Dual Directional Buffered Return Enhanced Notes Linked to a Basket Consisting of the Hang Seng China Enterprises Index, the Hang Seng® Index, the Korea Stock Price Index 200, the MSCI Singapore Index and the MSCI Taiwan Index due September 17, 2009

General

Key Terms

Basket:

The notes are linked to a basket consisting of the Hang Seng China Enterprises Index (“HSCEI”), the Hang Seng® Index (“HSI”), the Korea Stock Price Index 200 (“KOSPI2”), the MSCI Singapore Index (“SGY”) and the MSCI Taiwan Index (“TWY”) (each a “Basket Index,” and together, the “Basket Indices”). For additional information about the Hang Seng China Enterprises Index and the Hang Seng® Index, see Appendix A and Appendix B, respectively, to this term sheet.

Component Weightings:

The Hang Seng China Enterprises Weighting is 28.00%, the Hang Seng Weighting is 16.50%, the KOSPI 200 Weighting is 26.50%, the MSCI Singapore Weighting is 8.00% and the MSCI Taiwan Weighting is 21.00% (each a “Component Weighting,” and collectively, the “Component Weightings”).

Upside Leverage Factor:

2

Payment at Maturity:

If the Ending Basket Level is greater than the Starting Basket Level, you will receive at maturity a cash payment that provides you with a return per $1,000 principal amount note equal to the Basket Return multiplied by two, subject to a Maximum Total Return on the notes of 13.00%*. For example, if the Basket Return is more than 6.50%, you will receive the Maximum Total Return on the notes of 13.00%*, which entitles you to the maximum payment of $1,130 at maturity for every $1,000 principal amount note that you hold. Accordingly, if the Basket Return is positive, your payment at maturity per $1,000 principal amount note will be calculated as follows, subject to the Maximum Total Return:

$1,000 + [$1,000 x (Basket Return x 2)]
*The actual Maximum Total Return on the notes and the actual maximum payment at maturity will be set on the pricing date and will not be less than 13.00% and $1,130 per $1,000 principal amount note, respectively.
If the Ending Basket Level is equal to the Starting Basket Level, you will receive at maturity a cash payment of $1,000 per $1,000 principal amount note.
If the Ending Basket Level declines from the Starting Basket Level by up to 10%, you will receive at maturity a cash payment that provides you with a return per $1,000 principal amount note equal to the Absolute Basket Return and your payment at maturity per $1,000 principal amount note will be calculated as follows:
$1,000 + ($1,000 x Absolute Basket Return)
If the Ending Basket Level declines from the Starting Basket Level by more than 10%, you will lose 1.1111% of the principal amount of your notes for every 1% that the Basket declines beyond 10% and your payment at maturity per $1,000 principal amount note will be calculated as follows:
$1,000 + [$1,000 x (Basket Return + 10%) x 1.1111]
You will lose some or all of your investment if the Ending Basket Level declines from the Starting Basket Level by more than 10%.

Buffer Amount:

10%

Downside Leverage Factor:

1.1111

Basket Return:

 

The performance of the Basket from the Starting Basket Level to the Ending Basket Level, calculated as follows:

Ending Basket Level – Starting Basket Level
                Starting Basket Level

Absolute Basket Return:

The absolute value of the Basket Return. For example, a Basket Return of -5% will equal a 5% Absolute Basket Return.

Starting Basket Level:

Set equal to 100 on the pricing date.

Ending Basket Level:

The Basket closing level on the Observation Date.

Basket Closing Level:

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

 

100 x [1 + ((Hang Seng China Enterprises Return * Hang Seng China Enterprises Weighting) + (Hang Seng Return * Hang Seng Weighting) + (KOSPI 200 Return * KOSPI 200 Weighting) + (MSCI Singapore Return * MSCI Singapore Weighting) + (MSCI Taiwan Return * MSCI Taiwan Weighting))]

Each of the returns set forth in the formula above refers to the Index Return for the relevant Basket Index, which reflects the performance of the relevant Basket Index, expressed as a percentage, from the closing level of that Basket Index on the pricing date to the closing level of that Basket Index on the Observation Date.

