Supplemental Information Relating to the Terms of the Notes

For purposes of the notes:

1.     Notwithstanding the description of Interest Rate in the accompanying product supplement no. 165-A-I, in no event will the Interest Rate be greater than the Maximum Interest Rate of 7.25% per annum.

2.     The following sentence will replace the last sentence of the first paragraph under “General Terms of Notes — Payment Upon an Event of Default” in the accompanying product supplement no. 165-A-I:

“In such case, interest will be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days in such adjusted Interest Period and will be based on the Interest Rate on the Determination Date immediately preceding such adjusted Interest Period.”

Selected Purchase Considerations

• PRESERVATION OF CAPITAL AT MATURITY — At maturity, you will receive your initial investment in the notes back if the notes are held to maturity, regardless of 3-Month USD LIBOR during the term of the notes. 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.
• QUARTERLY INTEREST PAYMENTS — With respect to each Interest Period, a rate per annum equal to 3-Month USD LIBOR on each applicable Determination Date, plus 1.00%, provided that such rate will not be greater than the Maximum Interest Rate of 7.25% per annum or less than the Minimum Interest Rate of 3.00% per annum. Interest will be payable quarterly in arrears on the 20^th calendar day of each February, May, August and November commencing November 20, 2010, to and including the Maturity Date. Interest will be payable to the holders of record at the close of business on the date that is fifteen (15) calendar days prior to the applicable Interest Payment Date. The quarterly interest payments are affected by, and contingent upon, 3-Month USD LIBOR, subject to the Maximum Interest Rate and the Minimum Interest Rate. The yield on the notes may be less than the overall return you would receive from a conventional debt security that you could purchase today with the same maturity as the notes. If an Interest Payment Date is not a Business Day, payment will be made on the immediately following Business Day.
• TAX TREATMENT — You should review carefully the section entitled “Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” in the accompanying product supplement no. 165-A-I. Subject to the limitations described in the accompanying product supplement, and based on certain factual representations received from us, in the opinion of our special tax counsel, Sidley Austin LLP, the notes should be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as “variable rate debt instruments”. We and you, by virtue of purchasing the notes, agree to treat the notes as variable rate debt instruments. Accordingly, interest paid on the notes should generally be taxable to you as ordinary interest income at the time it accrues or is received in accordance with your regular method of accounting for U.S. federal income tax purposes. In general, gain or loss realized on the sale, exchange or other disposition of the notes will be capital gain or loss.
  Subject to certain assumptions and representations received from us, the discussion in this section entitled “Tax Treatment”, when read in combination with the section entitled “Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” in the accompanying product supplement no. 165-A-I, constitutes the full opinion of Sidley Austin LLP regarding the material U.S. federal income tax treatment of owning and disposing of the notes.

Selected Risk Considerations

• THE AMOUNT OF EACH QUARTERLY INTEREST PAYMENT MAY BE BASED ON THE MINIMUM INTEREST RATE OF 3.00% PER ANNUM — You will receive an interest payment for the applicable Interest Period based on a rate per annum equal to 3-Month USD LIBOR, plus 1.00%, subject to the Minimum Interest Rate of 3.00% per annum and the Maximum Interest Rate of 7.25% per annum. Therefore, if 3-Month USD LIBOR is less than or equal to 2.00% for any Interest Period, the Interest Rate on your notes for such Interest Period will be equal to the Minimum Interest Rate of 3.00% per annum.
• FLOATING RATE NOTES DIFFER FROM FIXED RATE NOTES — The rate of interest paid by us on the notes for each Interest Period will be equal to 3-Month USD LIBOR plus 1.00% subject to the Minimum Interest

JPMorgan Structured Investments —
Floating Rate Notes Linked to 3-Month USD LIBOR  TS-1

