Enhanced Income Strategies for Equity Investors

Investment Description

Yield Optimization Notes with Contingent Protection are senior, unsecured Notes issued by JPMorgan Chase & Co. (the “Issuer”) (each a “Note” and collectively, the “Notes”) linked to the performance of the common stock of a specific company (the “Underlying Stock”). The Notes pay enhanced coupons and provide either a return of principal or shares of the applicable Underlying Stock at maturity. The enhanced coupons are designed to compensate you for the risk that you may receive a share of the applicable Underlying Stock at maturity for each Note held that is worth less than your principal. At maturity, you will receive one share of the applicable Underlying Stock (subject to adjustments, in the case of certain corporate events described in the accompanying product supplement no. UBS-8-A-I under “General Terms of Notes — Anti-Dilution Adjustments,” in the sole discretion of the calculation agent) for each of your Notes if the closing price of the applicable Underlying Stock on the Final Valuation Date (the “Final Price”) is below the specified Trigger Price. Otherwise, you will receive your principal in cash. We will make coupon payments during the term of the Notes regardless of the performance of the applicable Underlying Stock. Investing in the Notes involves significant risks. You may lose some or all of your principal. The contingent protection feature applies only if you hold the Notes until maturity. Any payment on the Notes is subject to the creditworthiness of the Issuer.

Features

q Income—Regardless of the performance of the applicable Underlying Stock, we will pay you coupons designed to compensate you for the fact that you could lose some or all of your principal.
 
q Tactical Investment Opportunity—If you believe the applicable Underlying Stock will trend sideways over the term of the Notes — moving neither positively, by more than the coupon paid on the Notes, nor negatively by more than the amount of the contingent protection — the Note may provide improved performance compared to a direct investment in the applicable Underlying Stock.
 
q

Contingent Protection Feature—If you hold the Notes to maturity and the applicable Underlying Stock does not close below the Trigger Price on the Final Valuation Date, you will receive 100% of your principal, subject to the creditworthiness of JPMorgan Chase & Co., and you will not participate in any appreciation of the applicable Underlying Stock. If you hold the Notes to maturity and the applicable Underlying Stock closes below the Trigger Price on the Final Valuation Date, you will receive one share (subject to adjustments in the case of certain corporate events) of the applicable Underlying Stock, which will be worth less than your initial investment and may have no value at all.

Note Offering

This free writing prospectus relates to two (2) separate Note offerings. Each issuance of offered Notes is linked to one, and only one, Underlying Stock. You may participate in either of the two (2) Note offerings or, at your election, in both of the offerings. This free writing prospectus does not, however, allow you to purchase a Note linked to a basket of both of the Underlying Stocks described below. The Notes will be issued in minimum denominations equal to the Principal Amount and multiples thereof. Each of the two Note offerings is linked to the common stock of a different company, and each of the two Note offerings has a different Coupon per Annum, Initial Price and Trigger Price. The indicative Coupon per Annum and Trigger Price for each Note offering are listed below. The actual Coupon per Annum, Initial Price and Trigger Price for each Note offering will be set on the Trade Date. The performance of each Note offering will not depend on the performance of the other Note offering.

Additional Information about JPMorgan Chase & Co. and the Notes

JPMorgan Chase & Co. has filed a registration statement (including a prospectus) with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, for the offering to which this free writing prospectus relates. Before you invest, you should read the prospectus in that registration statement and the other documents relating to this offering that JPMorgan Chase & Co. has filed with the SEC for more complete information about JPMorgan Chase & Co. and this offering. You may get these documents without cost by visiting EDGAR on the SEC website at www.sec.gov and searching company filings for the term “JPMorgan Chase & Co.” Alternatively, JPMorgan Chase & Co., any agent or any dealer participating in this offering will arrange to send you the prospectus, the prospectus supplement, product supplement no. UBS-8-A-I and this free writing prospectus if you so request by calling toll-free 866-535-9248.

You may revoke your offer to purchase the Notes at any time prior to the time at which we accept such offer by notifying the applicable agent. We reserve the right to change the terms of, or reject any offer to purchase the Notes prior to their issuance. In the event of any changes to the terms of the Notes, we will notify you and you will be asked to accept such changes in connection with your purchase. You may also choose to reject such changes in which case we may reject your offer to purchase.

