JPMorgan Chase & Co.
Reverse Exchangeable Notes Linked to the iShares® FTSE/Xinhua China 25 Index Fund

General

JPMorgan Chase & Co. may offer and sell reverse exchangeable notes linked to the iShares® FTSE/Xinhua China 25 Index Fund, which we refer to as the Index Fund, from time to time. This product supplement no. 72-1 describes the terms that will apply generally to the reverse exchangeable notes, and supplements the terms described in the accompanying prospectus supplement and prospectus. A separate term sheet or pricing supplement, as the case may be, will describe terms that apply specifically to the notes, including any changes to the terms specified below. We refer to such term sheets and pricing supplements generally as terms supplements. If the terms described in the relevant terms supplement are inconsistent with those described herein or in the accompanying prospectus supplement or prospectus, the terms described in the relevant terms supplement shall control.
The notes are the senior unsecured obligations of JPMorgan Chase & Co.
We will pay coupon payments at the coupon rate specified in the relevant terms supplement. However, the notes do not guarantee any return of principal at maturity. Instead, the payment at maturity will be based on the performance of the Index Fund during the term of the notes. In addition, under the circumstances described below, for each note, rather than the principal amount of the notes you may receive at maturity, in addition to any accrued and unpaid coupon, the Cash Value (as defined below) based on the Final Share Price of one share of the Index Fund. The Cash Value will be less than the principal amount of your notes and may be zero.
For important information about tax consequences, see “Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” beginning on page PS-28.
Minimum denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof, unless otherwise specified in the relevant terms supplement.
Neither the issuer of the Index Fund nor the issuers of the equity securities held by the Index Fund are affiliates of ours and none of them are receiving any of the proceeds of any note offering. The obligations under the notes are our obligations only and neither the issuer of the Index Fund nor the issuers of the equity securities held by the Index Fund will have any obligations of any kind under the notes. Investing in the notes is not equivalent to investing in the Index Fund or the FTSE/Xinhua China 25 Index, which we refer as the Underlying Index, or any of the equity securities included in the Underlying Index.
The notes will not be listed on any securities exchange unless otherwise specified in the relevant terms supplement.

Key Terms

Index Fund: iShares® FTSE/Xinhua China 25 Index Fund. See “The iShares® FTSE/Xinhua China 25 Index Fund.” The Index Fund may be changed in certain circumstances. See “General Terms of Notes — Alternative Calculation of Price and Closing Price.”

Underlying Index: FTSE/Xinhua China 25 Index. See “The FTSE/Xinhua China 25 Index.” The Underlying Index may be changed in certain circumstances. See “General Terms of Notes — Alternative Calculation of Price and Closing Price.”

Payment at Maturity: Payment at maturity will be based on the performance of the Index Fund.

You will receive $1,000 for each $1,000 principal amount note, plus any accrued and unpaid coupon payments at maturity, unless:

  (i) the Final Share Price is less than the Initial Share Price; and

  (ii)(a) for notes with continuous Index Fund monitoring, at any time during the Monitoring Period, the price of one share of the Index Fund quoted on the Relevant Exchange has declined, as compared to the Initial Share Price, by more than the Protection Amount, or (b) for notes with daily Index Fund monitoring, on any day during the Monitoring Period, the closing price of one share of the Index Fund has declined, as compared to the Initial Share Price, by more than the Protection Amount.

  The relevant terms supplement will specify whether continuous or daily Index Fund monitoring is applicable to the notes or, alternatively, may specify another method for monitoring the shares of the Index Fund. For example, the relevant terms supplement may specify weekly Index Fund monitoring for purposes of determining whether the price of one share of the Index Fund has declined from the Initial Share Price by more than the Protection Amount.

  If the conditions described in (i) and (ii) are both satisfied, at maturity you will receive, instead of the principal amount of your notes, the Cash Value, plus accrued and unpaid coupon payments. The Cash Value will be less than the principal amount of your notes and may be zero. Accordingly, you may lose some or all of your principal if you invest in the notes.

Monitoring Period: As specified in the relevant terms supplement. For example, the terms supplement may specify that the Monitoring Period consists of each day from, but excluding, the pricing date to, and including, the Final Valuation Date or the final Averaging Date.

Cash Value: The amount in cash equal to the product of (1) $1,000 divided by the Initial Share Price and (2) the Final Share Price. The Initial Share Price, and therefore the Cash Value, is subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain corporate events affecting the Index Fund. See “General Terms of Notes — Anti-dilution Adjustments.”

Protection Amount: As specified in the relevant terms supplement. For example, the relevant terms supplement may specify that the Protection Amount is equal to 20% of the Initial Share Price.

Initial Share Price: The closing price of one share of the Index Fund on the pricing date, or such other date or dates as specified in the relevant terms supplement, divided by the Share Adjustment Factor.

Final Share Price: The closing price of one share of the Index Fund on the Final Valuation Date, or the arithmetic average of the closing prices of one share of the Index Fund on each of the Averaging Dates or such other date or dates as specified in the relevant terms supplement.

Share Adjustment Factor: Unless otherwise specified in the terms supplement, the Share Adjustment Factor will be set initially at 1.0, subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain corporate events affecting the Index Fund. See “General Terms of Notes — Anti-dilution Adjustments.”

Valuation Date(s): The Final Share Price will be determined either on a single date, which we refer to as the Final Valuation Date, or over several dates, each of which we refer to as an Averaging Date, as specified in the relevant terms supplement. We refer to such dates generally as Valuation Dates in this product supplement. Any Valuation Date is subject to postponement in the event of certain market disruption events and as described under “Description of Notes — Payment at Maturity.” Maturity Date: As specified in the relevant terms supplement. The maturity date of the notes is subject to postponement in the event of certain market disruption events and as described under “Description of Notes — Payment at Maturity.”

Coupon Payment Dates: As specified in the relevant terms supplement.

Investing in the Reverse Exchangeable Notes Linked to the iShares® FTSE/Xinhua China 25 Index Fund involves a number of risks. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page PS-6.

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of the notes or passed upon the accuracy or the adequacy of this product supplement no. 72-1, the accompanying prospectus supplement and prospectus, or any related terms supplement. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

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

DESCRIPTION OF NOTES

        The following description of the terms of the notes supplements the description of the general terms of the debt securities set forth under the headings “Description of Notes” in the accompanying prospectus supplement and “Description of Debt Securities”in the accompanying prospectus. A separate terms supplement will describe the terms that apply specifically to the notes, including any changes to the terms specified below. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this product supplement no. 72-1 have the meanings assigned in the accompanying prospectus supplement, prospectus and the relevant terms supplement. The term “note” refers to each $1,000 principal amount of our Reverse Exchangeable Notes linked to the iShares® FTSE/Xinhua China 25 Index Fund.

General

        The Reverse Exchangeable Notes are senior unsecured obligations of JPMorgan Chase & Co. that are linked to the iShares® FTSE/Xinhua China 25 Index Fund. The notes are a series of securities referred to in the accompanying prospectus supplement, prospectus and the relevant terms supplement. The notes will be issued by JPMorgan Chase & Co. under an indenture dated May 25, 2001, as may be amended or supplemented from time to time, between us and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas (formerly Bankers Trust Company), as trustee.

        The notes offer a higher coupon rate than the current dividend yield on the Index Fund or than the yield that we believe would be payable on a conventional debt security with the same maturity issued by us or an issuer with a comparable credit rating. However, the notes do not guarantee any return of principal at maturity; therefore, you must be aware of the risk that you may lose some or all of the principal amount of your notes at maturity. Regardless of whether you receive at maturity your principal amount or the Cash Value (as described under “— Payment at Maturity”), you will be entitled to periodic coupon payments on the principal amount of your notes as specified in the relevant terms supplement.

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

        The notes are our unsecured and unsubordinated obligations and will rank pari passu with all of our other unsecured and unsubordinated obligations.

        The notes will be issued in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof, unless otherwise specified in the relevant terms supplement. The principal amount and issue price of each note is $1,000, unless otherwise specified in the relevant terms supplement. The notes will be represented by one or more permanent global notes registered in the name of DTC or its nominee, as described under “Description of Notes — Forms of Notes” in the prospectus supplement and “Forms of Securities — Global Securities” in the prospectus.

        The specific terms of the notes will be described in the relevant terms supplement accompanying this product supplement no. 72-1. The terms described in that document supplement those described herein and in the accompanying prospectus and prospectus supplement. If the terms described in the relevant terms supplement are inconsistent with those described herein or in the accompanying prospectus or prospectus supplement, the terms described in the relevant terms supplement shall control.

Payment at Maturity

        Your principal is protected only under certain circumstances. At maturity, you will receive $1,000 for each $1,000 principal amount note, plus any accrued and unpaid coupon payments at maturity unless:

  (i) the Final Share Price is less than the Initial Share Price; and

  (ii) (a) for notes with continuous Index Fund monitoring, at any time during the Monitoring Period, the price of one share of the Index Fund quoted on the Relevant Exchange has declined, as


 
  PS-1 


  compared to the Initial Share Price, by more than the Protection Amount, or (b) for notes with daily Index Fund monitoring, on any day during the Monitoring Period, the closing price of one share of the Index Fund has declined, as compared to the Initial Share Price, by more than the Protection Amount.

        The relevant terms supplement will specify whether continuous or daily Index Fund monitoring is applicable to the notes or, alternatively, may specify another method for monitoring the shares of the Index Fund. For example, the relevant terms supplement may specify weekly Index Fund monitoring for purposes of determining whether the price of one share of the Index Fund has declined from the Initial Share Price by more than the Protection Amount.

        If the conditions described in (i) and (ii) are both satisfied, at maturity you will receive, instead of the principal amount of your notes, the Cash Value, plus accrued and unpaid coupon payments. The Cash Value will be less than the principal amount of your notes and may be zero. Accordingly, you may lose some or all of your principal if you invest in the notes. See “Risk Factors” for further information.

        The “Protection Amount” shall be specified in the relevant terms supplement. For example, the relevant terms supplement may specify that the Protection Amount is equal to 20% of the Initial Share Price.

        Unless otherwise specified in the applicable terms supplement, the “Cash Value” shall be the amount in cash equal to the product of (1) $1,000 divided by the Initial Share Price and (2) the Final Share Price. The Initial Share Price, and therefore the Cash Value, is subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain corporate events affecting the Index Fund. See “General Terms of Notes — Anti-dilution Adjustments.”

        Unless otherwise specified in the applicable terms supplement, “Initial Share Price” means the closing price of one share of the Index Fund on the pricing date, divided by the Share Adjustment Factor.

        Unless otherwise specified in the applicable terms supplement, the “Share Adjustment Factor” shall be set initially at 1.0, subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain corporate events affecting the Index Fund. See “General Terms of Notes — Anti-dilution Adjustments.”

        Unless otherwise specified in the applicable terms supplement, “Final Share Price” means the closing price of one share of the Index Fund on the Final Valuation Date or the arithmetic average of the closing prices of one share of the Index Fund on each of the Averaging Dates or such other date or dates as specified in the applicable terms supplement. The relevant terms supplement will specify the manner in which the Final Share Price is determined.

        The “Monitoring Period” shall be specified in the relevant terms supplement. For example, the relevant terms supplement may specify that the Monitoring Period consists of each day from, but excluding, the pricing date to, and including, the Final Valuation Date or the final Averaging Date.

        Unless otherwise specified in the applicable terms supplement, “pricing date” means the day we price the notes for initial sale to the public.

