·
|
This
term
sheet relates to two (2) separate note offerings. Each issue of offered
notes is linked to one, and only one, Reference Stock. You may participate
in either of the two (2) note offerings or, at your election, in
both of
the offerings. This term sheet does not, however, allow you to purchase
a
note linked to a basket of both of the Reference Stocks described
below.
|
·
|
The
notes are
designed for investors who seek an interest rate that is higher than
the
current dividend yield on the applicable Reference Stock or the yield
on a
conventional debt security with the same maturity issued by us or
an
issuer with a comparable credit rating. Investors should be willing
to
forgo the potential to participate in the appreciation of the applicable
Reference Stock, be willing to accept the risks of owning the common
stock
of the applicable Reference Stock issuer, and be willing to lose
some or
all of their principal at maturity.
|
·
|
Investing
in
the notes is not equivalent to investing in the shares of an issuer
of
either of the Reference Stocks.
|
·
|
Each
issue of
offered notes will pay interest monthly at the fixed rate specified
for
that issue below. However, the
notes do not guarantee any return of principal at
maturity.
Instead,
the payment at maturity will be based on the Final Share Price of
the
applicable Reference Stock and whether the closing price of the applicable
Reference Stock has declined from the applicable Initial Share Price
by
more than the applicable Protection Amount during the Monitoring
Period,
as described below.
|
·
|
Payment
at
maturity for each $1,000 principal amount note will be either a cash
payment of $1,000 or delivery of shares of the applicable Reference
Stock
(or, at our election, the Cash Value thereof), in each case, together
with
any accrued and unpaid interest, as described
below.
|
·
|
Minimum
denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples
thereof.
|
Payment
at
Maturity:
|
The
payment
at maturity, in excess of any accrued and unpaid interest, is based
on the
performance of the applicable Reference Stock. You will receive $1,000
for
each $1,000 principal amount note, plus any accrued and unpaid interest
at
maturity, unless:
(1)
the
applicable Final Share Price is less than the applicable Initial
Share
Price; and
(2)
on
any day
during the Monitoring Period, the closing
price
of the
applicable Reference Stock has declined, as compared to the applicable
Initial Share Price, by more than the applicable Protection Amount.
If
the
conditions described in both (1) and (2) are satisfied, at maturity
you
will receive, in addition to any accrued and unpaid interest, instead
of
the principal amount of your notes, the number of shares of the applicable
Reference Stock equal to the applicable Physical Delivery Amount
(or, at
our election, the Cash Value thereof). Fractional shares will be
paid in
cash. The
market value of the Physical Delivery Amount or the Cash Value thereof
will most likely be substantially less than the principal amount
of your
notes, and may be zero.

THE
NOTES OFFER A HIGHER INTEREST RATE THAN THE YIELD ON DEBT SECURITIES
OF
COMPARABLE MATURITY ISSUED BY US OR AN ISSUER WITH A COMPARABLE CREDIT
RATING —
The
notes will pay interest at an Interest Rate depending upon the applicable
Reference Stock, as indicated on the cover of this term sheet. We
believe
that the applicable Interest Rate is higher than the yield received
on
debt securities of comparable maturity issued by us or an issuer
with a
comparable credit rating. Because the notes are our senior unsecured
obligations, any interest payment or any payment at maturity is subject
to
our ability to pay our obligations as they become
due.
|
·
|
MONTHLY
INTEREST PAYMENTS —
The
notes offer monthly interest payments at the applicable Interest
Rate set
forth on the cover of this term sheet. Interest will be payable monthly
in
arrears on the last
calendar day of each month,
except for
the final interest payment, which shall be payable on the Maturity
Date
(each such date, an “Interest Payment Date”), commencing June 30, 2008,
to
and
including the Interest Payment Date corresponding to the Maturity
Date,
to the holders of record at the close of business on the date 15
calendar
days prior to the applicable Interest Payment Date. If an Interest
Payment
Date is not a business day, payment will be made on the next business
day
immediately following such day, but no additional interest will accrue
as
a result of the delayed payment.
|
·
|
THE
NOTES DO NOT GUARANTEE THE RETURN OF YOUR
PRINCIPAL —
Your
return
of principal at maturity is protected if the applicable Final Share
Price
does not decline from the applicable Initial Share Price or the closing
price of the applicable Reference Stock does not decline, as compared
to
the applicable Initial Share Price, by more than the applicable Protection
Amount on any day during the Monitoring Period. However,
if the applicable Final Share Price declines from the applicable
Initial
Share Price and the closing price of the applicable Reference Stock
on any
day during the Monitoring Period has declined by more than the applicable
Protection Amount, you could lose the entire principal amount of
your
notes.
|
·
|
TAX
TREATMENT AS A UNIT COMPRISING A PUT OPTION AND A
DEPOSIT — You
should
review carefully the section entitled “Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax
Consequences” in the accompanying product supplement no. 34-VI.
