Key Terms

Index:

The MSCI AC Far East ex Japan Index (the “Index”)

Upside Leverage Factor:

2

Payment at Maturity:

If the MSCI Far East Closing Level is greater than the MSCI Far East Starting Level, you will receive a cash payment that provides you with a return per $1,000 principal amount note equal to the MSCI Far East Return multiplied by two, subject to a Maximum Total Return on the notes of 25.00%*. For example, if the MSCI Far East Return is more than 12.50%, you will receive the Maximum Total Return on the notes of 25.00%*, which entitles you to a maximum payment at maturity of $1,250* for every $1,000 principal amount note that you hold. Accordingly, if the MSCI Far East Return is positive, your payment per $1,000 principal amount note will be calculated as follows, subject to the Maximum Total Return:

 

$1,000 +[$1,000 x (MSCI Far East Return x 2)]

*The actual Maximum Total Return on the notes and the actual maximum payment at maturity will be set on the pricing date and will not be less than 25.00% and $1,250 per $1,000 principal amount note, respectively.

 

Your principal is protected against up to a 10% decline of the Index at maturity. If the MSCI Far East Closing Level declines from the MSCI Far East Starting Level by up to 10%, you will receive the principal amount of your notes at maturity.

If the MSCI Far East Closing Level declines from the MSCI Far East Starting Level by more than 10%, you will lose 1.1111% of the principal amount of your notes for every 1% that the Index declines beyond 10% and your final payment per $1,000 principal amount note will be calculated as follows:

 

$1,000 + [$1,000 x (MSCI Far East Return + 10%) x 1.1111]

 

You will lose some or all of your investment at maturity if the MSCI Far East Closing Level declines from the MSCI Far East Starting Level by more than 10%.

Buffer Amount:

10%

Downside Leverage Factor:

1.1111

MSCI Far East Return:

The performance of the Index from the MSCI Far East Starting Level to the MSCI Far East Closing Level, calculated as follows:

 

MSCI Far East Closing Level – MSCI Far East Starting Level
MSCI Far East Starting Level

MSCI Far East Starting Level:

The closing level of the Index on the pricing date.

MSCI Far East Closing Level:

The arithmetic average of the closing levels of the Index on each of the five Ending Averaging Dates.

Hypothetical Examples of Amounts Payable at Maturity

The following examples illustrate how the total returns set forth in the table and graph above are calculated.

Example 1: The level of the Index increases from the MSCI Far East Starting Level of 280 to an MSCI Far East Closing Level of 294. Because the MSCI Far East Closing Level of 294 is greater than the MSCI Far East Starting Level of 280 and the MSCI Far East Return of 5% multiplied by 2 does not exceed the hypothetical Maximum Total Return of 25.00%, the investor receives a payment at maturity of $1,100 per $1,000 principal amount note, calculated as follows:

$1,000 + [$1,000 x (5% x 2)] = $1,100

Example 2: The level of the Index decreases from the MSCI Far East Starting Level of 280 to an MSCI Far East Closing Level of 252. Although the MSCI Far East Return is negative, because the MSCI Far East Closing Level of 252 is less than the MSCI Far East Starting Level of 280 by not more than the Buffer Amount of 10%, the investor receives a payment at maturity of $1,000 per $1,000 principal amount note.

Example 3: The level of the Index increases from the MSCI Far East Starting Level of 280 to an MSCI Far East Closing Level of 364. Because the MSCI Far East Closing Level of 364 is greater than the MSCI Far East Starting Level of 280 and the MSCI Far East Return of 30% multiplied by 2 exceeds the hypothetical Maximum Total Return of 25.00%, the investor receives a payment at maturity of $1,250 per $1,000 principal amount note, the maximum payment on the notes.

Example 4: The level of the Index decreases from the MSCI Far East Starting Level of 280 to an MSCI Far East Closing Level of 224. Because the MSCI Far East Return is negative and the MSCI Far East Closing Level of 224 is less than the MSCI Far East Starting Level of 280 by more than the Buffer Amount of 10%, the investor receives a payment at maturity of $888.89 per $1,000 principal amount note, calculated as follows:

$1,000 + [$1,000 x (-20% + 10%) x 1.1111] = $888.89

Selected Purchase Considerations

  • APPRECIATION POTENTIAL — The notes provide the opportunity to enhance equity returns by multiplying a positive MSCI Far East Return by two, up to the Maximum Total Return on the notes of 25.00%, or a maximum payment at maturity of $1,250 for every $1,000 principal amount note. The actual Maximum Total Return on the notes and the actual maximum payment at maturity will be set on the pricing date and will not be less than 25.00% and $1,250 per $1,000 principal amount note, respectively. Because the notes are our senior unsecured obligations, payment of any amount at maturity is subject to our ability to pay our obligations as they become due.
  • LIMITED PROTECTION AGAINST LOSS — Payment at maturity of the principal amount of the notes is protected against a decline in the MSCI Far East Closing Level, as compared to the MSCI Far East Starting Level, of up to 10%. If the MSCI Far East Closing Level declines by more than 10%, for every 1% decline of the Index beyond 10%, you will lose an amount equal to 1.1111% of the principal amount of your notes.
  • DIVERSIFICATION OF THE MSCI AC FAR EAST EX JAPAN INDEX — The return on the notes is linked to the MSCI AC Far East ex Japan Index. The MSCI AC Far East ex Japan Index is a free float-adjusted market capitalization weighted index that is designed to measure the equity market performance of the Far East, excluding Japan. As of October 22, 2008 the MSCI AC Far East ex Japan Index consisted of the following 9 developed and emerging market country indices: China, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Korea, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan, and Thailand. See “Supplemental Information” in this amended and restated term sheet for more information.
  • CAPITAL GAINS TAX TREATMENT — You should review carefully the section entitled “Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” in the accompanying product supplement no. 39-X. Subject to the limitations described therein, and based on certain factual representations received from us, in the opinion of our special tax counsel, Davis Polk & Wardwell, it is reasonable to treat the notes as “open transactions” for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Assuming this characterization is respected, your gain or loss on the notes should be treated as long-term capital gain or loss if you hold the notes for more than a year, whether or not you are an initial purchaser of notes at the issue price. However, the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) or a court may not respect this characterization or treatment of the notes, in which case the timing and character of any income or loss on the notes could be significantly and adversely affected. In addition, on December 7, 2007, Treasury and the IRS released a notice requesting comments on the U.S. federal income tax treatment of “prepaid forward contracts” and similar instruments, such as the notes. The notice focuses in particular on whether to require holders of these instruments to accrue income over the term of their investment. It also asks for comments on a number of related topics, including the character of income or loss with respect to these instruments; the relevance of factors such as the nature of the underlying property to which the instruments are linked; the degree, if any, to which income (including any mandated accruals) realized by Non-U.S. Holders should be subject to withholding tax; and whether these instruments are or should be subject to the “constructive ownership” regime, which very generally can operate to recharacterize certain long-term capital gain as ordinary income that is subject to an interest charge. While the notice requests comments on appropriate transition rules and effective dates, any Treasury regulations or other guidance promulgated after consideration of these issues could materially and adversely affect the tax consequences of an investment in the notes, possibly with retroactive effect. Both U.S. and Non-U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisers regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the notes, including possible alternative treatments and the issues presented by this notice.

Selected Risk Considerations

An investment in the notes involves significant risks. Investing in the notes is not equivalent to investing directly in the Index or any of the equity securities underlying the Index. These risks are explained in more detail in the “Risk Factors” section of the accompanying product supplement no. 39-X dated April 18, 2008 and in the “Supplemental Information — Supplemental Risk Factors” section of this amended and restated term sheet.

