 MORGAN STANLEY 

[YEAR] 

DISCRETIONARY RETENTION AWARDS 

AWARD CERTIFICATE FOR STOCK UNITS 

Morgan Stanley has awarded you retention stock units as part of your discretionary incentive compensation for services provided during [year]
and as an incentive for you to remain in Employment and provide services to the Firm through the Scheduled Vesting Date(s). This Award Certificate sets forth the general terms and conditions of your [year] stock unit award. The number of stock units
in your award has been communicated to you independently. 
 If you are employed outside the United States, you will also receive an
“International Supplement” that contains supplemental terms and conditions for your [year] stock unit award. You should read this Award Certificate in conjunction with the International Supplement, if applicable, in order to
understand the terms and conditions of your stock unit award. 
 Your stock unit award is made pursuant to the Plan. References to
“stock units” in this Award Certificate mean only those stock units included in your [year] stock unit award, and the terms and conditions herein apply only to such award. If you receive any other award under the Plan or another equity
compensation plan, it will be governed by the terms and conditions of the applicable award documentation, which may be different from those herein. 

The purpose of the stock unit award is, among other things, to align your interests with the interests of the Firm and Morgan Stanley’s
stockholders, to reward you for your continued Employment and service to the Firm in the future and your compliance with the Firm’s policies (including the Code of Conduct), to protect the Firm’s interests in non-public, confidential
and/or proprietary information, products, trade secrets, customer relationships, and other legitimate business interests, and to ensure an orderly transition of responsibilities. In view of these purposes, you will earn [each portion of] your [year]
stock unit award only if you (1) remain in continuous Employment through the [applicable] Scheduled Vesting Date (subject to limited exceptions set forth below), (2) do not engage in any activity that is a cancellation event set forth in
Section 10(c) below and (3) satisfy obligations you owe to the Firm as set forth in Section 12 below. Even if your award has vested, you will have no right to your award if a cancellation event occurs under the circumstances
set forth in Section 10(c) below. As Morgan Stanley deems appropriate, it will require you to provide a written certification or other evidence, from time to time in its sole discretion, to confirm that no cancellation event has occurred,
including upon a termination of Employment and/or during a specified period of time prior to the [applicable] Scheduled Conversion Date. If you fail to timely provide any required certification or other evidence, Morgan Stanley will cancel your
award. It is your responsibility to provide the Executive Compensation Department with your up-to-date contact information.

 Capitalized terms used in this Award Certificate that are not defined in the text have the
meanings set forth in Section 22 below. Capitalized terms used in this Award Certificate that are not defined in the text or in Section 22 below have the meanings set forth in the Plan. 

 

	1.	Stock units generally. 

 Each of your stock units corresponds to one share of
Morgan Stanley common stock. A stock unit constitutes a contingent and unsecured promise of Morgan Stanley to pay you one share of Morgan Stanley common stock on the conversion date for the stock unit. As the holder of stock units, you have only the
rights of a general unsecured creditor of Morgan Stanley. You will not be a stockholder with respect to the shares of Morgan Stanley common stock corresponding to your stock units unless and until your stock units convert to shares. 

 

	2.	Vesting schedule and conversion. 

 (a) Vesting schedule.
Except as otherwise provided in this Award Certificate, your stock units will vest on the Scheduled Vesting Date[(s)].1 Except as otherwise provided in this Award Certificate, your stock units
will vest only if you continue to provide future services to the Firm by remaining in continuous Employment through the [applicable] Scheduled Vesting Date and providing value added services to the Firm during this timeframe. The special vesting
terms set forth in Sections 5, 6, 7 and 8 of this Award Certificate apply (i) if your Employment terminates by reason of your death or Disability, (ii) upon your Full Career Retirement, (iii) if the Firm terminates your employment in
an involuntary termination under the circumstances described in Section 6, (iv) upon a Governmental Service Termination or (v) upon a Qualifying Termination. Vested stock units remain subject to the cancellation and withholding
provisions set forth in this Award Certificate. 
 (b) Conversion. Except as otherwise provided in this Award
Certificate, your stock units will, to the extent vested, convert to shares of Morgan Stanley common stock on the [applicable] Scheduled Conversion Date[(s)]2, with any fractional shares to be
distributed in cash. The special conversion provisions set forth in Sections 5(a), 5(b), 7 and 8 of this Award Certificate apply (i) if your Employment terminates by reason of your death or you die after termination of your Employment,
(ii) upon your Governmental Service Termination or your employment at a Governmental Employer following your termination of employment with the Firm under circumstances set forth in Section 7(b) or (iii) upon a Qualifying Termination.

