Hypothetical Payout Profile
The following table and graph illustrate the hypothetical total
return and payment at maturity on the notes linked to two
hypothetical Indices. The “total return” as used in this pricing
supplement 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 and payments set
forth below assume the following:
|
· |
an Initial Value for the Lesser Performing Index of
100.00; |
|
· |
an Upside Leverage Factor of 2.51; and |
|
· |
a Barrier Amount for the Lesser Performing Index of 70.00
(equal to 70.00% of its hypothetical Initial Value). |
The hypothetical Initial Value of the Lesser Performing Index of
100.00 has been chosen for illustrative purposes only and does not
represent the actual Initial Value of either Index. The actual
Initial Value of each Index is the closing level of that Index on
the Pricing Date and is specified under “Key Terms — Initial Value”
in this pricing supplement. For historical data regarding the
actual closing levels of each Index, please see the historical
information set forth under “The Indices” in this pricing
supplement.
Each hypothetical total return or hypothetical payment at maturity
set forth below is for illustrative purposes only and may not be
the actual total return or payment at maturity applicable to a
purchaser of the notes. The numbers appearing in the following
table and graph have been rounded for ease of analysis.

The following graph demonstrates the hypothetical payments at
maturity on the notes for a sub-set of Lesser Performing Index
Returns detailed in the table above (-80% to 50%). There can be no
assurance that the performance of the Lesser Performing Index will
result in the return of any of your principal amount.

How the Notes Work
Upside Scenario:
If the Final Value of each Index is greater than its Initial Value,
investors will receive at maturity the $1,000 principal amount
plus a return equal to the Lesser Performing Index Return
times the Upside Leverage Factor of 2.51.
|
· |
If the closing level of the Lesser Performing Index increases
10.00%, investors will receive at maturity a 25.10% return, or
$1,251.00 per $1,000 principal amount note. |
Par Scenario:
If the Final Value of either Index is equal to or less than its
Initial Value but the Final Value of each Index is greater than or
equal to its Barrier Amount of 70.00% of its Initial Value,
investors will receive at maturity the principal amount of their
notes.
Downside Scenario:
If the Final Value of either Index is less than its Barrier Amount
of 70.00% of its Initial Value, investors will lose 1% of the
principal amount of their notes for every 1% that the Final Value
of the Lesser Performing Index is less than its Initial Value.
|
· |
For example, if the closing level of the Lesser Performing
Index declines 60.00%, investors will lose 60.00% of their
principal amount and receive only $400.00 per $1,000 principal
amount note at maturity. |
The hypothetical returns and hypothetical payments on the notes
shown above apply only if you hold the notes for their entire
term. These hypotheticals do not reflect the fees or expenses
that would be associated with any sale in the secondary market. If
these fees and expenses were included, the hypothetical returns and
hypothetical payments shown above would likely be lower.
Selected Risk Considerations
An investment in the notes involves significant risks. These risks
are explained in more detail in the “Risk Factors” sections of the
accompanying prospectus supplement, product supplement and
underlying supplement.
Risks Relating to the Notes Generally
|
· |
YOUR INVESTMENT IN THE NOTES MAY RESULT IN A LOSS — |
The notes do not guarantee any return of principal. If the Final
Value of either Index is less than its Barrier Amount, you will
lose 1% of the principal amount of your notes for every 1% that the
Final Value of the Lesser Performing Index is less than its Initial
Value. Accordingly, under these circumstances, you will lose more
than 30.00% of your principal amount at maturity and could lose all
of your principal amount at maturity.

