Hypothetical Payout Profile
The following table and graph illustrate the hypothetical payment
at maturity on the notes linked to three hypothetical Indices. The
hypothetical payments set forth below assume the following:
|
· |
an Initial Value for the Least Performing Index of 100.00; |
|
· |
a Participation Rate of 100.00%; and |
|
· |
a Maximum Amount of $400.00 per $1,000 principal amount
note. |
The hypothetical Initial Value of the Least Performing Index of
100.00 has been chosen for illustrative purposes only and does not
represent the actual Initial Value of any Index. The actual Initial
Value of each Index is the closing level of that Index on the
Pricing Date and is specified under “Key Terms — Initial Value” in
this pricing supplement. For historical data regarding the actual
closing levels of each Index, please see the historical information
set forth under “The Indices” in this pricing supplement.
Each hypothetical total return or hypothetical payment at maturity
set forth below is for illustrative purposes only and may not be
the actual total return or payment at maturity applicable to a
purchaser of the notes. The numbers appearing in the following
table and graph have been rounded for ease of analysis.

|
 |
The following graph demonstrates the hypothetical payments at
maturity on the notes for the Least Performing Index Returns
detailed in the table above (-80% to 80%). There can be no
assurance that the performance of the Least Performing Index will
result in a payment at maturity in excess of $950.00 per $1,000
principal amount note, subject to the credit risks of JPMorgan
Financial and JPMorgan Chase & Co.

How the Notes Work
Upside Scenario:
If the Final Value of each Index is greater than its Initial Value,
investors will receive at maturity the $1,000 principal amount
plus the Additional Amount, which is equal to $1,000
times the Least Performing Index Return times the
Participation Rate of 100.00%, and which will not be greater than
the Maximum Amount of $400.00 per $1,000 principal amount note. An
investor will realize the maximum payment at maturity at a Final
Value of the Least Performing Index of 140.00% or more of its
Initial Value.
|
· |
If the closing level of the Least Performing Index increases
5.00%, investors will receive at maturity a 5.00% return, or
$1,050.00 per $1,000 principal amount note. |
|
· |
If the closing level of the Least Performing Index increases
80.00%, investors will receive at maturity a 40.00% return, or
$1,400.00 per $1,000 principal amount note, which is the maximum
payment at maturity. |
Par Scenario:
If (i) the Final Value of one or more Indices is greater than its
Initial Value and the Final Value of the other Index or Indices is
equal to its Initial Value or (ii) the Final Value of each Index is
equal to its Initial Value, investors will receive at maturity the
principal amount of their notes.
Downside Scenario:
If the Final Value of any Index is less than its Initial Value,
investors will lose 1% of the principal amount of their notes for
every 1% that the Final Value of the Least Performing Index is less
than its Initial Value, provided that the payment at
maturity will not be less than $950.00 per $1,000 principal amount
note.
|
· |
For example, if the closing level of the Least Performing Index
declines 2.50%, investors will lose 2.50% of their principal amount
and receive only $975.00 per $1,000 principal amount note at
maturity. |
|
· |
For example, if the closing level of the Least Performing Index
declines 50.00%, investors will lose 5.00% of their principal
amount and receive only $950.00 per $1,000 principal amount note at
maturity. |
The hypothetical returns and hypothetical payments on the notes
shown above apply only if you hold the notes for their entire
term. These hypotheticals do not reflect the fees or expenses
that would be associated with any sale in the secondary market. If
these fees and expenses were included, the hypothetical returns and
hypothetical payments shown above would likely be lower.

Selected Risk Considerations
An investment in the notes involves significant risks. These risks
are explained in more detail in the “Risk Factors” sections of the
accompanying prospectus supplement, product supplement and
underlying supplement.
Risks Relating to the Notes Generally
|
· |
THE NOTES MAY NOT PAY MORE THAN 95.00% OF THE PRINCIPAL
AMOUNT AT MATURITY — |
If the Final Value of any Index is less than its Initial Value, you
will lose 1% of the principal amount of your notes for every 1%
that the Final Value of the Least Performing Index is less than its
Initial Value, provided that the payment at maturity will
not be less than $950.00 per $1,000 principal amount note, subject
to the credit risks of JPMorgan Financial and JPMorgan Chase &
Co. Accordingly, under these circumstances, you will lose up to
5.00% of your principal amount at maturity and you will not be
compensated for any loss in value due to inflation and other
factors relating to the value of money over time.
