General
-
The notes are designed for investors
who seek a higher interest rate than the current yield on a conventional debt
security with the same maturity issued by us or an issuer with a comparable
credit rating. Investors should be willing to forgo the potential to
participate in the appreciation of either the S&P 500
®
Index or
the Russell 2000
®
Index and to forgo dividend payments. Investors
should be willing to assume the risk that the notes may be called and the
investors will receive less interest if the notes are called and the risk that,
if the notes are not called, they may lose some or all of their principal at
maturity.
-
The notes will pay between 6.50%* and
7.50%* per annum interest over the term of the notes.
However
,
the
notes do not guarantee any return of principal at maturity
.
Instead, if
the notes are not called, the payment at maturity will be based on the
performance of the Lesser Performing Underlying and whether the Ending
Underlying Level of either Underlying is less than its Starting Underlying
Level by more than the Protection Amount. Any payment on the notes is subject
to the credit risk of JPMorgan Chase & Co.
-
The notes may be called, in whole but
not in part, at our option on any of the Optional Call Dates set forth below.
If the notes are called pursuant to an Optional Call, payment on the Optional
Call Date for each $1,000 principal amount note will be a cash payment of
$1,000, plus any accrued and unpaid interest, as described below.
-
Senior unsecured obligations of
JPMorgan Chase & Co. maturing November 27, 2012*
-
The payment at maturity is
not
linked to a basket composed of the Underlyings. The payment at maturity is
linked to the performance of each of the Underlyings individually, as described
below.
-
Minimum denominations of $10,000 and
integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof

The terms of the notes as set forth in
Key Terms below, including those set forth under Key Terms Payment at

|
Payment at Maturity:
|
If the notes are not called, the
payment at maturity, in excess of any accrued and unpaid interest, will be

interest at maturity,
unless
a Trigger Event has occurred.

such Underlying. Under these circumstances, your payment at maturity per
$1,000 principal amount note, in addition to any accrued and unpaid interest,
will be calculated as follows:

If
the notes priced today, J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, which we refer to as
JPMS, acting as agent for JPMorgan Chase & Co., would receive a
commission of approximately $25.00 per $1,000 principal amount note and would
use a portion of that commission to allow selling concessions to other affiliated
or unaffiliated dealers of approximately $15.00 per $1,000 principal amount
note. The concessions of approximately $15.00 per $1,000 principal amount
note include concessions to be allowed to selling dealers and concessions to
be allowed to any arranging dealer. This commission includes the projected
profits that our affiliates expect to realize, some of which may be allowed
to other unaffiliated dealers, for assuming risks inherent in hedging our
obligations under the notes. The actual commission received by JPMS may be
more or less than $25.00 and will depend on market conditions on the Pricing
Date. In no event will the commission received by JPMS, which includes
concessions and other amounts that may be allowed to other dealers, exceed
$40.00 per $1,000 principal amount note. See Plan of Distribution

Supplemental Terms of the Notes
For purposes of the notes offered by
this term sheet, the concept of a Monitoring Period, as described in the
accompanying product supplement no. 192-A-III, is not applicable. Instead,
whether a Trigger Event has occurred and your payment, at maturity, if any, will
depend on the closing level of each Underlying on a single day (the Observation
Date) only, which we also refer to as the Ending Underlying Level. See Key
Terms Payment at Maturity and Key Terms Trigger Event in this term sheet
for more information. Accordingly, you should disregard the definition for the
Monitoring Period in the accompanying product supplement no. 192-A-III, and
you should deem references in the accompanying product supplement no. 192-A-III
to (i) the Monitoring Period to be the Observation Date, and (ii) on any
day during the Monitoring Period or during the Monitoring Period to be on
the Observation Date.
Selected Purchase Considerations
-
THE NOTES OFFER A HIGHER INTEREST RATE
THAN THE YIELD ON DEBT SECURITIES OF COMPARABLE MATURITY ISSUED BY US OR AN
ISSUER WITH A COMPARABLE CREDIT RATING
T
he notes will pay interest at a rate of between 6.50% and
7.50% per annum over the term of the notes, which is higher than the yield
currently available on debt securities of comparable maturity issued by us or
an issuer with a comparable credit rating. The actual interest rate will be
determined on the Pricing Date and will not be less than 6.50% or greater than
7.50% per annum. Because the notes are our senior unsecured obligations, any
interest payment or any payment at maturity is subject to our ability to pay
our obligations as they become due.
-
MONTHLY INTEREST PAYMENTS
The notes offer monthly
interest payments at a rate of between 6.50% and
7.50% per annum
over the term of the notes. Interest will be
payable monthly in arrears on the 26th calendar day

