Notes

(1)  Represents the performance of the Index based on, as applicable to the
     relevant measurement period, the hypothetical backtested daily Index
     closing levels from April 30, 2002 through June 2, 2011, and the actual
     historical performance of the Index based on the daily Index closing level
     from June 3, 2011 through April 30, 2012, as well as the performance of the
     SandP 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 SandP 500[R] Index or
     any alternative investment strategy. Source: Bloomberg and JPMorgan.


(2)  Calculated based on the annualized standard deviation for the ten year
     period prior to April 30, 2012. Past performance is not indicative of
     future returns.

(3)  The historical volatility levels of the SandP 500[R] Index are presented
     for informational purposes only and have inherent limitations. For the
     purpose of this graph, volatility is calculated in accordance with Standard
     and Poor's official methodology used in the calculation of the SandP 500[R]
     RC2 Index. No representation is made that in the future the SandP 500[R]
     Index will have the volatility shown above. Alternative modeling techniques
     or assumptions might produce significantly different results and may prove
     to be more appropriate. The hypothetical equity exposure obtained from such
     back-testing should not be considered indicative of the actual exposure
     that would be assigned during your investment in the Index. No
     representation is made that the actual performance of the Index would
     result in exposure consistent with the hypothetical exposure displayed in
     the preceding graph. Actual annualized volatilities and exposures will
     vary, perhaps materially, from this analysis. Source: Bloomberg and
     JPMorgan.

(4)  Correlation is calculated from the historical returns, as applicable to the
     relevant measurement period, of the SandP 500[R] Index (the "Underlying
     Index") over a six-month observation period. Correlation refers to the
     degree that the SandP 500 RC2 8% Excess Return Index has changed relative
     to daily changes in the SandP 500 Index Index for the ten year period prior
     to April 30, 2012.

(5)  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.


KEY RISKS

[]   The Index has a limited operating history and may perform in unexpected
     ways -- the Index began publishing on June 3, 2011 and, therefore, has a
     limited history. SandP 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.


[]   The Index may not be successful, may not outperform either 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 Equity Index or the Underlying Bond Index or any
     alternative strategy that might be employed to reduce the level of risk of
     the Underlying Equity Index. We also can give you no assurance that the
     Index will achieve its target volatility of 8%.

[]   The Index may significantly underperform the Underlying Equity Index --the
     Index is designed to allocate its exposure between the Underlying Equity
     Index and the Underlying Bond Index in a manner that results in the Index
     targeting a volatility of 8%.It is not possible to predict the level of
     exposure that the Index will have to either the Underlying Equity Index or
     Underlying Bond Index over a given period of time. However the Index will
     likely have less, and possibly significantly less, than 100% exposure to
     the Underlying Equity Index over a period of time. Consequently, if the
     Underlying Equity Index increases in value over the applicable period, the
     Index will likely underperform the Underlying Equity Index, possibly
     significantly, over the same period if the Underlying Bond Index declines
     or does not increase in value to the same extent over that period. If the
     Underlying Equity Index and the Underlying Bond Index are negatively
     correlated and the Index has relatively high exposure to the Underlying
     Bond Index and relatively low exposure to the Underlying Equity Index, the
     Index may experience a significant negative performance even as the
     Underlying Equity Index rises.

[]   In certain circumstances, the Index will be notionally invested, in part,
     in cash, on which no interest or other return will accrue --in certain
     circumstances the Index will be solely allocated to the Underlying Equity
     Index with a weight less than 100% and with the balance notionally
     allocated to cash. No net return or interest will accrue on any such
     portion of the Index exposure that is notionally allocated to cash, and
     such portion may be significant. Such portion is effectively uninvested.

[]   The Index is subject to the negative impact of an interest
     deduction--because the Index is an excess return index, the level of the
     Index reflects the weighted returns of the Underlying Indices less an
     interest deduction, which is generally based on the return from a synthetic
     daily roling 3-month bond, with reference to the 2-month and 3-month U.S.
     LIBOR rates. As a result, the performance of the Index will be subject to
     the negative impact of those interest rates.


KEY RISKS CONTINUED

[]   The returns of the Underlying Indicies may offset each other or may become
     correlated in decline --at a time when the value of one Underlying Index
     increases, the value of the other Underlying Index may not increase as much
     or may even decline, offsetting the potentially positive effect of the
     performance of the former Underlying Index on the performance of the Index.
     Historically, the performance of the Underlying Equity Index has often been
     negatively correlated with the performance of the futures contracts
     underlying the Underlying Bond Index. It is also possible that the returns
     of the Underlying Indices may be positively correlated with each other. In
     this case, a decline in one Underlying Index would not moderate the effect
     of a decline in the other Underlying Index on the performance of the Index,
     but would rather exacerbate it. As a result, the Index may not perform as
     well as an alternative index that tracks only one Underlying Index.
