GLOBAL MEDIUM-TERM NOTES, SERIES F

Senior Notes Trigger Securities due August 31, 2012

Based on the Performance of a Hybrid Basket Composed of

Shares of the iShares ® MSCI Emerging Markets Index Fund and Gold

Unlike ordinary debt securities, the Trigger Securities due August 31, 2012 Based on the Performance of a Hybrid Basket Composed of Shares of the iShares ® MSCI Emerging Markets Index Fund and Gold, which we refer to as the securities, do not pay interest and do not guarantee any return of principal at maturity. Instead, at maturity, you will receive for each $1,000 stated principal amount of securities that you hold an amount in cash based on the performance, during the observation period and on the valuation date, of a weighted basket composed of shares of the iShares ® MSCI Emerging Markets Index Fund (70%), which we refer to as the EEM shares, and gold (30%), which we refer to, together with the EEM shares, as the basket components. If the basket as a whole declines in value on the valuation date and if the basket has decreased in value by an amount equal to or greater than 35% from its initial value on any trading day during the observation period , the payment at maturity will be less, and may be significantly less, than the $1,000 stated principal amount. As there is no minimum payment at maturity on the securities, you could lose your entire investment. The securities are senior unsecured obligations of Morgan Stanley, and all payments on the securities are subject to the credit risk of Morgan Stanley .

• The stated principal amount of each security is $1,000.

• We will not pay interest on the securities.

• At maturity, you will receive an amount per security based on the performance of the basket on the valuation date and during the observation period.

º If the basket percent increase is positive, you will receive a payment at maturity equal to $1,000 plus the upside payment. The upside payment will equal $1,000 times the basket percent increase times 100%, which we refer to as the participation rate, subject to a maximum payment at maturity of $1,330, or 133% of the stated principal amount.

º If the final basket performance factor is less than or equal to 100% but the basket performance factor has not decreased to or below the trigger level of 65% on any trading day during the observation period , you will receive a payment at maturity equal to the $1,000 stated principal amount.

º If the final basket performance factor is less than or equal to 100% and the basket performance factor has decreased to or below the trigger level of 65% on one or more trading days during the observation period, you will receive a payment at maturity equal to $1,000 times the final basket performance factor, which will be an amount equal to or less than the $1,000 stated principal amount and which may be zero.

• The basket percent increase will equal the sum of the products of (i) the final price for each basket component minus the initial price for such basket component divided by the initial price of such basket component times (ii) the basket weighting for such basket component.

º The initial price for each basket component is equal to (i) in the case of the EEM shares, $40.50, which is the closing price of one share of the EEM shares on the pricing date and (ii) in the case of gold, $1,235, which is the afternoon gold fixing price per troy ounce of gold for delivery in London through a member of the London Bullion Market Association (the “LBMA”) authorized to effect such delivery, stated in U.S. dollars, as calculated by the London Gold Market and published by the LBMA on the pricing date. The determination of the initial price of each basket component will be subject to postponement for each basket component separately in the event of a market disruption event on the pricing date.

º The final price for each basket component will equal the basket component price for such basket component on the valuation date.

º The basket component price on any trading day will equal (i) in the case of the EEM shares, the closing price of one share of the EEM shares on such trading day times the adjustment factor on such day and (ii) in the case of gold, the price corresponding to that set out in the definition of initial price above, on such trading day.

º The adjustment factor for the EEM shares will initially be set at 1.0 and may be adjusted to reflect certain corporate events affecting the EEM shares.

• The basket performance factor will equal the sum of the products of (i) the basket component price for each basket component divided by the initial price for such basket component times (ii) the basket weighting for such basket component.

• The final basket performance factor will equal the basket performance factor on the valuation date.

• The observation period will be each trading day on which there is no market disruption event with respect to either basket component during the period from but excluding the pricing date to and including the valuation date.

• The valuation date will be August 28, 2012, subject to postponement for each basket component separately in the event of a non-trading day or a market disruption event.

• Investing in the securities is not equivalent to investing in the basket or the basket components.

• The securities will not be listed on any securities exchange.

• The CUSIP number for the securities is 617482ND2. The ISIN for the securities is US617482ND24.

SUMMARY OF PRICING SUPPLEMENT

The following summary describes the securities in general terms only. You should read the summary together with the more detailed information that is contained in the rest of this pricing supplement and in the accompanying prospectus and prospectus supplement. You should carefully consider, among other things, the matters set forth in “Risk Factors.”

The securities are medium-term debt securities of Morgan Stanley. The return on the securities at maturity is based on the performance, during the observation date and on the valuation date, of a weighted basket composed of shares of the iShares ® MSCI Emerging Markets Index Fund, which we refer to as the EEM shares, and gold, which we refer to, together with the EEM shares, as the basket components. If the basket declines in value on the valuation date and if the basket has decreased in value by an amount equal to or greater than 35% from its initial value on any trading day during the observation period , the payment at maturity will be less, and may be significantly less, than the $1,000 stated principal amount. There is no minimum payment at maturity on the securities. The securities are senior unsecured obligations of Morgan Stanley, and all payments on the securities are subject to the credit risk of Morgan Stanley.

“iShares ® ” is a registered trademark of BlackRock Institutional Trust Company. The iShares ® MSCI Emerging Markets Index Fund and the MSCI Emerging Markets Index are described under “Description of Securities––The EEM Shares” and “––The MSCI Emerging Markets Index SM ” in this pricing supplement.

Each security costs $1,000 We, Morgan Stanley, are offering Trigger Securities due August 31, 2012 Based on the Performance of a Hybrid Basket Composed of Shares of the iShares ® MSCI Emerging Markets Index Fund and Gold (the “securities”). The stated principal amount and issue price of each security is $1,000.
The original issue price of the securities includes the agent’s commissions paid with respect to the securities and the cost of hedging our obligations under the securities. The cost of hedging includes the projected profit that our subsidiaries may realize in consideration for assuming the risks inherent in managing the hedging transactions. The fact that the original issue price of the securities includes these commissions and hedging costs is expected to adversely affect the secondary market prices of the securities. These secondary market prices are also likely to be reduced by the costs of unwinding the related hedging transactions. See “Risk Factors—The inclusion of commissions and projected profit from hedging in the original issue price is likely to adversely affect secondary market prices” and “Description of Securities—Use of Proceeds and Hedging.”
The securities do not guarantee return of any of the principal; no interest Unlike ordinary debt securities, the securities do not pay interest and do not guarantee the return of any principal at maturity. If the basket as a whole remains unchanged or declines in value on the valuation date and if the basket has decreased in value by an amount equal to or greater than 35% from its initial value on any trading day during the observation period, we will pay to you an amount in cash per security that is less than the $1,000 stated principal amount by an amount proportionate to the decline in the value of the basket on the valuation date. This amount will be less than or equal to the $1,000 stated principal amount and as there is no minimum payment on the securities, you could lose your entire investment.
The basket We have designed the securities to provide investors with exposure to the emerging equity markets and to gold. The exposure to emerging equity markets, at 70% of the basket, is significantly more heavily weighted than gold, which has a 30% weighting. The following table sets forth the basket components, and the initial price and the percentage weighting of each basket component within the basket:

PS-3

Basket Component Initial price Basket Component Weighting
Shares of the iShares ® MSCI Emerging Markets Index Fund (the “EEM shares”) $40.50 70%
Gold $1,235 30%
Payment at maturity based on the performance of the basket
• If the basket percent increase is positive, you will receive for each $1,000 stated principal amount of securities that you hold a payment at maturity equal to:
$1,000 + the upside payment,
subject to a maximum payment at maturity of $1,330 per security
where,
upside payment = $1,000 x basket percent increase x participation rate
basket percent increase = The sum of the products of (x) the final price for each basket component minus the initial price for such basket component divided by the initial price of such basket component times (y) the basket component weighting for such basket component. Each such product for a basket component may be expressed by the following formula:
and
participation rate = 100%
The initial prices will equal: (i) in the case of the EEM shares, $40.50, which is the closing price of one share of the EEM shares on the pricing date, (ii) in the case of the gold, $1,235, which is the afternoon gold fixing price per troy ounce of gold for delivery in London through a member of the London Bullion Market Association (the “LBMA”) authorized to effect such delivery, stated in U.S. dollars, as calculated by the London Gold Market and published by the LBMA on the pricing date.
The final prices will equal the basket component prices on the valuation date. The basket component prices on any trading day will equal: (i) in the case of the EEM shares, the closing price of one share of the EEM shares on such trading day times the adjustment factor on such day, (ii) in the case of gold, the afternoon gold fixing price per troy ounce of gold for delivery in London through a member of the LBMA authorized to effect such delivery, stated in U.S. dollars, as calculated by the London Gold Market and published by the LBMA on such trading day.

PS-4

The adjustment factor will be initially set at 1.0 and is subject to change upon certain corporate events affecting the EEM shares. The final price of the basket components will be based on the prices of the basket components on the valuation date. The scheduled valuation date is August 28, 2012. If, however, with respect to any basket component, the scheduled valuation date is not a trading day or if a market disruption event occurs with respect to a basket component on the valuation date, the valuation date will be postponed, only with respect to the affected basket component, to the next trading day on which no market disruption event occurs with respect to that basket component. If, due to a market disruption event, the final price for any basket component has not been determined on the third trading day following the scheduled valuation date, the calculation agent will determine the final price for that basket component as set out in the section of this pricing supplement called “Description of Securities—Final Price.” If due to a market disruption event or otherwise, the valuation date is postponed and falls less than two business days prior to the scheduled maturity date, the maturity date will be postponed to the second business day following the last date by which the final price for both basket components was determined. See the section of this pricing supplement called “Description of Securities—Maturity Date.” Because the performance of the basket components may not be correlated, a negative performance by one of the basket components could wholly offset a positive performance by the other basket component. Furthermore, the basket components do not have the same basket component weightings and the EEM shares have a significantly higher weighting in the basket of 70%. Because of the unequal basket component weightings, the same percentage change over the term of the securities in each of the basket components would have different effects on the value of the basket. • If the final basket performance factor is less than or equal to 100% but the basket performance factor has not decreased to or below the trigger level of 65% on any trading day during the observation period, you will receive for each $1,000 stated principal amount of securities that you hold a payment at maturity equal to: $1,000 • If the final basket performance factor is less than or equal to 100% and the basket performance factor has decreased to or below the trigger level of 65% on one or more trading days during the observation period, you will receive for each $1,000 stated principal amount of securities that you hold a payment at maturity equal to: $1,000 x the final basket performance factor where,

Final basket performance factor = The basket performance factor on the valuation date

Basket performance factor = The sum of the products of (x) the basket component price for each basket component divided by the initial price for such basket component times (y) the basket component weighting for such basket component. Each

PS-5

such product may be expressed by the following formula:

Observation period = Each trading day on which there is no market disruption event with respect to either basket component during the period from but excluding the pricing date to and including the valuation date

Because the final basket performance factor will be less than or equal to 1.0, this payment will be less than or equal to the $1,000 stated principal amount. As there is no minimum payment at maturity on the securities, you could lose your entire investment. All payments on the securities are subject to the credit risk of Morgan Stanley.
On PS-8, we have provided examples which illustrate the payout at maturity assuming a range of hypothetical basket performances on the valuation date and during the observation period. The examples do not show every situation that may occur.
You can review a table of the historical values and related graphs of each of the basket components for each calendar quarter in the period from January 1, 2005 through August 27, 2010, and a graph of the historical performance of the basket for the period from January 1, 2005 through August 27, 2010 (assuming that each of the basket components is weighted in the basket as described in “Description of Securities—Basket”) in this pricing supplement under “Description of Securities—Historical Information” and “—Historical Graph.” You cannot predict the future performance of the basket components or of the basket as a whole, whether an increase in the value of one basket component will be offset by a decrease in the value of the other basket component or whether the basket performance factor will decrease to or below the trigger level on any trading day during the observation period based on their historical performance.
Investing in the securities is not equivalent to investing in the basket or in either of the basket components.
The securities have limited appreciation potential The appreciation potential of the securities is limited to 133% of the stated principal amount. Accordingly, even if the basket percent increase is greater than 33%, you will only receive the maximum payment at maturity of $1,330 per security, or 133% of the stated principal amount. See “Hypothetical Payouts on the Securities at Maturity” on PS-8.

