Structured Investments		JPMorgan Chase & Co. $ Reverse Exchangeable Notes due July 20, 2009 Each Linked to the Common Stock of a Different Single Reference Stock Issuer

General

This term sheet relates to three (3) separate note offerings. Each issue of offered notes is linked to one, and only one, Reference Stock. You may participate in any of the three (3) note offerings or, at your election, in two or more of the offerings. This term sheet does not, however, allow you to purchase a note linked to a basket of some or all of the Reference Stocks described below.
The notes are designed for investors who seek an interest rate that is higher than the current dividend yield on the applicable Reference Stock or the yield on a conventional debt security with the same maturity issued by us or an issuer with a comparable credit rating. Investors should be willing to forgo the potential to participate in the appreciation of the applicable Reference Stock, be willing to accept the risks of owning the common stock of the applicable Reference Stock issuer, and be willing to lose some or all of their principal at maturity.
Investing in the notes is not equivalent to investing in the shares of an issuer of any of the Reference Stocks.
Each issue of offered notes will pay interest monthly at the fixed rate specified for that issue below. However, the notes do not guarantee any return of principal at maturity. Instead, the payment at maturity will be based on the Final Share Price of the applicable Reference Stock and whether the closing price of the applicable Reference Stock has declined from the applicable Initial Share Price by more than the applicable Protection Amount during the Monitoring Period, as described below.
Payment at maturity for each $1,000 principal amount note will be either a cash payment of $1,000 or delivery of shares of the applicable Reference Stock (or, at our election, the Cash Value thereof), in each case, together with any accrued and unpaid interest, as described below.
Minimum denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof.

Key Terms

Payment at Maturity:	The payment at maturity, in excess of any accrued and unpaid interest, is based on the performance of the applicable Reference Stock. You will receive $1,000 for each $1,000 principal amount note, plus any accrued and unpaid interest at maturity, unless:
	(1)	the applicable Final Share Price is less than the applicable Initial Share Price; and
	(2)	on any day during the Monitoring Period, the closing price of the applicable Reference Stock has declined, as compared to the applicable Initial Share Price, by more than the applicable Protection Amount.
	If the conditions described in both (1) and (2) are satisfied, at maturity you will receive, in addition to any accrued and unpaid interest, instead of the principal amount of your notes, the number of shares of the applicable Reference Stock equal to the applicable Physical Delivery Amount (or, at our election, the Cash Value thereof). Fractional shares will be paid in cash. The market value of the Physical Delivery Amount or the Cash Value thereof will most likely be substantially less than the principal amount of your notes, and may be zero.
Pricing Date:	On or about January 14, 2009
Settlement Date:	On or about January 20, 2009
Observation Date:	July 15, 2009*
Maturity Date:	July 20, 2009*
Interest Payment Dates:	Interest on the notes will be payable monthly in arrears on the 20th calendar day of each month (each such date, an “Interest Payment Date”), commencing February 20, 2009, to and including the Maturity Date. See “Selected Purchase Considerations — Monthly Interest Payments” in this term sheet for more information.
Monitoring Period:	The period from the Pricing Date to and including the Observation Date.
Physical Delivery Amount:	The number of shares of the applicable Reference Stock, per $1,000 principal amount note, equal to $1,000 divided by the applicable Initial Share Price, subject to adjustments.
Cash Value:	For each Reference Stock, the amount in cash equal to the product of (1) $1,000 divided by the Initial Share Price of such Reference Stock and (2) the Final Share Price of such Reference Stock, subject to adjustments.
Initial Share Price:	The closing price of the applicable Reference Stock on the Pricing Date. The Initial Share Price is subject to adjustments in certain circumstances. See “Description of Notes — Payment at Maturity” and “General Terms of Notes — Anti-dilution Adjustments” in the accompanying product supplement no. 34-A-I for further information about these adjustments.
Final Share Price:	The closing price of the applicable Reference Stock on the Observation Date.

Additional Terms Specific to Each Note Offering

This term sheet relates to three (3) separate note offerings. Each issue of offered notes is linked to one, and only one, Reference Stock. The purchaser of a note will acquire a security linked to a single Reference Stock (not to a basket or index that includes another Reference Stock). You may participate in any of the three (3) note offerings or, at your election, in two or more of the offerings. We reserve the right to withdraw, cancel or modify any offering and to reject orders in whole or in part. While each note offering relates only to a single Reference 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 Reference Stock (or any other Reference Stock) or as to the suitability of an investment in the notes.

