Return Enhanced Notes Linked to the PHLX Oil Service SectorSM Index due June 20, 2012

General

Key Terms

Index:

PHLX Oil Service SectorSM Index (the “Index”). For additional information about the PHLX Oil Service SectorSM Index, see Appendix A to this term sheet.

Upside Leverage Factor:

2

Payment at Maturity:

If the Ending Index Level is greater than the Initial Index Level, at maturity you will receive a cash payment that provides you with a return per $1,000 principal amount note equal to the Index Return multiplied by 2, subject to a Maximum Total Return on the notes of at least 28.30%*. For example, assuming a Maximum Total Return of 28.30%, if the Index Return is equal to or greater than 14.15%, you will receive the Maximum Total Return on the notes of 28.30%*, which entitles you to a maximum payment at maturity of $1,283* for every $1,000 principal amount note that you hold. Accordingly, if the Index Return is positive, your payment per $1,000 principal amount note will be calculated as follows, subject to the Maximum Total Return:

 

$1,000 +($1,000 × Index Return × 2)

*The actual Maximum Total Return on the notes and the actual maximum payment at maturity will be set on the pricing date and will not be less than 28.30% and $1,283 per $1,000 principal amount note, respectively.

 

Your investment will be fully exposed to any decline in the Index, if the Ending Index Level is equal to the Initial Index Level, you will receive the principal amount of your notes at maturity.

If the Ending Index Level is less than the Initial Index Level, you will lose 1% of the principal amount of your notes for every 1% that the Ending Index Level is less than the Initial Index Level and your payment at maturity per $1,000 principal amount note will be calculated as follows:

 

$1,000 + ($1,000 × Index Return)

 

You will lose some or all of your investment at maturity if the Ending Index Level is less than the Initial Index Level.

Index Return:

Ending Index Level – Initial Index Level
                 Initial Index Level

Initial Index Level:

TS-1

The graph below demonstrates the hypothetical total return on the notes at maturity. Your investment may result in a loss of some or all of your principal at maturity.

Hypothetical Examples of Amounts Payable at Maturity

The following examples illustrate how the total returns set forth in the table on the previous page are calculated.

Example 1: The level of the Index increases from the Initial Index Level of 275 to an Ending Index Level of 288.75. Because the Ending Index Level of 288.75 is greater than the Initial Index Level of 275 and the Index Return of 5% multiplied by 2 does not exceed the hypothetical Maximum Total Return of 28.30%, the investor receives a payment at maturity of $1,100 per $1,000 principal amount note, calculated as follows:

$1,000 + ($1,000 × 5.00% × 2 ) = $1,100

Example 2: The level of the Index increases from the Initial Index Level of 275 to an Ending Index Level of 330. Because the Ending Index Level of 330 is greater than the Initial Index Level of 275 and the Index Return of 20% multiplied by 2 exceeds the hypothetical Maximum Total Return of 28.30%, the investor receives a payment at maturity of $1,283 per $1,000 principal amount note, the maximum payment on the notes.

Example 3: The level of the Index decreases from the Initial Index Level of 275 to an Ending Index Level of 220. Because the Ending Index Level of 220 is less than the Initial Index Level of 275, the Index Return is negative and the investor receives a payment at maturity of $800 per $1,000 principal amount note, calculated as follows:

$1,000 + ($1,000 × -20%) = $800

These returns and the payouts on the notes shown above do not reflect fees or expenses that would be associated with any sale in the secondary market. If these fees and expenses were included, the hypothetical total returns and payouts shown above would likely be lower.

Appendix A

The PHLX Oil Service SectorSM Index (the “Index”)

     We have derived all information contained in this term sheet regarding the Index, including, without limitation, its make-up, method of calculation and changes in its components, from publicly available information. Such information reflects the policies of, and is subject to change by, The NASDAQ OMX Group, Inc. (“NASDAQ OMX”). The Index was developed by the predecessor to NASDAQ OMX PHLX and is calculated, maintained and published by NASDAQ OMX. We have not independently verified such information. We make no representation or warranty as to the accuracy or completeness of such information. NASDAQ OMX has no obligation to continue to calculate and publish, and may discontinue calculation and publication of the Index.

     The Index is reported by Bloomberg L.P. under the ticker symbol “OSX.”

     The Index is a price-weighted index and is designed to track the performance of a set of companies whose primary lines of business are directly associated with the U.S. oil services market. Currently, the Index is composed of fifteen companies that provide oil drilling and production services, oil field equipment, support services and geophysical/reservoir services.

