Lending values are determined by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. in its sole discretion. Advance rates on securities are determined by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., and are subject to change without notice. Lines of credit are extended at the discretion of J.P. Morgan, and J.P. Morgan has no commitment to extend a line of credit or make loans available under the line of credit. Any extension of uedit is subject to credit approval by the lender in accordance with the terms contained in definitive loan documents. Loans collateralized by securities involve certain risks and may not be suitable for all borrowers and investors. A decline in the value of securities pledged as collateral may require the borrower to provide additional collateral and/or pay down the loan or line of uedit in order to avoid the forced sale of the securities by the lender. 15 EFTA00506040 Diversify EFTA00506041 An outright sale of shares is the most direct path to diversification But deciding on a selling strategy is more complex than it may seem • Shares can either be sold all at once or in stages Investors selling a concentrated position must ask themselves the following questions: — What is the right amount for me to sell? (Consider liquidity needs and appetite for continued exposure to single-stock risk) Am I comfortable selling out of the position more gradually if it means potentially selling at a higher price? Am I comfortable selling out of the position more gradually if it means potentially selling at a lower price? If I sell in stages, what is an appropriate pace for the sales? How will the realized capital gains event(s) impact my overall income tax situation? Immediate Sale • Generates immediate cash for diversification • Possibility of selling at a depressed or undervalued price • Large lots may move markets • Investor may be subject to trading restrictions • Creates an immediate capital gains tax liability Staged Selling Strategy • Liquidity realized more gradually • Greater potential upside and downside because concentration is held longer • Can accommodate investors subject to trading restrictions • Capital gains taxes incurred, albeit at a staggered pace The views and strategies described herein may not be suitable for all investors.

At trade date: Investor receives proceeds2 Investor posts underlying stock as collateral During term of trade: Investor can use PrISM proceeds for any purpose Can be structured such that investor retains all or most dividends (optional) and voting rights during term of transaction At maturity date: Investor delivers shares or cash3 Investor receives back excess shares4 Number of shares (or amount of cash) depends on stock price at maturity 1. A PrISM is also known as a prepaid variable forward. 2. Strategy typically allows a client to receive 75.90% of the stock value upfront with a variable number of shares delivered (or cash value payable) at maturity. 3. May be settled in stock or the cash equivalent, upon Client's election. 4. If stock price at maturity is greater than the hedged value; total number of shares retained subject to payments under the cap level.

If unwound early, the actual payout may vary from expected payout at maturity' If stock price at maturity is less than hedged value: — Investor delivers 100% of the shares (or cash value) If stock price at maturity is between the hedged value and the upside limit: — Investor delivers a percentage of the number of shares equal to the hedged value divided by the settlement price (or cash value) If stock price at maturity is greater than the upside limit: — Investor delivers a percentage of the number of shares equal to the hedged value of shares plus appreciation above the upside limit divided by the settlement price (or cash value) 1. Dividend protection is as defined in the term sheet and confirmation. Dividends would not qualify for qualified dividend income tax treatment during the term of the PrISM contract. 2.

Investors holding concentrated positions of low-basis stock can contribute the securities to the Fund in exchange for Fund units. Similarly situated investors contribute other marketable securities as well. After a minimum of seven years,' the individual investors may redeem their units of the fund for a pro-rata share of a diversified basket of securities with the same cost basis as the individual investors' bases in the securities originally contributed. ABC Stoc (low basis) Partnership units Tax-free exchange Exchange Fund Diversified Portfolio >20% private assets Pro-rata distribution of fund assets Redeem units after seven years Diversified Portfolio The 'investment company" tax rules (which concern a tax definition of a pre-tax diversification concept) must be avoided (i.e., avoid taxable event inbound in the capitalization of the partnership/swap fund). The most common way to avoid these rules is to initially close the fund with more than 20% of the fund value composed of certain private assets (i.e., fail one of the tax definitions in the investment company rules) Income Tax Treatment • No income tax consequence on contribution • No income tax consequence on distribution (after at least seven years) • Investor allocates his or her original cost basis to the basket of securities distributed to him or her • Capital gains tax due on later sale of the securities received Transfer Tax Treatment • Depending on the facts, value of fund units may reflect a discount to their apparent market value, because of their illiquidity and "minority" status • Exchange fund generally should incorporate a feature that would allow units to be gifted • If held by a decedent, units may also qualify for a valuation discount for estate tax purposes . Timeframe driven by current partnership tax law. There have been legislative proposals in the past hat would have extended this time period to ten years and future legislative changes could alter this timeframe.

