Single Review Notes Linked to the iShares® MSCI Japan Index Fund due September 10, 2012

General

  • The notes are designed for investors who seek a fixed return of 11.25% at maturity if, on the Review Date, the iShares® MSCI Japan Index Fund is at or above the Trigger Price. If the notes are not automatically called, investors should be willing to lose up to 95% of their principal if the Final Share Price is less than the Initial Share Price by more than 5%. Investors in the notes should be willing to accept this risk of loss, and be willing to forgo interest and dividend payments, in exchange for the opportunity to receive a premium payment if the notes are automatically called. Any payment on the notes is subject to the credit risk of JPMorgan Chase & Co.
  • Senior unsecured obligations of JPMorgan Chase & Co. maturing September 10, 2012
  • Minimum denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof
  • The notes priced on August 5, 2011 and are expected to settle on or about August 10, 2011.

Additional Terms Specific to the Notes

You should read this pricing supplement together with the prospectus dated November 21, 2008, as supplemented by the prospectus supplement dated November 21, 2008 relating to our Series E medium-term notes of which these notes are a part, and the more detailed information contained in product supplement no. 144-A-IV dated January 29, 2010. This pricing supplement, together with the documents listed below, contains the terms of the notes and supersedes all other prior or contemporaneous oral statements as well as any other written materials including preliminary or indicative pricing terms, correspondence, trade ideas, structures for implementation, sample structures, fact sheets, brochures or other educational materials of ours. You should carefully consider, among other things, the matters set forth in “Risk Factors” in the accompanying product supplement no. 144-A-IV, as the notes involve risks not associated with conventional debt securities. We urge you to consult your investment, legal, tax, accounting and other advisers before you invest in the notes.

You may access these documents on the SEC website at www.sec.gov as follows (or if such address has changed, by reviewing our filings for the relevant date on the SEC website):

Our Central Index Key, or CIK, on the SEC website is 19617. As used in this pricing supplement, the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our” refers to JPMorgan Chase & Co.

Selected Purchase Considerations

  • APPRECIATION POTENTIAL — If the closing price of one share of the Index Fund is greater than or equal to the Trigger Price on the Review Date, your investment will yield a payment per $1,000 principal amount note of $1,000 plus a call premium amount of $112.50 (or 11.25% x $1,000). 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 — If the notes are not called, and the Final Share Price is less than the Initial Share Price by not more than 5%, you will be entitled to receive the full principal amount of your notes at maturity. If the Final Share Price is less than the Initial Share Price by more than 5%, for every 1% that the Final Share Price is less than the Initial Share Price by more than 5%, you will lose an amount equal to 1% of the principal amount of your notes. Accordingly, you will receive at payout equal to at least $50 per $1,000 principal amount note at maturity, subject to the credit risk of JPMorgan Chase & Co.

  • DIVERSIFICATION OF THE iSHARES® MSCI JAPAN INDEX FUND — The return on the notes is linked to the iShares® MSCI Japan Index Fund. The iShares® MSCI Japan Index Fund is an exchange-traded fund of iShares,® Inc., a registered investment company, which seeks investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the MSCI Japan® Index, which we refer to as the Underlying Index. The Underlying Index is a stock index calculated, published and disseminated daily by MSCI Inc. and is intended to provide performance benchmarks for the Japanese equity market. For additional information about the Index Fund, see Appendix A to this term sheet.

  • CAPITAL GAINS TAX TREATMENT — You should review carefully the section entitled “Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” in the accompanying product supplement no. 144-A-IV. 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, 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, which might include 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


JPMorgan Structured Investments — PS-1
Single Review Notes Linked to the iShares® MSCI Japan Index Fund

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.

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 material U.S. federal income tax consequences of owning and disposing of notes.

Selected Risk Considerations

An investment in the notes involves significant risks. Investing in the notes is not equivalent to investing directly in the Index Fund, the Underlying Index or any of the component securities held by the Index Fund or included in the Underlying Index. These risks are explained in more detail in the “Risk Factors” section of the accompanying product supplement no. 144-A-IV dated January 29, 2010.

  • YOUR INVESTMENT IN THE NOTES MAY RESULT IN A LOSS — The notes do not guarantee any return of principal in excess of $50 per $1,000 principal amount note, subject to the credit risk of JPMorgan Chase & Co. If the notes are not automatically called and the Final Share Price is less than the Initial Share Price by more than 5%, you will lose 1% of your principal at maturity for every 1% that the Final Share Price is less than the Initial Share Price by more than 5%. Accordingly, you could lose up to 95% of your initial investment at maturity.

  • 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 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. It is possible that such hedging or other trading activities of ours or our affiliates could result in substantial returns for us or our affiliates while the value of the notes declines.

  • LIMITED RETURN ON THE NOTES — Your potential gain on the notes will be limited to the call premium of 11.25%, regardless of the appreciation of the closing price of one share of the Index Fund, which may be significant. Because the closing price of one share of the Index Fund at various times during the term of the notes could be higher than on the Review Date, you may receive a lower payment at maturity than you would have if you had invested directly in the Index Fund.

  • CERTAIN BUILT-IN COSTS ARE LIKELY TO ADVERSELY AFFECT THE VALUE OF THE NOTES PRIOR TO MATURITY — While the payment upon an automatic call or at maturity described in this pricing supplement 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 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


JPMorgan Structured Investments — PS-2
Single Review Notes Linked to the iShares® MSCI Japan Index Fund

    or other rights that holders of shares of the Index Fund or the equity securities held by the Index Fund or included in the Underlying 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.

  • THERE ARE RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THE INDEX FUND — Although shares of the Index Fund 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 Index Fund or that there will be liquidity in the trading market. The Index Fund is subject to management risk, which is the risk that the investment strategies of its 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 Index Fund. These constraints could adversely affect the market price of the shares of the Index Fund, and consequently, the value of the notes.

  • DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE INDEX FUND AND THE UNDERLYING INDEX — The Index Fund does not fully replicate and may hold securities not included in the Underlying Index, and the performance of the Index Fund will reflect additional transaction costs and fees that are not included in the calculation of the Underlying Index, all of which may lead to a lack of correlation between the Index Fund and the Underlying Index. In addition, corporate actions with respect to the sample of equity securities (such as mergers and spin-offs) may impact the variance between the Index Fund and the Underlying Index. Finally, because the shares of the Index Fund are traded on the NYSE Arca and are subject to market supply and investor demand, the market value of one share of the Index Fund may differ from the net asset value per share of the Index Fund. For all of the foregoing reasons, the performance of the Index Fund may not correlate with the performance of the Underlying Index.

  • NON-U.S. SECURITIES RISK — The foreign equity securities that comprise the Index Fund 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. The prices of securities in foreign markets may be affected by political, economic, financial and social factors in those countries, or global regions, including changes in government, economic and fiscal policies and currency exchange laws. 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.

  • CURRENCY EXCHANGE RISK — Because the prices of the equity securities held by the Index Fund are converted into dollars for the purposes of calculating the net asset value of the Index Fund, holders of the notes will be exposed to currency exchange rate risk with respect to Japan. Your net exposure will depend on the extent to which the Japanese yen strengthens or weakens against the U.S. dollar and the relative weight of the equity securities held by the Index Fund. If, taking into account such weighting, the dollar strengthens against the Japanese yen, the value of the Index Fund will be adversely affected and the payment at maturity of the notes 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 Japan and the United States of America.

  • THE ANTI-DILUTION PROTECTION FOR THE INDEX FUND IS LIMITED — The calculation agent will make adjustments to the Share Adjustment Factor for certain events affecting the shares of the Index Fund. However, the calculation agent will not make an adjustment in response to all events that could affect the shares of the Index 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.


JPMorgan Structured Investments — PS-3
Single Review Notes Linked to the iShares® MSCI Japan Index Fund
  • MANY ECONOMIC AND MARKET FACTORS WILL IMPACT THE VALUE OF THE NOTES — In addition to the closing price of one share of the Index Fund 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 actual and expected volatility of the Index Fund;
    • the time to maturity of the notes;
    • the dividend rates on the equity securities underlying the Index Fund;
    • interest and yield rates in the market generally;
    • a variety of economic, financial, political, regulatory and judicial events;
    • the occurrence of certain events to the Index Fund that may or may not require an adjustment to the Share Adjustment Factor;
    • the exchange rate and the volatility of the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the Japanese yen in which the securities composing the Index Fund are denominated; and
    • our creditworthiness, including actual or anticipated downgrades in our credit ratings.

Hypothetical Examples of Amounts Payable upon Automatic Call or at Maturity

The following table illustrates the hypothetical simple total return (i.e., not compounded) on the notes that could be realized on the Review Date for a range of movements in the closing price of one share of the Index Fund as shown under the column “Closing Price Appreciation/Depreciation at Review Date.” The following table assumes a Trigger Price equal to a hypothetical Initial Share Price of $10.00. The table reflects that the call premium used to calculate the call price applicable to the Review Date is 11.25%, regardless of the appreciation of the closing price of one share of the Index Fund, which may be significant. There will be only one payment on the notes at maturity whether or not the notes are automatically called. The hypothetical 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 following examples illustrate how the total returns set forth in the table on the above are calculated.

Example 1: The closing price of one share of the Index Fund increases from the Initial Share Price of $10.00 to a closing price of $11.00 on the Review Date. Because the closing price of one share of the Index Fund on the Review Date of $11.00 is greater than the Trigger Price of $10.00, the notes are automatically called, and the investor receives a single payment of $1,112.50 per $1,000 principal amount note.


JPMorgan Structured Investments — PS-4
Single Review Notes Linked to the iShares® MSCI Japan Index Fund

Example 2: The closing price of one share of the Index Fund decreases from the Initial Share Price of $10.00 to a closing price of $9.50 on the Review Date. Because (a) the closing price of one share of the Index Fund on the Review Date of $9.50 is less than the Trigger Price of $10.00 and (b) the Final Share Price is less than the Initial Share Price by not more than 5%, the notes are not automatically called and the payment at maturity is the principal amount of $1,000 per $1,000 principal amount note.

Example 3: The closing price of one share of the Index Fund decreases from the Initial Share Price of $10.00 to a closing price of $7.00 on the Review Date. Because (a) the closing price of one share of the Index Fund on the Review Date of $7.00 is less than the Trigger Price of $10.00 and (b) the Final Share Price is less than the Initial Share Price by more than 5%, the notes are not automatically called and the investor receives a payment at maturity that is less than the principal amount for each $1,000 principal amount note, calculated as follows:

$1,000 + [$1,000 x (-30% + 5%)] = $750

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

Historical Information

The following graph sets forth the historical performance of the Index Fund based on the weekly closing price of one share of the Index Fund from January 6, 2006 through August 5, 2011 The closing price of one share of the Index Fund on August 5, 2011 was $9.99. We obtained the closing prices of the Index Fund 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 prices of the Index Fund should not be taken as an indication of future performance, and no assurance can be given as to the closing price of one share of the Index Fund on the Review Date. We cannot give you assurance that the performance of the Index Fund will result in the return of any of your initial investment in excess of $50 per $1,000 principal amount note, subject to the credit risk of JPMorgan Chase & Co.

Investment Objective and Strategy

     The iShares® MSCI Japan 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 the Japanese equity market, as measured by the MSCI Japan Index. The iShares® MSCI Japan Index Fund holds equity securities traded in Japan. The MSCI Japan Index was developed by MSCI Inc. (“MSCI”) as an equity benchmark for Japanese stock performance, and is designed to measure equity market performance in Japan. For more information about the MSCI Japan Index, please see “The MSCI Japan Index” below.

     As of June 30, 2011, the iShares® MSCI Japan Index Fund’s three largest equity securities were Toyota Motor Corporation; Honda Motor Company, Ltd. and Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group, Inc. Its three largest sectors were industrials, consumer discretionary and financials.

     The iShares® MSCI Japan Index Fund uses a representative sampling strategy (as described below under “— Representative Sampling”) to try to track the MSCI Japan Index. In addition, the iShares® MSCI Japan Index Fund may invest up to 10% of its assets in securities not included in the MSCI Japan Index but which BFA believes will help the iShares® MSCI Japan Index Fund track the MSCI Japan Index and in futures contracts, options on futures contracts, options and swaps relative to the MSCI Japan Index as well as cash and cash equivalents, including shares of money market funds advised by BFA or its affiliates.

Representative Sampling

     BFA uses a “representative sampling” indexing strategy to manage the iShares® MSCI Japan Index Fund. “Representative sampling” is an indexing strategy that involves investing in a representative sample of securities that collectively has an investment profile similar to the MSCI Japan Index. Securities selected are expected to have, in the aggregate, investment characteristics (based on factors such as market capitalization and industry weightings), fundamental characteristics (such as return variability and yield) and liquidity measures similar to those of the MSCI Japan Index. The iShares® MSCI Japan Index Fund may or may not hold all of the securities in the MSCI Japan Index.

Correlation

     The MSCI Japan Index is a theoretical financial calculation, while the iShares® MSCI Japan Index Fund is an actual investment portfolio. The performance of the iShares® MSCI Japan Index Fund and the MSCI Japan Index may vary due to transaction costs, non-U.S. currency valuation, asset valuations, corporate actions (such as mergers and spin-offs), timing variances and differences between the iShares® MSCI Japan Index Fund’s portfolio and the MSCI Japan Index resulting from legal restrictions (such as diversification requirements) that apply to the iShares® MSCI Japan Index Fund but not to the MSCI Japan Index or the use of representative sampling. “Tracking error” is the difference between the performance (return) of a fund’s portfolio and that of its underlying index. BFA expects that, over time, the iShares® MSCI Japan Index Fund’s tracking error will not exceed 5%. The iShares® MSCI Japan Index Fund, using a representative sampling strategy, can be expected to have a greater tracking error than a fund using a replication strategy. Replication is a strategy in which a fund invests in substantially all of the securities in its underlying index in approximately the same proportions as in the MSCI Japan Index.
