due May 11, 2010

General

  • The notes are designed for investors who seek a return of two times the appreciation of an equally weighted diversified basket of 15 common stocks up to a maximum total return on the notes that will not be less than 21.00%* or greater than 23.00%* at maturity. Investors should be willing to forgo interest and dividend payments and, if the Basket declines, be willing to lose some or all of their principal.
  • For information on the methodology of the selection of the common stocks included in the Basket, please see Annex A to this term sheet.
  • Senior unsecured obligations of JPMorgan Chase & Co. maturing May 11, 2010.

  • The notes are expected to price on or about November 6, 2008 and are expected to settle on or about November 12, 2008.

Key Terms

Basket:

The Basket consists of 15 common stocks (each, a “Basket Stock” and collectively, the “Basket Stocks”). The Basket Stocks and the Bloomberg ticker symbol, the Stock Weighting and the Initial Share Price of each Basket Stock are set forth under “The Basket” on page TS-1 of this term sheet.

Upside Leverage Factor:

2

Payment at Maturity:

If the Ending Basket Level is greater than the Starting Basket Level, you will receive a cash payment that provides you with a return per $1,000 principal amount note equal to the Basket Return multiplied by two, subject to the Maximum Total Return on the notes, which will not be less than 21.00%* or greater than 23.00%*. For example, assuming the Maximum Total Return is 21.00%, if the Basket Return is more than 10.50%, you will receive the Maximum Total Return on the notes of 21.00%*, which entitles you to a maximum payment at maturity of $1,210* for every $1,000 principal amount note that you hold. Accordingly, if the Basket Return is positive, your payment at maturity per $1,000 principal amount note will be calculated as follows, subject to the Maximum Total Return:

$1,000 + ($1,000 x Basket Return x 2)

*The actual Maximum Total Return on the notes will be set on the pricing date and will not be less than 21.00% or greater than 23.00%, and accordingly, the actual maximum payment at maturity will not be less than $1,210 or greater than $1,230 per principal amount note.

 

Your investment will be fully exposed to any decline in the Basket. If the Ending Basket Level declines from the Starting Basket Level, you will lose 1% of the principal amount of your notes for every 1% that the Basket declines beyond the Starting Basket Level. Accordingly, if the Basket Return is negative, your payment at maturity per $1,000 principal amount note will be calculated as follows:

 

$1,000 + ($1,000 x Basket Return)

 

You will lose some or all of your investment at maturity if the Ending Basket Level declines from the Starting Basket Level.

Basket Return:

Ending Basket Level – Starting Basket Level
               Starting Basket Level

Starting Basket Level:

Set equal to 100 on the pricing date.

Ending Basket Level:

The Basket Closing Level on the Observation Date.

Basket Closing Level:

The Basket Closing Level on the Observation Date will be calculated as follows:

100 x [1 + the sum of the Stock Returns of each Basket Stock on the Observation Date x (1/15)]

Stock Return:

With respect to each Basket Stock, on the Observation Date:

Final Share Price – Initial Share Price
             
Initial Share Price

Initial Share Price:

With respect to each Basket Stock, the closing price of one share of such Basket Stock on the Pricing Date.

Final Share Price:

With respect to each Basket Stock, the closing price of one share of such Basket Stock on the Observation Date times the Stock Adjustment Factor for such Basket Stock on such day.

Stock Adjustment Factor:

With respect to each Basket Stock, 1.0 on the pricing date and subject to adjustment under certain circumstances. See “Description of Notes — Payment at Maturity” and “General Terms of Notes — Anti-Dilution Adjustments” in the accompanying product supplement no. 133-I for further information.

Observation Date:

May 6, 2010

Maturity Date:

May 11, 2010

CUSIP:

48123LUJ1

Subject to postponement in the event of a market disruption event and as described under “Description of Notes — Payment at Maturity” in the accompanying product supplement no. 133-I.

Investing in the Return Enhanced Notes involves a number of risks. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page PS-8 of the accompanying product supplement no. 133-I and “Selected Risk Considerations” beginning on page TS-2 of this term sheet.

