Return Notes Linked to the S&P 500^® Index and the J.P. Morgan Strategic Volatility Index due January 10, 2013

General

•  The notes are designed for investors who seek exposure to the S&P 500^® Index and the J.P. Morgan Strategic Volatility Index. Investors should be willing to forgo interest payments and dividends and, if both the Equity Return and the Volatility Return are negative on the Observation Date or if the positive Index Return from one Index is not sufficient to offset a negative Index Return from the other Index on the Observation Date, be willing to lose some or a substantial portion of their principal. Any payment on the notes is subject to the credit risk of JPMorgan Chase & Co. 

•  The level of the Volatility Index incorporates the daily deduction of (a) an adjustment factor of 0.75% per annum (the “volatility index fee”) and (b) a “daily rebalancing adjustment amount” that is equal to the sum of (1) a rebalancing adjustment factor of between 0.20% and 0.50% per day (depending on the level of the VIX Index), applied to the aggregate notional amount of each of the VIX futures contracts hypothetically traded that day and (2) an additional amount equal to the rebalancing adjustment factor of between 0.20% and 0.50% per day (depending on the level of the VIX Index) applied to the amount of the change, if any, in the level of the exposure to the synthetic short position. Unlike the volatility index fee, the rebalancing adjustment factor is not a per annum fee. The level of the Volatility Index and the value of the notes will be adversely affected, perhaps significantly, if the performance of the synthetic long position and the contingent synthetic short position in the relevant VIX futures contracts, determined based on the official settlement prices of the relevant VIX futures contracts, is not sufficient to offset the daily deduction of the volatility index fee and the daily rebalancing adjustment amount. See “Selected Risk Considerations — The daily rebalancing adjustment amount is likely to have a substantial adverse effect on the level of the Volatility Index over time” below. 

•  The daily rebalancing adjustment amount is intended to approximate the “slippage costs” that would be experienced by a professional investor seeking to replicate the hypothetical portfolio contemplated by the Volatility Index at prices that approximate the official settlement prices (which are not generally tradable) of the relevant VIX futures contracts. Slippage costs are costs that arise from deviations between the actual official settlement price of a VIX futures contract and the prices at which a hypothetical investor would expect to be able to execute trades in the market when seeking to match the expected official settlement price of a VIX futures contract. 

•  The notes will be accelerated if the Average Index Return is less than the Acceleration Trigger Level on any day from but excluding the pricing date to but excluding the Observation Date. 

•  Senior unsecured obligations of JPMorgan Chase & Co. maturing January 10, 2013^† 

•  The notes will be sold in minimum denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof. 

•  The notes are expected to price on or about December 7, 2011 and are expected to settle on or about December 12, 2011. 

•  The notes will not be listed on any securities exchange. 

Key Terms

Equity Index:	S&P 500® Index (the “Equity Index”)
Volatility Index:	The J.P. Morgan Strategic Volatility Index (the “Volatility Index” and, together with the Equity Index, the “Indices” and each, an “Index”) (Bloomberg ticker symbol “JPUSSTVL”). For more information about the Volatility Index, please see “The J.P. Morgan Strategic Volatility Index” in this term sheet.
Payment at Maturity:	For each $1,000 principal amount note, you will receive at maturity a cash payment equal to: $1,000 + [$1,000 × (Equity Return + Volatility Return)] where the Equity Return and Volatility Return are each determined as of the Observation Date (which will be accelerated if an Acceleration Trigger Event occurs). In no event, however, will the payment at maturity be less than $0. You will lose some or a substantial portion of your initial investment at maturity if both the Equity Return and the Volatility Return are negative on the Observation Date or if the positive Index Return from one Index is not sufficient to offset a negative Index Return from the other Index on the Observation Date.
Equity Return:	On any relevant day, the Index Return of the Equity Index on that day
Volatility Return:	On any relevant day, the Index Return of the Volatility Index on that day
Acceleration Trigger Event:	An Acceleration Trigger Event will occur, and the notes will be accelerated, if the Average Index Return is less than the Acceleration Trigger Level on any Valuation Date. See “— Observation Date” and “— Maturity Date” below. Because an Acceleration Trigger Event will occur and your notes will be accelerated only if the Average Index Return is less than the Acceleration Trigger Level of -23%, you will likely lose some or a substantial portion of your initial investment if an Acceleration Trigger Event occurs.
Acceleration Trigger Level:	-23%

Return Notes Linked to the S&P 500® Index and the J.P. Morgan Strategic Volatility Index

The J.P. Morgan Strategic Volatility Index

The J.P. Morgan Strategic Volatility Index (the “Volatility Index”) is a synthetic, rules-based proprietary index developed and maintained by JPMSL. The level of the Volatility Index is published each trading day under the Bloomberg ticker symbol “JPUSSTVL.” The Volatility Index was created on July 30, 2010, and therefore has limited historical performance.

The Volatility Index is a synthetic, dynamic strategy that aims to replicate the returns from combining a long position and a contingent short position in futures contracts (each, a “VIX futures contract” and together, “VIX futures contracts”) on the CBOE Volatility Index^® (the “VIX Index”), where the synthetic long position and, when activated, the synthetic short position, after being established initially in the second-month VIX futures contract or the first-month VIX futures contract, respectively, are rolled throughout each month as described below. The VIX Index is a benchmark index designed to measure the market price of volatility in large cap U.S. stocks over 30 days in the future. The calculation of the spot level of the VIX Index is based on prices of put and call options on the S&P 500^® Index. Futures on the VIX Index allow investors the ability to invest in forward volatility based on their view of the future direction of movement of the VIX Index.

The Volatility Index is a rolling index, which rolls throughout each month. Unlike equities, which typically entitle the holder to a continuing stake in a corporation, futures contracts normally specify a certain date for the delivery of the underlying asset or financial instrument or, in the case of futures contracts relating to indices such as the VIX Index, a certain date for payment in cash of an amount determined by the level of the relevant index. As described in more detail below, the synthetic long position is maintained by synthetically selling VIX futures contracts on a daily basis that specify cash settlement on a nearby date and synthetically buying futures contracts on the VIX Index on a daily basis that specify cash settlement on a later date. On the other hand, the synthetic short position, when activated, is maintained by synthetically buying VIX futures contracts on a daily basis that specify cash settlement on a nearby date and synthetically selling VIX futures contracts on a daily basis that specify cash settlement on a later date. This process is known as “rolling” a futures position.

