 MORGAN STANLEY DPSP/START PLAN 
  
 Amended and Restated Effective As of October 1, 2002 
  
 SECTION
1.    INTRODUCTION 
  
 The Morgan Stanley DPSP/START Plan (the “Plan”) is
the result of the merger (the “Plan Merger”) of the Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated Deferred Profit Sharing Plan (“DPSP”) with and into the Dean Witter START Plan (Saving Today Affords Retirement Tomorrow) (the “START
Plan”), effective as of October 1, 2002. This document generally sets forth the terms of the Plan following the Plan Merger although certain provisions of, and supplements to, the Plan have earlier effective dates and reflect provisions of the
DPSP and the START Plan applicable prior to the Plan Merger. For determinations with respect to the contributions, benefits and other rights of participants for periods prior to the Plan Merger, the terms of the DPSP or the START Plan, as
applicable, then in effect shall apply. 
  
 The Plan is subject to further amendment in accordance with Section 19,
including amendments required to meet applicable rules and regulations of the Internal Revenue Service or the United States Department of Labor. Capitalized terms used in the text of the Plan are defined in Section 2. The Plan is intended to be a
profit-sharing plan for purposes of Code section 401(a)(27). 
  
 The Plan is an eligible individual account plan
(within the meaning of ERISA section 407(d)(3)) and shall be interpreted accordingly. The Plan provides for the acquisition and holding of “qualifying employer securities” as defined in ERISA section 407(d)(5). Up to 100% of the
Plan’s assets may be invested in qualifying employing securities. 

 
 1 








  
 SECTION 2.    DEFINITIONS 
  
 When used herein, the following terms shall have the following meanings unless the context clearly indicates a different meaning:

  
 “Accounts” means any or all of the Accounts maintained for a Participant pursuant to Section 9.

  
 “Administrative Committee” or “Committee” shall mean the committee established
to administer the Plan in accordance with Section 14. Other than in Section 8, the term “Committee” as used in this Plan shall refer to the Administrative Committee. 
  
 “Affiliated Group” means any trade or business (including any Participating Company), whether or not incorporated, which at the time of reference controls,
is controlled by or under common control with a Participating Company, within the meaning of Code section 414(b) or 414(c), or is a member of an affiliated service group which includes a Participating Company, within the meaning of Code section
414(m). To the extent required by law, all employees of all corporations which are members of a controlled group of corporations (as defined in Code section 414(b)) and all employees of all trades and businesses (whether or not incorporated) which
are under common control (as defined in Code section 414(c)) will be treated as employed by a single employer. 
  
 “After-Tax Contributions” means the contributions so described in Section 5(a)(ii).

to the extent that such amounts would have otherwise been Base Salary. Effective for periods on or after January 1, 2001, solely for purposes of Pre-Tax Contributions and not for purposes of Firm Contributions, Base Salary shall also include
overtime pay, night premiums, and retroactive corrective payments (in the year paid) to the extent that such payments would have been considered Base Salary at the time the services relating to such amounts were rendered, in each case, that are
received by an Eligible MS Employee during any year from a Participating Company. Effective January 1, 2002, for purposes of determining allocations of Firm Contributions under Section 6 of the Plan, the annual amount of Base Salary taken into
account for a MS Member in any given year shall not exceed 85% of the limit in effect under Code section 401(a)(17) for such year. If any person should receive Base Salary during the same payroll period from a Participating Company and also from a
Foreign Subsidiary and if such person is considered an Eligible MS Employee pursuant to the third sentence of the definition of that term, the aggregate amount so received shall be treated as his or her Base Salary.

may determine. Any Participant whose Pre-Tax Contributions are reduced or discontinued under this Section 5(b) shall make After-Tax Adjustment Contributions to the Plan during the remainder of the Plan Year equal to the percentage of the
Participant’s Earnings that the Committee has determined cannot be made as Pre-Tax Contributions; provided, that in order that the Plan may comply with the requirements of Code section 401(m) and the regulations thereunder, at any time during
the Plan Year, the Committee (at its sole discretion) may reduce the rate at which a Participant may contribute After-Tax Adjustment Contributions, or discontinue all such contributions, for the remainder of such Plan Year. Any reduction or
discontinuance of Pre-Tax or After-Tax Adjustment Contributions made pursuant to this Section
 

 
 31 








 
5(b) shall automatically cease to apply upon the close of the Plan Year in which it is made, or on such earlier date in such Plan Year as the Committee may determine. 
  
 (c)    Changing the Rate and Suspension of Employee Contributions.    A Participant may
elect as of any Valuation Date to change the Participant’s rate of Pre-Tax Contributions and/or After-Tax Contributions to any other rate that is within the applicable limitations described in Section 5(a). If a Participant is making After-Tax
Adjustment Contributions, and elects to reduce the rate of Pre-Tax Contributions, and if, as a result of such election, the Committee determines that it is no longer necessary for the Participant to make some or all of such After-Tax Adjustment
Contributions, the appropriate amount of the Participant’s After-Tax Adjustment Contributions shall automatically cease. The Participant may elect to discontinue all Pre-Tax Contributions and/or After-Tax Contributions at any time. Such
election shall take effect as soon as administratively practicable after receipt by the Committee. 
  
 (d)    Maximum Amount of Elective Deferrals.    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the amount of Elective Deferrals made with respect to any individual during a calendar
year under the Plan and all other plans, contracts or arrangements of any member of the Affiliated Group may not exceed the amount of the limitation in effect under Code section 402(g)(1) for taxable years beginning in such calendar year, except to
the extent permitted under Section 5(a)(iii) and Code section 414(v). 
  
 (e)    Distribution
of Excess Elective Deferrals.    No later than the date determined by the Committee that follows the close of a Participant’s tax year, the Participant may notify the Committee of the amount of the Excess Elective
Deferrals received by the Plan for the Participant’s tax year. A Participant shall be deemed to have notified the Plan of the amount of any such Excess Elective Deferrals to the extent the Participant has Excess Elective Deferrals for
 

 
 32 








 
the taxable year calculated by taking into account only Elective Deferrals under the Plan and any other Plan maintained by a member of the Affiliated Group. No later than the first April 15
following the close of such taxable year, the Plan shall distribute to the Participant the amount designated as an Excess Elective Deferral under this section (adjusted for any income or loss allocable to that amount). The amount of Excess Elective
Deferrals that may be distributed with respect to a Participant for a taxable year shall be reduced by any Excess Contributions previously distributed under Section 5(g)(i) or recharacterized under Section 5(g)(ii) with respect to the Participant
for the Plan Year beginning with or within the Participant’s taxable year for which such Excess Elective Deferrals have been made. In the event that a Participant’s Elective Deferrals and his elective deferrals (as defined by Code section
402(g)) to all plans other than this Plan exceed the limit set forth in Code section 402(g) and the Committee cannot reasonably distribute such Excess Elective Deferrals prior to the April 15 next following the close of the taxable year in which the
excess deferrals were made, then such Participant’s Excess Elective Deferrals shall remain in the Trust on the same terms and subject to the same distribution rules as other Elective Deferrals. 
  
 (f)    Actual Deferral Percentage Test. 
  
 (i)    Elective Deferrals hereunder shall not exceed the limits set forth in Code section 401(k)(3). For purposes of applying such
limits, Code section 401(k)(3) and the regulations thereunder are incorporated herein by reference and are hereinafter referred to as the “ADP test.” The ADP test shall be applied using the prior year testing method. 

 
 (ii)    All or part of the Qualified Matching Contributions and Qualified Non-Elective
Contributions made pursuant to Section 6(d) with respect to any or all Eligible
 

 
 33 








 
Employees may be treated as Elective Deferrals for purposes of the ADP test provided that each of the following requirements is met: 
  
 (1)    the amount of nonelective contributions, including the Qualified Non-Elective Contributions treated as Elective Deferrals for
purposes of the ADP test, satisfies the requirements of Code section 401(a)(4); 
  
 (2)    the amount of nonelective contributions, excluding those Qualified Non-Elective Contributions treated as Elective Deferrals for purposes of the ADP test and those Qualified Non-Elective Contributions
treated as Matching Contributions for purposes of the ACP test (described in Section 5(h) below), satisfies the requirements of Code section 401(a)(4); 
  
 (3)    all such Qualified Non-Elective Contributions and Qualified Matching Contributions are nonforfeitable when made and subject to
the same distribution restrictions that apply to Elective Deferrals, without regard to whether such Qualified Non-Elective Contributions or Qualified Matching Contributions are actually taken into account as Elective Deferrals; 

 
 (4)    all such Qualified Non-Elective Contributions and Qualified Matching Contributions
are allocated to the Accounts of Eligible Employees as of a date within the Plan Year (pursuant to Treas. Reg. section 1.401(k)-1(b)(4)(i)(A)) as if such contributions were Elective Deferrals and as if such contributions were made before the end of
the 12-month period immediately following the Plan Year to which the contributions relate; and 
  
 (5)    if the Plan uses the provisions of this Section 5(f)(ii) for purposes of the ADP test, then, for purposes of Code section 410(b) (other than the average benefit percentage test), the Plan may be aggregated
with other plans of the Affiliated Group to
 

 
 34 








 
which qualified nonelective contributions and qualified matching contributions are made. If the Plan Year is changed to satisfy the Code section 410(b) requirement that aggregated plans have the
same plan year, this Section 5(f)(ii) may apply during the resulting short plan year only if the Qualified Non-Elective Contributions and Qualified Matching Contributions during the short plan year satisfy Treas. Reg. section 1.401(k)-1(b)(4)(i) as
if such contributions were Elective Deferrals and such aggregated plans could otherwise be aggregated for purposes of Code section 410(b). 
  
 (g)    Distribution of Excess Contributions. 
  
 (i)    Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, Excess Contributions, plus any income and minus any loss allocable thereto, shall be distributed no later than the last day of any Plan Year to Participants
to whose Accounts Pre-Tax, Qualified Matching and Qualified Non-Elective Contributions were allocated for the preceding Plan Year. The Excess Contributions shall be adjusted for income or loss up to the date of distribution. The income or loss
allocable to Excess Contributions shall be determined by multiplying the income or loss allocable to the Participant’s Pre-Tax, Qualified Matching and Qualified Non-Elective Contributions for the Plan Year by a fraction, the numerator of which
is the Excess Contribution for the preceding Plan Year allocated to the Participant and the denominator of which is the sum of the Participant’s Account balances attributable to Pre-Tax, Qualified Matching and Qualified Non-Elective
Contributions on the last day of the preceding Plan Year. Amounts distributed under this Section 5(g) shall be made from amounts attributable to the Participant’s Pre-Tax, Qualified Matching and Qualified Non-Elective Contributions in
proportion to the Participant’s Pre-Tax, Qualified Matching and Qualified Non-Elective Contributions for the Plan Year. 

 
 35 








  
 (ii)    A Participant may treat Excess
Contributions as an amount distributed to the Participant and then contributed by the Participant to the Plan as After-Tax Adjustment Contributions. Such re-characterized amounts will remain nonforfeitable and subject to the same distribution
requirements as Pre-Tax Contributions. Amounts may not be re-characterized by a Highly Compensated Employee to the extent that such amount in combination with other After-Tax Adjustment Contributions made with respect to that Employee would exceed
the limits under Section 5(h). Re-characterization must occur no later than two and one-half months after the last day of the Plan Year in which the Excess Contributions arose and is deemed to occur no earlier than the date the last Highly
Compensated Employee is informed in writing of the amount which may be re-characterized and the consequences thereof. 
  
 (iii)    The amount of Excess Contributions to be distributed under Section 5(g)(i) or re-characterized under Section 5(g)(ii) shall be reduced by Excess Elective Deferrals previously distributed under
Section 5(e) for the Participant’s taxable year ending with or within the Plan Year for which such Excess Contributions have been made. 
  
 (h)    Actual Contribution Percentage Test. 
  
 (i)    After-Tax Adjustment Contributions hereunder shall not exceed the limits set forth in Code section 401(m)(2). For purposes of applying such limits, Code section 401(m)(2) and the regulations
thereunder are incorporated herein by reference and are hereinafter referred to as the “ACP test.” The ACP test shall be applied using the prior year testing method. 
  
 (ii)    All or part of the Qualified Non-Elective Contributions made pursuant to Section 6(d) and Elective Deferrals made with respect
to any or all Eligible Employees may be treated as Matching Contributions for purposes of the ACP test provided that each of the following requirements is met: 

 
 36 








  
 (1)    the amount of nonelective
contributions, including the Qualified Non-Elective Contributions treated as Matching Contributions for purposes of the ACP test, satisfies the requirements of Code section 401(a)(4); 
  
 (2)    the amount of nonelective contributions, excluding those Qualified Non-Elective Contributions treated as Matching Contributions
for purposes of the ACP test and those Qualified Non-Elective Contributions treated as Elective Deferrals under Treas. Reg. section 1.401(k)-1(b)(5) for purposes of the ADP test satisfies the requirements of Code section 401(a)(4); 

 
 (3)    all Elective Deferrals, whether or not treated as Matching Contributions hereunder,
satisfy the ADP test. 
  
 (4)    the Qualified Non-Elective Contributions are
allocated to the Accounts of Eligible Employees as of a date within the Plan Year (pursuant to Treas. Reg. section 1.401(k)-1(b)(4)(i)(A)) and the Elective Deferrals satisfy Treas. Reg. section 1.401(k)-1(b)(4)(i) for the Plan Year; and the
Qualified Non-Elective Contributions are made before the end of the 12-month period immediately following the Plan Year to which the contributions relate; and 
  
 (5)    if the Plan uses the provisions of this Section 5(h)(ii) for purposes of the ACP test, then for purposes of Code section 410(b)
(other than the average benefit percentage test), the Plan may be aggregated with other plans of the Affiliated Group to which qualified nonelective contributions and elective contributions are made. If the Plan Year is changed to satisfy the Code
section 410(b) requirement that aggregated plans have the same plan year, this Section 5(h)(ii) may apply during the resulting short plan year only if Elective Deferrals during the short plan year satisfy Treas. Reg. section 1.401(k)-1(b)(4) with
respect to the short 

 
 37 








 plan year and Qualified Non-Elective contributions satisfy Treas. Reg. section 1.401(k)-1(b)(4)(i)(A) with respect to the
short plan year as if such contributions were Elective Deferrals. 
  
 (iii)    Participating Companies may, in their sole discretion, satisfy the ACP test either by making additional Qualified Non-Elective Contributions or Qualified Matching Contributions pursuant to Section 6(d) or
by distributing Excess Aggregate Contributions pursuant to Section 5(i). The determination of Excess Aggregate Contributions shall be made after first determining the Excess Elective Deferrals and then determining the Excess Contributions for the
Plan Year. 
  
 (i)    Distribution of Excess Aggregate Contributions. 

 
 (i)    Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, Excess Aggregate Contributions
allocated to Highly Compensated Employees plus any income or minus any loss allocable thereto shall be forfeited, if forfeitable, or, if not forfeitable, distributed not later than the last day of each Plan Year on the basis of the respective
portions of such Excess Aggregate Contributions allocated to Highly Compensated Employees whose Contributions for a Plan Year must be reduced under Section 5(h) and Code section 401(m)(6)(C), to enable the Plan to satisfy the ACP test. 

 
 (ii)    The income or loss allocable to a Highly Compensated Employee’s Excess
Aggregate Contributions shall be determined by multiplying such income or loss by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Excess Aggregate Contribution for the preceding Plan Year allocated to the Highly Compensated Employee and the denominator of
which is the sum of the Highly Compensated Employee’s Account balances attributable to Contributions taken into account for purposes of the ACP test on the last day of the preceding plan year. 

 
 38 








  
 (iii)    Amounts distributed under this
Section 5(i) shall be withdrawn from amounts attributable to the Participant’s After-Tax Adjustment Contributions. 
  
 (j)    Salary Reduction and Tax Status of Pre-Tax Contributions.    For Federal tax purposes (and, wherever permitted, for state and local tax purposes), Pre-Tax Contributions and
catch-up Contributions shall be deemed to be Company Contributions to the Plan, and a Participant’s election to make such contributions shall constitute an election to have the amount of his or her compensation that otherwise would have been
reported as taxable compensation on Form W-2 (or its equivalent) reduced by the amount of such contributions. 
  
 (k)    Administrative Procedures.    The Committee may require Participants to complete such process as may be established by the Committee before any election under this Section 5 may
take effect. 

 
 39 








  
 SECTION 6.    EMPLOYER CONTRIBUTIONS 
  
 (a)    Amount of Firm Contributions.    The amount of the Firm Contribution to be made by
each Participating Company listed on Appendix B for each year shall be equal to such amount as may be determined by action of the Board of Directors before the end of such year. 
  
 (b)    Allocation of Firm Contributions Among MS Members.    The Firm Contribution for each Plan Year shall be allocated
among all eligible (in accordance with Section 3(b)) MS Members in Service (including those on Authorized Absence) on December 31 of such Plan Year and those otherwise eligible MS Members whose employment terminated during that Plan Year (i) upon
Retirement or (ii) by reason of death. Notwithstanding the foregoing, under the DPSP, an otherwise eligible Member whose employment terminated on or after November 1, 2001 and before December 31, 2001 as part of a reduction in force implemented by
such MS Member’s employer was entitled to a portion of the Firm Contribution for such Plan Year. The share of the Firm Contribution for any Plan Year allocable to any such MS Member shall be that amount which bears the same relationship to the
Firm Contribution for such Plan Year as the Base Salary received during such Plan Year by such MS Member (in respect of Service as an eligible MS Member) bears to the aggregate of Base Salaries received during such Year by all such MS Members (in
respect of Service as eligible MS Members), disregarding for this purpose Base Salaries of MS Members who, pursuant to Section 6(c), are not entitled to a share of the Firm Contribution for such Plan Year. Any amount so allocable to a MS Member who
has died shall be paid to the persons designated pursuant to Section 11(e). 
  
 (c)    Termination of Employment.    No portion of the Firm Contribution for any Plan Year shall be allocated to any MS Member whose employment terminates during such Plan Year for any
reason other than Retirement, death or under the circumstances described in the 

 
 40 








 second sentence of Section 6(b), and who is not an Eligible MS Employee on December 31 of such Plan Year. 
  
 (d)    Qualified Non-Elective and Qualified Matching Contributions.    The Participating
Companies may, in their sole and absolute discretion, make Qualified Non-Elective or Qualified Matching Contributions to the Plan for a Plan Year. Any such Qualified Matching Contributions may be made with respect to any or all Participants as
determined by the Company and shall be allocated in proportion to each such Participant’s Matched Contributions for the Plan Year. Qualified Non-Elective Contributions may be made with respect to any or all Eligible MS Employees or Eligible IIG
Employees, as determined by the Company, and shall be allocated in a manner determined by the Company. 

 
 41 








  
 SECTION 7.    ADDITIONAL CONTRIBUTIONS AND TRANSFERS 
  
 (a)    Rollover Contributions.    A Participant may at any time make a Rollover
Contribution to the Trust Fund if he or she provides satisfactory evidence to the Committee that the amount to be contributed qualifies as a Rollover Contribution and the Committee determines that such Rollover Contribution will not impose a
substantial administrative burden on the Trust Fund or the Plan. Unless the Committee determines otherwise on a nondiscriminatory basis, no Participant may make a Rollover Contribution to the Plan consisting of after-tax contributions to a
tax-qualified plan or the proceeds thereof.  
  
 A former Employee who has not elected or received a
distribution under Section 11, and who has an Account balance under the Plan may make a Rollover Contribution from any other U.S. tax qualified plan sponsored by the Company or an Affiliated Group member.  
  
 (b)    ESOP Diversification Transfers.    To the extent permitted by the ESOP, an ESOP
participant may elect to transfer to the Trust Fund an ESOP Diversification Transfer. Any such ESOP Diversification Transfer shall be credited to an Account of such Participant and shall be treated in the same manner as any other amounts
under the Plan. As set forth in Section 10(a)(ii), amounts attributable to an IIG Participant’s ESOP Diversification Transfer shall continue to be subject to the vesting schedule applicable to the transferred amounts under the ESOP. The funds
transferred shall be allocated to one or more Investment Funds in accordance with Section 8(d). 

 
 42 








  
 SECTION 8.    INVESTMENT AND VALUATION OF THE TRUST FUND 

 
 (a)    The Trust Agreement.    The Company shall enter into a Trust Agreement
which shall contain such provisions as shall render it impossible for any part of the corpus of the trust or income therefrom to be at any time used for, or diverted to, purposes other than for the exclusive benefit of Participants or as provided in
Section 18. Any or all rights or benefits accruing to any person under the Plan with respect to any contributions deposited under the Trust Agreement shall be subject to all the terms and provisions of the Trust Agreement. 
  
 (b)    Investment of the Trust Fund. 
  
 (i)    All of the assets of the Trust Fund shall be invested in the Investment Funds as described below. The Investment Funds shall
consist of the Morgan Stanley Stock Fund and such other investment options as shall be designated by the Investment Committee from time to time. The Investment Funds designated hereunder may include, but are not limited to, registered investment
companies for which the Company or an affiliate of the Company acts as investment adviser, administrator or transfer agent. The Investment Committee may, from time to time, establish additional Investment Funds, liquidate or remove existing
Investment Funds, limit the amounts or contributions that may be made to an existing Investment Fund, change the permissible investment of or investment guidelines applicable to an Investment Fund or reopen a restricted Investment Fund to new
investments by Participants. 
  
 (ii)    The Morgan Stanley Stock Fund shall be
invested and reinvested exclusively in Morgan Stanley Stock, except that pending investments in Morgan Stanley Stock, amounts held in the Morgan Stanley Stock Fund may be invested and reinvested temporarily in interest-bearing short-term
investments, including (without limitation) savings accounts, certificates of deposit, money market instruments, United States treasury bills and such group 

 
 43 








 annuity contracts, insurance company pooled separate accounts, bank common or collective trust funds, mutual funds and
other pooled investment funds as the Trustee deems suitable for temporary investments of the Morgan Stanley Stock Fund. The Morgan Stanley Stock Fund shall consist of all Morgan Stanley Stock Fund investments held by the Trustee and all cash held by
the Trustee which is derived from dividends, interest or other income from Morgan Stanley Stock Fund investments, from Matching, Qualified Non-elective and Qualified Matching Contributions, from any Pre-Tax, Firm, Rollover and Qualified Plan
Transfer Contributions directed by the Participants to be invested in the Morgan Stanley Stock Fund, and from the proceeds of the sale or redemption of Morgan Stanley Stock Fund investments. Any such cash held by the Trustee shall be invested as
provided in this Section 8(b)(ii). The Morgan Stanley Stock Fund may be removed as an Investment Fund only by amendment to the Plan adopted in accordance with Section 19(a). 
  