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 term sheet or the accompanying prospectus supplements and prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

If the notes priced today and assuming a Maximum Total Return of 21.00%, J.P. Morgan Securities Inc., which we refer to as JPMSI, acting as agent for JPMorgan Chase & Co., would receive a commission of approximately $40.00 per $1,000 principal amount note and would use a portion of that commission to pay selling concessions to other dealers of approximately $15.00 per $1,000 principal amount note.  This commission includes the projected profits that our affiliates expect to realize in consideration for assuming risks inherent in hedging our obligations under the notes.  The actual commission received by JPMSI may be less than $40.00 and will depend on market conditions on the pricing date. In no event will the commission received by JPMSI, which includes concessions that may be paid to other dealers, exceed $40.00 per $1,000 principal amount note. See “Underwriting” beginning on page PS-34 of the accompanying product supplement no. 133-I.

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.

* The Initial Share Price of each Basket Stock will be determined on the pricing date.

Selected Purchase Considerations

  • APPRECIATION POTENTIAL — The notes provide the opportunity to enhance equity returns by multiplying a positive Basket Return by two, up to the Maximum Total Return on the notes. The actual Maximum Total Return on the notes will be set on the pricing date and will not be less than 21.00% or greater than 23.00%, and accordingly, the actual maximum payment at maturity will not be less than $1,210 or greater than $1,230 per principal amount note. 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.
  • RETURN LINKED TO AN EQUALLY WEIGHTED BASKET OF 15 BASKET STOCKS — The return on the notes is linked to the performance of an equally weighted Basket, which consists of 15 Basket Stocks. These Basket Stocks are the common stocks of Baxter International Inc., CA, Inc., Colgate-Palmolive Company, Devon Energy Corporation, General Mills, Inc., Gilead Sciences, Inc., Google Inc., Hewlett-Packard Company, McDonald’s Corporation, 3M Company, Monsanto Company, Merck & Co., Inc., Nucor Corporation, Philip Morris International Inc. and Union Pacific Corporation.

  • CAPITAL GAINS TAX TREATMENT — You should review carefully the section entitled “Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” in the accompanying product supplement no. 133-I. Subject to the limitations described therein, and based on certain factual representations received from us, in the opinion of our special tax counsel, Davis Polk & Wardwell, it is reasonable to treat 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 Basket Stocks. These risks are explained in more detail in the “Risk Factors” section of the accompanying product supplement no. 133-I dated April 25, 2008.

