Prospectus dated 22 June 20092009, amended 10 June 2010ISIN: XS0434647524

JPMorgan Chase & Co.

Structured Products Programme for the issuance of Notes, Warrants and Certificates

U.S.$20,000,00015,000,000Notes Linked to the Credit of Swiss Reinsurance due 2010,2011, under the J.P. Morgan Structured Products B.V., J.P. Morgan Bank Dublin plc, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and JPMorgan Chase & Co. Structured Products Programme for the issuance of Notes, Warrants and Certificates Series Number: 2009‑1876

This Prospectus under which the Series 2009‑1876 U.S.$20,000,00015,000,000 Notes Linked to the Credit of Swiss Reinsurance due 2010 are described (the "Notes") incorporates by reference parts of the Base Prospectus dated 14 May 2009, as supplemented by a Supplement dated 12 June 2009Supplements to the Base Prospectus listed in Annex E hereto (the "Base Prospectus") relating to issues of non‑equity securities by JPMorgan Chase & Co. (the "Issuer") under the Structured Products Programme for the issuance of Notes, Warrants and Certificates (the "Programme"). It should be read together with the Base Prospectus as one document. To the extent that the Base Prospectus is inconsistent with this Prospectus, this Prospectus shall prevail. Terms defined in the Base Prospectus shall, unless the context otherwise requires, bear the same meanings in this Prospectus. Together, the Base Prospectus and this Prospectus shall constitute a "prospectus" for the purposes of Article 5.3 of Directive 2003/71/EC (the "Prospectus Directive") and for the purpose of giving information with regard to the Issuer which is necessary to enable the investors to make an informed assessment of the assets and liabilities, financial position, profit and losses and prospects of the Issuer.

The Issuer accepts responsibility for the information contained in this Prospectus. To the best of the knowledge of the Issuer (having taken all reasonable care to ensure that such is the case) the information contained in this Prospectus is in accordance with the facts and does not omit anything likely to affect the import of such information. The delivery of this Prospectus at any time does not imply that any information contained herein is correct at any time subsequent to the date hereof.

This Prospectus is to be read in conjunction with all documents which are deemed to be incorporated herein by reference (see "Incorporation by Reference" below).

Application has been made to the Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier (the "CSSF") in its capacity as competent authority under the Luxembourg Act dated 10 July 2005 on prospectuses for securities to approve this document as a prospectus. Application will be made in order for the Notes to be admitted to trading on the regulated market of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange, which is an EU regulated market within the meaning of Directive 2004/39/EC and listed on the official list of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange.The Prospectus was approved by the CSSF as of 22 June 2009. The CSSF has provided the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (the "UK Listing Authority") (the competent authority in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland) with a certificate of approval attesting that this Prospectus has been drawn up in accordance with the Prospectus Directive and the Luxembourg act dated 10 July 2005 on prospectuses for securities. Application has also been made to the London Stock Exchange plc (the "London Stock Exchange") for the Notes to be admitted to trading on the London Stock Exchange's regulated market. The Notes have been admitted to trading on the London Stock Exchanges regulated Market as of 29 June 2009. Application willhas also be made after the Issue Date to list and trade the Notes on the Sistema Internacional de Cotizaciones (SIC) of the Bolsa Mexicana de Valores. The Notes have been admitted to trading on the Sistema Internacional de Cotizaciones (SIC) of the Bolsa Mexicana de Valores as of 29 June 2009. References in this Prospectus to the Notes being listed (and all related references) shall mean that the Notes have been admitted to trading on the London Stock Exchange's regulated market and have been admitted to the Official List. The London Stock Exchange's regulated market is a regulated market for the purposes of Directive 2004/39/EC (the "Markets in Financial Instruments Directive"). The Prospectus admitted for trading as described above is being amended to reflect changes made as of 10 June 2010.

The Notes have not been and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") or any U.S. State securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States or to, or for the account or the benefit of, U.S. persons unless an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act is available and in accordance with all applicable securities laws of any state of the United States and any other jurisdiction. See further "Subscription and Sale" in the Base Prospectus.

This Prospectus does not constitute, and may not be used for the purposes of, an offer or solicitation by anyone in any jurisdiction in which such offer or solicitation is not authorised or to any person to whom it is unlawful to make such offer or solicitation, and no action is being taken to permit an offering of the Notes or the distribution of this Prospectus in any jurisdiction where such action is required.

The Issue Price specified below may be more than the market value of the Notes as at the Issue Date, and the price, if any, at which J.P. Morgan Securities Ltd. ("JPMSL") or any other person is willing to purchase the Notes in secondary market transactions is likely to be lower than the Issue Price. In particular, the Issue Price may take into account amounts with respect to commissions relating to the issue and sale of the Notes as well as amounts relating to the hedging of the Issuer's obligations under the Notes, and secondary market prices are likely to exclude such amounts. In addition, whilst the proprietary pricing models of JPMSL are based on well recognised financial principles, other market participants' pricing models may differ or produce a different result.

If any commissions or fees relating to the issue and sale of these Notes have been paid or are payable by the Dealer to an intermediary, then such intermediary may be obliged to fully disclose to its clients the existence, nature and amount of any such commissions or fees (including, if applicable, by way of discount) as required in accordance with laws and regulations applicable to such intermediary, including any legislation, regulation and/or rule implementing the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive, or as otherwise may apply in any non‑EEA jurisdictions. Potential investors in these Notes intending to purchase Notes through an intermediary (including by way of introducing broker) should request details of any such commission or fee payment from such intermediary before making any purchase hereof.

These Notes are not a deposit insured or guaranteed by the United States Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government authority. These Notes are unsecured and unsubordinated debt obligations of the Issuer or any of its affiliates other than the Issuer, and will rank pari passu with all other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of the Issuer subject to a preference in favour of certain deposit liabilities of the Issuer or other obligations that are subject to any priorities or preferences.

Prospective investors should ensure that they understand the nature of the risks posed by, and the extent of their exposure under, the Notes. Prospective investors should make all pertinent inquiries they deem necessary without relying on the Issuer or JPMSL. Prospective investors should consider the suitability of the Notes as an investment in light of their own circumstances, investment objectives, tax position and financial condition. Prospective investors should consider carefully all the information set forth in this Prospectus along with all the information set forth in the Base Prospectus. Prospective investors should pay particular attention to the section entitled "Risk Factors" in the Base Prospectus (pages 20‑49 inclusive) and the information set out in the section of the Prospectus entitled "Risk Factors".

RISK FACTORS

Prospective investors who consider purchasing any Notes should reach an investment decision only after carefully considering the suitability of such Notes in light of their particular circumstances. These risk factors should be read in addition to the risk factors set out in the Base Prospectus dated 14 May 2009 (as may be further supplemented up to and including the Issue Date).

Payment of Additional Amount

The Notes are principal‑protected and holders of the Notes will received the Aggregate Nominal Amount of the Notes (apportioned pro rata) on the Scheduled Maturity Date. However, the Notes do not bear interest and no Additional Amount will be paid unless a Credit Event Trigger occurs during the Credit Observation Period. Accordingly, if a Credit Event Trigger does not occur, a holder of a Note will receive only the principal amount of its Note.

No interest will be paid on the Notes

The Notes do not bear interest. The Notes are not traditional fixed income investments and a return in excess of the Aggregate Nominal Amount will be contingent upon the occurrence of a Credit Event. By purchasing the Notes, you are foregoing interest in exchange for the Additional Amount, if any. You may not receive an Additional Amount and you will not receive any interest and you will not otherwise be compensated for the time value of money or inflation, which both have a negative effect on the principal amount of your investment.

Credit Risk of the Issuer

The Notes are subject to the credit risk of the Issuer. Fluctuations in the Issuer's credit ratings and credit spreads may adversely affect the market value of the Notes. Investors are dependent on the Issuer's ability to pay all amounts due on the Notes at maturity or on any other relevant payment dates, and therefore investors are subject to the Issuer's credit risk and to changes in the market's view of the Issuer's creditworthiness.

You will be exposed a Credit Event that occurs prior to the Trade Date.

The Credit Observation Period commences up to 60 days prior to the Trade Date and will continue until the Scheduled Credit Observation End Date. A Credit Event that occurred up to 60 days prior to the Trade Date may therefore impact the Notes. Noteholders should conduct their own review of any recent developments with respect to the Reference Entity by consulting publicly available information. If a request to convene a Credit Derivatives Determinations Committee has been delivered prior to the Trade Date to determine whether a Credit Event has occurred with respect to the Reference Entity, details of such request may be found on the ISDA website. If a Credit Derivatives Determinations Committee has not been convened to determine such matter as of the Trade Date, one may still be convened after the Trade Date in respect of an event which occurs up to 60 days before the date of a request to convene such Credit Derivatives Determinations Committee.

Credit Spread Risk

As credit spreads widen for the Reference Entity, the value of the Notes will increase for you in a manner comparable to a debt security issued by the Reference Entity with a maturity equal to the Scheduled Maturity Date. Conversely, as credit spreads tighten, the value of the Notes will decline for you in a manner comparable to a debt security issued by the Reference Entity with a maturity equal to the Scheduled Maturity Date.

Potential Conflicts of Interest with the Calculation Agent; Calculations and Determinations

When JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association ("JPMorgan") acts as Calculation Agent, except for circumstances in which determinations are made by the Credit Derivatives Determinations Committees or pursuant to an Auction, JPMorgan also acts in its sole discretion in determining whether to declare a Credit Event Trigger, a Succession Event or any other determination related to the Notes.

JPMorgan and its affiliates may carry out hedging activities related to the Notes, including trading in the obligations of the Reference Entity as well as in other instruments related to the Reference Entity. JPMorgan and its affiliates may also trade the obligations of the Reference Entity and other financial instruments related to the obligations of the Reference Entity on a regular basis as part of its general businesses.

We act in our sole discretion in determining whether to accept commitments to purchase the Notes, whether to accept offers of early tender of the Notes and in determining the terms of any such early tender of the Notes.

When we act as Calculation Agent, we act in our sole discretion in determining when to notify the Paying Agent of the occurrence of a Credit Event by delivery of a Credit Event Notice and Notice of Publicly Available Information, determining whether a Potential Credit Event exists, determining whether a Succession Event has occurred, in carrying out all other calculations and determinations with respect to the Notes and in resolving any inconsistency between the 2003 Definitions (as defined in the Credit Annex attached hereto as Annex A) and this Prospectus. In our role as Calculation Agent, we will also have the ability to choose, in our sole discretion whether or not to notify the Paying Agent of a Credit Event, which would create a Credit Event Trigger and, ultimately, an Additional Payment. Therefore even if a Credit Event were to occur, an Additional Payment may not follow. However, notwithstanding the foregoing, in circumstances where a Credit Derivatives Determinations Committee has resolved that a Credit Event, a Potential Failure to Pay, a Potential Repudiation/Moratorium or a Succession Event has occurred, the Calculation Agent will also declare a Credit Event, Potential Credit Event or a Succession Event, as the case may be, for the purposes of the Notes and deliver notice thereof to the Paying Agent as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter. Whilst the Calculation Agent is obliged to follow affirmative determinations of a Credit Derivatives Determinations Committee, if a Credit Derivatives Determinations Committee is not convened to determine an issue (such as the occurrence or not of a Credit Event, a Potential Failure to Pay, a Potential Repudiation/Moratorium or Succession Event) then the Calculation Agent may make a determination (in its sole and absolute discretion) in respect of such issue.

JPMorgan and its affiliates may currently or from time to time engage in commercial, investment banking or other business with the Reference Entity, and/or any affiliate of the Reference Entity, or any other person or entity having obligations relating to the Reference Entity, and may act with respect to such business in the same manner as if the Notes did not exist, regardless of whether any such action might have an adverse effect on the Reference Entity or the Noteholders or otherwise (including, without limitation, the acceptance of deposits and the extension of loans or credit and any action that might constitute or give rise to a Credit Event). In the course of this business, we and our affiliates may acquire non‑public information about the Reference Entity, and in addition, one or more of JPMorgan's affiliates may publish research reports about it. You should undertake an independent investigation of the Reference Entity as in your judgment is appropriate to make an informed decision with respect to an investment in the Notes.

The Issuer and JPMSI act in their sole discretion in determining whether to accept commitments to purchase the Notes, whether to accept offers of early tender of the Notes and in determining the terms of any such early tender of the Notes.

Auction Settlement and ability of JPMorgan and its affiliates to influence the Auction Settlement Amount

As of the Issue Date, the Calculation Agent (or one of its affiliates) is a leading dealer in the credit derivatives market. If Auction Settlement applies in respect of a Reference Entity for which a Credit Event has occurred and an Auction is held, the Additional Amount which the Noteholders will receive in respect of their Notes will be based on the final price determined in such auction (the "Auction Final Price"). There is a high probability that the Calculation Agent (or one of its affiliates) would act as a participating bidder in any such auction. In such capacity, it may take certain actions which may influence the Auction Final Price including (without limitation): (a) providing rates of conversion to determine the applicable currency conversion rates to be used to convert any obligations which are not denominated in the auction currency into such currency for the purposes of the Auction; and (b) submitting bids, offers and physical settlement requests with respect to the relevant Deliverable Obligations. In deciding whether to take any such action (or whether to act as a participating bidder in any auction), the Calculation Agent (or its affiliate) shall be under no obligation to consider the interests of any Noteholder.

If Auction Settlement is applicable and an Auction occurs, Noteholders will not be able to participate in the auction process and will have no rights to submit Customer Physical Settlement Requests for physical settlement of their Notes.

 

During the auction process, the administrator of the Auction will solicit physical settlement requests from the auction participants to buy or sell Deliverable Obligations of the applicable Reference Entity. Auction participants (which includes dealers who are participating in the Auction, as well as customers of those dealers who have entered into credit derivative transactions), may submit physical settlement requests in the same direction as their market positions. If a participating bidder of a credit default swap transaction is a net buyer of protection, it may submit a Physical Settlement Sell Request up to its market position, and if it is a net seller of protection, it may submit a Physical Settlement Buy Request up to its market position. Under the terms of the Notes, the noteholders cannot submit customer physical settlement requests, and the Issuer and its affiliates, who may participate in the Auction, are under no obligation to submit customer physical settlement requests for the Noteholders. Your position as a Noteholder will not be represented in the Auction. Your inability to participate in the Auction, along with other Noteholders who own credit‑linked Notes linked to the applicable Reference Entity, may in the aggregate, have a material effect on the Auction Final Price, and in turn, have a materially adverse effect on your returns as a purchaser of the Notes. The Auction Final Price, therefore, may not be representative of the actual price of Deliverable Obligations of the applicable Reference Entity, and you may receive less than you would have received if you had purchased a credit‑linked Note with an alternative settlement procedure.

 

If Auction Settlement is applicable and an Auction occurs, a lack of Limit Offers sufficient to clear an Open Interest to purchase Deliverable Obligations will result in an Auction Final Price of 100% and a lack of Limit Bids sufficient to clear an Open Interest to sell Deliverable Obligations will result in an Auction price of zero.

 

The Administrator of the Auction will determine the Open Interest for the Deliverable Obligations of the applicable Reference Entity by calculating the difference between the Physical Settlement Sell Requests and the Physical Settlement Buy Requests. If there are more Physical Settlement Sell Requests than Physical Settlement Buy Requests, the Open Interest will be an offer to sell Deliverable Obligations and participating bidders will submit Limit Bids against the Open Interest; if there are more Physical Settlement Buy Requests than Physical Settlement Sell Requests, the Open Interest will be a bid to purchase Deliverable Obligations and participating bidders will submit Limit Offers against the Open Interest. If there are insufficient Limit Bids (and Initial Market Bids) against an Open Interest to sell Deliverable Obligations, the Auction Final Price will be zero. If there are insufficient Limit Offers (and Initial Market Offers) against an Open Interest to buy Deliverable Obligations, the Auction Final Price will be equal to 100%. Under the terms of the Notes, the noteholders cannot submit Limit Bids or Limit Offers, and the Issuer and its affiliates, who may participate in the Auction, are under no obligation to submit Limit Bids or Limit Offers, as applicable, for the Noteholders. Your position as a Noteholder will not be represented in the Auction. Your inability to participate in the Auction, along with other Noteholders who own credit‑linked Notes linked to the applicable Reference Entity, may in the aggregate, have a material effect on the Auction Final Price, and in turn, have a materially adverse effect on your returns as a purchaser of the Notes. The Auction Final Price, therefore, may not be representative of the actual price of Deliverable Obligations of the applicable Reference Entity, and you may receive less than you would have received if you had purchased a credit‑linked Note with an alternative settlement procedure.

Noteholders, in their capacity as holders of the Notes, will not be able to refer questions to the Credit Derivatives Determinations Committees

The Noteholders, in their capacity as holders of the Notes, will not have the ability to refer questions to a Credit Derivatives Determinations Committee since the Notes are not a credit default swap transaction and the Notes do not incorporate and are not deemed to have incorporated, the 2009 ISDA Credit Derivatives Determinations Committees and, Auction Settlement and Restructuring Supplement to the 2003 ISDA Credit Derivatives Definitions (published on 12 March14 July 2009) as published by ISDA (the "MarchJuly 2009 Supplement"). As a result, Noteholders will be dependent on other market participants to refer specific questions to the Credit Derivatives Determinations Committees that may be relevant to the Noteholders. The Calculation Agent has no duty to the Noteholders to refer specific questions to the Credit Derivatives Determinations Committees.

Noteholders will have no role in the composition of the Credit Derivatives Determinations Committees

Separate criteria apply with respect to the selection of dealer and non‑dealer institutions to serve on the Credit Derivatives Determinations Committees and the Noteholders will have no role in establishing such criteria. In addition, the composition of the Credit Derivatives Determinations Committees will change from time to time as described in "The Composition of the Credit Derivatives Determinations Committess" in the Credit Derivatives Determinations Committees Annex attached hereto as Annex C, as the term of a member institution may expire or a member institution may be required to be replaced. The Noteholders will have no control over the process for selecting institutions to participate on the Credit Derivatives Determinations Committees and, to the extent provided for in the Notes, will be subject to the determinations made by such selected institutions in accordance with the Rules.