 (iii)    Pending investment and reinvestment or pending payments as provided herein, the Trustee may invest temporarily all or any part
of the Trust Fund comprising any one or more of the Investment Funds, in securities or other property of a fixed-income nature, including but not limited to commercial paper and notes of finance companies, or part interest therein, or in obligations
issued or guaranteed as to interest and principal by the United States Government or any instrumentality or agency thereof, excluding the notes or other securities of any Participating Company under the Plan. 
  
 (iv)    The Trustee may invest and reinvest all or any part of the Trust Fund comprising any one or
more of the Investment Funds through the medium of any one or more common, collective or commingled trust funds maintained by it or by an investment manager (as defined in ERISA section 3(38)) appointed by the Investment Committee for the purpose,
each of 

 
 44 








 which is invested principally in property of the kind authorized for that Investment Fund, and each of which is qualified
under the provisions of Code section 401(a) and exempt under the provisions of Code section 501(a) and during such period of time as an investment through any such medium exists, the declaration of trust of such trust fund shall constitute a part of
the Agreement. 
  
 (v)    All interest, dividends and other income, as well as
cash received from the sale or exchange of securities or other properties produced by each of the Investment Funds, shall be reinvested in the same Investment Fund which produced such interest, dividends, other income or cash. 

 
 (vi)    The Trustee shall transfer moneys between Investment Funds in accordance with the
direction of the Investment Committee or its delegate, subject to the limitations of Section 8(d). 
  
 (vii)    The Trustee may retain in cash and keep unproductive of income such amount of the Trust Fund, or of any Investment Fund, as is deemed advisable. The Trustee shall not be required to pay interest on such
cash balances or on cash pending investment. 
  
 (viii)    The Trustee is
specifically authorized to permit assets of the Trust Fund to be held outside the United States in accordance with Labor Department Regulation § 2550.404b-1. 
  
 (c)    Valuation of the Trust Fund.    As of the Valuation Date and as of any other date fixed by the Investment Committee,
the Trust Fund shall be valued on the basis of current market or fair value as determined by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions of the Trust Agreement. 

 
 45 








  
 (d)    Investment Option Elections. 

 
 (i)    Each Participant who makes a contribution or on whose behalf a contribution is made
to the Plan may elect, as to all such contributions, one or more of the investment options specified under Section 8(b)(i), provided that any Qualified Non-elective or Qualified Matching Contributions made on behalf of a Participant shall be
invested automatically in Morgan Stanley Stock, subject to the Participant’s right to transfer investments pursuant to Section 8(d)(ii). An election made pursuant to this Section 8(d)(i) shall direct the Trustee to invest such contributions in
one or more of the Investment Funds in multiples of 1%. Such an election shall remain in effect and be deemed applicable to all contributions made by or on behalf of such Participant unless and until a new election is filed. An election or change of
election pursuant to this Section 8(d)(i) shall be subject to such conditions or limitations as the Investment Committee shall determine. To the extent the Participant does not make an election pursuant to this Section 8(d)(i), contributions made by
or on behalf of such Participant shall be invested in the money market fund or the money market fund equivalent as determined by the Investment Committee from time to time. 
  
 (ii)    Each Participant shall have the right to elect that as of any Valuation Date all or any multiple of 1% of his interest in any
Investment Fund shall be liquidated and the proceeds thereof transferred to any other Investment Fund, subject to such conditions or limitations as the Investment Committee shall determine, and further subject to any transfer restrictions with
respect to any of the Investment Funds. Assets shall be transferred from the Participant’s Accounts in the order determined by the Investment Committee. 
  
 (iii)    (1)    Effective June 25, 2002, any portion of the Account of a Participant, including any portion
attributable to an ESOP Diversification Transfer, that is 

 
 46 








 invested in the Morgan Stanley Stock Fund, automatically or pursuant to such Participant’s direction, shall, in
accordance with procedures established by the Administrative Committee, on or about the Tuesday preceding each record date for dividends on Morgan Stanley Stock, be transferred to the ESOP and allocated to an account established for such person
under the ESOP (the “Transferred Subaccount”). Subject to Section 8(d)(iii)(2), on and after the date on which an amount is transferred to the ESOP, a Participant shall have no right to benefits under this Plan with respect to the amount
so transferred, and all rights with respect to such amount shall be enforceable only against the ESOP. 
  
 (2)    A Participant shall be entitled to direct that all or a portion of his or her Transferred Subaccount under the ESOP be invested in any Investment Fund available under this Plan in the manner provided in
Section 8(d)(ii). If a Participant makes such a direction with respect to his or her Transferred Subaccount, in accordance with such rules and procedures as the Administrative Committee may determine, the amounts subject to such direction shall be
transferred back to this Plan from the ESOP, allocated to the appropriate Account of the Participant under this Plan, and invested as so directed. 
  
 (iv)    The Administrative Committee may require Participants to complete such process as may be established by such Committee before
any election under this Section 8(d) may take effect. The Committee shall adopt such rules and procedures as it deems advisable with respect to all matters relating to the election and use of the Investment Funds. The Committee shall have the right,
without prior notice to any Participant, to suspend for a limited period of time daily transfers between and among Investment Funds or to delay effecting transfers between and among Investment Funds for one or more days if the Committee determines
that such action is necessary or advisable (1) in light of unusual market conditions, 

 
 47 








 (2) in response to technical or mechanical problems with the automated system or the Plan’s third-party record
keeper or (3) in connection with any suspension of normal trading activity on the New York Stock Exchange or other applicable exchange or automated trading system. 
  
 (v)    Notwithstanding anything in this Section 8(d) or any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, any election by a Participant
involving an acquisition or disposition of Morgan Stanley Stock shall be subject to such conditions and restrictions as the Administrative Committee determines to be necessary or advisable to ensure compliance with all applicable securities laws.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Committee may from time to time prescribe rules of uniform application to those Participants subject to Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, to ensure
compliance with the conditions for exemption in Rule 16b-3 under such Section. 
  
 (e)    Voting and Tendering of Morgan Stanley Stock.    The provisions of Section 8.01, 8.02 and 8.03 of the ESOP with respect to the voting and tenders of allocated shares of Morgan
Stanley Stock and the responsibilities of the Trustee shall also apply under this Plan. 
  
 (f)    Investment Committee. 
  
 (i)    The management of the Investment Funds shall be placed in the Investment Committee. The members of the Committee shall be appointed from time to time by, and shall serve during the pleasure of, the Board of
Directors. The Investment Committee shall consist of no fewer than three persons, each of whom shall be an Employee and/or an Advisory Director of the Company or a member of the Affiliated Group. 
  

(1)    The Investment Committee shall be a “Named Fiduciary” with respect to the Plan, as such term is defined in ERISA
section 402(a). 

 
 48 








  
 (2)    Each person who has Fiduciary
Responsibilities with respect to the Plan shall be bonded if and as required by ERISA. 
  
 (ii)    A majority of the members of the Investment Committee at the time in office shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of its business. All resolutions or other actions taken by the Investment Committee
at any meeting shall be by the vote of a majority of those present at any such meeting. 
  
 (iii)    (1)    The members of the Investment Committee shall elect one of their number as Chairman and shall elect a Secretary who may, but need not, be a member of the Investment Committee;
may appoint from their number such subcommittees with such powers as the Investment Committee shall determine; may authorize one or more of their number or any agent to take any action or to execute or deliver any instructions on behalf of the
Investment Committee; and may employ such counsel and agents, and obtain such clerical services, as the Investment Committee may require in carrying out the provisions of the Plan. 
  
 (2)    The Fiduciary Responsibilities of the Investment Committee may be allocated among its members or delegated to persons who are not
members of the Investment Committee as the Investment Committee in its sole discretion shall decide. Upon an allocation or delegation of Fiduciary Responsibilities, the person or persons to whom such Fiduciary Responsibilities are allocated or
delegated shall be solely responsible for the performance of such Fiduciary Responsibilities, and the members of the Investment Committee to whom such Fiduciary Responsibilities have not been allocated shall not in any respect be responsible for the
performance of such Fiduciary Responsibilities, except as provided by law. The Investment Committee shall perform its allocation and delegation functions in the same manner as it performs all of its other Fiduciary Responsibilities pursuant to
Section 8(f)(iii)(3) below. 

 
 49 








  
 (iv)    To the fullest extent permitted by
law, the Company will indemnify and save harmless each member of the Investment Committee and each other person to whom Fiduciary Responsibilities are delegated under Section 8(f)(iii)(2) against any cost or expense (including attorneys’ fees)
or liability (including any sum paid in settlement of the claim with the approval of the member’s employer) arising out of any act or omission to act as a member of the Investment Committee or as delegate, except in the case of willful
misconduct or lack of good faith. This Section 8(f)(iv) shall not supersede any separate agreement or contract between the Company or the Plan and any person to whom Fiduciary Responsibilities are delegated. 
  
 (v)    Any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the Investment Committee may be
taken without a meeting if a written consent thereto is signed by all members of the Investment Committee and such written consent is filed with the records of the proceedings of the Investment Committee. 
  
 (vi)    Members of the Investment Committee may participate in a meeting of the Investment Committee
by means of conference telephone or similar communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other, and participation in a meeting pursuant to this Section shall constitute presence in person at such
meeting. 

 
 50 








  
 SECTION 9.    ACCOUNTS 
  

The Committee shall cause to be maintained on behalf of each Participant such Accounts as may be required by applicable law or deemed appropriate by the Committee to
reflect the Participant’s interest under the Plan and in each of the applicable Investment Funds. Each of a Participant’s Accounts shall be revalued at each Valuation Date. By this revaluation, the balance in each of the Participant’s
Accounts will be increased or decreased by such Participant’s proportionate share of any realized investment income, gains and losses of the applicable Investment Funds, and by any increase or decrease in the fair market value of the assets of
such Investment Funds, which has occurred since the immediately preceding Valuation Date. At least annually the Committee shall furnish to each Participant having an interest in the Trust Fund a summary statement of the transactions of the Trust
Fund since the date of the last previous statement so furnished and of his or her interest in the Trust Fund. Any such Participant who does not notify the Committee as to any objection which he or she may have with respect to any such statement
within 90 days after the date of such distribution thereof shall be conclusively presumed to have approved the transactions reflected therein. 

 
 51 








  
 SECTION 10.    PLAN BENEFITS 
  
 (a)    Amount of Benefit.    A MS Participant’s Plan Benefit shall be 100% of the MS
Participant’s Accounts. An IIG Participant’s Plan Benefit shall be (i) 100% of the IIG Participant’s Accounts other than any amounts attributable to Matching Contributions made to the START Plan for years beginning before January 1,
2001 and ESOP Diversification Transfers and (ii) the IIG Participant’s vested interest in amounts attributable to Matching Contributions and ESOP Diversification Transfers. 
  
 (i)    Vesting in Matching Contributions.    Any amounts attributable to Matching Contributions made on
behalf of an IIG Participant and not transferred from the START Plan to the ESOP in 2001 as described in Supplement G to this Plan, shall vest in accordance with the rules previously applicable under the START Plan and now set forth in Supplement E
to this Plan. 
  
 (ii)    Vesting in ESOP Diversification
Transfers.    Amounts attributable to an IIG Participant’s ESOP Diversification Transfers shall continue to be subject to the vesting schedule applicable to the transferred amounts under the terms of the ESOP.

  
 (b)    Forfeitures.    (i)    Any non-vested
amounts attributable to an IIG Participant’s Matching Contributions and/or ESOP Diversification Transfers shall be forfeited as of the end of the month in which such IIG Participant’s Termination of Employment occurs. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if an IIG Participant who terminates employment shall subsequently be credited with one Year of Service before incurring five consecutive One Year Breaks, the amount so forfeited shall be restored to such IIG Participant’s Accounts
without adjustment for income, gains or losses; provided that such restoration shall be made from forfeitures arising in the Plan Year in which the restoration occurs and, to the extent necessary, from a special Company 

 
 52 








 contribution which shall be made for that purpose. The foregoing forfeiture provisions shall only apply to the extent permitted by applicable
law. 
  
 (ii)    Any forfeitures remaining after restoration payments are made
may be applied to pay Plan expenses or as otherwise determined by the Committee. At the discretion of the Committee, forfeitures from amounts attributable to ESOP Diversification Transfers also may be transferred back to the ESOP. 

 
 (c)    Payee’s Location Not Ascertainable for 60 Months.    In the event
any Plan Benefit has been due and payable under the Plan for a period of more than 60 months and cannot be paid because the location of the payee cannot be ascertained, the entire amount of such Plan Benefit shall be forfeited; provided, that in the
event the location of such payee is ascertained, the Plan Benefit forfeited shall be restored, without adjustments for income, gains or losses and shall be paid to such payee in a single lump sum payment; and provided, that such restoration shall be
made out of forfeitures arising in the Plan Year in which the restoration occurs and, to the extent necessary, out of a special Company contribution which shall be made for that purpose. 

 
 53 








  
 SECTION 11.    DISTRIBUTION OF PLAN BENEFITS 
  
 The following rules shall apply with respect to distributions following the Plan Merger. Additional distribution forms not explicitly
provided for in this Section 10 and Section 11 also shall be available to the extent required by Code section 411(d)(6). For distributions prior to the Plan Merger, the rules of the Plan or the DPSP, as applicable, then in effect shall apply. The
distribution provisions of the Plan and the DPSP in effect prior to the Plan Merger are set forth in Supplement D. 
  
 (a)    Form of Distribution.    Following a Participant’s termination of employment with all members of the Affiliated Group, the Participant may request a distribution of all or
any portion of his or her Plan Benefit, in accordance with procedures specified by the Committee. Distributions shall be made in the form of a lump sum consisting of, at the election of the Participant, either a check for the entire value of the
Participant’s Accounts or (i) a certificate or certificates for whole shares of stock representing the portion of the Participant’s Accounts invested in the Morgan Stanley Stock Fund, plus (ii) a check for any fractional share of stock and
uninvested cash in the portion of the Participant’s Accounts invested in the Morgan Stanley Stock Fund, and for the entire value of the portions of the Participant’s Accounts invested in all other Investment Funds. A Participant may not
receive more than two distributions in any calendar year, provided that a Participant may receive more than two distributions in a calendar year if, after requesting two partial distributions in a calendar year, the Participant elects a lump sum
distribution of the total value of his or her interest in the Trust Fund. A Participant may not receive any distribution which is less than $500 or, if less, the amount of the Participant’s remaining Plan Benefit. In the case of a distribution
under this Section 11(a) which is less than the entire amount of a Participant’s Plan Benefit, the Committee shall withdraw assets from the 

 
 54 








 Participant’s Accounts in the order determined by the Committee on a uniform and nondiscriminatory basis in accordance with applicable law.

  
 (b)    Time of Distribution.    Subject to Section 11(c), a
Participant’s Plan Benefit shall be distributed as soon as practicable after the date as of which the Participant’s employment with all members of the Affiliated Group terminates. Any allocation of contributions and forfeitures made
subsequent to the distribution of a Participant’s Account in a lump sum shall be paid as soon as practicable after the date of such allocation. 
  
 (c)    Right to Deferred Distribution.    If a Participant whose vested Accounts exceed $5,000 on the date the distribution would commence under Section
11(b) does not consent to such distribution, then payment of the Participant’s Plan Benefit shall, subject to Section 13(a), be deferred to such date as the Participant shall elect. Effective September 1, 2002, if a Participant whose vested
accounts under this Plan, the ESOP, and, prior to the Plan Merger, the DPSP exceed $5,000 on the date the distribution would commence under Section 11(b) does not consent to such distribution, then payment of the Participant’s Plan Benefit
shall, subject to Section 13(a), be deferred to such date as the Participant shall elect. 
  
 Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, unless a Participant otherwise elects, the distribution of a Participant’s Plan Benefit shall begin not later the 60th day after the close of the Plan Year in which the latest of the following events occurs:

  
 (i)    The Participant attains Normal Retirement Age. 

 
 (ii)    The 10th anniversary of the date on which the Participant commenced participation
in the Plan. 
  
 (iii)    The termination of the Participant’s employment
with the Affiliated Group. 

 
 55 








  
 If a distribution is one to which Code sections 401(a)(11) and 417 do not apply,
such distribution may commence less than 30 days after the notice required under Treas. Reg. section 1.411(a)-11(c) is given, provided that: 
  
 (x)    the Committee clearly informs the Participant that the Participant has a right to a period of at least 30 days after receiving the notice to consider the decision of whether
or not to elect a distribution (and, if applicable, a particular distribution option), and 
  
 (y)    the Participant, after receiving the notice, affirmatively elects a distribution. 
  
 Accounts pending distribution shall continue to share in the investment experience of the Trust Fund until the Valuation Date as of which distributed. 
  
 (d)    Death of Participant.    If a Participant dies prior to receiving the Participant’s entire Plan Benefit, the
remaining portion of the Participant’s Plan Benefit shall be paid to the Participant’s surviving spouse, but if there is no surviving spouse, or, if the surviving spouse consents in a manner conforming to a qualified election under the
Retirement Equity Act of 1984, as amended, then to the Participant’s Beneficiary; provided that, following the death of a Participant on or after January 1, 2001, any amount distributed pursuant to this Section 11(d) shall be distributed no
later than December 31st of the calendar year which contains the fifth anniversary of the Participant’s death. Subject to the provisions of the foregoing sentence, upon the death of a Participant, the Participant’s Beneficiary, if any,
shall be entitled to make such elections or decisions as the Participant was authorized to make under this Section 11, and any provision as to deferrals and elections shall be made with reference to the date of death of the Participant (instead of
the date he or she terminated employment), provided, that upon the death of a MS Participant who had elected to receive payment of his or her Plan Benefit pursuant to an 

 
 56 








 installment payment option available under the Plan (and now set forth in Supplement D to the Plan) for distributions commencing prior to March
1, 2001, the remaining value of the Participant’s Plan Benefit shall be paid to his or her Beneficiary in a single lump sum. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if prior to being notified of the death of a Participant the Committee has made a
distribution or instructed the Trustee to make a distribution to any such Participant, the provisions of this Section 11(d) shall not be applicable and such distribution shall be considered to have been made in accordance with the other provisions
of this Section 11. 
  
 (e)    Designation of Beneficiary. 
  
 (i)    Any designation of a Beneficiary shall be made in writing and filed with the Committee. A
Beneficiary designation may be revoked by the Participant at any time without notice to or consent of any previously designated Beneficiary; provided, that any new designation of Beneficiary must comply with any applicable spousal consent
requirement; and provided further, that no designation shall be effective unless filed with the Committee prior to the death of the Participant. If no Beneficiary is designated, or the designated Beneficiary does not survive the Participant and no
alternative Beneficiary is designated, the Beneficiary shall be the Participant’s surviving spouse, or, if none, the Participant’s estate. If the designated Beneficiary cannot be located by the Committee for a period of one year following
death, despite mailing to such Beneficiary’s last known address, and the Beneficiary has not made written claim within such period to the Committee, the Beneficiary shall be treated as having predeceased the Participant. 

 
 (ii)    In the case of a Participant who participated in both the START Plan and the DPSP
at different times prior to the Plan Merger and had a Beneficiary designation in effect under each plan, the Beneficiary designation in effect under the plan in which the 

 
 57 








 Participant was an active participant immediately prior to the Plan Merger (or, in the case of a Participant who was not
an active participant in either plan immediately prior to the Plan Merger, the Beneficiary designation in effect under the plan in which the Participant was most recently an active participant) shall control as of the Plan Merger, and the
Beneficiary designation in effect under the other plan shall be void from that point on. 
  
 (iii)    Any Beneficiary designation made by a Participant under this Plan on or after the date of the Plan Merger shall not be effective unless the designated Beneficiary is the same as the beneficiary designated
by the Participant under the ESOP. 
  
 (f)    Administrative
Procedures.    The Committee may require Participants to complete such process as may be established by the Committee before any election under this Section 11 may take effect; provided, that such process shall conform to
applicable rules under the Code and that the Committee shall provide the Participant and the Participant’s surviving spouse or Beneficiary such information, within such time periods, as is required under the Code and applicable law.

  
 (g)    Optional Direct Rollover of Eligible Rollover
Distributions.    Effective for distributions made after December 31, 1992, a Participant who receives a distribution described in Section 11(a) or a withdrawal described in Section 12 may direct the Committee to directly
roll over all or any portion of the distribution or withdrawal to an individual retirement plan described in Code sections 408(a) or 408(b), to another employer’s qualified plan described in Code sections 401(a)(31)(D) and 402(c)(8)(B), to an
annuity contract described in Code section 403(b), or to an eligible plan under Code section 457(b) that is maintained by a state, political subdivision of a state, or any agency or instrumentality of a state or political subdivision of a state, and
which agrees to separately account for amounts transferred into such plan from this 

 
 58 








 Plan. A portion of a distribution shall not fail to be an eligible rollover distribution merely because the portion consists of after-tax
employee contributions that are not includible in gross income. However, such portion may be transferred only to an individual retirement account or annuity described in Code section 408(a) or (b), or to a qualified defined contribution plan
described in Code section 401(a) or 403(a) that agrees to separately account for amounts so transferred, including separately accounting for the portion of such distribution that is includible in gross income and the portion of such distribution
which is not so includible. The election under this Section 11(g) shall not be applicable to any distribution which represents the minimum amount required to be distributed under Code section 401(a)(9). In addition, this election shall not apply to
a hardship distribution under Section 12(f). The election under this Section shall be available with respect to any distribution or withdrawal made to or by a spouse of a Participant following the death of the Participant or pursuant to a qualified
domestic relations order (as defined in Code section 414(p)) if the election described herein would have been available to the Participant had the Participant been the recipient of the distribution or withdrawal. The Committee may, in its sole
discretion, adopt such administrative rules as may be permitted by Code section 401(a)(31) or regulations promulgated thereunder which limit or restrict the applicability of this Section 11(g) to all or a portion of certain distributions or
withdrawals. 

 
 59 








  
 SECTION 12.    WITHDRAWALS AND LOANS 
  
 The following rules shall apply with respect to withdrawals and loans made following the Plan Merger. Prior to the Plan Merger, the rules
of the Plan or the DPSP, as applicable, then in effect shall apply. The withdrawal and loan provisions of the Plan and the DPSP in effect prior to the Plan Merger are set forth in Supplement D. 
  

(a)    General Rule.    A Participant who is an Employee may elect to withdraw a specified amount from his or her
Accounts, subject to the following provisions. 
  
 (b)    Limitations on
Withdrawals.    Withdrawals shall be subject to the following limitations: 
  
 (i)    To make a withdrawal, a Participant must complete such process as may be established by the Committee. 
  
 (ii)    A Participant may not make more than two withdrawals (other than hardship withdrawals described in Section 12(f)) per calendar year, provided that a Participant may make
more than two withdrawals in a calendar year if, after electing two partial withdrawals in a calendar year, the Participant elects a lump sum distribution of the total value of his or her interest in the Trust Fund. The minimum amount
a Participant may elect to withdraw shall be $500 or, if less, the total value of the applicable Accounts. 
  