        “Relevant Exchange” means the primary exchange or market for trading for the shares of the Index Fund (or any successor index fund) or any security (or any combination thereof) then included in the Underlying Index (or any underlying index related to the successor index fund).

        Unless otherwise specified in the applicable terms supplement, the “closing price” of one share of the Index Fund (or any successor index fund or one unit of any other security for which a closing price must be determined) on any trading day means:

if the Index Fund (or any such successor index fund or such other security) is listed or admitted to trading on a national securities exchange, the last reported sale price, regular way, of the principal trading session on such day on the principal United States securities exchange

 
  PS-2 

  registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), on which the Index Fund (or any such successor index fund or such other security) is listed or admitted to trading;
if the Index Fund (or any such successor index fund or such security) is listed or admitted to trading on any national securities exchange but the last reported sale price is not available pursuant to the preceding bullet point, the last reported sale price of the principal trading session on the over-the-counter market as reported on the Nasdaq National Market or the OTC Bulletin Board Service (the “OTC Bulletin Board”) operated by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (the “NASD”) on such day;
if the Index Fund (or any such successor index fund or such other security) is not listed or admitted to trading on any national securities exchange but is included in the OTC Bulletin Board, the last reported sale price of the principal trading session on the OTC Bulletin Board on such day; or
if the Index Fund (or any such successor index fund) is de-listed, liquidated or otherwise terminated, the closing price calculated pursuant to the alternative methods of calculation of price described under “General Terms of Notes — Alternate Calculation of Price and Closing Price”; or
if, because of a market disruption event (as defined under “General Terms of Notes — Market Disruption Events”) or otherwise, the last reported sale price for the Index Fund (or any such successor index fund or such other security) is not available pursuant to the preceding bullet points, the mean, as determined by the calculation agent, of the bid prices for the shares of the Index Fund (or any such successor index fund or such other security) obtained from as many recognized dealers in such security, but not exceeding three, as will make such bid prices available to the calculation agent. Bids of any our affiliates may be included in the calculation of such mean, but only to the extent that any such bid is not the highest or the lowest of the bids obtained,

in each case subject to the provisions of “General Terms of Notes — Alternate Calculation of Price and Closing Price.” The term OTC Bulletin Board will include any successor service thereto.

        Unless otherwise specified in the applicable terms supplement, the “price”of one share of the Index Fund (or any successor index fund or one unit of any other security for which a price must be determined) on any trading day means:

if the Index Fund (or any such successor index fund or such other security) is listed or admitted to trading on a national securities exchange, the highest intraday bid price on such day on the principal United States securities exchange registered under the Exchange Act, on which the Index Fund (or any such successor index fund or such other security) is listed or admitted to trading;
if the Index Fund (or any such successor index fund or such other security) is not listed or admitted to trading on any national securities exchange but is included in the OTC Bulletin Board, the highest reported bid price reported on the OTC Bulletin Board operated by the NASD on such day;
if the Index Fund (or any such successor index fund) is de-listed, liquidated or otherwise terminated, the price calculated pursuant to the alternative methods of calculation of price described under “General Terms of Notes — Alternate Calculation of Price and Closing Price”; or
if a bid price is not available pursuant to the preceding bullet points, the mean, as determined by the calculation agent, of the bid prices for the shares of the Index Fund (or any such successor index fund or such other security) obtained from as many recognized dealers in such security, but not exceeding three, as will make such bid prices available to the calculation

 
  PS-3 

  agent. Bids of any of our affiliates may be included in the calculation of such mean, but only to the extent that any such bid is not the highest of the bids obtained,

in each case subject to the provisions of “General Terms of Notes — Alternate Calculation of Price and Closing Price.” The term OTC Bulletin Board will include any successor service thereto.

        Unless otherwise specified in the applicable terms supplement, a “trading day” is a day, as determined by the calculation agent, on which trading is generally conducted on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”), the American Stock Exchange LLC (the “AMEX”), the NASDAQ Stock Market, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange Inc., the Chicago Board Options Exchange, Incorporated and in the over-the-counter market for equity securities in the United States.

        Unless otherwise specified in the applicable terms supplement, a “business day” is any day other than a day on which banking institutions in The City of New York are authorized or required by law, regulation or executive order to close or a day on which transactions in dollars are not conducted.

        The “Valuation Date(s)” will be a single date, which we refer to as the Final Valuation Date, or several dates, each of which we refer to as an Averaging Date, and any such date is subject to adjustment. If a Valuation Date is not a trading day or if there is a market disruption event on such day, the applicable Valuation Date will be postponed to the immediately succeeding trading day during which no market disruption event shall have occurred or be continuing. In no event, however, shall any Valuation Date be postponed more than ten business days following the date originally scheduled to be such Valuation Date. If the tenth business day following the date originally scheduled to be the applicable Valuation Date is not a trading day, or if there is a market disruption event on such date, the closing price of one share of the Index Fund on such Valuation Date shall be deemed to be the closing price of one share of the Index Fund last in effect prior to commencement of the market disruption event (or prior to the non-trading day).

        The maturity date will be set forth in the relevant terms supplement. If the scheduled maturity date (as specified in the applicable terms supplement) is not a business day, then the maturity date will be the next succeeding business day following such scheduled maturity date. If, due to a market disruption event or otherwise, the Final Valuation Date is postponed so that it falls less than three business days prior to the scheduled maturity date, the maturity date will be the third business day following the Final Valuation Date, as postponed, unless otherwise specified in the applicable terms supplement. We describe market disruption events under “General Terms of Notes — Market Disruption Events.”

        We will irrevocably deposit with The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) no later than the opening of business on the applicable date or dates funds sufficient to make payments of the amount payable at maturity and on the Coupon Payment Dates, if any, with respect to the notes on such date. We will give DTC irrevocable instructions and authority to pay such amount to the holders of the notes entitled thereto.

        Subject to the foregoing and to applicable law (including, without limitation, United States federal laws), we or our affiliates may, at any time and from time to time, purchase outstanding notes by tender, in open market or by private agreement.

Coupon Payments

        For each coupon period, unless otherwise specified in the terms supplement, for each $1,000 principal amount note, the coupon payment for each coupon period will be calculated as follows:

$1,000 x coupon rate x (number of days in the coupon period / 360),

where the number of days will be calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days with twelve months of thirty days each.

        Coupon payments will be made at a rate per annum specified in the applicable terms supplement. Coupon payments will accrue from, and including, the issue date of the notes to, but excluding, the

 

  PS-4 

maturity date. Coupons will be paid in arrears on each Coupon Payment Date to, and including, the maturity date, to the holders of record at the close of business on the date 15 calendar days prior to that Coupon Payment Date, whether or not such fifteenth calendar day is a business day, unless otherwise specified in the relevant terms supplement. If the maturity date is adjusted as the result of a market disruption event, the coupon payment due on the maturity date will be made on the maturity date as adjusted, with the same force and effect as if the maturity date had not been adjusted, but no additional coupon payment will accrue or be payable as a result of the delayed payment.

        The “coupon rate” shall be specified in the relevant terms supplement.

        A “coupon period” is the period beginning on, and including, the issue date of the notes and ending on, but excluding, the first Coupon Payment Date, and each successive period beginning on, and including, a Coupon Payment Date and ending on, but excluding, the next succeeding Coupon Payment Date, or as specified in the relevant terms supplement.

        A “Coupon Payment Date” will be as specified in the relevant terms supplement, provided that no Coupon Payment Date shall be more than twelve months after the immediately prior Coupon Payment Date or issue date of the notes, as applicable. If any day on which a coupon payment or principal is due is not a business day, the payment will be made with the same force and effect on the next succeeding business day, but no additional interest will accrue as a result of the delayed payment, and the next Coupon Period will commence as if the payment had not been delayed.


 
  PS-5 

RISK FACTORS

        Your investment in the notes will involve certain risks. The notes pay coupon payments but do not guarantee any return of principal at maturity. Investing in the notes is not equivalent to investing directly in the Index Fund, the Underlying Index, or any of the stocks included in the Underlying Index. In addition, your investment in the notes entails other risks not associated with an investment in conventional debt securities. You should consider carefully the following discussion of risks before you decide that an investment in the notes is suitable for you.

Your investment in the notes may result in a loss.

        The notes do not guarantee any return of principal. Your return of principal is protected so long as the closing price (in the case of daily monitoring) or price (in the case of continuous monitoring) of the Index Fund during the Monitoring Period is not less than the Initial Share Price by more than the Protection Amount or the Final Share Price is not less than the Initial Share Price. If the Final Share Price declines from the Initial Share Price and the closing price (in the case of daily monitoring) or price (in the case of continuous monitoring) of one share of the Index Fund during the Monitoring Period has declined, as compared to the Initial Share Price, by more than the Protection Amount, you will receive at maturity the Cash Value rather than the principal amount of your notes. The Cash Value will be less than the principal amount of your notes and may be zero. Accordingly, you may lose the entire principal amount of your notes.

Because you will not benefit from any appreciation in the value of the Index Fund above the Initial Share Price, you will not receive a payment at maturity with a value greater than your principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid coupon payments.

        At maturity, you will receive a payment with a value no greater than the principal amount of your notes plus the final coupon payment, and the total payment you receive over the term of the notes will not exceed the principal amount of your notes plus the coupon payments paid during the term of the notes, regardless of any appreciation in the value of the Index Fund. Even if the Final Share Price exceeds the Initial Share Price, you will receive only the principal amount of the notes.

Your return on your investment in the notes will be limited to the coupon payments on the notes.

        The only return that you will receive on your investment in the notes will be the coupon payments specified in the relevant terms supplement.

You are exposed to the closing price risk of the Index Fund.

        You cannot predict the future performance of the Index Fund based on its historical performance. The price of the Index Fund may be below the Initial Share Price by more than the Protection Amount during the Monitoring Period even though the Index Fund has not experienced such a price decrease in the past.

You will have no ownership rights in the equity securities held by the Index Fund.

        Investing in the notes is not equivalent to investing in the Index Fund. As an investor in the notes, you will not have any ownership interest or rights in the Index Fund, such as voting rights, dividend payments or other distributions.

We have no affiliation with any of the issuer of the Index Fund nor the issuers of the equity securities held by the Index Fund.

        Neither the issuer of the Index Fund nor the issuers of the equity securities held by the Index Fund are affiliates of ours or are involved in any of our offerings of notes pursuant to this product supplement in any way. Consequently, we have no control of the actions of either the issuer of the Index Fund or the issuers of the equity securities held by Index Fund, including any corporate actions


 
  PS-6 

of the type that would require the calculation agent to adjust the payment to you at maturity. None of the issuer of the Index Fund or the issuers of the equity securities held by the Index Fund has any obligation to consider your interest as an investor in the notes in taking any corporate actions that might affect the value of your notes. None of the money you pay for the notes will go to the Index Fund.

        In addition, as we are not affiliated with the Index Fund, we do not assume any responsibility for the adequacy of the information about the Index Fund or the Underlying Index contained in this product supplement, any terms supplement or in any of the Index Fund’s publicly available filings. We are not responsible for such Index Fund’s public disclosure of information on itself or the Underlying Index, whether contained in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) or otherwise. As an investor in the notes, you should make your own investigation into the Index Fund and the Underlying Index.

Your return on the notes will not reflect dividends on the equity securities held by the Index Fund.

        Your return on the notes will not reflect the return you would realize if you actually owned the equity securities held by the Index Fund and received the dividends paid on those equity securities. This is because the calculation agent will calculate the amount payable to you at maturity by reference to the Final Share Price and the Protection Amount. The Final Share Price reflects the prices of the equity securities held by the Index Fund without taking into consideration the value of dividends paid on those equity securities.

