Important Benefits Reminders Newborns’ and Mothers’ Health Protection Act. In accordance with the Newborns’ and Mothers’ Health Protection Act, group medical plans and health insurance issuers may not, under federal law, restrict benefits for any hospital length of stay in connection with childbirth for the mother or newborn child to less than 48 hours following a normal delivery, or to less than 96 hours following a Cesarean section. Further, the plan cannot require that any medical provider obtain authorization from the plan or any insurance issuer for prescribing a length of stay not in excess of these periods. Medical Plan Post-Mastectomy Benefits. All options under the JPMorgan Chase Medical Plan cover certain breast reconstructive benefits in conjunction with a mastectomy for eligible participants. Coverage under the Medical Plan is available for: • Reconstruction of the breast on which the mastectomy was performed; • Surgery and reconstruction for the other breast to produce a symmetrical appearance; and • Prosthesis and treatment of physical complications for all stages of mastectomy, including lymphedema. This coverage is subject to all the terms of the Medical Plan option in which you participate, including relevant deductibles, copayments, and coinsurance provisions. For more information, please contact your Medical Plan option administrator. HIPAA Privacy Rights and Protected Health Information. Federal legislation under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) legally requires employers to specifically communicate how certain protected health information under employee and retiree health care plans may be used and disclosed, as well as how plan participants can get access to their protected health information. Accordingly, JPMorgan Chase will distribute once every three years a “Privacy Notice of Protected Health Information Under the JPMorgan Chase Health Care Plans” to you that describes in detail how your personal health information may be used and your rights with regard to this information. You can also access a copy of this notice on Company Home > HR & Personal > Pay & Benefits > Library > Privacy Notice of Protected Health Information. (This notice was last distributed in April 2006.)

The JPMorgan Chase Benefits Program is available to most full-time and part-time U.S. dollar-paid, salaried employees who are regularly scheduled to work 20 hours or more a week and who are employed by JPMorgan Chase & Co. or one of its subsidiaries to the extent that such subsidiary has adopted the JPMorgan Chase Benefits Program. This information does not include all of the details contained in the applicable insurance contracts, plan documents, and trust agreements. If there is any discrepancy between this information and the governing documents, the governing documents will control. JPMorgan Chase & Co. expressly reserves the right to amend, modify, reduce, change, or terminate its benefits and plans at any time. The JPMorgan Chase Benefits Program does not create a contract or guarantee of employment between JPMorgan Chase and any individual.

Non-Smoker and Smoker Designations for 2007 You will pay lower, non-smoker rates for the Medical Plan (employee, adult, and child coverage), the Supplemental Term Life Insurance Plan (employee and adult coverage), and the Long-Term Disability Plan (employee coverage) for 2007 if you and/or your covered dependents are nonsmokers, or if you and/or your covered dependents complete an approved smoking cessation program by the November 29, 2006 deadline. (Please keep in mind that even if you completed an approved smoking cessation program last fall, you must be smoke free for all 12 months of 2006 to qualify for lower, non-smoker rates in 2007. If you have not been smoke free for all of 2006 according to the definition at right, you must complete an approved smoking cessation program by November 29, 2006 to qualify for lower, non-smoker rates in 2007.) Smoking cessation programs are available throughout the year. More information on smoking cessation programs and requirements is available on Company Home > HR & Personal > Life & Well-Being > Personal Health > Smoking Cessation Program. Important Reminder: Please review the non-smoker/smoker status for yourself and your eligible dependents on the Benefits Web Center to ensure the default designations are accurate for 2007. Please Note: If you were hired on or after October 1, 2006, you will be assigned non-smoker rates for your and your dependents’ coverage even if you declare yourself a smoker, because you may not have had an opportunity to complete a smoking cessation program in order to qualify for the lower non-smoker rates.

JPMorgan Chase 2007 BENEFITS ENROLLMENT GUIDE

How “Smoker” Is Defined Under the JPMorgan Chase Benefits Program, a person who has smoked any type of tobacco product (e.g., cigarettes, cigars, or a pipe) regardless of the frequency or location (this includes daily, occasionally, socially, at home only, etc.) in the 12 months preceding any January 1 is considered a “smoker.” This definition does not pertain to users of tobacco products that are not smoked, such as chewing tobacco or snuff. As explained at left, you can complete an approved smoking cessation program and qualify for lower, non-smoker rates.

Eligibility for the Health and Income Protection Plans and the Employee Stock Purchase Plan Generally, you are eligible to participate in the Health and Income Protection Plans and the Employee Stock Purchase Plan if you are a full-time or part-time U.S. dollar-paid employee regularly scheduled to work 20 hours or more per week who is employed by JPMorgan Chase or one of its affiliates that has adopted the plans. You are considered a part-time employee if you are regularly scheduled to work at least 20 but less than 40 hours per week. Full-time employees are eligible to participate in the Health and Income Protection Plans on the first day of the month following their date of hire. Part-time employees are eligible to participate in the Health and Income Protection Plans on the first day of the month following a 90-day waiting period after their date of hire.

Important Terms: Full-Time Student Generally, a full-time student is defined as a dependent enrolled in an educational institution on a full-time basis at the time services are received. An educational institution is defined as a school maintaining a regular faculty, an established curriculum and having an organized student body in attendance. It includes high schools, colleges, technical schools and similar institutions, but not on-the-job training. JPMorgan Chase will use the educational institution’s definition of a full-time student. During the summer term, when few students are enrolled, coverage will be based on enrollment during the previous term, unless the student has completed his or her full course of studies.

Children “Children” include natural children, stepchildren, children under your legal guardianship, your domestic partner’s children, and legally adopted children whom you could claim as dependents on your income tax return or for whom you provide at least 50% of support. “Children” also includes a child under age 18 who lives with you and for whom adoption proceedings have already begun and whom you have the legal obligation (in whole or part) to support.

