Review Notes Linked to the Common Shares of KeyCorp due June 15, 2016
|
General
· | | The notes are designed for investors
who seek early exit prior to maturity at a premium if, (i) with respect to any Review Date (other than the final Review Date),
the closing price of one share of the common shares of KeyCorp on that Review Date is at or above the Call Level or (ii) with
respect to the final Review Date, the Final Stock Price is at or above the Call Level. If the notes are not automatically called
and the Final Stock Price is less than the Initial Stock Price by more than the Contingent Buffer Amount of 15%, investors will
lose more than 15% of their principal amount at maturity and may lose all of their principal amount at maturity. |
· | | Investors in the notes should
be willing to accept this risk of loss and be willing to forgo interest and dividend payments, in exchange for the opportunity
to receive a premium payment if the notes are automatically called. |
· | | The earliest date on which an
automatic call may be initiated is September 10, 2015†. |
· | | The notes are unsecured and
unsubordinated obligations of JPMorgan Chase & Co. Any payment on the notes is subject to the credit risk of JPMorgan Chase
& Co. |
· | | Minimum denominations of $10,000
and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof |

of your notes at maturity.
If the notes are not automatically
called and the Final Stock Price is less than the Initial Stock Price by more than 15%, you will lose 1% of the principal
amount of your notes for every 1% that the Final Stock Price is less than the Initial Stock Price. Under these circumstances,
your payment at maturity per $1,000 principal amount note will be calculated as follows:
$1,000
+ ($1,000 × Stock Return)

Hypothetical
Examples of Amounts Payable upon Automatic Call or at Maturity
The following
table illustrates the hypothetical simple total return (i.e., not compounded) on the notes that could be realized on the
applicable Review Date for a range of movements in the Reference Stock as shown under the column “Stock Appreciation/Depreciation
at Review Date.” The following table assumes a hypothetical Initial Stock Price of $15 and a hypothetical Call Level of
$15 (equal to 100% of the hypothetical Initial Stock Price) on each of the Review Dates. The table reflects that the call premiums
used to calculate the call premium amount applicable to the first, second, third and final Review Dates are 3.375%, 6.750%, 10.125%
and 13.500%, respectively, regardless of the appreciation of the Reference Stock, which may be significant. There will be only
one payment on the notes whether called or at maturity. An entry of “N/A” indicates that the notes would not be called
on the applicable Review Date and no payment would be made on the applicable Call Settlement Date. The hypothetical returns set
forth below are for illustrative purposes only and may not be the actual total returns applicable to a purchaser of the notes.

The following
examples illustrate how the payment on the notes in different hypothetical scenarios is calculated.
Example
1: The price of one share of the Reference Stock increases from the Initial Stock Price of $15 to a closing price of $16.50 on
the first Review Date. Because the closing price of one share of the Reference Stock on the first Review Date of $16.50 is
greater than the corresponding Call Level of $15, the notes are automatically called, and the investor receives a single payment
of $1,033.75 per $1,000 principal amount note on the first Call Settlement Date.
Example
2: The price of one share of the Reference Stock decreases from the Initial Stock Price of $15 to a closing price of $9 on the
first Review Date, $10.50 on the second Review Date and $7.50
on the third Review Date and to a Final Stock Price of $12.75. Because (a) the closing price of one share of the Reference
Stock on each of the Review Dates prior to the final Review Date ($9, $10.50 and $7.50) is less than the corresponding Call Level
of $15 and (b) the Final Stock Price of $12.75 is less than the corresponding Call Level of $15 and has not declined by more than
the Contingent Buffer Amount of 15% from the Initial Stock Price, the notes are not automatically called and the payment at maturity
is the principal amount of $1,000 per $1,000 principal amount note.
Example
3: The price of one share of the Reference Stock decreases from the Initial Stock Price of $15 to a closing price of $12.75 on
the first Review Date, $10.50 on the second Review Date and $9 on the third Review Date and to a Final Stock Price of $7.50.
Because (a) the closing price of one share of the Reference Stock on each of the Review Dates prior to the final Review Date ($12.75,
$10.50 and $9) is less than the corresponding Call Level of $15, and (b) the Final Stock Price of $7.50 is less than the corresponding
Call Level of $15 and is less than the Initial Stock Price by more than the Contingent Buffer Amount of 15%, the notes are not
automatically called and the investor receives a payment at maturity that is less than the principal amount for each $1,000 principal
amount note, calculated as follows:
$1,000 +
($1,000 × -50%) = $500
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 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.

