Buffered Return Enhanced Notes Linked to a Weighted Basket Consisting of the S&P 500® Index, the MSCI EAFE® Index and the iShares® MSCI Emerging Markets Index Fund due August 31, 2011

General

  • The notes are designed for investors who seek an uncapped return of at least 1.08 times the appreciation of a weighted diversified basket of domestic and international components consisting of two indices and one exchange traded fund at maturity. Investors should be willing to forgo interest and dividend payments and, if the Basket declines by more than 20%, be willing to lose up to 80% of their principal.
  • Senior unsecured obligations of JPMorgan Chase & Co. maturing August 31, 2011†.
  • Minimum denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof.
  • The notes are expected to price on or about August 28, 2007 and are expected to settle on or about August 31, 2007.

Key Terms

Basket:

The notes are linked to a basket consisting of the S&P 500® Index (“SPX”), the MSCI EAFE® Index (“MXEA”) and the iShares® MSCI Emerging Markets Index Fund (“EEM”) (each a “Basket Component,” and together, the “Basket Components”).

Component Weightings:

The S&P 500 Weighting is 60%, the MSCI EAFE Weighting is 30% and the MSCI Emerging Markets Weighting is 10% (each a “Component Weighting,” and collectively, the “Component Weightings”).

Upside Leverage Factor:

At least 1.08*.

Payment at Maturity:

If the Ending Basket Level is greater than the Starting Basket Level, you will receive a cash payment that provides you with a return per $1,000 principal amount note equal to the Basket Return multiplied by 1.08*. Accordingly, if the Basket Return is positive, your payment per $1,000 principal amount note will be calculated as follows:

 

$1,000 + [$1,000 x (Basket Return x 1.08*)]

 

* The actual Upside Leverage Factor will be set on the pricing date and will not be less than 1.08.

 

Your principal is protected against up to a 20% decline in the Basket. If the Ending Basket Level declines from the Starting Basket Level by up to 20%, you will receive the principal amount of your notes at maturity.

If the Ending Basket Level declines from the Starting Basket Level by more than 20%, you will lose 1% of the principal amount of your notes for every 1% that the Basket declines beyond 20%. Under these circumstances, your final payment per $1,000 principal amount note will be calculated as follows:

 

$1,000 + [$1,000 x (Basket Return + 20%)]

 

If the Ending Basket Level declines from the Starting Basket Level by more than 20%, you could lose up to $800 per $1,000 principal amount note.

Buffer Amount:

20%, which results in a minimum payment of $200 per $1,000 principal amount note.

Basket Return:

Ending Basket Level – Starting Basket Level
               Starting Basket Level

 

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:

The Basket Closing Level will be calculated as follows:

 

100 x [1 + (S&P 500 Return * S&P 500 Weighting) + (MSCI EAFE Return * MSCI EAFE Weighting ) + (MSCI Emerging Markets Return * MSCI Emerging Markets Weighting)]

 

The S&P 500 Return, the MSCI EAFE Return and the MSCI Emerging Markets Return are the performance of the respective Basket Components, expressed as a percentage, from the respective Basket Component closing levels or closing price on the pricing date to the respective Basket Component closing levels or closing price on the Observation Date. The Final Share Price used to calculate the MSCI Emerging Markets Return is the closing price of one share of the iShares® MSCI Emerging Markets Index Fund on the Observation Date, multiplied by the Share Adjustment Factor. For additional information, see “Description of Notes — Payment at Maturity” in the accompanying product supplement no. 39-III.

Share Adjustment Factor:

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. 39-III for further information about these adjustments.

Observation Date:

August 26, 2011†

Maturity Date:

August 31, 2011†

CUSIP:

48123JS83

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. 39-III.

ADDITIONAL TERMS SPECIFIC TO THE NOTES

You should read this term sheet together with the prospectus dated December 1, 2005, as supplemented by the prospectus supplement dated October 12, 2006 relating to our Series E medium-term notes of which these notes are a part, and the more detailed information contained in product supplement no. 39-III dated July 25, 2007. This term sheet, together with the documents listed below, contains the terms of the notes and supersedes all other prior or contemporaneous oral statements as well as any other written materials including preliminary or indicative pricing terms, correspondence, trade ideas, structures for implementation, sample structures, fact sheets, brochures or other educational materials of ours. You should carefully consider, among other things, the matters set forth in “Risk Factors” in the accompanying product supplement no. 39-III, as the notes involve risks not associated with conventional debt securities. We urge you to consult your investment, legal, tax, accounting and other advisers before you invest in the notes.