The synthetic long position rolls throughout each month from the second-month VIX futures contract into the third-month VIX futures contract. When activated, the synthetic short position rolls throughout each month from the first-month VIX futures contract into the second-month VIX futures contract. One of the effects of daily rolling is to maintain a specified weighted average maturity for the underlying VIX futures contracts. The weighted average maturity for the VIX futures contracts underlying the synthetic long position is approximately two months on any day and for the VIX futures contracts underlying the synthetic short position is approximately one month on any day.

Exposure to the synthetic short position will vary between 0% and 100%. The exposure to the synthetic short position will be increased by 20% on any Volatility Index Business Day (as defined in the accompanying product supplement) if the level of the VIX Index for each of the three immediately preceding Volatility Index Business Days was less than the rolling, weighted average of the first-month and second-month VIX futures contracts included (or that would have been included) in the synthetic short position, as long as the exposure to the synthetic short position is less than 100%. Conversely, the exposure to the synthetic short position will be decreased by 20% on any Volatility Index Business Day if the level of the VIX Index for each of the three immediately preceding Volatility Index Business Days was greater than or equal to the rolling, weighted average of the first-month and second-month VIX futures contracts included in the synthetic short position, as long as the exposure to the synthetic short position is greater than 0%. On any Volatility Index Business Day for which these conditions are not met, the synthetic short position will not be increased or decreased.

Because, at a minimum, eight Volatility Index Business Days will elapse from a change in the relative level of the VIX Index and the weighted average price of the relevant VIX futures contracts before the synthetic short position can be fully activated or deactivated, the Volatility Index is subject to a time lag. See “Selected Risk Considerations — Due to the time lag inherent in the Volatility Index, the exposure to the synthetic short position may not be adjusted quickly enough in response to a change in market conditions for the investment strategy on which the Volatility Index is based to be successful” below.

The Volatility Index aims to provide a synthetic long exposure to VIX futures contracts with a weighted average maturity of approximately two months. A synthetic long position may not generate positive returns when the market for VIX futures contracts is in “contango,” meaning that the price of a VIX futures contract with a later expiration is higher than the price of a VIX futures contract with an earlier expiration. Excluding other considerations, if the market for the relevant VIX futures contracts is in contango, the synthetic purchase of the third-month VIX futures contract in connection with the roll of the synthetic long position would take place at a price that is higher than the price at which the synthetic sale of the second-month VIX futures contract would take place, thereby creating a negative “roll yield.”

To address the potential for a negative roll yield when VIX futures contracts are in contango, the Volatility Index seeks to progressively activate a synthetic short position in VIX futures contracts with a weighted average maturity of approximately one month when the market for the relevant VIX futures contracts is in contango. Excluding other considerations, if the market for the relevant VIX futures contracts is in contango, the synthetic sale of the second-month VIX futures contract in connection with the roll of the synthetic short position would take place at a price that is higher than the price at which the synthetic purchase of the first-month VIX futures contract would take place, thereby creating a positive “roll yield,” which is intended to offset the negative roll yield generated by the synthetic long position. If, however, the VIX futures contracts are in “backwardation,” meaning that the price of a VIX futures

Return Notes Linked to the S&P 500® Index and the J.P. Morgan Strategic Volatility Index

contract with a later expiration is lower than the price of a VIX futurescontract with an earlier expiration, the roll of the synthetic short position would create a negative roll yield.

No assurance can be given that the Volatility Index’s strategy will be successful or that the Volatility Index will generate positive returns. See “Selected Risk Considerations” below.

On each Volatility Index Business Day, the calculation of the Volatility Index reflects the deduction of (a) an adjustment factor of 0.75% per annum (the “volatility index fee”) and (b) a “daily rebalancing adjustment amount” that is equal to the sum of (1) a rebalancing adjustment factor of between 0.20% and 0.50% per day (depending on the level of the VIX Index), applied to the aggregate notional amount of each of the VIX futures contracts hypothetically traded that day and (2) an additional amount equal to the rebalancing adjustment factor of between 0.20% and 0.50% per day (depending on the level of the VIX Index) applied to the amount of the change, if any, in the level of the exposure to the synthetic short position. Unlike the volatility index fee, the rebalancing adjustment factor is not a per annum fee. The daily rebalancing adjustment amount is intended to approximate the slippage costs that would be experienced by a professional investor seeking to replicate the hypothetical portfolio contemplated by the Volatility Index at prices that approximate the official settlement prices (which are not generally tradable) of the relevant VIX futures contracts. Slippage costs are costs that arise from deviations between the actual official settlement price of a VIX futures contract and the prices at which a hypothetical investor would expect to be able to execute trades in the market when seeking to match the expected official settlement price of a VIX futures contract.

For more information about the Volatility Index, VIX futures contracts and the VIX Index, please see “The J.P. Morgan Strategic Volatility Index” “Background on Futures Contracts on the CBOE Volatility Index^®” and “Background on the CBOE Volatility Index^®,” respectively, in the accompanying product supplement.

Selected Purchase Considerations

•  UNCAPPED APPRECIATION POTENTIAL — The notes provide the opportunity to obtain an uncapped return at maturity linked to the Equity Index and the Volatility Index (which will reflect the daily deduction of the volatility index fee and the daily rebalancing adjustment amount). The notes are not subject to a predetermined maximum return and, accordingly, any return will be based on the performances of the Indices (which, in the case of the Volatility Index, will reflect the daily deduction of the index fee and the daily rebalancing adjustment amount). Because the notes are our senior unsecured obligations, payment of any amount on the notes is subject to our ability to pay our obligations as they become due. 

•  RETURN LINKED TO THE S&P 500^® INDEX AND THE J.P. MORGAN STRATEGIC VOLATILITY INDEX — The return on the notes is linked in part to the S&P 500^® Index. The S&P 500^® Index consists of 500 component stocks selected to provide a performance benchmark for the U.S. equity markets. For additional information about the Index, see the information set forth under “The S&P 500^® Index” in the accompanying product supplement no. 19-I. 

The return on the notes is also linked in part to the J.P. Morgan Strategic Volatility Index. If the Index Return of the Volatility Index is positive, the return on the notes will be greater than it would have been had the notes been linked only to the Equity Index. The level of the Volatility Index incorporates the daily deduction of (a) an adjustment factor of 0.75% per annum (the “volatility index fee”) and (b) a “daily rebalancing adjustment amount” that is equal to the sum of (1) a rebalancing adjustment factor of between 0.20% and 0.50% per day (depending on the level of the VIX Index), applied to the aggregate notional amount of each of the VIX futures contracts hypothetically traded that day and (2) an additional amount equal to the rebalancing adjustment factor of between 0.20% and 0.50% per day (depending on the level of the VIX Index) applied to the amount of the change, if any, in the level of the exposure to the synthetic short position. Unlike the volatility index fee, the rebalancing adjustment factor is not a per annum fee. See “The J.P. Morgan Strategic Volatility Index” above and in the accompanying product supplement no. 19-I.     

