|
·
|
This
supplemental term sheet relates to one (1) note offering. The notes
are
linked to one, and only one, Reference Stock.
|
·
|
The
notes are
designed for investors who seek an interest rate that is higher
than the
current dividend yield on the 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 Reference
Stock, be willing to accept the risks of owning the common stock
of the
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 the Reference
Stock issuer.
|
·
|
The
notes
will pay interest monthly at the fixed rate specified 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
Reference Stock and whether the closing price of the Reference
Stock has
declined from the Initial Share Price by more than the 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 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.
|
Payment
at
Maturity:
|
The
payment
at maturity, in excess of any accrued and unpaid interest, is based
on the
performance of the 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
Final
Share Price is less than the Initial Share Price; and
(2)
on
any day
during the Monitoring Period, the closing
price
of the
Reference Stock has declined, as compared to the Initial Share Price,
by
more than the 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 Reference
Stock equal to the 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.

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 the Interest Rate indicated on the cover
of
this supplemental term sheet. We believe that the 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 Interest Rate set forth
on
the cover of this supplemental term sheet. Interest will be payable
monthly in arrears on the last
calendar day of each month, except for the final interest payment,
which
shall be payable on the Maturity Date (each such date, an “Interest
Payment Date”), commencing June 30, 2008, to
and
including the Interest Payment Date corresponding to 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 Final Share Price does
not
decline from the Initial Share Price or the closing price of the
Reference
Stock does not decline, as compared to the Initial Share Price, by
more
than the Protection Amount on any day during the Monitoring Period.
However,
if the Final Share Price declines from the Initial Share Price and
the
closing price of the Reference Stock on any day during the Monitoring
Period has declined by more than the 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-VI.
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 May 5, 2008, of each coupon
payment, we would have treated the percentages specified on the cover
of
this supplemental 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.
|
·
|
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 Final Share Price and whether the closing price
of
the Reference Stock has declined from the Initial Share Price by
more than
the Protection Amount on any day during the Monitoring Period. Under
certain circumstances, you will receive at maturity a predetermined
number
of shares of the Reference Stock (or, at our election, the Cash Value
thereof). The market value of those shares of the 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 Reference
Stock
declines below the Initial Share Price minus the Protection Amount,
you
will at maturity be fully exposed to any depreciation in the Reference
Stock. We refer to this feature as a contingent buffer. Under these
circumstances, and
if the Final
Share Price is less than the Initial Share Price, you will receive
at
maturity a predetermined number of shares of the 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
Final Share Price compared to the Initial Share Price. You will be
subject
to this potential loss of principal even if the price of the Reference
Stock subsequently recovers such that the Final Share Price is above
the
Initial Share Price minus the 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.
|
·
|
YOUR
RETURN ON THE NOTES IS LIMITED TO THE PRINCIPAL AMOUNT PLUS ACCRUED
INTEREST REGARDLESS OF ANY APPRECIATION IN THE VALUE OF THE REFERENCE
STOCK —
Unless (i) the Final Share Price is less than the Initial Share Price
and
(ii) on any day during the Monitoring Period, the closing price of
the
Reference Stock has declined, as compared to the Initial Share Price,
by
more than the 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 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
Reference
Stock during the term of the notes.
|
·
|
NO
OWNERSHIP RIGHTS IN THE REFERENCE STOCK —
As
a
holder of the notes, you will not have any ownership interest or
rights in
the Reference Stock, such as voting rights or dividend payments.
In
addition, the 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 Reference Stock and the
notes.
|
·
|
NO
AFFILIATION WITH THE REFERENCE STOCK ISSUER —
We
are not affiliated with the issuer of the Reference Stock. We assume
no
responsibility for the adequacy of the information about the Reference
Stock issuer contained in this supplemental term sheet or in product
supplement no. 34-VI. You should make your own investigation into
the
Reference Stock and its issuer. We are not responsible for the Reference
Stock issuer’s 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 supplemental 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.
|
·
|
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 issuer,
including
extending loans to, or making equity investments in, the Reference
Stock
issuer or providing advisory services to the Reference Stock issuer.
In
addition, one or more of our affiliates may publish research reports
or
otherwise express opinions with respect to the Reference Stock issuer
and
these reports may or may not recommend that investors buy or hold
the
Reference Stock. As a prospective purchaser of the notes, you should
undertake an independent investigation of the 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 STOCK —
While
the notes are outstanding, we or any of our affiliates may carry
out
hedging activities related to the notes, including in the Reference
Stock
or instruments related to the Reference Stock. We or our affiliates
may
also trade in the Reference Stock or instruments related to the Reference
Stock 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 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-VI.
