JPMorgan Alerian MLP Index ETNs

OVERVIEW

JPMorgan Alerian MLP Index Exchange Traded Notes ("ETNs") provide convenient
access to midstream energy MLPs. The ETNs pay a variable quarterly coupon linked
to the cash distributions paid on the MLPs in the index, less accrued tracking
fees(1). The ETN coupons are reported on Form 1099s and therefore eliminate the
administrative burden associated with K-1 forms. Investors can trade the ETNs on
the NYSE, Arca exchange or receive a cash payment at the scheduled maturity or
upon early repurchase(2), based on the performance of the index. The ETNs are
senior, unsecured obligations of JPMorgan Chase and Co.

Sources: Bloomberg, JPMorgan. Calculated as of December 3, 2010. The standard
deviation and correlation are based on monthly returns over the past 5 years.
The returns, standard deviations and correlations are provided for informational
purposes only. Correlation refers to correlation of the relevant index to the
Alerian MLP Index. The returns are total returns which reflect the performance
of each index including dividends. Historical performance of the Index is not
indicative of future performance of the Index or the ETNs. There is no guarantee
that the Index or the ETNs will outperform any investment strategy.

1. The "Accrued Tracking Fee" for a given coupon period, as more fully described
in the relevant pricing supplement, represents an amount equal to the Tracking
Fee of 0.85% per annum accrued for that coupon period multiplied by the Current
Indicative Value on the Index Business Day prior to the date of determination,
plus the aggregate amounts, if any, by which the previous Accrued Tracking Fees
have exceeded the cash distributions, if any, made by the underlying MLPs.

2. Investors may request on a weekly basis that the Issuer repurchase a minimum
of 50,000 notes prior to the maturity date, subject to the procedures described
in the relevant pricing supplement. Early repurchases will be subject to a
Repurchase Fee of 0.125% , as further described in the relevant pricing
supplement.

3. The intraday indicative value of the ETNs (the "IIV") is meant to approximate
the intrinsic economic value of an ETN. The IIV calculation will be provided for
reference purposes only. It is not intended as a price or quotation. The IIV
will be based on the intraday indicative values of the Index, and may not be
equal to the payment at maturity or upon early repurchase. Please see the
relevant pricing supplement for details.

4. Current yield equals the most recent coupon annualized and divided by the
closing price of the ETN on November 24, 2010 (which is the last ex-dividend
date), and rounded to one decimal place for ease of presentation. The coupons
are based on the cash distributions, if any, paid on the underlying MLPs, less
the Accrued Tracking Fee. The coupons are variable and may be zero.

5. This number, in some cases, has been rounded for ease of presentation. As of
December 3, 2010, the Market Capitalization of the ETNs was $2,233,750,000 which
equals the number of ETNs issued as of December 3, 2010 multiplied by the
closing price of the ETNs on December 3, 2010. A portion of the ETNs issued as
of December 3, 2010 is held by an affiliate of JPMorgan Chase and Co.

Hypothetical, Historical Total Return Index Performance
[GRAPHIC OMITTED]

Sources: Bloomberg, JPMorgan. As of December 3, 2010. Each of these indices was
calculated based on a level for such index set equal to 100% on December 29,
1995. Hypothetical, historical performance of the Index is not indicative of
future performance of the Index or the ETNs. Fluctuations in the Index may be
more or less than that for the value of the ETNs. All returns displayed above
reflect the index performance including dividends, and are calculated without
deducting any applicable transaction fees. There is no guarantee that the Index
or the ETNs will outperform any alternative investment strategy. Your payment at
maturity or upon early repurchase of the ETNs, as more fully described in the
relevant pricing supplement is based on the VWAP Level of the Alerian MLP Index
which excludes dividends. The VWAP Level of the Index will most likely differ
from its closing level.


MLP Overview:

What are MLPs? Master Limited Partnerships ("MLPs") are limited partnerships
that are publicly traded on a U.S. securities exchange. The majority of MLPs
currently operate in the energy infrastructure industry, owning assets such as
pipelines that transport crude oil, natural gas and other refined petroleum
products. MLPs typically generate fee-based revenues, which tend not to be
directly tied to changes in commodity prices.

Why invest in MLPs? MLPs provide relatively low correlation to a wide range of
asset classes including equities and commodities and have produced attractive
historical yields compared to other income-oriented investments.

Benefits of Investing in the ETNs

Exposure to a portfolio of energy MLPs through a single investment.

Income via quarterly coupons linked to the cash distributions, if any, paid on
the MLPs in the Index, less fees.

No K-1 forms will be received by investors in the ETNs. The coupons are reported
as ordinary income on Form 1099. There is no leverage to the MLPs in the ETN
performance .

What are the main risks in the ETNs?

The ETNs may result in a loss.

The ETNs are exposed to the credit risk of JPMorgan Chase and Co. The ETNs may
not have an active trading market and may not continue to be listed over their
term.

The payment at maturity or upon early repurchase of the ETNs will be based on
the VWAP Level of the Index and not on the closing level of the Index. The VWAP
Level of the Index will most likely differ from the closing level of the Index
or the IIV.

The coupon payments on the ETNs will be variable and may be zero. The Accrued
Tracking Fee reduces the potential coupons and/or the payment at maturity or
upon early repurchase.

The Issuer's obligation to repurchase the ETNs is on a weekly basis, and is
subject to substantial minimum size restrictions. You will not know how much you
will receive upon early repurchase at the time that you elect we repurchase your
ETNs.

The risks identified above are not exhaustive. You should also review carefully
the related "Risk Factors" section of the relevant product supplement and the
"Selected Risk Considerations" in the relevant pricing supplement.