•  CAPITAL GAINS TAX TREATMENT — You should review carefully the section entitled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” in the accompanying product supplement no. 19-I. The following discussion, when read in combination with that section, constitutes the full opinion of our special tax counsel, Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, regarding the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of owning and disposing of notes. 

Based on current market conditions, in the opinion of our special tax counsel it is reasonable to treat the notes as “open transactions” that are not debt instruments for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Assuming this treatment 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 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            

JPMorgan Structured Investments —	TS-3
Return Notes Linked to the S&P 500® Index and the J.P. Morgan Strategic Volatility Index

certain long-term capital gain as ordinary income and impose an interest charge. While the notice requests comments on appropriate transition rules and effective dates, any Treasury regulations or other guidance promulgated after consideration of these issues could materially and adversely affect the tax consequences of an investment in the notes, possibly with retroactive effect. Both U.S. and Non-U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisers regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the notes, including possible alternative treatments and the issues presented by this notice.    

Selected Risk Considerations

Your investment in the notes will involve significant risks. The notes do not guarantee any return of principal at, or prior to, the Maturity Date. Investing in the notes is not equivalent to investing directly in the Indices or any of the equity securities or VIX futures contracts included in the Indices. In addition, your investment in the notes entails other risks not associated with an investment in conventional debt securities. These risks are explained in more detail in the “Risk Factors” section of the accompanying product supplement no. 19-I dated November 14, 2011. You should carefully consider the following discussion of risks before you decide that an investment in the notes is suitable for you.

Risks relating to the Notes Generally

•  YOUR INVESTMENT IN THE NOTES MAY RESULT IN A LOSS — The notes may not return any of your initial investment. The return on your initial investment will reflect the performances of the Indices, and the performance of the Volatility Index will reflect the daily deduction of the volatility index fee and the daily rebalancing adjustment amount from the level of the Volatility Index. Please see “—You May Receive Less Than Your Initial Investment Due to the Volatility Index Fee and the Daily Rebalancing Adjustment Amount” below for more information. You will lose some or a substantial portion of your initial investment at maturity if both the Equity Return and the Volatility Return are negative on the Observation Date or if the positive Index Return from one Index is not sufficient to offset a negative Index Return from the other Index on the Observation Date. 

•  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, 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. If we were to default on our payment obligations, you may not receive any amounts owed to you under the notes and you could lose your entire investment. 

•  POTENTIAL CONFLICTS — We and our affiliates play a variety of roles in connection with the issuance of the notes, including acting as Note Calculation Agent, the Volatility Index Calculation Agent and the sponsor of the Volatility Index, and an agent for the offering of the notes and hedging our obligations under the notes. In performing these duties, the economic interests of the Note Calculation Agent, the Volatility Index Calculation Agent, the sponsor of the Volatility Index, an agent for the offering of the notes and other affiliates of ours are potentially adverse to your interests as an investor in the notes. It is possible that those 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. For example, in connection with the maintenance of the Volatility Index, JPMS may receive a portion of the aggregate profits, if any, that may be generated from time to time related to some portion of the deduction of the daily rebalancing adjustment amount from the level of the Volatility Index. 

•  JPMS AND ITS AFFILIATES MAY HAVE PUBLISHED RESEARCH, EXPRESSED OPINIONS OR PROVIDED RECOMMENDATIONS THAT ARE INCONSISTENT WITH INVESTING IN OR HOLDING THE NOTES. ANY SUCH RESEARCH, OPINIONS OR RECOMMENDATIONS COULD AFFECT THE MARKET VALUE OF THE NOTES — JPMS and its affiliates publish research from time to time on equity markets and other matters that may influence the value of the notes, or express opinions or provide recommendations that are inconsistent with purchasing or holding the notes. JPMS and its affiliates may have published research or other opinions that call into question the investment view implicit in an investment in the notes. Any research, opinions or recommendations expressed by JPMS or its affiliates may not be consistent with each other and may be modified from time to time without notice. Investors should make their own independent investigation of the merits of investing in the notes, the Equity Index, the equity securities underlying the Equity Index, the Volatility Index and the VIX futures contracts underlying the Volatility Index. 

•  CERTAIN BUILT-IN COSTS ARE LIKELY TO AFFECT ADVERSELY THE VALUE OF THE NOTES PRIOR TO MATURITY — 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 referred to under “Many Economic and Market Factors Will Affect the Value of the Notes” below. 

JPMorgan Structured Investments —	TS-4
Return Notes Linked to the S&P 500® Index and the J.P. Morgan Strategic Volatility 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 securities composing the Equity Index 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. 

•  MANY ECONOMIC AND MARKET FACTORS WILL AFFECT THE VALUE OF THE NOTES — In addition to the level of the Equity Index and the Volatility Index on any day, the value of the notes will be affected by a number of economic and market factors that may either offset or magnify each other, including but not limited to: 

•  prevailing market prices and forward volatility levels of the U.S. stock markets and the equity securities included in the Equity Index; 

•  prevailing market prices, volatility and liquidity of any option or futures contracts relating to the Volatility Index, the VIX Index, the Equity Index, the equity securities included in the Equity Index or VIX futures contracts; 

•  the actual and expected frequency and magnitude of changes (i.e., volatility) in the Volatility Index, the Equity Index and in the prices of the securities included in the Equity Index and the VIX futures contracts included in the Volatility Index; 

•  the level of correlation of the Indices; 

•  the time to maturity of the notes; 

•  the dividend rate on the equity securities included in the Equity Index (while not paid to holders of the notes, dividend payments on any equity securities included in the Equity Index may influence the level of the Equity Index and the market value of options on the Equity Index and therefore affect the market value of the notes); 

•  interest and yield rates in the market generally as well as in the markets of the equity securities included in the Equity Index; 

•  economic, financial, political, regulatory or judicial events that affect the equity securities included in the Equity Index, stock markets generally, the VIX Index, the market for VIX futures contracts or futures contracts generally; 

•  supply and demand in the listed and over-the-counter equity derivative markets; and 

•  our creditworthiness, including actual or anticipated downgrades in our credit ratings. 

