General

The notes are designed for investors who seek capped exposure to any appreciation of the Indonesian rupiah relative to the U.S. dollar from and including the pricing date to and including the Observation Date, and who anticipate that the Reference Currency Return will be greater than or equal to the Knock-Out Buffer Percentage of at most -30.00%*. Investors should be willing to forgo interest payments and, if a Knock-Out Event occurs, be willing to lose some or all of their principal. If a Knock-Out Event has not occurred, investors have the opportunity to receive the greater of (a) the Contingent Minimum Return of at least 7.70%** and (b) the Reference Currency Return.
Any payment on the notes is subject to the credit risk of JPMorgan Chase & Co.
Senior unsecured obligations of JPMorgan Chase & Co. maturing October 18, 2012^†
Minimum denominations of $10,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof
The notes are expected to price on or about October 7, 2011 and are expected to settle on or about October 13, 2011.

JPMorgan Structured Investments —	TS-1
Single Observation Capped Market Plus Notes Linked to the Performance of the Indonesian Rupiah Relative to the U.S. Dollar

How Do Exchange Rates Work?

Exchange rates reflect the amount of one currency that can be exchanged for a unit of another currency.

The Spot Rate is expressed as the number of Indonesian rupiahs per U.S. dollar. As a result, a decrease in a Spot Rate from the pricing date to the Observation Date means that the Indonesian rupiah has appreciated / strengthened relative to the U.S. dollar from the pricing date to the Observation Date. This means that it would take fewer Indonesian rupiahs to purchase one U.S. dollar on the Observation Date than it did on the pricing date. Viewed another way, one Indonesian rupiah could purchase more U.S. dollars on the Observation Date than it could on the pricing date.

The notes do not provide a quadratic return, in U.S. dollar terms, on the appreciation of the Indonesian rupiah relative to the U.S. dollar. A quadratic return in U.S. dollar terms reflects the return that would be achieved by converting the principal amount of the notes from U.S. dollars into Indonesian rupiahs at the Starting Spot Rate on the pricing date and then, on the Observation Date, converting back into U.S. dollars at the Ending Spot Rate. Instead, subject to the Contingent Minimum Return, the return on the notes will be determined by reference to the Reference Currency Return formula set forth in this term sheet, which does not reflect a quadratic return in U.S. dollar terms.

As demonstrated by the examples below, under the Reference Currency Return formula, any appreciation of the Indonesian rupiah relative to the U.S. dollar will be diminished, as compared to a quadratic return, while any depreciation of the Indonesian rupiah relative to the U.S. dollar will be magnified, as compared to a quadratic return. In addition, the diminishing effect on any appreciation of the Indonesian rupiah relative to the U.S. dollar increases as the Reference Currency Return increases, and the magnifying effect on any depreciation of the Indonesian rupiah relative to the U.S. dollar increases as the Reference Currency Return decreases. Accordingly, your payment at maturity may be less than if you had invested in similar notes that use only the quadratic method for calculating currency returns.

The following examples assume a Starting Spot Rate of 9,000 for the Indonesian rupiah relative to the U.S. dollar.

Example 1: The Indonesian rupiah strengthens from the Starting Spot Rate of 9,000 Indonesian rupiahs per U.S. dollar to the Ending Spot Rate of 8,100 Indonesian rupiahs per U.S. dollar.

The Reference Currency Return is equal to 10.00%, calculated as follows:

(9,000 – 8,100) / 9,000 = 10.00%

By contrast, if the return on the Indonesian rupiah were determined using a quadratic return, the return would be 11.11%.

Example 2: The Indonesian rupiah strengthens from the Starting Spot Rate of 9,000 Indonesian rupiahs per U.S. dollar to the Ending Spot Rate of 90 Indonesian rupiahs per U.S. dollar.

The Reference Currency Return is equal to 99.00%, which demonstrates the effective cap of 100% on the Reference Currency Return, calculated as follows

(9,000 – 90) / 9,000 = 99.00%

By contrast, if the return on the Indonesian rupiah were determined using a quadratic return, which would not be subject to the effective cap of 100%, the return would be 9900%.

