	PURPOSE




The purposes of the Employee Stock Purchase Plan of JPMorgan Chase & Co. are (i) to serve as an employment incentive and (ii) to encourage stock ownership by Eligible Employees to align their long-term financial interests with those of the Company’s stockholders.

	EFFECTIVE DATE AND DURATION OF PLAN




The Plan became effective as of January 1, 2002, and was approved by stockholders on May 15, 2001.  The Plan is hereby amended and restated effective as of January 1, 2019 to (i) reflect that the Plan is no longer intended to qualify as an “employee stock purchase plan” under Section 423 of the Code and (ii) revise the Plan’s eligibility provisions.  The Plan shall have an indefinite duration.

	(a)
	  The stock subject to purchase pursuant to Offers shall be shares of Common Stock that have been authorized but unissued, or have been previously issued and reacquired by the Company, or both.  Subject to adjustment in accordance with the provisions of Section 16, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that may be purchased by Eligible Employees pursuant to Offers under the Plan shall not exceed 30 million shares.

	(b)
	  No Eligible Employee may purchase shares of Common Stock pursuant to any Offer or Offers, including those made under any qualified employee stock purchase plan of the Company and/or its Subsidiaries, that would permit such Eligible Employee to purchase shares of Common Stock with an aggregate Fair Market Value in excess of twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000) (determined at the date of grant designated in the Offer) for each calendar year in which any such Offer with such Eligible Employee is outstanding at any time.  Any Offer which causes such total to exceed such limit shall be null and void to the extent of such excess.

	9.
	ELECTION TO PARTICIPATE

	10.
	PAYROLL DEDUCTIONS




		
	(a)
	  By authorizing payroll deductions by a date specified by the Committee, an Eligible Employee will have accepted the terms and conditions of the Offer and will have authorized the Company or the Designated Subsidiary, to deduct per pay period, as specified by the Eligible Employee, an amount not more than nor less than the minimum set forth in an Offer from his or her Compensation commencing on the date indicated in such Offer.  Such amount shall be credited to a Plan account.  Subject to rules and administrative guidelines as the Committee may establish from time to time, an Eligible Employee may decrease the amount of his or her payroll deductions during the Offering Period.


(b)  The Committee may specify that the funds in the Eligible Employee’s Plan account be credited with interest.


		
	11.
	PAYMENT OF PURCHASE PRICE




Shares of Common Stock purchased under the Plan shall be paid for with the amount held in the Plan account on behalf of the Eligible Employee, including accrued interest (if any).  If specified by the Committee in the Offer, an Eligible Employee may (i) provide additional funds, if necessary, to purchase the full number of shares of Common Stock specified by the Offer or (ii) use shares of Common Stock owned by the Eligible Employee for at least six (6) months to purchase the full number of shares of Common Stock specified by the Offer.
		
	12.
	DATE OF PURCHASE




Each Offer shall provide that the shares of Common Stock to be purchased thereunder will be purchased on the Closing Date provided for in the Offer.  If the Committee so determines, Offers also may permit the Eligible Employee to purchase shares of Common Stock thereunder at such earlier dates and on such terms and conditions as may be determined by the Committee, subject to the requirements of Section 409A of the Code.
		
	13.
	EMPLOYEE’S PURCHASE DIRECTIONS




		
	(a)
	  On the Closing Date, each Eligible Employee will purchase shares of Common Stock, and the amount held in the Plan account on behalf of the Eligible Employee, including any accrued interest, shall be applied to the purchase price without further authorization, but only if the Fair Market Value on the Closing Date is equal to or higher than the purchase price.  If the Fair Market Value on the Closing Date is lower than the purchase price, the amount held in the Plan account on behalf of the Eligible Employee, including any accrued interest, will, as the Committee may specify, be returned to such Eligible Employee or shall be retained to be used in connection with a new Offer.


(b)  An Eligible Employee may purchase fewer than all of the shares covered by an Offer in the manner specified by the Committee.


		
	14.
	TERMINATION OF OFFER




An Eligible Employee may, at any time on or before the Closing Date, terminate an Offer in its entirety in a manner specified by the Committee.  Upon such termination, the Company shall cause the amount held on behalf of such Eligible Employee in the Plan account, including any accrued interest, to be paid to such Eligible Employee and further payroll deductions shall cease within a reasonable period thereafter.
		
	15.
	TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT




The Committee shall determine the terms, conditions, restrictions and limitations applicable to an Offer in the event of an Eligible Employee’s retirement, death, disability, leave of absence or any other termination of employment.
		
	16.
	RECAPITALIZATION




The aggregate number, kind and class of shares of Common Stock that may be purchased by Eligible Employees pursuant to Offers, the number, kind and class of shares covered by each Offer, and the purchase price per share as established in accordance with each such Offer all may be equitably adjusted, as determined by the Committee, due to any changes in the Common Stock resulting from any stock split, combination or exchange of equity securities, merger, consolidation, re-











capitalization, reorganization, divestiture or other distribution (other than ordinary cash dividends) of assets to stockholders, any other subdivision or consolidation of shares or other capital adjustment, or the payment of a stock dividend or other increase or decrease in such shares.
		
	17.
	ASSIGNABILITY




No Offer may be assigned or transferred except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.
		
	18.
	RIGHTS AS A STOCKHOLDER




An Eligible Employee shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to shares of Common Stock covered by an Offer until the date the Eligible Employee becomes the holder of record of such shares.  No adjustment will be made for dividends or other rights for which the record date is prior to such date of purchase.
		
	19.
	COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 409A OF THE CODE




All Offers entered into and all transactions that occur under this Plan are intended to comply with all applicable requirements of Section 409A of the Code (“Section 409A”), and, with respect to persons subject to Section 16 of the 1934 Act, with the conditions of Rule 16b-3 of the 1934 Act, and shall be construed and interpreted in accordance with such intent.  To the extent an Offer is subject to Section 409A, the Offer shall be granted or exercised in a manner that will comply with Section 409A, including the final regulations and other guidance issued with respect thereto, except as otherwise determined by the Committee.  Any provision of the Plan that would cause an Offer or the exercise thereof to fail to satisfy Section 409A shall be amended to comply with Section 409A on a timely basis, which amendment may be made on a retroactive basis, in accordance with the final regulations and guidance issued under Section 409A.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall have no liability to an Eligible Employee or any other party if an Offer granted under the Plan that is intended to be exempt from or compliant with Section 409A is not so exempt or compliant or for any action taken by the Committee with respect thereto.
		
	20.
	AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION




The Committee may from time to time amend, suspend, or terminate the Plan in whole or in part or amend any and all Offers granted under the Plan to the extent permitted by law.  However, no such action of the Committee may be taken without the approval of the Board and/or the stockholders, if Board and/or stockholder approval would be required under then applicable law.
		
	21.
	TAX WITHHOLDING




Any amounts to be paid or shares to be delivered to any Eligible Employee under the Plan shall be reduced by any sums required by law to be withheld by the Company for payment of taxes, unless the Committee specifies another method of satisfying such taxes.

	GOVERNING LAW




The Plan and all Offers shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of New York.
		
	23.