The closing price of the Index Fund on the pricing date may be significantly higher than the historical average trading price for the Index Fund.

        If the closing price (in the case of daily monitoring) or price (in the case of continuous monitoring) of the Index Fund is below the Initial Share Price by more than the Protection Amount, one of the two triggers for receiving the Cash Value will have occurred. The reference price for determining whether such trigger has occurred is, unless otherwise specified in the relevant terms supplement, the closing price of the Index Fund on the pricing date (which we refer to as the Initial Share Price). The closing price of the Index Fund on the pricing date may be significantly higher than the historical average trading price for the Index Fund, which could increase the likelihood of the occurrence of such trigger. In addition, on the pricing date, stock prices generally in the market may be significantly higher than historical averages, which could increase the likelihood of subsequent declines in stock prices during the Monitoring Period.

The notes are designed to be held to maturity.

        The notes are not designed to be short-term trading instruments. The price at which you will be able to sell your notes prior to maturity, if at all, may be at a substantial discount from the principal amount of the notes, even in cases where the Index Fund has appreciated since the date of the issuance of notes. The potential returns described in any terms supplement assume that your notes are held to maturity.

Secondary trading may be limited.

        Unless otherwise specified in the relevant terms supplement, the notes will not be listed on any securities exchange. There may be little or no secondary market for the notes. Even if there is a secondary market for the notes, it may not provide enough liquidity to allow you to trade or sell the notes easily.

        J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. may act as a market maker for the notes, but is not required to do so. Because we do not expect that other market makers will participate significantly in the 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 J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. is willing to buy the notes. If at any time J.P. Morgan


 
  PS-7 

Securities Inc. or another agent does not act as a market maker, it is likely that there would be little or no secondary market for the notes.

Prior to maturity, the value of the notes may be influenced by many unpredictable factors.

        Many economic and market factors will influence the value of the notes. We expect that, generally, the price of the shares of the Index Fund and interest rates on any day will affect the value of the notes more than any other single factor. However, you should not expect the value of the notes in the secondary market to vary in proportion to changes in the prices of the shares of the Index Fund. The value of the notes will be affected by a number of other factors that may either offset or magnify each other, including:

whether one share of the Index Fund closes below the Initial Share Price by more than the Protection Amount during the Monitoring Period;
the dividend rate paid on the equity securities held by the Index Fund (while not paid to holders of the notes, dividend payments on the equity securities held by the Index Fund may influence the market price of the shares of the Index Fund and the market value of options on the Index Fund and therefore affect the market value of the notes);
supply and demand for the notes, including inventory positions of J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. or any other market maker;
the expected frequency and magnitude of changes in the market price of the shares of the Index Fund (volatility);
economic, financial, political and regulatory or judicial events that affect the equity securities held by the Index Fund or stock markets generally;
the exchange rate and volatility of the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the Hong Kong dollar;
the occurrence of certain events affecting the Index Fund that may or may not require an adjustment to the Share Adjustment Factor;
interest and yield rates in the market generally;
the time remaining to the maturity of the notes; and
our creditworthiness, including actual or anticipated changes in our credit ratings.

        Some or all of these factors may influence the price that you will receive if you choose to sell your notes prior to maturity. The impact of any of the factors set forth above may enhance or offset some or all of any change resulting from another factor or factors. You cannot predict the future performance of the Index Fund based on its historical performance.

        While it is possible that the notes could trade above their principal amount prior to maturity, the likelihood of such an increase is limited by market factors and the fact that the amount payable at maturity will not exceed 100% of the principal amount of the notes. Even if the notes did trade above their principal amount prior to maturity, the only way to realize such a market premium would be to sell your notes in a secondary market transaction, if such a transaction were available. Moreover, if you sell your notes prior to maturity, you may have to sell them at a substantial discount from their principal amount if the market price of one share of the Index Fund is at, below or not sufficiently above, the Initial Share Price.


  PS-8 

The inclusion in the original issue price of each agent’s commission and the cost of hedging our obligations under the notes through one or more of our affiliates is likely to adversely affect the value of the notes prior to maturity.

        While the payment at maturity will be based on the principal amount of your notes, if any, the original issue price of the notes includes each agent’s commission and the cost of hedging our obligations under the notes through one or more of our affiliates. Such cost includes our affiliates’ expected cost of providing such hedge, as well as the profit our affiliates expect to realize in consideration for assuming the risks inherent in providing such hedge. As a result, assuming no change in market conditions or any other relevant factors, the price, if any, at which J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. will be willing to purchase notes from you in secondary market transactions, if at all, will likely be lower than the original issue price. In addition, any such prices may differ from values determined by pricing models used by J.P. Morgan Securities Inc., as a result of such compensation or other transaction costs.

If the market value of the shares of the Index Fund changes, the market value of your notes may not change in the same manner.

        Owning the notes is not the same as owning shares of the Index Fund. Accordingly, changes in the market value of one share of the Index Fund may not result in a comparable change in the market value of the notes. If the closing price of one share of the Index Fund on any trading day increases above the Initial Share Price, the value of the notes may not increase comparably, if at all. It is also possible for the value of the shares of the Index Fund to increase moderately while the value of the notes declines.

        When the closing price (in the case of daily monitoring) or price (in the case of continuous monitoring) of one share of the Index Fund on any trading day declines from the Initial Share Price by close to the Protection Amount for the first time, we expect the market value of the notes to decline to reflect, among a number of other factors, that your payment at maturity is more likely to be less than the principal amount of your notes.

The notes are subject to currency exchange risk.

        Because the prices of the equity securities held by the Index Fund are converted into U.S. dollars for the purposes of calculating the net asset value of the Index Fund, holders of the notes will be exposed to currency exchange rate risk with respect to Hong Kong dollars. An investor’s net exposure will depend on the extent to which the Hong Kong dollar strengthens or weakens against the U.S. dollar. If, taking into account such weighting, the U.S. dollar strengthens against the Hong Kong dollar, the net asset value of the Index Fund will be adversely affected and the amount we pay in respect of the notes on the maturity date, if any, may be reduced.

        Of particular importance to potential currency exchange risk are:

existing and expected rates of inflation;
existing and expected interest rate levels;
the balance of payments; and
the extent of governmental surpluses or deficits in China and the United States of America.

        All of these factors are in turn sensitive to the monetary, fiscal and trade policies pursued by China and the United States and other countries important to international trade and finance. See “The FTSE/Xinhua China 25 Index.”

 

  PS-9 

Changes in the volatility of exchange rates, and the correlation between those rates and the net asset value of the Index Fund are likely to affect the market value of the notes.

        The exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the Hong Kong dollar refers to a foreign exchange spot rate that measures the relative values of two currencies — the currency in which an equity security held by the index Fund is denominated and the U.S. dollar. This exchange rate reflects the amount of the particular currency in which an equity security held by the index Fund is denominated that can be purchased for one U.S. dollar and thus increases when the U.S. dollar appreciates relative to Hong Kong dollar. The volatility of the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the Hong Kong dollar refers to the size and frequency of that exchange rate.

        Because the net asset value of the Index Fund is calculated, in part, by converting the closing prices of the equity securities held by the Index fund into U.S. dollars, the volatility of the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the Hong Kong dollar could affect the market value of the notes.

        The correlation of the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the Hong Kong dollar and the net asset value of the Index Fund refers to the relationship between the percentage changes in that exchange rate and the percentage changes in the net asset value of the Index Fund. The direction of the correlation (whether positive or negative) and the extent of the correlation between the percentage changes in the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the Hong Kong dollar and the percentage changes in the net asset value of the Index Fund could affect the value of the notes.

An investment in the notes is subject to risks associated with non-U.S. securities markets.

        The equity securities held by the Index Fund have been issued by non-U.S. companies. Investments in securities indexed to the value of such non-U.S. equity securities involves risks associated with the securities markets in those countries where the relevant non-U.S. equity securities are traded, including risks of markets volatility, governmental intervention in those markets and cross shareholdings in companies in certain countries. Also, there is generally less publicly available information about companies in some of these jurisdictions than about U.S. companies that are subject to the reporting requirements of the SEC and non-U.S. companies are generally subject to accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards and requirements, and securities trading rules different from those applicable to U.S. reporting companies.

        The prices of securities in non-U.S. markets may be affected by political, economic, financial and social factors in such markets, including changes in a country’s government, economic and fiscal policies, currency exchange laws or other laws or restrictions. Moreover, the economies of such countries may differ favorably or unfavorably from the economy of the United States in such respects as growth of gross national product, rate of inflation, capital reinvestment, resources and self sufficiency. Such countries may be subjected to different and, in some cases, more adverse economic environments.

        The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Ltd. (“HKSE”) on which the equity securities included in the Underlying Index are traded is not as large as the U.S. securities markets and have substantially less trading volume, resulting in a lack of liquidity and high price volatility relative to the U.S. securities markets. There is also a high concentration of market capitalization and trading volume in small number of issuers representing a limited number of industries, as well as a high concentration of certain types of investors (including investment funds and other institutional investors) in the HKSE. As a result, the HKSE may be subject to significantly greater risk and price volatility than the U.S. securities markets.

China is one of the largest global emerging markets.

        The risks of investing in emerging markets are typically greater than those of investing in developed countries where political, economic and social structures may be much more established and efficient. Emerging markets often lack the market depth and breadth and operational efficiency of developed markets. The companies in which the Index Fund invests may be held to lower disclosure,


 
  PS-10 

corporate governance, accounting and reporting standards than companies in more developed markets. In addition, some of the securities held by the Index Fund may be subject to higher transaction and other costs, foreign ownership limits, withholding or other taxes or may have liquidity issues that make securities more difficult to sell at reasonable prices. These factors may increase the volatility, and hence the risk, of an investment in the Index Fund.

        While China is transitioning from a government-controlled to a market-driven economy, it still struggles with political and social uncertainty, substantial government involvement in the economy, conflict with Taiwan, and issues relating to the reunification with Hong Kong. China is also under pressure to change its currency standards. Although mainland China’s gross national product has grown in recent years, there can be no assurance this growth will continue.

There are risks associated with the Index Fund.

        The Index Fund has a limited operating history, having commenced trading in October 2004. Although its shares are listed for trading on the NYSE and a number of similar products have been traded on the NYSE for varying periods of time, there is no assurance that an active trading market will continue for the shares of the Index Fund or that there will be liquidity in the trading market.

        In addition, Barclays Global Fund Advisors (“BGFA”), is the Index Fund’s investment advisor. The Index Fund is subject to management risk, which is the risk that the BGFA’s investment strategy, the implementation of which is subject to a number of constraints, may not produce the intended results.

The correlation between the performance of the Index Fund and the performance of the Underlying Index may be imperfect.

        While the performance of the Index Fund is linked principally to the performance of the Underlying Index, the performance of the Index Fund is also generally linked in part to shares of other exchange traded funds because BGFA may invest up to 10% of the Index Fund’s assets in other iShares funds that seek to track the performance of equity securities of constituent countries of the FTSE/Xinhua China 25 Index. In addition, the Index Fund may invest in a representative sample of equity securities included in the Underlying Index and not hold all or substantially all of the equity securities included in the Underlying Index. Moreover, the Index Fund will reflect transaction costs and fees that are not included in the calculation of the Underlying Index. Finally, because the shares of the Index Fund are traded on the NYSE and are subject to market supply and investor demand, the market value of one share of the Index Fund may differ from the net asset value per share of the Index Fund.

