What Is the Total Return on the Notes at
Maturity, Assuming a Range of Performances for the Reference
Stock?
The
following table illustrates the hypothetical total return at maturity on the
notes. The total return as used in this term sheet is the number, expressed
as a percentage, that results from comparing the payment at maturity per $1,000
principal amount note to $1,000. The hypothetical total returns set forth
below assume an Initial Share Price of $90.00, a Contingent Minimum Return of 14.90%
and a Maximum Return of 20.00% and reflect the Knock-Out Buffer Amount of 25.00%.
The hypothetical total returns set forth below are for illustrative purposes
only and may not be the actual total returns applicable to a purchaser of the
notes. The numbers appearing in the following table and examples have been
rounded for ease of analysis.

Hypothetical Examples of Amounts Payable at Maturity
The
following examples illustrate how the total returns set forth in the table above
are calculated.
Example
1: A Knock-Out Event has not occurred, and the closing price of one share of the
Reference Stock increases from the Initial Share Price of $90.00 to a Final
Share Price of $94.50.
Because a Knock-Out Event has not occurred and the Share Return of 5% is less
than the hypothetical Contingent Minimum Return of 14.90%, the investor
receives a payment at maturity of $1,490.00 per $1,000 principal amount note.
Example 2: A Knock-Out Event has not occurred, and the closing
price of one share of the Reference Stock decreases from the Initial Share
Price of $90.00 to a Final Share Price of $85.50
. Because a
Knock-Out Event has not occurred and the Share Return of -5% is less than the
hypothetical Contingent Minimum Return of 14.90%, the investor receives a
payment at maturity of $1,490.00 per $1,000 principal amount note.
Example 3: A Knock-Out Event has not
occurred, and the closing price of one share of the Reference Stock increases
from the Initial Share Price of $90.00 to a Final Share Price of $103.50.
Because a
Knock-Out Event has not occurred and the Share Return of 15% is greater than
the hypothetical Contingent Minimum Return of 14.90% but less than the
hypothetical Maximum Return of 20.00%, the investor receives a payment at
maturity of $1,150 per $1,000 principal amount note, calculated as follows:
$1,000 + ($1,000 × 15%) = $1,150
Example 4: A Knock-Out Event has occurred, and the closing
price of one share of the Reference Stock decreases from the Initial Share
Price of $90.00 to a Final Share Price of $81.00
. Because a
Knock-Out Event has occurred and the Share Return is -10%, the investor
receives a payment at maturity of $900 per $1,000 principal amount note,
calculated as follows:
$1,000 + ($1,000 × -10%) = $900