  

	1 	The vesting schedule and related vesting date(s) presented in this form of Award Certificate are indicative. The vesting schedule and related vesting date(s) applicable to awards may vary. 


	2 	The conversion schedule and related conversion date(s) presented in this form of Award Certificate are indicative. The conversion schedule and related conversion date(s) applicable to awards may vary. 



  
 3 








 The shares delivered upon conversion of stock units pursuant to this Section 2(b) will not
be subject to any transfer restrictions, other than those that may arise under the securities laws, the Firm’s policies or Section 12 below, or to cancellation under the circumstances set forth in Section 10(c).3 
 (c) Accelerated conversion. Morgan Stanley shall have no right to
accelerate the conversion of any of your stock units, except to the extent that such acceleration is not prohibited by Section 409A and would not result in your being required to recognize income for United States federal income tax purposes
before your stock units convert to shares of Morgan Stanley common stock or your incurring additional tax or interest under Section 409A. If any stock units are converted to shares of Morgan Stanley common stock prior to the [applicable]
Scheduled Conversion Date pursuant to this Section 2(c), these shares may not be transferable and may remain subject to applicable vesting, cancellation and withholding provisions, as determined by Morgan Stanley. 

(d) Rule of construction for timing of conversion. Whenever this Award Certificate provides for your stock units
to convert to shares on a Scheduled Conversion Date or upon a different specified event or date, such conversion will be considered to have been timely made, and neither you nor any of your beneficiaries or your estate shall have any claim against
the Firm for damages based on a delay in conversion of your stock units (or delivery of Morgan Stanley shares following conversion) and the Firm shall have no liability to you (or to any of your beneficiaries or your estate) in respect of any such
delay, as long as conversion is made by December 31st of the year in which occurs the [applicable] Scheduled Conversion Date or such other specified event or date or, if later, by the 15th day of the third calendar month following such
specified event or date. Similarly, neither you nor any of your beneficiaries or your estate shall have any claim against the Firm for damages, and the Firm shall have no liability to you (or to any of your beneficiaries or your estate), based on
any acceleration of the conversion of your stock units pursuant to Section 2(c), as applicable. 
  

	3.	Special provision for certain employees. 

 Notwithstanding the other provisions of
this Award Certificate, if Morgan Stanley considers you to be one of its executive officers at the time provided for the conversion of your vested stock units and determines that your compensation may not be fully deductible by virtue of
Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, Morgan Stanley shall delay payment of the nondeductible portion of your compensation, including delaying, to the extent nondeductible, conversion of the stock units, unless the Committee, in its sole
discretion, determines not to delay such conversion. This delay will continue until your Separation from Service or, to the extent permitted under Section 409A, the end of the first earlier taxable year of the Firm as of the last day of which
you are no longer an executive officer (subject to earlier conversion in the event of your death as described below). 
  

	3 	Certain stock unit awards may include transfer restrictions for a specified period following the applicable Scheduled Conversion Date. 


