Notes Linked to an Equally Weighted Basket Consisting of the S&P 500® Index, Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM, the Dow Jones-UBS Commodity IndexSM and the iShares® MSCI EAFE Index Fund due October 31, 2017

General

Key Terms

Basket:

The notes are linked to an equally weighted basket consisting of the S&P 500® Index (“SPX”), the Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM (“DJI”), the Dow Jones-UBS Commodity IndexSM (“DJUBS”) (each a “Basket Index”, and collectively, the “Basket Indices”) and the iShares® MSCI EAFE Index Fund (“EFA”) (the “Basket Fund”). The Basket Indices and the Basket Fund are each referred to as a “Basket Component”, and collectively, the “Basket Components.”

Payment at Maturity:

At maturity, you will receive a cash payment, for each $1,000 principal amount note, of $1,000 plus the Additional Amount, which may be zero.

  You are entitled to repayment of principal in full at maturity, subject to the credit risk of JPMorgan Chase & Co.

Additional Amount:

The Additional Amount per $1,000 principal amount note paid at maturity will equal $1,000 × the Basket Return × the Participation Rate; provided that the Additional Amount will not be less than zero.

Participation Rate:

At least 100%

Basket Return:

Ending Basket Level – Starting Basket Level
                Starting Basket Level

Starting Basket Level:

Set equal to 100 on the pricing date, which is expected to be on or about October 26, 2011.

Ending Basket Level:

The arithmetic average of the Basket Closing Levels on the Averaging Dates.

Basket Closing Level:

On each Averaging Date, the Basket Closing Level will be calculated as follows:

100 × [1 + (SPX Return × 25%) + (DJI Return × 25%) + (DJUBS Return × 25%) + (EFA Return × 25%)]

Each of the SPX Return, DJI Return, DJUBS Return and the EFA Return reflects the performance of the relevant Basket Component, expressed as a percentage, from the relevant Basket Component closing level or closing price on the pricing date (divided by, in the case of EFA, the Share Adjustment Factor) to its closing level or closing price on the relevant Averaging Date. For additional information, see “Description of Notes — Payment at Maturity” in the accompanying product supplement no. 32-A-II.

Share Adjustment Factor:

 

With respect to the Basket Fund, 1.0 on the pricing date and subject to adjustment under certain circumstances. See “Description of Notes – Payment at Maturity” and “General Terms of Notes – Anti-Dilution Adjustments” in the accompanying product supplement no. 32-A-II for further information about these adjustments.

Averaging Dates:

October 26, 2012*, October 28, 2013*, October 28, 2014*, October 27, 2015*, October 26, 2016* and October 26, 2017* (the final Averaging Date)

Maturity Date:

October 31, 2017*

CUSIP:

(1) 

The price to the public includes the estimated cost of hedging our obligations under the notes through one or more of our affiliates.

(2) 

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 $60.20 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 $37.55 per $1,000 principal amount note. The concessions of approximately $37.55 per $1,000 principal amount note include concessions to be allowed to selling dealers and concessions to be allowed to any arranging dealer. This commission includes 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 $60.20 and will depend on market conditions on the pricing date. In no event will the commission received by JPMS, which includes concessions and other amounts that may be allowed to other dealers, exceed $80.00 per $1,000 principal amount note. See “Plan of Distribution (Conflicts of Interest)” beginning on page PS-128 of the accompanying product supplement no. 32-A-II.

The notes are not bank deposits and are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other governmental agency, nor are they obligations of, or guaranteed by, a bank.

Sensitivity Analysis — Hypothetical Payment at Maturity for Each $1,000 Principal Amount Note

The table below illustrates the payment at maturity (including the payment of the Additional Amount) on a $1,000 principal amount note for a hypothetical range of performances for the Basket Return from -80% to +80%, and reflects the Starting Basket Level of 100 and the Participation Rate of 100%. The Ending Basket Level is the arithmetic average of the Basket Closing Levels on each of the annual Averaging Dates and is not the Basket Closing Level on the Final Averaging Date. For more information about how the Ending Basket Level is calculated, see “Sensitivity Analysis — Hypothetical Ending Basket Levels” below. The following results are based solely on the hypothetical example cited. You should consider carefully whether the notes are suitable to your investment goals. The numbers appearing in the table below have been rounded for ease of analysis.

Hypothetical Examples of Amounts Payable at Maturity

The following examples illustrate how the total returns set forth in the table above are calculated.

Example 1: The level of the Basket increases from the Starting Basket Level of 100 to an Ending Basket Level of 120. Because the Ending Basket Level of 120 is greater than the Starting Basket Level of 100, the Additional Amount is equal to $200 and the final payment at maturity is equal to $1,200 per $1,000 principal amount note, calculated as follows:

$1,000 + ($1,000 × [(120-100)/100] × 100%) = $1,200

Example 2: The level of the Basket decreases from the Starting Basket Level of 100 to an Ending Basket Level of 60. Because the Ending Basket Level of 60 is lower than the Starting Basket Level of 100, the final payment per $1,000 principal amount note at maturity is the principal amount of $1,000.

The hypothetical returns and 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 returns and hypothetical payouts shown above would likely be lower.

Sensitivity Analysis — Hypothetical Ending Basket Levels

The movement of the Basket over the term of the notes may have a significant effect on your payment at maturity because your return is calculated based on the arithmetic average of the Basket Closing Levels on each of the twenty annual Averaging Dates.

The following examples illustrate the determination of the Ending Basket Level, reflect the Starting Basket Level of 100 and a Participation Rate of 100%. The following results are based solely on the hypothetical example cited. You should consider carefully whether the notes are suitable to your investment goals. The numbers appearing in the table below have been rounded for ease of analysis.

