_{¹You are invited to apply for a Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC). This is not a commitment to lend; you must submit additional information for review and approval.}

_{The term of a HELOC is 30 years: 10-year draw period, 20-year repayment period. Property insurance is always required and flood insurance is required where necessary. Certain property types are not eligible collateral. If you choose the Interest Only Option, during the Draw Period the minimum monthly payment will be the amount of accrued interest, plus any unpaid fees. Under the Amortizing Payment Option, the variable minimum monthly payment for both the Draw Period and the Repayment Period will be an amount sufficient to repay the outstanding balance in principal and interest payments over the remaining term at the applicable APR, subject to a minimum payment of at least $100. The minimum line amount is generally $25,000, but lines as low as $15,000 are available in certain locations. Bank of America pays all closing costs on lines up to and including $1,000,000.}

_{² Please consult your tax advisor regarding interest deductibility.}

_{³ Fixed-Rate Loan Option at account opening: You may convert a withdrawal from your home equity line of credit (HELOC) account into a Fixed-Rate Loan Option, resulting in fixed monthly payments at a fixed interest rate.

The minimum loan term is 1 year, and the maximum term will not exceed the account maturity date.}

_{Fixed-Rate Loan Option during loan term: You may convert all or a portion of your outstanding HELOC variable-rate balance to a Fixed-Rate Loan Option, resulting in fixed monthly payments at a fixed interest rate. The minimum outstanding balance that can be converted into a Fixed-Rate Loan Option is $5,000 from an existing HELOC account. The minimum loan term is 1 year, and the maximum term will not exceed the account maturity date. No more than three Fixed-Rate Loan Options may be open at one time. Rates for the Fixed-Rate Loan Option are typically higher than variable rates on the HELOC.}
