Subject to your compliance with the procedures described under “Description of Notes — Early Repurchase at the Option of the Holders” and the potential postponements and adjustments as described under “Description of Notes — Postponement of a Valuation Date” in the accompanying product supplement no. 194-A-II, you may request that we repurchase your notes on any Repurchase Date during the term of the notes. Upon early repurchase, you will receive for each note a cash payment on the relevant Repurchase Date equal to the Indicative Note Value as of the relevant Valuation Date. The return on your initial investment upon early repurchase will be reduced by the Investor Fee, which is deducted from the Indicative Note Value on each Valuation Date. Accordingly, you will lose some or all of your initial investment upon early repurchase if the level of the Index decreases or does not increase sufficiently to offset the cumulative effect of the Investor Fee. |
|
Early Repurchase Mechanics: |
In order to request that we repurchase your notes on any Repurchase Date, you must deliver a Repurchase Notice to us via email at dln_repurchase@jpmchase.com by no later than 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on the business day prior to the relevant Valuation Date and follow the procedures described under “Description of Notes — Early Repurchase at the Option of the Holders” in the accompanying product supplement no. 194-A-II.

Selected Purchase Considerations
- UNCAPPED APPRECIATION POTENTIAL — The notes provide the opportunity to obtain an uncapped return at maturity or upon early repurchase or redemption linked to the Index, subject to the deduction of the Investor Fee. The notes are not subject to a predetermined maximum return and, accordingly, any return will be based on the performance of the Index and the cumulative amount of the Investor Fee as of the relevant Valuation Date. 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 THE S&P GSCITM COPPER INDEX TOTAL RETURN — The return on the notes is linked to the S&P GSCITM Copper Index Total Return, a sub-index of the S&P GSCI™, a composite index of commodity sector returns, which is calculated, maintained and published daily by Standard & Poor’s Financial Services LLC. The S&P GSCI™ is a world production-weighted index that is designed to reflect the relative significance of principal non-financial commodities (i.e., physical commodities) in the world economy. The S&P GSCI™ Copper Index Total Return provides investors with a publicly available benchmark for investment performance in the copper commodity markets. The S&P GSCI™ Copper Index Total Return is based on price levels of the futures contracts included in the S&P GSCI™ Copper Index Total Return as well as the discount or premium obtained by “rolling” hypothetical positions in such contracts forward as they approach delivery. The S&P GSCI™ Copper Index Total Return also reflects interest earned on hypothetical, fully collateralized contract positions on the included commodities. See “The GSCI Indices” in the accompanying product supplement no. 194-A-II.
- DAILY REPURCHASES IN MINIMUM DENOMINATIONS EQUAL TO THE PRINCIPAL AMOUNT — Subject to your compliance with the procedures and the potential postponements and adjustments as described in the accompanying product supplement no. 194-A-II, you may submit daily a request to have us repurchase your notes on any Repurchase Date during the term of the notes. If you request that we repurchase your notes, subject to the notification requirements and the other terms and conditions set forth in the accompanying product supplement no. 194-A-II and this pricing supplement, for each note you will receive a cash payment on the relevant Repurchase Date equal to the Indicative Note Value as of the relevant Valuation Date. You may request that we repurchase a minimum of one note.
- POTENTIAL EARLY EXIT AS A RESULT OF THE OPTIONAL CALL FEATURE — At our sole discretion, we may redeem all, but not fewer than all, issued and outstanding notes on any business day on or after the Initial Redemption Date after providing at least five business days’ written notice. Upon redemption, you will receive for each note a cash payment on the relevant Redemption Date equal to the Indicative Note Value as of the relevant Valuation Date.
- INDICATIVE NOTE VALUE — At any time during the term of the notes, you can contact us via email at dln_repurchase@jpmchase.com, with “Indicative Note Value, Daily Liquidity Notes Linked to the S&P GSCITM Copper Index Total Return due May 22, 2014, CUSIP No. 48125XRA6” as the subject line, to obtain the Indicative Note Value as of the close of any business day. We intend to respond to any requests for the daily Indicative Note Value by the close of business on the following business day; provided that if we receive your request on a day that is a Disrupted Day, we will respond by close of business on the immediately succeeding trading day that is not a Disrupted Day. Please see “Description of Notes — Indicative Note Value” in the accompanying product supplement no. 194-A-II.
