(a) Amount of Pre-2005 Traditional Benefit:    The amount of the Pre-2005 Traditional Benefit payable under the Plan to a Traditional Participant (or to the Traditional Participant’s Beneficiary, in the event of the Traditional Participant’s death) is the Traditional Participant’s accrued benefit as of December 31, 2004 determined in accordance with subsection (b) of this Section, valued as a single life annuity at the Traditional Participant’s Benefit Commencement Date using Basic Plan assumptions in effect at the Traditional Participant’s Delink Calculation Date.

(b) Traditional Participant’s Accrued Benefit as of December 31, 2004:    A Traditional Participant’s accrued benefit as of December 31, 2004 is equal to Amount A minus Amount B, assuming benefits commence on January 1, 2005 as a single life annuity and based on the Traditional Participant’s Vesting Service through December 31, 2004 and age as of January 1, 2005, where:

(ii) Amount B is the amount of the accrued benefit payable to the Traditional Participant (or Beneficiary) under the Basic Plan as of December 31, 2004.

6

Section and (ii) the lump sum value of the Traditional Participant’s accrued benefit as of December 31, 2004 (determined in accordance with Section 3.1(b)) as of the first day of the month on or after the Traditional Participant’s Delink Calculation Date using the Basic Plan assumptions in effect on the first day of the month on or after the Traditional Participant’s Delink Calculation Date (but not less than zero). The Post-2004 Traditional Benefit is valued as of the Traditional Participant’s Benefit Commencement Date using Basic Plan assumptions.

(b) Lump Sum Value of Total Accrued Benefit:    The lump sum value of the total accrued benefit payable under the Plan to a Traditional Participant (or to the Traditional Participant’s Beneficiary, in the event of the Traditional Participant’s death) at the Traditional Participant’s Delink Calculation Date is equal to Amount A minus Amount B, assuming that benefits commence as of the first day of the month on or after the Traditional Participant’s Delink Calculation Date as a single life annuity and based on the Traditional Participant’s Vesting Service and age as of the Traditional Participant’s Delink Calculation Date, valued as a lump sum using the Basic Plan assumptions in effect on the first day of the month on or after the Traditional Participant’s Delink Calculation Date where:

(b) Total Account Balance at Delink Calculation Date:    The total account balance at Delink Calculation Date is determined as Amount A minus Amount B, based on the Basic Plan assumptions and the Cash Balance Participant’s Vesting Service and age as of the Delink Calculation Date where:

8

(i) Amount A is the amount of the benefit the Cash Balance Participant (or Beneficiary) would have been entitled to receive under the Basic Plan as of the Cash Balance Participant’s Delink Calculation Date (expressed as a lump sum if not otherwise a lump sum) if “earnings” under the Basic Plan included deferrals of base pay, commissions or non-discretionary incentive pay made under the Bank of America 401(k) Restoration Plan; provided, however, that if the limits of Section 1.14(iv) of the Basic Plan apply to the Cash Balance Participant, such deferrals will be taken into account under this subsection only to the extent the deferrals, when added to the commissions, non-discretionary incentive pay and actual base pay previously counted under the Basic Plan in the same year, do not exceed the limit described in Section 1.14(iv) of the Basic Plan, and “earnings” under the Basic Plan were not limited by Section 401(a)(17) of the Code but were limited to an annual maximum of $250,000, and the limitations of Section 415 of the Code (and provisions of the Basic Plan applying those limitations) did not exist; and

(ii) Amount B is the benefit payable to the Cash Balance Participant (or Beneficiary) under the Basic Plan as of the Cash Balance Participant’s Delink Calculation Date (expressed as a lump sum if not otherwise a lump sum).

Notwithstanding anything in this subsection to the contrary, if a Cash Balance Participant experiences a Termination of Employment during the Plan Year and is rehired within the same Plan Year, such Cash Balance Participant’s “earnings” for the Plan Year may exceed $250,000 only to the extent necessary to allow such Cash Balance Participant to reach the Section 401(a)(17) of the Code limit in the Basic Plan.

9

treated as effective unless filed with the Global Human Resources Group at least one year before the Cash Balance Participant’s Termination of Employment, except that a Cash Balance Participant may file an election, which will be treated as effective, before the Cash Balance Participant’s Termination of Employment if (A) the election substitutes one form of annuity distribution for another form of annuity distribution that had been timely elected and (B) such later-elected form is the form of distribution that the Cash Balance Participant elects under the Basic Plan.