To participate in the Employee Stock Purchase Plan, both full-time and part-time employees must complete 90 days of service by December 31, 2006. For example, to participate in the Employee Stock Purchase Plan for 2007, you must have been hired on or before September 30, 2006. Please Note: Employees whose annual total cash compensation is $250,000 or more are not eligible to participate in the plan. (Please see page 33 for additional information.)

ELIGIBLE DEPENDENTS Under the Medical, Dental, and Vision Plans, Supplemental Term Life Insurance, Accidental Death and Dismemberment (AD&D) Insurance, Long-Term Care Insurance, and Group Legal Services Plans, your eligible dependents include: • Your spouse to whom you’re legally married or a domestic partner, as explained on the next page; • Your unmarried dependent children who are fully dependent on you for financial support up to the end of the month in which they reach: – Age 19; or – Age 21 if they are not eligible for benefits through their own employer; or – Age 23 if they are a full-time student (please see the definition of “full-time student” in the column at left). However, you may continue coverage for an unmarried child who is not capable of supporting himself or herself due to a mental or physical disability that began before the age limits listed above and who is fully dependent on you for financial support. Important Note: If you are currently covering a dependent child in 2006 affected by the dependent age limits listed above, your dependent child will continue to be eligible in 2007. These dependent age limits will not take effect until January 1, 2008 (or until the end of the month in which he or she reaches age 23, if earlier) for any dependent child covered as of December 31, 2006. Please Note: There are special issues regarding covering a domestic partner or the child of a domestic partner who is not your tax dependent. Please see the 2007 Domestic Partner Coverage Guide for details. (See page 3 for instructions on how to access the Guide.)

If JPMorgan Chase also employs your spouse/domestic partner or dependent child, he or she can be covered as an employee or as your dependent, but not as both. If you want to cover your eligible dependent children, you or your spouse/domestic partner (but not both of you) may elect to provide this coverage.

Eligible Tax Dependents Under the Health Care and Child/Elder Care Spending Accounts

Under the Child/Elder Care Spending Account, an eligible dependent is a child under age 13, or any dependent who is physically or mentally incapable of self-care, whom you claim on your tax return, and who spends at least eight hours a day in your home. (To claim someone as a dependent, you need to provide at least 50% of that person’s support.)

Your eligible tax dependents can include your spouse, a domestic partner, and your dependent children, including the children of your domestic partner if they are your tax dependents.

Please Note: Dependent eligibility can vary under the different plans and options offered through the JPMorgan Chase Benefits Program. It’s always a good idea to check with the carrier directly to learn about any restrictions that may apply. Documentation of eligibility is not always required when you enroll, but may be requested at any time by JPMorgan Chase or the claims administrator.

D E P E N D E N T A G E E XC E PT I O N S The dependent eligibility guidelines described on page 7 may be superseded by state mandates that govern minimum eligibility requirements within a particular state for the Medical Plan’s HMO Option, the Dental Plan’s DHMO Option, and the Vision Plan. (Please see “State Mandates Governing Dependent Eligibility Rules” below for the complete listing.) State Mandates Governing Dependent Eligibility Rules If you are enrolled in an HMO Option (as defined by JPMorgan Chase) in one of the following states, the state mandates will govern the eligibility rules for dependents. Possible exceptions to the JPMorgan Chase eligibility rules are noted below. Please check with your HMO option administrator for more information. If you are living in:

The maximum age is:

Colorado

25 where coverage ends at the end of the month

Florida

25 where coverage ends at the end of the year

Louisiana

24 where coverage ends at the end of the month; grandchildren can be covered up to the end of the month in which he or she reaches age 21

Massachusetts

End of day in which a dependent turns age 21 or up to age 26 (if he or she is a tax dependent)

New Jersey

30 where coverage ends at the end of the month

New Mexico

26 where coverage ends at the end of the month

Texas

25 where coverage ends at the end of the month

Utah

26 where coverage ends at the end of the month

Wisconsin

Grandchildren under age 18 can be covered until the month

Please Note: The dependent age exceptions listed above do not apply if you are enrolled in an EPO option. In addition, certain state mandates may also apply to eligibility for the Dental Plan and the Vision Plan. Please check with your Dental and/or Vision option administrator for more information.

JPMorgan Chase 2007 BENEFITS ENROLLMENT GUIDE

You may continue to submit eligible health care expenses under the 2007 Health Care Spending Account (if you elect to participate for 2007) for a dependent child who does not meet the eligibility requirements as long as he or she remains your tax dependent for income tax purposes.

Important Note on Dependent Eligibility You are responsible for understanding the dependent eligibility rules and abiding by them. Each year during annual benefits enrollment, you must review your covered dependents and confirm they continue to meet the eligibility requirements. JPMorgan Chase reserves the right to conduct dependent eligibility audits at any time. These audits help ensure that dependents who have been certified for coverage during the enrollment process continue to meet plan rules for eligibility. As a result, you may be asked to provide documentation of eligibility for your covered dependents at any time. It is important that you review both the dependent eligibility rules and the status of your dependents on file and make any necessary adjustments during your designated enrollment period or within 31 days of a qualified change in status (e.g., birth of a child, gain or loss of other coverage, etc.). The results of any audit could affect any prior claims that have been paid, as well as your dependent’s eligibility for coverage under the JPMorgan Chase Benefits Program, including continuation coverage under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA). Employees are advised that providing false or inaccurate information regarding dependents or dependent eligibility is a violation of the firm’s policy as set out in the Code of Conduct. To access the Code of Conduct, please go to Company Home > About Us > Code of Conduct.

