(b)    You acknowledge that Program Securities that are to be sold pursuant to any offering may be suitable only for experienced investors who are able to evaluate the risk of such Program Securities.

(ii) prior to recommending, marketing, selling, reselling or transferring any such Program Securities, you and they will independently make a reasonable determination that such Program Securities are suitable for the relevant investor and that such investor is capable of independently evaluating the risk of such Program Securities (or has received advice on such risks from an appropriate adviser before agreeing to acquire any such Program Securities), and ensure that such investor has all such information as is required for the purpose of making such an evaluation.
 
(d)     You represent and warrant, on behalf of yourself and any subsidiary, affiliate or agent to be used by you in the context of this Agreement, that you and they:

For purposes of this Agreement, the term “U.S. Economic Sanctions” means any U.S. sanctions administered by OFAC, including without limitation those issued under the authority of the Trading with the Enemy Act, the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, or the United Nations Participation Act, all as amended, Executive Orders and Proclamations issued thereunder, and implementing regulations issued by OFAC (including those codified in Chapter V of Title 31, Code of Federal Regulations), as well as any orders or licenses issued under the authority of any of the foregoing.

(e)    You represent and warrant, on behalf of yourself and any subsidiary, affiliate or agent to be used by you in the context of this Agreement, that you and they:
 
(i)  have adopted and implemented anti-money laundering policies, procedures and controls that comply in all respects with the requirements of applicable anti-money laundering laws, including those required by the Bank Secrecy Act, as amended by Title III of the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act (the “Patriot Act”), and will at all times adhere to your and their anti-money laundering policies, procedures and controls;
 
(ii)  are not and will not be a foreign bank without a physical presence in any country (a “Foreign Shell Bank”) within the meaning of Section 313 of the Patriot Act and regulations thereunder, and are not and will not be operating or doing business under an “Offshore Banking License” as such term is defined in Section 312 of the Patriot Act;
 
(iii)  will not, in conducting the activities that are the subject of this Agreement, do business (A) in a jurisdiction deemed non-cooperative with international anti-money laundering principles or procedures by the Financial Action Task Force or any other intergovernmental group of which the United States is a member, (B) in a jurisdiction, or with an industry or financial institution, designated as of primary money laundering concern by the U.S. Secretary of the Treasury or (C) in a jurisdiction that is the subject of a Financial Crimes Enforcement Network Advisory;

(v)  have adopted and implemented, and will maintain, “Know Your Customer” policies and procedures, which have been applied and will continue to be applied to each of your and their customers in accordance with such policies and procedures.
 
(f)    You represent and warrant that if any Program Securities are to be offered outside the United States (i) you will not offer or sell any such Program Securities in any jurisdiction if such offer or sale would not be in compliance with any applicable law or regulation or if any consent, approval or permission is needed for such offer or sale by you or for or on behalf of the applicable Issuer, unless such consent, approval or permission has been previously obtained and (ii) you will comply with all applicable selling restrictions set forth in any Time of Sale Information, the Prospectus or the Registration Statement, as the case may be.  It is further understood and agreed that we shall have no responsibility for, and you will obtain, any consent, approval or permission required by you for the subscription, offer, sale or delivery by you of Program Securities, or the distribution of any offering materials, under the laws and regulations in force in any jurisdiction to which you are subject or in or from which you make any subscription, offer, sale or delivery.
 
Notwithstanding anything in the Master Agency Agreement to the contrary, the obligations of each of the Existing Agents and the Additional Agent(s) under Section 9 of the Master Agency Agreement are several and not joint, and in no case shall any Existing Agent or Additional Agent (except as may be provided in any agreement among them) be responsible under Section 9(d) of the Master Agency Agreement to contribute any amount in excess of the commissions received by such Existing Agent or Additional Agent from the offering of the Program Securities.

The procedures to be followed during, and the specific terms of, the solicitation of orders by the Agents and the sale as a result thereof by the Company are explained below.  The Company will advise the Agents and BNYM in writing of those persons handling administrative responsibilities with whom the Agents and BNYM are to communicate regarding orders to purchase the Program Securities and the details of their delivery.
 