  • 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 Basket and will depend on whether, and the extent to which, the Basket Return is positive or negative. Your investment will be fully exposed to any decline in the Ending Basket Level, as compared to the Starting Basket Level.
  • YOUR MAXIMUM GAIN ON THE NOTES IS LIMITED TO THE MAXIMUM TOTAL RETURN — If the Ending Basket Level is greater than the Starting Basket 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 Basket, 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 21.00% or greater than 23.00%.
  • CHANGES IN THE VALUE OF THE BASKET STOCKS MAY OFFSET EACH OTHER — The notes are linked to an equally weighted Basket consisting of 15 Basket Stocks. Price movements in the Basket Stocks may not correlate with each other. At a time when the value of some of the Basket Stocks increase, the value of other Basket Stocks may not increase as much or may even decline in value. Therefore, in calculating the Ending Basket Level, increases in the value of some of the Basket Stocks may be moderated, or more than offset, by lesser increases or declines in the value of the other Basket Stocks.
  • NO OWNERSHIP RIGHTS IN THE BASKET STOCKS As a holder of the notes, you will not have any ownership interest or rights in any of the Basket Stocks, such as voting rights or dividend payments. In addition, the issuers of the Basket Stocks will not have any obligation to consider your interests as a holder of the notes in taking any corporate action that might affect the value of the relevant Basket Stocks and the notes.
  • NO AFFILIATION WITH THE BASKET STOCK ISSUERS — We are not affiliated with the issuers of the Basket Stocks. We assume no responsibility for the adequacy of the information about the Basket Stock issuers contained in this term sheet. You should make your own investigation into the Basket Stocks and their issuers. We are not responsible for the Basket Stock issuers’ public disclosure of information, whether contained in SEC filings or otherwise.
  • CERTAIN BUILT-IN COSTS ARE LIKELY TO ADVERSELY AFFECT THE VALUE OF THE NOTES PRIOR TO MATURITY — While the payment at maturity, if any, described in this term sheet is based on the full principal amount of your notes, the original issue price of the notes includes the agent’s commission and the estimated cost of hedging our obligations under the notes through one or more of our affiliates. As a result, and as a general matter, the price, if any, at which 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. This secondary market price will also be affected by a number of factors aside from the agent’s commission and hedging costs, including those set forth under “Many Economic and Market Factors Will Impact the Value of the Notes” below.
    The notes are not designed to be short-term trading instruments. Accordingly, you should be able and willing to hold your notes to maturity.
  • 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. 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. We and/or our affiliates may also currently or from time to time engage in business with the Basket Stock issuers, including extending loans to, or making equity investments in, such Basket Stock issuer(s) or providing advisory services to such Basket Stock issuer(s). In addition, one or more of our affiliates may publish research reports or otherwise express opinions with respect to the Basket Stock issuers and these reports may or may not recommend that investors buy or hold the Basket Stock(s). As a prospective purchaser of the notes, you should undertake an independent investigation of the applicable Basket Stock issuer that in your judgment is appropriate to make an informed decision with respect to an investment in the notes.
  • HEDGING AND TRADING IN THE BASKET STOCKS — While the notes are outstanding, we or any of our affiliates may carry out hedging activities related to the notes, including in the Basket Stocks or instruments related to one or more of the Basket Stocks. We or our affiliates may also trade in the Basket Stocks or instruments related to either or both of the Basket Stocks from time to time. Any of these hedging or trading activities as of the Pricing Date and during the term of the notes could adversely affect our payment to you at maturity.
  • ANTI-DILUTION PROTECTION IS LIMITED — The calculation agent will make adjustments to the Stock Adjustment Factor for each Basket Stock to reflect certain events affecting such Basket Stock. However, the calculation agent will not make an adjustment in response to all events that could affect the Basket Stocks. 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” in the accompanying product supplement no. 133-I for further information.
  • MANY ECONOMIC AND MARKET FACTORS WILL INFLUENCE THE VALUE OF THE NOTES In addition to the closing price of the Basket Stock 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 in the Basket Stocks;
    • the time to maturity of the notes;
    • the dividend rates paid on the Basket Stocks;
    • interest and yield rates in the market generally;
    • a variety of economic, financial, political, regulatory or judicial events;
    • the occurrence of certain events affecting the issuer(s) of the Basket Stock(s) that may or may not require an adjustment to the Stock Adjustment Factor, including a merger or acquisition; and
    • our creditworthiness, including actual or anticipated downgrades in our credit ratings.

What Is the Total Return on the Notes at Maturity Assuming a Range of Performance for the Basket?

The following table illustrates the hypothetical total return at maturity on the notes. The “total return” as used in this term sheet is the number, expressed as a percentage, that results from comparing the payment at maturity per $1,000 principal amount note to $1,000. The hypothetical total returns set forth below assume a Maximum Total Return on the notes of 21.00%. The actual Maximum Total Return will be set on the pricing date and will not be less than 21.00% or greater 23.00%. The hypothetical total returns set forth below are for illustrative purposes only and may not be the actual total returns applicable to a purchaser of the notes. The numbers appearing in the following table and examples have been rounded for ease of analysis.

Hypothetical Examples of Amounts Payable at Maturity

The following examples illustrate how the total returns set forth in the table on the previous page are calculated.

Example 1: The level of the Basket increases from the Starting Basket Level of 100 to an Ending Basket Level of 105. Because the Ending Basket Level of 105 is greater than the Starting Basket Level of 100 and the Basket Return of 5% multiplied by 2 does not exceed the hypothetical Maximum Total Return of 21.00%, 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 Basket increases from the Starting Basket Level of 100 to an Ending Basket Level of 120. Because the Ending Basket Level of 120 is greater than the Starting Basket Level of 100 and the Basket Return of 20% multiplied by 2 exceeds the hypothetical Maximum Total Return of 21.00%, the investor receives a payment at maturity of $1,210 per $1,000 principal amount note, the maximum payment on the notes.