|
Example 5: A Knock-Out Event has occurred,
and the closing price of one share of the Reference Stock increases from the Initial
Share Price of $90.00 to a Final Share Price of $103.50
. Because a
Knock-Out Event has occurred and the Share Return of 15% is less than the
hypothetical Maximum Return of 20.00%, the investor receives a payment at maturity
of $1,150 per $1,000 principal amount note, calculated as follows:
$1,000 + ($1,000 × 15%) = $1,150
Example 6: The closing price of one
share of the Reference Stock increases from the Initial Share Price of $90.00
to a Final Share Price of $135.00.
Because the Share Return of 50% is greater than the hypothetical
Maximum Return of 20.00%, regardless of whether a Knock-Out Event has occurred,
the investor receives a payment at maturity of $1,200 per $1,000 principal
amount note, the hypothetical maximum payment on the notes.
Selected Purchase Considerations
-
CAPPED APPRECIATION POTENTIAL
The notes provide the opportunity to
participate in the appreciation of the Reference Stock, up to the Maximum
Return of at least 20.00% at
maturity.
If a
Knock-Out Event has
not
occurred
,
in addition to the principal amount, you will receive at maturity at
least the Contingent
Minimum Return of not less than 14.90% on the notes, or a minimum payment at
maturity of at least $1,149.00 for every $1,000 principal amount note.
Even
if a Knock-Out Event has occurred, if the Final Share Price is greater than the
Initial Share Price, in addition to the principal amount, you will receive at
maturity a return on the notes equal to the Share Return, subject to the
Maximum Return of at least 20.00%. The maximum payment at maturity is at least
$1,200 per $1,000 principal amount note, regardless of whether a Knock-Out
Event has occurred
. The actual Contingent Minimum Return and Maximum
Return will be set on the pricing date and will not be less than 14.90% and 20.00%,
respectively. Because the notes are our senior unsecured obligations, payment
of any amount at maturity is subject to our ability to pay our obligations as
they become due.
-
RETURN LINKED TO A SINGLE REFERENCE
STOCK
The return
on the notes is linked to the performance of a single Reference Stock, which is
the common stock of Deere. For additional information see The Reference
Stock in this term sheet.
-
CAPITAL GAINS TAX TREATMENT
Y
ou should review carefully the section entitled
Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences in the accompanying product
supplement no. 195-A-I. Subject to the limitations described therein, and
based on certain factual representations received from us, in the opinion of
our special tax counsel, Davis Polk & Wardwell
LLP
, it is reasonable to
treat the notes as open transactions for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
Assuming this characterization is respected, the gain or loss on your notes
should be treated as long-term capital gain or loss if you hold your notes for
more than a year, whether or not you are an initial purchaser of notes at the
issue price. However, the Internal Revenue Service (the IRS) or a court may
not respect this characterization or treatment of the notes, in which case the
timing and character of any income or loss on the notes could be significantly
and adversely affected. In addition, in 2007 Treasury and the IRS released a
notice requesting comments on the U.S. federal income tax treatment of prepaid
forward contracts and similar instruments, such as the notes. The notice
focuses in particular on whether to require holders of these instruments to
accrue income over the term of their investment. It also asks for comments on
a number of related topics, including the character of income or loss with
respect to these instruments; the relevance of factors such as the nature of
the underlying property to which the instruments are linked; the degree, if
any, to which income (including any mandated accruals) realized by Non-U.S.
Holders should be subject to withholding tax; and whether these instruments are
or should be subject to the constructive ownership regime, which very
generally can operate to recharacterize certain long-term capital gain as
ordinary income and impose an interest charge. While the notice requests
comments on appropriate transition rules and effective dates, any Treasury
regulations or other guidance promulgated after consideration of these issues
could materially and adversely affect the tax consequences of an investment in
the notes, possibly with retroactive effect. Both U.S. and Non-U.S. Holders
should consult their tax advisers regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an
investment in the notes, including possible alternative treatments and the
issues presented by this notice. Non-U.S. Holders should also note that they
may be withheld upon at a rate of up to 30% unless they have submitted a
properly completed IRS Form W-8BEN or otherwise satisfied the applicable
documentation requirements.
The discussion in the
preceding paragraph, when read in combination with the section entitled
Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences in the accompanying product
supplement, constitutes the full opinion of Davis Polk & Wardwell
LLP
regarding the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of owning and disposing of notes.
Selected
Risk Considerations
An investment in the notes involves
significant risks. Investing in the notes is not equivalent to investing
directly in the Reference Stock. These risks are explained in more detail in
the Risk Factors section of the accompanying product supplement no. 195-A-I dated
July 19, 2010.
-
YOUR INVESTMENT IN THE NOTES MAY
RESULT IN A LOSS
The
notes do not guarantee any return of principal. The return on the notes at
maturity is linked to the performance of the Reference Stock and will depend on
whether a Knock-Out Event has occurred and whether, and the extent to which, the
Share Return is positive or negative. If the closing price of one share of the
Reference Stock is less than the Initial Share Price by more than the Knock-Out
Buffer Amount of 25.00% on any day during the Monitoring Period, a Knock-Out
Event has occurred, and the protection provided by the Knock-Out Buffer Amount of
25.00% will terminate. Under these circumstances, you could lose some or all
of your principal.