Administrative procedures and specific terms of the offering are explained below.  The procedures set out in Section I herein shall apply to each issue of Notes, Warrants or Units to be cleared by DTC and the procedures set out in Section II herein shall apply to each issue of Notes, Warrants or Units to be cleared by Euroclear and/or Clearstream.  Book-Entry Notes, Book-Entry Warrants and Book-Entry Units, which may be payable in either U.S. dollars or other specified currencies, will be issued in accordance with the administrative procedures set forth herein as they may subsequently be amended as the result of changes in the operating procedures of DTC, Euroclear or Clearstream.  Unless

In connection with the qualification of the Book-Entry Notes, Book-Entry Warrants or Book-Entry Units for eligibility in the book-entry system maintained by DTC, BNYM will perform the custodial, document control and administrative functions described below.  BNYM will perform such functions in accordance with its obligations under a Letter of Representations from the Company to DTC dated as of May 23, 2002 and as a participant in DTC, including DTC’s Same-Day Funds Settlement System (“SDFS”).

Unless otherwise specified in any Prospectus, Time of Sale Information or Free Writing Prospectus, on any date of settlement (as defined under “Settlement” below) for one or more Book-Entry Notes, one or more Book-Entry Warrants or one or more Book-Entry Units, the Company will issue, in the case of the Notes, a single global Note in fully registered form without coupons (a “Global Note”) representing up to U.S. $500,000,000 principal amount of all such Notes that have the same Original Issue Date, Maturity Date and other terms, and, in the case of the Warrants, a single global Warrant in fully registered form (a “Global Warrant”), with a notional amount of up to U.S. $500,000,000 that have the same Exercise Price, Exercise Date, Exercise Period, Expiration Date and other terms, and in the case of Units, a single global unit in fully registered form (a “Global Unit”), representing up to U.S. $500,000,000 face amount that have the same Original Issue Date and that otherwise comprise the same securities and have the same terms.  Each Global Note and each Global Warrant, whether issued alone or as part of a Unit,
 
 
C-3

 
 
 
will be dated and issued as of the date of its authentication, or countersignature as the case may be, by BNYM and each Global Unit will be dated and issued as of the date of the issuances of the other securities comprised by such Unit.  Each Global Note, whether issued alone or as part of a Unit, will bear an “Interest Accrual Date,” which will be (i) with respect to an original Global Note (or any portion thereof), its original issuance date and (ii) with respect to any Global Note (or any portion thereof) issued subsequently upon exchange of a Global Note, or in lieu of a destroyed, lost or stolen Global Note, the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for on the predecessor Global Note or Notes (or if no such payment or provision has been made, the original issuance date of the predecessor Global Note), regardless of the date of authentication of such subsequently issued Global Note.  Book-Entry Notes, Book-Entry Warrants and Book-Entry Units may be payable in either U.S. dollars or other specified currencies.  No Global Note, Global Warrant or Global Unit will represent, any Certificated Note, Certificated Warrant or Certificated Unit, as the case may be.
 
Preparation of Term Sheet:
If any order to purchase a Book-Entry Note, Book-Entry Warrant or Book-Entry Unit is accepted by or on behalf of the Company, the Company will prepare a preliminary or final term sheet (a “Term Sheet”) reflecting the terms of such Note, Warrant or Unit.  The Company (i) will arrange to file an electronic format document, in the manner prescribed by the EDGAR Filer Manual, of any preliminary Term Sheet with the Commission as required by Rule 433 under the Securities Act, and with respect to the Term Sheet setting forth the final terms of the Book-Entry Note, Book-Entry Warrant or Book-Entry Unit, as applicable, in accordance with the applicable paragraph of Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act and (ii) will, as soon as possible and in any event not later than the date on which such Term Sheet is filed with the Commission, deliver the number of copies of such Term Sheet to the Agent as the Agent shall request.  The Agent will cause such Term Sheet to be delivered, or otherwise made available, to the purchaser of the Note, Warrant or Unit.
 
