General

Key Terms

Underlying:

JPMorgan Commodity Investable Global Asset Rotator Conditional Long-Short II Index (the “Commodity-IGAR Conditional Long-Short II” or the “Underlying”).

Payment at Maturity:

Payment at maturity will reflect the performance of the Underlying plus the Additional Amount. The principal amount of your notes will be fully exposed to any decline in the Ending Underlying Value, as compared to the Initial Underlying Value, provided that your final payment at maturity will not be less than zero and except that in all cases you will receive the Additional Amount at maturity. Accordingly, at maturity, you will receive an amount per $1,000 principal amount note calculated as follows:

 

$1,000 x (1 + Underlying Return) + Additional Amount

provided that your final payment at maturity will not be less than zero.

 

You may lose some or all of your investment (other than the Additional Amount) if the Ending Underlying Value declines from the Initial Underlying Value.

Additional Amount:

At least $40*.

* The actual Additional Amount will be set on the pricing date and will not be less than $40.

Underlying Return:

Ending Underlying Value – Initial Underlying Value
                    Initial Underlying Value

Initial Underlying Value:

The arithmetic average of the Underlying closing values on each of the five Initial Averaging Dates. All of the five Initial Averaging Dates will occur after the pricing date; as a result, the Initial Underlying Value will not be determined until after the pricing date.

Ending Underlying Value:

The arithmetic average of the Underlying closing value on each of the five Ending Averaging Dates.

Initial Averaging Dates:

March 25, 2008, April 1, 2008, April 8, 2008, April 15, 2008 and April 22, 2008

Ending Averaging Dates:

March 8, 2010, March 9, 2010, March 10, 2010, March 11, 2010 and March 12, 2010

Maturity Date:

March 26, 2010

Hypothetical Examples of Amounts Payable at Maturity

The following examples illustrate how the total returns set forth in the table above are calculated.

Example 1: The Ending Underlying Value increases from the Initial Underlying Value of 150 to an Ending Underlying Value of 157.50. Because the Ending Underlying Value of 157.50 is greater than the Initial Underlying Value of 150, the investor receives a payment at maturity of $1,090 per $1,000 principal amount note, calculated as follows:

$1,000 x (1 + 5%) + $40 = $1,090

Example 2: The Ending Underlying Value decreases from the Initial Underlying Value of 150 to an Ending Underlying Value of 120. Because the Ending Underlying Value of 120 is less than the Initial Underlying Value of 150, the investor receives a payment at maturity of $840 per $1,000 principal amount note, calculated as follows:

$1,000 x (1 + -20%) + $40 = $840

Example 3: The Ending Underlying Value decreases from the Initial Underlying Value of 150 to an Ending Underlying Value of 0. Because the Ending Underlying Value of 0 is less than the Initial Underlying Value of 150, the investor receives a payment at maturity of $40 per $1,000 principal amount note, which reflects the Additional Amount, calculated as follows:

$1,000 x (1 + -100%) + $40 = $40

JPMorgan Commodity Investable Global Asset Rotator Conditional Long-Short II Index

The JPMorgan Commodity Investable Global Asset Rotator Conditional Long-Short II Index (the “Commodity-IGAR Conditional Long-Short II” or the “Underlying”).

The Commodity-IGAR Conditional Long-Short II was developed and is maintained by J.P. Morgan Securities Ltd. to implement a momentum-based algorithmic strategy for commodity allocations. The Commodity-IGAR Conditional Long-Short II references the value of a synthetic portfolio selected from a limited universe of commodity sub-indices, each of which is a component of the S&P GSCITM Index (“S&P GSCITM”) and is intended to serve as a benchmark value for a particular commodity.

Historical performance data for each sub-index is run through the Commodity-IGAR Conditional Long-Short II algorithms on a monthly basis. The algorithms test each sub-index’s performance and consistency. The performance algorithm tests the year-over-year performance for each sub-index, and the consistency tests filter out sub-indices that have not demonstrated consistent positive monthly performance over a one-year period, attributing greater weight to more recent monthly periods.

