9.00%per annum Upside Auto Callable Single Observation Reverse Exchangeable Notes due May 31, 2013 Linked to the Common Stock of Schlumberger N.V. (Schlumberger Limited)
†The actual interest rate will be determined on the pricing date and will not be less than 9.00%† per annum
General
The notes are designed for investors who seek a higher interest rate than either the current dividend yield on the Reference Stock or the yield on a conventional debt security with the same maturity issued by us.  Investors should be willing to forgo the potential to participate in the appreciation of the Reference Stock, to accept the risks of owning equities in general and the common stock of Schlumberger N.V. (Schlumberger Limited), in particular, to assume the risk that the notes will be automatically called and the investors will receive less interest than if the notes are not automatically called and, if the notes are not automatically called, to lose some or all of their principal at maturity.
The notes will pay interest monthly at a rate of 9.00% per annum interest over the term of the notes assuming no automatic call. However, the notes do not guarantee any return of principal at maturity. Instead, if the notes are not automatically called, the payment at maturity will be based on whether the Final Share Price of the Reference Stock is less than the Initial Share Price by more than the Buffer Amount as described below. If the notes are automatically called, you will receive, for each $1,000 principal amount note, $1,000 plus accrued and unpaid interest. Any payment on the notes is subject to the credit risk of JPMorgan Chase & Co.
Senior unsecured obligations of JPMorgan Chase & Co. maturing May 31, 2013*
If the notes are not automatically called, 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.
Key Terms
Reference Stock:
 
The common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Schlumberger N.V. (Schlumberger Limited) (New York Stock Exchange symbol “SLB”).  We refer to Schlumberger N.V. (Schlumberger Limited) as “Schlumberger.”
Interest Rate:
 
at least 9.00% per annum if the notes are not automatically called; or
   
if the notes are automatically called:
     
at least 2.25% if the notes are automatically called on the first Call Date;
     
at least 4.50% if the notes are automatically called on the second Call Date; or
     
at least 6.75% if the notes are automatically called on the final Call Date,
   
in each case equivalent to 9.00% per annum, payable at a rate of 0.75% per month. The actual interest rate will be determined on the Pricing Date and will not be less than 9.00% per annum.
Automatic Call:
 
If on any of the Call Dates, the closing price of the Reference Stock is greater than the Initial Share Price, the notes will be automatically called on that Call Date.

See “Selected Purchase Considerations - Monthly Interest Payments” in this term sheet for more information.
Payment at Maturity:
 
If the notes are not automatically called, the payment at maturity, in excess of any accrued and unpaid interest, will be based on the performance of the Reference Stock.  If the notes are not automatically called, for each $1,000 principal amount note, you will receive $1,000 plus any accrued and unpaid interest at maturity, unless the Final Share Price is less than the Initial Share Price by more than the Buffer Amount.  If the notes are not automatically called and the Final Share Price is less than the Initial Share Price by more than the Buffer Amount, 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.

If the notes priced today, J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, which we refer to as JPMS, acting as agent for JPMorgan Chase & Co., would receive a commission of approximately $37.00 per $1,000 principal amount note and would use a portion of that commission to allow selling concessions to other affiliated or unaffiliated dealers of approximately $30.00 per $1,000 principal amount note. This commission will include the projected profits that our affiliates expect to realize, some of which may be allowed to other unaffiliated dealers, for assuming risks inherent in hedging our obligations under the notes.  The actual commission received by JPMS may be more or less than $37.00 and will depend on market conditions on the Pricing Date. In no event will the commission received by JPMS, which includes concessions to be paid to other dealers, exceed $60.00 per $1,000 principal amount note. See “Plan of Distribution (Conflicts of Interest)” beginning on page PS-42 of the accompanying product supplement no. 7-II.

Recent Developments
 
One credit rating agency has downgraded our long-term senior debt rating, and another has placed us on negative watch for possible downgrade.  These actions followed our disclosure on May 10, 2012, that our Chief Investment Office (which is part of our Corporate segment) has had, since the end of the first quarter of 2012, significant mark-to-market losses in our synthetic credit portfolio, partially offset by securities gains.  We disclosed that the Chief Investment Office's synthetic credit portfolio has proven to be riskier, more volatile and less effective as an economic hedge than we had previously believed.  We are currently repositioning the portfolio in conjunction with our assessment of our overall credit exposure; as this repositioning is being effected in a manner designed to maximize economic value, we may hold certain of our current synthetic credit positions for the longer term and, accordingly, the net income in our Corporate segment will likely be more volatile in future periods than it has been in the past. These and any future losses may lead to heightened regulatory scrutiny and additional regulatory or legal proceedings against us, and may continue to adversely affect our credit ratings and credit spreads and, as a result, the market value of the notes.  See our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2012; "Risk Factors - Risk Management - JPMorgan Chase's framework for managing risks may not be effective in mitigating risk and loss to the Firm" in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011; and "Selected Risk Considerations - Credit Risk of JPMorgan Chase & Co." in this term sheet for further discussion.

