Exhibit 10.23

JPMORGAN CHASE & CO. LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN

TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF FEBRUARY 3, 2010

STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS

OPERATING COMMITTEE

	 	 	 
	Award Agreement

	 	These terms and conditions are made part of the Award Agreement dated as of February
3, 2010 (“Grant Date”) awarding Stock Appreciation Rights pursuant to the terms of
the JPMorgan Chase & Co. Long-Term Incentive Plan (“Plan”). To the extent the terms
of the Award Agreement (all references to which will include these terms and
conditions) conflict with the Plan, the Plan will govern. The Award Agreement, the
Plan and Prospectus supersede any other agreement, whether written or oral, that may
have been entered into by the Firm and you relating to this award.
	 
	 	 
	 

	 	This award was granted on the Grant Date subject to the Award Agreement. Unless
you decline by the deadline and in the manner specified in the Award Agreement, you
will have agreed to be bound by these terms and conditions, effective as of the
Grant Date. If you decline the award, it will be cancelled as of the Grant Date.

Capitalized terms that are not defined in the Award Agreement will have the same
meaning as set forth in the Plan.
	 
	 	 
	 

	 	JPMorgan Chase & Co. will be referred to throughout the Award Agreement as “JPMorgan
Chase,” and together with its subsidiaries as the “Firm.”
	 
	 	 
	Form and Purpose of Award

	 	Stock Appreciation Rights represent the right, following exercise, to receive
(without payment), a number of shares of JPMorgan Chase Common Stock, the Fair
Market Value of which, as of the date of exercise, is equal to the excess of the
Fair Market Value of one share of such Common Stock on such exercise date over the
Exercise Price, multiplied by the number of Stock Appreciation Rights being
exercised. The Firm will retain from each distribution the number of shares of
Common Stock required to satisfy tax and other withholding obligations.
	 
	 	 
	 

	 	The purpose of this award is, in part, to motivate your future performance and to
align your interests with those of the Firm and its shareholders.
	 
	 	 
	Exercisable Dates/

Expiration Date

	 	This award is intended and expected to become exercisable on the “Exercisable Dates”
set forth in your Award Agreement, provided that you are continuously employed by
the Firm from the date of grant through the relevant Exercisable Date or you meet
the requirements to allow your award to remain outstanding upon termination of
employment as described below However, the number of Stock Appreciation Rights that
first become exercisable on any Exercisable Date may be reduced (and therefore may
be forfeited) or Exercisable Dates may be deferred (but not beyond the Expiration
Date), in the event that the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) of JPMorgan Chase
determines, as part of JPMorgan Chase’s annual performance assessment process, based
on the CEO’s assessment of your performance and the performance of the Firm (which
may include more than one performance year), that you have not achieved satisfactory
progress toward priorities that have been established for you or that the Firm has
not achieved satisfactory progress toward the Firm’s priorities for which you share
responsibility as a member of the Operating Committee. Such a determination is
subject to ratification by the Compensation and Management Development Committee of
the Board of Directors of JPMorgan Chase.

 

 

	 	 	 
	 

	 	Your award will remain exercisable until the earlier of the tenth anniversary of the
Grant Date (the “Expiration Date”) or the date the award is cancelled pursuant to
this Award Agreement. Notwithstanding any provision herein, including but not
limited to those provisions governing Job Elimination, Career Eligibility, Death,
and Total Disability, no Stock Appreciation Right may be exercised after its
Expiration Date.
	 
	 	 
	Termination of Employment

	 	Except as explicitly set forth below under “Job Elimination,” “Full Career
Eligibility”, and “Death or Total Disability,” any Stock Appreciation Rights
outstanding under this award will be cancelled effective on the date your employment
with the Firm terminates for any reason.
	 
	 	 
	 

	 	Job Elimination:
	 

	 	For the one year period commencing with the date of termination of your employment
(or if longer the 90 day period commencing with the Exercisable Date occurring
during such one year period), any Stock Appreciation Right that is exercisable on
your termination date or becomes exercisable during such period may be exercised by
you in the event that:

	 	•	 	the Director Human Resources of the Firm or nominee in his/her sole
discretion determines that the Firm terminated your employment because your job was
eliminated; and
	 
	 	•	 	after you are notified that your job will be eliminated, you provide such
services as requested by the Firm in a cooperative and professional
manner; and
	 
	 	•	 	you satisfy the Release/Certifications Requirement set forth below.

	 	 	 
	 

	 	Full Career Eligibility :
	 

	 	For the two year period commencing with the date of termination of your employment
(or if longer the 90 day period commencing with the last Exercisable Date occurring
during such two year period), any Stock Appreciation Right that is exercisable on
your termination date or becomes exercisable during such period may be exercised by
you in the event that:

	 	•	 	you leave the Firm voluntarily, have completed at least five years of
continuous service with the Firm immediately preceding your termination date, and
the sum of your age and Recognized Service (as defined below) on your date of
termination equals or exceeds 60, and
	 
	 	•	 	you provide at least 90 days advance written notice to the Firm of your
intention to voluntarily terminate your employment under this provision, during
which notice period you provide such services as requested by the Firm in a
cooperative and professional manner and you do not perform any services for any
other employer, and
	 
	 	•	 	for the exercise period, you do not (i) perform services in any capacity
(including self-employment) for a Financial Services Company (as defined below) or
(ii) work in your profession (whether or not for a Financial Services Company);
provided that you may work for a government, education or Not-for-Profit
Organization (as defined below), and
	 
	 	•	 	you satisfy the Release/Certification Requirements set forth below.

	 	 	 
	 

	 	After receipt of such advance written notice, the Firm may choose to have you
continue to provide services during the 90-day period or shorten the length of the
90-day notice period at the Firm’s discretion, but to a date no earlier than the
date you would otherwise meet the age and service requirements.
	 