|
 |
|
· |
CREDIT RISKS OF JPMORGAN FINANCIAL AND JPMORGAN CHASE &
CO. — |
Investors are dependent on our and JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s
ability to pay all amounts due on the notes. Any actual or
potential change in our or JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s
creditworthiness or credit spreads, as determined by the market for
taking that credit risk, is likely to adversely affect the value of
the notes. If we and JPMorgan Chase & Co. were to default on
our payment obligations, you may not receive any amounts owed to
you under the notes and you could lose your entire investment.
|
· |
AS A FINANCE SUBSIDIARY, JPMORGAN FINANCIAL HAS NO
INDEPENDENT OPERATIONS AND HAS LIMITED ASSETS — |
As a finance subsidiary of JPMorgan Chase & Co., we have no
independent operations beyond the issuance and administration of
our securities. Aside from the initial capital contribution from
JPMorgan Chase & Co., substantially all of our assets relate to
obligations of our affiliates to make payments under loans made by
us or other intercompany agreements. As a result, we are dependent
upon payments from our affiliates to meet our obligations under the
notes. If these affiliates do not make payments to us and we fail
to make payments on the notes, you may have to seek payment under
the related guarantee by JPMorgan Chase & Co., and that
guarantee will rank pari passu with all other unsecured and
unsubordinated obligations of JPMorgan Chase & Co.
|
· |
YOU ARE EXPOSED TO THE RISK OF DECLINE IN THE LEVEL OF EACH
INDEX — |
Payments on the notes are not linked to a basket composed of the
Indices and are contingent upon the performance of each individual
Index. Poor performance by either of the Indices 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
Index.
|
· |
YOUR PAYMENT AT MATURITY WILL BE DETERMINED BY THE LESSER
PERFORMING INDEX. |
|
· |
THE BENEFIT PROVIDED BY THE BARRIER AMOUNT MAY TERMINATE ON
THE OBSERVATION DATE — |
If the Final Value of either Index is less than its Barrier Amount,
the benefit provided by the Barrier Amount will terminate and you
will be fully exposed to any depreciation of the Lesser Performing
Index.
|
· |
THE NOTES DO NOT PAY INTEREST. |
|
· |
YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE DIVIDENDS ON THE SECURITIES INCLUDED IN
EITHER INDEX OR HAVE ANY RIGHTS WITH RESPECT TO THOSE
SECURITIES. |
|
· |
THE RISK OF THE CLOSING LEVEL OF AN INDEX FALLING BELOW ITS
BARRIER AMOUNT IS GREATER IF THE LEVEL OF THAT INDEX IS
VOLATILE. |
The notes will not be listed on any securities exchange.
Accordingly, 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. You may not be able to sell your notes. The notes
are not designed to be short-term trading instruments. Accordingly,
you should be able and willing to hold your notes to maturity.
Risks Relating to Conflicts of Interest
We and our affiliates play a variety of roles in connection with
the notes. In performing these duties, our and JPMorgan Chase &
Co.’s economic interests are potentially adverse to your interests
as an investor in the notes. It is possible that hedging or trading
activities of ours or our affiliates in connection with the notes
could result in substantial returns for us or our affiliates while
the value of the notes declines. Please refer to “Risk Factors —
Risks Relating to Conflicts of Interest” in the accompanying
product supplement.
Risks Relating to the Estimated Value and Secondary Market
Prices of the Notes
|
· |
THE ESTIMATED VALUE OF THE NOTES IS LOWER THAN THE ORIGINAL
ISSUE PRICE (PRICE TO PUBLIC) OF THE NOTES — |
The estimated value of the notes is only an estimate determined by
reference to several factors. The original issue price of the notes
exceeds the estimated value of the notes because costs associated
with selling, structuring and hedging the notes are included in the
original issue price of the notes. These costs include the selling
commissions, the structuring fee, the projected profits, if any,
that our affiliates expect to realize for assuming risks inherent
in hedging our obligations under the notes and the estimated cost
of hedging our obligations under the notes. See “The Estimated
Value of the Notes” in this pricing supplement.