Additional Terms Specific to the Notes

Selected Purchase Considerations
 
THE NOTES OFFER A HIGHER INTEREST RATE THAN THE YIELD ON DEBT SECURITIES OF COMPARABLE MATURITY ISSUED BY US — The notes will pay interest at the Interest Rate specified on the cover of this term sheet, which is higher than the yield currently available on debt securities of comparable maturity issued by us.  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 as specified on the cover of this term sheet. Interest will be payable monthly in arrears on the last calendar day of each month, up to and including the final monthly interest payment, which will be payable on the Maturity Date or the applicable Call Settlement Date, as applicable (each such day, an “Interest Payment Date”). Interest will be payable to the holders of record at the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date or applicable Call Settlement 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. For example, the Interest Payment Date for June, 2012 is June 30, 2012 but because that day is not a business day, payment of interest with respect to that Interest Payment Date will be made on July 2, 2012 the next succeeding business day.
POTENTIAL EARLY EXIT AS A RESULT OF THE AUTOMATIC CALL FEATURE If the closing price of the Reference Stock is greater than the Initial Share Price on any of the Call Dates, your notes will be automatically called prior to the maturity date.  Under these circumstances, on the applicable Call Settlement Date, for each $1,000 principal amount note, you will receive $1,000 plus accrued and unpaid interest to but excluding the applicable Call Settlement Date.
THE NOTES DO NOT GUARANTEE THE RETURN OF YOUR PRINCIPAL IF THE NOTES ARE NOT AUTOMATICALLY CALLED If the notes are not automatically called, we will pay you your principal back at maturity so long as the Final Share Price is not less than the Initial Share Price by more than the Buffer Amount on the Observation Date. However, if the notes are not automatically called and if the Final Share Price is less than the Initial Share Price by more than the Buffer 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 “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” in the accompanying product supplement no. 7-II. Based on current market conditions, in determining our reporting responsibilities we intend to treat the notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes as units each comprising: (x) a Put Option written by you that requires you to purchase the Reference Stock (or, at our option, receive the Cash Value thereof) from us at maturity under circumstances where the payment due at maturity is the Physical Delivery Amount and (y) a Deposit of $1,000 per $1,000 principal amount note to secure your potential obligation under the Put Option. By purchasing the notes, you agree (in the absence of an administrative determination or

judicial ruling to the contrary) to follow this treatment and the allocation described in the following paragraph. 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 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.
We will determine the portion of each interest payment on the notes 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 23, 2012, we would have allocated 12.11% of each interest payment to interest on the Deposit and the remainder to Put Premium. 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 that the treatment of the notes as units each comprising a Put Option and a Deposit 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.
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 the 2007 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 treatments, as well as the allocation of the purchase price of the notes between the Deposit and the Put Option.
Non-U.S. Holders - Additional Tax Consideration
Non-U.S. Holders should note that recently proposed Treasury regulations, if finalized in their current form, could impose a withholding tax at a rate of 30% (subject to reduction under an applicable income tax treaty) on amounts attributable to U.S.-source dividends (including, potentially, adjustments to account for extraordinary dividends) that are paid or “deemed paid” after December 31, 2012 under certain financial instruments, if certain other conditions are met. While significant aspects of the application of these proposed regulations to the notes are uncertain, if these proposed regulations were finalized in their current form, we (or other withholding agents) might determine that withholding is required with respect to notes held by a Non-U.S. Holder or that the Non-U.S. Holder must provide information to establish that withholding is not required. Non-U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisers regarding the potential application of these proposed regulations. If withholding is so required, we will not be required to pay any additional amounts with respect to amounts so withheld.