 
C-4

Failure to Settle:
If BNYM fails to enter an SDFS deliver order with respect to a Book-Entry Note, Book-Entry Warrant or a Book-Entry Unit pursuant to Settlement Procedure “H”, BNYM may upon the written request of the Company deliver to DTC, through DTC’s Participant Terminal System, as soon as practicable a withdrawal message instructing DTC to debit such Note, Warrant or Unit to BNYM’s participant account, provided that BNYM’s participant account contains a principal amount of the Global Note representing such Note, an aggregate notional amount of the Global Warrant representing such Warrant, or an aggregate face amount of the Global Unit representing such Unit that is at least equal to the principal amount, notional amount or face amount to be debited.  If a withdrawal message is processed with respect to all the Book-Entry Notes represented by a Global Note, all the Book-Entry Warrants represented by a Global Warrant or all the Book-Entry Units represented by a Global Unit, BNYM will mark such Global Note, Global Warrant or Global Unit “canceled,” make appropriate entries in BNYM’s records and send such canceled Global Note, Global Warrant or Global Unit to the Company.  The CUSIP number assigned to such Global Note, Global Warrant or Global Unit shall, in accordance with the procedures of the CUSIP Service Bureau of Standard & Poor’s Corporation, be canceled and not immediately reassigned.  If a withdrawal message is processed with respect to one or more, but not all, of the Book-Entry Notes represented by a Global Note, with respect to one or more, but not all, of the Book-Entry Warrants represented by a Global Warrant, or with respect to one or more, but not all, of the Book-Entry Units represented by a Global Unit, BNYM will exchange such Global Note, Global Warrant or Global Unit, as the case may be, for two Global Notes, for two Global Warrants or for two Global Units, as the case may be, one of which shall represent such Book-Entry Note or Notes, such Book-Entry Warrant or Warrants or such Book-Entry Unit or Units and shall be

If the purchase price for any Book-Entry Note, Book-Entry Warrant or Book-Entry Unit is not timely paid to the Participants with respect to such Note, Warrant or Unit by the beneficial purchaser thereof (or any person, including an indirect participant in DTC, acting on behalf of such purchaser), such Participants and, in turn, the Agent may enter SDFS deliver orders through DTC’s Participant Terminal System reversing the orders entered pursuant to Settlement Procedures “H” and “I”, respectively.  Thereafter, BNYM will deliver the withdrawal message and take the related actions described in the preceding paragraph.
 
 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon any failure to settle with respect to a Book-Entry Note, Book-Entry Warrant or Book-Entry Unit, DTC may take any actions in accordance with its SDFS operating procedures then in effect.

J.P. Morgan Securities LLC
JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association
UBS Financial Services Inc.
Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas
Key Bank, National Association
First Hawaiian Bank, N.A.
(collectively, the “Agents”)
 
Ladies and Gentlemen:
 
We have audited:
 
1.
the consolidated financial statements of JPMorgan Chase & Co. and its subsidiaries (the “Firm”) as of December 31, [    ] and [    ] and for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, [    ] included in the Firm’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, [    ] (the “Form 10-K”) and
 
2.
the effectiveness of the Firm’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, [    ].
 
The consolidated financial statements referred to above are all incorporated by reference in the registration statement (No. [           ]) on Form S-3 filed by the Firm under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”); our report with respect thereto is also incorporated by reference in such registration statement.  Such registration statement, together with the Prospectus dated [           ] and the Prospectus Supplement dated [           ] relating to the Global Medium-Term Notes, Series E, Global Warrants, Series E, and Global Units, Series E, are herein collectively referred to as the “Registration Statement.”  Also, we have reviewed the unaudited interim consolidated financial information of the Firm as of [           ], for the [    ]-month period ended [           ] and [           ], as indicated in our report dated [           ], which is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement.  In connection with our review of the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of the Firm, incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, as described in our report dated [           ], which is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, and inquiries of certain officials of the Firm who have responsibility for financial and accounting matters, nothing came to our attention that caused us to believe such unaudited interim financial statements do not comply as to form, in all material respects with the applicable accounting requirements of the
 
 
E-1

 
 
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) as it applies to Form 10-Q and the related rules and regulations adopted by the SEC.
 