We
and you
agree (in the absence of an administrative determination or judicial
ruling to the contrary)
to treat the
notes as units comprising a Put Option and a Deposit for U.S. federal
income tax purposes. We will determine the portion of each coupon
payment
that we will allocate to interest on the Deposit and to Put Premium,
respectively, and will provide that allocation in the pricing supplement
for the notes. If the notes had priced on May 6, 2008, of each coupon
payment, we would have treated the percentages specified on the cover
of
this term sheet as interest on the Deposit and as Put Premium,
respectively. The actual allocation that we will determine for the
notes
may differ from this hypothetical allocation, and will depend upon
a
variety of factors, including actual market conditions and our borrowing
costs for debt instruments of comparable maturities on the Pricing
Date.
Assuming this characterization is respected, amounts treated as interest
on the Deposit will be taxed as ordinary income while the Put Premium
will
not be taken into account prior to maturity or sale. However, there
are
other reasonable treatments that the Internal Revenue Service (the
“IRS”)
or a court may adopt, in which case the timing and character of any
income
or loss on the notes could be significantly and adversely affected.
In
addition, on December 7, 2007, Treasury and the IRS released a notice
requesting comments on the U.S. federal income tax treatment of “prepaid
forward contracts” and similar instruments. While it is not clear whether
the notes would be viewed as similar to the typical prepaid forward
contract described in the notice, it is possible that any Treasury
regulations or other guidance promulgated after consideration of
these
issues could materially and adversely affect the tax consequences
of an
investment in the notes, possibly with retroactive effect. The notice
focuses on a number of issues, the most relevant of which for holders
of
the notes are the character of income or loss (including whether
the Put
Premium might be currently included as ordinary income) and the degree,
if
any, to which income realized by Non-U.S. Holders should be subject
to
withholding tax. Both U.S. and Non-U.S. Holders should consult their
tax
advisers regarding all aspects of the U.S. federal income tax consequences
of an investment in the notes, including possible alternative treatments
and the issues presented by this notice. Purchasers who are not initial
purchasers of notes at the issue price should also consult their
tax
advisers with respect to the tax consequences of an investment in
the
notes, including possible alternative characterizations, as well
as the
allocation of the purchase price of the notes between the Deposit
and the
Put Option.
|
·
|
YOUR
INVESTMENT IN THE NOTES MAY RESULT IN A LOSS —
The
notes do not guarantee any return of principal. The payment at maturity
will be based on the applicable Final Share Price and whether the
closing
price of the applicable Reference Stock has declined from the applicable
Initial Share Price by more than the applicable Protection Amount
on any
day during the Monitoring Period. Under certain circumstances, you
will
receive at maturity a predetermined number of shares of the applicable
Reference Stock (or, at our election, the Cash Value thereof). The
market
value of those shares of the applicable Reference Stock or the Cash
Value
thereof will most likely be less than the principal amount of each
note
and may be zero. Accordingly,
you could lose up to the entire principal amount of your
notes.
|
·
|
YOUR
PROTECTION MAY TERMINATE ON ANY DAY DURING THE TERM OF THE
NOTES —
If,
on any
day during the Monitoring Period, the closing price of the applicable
Reference Stock declines below the applicable Initial Share Price
minus
the applicable Protection Amount, you will at maturity be fully exposed
to
any depreciation in the applicable Reference Stock. We refer to this
feature as a contingent buffer. Under these circumstances, and
if the
applicable Final Share Price is less than the applicable Initial
Share
Price, you will receive at maturity a predetermined number of shares
of
the applicable Reference Stock (or, at our election, the Cash Value
thereof) and, consequently, you will lose 1% of the principal amount
of
your investment for every 1% decline in the applicable Final Share
Price
compared to the applicable Initial Share Price. You will be subject
to
this potential loss of principal even if the price of the applicable
Reference Stock subsequently recovers such that the applicable Final
Share
Price is above the applicable Initial Share Price minus the applicable
Protection Amount. If these notes had a non-contingent buffer feature,
under the same scenario, you would have received the full principal
amount
of your notes plus accrued and unpaid interest at maturity. As a
result,
your investment in the notes may not perform as well as an investment
in a
security with a return that includes a non-contingent
buffer.