Selected Risk Considerations
 
An investment in the notes involves significant risks.  Investing in the notes is not equivalent to investing directly in the Reference Stock.  These risks are explained in more detail in the “Risk Factors” section of the accompanying product supplement no. 7-II dated November 16, 2011.
YOUR INVESTMENT IN THE NOTES MAY RESULT IN A LOSS — The notes do not guarantee any return of principal. If the notes are not automatically called, the payment at maturity will be based on whether the Final Share Price is less than the Initial Share Price by more than the Buffer Amount. 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.
THE AUTOMATIC CALL FEATURE MAY FORCE A POTENTIAL EARLY EXIT The notes will be automatically called before maturity if the closing price of the Reference Stock is greater than the Initial Share Price on any of the Call Dates.  Under these circumstances, the amount of interest payable on the notes will be less than the full amount of interest that would have been payable if the notes were held to maturity, and, for each $1,000 principal amount note, you will receive $1,000 plus accrued and unpaid interest to but excluding the applicable Call Settlement Date.
THE BENEFIT PROVIDED BY THE BUFFER AMOUNT MAY TERMINATE ON THE OBSERVATION DATE — If the notes are not automatically called and the closing price of the Reference Stock on the Observation Date (i.e., the Final Share Price) is less than the Initial Share Price minus the Buffer Amount, you will be fully exposed to any depreciation in the Reference Stock.  Because the Final Share 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 Reference Stock at the maturity date or at other times during the term of the notes could be at a level above the Initial Share Price minus the Buffer Amount.  This difference could be particularly large if there is a significant decrease in the price of the Reference Stock during the later portion of the term of the notes or if there is significant volatility in the price of the Reference Stock during the term of the notes, especially on dates near the Observation Date.
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 or on any Call Settlement Date and on the Interest Payment Dates, 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. If we were to default on our payment obligations, you may not receive any amounts owed to you under the notes and you could lose your entire investment.
In particular, one credit rating agency has downgraded our long-term senior debt rating, and another has placed us on negative watch for possible downgrade.  These actions followed our disclosure on May 10, 2012, that our Chief Investment Office (which is part of our Corporate segment) has had, since the end of the first quarter of 2012, significant mark-to-market losses in our synthetic credit portfolio, partially offset by securities gains.  These and any future losses may lead to heightened regulatory scrutiny and additional regulatory or legal proceedings against us, and may continue to adversely affect our credit ratings and credit spreads and, as a result, the market value of the notes.  See "Recent Developments" in this term sheet; our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2012; and "Risk Factors - Risk Management - JPMorgan Chase's framework for managing risks may not be effective in mitigating risk and loss to the Firm" in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 for further discussion.
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, our economic interests and the economic interests of the calculation agent and other affiliates of ours are potentially adverse to your interests as an investor in the notes. In addition, our business activities, including hedging and trading activities, could cause our economic interests to be adverse to yours and could adversely affect any payment on the notes and the value of the notes. It is possible that hedging or trading activities of ours or our affiliates could result in substantial returns for us or our affiliates while the value of the notes declines. Please refer to “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to the Notes Generally” in the accompanying product supplement no. 7-II for additional information about these risks. 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.
REINVESTMENT RISK — If your notes are automatically called early, the term of the notes may be reduced to as short as three months and you will not receive interest payments after the applicable Call Settlement Date.  There is no guarantee that you would be able to reinvest the proceeds from an investment in the notes at a comparable return and/or with a comparable interest rate for a similar level of risk in the event the notes are automatically called prior to the Maturity Date.
SINGLE STOCK RISK The price of the Reference Stock can fall sharply due to factors specific to the Reference 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.
CERTAIN BUILT-IN COSTS ARE LIKELY TO AFFECT ADVERSELY THE VALUE OF THE NOTES PRIOR TO MATURITY — While the payment at maturity, if any, or upon an automatic call 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 estimated cost of hedging our obligations under the notes.  As a result, and as a general matter, the price, if any, at which JPMS 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 Influence 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.
BUFFER AMOUNT APPLIES ONLY IF YOU HOLD THE NOTES TO MATURITY Assuming the notes are not automatically called, we will pay you your principal back at maturity only if the Final Share Price is not below the Initial Share Price by more than the Buffer Amount. If the notes are not automatically called and the Final Share Price is less than the Initial Share Price by more than the Buffer Amount the benefit provided by the Buffer Amount will be eliminated and you will be fully exposed at maturity to any decline in the market price of the Reference Stock.
VOLATILITY RISK Greater expected volatility with respect to the Reference Stock indicates a greater likelihood as of the Pricing Date that the Reference Stock could close below the Initial Share Price by more than the Buffer Amount  on the
 
JPMorgan Structured Investments — 
Upside Auto Callable Single Observation Reverse Exchangeable Notes Linked to the Common Stock of Schlumberger N.V. (Schlumberger Limited)
TS-3
 
 

 
 