|
 |
|
· |
THE ESTIMATED VALUE OF THE NOTES DOES NOT REPRESENT FUTURE
VALUES OF THE NOTES AND MAY DIFFER FROM OTHERS’ ESTIMATES
— |
See “The Estimated Value of the Notes” in this pricing
supplement.
|
· |
THE ESTIMATED VALUE OF THE NOTES IS DERIVED BY REFERENCE TO
AN INTERNAL FUNDING RATE — |
The internal funding rate used in the determination of the
estimated value of the notes may differ from the market-implied
funding rate for vanilla fixed income instruments of a similar
maturity issued by JPMorgan Chase & Co. or its affiliates. Any
difference may be based on, among other things, our and our
affiliates’ view of the funding value of the notes as well as the
higher issuance, operational and ongoing liability management costs
of the notes in comparison to those costs for the conventional
fixed income instruments of JPMorgan Chase & Co. This internal
funding rate is based on certain market inputs and assumptions,
which may prove to be incorrect, and is intended to approximate the
prevailing market replacement funding rate for the notes. The use
of an internal funding rate and any potential changes to that rate
may have an adverse effect on the terms of the notes and any
secondary market prices of the notes. See “The Estimated Value of
the Notes” in this pricing supplement.
|
· |
THE VALUE OF THE NOTES AS PUBLISHED BY JPMS (AND WHICH MAY
BE REFLECTED ON CUSTOMER ACCOUNT STATEMENTS) MAY BE HIGHER THAN THE
THEN-CURRENT ESTIMATED VALUE OF THE NOTES FOR A LIMITED TIME PERIOD
— |
We generally expect that some of the costs included in the original
issue price of the notes will be partially paid back to you in
connection with any repurchases of your notes by JPMS in an amount
that will decline to zero over an initial predetermined period. See
“Secondary Market Prices of the Notes” in this pricing supplement
for additional information relating to this initial period.
Accordingly, the estimated value of your notes during this initial
period may be lower than the value of the notes as published by
JPMS (and which may be shown on your customer account
statements).
|
· |
SECONDARY MARKET PRICES OF THE NOTES WILL LIKELY BE LOWER
THAN THE ORIGINAL ISSUE PRICE OF THE NOTES — |
Any secondary market prices of the notes will likely be lower than
the original issue price of the notes because, among other things,
secondary market prices take into account our internal secondary
market funding rates for structured debt issuances and, also,
because secondary market prices (a) exclude the structuring fee and
(b) may exclude selling commissions, projected hedging profits, if
any, and estimated hedging costs that are included in the original
issue price of the notes. As a result, the price, if any, at which
JPMS will be willing to buy the notes from you in secondary market
transactions, if at all, is likely to be lower than the original
issue price. Any sale by you prior to the Maturity Date could
result in a substantial loss to you.
|
· |
SECONDARY MARKET PRICES OF THE NOTES WILL BE IMPACTED BY
MANY ECONOMIC AND MARKET FACTORS — |
The secondary market price of the notes during their term will be
impacted by a number of economic and market factors, which may
either offset or magnify each other, aside from the selling
commissions, structuring fee, projected hedging profits, if any,
estimated hedging costs and the levels of the Indices.
Additionally, independent pricing vendors and/or third party
broker-dealers may publish a price for the notes, which may also be
reflected on customer account statements. This price may be
different (higher or lower) than the price of the notes, if any, at
which JPMS may be willing to purchase your notes in the secondary
market. See “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to the Estimated Value
and Secondary Market Prices of the Notes — Secondary market prices
of the notes will be impacted by many economic and market factors”
in the accompanying product supplement.
Risks Relating to the Indices
|
· |
NON-U.S. SECURITIES RISK — |
The equity securities included in the Indices have been issued by
non-U.S. companies. Investments in securities linked to the
value of such non-U.S. equity securities involve risks associated
with the securities markets in the home countries of the issuers of
those non-U.S. equity securities. Also, there is generally
less publicly available information about companies in some of
these jurisdictions than there is about U.S. companies that are
subject to the reporting requirements of the SEC.
|
· |
NO DIRECT EXPOSURE TO FLUCTUATIONS IN FOREIGN EXCHANGE RATES
WITH RESPECT TO THE EURO STOXX 50®
INDEX — |
The value of your notes will not be adjusted for exchange rate
fluctuations between the U.S. dollar and the currencies upon which
the equity securities included in the EURO STOXX 50®
Index are based, although any currency fluctuations could affect
the performance of the EURO STOXX 50® Index.