- CAPITAL GAINS TAX TREATMENT — You should review carefully the
section entitled “Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” in the
accompanying product supplement no. 194-A-II. 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 LLP,
it is reasonable 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. 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 and
impose 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
unless they have submitted a properly completed IRS Form W-8BEN or otherwise satisfied the
applicable documentation requirements.
The discussion in the preceding paragraph, when read in combination with the section entitled “Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” in the accompanying product supplement, constitutes the full opinion of Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP regarding the materialU.S. federal income tax consequences of owning and disposing of notes.

Selected Risk Considerations
Your investment in the notes will involve significant risks. The notes do not guarantee any return of principal at, or prior to, the Maturity Date, any Repurchase Date or any Redemption Date. Investing in the notes is not equivalent to investing directly in the Index, its component futures contracts, any of the commodities underlying the component futures contracts or in any contracts relating to the Index or such futures contracts for which there is an active secondary market. In addition, your investment in the notes entails other risks not associated with an investment in conventional debt securities. These risks are explained in more detail in the “Risk Factors” section of the accompanying product supplement no. 194-A-II dated May 12, 2011. You should carefully consider the following discussion of risks before you decide that an investment in the notes is suitable for you.
- YOUR INVESTMENT IN THE NOTES MAY RESULT IN A LOSS — The notes may not return any of your investment. The Investor Fee, which is deducted on each Valuation Date, will reduce your final payment. Accordingly, you will lose some or all of your initial investment at maturity or upon early repurchase or redemption if the level of the Index decreases or does not increase sufficiently to offset the cumulative effect of the Investor Fee.
- EVEN IF THE LEVEL OF THE INDEX INCREASES, YOU MAY RECEIVE LESS THAN THE PRINCIPAL AMOUNT OF YOUR NOTES DUE TO THE INVESTOR FEE — The amount of the Investor Fee, which is deducted on each Valuation Date, will reduce the payment, if any, you will receive at maturity or upon early repurchase or redemption. If the level of the Index decreases or even if the level of the Index increases, but the Index does not increase sufficiently to offset the cumulative effect of the Investor Fee, which is deducted daily, you will receive less than the principal amount of your investment at maturity or upon early repurchase of your notes.
- 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. Investors are dependent on JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s ability to pay all amounts due on the notes at maturity or upon early repurchase or redemption, and therefore investors are 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 affect adversely 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 Note Calculation Agent and hedging our obligations under the notes. In performing these duties, the economic interests of the Note Calculation Agent and other affiliates of ours are potentially adverse to your interests as an investor in the notes.
- IF WE EXERCISE OUR RIGHT TO REDEEM THE NOTES, THE CASH PAYMENT YOU WILL RECEIVE MAY BE LESS THAN YOU MIGHT OTHERWISE HAVE RECEIVED — We have the right to redeem all, but not fewer than all, issued and outstanding notes on any business day on or after the Initial Redemption Date. We may elect to redeem your notes at a time when the Indicative Note Value is relatively low. As a result, any payment upon redemption may be substantially less than the amount you initially invested, the amount you could have received on your investment at maturity if the notes had not been redeemed or the amount you could have received if you had elected to have us (or our affiliates) repurchase your notes at the time of your choosing.
- THE OPTIONAL REDEMPTION FEATURE MAY FORCE A POTENTIAL EARLY EXIT FROM YOUR INVESTMENT — While the original term of the notes is approximately three years, at our sole discretion, the notes may be called for redemption prior to the Maturity Date. There is no guarantee that you would be able to reinvest the proceeds from an investment in the notes in an investment with similar characteristics in the event the notes are redeemed prior to the Maturity Date.
- WE MAY ACCELERATE YOUR NOTES IF A COMMODITY HEDGING DISRUPTION EVENT OCCURS — If we or our affiliates are unable to effect transactions necessary to hedge our obligations under the notes due to a commodity hedging disruption event, we may, in our sole and absolute discretion, accelerate the payment on your notes and pay you an amount determined in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner by the calculation agent. If the payment on your notes is accelerated, your investment may result in a loss and you may not be able to reinvest your money in a comparable investment. Please see “General Terms of Notes — Consequences of a Commodity Hedging Disruption Event” in the accompanying product supplement no. 194-A-II for more information.