 
Observation Date. The Reference Stock’s volatility, however, can change significantly over the term of the notes.  The closing price of the Reference Stock could fall sharply on the Observation Date, which could result in a significant loss of principal.
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 — If the notes are not automatically called, unless the Final Share Price is less than the Initial Share Price by more than the Buffer 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. If the notes are automatically called, for each $1,000 principal amount note, you will receive $1,000 on the applicable Call Settlement Date plus any accrued and unpaid interest, regardless of the 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 REFERENCE STOCK ISSUER We are not affiliated with the Reference Stock issuer.  We assume no responsibility for the adequacy of the information about the Reference Stock issuer contained in this term sheet or in product supplement no. 7-II.  You should undertake your own investigation into the Reference Stock and the Reference Stock issuer.  We are not responsible for the Reference 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.  JPMS 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 JPMS is willing to buy 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 the likelihood of an automatic call or our payment to you at maturity. It is possible that such hedging or trading activities could result in substantial returns for us or our affiliates while the value of the notes declines.
THE ANTI-DILUTION PROTECTION FOR THE REFERENCE STOCK IS LIMITED AND MAY BE DISCRETIONARY The calculation agent will make adjustments to the Stock Adjustment Factor for certain corporate events affecting the Reference Stock. However, the calculation agent will not make an adjustment in response to all events that could affect the Reference Stock. If an event occurs that does not require the calculation agent to make an adjustment, the value of the notes may be materially and adversely affected. You should also be aware that the calculation agent may make adjustments in response to events that are not described in the accompanying product supplement to account for any diluting or concentrative effect, but the calculation agent is under no obligation to do so or to consider your interests as a holder of the notes in making these determinations
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. 7-II.

Examples of Hypothetical Payments at Maturity for Each $1,000 Principal Amount Note
 
The following table illustrates hypothetical payments at maturity or upon an automatic call on a $1,000 investment in the notes, based on a range of hypothetical Final Share Prices and closing prices on any of the Call Dates. 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: $66.40
the Buffer Amount (in U.S. dollars): $19.92

the Interest Rate:  9.00% per annum if the notes are held to maturity
 
                          2.25% (equivalent to 9.00% per annum) if the note is automatically called on the first Call Date
 
                          4.50% (equivalent to 9.00% per annum) if the note is automatically called on the second Call Date
 
                          6.75% (equivalent to 9.00% per annum) if the note is automatically called on the final Call Date

**     Note that you will receive at maturity or on the applicable Call Settlement Date, as applicable, accrued and unpaid interest in cash, in addition to (1) at maturity, either shares of the Reference Stock (or, at our election, the Cash Value thereof) or the principal amount of your note in cash or (2) on the applicable Call Settlement Date, $1,000 in cash.  Also note that if you receive the Physical Delivery Amount at maturity, the total value of the 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 or on the applicable Call Settlement Date, as applicable, set forth in the table above are calculated.
 
Example 1: The closing price of the Reference Stock on the first Call Date is $83.00.  Because the closing price of the Reference Stock of $83.00 on the first Call Date is greater than the Initial Share Price of $66.40, the notes are automatically called and you will receive a payment on the first Call Settlement Date of $1,000 per $1,000 principal amount note.
 
Example 2: The highest closing price of the Reference Stock on any of the Call Dates was $66.40 and the Final Share Price is $63.08.  Because the highest closing price of the Reference Stock of $66.40 on any of the Call Dates is not greater than the Initial Share Price of $66.40, the notes are not automatically called.  Because the Final Share Price of $63.08 is less than the Initial Share Price of $66.40, by not more than the Buffer Amount, you will receive at maturity a payment of $1,000 per $1,000 principal amount note.
 
Example 3: The highest closing price of the Reference Stock on any of the Call Dates was $56.44, and the Final Share Price is $43.16 a decline of more than the Buffer Amount from the Initial Share Price.  Because the highest closing price of the Reference Stock of $56.44 on any of the Call Dates is not greater than the Initial Share Price of $66.40, the notes are not automatically called.  Because the Final Share Price of $43.16 is less than the Initial Share Price of $66.40 by more than the Buffer 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 $43.16, the total value of your final payment at maturity, whether in cash or shares of the Reference Stock, is $650.00.
 
Regardless of the performance of the Reference Stock, you will receive interest payments, for each $1,000 principal amount note, in the aggregate amount of (1), if the notes are held to maturity, $90.00 over the term of the notes or (2) if the notes are automatically called: (i) $22.50 if called on the first Call Date from the issue date to but excluding the first Call Settlement Date, (ii)$45.00 if called on the second Call Date from the issue date to but excluding the second Call Settlement Date; (iii)$67.50 if called on the final Call Date from the issue date to but excluding the final Call Settlement Date.  If the notes are held to maturity, the actual number of shares of the Reference Stock, or the Cash Value thereof, you may receive at maturity and the actual Buffer Amount applicable to your notes may be more or less than the amounts displayed in this hypothetical and will depend in part on the Initial Share Price.
 
The hypothetical payouts on the notes shown above do not reflect fees or expenses that would be associated with any sale in the secondary market. If these fees and expenses were included, the hypothetical payouts shown above would likely be lower.
