10.50% per annum Reverse Exchangeable Notes due June 30, 2011
Linked to the Market Vectors Gold Miners ETF |
General
- The notes are
designed for investors who seek a higher interest rate than 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 any appreciation in the Fund, be willing to accept
the risks of exposure to exchange-traded funds in general and the Market Vectors Gold Miners ETF, in particular, and be willing to lose some or all of their
principal at maturity.
- The notes will
pay 10.50% per annum interest over the term of the notes. 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 one share of
the Fund and whether the closing price of one share of the Fund is less than the
Initial Share Price by more than the Protection Amount on any trading day
during the Monitoring Period, as described below. Any payment on the notes is
subject to the credit risk of JPMorgan Chase & Co.
- Senior unsecured
obligations of JPMorgan Chase & Co. maturing June 30, 2011*
- Payment at
maturity for each $1,000 principal amount note will be a cash payment equal to
either $1,000 or the Cash Value (as defined below), in each case, together with
any accrued and unpaid interest, as described below.
- Minimum
denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof

If the notes
priced today, J.P. Morgan Securities Inc., which we refer to as JPMSI, 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 $32.50 per $1,000 principal amount
note. The concessions of approximately $32.50 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 JPMSI may be
more or less than $45.00 and will depend on market conditions on the pricing
date. In no event will the commission received by JPMSI, which includes
concessions to be and other amounts that may be allowed to other dealers,
exceed $60.00 per $1,000 principal amount note. See Plan of Distribution
(Conflicts of Interest) beginning on page PS-56 of the accompanying product
supplement no. 151-A-I.

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

Selected Purchase Considerations
- 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 10.50% per annum
interest over the term of the notes, which we believe 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 a
rate of 10.50% per annum over the term of the notes. Interest will be payable
monthly in arrears on the last calendar day of each month (each such date, an
Interest Payment Date), commencing July 31, 2010, 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. For example, the
monthly interest payment due in July 2010 will be payable on August 2, 2010.
- THE NOTES DO NOT GUARANTEE THE RETURN OF YOUR
PRINCIPAL We will pay you your principal back at maturity so
long as the Final Share Price is not less than the Initial Share Price or the
closing price of one share of the Fund is not less than the Initial Share Price
by more than the Protection Amount on any trading day during the Monitoring
Period. However, if the Final Share Price is less than the Initial Share
Price and the closing price of one share of the Fund on any trading day during
the Monitoring Period is less than the Initial Share Price by more than the Protection
Amount, you could lose the entire principal amount of your notes.

- RETURN LINKED TO THE MARKET VECTORS GOLD MINERS ETF The Market Vectors Gold Miners ETF is an
exchange-traded fund managed by Van Eck Associates Corporation (Van Eck), the
investment adviser to the Market Vectors Gold Miners ETF. The Market Vectors
Gold Miners ETF trades on NYSE Arca, Inc. (the NYSE Arca) under the ticker
symbol GDX. The Market Vectors Gold Miners ETF seeks to replicate as closely
as possible, before fees and expenses, the price and yield performance of the
NYSE Arca Gold Miners Index. The NYSE Arca Gold Miners Index is a modified
market capitalization weighted index primarily composed of publicly traded
companies involved in the mining of gold. The NYSE Arca Gold Miners Index
includes common stocks and ADRs of selected companies that are involved in
mining for gold and silver and that are listed for trading on the New York Stock
Exchange or the NYSE Amex LLC or quoted on The NASDAQ Stock Market. Only
companies with market capitalization greater than $100 million that have a
daily average trading volume of at least 50,000 shares over the past six months
are eligible for inclusion in the NYSE Arca Gold Miners Index. For additional
information about the Fund and the Underlying Index, see the information set
forth under The Market Vectors Gold Miners ETF in the accompanying product
supplement no. 151-A-I.
- 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. 151-A-I. 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
June 4, 2010, we would have treated approximately
12.48% of each coupon payment as interest on the Deposit and the remainder as
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 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, 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. 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. Non-U.S.
Holders should also note that they may be withheld upon at a rate of up to 30%
unless they have submitted a properly completed IRS Form W-8BEN or otherwise
satisfied the applicable documentation requirements. 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.
Selected Risk Considerations
An
investment in the notes involves significant risks. Investing in the notes is
not equivalent to investing directly in the Fund, the Underlying Index or any
of the equity securities held by the Fund or included in the Underlying Index.
These risks are explained in more detail in the Risk Factors section of the
accompanying product supplement no. 151-A-I dated June 4, 2010.
- 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 one share of
the Fund is less than the Initial Share Price by more than the Protection
Amount on any trading day during the Monitoring Period. Under certain
circumstances, you will receive at maturity the Cash Value instead of the
principal amount of your notes. The Cash Value will 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 at maturity.
- 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
Interest Payment Date, and therefore investors are subject to our credit risk
and to changes in the markets 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 affect adversely the value of the notes.