of each month, except for
the final monthly interest payment, which will be payable on the Maturity Date
or the relevant Optional Call Date, as applicable (each such day, an Interest
Payment Date), commencing September 26, 2011. Interest will be payable to the
holders of record at the close of business on the business day immediately
preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date or the applicable Optional Call
Date, as applicable. If an Interest Payment Date or Optional Call Date is not
a business day, payment will be made on the next business day immediately
following such day, but no additional interest will accrue as a result of the
delayed payment. For example, the monthly Interest Payment Date for November 2011
is (which is also the first Optional Call Date) November 26, 2011, but because
November 26, 2011 is a Saturday, payment of interest with respect to that
Interest Payment Date/Optional Call Date will be made on November 28, 2011, the
next succeeding business day.
-
POTENTIAL EARLY EXIT AS A RESULT OF THE OPTIONAL
CALL FEATURE
If the notes are called pursuant to an Optional Call, on the applicable
Optional
Call Date, for each $1,000 principal amount
note, you will receive $1,000 plus accrued and unpaid interest to but excluding
the applicable
Optional
Call Date.
-
THE NOTES DO NOT GUARANTEE THE RETURN
OF YOUR PRINCIPAL
IF THE NOTES ARE NOT CALLED
If the notes are not called,
we will pay you your principal back at maturity only if a Trigger Event has not
occurred.
A Trigger Event
occurs if the Ending Underlying Level of either Underlying is less than the
Starting Underlying Level of such Underlying by more than the applicable
Protection Amount. However, if the notes are not called and a Trigger Event
has occurred, you could lose the entire principal amount of your notes.
-
EXPOSURE TO EACH OF THE UNDERLYINGS
The return on the notes is linked to
the Lesser Performing Underlying, which will be either the S&P 500
®
Index or the
Russell 2000
®
Index
.
The S&P 500
®
Index
consists of 500 component stocks selected to provide a performance benchmark
for the U.S. equity markets. For additional information on the S&P 500
®
Index, see the information set forth under The S&P 500
®
Index
in the accompanying product supplement no. 192-A-III.
The Russell 2000
®
Index consists of the middle 2,000 companies included in the Russell 3000
Index and, as a result of the index calculation methodology, consists of the
smallest 2,000 companies included in the Russell 3000
®
Index. The
Russell 2000
®
Index is designed to track the performance of the
small capitalization segment of the U.S. equity market. For additional
information on the Russell 2000
®
Index, see the information set
forth under The Russell 2000
®
Index in the accompanying product
supplement no. 192-A-III.
-
TAX TREATMENT AS A UNIT
COMPRISING A PUT OPTION AND A DEPOSIT
You should review
carefully the section entitled Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences
in the accompanying product supplement no. 192-A-III. By purchasing the notes
you agree (in the absence of an administrative determination or judicial ruling
to the contrary) to treat (i) the notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes as
units comprising: (x) a Put Option written by you that is terminated if an
Optional Call occurs and that, if not terminated, in circumstances where the
payment at maturity is less than $1,000 (excluding accrued and unpaid interest)
requires you to pay us an amount equal to $1,000 multiplied by the absolute
value of the Lesser Performing Underlying Return and (y) a Deposit of $1,000
per $1,000 principal amount note to secure your potential obligation under the
Put Option and (ii) each interest payment consistently with the allocation
described below. We will follow this approach in determining our reporting
responsibilities, if any. We will determine the portion of each interest
payment that we will allocate to interest on the Deposit and to Put Premium,
respectively, and will provide that allocation in the pricing supplement for
the notes. If the notes had priced on July 22, 2011, and assuming an interest
rate of 6.50% per annum, we would have allocated approximately 13.77% of each
interest payment to interest on the Deposit and the remainder to Put Premium.
The actual allocation that we will determine for the notes may differ from this
hypothetical allocation, and will depend upon a variety of factors, including
actual market conditions and our borrowing costs for debt instruments of
comparable maturities on the Pricing Date. Assuming this characterization is
respected, amounts treated as interest on the Deposit will be taxed as ordinary
income, while the Put Premium will not be taken into account prior to sale or
settlement, including a settlement following an Optional Call. However, there
are other reasonable treatments that the Internal Revenue Service (the IRS)
or a court may adopt, 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.
While it is not clear whether the notes would be viewed as similar to the
typical prepaid forward contract described in the notice, it is possible that
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. The notice focuses
on a number of issues, the most relevant of which for holders of the notes are
the character of income or loss (including whether the Put Premium might be
currently included as ordinary income) and the degree, if any, to which income
realized by Non-U.S. Holders should be subject to withholding tax. Both U.S. and Non-U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisers regarding all aspects of 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. Purchasers who are not
initial purchasers of notes at the issue price should also consult their tax
advisers with respect to the tax consequences of an investment in the notes,
including possible alternative characterizations, as well as the allocation of
the purchase price of the notes between the Deposit and the Put Option.
Selected Risk
Considerations
An investment in the notes involves
significant risks. Investing in the notes is not equivalent to investing
directly in either or both of the Underlyings or any of the equity securities included in the Underlyings. These
risks are explained in more detail in the Risk Factors section of the
accompanying product supplement no. 192-A-III dated March 10, 2011.
-
YOUR INVESTMENT IN THE NOTES MAY RESULT
IN A LOSS
The notes do not
guarantee any return of principal. If the notes are not called, we will pay
you your principal back at maturity only if a Trigger Event has not occurred.
If the notes are not called and a Trigger Event has occurred, you will lose 1%
of your principal amount at maturity for every 1% that the Ending Underlying
Level of the Lesser Performing Underlying is less than the Starting Underlying
Level of such Underlying.
Accordingly, you could lose up to the entire
principal amount of your notes.