-
YOUR MAXIMUM GAIN ON THE NOTES IS LIMITED TO THE
MAXIMUM RETURN
If the Final Share
Price is greater than the Initial Share Price, for each $1,000 principal amount
note, you will receive at maturity $1,000 plus an additional return that will
not exceed a predetermined percentage of the principal amount, regardless of
the appreciation in the Reference Stock, which may be significant. We refer to
this predetermined percentage as the Maximum Return, which will be set on the
pricing date and will not be less than 20.00%.
-
CREDIT RISK OF JPMORGAN CHASE &
CO.
The notes are subject to the credit
risk of JPMorgan Chase & Co. and our credit ratings and credit spreads may
adversely affect the market value of the notes. Investors are dependent on JPMorgan
Chase & Co.s ability to pay all amounts due on the notes at maturity, and
therefore investors are subject to our credit risk and to changes in the
markets view of our creditworthiness. Any decline in our credit ratings or
increase in the credit spreads charged by the market for taking our credit risk
is likely to affect adversely the value of the notes.
-
POTENTIAL CONFLICTS
We and our affiliates play a
variety of roles in connection with the issuance of the notes, including acting
as calculation agent and hedging our obligations under the notes. In
performing these duties, the economic interests of the calculation agent and
other affiliates of ours are potentially adverse to your interests as an
investor in the notes.
We and/or our affiliates may also
currently or from time to time engage in business with Deere, including
extending loans to, or making equity investments in, Deere or providing
advisory services to Deere. In addition, one or more of our affiliates may
publish research reports or otherwise express opinions with respect to Deere,
and these reports may or may not recommend that investors buy or hold the
Reference Stock. As a prospective purchaser of the notes, you should undertake
an independent investigation of the Reference Stock issuer that in your
judgment is appropriate to make an informed decision with respect to an
investment in the notes.
-
YOUR PROTECTION MAY TERMINATE ON ANY DAY
DURING THE MONITORING PERIOD
If the closing price of one share of the Reference Stock on any day
during the Monitoring Period is less than the Initial Share Price by more than
the Knock-Out Buffer Amount of 25.00%, you will at maturity be fully exposed to
any depreciation in the Reference Stock. We refer to this feature as a
contingent buffer. Under these circumstances, if the Final Share Price is less
than the Initial Share Price, you will lose 1% of the principal amount of your
investment for every 1% that the Final Share Price is less than the Initial
Share Price. You will be subject to this potential loss of principal even if
the Reference Stock subsequently increases such that the closing price of one
share of the Reference Stock is less than the Initial Share Price by not more
than the Knock-Out Buffer Amount of 25.00%, or is equal to or greater than the Initial
Share Price. If these notes had a non-contingent buffer feature, under the
same scenario, you would have received the full principal amount of your notes
plus the Contingent Minimum Return at maturity. As a result, your investment
in the notes may not perform as well as an investment in a security with a
return that includes a non-contingent buffer.
-
YOUR ABILITY TO RECEIVE THE
CONTINGENT MINIMUM RETURN OF 14.90%* MAY TERMINATE ON ANY DAY DURING THE MONITORING
PERIOD
If the closing
price of one share of the Reference Stock on any day during the Monitoring
Period is less than the Initial Share Price by more than the Knock-Out Buffer
Amount of 25.00%, you will not be entitled to receive the Contingent Minimum
Return of 14.90%* on the notes. Under these circumstances, you may lose some
or all of your investment at maturity and will be fully exposed to any
depreciation in the Reference Stock.
* The actual Contingent Minimum Return on the notes will be set on the pricing
date and will not be less than 14.90%.
-
CERTAIN BUILT-IN COSTS ARE LIKELY TO
AFFECT ADVERSELY THE VALUE OF THE NOTES PRIOR TO MATURITY
While the payment at maturity
described in this term sheet is based on the full principal amount of your
notes, the original issue price of the notes includes the agents commission
and the estimated cost of hedging our obligations under the notes. As a
result, the price, if any, at which J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, which we refer
to as JPMS, will be willing to purchase notes from you in secondary market
transactions, if at all, will likely be lower than the original issue price,
and any sale prior to the maturity date could result in a substantial loss to
you. The notes are not designed to be short-term trading instruments.
Accordingly, you should be able and willing to hold your notes to maturity.
-
NO OWNERSHIP OR DIVIDEND RIGHTS IN
THE REFERENCE STOCK
As a holder of the notes, you will not have any ownership interest or rights
in the Reference Stock, such as voting rights or dividend payments. In
addition, the issuer of the Reference Stock will not have any obligation to
consider your interests as a holder of the notes in taking any corporate action
that might affect the value of the Reference Stock and the notes.
-
NO AFFILIATION WITH THE REFERENCE
STOCK ISSUER
We
are not affiliated with the issuer of the Reference Stock. We assume no
responsibility for the adequacy of the information about the Reference Stock
issuer contained in this term sheet. You should undertake your own
investigation into the Reference Stock and its issuer. We are not responsible
for the Reference Stock issuers public disclosure of information, whether
contained in SEC filings or otherwise.