        For all of the foregoing reasons, the performance of the Index Fund may not correlate perfectly with the performance of the Underlying Index. Because of this imperfect correlation, the return on the notes will not be the same as an investment directly in the Index Fund or in the Underlying Index or in the equity securities included in the Underlying Index, and will not be the same as a debt security with a payment at maturity linked to the performance of the Underlying Index.

The policies of BGFA for the Index Fund and changes that affect the Underlying Index could affect the value of the notes and the amount payable on the notes.

        The policies of BGFA concerning the calculation of the Index Fund’s net asset value, additions, deletions or substitutions of equity securities held by the Index Fund and manner in which changes affecting the Underlying Index are reflected in the Index Fund could affect the market price of the shares of the Index Fund and, therefore, affect the amount payable on the notes at maturity and the value of the notes before maturity. The amount payable on the notes and its value could also be affected if BGFA changes these policies, for example, by changing the manner in which it calculates the Index Fund’s net asset value, or if BGFA discontinues or suspends calculation or publication of the Index Fund’s net asset value, in which case it may become difficult to determine the value of the note.

        In addition, FTSE/Xinhua Index Limited (“FXI”) owns the Underlying Index and is responsible for the design and maintenance of the Underlying Index. The policies of FXI concerning the calculation of


 
  PS-11 

the Underlying Index, including decisions regarding the addition, deletion or substitution of the equity securities included in the Underlying Index, could affect the level of the Underlying Index and consequently could affect the market prices of the shares of the Index Fund and, therefore, affect the amount payable on the notes at maturity and the value of the note before maturity.

Anti-dilution protection is limited.

        The calculation agent will make adjustments to the Share Adjustment Factor, which will be set initially at 1.0, for certain adjustment events (as defined below) affecting the value of the shares of the Index Fund. The calculation agent is not required, however, to make such adjustments in response to all events that could affect the shares of the 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. See “General Terms of Notes — Anti-dilution Adjustments” for further information.

We or our affiliates may have adverse economic interests to the holders of the notes.

        J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. and other affiliates of ours trade the equity securities held by the Index Fund and included in the Underlying Index and other financial instruments related to the Index Fund, the Underlying Index and the equity securities included in the Underlying Index on a regular basis, for their accounts and for other accounts under their management. J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. and these affiliates may also issue or underwrite or assist unaffiliated entities in the issuance or underwriting of other securities or financial instruments with returns linked to the Index Fund or the Underlying Index. To the extent that we or one of our affiliates serves as issuer, agent or underwriter for such securities or financial instruments, our or their interest with respect to such products may be adverse to those of the holders of the notes. Any of these trading activities could potentially affect the performance of the Index Fund or the level of the Underlying Index and, accordingly, could affect the value of the notes and the amount payable to you at maturity, if any.

        We or our affiliates may currently or from time to time engage in business with companies whose equity securities are held by the Index Fund or included in the Underlying Index, including extending loans to, or making equity investments in, or providing advisory services to them, including merger and acquisition advisory services. In the course of this business, we or our affiliates may acquire non-public information about the companies, and we will not disclose any such information to you. In addition, one or more of our affiliates may publish research reports or otherwise express views about the companies whose equity securities are held by the Index Fund. Any prospective purchaser of notes should undertake an independent investigation of each company whose equity securities are included in the Index Fund as in its judgment is appropriate to make an informed decision with respect to an investment in the notes. We do not make any representation or warranty to any purchaser of a note with respect to any matters whatsoever relating to our business with companies whose equity securities are held by the Index Fund or included in the Underlying Index or future price movements of the Underlying Index.

        Additionally, we or one of our affiliates may serve as issuer, agent or underwriter for additional issuances of notes with returns linked or related to changes in the price of the shares of the Index Fund or the level of the Underlying Index or the price of the equity securities included in the Underlying Index. By introducing competing products into the marketplace in this manner, we or one or more of our affiliates could adversely affect the value of the notes.

        We may have hedged our obligations under the notes through certain affiliates, who would expect to make a profit on such hedge. Because hedging our obligations entails risk and may be influenced by market forces beyond our or our affiliates’ control, such hedging may result in a profit that is more or less than expected, or it may result in a loss.

        J.P. Morgan Securities Inc., one of our affiliates, will act as the calculation agent. The calculation agent will determine, among other things, the price of the shares of the Index Fund quoted on the Relevant Exchange or the closing price of the shares of the Index Fund on the Relevant Exchange on


 
  PS-12 

any day, as applicable, in each case during the Monitoring Period; the Share Adjustment Factor; anti-dilution adjustments; the Final Share Price; the amount of a coupon payment payable on any Coupon Payment Date and the amount we will pay you at maturity, as well as whether and how much the closing price or price, as applicable, of one share of the Index Fund during the Monitoring Period and the Final Share Price have declined from the Initial Share Price. The calculation agent will also be responsible for determining whether a market disruption event has occurred; which exchange traded fund will be substituted for the Index Fund (or successor index fund, if applicable) if the Index Fund (or successor index fund, if applicable) is de-listed, liquidated or otherwise terminated; whether the Underlying Index (or the underlying index related to a successor index fund, if applicable) has been changed in a material respect; whether the Index fund (or successor index fund, if applicable) has been modified so that the Index Fund (or successor index fund, if applicable) does not, in the opinion of the calculation agent, fairly represent the price of the Index Fund (or successor index fund, if applicable) had those modifications not been made; and, if the notes bear coupons, whether a day is a Coupon Payment Date. In performing these duties, J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. may have interests adverse to the interests of the holders of the notes, which may affect your return on the notes, particularly where J.P. Morgan Securities Inc., as the calculation agent, is entitled to exercise discretion.

Market disruptions may adversely affect your return.

        The calculation agent may, in its sole discretion, determine that the markets have been affected in a manner that prevents it from properly determining the Final Share Price and calculating the payment at maturity that we are required to pay you. These events may include disruptions or suspensions of trading in the markets as a whole. If the calculation agent, in its sole discretion, determines that any of these events prevents us or any of our affiliates from properly hedging our obligations under the notes, it is possible that a Valuation Date and the maturity date will be postponed and your return will be adversely affected. See “General Terms of Notes — Market Disruption Events.”

The tax consequences of an investment in the notes are uncertain.

        Investors should consider the tax consequences of investing in the notes. No statutory, judicial or administrative authority directly addresses the characterization of the notes or instruments similar to the notes for United States federal income tax purposes. As a result, significant aspects of the United States federal income tax consequences of an investment in the notes are not certain. We are not requesting any ruling from the Internal Revenue Service with respect to the notes and cannot assure you that the Internal Revenue Service will agree with the treatment described in this document. The Internal Revenue Service could assert other characterizations that could affect the timing, amount and character of income or deductions. We intend to treat, and by purchasing a note, for all tax purposes you agree to treat, the notes as cash-settled financial contracts, rather than as debt instruments. We intend to report any coupon payments as ordinary income to you, but you should consult your own tax advisor concerning the alternative characterizations. See “Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” in this product supplement no. 72-1.

JPMorgan Chase & Co. employees holding the notes must comply with policies that limit their ability to trade the notes and may affect the value of their notes.

        If you are an employee of JPMorgan Chase & Co. or one of its affiliates, you may only acquire the notes for investment purposes and you must comply with all of our internal policies and procedures. Because these policies and procedures limit the dates and times that you may transact in the notes, you may not be able to purchase any notes described in the relevant terms supplement from us and your ability to trade or sell any such notes in the secondary market may be limited.


 
  PS-13 

USE OF PROCEEDS

        Unless otherwise specified in the relevant terms supplement, the net proceeds we receive from the sale of the notes will be used for general corporate purposes and, in part, by us or by one or more of our affiliates in connection with hedging our obligations under the notes. The original issue price of the notes includes each agent’s commissions (as shown on the cover page of the relevant terms supplement) paid with respect to the notes. Unless otherwise specified in the relevant terms supplement, these commissions will include the reimbursement of certain issuance costs and the estimated cost of hedging our obligations under the notes. The estimated cost of hedging includes the projected profit that our affiliates expect to realize in consideration for assuming the risks inherent in hedging our obligations under the notes. Because hedging our obligations entails risk and may be influenced by market forces beyond our or our affiliates’ control, the actual cost of such hedging may result in a profit that is more or less than expected, or could result in a loss. See also “Use of Proceeds” in the accompanying prospectus.

        On or prior to the date of the relevant terms supplement, we, through our affiliates or others, may hedge some or all of our anticipated exposure in connection with the notes by taking positions in the Index Fund, the Underlying Index, the equity securities included in the Underlying Index or instruments whose value is derived from the Index Fund, the Underlying Index, the equity securities included in the Underlying Index. While we cannot predict an outcome, such hedging activity or other hedging and investment activity of ours could potentially increase the closing price of the Index Fund on any trading day as well as the Initial Share Price, and, therefore, effectively establish a higher price at which the Index Fund must trade for you to receive at maturity of the notes the principal amount of your notes (in addition to coupon payments over the term of the notes). From time to time, prior to maturity of the notes, we may pursue a dynamic hedging strategy which may involve taking long or short positions in the Index Fund, the Underlying Index or the equity securities included in the Underlying Index or instruments whose value is derived from the Index Fund, the Underlying Index or the equity securities included in the Underlying Index. Although we have no reason to believe that any of these activities will have a material impact on the price of the shares of the Index Fund or the value of the notes, we cannot assure you that these activities will not have such an effect.

        We have no obligation to engage in any manner of hedging activity and will do so solely at our discretion and for our own account. No note holder shall have any rights or interest in our hedging activity or any positions we may take in connection with our hedging activity.

THE ISHARES ® FTSE/XINHUA CHINA 25 INDEX FUND

        We have derived all information contained in this product supplement no. 72-1 regarding iShares® FTSE/Xinhua China 25 Index Fund (the “Index Fund”), 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, iShares® Inc. (“iShares®”), Barclays Global Investors, N.A, (“BGI”), and Barclays Global Fund Advisors (“BGFA”). The Index Fund is an investment portfolio maintained and managed by iShares®. BGFA is the investment adviser to the Index Fund. The Index Fund is an exchange traded fund (“ETF”) which trades on the NYSE under the ticker symbol “FXI.” We make no representations or warranty as to the accuracy or completeness of the information derived from these public sources.

        iShares® is a registered investment company that consists of numerous separate investment portfolios, including the Index Fund. Information provided to or filed with the SEC by iShares® pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933 and the Investment Company Act of 1940 can be located by reference to SEC file numbers 033-97598 and 811-09102, respectively, through the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov. For additional information regarding iShares®, BGFA, the Index Fund, please see the Prospectus December 1, 2006. In addition, information about iShares® and the Index Fund may be obtained from other sources including, but not limited to, press releases, newspaper articles and other publicly disseminated documents and the iShares® website at www.ishares.com. We make representation or warranty as to the accuracy or completeness of such information.

Investment Objective and Strategy

        The Index Fund seeks investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the Underlying Index. The Index Fund’s objective may be changed without shareholder approval.

        As of March 5, 2007, the Index Fund’s three largest holdings were China Mobile, Ltd., PetroChina Co., Ltd. — Class H and Industrial and Commercial Bank of China Asia, Ltd. — Class H, and its three largest sectors were telecommunications, oil & gas and financials.

