TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF OCTOBER 20, 2005
STOCK APPRECIATION AWARDS
     
Award Agreement
  These terms and conditions are made part of the Award Agreement dated as of October 20, 2005 (“Grant Date”) awarding stock appreciation rights (referred to as “Stock Appreciation Awards”) pursuant to the terms of the JPMorgan Chase & Co. 2005 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 supercede any other agreement, whether written or oral, that may have been entered into by the Firm and you relating to this award.
 
   
 
  The grant of this award is contingent upon your acceptance of this Award Agreement. Unless you decline by the deadline and in the manner specified in the Award Agreement, you will have accepted this award and be bound by these terms and conditions, effective as of the Grant Date. If you decline the award, the award will not become effective and 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 Awards 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 Awards being exercised. The Firm will retain from each distribution the number of shares of Common Stock required to satisfy tax withholding obligations.
 
   
 
  The purpose of this award is to motivate your future performance and to align your interests with those of the Firm and its shareholders.
 
   
Exercisable Dates/Expiration Date
  Your award will 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. 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. No Stock Appreciation Award may be exercised after its Expiration Date.
 
   
Termination of Employment
  Except as explicitly set forth below, any Stock Appreciation Awards outstanding under this award will be cancelled effective on the date your employment with the Firm terminates for any reason.
 
   
 
       Job Elimination:
 
  In the event that the Director Human Resources of the Firm or his nominee in his sole discretion determines that the Firm terminated your employment because your job was eliminated, then any Stock Appreciation Awards that were exercisable on your termination date will remain exercisable for the ninety day period immediately following your termination date, but in no event beyond the Expiration Date. In the case of a job elimination as described above, if your termination date is on or after October 20, 2006 and prior to October 20, 2008, then twenty percent of your Stock Appreciation Award will become exercisable on

 


 

     
October 20, 2005 Stock Appreciation Awards (continued...)
  the date your employment terminates and will remain exercisable for the ninety day period following your employment termination date.
 
   
 
  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, to have all or any portion of your award remain exercisable for such ninety day period. If you fail to return the required release within the specified deadline, your outstanding Stock Appreciation Awards will be cancelled. In the event that you meet the requirements for both job elimination and retirement as described in the following section, you will be accorded job elimination treatment for the purposes of your award.
 
   
 
       Retirement:
 
  If your employment terminates for reasons other than “Cause” after you reach age 55 and complete at least 15 years of Cumulative Service of which at least the 5 years immediately preceding termination of employment are continuous, then any Stock Appreciation Awards that were exercisable as of the date of your termination will remain exercisable for a ninety day period following your termination date but in no event beyond the Expiration Date.
 
   
 
       Death or Total Disability:
 
  In lieu of the number of Stock Appreciation Awards that become exercisable as set forth in your Award Agreement, if you die while employed by the Firm, or 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), then twenty percent of your award will become exercisable for each completed year of service from the Grant Date to the date of your termination of employment. Such outstanding Stock Appreciation Awards will remain exercisable by you (or your beneficiary in the case of your death) for a ninety-day period following the date of termination of your employment but in no event beyond the Expiration Date. In the case of death, your beneficiary is the designated beneficiary on file with the Human Resources Department, or if no beneficiary has been designated or survives you, then your estate.
 
   
 
  Any Stock Appreciation Awards that are not exercised within the applicable 90-day period set forth above will be cancelled.
 
   
 
  The definitions of Cause and Cumulative Service are found on page 5.
 
   
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. 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
  As consideration for 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, 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 or encourage any of the Firm’s then current employees to leave the Firm or to apply for employment elsewhere;

3


 

     
October 20, 2005 Stock Appreciation Awards (continued...)
   
 
  (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, 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.
 
   
     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.
 
   
Remedies
  If you violate any of the provisions as set forth above in “Your Obligations” all outstanding Stock Appreciation Awards under your award and any shares that are subject to the restriction on disposition of shares described above will be immediately cancelled.
 