|
· |
YOUR MAXIMUM GAIN ON THE NOTES IS LIMITED BY THE MAXIMUM
AMOUNT, |
regardless of any appreciation of any Index, which may be
significant.
|
· |
CREDIT RISKS OF JPMORGAN FINANCIAL AND JPMORGAN CHASE &
CO. — |
Investors are dependent on our and JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s
ability to pay all amounts due on the notes. Any actual or
potential change in our or JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s
creditworthiness or credit spreads, as determined by the market for
taking that credit risk, is likely to adversely affect the value of
the notes. If we and JPMorgan Chase & Co. were to default on
our payment obligations, you may not receive any amounts owed to
you under the notes and you could lose your entire investment.
|
· |
AS A FINANCE SUBSIDIARY, JPMORGAN FINANCIAL HAS NO
INDEPENDENT OPERATIONS AND HAS LIMITED ASSETS — |
As a finance subsidiary of JPMorgan Chase & Co., we have no
independent operations beyond the issuance and administration of
our securities. Aside from the initial capital contribution from
JPMorgan Chase & Co., substantially all of our assets relate to
obligations of our affiliates to make payments under loans made by
us or other intercompany agreements. As a result, we are dependent
upon payments from our affiliates to meet our obligations under the
notes. If these affiliates do not make payments to us and we fail
to make payments on the notes, you may have to seek payment under
the related guarantee by JPMorgan Chase & Co., and that
guarantee will rank pari passu with all other unsecured and
unsubordinated obligations of JPMorgan Chase & Co.
|
· |
YOU ARE EXPOSED TO THE RISK OF DECLINE IN THE LEVEL OF EACH
INDEX — |
Payments on the notes are not linked to a basket composed of the
Indices and are contingent upon the performance of each individual
Index. Poor performance by any of the Indices over the term of the
notes may negatively affect your payment at maturity and will not
be offset or mitigated by positive performance by any other
Index.
|
· |
YOUR PAYMENT AT MATURITY WILL BE DETERMINED BY THE LEAST
PERFORMING INDEX. |
|
· |
THE NOTES DO NOT PAY INTEREST. |
|
· |
YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE DIVIDENDS ON THE SECURITIES INCLUDED IN
ANY INDEX OR HAVE ANY RIGHTS WITH RESPECT TO THOSE
SECURITIES. |
The notes will not be listed on any securities exchange.
Accordingly, the price at which you may be able to trade your notes
is likely to depend on the price, if any, at which JPMS is willing
to buy the notes. You may not be able to sell your notes. The notes
are not designed to be short-term trading instruments. Accordingly,
you should be able and willing to hold your notes to maturity.
Risks Relating to Conflicts of Interest
We and our affiliates play a variety of roles in connection with
the notes. In performing these duties, our and JPMorgan Chase &
Co.’s economic interests are potentially adverse to your interests
as an investor in the notes. It is possible that hedging or trading
activities of ours or our affiliates in connection with the notes
could result in substantial returns for us or our affiliates while
the value of the notes declines. Please refer to “Risk Factors —
Risks Relating to Conflicts of Interest” in the accompanying
product supplement.

 |
Risks Relating to the Estimated Value and Secondary Market
Prices of the Notes
|
· |
THE ESTIMATED VALUE OF THE NOTES IS LOWER THAN THE ORIGINAL
ISSUE PRICE (PRICE TO PUBLIC) OF THE NOTES — |
The estimated value of the notes is only an estimate determined by
reference to several factors. The original issue price of the notes
exceeds the estimated value of the notes because costs associated
with selling, structuring and hedging the notes are included in the
original issue price of the notes. These costs include the selling
commissions, the projected profits, if any, that our affiliates
expect to realize for assuming risks inherent in hedging our
obligations under the notes and the estimated cost of hedging our
obligations under the notes. See “The Estimated Value of the Notes”
in this pricing supplement.
|
· |
THE ESTIMATED VALUE OF THE NOTES DOES NOT REPRESENT FUTURE
VALUES OF THE NOTES AND MAY DIFFER FROM OTHERS’ ESTIMATES
— |
See “The Estimated Value of the Notes” in this pricing
supplement.
