OÅering Circular
JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
(incorporated in the State of Delaware, United States of America)
U.S.$15,000,000,000
Euro Medium Term Note Programme
Under the Euro Medium Term Note Programme described in this OÅering Circular (the ""Programme''),
JPMorgan Chase & Co. (""JPMorgan Chase'' or the ""Issuer''), subject to compliance with all relevant laws,
regulations and directives, may from time to time issue debt securities (the ""Notes''). The aggregate principal
amount of Notes issued under the Programme may be up to U.S.$15,000,000,000 (or the equivalent in other
currencies) outstanding at any one time as of the date hereof. This OÅering Circular replaces the OÅering Circular
dated April 7, 2004 and increases the aggregate principal amount of Notes that may be issued under the
Programme to U.S.$15,000,000,000 from U.S.$5,000,000,000.
Application has been made to list the Notes issued under the Programme on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange. Notice
of the aggregate nominal amount of Notes, interest (if any) payable in respect of Notes, the issue price of Notes and any
other terms and conditions not contained herein that are applicable to each Tranche (as defined on page 7) of Notes
will be set forth in a pricing supplement (the ""Pricing Supplement'') that will be delivered to the Luxembourg Stock
Exchange before the date of issue of such Notes. The Programme provides that Notes may be listed by such further
listing authorities or listed or admitted to trading and/or quotation on such other or further stock exchanges as may be
agreed between the Issuer and the relevant Dealer in relation to each issue. The Issuer may also issue unlisted Notes.
The Notes have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the ""Securities Act''), and may include Notes in bearer form that are subject to U.S. tax law requirements.
Notes may not be oÅered, sold or delivered within the United States or to or for the account of U.S. persons
unless registered under the Securities Act or pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the
Securities Act and applicable U.S. tax law requirements are satisÑed. For a description of certain restrictions on
oÅers and sales of Notes and on distribution of this OÅering Circular, see ""Subscription and Sale''.
For a discussion of ""Certain Investment Considerations,'' see page 11.
Each Series (as deÑned on page 7) of Notes in bearer form will initially be represented on issue by a temporary
global Note in bearer form (each, a ""temporary Global Note''). Notes in registered form will be represented by
registered certiÑcates (each a ""CertiÑcate''), one CertiÑcate being issued in respect of each Noteholder's entire
holding of Registered Notes of one Series. The temporary Global Notes and CertiÑcates may be deposited on the
issue date with a common depositary on behalf of Euroclear Bank S.A./N.V. as operator of the Euroclear System
(""Euroclear'') and Clearstream Banking, soci et e anonyme (""Clearstream, Luxembourg''), as further described
herein. BeneÑcial interests in a temporary Global Note will be exchangeable for either (i) a permanent global Note
in bearer form (a ""Permanent Global Note'') or (ii) deÑnitive Notes in bearer form (""Bearer Notes''), in each
case not earlier than 40 days after the issue date upon certiÑcation of non-U.S. beneÑcial ownership. The
provisions governing the exchange of interests in Global Notes for other Global Notes and deÑnitive Notes are
described in ""Summary of Provisions Relating to the Notes While in Global Form''.
This OÅering Circular may be used only for a period of one year from the date hereof.
The Notes are not savings accounts, deposits or other obligations of any bank or non-bank subsidiary of
JPMorgan Chase and are not insured by the United States Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Bank
Insurance Fund or any other governmental agency or instrumentality.

Reconventioning and/or
third stage of the EMU, be redenominated into euro may, following the

and/or consolidation with other Notes then denominated in euro.
Denomination:
Other than as may be speciÑed in the relevant Pricing Supplement,
Notes will have a denomination of at least 41,000 (or its equivalent in
other currencies), provided that (i) the minimum denomination of
Bearer Notes and Exchangeable Bearer Notes with maturities of
183 days or less will be not less than U.S.$500,000 (or its equivalent in
other currencies) and such Bearer Notes will contain special certiÑcation
by the holders of their connection with the United States and (ii) unless