PS-6

MS & Co. will be the Calculation Agent We have appointed our affiliate, Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated or its successors, which we refer to as MS & Co., to act as calculation agent for The Bank of New York Mellon, a New York banking corporation (as successor trustee to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.), the trustee for our senior unsecured notes. As calculation agent, MS & Co. has determined the initial price and will determine the final price for each basket component, whether the basket performance factor has decreased to or below the trigger level on any trading day during the observation period, and will calculate the payment to you at maturity. The calculation agent will also determine whether a market disruption event has occurred and, under certain circumstances, calculate the basket component prices.
MS & Co. will be the agent; conflicts of interest The agent for the offering of the securities, MS & Co., our wholly-owned subsidiary, will conduct this offering in compliance with the requirements of NASD Rule 2720 of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc., which is commonly referred to as FINRA, regarding a FINRA member firm’s distribution of securities of an affiliate and related conflicts of interest. MS & Co. or any of our other affiliates may not make sales in this offering to any discretionary account. See “Description of Securities—Supplemental Information Concerning Plan of Distribution; Conflicts of Interest” on PS-45.
Where you can find more information on the securities The securities are senior unsecured notes issued as part of our Series F medium-term note program. You can find a general description of our Series F medium-term note program in the accompanying prospectus supplement dated December 23, 2008 and prospectus dated December 23, 2008. We describe the basic features of this type of security in the sections of the prospectus supplement called “Description of Notes—Notes Linked to Commodity Prices, Single Securities, Baskets of Securities or Indices” and in the section of the prospectus called “Description of Debt Securities—Fixed Rate Debt Securities.”
Because this is a summary, it does not contain all of the information that may be important to you. For a detailed description of the terms of the securities, you should read the section of this pricing supplement called “Description of Securities.” You should also read about some of the risks involved in investing in the securities in the section of this pricing supplement called “Risk Factors.” The tax and accounting treatment of investments in equity and commodity-linked securities such as these may differ from that of investments in ordinary debt securities. See the section of this pricing supplement called “Description of Securities—United States Federal Taxation.” You should consult with your investment, legal, tax, accounting and other advisers with regard to any proposed or actual investment in the securities.

HYPOTHETICAL PAYOUTS ON THE SECURITIES AT MATURITY

The following tables illustrate the payment at maturity on the securities for a range of hypothetical basket performances during the observation period, including on the valuation date. Because the value of the basket may be subject to significant fluctuation during the observation period, it is not possible to present a chart or table illustrating the complete range of possible payouts at maturity. The following examples are intended to illustrate how the payment at maturity will depend on (i) the performance of the basket on the valuation date, (ii) whether the basket performance factor has decreased to or below the trigger level on any trading day during the observation period and (iii) the maximum payment at maturity.

The hypothetical examples are based on the following terms:

Stated principal amount per security: $1,000
Trigger level: 65%
Participation rate: 100%
Maximum payment at maturity: $1,330 per security
Minimum payment at maturity: None

TABLE 1 : The basket percent increase is positive. This table represents the hypothetical payment at maturity on a $1,000 investment in the securities when the basket has appreciated in value on the valuation date such that the basket percent increase is positive. In this scenario, any decrease of the basket performance factor to or below the trigger level on any trading day during the observation period is irrelevant to the payment at maturity. In each case, the payment at maturity is subject to the maximum payment at maturity, and investors will realize the maximum payment at maturity of $1,330 per security at a basket percent increase of 33%.

Hypothetical basket percent increase Has the basket performance factor declined to or below the trigger level during the observation period? Payment at maturity
5% Yes $1,050
10% Yes $1,100
20% No $1,200
33% Yes $1,330
50% No $1,330
85% No $1,330

Below is a full example of how to calculate the payment at maturity if the basket percent increase is positive. The initial and final prices below are hypothetical prices and do not reflect the actual prices for the basket components.

Basket Component % Weight in Basket Hypothetical Initial price Hypothetical Final price Percentage Change
EEM shares 70% $40 $42 + 5%
Gold 30% $1,000 $1,050 + 5%

Basket Percent Increase = sum of (x) the final price for each basket component minus the initial price for such basket component divided by the initial price of such basket component times (y) the basket component weighting for such basket component:

[(final EEM shares price – initial EEM shares price) / initial EEM shares price] x 70%; plus

PS-8

[(final gold price – initial gold price) / initial gold price] x 30%

So, using the final prices above:

EEM shares = [($42 – $40) / $40] x 70% = 3.5%; plus

gold = [($1,050 – $1,000) / $1,000] x 30% = 1.5%

which equals

basket percent increase = 5%

The upside payment will equal (i) $1,000 times (ii) the basket percent increase times (iii) the participation rate, or:

$1,000 x 5% x 100% = $50

As this amount would not result in a payment at maturity that would exceed the maximum payment at maturity of $1,330 per security, the payment at maturity will equal $1,000 plus the upside payment, or:

$1,000 + $50 = $1,050

TABLE 2: The final basket performance factor is less than or equal to 100% but the basket performance factor has not declined to or below the trigger level on any trading day during the observation period. In this table, a final basket performance factor of 100% means that the basket has remained unchanged and a final basket performance factor of less than 100% means the basket has declined in value. In this scenario, the payment at maturity is the $1,000 stated principal amount per security.

Hypothetical final basket performance factor Has the basket performance factor declined to or below the trigger level during the observation period? Payment at maturity
66% No $1,000
75% No $1,000
90% No $1,000
100% No $1,000

TABLE 3: The final basket performance factor is less than or equal to 100% and the basket performance factor has declined to or below the trigger level on one or more trading days during the observation period. In this table, a final basket performance factor of 100% means that the basket has remained unchanged and a final basket performance factor of less than 100% means the basket has declined in value. In this scenario, investors are fully exposed to any negative performance of the basket on the valuation date.

Hypothetical final basket performance factor Has the basket performance factor declined to or below the trigger level during the observation period? Payment at maturity
0% Yes $0
54% Yes $540
65% Yes $650
75% Yes $750
90% Yes $900
100% Yes $1,000

PS-9

Below is a full example of how to calculate the payment at maturity if the final basket performance factor is less than or equal to 100% and the basket performance factor has declined to or below the trigger level on any trading day during the observation period. The initial and final prices below are hypothetical prices and do not reflect the actual prices for the basket components.

Basket Component % Weight in Basket Hypothetical Initial price Hypothetical Final price Percentage Change
EEM shares 70% $40 $12 –70%
Gold 30% $1,000 $1,100 +10%

Final Basket Performance Factor = the basket performance factor on the valuation date = sum of (x) the final price for each basket component divided by the initial price of such basket component times (y) the basket component weighting for such basket component:

(final EEM shares price / initial EEM shares price) x 70%; plus

(final gold price / initial gold price) x 30%

So, using the final prices above:

EEM shares = ($12 / $40) x 70% = 21%; plus

gold = ($1,100 / $1,000) x 30% = 33%

which equals

final basket performance factor = 54%

In the above example, the payment at maturity per security will equal:

$1,000 times the final basket performance factor, or:

$1,000 x 54% = $540

EFPlaceholder

EFPlaceholder Please review the table of the historical values of each of the basket components for each calendar quarter in the period from January 1, 2005 through August 27, 2010 and related graphs. Please also review the graph of the historical performance of the basket for the period from January 1, 2005 through August 27, 2010 (with each of the basket components weighted in the basket as described in “Description of Securities—Basket”) in this pricing supplement under “Description of Securities—Historical Information” and “—Historical Graph,” which illustrates the effect of the offset and/or correlation among the basket components during such period. You cannot predict the future performance of either of the basket components or of the basket as a whole, whether an increase in the price of one basket component will be offset by a decrease in the price of the other basket component or whether the basket performance factor will decrease to or below the trigger level on any trading day during the observation period based on their historical performance.

RISK FACTORS

The securities are not secured debt, are riskier than ordinary debt securities and, unlike ordinary debt securities, the securities do not pay interest or guarantee any return of principal at maturity. This section describes the most significant risks relating to the securities.

The securities do not pay interest or guarantee the return of any principal The terms of the securities differ from those of ordinary debt securities in that we will not pay you interest on the securities and do not guarantee the return of any principal. Instead, at maturity you will receive for each $1,000 stated principal amount of securities that you hold an amount in cash based on the performance of the basket during the observation period and on the valuation date. Unless the basket percent increase is sufficiently greater than zero, the overall return on your investment in the securities may be less than the return on a conventional debt security of comparable maturity issued by us. If the basket performance factor is less than or equal to the trigger level on one or more trading days during the observation period and the basket performance factor is less than 100% on the valuation date, you will receive an amount in cash at maturity that is less than the $1,000 stated principal amount by an amount proportionate to the percentage depreciation in the value of the basket on the valuation date. This amount will be less, and may be significantly less, than the stated principal amount. As there is no minimum payment at maturity on the securities, you could lose your entire investment.
Appreciation potential is limited The appreciation potential of the securities is limited by the maximum payment at maturity of $1,330, or 133% of the stated principal amount, even if the basket percent increase is greater than 33%.
The securities will not be listed on any securities exchange and secondary trading may be limited The securities will not be listed on any securities exchange. Therefore, there may be little or no secondary market for the securities. MS & Co. may, but is not obligated to, make a market in the securities. Even if there is a secondary market, it may not provide enough liquidity to allow you to trade or sell the securities easily. Because we do not expect that other broker-dealers will participate significantly in the secondary market for the securities, the price at which you may be able to trade your securities is likely to depend on the price, if any, at which MS & Co. is willing to transact. If, at any time, MS & Co. were not to make a market in the securities, it is likely that there would be no secondary market for the securities. Accordingly, you should be willing to hold your securities to maturity.
Market price of the securities may be influenced by many unpredictable factors Several factors, some of which are beyond our control, will influence the value of the securities in the secondary market and the price at which MS & Co. may be willing to purchase or sell the securities in the secondary market, including:
• the value of each of the basket components at any time,
• the volatility (frequency and magnitude of changes in value) of each of the basket components,
• dividends on the EEM shares and on the stocks composing the MSCI Emerging Markets Index,
• interest and yield rates in the markets,
• geopolitical conditions and economic, financial, political, regulatory or judicial events that affect the basket components or stock or commodities markets generally and which may affect the basket component prices,

PS-11

• the exchange rates of the U.S. dollar relative to each of the currencies in which the stocks underlying the MSCI Emerging Markets Index trade,
• trends of supply and demand for gold at any time, as well as the effects of speculation or any government activity that could affect the market for gold,
• the time remaining until the securities mature,
• whether the basket performance factor has decreased to or below the trigger level on any trading day during the observation period,
• the occurrence of certain events affecting the EEM shares that may or may not require an adjustment to the adjustment factor, and
• any actual or anticipated changes in our credit ratings or credit spreads.
Some or all of these factors will influence the price that you will receive if you sell your securities prior to maturity. For example, you may have to sell your securities at a substantial discount from the stated principal amount if the values of the basket components at the time of sale are at or below their initial prices or if market interest rates rise. You cannot predict the future performance of either of the basket components or of the basket as a whole based on their historical performance. There can be no assurance that the basket will appreciate in value such that you will receive at maturity an amount that is greater than the stated principal amount of the securities, or any amount at all. The basket components may be, and have recently been, volatile, and we can give you no assurance that the volatility will lessen. See “Description of Securities—Historical Information.”
The securities are subject to the credit risk of Morgan Stanley, and any actual or anticipated changes to its credit ratings or credit spreads may adversely affect the market value of the securities You are dependent on Morgan Stanley’s ability to pay all amounts due on the securities at maturity and therefore you are subject to the credit risk of Morgan Stanley. If Morgan Stanley defaults on its obligations under the securities, your investment would be at risk and you could lose some or all of your investment. As a result, the market value of the securities prior to maturity will be affected by changes in the market’s view of Morgan Stanley’s creditworthiness. Any actual or anticipated decline in Morgan Stanley’s credit ratings or increase in the credit spreads charged by the market for taking Morgan Stanley credit risk is likely to adversely affect the market value of the securities.
Hedging and trading activity by our subsidiaries could potentially adversely affect the value of the securities One or more of our subsidiaries have carried out, and will continue to carry out, hedging activities related to the securities (and to other instruments linked to the basket components or the stocks underlying the MSCI Emerging Markets Index), including trading in the basket components and the stocks underlying the MSCI Emerging Markets Index as well as in other instruments related to the basket components or the MSCI Emerging Markets Index. Some of our subsidiaries also trade the basket components and other financial instruments related to the basket components and the MSCI Emerging Markets Index on a regular basis as part of their general broker-dealer, commodity trading and other businesses. Any of these hedging or trading activities on or prior to the pricing date could have increased the initial prices of the basket components and, therefore, could have increased the prices at which the basket components must close on the valuation date before you would receive a payment at maturity that exceeds the stated principal amount of the securities and could increase the prices at which the basket components must close during the observation period in order for the basket performance factor to remain above the trigger level. Additionally, such hedging or trading activities during the term of the securities could adversely affect the basket component prices during the

