15 month Return Notes linked to the J.P. Morgan Strategic Volatility Index

OVERVIEW
The J.P. Morgan Strategic Volatility Index (the "Index" or "Strategic
Volatility Index") is a synthetic, dynamic strategy that aims to replicate the
returns from combining a long position and a contingent short position in
futures contracts on the CBOE Volatility Index([R]) (the "VIX Index") rolled
throughout each month.

The synthetic long position rolls from the second-month VIX futures contract
into the third-month VIX futures contract. When activated, the synthetic short
position rolls from the first-month VIX futures contract into the second-month
VIX futures contract. Exposure to the synthetic short position will vary
between 0% and 100%. See " The JP Morgan Strategic Volatility Index" in the
accompanying term sheet for additional information about the Index.
The notes may be appropriate for investors seeking exposure to equity
volatility through synthetic long and short positions in VIX futures contracts.


You may lose some or all of your principal at maturity. Any payment on the
notes is subject to the credit risk of JPMorgan Chase and Co.

Return Profile

At maturity, you will receive a cash payment of $1,000 times (1+Index Return on
the Final Valuation Date). You may also request that we repurchase your notes
prior to maturity, subject to a repurchase fee of $5 per $1,000 notional.* The
notes provide the opportunity to obtain an uncapped return at maturity or upon
early repurchase linked to the Index.

Your payment at maturity, or upon early repurchase, is subject to the credit
risk of JPMorgan Chase and Co.

The level of the Index incorporates the daily deduction of (a) the index fee of
0.75% per annum and (b) a "daily rebalancing adjustment amount" that is
determined by applying a rebalancing adjustment factor of between 0.20% and
0.50% per day, both to aggregate notional amount of each of the VIX futures
contracts hypothetically traded that day and the amount of the change, if any,
in the level of the exposure to the synthetic short position.

The estimated value described in the preliminary term sheet reflects the daily
accrual of the index fee. The daily rebalancing adjustment amount does not
impact this estimated value.

The level of the Index and the value of the notes will be adversely affected if
the performance of the synthetic long position and the contingent synthetic
short position in the relevant VIX futures contracts is not sufficient to
offset the daily deduction of both amounts. The daily rebalancing adjustment
factor is likely to have a substantial adverse effect on the level of the Index
over time.

** The hypothetical returns and hypothetical payments on the notes shown above
apply only at maturity. These hypotheticals do not reflect fees or expenses
that would be associated with any sale in the secondary market. If these fees
and expenses were included, the hypothetical returns and hypothetical payments
shown above would likely be lower.

15 month Return Notes linked to the J.P. Morgan Strategic Volatility Index


                 North America Structured Investments Selected Purchase
Considerations
[] Uncapped appreciation potential: The notes provide the opportunity to obtain
an uncapped return at maturity, or upon early repurchase, linked to the Index
(which will reflect the daily deduction of the index fee and the daily
rebalancing adjustment amount) subject to, in the case of an early repurchase,
the deduction of the Repurchase Fee.
[] The averaging convention used to calculate the ending index level could
limit returns
[] The level of the Index incorporates the daily deduction of (a) the index fee
of 0.75%  per annum and (b) a "daily rebalancing adjustment amount" that is
determined by applying a rebalancing adjustment factor of between 0.20%  and
0.50%  per day, both to the aggregate notional amount of each of the VIX
futures contracts hypothetically traded that day and the amount of the change,
if any, in the level of the exposure to the synthetic short position.
[] Daily repurchases in minimum denominations equal to the principal amount,
subject to a 0.50%  repurchase fee.  While we intend to accept all requests for
early repurchase of notes, we are not obligated to accept any repurchase
request.  We are not committed to purchasing any note at a particular time or
price.
[] Potential for Long Term Capital Gains tax treatment if held longer than one
year.

Selected Risks
[] The risks identified below are not exhaustive.   Please see "Risk Factors"
in the applicable product supplement and any applicable underlying supplement
and "Selected Risk Considerations" to the applicable term sheet for additional
information.
[] Your investment in the notes may result in a loss.  The return on your
initial investment will reflect the daily deduction of the index fee and the
daily rebalancing adjustment amount from the level of the Index and, in the
case of an early repurchase, the deduction of the Repurchase Fee.  If the Index
declines by 100% from its initial level at maturity, you would lose all of your
principal. There are no interest payment on the notes.
[] Payment on the notes is subject to our credit risk.  Therefore the value of
the notes prior to maturity will be subject to changes in the market's view of
our creditworthiness.
[] You may receive less than your initial investment due to the index fee and
daily rebalancing adjustment amount, and, in the case of early repurchase, the
repurchase fee amount. The daily rebalancing adjustment amount is likely to
have a substantial adverse effect on the level of the Index over time.  [] Our
affiliate, J. P.  Morgan Securities plc, is the index calculation agent and may
adjust the Index in a way that affects its level [] The Index has a limited
operating history.  Hypothetical back-tested data related to the Index does not
represent actual historical data and are subject to inherent limitations. The
strategy reflected in the Index may not be successful.
[] Notes that provide exposure to equity volatility, which are subject to
significant fluctuations, are not suitable for all investors.   You should
actively manage your investment in the notes.
[] When the synthetic short is activated, your return depends on the net , not
the absolute performance, of the synthetic positions.  [] The profits JPMorgan
earns on the notes do not depend on the performance of the Index.
[] Due to the time lag inherent in the Index, the exposure to the synthetic
short position may not be adjusted quickly enough in response to a change in
market conditions for the investment strategy on which the Index is based to be
successful.
[] Because exposure to the synthetic short position is adjusted only if the
applicable conditions are satisfied for three consecutive business days, the
exposure to the synthetic short position may not be adjusted during
non-trending  market conditions.
[] The Index is an excess return index and reflects the performance of an
uncollateralized investment in futures contracts.
[] The Index level may not increase even when the synthetic long position or
the synthetic short position, when activated, generates a positive return.  []
You may lose some or all of your principal at maturity because there are no
limits on losses related to the short position embedded in the Index.
[] JPMS' estimated value does not represent future values and may differ from
others' estimates.
[] The notes' value in customer account statements may be higher than JPMS'
then current estimated value for a limited time period.
[] Potential Conflicts:  we and our affiliates play a variety of roles in
connection with the notes, including acting as a note calculation agent, index
calculation agent, index sponsor, as agent for the note offering, hedging our
obligations under the notes and making the assumptions used to determine the
pricing of the notes.  It is possible that such hedging or trading activities
of ours or our affiliates could result in substantial returns for us or our
affiliates while the value of the notes decline.
[] Lack of Liquidity: The price, if any, at which JPMS will be willing to
purchase notes from you in the secondary market, if at all, may result in a
significant loss of your principal.
