JPMORGAN CHASE &CO.
Structured Capped Return Enhanced Notes Linked to the Performance of the British Pound Relative to the
Investments European Union Euro due August 19, 2016
General
• The notes are designed for investors who seek a return of at least 2.16 limes any appreciation of the British pound relative to the European
Union euro from the Starting Spot Rate to the Ending Spot Rate, up to a maximum return of at least 10.80% at maturity. Investors should be
willing to forgo interest payments and, if the Currency Return is negative, be with® to lose some or all of their principal at maturity.
• The notes are unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of JPMorgan Chase & Co. Any payment on the notes is subject to the credit
risk of JPMorgan Chase & Co.
• Minimum denominations of $10,000 and integral multiples of $1.000 in excess thereof
Key Terms
Reference Currency: British pound (GBP)
Base Currency: European Union euro (EUR)
Upside Leverage Factor: At least 2.16. The actual Upside Leverage Factor will be provided in the pricing supplement and will not be less than
2.16.
Payment at Maturity: If the Currency Return is positive i.e.. the British pound appreciates relative to the European Union euro from the
Starting Spot Rate to the Ending Spot Rate), you will receive at maturity a cash payment that provides you with a return
per $1,000 principal amount note equal to the Currency Retum times the Upside Leverage Factor, subject to the
Maximum Return. Accordingly, your payment at maturity per $1.000 principal amount note will be calculated as follows:
$1.000 + ($1,000 x Currency Return x Upside Leverage Factor), subject to the Maximum Return
If the Currency Return is zero (i.e., the British pound remains flat relative to the European Union euro from the Starting
Spot Rate to the Ending Spot Rate), you will receive the principal amount of your notes at maturity.
If the Currency Return is negative (i.e.. the British pound depreciates relative to the European Union euro from the
Starting Spot Rate to the Ending Spot Rate), you will lose 1% of the principal amount of your notes for every 1% of
decline in the Currency Return. Under these circumstances, your payment at maturity per $1.000 principal amount note
will be calculated as follows:
$1,000 + ($1,000 x Currency Return)
If the Currency Return is negative. you will lose some of yourprincipalamount and may lose all of your principal amount
at maturity.
Maximum Return: At least 10.80%. For example, assuming the Maximum Return is 10.80% and assuming the Upside Leverage Factor is
2.16. if the Currency Retum is equal to 5.00%. you will receive the Maximum Return of 10.80%. which entitles you to a
maximum payment at maturity of $1,108.00 per $1,000 principal amount note that you hold. The actual Maximum
Return will be provided in theJpricing supplement and will not be less than 10.80%. Accordingly, the actual maximum
payment at maturity per $1.000 principal amount note will not be less than $1.108.00 per $1,000 principal amount note.
Currency Return: Starting Soot Rate— Endino Soot Rate
Starting Spot Rate
In no event, however, will the Currency Return be less than •100%.

EFTA01203572
How Do Exchange Rates and the Currency Return Formula Work?
Exchange rates reflect the amount of one currency that can be exchanged for a unit of another currency.
The Currency Return reflects the return of the British pound relative to the European Union euro from the Starting Spot Rate
to the Ending Spot Rate, calculated using the formula set forth above under "Key Terms — Currency Return." While the
Currency Return for purposes of the notes is determined using the formula set forth above under -Key Terms — Currency
Return: there are other reasonable ways to determine the return of the British pound relative to the European Union euro
that would provide different results. For example, another way to calculate the return of the British pound relative to the
European Union euro would be to calculate the return that would be achieved by converting European Union euros into
British pounds at the Starting Spot Rate on the Pricing Date and then, on the Final Ending Averaging Date, converting back
into European Union euros at the Ending Spot Rate. In this term sheet, we refer to the return of the British pound relative to
the European Union euro calculated using that method, which is not used for purposes of the notes, as a "conversion
return."