Special Note for Non-U.S. Home-Based Expatriate Employees

D O M E S T I C PA RT N E R S You may cover a domestic partner under the Medical, Dental, Vision, Group Legal Services, Supplemental Term Life Insurance, AD&D Insurance, and Long-Term Care Insurance Plans.

If you are not a U.S. citizen or resident (“non-U.S. expatriate”), U.S. tax laws may not apply. However, you should consult your legal/tax advisor regarding the implications of covering a domestic partner under the laws of the foreign jurisdiction in which you reside.

At JPMorgan Chase, the definition of a domestic partner is as follows. You and your domestic partner must: • Be age 18 or older; • Have lived together for at least six months and have a serious, committed relationship; • Be financially interdependent; • Not be related to each other in a way that would prohibit legal marriage; and • Not be legally married to, or the domestic partner of, anyone else; or • Have registered as domestic partners pursuant to a domestic partnership ordinance or law of a state or local government, or under the laws of a foreign jurisdiction.

For more information on covering a domestic partner, please review the Domestic Partner Coverage Guide. (See page 3 for instructions on how to access the Guide.)

Important Note: You must certify your request to cover a domestic partner before coverage can begin. When enrolling a domestic partner for coverage under a particular Medical Plan option, please be sure that the option you select allows coverage for a domestic partner. At this time, the following Medical Plan options have limitations on domestic partner coverage: – Dean Health Plan — So. WI (HMO) Option does not permit domestic partner coverage. – Kaiser Permanente HMO CO only permits same-sex domestic partner coverage. – The Health Savings Account component of the new Consumer Driven Health Option does not apply to domestic partners unless you can claim your domestic partner and/or their children as a dependent on your tax return in your state. Because domestic partners are not automatically considered tax dependents in most states under the current tax code, expenses incurred by a covered domestic partner and their children generally cannot be paid for with the employee’s Health Savings Account. The above list is subject to change; for additional information on covering a domestic partner, please contact each Medical Plan option directly, call the Benefits Call Center and speak with a Service Representative, or review the Domestic Partner Coverage Guide. (See page 3 for instructions on how to access this Guide.)

Enrolling for Medical Benefits

Important Note for Expatriate Employees

The JPMorgan Chase Medical Plan offers eligible employees several different types of coverage so you can choose the most appropriate medical protection for yourself and your eligible dependents.

If you are an expatriate employee, a special Medical Plan option is available to you because of your international assignment. Certain information outlined in this section does not apply to you. Please refer to Your Guide to the JPMorgan Chase Expatriate Benefit Plan Options for information on your medical option.

TY P E O F COV E R A G E You can choose your medical coverage from among the following options, depending on your home zip code: • Preferred Provider Organization (PPO)/Point-of-Service (POS) High Option; • Preferred Provider Organization (PPO)/Point-of-Service (POS) Low Option; • Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) Option; • Exclusive Provider Organization (EPO) Option; • Consumer Driven Health Option;* • Traditional Indemnity Option; or • No Coverage. The Benefits Web Center will show what options are available in your area, and will show in parentheses after each option name whether the option is considered an HMO or EPO.

COV E R A G E C AT EG O R I E S JPMorgan Chase provides a flexible range of coverage levels. Your coverage level is based on the dependents you enroll, as shown below: • Employee Only; • Employee Plus One Adult; • Employee Plus Child(ren); or • Employee Plus One Adult Plus Child(ren). 2 0 07 CO S T O F COV E R A G E You pay for your cost of medical coverage with before-tax dollars. Your cost per pay period depends on the level of your annual total cash compensation (excluding overtime), the medical option you choose, the number and type of eligible dependents you cover, and your and/or your covered dependents’ smoker status. Costs for 2007 are shown on the “Enroll in Your Benefits” screen on the Benefits Web Center. (Please see page 12 for the definition of “Annual Total Cash Compensation.”) * If you enroll in the Consumer Driven Health Option, you have the option to open a new Health Savings Account during the year through the Benefits Web Center to help pay for your out-of-pocket medical expenses. There are restrictions on when and how you can make Health Savings Account contributions. Please see the 2007 Benefits Enrollment Bulletin for more information.

Things to Consider • Do I want medical coverage through JPMorgan Chase, or do I have adequate coverage elsewhere? • Do I want an option with higher deductibles or copayments to reduce my per-pay-period costs for coverage (knowing I may have higher out-of-pocket costs when I use the plan during the year)? • Would I rather have higher payperiod costs and spend less out of pocket during the year? • Do I want the flexibility of a PPO/POS option to receive services either in or out of network? • Do I want the opportunity to contribute before-tax money to a Health Savings Account to help pay for future health care expenses? • What prescription drugs are covered under the option that I’m considering? • Are my current health care providers associated with the option that I’m considering? • If I want to cover a domestic partner, does the option I’ve chosen permit coverage?

All out-of-network percentages above generally apply to reasonable and customary charges. Since in-network charges for covered services have been negotiated with the health care providers, reasonable and customary limitations generally do not apply. *Plan provisions may vary by health maintenance organization (HMO) and exclusive provider organization (EPO); these are typical provisions. Please Note: In some areas, an EPO may be offered in addition to or in lieu of an HMO. EPOs work much like HMOs in that most in-network services are fully paid after a copayment, out-of-network services are generally not covered, and there are generally no claim forms to file. However, EPOs are not subject to state-mandated benefits or dependent age exceptions and prescription drug coverage is provided by Caremark through the Prescription Drug Plan. **The annual out-of-pocket maximum for the Consumer Driven Health Option includes the annual deductible.

