* If any Bloomberg symbol for a particular Basket Index differs from, or is more precise than, any Bloomberg symbol specified in this product supplement, we will include the different, or more precise, Bloomberg symbol in the relevant terms supplement.

 

† The relevant terms supplement will specify either (i) the weight of each Basket Index in the Basket, which will be fixed for the term of the notes, or (ii) the manner in which the weight of each Basket Index will be determined. For example, the relevant terms supplement may specify that each Basket Index has an equal weight in the Basket, in which case each Basket Index makes up 1/132 of the value of the Basket, or the relevant terms supplement may specify a different weighting for each of the one hundred thirty-two Basket Indices. Alternatively, the relevant terms supplement may specify that, for example, for a Basket consisting of the Aluminum Total Return Index and the Precious Metals Excess Return index, the Basket Index with the greater Index Return will make up 70% of the value of the Basket, and the Basket Index with the lesser Index Return will make up 30% of the value of the Basket. The Basket may consist of fewer than all one hundred thirty-two Basket Indices, in which case the weight of each Basket Index not included in the Basket will be deemed to be 0%. In certain cases, only one Basket Index may compose the entire Basket. If there is only one Basket Index, that Basket Index will be weighted as 100% of the Basket and the remaining Basket Indices will each be weighted as 0% of the Basket.

The JPMCCI:

The JPMorgan Commodity Curve Index (“JPMCCI”).

JPMCCI is a family of one hundred-five single commodity indices, twenty-one sector indices, three energy light indices and three aggregate commodity indices that seeks to offer a diversified and representative approach to passive commodity investing. Unlike other commodity indices, which generally focus exposure at a single maturity (traditionally, the front month contract or a single deferred contract), JPMCCI seeks to track exposure along the entire futures curve (i.e., exposure to futures contracts with different maturities) in proportion to their open interest.

JPMCCI uses open interest to determine the inclusion and relative weights of the individual commodities to arrive at a total market benchmark, which is based on the entire commodity curve. Each commodity’s monthly contract compositions are determined by reference to the historical distribution of the open interest of contracts across the futures curve for the relevant calendar month by reference to the preceding three years.

Although positions will be adjusted monthly, many contracts are deemed to be held in JPMCCI for multiple months because JPMCCI will synthetically own contracts at deferred points of the futures curve. Therefore, only a portion of JPMCCI’s nominal positions will roll each month. This is different from traditional commodities indices, which are generally deemed to have liquidated their current nominal holdings entirely after the end of the rolling period from one contract to another.

The description of the JPMCCI strategy and methodology included in this product supplement no. 154-I is based on rules formulated by J.P. Morgan Securities Ltd. (the “Rules”). The Rules are attached as Annex A to this product supplement.

Payment at Maturity (Notes with a Buffer):

Subject to the impact of a market disruption event (including the early acceleration of the amounts due and payable under the terms of the notes), for notes with a buffer, the amount you will receive at maturity is based on the value of the Ending Basket Level relative to the Starting Basket Level (or the Strike Level, if applicable) and the buffer amount.

If the Ending Basket Level is greater than the Starting Basket Level (or the Strike Level, if applicable), you will receive a cash payment per $1,000 principal amount note that provides you with a return on your investment equal to the Basket Return multiplied by the upside leverage factor, subject, if applicable, to the Maximum Total Return on the note. If applicable, the “Maximum Total Return” on the note is a percentage that we will determine on the pricing date and that will be set forth in the relevant terms supplement. Accordingly, if the relevant terms supplement specifies a Maximum Total Return for the notes, the appreciation potential of the notes will be limited to the Maximum Total Return even if the Basket Return multiplied by the upside leverage factor is greater than the Maximum Total Return. Subject to any applicable Maximum Total Return on the note, your final payment per $1,000 principal note will be calculated as follows:

  $1,000 + ($1,000 x Basket Return x upside leverage factor)
 

Your principal is protected against a decline in the Basket up to the buffer amount. If the Ending Basket Level declines from the Starting Basket Level (or the Strike Level, if applicable) and such decline is equal to or less than the buffer amount, you will receive the principal amount of your notes at maturity.

If the Ending Basket Level declines from the Starting Basket Level (or the Strike Level, if applicable) by more than the buffer amount, for every 1% decline of the Basket beyond the buffer amount, you will lose an amount equal to 1% of the principal amount of your notes multiplied by the downside leverage factor, and your final payment per $1,000 principal amount note will be calculated, unless otherwise specified in the relevant terms supplement, as follows:

  $1,000 + [$1,000 x (Basket Return + buffer amount %) x downside leverage factor]
 

For notes with a buffer, you will lose some or all of your investment at maturity if the Ending Basket Level declines from the Starting Basket Level (or the Strike Level, if applicable) by more than the buffer amount.

For more information about the impact of market disruption events (including the early acceleration of the amounts due and payable under the terms of the notes) please see “Description of Notes – Payment at Maturity” and “General Terms of Notes – Consequences of a Commodity Hedging Disruption Event.”

Payment at Maturity (Notes without a Buffer):

Subject to the impact of a market disruption event (including the early acceleration of the amounts due and payable under the terms of the notes), for notes without a buffer, the amount you will receive at maturity is based on the value of the Ending Basket Level relative to the Starting Basket Level (or the Strike Level, if applicable).

If the Ending Basket Level is greater than the Starting Basket Level (or the Strike Level, if applicable), you will receive a cash payment per $1,000 principal amount note that provides you with a return on your investment equal to the Basket Return multiplied by the upside leverage factor, subject, if applicable, to the Maximum Total Return on the note. If applicable, the “Maximum Total Return” on the note is a percentage that we will determine on the pricing date and that will be set forth in the relevant terms supplement. Accordingly, if the relevant terms supplement specifies a Maximum Total Return for the notes, the appreciation potential of the notes will be limited to the Maximum Total Return even if the Basket Return multiplied by the upside leverage factor is greater than the Maximum Total Return. Subject to any applicable Maximum Total Return on the note, your final payment per note will be calculated as follows:

 

$1,000 + ($1,000 x Basket Return x upside leverage factor)

 

If the Ending Basket Level is equal to the Starting Basket Level (or the Strike Level, if applicable), you will receive a cash payment of $1,000 per $1,000 principal amount note.

If the Ending Basket Level declines from the Starting Basket Level (or the Strike Level, if applicable), you will lose 1% of the principal amount of your notes for every 1% that the Basket declines beyond the Starting Basket Level (or the Strike Level, if applicable), unless otherwise specified in the relevant terms supplement. Under these circumstances, your final payment per $1,000 principal amount note will be calculated as follows:

 

$1,000 + ($1,000 x Basket Return)

 

For notes without a buffer, you will lose some or all of your investment at maturity if the Ending Basket Level declines from the Starting Basket Level (or the Strike Level, if applicable).

For more information about the impact of market disruption events (including the early acceleration of the amounts due and payable under the terms of the notes) please see “Description of Notes – Payment at Maturity” and “General Terms of Notes – Consequences of a Commodity Hedging Disruption Event.”

Other Terms:

In each case if applicable, the Maximum Total Return, the buffer amount, upside leverage factor and downside leverage factor will be specified in the relevant terms supplement.

Basket Return:

Unless otherwise specified in the relevant terms supplement:

  Ending Basket Level – Starting Basket Level (or the Strike Level, if applicable)
Starting Basket Level (or the Strike Level, if applicable)

Starting Basket Level:

Unless otherwise specified in the relevant terms supplement, set equal to 100 on the pricing date, the final Initial Averaging Date, if applicable, or such other date as specified in the relevant terms supplement, or, if the Basket consists of a single Basket Index, the closing level, as applicable, of the Basket Index on the pricing date or such other date or dates as specified in the relevant terms supplement, or the arithmetic average of the settlement prices, fixing levels or closing levels, as applicable, of the Basket Indices on each of the Initial Averaging Dates.

Ending Basket Level:

The Basket Closing Level on the Observation Date, or such other date as specified in the relevant terms supplement, or the arithmetic average of the Basket Closing Levels on each of the Ending Averaging Dates.

Strike Level:

The relevant terms supplement may specify a starting value other than the Starting Basket Level to be used for calculating the Basket Return and the amount payable at maturity, if any. For example, the relevant terms supplement may specify that a Strike Level, equal to 95% of the Starting Basket Level, will be used to calculate the Basket Return.

Basket Closing Level:

Unless otherwise specified in the relevant terms supplement, the Basket Closing Level on any trading day will be calculated as follows:

In certain cases, only one Basket Index may compose the entire Basket. If there is only one Basket Index, that Basket Index will be weighted as 100% of the Basket and the remaining Basket Indices will be weighted as 0% of the Basket. For additional information relating to the weighting of Basket Indices, see “Key Terms — Basket.” For additional information, see “Description of Notes — Payment at Maturity.”

Initial Averaging Dates:

As specified, if applicable, in the relevant terms supplement. Any Initial Averaging Date is subject to the impact of certain market disruption events and as described under “Description of Notes – Payment at Maturity.”

Basket Valuation Date(s):

The Ending Basket Level will be calculated on a single date, which we refer to as an Observation Date, or on several dates, each of which we refer to as an Ending Averaging Date, as specified in the relevant terms supplement. We refer to such dates generally as Basket Valuation Dates in this product supplement. Any Basket Valuation Date is subject to postponement in the event of certain market disruption events and as described under “Description of Notes — Payment at Maturity.”

Maturity Date:

As specified in the relevant terms supplement. The maturity date of the notes is subject to the impact of certain market disruption events (including the early acceleration of the amounts due and payable under the terms of the notes) and as described under “Description of Notes – Payment at Maturity” and “General Terms of Notes – Consequences of a Commodity Hedging Disruption Event.”

Investing in the Return Notes involves a number of risks. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page PS-54.

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of the notes or passed upon the accuracy or the adequacy of this product supplement no. 154-I, the accompanying prospectus supplement and prospectus, or any related terms supplement. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

The notes are not bank deposits and are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other governmental agency, nor are they obligations of, or guaranteed by, a bank.

     In making your investment decision, you should rely only on the information contained or incorporated by reference in the terms supplement relevant to your investment, this product supplement no. 154-I and the accompanying prospectus supplement and prospectus with respect to the notes offered by the relevant terms supplement and this product supplement no. 154-I and with respect to JPMorgan Chase & Co. This product supplement no. 154-I, together with the relevant terms supplement and the accompanying prospectus and prospectus supplement, contain the terms of the notes and supersede all other prior or contemporaneous oral statements as well as any other written materials including preliminary or indicative pricing terms, correspondence, trade ideas, structures for implementation, sample structures, fact sheets, brochures or other educational materials of ours. The information in the relevant terms supplement, this product supplement no. 154-I and the accompanying prospectus supplement and prospectus may only be accurate as of the dates of each of these documents, respectively.

     The notes described in the relevant terms supplement and this product supplement no. 154-I are not appropriate for all investors, and involve important legal and tax consequences and investment risks, which should be discussed with your professional advisers. You should be aware that the regulations of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, or, FINRA, and the laws of certain jurisdictions (including regulations and laws that require brokers to ensure that investments are suitable for their customers) may limit the availability of the notes. The relevant terms supplement, this product supplement no. 154-I and the accompanying prospectus supplement and prospectus do not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy the notes in any circumstances in which such offer or solicitation is unlawful.

     In this product supplement no. 154-I and the accompanying prospectus supplement and prospectus, “we,” “us” and “our” refer to JPMorgan Chase & Co., unless the context requires otherwise.


DESCRIPTION OF NOTES

     The following description of the terms of the notes supplements the description of the general terms of the debt securities set forth under the headings “Description of Notes” in the accompanying prospectus supplement and “Description of Debt Securities” in the accompanying prospectus. A separate terms supplement will describe the terms that apply specifically to the notes, including any changes to the terms specified below. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this product supplement no. 154-I have the meanings assigned in the accompanying prospectus supplement, prospectus and the relevant terms supplement. The term “note” refers to each $1,000 principal amount of Return Enhanced Notes Linked to a Weighted Basket Consisting of up to One Hundred-Five JPMorgan Commodity Curve Commodity Indices, Twenty-One JPMorgan Commodity Curve Sector Indices and/or Three JPMorgan Commodity Curve Aggregate Indices, or Linked to Any One of the Foregoing.

General

     The Return Enhanced Notes are senior unsecured obligations of JPMorgan Chase & Co. that are linked to a weighted basket (the “Basket”) consisting of up to one hundred-five JPMorgan Commodity Curve Commodity Indices, twenty-one JPMorgan Commodity Curve Sector Indices and/or three JPMorgan Commodity Curve Aggregate Indices (each a “Basket Index” and collectively, the “Basket Indices”), or linked to any one of the Basket Indices. The notes are a series of securities referred to in the accompanying prospectus supplement, prospectus and the relevant terms supplement. The notes will be issued by JPMorgan Chase & Co. under an indenture dated May 25, 2001, as may be amended or supplemented from time to time, between us and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas (formerly Bankers Trust Company), as trustee.

     The notes do not pay interest and do not guarantee any return of principal at, or prior to, maturity (other than the Additional Amount). Instead, at maturity you will receive a payment in cash, the amount of which will vary depending on the performance of the Basket calculated in accordance with the formula set forth below and the Additional Amount.

     The notes are not bank deposits and are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or by any other governmental agency, nor are they obligations of, or guaranteed by, a bank.

     The notes are our unsecured and unsubordinated obligations and will rank pari passu with all of our other unsecured and unsubordinated obligations.

     The notes will be issued in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof, unless otherwise specified in the relevant terms supplement. The principal amount and issue price of each note is $1,000, unless otherwise specified in the relevant terms supplement. The notes will be represented by one or more permanent global notes registered in the name of The Depository Trust Company, or DTC, or its nominee, as described under “Description of Notes — Forms of Notes” in the prospectus supplement and “Forms of Securities — Global Securities” in the prospectus.

     The specific terms of the notes will be described in the relevant terms supplement accompanying this product supplement no. 154-I. The terms described in that document supplement those described herein and in the accompanying prospectus and prospectus supplement. If the terms described in the relevant terms supplement are inconsistent with those described herein or in the accompanying prospectus or prospectus supplement, the terms described in the relevant terms supplement will control.

PS-1


Payment at Maturity

     The maturity date for the notes will be set forth in the relevant terms supplement and is subject to adjustment if such day is not a business day or if the final Basket Valuation Date is postponed as described below. We will also specify whether or not the notes have a buffer and the amount of any such buffer in the relevant terms supplement. In addition, the notes are subject to early acceleration under certain circumstances described under “General Terms of Notes — Consequences of a Commodity Hedging Disruption Event.”

     Notes with a Buffer

     For notes with a buffer, the amount you will receive at maturity is based on the value of the Ending Basket Level relative to the Starting Basket Level (or Strike Level, if applicable) and the buffer amount.

  • If the Ending Basket Level is greater than the Starting Basket Level (or Strike Level, if applicable), you will receive a cash payment per $1,000 principal amount note that provides you with a return on your investment equal to the Basket Return multiplied by the upside leverage factor subject, if applicable, to the Maximum Total Return on the note. If applicable, the “Maximum Total Return” on the note is a percentage that we will determine on the pricing date and which will be set forth in the relevant terms supplement. Accordingly, if the relevant terms supplement specifies a Maximum Total Return for the notes, the appreciation potential of the notes will be limited to the Maximum Total Return even if the Basket Return multiplied by the upside leverage factor is greater than the Maximum Total Return. Subject to any applicable Maximum Total Return, your final payment per $1,000 principal amount note will be calculated as follows:

$1,000 + ($1,000 x Basket Return x upside leverage factor)

  • Your principal is protected against a decline in the Basket up to the buffer amount. If the Ending Basket Level declines from the Starting Basket Level (or Strike Level, if applicable) and such decline is equal to or less than the buffer amount, you will receive the principal amount of your notes at maturity.

  • Your investment will be fully exposed to any decline in the Basket beyond the buffer amount. If the Ending Basket Level declines by more than the buffer amount, for every 1% decline of the Basket beyond the buffer amount, you will lose an amount equal to 1% of the principal amount of your notes multiplied by the downside leverage factor, and your final payment per $1,000 principal amount note will be calculated, unless otherwise specified in the relevant terms supplement, as follows:

    $1,000 + [$1,000 x (Basket Return + buffer amount %) x downside leverage factor]

     For notes with a buffer, you will lose some or all of your investment at maturity if the Ending Basket Level declines from the Starting Basket Level (or Strike Level, if applicable) by more than the buffer amount.

     For more information about the impact of market disruption events (including the early acceleration of the amounts due and payable under the terms of the notes) please see “Description of Notes – Payment at Maturity” and “General Terms of Notes – Consequences of a Commodity Hedging Disruption Event.”

PS-2


     Notes without a Buffer

     For notes without a buffer, the amount you will receive at maturity is based on the value of the Ending Basket Level relative to the Starting Basket Level (or Strike Level, if applicable).

  • If the Ending Basket Level is greater than the Starting Basket Level (or Strike Level, if applicable), you will receive a cash payment per $1,000 principal amount note that provides you with a return on your investment equal to the Basket Return multiplied by the upside leverage factor subject, if applicable, to the Maximum Total Return on the note. If applicable, the “Maximum Total Return” on the note is a percentage which we will determine on the pricing date and which will be set forth in the relevant terms supplement. Accordingly, if the relevant terms supplement specifies a Maximum Total Return for the notes, the appreciation potential of the notes will be limited to the Maximum Total Return, even if the Basket Return multiplied by the upside leverage factor is greater than the Maximum Total Return. Subject to any applicable Maximum Total Return, your final payment per $1,000 principal amount note will be calculated as follows:

$1,000 + ($1,000 x Basket Return x upside leverage factor)

  • If the Ending Basket Level is equal to the Starting Basket Level (or Strike Level, if applicable), you will receive a cash payment of $1,000 per $1,000 principal amount note.

  • If the Ending Basket Level declines from the Starting Basket Level (or Strike Level, if applicable), you will lose 1% of the principal amount of your notes for every 1% that the Ending Basket Level declines beyond the Starting Basket Level (or Strike Level, if applicable), unless otherwise specified in the relevant terms supplement. Under these circumstances, your final payment per $1,000 principal amount note will be calculated as follows:

$1,000 + ($1,000 x Basket Return)

     For notes without a buffer, you will lose some or all of your investment at maturity if the Ending Basket Level declines from the Starting Basket Level (or Strike Level, if applicable).

     For more information about the impact of market disruption events (including the early acceleration of the amounts due and payable under the terms of the notes) please see “Description of Notes – Payment at Maturity” and “General Terms of Notes – Consequences of a Commodity Hedging Disruption Event.”