Potential conflicts of interest due to the involvement of the Calculation Agent with the Credit Derivatives Determinations Committees

Since, as of the Issue Date, the Calculation Agent (or one of its affiliates) is a voting member on each of the Credit Derivatives Determinations Committees and is a party to transactions which incorporate, or are deemed to incorporate, the MarchJuly 2009 Supplement, it may take certain actions which may influence the process and outcome of decisions of the Credit Derivatives Determinations Committees. See "Ability of the Calculation Agent or its Affiliates to influence the Credit Derivatives Determinations Committees" in the Credit Derivatives Determinations Committees Annex attached hereto as Annex C. Such action may be adverse to the interests of the Noteholders and may result in an economic benefit accruing to the Calculation Agent. In taking any action relating to the Credit Derivatives Determinations Committees or performing any duty under the Rules, the Calculation Agent shall have no obligation to consider the interests of the Noteholders and may ignore any conflict of interest arising due to its responsibilities under the Notes.

Noteholders will have no recourse against either the institutions serving on the Credit Derivatives Determinations Committees or the external reviewers

Institutions serving on the Credit Derivatives Determinations Committees and the external reviewers, among others, disclaim any duty of care or liability arising in connection with the performance of duties or the provision of advice under the Rules, except in the case of gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct. Furthermore, the member institutions of the Credit Derivatives Determinations Committees do not owe any duty to the Noteholders and the Noteholders will be prevented from pursuing legal claims with respect to actions taken by such member institutions under the Rules.

Noteholders should also be aware that member institutions of the Credit Derivatives Determinations Committees have no duty to research or verify the veracity of information on which a specific determination is based. In addition, the Credit Derivatives Determinations Committees are not obligated to follow previous determinations and, therefore, could reach a conflicting determination for a similar set of facts.

Noteholders shall be responsible for obtaining information relating to deliberations of the Credit Derivatives Determinations Committees

Notices of questions referred to the Credit Derivatives Determinations Committees, meetings convened to deliberate such questions and the results of binding votes of the Credit Derivatives Determinations Committees will be published on the website of the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. and neither the Issuer, the Calculation Agent nor any of their respective affiliates shall be obliged to inform the Noteholders of such information (other than as expressly provided in the terms of the Notes). Failure by the Noteholders to be aware of information relating to determinations of a Credit Derivatives Determinations Committee will have no effect under the Notes and Noteholders are solely responsible for obtaining any such information.

No Noteholder Rights with respect to the Reference Entity

We have no ability to control or predict the actions of the Reference Entity, including actions that could affect the value of the Notes. None of the money you pay us will go to the Reference Entity, the Reference Entity will not be involved in the offering of the Notes in any way, and the Reference Entity will not have any obligation to consider your interest as a Noteholder in taking any actions that might affect the value of the Notes. As a Noteholder, you will not have voting rights, rights to receive distributions or any other rights with respect to the obligations of the Reference Entity.

Suitability

You should ensure that you understand the nature of the Notes and the extent of your exposure to risk, that you have sufficient knowledge, experience and access to professional advisers to make your own legal, tax, accounting and financial evaluation of the merits and risks of an investment in the Notes and that you consider the suitability of the Notes as an investment in the light of your own circumstances and financial condition.

You should only consider purchasing the Notes if you believe that the Reference Entity will experience a Credit Event during the Credit Observation Period.

No Replacement of the Reference Entity

Following the Trade Date, we will not be able to replace the Reference Entity to avoid Credit Events or Succession Events. Any Succession Event that occurs with respect to the Reference Entity or its Successor on or after the Succession Event Backstop Date (which may be prior to the Trade Date) may change the probability of the occurrence of a Credit Event and risk of your investment. Therefore, you should not invest in the Notes unless you are comfortable with the creditworthiness of the Reference Entity and the likelihood of the occurrence of a Credit Event and/or Succession Event.

Succession Events with respect to the Reference Entity

The occurrence of Succession Events between the Reference Entity identified as such on the Trade Date and another company or other corporate entity may expose you to new credit risks. Changes in the Reference Entity may change the probability of a Credit Event and consequently may adversely affect the Notes. You should read the section called "Terms relating to the determination of Successors" in the Credit Annex for more information on the effect of Succession Events on the Notes.

Lack of Liquidity; Secondary Market Risks

The Notes will be admitted to trading on the regulated London Stock Exchange (United Kingdom), the Luxembourg Stock Exchange (Luxembourg) and the Bolsa de Valores (Mexico). JPMSI 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 the Notes is likely to depend on the price, if any, at which the Agent, the Issuer or any of their respective affiliates is willing to buy the Notes.

The price at which you will be able to sell the Notes to us or our affiliates prior to maturity, if at all, may be at a substantial discount from the principal amount of the Notes, even in cases where the credit spreads on the Reference Entity have widened since the Trade Date. The potential returns described in this Prospectus assume that the Notes, which are not designed to be short‑term trading instruments, are held to maturity.

The inclusion of agents' compensation, compensation of an affiliate of the agents and expected profit from hedging in the original issue price is likely to adversely affect the price at which we or our affiliates are willing to repurchase the Notes, if at all. Assuming no change in market conditions or any other relevant factors, the price, if any, at which we or our affiliates will be willing to purchase Notes from you, if at all, will likely be lower than the original issue price, because the original issue price included the compensation paid to the agents and an affiliate of the agents with respect to the Notes, as well as the cost of hedging our obligations under the Notes, which includes an estimated profit component. In addition, any such prices may differ from values determined by pricing models used by the agents, as a result of such compensation or other transaction costs.

Limited Provision of Information about the Reference Entity

As the occurrence of a Credit Event Trigger will result in the payment of an Additional Amount based on: (a) if Auction Settlement occurs, the Auction Final Price; or (b) if Cash Settlement occurs, the Final Price. You should conduct your own investigation and analysis with respect to the creditworthiness of the Reference Entity and the likelihood of the occurrence of a Succession Event or Credit Event.

On the Trade Date, financial and other information with respect to the Reference Entity is expected to be available from publicly available sources. Additional Information on the past and further performance of the Reference Entity and its volatility can be obtained at http://www.swissre.com/. JPMorgan and its affiliates make no representation as to the accuracy or completeness of any information available with respect to the Reference Entity.

A Credit Event Trigger may occur at any time from and including the Credit Event Backstop Date to and including the Scheduled Credit Observation End Date. A Credit Event Trigger will occur when the Calculation Agent delivers a Credit Event Notice and Notice of Publicly Available Information to the Paying Agent. The Calculation Agent will notify the Paying Agent of the occurrence of a Credit Event at any time from and including the Trade Date to and including the date that is fourteen calendar days after the Scheduled Credit Observation End Date. The Paying Agent will then give notice to you through the clearing system of the occurrence of a Credit Event Trigger. The Calculation Agent will not be liable for failure by the Paying Agent or the clearing system to provide notice to you. Neither the Calculation Agent nor its affiliates will have any obligation to keep Noteholders informed as to any matters with respect to the Reference Entity or any of its obligations, including whether or not circumstances exist that give rise to the possibility of the occurrence of a Credit Event or a Succession Event with respect to the Reference Entity.

You will not have the right to inspect any records the Calculation Agent or its affiliates. Except for the information contained in this Prospectus, neither the Calculation Agent nor any of its affiliates will have any obligation to disclose any information or evidence regarding the existence or terms of any obligation of the Reference Entity or otherwise regarding such Reference Entity, any guarantor or any other person.

Further Risks

JPMorgan Chase & Co. and its subsidiaries and affiliates, including the Issuer (for the purposes of these paragraphs, collectively, "JPMorgan") trade instruments related to the Reference Entity on a regular basis, for their accounts and for other accounts under their management. JPMorgan may also issue or underwrite or assist unaffiliated entities in the issuance or underwriting of other securities or financial instruments with returns linked to the Reference Entity. To the extent that JPMorgan serves as issuer, arranger or dealer for such securities or financial instruments, its or their interests with respect to such products may be adverse to those of the holders of the Notes. Any of these trading activities could potentially affect the credit of the Reference Entity and, accordingly, could affect the value of the Notes, and the amount, if any, payable to you at maturity.

JPMorgan may currently or from time to time engage in business with the Reference Entity. In the course of this business, JPMorgan may acquire non‑public information about the Reference Entity, and such information will not be disclosed to you. In addition, JPMorgan may publish research reports about the the Reference Entity. Any prospective purchaser of Notes should undertake such independent investigation of the Reference Entity in its judgment as to whether an investment in the Notes is appropriate.

JPMorgan may serve as issuer, arranger or dealer for additional issuances of Notes or Notes with returns linked or related to the Reference Entity. By introducing competing products into the marketplace in this manner, JPMorgan could adversely affect the value of the Notes.

Credit Events (other than Bankruptcy) each occur with respect to Obligations. "Obligations" are any obligations of a Reference Entity (either directly or as a provider of any Qualifying Affiliated Guarantee or, if All Guarantees is specified as applicable with respect to a Reference Entity, as a provider of any Qualifying Guarantee) that either, as of the date of the event that constitutes the Credit Event which is the subject of the Credit Event Notice or asthe notice to ISDA resulting in the occurrence of the Credit Event Resolution Request Date, as applicable, are (a) the Reference Obligation in respect of a Reference Entity or (b) obligations of a Reference Entity that are within the applicable Obligation Category and satisfy the applicable Obligation Characteristics with respect to a Reference Entity; provided, however that if an Excluded Obligation is specified with respect to a Reference Entity, such Excluded Obligation shall not be an Obligation for the purposes of this definition. For the avoidance of doubt, unless a DC Credit Event Announcement has occurred with respect to a Reference Entity, the determination of whether an obligation constitutes an "Obligation" for the purposes herein shall be made by the Calculation Agent in its sole discretion.

"Reference Obligation" means each obligation specified as such or of a type described with respect to a Reference Entity (if any are so specified or described) and any Substitute Reference Obligation.

"Substitute Reference Obligation" means one or more obligations of a Reference Entity (either directly or as provider of a Qualifying Affiliate Guarantee or, if All Guarantees is specified as applicable to such Reference Entity, as provider of any Qualifying Guarantee) that will replace one or more Reference Obligations identified by the relevant Credit Derivatives Determinations Committee. If the relevant Credit Derivatives Determinations Committee has not identified a Substitute Reference Obligation, the Calculation Agent, in its sole and absolute discretion, will identify a Substitute Reference Obligation in accordance with the following provisions.

(a) In the event that (i) the Reference Obligation specified for a Reference Entity is redeemed in whole or (ii) in the opinion of the Calculation Agent (A) the aggregate amounts due under the Reference Obligation have been materially reduced by redemption or otherwise (other than due to any scheduled redemption, amortisation or prepayments), (B) the Reference Obligation is an Underlying Obligation with a Qualifying Guarantee of a Reference Entity and, other than due to the existence or occurrence of a Credit Event, the Qualifying Guarantee is no longer a valid and binding obligation of a Reference Entity enforceable in accordance with its terms or (C) for any other reason, other than due to the existence or occurrence of a Credit Event, the Reference Obligation is no longer an obligation of a Reference Entity, the Calculation Agent may, at any time after such event identify an Obligation to replace the Reference Obligation.

(b) Any Substitute Reference Obligation shall be an Obligation that (i) ranks pari passu in priority of payment with the ranking in priority of payment of each of the Substitute Reference Obligation and such Reference Obligation (with the ranking in priority of payment of such Reference Obligation being determined as of the date as of which the Reference Obligation was issued or incurred and not reflecting any change to such ranking in priority of payment after such date), (ii) preserves the economic equivalent as closely as practicable as determined by the Calculation Agent of the delivery and payment obligations under the Securities and (iii) is an obligation of the relevant Reference Entity (either directly or in the case of a Reference Entity in respect of which "All Guarantees" is specified as not being applicable with respect to a Reference Entity, as provider of a Qualifying Affiliate Guarantee or, in the case of a Reference Entity in respect of which "All Guarantees" is specified as being applicable with respect to a Reference Entity, as provider of a Qualifying Guarantee). The Obligation identified by the Calculation Agent shall, without further action, replace the Reference Obligation. The Reference Obligation for any Successor shall be deemed to be the "Reference Obligation" from the Succession Date.

(c) For the purposes of identification of a Reference Obligation, any change in the Reference Obligation's CUSIP or ISIN number or other similar identifier will not, in and of itself, convert such Reference Obligation into a different Obligation.

(d) Upon the determination of a Substitute Reference Obligation, the Calculation Agent will promptly deliver a Notice to the Paying Agent. The Paying Agent will send notice to the Noteholders in accordance with General Condition 26.

"Qualifying Affiliate Guarantee" means a Qualifying Guarantee provided by a Reference Entity in respect of an Underlying Obligation of a Downstream Affiliate of a Reference Entity.

"Qualifying Guarantee" means an arrangement evidenced by a written instrument pursuant to which a Reference Entity irrevocably agrees (by guarantee of payment or equivalent legal arrangement) to pay all amounts due under an obligation (the "Underlying Obligation") for which another party is the obligor (the "Underlying Obligor").

The benefit of a Qualifying Guarantee must be capable of being delivered together with the delivery of the Underlying Obligation.

For purposes of determining whether an obligation satisfies the "Not Subordinated" Obligation Characteristic or Deliverable Obligation Characteristic, the ranking in priority of payment of the Reference Obligation or each Prior Reference Obligation, as applicable, shall be determined as of the date on which the relevant Reference Obligation or Prior Reference Obligation, as applicable, was issued or incurred, and shall not reflect any change to such ranking in priority of payment after such date.

(ii) "Subordination" means, with respect to an obligation (the "Subordinated Obligation") and another obligation of a Reference Entity to which such obligation is being compared (the "Senior Obligation"), a contractual, trust or similar arrangement providing that (i) upon the liquidation, dissolution, reorganization or winding up of a Reference Entity, claims of the holders of the Senior Obligation will be satisfied prior to the claims of the holders of the Subordinated Obligation or (ii) the holders of the Subordinated Obligation will not be entitled to receive or retain payments in respect of their claims against a Reference Entity at any time that a Reference Entity is in payment arrears or is otherwise in default under the Senior Obligation. "Subordinated" will be construed accordingly. For purposes of determining whether Subordination exists or whether an obligation is Subordinated with respect to another obligation to which it is being compared, the existence of preferred creditors arising by operation of law or of collateral, credit support or other credit enhancement arrangements shall not be taken into account.

(b) "Specified Currency - Standard Specified Currencies" means an obligation that is payable in any of the lawful currencies of Canada, Japan, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and the United States of America or the euro (or any successor currency to any of the aforementioned currencies) or any currency specified in addition thereto with respect to a Reference Entity.

For more information, see Article VIII "Terms Relating to Restructuring" below.

VIIIVII. TERMS RELATING TO CASH SETTLEMENT

If a Credit Event Trigger occurs with respect to a Reference Entity and "Cash Settlement" is specified as the Settlement Method with respect to a Reference Entity or "Cash Settlement" is deemed to be applicable in accordance with the "Terms Relating to Auction Settlement" above, the Calculation Agent will determine, in its sole and absolute discretion, the Final Price with respect to a Reference Entity on any business day from and including the Event Determination Date to and including the 125th Business Day following the Event Determination Date; provided, however, that if certain pricing difficulties arise, the Calculation Agent may delay the determination of the Final Price for an additional 20 Business Days (such determination date, the "Valuation Date"). The determination of the Final Price shall be made with respect to one or more Deliverable Obligations selected by the Calculation Agent in its sole and absolute discretion that are either the Reference Obligation or within the applicable Deliverable Obligation Category and satisfy the Deliverable Obligation Characteristics applicable with respect to a Reference Entity. 

"Final Price" means (a) with respect to Securities in which the holder is a seller of protection, the highest of bid quotations (expressed as a percentage) for the relevant Deliverable Obligation in an outstanding principal amount or Due and Payable Amounts equal to the Quotation Amount or (b) with respect to Securities in which the holder is a buyer of protection, the lowest of offer quotations (expressed as a percentage) for the relevant Deliverable Obligation in an outstanding principal amount or Due and Payable Amounts equal to the Quotation Amount, each as, determined on the Valuation Date by the Calculation Agent in its sole discretion. If no quotations are obtained, the Final Price will be determined by the Calculation Agent in good faith and a commercially reasonable manner (which may be zero).

"Excluded Deliverable Obligation" means any obligation of a Reference Entity specified as such or of a type described with respect to a Reference Entity.

"Quotation Amount" means any amount not greater than the then aggregate outstanding notional amount of the Securities, as selected in the sole discretion of the Calculation Agent.

"Deliverable Obligation" means (a) each obligation of a Reference Entity described by the Deliverable Obligation Category specified as being applicable with respect to a Reference Entity, and having each of the Deliverable Obligation Characteristics, if any, specified as being applicable with respect to a Reference Entity, in each case, as of the Valuation Date and (b) the Reference Obligation; provided, however that if an Excluded Deliverable Obligation is specified with respect to a Reference Entity, such Excluded Deliverable Obligation shall not be an Obligation for the purposes of this definition.

"Deliverable Obligation Category" means one of Payment, Borrowed Money, Reference Obligations Only, Bond, Loan, or Bond or Loan (each as defined above), except that, for the purpose of determining Deliverable Obligations, Reference Obligations Only shall be amended to state that no Deliverable Obligation Characteristics shall be applicable to Reference Obligations Only.

(a) "Not Contingent" means any obligation having as of the RelevantValuation Date and all times thereafter an outstanding principal balance that pursuant to the terms of such obligation may not be reduced as a result of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event or circumstance (other than payment). A Convertible Obligation, an Exchangeable Obligation and an Accreting Obligation shall satisfy the "Not Contingent" Deliverable Obligation Characteristic if such Convertible Obligation, Exchangeable Obligation or Accreting Obligation otherwise meets the requirements of the preceding sentence so long as, in the case of a Convertible Obligation or an Exchangeable Obligation, the right (i) to convert or exchange such obligation or (ii) to require the issuer to purchase or redeem such obligation (if the issuer has exercised or may exercise the right to pay the purchase or redemption price, in whole or in part, in Equity Securities) has not been exercised (or such exercise has been effectively rescinded) on or before the RelevantValuation Date. If a Deliverable Obligation is a Convertible Obligation or an Exchangeable Obligation (each as defined in the 2003 Definitions), then Deliverable Obligation may be included as a Deliverable Obligation only if the rights referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) above have not been exercised (or such exercise has been effectively rescinded) on or before the RelevantValuation Date.

