Notes

1 Represents the performance of the Index based on, as applicable to the
relevant measurement period, the hypothetical backtested weekly Index closing
levels from January 2, 1995 through June 29, 2007, and the actual historical
performance of the Index based on the weekly Index closing level from July 6,
2007 through February 26, 2010, as well as the performance of the MSCI World
Index ("MSCI World"), the Dow Jones -- UBS Commodity Index(SM) ("DJ-UBS") and
the JPMorgan GBI (USD Hedged) Global Bond Index ("JPM GBI") 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 of any future
performance for these three indices based on this information. Source:
Bloomberg and JPMorgan.

2 Calculated from the historical returns, as applicable to the relevant
measurement period, of the indices over a six-month observation period. For any
given day, represents the annualized standard deviation of each index's
arithmetic daily returns for the 126-index day period preceding that day. The
back-tested, hypothetical, historical six-month annualized volatility has
inherent limitations. These volatility results were achieved by means of a
retroactive application of a back-tested volatility model designed with the
benefit of hindsight. No representation is made that in the future the Index,
the MSCI World, DJ-UBS and JPM GBI will have the volatilities as shown above or
that the Index will outperform any alternative investment strategy. Alternative
modeling techniques or assumptions might produce significantly different
results and may prove to be more appropriate. Actual six-month annualized
volatilities may vary materially from this analysis.

3 On a quarterly basis (each January, April, July, and October), J.P. Morgan
Securities Ltd., or JPMSL, acting as the Index calculation agent, will
rebalance the Index to take synthetic long positions in the Basket Constituents
based on mathematical rules that govern the Index and track the returns of the
synthetic portfolio above cash. The weights for each Basket Constituent will be
adjusted to comply with certain allocation constraints, including constraints
on individual Basket Constituents, as well as the individual sectors.

4 Calculated based on the annualized standard deviation for the ten year period
prior to February 26, 2010.

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.

6 Correlation refers to the degree the applicable index has changed relative to
daily changes in the JPMorgan Efficiente (USD) Index.


Key Risks

[]   There are risks associated with a momentum-based investment
     strategy--Efficiente is different from a strategy that seeks long-term
     exposure to a portfolio consisting of constant components with fixed
     weights. The Index may fail to realize gains that could occur from holding
     assets that have experienced price declines, but experience a sudden price
     spike thereafter.

[]   Correlation of performances among the Basket Constituents may reduce the
     performance of the Index amongst the Basket Constituents--High correlation
     during periods of negative returns among Basket Constituents representing
     any one sector or asset type which have a substantial weighting in the
     Index could have a material adverse effect on the performance of the
     Strategy.

[]   Our affiliate, JPMSL, is the Calculation Agent and may adjust the Index in
     a way that affects its level--The policies and judgments for which JPMSL
     is responsible could have an impact, positive or negative, on the level of
     the Index and the value of your investment. JPMSL is under no obligation
     to consider your interest as an investor in securities linked to the
     Index.

[]   The Index may not be successful, may not outperform any alternative
     strategy related to the Basket Constituents, or may not achieve its target
     volatility of 8%.

[]   The investment strategy involves quarterly rebalancing and maximum
     weighting caps applied to the Basket Constituents by asset type and
     geographical region.

[]   Changes in the value of the Basket Constituents may offset each other.

[]   An investment linked to the Index is subject to risks associated with
     non-U.S. securities markets, such as emerging markets and currency
     exchange risk.

[]   The Index was established on July 2, 2007 and has a limited operating
     history
