$
11.50% per annum Reverse Exchangeable Notes due May 31, 2012 Linked to the Common Stock of Netflix, Inc.

General

Key Terms

Reference Stock:

The common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Netflix, Inc. (The NASDAQ Stock Market symbol “NFLX”). We refer to Netflix, Inc. as “Netflix.”

Interest Rate:

11.50% per annum, paid monthly and calculated on a 30/360 basis.

Protection Amount:

An amount that represents at least 30.00% of the Initial Share Price, subject to adjustments.

Pricing Date:

On or about May 25, 2011

Settlement Date:

On or about May 31, 2011

Observation Date:

May 25, 2012*

Maturity Date:

May 31, 2012*

CUSIP:

48125XSH0

Interest Payment Dates:

Interest on the notes 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 (each such date, an “Interest Payment Date”), commencing June 30, 2011. See “Selected Purchase Considerations — Monthly Interest Payments” in this term sheet for more information.

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 is less than 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.

Monitoring Period:

The period from the Pricing Date to and including the Observation Date.

Physical Delivery Amount:

The number of shares of the Reference Stock, per $1,000 principal amount note, equal to $1,000 divided by the Initial Share Price, subject to adjustments.

Cash Value:

The amount in cash equal to the product of (1) $1,000 divided by the Initial Share Price and (2) the Final Share Price, subject to adjustments.

Initial Share Price:

The closing price of the 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-II for further information about these adjustments.

Final Share Price:

The closing price of the Reference Stock on the Observation Date.

     *Subject to postponement in the event of a market disruption event and as described under “Description of Notes – Payment at Maturity” in the accompanying product supplement no. 34-A-II.

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 $45.00 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 $35.00 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 concessions of approximately $35.00 include concessions and other amounts to be allowed to selling dealers and concessions and other amounts to be allowed to any arranging dealer. The actual commission received by JPMS may be more or less than $35.00 and will depend on market conditions on the Pricing Date.

Examples of Hypothetical Payment at Maturity for Each $1,000 Principal Amount Note

The following table illustrates hypothetical payments at maturity on a $1,000 investment in the notes, based on a range of hypothetical Final Share Prices 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:

$236.00

• the Protection Amount (in U.S. dollars): $70.80

• the Interest Rate:

11.50% per annum

• the Protection Amount: 30.00%

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 $118.00 but the Final Share Price is $247.80. Because the Final Share Price of $247.80 is greater than the Initial Share Price of $236.00, 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 $118.00 and the Final Share Price is $224.20. Because the Final Share Price of $224.20 is less than the Initial Share Price of $236.00 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 $224.20, 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 $118.00, a decline of more than the Protection Amount. Because the Final Share Price of $118.00 is less than the Initial Share Price of $236.00 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 $118.00, 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 $165.20 is less than the Initial Share Price of $236.00 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 $165.20 is less than the Initial Share Price of $236.00.

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 $115.00 over the term of the notes. If we had priced the notes on May 17, 2011, you would have received 4 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.