(b) "Assignable Loan" means a Loan that is capable of being assigned or novated to, at a minimum, commercial banks or financial institutions (irrespective of their jurisdiction of organisation) that are not then a lender or a member of the relevant lending syndicate, without the consent of a Reference Entity or the guarantor, if any, of such Loan (or the consent of the applicable borrower if a Reference Entity is guaranteeing such Loan) or any agent;

(c) "Consent Required Loan" means a Loan that is, as of the RelevantValuation Date, capable of being assigned or novated with the consent of a Reference Entity or the guarantor, if any, of such Loan (or the consent of the relevant borrower if a Reference Entity is guaranteeing such Loan) or any agent;

VIII. TERMS RELATING TO RESTRUCTURING

If a Credit Event Trigger occurs with respect to a Reference Entity and the Credit Event is "Restructuring", the following provisions will apply. In respect of a Reference Entity for which Restructuring is applicable and either "Restructuring Maturity Limitation and Fully Transferable Obligation Applicable" (such Restructuring Credit Event, a "Mod R Restructuring") or "Modified Restructuring Maturity Limitation and Conditionally Transferable Obligation" (such Restructuring Credit Event, "ModMod R Restructuring", and together with Mod R Restructuring, a "Mod/ModMod R Restructuring") is specified as applicable, several concurrent but separate auctions may occur with respect to such Mod/ModMod R Restructuring and such Reference Entity, as determined by the relevant Credit Derivatives Determinations Committee. To determine whether "Restructuring Maturity Limitation and Fully Transferable Obligation" or "Modified Restructuring Maturity Limitation and Conditionally Transferable Obligation" is specified as applicable with respect to the Reference Entity, see the Physical Settlement Matrix. Upon the occurrence of such Mod/ModMod R Restructuring, depending on the Scheduled Maturity Date of the Securities, the relevant Auction for the purposes of determining the Auction Final Price will be the CDS Auction where the Deliverable Obligation Terms are substantially identical to the Deliverable Obligation Provisions of the Securities, as determined by the Calculation Agent in its sole discretion. Deliverable Obligations with similar maturity dates will be grouped together and if there are sufficient Deliverable Obligations, as determined by the Rules, CDS Auctions will be held for each group of Deliverable Obligations. The Calculation agent will determine which CDS Auction is applicable to the Securities, if any, and the Auction Final Price determined in such CDS Auction will be applicable to the Securities. In the event that no CDS Auction is held with respect to the set of Deliverable Obligation Terms that pertain to the Securities, the Calculation Agent may exercise the Movement Option (see below). If the Calculation Agent does not or cannot exercise the Movement Option, the Securities shall be settled as if "Cash Settlement" were specified as the Settlement Method with respect to a Reference Entity.

If a Restructuring Credit Event occurs that is not a Mod/ModMod R Restructuring, an Auction will be held in accordance with the provisions in accordance with the "Terms Relating to Auction Settlement" above.

If "Restructuring Maturity Limitation and Fully Transferable Obligation" is specified as applicable to a Reference Entity and Restructuring is the only Credit Event specified in a Credit Event Notice delivered by the Calculation Agent, then any Deliverable Obligation must also be an obligation which (i) is a Fully Transferable Obligation and (ii) has a final maturity date not later than the applicableRestructuring Maturity Limitation Date.

"Fully Transferable Obligation" means a Deliverable Obligation that is either Transferable, in the case of Bonds, or capable of being assigned or novated to all Eligible Transferees without the consent of any person being required, in the case of any Deliverable Obligation other than Bonds. Any requirement that notification of novation, assignment or transfer of a Deliverable Obligation be provided to a trustee, fiscal agent, administrative agent, clearing agent or paying agent for a Deliverable Obligation shall not be considered to be a requirement for consent for purposes of this definition. For purposes of determining whether a Deliverable Obligation satisfies the requirements of the definition of Fully Transferable Obligation, such determination shall be made as of the Valuation Date or Auction Final Price Determination Date, as applicable, for the relevant Reference Entity, taking into account only the terms of the Deliverable Obligation and any related transfer or consent documents which have been obtained by the Calculation Agent.

"Restructuring Maturity Limitation Date" means the date that is the earlier of (x) thirty months following the Restructuring Date and (y), with respect to a Deliverable Obligation, the Limitation Date occurring on or immediately following the Scheduled Maturity Date, provided that, in circumstances where the Scheduled Maturity Date is later than the 2.5-year Limitation Date, at least one Enabling Obligation exists. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the final maturity date of the Restructured Bond or Loan with the latest final maturity date of any Restructured Bond or Loan, provided, however, that under no circumstances shall occurs prior to the 2.5-year Limitation Date (such Restructured Bond or Loan, a "Latest Maturity Restructured Bond or Loan") and the Scheduled Maturity Date occurs prior to the final maturity date of such Latest Maturity Restructured Bond or Loan, thenthe Restructuring Maturity Limitation Date be earlier than the Scheduled Credit Observation End Date or later than thirty months following the Scheduled Credit Observation End Date and if it is, it shall be deemed to be the Scheduled Credit Observation End Date or thirty months following the Scheduled Credit Observation End Date, as the case may bewill be the final maturity date of such Latest Maturity Restructured Bond or Loan. In the event that the Scheduled Maturity Date is later than: (i)(A) the final maturity date of the Latest Maturity Restructured Bond or Loan, if any; or (B) the 2.5-year Limitation Date, and, in either case, no Enabling Obligation exists; or (ii) the 20-year Limitation Date, the Restructuring Maturity Limitation Date will be the Scheduled Maturity Date.

"Restructured Bond or Loan" means an Obligation which is a Bond or Loan and in respect of which a Restructuring that is the subject of a Credit Event Notice has occurred.

"Restructuring Date" means, with respect to a Restructured Bond or Loan, the date on which a Restructuring is legally effective in accordance with the terms of the documentation governing such Restructuring.

"Restructured Bond or Loan" means an Obligation which is a Bond or Loan and in respect of which a Restructuring that is the subject of a Credit Event Notice has occurred.

"Eligible Transferee" means each of the following:

(a) any

(i) any bank or other financial institution;

(ii) an insurance or reinsurance company;

(iii) a mutual fund, unit trust or similar collective investment vehicle (other than an entity specified in clause (a)(i) below); and

(iv) a registered or licensed broker or dealer (other than a natural person or proprietorship);,

provided, however, in each case that such entity has total assets of at least USD 500,000,000.

(b) an Affiliate of an entity specified in the preceding clause (a);

(c) each of a corporation, partnership, proprietorship, organization, trust or other entity:

(i) that is an investment vehicle (including, without limitation, any hedge fund, issuer of collateralized debt obligations, commercial paper conduit or other special purpose vehicle) that (1) has total assets of at least USD 100,000,000 or (2) is one of a group of investment vehicles under common control or management having, in the aggregate, total assets of at least USD 100,000,000;

(ii) that has total assets of at least USD 500,000,000; or

(iii) the obligations of which under an agreement, contract or transaction are guaranteed or otherwise supported by a letter of credit or keepwell, support or other agreement by an entity described in clauses (a), (b), (c)(ii) or (d) of this definition; and

(d) a Sovereign, Sovereign Agency or Supranational Organization.

All references in this definition to USD include equivalent amounts in other currencies.

If "Modified Restructuring Maturity Limitation and Conditionally Transferable Obligation Applicable" is specified as applicable to a Reference Entity and Restructuring is the only Credit Event specified in a Credit Event Notice delivered by the Calculation Agent, then any Deliverable Obligation must also be an obligation which (i) is a Conditionally Transferable Obligation and (ii) has a final maturity date not later than the applicable Modified Restructuring Maturity Limitation Date.

"Conditionally Transferable Obligation" means a Deliverable Obligation that is either Transferable, in the case of Bonds, or capable of being assigned or novated to all Modified Eligible Transferees without the consent of any person being required, in the case of any Deliverable Obligation other than Bonds, provided, however, that a Deliverable Obligation other than Bonds will be a Conditionally Transferable Obligation notwithstanding that consent of a Reference Entity or the guarantor, if any, of a Deliverable Obligation other than Bonds (or the consent of the relevant obligor if a Reference Entity is guaranteeing such Deliverable Obligation) or any agent is required for such novation, assignment or transfer so long as the terms of such Deliverable Obligation provide that such consent may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Any requirement that notification of novation, assignment or transfer of a Deliverable Obligation be provided to a trustee, fiscal agent, administrative agent, clearing agent or paying agent for a Deliverable Obligation shall not be considered to be a requirement for consent for purposes of this definition. For purposes of determining whether a Deliverable Obligation satisfies the requirements of the definition of Conditionally Transferable Obligation, such determination shall be made as of the Valuation Date or Auction Final Price Determination Date, as applicable, for the relevant Reference Entity, taking into account only the terms of the Deliverable Obligation and any related transfer or consent documents which have been obtained by the Calculation Agent.

"Modified Restructuring Maturity Limitation Date" means, with respect to a Deliverable Obligation, the date that is the later of (x) the Scheduled Credit Observation End Date and (y) 60 months following the Restructuring Date in the case of a Restructured Bond or Loan, or 30 months following the Restructuring Date in the case of all other Deliverable Obligations.

"Modified Restructuring Maturity Limitation Date" means, with respect to a Deliverable Obligation, the Limitation Date occurring on or immediately following the Scheduled Maturity Date, provided that, in circumstances where the Scheduled Maturity Date is later than the 2.5-year Limitation Date, at least one Enabling Obligation exists. With respect to Securities for which "Modified Restructuring Maturity Limitation and Conditionally Transferable Obligation" is specified as applicable and for which the Scheduled Maturity Date is later than the 2.5-year Limitation Date and prior to the 5-year Limitation Date, a Restructured Bond or Loan will not constitute an Enabling Obligation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Scheduled Maturity Date is either (i) on or prior to the 2.5-year Limitation Date or (ii) later than the 2.5-year Limitation Date and on or prior to the 5-year Limitation Date and no Enabling Obligation exists, the Modified Restructuring Maturity Limitation Date will be the 5-year Limitation Date in the case of a Restructured Bond or Loan only. Subject to the foregoing, in the event that the Scheduled Maturity Date is later than (A) the 2.5-year Limitation Date and no Enabling Obligation exists or (B) the 20-year Limitation Date, the Modified Restructuring Maturity Limitation Date will be the Scheduled Maturity Date.

"Modified Eligible Transferee" means any bank, financial institution or other entity which is regularly engaged in or established for the purpose of making, purchasing or investing in loans, securities and other financial assets.

The following definitions shall apply in respect of the general terms relating to Restructuring Maturity Limitation Date and Modified Restructuring Maturity Limitation Date:

"Enabling Obligation" means an outstanding Deliverable Obligation that (i) is a Fully Transferable Obligation or a Conditionally Transferable Obligation, as applicable, and (ii) has a final maturity date occurring on or prior to the Scheduled Maturity Date and following the Limitation Date immediately preceding the Scheduled Maturity Date (or, in circumstances where the Scheduled Maturity Date occurs prior to the 2.5-year Limitation Date, following the final maturity date of the Latest Maturity Restructured Bond or Loan, if any).

"Limitation Date" means the first of March 20, June 20, September 20 or December 20 in any year to occur on or immediately following the date that is one of the following numbers of years after the Restructuring Date: 2.5 years (the "2.5-year Limitation Date"), 5 years (the "5-year Limitation Date"), 7.5 years, 10 years, 12.5 years, 15 years, or 20 years (the "20-year Limitation Date"), as applicable. Limitation Dates shall not be subject to adjustment in accordance with any Business Day Convention unless the Final Terms specify that Limitation Dates will be adjusted in accordance with a specified Business Day Convention.

"Restructured Bond or Loan" means an Obligation that is a Bond or Loan and in respect of which the relevant Restructuring has occurred.

"Restructuring Date" means the date on which a Restructuring is legally effective in accordance with the terms of the documentation governing such Restructuring.

The following definitions apply with respect to the Movement Option:

"Movement Option" means, upon the occurrence of a Restructuring Credit Event with respect to a Reference Entity in respect of which either "Restructuring Maturity Limitation and Fully Transferable Obligation" or "Modified Restructuring Maturity Limitation and Conditionally Transferable Obligation" is specified as applicable, and with respect to which a No Auction Announcement Date has occurred pursuant to paragraph (b) of the definition of No Auction Announcement Date, the option of the Calculation Agent, acting in its sole discretion, by delivering to the Securities Agent an effective Notice to Exercise Movement Option on or prior to the Movement Option Cut-off Date, to apply, for purposes of settlement, the Parallel Auction Settlement Terms, if any, for purposes of which the Permissible Deliverable Obligations are more limited than the Deliverable Obligations which would otherwise be applicable (provided that if more than one such set of Parallel Auction Settlement Terms are published, the Parallel Auction Settlement Terms specifying the greatest number of such Permissible Deliverable Obligations shall apply). If the Calculation Agent does not deliver an effective Notice to Exercise Movement Option on or prior to the Movement Option Cut-off Date, the Restructuring Credit Event will be settled in accordance with the Fallback Settlement Method.

"Movement Option Cut-off Date" means the date that is four Relevant City Business Days following the relevant Exercise Cut-off Date.

"Notice to Exercise Movement Option" means, upon the occurrence of such Restructuring Credit Event with respect to a Reference Entity for which (a) either "Restructuring Maturity Limitation and Fully Transferable Obligation" or "Modified Restructuring Maturity Limitation and Conditionally Transferable Obligation" is specified as applicable and (b) the Fallback Settlement Method would otherwise be applicable because a No Auction Announcement Date has occurred (and, in circumstances where such No Auction Announcement Date occurs pursuant to paragraph (b) of the definition of No Auction Announcement Date, the Calculation Agent has not exercised the Movement Option), an irrevocable notice from the Calculation Agent to the Securities Agent that (i) specifies the Parallel Auction Settlement Terms applicable with respect to such Restructuring Credit Event in accordance with the definition of Movement Option and (ii) is effective on or prior to the Movement Option Cut-off Date.

"Permissible Deliverable Obligations" has the meaning set forth in the relevant Credit Derivatives Auction Settlement Terms, being either all or the portion of the Deliverable Obligations included on the Final List pursuant to the Deliverable Obligation Terms that are applicable to that Auction.

In respect of a Reference Entity for which either "Restructuring Maturity Limitation and Fully Transferable Obligation" or "Modified Restructuring Maturity Limitation and Conditionally Transferable Obligation" is specified as applicable (determined in accordance with the Physical Settlement Matrix), a Credit Event Trigger may occur with respect to one or more Restructuring Credit Events on one or more occasions (such multiple occurrences, "Multiple Exercise"). If a Restructuring Credit Event occurs that is not a Mod/ModMod R Restructuring, a Credit Event Trigger will occur only once and the provisions with respect to Multiple Exercise below will not apply.

If a Mod/ModMod R Restructuring occurs, the following provisions will apply:

(a) If the first Credit Event Trigger with respect to the Securities is not with respect to a Mod/ModMod R Restructuring, no further Credit Event Trigger may occur.

(b) If (i) the first Credit Event Trigger with respect to the Securities is a Mod/ModMod R Restructuring and (ii) the Exercise Amount is less than the outstanding principal amount of the Securities immediately prior to the relevant Credit Event Trigger, additional Credit Event Triggers may occur as set forth below under "Exercise Amount".

If a Credit Event Trigger occurs and Mod/ModMod R Restructuring is the only Credit Event specified in the Credit Event Notice, "Exercise Amount" shall mean the amount determined by the Calculation Agent, in its sole discretion, with respect to all the Securities then outstanding, and:

(1) if on any day an Exercise Amount is less than the then outstanding principal amount of the Securities, the rights and obligations of the parties shall, with effect from the date such Credit Event Notice is effective, be construed as if each Note held by each Noteholder was divided into two classes of Securities, one of which represents a pro rata share of an outstanding principal amount equal to the Exercise Amount and will be settled pursuant to the Settlement Method and the other of which represents a pro rata share of an outstanding principal amount equal to the principal amount outstanding prior to such Credit Event Notice minus the Exercise Amount and will continue in effect with such modifications required as the Calculation Agent determines in its sole discretion to preserve the economic effects of the two classes of Securities considered in the aggregate;

(2) the Exercise Amount in connection with a Credit Event Trigger with respect to a Credit Event other than a Mod/ModMod R Restructuring must be equal to the then outstanding principal amount of the Securities (and not a portion thereof); and

(3) the Exercise Amount in connection with a Credit Event Notice describing a Mod/ModMod R Restructuring must be an aggregate principal amount that is at least U.S.$1,000,000, or an integral multiple thereof, or the entire then outstanding principal amount of the Securities.

The aggregate of all Exercise Amounts with respect to the Securities over time will not exceed the outstanding principal amount of the Securities.

The Calculation Agent will give reasonable notice of any Exercise Amounts to the SecuritiesAgent, provided that the failure to provide such notice will not preclude a partial exercise as otherwise provided for in this section.

IX. MERGER BETWEEN REFERENCE ENTITY AND ISSUER OR GUARANTOR

Notwithstanding any other provision herein, in the event that a Succession Event occurs with respect to a Reference Entity (the "Affected Reference Entity"), and the Issuer (or Guarantor, as the case may be) is the sole Successor to that Reference Entity, then:

(a) the Issuer (or Guarantor, as the case may be) will not be treated as a Successor nor will it be deemed to be a Reference Entity;

(b) the Calculation Agent will select a new entity (the "Replacement Successor") that is incorporated in the United States of America or within Europe organized within a jurisdiction within the Transaction Type which would be applicable to the Issuer (or Guarantor, as the case may be)  and is of a similar or better credit quality than the Issuer (or Guarantor, as the case may be), as measured by S&P and by Moody's credit ratings at the Succession Date;

(c) the Replacement Successor will be deemed to:

(i) replace the Issuer (or Guarantor, as the case may be) as a Successor to the Affected Reference Entity; and

(ii) be a Reference Entity for the purposes of the Securities;

(d) the Replacement Successor determined in accordance with the foregoing will be deemed to be a Reference Entity on and with effect from the Succession Date and the provisions relating to Credit Events will apply with respect to a Credit Event occurring in relation to that entity on or after that Succession Date; and

(e) the Calculation Agent, will notify the PayingSecurities Agent of the Replacement Successor as soon as reasonably practicable following the determination of the same (the date of such notification will be referred to as the "Notification Date").

The Paying Agent will send notice to the Noteholders in accordance with General Condition 26.