|
· |
THE ESTIMATED VALUE OF THE NOTES IS DERIVED BY REFERENCE TO
AN INTERNAL FUNDING RATE — |
The internal funding rate used in the determination of the
estimated value of the notes may differ from the market-implied
funding rate for vanilla fixed income instruments of a similar
maturity issued by JPMorgan Chase & Co. or its affiliates. Any
difference may be based on, among other things, our and our
affiliates’ view of the funding value of the notes as well as the
higher issuance, operational and ongoing liability management costs
of the notes in comparison to those costs for the conventional
fixed income instruments of JPMorgan Chase & Co. This internal
funding rate is based on certain market inputs and assumptions,
which may prove to be incorrect, and is intended to approximate the
prevailing market replacement funding rate for the notes. The use
of an internal funding rate and any potential changes to that rate
may have an adverse effect on the terms of the notes and any
secondary market prices of the notes. See “The Estimated Value of
the Notes” in this pricing supplement.
|
· |
THE VALUE OF THE NOTES AS PUBLISHED BY JPMS (AND WHICH MAY
BE REFLECTED ON CUSTOMER ACCOUNT STATEMENTS) MAY BE HIGHER THAN THE
THEN-CURRENT ESTIMATED VALUE OF THE NOTES FOR A LIMITED TIME PERIOD
— |
We generally expect that some of the costs included in the original
issue price of the notes will be partially paid back to you in
connection with any repurchases of your notes by JPMS in an amount
that will decline to zero over an initial predetermined period. See
“Secondary Market Prices of the Notes” in this pricing supplement
for additional information relating to this initial period.
Accordingly, the estimated value of your notes during this initial
period may be lower than the value of the notes as published by
JPMS (and which may be shown on your customer account
statements).
|
· |
SECONDARY MARKET PRICES OF THE NOTES WILL LIKELY BE LOWER
THAN THE ORIGINAL ISSUE PRICE OF THE NOTES — |
Any secondary market prices of the notes will likely be lower than
the original issue price of the notes because, among other things,
secondary market prices take into account our internal secondary
market funding rates for structured debt issuances and, also,
because secondary market prices may exclude selling commissions,
projected hedging profits, if any, and estimated hedging costs that
are included in the original issue price of the notes. As a result,
the price, if any, at which JPMS will be willing to buy the notes
from you in secondary market transactions, if at all, is likely to
be lower than the original issue price. Any sale by you prior to
the Maturity Date could result in a substantial loss to you.
|
· |
SECONDARY MARKET PRICES OF THE NOTES WILL BE IMPACTED BY
MANY ECONOMIC AND MARKET FACTORS — |
The secondary market price of the notes during their term will be
impacted by a number of economic and market factors, which may
either offset or magnify each other, aside from the selling
commissions, projected hedging profits, if any, estimated hedging
costs and the levels of the Indices. Additionally, independent
pricing vendors and/or third party broker-dealers may publish a
price for the notes, which may also be reflected on customer
account statements. This price may be different (higher or lower)
than the price of the notes, if any, at which JPMS may be willing
to purchase your notes in the secondary market. See “Risk Factors —
Risks Relating to the Estimated Value and Secondary Market Prices
of the Notes — Secondary market prices of the notes will be
impacted by many economic and market factors” in the accompanying
product supplement.

NON-U.S. SECURITIES RISK WITH
RESPECT TO THE NASDAQ-100 INDEX® — |
Some of the equity securities included in the NASDAQ-100
Index® have been issued by non-U.S. companies.
Investments in securities linked to the value of such non-U.S.
equity securities involve risks associated with the home countries
of the issuers of those non-U.S. equity securities.
|
· |
AN INVESTMENT IN THE NOTES IS SUBJECT TO RISKS ASSOCIATED
WITH SMALL CAPITALIZATION STOCKS WITH RESPECT TO THE RUSSELL
2000® INDEX — |
Small capitalization companies may be less able to withstand
adverse economic, market, trade and competitive conditions relative
to larger companies. Small capitalization companies are less likely
to pay dividends on their stocks, and the presence of a dividend
payment could be a factor that limits downward stock price pressure
under adverse market conditions.

The historical closing levels of each Index should not be taken as
an indication of future performance, and no assurance can be given
as to the closing level of any Index on the Observation Date. There
can be no assurance that the performance of the Indices will result
in a payment at maturity in excess of $950.00 per $1,000 principal
amount note, subject to the credit risks of JPMorgan Financial and
JPMorgan Chase & Co.