Example 3: The level of the Basket decreases from the Starting Basket Level of 100 to an Ending Basket Level of 80. Because the Ending Basket Level of 80 is less than the Starting Basket Level of 100, the Basket Return is negative and the investor receives a payment at maturity of $800 per $1,000 principal amount note, calculated as follows:

$1,000 + ($1,000 x -20%) = $800

ANNEX A


The J.P. Morgan U.S. Franchise List Sub-Basket

The collective turbulence from the seizure in credit markets, weakening economic outlook, and battered equity markets have most likely put fundamental analysis on the back burner for many investors. However, for investors with investment horizons that stretch beyond the current turmoil in the markets, J.P. Morgan’s North America Equity Research believes that fundamental analysis remains an important component of an investment framework.

The J.P. Morgan U.S. Franchise List Basket (the “U.S. Franchise List Basket”) is a select group of stocks that J.P. Morgan North America Equity Research sees as core investments over the next 12-18 months. The J.P. Morgan U.S. Franchise List Sub-Basket (the “Sub-Basket”) is a subset of fifteen stocks from the U.S. Franchise List Basket and is equally-weighted. The selection of the U.S. Franchise List Basket was based on a combination of quantitative analysis and fundamental analysis (which is qualitative and subjective). To be included in this basket, companies (1) must possess a combination of stable financial characteristics as measured by several quantitative factors developed by our equity research analysts and (2) must be viewed by our equity research analysts as outperformers during the global weakness envisioned over the next year. The process for selecting the stocks in the U.S. Franchise List Basket is outlined below.

The stocks in the U.S. Franchise List Basket were selected based on the following criteria: Universe of stocks

  • Substantial financial resources. Limited financial risk as measured by low leverage. Companies were ranked on net current assets (as a percentage of stock price) and debt to equity, and limited to those ranking in the top deciles among 1,200 U.S. stocks.

  • Actual cash return to shareholders. Companies were ranked on either dividend yield or stock buyback yield and the selection was limited to companies whose cash return was in the top deciles.

  • Profitability of business model. The margin profile of companies is key. The focus was on companies with high free cash yields as well as high net income margins and those selected ranked in the top deciles.

  • Outperforming in a weakening global economy. Our equity research analysts provided companies that they viewed as capable of outperforming a weakening global economy. These companies needed some combination of pricing power, market dominance, counter-cyclical profile, revenue visibility, or a secular story outweighing the cyclical. In other words, our equity research analysts needed to have conviction on the fundamental story for the stock.



The Composition of the J.P. Morgan U.S. Franchise List Sub-Basket

Select Risk Factors

J.P. Morgan research analysts will conduct research and provide recommendations without regard to your interests

J.P. Morgan research analysts conduct research and provide recommendations with respect to all of the U.S. Franchise List Basket and Sub-Basket stocks. They will do so without regard to the interests of any investors in any securities linked to the U.S. Franchise List Basket or Sub-Basket and without regard to the impact such research or recommendations may have on the value of any such securities. Changes in J.P. Morgan’s research recommendations at any time, including decisions to downgrade any or all of the U.S. Franchise List Basket or the Sub-Basket stocks, may adversely affect the market price of any such U.S. Franchise List Basket or Sub-Basket stocks and any such securities.

We cannot predict the performance of the U.S. Franchise List Basket or the Sub-Basket

The stocks included in the U.S. Franchise List Basket and the Sub-Basket are identified by J.P. Morgan North America Equity Research as core investments for the current market environment. These stocks are selected based on both quantitative and qualitative criteria. There is a discretionary and subjective component in this selection process by J.P. Morgan North America Equity Research. J.P. Morgan cannot predict whether the U.S. Franchise List Basket or the Sub-Basket will outperform in a weakening global economy.