As demonstrated by the examples below, under the Currency Return formula, any appreciation of the British pound relative
to the European Union euro will be diminished, as compared to a conversion return, while any depreciation of the British
pound relative to the European Union euro will be magnified, as compared to a conversion return. In addition, the
diminishing effect on any appreciation of the British pound relative to the European Union euro increases as the Currency
Return increases, and the magnifying effect on any depreciation of the British pound relative to the European Union euro
increases as the Currency Return decreases. Accordingly, your return on the notes may be less than if you had invested in
similar notes that reflected conversion returns.
The Spot Rate is expressed as the number of British pounds per European Union euro. As a result. a decrease in the Spot
Rate from the Starting Spot Rate to the Ending Spot Rate means that the British pound has appreciated / strengthened
relative to the European Union euro from the Starting Spot Rate to the Ending Spot Rate. This means that one British
pound could purchase more European Union euros at the Ending Spot Rate on the Final Ending Averaging Date than it
could on the Pricing Date. Viewed another way, it would take fewer British pounds to purchase one European Union euro at
the Ending Spot Rate on the Final Ending Averaging Date than it did at the Starting Spot Rate on the Pricing Date.
The following examples assume a Starting Spot Rate of 0.70 for the British pound relative to the European Union euro.
Example 1: The British pound strengthens from the Starting Spot Rate of 0.70 to the Ending Spot Rate of 0.665.
The Currency Return is equal to 5.00%, calculated as follows:
(0.70 — 0.665) / 0.70 = 5.00%
By contrast, if the return on the British pound were determined using a conversion return, the return would be 5.26%.
Example 2: The British pound strengthens from the Starting Spot Rate of 0.70 to the Ending Spot Rate of 0.007.
The Currency Return is equal to 99.00%, calculated as follows:
(0.70 — 0.007) / 0.70 = 99.00%
By contrast, if the return on the British pound were determined using a conversion return, the return would be 9,900%. The
payment at maturity will not reflect a return greater than the Maximum Return if the British pound has appreciated relative to
the European Union euro.
As Examples 1 and 2 above demonstrated, the diminishing effect on any appreciation of the British pound relative to the
European Union euro increases as the Currency Return increases.
Conversely, an increase in the Spot Rate from the Starting Spot Rate to the Ending Spot Rate means that the British pound
has depreciated / weakened relative to the European Union euro from the Starting Spot Rate to the Ending Spot Rate.
This means that it would take more British pounds to purchase one European Union euro at the Ending Spot Rate on the
Final Ending Averaging Date than it did on the Pricing Date. Viewed another way, one British pound could purchase fewer
European Union euros at the Ending Spot Rate on the Final Ending Averaging Date than it could at the Starting Spot Rate
on the Pricing Date.
Example 3: The British pound weakens from the Starting Spot Rate of 0.70 to the Ending Spot Rate of 0.77.
The Currency Return is equal to -10.00%, calculated as follows:
(0.70 — 0.77) / 0.70 = -10.00%
By contrast, if the return on the British pound were determined using a conversion return, the return would be -9.09%.
Example 4: The British pound weakens from the Starting Spot Rate of 0.70 to the Ending Spot Rate of 1.4.
The Currency Return is equal to -100.00%, calculated as follows:
(0.70 — 1.40) / 0.70 = -100.00%
By contrast, if the return on the British pound were determined using a conversion return, the return would be -50.00%.
As Examples 3 and 4 above demonstrated, the magnifying effect on any depreciation of the British pound relative to the
European Union euro increases as the Currency Return decreases.
The hypothetical Starting Spot Rate, Ending Spot Rates and Currency Returns set forth above are for illustrative purposes
only and have been rounded for ease of analysis.

Selected Purchase Considerations
• CAPPED APPRECIATION POTENTIAL IF THE CURRENCY RETURN IS POSITIVE — The notes provide the
opportunity to enhance returns by multiplying a positive Currency Return by the Upside Leverage Factor, up to the
Maximum Return of at least 10.80%. The actual Upside Leverage Factor and Maximum Return will be provided in the
pricing supplement and will not be less than 2.16 and 10.80%, respectively, and, accordingly, the maximum payment at
maturity per $1,000 principal amount note will not be less than $1,108.00. Because the notes are our unsecured and
unsubordinated obligations, payment of any amount on the notes is subject to our ability to pay our
obligations as they become due.