Treatment as Contingent Payment Debt Instruments
There is uncertainty
regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment
in the notes due to the lack of governing authority. You should
review carefully the section entitled “Material U.S. Federal Income
Tax Consequences,” and in particular the subsection thereof
entitled “Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders — Notes with a Term of
More than One Year — Notes Treated as Contingent Payment Debt
Instruments” in the accompanying product supplement no. 3-II.
Notwithstanding that the notes do not provide for the full
repayment of their principal amount at or prior to maturity, our
special tax counsel, Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, is of the
opinion that the notes should be treated for U.S. federal income
tax purposes as debt instruments. Based on current market
conditions, we intend to treat the notes for U.S. federal income
tax purposes as “contingent payment debt instruments.”
Assuming this treatment is respected, as discussed in that
subsection, unlike a traditional debt instrument that provides for
periodic payments of interest at a single fixed rate, with respect
to which a cash-method investor generally recognizes income only
upon receipt of stated interest, you generally will be required to
accrue original issue discount (“OID”) on your notes in each
taxable year at the “comparable yield,” as determined by us,
although we will not make any payment with respect to the notes
until maturity. Upon sale or exchange (including at
maturity), you will recognize taxable income or loss equal to the
difference between the amount received from the sale or exchange
and your adjusted basis in the note, which generally will equal the
cost thereof, increased by the amount of OID you have accrued in
respect of the note. You generally must treat any income as
interest income and any loss as ordinary loss to the extent of
previous interest inclusions, and the balance as capital
loss. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to
limitations. Special rules may apply if the amount payable at
maturity is treated as becoming fixed prior to maturity. You
should consult your tax adviser concerning the application of these
rules. The discussions herein and in the accompanying product
supplement do not address the consequences to taxpayers subject to
special tax accounting rules under Section 451(b) of the
Code. Purchasers who are not initial
PS-8
| Structured Investments
Capped Notes Linked to the Least Performing of the Dow Jones
Industrial AverageTM, the NASDAQ-100 Index®
and the Russell 2000® Index
|
 |
purchasers of notes at their issue price should consult their tax
advisers with respect to the tax consequences of an investment in
notes, including the treatment of the difference, if any, between
the basis in their notes and the notes’ adjusted issue price.
Our treatment of the notes
will be binding on you, unless you properly disclose to the IRS an
alternative treatment. Also, the IRS may challenge the treatment of
the notes as CPDIs. If the IRS successfully challenges the
treatment of the notes as CPDIs, then the notes would be treated as
original issue discount debt instruments (that are not CPDIs) with
an amount of original issue discount equal to the maximum return at
maturity. Under this treatment, if you are a U.S. Holder, your
annual taxable income from (and adjusted tax basis in) the notes
would be greater than if it were based on the comparable yield, and
any loss recognized upon a disposition of the notes (including upon
maturity) would be capital loss, the deductibility of which is
subject to limitations. Accordingly, this alternative treatment
could result in adverse tax consequences to you.
Section 871(m) of the Code
and Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder (“Section 871(m)”)
generally impose a 30% withholding tax (unless an income tax treaty
applies) on dividend equivalents paid or deemed paid to Non-U.S.
Holders with respect to certain financial instruments linked to
U.S. equities or indices that include U.S. equities. Section
871(m) provides certain exceptions to this withholding regime,
including for instruments linked to certain broad-based indices
that meet requirements set forth in the applicable Treasury
regulations. Additionally, a recent IRS notice excludes from
the scope of Section 871(m) instruments issued prior to January 1,
2025 that do not have a delta of one with respect to underlying
securities that could pay U.S.-source dividends for U.S. federal
income tax purposes (each an “Underlying Security”). Based on
certain determinations made by us, our special tax counsel is of
the opinion that Section 871(m) should not apply to the notes with
regard to Non-U.S. Holders. Our determination is not binding
on the IRS, and the IRS may disagree with this determination.
Section 871(m) is complex and its application may depend on your
particular circumstances, including whether you enter into other
transactions with respect to an Underlying Security. You should
consult your tax adviser regarding the potential application of
Section 871(m) to the notes.
The discussions in the
preceding paragraphs, when read in combination with the section
entitled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” (and in
particular the subsection thereof entitled “— Tax Consequences to
U.S. Holders — Notes with a Term of More than One Year — Notes
Treated as Contingent Payment Debt Instruments”) in the
accompanying product supplement, to the extent they reflect
statements of law, constitute the full opinion of Davis Polk &
Wardwell LLP regarding the material U.S. federal income tax
consequences of owning and disposing of the notes.