Risks relating to the Payout Structure

•  THE RETURNS OF THE EQUITY INDEX AND THE VOLATILITY INDEX MAY OFFSET EACH OTHER — The payment at maturity on the notes will be determined in part by the performance of the Equity Index and in part by the performance of the Volatility Index. The returns of the Equity Index and the Volatility Index may not correlate with each other. At a time when the level of one Index increases, the level of the other Index may decline. Therefore, in determining the payment at maturity on the notes or whether an Acceleration Trigger Event has occurred, an increase in the level of one Index may be offset, in whole or in part, or more than offset, by a decline in the level of the other Index. 

•  IF BOTH INDICES DECLINE, THE EFFECT OF THE NEGATIVE PERFORMANCE OF ONE INDEX WILL BE ADDITIVE TO THE EFFECT OF THE NEGATIVE PERFORMANCE OF THE OTHER INDEX — It is possible that the returns of the Equity Index and the Volatility Index may both be negative, in which case the negative performance of one Index will be additive to the negative performance of the other Index. High correlation of movements in the Indices during periods of negative returns for both Indices could increase the likelihood of the occurrence of an Acceleration Trigger Event and could otherwise have an adverse effect on the payment at maturity on the notes. In addition, the payment at maturity on the notes is based on the sum of the Index Returns of the Indices on the Observation Date and not on the average of the Index Returns of the Indices on that date. As a result, the notes may not perform as well as notes with a return linked to one Index or the other or an average of the two Indices. 

•  THE CLOSING LEVEL OF AN INDEX ON THE OBSERVATION DATE MAY BE LESS THAN THE CLOSING LEVEL OF SUCH INDEX ON THE MATURITY DATE OR AT OTHER TIMES DURING THE TERM OF THE NOTES — The closing level of an Index on the Maturity Date or at other times during the term of the notes, including dates near the Observation Date, could be higher than the closing level of such Index on the Observation Date. This difference could be particularly large if there is a significant increase in the level of an Index after the Observation Date, if there is a significant decrease in the level of such Index prior to the Observation Date or if there is significant volatility in such Index during the term of the notes. 

•  YOU WILL LIKELY LOSE SOME OR A SUBSTANTIAL PORTION OF YOUR INITIAL INVESTMENT AT MATURITY IF THE NOTES ARE ACCELERATED DUE TO AN ACCELERATION TRIGGER EVENT — The notes will be accelerated if the Average Index Return is less than the Acceleration Trigger Level on any Valuation Date. Because an Acceleration

Trigger Event will occur and your notes will be accelerated only if the Average Index Return is less than the Acceleration Trigger Level of 23%, you will likely lose some or a substantial portion of your initial investment at maturity if an Acceleration Trigger Event occurs. You will not benefit from any subsequent appreciation of either Index.   

•  IF THE NOTES ARE ACCELERATED DUE TO AN ACCELERATION TRIGGER EVENT, YOU WILL BE EXPOSED TO REINVESTMENT RISK — If the notes are accelerated due to an Acceleration Trigger Event, the holding period could be significantly less than the full term of the notes. There is no guarantee that you would be able to reinvest the proceeds from an investment in the notes in an investment with similar characteristics. 

Risks relating to the Equity Index and the Volatility Index

•  WE ARE CURRENTLY ONE OF THE COMPANIES THAT MAKE UP THE EQUITY INDEX — We are currently one of the companies that make up the Index. To our knowledge, we are not currently affiliated with any other issuers the equity securities of which are included in the Equity 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 Equity Index and the notes. 

•  YOU MAY RECEIVE LESS THAN YOUR INITIAL INVESTMENT DUE TO THE VOLATILITY INDEX FEE AND THE DAILY REBALANCING ADJUSTMENT AMOUNT — Because the closing level of the Volatility Index reflects the daily deduction of the volatility index fee and the daily rebalancing adjustment amount, the level of the Volatility Index will decrease if the performance of the VIX futures contracts included in the Volatility Index, based on their official settlement prices, is not sufficient to offset the deduction of the volatility index fee and the daily rebalancing adjustment amount. Please see “— The Daily Rebalancing Adjustment Amount Is Likely to Have a Substantial Adverse Effect on the Level of the Volatility Index Over Time” below for more information. Any decrease in the level of the Volatility Index (due to the volatility index fee, daily rebalancing adjustment amount or otherwise) will have a negative effect, which may be significant, on the payment at maturity on the notes. 

•  THE DAILY REBALANCING ADJUSTMENT AMOUNT IS LIKELY TO HAVE A SUBSTANTIAL ADVERSE EFFECT ON THE LEVEL OF THE VOLATILITY INDEX OVER TIME — Unlike the volatility index fee, the rebalancing adjustment factor, which is used to calculate the daily rebalancing adjustment amount, is not a per annum fee. The daily rebalancing adjustment amount is equal to the sum of (1) a rebalancing adjustment factor of between 0.20% and 0.50% per day (depending on the level of the VIX Index), applied to the aggregate notional amount of each of the VIX futures contracts hypothetically traded that day and (2) an additional amount equal to the rebalancing adjustment factor of between 0.20% and 0.50% per day (depending on the level of the VIX Index) applied to the amount of the change, if any, in the level of the exposure to the synthetic short position. 

The daily rebalancing adjustment amount, which is deducted from the level of the Volatility Index each day, is intended to approximate the slippage costs that would be experienced by a professional investor seeking to replicate the hypothetical portfolio contemplated by the Volatility Index at prices that approximate the official settlement prices (which are not generally tradable) of the relevant VIX futures contracts. Slippage costs are costs that arise from deviations between the actual official settlement price of a VIX futures contract and the prices at which a hypothetical investor would expect to be able to execute trades in the market when seeking to match the expected official settlement price of a VIX futures contract. However, the actual slippage costs that would be incurred if a professional investor were to seek to replicate such a portfolio may be higher or lower than the daily rebalancing adjustment amount used in the calculation of the Volatility Index.  

Assuming that (a) the level of the VIX Index is equal to or less than 35 (which corresponds to the lowest rate of 0.20% per day for the rebalancing adjustment factor) and (b) the synthetic short position is fully activated, the performance of the Volatility Index would be lower by 0.80% over a one-month roll period (or lower by 9.60% over the course of a year) as compared to the performance of a hypothetical alternative index based solely on the official settlement prices of the VIX futures contracts and the deduction of the volatility index fee but without accounting for a deduction of a daily rebalancing adjustment amount. 

