Notes

1    Represents the performance of the Index based on, as applicable to the
     relevant measurement period, the hypothetical backtested weekly Index
     closing levels from January 1, 1999 through May 13, 2009, and the actual
     historical performance of the Index based on the weekly Index closing level
     from May 14, 2009 through October 30, 2009, as well as the performance of
     the S&P 500(R) Index over the same period. For purposes of these examples,
     each index was set equal to 100 at the beginning of the relevant
     measurement period and returns calculated arithmetically (not compounded).
     There is no guarantee the Index will outperform the S&P 500(R) Index or any
     alternative investment strategy. Source: Bloomberg and JPMorgan.

2    Volatility is calculated from the historical returns, as applicable to the
     relevant measurement period, of the S&P 500(R) Total Return Index (the
     "Underlying Index") over a six-month observation period. For any given day,
     represents the annualized standard deviation of the Underlying Index's
     arithmetic daily returns for the 126-index day period preceding that day.
     The index leverage is the hypothetical back-tested amount of exposure of
     the Index to the Underlying Index and should not be considered indicative
     of the actual leverage that would be assigned during your investment in the
     Index. The back-tested, hypothetical, historical six-month annualized
     volatility and index leverage have inherent limitations. These volatility
     and leverage results were achieved by means of a retroactive application of
     a back-tested volatility model designed with the benefit of hindsight. No
     representation is made that in the future the Underlying Index will have
     the volatility as shown. Alternative modeling techniques or assumptions
     might produce significantly different results and may prove to be more
     appropriate. Actual six-month annualized volatilities and leverage may vary
     materially from this analysis. Source: Bloomberg and JPMorgan.

3    Calculated based on the annualized standard deviation for the ten year
     period prior to October 30, 2009.

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.

5    Correlation refers to the degree the S&P 500(R) Risk Control 10% Excess
     Return Index has changed relative to daily changes in the S&P 500(R) Index.

Key Risks

o    The Index has a limited operating history and may perform in unexpected
     ways -- The Index began publishing on May 13, 2009 and, therefore, has a
     limited history. S&P has calculated the returns that hypothetically might
     have been generated had the Index existed in the past, but those
     calculations are subject to many limitations and do not reflect actual
     trading, liquidity constraints, fees and other costs.

o    The Index may not be successful, may not outperform the Underlying Index
     and may not achieve its target volatility --No assurance can be given that
     the volatility strategy will be successful or that the Index will
     outperform the Underlying Index or any alternative strategy that might be
     employed to reduce the level of risk of the Underlying Index. We also can
     give you no assurance that the Index will achieve its target volatility of
     10%.

o    The Index is not a total return index and is subject to short-term money
     market fund borrowing costs-- As an "excess return" index, the S&P 500(R)
     Risk Control 10% Excess Return Index calculates the return on a leveraged
     or deleveraged investment in the Underlying Index where the investment was
     made through the use of borrowed funds. Investments linked to this "excess
     return" index, which represents an unfunded position in the Underlying
     Index, will be subject to short-term money market fund borrowing costs and
     will not include the "total return" feature or the cash component of the
     "total return" index, which represents a funded position in the Underlying
     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.

Key Risks Continued

o    The Index represents a portfolio consisting of the Underlying Index and a
     borrowing cost component accruing interest based on U.S. overnight LIBOR.
     The Index dynamically adjusts its exposure to the Underlying Index based on
     the Underlying Index's historic volatility. The Index's exposure to the
     Underlying Index will decrease when historical volatility causes the risk
     level of the Underlying Index to reach a high threshold. If, at any time,
     the Index exhibits low exposure to the Underlying Index and the Underlying
     Index subsequently appreciates significantly, the Index will not
     participate fully in this appreciation.

o    J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. ("JPMSI"), one of our affiliates, worked with
     S&P in developing the guidelines and policies governing the composition and
     calculation of the Index. The policies and judgments for which JPMSI was
     responsible could have an impact, positive or negative, on the level of the
     Index. JPMSI is under no obligation to consider your interests as an
     investor.