You may access these documents on the SEC website at www.sec.gov as follows (or if such address has changed, by reviewing our filings for the relevant date on the SEC website):

Our Central Index Key, or CIK, on the SEC website is 19617. As used in this term sheet, the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our” refers to JPMorgan Chase & Co.

Selected Purchase Considerations

  • UNCAPPED APPRECIATION POTENTIAL — The notes provide the opportunity to enhance equity returns by multiplying a positive Basket Return by an Upside Leverage Factor of at least 1.08. The actual Upside Leverage Factor will be set on the pricing date and will not be less than 1.08. The notes are not subject to a predetermined maximum gain and, accordingly, any return at maturity will be determined by the appreciation of the Basket. Because the notes are our senior unsecured obligations, payment of any amount at maturity is subject to our ability to pay our obligations as they become due.
  • LIMITED PROTECTION AGAINST LOSS — Payment at maturity of the principal amount of your notes is protected against a decline in the Ending Basket Level, as compared to the Starting Basket Level, of up to 20%. If the Ending Basket Level declines by more than 20%, for every 1% decline beyond 20%, you will lose an amount equal to 1% of the principal amount of your notes. Accordingly, at maturity you will receive a payment equal to at least $200 for each $1,000 principal amount note.
  • DIVERSIFICATION AMONG THE BASKET COMPONENTS — Because the S&P 500® Index makes up 60% of the Basket, we expect that generally the market value of your notes and your payment at maturity will depend significantly on the performance of the S&P 500® Index.
    The return on the notes is linked to a basket consisting of the S&P 500® Index, the MSCI EAFE® Index and the iShares® MSCI Emerging Markets Index Fund. The S&P 500® Index consists of 500 component stocks selected to provide a performance benchmark for the U.S. equity markets. The MSCI EAFE® Index is designed to measure developed market equity performance in Europe, Asia, Australia and the Far East, but excluding the United States and Canada. The iShares® MSCI Emerging Markets Index Fund is a registered investment company that consists of numerous separate investment portfolios that seeks to provide investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of publicly traded securities in emerging markets as measured by the MSCI Emerging Markets Index. The MSCI Emerging Markets Index is a free-float adjusted average of the U.S. dollar values of all of the equity securities constituting the MSCI indices for selected emerging markets countries. For additional information about each Basket Component, see “The S&P 500® Index,” “The MSCI EAFE® Index” and “The iShares® MSCI Emerging Markets Index Fund” in the accompanying product supplement no. 39-III.
  • CAPITAL GAINS TAX TREATMENT — You should review carefully the section entitled “Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” in the accompanying product supplement no. 39-III. Subject to the limitations described therein, and based on certain factual representations received from us, in the opinion of our special tax counsel, Davis Polk & Wardwell, it is reasonable to treat your purchase and ownership of the notes as an “open transaction” that will generate long-term capital gain or loss if held for more than one year for U.S. federal income tax purposes, whether or not you are an initial purchaser of notes at the issue price. However, the Internal Revenue Service or a court may not respect this characterization or treatment of the notes, in which case the timing and character of any income or loss on the notes could be significantly and adversely affected. For example, the notes could be treated either as subject (in whole or in part) to the “constructive ownership transactions” rules of Section 1260 of the Internal Revenue Code, as discussed in the section entitled “Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” in the accompanying product supplement no. 39-III, or as “contingent payment debt instruments.” You should consult your tax adviser regarding the treatment of the notes, including these possible alternative treatments.

Selected Risk Considerations

An investment in the notes involves significant risks. Investing in the notes is not equivalent to investing directly in the Basket Components or any of the stocks composing the S&P 500® Index or the MSCI EAFE® Index or the equity securities held by the iShares® MSCI Emerging Markets Index Fund. These risks are explained in more detail in the “Risk Factors” section of the accompanying product supplement no. 39-III dated July 25, 2007.