Rate and the Maximum Interest Rate, which may be less than returns otherwise payable on debt securities issued by us with similar maturities. In no case will the Interest Rate for any quarterly Interest Period be less than the Minimum Interest Rate of 3.00% per annum or greater than the Maximum Interest Rate of 7.25% per annum. You should consider, among other things, the overall potential annual percentage rate of interest to maturity of the notes as compared to other investment alternatives. Interest with respect to any Interest Period may be equal to 3.00% per annum, and you will not be compensated for any loss in value due to inflation and other factors relating to the value of money over time during such period.
• THE INTEREST RATE ON THE NOTES IS BASED ON 3-MONTH USD LIBOR OVER WHICH WE HAVE NO CONTROL — 3-Month USD LIBOR may be influenced by a number of factors, including (but not limited to) monetary policies, fiscal policies, inflation, general economic conditions and public expectations with respect to such factors. The effect that any single factor may have on 3-Month USD LIBOR may be partially offset by other factors. We cannot predict the factors that may cause 3-Month USD LIBOR, and consequently the Interest Rate for an Interest Period, to increase or decrease. A decrease in 3-Month USD LIBOR will result in a reduction of the applicable Interest Rate used to calculate the Interest for any Interest Period.
• 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.
• YOUR MAXIMUM GAIN ON THE NOTES IS LIMITED BY THE MAXIMUM INTEREST RATE — With respect to any Determination Date, if 3-Month USD LIBOR plus 1.00% is greater than the Maximum Interest Rate of 7.25% per annum, for each $1,000 principal amount note, you will receive on the corresponding Interest Payment Date an interest payment that will not exceed $72.50 per $1,000 principal amount note per annum prorated on a 360 day basis with 90 days in each Interest Period, regardless of the performance of 3-Month USD LIBOR. In other words, if 3-Month USD LIBOR is greater than or equal to 6.25%, your Interest Rate will be capped at 7.25% per annum.
• THESE NOTES MAY BE MORE RISKY THAN NOTES WITH A SHORTER TERM — By purchasing a note with a longer term, you are more exposed to fluctuations in interest rates than you would be if you purchased a note with a shorter term. Specifically, you may be negatively affected under certain circumstances in which interest rates are affected. For example, if interest rates begin to rise, the market value of your notes will decline because the Interest Rate applicable to a specific Interest Period may be less than that applicable to a note issued at such time. For example, if the Interest Rate applicable to your notes at such time was 3.50% per annum, but a debt security issued in the then current market could yield an interest rate of 5.50% per annum, your note would be less valuable if you tried to sell that note in the secondary market.
• THERE MAY BE CHANGES IN BANKS’ INTER-BANK LENDING RATE REPORTING PRACTICES OR THE METHOD PURSUANT TO WHICH 3-MONTH USD LIBOR IS DETERMINED — Concerns have been expressed that some of the member banks surveyed by the British Banker’s Association (“BBA”) in connection with the calculation of daily London Interbank Offered Rates, including 3-Month USD LIBOR, may have been under-reporting the inter-bank lending rate applicable to them in order to avoid an appearance of capital insufficiency or adverse reputation or other consequences that may result from reporting higher inter-bank lending rates. If such under-reporting has occurred, it may have resulted in the London Interbank Offered Rates being artificially low. If such under-reporting in fact exists and some or all of the member banks discontinue such practice, there may be a resulting sudden or prolonged upward movement in London Interbank Offered Rates (including 3-Month USD LIBOR). In addition, the BBA announced that it may change the London Interbank Offered Rates rate-fixing process by increasing the number of banks surveyed to set a London Interbank Offered Rates. The BBA also indicated that it will consider adding a second rate fixing process for U.S. dollar London Interbank Offered Rates after the U.S. market opening, after discussion with the member banks. The BBA is continuing its consideration of ways to strengthen the oversight of the process. The changes announced by the BBA, or future changes adopted by the BBA, in the method pursuant to which the London Interbank Offered Rates are determined may result in a sudden or prolonged increase in the reported London Interbank Offered Rates (including 3-Month USD LIBOR).
• 3-MONTH USD LIBOR WILL BE AFFECTED BY A NUMBER OF FACTORS — The amount of interest payable on notes will depend on 3-Month USD LIBOR. A number of factors can affect 3-Month USD LIBOR by causing changes in the value of 3-Month USD LIBOR including, but not limited to:
  • changes in, or perceptions, about future 3-Month USD LIBOR levels;
  • general economic conditions in the United States;
  • prevailing interest rates; and
  • policies of the Federal Reserve Board regarding interest rates.
These and other factors may have a negative impact on the payment of interest on the notes and on the value of the notes in the secondary market.
• 3-MONTH USD LIBOR MAY BE VOLATILE — 3-Month USD LIBOR is subject to volatility due to a variety of factors affecting interest rates generally, including but not limited to:
  • supply and demand among banks in London for U.S. dollar-denominated deposits with approximately a three month term;
  • sentiment regarding underlying strength in the U.S. and global economies;
  • expectations regarding the level of price inflation;
  • sentiment regarding credit quality in the U.S. and global credit markets;
  • central bank policy regarding interest rates;
  • inflation and expectations concerning inflation; and