As Examples 1 and 2 above demonstrated, the diminishing effect on any appreciation of the Indonesian rupiah relative to the U.S. dollar increases as the Reference Currency Return increases.

Conversely, an increase in the Spot Rate from the pricing date to the Observation Date means that the Indonesian rupiah has depreciated / weakened relative to the U.S. dollar from the pricing date to the Observation Date. This means that it would take more Indonesian rupiahs to purchase one U.S. dollar on the Observation Date than it did on the pricing date. Viewed another way, one Indonesian rupiah could purchase fewer U.S. dollars on the Observation Date than it could on the pricing date.

Example 3: The Indonesian rupiah weakens from the Starting Spot Rate of 9,000 Indonesian rupiahs per U.S. dollar to the Ending Spot Rate of 9,900 Indonesian rupiahs per U.S. dollar.

The Reference Currency Return is equal to -10.00%, calculated as follows:

(9,000 – 9,900) / 9,000 = -10.00%

By contrast, if the return on the Indonesian rupiah were determined using a quadratic return, the return would be -9.09%.

Example 4: The Indonesian rupiah weakens from the Starting Spot Rate of 9,000 Indonesian rupiahs per U.S. dollar to the Ending Spot Rate of 18,000 Indonesian rupiahs per U.S. dollar.

The Reference Currency Return is equal to -100.00%, which demonstrates that there is no limit on the downside for the Reference Currency Return, calculated as follows:

(9,000 – 18,000) / 9,000 = -100.00%

By contrast, if the return on the Indonesian rupiah were determined using a quadratic return, the return would be -50.00%.

Because the Reference Currency Return may not be less than -100.00%, any further depreciation of the Indonesian rupiah relative to the U.S. dollar will not further reduce the Reference Currency Return.

As Examples 3 and 4 above demonstrated, the magnifying effect on any depreciation of the Indonesian rupiah relative to the U.S. dollar increases as the Reference Currency Return decreases.

The hypothetical Ending Spot Rates and Reference Currency Returns set forth above are for illustrative purposes only and have been rounded for ease of analysis.

Selected Purchase Considerations

CAPPED APPRECIATION POTENTIAL — The notes provide exposure to capped appreciation of the Indonesian rupiah relative to the U.S. dollar, at maturity. If a Knock-Out Event has not occurred, in addition to the principal amount, you will receive at maturity at least the Contingent Minimum Return of not less than 7.70% on the notes, for a minimum payment at maturity of at least $1,077 for every $1,000 principal amount note, subject to the credit risk of JPMorgan Chase & Co. The payment at maturity will not exceed $2,000 per $1,000 principal amount note. The actual Contingent Minimum Return will be set on the pricing date and will not be less than 7.70%. 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.
EXPOSURE TO THE INDONESIAN RUPIAH VERSUS THE U.S. DOLLAR — The return on the notes is linked to the performance of the Indonesian rupiah, which we refer to as the Reference Currency, relative to the U.S. dollar, which we refer to as the Base Currency, and will enable you to participate in any increase in the value of the Reference Currency relative to the U.S. dollar from the pricing date to the Observation Date, subject to the Contingent Minimum Return. The Reference Currency Return is effectively capped at 100%, with no limit on the downside. Please see “How Do Exchange Rates Work?” and “Selected Risk Considerations — Your Notes Are Subject to an Embedded Maximum Payment at Maturity,” and “Selected Risk Considerations — The Method of Calculating the Reference Currency Return Will Diminish Any Reference Currency Depreciation and Magnify and Reference Currency Depreciation Relative to the U.S. Dollar” in this term sheet for more information.
TAX TREATMENT — You should review carefully the section entitled “Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” in the accompanying product supplement no. 197-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 will generally be ordinary foreign currency income or loss under Section 988 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). However, under that Section, holders of certain forward contracts, futures contracts or option contracts generally are entitled to make an election to treat foreign currency gain or loss as capital gain or loss (a “Section 988 Election”). Although the matter is uncertain, it is reasonable to treat the Section 988 Election as available. Assuming the Section 988 Election is available, if you make this election before the close of the day on which you acquire a note, all gain or loss you recognize on a sale or exchange of that note should be treated as long-term capital gain or loss, assuming that you have held the note for more than one year. A Section 988 Election with respect to a note is made by (a) clearly identifying the note on your books and records, on the date you acquire it, as being subject to this election and filing the relevant statement verifying this election with your U.S. federal income tax return or (b) obtaining independent verification under procedures set forth in the Treasury regulations under Section 988. You should consult your tax adviser regarding the advisability, availability, mechanics and consequences of a Section 988 Election.
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 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. In 2007 the IRS also issued a revenue ruling holding that a financial instrument with some arguable similarity to the notes is properly treated as a debt instrument denominated in a foreign currency. The notes are distinguishable in meaningful respects from the instrument described in the revenue ruling. If, however, the reach of the revenue ruling were to be extended, it could materially and adversely affect the tax consequences of an investment in the notes for U.S. Holders, 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 the notice and revenue ruling described above. 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 paragraphs, 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 Reference Currency, the Base Currency or the exchange rate between the Reference Currency and Base Currency or any contracts related to