   
 
  In addition, if you do not have shares subject to the restriction on disposition of shares but you received shares under this award resulting from an exercise during the one year prior to (i) the violation of any of these obligations or (ii) the termination of your employment for Cause, you will be required to pay the Firm liquidated damages by returning to the Firm either (i) a cash amount equal to the gain on exercise (as of the exercise date) less withholding taxes, or (ii) the net number of shares of Common Stock that were distributed pursuant to the exercise.
 
   
 
  You agree that this payment will be liquidated damages and is not to be construed in any manner as a penalty. You acknowledge that a violation or attempted violation of these obligations 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 terms; 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.
 
   
Not a Shareholder Until Exercise
  You shall not be deemed for any purpose to be or have rights as a shareholder of JPMorgan Chase with respect to the shares of Common Stock subject to Stock Appreciation Awards until such Stock Appreciation Awards are exercised. No adjustments shall be made for cash dividends or distributions or other rights for which the record date is prior to the date you become a shareholder of record of JPMorgan Chase. Shares upon exercise will be issued in accordance with JPMorgan Chase’s procedures for issuing stock.
 
   
Administrative Provisions
  The Award Agreement will be binding upon any successor in interest to JPMorgan Chase, by merger or otherwise.
 
   
 
  The exercise of Stock Appreciation Awards 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. 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.
 
   
 
  Except as provided in the next succeeding sentence, Stock Appreciation Awards shall not be assignable or transferable or subject to any lien, obligation or liability. You may make a gift of unexpired, unexercised Stock Appreciation Awards, 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 Awards 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.
 
   
 
  JPMorgan Chase may, in its sole discretion and for any reason, cancel outstanding unexercised Stock Appreciation Awards 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 Awards. Such substituted options shall have the same exercise price, Expiration Date and other terms and conditions that were applicable to the Stock Appreciation Awards; 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.
 
   
 
  In the event you are approved for a voluntary discretionary leave in excess of one month, and any equivalent leaves globally as determined by region HR management (e.g., leaves that do not qualify as FMLA, Medical or Disability),

October 20, 2005 Stock Appreciation Awards (continued...)
   
 
  the Exercisable Date of any outstanding Stock Appreciation Award will be extended by the length of the leave (rounded to full months) in accordance with the Firm’s policy for such leaves.
 
   
 
  Nothing contained in the Award Agreement constitutes a contract of continued employment. Employment is at-will and may be terminated by either you or JPMorgan Chase for any reason at any time.
 
   
 
  This Award Agreement may not be amended except in writing signed by the Director Human Resources of JPMorgan Chase.
 
   
 
  If any portion of the above provisions is found to be unenforceable, any court of competent jurisdiction may reform the restrictions as to time, geographical area or scope to the extent required to make the provision enforceable under applicable law.
 
   
 
  JPMorgan Chase’s failure to enforce any provision of the Award Agreement or similar awards and agreements, either with respect to you or other former or current employees, will not constitute a waiver of its right to enforce the Award Agreement with respect to any prior or subsequent breach of the Award Agreement, including the right to pursue any and all available remedies for the breach.
 
   
 
  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.
 
   
 
  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 and application of the post-employment obligations; (iii) 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.
 
   
 
  The Board of JPMorgan Chase and the Compensation and Management Development Committee of the Board reserve the right to amend this Award Agreement at any time and for any reason before a change in control of JPMorgan Chase, as such term is defined by the Board from time to time. After a change in control of JPMorgan Chase, this Award Agreement may not be amended in any way that is adverse to your interests without your prior written consent.
 
   
Definitions
  Cause means (i) breach of any rule or regulation of any regulatory authority having jurisdiction over the Firm; (ii) indictment or conviction of a felony or for any fraudulent act, embezzlement, theft or a crime of moral turpitude; (iii) failure to perform your duties or abide by the work ethic of the Firm or to follow reasonable directives of your manager within the scope of your duties; (iv) a violation of the JPMorgan Chase Code of Conduct or human resources policies; (v) any act or failure to act that is injurious to the Firm, monetarily or otherwise, in each case as determined in the sole discretion of the Director Human Resources or his delegate.
 
   
 
  Cumulative Service has the meaning set forth in the JPMorgan Chase Retirement Plan.