  • YOUR INVESTMENT IN THE NOTES MAY RESULT IN A LOSS — The notes do not guarantee any return of principal. The return on the notes at maturity is linked to the performance of the Index and will depend on whether, and the extent to which, the MSCI Far East Return is positive or negative. Your investment will be exposed on a leveraged basis to any decline in the MSCI Far East Closing Level beyond the 10% buffer as compared to the MSCI Far East Starting Level.
  • YOUR MAXIMUM GAIN ON THE NOTES IS LIMITED TO THE MAXIMUM TOTAL RETURN — If the MSCI Far East Closing Level is greater than the MSCI Far East Starting Level, for each $1,000 principal amount note, you will receive at maturity $1,000 plus an additional amount that will not exceed a predetermined percentage of the principal amount, regardless of the appreciation in the Index, which may be significant. We refer to this percentage as the Maximum Total Return, which will be set on the pricing date and will not be less than 25.00%.
  • CERTAIN BUILT-IN COSTS ARE LIKELY TO ADVERSELY AFFECT THE VALUE OF THE NOTES PRIOR TO MATURITY — While the payment at maturity described in this amended and restated term sheet is based on the full principal amount of your notes, the original issue price of the notes includes the agent’s commission and the estimated cost of hedging our obligations under the notes through one or more of our affiliates. As a result, the price, if any, at which J.P. Morgan Securities Inc., which we refer to as JPMSI, will be willing to purchase notes from you in secondary market transactions, if at all, will likely be lower than the original issue price, and any sale prior to the maturity date could result in a substantial loss to you. The notes are not designed to be short-term trading instruments. Accordingly, you should be able and willing to hold your notes to maturity.
  • NO INTEREST OR DIVIDEND PAYMENTS OR VOTING RIGHTS — As a holder of the notes, you will not receive interest payments, and you will not have voting rights or rights to receive cash dividends or other distributions or other rights that holders of securities composing the Index would have.
  • THE NOTES ARE SUBJECT TO CURRENCY EXCHANGE RISK — Because the prices of the component securities of the country indices that compose the Index are converted into U.S. dollars for purposes of calculating the value of the component country indices and the Index, your notes will be exposed to currency exchange rate risk with respect to each of the currencies in which the component securities of the Index trade. Your net exposure will depend on the extent to which such currencies strengthen or weaken against the U.S. dollar and the relative weight of the component securities in the Index denominated in each such currency. If, taking into account such weighting, the U.S. dollar strengthens against such currencies, the value of the Index will be adversely affected and the payment at maturity, if any, may be reduced.
  • LACK OF LIQUIDITY — The notes will not be listed on any securities exchange. JPMSI intends to offer to purchase the notes in the secondary market but is not required to do so. Even if there is a secondary market, it may not provide enough liquidity to allow you to trade or sell the notes easily. Because other dealers are not likely to make a secondary market for the notes, the price at which you may be able to trade your notes is likely to depend on the price, if any, at which JPMSI is willing to buy the notes.
  • POTENTIAL CONFLICTS — We and our affiliates play a variety of roles in connection with the issuance of the notes, including acting as calculation agent and hedging our obligations under the notes. In performing these duties, the economic interests of the calculation agent and other affiliates of ours are potentially adverse to your interests as an investor in the notes.
  • MANY ECONOMIC AND MARKET FACTORS WILL IMPACT THE VALUE OF THE NOTES — In addition to the level of the Index on any day, the value of the notes will be affected by a number of economic and market factors that may either offset or magnify each other, including:
    • the expected volatility of the Index;
    • the time to maturity of the notes;
    • the dividend rate on the equity securities underlying the Index;
    • interest and yield rates in the market generally as well as in the markets of the equity securities underlying the Index;
    • a variety of economic, financial, political, regulatory or judicial events;
    • the exchange rate and the volatility of the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the currencies in which securities composing the Index are traded and the correlation between that rate and the level of the Index; and
    • our creditworthiness, including actual or anticipated downgrades in our credit ratings.

Supplemental Information

      The following information supplements, and should be read in conjunction with, the information set forth in the accompanying product supplement no. 39-X.

      For purposes of the notes offered hereby, when the accompanying product supplement no. 39-X refers to an “Equity Index”, the “Equity Indices,” a “Basket Index,” the “Basket Indices,” a “Basket Component” or the “Basket Components,” each such reference is deemed to include the Index.

The MSCI AC (All Country) Far East Ex Japan Index

      We have derived all information contained in this product supplement regarding the MSCI AC (All Country) Far East ex Japan Index (the “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, MSCI Inc. (“MSCI”). We make no representation or warranty as to the accuracy or completeness of such information. The Index is calculated, maintained and published by MSCI. MSCI has no obligation to continue to publish, and may discontinue publication of, the Index.

      Transition

      On March 28, 2007, MSCI announced changes to the methodology used by MSCI to calculate its Standard and Small Cap Indices. The transition of the Standard and Small Cap Indices to the Index occurred in two phases, the first completed as of November 30, 2007 and the second completed as of May 30, 2008. The current index calculation methodology used to formulate the Index (and which is also used to formulate the indices included in the MSCI Global Index Series) (the “MSCI Global Investable Market Indices Methodology”) was implemented as of June 1, 2008.

