  • Minimum denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof
  • The notes are expected to price on or about June 27, 2011 and are expected to settle on or about June 30, 2011.

Key Terms

Basket/Basket Components:

The notes are linked to a weighted basket consisting of three buffered return enhanced components (each a “Basket Component,” and together, the “Basket Components”): Russell 3000® Index (the “Component Index”), the iShares® MSCI EAFE Index Fund and the iShares® MSCI Emerging Markets Index Fund (each of the latter two, a “Component Fund” and collectively, the “Component Funds”). We refer to each Component Index and Component Fund as a “Component Underlying” and collectively, as the “Component Underlyings.”

* The actual Maximum Return for each Basket Component will be set on the pricing date. The maximum payment at maturity, based on the percentages set forth above, will not be less than $1,153.70 or greater than $1,163.70 per $1,000 principal amount note.

Payment at Maturity:

The amount you will receive at maturity is based on the Basket Return, which in turn is based on the performance of the Basket Components. At maturity, your payment per $1,000 principal amount note will be calculated as follows:

 

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

Basket Return:

The sum of the products of (a) the Component Return of each Basket Component and (b) the Component Weighting of such Basket Component.

Component Return:

With respect to each Basket Component, the Component Return will be calculated as follows:

   

Ending Underlying Level

Component Return

 
  is greater than the Starting Underlying Level
Underlying Return × Upside Leverage Factor, subject to the Maximum Return
 

is equal to the Starting Underlying Level or less than the Starting Underlying Level by not more than the buffer amount

0

 

is less than the Starting Underlying Level by more than the buffer amount

(Underlying Return + buffer amount) × downside leverage factor

 

For each Basket Component, if the Ending Underlying Level for the applicable Component Underlying is less than the Starting Underlying Level for such Component Underlying by more than 10%, your return on the notes at maturity may be adversely affected and you may lose some or all of your investment at maturity.

Maximum Return:

With respect to a Basket Component, a percentage that we will determine on the pricing date as set forth above under “Basket/Basket Components.” For example, assuming a Maximum Return for the Russell 3000® Index of 12.50%*, if the Underlying Return for the Russell 3000® Index is more than 8.33%, the applicable Component Return will be equal to the applicable Maximum Return for the Russell 3000® Index of 12.50%*.

Underlying Return:

With respect to each Component Underlying, the performance of the Component Underlying from the Starting Underlying Level to the Ending Underlying Level, calculated as follows:

Ending Underlying Level – Starting Underlying Level
Starting Underlying Level

Starting Underlying Level:

With respect to each Component Underlying, the Index closing level or closing price of such Component Underlying on the pricing date.

Ending Underlying Level:

With respect to each Component Underlying, the arithmetic average of the Index closing levels or closing prices of such Component Underlying on each of the Ending Averaging Dates (multiplied, in the case of the Component Funds, by the applicable Share Adjustment Factor on such date)

Share Adjustment Factor:

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. 103-A-II for further information about these adjustments.

Ending Averaging Dates:

July 20, 2012, July 23, 2012, July 24, 2012, July 25, 2012 and July 26, 2012

If the notes priced today, J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, which we refer to as JPMS, acting as agent for JPMorgan Chase & Co., would receive a commission of approximately $7.00 per $1,000 principal amount note and would use a portion of that commission to allow selling concessions to other dealers of approximately $2.50 per $1,000 principal amount note. The other dealers may forgo, in their sole discretion, some or all of their selling concessions. This commission includes the projected profits that our affiliates expect to realize, some of which may be allowed to other unaffiliated dealers, for assuming risks inherent in hedging our obligations under the notes. The actual commission received by JPMS may be more or less than $7.00 and will depend on market conditions on the pricing date. In no event will the commission received by JPMS, which includes concessions to be allowed to other dealers, exceed $10.00 per $1,000 principal amount note.