- COMMODITY FUTURES CONTRACTS ARE SUBJECT TO UNCERTAIN LEGAL AND REGULATORY REGIMES — The commodity futures contracts that underlie the Index are subject to legal and regulatory regimes in the United States and, in some cases, in other countries that may change in ways that could adversely affect our ability to hedge our obligations under the notes and affect the value of the Index. The effect on the value of the notes of any future regulatory changes, including but not limited to changes resulting from the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”), which was enacted on July 21, 2010, may have a substantial adverse effect on the value of your notes. Additionally, in accordance with the Dodd-Frank Act, the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission is drafting regulations that will affect market participants’ position limits in certain commodity-based futures contracts, such as futures contracts on certain agricultural commodities, energy commodities and metals. These proposed regulations, when final and implemented, may reduce liquidity in the exchange-traded market for such commodity-based futures contracts. Furthermore, we or our affiliates may be unable as a result of such restrictions to effect transactions necessary to hedge our obligations under the notes, in which case we may, in our sole and absolute discretion, accelerate the payment on your notes. See “We May Accelerate Your Notes If a Commodity Hedging Disruption Event Occurs” above.

- PRICES OF COMMODITY FUTURES CONTRACTS ARE CHARACTERIZED BY HIGH AND UNPREDICTABLE VOLATILITY, WHICH COULD LEAD TO HIGH AND UNPREDICTABLE VOLATILITY IN THE INDEX — Market prices of the commodity futures contracts included in the Index tend to be highly volatile and may fluctuate rapidly based on numerous factors, including the factors that affect the price of the commodities underlying the commodity futures contracts included in the Index. See “The Market Price of Copper Will Affect the Value of the Notes” below. The prices of commodity futures contracts are subject to variables that may be less significant to the values of traditional securities, such as stocks and bonds. These additional variables may create additional investment risks that cause the value of the notes to be more volatile than the values of traditional securities. As a general matter, the risk of low liquidity or volatile pricing around the maturity date of a commodity futures contract is greater than in the case of other futures contracts because (among other factors) a number of market participants take physical delivery of the underlying commodities. Many commodities are also highly cyclical. The high volatility and cyclical nature of commodity markets may render such an investment inappropriate as the focus of an investment portfolio.
- THE MARKET PRICE OF COPPER WILL AFFECT THE VALUE OF THE NOTES — The price of copper is primarily affected by the global demand for and supply of copper, but is also influenced significantly from time to time by speculative actions and by currency exchange rates. Demand for copper is significantly influenced by the level of global industrial economic activity. Industrial sectors which are particularly important to demand for copper include the electrical and construction sectors. In recent years, demand has been supported by strong consumption from newly industrializing countries due to their copper-intensive economic growth and industrial development. An additional, but highly volatile, component of demand is adjustments to inventory in response to changes in economic activity and/or pricing levels. There are substitutes for copper in various applications. Their availability and price will also affect demand for copper. Apart from the United States, Canada and Australia, the majority of copper concentrate supply (the raw material) comes from outside the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development countries. The supply of copper is also affected by current and previous price levels, which will influence investment decisions in new smelters. In previous years, copper supply has been affected by strikes, financial problems and terrorist activity. It is not possible to predict the aggregate effect of all or any combination of these factors.
- A DECISION BY AN EXCHANGE ON WHICH THE FUTURES CONTRACTS UNDERLYING THE INDEX ARE TRADED TO INCREASE MARGIN REQUIREMENTS MAY AFFECT THE LEVEL OF THE INDEX — If an exchange on which the futures contract underlying the Index are traded increases the amount of collateral required to be posted to hold positions in such futures contracts (i.e., the margin requirements), market participants who are unwilling or unable to post additional collateral may liquidate their positions, which may cause the level of the Index to decline significantly.
- THE INDEX MAY BE MORE VOLATILE AND SUSCEPTIBLE TO PRICE FLUCTUATIONS OF COMMODITIES THAN A BROADER COMMODITIES INDEX — The Index may be more volatile and susceptible to price fluctuations than a broader commodities index, such as the S&P GSCI™. In contrast to the S&P GSCI™, which includes contracts on precious metals and non-precious metals commodities, the Index comprises contracts on only copper. As a result, price volatility in the contracts included in the Index will likely have a greater impact on the Index than it would on the broader S&P GSCITM. In addition, because the Index omits principal market sectors composing the S&P GSCI™, it will be less representative of the economy and commodity markets as a whole and will therefore not serve as a reliable benchmark for commodity market performance generally.