This free writing prospectus relates to two (2) separate Note offerings. Each issue of the offered Notes is linked to one, and only one, Underlying Stock. The purchaser of a Note will acquire a security linked to a single Underlying Stock (not to a basket or index that includes the other Underlying Stock). You may participate in either of the two (2) Note offerings or, at your election, in both of the offerings. We reserve the right to withdraw, cancel or modify either offering and to reject orders in whole or in part. While each Note offering relates only to a single Underlying Stock identified on the cover page, you should not construe that fact as a recommendation of the merits of acquiring an investment linked to that Underlying Stock (or any other Underlying Stock) or as to the suitability of an investment in the Notes.

You should read this free writing prospectus together with the prospectus dated November 21, 2008, as supplemented by the prospectus supplement dated November 21, 2008, relating to our Series E medium-term Notes of which these Notes are a part, and the more detailed information contained in product supplement no.

You should carefully consider, among other things, the matters set forth in “Risk Factors” in the accompanying product supplement no. UBS-8-A-I, as the Notes involve risks not associated with conventional debt securities.

Investor Suitability

The Notes may be suitable for you if, among other considerations:

® You have a moderate to high risk tolerance.
 
® You are willing to receive physical delivery of shares of the applicable Underlying Stock at maturity that will likely be worth less than your principal and may have no value at all, meaning you may lose some or all of your principal.
   
® You believe the market price of the applicable Underlying Stock is not likely to appreciate by more than the value of the coupons paid on the applicable Notes.
 
® You believe the Final Price of the applicable Underlying Stock is not likely to be below the applicable Trigger Price on the Final Valuation Date.
 
® You are willing to make an investment that will be exposed to the same downside price risk as an investment in the applicable Underlying Stock.
 
® You are willing to make an investment with upside limited to the applicable Coupon per Annum.
 
® You are willing to accept the risk of fluctuations in the market price of the applicable Underlying Stock.
 
® You are willing to invest in the Notes based on the anticipated Coupon per Annum range (the actual applicable Coupon per Annum will be determined on the Trade Date).
 
® You are willing to hold the Notes to maturity, a term of 6 months, and accept that there may be little or no secondary market for the Notes.
 

®

You are comfortable with the creditworthiness of JPMorgan Chase & Co., as Issuer of the Notes.

 

The Notes may not be suitable for you if, among other considerations:

® You seek an investment that is 100% principal protected.
 
® You are not willing to receive physical delivery of shares of the applicable Underlying Stock at maturity.
 
® You believe the market price of the applicable Underlying Stock is likely to appreciate by more than the value of the coupons paid on the applicable Notes.
 
® You believe the Final Price of the applicable Underlying Stock is likely to be below the applicable Trigger Price on the Final Valuation Date.
 
® You are not willing to accept the risks of owning equities in general and the applicable Underlying Stock in particular.
 
® You seek an investment with unlimited upside.
 
® You prefer lower risk and, therefore, accept the potentially lower returns of fixed income investments with comparable maturities and credit ratings that bear interest at a prevailing market rate.
 
® You are unwilling or unable to hold the Notes to maturity.
 
® You seek an investment for which there will be an active secondary market.
 

®

You are unwilling or unable to assume the credit risk associated with JPMorgan Chase & Co., as Issuer of the Notes.

The suitability considerations identified above are not exhaustive. Whether or not the Notes are a suitable investment for you will depend on your individual circumstances, and you should reach an investment decision only after you and your investment, legal, tax, accounting, and other advisers have carefully considered the suitability of an investment in the Notes in light of your particular circumstances. You should also review carefully the “Key Risks” on page 7 of this free writing prospectus and “Risk Factors” in the accompanying product supplement no. UBS-8-A-I for risks related to an investment in the Notes.

Hypothetical Examples

Hypothetical Examples — Note Returns at Maturity

The following examples illustrate the payment at maturity on a hypothetical offering of the Notes linked to a hypothetical Underlying Stock assuming the following*:

Term: 6 months
Initial Price of the Underlying Stock: $25.00 per share
Trigger Price: $18.75 (75% of the Initial Price)
Principal Amount: $25.00 per Note (equal to the Initial Price)
Dividend yield on the Underlying Stock***: 0.25% during the term of the Notes (0.50% annual dividend yield)
Coupon per Annum**: 10.25% (or $0.2135 per monthly period)

*      Actual Coupon per Annum and other terms for each Note to be set on the Trade Date. The actual value of the Coupon Payments you will receive over the term of the notes, the actual market value of one share of the applicable Underlying Stock or the principal amount, as applicable, you may receive at maturity and the actual Trigger Price applicable to your Notes may be more or less than the amounts displayed in this hypothetical and the hypothetical scenarios below, and will depend in part on the Initial Price of the applicable Underlying Stock, which will be set on the Trade Date.
**      Coupon payments will be paid in arrears in monthly installments during the term of the Note on an unadjusted basis. If the actual Coupon per Annum as determined on the Trade Date is less than 10.25%, your coupon payments over the term of the Notes will be lower than the hypothetical coupon payments and total return shown below.
***      Hypothetical dividend yield holders of the Underlying Stock might receive over the term of the Notes.

