Key Terms

Payment at Maturity: On the Maturity Date, we will pay you the outstanding principal amount of your notes plus any accrued and unpaid interest.
Interest:

Subject to the Accrual Period Convention, for each $1,000 principal amount note, we will pay you interest on each Interest Payment Date equal to:

$1,000 x Interest Rate x Day Count Fraction

 

Interest Rate: With respect to each Initial Interest Period, the Initial Interest Rate, and with respect to each Interest Period that is not an Initial Interest Period, a rate per annum equal to the CPI Rate multiplied by 1.20, as determined on each applicable Determination Date, provided that such rate will not be less than the Minimum Interest Rate.
Initial Interest Period(s): Each Interest Period beginning on and including the Issue Date of the notes and ending on but excluding July 31, 2015.
Initial Interest Rate: 1.00% per annum
Interest Periods: The period beginning on and including the Issue Date of the notes and ending on but excluding the first Interest Payment Date, and each successive period beginning on and including an Interest Payment Date and ending on but excluding the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, subject to the Accrual Period Convention described below and in the accompanying product supplement.
Interest Payment Dates: Interest on the notes will be payable in arrears on the last day of each month of each year, commencing on August 31, 2013, to and including the Maturity Date, subject to the Business Day Convention and Accrual Period Convention described below and in the accompanying product supplement.
   
Minimum Interest Rate: 0.00% per annum
CPI Rate:

For any Interest Period (other than the Initial Interest Periods), the CPI Rate will be calculated as follows:

Selected Purchase Considerations

·PRESERVATION OF CAPITAL AT MATURITY – Regardless of the year-over-year change in the CPI, 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. For each Initial Interest Period, the notes will accrue interest at a rate equal to the Initial Interest Rate, and for each Interest Period that is not an Initial Interest Period, the notes will pay interest at a rate per annum equal to the CPI Rate as determined on the applicable Determination Date multiplied by 1.20, provided that such rate will not be less than the Minimum 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.
·INFLATION PROTECTION– For each Interest Period that is not an Initial Interest Period, the Interest Rate on the notes will be a rate per annum equal to the CPI Rate as determined on the applicable Determination Date multiplied by 1.20, provided that such rate will not be less than the Minimum Interest Rate. In no event will the Interest Rate for any Interest Period that is not an Initial Interest Period be less than the Minimum Interest Rate.
·TREATED AS CONTINGENT PAYMENT DEBT INSTRUMENTS — You should review carefully the section entitled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” in the accompanying disclosure statement. Subject to the limitations described therein, in the opinion of our special tax counsel, Sidley Austin LLP, the notes will be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as “contingent payment debt instruments.” You will generally be required to accrue and recognize original issue discount (“OID”) as interest income in each year at the “comparable yield,” as determined by us, even though the actual interest payments made with respect to the notes during a taxable year may differ from the amount of OID that must be accrued during that taxable year. In addition, solely for purposes of determining the amount of OID that you will be required to accrue, we are also required to construct a “projected payment schedule” in respect of the notes representing a series of payments the amount and timing of which would produce a yield to maturity on the notes equal to the comparable yield. You will be required to make adjustments to the amount of OID you must recognize each taxable year to reflect the difference, if any, between the actual amount of interest payments made and the projected amount of the interest payments (as reflected in the projected payment schedule). Under the forgoing rules, you will not be required to separately include in income the interest payments you receive with respect to the notes. To obtain the comparable yield and the projected payment schedule in respect of the notes, contact a certified financial analyst at the Global Securities Group desk at (800) 576-3529. Generally, amounts received at maturity or earlier sale or disposition in excess of your tax basis, if any, will be treated as additional interest income while any loss will be treated as an ordinary loss to the extent of all previous interest inclusions with respect to the notes, which will be deductible against other income (e.g., employment and interest income), with the balance treated as capital loss, the deductibility of which may be subject to limitations. Purchasers who are not initial purchasers of notes at the issue price should consult their tax advisers with respect to the tax consequences of an investment in the notes, including the treatment of the difference, if any, between their basis in the notes and the notes’ adjusted issue price.