• RETURN DEPENDENT ON THE BRITISH POUND RELATIVE TO THE EUROPEAN UNION EURO — The return on
the notes is dependent on the performance of the British pound, which we refer to as the Reference Currency. relative
to the European Union euro, which we refer to as the Base Currency. and will vary based on changes in the value of the
British pound relative to the European Union euro as described under "Key Terms" in this term sheet. Please see "How
Do Exchange Rates and the Currency Return Formula Work?". 'Selected Risk Considerations — The Method of
Calculating the Currency Return Will Diminish Any Appreciation of the Reference Currency and Magnify Any
Depreciation of the Reference Currency Relative to the Base Currency" and "The Spot Rate Does Not Reflect the
British poundper European Union Euro Exchange Rate Directly"in this term sheet for more information.
• TAX TREATMENT — You should review carefully the section entitled -Material U.S. Federal Income Tax
Consequences — Notes Treated as Open Transactions That Are Not Debt Instruments- in the accompanying product
supplement no. 2a-l. 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 the 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. Assuming this treatment is respected,
the gain or loss on your notes will generally be ordinary foreign currency income or loss under Section 988 of the Code.
Ordinary foreign currency losses are potentially subject to certain reporting requirements. However, investors in certain
forward contracts, futures contracts or option contracts generally are entitled to make an election to treat foreign
currency gain or loss as capital gain or loss (a -Section 988 Election"). Due to the lack of authority directly addressing
the availability of the Section 988 Election for instruments such as these, it is unclear whether the Section 988 Election
is available. If the Section 988 Election is available and you make this election before the close of the day on which you
acquire a note, all gain or loss you recognize on a sale or exchange of that note should be treated as capital gain or
loss, and as long-term capital gain or loss if you have held the note for more than one year at that time. A Section 988
Election with respect to a note is made by (a) clearly identifying the note on your books and records, on the date you
acquire it, as being subject to this election and filing the relevant statement verifying this election with your U.S. federal
income tax return or (b) obtaining independent verification under procedures set forth in the Treasury regulations under
Section 988. You should consult your tax adviser regarding the advisability, availability, mechanics and consequences
of a Section 988 Election, as well as the special reporting requirements that apply to foreign currency losses in excess
of specified thresholds.
The IRS or a court may not respect the treatment of the notes as -open transactions," in which case the timing and
character of any income or loss on the notes could be materially and adversely affected. For instance. the notes could
be treated as contingent payment debt instruments (which might be viewed as denominated either in U.S. dollars or in
British pounds), in which case you would be required to accrue original issue discount on your notes in each taxable
year at the "comparable yield," as determined by us. although we will not make any payment with respect to the notes
until maturity, and no Section 988 Election would be available. In particular, in 2007 the IRS issued a revenue ruling
holding that a financial instrument with some similarity to the notes is properly treated as a debt instrument
denominated in a foreign currency. The notes are distinguishable in some respects from the instrument described in
the revenue ruling. If the revenue ruling were applied to the notes, it could materially and adversely affect the tax
consequences of an investment in the notes for U.S. Holders. possibly with retroactive effect.
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 review carefully the section
entitled -Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences" in the accompanying product supplement no. 2a-I and
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.
Withholding under legislation commonly referred to as "FATCA" may apply to amounts treated as interest paid with
respect to the notes, if they are recharacterized as debt instruments. You should consult your tax adviser regarding the
potential application of FATCA to the notes.

Selected Risk Considerations
An investment in the notes involves significant risks. Investing in the notes is not equivalent to investing directly in the
British pound. the European Union euro or the exchange rate between the British pound and European Union euro or any
contracts related to the British pound, the European Union euro or the exchange rate between the British pound and the
European Union euro. These risks are explained in more detail in the -Risk Factors" section of the accompanying product
supplement no. 2a-l.