(ii) A Cash Balance Participant who does not have a valid, timely election in effect for the Pre-2005 Cash Balance Benefit on the day before such Cash Balance Participant’s Termination of Employment shall have the Pre-2005 Cash Balance Benefit promptly paid out in a lump sum following Termination of Employment.

(iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section, if the value of a Cash Balance Participant’s Pre-2005 Cash Balance Benefit under the Plan at the time of Termination of Employment is $10,000 or less, the Cash Balance Participant’s Pre-2005 Cash Balance Benefit shall be paid out in a lump sum as soon as administratively practicable following Termination of Employment.

(c) Death Benefits: In the event of the death of the Participant, Pre-2005 Benefits under the Plan will become payable to the Participant’s Beneficiary, under the same terms and conditions specified in the Basic Plan.

Absent such a payment election, the Participant’s Post-2004 Benefit will be paid in a single lump sum during the first 90 days of the calendar year following the Participant’s Termination of Employment unless the Participant subsequently changes the payment election as provided in subsection (c) of this Section.

(b) Available Payment Methods:    Subject to the provisions of Section 3.8, effective January 1, 2007, for the payment of Post-2004 Benefits, a Participant’s vested Post-2004 Benefit shall be paid in a single lump sum during the first 90 days of the calendar year following the Participant’s Termination of Employment unless the Participant elects to receive payment of such Participant’s vested Post-2004 Benefit in one of the following forms:

10

(i) Lump Sum Payment in Specified Year:    A single lump sum during the first 90 days of the later of (A) the calendar year following the Participant’s Termination of Employment and (B) the calendar year elected by the Participant (but no later than the calendar year in which the Participant reaches age 75).

(ii) Annual Installments Commencing following Termination of Employment:    Annual installment payments over a period of years elected by the Participant not to exceed 10 commencing during the first 90 days of the calendar year following the Participant’s Termination of Employment.

(c) Subsequent Changes to Payment Elections:    A Participant may change the timing or form of payment applicable under subsection (b) of this Section, or the timing or form of payment subsequently elected under this subsection, with respect to the Post-2004 Benefit only if (i) such election is made at least 12 months prior to January 1 of the Plan Year in which the payment of the vested Post-2004 Benefit would have otherwise been made or commenced and (ii) the effect of such election is to defer such payment by at least 5 years; provided, however, that no election to change the timing or form of payment may be made if the date the payment of the vested Post-2004 Benefit would have otherwise been made or commenced is less than 5 years from the calendar year in which the Participant would have attained age 75. In the event that a Participant’s election made pursuant to this subsection does not comply with the requirements of this subsection, such election shall be void and the timing and form of payment in effect at the time of such voided election governs.

(d) Timing and Amount of Annual Installments:    Subject to the provisions of Section 3.8, for a vested Post-2004 Benefit payable as annual installments under subsection (b)(ii) or (b)(iii) of this Section, the first installment shall be paid during the first 90 days of the calendar year following the Participant’s Termination of Employment or the calendar year elected by the Participant, as applicable, and each subsequent installment shall be paid during the first 90 days of each subsequent calendar year during the elected payment period. The amount of each installment payment shall equal the Post-2004 Benefit as of the last business day immediately preceding the applicable payment date divided by the number of remaining installments (including the installment then payable).

11

3.7 Payment of Post-2004 Benefits to New Participants after August 28, 2006

(a) Timing and Form of Payment:    Subject to the provisions of subsection (b) of this Section and Section 3.8, the vested Post-2004 Benefit of a Participant who first becomes a Participant after August 28, 2006 shall be payable during the first 90 days of the calendar year following the Plan Year in which the Participant’s Termination of Employment occurs in a single lump sum payment.

(b) Subsequent Changes to Timing of Payment:    A Participant may change the timing (but not the form) of payment provided under subsection (a) of this Section, or the timing (but not the form) of payment subsequently elected under this subsection, with respect to the Post-2004 Benefit only if (i) such election is made at least 12 months prior to[Confirm this is consistent with administration:January 1 of the Plan Year in which the payment of the Post-2004 Benefit would have otherwise been made] and (ii) the effect of such election is to defer such payment by at least 5 years; provided, however, that no election to change the timing of payment may be made if the date the payment of the Post-2004 Benefit would have otherwise commenced is less than 5 years from the calendar year in which the Participant would have attained age 75.In the event that a Participant’s election made pursuant to this subsection does not comply with the requirements of this subsection, such election shall be void and the timing of payment in effect at the time of such voided election governs.

