This document constitutes Final Terms relating to the issue of Notes described herein. Terms used herein shall be deemed to be defined as such for the purposes of the Conditions set forth in the Base Prospectus dated 19 June 2008 as incorporated into the Base Prospectus dated 15 June 2010 which constitutes a base prospectus (the "Base Prospectus") for the purposes of the Prospectus Directive (Directive 2003/71/EC) (the "Prospectus Directive"). This document constitutes the Final Terms of the Notes described herein for the purposes of Article 5.4 of the Prospectus Directive and must be read in conjunction with such Base Prospectus. Full information on the Issuer and the offer of the Notes is only available on the basis of the combination of these Final Terms and the Base Prospectus. Copies of the Base Prospectus are available from the offices of Morgan Stanley & Co. International plc at 25 Cabot Square, Canary Wharf, London E14 4QA.

Information Concerning Investment Risk

Noteholders and prospective purchasers of Notes should ensure that they understand the nature of the Notes and the extent of their exposure to risk and that they consider the suitability of the Notes as an investment in the light of their own circumstances and financial condition. The Notes will be redeemed at an amount determined by reference to the relative performance of the Index (as defined in paragraph 20). The relative performance of the Index will therefore affect the nature and value of the investment return on the Notes. Noteholders and prospective purchasers of Notes should conduct their own investigations and, in deciding whether or not to purchase Notes, prospective purchasers should form their own views of the merits of an

investment linked to the Index based upon such investigations and not in reliance on any information given in these Final Terms.

Given the highly specialised nature of these Notes, the Issuer and Morgan Stanley & Co. International plc ("MSI plc") consider that they are only suitable for sophisticated investors who are able to determine for themselves the risk of an investment linked to the Index. Consequently, if you are not an investor who falls within the description above you should not consider purchasing these Notes without taking detailed advice from a specialised professional adviser.

Adjustments: The terms and conditions of the Notes will allow the Determination Agent to make adjustments or take any other appropriate action if circumstances occur where the Notes or any exchanges are affected by market disruption, corporate events or circumstances affecting normal activities.

Adjustment and Discontinuation Risk: The Sponsor of the Index can add, delete or substitute elements constituting the Index or make other methodological changes that could change the value of the Index without regard to the interests of holders of the Notes. Any of these decisions/determinations may adversely affect the value of the Notes and may result in the investor receiving a return that is materially different from that he/she would have received if the event had not occurred.

Credit Risk: The holder of the Notes will be exposed to the credit risk of the Issuer.

Exit Risk: The secondary market price of the Notes will depend on many factors, including interest rates, time remaining to maturity and the creditworthiness of the Issuer. Therefore the holder may receive an amount which may be less that the then intrinsic market value of the Notes and which may also be less than the amount the holder would have received had the holder held the Notes through to maturity.

Hedging Risk: On or prior to and after the Trade Date, the Issuer, through its affiliates or others, will likely hedge its anticipated exposure under the Notes by taking positions, in option contracts on the Index or positions in any other available securities or instruments.

Liquidity Risk: Any secondary market in the Notes made by the Dealer will be made on a reasonable efforts basis only and subject to market conditions, law, regulation and internal policy. Even whilst there may be a secondary market in the Notes it may not be liquid enough to facilitate a sale by the holder.

Potential Conflict of Interest: The Determination Agent (MSI plc) is an affiliate of the Issuer and the economic interests of the Determination Agent may be adverse to the interests of holders of the Notes. Determinations made by the Determination Agent, including in the event of a Currency Disruption Event (as defined herein) may affect the amount payable to holders pursuant to the terms of the Notes.

Underlying Rate Risk: The coupon payments depend on the level of the underlying inflation Index. There is a risk that the coupon payments could be zero. The principal amount is protected only at maturity. If investors sell the notes prior to maturity, there is a risk that the secondary market price could be substantially less than 100%. The price of the notes prior to maturity will depend on numerous factors including interest rate movements, interest rate volatility, perception of the issuer's credit quality and time to maturity.

Underlying Sponsor Risk: The Sponsor of the Index is not an affiliate of the Issuer or its affiliates and is not involved with this offering in any way. Consequently, the Issuer and the Determination Agent have no ability to the actions of the sponsor of the Index, including any rebalancing that could trigger an adjustment to the terms of the Notes by the Determination Agent.

Other considerations: The original issue price of the Notes includes the agent's commissions paid with respect to the Notes and the cost of hedging the Issuer's obligations under the Notes. The cost of hedging includes the

projected profit that the Issuer's subsidiaries may realize in consideration for assuming the risks inherent in managing the hedging transactions. The subsidiaries through which the Issuer hedges its obligations under the Notes expect to make a profit. Since hedging the Issuer's obligations entails risk and may be influenced by market forces beyond the control of the Issuer or its subsidiaries, such hedging may result in a profit that is more or less than initially projected, or could result in a loss.

Assuming no change in market conditions or any other relevant factors, the price, if any, at which MSI plc is willing to purchase Notes in secondary market transactions will likely be lower than the original issue price, since the original issue price includes, and secondary market prices are likely to exclude, commissions paid with respect to the Notes as well as the projected profit included in the cost of hedging the Issuer's obligations under the Notes. In addition, any such prices may differ from values determined by pricing models used by MSI plc, as a result of dealer discounts, mark-ups or other transaction costs.

In purchasing any Notes, purchasers will be deemed to represent and undertake to the Issuer, the Dealer and each of their affiliates that (i) such purchaser understands the risks and potential consequences associated with the purchase of the Notes, (ii) that such purchaser has consulted with its own legal, regulatory, investment, accounting, tax and other advisers to extent it believes is appropriate to assist it in understanding and evaluating the risks involved in, and the consequences of, purchasing the Notes and (iii) in accordance with the terms set out in Annex 1.