JPMorgan Structured Investments —	TS-3
Single Observation Capped Market Plus Notes Linked to the Performance of the Indonesian Rupiah Relative to the U.S. Dollar

the Reference Currency, the Base Currency or the exchange rate between the Reference Currency and the Base Currency. These risks are explained in more detail in the “Risk Factors” section of the accompanying product supplement no. 197-A-II dated September 21, 2011.

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 Reference Currency relative to the Base Currency and will depend on whether a Knock-Out Event has occurred and whether, and the extent to which, the Reference Currency Return is positive or negative. If the Reference Currency Return is less than the Knock-Out Buffer Percentage of at most -30.00%, a Knock-Out Event has occurred, the benefit provided by the Knock-Out Buffer Percentage of at most -30.00% will terminate and for every -1% of the Reference Currency Return, you will lose an amount equal to 1% of the principal amount of your notes. Under these circumstances, you could lose some or all of your principal.
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. For example, one of the duties of J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, which we refer to as JPMS, as calculation agent involves determining the Starting Spot Rate in the manner set forth on the cover page of this term sheet. Although the calculation agent will make all determinations and will take all actions in relation to the establishment of the Starting Spot Rate in good faith, it should be noted that such discretion could have an impact (positive or negative), on the value of your notes. The calculation agent is under no obligation to consider your interests as a holder of the notes in taking any actions, including the determination of the Starting Spot Rate, that might affect the value of your notes. The Starting Spot Rate may vary, and may vary significantly, from the rates displayed in publicly available sources at any time on the pricing date. If the Starting Spot Rate for the Reference Currency as determined by the calculation agent exceeds that reflected in the publicly available information, the Reference Currency must achieve a higher level for you to receive a positive return on your initial investment at maturity. JPMS will not have any obligation to consider your interests as a holder of the notes in making this determination.
THE BENEFIT PROVIDED BY THE KNOCK-OUT BUFFER PERCENTAGE MAY TERMINATE ON THE OBSERVATION DATE — If a Knock-Out Event occurs, the benefit provided by the Knock-Out Buffer Percentage will terminate and you will be fully exposed to any depreciation in the Reference Currency Return relative to the Base Currency.
CERTAIN BUILT-IN COSTS ARE LIKELY TO AFFECT ADVERSELY THE VALUE OF THE NOTES PRIOR TO MATURITY —While the payment at maturity, if any, described in this term sheet is based on the full principal amount of your notes, the original issue price of the notes includes the agent’s commission and the estimated cost of hedging our obligations under the notes. As a result, and as a general matter, the price, if any, at which 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 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.
THE REFERENCE CURRENCY RETURN IS SUBJECT TO AN EMBEDDED MAXIMUM RETURN — Because the Reference Currency Returns are expressed as (a) the Starting Spot Rate minus the Ending Spot Rate divided by (b) the Starting Spot Rate, the Reference Currency Return is subject to an embedded maximum return. In no event will the Reference Currency Return exceed 100%. Accordingly, your payment at maturity will not exceed $2,000 per $1,000 principal amount note.
THE METHOD OF CALCULATING THE REFERENCE CURRENCY RETURN WILL DIMINISH ANY REFERENCE CURRENCY APPRECIATION AND MAGNIFY ANY REFERENCE CURRENCY DEPRECIATION RELATIVE TO THE U.S. DOLLAR — The notes do not provide a quadratic return, in U.S. dollar terms, on the appreciation of the Indonesian rupiah relative to the U.S. dollar. A quadratic return in U.S. dollar terms reflects the return that would be achieved by converting the principal amount of the notes from U.S. dollars into Indonesian rupiahs at the Starting Spot Rate on the pricing date and then, on the Observation Date, converting back into U.S. dollars at the Ending Spot Rate. Instead, the return on the notes will be determined by reference to the Reference Currency Return formula set forth in this term sheet, which does not reflect a quadratic return in U.S. dollar terms. Under the Reference Currency Return formula, any appreciation of the Indonesian rupiah relative to the U.S. dollar will be diminished, as compared to a quadratic return, while any depreciation of the Indonesian rupiah relative to the U.S. dollar will be magnified, as compared to a quadratic return. The diminishing effect on any appreciation of the Indonesian rupiah relative to the U.S. dollar, which we refer to as an embedded