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 or on any
Optional Call Date and on the Interest Payment Dates, 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 adversely
affect 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. 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. In addition, we are currently one of
the companies that make up the S&P 500
®
Index. We 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 S&P 500
®
Index and the notes.
-
YOUR RETURN ON THE NOTES IS LIMITED TO
THE PRINCIPAL AMOUNT PLUS ACCRUED INTEREST REGARDLESS OF ANY APPRECIATION IN
THE VALUE OF EITHER UNDERLYING
If the notes are not called and
a Trigger Event has not occurred, for
each $1,000 principal amount note, you will receive $1,000 at maturity plus any
accrued and unpaid interest, regardless of any appreciation in the value of
either Underlying, which may be significant. If the notes are called, for each
$1,000 principal amount note, you will receive $1,000 on the applicable
Optional Call Date plus any accrued and unpaid interest, regardless of the
appreciation in the value of the Underlyings, which may be significant.
Accordingly, the return on the notes may be significantly less than the return
on a direct investment in either Underlying during the term of the notes.
-
YOU ARE EXPOSED TO THE RISK OF DECLINE
IN THE CLOSING LEVEL OF EACH UNDERLYING
Your return on the notes and your payment at maturity, if
any, is not linked to a basket consisting of the Underlyings. If the notes are
not called, your payment at maturity is contingent upon the performance of each
individual Underlying such that you will be equally exposed to the risks
related to
both
of the Underlyings. Poor performance by either
of the Underlyings over the term of the notes may negatively affect your
payment at maturity and will not be offset or mitigated by positive performance
by the other Underlying. Accordingly, your investment is subject to the risk
of decline in the closing level of each Underlying.
-
YOUR PAYMENT AT MATURITY MAY BE
DETERMINED BY THE LESSER PERFORMING UNDERLYING
If the notes are not called and a
Trigger Event occurs, you will lose some or all of your investment in the
notes. This will be true even if the Ending Underlying Level of one of the
Underlyings is greater than or equal to its Starting Underlying Level. The two
Underlyings respective performances may not be correlated and, as a result, if
the notes are not called, you may receive the principal amount of your notes at
maturity only if there is a broad-based rise in the performance of U.S. equities during the term of the notes.
-
THE OPTIONAL CALL FEATURE MAY FORCE A
POTENTIAL EARLY EXIT
Upon an Optional Call
, the amount of interest payable on the
notes will be less than the full amount of interest that would have been
payable if the notes were held to maturity, and, for each $1,000 principal
amount note, you will receive $1,000 plus accrued and unpaid interest to but
excluding the applicable Optional Call Date.
-
REINVESTMENT RISK
If your notes are called, the term
of the notes may be reduced to as short as three months and you will not
receive interest payments after the applicable Optional Call Date. There is no
guarantee that you would be able to reinvest the proceeds from an investment in
the notes at a comparable return and/or with a comparable interest rate for a
similar level of risk in the event the notes are called prior to the Maturity
Date.
-
CERTAIN BUILT-IN COSTS ARE LIKELY TO
AFFECT ADVERSELY THE VALUE OF THE NOTES PRIOR TO MATURITY
While the payment at maturity, if any,
or upon a call 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, and as a general matter, the price, if any, at which 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. This secondary
market price will also be affected by a number of factors aside from the
agents commission and hedging costs, including those referred to under Many
Economic and Market Factors Will Influence the Value of the Notes below.
The notes are not designed
to be short-term trading instruments. Accordingly, you should be able and
willing to hold your notes to maturity.
-
PROTECTION
AMOUNT APPLIES ONLY IF YOU HOLD THE NOTES TO MATURITY
Assuming the notes are not called,
we will pay you your principal back at maturity only if the Ending Underlying
Level of each Underlying is not less than its Starting Underlying Level by more
than the applicable Protection Amount. If the notes are not called and a
Trigger Event has occurred, you will be fully exposed at maturity to any
decline in the value of the Lesser Performing Underlying.
-
VOLATILITY RISK
Greater expected volatility with
respect to an Underlying indicates a greater likelihood as of the Pricing Date
that the Ending Underlying Level of such Underlying could be less than its
Starting Underlying Level by more than the applicable Protection Amount. An
Underlyings volatility, however, can change significantly over the term of the
notes. The closing level of an Underlying could fall sharply on the
Observation Date, which could result in a significant loss of principal
.
-
AN INVESTMENT IN THE NOTES IS SUBJECT
TO RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH SMALL CAPITALIZATION STOCKS
The stocks that constitute the
Russell 2000
®
Index are issued by companies with relatively small
market capitalization. The stock prices of smaller companies may be more
volatile than stock prices of large capitalization companies. Small
capitalization companies may be less able to withstand adverse economic,
market, trade and competitive conditions relative to larger companies. Small
capitalization companies are less likely to pay dividends on their stocks, and
the presence of a dividend payment could be a factor that limits downward stock
price pressure under adverse market conditions.
-
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.
-
NO DIVIDEND PAYMENTS OR VOTING RIGHTS
As a holder of the notes, you will
not have voting rights or rights to receive cash dividends or other
distributions or other rights that holders of the securities included in the
Underlyings would have.
-
HEDGING AND TRADING IN THE UNDERLYINGS
While the notes are outstanding, we or
any of our affiliates may carry out hedging activities related to the notes,
including the equity securities included in the Underlyings. We or our
affiliates may also trade in the equity securities included in the Underlyings
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 the
likelihood of an Optional Call or our payment to you at maturity. It is
possible that such hedging or trading activities could result in substantial
returns for us or our affiliates while the value of the notes declines.
-
MANY
ECONOMIC AND MARKET FACTORS WILL INFLUENCE THE VALUE OF THE NOTES
In
addition to the levels of the Underlyings 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:
-
whether
a Trigger Event is expected to occur;
-
the
interest rate on the notes;

