Key Terms

Index:	The S&P 500^®Index (SPX) (the “Index”)
Upside Leverage Factor:	2
Payment at Maturity:	If the Ending Index Level is greater than the Initial Index Level, you will receive a cash payment that provides you a return per $1,000 principal amount note equal to the Index Return multiplied by two, subject to a Maximum Total Return on the note of 15%. For example, if the Index Return is more than 7.5%, you will receive the Maximum Total Return on the note of 15%, which entitles you to the maximum payment of $1,150 for every $1,000 principal amount note that you hold. Accordingly, if the Index Return is positive, your payment per $1,000 principal amount note will be calculated as follows, subject to the Maximum Total Return:
	$1,000 + [$1,000 x (Index Return x 2)]
	* The actual Maximum Total Return on the note will be set on the pricing date and will not be less than 15%.
	Your principal is protected against up to a 5% decline of the Index at maturity. If the Ending Index Level declines from the Initial Index Level by up to 5%, you will receive the principal amount of your notes at maturity. If the Ending Index Level declines from the Initial Index Level by more than 5%, you will lose 1.0526% of the principal amount of your notes for every 1% that the Index declines beyond 5% and your final payment per $1,000 principal amount note will be calculated as follows:
	$1,000 + [$1,000 x (Index Return + 5%) x 1.0526]
	You will lose some or all of your investment at maturity if the Ending Index Level declines from the Initial Index Level by more than 5%.
Buffer:	5%
Downside Leverage Factor:	1.0526
Index Return:	Ending Index Level – Initial Index Level Initial Index Level
Initial Index Level:	The Index closing level on the pricing date, which is expected to be on or about June 30, 2006.
Ending Index Level:	The Index closing level on the Observation Date.
Observation Date:	August 14, 2007^†
Maturity Date:	August 17, 2007^†

If the notes priced today, J.P. Morgan Securities Inc., whom we refer to as JPMSI, would receive commissions of approximately $12.50 per $1,000 principal amount note and would use a portion of those commissions to allow selling concessions to other dealers of approximately $1.00 per $1,000 principal amount note. The actual commissions received by JPMSI may be more or less than $12.50 and will depend on market conditions on the pricing date. In no event will the commissions received by JPMSI, which include concessions to be allowed to other dealers, exceed $17.50 per $1,000 principal amount note.

Selected Purchase Considerations

APPRECIATION POTENTIAL — The notes provide the opportunity to enhance equity returns by multiplying a positive Index Return by two, up to the Maximum Total Return on the notes of 15%, or $1,150 for every $1,000 principal amount note. The actual Maximum Total Return on the notes will be set on the pricing date and will not be less than 15%. 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 the notes is protected against a decline in the Ending Index Level, as compared to the Initial Index Level, of up to 5%. If the Ending Index Level declines by more than 5%, for every 1% decline of the Index beyond 5%, you will lose an amount equal to 1 .0526% of the principal amount of your notes.
DIVERSIFICATION OF THE S&P 500^®INDEX — The return on the notes is linked to the S&P 500^® Index. The S&P 500^® Index consists of 500 component stocks selected to provide a performance benchmark for the U.S. equity markets. For additional information about the Index, see the information set forth under “The S&P 500^® Index” in the accompanying product supplement no. 18-I.
CAPITAL GAINS TAX TREATMENT — You should review carefully the section entitled “Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” in the accompanying product supplement no. no. 18-I. 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” for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Assuming this characterization is respected, your gain or loss on the notes should be treated as long-term capital gain or loss if you hold the notes for more than a year, 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 of the notes, in which case the timing and character of any income or loss on the notes could be significantly and adversely affected. You should consult your tax adviser regarding the treatment of the notes, including possible alternative characterizations.

Selected Risk Considerations

An investment in the notes involves significant risks. Investing in the notes is not equivalent to investing directly in the Index or any of the component stocks of the Index. These risks are explained in more detail in the “Risk Factors” section of the accompanying product supplement no. 18-I dated March 16, 2006.

YOUR INVESTMENT IN THE NOTES MAY RESULT IN A LOSS — The notes do not guarantee any return of principal. The return on the notes at maturity is linked to the performance of the Index and will depend on whether, and the extent to which, the Index Return is positive or negative. Your investment will be exposed on a leveraged basis to any decline in the Ending Index Level beyond the 5% buffer as compared to the Initial Index Level.
YOUR MAXIMUM GAIN ON THE NOTES IS LIMITED TO THE MAXIMUM TOTAL RETURN — If the Ending Index Level is greater than the Initial Index Level, for each $1,000 principal amount note, you will receive at maturity $1,000 plus an additional amount that will not exceed the Maximum Total Return of 15%, regardless of the appreciation in the Index, which may be significant. The actual Maximum Total Return on the note will be set on the pricing date and will not be less than 15%.
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


JPMorgan Structured Investments — Buffered Return Enhanced Notes Linked to the S&P 500^® Index	TS-1

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. The notes are not designed to be short-term trading instruments. Accordingly, you should be 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 the S&P 500^® Index would have.
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 one of the companies that make up the Index. 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 Index and the notes.
MANY ECONOMIC AND MARKET FACTORS WILL IMPACT THE VALUE OF THE NOTES — In addition to the level of the Index 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 Index;
- the time to maturity of the notes;
- the dividend rate on the common stocks underlying the Index;
- interest and yield rates in the market generally;
- a variety of economic, financial, political, regulatory or judicial events; 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 Index?

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 Initial Index Level of 1250 and a Maximum Total Return on the notes of 15%. 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 Index increases from an Initial Index Level of 1250 to an Ending Index Level of 1312.50. Because the Ending Index Level of 1312.50 is greater than the Initial Index Level of 1250 and the Index Return of 5% multiplied by 2 does not exceed the Maximum Total Return of 15%, 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 Index decreases from an Initial Index Level of 1250 to an Ending Index Level of 1187.50. Because the Ending Index Level of 1187.50 is less than the Initial Index Level of 1250 by not more than the Buffer Amount of 5%, the investor will receive a payment at maturity of $1000 per $1,000 principal amount note.

Example 3: The level of the Index increases from the Initial Index Level of 1250 to an Ending Index Level of 1500. Because the Index Return of 20% multiplied by 2 exceeds the hypothetical Maximum Total Return of 15%, the investor receives a payment at maturity of $1,150 per $1,000 principal amount note, the maximum payment on the notes.

Example 4: The level of the Index decreases from an Initial Index Level of 1250 to an Ending Index Level of 1000. Because the Ending Index Level of 1000 is less than the Initial Index Level of 1250 by more than the Buffer Amount of 5%, the Index return is negative and the investor will receive a payment at maturity of $842.11 per $1,000 principal amount note calculated as follows:

$1,000 + [$1,000 x (-20% + 5%) x 1.0526] = $842.11
