STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS
OPERATING COMMITTEE

Award Agreement	These terms and conditions are made part of the Award Agreement dated as of February 3, 2010 (“Grant Date”) awarding Stock Appreciation Rights pursuant to the terms of the JPMorgan Chase & Co. Long-Term Incentive Plan (“Plan”). To the extent the terms of the Award Agreement (all references to which will include these terms and conditions) conflict with the Plan, the Plan will govern. The Award Agreement, the Plan and Prospectus supersede any other agreement, whether written or oral, that may have been entered into by the Firm and you relating to this award.
	This award was granted on the Grant Date subject to the Award Agreement. Unless you decline by the deadline and in the manner specified in the Award Agreement, you will have agreed to be bound by these terms and conditions, effective as of the Grant Date. If you decline the award, it will be cancelled as of the Grant Date. Capitalized terms that are not defined in the Award Agreement will have the same meaning as set forth in the Plan.
	JPMorgan Chase & Co. will be referred to throughout the Award Agreement as “JPMorgan Chase,” and together with its subsidiaries as the “Firm.”
Form and Purpose of Award	Stock Appreciation Rights represent the right, following exercise, to receive (without payment), a number of shares of JPMorgan Chase Common Stock, the Fair Market Value of which, as of the date of exercise, is equal to the excess of the Fair Market Value of one share of such Common Stock on such exercise date over the Exercise Price, multiplied by the number of Stock Appreciation Rights being exercised. The Firm will retain from each distribution the number of shares of Common Stock required to satisfy tax and other withholding obligations.
	The purpose of this award is, in part, to motivate your future performance and to align your interests with those of the Firm and its shareholders.
Exercisable Dates/ Expiration Date	This award is intended and expected to become exercisable on the “Exercisable Dates” set forth in your Award Agreement, provided that you are continuously employed by the Firm from the date of grant through the relevant Exercisable Date or you meet the requirements to allow your award to remain outstanding upon termination of employment as described below However, the number of Stock Appreciation Rights that first become exercisable on any Exercisable Date may be reduced (and therefore may be forfeited) or Exercisable Dates may be deferred (but not beyond the Expiration Date), in the event that the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) of JPMorgan Chase determines, as part of JPMorgan Chase’s annual performance assessment process, based on the CEO’s assessment of your performance and the performance of the Firm (which may include more than one performance year), that you have not achieved satisfactory progress toward priorities that have been established for you or that the Firm has not achieved satisfactory progress toward the Firm’s priorities for which you share responsibility as a member of the Operating Committee. Such a determination is subject to ratification by the Compensation and Management Development Committee of the Board of Directors of JPMorgan Chase.

	Your award will remain exercisable until the earlier of the tenth anniversary of the Grant Date (the “Expiration Date”) or the date the award is cancelled pursuant to this Award Agreement. Notwithstanding any provision herein, including but not limited to those provisions governing Job Elimination, Career Eligibility, Death, and Total Disability, no Stock Appreciation Right may be exercised after its Expiration Date.
Termination of Employment	Except as explicitly set forth below under “Job Elimination,” “Full Career Eligibility”, and “Death or Total Disability,” any Stock Appreciation Rights outstanding under this award will be cancelled effective on the date your employment with the Firm terminates for any reason.
	Job Elimination:
	For the one year period commencing with the date of termination of your employment (or if longer the 90 day period commencing with the Exercisable Date occurring during such one year period), any Stock Appreciation Right that is exercisable on your termination date or becomes exercisable during such period may be exercised by you in the event that:

• the Director Human Resources of the Firm or nominee in his/her sole discretion determines that the Firm terminated your employment because your job was eliminated; and

• after you are notified that your job will be eliminated, you provide such services as requested by the Firm in a cooperative and professional manner; and

• you satisfy the Release/Certifications Requirement set forth below.

Full Career Eligibility :

For the two year period commencing with the date of termination of your employment (or if longer the 90 day period commencing with the last Exercisable Date occurring during such two year period), any Stock Appreciation Right that is exercisable on your termination date or becomes exercisable during such period may be exercised by you in the event that:

• you leave the Firm voluntarily, have completed at least five years of continuous service with the Firm immediately preceding your termination date, and the sum of your age and Recognized Service (as defined below) on your date of termination equals or exceeds 60, and

• you provide at least 90 days advance written notice to the Firm of your intention to voluntarily terminate your employment under this provision, during which notice period you provide such services as requested by the Firm in a cooperative and professional manner and you do not perform any services for any other employer, and

• for the exercise period, you do not (i) perform services in any capacity (including self-employment) for a Financial Services Company (as defined below) or (ii) work in your profession (whether or not for a Financial Services Company); provided that you may work for a government, education or Not-for-Profit Organization (as defined below), and

• you satisfy the Release/Certification Requirements set forth below.

After receipt of such advance written notice, the Firm may choose to have you continue to provide services during the 90-day period or shorten the length of the 90-day notice period at the Firm’s discretion, but to a date no earlier than the date you would otherwise meet the age and service requirements.

Additional advance notice requirements may apply in certain business units (or equivalent organizational unit or department). (See “Special Notice Period” below.)

You must notify JPMorgan Chase in advance in writing if you are to perform services for any party or if you are self-employed following the date of your termination of employment. Failure to provide such notification could impact your right to exercise.