All interpretations, decisions and determinations made by the Committee will be binding on all persons concerned. No member of the Committee who is a Participant in the Plan may vote or otherwise participate in any decision or act with respect to a matter relating solely to such member (or to such member’s Beneficiaries). Not in limitation, but in amplification, of the foregoing provisions of this Section, the Committee has the duty and power to modify or supplement any Plan accounting method, practice or procedure, make any adjustments to accounts or modify or supplement any other aspect of the operation or administration of the Plan in such manner and to such extent consistent with and permitted by the Code that the Committee deems necessary or appropriate to correct errors and mistakes, to effect proper and equitable account adjustments or otherwise to ensure the proper and appropriate administration and operation of the Plan.

ARTICLE V

AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION OF PLAN

5.1 Amendment and Termination

The Plan may be amended or terminated in writing by the Committee or the Company in any manner at any time.

ARTICLE VI

MISCELLANEOUS

6.1 Assignment or Alienation

(a) Except as provided in subsection (b) of this Section or as otherwise required by applicable law, the interest hereunder of any Participant or Beneficiary shall not be alienable by the Participant or Beneficiary by assignment or any other method and will not be subject to be taken by the Participant’s or Beneficiary’s creditors by any process whatsoever, and any attempt to cause such interest to be so subjected shall not be recognized.

(b) All or a portion of a Participant’s benefit under the Plan may be paid to another person as specified in a “Qualified Domestic Relations Order.” For this purpose, a “Qualified Domestic Relations Order” means a judgment, decree, or order (including the approval of a settlement agreement) which is:

(i) issued pursuant to a State’s domestic relations law;

(ii) relates to the provision of child support, alimony payments or marital property rights to a spouse, former spouse, child or other dependent of the Participant;

(iii) creates or recognizes the right of a spouse, former spouse, child or other dependent of the Participant to receive all or a portion of the Participant’s benefits under the Plan;

(iv) provides for payment in an immediate lump sum as soon as practicable after the Committee determines that a Qualified Domestic Relations Order exists; and

(v) meets such other requirements established by the Committee.

(c) The Committee shall determine whether any document received by it is a Qualified Domestic Relations Order. In making this determination, the Committee may consider:

(i) the rules applicable to “domestic relations orders” under Section 414(p) of the Code and Section 206(d) of ERISA;

(ii) the procedures used under the Basic Plan to determine the qualified status of domestic relations orders; and

(iii) such other rules and procedures as it deems relevant.

16

6.2 Limitation of Rights

Neither the establishment of the Plan, nor any amendment thereof, nor the payment of any benefits will be construed as giving any individual any legal or equitable right against the Company, any Participating Employer, or the Committee. In no event will the Plan be deemed to constitute a contract between any Employee and the Company, a Participating Employer, or the Committee. The Plan shall not be deemed to be consideration for, or an inducement for, the performance of services by any employee of a Participating Employer.

6.3 Receipt and Release

Any payment under the Plan to any Participant or Beneficiary, or to any individual as described in Section 6.12 shall be in satisfaction of all claims with respect to benefits under the Plan against the Company, any Participating Employer, and the Committee.

6.4 Governing Law

The Plan will be construed, administered, and governed in accordance with the laws of the State of North Carolina, except to the extent such laws are preempted by federal law.

6.5 Status Under ERISA

The Plan is maintained for purposes of providing deferred compensation for a select group of management or highly compensated employees. In addition, to the extent that the Plan makes up benefits limited under the Basic Plan as a result of Section 415 of the Code, the Plan shall be considered an “excess benefit plan” within the meaning of ERISA.

6.6 Compliance with Section 409A of the Code

The Plan is intended to comply with Section 409A of the Code, with respect to amounts earned or vested under the Plan after 2004. Further, the Plan is intended to be operated and administered in a manner (a) that will not constitute a “material modification” of the Plan for purposes of the effective date provisions of Section 409A of the Code or (b) that would otherwise cause amounts earned and vested prior to 2005 to become subject to the requirements of Section 409A of the Code. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, the Plan shall be interpreted, operated and administered in a manner consistent with this intent.

6.7 Severability

If any provision of the Plan is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall continue to be fully effective.

17

6.8 Headings and Subheadings

Headings and subheadings are inserted for convenience only and are not to be considered in the construction of the provisions of the Plan.