        The Index Fund uses a representative sampling strategy (as described below under “— Representative Sampling”) to try to track the Underlying Index. The Index Fund invests at least 90% of its assets in the securities of the Underlying Index or in American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”), Global Depositary Receipts (“GDRs”) or European Depositary Receipts (“EDRs”)(collectively, “Depositary Receipts”) representing securities in the Underlying Index. The Index Fund may invest the remainder of its assets in securities not included in the Underlying Index, but which BGFA believes will help the Index Fund track the Underlying Index. For example, the Index Fund may invest in securities not included in the Underlying Index in order to reflect various corporate actions (such as mergers) and other changes in the Underlying Index (such as reconstitutions, additions and deletions). The Index Fund may also invest its other assets in future contracts, options on futures contracts, options, and swaps related to the Underlying Index, as well as cash and cash equivalents, including shares of money market funds affiliated with BGFA.

Representative Sampling

        The Index Fund pursues a “representative sampling” strategy in attempting to track the performance of Underlying Index, and generally does not hold all of the equity securities included in the Underlying Index. The Index Fund invests in a representative sample of securities in the Underlying Index, which have a similar investment profile as the Underlying Index. Securities selected have aggregate investment characteristics (based on market capitalization and industry weightings), fundamental characteristics (such as return variability, earnings valuation and yield) and liquidity measures similar to those of the Underlying Index.


 
  PS-15  


Correlation

        The Underlying Index is a theoretical financial calculation, while the Index Fund is an actual investment portfolio. The performance of the Index Fund and the Underlying Index will vary somewhat due to transaction costs, asset valuations, foreign currency valuations, market impact, corporate actions (such as mergers and spin-offs) and timing variances. BGFA expects that, over time, the correlation between the Index Fund’s performance and that of the Underlying Index, before fees and expenses, will be 95% or better. The difference between 100% correlation and the Index Fund’s actual percentage correlation with the Underlying Index is called “tracking error.” The Index Fund, using a representative sampling strategy, can be expected to have a greater tracking error than a fund using replication strategy. Replication is an indexing strategy in which a fund invests in substantially all of the securities in its underlying index in approximately the same proportions as in the underlying index.

Industry Concentration Policy

        The Index Fund will not concentrate its investments (i.e., hold 25% or more of its total assets) in a particular industry or group of industries, except that the Index Fund will concentrate its investments to approximately the same extent that its Underlying Index is so concentrated. For purposes of this limitation, securities of the U.S. government (including its agencies and instrumentalities), repurchase agreements collateralized by U.S. government securities, and securities of state or municipal governments and their political subdivisions are not considered to be issued by members of any industry.

        The relevant terms supplement may include a table, chart or graph showing various hypothetical returns on your notes based on a range of hypothetical Final Share Prices, whether the closing price or price, as applicable, of one share of the Index Fund on any day during the Monitoring Period has declined, as compared to the Initial Share Price, by more than the Protection Amount and various key assumptions shown in the relevant terms supplement, in each case assuming the investment is held from the issue date until the scheduled maturity date.

        Any table, chart or graph showing hypothetical returns will be provided for purposes of illustration only. It should not be viewed as an indication or prediction of future investment results. Rather, it is intended merely to illustrate the impact that various hypothetical market values of the shares of the Index Fund on the scheduled Valuation Date(s) could have on the hypothetical returns on your note, if held to the scheduled maturity date, calculated in the manner described in the relevant terms supplement and assuming all other variables remained constant. Any payments at maturity listed in the relevant terms supplement will be entirely hypothetical. They will be based on Final Share Prices or closing prices or prices, as applicable, of one share of the Index Fund on any day during the Monitoring Period, in each case that may vary and on assumptions that may prove to be erroneous.

        The return on your note may bear little relation to, and may be much less than, the return that you might achieve were you to invest in the shares of the Index Fund directly. Among other things, the return on the shares of the Index Fund could include substantial dividend payments, which you will not receive as an investor in your note, and an investment in the shares of the Index Fund is likely to have tax consequences that are different from an investment in your note.

        We describe various risk factors that may affect the market value of your note, and the unpredictable nature of that market value, under “Risk Factors” above.

        The notes are not sponsored, endorsed, sold, or promoted by BGI. BGI makes no representations or warranties to the owners of the notes or any member of the public regarding the advisability of investing in the notes.

THE FTSE/XINHUA CHINA 25 INDEX

        We have obtained all information contained in this pricing supplement no. 72-1 regarding the Underlying 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, FTSE/Xinhua Index Limited (“FXI”), a joint venture of FTSE International Limited (“FTSE”) and Xinhua Financial Network Limited (“Xinhua”). FXI has no obligation to continue to publish, and may discontinue publication of, the Underlying Index.

        The Underlying Index is a stock index calculated, published and disseminated by FXI, and is designed to represent the performance of the mainland Chinese market that is available to international investors. The Underlying Index is quoted in Hong Kong dollars (“HKD”) and currently is based on the 25 largest and most liquid Chinese stocks (called “H” shares and “Red Chip” shares), listed and trading on the HKSE. “H” shares are securities of companies incorporated in the People’s Republic of China and nominated by the Chinese Government for listing and trading on the HKSE. “Red Chip” shares are securities of Hong Kong-incorporated companies, which are substantially owned directly or indirectly by the Chinese government and have the majority of their business interests in mainland China. Both “H” shares and “Red Chip” shares are quoted and traded in Hong Kong dollars and are available only to international investors, who are not citizens of the People’s Republic of China.

        The Underlying Index is reported by Bloomberg L.P. under the ticker symbol “XIN0I.”

Computation of the Underlying Index

        The Underlying Index is calculated using the free float index calculation methodology of the FTSE Group. The index is calculated using the following algorithm:

∑ p (n) e (n) s (n) f (n) c (n)

d

where p is the latest trade price of the component security n, e is the exchange rate required to convert the security’s home currency into the index’s base currency, s is the number of shares of the security in issue, f is the portion of free floating shares, adjusted in accordance with the policies of FXI, c is the capping factor published by the FXI at the most recent quarterly review of the index, and d is the divisor, a figure that represents the total issued share capital of the index at the base date, which may be adjusted to allow for changes in the issued share capital of individual securities without distorting the index.


 
  PS-18 

        Underlying Index uses actual trade prices for securities with local stock exchange quotations and Reuters real-time spot currency rates for its calculations. Under this methodology, FXI excludes from free floating shares trade investments in a FTSE/Xinhua China 25 Index constituent company by another FTSE/Xinhua China 25 Index constituent company, significant long-term holdings by founders, directors and/or their families, employee share schemes (if restricted), government holdings, foreign ownership limits, and portfolio investments subject to lock-in clauses (for the duration of the clause). Free float restrictions are calculated using available published information. The initial weighting of a FTSE/Xinhua China 25 Index constituent stock is applied in bands, as follows:

Free float less than or equal to 15% Ineligible for inclusion in the Underlying Index, unless free float is also greater than 5% and the full market capitalization is greater than US$2.5 billion (or local currency equivalent), in which case actual free float is used.

Free float greater than 15% but less than or equal to 20% 20%

Free float greater than 20% but less than or equal to 30% 30%

Free float greater than 30% but less than or equal to 40% 40%

Free float greater than 40% but less than or equal to 50% 50%

Free float greater than 50% but less than or equal to 75% 75%

Free float greater than 75% 100%

        These bands are narrow at the lower end, to ensure that there is sufficient sensitivity in order to maintain accurate representation, and broader at the higher end, in order to ensure that the weightings of larger companies do not fluctuate absent a significant corporate event. Following the application of an initial free float restriction, a FTSE/Xinhua China 25 Index constituent stock’s free float will only be changed if its actual free float is more than 5 percentage points above the minimum or 5 percentage points below the maximum of an adjacent band. This 5 percentage point threshold does not apply if the initial free float is less than 15%. Foreign ownership limits, if any, are applied after calculating the actual free float restriction, but before applying the bands shown above. If the foreign ownership limit is more restrictive than the free float restriction, the precise foreign ownership limit is applied. If the foreign ownership limit is less restrictive or equal to the free float restriction, the free float restriction is applied, subject to the bands shown above. The Underlying Index is periodically reviewed for changes in free float. These reviews coincide with the quarterly reviews undertaken of the Underlying Index. Implementation of any changes takes place after the close of the index calculation on the third Friday in January, April, July and October. A stock’s free float is also reviewed and adjusted if necessary following certain corporate events. If the corporate event includes a corporate action which affects the Underlying Index, any change in free float is implemented at the same time as the corporate action. If there is no corporate action, the change in free float is applied as soon as practicable after the corporate event. Securities must be sufficiently liquid to be traded. The following criteria, among others, are used to ensure that illiquid securities are excluded:

  Price.   FXI must be satisfied that an accurate and reliable price exists for the purposes of determining the market value of a company. FXI may exclude a security from the Underlying Index if it considers that an “accurate and reliable” price is not available. The Underlying Index uses the last trade prices from the relevant stock exchanges, when available.

  Liquidity.   Securities in the Underlying Index will be reviewed annually for liquidity. Securities which do not turn over at least 2% of their shares in issue, after the application of any free float restrictions, per month for ten of the twelve months prior to the quarterly review by FXI will not be eligible for inclusion in the Underlying Index. An


 
  PS-19 

      existing constituent failing to trade at least 2.0% of its shares in issue, after the application of any free float restrictions, per month for more than four of the twelve months prior to the quarterly review will be removed after close of the index calculation on the next trading day following the third Friday in January, April, July and October. Any period when a share is suspended will be excluded from the calculation.

  New Issues.   New issues must have a minimum trading record of at least 20 trading days prior to the date of the review and turnover of a minimum of 2% of their shares in issue, after the application of any free float restrictions, per month each month, except in certain circumstances.

        The Underlying Index, like other indices of FXI, is governed by an independent advisory committee that ensures that the index is operated in accordance with its published ground rules, and that the rules remain relevant to the Underlying Index.

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. Using the last reported closing prices of the stocks underlying the FTSE/Xinhua China 25 Index on the HKSE, the closing level of the FTSE/Xinhua China 25 Index on any such trading day generally will be calculated, published and disseminated by the American Stock Exchange in the United States shortly before the opening of trading on the American Stock Exchange in New York on the same calendar day.

        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


 
  PS-20 

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 Underlying Index may be limited by suspension of trading of individual stocks which comprise the Underlying Index which may, in turn, adversely affect the value of the notes.

GENERAL TERMS OF NOTES

Calculation Agent

        J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. will act as the calculation agent. The calculation agent will determine, among other things, the price of the shares of the Index Fund quoted on the Relevant Exchange or the closing price of the shares of the Index Fund on any day, as applicable, in each case during the Monitoring Period, the Share Adjustment Factor, anti-dilution adjustments, the Final Share Price, the amount of a coupon payment payable on any Coupon Payment Date and the amount we will pay you at maturity, as well as whether and how much the closing price or price, as applicable, of one share of the Index Fund during the Monitoring Period and the Final Share Price have declined from the Initial Share Price. In addition, the calculation agent will also be responsible for determining whether a market disruption event has occurred; which exchange traded fund will be substituted for the Index Fund (or successor index fund, if applicable) if the Index Fund (or successor index fund, if applicable) is de-listed, liquidated or otherwise terminated; whether the Underlying Index (or the underlying index related to a successor index fund, if applicable) has been changed in a material respect; whether the Index fund (or successor index fund, if applicable) has been modified so that the Index Fund (or successor index fund, if applicable) does not, in the opinion of the calculation agent, fairly represent the price of the Index Fund (or successor index fund, if applicable) had those modifications not been made; and, if the notes bear coupons, whether a day is a Coupon Payment Date. All determinations made by the calculation agent will be at the sole discretion of the calculation agent and will, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive for all purposes and binding on you and on us. We may appoint a different calculation agent from time to time after the date of the relevant terms supplement without your consent and without notifying you.