X. TERMS RELATING TO THE DETERMINATION OF SUCCESSORS

In addition to the provisions set out in "Merger between Reference Entity and Issuer" above, a Reference Entity may be subject to a Succession Event.

If a Reference Entity (the "Original Reference Entity") is subject to a Succession Event and as a result of that Succession Event there would be one or more Successors, the Calculation Agent will notify the PayingSecuritiesAgent of the applicable Successor(s) as soon as reasonably practicable after such Succession Event (the date such notification is effective, the "Notification Date"); provided that the Calculation Agent will not send such notice if, at such time, either (a) ISDA has publicly announced that the conditions to convening a Credit Derivatives Determinations Committee to Resolve the matters described in the definition of Successor, and in clause (a) and clause (b)(iA) of the definition of Succession Event Resolution Request Date are satisfied in accordance with the Rules (until such time, if any, as ISDA subsequently publicly announces that the relevant Credit Derivatives Determinations Committee has Resolved which entity or entities are determined to be the Successor(s) or has Resolved not to determine a Successor) or (b) ISDA has publicly announced that the relevant Credit Derivatives Determinations Committee has Resolved that no event that constitutes a Succession Event has occurred. Neither the Issuer nor the Calculation Agent will be liable for failure by the PayingSecuritiesAgent or the clearing system to provide notice to the Noteholder of the occurrence of a Succession Event and the identity of the Successor(s). For the avoidance of doubt, the Original Reference Entity will be eligible for selection to be a Reference Entity of one of the New Securities if it is one of the Successors.

Each Successor determined in accordance with the foregoing will be deemed to be a Reference Entity on and with effect from the Succession Date and the provisions relating to Credit Events will apply with respect to a Credit Event occurring in relation to such entity or entities on or after that Succession Date.

In making any selections pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Calculation Agent, will act in its sole and absolute discretion. The Calculation Agent will be entitled to act in the economic interest of either the Issuer or the Noteholder without further consultation or consents being required. Upon the occurrence of a Succession Event, the Calculation Agent will promptly deliver a Succession Event Notice to the Paying Agent.

"Succession Event" means (a) with respect to a Reference Entity that is not a Sovereign, an event such as a merger, consolidation, amalgamation, transfer of assets or liabilities, demerger, spin-off or other similar event in which one entity succeeds to the obligations of another entity, whether by operation of law or pursuant to any agreement or (b) with respect to a Reference Entity that is a Sovereign, an event such as an annexation, unification, secession, partition, dissolution, consolidation, reconstitution or other event that results in any direct or indirect successor(s) to such Reference Entity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, "Succession Event" shall not include an event (i) in which the holders of obligations of a Reference Entity exchange such obligations for the obligations of another entity, unless such exchange occurs in connection with a merger, consolidation, amalgamation, transfer of assets or liabilities, demerger, spin off or other similar event or (ii) with respect to which the legally effective date (or, in the case of a Reference Entity that is a Sovereign, the date of occurrence) has occurred prior to the Succession Event Backstop Date applicable to the Securities (determined by reference to Greenwich Mean Time (or, if the Transaction Type of the relevant Reference Entity is Japan Corporate or Japan Sovereign (as such terms are defined in the 2005 Matrix Supplement), Tokyo time)).

A Credit Event Trigger may occur:

(1) on or after the Succession Date, in the case of a Successor irrespective of whether and when the Notification Date has occurred; and

(2) on or before the Succession Date, in the case of the Original Reference Entity.

"Succession Date" means the legally effective date of the Succession Event.

"Succession Event Backstop Date" means (a) for purposes of any DC Resolution of the relevant Credit Derivatives Determinations Committee with respect to whether or notevent that constitutesa Succession Event has occurredwith respect to a Reference Entity as determined by DC Resolution, the date that is 90 calendar days prior to the Succession Event Resolution Request Date (determined by reference to Greenwich Mean Time (or, if the Transaction Type of the relevant Reference Entity is Japan Corporate or Japan Sovereign (as such terms are defined in the 2005 Matrix Supplement), Tokyo time)) or (b) otherwise, the date that is 90 calendar days prior to the earlier of (i) the date on which the Succession Event Notice is effective and (ii) in circumstances where (A) the conditions to convening a Credit Derivatives Determinations Committee to Resolve the matters described clauses (a) and (b) of the definition of CreditSuccession Event Resolution Request Date are satisfied in accordance with the Rules, (B) the relevant Credit Derivatives Determinations Committee has Resolved not to determine such matters and (C) the Succession Event Notice is delivered by the Calculation Agent to the PayingSecurities Agent not more than fourteen calendar days after the day on which ISDA publicly announces that the relevant Credit Derivatives Determinations Committee has Resolved not to determine such matters, the Succession Event Resolution Request Date. The Succession Event Backstop Date shall not be subject to adjustment in accordance with any Business Day Convention.

"Succession Event Resolution Request Date" means, with respect to a notice to ISDA, delivered in accordance with the Rules, requesting that a Credit Derivatives Determinations Committee be convened to Resolve:

(a) whether an event that constitutes a Succession Event for purposes of the Securities has occurred with respect to the relevant Reference Entity; and

(b) if the relevant Credit Derivatives Determinations Committee Resolves that such event has occurred, (A) with respect to a Reference Entity that is not a Sovereign, the legally effective date of such event or (B) with respect to a Reference Entity that is a Sovereign, the date of the occurrence of such event,

the date, as publicly announced by ISDA, that the relevant Credit Derivatives Determinations Committee Resolves to be the date on which such notice is effective.

"Succession Event Notice" means an irrevocable notice from the Calculation Agent (which may be in writing (including by facsimile and/or email) and/or by telephone) to the PayingSecurities Agent that describes a Succession Event that occurred on or after the Succession Event Backstop Date applicable to the Securities (determined by reference to Greenwich Mean Time (or, if the Transaction Type of the relevant Reference Entity is Japan Corporate or Japan Sovereign (as such terms are defined in the 2005 Matrix Supplement), Tokyo time)), provided that a Succession Event Notice will be deemed to be delivered to the Securities Agent and each Noteholder if ISDA publicly announces on or following the Trade Date that the relevant Credit Derivatives Determinations Committee has identified by DC Resolution, in respect of a Succession Event Resolution Request Date, one or more Successors in respect of a Reference Entity.

A Succession Event Notice must contain a description in reasonable detail of the facts relevant to the determination, of (i) whether a Succession Event has occurred and (ii) if relevant, the identity of any Successor(s).

"Successor" means in relation to a Reference Entity, each entity in respect of which: (a) in accordance with the definition of "Successor", the Calculation Agent determines to be a Successor to such Reference Entity for the purposes of the Securities and in respect of which it notifies the PayingSecurities Agent; or (b) ISDA publicly announces on or following the Trade Date that the relevant Credit Derivatives Determinations Committee has Resolved, in respect of a Succession Event Resolution Request Date, to be a "Successor" in respect of such Reference Entity.

For the purposes of any DC Resolution by a Credit Derivatives Determinations Committee or determination by the Calculation Agent, as the case may be, in respect of a Succession Event, a Successor will be, in relation to a Reference Entity:

(a) that is not a Sovereign, the entity or entities, if any, determined as set forth below:

(i) if one entity directly or indirectly succeeds to seventy-five per cent or more of the Relevant Obligations of a Reference Entity by way of a Succession Event, that entity will be the sole Successor;

(ii) if only one entity directly or indirectly succeeds to more than twenty-five per cent. (but less than seventy-five per cent.) of the Relevant Obligations of a Reference Entity by way of a Succession Event, and not more than twenty-five per cent. of the Relevant Obligations of a Reference Entity remain with a Reference Entity, the entity that succeeds to more than twenty-five per cent. of the Relevant Obligations will be the sole Successor;

(iii) if more than one entity each directly or indirectly succeeds to more than twenty-five per cent of the Relevant Obligations of a Reference Entity by way of a Succession Event, and not more than twenty-five per cent. of the Relevant Obligations of a Reference Entity remain with a Reference Entity, the entities that succeed to more than twenty-five per cent. of the Relevant Obligations will each be a Successor;

(iv) if one or more entities each directly or indirectly succeeds to more than twenty-five per cent. of the Relevant Obligations of a Reference Entity by way of a Succession Event, and more than twenty-five per cent. of the Relevant Obligations of a Reference Entity remain with a Reference Entity, each such entity and a Reference Entity will each be a Successor;

(v) if one or more entities directly or indirectly succeed to a portion of the Relevant Obligations of a Reference Entity by way of a Succession Event, but no entity succeeds to more than twenty-five per cent. of the Relevant Obligations of a Reference Entity and a Reference Entity continues to exist, there will be no Successor and a Reference Entity will not be changed in any way as a result of the Succession Event; and

(vi) if one or more entities directly or indirectly succeed to a portion of the Relevant Obligations of a Reference Entity by way of a Succession Event, but no entity succeeds to more than twenty-five per cent. of the Relevant Obligations of a Reference Entity and a Reference Entity ceases to exist, the entity which succeeds to the greatest percentage of Relevant Obligations (or, if two or more entities succeed to an equal percentage of Relevant Obligations, the entity from among those entities which succeeds to the greatest percentage of obligations of a Reference Entity) will be the sole Successor; and

(b) that is a Sovereign Reference Entity, each entity which becomes a direct or indirect successor to such Reference Entity by way of Succession Event, irrespective of whether any such successor assumes any of the obligations of such Reference Entity.

Where, pursuant to paragraph (a)(iii) or (iv) above, more than one Successor has been identified, the rights and obligations of the Issuer and any holder of the Securities shall be construed as if the Issuer had issued to such holder the same number of new Securities (the "New Securities") in exchange for each Note existing prior to such Succession Event as there are Successors, with the following terms:

(a) each Successor will be the sole Reference Entity for the purposes of the applicable New Securities;

(b) in respect of each New NoteSecurity, the outstanding principal amount will be the outstanding principal amount of the original NoteSecurity divided by the number of Successors;

(c) all other terms and conditions of the original Note will be replicated in each New NoteSecurity except to the extent that modification is required, as determined by the Calculation Agent in its sole and absolute discretion, to preserve the economic effects of the original Note in the New Securities (considered in the aggregate); and

(d) no party will be required to issue or take other steps to evidence the New Securities.

XI. CREDIT-LINKED INTEREST PROVISIONS

Unless otherwise specified in the term sheet, the following provisions will apply to Securities in which the holder is a seller of protection.

(a) Interest will accrue on the Securities for each period from (and including) one Interest Payment Date to (but excluding) the following Interest Payment Date (each, an "Interest Period"), except that: (i) the initial Interest Period will commence on and include the Issue Date; and (ii) the final Interest Period will end on, and exclude, the earliest to occur of: (A) the Scheduled Maturity Date; (B) the Interest Payment Date immediately preceding the final Event Determination Date; (C) the Optional Redemption Date, if any, (D) if a Potential Failure to PayCredit Event occurs and subsequently results in a Failure to PayCredit Event Trigger, the Interest Payment Date immediately preceding the date that the Potential Failure to Pay occurs; and (E) if a Potential Repudiation/Moratorium occurs and subsequently results in a Repudiation/Moratorium, the Interest Payment Date immediately preceding the date that the Potential Repudiation/MoratoriumCredit Event occurs.

(b) If the Calculation Agent determines, in its sole discretion, that a Potential Credit Event exists on or prior to the Scheduled Credit Observation End Date, the accrual of Interest will be suspended starting from and including the Interest Payment Date immediately preceding the date on which such Potential Credit Event, as the case may be, occurred. If a Credit Event subsequently occurs, no further Interest will accrue to you beyond the Interest Payment Date immediately preceding the date on which such Potential Credit Event occurred.

(c) If the Potential Credit Event is cured or otherwise determined not to be a Credit Event, the suspended Interest will be paid on: (i) if the Potential Credit Event is cured or otherwise determined not to be a Credit Event prior to the Scheduled Maturity Date, the earlier of the fifth Business Day following such cure or determination or the following Interest Payment Date; or (ii) if the Potential Credit Event is cured or otherwise determined not to be a Credit Event on or after the Scheduled Maturity Date, the fifth Business Day following the date of cure or as soon thereafter as practicable, but no further amounts will be payable in respect of the delay in payment. The suspended Interest will be determined by the Calculation Agent based on the applicable Interest Rate.

(d) No interest will accrue after the Scheduled Maturity Date even if the repayment of the Securities occurs after the Scheduled Maturity Date due to a Potential Credit Event.

XII. INTERPRETATION OF PROVISIONS

The following provisions shall apply with respect to certain determinations made by the Calculation Agent:

(a) If the Obligation Characteristic "Listed" is specified as being applicable with respect to a Reference Entity, the Securities shall be construed as though Listed had been specified as an Obligation Characteristic only with respect to Bonds and shall only be relevant if Bonds are covered by the selected Obligation Category;

(d) In the event that an Obligation or Deliverable Obligation is a Qualifying Guarantee, the following will apply:

(i) For the purposes of the application of "Obligation Category" and "Deliverable Obligation Category", the Qualifying Guarantee shall be deemed to satisfy the same category or categories as those that describe the Underlying Obligation;

(viiv) For the purposes of the application of the Obligation Characteristics or the Deliverable Obligation Characteristics to an Underlying Obligation, references to a Reference Entity shall be deemed to refer to the Underlying Obligor; and

(viiv) The terms "outstanding principal balance" and "Due and Payable Amount" when used in connection with Qualifying Guarantees are to be interpreted to be the then "outstanding principal balance" or "Due and Payable Amount", as applicable, of the Underlying Obligation which is supported by a Qualifying Guarantee.

XIII. ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS FOR LPN REFERENCE ENTITIES

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Credit Annex, the following provisions shall apply with respect to a Reference Entity if either: (a) "Additional Provisions for LPN Reference Entities (October 3, 2006)" is specified as "aaplicable" in the Physical Settlement Matrix in the column applicable to the relevant Transaction Type; or (b) these provisions are otherwise specified as being applicable to such Reference Entity in the Final Terms.

(a) provisions relating to Multiple Holder Obligation will be deemed not to apply with respect to any Reference Obligation (and any Underlying Loan);

(b) each Reference Obligation will be an Obligation, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Credit Annex including, but not limited to, the definition of "Obligation", and in particular, notwithstanding that the obligation is not an obligation of the Reference Entity;

(c) each Reference Obligation will be a Deliverable Obligation notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Credit Annex including, but not limited to, the definition of "Deliverable Obligation" and in particular, notwithstanding that the obligation is not an obligation of the Reference Entity.

For the avoidance of doubt with respect to any LPN Reference Obligation that specifies an Underlying Loan or an Underlying Finance Instrument, the outstanding principal balance shall be determined by reference to the Underlying Loan or Underlying Finance Instrument (as applicable) relating to such LPN Reference Obligation.

The Not Subordinated Obligation Characteristic and Deliverable Obligation Characteristic shall be construed as if no Reference Obligation was specified in respect of the Reference Entity;

(d) the definition of Reference Obligation shall be deleted and the following substituted therefor:

""Reference Obligation" means, as of the Issue Date, each of the obligations listed as a Reference Obligation of the Reference Entity in the Final Terms or set forth on the relevant LPN Reference Obligations List (each a "Markit Published LPN Reference Obligation"), as published by Markit Group Limited, or any successor thereto, which list is as of the Issue Date available at http://www.markit.com/marketing/services.php, any Additional LPN and each Additional Obligation."; and

(e) the following additional definitions shall apply:

"Additional LPN" means any bond issued in the form of a loan participation note (a "LPN") by an entity (the "LPN Issuer") for the sole purpose of providing funds for the LPN Issuer to: (i) finance a loan to the Reference Entity (the "Underlying Loan") or (ii) provide finance to the Reference Entity by way of a deposit, loan or other Borrowed Money instrument (the "Underlying Finance Instrument"); provided that: (A) either (x) in the event that there is an Underlying Loan with respect to such LPN the Underlying Loan satisfies the Obligation Characteristics specified in respect of the Reference Entity or (y) in the event that there is an Underlying Finance Instrument with respect to such LPN the Underlying Finance Instrument satisfies the Not Subordinated, Not Domestic Law and Not Domestic Currency Obligation Characteristics; (B) the LPN satisfies the following Deliverable Obligation Characteristics: Transferable, Not Bearer, Specified Currency - Standard Specified Currencies, Not Domestic Law, Not Domestic Issuance; and (C) the LPN Issuer has, as of the issue date of such obligation, granted a First Ranking Interest over or in respect of certain of its rights in relation to the relevant Underlying Loan or Underlying Finance Instrument (as applicable) for the benefit of the holders of the LPNs.

"First Ranking Interest" means a charge, security interest (or other type of interest having similar effect) (for the purposes of this definition, an "Interest"), which is expressed as being "first ranking", "first priority", or similar ("First Ranking") in the document creating such Interest (notwithstanding that such Interest may not be First Ranking under any insolvency laws of any related insolvency jurisdiction of the LPN Issuer).

 

"LPN Reference Obligation" means each Reference Obligation other than any Additional Obligation.

 

For the avoidance of doubt, any change to the issuer of an LPN Reference Obligation in accordance with its terms shall not prevent such LPN Reference Obligation constituting a Reference Obligation.

ANNEX C

CREDIT DERIVATIVES DETERMINATIONS COMMITTEES

In making certain determinations with respect to the Notes, the Calculation Agent shall be obliged to follow the DC Resolutions of the Credit Derivatives Determinations Committees. This Annex sets forth a summary of the Credit Derivatives Determinations Committees Rules set forth in Annex A to the 2009 ISDA Credit Derivatives Determinations Committees and Auction Settlement Supplement to the 2003 ISDA Credit Derivatives Definitions (published on12 March 2009), as published by ISDA on its website at www.isda.org (or any successor website thereto) from time to time and as amended from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof(the "Rules"), as they exist as of the date of these Final Terms. This summary is not intended to be exhaustive and prospective investors should also read the Rules, and reach their own views prior to making any investment decisions. A copy of the Rules published by ISDA as of 12 March18 December 2009 may be inspected at the offices of the Issuer and is available at:

 

http://www.jpmorgan.com/directdoc/credit_derivatives_derminationderiv_derminations_committees_rules_412_818_09.pdf.

 

Capitalized terms used but not defined in this summary have the meaning specified in these Final Terms or the Rules, as applicable.