Observation Date:

September 14, 2009

Maturity Date:

September 17, 2009

CUSIP:

 

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. 134-A-I.

Hypothetical Examples of Amounts Payable at Maturity

The following examples illustrate how the total returns set forth in the table on the previous page and the graph above are calculated.

Example 1: The level of the Basket increases from the Starting Basket Level of 100 to an Ending Basket Level of 105. Because the Ending Basket Level of 105 is greater than the Starting Basket Level of 100 and the Basket Return of 5% multiplied by 2 does not exceed the hypothetical Maximum Total Return of 13.00%, the investor receives a payment at maturity of $1,100 per $1,000 principal amount note, calculated as follows:

$1,000 + [$1,000 x (5% x 2)] = $1,100

Example 2: The level of the Basket decreases from the Starting Basket Level of 100 to an Ending Basket Level of 95. Although the Basket Return is negative, because the Ending Basket Level of 95 is less than the Starting Basket Level of 100 by not more than the Buffer Amount of 10% and the Absolute Basket Return is 5%, the investor receives a payment at maturity of $1,050 per $1,000 principal amount note, calculated as follows:

$1,000 + ($1,000 x 5%) = $1,050

Example 3: 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 and the Basket Return of 20% multiplied by 2 exceeds the hypothetical Maximum Total Return of 13.00%, the investor receives a payment at maturity of $1,130 per $1,000 principal amount note, the maximum payment on the notes.

Example 4: The level of the Basket decreases from the Starting Basket Level of 100 to an Ending Basket Level of 80. Because the Basket Return is negative and the Ending Basket Level of 80 is less than the Starting Basket Level of 100 by more than the Buffer Amount of 10%, the investor receives a payment at maturity of $888.89 per $1,000 principal amount note, calculated as follows:

$1,000 + [$1,000 x (-20% + 10%) x 1.1111] = $888.89

APPENDIX A

The Hang Seng China Enterprises Index

     We have derived all information contained in this term sheet regarding the Hang Seng China Enterprises Index, including, without limitation, its make-up, method of calculation and changes in its components, from publicly available information. Such information reflects the policies of, and is subject to change by, HSI Services Limited (“HSI”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Hang Seng Bank. We make no representation or warranty as to the accuracy or completeness of such information. The Hang Seng® Index is calculated, maintained and published by HSI. HSI has no obligation to continue to publish, and may discontinue publication of, the Hang Seng China Enterprises Index.

     The Hang Seng China Enterprises Index was launched on August 8, 1994 as a market-capitalization weighted index consisting of all the Hong Kong listed H-shares of Chinese enterprises one year after the first H-share company was listed on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Ltd. (“HKSE”). H-shares are Hong Kong listed shares, traded in Hong Kong dollars, of Chinese state-owned enterprises. With the launch of the 200-stock Hang Seng Composite Index (“HSCI”) on October 3, 2001, the Hang Seng China Enterprises Index became part of the Hang Seng Composite Index Series (the “HSCI Series”). Since then, constituents of the Hang Seng China Enterprises Index comprise only the largest H-share companies included in the HSCI. The Hang Seng China Enterprises Index is reported by Bloomberg L.P. under the ticker symbol “HSCEI.”