You should read this term sheet 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. 34-A-I dated November 21, 2008. This term sheet, together with the documents listed below, contains the terms of the notes and supersedes all other prior or contemporaneous oral statements as well as any other written materials including preliminary or indicative pricing terms, correspondence, trade ideas, structures for implementation, sample structures, fact sheets, brochures or other educational materials of ours. You should carefully consider, among other things, the matters set forth in “Risk Factors” in the accompanying product supplement no. 34-A-I, as the notes involve risks not associated with conventional debt securities. We urge you to consult your investment, legal, tax, accounting and other advisers before you invest in the notes.

Selected Purchase Considerations

THE NOTES OFFER A HIGHER INTEREST RATE THAN THE YIELD ON DEBT SECURITIES OF COMPARABLE MATURITY ISSUED BY US OR AN ISSUER WITH A COMPARABLE CREDIT RATING — The notes will pay interest at an Interest Rate depending upon the applicable Reference Stock, as indicated on the cover of this term sheet. We believe that the applicable Interest Rate is higher than the yield received on debt securities of comparable maturity issued by us or an issuer with a comparable credit rating. Because the notes are our senior unsecured obligations, any interest payment or any payment at maturity is subject to our ability to pay our obligations as they become due.
MONTHLY INTEREST PAYMENTS — The notes offer monthly interest payments at the applicable Interest Rate set forth on the cover of this term sheet. Interest will be payable monthly in arrears on the 20th calendar day of each month (each such date, an “Interest Payment Date”), commencing February 20, 2009, to and including the Maturity Date, to the holders of record at the close of business on the date 15 calendar days prior to the applicable Interest Payment Date. If an Interest Payment Date is not a business day, payment will be made on the next business day immediately following such day, but no additional interest will accrue as a result of the delayed payment.
THE NOTES DO NOT GUARANTEE THE RETURN OF YOUR PRINCIPAL — Your return of principal at maturity is protected if the applicable Final Share Price does not decline from the applicable Initial Share Price or the closing price of the applicable Reference Stock does not decline, as compared to the applicable Initial Share Price, by more than the applicable Protection Amount on any day during the Monitoring Period. However, if the applicable Final Share Price declines from the applicable Initial Share Price and the closing price of the applicable Reference Stock on any day during the Monitoring Period has declined by more than the applicable Protection Amount, you could lose the entire principal amount of your notes.
TAX TREATMENT AS A UNIT COMPRISING A PUT OPTION AND A DEPOSIT — You should review carefully the section entitled “Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” in the accompanying product supplement no. 34-A-I. We and you agree (in the absence of an administrative determination or judicial ruling to the contrary) to treat the notes as units comprising a Put Option and a Deposit for U.S. federal income tax purposes. We will determine the portion of each coupon payment that we will allocate to interest on the Deposit and to Put Premium, respectively, and will provide that allocation in the pricing supplement for the notes. If the notes had priced on January 2, 2009, of each coupon payment, we would have treated the percentages specified on the cover of this term sheet as interest on the Deposit and as Put Premium, respectively. The actual allocation that we will determine for the notes 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 Deposit will be taxed as ordinary income while the Put 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, on December 7, 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 Put 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. 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 Deposit and the Put Option.

Selected Risk Considerations

An investment in the notes involves significant risks. Investing in the notes is not equivalent to investing directly in any of the Reference Stocks. These risks are explained in more detail in the “Risk Factors” section of the accompanying product supplement no. 34-A-I dated November 21, 2008.