PS-12

observation period, including on the valuation date, and, accordingly, the amount of cash, if any, you will receive at maturity.
The inclusion of commissions and projected profit from hedging in the original issue price is likely to adversely affect secondary market prices Assuming no change in market conditions or any other relevant factors, the price, if any, at which MS & Co. is willing to purchase the securities at any time in secondary market transactions will likely be significantly lower than the original issue price, since secondary market prices are likely to exclude commissions paid with respect to the securities and the cost of hedging our obligations under the securities that are included in the original issue price. The cost of hedging includes the projected profit that our subsidiaries may realize in consideration for assuming the risks inherent in managing the hedging transactions. These secondary market prices are also likely to be reduced by the costs of unwinding the related hedging transactions. Our subsidiaries may realize a profit from the expected hedging activity even if investors do not receive a favorable investment return under the terms of the securities or in any secondary market transaction. In addition, any secondary market prices may differ from values determined by pricing models used by MS & Co., as a result of dealer discounts, mark-ups or other transaction costs.
Changes in the value of one or more of the basket components may offset each other Movements in the values of the basket components may not correlate with each other. At a time when one basket component increases in value, the other basket component may not increase as much, or may even decline in value. Therefore, in calculating the performance of the basket on the valuation date, an increase in the value of one basket component may be moderated, or wholly offset, by a lesser increase or decline in the value of the other basket component. The EEM shares, with a weighting of 70%, are more heavily weighted than gold, with a weighting of 30%, and accordingly the performance of the EEM shares will affect the performance of the basket more significantly than the performance of gold. If the basket performance factor is less than or equal to the trigger level on one or more trading days during the observation period and the basket performance factor is less than 100% on the valuation date, you will receive at maturity an amount that is less, and may be significantly less, than the amount of your original investment in the securities.
The EEM shares and the MSCI Emerging Markets Index are different The performance of the EEM shares may not exactly replicate the performance of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index because the iShares ® MSCI Emerging Markets Index Fund will reflect transaction costs and fees that are not included in the calculation of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index. It is also possible that the iShares ® MSCI Emerging Markets Index Fund may not fully replicate, or may in certain circumstances diverge significantly from, the performance of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index due to the temporary unavailability of certain securities in the secondary market, the performance of any derivative instruments contained in the iShares ® MSCI Emerging Markets Index Fund, differences in trading hours between the iShares ® MSCI Emerging Markets Index Fund and the MSCI Emerging Markets Index or due to other circumstances. The investment adviser to the iShares ® MSCI Emerging Markets Index Fund, BlackRock Fund Advisors (the “Investment Adviser”), generally invests at least 90% of the assets of the iShares ® MSCI Emerging Markets Index Fund in securities of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index and in depositary receipts representing securities of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index. The Investment Adviser may invest the remainder of such assets in other securities, including securities not included in the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, futures contracts, options on futures contracts, other types of options and swaps related to the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, as well as cash and cash equivalents, including shares of money market funds affiliated with the Investment Adviser.

PS-13

There are risks associated with investments in securities linked to the value of emerging markets equity securities The stocks included in the MSCI Emerging Markets Index and that are tracked by the EEM shares have been issued by companies in various emerging markets countries. Investments in securities linked to the value of foreign equity securities involve risks associated with the securities markets in those countries, including risks of volatility in those markets, governmental intervention in those markets and cross-shareholdings in companies in certain countries. Also, there is generally less publicly available information about foreign companies than about U.S. companies that are subject to the reporting requirements of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, and foreign companies are subject to accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards and requirements different from those applicable to U.S. reporting companies. The prices of securities in foreign markets may be affected by political, economic, financial and social factors in those countries, or global regions, including changes in government, economic and fiscal policies and currency exchange laws. Local securities markets may trade a small number of securities and may be unable to respond effectively to increases in trading volume, potentially making prompt liquidation of holdings difficult or impossible at times. Moreover, the economies in such countries may differ unfavorably from the economy in the United States in such respects as growth of gross national product, rate of inflation, capital reinvestment, resources, self-sufficiency and balance of payment positions. In addition, countries with emerging markets may have relatively unstable governments, may present the risks of nationalization of businesses, restrictions on foreign ownership and prohibitions on the repatriation of assets, and may have less protection of property rights than more developed countries. The economies of countries with emerging markets may be based on only a few industries, may be highly vulnerable to changes in local or global trade conditions, and may suffer from extreme and volatile debt burdens or inflation rates.
Adjustments to the EEM shares or to the MSCI Emerging Markets Index could adversely affect the value of the securities The Investment Adviser seeks investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index. Pursuant to its investment strategy or otherwise, the Investment Advisor may add, delete or substitute the stocks composing the iShares ® MSCI Emerging Markets Index Fund. Any of these actions could adversely affect the price of the EEM shares and, consequently, the value of the securities. MSCI Inc. (“MSCI”) is responsible for calculating and maintaining the MSCI Emerging Markets Index. MSCI may add, delete or substitute the stocks constituting the MSCI Emerging Markets Index or make other methodological changes that could change the value of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index. MSCI may discontinue or suspend calculation or publication of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index at any time. Any of these actions could adversely affect the value of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index and, consequently, the value of the securities.
The price of the EEM shares is subject to currency exchange risk Because the price of the EEM shares is related to the U.S. dollar value of stocks underlying the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, holders of the securities will be exposed to currency exchange rate risk with respect to each of the currencies in which such component securities trade. Exchange rate movements for a particular currency are volatile and are the result of numerous factors including the supply of, and the demand for, those currencies, as well as relevant government policy, intervention or actions, but are also influenced significantly from time to time by political or economic developments, and by macroeconomic factors and speculative actions related to the relevant region. An investor’s net exposure will depend on the extent to which the currencies of the component securities strengthen or weaken against the U.S. dollar and the relative weight of each currency. If, taking into account such weighting, the dollar strengthens against the currencies of the component securities represented in the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, the price of the EEM shares will be adversely affected and the payment at maturity on the

PS-14

securities may be reduced. Of particular importance to potential currency exchange risk are: • existing and expected rates of inflation; • existing and expected interest rate levels; • the balance of payments; and • the extent of governmental surpluses or deficits in the countries represented in the MSCI Emerging Markets Index and the United States. All of these factors are in turn sensitive to the monetary, fiscal and trade policies pursued by the governments of various countries represented in the MSCI Emerging Markets Index and the United States and other countries important to international trade and finance.
Investing in the securities is not equivalent to investing in the EEM shares Investing in the securities is not equivalent to investing in the EEM shares, the MSCI Emerging Markets Index or the stocks that constitute the MSCI Emerging Markets Index. Investors in the securities will not have voting rights or rights to receive dividends or other distributions or any other rights with respect to the underlying shares or the stocks that constitute the MSCI Emerging Markets Index.
The price of gold may change unpredictably and affect the value of the notes in unforeseeable ways Investments, such as the securities, linked to the prices of commodities, such as gold, are subject to sharp fluctuations in the prices of commodities over short periods of time for a variety of factors, including the principal factors set out below. These factors may affect the price of gold, and therefore of the securities, in varying and potentially inconsistent ways. The price of gold to which the return on the notes is linked is the afternoon gold fixing price per troy ounce of gold for delivery in London through a member of the LBMA authorized to effect such delivery. The market for gold bullion is global, and gold prices are subject to volatile price movements over short periods of time. Specific factors affecting the daily fixing price of gold include economic factors, including, among other things, the structure of and confidence in the global monetary system, expectations of the future rate of inflation, the relative strength of, and confidence in, the U.S. dollar (the currency in which the price of gold is generally quoted), interest rates and gold borrowing and lending rates, and global or regional economic, financial, political, regulatory, judicial or other events as well as wars and political and civil upheavals. Gold prices may also be affected by industry factors such as industrial and jewelry demand, lending, sales and purchases of gold by the official sector, including central banks and other governmental agencies and multilateral institutions that hold gold, sales of gold recycled from jewelry, as opposed to newly produced gold, in particular as the result of financial crises, levels of gold production and production costs in major gold producing nations such as South Africa, the United States and Australia, non-concurrent trading hours of gold markets and short-term changes in supply and demand because of trading activities in the gold market. It is not possible to predict the aggregate effect of all or any combination of these factors.
There are risks relating to trading of commodities on the London Bullion Market Association Gold is traded on the London Bullion Market Association, which we refer to as the LBMA. The price of gold will be determined by reference to the fixing price reported by the LBMA. The LBMA is a self-regulatory association of bullion market participants. Although all market-making members of the LBMA are supervised by the Bank of England and are required to satisfy a capital adequacy test, the LBMA itself is not a regulated entity. If the LBMA should cease operations, or if bullion trading should become subject to a value added tax or other tax or any other form of regulation currently not in place, the role of LBMA price

PS-15

fixings as a global benchmark for the value of gold may be adversely affected. The LBMA is a principals’ market which operates in a manner more closely analogous to over-the-counter physical commodity markets than regulated futures markets, and certain features of U.S. futures contracts are not present in the context of LBMA trading. For example, there are no daily price limits on the LBMA, which would otherwise restrict fluctuations in the prices of LBMA contracts. In a declining market, it is possible that prices would continue to decline without limitation within a trading day or over a period of trading days.
Investing in the securities is not equivalent to investing in futures contracts or in forward contracts on gold Investing in the securities is not equivalent to investing in gold or in futures contracts or in forward contracts on gold. By purchasing the notes, you do not purchase any entitlement to gold, or futures contracts or forward contracts on gold. Further, by purchasing the securities, you are taking credit risk to Morgan Stanley and not to any counter-party to futures contracts or forward contracts on gold.
The calculation agent, which is a subsidiary of the issuer, will make determinations with respect to the securities As calculation agent, MS & Co. has determined the initial price and will determine the final price of each basket component, whether the basket performance factor has decreased to or below the trigger level on any trading day during the observation period, and will calculate the amount of cash, if any, you will receive at maturity. Determinations made by MS & Co. in its capacity as calculation agent, including with respect to the occurrence or non-occurrence of market disruption events or the prices of the basket components in the event of a market disruption event, may adversely affect the payout to you at maturity. See the section of this pricing supplement called “Description of Securities—Market Disruption Event.”
Although under current law the securities should be treated as a single financial contract that is an “open transaction” for U.S. federal income tax purposes, there is uncertainty regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the securities. Please note that the discussions in this pricing supplement concerning the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the securities supersede the discussions contained in the accompanying prospectus supplement. Subject to the discussion under “United States Federal Taxation” in this pricing supplement, each security should be treated as a single financial contract that is an “open transaction” for U.S. federal income tax purposes. If the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) were successful in asserting an alternative treatment for the securities, the timing and character of income on the securities might differ significantly. For example, under one characterization, U.S. Holders could be required to accrue original issue discount on the securities every year at a “comparable yield” determined at the time of issuance and recognize all income and gain in respect of the securities as ordinary income. In addition, there is a substantial risk that an investment in the securities could be treated as a “constructive ownership transaction,” in which case all or a portion of any long-term capital gain could be recharacterized as ordinary income (and an interest charge would be imposed). We do not plan to request a ruling from the IRS regarding the tax treatment of the securities, and the IRS or a court may not agree with the tax treatment described in this pricing supplement. Please read carefully the discussion under “United States Federal Taxation” in this pricing supplement concerning the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the securities. On December 7, 2007, the Treasury Department and the IRS released a notice requesting comments on the U.S. federal income tax treatment of “prepaid forward contracts” and similar instruments, such as the securities. The notice focuses in particular on whether to require holders of these instruments to accrue income over the term of their investment. It also asks for comments on a number of related topics, including the character of income or loss with respect to these instruments; whether short-term instruments should be subject to any such accrual regime; the relevance of factors such as the exchange-traded status of the instruments and the nature of the underlying property to which the instruments are linked; the degree, if

PS-16

any, to which income (including any mandated accruals) realized by non-U.S. investors should be subject to withholding tax; and whether these instruments are or should be subject to the “constructive ownership” regime (as discussed above). While the notice requests comments on appropriate transition rules and effective dates, any Treasury regulations or other guidance promulgated after consideration of these issues could materially and adversely affect the tax consequences of an investment in the securities, possibly with retroactive effect. Both U.S. and Non-U.S. Holders should read carefully the discussion under “United States Federal Taxation” in this pricing supplement and consult their tax advisers regarding all aspects of the U.S. federal tax consequences of an investment in the securities as well as any tax consequences arising under the laws of any state, local or foreign taxing jurisdiction.