PS-5
| Structured Investments
Uncapped Accelerated Barrier Notes Linked to the Lesser Performing

Europe 600 Index
|
 |
|
· |
THE NOTES ARE SUBJECT TO CURRENCY EXCHANGE RISK WITH RESPECT
TO THE STOXX®
EUROPE 600 INDEX — |
Because the prices of the equity securities included in the
STOXX® Europe 600 Index are converted into European
Union euros for purposes of calculating the level of the
STOXX® Europe 600 Index, holders of the notes will be
exposed to currency exchange rate risk with respect to each of the
currencies in which the equity securities included in the
STOXX® Europe 600 Index trade. Your net exposure
will depend on the extent to which those currencies strengthen or
weaken against the European Union euro and the relative weight of
equity securities included in the STOXX® Europe 600
Index denominated in each of those currencies. If, taking
into account the relevant weighting, the European Union euro
strengthens against those currencies, the level of the
STOXX® Europe 600 Index will be adversely affected and
any payment on the notes may be reduced.

Tax Treatment
You should review carefully the section entitled “Material U.S.
Federal Income Tax Consequences” in the accompanying product
supplement no. 4-II. The following discussion, when read in
combination with that section, constitutes the full opinion of our
special tax counsel, Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, regarding the
material U.S. federal income tax consequences of owning and
disposing of notes.
Based on current market conditions, in the opinion of our special
tax counsel it is reasonable to treat the notes as “open
transactions” that are not debt instruments for U.S. federal income
tax purposes, as more fully described in “Material U.S. Federal
Income Tax Consequences — Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders — Notes
Treated as Open Transactions That Are Not Debt Instruments” in the
accompanying product supplement. Assuming this treatment 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 IRS or a court may not respect this
treatment, in which case the timing and character of any income or
loss on the notes could be materially 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. The notice focuses in
particular on whether to require investors in 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. investors
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 a notional
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. You
should consult your tax adviser 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.
The Estimated Value of the Notes
The estimated value of the notes set forth on the cover of this
pricing supplement is equal to the sum of the values of the
following hypothetical components: (1) a fixed-income debt
component with the same maturity as the notes, valued using the
internal funding rate described below, and (2) the derivative or
derivatives underlying the economic terms of the notes. The
estimated value of the notes does not represent a minimum price at
which JPMS would be willing to buy your notes in any secondary
market (if any exists) at any time. The internal funding rate used
in the determination of the estimated value of the notes may differ
from the market-implied funding rate for vanilla fixed income
instruments of a similar maturity issued by JPMorgan Chase &
Co. or its affiliates. Any difference may be based on, among other
things, our and our affiliates’ view of the funding value of the
notes as well as the higher issuance, operational and ongoing
liability management costs of the notes in comparison to those
costs for the conventional fixed income instruments of JPMorgan
Chase & Co. This internal funding rate is based on certain
market inputs and assumptions, which may prove to be incorrect, and
is intended to approximate the prevailing market replacement
funding rate for the notes. The use of an internal funding rate and
any potential changes to that rate may have an adverse effect on
the terms of the notes and any secondary market prices of the
notes. For additional information, see “Selected Risk

Secondary Market Prices of the Notes — The Estimated Value of the
Notes Is Derived by Reference to an Internal Funding Rate” in this
pricing supplement.
The value of the derivative or derivatives underlying the economic
terms of the notes is derived from internal pricing models of our
affiliates. These models are dependent on inputs such as the traded
market prices of comparable derivative instruments and on various
other inputs, some of which are market-observable, and which can
include volatility, dividend rates, interest rates and other
factors, as well as assumptions about future market events and/or
environments. Accordingly, the estimated value of the notes is
determined when the terms of the notes are set based on market
conditions and other relevant factors and assumptions existing at
that time.