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 the applicable Final Share Price and whether the closing price of the applicable Reference Stock has declined from the applicable Initial Share Price by more than the applicable Protection Amount on any day during the Monitoring Period. Under certain circumstances, you will receive at maturity a predetermined number of shares of the applicable Reference Stock (or, at our election, the Cash Value thereof). The market value of those shares of the applicable Reference Stock or the Cash Value thereof will most likely be less than the principal amount of each note and may be zero. Accordingly, you could lose up to the entire principal amount of your notes.
YOUR PROTECTION MAY TERMINATE ON ANY DAY DURING THE TERM OF THE NOTES — If, on any day during the Monitoring Period, the closing price of the applicable Reference Stock declines below the applicable Initial Share Price minus the applicable Protection Amount, you will at maturity be fully exposed to any depreciation in the applicable Reference Stock. We refer to this feature as a contingent buffer. Under these circumstances, and if the applicable Final Share Price is less than the applicable Initial Share Price, you will receive at maturity a predetermined number of shares of the applicable Reference Stock (or, at our election, the Cash Value thereof) and, consequently, you will lose 1% of the principal amount of your investment for every 1% decline in the applicable Final Share Price compared to the applicable Initial Share Price. You will be subject to this potential loss of principal even if the closing price of the applicable Reference Stock subsequently recovers such that the applicable Final Share Price is above its Initial Share Price minus its Protection Amount. If these notes had a non-contingent buffer feature, under the same scenario, you would have received the full principal amount of your notes plus accrued and unpaid interest at maturity. As a result, your investment in the notes may not perform as well as an investment in a security with a return that includes a non-contingent buffer.
CREDIT RISK OF JPMORGAN CHASE & CO. — The notes are subject to the credit risk of JPMorgan Chase & Co. and our credit ratings and credit spreads may adversely affect the market value of the notes. Investors are dependent on JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s ability to pay all amounts due on the notes at maturity, and therefore investors are subject to our credit risk and to changes in the market’s view of our creditworthiness. Any decline in our credit ratings or increase in the credit spreads charged by the market for taking our credit risk is likely to adversely affect the value of the notes.
YOUR RETURN ON THE NOTES IS LIMITED TO THE PRINCIPAL AMOUNT PLUS ACCRUED INTEREST REGARDLESS OF ANY APPRECIATION IN THE VALUE OF THE APPLICABLE REFERENCE STOCK — Unless (i) the applicable Final Share Price is less than the applicable Initial Share Price and (ii) on any day during the Monitoring Period, the closing price of the applicable Reference Stock has declined, as compared to the applicable Initial Share Price, by more than the applicable Protection Amount, for each $1,000 principal amount note, you will receive $1,000 at maturity plus any accrued and unpaid interest, regardless of any appreciation in the value of the applicable Reference Stock, which may be significant. Accordingly, the return on the notes may be significantly less than the return on a direct investment in the applicable Reference Stock during the term of the notes.
NO OWNERSHIP RIGHTS IN THE APPLICABLE REFERENCE STOCK — As a holder of the notes, you will not have any ownership interest or rights in the applicable Reference Stock, such as voting rights or dividend payments. In addition, the applicable Reference Stock issuer 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 Reference Stock and the notes.
NO AFFILIATION WITH THE REFERENCE STOCK ISSUERS — We are not affiliated with the issuers of the Reference Stocks. We assume no responsibility for the adequacy of the information about the Reference Stock issuers contained in this term sheet or in product supplement no. 34-A-I. You should make your own investigation into the Reference Stocks and their issuers. We are not responsible for the Reference Stock issuers’ public disclosure of information, whether contained in SEC filings or otherwise.
CERTAIN BUILT-IN COSTS ARE LIKELY TO ADVERSELY AFFECT THE VALUE OF THE NOTES PRIOR TO MATURITY — While the payment at maturity described in this term sheet is based on the full principal amount of your notes, the original issue price of the notes includes the agent’s commission and the cost of hedging our obligations under the notes through one or more of our affiliates. As a result, and as a general matter, the price, if any, at which 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 the agent’s commission and hedging costs, including those referred to 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.
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. 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 Reference Stock issuers, including extending loans to, or making equity investments in, such Reference Stock issuer(s) or providing advisory services to such Reference Stock issuer(s). In addition, one or more of our affiliates may publish research reports or otherwise express opinions with respect to the Reference Stock issuers and these reports may or may not recommend that investors buy or hold the Reference Stock(s). As a prospective purchaser of the notes, you should undertake an independent investigation of the applicable Reference Stock issuer that in your judgment is appropriate to make an informed decision with respect to an investment in the notes.
HEDGING AND TRADING IN THE REFERENCE STOCKS — While the notes are outstanding, we or any of our affiliates may carry out hedging activities related to the notes, including in the Reference Stocks or instruments related to such Reference Stock(s). We or our affiliates may also trade in the Reference Stocks or instruments related to Reference Stock(s) from time to time. Any of these hedging or trading activities as of the Pricing Date and during the term of the notes could adversely affect our payment to you at maturity.
MANY ECONOMIC AND MARKET FACTORS WILL INFLUENCE THE VALUE OF THE NOTES — In addition to the value of the applicable Reference 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. 34-A-I.