The Observation Period will extend to the date by which the Final Price for both Basket Components has been determined in accordance with the definition of “––Valuation Date.”
Basket Percent Increase The Basket Percent Increase will be determined by the Calculation Agent on the Valuation Date and will equal the sum of the products of (x) the Final Price for each Basket Component minus the Initial Price for such Basket Component divided by the Initial Price of such Basket Component times (y) the Basket Component Weighting for such Basket Component, as expressed by the following formula:

In certain circumstances, the Basket Percent Increase will be based on an alternate calculation of the Final Prices for the Basket

PS-19

Components, as described under “—Discontinuance of the EEM Shares and/or MSCI Emerging Markets Index; Alteration of Method of Calculation.”
Final Basket Performance Factor The Basket Performance Factor on the Valuation Date, as determined by the Calculation Agent.
Basket Performance Factor The Basket Performance Factor will be determined by the Calculation Agent on each Trading Day during the Observation Period and will equal the sum of the products of (x) the Basket Component Price for each Basket Component divided by the Initial Price for such Basket Component times (y) the Basket Component Weighting for such Basket Component, as expressed by the following formula:
In certain circumstances, the Basket Performance Factor will be based on an alternate calculation of the Basket Component Prices for the Basket Components, as described under “—Discontinuance of the EEM Shares and/or MSCI Emerging Markets Index; Alteration of Method of Calculation.”
Initial Price The Initial Price for each Basket Component has been determined by the Calculation Agent and is equal to:
(i) in the case of the EEM Shares, $40.50, which is the Closing Price of one share of the EEM Shares on the Pricing Date, and
(ii) in the case of Gold, $1,235, which is the afternoon Gold fixing price per troy ounce of Gold for delivery in London through a member of the London Bullion Market Association (the “LBMA”) authorized to effect such delivery, stated in U.S. dollars, as calculated by the London Gold Market and published by the LBMA on the Pricing Date.
If the Initial Price for Gold as finally published by the LBMA differs from the Initial Price specified in this pricing supplement, we will include the definitive Initial Price in an amended pricing supplement.
Final Price The Final Price for each Basket Component will be determined by the Calculation Agent and will equal the Basket Component Price of such Basket Component on the Valuation Date.
Basket Component Price The Basket Component Price on any Trading Day for each Basket Component will be determined by the Calculation Agent and will equal:
(i) in the case of the EEM Shares, the Closing Price of one share of the EEM Shares on such Trading Day times the Adjustment Factor on such day, and

PS-20

(ii) in the case of Gold, the afternoon Gold fixing price per troy ounce of Gold for delivery in London through a member of the LBMA authorized to effect such delivery, stated in U.S. dollars, as calculated by the London Gold Market and published by the LBMA on such Trading Day.
Reuters, Bloomberg and various other third party sources may report prices of Gold. If any such reported price differs from that as calculated by the London Gold Market and published by the LBMA, the price as published by the LBMA will prevail.
Closing Price Subject to the provisions set out under “—Discontinuance of the EEM Shares and/or MSCI Emerging Markets Index; Alteration of Method of Calculation” below, the Closing Price for the EEM Shares on any Trading Day means:
(i) if such shares are listed on a national securities exchange (other than the NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (the “NASDAQ”)), the last reported sale price, regular way, of the principal trading session on such day on the principal national securities exchange registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, on which such shares (or any such other security) are listed,
(ii) if such shares are securities of the NASDAQ, the official closing price published by the NASDAQ on such day, or
(iii) if such shares are not listed on any national securities exchange but are included in the OTC Bulletin Board Service (the “OTC Bulletin Board”) operated by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc., the last reported sale price of the principal trading session on the OTC Bulletin Board on such day.
If the EEM Shares are listed on any national securities exchange but the last reported sale price or the official closing price published by the NASDAQ, as applicable, is not available pursuant to the preceding sentence, then the Closing Price for one such share on any Trading Day will mean the last reported sale price of the principal trading session on the over-the-counter market as reported on the NASDAQ or the OTC Bulletin Board on such day. The term “OTC Bulletin Board Service” will include any successor service thereto. If a Market Disruption Event (as defined below) occurs with respect to the EEM Shares or the last reported sale price or the official closing price published by the NASDAQ, as applicable, for the EEM Shares is not available pursuant to either of the two preceding sentences, then the Closing Price for any Trading Day will be the mean, as determined by the Calculation Agent, of the bid prices for the EEM Shares for such Trading Day obtained from as many recognized dealers in such security, but not exceeding three, as will make such bid prices available to the Calculation Agent. Bids of Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated (“MS & Co.”) or any of its affiliates may be included in the calculation of such mean, but only to the extent that any such bid is the highest of the bids obtained. If no bid prices are provided from any third party

PS-21

dealers, the Closing Price will be determined by the Calculation Agent in its sole and absolute discretion (acting in good faith) taking into account any information that it deems relevant. See “—Discontinuance of the EEM Shares and/or MSCI Emerging Markets Index; Alteration of Method of Calculation” below.
Adjustment Factor For the EEM Shares, 1.0, subject to adjustment by the Calculation Agent in the event of certain events affecting such shares. See “—Antidilution Adjustments” below.
Relevant Exchange Relevant Exchange means:
(a) with respect to the EEM Shares, the primary exchange or market of trading for any security then included in the MSCI Emerging Markets Index or any Successor Index; and
(b) with respect to Gold, the LBMA.
Valuation Date With respect to each Basket Component separately, the Valuation Date will be August 28, 2012; provided that:
(i) with respect to the EEM Shares, if the Valuation Date is not a Trading Day with respect to the EEM Shares or if a Market Disruption Event with respect to the EEM Shares occurs on the Valuation Date (a “Share Component Disrupted Date”), the Final Price for the EEM Shares will be determined on the immediately succeeding Trading Day on which no Market Disruption Event occurs with respect to the EEM Shares; provided further that the Final Price for the EEM Shares will be determined no later than on the third Trading Day following the scheduled Valuation Date as a result of a Share Component Disrupted Date, and
(ii) with respect to Gold, if the Valuation Date is not a Trading Day with respect to Gold or if a Market Disruption Event with respect to Gold occurs on the Valuation Date (a “Commodity Component Disrupted Date”), the Final Price in respect of Gold will be determined on the next Trading Day on which no Market Disruption Event occurs with respect to Gold, provided further that the Final Price for Gold will be determined no later than on the third Trading Day following the scheduled Valuation Date as a result of a Commodity Component Disrupted Date.
If the Final Price with respect to the EEM Shares has not been determined by the third Trading Day following the scheduled Valuation Date as a result of Share Component Disrupted Dates, the Calculation Agent will determine the Final Price of the EEM Shares on such day, as the mean, as determined by the Calculation Agent, of the bid prices for EEM Shares for such date obtained from as many recognized dealers in such security, but not exceeding three, as will make such bid prices available to the Calculation Agent. Bids of MS & Co. or any of its affiliates may be included in the calculation of such mean, but only to the extent

PS-22

that any such bid is the highest of the bids obtained. If no bid prices are provided from any third party dealers, the Final Price with respect to the EEM Shares will be determined by the Calculation Agent in its sole and absolute discretion (acting in good faith) taking into account any information that it deems relevant.
If the Final Price with respect to Gold has not been determined by the third Trading Day following the scheduled Valuation Date as a result of Commodity Component Disrupted Dates, the Calculation Agent will determine the Final Price for Gold on such third succeeding Trading Day by requesting the principal office of each of the three leading dealers in the relevant market, selected by the Calculation Agent, to provide a quotation for the relevant price. If such quotations are provided as requested, the Final Price for Gold shall be the arithmetic mean of such quotations. If fewer than three quotations are provided as requested, the Final Price shall be determined by the Calculation Agent in its sole and absolute discretion (acting in good faith) taking into account any information that it deems relevant.
Trading Day Trading Day means:
(a) with respect to the EEM Shares, a day, as determined by the Calculation Agent, on which trading is generally conducted on the New York Stock Exchange, the NASDAQ, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange and the Chicago Board of Options Exchange and in the over-the-counter market for equity securities in the United States; and
(b) with respect to Gold, a day, as determined by the Calculation Agent, that is a day on which the Relevant Exchange is open for trading during its regular trading session, notwithstanding any such Relevant Exchange closing prior to its scheduled closing time.
Market Disruption Event Market Disruption Event means:
(a) with respect to the EEM Shares:
(i) the occurrence or existence of a suspension, absence or material limitation of trading of the EEM Shares on the Relevant Exchange for the EEM Shares for more than two hours of trading or during the one-half hour period preceding the close of the principal trading session in such market; or a breakdown or failure in the price and trade reporting systems of the Relevant Exchange for the EEM Shares as a result of which the reported trading prices for the EEM Shares during the last one-half hour preceding the close of the principal trading session in such market are materially inaccurate; or the suspension, absence or material limitation of trading on the primary market for trading in futures or options contracts related to the EEM Shares, if available, during the one-half hour period preceding the close of the principal trading session in the applicable market, in each case as

PS-23

determined by the Calculation Agent in its sole discretion; or
(ii) the occurrence or existence of a suspension, absence or material limitation of trading of stocks then constituting 20 percent or more of the value of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index on the Relevant Exchange(s) for such securities for more than two hours of trading or during the one-half hour period preceding the close of the principal trading session on such Relevant Exchange(s), in each case as determined by the Calculation Agent in its sole discretion; or
(iii) the suspension, material limitation or absence of trading on any major U.S. securities market for trading in futures or options contracts related to the MSCI Emerging Markets Index or the EEM Shares for more than two hours of trading or during the one-half hour period preceding the close of the principal trading session on such market, in each case as determined by the Calculation Agent in its sole discretion; and
(iv) a determination by the Calculation Agent in its sole discretion that any event described in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) above materially interfered with our ability or the ability of any of our affiliates to unwind or adjust all or a material portion of the hedge position with respect to the Securities.
(b) with respect to Gold, any of Price Source Disruption, Trading Disruption, Disappearance of Commodity Reference Price and Tax Disruption, in each case, as determined by the Calculation Agent.
For the purpose of determining whether a Market Disruption Event exists with respect to the EEM Shares at any time, if trading in a security included in the MSCI Emerging Markets Index is materially suspended or materially limited at that time, then the relevant percentage contribution of that security to the level of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index shall be based on a comparison of (x) the portion of the value of such index attributable to that security relative to (y) the overall value of such index, in each case immediately before that suspension or limitation.
For the purpose of determining whether a Market Disruption Event with respect to the EEM Shares has occurred: (1) a limitation on the hours or number of days of trading will not constitute a Market Disruption Event if it results from an announced change in the regular business hours of the Relevant Exchange or market, (2) a decision to permanently discontinue trading in the EEM Shares or in the futures or options contract related to the MSCI Emerging Markets Index or the EEM Shares will not constitute a Market Disruption Event, (3) a suspension of trading in futures or options contracts on the MSCI Emerging Markets Index by the primary securities market trading in such contracts by reason of (a) a price change exceeding limits set by such securities exchange or market, (b) an imbalance of orders relating to such contracts or (c) a disparity in bid and ask quotes

PS-24

relating to such contracts will constitute a suspension, absence or material limitation of trading in futures or options contracts related to the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, and (4) a “suspension, absence or material limitation of trading” on any Relevant Exchange or on the primary market on which futures or options contracts related to the MSCI Emerging Markets Index are traded will not include any time when such securities market is itself closed for trading under ordinary circumstances. Upon any permanent discontinuance of trading in the EEM Shares, see “––Discontinuance of the EEM Shares and/or MSCI Emerging Markets Index; Alteration of Method of Calculation” below.
Price Souce Disruption With respect to Gold, Price Source Disruption means the temporary or permanent failure of the Relevant Exchange to announce or publish a price for Gold.
Trading Disruption With respect to Gold, Trading Disruption means the material suspension of, or material limitation imposed on, trading in Gold or futures contracts related to Gold on the Relevant Exchange.
Disappearance of Commodity
Reference Price With respect to Gold, Disappearance of Commodity Reference Source means either (i) the failure of trading to commence, or the permanent discontinuance of trading, in Gold or futures contracts related to Gold on the Relevant Exchange for Gold or (ii) the disappearance of, or of trading in, Gold.
Tax Disruption With respect to Gold, Tax Disruption means the imposition of, change in or removal of an excise, severance, sales, use, value-added, transfer, stamp, documentary, recording or similar tax on, or measured by reference to, Gold (other than a tax on, or measured by reference to overall gross or net income) by any government or taxation authority after the Pricing Date, if the direct effect of such imposition, change or removal is to raise or lower the Basket Component Price of Gold from what it would have been without that imposition, change or removal.