What Is the Total Return on the Notes at Maturity, Assuming a Range of Performances for the Lesser Performing Underlying?
The following table and examples illustrate the hypothetical total
return at maturity on the notes. The note total return as used in this term
sheet is the number, expressed as a percentage, that results from comparing the
payment at maturity plus the interest payments received over the term of the
notes per $1,000 principal amount note to $1,000.
The table and examples
below assume that the notes are not called prior to maturity and that the Lesser
Performing Underlying is the S&P 500
®
Index. We make no
representation or warranty as to which of the Underlyings will be the Lesser
Performing Underlying for purposes of calculating your actual payment at
maturity.
In addition, the following table and examples assume a Starting
Underlying Level for the Lesser Performing Underlying of 1350 and an Interest
Rate of 7.00% per annum (
the midpoint of
the range of 6.50% to 7.50% per annum)
over the term of the notes and reflect the Protection Amount of
25.00%.
If the actual
Interest Rate as determined on the Pricing Date is less than 7.00% per annum,
your note total return and total payment over the term of the notes will be
less than the amounts indicated below. In addition, if the notes are called
prior to maturity, your note total return and total payment may be less than
the amounts indicated below.
The hypothetical note total returns and total
payments set forth below are for illustrative purposes only and may not be the
actual note total returns or total payments applicable to a purchaser of the
notes. The numbers appearing in the following table and examples have been
rounded for ease of analysis.