Scenario #1: The Final Price of the applicable Underlying Stock is not below the Trigger Price of $18.75.

Because the Final Price of the Underlying Stock is not below the Trigger Price of $18.75, you will receive at maturity a cash payment equal to the principal amount of the Notes. This investment would outperform an investment in the Underlying Stock if the price appreciation of the Underlying Stock is less than 5.124%.

If the closing price of the Underlying Stock on the Final Valuation Date is $25.00 (no change in the price of the Underlying Stock):

      Payment at Maturity: $25.00
  Coupons: $1.281 ($0.2135 × 6 = $1.281)
  Total: $26.281
  Total Return on the Notes: 5.124%

In this example, the total return on the Notes is 5.124% while the total return on the Underlying Stock is 0.25% (including dividends).

If the closing price of the Underlying Stock on the Final Valuation Date is $32.50 (an increase of 30%):

      Payment at Maturity: $25.00
  Coupons: $1.281 ($0.2135 × 6 = $1.281)
  Total: $26.281
  Total Return on the Notes: 5.124%

In this example, the total return on the Notes is 5.124% while the total return on the Underlying Stock is 30.25% (including dividends).

If the closing price of the Underlying Stock on the Final Valuation Date is $21.25 (a decline of 15%):

      Payment at Maturity: $25.00
  Coupons: $1.281 ($0.2135 × 6 = $1.281)
  Total: $26.281
  Total Return on the Notes: 5.124%

In this example, the total return on the Notes is 5.124% while the total return on the Underlying Stock is a loss of 14.75% (including dividends).

Scenario #2: The Final Price of the Underlying Stock is below the Trigger Price of $18.75.

Because the Final Price of the Underlying Stock is below the Trigger Price of $18.75, you will receive at maturity one share of the Underlying Stock for every Note you hold. The value of shares received at maturity and the total return on the Notes at that time depends on the closing price of the Underlying Stock on the Maturity Date.

If the closing price of the Underlying Stock on the Maturity Date is $10.00 (a decline of 60%):

      Value of Shares Received: $10.00
  Coupons: $1.281 ($0.2135 × 6 = $1.281)
  Total: $11.281
  Total Return on the Notes: -54.876%

In this example, the total return on the Notes is a loss of 54.876% while the total return on the Underlying Stock is a loss of 59.75% (including dividends).

If the closing price of the Underlying Stock on the Maturity Date is $13.75 (a decline of 45%):

      Value of Shares Received: $13.75
  Coupons: $1.281 ($0.2135 × 6 = $1.281)
  Total: $15.031
  Total Return on the Notes: -39.876%

In this example, the total return on the Notes is a loss of 39.876% while the total return on the Underlying Stock is a loss of 44.75% (including dividends).

The numbers appearing in these hypothetical examples have been rounded for ease of analysis.

Hypothetical Return Table of the Notes at Maturity

The table below is based on the following assumptions*:

Term: 6 months
Initial Price: $25.00 per share
Trigger Price: $18.75.00 (75% of the Initial Price)
Principal Amount: $25.00 per Note (equal to the Initial Price)
Dividend yield on the Underlying Stock***: 0.25% during the term of the Notes (0.50% annual dividend yield)
Coupon per Annum**: 10.25% (or $0.2135 per monthly period)

*      Actual Coupon per Annum and other terms for each Note to be set on the Trade Date. The actual value of the Coupon Payments you will receive over the term of the notes, the actual market value of one share of the Underlying Stock or the principal amount, as applicable, you may receive at maturity, and therefore the Total Return at Maturity, and the actual Trigger Price applicable to your Notes may be more or less than the amounts displayed in this hypothetical and the hypothetical table below, and will depend in part on the Initial Price of the Underlying Stock, which will be set on the Trade Date.
**      Coupon payment will be paid in arrears in monthly installments during the term of the Note on an unadjusted basis. If the actual Coupon per Annum as determined on the Trade Date is less than 10.25%, your payment at maturity plus coupon payments and total return on the notes at maturity will be lower than the hypothetical amounts shown below.
***      Hypothetical dividend yield holders of the underlying stock might receive over the term of the Notes.