|
·
|
YOUR
RETURN ON THE NOTES IS LIMITED TO THE PRINCIPAL AMOUNT PLUS ACCRUED
INTEREST REGARDLESS OF ANY APPRECIATION IN THE VALUE OF THE APPLICABLE
REFERENCE STOCK —
Unless (i) the applicable Final Share Price is less than the applicable
Initial Share Price and (ii) on any day during the Monitoring Period,
the
closing price of the applicable Reference Stock has declined, as
compared
to the applicable Initial Share Price, by more than the applicable
Protection Amount, for each $1,000 principal amount note, you will
receive
$1,000 at maturity plus any accrued and unpaid interest, regardless
of any
appreciation in the value of the applicable Reference Stock, which
may be
significant. Accordingly, the return on the notes may be significantly
less than the return on a direct investment in the applicable Reference
Stock during the term of the notes.
|
·
|
NO
OWNERSHIP RIGHTS IN THE APPLICABLE REFERENCE STOCK —
As
a
holder of the notes, you will not have any ownership interest or
rights in
the applicable Reference Stock, such as voting rights or dividend
payments. In addition, the applicable Reference Stock issuer will
not have
any obligation to consider your interests as a holder of the notes
in
taking any corporate action that might affect the value of the applicable
Reference Stock and the notes.
|
·
|
NO
AFFILIATION WITH THE REFERENCE STOCK ISSUERS —
We
are not affiliated with the issuers of the Reference Stocks. We assume
no
responsibility for the adequacy of the information about the Reference
Stock issuers contained in this term sheet or in product supplement
no.
34-VI. You should make your own investigation into the Reference
Stocks
and their issuers. We are not responsible for the Reference Stock
issuers’
public disclosure of information, whether contained in SEC filings
or
otherwise.
|
·
|
CERTAIN
BUILT-IN COSTS ARE LIKELY TO ADVERSELY AFFECT THE VALUE OF THE NOTES
PRIOR
TO MATURITY —
While
the payment at maturity described in this term sheet is based on
the full
principal amount of your notes, the original issue price of the notes
includes the agent’s commission and the cost of hedging our obligations
under the notes through one or more of our affiliates. As a result,
and as
a general matter, the price, if any, at which JPMSI will be willing
to
purchase notes from you in secondary market transactions, if at all,
will
likely be lower than the original issue price and any sale prior
to the
maturity date could result in a substantial loss to you. This secondary
market price will also be affected by a number of factors aside from
the
agent’s commission and hedging costs, including those referred to under
“Many Economic and Market Factors Will Impact the Value of the Notes”
below.
|
·
|
LACK
OF LIQUIDITY — The
notes
will not be listed on any securities exchange. JPMSI intends to offer
to
purchase the notes in the secondary market but is not required to
do so.
Even if there is a secondary market, it may not provide enough liquidity
to allow you to trade or sell the notes easily. Because other dealers
are
not likely to make a secondary market for the notes, the price at
which
you may be able to trade your notes is likely to depend on the price,
if
any, at which JPMSI is willing to buy the notes.
|
·
|
POTENTIAL
CONFLICTS —
We
and our affiliates play a variety of roles in connection with the
issuance
of the notes, including acting as calculation agent. In performing
these
duties, the economic interests of the calculation agent and other
affiliates of ours are potentially adverse to your interests as an
investor in the notes. We and/or our affiliates may also currently
or from
time to time engage in business with the Reference Stock issuers,
including extending loans to, or making equity investments in, such
Reference Stock issuer(s) or providing advisory services to such
Reference
Stock issuer(s). In addition, one or more of our affiliates may publish
research reports or otherwise express opinions with respect to the
Reference Stock issuers and these reports may or may not recommend
that
investors buy or hold the Reference Stock(s). As a prospective purchaser
of the notes, you should undertake an independent investigation of
the
applicable Reference Stock issuer that in your judgment is appropriate
to
make an informed decision with respect to an investment in the notes.
|
·
|
HEDGING
AND TRADING IN THE REFERENCE STOCKS —
While
the notes are outstanding, we or any of our affiliates may carry
out
hedging activities related to the notes, including in the Reference
Stocks
or instruments related to such Reference Stock(s). We or our affiliates
may also trade in the Reference Stocks or instruments related to
Reference
Stock(s) from time to time. Any of these hedging or trading activities
as
of the Pricing Date and during the term of the notes could adversely
affect our payment to you at
maturity.
|
·
|
MANY
ECONOMIC AND MARKET FACTORS WILL INFLUENCE THE VALUE OF THE
NOTES —
In addition
to the value of the applicable Reference Stock and interest rates
on any
trading day, the value of the notes will be affected by a number
of
economic and market factors that may either offset or magnify
each other
and which are set out in more detail in product supplement no.