The estimated value of the notes does not represent future values
of the notes and may differ from others’ estimates. Different
pricing models and assumptions could provide valuations for the
notes that are greater than or less than the estimated value of the
notes. In addition, market conditions and other relevant factors in
the future may change, and any assumptions may prove to be
incorrect. On future dates, the value of the notes could change
significantly based on, among other things, changes in market
conditions, our or JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s creditworthiness,
interest rate movements and other relevant factors, which may
impact the price, if any, at which JPMS would be willing to buy
notes from you in secondary market transactions.
The estimated value of the notes is lower than the original issue
price of the notes because costs associated with selling,
structuring and hedging the notes are included in the original
issue price of the notes. These costs include the selling
commissions paid to JPMS and other affiliated or unaffiliated
dealers, the structuring fee paid to other affiliated or
unaffiliated dealers, the projected profits, if any, that our
affiliates expect to realize for assuming risks inherent in hedging
our obligations under the notes and the estimated cost of hedging
our obligations under the notes. Because hedging our obligations
entails risk and may be influenced by market forces beyond our
control, this hedging may result in a profit that is more or less
than expected, or it may result in a loss. A portion of the
profits, if any, realized in hedging our obligations under the
notes may be allowed to other affiliated or unaffiliated dealers,
and we or one or more of our affiliates will retain any remaining
hedging profits. See “Selected Risk Considerations — Risks Relating
to the Estimated Value and Secondary Market Prices of the Notes —
The Estimated Value of the Notes Is Lower Than the Original Issue
Price (Price to Public) of the Notes” in this pricing
supplement.
Secondary Market Prices of the Notes
For information about factors that will impact any secondary market
prices of the notes, see “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to the
Estimated Value and Secondary Market Prices of the Notes —
Secondary market prices of the notes will be impacted by many
economic and market factors” in the accompanying product
supplement. In addition, we generally expect that some of the costs
included in the original issue price of the notes will be partially
paid back to you in connection with any repurchases of your notes
by JPMS in an amount that will decline to zero over an initial
predetermined period. These costs can include selling commissions,
projected hedging profits, if any, and, in some circumstances,
estimated hedging costs and our internal secondary market funding
rates for structured debt issuances. This initial predetermined
time period is intended to be the shorter of six months and
one-half of the stated term of the notes. The length of any such
initial period reflects the structure of the notes, whether our
affiliates expect to earn a profit in connection with our hedging
activities, the estimated costs of hedging the notes and when these
costs are incurred, as determined by our affiliates. See “Selected
Risk Considerations — Risks Relating to the Estimated Value and
Secondary Market Prices of the Notes — The Value of the Notes as
Published by JPMS (and Which May Be Reflected on Customer Account
Statements) May Be Higher Than the Then-Current Estimated Value of
the Notes for a Limited Time Period” in this pricing
supplement.
Supplemental Use of Proceeds
The notes are offered to meet investor demand for products that
reflect the risk-return profile and market exposure provided by the
notes. See “Hypothetical Payout Profile” and “How the Notes Work”
in this pricing supplement for an illustration of the risk-return
profile of the notes and “The Indices” in this pricing supplement
for a description of the market exposure provided by the notes.
The original issue price of the notes is equal to the estimated
value of the notes plus the selling commissions paid to JPMS and
other affiliated or unaffiliated dealers, plus the structuring fee
paid to other affiliated or unaffiliated dealers, plus (minus) the
projected profits (losses) that our affiliates expect to realize
for assuming risks inherent in hedging our obligations under the
notes, plus the estimated cost of hedging our obligations under the
notes.
Supplemental Plan of Distribution
We expect that delivery of the
notes will be made against payment for the notes on or about the
Original Issue Date set forth on the front cover of this pricing
supplement, which will be the third business day following the
Pricing Date of the notes (this settlement cycle being referred to
as “T+3”). Under Rule 15c6-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended, trades in the secondary market generally are
required to settle in two business days, unless the parties to that
trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly,

purchasers who wish to trade notes on any date prior to two
business days before delivery 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.