Index Composition

     To be included in the HSCI and be eligible for inclusion in the Hang Seng China Enterprises Index, a component stock must have a primary listing on the Main Board of the HKSE, and the issuer of such component stock must not have (i) a secondary listing in Hong Kong, (ii) stocks listed on the Growth Enterprises Market or (iii) preference shares, debt securities or other derivatives. A component stock is removed from the HSCI following the semi-annual review process if (a) it experienced more than 20 trading days without turnover during the preceding 12 months (excluding days on which such component stock was suspended from trading) or (b) the component stock’s 12-month average market capitalization rank falls to the 240th position or below. Component stocks with less than one year listing history are counted on a pro-rata basis. A component stock is added to the HSCI following the semi-annual review process if (a) it experienced less than 20 trading days without turnover during the preceding 12 months (excluding days on which such component stock was suspended from trading) and (b) the component stock’s 12-month average market capitalization rank rises to the 160th position or above. The number of component stocks in the HSCI is fixed at 200, and, in the event that the number of component stocks that are removed from and added to the HSCI is not the same, the next highest ranking component stock will be added or the next lowest ranking component stock will be removed, as the case may be. A constituent of the Hang Seng® Index will be removed from the Hang Seng® Index if it has been suspended from trading for one month. Such a constituent may be retained in the Hang Seng® Index only in exceptional circumstances if it is believed that it is highly likely that the constituent will resume trading in the near future.

     H-Share companies joining or leaving the HSCI are automatically included or excluded from the Hang Seng China Enterprises Index.

Index Calculation

     The Hang Seng China Enterprises Index had a base value of 1,000 at launch, but was rebased on October 3, 2001 following the launch of the HSCI Series with a value of 2,000 on January 3, 2000 to align the Hang Seng China Enterprises Index with the HSCI Series.

     The calculation methodology of the Hang Seng China Enterprises Index changed on March 6, 2006 to a free float-adjusted market capitalization methodology. This free float adjustment aims to exclude from the index calculation long-term core shareholdings that are not readily available for trading. A free float-adjusted factor, which represents the proportion of shares that are free-floating as a percentage of issued shares, is now used to adjust the number of shares for index calculation. A cap of 15% is placed on individual component stock weights in the Hang Seng China Enterprises Index, which are reviewed semi-annually to ensure that no one component stock dominates the Hang Seng China Enterprises Index. If any component stock exceeds 15% of the value of the Hang Seng China Enterprises Index, HSI will cap such component stock’s representation in the Hang Seng China Enterprises Index at 15% until the next following semi-annual review. The following shareholdings are viewed as strategic in nature and are excluded from the Hang Seng China Enterprises Index calculation:

The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Ltd.

     Trading on the HKSE is fully electronic through an Automatic Order Matching and Execution System. The system is an electronic order book in which orders are matched and executed instantaneously if there are matching orders in the book, and on the basis of time/price priority. On-line real-time order entry and execution have eliminated the previous limitations of telephone-based trading. Trading takes place through trading terminals on the trading floor. There are no market-makers on the HKSE, but exchange dealers may act as dual capacity broker-dealers. Trading is undertaken from 10:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and then from 2:30 p.m. to 3:55 p.m. (Hong Kong time) every Hong Kong day except Saturdays, Sundays and other days on which the HKSE is closed. Hong Kong time is 12 hours ahead of Eastern Daylight Savings Time and 13 hours ahead of Eastern Standard Time. Settlement of trade is required within 48 hours and is conducted by electronic book-entry delivery through the Central Clearing and Settlement System.

     Due to the time differences between New York City and Hong Kong, on any normal trading day, trading on the HKSE currently will cease at 12:30 a.m. or 3:55 a.m., Eastern Daylight Savings Time, or 11:30 p.m. or 2:55 a.m., Eastern Standard Time.

     The HKSE has adopted certain measures intended to prevent any extreme short-term price fluctuations resulting from order imbalances or market volatility. Where the HKSE considers it necessary for the protection of the investor or the maintenance of an orderly market, it may at any time suspend dealings in any securities or cancel the listing of any securities in such circumstances and subject to such conditions as it thinks fit, whether requested by the listed issuer or not. The HKSE may also do so where: (1) an issuer fails, in a manner which the HKSE considers material, to comply with the HKSE Listing Rules or its Listing Agreements; (2) the HKSE considers there are insufficient securities in the hands of the public; (3) the HKSE considers that the listed issuer does not have a sufficient level of operations or sufficient assets to warrant the continued listing of the issuer’s securities; or (4) the HKSE considers that the issuer or its business is no longer suitable for listing. Investors should also be aware that the HKSE may suspend the trading of individual stocks in certain limited and extraordinary circumstances, until certain price-sensitive information has been disclosed to the public. Trading will not be resumed until a formal announcement has been made. Trading of a company’s shares may also be suspended if there is unusual trading activity in such shares.