- THE NOTES DO NOT OFFER DIRECT EXPOSURE TO COMMODITY SPOT PRICES — The notes are linked to the Index, which is linked to commodity futures contracts, not physical commodities (or their spot prices). The price of a futures contract reflects the expected value of the commodity upon delivery in the future, whereas the spot price of a commodity reflects the immediate delivery value of the commodity. A variety of factors can lead to a disparity between the expected future price of a commodity and the spot price at a given point in time, such as the cost of storing the commodity for the term of the futures contract, interest charges incurred to finance the purchase of the commodity and expectations concerning supply and demand for the commodity. The price movements of a futures contract are typically correlated with the movements of the spot price of the referenced commodity, but the correlation is generally imperfect and price movements in the spot market may not be reflected in the futures market (and vice versa). Accordingly, the notes may underperform a similar investment that is linked to commodity spot prices.
- OWNING THE NOTES IS NOT THE SAME AS OWNING ANY COMMODITIES OR COMMODITY FUTURES CONTRACTS — The return on your notes will not reflect the return you would realize if you actually purchased the futures contracts composing the Index, the commodities upon which the futures contracts that compose the Index are based, or other exchange-traded or over-the-counter instruments based on the Index. You will not have any rights that holders of such assets or instruments have.
- HIGHER FUTURES PRICES OF THE COMMODITY FUTURES CONTRACTS UNDERLYING THE INDEX RELATIVE TO THE CURRENT PRICES OF SUCH CONTRACTS MAY AFFECT THE VALUE OF THE INDEX AND THE VALUE OF THE NOTES — The Index is composed of futures contracts on physical commodities. Unlike equities, which typically entitle the holder to a continuing stake in a corporation, commodity futures contracts normally specify a certain date for delivery of the underlying physical commodity. As the exchange-traded futures contracts that compose the Index approach expiration, they are replaced by contracts that have a later expiration. Thus, for example, a contract purchased and held in August may specify an October expiration. As time passes, the contract expiring in October is replaced with a contract for delivery in November. This process is referred to as “rolling.” If the market for these contracts is (putting aside other considerations) in “contango,” where the prices are higher in the distant delivery months than in the nearer delivery months, the purchase of the November contract would take place at a price that is higher than the price of the October contract, thereby creating a negative “roll yield.” Contango could adversely affect the value of the Index and thus the value of notes linked to the Index. The futures contracts underlying the Index have historically been in contango.

- SUSPENSION OR DISRUPTIONS OF MARKET TRADING IN THE COMMODITY AND RELATED FUTURES MARKETS MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT THE LEVEL OF THE INDEX, AND THEREFORE THE VALUE OF THE NOTES — The commodity markets are subject to temporary distortions or other disruptions due to various factors, including the lack of liquidity in the markets, the participation of speculators and government regulation and intervention. In addition, U.S. futures exchanges and some foreign exchanges have regulations that limit the amount of fluctuation in futures contract prices that may occur during a single business day. These limits are generally referred to as “daily price fluctuation limits” and the maximum or minimum price of a contract on any given day as a result of these limits is referred to as a “limit price.” Once the limit price has been reached in a particular contract, no trades may be made at a different price. Limit prices have the effect of precluding trading in a particular contract or forcing the liquidation of contracts at disadvantageous times or prices. These circumstances could adversely affect the level of the Index and, therefore, the value of your notes.
- THE INDEX CLOSING LEVEL ON THE RELEVANT VALUATION DATE MAY BE LESS THAN THE INDEX CLOSING LEVEL ON THE MATURITY DATE, A REPURCHASE DATE, A REDEMPTION DATE OR AT OTHER TIMES DURING THE TERM OF THE NOTES — The Index Closing Level on the Maturity Date, a Repurchase Date, a Redemption Date or at other times during the term of the notes, including dates near the relevant Valuation Date, could be higher than the Index Closing Level on the relevant Valuation Date. This difference could be particularly large if there is a significant increase in the level of the Index after the relevant Valuation Date, if there is a significant decrease in the level of the Index prior to the relevant Valuation Date or if there is significant volatility in the Index during the term of the notes.