Comparable Yield and Projected Payment Schedule
We have determined that the
“comparable yield” is an annual rate of 4.98%, compounded
semiannually. Based on our determination of the comparable yield,
the “projected payment schedule” per $1,000 principal amount note
consists of a single payment at maturity, equal to $1,159.13.
Assuming a semiannual accrual period, the following table sets out
the amount of OID that will accrue with respect to a note during
each calendar period, based upon our determination of the
comparable yield and projected payment schedule.

Neither the comparable
yield nor the projected payment schedule constitutes a
representation by us regarding the actual amount of the payment
that we will make on the notes. The amount you actually receive at
maturity or earlier sale or exchange of your notes will affect your
income for that year, as described above under “Treatment as
Contingent Payment Debt Instruments.”
The Estimated Value of the Notes
The estimated value of the notes set forth on the cover of this
pricing supplement is equal to the sum of the values of the
following hypothetical components: (1) a fixed-income debt
component with the same maturity as the notes, valued using the
internal funding rate described below, and (2) the derivative or
derivatives underlying the economic terms of the notes. The
estimated value of the notes does not represent a minimum price at
which JPMS would be willing to buy your notes in any secondary
market (if any exists) at any time. The internal funding rate used
in the determination of the estimated value of the notes may differ
from the market-implied

funding rate for vanilla fixed income instruments of a similar
maturity issued by JPMorgan Chase & Co. or its affiliates. Any
difference may be based on, among other things, our and our
affiliates’ view of the funding value of the notes as well as the
higher issuance, operational and ongoing liability management costs
of the notes in comparison to those costs for the conventional
fixed income instruments of JPMorgan Chase & Co. This internal
funding rate is based on certain market inputs and assumptions,
which may prove to be incorrect, and is intended to approximate the
prevailing market replacement funding rate for the notes. The use
of an internal funding rate and any potential changes to that rate
may have an adverse effect on the terms of the notes and any
secondary market prices of the notes. For additional information,
see “Selected Risk Considerations — Risks Relating to the Estimated
Value and Secondary Market Prices of the Notes — The Estimated
Value of the Notes Is Derived by Reference to an Internal Funding
Rate” in this pricing supplement.
The value of the derivative or derivatives underlying the economic
terms of the notes is derived from internal pricing models of our
affiliates. These models are dependent on inputs such as the traded
market prices of comparable derivative instruments and on various
other inputs, some of which are market-observable, and which can
include volatility, dividend rates, interest rates and other
factors, as well as assumptions about future market events and/or
environments. Accordingly, the estimated value of the notes is
determined when the terms of the notes are set based on market
conditions and other relevant factors and assumptions existing at
that time.
The estimated value of the notes does not represent future values
of the notes and may differ from others’ estimates. Different
pricing models and assumptions could provide valuations for the
notes that are greater than or less than the estimated value of the
notes. In addition, market conditions and other relevant factors in
the future may change, and any assumptions may prove to be
incorrect. On future dates, the value of the notes could change
significantly based on, among other things, changes in market
conditions, our or JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s creditworthiness,
interest rate movements and other relevant factors, which may
impact the price, if any, at which JPMS would be willing to buy
notes from you in secondary market transactions.
The estimated value of the notes is lower than the original issue
price of the notes because costs associated with selling,
structuring and hedging the notes are included in the original
issue price of the notes. These costs include the selling
commissions paid to JPMS and other affiliated or unaffiliated
dealers, the projected profits, if any, that our affiliates expect
to realize for assuming risks inherent in hedging our obligations
under the notes and the estimated cost of hedging our obligations
under the notes. Because hedging our obligations entails risk and
may be influenced by market forces beyond our control, this hedging
may result in a profit that is more or less than expected, or it
may result in a loss. A portion of the profits, if any, realized in
hedging our obligations under the notes may be allowed to other
affiliated or unaffiliated dealers, and we or one or more of our
affiliates will retain any remaining hedging profits. See “Selected
Risk Considerations — Risks Relating to the Estimated Value and
Secondary Market Prices of the Notes — The Estimated Value of the
Notes Is Lower Than the Original Issue Price (Price to Public) of
the Notes” in this pricing supplement.