Selected Purchase Considerations

  • APPRECIATION POTENTIAL — The notes provide the opportunity to enhance equity returns by multiplying a positive Underlying Return for each Component Underlying by 1.5, up to the applicable Maximum Return. The Maximum Returns will be set on the pricing date and will not be less than 12.50% or greater than 13.50% for the Russell 3000® Index, will not be less than 20.50% or greater than 21.50% for the iShares® MSCI EAFE Index Fund and will not be less than 18.30% or greater than 19.30% for the iShares® MSCI Emerging Markets Index Fund. Accordingly, the actual maximum payment at maturity will not be less than $1,153.70 or greater than $1,163.70 for every $1,000 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.
  • LIMITED PROTECTION AGAINST LOSS — We will pay you your principal back at maturity if the Ending Underlying Level of each Component Underlying is less than the applicable Starting Underlying Level by up to 10%. If the Ending Underlying Level of a Component Underlying is less than the Starting Underlying Level by more than 10%, for every 1% decline of the Component Underlying beyond 10%, the Component Return for the Basket Component linked to such Component Underlying will be reduced by 1.1111%.
  • DIVERSIFICATION AMONG THE COMPONENT UNDERLYINGS — Because the Basket Component linked to the Russell 3000® Index makes up 60% of the Basket, we expect that generally the market value of your notes and your payment at maturity will depend significantly on the performance of the Russell 3000® Index.
    The return on the notes is linked to a weighted basket consisting of three buffered return enhanced components, each linked to the Russell 3000® Index, the iShares® MSCI EAFE Index Fund and the iShares® MSCI Emerging Markets Index Fund, respectively. The Russell 3000® Index is designed to represent the broad U.S. equity market. The Russell 3000® Index consists of the 3,000 stocks included in the Russell 1000® Index and the Russell 2000® Index, which are subsets of the Russell 3000E™ Index, and represents approximately 98% of the U.S. equity market. The iShares® MSCI EAFE Index Fund is an exchange-traded fund of iShares® Trust, a registered investment company, which seeks investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the MSCI EAFE® Index. The MSCI EAFE® Index is a stock index calculated, published and disseminated daily by MSCI Inc. and is intended to provide performance benchmarks for the developed equity markets in Europe, Australasia (Australia and Asia) and the Far East. The iShares® MSCI Emerging Markets Index Fund is an exchange-traded fund of iShares, Inc., which is a registered investment company that consists of numerous separate investment portfolios. The iShares® MSCI Emerging Markets Index Fund seeks to provide investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of publicly traded securities in emerging markets as measured by the MSCI Emerging Markets Index. The MSCI Emerging Markets Index is a free-float adjusted average of the U.S. dollar values of all of the equity securities constituting the MSCI indices for selected emerging markets countries. We refer to each of the MSCI EAFE Index and the MSCI Emerging Markets Index as an “Underlying Index” and collectively, as the “Underlying Indices.” For additional information about each Component Underlying, see the information set forth under “The Russell 3000® Index,” “The iShares® MSCI EAFE Index Fund” and “The iShares® MSCI Emerging Markets Index Fund” in the accompanying product supplement no. 103-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. 103-A-II. As described therein, we and you will agree to characterize and treat the notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes as “open transactions”. Subject to the limitations described therein, and based on certain factual representations received from us, in the opinion of our special tax counsel, Sidley AustiN LLP, it is reasonable to treat your purchase and ownership of 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. For example, the notes could be treated either as subject (in whole or in part) to the “constructive ownership transaction” rules of Section 1260 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), as discussed in the section entitled “Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” in the accompanying product supplement no. 103-A-II, or as “contingent payment debt instruments.”
    A “constructive ownership transaction” includes a contract under which an investor will receive payment equal to or credit for the future value of any equity interest in a regulated investment company (such as shares of the Component Funds (the “Underlying Shares”)). Under the “constructive ownership” rules, if an investment in the notes is treated as a “constructive ownership transaction,” any long-term capital gain recognized by a U.S. Holder in respect of a note will be recharacterized as ordinary income to the extent such gain exceeds the amount of “net underlying long-term capital gain” (as defined in Section 1260 of the Code) of the U.S. Holder, determined as if the U.S. Holder had acquired the Underlying Shares on the original issue date of the note at fair market value and sold them at fair market value on the maturity date (if the note was held until the maturity date) or on the date of sale or exchange of the note (if the note was sold or exchanged prior to the maturity date) (the “Excess Gain”). In addition, an interest charge will also apply to any deemed underpayment of tax in respect of any Excess Gain to the extent such gain would have resulted in gross income inclusion for the U.S. Holder in taxable years prior to the taxable year of the sale, exchange, settlement or maturity of the note (assuming such income accrued at a constant rate equal to the applicable federal rate as of the date of sale, exchange, settlement or maturity of the note).
    Although the matter is not clear, there exists a risk that an investment in the notes will be treated as a “constructive ownership transaction.” If such treatment applies, it is not entirely clear to what extent any long-term capital gain recognized by a U.S. Holder in respect of a note will be recharacterized as ordinary income. Accordingly, U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the potential application of the “constructive ownership” rules.
    Moreover, on December 7, 2007, the Treasury Department 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.
    Subject to certain assumptions and representations received from us, the discussion in this section entitled “Capital Gains Tax Treatment”, 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 Sidley Austin LLP regarding the material U.S. federal income tax treatment of owning and disposing of the notes.