(1) A trigger event does not occur if the Final Price of the Underlying Stock is not below the Trigger Price.
   
(2) A trigger event occurs if the Final Price of the Underlying Stock is below the Trigger Price.
   
(3) If the Final Price of the Underlying Stock is not below the Trigger Price on the Final Valuation Date, the Final Stock Price represents the closing price of the Underlying Stock as of the Final Valuation Date. If the Final Price of the Underlying Stock is below the Trigger Price on the Final Valuation Date, the Final Stock Price represents the closing price of the Underlying Stock as of the Maturity Date.
   
(4) The total return on the Underlying Stock at maturity includes a 0.25% cash dividend payment.
   
(5) Payment consists of the Principal Amount plus Coupon Payments of 10.25% per annum.
   
(6) The total return on the Notes at maturity includes Coupon Payments of 10.25% per annum.
   
(7) Value of payment consists of the market value of one share of the Underlying Stock, valued as of the Maturity Date, plus Coupon Payments of 9.00% per annum.
   
(8) If a Trigger Event occurs, the total return on the Notes at maturity will only be positive in the event that the market price of the Underlying Stock on the Maturity Date is substantially greater than the Final Price of the Underlying Stock on the Final Valuation Date. Such an increase in price is not likely to occur.

The numbers appearing in these hypothetical examples have been rounded for ease of analysis.

What Are the Tax Consequences of the Notes?

You should review carefully the section entitled “Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” in the accompanying product supplement no. UBS-8-A-I, bearing in mind that the Notes do not have an Observation Period or Observation Days. Subject to the limitations described therein, and based on certain factual representations received from us, in the opinion of our special tax counsel, Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, it is reasonable to treat the Notes as units comprising an Option and a debt component for U.S. federal income tax purposes. For each Note offering, we will determine the portion of each Coupon Payment that we will allocate to interest on the debt component and to Premium, respectively, and will provide that allocation in the pricing supplement for the Notes. By purchasing the Notes, you agree to treat the Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes consistently with our treatment and allocation as described above. If the Notes had priced on February 2, 2010, we would have treated as interest on the debt component and as Premium the following amounts:

Underlying Stock Coupon per Annum Interest on Debt
Component per Annum
Premium Component
per Annum

The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. 8.75% 0.28% 8.47%
International Paper Company 10.25% 0.28% 9.97%

The actual allocation that we will determine for each Note offering may differ from this hypothetical allocation, and will depend upon a variety of factors, including actual market conditions and our borrowing costs for debt instruments of comparable maturities on the Pricing Date. Assuming this characterization is respected, amounts treated as interest on the debt component will be taxed as ordinary income, while the Premium will not be taken into account prior to maturity or sale. However, there are other reasonable treatments that the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) or a court may adopt, in which case the timing and character of any income or loss on the Notes could be significantly and adversely affected. In addition, in December 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. 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 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. Non-U.S. Holders should also note that they may be withheld upon at a rate of up to 30% unless they have submitted a properly completed IRS Form W-8BEN or otherwise satisfied the applicable documentation requirements. 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 debt component and the Option.

Subject to certain assumptions and representations received from us, the discussion in the preceding paragraph, when read in combination with the section entitled “Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” in the accompanying product supplement, constitutes the full opinion of Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP regarding the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of owning and disposing of Notes.

Key Risks

An investment in the Notes involves significant risks. Investing in the Notes is not equivalent to investing directly in applicable Underlying Stock. These risks are explained in more detail in the “Risk Factors” section of the accompanying product supplement no. UBS-8-A-I.

Risks Relating to the Notes Generally

® Your Investment in the Notes May Result in a Loss — The Notes do not guarantee any return of principal. The payment at maturity will be based on whether the Final Price of the applicable Underlying Stock has declined below the applicable Trigger Price. If the Final Price of the Underlying Stock is less than the Trigger Price on the Final Valuation Date, you will receive at maturity for each Note one share of the applicable Underlying Stock. The market value of one share of the Underlying Stock you may receive at maturity is expected to be less than the principal amount of your Notes and may be zero. Accordingly, you could lose up to the entire principal amount of your Notes.
 
