| **General:** | The notes are medium-term notes issued by Morgan Stanley and MSFL. MSFL's payment obligations on notes issued by it will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Morgan Stanley. The notes will rank equally in right of payment with all other unsubordinated and unsecured obligations of MSFL from time to time outstanding, except obligations that are subject to any priorities or preferences by law. The guarantee of the notes will rank equally in right of payment with all other unsubordinated and unsecured obligations of Morgan Stanley, except obligations that are subject to any priorities or preferences by law, and senior in right of payment to its subordinated obligations. **Any payments due on the notes, including any repayment of principal, are subject to our credit risk. If we default on our obligations under the notes, you could lose some or all of your investment.**<br>Unlike ordinary debt securities, the notes do not guarantee any return of principal at maturity. Instead, the notes provide for a payment at maturity that may be greater than, equal to or less than the issue price of the notes, depending on the performance of a Market Measure, as specified in the applicable term sheet. We may issue notes in which the payment(s) increase if the value of the Market Measure increases ("**Bullish Notes**") or we may issue notes in which the payment(s) increase if the value of the Market Measure decreases ("**Bearish Notes**").<br>Each issue of the notes will mature on the date set forth in the applicable term sheet. The notes may or may not pay coupons on either a contingent or fixed basis. The notes may or may not be callable or subject to early redemption prior to maturity.<br>|
| **Market Measure:** | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The Market Measure may consist of one or more of the following:<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· U.S. broad-based Indices;<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· U.S. sector or style-based Indices;<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· non-U.S. or global Indices;<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Underlying Funds;<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· the Underlying Stock of a company other than us, the agents or our respective affiliates (the "**Underlying Company**") represented either by a class of common equity securities registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "**Exchange Act**"), or by ADRs. ADRs are securities issued through depositary arrangements and registered under the Exchange Act that represent non-U.S. equity securities. If an Underlying Stock is an ADR, references to the "Underlying Company" of that Underlying Stock refer to the issuer of the shares underlying the ADR; or<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· any combination of the above.<br>The Market Measure may consist of a group, or "**Basket**," of the foregoing. We refer to each Index, Underlying Fund or Underlying Stock included in any Basket as a "**Basket Component**." If the Market Measure to which your notes are linked is a<br>|

|  | Basket, the Basket Components will be set forth in the applicable term sheet.<br>The Market Measure may also consist of the "**Worst-Performing**" (to be defined in the applicable term sheet) of two or more of any of the following types of components: Indices, Underlying Funds, Underlying Stocks and Baskets (the "**Worst-Performing Market Measure**"). If your notes are linked to the Worst-Performing Market Measure, references in this product supplement to "Market Measure" should be read as references to the applicable Worst-Performing Market Measure.<br>The Market Measure may also consist of the "**Best-Performing**" (to be defined in the applicable term sheet) of two or more of any of the following types of components: Indices, Underlying Funds, Underlying Stocks and Baskets (the "**Best-Performing Market Measure**"). If your notes are linked to the Best-Performing Market Measure, references in this product supplement to "Market Measure" should be read as references to the applicable Best-Performing Market Measure.<br>In this product supplement we refer to any Index, Underlying Fund, Underlying Stock or Basket which comprises the Market Measure in Worst-Performing or Best-Performing notes and any Basket Component as an "Underlying" and collectively as the "Underlyings".<br>|
| **Payment(s) on the Notes:** | The amount payable at maturity, or the "**Redemption Amount**," may be determined according to one or more "**calculation days**" occurring shortly before the maturity date of the notes (such period, the "**Maturity Valuation Period**"). We may also issue notes in which coupon payments, the Redemption Amount or payment in connection with redemption of the notes is determined according to one or more "**Observation Dates**" occurring during the term of the notes. The applicable term sheet will specify the calculation day(s) and Observation Date(s), as applicable. The calculation day(s) and Observation Date(s) will be subject to postponement due to non-Market Measure Business Days and Market Disruption Events. See "Description of the Notes—Events Relating to Observation Dates" and "Description of the Notes—Events Relating to Calculation Days." If so specified in the applicable term sheet, we may use a different term to refer to calculation days or Observation Dates.<br>The applicable term sheet will specify the maturity date and any other date on which amounts will or may be payable on the notes (each such date, a "**payment date**") and will set forth the manner in which payment(s) on the notes, including any coupon payment(s) or any payment at maturity or upon early redemption, will be determined. Each payment date is subject to postponement as described under "Description of the Notes—Events Relating to Observation Dates" and "Description of the Notes—Events Relating to Calculation Days."<br>|
| **Principal at Risk:** | Depending on the terms of the notes, there may be no minimum return of principal at maturity and you may lose all or a significant portion of your principal amount. Further, if you are able to sell your notes prior to maturity or early redemption, the price you may receive may be less than the price that you paid for your notes.<br>|
| **Calculation Agent:** | Unless otherwise set forth in the applicable term sheet, Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC ("MS & Co."), one of our affiliates, will act as calculation agent for the notes. As calculation agent, MS & Co. will determine any values of a Market Measure and make any other determinations necessary to calculate any payments on the notes. In making these determinations, the calculation agent may be required to exercise |