 (iii)    A Participant may withdraw amounts attributable to Pre-Tax Contributions, Catch-up Contributions, [Rollover Contributions] and/or Qualified Company Contributions only after attaining age 591⁄2.

  
 (iv)    A Participant may withdraw amounts attributable to After-Tax
Contributions at any time. 

 
 60 








  
 (v)    An IIG Participant may withdraw any or
all amounts allocated to his or her Accounts, to the extent vested, after attaining age 591⁄2. 
  
 (vi)    A MS Participant may withdraw any or all amounts allocated to his or her Accounts after attaining age 591⁄2 . 
  
 (vii)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Participant may make a withdrawal from any or all of his or her Accounts, to the extent
vested, upon suffering a hardship, as provided in Section 12(f). 
  
 (c)    Source and Amount
of Withdrawal.    In the case of a withdrawal, including a hardship withdrawal, the Committee shall withdraw assets from the Participant’s Accounts in the order determined by the Committee on a nondiscriminatory basis in
accordance with applicable law. The amount being withdrawn shall be taken pro rata from the Investment Funds in which such Accounts are invested (except that the Administrative Committee may, on a nondiscriminatory basis, permit Participants to
choose whether or not investments in the Morgan Stanley Stock Fund shall be included for this purpose).  
  
 (d)    Time of Payment of Withdrawals.    Withdrawals, and hardship withdrawals described in this Section 12, will be paid as soon as administratively practicable following the approval
of the Participant’s request for a withdrawal. 
  
 (e)    Form of Payment of
Withdrawals.    All withdrawals under this Section 12 shall be distributed in the form of a lump sum payment consisting of (i) cash equal to the value of the portion of the Participant’s Accounts being withdrawn or (ii)
at the election of the Participant and as permitted under this Section 12, whole shares of Morgan Stanley Stock and cash equal to the amount of any uninvested cash, plus the value of the portions of the Participant’s Accounts 

 
 61 








 that are invested in all Investment Funds other than the Morgan Stanley Stock Fund, in such proportions as the Participant may elect and in the
aggregate equal to the value of the portion of the Participant’s Accounts being withdrawn. Unless the Participant elects otherwise, payment will be made in accordance with clause (i) of the preceding sentence. If a distribution is made in the
form of shares of stock, any unpaid dividends which may be due with respect to such stock and any portion to be distributed representing fractional shares of such stock shall be paid in cash. 
  

(f)    Hardship. 
  
 (i)    In case of a hardship withdrawal, the Committee shall withdraw assets from the Participant’s Accounts in the order determined by the Committee on a uniform and
nondiscriminatory basis in accordance with applicable law. 
  
 (ii)    The
Committee may from time to time prescribe written rules of uniform application by which Participants who make a hardship withdrawal may not make elective or employee contributions to this or any other plan of a Participating Company for a period to
be determined by the Committee. 
  
 (iii)    A distribution will be considered to
be necessary to satisfy an immediate and heavy financial need of a Participant only if the Participant has obtained all distributions (including any available dividend distributions under the ESOP), other than hardship distributions, and all
nontaxable loans available under all plans maintained by any member of the Affiliated Group, and the distribution is not in excess of the amount of the immediate and heavy financial need. 

 
 62 








  
 (iv)    In reviewing a request for a hardship
distribution, the Committee shall apply the following rules on a nondiscriminatory basis to all Participants eligible for such hardship distributions. 
  
 (1)    All requests for such payments must be made in such manner as the Committee shall designate. 
  
 (2)    All such requests must be accompanied by such documentation as the Committee may require.

  
 (3)    The Committee will review all requests and will make a determination
as to whether the request should be approved or rejected. 
  
 (4)    The
Committee will consider the facts relevant to each requested hardship distribution, subject to appropriate regulations. 
  
 (5)    The Committee may delegate its responsibilities under this Section 12(f) to one or more persons. 
  
 (v)    For purposes of this Section 12(f), the term “hardship” shall mean immediate and heavy financial needs of the
Participant where such Participant lacks other reasonably available financial resources, arising out of any one or more of the following: 
  
 (1)    expenses for medical care described in Code section 213(d) previously incurred by the Participant, the Participant’s spouse, or any dependents of the Participant (as
defined in Code section 152) or necessary for these persons to obtain medical care described in Code section 213(d); 
  
 (2)    costs directly related to the purchase of a principal residence for the Participant (excluding mortgage payments); 

 
 63 








  
 (3)    payment of tuition and related
educational fees for the next 12 months of post-secondary education for the Participant, Participant’s spouse, children or dependents (as defined in Code section 152); 
  
 (4)    payments necessary to prevent the eviction of the Participant from the Participant’s principal residence or foreclosure on
the mortgage on that residence; 
  
 (5)    any amounts necessary to pay any
federal, state or local income taxes or penalties reasonably anticipated to result from a hardship withdrawal under this Section 12(f); or 
  
 (6)    such other instances of deemed immediate and heavy financial needs together with such additional methods for the hardship withdrawal to be deemed necessary to satisfy such
needs as the Commissioner of Internal Revenue shall provide through the publication of revenue rulings, notices and other documents of general applicability. 
  
 (g)    Loans. 
  
 (i)    Availability of Loans.    A Participant may elect, in such form and manner as the Committee may prescribe, to borrow from the Trust an amount in cash not to exceed the amount
permitted under Section 12(g)(ii). No more than one loan to a Participant may be outstanding at any time, except that, (1) in the case of a MS Participant who had two loans outstanding under the DPSP as of February 28, 2001, such loans may continue
to be outstanding following that date and (2) in the case of a Participant who had an account under both the DPSP and the START Plan prior to the Plan Merger and had a loan outstanding against each such account, such loans may continue to be
outstanding at the same time following the Plan Merger. A Participant who takes a loan under this Section 12(g), or under the DPSP or START Plan prior to the Plan Merger, shall be ineligible to take another loan under this Section 

 
 64 








 12(g) until the expiration of 12 full calendar months following the date of such loan. The Committee may, in its
discretion, impose additional conditions and restrictions on a Participant’s eligibility for a loan under this Section 12(g), subject to applicable law. 
  
 (ii)    Limitations on Loans.    Each loan under this Section 12(g) shall be limited to an amount not to
exceed (when added to the outstanding balance of all other loans made to the Participant by all tax qualified plans maintained by the Affiliated Group) the lesser of: 
  
 (1)    $50,000 reduced by the excess, if any, of the highest outstanding balance of loans from all such plans to the Participant during
the one-year period ending on the day before the date on which the loan is made, over the outstanding balance of loans from all such plans to the Participant on the date on which the loan is made, and 
  
 (2)    one-half of the vested balance of the Participant’s Accounts as of the most recent
Valuation Date. 
  
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, no loan shall be granted under this Section 12(g) in an amount
less than $500. 
  
 (iii)    Sources of Loan Proceeds and Designation of
Payments.    Loans made pursuant to this Section 12(g) and payments thereof, shall be charged pro rata against each Investment Fund in which the Participant is invested (except that the Administrative Committee may, on a
nondiscriminatory basis, permit Participants to choose whether or not investments in the Morgan Stanley Stock Fund shall be included for this purpose) and shall be appropriately charged against the Participant’s Accounts in such order as the
Administrative Committee shall determine on a nondiscriminatory basis. Prior to the disbursement of the proceeds of a loan, an amount equal to the loan amount shall be transferred from the Participant’s Accounts to a special 

 
 65 








 loan fund (consisting solely of the Participant’s loans) established for the purpose of disbursing the loan to the
Participant. 
  
 (iv)    Loans Evidenced by Note and Secured by Interest in
Account.    A loan granted pursuant to this Section 12(g) shall be evidenced by such documents as the Committee shall designate including a note which shall bear a reasonable rate of interest as determined by the Committee
from time to time in a nondiscriminatory manner and which otherwise shall conform to the repayment terms set forth in this Section 12(g). A loan made to a Participant pursuant to this Section 12(g) shall be secured by an interest in the
Participant’s Accounts and/or by such other interests as the Committee may determine to constitute adequate security. The occurrence of an event of default under the loan note shall entitle the Trustee of the Plan to reduce the balance of the
Participant’s Accounts up to the amount of the Plan’s security interest therein. The loan note shall be an asset solely of the borrowing Participant’s Accounts and interest on the loan shall be credited to the Participant’s
Accounts. 
  
 (v)    Loan Repayment Terms.    A loan
made pursuant to this Section 12(g) shall be repaid over a period not to exceed five years from the date of the loan, unless the Participant certifies in writing to the Committee that the loan proceeds are to be used solely to acquire a dwelling
unit which is to be used, within a reasonable period of time, as the Participant’s principal residence, in which case, the loan shall be repaid over a period not to exceed 15 years from the date of such loan. Such repayment shall be made in
level installments of principal and interest which the Participant shall authorize to be repaid by payroll deductions or by such other method as is determined by the Committee on a uniform and nondiscriminatory basis. Loan repayments (principal and
interest) will be proportionately credited among the Participant’s Accounts from which the loan proceeds were transferred pursuant to Section 

 
 66 








 12(g)(iii) above and reinvested in Investment Funds based on the Participant’s then-current directions with respect
to the investment of contributions, or in such other manner as is determined by the Administrative Committee in its discretion on a uniform and nondiscriminatory basis. The entire outstanding amount of the loan may be prepaid without penalty at any
time. Partial prepayment shall not be permitted. The note shall provide that in all events the outstanding principal and interest due thereon shall be repaid not later than the date of the Participant’s termination of employment or such other
date as the Committee shall specify. In the event of default, foreclosure on the note and attachment of security will not occur until a distributable event occurs under the Plan. 
  
 (vi)    Loans Available on Nondiscriminatory Basis.    All loans made pursuant to this Section 12(g) shall be
made available to all Participants on a reasonably equivalent, nondiscriminatory basis; and any Participant to whom a loan is made agrees to such changes in the terms of the loan as may be required by changes in the applicable law or regulations.

  
 (vii)    Other Provisions Relating to Loans.    To
the extent required by ERISA section 408 or Code section 4975, notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this Section 12(g), loans may be made to a Participant who is, at the time of the loan, both a former employee and a “party in
interest” as defined in ERISA section 3(14) with respect to the Plan. In the case of any such loan, the preceding provisions of this Section 12(g) dealing with payment by payroll deduction and acceleration on termination of employment shall not
apply. Loans shall not be made available to highly compensated employees (as defined in Code section 414(q)) in an amount greater than the amount made available to other employees. 

 
 67 








 (viii)    Suspension of Loan Repayments during Military
Service.    Loan repayments will be suspended under this Plan as permitted under Code section 414(u)(4). 
  
 (ix)    Loan Procedures.    The Committee shall promulgate loan procedures consistent with this Section 12, which, as amended from time to time, are
hereby incorporated into and which hereby form a part of this Plan. 

 
 68 








  
 SECTION 13.    INCORPORATION OF CERTAIN CODE REQUIREMENTS BY REFERENCE

  
 (a)    Incorporation of Code Section 401(a)(9). 
  
 (i)    Anything in the Plan to the contrary notwithstanding, distributions under this Plan shall meet
the requirements of Code section 401(a)(9), which requirements are incorporated herein by reference. 
  
 (ii)    In the case of MS Participants, the following provisions applied under the DPSP prior to the Plan Merger and shall continue to apply under this Plan following the Plan Merger: 
  
 (1)    With respect to a MS Participant who attained age 701⁄2 prior to January 1, 1999, payment of
the amounts credited to the MS Participant’s Accounts commenced no later than the April 1st next
following the year in which the MS Participant attained (or would have attained, in the case of a deceased MS Participant) age 701⁄2, whether or not such MS Participant had terminated Service; provided that a MS Participant who attained age
701⁄2 after December 31, 1995 and prior to January 1, 1999 and who was an Employee on the April 1st
next following the year in which such MS Participant attained age 701⁄2, could make an irrevocable one-time election to defer receipt of payment of his or her Accounts until his or her termination from Service, but in no event later than the
April 1st next following the year in which such termination from Service occurs. 
  
 (2)    With respect to a MS Participant who attains age 701⁄2 on or after January 1, 1999, payment
of the amounts credited to the MS Participant’s Accounts shall commence on the April 1st next
following the later of the year in which the MS Participant (A) attains age 701⁄2, or (B) terminates from Service. 

 
 69 








  
 (3)    With respect to a MS Participant who
attains age 701⁄2 on or after January 1, 2000 and who has separated from service, the entire value of the MS Participant’s interest in the Trust Fund shall be distributed to the MS Participant not later than the April 1st next following the Year in which the MS Participant attains (or would have attained, in the case of a deceased MS
Participant) age 701⁄2, except that a MS Participant who is receiving minimum required distributions in a series of payments as set forth in Code section 401(a)(9)(A)(ii) as of March 1, 2001 shall be entitled to continue receiving such payments.

  
 (iii)    In the case of IIG Participants, the following provisions apply:

  
 (1)    In the case of an IIG Participant who attained age 70-1/2 after
December 31, 1995 and before January 1, 2002 and who was an Employee as of April 1 of the year following the year in which the IIG Participant attained age 70-1/2, the IIG Participant could elect, on or after such April 1, to begin receiving
distributions as if such IIG Participant’s required beginning date under Code section 401(a)(9) were such April 1 or such later date. 
  
 An IIG Participant who attains age 70-1/2 after December 31, 2001 shall not have the right to elect distributions pursuant to the preceding paragraph. Distribution of such an IIG Participant’s
Plan Benefit shall be made as of the April 1 next following the later of the year in which the IIG Participant (i) attains age 70-1/2, or (ii) terminates from service or in accordance with the other provisions of the Plan. 
  
 (iv)    Effective January 1, 2002, the following rules shall govern the payment of the annual
distribution under this Section to a Participant who has not terminated from service. The payment for a year subsequent to the year in which payments commence shall be made only if the Participant elects at the time and in such manner prescribed by
the Administrative Committee to receive payment in such year. The failure to make such an election 

 
 70 








 shall be deemed to be an election by the Participant to defer receipt of the payment, and the amount of such deferred
payment shall thereafter be held in the Accounts maintained for the Participant under the Plan and adjusted as provided in Section 9. 
  
 (b)    Incorporation of Code Section 415 Limitations.    The limitations on allocations and contributions of Code section 415 are incorporated herein by reference. For purposes
of applying those limitations the following rules shall apply: 
  
 (i)    Definitions.    For purposes of this Section 13, compensation shall be determined on the basis of compensation actually paid and includible in gross income during the year, plus,
for limitation years beginning after December 31, 1997, any elective deferrals or contributions made with respect to a Participant as described in Code section 415(c)(3)(D); the limitation year shall be the Plan Year; and excess amount shall mean
the difference between a Participant’s annual additions and the maximum permissible amount of such annual additions. Effective January 1, 2002, the compensation limit under Code section 415(c)(1)(B) shall not apply to any contribution for
medical benefits after separation from service (within the meaning of Code section 401(h) or 419A(f)(2)) which is otherwise treated as an annual addition. 
  
 (ii)    Disposition of Excess Amounts. 
  
 (1)    If the annual additions otherwise made to the Accounts of a Participant would cause the limitations of Code section 415 that are
applicable to that Participant to be exceeded for the limitation year, the amount by which such limitations are exceeded will be eliminated (A) by returning to the Participant the Participant’s Pre-Tax Contributions and/or After-Tax
Contributions for such limitation year, in whole or in part as necessary, and then (B) to the extent necessary, in the case of a MS Participant, by reducing any Firm Contributions allocated to the Participant in accordance with Section 6. Such
excess amounts of Firm 

 
 71 








 Contributions shall be applied to reduce the Firm Contribution for such Participant for the next limitation year (and
succeeding limitation years, if necessary). 
  
 (2)    Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if a Participant is not covered by the Plan as of the end of the limitation year as of which such excess amount arose, the excess amounts shall be held in an unallocated suspense account and allocated and re-allocated in the next
limitation year to other eligible Participants in the Plan. If such allocation or re-allocation will cause the limitations of Code section 415 to be exceeded with respect to each eligible Participant for such following limitation year, the excess
amount shall be held unallocated in the suspense account until the next limitation year. If the suspense account is in existence at any time during a particular limitation year, other than the limitation year as of which the excess amounts arose,
all amounts in the suspense account must be allocated and re-allocated to other eligible Participants in the Plan (subject to the limitations of Code section 415) before any Firm Contributions which would constitute annual additions may be made to
the Plan for that limitation year. 
  
 (iii)    Coordination With Another
Defined Contribution Plan.    If, in addition to this Plan, a Participant is covered under another qualified defined contribution plan or a welfare benefit fund, as defined in Code section 419(e), maintained by the employer
during any limitation year and a Participant’s annual additions under this Plan and such other plans would result in an excess amount for a limitation year, the excess amount will be deemed to consist of the annual additions last allocated,
except that annual additions attributable to a welfare benefit fund will be deemed to have been allocated first regardless of the actual allocation date. If an excess amount was allocated to a Participant on an allocation date of this Plan which
coincides 

 
 72 








 with an allocation date of another plan, the excess amount attributed to this Plan will be the product of

  
 (1)    the total excess amount allocated as of such date, times 

 
 (2)    the ratio of (A) the annual additions allocated to the Participant for the
limitation year as of such date under this Plan to (B) the total annual additions allocated to the Participant for the limitation year as of such date under this and all the other qualified defined contribution plans. Any excess amount attributed to
this Plan will be disposed of in the manner described in Section 13(b)(ii). 
  
 (iv)    Regulations under Code section 415.    The limitations imposed by this Section 13(b) will be administered in accordance with the regulations promulgated under Code section 415
and any other rulings and regulations issued by the Secretary of the Treasury under Code section 415. 
  
 (c)    Military Service.    Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to the contrary, contributions, benefits and service credit with respect to qualified military service will be
provided in accordance with Code section 414(u). 

 
 73 








  
 SECTION 14.    FIDUCIARY RESPONSIBILITIES AND PLAN ADMINISTRATION

  
 (a)    General. 
  
 (i)    The general administration of the Plan shall be placed in the Committee. The members of the Committee shall be appointed from

Affiliated Group. 
  
 (ii)    The Committee shall be a “named
fiduciary” with respect to the Plan, as such term is defined in ERISA section 402(a). 
  
 (iii)    The Committee shall be the Plan’s “administrator,” as such term is defined in ERISA section 3(16). 
  
 (iv)    Each person who has Fiduciary Responsibilities with respect to the Plan shall be bonded if and as required by ERISA.

  
 (b)    Quorum.    A majority of the members of the Committee at

 (c)    Rules and Regulations.    Subject to the limitations set forth in the
Plan, the Committee may from time to time establish such uniform and nondiscriminatory rules and regulations as it may deem appropriate or necessary for the transaction of business and for the administration of the Plan. 

 
 74 








  
 (d)    Procedure and Performance of Fiduciary Duties.

  
 (i)    The members of the Committee shall elect one of their number as
Chairman and shall elect a Secretary who may, but need not, be a member of the Committee; may appoint from their number such subcommittees with such powers as the Committee shall determine; may authorize one or more of their number or any agent to
execute or deliver any instructions on behalf of the Committee; and may employ such counsel and agents, and contract for such clerical services, as the Committee may require in carrying out the provisions of the Plan. 
  
 (ii)    The Fiduciary Responsibilities of the Committee may be allocated among its members or
delegated to persons who are not members of the Committee as the Committee in its sole discretion shall decide. Upon an allocation or delegation of Fiduciary Responsibilities the person or persons to whom such Fiduciary Responsibilities are
allocated or delegated shall be solely responsible for the performance of such Fiduciary Responsibilities, and the members of the Committee to whom such Fiduciary Responsibilities have not been allocated shall not in any respect be responsible for
the performance of such Fiduciary Responsibilities, except as provided by law. The Committee shall perform its allocation and delegation functions in the same manner as it performs all of its other Fiduciary Responsibilities pursuant to Section
14(d)(iii) below. 
  
 (iii)    The Committee shall perform only its Fiduciary
Responsibilities as provided in the Plan except those Fiduciary Responsibilities which are allocated or delegated pursuant to Section 14(d)(ii) above, if any, and those Fiduciary Responsibilities which are to be performed by the Trustee pursuant to
the Trust Agreement. 

 
 75 








  
 (e)    Power to
Interpret.    Subject to Section 17, the Committee shall have the exclusive right to determine any question arising under or in connection with the administration of the Plan, including, but not limited to, the authority to
interpret the Plan as provided in Section 16(a), to direct disbursements by the Trustee and to exercise the other rights and powers specified herein. 
  
 (f)    Conversion of Amounts of Base Salary.    The Committee shall have full and final authority with respect to Base Salary paid in a foreign currency
to convert such Base Salary into currency of the United States, in such manner as the Committee may from time to time determine, for the purposes of Section 6. 
  
 (g)    Indemnification.    To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify and save harmless each member of the Committee, each member
of the Hearing Panel and each other person to whom Fiduciary Responsibilities are delegated under the terms of the Plan against any cost or expense (including attorneys’ fees) or liability (including any sum paid in settlement of a claim with
the approval of the Company) arising out of any act or omission to act as a member of the Committee or the Hearing Panel or as a delegate, except (i) in the case of willful misconduct or lack of good faith or (ii) with respect to any person who is
not an employee, officer, advisory director or director of the Company or a member of the Affiliated Group. This Section 14(g) shall not supersede any separate agreement or contract between the Company or a member of the Affiliated Group or the Plan
and any person to whom Fiduciary Responsibilities are delegated. 
  
 (h)    Action Without
Meeting.    Any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the Committee or the Hearing Panel or by any delegate of either of them may be taken without a meeting if a written consent thereto is signed by all
members of the Committee or 

 
 76 








 Hearing Panel or by such delegate, as the case may be, and such written Consent is filed with the records of the proceedings of the Committee or
Hearing Panel or of such delegate, as the case may be. 
  
 (i)    Meeting by Telephone
Conference.    Members of the Committee, the Hearing Panel or any delegate of either of them may participate in a meeting of the Committee, Hearing Panel or such delegate, as the case may be, by means of conference telephone
or similar communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other, and participation in a meeting pursuant to this Section shall constitute presence in person at such meeting. 

 
 77 








  
 SECTION 15.    INVESTMENT POLICY 
  
 From time to time, the Investment Committee shall establish an investment policy for the Plan which is consistent with the objectives of
the Plan, with its short-term and long-term financial needs and with the requirements of ERISA. The investment policy, as established and amended from time to time, shall be communicated in writing to the Trustee as appropriate. 