Secondary Market Prices of the Notes
For information about factors that will impact any secondary market
prices of the notes, see “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to the
Estimated Value and Secondary Market Prices of the Notes —
Secondary market prices of the notes will be impacted by many
economic and market factors” in the accompanying product
supplement. In addition, we generally expect that some of the costs
included in the original issue price of the notes will be partially
paid back to you in connection with any repurchases of your notes
by JPMS in an amount that will decline to zero over an initial
predetermined period. These costs can include selling commissions,
projected hedging profits, if any, and, in some circumstances,
estimated hedging costs and our internal secondary market funding
rates for structured debt issuances. This initial predetermined
time period is intended to be the shorter of six months and
one-half of the stated term of the notes. The length of any such
initial period reflects the structure of the notes, whether our
affiliates expect to earn a profit in connection with our hedging
activities, the estimated costs of hedging the notes and when these
costs are incurred, as determined by our affiliates. See “Selected
Risk Considerations — Risks Relating to the Estimated Value and
Secondary Market Prices of the Notes — The Value of the Notes as
Published by JPMS (and Which May Be Reflected on Customer Account
Statements) May Be Higher Than the Then-Current Estimated Value of
the Notes for a Limited Time Period” in this pricing
supplement.
Supplemental Use of Proceeds
The notes are offered to meet investor demand for products that
reflect the risk-return profile and market exposure provided by the
notes. See “Hypothetical Payout Profile” and “How the Notes Work”
in this pricing supplement for an illustration of the risk-return
profile of the notes and “The Indices” in this pricing supplement
for a description of the market exposure provided by the notes.
The original issue price of the notes is equal to the estimated
value of the notes plus the selling commissions paid to JPMS and
other affiliated or unaffiliated dealers, plus (minus) the
projected profits (losses) that our affiliates expect to realize
for assuming risks inherent in hedging our obligations under the
notes, plus the estimated cost of hedging our obligations under the
notes.

Supplemental Plan of Distribution
We expect that delivery of the
notes will be made against payment for the notes on or about the
Original Issue Date set forth on the front cover of this pricing
supplement, which will be the third business day following the
Pricing Date of the notes (this settlement cycle being referred to
as “T+3”). Under Rule 15c6-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended, trades in the secondary market generally are
required to settle in two business days, unless the parties to that
trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish
to trade notes on any date prior to two business days before
delivery will be required to specify an alternate settlement cycle
at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement and
should consult their own advisors.
Supplemental Information About the Form of the Notes
The notes will initially be represented by a type of global
security that we refer to as a master note. A master note
represents multiple securities that may be issued at different
times and that may have different terms. The trustee and/or
paying agent will, in accordance with instructions from us, make
appropriate entries or notations in its records relating to the
master note representing the notes to indicate that the master note
evidences the notes.
Validity of the Notes and the Guarantee
In the opinion of Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, as special
products counsel to JPMorgan Financial and JPMorgan Chase &
Co., when the notes offered by this pricing supplement have been
issued by JPMorgan Financial pursuant to the indenture, the trustee
and/or paying agent has made, in accordance with the instructions
from JPMorgan Financial, the appropriate entries or notations in
its records relating to the master global note that represents such
notes (the “master note”), and such notes have been delivered
against payment as contemplated herein, such notes will be valid
and binding obligations of JPMorgan Financial and the related
guarantee will constitute a valid and binding obligation of
JPMorgan Chase & Co., enforceable in accordance with their
terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar
laws affecting creditors’ rights generally, concepts of
reasonableness and equitable principles of general applicability
(including, without limitation, concepts of good faith, fair
dealing and the lack of bad faith), provided that such
counsel expresses no opinion as to (i) the effect of fraudulent
conveyance, fraudulent transfer or similar provision of applicable
law on the conclusions expressed above or (ii) any provision of the
indenture that purports to avoid the effect of fraudulent
conveyance, fraudulent transfer or similar provision of applicable
law by limiting the amount of JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s obligation
under the related guarantee. This opinion is given as of the
date hereof and is limited to the laws of the State of New York,
the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and the
Delaware Limited Liability Company Act. In addition, this
opinion is subject to customary assumptions about the trustee’s
authorization, execution and delivery of the indenture and its
authentication of the master note and the validity, binding nature
and enforceability of the indenture with respect to the trustee,
all as stated in the letter of such counsel dated May 6, 2022,
which was filed as an exhibit to a Current Report on Form 8-K by
JPMorgan Chase & Co. on May 6, 2022.