	 	 
	 

	 	Additional advance notice requirements may apply in certain business units (or
equivalent organizational unit or department). (See “Special Notice Period” below.) 
	 
	 	 
	 

	 	You must notify JPMorgan Chase in advance in writing if you are to perform services
for any party or if you are self-employed following the date of your termination of
employment. Failure to provide such notification could impact your right to
exercise.
	 
	 	 
	 

	 	Death or Total Disability:
	 

	 	If you die while employed by the Firm, your designated beneficiary on file with the
Human Resources Department (or if no beneficiary is on file or survives you, then
your estate) may exercise for a two year period measured from date of your death (i)
any Stock Appreciation Rights that were exercisable as of that date and (ii) any
Stock Appreciation Rights that would have become exercisable had you remained
employed during such 2 year period.
	 
	 	 
	 

	 	If your employment terminates as a result of your permanent and total disability as
defined in

2

 

	 	 	 
	 

	 	the JPMorgan Chase & Co. Long Term Disability Plan (or for non-U.S.
employees the equivalent local country plan), then you may exercise for a two year
period measured from the date that your employment terminate any Stock Appreciation
Rights that were exercisable as of the date of your termination. In the case of your
total disability, you must notify JPMorgan Chase in advance in writing if you are to
perform services for any party or if you are self-employed following the date of
your termination of employment.
	 
	 	 
	 

	 	Cancellation after the Two Year Period or Ninety Day Period
	 

	 	Any Stock Appreciation Rights that are not exercised within the applicable two year
period or ninety day period described above will be cancelled.
	 
	 	 
	 

	 	Release/Certification Requirements
	 

	 	You will be required to timely execute and deliver a release of claims in favor of
the Firm, having such form and terms as the Firm shall specify, to have all or any
portion of your award remain exercisable after the termination of your employment.
If you fail to return the required release within the specified deadline, your award
will be cancelled. You also must certify compliance with the above requirements
relevant to you pursuant to procedures established by the Firm in connection with an
exercise.
	 
	 	 
	 

	 	Termination for Cause
	 

	 	If your employment is terminated for Cause (as defined below), or if the Firm
determines after the termination of your employment that your employment could have
been terminated for Cause, any outstanding Stock Appreciation Rights as of your
termination date will be cancelled and you may be required to return to the Firm the
value of certain shares previously delivered to you. See “Remedies” for additional
information.
	 
	 	 
	Restriction on Disposition
of Shares Derived from an
Exercise Under this Award

	 	If you exercise any part of your award before the fifth anniversary of the Grant
Date, then you may not sell, assign, transfer, pledge or encumber the net number of
shares of Common Stock derived from such exercise until the fifth anniversary of the
Grant Date. Such shares will be held in an account with the Firm’s stock transfer
agent and will be subject to recovery by the Firm in accordance with the “Remedies”
and “Right to Set-Off” sections below. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this
restriction on disposition and transfer of shares shall not apply to your
beneficiary in the event of your death.
	 
	 	 
	Your Obligations

by the following:
	 
	 	 
	•     
Non-Solicitation of
Employees and Customers:

	 	During your employment by the Firm and for one year following the termination of
your employment (or if longer, the exercise period), you will not directly or
indirectly, whether on your own behalf or on behalf of any other party, without the
prior written consent of the Director Human Resources of JPMorgan Chase: (i)
solicit, induce or encourage any of the Firm’s then current employees to leave the
Firm or to apply for employment elsewhere; (ii) hire any employee or former employee

because his or her job was eliminated; or (iii) solicit or induce or attempt to
induce to leave the Firm, or divert or attempt to divert from doing business with
the Firm, any then current customers, suppliers or other persons or entities that
were serviced by you or whose names became known to you by virtue of your employment
with the Firm, or otherwise interfere with the relationship between the Firm and
such customers, suppliers or other persons or entities. This does not apply to
publicly known institutional customers that you service after your employment with
the Firm without the use of the Firm’s confidential or proprietary information.
	 
	 	 
	 

	 	These restrictions do not apply to authorized actions you take in the normal course
of your employment with the Firm, such as employment decisions with respect to
employees you supervise or business referrals in accordance with the Firm’s
policies.

3

 

	 	 	 
	•     Confidential 

Information:

	 	You may not, either during your employment with the Firm or thereafter, directly or
indirectly use or disclose to anyone any confidential information related to the
Firm’s business, except as explicitly permitted by the JPMorgan Chase Code of
Conduct and applicable policies or law or legal process. “Confidential information”
shall have the same meaning for the Award Agreement as it has in the JPMorgan Chase
Code of Conduct.
	 
	 	 
	•     
Non-Disparagement:

	 	You may not, either during your employment with the Firm or thereafter, make or
encourage others to make any public statement or release any information that is
intended to, or reasonably could be foreseen to, embarrass or criticize the Firm or
its employees, directors or shareholders as a group. This shall not preclude you
from reporting to the Firm’s management or directors or to the government or a
regulator conduct you believe to be in violation of the law or the Firm’s Code of
Conduct or responding truthfully to questions or requests for information to the
government, a regulator or in a court of law in connection with a legal or
regulatory investigation or proceeding.
	 
	 	 
	•     Cooperation

	 	You agree to cooperate fully with and provide full and accurate information to the
Firm and its counsel with respect to any matter (including any audit, tax
proceeding, litigation or governmental proceeding with respect to which you may have
knowledge or information), subject to reimbursement for actual, appropriate and
reasonable expenses incurred by you.
	 
	 	 
	•     Compliance with 

Award Agreement:

	 	You agree that you will provide the Firm with any information reasonably requested
to determine compliance with the Award Agreement, and you authorize the Firm to
disclose the terms of the Award Agreement to any third party who might be affected
thereby, including your prospective employer.
	 