Subject to certain assumptions and representations received from us, the discussion in this section entitled “Taxed as Contingent Payment 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, EXCEPT FOR THE INITIAL INTEREST PERIODS, THE INTEREST RATE ON THE NOTES IS VARIABLE AND MAY BE EQUAL TO THE MINIMUM INTEREST RATE – For each Initial Interest Period, the notes will pay interest at a rate equal to the Initial Interest Rate, and for each Interest Period that is not an Initial Interest Period, the notes will pay interest at a rate per annum equal to the CPI Rate as determined on the applicable Determination Date multiplied by 1.20, provided that such rate will not be less than the Minimum Interest Rate. If the CPI Rate is less than or equal to zero on any Determination Date, the interest on your notes for the applicable Interest Period will be equal to zero.
·VARIABLE RATE NOTES DIFFER FROM FIXED RATE NOTES – For each Interest Period that is not an Initial Interest Period, the notes will pay interest at a rate per annum equal to the CPI Rate as determined on the applicable Determination Date multiplied by 1.20, provided that such rate will not be less than the Minimum Interest Rate. Interest for such Interest Periods may be less than interest otherwise payable on notes issued by us with similar maturities. When making you investment decision to purchase the notes, you should consider, among the various factors in your investment decision, whether you are comfortable with notes that pay a variable rate of interest.
·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 a note with a shorter tenor. Therefore, assuming that interest 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 as an agent of the offering of the notes, hedging our obligations under the notes and making the assumptions used to determine the pricing of the notes and the estimated value of the notes when the terms of the notes are set, which we refer to as JPMS’s estimated value. 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 as well as modeling and structuring the economic terms of the notes, could cause our economic interests to be adverse to yours and could adversely affect any payment on the notes and the value of the notes. It is possible that hedging or trading activities of ours or our affiliates in connection with the notes could result in substantial returns for us or our affiliates while the value of the notes declines. Please refer to “Risk Factors” in the accompanying product supplement no. 1-II for additional information about these risks.
·JPMS’S ESTIMATED VALUE OF THE NOTES WILL BE LOWER THAN THE ORIGINAL ISSUE PRICE (PRICE TO PUBLIC) OF THE NOTES — JPMS’s estimated value is only an estimate using several factors. The original issue price of the notes will exceed JPMS’s estimated value because costs associated with selling, structuring and hedging the notes are included in the original issue price of the notes. These costs include the selling commissions, the projected profits, if any, that our affiliates expect to realize for assuming risks inherent in hedging our obligations under the notes and the estimated cost of hedging our obligations under the notes. See “JPMS’s Estimated Value of the Notes” in this term sheet.
·JPMS’S ESTIMATED VALUE DOES NOT REPRESENT FUTURE VALUES OF THE NOTES AND MAY DIFFER FROM OTHERS’ ESTIMATESJPMS’s estimated value of the notes is determined by reference to JPMS’s internal pricing models when the terms of the notes are set. This estimated value is based on market conditions and other relevant factors existing at that time and JPMS’s assumptions about market parameters, which can include volatility, interest rates and other factors. Different pricing models and assumptions could provide valuations for notes that are greater than or less than JPMS’s estimated value. In addition, market conditions and other relevant factors in the future may change, and any assumptions may prove to be incorrect. On future dates, the value of the notes could change significantly based on, among other things, changes in market conditions, our creditworthiness, interest rate movements and other relevant factors, which may impact the price, if any, at which JPMS would be willing to buy notes from you in secondary market transactions. See “JPMS’s Estimated Value of the Notes” in this term sheet.
·JPMS’S ESTIMATED VALUE IS NOT DETERMINED BY REFERENCE TO CREDIT SPREADS FOR OUR CONVENTIONAL FIXED-RATE DEBTJPMS’s internal funding rate used in the determination of JPMS’s estimated value generally represents a discount from the credit spreads for our conventional fixed-rate debt. The discount is based on, among other things, our view of the funding value of the notes as well as the higher issuance, operational and ongoing liability management costs of the notes in comparison to those costs for our conventional fixed-rate debt. If JPMS were to use the interest rate implied by our conventional fixed-rate credit spreads, we would expect the economic terms of the notes to be more favorable to you. Consequently, our use of an internal funding rate would have an adverse effect on the terms of the notes and any secondary market prices of the notes. See “JPMS’s Estimated Value of the Notes” in this term sheet.
·THE VALUE OF THE NOTES AS PUBLISHED BY JPMS (AND WHICH MAY BE REFLECTED ON CUSTOMER ACCOUNT STATEMENTS) MAY BE HIGHER THAN JPMS’S THEN-CURRENT ESTIMATED VALUE OF THE NOTES FOR A LIMITED TIME PERIOD — We generally expect that some of the costs included in the original issue price of the notes will be partially paid back to you in connection with any repurchases of your notes by JPMS in an amount that will decline to zero over an initial predetermined period. These costs can include projected hedging profits, if any, and, in some circumstances, estimated hedging costs and our secondary market credit spreads for structured debt issuances. See “Secondary Market Prices of the Notes” in this term sheet for additional information relating to this initial period. Accordingly, the estimated value of your notes during this initial period may be lower than the value of the notes as published by JPMS (and which may be shown on your customer account statements).

