Notes
1 Represents the performance of the Index based on, as applicable to the
relevant measurement period, the hypothetical backtested daily Index
closing levels from January 3, 2000 through August 27, 2009, and the actual
historical performance of the Index based on the daily Index closing level
from August 28, 2009 through November 30, 2010, as well as the performance
of the US Generic Government 10 Year Yield Index over the same period.
There is no guarantee of any future performance for these indices based on
this information. Source: Bloomberg and JPMorgan.
2 On a quarterly basis (generally, the second to last business day in
February, May, August and November), J.P. Morgan Securities Ltd., or JPMSL,
acting as the Index calculation agent, will rebalance the Index to take
synthetic long positions in the next 10 year Treasury Futures Contract
scheduled to expire immediately following the contract closest to
expiration.
3 Calculated based on the annualized standard deviation for the ten year
period prior to November 30, 2010.
4 For the above analysis, the Sharpe Ratio, which is a measure of
risk-adjusted performance, is computed as the ten year annualized
historical return divided by the ten year annualized volatility.

Key Risks
[] Our affiliate, JPMSL, is the index calculation agent and may adjust the
Index in a way that affects its level. The policies and judgments for which
JPMSL is responsible could have an impact, positive or negative, on the level
of the Index and the value of your investment. JPMSL is under no obligation to
consider your interest as an investor in financial instruments linked to the
Index.
[] The Index comprises notional assets only. You will not have any claim
against any of the 10-year Treasury futures underlying the Index or the
related Treasury securities.
[] Interest Rate Risk -- The level of the Index changes daily, at times
significantly based upon the current market prices of the volatile 10-year
Treasury futures contracts and the related Treasury notes. These market
prices are influenced by a variety of factors, particularly interest rate
changes, the yields on the Treasury futures/notes as compared to current
market interest rates and the actual or perceived credit quality of the U.
S. government.
[] The Index may be subject to high levels of volatility. Futures contracts on
the 10-year U. S. Treasury notes are highly leveraged and often display
higher volatility and less liquidity than the 10-year U. S. Treasury Notes.
[] The settlement price of 10 year Treasury Futures may not be readily
available.
[] The Index was established in August 2009 and therefore has a limited
operating history.
[] The Index may in the future be subject to an adjustment factor that could
negatively affect the level of the Index.
The risks identified above are not exhaustive. You should also review carefully
the related "Risk Factors" section in the relevant product supplement and the
"Selected Risk Considerations" in the relevant term sheet or pricing
supplement.
Index Disclaimers
[] The Index was developed, complied, prepared and arranged by JPMorgan
through the expenditure of substantial time, effort and money and
constitutes valuable intellectual property and trade secrets of JPMorgan.
All right, title, and interest in and to the Index is vested in JPMorgan
and the Index cannot be used without JPMorgan's prior written consent.
Information herein is believed to be reliable but JPMorgan does not warrant
its completeness or accuracy.