	 	 
	•     Special Notice 

Period:

	 	If you are at or above the level of managing director, executive director or vice
president (or comparable title) of a business unit or equivalent organizational unit
or department (“business unit”) that requires as a condition of your continued
employment that you provide advance written notice (“Special Notice Period”) of your
intention to terminate your employment, then as consideration for this Award, you
shall provide the Firm advance written notice of your election to terminate your
employment as specified by such business unit. In business units that require this
Special Notice Period, the current notice period is 90 days for managing directors
(or comparable title) and above, 60 days for executive directors (or comparable
title) and 30 days for vice presidents (or comparable title). Please note that in
some cases, individuals may have specific agreements providing for longer notice
periods than those stated above. In those cases, the longer notice period shall
apply.
	 
	 	 
	 

	 	After receipt of such notice, the Firm may choose to have you continue to provide
services during the applicable Special Notice Period or may place you on a paid
leave for all or part of the applicable Special Notice Period. During the Special
Notice Period, you shall continue to devote your full time and loyalty to the Firm
by providing services in a cooperative and professional manner and not perform any
services for any other employer and shall receive your base salary and certain
benefits until your employment terminates. You and the Firm may mutually agree to
waive or modify the length of the Special Notice Period.
	 
	 	 
	 

	 	Regardless of whether the Special Notice Period applies to you, you must comply with
the 90-day advance notice period described under “Full Career Eligibility” in the
event you wish to terminate employment under the Full Career Eligibility provision.
	 
	 	 
	Remedies
	 	 
	     •     
Cancellation

	 	In addition to the cancellation of the award as provided for in “Termination of
Employment” and “Termination for Cause,” if the Firm in its sole discretion
determines that (i) you are not in compliance with any of the advance
notice/cooperation requirements or employment restrictions applicable to your
termination of employment, or (ii) you have not returned the applicable release of
claims or other documents specified above within the specified deadline, (iii) you
violated any of the provisions as set forth above in “Your Obligations;” or (iv)
Cancellation is appropriate pursuant to “Additional Award Conditions” below, all

	     •     
Recovery
	 	 
	 

	 	In addition, if you received shares under this award resulting from an exercise:

	 	•	 	during the one year prior to the violation of any of the provisions as set
forth above in “Your Obligations;” or
	 
	 	•	 	following termination of employment when you were not in compliance with the
employment restrictions then applicable to you during the exercise period;
	 
	 	•	 	prior to the termination of your employment for “Cause” as described under
“Termination for Cause,” including a later determination by the Firm that your
employment could have been terminated for Cause (in which case the one year will be
measured from your actual termination date), or
	 
	 	•	 	within one year following the applicable Exercisable Date, if the Firm
determines that recovery of the shares is appropriate pursuant to “Additional Award
Conditions” below;

	 	 	 
	 

	 	you will be required to pay the Firm an amount equal to the gain on each such
exercise less withholding taxes. Payment may be made in shares of Common Stock or
in cash, and may be deducted by the Firm from any shares that are subject to
restriction on disposition as described above.
	 
	 	 
	 

	 	You agree that this payment represents recovery of shares to which were not entitled
under this Award Agreement and is not to be construed in any manner as a penalty.
You also acknowledge that a violation or attempted violation of the obligations set
forth herein will cause immediate and irreparable damage to the Firm, and therefore
agree that the Firm shall be entitled as a matter of right to an injunction, from
any court of competent jurisdiction, restraining any violation or further violation
of such obligations; such right to an injunction, however, shall be cumulative and
in addition to whatever other remedies the Firm may have under law or equity. In
any action or proceeding by the Firm to enforce the terms and conditions of this
Award Agreement where the Firm is the prevailing party, the Firm shall be entitled
to recover from you its reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred in such
action or proceeding.
	 
	 	 
	Bonus Recoupment

	 	In consideration of the grant of this award, you agree that you are subject to the
JPMorgan Chase Bonus Recoupment Policy [link to policy], as it applies both to the
cash incentive compensation awarded to you for 2009 and to this award of Stock
Appreciation Rights.
	 
	 	 
	Additional Award Conditions

	 	Notwithstanding any terms of this Award Agreement to the contrary, JPMorgan Chase
reserves the right in its sole discretion to cancel outstanding Stock Appreciation
Rights under this award and/or to recover from you the net gain realized by you on
any exercise of Stock Appreciation Rights under this award within one year after the
applicable Exercisable Date:

	 	•	 	If you engaged in conduct detrimental to the Firm, insofar as it causes
material financial or reputational harm to the Firm or one of its business
activities.
	 
	 	•	 	If this award was based on materially inaccurate performance metrics,
whether or not you were responsible for the inaccuracy;
	 
	 	•	 	If this award was based on a material misrepresentation by you; or
	 
	 	•	 	If you failed to properly identify, raise or assess, in a timely manner and
as reasonably expected, risks and/or concerns with respect to risks material to the
Firm or its business activities.

	 	 	 
	Administrative Provisions

	 	Binding Agreement: The Award Agreement will be binding upon any successor in
interest to JPMorgan Chase, by merger or otherwise.
	 
	 	 
	 

	 	Not a Contract of Employment: Nothing contained herein constitutes a contract of
employment or continued employment. Employment is at-will and may be terminated by
either you or JPMorgan Chase for any reason at any time. This award does not confer
any right or entitlement to, nor does the award impose any obligation on the Firm to
provide, the same or any similar award in the future.
	 
	 	 
	 

	 	Exercise Procedures/Withholding Taxes: The exercise of Stock Appreciation Rights
shall be in accordance with the Firm’s procedures for exercises of such awards. The
date of exercise shall be the date when the properly completed notice of exercise is
received and accepted by the Firm or its designee in accordance with the Firm’s
procedures.