You should consult your own tax, legal, and accounting advisors before engaging in any financial transactions. 21 EFTA00506046 A Personal Exchange Fund, under certain circumstances, may allow indefinite deferral of capital gains tax on low-basis shares A personal exchange fund allows a number of shareholders, acting through a single vehicle, to hedge and monetize a low-basis single stock position and actively manage investments, while offering the opportunity to defer capital gains tax associated with the low-basis shares. In a typical personal exchange fund, three or more shareholders form a partnership or limited liability company (LLC), contributing the same low basis single stock.' The LLC then enters into a seven-year2 variable prepaid forward contract (such as a PrISM)3 to generate cash for reinvestment. Unlike a public exchange fund, the LLC can actively manage its investments in accordance with the objectives set forth in its shareholders' operating agreement (e.g., in a diversified equity portfolio). Benefits Under certain circumstances, strategy may allow for indefinite deferral of capital gains tax on a low-basis stock holding • Partners determine how fund's assets are invested, and may vary these investments over time • Partners retain upside exposure on the underlying shares • Strategy may be executed in a family limited partnership or family limited liability company that could also own other assets, including closely-held business interests Risks • Tax law changes may affect certain tax benefits of the structure • Early non-pro rata distributions from the LLC (as a result of death, taxable corporate actions, etc.) may have a negative effect on the overall strategy • Appreciation in the underlying stock price is limited to the upside limit in the PrISM structure • Partners may sell their fund units, likely at a discount, before the seven-year period expires 1. Partners may have previously received their stock by gift from another partner. The lapse of time between the gift and the contribution to the partnership is an additional consideration. 2. Timeframe driven by current partnership tax law. There have been legislative proposals in the past that would have extended this time period to ten years and future legislative changes could alter this timeframe. 3.

Physical delivery of the shares would result in a taxable long-term capital gain on the difference between the amount received upfront and the tax basis of the shares delivered (assuming the shares had been held for more than one year prior to entering into the PrISM). The cost basis of the shares would either be their original basis or, to the extent that one of the investors has died in the interim, the stepped-up tax basis resulting from that event (assuming the LLC has made an election pursuant to IRC §754) • Unless the LLC's investors agree otherwise, this would be the "default" option 2) Roll the PrISM within the LLC • The LLC might elect this option if the stock subject to the PrISM has experienced a decline in value since inception which they believe is unwarranted or overdone. In this case, the LLC would modify the terms of the PrISM contract to extend the delivery date (paying consideration to the counterparty in the process). The LLC's investors may not recognize gain or loss at the time the PrISM contract is modified as the transaction would remain open until the extended delivery date' 1. Estate of McKelvey v.

Cert:±5 24 EFTA00506049 Strategies to consider at or prior to the maturity of the PrISM (cont.) 3) Redeem out one or more investors with a non-pro rata portion of the LLC's assets and/or liabilities • The LLC might elect this option for one or more of the investors in exchange for all or a portion of the stock subject to the PrISM or of the diversified portfolio that differs from that of the other investors • For example, the LLC may choose to redeem the interest of one of the investors in exchange for all or a portion of the diversified equity portfolio, with the shares subject to the PrISM remaining in the LLC. Assuming that: — The redemption takes place more than seven years' after the formation of the LLC, — The redeemed investor is the original investor (and not his/her estate), and — The LLC makes a §754 election, the redemption would result in a stepping down in the cost basis of the diversified portfolio to the cost basis that the redeemed investor had in the shares subject to the PrISM (plus any gain recognized in the intervening period). This basis step- down would result in a corresponding step-up in the cost basis of the assets remaining in the LLC (consisting primarily of the shares subject to the PrISM). The step-up in basis may reduce the gain the LLC would otherwise recognize when it delivers shares upon maturity of the PrISM, assuming the LLC chooses to satisfy the PrISM by delivering shares (as opposed to settling the PrISM with cash). The redeemed investor would be left with a diversified equity portfolio with a basis that should equal that of the original (low) basis of the stock that the redeemed investor contributed to the LLC (plus that investor's pro-rata portion of any gain recognized in the interim) 4) Redeem the interest of one or more investors in exchange for shares subject to the PrISM and an assumption by those investor(s) of the PrISM liability • The assumption by the redeemed investor(s) of the PrISM liability should cause a step-up in the cost basis of the distributed shares subject to the PrISM. The step-up in the distributed shares should reduce the gain that would otherwise be recognized on closing out the PrISM (assuming the PrISM is closed out by delivering some or all of the shares subject to the PrISM rather than via delivery of cash). The law now mandates a basis step-down in the diversified portfolio left behind in the partnership 1. Timeframe driven by current partnership tax law.