     Unless otherwise specified in the relevant terms supplement, the “Basket Return,” as calculated by the calculation agent, is the percentage change in the Basket, calculated by comparing the Basket Closing Level on the Observation Date, or such other date as specified in the relevant terms supplement, or the arithmetic average of the Basket Closing Level on each of the Ending Averaging Dates (the “Ending Basket Level”), to the Basket Closing Level on the pricing date or such other date as specified in the relevant terms supplement, or to the arithmetic average of the Basket Closing Levels on each of the Initial Averaging Dates, if so specified in the relevant terms supplement (the “Starting Basket Level”) or to a Basket Level other than the Starting Basket Level as specified in the relevant terms supplement (the “Strike Level”). The relevant terms supplement will specify the manner in which the Starting Basket Level, or the Strike Level, as applicable, and the Ending Basket Level are determined. The Basket Return, unless otherwise specified in the relevant terms supplement, is calculated as follows:

Basket Return =       Ending Basket Level – Starting Basket Level (or the Strike Level, if applicable)   
Starting Basket Level (or the Strike Level, if applicable)

PS-3


     Unless otherwise specified in the relevant terms supplement, the “Starting Basket Level” will be set equal to 100 on the pricing date, the final Initial Averaging Date, if applicable, or on such other date as specified in the relevant terms supplement, or, if the Basket consists of a single Basket Index, the closing level of the Basket Index on the pricing date or such other date as specified in the relevant terms supplement, or the arithmetic average of the settlement prices, fixing levels or closing levels, as applicable, of the Basket Index on each of the Initial Averaging Dates. The “Ending Basket Level” is equal to the Basket Closing Level on the Observation Date, or such other date as specified in the relevant terms supplement or an arithmetic average of the Basket Closing Levels on each of the Ending Averaging Dates.

     In each case if applicable, the “Maximum Total Return,” the “buffer amount,” “upside leverage factor” and “downside leverage factor” will be set forth in the relevant terms supplement.

     Unless otherwise specified in the relevant terms supplement, the “Basket Closing Level” on any trading day will be calculated as follows:

 

100 x [1 + (Crude Oil Price Index Return * Crude Oil Price Index Return Weighting) + (Crude Oil Excess Return Index Return * Crude Oil Excess Return Index Weighting) + (Crude Oil Total Return Index Return * Crude Oil Total Return Index Weighting) + (Gasoline Price Index Return * Gasoline Price Index Return Weighting) + (Gasoline Excess Return Index Return * Gasoline Excess Return Index Return Weighting) + (Gasoline Total Return Index Return * Gasoline Total Return Index Return Weighting) + (Heating Oil Price Index Return * Heating Oil Price Index Return Weighting) + (Heating Oil Excess Return Index Return * Heating Oil Excess Return Index Return Weighting) + (Heating Oil Total Return Index Return * Heating Oil Total Return Index Return Weighting) + (Natural Gas Price Index Return * Natural Gas Price Index Return Weighting) + (Natural Gas Excess Return Index Return * Natural Gas Excess Return Index Return Weighting) + (Natural Gas Total Return Index Return * Natural Gas Total Return Index Return Weighting) + (Brent Crude Price Index Return * Brent Crude Price Index Return Weighting) + (Brent Crude Excess Return Index Return * Brent Crude Excess Return Index Return Weighting) + (Brent Crude Total Return Index Return * Brent Crude Total Return Index Return Weighting) + (Gas Oil Price Index Return * Gas Oil Price Index Return Weighting) + (Gas Oil Excess Return Index Return * Gas Oil Excess Return Index Return Weighting) + (Gas Oil Total Return Index Return * Gas Oil Total Return Index Return Weighting) + (Gold Price Index Return * Gold Price Index Return Weighting) + (Gold Excess Return Index Return * Gold Excess Return Index Return Weighting) + (Gold Total Return Index Return * Gold Total Return Index Return Weighting) + (Silver Price Index Return * Silver Price Index Return Weighting) + (Silver Excess Return Index Return * Silver Excess Return Index Return Weighting) + (Silver Total Return Index Return * Silver Total Return Index Return Weighting) + (Palladium Price Index Return * Palladium Price Index Return Weighting) + (Palladium Excess Return Index Return * Palladium Excess Return Index Return Weighting) + (Palladium Total Return Index Return * Palladium Total Return Index Return Weighting) + (Platinum Price Index Return * Platinum Price Index Return Weighting) + (Platinum Excess Return Index Return * Platinum Excess Return Index Return Weighting) + (Platinum Total Return Index Return * Platinum Total Return Index Return Weighting) + (Aluminum Price Index Return * Aluminum Price Index Return Weighting) + (Aluminum Excess Return Index Return * Aluminum Excess Return Index Return Weighting) + (Aluminum Total Return Index Return * Aluminum Total Return Index Return Weighting) + (Copper Price Index Return * Copper Price Index Return Weighting) + (Copper Excess Return Index Return * Copper Excess Return Index Return Weighting) + (Copper Total Return Index Return * Copper Total Return Index Return Weighting) + (Lead Price Index Return * Lead Price Index Return Weighting) + (Lead Excess Return Index Return * Lead Excess Return Index Return Weighting) + (Lead Total Return Index Return * Lead Total Return Index Return Weighting) + (Nickel Price Index Return * Nickel Price Index Return Weighting) + (Nickel Excess Return Index Return * Nickel Excess Return Index Return Weighting) + (Nickel Total Return Index Return * Nickel Total Return Index Return Weighting) + (Zinc Price Index Return * Zinc Price Index Return Weighting) + (Zinc Excess Return Index Return * Zinc Excess

For example, if the relevant terms supplement specifies that Aluminum Excess Return Index is weighted to compose 25% of the value of the Basket, the Aluminum Excess Return Weighting is 25%. In certain cases, only one Basket Index may compose the entire Basket. If there is only one Basket Index, that Basket Index will be weighted as 100% of the Basket and the remaining Basket Indices will be weighted as 0% of the Basket. For additional information relating to the weighting of Basket Indices, see “Key Terms — Basket.”

     The relevant terms supplement will specify either (i) the weight of each Basket Index in the Basket, which will be fixed for the term of the notes, or (ii) the manner in which the weight of each Basket Index will be determined. For example, the relevant terms supplement may specify that each Basket Index has an equal weight in the Basket, in which case each Basket Index makes up 1/132 of the value of the Basket, or the relevant terms supplement may specify a different weighting for each of the one hundred thirty-two Basket Indices. Alternatively, the relevant terms supplement may specify that, for a Basket consisting of the Aluminum Total Return Index and the Precious Metals Excess Return index, the Basket Index with the greater Index Return will make up 70% of the value of the Basket, and the Basket Index with the lesser Index Return will make up 30% of the value of the Basket. The Basket may consist of fewer than all one hundred thirty-two Basket Indices, in which case the weight of each Basket Index not included in the Basket will be deemed to be 0%. In certain cases, only one Basket Index may compose the entire Basket. If there is only one Basket Index, that Basket Index will be weighted as 100% of the Basket and the remaining Basket Indices will each be weighted as 0% of the Basket.

For the avoidance of doubt, if an Initial Averaging Date is to be postponed as described above, and there are two or more Disrupted Basket Indices and the first trading day on which there is no market disruption event relating to the first Disrupted Basket Index is different from such trading day for one or more of the other Disrupted Basket Indices, such Initial Averaging Date for any Disrupted Basket Index will be postponed to the first trading day on which there is no market disruption event for the applicable Disrupted Basket Index, irrespective of any other Disrupted Basket Index and such trading day shall be the Initial Averaging Date for that specific Disrupted Basket Index. The remaining Disrupted Basket Indices shall be determined individually and irrespective of any other Disrupted Basket Index, on the next trading day on which there is no market disruption event. Under these circumstances, the calculation agent will calculate the Basket Closing Level using the settlement prices, fixing levels or closing levels, as applicable, of the Disrupted Basket Indices on different trading days.

     In no event, however, will any Initial Averaging Date for any Disrupted Basket Index be postponed more than ten business days following the date originally scheduled to be such Initial Averaging Date. If the tenth business day following the date originally scheduled to be the applicable Initial Averaging Date is not a trading day with respect to any Disrupted Basket Index, or there is a market disruption event with respect to any Disrupted Basket Index on such tenth business day, the calculation agent will determine the closing level, as applicable, for any such Disrupted Basket Index for such date in accordance with the formula for and method of calculating such closing level, as applicable, last in effect prior to commencement of the market disruption event (or prior to the non-trading day), using the daily settlement price or fixing level, as applicable (or, if trading in the relevant commodities or futures contracts has been materially suspended or materially limited, the calculation agent’s good faith estimate of the daily settlement price or fixing level, as applicable, that would have prevailed but for such suspension or limitation or non-trading day) on such tenth scheduled business day or, in the case of a Disrupted Basket Index that is a Basket Index, on such tenth scheduled business day of each futures contract most recently constituting such Disrupted Basket Index.

     The Basket Valuation Date(s), which will either be a single date, which we refer to as the Observation Date, or several dates, each of which we refer to as an Ending Averaging Date, will be specified in the relevant terms supplement, and any such date is subject to adjustment as described below. If a Basket Valuation Date is not a trading day or if any Basket Index is a Disrupted Basket Index on such Basket Valuation Date, the applicable Basket Valuation Date will be postponed to the immediately succeeding trading day for any such Disrupted Basket Index during which no market disruption event for such Disrupted Basket Index shall have occurred or be continuing; provided that the Basket Closing Level on such Basket Valuation Date, as postponed, shall be determined by using (1) the closing level, as applicable, for each Basket Index (other than any such Disrupted Basket Index) on the originally scheduled Basket Valuation Date and (2) the closing level, as applicable, for any such Disrupted Basket Index on the immediately succeeding trading day for such Disrupted Basket Index during which no market disruption event for such Disrupted Basket Index shall have occurred or be continuing. For the avoidance of doubt, if a Basket Valuation Date is to be postponed as described above, and there are two or more Disrupted Basket Indices and the first trading day on which there is no market disruption event relating to the first Disrupted Basket Index is different from such trading day for one or more of the other Disrupted Basket Indices, such Basket Valuation Date for any Disrupted Basket Index will be postponed to the first trading day on which there is no market disruption event for the applicable Disrupted Basket Index, irrespective of any other Disrupted Basket Index and such trading day shall be the Basket Valuation Date for that specific Disrupted Basket Index. The remaining Disrupted Basket Indices shall be determined individually and irrespective of any other Disrupted Basket Index, on the next trading day on which there is no market disruption event. Under these circumstances, the calculation agent will calculate the Basket Closing Level using the settlement prices, fixing levels or closing levels, as applicable, of the Disrupted Basket Indices on different trading days.

     In no event, however, will any Basket Valuation Date for any Disrupted Basket Index be postponed more than ten business days following the date originally scheduled to be such Basket Valuation Date. If the tenth business day following the date originally scheduled to be the applicable Basket Valuation Date is not a trading day, or if there is a market disruption event on such date, the calculation agent will determine the Basket Closing Level for the Basket Valuation Date on such date in accordance with the formula for and method of calculating the Basket Closing Level last in effect prior to commencement of the market disruption event (or prior to the non-trading day), using the value of the commodity futures contracts underlying the Basket Index or Indices, as applicable (or, if trading in the relevant commodities has been materially suspended or materially limited, the calculation agent’s good faith estimate of the value that would have prevailed but for the suspension or limitation or non-trading day) on such tenth scheduled business day for the Basket Index or Indices, as applicable.

     The maturity date will be specified in the relevant terms supplement. If the scheduled maturity date (as specified in the relevant terms supplement) is not a business day, then the maturity date will be the next succeeding business day following such scheduled maturity date. If, due to a market disruption event or otherwise, the final Basket Valuation Date is postponed so that it falls less than three business days prior to the scheduled maturity date, the maturity date will be the third business day following the final Basket Valuation Date, as postponed, unless otherwise specified in the relevant terms supplement. We describe market disruption events under “General Terms of Notes — Market Disruption Events.”

     We will irrevocably deposit with DTC no later than the opening of business on the applicable date funds sufficient to make payments of the amount payable with respect to the notes on such date. We will give DTC irrevocable instructions and authority to pay such amount to the holders of the notes entitled thereto.

     A “business day” is, unless otherwise specified in the relevant terms supplement, any day other than a day on which banking institutions in The City of New York are authorized or required by law, regulation or executive order to close or a day on which transactions in dollars are not conducted.

     Subject to the foregoing and to applicable law (including, without limitation, U.S. federal laws), we or our affiliates may, at any time and from time to time, purchase outstanding notes by tender, in the open market or by private agreement.

Notes Linked to a Single Basket Index

     If the relevant terms supplement specifies that the notes are linked to only one Basket Index, unless otherwise specified in the relevant terms supplement, all references to (1) the “Basket Return” will be deemed to refer to the Index Return of such Basket Index and may be referred to as the “Index Return” in the relevant terms supplement, (2) the “Ending Basket Level” will be deemed to refer to the closing level of such Basket Index and may be referred to as the “Ending Index Level” in the relevant terms supplement and (3) the “Starting Basket Level” will be deemed to refer to the closing level of such Basket Index on the pricing date or other relevant date specified in the relevant terms supplement, or the arithmetic average of the closing levels of such Basket Index on each of the Initial Averaging Dates and may be referred to as the “Initial Index Level” in the relevant terms supplement.

PS-53


RISK FACTORS

     Your investment in the notes will involve certain risks. The notes do not pay interest or guarantee any return of principal at, or prior to, maturity (other than the Additional Amount). Investing in the notes is not equivalent to investing directly in the Basket, any of the Basket Indices or any futures contracts or exchange-traded or over-the-counter instruments based on, or other instruments linked to, any of the Basket Indices. You should consider carefully the following discussion of risks before you decide that an investment in the notes is suitable for you.

The notes do not pay interest or guarantee the return of your investment.

     The notes do not pay interest and may not return any of your investment, other than the Additional Amount. The amount payable at maturity will reflect the performance of the Basket plus an Additional Amount, and will be determined pursuant to the terms described in this product supplement no. 154-I and the relevant terms supplement. If the Ending Basket Level has decreased as compared to the Starting Basket Level, you may lose some or all of your investment in the notes, although in all cases you will receive the Additional Amount at maturity.

The appreciation potential of the notes is limited to the Maximum Total Return, if applicable.

     If the notes are subject to a Maximum Total Return, the appreciation potential of the notes will be limited to the Maximum Total Return. Any applicable Maximum Total Return will be a percentage which we will determine on the pricing date and which will be set forth in the relevant terms supplement. Accordingly, if the relevant terms supplement specifies a Maximum Total Return for the notes, the appreciation potential of the notes will be limited to that Maximum Total Return even if the Basket Return multiplied by the upside leverage factor is greater than that Maximum Total Return.

The Basket Indices may not be equally weighted.

     Unless otherwise specified in the relevant terms supplement, the Basket Indices may have a different weight in determining the value of the Basket, depending on the Index Weighting specified for each Basket Index in the relevant terms supplement. For example, the relevant terms supplement may specify that the Index Weighting for the JPMCCI Crude Oil Index, JPMCCI Gasoline Index, JPMCCI Heating Oil Index, JPMCCI Natural Gas Index, JPMCCI Brent Crude Index, JPMCCI Gas Oil Index, JPMCCI Gold Index, JPMCCI Silver Index, JPMCCI Palladium Index, JPMCCI Platinum Index, JPMCCI Aluminum Index, JPMCCI Copper Index, JPMCCI Lead Index, JPMCCI Nickel Index, JPMCCI Zinc Index, JPMCCI Tin Index, JPMCCI Corn Index, JPMCCI Soybeans Index, JPMCCI Soybean Meal Index, JPMCCI Wheat Index, JPMCCI Rough Rice Index, JPMCCI Winter Wheat Index, JPMCCI Spring Wheat Index are 7%, 10%, 12%, 15%, 9%, 5%, 8%, 7%, 5%, 5% 5%, 2%, 2%, 3%, 3%, 1% and 1% respectively. One consequence of such an unequal weighting of the Basket Indices is that the same percentage change in two of the Basket Indices may have different effects on the Basket Closing Level. For example, if the Index Weighting for the JPMCCI Gasoline Index is greater than the Index Weighting for JPMCCI Heating Oil Index, a 5% decrease in the JPMCCI Gasoline will have a greater effect on the Basket Closing Level than a 5% decrease in the JPMCCI Heating Oil Index.

The Basket may consist of only one Basket Index.

     In certain cases, only one Basket Index may compose the entire Basket. If there is only one Basket Index, that Basket Index will be weighted as 100% of the Basket. In these cases, the Basket Closing Level will be determined with respect to the closing level of that single Basket Index.

The weight of each Basket Index may be determined on a date other than the pricing date.

     If so specified in the relevant terms supplement, the weight of each Basket Index in the Basket may be determined on a date or dates other than the pricing date. For example, the relevant terms supplement may specify that the weights of the Basket Indices in the Basket will be determined based on the relative magnitude of the Index Return of each Basket Index on the Observation Date. As a result, if the relevant terms supplement so specifies, you will not know the weight assigned to each Basket Index until a date later than the pricing date, and you may not know the weight assigned to each Basket Index in the Basket prior to the final Basket Valuation Date.

PS-54


Changes in the value of the Indices may offset each other.

     Unless otherwise specified in the relevant terms supplement, the notes are linked to a weighted Basket composed of the Basket Indices. Price movements in the Basket Indices may not correlate with each other. At a time when the value of one or more of the Basket Indices increases, the value of the other Basket Indices may not increase as much or may even decline. Therefore, in calculating the Ending Basket Level, increases in the value of one or more of the Basket Indices may be moderated, or more than offset, by lesser increases or declines in the level of the other Basket Index or Indices, particularly if the Basket Index or Indices that appreciate are of relatively low weight in the Basket. There can be no assurance that the Ending Basket Level will be higher than the Starting Basket Level or, if applicable, the Strike Level. You may lose some or all of your investment in the notes if the Ending Basket Level is lower than the Starting Basket Level or, if applicable, the Strike Level.

Commodity prices are characterized by high and unpredictable volatility, which could lead to high and unpredictable volatility in the Basket Indices.

     Market prices of the commodity options futures contracts underlying the Basket Indices tend to be highly volatile and may fluctuate rapidly based on numerous factors, including: changes in supply and demand relationships; governmental programs and policies, national and international monetary, trade, political and economic events, changes in interest and exchange rates, speculation and trading activities in commodities and related contracts, weather, and agricultural, trade, fiscal and exchange control policies. Many commodities are also highly cyclical. These factors may affect the level of the Basket Indices in varying ways, and different factors may cause the value of different commodities included in the Basket, and the commodity futures contracts of their prices, to move in inconsistent directions at inconsistent rates. This, in turn, will affect the value of the notes linked to the Basket.

     An investment in an instrument linked to the Basket Indices provides one avenue for exposure to commodities. The high volatility and cyclical nature of commodity markets may render such an investment inappropriate as the focus of an investment portfolio.

The commodity futures contracts underlying the Basket Indices are subject to legal and regulatory regimes that may change in ways that could affect our ability to hedge our obligations under the notes, could result in a modification of the Rules and/or could lead to the early acceleration of your notes.

     The commodity futures contracts that underlie the Basket Indices are subject to legal and regulatory regimes in the United States and, in some cases, in other countries that may change in ways that could negatively affect the value of the Basket Indices. For example, the United States House of Representatives and the United States Senate have considered legislation intended to decrease speculation and increase transparency in the commodities markets. If enacted such legislation may, among other things, require the United States Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) to adopt rules that would subject us to position limits on positions in commodity futures contracts.

     Changes to the legal or regulatory regimes applicable to the commodity futures contracts that underlie the Basket Indices could result in a modification of the Rules, which may, in turn, have a negative effect on the level of the Basket Indices and your payment, if any, at maturity.

     In addition, upon the occurrence of legal or regulatory changes that the calculation agent determines have interfered with our or our affiliates’ ability to hedge our obligations under the notes, or if for any other reason we or our affiliates are unable to enter into or maintain hedge positions the calculation agent deems necessary to hedge our obligations under the notes, we may, in our sole and absolute discretion, accelerate the payment on your notes early and pay you an amount determined in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner by the calculation agent. If the payment on your notes is accelerated, your investment may result in a loss and you may not be able to reinvest your money in a comparable investment. See “General Terms of Notes – Consequences of a Commodity Hedging Disruption Event.”