      The MSCI AC Far East ex Japan Index

      The MSCI AC Far East ex Japan Index is a free float-adjusted market capitalization weighted index that is designed to measure the equity market performance of the Far East, excluding Japan. As of October 22, 2008 the MSCI AC Far East ex Japan Index consisted of the following 9 developed and emerging market country indices: China, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Korea, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan, and Thailand. The MSCI AC Far East ex Japan Index is reported by Bloomberg L.P. under the ticker symbol “MXFEJ.”

      Constructing the MSCI Global Investable Market Indices

      MSCI undertakes an index construction process, which involves: (i) defining the Equity Universe; (ii) determining the Market Investable Equity Universe for each market; (iii) determining market capitalization size segments for each market; (iv) applying Index Continuity Rules for the MSCI Standard Index; (v) creating style segments within each size segment within each market; and (vi) classifying securities under the Global Industry Classification Standard (the “GICS”).

      The “relevant market” with respect to a single country index is equivalent to the single country, except in DM-classified countries in Europe (as described below), where all such countries are first aggregated into a single market for index construction purposes. Subsequently, individual DM Europe country indices within the MSCI Europe Index are derived from the constituents of the MSCI Europe Index under the MSCI Global Investable Market Indices Methodology.

      The “relevant market” with respect to a composite index includes each of the single countries which comprise the composite index.

      The “Equity Universe” is the aggregation of all Market Investable Equity Universes. The “DM Investable Equity Universe” is the aggregation of all the Market Investable Equity Universes for Developed Markets.

      Defining the Equity Universe

             (i) Identifying Eligible Equity Securities: The Equity Universe initially looks at securities listed in any of the countries in the MSCI Global Index Series, which will be classified as either Developed Markets (“DM”) or Emerging Markets (“EM”). All listed equity securities, or listed securities that exhibit characteristics of equity securities, except mutual funds, exchange traded funds, equity derivatives, limited partnerships, and most investment trusts, are eligible for inclusion in the Equity Universe. Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”) in some countries and certain income trusts in Canada are also eligible for inclusion.
     
 

(ii)

Country Classification of Eligible Securities: Each company and its securities (i.e., share classes) are classified in one and only one country, which allows for a distinctive sorting of each company by its respective country.

      Determining the Market Investable Equity Universes

      A Market Investable Equity Universe for a market is derived by applying investability screens to individual companies and securities in the Equity Universe that are classified in that market. A market is equivalent to a single country, except in DM Europe, where all DM countries in Europe are aggregated into a single market for index construction purposes. Subsequently, individual DM Europe country indices within the MSCI Europe Index are derived from the constituents of the MSCI Europe Index under the Global Investable Market Indices methodology.

      The investability screens used to determine the Investable Equity Universe in each market are as follows:

            

(i)

Equity Universe Minimum Size Requirement: This investability screen is applied at the company level. In order to be included in a Market Investable Equity Universe, a company must have the required minimum full market capitalization. A company will meet this requirement if its cumulative free float-adjusted market capitalization is within the top 99% of the sorted Equity Universe.

     
 

(ii)

Equity Universe Minimum Float–Adjusted Market Capitalization Requirement: This investability screen is applied at the individual security level. To be eligible for inclusion in a Market Investable Equity Universe, a security must have a free float–adjusted market capitalization equal to or higher than 50% of the Equity Universe Minimum Size Requirement.

     
 

(iii)

DM and EM Minimum Liquidity Requirement: This investability screen is applied at the individual security level. To be eligible for inclusion in a Market Investable Equity Universe, a security must have adequate liquidity. The Annualized Traded Value Ratio (“ATVR”), a measure that offers the advantage of screening out extreme daily trading volumes and taking into account the free float–adjusted market capitalization size of securities, is used to measure liquidity. In the calculation of the ATVR, the trading volumes in depository receipts associated with that security, such as ADRs or GDRs, are also considered. A minimum liquidity level of 20% ATVR is required for inclusion of a security in a Market Investable Equity Universe of a Developed Market, and a minimum liquidity level of 15% ATVR is required for inclusion of a security in a Market Investable Equity Universe of an Emerging Market.

     
 

(iv)

Global Minimum Foreign Inclusion Factor Requirement: This investability screen is applied at the individual security level. To be eligible for inclusion in a Market Investable Equity Universe, a security’s Foreign Inclusion Factor (“FIF”) must reach a certain threshold. The FIF of a security is defined as the proportion of shares outstanding that is available for purchase in the public equity markets by international investors. This proportion accounts for the available free float of and/or the foreign ownership limits applicable to a specific security (or company). In general, a security must have an FIF equal to or larger than 0.15 to be eligible for inclusion in a Market Investable Equity Universe.