Examples of Hypothetical Payment at Maturity for a $1,000 Investment in the Notes Linked to the Common Stock of Apple

The following table illustrates hypothetical payments at maturity on a $1,000 investment in the notes linked to the common stock of Apple, based on a range of hypothetical Final Share Prices of the Reference Stock and assuming that the closing price of the Reference Stock declines in the manner set forth in the columns titled “Hypothetical lowest closing price during the Monitoring Period” and “Hypothetical lowest closing price expressed as a percentage of Initial Share Price during the Monitoring Period.” The numbers appearing in the following table and examples have been rounded for ease of analysis. For this table of hypothetical payments at maturity, we have also assumed the following:

• the Initial Share Price:	$90.00	• the Protection Amount (in U.S. dollars):	$31.50
• the Interest Rate:	6.50% (equivalent to 13.00% per annum)	• the Protection Amount:	35.00%


Hypothetical lowest closing price during the Monitoring Period	Hypothetical lowest closing price during the Monitoring Period expressed as a percentage of Initial Share Price	Hypothetical Final Share Price	Hypothetical Final Share Price expressed as a percentage of Initial Share Price	Payment at Maturity	Total Value of Payment Received at Maturity**

$90.00	100%	$180.00	200%	$1,000.00	$1,000.00

$45.00	50%	$94.50	105%	$1,000.00	$1,000.00

$90.00	100%	$90.00	100%	$1,000.00	$1,000.00

$58.50	65%	$58.50	65%	$1,000.00	$1,000.00

$45.00	50%	$85.50	95%	11 shares of the Reference Stock or the Cash Value thereof	$950.00

$45.00	50%	$45.00	50%	11 shares of the Reference Stock or the Cash Value thereof	$500.00

$22.50	25%	$22.50	25%	11 shares of the Reference Stock or the Cash Value thereof	$250.00

$0.00	0%	$0.00	0%	11 shares of the Reference Stock or the Cash Value thereof	$0.00

Note that you will receive at maturity any accrued and unpaid interest in cash, in addition to either shares of the Reference Stock (or, at our election, the Cash Value thereof) or the principal amount of your note in cash. Also note that if you receive the Physical Delivery Amount, the total value of payment received at maturity shown in the table above includes the value of any fractional shares, which will be paid in cash.

The following examples illustrate how the total value of payments received at maturity set forth in the table above are calculated.

Example 1: The lowest closing price of the Reference Stock during the Monitoring Period was $45.00 but the Final Share Price is $94.50. Because the Final Share Price of $94.50 is greater than the Initial Share Price of $90.00, you will receive a payment at maturity of $1,000 per $1,000 principal amount note.

Example 2: The lowest closing price of the Reference Stock during the Monitoring Period was $45.00 and the Final Share Price is $85.50. Because the Final Share Price of $85.50 is less than the Initial Share Price of $90.00 and the closing price of the Reference Stock declined by more than the Protection Amount on at least one day during the Monitoring Period, you will receive the Physical Delivery Amount, or at our election, the Cash Value thereof, at maturity. Because the Final Share Price of the Reference Stock is $85.50, the total value of your final payment at maturity, whether in cash or shares of the Reference Stock, is $950.00.

Example 3: The closing price of the Reference Stock does not decline, as compared with the Initial Share Price, by more than the Protection Amount on any day during the Monitoring Period prior to the Observation Date. However, the closing price of the Reference Stock on the Observation Date is $45.00, a decline of more than the Protection Amount. Because the Final Share Price of $45.00 is less than the Initial Share Price of $90.00 and the Final Share Price has declined by more than the Protection Amount, you will receive the Physical Delivery Amount, or at our election, the Cash Value thereof, at maturity. Because the Final Share Price of the Reference Stock is $45.00, the total value of your final payment at maturity, whether in cash or shares of the Reference Stock, is $500.00.

