Notes

Hypothetical, historical performance measures: Represent the performance of the
ETF Efficiente Index based on, as applicable to the relevant measurement period,
the hypothetical backtested daily closing levels through October 28, 2010, and
the actual historical performance of the ETF based on the daily closing level
from October 29, 2010 through November 30, 2011, as well as the performance of
the SandP 500 Index ("SandP 500"), and the Barclays Aggregate Bond Index (Excess
Return) over the same periods. For purposes of these examples, each index was
set equal to 100 at the beginning of the relevant measurement period and returns
are calculated arithmetically (not compounded). There is no guarantee the ETF
Efficiente Index will outperform the SandP 500 Index, the Barclays Aggregate Bond
Index (Excess Return) or any alternative investment strategy. Sources: Bloomberg
and JPMorgan.

Volatility  is  calculated  from the  historical  returns,  as applicable to the
relevant  measurement  period,  of the SANDP 500 Index and the Barclays  Aggregate
Bond Index

(Excess Return). Volatility represents the annualized standard deviation of the
relevant index's arithmetic daily returns since November 30, 2001. The Sharpe
Ratio, which is a measure of risk-adjusted performance, is computed as the ten
year annualized historical return divided by the ten year annualized volatility.

The back-tested, hypothetical, historical annualized volatility and index
leverage have inherent limitations. These volatility and leverage results were
achieved by means of a retroactive application of a back-tested volatility model
designed with the benefit of hindsight. No representation is made that in the
future the relevant indices will have the volatility shown. Alternative modeling
techniques or assumptions might produce significantly different results and may
prove to be more appropriate. Actual annualized volatilities and leverage may
vary materially from this analysis. Source: Bloomberg and JPMorgan.

Key Risks

[]   There are risks associated with a momentum-based  investment  strategy--The
     ETF  Efficiente  Index (the "St rategy") is different  from a strategy that
     seeks long-term exposure to a portfolio  consisting of constant  components
     with fixed weights. The Strategy may fail to realize gains that could occur
     from holding assets that have experienced price declines,  but experience a
     sudden price spike thereafter.
[]   Correlation of performances among the basket constituents may reduce the
     performance of strategy--perfo rmances among the basket constituents
     comprising the index from time to time (the "Basket Constituents") may
     become highly correlated from time to time during the term of your
     investment. High correlation during periods of negative returns among
     Basket Constituents representing any one sector or asset type that have a
     substantial weighting in the Strategy could have a material adverse effect
     on the performance of the Strategy.
[]   Our affiliate,  JPMSL, is the Calculation Agent and may adjust the Index in
     a way that affects its level--The policies and judgments for which JPMSL is
     res ponsible  could have an impact,  positive or negative,  on the level of
     the Index and the value of your investment. JPMSL is under no obligation to
     consider your interest as an investor in securities linked to the Index.
[]   The  Index  may not be  successful,  may  not  outperform  any  alternative
     strategy related to the Basket Constituents,  or may not achieve its target
     volatility of 5%.
[]   The investment  strategy involves monthly rebalancing and maximum weighting
     caps  applied to the  Basket  Constituents  by asset type and  geographical
     region.
[]   Changes in the value of the Basket Constituents may offset each other.
[]   An investment linked to the Index is subject to risks associated with
     non-U.S. securities markets, such as emerging markets and currency exchange
     risk.
[]   The Index was established on October 29, 2010 and has a limited operating
     history

The risks identified above are not exhaustive.  You should also review carefully

"Selected Risk Considerations" in the relevant term sheet or pricing supplement.