® Credit Risk of JPMorgan Chase & Co. — The Notes are senior unsecured debt obligations of the issuer, JPMorgan Chase & Co. and are not, either directly or indirectly, an obligation of any third party. Any payment to be made on the Notes, including any element of protection provided at maturity, depends on the ability of JPMorgan Chase & Co. to satisfy its obligations as they come due. As a result, the actual and perceived creditworthiness of JPMorgan Chase & Co. may affect the market value of the Notes and, in the event JPMorgan Chase & Co. were to default on its obligations, you may not receive any element of protection or any other amounts owed to you under the terms of the Notes.
 
® Certain Built-In Costs Are Likely to Affect Adversely the Value of the Notes Prior to Maturity — While the payment at maturity, if any, described in this free writing prospectus is based on the full principal amount of your Notes, the original issue price of the Notes includes UBS’s commission and the estimated cost of hedging our obligations under the Notes. As a result, and as a general matter, the price, if any, at which J.P. Morgan Securities Inc., which we refer to as JPMSI, will be willing to purchase Notes from you in secondary market transactions, if at all, will likely be lower than the original issue price and any sale prior to the Maturity Date could result in a substantial loss to you. This secondary market price will also be affected by a number of factors aside from UBS’s

8



commission and our hedging costs, including those set forth under “Many Economic and Market Factors Will Impact the Value of the Notes” below. The Notes are not designed to be short-term trading instruments. Accordingly, you should be able and willing to hold your Notes to maturity.
 
® Contingent Protection Applies Only If You Hold the Notes to Maturity — Your principal will be protected only if the Final Price of the applicable Underlying Stock is not below the applicable Trigger Price on the Final Valuation Date and the Notes are held to maturity. If the Final Price of the applicable Underlying Stock is below the applicable Trigger Price on the Final Valuation Date, the contingent protection feature will be eliminated and you will be fully exposed at maturity to any decline in the market price of the applicable Underlying Stock. Greater expected volatility with respect to a Note’s applicable Underlying Stock indicates a greater likelihood as of the Trade Date that a stock could close below its Trigger Price on the Final Valuation Date of the Note. A stock’s volatility, however, can change significantly over the term of the Notes. The price of the applicable Underlying Stock for your Note could fall sharply, which could result in a significant loss of principal.
 
® Risk of Loss of Contingent Protection on the Final Valuation Date — If the closing price of the applicable Underlying Stock on the Final Valuation Date (i.e., the Final Price) declines below the applicable Trigger Price, you will be fully exposed to any depreciation in the applicable Underlying Stock. Because the Final Price will be determined based on the closing price on a single trading day near the end of the term of the Notes, the price of the applicable Underlying Stock at the Maturity Date or at other times during the term of the Notes could be at a level above the applicable Trigger Price. This difference could be particularly large if there is a significant decrease in the price of the applicable Underlying Stock during the later portion of the term of the Notes or if there is significant volatility in the price of the applicable Underlying Stock during the term of the Notes, especially on dates near the Final Valuation Date.
 
® Your Return on the Notes Is Limited to the Principal Amount Plus Accrued Interest, Regardless of any Appreciation in the Value of the Underlying Stock, Except in Limited Circumstances — Unless the applicable Final Price is less than the applicable Trigger Price, for each Note, you will receive the principal amount at maturity plus any accrued and unpaid interest, regardless of any appreciation in the value of the applicable Underlying Stock, which may be significant. Your return on the Notes will not exceed the aggregate amount of the coupons payable over the term of the Notes unless (a) the Final Share Price of the applicable Underlying Stock is less than the applicable Trigger Price and (b) the closing price of the applicable Underlying Stock at maturity plus the Coupon Payments is greater than the applicable Initial Price. This kind of appreciation is not likely to occur in such a short time frame. Accordingly, the return on the Notes may be significantly less than the return on a direct investment in the applicable Underlying Stock during the term of the Notes.
 
® Single Stock Risk — The price of the applicable Underlying Stock can rise or fall sharply due to factors specific to that applicable Underlying Stock and its issuer, such as stock price volatility, earnings, financial conditions, corporate, industry and regulatory developments, management changes and decisions and other events, as well as general market factors, such as general stock market volatility and levels, interest rates and economic and political conditions.
 