  
 4 









	4.	Dividend equivalent reinvestment. 

 If Morgan Stanley pays a regular or ordinary
dividend on its common stock, a dividend equivalent will be credited with respect to your stock units outstanding on the dividend record date and reinvested in the form of additional stock units. The additional number of stock units credited to you
as a result of this dividend reinvestment shall equal: 
 (i) the cash dividend paid on one share of Morgan Stanley common
stock, multiplied by 
 (ii) the number of stock units subject to your [year] stock unit award on the applicable
dividend record date; with the product of (i) and (ii), divided by 
 (iii) the fair market value of a share of
Morgan Stanley common stock on the dividend payment date, as determined by Morgan Stanley in its sole discretion. 
 Morgan Stanley will
credit the dividend equivalents when it pays the corresponding dividend on its common stock. The additional stock units credited to you as a result of the reinvestment of dividend equivalents will vest and convert at the same time as, and be subject
to the same vesting and cancellation provisions set forth in this Award Certificate with respect to, the corresponding stock units, and references to “stock units” in this Award Certificate shall include such additional stock units
credited to you as a result of the reinvestment of dividend equivalents described in this Section 4. Any fractional stock units resulting from the application of this Section 4 will, to the extent vested, be paid in cash on the
[applicable] Scheduled Conversion Date (or, subject to Section 2(d), on the next administratively practicable payroll date). The decision to pay a dividend and, if so, the amount of any such dividend, is determined by Morgan Stanley in its sole
discretion. No dividend equivalents will be paid to you on any canceled stock units. 
  

	5.	Death, Disability and Full Career Retirement. 

 The following special vesting and
payment terms apply to your stock units: 
 (a) Death during Employment. If your Employment terminates due to death, all
of your unvested stock units will vest on the date of your death. Your stock units will convert to shares of Morgan Stanley common stock and be delivered to the beneficiary you have designated pursuant to Section 14 or the legal representative
of your estate, as applicable, upon your death, provided that your estate or beneficiary notifies the Firm of your death within 60 days following your death. 

After your death, the cancellation provisions set forth in Section 10(c) will no longer apply, and the shares delivered upon conversion
of stock units pursuant to this Section 5(a) will not be subject to any transfer restrictions (other than those that may arise under the securities laws or the Firm’s policies). 

  
 5 








 (b) Death after termination of Employment. If you die after the termination
of your Employment but prior to the [applicable] Scheduled Conversion Date, any vested stock units that you held at the time of your death will convert to shares of Morgan Stanley common stock and be delivered to the beneficiary you have designated
pursuant to Section 14 or the legal representative of your estate, as applicable, upon your death, provided that your estate or beneficiary notifies the Firm of your death within 60 days following your death. 

After your death, the cancellation provisions set forth in Section 10(c) will no longer apply, and the shares delivered upon conversion
of stock units pursuant to this Section 5(b) will not be subject to any transfer restrictions (other than those that may arise under the securities laws or the Firm’s policies). 

(c) Disability [or Full Career Retirement].4 If your Employment
terminates due to Disability [or in a Full Career Retirement], all of your unvested stock units will vest on the date your Employment terminates. Your stock units will convert to shares of Morgan Stanley common stock on the [applicable] Scheduled
Conversion Date. The cancellation and withholding provisions set forth in this Award Certificate will continue to apply until the [applicable] Scheduled Conversion Date. 
  

	6.	Involuntary termination by the Firm. 

 If the Firm terminates your employment
under circumstances not involving any cancellation event set forth in Section 10(c), your unvested stock units will vest on the date your employment with the Firm terminates and your stock units will convert to shares of Morgan Stanley common
stock on the [applicable] Scheduled Conversion Date, provided that you sign an agreement and release satisfactory to the Firm. If you do not sign such an agreement and release satisfactory to the Firm within the timeframe set by the Firm in
connection with your involuntary termination as described in this Section 6, any stock units that were unvested immediately prior to your termination shall be canceled. The cancellation and withholding provisions set forth in this Award
Certificate will continue to apply until the [applicable] Scheduled Conversion Date. 
  

	7.	Governmental Service. 

 (a) General treatment of awards upon
Governmental Service Termination. If your Employment terminates in a Governmental Service Termination and not involving a cancellation event set forth in Section 10(c), then, provided that you sign an agreement
satisfactory to the Firm relating to your obligations pursuant to Section 7(c), all of your unvested stock units will vest on the date of your Governmental Service Termination. Your vested stock units will convert to shares of Morgan Stanley
common stock on the date of your Governmental Service Termination. 
  