        The calculation agent will provide written notice to the trustee at its New York office, on which notice the trustee may conclusively rely, of the amount to be paid at maturity and each Coupon Payment Date on or prior to 11:00 a.m. on the business day preceding the maturity date and each Coupon Payment Date, if applicable.

        All calculations with respect to the closing price or price, as applicable, of one share of the Index Fund quoted on the Relevant Exchange during the Monitoring Period, the Final Share Price and the payment at maturity to a note holder will be rounded to the nearest one ten-thousandth, with five one hundred-thousandths rounded upward (e.g., .87645 would be rounded up to .8765); all dollar amounts related to the determination of the Cash Value payable at maturity, if applicable, per $1,000 principal amount note, will be rounded to the nearest one ten-thousandth, with five one hundred-thousandths rounded upward (e.g., .76545 would be rounded up to .7655); and all dollar amounts paid, if any, on the aggregate principal amount of notes per holder will be rounded to the nearest cent, with one-half cent rounded upward.

Market Disruption Events

        Certain events may prevent the calculation agent from calculating the Final Share Price and consequently, the amount, if any, that we will pay you at maturity. These events may include disruptions or suspensions of trading on the markets as a whole. We refer to these events individually as a “market disruption event.”

        With respect to the Index Fund (or any successor index fund or other security for which a closing price must be determined), a “market disruption event,” unless otherwise specified in the relevant terms supplement, means:

          (1)(A) the occurrence or existence of a suspension, absence or material limitation of trading of the shares of the Index Fund (or such successor index fund or such other security) on the primary market for such shares (or such successor index fund or such other security) for more than two hours of trading or during the one-half hour period preceding the close of the principal trading session in such market;


 
  PS-22 

          (B) a breakdown or failure in the price and trade reporting systems of the primary market for the shares of the Index Fund (or such successor index fund or such other security) as a result of which the reported trading prices for such shares (or such successor index fund or such other security) during the last one-half hour preceding the close of the principal trading session in such market are materially inaccurate; or

          (C) the occurrence or existence of a suspension, absence or material limitation of trading on the primary market for trading in futures or options contracts related to the shares of the Index Fund (or such successor index fund or such other security), if available, during the one-half hour period preceding the close of the principal trading session in the applicable market,

in each case, as determined by the calculation agent in its sole discretion; or

          (2) the occurrence or existence of a suspension, absence or material limitation of trading of equity securities then constituting 20 percent or more of the level of the Underlying Index (or the underlying index related to the successor index fund) on the Relevant Exchanges for such securities for more than two hours of trading or during the one-half hour period preceding the close of the principal trading session on such Relevant Exchange, in each case as determined by the calculation agent in its sole discretion; or

          (3) the occurrence or existence of a suspension, absence or material limitation of trading on any major U.S. securities market for trading in futures or options contracts related to the Underlying Index (or the underlying index related to the successor index fund) or shares of the Index Fund (or such successor index fund or such other security) for more than two hours of trading or during the one-half hour period preceding the close of the principal trading session on such market, in each case as determined by the calculation agent in its sole discretion; and

in each case, a determination by the calculation agent in its sole discretion that any event described in clauses (1), (2) and (3) materially interfered with our ability or the ability of any of our affiliates to unwind or adjust all or a material portion of the hedge position with respect to the notes.

        For the purpose of determining whether a market disruption event exists at any time, if trading in a security included in the Underlying Index (or the underlying index related to the successor index fund) is materially suspended or materially limited at that time, then the relevant percentage contribution of that security to the level of the Underlying Index (or the underlying index related to the successor index fund) shall be based on a comparison of (x) the portion of the level of the Underlying Index (or the underlying index related to the successor index fund) attributable to that security relative to (y) the overall level of the Underlying Index (or the underlying index related to the successor index fund), in each case immediately before that suspension or limitation.

        For the purpose of determining whether a market disruption event has occurred:

          (1) a limitation on the hours or number of days of trading will not constitute a market disruption event if it results from an announced change in the regular business hours of the relevant exchange or market;

          (2) a decision to permanently discontinue trading in the relevant futures or options contract or exchange traded fund will not constitute a market disruption event;

          (3) limitations pursuant to the rules of any Relevant Exchange similar to NYSE Rule 80A (or any applicable rule or regulation enacted or promulgated by any other self-regulatory organization or any government agency of scope similar to NYSE Rule 80A as determined by the calculation agent) on trading during significant market fluctuations will constitute a suspension, absence or material limitation of trading;

          (4) a suspension of trading in futures or options contracts on the Underlying Index or shares of the Index Fund (or such successor index fund or such other security) by the primary securities market trading in such contracts by reason of (a) a price change exceeding limits set by such securities exchange or market, (b) an imbalance of orders relating to such contracts or (c) a


 
  PS-23 

  disparity in bid and ask quotes relating to such contracts, will constitute a suspension, absence or material limitation of trading in futures or options contracts related to the Underlying Index (or the underlying index related to the successor index fund) or the shares of the Index Fund (or such successor index fund or such other security); and

          (5) a suspension, absence or material limitation of trading on any Relevant Exchange or on the primary market on which futures or options contracts related to the Underlying Index (or the underlying index related to the successor index fund) or the shares of the Index Fund (or such successor index fund or such other security) are traded will not include any time when such securities market is itself closed for trading under ordinary circumstances.

Anti-dilution Adjustments

        The Share Adjustment Factor is subject to adjustment by the calculation agent as a result of the anti-dilution adjustments described in this section.

        No adjustments to the Share Adjustment Factor will be required unless the Share Adjustment Factor adjustment would require a change of at least 0.1% in the Share Adjustment Factor then in effect. The Share Adjustment Factor resulting from any of the adjustments specified in this section will be rounded to the nearest one ten-thousandth with five one hundred-thousandths being rounded upward. The calculation agent will not be required to make any adjustments to the Share Adjustment Factor after the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the maturity date.

        No adjustments to the Share Adjustment Factor will be required other than those specified below. The required adjustments specified in this section do not cover all events that could affect the closing price of one share of the Index Fund on any trading day during the term of the notes.

        We will, within ten business days following the occurrence of an event that requires an adjustment to the Share Adjustment Factor, or if we are not aware of this occurrence, as soon as practicable after becoming so aware, provide notice to the calculation agent, which shall provide written notice to the trustee, which shall provide notice to the holders of the notes of the occurrence of this event and, if applicable, a statement in reasonable detail setting forth the adjusted Share Adjustment Factor.

        Share Splits and Reverse Share Splits

        If the shares of the Index Fund are subject to a share split or reverse share split, then once such split has become effective, the Share Adjustment Factor will be adjusted so that the new Share Adjustment Factor shall equal the product of:

the prior Share Adjustment Factor, and
the number of shares which a holder of one share of the Index Fund before the effective date of the share split or reverse share split would have owned or been entitled to receive immediate following the applicable effective date.

        Share Dividends or Distributions

        If the Index Fund is subject to a (i) share dividend, i.e., an issuance of additional shares of the Index Fund that is given ratably to all or substantially all holders of shares of the Index Fund or (ii) distribution of shares of the Index Fund as a result of the triggering of any provision of the corporate charter of the Index Fund, then, once the dividend or distribution has become effective and the shares of the Index Fund are trading ex-dividend, the Share Adjustment Factor will be adjusted so that the new Share Adjustment Factor shall equal the prior Share Adjustment Factor plus the product of:

the prior Share Adjustment Factor, and
the number of additional shares issued in the share dividend or distribution with respect to one share of the Index Fund.

 
  PS-24 

        Non-cash Distributions

        If the Index Fund distributes shares of capital stock, evidences of indebtedness or other assets or property of the Index Fund to all or substantially all holders of shares of the Index Fund (other than (i) share dividends or distributions referred to under “— Share Dividends or Distributions” above and (ii) cash dividends referred under “— Cash Dividends or Distributions” below), then, once the distribution has become effective and the shares of the Index Fund are trading ex-dividend, the Share Adjustment Factor will be adjusted so that the new Share Adjustment Factor shall equal the product of:

the prior Share Adjustment Factor, and
a fraction, the numerator of which is the Current Market Price of one share of the Index Fund and the denominator of which is the amount by which such Current Market Price exceeds the Fair Market Value of such distribution.

        The “Current Market Price” of the Index Fund means the closing price of one share of the Index Fund on the trading day immediately preceding the ex-dividend date of the distribution requiring an adjustment to the Share Adjustment Factor.

        The “ex-dividend date” shall mean the first trading day on which transactions in the shares of the Index Fund trade on the Relevant Exchange without the right to receive that dividend or distribution.

        The “Fair Market Value” of any such distribution means the value of such distribution on the ex-dividend date for such distribution, as determined by the calculation agent. If such distribution consists of property traded on the ex-dividend date on a U.S. national securities exchange, the Fair Market Value will equal the closing price of such distributed property on such ex-dividend date.

        Cash Dividends or Distributions

        If the issuer of any shares of the Index Fund pays dividends or makes other distributions consisting exclusively of cash to all or substantially all holders of shares of the Index Fund during any fiscal quarter during the term of the notes, in an aggregate amount that, together with other such dividends or distributions made during such quarterly fiscal period, exceeds the Dividend Threshold, then, once the dividend or distribution has become effective and the shares of the Index Fund are trading ex-dividend, the Share Adjustment Factor will be adjusted so that the new Share Adjustment Factor shall equal the product of:

the prior Share Adjustment Factor, and
a fraction, the numerator of which is the Current Market Price of one share of the Index Fund and the denominator of which is the amount by which such Current Market Price exceeds the amount in cash per share the Index Fund distributes to holders of shares of the Index Fund in excess of the Dividend Threshold.

        “Dividend Threshold” shall mean the amount of any cash dividend or cash distribution distributed per share of the Index Fund that exceeds the immediately preceding cash dividend or other cash distribution, if any, per share of the Index Fund by more than 10% of the closing price of the Index Fund on the trading day immediately preceding the ex-dividend date, unless otherwise specified in the relevant terms supplement.

        The calculation agent will be solely responsible for the determination and calculation of any adjustments to the Share Adjustment Factor and of any related determinations and calculations, and its determinations and calculations with respect thereto will be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

        The calculation agent will provide information as to any adjustments to the Share Adjustment Factor upon written request by any investor in the notes.


 
  PS-25 

Alternate Calculation of Price and Closing Price

        If the Index Fund (or a successor index fund (as defined herein) is de-listed from the NYSE (or any other Relevant Exchange), liquidated or otherwise terminated, the calculation agent will substitute an exchange traded fund that the calculation agent determines, in its sole discretion, is comparable to the discontinued Index Fund (or such successor index fund) (such index fund being referred to herein as a “successor index fund”). If the Index Fund (or a successor index fund) is de-listed, liquidated or otherwise terminated and the calculation agent determines that no successor index fund is available, then the calculation agent will, in its sole discretion, calculate the appropriate price or closing price, as applicable, of the shares of the Index Fund by a computation methodology that the calculation agent determines will as closely as reasonably possible replicate the Index Fund. If a successor index fund is selected or the calculation agent calculates a price or closing price, as applicable, by a computation methodology that the calculation determines will as closely as reasonably possible replicate the Index Fund, that successor index fund or price or closing price, as applicable will be substituted for the Index Fund (or such successor index fund) for all purposes of the notes.

