical CMS30 is greater than the hypothetical CMS5 on the interest determination date:
Hypothetical CMS30:
3.25%
Hypothetical CMS5:
2.35%
4.75 × (3.25% 2.35%) = 4.28%
Interest rate payable for that quarterly interest period = 4.28% per annum
Example 3: The hypothetical CMS30 is less than the hypothetical CMS5 on the interest determination date:
Hypothetical CMS30:
3.75%
Hypothetical CMS5:
4.00%
4.75 × (3.75% 4.00%) = -1.19%
Interest rate payable for that quarterly interest period = 0.00% per annum (the interest rate cannot be less than 0.00% per annum)

Is it possible that I will not receive any interest for any quarterly interest period after the first four quarterly interest periods?
Yes. After the first four quarterly interest periods, if the Spread Differential is less than or equal to zero on the applicable interest determination date, you will
not receive any interest for that period. This will be the case for an interest period even if the Spread Differential exceeds zero on one or more days after the applicable
interest determination date.
After the first four quarterly interest periods, is the interest rate on the notes limited in any way?
Yes. The interest rate payable on the notes in all quarterly interest periods will not exceed 10.00% per annum, even if CMS30 significantly exceeds CMS5 on
each interest determination date.
Who will determine the interest rate applicable to each interest amount?
A calculation agent will make all the calculations associated with determining each interest payment. We have appointed our subsidiary, Merrill Lynch Capital
Services, Inc. ("MLCS"), to act as calculation agent. See the section entitled "Description of the Notes--Role of the Calculation Agent."
What do CMS30 and CMS5 measure?
CMS30 and CMS5 are "constant maturity swap rates" that measure the fixed rate of interest payable on a hypothetical fixed-for-floating U.S. dollar interest
rate swap transaction with a maturity of 30 years and five years, respectively. In such a hypothetical swap transaction, the fixed rate of interest, payable semi-annually
on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months, is exchangeable for a floating 3-month LIBOR-based payment stream that is payable quarterly on the
basis of the actual number of days elapsed during a quarterly period in a 360-day year. "LIBOR" is the London Interbank Offered Rate and is a common rate of interest
used in the swaps industry. See the section entitled "The 30-Year U.S. Dollar Constant Maturity Swap Rate (CMS30) and The 5-Year U.S. Dollar Constant Maturity
Swap Rate (CMS5)." The Spread Differential measures the steepness of the swap rate curve from the five-year maturity point to the 30-year maturity point on the curve.
What have been the historic levels of CMS30 and CMS5?
We have included a table and a graph showing the historical month-end and daily spread, respectively, between CMS30 and CMS5 from January 2008 through
July 2013, in the section entitled "The 30-Year U.S. Dollar Constant Maturity Swap Rate (CMS30) and The 5-Year U.S. Dollar Constant Maturity Swap Rate (CMS5)."
We have provided this historical information to help you evaluate the behavior of these rates in various periods. However, past behavior of these rates is not
necessarily indicative of how they will perform in the future.
Who is the selling agent for the notes?
Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated ("MLPF&S") is acting as our selling agent in connection with this offering and will be compensated based
on the total principal amount of notes sold. The selling agent is not your fiduciary or advisor solely as a result of the offering of the notes, and you should not rely upon
this pricing supplement, or the accompanying prospectus or prospectus supplement as investment advice or a recommendation to purchase the notes. You should make
your own investment decision regarding the notes after consulting with your legal, tax, and other advisors.
How are the notes being offered?
We have registered the notes with the SEC in the U.S. However, we are not registering the notes for public distribution in any jurisdiction other than the U.S.
The selling agent may solicit offers to purchase the notes from non-U.S. investors in reliance on available private placement exemptions. See the section entitled
"Supplemental Plan of Distribution--Selling Restrictions" in the prospectus supplement.