5

 

	 	 	 
	 
	 	Following each exercise, the Firm will retain from each distribution the number of
shares of Common Stock required to satisfy applicable tax obligations (including, to
the extent legally permissible, recovery by the Firm of fringe benefit taxes). If,
according to local country tax regulations, a withholding tax liability arises at a
time after the date of exercise, JPMorgan Chase may implement any procedures
necessary to ensure that the withholding obligation is fully satisfied, including,
but not limited to, restricting transferability of the shares.
	 
	 	 
	 
	 	Assignment or Transfer: Except as otherwise provided in this Award Agreement, Stock
Appreciation Rights shall not be assignable or transferable or subject to any lien,
obligation or liability. You may make a gift of unexpired, unexercised Stock
Appreciation Rights, subject to the Firm’s prior consent, to an immediate family
member or a trust (or similar vehicle) for the benefit of these immediate family
members (or beneficiaries) as defined below. JPMorgan Chase may condition its prior
consent to receipt of an agreement by you and proposed transferee containing such
terms and conditions and undertakings as JPMorgan Chase deems appropriate in its
sole and absolute discretion. No attempted transfer will be valid without the
Firm’s prior consent. “Immediate family members” include your parents,
parents-in-law, children (including adopted children), grandchildren, and siblings
or a trust exclusively for the benefit of one or more of these immediate family
members. Your spouse is an Immediate Family Member but only if Stock Appreciation
Rights are transferred to a trust (or similar vehicle) for the benefit of such
spouse, which trust includes one or more other Immediate Family Members as
beneficiaries.
	 
	 	 
	 
	 	Right to Set Off: The Firm may, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law,
retain for itself funds or securities otherwise payable to you pursuant to this
award to satisfy any obligation or debt that you owe to the Firm. Other than in the
case of forfeiture, cancellation or recovery of an award, the Firm may not retain
such funds or securities until such time as they would otherwise be distributable to
you in accordance with the Award Agreement.
	 
	 	 
	 
	 	Cancellation/Substitution: JPMorgan Chase may, in its sole discretion and for any
reason, cancel outstanding unexercised Stock Appreciation Rights and substitute an
equal number of non-qualified stock options to purchase the same number of shares of
common stock of JPMorgan Chase represented by the cancelled Stock Appreciation
Rights. Such substituted options shall have the same exercise price, Expiration
Date and other terms and conditions that were applicable to the Stock Appreciation
Rights; provided that the method of exercise and the payment of exercise price, as
well as the method of payment of withholding taxes, may be changed by JPMorgan
Chase.
	 
	 	 
	 
	 	Change in Outstanding Shares: In the event of any change in the outstanding shares
of Common Stock by reason of any stock dividend or split, recapitalization, issuance
of a new class of common stock, merger, consolidation, spin-off, combination or
exchange of shares or other similar corporate change, or any distributions to
stockholders of Common Stock other than regular cash dividends, the Committee will
make an equitable substitution or proportionate adjustment, in the number or kind of
shares of Common Stock or other securities issued or reserved for issuance pursuant
to the Plan and to any Stock Appreciation Rights (including but not to limited to
their Exercise Price) outstanding under this award for such corporate events.
	 
	 	 
	 
	 	Interpretation/Administration: The Director Human Resources or the CEO (as specified
above) has sole and complete authority to interpret and administer this Award
Agreement, including, without limitation, the power to (i) interpret the Plan and
the terms of this Award Agreement; (ii) determine the reason for termination of
employment and application of the post-employment obligations; (iii) determine
application of the post-employment obligations and cancellation and recovery
provisions, and (iv) decide all claims arising with respect to this Award; and (iv)
delegate such authority as he deems appropriate. Any determination by the Director
Human Resources shall be binding on all parties.
	 
	 	 
	 
	 	Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Firm’s determinations under the
Plan and the Award Agreements are not required to be uniform. By way of
clarification, the Firm shall be

6

 

	 	 	 
	 

	 	entitled to make non-uniform and selective
determinations and modifications under Award Agreements and the Plan.
	 
	 	 
	 

	 	This Award is intended to be exempt from the provisions of Section 409A of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Section 409A”) and shall be interpreted
accordingly. Notwithstanding anything else herein or in the Plan, no action
described herein or in the Plan shall be permitted if the Firm determines such
action would result in the imposition of additional tax under Section 409A.”
	 
	 	 
	 

	 	Amendment: The Firm by action of its Director Human Resources (or by action of its
CEO as specified above) reserves the right to amend this Award Agreement in any
manner, at any time and for any reason. This Award Agreement may not be amended
except in writing signed by the Director Human Resources JPMorgan Chase.
	 
	 	 
	 

	 	Severability: If any portion of the Award Agreement is found to be unenforceable,
any court of competent jurisdiction may reform the restrictions (e.g. as to length
of service, geographical area or scope) to the extent required to make the provision
enforceable under applicable law.

to be provided during the vesting periods and to align your interests with those of the
Firm and its shareholders.
	 
	 	 
	Dividend Equivalents

	 	If dividends are paid on Common Stock while restricted stock units under this award are
outstanding, you will be paid an amount equal to the dividend paid on one share of
Common Stock, multiplied by the number of restricted stock units outstanding to you
under this award.
	 
	 	 
	Vesting Dates

	 	This award is intended and expected to vest according to the schedule on your Award
Agreement, provided that you are continuously employed by the Firm, or you meet the
requirements for continued vesting described below, through the relevant vesting date.
However, the number of restricted stock units awarded hereunder may be reduced (and
therefore may be forfeited) or (to the extent permitted under Section 409A of the
United States Internal Revenue Code) vesting dates may be deferred, in the event that
the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) of JPMorgan Chase determines, as part of JPMorgan
Chase’s annual performance assessment process, based on the CEO’s assessment of your
performance and the performance of the Firm (which may include more than one
performance year), that you have not achieved satisfactory progress toward the
priorities that have been established for you or that the Firm has not achieved
satisfactory progress toward the Firm’s priorities for which you share responsibility
as a member of the Operating Committee. Such a determination is subject to ratification
by the Compensation and Management Development Committee of the Board of Directors of
JPMorgan Chase.
	 
