If the notes priced today, J.P. Morgan Securities Inc., which we refer to as JPMSI, acting as agent for JPMorgan Chase & Co., would receive a commission of approximately $40.00 per $1,000 principal amount note and would use a portion of that commission to pay selling concessions to other unaffiliated or affiliated dealers of approximately $25.00 per $1,000 principal amount note.  This commission includes the projected profits that our affiliates expect to realize, some of which may be allowed to other unaffiliated dealers, for assuming risks inherent in hedging our obligations under the notes.  The actual commission received by JPMSI may be more or less than $40.00 and will depend on market conditions on the pricing date.  In no event will the commission received by JPMSI, which includes concessions to be allowed to other dealers, exceed $45.00 per $1,000 principal amount note.  See "Plan of Distribution" beginning on page PS-19 of the accompanying product supplement no. 129-A-II.

Hypothetical Examples of Calculation of the Interest Rate for an Interest Period

The following examples illustrate how to calculate the Interest Payment for an Interest Period (other than the Initial Interest Periods). The hypothetical Reference Rates, Spreads and Interest Rates set forth in the following examples are for illustrative purposes only and may not be the actual Reference Rates, Spreads or Interest Rates for any Interest Period applicable to a purchaser of the notes. The numbers appearing in the following examples have been rounded for ease of analysis.

Example 1: On the applicable Determination Date, Reference Rate 1 is 4.50% and Reference Rate 2 is 3.70%. Because Reference Rate 1 (4.50%) is greater than Reference Rate 2 (3.70%), the Spread is positive and is equal to 0.80%. Accordingly, the Interest Rate is calculated as follows:

4 × (4.50% - 3.70%) = 3.20% per annum

The quarterly interest payment per $1,000 principal amount note is calculated as follows:

$1,000 × 3.20% × (90/360) = $8.00  

Example 2: On the applicable Determination Date, Reference Rate 1 is 12.00% and Reference Rate 2 is 1.50%. Because Reference Rate 1 (12.00%) is greater than Reference Rate 2 (1.50%), the Spread is positive and is equal to 10.50%. Because the Spread multiplied by the Leverage Factor of 4 is greater than the Maximum Interest Rate of 9.00% per annum, the Interest Rate is equal to the Maximum Interest Rate of 9.00% per annum.

The quarterly interest payment per $1,000 principal amount note is calculated as follows:

$1,000 × 9.00% × (90/360) = $22.50  

Example 3: On the applicable Determination Date, Reference Rate 1 is 4.00% and Reference Rate 2 is 4.50%. Because Reference Rate 1 (4.00%) is less than Reference Rate 2 (4.50%), the Spread is negative and equal to -0.50%. Because the Spread multiplied by the Leverage Factor of 4 is less than the Minimum Interest Rate of 0.00% per annum, the Interest Rate is equal to the Minimum Interest Rate of 0.00% per annum, and you will not receive any Interest for such Interest Period.  

Historical Information

The following graphs set forth the daily historical performance of the CMS Rates and the Spread from January 3, 1995 through July 16, 2010. We obtained the rates used to construct the graph 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.

The 10-Year U.S. Dollar Constant Maturity Swap Rate, as appeared on Reuters page “ISDAFIX1” on July 16, 2010 was 2.9280%. The 2-Year U.S. Dollar Constant Maturity Swap Rate, as appeared on Reuters page “ISDAFIX1” on July 16, 2010 was 0.8226%. The Spread on July 16, 2010 was 2.1054%.

The CMS Rates and the Spread data in the following graphs were obtained from Bloomberg Financial Markets at approximately 3:30 p.m. on the relevant dates and may not be indicative of the Spread, which is determined on any date of determination by reference to the CMS Rates published on Reuters page "ISDAFIX1" at approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City time. The historical CMS Rates and the Spread should not be taken as an indication of future performance, and no assurance can be given as to the CMS Rates or the Spread on any Determination Date. We cannot give you assurance that the performance of the CMS Rates and the Spread will result in any positive interest payments in any Interest Period subsequent to the final Initial Interest Period.