How are the notes treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes?
We intend to take the position that the notes will be treated as contingent payment debt instruments for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Assuming the notes
are properly treated as contingent payment debt instruments, you will be required to include income on the notes over their term based upon a comparable yield.
If you are a Non-U.S. Holder, payments on the notes generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income or withholding tax, as long as you provide us with the
required completed tax forms.
See the section entitled "U.S. Federal Income Tax Summary."
Will the notes be listed on an exchange?
No. The notes will not be listed on any securities exchange, and a market for them may never develop.
Does ERISA impose any limitations on purchases of the notes?
Yes. An employee benefit plan subject to the fiduciary responsibility provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (commonly referred
to as "ERISA") or a plan that is subject to Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the "Code," including individual retirement accounts,
individual retirement annuities or Keogh plans, or any entity the assets of which are deemed to be "plan assets" under the ERISA regulations, should not purchase, hold,
or dispose of the notes unless that plan or entity has determined that its purchase, holding, or disposition of the notes will not constitute a non-exempt prohibited
transaction under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code.
Any plan or entity purchasing the notes will be deemed to be representing that it has made such determination, or that a prohibited transaction class exemption
("PTCE") or other statutory or administrative exemption exists and can be relied upon by such plan or entity. See the section entitled "ERISA Considerations."
Are there any risks associated with your investment?
Yes. An investment in the notes is subject to risk. Please refer to the section entitled "Risk Factors" on the next page of this pricing supplement and page S-5 of
the prospectus supplement.

RISK FACTORS
Your investment in the notes entails significant risks, many of which differ from those of a conventional security. Your decision to purchase the notes
should be made only after carefully considering the risks of an investment in the notes, including those discussed below, with your advisors in light of your
particular circumstances. The notes are not an appropriate investment for you if you are not knowledgeable about significant elements of the notes or financial
matters in general.
It is possible that after the first four quarterly interest periods, you may not earn a return on your investment. The interest payable on the notes during
any quarterly interest period, except for the first four quarterly interest periods, will depend on the Spread Differential, determined as of the relevant interest
determination date. As a result, you could receive little or no payment of interest on one or more of the interest payment dates (except for the first four interest payment
dates) during the term of the notes. If the Spread Differential is constantly less than or equal to zero on each interest determination date over the term of the notes, even if
the Spread Differential exceeds zero during other days during each quarterly interest period, your return on the notes would be limited to the first four quarterly fixed
interest payments.
We have no control over various matters, including economic, financial and political events, which may affect the levels of CMS30 and CMS5, and thus the
Spread Differential. In recent years, the Spread Differential has been volatile, and such volatility may be expected in the future. However, historical performance is not
necessarily indicative of what may occur in the future. You should have a view as to U.S. Dollar Constant Maturity Swap Rates and related interest rate movements, and
must be willing to forgo guaranteed market rates of interest for most of the term of the notes, before investing.
Your return is limited by the cap on the interest rate. The interest rate applicable to any interest period will not be greater than 10.00% per annum.
Accordingly, if the Spread Differential exceeds zero on any interest determination date during the term of the notes, your return on the notes may not reflect the full
extent of that differential.
Your yield may be less than the yield on a conventional debt security of comparable maturity. The yield that you receive on the notes may be less than the
return you would earn if you purchased a conventional debt security with the same maturity date. As a result, your investment in the notes may not reflect the full
opportunity cost to you when you consider factors that affect the time value of money.
Payments on the notes are subject to our credit risk, and actual or perceived changes in our creditworthiness are expected to affect the value of the
notes. The notes are our senior unsecured debt securities. As a result, your receipt of all payments of interest and principal on the notes is dependent upon our ability to
repay our obligations on the applicable payment date. This will be the case even if the difference between CMS30 and CMS5 increases after the pricing date. No
assurance can be given as to what our financial condition will be at any time during the term of the notes or on the maturity date. If we default upon our financial
obligations, you may not receive the amounts payable under the terms of the notes.
Our credit ratings are an assessment by ratings agencies of our ability to pay our obligations. Consequently, our perceived creditworthiness and actual or
anticipated decreases in our credit ratings or increases in our credit spreads prior to the maturity date of the notes may adversely affect the market value of the notes.
However, because your return on the notes depends upon factors in addition to our ability to pay our obligations, such as the difference between CMS30 and CMS5
during the term of the notes, an improvement in our credit ratings will not reduce the other investment risks related to the notes.
You must rely on your own evaluation of the merits of an investment linked to U.S. Dollar Constant Maturity Swap Rates. In the ordinary course of their
businesses, we or our affiliates may have expressed views on expected movements in the U.S. Dollar Constant Maturity Swap Rates and related interest rates, and may
do so in the future. These views or reports may be communicated to our clients and clients of our affiliates. However, these views are subject to change from time to
time. Moreover, other professionals who deal in markets relating to U.S. Dollar Constant Maturity Swap Rates may at any time have significantly different views from
those of ours or our affiliates. For these reasons, you are