 

Establishment of the Credit Derivatives Determinations Committees

 

In accordance with the Rules, a Credit Derivatives Determinations Committee has been formed for each of the regions of (a) the Americas, (b) Asia Ex-Japan, (c) Australia-New Zealand, (d) Europe, Middle East and Africa and (e) Japan. As of the Issue Date, the Calculation Agent (or one of its Affiliates) is a voting member on each of the Credit Derivatives Determinations Committees. See "Potential conflicts of interest due to the involvement of the Calculation Agent with the Credit Derivatives Determinations Committees" in the section of the Prospectus entitled "Risk Factors" for additional information regarding conflicts of interest. The Credit Derivatives Determinations Committees will act in accordance with the Rules and will make determinations that are relevant for Credit Derivative Transactions that incorporate, or are deemed to incorporate, the 2009 ISDA Credit Derivatives Determinations Committees and, Auction Settlement and RestructuringSupplement to the 2003 ISDA Credit Derivatives Definitions (published on 12 March14 July 2009) as published by ISDA (the "MarchJuly 2009 Supplement"). ISDA will serve as the secretary of each Credit Derivatives Determinations Committee and will perform administrative duties and make certain determinations as provided for under the Rules.

 

Decision-making Process of the Credit Derivatives Determinations Committees

 

Each DC Resolution by a Credit Derivatives Determinations Committee will apply to Credit Derivative Transactions that incorporate, or are deemed to incorporate, the MarchJuly 2009 Supplement and for which the relevant provisions are not materially inconsistent with the provisions with respect to which the Credit Derivatives Determinations Committee bases its determination. As a result, except for pursuant to the terms of the Notes, determinations by the Credit Derivatives Determinations Committees are not otherwise applicable to the Noteholders. Furthermore, the institutions on the Credit Derivatives Determinations Committees owe no duty to the Noteholders. Under the terms of the Notes, certain determinations by the Credit Derivatives Determinations Committees will be binding on the Noteholders. However, such determinations shall be limited to those expressly set forth in these Final Terms and theThe Credit Derivatives Determinations Committees shall have no ability to amend the terms of the Notes. The Credit Derivatives Determinations Committees will be able to make determinations without action or knowledge by the Noteholders.

 

A Credit Derivatives Determinations Committee will be convened upon referral of (i) a question to ISDA by an identified eligible market participant and the agreement of at least one of the voting members of the relevant Credit Derivatives Determinations Committee to deliberate the question, or (ii) a question to ISDA by an unidentified eligible market participant and the agreement of at least two of the voting members of the relevant Credit Derivatives Determinations Committee to deliberate the question. ISDA will convene the Credit Derivatives Determinations Committee for the region to which the referred question relates, as determined in accordance with the Rules. Any party to a transaction that incorporates, or is deemed to incorporate, the MarchJuly 2009 Supplement may refer a question to ISDA for a Credit Derivatives Determinations Committee to consider. Therefore, a binding determination may be made with respect to the Notes without any action by the Noteholders. See "Noteholders will not be able to refer questions to the Credit Derivatives Determinations Committees in their capacity as holders of the Notes" in the section of the Prospectus entitled "Risk Factors" for additional information regarding the lack of Noteholder involvement in determinations made by the Credit Derivatives Determinations Committees.

 

Once a question is referred to a Credit Derivatives Determinations Committee, a DC Resolution may result quickly, as a binding vote usually must occur within two business days of the first meeting held with respect to such question unless the timeframe is extended by agreement of at least 80% of the voting members participating in a vote held in accordance with the Rules. In addition, voting members of the Credit Derivatives Determinations Committees are required to participate in each binding vote, subject only to limited abstention rights. Notices of questions referred to the Credit Derivatives Determinations Committees, meetings held to deliberate such questions and the results of binding votes will be published on the ISDA website and neither the Issuer, the Calculation Agent nor any of their respective Affiliates shall be obliged to inform the Noteholders of such information (other than as expressly provided in these Final Terms). Noteholders shall therefore be responsible for obtaining such information. . See "Noteholders shall be responsible for obtaining information relating to deliberations of the Credit Derivatives Determinations Committees" in the section of the Prospectus entitled "Risk Factors" for additional information.

 

The Credit Derivatives Determinations Committees have the ability to make determinations that may materially affect the Noteholders. The Credit Derivatives Determinations Committees will be able to make a broad range of determinations in accordance with the Rules that may be relevant to the Notes and materially affect the Noteholders. For each of the general types of questions discussed below, the Credit Derivatives Determinations Committees may determine component questions that arise under the 2003 ISDA Credit Derivatives Definitions, as supplemented by the MarchJuly 2009 Supplement (the "Credit Derivatives Definitions"), or the Rules and that are related to the initial question referred. Since the terms governing the credit-linked elements of the Notes are substantially similar to the Credit Derivatives Definitions, such determinations may affect the Noteholders, as further described below.

 

Credit Events

 

The Credit Derivatives Determinations Committees will be able to determine whether a Credit Event has occurred and the date of such Credit Event. Related questions that are also within the scope of the Credit Derivatives Determinations Committees are whether the Repudiation/Moratorium Extension Condition is satisfied or whether a Potential Failure to Pay or a Potential Repudiation/Moratorium has occurred. In addition, the Credit Derivatives Determinations Committees will also determine, where necessary, whether the required Publicly Available Information has been provided. Each of these determinations, other than whether the required Publicly Available Information has been provided, requires the agreement of at least 80% of the voting members participating in a binding vote held in accordance with the Rules in order to avoid the referral of the question to the external review process, as described further below. The determination of whether the required Publicly Available Information has been provided requires the agreement of at least a majority of the voting members participating in a binding vote held in accordance with the Rules and is not eligible for external review. Each of these determinations may affect whether the Calculation Agent is entitled to deliver a Credit Event Notice and therefore whether a Credit Event Trigger will occur under the Notes. To the extent that the Credit Derivatives Determinations Committee Resolves that a Credit Event has occurred with respect to a Reference Entity on or after the Credit Event Backstop Date, the Calculation Agent shall deliver a Credit Event Notice in respect of the Notes. Notwithstanding the scope of the Credit Derivatives Determinations Committees, the Calculation Agent may still declare a Credit Event and deliver a Credit Event Notice even if a Credit Derivatives Determinations Committee has not Resolved that a Credit Event has occurred, provided that a Credit Derivatives Determinations Committee has not Resolved that a Credit Event has not occurred.

 

Auctions

 

Once a Credit Derivatives Determinations Committee has Resolved that a Credit Event has occurred, such Credit Derivatives Determinations Committee may determine to hold one or more auctions in order to settle affected transactions as long as the Credit Event is not a Restructuring. Such determination requires the agreement of at least a majority of the voting members participating in a binding vote held in accordance with the Rules and is not eligible for external review. For each auction that is held, the Credit Derivatives Determinations Committee will publish a set of Credit Derivatives Auction Settlement Terms, a form of which is set forth in Annex B to the March 2009 Supplement (for further information about the Credit Derivatives Auction Settlement Terms, see "Auction Settlement Terms" at Annex D to these Final Terms). In order to publish the set of Credit Derivatives Auction Settlement Terms, the Credit Derivatives Determinations Committee will make several related determinations, including the auction date, whether certain institutions can act as a Participating Bidder in the auction and the supplemental terms that are detailed in Schedule 1 to the form of Credit Derivatives Auction Settlement Terms set forth in Annex B to the March 2009 Supplementas published by ISDA on its website at www.isda.org (or any successor website thereto) from time to time and as amended from time to time. Each of these determinations requires the agreement of at least a majority of the voting dealer members participating in a binding vote held in accordance with the Rules and is not eligible for external review. The Credit Derivatives Determinations Committee may also decide to further amend the form of Credit Derivatives Auction Settlement Terms for a particular auction and may decide whether a public comment period is necessary in order to effect such an amendment. Any such amendment to the form of Credit Derivatives Auction Settlement Terms for a particular auction will require the agreement of at least 80% of the voting members participating in a binding vote held in accordance with the Rules and is not eligible for external review. Since, following a Credit Event Trigger, the Final Redemption Amount of the Notes will be calculated based upon the Auction Final Price determined for the Reference Entity, any decision as to whether an auction will be held and as to the terms of such an auction may influence the ultimate recovery of the Noteholders under the Notes.

 

If a Credit Derivatives Determinations Committee Resolves to hold an auction to settle affected transactions, the auction date will be the third business day immediately preceding the 30th calendar day after the relevant Credit Event Resolution Request Date, unless at least a majority of the voting dealer members participating in a binding vote held in accordance with the Rules decide otherwise. The process for compiling the list of Deliverable Obligations, described further below, is designed to be completed in ten calendar days, subject to extensions for relevant deadlines falling on non-business days, delays resulting from questions being referred to external review and modifications to the timeline by at least 80% of the voting members participating in a binding vote held in accordance with the Rules. Under the Notes, the Settlement Date will be the third Business Day following the Auction Settlement Date (as defined in the relevant set of Credit Derivatives Auction Settlement Terms).

 

Deliverable Obligations

 

Following a DC Resolution to publish a set of Credit Derivatives Auction Settlement Terms, the Credit Derivatives Determinations Committee will determine the Deliverable Obligations for such set of Credit Derivatives Auction Settlement Terms in accordance with the procedures detailed in the Rules. The Credit Derivatives Determinations Committee will first determine the terms that will apply to such set of Credit Derivatives Auction Settlement Terms for purposes of determining Deliverable Obligations and then will compile an initial list of potential Deliverable Obligations. The initial set of terms to apply to a specific set of Credit Derivatives Auction Settlement Terms and the inclusion of potential Deliverable Obligations on an initial list require the agreement of at least a majority of the voting members participating in a binding vote held in accordance with the Rules and are not eligible for external review. Any party to a transaction that incorporates, or is deemed to incorporate, the MarchJuly 2009 Supplement may propose additional Deliverable Obligations to be considered or challenge the potential Deliverable Obligations included on the list compiled by the Credit Derivatives Determinations Committee. For each proposed or challenged potential Deliverable Obligation, the Credit Derivatives Determinations Committee will decide whether such potential Deliverable Obligation is a Deliverable Obligation for purposes of the relevant set of Credit Derivatives Auction Settlement Terms, a determination that requires the agreement of at least 80% of the voting members participating in a binding vote held in accordance with the Rules in order to avoid the referral of the question to the external review process, as described further below. Such parties will be required to bear the related costs if their proposed Deliverable Obligation is Resolved not to be a Deliverable Obligation or if their challenge is ultimately unsuccessful. The Deliverable Obligations that are included in any auction may affect the Auction Final Price determined by such auction and hence the ultimate recovery of the Noteholders under the Notes.

 

Succession Events

 

The Credit Derivatives Determinations Committees will be able to determine whether a Succession Event has occurred and the relevant date of such Succession Event. In addition, the Credit Derivatives Determinations Committees will also determine the identity of the Successor(s) in accordance with the Rules. For a Reference Entity that is not a Sovereign, the Credit Derivatives Determinations Committees will determine the Relevant Obligation(s) of the Reference Entity, the outstanding principal balance of any Relevant Obligation(s) and the proportion of the Relevant Obligation(s) to which each purported Successor succeeds in order to determine the identity of the Successor(s). Each of these determinations requires the agreement of at least 80% of the voting members participating in a binding vote held in accordance with the Rules in order to avoid the referral of the question to the external review process, as described further below, except for the actual identification of the Successor(s) for a Reference Entity that is not a Sovereign (which only requires a majority and is not eligible for external review). The Calculation Agent will use the relevant DC Resolutions of the Credit Derivatives Determinations Committees in order to determine a potential Successor(s) to the Reference Entity (although Noteholders should be aware that in cases where more than one Successor is identified for the Reference Entity, the Calculation Agent will ultimately determine in its sole and absolute discretion which Successor shall be selected for the purposes of the Notes).

 

Other Questions

 

The Credit Derivatives Determinations Committees will be able to determine whether circumstances have occurred that require a Substitute Reference Obligation to be identified and, if so, the appropriate Substitute Reference Obligation. In addition, the Credit Derivatives Determinations Committees will be able to determine whether an entity that acts as seller of protection under one or more transactions (such entity, the "Relevant Seller") or a Reference Entity has consolidated or amalgamated with, or merged into, or transferred all or substantially all its assets to, the Reference Entity or the Relevant Seller, as applicable, or that the Relevant Seller and the Affected Reference Entity have become Affiliates. Each of these determinations requires the agreement of at least 80% of the voting members participating in a binding vote held in accordance with the Rules in order to avoid the referral of the question to the external review process, as described further below. The Calculation Agent may follow such DC Resolutions in making the equivalent determinations with respect to the Notes.

 

The Credit Derivatives Determinations Committees will be able to determine other referred questions that are relevant to the credit derivatives market as a whole and are not merely a matter of bilateral dispute. Such questions require the agreement of at least 80% of the voting members participating in a binding vote held in accordance with the Rules for each Credit Derivatives Determinations Committee implicated by the relevant question, as determined in accordance with the Rules, in order to avoid the possible referral of the question to the external review process, as described further below. In cases where the required voting threshold is not satisfied, the question will be referred to the external review process if at least a majority of the voting members participating in a binding vote held in accordance with the Rules agree. Any guidance given by the Credit Derivatives Determinations Committees with respect to questions of interpretation of the Credit Derivatives Definitions are likely to influence the Calculation Agent in interpreting equivalent provisions under the Notes.

 

Any of the above questions can be submitted to the Credit Derivatives Determinations Committees by an unidentified eligible market participant for deliberation. The relevant Credit Derivatives Determinations Committee(s) will deliberate such question upon the agreement of at least two of the voting members of the relevant Credit Derivatives Determinations Committee to deliberate the question. Once the deliberations on such question have commenced, the relevant Credit Derivatives Determinations Committee will proceed in accordance with the procedures described above with respect to the relevant question category, except that the identity of the eligible market participant who submitted the question will not be revealed to the members of the Credit Derivatives Determinations Committees or the general public.

 

External Review

 

As described immediately above, certain questions deliberated by the Credit Derivatives Determinations Committees are subject to an external review process if the required threshold is not met during the binding vote held with respect to such question. For such questions, if at least 80% of the voting members participating in a binding vote held in accordance with the Rules fail to agree, the question will be automatically referred to the external review process. Questions that are not eligible for external review often require only a simple majority of participating voting members to agree in order to reach a DC Resolution.

 

Questions referred to external review will be considered by a panel of three independent individuals who will be selected by either the relevant Credit Derivatives Determinations Committee or by ISDA at random. The default duration of the external review process (which can be modified by the relevant Credit Derivatives Determinations Committee in accordance with the Rules) is tentwelve business days from the referral of the question and contemplates the receipt of both written submissions and oral argument. Any member of ISDA may provide written submissions to the external reviewers, which will be made available to the public on the ISDA website, and the conclusion reached in accordance with the external review process will be binding on the Noteholders. In instances where the vote of the relevant Credit Derivatives Determinations Committee was less than or equal to 60%, the decision of a majority of the external reviewers will be determinative. However, in instances where the vote of the relevant Credit Derivatives Determinations Committee was between 60% and 80%, all three external reviewers must agree in order to overturn the vote of the Credit Derivatives Determinations Committee.

 

Noteholders should be aware that the external reviewers may not consider new information that was not available to the relevant Credit Derivatives Determinations Committee at the time of the binding vote and questions may be returned to the Credit Derivatives Determinations Committee for another vote if new information becomes available. In addition, if the external reviewers fail to arrive at a decision for any reason, the entire process will be repeated. As a result, the external review process may be elongated in certain situations, leaving questions that may materially affect the Noteholders unresolved for a period of time.

 

The Composition of the Credit Derivatives Determinations Committees

 

Each Credit Derivatives Determinations Committee is composed of fifteen voting members and three non-voting consultative members. Ten of the voting members are dealer institutions, with eight serving across all regions and two potentially varying by region. The other five voting members are non-dealer institutions that serve across all regions. The three non-voting consultative members consist of one dealer institution and one non-dealer institution that serve across all regions and one dealer institution that could potentially vary by region. For the first composition of the Credit Derivatives Determinations Committees only, an additional non-voting dealer institution has been selected to serve across all regions.

 

Noteholders will have no role in the composition of the Credit Derivatives Determinations Committees. Separate criteria applyapplies with respect to the selection of dealer and non-dealer institutions to serve on the Credit Derivatives Determinations Committees and the Noteholders will have no role in establishing such criteria. In addition, the composition of the Credit Derivatives Determinations Committees will change from time to time in accordance with the Rules, as the term of an institution may expire or an institution may be required to be replaced. The Noteholders will have no control over the process for selecting institutions to participate on the Credit Derivatives Determinations Committees and, to the extent provided for in the Notes, will be subject to the determinations made by such selected institutions in accordance with the Rules.

 

Ability of the Calculation Agent or its Affiliates to influence the Credit Derivatives Determinations Committees

 

As of the Issue Date, the Calculation Agent (or one of its Affiliates) is a voting member on each of the Credit Derivatives Determinations Committees. In such capacity, it may take certain actions that may influence the process and outcome of decisions of the Credit Derivatives Determinations Committees, including (without limitation): (a) agreeing to deliberate a question referred to ISDA, (b) voting on the resolution of any question being deliberated by a Credit Derivatives Determinations Committee and (c) advocating a certain position during the external review process. In addition, as a party to transactions which incorporate, or are deemed to incorporate, the MarchJuly 2009 Supplement, the Calculation Agent may refer a question to ISDA for a Credit Derivatives Determinations Committee to deliberate. In deciding whether to take any such action, the Calculation Agent (or its Affiliate) shall be under no obligation to consider the interests of any Noteholder. See "Potential conflicts of interest of the Calculation Agent" below for additional information.

 

Potential Conflicts of Interest of the Calculation Agent

 

Since, as of the Issue Date, the Calculation Agent (or one of its Affiliates) is a voting member on each of the Credit Derivatives Determinations Committees and is a party to transactions which incorporate, or are deemed to incorporate, the MarchJuly 2009 Supplement, it may take certain actions which may influence the process and outcome of decisions of the Credit Derivatives Determinations Committees. See "Ability of the Calculation Agent or its Affiliates to influence the Credit Derivatives Determinations Committees" above for additional information. Such action may be adverse to the interests of the Noteholders and may result in an economic benefit accruing to the Calculation Agent. In taking any action relating to the Credit Derivatives Determinations Committees or performing any duty under the Rules, the Calculation Agent shall have no obligation to consider the interests of the Noteholders and may ignore any conflict of interest arising due to its responsibilities under the Notes.