In connection with the Registration Statement:
 
1.
We are an independent registered public accounting firm with respect to the Firm within the meaning of the Act and the applicable rules and regulations thereunder adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (the “PCAOB”).
 
2.
In our opinion, the Firm’s consolidated financial statements audited by us and incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement comply as to form in all material respects with the applicable accounting requirements of the Act and the Exchange Act and the related rules and regulations adopted by the SEC.
 
3.
We have not audited any financial statements of the Firm as of any date or for any period subsequent to December 31, [    ]; although we have conducted an audit for the year ended December 31, [    ], the purpose (and therefore the scope) of such audit was to enable us to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, [    ] and for the year then ended, but not on the financial statements for any interim period within that year.  Therefore, we are unable to and do not express any opinion on the unaudited consolidated balance sheets and the unaudited consolidated statements of income, of cash flows and of changes in stockholders’ equity and comprehensive income included in the Firm’s quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended [                 ] incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, or on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows as of any date or for any period subsequent to December 31, [    ].  Also, we have not audited the Firm’s internal control over financial reporting as of any date subsequent to December 31, [    ].  Therefore, we do not express any opinion on the Firm’s internal control over financial reporting as of any date subsequent to December 31, [    ].
 
4.
For purposes of this letter, we have read the minutes of the [    ] meetings of the Board of Directors and the Audit Committee of the Firm, as set forth in the minute books as of [                 ], officials of the Firm having advised us that the minutes of all such meetings through that date were set forth therein (except for the minutes of the [                 ] [Audit Committee meeting and the] [                 ] Board of Directors meeting which were not approved in final form, but for which the meeting agendas were provided to us.  Officials of the Firm have represented that such agendas include all substantive actions taken at such meetings).  We have carried out other procedures to  [                 ] (our work did not extend to the period from  [                 ] to  [                 ], inclusive) as follows:
 
 
a.
With respect to the [       ]-month period from [                  ] to [                 ], we have:
 
 
E-2

 
 
 
(i)
read the unaudited consolidated financial data of the Firm for the [month] of both [       ] and [       ] furnished to us by the Firm and agreed the amounts contained therein with the Firm’s accounting records.  Officials of the Firm have advised us that no financial data as of any date or for any period subsequent to [       ] were available; and
 
 
(ii)
inquired of certain officials of the Firm who have responsibility for financial and accounting matters as to whether the unaudited consolidated financial data referred to in b(i) above are stated on a basis substantially consistent with that of the audited consolidated financial statements incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement.
 
The foregoing procedures do not constitute an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB.  Also, they would not necessarily reveal matters of significance with respect to the comments in the following paragraph.  Accordingly, we make no representations as to the sufficiency of the foregoing procedures for your purposes.
 
5.
Nothing came to our attention as a result of the foregoing procedures, however, that caused us to believe that:
 
 
a.
(i)
At [       ] there was any change in the common or preferred stock, increase in long-term debt, or decrease in total stockholders’ equity of the Firm on a consolidated basis as compared with the corresponding amounts shown in the [          ] unaudited consolidated balance sheets incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, or
 
 
(ii)
for the [       ]-month period from [               ] to [               ], there was any decrease, as compared with the corresponding period in the preceding year, in consolidated net income of the Firm, except in all instances for changes, increases or decreases that the Registration Statement discloses have occurred or may occur [and except that the unaudited consolidated financial data as of [               ], which were furnished to us by the Firm, showed the following changes:]
 
[(in millions)

b.
At [           ] there was any change in the common or preferred stock, increase in long-term debt or decrease in total stockholders’ equity of the Firm as compared with the corresponding amounts shown in the [           ] unaudited consolidated balance sheets incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, except for:
 
 
 
[                ]
 
 
c.
For the period from [           ] to [           ], there was any decrease, as compared with the corresponding period in the preceding year, in consolidated net income.