Important Details About Your Coverage • Defining Annual Total Cash Compensation. Your Medical Plan contributions are determined in part by your annual total cash compensation, which is defined as generally your base salary plus any applicable job differential pay (e.g., shift pay) as of each August 1, plus any cash earnings from any incentive plans (e.g., annual bonus, commissions, draws, overrides, and special recognition payments or incentives) that are paid to or deferred by you for the previous 12-month period ending each July 31. Overtime is not included. For purposes of Medical Plan contributions, your annual total cash compensation is recalculated as of each August 1 to take effect the following January 1 and will remain unchanged throughout the year. For most employees hired on or after August 1, annual total cash compensation will be equal to base salary plus applicable job differentials. Please Note: Separate definitions may apply to employees in certain sales positions who are paid on a draw-and-commission basis. If this situation applies to you, you will be notified. • Plan Changes. Please keep in mind that even if you continue in the same Medical Plan option you’re in today, that option may have significant changes in its provisions. Please Note: Some options may be discontinued for 2007. Please see the 2007 Benefits Enrollment Bulletin for more information. Be sure to click on the “Compare Your Medical Options” link in the “Enrollment Decision Toolkit” on the Benefits Web Center, as there may be changes in benefit provisions—such as copayments, coinsurance, and out-of-pocket maximums—and costs that will apply for 2007. • Non-Smoker and Smoker Contributions for Coverage. Your and your dependents’ smoker status will affect your contributions under the Medical Plan. For more information on non-smoker and smoker premiums under the Medical Plan, please see page 6. • Choosing an HMO or EPO Primary Care Physician. If you elect coverage under an HMO or EPO Option, you may be required to select a primary care physician (PCP). Remember: You can choose a different PCP for yourself and each covered dependent. Use the “Enrollment Decision Toolkit” on the Benefits Web Center to see if your doctor participates in one of the JPMorgan Chase Medical Plan options. See pages 5–6 for instructions on how to access the Benefits Web Center. • Providers Leaving Networks. When considering your options under the Medical Plan for 2007, please remember that if your health care provider leaves a managed care network, it does not qualify as an event that allows you to change coverage during the year. Please check with your provider to ensure that he or she plans to continue participation in the option of your choice for 2007. • Prescription Drug Coverage. All JPMorgan Chase medical coverage includes prescription drug coverage. If you elect coverage under a Preferred Provider Organization (PPO)/Point-of-Service (POS) Option, the Traditional Indemnity Option, or an Exclusive Provider Organization (EPO) Option, prescription drug benefits will be administered by Caremark, and you will receive two separate ID cards (one for medical services and the other for prescription drug benefits). If you elect coverage under an HMO Option, prescription drug benefits will be administered by the HMO, and you will only receive one ID card from your HMO. If you elect coverage under the Consumer Driven Health Option, prescription drug benefits will be administered by Aetna, and you will only receive one ID card for medical services and prescription drug benefits. Please Note: If you enroll in the Consumer Driven Health Option, you must meet the annual deductible before either medical or prescription drug benefits take effect (except for preventive medical care). • Consumer Driven Health Option Coverage Categories. Unlike other Medical Plan options, there are only employee and family levels for annual deductibles and annual out-of-pocket maximums. If you are covering any dependents, you will have to meet the entire family annual deductible before the plan begins sharing a portion of your eligible expenses through coinsurance. This means that if you are covering dependents and only one individual in your family is incurring medical expenses, they will have to meet the entire $5,400 annual deductible before coinsurance begins. Please Note: Preventive medical care is covered at 100% with no deductible. • Consumer Driven Health Option Plus Health Savings Account. Because of the tax advantages offered by Health Savings Accounts and the Health Care Spending Account (continued on next page) 12

Important Details About Your Coverage (continued) when used for medical expenses, the government places certain restrictions on these types of benefit plans when offered together. As a result, if you currently are participating in the 2006 JPMorgan Chase Health Care Spending Account and you enroll in the Consumer Driven Health Option for 2007, you cannot begin contributing to the Health Savings Account prior to April 1, 2007. Your total contributions for the year will be limited to 9/12ths of the annual deductible ($2,025 for employee only coverage/$4,050 if you cover any dependents). In addition, if you enroll in the Consumer Driven Health Option and contribute to the Health Savings Account and the Health Care Spending Account for 2007, your Health Care Spending Account will be limited to dental and vision expenses only. You will not be able to use your Health Care Spending Account to pay for medical expenses, so please plan your contributions accordingly. • Enrolling in the Health Savings Account. If you enroll in the Consumer Driven Health Option, you have the option to open a new Health Savings Account to help pay for your out-of-pocket medical expenses. After electing the Consumer Driven Health Option, go into the Health Savings Account election page. From this page, you can: – Review the Health Savings Account Custodial Agreement and fee schedule. – Enter your annual contribution amount for the Health Savings Account. This is the amount you would like to contribute to the Health Savings Account for the year, which will be deducted from your pay in equal installments throughout the year. (Remember, you cannot contribute more than the annual deductible under the Consumer Driven Health Option— $2,700 for employee only coverage/$5,400 if you cover any dependents, unless you are able to make catch-up contributions. If you are participating in the 2006 Health Care Spending Account, you can only contribute 9/12ths of the annual deductible and your contributions cannot start until April 2007.) (If you are on the Health Savings Account election page but do not wish to open a Health Savings Account, enter “$0” for the annual contribution.) – Acknowledge that you have read the Custodial Agreement and fee schedule. (You will be authorizing the Health Savings Account to be opened by this acknowledgement.) If you open a Health Savings Account, a Welcome Kit will be mailed to your home address in December. For more information on the Consumer Driven Health Option and Health Savings Account, please see the 2007 Benefits Enrollment Bulletin. You can visit Aetna’s Consumer Driven Health Option web site at www.consumerdrivenoption.com via the Internet or contact Aetna at 1-888-238-6275. • Enrolling a Domestic Partner. If you elect to enroll a domestic partner who was not covered in 2006, you will be prompted to certify that your domestic partner meets the eligibility rules as defined under the plan when you enroll. For more information on covering a domestic partner, including instructions for certifying the tax dependent status of certain covered dependents, please review the Domestic Partner Coverage Guide. (See page 3 for instructions on how to access the Guide.) • When Coverage Begins. Medical coverage you elect during your designated enrollment period takes effect January 1, 2007. If you do not make any changes during your designated enrollment period, the coverage listed on the “Enroll in Your Benefits” screen on the Benefits Web Center will take effect January 1, 2007. Please Note: These coverages and related costs may differ from your current coverage on file due to plan and dependent eligibility changes effective January 1, 2007. See the 2007 Benefits Enrollment Bulletin for additional information. • For Additional Information. If you have questions about eligibility or enrolling in the Medical Plan, please call the Benefits Call Center through accessHR at 1-877-JPMChase (1-877-576-2427) and speak with a Service Representative (Quick Path: Enter your Standard ID or Social Security number; press 1; enter your PIN; press 1).