Because the level of the Basket initially decreases before steadily increasing over the term of the notes, the Ending Basket Level is less than the Basket Closing Level on the Final Averaging Date. Under these circumstances, you will not receive the full benefit of the appreciation of the Basket between the Pricing Date and the Final Averaging Date.

Because the level of the Basket increases steadily over most Averaging Dates before declining during the latter portion of the term of the notes, the Ending Basket Level is greater than the Basket Closing Level on the Final Averaging Date. Under these circumstances, the annual averaging convention helps the notes outperform the appreciation of the Basket from the Pricing Date to the Final Averaging Date.

Because the level of the Basket steadily declines for most of the term of the notes before increasing sharply during periods near maturity, the Ending Basket Level is less than the Basket Closing Level on the Final Averaging Date. Under these circumstances, you will not receive the full benefit of the appreciation of the Basket between the Pricing Date and the Final Averaging Date.

Historical Information

The following graphs show the historical weekly performance of each Basket Component from January 6, 2006 through September 30, 2011. The last graph below shows the weekly performance of the Basket as a whole from January 6, 2006 through September 30, 2011 and assumes the Basket level on January 6, 2006 was 100 and that each Basket Component had a 25% weight in the Basket on that date. The closing level of the S&P 500® Index on September 30, 2011 was 1,131.42. The closing level of the Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM on September 30, 2011 was 10,913.38. The closing level of the Dow Jones-UBS Commodity IndexSM on September 30, 2011 was 140.2016. The closing price of the iShares® MSCI EAFE Index Fund on September 30, 2011 was $47.75. We obtained the index closing levels and index fund closing prices and other information below from Bloomberg Financial Markets, and accordingly, make no representation or warranty as to their accuracy or completeness.

The historical levels and prices of each Basket Component and the Basket should not be taken as an indication of future performance, and no assurance can be given as to the closing level or closing price, as applicable, of the Basket Components on any of the Averaging Dates. We cannot give you assurance that the performance of the Basket Components will result in any positive return on your initial investment.

APPENDIX A

The Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM

We have derived all information contained in this term sheet regarding the Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM, including, without limitation, its make-up, method of calculation and changes in its components, from publicly available information prepared by CME Group Index Services LLC (“CME”), a joint venture company owned 90% by CME Group Inc. and 10% by Dow Jones & Company, Inc. (“Dow Jones”). Such information reflects the policies of, and is subject to change by, CME. We make no representation or warranty as to the accuracy or completeness of such information. The Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM is an index calculated, published and disseminated by CME. CME has no obligation to continue to publish, and may discontinue publication of, the Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM.

The Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM is reported by Bloomberg L.P. under the ticker symbol “INDU.”

The Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM was introduced to the investing public by Charles Dow on May 26, 1896 and originally comprised only 12 stocks. It has since become one of the most well known and widely followed indicators of the U.S. stock market and is the oldest continuing stock market index in the world. The Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM consists of 30 common stocks chosen as representative of the broad market of U.S. industry. Many of the companies represented in the Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM are household names and leaders in their respective industries, and their stocks are widely held by both individual and institutional investors. Because the Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM is so well known and its performance is generally perceived to reflect that of the overall domestic equity market, it is often used as a benchmark for investments in equities, mutual funds, and other asset classes.

The Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM is a price-weighted index rather than market capitalization-weighted index. In essence, the Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM consists of one share of each of the 30 stocks included in the Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM. Thus, the weightings of the components of the Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM are affected only by changes in their prices, while the weightings of stocks in other indices are affected by price changes and changes in shares outstanding. This distinction stems from the fact that, when initially created, the Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM was a simple average (hence the name), and was computed merely by adding up the prices of the stocks in the Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM and dividing that sum by the total number of stocks in the Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM. However, it eventually became clear that a method was needed to smooth out the effects of stock splits and other composition changes to prevent these events from distorting the level of the Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM. Therefore, a divisor was created that has been periodically adjusted over time. This divisor, when divided into the sum of the prices of the stocks in the Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM, generates the number that is reported every day in newspapers, on television and radio, and over the internet. With the incorporation of the divisor, the Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM can no longer be considered an average.

The components of the Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM are selected by a committee composed of the managing editor of The Wall Street Journal, which is published by Dow Jones, the head of Dow Jones Indexes research and the head of CME Group research (the “Averages Committee”). The Averages Committee was created in February 2010, when Dow Jones Indexes became part of CME. Periodically, the Averages Committee reviews and makes changes to the composition of the Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM. While component selection is not governed by quantitative rules, a stock typically is added only if it has an excellent reputation, demonstrates sustained growth and is of interest to a large number of investors. The inclusion of any particular company in the Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM does not constitute a prediction as to the company’s future results of operations or stock market performance. For the sake of continuity, composition changes are rare, and generally have occurred only after corporate acquisitions or other dramatic shifts in a component company’s core business. When such an event necessitates that one component be replaced, the entire index is reviewed. As a result, multiple component changes are often implemented simultaneously.

License Agreement between Dow Jones and JPMorgan Chase & Co.

The Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM is a product of Dow Jones Indexes, a licensed trademark of CME, and has been licensed for use. “Dow Jones®”, “Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM”, “DJIASM” and “Dow Jones Indexes” are service marks of Dow Jones and have been licensed for use for certain purposes by JPMorgan Chase & Co.

competitive with the notes. In addition, CME Group Inc. and its affiliates actively trade financial products which are linked to the performance of the DJIA. It is possible that this trading activity will affect the value of the DJIA and the notes.