 

Noteholders will have no recourse against either the institutions serving on the Credit Derivatives Determinations Committees or the external reviewers. Institutions serving on the Credit Derivatives Determinations Committees and the external reviewers, among others, disclaim any duty of care or liability arising in connection with the performance of duties or the provision of advice under the Rules, except in the case of gross negligence, fraud or willfulwilful misconduct. Furthermore, the institutions on the Credit Derivatives Determinations Committees do not owe any duty to the Noteholders and the Noteholders will be prevented from pursuing claims with respect to actions taken by such institutions under the Rules.

 

Noteholders should also be aware that institutions serving on the Credit Derivatives Determinations Committees have no duty to research or verify the veracity of information on which a specific determination is based. In addition, the Credit Derivatives Determinations Committees are not obligated to follow previous determinations and, therefore, could reach a conflicting determination for a similar set of facts.

 

Noteholders shall be responsible for obtaining information relating to deliberations of the Credit Derivatives Determinations Committees. Notices of questions referred to the Credit Derivatives Determinations Committees, meetings held to deliberate such questions and the results of binding votes will be published on the ISDA website and neither the Issuer, the Calculation Agent nor any of their respective Affiliates shall be obliged to inform the Noteholders of such information (other than as expressly provided in these Final Terms). Failure by the Noteholders to be aware of information relating to deliberations of a Credit Derivatives Determinations Committee will have no effect under the Final Terms and Noteholders are solely responsible for obtaining any such information.

 

Amendments to the Rules

 

The Rules may be amended from time to time without the consent or input of the Noteholders and the powers of the Credit Derivatives Determinations Committees may be expanded or modified as a result.

ANNEX D

AUCTION SETTLEMENT TERMS

If a Credit Event Trigger occurs with respect to a Reference Entity and Auction Settlement applies, the Settlement Amount with respect to the Notes will be calculated based on the Auction Final Price for such Reference Entity (if any). This Annex contains a summary of certain provisions of the Form of Credit Derivatives Auction Settlement Terms set forth at, as published by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. ("ISDA") on March 12, 2009 asAnnex B to the 2009 ISDA Credit Derivatives Determinations Committees and Auction Settlement Supplement to the 2003 ISDA Credit Derivatives Definitions, published by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. ("ISDA") on 12 March 2009 (the "Form of Auction Settlement Terms") and is qualified by reference to the detailed provisions thereof. The following does not purport to be complete and prospective investors must refer to the Form of Auction Settlement Terms for detailed information regarding the auction methodology set forth therein (the "Auction Methodology"). The Auction and the Auction Methodology apply to credit default swaps on the Reference Entity and do not apply specifically to the Notes; however, if a Credit Event Trigger occurs and an Auction is held, the Calculation Agent will apply the Auction Final Price to the Notes. See "Terms Relating to the Auction Settlement" in the Credit Annex attached hereto as Annex A. A copy of the Form of Auction Settlement Terms may be inspected at the offices of the Issuer and is also currently available at:

 

http://www.jpmorgan.com/directdoc/form_of_credit_derivatives_auction_settlement_terms_4_8_09.pdf.

 

Noteholders should also be aware that this summary of the Form of Auction Settlement Terms is accurate only as of the date of these Final Terms and such Form of Auction Settlement Terms may be amended in accordance with the Rules (as defined below) at any time (and from time to time) at a later date without consultation with the Noteholders. At any time after the date of these Final Terms, the latest Form of Auction Settlement Terms will be available on the ISDA website at www.isda.org (or any successor website thereto). Further, notwithstanding the fact that the Form of Auction Settlement Terms (as may be amended from time to time) appears on the ISDA website, the Credit Derivatives Determinations Committees have the power to amend the form of Credit Derivatives Auction Settlement Terms for a particular auction and that this summary may therefore not be accurate in all cases (for further information about the Credit Derivatives Auction Settlement Terms, see "Credit Derivatives Determinations Committees" at Annex C of these Final Terms).

 

Capitalized terms used but not defined in this summary have the meaning specified in the Final Terms. All times of day in this summary refer to such times in New York City.

Publication of Credit Derivatives Auction Settlement Terms

 

Pursuant to the Credit Derivatives Determinations Committees Rules set forth in Annex A to the 2009 ISDA Credit Derivatives Determinations Committees and Auction Settlement Supplement to the 2003 ISDA Credit Derivatives Definitions (published on 12 March 2009), as published by ISDA on its website at www.isda.org (or any successor website thereto) from time to time and as amended from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof (the "Rules"), a Credit Derivatives Determinations Committee may determine that a Credit Event has occurred in respect of a Reference Entity (such entity, an "Affected Reference Entity") and that one or more auctions will be held in order to settle affected transactions referencing such Affected Reference Entity based upon an Auction Final Price determined according to an auction procedure set forth in the Form of Auction Settlement Terms (each, an "Auction"). If an Auction is to be held, the Credit Derivatives Determinations Committee will publish Credit Derivatives Auction Settlement Terms in respect of the relevant Affected Reference Entity, based upon the Form of Auction Settlement Terms. In doing so, the Credit Derivatives Determinations Committee will make several related determinations, including the Auction Date, the Participating Bidders and the supplemental terms that are detailed in Schedule 1 to the Form of Auction Settlement Terms. The Credit Derivatives Determinations Committee may also amend the Form of Auction Settlement Terms for a particular auction and may determine that a public comment period is necessary in order to effect such an amendment if such amendment is not contemplated by the Rules.

Certain matters regarding Auctions following a Restructuring Credit Event

 

Following the occurrence of a Credit Event, all Deliverable Obligations of the affected Reference Entity tend to trade at the same price. However, in the event of a Restructuring Credit Event, bonds with a shorter remaining maturity tend to trade at a higher price than bonds with a longer-dated maturity. If either "Restructuring Maturity Limitation and Fully Transferable Obligation" ("Mod R") or "Modified Restructuring Maturity Limitation and Conditionally Transferable Obligation" ("Mod Mod R") is specified as applicable with respect to a Reference Entity then certain maturity limitations in the Mod R and Mod Mod R provisions will apply to limit the maturity of Deliverable Obligations based on the maturity of the Securities.

 

In cases where settlement of a Credit Derivative Transaction is triggered by Buyer, and Mod R (being market standard for Credit Derivative Transactions referencing North American corporate entities to which Restructuring is applicable) or Mod Mod R (being market standard for Credit Derivative Transactions referencing European corporate entities) is applicable, any obligation which Buyer wishes to Deliver to Seller must not only constitute a Deliverable Obligation but must also satisfy additional requirements as to transferability (for Mod R, being a Fully Transferable Obligation and for Mod Mod R, being a Conditionally Transferable Obligation) and as to its final maturity date.

(a) Pursuant to Mod R, Deliverable Obligations must have a final maturity date not later than the applicable Restructuring Maturity Limitation Date. This date is the earlier of:

(i) 30 months following the Restructuring Date; and

(ii) the latest final maturity date of any Restructured Bond or Loan, provided, however, that the Restructuring Maturity Limitation Date shall not be earlier than the Scheduled Credit Observation End Date or later than 30 months following the Scheduled Credit Observation End Date and if it would otherwise be so, it shall be deemed to be the Scheduled Credit Observation End Date or 30 months following the Scheduled Maturity Date, as the case may be.

(b) Pursuant to Mod Mod R, Deliverable Obligations must have a final maturity date not later than the applicable Modified Restructuring Maturity Limitation Date. This date is the later of:

(i) the Scheduled Maturity Date; and

(ii) 60 months following the Restructuring Date in the case of a Restructured Bond or Loan, or 30 months in the case of all other Deliverable Obligations.

 

Following the determination by a relevant Credit Derivatives Determinations Committee that a Restructuring Credit Event has occurred in respect of a Reference Entity for which either Mod R or Mod Mod R is specified, the Credit Derivatives Determinations Committee will compile a Final List of Deliverable Obligations and, for each maturity bucket (each, a "Maturity Bucket"), the range of swap maturity dates of credit derivative swap transactions assigned to each Maturity Bucket. Broadly speaking, eight separate Maturity Buckets have been established for credit default swap transactions for which Mod or Mod Mod R is applicable. The first seven such Maturity Buckets will each encompass a maturity period that ends, respectively, 2.5 years, 5 years, 7.5 years, 10 years, 12.5 years, 15 years or 20 years following the Restructuring Date; and the eighth Maturity Bucket will encompass a maturity period ending after 20 years following the Restructuring Date (each such ending date, a "Maturity Bucket End Date"). The Maturity Bucket to which the Securities will be notionally "assigned" will the one in which the Scheduled Maturity Date is expected to fall.

Deliverable Obligations which are Fully Transferable or Conditionally Transferable, as the case may be, and which have a final maturity date on or prior to the relevant Maturity Bucket End Date for the Maturity Bucket to which the Securities are assigned will be Deliverable Obligations for the purposes of the Maturity Bucket to which the Securities are assigned and for those Maturity Buckets with later Maturity Bucket End Dates, if any.

 

Following the publication of the Final List, there may be no Auctions held for certain Maturity Buckets, either because: (a) there are no Deliverable Obligations that are not common between such buckets with a shorter-dated bucket; or (b) the Credit Derivatives Determinations Committee has determined that an Auction for such buckets are not warranted for reasons such as there being a limited notional volume of credit derivative transactions with maturities falling within such buckets. If at least 300 credit derivative transactions are triggered after a Restructuring Credit Event determination with respect to a given maturity bucket and five or more credit derivative dealers are parties to such transactions (or, otherwise, if the Credit Derivatives Determinations Committee so determines), an Auction will be held for such maturity bucket.

 

Where there are no Deliverable Obligations that such Maturity Buckets do not share with a shorter-dated Maturity Bucket, the relevant Auction for the purposes of the Securities will be the next earlier Maturity Bucket that does not suffer from the same lack of Deliverable Obligations.

 

If no Auction is to be held for the Maturity Bucket corresponding to the Scheduled Maturity Date of the Securities, the Calculation Agent may, in its sole discretion, determine that the Auction Final Price should be determined pursuant to another Auction, in respect of the next earlier Maturity Bucket for which an Auction is being held, by exercising the Movement Option. The Auction will take place no earlier than six business days following the relevant Exercise Cut-off Date. If the Calculation Agent does not exercise the Movement Option, the Securities will be settled in accordance with the Cash Settlement Method.

Auction Methodology

Determining the Auction Currency Rate

 

On the Auction Currency Fixing Date, the Administrators will determine the rate of conversion (each, an "Auction Currency Rate") as between the Relevant Currency and the currency of denomination of each Deliverable Obligation (each, a "Relevant Pairing") by reference to a Currency Rate Source or, if such Currency Rate Source is unavailable, by seeking mid-market rates of conversion from Participating Bidders (determined by each such Participating Bidder in a commercially reasonable manner) for each such Relevant Pairing. If rates of conversion are sought from Participating Bidders and more than three such rates are obtained by the Administrators, the Auction Currency Rate will be the arithmetic mean of such rates, without regard to the rates having the highest and lowest values. If exactly three rates are obtained, the Auction Currency Rate will be the rate remaining after disregarding the rates having the highest and lowest values. For this purpose, if more than one rate has the same highest or lowest value, then one of such rates shall be disregarded. If fewer than three rates are obtained, it will be deemed that the Auction Currency Rate cannot be determined for such Relevant Pairing.

Initial Bidding Period

 

During the Initial Bidding Period, Participating Bidders will submit to the Administrators: (a) Initial Market Bids; (b) Initial Market Offers; (c) Dealer Physical Settlement Requests; and (d) Customer Physical Settlement Requests (to the extent received from customers).

 

Initial Market Bids and Initial Market Offers are firm quotations, expressed as percentages, to enter into credit derivative transactions in respect of the Affected Reference Entity on terms equivalent to the Representative Auction-Settled Transaction.

 

The Initial Market Bid and Initial Market Offer submitted by each Participating Bidder must differ by no more than the Maximum Initial Market Bid-Offer Spread of par and must be an integral multiple of the Relevant Pricing Increment. The Initial Market Bid must be less than the Initial Market Offer.

 

Dealer Physical Settlement Requests and Customer Physical Settlement Requests are firm commitments, submitted by a Participating Bidder, on its own behalf or on behalf of a customer, as applicable, to enter into a Representative Auction-Settled Transaction, in each case, as seller (in which case, such commitment will be a "Physical Settlement Buy Request") or buyer (in which case, such commitment will be a "Physical Settlement Sell Request"). Each Dealer Physical Settlement Request must be, to the best of such Participating Bidder's knowledge and belief, in the same direction as, and not in excess of, its Market Position. Each Customer Physical Settlement Request must be, to the best of the relevant customer's knowledge and belief (aggregated with all Customer Physical Settlement Requests submitted by such customer), in the same direction as, and not in excess of, its Market Position.

 

If the Administrators do not receive valid Initial Market Bids and Initial Market Offers from at least a minimum number of Participating Bidders (as determined by the Credit Derivatives Determinations Committee and specified in the Credit Derivatives Auction Settlement Terms in respect of the relevant Affected Reference Entity), the timeline will be adjusted and the Initial Bidding Period extended, with the Auction recommencing at such time(s) specified by the Administrators, otherwise it will proceed as follows.

Determination of Open Interest, Initial Market Midpoint and Adjustment Amounts

 

The Administrators will calculate the Open Interest, the Initial Market Midpoint and any Adjustment Amounts in respect of the Auction.

 

The Open Interest is the difference between all Physical Settlement Sell Requests and all Physical Settlement Buy Requests.

 

To determine the Initial Market Midpoint, the Administrators will: (a) sort the Initial Market Bids in descending order and the Initial Market Offers in ascending order, identifying non-tradeable markets for which bids are lower than offers; (b) sort non-tradeable markets in terms of tightness of spread between Initial Market Bid and Initial Market Offer; and (c) identify that half of the non-tradeable markets with the tightest spreads. The Initial Market Midpoint is determined as the arithmetic mean of the Initial Market Bids and Initial Market Offers contained in the half of non-tradeable markets with the tightest spreads.

 

Any Participating Bidder whose Initial Market Bid or Initial Market Offer forms part of a tradeable market will be required to make a payment to ISDA on the third Business Day after the Auction Final Price Determination Date (an "Adjustment Amount"), calculated in accordance with the Auction Methodology. Any payments of Adjustment Amounts shall be used by ISDA to defray any costs related to any auction that ISDA has coordinated, or that ISDA will in the future coordinate, for purposes of settlement of credit derivative transactions.

 

If for any reason no single Initial Market Midpoint can be determined, the procedure set out above may be repeated.

 

At or prior to the Initial Bidding Information Publication Time on any day on which the Initial Bidding Period has successfully concluded, the Administrators publish the Open Interest, the Initial Market Midpoint and the details of any Adjustment Amounts in respect of the Auction.

 

If the Open Interest is zero, the Auction Final Price will be the Initial Market Midpoint.

Submission of Limit Order Submissions

 

In the event that the Open Interest does not equal zero, a subsequent bidding period will be commenced during the Initial Bidding Period which: (a) if the Open Interest is an offer to sell Deliverable Obligations, Participating Bidders submit Limit Bids; or (b) if the Open Interest is a bid to purchase Deliverable Obligations, Limit Offers, in each case, on behalf of customers and for their own account.

Matching bids and offers

 

If the Open Interest is a bid to purchase Deliverable Obligations, the Administrators will match the Open Interest against all Initial Market Offers and Limit Offers, as further described in the Auction Methodology. If the Open Interest is an offer to sell Deliverable Obligations, the Administrators will match the Open Interest against all Initial Market Bids and Limit Bids, as further described in the Auction Methodology.

(a) Auction Final Price when the Open Interest is Filled

 

The Auction Final Price will be the price associated with the matched market that is the highest offer or the lowest bid, as applicable, provided that: (a) if the Open Interest is an offer to sell and the price associated with the lowest matched bid is more than the Cap Amount higher than the Initial Market Midpoint, then the Auction Final Price will be the Initial Market Midpoint plus the Cap Amount; and (b) if the Open Interest is a bid to purchase and the price associated with the highest offer is more than the Cap Amount lower than the Initial Market Midpoint, then the Auction Final Price will be the Initial market Midpoint minus the Cap Amount.

(b) Auction Final Price when the Open Interest is Not Filled

 

If, once all the Initial Market Bids and Limit Bids or Initial Market Offers and Limit Offers, as applicable, have been matched to the Open Interest, part of the Open Interest remains, the Auction Final Price will be: (a) if the Open Interest is a bid to purchase Deliverable Obligations, the greater of (i) 100% and (ii) the highest Limit Offer or Initial Market Offer received; or (b) if the Open Interest is an offer to sell Deliverable Obligations, zero.

100 per cent. Cap to Auction Final Price

 

In all cases, if the Auction Final Price determined pursuant to the Auction Methodology is greater than 100 per cent., then the Auction Final Price will be deemed to be 100 per cent.

Publication of Auction Final Price

 

At or prior to the Subsequent Bidding Information Publication Time on any day on which the subsequent bidding period has successfully concluded, the Administrators will publish on their websites: (a) the Auction Final Price; (b) the names of the Participating Bidders who submitted bids, offers, valid Dealer Physical Settlement Requests and valid Customer Physical Settlement Requests, together with the details of all such bids and offers submitted by each; and (c) the details and size of all matched trades.

Execution of Trades Formed in the Auction

 

Each Participating Bidder whose Limit Bid or Initial Market Bid (or Limit Offer or Initial Market Offer if applicable) is matched against the Open Interest, and each Participating Bidder that submitted a Customer Physical Settlement Request or Dealer Physical Settlement Request, is deemed to have entered into a Representative Auction-Settled Transaction, and each customer that submitted such a Limit Bid, Limit Offer, or Physical Settlement Request is deemed to have entered into a Representative Auction-Settled Transaction with the dealer through whom the customer submitted such bid or offer. Accordingly, each such Participating Bidder or customer that is a seller of Deliverable Obligations pursuant to a trade formed in the auction must deliver to the buyer to whom such Participating Bidder or customer has been matched a Notice of Physical Settlement indicating the Deliverable Obligations that it will deliver, and such Deliverable Obligations will be sold to the buyer in exchange for payment of the relevant Auction Settlement Amount.