All determinations made by the Calculation Agent will be at the sole discretion of the Calculation Agent and will, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive for all purposes and binding on you, the Trustee and us.
All calculations with respect to the Payment at Maturity, if any, will be rounded to the nearest one billionth, with five ten-billionths rounded upward ( e.g. , .8765432105 would be rounded to .876543211); all dollar amounts related to determination of the amount of cash payable per Security, if any, will be rounded to the nearest ten-thousandth, with five one hundred-thousandths rounded upward ( e.g. , .76545 would be rounded up to .7655); and all dollar amounts paid on the aggregate number of Securities, if any, will be rounded to the nearest cent, with one-half cent rounded upward.
Because the Calculation Agent is our subsidiary, the economic interests of the Calculation Agent and its affiliates may be adverse to your interests as an investor in the Securities, including with respect to certain determinations and judgments that the Calculation Agent must make in determining the Initial Prices, the Final Prices, whether the Basket Performance Factor has decreased to or below the Trigger Level on any Trading Day during the Observation Period, the Final Basket Performance Factor, the Basket Percent Increase and the Payment at Maturity, or whether a Market Disruption Event has occurred. See “—Market Disruption Event,” “—Antidilution Adjustments” and “—Valuation Date.” MS & Co. is obligated to carry out its duties and functions as Calculation Agent in good faith and using its reasonable judgment.
Antidilution Adjustments With respect to the EEM Shares, if the EEM Shares are subject to a stock split or reverse stock split, then once such split has become effective, the Adjustment Factor will be adjusted to equal the product of the prior Adjustment Factor and the number of shares issued in such stock split or reverse stock split with respect to one share of the EEM Shares.
No adjustment to the Adjustment Factor for the EEM Shares pursuant to the paragraph above will be required unless such adjustment would require a change of at least 0.1% in the amount being adjusted as then in effect. Any number so adjusted will be rounded to the nearest one hundred-thousandth with five one-millionths being rounded upward.
Discontinuance of the EEM Shares
and/or MSCI Emerging Markets Index;
Alteration of Method of Calculation If trading in the EEM Shares on every applicable national securities exchange, on the OTC Bulletin Board and in the over-

PS-26

the-counter market is permanently discontinued or the iShares ® MSCI Emerging Markets Index Fund is liquidated or otherwise terminated (a “Discontinuance or Liquidation Event”), the Closing Price of the EEM Shares on any Trading Day following the Discontinuance or Liquidation Event will be determined by the Calculation Agent and will be deemed to equal the product of (i) the closing value of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (or any relevant Successor Index, as described below) on such Trading Day, (taking into account any material changes in the method of calculating the MSCI Emerging Markets Index following such Discontinuance or Liquidation Event) times (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Closing Price of the EEM Shares and the denominator of which is the closing value of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (or any relevant Successor Index, as described below), each determined as of the last day prior to the occurrence of the Discontinuance or Liquidation Event on which a Closing Price was available.
If, subsequent to a Discontinuance or Liquidation Event, MSCI, Inc., which we refer to as MSCI, discontinues publication of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index and MSCI or another entity (including MS & Co.) publishes a successor or substitute index that MS & Co., as the Calculation Agent, determines, in its sole discretion, to be comparable to the discontinued MSCI Emerging Markets Index (such index being referred to herein as a “Successor Index”), then the Basket Component Price for the EEM Shares will be determined by reference to the published value of such Successor Index at the regular weekday close of trading on such Trading Day.
Upon any selection by the Calculation Agent of a Successor Index, the Calculation Agent will cause written notice thereof to be furnished to the Trustee, to us and to DTC, as holder of the Securities, within three Business Days of such selection. We expect that such notice will be passed on to you, as a beneficial owner of the Securities, in accordance with the standard rules and procedures of DTC and its direct and indirect participants.
If, subsequent to a Discontinuance or Liquidation Event, MSCI discontinues publication of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index prior to, and such discontinuance is continuing on, the Valuation Date or the date of acceleration, and MS & Co., as the Calculation Agent, determines, in its sole discretion, that no Successor Index is available at such time, then the Calculation Agent will determine the Basket Component Price for the EEM Shares for such date. Such Basket Component Price will be computed by the Calculation Agent in accordance with the formula for calculating the MSCI Emerging Markets Index last in effect prior to such discontinuance, using the closing price (or, if trading in the relevant securities has been materially suspended or materially limited, its good faith estimate of the closing price that would have prevailed but for such suspension or limitation) at the close of the principal trading session of the Relevant Exchange on such date of each security most recently composing the MSCI Emerging Markets Index without any rebalancing or substitution

PS-27

of such securities following such discontinuance. Notwithstanding these alternative arrangements, discontinuance of the publication of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index may adversely affect the value of the Securities.
Alternate Exchange Calculation
in Case of an Event of Default In case an event of default with respect to the Securities shall have occurred and be continuing, the amount declared due and payable per Security upon any acceleration of the Securities (the “Acceleration Amount”) shall be determined by the Calculation Agent and shall be an amount in cash equal to the Payment at Maturity, if any, calculated as though (1) the date of acceleration were the Valuation Date and (2) the Observation Period ended at 4:00 p.m. (New York City time) on such date of acceleration.
If the maturity of the Securities is accelerated because of an event of default as described above, we shall, or shall cause the Calculation Agent to, provide written notice to the Trustee at its New York office, on which notice the Trustee may conclusively rely, and to DTC of the Acceleration Amount and the aggregate cash amount due with respect to the Securities, if any, as promptly as possible and in no event later than two Business Days after the date of acceleration.

The MSCI Emerging Markets Index SM The MSCI Emerging Markets Index SM is calculated, published and disseminated daily by MSCI Inc., through numerous data vendors, on the MSCI website and a majority of them in real time on Bloomberg Financial Markets and Reuters Limited.
The MSCI Emerging Markets Index is a free float-adjusted market capitalization index that is designed to measure the equity market performance of emerging markets. As of August 2010, the MSCI Emerging Markets Index consisted of the following 21 emerging market country indices: Brazil, Chile, China, Colombia, Czech Republic, Egypt, Hungary, India, Indonesia, Korea, Malaysia, Mexico, Morocco, Peru, Philippines, Poland, Russia, South Africa, Taiwan, Thailand and Turkey. Effective May 2010, Israel has been reclassified as a developed market and is no longer included in the MSCI Emerging Markets Index. The MSCI Emerging Markets Index includes components from all countries designated by MSCI as Emerging Markets. The MSCI Emerging Markets Index was developed with a base value of 100 as of December 31, 1987. The MSCI Emerging Markets Index is reported by Bloomberg Financial Markets under ticker symbol “MXEF.”

PS-29

MSCI undertakes an index construction process, which involves: (i) defining the Equity Universe; (ii) determining the Market Investable Equity Universe for each market; (iii) determining market capitalization size segments for each market; (iv) applying Index Continuity Rules for the MSCI Standard Index; (v) creating style segments within each size segment within each market; and (vi) classifying securities under the Global Industry Classification Standard (“GICS ® ”).
Defining the Equity Universe
(i) Identifying Eligible Equity Securities: The Equity Universe initially looks at securities listed in any of the countries in the MSCI Global Index Series, which will be classified as either Developed Markets (“DM”) or Emerging Markets (“EM”). All listed equity securities, or listed securities that exhibit characteristics of equity securities, except mutual funds, exchange-traded funds, equity derivatives, limited partnerships, and most investment trusts, are eligible for inclusion in the Equity Universe. Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”) in some countries and certain income trusts in Canada are also eligible for inclusion.
(ii) Country Classification of Eligible Securities: Each company and its securities (i.e., share classes) are classified in one and only one country, which allows for sorting of each company by its respective country.
Determining the Market Investable Equity Universes
A Market Investable Equity Universe for a market is derived by applying investability screens to individual companies and securities in the Equity Universe that are classified in that market. A market is equivalent to a single country, except in DM Europe, where all DM countries in Europe are aggregated into a single market for index construction purposes. Subsequently, individual DM Europe country indices within the MSCI Europe Index are derived from the constituents of the MSCI Europe Index under the Global Investable Market Indices methodology.
The investability screens used to determine the Investable Equity Universe in each market are as follows:
(i) Equity Universe Minimum Size Requirement: This investability screen is applied at the company level. In order to be included in a Market Investable Equity Universe, a company must have the required minimum full market capitalization. A company will meet this requirement if its cumulative free float-adjusted market capitalization is within the top 99% of the sorted Equity Universe.
(ii) Equity Universe Minimum Float-Adjusted Market Capitalization Requirement: This investability screen is applied at the individual security level. To be eligible for inclusion in a Market Investable Equity Universe, a security must have a free

PS-30

float-adjusted market capitalization equal to or higher than 50% of the Equity Universe Minimum Size Requirement.
(iii) DM and EM Minimum Liquidity Requirement: This investability screen is applied at the individual security level. To be eligible for inclusion in a Market Investable Equity Universe, a security must have adequate liquidity. The Annualized Traded Value Ratio (“ATVR”), a measure that offers the advantage of screening out extreme daily trading volumes and taking into account the free float-adjusted market capitalization size of securities, is used to measure liquidity. In the calculation of the ATVR, the trading volumes in depository receipts associated with that security, such as ADRs or GDRs, are also considered. A minimum liquidity level of 20% ATVR is required for inclusion of a security in a Market Investable Equity Universe of a Developed Market, and a minimum liquidity level of 15% ATVR is required for inclusion of a security in a Market Investable Equity Universe of an Emerging Market.
(iv) Global Minimum Foreign Inclusion Factor Requirement: This investability screen is applied at the individual security level. To be eligible for inclusion in a Market Investable Equity Universe, a security’s Foreign Inclusion Factor (“FIF”) must reach a certain threshold. The FIF of a security is defined as the proportion of shares outstanding that is available for purchase in the public equity markets by international investors. This proportion accounts for the available free float of and/or the foreign ownership limits applicable to a specific security (or company). In general, a security must have an FIF equal to or larger than 0.15 to be eligible for inclusion in a Market Investable Equity Universe. Exceptions to this general rule are made only in the limited cases where the exclusion of securities of a very large company would compromise the MSCI Emerging Markets Index’s ability to fully and fairly represent the characteristics of the underlying market.
(v) Minimum Length of Trading Requirement: This investability screen is applied at the individual security level. For an initial public offering (“IPO”) to be eligible for inclusion in a Market Investable Equity Universe, the new issue must have started trading at least four months before the implementation of the initial construction of the index or at least three months before the implementation of a Semi-Annual Index Review. This requirement is applicable to small new issues in all markets. Large IPOs are not subject to the Minimum Length of Trading Requirement and may be included in a Market Investable Equity Universe and the Standard Index outside of a Quarterly or Semi-Annual Index Review.
Defining Market Capitalization Size Segments for Each Market
Once a Market Investable Equity Universe is defined, it is segmented into the following size-based indices:
Investable Market Index (Large + Mid + Small)
Standard Index (Large + Mid)

PS-31

Large Cap Index
Mid Cap Index
Small Cap Index
Creating the Size Segment Indices in each market involves the following steps: (i) defining the Market Coverage Target Range for each size segment; (ii) determining the Global Minimum Size Range for each size segment; (iii) determining the Market Size-Segment Cutoffs and associated Segment Number of Companies; (iv) assigning companies to the size segments; and (v) applying final size-segment investability requirements and index continuity rules.
Index Continuity Rules for the Standard Indices
In order to achieve index continuity, as well as provide some basic level of diversification within a market index, notwithstanding the effect of other index construction rules, a minimum number of five constituents will be maintained for a DM Standard Index and a minimum number of three constituents will be maintained for an EM Standard Index. The application of this requirement involves the following steps:
If after the application of the index construction methodology, a Standard Index contains fewer than five securities in a Developed Market or three securities in an Emerging Market, then the largest securities by free float-adjusted market capitalization are added to the Standard Index in order to reach five constituents in that Developed Market or three in that Emerging Market. At subsequent Index Reviews, if the free float-adjusted market capitalization of a non-index constituent is at least 1.50 times the free float-adjusted market capitalization of the smallest existing constituent after rebalancing, the larger free float-adjusted market capitalization security replaces the smaller one.
Creating Style Indices within Each Size Segment
All securities in the investable equity universe are classified into Value or Growth segments using the MSCI Global Value and Growth methodology.
Classifying Securities under the Global Industry Classification Standard (“GICS ® ”)
All securities in the Global Investable Equity Universe are assigned to the industry that best describes their business activities. To this end, MSCI has designed, in conjunction with Standard & Poor’s, a Division of the McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., the GICS ® . The GICS entails four levels of classification: (1) sector; (2) industry group; (3) industries; and (4) sub-industries. Under the GICS, each company is assigned to one sub-industry according to its principal business activity. Therefore, a company can belong to only one industry grouping at each of the four levels of the GICS.