	 	 
	Vesting Periods

	 	The period from the Grant Date to each vesting date will be a separate “vesting period.”
	 
	 	 
	Termination of Employment

	 	Except as explicitly set forth below under “Job Elimination,” “Full Career
Eligibility,” “Total Disability,” “Government Office” and “Death,” any restricted stock
units outstanding under this award will be cancelled effective on the date your
employment with the Firm terminates for any reason.
	 
	 	 
	Job Elimination, Full Career
Eligibility, Government
Office, Total Disability

	 	Subject to “Vesting Dates” and the terms and conditions of this Award Agreement
(including without limitation “Your Obligations”), you will be eligible to continue to
vest in your outstanding restricted stock units under this award following the
termination of your employment if one of the following circumstances applies to you.
	 
	 	 
	 

	 	Job Elimination:
	 

	 	This award will continue to vest on the original schedule following termination of
employment in the event that:

 

 

	 	•	 	the Director Human Resources of the Firm or nominee in his or her sole
discretion determines that the Firm terminated your employment because your job was
eliminated, and
	 
	 	•	 	after you are notified that your job will be eliminated, you provide such
services as requested by the Firm in a cooperative and professional manner; and
	 
	 	•	 	you satisfy the Release/Certification Requirements set forth below.

	 	 	 
	 

	 	Full Career Eligibility:
	 

	 	This award will continue to vest on the original schedule following termination of
employment in the event that:

	 	•	 	you leave the Firm voluntarily, have completed at least five years of
continuous service with the Firm immediately preceding your termination date, and the
sum of your age and Recognized Service (as defined below) on your date of termination
equals or exceeds 60, and
	 
	 	•	 	you provide at least 90 days advance written notice to the Firm of your
intention to voluntarily terminate your employment under this provision, during which
notice period you provide such services as requested by the Firm in a cooperative and
professional manner and you do not perform any services for any other employer, and
	 
	 	•	 	for the remainder of the relevant vesting period, you do not (i) perform
services in any capacity (including self-employment) for a Financial Services Company
(as defined below) or (ii) work in your profession (whether or not for a Financial
Services Company); provided that you may work for a government, education or
Not-for-Profit Organization (as defined below); and
	 
	 	•	 	you satisfy the Release/Certification Requirements set forth below.

	 	 	 
	 

	 	After receipt of such advance written notice, the Firm may choose to have you continue
to provide services during such 90-day period or shorten the length of the 90-day
period at the Firm’s discretion, but to a date no earlier than the date you would
otherwise meet the age and service requirements.
	 
	 	 
	 

	 	Additional advance notice requirements may apply in certain business units (or
equivalent organizational unit or department). (See “Special Notice Period” below.)
	 
	 	 
	 

	 	Government Office:
	 

	 	All or a portion of this award may continue to vest on the original schedule if you
voluntarily resign to accept a Government Office or become a candidate for an elective
Government Office, as described at the end of these terms and conditions under the
section entitled “Government Office.”
	 
	 	 
	 

	 	Total Disability:
	 

	 	In the event your employment terminates as a result of your permanent and total
disability as defined in the JPMorgan Chase & Co. Long Term Disability Plan (or for
non-U.S. employees the equivalent local country plan), your outstanding units will
continue to vest on the original schedule during such period of disability provided
that you remain unemployed for such period and you satisfy the Release /Certification
requirements set forth below.
	 
	 	 
	 

	 	For both Full Career Eligibility and Total Disability, you must notify JPMorgan Chase
in writing in advance if you plan to perform services for any party or if you will be
self-employed during the vesting periods. Failure to provide such notification could
impact award vesting.
	 
	 	 
	Release/Certification

	 	In order to qualify for continued vesting after termination of your employment under
any of the foregoing circumstances:

	 	•	 	you must timely execute and deliver a release of claims in favor of the Firm,
having such form and terms as the Firm shall specify,
	 
	 	•	 	with respect to Full Career Eligibility, prior to the termination of your
employment, you must confirm with management that you meet the eligibility criteria
(including providing at least 90 days advance written notification) and advise that you
are seeking to be treated as an individual eligible for Full Career Eligibility, and
	 
	 	•	 	except in the case of a job elimination, it is your responsibility to take the
appropriate steps to certify to the Firm prior to each vesting date on the authorized
form of the Firm that you have complied with the employment restrictions applicable to
you (as described above) throughout the vesting period and otherwise complied with all
other terms of the Award Agreement. (See “Your Obligations.”)

2

 

	 	 	 
	Death

	 	If you die while you are eligible to vest in your outstanding units under this award,
the units will immediately vest and will be distributed in shares of Common Stock
(after applicable tax withholding) to your designated beneficiary on file with the
Firm’s Stock Administration Department, or if no beneficiary has been designated or
survives you, then to your estate. Any shares will be distributed by the later of the
end of the calendar year in which you die or the 15th day of the third month
following your date of death.
	 
	 	 
	Termination for Cause

	 	If your employment is terminated for Cause (as defined below), or if JPMC determines
after the termination of your employment that your employment could have been
terminated for Cause, your outstanding restricted stock units shall be forfeited. In
addition, you may be required to return to the Firm the value of certain shares
delivered to you prior to or after your termination. See “Remedies” for additional
information.
	 