When the level of the VIX Index is greater than 35, the rebalancing adjustment factor will be greater than 0.20% and can be up to 0.50% per day. In this case, the impact on the Volatility Index performance due to the daily rebalancing adjustment amount will be substantially greater. For example, if the level of the VIX Index is greater than 70 (which corresponds to the highest rate of 0.50% per day for the rebalancing adjustment factor) and the synthetic short position is fully activated, the performance of the Volatility Index would be lower by 2.0% over a one-month roll period as compared to the performance of a hypothetical alternative index based solely on the official settlement prices of the VIX futures contracts and the deduction of the volatility index fee, without accounting for a deduction of a daily rebalancing adjustment amount. However, the VIX Index historically has not remained at such elevated levels for more than a few days, weeks or months at a time. Nevertheless, we cannot provide any assurance that the VIX Index will consistently remain at or below 35 (which corresponds to the lowest rate of 0.20% per day for the rebalancing adjustment factor) over the term of the notes. 

In addition, on days on which the amount of the exposure to the synthetic short position is adjusted (which adjustments occur in increments of 20% per day), in determining the daily rebalancing adjustment amount, the rebalancing adjustment factor of between 0.20% and 0.50% per day is effectively applied to an amount of up to

twice the change in the exposure to the synthetic short position. Therefore, a change in the exposure to the synthetic short position will also result in a substantial increase in the daily rebalancing adjustment amount. 

While the amount of the daily rebalancing adjustment amount cannot be predicted with certainty, the daily rebalancing adjustment amount is likely to have a substantial adverse effect on the level of the Volatility Index over time. For more information about the daily rebalancing adjustment amount, see “The J.P. Morgan Strategic Volatility Index — II. Calculation and Publication of Volatility Index Levels — B.

•  NOTES THAT PROVIDE EXPOSURE TO EQUITY VOLATILITY, WHICH ARE SUBJECT TO SIGNIFICANT FLUCTUATIONS, ARE NOT SUITABLE FOR ALL INVESTORS. YOU SHOULD ACTIVELY MANAGE YOUR INVESTMENT IN THE NOTES — Notes that provide exposure to equity volatility are not suitable for all investors. The notes reflect, in part, the performance of the Volatility Index, which is dependent on the price of the VIX futures contracts included in the Volatility Index. VIX futures contracts allow investors the ability to invest in forward equity volatility based on their view of the future direction of movement of the VIX Index, which is a benchmark index designed to measure the market price of volatility in large cap U.S. stocks, and is calculated based on the prices of certain put and call options on the S&P 500^® Index. 

The  notes should be purchased only by sophisticated investors who understand risks associated with investments linked to equity volatility and who intend to monitor and manage their investments actively. You should consider your investment horizon and objectives, financial resources and risk tolerance, as well as any potential trading costs, when evaluating an investment in the notes. Investors should regularly monitor their investment in the notes to ensure that it remains consistent with their investment objectives.  

•  WHEN THE SYNTHETIC SHORT POSITION IS ACTIVATED, THE RETURN OF THE VOLATILITY INDEX IS DEPENDENT ON THE NET PERFORMANCE, NOT THE ABSOLUTE PERFORMANCE, OF THE SYNTHETIC POSITIONS — When the synthetic short position is activated, the return of the Volatility Index is dependent on the net performance of the synthetic long position minus the synthetic short position (taking into account the exposure to the synthetic short position). Under these circumstances, the absolute performance of the synthetic long position and the synthetic short position is not relevant to the return of the Volatility Index. The level of the Volatility Index and the value of the notes may decline, perhaps significantly, even if the synthetic long position generates a positive return. 

•  THERE IS UNLIMITED LOSS EXPOSURE TO THE SYNTHETIC SHORT POSITION, WHEN ACTIVATED, AND SUCH EXPOSURE MAY RESULT IN A SIGNIFICANT DROP IN THE LEVEL OF THE VOLATILITY INDEX — The Volatility Index employs a technique generally known as a “long-short” strategy when the synthetic short position is activated. This means the Volatility Index reflects the net return of a synthetic long position and a synthetic short position and will suffer losses when the value of the VIX futures contracts underlying the synthetic short position increases. In a long-short strategy, the maximum increase in the value of the synthetic long position is unlimited, while the maximum decrease in the value of the synthetic long position is limited to a loss of the entire value of the VIX futures contracts underlying the synthetic long position. On the other hand, the maximum increase of the value of the synthetic short position is limited to a loss of the entire value of VIX futures contracts underlying the synthetic short position, while the maximum decrease in value of the synthetic short position is unlimited. Because there is no limit to possible increases in the value of the VIX futures contracts underlying the synthetic short position, the potential losses as a result of short exposure are unlimited; however, in no event will you lose more than your entire investment in the notes. 

•  THE VOLATILITY INDEX MAY NOT BE SUCCESSFUL AND MAY NOT OUTPERFORM ANY ALTERNATIVE STRATEGY THAT MIGHT BE EMPLOYED WITH RESPECT TO THE VIX FUTURES CONTRACTS UNDERLYING THE VOLATILITY INDEX — The Volatility Index follows a proprietary strategy that operates on the basis of pre-determined rules. No assurance can be given that the investment strategy on which the Volatility Index is based will be successful or that the 

JPMorgan Structured Investments —	TS-7
Return Notes Linked to the S&P 500® Index and the J.P. Morgan Strategic Volatility Index

Volatility Index will outperform any alternative strategy that might be employed with respect to the VIX futures contracts underlying the Volatility Index.  

•  CHANGING PRICES OF THE VIX FUTURES CONTRACTS INCLUDED IN THE VOLATILITY INDEX MAY RESULT IN A REDUCED AMOUNT PAYABLE AT MATURITY — The Volatility Index is a rolling index, which rolls throughout each month. Futures contracts normally specify a certain date for the delivery of the underlying asset or financial instrument or, in the case of futures contracts relating to indices such as the VIX Index, a certain date for payment in cash of an amount determined by the level of the relevant index. As the VIX futures contracts included in the Volatility Index approach expiration, they are replaced by similar contracts that have a later expiration. Thus, for example, a VIX futures contract purchased and held in August may specify an October expiration. As time passes, the contract expiring in October may be gradually replaced by a contract for delivery in November, through incremental synthetic sales of a portion of the position in the October contract, accompanied by incremental synthetic purchases of the November contract. This process is referred to as “rolling.” 

The synthetic long position is not likely to generate positive returns when the market for VIX futures contracts is in “contango,” meaning that the price of a VIX futures contract with a later expiration is higher than the price of a VIX futures contract with an earlier expiration. Excluding other considerations, if the market for the relevant VIX futures contracts is in contango, the purchase of the third-month VIX futures contract in connection with the roll of the synthetic long position would take place at a price that is higher than the price of the sale of the second-month VIX futures contract, thereby creating a negative “roll yield.” Contango in VIX futures contracts is typical in a low-volatility market environment.  