Selected Risk Considerations

An investment in the notes involves significant risks. Investing in the notes is not equivalent to investing directly in the Basket, the Basket Components, the Component Underlyings or any of the equity securities included in the Component Underlyings. These risks are explained in more detail in the “Risk Factors” section of the accompanying product supplement no. 103-A-II dated May 24, 2010.

  • 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 Component Underlyings and will depend on whether, and the extent to which, the Underlying Return of each Component Underlying is positive or negative. Your investment will be exposed to loss on a leveraged basis if the Ending Underlying Level for any Component Underlying is less than the Starting Underlying Level for such Component Underlying by more than 10%.
  • 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, and therefore investors are subject to our credit risk and to changes

JPMorgan Structured Investments — TS-2
Notes Linked to a Weighted Basket of Three Buffered Return Enhanced Components, Consisting of the Russell 3000® Index, the iShares® MSCI EAFE Index Fund and the iShares® MSCI Emerging Markets Index Fund
    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 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. It is possible that such hedging or trading activities could result in substantial returns for us or our affiliates while the value of the notes declines. In addition, we are currently one of the companies that make up the Russell 3000® 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 Russell 3000® Index and the notes.
  • THE COMPONENT RETURN FOR EACH BASKET COMPONENT IS LIMITED TO THE APPLICABLE MAXIMUM RETURN — If the Ending Underlying Level of a Component Underlying is greater than its Starting Underlying Level, the Component Return for the Basket Component linked to such Component Underlying will not exceed a predetermined percentage, regardless of the appreciation in the Component Underlying, which may be significant. We refer to this percentage for each Basket Component as a Maximum Return, which will be set on the pricing date and will not be less than 12.50% or greater than 13.50% for the Russell 3000® Index, will not be less than 20.50% or greater than 21.50% for the iShares® MSCI EAFE Index Fund and will not be less than 18.30% or greater than 19.30% for the iShares® MSCI Emerging Markets Index Fund. Accordingly, the actual maximum payment at maturity will not be less than $1,153.70 or greater than $1,163.70 for every $1,000 principal amount note.
  • CHANGES IN THE VALUES OF THE COMPONENT UNDERLYINGS MAY OFFSET EACH OTHER — Price movements in the Component Underlyings may not correlate with each other. At a time when the value of one or more of the Component Underlyings increases, the value of the other Component Underlyings may not increase as much or may even decline. Therefore, in calculating the Basket Return, increases in the value of one or more of the Component Underlyings may be moderated, or more than offset, by lesser increases or declines in the value(s) of the other Component Underlying or Component Underlyings. For example, assuming the Maximum Return for each Basket Component is equal to the lower end of the applicable percentage range set forth on the front cover of this term sheet, the negative, weighted Component Return resulting from a 15% decline in the Russell 3000® Index would more than offset the positive, weighted Component Returns resulting from any and all appreciation in both the iShares® MSCI EAFE Index Fund and the iShares® MSCI Emerging Markets Index Fund, which appreciation may be significant.
  • 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, the price, if any, at which JPMS will be willing to purchase notes from you in secondary market transactions, if at all, will likely be lower than the original issue price, and any sale prior to the maturity date could result in a substantial loss to you. The notes are not designed to be short-term trading instruments. Accordingly, you should be able and willing to hold your notes to maturity.
  • NO INTEREST OR DIVIDEND PAYMENTS OR VOTING RIGHTS — As a holder of the notes, you will not receive interest payments, and you will not have voting rights or rights to receive cash dividends or other distributions or other rights that holders of securities composing any of the Component Underlyings would have.
  • THE NOTES ARE SUBJECT TO CURRENCY EXCHANGE RISK — Because the prices of the equity securities held by the Component Funds, which together comprise 40% of the Basket, are converted into U.S. dollars for the purposes of calculating the net asset value of such Component Funds, holders of the notes will be exposed to currency exchange rate risk with respect to each of the countries represented in the Component Funds. Your net exposure will depend on the extent to which such currencies strengthen or weaken against the U.S. dollar and the relative weight of the equity securities held by the Component Funds. If, taking into account such weighting, the U.S. dollar strengthens against the respective component currencies, the value of the applicable Component Funds, and consequently, the Basket Return, will be adversely affected and the payment at maturity may be reduced.
    Of particular importance to potential currency exchange risk are:
    • existing and expected rates of inflation;
    • existing and expected interest rate levels;
    • the balance of payments; and
    • the extent of government surpluses or deficits in the component countries and the United States of America.
  • All of these factors are in turn sensitive to the monetary, fiscal and trade policies pursued by the governments of issuing countries of such currencies and the United States and other countries important to international trade and finance.
  • THERE ARE RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THE COMPONENT FUNDS — Although shares of the Component Funds are listed for trading on NYSE Arca, Inc. (“NYSE Arca”) and a number of similar products have been traded on NYSE Arca and other national securities exchanges for varying periods of time, there is no assurance that an active trading market will continue for the shares of the Component Funds or that there will be liquidity in the trading market. The Component Funds are subject to management risk, which is the risk that the investment strategies of their investment adviser, the implementation of which is subject to a number of constraints, may not produce the intended results. BlackRock Fund Advisors (“BFA”) is currently the investment adviser for the Component Funds. BFA may invest up to 10% of a Component Fund’s assets in securities not included in the applicable Underlying Index, futures contracts, options on futures contracts, other types of options and swaps related to the applicable Underlying Index, as well as cash and cash equivalents, including shares of money market funds affiliated with BFA or its affiliates. Any such action could adversely affect the market price of the shares of either or both of the Component Funds, and consequently, the Basket Return and the value of the notes.

  • DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE COMPONENT FUNDS AND THEIR RESPECTIVE UNDERLYING INDICES — The Component Funds do not fully replicate their respective Underlying Indices, and their performance will reflect additional transaction costs and fees that are not included in the calculation of the respective Underlying Indices, all of which may lead to a lack of correlation between the Component Funds and their respective Underlying Indices. In addition, corporate actions with respect to the sample of equity securities (such as mergers and spin-offs) may impact the variance between the Component Funds and their respective Underlying Indices. Finally, because the shares of the Component Funds are traded on the NYSE Arca and are subject to market supply and investor demand, the market value of one share of a Component Fund may differ from the net asset value per share of such Component Fund. For all of the foregoing reasons, the performance of the Component Funds may not correlate with the performance of their respective Underlying Indices.
  • NON-U.S. SECURITIES RISK — The foreign equity securities held by the Component Funds have been issued by non-U.S. companies. Investments in notes linked to the value of such non-U.S. equity securities involve risks associated with the securities markets in those countries, including risks of volatility in those markets, governmental intervention in those markets and cross shareholdings in companies in certain countries. Also, there is generally less publicly available information about companies in some of these jurisdictions than about U.S. companies that are subject to the reporting requirements of the SEC, and generally non-U.S. companies are subject to accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards and requirements and securities trading rules different from those applicable to U.S. reporting companies.
  • EMERGING MARKETS RISK — The foreign equity securities held by the iShares® MSCI Emerging Markets Index Fund have been issued by non-U.S. companies located in emerging markets countries. Countries with emerging markets may have relatively unstable governments, may present the risks of nationalization of businesses, restrictions on foreign ownership and prohibitions on the repatriation of assets, and may have less protection of property rights than more developed countries. The economies of countries with emerging markets may be based on only a few industries, may be highly vulnerable to changes in local or global trade conditions, and may suffer from extreme and volatile debt burdens or inflation rates.  Local securities markets may trade a small number of securities and may be unable to respond effectively to increases in trading volume, potentially making prompt liquidation of holdings difficult or impossible at times. Moreover, the economies in such countries may differ favorably or unfavorably from the economy in the United States in such respects as growth of gross national product, rate of inflation, capital reinvestment, resources and self-sufficiency.  Any of the foregoing could adversely affect the market value of shares of the iShares® MSCI Emerging Markets Index Fund and the notes.
  • LACK OF LIQUIDITY — The notes will not be listed on any securities exchange. JPMS 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 JPMS is willing to buy the notes.
  • THE ANTI-DILUTION PROTECTION FOR THE COMPONENT FUNDS IS LIMITED — The calculation agent will make adjustments to the Share Adjustment Factor for a Component Fund for certain events affecting the shares of such Component Fund. However, the calculation agent will not make an adjustment in response to all events that could affect the shares of each Component Fund. 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.
  • MANY ECONOMIC AND MARKET FACTORS WILL IMPACT THE VALUE OF THE NOTES — In addition to the level or price of the Component Underlyings 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 Component Underlyings;
    • the time to maturity of the notes;
    • the dividend rates on the equity securities underlying the Component Underlyings;
    • interest and yield rates in the market generally as well as in the markets of the equity securities underlying the Component Underlyings;
    • a variety of economic, financial, political, regulatory and judicial events;
    • the exchange rate and the volatility of the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the currencies in which the equity securities held by the Component Funds are denominated and the correlation between those rates and the prices of shares of the Component Funds;
    • the occurrence of certain events to the Component Funds that may or may not require an adjustment to the Share Adjustment Factor; and
    • our creditworthiness, including actual or anticipated downgrades in our credit ratings.

What Is the Underlying Return for Each Component Underlying and the Corresponding Component Return for Each Basket Component Assuming a Range of Performance for Each Component Underlying?

The following table illustrates the hypothetical Underlying Return for each Component Underlying and the corresponding Component Return for each Basket Component. The hypothetical Underlying Returns and Component Returns set forth below assume a Starting Underlying Level of 650, $50 and $40 for the Russell 3000® Index, the iShares® MSCI EAFE Index Fund and the iShares® MSCI Emerging Markets Index Fund, respectively, and a Maximum Return of 12.50%, 20.50% and 18.30% for the Basket Components linked to the Russell 3000® Index, the iShares® MSCI EAFE Index Fund and the iShares® MSCI Emerging Markets Index Fund, respectively. The actual Maximum Total Returns will be set on the pricing date and will not be less than 12.50% or greater than 13.50% for the Russell 3000® Index, will not be less than 20.50% or greater than 21.50% for the iShares® MSCI EAFE Index Fund and will not be less than 18.30% or greater than 19.30% for the iShares® MSCI Emerging Markets Index Fund.

The hypothetical Underlying Returns and Component Returns set forth below are for illustrative purposes only and may not be the actual Underlying Returns and Component Returns applicable to a purchaser of the notes. The numbers appearing in the following table have been rounded for ease of analysis.

Hypothetical Examples of Amounts Payable at Maturity

The following examples illustrate how the payment at maturity is calculated under various hypothetical circumstances. You should review the following examples in conjunction with the hypothetical table set forth above, including the underlying assumptions described above. The hypothetical payments at maturity set forth below are for illustrative purposes only and may not be the actual payment at maturity applicable to a purchaser of the notes. The numbers appearing in the following examples have been rounded for ease of analysis.

Example 1: The level of the Russell 3000® Index increases from a Starting Underlying Level of 650 to an Ending Underlying Level of 682.50, the price of the iShares® MSCI EAFE Index Fund increases from a Starting Underlying Level of $50 to an Ending Underlying Level of $51.25, and the price of the iShares® MSCI Emerging Markets Index Fund increases from a Starting Underlying Level of $40 to an Ending Underlying Level of $40.40. Because the Ending Underlying Level of each Component Underlying is greater than its Starting Underlying Level, and each of the Underlying Returns of 5% for the Russell 3000® Index, 2.50% for the iShares® MSCI EAFE Index Fund and 1% for the iShares® MSCI Emerging Markets Index Fund, each multiplied by 1.5, does not exceed the applicable hypothetical Maximum Return of 12.50%, 20.50% and 18.30%, respectively, the Basket Return is calculated as follows:

[(5% x 1.5) x 60%] + [(2.50% x 1.5) x 25%] + [(1% x 1.5) x 15%] = 5.6625%

Accordingly, the investor receives a payment at maturity of $1,056.63 per $1,000 principal amount note, calculated as follows:

$1,000 + ($1,000 x 5.6625%) = $1,056.63

Example 2: The level of the Russell 3000® Index increases from a Starting Underlying Level of 650 to an Ending Underlying Level of 780, the price of the iShares® MSCI EAFE Index Fund increases from a Starting Underlying Level of $50 to an Ending Underlying Level of $65, and the price of the iShares® MSCI Emerging Markets Index Fund increases from a Starting Underlying Level of $40 to an Ending Underlying Level of $56. Because the Ending Underlying Level of each Component Underlying is greater than its Starting Underlying Level, and each of the Underlying Returns of 20.00% for the Russell 3000® Index, 30.00% for the iShares® MSCI EAFE Index Fund and

40.00% for the iShares® MSCI Emerging Markets Index Fund, each multiplied by 1.5, exceeds the applicable hypothetical Maximum Return of 12.50%, 20.50% and 18.30%, respectively, the Basket Return is calculated as follows:

(12.50% x 60%) + (20.50% x 25%) + (18.30% x 15%) = 15.37%

Accordingly, the investor receives a payment at maturity of $1,153.70 per $1,000 principal amount note, which reflects the hypothetical maximum payment at maturity, calculated as follows:

$1,000 + ($1,000 x 15.37%) = $1,153.70

Example 3: The level of the Russell 3000® Index increases from a Starting Underlying Level of 650 to an Ending Underlying Level of 780, the price of the iShares® MSCI EAFE Index Fund increases from a Starting Underlying Level of $50 to an Ending Underlying Level of $51.25, and the price of the iShares® MSCI Emerging Markets Index Fund increases from a Starting Underlying Level of $40 to an Ending Underlying Level of $40.40. Because the Ending Underlying Level of each Component Underlying is greater than its Starting Underlying Level, and the Underlying Return of 20.00% for the Russell 3000® Index multiplied by 1.5 exceeds the applicable hypothetical Maximum Return of 12.50%, while each of the Underlying Returns of 2.50% for the iShares® MSCI EAFE Index Fund and 1% for the iShares® MSCI Emerging Markets Index Fund, each multiplied by 1.5, does not exceed the applicable hypothetical Maximum Return of 20.50% and 18.30%, respectively, the Basket Return is calculated as follows:

(12.50% x 60%) + [(2.50% x 1.5) x 25%] + [(1% x 1.5) x 15%] = 8.6625%

Accordingly, the investor receives a payment at maturity of $1,086.63 per $1,000 principal amount note, calculated as follows:

$1,000 + ($1,000 x 8.6625%) = $1,086.63

Example 4: The level of the Russell 3000® Index decreases from a Starting Underlying Level of 650 to an Ending Underlying Level of 585, the price of the iShares® MSCI EAFE Index Fund decreases from a Starting Underlying Level of $50 to an Ending Underlying Level of $45, and the price of the iShares® MSCI Emerging Markets Index Fund decreases from a Starting Underlying Level of $40 to an Ending Underlying Level of $36. Because the Ending Underlying Level of each Component Underlying is less than its Starting Underlying Level by not more than 10%, the investor receives a payment at maturity of $1,000 per $1,000 principal amount note.

Example 5: The level of the Russell 3000® Index decreases from a Starting Underlying Level of 650 to an Ending Underlying Level of 455, the price of the iShares® MSCI EAFE Index Fund decreases from a Starting Underlying Level of $50 to an Ending Underlying Level of $40, and the price of the iShares® MSCI Emerging Markets Index Fund decreases from a Starting Underlying Level of $40 to an Ending Underlying Level of $24. Because the Ending Underlying Level of each Component Underlying is less than its Starting Underlying Level by more than 10%, the Basket Return is calculated as follows:

{[(-30% + 10%) x 1.1111] x 60%} + {[(-20% + 10%) x 1.1111] x 25%} + {[(-40% + 10%) x 1.1111] x 15%} = -21.1109%

Accordingly, the investor receives a payment at maturity of $788.89 per $1,000 principal amount note, calculated as follows:

$1,000 + ($1,000 x -21.1109%) = $788.89  

Example 6: The level of the Russell 3000® Index decreases from a Starting Underlying Level of 650 to an Ending Underlying Level of 455, the price of the iShares® MSCI EAFE Index Fund decreases from a Starting Underlying Level of $50 to an Ending Underlying Level of $45, and the price of the iShares® MSCI Emerging Markets Index Fund decreases from a Starting Underlying Level of $40 to an Ending Underlying Level of $24. Because the Ending Underlying Level of the iShares® MSCI EAFE Index Fund is less than its Starting Underlying Level by not more than 10% and the Ending Underlying Level of each of the other Component Underlyings is less than its Starting Underlying Level by more than 10%, the Basket Return is calculated as follows:

{[(-30% + 10%) x 1.1111] x 60%} + 0% + {[(-40% + 10%) x 1.1111] x 15%} = -18.33315%

Accordingly, the investor receives a payment at maturity of $816.67 per $1,000 principal amount note, calculated as follows:

$1,000 + ($1,000 x -18.33315%) = $816.67

Example 7: The level of the Russell 3000® Index increases from a Starting Underlying Level of 650 to an Ending Underlying Level of 682.50, the price of the iShares® MSCI EAFE Index Fund decreases from a Starting Underlying Level of $50 to an Ending Underlying Level of $40, and the price of the iShares® MSCI Emerging Markets Index Fund decreases from a Starting Underlying Level of $40 to an Ending Underlying Level of $24. Because the Ending Underlying Level of the Russell 3000® Index is greater than its Starting Underlying Level, and the Underlying Return of 5% multiplied by 1.5 does not exceed the applicable hypothetical Maximum Return of 12.50%, and the Ending Underlying Level of each of the other Component Underlyings is less than its Starting Underlying Level by more than 10%, the Basket Return is calculated as follows:

[(5% x 1.5) x 60%] + {[(-20% + 10%) x 1.1111] x 25%} + {[(-40% + 10%) x 1.1111] x 15%} = -3.2777%

Accordingly, the investor receives a payment at maturity of $967.22 per $1,000 principal amount note, calculated as follows:

$1,000 + ($1,000 x -3.2777%) = $967.22  

These returns and payouts on the notes shown above do not reflect fees or expenses that would be associated with any sale in the secondary market. If the fees and expenses were included, the hypothetical total returns and payouts shown above would likely be lower.