	 	 
	Your Obligations

	 	In consideration of the grant of this award, you agree to comply with and be bound by
the following:
	 
	 	 
	• Non-Solicitation
of Employees 

   and
Customers:

	 	During your employment by the Firm and for one year following the termination of your
employment, or if longer, during all remaining vesting periods if you continue to vest
after your employment with the Firm terminates, you will not directly or indirectly,
whether on your own behalf or on behalf of any other party, without the prior written
consent of the Director Human Resources of JPMorgan Chase: (i) solicit, induce or
encourage any of the Firm’s then current employees to leave the Firm or to apply for
employment elsewhere; (ii) hire any employee or former employee who was employed by the
Firm at the date your employment terminated, unless the individual’s employment
terminated more than six months before the date of hire or because his or her job was
eliminated; or (iii) solicit or induce or attempt to induce to leave the Firm, or
divert or attempt to divert from doing business with the Firm, any then current
customers, suppliers or other persons or entities that were serviced by you or whose
names became known to you by virtue of your employment with the Firm, or otherwise
interfere with the relationship between the Firm and such customers, suppliers or other
persons or entities. This does not apply to publicly known institutional customers
that you service after your employment with the Firm without the use of the Firm’s
confidential or proprietary information.
	 
	 	 
	 

	 	These restrictions do not apply to authorized actions you take in the normal course of
your employment with the Firm, such as employment decisions with respect to employees
you supervise or business referrals in accordance with the Firm’s policies.
	 
	 	 
	• Confidential
Information:

	 	You may not, either during your employment with the Firm or thereafter, directly or
indirectly use or disclose to anyone any confidential information related to the Firm’s
business, except as explicitly permitted by the JPMorgan Chase Code of Conduct and
applicable policies or law or legal process. “Confidential information” shall have the
same meaning for the Award Agreement as it has in the JPMorgan Chase Code of Conduct.
	 
	 	 
	• Non-Disparagement:

	 	You may not, either during your employment with the Firm or thereafter, make or
encourage others to make any public statement or release any information that is
intended to, or reasonably could be foreseen to, embarrass or criticize the Firm or its
employees, officers, directors or shareholders as a group. This shall not preclude you
from reporting to the Firm’s management or directors or to the government or a
regulator conduct you believe to be in violation of the law or the Firm’s Code of
Conduct or responding truthfully to questions or requests for information to the
government, a regulator or in a court of law in connection with a legal or regulatory
investigation or proceeding.
	 
	 	 
	• Cooperation:

	 	You agree to cooperate fully with and provide full and accurate information to the Firm
and its counsel with respect to any matter (including any audit, tax proceeding,
litigation, investigation or governmental proceeding) with respect to which you may
have knowledge or information, subject to reimbursement for actual, appropriate and
reasonable expenses incurred by you.
	 
	 	 
	• Compliance with 

   Award Agreement:

	 	You agree that you will provide the Firm with any information reasonably requested to
determine compliance with the Award Agreement, and you authorize the Firm to disclose
the terms of the Award Agreement to any third party who might be affected thereby,
including your prospective employer.
	 
	 	 
	• Special Notice Period:

	 	If you are at or above the level of managing director, executive director or vice
president (or comparable title) of a business unit or equivalent organizational unit or
department (“business

3

 

	 	 	 
	 

	 	unit”) that requires as a condition of your continued employment
that you provide advance written notice (“Special Notice Period”) of your intention to
terminate your employment, then as consideration for this Award, you shall provide the
Firm advance written notice of your election to terminate your employment as specified
by such business unit. In business units that require this Special Notice Period, the
current notice period is 90 days for managing directors (or comparable title) and
above, 60 days for executive directors (or comparable title) and 30 days for vice
presidents (or comparable title). Please note that in some cases, individuals may have
specific agreements providing for longer notice periods than those stated above. In
those cases, the longer notice period shall apply.
	 
	 	 
	 

	 	After receipt of such notice, the Firm may choose to have you continue to provide
services during the applicable Special Notice Period or may place you on a paid leave
for all or part of the applicable Special Notice Period. During the Special Notice
Period, you shall continue to devote your full time and loyalty to the Firm by
providing services in a cooperative and professional manner and not perform any
services for any other employer and shall receive your base salary and certain benefits
until your employment terminates. You and the Firm may mutually agree to waive or
modify the length of the Special Notice Period.
	 
	 	 
	Remedies

	 	Regardless of whether the Special Notice Period applies to you, you must comply with
the 90-day advance notice period described under “Full Career Eligibility” in the event
you wish to terminate employment under the Full Career Eligibility provision.
	 
	 	 
	• Cancellation

	 	In addition to the provisions described under “Termination of Employment” and
“Termination for Cause”, your outstanding restricted stock units under this award will
be cancelled if:

	 	•	 	the Firm in its sole discretion determines that you are not in compliance with
any of the advance notice/cooperation requirements or employment restrictions
applicable to your termination of employment, or
	 
	 	•	 	you fail to return the required forms specified under “Release/Certification”
within the specified deadline, including the certification required immediately prior
to a vesting date under Full Career Eligibility and Total Disability,
	 
	 	•	 	you violate any of the provisions as set forth above in “Your Obligations;”
	 
	 	•	 	the Firm determines that cancellation is appropriate pursuant to “Additional
Award Conditions” below.

	 	 	 
	• Recovery

	 	In addition, you will be required to pay the Firm an amount equal to the Fair Market
Value (determined as of the vesting date) of the net number of shares of Common Stock
distributed to you under this award as follows:

	 	•	 	shares distributed within the one year period prior to your violation of any of
the provisions as set forth above in “Your Obligations;”
	 
	 	•	 	shares distributed at any time following termination of employment when you
were not in compliance with the employment restrictions then applicable to you during
the vesting period, and
	 
	 	•	 	shares distributed within the one year period immediately preceding and any
time after your termination of employment if your employment was terminated or the Firm
determines that your employment could have been terminated for Cause (as described
under “Termination for Cause”); and
	 
	 	•	 	for a period up to one year after shares are distributed under this award, the
Firm may recover such shares to the extent that the Firm determines appropriate
pursuant to “Additional Award Conditions” below.

	 	 	 
	 

	 	Payment may be made in shares of Common Stock or in cash. You agree that this
repayment will be a recovery of shares to which you were not entitled under this
agreement and is not to be construed in any manner as a penalty. You also acknowledge
that a violation or attempted violation of the obligations set forth herein will cause
immediate and irreparable damage to the Firm, and therefore agree that the Firm shall
be entitled as a matter of right to an injunction, from any court of competent
jurisdiction, restraining any violation or further violation of such obligations; such
right to an injunction, however, shall be cumulative and in addition to whatever other
remedies the Firm may have under law or equity. In any action or proceeding by the
Firm to enforce the terms and conditions of this Award Agreement where the Firm is the
prevailing party, the Firm shall be entitled to recover from you its reasonable
attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred in such action or proceeding.

4

 

	 	 	 
	Bonus Recoupment Policy

	 	In consideration of the grant of this award, you agree that you are subject to the
JPMorgan Chase Bonus Recoupment Policy [link to policy] as it applies both to the cash
incentive compensation awarded to you for 2009 and to this award.
	 
	 	 
	Additional Award Conditions

	 	Notwithstanding any terms of this Award Agreement to the contrary, JPMorgan Chase
reserves the right in its sole discretion to cancel your outstanding restricted stock
units under this award and/or to recover from you an amount equal to the Fair Market
Value (determined as of the vesting date) of the net number of shares distributed to
you under this award within the preceding one year:

	 	•	 	If you engaged in conduct detrimental to the Firm insofar as it causes material
financial or reputational harm to the Firm or its business activities;
	 
	 	•	 	If this award was based on materially inaccurate performance metrics, whether
or not you were responsible for the inaccuracy;
	 
	 	•	 	If this award was based on a material misrepresentation by you; or
	 
	 	•	 	If you failed to properly identify, raise or assess, in a timely manner and as
reasonably expected, risks and/or concerns with respect to risks material to the Firm
or its business activities.

	 	 	 
	Administrative Provisions

	 	Withholding Taxes: The Firm will retain from each distribution the number of shares of
Common Stock required to satisfy applicable tax obligations (including, to the extent
legally permissible, recovery by the Firm of fringe benefit taxes). For United States
tax purposes, dividend equivalents are treated as wages and subject to tax withholding
when paid. If, according to local country tax regulations, a withholding tax liability
arises at a time after the date of distribution of shares or dividend equivalents,
JPMorgan Chase may implement any procedures necessary to ensure that the withholding
obligation is fully satisfied, including but not limited to, restricting
transferability of the shares.
	 
	 	 
	 

	 	Right to Set Off: The Firm may, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law,
retain for itself funds or securities otherwise payable to you pursuant to this award
to satisfy any obligation or debt that you owe to the Firm. The Firm may not retain
such funds or securities until such time as they would otherwise be distributable to
you in accordance with the Award Agreement.
	 
	 	 
	 

	 	No Ownership Rights: Restricted stock units do not convey the rights of ownership of
Common Stock and do not carry voting rights. No shares of Common Stock will be issued
to you until after the restricted stock units have vested and all applicable
restrictions have lapsed. Shares will be issued in accordance with JPMorgan Chase’s
procedures for issuing stock. JPMorgan Chase’s obligation hereunder is unfunded.
	 
	 	 
	 

	 	Binding Agreement: The Award Agreement will be binding upon any successor in interest
to JPMorgan Chase, by merger or otherwise.
	 
	 	 
	 

	 	Not a Contract of Employment: Nothing contained in the Award Agreement constitutes a
contract of employment or continued employment. Employment is at-will and may be
terminated by either you or JPMorgan Chase for any reason at any time. This award
does not confer any right or entitlement to, nor does the award impose any obligation
on the Firm to provide, the same or any similar award in the future.
	 
	 	 
	 

	 	Section 409A Compliance: Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if you (i)
are subject to taxation under the Code, (ii) are a specified employee as defined in the
JPMorgan Chase 2005 Deferred Compensation Plan and (iii) have incurred a separation
from service and if any units/ shares under this award represent deferred compensation
as defined in Section 409A and such shares are distributable to you as a result your
separation from service, then those shares will be delivered to you on first business
day of the first calendar month after the expiration of six full months from date of
your separation from service. Further, if prior to any vesting date, your award is
not subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture as defined by Section 409A of the Code,
then the remainder of each calendar year immediately following (i) each vesting date
shall be a payment date for purposes of distributing the vested portion of the
award and (ii) each date that JPMorgan Chase specifies for payment of dividends
declared on its common stock shall be the payment date(s) for purposes of dividend
equivalent payments. To the extent that Section 409A of the Code is applicable to an
award, distributions of shares and cash thereunder are intended to comply with Section
409A of the Code, and the Agreement Award

5

 

	 	 	 
	 

	 	shall be interpreted in a manner consistent
with such intent. The Firm’s right to cancel and/or recover this award under the
JPMorgan Chase Bonus Recoupment Policy and “Additional Award Conditions” relate to the
organizational goals of the Firm.
	 
	 	 
	 

	 	Change in Outstanding Shares: In the event of any change in the outstanding shares of
Common Stock by reason of any stock dividend or split, recapitalization, issuance of a
new class of common stock, merger, consolidation, spin-off, combination or exchange of
shares or other similar corporate change, or any distributions to stockholders of
Common Stock other than regular cash dividends, the Compensation & Management
Development Committee of the Board will make an equitable substitution or proportionate
adjustment, in the number or kind of shares of Common Stock or other securities issued
or reserved for issuance pursuant to the Plan and to any Restricted Stock Units
outstanding under this award for such corporate events.
	 