     
 

(v)

Minimum Length of Trading Requirement: This investability screen is applied at the individual security level. For an initial public offering (“IPO”) to be eligible for inclusion in a Market Investable Equity Universe, the new issue must have started trading at least four months before the implementation of the initial construction of the index or at least three months before the implementation of a Semi–Annual Index Review. This requirement is applicable to small new issues in all markets. Large IPOs are not subject to the Minimum Length of Trading Requirement and may be included in a Market Investable Equity Universe and the Standard Index outside of a Quarterly or Semi–Annual Index Review.

      Once a Market Investable Equity Universe is defined, it is segmented into the following size–based indices:

    • Investable Market Index (Large + Mid + Small)

    • Standard Index (Large + Mid)

    • Large Cap Index

    • Mid Cap Index

    • Small Cap Index

      Creating the Size Segment Indices in each market involves the following steps: (i) defining the Market Coverage Target Range for each size segment; (ii) determining the Global Minimum Size Range for each size segment; (iii) determining the Market Size–Segment Cutoffs and associated Segment Number of Companies; (iv) assigning companies to the size segments; and (v) applying final size–segment investability requirements and index continuity rules.

      Index Continuity Rules for the Standard Indices

      In order to achieve index continuity, as well as provide some basic level of diversification within a market index, notwithstanding the effect of other index construction rules, a minimum number of five constituents will be maintained for a DM Standard Index and a minimum number of three constituents will be maintained for an EM Standard Index.

      If after the application of the index construction methodology, a Standard Index contains fewer than five securities in a Developed Market or three securities in an Emerging Market, then the largest securities by free float-adjusted market capitalization are added to the Standard Index in order to reach five constituents in that Developed Market or three in that Emerging Market. At subsequent Index Reviews, if the free float-adjusted market capitalization of a non-index constituent is at least 1.50 times the free float-adjusted market capitalization of the smallest existing constituent after rebalancing, the larger free float-adjusted market capitalization security replaces the smaller one.

      Creating Style Indices within Each Size Segment

      All securities in the investable equity universe are classified into Value or Growth segments using the MSCI Global Value and Growth methodology.

      Classifying Securities under the Global Industry Classification Standard

      All securities in the Global Investable Equity Universe are assigned to the industry that best describes their business activities. To this end, MSCI has designed, in conjunction with Standard & Poor’s, the Global Industry Classification Standard. The GICS entails four levels of classification: (1) sector; (2) industry groups; (3) industries; (4) sub-industries. Under the GICS, each company is assigned uniquely to one sub–industry according to its principal business activity. Therefore, a company can belong to only one industry grouping at each of the four levels of the GICS.

      Index Maintenance

      The MSCI Global Investable Market Indices are maintained with the objective of reflecting the evolution of the underlying equity markets and segments on a timely basis, while seeking to achieve index continuity, continuous investability of constituents and replicability of the indices, and index stability and low index turnover.

      In particular, index maintenance involves:

      

(i)

Semi–Annual Index Reviews (“SAIRs”) in May and November of the Size Segment and Global Value and Growth Indices which include:

    • Updating the indices on the basis of a fully refreshed Equity Universe.

    • Taking buffer rules into consideration for migration of securities across size and style segments.

    • Updating FIFs and Number of Shares (“NOS”).

      The objective of the SAIRs is to systematically reassess the various dimensions of the Equity Universe for all markets on a fixed semi-annual timetable. A SAIR involves a comprehensive review of the Size Segment and Global Value and Growth Indices.

      

(ii)

Quarterly Index Reviews (“QIRs”) in February and August of the Size Segment Indices aimed at:

    • Including significant new eligible securities (such as IPOs that were not eligible for earlier inclusion) in the index.

    • Allowing for significant moves of companies within the Size Segment Indices, using wider buffers than in the SAIR.

    • Reflecting the impact of significant market events on FIFs and updating NOS.

 TS-6

      QIRs are designed to ensure that the indices continue to be an accurate reflection of the evolving equity marketplace. This is achieved by a timely reflection of significant market driven changes that were not captured in the index at the time of their actual occurrence but are significant enough to be reflected before the next SAIR. QIRs may result in additions or deletions due to migration to another Size Segment Index, and changes in FIFs and in NOS. Only additions of significant new investable companies are considered, and only for the Standard Index. The buffer zones used to manage the migration of companies from one segment to another are wider than those used in the SAIR. The style classification is reviewed only for companies that are reassigned to a different size segment.