  • YOUR INVESTMENT IN THE NOTES MAY RESULT IN A LOSS — The notes do not guarantee any return of principal in excess of $200 per $1,000 principal amount note. The return on the notes at maturity is linked to the performance of the Basket and will depend on whether, and the extent to which, the Basket Return is positive or negative. Your investment will be exposed to any decline in the Ending Basket Level, as compared to the Starting Basket Level, beyond the 20% buffer. Accordingly, you could lose up to $800 for each $1,000 principal amount note that you invest in.
  • CERTAIN BUILT-IN COSTS ARE LIKELY TO ADVERSELY AFFECT THE VALUE OF THE NOTES PRIOR TO MATURITY — While the payment at maturity described in this term sheet is based on the full principal amount of your notes, the original issue price of the notes includes the agent’s commission and the cost of hedging our obligations under the notes through one or more of our affiliates. As a result, the price, if any, at which JPMSI will be willing to purchase notes from you in secondary market transactions 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. The notes are not designed to be short-term trading instruments. Accordingly, you should be able and willing to hold your notes to maturity.
  • NO INTEREST OR DIVIDEND PAYMENTS OR VOTING RIGHTS — As a holder of the notes, you will not receive interest payments, and you will not have voting rights or rights to receive cash dividends or other distributions or other rights that holders of securities composing any of the Basket Components would have.
  • SOME OF THE BASKET COMPONENTS, AND THUS THE NOTES THEMSELVES, ARE SUBJECT TO CURRENCY EXCHANGE RISK — Because the prices of the component stocks of the country indices that compose the MSCI EAFE® Index are converted into U.S. dollars for purposes of calculating the value of the component country indices and the MSCI EAFE® Index, and the prices of the equity securities held by the iShares® MSCI Emerging Markets Index Fund are converted into U.S. dollars for purposes of calculating the net asset value of the iShares® MSCI Emerging Markets Index Fund, your notes will be exposed to currency exchange rate risk with respect to each of the currencies in which the component stocks of the MSCI EAFE® Index or the equity securities held by the iShares® MSCI Emerging Markets Index Fund trade. Your net exposure will depend on the extent to which such currencies strengthen or weaken against the U.S. dollar and the relative weight of the component stocks in the MSCI EAFE® Index and the equity securities held by the iShares® MSCI Emerging Markets Index Fund denominated in each such currency. If, taking into account such weighting, the U.S. dollar strengthens against such currencies, the value of the MSCI EAFE® Index or the iShares® MSCI Emerging Markets Index Fund will be adversely affected and the payment at maturity of the notes may be reduced.
  • THERE ARE RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THE iSHARES® MSCI EMERGING MARKETS INDEX FUND — The iShares® MSCI Emerging Markets Index Fund has a limited operating history, having commenced trading in April 2003. Although its shares are listed for trading on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) and a number of similar products have been traded on various national securities exchanges for varying periods of time, there is no assurance that an active trading market will continue for the shares of the iShares® MSCI Emerging Markets Index Fund or that there will be liquidity in the trading market. In addition, Barclays Global Fund Advisors, which we refer to as BGFA, is the iShares® MSCI Emerging Markets Index Fund’s investment advisor. The iShares® MSCI Emerging Markets Index Fund is subject to management risk, which is the risk that BGFA’s investment strategy, the implementation of which is subject to a number of constraints, may not produce the intended results. Pursuant to its investment strategy or otherwise, BGFA may add, delete or substitute the equity securities held by the iShares® MSCI Emerging Markets Index Fund. Any of these actions could adversely affect the price of the shares of the iShares® MSCI Emerging Markets Index Fund and consequently the value of the notes.
  • DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE iSHARES® MSCI EMERGING MARKETS INDEX FUND AND THE MSCI EMERGING MARKETS INDEX — The iShares® MSCI Emerging Markets Index Fund does not fully replicate the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, may hold securities not included in the MSCI Emerging Markets Index and will reflect transaction costs and fees that are not included in the calculation of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, all of which may lead to a lack of correlation between the iShares® MSCI Emerging Markets Index Fund and the MSCI Emerging Markets Index. In addition, because the shares of the iShares® MSCI Emerging Markets Index Fund are traded on the NYSE and are subject to market supply and investor demand, the market price per share of the iShares® MSCI Emerging Markets Index Fund may differ from the net asset value per share of the iShares® MSCI Emerging Markets Index Fund.
  • 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.
  • POTENTIAL CONFLICTS — We and our affiliates play a variety of roles in connection with the issuance of the notes, including acting as calculation agent and hedging our obligations under the notes. 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. In addition, we are currently one of the companies that make up the S&P 500® Index. We will not have any obligation to consider your interest as a holder of the notes in taking any appropriate action that might affect the value of the S&P 500® Index or the notes.
  • THE ANTI-DILUTION PROTECTION FOR THE iSHARES® MSCI EMERGING MARKETS INDEX FUND IS LIMITED — The calculation agent will make adjustments to the Share Adjustment Factor for certain events affecting the shares of the iShares® MSCI Emerging Markets Index Fund. However, the calculation agent will not make an adjustment in response to all events that could affect the shares of the iShares® MSCI Emerging Markets Index 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.