• 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 British pound relative to the European Union euro
and whether, and the extent to which, the Currency Return is positive or negative. Your investment will be exposed to a
loss if the Currency Return is negative (i.e., the British pound depreciates relative to the European Union euro). You
will lose 1% of the principal amount of your notes for every 1% of decline in the Currency Return. Accordingly. you
could lose some or all of your principal amount at maturity.
• 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. Any actual or potential change in our
creditworthiness or credit spreads, as determined by the market for taking our credit risk, is likely to adversely affect the
value of the notes. If we 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.
• YOUR MAXIMUM GAIN ON THE NOTES IS LIMITED BY THE MAXIMUM RETURN — If the Currency Return is
positive (i.e., the British pound appreciates relative to the European Union euro). 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 British pound relative to the European Union euro, 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 10.80%.
• 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 as an agent of the offering of the notes, hedging our obligations under the
notes and making the assumptions used to determine the pricing of the notes and the estimated value of the notes
when the terms of the notes are set, which we refer to as JPMS's estimated value. In performing these duties, our
economic interests and 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, our business activities, including hedging and trading
activities, could cause our economic interests to be adverse to yours and could adversely affect any payment on the
notes and the value of the notes. It is possible that hedging or trading activities of ours or our affiliates 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 no. 2a-I for additional information about these
risks.
• JPMS'S ESTIMATED VALUE OF THE NOTES WILL BE LOWER THAN THE ORIGINAL ISSUE PRICE (PRICE TO
PUBLIC) OF THE NOTES -JPMS's estimated value is only an estimate using several factors. The original issue
price of the notes will exceed JPMS's estimated value 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
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 "JPMS's Estimated Value of the
Notes" in this term sheet.
• JPMS'S ESTIMATED VALUE DOES NOT REPRESENT FUTURE VALUES OF THE NOTES AND MAY DIFFER
FROM OTHERS' ESTIMATES - JPMS's estimated value of the notes is determined by reference to JPMS's internal
pricing models when the terms of the notes are set. This estimated value is based on market conditions and other
relevant factors existing at that time and JPMS's assumptions about market parameters, which can include volatility,
interest rates and other factors. Different pricing models and assumptions could provide valuations for notes that are
greater than or less than JPMS's estimated value. 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 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. See "JPMS's Estimated Value of the Notes" in this term sheet.
• JPMS'S ESTIMATED VALUE IS NOT DETERMINED BY REFERENCE TO CREDIT SPREADS FOR OUR
CONVENTIONAL FIXED-RATE DEBT — The internal funding rate used in the determination of JPMS's estimated
value generally represents a discount from the credit spreads for our conventional fixed-rate debt. The discount is
based on, among other things. our 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 our conventional fixed-rate debt.
If JPMS were to use the interest rate implied by our conventional fixed-rate credit spreads, we would expect the
economic terms of the notes to be more favorable to you. Consequently. our use of an internal funding rate would have
an adverse effect on the terms of the notes and any secondary market prices of the notes. See "JPMS's Estimated
Value of the Notes" in this term sheet.
• THE VALUE OF THE NOTES AS PUBLISHED BY JPMS (AND WHICH MAY BE REFLECTED ON CUSTOMER
ACCOUNT STATEMENTS) MAY BE HIGHER THAN JPMS'S 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. These costs can include projected hedging profits,
JPMorgan Structured Investments— TS-4
Capped Return Enhanced Notes Linked to the Performance of the British Pound Relative to the European Union Euro
EFTA01203575
if any, and, in some circumstances, estimated hedging costs and our secondary market credit spreads for structured
debt issuances. See "Secondary Market Prices of the Notes" in this term sheet 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 secondary market credit spreads for
structured debt issuances and. also, because secondary market prices (a) exclude selling commissions and (b) may
exclude 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 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. See the immediately following risk consideration for information about additional
factors that will impact any secondary market prices of the 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. See Lack of Liquidity" below.