Enrolling for Dental Benefits

Important Note for Expatriate Employees

The JPMorgan Chase Dental Plan offers eligible employees different types of coverage so you can choose the most appropriate dental protection for yourself and your eligible dependents.

If you are an expatriate employee, a special Dental Plan option is available to you because of your international assignment. The information outlined in this section does not apply to you. Please refer to Your Guide to the JPMorgan Chase Expatriate Benefit Plan Options for information on your dental option.

TY P E O F COV E R A G E You can choose your dental coverage from among the following options, depending on your home zip code: • Preferred Dentist Program (PDP) Option; • Dental Maintenance Organization (DMO)/Dental Health Maintenance Organization (DHMO) Option; • Traditional Indemnity Option; or • No Coverage.

Things to Consider • Do I want dental coverage through • JPMorgan Chase, or do I have adequate coverage elsewhere? • Do I want the flexibility of choosing network providers for some services and going outside the network for others? • Do I want to be able to receive care from any dentist that I choose? Am I willing to pay more for this option? • Do I want to receive all my care only from providers participating in the PDP or DMO/DHMO? • Do I want to reduce the amount of paperwork associated with submitting claims and obtaining reimbursements? • Is my current dentist associated with the PDP or DMO/DHMO that I’m considering?

Important Details About Your Coverage

• Choosing a Dental Maintenance Organization (DMO)/Dental Health Maintenance Organization (DHMO) Dentist. If you elect DMO/DHMO coverage, you will be required to select a primary care dentist.

Important Details About Your Coverage • Using an EyeMed Provider. Each time you need services, you can see an EyeMed in-network provider in the United States and receive higher benefits and services at reduced rates, or see an out-of-network provider and be reimbursed up to specified dollar amounts. When you use network providers, you generally will not need to submit a claim form to be entitled to benefits. Your EyeMed provider will submit claims on your behalf. You’ll generally need to pay the copayment and any non-covered expenses at the time you receive services. For out-of-network services, you must pay the provider at the time you receive services and then file a claim for reimbursement from EyeMed (subject to plan limits). A provider search tool is available on the Benefits Web Center. Once you reach the Health Insurance guide page under “Manage Your Health Care,” look for the link to “Find a Doctor in Your Vision Plan.” See pages 5–6 for instructions on how to access the Benefits Web Center. • Non-Covered Eyeglasses. EyeMed offers a 40% discount on additional pairs of prescription glasses (this includes lenses and a frame). In addition, if you should choose a frame valued at more than the plan’s allowance, you will receive 20% off the balance over the plan’s allowance. For conventional contact lenses, you will receive 15% off the balance over the plan’s allowance. • Enrolling a Domestic Partner. If you elect to enroll a domestic partner who was not covered in 2006, you will be prompted to certify that your domestic partner meets the eligibility rules as defined under the plan when you enroll. For more information on covering a domestic partner, including instructions for certifying the tax dependent status of certain covered dependents, please review the Domestic Partner Coverage Guide. (See page 3 for instructions on how to access the Guide.) • When Coverage Begins. Vision coverage you elect during your designated enrollment period takes effect January 1, 2007. If you do not make any changes during your designated enrollment period, the coverage listed on the “Enroll in Your Benefits” screen on the Benefits Web Center will take effect January 1, 2007. All new Vision Plan participants for 2007 will receive an ID card from EyeMed. Please Note: These coverages and related costs may differ from your current coverage on file due to plan and dependent eligibility changes effective January 1, 2007. See the 2007 Benefits Enrollment Bulletin for additional information. • For Additional Information. If you have questions about eligibility or enrolling in the Vision Plan, please call the Benefits Call Center through accessHR at 1-877-JPMChase (1-877-576-2427) and speak with a Service Representative (Quick Path: Enter your Standard ID or Social Security number; press 1; enter your PIN; press 1).

Things to Consider Health Care Spending Account: • What’s the total amount I’m likely to spend on coinsurance, copayments, and deductibles with the medical, dental, and vision options I’ve chosen? • Do I plan to enroll in the Consumer Driven Health Option plus Health Savings Account, which would limit reimbursement of my Health Care Spending Account expenses to dental and vision only? • Will my children need orthodontia care this year? How much is it likely to cost? • How many over-the-counter medications will my family need? • Does anyone in my family use a prescription drug not covered under my medical option? • What other health care expenses did I pay out of pocket last year that I will probably pay again next year? Child/Elder Care Spending Account: • What’s the total annual amount I pay for day care? • Should I use the Child/Elder Care Spending Account or the federal dependent care tax credit, or some combination? • Should I consider using my spouse’s Child/Elder Care Spending Account if my contributions will be limited due to IRS requirements? • Will my child reach age 13 or otherwise become ineligible for the Child/Elder Care Spending Account midyear?