	4 	Certain stock unit awards may not include a provision for Full Career Retirement. 


  
 6 








 (b) General treatment of vested awards upon acceptance of employment at a
Governmental Employer following termination of Employment. If your Employment terminates other than in a Governmental Service Termination and not involving a cancellation event set forth in Section 10(c) and, following your termination
of Employment, you accept employment with a Governmental Employer, then, provided that you sign an agreement satisfactory to the Firm relating to your obligations pursuant to Section 7(c), all of your outstanding vested stock units will
convert to shares of Morgan Stanley common stock upon your commencement of such employment, provided you present the Firm with satisfactory evidence demonstrating that as a result of such employment the divestiture of your continued interest
in Morgan Stanley equity awards or continued ownership of Morgan Stanley common stock is reasonably necessary to avoid the violation of U.S. federal, state or local or foreign ethics law or conflicts of interest law applicable to you at such
Governmental Employer. 
 (c) Repayment obligation. If any activity or event constituting a cancellation event set
forth in Section 10(c) occurs within the applicable period of time that would have resulted in cancellation of all or a portion of your stock units had they not converted to shares pursuant to Sections 7(a) or 7(b) above, you will be required
to pay to Morgan Stanley an amount equal to: 
 (1) the number of stock units that would have been canceled upon the
occurrence of such cancellation event multiplied by the fair market value, determined using a valuation methodology established by Morgan Stanley, of Morgan Stanley common stock on the date your stock units converted to shares of Morgan Stanley
common stock; plus 
 (2) interest on the amount described in clause (1) above at the average rate of interest
Morgan Stanley paid to borrow money from financial institutions during the period from the date of such conversion through the date preceding the payment date. 
  

	8.	Qualifying Termination. 

 If your employment terminates in a Qualifying
Termination, all of your unvested stock units will vest, cancellation provisions will lapse, and, subject to Section 9, your stock units will convert to shares of Morgan Stanley common stock upon your Qualifying Termination.5 
  

	9.	Specified employees. 

 Notwithstanding any other terms of this Award Certificate,
if Morgan Stanley considers you to be one of its “specified employees” as defined in Section 409A at the time of your Separation from Service, any conversion of your stock units that otherwise would occur upon your Separation from
Service (including, without limitation, stock units whose conversion was delayed due to Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, as provided in Section 3, and 

 

	5 	Certain stock unit awards may provide for cancellation and withholding provisions and transfer restrictions to apply through the applicable Scheduled Conversion Date. 


  
 7 








 
stock units payable upon your Qualifying Termination, as provided in Section 8) will be delayed until the first business day following the date that is six months after your Separation from
Service; provided, however, that in the event that your death, your Governmental Service Termination or your employment at a Governmental Employer following your termination of employment with the Firm under circumstances set
forth in Section 7(b) occurs at any time after the Date of the Award, conversion and payment will be made in accordance with Section 5(a), 5(b) or 7, as applicable. 
  