PS-32

Index Maintenance
The MSCI Global Investable Market Indices are maintained with the objective of reflecting the evolution of the underlying equity markets and segments on a timely basis, while seeking to achieve index continuity, continuous investability of constituents and replicability of the indices, and index stability and low index turnover.
In particular, index maintenance involves:
(i) Semi-Annual Index Reviews (“SAIRs”) in May and November of the Size Segment and Global Value and Growth Indices which include:
Updating the indices on the basis of a fully refreshed Equity Universe.
Taking buffer rules into consideration for migration of securities across size and style segments.
Updating FIFs and Number of Shares (“NOS”).
The objective of the SAIRs is to systematically reassess the various dimensions of the Equity Universe for all markets on a fixed semi-annual timetable. A SAIR involves a comprehensive review of the Size Segment and Global Value and Growth Indices.
(ii) Quarterly Index Reviews (“QIRs”) in February and August (in addition to the SAIRs in May and November) of the Size Segment Indices aimed at:
Including significant new eligible securities (such as IPOs that were not eligible for earlier inclusion) in the index.
Allowing for significant moves of companies within the Size Segment Indices, using wider buffers than in the SAIR.
Reflecting the impact of significant market events on FIFs and updating NOS.

QIRs are designed to ensure that the indices continue to be an accurate reflection of the evolving equity marketplace. This is achieved by a timely reflection of significant market driven changes that were not captured in the index at the time of their actual occurrence but are significant enough to be reflected before the next SAIR. QIRs may result in additions or deletions due to migration to another Size Segment Index, and changes in FIFs and in NOS. Only additions of significant new investable companies are considered, and only for the Standard Index. The buffer zones used to manage the migration of companies from one segment to another are wider than those used in the SAIR. The style classification is reviewed only for companies that are reassigned to a different size segment.

PS-33

(iii) Ongoing event-related changes. Ongoing event-related changes to the indices are the result of mergers, acquisitions, spin-offs, bankruptcies, reorganizations and other similar corporate events. They can also result from capital reorganizations in the form of rights issues, bonus issues, public placements and other similar corporate actions that take place on a continuing basis. These changes generally are reflected in the indices at the time of the event. Significantly large IPOs are included in the indices after the close of the company’s tenth day of trading.
Announcement Policy
The results of the SAIRs are announced at least two weeks in advance of their effective implementation dates as of the close of the last business day of May and November.
The results of the QIRs are announced at least two weeks in advance of their effective implementation dates as of the close of the last business day of February and August.
All changes resulting from corporate events are announced prior to their implementation in the MSCI indices.
The changes are typically announced at least ten business days prior to the changes becoming effective in the indices as an “expected” announcement, or as an “undetermined” announcement, when the effective dates are not known yet or when aspects of the event are uncertain. MSCI sends “confirmed” announcements at least two business days prior to events becoming effective in the indices, provided that all necessary public information concerning the event is available. The full list of all new and pending changes is delivered to clients on a daily basis, at 5:30 p.m., US Eastern Time.
In exceptional cases, events are announced during market hours for same or next day implementation. Announcements made by MSCI during market hours are usually linked to late company disclosure of corporate events or unexpected changes to previously announced corporate events.
In the case of secondary offerings representing more than 5% of a security’s number of shares for existing constituents, these changes will be announced prior to the end of the subscription period when possible and a subsequent announcement confirming the details of the event (including the date of implementation) will be made as soon as the results are available.
Both primary equity offerings and secondary offerings for U.S. securities, representing at least 5% of the security’s number of shares, will be confirmed through an announcement during market hours for next day or shortly after implementation, as the completion of the events cannot be confirmed prior to the notification of the pricing.

PS-34

Early deletions of constituents due to bankruptcy or other significant cases are announced as soon as practicable prior to their implementation in the MSCI indices.
For Standard Index constituents, a more descriptive text announcement is sent to clients for significant events that meet any of the following criteria:
Additions and deletions of constituents.
Changes in free float-adjusted market capitalization equal to or larger than USD 5 billion, or with an impact of at least 1% of the constituent’s underlying country index.
If warranted, MSCI Inc. may make additional announcements for events that are complex in nature and for which additional clarification could be beneficial.
IPOs and Other Early Inclusions . Early inclusions of large IPOs in the MSCI Standard Index Series are announced no earlier than the first day of trading and no later than before the opening of the third day of trading in the market where the company has its primary listing. Early inclusions of already listed securities following large secondary offerings of new and/or existing shares are announced no earlier than shortly after the end of the offer period.
GICS ® . Non-event related changes in industry classification at the sub-industry level are announced at least two weeks prior to their implementation as of the close of the last U.S. business day of each month. MSCI announces GICS changes twice a month, the first announcement being made on the first U.S. business day of the month and the second one being made at least ten U.S. business days prior to the last U.S. business day of the month. All GICS changes announced in a given month will be implemented as of the close of the last U.S. business day of the month.
Index Calculation
Price Index Level
The MSCI indices are calculated using the Laspeyres’ concept of a weighted arithmetic average together with the concept of chain-linking. As a general principle, the level of the relevant MSCI index level is obtained by applying the change in the market performance to the previous period level for such MSCI index.

Corporate Events
Mergers and Acquisitions. As a general principle, MSCI implements M&As as of the close of the last trading day of the acquired entity or merging entities (last offer day for tender offers), regardless of the status of the securities (index constituents or non-index constituents) involved in the event. MSCI uses market prices for implementation. This principle applies if all necessary information is available prior to the completion of the event and if the liquidity of the relevant constituent(s) is not expected to be significantly diminished on the day of implementation. Otherwise, MSCI will determine the most appropriate implementation method and announce it prior to the changes becoming effective in the indices.
Tender Offers. In tender offers, the acquired or merging Security is generally deleted from the MSCI indices at the end of the initial offer period, when the offer is likely to be successful and/or if the free float of the Security is likely to be substantially reduced (this rule is applicable even if the offer is extended), or once the results of the offer have been officially communicated and the offer has been successful and the Security’s free float has been substantially reduced, if all required information is not available in advance or if the offer’s outcome is uncertain. The main factors considered by MSCI when assessing the outcome of a tender offer (not in order of importance) are: the announcement of the offer as friendly or hostile, a comparison of the offer price to the acquired Security’s market price, the recommendation by the acquired company’s board of directors, the major shareholders’ stated intention whether to tender their shares, the required level of acceptance, the existence of pending regulatory approvals, market perception of the transaction, official preliminary results if any, and other additional conditions for the offer.
If a security is deleted from an index, the security will not be reinstated immediately after its deletion even when the tender offer is subsequently declared unsuccessful and/or the free float of the security is not substantially reduced. It may be reconsidered for index inclusion in the context of a quarterly index review or annual full country index review. MSCI uses market prices for implementation.

PS-38

Late Announcements of Completion of Mergers and Acquisitions. When the completion of an event is announced too late to be reflected as of the close of the last trading day of the acquired or merging entities, implementation occurs as of the close of the following day or as soon as practicable thereafter. In these cases, MSCI uses a calculated price for the acquired or merging entities. The calculated price is determined using the terms of the transaction and the price of the acquiring or merged entity, or, if not appropriate, using the last trading day’s market price of the acquired or merging entities.
Conversions of Share Classes. Conversions of a share class into another share class resulting in the deletion and/or addition of one or more classes of shares are implemented as of the close of the last trading day of the share class to be converted.
Spin-Offs. On the ex-date of a spin-off, a PAF is applied to the price of the security of the parent company. The PAF is calculated based on the terms of the transaction and the market price of the spun-off security. If the spun-off entity qualifies for inclusion, it is included as of the close of its first trading day. If appropriate, MSCI may link the price history of the spun-off security to a security of the parent company.
In cases of spin-offs of partially-owned companies, the post-event free float of the spun-off entity is calculated using a weighted average of the existing shares and the spun-off shares, each at their corresponding free float. Any resulting changes to FIFs and/or DIFs are implemented as of the close of the ex-date.
When the spun-off security does not trade on the ex-date, a “detached” security is created to avoid a drop in the free float-adjusted market capitalization of the parent entity, regardless of whether the spun-off security is added or not. The detached security is included until the spun-off security begins trading, and is deleted thereafter. Generally, the value of the detached security is equal to the difference between the cum price and the ex price of the parent security.
Corporate Actions. Corporate actions such as splits, bonus issues and rights issues, which affect the price of a security, require a price adjustment. In general, the PAF is applied on the ex-date of the event to ensure that security prices are comparable between the ex-date and the cum date. To do so, MSCI adjusts for the value of the right and/or the value of the special assets that are distributed. In general, corporate actions do not impact the free float of the securities because the distribution of new shares is carried out on a pro rata basis to all existing shareholders. Therefore, MSCI will generally not implement any pending number of shares and/or free float updates simultaneously with the event.
If a security does not trade for any reason on the ex-date of the corporate action, the event will be generally implemented on the day the security resumes trading.

PS-39

Share Placements and Offerings. Changes in number of shares and FIF resulting from primary equity offerings representing more than 5% of the security’s number of shares are generally implemented as of the close of the first trading day of the new shares, if all necessary information is available at that time. Otherwise, the event is implemented as soon as practicable after the relevant information is made available. A primary equity offering involves the issuance of new shares by a company. Changes in number of shares and FIF resulting from primary equity offerings representing less than 5% of the security’s number of shares are deferred to the next regularly scheduled Quarterly Index Review following the completion of the event. For public secondary offerings of existing constituents representing more than 5% of the security’s number of shares, where possible, MSCI will announce these changes and reflect them shortly after the results of the subscription are known. Secondary public offerings that, given lack of sufficient notice, were not reflected immediately will be reflected at the next Quarterly Index Review. Secondary offerings involve the distribution of existing shares of current shareholders’ in a listed company and are usually pre-announced by a company or by a company’s shareholders and open for public subscription during a pre-determined period. For U.S. securities, increases in number of shares and changes in FIFs and/or DIFs resulting from primary equity offerings and from secondary offerings representing at least 5% of the security’s number of shares will be implemented as soon as practicable after the offering is priced. Generally, implementation takes place as of the close of the same day that the pricing of the shares is made public. If this is not possible, the implementation will take place as of the close of the following trading day.
Debt-to-Equity Swaps. In general, large debt-to-equity swaps involve the conversion of debt into equity originally not convertible at the time of issue. In this case, changes in numbers of shares and subsequent FIF and/or DIF changes are implemented as of the close of the first trading day of the newly issued shares, or shortly thereafter if all necessary information is available at the time of the swap. In general, shares issued in debt-to-equity swaps are assumed to be issued to strategic investors. As such, the post event free float is calculated on a pro forma basis assuming that all these shares are non-free float. Changes in numbers of shares and subsequent FIF and/or DIF changes due to conversions of convertible bonds or other convertible instruments, including periodical conversions of preferred stocks and small debt-to-equity swaps are implemented as part of the quarterly index review.
Optional Dividends . In the case of an optional dividend, the company offers shareholders the choice of receiving the dividend either in cash or in shares. However, shareholders electing the cash option may receive the dividend consideration in cash or shares, or some combination of cash and shares. These dividends are a common practice in the U.S. For dividend reinvestment purposes, MSCI assumes that investors elect the cash option,

PS-40

therefore the dividend is reinvested in the MSCI Daily Total Return (“DTR”) Indices and price adjustment is not necessary (if the dividend is less than 5% of the cum market price of the underlying security). In the event that shareholders electing the cash option receive the dividend distribution in shares, or a combination of cash and shares, MSCI will increase the number of shares accordingly after results have been officially communicated, with two full business days notice.
Suspensions and Bankruptcies. MSCI will remove from the MSCI Equity Index Series as soon as practicable companies that file for bankruptcy, companies that file for protection from their creditors and/or are suspended and for which a return to normal business activity and trading is unlikely in the near future. When the primary exchange price is not available, MSCI will delete securities at an over the counter or equivalent market price when such a price is available and deemed relevant. If no over the counter or equivalent price is available, the security will be deleted at the smallest price (unit or fraction of the currency) at which a security can trade on a given exchange. For securities that are suspended, MSCI will carry forward the market price prior to the suspension during the suspension period.
Certain MSCI Indices are Subject to Currency Exchange Risk. Because the closing prices of the component securities are converted into U.S. dollars for purposes of calculating the value of certain MSCI indices, investors in the Securities linked to such MSCI indices will be exposed to currency exchange rate risk. Exposure to currency changes will depend on the extent to which the relevant currency strengthens or weakens against the U.S. dollar. The devaluation of the U.S. dollar against the applicable currency will result in an increase in the value of the relevant index. Conversely, if the U.S. dollar strengthens against such currency, the value of such index will be adversely affected and may reduce or eliminate any return on your investment. Fluctuations in currency exchange rates can have a continuing impact on the value of the indices, and any negative currency impact on the indices may significantly decrease the value of the Securities. The return on an index composed of the component securities where the closing price is not converted into U.S. dollars can be significantly different than the return on the indices which are converted into U.S. dollars.