 
 78 








  
 SECTION 16.    CLAIMS PROCEDURE 
  
 (a)    Claims.    Sections 16 and 17 shall provide the exclusive rules relating to claims
for benefits under the Plan. All claims for benefits shall be submitted to the Committee at such address as the Committee shall designate from time to time. Claims for benefits must be in writing on the form prescribed by the Committee and must be
signed by the person or persons indicated on such form. 
  
 The Committee shall have the authority to act with
respect to any claim for benefits under the Plan. The Committee in its capacity as named fiduciary shall have the exclusive discretionary right to interpret the Plan, including those provisions governing eligibility and benefits, and to determine
any questions arising under or in connection with the administration of the Plan, including without limitation, the authority to make factual determinations. The Committee shall have full authority to determine the entitlement, rights or eligibility
of employees, participants and/or any other persons, and the amount of benefits, if any due under the Plan. The Committee shall also have the right and authority to remedy ambiguities, inconsistencies or omissions, arising under or in connection
with the Plan. The construction and interpretations of the Plan and the determinations of the Committee hereunder shall be final and binding on all persons, other than the Hearing Panel established in accordance with Section 17 hereof. 

 
 (b)    Denial of Claims.    In the event any claim for benefits is denied, in
whole or in part, the Committee shall notify the claimant of such denial in writing and shall advise the claimant of his right to a review thereof. Such written notice shall set forth, in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant, the
specific reason or reasons for the denial, reference to the specific Plan provisions upon which the denial is based, a description of any 

 
 79 








 additional information or material that is necessary for the claimant to perfect his claim for benefits, an explanation of why such information
or material is necessary, and an explanation of the Plan’s review procedures and the time limits applicable to such procedures, including a statement of the claimant’s right to bring a civil action under ERISA if the claim is denied on
review. Such written notice shall be furnished to the claimant within 90 days after the Committee receives the claim, unless special circumstances require an extension of time for processing the claim. In no event shall such an extension exceed a
period of 90 days from the end of the initial 90-day period; if such an extension is required, written notice thereof shall be furnished to the claimant before the end of the initial 90-day period. Such notice shall indicate the special
circumstances requiring an extension of time and the date by which the Committee expects to render a decision. 
  
 (c)    Small Claims.    Any claim to be determined by the Committee may be determined by the Director of Human Resources, or his delegate, if the Director of Human Resources (or such
delegate) determines that the amount involved is $5,000 or less (effective January 1, 2003, $10,000 or less). In any case where the Director of Human Resources (or delegate) determines a claim, the provisions of Sections 16 and 17 shall apply to the
Director of Human Resources (or delegate) in the same manner as would be applicable to the Committee. 

 
 80 








  
 SECTION 17.    HEARING PANEL 
  
 (a)    Establishment of Hearing Panel.    The Board of Directors shall appoint a
“Hearing Panel,” which shall consist of three or more individuals who may (but need not) be employees of the Company. The Hearing Panel shall be the named fiduciary that shall have the authority to act with respect to any appeal from the
denial of a claim for benefits under the Plan. The Hearing Panel may adopt such rules and procedures, consistent with ERISA and the Plan, as it deems necessary or appropriate in carrying out its responsibilities under Section 16 and this Section 17.
The Hearing Panel may delegate some or all of its rights, privileges and duties to such person(s) as it may choose; to the extent of such a delegation all references in this Section to the Hearing Panel shall be deemed to be references to such
person(s). 
  
 (b)    Appeals from Claim Denials.    Any person whose
claim for benefits is denied, in whole or in part, or such person’s duly authorized representative, may appeal from such denial by submitting a request for review of the claim to the Hearing Panel within six months after receiving the written
notice of denial from the Committee. The request for review may include the reason the claimant believes the claim was improperly denied and any additional comments, documents, records and other information that may be appropriate (which will be
considered by the Hearing Panel without regard to whether it was considered by the Committee in its initial review of the claim). The Hearing Panel shall provide the claimant, upon request and without charge, reasonable access to, and copies of, all
documents, records and other information relevant to the claim under applicable legal standards. A request for review shall be in writing and shall be submitted to the Hearing Panel at such address as the Committee shall designate from time to time.
The request for review shall set forth all of the grounds on which it is based, all facts in support thereof and any other matters that the claimant deems pertinent. The Hearing Panel may 

 
 81 








 require the claimant (or his representative) to submit such additional facts, documents or other material as it deems necessary or appropriate
in making its review. 
  
 (c)    Decision on Review.    The Hearing
Panel shall act upon a request for review within 60 days after receipt thereof, unless special circumstances require an extension of time for processing, in which event a decision shall be rendered not more than 120 days after the receipt of the
request for review. If such an extension is required, written notice thereof shall be furnished to the claimant (or his representative) before the end of the initial 60-day period. If the Hearing Panel extends the review period for the appeal due to
the claimant’s failure to submit information necessary to decide the appeal, the period for deciding the appeal will be tolled from the date on which the extension notice is sent until the date on which the claimant responds to the request for
additional information. The Hearing Panel shall give written notice of its decision to the claimant (or his representative) and to the Committee. In the event that the Hearing Panel confirms the denial of the claim for benefits in whole or in part,
such notice shall set forth, in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant, the specific reason or reasons for the denial and reference to the specific Plan provisions upon which such denial is based, the claimant’s right to receive,
upon request and without charge, reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents, records, and other information relevant to the claim under applicable legal standards, and the claimant’s right to bring a civil action under ERISA.

  
 (d)    Exhaustion of Administrative Remedies.    No legal or
equitable action for benefits under the Plan shall be brought unless and until the claimant (i) has submitted a written claim for benefits in accordance with Section 16(a), (ii) has been notified that the claim has been denied, (iii) has filed a
written request for a review of the claim in accordance with Section 17(b) and (iv) has been notified in writing that the Hearing Panel has affirmed the denial of the claim. 

 
 82 








 In addition, no legal or equitable action for benefits under the Plan may be brought after the earliest of (i) six months after the Hearing
Panel has affirmed the denial of the claim, (ii) three years after the date the claimant’s benefits under the Plan commenced, or (iii) the end of the otherwise applicable statute of limitations period. 
  
 (e)    Authority of Hearing Panel.    The Hearing Panel, in its capacity as “named
fiduciary,” as defined under ERISA section 402(a)(1), shall have the discretionary authority to interpret and construe the terms of the Plan and to determine eligibility for and entitlement to Plan benefits in accordance with the terms of the
Plan. Any reasonable construction or interpretation of the Plan’s terms or determination made by the Hearing Panel as to eligibility or entitlements, adopted in good faith, shall be final and binding upon the Company, all Participating
Companies, Employees, Participants, Beneficiaries, spouses, surviving spouses, their affiliates and their heirs, successors and assigns. 

 
 83 








  
 SECTION 18.    EXPENSES OF PLAN AND TRUST 
  
 The reasonable expenses of administering the Plan and the Trust Fund shall be charged to and paid out of the Trust Fund, unless they are
paid by the Company. The expenses of administering the Plan shall include, without limitation, the compensation of the Trustee, the expenses (such as brokerage fees and stock transfer taxes) incurred by the Trustee in the performance of its duties
hereunder, real or personal property taxes, income taxes (if any) and other taxes of any kind whatsoever that may be levied or assessed under existing or future laws upon or in respect of the Trust, the Trust Fund or any property in the Trust Fund,
and all other proper charges and disbursements of the Trustee. Legal fees and related legal expenses arising out of legal services rendered to the Trustee (whether or not rendered in connection with judicial or administrative proceedings, and
whether or not incurred prior to the termination of the Trust Agreement) shall be considered to be reasonable expenses of administering the Plan and Trust Fund only to the extent (a) they are reasonable in amount, and (b) the payment of such fees
and expenses out of the Trust Fund is permitted by applicable law. 

 
 84 








  
 SECTION 19.    AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION 
  
 (a)    Amendment of Plan.    The Company reserves the right to make from time to time any
amendment or amendments to all or any part of the Plan (for the Company and for the other Participating Companies), including amendments which are retroactive in effect. Such amendment or amendments may be effected by action of the Company’s
Board of Directors or its delegate. The Company’s Board of Directors has authorized the Executive Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors to take such actions. Notwithstanding the foregoing: 
  
 (i)    no amendment shall have the effect of vesting in the Participating Companies any interest in
any property of the Trust; and 
  
 (ii)    no amendment shall have any
retroactive effect so as to deprive any Participant or Beneficiary of any amount credited to the Participant’s or Beneficiary’s Accounts, except as provided in Section 19(c) or as otherwise permitted by law. 
  
 (b)    Termination of Plan.    The Plan is intended to be permanent, but the Company
reserves the right to terminate the Plan, in whole or in part, at any time. Such termination may be effected by action of the Company’s Board of Directors or its delegate. The Company’s Board of Directors has authorized the Executive
Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors to take such action. No such action shall have the effect of: 
  
 (i)    vesting in the Participating Companies any interest in any property of the Trust; or 
  
 (ii)    retroactively depriving any Participant or Beneficiary of any amount credited to the Participant’s or Beneficiary’s Accounts, except as provided in Section 19(c)
or as otherwise permitted by law. 

 
 85 








  
 (c)    Amendment Required for
Qualification.    All provisions of this Plan, and all benefits and rights granted hereunder, are subject to any amendments, modifications or alterations which are necessary from time to time to qualify the Plan under Code
section 401(a) or 501(a) to continue the Plan as so qualified, or to comply with any other provision of law. Accordingly, notwithstanding Section 19(a) or any other provision of this Plan, the Company or its delegate may amend, modify or alter the
Plan, with or without retroactive effect, in any respect or manner necessary to qualify the Plan under Code section 401(a). 
  
 (d)    No Reversion of Funds.    No part of the Trust Fund shall revert to any Participating Company nor be used for or diverted to purposes other than the exclusive purpose of providing
benefits to Participants and Beneficiaries who have an interest in the Plan and defraying the reasonable expenses of administering the Plan; provided, that funds may be returned to Participating Companies under the following circumstances:

  
 (i)    Any contribution made as a result of a mistake of fact may be refunded
within one year after the date of such contribution; 
  
 (ii)    All employer
contributions are expressly conditioned on their deductibility under Code section 404, and any employer contribution shall be returned to the extent that the contribution is disallowed as a deduction, within one year after such disallowance;

  
 (iii)    Amounts held unallocated pursuant to Sections 13(b)(ii) and (iii)
upon termination of the Plan shall be returned to the appropriate Participating Company. 
  
 (e)    Full Vesting Upon Termination.    Upon termination, partial termination or the complete discontinuance of contributions to the Plan (the “terminating events”) the
account balance of each affected Participant shall be 100% vested and nonforfeitable. In the event a 

 
 86 








 terminating event occurs, except as provided in Section 19(d), no part of the Trust Fund shall revert to any Participating Company or be used
for or diverted to purposes other than providing benefits to Participants and Beneficiaries and defraying the reasonable expenses of administering the Plan and the Trust Fund. Upon the occurrence of a terminating event the Trust shall continue until
the Trust Fund has been distributed as provided in Section 11 subject to ERISA section 403(d)(1) provided that in the event of a partial termination the Trust shall continue with respect to unaffected Participants and Beneficiaries notwithstanding
any distributions made as a result of the partial termination to affected Participants and Beneficiaries. 

 
 87 








  
 SECTION 20.    MISCELLANEOUS 
  
 (a)    Inalienability of Rights.    The interest and property rights of any person in the
Plan, in the Trust Fund or in any distribution to be made under the Plan shall not be subject to option nor be assignable, either by voluntary or involuntary assignment or by operation of law, including (without limitation) bankruptcy, garnishment,
attachment or other creditor’s process, and any act in violation hereof shall be void. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following shall not constitute a violation of this Section 20(a): (i) the creation, assignment or recognition of a right
to all or any portion of a Participant’s Plan Benefit made pursuant to a state domestic relations order, provided that such order is determined to be a “qualified domestic relations order” (as defined in Code section 414(p))
(“QDRO”) under procedures adopted by the Committee or (ii) effective August 5, 1997, the required offset of a Participant’s benefits pursuant to a judgment or settlement described in Code section 401(a)(13)(C). The Plan may pay
benefits pursuant to a QDRO that provides for the payment of benefits to an “alternate payee” (as such term is defined in Code section 414(p)) prior to the date a Participant has attained “earliest retirement age” (as such term
is defined in Code section 414(p)). Unless otherwise specified in the QDRO, payment shall be made pro rata from each of the Participant’s Accounts and pro rata from the Investment Funds in which any Account is invested. 
  
 (b)    Plan Mergers.    The Plan shall not merge or consolidate with, nor transfer assets
or liabilities to, any other plan unless each Participant would receive a Plan Benefit immediately after the merger, consolidation or transfer (if the Plan then terminated) which is equal to or greater than the Plan Benefit such Participant would
have been entitled to receive immediately before the merger, consolidation or transfer (if the Plan had then terminated). 

 
 88 








  
 (c)    Payments to and from the
Plan.    All Employee and Company Contributions shall be paid to the Trustee for investment and reinvestment as part of the Trust Fund pursuant to the Trust Agreement. All benefits and withdrawals payable under the Plan shall
be paid out of the Trust Fund by the Trustee pursuant to the directions of the Committee and the terms of the Trust Agreement. 
  
 (d)    No Right in Trust Fund or to Employment.    No person shall have any rights in or to the Trust Fund, or any part thereof, or under the Plan, except as, and only to the extent,
expressly provided for in the Plan. The establishment of the Plan, the granting of benefits and any action of any member of the Affiliated Group or any other person shall not be held or construed to confer upon any person any right to be continued
as an Employee nor to confer any right or interest in the Trust Fund other than as provided herein. No provision of the Plan shall restrict the right of any member of the Affiliated Group to discharge any Employee at any time, with or without cause.

  
 (e)    Competency to Handle Benefits.    If, in the opinion of the
Committee, any person becomes unable to handle properly any property distributable to such person under the Plan, or if a person to whom a benefit is payable hereunder is an infant, the Committee may make any reasonable arrangement for distribution
on such person’s behalf as it deems appropriate. 
  
 (f)    Governing
Law.    This Plan shall be construed in accordance with ERISA and, to the extent permissible under ERISA, the laws of the State of New York. 

 
 89

 MORGAN STANLEY DPSP/START PLAN 
 SUPPLEMENT A 
  
 TOP-HEAVY PROVISIONS 
  
 Section 1.    Top-Heavy Provisions. 
  
 (1)    Determination of Top-Heavy Status.    Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary,
the following provisions shall become effective for any Plan Year after the Plan Year ending December 31, 1983 in which the Plan is a Top-Heavy Plan. 
  
 (2)    Minimum Allocations.    Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, for any Plan
Year during which the Plan is a Top-Heavy Plan, the Company Contributions and allocable Forfeitures (and for any Plan Year commencing on or after January 1, 1985, the Pre-Tax Contributions) allocated on behalf of any Participant who is employed on
the last day of the Plan Year and who is not a Key Employee shall not be less than a percentage of such Participant’s Compensation equal to the lesser of (i) three percent, or (ii) the largest percentage of Compensation (as limited by Section
1(e) of this Supplement A) that is allocated to any Key Employee for that Plan Year of Company contributions and allocable Forfeitures (and, for Plan Years beginning on or after January 1, 1985, Pre-Tax Contributions). This minimum allocation shall
be determined without regard to any contributions made or benefits available under the Social Security Act, and shall be made even though, under other Plan provisions, the Participant would not be entitled to receive an allocation or would have
received a lesser allocation for the Plan Year because of (i) the Participant’s failure to complete a Year of Service, (ii) the Participant’s failure to make mandatory Participant contributions to the Plan or (iii) the Participant’s
receipt of Earnings in an amount less than the minimum required by the Plan for a Participant to qualify for an allocation of Company contributions or Forfeitures. 
  
 (3)    Minimum Vesting.    Notwithstanding any provision of Section 10 of the Plan to the contrary, if a
Participant (other than a Participant who did not complete any Period of Service after the Plan became a Top-Heavy Plan) terminates employment with the Affiliated Group while the Plan is a Top-Heavy Plan, and after such Participant has completed
three or more Years of Service, such Participant shall be 100% vested in any amounts in the Participant’s Accounts attributable to Matching Contributions and/or ESOP Diversification Transfers. If a Participant terminates employment with the
Affiliated Group while the Plan is a Top-Heavy Plan and before the Participant has completed three Years of Service, such Participant’s vested percentage in any such amounts shall be the percentage determined in accordance with Section 10 of
the Plan. 
  
 (4)    Effect of Change in Top-Heavy Status on
Vesting.    If the Plan is a Top-Heavy Plan at any time and thereafter ceases to be a Top-Heavy Plan, each Participant who is credited with three or more Years of Service as of December 31 of the last Plan Year in which the
Plan is a Top-Heavy Plan shall thereafter continue to be 100% vested in any amounts in the Participant’s Accounts attributable to Matching Contributions and/or ESOP Diversification Transfers. Each Participant who is credited with fewer than
three Years of Service as of December 31 of the last 

 
 A-1 








 
Plan Year in which the Plan is a Top-Heavy Plan shall have his or her vested percentage determined under Section 10 of the Plan (unless and until the Plan again becomes a Top-Heavy Plan) provided
that, as long as such Participant had an Hour of Service after the Plans became a Top-Heavy Plan, no decrease in a Participant’s nonforfeitable percentage may occur in the event the Plan’s status as a Top-Heavy Plan alters during any Plan
Year. 
  
 (5)    Impact of Top-Heavy or Super Top-Heavy Status on Maximum
Benefits.    For any Plan Year in which the Plan is a Top-Heavy Plan or Super Top-Heavy Plan, the number “1.00” shall be substituted for the number “1.25” wherever it appears in Code sections 415(e)(2) and
(3); provided, however, that such substitution shall not have the effect of reducing any benefit accrued under a defined benefit plan maintained by any member of the Affiliated Group prior to the first day of the Plan Year in which this provision
becomes applicable. This Section 1(5) shall apply only for limitation years beginning before January 1, 2000. 
  
 Section 2.    Plan Distributions. 
  
 Notwithstanding any
other provision of the Plan to the contrary, the distribution of the Plan Benefit of a Participant who is a five percent owner of the Company (as defined in Code section 416(i)) shall be made no later than April 1 of the Plan Year following the Plan
Year in which he or she attains age 70-1/2, whether or not he or she is still an Employee.

 A-3 








  
 (A)    If the Company or Participating
Company maintains one or more defined contribution plans (including any simplified employee pension plans) and the Company or Participating Company has not maintained any defined benefit plan which, during the five-year period ending on the
Determination Date(s) has or has had Vested Benefits, the Top-Heavy Ratio for the Plan alone or for the Required Aggregation Groups or Permissive Aggregation Groups as appropriate is a fraction, the numerator of which is the sum of the account
balances of all Key Employees as of the Determination Date(s) (including any part of any account balance distributed in the five-year period ending on the Determination Date(s)), and the denominator of which is the sum of all account balances
(including any part of any account balance distributed in the five-year period ending on the Determination Date(s)), both computed in accordance with Code section 416 and the regulations thereunder. Both the numerator and the denominator of the
Top-Heavy Ratio are increased to reflect any contribution not actually made as of the Determination Date, but which is required to be taken into account on that date under Code section 416 and the regulations thereunder. 
  
 (B)    If the Company or Participating Company maintains one or more defined contribution plans
(including any simplified employee pension plans) and the Company or Participating Company maintains or has maintained one or more defined benefit plans which, during the five-year period ending on the Determination Date(s), has or has had any
Vested Benefits, the Top-Heavy Ratio for any Required Aggregation Groups or Permissive Aggregation Groups as appropriate is a fraction, the numerator of which is the sum of the account balances under the aggregated defined contribution plan or plans
for all Key Employees, determined in accordance with (i) above, and the Present Value of accrued benefits under the aggregated defined benefit plan or plans for all Key Employees as of the Determination Date(s), and the denominator of which is the
sum of the account balances under the aggregated defined contribution plan or plans for all Participants, determined in accordance with (i) above, and the Present Value of accrued benefits under the defined benefit plan or plans for all Participants
as of the Determination Date(s), all determined in accordance with Code section 416 and the regulations thereunder. The accrued benefits under a defined benefit plan in both the numerator and denominator of the Top-Heavy Ratio are increased for any
distribution of an accrued benefit made in the five-year period ending on the Determination Date. 
  
 (C)    For purposes of (i) and (ii) above, the value of account balances and the Present Value of accrued benefits will be determined as of the most recent valuation date that falls within or ends with the
12-month period ending on the Determination Date, except as provided in Code section 416 and the regulations thereunder for the first and second plan years of a defined benefit plan. The account balances and accrued benefits of a Participant (1) who
is not a Key Employee but who was a Key Employee in a prior year or (2) who has not been credited with at least one Hour of Service with any Company or Participating Company maintaining the Plan at any time during the five-year period ending on the
Determination Date will be disregarded. The calculation of the Top-Heavy Ratio, and the extent to which distributions, rollovers, and transfers are taken into account will be made in accordance with Code section 416 and the regulations thereunder.
Deductible Employee contributions will not be taken into account for purposes of computing the Top-Heavy Ratio. When aggregating plans the value of account
 

 
 A-4 








 
balances and accrued benefits will be calculated with reference to the Determination Dates that fall within the same calendar year. 
  
 The accrued benefit of a Participant other than a Key Employee shall be determined under (x) the method, if any, that uniformly applies for accrual purposes
under all defined benefit plans maintained by the Company or Participating Company, or (y) if there is no such method, as if such benefit accrued not more rapidly than the slowest accrual rate permitted under the fractional rule of Code section
411(b)(1)(C). 
  
 (k)    “Valuation Date” means December 31 of
each year. 
  
 Section 4.    EGTRRA Amendments. 
  
 The following provisions modify the foregoing provisions of this Supplement A and shall apply for purposes of determining
whether the Plan is top-heavy under Code section 416(g) for Plan Years beginning on or after January 1, 2002, and whether the Plan satisfies the minimum benefits requirements of Code section 416(c) for such years. These provisions are intended to
comply in good faith with the requirements of the Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001 and shall be construed accordingly. Except to the extent modified herein, the provisions of Supplement A shall continue to apply.

  
 (1)    Determination of Top-Heavy Status. 
  
 (a)    “Key Employee” shall mean any Employee or former Employee (including any
deceased Employee) who at any time during the Plan Year that includes the Determination Date (as defined in Section 3(c) of this Supplement A) was an officer of the Company or Participating Company having annual compensation greater than $130,000
(as adjusted under Code section 416(i)(1) for Plan Years beginning after December 31, 2002), a 5% owner of the Company or Participating Company, or a 1% owner of the Company or Participating Company having annual compensation of more than $150,000.
For this purpose, annual compensation means compensation within the meaning of Code section 415(c)(3). The determination of who is a Key Employee will be made in accordance with Code section 416(i)(1) and the applicable regulations and other
guidance of general applicability issued thereunder. 
  