     An issuer may apply for suspension of its own accord. A suspension request will normally only be acceded to in the following circumstances: (1) where, for a reason acceptable to the HKSE, price-sensitive information cannot at that time be disclosed; (2) where the issuer is subject to an offer, but only where terms have been agreed in principle and require discussion with, and agreement by, one or more major shareholders (suspensions will only normally be appropriate where no previous announcement has been made); (3) to maintain an orderly market; (4) where there is an occurrence of certain levels of notifiable transactions, such as substantial changes in the nature, control or structure of the issuer, where publication of full details is necessary to permit a realistic valuation to be made of the securities concerned, or the approval of shareholders is required; (5) where the issuer is no longer suitable for listing, or becomes a “cash” company; or (6) for issuers going into receivership or liquidation. As a result of the foregoing, variations in the Index may be limited by suspension of trading of individual equity securities which compose the Index which may, in turn, adversely affect the value of the warrants.

Licensing Agreement with HSI Services Limited

     We have entered into an agreement with HSI providing us and certain of our affiliates or subsidiaries identified in that agreement with a non-exclusive license and, for a fee, with the right to use the Hang Seng China Enterprises Index, which is owned and published by HSI, in connection with certain securities, including the notes.

     The Hang Seng China Enterprises Index is published and compiled by HSI Services Limited pursuant to a license from Hang Seng Data Services Limited. The mark and name of the Hang Seng China Enterprises Index are proprietary to Hang Seng Data Services Limited. HSI Services Limited and Hang Seng Data Services Limited have agreed to the use of, and reference to, the Hang Seng China Enterprises Index by JP Morgan Chase & Co., in connection with the notes (the “Product”), BUT NEITHER HSI SERVICES LIMITED NOR HANG SENG DATA SERVICES LIMITED WARRANTS OR REPRESENTS OR GUARANTEES TO ANY BROKER OR HOLDER OF THE PRODUCT OR ANY OTHER PERSON (i) THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE INDEX AND ITS COMPUTATION OR ANY INFORMATION RELATED THERETO; OR (ii) THE FITNESS OR SUITABILITY FOR ANY PURPOSE OF THE INDEX OR ANY COMPONENT OR DATA COMPRISED IN IT; OR (iii) THE RESULTS WHICH MAY BE OBTAINED BY ANY PERSON FROM THE USE OF THE INDEX OR ANY COMPONENT OR DATA COMPRISED IN IT FOR ANY PURPOSE, AND NO WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION OR GUARANTEE OF ANY KIND WHATSOEVER RELATING TO THE INDEX IS GIVEN OR MAY BE IMPLIED. The process and basis of computation and compilation of the Hang Seng China Enterprises Index and any of the related formula or formulae, constituent stocks and factors may at any time be changed or altered by HSI Services Limited without notice. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, NO RESPONSIBILITY OR LIABILITY IS ACCEPTED BY HSI SERVICES LIMITED OR HANG SENG DATA SERVICES LIMITED (i) IN RESPECT OF THE USE OF AND/OR REFERENCE TO THE INDEX BY JP MORGAN CHASE & CO. IN CONNECTION WITH THE PRODUCT; OR (ii) FOR ANY INACCURACIES, OMISSIONS, MISTAKES OR ERRORS OF HSI SERVICES LIMITED IN THE COMPUTATION OF THE HANG SANG CHINA ENTERPRISES INDEX; OR (iii) FOR ANY INACCURACIES, OMISSIONS, MISTAKES, ERRORS OR INCOMPLETENESS OF ANY INFORMATION USED IN CONNECTION WITH THE COMPUTATION OF THE INDEX WHICH IS SUPPLIED BY ANY OTHER PERSON; OR (iv) FOR ANY ECONOMIC OR OTHER LOSS WHICH MAY BE DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY SUSTAINED BY ANY BROKER OR HOLDER OF THE PRODUCT OR ANY OTHER PERSON DEALING WITH THE PRODUCT AS A RESULT OF ANY OF THE AFORESAID, AN NO CLAIMS, ACTIONS OR LEGAL PROCEEDINGS MAY BE BROUGHT AGAINST HSI SERVICES LIMITED AND/OR HANG SEND DATA SERVICES LIMITED in connection with the Product in any manner whatsoever by any broker, holder or other person dealing with the Product. Any broker, holder or other person dealing with the Product does so therefore in full knowledge of this disclaimer and can place no reliance whatsoever on HSI Services Limited and Hang Seng Data Services Limited. For the avoidance of doubt, this disclaimer does not create any contractual or quasi-contractual relationship between any broker, holder or other person and HSI Services Limited and/or Hang Seng Data Services Limited and must not be construed to have created such relationship.

