Return Notes Linked to the MSCI Europe ex UK with Special Tax Rate Index due April 3, 2014

General

Key Terms

Index:

The MSCI Europe ex UK with Special Tax Rate Index (the “Index”) (Bloomberg ticker symbol “M0EUG89%”)

Principal Amount:

The Principal Amount will be a U.S. dollar amount equal to the Initial Index Level. For example, if the Initial Index Level is 1000, the Principal Amount per note will be $1,000.

Payment at Maturity:

For each note, unless earlier repurchased, you will receive at maturity a cash payment equal to (a) the Closing Note Value as of the Final Valuation Date minus (b) the Close-Out Fee as of the Final Valuation Date.

  If the amount calculated above is less than zero, the payment at maturity will be $0.
 

The return on your initial investment will be reduced by the purchase fee and the Close-Out Fee. Accordingly, you will lose some or all of your investment at maturity if the level of the Index decreases or does not increase sufficiently to offset the effect of the purchase fee and the Close-Out Fee.

Closing Note Value:

The Closing Note Value on the Inception Date will be equal to the Principal Amount. On each subsequent Valuation Date, the Closing Note Value will be equal to (a) the Principal Amount multiplied by (b) the Index Factor as of the relevant Valuation Date.

Index Factor:

On any Valuation Date, (a) the Index closing level on such Valuation Date divided by (b) the Initial Index Level

Initial Index Level:

The Index closing level on the Inception Date, which will be on or about March 30, 2011

Inception Date:

On or about March 30, 2011

Valuation Date(s):

Each business day from and including the Inception Date to and including the Final Valuation Date

Final Valuation Date:

March 31, 2014

Maturity Date:

April 3, 2014

Additional Key Terms:

See “Additional Key Terms” below.

     Subject to postponement in the event of certain market disruption events and as described under “Description of Notes — Postponement of a Valuation Date” and “Description of Notes — Payment at Maturity” in the accompanying product supplement no. 209-A-I

Investing in the Return Notes involves a number of risks. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page PS-6 of the accompanying product supplement no. 209-A-I and “Selected Risk Considerations” beginning on page TS-3 of this term sheet.

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of the notes or passed upon the accuracy or the adequacy of this term sheet or the accompanying prospectus supplement and prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

The price to the public includes the cost of hedging our obligations under the notes, which includes the profit our affiliates expect to realize in consideration for assuming the risks inherent in providing such hedge. For additional related information, please see “Use of Proceeds” beginning on page PS-14 of the accompanying product supplement no. 209-A-I.

(2)

JPMS, acting as our agent, will offer the notes at 100% of the Principal Amount plus a purchase fee of 0.075% of the Closing Note Value on the Inception Date (which is equal to the Principal Amount). JPMS will not receive an agent’s commission in connection with sales of the notes, but will charge purchasers of notes the purchase fee. JPMS will be entitled to receive some or all of the Close-Out Fee to cover the ongoing payments related to the distribution of notes, projected profits for managing our hedge position and a structuring fee for developing the economic terms of the notes. See “Selected Purchase Considerations — Purchase Fee” in this term sheet and “Plan of Distribution (Conflicts of Interest)” beginning on page PS-34 of the accompanying product supplement no. 209-A-I.

 

The total aggregate principal amount of notes being offered by this term sheet may not be purchased by investors in the offering. Under these circumstances, JPMS will retain the unsold portion of the offering and has agreed to hold such notes for investment for a period of at least 30 days. The unsold portion of any series of notes will not exceed 15% of the aggregate principal amount of the notes. Any unsold portion may affect the supply of notes available for secondary trading and, therefore, could adversely affect the price of the notes in the secondary market. Circumstances may occur in which our interests or those of our affiliates could be in conflict with your interests.

The notes are not bank deposits and are not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other governmental agency, nor are they obligations of, or guaranteed by, a bank.

Additional Key Terms

Payment upon Early Repurchase:

Subject to your compliance with the procedures described under “Description of Notes — Early Repurchase at the Option of the Holders” and the potential postponements and adjustments as described under “Description of Notes — Postponement of a Valuation Date” in the accompanying product supplement no. 209-A-I, you may request that we repurchase your notes on any Repurchase Date during the term of the notes, provided that you request that we repurchase a minimum of 1,000 notes. Upon early repurchase, you will receive for each note a cash payment on the relevant Repurchase Date equal to (a) the Closing Note Value as of the relevant Valuation Date minus (b) the Close-Out Fee as of the relevant Valuation Date.

If the amount calculated above is less than zero, the payment upon early repurchase will be $0.
The return on your initial investment will be reduced by the purchase fee and the Close-Out Fee. Accordingly, you will lose some or all of your initial investment upon early repurchase if the level of the Index decreases or does not increase sufficiently to offset the effect of the purchase fee and the Close-Out Fee.