- THERE ARE
RESTRICTIONS ON YOUR ABILITY TO REQUEST THAT WE REPURCHASE YOUR NOTES — If you elect to exercise your right
to have us repurchase your notes, your request that we repurchase your notes is
only valid if we receive your Repurchase Notice by no later than 4:00 p.m., New
York City time, on the business day prior to the relevant Valuation Date and we
(or our affiliates) acknowledge receipt of the Repurchase Notice that same day.
If we do not receive such notice or we (or our affiliates) do not acknowledge
receipt of such notice, your repurchase request will not be effective and we
will not repurchase your notes on the corresponding Repurchase Date.
Because of the timing requirements of the Repurchase Notice, settlement of the repurchase will be prolonged when compared to a sale and settlement in the secondary market. As your request that we repurchase your notes is irrevocable, this will subject you to market risk in the event the market fluctuates after we receive your request. Furthermore, our obligation to repurchase the notes prior to maturity may be postponed upon the occurrence of a market disruption event.
- NO INTEREST PAYMENTS — As a holder of the notes, you will not receive any interest payments.
- YOU WILL NOT KNOW THE AMOUNT YOU WILL RECEIVE UPON EARLY REPURCHASE AT THE TIME YOU ELECT TO REQUEST THAT WE REPURCHASE YOUR NOTES — You will not know the amount you will receive upon early repurchase at the time you elect to request that we repurchase your notes. Your notice to us to repurchase your notes is irrevocable and must be received by us no later than 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on the business day prior to the relevant Valuation Date and we (or our affiliates) must acknowledge receipt of such notice, on the same day. As a result, you will be exposed to market risk in the event the market fluctuates after we confirm the validity of your notice of election to exercise your rights to have us repurchase your notes, and prior to the relevant Repurchase Date.
- MANY ECONOMIC AND MARKET FACTORS WILL AFFECT 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 but not limited to:
- the volatility, frequency and magnitude of changes in the levels of the Index and the futures contracts that compose the Index;
- whether we are expected to redeem the notes;
- the time to maturity of the notes;
- supply and demand trends at any time for the commodities upon which the futures contracts that compose the Index or the exchange-traded futures contracts on such commodities;
- the amount of the Investor Fee on the relevant Valuation Date;
- the market price of the commodities upon which the futures contracts that compose the Index are based or the exchange-traded futures contracts on such commodities;
- interest and yield rates in the market generally;
- economic, financial, political, regulatory, geographical, agricultural, meteorological and judicial events that affect commodities markets generally or the futures contracts underlying the Index, and which may affect the Index Closing Level on any Valuation Date; and
- our creditworthiness, including actual or anticipated downgrades in our credit ratings.
- THE LIQUIDITY IS LIMITED TO THE EARLY REPURCHASE RIGHT — The notes will not be listed on any securities exchange. As stated in the “Supplemental Plan of Distribution” in this pricing supplement, JPMS purchased from us all of the notes on the Inception Date. However, JPMS did not sell any notes on the Inception Date. Other than pursuant to the early repurchase right set forth in the notes, JPMS will not purchase notes in the secondary market. Also, the number of notes outstanding or held by persons other than our affiliates could be reduced at any time due to early repurchases of the notes. Accordingly, the liquidity of the market for the notes outside of the early repurchase right could vary materially over the term of the notes and the price at which you may be able to trade your notes is likely to depend on the payment upon early repurchase. In addition, any election by holders to request that we repurchase the notes will be subject to the restrictive conditions and procedures described in the accompanying product supplement no. 194-A-II. Furthermore, at our sole discretion, we may redeem all, but not fewer than all, issued and outstanding notes on any business day on or after the Initial Redemption Date.