      

(iii)

Ongoing event–related changes. Ongoing event-related changes to the indices are the result of mergers, acquisitions, spin-offs,bankruptcies, reorganizations and other similar corporate events. They can also result from capital reorganizations in the form of rights issues, bonus issues, public placements and other similar corporate actions that take place on a continuing basis. These changes generally are reflected in the indices at the time of the event. Significantly large IPOs are included in the indices after the close of the company’s tenth day of trading.

      Announcement Policy

      The results of the SAIRs are announced at least two weeks in advance of their effective implementation dates as of the close of the last business day of May and November. The results of the QIRs are announced at least two weeks in advance of their effective implementation dates as of the close of the last business day of February and August. All changes resulting from corporate events are announced prior to their implementation.

      The changes are typically announced at least ten business days prior to the changes becoming effective in the indices as an “expected” announcement, or as an “undetermined” announcement, when the effective dates are not known yet or when aspects of the event are uncertain. MSCI sends “confirmed” announcements at least two business days prior to events becoming effective in the indices, provided that all necessary public information concerning the event is available. The full list of all new and pending changes is delivered to clients on a daily basis, at 5:30 p.m., US Eastern Time.

      In exceptional cases, events are announced during market hours for same or next day implementation. Announcements made by MSCI during market hours are usually linked to late company disclosure of corporate events or unexpected changes to previously announced corporate events.

      In the case of secondary offerings representing more than 5% of a security’s number of shares for existing constituents, these changes will be announced prior to the end of the subscription period when possible and a subsequent announcement confirming the details of the event (including the date of implementation) will be made as soon as the results are available.

      Both primary equity offerings and secondary offerings for U.S. securities, representing at least 5% of the security’s number of shares, will be confirmed through an announcement during market hours for next day or shortly after implementation, as the completion of the events cannot be confirmed prior to the notification of the pricing.

      Early deletions of constituents due to bankruptcy or other significant cases are announced as soon as practicable prior to their implementation.

      Index Calculation

      Price Index Level

      The Index is calculated using the Laspeyres’ concept of a weighted arithmetic average together with the concept of chain-linking. As a general principle, the level of the Index level is obtained by applying the change in the market performance to the previous period level for the Index.

      Corporate Events

      Mergers and Acquisitions

      As a general principle, MSCI implements M&As as of the close of the last trading day of the acquired entity or merging entities (last offer day for tender offers), regardless of the status of the securities (index constituents or non-index constituents) involved in the event. MSCI uses market prices for implementation. This principle applies if all necessary information is available prior to the completion of the event and if the liquidity of the relevant constituent(s) is not expected to be significantly diminished on the day of implementation. Otherwise, MSCI will determine the most appropriate implementation method and announce it prior to the changes becoming effective in the indices.

      Tender Offers

      In tender offers, the acquired or merging security is generally deleted from the Index at the end of the initial offer period, when the offer is likely to be successful and / or if the free float of the security is likely to be substantially reduced (this rule is applicable even if the offer is extended), or once the results of the offer have been officially communicated and the offer has been successful and the security’s free float has been substantially reduced, if all required information is not available in advance or if the offer’s outcome is uncertain. The main factors considered by MSCI when assessing the outcome of a tender offer (not in order of importance) are: the announcement of the offer as friendly or hostile, a comparison of the offer price to the acquired security’s market price, the recommendation by the acquired company’s board of directors, the major shareholders’ stated intention whether to tender their shares, the required level of acceptance, the existence of pending regulatory approvals, market perception of the transaction, official preliminary results if any, and other additional conditions for the offer.

      If a security is deleted from an index, the security will not be reinstated immediately after its deletion even when the tender offer is subsequently declared unsuccessful and/or the free float of the security is not substantially reduced. It may be reconsidered for index inclusion in the context of a quarterly index review or annual full country index review. MSCI uses market prices for implementation.

      Late Announcements of Completion of Mergers and Acquisitions

      When the completion of an event is announced too late to be reflected as of the close of the last trading day of the acquired or merging entities, implementation occurs as of the close of the following day or as soon as practicable thereafter. In these cases, MSCI uses a calculated price for the acquired or merging entities. The calculated price is determined using the terms of the transaction and the price of the acquiring or merged entity, or, if not appropriate, using the last trading day’s market price of the acquired or merging entities.