Historical Graph The following graph sets forth the historical performance of the Basket. The graph covers the period from January 1, 2005 through August 27, 2010 and illustrates the effect of the offset and/or correlation among the Basket Components during such period. The graph does not attempt to show your expected return on an investment in the Securities. You cannot predict the future performance of either of the Basket Components or of the Basket as a whole, or whether the strengthening of one Basket Component will be offset by the weakening of the other Basket Component, based on their historical performance.

Use of Proceeds and Hedging The net proceeds we receive from the sale of the Securities will be used for general corporate purposes and, in part, by us or by one or more of our affiliates in connection with hedging our obligations under the Securities. The original issue price of the Securities includes the Agent’s commissions (as shown on the cover page of this pricing supplement) paid with respect to the

PS-44

Securities and the cost of hedging our obligations under the Securities. The cost of hedging includes the projected profit that our subsidiaries expect to realize in consideration for assuming the risks inherent in managing the hedging transactions. Since hedging our obligations entails risk and may be influenced by market forces beyond our or our subsidiaries’ control, such hedging may result in a profit that is more or less than initially projected, or could result in a loss. See also “Use of Proceeds” in the accompanying prospectus.
On or prior to the Pricing Date, we, through our subsidiaries or others, hedged our anticipated exposure in connection with the Securities by taking positions in the Basket Components or the component stocks of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index and in futures or options contracts on the Basket Components and any component stocks of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index listed on major securities markets. Such purchase activity could have increased the Initial Prices of the Basket Components, and, therefore, could have effectively increased the levels at which the Basket Components must close on the Valuation Date before you would receive at maturity a payment that is greater than the Stated Principal Amount of the Securities and increase the levels at which the Basket Components must close on each Trading Day during the Observation Period in order for the Basket Performance Factor to remain above the Trigger Level. In addition, through our subsidiaries, we are likely to modify our hedge position throughout the life of the Securities, including on the Valuation Date, by purchasing and selling the Basket Components and/or the stocks underlying the MSCI Emerging Markets Index or futures or options contracts on the Basket Components or the stocks underlying the MSCI Emerging Markets Index listed on major securities markets or positions in any other available securities or instruments that we may wish to use in connection with such hedging activities, including by selling any such securities or instruments on the Valuation Date. We cannot give any assurance that our hedging activities will not affect the value of the Basket Components during the Observation Period, including on the Valuation Date, and therefore adversely affect the value of the Securities or the payment you receive at maturity, if any.
Supplemental Information Concerning Plan of Distribution; Conflicts of Interest Under the terms and subject to the conditions contained in the U.S. distribution agreement referred to in the prospectus supplement under “Plan of Distribution,” the Agent, acting as principal for its own account, has agreed to purchase, and we have agreed to sell, the aggregate principal amount of Securities set forth on the cover of this pricing supplement. The Agent proposes initially to offer the Securities directly to the public at the public offering price set forth on the cover page of this pricing supplement. The Agent may distribute the Securities through Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC (“MSSB”), as selected dealer, or other dealers, which may include Morgan Stanley & Co. International plc (“MSIP”) and Bank Morgan Stanley AG. MSSB, MSIP and Bank Morgan Stanley AG are affiliates of

PS-45

Morgan Stanley. The Agent may allow a concession not in excess of $16.875 per Security to MSSB; provided that, concessions allowed to MSSB in connection with the offering may be reclaimed by the Agent if, within 30 days of the offering, the Agent repurchases the Securities distributed by MSSB. After the initial offering of the Securities, the Agent may vary the offering price and other selling terms from time to time.

MS & Co. is our wholly-owned subsidiary. MS & Co. will conduct this offering in compliance with the requirements of NASD Rule 2720 of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc., which is commonly referred to as FINRA, regarding a FINRA member firm’s distribution of the securities of an affiliate and related conflicts of interest. MS & Co. or any of our other affiliates may not make sales in this offering to any discretionary account.
In order to facilitate the offering of the Securities, the Agent may engage in transactions that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of the Securities. Specifically, the Agent may sell more Securities than it is obligated to purchase in connection with the offering, creating a naked short position in the Securities, for its own account. The Agent must close out any naked short position by purchasing the Securities in the open market. A naked short position is more likely to be created if the Agent is concerned that there may be downward pressure on the price of the Securities in the open market after pricing that could adversely affect investors who purchase in the offering. As an additional means of facilitating the offering, the Agent may bid for, and purchase, the Securities, the Basket Components or the component stocks of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index in the open market to stabilize the price of the Securities. Any of these activities may raise or maintain the market price of the Securities above independent market levels or prevent or retard a decline in the market price of the Securities. The Agent is not required to engage in these activities, and may end any of these activities at any time. An affiliate of the Agent has entered into a hedging transaction with us in connection with this offering of Securities. See “—Use of Proceeds and Hedging” above.
General
No action has been or will be taken by us, the Agent or any dealer that would permit a public offering of the Securities or possession or distribution of this pricing supplement or the accompanying prospectus supplement or prospectus in any jurisdiction, other than the United States, where action for that purpose is required. No offers, sales or deliveries of the Securities, or distribution of this pricing supplement or the accompanying prospectus supplement or prospectus or any other offering material relating to the Securities, may be made in or from any jurisdiction except in circumstances which will result in compliance with any applicable laws and regulations and will not impose any obligations on us, the Agent or any dealer.

PS-46

The Agent has represented and agreed, and each dealer through which we may offer the Securities has represented and agreed, that it (i) will comply with all applicable laws and regulations in force in each non-U.S. jurisdiction in which it purchases, offers, sells or delivers the Securities or possesses or distributes this pricing supplement and the accompanying prospectus supplement and prospectus and (ii) will obtain any consent, approval or permission required by it for the purchase, offer or sale by it of the Securities under the laws and regulations in force in each non-U.S. jurisdiction to which it is subject or in which it makes purchases, offers or sales of the Securities. We shall not have responsibility for the Agent’s or any dealer’s compliance with the applicable laws and regulations or obtaining any required consent, approval or permission.
Brazil
The Securities have not been and will not be registered with the Comissão de Valores Mobiliários (The Brazilian Securities Commission). The Securities may not be offered or sold in the Federative Republic of Brazil except in circumstances which do not constitute a public offering or distribution under Brazilian laws and regulations.
Chile
The Securities have not been registered with the Superintendencia de Valores y Seguros in Chile and may not be offered or sold publicly in Chile. No offer, sales or deliveries of the Securities or distribution of this pricing supplement or the accompanying prospectus supplement or prospectus, may be made in or from Chile except in circumstances which will result in compliance with any applicable Chilean laws and regulations.
Hong Kong
No action has been taken to permit an offering of the Securities to the public in Hong Kong as the Securities have not been authorized by the Securities and Futures Commission of Hong Kong and, accordingly, no advertisement, invitation or document relating to the Securities, whether in Hong Kong or elsewhere, shall be issued, circulated or distributed which is directed at, or the contents of which are likely to be accessed or read by, the public in Hong Kong other than (i) with respect to the Securities which are or are intended to be disposed of only to persons outside Hong Kong or only to professional investors within the meaning of the Securities and Futures Ordinance (Cap. 571) of Hong Kong (“SFO”) and any rules made thereunder or (ii) in circumstances that do not constitute an invitation to the public for the purposes of the SFO.
Mexico
The Securities have not been registered with the National Registry of Securities maintained by the Mexican National Banking and Securities Commission and may not be offered or sold publicly in

PS-47

Mexico. This pricing supplement and the accompanying prospectus supplement and prospectus may not be publicly distributed in Mexico.
Singapore
The Agent and each dealer represent and agree that they will not offer or sell the Securities nor make the Securities the subject of an invitation for subscription or purchase, nor will they circulate or distribute the pricing supplement or the accompanying prospectus supplement or prospectus or any other document or material in connection with the offer or sale, or invitation for subscription or purchase, of the Securities, whether directly or indirectly, to persons in Singapore other than:
(a) an institutional investor (as defined in section 4A of the Securities and Futures Act (Chapter 289 of Singapore (the “SFA”));
(b) an accredited investor (as defined in section 4A of the SFA), and in accordance with the conditions, specified in Section 275 of the SFA;
(c) a person who acquires the Securities for an aggregate consideration of not less than Singapore dollars Two Hundred Thousand (S$200,000) (or its equivalent in a foreign currency) for each transaction, whether such amount is paid for in cash, by exchange of shares or other assets, unless otherwise permitted by law; or
(d) otherwise pursuant to, and in accordance with the conditions of, any other applicable provision of the SFA.

Benefit Plan Investor Considerations Each fiduciary of a pension, profit-sharing or other employee benefit plan subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), which we refer to as a “plan,” should consider the fiduciary standards of ERISA in the context of the plan’s particular circumstances before authorizing an investment in the Securities. Accordingly, among other factors, the fiduciary should consider whether the investment would satisfy the prudence and diversification requirements of ERISA and would be consistent with the documents and instruments governing the plan.

In addition, we and certain of our subsidiaries and affiliates, including MS & Co., may each be considered “parties in interest” within the meaning of ERISA or “disqualified persons” within the meaning of the Code with respect to many plans, as well as many individual retirement accounts and Keogh plans (also “plans”). ERISA Section 406 and Code Section 4975 generally prohibit transactions between plans and parties in interest or disqualified persons. Prohibited transactions within the meaning of ERISA or the Code would likely arise, for example, if the Securities are acquired by or with the assets of a plan with respect to which MS & Co. or any of its affiliates is a service provider or other party in interest, unless the Securities are acquired pursuant to an exemption from the “prohibited transaction” rules. A violation of

PS-48

these “prohibited transaction” rules could result in an excise tax or other liabilities under ERISA and/or Section 4975 of the Code for those persons, unless exemptive relief is available under an applicable statutory or administrative exemption.
The U.S. Department of Labor has issued five prohibited transaction class exemptions (“PTCEs”) that may provide exemptive relief for direct or indirect prohibited transactions resulting from the purchase or holding of the Securities. Those class exemptions are PTCE 96-23 (for certain transactions determined by in-house asset managers), PTCE 95-60 (for certain transactions involving insurance company general accounts), PTCE 91-38 (for certain transactions involving bank collective investment funds), PTCE 90-1 (for certain transactions involving insurance company separate accounts) and PTCE 84-14 (for certain transactions determined by independent qualified professional asset managers). In addition, ERISA Section 408(b)(17) and Section 4975(d)(20) of the Code may provide an exemption for the purchase and sale of securities and the related lending transactions, provided that neither the issuer of the Securities nor any of its affiliates has or exercises any discretionary authority or control or renders any investment advice with respect to the assets of the plan involved in the transaction and provided further that the plan pays no more, and receives no less, than adequate consideration in connection with the transaction (the so-called “service provider” exemption). There can be no assurance that any of these class or statutory exemptions will be available with respect to transactions involving the Securities.
Because we may be considered a party in interest with respect to many plans, the Securities may not be purchased, held or disposed of by any plan, any entity whose underlying assets include “plan assets” by reason of any plan’s investment in the entity (a “plan asset entity”) or any person investing “plan assets” of any plan, unless such purchase, holding or disposition is eligible for exemptive relief, including relief available under PTCEs 96-23, 95-60, 91-38, 90-1, 84-14 or the service provider exemption or such purchase, holding or disposition is otherwise not prohibited. Any purchaser, including any fiduciary purchasing on behalf of a plan, transferee or holder of the Securities will be deemed to have represented, in its corporate and its fiduciary capacity, by its purchase and holding thereof that either (a) it is not a plan or a plan asset entity, is not purchasing such Securities on behalf of or with “plan assets” of any plan, or with any assets of a governmental, non-U.S. or church plan that is subject to any federal, state, local or non-U.S. law that is substantially similar to the provisions of Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (“Similar Law”) or (b) its purchase, holding and disposition are eligible for exemptive relief or such purchase, holding or disposition are not prohibited by ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or any Similar Law.
Due to the complexity of these rules and the penalties that may be imposed upon persons involved in non-exempt prohibited

PS-49

transactions, it is particularly important that fiduciaries or other persons considering purchasing the Securities on behalf of or with “plan assets” of any plan consult with their counsel regarding the availability of exemptive relief.
Each purchaser and holder of the Securities has exclusive responsibility for ensuring that its purchase, holding and disposition of the Securities do not violate the prohibited transaction rules of ERISA or the Code or any Similar Law. The sale of any of the Securities to any plan or plan subject to Similar Law is in no respect a representation by us or any of our affiliates or representatives that such an investment meets all relevant legal requirements with respect to investments by plans generally or any particular plan, or that such an investment is appropriate for plans generally or any particular plan.
However, individual retirement accounts, individual retirement annuities and Keogh plans, as well as employee benefit plans that permit participants to direct the investment of their accounts, will not be permitted to purchase or hold the Securities if the account, plan or annuity is for the benefit of an employee of Citigroup Global Markets Inc., MSSB or a family member and the employee receives any compensation (such as, for example, an addition to bonus) based on the purchase of the Securities by the account, plan or annuity.
Client accounts over which Citigroup Inc., Morgan Stanley, MSSB or any of their respective subsidiaries have investment discretion are not permitted to purchase the Securities, either directly or indirectly.