Timing of Auction Settlement Provisions

 

If an Auction is held in respect of an Affected Reference Entity, it is expected that the relevant Auction Date will occur on the third Business Day immediately prior to the 30th calendar day after which the relevant Credit Derivatives Determinations Committee received the request from an eligible market participant (endorsed by a member of the relevant Credit Derivatives Determinations Committee) to resolve whether a Credit Event has occurred with respect to such Reference Entity.

 

In respect of an Affected Reference Entity for which an Auction is held, the Auction Settlement Date will occur on a Business Day following the Auction Final Price Determination Date, as determined by the Credit Derivatives Determinations Committee and specified in the Credit Derivatives Auction Settlement Terms in respect of the relevant Affected Reference Entity. By way of example, in recent ISDA CDS Auction Protocols (prior to the publication of the 2009 ISDA Credit Derivatives Determinations Committees and, Auction Settlement and RestructuringSupplement to the 2003 ISDA Credit Derivatives Definitions) this has been approximately five Business Days following the relevant Auction Final Price Determination Date. The Settlement Date of the Notes will occur on the third Business Day following the Auction Settlement Date.

 

The expected timeline is illustrated in the diagram below. Noteholders should be aware that the expected timeline is subject to amendment (and may be subject to acceleration or delay) upon agreement by at least 80 per cent. (by number) of the voting members of the relevant Credit Derivatives Determinations Committee.

 

 

DO NOT DELETE: Graph found in PPT doc: NY:8335341

Delayed Auction Provisions

 

The Auction timing may be adjusted under the relevant following circumstances: (a) the occurrence of an event or news the occurrence of which two or more Participating Bidders consider has or could have a material effect on the Auction Final Price; (b) if the Administrators are unable to determine an Auction Currency Rate on the Auction Currency Fixing Date with respect to each Relevant Pairing; (c) if the Auction Methodology does not result in an Auction Final Price for any reason (including, but not limited to, the failure to receive the minimum number of valid Initial Market Bids and Initial Market Offers); or (d) any combination of (a), (b) and (c).

Auction Cancellation

 

If an Auction Final Price has not been determined on or prior to: (a) the fifth Business Day following the Auction Date, in the events described in clause (a) or (d) of "Delayed Auction Provisions" above; or (b) the second Business Day following the Auction Date, in the events described in clause (b) or (c) of "Delayed Auction Provisions" above, then the Auction will be deemed to have been cancelled and the Administrators and ISDA will announce the occurrence of such cancellation on their respective websites.

 

Ability of the Issuer or its Affiliates to influence the outcome of the Auction

 

As of the date of these Final Terms, the Calculation Agent (or one of its Affiliates) is a leading dealer in the credit derivatives market. There is a high probability that the Calculation Agent (or one of its Affiliates) would act as a Participating Bidder in any Auction held with respect to the Reference Entity. In such capacity, it may take certain actions which may influence the Auction Final Price including (without limitation): (a) providing rates of conversion to determine the Auction Currency Rate; (b) submitting Initial Market Bids, Initial Market Offers and Dealer Physical Settlement Requests; and (c) submitting limit Bids and Limit Offers. In deciding whether to take any such action (or whether to act as a Participating Bidder in any Auction), the Calculation Agent (or its Affiliate) shall be under no obligation to consider the interests of any Noteholder.

Litigation

The following summary of certain significant legal proceedings has been extracted from the JPMorgan Chase & Co. March 2010 Form 10-Q.

Bear Stearns Shareholder Litigation and Related Matters. Various shareholders of Bear Stearns have commenced purported class actions against Bear Stearns and certain of its former officers and/or directors on behalf of all persons who purchased or otherwise acquired common stock of Bear Stearns between 14 December 2006 and 14 March 2008 (the "Class Period"). During the Class Period, Bear Stearns had between 115 and 120 million common shares outstanding, and the price of those securities declined from a high of $172.61 to low of $30 at the end of the period. The actions, originally commenced in several U.S. federal courts, allege that the defendants issued materially false and misleading statements regarding Bear Stearns' business and financial results and that, as a result of those false statements, Bear Stearns' common stock traded at artificially inflated prices during the Class Period. In connection with these allegations, the complaints assert claims for violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). Separately, several individual shareholders of Bear Stearns have commenced or threatened to commence arbitration proceedings and lawsuits asserting claims similar to those in the putative class actions.

In addition, Bear Stearns and certain of its former officers and/or directors have also been named as defendants in a number of purported class actions commenced in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York seeking to represent the interests of participants in the Bear Stearns Employee Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP") during the time period of December 2006 to March 2008. These actions allege that defendants breached their fiduciary duties to plaintiffs and to the other participants and beneficiaries of the ESOP by (a) failing to manage prudently the ESOP's investment in Bear Stearns securities; (b) failing to communicate fully and accurately about the risks of the ESOP's investment in Bear Stearns stock; (c) failing to avoid or address alleged conflicts of interest; and (d) failing to monitor those who managed and administered the ESOP. In connection with these allegations, each plaintiff asserts claims for violations under various sections of the U.S. Employee Retirement Income Security Act ("ERISA") and seeks reimbursement to the ESOP for all losses, an unspecified amount of monetary damages and imposition of a constructive trust.

Bear Stearns, former members of Bear Stearns' Board of Directors and certain of Bear Stearns' former executive officers have also been named as defendants in two purported shareholder derivative suits, subsequently consolidated into one action, pending in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. Plaintiffs are asserting claims for breach of fiduciary duty, violations of U.S. federal securities laws, waste of corporate assets and gross mismanagement, unjust enrichment, abuse of control and indemnification and contribution in connection with the losses sustained by Bear Stearns as a result of its purchases of sub-prime loans and certain repurchases of its own common stock. Certain individual defendants are also alleged to have sold their holdings of Bear Stearns common stock while in possession of material non-public information. Plaintiffs seek compensatory damages in an unspecified amount and an order directing Bear Stearns to improve its corporate governance procedures. Plaintiffs later filed a second amended complaint asserting, for the first time, purported class action claims for violation of Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act, as well as new allegations concerning events that took place in March 2008.

All of the above-described actions filed in U.S. federal courts were ordered transferred and joined for pre-trial purposes before the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. Motions to dismiss have been filed in the purported securities class action, the shareholders' derivative action and the ERISA action.

Bear Stearns Merger Litigation. Seven putative class actions (five that were commenced in New York and two that were commenced in Delaware) were consolidated in New York State Court in Manhattan under the caption In re Bear Stearns Litigation. Bear Stearns, as well as its former directors and certain of its former executive officers, were named as defendants. JPMorgan Chase & Co. was also named as a defendant. The actions allege, among other things, that the individual defendants breached their fiduciary duties and obligations to Bear Stearns' shareholders by agreeing to the proposed merger. JPMorgan Chase was alleged to have aided and abetted the alleged breaches of fiduciary duty; breached its fiduciary duty as controlling shareholder/controlling entity; tortiously interfered with the Bear Stearns shareholders' voting rights; and to have been unjustly enriched. In December 2008, the court granted summary judgment in favour of all the defendants. Plaintiffs did not file an appeal and the matter is concluded.

Bear Stearns Hedge Fund Matters. Bear Stearns, certain current or former subsidiaries of Bear Stearns, including Bear Stearns Asset Management, Inc. ("BSAM") and Bear Stearns & Co. Inc., and certain current or former Bear Stearns employees are named defendants (collectively the "Bear Stearns defendants") in multiple civil actions and arbitrations relating to alleged losses of more than $1 billion resulting from the failure of the Bear Stearns High Grade Structured Credit Strategies Master Fund, Ltd. (the "High Grade Fund") and the Bear Stearns High Grade Structured Credit Strategies Enhanced Leverage Master Fund, Ltd. (the "Enhanced Leverage Fund") (collectively, the "Funds"). BSAM served as investment manager for both of the Funds, which were organised such that there were U.S. and Cayman Islands "feeder funds" that invested substantially all their assets, directly or indirectly, in the Funds. The Funds are in liquidation.

There are five civil actions pending in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York relating to the Funds. Three of these actions involve derivative lawsuits brought on behalf of purchasers of partnership interests in the two U.S. feeder funds. Plaintiffs in these actions allege that the Bear Stearns defendants mismanaged the Funds and made material misrepresentations to and/or withheld information from investors in the funds. These actions seek, among other things, unspecified compensatory damages based on alleged investor losses. A fourth action, brought by the Joint Voluntary Liquidators of the Cayman Islands feeder funds, makes allegations similar to those asserted in the derivative lawsuits related to the U.S. feeder funds, and seeks compensatory and punitive damages. A motion to dismiss or alternatively to stay is pending in one of the derivative suits relating to one of the U.S. feeder funds. In the remaining three cases, motions to dismiss have been granted in part and denied in part, and discovery is ongoing. The fifth action was brought by Bank of America and Banc of America Securities LLC (together "BofA") alleging breach of contract and fraud in connection with a May 2007 $4 billion securitisation, known as a "CDO-squared", for which BSAM served as collateral manager. This securitisation was composed of certain collateralised debt obligation ("CDO") holdings that were purchased by BofA from the High Grade Fund and the Enhanced Leverage Fund. Defendants' motion to dismiss in this action was largely denied; an amended complaint was filed; and discovery is ongoing in this case as well.

Ralph Cioffi and Matthew Tannin, the portfolio managers for the Funds, were tried on criminal charges of securities fraud and conspiracy to commit securities and wire fraud brought by the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of New York. The U.S. Attorney's Office contended, among other things, that Cioffi and Tannin made misrepresentations concerning the Funds' performance, prospects and liquidity, as well as their personal investments in the Funds. On 10 November 2009, after a fiveweek trial, the jury found Cioffi and Tannin not guilty of all charges submitted to the jury. The SEC is proceeding with its action against Cioffi and Tannin.

Municipal Derivatives Investigations and Litigation. The U.S. Department of Justice's Antitrust Division and the SEC have been investigating JPMorgan Chase and Bear Stearns for possible antitrust and securities violations in connection with the bidding or sale of guaranteed investment contracts and derivatives to municipal issuers. A group of state attorneys general and the U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (the "OCC") have opened investigations into the same underlying conduct. JPMorgan Chase has been cooperating with all of these investigations. The Philadelphia Office of the SEC provided notice to J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. ("JPMSI") that it intends to recommend that the SEC bring civil charges in connection with its investigations. JPMSI has responded to that notice, as well as to a separate notice that that Philadelphia Office provided to Bear, Stearns & Co. Inc.

Purported class action lawsuits and individual actions (the "Municipal Derivatives Actions") have been filed against JPMorgan Chase and Bear Stearns, as well as numerous other providers and brokers, alleging antitrust violations in the reportedly $100 billion to $300 billion annual market for financial instruments related to municipal bond offerings referred to collectively as "municipal derivatives." The Municipal Derivatives Actions have been consolidated in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. The court denied in part and granted in part defendants' motions to dismiss the purported class and individual actions, permitting certain claims to proceed against JPMorgan Chase and others under U.S. federal and California state antitrust laws and under the California false claims act.

As previously reported, following public reports of JPMSI's settlement with the SEC in connection with certain Jefferson County, Alabama (the "County") warrant underwritings and related swap transactions, the County filed a complaint against JPMorgan Chase and several other defendants in the Circuit Court of Jefferson County, Alabama. The suit alleges that JPMorgan Chase made payments to certain third parties in exchange for which it was chosen to underwrite more than $3 billion in warrants issued by the County and chosen as the counterparty for certain swaps executed by the County. In its complaint, Jefferson County alleges that JPMorgan Chase concealed these third party payments and that, but for this concealment, the County would not have entered into the transactions. The County further alleges that the transactions increased the risks of its capital structure and that, following the downgrade of certain insurers that insured the warrants, the County's interest obligations increased and the principal due on a portion of its outstanding warrants was accelerated. JPMorgan Chase moved to dismiss.

A putative class action was filed on behalf of sewer ratepayers against JPMorgan Chase and Bear Stearns and numerous other defendants, based on substantially the same conduct described above (the "Wilson Action"). Defendants moved to dismiss the claims. The plaintiff in the Wilson Action recently filed a sixth amended complaint. The court has ordered that defendants file briefs in support of their motion to dismiss.

An insurance company that guaranteed the payment of principal and interest on warrants issued by the County has also filed an action against JPMorgan Chase and others in New York state court asserting that defendants fraudulently misled it into issuing the insurance coverage, based upon substantially the same alleged conduct described above and other alleged non-disclosures. Plaintiff claims that it insured an aggregate principal amount of nearly $1.2 billion in warrants, and seeks unspecified damages in excess of $400 million, as well as unspecified punitive damages.

The Alabama Public Schools and College Authority ("APSCA") brought a declaratory judgment action in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Alabama claiming that certain interest rate swaption transactions entered into with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. are void on the grounds that the APSCA purportedly did not have the authority to enter into transactions or, alternatively, are voidable at the APSCA's option because of its alleged inability to issue refunding bonds in relation to the swaption. Following the denial of its motion to dismiss the action, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. answered the complaint and filed a counterclaim seeking the amounts due under the Swaption transactions. Discovery is under way.

Interchange Litigation. A group of merchants have filed a series of putative class action complaints in several U.S. federal courts. The complaints allege that Visa and MasterCard, as well as certain other

banks and their respective bank holding companies, conspired to set the price of credit card interchange fees, enacted respective association rules in violation of Section 1 of the Sherman Antitrust Act (the "Sherman Act"), and engaged in tying/bundling and exclusive dealing. The complaint seeks unspecified damages and injunctive relief based on the theory that interchange would be lower or eliminated but for the challenged conduct. Based on publicly available estimates, Visa and MasterCard branded payment cards generated approximately $40 billion of interchange industry-wide in 2009. All cases have been consolidated in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York for pretrial proceedings. The amended consolidated class action complaint extended the claims beyond credit to debit cards. Defendants filed a motion to dismiss all claims that predated January 2004. The Court granted the motion to dismiss those claims.

Plaintiffs then filed a second amended consolidated class action complaint. The basic theories of the complaint remain the same, and defendants again filed motions to dismiss. The Court has not yet ruled on the motions. Fact discovery has closed, and expert discovery in the case is ongoing. The plaintiffs have filed a motion seeking class certification, and the defendants have opposed that motion. The Court has not yet ruled on the class certification motion.

In addition to the consolidated class action complaint, plaintiffs filed supplemental complaints challenging the MasterCard and Visa initial public offerings (the "IPO Complaints"). With respect to MasterCard, plaintiffs allege that the offering violated Section 7 of the U.S. Clayton Antitrust Act and Section 1 of the Sherman Act and that the offering was a fraudulent conveyance. With respect to the Visa IPO, plaintiffs are challenging the Visa IPO on antitrust theories parallel to those articulated in the MasterCard IPO pleading. Defendants have filed motions to dismiss the IPO Complaints. The Court has not yet ruled on those motions.

Mortgage-Backed Securities Litigation. JPMorgan Chase and affiliates, heritage-Bear Stearns and affiliates and heritage-Washington Mutual affiliates have been named as defendants in a number of cases relating to various roles they played in mortgage-backed securities ("MBS") offerings. These cases are generally purported class action suits, actions by individual purchasers of securities, or actions by insurance companies that guaranteed payments of principal and interest for particular tranches. Although the allegations vary by lawsuit, these cases generally allege that the offering documents for dozens of securitisation trusts in the aggregate more than $140 billion of securities contained material misrepresentations and omissions, including statements regarding the underwriting standards pursuant to which the underlying mortgage loans were issued, the ratings given to the tranches by rating agencies, and the appraisal standards that were used.

Purported class actions are pending against JPMorgan Chase, heritage-Bear Stearns, and certain of their affiliates and current and former employees in the U.S. District Courts for the Eastern and Southern Districts of New York. Defendants have moved to dismiss the action pending against heritage Bear Stearns entities and certain of their former employees. Heritage Washington Mutual affiliates, Washington Mutual.

Asset Acceptance Corp. and Washington Mutual Capital Corp., are defendants, along with certain former officers or directors of Washington Mutual Asset Acceptance Corp., in two now-consolidated purported class action cases pending in the Western District of Washington. In addition to allegations as to mortgage underwriting standards and ratings, plaintiffs in these cases allege that defendants failed to disclose Washington Mutual Bank's alleged coercion of or collusion with appraisal vendors to inflate appraisal valuations of the loans in the pools. Defendants have moved to dismiss. In addition to the purported class actions, certain JPMorgan Chase entities and several heritage Bear Stearns entities are defendants in actions filed in state courts in Pennsylvania and Washington brought by the Federal Home Loan Banks ("FHLB") of Pittsburgh and Seattle, respectively. These actions relate to each Federal Home Loan Bank's purchases of certificates in MBS offerings. Defendants moved to dismiss the complaint brought by the FHLB of Pittsburgh. Defendants removed the action by FHLB Seattle to federal court, where it was consolidated with 10 other identical lawsuits by that FHLB against other financial services firms. FHLB of Seattle has moved to remand the consolidated cases back to state court. Two additional and virtually identical suits have been filed in California state court by the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco against various financial services firms, including certain heritage Bear Stearns entities.

EMC Mortgage Corporation ("EMC"), a subsidiary of JPMorgan Chase, is a defendant in four pending actions commenced by bond insurers that guaranteed payment on certain classes of MBS offerings sponsored by EMC. Two of the actions, commenced respectively by Ambac Assurance Corporation and Syncora Guarantee, Inc. ("Syncora"), are pending in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York and involve five securitisations sponsored by EMC. The third action was commenced by Syncora, seeking access to certain loan files. The fourth was filed by CIFG Assurance North America, Inc. in state court in Texas, and involves one securitisation sponsored by EMC. In each action, plaintiffs claim the underlying mortgage loans had origination defects that purportedly violate certain representations and warranties given by EMC to plaintiffs and that EMC has breached the relevant agreements between the parties by failing to repurchase allegedly defective mortgage loans. Each action seeks unspecified damages and an order compelling EMC to repurchase those loans.