If on any monthly rebalancing date, the year-over-year performance of an equally weighted basket of the referenced universe of GSCI sub-indices is a) positive and b) consistently positive, the short leg of the Commodity-IGAR Conditional Long-Short II will be de-activated.

Up to twelve sub-indices that are ranked with the strongest positive performance and successfully pass the consistency test are assigned a conditional long-short target weight of one-twelfth (1/12) in the synthetic portfolio until the next monthly rebalancing. The weighting of one-twelfth will apply to each of the strongest sub-indices even if their number is less than twelve. If the short leg of the Commodity-IGAR Conditional Long-Short II is not de-activated, up to twelve sub-indices that are ranked with the weakest negative performance and successfully pass the conditional short consistency test are assigned a conditional long-short target weight of minus one-twelfth (1/12) in the synthetic portfolio until the next monthly rebalancing. The remaining constituents are assigned a weight of zero percent (0%).

The value of the Commodity-IGAR Conditional Long-Short II is the value of the synthetic portfolio, less a deemed calculation agency fee deducted daily at an annual rate of 0.96%.

The value of the Commodity-IGAR Conditional Long-Short II is published each trading day under the Bloomberg ticker symbol “CMDT2CER”.

Selected Purchase Considerations

Selected Risk Considerations

An investment in the notes involves significant risks. Investing in the notes is not equivalent to investing directly in the S&P GSCITM constituent sub-indices, in any of the commodities whose futures contracts determine the levels of the S&P GSCITM constituent sub-indices or the constituent sub-indices of the Commodity-IGAR Conditional Long-Short II, or in any contracts relating to such commodities for which there is an active secondary market. These risks are explained in more detail in the “Risk Factors” section of the accompanying product supplement no. 123-II dated March 11, 2008.

Hypothetical Back-tested Data

The following graph sets forth the hypothetical back-tested performance of the Underlying based on the hypothetical back-tested daily Underlying closing values from January 1, 1991 through March 6, 2008, and the historical performance of the Underlying based on the daily Underlying closing values from March 7, 2008 through March 12, 2008. The Underlying was established on March 7, 2008. The Underlying closing value on March 12, 2008 was 154.7189. We obtained the Underlying closing values below from Bloomberg Financial Markets. We make no representation or warranty as to the accuracy or completeness of the information obtained from Bloomberg Financial Markets.

The hypothetical back-tested and historical values of the Underlying should not be taken as an indication of future performance, and no assurance can be given as to the Underlying closing value on any of the Initial Averaging Dates or Ending Averaging Dates. We cannot give you assurance that the performance of the Underlying will result in the return of any of your initial investment in excess of the Additional Amount of $40 per $1,000 principal amount note. The actual Additional Amount will be set on the pricing date and will not be less than $40. The data for the hypothetical back-tested performance of Commodity-IGAR Conditional Long-Short II set forth in the following graph was calculated on materially the same basis on which the performance of Commodity-IGAR Conditional Long-Short II is now calculated, but the number of S&P GSCITM sub-indices, and thus the universe of potential constituent sub-indices, has changed over time. For example, in January 1991, there were only 17 S&P GSCITM sub-indices. There are currently 24 sub-indices. Hypothetical daily performance data for Commodity-IGAR Conditional Long-Short II is net of index calculation costs of 0.96% per annum.

Supplemental Underwriting Information

JPMSI, acting as agent for JPMorgan Chase & Co., will receive a commission that will depend on market conditions on the pricing date. In no event will that commission, which includes structuring and development fees, exceed $32.50 per $1,000 principal amount note. See “Underwriting” beginning on page PS-37 of the accompanying product supplement no. 123-II.

For a different portion of the notes to be sold in this offering, an affiliated bank will receive a fee and another affiliate will receive a structuring and development fee. In no event will the total amount of these fees exceed $32.50 per $1,000 principal amount note.

We expect that delivery of the notes will be made against payment for the notes on or about the settlement date set forth on the front cover of this term sheet, which will be the fifth business day following the expected pricing date of the notes (this settlement cycle being referred to as T+5). Under Rule 15c6-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in three business days, unless the parties to that trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade notes on the pricing date or the succeeding business day will be required to specify an alternate settlement cycle at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement and should consult their own advisers.