Early Repurchase Mechanics:

In order to request that we repurchase your notes on any Repurchase Date, you must deliver a Repurchase Notice to us via email at dln_repurchase@jpmchase.com by no later than 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the business day prior to the relevant Valuation Date and follow the procedures described under “Description of Notes — Early Repurchase at the Option of the Holders” in the accompanying product supplement no. 209-A-I. If you fail to comply with these procedures, your notice will be deemed ineffective.

Close-Out Fee:

For any Repurchase Date, an amount in cash per note equal to (a) the Closing Note Value as of the relevant Valuation Date multiplied by (b) the Close-Out Fee Percentage.

Close-Out Fee Percentage:

0.075%

Repurchase Date:

The third business day following each Valuation Date

Repurchase Notice:

The form of Repurchase Notice attached hereto as Annex A

Payment upon Optional Redemption:

At our sole discretion, we may redeem all, but not fewer than all, issued and outstanding notes on any business day on or after the Initial Redemption Date. Upon redemption, you will receive for each note a cash payment on the relevant Redemption Date equal to (a) the Closing Note Value as of the relevant Valuation Date minus (b) the Close-Out Fee as of the relevant Valuation Date.

The return on your initial investment will be reduced by the purchase fee and the Close-Out Fee. Accordingly, you will lose some or all of your initial investment upon redemption if the level of the Index decreases or does not increase sufficiently to offset the effect of the purchase fee and the Close-Out Fee.

Optional Redemption Mechanics:

If we exercise our right to redeem your notes on a Redemption Date, we will deliver an irrevocable redemption notice to the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) (the holder of the global note). The Valuation Date for such redemption will be specified in the irrevocable redemption notice delivered to DTC and will be no fewer than five business days and no more than ten business days after the date such notice is delivered, subject to the potential postponements and adjustments as described under “Description of Notes — Postponement of a Valuation Date.” Accordingly, we must provide at least five business days’ notice prior to the Valuation Date for such redemption.

Initial Redemption Date:

April 11, 2012

Redemption Date:

The third business day following the relevant Valuation Date

Reissuances or Reopening issuances:

We may, without your consent, “reopen” or reissue the notes based upon market conditions and the Index closing level at that time. If the notes are reopened, we expect that JPMS will charge a purchase fee of 0.075% of the Closing Note Value on the relevant reopening pricing date or as otherwise specified in the relevant term sheet or pricing supplement. These further issuances, if any, will be consolidated to form a single sub-series with the notes originally issued and will have the same CUSIP number and will trade interchangeably with the notes immediately upon settlement. We have no obligation to take your interests into account when deciding to issue additional notes. See “Reissuances or Reopening Issuances” in this term sheet for more information.

Selected Risk Considerations

Your investment in the notes will involve significant risks. The notes do not guarantee any return of principal at, or prior to, the Maturity Date or any Repurchase Date or Redemption Date. Investing in the notes is not equivalent to investing directly in the Index or any of the equity securities that compose the Index. In addition, your investment in the notes entails other risks not associated with an investment in conventional debt securities. These risks are explained in more detail in the “Risk Factors” section of the accompanying product supplement no. 209-A-I dated March 29, 2011. You should carefully consider the following discussion of risks before you decide that an investment in the notes is suitable for you.

Hypothetical Payment at Maturity or Upon Early Repurchase or Redemption

The following table and examples illustrate the hypothetical total returns at maturity or upon early repurchase or redemption for each note. The “total return” as used in this term sheet is the number, expressed as a percentage, that results from comparing the payment at maturity or upon early repurchase or redemption per note to the Principal Amount plus a purchase fee of 0.075% of the Closing Note Value on the Inception Date (which is equal to the Principal Amount). The hypothetical total returns set forth below assume an Initial Index Level of 1000 and a Principal Amount of $1,000 and reflect the Close-Out Fee Percentage of 0.075%. The hypothetical total returns set forth below are for illustrative purposes only and may not be the actual total returns at maturity or upon early repurchase or redemption applicable to a purchaser of the notes. The numbers appearing in the following table and examples have been rounded for ease of analysis.

Hypothetical Examples of Amounts Payable at Maturity or Upon Early Repurchase or Redemption

The following examples illustrate how the total returns set forth in the table above are calculated.