 TS-2

  • MANY ECONOMIC AND MARKET FACTORS WILL IMPACT THE VALUE OF THE NOTES — In addition to the level of the Basket on any 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, including:
    • the expected volatility of the Basket Components;
    • the time to maturity of the notes;
    • the dividend rate on the common stocks underlying the Basket Components;
    • interest and yield rates in the market generally as well as in each of the markets of the securities composing the S&P 500® Index and the MSCI EAFE® Index, and securities held by the iShares® MSCI Emerging Markets Index Fund;
    • the occurrence of certain events to the iShares® MSCI Emerging Markets Index Fund that may or may not require an adjustment to the Share Adjustment Factor;
    • a variety of economic, financial, political, regulatory or judicial events;
    • the exchange rate and the volatility of the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and each of the currencies in which the stocks composing the MSCI EAFE® Index and the equity securities held by the iShares® MSCI Emerging Markets Index Fund are denominated; and
    • our creditworthiness, including actual or anticipated downgrades in our credit ratings.

What Is the Total Return on the Notes at Maturity Assuming a Range of Performance for the Basket?

The following table illustrates the hypothetical total return at maturity on the notes. The “total return” as used in this term sheet is the number, expressed as a percentage, that results from comparing the payment at maturity per $1,000 principal amount note to $1,000. The hypothetical total returns set forth below assume an Upside Leverage Factor of 1.08. The hypothetical total returns set forth below are for illustrative purposes only and may not be the actual total returns applicable to a purchaser of the notes. The numbers appearing in the following table and examples 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 a 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, the investor receives a payment at maturity of $1,054 per $1,000 principal amount note, calculated as follows:

$1,000 + [$1,000 x (5% x 1.08)] = $1,054

Example 2: The level of the Basket decreases from a Starting Basket Level of 100 to an Ending Basket Level of 80. Because the Ending Basket Level of 80 is less than the Starting Basket Level of 100 by not more than the Buffer Amount of 20%, the investor receives a payment at maturity of $1,000 per $1,000 principal amount note.

Example 3: The level of the Basket decreases from a Starting Basket Level of 100 to an Ending Basket Level of 70. Because the Ending Basket Level of 70 is less than the Starting Basket Level of 100 by more than the Buffer Amount of 20%, the Basket Return is negative and the investor receives a payment at maturity of $900 per $1,000 principal amount note, calculated as follows:

$1,000 + [$1,000 x (-30% + 20%)] = $900

Example 4: The level of the Basket decreases from a Starting Basket Level of 100 to an Ending Basket Level of 0. Because the Ending Basket Level of 0 is less than the Starting Basket Level of 100 by more than the Buffer Amount of 20%, the Basket Return is negative and the investor receives a payment at maturity of $200 per $1,000 principal amount note, which reflects the principal protection provided by the 20% Buffer Amount, calculated as follows:

$1,000 + [$1,000 x (-100% + 20%)] = $200