      Conversions of Share Classes

      Conversions of a share class into another share class resulting in the deletion and/or addition of one or more classes of shares are implemented as of the close of the last trading day of the share class to be converted.

      Spin-Offs

      On the ex-date of a spin-off, a PAF is applied to the price of the security of the parent company. The PAF is calculated based on the terms of the transaction and the market price of the spun-off security. If the spun-off entity qualifies for inclusion, it is included as of the close of its first trading day. If appropriate, MSCI may link the price history of the spun-off security to a security of the parent company.

      In cases of spin-offs of partially-owned companies, the post-event free float of the spun-off entity is calculated using a weighted average of the existing shares and the spun-off shares, each at their corresponding free float. Any resulting changes to FIFs and/or DIFs are implemented as of the close of the ex-date.

      When the spun-off security does not trade on the ex-date, a “detached” security is created to avoid a drop in the free float-adjusted market capitalization of the parent entity, regardless of whether the spun-off security is added or not. The detached security is included until the spun-off security begins trading, and is deleted thereafter. Generally, the value of the detached security is equal to the difference between the cum price and the ex price of the parent security.

 TS-9

      Corporate Actions

      Corporate actions such as splits, bonus issues and rights issues, which affect the price of a security, require a price adjustment. In general, the PAF is applied on the ex-date of the event to ensure that security prices are comparable between the ex-date and the cum date. To do so, MSCI adjusts for the value of the right and/or the value of the special assets that are distributed. In general, corporate actions do not impact the free float of the securities because the distribution of new shares is carried out on a pro rata basis to all existing shareholders. Therefore, MSCI will generally not implement any pending number of shares and/or free float updates simultaneously with the event.

      If a security does not trade for any reason on the ex-date of the corporate action, the event will be generally implemented on the day the security resumes trading.

      Share Placements and Offerings

      Changes in number of shares and FIF resulting from primary equity offerings representing more than 5% of the security’s number of shares are generally implemented as of the close of the first trading day of the new shares, if all necessary information is available at that time. Otherwise, the event is implemented as soon as practicable after the relevant information is made available. A primary equity offering involves the issuance of new shares by a company. Changes in number of shares and FIF resulting from primary equity offerings representing less than 5% of the security’s number of shares are deferred to the next regularly scheduled Quarterly Index Review following the completion of the event. For public secondary offerings of existing constituents representing more than 5% of the security’s number of shares, where possible, MSCI will announce these changes and reflect them shortly after the results of the subscription are known. Secondary public offerings that, given lack of sufficient notice, were not reflected immediately will be reflected at the next Quarterly Index Review. Secondary offerings involve the distribution of existing shares of current shareholders’ in a listed company and are usually pre-announced by a company or by a company’s shareholders and open for public subscription during a pre-determined period.

      Debt-to-Equity Swaps

      In general, large debt-to-equity swaps involve the conversion of debt into equity originally not convertible at the time of issue. In this case, changes in numbers of shares and subsequent FIF and/or DIF changes are implemented as of the close of the first trading day of the newly issued shares, or shortly thereafter if all necessary information is available at the time of the swap. In general, shares issued in debt-to-equity swaps are assumed to be issued to strategic investors. As such, the post event free float is calculated on a pro forma basis assuming that all these shares are non-free float. Changes in numbers of shares and subsequent FIF and/or DIF changes due to conversions of convertible bonds or other convertible instruments, including periodical conversions of preferred stocks and small debt-to-equity swaps are implemented as part of the quarterly index review.

      Suspensions and Bankruptcies

      MSCI will remove from the MSCI Equity Index Series as soon as practicable companies that file for bankruptcy, companies that file for protection from their creditors and/or are suspended and for which a return to normal business activity and trading is unlikely in the near future. When the primary exchange price is not available, MSCI will delete securities at an over the counter or equivalent market price when such a price is available and deemed relevant. If no over the counter or equivalent price is available, the security will be deleted at the smallest price (unit or fraction of the currency) at which a security can trade on a given exchange. For securities that are suspended, MSCI will carry forward the market price prior to the suspension during the suspension period.