(1) A Trigger Event occurs if the Ending Underlying
Level of either Underlying is less than the Starting Underlying Level of such
Underlying by more than 25.00%.
The following examples illustrate how the note total returns
and total payments set forth in the table above are calculated.
Example 1: The level of the Lesser Performing
Underlying increases from the Starting Underlying Level of 1350 to an Ending
Underlying Level of 1417.50 a Trigger Event has not occurred.
Because the notes are not called prior to maturity and
a Trigger Event has not occurred, the investor receives total payments of
$1,087.50 per $1,000 principal amount note over the term of the notes,
consisting of interest payments of $87.50 per $1,000 principal amount note over
the term of the notes and a payment at maturity of $1,000 per $1,000 principal
amount note.
This represents the maximum total payment an investor may
receive over the term of the notes
.
Example 2: The level of the Lesser Performing
Underlying decreases from the Starting Underlying Level of 1350 to an Ending
Underlying Level of 1080 a Trigger Event has not occurred.
Because the notes are not called prior to maturity and
a Trigger Event has not occurred, even though the Ending Underlying Level of
the Lesser Performing Underlying of 1080 is less than its Starting Underlying
Level of 1350, the investor receives total
payments of $1,087.50 per $1,000 principal amount note over the term of the
notes, consisting of interest payments of $87.50 per $1,000 principal amount
note over the term of the notes and a payment at maturity of $1,000 per $1,000
principal amount note.
This represents the maximum total payment an
investor may receive over the term of the notes
.

Example 3: The level of the Lesser Performing
Underlying decreases from the Starting Underlying Level of 1350 to an Ending Underlying
Level of 810 a Trigger Event has occurred.
Because the notes are not called prior to maturity and a
Trigger Event has occurred, the investor
receives total payments of $687.50 per $1,000 principal amount note over the
term of the notes, consisting of interest payments of $87.50 per $1,000
principal amount note over the term of the notes and a payment at maturity of $600
per $1,000 principal amount note, calculated as follows:
[$1,000 + ($1,000 × -40%)] + $87.50 = $687.50
Example 4: The level of the Lesser Performing
Underlying decreases from the Starting Underlying Level of 1350 to an Ending
Underlying Level of 0 a Trigger Event has occurred.
Because the notes are not called prior to maturity and
a Trigger Event has occurred, the investor
receives total payments of $87.50 per $1,000 principal amount note over the
term of the notes, consisting solely of interest payments of $87.50 per $1,000
principal amount note over the term of the notes, calculated as follows:
[$1,000 + ($1,000 × -100%)] + $87.50= $87.50
These returns and the payouts on the notes shown above do not
reflect fees or expenses that would be associated with any sale in the
secondary market. If these fees and expenses were included, the hypothetical
total returns and payouts shown above would likely be lower.
Supplemental
Plan of Distribution
We
expect that delivery of the notes will be made against payment for the notes on
or about the settlement date set forth on the front cover of this term sheet,
which will be the fifth business day following the expected Pricing Date of the
notes (this settlement cycle being referred to as T+5). Under Rule 15c6-1 under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, trades in the secondary market
generally are required to settle in three business days, unless the parties to
that trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade
notes on the Pricing Date or the succeeding business day will be required to
specify an alternate settlement cycle at the time of any such trade to prevent
a failed settlement and should consult their own advisors.