|
TS-2 |
- 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 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 Fund, the
Underlying Index and the notes.
- YOUR MAXIMUM RETURN ON THE NOTES IS LIMITED TO THE
PRINCIPAL AMOUNT PLUS ACCRUED INTEREST REGARDLESS OF ANY APPRECIATION IN THE
VALUE OF THE FUND Unless (i) the Final Share Price is less than the
Initial Share Price and (ii) on any trading day during the Monitoring Period,
the closing price of one share of the Fund is less than 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 shares of the Fund, which may be
significant. Accordingly, the return on the notes may be significantly less
than the return on a direct investment in the shares of the Fund during the
term of the notes.
- YOUR PROTECTION MAY TERMINATE ON ANY TRADING DAY
DURING THE TERM OF THE NOTES If, on any trading day
during the Monitoring Period, the closing price of one share of the Fund is
less than the Initial Share Price minus the Protection Amount, you will be
fully exposed to any depreciation in the Fund. 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 the
Cash Value and, consequently, you will lose 1% of the principal amount of your
investment for every 1% that the Final Share Price is less than the Initial
Share Price. You will be subject to this potential loss of principal even if
the price of the Fund subsequently recovers such that the Fund 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.
- NO AFFILIATION WITH THE FUND We are not affiliated with the Fund. We assume no
responsibility for the adequacy of the information about the Fund and the Underlying
Index contained in this term sheet or in product supplement no. 151-A-I. You
should undertake your own investigation into the Fund and the Underlying Index.
We are not responsible for the Funds public disclosure of information,
whether contained in SEC filings or otherwise.
- CERTAIN BUILT-IN
COSTS ARE LIKELY TO AFFECT ADVERSELY THE VALUE OF THE NOTES PRIOR TO MATURITY While the payment at maturity, if any,
described in this term sheet is based on the full principal amount of your
notes, the original issue price of the notes includes the agents 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 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 agents
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.
- PROTECTION AMOUNT APPLIES ONLY IF YOU HOLD THE NOTES
TO MATURITY We will pay you
your principal back at maturity only if the closing price of the Fund is not
less than the Initial Share Price by more than the Protection Amount during the
Monitoring Period, the Final Share Price is not less than the Initial Share
Price, and the notes are held to maturity. If the closing price of the Fund is
less than the Initial Share Price by more than the Protection Amount during the
Monitoring Period and the Final Share Price is less than the Initial Share
Price, the protection provided by the Protection Amount will be eliminated and
you will be fully exposed at maturity to any decline in the value of the shares
of the Fund.
- VOLATILITY RISK Greater expected volatility with respect to the Fund indicates a
greater likelihood as of the pricing date that the shares of the Fund could
close below the Initial Share Price by more than the Protection Amount during
the Monitoring Period or that the shares of the Fund could close below the
Initial Share Price on the Observation Date. The Funds volatility, however,
can change significantly over the term of the notes. The closing price of the Fund
could fall sharply on any trading day during the Monitoring Period, which could
result in a significant loss of principal.
- NO DIVIDEND PAYMENTS OR VOTING RIGHTS As a holder of the notes, you will not
have voting rights or rights to receive cash dividends or other distributions
or other rights that holders of shares of the Fund or the equity securities
held by the Fund or included in the Underlying Index would have.

TS-3 |
- THERE ARE RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THE FUND Although the Funds shares are listed
for trading on the NYSE Arca and a number of similar products have been traded
on NYSE Arca and other securities exchanges for varying periods of time, there
is no assurance that an active trading market will continue for the shares of
the Fund or that there will be liquidity in the trading market. The Fund is
subject to management risk, which is the risk that Van Ecks investment
strategy, the implementation of which is subject to a number of constraints,
may not produce the intended results. These constraints could adversely affect
the market price of the shares of the Fund, and consequently, the value of the
notes.
- DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE FUND
AND THE UNDERLYING INDEX The Fund
does not fully replicate the Underlying Index and may hold securities not
included in the Underlying Index, and its performance will reflect additional
transaction costs and fees that are not included in the calculation of the Underlying
Index, all of which may lead to a lack of correlation between the Fund and the Underlying
Index. In addition, corporate actions (such as mergers and spin-offs) with
respect to the sample of equity securities may impact the variance between the Fund
and the Underlying Index. Finally, because the shares of the Fund are traded
on the NYSE Arca and are subject to market supply and investor demand, the
market value of one share of the Fund may differ from the net asset value per
share of the Fund. For all of the foregoing reasons, the performance of the Fund
may not correlate with the performance of the Underlying Index.
- RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THE GOLD AND SILVER MINING
INDUSTRIES All or substantially
all of the equity securities held by the Fund are issued by gold or silver mining
companies. Because the value of the notes is linked to the performance of the Fund,
an investment in these notes will be concentrated in the gold and silver mining
industries. Competitive pressures may have a significant effect on the
financial condition of companies in these industries. Also, these companies
are highly dependent on the price of gold or silver, as applicable. These
prices fluctuate widely and may be affected by numerous factors. Factors
affecting gold prices include economic factors, including, among other things,
the structure of and confidence in the global monetary system, expectations of
the future rate of inflation, the relative strength of, and confidence in, the
U.S. dollar (the currency in which the price of gold is generally quoted),
interest rates and gold borrowing and lending rates, and global or regional
economic, financial, political, regulatory, judicial or other events. Factors
affecting silver prices include general economic trends, technical
developments, substitution issues and regulation, as well as specific factors
including industrial and jewelry demand, expectations with respect to the rate
of inflation, the relative strength of the U.S. dollar (the currency in which
the price of silver is generally quoted) and other currencies, interest rates,
central bank sales, forward sales by producers, global or regional political or
economic events, and production costs and disruptions in major silver producing
countries such as the United Mexican States and the Republic of Peru.
- 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.
- THE ANTI-DILUTION PROTECTION FOR THE FUND IS LIMITED The calculation agent will make adjustments to the
Share Adjustment Factor for certain events affecting the shares of the Fund.
However, the calculation agent will not make an adjustment in response to all
events that could affect the shares of the Fund. 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.
- HEDGING AND TRADING IN THE FUND While
the notes are outstanding, we or any of our affiliates may carry out hedging
activities related to the notes, including in the shares of the Fund, the
equity securities held by the Fund or included in the Underlying Index or
instruments related to the shares of the Fund. We or our affiliates may also trade
in the shares of the Fund or instruments related to the shares of the Fund 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.
- THE FUND HAS A LIMITED OPERATING HISTORY AND MAY
PERFORM IN UNANTICIPATED WAYS The
Fund was established on May 16, 2006 and therefore has a limited operating history. Past
performance should not be considered indicative of future performance.
- MANY ECONOMIC AND MARKET FACTORS WILL INFLUENCE THE
VALUE OF THE NOTES In addition to
the value of the shares of the Fund 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. 151-A-I.