 (b)    Determination
of Present Values and Amounts.    For purposes of determining the present values of accrued benefits and the amounts of account balances of Employees as of the Determination Date, the following provisions shall apply:

  
 (A)    Distributions During the Year Ending on the Determination
Date.    The present values of accrued benefits and the amounts of account balances of an Employee as of the Determination Date shall be increased by the distributions made with respect to the Employee under the Plan and any
plan aggregated with the Plan under Code section 416(g)(2) during the 1-year period ending on the Determination Date. The preceding sentence shall also apply to distributions under a terminated plan which, had it not been terminated, would have been
aggregated with the Plan under Code section 416(g)(2)(A)(i). In the case of a
 

 
 A-5 








 
distribution made for a reason other than separation from service, death, or disability, this provision shall be applied by substituting “5-year period” for “1-year period.”

  
 (B)    Employees Not Performing Services During Year Ending on the
Determination Date.    The accrued benefits and accounts of any individual who has not performed services for the Company or Participating Company during the 1-year period ending on the Determination Date shall not be taken
into account. 
  
 (2)    Minimum benefits. 
  
 (a)    Matching Contributions.    Employer matching contributions shall be
taken into account for purposes of satisfying the minimum contribution requirements of Code section 416(c)(2) and the Plan. The preceding sentence shall apply with respect to matching contributions under the Plan or, if the Plan provides that the
minimum contribution requirement shall be met in another plan, such other plan. Employer matching contributions that are used to satisfy the minimum contribution requirements shall be treated as matching contributions for purposes of the actual
contribution percentage test and other requirements of Code section 401(m). 
  
 (b)    Contributions under other plans.    If a top-heavy minimum benefit is due to a non-Key Employee who is also a participant in the Morgan Stanley Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the
“ESOP”), it shall be provided under the ESOP and not under this Plan.

 (e)    “Excess Elective Deferrals” means those Elective Deferrals that are includible in the Puerto Rico
Participant’s gross income under Code section 402(g) or under PR Code section 1165(e)(7) to the extent that such Puerto Rico Participant’s Elective Deferrals for a taxable year exceed the dollar limitation under such respective section.

  
 (f)    “Participant” means an individual so described
in Section 3 of the Plan including any such individual who resides in Puerto Rico. 
  
 4.    Payment of Company Contributions.    For the purposes of this Supplement only, the portion of any Company Contribution made by each Participating Company in Puerto Rico for each
Plan Year shall be determined by the Company and shall be paid to the Trustee at such time or times as the Participating Company in Puerto Rico shall determine, but in any event before the date for filing such Participating Company’s Puerto
Rico income tax return for the Plan Year, including any extension of such date. 
  
 5.    Revised Section 5 Employee Contributions.    For the purposes of this Supplement only, Sections 5(a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (f), (g), (j), (k) and (l) of the Plan document will read
as follows and Sections 5(h) and (i) will not be applicable (for purposes of compliance with the PR Code): 
  
 SECTION 5:    Employee Contributions. 
  
 (a)    Pre-Tax Contributions.    Each Puerto Rico Participant who is an Eligible IIG Employee may make Pre-Tax Contributions to the Plan for any year equal to any whole percentage from
1% to 10% of the Puerto Rico Participant’s Earnings for such year; a Puerto Rico Participant may make After-Tax Contributions equal to any whole percentage from 1% to 10% of the Puerto Rico Participant’s Earnings; provided that a Puerto
Rico Participant’s combined Pre-Tax Contributions and After-Tax Contributions do not exceed 17% of the Puerto
 

 
 B-2 








 
Rico Participant’s Earnings; the Committee may at any time and from time to time limit the amount of Pre-Tax Contributions allowed to be made by some or all Eligible IIG Employees to ensure
compliance with applicable nondiscrimination or other rules, provided, however, that in no event shall any such limitation restrict employees that are not Puerto Rico Highly Compensated Employees to any greater extent than similarly situated
individuals that are Puerto Rico Highly Compensated Employees. 
  
 (b)    After-Tax Adjustment Contributions.    In order that the Plan may comply with the requirements of Code sections 401(k) and 415 and the regulations thereunder and with the
requirements of PR Code section 1165(e) and the regulations thereunder, at any time during the Plan Year the Committee (at its sole discretion) may reduce the rate at which any Puerto Rico Participant who is a Puerto Rico Highly Compensated Employee
may contribute Pre-Tax Contributions, or discontinue all such contributions, for the remainder of such Plan Year. Such a reduction or discontinuance may be applied selectively to individual Puerto Rico Participants who are Puerto Rico Highly
Compensated Employees or to particular classes of Puerto Rico Participants who are Puerto Rico Highly Compensated Employees, as the Committee may determine. Any Puerto Rico Participant whose Pre-Tax Contributions are reduced or discontinued under
this Section 5(b) shall make After-Tax Adjustment Contributions to the Plan during the remainder of the Plan Year equal to the percentage of the Puerto Rico Participant’s Earnings that the Committee has determined cannot be made as Pre-Tax
Contributions provided, that in order that the Plan may comply with the requirements of Code section 401(m) and the regulations thereunder, at any time during the Plan Year the Committee (at its sole discretion) may reduce the rate at which a Puerto
Rico Participant may contribute After-Tax Adjustment Contributions, or discontinue all such contributions, for the remainder of such Plan Year. Any reduction or discontinuance of Pre-Tax or After-Tax Adjustment Contributions made pursuant to this
Section 5(b) shall automatically cease to apply upon the close of the Plan Year in which it is made, or on such earlier date in such Plan Year as the Committee may determine. 
  
 (c)    Changing the Rate and Suspension of Contributions.    A Puerto Rico Participant may elect as of any
Valuation Date to change the rate of Pre-Tax Contributions to any other rate that is within the limitations described in Section 5(a) and 5(b) of this Supplement. If a Puerto Rico Participant is making After-Tax Adjustment Contributions, and he or
she elects to reduce the rate of his or her Pre-Tax Contributions, and if, as a result of such election, the Committee determines that it is no longer necessary for the Puerto Rico Participant to make some or all of such After-Tax Adjustment
Contributions, the appropriate amount of the Puerto Rico Participant’s After-Tax Adjustment Contributions shall automatically cease. The Puerto Rico Participant may elect to discontinue all Pre-Tax Contributions. Such election shall take effect
as soon as reasonably practicable following its receipt. 
  
 (d)    Maximum
Amount of Elective Deferrals.    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the amount of Elective Deferrals made with respect to any individual during a calendar year under the Plan and all other plans, contracts or
arrangements of any member of the Affiliated Group may not exceed the amount of the limitation in effect under Code section 402(g)(l) and PR Code section 1165(e)(7) for taxable years beginning in such calendar year. 

 
 B-3 








  
 (e)    Distribution of Excess Elective
Deferrals.    A Puerto Rico Participant may assign to the Plan any Excess Elective Deferrals made during a taxable year of the Puerto Rico Participant by notifying the Committee no later than the date determined by the
Committee that follows the close of such taxable year of the amount of the Excess Elective Deferrals to be assigned to the Plan. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, to the extent practicable, Excess Elective Deferrals, plus any income
and minus any loss allocable thereto, shall be distributed no later than April 15 following such taxable year to any Puerto Rico Participant to whose account Excess Elective Deferrals were assigned for the preceding year and who claims Excess
Elective Deferrals for such taxable year. 
  
 (f)    Actual Deferral
Percentage Test. 
  
 (1)    Elective Deferrals for Puerto Rico Participants
shall not exceed the limits set forth in PR Code section 1165(e)(3). For purposes of applying such limits, PR Code section 1165(e)(3) and the regulations thereunder are incorporated by reference and are hereinafter referred to as the “PR ADP
Test.” 
  
 (2)    All or part of the Qualified Matching Contributions and
Qualified Non-Elective Contributions made with respect to any or all Puerto Rico Eligible Employees may be treated as Elective Deferrals for purposes of the PR ADP Test provided that each of the following requirements is met: 

 
 (i)    the nonelective contributions, including Qualified Non-Elective Contributions
treated as Elective Deferrals for purposes of the PR ADP Test, satisfy the requirements of PR Code section 1165(a)(4); 
  
 (ii)    the nonelective contributions, excluding Qualified Non-Elective Contributions treated as Elective Deferrals for purposes of the PR ADP Test, satisfy the requirements of PR Code section 1165(a)(4);

  
 (iii)    the matching contributions, including Qualified Matching
Contributions treated as Elective Deferrals for purposes of the PR ADP Test, satisfy the requirements of PR Code section 1165(a)(4); 
  
 (iv)    the matching contributions, excluding Qualified Matching Contributions treated as Elective Deferrals for purposes of the PR ADP Test, satisfy the requirements of PR Code
section 1165(a)(4); 
  
 (v)    all such Qualified Non-Elective Contributions and
Qualified Matching Contributions are nonforfeitable when made and subject to the same distribution restrictions that apply to Elective Deferrals, without regard to whether such Qualified Non-Elective Contributions and Qualified Matching
Contributions are actually taken into account as Elective Deferrals; 

 
 B-4 








  
 (vi)    all such Qualified Non-Elective
Contributions and Qualified Matching Contributions are allocated to the Accounts of Puerto Rico Eligible Employees as of a date with the Plan Year (pursuant to Treas. Reg. section 1.401(k)-1(B)(4)(I)(A)) as if such contributions were Elective
Deferrals; and 
  
 (vii)    , if the Plan uses the provisions of Section 5(f)(2)
of this Supplement B for purposes of the PR ADP Test, then, for purposes of PR Code section 1165(a)(3) (other than the average benefit percentage test), the Plan may be aggregated with other plans of the Affiliated Group (determined with reference
to PR Code section 1028) to which the qualified non-elective contributions and qualified matching contributions are made. 
  
 (g)    Distribution of Excess Contributions. 
  
 (1)    Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, Excess Contributions, plus any income and minus any loss allocable thereto, shall be distributed no later than the last day of any Plan Year to Puerto Rico
Participants to whose Accounts Pre-Tax, Qualified Matching and Qualified Non-Elective Contributions were allocated for the preceding Plan Year. The Excess Contributions shall be adjusted for income or loss up to the date of distribution. The income
or loss allocable to Excess Contributions shall be determined by multiplying the income or loss allocable to the Puerto Rico Participant’s Pre-Tax, Qualified Matching and Qualified Non-Elective Contributions for the Plan Year allocated to the
Puerto Rico Participant by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Excess Contribution for the preceding Plan Year and the denominator of which is the sum of the Puerto Rico Participant’s Account balances attributable to Pre-Tax, Qualified
Matching and Qualified Non-Elective Contributions for the Plan Year. 
  
 (2)    A
Puerto Rico Participant may treat Excess Contributions as an amount distributed to the Puerto Rico Participant and then contributed by the Puerto Rico Participant to the Plan as After-Tax Adjustment Contributions. Such re-characterized amounts will
remain nonforfeitable and subject to the same distribution requirements as Pre-Tax Contributions. Amounts may not be re-characterized by a Puerto Rico Highly Compensated Employee to the extent that such amount in combination with other After-Tax
Adjustment Contributions would exceed 10% of the Puerto Rico Highly Compensated Employee’s Earnings for the Plan Year. Re-characterization must occur no later than two and one-half months after the last day of the Plan Year in which the Excess
Contributions arose and is deemed to occur no earlier than the date the last Puerto Rico Highly Compensated Employee is informed in writing of the amount which may be recharacterized and the consequences thereof. 
  
 (3)    The amount of Excess Contributions to be distributed under Section 5(g)(1) or recharacterized
under Section 5(g)(2) shall be reduced by Excess Elective Deferrals previously distributed under Section 5(e) for the Puerto Rico Participant’s taxable year ending with or within the Plan Year for which such Excess Contributions were made.

  
 (j)    Payroll Deductions.    All Pre-Tax,
After-Tax and After-Tax Adjustment Contributions shall be made solely through periodic payroll deductions, unless the
 

 
 B-5 








 
Committee consents to another method of payment. All such contributions withheld during any calendar months shall be credited to the Trustee not later than the last day of the next following
month and shall be credited to the appropriate Accounts as soon as practicable thereafter. 
  
 (k)    Salary Reduction and Tax Status of Pre-Tax Contributions.    For Federal and Puerto Rico tax purposes, Pre-Tax Contributions shall be deemed to be Company Contributions to the
Plan, and a Puerto Rico Participant’s election to make such contributions shall constitute an election to have the amount of his or her compensation that otherwise would have been reported as taxable compensation on Form W-2/PR reduced by the
amount of such contributions. 
  
 (l)    Administrative
Procedures.    The Committee may require Puerto Rico Participants to complete and file such forms, within such time periods as it shall determine, before any election under this Section 5 may take effect. 

 
 6.    Amendment and Termination of This Supplement. 
  
 (a)    Amendment Required for Qualification.    All provisions of this
Supplement, and all benefits and rights granted hereunder, are subject to any amendments, modifications or alterations which are necessary from time to time to qualify the Plan and Supplement under Code section 401(a) or 501(a) or under PR Code
section 1165(a), to continue the Plan as so qualified or to comply with any other provision of law. Accordingly, notwithstanding Section 19(a) of the Plan or any other provision of this Plan, the Company may amend, modify or alter the Plan, with or
without retroactive effect, in any respect or manner necessary to qualify the Plan and Supplement under Code section 401(a) or under PR Code section 1165(a). 
  
 (b)    Reversion of Funds.    All employer contributions are expressly conditioned on their deductibility
under Code section 404 and PR Code section 1023(n). To the extent permissible under ERISA, any employer contribution shall be returned to the appropriate Participating Company, upon its written request, to the extent that the contribution is
disallowed as a deduction, within one year after such disallowance.

 MORGAN STANLEY DPSP/START PLAN 
 SUPPLEMENT D 
  
 HISTORICAL DISTRIBUTION PROVISIONS

  
  
 This Supplement D to the Plan contains certain post-termination and
in-service distribution provisions in effect under the START Plan and the DPSP prior to the Plan Merger. Additional distribution forms not explicitly provided for in this Supplement also were available under the START Plan and DPSP to the extent
required by Code section 411(d)(6). Capitalized terms have the meanings given to such terms under the START Plan and the DPSP prior to the Plan Merger, and section references refer to the provisions of the START Plan and the DPSP prior to the Plan
Merger. 
  
 PRE-MERGER DEAN WITTER START PLAN PROVISIONS 
  
 1.    Prior to the Plan Merger, Sections 11(a) through 11(e) of the START Plan (Distribution of Plan Benefits) read as follows: 
  
 SECTION 11.    DISTRIBUTION OF PLAN BENEFITS 
  
 (a)    Form of Distribution.    Each Participant’s Plan Benefit shall
be distributed in the form of a lump sum consisting of: (i) a certificate or certificates for whole shares of Stock representing the portions of a Participant’s Accounts that are invested in the Morgan Stanley Dean Witter Stock Fund, Sears
Stock Fund, SPS Stock Fund or Allstate Stock Fund and (ii) a check for any fractional share of Stock and uninvested cash in the portions of a Participant’s Accounts that are invested in the Morgan Stanley Dean Witter Stock Fund, Sears Stock
Fund, SPS Stock Fund or Allstate Stock Fund and for the entire value of the portions of the Participant’s Accounts that are invested in all other Investment Funds. Effective January 1, 2002, each Participant’s Plan Benefit shall be
distributed in the form of a lump sum consisting of, at the election of the Participant, either a check for the entire value of the Participant’s Accounts or (i) a certificate or certificates for whole shares of stock representing the portion
of the Participant’s Accounts invested in the Morgan Stanley Dean Witter Stock Fund, plus (ii) a check for any fractional share of stock and uninvested cash in the portion of the Participant’s Accounts invested in the Morgan Stanley Dean
Witter Stock Fund, and for the entire value of the portions of the Participant’s Accounts invested in all other Investment Funds. With respect to distributions occurring on or after March 1, 2001, a Participant may request a distribution of all
or any portion of his Plan Benefit, in accordance with procedures specified by the Plan Administrator; provided that a Participant may not receive more than two distributions in any calendar year (unless the Participant requests a final
distribution in the amount of his or her remaining Plan Benefit) and may not receive any distribution which is less than $500 (or the amount of the Participant’s remaining Plan Benefit, if less) under this Section 11(a). In the case of a
distribution under this Section 11(a) which is less than the entire amount of a 

 
 D-1 








 
Participant’s Plan Benefit, the Plan Administrator shall withdraw assets from the Participant’s Accounts in the order determined by the Plan Administrator on a uniform and
nondiscriminatory basis in accordance with applicable law. 
  
 (b)    Time of
Distribution.    Prior to March 1, 2001, subject to Section 11(c), a Participant’s Plan Benefit shall be distributed approximately 90 days after the earlier of (i) the end of the Quarter in which the Participant
terminates employment or (ii) if the Participant transfers employment from a member of the Affiliated Group to a subsidiary of DWD (other than a member of the Affiliated Group), including but not limited to SPS, the later of the date of such
transfer or the date the Participant becomes 100% vested in the Participant’s Matching Contribution Account. On or after March 1, 2001, subject to Section 11(c), a Participant’s Plan Benefit shall be distributed as soon as practicable
after the date as of which the Participant’s employment with all members of the Affiliated Group terminates. Any allocation of contributions and forfeitures made subsequent to the distribution of a Participant’s Account in a lump sum shall
be paid as soon as practicable after the date of such allocation. 
  
 (c)    Right to Deferred Distribution.    If a Participant whose vested Accounts exceed $3,500 in value on the date the Participant terminates employment does not consent to the
distribution of the Participant’s Plan Benefit under Section 11(b), then payment of the Participant’s Plan Benefit shall, subject to Section 13(a), be deferred to such date as the Participant shall elect. With respect to Participants whose
employment terminates on or after January 1, 1998, if a Participant whose vested Accounts exceed the amount described in Code Section 411(a)(11) on the date the Participant terminates employment does not consent to the distribution of the
Participant’s Plan Benefit under Section 11(b), then payment of the Participant’s Plan Benefit shall, subject to Section 13(a), be deferred to such date as the Participant shall elect. Subject to Section 11(a), a Participant who elects to
defer a distribution shall have a single opportunity to change the date so elected to an earlier or later date. If no consent is given and no election to defer is made, such Participant’s Plan Benefit shall be distributed as of the Valuation
Date coincident with or next following the date the Participant attains Normal Retirement Age. Effective January 1, 2000, if a Participant whose vested Accounts exceed the amount described in Code Section 411(a)(11) on the date the distribution
commences does not consent to the distribution of the Participant’s Plan Benefit under Section 11(b), then payment of the Participant’s Plan Benefit shall, subject to Section 13(a), be deferred to such date as the Participant shall elect.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, effective January 1, 2000, if the Participant’s vested Accounts do not exceed $5,000 as of January 1 (or such other date(s) as the Plan Administrator shall designate from time to time), then the deferral of the
Participant’s Plan Benefit shall end, and distribution of the Participant’s Plan Benefit shall be made approximately 90 days thereafter, provided, however, that at the time of distribution the Participant’s vested Accounts do not, in
fact, exceed $5,000. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the distribution of a Participant’s Plan Benefit shall begin not later the 60th day after the close of the Plan Year in which the latest of the following events occurs:


 
 D-2 








  
 (i)    The Participant attains Normal
Retirement Age. 
  
 (ii)    The 10th anniversary of the date on which the
Participant commenced participation in the Plan. 
  
 (iii)    The termination of
the Participant’s employment with the Affiliated Group. 
  
 (iv)    The date
specified by the Participant in an election made pursuant to this Section 11(c). 
  
 If a
distribution is one to which Code sections 401(a)(11) and 417 do not apply, such distribution may commence less than 30 days after the notice required under Treas. Reg. section 1.411(a)-11(c) is given, provided that: 
  
 (x)    the Plan Administrator clearly informs the Participant that the Participant has a right to a
period of at least 30 days after receiving the notice to consider the decision of whether or not to elect a distribution (and, if applicable, a particular distribution option), and 
  
 (y)    the Participant, after receiving the notice, affirmatively elects a distribution. 
  
 Accounts pending distribution shall continue to share in the investment experience of the Trust Fund until the Valuation
Date as of which distributed. 
  
 (d)    Death of
Participant.    If a Participant dies prior to receiving the Participant’s entire Plan Benefit, the remaining portion of the Participant’s Plan Benefit shall be paid to the Participant’s surviving spouse, but
if there is no surviving spouse, or, if the surviving spouse consents in a manner conforming to a qualified election under the Retirement Equity Act of 1984, as amended, then to the Participant’s Beneficiary; provided that, following the
death of a Participant on or after March 1, 2000, any amount distributed pursuant to this Section 11(d) shall be distributed no later than December 31st of the calendar year which contains the fifth anniversary of the Participant’s death.
Subject to the provisions of the foregoing sentence, upon the death of a Participant, the Participant’s surviving spouse, if any, shall be entitled to make such elections or decisions as the Participant was authorized to make under this Section
11, and any provision as to deferrals and elections shall be made with reference to the date of death of the Participant (instead of the date he or she terminated employment). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if prior to being notified of the death of
a Participant the Plan Administrator has made a distribution or instructed the Trustee to make a distribution to any such Participant, the provisions of this Section 11(d) shall not be applicable and such distribution shall be considered to have
been made in accordance with the other provisions of this Section 11. 

 
 D-3 








  
 (e)    Designation of
Beneficiary.    Any designation of a Beneficiary shall be made in writing and filed with the Plan Administrator. A Beneficiary designation may be revoked by the Participant at any time without notice to or consent of any
previously designated Beneficiary; provided, that any new designation of Beneficiary must comply with any applicable spousal consent requirement. If no Beneficiary is designated, or the designated Beneficiary does not survive the Participant and no
alternative Beneficiary is designated, the Beneficiary shall be the Participant’s surviving spouse, or, if none, the Participant’s estate. If the designated Beneficiary cannot be located by the Plan Administrator for a period of one year
following death, despite mailing to such Beneficiary’s last known address, and the Beneficiary has not made written claim within such period to the Plan Administrator, the Beneficiary shall be treated as having predeceased the Participant.

  
 2.    Prior to the Plan Merger, Section 12 of the START Plan (Withdrawals and Loans) read as
follows: 
  
 SECTION 12.    WITHDRAWALS AND LOANS 
  
 (a)    General Rule.    Subject to the following provisions of this Section
12, a Participant who is an Employee may make a withdrawal of all or any portion of the balance of any or all of his or her Employee Accounts; except as otherwise specifically provided in this Section 12, a Participant may not withdraw any portion
of his or her Company Accounts. 
  
 (b)    Limitations of
Withdrawals.    Withdrawals shall be subject to the following limitations: 
  
 (i)    To make a withdrawal, a Participant must complete such process as may be established by the Plan Administrator. 
  