PS-55


JPMCCI lacks an operating history and may perform in unanticipated ways.

     JPMCCI was established in November 2007, and therefore lacks historical performance. Any back-testing or similar analysis in respect of the JPMCCI must be considered illustrative only and may be based on estimates or assumptions not used by the calculation agent when determining JPMCCI levels. Past performance should not be considered indicative of future performance.

An investment in the notes carries the risks associated with the JPMCCI’s open interest investment strategy.

     JPMCCI seeks to offer a diversified and representative approach to passive commodity investing. Unlike other commodity indices which focus exposure at a single maturity (traditionally, the front month contract or a single deferred contract), JPMCCI seeks to track exposure along the entire futures curve (i.e., exposure to futures contracts with different maturities) in proportion to their open interest.

     No assurance can be given that the investment strategy used to construct the JPMCCI will be successful or that the JPMCCI will outperform any alternative basket that might be constructed from commodity indices that focus exposure at a single maturity.

Suspension or disruptions of market trading in the commodity and related options futures markets may adversely affect the level of the Basket, and therefore the value of the notes.

     The commodity markets are subject to temporary distortions or other disruptions due to various factors, including the lack of liquidity in the markets, the participation of speculators and government regulation and intervention. In addition, U.S. futures exchanges and some foreign exchanges have regulations that limit the amount of fluctuation in options futures contract prices that may occur during a single business day. These limits are generally referred to as “daily price fluctuation limits” and the maximum or minimum price of a contract on any given day as a result of these limits is referred to as a “limit price.” Once the limit price has been reached in a particular contract, no trades may be made at a different price. Limit prices have the effect of precluding trading in a particular contract or forcing the liquidation of contracts at disadvantageous times or prices. These circumstances could adversely affect the level of the Basket Indices and, therefore, the value of your notes.

Higher future prices of the commodity futures contracts underlying the Basket Indices relative to the current prices of such contracts may affect the value of the Basket Indices and the value of the notes.

     The Basket Indices are composed of futures contracts on physical commodities. Unlike equities, which typically entitle the holder to a continuing stake in a corporation, commodity futures contracts normally specify a certain date for delivery of the underlying physical commodity. As the exchange-traded futures contracts that compose the Basket Indices approach expiration, they are replaced by contracts that have a later expiration. Thus, for example, a contract purchased and held in August may specify an October expiration. As time passes, the contract expiring in October is replaced with a contract for delivery in November. This process is referred to as “rolling.” If the market for these contracts is (putting aside other considerations) in “backwardation,” where the prices are lower in the distant delivery months than in the nearer delivery months, the sale of the October contract would take place at a price that is higher than the price of the November contract, thereby creating a positive “roll yield.” While many of the contracts included in the Basket Indices have historically exhibited consistent periods of backwardation, backwardation will most likely not exist at all times and there can be no assurance that backwardation will exist at times that are advantageous, with respect to your interests as a holder of the notes, to the valuation of the Basket Indices. The presence of contango in the commodity markets could result in negative “roll yields,” which could adversely affect the value of the Basket Indices and thus the value of notes linked to the Basket Indices.

PS-56


Some of the Basket Indices will be subject to pronounced risks of pricing volatility.

     As a general matter, the risk of low liquidity or volatile pricing around the maturity date of a commodity futures contract is greater than in the case of other commodity futures contracts. Many commodities, like those in the energy and industrial metals sectors, have fluid futures contracts on a comparative basis. Contracts based on certain other commodities, most notably agricultural and livestock products, tend to trade with substantially less liquidity on a comparative basis. Thus, these commodities can have further pronounced pricing volatility (compared to futures contracts on other commodities) during extended periods of low liquidity. However, with respect to Basket Indices related to energy futures contracts, it should also be noted that due to the significant level of continuous consumption, limited reserves, and oil cartel controls, futures contracts related to energy commodities are subject to rapid price increases in the event of perceived or actual shortages of such energy commodities.

Commodities prices are volatile and the roll return generated by rolling commodity futures included in the Basket Indices will have an effect on the level of the Basket Indices and the value of the notes.

     JPMCCI is comprised of commodity futures with different maturities selected on the basis of historical open interest. Each month, contracts that are about to mature, whose weighting in the Basket Indices have been decreased or that cease to be available for trading before the end of the next roll period will be rolled into contracts with different maturities. In addition, because JPMCCI is weighted by open-interest, all contracts included in JPMCCI will be re-weighted on a monthly basis, whether they are approaching maturity or not, to reflect the monthly change in their open interest. The act of replacing and re-weighting the commodity futures that comprise JPMCCI will generate a profit or loss known as the roll return. This return will be affected by a number of factors including, whether the prices of the relevant longer dated contracts are more or less than the prices of the shorter dated contracts. The roll return will generally be negative if the prices of the relevant longer dated contracts are greater than the prices of the shorter dated contracts. Conversely, if the prices of the longer dated contracts are less than the prices of the shorter dated contracts then the roll return will generally be positive. The prices of commodity futures can be volatile and the roll return generated by rolling commodity futures included in JPMCCI will have an effect, be positive or negative, on the JPMCCI, and therefore the level of the Basket Indices and the value of the notes.

There can be no assurance that the historical average open interest figures will resemble the actual open interest for any particular commodity futures contract.

     JPMCCI is intended to be a benchmark weighted across the commodity futures curve by open interest so that it is representative of the investment opportunities in the agricultural commodity futures market. However, it is impossible to weight by actual open interest because those figures cannot be determined at the time the weightings are calculated. JPMCCI is therefore weighted using historical average open interest figures, averaged over the previous three years. A three year average was chosen by the Index Calculation Agent to capture structural and cyclical shifts in liquidity and filter out any short term anomalies. However, there can be no assurance that the historical average open interest figures will resemble the actual open interest for any particular commodity futures contract.

There may be potential conflicts between your interests and those of JPMorgan Chase & Co., the Index Calculation Agent and other affiliates of ours.

     We and our affiliates play a variety of roles in connection with the notes linked to the Basket, including acting as Index Calculation Agent and hedging our obligations under such notes. In performing these duties, the economic interests of the Index Calculation Agent and other affiliates of ours would be potentially adverse to your interests as an investor in such notes.

PS-57


The Index Calculation Agent has discretion in relation to the JPMCCI and is under no obligation to consider your interests as holder of the notes.

     The Index Calculation Agent has responsibility for calculating and publishing JPMCCI levels. It is entitled to exercise discretion in relation to the JPMCCI, including but not limited to, the determination of the levels to be used in the event of market disruptions that affect its ability to calculate and publish the strategy and the interpretation of the JPMCCI rules. Although the Index Calculation Agent will make all determinations and take all action in relation to the JPMCCI acting in good faith, it should be noted that such discretion could have an impact, positive or negative, on JPMCCI levels. The Index Calculation Agent is under no obligation to consider your interests as a holder of the notes in taking any actions that might affect the value of your notes.

JPMCCI is not a fully diversified portfolio.

     Diversification is generally considered to reduce the amount of risk associated with generating returns. There can be no assurance, however, that an investment in an instrument related to the Basket Indices will be sufficiently diversified at any time to reduce or minimize such risks to any extent. In particular, if the Basket Indices are weighted, as specified in the relevant terms supplement, to reflect a relatively high concentration of exposure to certain JPMCCI indices, the extent to which your overall investment portfolio is diversified will be reduced relative to an investment in an instrument with less concentrated exposures.

Owning the notes is not the same as owning the commodities included in the Basket Indices.

     The return on your notes will not reflect the return you would realize if you actually held commodity contracts replicating the Basket Indices. JPMCCI is a hypothetical construct that does not hold any underlying assets of any kind. As a result, a holder of the notes will not have any direct or indirect rights to any commodity contracts or interests in the Basket Indices.

The Ending Basket Level may be less than the Basket Closing Level at the maturity date of the notes or at other times during the term of the notes.

     Because the Ending Basket Level will be calculated based on the Basket Closing Level on one or more Basket Valuation Dates near the end of the term of the notes, the Basket Closing Level at the maturity date or at various other times during the term of the notes, including dates near the Basket Valuation Date(s), could be higher than the Ending Basket Level. This difference could be particularly large if there is a significant increase in the prices of the commodity futures contracts included in the Basket Indices after the final Basket Valuation Date but prior to the maturity date, or if there is a significant decrease in the prices of the commodity futures contracts included in the Basket Indices around the time of the Basket Valuation Dates or if there is significant volatility in the Basket Closing Level during the term of the notes (especially on dates near the Basket Valuation Date(s)). For example, when the Basket Valuation Date for the notes is near the end of the term of the notes, then if the Basket Closing Level increases or remains relatively constant during the initial term of the notes and then decreases below the Starting Basket Level (or the Strike Level, if applicable), the Ending Basket Level may be significantly less than if it were calculated on a date earlier than the Basket Valuation Date. Under these circumstances, you may receive a lower payment at maturity than you would have received if you had invested in commodities included in the Basket Indices directly.

The Starting Levels for the Basket Indices may be determined after the issue date of the notes.

     If so specified in the relevant terms supplement, the Starting Levels for the Basket Indices will be determined based on the arithmetic average of the settlement prices, fixing levels or closing levels of the Basket Indices on the Initial Averaging Dates specified in that relevant terms supplement. One or more of the Initial Averaging Dates specified may occur on or following the issue date of the notes; as a result, the Starting Level for each Basket Index or Indices may not be determined, and you may therefore not know such value, until after the issue date. Similarly, the global note certificate constituting the notes, which will be deposited with DTC on the issue date as described under “General Terms of Notes — Book-Entry Only Issuance — The Depository Trust Company,” will not set forth the Starting Levels for the Basket Indices. The Starting Levels for the Basket Index or Indices will be used in the calculation of the various Basket Index Returns, and the Basket Returns will be used in calculating the Basket Return and the payment at maturity. If there are any changes in the settlement prices, fixing levels or closing levels for the Basket Indices on the Initial Averaging Dates that occur after the issue date and such changes result in the Starting Levels for one or more of the Basket Indices being higher or lower than the settlement prices, fixing levels or closing levels of such Basket Indices on the issue date, this may establish higher or lower levels that the Basket must achieve for you to obtain a positive return on your investment or avoid a loss of principal at maturity (other than the Additional Amount).

PS-58


Secondary trading may be limited.

     Unless otherwise specified in the relevant terms supplement, the notes will not be listed on a securities exchange. There may be little or no secondary market for the notes. Even if there is a secondary market, it may not provide enough liquidity to allow you to trade or sell the notes easily.

     J.P. Morgan Securities Inc., or JPMSI may act as a market maker for the notes, but is not required to do so. Because we do not expect that other market makers will participate significantly in the 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 JPMSI is willing to buy the notes. If at any time JPMSI or another Agent does not act as a market maker, it is likely that there would be little or no secondary market for the notes.

The notes are not designed to be short-term trading instruments.

     The price at which you will be able to sell your notes to us or our affiliates prior to maturity, if at all, may be at a substantial discount from the principal amount of the notes, even in cases where the Basket has appreciated since the pricing date. The potential returns described in the relevant terms supplement assume that your notes, which are not designed to be short-term trading instruments, are held to maturity.

Prior to maturity, the value of the notes will be influenced by many unpredictable factors.

     Many economic and market factors will influence the value of the notes. We expect that, generally, the level of the Basket Indices and interest rates on any day will affect the value of the notes more than any other single factor. However, you should not expect the value of the notes in the secondary market to vary in proportion to changes in the level of the Basket Indices. The value of the notes will be affected by a number of other factors that may either offset or magnify each other, including:

  • the expected volatility in the Basket Indices;

  • the time to maturity of the notes;

  • the market price of the physical commodities upon which the futures contracts that compose the Basket Indices are based;

  • interest and yield rates in the market generally;

  • economic, financial, political, regulatory, geographical, agricultural, meteorological or judicial events that affect the commodities included in the Basket Indices or markets generally and which may affect the value of the commodity futures contracts, and thus the closing levels of the Basket Indices; and

  • our creditworthiness, including actual or anticipated downgrades in our credit ratings.

     You cannot predict the future performance of the Basket based on its historical performance. The level of the Basket may decrease such that you may not receive any return of your investment at maturity, although in all cases you will still receive the Additional Amount. You will lose some or all of your investment if the Basket Return is negative, although in all cases you will still receive the Additional Amount.

The inclusion in the original issue price of each agent’s commission and the estimated cost of hedging our obligations under the notes through one or more of our affiliates is likely to adversely affect the value of the notes prior to maturity.

     While the payment at maturity will be based on the full principal amount of your notes as described in the relevant terms supplement, the original issue price of the notes includes each agent’s commission and the estimated cost of hedging our obligations under the notes through one or more of our affiliates. Such estimated cost includes our affiliates’ expected cost of providing such hedge, as well as the profit our affiliates expect to realize in consideration for assuming the risks inherent in providing such hedge. As a result, assuming no change in market conditions or any other relevant factors, the price, if any, at which JPMSI will be willing to purchase notes from you in secondary market transactions, if at all, will likely be lower than the original issue price. In addition, any such prices may differ from values determined by pricing models used by JPMSI, as a result of such compensation or other transaction costs.

PS-59


We or our affiliates may have adverse economic interests to the holders of the notes.

     JPMSI and other affiliates of ours trade the futures contracts included in the Basket Indices, options on such futures contracts, the individual commodities on which such futures contracts are based and other financial instruments related to the Basket Indices, such futures contracts, options or commodities on a regular basis, for their accounts and for other accounts under their management. JPMSI and these affiliates may also issue or underwrite or assist unaffiliated entities in the issuance or underwriting of other securities or financial instruments with returns linked to any of the commodities included in the JPMCCI. To the extent that we or one of our affiliates serves as issuer, agent or underwriter for such securities or financial instruments, our or their interests with respect to such products may be adverse to those of the holders of the notes. Any of these trading activities could potentially affect the level of one or more of the Basket Indices and, accordingly, could affect the value of the notes and the amount, if any, payable to you at maturity.

     We or one of our affiliates may currently or from time to time engage in trading activities related to the commodities on which the futures contracts included in the Basket Indices are based or the related futures contracts or options. We or one or more of our affiliates may also publish research reports, or otherwise express views, with respect to such investments or regarding expected movements in levels of the Basket indices or the commodities on which the futures contracts composing the Basket Indices are based or the related futures contracts or options. We do not make any representation or warranty to any purchaser of a note with respect to any matters whatsoever relating to such activities or future price movements of any of the Basket Indices.

     Additionally, we or one of our affiliates may serve as issuer, agent or underwriter for additional issuances of notes with returns linked or related to changes in the level of the Basket Indices or the price of the futures contracts composing the Basket Indices or the commodities upon which such futures contracts are based. By introducing competing products into the marketplace in this manner, we or one or more of our affiliates could adversely affect the value of the notes.

     We may hedge or have hedged our obligations under the notes through certain affiliates, who would expect to make a profit on such hedge. Because hedging our obligations entails risk and may be influenced by market forces beyond our or our affiliates’ control, such hedging may result in a profit that is more or less than expected, or it may result in a loss.

     JPMSI, one of our affiliates, will act as the calculation agent. The calculation agent will determine, among other things, the Starting Basket Level, the Ending Basket Level, the Basket Return, whether there has been a market disruption event or a discontinuance of any of the Basket Indices, the amount payable to you in the event of an early acceleration and whether there has been a material change in the method of calculating the Basket Indices. In performing these duties, JPMSI may have interests adverse to the interests of the holders of the notes, which may affect your return on the notes, particularly where JPMSI, as the calculation agent, is entitled to exercise discretion.

Market disruptions may adversely affect your return.

     The calculation agent may, in its sole discretion, determine that the markets have been affected in a manner that prevents it from properly determining the Basket Closing Level on any Basket Valuation Date or any Initial Averaging Date, if applicable, and calculating the amount that we are required to pay to you, if any, at maturity. These events may include disruptions or suspensions of trading in the markets as a whole or the termination or suspension of, or material limitation or disruption in the trading of any commodity futures contract included in one or more of the Basket Indices. If the calculation agent, in its sole discretion, determines that any of these events prevents us or any of our affiliates from properly hedging our obligations under the notes, it is possible that one or more of the Basket Valuation Dates and the maturity date will be postponed and your return will be adversely affected. In addition, if we or our affiliates are unable to effect transactions necessary to hedge our obligations under the notes, we have the right, but not the obligation, to accelerate the payment on your notes and pay you an amount determined in good faith in a commercially reasonable manner by the calculation agent. If the payment on your notes is accelerated, your investment may result in a loss and you may not be able to reinvest your money in a comparable investment. See “Description of Notes — Market Disruption Events” and “General Terms of Notes — Consequences of a Commodity Hedging Disruption Event.”

The tax consequences of an investment in the notes are unclear.

     There is no direct legal authority as to the proper U.S. federal income tax characterization of the notes, and we do not intend to request a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) regarding the notes. No assurance can be given that the IRS will accept, or that a court will uphold, the characterization and tax treatment of the notes described in “Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences.” If the IRS were successful in asserting an alternative characterization or treatment for the notes, the timing and character of income on the notes could differ materially from our description herein. In addition, on December 7, 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, which might include 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 that is subject to 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 30% unless they have submitted a properly completed IRS Form W-8BEN or otherwise satisfied the applicable documentation requirements. You should review carefully the section entitled “Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” in this product supplement no. 154-I and consult your tax adviser regarding your particular circumstances.

JPMorgan Chase & Co. employees holding the notes must comply with policies that limit their ability to trade the notes and may affect the value of their notes.

     If you are an employee of JPMorgan Chase & Co. or one of its affiliates, you may only acquire the notes for investment purposes and you must comply with all of our internal policies and procedures. Because these policies and procedures limit the dates and times that you may transact in the notes, you may not be able to purchase any notes described in the relevant terms supplement from us and your ability to trade or sell any such notes in the secondary market may be limited.

PS-61


USE OF PROCEEDS

     Unless otherwise specified in the relevant terms supplement, the net proceeds we receive from the sale of the notes will be used for general corporate purposes and, in part, by us or by one or more of our affiliates in connection with hedging our obligations under the notes. The original issue price of the notes includes each agent’s commissions (as shown on the cover page of the relevant terms supplement) paid with respect to the notes and the estimated cost of hedging our obligations under the notes.

     Unless otherwise specified in the relevant terms supplement, each agent’s commissions will include the projected profit that our affiliates expect to realize in consideration for assuming the risks inherent in hedging our obligations under the notes. Because hedging our obligations entails risk and may be influenced by market forces beyond our or our affiliates’ control, our projected profit resulting from such hedging may result in a profit that is more or less than expected, or could result in a loss. See also “Use of Proceeds” in the accompanying prospectus.

     On or prior to the date of the relevant terms supplement, we, through our affiliates or others, may hedge some or all of our anticipated exposure in connection with the notes by taking positions in instruments the value of which is derived from the Basket Indices, or positions in options or futures contracts included in such Basket Indices, or positions in related options or futures contracts. While we cannot predict an outcome, such hedging activity or other hedging or investment activities of ours could potentially increase the level of the Basket Indices, and therefore effectively establish a higher level that the Basket must achieve for you to obtain a return on your investment or to avoid a loss of principal at maturity. From time to time, prior to maturity of the notes, we may pursue a dynamic hedging strategy that may involve taking long or short positions in the instruments described above. Although we have no reason to believe that any of these activities will have a material impact on the price of commodity futures contracts that determine the level of the Basket Indices, or the value of the notes, we cannot assure you that these activities will not have such an effect.