APPENDIX B

The Hang Seng® Index

     We have derived all information contained in this term sheet regarding the Hang Seng® Index, including, without limitation, its make-up, method of calculation and changes in its components, from publicly available information. Such information reflects the policies of, and is subject to change by, HSI Services Limited (“HSI”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Hang Seng Bank. We make no representation or warranty as to the accuracy or completeness of such information. The Hang Seng® Index is calculated, maintained and published by HSI. HSI has no obligation to continue to publish, and may discontinue publication of, the Hang Seng® Index.

     The Hang Seng® Index was first calculated and published on November 24, 1969. The Hang Seng® Index is a free-float adjusted market capitalization weighted stock market index of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Ltd. (“HKSE”) and purports to be an indicator of the performance of the Hong Kong stock market. The Hang Seng® Index is reported by Bloomberg L.P. under the ticker symbol “HSI.”

Index Composition

     Only companies with a primary listing on the main board of the HKSE are eligible as constituents of the Hang Seng® Index. Mainland China enterprises that have an H-share listing in Hong Kong are eligible for inclusion in the Hang Seng® Index when they meet any one of the following conditions: (1) the H-share company has 100% of its ordinary share capital in the form of H-shares which are listed on the HKSE; (2) the H-share company has completed the process of share reform, with the result that there is no unlisted share capital in the company; or (3) for new H-share initial public offerings, the company has no unlisted share capital. For any H-share company included in the Hang Seng® Index, only the H-share portion of the share capital of the company will be used for index calculation, subject to free float adjustment. H-shares are shares of mainland China companies listed on HKSE.

     To be eligible for selection in the Hang Seng® Index , a company: (1) must be among those that constitute the top 90% of the total market value of all primary shares listed on the HKSE (market value is expressed as an average of the past 12 months); (2) must be among those that constitute the top 90% of the total turnover of all primary listed shares on the HKSE (turnover is aggregated and individually assessed for eight quarterly sub-periods for the past 24 months); and (3) should normally have a listing history of 24 months. From the candidates, final selections are based on the following: (1) the market value and turnover rankings of the companies; (2) the representation of the sub-sectors within the Index directly reflecting that of the market; and (3) the financial performance of the companies.

     A constituent of the Hang Seng® Index will be removed from the Hang Seng® Index if it has been suspended from trading for one month. Such a constituent may be retained in the Hang Seng® Index only in exceptional circumstances if it is believed that it is highly likely that the constituent will resume trading in the near future.