 (ii)    Prior to March 1, 2001, a Participant may not make more than one withdrawal for any quarterly record; on and after March 1,
2001, a Participant may not make more than two withdrawals (other than hardship withdrawals described in Section 12(g)) per calendar year. 
  
 (iii)    A Participant may not make a withdrawal from the Participant’s Pre-Tax Accounts except (A) after attaining age 59 1⁄2 or (B) upon suffering a hardship, as provided
in Sections 12(d) and (g). 
  
 (c)    Suspension of
Contributions.    If prior to January 1, 2001, a Participant makes a withdrawal (other than a hardship withdrawal described in Section 12(g)) from the Participant’s Basic Pre-Tax Account or Supplemental Pre-Tax Account,
the Participant shall not be permitted to make any Employee Contributions for the three months beginning on the first day of the first payroll period following the date the withdrawal request is processed by the Plan Administrator. In addition, the
Plan 

 
 D-4 








 
Administrator may from time to time prescribe written rules of uniform application by which Participants who make a hardship withdrawal as provided in Section 12(g) may not make elective or
employee contributions to this or any other plan of an Employer for a period to be determined by the Plan Administrator. 
  
 (d)    Source and Amount of Withdrawal.    In making a withdrawal or hardship withdrawal under this Section 12, a Participant shall specify the Investment Fund (or Funds) from
which the withdrawal or hardship withdrawal is to be made and the amount (a specified number of whole shares or the entire balance in a particular Investment Fund as of the Valuation Date of the Quarter preceding the Quarter in which the withdrawal
or hardship withdrawal is made) in accordance with such procedures as the Plan Administrator shall provide. In the case of a hardship withdrawal prior to March 1, 2001, the Plan Administrator shall, after determining that the Participant has taken
any loan permitted under Section 12(g) and withdrawn all available assets from Employee After-Tax Accounts, withdraw assets from an Investment Fund (or Funds) first from the Participant’s Supplemental Pre-Tax Account and then from the
Participant’s Basic Pre-Tax Account. In the case of a withdrawal prior to March 1, 2001 (other than a hardship withdrawal), in withdrawing assets from an Investment Fund (or Funds) the Plan Administrator shall withdraw assets from the
Participant’s Employee Contribution Accounts in the following order: 
  
 (1) Supplemental
After-Tax; 
 (2) Basic After-Tax; 
 (3) Basic After-Tax Adjustment; 
 (4) Supplemental Pre-Tax; and, 
 (5) Basic Pre-Tax. 
  
 In the case of a withdrawal, including a hardship withdrawal, on or after March 1, 2001, the Plan Administrator shall withdraw assets from the Participant’s Accounts in the order determined by the Plan Administrator on a uniform
and nondiscriminatory basis in accordance with applicable law. 
  
 In the case of a hardship
withdrawal, the Plan Administrator shall, after determining that the Participant has both taken any loan permitted under Section 12(g) and withdrawn all available assets from Employee After-Tax Accounts, withdraw assets from an Investment Fund (or
Funds) first from the Participant’s Supplemental Pre-Tax Account and then from the Participant’s Basic Pre-Tax Account. 
  
 (e)    Time of Payment of Withdrawals.    Withdrawals, and hardship withdrawals described in this Section 12, will be paid as soon as administratively
practicable following the approval of the Participant’s request for a withdrawal (or prior to March 1, 2001, normally approximately eight weeks following the receipt of a Participant’s request for a withdrawal). 

 
 D-5 








  
 (f)    Form of Payment of
Withdrawals.    Prior to March 1, 2001, all withdrawals from Employee Accounts that are invested in the Morgan Stanley Dean Witter Stock Fund, Sears Stock Fund, SPS Stock Fund and/or Allstate Stock Fund shall be paid in the
form of (i) one or more certificates for whole shares of Stock and (ii) a check for any fractional shares and any amount that was not invested in Stock on the relevant Valuation Date. Withdrawals designated to be made from the portions of a
Participant’s Employee Accounts invested in Investment Funds other than the Morgan Stanley Dean Witter Stock Fund, Sears Stock Fund, SPS Stock Fund or Allstate Stock Fund shall be paid in the form of a check. 
  
 On and after March 1, 2001, all withdrawals under this Section 12 shall be distributed in the form of a lump sum payment
consisting of (i) cash equal to the value of the portion of the Participant’s Accounts being withdrawn or (ii) at the election of the Participant and as permitted under this Section 12, whole shares of MWD Stock, Sears Stock and/or Allstate
Stock (each as may be credited to the Participant’s Accounts) and cash equal to the amount of any uninvested cash, plus the value of the portions of the Participant’s Accounts that are invested in all Investment Funds other than the MWD,
Sears and Allstate Stock Funds, in such proportions as the Participant may elect and in the aggregate equal to the value of the portion of the Participant’s Accounts being withdrawn. Unless the Participant elects otherwise, payment will be made
in accordance with clause (i) of the preceding sentence. If a distribution is made in the form of shares of stock, any unpaid dividends which may be due with respect to such stock and any portion to be distributed representing fractional shares of
such stock shall be paid in cash. 
  
 (g)    Hardship.    For hardship withdrawals prior to January 1, 1989, the rules of the Plan then in effect shall apply. Effective January 1, 1989: 
  
 (i)    Prior to March 1, 2001, hardship withdrawals hereunder may only be made from: 

 
 (A)    Basic and Supplemental Pre-Tax Contributions, 
  
 (B)    income allocable to Basic and Supplemental Pre-Tax Contributions credited to the
Participant’s Basic and Supplemental Pre-Tax Contribution Accounts as of December 31, 1988, and 
  
 (C)    amounts attributable to Rollover Contributions made prior to January 1, 1989, including any income allocable thereto. 
  
 In the case of a hardship withdrawal on or after March 1, 2001, the Plan Administrator shall withdraw assets from the Participant’s Accounts in the
order determined by the Plan Administrator on a uniform and nondiscriminatory basis in accordance with applicable law. 

 
 D-6 








  
 (ii)    A distribution will be considered to
be necessary to satisfy an immediate and heavy financial need of a Participant only if the Participant has obtained all distributions, other than hardship distributions, and all nontaxable loans available under all plans maintained by any member of
the Affiliated Group, and the distribution is not in excess of the amount of the immediate and heavy financial need. 
  
 (iii)    For purposes of this Section 12(g), the term “hardship” shall mean immediate and heavy financial needs of the Participant where such Participant lacks other reasonably available
financial resources, arising out of any one or more of the following: 
  
 (A)    expenses for medical care described in Code section 213(d) previously incurred by the Participant, the Participant’s spouse, or any dependents of the Participant (as defined in Code section 152) or
necessary for these persons to obtain medical care described in Code section 213(d); 
  
 (B)    costs directly related to the purchase of a principal residence for the Participant (excluding mortgage payments); 
  
 (C)    payment of tuition and related educational fees for the next 12 months of post-secondary education for the Participant,
Participant’s spouse, children or dependents (as defined in Code section 152); 
  
 (D)    payments necessary to prevent the eviction of the Participant from the Participant’s principal residence or foreclosure on the mortgage on that residence; 
  
 (E)    any amounts necessary to pay any federal, state or local income taxes or penalties reasonably
anticipated to result from a hardship withdrawal under this Section 12(g); or 
  
 (F)    such other instances of deemed immediate and heavy financial needs together with such additional methods for the hardship withdrawal to be deemed necessary to satisfy such needs as the Commissioner of
Internal Revenue shall provide through the publication of revenue rulings, notices and other documents of general applicability. 
  
 (h)    Loans 
  
 (i)    Availability of Loans.    A Participant may elect, in such form and manner as the Plan Administrator may prescribe, to borrow from the Trust solely for the purposes listed under
clause (vii) of this Section 12(h), an amount in cash not to exceed the amount permitted under clause (ii) of this Section 12(h) before October 15, 1998. A Participant taking a loan under this Section 12(h) shall be ineligible to take another loan
under this Section 12(h) until the expiration of 12 full calendar months 

 
 D-7 








 
following the date of such loan. Loan repayments (principal and interest) will be proportionately credited among the Participant’s Accounts from which the loan proceeds were transferred
pursuant to (iii) above and reinvested in Investment Funds based on the Participant’s then-current directions with respect to the investment of contributions, or in such other manner as is determined by the Plan Administrator in its discretion
on a uniform and nondiscriminatory basis. 
  
 (ii)    Limitations on
Loans.    Each loan under this Section 12(h) shall be limited to an amount not to exceed (when added to the outstanding balance of all other loans made to the Participant by any plan maintained by the Affiliated Group) the
lesser of: 
  
 (A)    $50,000 reduced by the excess, if any, of the highest
outstanding balance of loans from any such plan to the Participant during the one-year period ending on the day before the date on which the loan is made, over the outstanding balance of loans from any such plan to the Participant on the date on
which the loan is made and 
  
 (B)    one-half of the vested balance of the
Participant’s Accounts as of the most recent Valuation Date. 
  
 Notwithstanding the foregoing,
no loan shall be granted under this Section 12(h) in an amount less than $500; provided that, prior to March 1, 2001, no loan shall be granted in an amount less than $1,000. 
  
 (iii)    Sources of Loan Proceeds and Designation of Payments.    Loans made pursuant to this Section 12(h)
and payments thereof, shall be appropriately charged and credited against the Participant’s Supplemental After-Tax, Basic After-Tax, Basic After-Tax Adjustment, Supplemental Pre-Tax, Basic Pre-Tax and Matching Contribution Account in that
order, or from such Account(s) or in such order as the Plan Administrator may, in its discretion, permit Participants to designate on a nondiscriminatory basis. Prior to the disbursement of the proceeds of a loan, an amount equal to the loan amount
shall be transferred from the Participant’s Accounts in the Investment Funds in which it is invested in proportion to the loan amount to a special loan fund (consisting solely of the Participant’s loans) established for the purpose of
disbursing the loan to the Participant. Any such transfer shall be disregarded for purposes of any transfer limitations under Section 6. 
  
 (iv)    Loans Evidenced by Note and Secured by Interest in Account.    A loan granted pursuant to this Section 12(h) shall be evidenced by such documents
as the Plan Administrator shall designate including a note which shall bear a reasonable rate of interest as determined by the Plan Administrator from time to time in a nondiscriminatory manner and which otherwise shall conform to the repayment
terms set forth in this Section 12(h). A loan made to a Participant pursuant to this Section 12(h) shall be secured by an interest in the Participant’s Accounts and/or by such other interests 

 
 D-8 








 
as the Plan Administrator may determine to constitute adequate security. The occurrence of an event of default under the loan note shall entitle the Trustee of the Plan to reduce the balance of
the Participant’s Accounts up to the amount of the Plan’s security interest therein. The loan note shall be an asset solely of the borrowing Participant’s Accounts and interest on the loan shall be credited to the Participant’s
Accounts. 
  
 (v)    Loan Repayment Terms.    A loan
made pursuant to this Section 12(h) shall be repaid over a period not to exceed five years from the date of the loan, unless the Participant certifies in writing to the Plan Administrator that the loan proceeds are to be used solely to acquire a
dwelling unit which is to be used, within a reasonable period of time, as the Participant’s principal residence, in which case, the loan shall be repaid over a period not to exceed fifteen years from the date of such loan. Such repayment shall
be made in level installments of principal and interest which the Participant shall authorize to be repaid by payroll deductions or by such other method as is determined by the Plan Administrator on a uniform and nondiscriminatory basis. Loan
repayments (principal and interest) will be proportionately credited among the Participant’s Accounts from which the loan proceeds were transferred pursuant to (iii) above and reinvested in Investment Funds based on the Participant’s
then-current directions with respect to the investment of contributions, or in such other manner as is determined by the Plan Administrator in its discretion on a uniform and nondiscriminatory basis. The entire outstanding amount of the loan may be
prepaid without penalty at any time. The note shall provide that in all events the outstanding principal and interest due thereon shall be repaid not later than the date of the Participant’s termination of employment or such other date as the
Plan Administrator shall specify. In the event of default, foreclosure on the note and attachment of security will not occur until a distributable event occurs under the Plan. 
  
 (vi)    Loans Available on Nondiscriminatory Basis.    All loans made pursuant to this Section 12(h), shall
be made available to all Participants on a reasonably equivalent, nondiscriminatory basis. 
  
 (vii)    Circumstances Under Which Loans are Permitted.    The Plan Administrator may approve a loan under this Section 12(h) for the purpose of satisfying one or more
“hardships” described in Section 12(g)(iii) or for the purposes of satisfying an immediate or heavy financial need of the Participant caused by or resulting from an accident, illness, death, educational, housing or shelter requirements or
other economic adversity that the Plan Administrator determines to be a financial hardship. The Plan Administrator may reasonably rely on the written representations of the Participant in determining whether a loan is requested for a purpose
permitted under this clause (vii). 
  
 (viii)    Other Provisions Relating to
Loans.    To the extent required by ERISA section 408 or Code section 4975, notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this Section 12(h), loans may be made to a Participant who is, at the time of the loan, both a former
employee and a “party in interest” as defined in ERISA section 3(14) with respect to the Plan. In the case of any such loan, the preceding provisions of this Section 

 
 D-9 








 
12(h) dealing with payment by payroll deduction and acceleration on termination of employment shall not apply. Loans shall not be made available to highly compensated employees (as defined in
Code section 414(q)) in an amount greater than the amount made available to other employees. 
  
 (ix)    Transfers to SPS.    Unless the Plan Administrator specifies otherwise in the applicable loan documents, the following rules shall apply in cases where a Participant terminates
employment with the Affiliated Group due to a transfer to SPS Transaction Services, Inc. or an affiliate thereof before October 15, 1998. If such a Participant has an outstanding loan under this Plan, the Participant may elect to have the note
evidencing such loan directly transferred to the SPS Transaction Services, Inc. START Plan (the “SPS START Plan”) in accordance with Code section 401(a)(31) and this Section 12(h). In such a case, the outstanding principal and interest due
on the note evidencing such loan shall not, by reason of such termination of employment, become immediately payable and the transfer of such note to the SPS START Plan shall not be an event of default under such note. 
  
 (x)    Transfers from SPS.    Unless the Plan Administrator specifies
otherwise in the applicable loan documents, the following rules shall apply in cases where a Participant becomes an employee of a Participating Company by reason of the Participant’s transfer of employment from SPS Transaction Services, Inc. or
an affiliate thereof before October 15, 1998. If such a Participant has an outstanding loan under the SPS START Plan, the Participant may elect a direct transfer to this Plan in accordance with Section 9(a) of the note evidencing the outstanding
amount of such loan. The electing Participant must acknowledge that (i) the Trustee of this Plan shall be treated as the payee of the note evidencing such loan, (ii) all other terms of the note, including the repayment schedule and interest rate,
shall continue to apply to the note and (iii) the loan shall be treated as a loan granted under this Plan. 
  
 (xi)    Suspension of Loan Repayments during Military Service.    Loan repayments will be suspended under this Plan as permitted under Code section 414(u)(4). 
  
 (xii)    Loan Procedures.    The Plan Administrator shall promulgate loan
procedures consistent with this Section 12, which, as amended from time to time, are hereby incorporated into and which hereby form a part of this Plan. 
  
 PRE-MERGER DPSP PROVISIONS 
  
 1.    Prior to the Plan Merger, Sections
10.1 through 10.3 of the DPSP (Distributions from the Trust Fund) read as follows: 

 
 D-10 








  
 10.1    Payments upon Retirement.

  
 (a)    Subject to the further provisions of this Article 10, upon retirement
of a Participant pursuant to the Retirement Plan, the Value of his interest in the Trust Fund, determined as of the Valuation Date, shall thereupon become payable to him in the form elected by such Participant pursuant to Subsections 10.1(b),
10.1(c) or Section 10.7 [Payment of Eligible Rollover Distributions], unless he shall have elected to defer payment of his interest pursuant to Subsection 10.1(d). Upon retirement on or after March 1, 2001, a Participant may elect to have the value
of his interest in the Trust Fund, or any portion thereof, payable to him as a lump sum, in accordance with procedures specified by the Plan Administrator; provided that a Participant may not receive more than two distributions in any
calendar year under this Section 10.1(a). Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, a Participant may receive more than two distributions in a calendar year if, after electing two partial distributions in a calendar year, the Participant elects a
final lump sum distribution of the total value of his interest in the Trust Fund. 
  
 (b)    With respect to distributions commencing prior to March 1, 2001, any such Participant may elect to receive the Value of his non-forfeitable interest in the Trust Fund in not more than 15 annual installments
(the first of which shall be payable as shortly as practicable after the Valuation Date); provided, however, that the number of such annual installments which may be elected shall not be such as to extend the period of payments beyond
the normal life expectancy determined pursuant to Treasury Regulation section 1.72-9 (as of the date on which payments to such Participant commence) of the Participant and his Beneficiary. In the event that such an election is made and becomes
effective, and unless the Participant otherwise elects in accordance with Section 10.1(c) below, the amount of any annual installment to be paid to a Participant making such an election shall be based upon the Value of his interest in the Trust Fund
as of the Valuation Date and shall be determined by multiplying such Value by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be one and the denominator of which shall be the number of annual installments elected by such Participant pursuant to this
Section 10.1(b) less the number of such annual installments theretofore paid. 
  
 (c)    With respect to distributions commencing prior to March 1, 2001, any such Participant may further elect pursuant to the procedure for election set forth in the first sentence of Section 10.1(b), that the
amount of the first annual installment to be paid to him shall be any portion of the Value of his interest in the Trust Fund as of the Valuation Date, in which event each subsequent installment shall be based upon the value of his interest in the
Trust Fund on the Valuation Date coinciding with or next following each anniversary of the Valuation Date of the first installment and shall be determined by multiplying such value by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be one and the
denominator of which shall be the number of annual installments elected by such Participant pursuant to Section 10.1(b) less the number of such annual installments theretofore paid. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section
10.1, effective January 1, 1997, a Participant who has retired pursuant to the Retirement Plan and who has already received at least one installment payment of his non-forfeitable 

 
 D-11 








 
interest in the Trust Fund pursuant to an election made pursuant to Section 10.1(b) or (c) may make a one-time election to receive a lump sum distribution of all or any portion of the remainder
of the Value of such Participant’s non-forfeitable interest in the Trust Fund at any time, which lump sum shall be payable as shortly as practicable after the Valuation Date. In the event that a Participant elects to receive a lump sum
distribution of the entire Value of his non-forfeitable interest in the Trust Fund, all further installment payments to such Participant shall cease. In the event that a Participant elects to receive a lump sum distribution of a portion of the
remainder of the Value of his non-forfeitable interest in the Trust Fund, each subsequent installment shall be based upon the Value of his interest in the Trust Fund on the Valuation Date coinciding with or next following each anniversary of the
Valuation Date of the first installment and shall be determined by multiplying such Value by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be one and the denominator of which shall be the number of annual installments elected by such Participant less the
number of such annual installments theretofore paid. 
  
 (d)    Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in Sections 10.1(a), (b) or (c), a former Employee who is eligible to receive a Retirement Allowance under the Retirement Plan may elect in writing to defer the commencement of receipt of his interest in the Trust
Fund until the time specified in Section 10.6(b). Effective January 1, 1997, a former Employee who has made an election to defer the commencement of receipt of his interest in the Trust Fund pursuant to this Section 10.1(d) may make an election to
receive a lump sum distribution of any portion of the Value of such Participant’s non-forfeitable interest in the Trust Fund at any time, which lump sum shall be payable as soon as practicable after the Valuation Date, and shall continue to
defer the commencement of receipt for the remainder of his interest in the Trust Fund until the time specified in Section 10.6(b); provided, however, that on and after January 1, 2002, a Former Participant may not receive more than two partial
distributions in any calendar year under this Section 10.1(d). Notwithstanding the proviso of the foregoing sentence, a Participant may receive more than two distributions in a calendar year if, after electing two partial distributions in a calendar
year, the Participant elects a final lump sum distribution of the total value of his interest in the Trust Fund. 
  
 10.2    Payments upon Death. 
  
 (a)    Upon the death of a Participant in Service or following termination of Service prior to the Participant’s annuity starting date (as defined in Code section 417(f)(2)(A)(ii)), the Value of the
Participant’s interest in the Trust Fund shall become payable in one lump sum to the Participant’s Beneficiary or Beneficiaries. Upon the death of a Participant subsequent to the Participant’s annuity starting date and while the
Participant is receiving installment payments, the remaining Value of his interest in the Trust Fund shall become payable in one lump sum to the Participant’s Beneficiary or Beneficiaries. 
  

(b)    As to any portion of the interest of a Participant with respect to which no Beneficiary has been designated either under the
terms of the Plan or by such 

 
 D-12 








 
Participant, or the Beneficiary so designated fails to survive the Participant, the Value of such portion shall be payable to the executor or administrator of the Participant’s estate or, if
the Committee shall so determine, on a nondiscriminatory basis, to the Participant’s spouse, blood relatives, children or other dependents, or any of them, in such proportion as the Committee may deem proper. 
  
 (c)    Any amount distributed pursuant to this Section 10.2 shall be distributed no later than
December 31st of the calendar year which contains the fifth anniversary of the Participant’s death.

  
 10.3    Payments on Other Termination of
Employment.    Subject to the further provisions of this Article 10, upon a Participant’s termination of Service for any reason other than retirement or death while in Service, the Value of his interest in the Trust
Fund, determined as of the Valuation Date, shall be paid to him, or, in the event of his death, to his Beneficiary, in one lump sum as soon as practicable after the Valuation Date coincident with or next following the earlier of (1) the date of his
death or (2) the date on which he attains age 65. Furthermore, effective March 1, 2001, a former Employee, including a former Employee who has elected to defer commencement of his interest in the Trust Fund pursuant to the preceding sentence, may
request a distribution of all or any portion of the Value of his interest in the Trust Fund, in accordance with procedures specified by the Plan Administrator; provided that a Participant may not receive more than two distributions in any
calendar year under this Section 10.3. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a former Employee may elect to defer commencement of receipt of this interest in the Trust Fund until the time specified in Section 10.6 [Latest Commencement of Benefits] or to
have the total Value of his accounts under the Plan, determined as of the Valuation Date (i) distributed to him in a lump-sum or (ii) distributed pursuant to Section 10.6. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Participant may receive more than two
distributions in a calendar year if, after electing two partial distributions in a calendar year, the Participant elects a final lump sum distribution of the total value of his interest in the Trust Fund. 
  
 2.    Prior to the Plan Merger, Article 6 of the DPSP (In-Service Withdrawals and Loans) read as follows:

  
 6.1.    Withdrawals in Respect of Voluntary
Contributions.    Each Participant or Former Participant shall be entitled to elect to withdraw as of any Valuation Date, a specified amount of cash in respect of his Voluntary Contributions, which shall not be less than $500
or, if less, the total value of such account. Except as otherwise provided under Section 6.3, withdrawals in respect of Voluntary Contributions, when aggregated with all other withdrawals under Sections 6.2 and 6.3, shall be limited to two per
calendar year. 
  
