How Do Currency Exchange Rates Work?
§ Exchange rates reflect the amount of one currency that can be exchanged for a unit of another currency.
§ The basket performance represents the combined performance of the basket currencies relative to the U.S. dollar as expressed by the exchange rates of the basket currencies from the pricing date to the valuation date.
§ In the case of the Australian dollar, the British pound and the Eurozone euro, exchange rates are expressed as the number of U.S. dollars per unit of the relevant basket currency. As a result, an increase in the exchange rate means that the relevant basket currency has appreciated / strengthened relative to the U.S. dollar. This means that one (1) unit of the relevant basket currency can purchase more U.S. dollars on the valuation date than it did on the pricing date. Viewed another way, it takes fewer of the relevant basket currency to purchase one (1) U.S. dollar on the valuation date than it did on the pricing date. In the example below, the Australian dollar has strengthened relative to the U.S. dollar by 10%:
| Pricing Date (# USD / 1
AUD) | Valuation Date (#USD / 1
AUD) |
| --- | --- |
| 0.88150 | 0.96965 |
§ Conversely, a decrease in the exchange rate means that the relevant basket currency has depreciated / weakened relative to the U.S. dollar. This means that one (1) unit of the relevant basket currency can purchase fewer U.S. dollars on the valuation date than it did on the pricing date. Viewed another way, it takes more of the relevant basket currency to purchase one (1) U.S. dollar on the valuation date than it did on the pricing date. In the example below, the Australian dollar has weakened relative to the U.S. dollar by 10%:
| Pricing Date (# USD / 1
AUD) | Valuation Date (#USD / 1
AUD) |
| --- | --- |
| 0.88150 | 0.79335 |
§ In the case of the Brazilian real, the Canadian dollar, the Chinese renminbi, the Indian rupee, the Japanese yen and the Swiss franc, exchange rates are expressed as the number of units of that currency per one U.S. dollar. As a result, a decrease in the exchange rate means that the relevant basket currency has appreciated / strengthened relative to the U.S. dollar. This means that it takes fewer of the relevant basket currency to purchase one (1) U.S. dollar on the valuation date than it did on the pricing date. Viewed another way, one (1) unit of the relevant basket currency can purchase more U.S. dollars on the valuation date than it did on the pricing date. In the example below, the Chinese renminbi has strengthened relative to the U.S. dollar by 10%:
| Pricing Date (# CNY / 1
USD) | Valuation Date (# CNY / 1
USD) |
| --- | --- |
| 6.82850 | 6.20773 |
§ Conversely, an increase in the exchange rate means that the relevant basket currency has depreciated / weakened relative to the U.S. dollar. This means that it takes more of the relevant basket currency to purchase one (1) U.S. dollar on the valuation date than it did on the pricing date. Viewed another way, one (1) unit of the relevant basket currency can purchase fewer U.S. dollars on the valuation date than it did on the pricing date.

| Tax
considerations: | Although the
matter is not free from doubt, the notes will be treated as “contingent
payment debt instruments” for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as
described in the section of the accompanying prospectus supplement called
“United States Federal Taxation — Tax Consequences to U.S.
Holders.” Under this treatment, if you are a U.S. taxable
investor, you will generally be subject to annual income tax based on the
“comparable yield” (as defined in the accompanying prospectus supplement)
of the notes, even though no interest is payable on the
notes. In addition, any gain recognized by U.S. taxable
investors on the sale or exchange, or at maturity, of the notes generally
will be treated as ordinary income. We have determined that the
“comparable yield” is a rate of 2.8024% per annum, compounded
semi-annually. Based on the comparable yield set forth above,
the “projected payment schedule” for a note (assuming an issue price of
$1,000) consists of a projected amount equal to $1,102.4185 due at
maturity. You
should read the discussion under “United States Federal Taxation” in the
accompanying prospectus supplement concerning the U.S. federal income tax
consequences of an investment in the notes. |
| | The following
table states the amount of original issue discount (“OID”) (without taking
into account any adjustments to reflect the difference, if any, between
the actual and the projected amount of any contingent payments on the
notes) that will be deemed to have accrued with respect to a note for each
accrual period (assuming a day count convention of 30 days per month and
360 days per year), based upon the comparable yield set forth
above. |

to the pricing date, we, through our subsidiaries or others, hedged our
anticipated exposure in connection with the notes by taking positions in
forwards and options contracts on the basket currencies. Such
purchase activity could have affected the initial exchange rate for the
basket currencies, and, therefore, could have affected the exchange rate
that must prevail with respect to the basket currencies on the valuation
date before you would receive at maturity a payment that exceeds the
stated principal amount of the notes. For further information