	10.	Cancellation of awards under certain circumstances. 

 (a)
Cancellation of unvested awards. Your unvested stock units will be canceled if your Employment terminates for any reason other than death, Disability, [a Full Career Retirement], an involuntary termination by the Firm described in
Section 6, a Governmental Service Termination or a Qualifying Termination. 
 (b) General treatment of vested
awards. Except as otherwise provided in this Award Certificate, your vested stock units will convert to shares of Morgan Stanley common stock on the [applicable] Scheduled Conversion Date. The cancellation and withholding provisions set
forth in this Award Certificate will continue to apply until the [applicable] Scheduled Conversion Date. 
 (c) Cancellation of
awards under certain circumstances.6 The cancellation events set forth in this Section 10(c) are designed, among other things, to incentivize compliance with the Firm’s policies
(including the Code of Conduct), to protect the Firm’s interests in non-public, confidential and/or proprietary information, products, trade secrets, customer relationships, and other legitimate business interests, and to ensure an orderly
transition of responsibilities. This Section 10(c) shall apply notwithstanding any other terms of this Award Certificate (except where sections in this Award Certificate specifically provide that the cancellation events set forth in this
Section 10(c) no longer apply). 
 Your stock units, even if vested, are not earned until the [applicable] Scheduled Conversion Date
(and until you satisfy all obligations you owe to the Firm as set forth in Section 12 below) and, unless prohibited by applicable law, will be canceled prior to the [applicable] Scheduled Conversion Date in any of the circumstances set forth
below in this Section 10(c). Although you will become the beneficial owner of shares underlying your stock units following conversion of your stock units, the Firm may retain custody of your shares following conversion of your stock units
pending any investigation or other review that impacts the determination as to whether the stock units are cancellable under the circumstances set forth below and, in such an instance, the shares underlying such stock units shall be forfeited in the
event the Firm determines that the stock units were cancellable. 
  

	6 	The cancellation provisions presented in Section 10(c) of this form of Award Certificate and any corresponding definitions are indicative. The cancellation provisions and corresponding definitions applicable to
awards may vary. 


  
 8 








 (1) Competitive Activity. If, prior to the [applicable] Scheduled Conversion
Date, you engage in Competitive Activity in connection with or following your resignation of Employment, then all of your outstanding stock units will be cancelled immediately, subject to applicable law. 

(2) Other Events. If any of the following events occur at any time before the [applicable] Scheduled Conversion Date, all
of your outstanding stock units (whether or not vested) will be canceled immediately, subject to applicable law: 
 (i) Your
Employment is terminated for Cause or you engage in conduct constituting Cause (either during or following Employment and whether or not your Employment has been terminated as of the [applicable] Scheduled Conversion Date); 

(ii) Following the termination of your Employment, the Firm determines that your Employment could have been terminated for
Cause [(for these purposes, “Cause” will be determined without giving consideration to any “cure” period included in the definition of “Cause”)]; 

(iii) You disclose Confidential and Proprietary Information to any unauthorized person outside the Firm, or use or attempt to
use Confidential and Proprietary Information other than in connection with the business of the Firm; or you fail to comply with your obligations (either during or after your Employment) under the Firm’s Code of Conduct (and any applicable
supplements) or otherwise existing between you and the Firm, relating to Confidential and Proprietary Information or an assignment, procurement or enforcement of rights in Confidential and Proprietary Information; 

(iv) You engage in a Wrongful Solicitation; 

(v) You make any [Unauthorized Comments] [Unauthorized Disclosures or Defamatory or Disparaging Comments about the Firm]; 

(vi) You fail or refuse, following your termination of Employment, to cooperate with or assist the Firm in a timely manner in
connection with any investigation, regulatory matter, lawsuit or arbitration in which the Firm is a subject, target or party and as to which you may have pertinent information; or 

(vii) You resign from your employment with the Firm without having provided the Firm prior written notice of your resignation
consistent with the notice period requirements undertaken by you in connection with your employment offer letter, Sign-On or Notice & Non-Solicitation Agreement or any other contractual obligation in connection with the terms and conditions
of your employment, or, in the event no such prior contractual notice period requirements exist, you resign from your employment with the Firm without having provided the Firm prior written notice of your resignation of at least thirty
(30) days. 

  
 9 








 (3) Clawback Cancellation Events.  

(i) All of your stock units (whether or not vested) will be canceled in full, or in the case of clause (c) below, in full
or in part, subject to applicable law, if at any time before the [applicable] Scheduled Conversion Date: 
 (a) you take any
action, or you fail to take any action (including with respect to direct supervisory responsibilities), where such action or omission: 
  

	 	(i)	causes a restatement of the Firm’s consolidated financial results; 

  

	 	(ii)	constitutes a violation by you of the Firm’s Global Risk Management Principles, Policies and Standards (where prior authorization and approval of appropriate senior management was not obtained) whether such action
results in a favorable or unfavorable impact to the Firm’s consolidated financial results; or 