To address this potential weakness, the Volatility Index seeks to progressively activate a synthetic short position in short-dated VIX futures contracts when the relevant VIX futures contracts are in contango. Excluding other considerations, if the market for the relevant VIX futures contracts is in contango, the sale of the second-month VIX futures contract in connection with the roll of the synthetic short position would take place at a price that is higher than the price of the purchase of the first-month VIX futures contract, thereby creating a positive “roll yield,” which is intended to offset or possibly exceed the negative roll yield generated by the synthetic long position. If, however, the VIX futures contracts are in “backwardation,” meaning that the price of a VIX futures contract with a later expiration is lower than the price of a VIX futures contract with an earlier expiration, the roll of the synthetic short position would create a negative roll yield. Backwardation in VIX futures contracts is typical in a high-volatility market environment. When the relevant VIX futures contracts are in backwardation, the Volatility Index seeks to progressively deactivate the synthetic short position.  

While the Volatility Index strategy is intended to cause the synthetic short position to be fully activated during periods when the market for VIX futures contracts is in contango so that positive roll yields from the synthetic short exposure will offset or possibly exceed negative roll yields from the synthetic long position, no assurance can be given that the investment strategy on which the Volatility Index is based will be successful. In addition, while the Volatility Index strategy is intended to cause the short position to be fully deactivated during periods when the market for the relevant VIX futures contracts are in backwardation so that negative roll yields for the synthetic short position would be avoided, no assurance can be given that negative roll yields will be avoided. See “— Due to the time lag inherent in the Volatility Index, the exposure to the synthetic short position may not be adjusted quickly enough in response to a change in market conditions for the investment strategy on which the Volatility Index is based to be successful” below for more information.  

•  THE LEVEL OF THE VOLATILITY INDEX MAY NOT INCREASE EVEN WHEN THE SYNTHETIC LONG POSITION OR THE SYNTHETIC SHORT POSITION, WHEN ACTIVATED, GENERATES A POSITIVE RETURN — The performance of a rolling excess return index, like the Volatility Index, is affected by the price return of the futures contracts underlying the index and the roll return from rolling such futures contracts over time. See “— The Volatility Index Is an Excess Return Index, and Not a Total Return Index.” In addition, the performance of a long-short index, such as the Volatility Index when the contingent synthetic short position is activated, is affected by the relative performance of the synthetic long position and the synthetic short position, and not by the absolute performance of either synthetic position. See “— When the Synthetic Short Position Is Activated, the Return of the Volatility Index Is Dependent on the Net Performance, Not the Absolute Performance, of the Synthetic Positions.” Furthermore, the Volatility Index rolls its futures contracts throughout each monthly rebalancing period in order to keep the weighted average maturity of the relevant futures contracts underlying the synthetic positions to a specified level (approximately two months for the synthetic long position and approximately one month for the synthetic short position). Finally, when activating the synthetic short position, the Volatility Index does so progressively in 20% increments on each rebalancing day (so long as the conditions for activating the synthetic short position continue to hold true on such day) until it is fully activated; however, the synthetic short position may not be fully activated, may remain partially activated for a sustained period of time or may not be activated at all. 

Effect of Market Conditions on the Performance of the Synthetic Positions  

When the market for VIX futures contracts is in contango, the price of VIX futures contracts will decrease as the contracts move nearer to maturity. Under these market conditions, the price return of each VIX futures contract that composes the synthetic long position generally will be negative, and the roll return generally will also be

Return Notes Linked to the S&P 500® Index and the J.P. Morgan Strategic Volatility Index

negative. Therefore, under these market conditions, and if the synthetic short position is not activated, generally, we expect the level of the Volatility Index to decline. Conversely, under these market conditions, when the synthetic short position is activated, although the price return of each VIX futures contract that composes the synthetic short position generally will also be negative, because this is a synthetic short position, the negative price return of the relevant VIX futures contracts will generate a positive return for the synthetic short position. In addition, the roll return generally will also be positive. Therefore, generally under these market conditions, the synthetic short position, when activated, will generate a positive return. However, recall that, for a long-short index, the absolute performance of each synthetic position is irrelevant and only the relative performance of the two synthetic positions matters. Accordingly, under these market conditions, when the synthetic short position is activated, generally, we expect the level of the Volatility Index to decline if the positive return from the synthetic short position is not sufficient to offset the negative return from the synthetic long position.  

When the market for VIX futures contracts is in backwardation, the price of VIX futures contracts will increase as the contracts move nearer to maturity. Under these market conditions, the price return of each VIX futures contract that composes the synthetic long position generally will be positive, and the roll return generally will also be positive. Therefore, under these market conditions and if the synthetic short position is not activated, generally, we expect the level of the Volatility Index to increase. Conversely, under these market conditions, when the synthetic short position is activated, although the price return of each VIX futures contract that composes the synthetic short position generally will also be positive, because this is a synthetic short position, the positive price return of the relevant VIX futures contracts will generate a negative return for the synthetic short position. In addition, the roll return generally will also be negative. Therefore, generally under these market conditions, the synthetic short position, when activated, will generate a negative return. However, when the synthetic short position is activated, only the relative performance of the two synthetic positions matter. Accordingly, under these market conditions, when the synthetic short position is activated, generally, we expect the level of the Volatility Index to decline if the positive return from the synthetic long position is not sufficient to offset the negative return from the synthetic short position.  

In some cases, the market for VIX futures contracts may not be in backwardation or contango, and the price of one VIX futures contract underlying a synthetic position may increase while the other VIX futures contracts underlying the same synthetic position may decrease. In this situation, whether synthetic position generates positive or negative returns will depend on the relative weights and price movements of the VIX futures contracts underlying the synthetic position.  

Effect of the Performance of the Synthetic Positions on the Level of the Volatility Index  

Generally, we expect the level of the Volatility Index to increase in either of the following situations, assuming, in each case, that the return from the synthetic long position (if the synthetic short position is not activated) or the net return of the synthetic positions (when the synthetic short position is activated) is sufficient to offset the negative effect of the volatility index fee and the daily rebalancing adjustment amount:  

•  the synthetic long position generates a negative return, but the synthetic short position generates a positive return that is greater than the negative return generated by the synthetic long position; or 

•  the synthetic long position generates a positive return and the synthetic short position is not activated. 