	 	 
	 

	 	Interpretation/Administration: Subject to the discretion of the CEO set forth above,
the Director Human Resources has sole and complete authority to interpret and
administer this Award Agreement, including, without limitation, the power to (i)
interpret the Plan and the terms of this Award Agreement; (ii) determine the reason for
termination of employment; (iii) determine application of the post-employment
obligations and cancellation and recovery provisions; (iv) decide all claims arising
with respect to this Award; and (v) delegate such authority as he deems appropriate.
Any determination by the Director Human Resources shall be binding on all parties.
	 
	 	 
	 

	 	Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Firm’s determinations under the
Plan and the Award Agreements are not required to be uniform. By way of clarification,
the Firm shall be entitled to make non-uniform and selective determinations and
modifications under Award Agreements and the Plan.
	 
	 	 
	 

	 	Amendment:  The Firm by action of its Director Human Resources or its CEO reserves
the right to amend the Award Agreement in any manner, at any time and for any reason
This Award Agreement may not be amended except in writing signed by the Director Human
Resources of JPMorgan Chase.
	 
	 	 
	 

	 	Severability: If any portion of the Award Agreement is determined by the Firm to be
unenforceable in any jurisdiction, any court of competent jurisdiction or the Director
Human Resources may reform the relevant provisions (e.g., as to length of service,
time, geographical area or scope) to the extent the Firm considers necessary to make
the provision enforceable under applicable law.
	 
	 	 
	 

	 	Governing Law: By accepting this award, you are agreeing (i) to the extent not
preempted by federal law, the laws of the state of New York (without reference to
conflict of law principles) will apply to this award and the Plan; (ii) to waive the
right to a jury trial with respect to any judicial proceeding brought in connection
with this award or the Plan; (iii) subject to (iv), to accept the exclusive
jurisdiction and venue of the United States District Court for the Southern District of
New York with respect to any judicial proceeding brought in connection with this award
or the Plan; and (iv) that to the extent not otherwise subject to arbitration pursuant
to an arbitration agreement between you and the Firm, any dispute arising directly or
indirectly in connection with this award or the Plan shall be submitted to arbitration
in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association, if so elected by
the Firm in its sole discretion.

Government Office

You may be eligible to continue vesting in all or part of your award if you voluntarily resign to

Office.

Eligibility

Eligibility for continued vesting is conditioned on your providing the Firm:

	 	•	 	At least 60 days advance written notice and such evidence as the Firm may request of
your intention to resign to accept or pursue a Government Office, during which period you
must perform in a cooperative and professional manner services requested by the Firm and
not provide services for any other employer. The Firm may elect to shorten this notice
period at the Firm’s discretion.
	 
	 	•	 	Confirmation, in a form satisfactory to the Firm, that vesting in this award pursuant to
this provision would not violate any applicable law, regulation or rule.
	 
	 	•	 	Documentation in a form satisfactory to the Firm that your resignation is for the
purpose of accepting or becoming a candidate for a Government Office.

Continued vesting

Subject to the conditions below, the percentage of your outstanding awards with respect to each
vesting date that will continue to vest in accordance with this award’s original schedule will be
based on your years of continuous service completed with the Firm immediately preceding your
termination date, as follows:

	 	•	 	50% if you have at least 3 but less than 4 years of continuous service;
	 
	 	•	 	75% if you have at least 4 but less than 5 years of continuous service;
	 
	 	•	 	100% if you have 5 or more years of continuous service.

Restricted stock units that are not subject to continued vesting will be cancelled on the date your
employment terminates.

Conditions for continuing vesting

	 	•	 	You must remain in a non-elective Government Office for two or more years after your
employment with the Firm terminates.
	 
	 	•	 	In the case of resignation from the Firm to campaign for an elective Government Office,
your name must be on the primary or final public ballot for the election. (If you are not
elected, see below for employment restrictions.)

7

 

If you do not satisfy the above conditions for continued vesting, this award will be immediately
cancelled, and you will be required to repay the Fair Market Value determined as of the date the
shares were distributed, of any shares that would have been outstanding but for the accelerated
distribution of shares (as described below).

If service in Government Office ends during vesting period

You must notify JPMorgan Chase in writing in advance if you plan to accept employment or if you
will be self-employed following service in the Government Office during the vesting period

If your service in a Government Office ends two years or more after your employment with the Firm
terminates, or in the case of resignation from the Firm to campaign for a Government Office, your
name is on the primary or final public ballot for the election and you are not elected, any awards
then outstanding and any awards that would have then been outstanding but for an accelerated
distribution of shares (as set forth below) will be subject for the remainder of the applicable
vesting period to the same terms and conditions of this Award Agreement as if you had resigned from
the Firm having met the requirements for Full Career Eligibility.

Accelerated distribution for ethics or conflict reasons

If applicable United States federal, state, local, foreign or supranational ethics or conflict of
interest laws or regulations require you to divest your interest in JPMorgan Chase restricted stock
units, the Firm will, upon receipt of satisfactory evidence of such requirements, accelerate the
distribution effective as of the date your employment terminates, of the percentage of your
outstanding award determined above; provided that no accelerated distribution shall occur if JPMC
determines that such acceleration will violate Section 409A of the Code. Notwithstanding such
accelerated distribution, you will remain subject to the applicable terms of this Award Agreement
as if your award had remained outstanding for the duration of the original vesting period,
including the employment restrictions, and you will be required to repay the Fair Market Value,
determined as of the date the shares were distributed, of any shares that would not otherwise have
vested during that period.

Applicable to other Awards

Outstanding awards of restricted stock units have been amended to include this provision on
Government Office.

Government Office means (i) a full-time position in an elected or appointed office in local, state,
or federal government.
(including equivalent positions outside the U.S. or in a supranational organization), not
reasonably anticipated to be a full-career position; or (ii) conducting a bona fide full-time
campaign for such an elective public office after formally filing for candidacy, where it is
