Selected Purchase Considerations
| · | PRESERVATION OF CAPITAL AT MATURITY – Regardless of the performance of 3-Month USD LIBOR, we will pay you at least 100% of the principal amount of your notes if you hold the notes to maturity. Because the notes are our unsecured and unsubordinated obligations, payment of any amount at maturity is subject to our ability to pay our obligations as they become due. |
| · | PERIODIC INTEREST PAYMENTS – The notes offer periodic interest payments on each Interest Payment Date. With respect to the Interest Periods, your notes will pay a rate per annum equal to 3-Month USD LIBOR plus 1.05%, provided that such rate will not be less than the Minimum Interest Rate or greater than the Maximum Interest Rate. The yield on the notes may be less than the overall return you would receive from a conventional debt security that you could purchase today with the same maturity as the notes. |
| · | TREATED AS VARIABLE RATE DEBT INSTRUMENTS – You should review carefully the section entitled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” in the accompanying product supplement no. 1-II. You and we agree to treat the notes as “variable rate debt instruments” for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Assuming this characterization is respected, interest paid on the notes will generally be taxable to you as ordinary interest income at the time it accrues or is received in accordance with your method of accounting for U.S. federal income tax purposes. In general, gain or loss realized on the sale, exchange or other disposition of the notes will be capital gain or loss. Prospective purchasers are urged to consult their own tax advisers regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the notes. Purchasers who are not initial purchasers of notes at their issue price on the issue date should consult their tax advisers with respect to the tax consequences of an investment in the notes, and the potential application of special rules. |
Subject to certain assumptions and representations received from us, the discussion in this section entitled “Treated As Variable Rate Debt Instruments”, when read in combination with the section entitled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” in the accompanying product supplement, constitutes the full opinion of Sidley Austin LLP regarding the material U.S. federal income tax treatment of owning and disposing of the notes.
Selected Risk Considerations
| · | THE NOTES ARE NOT ORDINARY DEBT SECURITIES BECAUSE THE INTEREST RATE ON THE NOTES IS VARIABLE AND MAY BE EQUAL TO THE MINIMUM INTEREST RATE – With respect to the Interest Periods, your notes will pay a rate per annum equal to 3-Month USD LIBOR plus 1.05%, provided that such rate will not be less than the Minimum Interest Rate or greater than the Maximum Interest Rate. |
| · | THE INTEREST RATE ON THE NOTES IS BASED ON 3-month usd LIBOR OVER WHICH WE HAVE NO SUBSTANTIVE CONTROL – The amount of interest, if any, payable on the notes will depend on a number of factors that could affect the levels of 3-Month USD LIBOR, and in turn, could affect the value of the notes. These factors include (but are not limited to) the expected volatility of 3-Month USD LIBOR, supply and demand among banks in London for U.S. dollar-denominated deposits with approximately a three month term, interest and yield rates in the market generally, the performance of capital markets, monetary policies, fiscal policies, regulatory or judicial events, inflation, general economic conditions, and public expectations with respect to such factors. These and other factors may have a negative impact on the Interest Rate and on the value of the notes in the secondary market. The effect that any single factor may have on 3-Month |
| JPMorgan Structured Investments — |
PS-1 |
| Floating Rate Notes Linked to 3-Month USD LIBOR | |
USD LIBOR may be partially offset by other factors. We cannot predict the factors that may cause 3-Month USD LIBOR, and consequently the Interest Rate for an Interest Period, to increase or decrease. A decrease in 3-Month USD LIBOR will result in a reduction of the applicable Interest Rate used to calculate the Interest for any Interest Period.
| · | THE INTEREST RATE ON THE NOTES IS SUBJECT TO THE MAXIMUM INTEREST RATE – The Interest Rate for an Interest Period is variable; however, it will not exceed the Maximum Interest Rate set forth on the front cover of this Amended and Restated Pricing Supplement, regardless of the performance of 3-Month USD LIBOR. In other words, for an Interest Period, if 3-Month USD LIBOR plus 1.05% is greater than or equal to the Maximum Interest Rate, your Interest Rate on the notes will be capped at the Maximum Interest Rate. |
| · | VARIABLE RATE NOTES DIFFER FROM FIXED RATE NOTES – The rate of interest on your notes will be variable and determined based on 3-Month USD LIBOR plus 1.05%, provided that such rate will not be greater than the Maximum Interest Rate or less than the Minimum Interest Rate, which may be less than returns otherwise payable on notes issued by us with similar maturities. You should consider, among other things, the overall potential annual percentage rate of interest to maturity of the notes as compared to other investment alternatives. |
| · | LONGER DATED NOTES MAY BE MORE RISKY THAN SHORTER DATED NOTES – By purchasing a note with a longer tenor, you are more exposed to fluctuations in interest rates than if you purchased a note with a shorter tenor. Specifically, you may be negatively affected if certain interest rate scenarios occur. The applicable discount rate, which is the prevailing rate in the market for notes of the same tenor, will likely be higher for notes with longer tenors than if you had purchased a note with a shorter tenor. Therefore, assuming that short term rates rise, the market value of a longer dated note will be lower than the market value of a comparable short term note with similar terms. |
| · | 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 adversely affect 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 calculation agent and hedging our obligations under the notes. In performing these duties, our economic interests and the economic interests of the calculation agent and other affiliates of ours are potentially adverse to your interests as an investor in the notes. In addition, our business activities, including hedging and trading activities for our own accounts or on behalf of customers, could cause our economic interests to be adverse to yours and could adversely affect any payments on the notes and the value of the notes. It is possible that hedging or trading activities of ours or our affiliates could result in substantial returns for us or our affiliates while the value of the notes declines. Please refer to “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to the Notes Generally” in the accompanying product supplement for additional information about these risks. |
| · | 3-month usd LIBOR will be affected by a number of factors — The amount of interest payable on the notes will depend on 3-Month USD LIBOR. A number of factors can affect 3-Month USD LIBOR by causing changes in the value of 3-Month USD LIBOR including, but not limited to: |
| · | changes in, or perceptions, about future 3-Month USD LIBOR levels; |
| · | general economic conditions in the United States; |
| · | prevailing interest rates; and |
| · | policies of the Federal Reserve Board regarding interest rates. |
These and other factors may have a negative impact on the payment of interest on the notes and on the value of the notes in the secondary market.