An action is pending in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York brought on behalf of purchasers of certificates issued by various MBS securitisations sponsored by affiliates of IndyMac Bancorp ("IndyMac Trusts"). JPMSI, along with numerous other underwriters and individuals, is named as a defendant, both in its own capacity and as successor to Bear Stearns & Co. Inc. The defendants have moved to dismiss. JPMorgan Chase and JPMSI are defendants in an action pending in state court in Pennsylvania brought by FHLB-Pittsburgh, relating to its purchase of a certificate issued by one IndyMac Trust. Defendants have moved to dismiss. JPMorgan Chase, as alleged successor to Bear Stearns & Co. Inc., and other underwriters, along with certain individuals, are defendants in an action pending in state court in California brought by MBIA Insurance Corp. ("MBIA") relating to certain certificates issued by three IndyMac trusts, as to two of which Bear Stearns was an underwriter, and as to which MBIA provided guaranty insurance policies. MBIA purports to be subrogated to the rights of the certificate holders, and seeks recovery of sums it has paid and will pay pursuant to those policies.

A heritage-Bear Stearns subsidiary is a defendant in a purported class action that is pending in U.S. federal court in New Mexico against a number of financial institutions that served as depositors and/or underwriters for ten MBS offerings issued by Thornburg Mortgage, a bankrupt mortgage originator.

JPMorgan Chase and certain other heritage entities have been sued in other purported class actions for their roles an underwriter or depositor of third party MBS offerings but, other than the matters described in the above two paragraphs, JPMorgan Chase is indemnified in these other litigations.

Auction-Rate Securities Investigations and Litigation. Beginning in March 2008, several regulatory authorities initiated investigations of a number of industry participants, including JPMorgan Chase, concerning possible state and federal securities law violations in connection with the sale of auctionrate securities. The market for many such securities had frozen and a significant number of auctions for those securities began to fail in February 2008. JPMorgan Chase, on behalf of itself and affiliates, agreed to a settlement in principle with the New York Attorney General's Office which provided, among other things, that JPMorgan Chase would offer to purchase at par certain auction-rate securities purchased from JPMSI, Chase Investment Services Corp. and Bear, Stearns & Co. Inc. by individual investors, charities, and small- to medium-sized businesses. JPMorgan Chase also agreed to a substantively similar settlement in principle with the Office of Financial Regulation for the State of Florida and the North American Securities Administrator Association ("NASAA") Task Force, which agreed to recommend approval of the settlement to all remaining states, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. JPMorgan Chase finalized the settlement agreements with the New York Attorney General's Office and the Office of Financial Regulation for the State of Florida. The settlement agreements provide for the payment of penalties totalling $25 million to all states. JPMorgan Chase is currently in the process of finalising consent agreements with NASAA's member states. More than 30 of these consent agreements have been finalised to date.

JPMorgan Chase is also the subject of a putative securities class action in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York and a number of individual arbitrations and lawsuits in various forums, brought by institutional and individual investors that together allege damages of more than $200 million, relating to JPMorgan Chase's sales of auction-rate securities. One action is brought by an issuer of auction-rate securities. The actions generally allege that JPMorgan Chase and other firms manipulated the market for auction-rate securities by placing bids at auctions that affected these securities' clearing rates or otherwise supported the auctions without properly disclosing these activities. Some actions also allege that JPMorgan Chase misrepresented that auction-rate securities were short-term instruments. Plaintiffs filed an amended consolidated complaint, which JPMorgan Chase moved to dismiss. JPMorgan Chase also filed a motion to transfer and coordinate before the Southern District five other purported auction-rate securities class actions. The Southern District subsequently denied the motion to dismiss the purported securities class action with leave to re-file upon resolution of the transfer motion.

Additionally, JPMorgan Chase was named in two putative antitrust class actions in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, which actions allege that JPMorgan Chase, in collusion with numerous other financial institution defendants, entered into an unlawful conspiracy in violation

of Section 1 of the Sherman Act. Specifically, the complaints allege that defendants acted collusively to maintain and stabilise the auction-rate securities market and similarly acted collusively in withdrawing their support for the auction-rate securities market in February 2008. On 26 January 2010, the District Court dismissed both actions. The appeal is currently pending in the Second Circuit Court of Appeals. City of Milan Litigation and Criminal Investigation. In January 2009, the City of Milan, Italy (the "City") issued civil proceedings against (among others) JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and J.P. Morgan Securities Ltd. in the District Court of Milan. The proceedings relate to (a) a bond issue by the City in June 2005 (the "Bond") and (b) an associated swap transaction, which was subsequently restructured on a number of occasions between 2005 and 2007 (the "Swap"). The City seeks damages and/or other remedies against JPMorgan Chase (among others) on the grounds of alleged "fraudulent and deceitful acts" and alleged breach of advisory obligations by JPMorgan Chase (among others) in connection with the Swap and the Bond, together with related swap transactions with other counterparties. The civil proceedings continue and no trial date has been set as yet. JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. filed a challenge to the Italian Supreme Court's jurisdiction over it. In January 2009, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. also received a notice from the Prosecutor at the Court of Milan placing it and certain current and former JPMorgan Chase personnel under investigation in connection with the above transactions. Since April 2009, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. has been contesting an attachment order obtained by the Prosecutor, purportedly to freeze assets potentially subject to confiscation in the event of a conviction. The original Euro 92 million attachment has been reduced to Euro 44.9 million, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.'s application for a further reduction remains pending. The judge has directed four current and former JPMorgan Chase personnel and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (as well as other individuals and three other banks) to go forward to a full trial starting in May 2010. Although JPMorgan Chase is not charged with any crime and does not face criminal liability, if one or more of its employees were found guilty, JPMorgan Chase could be subject to administrative sanctions, including restrictions on its ability to conduct business in Italy and monetary penalties.

Physical Segregation of Assets in U.K. Affiliate. JPMorgan Chase discovered in July 2009 that one of its U.K. affiliates was not holding certain client money in a segregated trust status account with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as required by the rules of the U.K. Financial Services Authority (the "FSA"). JPMorgan Chase took immediate action to rectify the error and to notify the FSA. The matter is being reviewed by the FSA's Enforcement Division.

Washington Mutual Litigations. Subsequent to JPMorgan Chase's acquisition from the U.S. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") of substantially all of the assets and certain specified liabilities of Washington Mutual Bank, Henderson Nevada ("Washington Mutual Bank"), in September 2008, Washington Mutual Bank's parent holding company, Washington Mutual, Inc. ("WMI") and its wholly-owned subsidiary, WMI Investment Corp. (together, the "Debtors") both commenced voluntary cases under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the U.S. Code in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the "Bankruptcy Case"). In the Bankruptcy Case, the Debtors have asserted rights and interests in certain assets. The assets in dispute include principally the following: (a) approximately $4 billion in securities contributed by WMI to Washington Mutual Bank; (b) the right to tax refunds arising from overpayments attributable to operations of Washington Mutual Bank and its subsidiaries; (c) ownership of and other rights in approximately $4 billion that WMI contends are deposit accounts at Washington Mutual Bank and one of its subsidiaries; and (d) ownership of and rights in various other contracts and other assets (collectively, the "Disputed Assets").

JPMorgan Chase commenced an adversary proceeding in the Bankruptcy Case against the Debtors and (for interpleader purposes only) the FDIC seeking a declaratory judgment and other relief determining JPMorgan Chase's legal title to and beneficial interest in the Disputed Assets. Discovery is underway in the JPMorgan Chase adversary proceeding.

The Debtors commenced a separate adversary proceeding in the Bankruptcy Case against JPMorgan Chase, seeking turnover of the same $4 billion in purported deposit funds and recovery for alleged unjust enrichment for failure to turn over the funds. The Debtors have moved for summary judgment in the turnover proceeding. Discovery is under way in the turnover proceeding.

In both JPMorgan Chase's adversary proceeding and the Debtors' turnover proceeding, JPMorgan Chase and the FDIC have argued that the Bankruptcy Court lacks jurisdiction to adjudicate certain claims. JPMorgan Chase moved to have the adversary proceedings transferred to U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia and to withdraw jurisdiction from the Bankruptcy Court to the District Court. That motion is fully briefed. In addition, JPMorgan Chase and the FDIC filed papers with the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware appealing the Bankruptcy Court's rulings rejecting the jurisdictional arguments, and that appeal is fully briefed. JPMorgan Chase is also appealing a separate Bankruptcy Court decision holding, in part, that the Bankruptcy Court could proceed with certain matters while the first appeal is pending. Briefing on that appeal is under way.

The Debtors submitted claims substantially similar to those submitted in the Bankruptcy Court in the FDIC receivership for, among other things, ownership of certain Disputed Assets, as well as claims challenging the terms of the agreement pursuant to which substantially all of the assets of Washington Mutual Bank were sold by the FDIC to JPMorgan Chase. The FDIC, as receiver, disallowed the Debtors' claims and the Debtors filed an action against the FDIC in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia challenging the FDIC's disallowance of the Debtors' claims, claiming ownership of the Disputed Assets, and seeking money damages from the FDIC. JPMorgan Chase has intervened in the action. In January 2010, the District Court stayed the action pending developments in the Bankruptcy Court and ordered the parties to submit a joint status report every 120 days. In connection with the stay, the District Court denied WMI's and the FDIC's motions to dismiss without prejudice.

In addition, the Debtors moved in the Bankruptcy Court to take discovery from JPMorgan Chase purportedly related to a litigation originally filed in the 122nd State District Court of Galveston County, Texas (the "Texas Action"). JPMorgan Chase opposed the motion, but the Bankruptcy Court ordered that the discovery proceed. Debtors are also seeking related discovery from various third parties, including several government agencies. Plaintiffs in the Texas Action are certain holders of

WMI common stock and the debt of WMI and Washington Mutual Bank who have sued JPMorgan Chase for unspecified damages alleging that JPMorgan Chase acquired substantially all of the assets of Washington Mutual Bank from the FDIC at an allegedly too low price. The FDIC intervened in the Texas Action, had it removed to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas, and then the FDIC and JPMorgan Chase moved to have the Texas Action dismissed or transferred. The Court transferred the Texas Action to the District of Columbia. Plaintiffs have moved to have the FDIC dismissed as a party and to remand the action to the state court, or, in the alternative, dismissed for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. JPMorgan Chase and the FDIC have moved to have the entire action dismissed. In April 2010, in the previously disclosed Texas Action, the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia granted JPMorgan Chase's motion to dismiss the complaint, granted the FDIC's parallel motion to dismiss the complaint and denied plaintiffs' motion to dismiss the FDIC as a party and to remand the case to Texas state court.

Other proceedings related to Washington Mutual's failure also pending before the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia include a lawsuit brought by Deutsche Bank National Trust Company against the FDIC alleging breach of various mortgage securitisation agreements and alleged violation of certain representations and warranties given by certain WMI subsidiaries in connection with those securitisation agreements. JPMorgan Chase has not been named a party to the Deutsche Bank litigation, but the complaint includes assertions that JPMorgan Chase may have assumed certain liabilities.

On 12 March 2010, at a hearing for the previously disclosed Bankruptcy Case, the Debtors announced on the record that they had reached a settlement with JPMorgan Chase and FDIC that, subject to documentation, would resolve the previously disclosed disputes. On 26 March 2010, the Debtors filed a Plan and Proposed Disclosure Statement, together with a proposed global settlement agreement (the "Proposed Global Settlement Agreement"), by and among Debtors, JPMorgan Chase, and the FDIC, which incorporated the terms of the announced settlement. Debtors disclosed that while the provisions of the Proposed Global Settlement Agreement were agreed to by WMI, JPMorgan Chase and significant creditor groups of WMI, the FDIC has not agreed to all of the provisions contained in the Proposed Global Settlement Agreement. Settlement discussions are ongoing among the parties. It is unclear if those discussions will result in adherence to the terms contained in the Proposed Global Settlement Agreement or any settlement at all. While these discussions are ongoing, the previously disclosed appeals and motion to withdraw the reference pending before the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware have been stayed. Likewise, the stay of the action Debtors commenced against the FDIC in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia also remains in place.

Securities Lending Litigation. JPMorgan Chase Bank N.A. has been named as a defendant in four putative class actions asserting ERISA and non-ERISA claims pending in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York related to JPMorgan Chase's securities lending business. Three of the pending actions relate to losses of plaintiffs' money (i.e., cash collateral for securities loan transactions) in medium-term notes of a structured investment vehicle known as Sigma Finance Inc. ("Sigma"). The fourth action concerns losses of money invested in Lehman Brothers medium-term notes, as well as asset-backed securities offered by nine other issuers. JPMorgan Chase has moved to dismiss the claims regarding Lehman Brothers medium-term notes and the asset-backed securities.

Investment Management Litigation. Four cases have been filed claiming that investment portfolios managed by JPMorgan Investment Management Inc. ("JPMIM") were inappropriately invested in securities backed by subprime residential real estate collateral. Plaintiffs claim that JPMIM and related defendants are liable for the loss in market value of these securities. The first case was filed by NM Homes One, Inc. in U.S. federal court in New York. The Southern District Court granted JPMIM's motion to dismiss nine of plaintiff's ten causes of action. Five of the claims were dismissed without prejudice to plaintiff's right to replead. The remaining four claims were dismissed with prejudice. The second case, filed by Assured Guaranty (U.K.) in New York state court, was dismissed and Assured has appealed the court's decision. In the third case, filed by Ambac Assurance UK Limited in New York state court, the Court granted JPMIM's motion to dismiss in March 2010, and plaintiff has filed a notice of appeal. The fourth case was filed by CMMF LLP in New York state court in December 2009; the Court granted JPMIM's motion to dismiss the claims, other than claims for breach of contract and misrepresentation. Both CMMF and JPMIM have filed notices of appeal.

Lehman Brothers Bankruptcy Proceedings. In March 2010, the Examiner appointed by the Bankruptcy Court presiding over the Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc ("LBHI") and several of its subsidiaries (collectively, "Lehman") released a report as to his investigation into Lehman's failure and related matters. The Examiner concluded that one common law claim potentially could be asserted against JPMorgan Chase for contributing to Lehman's failure, though he characterised the claim as "not strong." The Examiner also opined that certain cash and securities collateral provided by LBHI to JPMorgan Chase in the weeks and days preceding LBHI's demise potentially could be challenged under the Bankruptcy Code's fraudulent conveyance or preference provisions, though JPMorgan Chase is of the view that its right to such collateral is protected by the Bankruptcy Code's safe harbor provisions. In addition, JPMorgan Chase may also face claims in the liquidation proceeding pending before the same Bankruptcy Court under the U.S. Securities Investor Protection Act ("SIPA") for LBHI's U.S. broker-dealer subsidiary, Lehman Brothers Inc. ("LBI"). The SIPA Trustee has advised JPMorgan Chase that certain of the securities and cash pledged as collateral for JPMorgan Chase's claims against LBI may be customer property free from any security interest in favour of JPMorgan Chase.

Enron Litigation. JPMorgan Chase and certain of its officers and directors are involved in several lawsuits that together seek damages of more than $1.6 billion arising out of its banking relationships with Enron Corp. and its subsidiaries ("Enron"). A number of actions and other proceedings against JPMorgan Chase have been resolved, including a class action lawsuit captioned Newby v. Enron Corp. and adversary proceedings brought by Enron's bankruptcy estate. The remaining Enron-related actions include individual actions by Enron investors, creditors and counterparties.

The remaining litigation also includes a suit against JPMorgan Chase alleging, in relevant part, breach of contract and breach of fiduciary duty based upon JPMorgan Chase's role as Indenture Trustee in connection with an indenture agreement between JPMorgan Chase and Enron. The case has been dismissed. In April 2010, the New York Court of Appeals affirmed the order dismissing the action.

A putative class action on behalf of JPMorgan Chase employees who participated in JPMorgan Chase's 401(k) plan asserted claims under ERISA for alleged breaches of fiduciary duties and negligence by JPMorgan Chase, its directors and named officers. JPMorgan Chase moved for judgment on the pleadings and the district court granted the motion in March 2010. Plaintiffs have appealed.

IPO Allocation Litigation. JPMorgan Chase and certain of its securities subsidiaries, including Bear Stearns, were named, along with numerous other firms in the securities industry, as defendants in a large number of putative class action lawsuits filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York alleging improprieties in connection with the allocation of securities in various public offerings, including some offerings for which a JPMorgan Chase entity served as an underwriter. They also claim violations of securities laws arising from alleged material misstatements and omissions in registration statements and prospectuses for the initial public offerings ("IPOs") and alleged market manipulation with respect to aftermarket transactions in the offered securities. Antitrust lawsuits based on similar allegations have been dismissed with prejudice. A settlement was reached in the securities cases, which the District Court approved; JPMorgan Chase's share of the settlement is approximately $62 million. Appeals have been filed in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit seeking reversal of the decision approving the settlement.

In addition to the various cases, proceedings and investigations discussed above, JPMorgan Chase & Co. and its subsidiaries are named as defendants or otherwise involved in a number of other legal actions and governmental proceedings arising in connection with their businesses. JPMorgan Chase believes it has meritorious defences to the claims asserted against it in its currently outstanding litigations, investigations and proceedings and it intends to defend itself vigorously in all such matters. Additional actions, investigations or proceedings may be initiated from time to time in the future.

In view of the inherent difficulty of predicting the outcome of legal matters, particularly where the claimants seek very large or indeterminate damages, or where the cases present novel legal theories, involve a large number of parties or are in early stages of discovery, JPMorgan Chase cannot state with confidence what the eventual outcome of these pending matters will be, what the timing of the ultimate resolution of these matters will be or what the eventual loss, fines, penalties or impact related to each pending matter may be. JPMorgan Chase believes, based upon its current knowledge, after consultation with counsel and after taking into account its current litigation reserves, that the legal actions, proceedings and investigations currently pending against it should not have a material adverse effect on JPMorgan Chase's consolidated financial condition. However, in light of the uncertainties involved in such proceedings, actions and investigations, there is no assurance that the ultimate resolution of these matters will not significantly exceed the reserves currently accrued by JPMorgan Chase; as a result, the outcome of a particular matter may be material to JPMorgan Chase's operating results for a particular period, depending on, among other factors, the size of the loss or liability imposed and the level of JPMorgan Chase's income for that period.

Save as disclosed in the section entitled "JPMorgan Chase & Co. - Litigation" in the Base Prospectus as updated by the disclosure above, the Issuer is not and has not been involved in any governmental, legal or arbitration proceedings relating to claims or amounts that are material during the 12 month period ending on the date of this Prospectus which may have, or have had in the recent past, significant effects on the financial position or profitability of the Issuer nor, so far as the Issuer is aware, are any such governmental, legal or arbitration proceedings pending or threatened.