     We have no obligation to engage in any manner of hedging activity and will do so solely at our discretion and for our own account. No note holder will have any rights or interest in our hedging activity or any positions we may take in connection with our hedging activity.

THE JPMORGAN COMMODITY CURVE INDEX

     The following is a qualitative description of the 2008 edition of the rules for the JPMorgan Commodity Curve Index, as of November 2007 and as amended in April 2008 (the “Index Rules”). A copy of the Index Rules is attached to this product supplement as Annex A. For a more detailed and quantitative description of the Index Rules, please see Annex A attached to this product supplement. The Index Rules, and not this description, will govern the calculation and constitution of the JPMorgan Commodity Curve Index and other decisions and actions related to the JPMorgan Commodity Curve Index’s calculation and maintenance, including (but not limited to) the calculation of each constituent’s index values.

     The JPMorgan Commodity Curve Index is the intellectual property of J.P. Morgan Securities Ltd., and J.P. Morgan Securities Ltd. reserves all rights with respect to its ownership of the JPMorgan Commodity Curve Index. JPMorgan Chase & Co. makes no representation or warranty as to the accuracy or completeness of the information regarding the JPMorgan Commodity Curve Index contained in, or attached as an annex to, this Product Supplement.

General

     The JPMorgan Commodity Curve Index (collectively, with its constituent single commodity indices, sector indices and aggregate index, “JPMCCI”) is an index family that seeks to offer a diversified and representative approach to passive commodity investing. Unlike other commodity indices that focus exposure at a single maturity (traditionally, the front month contract or a single deferred contract), JPMCCI seeks to track exposure along the entire futures curve (i.e., exposure to futures contracts with different maturities) for each commodity included in any JPMCCI Constituent Index, as defined below under “— JPMCCI Index Types”) in proportion to their “open interest.”

     “Open interest,” refers to the total number of outstanding futures contracts with respect to a particular commodity that are held by market participants. At any time, open interest refers to the total number of open futures contracts with respect to a particular physical commodity at any time and can be used to determine the approximate size of a particular commodity futures market, a segment of that market or the market for an individual commodity futures contract. Commodity futures are different from other investments, such as equities. Whereas an equity security represents an ownership interest in a particular company and theoretically may exist in perpetuity, a commodity futures contract is a financial contract that obligates a buyer to purchase a specific quantity of a commodity on a future date. On that future date, the contract is settled and terminated. Buyers and sellers enter into or “open” these contracts at different monthly maturities on different exchanges, and open interest is a measure of the size of the market in these existing contracts.

     As used in this product supplement no. 154-I, the “futures curve,” is the hypothetical curve created by plotting contract prices for futures contracts of a particular commodity or a group of commodities along a vertical axis at different contract maturities along a horizontal axis. This “curve” is representative of commodity prices at different contract maturities and is typically upward sloping (i.e., in contango) or downward sloping (i.e., in backwardation).

     As of the date of this product supplement no. 154-I, JPMCCI uses open interest in the futures curve for certain commodities market traded on the New York Mercantile Exchange (the “NYMEX”), the Chicago Board of Trade (the “CBOT”), the London Metals Exchange (“LME”), the Kansas City Board of Trade (“KCBOT”), the Minneapolis Grain Exchange (“MGE”), the New York Board of Trade (“NYBOT”), IntercontinentalExchange, Inc. (“ICE”), Euronext.LIFFE (“LIFFE”), the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (the “CME”) and COMEX to determine the inclusion and relative weights of the individual commodity futures contract included in JPMCCI. Each commodity’s monthly contract compositions are determined by reference to the historical distribution of the open interest of contracts across the futures curve for the relevant calendar month in each of the preceding three years. Although positions will be evaluated for potential adjustments on a monthly basis, many contracts are deemed held by JPMCCI for multiple months, and upon a rebalancing, deferred months move forward and positions are added (or subtracted) to reflect the historical monthly open interest in the futures curve.

PS-63


     In November of each calendar year, the Index Calculation Agent (as defined below) reviews the then-current Potential JPMCCI Exchange Commodities (as defined below), and, subject to the review of the JPMCCI Supervisory Committee (as defined below), determines and publishes the JPMCCI Exchange Commodities (as defined below) for the following calendar year on the JPMCCI Exchange Commodity Publication Date. “JPMCCI Exchange Commodity Publication Date” means, for each calendar year, a date determined by the Index Calculation Agent that occurs on or before the last Scheduled Index Valuation Date (as defined below) in November of each calendar year.

     The following table sets for the hypothetical historical percentage composition and contract allocations from July 2007 to December 2007 for the JPMCCI Crude Oil Index, which is based off of the historical open interest of the NYMEX WTI crude oil futures contract. The information set forth in the following table was based on the historical information available to JPMSL and was produced based on the rules governing JPMCCI. We make no representation or warranty as to the accuracy or completeness of the information obtained from JPMSL. The hypothetical back-tested values of the specific contracts and percentage compositions deemed held by JPMCCI in various months should not be taken as indication of the future percentage composition of this sub-index. No assurances can be given as to the future percentage composition of a JPMCCI Index. The following table is solely for informational purposes and should only be used to illustrate the manner in which futures contracts are deemed held at deferred points of the futures curve and how positions are increased (or decreased) monthly based on distribution of open interest on the futures curve.

2007 37.7% 12.4% 6.1% 14.9% 5.0% 5.5% 11.7% 6.7%

2007 38.9% 11.9% 8.2% 5.3% 8.9% 12.9% 9.1% 4.7%
December Feb-08 Mar-08 Apr-08 May-08 Jun-08 Dec-08 Dec-09 Dec-10
2007 33.3% 15.8% 8.2% 5.0% 9.4% 13.9% 9.4% 5.1%

     As illustrated above, JPMCCI synthetically owns contracts at deferred points on the futures curve, and each month as those positions move forward in time, positions are added to (or subtracted from) to obtain the desired weighting. For example, in July 2007, the Crude Oil JPMCCI Index had a 12.4% exposure to the October 2007 NYMEX WTI futures contract, and in August 2007, that allocation was increased to 35.6%. In that example, additional contracts were purchased wile the existing contracts were held to account for a 23.2% increase in exposure to the October 2007 contract for August 2007. As compared to other commodity indices, in July 2007, other commodity indices would have 100% of their exposure in the September contract, and upon rolling its hypothetical positions to August 2007, other indices would sell their entire exposure to the September contract and establish an entirely new position in the October 2007 contract.

     JPMCCI is described as a “notional” or “synthetic” portfolio or basket because there is no actual portfolio of assets to which any person is entitled nor in which any person has any ownership interest. Instead, JPMCCI identifies certain assets in the market, the performance of which will be used as a reference point for the purposes of calculating the value of JPMCCI.

JPMCCI Index Types

     J.P. Morgan Securities Ltd. (“JPMSL”), an affiliate of JPMorgan Chase & Co., launched JPMCCI in November 2007 and currently maintains and calculates thirty-two single commodity indices (each, a “JPMCCI Single Commodity Index”), eight sector indices (each, a “JPMCCI Sector Index”), an aggregate commodity index (the “JPMCCI Aggregate Index”), and a variation of the JPMCCI Aggregate Index with a lesser weighting given to the energy sector components (the “JPMCCI Energy Light Index”) (each, a “JPMCCI Constituent Index” and together, the “JPMCCI Constituent Indices”).

     JPMSL is solely responsible for the development, calculation and publication of JPMCCI. The performance of each JPMCCI Constituent Index is available in three different types of indices: a Price Index, an Excess Return Index and a Total Return Index:

  • The “Price Index” for each JPMCCI Constituent Index measures the aggregate price levels of the relevant commodity futures contract(s) of such JPMCCI Constituent Index;

  • The “Excess Return Index” for each JPMCCI Constituent Index measures the return from a hypothetical investment in the relevant commodity futures contract(s) of such JPMCCI Constituent Index, taking into account the effect of any monthly composition changes with respect to the relevant commodity(s) in each roll period; and

  • The “Total Return Index” for each JPMCCI Constituent Index measures the return from a fully collateralized hypothetical investment in the relevant commodity futures contract(s) of such JPMCCI Constituent Index, taking into account the monthly rolling of those contracts. (Section A.2 of the Index Rules)

     The table below presents the constituents of JPMCCI as of the date of this product supplement no. 154-I, each in its respective the Price Index, Excess Return Index and Total Return Index variants along with the applicable Bloomberg ticker symbol. Currently, 45 constituent indices are in JPMCCI.

JPMCCI Methodology

     Selection of JPMCCI Exchange Commodities

     JPMSL acts as the calculation agent for JPMCCI. When discussing JPMSL’s role as the calculation agent, we refer to JPMSL as the “Index Calculation Agent.” The Index Calculation Agent selects the commodities futures contracts that will be considered for inclusion in JPMCCI each year (the “JPMCCI Exchange Commodities”). A two-stage process is followed by the Index Calculation Agent under the supervision of the JPMCCI Supervisory Committee to select futures contracts to be included in JPMCCI in any given year. First, the Index Calculation Agent identifies Potential JPMCCI Exchange Commodities and, second, the Index Calculation Agent selects JPMCCI Exchange Commodities for inclusion in JPMCCI.

     “Potential JPMCCI Exchange Commodity” means each physical commodity futures contract (but in respect of which physical delivery is not a requirement for inclusion in this definition) which:

  • is listed on an exchange that meets the geographical or other criteria published by Index Calculation Agent from time to time;

  • is denominated in U.S. dollars;

PS-67


  • has an Estimated Market Size of at least $250 million. If a Potential JPMCCI Exchange Commodity is already included in JPMCCI, its Estimated Market Size must not have fallen below $150 million as of the relevant JPMCCI Exchange Commodity Publication Date. The “Estimated Market Size” means, in respect of a Potential JPMCCI Exchange Commodity on any day, a notional amount expressed in U.S. dollars equal to the most recent complete thirty-six monthly average historical open interest on such day calculated using data published by the Futures Industry Association for such exchange commodity multiplied by the settlement price for the monthly contract on such exchange commodity with the nearest expiration date on the last Scheduled Index Valuation Day in October of the applicable year; provided that the Index Calculation Agent may, in its good faith and commercially reasonable judgment, use a shorter historical period in respect of Potential JPMCCI Exchange Commodities that have a shorter trading history or as other data limitations necessitate.

  • has a sufficiently liquid market for general trading, as determined by the Index Calculation Agent in a good faith and commercially reasonable manner and subject to the review of the JPMCCI Supervisory Committee;

  • is not a “mini-contract” (as defined by the Relevant Exchange) or a swap contract, basis contract, spread contract or weather contract, as determined by the Index Calculation Agent.

  • has traded for at least one year prior to its inclusion in JPMCCI, unless the Index Calculation Agent waives this requirement. The Index Calculation Agent may waive this requirement if it determines, in its good faith and commercially reasonable judgment, and subject to the review of the JPMCCI Supervisory Committee, that the JPMCCI Exchange Commodity’s significance in terms of investor interest is so great that its omission would significantly undermine the representativeness of JPMCCI; and

  • has sufficient data available to allow the Index Calculation Agent to appropriately determine its historical performance and analyze its performance on an on-going basis, determined based on the existence of adequate independent historical data. The Index Calculation Agent may determine that the historical performance of a Potential JPMCCI Exchange Commodity may be reasonably calculated in the absence of what would normally be considered adequate independent historical data. (Section B.1 of the Index Rules)

     “JPMCCI Exchange Commodity” means, with respect to the version of JPMCCI established in a particular calendar year (e.g., the 2008 version of JPMCCI established in November 2007), each Potential JPMCCI Exchange Commodity chosen for inclusion in JPMCCI in that calendar year. The Index Calculation Agent will select for inclusion in JPMCCI, subject to the review of the JPMCCI Supervisory Committee, each Potential JPMCCI Exchange Commodity which (a) is not related to milk, electricity or coal, (b) is not “Sugar #14” (traded on NYBOT) and (c) with respect to aluminum (i.e., High Grade Primary Aluminum, Aluminum Alloy and North American Special Aluminum Alloy), the aluminum futures contract with the greatest open interest.

     On each JPMCCI Exchange Commodity Publication Date, the Index Calculation Agent will calculate and publish the JPMCCI Exchange Commodities for inclusion in JPMCCI for the following calendar year. In addition, the composition of the JPMCCI Sector Indices for the following calendar year are determined by the Index Calculation Agent on each JPMCCI Exchange Commodity Publication Date, subject to the review and approval of the JPMCCI Supervisory Committee. The Index Calculation Agent may introduce additional JPMCCI Sector Indices on any future date.

     Based on the above criteria, the 2008 composition for JPMCCI includes two new JPMCCI Exchange Commodities, London Mercantile Exchange (“LME”) Tin and Chicago Board of Trade (“CBOT”) Rough Rice. (Appendix G, Table 1 of the Index Rules)

PS-68


     The table below sets forth two JPMCCI Exchange Commodities that were reviewed for inclusion in the 2008 version of JPMCCI in November 2007. If the Estimated Market Size is below $250 million, the Potential JPMCCI Exchange Commodity is not considered. The final inclusion decision is indicated in the last column. Estimated market sizes are computed using settlement prices as of October 31, 2007. See Appendix H, Table 4 of the Index Rules for a complete description of the Commodity Inclusion Process and list of JPMCCI Exchange Commodities reviewed for inclusion in JPMCCI in 2008.

     In certain exceptional cases, the Index Calculation Agent may substitute a JPMCCI Exchange Commodity with a physical commodity futures contract not then selected as a JPMCCI Exchange Commodity, such as when a JPMCCI Exchange Commodity is known to be ceasing trading in the future and a new physical commodity futures contract has emerged as a natural substitute for such existing JPMCCI Exchange Commodity, as determined by the Index Calculation Agent in a good faith and commercially reasonable manner, subject to the review of the JPMCCI Supervisory Committee. For example, the replacement contract proposed by the Relevant Exchange for a discontinued JPMCCI Exchange Commodity will generally constitute a “natural substitute.” In making the calculation of Aggregate Commodity Units (as defined below) and Monthly Contract Weights (as defined below) upon such substitution, the Index Calculation Agent relies on a combination of data based on such affected JPMCCI Exchange Commodity and the Potential JPMCCI Exchange Commodity that will be introduced as a result of the Index Calculation Agent’s determination. The methodology by which any such substitution will be effected will be announced by the Index Calculation Agent as soon as reasonably practicable in the circumstances then prevailing. The Index Calculation Agent will obtain the approval of the JPMCCI Supervisory Committee prior to making any substitutions or other changes described in this paragraph. (Section B.2 of the Index Rules)

“Aggregate Commodity Units” means, in relation to the JPMCCI Aggregate Indices, the JPMCCI Energy Light Indices and the JPMCCI Sector Indices, the average monthly units of each JPMCCI Exchange Commodity over a three year period ending on a given calendar year corresponding to contracts outstanding used in calculating the JPMCCI Aggregate Indices, the JPMCCI Energy Light Indices and the JPMCCI Sector Indices. In the case of the Aggregate Commodity Units in relation to the JPMCCI Energy Light Indices, the Aggregate Commodity Units corresponding to the JPMCCI Exchange Commodities included in the energy JPMCCI Sector Indices may be adjusted in order to assign the energy sector Estimated Post Rebalance Market Capitalization (as defined in Section C.3 of the Index Rules) a maximum of 33% of the total Estimated Post Rebalance Market Capitalization related to the JPMCCI Energy Light Indices.

“Monthly Contract Weight” means, with respect to any JPMCCI Exchange Commodity, the weighting allocated in the relevant Composition to a given Monthly Contract with respect to a JPMCCI Exchange Commodity as discussed in more detail in “— Monthly Calculation of Monthly Contract Weights” below.

“Composition” means, with respect to each JPMCCI Exchange Commodity and each month, the hypothetical portfolio of Monthly Contracts and associated Monthly Contract Weights.

PS-69


“Monthly Contract” means, with respect to each JPMCCI Exchange Commodity and each month, the contract considered most associated to such month as determined by the Index Calculation Agent based (i) with respect to all JPMCCI Exchange Commodities other than JPMCCI Exchange Commodities that are traded on the London Metals Exchange, the contract designated by the Relevant Exchange (typically being the contract that will expire in such month, or the contract in which delivery or settlement will occur immediately following such month) that (ii) with respect to a JPMCCI Exchange Commodity whose Relevant Exchange is the London Metals Exchange, the Monthly Contract will be the relevant contract expiring on the third Wednesday of such month.

     Representation of JPMCCI Exchange Commodities and Monthly Contract Open Interest

     When there is more than one eligible Potential JPMCCI Exchange Commodity related to a particular underlying physical commodity, the Index Calculation Agent may, where deemed appropriate and subject to the approval of the JPMCCI Supervisory Committee, aggregate the Monthly Contract Open Interest of similar non-selected Potential JPMCCI Exchange Commodities with those of the relevant JPMCCI Exchange Commodities and thus increase the number of Aggregate Commodity Units for the relevant JPMCCI Exchange Commodity. (Section B.3 of the Index Rules)

     The Monthly Contracts combined as described in Section B.3 of the Index Rules will be published in May and November of each calendar year and as additionally necessary in light of market developments between those months. The table below sets out the four currently selected JPMCCI Exchange Commodities whose Monthly Contract Open Interest has been combined with non-selected potential alternative JPMCCI Exchange Commodities as of the date of this product supplement no. 154-I. (Appendix G of the Index Rules)

Open Interest for: Combined for JPMCCI Exchange Commodity
since
ICE Crude Oil NYMEX Crude Oil Feb-2006
ICE Heating Oil NYMEX Heating Oil Apr-2006
CBOT Gold COMEX Gold Oct-2004
CBOT Silver COMEX Silver Oct-2004

     The Index Calculation Agent will publish any changes or additions to the combinations set forth in the table above on or before the effective date of any changes and/or additions.

     Final Inclusion Determination and Rebalancing Announcement

     The Index Calculation Agent will present to the JPMCCI Supervisory Committee for review the JPMCCI Exchange Commodities for any given year after the completion of the procedures set forth above. The Index Calculation Agent will publish the determination of the JPMCCI Exchange Commodities for a given year no later than the last Scheduled Index Valuation Day in November of each calendar year immediately preceding the relevant year for inclusion. (Section B.4 of the Index Rules)

     Calculation of Monthly Contract Weights

     Each JPMCCI Exchange Commodity included in a JPMCCI Constituent Index includes one or more Monthly Contracts related to such JPMCCI Exchange Commodity (except in circumstances of substitution of contracts, where the Monthly Contracts may be related to different JPMCCI Exchange Commodities). Each JPMCCI Exchange Commodity included in a JPMCCI Constituent Index is thus represented by futures contracts from across its respective futures curve, as described under “— General” above, with a range of maturities (and which are weighted according to their respective open interests).

PS-70


     The Composition with respect to each JPMCCI Exchange Commodity is determined monthly by averaging the historical open interests of relevant futures contracts across the futures curve for such JPMCCI Exchange Commodity in the relevant calendar month in each of the preceding three years, which is intended to capture shifts of open interest in each relevant futures contract along the futures curve. For example, to determine the weightings of the Monthly Contracts for a JPMCCI Exchange Commodity in July 2008, the Index Calculation Agent will determine the numerical unweighted average of the open interests for each Monthly Contract available on such JPMCCI Exchange Commodity in July 2005, July 2006 and July 2007.