Conversely, we expect the level of the Volatility Index to decrease in any one of the following four situations:            

•  the return from the synthetic long position (if the synthetic short position is not activated) or the net return of the synthetic positions (when the synthetic short position is activated) is not sufficient to offset the negative effect of the volatility index fee and the daily rebalancing adjustment amount; 

•  the synthetic long position generates a negative return and the synthetic short position is not activated; 

•  both synthetic positions generate negative returns; or 

•  the negative return generated by one synthetic position is greater than the positive return generated by the other synthetic position. 

There can be no assurance that the synthetic positions will always correlate in a manner that will result in an increase in the level of the Volatility Index.  

•  BECAUSE EXPOSURE TO THE SYNTHETIC SHORT POSITION IS ADJUSTED ONLY IF THE APPLICABLE CONDITIONS ARE SATISFIED FOR THREE CONSECUTIVE VOLATILITY INDEX BUSINESS DAYS, THE EXPOSURE TO THE SYNTHETIC SHORT POSITION MAY NOT BE ADJUSTED DURING NON-TRENDING MARKET CONDITIONS — Because exposure to the synthetic short position is adjusted only if the applicable conditions are satisfied for three consecutive Volatility Index Business Days, the exposure to the synthetic short position may not be adjusted during non-trending, or “choppy,” market conditions. For example, the exposure to the synthetic short position will not be adjusted if the level of the VIX Index is greater than or equal to the rolling, weighted average price of the first-month and second-month VIX futures contracts included in the synthetic short position for one or two Volatility Index Business Days, after which the level of the VIX Index is less than the rolling, weighted average price of the first-month and second-month VIX futures contracts included in the synthetic short position for one or two 

JPMorgan Structured Investments —	TS-9
Return Notes Linked to the S&P 500® Index and the J.P. Morgan Strategic Volatility Index

Volatility Index Business Days. As a result, the synthetic short position may not be activated or deactivated or may be activated or deactivated over a long period when non-trending market conditions persist. As a result, the Volatility Index may incur negative roll yields for an activated (or partially activated) synthetic short position or may fail to capture positive roll yields from a deactivated (or partially deactivated) synthetic short position. See the immediately following risk factor for additional information.     

•  DUE TO THE TIME LAG INHERENT IN THE VOLATILITY INDEX, THE EXPOSURE TO THE SYNTHETIC SHORT POSITION MAY NOT BE ADJUSTED QUICKLY ENOUGH IN RESPONSE TO A CHANGE IN MARKET CONDITIONS FOR THE INVESTMENT STRATEGY ON WHICH THE VOLATILITY INDEX IS BASED TO BE SUCCESSFUL — Because large price movements in VIX futures contracts can occur suddenly and over a short period of time, the VIX futures contracts may rapidly move from backwardation to contango or from contango to backwardation; however, the exposure to the synthetic short position will remain unchanged until the applicable conditions described in the immediately preceding risk factor have been satisfied for three consecutive Volatility Index Business Days, after which the exposure to the synthetic short position will change in increments of 20% per Volatility Index Business Day. Accordingly, at a minimum, eight Volatility Index Business Days will elapse from the change in the futures market before the synthetic short position can be fully activated or deactivated, by which time market conditions may have changed. Due to this time lag, the exposure to the synthetic short position may not be adjusted quickly enough for the investment strategy on which the Volatility Index is based to be successful. 

The Volatility Index may not activate or deactivate the synthetic short position at all due to short-term changes in the VIX futures contracts. Price movements in the VIX futures contracts over a period of three Volatility Index Business Days could be significant. Accordingly, the Volatility Index may not benefit from an activation of the synthetic short position in short periods of contango and the Volatility Index may be adversely affected if the synthetic short position is not deactivated during a short period of backwardation. In addition, because it takes at least eight Volatility Index Business Days to activate or deactivate fully the synthetic short position, by the time the synthetic short position is activated or deactivated fully, the prices of the VIX futures contracts may be moving in the opposite direction, which may adversely affect the level of the Volatility Index.              

•  THE VOLATILITY INDEX IS AN EXCESS RETURN INDEX AND NOT A TOTAL RETURN INDEX — The Volatility Index is an excess return index and not a total return index. An excess return index, such as the Volatility Index, reflects the changes in the price of the relevant futures contracts (which is known as the “price return”) and any profit or loss realized when rolling the relevant futures contracts (which is known as the “roll return”) available through an unleveraged investment in the futures contracts composing such index. By contrast, a “total return” index, in addition to reflecting those returns, also reflects interest that could be earned on funds committed to the trading of the underlying futures contracts. 

•  DAILY REBALANCING OF THE VOLATILITY INDEX MAY AFFECT TRADING IN THE RELEVANT VIX FUTURES CONTRACTS — The daily rebalancing of the VIX futures contracts underlying the Volatility Index may cause us, our affiliates or third parties with whom we transact to adjust our or their hedges accordingly. The trading activity associated with these hedging transactions will contribute to the trading volume of the VIX futures contracts included in the Volatility Index and may affect the market price of these VIX futures contracts and, in turn, adversely affect the level of the Volatility Index. 

•  AN INCREASE IN THE MARGIN REQUIREMENTS FOR VIX FUTURES CONTRACTS INCLUDED IN THE VOLATILITY INDEX MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT THE VALUE OF THE NOTES — Futures exchanges require market participants to post collateral in order to open and to keep open positions in futures contracts. If an exchange increases the amount of collateral required to be posted to hold positions in VIX futures contracts underlying the Volatility Index, market participants who are unwilling or unable to post additional collateral may liquidate their positions, which may cause the price of the relevant VIX futures contracts to decline significantly. As a result, the level of the Volatility Index and the value of the notes may be adversely affected. 

•  VIX FUTURES CONTRACTS HAVE LIMITED HISTORICAL INFORMATION — VIX futures contracts have traded freely only since March 26, 2004, and not all futures contracts of all relevant maturities have traded at all times since that date. Because the VIX futures contracts that underlie the Volatility Index are of recent origin and limited historical performance data exists with respect to them, your investment in the notes may involve a greater risk than investing in alternate securities linked to one or more financial measures with an established record of performance. The liquidity of trading in VIX futures contracts could decline in the future, which could affect adversely the value of the notes. 