        If at any time:

the Underlying Index (or the underlying index related to a successor index fund) is changed in a material respect, or
the Index Fund (or a successor index fund) in any other way is modified so that it does not, in the opinion of the calculation agent, fairly represent the price of the shares of the Index Fund (or such successor index fund) had those changes or modifications not been made,

then, from and after that time, the calculation agent will make those calculations and adjustments as, in the good faith judgment of the calculation agent, may be necessary in order to arrive at a price or closing price, as applicable, of an exchange traded fund comparable to the Index Fund (or such successor index fund) as if those changes or modifications had not been made, and calculate the price or closing price with reference to the Index Fund (or such successor index fund), as adjusted. The calculation agent also may determine that no adjustment is required by the modification of the method of calculation.

        The calculation agent will be solely responsible for the method of calculating the price or closing price, as applicable, of the shares of the Index Fund (or any successor index fund) and of any related determinations and calculations, and its determinations and calculations with respect thereto will be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

        The calculation agent will provide information as to the method of calculating the price or closing price, as applicable, of the shares of the Index Fund upon written request by any investor in the notes.

Events of Default

        Under the heading “Description of Debt Securities — Events of Default, Waiver, Debt Securities in Foreign Currencies” in the accompanying prospectus is a description of events of default relating to debt securities including the notes.

Payment Upon an Event of Default

        Unless otherwise specified in the relevant terms supplement, in case an event of default with respect to the notes shall have occurred and be continuing, the amount declared due and payable per $1,000 principal amount note upon any acceleration of the notes will be calculated as if the date of acceleration were the Final Valuation Date, plus, if applicable, any accrued and unpaid coupon payments on the notes. If the notes have more than one Valuation Date, then for each Valuation Date scheduled to occur after the date of acceleration, the trading days immediately preceding the date of acceleration (in such number equal to the number of Valuation Dates in excess of one) shall be the corresponding Valuation Dates, unless otherwise specified in the relevant terms supplement. Upon any acceleration of the notes, any coupon payments will be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year of


 
  PS-26 

twelve 30-day months and the actual number of days elapsed from and including the previous Coupon Payment Date for which coupon payments were paid.

        If the maturity of the notes is accelerated because of an event of default as described above, we shall, or shall cause the calculation agent to, provide written notice to the trustee at its New York office, on which notice the trustee may conclusively rely, and to DTC of the cash amount due with respect to the notes as promptly as possible and in no event later than two business days after the date of acceleration.

Modification

        Under the heading “Description of Debt Securities — Modification of the Indenture; Waiver of Compliance” in the accompanying prospectus is a description of when the consent of each affected holder of debt securities is required to modify the indenture.

Defeasance

        The provisions described in the accompanying prospectus under the heading “Description of Debt Securities — Discharge, Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance” are not applicable to the notes, unless otherwise specified in the relevant terms supplement.

Listing

        The notes will not be listed on any securities exchange, unless otherwise specified in the relevant terms supplement.

Book-Entry Only Issuance — The Depository Trust Company

        The Depository Trust Company, or DTC, will act as securities depositary for the notes. The notes will be issued only as fully-registered securities registered in the name of Cede & Co. (DTC’s nominee). One or more fully-registered global notes certificates, representing the total aggregate principal amount of the notes, will be issued and will be deposited with DTC. See the descriptions contained in the accompanying prospectus supplement under the headings “Description of Notes — Forms of Notes” and “The Depositary.”

Registrar, Transfer Agent and Paying Agent

        Payment of amounts due at maturity on the notes will be payable and the transfer of the notes will be registrable at the principal corporate trust office of The Bank of New York (“BONY”) in The City of New York.

        BONY or one of its affiliates will act as registrar and transfer agent for the notes. BONY will also act as paying agent and may designate additional paying agents.

        Registration of transfers of the notes will be effected without charge by or on behalf of BONY, but upon payment (with the giving of such indemnity as BONY may require) in respect of any tax or other governmental charges that may be imposed in relation to it.

Governing Law

        The notes will be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

        The following is a summary of the material United States federal income tax consequences of the purchase, ownership, and disposition of notes as of the date of this product supplement no. 72-1. If any information in the accompanying prospectus supplement or prospectus is inconsistent with this product supplement no. 72-1, you should rely on the information in this product supplement no. 72-1. If any information in the relevant terms supplement is inconsistent with this product supplement no. 72-1, you should rely on the information in the relevant terms supplement. The relevant terms supplement may also add, update or change information contained in this product supplement no. 72-1.

        Except where noted, this summary deals only with a note held as a capital asset by a United States holder who purchases the note on original issue at its initial offering price and it does not deal with special situations. For example, except where noted, this summary does not address:

tax consequences to holders who may be subject to special tax treatment, such as dealers in securities or currencies, traders in securities that elect to use the mark-to-market method of accounting for their securities, financial institutions, regulated investment companies, real estate investment trusts, pass-through entities, tax-exempt entities or insurance companies;
tax consequences to persons holding notes as part of a hedging, integrated, constructive sale or conversion transaction or a straddle;
tax consequences to holders of notes whose “functional currency” is not the U.S. dollar;
alternative minimum tax consequences, if any; or
any state, local or foreign tax consequences.

        If a partnership holds our notes, the tax treatment of a partner will generally depend upon the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. If you are a partner of a partnership holding our notes, you should consult your tax advisors.

        The discussion below is based upon the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and regulations, rulings and judicial decisions as of the date of this product supplement no. 72-1. Those authorities may be changed, perhaps retroactively, so as to result in United States federal income tax consequences different from those discussed below.

        The United States federal income tax treatment of securities such as the notes is not clear. If you are considering the purchase of notes, you should consult your own tax advisors concerning the federal income tax consequences in light of your particular situation and any consequences arising under the laws of any other taxing jurisdiction.

United States holders

        The following discussion will apply to you if you are a United States holder of notes.

        For purposes of this discussion, a United States holder is a beneficial owner of a note that is for United States federal income tax purposes:

an individual citizen or resident of the United States;
a corporation (or any other entity treated as a corporation for United States federal income tax purposes) created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof, or the District of Columbia;
an estate the income of which is subject to United States federal income taxation regardless of its source; or
a trust if (1) it is subject to the primary supervision of a court within the United States and one or more United States persons has the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (2) it has a valid election in effect under applicable Treasury regulations to be treated as a United States person.

 
  PS-28 

        A non-United States holder is a beneficial owner (other than a partnership) of notes that is not a United States holder.

General

        No statutory, judicial or administrative authority directly addresses the characterization of the notes or instruments similar to the notes for United States federal income tax purposes. As a result, significant aspects of the United States federal income tax consequences of an investment in the notes are not certain. No ruling is being requested from the Internal Revenue Service with respect to the notes and no assurance can be given that the Internal Revenue Service will agree with the treatment described herein. We intend to treat and by purchasing a note, for all tax purposes you agree to treat the notes as cash-settled financial contracts, rather than as debt instruments. Except where noted, the remainder of this discussion assumes that this treatment is correct, although no assurance is given in this regard.

Coupon payments

        There is no direct authority addressing the treatment of the coupon payments under current law, and such treatment is unclear. Such coupon payments will not constitute interest income for United States federal income tax purposes, but may in whole or in part constitute other periodic income payments to you when received or accrued, in accordance with your method of tax accounting. To the extent we are required to file information returns with respect to the coupon payments, we intend to report such payments as taxable income to you. You should consult your own tax advisor concerning the treatment of the coupon payments, including the possibility that any such payment may be treated in whole or in part for United States federal income tax purposes as interest, a payment analogous to an option premium, a purchase price adjustment or rebate rather than being includible in income as other periodic income on a current basis. The treatment of the coupon payments could affect your tax basis in the notes or your amount realized upon the sale or disposition of the notes or upon settlement or maturity of the notes. See “— Sale, exchange or other disposition or cash settlement upon maturity.”

Sale, exchange or other disposition, or cash settlement upon maturity

        Upon a sale, exchange or other disposition, or payment upon cash settlement at maturity of a note, you will recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount of cash received and your basis in the note. The gain or loss will be treated as capital gain or loss. If you are an individual and have held the note for more than one year, such capital gain will be subject to reduced rates of taxation. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations. Your basis in the note will generally equal your cost of such note. Coupon payments, if any, received by you but not includible in your income should reduce your tax basis in the note. See “— Coupon payments.”

Alternative characterizations

        There can be no assurance that the Internal Revenue Service will agree with the foregoing treatment of the notes, and it is possible that the Internal Revenue Service could assert another treatment and a court could agree with such assertion. For instance, it is possible that the Internal Revenue Service could seek to treat the notes as debt, in particular because the notes in form are debt instruments. For notes with maturities of one year or less, the Internal Revenue Service could seek to apply the regulations governing short-term debt obligations. In such a case, holders may be required to accrue income in advance of receipt of cash and treat any gain realized on the sale, exchange or maturity of the notes as ordinary income. Any loss realized upon maturity would likely be treated as capital loss, except possibly to the extent of amounts, if any, previously included in income. For notes with maturities longer than one year, the Internal Revenue Service could seek to apply the regulations governing contingent payment debt obligations. Those regulations would require you to accrue interest income at a market rate, notwithstanding the coupon payments actually made, and generally


 
  PS-29 

would characterize gain or, to some extent, loss as ordinary rather than capital. Additionally, the Internal Revenue Service could assert that the selection and substitution of a successor index fund, if applicable, results in a taxable exchange of the notes at the time of such selection and substitution, which could affect your holding period and the timing, amount and character of income recognized with respect to the notes. Other characterizations are also possible that could affect the timing, amount and character of income or deductions.

Non-United States holders

        The following discussion is a summary of the material United States federal tax consequences that will apply to you if you are a non-United States holder of notes.

        Special rules may apply to you if you are a controlled foreign corporation, passive foreign investment company, a corporation that accumulates earnings to avoid United States federal income tax, or an individual who is a United States expatriate and therefore subject to special treatment under the Code. Also, as discussed above, alternative characterizations of a note for United States federal income tax purposes are possible, which could result in the imposition of United States federal income or withholding tax on the sale, exchange, other disposition or payment of a note. You should consult your own tax advisors to determine the United States federal, state, local and other tax consequences that may be relevant to you.

United States federal withholding tax

        We will generally withhold tax at a 30% rate on coupon payments paid on the notes unless such rate is reduced or eliminated by an “other income” or similar provision of an applicable United States income tax treaty, provided the relevant certification requirements are satisfied. However, coupon payments that are effectively connected with your conduct of a trade or business within the United States and, where a tax treaty applies, are attributable to your United States permanent establishment, are not subject to the withholding tax, provided the relevant certification requirements are satisfied, but instead are subject to United States federal income tax, as described below.

        Based on the treatment of the notes described above, you should not be subject to United States federal withholding tax for payments on any sale, exchange or other disposition or on payments (other than coupon payments) received at maturity in respect of the notes.

United States federal income tax

        Based on the treatment of the notes described above, any gain or income realized upon the sale, exchange or other disposition or on payments received at maturity in respect of a note generally will not be subject to United States federal income tax unless (i) the gain or income is effectively connected with a trade or business in the United States of a non-United States holder or (ii) in the case of a non-United States holder who is an individual, such individual is present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of the sale, exchange or other disposition or on payments received at maturity in respect of a note, and certain other conditions are met.

United States federal estate tax

        If you are an individual non-United States holder of notes, notes held by you at the time of death may be included in your gross estate for United States federal estate tax purposes, unless an applicable estate tax treaty provides otherwise.

Information reporting and backup withholding

        If you are a United States holder of notes, information reporting requirements will generally apply to all payments (including coupon payments) received by you or upon the sale, exchange or other disposition of a note, unless you are an exempt recipient such as a corporation. Backup withholding


 
  PS-30 

tax will apply to those payments if you fail to provide a taxpayer identification number, a certification of exempt status, or if you fail to comply with applicable certification requirements.