  

	 	(iii)	causes a loss in the current year on a trade or transaction originating in the current year or in any prior year for which revenue was recognized and which was a factor in your award determination, and violated internal
control policies that resulted from your: 

  

	 	(A)	violation of business unit, product or desk specific risk parameters; 

  

	 	(B)	use of an incorrect valuation model, method, or inputs for transactions subject to the “STAR” approval process; 

  

	 	(C)	failure to perform appropriate due diligence prior to a trade or transaction or failure to provide critical information known at the time of the transaction that might negatively affect the valuation of the transaction;
or 

  

	 	(D)	failure to timely monitor or escalate to management a loss position pursuant to applicable policies and procedures; or 


  
 10 








 (b) [The Firm and/or relevant business unit suffers a material downturn in its
financial performance or the Firm and/or relevant business unit suffers a material failure of risk management.] 
 In the event that the Firm
determines, in its sole discretion, that your action or omission is as described in clause (c) and you do not engage in any other cancellation or clawback event described in this Section 10(c), the number of stock units comprising your
[year] stock unit award will be reduced by a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount of the pre-tax loss, and the denominator of which is the total revenue originally recognized by the Firm which was a factor in your award determination. 

(ii) [With respect to members of the Firm Operating Committee as of [the December 31st preceding the Date of Award], the Committee may cancel all of your stock units (whether or not vested), in full or in part, if the Committee determines, in its sole discretion, that at any time
before the [applicable] Scheduled Conversion Date you had significant responsibility for a material adverse outcome for the Firm or any of its businesses or functions. The Committee shall have the sole authority to interpret this provision and its
determinations shall be final and binding on all persons.] 
 (4) [Clawback for Code Staff. If you are designated by the Firm
as Code Staff for [year], any shares or amounts distributed in respect of your award are subject to repayment, recovery and recapture pursuant to the Morgan Stanley Code Staff Clawback Policy, as amended from time to time, and any applicable
clawback, repayment, recoupment or recovery requirements imposed under applicable laws, rules and regulations.] 
  

	11.	Tax and other withholding obligations. 

 Any vesting, whether on a Scheduled
Vesting Date or some other date, of a stock unit award and any conversion of a stock unit award or crediting of dividend equivalents, shall be subject to the Firm’s withholding of all required United States federal, state, local and
foreign income and employment/payroll taxes (including Federal Insurance Contributions Act taxes). You authorize the Firm to withhold such taxes from any payroll or other payment or compensation to you, including by canceling or accelerating payment
of a portion of this award in an amount not to exceed such taxes imposed upon such vesting, conversion or crediting and any additional taxes imposed as a result of such cancellation or acceleration, and to take such other action as the Firm may deem
advisable to enable it and you to satisfy obligations for the payment of withholding taxes and other tax obligations, assessments, or other governmental charges, whether of the United States or any other jurisdiction, relating to the vesting or
conversion of your stock units or the crediting of dividend equivalents. However, the Firm may not deduct or withhold such sum from any payroll or any other payment or compensation (including from your award), except to the extent it is not
prohibited by Section 409A and would not cause you to recognize income for United States federal income tax purposes before your stock units convert to shares of Morgan Stanley common stock or to incur interest or additional tax under
Section 409A. 

  
 11 








 Pursuant to rules and procedures that Morgan Stanley establishes, you may elect to satisfy the
tax or other withholding obligations arising upon conversion of your stock units by having Morgan Stanley withhold shares of Morgan Stanley common stock in an amount sufficient to satisfy the tax or other withholding obligations. Shares
withheld will be valued using the fair market value of Morgan Stanley common stock on the date your stock units convert (or such other appropriate date determined by Morgan Stanley based on local legal, tax or
accounting rules and practices) using a valuation methodology established by Morgan Stanley. In order to comply with applicable accounting standards or the Firm’s policies in effect from time to time, Morgan Stanley may limit the
amount of shares that you may have withheld. 
  