     First, the Index Calculation Agent will calculate the “Monthly Contract Open Interest” in month m, denominated in physical units, for the JPMCCI Exchange Commodity c Monthly Contract expiring n months after month m, through the following formula:

where:

           is the Daily Contract Open Interest on day d of month m, denominated in number of contracts, for JPMCCI Exchange Commodity c Monthly Contract expiring n months after month m;
     
  is the set of all days in month m for which open interest data for one or more Monthly Contracts of JPMCCI Exchange Commodity c is obtainable by the Index Calculation Agent from the relevant information source (as set out in Table X of Appendix Y of the Index Rules);
   

 

 

is the number of physical units of JPMCCI Exchange Commodity c represented by one contract, given the contract specification (e.g. the number of barrels underlying one crude oil futures contract).

For example, if m corresponds to March 2001 and n=15, the Monthly Contract being referred to would be the June 2002 contract. In this example, the Monthly Contract Open Interest in March 2001 for a JPMCCI Exchange Commodity would represent the sum of the total number of June 2002 contracts for such JPMCCI Exchange Commodity outstanding on each Scheduled Valuation Day in March 2001 multiplied by the number of physical units represented by one contract for that JPMCCI Exchange Commodity. (Section D.2 of the Index Rules)

     Next, the Index Calculation Agent will calculate the monthly contract open interest percentage (“MCOIP”) in month m, for JPMCCI Exchange Commodity c Monthly Contract expiring n months after month m, through the following formula:

The MCOIP for a JPMCCI Exchange Commodity represents the percentage of total market open interest for such JPMCCI Exchange Commodity represented by a futures contract in a given month. Continuing with the example from the previous paragraph, if the MCOIP for a June 2002 contract in March 2001 was 500 and the sum of the Monthly Contract Open Interests for all monthly contracts in March 2001 was 10,000, then the MCOIP for June 2002 contracts would be 5%. (Section D.3 of the Index Rules)

PS-71


     Then, the Index Calculation Agent will calculate the historical monthly contract open interest percentage (“HMCOIP”) in month m, for the JPMCCI Exchange Commodity c Monthly Contract expiring n months after month m, through the following formula:

Continuing with the example from the previous two paragraphs, the HMCOIP for a JPMCCI Exchange Commodity for a June 2003 contract in March 2002 is the arithmetic average of:

(a) the MCOIP for that JPMCCI Exchange Commodity’s June 2002 contract in March 2001 (as calculated in the last paragraph);

(b) the MCOIP for that JPMCCI Exchange Commodity’s June 2001 contract in March 2000;

(c) the MCOIP for that JPMCCI Exchange Commodity’s June 2000 contract in March 1999. (Section D.4 of the Index Rules)

     Finally, the Monthly Contract Weights and Composition for each JPMCCI Exchange Commodity are determined. The following Monthly Contracts are excluded:

(a) Monthly Contracts with a HMCOIP of less than 3%; and

(b) Monthly Contracts due to expire, in which there will be a Last Trading Day (as defined below) or First Notice Day (as defined below) prior to the last anticipated Roll Day (as defined below in “— Rolling Process”) or if the Monthly Contract is traded on the London Metals Exchange, Monthly Contracts in which there will be a Last Trading Day in a month in which the last anticipated Roll Day falls. (Section D.5 of the Index Rules)

The “Monthly Contract Weight” for month m for JPMCCI Exchange Commodity c Monthly Contract expiring n months after month m is:

where:

             is the set of all Monthly Contracts for JPMCCI Exchange Commodity c in month m that are not excluded by the exclusion rules set forth above

For Monthly Contracts that are excluded by the exclusion rules set forth in the formula above, the Monthly Contract Weight will be deemed to equal zero. The Monthly Contract Weight represents the HMCOIP for a Monthly Contract of the relevant JPMCCI Exchange Commodity in a given month that is not excluded, divided by the total sum of the HMCOIP for all Monthly Contracts for such JPMCCI Exchange Commodity in a given month that are not excluded. (Section D.5 of the Index Rules)

“Last Trading Day” means the final day on that a given Monthly Contract may trade or be closed out before delivery of the relevant JPMCCI Exchange Commodity must occur.

“First Notice Day” means the first day a notice of intent to deliver a JPMCCI Exchange Commodity can be made by a clearinghouse to a buyer in fulfillment of a given month’s futures contract.

PS-72


     Rolling Process

     All JPMCCI Exchange Commodities included in JPMCCI will be deemed to be rolled before their respective maturities into futures contracts with maturities in the more-distant future. JPMCCI Exchange Commodities nominally included in JPMCCI that are approaching maturity will generally be rolled in the calendar month immediately preceding the month in which they are due to mature. In addition, JPMCCI is weighted by open interest, and, thus, all Monthly Contracts included in JPMCCI are re-weighted on a monthly basis whether they are approaching maturity or not to reflect the monthly change in their respective open interests. The re-weighting is achieved by rolling the Monthly Contracts included in the relevant JPMCCI Constituent Index into contracts with a different maturity.

     Monthly Contracts included in JPMCCI are deemed to be rolled over a period of the first ten Scheduled Index Valuation Days (each day, a “Roll Day”) of the relevant month, subject to postponement if any such Roll Day is a Disrupted Day (as defined below in “— Calculation and Publication of JPMCCI Values”). Over this period, the Monthly Contract Weight of any Monthly Contract about to mature will be progressively reduced in equal increments of 10% until its weight equals zero and the weight of the replacement Monthly Contract will be progressively increased in equal increments of 10% until it equals its allocated Monthly Contract Weight. Similarly, Monthly Contracts whose Monthly Contract Weights are scheduled to be reduced or increased to reflect a change in their respective open interests will have their respective Monthly Contract Weights progressively reduced or increased, as applicable, in equal increments of 10% until their respective new Monthly Contract Weights are achieved. (Section D.7 of the Index Rules)

     If a scheduled Roll Day is a Disrupted Day, then (i) the Monthly Contract Weight will not be amended on that day and (ii) the portion of the Monthly Contract Weight that would have been amended on that day will be amended on the next following Scheduled Index Valuation Day (as defined below in “— Calculation and Publication of JPMCCI Values”) that is not a Disrupted Day. This delayed portion of the deemed roll will be executed on the next following Scheduled Index Valuation Day that is not a Disrupted Day, along with the portion of the deemed roll for all such contracts originally scheduled to occur on such Scheduled Index Valuation Day. Therefore, the incremental change in Monthly Contract Weight for these contracts on the relevant next following Scheduled Index Valuation Day that is not a Disrupted Day will be larger than 10% of the Monthly Contract Weight. (Section D.7 of the Index Rules)

     Portfolio Continuity Factors

     “Portfolio Continuity Factors” are factors introduced to prevent discontinuities in the JPMCCI Aggregate Indices, the JPMCCI Energy Light Indices and the JPMCCI Sector Indices when rebalancing occurs (in December) from one set of Aggregate Commodity Units to the next set of Aggregate Commodity Units. Portfolio Continuity Factors for each JPMCCI Sector Index are calculated in the same manner as for the JPMCCI Aggregate Index, except that only the Aggregate Commodity Units of the JPMCCI Exchange Commodities relevant to the JPMCCI Sector Index in question will be used in the calculations. (Sections E.1, E.2 and E.3 of the Index Rules)

The Portfolio Continuity Factor PCFy for year y is expressed as follows:

PS-73


where:

           means December in year y-1
     
  means the last Index Valuation Day in year y-1
     
  means the Settlement Price denominated in U.S. dollars per physical unit of the commodity underlying the JPMCCI Exchange Commodity as of day d, for the JPMCCI Exchange Commodity c Monthly Contract expiring n months after month m
   

 

     At inception is set so that (see below) is equal to 100.

     Calculation and Publication of JPMCCI Values

     The level of each JPMCCI Constituent Index will be published on each Scheduled Index Valuation Day (as defined below), even if such day is a Limit Day (as defined below); provided, however, that the Index Calculation Agent will not be obliged to publish any level of any JPMCCI Constituent Index upon the occurrence or continuation of a Force Majeure Event (as defined below). If for any reason a settlement price for a given Monthly Contract cannot be obtained, then the Index Calculation Agent will use the most recently available settlement price to determine the level of the relevant JPMCCI Constituent Index. In these circumstances, the level of the relevant JPMCCI Constituent Index will only approximate the actual performance of the commodity futures contracts that compose such JPMCCI Constituent Index. (Section D.6 of the Index Rules) All JPMCCI levels calculated are rounded to the fifth decimal. (Section F of the Index Rules)

     The JPMCCI Single Commodity Price Index Level for JPMCCI Exchange Commodity c on Index Valuation Day d is:

where:

           is the month on which Index Valuation Day d falls

         The JPMCCI Single Commodity Excess Return Index Level for JPMCCI Exchange Commodity c on Index Valuation Day d is:

Where:

for JPMCCI Exchange Commodity c on Index Valuation Day d means the following:

     On the Inception Date, each JPMCCI Single Commodity Excess Return Index Level or =100.

PS-74


     The JPMCCI Single Commodity Total Return Index Level or for JPMCCI Exchange Commodity c on Index Valuation Day d is:

where:

          

is the “US Treasury Bill Return” on calendar day d, calculated as follows:



          

is the 91-day auction high rate for U.S. Treasury Bills on the most recent weekly auction date available on the calendar day immediately preceding the calendar day d

     
 

A

     On the Inception Date, JPMCCI Single Commodity Total Return Index Level or =100.

     The JPMCCI Aggregate Price Index Level or on Index Valuation Day d is:


where:

           is the year in which month falls

     On the Inception Date, the JPMCCI Aggregate Price Index Level or =100

     The JPMCCI Aggregate Excess Return Index Level or on Index Valuation Day d, is:

where the “Aggregate Daily Excess Return” for Index Valuation Day d is:


where:

     

PS-75


On the Inception Date, the JPMCCI Aggregate Excess Return Index Level =100.

     The JPMCCI Aggregate Total Return Index Level or on Index Valuation Day d, is:

On the Inception Date, JPMCCI Aggregate Total Return Index Level or =100.

     JPMCCI Sector Price Indices, JPMCCI Excess Return Indices and JPMCCI Total Return Indices are calculated in the same manner as the JPMCCI Aggregate Indices, except that only the Aggregate Commodity Units of the JPMCCI Exchange Commodities included in the relevant JPMCCI Sector Index are used in the calculation of the relevant JPMCCI Sector Index. (Section F.7 of the Index Rules)

     The JPMCCI Energy Light Price Index, the JPMCCI Energy Light Excess Return Index and the JPMCCI Energy Light Total Return Index are calculated in the same manner as the JPMCCI Aggregate Indices, except that the Aggregate Commodity Units of the JPMCCI Exchange Commodities included in the energy JPMCCI Sector Indices used in the calculations for the JPMCCI Energy Light Indices may be adjusted to compose a maximum of 33% of the total Aggregate Commodity Units related to the JPMCCI Energy Light Indices. (Section F.8 of the Index Rules)

“Limit Day” means, with respect to a JPMCCI Exchange Commodity and its Relevant Exchange, any day on which there is a limitation on, or suspension of, the trading of options or futures contracts on any physical commodity that underlies a relevant JPMCCI Exchange Commodity imposed by the Relevant Exchange for such JPMCCI Exchange Commodity by reason of movements exceeding “limit up” or “limit down” levels permitted by the Relevant Exchange and that has a material adverse effect on trading volumes and liquidity as compared to other Scheduled Trading Days as determined by the Index Calculation Agent in its commercially reasonable discretion.

“Scheduled Index Valuation Day” means, for any JPMCCI Constituent Index, each Scheduled Trading Day with respect to at least 50% of the JPMCCI Exchange Commodities constituting such JPMCCI Constituent Index.

“Scheduled Trading Day” means, with respect to a JPMCCI Exchange Commodity, a day on which the Relevant Exchange for such JPMCCI Exchange Commodity is scheduled to be open for trading for its regular trading sessions and to publish a settlement price for such JPMCCI Exchange Commodity.

“Disrupted Day” means, with respect to a JPMCCI Exchange Commodity, a Scheduled Trading Day on which either (a) the settlement price for any Monthly Contract for such JPMCCI Exchange Commodity is not obtainable or (b) is a Limit Day with respect to such JPMCCI Exchange Commodity.

PS-76


“Relevant Exchange” means, with respect to each Potential JPMCCI Exchange Commodity, the primary futures exchange on which futures contracts related to the physical commodity underlying such Potential JPMCCI Exchange Commodity are traded.

“Force Majeure Event” means any event beyond the control of the Index Calculation Agent, including any act of God, act of governmental authority, act of public enemy, or due to war, the outbreak or escalation of hostilities, fire, flood, civil commotion, insurrection, labor difficulty including, without limitation, any strike, other work stoppage, or slow-down, severe or adverse weather conditions, power failure, communications line or other technological failure.

     Publication of Corrected Index Levels

     In the event that a settlement price used in the calculation of any JPMCCI Constituent Index Level is corrected subsequent to the publication of such JPMCCI Constituent Index Level that employed such corrected settlement price and the correction is published by the Relevant Exchange for a JPMCCI Exchange Commodity included in such JPMCCI Constituent Index before the next following Rebalancing Date, or any other element used in the calculation of any JPMCCI Constituent Index Level is determined by the Index Calculation Agent, in its sole discretion, to have been incorrect prior to the next following Rebalancing Date, then the Index Calculation Agent may, if practicable and if the correction is deemed material by the Index Calculation Agent, in its sole discretion, adjust or correct the relevant JPMCCI Constituent Index Level published on any relevant Scheduled Index Valuation Day and publish such corrected JPMCCI Constituent Index Level as soon as it is reasonably practicable. (Section F.7 and F.8 of the Index Rules)

     Historical Limitations

     There are limitations in the methodology used to calculate historical index levels of the JPMCCI Constituent Indices prior to the launch of JPMCCI. The Index Calculation Agent has exercised its discretion in varying the methodology of calculating such historical Index Levels for various reasons including data availability. For example, for years prior to 2003, the Aggregate Commodity Units were set to those of year 2003 because open interest data were not obtainable from the Futures Industries Association for many commodity contracts prior to 1999, making the first reliable Observation Period from November 1999 to October 2002. (Section L of the Index Rules)

     Data Unavailability with regard to HMCOIP

     In determining levels of JPMCCI prior to its actual launch in November 2007, in any year during which any HMCOIP could not be calculated due to missing MCOIP data, all the HMCOIPs of that year were set to the HMCOIPs of the following year for which complete MCOIP data were available. For example, if reliable open interest data were not available prior to 1997 (inclusive), then all the HMCOIPs for 1998 to 2000, all of which rely on MCOIPs of 1997, would have been set to the HMCOIPs of 2001, assuming that MCOIPs for 1998, 1999 and 2000 were intact. (Section L of the Index Rules)

     The Index Calculation Agent and the Rules

     The methodology employed in determining the composition and calculation of JPMCCI is set out in the calculations and procedures described in the Index Rules. JPMSC currently acts as Index Calculation Agent with respect to JPMCCI but may be replaced by a substitute index calculation agent at some future date (who, in the event of such replacement, shall be regarded for all purposes of JPMCCI as the Index Calculation Agent). For the avoidance of doubt, the substitution of any Index Calculation Agent will not be deemed to terminate JPMCCI or any instrument referencing JPMCCI. (Section A.4 of the Index Rules)

     JPMSL may from time to time revise, amend and/or supplement the Index Rules and in such event will publish the amended JPMCCI rules no later than one calendar month following such revision, amendment or supplement. (Section A.4 of the Index Rules)

PS-77


     The JPMCCI Supervisory Committee

     In order to maintain objectivity in the administration and execution of JPMCCI, JPMSL has, pursuant to the rules described below, formed the “JPMCCI Supervisory Committee.” The Index Calculation Agent will from time to time (and in any event within one month of any change in the composition of its membership) publish the names, titles and company affiliation of the individuals forming the JPMCCI Supervisory Committee. (Section A.3 of the Index Rules)

     The JPMCCI Supervisory Committee will meet annually in November to review and approve the composition of JPMCCI for the following calendar year and any proposed modifications to the methodology of determining the composition and calculation of JPMCCI. (Section A.3 of the Index Rules)

     The JPMCCI Supervisory Committee is composed of at most seven voting members and at least one voting member, at most seven non-voting members and at least one non-voting member, each of whom is appointed by JPMSL. Each voting member serving on the JPMCCI Supervisory Committee shall be independent. For the purposes of determining whether a particular member of the JPMCCI Supervisory Committee is independent, “independent” means that the individual in question is not an employee, director, officer, agent or affiliate of JPMorgan Chase & Co. or any of its affiliates and does not have a personal direct financial interest in JPMCCI or any financial product linked to JPMCCI while serving as a voting member of the JPMCCI Supervisory Committee. All voting members of the JPMCCI Supervisory Committee are sufficiently knowledgeable about commodity futures contracts and the commodities markets in general, as determined by JPMSL in a good faith and commercially reasonable manner. JPMSL may from time to time add or remove voting members of the JPMCCI Supervisory Committee; provided that such addition or removal does not coincide with a meeting of the committee or is a result of a particular vote of a specific committee member.

     Additionally, upon the occurrence of a Disrupted Day, or any other extraordinary or unanticipated market events, the Index Calculation Agent may seek the advice of the JPMCCI Supervisory Committee on the necessary adjustments, methodological amendments or data corrections that may need to be implemented to JPMCCI.

     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, if all of the voting members of the JPMCCI Supervisory Committee have resigned or are unavailable at the time and date of any meeting duly called by the Index Calculation Agent, the non-voting member(s) who are not directly involved in the marketing, sale or hedging of any JPMCCI product may make any and all determinations on behalf of the JPMCCI Supervisory Committee and such decisions will have the same force and effect as decisions made by the voting members of the JPMCCI Supervisory Committee.

     In the event that JPMSL ceases to act as Index Calculation Agent, the composition and role of the JPMCCI Supervisory Committee may be reviewed and amended by JPMSL. (Section A.3 of the Index Rules)

Discontinuation of the JPMCCI; Alteration of Method of Calculation

     If JPMSL discontinues publication of any relevant Basket Index and JPMSL or another entity publishes a successor or substitute index that the calculation agent determines, in its sole discretion, to be comparable to the discontinued Basket Index (such index being referred to herein as a “successor index”), then the closing level of such Basket Index on any relevant Initial Averaging Date, if applicable, Basket Valuation Date or any other relevant date on which the closing level of the Basket Index is to be determined will be determined by reference to the level of such successor index at the close of trading on the relevant exchange for the successor index on such day.

     Upon any selection by the calculation agent of a successor index, the calculation agent will cause written notice thereof to be promptly furnished to the trustee, to us and to the holders of the notes.

PS-78


     If JPMSL discontinues publication of any relevant Basket Index prior to, and such discontinuation is continuing on, an Initial Averaging Date, if applicable, a Basket Valuation Date or any other relevant date on which the closing level of such Basket Index is to be determined and the calculation agent determines, in its sole discretion, that no successor index is available at such time, or the calculation agent has previously selected a successor index and publication of such successor index is discontinued prior to, and such discontinuation is continuing on, such Initial Averaging Date, if applicable, Basket Valuation Date, or such other relevant date, then the calculation agent will determine the closing level of such Basket Index for such date. The closing level of such Basket Index will be computed by the calculation agent in accordance with the formula for and method of calculating such Basket Index or successor index, as applicable, last in effect prior to such discontinuation, using the closing price (or, if trading in the relevant securities has been materially suspended or materially limited, the calculation agent’s good faith estimate of the closing price that would have prevailed but for such suspension or limitation) at the close of the principal trading session on such date of each security most recently composing such Basket Index or successor index, as applicable. Notwithstanding these alternative arrangements, discontinuation of the publication of a relevant Basket Index or successor index, as applicable, may adversely affect the value of the notes.