Purchase Considerations
· | | APPRECIATION POTENTIAL
— If, (a) with respect to any Review Date (other than the final Review Date), the closing price of one share of the
Reference Stock is greater than or equal to the Call Level on that Review Date or, (b) with respect to the final Review Date,
the Final Stock Price is greater than or equal to the Call Level, your investment will yield a payment per $1,000 principal amount
note of $1,000 plus: (i) 3.375% × $1,000 if automatically called on the first Review Date, (ii) 6.750% × $1,000 if
automatically called on the second Review Date, (iii) 10.125% × $1,000 if automatically called on the third Review Date
or (iv) 13.500% × $1,000 if automatically called on the final Review Date. Because the notes are our unsecured and unsubordinated
obligations, payment of any amount on the notes is subject to our ability to pay our obligations as they become due. |
· | | Potential
Early Exit With Appreciation As a Result of Automatic Call Feature
— While the original term of the notes is just over one year the notes will be automatically called before maturity if,
(i) with respect to any Review Date (other than the final Review Date), the closing price of one share of the Reference Stock
on that Review Date is at or above the Call Level or, (ii) with respect to the final Review Date, the Final Stock Price is at
or above the Call Level. You will be entitled to the applicable payment corresponding to that Review Date as set forth on the
cover of this pricing supplement. |
· | | LIMITED PROTECTION AGAINST
LOSS — If the notes are not automatically called and the Final Stock Price is less than the Initial Stock Price by up
to the Contingent Buffer Amount of 15%, you will be entitled to the full repayment of your principal at maturity. If the Final
Stock Price is less than the Initial Stock Price by more than the Contingent Buffer Amount, for every 1% that the Final Stock
Price is less than the Initial Stock Price, you will lose an amount equal to 1% of the principal amount of your notes. Under these
circumstances, you will lose more than 15% of your principal amount at maturity and may lose all of your principal amount at maturity. |
· | | RETURN LINKED TO A SINGLE
REFERENCE STOCK— The return on the notes is linked to the performance of a single Reference Stock, which are the common
shares of KeyCorp. For additional information see “The Reference Stock” in this pricing supplement. |
· | | CAPITAL GAINS TAX TREATMENT — You
should review carefully the section entitled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” in the accompanying product
supplement no. 4a-I. The following discussion, when read in combination with that section, constitutes the full opinion of our
special tax counsel, Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, regarding the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of owning and
disposing of notes.
Based on current market conditions, in the opinion of our special tax counsel it is reasonable to
treat the notes as “open transactions” that are not debt instruments for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as more
fully described in “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences — Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders — Notes
Treated as Open Transactions That Are Not Debt Instruments” in the accompanying product supplement no. 4a-I. Assuming this
treatment is respected, the gain or loss on your notes should be treated as short-term capital gain or loss unless you hold your
notes for more than a year, in which case the gain or loss should be long-term capital gain or loss. However, the IRS or a court
may not respect this treatment, in which case the timing and character of any income or loss on the notes could be materially
and adversely affected. In addition, in 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. The notice focuses in particular on whether
to require investors in 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. investors 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 and impose a notional 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. 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.
Withholding under legislation commonly referred to as “FATCA” may apply to amounts treated
as interest paid with respect to the notes, if they are recharacterized as debt instruments. You should consult your tax adviser
regarding the potential application of FATCA to the notes. |

Risk Considerations
An investment
in the notes involves significant risks. Investing in the notes is not equivalent to investing directly in the Reference Stock.
These risks are explained in more detail in the “Risk Factors” section of the accompanying product supplement no.
4a-I.
· | | YOUR INVESTMENT IN THE
NOTES MAY RESULT IN A LOSS — The notes do not guarantee any return of principal. If the notes are not automatically
called, the return on the notes at maturity is linked to the performance of the Reference Stock and will depend on whether, and
the extent to which, the Stock Return is positive or negative. If the Final Stock Price is less than the Initial Stock Price by
more than the Contingent Buffer Amount of 15%, the benefit provided by the Contingent Buffer Amount will terminate and for every
1% that the Final Stock Price is less than the Initial Stock Price, you will lose an amount equal to 1% of the principal amount
of your notes. Under these circumstances, you will lose more than 15% of your principal amount at maturity and may lose all of
your principal amount at maturity. |
· | | CREDIT RISK OF JPMORGAN
CHASE & CO. — The notes are subject to the credit risk of JPMorgan Chase & Co. and our credit ratings and credit
spreads may adversely affect the market value of the notes. Investors are dependent on JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s ability
to pay all amounts due on the notes. Any actual or potential change in our creditworthiness or credit spreads, as determined by
the market for taking our credit risk, is likely to adversely affect the value of the notes. If we 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. |
· | | POTENTIAL CONFLICTS
— We and our affiliates play a variety of roles in connection with the issuance of the notes, including acting as calculation
agent and as an agent of the offering of the notes, hedging our obligations under the notes and making the assumptions used to
determine the pricing of the notes and the estimated value of the notes when the terms of the notes are set, which we refer to
as JPMS’s estimated value. In performing these duties, our economic interests and the economic interests of the calculation
agent and other affiliates of ours are potentially adverse to your interests as an investor in the notes. In addition, our business
activities, including hedging and trading activities, could cause our economic interests to be adverse to yours and could adversely
affect any payment on the notes and the value of 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
no. 4a-I for additional information about these risks. |
We and/or our affiliates may also currently or from time to time engage
in business with KeyCorp, including extending loans to, or making equity investments in, KeyCorp or providing advisory services
to KeyCorp. In addition, one or more of our affiliates may publish research reports or otherwise express opinions with respect
to KeyCorp, and these reports may or may not recommend that investors buy or hold the Reference Stock. As a prospective purchaser
of the notes, you should undertake an independent investigation of the Reference Stock issuer that in your judgment is appropriate
to make an informed decision with respect to an investment in the notes.
· | | LIMITED RETURN ON THE NOTES
— Your potential gain on the notes will be limited to the call premium applicable to the Review Dates, as set forth
on the cover of this pricing supplement, regardless of the appreciation in the Reference Stock, which may be significant. Because
the closing price of one share of the Reference Stock at various times during the term of the notes could be higher than on the
Review Dates, you may receive a lower payment if automatically called or at maturity, as the case may be, than you would have
if you had invested directly in the Reference Stock. |
· | | REINVESTMENT RISK —
If your notes are automatically called early, the term of the notes may be reduced to as short as approximately three months.
There is no guarantee that you would be able to reinvest the proceeds from an investment in the notes at a comparable return for
a similar level of risk in the event the notes are automatically called prior to the Maturity Date. |
· | | JPMS’S ESTIMATED
VALUE OF THE NOTES IS LOWER THAN THE ORIGINAL ISSUE PRICE (PRICE TO PUBLIC) OF THE NOTES — JPMS’s estimated value
is only an estimate using several factors. The original issue price of the notes exceeds JPMS’s estimated value 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 “JPMS’s
Estimated Value of the Notes” in this pricing supplement. |
· | | JPMS’S ESTIMATED
VALUE DOES NOT REPRESENT FUTURE VALUES OF THE NOTES AND MAY DIFFER FROM OTHERS’ ESTIMATES — JPMS’s estimated
value of the notes is determined by reference to JPMS’s internal pricing models when the terms of the notes are set. This
estimated value is based on market conditions and other relevant factors existing at that time and JPMS’s assumptions about
market parameters, which can include volatility, dividend rates, interest rates and other factors. Different pricing models and
assumptions could provide valuations for notes that are greater than or less than JPMS’s estimated value. 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 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. See “JPMS’s Estimated Value of the Notes” in this pricing supplement. |
· | | JPMS’S ESTIMATED
VALUE IS NOT DETERMINED BY REFERENCE TO CREDIT SPREADS FOR OUR CONVENTIONAL FIXED-RATE DEBT — The internal funding rate
used in the determination of JPMS’s estimated value generally represents a discount from the credit spreads for our conventional
fixed-rate debt. The discount is based on, among other things, our 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 our conventional fixed-rate
debt. |

If
JPMS were to use the interest rate implied by our conventional fixed-rate credit spreads, we would expect the economic terms of
the notes to be more favorable to you. Consequently, our use of an internal funding rate would have an adverse effect on the terms
of the notes and any secondary market prices of the notes. See “JPMS’s 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 JPMS’S 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. These costs can include projected hedging profits,
if any, and, in some circumstances, estimated hedging costs and our secondary market credit spreads for structured debt issuances.
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 secondary market credit spreads for structured debt issuances and, also, because secondary market prices (a) exclude
selling commissions and (b) may exclude 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 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. See the immediately following risk consideration for information about additional factors
that will impact any secondary market prices of the 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. See “— Lack of Liquidity” below. |
· | | 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 price of one share of the Reference Stock
, including: |
· | | any actual or potential change
in our creditworthiness or credit spreads; |
· | | customary bid-ask spreads
for similarly sized trades; |
· | | secondary market credit spreads
for structured debt issuances; |
· | | the actual and expected volatility
in the price of the Reference Stock; |
· | | the time to maturity of the
notes; |
· | | the likelihood of an automatic
call being triggered; |
· | | the dividend rate on the Reference
Stock; |
· | | interest and yield rates in
the market generally; |
· | | the occurrence of certain
events affecting the issuer of the Reference Stock that may or may not require an adjustment to the Stock Adjustment Factor, including
a merger or acquisition; and |
· | | a variety of other economic,
financial, political, regulatory and judicial events. |
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.
· | | NO OWNERSHIP OR DIVIDEND
RIGHTS IN THE REFERENCE STOCK — As a holder of the notes, you will not have any ownership interest or rights in the
Reference Stock, such as voting rights or dividend payments. In addition, the issuer of the Reference Stock will not have any
obligation to consider your interests as a holder of the notes in taking any corporate action that might affect the value of the
Reference Stock and the notes. |
· | | NO AFFILIATION WITH THE
REFERENCE STOCK ISSUER — We are not affiliated with the issuer of the Reference Stock. We have not independently verified
any of the information about the Reference Stock issuer contained in this pricing supplement. You should undertake your own investigation
into the Reference Stock and its issuer. We are not responsible for the Reference Stock issuer’s public disclosure of information,
whether contained in SEC filings or otherwise. |
· | | SINGLE STOCK RISK —
The price of the Reference Stock can fall sharply due to factors specific to the Reference Stock and its issuer, such as stock
price volatility, earnings, financial conditions, corporate, industry and regulatory developments, management changes and decisions
and other events, as well as general market factors, such as general stock market volatility and levels, interest rates and economic
and political conditions. |
· | | NO INTEREST PAYMENTS
— As a holder of the notes, you will not receive any interest payments. |
· | | VOLATILITY RISK —
Greater expected volatility with respect to the Reference Stock indicates a greater likelihood as of the Pricing Date that the
closing price of one share of the Reference stock or the Final Stock Price, as applicable, could be below the Call Level or that
the Final Stock Price could be below the Initial Stock |

Price
by more than the Contingent Buffer Amount. The Reference Stock’s volatility, however, can change significantly over the
term of the notes. The price of one share of the Reference Stock could fall sharply between the Pricing Date and the Ending Averaging
Dates, which could result in a significant loss of principal.
· | | LACK OF LIQUIDITY —
The notes will not be listed on any securities exchange. JPMS intends to offer to purchase the notes in the secondary market but
is not required to do so. Even if there is a secondary market, it may not provide enough liquidity to allow you to trade or sell
the notes easily. Because other dealers are not likely to make a 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 JPMS is willing to buy the notes. |
· | | THE ANTI-DILUTION PROTECTION
FOR THE REFERENCE STOCK IS LIMITED AND MAY BE DISCRETIONARY — The calculation agent will make adjustments to the Stock
Adjustment Factor for certain corporate events affecting the Reference Stock. However, the calculation agent will not make an
adjustment in response to all events that could affect the Reference Stock. If an event occurs that does not require the calculation
agent to make an adjustment, the value of the notes may be materially and adversely affected. You should also be aware that the
calculation agent may make adjustments in response to events that are not described in the accompanying product supplement to
account for any diluting or concentrative effect, but the calculation agent is under no obligation to do so or to consider your
interests as a holder of the notes in making these determinations. |

JPMS’s
Estimated Value of the Notes
JPMS’s
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 our internal funding
rate for structured debt described below, and (2) the derivative or derivatives underlying the economic terms of the notes. JPMS’s
estimated value 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 JPMS’s estimated value generally represents
a discount from the credit spreads for our conventional fixed-rate debt. For additional information, see “Selected
Risk Considerations — JPMS’s Estimated Value Is Not Determined by Reference to Credit Spreads for Our Conventional
Fixed-Rate Debt.” The value of the derivative or derivatives underlying the economic terms of the notes is derived from
JPMS’s internal pricing models. 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, JPMS’s
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. See “Selected Risk Considerations — JPMS’s Estimated Value Does Not Represent
Future Values of the Notes and May Differ from Others’ Estimates.”

JPMS’s
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. We or one or more of our affiliates will retain
any profits realized in hedging our obligations under the notes. See “Selected Risk Considerations — JPMS’s
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 “Selected Risk Considerations — Secondary
Market Prices of the Notes Will Be Impacted by Many Economic and Market Factors” in this pricing 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 that 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 JPMS. See “Selected Risk Considerations
— The Value of the Notes as Published by JPMS (and Which May Be Reflected on Customer Account Statements) May Be Higher
Than JPMS’s Then-Current Estimated Value of the Notes for a Limited Time Period.”
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 Examples of Amounts Payable upon Automatic Call or at Maturity” in this pricing supplement for an
illustration of the risk-return profile of the notes and “The Reference Stock” 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 JPMS’s 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.
Validity
of the Notes
In the opinion
of Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, as our special products counsel, when the notes offered by this pricing supplement have been
executed and issued by us and authenticated by the trustee pursuant to the indenture, and delivered against payment as contemplated
herein, such notes will be our valid and binding obligations, 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 the effect of fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent transfer or similar
provision of applicable law on the conclusions expressed above. This opinion is given as of the date hereof and is limited to
the federal laws of the United States of America, the laws of the State of New York and the General Corporation Law of the State
of Delaware. 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 notes 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 November 7, 2014, which was filed as an exhibit
to the Registration Statement on Form S-3 by us on November 7, 2014.