      The Index Is Subject to Currency Exchange Risk

      Because the prices of some or all of the stocks that make up the Index (the “Component Securities”) are converted into U.S. dollars for the purposes of calculating the value of the Index, holders of the notes will be exposed to currency exchange rate risk with respect to the currencies in which the Component Securities trade. Exposure to currency changes will depend on the extent to which such currencies strengthen or weaken against the U.S. dollar and the relative weight of the Component Securities in the Index denominated in each such currency. The devaluation of the U.S. dollar against the currencies in which the Component Securities trade will result in an increase in the value of the Index. Conversely, if the U.S. dollar strengthens against such currencies, the value of the Index will be adversely affected and may reduce or eliminate the payment at maturity, if any, on the notes. Fluctuations in currency exchange rates can have a continuing impact on the value of the Index, and any negative currency impact on the Index may significantly decrease the value of the notes. The return on an index composed of the Component Securities where the closing price is not converted into U.S. dollars can be significantly different from the return on the Index, which are converted into U.S. dollars.

      License Agreement with MSCI

      MSCI and J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. have entered into a non-exclusive license agreement providing for the sub-license to us, and certain of our affiliated or subsidiary companies, in exchange for a fee, of the right to use the Index, which is owned and published by MSCI, in connection with certain securities, including the notes.

Supplemental Risk Factors

      The following risk factors supplement, and should be read in conjunction with, the risk factors set forth in the accompanying product supplement no. 39-X under “Risk Factors.”

The notes will be subject to currency exchange risk.

      Because the prices of some or all of the Component Securities are converted into U.S. dollars for the purposes of calculating the value of the Index, holders of the notes will be exposed to currency exchange rate risk with respect to the currencies in which the Component Securities trade. Exposure to currency changes will depend on the extent to which such currencies strengthen or weaken against the U.S. dollar and the relative weight of the Component Securities in the Index denominated in each such currency. An investor’s net exposure will depend on the extent to which such currencies strengthen or weaken against the U.S. dollar and the relative weight of the Component Securities denominated in each such currency. If, taking into account such weighting, the U.S. dollar strengthens against such currencies, the value of the Index will be adversely affected and the payment at maturity of the notes 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 the component countries and the United States of America.

      All of these factors are in turn sensitive to the monetary, fiscal and trade policies pursued by the governments of various component countries and the United States and other countries important to international trade and finance. See also “The MSCI AC (All Country) Far East ex Japan Index — The Index Is Subject to Currency Exchange Risk.”

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

      The exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and each of the currencies in which the Component Securities are denominated refers to a foreign exchange spot rate that measures the relative values of two currencies — the particular currency in which a Component Security is denominated and the U.S. dollar. This exchange rate reflects the amount of the particular currency in which a Component Security is denominated that can be purchased for one U.S. dollar and thus increases when the U.S. dollar appreciates relative to the particular currency upon which a Component Security is denominated. The volatility of the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and each of the currencies in which the Component Securities are denominated refer to the size and frequency of changes in that exchange rate.

      Because the Index are calculated, in part, by converting the closing prices of the Component Securities into U.S. dollars, the volatility of the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and each of the currencies in which the Component Securities are denominated could affect the market value of the notes.

      The correlation of the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and each of the currencies in which the Component Securities are denominated and the level of the Index refer to the relationship between the percentage changes in that exchange rate and the percentage changes in the level of the Index. 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 each of the currencies in which the Component Securities are denominated and the percentage changes in the level of the Index could affect the value of the notes.

 TS-11

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

      The stocks that compose the Index have been issued by non-U.S. companies. Investments in securities linked to the value of such non-U.S. equity securities involve risks associated with the securities markets in those countries, including risks of volatility in those markets, 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 Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), and generally non-U.S. companies are 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. jurisdictions 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 and other foreign laws or restrictions. Moreover, the economies in 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 economies of emerging market countries in particular face several concerns, including the relatively unstable governments which may present the risks of nationalization of businesses, restrictions on foreign ownership and prohibitions on the repatriation of assets, and which may have less protection of property rights than more developed countries. These economies may also be based on only a few industries, be highly vulnerable to changes in local and global trade conditions and may suffer from extreme and volatile debt burdens or inflation rates. In addition, local securities markets may trade a small number of securities and may be unable to respond effectively to increases in trading volume, potentially making prompt liquidation of holdings difficult or impossible at times.

      Some or all of these factors may influence the closing level of the Index. 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 based on its historical performance. The value of the Index may decrease such that you may not receive any return of your investment. There can be no assurance that the closing level of the Index will not decrease so that at maturity, you will not lose some or all of your investment.
