These exchange traded notes are designed for investors who seek a return linked to the First Trust Enhanced 130/30 Large Cap Index(the “Index”).The index is a total return index created and owned by First Trust Advisors L.P. (the “Index Provider”).

   
¨      The Index is a modified equal-weighted total return index consisting of securities that have been selected from a broad universe of the 2,500 largest U.S. exchange-listed stocks pursuant to a quantitative selection process.
   
¨     

The Index contains a long position in certain large capitalization securities equal to 130% of the value of the Index and a short position in certain large capitalization securities equal to 30% of the value of the Index as of each quarterly rebalance date, each according to the eligibility requirements established by the Index Provider.

   
¨      The American Stock Exchange LLC (the “Index Calculation Agent”) is responsible for selecting the component securities of the Index on each quarterly rebalancing date by application of a predefined rules-based methodology developed by the Index Provider. On each business day, the Index Calculation Agent will calculate and publish the intraday indicative value of the Index every 15 seconds during the normal trading hours on the AMEX** and the closing value of the Index, at approximately 4:00 p.m. New York City time.


The graph sets forth the hypothetical historical back-tested performance and actual historical performance of the Index based on the hypothetical historical back-tested daily index closing levels from January 2, 2003 through April 21, 2008 and the actual historical performance of the Index based on the daily Index closing levels from April 22, 2008 through September 30, 2008. The actual initial Index calculation date was April 22, 2008.The hypothetical historical back-tested and actual historical levels of the Index should not be taken as an indication of future performance, and no assurance can be given as to the Index closing value on any future date.The data for the hypothetical back-tested performance of the Index set forth in the above graph was calculated on materially the same basis on which the performance of the Index is now calculated.

The hypothetical historical values above have not been verified by an independent third party. The back-tested, hypothetical historical results above have inherent limitations. These back-tested results are achieved by means of a retroactive application of a back-tested model designed with the benefit of hindsight. No representation is made that any investment in the notes will or is likely to achieve returns similar to those shown. Alternative modeling techniques or assumptions might produce significantly different results and prove to be more appropriate. Past hypothetical back-tested results are neither an indicator nor guarantee of future returns. Actual results will vary, perhaps materially, from the analysis.The hypothetical historical performance data set forth above represents a simulation of past performance, which is no guarantee of future results.The performance data shown above is for illustrative purposes only and does not represent the actual performance of the notes or the performance of the notes had they been outstanding as of the dates shown above. Such data does not reflect any investor fees, transaction costs or expenses.

2First Trust obtained the closing indicative values from unaffiliated market sources. First Trust makes no representation or warranty as to the accuracy or completeness of the information obtained from these sources.The historical closing indicative values should not be taken as an indication of future performance.

The closing indicative value of the notes for any business day (the “IV”) is meant to approximate the intrinsic economic value of the notes.The IV calculation is provided for references purposes only. It is not intended as a price or quotation, or as an offer or solicitation for the purchase, sale, repurchases or termination of these notes, nor will it reflect hedging or transaction costs, market liquidity, investor fees or bid-offer spread.The IV will be based on the closing values of the index, and may not be equal to the payment upon maturity or the payment upon early repurchase. The IV is historical and does not guarantee future performance and is shown for illustrative purposes only. JPMorgan or an affiliate will provide the official repurchase value to the investor requesting repurchase.

The market price quotations and indicative values are for valuation and information purposes only.They shall not constitute a recommendation or solicitation to conclude a transaction at the level stated, and should not be treated as giving investment advice. Any transaction will be subject to the details in the relevant pricing supplement related to that transaction.

3All performance information presented for the Index prior to April 22, 2008 is based on hypothetical, back tested data. Prior to April 22, 2008, the Index was not calculated in real time by an independent calculation agent. Hypothetical, back-tested performance has inherent limitations and is not indicative of future results. No representation is being made that any investment will achieve performance similar to that shown.The Index does not charge management fees or brokerage expenses, and no such fees or expenses were deducted from the hypothetical performance shown. Indexes are unmanaged and an investor cannot invest directly in an index. Index returns assume that dividends are reinvested monthly.

The chart and table above are provided for information purposes only.The hypothetical levels of the Index are not indicative of future performance of the index.

The performance quoted represents historical performance and is not an indication that the return on the notes or the underlying index is more or less likely to increase or decrease at any time during the term of the notes.There can be no assurance that the future performance of the notes or the Index will result in holders of the notes receiving a positive return on their investment.The return of the notes indicates the change in last reported prices at or shortly after 4:00 pm Eastern Time expressed as a percentage from the beginning of the relevant period to the end of the relevant period and do not represent the returns an investor would receive if an investor traded at other times. Market returns do not account for brokerage commissions which will reduce actual returns.

The notes are senior unsecured debt obligations of JPMorgan Chase & Co. and are not secured debt. The notes are riskier than ordinary unsecured debt securities and have no principal protection. Risks of investing in the notes include limited portfolio diversification, trading price fluctuations, uncertain principal repayment and potential illiquidity. Investing in the notes is not equivalent to a direct investment in the Index or the Index components. The investor fee will reduce the amount of your return at maturity or on an early repurchase, and as a result you may receive less than the principal amount of your investment at maturity or upon early repurchase of your notes, even if the value of the relevant index has increased.

JPMorgan Chase & Co. and its affiliates do not provide tax advice. Accordingly, any discussion of U.S. tax matters contained herein is not intended or written to be used, and cannot be used, in connection with the promotion, marketing or recommendation by anyone unaffiliated with JPMorgan Chase & Co. of any of the matters address herein or for the purpose of avoiding U.S. tax-related penalties.