        If you are a non-United States holder of notes, we must report annually to the Internal Revenue Service and to you the amount of all payments paid to you and the amount of tax, if any, withheld with respect to those payments. Copies of the information returns reporting such coupon payments and withholding may also be made available to the tax authorities in the country in which you reside under the provisions of an applicable income tax treaty. In general, you will not be subject to backup withholding with respect to payments we make to you provided that we do not have actual knowledge or reason to know that you are a United States holder and you provide your name and address on an IRS Form W-8BEN and certify, under penalties of perjury, that you are not a United States holder. Alternative documentation may be applicable in some situations. Special certification rules apply to holders that are pass-through entities. In addition, you will be subject to information reporting and, depending on the circumstances, backup withholding regarding the proceeds of the sale of a note made within the United States or conducted through United States-related financial intermediaries, unless the payor receives the statement described above and does not have actual knowledge or reason to know that you are a United States holder, or you otherwise establish an exemption.

        Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules will be allowed as a refund or credit against your United States federal income tax liability provided the required information is furnished to the Internal Revenue Service.

UNDERWRITING

        Under the terms and subject to the conditions contained in the Master Agency Agreement entered into between JPMorgan Chase & Co. and J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. as agent (an “Agent” or “JPMSI”), and certain other agents that may be party to the Master Agency Agreement from time to time (each an “Agent” and collectively with JPMSI, the “Agents”), each Agent participating in an offering of notes, acting as principal for its own account, has agreed to purchase, and we have agreed to sell, the principal amount of notes set forth on the cover page of the relevant terms supplement. Each such Agent proposes initially to offer the notes directly to the public at the public offering price set forth on the cover page of the relevant terms supplement. JPMSI will allow a concession to other dealers, or we may pay other fees, in the amount set forth on the cover page of the relevant terms supplement. After the initial offering of the notes, the Agents may vary the offering price and other selling terms from time to time.

        We own, directly or indirectly, all of the outstanding equity securities of JPMSI. The underwriting arrangements for this offering comply with the requirements of Rule 2720 of the Conduct Rules of the NASD regarding an NASD member firm’s underwriting of securities of an affiliate. In accordance with Rule 2720, no underwriter may make sales in this offering to any discretionary account without the prior approval of the customer.

        JPMSI or another Agent may act as principal or agent in connection with offers and sales of the notes in the secondary market. Secondary market offers and sales will be made at prices related to market prices at the time of such offer or sale; accordingly, the Agents or a dealer may change the public offering price, concession and discount after the offering has been completed.

        In order to facilitate the offering of the notes, JPMSI may engage in transactions that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of the notes. Specifically, JPMSI may sell more notes than it is obligated to purchase in connection with the offering, creating a naked short position in the notes for its own account. JPMSI must close out any naked short position by purchasing the notes in the open market. A naked short position is more likely to be created if JPMSI is concerned that there may be downward pressure on the price of the notes in the open market after pricing that could adversely affect investors who purchase in the offering. As an additional means of facilitating the offering, JPMSI may bid for, and purchase, notes in the open market to stabilize the price of the notes. Any of these activities may raise or maintain the market price of the notes above independent market levels or prevent or retard a decline in the market price of the notes. JPMSI is not required to engage in these activities, and may end any of these activities at any time.

        No action has been or will be taken by us, JPMSI or any dealer that would permit a public offering of the notes or possession or distribution of this product supplement no. 72-1 or the accompanying prospectus supplement, prospectus or terms supplement, other than in the United States, where action for that purpose is required. No offers, sales or deliveries of the notes, or distribution of this product supplement no. 72-1 or the accompanying prospectus supplement, prospectus or terms supplement or any other offering material relating to the notes, may be made in or from any jurisdiction except in circumstances which will result in compliance with any applicable laws and regulations and will not impose any obligations on us, the Agents or any dealer.

        Each Agent has represented and agreed, and each dealer through which we may offer the notes has represented and agreed, that it (i) will comply with all applicable laws and regulations in force in each non-U.S. jurisdiction in which it purchases, offers, sells or delivers the notes or possesses or distributes this product supplement no. 72-1 and the accompanying prospectus supplement, prospectus and terms supplement and (ii) will obtain any consent, approval or permission required by it for the purchase, offer or sale by it of the notes under the laws and regulations in force in each non-U.S. jurisdiction to which it is subject or in which it makes purchases, offers or sales of the notes. We shall not have responsibility for any Agent’s or any dealer’s compliance with the applicable laws and regulations or obtaining any required consent, approval or permission.

        The notes are not and will not be authorized by the Comisión Nacional de Valores for public offer in Argentina and may thus not be offered or sold to the public at large or to sectors or specific groups


 
  PS-32 

thereof by any means, including but not limited to personal offerings, written materials, advertisements or the media, in circumstances which constitute a public offering of securities under Argentine Law No. 17,811, as amended.

        The notes have not been and will not be registered with the “Comissão de Valores Mobiliários” — the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (“CVM”) and accordingly, the notes may not be sold, promised to be sold, offered, solicited, advertised and/or marketed within the Federative Republic of Brazil in an offering that can be construed as a public offering under CVM Instruction n° 400, dated December 29, 2003, as amended from time to time.

        The notes have not been registered with the Superintendencia de Valores y Seguros in Chile and may not be offered or sold publicly in Chile. No offer, sales or deliveries of the notes, or distribution of this product supplement no. 72-1 or the accompanying prospectus supplement, prospectus or terms supplement, may be made in or from Chile except in circumstances which will result in compliance with any applicable Chilean laws and regulations.

        The notes may not be offered or sold in Hong Kong, by means of any document, other than to persons whose ordinary business it is to buy or sell shares or debentures, whether as principal or agent, or in circumstances that do not constitute an offer to the public within the meaning of the Companies Ordinance (Cap. 32) of Hong Kong. Each Agent has not issued and will not issue any advertisement, invitation or document relating to the notes, whether in Hong Kong or elsewhere, which is directed at, or the contents of which are likely to be accessed or read by, the public in Hong Kong (except if permitted to do so under the securities laws of Hong Kong) other than with respect to notes which are intended to be disposed of only to persons outside Hong Kong or only to “professional investors” within the meaning of the Securities and Futures Ordinance (Cap. 571) of Hong Kong and any rules made thereunder.

        The notes have not been, and will not be, registered with the National Registry of Securities maintained by the Mexican National Banking and Securities Commission nor with the Mexican Stock Exchange and may not be offered or sold publicly in the United Mexican States. This product supplement no. 72-1 and the accompanying prospectus supplement, prospectus and terms supplement may not be publicly distributed in the United Mexican States.

        Neither this product supplement no. 72-1 nor the accompanying prospectus supplement, prospectus or terms supplement has been registered as a prospectus with the Monetary Authority of Singapore. Accordingly, this product supplement no. 72-1, the accompanying prospectus supplement, prospectus or terms supplement, and any other document or material in connection with the offer or sale, or invitation for subscription or purchase, of the notes may not be circulated or distributed, nor may the notes be offered or sold, or be made the subject of an invitation for subscription or purchase, whether directly or indirectly, to persons in Singapore other than (i) to an institutional investor under Section 274 of the Securities and Futures Act, Chapter 289 of Singapore (the “SFA”), (ii) to a relevant person, or any person pursuant to Section 275(1A), and in accordance with the conditions, specified in Section 275 of the SFA or (iii) otherwise pursuant to, and in accordance with the conditions of, any other applicable provision of the SFA.

        The notes may not be publicly offered in Switzerland, as such term is defined or interpreted under the Swiss Code of Obligations. Neither this product supplement no. 72-1, the accompanying prospectus supplement, prospectus or terms supplement nor any of the documents related to the notes constitute a prospectus in the sense of article 652a or 1156 of the Swiss Code of Obligations.

        In addition, notes that fall within the scope of the Swiss Investment Fund Act may not be offered and distributed by means of public advertising in or from Switzerland, as such term is defined or interpreted under the Swiss Investment Fund Act. Such notes will not be registered with the Swiss Federal Banking Commission under the Swiss Investment Fund Act and the corresponding Swiss Investment Fund Ordinance and investors will, therefore, not benefit from protection under the Swiss Investment Fund Act or supervision by the Swiss Federal Banking Commission.

        Unless otherwise specified in the relevant terms supplement, the settlement date for the notes will be the third business day following the pricing date (which is referred to as a “T+3” settlement cycle).

BENEFIT PLAN INVESTOR CONSIDERATIONS

        A fiduciary of a pension, profit-sharing or other employee benefit plan subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), including entities such as collective investment funds, partnerships and separate accounts whose underlying assets include the assets of such plans (collectively, “ERISA Plans”) should consider the fiduciary standards of ERISA in the context of the ERISA Plans’ particular circumstances before authorizing an investment in the notes. Among other factors, the fiduciary should consider whether the investment would satisfy the prudence and diversification requirements of ERISA and would be consistent with the documents and instruments governing the ERISA Plan.

        Section 406 of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code prohibit ERISA Plans, as well as individual retirement accounts and Keogh plans subject to Section 4975 of the Code (together with ERISA Plans, “Plans”), from engaging in certain transactions involving the “plan assets” with persons who are “parties in interest” under ERISA or “disqualified persons” under the Code (“Parties in Interest”) with respect to such Plans. As a result of our business, we are a Party in Interest with respect to many Plans. Where we are a Party in Interest with respect to a Plan (either directly or by reason of ownership of our subsidiaries), the purchase and holding of the notes by or on behalf of the Plan would be a prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code, unless exemptive relief were available under an applicable exemption (as described below).

        Accordingly, the notes may not be purchased or held by any Plan, any entity whose underlying assets include “plan assets” by reason of any Plan’s investment in the entity (a “Plan Asset Entity”) or any person investing “plan assets” of any Plan, unless such purchaser or holder is eligible for the exemptive relief available under Section 408(b)(17) of ERISA or Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption (“PTCE”) 96-23, 95-60, 91-38, 90-1 or 84-14 issued by the U.S. Department of Labor or the statutory exemptions under Section 408(b)(17) of ERISA and Section 4975(d)(20) are available or there was some other basis on which the purchase and holding of the notes is not prohibited. Each purchaser or holder of the notes or any interest therein will be deemed to have represented by its purchase of the notes that (a) its purchase and holding of the notes is not made on behalf of or with “plan assets” of any Plan or (b) its purchase and holding of the notes will not result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code.

        Employee benefit plans that are governmental plans (as defined in Section 3(32) of ERISA), certain church plans (as defined in Section 3(33) of ERISA) and non-U.S. plans (as described in Section 4(b)(4) of ERISA) are not subject to these “prohibited transaction” rules of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, but may be subject to similar rules under other applicable laws or documents (“Similar Laws”). Accordingly, each purchaser or holder of the notes shall be required to represent (and deemed to constitute a representation) that such purchase and holding is not prohibited under applicable Similar Laws.

        Due to the complexity of the applicable rules, it is particularly important that fiduciaries or other persons considering purchasing the notes on behalf of or with “plan assets” of any Plan consult with their counsel regarding the relevant provisions of ERISA, the Code or any Similar Laws and the availability of exemptive relief.

        Each purchaser and holder of the notes has exclusive responsibility for ensuring that its purchase and holding of the notes does not violate the fiduciary or prohibited transaction rules of ERISA, the Code or any Similar Laws. The sale of any notes to any Plan or plan subject to similar laws is in no respect a representation by us or any of our affiliates or representatives that such an investment meets all relevant legal requirements with respect to investments by such plans generally or any particular plan, or that such an investment is appropriate for plans generally or any particular plan.