JPMorgan Structured Investments —	TS-4
Single Observation Capped Market Plus Notes Linked to the Performance of the Indonesian Rupiah Relative to the U.S. Dollar

variable decelerating upside leverage, increases as the Reference Currency Return increases. The magnifying effect on any depreciation of the Indonesian rupiah relative to the U.S. dollar, which we refer to as an embedded variable downside leverage, increases as the Reference Currency Return decreases. Accordingly, your payment at maturity may be less than if you had invested in similar notes that use only the quadratic method for calculating currency returns. See “How Do Exchange Rates Work?” in this term sheet for more information.

THE NOTES MIGHT NOT PAY AS MUCH AS A DIRECT INVESTMENT IN THE REFERENCE CURRENCY — You may receive a lower payment at maturity than you would have received if you had invested directly in the Indonesian rupiah or contracts related to the Indonesian rupiah for which there is an active secondary market.
THE NOTES ARE SUBJECT TO CURRENCY EXCHANGE RISK — Foreign currency exchange rates vary over time, and may vary considerably during the term of the notes. The value of a Reference Currency or the U.S. dollar is at any moment a result of the supply and demand for that currency. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates result over time from the interaction of many factors directly or indirectly affecting economic and political conditions in Indonesia, the United States and other relevant countries or regions.
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 in Indonesia and the United States, and between each country and its major trading partners;
- the monetary policies of Indonesia and the United States, especially as related to the supply of money; and
- the extent of governmental surplus or deficit in Indonesia and the United States.

All of these factors are, in turn, sensitive to the monetary, fiscal and trade policies pursued by Indonesia and the United States, and those of other countries important to international trade and finance.