Transportation Spending Accounts You can choose from a wide selection of transit passes, vouchers, and parking facilities nationwide. More information on the Transportation Spending Accounts is available on Company Home > HR & Personal > Benefits.

Enrolling in the Health Care Spending Account, Child/Elder Care Spending Account, and Transportation Spending Accounts The JPMorgan Chase Health Care Spending Account, Child/Elder Care Spending Account, and Transportation Spending Accounts can help you reduce costs by allowing you to pay for eligible health care, child/elder care, transit, or parking expenses with before-tax dollars. If you want to participate in the Health Care and/or Child/Elder Care Spending Accounts for 2007, you must make an election during your designated enrollment period. Your 2006 elections will not automatically carry over for 2007. You can start, stop, or change your Transportation Spending Account participation at any time on a monthly basis. The Health Care and Child/Elder Care Spending Accounts are administered by ADP. The Transportation Spending Accounts are administered by WageWorks. Please Note: The Transportation Spending Accounts allow you the convenience of pre-electing your eligible monthly commuter pass/ticket and/or parking expenses for the coming month. Your payroll deductions for a given month will be used to fund eligible commuting expenses for the next month. As a result, you should be aware of certain short-term effects on your personal financial situation when you first enroll in the program.

S P E N D I N G A CCO U N T O PT I O N S • Health Care Spending Account: You can set aside from $240 to $8,000 a year on a before-tax basis to pay for eligible out-of-pocket health care expenses. • IRS guidelines permit employees who have an outstanding account balance at year-end to apply reimbursable expenses incurred through March 15 of the following year against that balance. Because of the tax advantages offered by Health Savings Accounts and the Health Care Spending Account when used for medical expenses, the government places certain restrictions on these types of benefit plans when offered together. As a result, if you currently are participating in the 2006 JPMorgan Chase Health Care Spending Account and you enroll in the Consumer Driven Health Option for 2007, you cannot begin contributing to the Health Savings Account prior to April 1, 2007. Your total contributions for the year will be limited to 9/12ths of the annual deductible ($2,025 for employee only coverage/$4,050 if you cover any dependents). In addition, if you enroll in the Consumer Driven Health Option and contribute to the Health Savings Account and the Health Care Spending Account for 2007, your Health Care Spending Account will be limited to dental and vision expenses only. You will not be able to use your Health Care Spending Account to pay for medical expenses, so please plan your contributions accordingly. • Child/Elder Care Spending Account: You can set aside from $240 to $5,000 ($2,500 if married and filing separately) a year on a before-tax basis to pay for eligible out-of-pocket dependent care expenses. (Certain IRS limits may apply for certain highly compensated employees. Please see “Child/Elder Care Limit for Highly Compensated Employees” on page 20.) • Transportation Spending Accounts: You may contribute up to $105 per month in the Transit Account and up to $200 per month in the Parking Account on a before-tax basis. If your commuting expenses exceed these amounts, the balance of the cost will be deducted from your pay on an after-tax basis.

Important Note for U.S. Home-Based Expatriate Employees You will not be eligible to participate in the Transportation Spending Accounts while you are working outside the United States.

COOR D I N AT I N G W I T H YO U R S P O U S E If your spouse has a Health Care Spending Account at JPMorgan Chase or at another employer, by law you cannot claim reimbursement for any expenses your spouse has claimed.

Important Details About Your Coverage • Don’t Lose Out. Estimate your expenses carefully. Based on Internal Revenue Service (IRS) rules, you will forfeit any money left in your Child/Elder Care Spending Account on December 31 of the plan year and in your Health Care Spending Account on March 15 following the plan year after all eligible expenses have been reimbursed. You have until April 30 following the plan year to submit claims for eligible expenses under both accounts. • Limited Reimbursement for Health Care Spending Account Expenses With a Health Savings Account. Because of the tax advantages offered by Health Savings Accounts and the Health Care Spending Account when used for medical expenses, the government places certain restrictions on these types of benefit plans when offered together. If you enroll in the Consumer Driven Health Option and contribute to the Health Savings Account and the Health Care Spending Account for 2007, your Health Care Spending Account will be limited to dental and vision expenses only. You will not be able to use your Health Care Spending Account to pay for medical expenses, so please plan your contributions accordingly. • Eligible Expenses. Under current tax law, not all out-of-pocket expenses are eligible for reimbursement. For example, cosmetic surgery and health care premiums are not considered eligible expenses under the Health Care Spending Account. Similarly, expenses under the Child/Elder Care Spending Account are not reimbursable unless you include the provider’s Social Security or tax identification number (unless the provider is a non-profit organization). • Separate Accounts. You cannot mix money between the two accounts. Whatever you contribute to the Health Care Spending Account must be used for health care expenses; whatever you contribute to the Child/Elder Care Spending Account must be used for dependent care expenses. • Federal Income Tax Credit. The Internal Revenue Code prevents you from taking the federal dependent care tax credit on your personal income tax form for expenses reimbursed through your Child/Elder Care Spending Account. You may wish to consult with your personal financial advisor to determine which is better given your personal financial situation. • When Participation Begins. The Health Care Spending Account and/or Child/Elder Care Spending Account elections you make during your designated enrollment period begin January 1, 2007. For the Transportation Spending Accounts, you must make your elections, changes, or cancellations by the first of the month prior to the month in which you wish to participate. • For Additional Information. If you have questions about eligibility or enrolling in the Health Care Spending Account and/or Child/Elder Care Spending Account, please call the Benefits Call Center through accessHR at 1-877-JPMChase (1-877-576-2427) and speak with a Service Representative (Quick Path: Enter your Standard ID or Social Security number; press 1; enter your PIN; press 1).