•  THE NOTES ARE NOT LINKED TO THE VIX INDEX, AND THE VALUE OF THE NOTES MAY BE LESS THAN IT WOULD HAVE BEEN HAD THE NOTES BEEN LINKED TO THE VIX INDEX — The value of the notes will be linked, in part, to the value of the Volatility Index, and your ability to benefit from any rise or fall in the level of the VIX Index is limited. The Volatility Index is based upon holding a rolling synthetic long position and a contingent rolling synthetic short position in VIX futures contracts. The VIX futures contracts will not necessarily track the performance of the VIX Index or a long-short position in the VIX Index. The Volatility Index may not benefit from increases or decreases in the level of the VIX Index because such increases or decreases will not necessarily cause the price of the relevant VIX futures contracts to rise or fall. Accordingly, a hypothetical investment that was linked directly to the performance of the VIX Index (long or short) could generate a higher return than the notes.

•  THE NOTES ARE NOT LINKED TO THE OPTIONS USED TO CALCULATE THE VIX INDEX, TO THE ACTUAL VOLATILITY OF THE S&P 500^® INDEX OR TO THE EQUITY SECURITIES INCLUDED IN THE S&P 500^® INDEX — The VIX Index measures the 30-day forward volatility of the S&P 500^® Index as calculated based on the prices of certain put and call options on the S&P 500^® Index. The actual volatility of the S&P 500^® Index may differ, perhaps significantly, from the level predicted by the VIX Index or from the prices of the put and call options included in the calculation of the VIX Index. The value of the notes is based in part on the value of the relevant VIX futures contracts included in the Volatility Index. The notes are not linked to the realized or implied volatility over a specific period of time and will not reflect the return you would realize if you owned, or held a short position in, the equity securities underlying the S&P 500^® Index or traded put and call options used to calculate the level of the VIX Index or other instruments intended to provided a return equal to that of the VIX Index.

What Is the Average Index Return, Payment at Maturity and Total Return on the Notes, Assuming a Range of Performances of the Indices?

The following table and examples illustrate hypothetical Average Index Returns, payments at maturity and hypothetical total returns at maturity for each $1,000 principal amount note. 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. For each hypothetical Equity Return value shown in the table below, a hypothetical payment at maturity and a hypothetical total return at maturity is calculated for five different hypothetical Volatility Return values (50%, 10%, 0%, -10% and -50%). The actual Equity Return and Volatility Return may differ from the hypothetical values shown below. The hypothetical payments at maturity and hypothetical total returns set forth below are for illustrative purposes only and may not be the actual payments at maturity and total returns at maturity applicable to a purchaser of the notes.

(1) For purposes of determining whether an Acceleration Trigger Event has occurred, the Ending Index Levels and Index Returns shown above are as of any Valuation Date. For purposes of determining the payment at maturity and the total return, the Ending Index Levels and Index Returns shown above are as of the Observation Date.

(2) An Acceleration Trigger Event will occur if the Average Index Return is less than the Acceleration Trigger Level of
-23% on any Valuation Date. If an Acceleration Trigger Event occurs, the payment at maturity will reflect the Index Returns on the Observation Date, as accelerated. The Average Index Return is used only for purposes of determining whether an Acceleration Trigger Event has occurred. The payment at maturity is calculated using the sum of the Index Returns.

(3) Because the Average Index Return is less than the Acceleration Trigger Level of -23% on at least one Valuation Date, an Acceleration Trigger Event has occurred and the notes are accelerated. These examples assume that the Ending Index Levels and Index Returns of both Indices on the date the Acceleration Trigger Event occurs is the same as those on the Accelerated Observation Date.

(4) The payment at maturity may not be less than $0.

Because of the many possible combinations of the Equity Return and the Volatility Return, it is not possible to present a chart or table illustrating the complete range of possible payments at maturity or total returns that could apply to your notes.

Hypothetical Examples of Payment at Maturity

The following examples illustrate how the payments at maturity, including accelerated maturity due to the occurrence of an Acceleration Trigger Event, set forth in the table above are calculated.

Example 1: The Equity Return is 30.00% and the Volatility Return is 10.00%. Because the Equity Return and the Volatility Return are both positive, the investor receives a payment at maturity of $1,400 per $1,000 principal amount note, calculated as follows:

$1,000 + [$1,000 × (30% + 10%)] = $1,400

Example 2: The Equity Return is 10.00% and the Volatility Return is 0.00%. Although the Volatility Return is 0.00%, because the Equity Return is positive, the investor receives a payment at maturity of $1,100 per $1,000 principal amount note, calculated as follows:

$1,000 + [$1,000 × (10% + 0%)] = $1,100

Example 3: The Equity Return is 5.00% and the Volatility Return is -10.00%. Although the Equity Return is positive, it is more than offset by the negative Volatility Return and the investor receives a payment at maturity of only $950 per $1,000 principal amount note, calculated as follows:

$1,000 + [$1,000 × (5% + -10%)] = $950

Example 4: The Equity Return is 0.00% and the Volatility Return is 10.00%. Although the Equity Return is 0.00%, because the Volatility Return is positive, the investor receives a payment at maturity of $1,100 per $1,000 principal amount note, calculated as follows:

$1,000 + [$1,000 × (0% + 10%)] = $1,100

Example 5: The Equity Return is 0.00% and the Volatility Return is 0.00%. Because the Equity Return and the Volatility Return are both 0.00%, the investor receives a payment at maturity of $1,000 per $1,000 principal amount note, calculated as follows:

$1,000 + [$1,000 × (0% + 0%)] = $1,000

Example 6: The Equity Return is 0.00% and the Volatility Return is -10.00%. Although the Equity Return is 0.00%, because the Volatility Return is negative, the investor receives a payment at maturity of only $900 per $1,000 principal amount note, calculated as follows:

$1,000 + [$1,000 × (0% + -10%)] = $900

Example 7: The Equity Return is -10.00% and the Volatility Return is 10.00%. Although the Equity Return is negative, it is offset by the Volatility Return, and the investor receives a payment at maturity of $1,000 per $1,000 principal amount note, calculated as follows:

$1,000 + [$1,000 × (10% + -10%)] = $1,000

Example 8: The Equity Return is -10.00% and the Volatility Return is 0.00%. Because the Equity Return is negative and the Volatility Return is 0.00%, the investor receives a payment at maturity of only $900 per $1,000 principal amount note, calculated as follows:

$1,000 + [$1,000 × (-10% + -0%)] = $900

Example 9: The Equity Return is -90.00% and the Volatility Return is -10.00%. Because the Equity Return and the Volatility Return, are both negative, the negative effect of the Volatility Return is additive to the negative effect of the Equity Return, and the investor receives no payment at maturity, calculated as follows:

$1,000 + [$1,000 × (-90% + -10%)] = $0

Example 10: The Equity Return is -90.00% and the Volatility Return is -50.00%. Because the payment at maturity may not be less than $0, the investor receives no payment at maturity.

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.