·SECONDARY MARKET PRICES OF THE NOTES WILL LIKELY BE LOWER THAN THE ORIGINAL ISSUE PRICE OF THE NOTESAny secondary market prices of the notes will likely be lower than the original issue price of the notes because, among other things, secondary market prices take into account our secondary market credit spreads for structured debt issuances and, also, because secondary market prices (a) exclude selling commissions and (b) may exclude projected hedging profits, if any, and estimated hedging costs that are included in the original issue price of the notes. As a result, the price, if any, at which JPMS will be willing to buy notes from you in secondary market transactions, if at all, is likely to be lower than the original issue price. Any sale by you prior to the maturity date could result in a substantial loss to you. See “Secondary Market Prices Of The Notes Will Be Impacted By Many Economic And Market Factors” below for information about additional factors that will impact any secondary market prices of the notes. The notes are not designed to be short-term trading instruments. Accordingly, you should be able and willing to hold your notes to maturity. See “Lack of Liquidity” below.
·SECONDARY MARKET PRICES OF THE NOTES WILL BE IMPACTED BY MANY ECONOMIC AND MARKET FACTORS — The secondary market price of the notes during their term will be impacted by a number of economic and market factors, which may either offset or magnify each other, aside from the selling commissions, projected hedging profits, if any, estimated hedging costs, including, but not limited to:
·any actual or potential change in our creditworthiness or credit spreads;
·customary bid-ask spreads for similarly sized trades;
·secondary market credit spreads for structured debt issuances;
·the time to maturity of the notes;
·interest and yield rates in the market generally, as well as the volatility of those rates; and
·a variety of other economic, financial, political, regulatory and judicial events.

Additionally, independent pricing vendors and/or third party broker-dealers may publish a price for the notes, which may also be reflected on customer account statements. This price may be different (higher or lower) than the price of the notes, if any, at which JPMS may be willing to purchase your notes in the secondary market.

·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 level of the CPI 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 the CPI;
·the time to maturity of the notes;
·interest and yield rates in the market generally, as well as the volatility of those rates;
·fluctuations in the prices of various consumer goods and energy resources;
·inflation and expectations concerning inflation;
·a variety of economic, financial, political, regulatory or judicial events; and
·our creditworthiness, including actual or anticipated downgrades in our credit ratings.
·the CPI and the way THE Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S. Labor Department (the “BLS”) calculates the CPI may change in the future — There can be no assurance that the BLS will not change the method by which it calculates the CPI. In addition, changes in the way the CPI is calculated could reduce the level of the CPI and lower the interest paid with respect to the notes. Accordingly, the amount of interest payable on the notes, and therefore the value of the notes, may be significantly reduced. If the CPI is discontinued or substantially altered, a successor index may be employed to calculate the interest payable on the notes, as described herein, and that substitution may adversely affect the value of the notes.
·The TERMS AND VALUATION OF THE NOTES WILL BE PROVIDED IN THE PRICING SUPPLEMENT — The final terms of the notes will be based on relevant market conditions when the terms of the notes are set and will be provided in the pricing supplement. In particular, JPMS’s estimated value will be provided in the pricing supplement, and the estimated value of the notes may be equal to the low end of the applicable range set forth on the cover of this term sheet. Accordingly, you should consider your potential investment in the notes based on the low end of the range for JPMS’s estimated value.
·TAX DISCLOSURE The information under “Treated as Contingent Payment Debt Instruments "in this term sheet remains subject to confirmation by our tax counsel. We will notify you of any revisions to the information under “Treated as Contingent Payment Debt Instruments " in a supplement to this term sheet on or before the business day immediately preceding the issue date, or if the information cannot be confirmed by our tax counsel, we may terminate this offering of Notes.