• 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, projected hedging
profits, if any, estimated hedging costs and the value of the Reference Currency relative to the Base Currency,
including:
• any actual or potential change in our creditworthiness or credit spreads;
• customary bid-ask spreads for similarly sized trades:
• secondary market credit spreads for structured debt issuances;
• the exchange rates and the volatility of the exchange rates of the U.S. dollar relative to the European Union
euro and of the U.S. dollar relative to the British pound;
• suspension or disruption of market trading in the British pound. the European Union euro or the U.S. dollar;
• the time to maturity of the notes;
• interest and yield rates in the market generally; and
• a variety of other economic, financial, political, regulatory and judicial events.
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.
• THE METHOD OF CALCULATING THE CURRENCY RETURN WILL DIMINISH ANY APPRECIATION OF THE
REFERENCE CURRENCY AND MAGNIFY ANY DEPRECIATION OF THE REFERENCE CURRENCY RELATIVE TO
THE BASE CURRENCY — The Currency Return reflects the return of the British pound relative to the European Union
euro from the Starting Spot Rate to the Ending Spot Rate, calculated using the formula set forth above under "Key
Terms — Currency Return." While the Currency Return for purposes of the notes is determined using the formula set
forth above under "Key Terms — Currency Return: there are other reasonable ways to determine the return of the
British pound relative to the European Union euro that would provide different results. For example, another way to
calculate the return of the British pound relative to the European Union euro would be to calculate the return that would
be achieved by converting European Union euros into British pounds at the Starting Spot Rate on the Pricing Date and
then, on the Final Ending Averaging Date. converting back into European Union euros at the Ending Spot Rate. In this
term sheet, we refer to the return on the British pound relative to the European Union euro calculated using that
method, which is not used for purposes of the notes. as a "conversion return."
Under the Currency Return formula, any appreciation of the British pound relative to the European Union euro will be
diminished, as compared to a conversion return, while any depreciation of the British pound relative to the European
Union euro will be magnified, as compared to a conversion return. The diminishing effect on any appreciation of the
British pound relative to the European Union euro increases as the Currency Return increases. The magnifying effect
on any depreciation of the British pound relative to the European Union euro increases as the Currency Return
decreases. Accordingly, your payment at maturity may be less than if you had invested in similar notes that reflected a
conversion return. See "How Do Exchange Rates and the Currency Return Work?' in this term sheet for more
information.
• THE SPOT RATE DOES NOT REFLECT THE BRITISH POUND PER EUROPEAN UNION EURO EXCHANGE RATE
DIRECTLY — The Spot Rate is calculated as (a) the U.S. dollar per one European Union euro exchange rate divided
by (b) the U.S. dollar per one British pound exchange rate. Accordingly, the Spot Rates do not reflect the British pound
per European Union euro exchange rate directly. As a result, the notes are subject to currency exchange risks with
respect to the U.S. dollar. See "— The Notes Are Subject to Currency Exchange Risk" below.
• THE NOTES MIGHT NOT PAY AS MUCH AS A DIRECT INVESTMENT IN THE REFERENCE CURRENCY — You
may receive a lower payment at maturity than you would have received if you had invested directly in the British pound
or contracts related to the British pound for which there is an active secondary market.
• THE NOTES ARE SUBJECT TO CURRENCY EXCHANGE RISK — Foreign currency exchange rates vary over time,
and may vary considerably during the term of the notes. The value of the British pound, the European Union euro or
the U.S. dollar is at any moment a result of the supply and demand for that currency. Changes in foreign currency
exchange rates result over time from the interaction of many factors directly or indirectly affecting economic and political
conditions in the United Kingdom and the member countries of the European Union and the United States, and other
relevant countries or regions.