United States Federal Taxation Prospective investors should note that the discussion under the section called “United States Federal Taxation” in the accompanying prospectus supplement does not apply to the Securities issued under this pricing supplement and is superseded by the following discussion.

The following summary is a general discussion of the principal U.S. federal tax consequences of ownership and disposition of the Securities. This discussion applies only to initial investors in the Securities who:
· purchase the Securities at their “issue price”; and
· will hold the Securities as capital assets within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).
This discussion does not describe all of the tax consequences that may be relevant to a holder in light of the holder’s particular circumstances or to holders subject to special rules, such as:
· certain financial institutions;
· insurance companies;
· certain dealers and traders in securities, commodities or foreign currencies;

PS-50

· investors holding the Securities as part of a hedging transaction, “straddle,” conversion transaction, integrated transaction or constructive sale transaction;
· U.S. Holders, as defined below, whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar;
· partnerships or other entities classified as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes;
· regulated investment companies;
· real estate investment trusts;
· tax-exempt entities, including an “individual retirement account” or “Roth IRA” as defined in Section 408 or 408A of the Code, respectively; or
· persons subject to the alternative minimum tax.
In addition, we will not attempt to ascertain whether any issuers of any shares that comprise the iShares MSCI Emerging Markets Index (such shares hereafter referred to as “Underlying Shares”), are treated as “passive foreign investment companies” (“PFICs”) within the meaning of Section 1297 of the Code. If any of the issuers of the Underlying Shares were so treated, certain adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences might apply, to a U.S. Holder upon the sale, exchange or settlement of the Securities. You should refer to information filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission or other governmental authorities by the issuers of the Underlying Shares and consult your tax adviser regarding the possible consequences to you if any issuer is or becomes a PFIC.
As stated above, this discussion does not describe all of the tax consequences that may be relevant to a holder in light of the holder’s particular circumstances. As the law applicable to the U.S. federal income taxation of instruments such as the Securities is technical and complex, the discussion below necessarily represents only a general summary. Moreover, the effect of any applicable state, local or foreign tax laws is not discussed.
This discussion is based on the Code, administrative pronouncements, judicial decisions and final, temporary and proposed Treasury regulations, all as of the date hereof, changes to any of which subsequent to the date of this pricing supplement may affect the tax consequences described herein. Persons considering the purchase of the Securities should consult their tax advisers with regard to the application of the U.S. federal income tax laws to their particular situations as well as any tax consequences arising under the laws of any state, local or foreign taxing jurisdiction.
General
Under current law, each Security should be treated as a single financial contract that is an “open transaction” for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
Due to the absence of statutory, judicial or administrative authorities that directly address the treatment of the

PS-51

Securities or instruments that are similar to the Securities for U.S. federal income tax purposes, no assurance can be given that the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) or the courts will agree with the tax treatment described herein. Accordingly, you should consult your tax advisers regarding all aspects of the U.S. federal tax consequences of an investment in the Securities (including possible alternative treatments of the Securities) and with respect to any tax consequences arising under the laws of any state, local or foreign taxing jurisdiction. Unless otherwise stated, the following discussion is based on the treatment of each Security as an open transaction.
Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders
This section applies to you only if you are a U.S. Holder. As used herein, the term “U.S. Holder” means a beneficial owner of a Security that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes:
· a citizen or resident of the United States;
· a corporation, or other entity taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or any political subdivision thereof; or
· an estate or trust the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source.
The term “U.S. Holder” also includes certain former citizens and residents of the United States.
Tax Treatment of the Securities
Assuming the characterization of the Securities as set forth above is respected, the following U.S. federal income tax consequences should result.
Tax Treatment Prior to Maturity. A U.S. Holder should not be required to recognize taxable income over the term of the Securities prior to maturity, other than pursuant to a sale or exchange as described below.
Tax Basis . A U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the Securities should equal the amount paid by the U.S. Holder to acquire the Securities.
Sale, Exchange or Settlement of the Securities. Upon a sale or exchange of the Securities, or upon settlement of the Securities at maturity, a U.S. Holder should recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized on the sale, exchange or settlement and the U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the Securities sold, exchanged or settled. Subject to the discussion below concerning the potential application of the “constructive ownership” rule under Section 1260 of the Code, any gain or loss recognized upon the sale, exchange or settlement of a Security should be long-term

PS-52

capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder has held the Security for more than one year at such time.
Potential Application of the Constructive Ownership Rule. Because the Securities are linked to shares of an exchange-traded fund, although the matter is not clear, there is a substantial risk that an investment in the Securities will be treated as a “constructive ownership transaction.” A “constructive ownership transaction” includes a contract under which an investor will receive payment equal to or credit for the future value of any equity interest in a regulated investment company (such as shares of the iShares MSCI Emerging Markets Index Fund) (the “Underlying ETF Shares”)). Under the “constructive ownership” rule, if an investment in the Securities is treated as a “constructive ownership transaction” due to the inclusion of the Underlying ETF Shares as a Basket Component, all or a portion of any long-term capital gain recognized by a U.S. Holder in respect of a Security could be recharacterized as ordinary income (the “Recharacterized Gain”). In addition, an interest charge would also apply to any deemed underpayment of tax in respect of any Recharacterized Gain to the extent such gain would have resulted in the inclusion of gross income by the U.S. Holder in taxable years prior to the taxable year of the sale, exchange or settlement of the Securities (assuming such income accrued during the period the Securities were held at a constant rate equal to the applicable federal rate as of the date of sale, exchange or settlement of the Securities).
If an investment in the Securities is treated as a “constructive ownership transaction,” the Recharacterized Gain will equal the excess of (i) any long-term capital gain recognized by a U.S. Holder in respect of a Security over (ii) the “net underlying long-term capital gain” (as defined in Section 1260 of the Code). Under Section 1260 of the Code, the amount of net underlying long-term capital gain will be treated as zero unless otherwise “established by clear and convincing evidence.” U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisers regarding the potential application of the “constructive ownership” rule to the Securities.
Possible Alternative Tax Treatments of an Investment in the Securities
Due to the absence of authorities that directly address the proper tax treatment of the Securities, no assurance can be given that the IRS will accept, or that a court will uphold, the treatment described above. In particular, the IRS could seek to analyze the U.S. federal income tax consequences of owning a Security under Treasury regulations governing contingent payment debt instruments (the “Contingent Debt Regulations”).
If the IRS were successful in asserting that the Contingent Debt Regulations apply to the Securities, the timing and character of income thereon would be significantly affected. Among other things, a U.S. Holder would be required to accrue original issue discount (“OID”) on the Securities every year at a “comparable yield” determined at the time of their issuance. Furthermore, any

PS-53

gain realized by a U.S. Holder at maturity or upon a sale, exchange or other disposition of the Securities would generally be treated as ordinary income, and any loss realized at maturity would be treated as ordinary loss, to the extent of the U.S. Holder’s prior accruals of OID, and as capital loss thereafter. Because the Securities provide for the return of principal except when the Final Basket Performance Factor is less than or equal to 100% and the Basket Performance Factor has decreased to or below 65% on any Trading Day during the Observation Period, the risk that a Security will be recharacterized, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as a debt instrument rather than as an open transaction, is higher than with other equity and commodity-linked securities that do not provide for a return of principal.
Even if the Contingent Debt Regulations do not apply to the Securities, other alternative federal income tax characterizations of the Securities are also possible, which if applied could also affect the timing and character of the income or loss with respect to the Securities. On December 7, 2007, the Treasury Department and the IRS released a notice requesting comments on the U.S. federal income tax treatment of “prepaid forward contracts” and similar instruments, such as the Securities. The notice focuses in particular on whether to require holders of these instruments to accrue income over the term of their investment. It also asks for comments on a number of related topics, including the character of income or loss with respect to these instruments; whether short-term instruments should be subject to any such accrual regime; the relevance of factors such as the exchange-traded status of the instruments and the nature of the underlying property to which the instruments are linked; and whether these instruments are or should be subject to the “constructive ownership” regime (as discussed above). While the notice requests comments on appropriate transition rules and effective dates, any Treasury regulations or other guidance promulgated after consideration of these issues could materially and adversely affect the tax consequences of an investment in the Securities, possibly with retroactive effect. U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisers regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the Securities, including possible alternative treatments and the issues presented by this notice.
Backup Withholding and Information Reporting
Backup withholding may apply in respect of the amounts paid to a U.S. Holder, unless such U.S. Holder provides proof of an applicable exemption. The amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules are not an additional tax and may be refunded, or credited against the U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability, provided that the required information is furnished to the IRS. In addition, information returns will be filed with the IRS in connection with payments on the Securities and the proceeds from a sale, exchange or other disposition of the Securities, unless the U.S. Holder provides proof of an applicable exemption from the information reporting rules.

Tax Consequences to Non-U.S. Holders
This section applies to you only if you are a Non-U.S. Holder. As used herein, the term “Non-U.S. Holder” means a beneficial owner of a Security that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes:
· an individual who is classified as a nonresident alien;
· a foreign corporation; or
· a foreign trust or estate.
The term “Non-U.S. Holder” does not include any of the following holders:
· a holder who is an individual present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of disposition and who is not otherwise a resident of the United States for U.S. federal income tax purposes;
· certain former citizens or residents of the United States; or
· a holder for whom income or gain in respect of the Securities is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States.
Such holders should consult their tax advisers regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in a Security.
Tax Treatment upon Sale, Exchange or Settlement of the Securities
In general. Assuming the treatment of the Securities as set forth above is respected, a Non-U.S. Holder of the Securities will not be subject to U.S. federal income or withholding tax in respect of amounts paid to the Non-U.S. Holder.
If all or any portion of a Security were recharacterized as a debt instrument, any payment made to a Non-U.S. Holder with respect to the Securities would not be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax, provided that:
· the Non-U.S. Holder does not own, directly or by attribution, ten percent or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of our stock entitled to vote;
· the Non-U.S. Holder is not a controlled foreign corporation related, directly or indirectly, to us through stock ownership;
· the Non-U.S. Holder is not a bank receiving interest under Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, and
· the certification requirement described below has been fulfilled with respect to the beneficial owner.
Certification Requirement. The certification requirement referred to in the preceding paragraph will be fulfilled if the beneficial owner of a Security (or a financial institution holding the Securities on behalf of the beneficial owner) furnishes to us an

PS-55

IRS Form W-8BEN, on which the beneficial owner certifies under penalties of perjury that it is not a U.S. person.
On December 7, 2007, the Treasury Department and the IRS released a notice requesting comments on the U.S. federal income tax treatment of “prepaid forward contracts” and similar instruments, such as the Securities. While the notice requests comments on appropriate transition rules and effective dates, it is possible that any Treasury regulations or other guidance promulgated after consideration of these issues might affect the withholding tax consequences of an investment in the Securities, possibly with retroactive effect. Accordingly, if you are a non-U.S. investor, you should consult your tax adviser regarding the issues presented by the notice.
U.S. Federal Estate Tax
Individual Non-U.S. Holders and entities the property of which is potentially includible in such an individual’s gross estate for U.S. federal estate tax purposes (for example, a trust funded by such an individual and with respect to which the individual has retained certain interests or powers), should note that, absent an applicable treaty benefit, the Securities are likely to be treated as U.S. situs property subject to U.S. federal estate tax. Prospective investors that are non-U.S. individuals, or are entities of the type described above, should consult their tax advisers regarding the U.S. federal estate tax consequences of an investment in the Securities.
Backup Withholding and Information Reporting
Information returns may be filed with the IRS in connection with the payment on the Securities at maturity as well as in connection with the proceeds from a sale, exchange or other disposition. A Non-U.S. Holder may be subject to backup withholding in respect of amounts paid to the Non-U.S. Holder, unless such Non-U.S. Holder complies with certification procedures to establish that it is not a U.S. person for U.S. federal income tax purposes or otherwise establishes an exemption. Compliance with the certification procedures described above under “ ― Tax Treatment upon Sale, Exchange or Settlement of the Securities ― Certification Requirement” will satisfy the certification requirements necessary to avoid the backup withholding as well. The amount of any backup withholding from a payment to a Non-U.S. Holder will be allowed as a credit against the Non-U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability and may entitle the Non-U.S. Holder to a refund, provided that the required information is furnished to the IRS.