Hypothetical Payment at Maturity or upon Early Repurchase
The following examples illustrate how the notes would perform at maturity or upon early repurchase in hypothetical circumstances. We have included an example in which the Index Closing Level increases at a constant rate of 2% per quarter through maturity (Example 1) and an example in which the Index Closing Level decreases at a constant rate of 2% per quarter through maturity (Example 2). In addition, Example 3 shows the Index Closing Level increasing by 2% per quarter for the first 6 quarters and then decreasing by 2% per quarter for the next 6 quarters, whereas Example 4 shows the reverse scenario of the Index Closing Level decreasing by 2% per quarter for the first 6 quarters, and then increasing by 2% per quarter for the next 6 quarters. For ease of analysis and presentation, the following examples assume Valuation Dates occur quarterly so that the Index Factor, the Investor Fee and the Indicative Note Value are recalculated only once each quarter. These examples highlight the impact of the Investor Fee on the payment at maturity or upon early repurchase under different circumstances. If the notes are redeemed prior to maturity, the tables and charts below do not illustrate how much you will be paid. Because the Investor Fee takes into account the Index Closing Level performance, the absolute level of the Investor Fee is dependent on the path taken by the Index Closing Level to arrive at its ending level. As a result, the actual Investor Fee, which is deducted on each Valuation Date, may be greater than or less than the hypothetical Investor Fee (which is calculated quarterly) shown in these examples, depending on whether the level of the Index is increasing or decreasing. The figures in these examples have been rounded for convenience. The Hypothetical Indicative Value of each note for quarter 12 is as of the hypothetical Final Valuation Date, and given the indicated assumptions, a holder will receive payment at maturity or upon early repurchase in the indicated amount, according to the indicated formula.

We cannot predict the actual Indicative Note Value on any Valuation Date or the market value of your notes, nor can we predict the relationship between the Indicative Note Value and the market value of your notes at any time prior to the stated Maturity Date. The actual amount that a holder of the notes will receive at maturity or upon early repurchase or redemption, as the case may be, and the rate of return on the notes will depend on the actual Indicative Note Value on the relevant Valuation Date and the Investor Fee. Moreover, the assumptions on which the hypothetical returns are based, including the assumption that the Investor Fee accrues quarterly and that the Index Factor, the Investor Fee and the Indicative Note Value are calculated quarterly, are purely for illustrative purposes. Consequently, the amount, in cash, to be paid in respect of your notes, if any, on the stated Maturity Date, the relevant Repurchase Date or Redemption Date, as applicable, may be very different from the information reflected in the tables above. |

Historical Information
The following graph sets forth the historical performance of the S&P GSCITM Copper Index Total Return based on the weekly Index Closing Level from January 6, 2006 through May 13, 2011. The Closing Level of the Index on May 17, 2011 was 5321.508. We obtained the Closing Levels of the Index 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.
The historical levels of the Index should not be taken as an indication of future performance, and no assurance can be given as to the closing level of the Index on any Valuation Date. We cannot give you assurance that the performance of the Index will result in the return of any of your initial investment.
Supplemental Plan of Distribution
On the Inception Date, JPMS purchased from us all of the notes at 100% of the Principal Amount per note. JPMS did not sell any notes on the Inception Date. The notes may be offered and sold from time to time by JPMS at the Indicative Note Value as of the relevant Valuation Dates. We will receive proceeds equal to 100% of the offering price of notes sold to JPMS on the Inception Date. Under Rule 15c6-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in three business days, unless parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade notes that are to be issued more than three business days prior to the related issue date will be required to specify alternative settlement arrangements to prevent failed settlement.
Reopening Issuances
We may, at our sole discretion, “reopen” the notes based on market conditions and Index Closing Levels at that time. These further issuances, if any, will be consolidated to form a single sub-series with the originally issued notes and will have the same CUSIP number and will trade interchangeably with the notes immediately upon settlement. The price of any additional offering will be determined at the time of pricing of that offering. We have no obligation to take your interests into account when deciding to issue additional notes. For more information on such additional offerings, see “General Terms of Notes — Reopening Issuances” in the accompanying product supplement no. 194-A-II.
Validity of the Notes
In the opinion of Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, as our special products counsel, when the notes offered by this pricing supplement have been executed and issued by us and authenticated by the trustee pursuant to the indenture, and delivered against payment as contemplated herein, such notes will be our valid and binding obligations, enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally, concepts of reasonableness and equitable principles of general applicability (including, without limitation, concepts of good faith, fair dealing and the lack of bad faith), provided that such counsel expresses no opinion as to the effect of fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent transfer or similar provision of applicable law on the conclusions expressed above. This opinion is given as of the date hereof and is limited to the federal laws of the United States of America, the laws of the State of New York and the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. In addition, this opinion is subject to customary assumptions about the trustee’s authorization, execution and delivery of the indenture and its authentication of the notes and the validity, binding nature and enforceability of the indenture with respect to the trustee, all as stated in the letter of such counsel dated March 23, 2011, which has been filed as an exhibit to a Current Report on Form 8-K by us on March 23, 2011.