THE VALUE OF THE REFERENCE CURRENCY RELATIVE TO THE U.S. DOLLAR MAY BE CORRELATED TO THE DEMAND FOR COMMODITIES — Indonesia depends heavily on the export of commodities and the values of the Indonesian rupiah relative to the U.S. dollar has historically exhibited high correlation to the demand for certain commodities. As a result, a decrease in the demand for the relevant commodities may negatively affect the value of the Indonesian rupiah relative to the U.S. dollar and, therefore, the value of the notes.
GOVERNMENTAL INTERVENTION COULD MATERIALLY AND ADVERSELY AFFECT THE VALUE OF THE NOTES — Foreign exchange rates can be fixed by the sovereign government, allowed to float within a range of exchange rates set by the government or left to float freely. Governments, including those of Indonesia and the United States, use a variety of techniques, such as intervention by their central bank or imposition of regulatory controls or taxes, to affect the exchange rates of their respective currencies. They may also issue a new currency to replace an existing currency, fix the exchange rate or alter the exchange rate or relative exchange characteristics by devaluation or revaluation of a currency. Thus, a special risk in purchasing the notes is that their trading value and amount payable could be affected by the actions of sovereign governments, fluctuations in response to other market forces and the movement of currencies across borders.
BECAUSE THE REFERENCE CURRENCY IS AN EMERGING MARKETS CURRENCY, THE VALUE OF THE NOTES IS SUBJECT TO AN INCREASED RISK OF SIGNIFICANT ADVERSE FLUCTUATIONS — The notes are linked to the performance of the Indonesian rupiahs, which is an emerging markets currency, relative to the U.S. dollar. There is an increased risk of significant adverse fluctuations in the performances of the emerging markets currencies as they are currencies of less developed and less stable economies without a stabilizing component that could be provided by one of the major currencies. As a result, emerging markets currencies may be subject to higher volatility than major currencies, especially in environments of risk aversion and deleveraging. With respect to any emerging or developing nation, there is the possibility of nationalization, expropriation or confiscation, political changes, government regulation and social instability. Currencies of emerging economies are often subject to more frequent and larger central bank interventions than the currencies of developed countries and are also more likely to be affected by drastic changes in monetary or exchange rate policies of the relevant countries, which may negatively affect the value of the notes. Global events, even if not directly applicable to Indonesia or its currency, may increase volatility or adversely affect the Reference Currency Return and the value of your notes.
EVEN THOUGH THE REFERENCE CURRENCY AND THE U.S. DOLLAR TRADE AROUND-THE-CLOCK, THE NOTES WILL NOT — Because the inter-bank market in foreign currencies is a global, around-the-clock market, the hours of trading for the notes, if any, will not conform to the hours during which the Indonesian rupiah and the U.S. dollar are traded. Consequently, significant price and rate movements may take place in the underlying foreign exchange markets that will not be reflected immediately in the price of the notes. Additionally, there is no systematic reporting of last-sale information for foreign currencies which, combined with the limited availability of quotations to individual investors, may make it difficult for many investors to obtain timely and accurate data regarding the state of the underlying foreign exchange markets.
CURRENCY EXCHANGE RISKS CAN BE EXPECTED TO HEIGHTEN IN PERIODS OF FINANCIAL TURMOIL — In periods of financial turmoil, capital can move quickly out of regions that are perceived to be more vulnerable to the effects of the crisis than others with sudden and severely adverse consequences to the currencies of those regions. In addition, governments around the world, including the United States government and governments of other major world currencies, have recently made, and may be expected to continue to make, very significant interventions in their economies, and sometimes directly in their currencies. Such interventions affect currency exchange rates globally and, in particular, the value of the Indonesian rupiah relative to the

U.S. dollar. Further interventions, other government actions or suspensions of actions, as well as other changes in government economic policy or other financial or economic events affecting the currency markets, may cause currency exchange rates to fluctuate sharply in the future, which could have a material adverse effect on the value of the notes and your return on your investment in the notes at maturity.

CURRENCY MARKET DISRUPTIONS MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT YOUR RETURN — The calculation agent may, in its sole discretion, determine that the currency markets have been affected in a manner that prevents it from properly determining, among other things, the Spot Rate and the Reference Currency Return. These events may include disruptions or suspensions of trading in the currency markets as a whole, and could be a Convertibility Event, a Deliverability Event, a Liquidity Event, a Taxation Event, a Discontinuity Event or a Price Source Disruption Event. See “Supplemental Terms of the Notes” in this term sheet and “General Terms of Notes — Market Disruption Events” in the accompanying product supplement no. 197-A-II for further information on what constitutes a market disruption event.
NO INTEREST PAYMENTS — As a holder of the notes, you will not receive interest payments.
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.
MANY ECONOMIC AND MARKET FACTORS WILL IMPACT THE VALUE OF THE NOTES — In addition to the Spot Rate 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 Indonesian rupiah and the U.S. dollar;
- the time to maturity of the notes;
- interest and yield rates in the market generally as well as in Indonesia and the United States;
- the exchange rate and the volatility of the exchange rates of the Indonesian rupiah relative to the U.S. dollar;
- suspension or disruption of market trading in the Indonesian rupiah or the U.S. dollar;
- a variety of economic, financial, political, regulatory and judicial events; and
- our creditworthiness, including actual or anticipated downgrades in our credit ratings.

What Is the Return on the Notes at Maturity, Assuming a Range of Performances for the Reference Currency Relative to the Base Currency?