| **Selling Agent:** | MS & Co. will act as our selling agent in connection with each offering of the notes and will receive an underwriting discount based on the number of units of the notes sold. The selling agent is not your fiduciary or advisor solely as a result of the making of any offering of the notes, and you should not rely upon this product supplement, the applicable term sheet, or the accompanying prospectus as investment advice or a recommendation to purchase the notes. See "Plan of Distribution; Conflicts of Interest."<br>|

This product supplement relates only to the notes and does not relate to any Index, Underlying Fund or Underlying Stock that comprises the Market Measure described in any applicable term sheet. You should read carefully the entire prospectus, any applicable index supplement and this product supplement, along with the applicable term sheet, to understand fully the terms of your notes, as well as the tax and other considerations important to you in making a decision about whether to invest in any notes. In particular, you should review carefully the section in this product supplement entitled "Risk Factors," which highlights the material risks of an investment in the notes, to determine whether an investment in the notes is appropriate for you. Additional risk factors may be set forth in the applicable term sheet. If information in this product supplement is inconsistent with the accompanying prospectus or any applicable index supplement, this product supplement will supersede those documents. However, if information in any term sheet is inconsistent with this product supplement, that term sheet will supersede this product supplement.

Neither we nor the selling agent or any dealer participating in the offering is making an offer to sell the notes in any jurisdiction where the offer or sale is not permitted.

Certain terms used and not defined in this product supplement have the meanings ascribed to them in the accompanying prospectus. Unless otherwise indicated, all references in this product supplement to "we," "us," "our" or similar references are to Morgan Stanley or MSFL, or Morgan Stanley and MSFL collectively, as the context requires.

You should consult with your investment, legal, tax, accounting and other advisers with regard to any proposed or actual investment in the notes.

**Estimated Value and Secondary Market Prices of the Notes**

*Our Estimated Value of the Notes*

Unless otherwise specified in the applicable term sheet, the original issue price for each offering of notes will include costs associated with issuing, selling, structuring and hedging the notes, which will be borne by you, and, consequently, the estimated value of the notes on the pricing date will be less than the original issue price. Our estimate of the value of the notes as determined on the pricing date will be set forth on the cover of the applicable term sheet.

*Determining the Estimated Value of the Notes*

Unless otherwise specified in the applicable term sheet, in valuing the notes on the pricing date, we will take into account that the notes comprise both a debt component and a performance-based component linked to the Market Measure. The estimated value of the notes will be determined using our own pricing and valuation models, market inputs and assumptions relating to the Market Measure, instruments based on the Market Measure (or its component securities), volatility and other factors including current and expected interest rates, as well as an interest rate related to our secondary market credit spread, which is the implied interest rate at which our conventional fixed rate debt trades in the secondary market.

*Determining the Economic Terms of the Notes*

Unless otherwise specified in the applicable term sheet, in determining the economic terms for each offering of notes, we will use an internal funding rate, which is likely to be lower than our secondary market credit spreads and therefore advantageous to us. If the issuing, selling, structuring and hedging costs borne by you were lower or if the internal funding rate were higher, one or more of the economic terms for such offering of notes would be more favorable to you.

*The Relationship Between the Estimated Value on the Pricing Date and the Secondary Market Price of the Notes*

The price at which MS & Co. purchases the notes in the secondary market, absent changes in market conditions, including those related to the Market Measure, may vary from, and be lower than, the estimated value on the pricing date, because the secondary market price takes into account our secondary market credit spread as well as the bid-offer spread that MS & Co. would charge in a secondary market transaction of this type and other factors. However, unless otherwise specified in the applicable term sheet, because the costs associated with issuing, selling, structuring and hedging the notes will not be fully deducted upon issuance, for a predetermined period of time following the original issue date (to be specified in the applicable term sheet), to the extent that MS & Co. may buy or sell the notes in the secondary market, absent changes in market conditions, including those related to the Market Measure, and to our secondary market credit spreads, it would do so based on values higher than the estimated value. We expect that those higher values will also be reflected in your brokerage account statements.

MS & Co. may, but is not obligated to, make a market in the notes, and, if it once chooses to make a market, may cease doing so at any time.