JPMorgan Structured Investments —
Floating Rate Notes Linked to 3-Month USD LIBOR  TS-2

• performance of capital markets.
Decreases in 3-Month USD LIBOR could result in the corresponding Interest Rate decreasing or an Interest Rate of 3.00% and thus in the reduction of interest payable on 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. 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 the 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.
• MANY ECONOMIC AND MARKET FACTORS WILL IMPACT THE VALUE OF THE NOTES — In addition to 3-Month USD LIBOR 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 3-Month USD LIBOR;
  • the time to maturity of the notes;
  • interest and yield rates in the market generally, as well as the volatility of those rates;
  • a variety of economic, financial, political, regulatory and judicial events; and
  • our creditworthiness, including actual or anticipated downgrades in our credit ratings.

Hypothetical Interest Rate for an Interest Period

The following table illustrates the Interest Rate determination for an Interest Period for a hypothetical range of performance for 3-Month USD LIBOR and reflects the spread of 1.00%, the Minimum Interest Rate of 3.00% per annum and the Maximum Interest Rate of 7.25% per annum. The hypothetical 3-Month USD LIBORs and interest payments set forth in the examples on the following page are for illustrative purposes only and may not be the actual 3-Month USD LIBOR or interest payment applicable to a purchaser of the notes.

* The Interest Rate cannot be greater than the Maximum Interest Rate of 7.25% per annum.
** The Interest Rate cannot be less than the Minimum Interest Rate of 3.00% per annum.

Hypothetical Examples of Interest Rate Calculation

The following examples illustrate how the hypothetical Interest Rates set forth in the table on the previous page are calculated and reflect that each Interest Period consists of 90 days.

Example 1: 3-Month USD LIBOR is 3.00%. The Interest Rate is 4.00% per annum calculated as follows:

3.00% + 1.00% = 4.00%

The quarterly interest payment per $1,000 principal amount note is calculated as follows:

$1,000 × 4.00% × (90/360) = $10.00

Example 2: 3-Month USD LIBOR is 7.00%. Because 3-Month USD LIBOR of 7.00% plus 1.00% exceeds the Maximum Interest Rate of 7.25% per annum, the Interest Rate is the Maximum Interest Rate of 7.25% per annum and the quarterly interest payment per $1,000 principal amount note is calculated as follows:

$1,000 × 7.25% × (90/360) = $18.13

Example 3: 3-Month USD LIBOR is 0.50%. Because 3-Month USD LIBOR of 0.50% plus 1.00% is less than the Minimum Interest Rate of 3.00% per annum, the Interest Rate is the Minimum Interest Rate of 3.00% per annum and the quarterly interest payment per $1,000 principal amount note is calculated as follows:

$1,000 × 3.00% × (90/360) = $7.50

Historical Information

The following graph sets forth the daily historical performance of 3-Month USD LIBOR from January 4, 2000 through July 26, 2010. We obtained the rates used to construct the graph below from Bloomberg Financial Markets. We make no representation or warranty as to the accuracy or completeness of the information obtained from Bloomberg Financial Markets.

3-Month USD LIBOR, as appeared on Reuters page “LIBOR01” at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time on July 26, 2010 was 0.48750%.

The historical rates should not be taken as an indication of future performance, and no assurance can be given as to 3-Month USD LIBOR on any Determination Date. We cannot give you assurance that the performance of 3-Month USD LIBOR will result in any Interest Payments over the Minimum Interest Rate.
