Key Terms

Index:	The S&P 500® Index (“SPX”) (the “Index”)
Upside Leverage Factor:	2
Payment at Maturity:	If the Ending Index Level is greater than the Initial Index Level, at maturity you will receive a cash payment that provides you with a return per $1,000 principal amount note equal to the Index Return multiplied by two, subject to a Maximum Total Return on the notes which will not be less than 20%* or greater than 22%*. For example, assuming the Maximum Total Return is 20%*, if the Index Return is equal to or greater than 10%**, you will receive the Maximum Total Return on the notes of 20%*, which entitles you to a maximum payment at maturity of $1,200* for every $1,000 principal amount note that you hold. Accordingly, if the Index 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 (Index Return x 2)] *The actual Maximum Total Return will be set on the pricing date and will not be less than 20% or greater than 22%. Accordingly, the actual maximum payment at maturity per $1,000 principal amount note will not be less than $1,200 or greater than $1,220.
	Your principal is protected against up to a 10%** decline of the Index at maturity. If the Ending Index Level is equal to or declines from the Initial Index Level by up to 10%**, you will receive the principal amount of your notes at maturity. If the Ending Index Level declines from the Initial Index Level by more than 10%**, you will lose 1% of the principal amount of your notes for every 1% that the Index declines beyond 10%** and your payment at maturity per $1,000 principal amount note will be calculated as follows:
	$1,000 + [$1,000 x (Index Return + 10%**)]
	If the Ending Index Level declines from the Initial Index Level by more than 10%**, you could lose up to $900** per $1,000 principal amount note.
Buffer Amount:	**The actual Buffer Amount will be set on the pricing date and will not be less than 10% or greater than 11%. Accordingly, the actual minimum payment at maturity per $1,000 principal amount note will not be less than $100 or more than $110 per $1,000 principal amount note.
Index Return:	Ending Index Level – Initial Index Level                 Initial Index Level
Initial Index Level:	The Index closing level on the pricing date, which is expected to be on or about July 9, 2010.
Ending Index Level:	The Index closing level on the Observation Date.
Observation Date:	January 9, 2012†
Maturity Date:	January 12, 2012†
CUSIP:	48124AVZ7

Selected Purchase Considerations

• APPRECIATION POTENTIAL — The notes provide the opportunity to enhance equity returns by multiplying a positive Index Return by two, up to the Maximum Total Return on the notes. The actual Maximum Total Return will be set on the pricing date and will not be less than 20% or greater than 22%. Accordingly, the actual maximum payment at maturity will not be less than $1,200 or greater than $1,220 per $1,000 principal amount note. The notes may be appropriate for investors anticipating moderate appreciation in the Index during the term of the notes and those seeking to enhance returns through leverage within the specified range of performance in exchange for a Maximum Total Return. 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 Ending Index Level, as compared to the Initial Index Level, of up to the Buffer Amount of between 10% and 11% applicable to the notes. The actual Buffer Amount will be set on the pricing Date and will not be less than 10% or greater than 11%. If the Ending Index Level declines by more than the Buffer Amount, for every 1% decline of the Index beyond the Buffer Amount, you will lose an amount equal to 1% of the principal amount of your notes. Accordingly, the notes will outperform the Index on the downside by virtue of the buffer and you will receive a minimum payment at maturity that will not be less than $100 or greater than $110 per $1,000 principal amount note at maturity, depending on the Buffer Amount.
• DIVERSIFICATION OF THE S&P 500^® INDEX — The return on the notes is linked to the S&P 500^® Index. The S&P 500^® Index consists of 500 component stocks selected to provide a performance benchmark for the U.S. equity markets. For additional information about the Index, see the information set forth under “The S&P 500^® Index” in the accompanying product supplement no. 39-A-VI.
• 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-A-VI. Based on the opinion of our special tax counsel, Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, provided in the accompanying product supplement, we believe that it is reasonable to treat, and we and you agree to treat, the notes as “open transactions” for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Assuming this characterization is respected, the gain or loss on your notes should be treated as long-term capital gain or loss if you hold your 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, in 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. Non-U.S. Holders should also note that they may be withheld upon at a rate of up to

30% unless they have submitted a properly completed IRS Form W-8BEN or otherwise satisfied the applicable documentation requirements.

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 in any of the component securities of the Index. These risks are explained in more detail in the “Risk Factors” section of the accompanying product supplement no. 39-A-VI dated February 22, 2010.

