JPMorgan Alerian MLP Index ETNs
================================================================================

OVERVIEW

JPMorgan Alerian MLP Index Exchange
Traded Notes ("ETNs") provide
convenient access to midstream energy
MLPs. The ETNs pay a variable
quarterly coupon linked to the cash
distributions paid on the MLPs in the
index, less accrued tracking fees(1).             GRAPHIC OMITTED
The ETN coupons are reported on Form
1099s and therefore eliminate the
administrative burden associated with
K-1 forms. Investors can trade the
ETNs on the NYSE, Arca exchange or
receive a cash payment at the
scheduled maturity or upon early
repurchase(2), based on the
performance of the index. The ETNs are
senior, unsecured obligations of
JPMorgan Chase & Co.

Calculated as of August 31, 2009. The standard deviation and correlation are based on monthly returns over the past 5 years. The returns, standard deviations and correlations are provided for informational purposes only. Correlation refers to correlation of the relevant index to the Alerian MLP Index. The returns are total returns which reflect the performance of each index including dividends. Historical performance of the Index is not indicative of future performance of the Index or the ETNs. There is no guarantee that the Index or the ETNs will outperform any investment strategy. 1. The "Accrued Tracking Fee" for a given coupon period, as more fully described in the relevant pricing supplement, represents an amount equal to the Tracking Fee of 0.85% per annum accrued for that coupon period multiplied by the Current Indicative Value on the Index Business Day prior to the date of determination, plus the aggregate amounts, if any, by which the previous Accrued Tracking Fees have exceeded the cash distributions, if any, made by the underlying MLPs. 2. Investors may request on a weekly basis that the Issuer repurchase a minimum of 50,000 notes prior to the maturity date, subject to the procedures described in the relevant pricing supplement. Early repurchases will be subject to a Repurchase Fee of 0.125%, as further described in the relevant pricing supplement. 3. The intraday indicative value of the ETNs (the "IIV") is meant to approximate the intrinsic economic value of an ETN. The IIV calculation will be provided for reference purposes only. It is not intended as a price or quotation. The IIV will be based on the intraday indicative values of the Index, and may not be equal to the payment at maturity or upon early repurchase. Please see the relevant pricing supplement for details. 4. Current yield equals the most recent coupon annualized and divided by the closing price of the ETN on August 31, 2009, and rounded to one decimal place for ease of presentation. The coupons are based on the cash distributions, if any, paid on the underlying MLPs, less the Accrued Tracking Fee. The coupons are variable and may be zero. - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- September 11, 2009 slide01b