Example 4: The Final Share Price of $58.50 is less than the Initial Share Price of $90.00 but does not decline by more than the Protection Amount and the closing price of the Reference Stock does not decline by more than the Protection Amount on any day during the Monitoring Period. Because the closing price of the Reference Stock has not declined by more than the Protection Amount, you will receive a payment at maturity of $1,000 per $1,000 principal amount note, even though the Final Share Price of $58.50 is less than the Initial Share Price of $90.00.

Regardless of the performance of the Reference Stock or the payment you receive at maturity, you will receive interest payments, for each $1,000 principal amount note, in the aggregate amount of approximately $65.00 over the term of the notes. If we had priced the notes on January 2, 2009, you would have received 11 shares of the Reference Stock or, at our election, the Cash Value thereof, at maturity, provided the Final Share Price declined from the Initial Share Price and the closing price of the Reference Stock declined by more than the Protection Amount from the Initial Share Price on at least one day during the Monitoring Period. The actual number of shares of the Reference Stock, or the Cash Value thereof, you may receive at maturity and the actual Protection Amount applicable to your notes may be more or less than the amounts displayed in this hypothetical and will depend in part on the closing price of the Reference Stock on the Pricing Date.

Examples of Hypothetical Payment at Maturity for a $1,000 Investment in the Notes Linked to the Common Stock of GE

The following table illustrates hypothetical payments at maturity on a $1,000 investment in the notes linked to the common stock of GE, based on a range of hypothetical Final Share Prices of the Reference Stock and assuming that the closing price of the Reference Stock declines in the manner set forth in the columns titled “Hypothetical lowest closing price during the Monitoring Period” and “Hypothetical lowest closing price expressed as a percentage of Initial Share Price during the Monitoring Period.” The numbers appearing in the following table and examples have been rounded for ease of analysis. For this table of hypothetical payments at maturity, we have also assumed the following:

• the Initial Share Price:	$17.00	• the Protection Amount (in U.S. dollars):	$6.80
• the Interest Rate:	5.00% (equivalent to 10.00% per annum)	• the Protection Amount:	40.00%


Hypothetical lowest closing price during the Monitoring Period	Hypothetical lowest closing price during the Monitoring Period expressed as a percentage of Initial Share Price	Hypothetical Final Share Price	Hypothetical Final Share Price expressed as a percentage of Initial Share Price	Payment at Maturity	Total Value of Payment Received at Maturity**

$17.00	100%	$34.00	200%	$1,000.00	$1,000.00

$8.50	50%	$17.85	105%	$1,000.00	$1,000.00

$17.00	100%	$17.00	100%	$1,000.00	$1,000.00

$10.20	60%	$10.20	60%	$1,000.00	$1,000.00

$8.50	50%	$16.15	95%	58 shares of the Reference Stock or the Cash Value thereof	$950.00

$8.50	50%	$8.50	50%	58 shares of the Reference Stock or the Cash Value thereof	$500.00

$4.25	25%	$4.25	25%	58 shares of the Reference Stock or the Cash Value thereof	$250.00

$0.00	0%	$0.00	0%	58 shares of the Reference Stock or the Cash Value thereof	$0.00

The following examples illustrate how the total value of payments received at maturity set forth in the table above are calculated.

Example 1: The lowest closing price of the Reference Stock during the Monitoring Period was $8.50 but the Final Share Price is $17.85. Because the Final Share Price of $17.85 is greater than the Initial Share Price of $17.00, you will receive a payment at maturity of $1,000 per $1,000 principal amount note.

Example 2: The lowest closing price of the Reference Stock during the Monitoring Period was $8.50 and the Final Share Price is $16.15. Because the Final Share Price of $16.15 is less than the Initial Share Price of $17.00 and the closing price of the Reference Stock declined by more than the Protection Amount on at least one day during the Monitoring Period, you will receive the Physical Delivery Amount, or at our election, the Cash Value thereof, at maturity. Because the Final Share Price of the Reference Stock is $16.15, the total value of your final payment at maturity, whether in cash or shares of the Reference Stock, is $950.00.

Example 3: The closing price of the Reference Stock does not decline, as compared with the Initial Share Price, by more than the Protection Amount on any day during the Monitoring Period prior to the Observation Date. However, the closing price of the Reference Stock on the Observation Date is $8.50, a decline of more than the Protection Amount. Because the Final Share Price of $8.50 is less than the Initial Share Price of $17.00 and the Final Share Price has declined by more than the Protection Amount, you will receive the Physical Delivery Amount, or at our election, the Cash Value thereof, at maturity. Because the Final Share Price of the Reference Stock is $8.50, the total value of your final payment at maturity, whether in cash or shares of the Reference Stock, is $500.00.