| Benefit plan investor
considerations : |
| --- |
| In addition,
we and certain of our subsidiaries and affiliates, MS & Co., may be
considered a “party in interest” within the meaning of ERISA, or a
“disqualified person” within the meaning of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended (the “Code”), with respect to many Plans, as well as many
individual retirement accounts and Keogh plans (also
“Plans”). Prohibited transactions within the meaning of ERISA
or the Code would likely arise, for example, if the notes 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 notes are acquired pursuant to an exemption from the “prohibited
transaction” rules. A violation of these “prohibited
transaction” rules could result in an excise tax or other liabilities
under ERISA and/or Section 4975 of the Code for such 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 notes. 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 notes. |
| Because we
may be considered a party in interest with respect to many Plans, the
notes 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 notes will be deemed to
have represented, in its corporate and its fiduciary capacity, by its
purchase and holding of the notes that either (a) it is not a Plan or a
Plan Asset Entity and is not purchasing such notes 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 and 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 transactions, it is particularly
important that fiduciaries or other persons considering purchasing the
notes on behalf of or with “plan assets” of any Plan consult with their
counsel regarding the availability of exemptive relief. |
| Each

Hypothetical Payout on the Notes
Presented below are three full examples showing how to calculate the payment at maturity.
The following hypothetical examples are provided for illustrative purposes only. Actual results will vary. Currency exchange rates or basket performances used in the examples below are hypothetical and do not reflect actual exchange rates or basket performances.
Example 1 : The basket performance is positive.
| Basket
Currency | Weighting | Hypothetical Initial Exchange
Rate | Hypothetical Final Exchange
Rate | % Appreciation
/ Depreciation |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| AUD | 11.6667% | 0.88150 | 0.96965 | 10% |
| GBP | 11.6667% | 1.60500 | 1.76550 | 10% |
| CAD | 11.6667% | 1.06190 | 0.96536 | 10% |
| EUR | 11.6667% | 1.42820 | 1.57102 | 10% |
| JPY | 11.6667% | 91.17000 | 82.88182 | 10% |
| CHF | 11.6667% | 1.04630 | 0.95118 | 10% |
| BRL | 10.0000% | 1.78460 | 1.62236 | 10% |
| CNY | 10.0000% | 6.82850 | 6.20773 | 10% |
| INR | 10.0000% | 46.84500 | 42.58636 | 10% |
Basket performance = Sum of currency performance values
[(Final AUD exchange rate / Initial AUD exchange rate) – 1] x 11.6667%, plus
[(Final GBP exchange rate / Initial GBP exchange rate) – 1] x 11.6667%, plus
[(Initial CAD exchange rate / Final CAD exchange rate) – 1] x 11.6667%, plus
[(Final EUR exchange rate / Initial EUR exchange rate) – 1] x 11.6667%, plus
[(Initial JPY exchange rate / Final JPY exchange rate) – 1] x 11.6667%, plus
[(Initial CHF exchange rate / Final CHF exchange rate) – 1] x 11.6667%, plus
[(Initial BRL exchange rate / Final BRL exchange rate) – 1] x 10.0000%, plus
[(Initial CNY exchange rate / Final CNY exchange rate) – 1] x 10.0000%, plus
[(Initial INR exchange rate / Final INR exchange rate) – 1] x 10.0000%
So, using the hypothetical exchange rates above:
| [(0.96965 /
0.88150) - 1] x 11.6667% = 1.1667%, plus |
| --- |
| [(1.76550 /
1.60500) - 1] x 11.6667% = 1.1667%, plus |
| [(1.06190 /
0.96536) - 1] x 11.6667% = 1.1667%, plus |
| [(1.57102 /
1.42820) - 1] x 11.6667% = 1.1667%, plus |
| [(91.17000 /
82.88182) - 1] x 11.6667% = 1.1667%, plus |
| [(1.04630 /
0.95118) - 1] x 11.6667% = 1.1667%, plus |
| [(1.78460 /
1.62236) - 1] x 10.0000% = 1.0000%, plus |
| [(6.82850 /
6.20773) - 1] x 10.0000% = 1.0000%, plus |
| [(46.84500 /
42.58636) - 1] x 10.0000% = 1.0000% |
Hypothetical basket p erformance = 10%
Payment at maturity = $1,000 + supplemental redemption amount
P articipation r ate = 110%
| Supplemental redemption a mount | $1,000 x basket
performance x participation rate |
| --- | --- |
| = | $1,000 x 10% x 110% =
$110 |
Because the basket performance is greater than zero, investors will receive a supplemental redemption amount. Therefore, the total payment at maturity per note will be $1,110, which is the sum of the $1,000 stated principal amount and the supplemental redemption amount of $110.

