associated with directly investing in each underlying securities issuer&rsquo;s debt obligations. The underlying indenture and
the terms and conditions governing each underlying security may not limit the amount of indebtedness that may be incurred by the
relevant underlying securities issuer. In addition, an investment in the trust certificates represents an investment in the underlying
securities and most of the underlying securities are not listed on any securities exchange. The underlying securities are generally
purchased and sold through dealers who make a market in such securities for their own accounts, and there may be significant disparities
in the prices quoted for any of the underlying securities by securities dealers at any point in time. Therefore, the market for
any of the underlying securities is less liquid than the market for securities which are traded through a securities exchange
and the aggregate market value of a comparable amount of the underlying securities may be higher than the market price of the
trust certificates. You should consider the nature of each underlying security and the credit risk of each underlying securities
issuer before making an investment decision regarding the trust certificates.</FONT></P>

on the trust certificates depend primarily on principal and interest payments on the underlying securities. Some of these payments
are unsecured obligations of the underlying securities issuers. In any proceedings involving the insolvency, liquidation or winding
up of an underlying securities issuer, holders of unsecured securities of that underlying issuer will be paid only after the holders
of that underlying securities issuer&rsquo;s secured obligations are paid in full. As a result, you may not recover the principal
amount of your trust certificates attributable to such underlying security.</FONT></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin-bottom: 10pt; text-align: justify"><B><I>Incentive Compensation Recoupment Policy</I></B>&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin-bottom: 10pt; text-align: justify">This Incentive Compensation Recoupment Policy
(&ldquo;Policy&rdquo;) shall be administered by the Board of Directors (the &ldquo;Board&rdquo;) of Bank of America Corporation (the
&ldquo;Company&rdquo;) or an appropriate Board committee. Any determinations made by the Board or committee shall be final and binding
on all affected individuals. Additionally, this Policy incorporates by reference the requirements of Section 954 of the Dodd-Frank Wall
Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (regarding recovery of erroneously awarded compensation) and its implementing rules and regulations
thereunder and the New York Stock Exchange listing standards. This Policy operates in addition to any (a) recoupment provisions contained
in the terms of other compensation awards or programs, and (b) recoupment requirements imposed under applicable laws.&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin-bottom: 10pt; text-align: justify"><I><U>Covered Officers</U></I>&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin-bottom: 10pt; text-align: justify">This Policy applies to all of the Company&rsquo;s
current and former &ldquo;executive officers,&rdquo; as determined by the Board pursuant to Rule 16a-1(f) promulgated under the Exchange
Act (&ldquo;Covered Officers&rdquo;) and in accordance with Section 10D of the Exchange Act and the New York Stock Exchange listing standards.
This Policy shall be binding and enforceable against all such Covered Officers and their beneficiaries, heirs, executors, administrators
or other legal representatives.&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin-bottom: 10pt; text-align: justify"><I><U>Compensation Subject to Recoupment</U></I>&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin-bottom: 10pt; text-align: justify">For purposes of this Policy, covered compensation
subject to recoupment includes any non-equity incentive plan awards, bonuses paid to a Covered Officer from a bonus pool, cash awards,
equity or equity-based awards, or proceeds received upon sale of shares acquired through an incentive plan; provided that, such compensation
is granted, earned, and/or vested based wholly or in part on the attainment of a financial reporting measure (&ldquo;Incentive-based
Compensation&rdquo;). For purposes of this Policy, Incentive-based Compensation will also include any amounts which were determined based
on (or were otherwise calculated by reference to) Incentive-based Compensation. A financial reporting measure includes those found in
financial statements prepared under U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles or derived in whole or in part from such measure (e.g.,
total shareholder return, stock price, revenue, net income, return on assets, tangible book value).&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin-bottom: 10pt; text-align: justify">Incentive-based Compensation shall not include
any salaries, discretionary cash bonuses, non-equity incentive plan awards earned by a Covered Officer upon satisfying a strategic measure
or operational measure (e.g., completion of a project), or equity-based awards that are not contingent on achieving any financial reporting