Example 4: The Final Share Price of $10.20 is less than the Initial Share Price of $17.00 but does not decline by more than the Protection Amount and the closing price of the Reference Stock does not decline by more than the Protection Amount on any day during the Monitoring Period. Because the closing price of the Reference Stock has not declined by more than the Protection Amount, you will receive a payment at maturity of $1,000 per $1,000 principal amount note, even though the Final Share Price of $10.20 is less than the Initial Share Price of $17.00.

Regardless of the performance of the Reference Stock or the payment you receive at maturity, you will receive interest payments, for each $1,000 principal amount note, in the aggregate amount of approximately $50.00 over the term of the notes. If we had priced the notes on January 2, 2009, you would have received 58 shares of the Reference Stock or, at our election, the Cash Value thereof, at maturity, provided the Final Share Price declined from the Initial Share Price and the closing price of the Reference Stock declined by more than the Protection Amount from the Initial Share Price on at least one day during the Monitoring Period. The actual number of shares of the Reference Stock, or the Cash Value thereof, you may receive at maturity and the actual Protection Amount applicable to your notes may be more or less than the amounts displayed in this hypothetical and will depend in part on the closing price of the Reference Stock on the Pricing Date.

$0.00	0%	$0.00	0%	13 shares of the Reference Stock or the Cash Value thereof	$0.00

The following examples illustrate how the total value of payments received at maturity set forth in the table above are calculated.

Example 1: The lowest closing price of the Reference Stock during the Monitoring Period was $37.00 but the Final Share Price is $77.70. Because the Final Share Price of $77.70 is greater than the Initial Share Price of $74.00, you will receive a payment at maturity of $1,000 per $1,000 principal amount note.

Example 2: The lowest closing price of the Reference Stock during the Monitoring Period was $37.00 and the Final Share Price is $70.30. Because the Final Share Price of $70.30 is less than the Initial Share Price of $74.00 and the closing price of the Reference Stock declined by more than the Protection Amount on at least one day during the Monitoring Period, you will receive the Physical Delivery Amount, or at our election, the Cash Value thereof, at maturity. Because the Final Share Price of the Reference Stock is $70.30, the total value of your final payment at maturity, whether in cash or shares of the Reference Stock, is $950.00.

Example 3: The closing price of the Reference Stock does not decline, as compared with the Initial Share Price, by more than the Protection Amount on any day during the Monitoring Period prior to the Observation Date. However, the closing price of the Reference Stock on the Observation Date is $37.00, a decline of more than the Protection Amount. Because the Final Share Price of $37.00 is less than the Initial Share Price of $74.00 and the Final Share Price has declined by more than the Protection Amount, you will receive the Physical Delivery Amount, or at our election, the Cash Value thereof, at maturity. Because the Final Share Price of the Reference Stock is $37.00, the total value of your final payment at maturity, whether in cash or shares of the Reference Stock, is $500.00.

Example 4: The Final Share Price of $44.40 is less than the Initial Share Price of $74.00 but does not decline by more than the Protection Amount and the closing price of the Reference Stock does not decline by more than the Protection Amount on any day during the Monitoring Period. Because the closing price of the Reference Stock has not declined by more than the Protection Amount, you will receive a payment at maturity of $1,000 per $1,000 principal amount note, even though the Final Share Price of $44.40 is less than the Initial Share Price of $74.00.

Regardless of the performance of the Reference Stock or the payment you receive at maturity, you will receive interest payments, for each $1,000 principal amount note, in the aggregate amount of approximately $65.00 over the term of the notes. If we had priced the notes on January 2, 2009, you would have received 13 shares of the Reference Stock or, at our election, the Cash Value thereof, at maturity, provided the Final Share Price declined from the Initial Share Price and the closing price of the Reference Stock declined by more than the Protection Amount from the Initial Share Price on at least one day during the Monitoring Period. The actual number of shares of the Reference Stock, or the Cash Value thereof, you may receive at maturity and the actual Protection Amount applicable to your notes may be more or less than the amounts displayed in this hypothetical and will depend in part on the closing price of the Reference Stock on the Pricing Date.