The basket performance may be equal to or less than 0% even though one or more basket currencies have strengthened relative to the U.S. dollar over the term of the notes as this strengthening may be moderated, or wholly offset, by the weakening or lesser strengthening relative to the U.S. dollar of one or more of the other basket currencies. In this example, the appreciation of the Canadian dollar, Japanese yen, Brazilian real, Chinese renminbi and India rupee is more than offset by the depreciation of the Australian dollar, British pound, Eurozone euro and Swiss franc.

R isk Factors
The notes are financial instruments that are suitable only for investors who are capable of understanding the complexities and risks specific to the notes. Accordingly, you should consult your own financial and legal advisers as to the risks entailed by an investment in the notes and the suitability of such notes in light of your particular circumstances. The notes are not secured debt and investing in the notes is not equivalent to investing directly in the basket currencies. The following is a non-exhaustive list of certain key considerations for investors in the notes. For a complete list of considerations and risk factors, please see the accompanying prospectus supplement and prospectus.
§ The notes do not pay interest and provide a minimum payment amount of only 95% of principal. The terms of the notes differ from those of ordinary debt securities in that the notes do not pay interest and provide for a minimum payment amount of only 95% of the principal at maturity. If the basket as a whole has depreciated, the payout at maturity will be an amount in cash that is less than the $1,000 stated principal amount of each note by an amount proportionate to the decrease in the value of the basket, subject to the minimum payment amount of $950 per note (95% of the stated principal amount).
§ The return on your investment in the notes may be less than the amount that would be paid on conventional debt securities issued by us with similar maturities . The overall return on your investment in the notes may be less than the amount that would be paid on a conventional debt security of comparable maturity issued by us. The payment of the supplemental redemption amount, if any, and the return of the stated principal amount of the notes at maturity may not compensate you for the effects of inflation and other factors relating to the value of money over time.
§ The notes are subject to the credit risk of Morgan Stanley, and any actual or anticipated changes in its credit ratings or credit spreads may adversely affect the market value of the notes. Investors are dependent on Morgan Stanley’s ability to pay all amounts due on the notes at maturity, and therefore investors are subject to Morgan Stanley’s credit risk and to 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 notes.
§ Currency exchange risk. Fluctuations in the exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and the basket currencies will affect the value of the notes. Exchange rate movements for a particular currency against the U.S. dollar are volatile and are the result of numerous factors specific to that country and the United States including the supply of, and the demand for, those currencies, as well as 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 different regions. Changes in exchange rates result over time from the interaction of many factors directly or indirectly affecting economic and political conditions in the related countries. Of particular importance to potential currency exchange risk are: (i) rates of inflation; (ii) interest rate levels; (iii) balance of payments; and (iv) the extent of governmental surpluses or deficits in the relevant foreign country and the U.S. All of these factors are in turn sensitive to the monetary, fiscal and trade policies pursued by the governments of various countries and the U.S. and other countries important to international trade and finance. The weakening of any of the basket currencies relative to the U.S. dollar may have a material adverse effect on the value of the notes and the return on an investment in the notes.
§ Government intervention could materially and adversely affect the value of the notes. Foreign exchange rates can be fixed by the sovereign government, allowed to float within a range of exchange rates set by the government, or left to float freely. Governments, including those issuing the basket currencies and the United States, use a variety of techniques, such as intervention by their central bank or imposition of regulatory controls or taxes, to affect the exchange rates of their respective currencies. They may also issue a new currency to replace an existing currency, fix the exchange rate or alter the exchange rate or relative exchange characteristics by devaluation or revaluation of a currency. Thus, a special risk in purchasing the notes is that their trading value and amount payable could be affected by the actions of sovereign governments, fluctuations in response to other market forces and the movement of currencies across borders.
§ The recent global financial crisis may heighten currency exchange risks. In periods of financial turmoil, capital can move quickly out of regions that are perceived to be more vulnerable to the effects of the crisis than others with sudden and severely adverse consequences to the currencies of those regions. In addition, governments around the world, including the United States government and governments of other major world currencies, have recently made, and may be expected to continue to make, very significant interventions in their economies, and sometimes directly in their currencies. Such interventions affect currency exchange rates globally and, in particular, the value of the basket currencies relative to the U.S. dollar. Further interventions, other government actions or suspensions of actions, as well as other changes in government economic policy or other financial or economic events affecting the currency markets, may cause currency exchange rates to fluctuate sharply in the future, which could have a material adverse effect on the value of the notes and your return on your investment in the notes at maturity. The basket of currencies