ing Notes denominated in sterling) in respect of which the issue
proceeds are received by the Issuer in the United Kingdom and which
have a maturity of less than one year (A) have a minimum redemption
value of 100,000 (or its equivalent in other currencies) and be issued
only to (1) persons whose ordinary activities involve them in acquiring,
holding, managing or disposing of investments (as principal or agent) for
the purposes of their businesses or (2) persons who it is reasonable to
expect will acquire, hold, manage or dispose of investments (as principal
or agent) for the purposes of their businesses or (B) be issued in other
circumstances which do not constitute a contravention of section 19 of
the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (the ""FSMA'') by the
Issuer.
Form of Notes:
The Notes may be issued in bearer form only (""Bearer Notes''), in
bearer form exchangeable for Registered Notes (""Exchangeable Bearer
Notes''), or in registered form only (""Registered Notes''). Each Tranche
of Bearer Notes or Exchangeable Bearer Notes will initially be repre-
sented by one or more temporary Global Notes. Registered Notes will be
represented by CertiÑcates, one CertiÑcate being issued in respect of
each Noteholder's entire holding of Registered Notes of one Series.
CertiÑcates representing Registered Notes that are registered in the
name of a nominee for one or more clearing systems are referred to as
""Global CertiÑcates''. Global Notes and CertiÑcates may be deposited
on the relevant issue date with a common depositary for Euroclear and
Clearstream and/or any other agreed clearance system. Temporary
Global Notes will be exchangeable, only in the manner and upon
compliance with the procedures described herein, (i) for permanent
Global Notes or (ii) for deÑnitive Notes, in each case not earlier than
40 days after the Issue Date, upon certiÑcation of non-U.S. beneÑcial
ownership. In the case of Bearer Notes and Exchangeable Bearer Notes
that have not been exchanged with an original maturity of more than
183 days, the applicable Permanent Global Note may be exchanged, in
whole but not in part, for deÑnitive Bearer Notes with coupons attached.
No interest will be payable in respect of a temporary Global Note except
as described under ""Summary of Provisions Relating to the Notes While
in Global Form''. ""DeÑnitive Notes'' means, in relation to any Global
Note, the deÑnitive Bearer Notes for which such Global Note may be
exchanged (if appropriate, having attached to them all Coupons and
Receipts in respect of interest or Installment Amounts that have not
already been paid on the Global Note and a Talon).
7


Method of Issue:
The Notes will be issued on a syndicated or non-syndicated basis. The
Notes will be issued in series (each a ""Series''), having one or more
issue dates and on terms otherwise identical (or identical other than in
respect of the Ñrst payment of interest), the Notes of each Series being
intended to be interchangeable with all other Notes of that Series. Each
Series may be issued in tranches (each a ""Tranche''), on the same or
diÅerent issue dates. The speciÑc terms of each Tranche (which will be
supplemented, where necessary, with supplemental terms and conditions
and, save in respect of the issue date, issue price, Ñrst payment of interest
and principal amount of the Tranche, will be identical to the terms of
other Tranches of the same Series) will be set out in a Pricing
Supplement to this OÅering Circular.
Clearing Systems:
Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg and, in relation to any Tranche,
such other clearing system as may be agreed between the Issuer, the
Agent, and the relevant Dealer.
Initial Delivery of Notes:
On or before the issue date for each Tranche, the temporary Global Note
representing Bearer Notes or Exchangeable Bearer Notes or the Global
CertiÑcate representing Registered Notes may be deposited with a
common depositary for Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg. Global
Notes or CertiÑcates may also be deposited with any other clearing
system or may be delivered outside any clearing system provided that the
method of such delivery has been agreed in advance by the Issuer, the
Agent and the relevant Dealer. Registered Notes that are to be credited
to one or more clearing systems on issue will be registered in the name of
nominees or a common nominee for such clearing systems.
Fixed Rate Notes:
Fixed interest will be payable in arrear on the date or dates in each year
speciÑed in the relevant Pricing Supplement.
Floating Rate Notes:
Floating Rate Notes will bear interest set separately for each Series by
reference to EURIBOR, EURO-LIBOR, LIBOR, LIBID or LIMEAN
(or such other benchmark as may be speciÑed in the relevant Pricing
Supplement) as adjusted for any applicable margin. Interest periods will
be speciÑed in the relevant Pricing Supplement.
Zero Coupon Notes:
Zero Coupon Notes may be issued at their principal amount or at a
discount to it and will not bear interest except in the case of late payment
as described in ""Terms and Conditions of the Notes Ì Interest''.
Variable Coupon Amount Notes:
The Pricing Supplement issued in respect of each issue of variable
coupon amount Notes will specify the basis for calculating the amounts
of interest payable, which may be by reference to a stock index or
formula or as otherwise provided in the relevant Pricing Supplement.
Interest Periods and Interest
Rates:
The length of the interest periods for the Notes and the applicable
interest rate or its method of calculation may diÅer from time to time or
be constant for any Series. Notes may have a maximum interest rate, a
minimum interest rate, or both. The use of interest accrual periods
permits the Notes to bear interest at diÅerent rates in the same interest
period. All such information will be set out in the relevant Pricing
Supplement.
Variable Redemption Amount
Notes:
The Pricing Supplement issued in respect of each issue of variable
redemption amount Notes will specify the basis for calculating the
redemption amounts payable, which may be by reference to a stock index
or formula or as otherwise provided in the relevant Pricing Supplement.
Other Notes:
Terms applicable to high interest Notes, low interest Notes, step-up
Notes, step-down Notes, dual currency Notes, reverse dual currency
Notes, optional dual currency Notes, partly-paid Notes and any other
type of Note that the Issuer and any Dealer or Dealers may agree to
8


issue under the Programme will be set out in the relevant Pricing
Supplement.
Structured Note Risks:
The following paragraph does not describe all the risks of an investment
in structured Notes. Prospective purchasers should consult their own
Ñnancial, legal, tax and other professional advisors about risks associ-
ated with investment in a particular series of Notes and the suitability of
investing in such Notes in light of the particular circumstances of such
prospective purchaser.
An investment in Notes, the premium and/or the interest on or principal
of which is determined by reference to one or more values of currencies,
commodities, interest rates, stock indices or other indices or formulae,
either directly or inversely, may entail signiÑcant risks not associated
with similar investments in a conventional debt security, including the
risks that the resulting interest rate will be less than that payable on a
conventional debt security at the same time, and/or that an investor
could lose all or a substantial portion of the principal of its Notes.
Neither the current nor the historical value of the relevant currencies,
commodities, interest rates, stock indices or other indices or formulae
should be taken as an indication of future performance of such curren-
cies, commodities, interest rates, stock indices or other indices or
formulae during the term of any Note. See ""Certain Investment
Considerations''.
Optional Redemption:
The Pricing Supplement issued in respect of each issue of Notes will
state whether such Notes may be redeemed prior to their stated maturity
at the option of the Issuer (either in whole or in part) and/or the holders
and, if so, the terms applicable to such redemption.
Early Redemption:
Except as provided in ""Optional Redemption'' above, Notes will be
redeemable at the option of the Issuer prior to maturity only for tax
reasons. See ""Terms and Conditions of the Notes Ì Redemption,
Purchase and Options''.
Redemption by Instalments:
The Pricing Supplement issued in respect of each issue of Notes that are
redeemable in two or more instalments will set out the dates on which,
and the amounts in which, such Notes may be redeemed.
Withholding Tax:
All payments with respect to the Notes will be made free and clear of
withholding or deduction for or on account of any taxes or other charges
imposed by any governmental authority or agency in the United States,
except as provided in ""Terms and Conditions of the Notes Ì Taxation''.
The relevant Pricing Supplement will state if any payments made with
respect to Dual Currency Notes or Indexed Notes are subject to such
deduction or withholding. See ""Taxation of the Notes Ì United States
Taxation''.
Status of Notes:
The Senior Notes will constitute unsubordinated and unsecured obliga-
tions of the Issuer, and the Subordinated Notes will constitute subordi-
nated and unsecured obligations of the Issuer, all as described in ""Terms
and Conditions of the Notes Ì Status of the Notes'' and ""Terms and
Conditions of the Notes Ì Subordination''. No series of the Issuer's
subordinated debt securities (except for any junior subordinated indebt-
edness issued in connection with the issuance of securities by the Issuer's
capital trust subsidiaries) is subordinated to any other series of subordi-
nated debt securities or to any other subordinated indebtedness of
JPMorgan Chase referred to herein. However, due to the subordination
provisions of the various series of subordinated indebtedness issued by
the Issuer and its predecessor institutions, and, in particular the fact that
some, but not all, of the Issuer's outstanding subordinated indebtedness
is subordinated in some circumstances to Derivative Obligations (or to