     From September 11, 2006, and phased in over a period of 12 months from September 2006 to September 2007, the calculation methodology of the Hang Seng® Index has been changed from a full market capitalization weighting to a free float-adjusted market capitalization weighting. Under this calculation methodology, the following shareholdings are viewed as strategic in nature and excluded for calculation: shares held by strategic shareholders who individually or collectively control more than 30% of the shareholdings; shares held by directors who individually control more than 5% of the shareholdings; shares held by a Hong Kong-listed company which controls more than 5% of the shareholdings as investments; and shares held by a shareholders who individually or collectively represent more than 5% of the shareholdings in the company and with a publicly disclosed lock-up management. A free float adjustment factor representing the proportion of shares that is free floated as a percentage of the issued shares, is rounded up to the nearest multiple of 5% for the calculation of the Hang Seng® Index and is updated half-yearly.

     A cap of 15% on individual stock weightings is applied. A cap factor is calculated half-yearly to coincide with the regular update of the free float adjustment factor. Additional re-capping is performed upon constituent changes.

The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Ltd.

     Trading on the HKSE is fully electronic through an Automatic Order Matching and Execution System. The system is an electronic order book in which orders are matched and executed instantaneously if there are matching orders in the book, and on the basis of time/price priority. On-line real-time order entry and execution have eliminated the previous limitations of telephone-based trading. Trading takes place through trading terminals on the trading floor. There are no market-makers on the HKSE, but exchange dealers may act as dual capacity broker-dealers. Trading is undertaken from 10:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and then from 2:30 p.m. to 3:55 p.m. (Hong Kong time) every Hong Kong day except Saturdays, Sundays and other days on which the HKSE is closed. Hong Kong time is 12 hours ahead of Eastern Daylight Savings Time and 13 hours ahead of Eastern Standard Time. Settlement of trade is required within 48 hours and is conducted by electronic book-entry delivery through the Central Clearing and Settlement System.

     Due to the time differences between New York City and Hong Kong, on any normal trading day, trading on the HKSE currently will cease at 12:30 a.m. or 3:55 a.m., Eastern Daylight Savings Time, or 11:30 p.m. or 2:55 a.m., Eastern Standard Time.

     The HKSE has adopted certain measures intended to prevent any extreme short-term price fluctuations resulting from order imbalances or market volatility. Where the HKSE considers it necessary for the protection of the investor or the maintenance of an orderly market, it may at any time suspend dealings in any securities or cancel the listing of any securities in such circumstances and subject to such conditions as it thinks fit, whether requested by the listed issuer or not. The HKSE may also do so where: (1) an issuer fails, in a manner which the HKSE considers material, to comply with the HKSE Listing Rules or its Listing Agreements; (2) the HKSE considers there are insufficient securities in the hands of the public; (3) the HKSE considers that the listed issuer does not have a sufficient level of operations or sufficient assets to warrant the continued listing of the issuer’s securities; or (4) the HKSE considers that the issuer or its business is no longer suitable for listing. Investors should also be aware that the HKSE may suspend the trading of individual stocks in certain limited and extraordinary circumstances, until certain price-sensitive information has been disclosed to the public. Trading will not be resumed until a formal announcement has been made. Trading of a company’s shares may also be suspended if there is unusual trading activity in such shares.

     An issuer may apply for suspension of its own accord. A suspension request will normally only be acceded to in the following circumstances: (1) where, for a reason acceptable to the HKSE, price-sensitive information cannot at that time be disclosed; (2) where the issuer is subject to an offer, but only where terms have been agreed in principle and require discussion with, and agreement by, one or more major shareholders (suspensions will only normally be appropriate where no previous announcement has been made); (3) to maintain an orderly market; (4) where there is an occurrence of certain levels of notifiable transactions, such as substantial changes in the nature, control or structure of the issuer, where publication of full details is necessary to permit a realistic valuation to be made of the securities concerned, or the approval of shareholders is required; (5) where the issuer is no longer suitable for listing, or becomes a “cash” company; or (6) for issuers going into receivership or liquidation. As a result of the foregoing, variations in the Index may be limited by suspension of trading of individual equity securities which compose the Index which may, in turn, adversely affect the value of the warrants.