Child/Elder Care Limit for Highly Compensated Employees Certain IRS limits may apply to the Child/Elder Care Spending Account for certain highly compensated employees. In 2006, you were considered a highly compensated employee if your W-2 compensation was $100,000 or more in 2006. The earnings for what constitutes a highly compensated employee may change, and the contribution limit in 2007 for affected employees could be lower than their elected amounts. If you are affected, you will be notified of the applicable 2007 contribution limit early in 2007 after the required IRS comparisons are complete. This IRS rule does not affect the Health Care Spending Account contribution maximum of $8,000.

Enrolling for Long-Term Disability (LTD) Insurance The JPMorgan Chase Long-Term Disability (LTD) Plan offers you different levels of income protection if you are disabled for more than 26 weeks. The LTD Plan can provide eligible employees with a monthly benefit equal to a percentage of your benefits pay up to a maximum benefits pay of $700,000. Your long-term disability benefit will be offset by benefits you receive from other disability programs, such as Social Security or workers’ compensation. The Hartford Life and Accident Insurance Company is the plan’s insurance carrier. Important Note: If you elect “No Coverage” under the LTD Plan, you will not receive income protection benefits beyond those provided under the JPMorgan Chase Short-Term Disability Leave Policy and your participation in certain JPMorgan Chase benefits plans (such as Medical, Dental, and Retirement) will end unless you return to work. (Please see “The Additional Advantages of Electing LTD Coverage” below for more information on how elected LTD coverage can affect certain other benefits.)

LT D O PT I O N S You can choose your long-term disability coverage from among the following options: • Replacement of 50% of benefits pay; • Replacement of 60% of benefits pay; • Replacement of 60% of benefits pay plus two-year average annual discretionary cash pay (including annual bonus) paid or deferred (if eligible)* (also known as the 60% of Benefits Pay Plus Bonus Option); or • No Coverage. * Employees paid on a draw-and-commission basis are not eligible for this option.

2007 CO S T O F COV E R A G E You pay for LTD coverage with before-tax dollars, and as a result will generally be required to pay applicable income taxes on any benefits you may eventually receive. Your cost per pay period depends on your benefits pay, the level of coverage you choose, and your status as a non-smoker or smoker. Please see the next page for the definition of benefits pay for the LTD Plan.

The Additional Advantages of Electing LTD Coverage If you qualify to receive benefits under the JPMorgan Chase Long-Term Disability (LTD) Plan, you will also continue to be eligible to receive company-sponsored benefits, such as medical and dental (if enrolled), basic life insurance, and pay credits under the Retirement Plan. Please carefully consider these additional advantages when deciding whether to elect LTD coverage.

Important Details About Your Coverage • Defining Benefits Pay for the LTD Plan. Long-term disability coverage for 2007 is based on the option you choose and your LTD benefits pay, which is generally your annual base salary plus applicable job differential pay (e.g., shift pay). It does not include any annual bonuses, overtime, special recognition, or other incentive awards you might receive. In certain situations, your benefits pay may include other cash earnings (e.g., commission, draws, and overrides) paid under certain non-annual incentive plans that provide compensation in lieu of base salary. For the 50% and 60% options, your benefits pay is updated as changes occur throughout the year, subject to plan provisions. Under the 60% of Benefits Pay Plus Bonus Option, your two-year average annual discretionary cash pay (including annual bonus) paid or deferred, if eligible, remains fixed throughout the year for purposes of the LTD Plan. However, any adjustments in your benefits pay will be made throughout the year, as noted above. Under all options, the plan considers benefits pay up to $700,000. Please Note: Separate definitions may apply to employees in certain sales positions who are paid on a draw-and-commission basis. If this situation applies to you, you will be notified. • Separate EOI Form. If you are electing coverage that will provide you with a higher benefit than the coverage on the “Enroll in Your Benefits” screen on the Benefits Web Center, or if you are electing coverage for the first time, you must complete an evidence of insurability (EOI) form that you will receive from the insurance carrier after you enroll. If you do not return this form within the specified time frame, or if it is returned but not approved, the coverage you choose will not take effect. If you decrease or cancel coverage and choose to increase coverage or enroll at a later date, all new coverage will be subject to EOI requirements at the time you make the new election. • Insurance Carrier Approval. The insurance carrier must approve your elections for increased coverage. If your elected coverage is not approved, then the level of coverage shown on the “Enroll in Your Benefits” screen on the Benefits Web Center will be effective for 2007. • Non-Smoker and Smoker Rates for Coverage. Your status as a non-smoker or smoker will affect your contributions under the LTD Plan. For more information on non-smoker and smoker premiums, please see page 6. • Ongoing Certification. If you become disabled, long-term disability benefits are subject to ongoing certification by the insurance carrier. • Mental/Nervous Disorder. There is a two-year limit on benefits paid for a disability resulting from a mental or nervous disorder. For other limitations and specific plan provisions, please contact the insurance carrier directly at the number provided on page 23. (continued on next page)