 6.2    Withdrawals in Respect of Tax Deductible
Contributions.    Each Participant or Former Participant shall be entitled to elect to withdraw as of any Valuation Date, a specified amount of cash in respect of his Tax Deductible Contributions, which 

 
 D-13 








 
shall not be less than $500 or, if less, the total value of such account. Except as otherwise provided under Section 6.3, withdrawals in respect of Tax Deductible Contributions, when aggregated
with all other withdrawals under Sections 6.1 and 6.3, shall be limited to two per calendar year. 
  
 6.3.    Other In-Service Withdrawals.    Effective January 1, 1997, each Participant or Former Participant who has attained age 59-1/2 shall be entitled to elect to withdraw as of any
Valuation Date, a specified amount of cash in respect of any of his contribution accounts, which shall not be less than $500 or, if less, the total value of such account. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the Participant’s or Former
Participant’s contribution accounts shall include accounts attributable to an ESOP Diversification Transfer. Withdrawals under this Section 6.3, when aggregated with all other withdrawals under Sections 6.1 and 6.2, shall be limited to two per
calendar year. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, a Participant may make more than two withdrawals in a calendar year if, after electing two partial withdrawals in a calendar year, the Participant elects a lump sum distribution of the total
value of his interest in the Trust Fund. 
  
 In the case of a withdrawal under this Section, the Plan
Administrator shall withdraw assets from the Participant’s accounts in the following order: 
  

	 	(1)
	 
	Voluntary Pre-87 After-Tax Account; 
 


	 	(2)
	 
	Voluntary Post-86 After-Tax Account; 
 


	 	(3)
	 
	IRA Contribution Account; 
 


	 	(4)
	 
	Rollover Contribution Account; 
 


	 	(5)
	 
	Pre-Tax Deferral Contribution Account; 
 


	 	(6)
	 
	DPSP Match Account for former Van Kampen employees; 
 


	 	(7)
	 
	Non-Elective Firm Contribution Account; 
 


	 	(8)
	 
	Firm Elective Deferral Contribution Account; 
 


	 	(9)
	 
	ESOP Firm Account (diversified); and 
 


	 	(10)
	 
	ESOP Match Account (diversified). 
 

  
 The amount requested shall, upon the Participant’s or Former Participant’s request and in accordance with procedures adopted by the Plan Administrator, be increased by the amount of federal,
state and local income taxes reasonably anticipated to result from the distribution, based on the amount of withholding requested by the Participant or Former Participant. 
  
 6.4    Payments in Cases of Hardship. 
  
 (a)    In case of hardship, a Participant or Former Participant may apply at any time for the immediate payment of all or any part of
the Value of his non-forfeitable interest in the Trust Fund attributable to that portion of Firm Contributions the Participant has elected to defer pursuant to Section 3.3 and to his Pre-Tax Deferral Contributions, determined as of the Valuation
Date. There may be paid to such Participant or Former Participant such portion or all of the Value of his non-forfeitable 

 
 D-14 








 
interest in the Trust Fund as the Committee may determine is necessary to alleviate such hardship; provided, however, that such Participant has previously withdrawn or
simultaneously withdraws his entire account balance, if any, attributable to his Voluntary Contributions and Tax Deductible Contributions pursuant to Sections 6.1 and 6.2, and has outstanding the maximum available loan from the Plan pursuant to
Section 6.4 (to the extent required by law). In case of hardship, a Participant or Former Participant may apply at any time for the immediate payment of all or any part of the Value of his non-forfeitable interest in the Trust Fund, determined as of
the Valuation Date, in the order specified below as follows; provided that the foregoing conditions have been met: 
  
 (i)    with respect to distributions prior to January 1, 2000, those amounts, if any, attributable to; 
  
 (A)    that portion of Firm Contributions the Participant has elected to defer pursuant to Section 3.3; and 
  
 (B)    Pre-Tax Deferral Contributions; 
  
 (ii)    with respect to distributions on or after January 1, 2000 and prior to March 1, 2001, those amounts, if any, attributable to;

  
 (A)    DPSP Match Account for former Van Kampen employees; 

 
 (B)    Voluntary Pre-87 After-Tax Account; 
  
 (C)    Voluntary Post-86 After-Tax Account; 
  

(D)    IRA Contribution Account; 
  
 (E)    Pre-Tax Deferral Contribution Account; and 
  
 (F)    Firm Elective Deferral Contribution Account; 
  
 (iii)    with respect to distributions on or after March 1, 2001, those amounts, if any, attributable to the accounts specified in
Section 6.3 in the order specified in that Section. 
  
 (b)    In making such
determination, the Committee shall apply the following rules on a uniform and non-discriminatory basis to all Participants or Former Participants eligible for such hardship distributions: 
  
 (1)    All requests for such payments must be made to the Committee, through the Department or in such other manner as the Committee
shall designate. 
  
 (2)    All such requests must be accompanied by such
documentation as the Committee or Department may require. 
  
 (3)    The
Department will review all requests and will make a recommendation to the Committee as to whether the request should be approved or 

 
 D-15 








 
rejected. In making its recommendation, the Department shall review all documentation and shall conduct such further review or investigation as may be necessary. 
  
 (4)    The Committee will consider the facts relevant to each requested hardship distribution,
subject to appropriate regulations. 
  
 (c)    For the purposes of this Section
6.4, a distribution will be on account of “hardship” if the distribution is necessary in light of immediate and heavy financial needs of the Participant including one or more of the following: 
  
 (i)    Purchase of a Participant’s or Former Participant’s primary residence; 

 
 (ii)    The need to prevent the eviction of the Participant or Former Participant from his
primary residence or foreclosure on the mortgage of his primary residence; 
  
 (iii)    Expenses for medical care described in Code section 213(d) previously incurred by or necessary to obtain such medical care for a Participant or Former Participant, the Participant or Former
Participant’s spouse, or any dependents of the Participant or Former Participant (as defined in Code section 152) which expenses are not covered by a medical benefit plan covering such individual; 
  
 (iv)    Tuition expenses and related educational fees for the next 12 months of post-secondary
education of the Participant or Former Participant, or the Participant’s or Former Participant’s spouse, children or dependents (as defined in Code section 152); 
  
 (v)    For hardship distributions occurring prior to March 1, 2001, expenses for the care of an aged or handicapped dependent of a
Participant or Former Participant (as defined in Code section 152); or 
  
 (vi)    For hardship distributions occurring prior to March 1, 2001, expenses for other hardships of a Participant or Former Participant that are essentially equivalent to those listed in (i) through (v).

  
 A distribution based upon financial hardship cannot exceed the amount required to meet the
immediate financial need created by the hardship and not reasonably available from other sources of the applicant. The amount necessary to satisfy an immediate and heavy financial need shall, upon the Participant’s or Former Participant’s
request, be increased by the amount of federal, state and local income taxes reasonably anticipated to result from the distribution, based on the amount of withholding requested by the Participant or Former Participant. 

 
 D-16 








  
 (d)    No optional deferral of the Firm
Contribution pursuant to Section 3.3 or Pre-Tax Deferral Contribution pursuant to Section 3.4 will be made on behalf of a Participant who makes a withdrawal on account of hardship pursuant to Section 6.4(a) until the first day of the calendar
quarter following the 12-month period commencing on the day the hardship withdrawal is distributed to the Participant. 
  
 (e)    During the Year following the Year in which a Participant has received distribution of a hardship withdrawal, the deferral contribution limitation otherwise applicable pursuant to Section 3.5 shall
be reduced by the sum of his or her Before-Tax Savings for the Year of the hardship distribution. 
  
 6.5    Plan Loans. 
  
 (a)    A
Participant who is a “party in interest” within the meaning of ERISA section 3(14) (other than a Participant who is employed outside the continental limits of the United States by a Foreign Subsidiary), and who has executed a loan
signature form supplied to the Participant by the Administrative Committee or Administrative Agent and completed such other documentation as the Administrative Committee shall require, may request a loan from the Plan in the manner prescribed by the
Committee and communicated to the Participants. The loan request shall specify the desired amount and term of the loan and any other information the Administrative Committee may require. 
  
 (b)    As soon as practicable after receipt of a loan request containing all required information, such loan shall be granted;
provided, however, that 
  
 (i)    the amount of any loan to a
Participant (when added to the outstanding balance of all other loans to the Participant from the Plan and all other qualified employer plans (within the meaning of Code section 72(p)(4)) maintained by an Employer or Affiliate or other related
employer within the meaning of Code section 72(p)(2)(D) (“controlled group loans”)), may not exceed the lesser of (A) one-half of the sum of the balance in his accounts consisting of Employer Contributions and Rollover Contributions and
ESOP Diversification Transfers, determined as of the most recent Valuation Date, or (B) $50,000 reduced by the excess, if any, of the greatest outstanding balance of loans from the Plan and controlled group loans during the one-year period ending on
the date such loan was made over the outstanding balance of loans from the Plan and controlled group loans on the date such loan was made; 
  
 (ii)    subject to the limitations in subparagraph (i) above, the minimum amount of any loan granted to a Participant shall be $500; 
  
 (iii)    the repayment period of any loan to a Participant shall be one to five years from the date
the loan is made; provided, however, that a maximum 15 year repayment period shall apply to any loan to acquire a dwelling unit which within a reasonable time is to be used as a principal residence of the Participant (determined at the


 
 D-17 








 
time of loan application) and for which the Participant has provided documentation satisfactory to the Committee that the proceeds thereof will be used in such manner; 
  
 (iv)    each loan shall bear interest in a fixed amount equal to the Prime Rate as released by the
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve in statistical release H.15 using the last release of the most recently preceding quarter; provided that the use of such rate shall be periodically reviewed by the Department and adjusted if necessary
to provide the Plan with a return commensurate with the interest rates charged by persons in the business of lending money for loans under similar circumstances; 
  
 (v)    no more than one loan per Participant may be made in any calendar year; prior to March 1, 2001, no more than two loans to a
Participant may be outstanding at any time; and, effective March 1, 2001, no more than one loan to a Participant may be outstanding at any time, except that, in the case of a Participant who had two loans outstanding as of February 28, 2001, such
two loans may continue to be outstanding at the same time. 
  
 (c)    The
Department shall make loans available to all Participants on a reasonably equivalent and nondiscriminatory basis and in accordance with ERISA section 408(b)(1); and any Participant to whom such loan is made agrees to such changes in the terms of the
loan as may be required by changes in the applicable law or regulations. 
  
 (d)    The entire principal amount of a loan may be prepaid at any time, without premium or penalty, together with accrued or unpaid interest on the amount as of the date of prepayment. For loans made prior to
September 1, 1993, partial prepayments of principal and interest are permitted, provided that, in the case of a prepayment of less than the entire principal amount of a loan, the amount of such prepayment shall be not less than $500.

  
 (e)    Principal and interest with respect to any loan to a Participant shall
be repaid by payroll deduction, in level installments, in amounts sufficient to liquidate the loan over its remaining term, which shall be subject to adjustment on a quarterly basis, effective as of the first pay period in such quarter, in
accordance with changes in the Prime Rate (or other applicable interest rate), as described in Section 6.5(b)(iv) above. In the event that a payroll deduction cannot be made in full for any reason other than an Authorized Absence or separation from
Service, the Participant shall pay directly to the Plan the full amount that would have been due, with such payment to be made by the last business day of the calendar quarter which includes such payment date. In the Event that a payroll deduction
cannot be made in full due to an Authorized Absence, if the Participant does not elect to have his loan reamortized over its remaining term upon his return to active Service, he shall make such payments as described in the preceding sentence.

  
 (f)    Upon a Participant’s separation from Service, or upon any
termination of the Plan pursuant to Section 12.2, the outstanding principal amount of each 

 
 D-18 








 
loan together with all accrued and unpaid interest shall become immediately due and payable. 
  
 (g)    Loans made pursuant to this Section 6.5 shall be charged pro rata against each investment fund in which the Participant is
invested (except that the Plan Administrator may, on a nondiscriminatory basis, permit Participants to choose whether or not investments in the Morgan Stanley Stock Fund shall be included for this purpose) and shall be appropriately charged against
the Participant’s accounts in such order as the Plan Administrator shall determine on a nondiscriminatory basis. 
  
 (h)    Loan repayments shall be credited to the Participant’s accounts in the same proportions that the loan was charged to the accounts and shall be invested in accordance with the
Participant’s then-current investment election on file pursuant to Section 7.4, or in such other manner as is determined by the Administrative Committee in its discretion on a uniform and nondiscriminatory basis. That portion of any account
that remains charged by reason of a loan to a Participant shall not share in any income, expense, gain or loss realized by the remainder of the Trust Fund and shall not be available for any in-service withdrawal or distribution provisions under the
Plan. 
  
 (i)    Each Participant to whom a loan is made agrees, by endorsement
of the check representing the proceeds of the loan, (i) that such loan shall be secured by a portion of his account balance equal to the outstanding amount of the loan, (ii) to repay such loan as provided herein by payroll deduction or otherwise,
and (iii) that he accepts the terms and conditions of such loan as set forth herein and/or as disclosed by the Administrative Committee or the Administrative Agent. 
  
 (j)    If a Participant fails to pay in full the principal amount of or the interest due and payable on his loan upon his separation
from Service or otherwise or if he fails to pay in full the principal amount of or the interest due and payable on his loan within five years of the date the loan is made 15 years in the case of a primary residence loan) (in either case the
“Due Date”), the balance of each of his accounts that have been charged by reason of the loan shall be reduced in the same proportions that such loan was charged to such accounts and any interest due on the loan shall be charged to each
such account in the same proportion as the unpaid principal amount of the loan charged to such account bears to the total unpaid principal amount. If the balance of an account is less than the amount by which such balance is to be reduced, the
excess shall be applied to further reduce the balances of the other accounts of the Participant in accordance with uniform and nondiscriminatory rules established by the Department. The amount by which a Participant’s accounts are reduced
pursuant to this Section 6.5(j) shall be deemed a distribution for tax purposes as of the Due Date. Any distribution to a Participant pursuant to any other provision of the Plan on or after such deemed distribution shall be limited to the amount of
his account balances less the amount by which his accounts have been reduced pursuant to this Section 6.5(j).

 MORGAN STANLEY DPSP/START PLAN 
 SUPPLEMENT E 
  
 ADDITIONAL HISTORICAL START PLAN PROVISIONS

  
 This Supplement E to the Plan reflects certain historical service crediting and vesting rules contained in the START Plan prior to the
Plan Merger. Capitalized terms have the meanings given to such terms under the START Plan prior to the Plan Merger, and section references refer to the provisions of the START Plan prior to the Plan Merger. 
  
 SERVICE CREDITING RULES 
  
 Prior to the Plan Merger, the service crediting rules set forth in Section 3 of the START Plan read as follows: 
  
 SECTION 3.    PERIOD OF SERVICE 
  
 An Employee’s
service shall be determined under the following rules: 
  
 (a)    Definitions.    For purposes of this Section 3 the following terms have the following meanings unless the context clearly indicates a different meaning: 
  
 “Affiliated Group” means Affiliated Group as defined in Section 21 and any other entity required to be
aggregated with any Participating Company pursuant to Code section 414(o) and the regulations thereunder. 
  
 “Employment Commencement Date” means the date on which an Employee first is credited with an Hour of Service. 
  
 “Hour of Service” means each hour for which an Employee is paid or entitled to payment for the performance of duties for the Company or for any member of the Affiliated Group.

  
 “One Year Break” means a Period of Severance of 12 consecutive months.

  
 “Period of Service” means a period beginning on an Employee’s Employment
Commencement Date or Reemployment Commencement Date and ending on the Employee’s Severance Date. An Employee’s Period of Service also includes any other period which constitutes a “Period of Service” under written rules or
regulations adopted from time to time by the Plan Administrator. 
  
 Effective January 1, 2000,
Period of Service shall include such periods as the Company determines are required to be taken into account for eligibility and vesting purposes in order to comply with Code section 414(n)(4). 

 
 E-1 








 “Period of Severance” means each period from an Employee’s Severance Date to the
Employee’s next Reemployment Commencement Date. 
  
 “Reemployment Commencement
Date” means the date on which an Employee first is credited with an Hour of Service after a Severance Date. 
  
 “Severance Date” means the earlier of the date on which an Employee quits, retires, is discharged or dies; or the first anniversary of the first date of a period in which an Employee remains continuously
absent from service with an Employer (with or without pay) for any reason other than quit, retirement, discharge or death. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Employee shall not have a Severance Date when the Employee: 
  
 (i)    Takes a leave of absence without pay approved by the appropriate member of the Affiliated
Group. In the case of an approved leave of absence without pay for a period in excess of 12 months, the Employee shall be deemed to have a Severance Date as of the end of such 12-month period if the Employee fails to abide by the terms and
conditions of such leave, which may include a requirement to return to active employment. 
  
 (ii)    Enters the military service of the United States, provided the Employee returns to active employment with any member of the Affiliated Group within the time the Employee’s reemployment rights are
protected under applicable law. If the Employee does not so return, the Employee shall be deemed to have a Severance Date as of the date of entry into military service. 
  
 (iii)    Is unable to work due to disability or sickness. 
  
 (iv)    Is on jury duty, a leave of absence with pay, an approved vacation or a holiday. 
  
 (v)    Is absent from work for maternity or paternity reasons. For purposes of this paragraph (v), an
absence from work for maternity or paternity reasons means an absence; 
  
 (1)    by reason of the pregnancy of the individual, 
  
 (2)    by reason of a birth of a child of the individual, 
  
 (3)    by reason of the placement of a child with the individual in connection with the adoption of such child by such individual, or 
  
 (4)    for purposes of caring for such child for a period beginning immediately following such birth or placement. If the Employee does
not return to employment with a member of the Affiliated Group before the second anniversary of the 

 
 E-2 








 
beginning of such absence the Employee shall have a Severance Date on such second anniversary. 
  
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Employee quits, is discharged, dies or retires while on leave, vacation, holiday or jury duty, or while disabled or
sick, the Employee shall have a Severance Date on the earlier of the date of such quit, discharge, death or retirement, or 12 months after the commencement of such leave, vacation, holiday, jury duty, disability or sickness. An Employee shall be
deemed to have been discharged as of the earlier of the date the Employee received oral or written notice of discharge or the date a written notice of discharge is deposited in the United States mail (on a registered or certified basis) to the
Employee’s last known address. 
  
 “Year of Service” means a Period (or
Periods) of Service, whether or not consecutive, equal to 12 months. 
  
 (b)    Service of Rehired Employees 
  
 (i)    An Employee’s Period of Service shall include any period following the Employee’s Severance Date and prior to the Employee’s first Reemployment Commencement Date following such Severance Date
if such Reemployment Commencement Date occurs no later than 12 months after such Severance Date. 
  
 (ii)    For participation purposes only, an Employee’s Period of Service shall not include any period prior to a One Year Break unless the Employee completes a Year of Service after returning to employment.

  
 (iii)    For vesting purposes only, an Employee’s Period of Service
shall not include any period prior to a One Year Break unless the Employee completes an Hour of Service after returning to employment. 
  
 (c)    Service with Reynolds. In the case of any individual who was an employee of Reynolds Securities International Inc. or any subsidiary thereof at any time prior to the
merger of Reynolds Securities International Inc. with Dean Witter Organization Inc., Years of Service for periods prior to January 3, 1978 shall be determined by applying the rules of this Section 3 to that period of employment. The Years of Service
so determined shall be added to such individual’s Years of Service determined under this Plan, computed as though the individual’s Employment Commencement Date was the later of January 1, 1978 or the date such individual was first credited
with an Hour of Service. 
  
 (d)    Service with Sears or its
Subsidiaries. 
  
 (i)    If an individual was employed by Sears or any
subsidiary thereof prior to December 31, 1981, and is treated by any member of the Affiliated Group as having been continuously employed by a member of the Affiliated Group since December 31, 1981, such individual’s Years of Service shall be
determined by applying the rules of this 

 
 E-3 








 Section 3 to the entire period of such employment before and after December 31, 1981. If such an individual is not so
treated, such individual’s Years of Service shall be determined by applying the rules of this Section 3 only to the period of such employment after December 31, 1981. 
  
 (ii)    If, prior to the Spin-off, a Participant transferred employment to Sears or any subsidiary of Sears, other than DWD or a
subsidiary of DWD, and was employed by Sears or a subsidiary of Sears on the Spin-off date and remained continuously employed by Sears or any subsidiary of Sears after the Spin-off date, then, for purposes of vesting in Company Matching
Contributions, such transferred Participant’s Period of Service shall include service with Sears or a subsidiary of Sears after the Spin-off but not more than the lesser of such transferred Participant’s service with Sears or a subsidiary
of Sears or the service necessary for such transferred Participant to fully vest in his or her Matching Contribution Account, such post-Spin-off service to be determined in accordance with this Section 3. 
  
 (e)    Aggregation of Periods of Service.    Subject to Section 3(b), all
of an Employee’s Periods of Service determined pursuant to this Section 3 shall be aggregated on the basis of complete months, whether or not such Periods of Service are consecutive, except that if an Employee’s Period of Service commences
on other than the first day of a calendar month and ends on other than the last day of a calendar month, the days in such months shall be aggregated and one additional month of service shall be credited if the number of such days is at least 30 but
less than 60, and two additional months shall be credited if the number of such days equals 60. 
  
 (f)    Transferred Employees.    If a Participant transfers employment to SPS Transaction Services, Inc. (or any of its subsidiaries) (“SPS”) before October 15, 1998 or Nations
Securities, A Dean Witter/Nations Bank Company (“Nations”), such transferred Participant’s Period of Service shall include service with SPS before October 15, 1998 or Nations but not more than the lesser of such transferred
Participant’s service with SPS before October 15, 1998 or Nations or the service necessary for such transferred Participant to fully vest in the Matching Contribution Account, such post-transfer service to be determined in accordance with this
Section 3. 
  
 (g)    Service with SPS.    In the case
of any individual who was an employee of SPS and who either transferred employment to a member of the Affiliated Group before October 15, 1998 or severed employment with SPS before October 15, 1998 and is hired as an Employee by a member of the
Affiliated Group within 12 months of such severance, such Employee’s Service used to determine a Year of Service under this Section 3 shall include service with SPS before October 15, 1998 determined by applying the rules set forth in this
Section 3 to such Employee’s employment by SPS as if such employment was employment by a member of the Affiliated Group. 
  