Note: These materials should not be construed as providing legal, tax or accounting advice. In Scenario 3, it is assumed that the investor forms an investment partnership with two smaller partners who contribute the same stock position with a proportionally equivalent cost basis. For comparison purposes, only the investors share of partnership assets are shown. At the time the PrISM contract is to be settled, one of the smaller partners takes a liquidating distribution from the partnership and assumes the PrISM liability. Doing so, the partner receives a step-up in the cost basis of the shares delivered to settle the PrISM, thereby closing the transaction with little or no capital gains tax incurred. The residual shares and the diversified portfolio remaining the in partnership receive an equivalent step-down in their cost basis. "Tax alpha" means the amount by which the annual return of Scenario 1 would have to exceed the annual returns of Scenarios 2 and 3 on a pre-tax basis in order for the portfolio to be worth the same amount at the end of the analysis period.

LPs also generally lack the ability to liquidate their partnership units without the consent of the GP How can an FLP reduce transfer taxes? • The family's senior generation creates the FLP and contributes assets, receiving in exchange all the GP and LP units • The senior generation subsequently gifts LP units to the junior generation, while retaining the GP units — This allows the senior generation, through the GP units, to continue to exercise control over the FLP's assets — Due to the limited partners' lack of control and lack of independent liquidation rights, the appraised value of the gifted LP units for transfer tax purposes generally should be less than if the FLP's assets were transferred to the junior generation outright The views and strategies described herein and the applicable tax rules are complex and may not be suitable for all investors.

This "10% test" effectively caps the annuity amount/unitrust interest income beneficiaries can receive • Young grantors with long life expectancies may be unable to create a lifetime CRT for either of the following two reasons: — It may not be possible for the present value of the CRT remainder interest to pass the 10% test — A lifetime CRAT's (a) fixed annuity payment requirement and (b) indeterminate term create a risk of trust depletion; the IRS has ruled that the actuarial probability of the grantor's surviving past the point of trust depletion can be no greater than 5% for a valid CRAT to be created • The IRS has provided a sample provision for CRATs that may be used as an alternative to the above tests. If an annuity payment would result in the trust corpus' being less than 10% of its initial value, this provision would cause the early termination of the CRAT on the date immediately before such annuity payment would be mad& 1.

Commissioner,' stands for the proposition that a taxpayer may "roll" a variable prepaid forward contract (such as a PrISM2) by extending the length of the contract — Taxpayer had outstanding variable prepaid forward contracts with two investments banks as the respective counterparties — Counterparties agreed to extend the length of the contracts in exchange for cash consideration from the taxpayer — Taxpayer took the position that there had been no realized tax event upon modification of the contract and that the transaction remained open — IRS took the position that the modified contracts should be viewed as separate financial instruments and that constructive sales had occurred • The Tax Court ruled in favor of the taxpayer and held that the open transaction treatment afforded to the variable prepaid forward contracts in Rev. Rul. 2003-7 continued until the transactions were closed by the future delivery of cash or shares under the terms of the modified contracts • The McKelvey case is not a panacea: — The IRS has not acquiesced to the Tax Court's decision and may appeal or litigate in another forum — The IRS believes that the decision is at odds with black-letter law in both the Internal Revenue Code and the controlling regulations — The facts of the case involved a single modification of the contracts; there is no indication how the courts might view a taxpayer's attempts to roll a contract indefinitely 1.