	12.	Obligations you owe to the Firm. 

 As a condition to the earning, conversion or
distribution of your award, the Firm may require you to pay such sum to the Firm as may be necessary to satisfy any obligation that you owe to the Firm. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Award Certificate, your award, even if vested or
converted, is not earned until after such obligations and any tax withholdings or other deductions required by law are satisfied. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Morgan Stanley may not reduce the number of shares to be delivered upon
conversion of your stock units or delay the payment of your award to satisfy obligations that you owe to the Firm except (i) to the extent authorized under Section 11, relating to tax and other withholding obligations or (ii) to the
extent such reduction or delay is not prohibited by Section 409A and would not cause you to recognize income for United States federal income tax purposes before your stock units convert to shares of Morgan Stanley common stock or to incur
additional tax or interest under Section 409A. 
 Morgan Stanley’s determination of any amount that you owe the Firm shall be
conclusive. The fair market value of Morgan Stanley common stock for purposes of the foregoing provisions shall be determined using a valuation methodology established by Morgan Stanley. 

 

	13.	Nontransferability. 

 You may not sell, pledge, hypothecate, assign or otherwise
transfer your award, other than as provided in Section 14 (which allows you to designate a beneficiary or beneficiaries in the event of your death) or by will or the laws of descent and distribution. This prohibition includes any assignment or
other transfer that purports to occur by operation of law or otherwise. During your lifetime, payments relating to your award will be made only to you. 

Your personal representatives, heirs, legatees, beneficiaries, successors and assigns, and those of Morgan Stanley, shall all be bound by, and
shall benefit from, the terms and conditions of your award. 

  
 12 









	14.	Designation of a beneficiary. 

 You may make a written designation of beneficiary
or beneficiaries to receive all or part of your award to be delivered or paid under this Award Certificate in the event of your death. To make a beneficiary designation, you must complete and submit the Beneficiary Designation form on the Executive
Compensation website. 
 Any shares that become deliverable upon your death, and as to which a designation of beneficiary is not in effect,
will be distributed to your estate. 
 If you previously filed a designation of beneficiary form for your equity awards with the Executive
Compensation Department, such form will also apply to all of your equity awards, including this award. You may replace or revoke your beneficiary designation at any time. If there is any question as to the legal right of any beneficiary to receive
shares or payments under this award, Morgan Stanley may determine in its sole discretion to deliver the shares or make the payments in question to your estate. Morgan Stanley’s determination shall be binding and conclusive on all persons and it
will have no further liability to anyone with respect to this award. 
  

	15.	Ownership and possession. 

 (a) Before conversion.
Generally, you will not have any rights as a stockholder in the shares of Morgan Stanley common stock corresponding to your stock units unless and until your stock units convert to shares. 

If Morgan Stanley contributes shares of Morgan Stanley common stock corresponding to your stock units to a grantor trust it has established,
you may be permitted to direct the trustee how to vote the shares in the trust corresponding to your stock units. Voting rights, if any, are governed by the terms of the grantor trust and Morgan Stanley may amend any such voting rights, in its sole
discretion, at any time. Morgan Stanley is under no obligation to contribute shares corresponding to stock units to a trust. If Morgan Stanley elects not to contribute shares corresponding to your stock units to a trust, you will not have voting
rights with respect to shares corresponding to your stock units until your stock units convert to shares. 
 (b) Following
conversion. Subject to Section 10(c), following conversion of your stock units you will be the beneficial owner of the shares of Morgan Stanley common stock issued to you, and you will be entitled to all rights of ownership,
including voting rights and the right to receive cash or stock dividends or other distributions paid on the shares. 
 (c)
Custody of shares. Morgan Stanley may maintain possession of the shares subject to your award until such time as your shares are no longer subject to restrictions on transfer. 

 

	16.	Securities law compliance matters. 

 Morgan Stanley may affix a legend to any
stock certificates representing shares of Morgan Stanley common stock issued upon conversion of your stock units (and any stock certificates that may subsequently be issued in substitution for the original certificates). The legend will read
substantially as follows:
