By Angela McDaniels

Tacoma, Wash., March 5 - JPMorgan Chase & Co. priced $5.08 million of 0% buffered return enhanced notes due Sept. 9, 2009 linked to the price of gold, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

If the final price of gold is greater than the strike level, then the payout at maturity will be par plus 1.5 times the gain, subject to a maximum return of 18.5%. Investors will receive par if gold declines by 10% or less from the strike level and will lose 1% for every 1% that it declines beyond 10%.

The strike level was set at $914.00 on the pricing date and is higher than the price of gold on that date, which was $913.75.

J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. is the agent.