| · | 3-month usd LIBOR may be volatile —3-Month USD LIBOR is subject to volatility due to a variety of factors affecting interest rates generally, including but not limited to: |
| · | supply and demand among banks in London for U.S. dollar-denominated deposits with approximately a three month term; |
| · | sentiment regarding underlying strength in the U.S. and global economies; |
| · | expectations regarding the level of price inflation; |
| · | sentiment regarding credit quality in the U.S. and global credit markets; |
| · | central bank policy regarding interest rates; |
| · | inflation and expectations concerning inflation; and |
| · | performance of capital markets. |
Increases or decreases in 3-Month USD LIBOR could result in the corresponding Interest Rate decreasing to the Minimum Interest Rate of 0.00% per annum and thus in the reduction of interest payable on the notes.
| · | Certain BUILT-IN costs are likely to adversely affect the value of the notes prior to maturity — While the payment at maturity described in this Amended and Restated Pricing Supplement is based on the full principal amount of your notes, the original issue price of the notes includes the agent’s commission or reflects the deduction of a discount allowed to each agent and includes 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 full principal amount and may be lower than the price at which you initially purchased the notes and any sale prior to the maturity date could result in a substantial loss to you. This secondary market price will also be |
| JPMorgan Structured Investments — |
PS-2 |
| Floating Rate Notes Linked to 3-Month USD LIBOR | |
affected by a number of factors aside from the agent’s commission or discount 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.
| · | 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 3-Month USD LIBOR on any day, the value of the notes will be affected by a number of economic and market factors that may either offset or magnify each other, including: |
| · | the expected volatility of 3-Month USD LIBOR; |
| · | the time to maturity of the notes; |
| · | interest and yield rates in the market generally, as well as the volatility of those rates; |
| · | a variety of economic, financial, political, regulatory or judicial events; and |
| · | our creditworthiness, including actual or anticipated downgrades in our credit ratings. |

Hypothetical
Examples of Interest Rate Calculation
The following examples illustrate how the hypothetical Interest Rates set forth in the table above are calculated for a particular Interest Period, assuming the actual number of calendar days in the applicable Interest Period is 90.
Example 1: With respect to a particular Interest Period, 3-Month USD LIBOR is 2.00% on the applicable Interest Reset Date. The Interest Rate applicable to such Interest Period is 3.05% per annum calculated as follows:
2.00% + 1.05%= 3.05%
The corresponding interest payment per $1,000 principal amount note is calculated as follows:
$1,000 × 3.05% × (90/360) = $7.63
Example 2: With respect to a particular Interest Period, 3-Month USD LIBOR is 7.00% on the applicable Interest Reset Date. Because 3-Month USD LIBOR of 7.00% plus 1.05% exceeds the Maximum Interest Rate of 7.50% per annum, the Interest Rate is the Maximum Interest Rate of 7.50% per annum and the interest payment per $1,000 principal amount note is calculated as follows:
$1,000 × 7.50% × (90/360) = $18.75
Example 3: With respect to a particular Interest Period, 3-Month USD LIBOR is -2.00% on the applicable Interest Reset Date. Because 3-Month USD LIBOR of -2.00% plus 1.05% is less than the Minimum Interest Rate of 0.00% per annum, the Interest Rate is the Minimum Interest Rate of 0.00% per annum and the interest payment per $1,000 principal amount note is calculated as follows:
$1,000 × 0.00% × (90/360) = $0.00

Historical Information
The following graph sets forth the weekly historical performance of 3-Month USD LIBOR from January 4, 2008 through May 3, 2013. We obtained the rates used to construct the graph below from Bloomberg Financial Markets. We make no representation or warranty as to the accuracy or completeness of the information obtained from Bloomberg Financial Markets.
3-Month USD LIBOR, as appeared on Reuters page “LIBOR01” at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time on May 3, 2013 was 0.27510%.
The historical rates should not be taken as an indication of future performance, and no assurance can be given as to 3-Month USD LIBOR on any Interest Reset Date. We cannot give you assurance that the performance of 3-Month USD LIBOR will result in an Interest Rate for any Interest Period that is greater than the Minimum Interest Rate.