Death or Total Disability:

If you die while employed by the Firm, your designated beneficiary on file with the Human Resources Department (or if no beneficiary is on file or survives you, then your estate) may exercise for a two year period measured from date of your death (i) any Stock Appreciation Rights that were exercisable as of that date and (ii) any Stock Appreciation Rights that would have become exercisable had you remained employed during such 2 year period.

If your employment terminates as a result of your permanent and total disability as defined in

2

	the JPMorgan Chase & Co. Long Term Disability Plan (or for non-U.S. employees the equivalent local country plan), then you may exercise for a two year period measured from the date that your employment terminate any Stock Appreciation Rights that were exercisable as of the date of your termination. In the case of your total disability, you must notify JPMorgan Chase in advance in writing if you are to perform services for any party or if you are self-employed following the date of your termination of employment.

You also must certify compliance with the above requirements relevant to you pursuant to procedures established by the Firm in connection with an exercise.
	Termination for Cause

In business units that require this Special Notice Period, the current notice period is 90 days for managing directors (or comparable title) and above, 60 days for executive directors (or comparable title) and 30 days for vice presidents (or comparable title). Please note that in some cases, individuals may have specific agreements providing for longer notice periods than those stated above. In those cases, the longer notice period shall apply.

Remedies
•      Cancellation	In addition to the cancellation of the award as provided for in “Termination of Employment” and “Termination for Cause,” if the Firm in its sole discretion determines that (i) you are not in compliance with any of the advance notice/cooperation requirements or employment restrictions applicable to your termination of employment, or (ii) you have not returned the applicable release of claims or other documents specified above within the specified deadline, (iii) you violated any of the provisions as set forth above in “Your Obligations;” or (iv) Cancellation is appropriate pursuant to “Additional Award Conditions” below, all outstanding Stock Appreciation Rights under your award and will be immediately cancelled.

•      Recovery
	In addition, if you received shares under this award resulting from an exercise:

• following termination of employment when you were not in compliance with the employment restrictions then applicable to you during the exercise period;

	you will be required to pay the Firm an amount equal to the gain on each such exercise less withholding taxes. Payment may be made in shares of Common Stock or in cash, and may be deducted by the Firm from any shares that are subject to restriction on disposition as described above.
	You agree that this payment represents recovery of shares to which were not entitled under this Award Agreement and is not to be construed in any manner as a penalty.

Additional Award Conditions	Notwithstanding any terms of this Award Agreement to the contrary, JPMorgan Chase reserves the right in its sole discretion to cancel outstanding Stock Appreciation Rights under this award and/or to recover from you the net gain realized by you on any exercise of Stock Appreciation Rights under this award within one year after the applicable Exercisable Date:

• If you engaged in conduct detrimental to the Firm, insofar as it causes material financial or reputational harm to the Firm or one of its business activities.

Administrative Provisions	Binding Agreement: The Award Agreement will be binding upon any successor in interest to JPMorgan Chase, by merger or otherwise.
	Not a Contract of Employment: Nothing contained herein constitutes a contract of employment or continued employment. Employment is at-will and may be terminated by either you or JPMorgan Chase for any reason at any time. This award does not confer any right or entitlement to, nor does the award impose any obligation on the Firm to provide, the same or any similar award in the future.
	Exercise Procedures/Withholding Taxes: The exercise of Stock Appreciation Rights shall be in accordance with the Firm’s procedures for exercises of such awards. The date of exercise shall be the date when the properly completed notice of exercise is received and accepted by the Firm or its designee in accordance with the Firm’s procedures.

Following each exercise, the Firm will retain from each distribution the number of shares of Common Stock required to satisfy applicable tax obligations (including, to the extent legally permissible, recovery by the Firm of fringe benefit taxes). If, according to local country tax regulations, a withholding tax liability arises at a time after the date of exercise, JPMorgan Chase may implement any procedures necessary to ensure that the withholding obligation is fully satisfied, including, but not limited to, restricting transferability of the shares.

Assignment or Transfer: Except as otherwise provided in this Award Agreement, Stock Appreciation Rights shall not be assignable or transferable or subject to any lien, obligation or liability.

Other than in the case of forfeiture, cancellation or recovery of an award, the Firm may not retain such funds or securities until such time as they would otherwise be distributable to you in accordance with the Award Agreement.

Cancellation/Substitution: JPMorgan Chase may, in its sole discretion and for any reason, cancel outstanding unexercised Stock Appreciation Rights and substitute an equal number of non-qualified stock options to purchase the same number of shares of common stock of JPMorgan Chase represented by the cancelled Stock Appreciation Rights. Such substituted options shall have the same exercise price, Expiration Date and other terms and conditions that were applicable to the Stock Appreciation Rights; provided that the method of exercise and the payment of exercise price, as well as the method of payment of withholding taxes, may be changed by JPMorgan Chase.

Change in Outstanding Shares: In the event of any change in the outstanding shares of Common Stock by reason of any stock dividend or split, recapitalization, issuance of a new class of common stock, merger, consolidation, spin-off, combination or exchange of shares or other similar corporate change, or any distributions to stockholders of Common Stock other than regular cash dividends, the Committee will make an equitable substitution or proportionate adjustment, in the number or kind of shares of Common Stock or other securities issued or reserved for issuance pursuant to the Plan and to any Stock Appreciation Rights (including but not to limited to their Exercise Price) outstanding under this award for such corporate events.