Of particular importance to potential currency exchange risk are:
• existing and expected rates of inflation;
• existing and expected interest rate levels;
• the balance of payments in the United Kingdom, the member countries of the European Union and the United
States, and between each country and its major trading partners;
• political, civil or military unrest in the United Kingdom, the member countries of the European Union and the
United States; and
• the extent of governmental surplus or deficit in the United Kingdom and the member countries of the European
Union and the United States.
All of these factors are, in turn, sensitive to the monetary, fiscal and trade policies pursued by the United Kingdom, the
member countries of the European Union and the United States, and those of other countries important to international
trade and finance.
• GOVERNMENTAL INTERVENTION COULD MATERIALLY AND ADVERSELY AFFECT THE VALUE OF THE
NOTES — Foreign exchange rates can be fixed by the sovereign government, allowed to float within a range of
exchange rates set by the government or left to float freely. Governments, including those of the United Kingdom, the
member countries of the European Union and the United States, use a variety of techniques, such as intervention by
their central bank or imposition of regulatory controls or taxes, to affect the exchange rates of their respective
currencies. They may also issue a new currency to replace an existing currency, fix the exchange rate or atter the
exchange rate or relative exchange characteristics by devaluation or revaluation of a currency. Thus, a special risk in
purchasing the notes is that their trading value and amount payable could be affected by the actions of sovereign
governments, fluctuations in response to other market forces and the movement of currencies across borders.
• EVEN THOUGH THE REFERENCE CURRENCY, THE BASE CURRENCY AND THE U.S. DOLLAR TRADE
AROUND-THE-CLOCK, THE NOTES WILL NOT — Because the inter-bank market in foreign currencies is a global.
around-the-clock market, the hours of trading for the notes, if any, will not conform to the hours during which the British
pound, the European Union euro and the U.S. dollar are traded. Consequently, significant price and rate movements
may take place in the underlying foreign exchange markets that will not be reflected immediately in the price of the
notes. Additionally, there is no systematic reporting of last-sale information for foreign currencies which, combined with
the limited availability of quotations to individual investors, may make it difficult for many investors to obtain timely and
accurate data regarding the state of the underlying foreign exchange markets.
• CURRENCY EXCHANGE RISKS CAN BE EXPECTED TO HEIGHTEN IN PERIODS OF FINANCIAL TURMOIL — In
periods of financial turmoil, capital can move quickly out of regions that are perceived to be more vulnerable to the
effects of the crisis than others with sudden and severely adverse consequences to the currencies of those regions. In
addition, governments around the world, including the governments of the United Kingdom, the member countries of the
European Union and the United States and governments of other major world currencies, have recently made, and may
be expected to continue to make, very significant interventions in their economies, and sometimes directly in their
currencies. Such interventions affect currency exchange rates globally and, in particular. the value of the British pound
relative to the European Union euro (or the value of the U.S. dollar relative to the European Union euro and the value of
the U.S. dollar relative to the British pound. Further interventions, other government actions or suspensions of actions,
as well as other changes in government economic policy or other financial or economic events affecting the currency
markets, may cause currency exchange rates to fluctuate sharply in the future. which could have a material adverse
effect on the value of the notes and your return on your investment in the notes at maturity.
• CURRENCY MARKET DISRUPTIONS MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT YOUR RETURN — The calculation agent may, in
its sole discretion, determine that the currency markets have been affected in a manner that prevents it from properly
determining, among other things. the Spot Rate and the Currency Return. These events may include disruptions or
suspensions of trading in the currency markets as a whole, and could be a Convertibility Event, a Deliverability Event. a
Liquidity Event, a Taxation Event, a Discontinuity Event or a Price Source Disruption Event. See "General Terms of
Notes — Market Disruption Events" in the accompanying product supplement no. 2a-I for further information on what
constitutes a market disruption event.
• NO INTEREST PAYMENTS — As a holder of the notes, you will not receive interest payments.
• 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.
• THE FINAL TERMS AND VALUATION OF THE NOTES WILL BE PROVIDED IN THE PRICING SUPPLEMENT —
The final terms of the notes will be bas
