General

Key Terms

Index:

The S&P 500® Index (the “Index”).

Upside Leverage Factor:

2

Payment at Maturity:

If the S&P 500 Closing Level is greater than the S&P 500 Starting Level, you will receive at maturity a cash payment that provides you with a return per $1,000 principal amount note equal to the S&P 500 Return multiplied by two, subject to a Maximum Total Return on the notes of 10.50%*. For example, if the S&P 500 Return is more than 5.25%, you will receive the Maximum Total Return on the notes of 10.50%*, which entitles you to the maximum payment of $1,105 at maturity for every $1,000 principal amount note that you hold. Accordingly, if the S&P 500 Return is positive, your payment at maturity per $1,000 principal amount note will be calculated as follows, subject to the Maximum Total Return:

$1,000 + [$1,000 x (S&P 500 Return x 2)]
*The actual Maximum Total Return on the notes will be set on the pricing date and will not be less than 10.50%.
If the S&P 500 Closing Level is equal to the S&P 500 Starting Level, you will receive at maturity a cash payment of $1,000 per $1,000 principal amount note.
If the S&P 500 Closing Level declines from the S&P 500 Starting Level by up to 10%, you will receive at maturity a cash payment that provides you with a return per $1,000 principal amount note equal to the Absolute S&P 500 Return and your payment at maturity per $1,000 principal amount note will be calculated as follows:
$1,000 + ($1,000 x Absolute S&P 500 Return)
If the S&P 500 Closing Level declines from the S&P 500 Starting Level by more than 10%, you will lose 1.1111% of the principal amount of your notes for every 1% that the Index declines beyond 10% and your payment at maturity per $1,000 principal amount note will be calculated as follows:
$1,000 + [$1,000 x (S&P 500 Return + 10%) x 1.1111]
You will lose some or all of your investment if the S&P 500 Closing Level declines from the S&P 500 Starting Level by more than 10%.

Buffer Amount:

10%

Downside Leverage Factor:

1.1111

S&P 500 Return:

The performance of the Index from the S&P 500 Starting Level to the S&P 500 Closing Level, calculated as follows:

 

S&P 500 Closing Level – S&P 500 Starting Level
                 S&P 500 Starting Level

Absolute S&P 500 Return:

The absolute value of the S&P 500 Return. For example, an S&P 500 Return of -5% will equal a 5% Absolute S&P 500 Return.

S&P 500 Starting Level:

The closing level of the Index on the pricing date.

S&P 500 Closing Level:

The closing level of the Index on the Observation Date.

What Is the Total Return on the Notes at Maturity Assuming a Range of Performance for the Index?

The following table and graph illustrate the hypothetical total return at maturity on the notes. The “total return” as used in this term sheet is the number, expressed as a percentage, that results from comparing the payment at maturity per $1,000 principal amount note to $1,000. The hypothetical total returns set forth below assume an S&P 500 Starting Level of 1400 and a Maximum Total Return on the notes of 10.50%. The hypothetical total returns set forth below are for illustrative purposes only and may not be the actual total returns applicable to a purchaser of the notes. The numbers appearing in the following table, graph and examples have been rounded for ease of analysis.

Hypothetical Examples of Amounts Payable at Maturity

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

Example 1: The level of the Index increases from the S&P 500 Starting Level of 1400 to an S&P 500 Closing Level of 1470.
Because the S&P 500 Closing Level of 1470 is greater than the S&P 500 Starting Level of 1400 and the S&P 500 Return of 5% multiplied by 2 does not exceed the hypothetical Maximum Total Return of 10.50%, the investor receives a payment at maturity of $1,100 per $1,000 principal amount note, calculated as follows:

$1,000 + [$1,000 x (5% x 2)] = $1,100

Example 2: The level of the Index decreases from the S&P 500 Starting Level of 1400 to an S&P 500 Closing Level of 1330.
Although the S&P Return is negative, because the S&P 500 Closing Level of 1330 is less than the S&P 500 Starting Level of 1400 by not more than the Buffer Amount of 10% and the Absolute S&P 500 Return is 5%, the investor receives a payment at maturity of $1,050 per $1,000 principal amount note, calculated as follows:

$1,000 + ($1,000 x 5%) = $1,050

Example 3: The level of the Index increases from the S&P 500 Starting Level of 1400 to an S&P 500 Closing Level of 1680.
Because the S&P 500 Closing Level of 1680 is greater than the S&P 500 Starting Level of 1400 and the S&P 500 Return of 20% multiplied by 2 exceeds the hypothetical Maximum Total Return of 10.50%, the investor receives a payment at maturity of $1,105 per $1,000 principal amount note, the maximum payment on the notes.

Example 4: The level of the Index decreases from the S&P 500 Starting Level of 1400 to an S&P 500 Closing Level of 1120.
Because the S&P 500 Return is negative and the S&P 500 Closing Level of 1120 is less than the S&P 500 Starting Level of 1400 by more than the Buffer Amount of 10%, the investor receives a payment at maturity of $888.89 per $1,000 principal amount note, calculated as follows:

$1,000 + [$1,000 x (-20% + 10%) x 1.1111] = $888.89

Selected Purchase Considerations

 TS-2
    than a year, whether or not you are an initial purchaser of notes at the issue price. However, the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) or a court may not respect this characterization or treatment of the notes, in which case the timing and character of any income or loss on the notes could be significantly and adversely affected. In addition, on December 7, 2007, Treasury and the IRS released a notice requesting comments on the U.S. federal income tax treatment of “prepaid forward contracts” and similar instruments, such as the notes. The notice focuses in particular on whether to require holders of these instruments to accrue income over the term of their investment. It also asks for comments on a number of related topics, including the character of income or loss with respect to these instruments; the relevance of factors such as the nature of the underlying property to which the instruments are linked; the degree, if any, to which income (including any mandated accruals) realized by Non-U.S. Holders should be subject to withholding tax; and whether these instruments are or should be subject to the “constructive ownership” regime, which very generally can operate to recharacterize certain long-term capital gain as ordinary income that is subject to an interest charge. While the notice requests comments on appropriate transition rules and effective dates, any Treasury regulations or other guidance promulgated after consideration of these issues could materially and adversely affect the tax consequences of an investment in the notes, possibly with retroactive effect. Both U.S. and Non-U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisers regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the notes, including possible alternative treatments and the issues presented by this notice.

Selected Risk Considerations

An investment in the notes involves significant risks. Investing in the notes is not equivalent to investing directly in the Index or any of the component stocks of the Index. These risks are explained in more detail in the “Risk Factors” section of the accompanying product supplement no. 134-I dated April 29, 2008.