• YOUR INVESTMENT IN THE NOTES MAY RESULT IN A LOSS — The notes do not guarantee any return of principal in excess of $100 per $1,000 principal amount note (assuming a Buffer Amount of 10%). 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 Index Return is positive or negative. Your investment will be exposed to any decline in the Ending Index Level, as compared to the Initial Index Level, beyond a Buffer Amount that will be determined on the pricing date and will not be less than 10% or greater than 11%. Accordingly, assuming a Buffer Amount of 10%, you could lose up to $900 for each $1,000 principal amount note that you invest in.
  
  The actual Buffer Amount will be set on the pricing date and will not be less than 10% or greater than 11%. Accordingly, the actual minimum payment at maturity per $1,000 principal amount note will not be less than $100 or more than $110 per $1,000 principal amount note, corresponding to a loss of $900 or $890 per $1,000 principal amount note at maturity, respectively.
• YOUR MAXIMUM GAIN ON THE NOTES IS LIMITED TO THE MAXIMUM TOTAL RETURN — If the Ending Index Level is greater than the Initial Index 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 20% or greater than 22%.
• CREDIT RISK OF JPMORGAN CHASE & CO. — The notes are subject to the credit risk of JPMorgan Chase & Co. and our credit ratings and credit spreads may adversely affect the market value of the notes. Payment on the notes is dependent on JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s ability to pay the amount due on the notes at maturity, and therefore your payment on the notes is subject to our credit risk and to changes in the market’s view of our creditworthiness. Any decline in our credit ratings or increase in the credit spreads charged by the market for taking our credit risk is likely to adversely affect the value of 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.
• 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 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• WE ARE CURRENTLY ONE OF THE COMPANIES THAT MAKE UP THE INDEX — We are currently one of the companies that make up the Index. To our knowledge, we are not currently affiliated with any other issuers the equity securities of which are included in the Index. We 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 Index and 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;

• a variety of economic, financial, political, regulatory and judicial events; 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 Index?

The following table, graph and examples illustrate the hypothetical total return at maturity on the notes. The Ending Index Level used to calculate the Index Return is not subject to any tracking error. 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 an Initial Index Level of 1030, a Buffer Amount of 10% and a Maximum Total Return of 20%. The actual Maximum Total Return and the actual Buffer Amount will be set on the pricing date and will not be less than 20% or greater than 22%. 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, graph and in the examples on the following page have been rounded for ease of analysis.

The following graph demonstrates the hypothetical total return on the notes at maturity for a sub-set of the Index Returns detailed in the table above (-30% to 30%). Your investment may result in a loss of up to 90% of your principal at maturity (assuming a Buffer Amount, to be determined on the pricing date, of 10%).

Buffered Return Enhanced Notes Linked to the S&P 500^® Index
Total Return at Maturity

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 Index increases from the Initial Index Level of 1030 to an Ending Index Level of 1081.50. Because the Ending Index Level of 1081.50 is greater than the Initial Index Level of 1030 and the Index Return of 5% multiplied by 2 does not exceed the hypothetical Maximum Total Return of 20%, 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 Initial Index Level of 1030 to an Ending Index Level of 927. Although the Index Return is negative, because the Ending Index Level of 927 is less than the Initial Index Level of 1030 by not more than the hypothetical 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 Initial Index Level of 1030 to an Ending Index Level of 1236. Because the Ending Index Level of 1236 is greater than the Initial Index Level of 1030 and the Index Return of 20% multiplied by 2 exceeds the hypothetical Maximum Total Return of 20%, the investor receives a payment at maturity of $1,200 per $1,000 principal amount note, the maximum payment on the notes.

Example 4: The level of the Index decreases from the Initial Index Level of 1030 to an Ending Index Level of 721. Because the Index Return is negative and the Ending Index Level of 721 is less than the Initial Index Level of 1030 by more than the hypothetical Buffer Amount of 10%, the investor receives a payment at maturity of $800 per $1,000 principal amount note, calculated as follows:

$1,000 + [$1,000 x (-30% + 10%)] = $800

Example 5: The level of the Index decreases from the Initial Index Level of 1030 to an Ending Index Level of 0. Because the Index Return is negative and the Ending Index Level of 0 is less than the Initial Index Level of 1030 by more than the hypothetical Buffer Amount of 10%, the investor receives a payment at maturity of $100 per $1,000 principal amount note, which reflects the principal protection provided by the hypothetical Buffer Amount of 10%, calculated as follows:

$1,000 + [$1,000 x (-100% + 10%)] = $100