Example 1: The level of the Index increases from the Initial Index Level of 1150 to an Index closing level of 1265 on the relevant Valuation Date. Because the Index closing level on the relevant Valuation Date of 1265 is greater than the Initial Index Level of 1150, the investor receives a payment at maturity or upon early repurchase or redemption of $1,099.18 per note, calculated as follows:

Closing Note Value: $1,000 × (1265 / 1150) = $1,100; or

Payment at maturity or upon early repurchase or redemption: $1,100 – ($1,100 × 0.075%) = $1,099.18

Example 2: The level of the Index increases from the Initial Index Level of 1150 to an Index closing level of 1150.575 on the relevant Valuation Date. Because the Index closing level on the relevant Valuation Date of 1150.575 is greater than the Initial Index Level of 1150, the investor receives a payment at maturity or upon early repurchase or redemption of $999.75 per note, which is less than the Principal Amount even though the level of the Index has increased because of the negative effect of the Close-Out Fee, calculated as follows:

Closing Note Value: $1,000 × (1150.575 / 1150) = $1,000.50; or

Payment at maturity or upon early repurchase or redemption: $1,000.50 – ($1,000.50 × 0.075%) = $999.75

Example 3: The level of the Index decreases from the Initial Index Level of 1150 to an Index closing level of 920 on the relevant Valuation Date. Because the Index closing level on the relevant Valuation Date of 920 is less than the Initial Index Level of 1150, the investor receives a payment at maturity or upon early repurchase or redemption of $799.40 per note, calculated as follows:

Closing Note Value: $1,000 × (920 / 1150) = $800; or

Payment at maturity or upon early repurchase or redemption: $800 – ($800 × 0.075%) = $799.40

Hypothetical Back-Tested Data and Historical Information

Hypothetical Back-Tested Data and Historical Performance of the Index and Historical Performance of the MSCI Europe ex UK Index Net USD

The following graph sets forth (a) the hypothetical back-tested performance of the Index based on the hypothetical back-tested daily Index closing levels from November 30, 2010 through February 23, 2011, and the historical performance of the Index based on the daily Index closing levels from February 24, 2011 through March 28, 2011 and (b) the historical daily performance of the MSCI Europe ex UK Index Net USD from November 30, 2010 through March 28, 2011.

The Index was established on February 24, 2011. The Index closing level on March 28, 2011 was 1167.50. The closing level of the MSCI Europe ex UK Index Net USD on March 28, 2011 was 4677.927. We obtained the closing levels below from Bloomberg Financial Markets. We make no representation or warranty as to the accuracy or completeness of the information obtained from Bloomberg Financial Markets.

Your notes are linked to the Index and not to the MSCI Europe ex UK Index Net USD. The methodology used to calculate and maintain the Index is the same as the methodology used for the MSCI Europe ex UK Index Net USD, except that the Index reflects a withholding rate of 11% and the MSCI Europe ex UK Index Net USD reflects the highest withholding tax rate applicable to non-resident institutional investors who do not benefit from double taxation treaties, which varies by country. As a result, the return on the notes will not reflect the performance of the MSCI Europe ex UK Index Net USD. Historical information with respect to the MSCI Europe ex UK Index Net USD is provided for reference purposes only.

The hypothetical back-tested and historical values of the Index should not be taken as an indication of future performance, and no assurance can be given as to the Index closing level on the Inception Date or any Valuation Date. We cannot give you assurance that the performance of the Index will result in the return of any of your initial investment. The data for the hypothetical back-tested performance of Index set forth in the following graph was calculated on materially the same basis on which the performance of Index is now calculated, but does not represent the actual historical performance of the Index.

The hypothetical historical values above have not been verified by an independent third party. The back-tested, hypothetical historical results above have inherent limitations. These back-tested results are achieved by means of a retroactive application of a back-tested model designed with the benefit of hindsight. No representation is made that an investment in the notes will or is likely to achieve returns similar to those shown. Alternative modeling techniques or assumptions might produce significantly different results and prove to be more appropriate than the hypothetical historical information set forth above. Past hypothetical back-tested results are neither an indicator nor guarantee of future returns. Actual results will vary, perhaps materially, from this analysis. The hypothetical historical performance date set forth above represents a simulation of past performance, which is no guarantee of future results.

Historical Performance of the MSCI Europe ex UK Index Net USD

The following graph sets forth the historical daily performance of the MSCI Europe ex UK Index Net USD from January 6, 2006 through March 28, 2011. We obtained the closing levels below from Bloomberg Financial Markets. We make no representation or warranty as to the accuracy or completeness of the information obtained from Bloomberg Financial Markets. As discussed above, the return on the notes will not reflect the performance of the MSCI Europe ex UK Index Net USD. Historical information with respect to the MSCI Europe ex UK Index Net USD is provided for reference purposes only.

Reissuances or Reopening Issuances

We may, at our sole discretion, “reopen” or reissue the notes based on market conditions and Index closing levels at that time. If the notes are reopened, we expect that JPMS will charge a purchase fee of 0.075% of the Closing Note Value on the relevant reopening pricing date or as otherwise specified in the relevant term sheet or pricing supplement. These further issuances, if any, will be consolidated to form a single class with the originally issued notes and will have the same CUSIP number and will trade interchangeably with the notes immediately upon settlement. The price of any additional offering will be determined at the time of pricing of that offering. We have no obligation to take your interests into account when deciding to issue additional notes. For more information on such additional offerings, see “General Terms of Notes — Reissuances or Reopening Issuances” in the accompanying product supplement no. 209-A-I.
