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 ETFs based on the daily
closing level from October 29, 2010 through October 31, 2012, 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 October 31,
2002. 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
returns have inherent limitations. These volatility and return 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 returns 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 "Strategy") 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--performances 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
responsible 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 with returns 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 quarterly 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
the related "Risk Factors" section in the relevant product supplement and the
"Selected Risk Considerations" in the relevant term sheet or pricing
supplement.