6.9 Nonduplication of Benefits

The benefits payable to a Participant under this Plan shall be reduced on an Actuarial Equivalent basis by the benefit such Participant earned under any other similar nonqualified excess defined benefit plan that does not provide for a reduction of benefits under such plan, for benefits payable under this Plan, to the extent that the benefits under such plan were accrued upon the Participant’s service that was included as credited service under this Plan.

6.10 Social Security Tax

Subject to the requirements of Section 3121(v)(2) of the Code, the Committee has the full discretion and authority to determine when Federal Insurance Contribution Act (“FICA”) taxes on a Participant’s Plan benefit or account are paid and whether any portion of such FICA taxes shall be withheld from the Participant’s wages or deducted from the Participant’s benefit or account.

6.11 Claims Procedure

Any claim for benefits under the Plan by a Participant or Beneficiary shall be made in accordance with the claims procedures set forth in the Basic Plan.

6.12 Payment for Benefit of Incapacitated Individual

In the event any amount becomes payable under the provisions of the Plan to a Participant, Beneficiary, or other person who is a minor or an incompetent, whether or not declared incompetent by a court, such amount may be paid directly to the minor or incompetent person or to such person’s fiduciary (or attorney-in-fact in the case of an incompetent) as the Global Human Resources Group, in its sole discretion, may decide, and the Global Human Resources Group shall not be liable to any person for any such decision or any payment pursuant thereto.

6.13 Limited Effect of Restatement

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Plan, to the extent permitted by ERISA and the Code, this instrument shall not affect the availability, amount, form or method of payment of benefits being paid before the effective date hereof to any Participant for former Participant (or a Beneficiary of either) in the Plan who is not an active Participant on or after the effective date hereof, said availability, amount, form or method of payment of benefits, if any, to be determined in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Plan as in effect prior to the effective date hereof.

18

6.14 Binding Effect

The Plan (including any and all amendments thereto) shall be binding upon the Participating Employers, their respective successors and assigns, and upon the Participants and their Beneficiaries and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, personal representatives and all other persons claiming by, under or through any of them.

APPENDIX A

SPECIAL RULES FOR SERVICE WITH ACQUIRED ENTITIES

This Appendix A is part of the Plan and contains special rules applicable only to the Participants described herein. If provisions of this Appendix A conflict with any other provisions of the Plan with respect to such Participants, the provisions of this Appendix A shall govern.

A. Shawmut National Corporation

1. The Shawmut National Corporation Excess Benefit Plan (“Shawmut Excess Plan”) merged into the Plan effective as of January 1, 1997. As of that date, the liabilities of the Shawmut Excess Plan became the liabilities of the Plan and the Shawmut Excess Plan ceased to exist. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, the benefit under the Plan of a Participant who was a former participant in the Shawmut Excess Plan shall not be less than the benefit such Participant would be deemed to have accrued under the terms of the Shawmut Excess Plan as of the date this Appendix A was adopted.

2. Each individual who was a participant in the Shawmut Excess Plan or the Shawmut National Corporation Executive Supplemental Retirement Plan (“Shawmut SERP”) immediately prior to the date as of which Shawmut National Corporation merged with Fleet Financial Group, Inc. (predecessor to the Company), and who became an employee of the Company or a subsidiary or affiliate as of said merger date, became a Participant in the Plan as of January 1, 1997. This Section A of Appendix A applies solely to former participants in the Shawmut Excess Plan or Shawmut SERP (“Shawmut Participants”).

3. The benefits of Shawmut Participants shall be determined by taking into account the principles and provisions of Specification Schedule J of the Basic Plan. For Traditional Participants, this includes adjustment of their December 31, 1996 benefit, transferred from the Shawmut Excess Plan, for increases in Average Annual Compensation after 1996.

4. As of January 1, 1997, the following Cash Balance Participants shall have the following opening amounts credited to their Cash Balance Accounts under the Plan, which represents the total value of their benefits under the Shawmut Excess Plan as of December 31, 1996, reduced by the deemed Shawmut Excess Plan offset described in Section 5, where applicable, expressed as a single sum:

5. Because participants in the Shawmut SERP were not also participants in the Shawmut Excess Plan, their benefit under the Plan, which is calculated by taking into account their service with Shawmut, shall be reduced by the following amounts, or the Actuarial Equivalent thereof, which are the benefits that they would have accrued under the Shawmut Excess Plan as of December 31, 1996, with Credited Service frozen as of December 1, 1995, if they had been participants in the Shawmut Excess Plan:
