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. 32-A-II dated May 17, 2010. This pricing supplement, together with the documents listed below, contains the terms of the notes, supplements the term sheet related hereto dated August 9, 2011 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. 32-A-II, 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” and “our” refer to JPMorgan Chase & Co.

Supplemental Terms of the Notes

For purposes of this offering, all references to “Principal Protected Notes Linked to a Weighted Basket of Components” or “Principal Protected Notes” in the accompanying product supplement no. 32-A-II are deemed to refer to “Capped Notes Linked to the SPDR® Gold Trust.”

For purposes of this offering, the SPDR® Gold Trust is a “Basket Fund” as described in the accompanying product supplement no. 32-A-II.

For purposes of this offering, the “Payment at Maturity” described herein shall supersede “Payment at Maturity” as described in the accompanying product supplement no. 32-A-II. The minimum payment at maturity on the notes is $900 per $1,000 principal amount, subject to the credit risk of JPMorgan Chase & Co.

Capped Notes Linked to the SPDR® Gold Trust

Selected Purchase Considerations

  • POTENTIAL PRESERVATION OF AT LEAST 90% OF YOUR PRINCIPAL AT MATURITY — Subject to the credit risk of JPMorgan Chase & Co., the payout formula allows you to receive at least 90% of your initial investment in the notes if you hold the notes to maturity, regardless of the performance of the Index Fund. 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.
  • CAPPED APPRECIATION POTENTIAL — The notes provide capped exposure to appreciation of the Index Fund. The maximum payment at maturity is $1,400 for every $1,000 principal amount note. Because the notes are our senior unsecured debt obligations, payment of any amount at maturity is subject to our ability to pay our obligations as they become due.
  • DIVERSIFICATION OF THE SPDR® GOLD TRUST The return on the notes is linked to the SPDR® Gold Trust. The SPDR® Gold Trust seeks to reflect the performance of the price of gold bullion before expenses. For additional information about the Index Fund, see the information set forth under “The SPDR® Gold Trust” in the accompanying product supplement no. 32-A-II.
  • TAXED AS CONTINGENT PAYMENT DEBT INSTRUMENTS You should review carefully the section entitled “Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” in the accompanying product supplement no. 32-A-II. Notwithstanding any disclosure in that product supplement to the contrary, our special tax counsel in this transaction is Sidley Austin LLP. Subject to the limitations described therein, in the opinion of our special tax counsel, Sidley Austin LLP, the notes will be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as “contingent payment debt instruments.” You generally will be required to accrue taxable interest income in each year at a rate equal to our comparable yield, although we will not make any payments with respect to the notes until maturity. Interest included in income will increase your basis in your notes. Generally, any amount received at maturity or earlier sale or exchange in excess of your adjusted basis will be treated as additional interest income, while any loss will be treated as an ordinary loss to the extent of all previous inclusions with respect to your notes, which to that extent will be deductible against other income (e.g., employment and interest income), with the balance treated as capital loss, which may be subject to limitations. You should consult your tax adviser concerning the application of these rules. Purchasers who are not initial purchasers of notes at their issue price should consult their tax advisers with respect to the tax consequences of an investment in notes, including the treatment of the difference, if any, between the basis in their notes and the notes’ adjusted issue price.
    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 Sidley Austin LLP regarding the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of owning and disposing of notes.
  • COMPARABLE YIELD AND PROJECTED PAYMENT SCHEDULE — We have determined that the “comparable yield” is an annual rate of 1.89%, compounded semi-annually. Based on our determination of the comparable yield, the “projected payment schedule,” per $1,000 principal amount note, consists of a single payment at maturity equal to $1,078.60. Assuming a semi-annual accrual period, the following table states the amount of OID that will accrue with respect to a note during each calendar period, based upon our determination of the comparable yield and projected payment schedule.

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 or the commodity underlying the Index Fund. These risks are explained in more detail in the “Risk Factors” section of the accompanying product supplement no. 32-A-II dated May 17, 2010.

  • YOUR INVESTMENT MAY RESULT IN UP TO A 10% LOSS AT MATURITY — The return on the notes at maturity is linked to the performance of the Index Fund, and will depend on whether, and the extent to which, the Index Fund Return is positive. You will receive no more than 90% of the principal amount of your notes if the Index Fund Return declines by more than 10%.
  • YOUR RETURN ON THE NOTES IS LIMITED TO THE MAXIMUM RETURN OF 40% AT MATURITY — If the Final Share Price is greater than the Initial Share Price, for each $1,000 principal amount note, you will receive a payment

JPMorgan Structured Investments — PS-2
Capped Notes Linked to the SPDR® Gold Trust
    at maturity that will not exceed the maximum payment at maturity of $1,400, regardless of the appreciation in the Index Fund, which may be significant.
  • 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 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 activities 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. We will not have any obligation to consider your interests as a holder of the notes in taking any corporate action that might affect the value of the Index Fund and the notes.
  • CERTAIN BUILT-IN COSTS ARE LIKELY TO AFFECT ADVERSELY THE VALUE OF THE NOTES PRIOR TO MATURITY – While the payment 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 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. 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 Affect 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.
  • THE CORRELATION BETWEEN THE PERFORMANCE OF THE SPDR® GOLD TRUST AND THE PRICE OF GOLD MAY BE IMPERFECT — A discrepancy may exist between the performance of the SPDR® Gold Trust and the price of gold. In addition, because the shares of the SPDR® Gold Trust are traded on an exchange and are subject to market supply and investor demand, the market value of one share of the SPDR® Gold Trust may differ from the net asset value per share of the SPDR® Gold Trust. Because of the potential discrepancies identified above, the SPDR® Gold Trust return may not correlate with the return on gold over the same period.
  • THE PRICE OF ONE SHARE OF THE SPDR® GOLD TRUST IS LINKED CLOSELY TO THE PRICE OF GOLD, WHICH MAY CHANGE UNPREDICTABLY AND AFFECT THE VALUE OF THE NOTES IN UNFORESEEABLE WAYS — Investments in notes linked to the SPDR® Gold Trust, which tracks the price of a single commodity, are considered speculative. The SPDR® Gold Trust attempts to mirror as closely as possible, before fees and expenses, the performance of the price of gold bullion and the value of the underlying shares relate directly to the value of the gold held by the SPDR® Gold Trust. The gold market is generally 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. Gold prices may also be affected by industry factors such as industrial and jewelry demand as well as lending, sales and purchases of gold by the official sector, including central banks and other governmental agencies and multilateral institutions which hold gold. Additionally, gold prices may be affected by levels of gold production, production costs and short-term changes in supply and demand due to trading activities in the gold market. It is not possible to predict the aggregate effect of all or any combination of these factors.
  • 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 various 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. In addition, the Index Fund is subject to management risk, which is the risk that the strategy of World Gold Trust Services, LLC, the Index Fund’s investment advisor, the implementation of which is subject to a number of constraints, may not produce the intended results. Any of such actions could adversely affect the market price of the shares of the Index Fund, and consequently, the value of the notes.
  • TERMINATION OF THE SPDR® GOLD TRUST COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT THE VALUE OF THE NOTES — The SPDR® Gold Trust may be required to terminate and liquidate. If the SPDR® Gold Trust is required to terminate and liquidate, such termination and liquidation could occur at a time which is disadvantageous to you, such as when the price of gold is lower than the price of gold at the time when you purchased your securities.
  • THERE ARE RISKS RELATING TO COMMODITIES TRADING ON THE LONDON BULLION MARKET ASSOCIATION — On the Observation Date, your payment at maturity will be based on the value of the SPDR® Gold Trust. The value of the SPDR® Gold Trust is closely related to the price of gold. The reference price for gold is determined by fixing prices reported by the London Bullion Market Association (“LBMA”). The LBMA is a self-regulatory association of bullion market participants. Although all market-making members of the LBMA are supervised by the Bank of England and are required to satisfy a capital adequacy test, the LBMA itself is not a regulated entity. If the LBMA should cease operations, or if bullion trading should become subject to a value added tax or other tax or any other form of regulation currently not in place, the role of LBMA price fixings as a global benchmark for the value of gold may be adversely affected. The LBMA is a principals’ market which operates in a manner more closely analogous to an over-the-counter physical commodity market than regulated futures markets, and certain features of U.S. futures contracts are not present in the context of LBMA trading. For example, there are no daily price limits on the LBMA which would otherwise restrict fluctuations in the prices of LBMA contracts. In a declining market, it is possible that prices would continue to decline without limitation within a trading day or over a period of trading days. The LBMA may alter, discontinue or suspend calculation or dissemination of the official afternoon gold fixing levels in U.S. dollars per troy ounce which could adversely

JPMorgan Structured Investments — PS-3
Capped Notes Linked to the SPDR® Gold Trust
    affect the value of the notes. The LBMA has no obligation to consider your interests in calculating or revising the official afternoon gold fixing levels.
  • SINGLE COMMODITY PRICES TEND TO BE MORE VOLATILE THAN, AND MAY NOT CORRELATE WITH, THE PRICES OF COMMODITIES GENERALLY — The payment at maturity is linked to the price of the shares of the SPDR® Gold Trust, which is linked exclusively to gold and not to a diverse basket of commodities or a broad-based commodity index. The price of gold may not correlate to the price of commodities generally and may diverge significantly from the prices of commodities generally. Because the notes are linked to an Index Fund that tracks the price of a single commodity, they carry greater risk and may be more volatile than notes linked to the prices of multiple commodities or a broad-based commodity index.
  • 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 shares of the Index Fund or commodity or commodity futures contracts underlying the Index Fund would have.
  • 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 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.
  • MANY ECONOMIC AND MARKET FACTORS WILL AFFECT THE VALUE OF THE NOTES — In addition to the closing price per 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 in the Index Fund;
    • the time to maturity of the notes;
    • the occurrence of certain events affecting the Index Fund that may or may not require an adjustment to the Share Adjustment Factor;
    • global gold demand for and supply of gold;
    • a variety of economic, financial, political, regulatory and judicial events that affect the commodity underlying the Index Fund or commodities markets generally; and
    • our creditworthiness, including actual or anticipated downgrades in our credit ratings.

Sensitivity Analysis – Hypothetical Payment at Maturity for Each $1,000 Principal Amount Note

The following table and examples illustrate the payment at maturity for a $1,000 principal amount note for a hypothetical range of performances for the Index Fund Return from -80% to +80%, assume an Initial Share Price of $170 and reflect the Participation Rate of 100% and the maximum payment at maturity of $1,400 per $1,000 principal amount note. The following results are based solely on the hypothetical example cited. The hypothetical payments at maturity set forth below are for illustrative purposes only and may not be the actual payments at maturity applicable to a purchaser of the notes. The numbers appearing in the following table and examples have been rounded for ease of analysis.

Hypothetical Examples of Amounts Payable at Maturity

The following examples illustrate how the total returns set forth in the table above are calculated.

Example 1: The closing price of one share of the Index Fund increases from the Initial Share Price of $170 to a Final Share Price of $204. Because the Final Share Price of $204 is greater than the Initial Share Price of $170, and because the product of $1,000 plus $1,000 × the Index Fund Return × the Participation Rate is not greater than the maximum payment at maturity of $1,400, the final payment at maturity is equal to $1,200 per $1,000 principal amount note, calculated as follows:

$1,000 + ($1,000 × [($204 – $170)/$170] × 100%) = $1,200

Example 2: The closing price of one share of the Index Fund increases from the Initial Share Price of $170 to a Final Share Price of $255. Because the Final Share Price of $255 is greater than the Initial Share Price of $170, and because the product of $1,000 plus $1,000 × the Index Fund Return × the Participation Rate is greater than the maximum payment at maturity of $1,400, the final payment at maturity is equal to $1,400 for each $1,000 principal amount note, the maximum payment on the notes.

Example 3: The closing price of one share of the Index Fund decreases from the Initial Share Price of $170 to a Final Share Price of $161.50. Because the Final Share Price of $161.50 is lower than the Initial Share Price of $170, and because the product of $1,000 plus $1,000 × the Index Fund Return is greater than $900, the final payment at maturity is equal to $950 per $1,000 principal amount note, calculated as follows:

$1,000 + ($1,000 × [($161.50 – $170)/$170]) = $950

Example 4: The closing price of one share of the Index Fund decreases from the Initial Share Price of $170 to a Final Share Price of $136. Because the Final Share Price of $136 is lower than the Initial Share Price of $170, and because the product of $1,000 plus $1,000 × the Index Fund Return is less than $900, the final payment at maturity is equal to $900 for each principal amount note.

The hypothetical 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 these fees and expenses were included, the hypothetical total returns and payouts shown above would likely be lower.

Historical Information

The following graph sets forth the historical performance of the SPDR® Gold Trust based on the weekly closing price of one share of the Fund from January 6, 2006 through August 5, 2011. The closing price of one share of the Fund on August 11, 2011 was $170.67. We obtained the Index Fund closing prices 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 closing prices per share 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 per share of the Index Fund on the Observation Date. We cannot give you assurance that the performance of the Index Fund will result in a payment at maturity in excess of $900 per $1,000 principal amount note.