SINGLE STOCK RISK
The price of the Reference Stock can fall sharply due to factors
specific to the Reference Stock and its issuer, such as stock price volatility,
earnings, financial conditions, corporate, industry and regulatory
developments, management changes and decisions and other events, as well as

NO INTEREST PAYMENTS
As a holder of the notes, you will not receive any
interest payments.
-
RISK OF KNOCK-OUT EVENT OCCURRING IS GREATER IF THE CLOSING PRICE
OF THE REFERENCE STOCK IS VOLATILE
The likelihood that the closing price of one share of the Reference Stock will
be less than the Initial Share Price by more than the Knock-Out Buffer Amount
of 25.00% on any day during the Monitoring Period, thereby triggering a
Knock-Out Event, will depend in large part on the volatility of the closing
price of the Reference Stock the frequency and magnitude of changes in the closing
price of the Reference Stock.
-
LACK OF LIQUIDITY
The notes will not be listed on any securities
exchange. JPMS intends to offer to purchase the notes in the secondary market
but is not required to do so. Even if there is a secondary market, it may not
provide enough liquidity to allow you to trade or sell the notes easily.
Because other dealers are not likely to make a secondary market for the notes,
the price at which you may be able to trade your notes is likely to depend on
the price, if any, at which JPMS is willing to buy the notes.
-
HEDGING AND TRADING IN THE REFERENCE STOCK
While the notes are outstanding, we or any of our
affiliates may carry out hedging activities related to the notes, including in
the Reference Stock or instruments related to the Reference Stock. We or our
affiliates may also trade in the Reference Stock or instruments related to the
Reference Stock from time to time. Any of these hedging or trading activities
as of the pricing date and during the term of the notes could adversely affect
our payment to you at maturity.

IS LIMITED
The calculation agent
will make adjustments to the Stock Adjustment Factor for certain corporate
events affecting the Reference Stock. However, the calculation agent will not
make an adjustment in response to all events that could affect the Reference
Stock. If an event occurs that does not require the calculation agent to make
an adjustment, the value of the notes may be materially and adversely affected.
-
MANY ECONOMIC AND MARKET FACTORS WILL
IMPACT THE VALUE OF THE NOTES
In
addition to the closing price of one share of the Reference Stock on any day,
the value of the notes will be affected by a number of economic and market
factors that may either offset or magnify each other, including:
-
the expected volatility in the closing price of the Reference
Stock;

the time to maturity of the notes;
-
whether a Knock-Out Event has occurred;
-
the dividend rate on the Reference Stock;