Index Calculation

     The Index is a price-weighted index. The value of the Index equals the aggregate value of the Index share weights, also known as the Index Shares, of each of the Index Securities multiplied by each such security’s last sale price, and divided by the divisor of the Index. The divisor serves the purpose of scaling such aggregate Index value to a lower order of magnitude which is more desirable for reporting purposes. If trading in an Index Security on its primary listing market is halted while the market is open, the most recent last sale price for that security is used for all Index computations until trading on such market resumes. Likewise, the most recent last sale price is used if trading in an Index Security is halted on its primary listing market before the market is open. The Index began publishing on December 31, 1996 at a base value of 75.

     The formula for calculating the Index value is as follows:

Aggregate Adjusted Market Value


Divisor

     The divisor is determined as follows:

Market Value after Adjustments

× Divisor before Adjustments


Market Value before Adjustments

     The Index is ordinarily calculated without regard to cash dividends on the Index Securities. The Index is calculated during the trading day and is disseminated once per second from 09:30:01 to 17:16:00 Eastern Time. The closing value of the Index may change up until 17:15:00 Eastern Time due to corrections to the last sale price of the Index Securities.

Eligibility

     Eligibility for inclusion in the Index is limited to specific security types only. The security types eligible for the Index include common stocks, ordinary shares, American Depositary Receipts, shares of beneficial interest or limited partnership interests, and tracking stocks. Security types not included in the Index are closed-end funds, convertible debentures, exchange traded funds, preferred stocks, rights, warrants, units and other derivative securities.

TS-6

     Initial Security Eligibility Criteria

     To be included in the Index, a security must meet the following criteria:

     For the purposes of Index eligibility criteria, if the security is a depositary receipt representing a security of a non-U.S. issuer, then references to the “issuer” are references to the issuer of the underlying security.

     Continued Security Eligibility Criteria

     To be eligible for continued inclusion in the Index, an Index Security must meet the following criteria:

     Component Replacement Criteria

     In the event that an Index Security no longer meets the Continued Security Eligibility Criteria, it will be replaced with a security that meets all of the Initial Security Eligibility Criteria and additional criteria that follows. Securities eligible for inclusion will be ranked in descending order by market value, current price and greatest percentage price change over the previous six months. The security with the highest overall ranking will be added to the Index provided that the Index then meets the following criteria:

     If multiple securities have the same rank, the security with the largest market capitalization will rank higher. In the event that the highest-ranking security does not permit the Index to meet the above criteria, the next highest-ranking security will be selected and the Index criteria will again be applied to determine eligibility. The process will continue until a qualifying replacement security is selected.


JPMorgan Structured Investments —
Return Enhanced Notes Linked to the PHLX Oil Service SectorSM Index

TS-7

     Continued Index Eligibility Criteria

     In addition to the security eligibility criteria, the Index as a whole must meet the following criteria on a continual basis unless otherwise noted:

     In the event the Index does not meet the criteria, the Index composition will be adjusted to ensure that the Index meets the criteria. Index Securities that contribute to the Index not meeting the eligibility criteria may be removed. Index Securities may be added and/or replaced according to the component replacement rules to ensure compliance with the Continued Index Eligibility Criteria. In all cases, a security is removed from the Index at its last sale price.

Index Maintenance

     Changes in the price of an Index Security driven by corporate events such as stock dividends, stock splits, certain spin-offs and rights issuances will be adjusted on the ex-date and the shares shall remain fixed.

     In the case of a special cash dividend, NASDAQ OMX will determine on an individual basis whether to make a change to the price of an Index Security in accordance with its index dividend policy. If it is determined that a change will be made, it will become effective on the ex-date and advance notification will be made.

     Ordinarily, whenever there is a change in the price of an Index Security due to stock dividends, stock splits, spin-offs, rights issuances or special cash dividends, the divisor is adjusted to ensure that there is no discontinuity in the value of the Index, which might otherwise be caused by any such change. All changes are announced in advance and will be reflected in the Index prior to market open on the effective date of the Index.

License Agreement with NASDAQ OMX

     JPMorgan Chase & Co. and its affiliates have entered into a non-exclusive license agreement with NASDAQ OMX providing for the license to us, in exchange for a fee, of the right to use the Index in connection with certain securities, including the notes.

The Corporations are not responsible for and have not participated in the determination of the timing of, prices at, or quantities of the notes to be issued or in the determination or calculation of the equation by which the notes are to be converted into cash. The Corporations have no liability in connection with the administration, marketing or trading of the notes.
