(1) 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 $37.50 per $1,000 principal amount note and would use a portion of that commission to allow selling concessions to other dealers of approximately $26.25 per $1,000 principal amount note. The concessions of approximately $26.25 include concessions to be allowed to selling dealers and concessions to be allowed to an arranging dealer. The actual commission received by JPMSI may be less than $37.50 and will depend on market conditions on the Pricing Date. In no event will the commission received by JPMSI, which includes concessions to be paid to other dealers, exceed $60.00 per $1,000 principal amount note. See “Underwriting” beginning on page PS-28 of the accompanying product supplement no. 68-I .

The total aggregate principal amount of notes being offered by this term sheet may not be purchased by investors in the offering. Under these circumstances, JPMSI will retain the unsold portion of the offering and has agreed to hold such notes for investment for a period of at least 30 days. The unsold portion of notes will not exceed 15% of the aggregate principal amount of notes. Any unsold portion may affect the supply of the notes available for secondary trading and, therefore, could adversely affect the price of the notes in the secondary market. Circumstances may occur in which our interests or those of our affiliates could be in conflict with your interests.

The notes are not bank deposits and are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other governmental agency, nor are they obligations of, or guaranteed by, a bank.

Selected Purchase Considerations


JPMorgan Structured Investments —
Reverse Exchangeable Notes Linked to the Least Performing Common Stock of Apple Inc., Google Inc., Microsoft Corporation and QUALCOMM Incorporated

 TS-1
    treatment of “prepaid forward contracts” and similar instruments. While it is not clear whether the notes would be viewed as similar to the typical prepaid forward contract described in the notice, it is possible that 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. The notice focuses on a number of issues, the most relevant of which for holders of the notes are the character of income or loss (including whether the Put Premium might be currently included as ordinary income) and the degree, if any, to which income realized by Non-U.S. Holders should be subject to withholding tax. Both U.S. and Non-U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisers regarding all aspects of the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the notes, including possible alternative treatments and the issues presented by this notice. Purchasers who are not initial purchasers of notes at the issue price should also consult their tax advisers with respect to the tax consequences of an investment in the notes, including possible alternative characterizations, as well as the allocation of the purchase price of the notes between the Deposit and the Put Option.

Selected Risk Considerations

An investment in the notes involves significant risks. Investing in the notes is not equivalent to investing directly in one or more of the Reference Stocks. These risks are explained in more detail in the “Risk Factors” section of the accompanying product supplement no. 68-I dated February 7, 2007.

Examples of Hypothetical Payment at Maturity for Each $1,000 Principal Amount Note

The following table illustrates hypothetical payments at maturity on a $1,000 investment in the notes, based on a range of hypothetical Final Share Prices for the Least Performing Reference Stock and assuming that the closing price of each Reference Stock did not decline, as compared to its respective Initial Share Price, by more than its respective Protection Amount on any day from the Pricing Date to and including the Observation Date, except as indicated in the column titled “Hypothetical lowest closing price of the common stock of Apple Inc. during the Monitoring Period.” The following table assumes that the Least Performing Reference Stock will be the common stock of Apple Inc. and that the common stock of Apple Inc. will be the least performing Reference Stock at all times during the term of the notes. We make no representation or warranty as to which of the Reference Stocks will be the Least Performing Reference Stock for the purposes of calculating your actual payment at maturity. In addition, you may receive shares of a Reference Stock at maturity that never experiences a decline from its Initial Share Price in excess of the Protection Amount during the Monitoring Period. The numbers appearing in the table below have been rounded for ease of analysis. For more information see “Selected Purchase Considerations — Your Return at Maturity May Be Based on a Reference Stock That Did Not Experience a Decline in Excess of Its Protection Amount During the Monitoring Period.”

For this table of hypothetical payments at maturity, we have also assumed the following:

  • the Initial Share Price (Apple. Inc.):

$185.00

• the Protection Amount (Apple. Inc.): $55.50

  • the Interest Rate:

10.0% (equivalent to 20.0% per annum)

Note that you will receive at maturity any accrued and unpaid interest in cash, in addition to either shares of the Least Performing Reference Stock (or, at our election, the Cash Value thereof) or the principal amount of your note in cash. Also note that if you receive the Physical Delivery Amount, the total value of payment received at maturity shown in the table above includes the value of any fractional shares, which will be paid in cash.

The following examples illustrate how the total value of payments received at maturity set forth in the table above are calculated.

Example 1: During the Monitoring Period, none of the Reference Stocks close at a price which reflects a decline of more than their respective Protection Amounts. Because Apple Inc. is the Least Performing Reference Stock and because its Final Share Price of $370.00 exceeds its Initial Share Price of $185.00, you will receive a payment at maturity of $1,000 per $1,000 principal amount note.

Example 2: During the Monitoring Period, Apple Inc. was the first Reference Stock to close at a level below its Initial Share Price minus the Protection Amount. On the Observation Date, Apple Inc., still the Least Performing Reference Stock, recovers to a Final Share Price of $194.25. Because the Final Share Price of the Least Performing Reference Stock is above its Initial Share Price, you will receive $1,000 per $1,000 principal amount note at maturity even though a Trigger Event occurred.

Example 3: During the Monitoring Period, Apple Inc. was the first Reference Stock to close at a level below its Initial Share Price minus the Protection Amount. On the Observation Date, Apple Inc., still the Least Performing Reference Stock, recovers to a Final Share Price of $175.75. Because at least one of the Reference Stocks had a closing price that had declined from its Initial Share Price by more than its Protection Amount, and because the Final Share Price of the Least Performing Reference Stock is less than its Initial Share Price, you will receive the Physical Delivery Amount of the Least Performing Reference Stock, or, at our election, the Cash Value thereof, at maturity. Because the Final Share Price of the Least Performing Reference Stock is $175.75, the total value of your final payment at maturity, whether in cash or shares of the Least Performing Reference Stock, is $950.00.

Example 4: During the Monitoring Period, Apple Inc. was the first Reference Stock to close at a level below its Initial Share Price minus the Protection Amount. On the Observation Date, Apple Inc., still the Least Performing Reference Stock, declines further to a Final Share Price of $46.25. Because at least one of the Reference Stocks had a closing price that had declined from its Initial Share Price by more than its Protection Amount, and because the Final Share Price of the Least Performing Reference Stock is less than its Initial Share Price, you will receive the Physical Delivery Amount of the Least Performing Reference Stock, or, at our election, the Cash Value thereof, at maturity. Because the Final Share Price of the Least Performing Reference Stock is $46.25, the total value of your final payment at maturity, whether in cash or shares of the Least Performing Reference Stock, is $250.00.

Regardless of the performance of the Least Performing Reference Stock or the payment you receive at maturity, you will receive interest payments, for each $1,000 principal amount note, in the aggregate amount of approximately $100.00 over the term of the notes. If we priced the notes on May 5, 2008, you would have received 5 shares of Apple Inc. common stock or, at our election, the Cash Value thereof, at maturity, assuming that Apple Inc. common stock was the Least Performing Reference Stock and provided that Apple Inc. common stock’s Final Share Price declined from its Initial Share Price and the closing price of at least one Reference Stock declined by more than 30%, as compared to its Initial Share Price on at least one day during the Monitoring Period. The actual number of shares of each Reference Stock or the Cash Value thereof you may receive at maturity and the actual Protection Amount of each Reference Stock may be more or less than the amounts displayed in the hypothetical examples and the chart above and will depend in part on the closing price of each Reference Stock on the Pricing Date.