following graph sets forth the historical performance of the shares of the Fund
based on the weekly closing price of one share of the Fund from May 26, 2006
through May 28, 2010. The closing price of one share of the Fund on June 3, 2010 was $49.83.
We obtained the closing prices of the Fund below from Bloomberg Financial
Markets without independent verification. The closing prices may be adjusted

mergers and acquisitions, spin-offs, delisting and bankruptcy. We make no
representation or warranty as to the accuracy or completeness of the
information obtained from Bloomberg Financial Markets.
Since its inception, the Fund has experienced significant
fluctuations. The historical performance of the shares of the Fund should not
be taken as an indication of future performance, and no assurance can be given
as to the closing prices of one share of the Fund during the term of the notes.
We cannot give you assurance that the performance of the Fund will result in
the return of any of your initial investment. We make no representation as to
the amount of dividends, if any, that the Fund or the equity securities held by
the Fund will pay in the future. In any event, as an investor in the notes, you
will not be entitled to receive dividends, if any, that may be payable on the Fund
or the equity securities held by the Fund.

Note that you will receive at maturity any accrued
and unpaid interest in cash, in addition to either the Cash Value or the
principal amount of your note in cash.

The following examples illustrate how the payments at
maturity set forth in the table above are calculated.
Example 1: The lowest closing price of one share of the
Fund during the Monitoring Period is $25.00 but the Final Share Price is $52.50. Because the Final Share Price of $52.50
is greater than the Initial Share Price of $50.00, you will receive a payment
at maturity of $1,000 per $1,000 principal amount note.
Example 2: The lowest closing price of one share of the
Fund during the Monitoring Period is $25.00 and the Final Share Price is $47.50. Because the Final Share Price of $47.50
is less than the Initial Share Price of $50.00 and the closing price of one
share of the Fund is less than the Initial Share Price by more than the
Protection Amount on at least one trading day during the Monitoring Period, you
will receive the Cash Value at maturity. Because the Final Share Price of the Fund
is $47.50, your final payment at maturity is $950.00.
Example 3: The closing price of one share of the Fund is not
less than the Initial Share Price by more than the Protection Amount on any
trading day during the Monitoring Period prior to the Observation Date.
However, the closing price of one share of the Fund on the Observation Date is
$25.00, a decline of more than the Protection Amount. Because the Final Share Price of $25.00 is
less than the Initial Share Price of $50.00 and the Final Share Price is less
than the Initial Share Price by more than the Protection Amount, you will
receive the Cash Value at maturity. Because the Final Share Price of the Fund
is $25.00, your final payment at maturity is $500.00.
Example 4: The Final Share Price of $40.00 is less than the Initial
Share Price of $50.00 but is not less than the Initial Share Price by more than
the Protection Amount and the closing price of one share of the Fund is not
less than the Initial Share Price by more than the Protection Amount on any
trading day during the Monitoring Period. Because the closing price of one share of the Fund is not less than the
Initial Share Price by more than the Protection Amount on any trading day
during the Monitoring Period, you will receive a payment at maturity of $1,000
per $1,000 principal amount note, even though the Final Share Price of $40.00
is less than the Initial Share Price of $50.00.
Regardless
of the performance of the shares of the Fund 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 $105.00 over the term of the
notes. The Cash Value 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 one share of
the Fund on the pricing date.