95% Principal Protected Currency-Linked Notes due July 29, 2013
Based on the Performance of a Basket of Nine Currencies Relative to the U.S. Dollar (70% Developed Markets + 30% Emerging Markets)
has been very volatile in recent periods and we can give no assurance that this volatility will not continue in the future. See the historical graph under “Basket Overview” and “Historical Information”.
§ Many unpredictable factors will affect the value of the notes. These include: (i) exchange rates of the basket currencies; (ii) interest rate levels; (iii) volatility of the basket currencies; (iv) geopolitical conditions and economic, financial, regulatory, political, judicial or other events that affect foreign exchange markets; (v) the time remaining to the maturity; (vi) availability of comparable instruments; (vii) intervention by the governments of the related basket currencies and the U.S.; and (viii) any actual or anticipated changes in our credit ratings or credit spreads. In addition, currency markets are subject to temporary distortions or other disruptions due to various factors, including lack of liquidity, participation of speculators and government regulation and intervention. As a result, the market value of the notes will vary and sale of the notes prior to maturity may result in a loss.
§ Even though the basket currencies trade around-the-clock, the notes will not. Because the inter-bank market in foreign currencies is a global, around-the-clock market, the hours of trading for the notes, if any, will not conform to the hours during which the underlying basket currencies are traded. Consequently, significant price and rate movements may take place in the underlying foreign exchange markets that will not be reflected immediately in the price of the notes. Additionally, there is no systematic reporting of last-sale information for foreign currencies which, combined with the limited availability of quotations to individual investors, may make it difficult for many investors to obtain timely and accurate data regarding the state of the underlying foreign exchange markets.
§ Changes in the value of one or more of the basket currencies may offset each other. A decrease in the value of one or more of the basket currencies may wholly or partially offset any increase in the value of the other basket currencies.
§ The basket is subject to a risk of significant adverse fluctuations because it includes emerging markets currencies. The notes are linked to the performance of a basket including 30% emerging markets currencies. There is an increased risk of significant adverse fluctuations in the performance of currencies of less developed and less stable economies. Currencies of emerging economies are often subject to more frequent and larger central bank interventions than currencies of developed countries and are also more likely to be affected drastic changes in monetary or exchange rate policies of the relevant country, which may negatively affect the value of the notes. For special risks related to the basket currencies, please see the relevant descriptions under “Annex I—Certain Additional Currency Exchange Rate Risks” in the accompanying prospectus supplement.
§ 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 notes in secondary market transactions will likely be lower than the original issue price, since the original issue price includes, and secondary market prices are likely to exclude, commissions paid with respect to the notes as well as the cost of hedging our obligations under the notes. 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. 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.
§ Economic interests of the calculation agent may be potentially adverse to the investors. The calculation agent is an affiliate of the issuer. Any determinations made by the calculation agent may adversely affect the payment to you at maturity.
§ The notes will not be listed on any securities exchange and secondary trading may be limited. The notes will not be listed on any securities exchange. Therefore, there may be little or no secondary market for the notes. MS & Co. may, but is not obligated to, make a market in the notes. Even if there is a secondary market, it may not provide enough liquidity to allow you to trade or sell the notes easily. Because we do not expect that other broker-dealers will participate significantly in the secondary market for the notes, the price at which you may be able to trade your notes 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 notes, it is likely that there would be no secondary market for the notes. Accordingly, you should be willing to hold your notes to maturity.
§ Hedging and trading activity by affiliates of the issuer could adversely affect exchange rates of the basket currencies. Affiliates of the issuer have carried out, and will continue to carry out, hedging activities related to the notes (and possibly to other instruments linked to the basket currencies), including trading in futures, forwards and/or options contracts on the basket currencies as well as in other instruments related to the basket currencies. Affiliates of the issuer also trade the basket currencies and other financial instruments related to the basket currencies on a regular basis as part of their general broker-dealer, proprietary trading and other businesses. Any of these hedging or trading activities on or prior to the pricing date could have increased the value of the basket currencies on the pricing date and, as a result, could have increased the value against the U.S. dollar which the basket currencies must attain on the valuation date before you receive a payment at maturity that exceeds the stated principal amount of the notes.

Historical Information
The first graph below sets forth the basket performance for the period from January 1, 2005 through January 25, 2010. The graph illustrates the effect of any offset and/or correlation among the basket currencies during such period. The graph does not attempt to show your expected return on an investment in the notes at maturity. The following tables set forth the published high, low and end-of-quarter exchange rates for each of the basket currencies for each quarter in the period from January 1, 2005 through January 25, 2010. The related graphs set forth daily exchange rates of each basket currency relative to the U.S. dollar for such period. We obtained the information in the tables and graphs below from Bloomberg Financial Markets (“Bloomberg”), without independent verification. We will not use Bloomberg to determine the applicable exchange rates. You cannot predict the future performance of any of the basket currencies or of the basket as a whole, or whether the strengthening of any of the basket currencies relative to the U.S. dollar will be offset by the weakening of other basket currencies relative to the U.S. dollar, based on their historical performance.