While the process for selecting the U.S. Franchise List Sub-Basket would be expected to identify different stocks if applied at different times, the Sub-Basket will be a static basket and will not change over the term of the securities

The stocks comprising the Sub-Basket will be set on or before the pricing date of any securities. However, the application of the quantitative and fundamental analysis used to select the Sub-Basket would be expected to identify different stocks when applied at other times. Therefore, you should base any investment decision solely on your assessment of the components of the Sub-Basket at the time you purchase any securities. The composition of the Sub-Basket, upon which the performance of any securities is based, will remain static for the entire term of any such securities, except in limited circumstances relating to corporate events affecting the components of the Sub-Basket. The Sub-Basket will not change to reflect any additions to or deletions from its components that would have been made if the fundamental and quantitative analysis were applied at a different time or using different assumptions, or if there were variations to the fundamental or quantitative methodology.

The Sub-Basket is currently relatively concentrated in specific sectors of the economy

The companies included in the Sub-Basket as of October 20, 2008 are relatively concentrated in certain sectors of the economy, including Healthcare, Technology, Consumer Staples, Industrials and Materials. Consequently, the value of any securities linked to the Sub-Basket may be subject to greater volatility and be more adversely affected by a single economic, political or regulatory occurrence.

No ownership rights in the Sub-Basket stocks

As a holder of any securities linked to the Sub-Basket stocks, you will not have any ownership interest or rights in any of the Sub-Basket stocks, such as voting rights or dividend payments. In addition, the issuers of the Sub-Basket stocks will not have any obligation to consider your interests as a holder of any such securities in taking any corporate action that might affect the value of the relevant Sub-Basket stocks and any such securities.

J.P. Morgan is not affiliated with the issuers of the Sub-Basket stocks

J.P. Morgan is not affiliated with any of the issuers of the Sub-Basket stocks and the issuers of the Sub-Basket stocks are not involved in the creation of the U.S. Franchise List Basket or the Sub-Basket in any way. Consequently, J.P. Morgan has no ability to control the actions of the issuers of the Sub-Basket stocks, including any corporate actions of the type that would require any adjustment to the weighting of the Sub-Basket stocks. The issuers of the Sub-Basket stocks have no obligation to consider the interests of an investor in any securities linked to the U.S. Franchise List Basket or Sub-Basket in taking any corporate actions that might affect the value of any such securities.



J.P. Morgan may engage in business with or involving one or more of the issuers of the Sub-Basket stocks without regard to your interests

J.P. Morgan or its affiliates may presently or from time to time engage in business with one or more of the issuers of the Sub-Basket stocks without regard to the interests of investors in any securities linked to the U.S. Franchise List Basket or Sub-Basket, including extending loans to, or making equity investments in, one or more of the issuers of the Sub-Basket stocks or their affiliates or subsidiaries or providing advisory services to one or more of the issuers of the Sub-Basket stocks, such as merger and acquisition advisory services. In the course of J.P. Morgan’s business, it or its affiliates may acquire non-public information about one or more of the issuers of the Sub-Basket stocks. Neither J.P. Morgan nor any of its affiliates undertakes to disclose any such information to you. In addition, J.P. Morgan or its affiliates from time to time have published and in the future may publish research reports with respect to the Sub-Basket stocks. These research reports may or may not recommend that investors buy or hold the Sub-Basket stocks. Furthermore, the composition of the Sub-Basket will not be affected by any change that J.P. Morgan or its affiliates may make in its recommendations or decisions to begin or discontinue coverage of any of the issuers of the Sub-Basket stocks in its research reports.

Changes in the value of one or more of the Sub-Basket stocks may offset each other

Price movements in the Sub-Basket stocks may not correlate with each other. At a time when the value of one or more of the Sub-Basket stocks increases, the value of one or more of the other Sub-Basket stocks may not increase as much or may decline in value. Therefore, in calculating the daily performance of the Sub-Basket, increases in the value of one or more of the Sub-Basket stocks may be moderated, or wholly offset, by lesser increases or declines in the value of other Sub-Basket stocks.