® No Ownership Rights in the Underlying Stock — As a holder of the Notes, you will not have any ownership interest or rights in the applicable Underlying Stock, such as voting rights or dividend payments. In addition, the issuer of the applicable Underlying Stock will not have any obligation to consider your interests as a holder of the Notes in taking any corporate action that might affect the value of the applicable Underlying Stock and the Notes.
 
® No Affiliation With the Underlying Stock Issuer — We are not affiliated with the issuer of the applicable Underlying Stock. We assume no responsibility for the adequacy of the information about the applicable Underlying Stock issuer contained in this free writing prospectus or in product supplement no. UBS-8-A-I. You should make your own investigation into the applicable Underlying Stock and its issuer. We are not responsible for the applicable Underlying Stock issuer’s public disclosure of information, whether contained in SEC filings or otherwise.
 
® Lack of Liquidity — The Notes will not be listed on any securities exchange. JPMSI intends to offer to purchase the Notes in the secondary market, but is not required to do so. Even if there is a secondary market, it may not provide enough liquidity to allow you to trade or sell the Notes easily. Because other dealers are not likely to make a secondary market for the Notes, the price at which you may be able to trade your Notes is likely to depend on the price, if any, at which JPMSI is willing to buy the Notes.
 
® Potential Conflicts — We and our affiliates play a variety of roles in connection with the issuance of the Notes, including acting as calculation agent and hedging our obligations under the Notes. In performing these duties, the economic interests of the calculation agent and other affiliates of ours are potentially adverse to your interests as an investor in the Notes. We and/or our affiliates may also currently or from time to time engage in business with the issuer of the applicable Underlying Stock, including extending loans to, or making equity investments in, the issuer of the applicable Underlying Stock or providing advisory services to the issuer of the applicable Underlying Stock. As a prospective purchaser of the Notes, you should undertake an independent investigation of the issuer of the applicable Underlying Stock as in your judgment is appropriate to make an informed decision with respect to an investment in the Notes.
 
® Anti-Dilution Protection Is Limited and May Be Discretionary — Although the calculation agent will adjust the amount payable at maturity by adjusting the number of shares of the applicable Underlying Stock that may be delivered for certain corporate events (such as stock splits and stock dividends) affecting the applicable Underlying Stock, the calculation agent is not required to make an adjustment for every corporate event that can affect the applicable Underlying Stock. If an event occurs that does not require the calculation agent to adjust the number of shares of applicable Underlying Stock that may be delivered at maturity, the market value of your Notes and the payment at maturity may be materially and adversely affected. You should also be aware that the calculation agent may make any such adjustment, determination or calculation in a manner that differs from what is described in the accompanying product supplement as it deems necessary to ensure an equitable result. Subject to the foregoing, the calculation agent is under no obligation to consider your interests as a holder of the Notes in making these determinations.

9



® Hedging and Trading in the Underlying Stock — While the Notes are outstanding, we or any of our affiliates may carry out hedging activities related to the Notes, including in the applicable Underlying Stock or instruments related to the applicable Underlying Stock. We or our affiliates may also trade in the applicable Underlying Stock or instruments related to the applicable Underlying Stock from time to time. Any of these hedging or trading activities as of the Trade Date and during the term of the Notes could adversely affect our payment to you at maturity.
 
® Potentially Inconsistent Research, Opinions or Recommendations by JPMSI, UBS or Their Affiliates — JPMSI, UBS or their affiliates may publish research, express opinions or provide recommendations (for example, with respect to the issuer of the applicable Underlying Stock) that are inconsistent with investing in or holding the Notes, and which may be revised at any time. Any such research, opinions or recommendations may or may not recommend that investors buy or hold the applicable Underlying Stock and could affect the value of the applicable Underlying Stock, and therefore the market value of the Notes.
 
® Tax Treatment — Significant aspects of the tax treatment of the Notes are uncertain. You should consult your tax adviser about your tax situation.
 
® Potential JPMorgan Chase & Co. Impact on Price — Trading or transactions by JPMorgan Chase & Co. or its affiliates in the applicable Underlying Stock or in futures, options or other derivative products on the applicable Underlying Stock may adversely affect the market value of the applicable Underlying Stock and, therefore, the market value of the Notes.
 

®

Many Economic and Market Factors Will Influence the Value of the Notes — In addition to the value of the applicable Underlying Stock and interest rates on any trading day, the value of the Notes will be affected by a number of economic and market factors that may either offset or magnify each other and which are set out in more detail in product supplement no. UBS-8-A-I.