Important Details About Your Coverage (continued) • Pre-Existing Condition Exclusion. If you were not covered under the LTD Plan previously and you are electing long-term disability coverage for the first time or if you have been participating in the plan for less than one year, long-term disability benefits will not be paid if, during the first 12 months of your coverage, you become disabled as a result of a condition for which you were diagnosed or received treatment during the six months before coverage began. A similar rule applies if you are increasing coverage, except that long-term disability benefits will be paid at the original (lower) coverage level you had before making your 2007 elected increase. • When Coverage Begins. If you make no changes to your LTD coverage, the coverage listed on the “Enroll in Your Benefits” screen on the Benefits Web Center will take effect January 1, 2007. If you elect to reduce or discontinue your LTD coverage during your designated enrollment period, your election also will take effect January 1, 2007. However, if you increase your coverage, the increased coverage amount will become effective on or after January 1, 2007 or the later of the date that the EOI form is approved by the insurance carrier or the date you are actively at work. Payroll deductions will begin as soon as administratively possible following approval. If you are not actively at work due to illness or injury, you can still make elections for new coverage or changes in coverage during your designated enrollment period. However, your new or increased coverage will not become effective until the day after you return to active employment on or after January 1, 2007 (or later if your coverage is subject to an approval of EOI). If you do not return from an approved leave that began before January 1, 2007, your LTD benefit (if any) will be at the previous level. • For Additional Information. If you have questions about eligibility or enrolling in the LTD Plan, please call the Benefits Call Center through accessHR at 1-877-JPMChase (1-877-576-2427) and speak with a Service Representative (Quick Path: Enter your Standard ID or Social Security number; press 1; enter your PIN; press 1).

Enrolling in the Employee Stock Purchase Plan The JPMorgan Chase Employee Stock Purchase Plan allows you to add to your own investment portfolio while sharing in the growth of JPMorgan Chase. Through the Employee Stock Purchase Plan, you can purchase JPMorgan Chase common stock on a quarterly basis at a 5% discount, without a broker’s fee. Taxes on the 5% discount are deferred until you sell or transfer the shares. Any dividends paid on the shares in your account will be used to purchase additional shares of JPMorgan Chase common stock at a 5% discount. Mellon Investor Services (Mellon) is the plan’s administrator.

E M P LOY E E S T O C K P U R C H A S E P L A N O PT I O N S Eligible employees can choose to contribute to the Employee Stock Purchase Plan according to the following options: • You can contribute from $240 per year up to 20% of your benefits pay per pay period on an after-tax basis with a maximum annual contribution of $25,000; or • Elect not to participate.

Important Details About Your Coverage • Defining Benefits Pay for the Employee Stock Purchase Plan. Participation amounts for the Employee Stock Purchase Plan are based on your benefits pay. Benefits pay is generally your annual base salary plus applicable job differential pay (e.g., shift pay). It does not include any annual bonuses, overtime, special recognition, or other incentive awards you might receive. In certain situations, your benefits pay may include other cash earnings (e.g., commission, draws, and overrides) paid under certain non-annual incentive plans that provide compensation in lieu of base salary. Under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan, your benefits pay is updated as changes occur throughout the year. Please Note: Separate definitions may apply to employees in certain sales positions who are paid on a draw-and-commission basis. If this situation applies to you, you will be notified. • Defining Annual Total Cash Compensation. Annual total cash compensation is generally your base salary plus any applicable job differential pay (e.g., shift pay) as of each August 1, plus any cash earnings from any incentive plans (e.g., annual bonus, commissions, draws, overrides, and special recognition payments or incentives) that are paid to or deferred by you for the previous 12-month period ending each July 31. Overtime is not included. For purposes of determining eligibility to participate in the Employee Stock Purchase Plan, your annual total cash compensation is recalculated as of each August 1 to take effect the following January 1 and will remain unchanged throughout the year. For most employees hired on or after August 1, annual total cash compensation will be equal to base salary plus job differentials. Please Note: Separate definitions may apply to employees in certain sales positions who are paid on a draw-and-commission basis. If this situation applies to you, you will be notified. • Eligibility. You will be eligible to participate in the Employee Stock Purchase Plan for 2007 if you will have completed 90 days of service by December 31, 2006, and you enroll during your designated enrollment period. If you don’t enroll now, your next opportunity to participate will be in 2008. Please Note: Employees whose annual total cash compensation is $250,000 or more are not eligible to participate in the plan. (Please see above for the definition of “Annual Total Cash Compensation.”) If you are no longer eligible to participate in the Employee Stock Purchase Plan, any dividends on shares previously purchased and held in your account at Mellon by active employees will continue to be used to purchase shares at the 5% discount. If you are currently participating in the plan and are affected by this change, you will be notified following annual enrollment.

Important Details About Your Coverage (continued) • A Word About Taxes. Under current law, you do not pay any U.S. taxes on shares you hold. This is true whether the shares are held in the Employee Stock Purchase Plan or issued to you as a withdrawal. If you sell the shares, you will owe federal income taxes on the 5% discount you received at the time of purchase, as well as on any increase in the stock price. Taxes may also be affected by the amount of time you held the shares and other factors. In addition, you may owe separate state and local income taxes. Also, if you live outside the United States, different tax rules may apply. You should consult a personal tax advisor on these issues. The actual price paid for shares is documented on your statement. Please keep all statements for tax purposes. Dividends are reportable as taxable income for the year in which they are credited to your account. You owe taxes on these dividend payments. All participants in the Employee Stock Purchase Plan will receive a record of any dividend payments on IRS Form 1099, which will be provided on an annual basis. • When Participation Begins. If you make no changes to your current Employee Stock Purchase Plan election, then your current contribution amount listed on the “Enroll in Your Benefits” screen on the Benefits Web Center will continue for 2007. The contribution amount you elect during your designated enrollment period takes effect January 1, 2007. • For Additional Information. If you have any questions about eligibility or enrolling in the Employee Stock Purchase Plan, please call the Benefits Call Center through accessHR at 1-877-JPMChase (1-877-576-2427) and speak with a Service Representative (Quick Path: Enter your Standard ID or Social Security number; press 1; enter your PIN; press 1).