The table and examples below illustrate the hypothetical total return at maturity on the notes. The “total return” as used in this term sheet is the number, expressed as a percentage, that results from comparing the payment at maturity per $1,000 principal amount note to $1,000. The hypothetical total returns set forth below assume a Starting Spot Rate of 9,000, a Contingent Minimum Return of 7.70% and a Knock-Out Buffer Percentage of 30.00%. The hypothetical total returns set forth below are for illustrative purposes only and may not be the actual payment at maturity applicable to a purchaser of the notes. You should consider carefully whether the notes are suitable to your investment goals. The numbers appearing in the table and examples below have been rounded for ease of analysis.

(1) The Reference Currency Return may not be less than -100% and the payment at maturity may not be less than $0.
(2) The Reference Currency Return is greater than or equal to the Knock-Out Buffer Percentage.
(3) The Reference Currency Return is less than the Knock-Out Buffer Percentage.

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 Reference Currency appreciates from the Starting Spot Rate of 9,000 to an Ending Spot Rate of 8,775 — a Knock-Out Event has not occurred. Because the Reference Currency Return of 2.50% is less than the hypothetical Contingent Minimum Return of 7.70%, the investor receives a payment at maturity of $1,077 per $1,000 principal amount note.

Example 2: The Reference Currency depreciates from the Starting Spot Rate of 9,000 to an Ending Spot Rate of 9,450 — a Knock-Out Event has not occurred. Although the Reference Currency has depreciated, because the Reference Currency Return of -5% is not less than the hypothetical Knock-Out Buffer Percentage of -30.00%, a Knock-Out Event has not occurred. Because the Reference Currency Return of -5% is less than the hypothetical Contingent Minimum Return of 7.70%, the investor receives a payment at maturity of $1,077 per $1,000 principal amount note.

Example 3: The Reference Currency appreciates from the Starting Spot Rate of 9,000 to an Ending Spot Rate of 8,100 — a Knock-Out Event has not occurred. Because the Reference Currency Return of 10% is greater than the hypothetical Contingent Minimum Return of 7.70%, the investor receives a payment at maturity of $1,100 per $1,000 principal amount note, calculated as follows:

$1,000 + ($1,000 × 10%) = $1,100

Example 5: The Reference Currency depreciates from the Starting Spot Rate of 9,000 to an Ending Spot Rate of 12,600 — a Knock-Out Event has occurred. Because the Reference Currency Return of -40% is less than the hypothetical Knock-Out Buffer Percentage of -30.00%, a Knock-Out Event has occurred and because the Reference Currency Return is -40%, the investor receives a payment at maturity of $600 per $1,000 principal amount note, calculated as follows:

$1,000 + ($1,000 × -40%) = $600

The hypothetical returns and 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 returns and hypothetical payouts shown above would likely be lower.

Historical Information

The following graph shows the historical weekly performance of the Indonesian rupiah relative to the U.S. dollar, expressed in terms of the conventional market quotation (the amount of the U.S. dollars that can be exchanged for one Indonesian rupiah, which we refer to in this term sheet as the exchange rate) as shown on Bloomberg Financial Markets, from January 6, 2006 through September 23, 2011. The exchange rate of the Indonesian rupiah relative to the U.S. dollar as reported by Bloomberg Financial Markets on September 30, 2011 was 9,090.

The historical exchange rates used to calculate the graph below were determined using the rates reported by Bloomberg Financial Markets and may not be indicative of the Spot Rate that would be derived from the applicable Reuters page.

The exchange rates displayed in the graphs below are for illustrative purposes only and do not form part of the calculation of the Reference Currency Return. The Reference Currency Return increases when the Indonesian rupiah appreciates in value against the U.S. dollar.

The Spot Rate on September 30, 2011 was 8,884, calculated in the manner set forth under “Key Terms — Spot Rate” on the front cover of this term sheet. We make no representation or warranty as to the accuracy or completeness of the information obtained from Bloomberg Financial Markets or Reuters Group PLC. The exchange rates displayed in the graph above should not be taken as an indication of future performance, and no assurance can be given as to the Spot Rate on the pricing date or the Observation Date. We cannot give you assurance that the performance of the Indonesian rupiah relative to the U.S. dollar will result in the return of any of your initial investment at maturity.