measure.&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin-bottom: 10pt; text-align: justify"><I><U>Required Recoupment; Accounting Restatement</U></I>&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin-bottom: 10pt; text-align: justify">In the event the Company is required to prepare
an accounting restatement of its financial statements due to the Company&rsquo;s material noncompliance with any financial reporting
requirement under U.S. securities laws or regulations issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Board or applicable committee
shall require reimbursement, forfeiture, or other recovery of any excess Incentive-based Compensation (described below) received by any
Covered Officer during the applicable look-back period (described below). Covered accounting restatements include those that either (a)
correct an error in a previously issued financial statement that is material to such previously issued financial statement or (b) correct
an error that is not material to a previously issued financial statement, but would result in a material misstatement if left uncorrected
in a current report or the error correction was not recognized in the current period.&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin-bottom: 10pt; text-align: justify">The amount of excess Incentive-based Compensation
to be recouped due to a covered accounting restatement will be the amount the Covered Officer received in excess of the amount that would
have otherwise been received by the Covered Officer had the Incentive-based Compensation been determined based on the restated amounts,
calculated on a pre-tax basis. If the Board or committee cannot determine the amount of excess compensation received by the Covered Officer
directly from the information in the accounting restatement, then it shall make its determination based on a reasonable estimate of the
effect of the covered accounting restatement.&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="margin-bottom: 0px; font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; text-align: justify">The look-back period will be the three completed fiscal
years immediately preceding the earlier of the date on which (a) the Board or committee concludes or reasonably should have concluded
that an accounting restatement is required or (b) a court, regulator, or other legally authorized body directs a restatement.</P>

Misconduct</U></I>&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin-bottom: 10pt; text-align: justify">If the Board or an appropriate committee
has determined that any fraud or intentional misconduct by one or more Covered Officers caused, directly or indirectly, the Company to
restate its financial statements, the Board or committee shall take, in its sole discretion, such additional action, if any, as it deems
necessary to remedy the misconduct and prevent its recurrence. Notwithstanding the &ldquo;Compensation Subject to Recoupment&rdquo; and
&ldquo;Required Recoupment; Accounting Restatement&rdquo; sections above, this may include requiring reimbursement of any bonus or incentive
compensation awarded to such officers and/or the cancellation of unvested equity-based awards previously granted to such Covered Officers
in the amount by which compensation exceeded any lower payment that would have been made based on the restated financial results.<I>&nbsp;</I></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin-bottom: 10pt; text-align: justify"><I><U>Recoupment Method</U></I>&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin-bottom: 10pt; text-align: justify">The Board or committee may determine, in
its sole discretion, the method for recouping compensation from a Covered Officer reasonably promptly under this Policy including, without
limitation: (a) requiring reimbursement of cash previously paid; (b) seeking recoupment of any gain realized on the vesting, exercise,
settlement, sale, transfer, or other disposition of any equity or equity-based awards; (c) offsetting the recouped amount from any compensation
otherwise owed to the Covered Officer; (d) cancelling outstanding vested or unvested equity or equity-based awards; (e) forfeiting any
vested non-qualified deferred compensation account balances; and/or (f) taking any other remedial and recoupment action permitted by
law, as determined by the Board or committee. The Board or committee shall not be required to seek to recoup compensation under this
Policy if such recoupment would (i) be impracticable, (ii) violate home country laws, or (iii) likely cause an otherwise tax-qualified
retirement plan, under which benefits are broadly available to employees of the Company, to fail to meet the requirements of Section
401(a)(13) or Section 411(a) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended; each as determined by the Board or committee in accordance
with the New York Stock Exchange listing standards. Any such determination that recoupment is not required shall be evidenced by the
Board or committee.&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin-bottom: 10pt; text-align: justify">The Company shall not indemnify any Covered
Officers against the loss of any compensation resulting from the application of this Policy.</P>