     If at any time the method of calculating any relevant Basket Index or a successor index, or the level thereof, is changed in a material respect, or if such Basket Index or a successor index is in any other way modified so that such Basket Index or such successor index does not, in the opinion of the calculation agent, fairly represent the level of such Basket Index or successor index had such changes or modifications not been made, then the calculation agent will, at the close of business in New York City on each date on which the closing level of such Basket Index is to be determined, make such calculations and adjustments as, in the good faith judgment of the calculation agent, may be necessary in order to arrive at a level of an index comparable to such Basket Index or such successor index, as the case may be, as if such changes or modifications had not been made, and the calculation agent will calculate the closing level of such Basket Index with reference to such Basket Index or such successor index, as adjusted. Accordingly, if the method of calculating any relevant Basket Index or a successor index is modified so that the level of such Basket Index or such successor index is a fraction of what it would have been if there had been no such modification, then the calculation agent will adjust its calculation of such Basket Index or such successor index in order to arrive at a level of such Basket Index or such successor index as if there had been no such modification.

PS-79


GENERAL TERMS OF NOTES

Calculation Agent and Index Calculation Agent

     Your payment on the notes will effectively be determined by calculations undertaken by two entities, each of which is a subsidiary of ours. J.P. Morgan Securities Inc., or JPMSI, which is referred to in this product supplement as the “calculation agent” will act as the calculation agent for the notes and in this capacity will make all determinations with respect to our payment obligations under the notes. J.P. Morgan Securities Ltd. serves as Index Calculation Agent, and in this capacity will make determinations with respect to the composition and level of JPMCCI. For more information on the Index Calculation Agent see “The JPMorgan Commodity Curve Index — The Index Calculation Agent and the Rules” in this product supplement.

     The calculation agent will determine, among other things, the Starting Basket Level, the Strike Level, if applicable, the Basket Closing Level on each Initial Averaging Date, if applicable, and each Basket Valuation Date, the Ending Basket Level, the Basket Return, whether there has been a market disruption event or a discontinuance of any of the Basket Indices, the amount payable to you in the event of an early acceleration and the payment at maturity, if any, on the notes. In addition, the calculation agent will determine whether there has been a market disruption event or a discontinuation of any Basket Index, whether there has been a material change in the method of calculating the Underlying. All determinations made by the calculation agent will be at the sole discretion of the calculation agent and will, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive for all purposes and binding on you and on us. We may appoint a different calculation agent from time to time after the date of this product supplement without your consent and without notifying you.

     The calculation agent will provide written notice to the trustee at its New York office, on which notice the trustee may conclusively rely, of the amount to be paid at maturity on or prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the business day preceding the maturity date.

     All calculations with respect to the Starting Basket Level, the Ending Basket Level, the Basket Return or any Basket Closing Level will be rounded to the nearest one hundred-thousandth, with five one-millionths rounded upward (e.g., .876545 would be rounded to .87655); all dollar amounts related to determination of the payment per $1,000 principal amount note at maturity, if any, per $1,000 principal amount note will be rounded to the nearest ten-thousandth, with five one hundred-thousandths rounded upward (e.g., .76545 would be rounded up to .7655); and all dollar amounts paid on the aggregate principal amount of notes per holder will be rounded to the nearest cent, with one-half cent rounded upward.

Market Disruption Events

     Certain events may prevent the Index Calculation Agent from calculating the Basket Closing Level on any Initial Averaging Date, if applicable, or Basket Valuation Date. The failure may, in turn, prevent the calculation agent from determining the amount, if any, that we will pay you at maturity. These events may include failure of the Index Calculation Agent to publish the level of any Basket Index, as well as disruptions or suspensions of trading in the markets for derivative products linked to the indices included in the Basket as of such Basket Valuation Date, trading in the markets for commodity futures contracts underlying any Basket Index, or trading in the commodity markets as a whole. In addition, certain events may prevent us or our affiliates from hedging our obligations under the notes including, but not limited to, changes in laws or regulations applicable to the commodity futures contracts underlying the Basket Indices. In the case of such an event we have the right, but not the obligation, to accelerate the payment on the notes as described below under “— Consequences of a Commodity Hedging Disruption Event.” We refer to each of the events described in the following paragraph individually as a “market disruption event.”

PS-80


     With respect to each Basket Index and any relevant successor index, a “market disruption event,” unless otherwise specified in the relevant terms supplement, means:

  • the termination or suspension of, or material limitation or disruption in the trading of any exchange-traded commodity futures contract (including, but not limited to, the occurrence or announcement of a Limit Day with respect to an applicable exchange-traded commodity futures contract) then underlying any Basket Index (or the relevant successor index); or

  • the settlement or quoted price of any exchange-traded commodity futures contract underlying such Basket Index (or the relevant successor index) has increased or decreased by an amount equal to the maximum permitted price change from the previous day’s settlement price; or

  • the failure of the JPMCCI Index Calculation Agent to calculate and publish the U.S. dollar level for such Basket Index (or the relevant successor index); or

  • the settlement price is not published for any individual reference contract underlying such Basket Index (or the relevant successor index); or

  • the failure of the Index Calculation Agent to calculate and publish the value of any Basket Index (or any relevant successor index)

     in each case as determined by the calculation agent in its sole discretion; and

  • a determination by the calculation agent in its sole discretion that the event described above materially interfered with our ability or the ability of any of our affiliates to adjust or unwind all or a material portion of any hedge with respect to the notes.

     A limitation on the hours or number of days of trading will not constitute a market disruption event if the limitation results from an announced change in the regular business hours of the relevant exchange or market.

     In addition, “market disruption event” means, which in each case is also a "commodity hedging disruption event," that:

     (a) due to (i) the adoption of, or any change in, any applicable law, regulation or rule or (ii) the promulgation of, or any change in, the interpretation by any court, tribunal or regulatory authority with competent jurisdiction of any applicable law, rule, regulation or order (including, without limitation, as implemented by the CFTC or any exchange or trading facility), in each case occurring on or after the pricing date, the calculation agent determines in good faith that it is contrary to such law, rule, regulation or order to purchase, sell, enter into, maintain, hold, acquire or dispose of our or our affiliates’ (A) positions or contracts in securities, options, futures, derivatives or foreign exchange or (B) other instruments or arrangements, in each case, in order to hedge individually or in the aggregate on a portfolio basis our obligations under the notes (“hedge positions”), including, without limitation, if such hedge positions are (or, but for the consequent disposal thereof, would otherwise be) in excess of any allowable position limit(s) in relation to any commodity traded on any exchange(s) or other trading facility (it being within the sole and absolute discretion of the calculation agent to determine which of the hedge positions are counted towards such limit); or

     (b) for any reason, we or our affiliates are unable, after using commercially reasonable efforts, to (i) acquire, establish, re-establish, substitute, maintain, unwind or dispose of any transaction(s) or asset(s) the calculation agent deems necessary to hedge the risk of entering into and performing our commodity-related obligations with respect to the notes, or (ii) realize, recover or remit the proceeds of any such transaction(s) or asset(s).

     Please see the risk factor entitled “The commodity futures contracts underlying the Basket Indices are subject to legal and regulatory regimes that may change in ways that could affect our ability to hedge our obligations under the notes, could result in a modification of the Rules and/or could lead to the early acceleration of your notes” on page PS-55 for more information.

PS-81


Consequences of a Commodity Hedging Disruption Event

     If a commodity hedging disruption event occurs, we will have the right, but not the obligation, to accelerate the payment on the notes by providing, or causing the calculation agent to provide, written notice of our election to exercise such right to the trustee at its New York office, on which notice the trustee may conclusively rely, as promptly as possible and in no event later than the business day immediately following the day on which such commodity hedging disruption event occurred. The amount due and payable per $1,000 principal amount note upon such early acceleration will be determined on the date on which we deliver notice of such acceleration by the calculation agent in good faith in a commercially reasonable manner and will be payable on the fifth business day following the day on which the commodity hedging disruption event occurred. We will provide, or will cause the calculation agent to provide, written notice to the trustee at its New York office, on which notice the trustee may conclusively rely, and to DTC of the cash amount due with respect to the notes as promptly as possible and in no event later than two business days prior to the date on which such payment is due. For the avoidance of doubt, the determination set forth above is only applicable to the amount due with respect to acceleration as a result of a commodity hedging disruption event.

Events of Default

     Under the heading “Description of Debt Securities — Events of Default, Waiver, Debt Securities in Foreign Currencies” in the accompanying prospectus is a description of events of default relating to debt securities including the notes.

Payment upon an Event of Default

     Unless otherwise specified in the relevant terms supplement, in case an event of default with respect to the notes shall have occurred and be continuing, the amount declared due and payable per $1,000 principal amount note upon any acceleration of the notes will be determined by the calculation agent and will be an amount in cash equal to the amount payable at maturity per $1,000 principal amount note as described under the caption “Description of Notes — Payment at Maturity,” calculated as if the date of acceleration were the final Basket Valuation Date. If the notes have more than one Basket Valuation Date, then, for each Basket Valuation Date scheduled to occur after the date of acceleration, the trading days immediately preceding the date of acceleration (in such number equal to the number of Basket Valuation Dates in excess of one) will be the corresponding Basket Valuation Dates, unless otherwise specified in the relevant terms supplement. For the avoidance of doubt, the determination set forth above is only applicable to the amount due with respect to acceleration as a result of an event of default.

     If the maturity of the notes is accelerated because of an event of default as described above, we will, or will cause the calculation agent to, provide written notice to the trustee at its New York office, on which notice the trustee may conclusively rely, and to DTC of the cash amount due with respect to the notes as promptly as possible and in no event later than two business days after the date of acceleration.

Modification

     Under the heading “Description of Debt Securities — Modification of the Indenture; Waiver of Compliance” in the accompanying prospectus is a description of when the consent of each affected holder of debt securities is required to modify the indenture.

Defeasance

     The provisions described in the accompanying prospectus under the heading “Description of Debt Securities — Discharge, Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance” are not applicable to the notes, unless otherwise specified in the relevant terms supplement.

PS-82


Listing

     The notes will not be listed on any securities exchange, unless otherwise specified in the relevant terms supplement.

Book-Entry Only Issuance — The Depository Trust Company

     DTC will act as securities depositary for the notes. The notes will be issued only as fully-registered securities registered in the name of Cede & Co. (DTC’s nominee). One or more fully-registered global notes certificates, representing the total aggregate principal amount of the notes, will be issued and will be deposited with DTC. See the descriptions contained in the accompanying prospectus supplement under the headings “Description of Notes — Forms of Notes” and “The Depositary.”

Registrar, Transfer Agent and Paying Agent

     Payment of amounts due at maturity on the notes will be payable and the transfer of the notes will be registrable at the principal corporate trust office of The Bank of New York in The City of New York.

     The Bank of New York or one of its affiliates will act as registrar and transfer agent for the notes. The Bank of New York will also act as paying agent and may designate additional paying agents.

     Registration of transfers of the notes will be effected without charge by or on behalf of The Bank of New York, but upon payment (with the giving of such indemnity as The Bank of New York may require) in respect of any tax or other governmental charges that may be imposed in relation to it.

Governing Law

     The notes will be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

CERTAIN U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES

     The following is a summary of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of the notes. This summary applies to you only if you are an initial holder of the notes purchasing the notes at the issue price for cash and if you will hold them as capital assets within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).

     This summary does not address all aspects of U.S. federal income and estate taxation of the notes that may be relevant to you in light of your particular circumstances, nor does it address all of your tax consequences if you are a holder of notes who is subject to special treatment under the U.S. federal income tax laws, such as:

  • one of certain financial institutions;

  • a tax-exempt entity, including an “individual retirement account” or “Roth IRA” as defined in Code Section 408 or 408A, respectively;

  • a dealer in securities;

  • a “regulated investment company” as defined in Code Section 851;

  • a “real estate investment trust” as defined in Code Section 856;

  • a person holding the notes as part of a hedging transaction, straddle, conversion transaction or integrated transaction, or entering into a “constructive sale” with respect to the notes;

  • a U.S. Holder (as defined below) whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar;

  • a trader in securities who elects to apply a mark-to-market method of tax accounting; or

  • a partnership or other entity classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

     This summary is based on the Code, administrative pronouncements, judicial decisions and final, temporary and proposed Treasury regulations as of the date of this product supplement, changes to any of which, subsequent to the date of this product supplement, may affect the tax consequences described herein. You should consult your tax adviser concerning the application of U.S. federal income and estate tax laws to your particular situation (including the possibility of alternative characterizations of the notes), as well as any tax consequences arising under the laws of any state, local or foreign jurisdictions.

Tax Treatment of the Notes

     The tax consequences of an investment in the notes are unclear. There is no direct legal authority as to the proper U.S. federal income tax characterization of the notes, and we do not intend to request a ruling from the IRS regarding the notes.

     We intend to seek an opinion from Davis Polk & Wardwell, our special tax counsel, which will be based upon the terms of the notes at the time of the relevant offering and certain factual representations to be received from us, regarding the treatment of the notes as “open transactions” for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Whether Davis Polk & Wardwell expresses an opinion regarding the characterization of the notes will be indicated in the relevant terms supplement. In either case, we and you will agree to treat the notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes as “open transactions.” While other characterizations of the notes could be asserted by the IRS, as discussed below, the following discussion assumes that the notes are treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as “open transactions” with respect to the Basket Indices and not as debt instruments, unless otherwise indicated.

PS-84


Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders

     You are a “U.S. Holder” if you are a beneficial owner of notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes that is:

  • a citizen or resident of the United States;

  • a corporation, or other entity taxable as a corporation, created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or any political subdivision thereof; or

  • an estate or trust the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source.

   Tax Treatment of the Notes

     Tax Treatment Prior to Maturity. You should not recognize taxable income or loss over the term of the notes prior to maturity, other than pursuant to a sale, exchange, redemption or “deemed exchange” as described below.

     Sale, Exchange or Redemption of the Notes. Upon a sale or exchange of a note (including redemption of the notes at maturity), you should recognize capital gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized on the sale, exchange or redemption and your tax basis in the note, which should equal the amount you paid to acquire the note. This gain or loss should be long-term capital gain or loss if you have held the note for more than one year at that time. The deductibility of capital losses, however, is subject to limitations.

     The IRS could assert that a “deemed” taxable exchange has occurred on one or more Rebalancing Dates under certain unexpected circumstances. If the IRS were successful in asserting that a taxable exchange has occurred, you could be required to recognize gain (but probably not loss), which would equal the amount by which the fair market value of the note exceeds your tax basis therein. Any deemed exchange gain should be capital gain. You should consult your tax adviser regarding the possible U.S. federal income tax consequences of rebalancings.

   Possible Alternative Tax Treatments of an Investment in the Notes

     Due to the absence of authorities that directly address the proper characterization of the notes and because we are not requesting a ruling from the IRS with respect to the notes, no assurance can be given that the IRS will accept, or that a court will uphold, the characterization and tax treatment of the notes described above. If the IRS were successful in asserting an alternative characterization or treatment of the notes, the timing and character of income on the notes could differ materially and adversely from our description herein. For example, the IRS might treat the notes as debt instruments issued by us, in which event the taxation of the notes would be governed by certain Treasury regulations relating to the taxation of “contingent payment debt instruments” if the term of the notes from issue to maturity (including the last possible date that the notes could be outstanding) is more than one year. In this event, regardless of whether you are an accrual-method or cash-method taxpayer, you would be required to accrue into income original issue discount, or “OID,” on the notes at our “comparable yield” for similar noncontingent debt, determined at the time of the issuance of the notes, in each year that you hold the notes (even though you will not receive any cash with respect to the notes during their term) and any gain recognized upon a sale or exchange of the notes (including redemption of the notes at maturity) would generally be treated as ordinary income. Additionally, if you were to recognize a loss above certain thresholds, you could be required to file a disclosure statement with the IRS.

     Other alternative U.S. federal income tax characterizations of the notes might also require that you treat your receipt of the Additional Amount at maturity or some portion thereof upon any sale or “deemed” disposition as ordinary income (and calculate capital gain or loss accordingly), might require you to include amounts in income during the term of the notes and/or might treat all or a portion of the gain or loss on the sale or settlement of the notes as ordinary income or loss or as short-term capital gain or loss, without regard to how long you held the notes. In addition, on December 7, 2007,

PS-85


Treasury and the IRS released a notice requesting comments on the U.S. federal income tax treatment of “prepaid forward contracts” and similar instruments, which might include 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; 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 that is subject to 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. Accordingly, 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.

Tax Consequences to Non-U.S. Holders

     You are a “Non-U.S. Holder” for purposes of this discussion if you are a beneficial owner of notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes that is:

  • a nonresident alien individual;

  • a foreign corporation; or

  • a foreign estate or trust.

     You are not a Non-U.S. Holder if you are an individual present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of disposition. In this case, you should consult your tax adviser regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the sale, exchange or other disposition of a note (including redemption of the notes at maturity).

     If you are a Non-U.S. Holder of the notes and if the characterization of the notes as open transactions is respected, any payments on the notes should not be subject to U.S. federal income or withholding tax, except that gain from the sale or exchange of a note (including redemption of a note at maturity) will be subject to U.S. federal income tax if this gain is effectively connected with your conduct of a U.S. trade or business. However, among the issues addressed in the notice described above in “Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences — Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders — Possible Alternative Tax Treatments of an Investment in the Notes” is the degree, if any, to which income with respect to instruments such as the notes should be subject to U.S. withholding tax. It is possible that any Treasury regulations or other guidance promulgated after consideration of these issues could materially and adversely affect the withholding tax consequences of an investment in the notes, possibly with retroactive effect.

     If the notes were recharacterized as indebtedness, any payments or accruals on the notes nonetheless would not be subject to U.S. withholding tax, provided generally that the certification requirement described below has been fulfilled and none of the payments on the notes and any gain realized on a sale, exchange or other disposition of notes (including redemption of the notes at maturity) is effectively connected with your conduct of a U.S. trade or business. Because the characterization of the notes is unclear, payments made to you with respect to the notes may be withheld upon at a rate of 30% unless you certify on IRS Form W-8BEN, under penalties of perjury, that you are not a United States person and provide your name and address or otherwise satisfy applicable documentation requirements.

     If you are engaged in a U.S. trade or business, and if payments on the notes are effectively connected with your conduct of that trade or business, although exempt from the withholding tax discussed above, you will generally be taxed in the same manner as a U.S. Holder, except that you will be required to provide a properly executed IRS Form W-8ECI in order to claim an exemption from withholding. If this paragraph applies to you, you should consult your tax adviser with respect to other U.S. tax consequences of the ownership and disposition of the notes, including the possible imposition of a 30% branch profits tax if you are a corporation.

PS-86


   Federal Estate Tax

     Individual Non-U.S. Holders, and entities the property of which is potentially includible in those individuals’ gross estates for U.S. federal estate tax purposes (for example, a trust funded by such an individual and with respect to which the individual has retained certain interests or powers), should note that, absent an applicable treaty benefit, a note is likely to be treated as U.S. situs property, subject to U.S. federal estate tax. These individuals and entities should consult their tax advisers regarding the U.S. federal estate tax consequences of investing in a note.

Backup Withholding and Information Reporting

     You may be subject to information reporting, and may also be subject to backup withholding at the rates specified in the Code on the amounts paid to you, unless you provide proof of an applicable exemption or a correct taxpayer identification number and otherwise comply with applicable requirements of the backup withholding rules. If you are a Non-U.S. Holder, you will not be subject to backup withholding if you comply with the certification procedures described in the preceding section. Amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules are not additional taxes and may be refunded or credited against your U.S. federal income tax liability, provided the required information is furnished to the IRS.

     THE TAX CONSEQUENCES TO YOU OF PURCHASING, OWNING AND DISPOSING OF THE NOTES ARE UNCLEAR. YOU SHOULD CONSULT YOUR TAX ADVISER REGARDING THE TAX CONSEQUENCES OF PURCHASING, OWNING AND DISPOSING OF THE NOTES, INCLUDING THE TAX CONSEQUENCES UNDER STATE, LOCAL, FOREIGN AND OTHER TAX LAWS AND THE POSSIBLE EFFECTS OF CHANGES IN U.S. FEDERAL OR OTHER TAX LAWS.

UNDERWRITING

     Under the terms and subject to the conditions contained in the Master Agency Agreement entered into between JPMorgan Chase & Co. and J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. as agent (an “Agent” or “JPMSI”), and certain other agents that may be party to the Master Agency Agreement, as amended or supplemented, from time to time (each an “Agent” and collectively with JPMSI, the “Agents”), each Agent participating in an offering of notes, acting as principal for its own account, has agreed to purchase, and we have agreed to sell, the principal amount of notes set forth on the cover page of the relevant terms supplement. Each such Agent proposes initially to offer the notes directly to the public at the public offering price set forth on the cover page of the relevant terms supplement. JPMSI will allow a concession to other dealers, or we may pay other fees, in the amount set forth on the cover page of the relevant terms supplement. After the initial offering of the notes, the Agents may vary the offering price and other selling terms from time to time.

     We own, directly or indirectly, all of the outstanding equity securities of JPMSI. The underwriting arrangements for this offering comply with the requirements of NASD Rule 2720 regarding a FINRA member firm’s underwriting of securities of an affiliate. In accordance with NASD Rule 2720, no underwriter may make sales in this offering to any discretionary account without the prior written approval of the customer.

     JPMSI or another Agent may act as principal or agent in connection with offers and sales of the notes in the secondary market. Secondary market offers and sales will be made at prices related to market prices at the time of such offer or sale; accordingly, the Agents or a dealer may change the public offering price, concession and discount after the offering has been completed.

     In order to facilitate the offering of the notes, JPMSI may engage in transactions that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of the notes. Specifically, JPMSI may sell more notes than it is obligated to purchase in connection with the offering, creating a naked short position in the notes for its own account. JPMSI must close out any naked short position by purchasing the notes in the open market. A naked short position is more likely to be created if JPMSI is concerned that there may be downward pressure on the price of the notes in the open market after pricing that could adversely affect investors who purchase in the offering. As an additional means of facilitating the offering, JPMSI may bid for, and purchase, notes in the open market to stabilize the price of the notes. Any of these activities may raise or maintain the market price of the notes above independent market levels or prevent or retard a decline in the market price of the notes. JPMSI is not required to engage in these activities, and may end any of these activities at any time.

     No action has been or will be taken by us, JPMSI or any dealer that would permit a public offering of the notes or possession or distribution of this product supplement no. 154-I or the accompanying prospectus supplement, prospectus or terms supplement, other than in the United States, where action for that purpose is required. No offers, sales or deliveries of the notes, or distribution of this product supplement no. 154-I or the accompanying prospectus supplement, prospectus or terms supplement or any other offering material relating to the notes, may be made in or from any jurisdiction except in circumstances which will result in compliance with any applicable laws and regulations and will not impose any obligations on us, the Agents or any dealer.

     Each Agent has represented and agreed, and each dealer through which we may offer the notes has represented and agreed, that it (i) will comply with all applicable laws and regulations in force in each non-U.S. jurisdiction in which it purchases, offers, sells or delivers the notes or possesses or distributes this product supplement no. 154-I and the accompanying prospectus supplement, prospectus and terms supplement and (ii) will obtain any consent, approval or permission required by it for the purchase, offer or sale by it of the notes under the laws and regulations in force in each non-U.S. jurisdiction to which it is subject or in which it makes purchases, offers or sales of the notes. We shall not have responsibility for any Agent’s or any dealer’s compliance with the applicable laws and regulations or obtaining any required consent, approval or permission. For additional information regarding selling restrictions, please see “Notice to Investors” in this product supplement.

     Unless otherwise specified in the relevant terms supplement, the settlement date for the notes will be the third business day following the pricing date (which is referred to as a “T+3” settlement cycle).

     None of the Agents, we or the notes have been registered with the Superintendencia de Valores y Seguros de Chile (Chilean Securities and Insurance Commission) pursuant to Ley No. 18,045 de Mercado de Valores (the “Chilean Securities Act”), as amended, of the Republic of Chile and, accordingly, the notes have not been and will not be offered or sold within Chile or to, or for the account of benefit of persons in Chile except in circumstances which have not resulted and will not result in a public offering and/or securities intermediation in Chile within the meaning of the Chilean Securities Act.

     None of the Agents is a bank or a licensed broker in Chile, and therefore each Agent has not and will not conduct transactions or any business operations in any of such qualities, including the marketing, offer and sale of the notes, except in circumstances which have not resulted and will not result in a “public offering” as such term is defined in Article 4 of the Chilean Securities Act, and/or have not resulted and will not result in the intermediation of securities in Chile within the meaning of Article 24 of the Chilean Securities Act and/or the breach of the brokerage restrictions set forth in Article 39 of Decree with Force of Law No. 3 of 1997.

PS-96


BENEFIT PLAN INVESTOR CONSIDERATIONS

     A fiduciary of a pension, profit-sharing or other employee benefit plan subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), including entities such as collective investment funds, partnerships and separate accounts whose underlying assets include the assets of such plans (collectively, “ERISA Plans”) should consider the fiduciary standards of ERISA in the context of the ERISA Plan’s particular circumstances before authorizing an investment in the notes. Among other factors, the fiduciary should consider whether the investment would satisfy the prudence and diversification requirements of ERISA and would be consistent with the documents and instruments governing the ERISA Plan.

     Section 406 of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, (the “Code”) prohibit ERISA Plans, as well as plans (including individual retirement accounts and Keogh plans) subject to Section 4975 of the Code (together with ERISA Plans, “Plans”), from engaging in certain transactions involving the “plan assets” with persons who are “parties in interest” under ERISA or “disqualified persons” under the Code (in either case, “Parties in Interest”) with respect to such Plans. As a result of our business, we may be a Party in Interest with respect to many Plans. Where we are a Party in Interest with respect to a Plan (either directly or by reason of our ownership interests in our directly or indirectly owned subsidiaries), the purchase and holding of the notes by or on behalf of the Plan could be a prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA and/or Section 4975 of the Code, unless exemptive relief were available under an applicable exemption (as described below).

     Certain prohibited transaction class exemptions (“PTCEs”) issued by the U.S. Department of Labor may provide exemptive relief for direct or indirect prohibited transactions resulting from the purchase or holding of the notes. Those class exemptions are PTCE 96-23 (for certain transactions determined by in-house asset managers), PTCE 95-60 (for certain transactions involving insurance company general accounts), PTCE 91-38 (for certain transactions involving bank collective investment funds), PTCE 90-1 (for certain transactions involving insurance company separate accounts), and PTCE 84-14 (for certain transactions determined by independent qualified asset managers). In addition, ERISA Section 408(b)(17) and Section 4975(d)(20) of the Code provide a limited exemption for the purchase and sale of the notes and related lending transactions, provided that neither the issuer of the notes nor any of its affiliates have or exercise any discretionary authority or control or render any investment advice with respect to the assets of any Plan involved in the transaction and provided further that the Plan pays no more than adequate consideration in connection with the transaction (the so-called “service provider exemption”).

     Accordingly, the notes may not be purchased or held by any Plan, any entity whose underlying assets include “plan assets” by reason of any Plan’s investment in the entity (a “Plan Asset Entity”) or any person investing “plan assets” of any Plan, unless such purchaser or holder is eligible for the exemptive relief available under PTCE 96-23, 95-60, 91-38, 90-1 or 84-14 or the service-provider exemption or there is some other basis on which the purchase and holding of the notes will not constitute a non-exempt prohibited transaction under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code. Each purchaser or holder of the notes or any interest therein will be deemed to have represented by its purchase or holding of the notes that (a) its purchase and holding of the notes is not made on behalf of or with “plan assets” of any Plan or (b) its purchase and holding of the notes will not result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code.

     Employee benefit plans that are governmental plans (as defined in Section 3(32) of ERISA), certain church plans (as defined in Section 3(33) of ERISA) and non-U.S. plans (as described in Section 4(b)(4) of ERISA) are not subject to these “prohibited transaction” rules of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, but may be subject to similar rules under other applicable laws or regulations (“Similar Laws”). Accordingly, each such purchaser or holder of the notes shall be required to represent (and deemed to have represented by its purchase of the notes) that such purchase and holding is not prohibited under applicable Similar Laws.

PS-97


     Due to the complexity of these rules, it is particularly important that fiduciaries or other persons considering purchasing the notes on behalf of or with “plan assets” of any Plan consult with their counsel regarding the relevant provisions of ERISA, the Code or any Similar Laws and the availability of exemptive relief under PTCE 96-23, 95-60, 91-38, 90-1, 84-14 or some other basis on which the acquisition and holding will not constitute a non-exempt prohibited transaction under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or a violation of any applicable Similar Laws.

     Each purchaser and holder of the notes has exclusive responsibility for ensuring that its purchase and holding of the notes does not violate the fiduciary or prohibited transaction rules of ERISA, the Code or any applicable Similar Laws. The sale of any notes to any Plan is in no respect a representation by us or any of our affiliates or representatives that such an investment meets all relevant legal requirements with respect to investments by Plans generally or any particular Plan, or that such an investment is appropriate for Plans generally or any particular Plan.

JPMorgan Commodity Curve Index: Reference Document

A. Introduction

A.1 About the JPMCCI

The JPMorgan Commodity Curve Index (“JPMCCI”) is a family of indices which aim to provide a systematic and neutral way to gain diversified exposure to commodity futures. JPMCCI is structured as a representative family of indices, reflecting the available market opportunities throughout each commodity futures curve as well as across the commodities asset class.

Used generically the “JPMCCI Index” refers to any or all of the “JPMCCI Indices” (as the context requires). “JPMCCI” used generically refers to characteristics of any and all the family of JPMCCI Indices.

JPMCCI consists of an open interest weighted basket of futures contracts across each futures curve to capture the available investment opportunities in the respective commodity futures markets. Monthly Contract compositions for each commodity are guided by the historical distribution of open interest of contracts across the futures curve in the same calendar month of the preceding three calendar years. You should note, however, that Section L below describes certain historical limitations on the gathering of data, which are necessarily reflected in the 2008 version of JPMCCI.

JPMCCI seeks to mitigate the front-end bias associated with commodity indices and attempts to offer substantial diversification benefits. Investing in multiple contracts per commodity should generally reduce return volatility and increase risk-adjusted returns. Moreover, the stable inter-month composition will limit the impact of monthly synthetic roll on the excess return.

It should be noted that JPMCCI is a “notional” basket of commodity futures contracts because there is no actual portfolio of assets to which any person is entitled or in which any person has any ownership interest. JPMCCI merely identifies certain assets in the market, the performance of which will be used as a reference point for the purposes of calculating the value of JPMCCI.

 

A.2 JPMCCI Index Types

1. The Index Calculation Agent will calculate and publish three types of aggregate JPMCCI Indices that include each of the JPMCCI Eligible Commodities (such indices, the “JPMCCI Aggregate Indices”). The JPMCCI Price Index measures the aggregate price levels of futures contracts included in the aggregate JPMCCI Index. The JPMCCI Excess Return Index captures the return from investing in commodity futures in the JPMCCI, taking into account the effect of monthly composition changes during the roll periods. Finally, the JPMCCI Total Return Index measures a fully collateralized investment in JPMCCI commodity futures, taking into account the monthly rolling of contracts. In addition to the JPMCCI Aggregate Indices, the Index Calculation Agent will calculate and publish three versions of JPMCCI Energy Light Indices (i.e., a price, excess and total return version). The JPMCCI Energy Light Indices are variations on the JPMCCI Aggregate Indices, where the target dollar market weight of the JPMCCI Energy Sector Index is set to a maximum weight of 33% of such JPMCCI Energy Light Index after each Rebalancing Period. For more information on the calculation of the JPMCCI Energy Light Indices, see Section F.7.

 


A-4

JPMorgan Commodity Curve Index: Reference Document

2. The Index Calculation Agent will also calculate and publish several types of JPMCCI Sector Indices. As of the date set forth above, the JPMCCI Sector Indices are Energy, Non-Energy, Precious Metals, Industrial Metals, All Metals, Livestock and Agriculture; however, the Index Calculation Agent may introduce additional JPMCCI Sector Indices on an interim basis, and such new JPMCCI Sector Index will be reviewed by the JPMCCI Supervisory Committee on or before the following Exchange Commodity Publication Date. As with the JPMCCI Aggregate Indices, Price Return, Excess Return and Total Return Indices are calculated in respect of each JPMCCI Sector Index. On each Exchange Commodity Publication Date, the Index Calculation Agent, subject to the review of the JPMCCI Supervisory Committee, will determine the JPMCCI Exchange Commodities to be included in each JPMCCI Sector Index for the following calendar year.

3. The Index Calculation Agent will also calculate and publish JPMCCI Single Commodity Indices, in relation to each JPMCCI Exchange Commodity. As described herein, Price Return, Excess Return and Total Return Indices are calculated in respect of each JPMCCI Single Commodity Index.

The JPMCCI Indices and their respective Bloomberg Pages are set forth in Section K herein. The Index Levels for each of the JPMCCI Indices are published on their applicable Bloomberg Pages on each Scheduled Index Valuation Day; provided, however that the Index Calculation Agent will not be obliged to publish any Index Levels upon the occurrence or continuation of a Force Majeure Event.

A.3 JPMCCI Supervisory Committee

In order to maintain objectivity in the administration and execution of the JPMCCI and pursuant to the Index Rules set forth below, JPMSL has formed the “JPMCCI Supervisory Committee (whose composition will be published from time to time). The JPMCCI Supervisory Committee shall meet annually in November to review and approve the composition of the JPMCCI for the following calendar year and any proposed modifications to the Index Rules.

The JPMCCI Supervisory Committee shall be composed of at most seven (7) voting members and at least one (1) voting member and at most seven (7) non-voting members and at least one (1) non-voting member, each of whom will be appointed by JPMSL. Each voting member serving on the JPMCCI Supervisory Committee shall be independent. For the purposes of determining whether a particular member of the JPMCCI Supervisory Committee is independent, “independent” means that the individual in question is not an employee, director, officer, agent or affiliate of JPMorgan Chase & Co. or any of its affiliates and does not have a personal direct financial interest in JPMCCI or any financial product linked to JPMCCI while serving as a voting member of the JPMCCI Supervisory Committee. All voting members of the JPMCCI Supervisory Committee shall be sufficiently knowledgeable about commodity futures contracts and the commodities markets in general, as determined by JPMSL in a good faith and commercially reasonable manner. JPMSL may from time to time add or remove voting members of the JPMCCI Supervisory Committee; provided that such addition or removal does not coincide with a meeting of the committee or is a result of a particular vote of a specific committee member.

Additionally, upon the occurrence of a Disrupted Day, or any other extraordinary or unanticipated market events, JPMorgan may seek the advice of the JPMCCI Supervisory Committee on the necessary adjustments, methodological amendments or data corrections that may need to be implemented to the JPMCCI.

 


A-5

JPMorgan Commodity Curve Index: Reference Document

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, if all of the voting members of the Supervisory Committee have resigned or are otherwise unavailable at the time and date of any meeting duly called by the Index Calculation Agent, the non-voting members, who are not directly involved in the marketing, sale or hedging of any JPMCCI product, may make any and all determinations on behalf of the Supervisory Committee and such decisions shall have the same force and effect as decisions made by the voting members of the committee.

The Index Calculation Agent will from time to time (and in any event within one month of any change in the membership of the JPMCCI Supervisory Committee) publish the names, titles and company affiliation of the individuals forming the JPMCCI Supervisory Committee.

In the event that JPMSL ceases to act as Index Calculation Agent, the composition and role of the JPMCCI Supervisory Committee may be reviewed and amended by JPMSL.

A.4 The Index Calculation Agent and the Index Rules

The methodology employed in determining the composition and calculation of JPMCCI is set out in the calculations and procedures described in these Index Rules. JPMSL acts as “Index Calculation Agent” in respect of the JPMCCI as of the date of these Index Rules but may be replaced by a substitute index calculation agent at some future date (who shall be regarded for all purposes as the Index Calculation Agent). For the avoidance of doubt, the substitution of any Index Calculation Agent shall not be deemed to terminate the JPMCCI or any instruments referencing the JPMCCI. Additionally, as referred to in Section A3 above, in the event that JPMSL ceases to act as Index Calculation Agent, the composition and role of the JPMCCI Supervisory Committee may be reviewed, amended or supplemented. JPMSL may from time to time revise, amend and/or supplement these Index Rules, and if such rules are amended or supplemented, JPMSL shall publish such Index Rules no later than one calendar month following such amendment or supplement.

B. Exchange Commodity Inclusion
   
B.1 Overview and Operation of Exchange Commodity Inclusion Process

JPMCCI is intended to serve as a benchmark to measure the performance of the broader futures market, as well as a practical investment vehicle through which market participants can take a view on the commodities market. As such, a balance is struck between the need to reflect the general price movements of commodity futures broadly in the various energy, metal, agriculture and livestock markets on the one hand, and on the other to ensure that the JPMCCI includes only a practical number and types of futures contracts that are accessible to the investor community.

A two-stage process is followed by the Index Calculation Agent under the supervision of the JPMCCI Supervisory Committee to select futures contracts to be included in the JPMCCI in any given year. First, the Index Calculation Agent identifies “Potential JPMCCI Exchange Commodities” and, second, the Index Calculation Agent selects “JPMCCI Exchange Commodities” for inclusion in JPMCCI. “Potential JPMCCI Exchange Commodity means each physical commodity futures contract (but in respect of which physical delivery is not a requirement for inclusion in this definition) which:

(a)      (i) is traded on a Permitted Exchange (ii) is denominated in U.S. Dollars, (iii) is of Sufficient Estimated Market Size (iv) is of Adequate Liquidity; and
   
(b)      is not a commodity futures contract which (i) is an Ineligible Commodity or (ii) lacks Sufficient Trading History (unless the Index Calculation Agent determines that a Sufficient Trading History Waiver is appropriate) or (c) lacks Sufficient Data.

as determined by the Index Calculation Agent, in a good faith and commercially reasonable manner, and subject to the review of the JPMCCI Supervisory Committee.

Permitted Exchange means, with respect of a Potential JPMCCI Exchange Commodity, the Relevant Exchange which meets the geographical or other criteria published by the Index Calculation Agent from time to time;

Sufficient Estimated Market Size means, with respect to a Potential JPMCCI Exchange Commodity, its Estimated Market Size is no less than USD 250,000,000 (“Threshold Test”); provided, however that if a Potential JPMCCI Exchange Commodity has met the Threshold Test, in the event of a decline in its Estimated Market Size it shall not cease to be a Potential JPMCCI Exchange Commodity or a JPMCCI Exchange Commodity, if applicable, until the first Exchange Commodity Publication Date on which its Estimated Market Size shall be less than USD 150,000,000;

Adequate Liquidity” means, with respect to a Potential JPMCCI Exchange Commodity, that such commodities futures contract is sufficiently liquid for general trading, as determined by the Index Calculation Agent, in a good faith and commercially reasonable manner, and subject to the review of the JPMCCI Supervisory Committee.

Ineligible Commodity means a commodity futures contract which, in the determination of the Index Calculation Agent is a “mini contract” (as defined by the Relevant Exchange), a swap contract, a basis contract, a spread contract or a weather contract.

 


A-13

JPMorgan Commodity Curve Index: Reference Document

Sufficient Trading History” means, with respect to a Potential JPMCCI Exchange Commodity, a futures contract which has traded on the Relevant Exchange for no less than one year from the year of its inclusion; provided, however that the Index Calculation Agent may determine in its sole discretion that a “Sufficient Trading History Waiver” shall be applicable in respect of a commodity futures contact which has not so traded but is determined by the Index Calculation Agent to be a suitable futures contracts for inclusion in the relevant JPMCCI Index by reason that its significance in terms of investor interest is so great that omission would in the good faith and commercially reasonable determination of the Index Calculation Agent significantly undermine the representativeness of the JPMCCI; provided, further that such waiver would be subject to the review of the JPMCCI Supervisory Committee.

Sufficient Data” means in respect of a futures contract, the existence, in the determination of the Index Calculation Agent of a sufficient body of data to enable the Index Calculation Agent to determine appropriately its historical performance and analyze performance; the determination of sufficient historical data will be determined on the basis of the existence of independent historical data available to the Index Calculation Agent, but the Index Calculation Agent may determine that historical performance in respect of a futures contract may be reasonably calculated by the Index Calculation Agent in the absence of such available data (i.e., see Section L herein).

JPMCCI Exchange Commodity” means, with respect to the version of JPMCCI established in a particular calendar year (e.g., the 2008 version of JPMCCI established in November 2007), each Potential JPMCCI Exchange Commodity chosen for inclusion in JPMCCI in that calendar year. The Index Calculation Agent shall select for inclusion in JPMCCI, subject to the review of the JPMCCI Supervisory Committee, each Potential JPMCCI Exchange Commodity which (a) is not related to Milk, Electricity or Coal, (b) is not Sugar #14 (traded on the NYBOT) and (b) with respect to Aluminum (e.g., High Grade Primary Aluminum, Aluminum Alloy and North American Special Aluminum Alloy), the Aluminum futures contract with the highest open interest.

On each Exchange Commodity Publication Date, the Index Calculation Agent shall publish the JPMCCI Exchange Commodities for inclusion in the JPMCCI. for the following calendar year. Additionally, the JPMCCI Sector Indices will consist initially of seven commodity sectors: Energy, Non-Energy, Precious Metals, Industrial Metals, All Metals, Livestock and Agriculture. The constituents of the JPMCCI Sector Indices are determined by the Index Calculation Agent on each Exchange Commodity Publication Date, subject to the review and approval of the JPMCCI Supervisory Committee. The Index Calculation Agent may introduce additional JPMCCI Sector Indices on any future date.

B.2 Rules for Substitution of Exchange Commodity

In certain exceptional cases, the Index Calculation Agent may substitute a JPMCCI Exchange Commodity with a physical commodity futures contract not then selected as a JPMCCI Exchange Commodity, such as when a JPMCCI Exchange Commodity is known to cease trading in the future and a new physical commodity futures contract has emerged as a natural substitute, as determined by the Index Calculation Agent in a good faith and commercially reasonable manner, subject to the review of the JPMCCI Supervisory Committee. For example, the replacement contract proposed by the Relevant Exchange for a discontinued JPMCCI Exchange Commodity shall generally constitute a “natural substitute.” In making the calculation of Aggregate Commodity Units and Monthly Contract Weights upon such substitution, the Index Calculation shall rely on a combination of data based on the affected JPMCCI Exchange Commodity being removed and the Potential JPMCCI Exchange Commodity that will be introduced as a result of the Index Calculation Agent’s determination. The methodology by which this substitution will be effected shall be announced by the Index Calculation Agent as soon as reasonably practicable in the circumstances then prevailing. The Index Calculation Agent shall obtain the approval of the JPMCCI Supervisory Committee prior to making any substitutions or other changes pursuant to this Rule.

 


A-14

JPMorgan Commodity Curve Index: Reference Document


B.3 Representation of Exchange Commodities and Monthly Contract Open Interest

When there is more than one Potential JPMCCI Exchange Commodity relating to a particular underlying physical commodity, the Index Calculation Agent may, where deemed appropriate and subject to the approval of the JPMCCI Supervisory Committee, aggregate the Monthly Contract Open Interest of similar non-selected Potential JPMCCI Exchange Commodities with those of the relevant JPMCCI Exchange Commodity. This combination will effectively increase the number of Aggregate Commodity Units for the relevant JPMCCI Exchange Commodity, thereby more accurately reflecting the significance of the relevant JPMCCI Exchange Commodity. As at the date of these Index Rules, the Monthly Contracts affected by such combinations are set out in Table 2 in Section G. The Index Calculation Agent shall publish any changes to or additions to the combinations set forth in Table 2 in Section G on or before the effective date of any changes and/or additions.

B.4 Final Inclusion Determination and Rebalancing Announcement

The Index Calculation Agent will present to the JPMCCI Supervisory Committee for review the JPMCCI Exchange Commodities for any given year after the completion of the procedures set forth above.

The Index Calculation Agent shall publish the determination of the JPMCCI Exchange Commodities for a given year no later than the relevant Exchange Commodity Publication Date.

JPMorgan Commodity Curve Index: Reference Document


C. Aggregate Commodity Units
   
C.1 Open Interest Commodity Weighting Scheme

JPMCCI is designed to be a representative index synthetically reflecting the available market opportunities in a given commodities asset class. The amount of investment opportunity available in each JPMCCI Exchange Commodity can be estimated from historical open interest, which is analogous to face amount outstanding in bond markets or shares outstanding in equity markets. Therefore JPMCCI uses historical open interest as the basis for determining the nominal weights for JPMCCI Exchange Commodities in the JPMCCI Aggregate Index and JPMCCI Sector Index.

C.2 Annual Calculation of Aggregate Commodity Units: JPMCCI Aggregate and JPMCCI Sector Indices only

The number of Aggregate Commodity Units for JPMCCI Exchange Commodity c for year y, denominated in physical units, is:


where:

           is the Monthly Contract Open Interest reported by the Futures Industry Association for JPMCCI Exchange Commodity c in month m.
     
 

is number of physical units underlying JPMCCI Exchange Commodity c represented by one contract, given the contract specification (e.g. number of barrels represented by one crude oil contract)

     
  is the set of all months in the Observation Period
     
 

is the number of months in the Observation Period


C.3 Annual Calculation of Aggregate Commodity Units: JPMCCI Energy Light Indices

The JPMCCI Energy Light Indices are variations on the JPMCCI Aggregate Indices where the target dollar market weight of the JPMCCI Energy Sector Index is set to a maximum weight of 33% on the last Rebalancing Day.

 


A-16

JPMorgan Commodity Curve Index: Reference Document


First, the Index Calculation Agent will calculate the Estimated Post-Rebalance Market Capitalization for each of the JPMCCI Exchange Commodities in the JPMCCI Energy Sector Index , denominated in USD, calculated on the first Rebalancing Day:


where

             is the ACU of JPMCCI Exchange Commodity c in JPMCCI Energy Sector Index e

 

Second, the Index Calculation Agent will determine if the adjustment is necessary and is calculated as follows:

- If   , then the     
will remain unchanged;
- If , then the will be adjusted to a new , such that
  , while maintaining their original      proportion.

Once are calculated, they will be set for the remainder of the year, consistent with the methodology of the JPMCCI Aggregate Index. The levels of the JPMCCI Energy Light Index will float according to the market price of the underlying monthly contracts, with the possibility that the market weight of the JPMCCI Energy Sector Index may exceed 33%.

Appendix G, Table 4 and Appendix I.3 outlines the target market weights, as well as the ACUs and PCFs, of the JPMCCI Energy Light Index.

 


A-17

JPMorgan Commodity Curve Index: Reference Document


D. Monthly calculation of Monthly Contract Weights
   
D.1 Open Interest Monthly Contract Weighting: calculated in respect of each JPMCCI Exchange Commodity and each JPMCCI Single Commodity Index

Just as historical open interest guides the allocation of weights among different JPMCCI Exchange Commodities through the Aggregate Commodity Units, the Composition and Monthly Contract Weights each month for each JPMCCI Exchange Commodity are guided by the historical distribution of open interest across the commodity’s futures curve.

Each JPMCCI Single Commodity Index and each JPMCCI Exchange Commodity in relation to a JPMCCI Sector Index or JPMCCI Aggregate Index (as the case may be) includes one or more Monthly Contracts of the same JPMCCI Exchange Commodity (except in circumstances of substitution of contracts, where the Monthly Contracts may be of different Exchange Commodities).

The Composition for a particular month is derived by averaging the distribution of Monthly Contract Open Interest in the same calendar month of the previous three years, in order to capture shifts of open interest along the curve as set out in greater detail and mathematically in Section D2-D5 below. (As an example only, the composition for the month of January 2007 is based on the average of the distribution of open interest of contracts along the curve in January 2006, January 2005 and January 2004).

D.2 Calculation of the Monthly Contract Open Interest

Monthly Contract Open Interest Percentage in month m, denominated in physical units, for the JPMCCI Exchange Commodity c Monthly Contract expiring n months after month m, is:

where:

           is the Daily Contract Open Interest on day d on month m, denominated in number of contracts, for JPMCCI Exchange Commodity c Monthly Contract expiring n months after the month m
         
  is the set of all days in month m for which open interest data for one or more Monthly Contracts of JPMCCI Exchange Commodity c is obtainable by the Index Calculation Agent from the relevant information source (as set out in Table X of Appendix Y)

(As an example only, if m corresponds to March 2000 and n =14, the Monthly Contract being referred to is the May 2001 contract.)

 


A-18

JPMorgan Commodity Curve Index: Reference Document


D.3 Calculation of the Monthly Contract Open Interest Percentage

Monthly Contract Open Interest Percentage in month m, for JPMCCI Exchange Commodity c Monthly Contract expiring n months after month m, is:

D.4 Monthly Calculation of the Historical Monthly Contract Open Interest Percentage

The Historical Monthly Contract Open Interest Percentage in month m, for the JPMCCI Exchange Commodity c Monthly Contract expiring n months after month m, is:

(As an example, the HMCOIP for the NYMEX Crude Oil May-2000 contract in January 2000 is the arithmetic average of:

   (a) the MCOIP for the NYMEX Crude Oil May-1997 contract in January 1997;
 
  (b) the MCOIP for the NYMEX Crude Oil May-1998 contract in January 1998;
 
  (c) the MCOIP for the NYMEX Crude Oil May-1999 contract in January 1999.)

D.5 Monthly Contract Weight

In the determination of the Monthly Contract Weights and Composition for each JPMCCI Exchange Commodity and each JPMCCI Single Commodity Index of any commodity and any month in which Composition is reviewed, the following Monthly Contracts are excluded:

     (a) Monthly Contracts with a Historical Monthly Contract Open Interest Percentage of less than 3%;
 
(b) Monthly Contracts due to expire, in respect of which there will be a Last Trading Day or First Notice Day prior to the last anticipated Roll Date or, in the case of Monthly Contracts whose Relevant Exchange is the London Metals Exchange, Monthly Contracts in respect of which there will be a Last Trading Day in the month in which the last anticipated Roll Date falls;

(As an example, for the January 2007 composition of NYMEX Brent Crude, only the Apr-2007 and longer dated Monthly Contracts are eligible for inclusion. The Mar-2007 contract has a last trade date of February 13, 2007; the contract ceases to trade before it can be completely phased out during the February roll, and therefore cannot be included in the January 2007 composition.)

The “Monthly Contract Weight in month m for JPMCCI Exchange Commodity c Monthly Contract expiring n months after month m is:

where:

           is the set of all Monthly Contracts for JPMCCI Exchange Commodity c in month m

For Monthly Contracts which are excluded by the exclusion rules above, .

D.6 Disruptions

A “Disrupted Day means in respect of a JPMCCI Exchange Commodity a Scheduled Trading Day on which:

      (a)      the Settlement Price for any Monthly Contract in respect of the relevant JPMCCI Exchange Commodity is not obtainable;
     
  (b)     

the Settlement Price for any Monthly Contract in respect of the relevant JPMCCI Exchange Commodity is a Limit Price (a Limit Day);

(thus, for the avoidance of doubt, in respect of a JPMCCI Single Commodity Index, only disruption as set out in (a) and (b) in respect of the JPMCCI Exchange Commodity, constituting such JPMCCI Single Commodity Index shall be relevant in the determination of a Disrupted Day)

Disruption and Calculation and Publication of Indices

Index Levels will be published on each Scheduled Index Valuation Day even if such day is a Limit Day for a given JPMCCI Exchange Commodity; provided, however that the Index Calculation Agent will not be obliged to publish any Index Level upon the occurrence or continuation of a Force Majeure Event. If for any reason a Settlement Price is not obtainable in respect of a given JPMCCI Exchange Commodity and Monthly Contract, then the Settlement Price last previously obtainable (which shall usually be the Settlement Price in respect of the previous Scheduled Index Valuation Day) will be used for calculation of the relevant Index Level. If the Settlement Price is a Limit Price, the Limit Price will be used in the calculation of the relevant Index Level.

Disruption and Roll Days

If any Roll Day is a Disrupted Day, then the roll for the affected Exchange Commodity is postponed as set out below.

 


A-20

JPMorgan Commodity Curve Index: Reference Document


D.7 Roll Weights

In respect of each JPMCCI Exchange Commodity, on each Roll Day of the relevant month, the Composition will be amended by the phased removal from the Composition of one tenth of the Composition of the previous month and the replacement of it by one tenth of the current month; provided that if in respect of the relevant JPMCCI Exchange Commodity that scheduled Roll Day is a Disrupted Day, then (i) the Composition shall not be amended on that day and (ii) the portion of the Composition which would have been amended on that day shall be amended on the next following Index Valuation Day which is not a Disrupted Day.

The “Roll Weight of the pre-roll Composition of JPMCCI Exchange Commodity c at the close of Index Valuation Day d is:

A. If d is the first anticipated Roll Date but is a Disrupted Day, then

 

B. If d is an anticipated Roll Date other than the first anticipated Roll Date but is a Disrupted Day;

 

C. If d is any anticipated Roll Date which is not a Disrupted Day;

 

where: is the number of Index Valuation Days since the beginning of the month, as of Index Valuation Day d .

E. Annual Calculation and Use of the Portfolio Continuity Factor
   
E.1 Purpose of the Portfolio Continuity Factor

Portfolio Continuity Factors are introduced to prevent discontinuities in the JPMCCI Aggregate Indices, JPMCCI Energy Light Indices, and the JPMCCI Sector Indices when rebalancing from one set of Aggregate Commodity Units, which are denominated in physical units, to the next set of Aggregate Commodity Units.

 


A-21

JPMorgan Commodity Curve Index: Reference Document


E.2 Calculation of Portfolio Continuity Factor for the JPMCCI Aggregate Index

The “Portfolio Continuity Factor for year y is:

where:

  means December in year y-1
     
  means the last Index Valuation Day in year y-1
     
  means the Settlement Price denominated in U.S. dollars per physical unit of the commodity underlying the JPMCCI Exchange Commodity as of day d, for the JPMCCI Exchange Commodity c Monthly Contract expiring n months after month m

JPMorgan Commodity Curve Index: Reference Document


I. Aggregate Commodity Units and Portfolio Continuity Factors for JPMCCI from 1989 - 2008

I.1 Aggregate Commodity Units for JPMCCI Aggregate Index

The following Aggregate Commodity Units were used for the implementation of the JPMCCI to create hypothetical back-tested results and the current version of the JPMCCI Aggregate Index. For years prior to 2003, the Aggregate Commodity Units were set to those of year 2003. This was done because open interest data was not obtainable from the Futures Industries Association for many commodity contracts prior to 1999, hence the first reliable Observation Period spanned from November 1999 to October 2002. Aggregate Commodity Units were set to 0 for commodities which were not traded historically, did not meet the estimated market size criterion of $250 million, or for which prices were unobtainable.

For crude oil and heating oil, the open interest for the NYMEX and ICE contracts were combined. For gold and silver, the open interest for the COMEX and CBOT contracts were combined. For gasoline, the open interest for the phased out NYMEX Unleaded Gasoline and successor NYMEX RBOB Gasoline contracts were combined.

JPMorgan Commodity Curve Index: Reference Document


J. Estimated Market Sizes 1990-2008

Estimated Market Sizes for various Potential JPMCCI Exchange Commodities were estimated historically to narrow down potential commodity contracts for inclusion. The Estimated Market Size for each year is calculated as the average of the Monthly Open Interest figures reported by the Futures Industry Association during the Observation Period, multiplied by the Settlement Price of the commodity’s front month contract prevailing on the last Index Valuation Day on October in the prior year.

Note: For years prior to 2003, the Observation Period was set to that of the Observation Period of 2003 (spanning from November 1999 to October 2002) because open interest data was not obtainable from the Futures Industries Association for many commodity contracts before then.

The figures below are in U.S.$ millions.

JPMorgan Commodity Curve Index: Reference Document


L. Note on Hypothetical Back-tested Historical Calculations

The hypothetical back-tested historical values of the JPMCCI Index (i.e. any values preceding November 9, 2007) should not be taken as an indication of future performance, and no assurance can be given as to the values of the JPMCCI Index on a future date. The hypothetical back-tested historical values of the JPMCCI Index were calculated on materially the same basis on which the JPMCCI Index is now calculated; however, certain historical information used in calculating the JPMCCI Index was not available to the Index Calculation Agent in determining hypothetical back-tested historical values. Below are the material variations and assumptions used in calculating the hypothetical back-tested historical values prior to initial published values of the JPMCCI Indices on November 9, 2007.

JPMSL expressly disclaims any responsibility for (i) any errors or omissions in calculating the back-tested information and (ii) any uses to which the back-tested information may be put by any person.

Aggregate Commodity Units Prior to 2003

Prior to 2003, certain open interest information was not published by the Futures Industries Association for periods prior to November 1999. The first reliable Observation Period spanned from November 1999 to October 2002. Therefore, the Aggregate Commodity Units were set to equal to the Aggregate Commodity Units based on figures calculated in 2003.

Data unavailability with regard to Historical Monthly Contract Interest Percentages

Historically, in any year during which any HMCOIP cannot be calculated due to missing MCOIP data, all the HMCOIPs of that year were set to the HMCOIPs of the following year for which complete MCOIP data was available. For example, if reliable open interest data was not available prior to 1997 (included), then all the HMCOIPs for 1998 to 2000, all of which rely on MCOIPs of 1997, would have been set to the HMCOIPs of 2001, assuming that MCOIPs for 1998, 1999 and 2000 were intact.