However, in certain circumstances, the executors may elect to value the assets six months after the date of death' Stock appreciates Elect date-of-death value for estate tax purposes EPO expires worthless, but may be offset by gain on stock Death + 6 months Stock depreciates Death Elect value of stock six months after date of death Exercise EPO to sell stock at higher strike price 1. This election would apply to all assets of the estate. Accordingly, this strategy may be of particular interest when a concentrated position represents the majority of an estate's assets.

Creaffb 41 EFTA00506066 Important information: Understanding long-term estimates Risk and return measures are developed by J.P. Morgan and a multi•factor model. Estimates of unmanaged return and volatility for portfolios are based on our projected long-term estimates and are described in greater detail below. Our investment management research incorporates our proprietary projections of the long-term returns and volatility of each asset class over the long term, as well as mathematically derived correlations among the asset classes. Clearly, neither we nor any other financial firm can predict how markets will perform in the future. But we do believe that by analyzing current economic and market conditions and historical market trends, and then, most critically, making projections of future economic growth, inflation, and real yields for each country, we can estimate the long-term performance for an entire asset class, given current and our estimated equilibrium levels. The equilibrium level shows the average or central tendency over a very long period of time around which market returns will tend to fluctuate, because it represents the value inherent in that market. It is possible indeed, probable that actual returns will vary considerably from this, even for a number of years. But we believe that market returns will always at some point return to the equilibrium trend. We further believe that these kinds of forward•looking assessments are far more accurate than historical trends in deciding what asset class performance will be, and how best to determine an optimal asset mix. In reviewing this material, please understand that all references to return are not promises, or even estimates, of actual returns one may achieve. They simply show what the long- term return should be, according to our best estimates. Also note that actual performance may be affected by the expertise of the person who actually manages these investments, both in picking individual securities and possibly adjusting the mix periodically to take advantage of asset class undervaluations and overvaluations caused by market trends. For the purpose of this analysis volatility is defined as a statistical measure of the dispersion of return for a given allocation and is measured as the standard deviation of the allocation's arithmetic return. Correlation is a statistical measure of the degree to which the movements of two variables, in this case asset class returns, are related. Correlation can range from -1 to 1 with 1 indicating that the returns of two assets move directionally in concert with one another, i.e. they behave in the same way during the same time. A correlation of 0 indicates that the returns move independently of each other and •1 indicates that they move in the opposite direction.

Furthermore, the material is incomplete without reference to, and should be viewed in conjunction with, the verbal briefing provided by J.P.

Morgan") have an actual or perceived economic or other incentive in its management of our clients' portfolios to act in a way that benefits J.P. Morgan. Conflicts will result, for example (to the extent the following activities are permitted in your account): (1) when J.P. Morgan invests in an investment product, such as a mutual fund, structured product, separately managed account or hedge fund issued or managed by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. or an affiliate, such as J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc.; (2) when a J.P. Morgan entity obtains services, including trade execution and trade clearing, from an affiliate; (3) when _LP. Morgan receives payment as a result of purchasing an investment product for a client's account; or (4) when J.P. Morgan receives payment for providing services (including shareholder servicing, recordkeeping or custody) with respect to investment products purchased for a client's portfolio. Other conflicts will result because of relationships that J.P. Morgan has with other clients or when J.P. Morgan acts for its own account. Investment strategies are selected from both J.P. Morgan and third-party asset managers and are subject to a review process by our manager research teams. From this pool of strategies, our portfolio construction teams select those strategies we believe fit our asset allocation goals and forward looking views in order to meet the portfolio's investment objective. As a general matter, we prefer J.P. Morgan managed strategies. We expect the proportion of J.P. Morgan managed strategies will be high (in fact, up to 100 percent) in strategies such as, for example, cash and high-quality fixed income, subject to applicable law and any account-specific considerations. While our internally managed strategies generally align well with our forward looking views, and we are familiar with the investment processes as well as the risk and compliance philosophy of the firm, it is important to note that J.P. Morgan receives more overall fees when internally managed strategies are included. We offer the option of choosing to exclude J.P. Morgan managed strategies (other than cash and liquidity products) in certain portfolios. 43 EFTA00506068 Important information PURPOSE OF THIC MATFRIAl This material is for intonation purposes only.