 (h)    Service with Morgan Stanley.    Solely for purposes of determining an individual’s eligibility and vesting service under this Section 3,
employment (and 

 
 E-4 








 absences from employment) with Morgan Stanley Group Inc. (“MS”) or an ERISA Affiliate before the Effective Time
shall be taken into account as if such employment were service with the Affiliated Group. For this purpose, “Effective Time” shall have the meaning given to that term in the Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of
April 10, 1997, between DWD and MS and “ERISA Affiliate” shall mean a member of the Affiliated Group determined, as of any relevant date, as if MS were a Participating Company. 
  

VESTING AND FORFEITURE RULES 
  
 Prior to the Plan Merger, the vesting and
forfeiture rules set forth in Section 10 of the START Plan read as follows: 
  
 SECTION
10.    PLAN BENEFITS 
  
 (a)    Amount of
Benefit. Participant’s Plan Benefit shall be 100% of the Participant’s Accounts if the Participant attains Normal Retirement Age while employed by any member of the Affiliated Group or if the Participant terminates employment as a
result of death, Total and Permanent Disability, Retirement or Release. If a Participant terminates employment for any other reason, the Participant’s Plan Benefit shall be (i) 100% of the Participant’s Accounts other than the Matching
Contribution Account and (ii) the vested portion of the Participant’s Matching Contribution Account, as determined under (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) below. 
  
 (i)    Participants Who Were Employees Before January 1, 1989.    The vested portion of the Matching
Contribution Account of any Participant who was an Employee before January 1, 1989 shall be the difference between 100% of the Matching Contribution Account and the portion of such Account that is attributable to Matching Contributions and
forfeitures allocated with respect to the three Plan Years ended immediately prior to the Plan Year in which the Participant terminates employment. 
  
 (ii)    Participants With At Least One Hour of Service on or after January 1, 1989.    The vested portion of
the Matching Contribution Account of any Participant who has at least one Hour of Service in any Plan Year commencing on or after January 1, 1989 shall be determined based on his Years of Service as follows: 
  
 
	 Years of Service
 
	    	 Vested Percentage
 

	 Less than 5
 	    	 0%
 
	 5 or more
 	    	 100%
 

 
  
 (iii)    Participants to
Whom Both (i) and (ii) Apply. The vested portion of the Matching Contribution Account of any Participant to whom both (i) and (ii) apply shall be the greater of the amount determined under (i) or (ii). 

 
 E-5 








  
 (iv)    Credit Services
Employees.    The vested portion of the Matching Contribution Account of a Credit Services Employee employed as a Credit Services Employee on the date of the Spin-off shall be 100% of such Credit Services Employee’s
Matching Contribution Account. 
  
 (b)    Forfeitures.    Effective March 1, 2001, the non-vested portion of the Matching Contribution Account of a Participant shall be forfeited as of the end of the month in which occurs
such Participant’s Termination of Employment; provided that the non-vested portion of the Matching Contribution Account of any Participant whose Termination of Employment is prior to March 1, 2001 shall be forfeited as of the last day of
the Plan Year in which such Participant terminates employment except that the non-vested portion of the Matching Contribution Account of any Participant who was an Employee before January 1, 1989 but did not have at least one Hour of Service on or
after January 1, 1989 shall be forfeited in accordance with the rules applicable under the Plan immediately prior thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Participant who terminates employment shall subsequently be credited with one Year of
Service before incurring five consecutive One Year Breaks, the amount so forfeited shall be restored to such Participant’s Matching Contribution Account without adjustment for income, gains or losses; provided that such restoration shall be
made from forfeitures arising in the Plan Year in which the restoration occurs and, to the extent necessary, from a special Company contribution which shall be made for that purpose. The foregoing forfeiture provisions shall only apply to the extent
permitted by applicable law. 
  
 (c)    Payee’s Location Not
Ascertainable for 60 Months.    In the event any Plan Benefit has been due and payable under the Plan for a period of more than 60 months and cannot be paid because the location of the payee cannot be ascertained, the entire
amount of such Plan Benefit shall be forfeited; provided, that in the event the location of such payee is ascertained, the Plan Benefit forfeited shall be restored, without adjustments for income, gains or losses and shall be paid to such payee in a
single lump sum payment; and provided, that such restoration shall be made out of forfeitures arising in the Plan Year in which the restoration occurs and, to the extent necessary, out of a special Company contribution which shall be made for that
purpose.

transition rules: such Employees’ deferral elections under the MSDW Online Plan on April 30, 2000, shall be given effect under the START Plan on and after May 1, 2000, subject to the provisions of Section 5(c) of the START Plan; the vested
portion of each such Employee’s Matching Contribution Account shall be determined solely in accordance with the otherwise applicable provisions of the START Plan, taking into account his or her service rendered to MSDW Online prior to May 1,
2000 to the extent provided above; for purposes of determining the amount of Matching Contributions and forfeitures, if any, to be allocated to such Employees for the Plan Year ending December 31, 2000, such Employee’s elective deferrals to the

 In addition, for purposes of determining the amount of Matching

Business Segment. 
  
 Effective as of the end of February 28, 2001, contingent on the receipt of a favorable
determination from the Internal Revenue Service, the MSDW Online Plan shall be merged with and into the START Plan. Prior to such merger on February 28, 2001, the contributions, benefits, and other rights of Participants who were participants in the
MSDW Online Plan are determined under the terms of the MSDW Online Plan as in effect prior to its merger into the Plan. Any person who was covered under the MSDW Online Plan prior to its merger into the START Plan and who was entitled to benefits
under the provisions of such plans as in effect on 

 
 F-1 








 
February 28, 2001 shall continue to be entitled to the same amount of accrued benefits without change under the START Plan; provided, however, that the forms of distribution (including for
these purposes the time, manner and medium of distribution) available with respect to such accrued benefits shall be the forms of distribution available under the otherwise applicable provisions of the START Plan plus such forms of distribution as

 MORGAN STANLEY DPSP/START PLAN 
 SUPPLEMENT G 
  
 TERMINATION OF MATCHING CONTRIBUTIONS UNDER START
PLAN 
 AND TRANSFER OF ACCOUNTS 
  
  
 The following provisions applied under the START Plan prior to the Plan Merger and shall continue to apply under this Plan following the Plan Merger.
Capitalized terms have the meanings given to such terms under the START Plan prior to the Plan Merger, and section references refer to the provisions of the START Plan prior to the Plan Merger. 
  

1.    Termination of Contributions.    Notwithstanding anything in the START Plan to the contrary, for
Plan Years beginning on or after January 1, 2001, no Matching Contributions or any other Company Contributions provided for in Section 4 of the START Plan shall be made by Participating Companies to the Trust Fund, provided that Participating
Companies may, in their sole and absolute discretion, make Qualified Non-Elective or Qualified Matching Contributions for any such Plan Year. It is the intent of this Supplement that the benefits formerly delivered as matching contributions under
the START Plan shall be delivered, effective January 1, 2001 under the Morgan Stanley Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the “ESOP”) in accordance with the ESOP’s terms, without material modification of the Plan’s rules relating to
participation, vesting and amount of benefits, and the provisions of this Supplement shall be interpreted accordingly. 
  
 2.    Transfer of Accounts.    As of such date as may be determined by the Plan Administrator under the START Plan, which shall not be later than December 31, 2001 (the
“Transfer Date”), all assets and liabilities relating to each Participant’s Matching Contribution Account (including in relation to any loan pursuant to Section 12 of the START Plan charged against any Matching Contribution Account)
shall be transferred to the ESOP, provided, however, that any portion of an individual’s Matching Contribution Account that the individual has elected to diversify pursuant to Section 6(d) of the START Plan prior to the Transfer Date
shall not be transferred to the ESOP. Participants’ interests in the transferred amounts shall not vest on an accelerated basis as a result of such transfers, but shall continue to vest at the applicable rate specified in the ESOP, which shall
be at least as rapid as the basis specified under Section 10 of the START Plan. On and after the date on which an amount is transferred to the ESOP, a Participant shall have no right to benefits under the START Plan with respect to the amount so
transferred, and all rights with respect to such amount shall be enforceable only against the ESOP. 
  
 3.    Plan Participation not Affected.    Participation in the ESOP shall not affect an Employee’s eligibility to participate in the START Plan. 

 
 G-1 








  
 4.    ESOP Diversification
Transfers.    To the extent permitted by the ESOP, an ESOP participant may elect to transfer to the Trust Fund an ESOP Diversification Transfer (as defined below). Any such ESOP Diversification Transfer shall be credited to
an Account of such Participant and shall be treated in the same manner as any other Account established under the START Plan. Such funds so transferred shall be allocated to one or more of the Investment Funds in accordance with Section 6(a) of the
START Plan. For purposes of this paragraph, an “ESOP Diversification Transfer” means amounts transferred to the START Plan from the ESOP in accordance with the diversification provisions set forth in Section 7.04 of the ESOP.

 MORGAN STANLEY DPSP/START PLAN 
 SUPPLEMENT H 
  
 JANUARY 1, 2002 ESOP DESIGNATION UNDER START
PLAN 
  
  
 The following provisions applied under the START Plan for
certain periods prior to the Plan Merger. Capitalized terms have the meanings given to such terms under the START Plan prior to the Plan Merger, and section references refer to the provisions of the START Plan prior to the Plan Merger. 

 
 1.    Effective by the end of the 2001 Plan Year, the program of matching contributions previously
maintained under the START Plan was transferred from the START Plan to the Morgan Stanley Dean Witter & Co. and Subsidiaries Employee Stock Ownership Plan. Under the remaining components of the START Plan, Participants can direct that the
remaining assets in their Employee Accounts be invested in various investment funds, including the Morgan Stanley Dean Witter Stock Fund (the “MSDW Stock Fund”). 
  
 2.    Effective January 1, 2002, the MSDW Stock Fund previously maintained under the START Plan is designated as an employee stock ownership plan
(“ESOP”) component of the START Plan (the “ESOP”), as provided in Code section 4975(e)(7) and Treas. Reg. section 54.4975-11(a)(2) (such fund to be referred to as the “MSDW Stock Fund ESOP”). Effective January 1, 2002,
there is hereby created a “Non-ESOP MSDW Stock Fund,” which shall not be an ESOP and which shall form a part of the non-ESOP components of the START Plan. 
  
         Effective June 25, 2002, the MSDW Stock Fund ESOP under the START Plan shall be transferred to and merged with the Morgan
Stanley Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the “MS ESOP”). All assets and liabilities relating to the MSDW Stock Fund ESOP shall be transferred to the MS ESOP, and each Participant Account under the MSDW Stock Fund ESOP shall be transferred to
an account established for such Participant under the MS ESOP. Following such transfer, the transferred amounts shall be subject to the provisions of the MS ESOP and the provisions of this Supplement shall cease to have effect. The provisions of
this Supplement therefore will apply under the START Plan only during the period beginning on January 1, 2002 and ending immediately prior to such transfer on June 25, 2002. 
  
 3.    The MSDW Stock Fund ESOP is designed to invest primarily in qualifying employer securities and is intended to meet other applicable requirements
for an ESOP. 
  
 4.    The MSDW Stock Fund ESOP forms a portion of the START Plan, as permitted
by Treas. Reg. section 54.4975-11(a)(5). Except as provided in this Supplement, the ESOP shall be governed by the terms of the START Plan, including but not limited to Section 14 (Fiduciary Responsibilities and Plan Administration) and Section 19(d)
(exclusive purpose of Trust Fund is to provide benefits to Participants and Beneficiaries). In connection with the creation of the MSDW Stock Fund ESOP, the Trust Agreement which established the Trust Fund under the 

 
 H-1 








 
START Plan has been amended to include special rules relating to the holding of the MSDW Stock Fund ESOP’s assets in trust. 
  
 5.    No Pre-Tax Contributions or employee contributions (or Rollover Contributions) may be made to the MSDW Stock Fund ESOP. The Company may, in the
sole discretion of its Board of Directors, make discretionary contributions to the MSDW Stock Fund ESOP for any Plan Year after 2001, to be allocated in proportion to the Earnings for that Plan Year of Participants employed on the last day of the
Plan Year (subject to the START Plan’s applicable limitations on contributions and allocations) or who terminated employment during the year due to death, Retirement, Total and Permanent Disability or Release. 
  
 6.    All Pre-Tax Contributions and employee contributions directed by a Participant to be invested in the MSDW Stock
Fund shall first be credited to such Participant’s Employee Account in the Non-ESOP MSDW Stock Fund (that is, credited to his Account in the non-ESOP portion of the START Plan) and shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, be transferred to the
MSDW Stock Fund ESOP and allocated to an account established for the Participant in the MSDW Stock Fund ESOP (“MSDW Stock Fund ESOP Account”). 
  
 7.    Each Participant and Beneficiary shall be entitled to direct the START Plan as to the manner in which voting rights and tender offer rights of Company Stock allocated to
his/her MSDW Stock Fund ESOP Account are to be exercised, in accordance with the provisions of the Trust Agreement (other than the provisions of this Supplement). 
  
 8.    The MSDW Stock Fund ESOP shall be invested in accordance with the present investment objectives of the MSDW Stock Fund. 
  
 9.    With respect to distributions of benefits from the MSDW Stock Fund ESOP: 
  
 (a)    The time, form and method of distribution shall be the same as provided under the START Plan.

a Participant to elect a form of distribution more rapid than that provided in Code section 409(o)(1)(C).

Account shall be transferred to and distributed from the Participant’s MSDW Stock Fund ESOP Account.)

 (c)    If Company Stock is no longer readily tradable on an established market,
Participants shall have the right to require that the Company repurchase distributed Company Stock under a fair valuation formula. 
  
 10.    A Participant may direct that all or a part of such Participant’s MSDW Stock Fund ESOP Account be transferred to an Investment Fund in the non-ESOP portion of the START Plan. Such transfer
shall be made on a basis consistent with the procedures established by the Plan Administrator from time to time for this purpose and in any event as necessary to satisfy the requirements of Code section 401(a)(28). 
  
 11.    (a)    With respect to dividends paid on Company Stock attributable to a Participant’s
or Beneficiary’s MSDW Stock Fund ESOP Account, such Participant or Beneficiary may elect, at such time and in accordance with such procedures at the Committee may provide, to have such dividends: 
  
 (i)    paid to the START Plan and distributed in cash to the Participant or Beneficiary at such time
as the Committee may provide, but not later than 90 days after the close of the Plan Year of the dividend payments, or 
  
 (ii)    paid to the START Plan and reinvested in Company Stock, and 
  
 (iii)    if the Committee shall so provide in an nondiscriminatory manner, payable in cash to the Participant or Beneficiary. 
  
 (b)    Any dividends received by the Trustee with respect to shares of Company Stock held in the ESOP shall be reinvested in the MSDW
Stock Fund ESOP (that is, such dividends shall be reinvested in Company Stock). If a Participant or Beneficiary makes an election pursuant to paragraph 11(a)(i) (that is, an election to have the dividends paid to the START Plan and then
distributed), the amount distributed shall be the lesser of (i) the original amount of the dividends attributable to that Participant or Beneficiary, and (ii) the amount of such dividends adjusted for the MSDW Stock Fund ESOP’s investment
experience. 
  
 (c)    If a Participant or Beneficiary shall fail to make a
timely election, he shall be deemed to have elected to reinvest the dividends pursuant to paragraph 11(a)(ii).

 12.    Notwithstanding any other provision of the START Plan or related Trust Fund, the MSDW Stock Fund ESOP may be amended from time to time to include
retroactive amendments so as to modify distribution options in a non-discriminatory manner to the fullest extent permitted by Code section 411(d)(6).

 MORGAN STANLEY DPSP/START PLAN 
 SUPPLEMENT I 
  
 JANUARY 1, 2002 ESOP DESIGNATION UNDER DPSP

  
  
 The following provisions applied under the DPSP for certain periods prior
to the Plan Merger. Capitalized terms have the meanings given to such terms under the DPSP prior to the Plan Merger, and section references refer to the provisions of the DPSP prior to the Plan Merger. 
  
 1.    Effective January 1, 2002, the Morgan Stanley Stock Fund previously maintained under the DPSP (the “MS
Stock Fund”) is designated as an employee stock ownership plan (“ESOP”) component of the DPSP, as provided in Code section 4975(e)(7) and Treas. Reg. section 54.4975-11(a)(2) (such fund to be referred to as the “MS Stock Fund
ESOP”). Effective January 1, 2002, there is hereby created a “Non-ESOP MS Stock Fund,” which shall not be an ESOP and which shall form a part of the non-ESOP components of the DPSP. 
  
 Effective June 25, 2002, the MS Stock Fund ESOP under the DPSP shall be transferred to and merged with the Morgan Stanley Employee Stock
Ownership Plan (the “MS ESOP”). All assets and liabilities relating to the MS Stock Fund ESOP shall be transferred to the MS ESOP, and each Participant Account under the MS Stock Fund ESOP shall be transferred to an account established for
such Participant under the MS ESOP. Following such transfer, the transferred amounts shall be subject to the provisions of the MS ESOP and the provisions of this Supplement shall cease to have effect. The provisions of this Supplement therefore will
apply under the DPSP only during the period beginning on January 1, 2002 and ending immediately prior to such transfer on June 25, 2002. 
  
 2.    The MS Stock Fund ESOP is designed to invest primarily in qualifying employer securities and is intended to meet other applicable requirements for an ESOP. 
  
 3.    The MS Stock Fund ESOP forms a portion of the DPSP, as permitted by Treas. Reg. section 54.4975-11(a)(5). Except
as provided in this Supplement, the MS Stock Fund ESOP shall be governed by the terms of the DPSP, including but not limited to Article 11 (Plan Administration) and Section 13.8(d) (exclusive purpose of Trust Fund is to provide benefits to
Participants and Beneficiaries). In connection with the creation of the MS Stock Fund ESOP, the Trust Agreement which established the Trust Fund under the DPSP has been amended to include special rules relating to the holding of the MS Stock Fund
ESOP’s assets in trust. 
  
 4.    No Pre-Tax Deferral Contributions or employee
contributions (or Rollover Contributions) may be made to the MS Stock Fund ESOP. The Corporation may, in the sole discretion of its Board of Directors, make discretionary Firm Contributions to the MS Stock Fund ESOP for any Plan Year after 2001, to
be allocated in proportion to the Compensation for that Plan Year of Participants employed on the last day of the Plan Year (subject to the DPSP’s applicable limitations on contributions and allocations) or who terminated employment during the
year due to death or retirement or who was on Authorized Absence on the last day of the Plan Year. 

 
 I-1 








  
 5.    Effective January 1, 2002, all Pre-Tax Deferral
Contributions, Firm Contributions (unless otherwise provided by the Committee) and employee contributions directed by a Participant to be invested in the MS Stock Fund shall first be credited to such Participant’s Account in the Non-ESOP MS
Stock Fund (that is, credited to his Account in the non-ESOP portion of the DPSP) and shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, be transferred to the MS Stock Fund ESOP and allocated to an account established for the Participant in the MS Stock Fund
ESOP (“MS Stock Fund ESOP Account”). 
  
 6.    Each Participant and Beneficiary shall
be entitled to direct the DPSP as to the manner in which voting rights and tender offer rights of Morgan Stanley Stock allocated to his/her MS Stock Fund ESOP Account are to be exercised in accordance with the provisions of the DPSP (other than the
provisions of this Supplement). 
  
 7.    The MS Stock Fund ESOP shall be invested in accordance
with the present investment objectives of the MS Stock Fund. 
  
 8.    With respect to
distributions of benefits from the MS Stock Fund ESOP: 
  
 (a)    The time, form
and method of distribution shall be the same as provided under the DPSP. (No special rules limit the commencement and duration of MS Stock Fund ESOP Account distributions because the DPSP already (i) permits commencement of distribution no later
than the dates set out in Code section 409(o)(1)(A) and (ii) permits a Participant to elect a form of distribution more rapid than that provided in Code section 409(o)(1)(C).) 
  
 (b)    A Participant who is entitled to a distribution of his/her DPSP Account shall have the right to demand that his benefits in the
MS Stock Fund ESOP (or transferred from the MS Stock Fund ESOP) be distributed in the form of Morgan Stanley Stock. (In the case of a demand for distribution in the form of Morgan Stanley Stock with respect to DPSP Account assets not in the MS Stock
Fund ESOP, the requested portion of the non-ESOP Account shall be transferred to and distributed from the Participant’s MS Stock Fund ESOP Account.) 
  
 (c)    If Morgan Stanley Stock is no longer readily tradable on an established market, Participants shall have the rights to require
that the Corporation repurchase distributed Morgan Stanley Stock under a fair valuation formula. 
  
 9.    A Participant may direct that all or a part of such Participant’s MS Stock Fund ESOP Account be transferred to an Investment Fund in the non-ESOP portion of the DPSP. Such transfer shall be made on a
basis consistent with the procedures established by the Committee from time to time for this purpose and in any event as necessary to satisfy the requirements of Code section 401(a)(28). 
  
 10.    (a) With respect to dividends paid on Morgan Stanley Stock attributable to a Participant’s or Beneficiary’s MS Stock Fund ESOP Account,
such Participant or Beneficiary 

 
 I-2 








 
may elect, at such time and in accordance with such procedures at the Committee may provide, to have such dividends: 
  
 (i)    paid to the DPSP and distributed in cash to the Participant or Beneficiary at such time as the Committee may provide, but not
later than 90 days after the close of the Plan Year of the dividend payments, or 
  
 (ii)    paid to the DPSP and reinvested in Morgan Stanley Stock, and 
  
 (iii)    if the Committee shall so provide in a nondiscriminatory manner, payable in cash to the Participant or Beneficiary. 
  
 (b)    Any dividends received by the Trustee with respect to shares of Morgan Stanley Stock held in the MS Stock Fund ESOP shall be
reinvested in the MS Stock Fund ESOP (that is, such dividends shall be reinvested in Morgan Stanley Stock). If a Participant or Beneficiary makes an election pursuant to paragraph 10(a)(i) (that is, an election to have the dividends paid to the DPSP
and then distributed), the amount distributed shall be the lesser of (i) the original amount of the dividends attributable to that Participant or Beneficiary, and (ii) the amount of such dividends adjusted for the MS Stock Fund ESOP’s
investment experience. 
  
 (c)    If a Participant or Beneficiary shall fail to
make a timely election, he shall be deemed to have elected to reinvest the dividends pursuant to paragraph 10(a)(ii). 
  
 (d)    The Committee shall have the authority to amend the DPSP so as to make available the option described in clause (iii) of paragraph 10(a). 
  
 11.    Notwithstanding any other provision of the DPSP or related Trust Fund, the MS Stock Fund ESOP may be amended from time to time to include
retroactive amendments so as to modify distribution options in a non-discriminatory manner and to the fullest extent permitted by Code section 411(d)(6). 
  
 12.    This Supplement is a part of the DPSP and, except as otherwise provided herein, shall be construed and administered in accordance with the terms of the DPSP. Capitalized
terms not defined in this Supplement shall have the meanings otherwise provided in the DPSP.