Hypothetical Interest Rates Based on Historical CPI Levels

Provided below are historical levels of the CPI from January 2006 to June 2013. Also provided below are the hypothetical Interest Rates for hypothetical interest payments in the calendar months from April 2007 to September 2013 that would have resulted from the historical levels of the CPI presented below, multiplied by 1.20 and subject to the Minimum Interest Rate of 0.00% per annum. We obtained the historical information included below from Bloomberg Financial Markets and we make no representation or warranty as to the accuracy of completeness of the information so obtained from Bloomberg Financial Markets.

The historical levels of the CPI should not be taken as an indication of future levels of the CPI, and no assurance can be given as to the level of the CPI for any reference month. The hypothetical Interest Rates that follow are intended to illustrate the effect of general trends in the CPI on the amount of interest payable to you on the notes and assume that the change in the CPI will be measured on a year-over-year basis. However, the CPI may not increase or decrease over the term of the notes in accordance with any of the trends depicted by the historical information in the table below, and the size and frequency of any fluctuations in the CPI level over the term of the notes, which we refer to as the volatility of the CPI, may be significantly different than the historical volatility of the CPI indicated in the table. Additionally, for ease of presentation, the hypothetical Interest Rates set forth below have only been calculated to the third decimal point and rounded to the nearest second decimal point, which is different from the rounding convention applicable to the notes. As a result, the hypothetical Interest Rates depicted in the table below should not be taken as an indication of the actual Interest Rates that will be paid with regard to the Interest Periods over the term of the notes.

Hypothetical Examples of Calculation of the Interest Rate on the Notes for an Interest Period

Example 1: For the Initial Interest Period from and including July 31, 2013 to but excluding August 31, 2013, the Initial Interest Rate is fixed and is equal to 1.00% per annum. The interest payment per $1,000 principal amount note for the anticipated Interest Period from and including July 31, 2013 to but excluding August 31, 2013 will be $0.83. This monthly interest payment is calculated as follows:

$1,000 × 1.00% × (30/360) = $0.83

The example above is simplified and the calculation is rounded for ease of analysis.

Example 2: Assuming the Initial Interest Rate for the Initial Interest Periods did not apply, and July 29, 2013 was a Determination Date, the hypothetical Interest Rate would be 1.63% per annum, resulting in a hypothetical $1.36 interest payment per $1,000 principal amount note for the hypothetical Interest Period from and including July 31, 2013 to but excluding August 31, 2013. This monthly interest payment is calculated as follows:

$1,000 × 1.63% × (30/360) = $1.36

The Interest Rate of 1.63% per annum is calculated by multiplying the relevant CPI Rate by 1.20. The CPI Rate is calculated based on the percent change in the CPI for the one year period from May 2012 (229.815) to May 2013 (232.945) as follows:

CPI Rate = 232.945 - 229.815 = 1.36% per annum
229.815

Multiplying the CPI Rate of 1.36% by 1.20 results in a hypothetical Interest Rate applicable to the August 31, 2013 interest payment date of 1.63% per annum. The example above is simplified and the calculation is rounded for ease of analysis.

Hypothetical Historical Information

The following graph sets forth the monthly hypothetical historical performance of the CPI Rate and the CPI Rate multiplied by 1.20 from January 2004 through June 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.

The CPI Rate for the month of June 2013 was 1.47% based on Bloomberg page “CPURNSA”. The CPI Rate multiplied by 1.20 for the month of June 2013 was 1.77%.

The information for following graph was obtained from Bloomberg Financial Markets. The hypothetical historical CPI Rate multiplied by 1.20 should not be taken as an indication of future results, and no assurance can be given as to the CPI Rate on any Determination Date. We cannot give you assurance that the performance of the CPI Rate multiplied by 1.20 will result in any positive interest payments for the Interest Periods (other than an Initial Interest Period).

JPMS’s Estimated Value of the Notes

JPMS’s estimated value of the notes set forth on the cover of this term sheet is equal to the sum of the values of the following hypothetical components: (1) a fixed-income debt component with the same maturity as the notes, valued using our internal funding rate for structured debt described below, and (2) the derivative or derivatives underlying the economic terms of the notes. JPMS’s estimated value does not represent a minimum price at which JPMS would be willing to buy your notes in any secondary market (if any exists) at any time. The internal funding rate used in the determination of JPMS’s estimated value generally represents a discount from the credit spreads for our conventional fixed-rate debt. For additional information, see “Selected Risk Considerations — JPMS’s Estimated Value Is Not Determined by Reference to Credit Spreads for Our Conventional Fixed-Rate Debt.” The value of the derivative or derivatives underlying the economic terms of the notes is derived from JPMS’s internal pricing models. These models are dependent on inputs such as the traded market prices of comparable derivative instruments and on various other inputs, some of which are market-observable, and which can include volatility, interest rates and other factors, as well as assumptions about future market events and/or environments. Accordingly, JPMS’s estimated value of the notes is determined when the terms of the notes are set based on market conditions and other relevant factors and assumptions existing at that time. See “Selected Risk Considerations — JPMS’s Estimated Value Does Not Represent Future Values of the Notes and May Differ from Others’ Estimates” in this term sheet.

JPMS’s estimated value of the notes will be lower than the original issue price of the notes because costs associated with selling, structuring and hedging the notes are included in the original issue price of the notes. These costs include the selling commissions paid to JPMS and other affiliated or unaffiliated dealers, the projected profits, if any, that our affiliates expect to realize for assuming risks inherent in hedging our obligations under the notes and the estimated cost of hedging our obligations under the notes. Because hedging our obligations entails risk and may be influenced by market forces beyond our control, this hedging may result in a profit that is more or less than expected, or it may result in a loss. A portion of the profits realized in hedging our obligations under the notes may be allowed to other affiliated or unaffiliated dealers, and we or one or more of our affiliates will retain any remaining hedging profits.” See “Selected Risk Considerations — JPMS’s Estimated Value of the Notes Will Be Lower Than the Original Issue Price (Price to Public) of the Notes” in this term sheet.

For information about factors that will impact any secondary market prices of the notes, see “Selected Risk Considerations — Secondary Market Prices of the Notes Will Be Impacted by Many Economic and Market Factors” in this term sheet. In addition, we generally expect that some of the costs included in the original issue price of the notes will be partially paid back to you in connection with any repurchases of your notes by JPMS in an amount that will decline to zero over an initial predetermined period that is intended to be the shorter of six months and one-half of the stated term of the notes. The length of any such initial period reflects the structure of the notes, whether our affiliates expect to earn a profit in connection with our hedging activities, the estimated costs of hedging the notes and when these costs are incurred, as determined by JPMS. See “Selected Risk Considerations — The Value of the Notes as Published by JPMS (and Which May Be Reflected on Customer Account Statements) May Be Higher Than JPMS’s Then-Current Estimated Value of the Notes for a Limited Time Period” in this term sheet.

Supplemental Use of Proceeds

The net proceeds we receive from the sale of the notes will be used for general corporate purposes and, in part, by us or one or more of our affiliates in connection with hedging our obligations under the notes.

The notes are offered to meet investor demand for products that reflect the risk-return profile and market exposure provided by the notes. See “Selected Purchase Considerations” and “Hypothetical Examples of Calculation of the Interest Rate on the Notes for an Interest Period” in this term sheet for a description of the risk-return profile and market exposure payable under the notes.

The original issue price of the notes is equal to JPMS’s estimated value of the notes plus the selling commissions paid to JPMS and other affiliated or unaffiliated dealers, plus (minus) the projected profits (losses) that our

affiliates expect to realize for assuming risks inherent in hedging our obligations under the notes, plus the estimated cost of hedging our obligations under the notes.