For additional information on the estimated value and the secondary market prices of the notes, see "Risk Factors— The rate we are willing to pay for notes of this type, maturity and issuance size is likely to be lower than the rate implied by our secondary market credit spreads and advantageous to us. Both the lower rate and the inclusion of costs associated with issuing, selling, structuring and hedging the notes in the original issue price reduce the economic terms

of the notes, cause the estimated value of the notes to be less than the original issue price and will adversely affect secondary market prices" and "—The estimated value of the notes, as set forth in the applicable term sheet, will be determined by reference to our pricing and valuation models, which may differ from those of other dealers, and will not represent a maximum or minimum secondary market price" below.

**RISK FACTORS**

*Your investment in the notes is subject to investment risks, many of which differ from those of a conventional debt security. Your decision to purchase the notes should be made only after carefully considering the risks, including those discussed below, together with the risk information contained in the applicable term sheet, any applicable index supplement and the accompanying prospectus, in light of your particular circumstances. The risk factors set forth below describe the material risks associated with an investment in the notes. The notes are not an appropriate investment for you if you are not knowledgeable about the material terms of the notes or investments in equity or equity-based securities in general. We also urge you to consult your investment, legal, tax, accounting and other advisers in connection with your investment in the notes.*

**<u>Structure-related Risks</u>**

**Your investment may result in a loss; there may be no minimum return of principal.** Unlike ordinary debt securities, the notes may not pay a fixed amount of principal at maturity. The return on the notes will be based on the performance of the Market Measure and other terms of the notes, as described in the applicable term sheet. You may lose all or a significant portion of your investment at maturity if the value of the Market Measure decreases over the term of the notes (or in the case of Bearish Notes, increases). You should read the applicable term sheet to determine the extent to which your investment in the notes may result in the loss of your investment due to changes in the value of a Market Measure.

**The payment(s) on the notes may be limited to a maximum return and may be less than a comparable investment directly in the Market Measure or any of its underlying assets.** If so specified in the applicable term sheet, the notes may have a fixed maximum return, regardless of the performance of the Market Measure. In such a case, your return on the notes may be less than the return that you could have realized if you invested directly in the Market Measure (or any securities, commodities or other assets represented by the Market Measure), and you will not receive the full benefit of any appreciation (or in the case of Bearish Notes, decreases) in the value of the Market Measure beyond that maximum return.

In addition, unless otherwise set forth in the applicable term sheet, the value of the Market Measure as of any date will not reflect the value of dividends paid, or distributions made, on the Market Measure or any of its underlying assets, or any other rights associated with the Market Measure or those underlying assets. Thus, any return on the notes will not reflect the return you would realize if you actually owned the Market Measure or any of its underlying assets.

Additionally, the Market Measure may consist of an Index or Underlying Fund that includes components traded in a non-U.S. currency that, for purposes of calculating the level of such Index or Underlying Fund, are not converted into U.S. dollars. If the value of that currency strengthens against the U.S. dollar during the term of your notes, you may not obtain the benefit of that increase, which you would have received if you had owned shares or units of the Market Measure or those components, as applicable.

**You may not receive any coupons on the notes and any return on the notes may be less than the yield on a conventional debt security of comparable maturity.** If so specified in the applicable term sheet, your notes may not pay coupons. If your notes are coupon bearing, they may only pay contingent coupons or pay coupons at a rate that is less than the rate we would pay on a conventional debt security of comparable maturity. Any return that you receive on the notes may be less than the return you would earn if you purchased a conventional debt security with the same maturity date. To the extent that coupon

payments on the notes are contingent upon the performance of a Market Measure, the greater the expected volatility of the Market Measure at the time the terms of your notes are set, the greater the expectation is at that time that you may not receive the contingent coupon payments. As a result, your investment in the notes may not reflect the full opportunity cost to you when you consider factors, such as inflation, that affect the time value of money.

**Your notes may be called prior to maturity.** If so specified in the applicable term sheet, your notes may be called at our option prior to maturity, or may be automatically called upon the occurrence of certain specified events prior to maturity. If the notes are called, the term of the notes will be shortened. In such a case, your ability to receive any coupons over the term of the notes, if applicable, will be limited. No further payment(s) will be made on the notes after they have been called. There is no guarantee that you would be able to reinvest the proceeds from an investment in the notes at a comparable return for a similar level of risk in the event the notes are called prior to maturity.

**Payments on the notes will not reflect changes in the value of the Market Measure other than on the Observation Dates or during the Maturity Valuation Period, as applicable.** Unless otherwise specified in the applicable term sheet, changes in the value of the Market Measure during the term of the notes other than on the Observation Dates or during the Maturity Valuation Period, as applicable, will not be reflected in the determinations as to payments on the notes. To make these determinations, the calculation agent will refer only to the value of the Market Measure on the Observation Dates or the calculation days during the Maturity Valuation Period, as applicable. As a result, even if the value of the Market Measure has increased (or in the case of Bearish Notes, decreased) at certain times during the term of the notes, you may not receive any positive return on the notes or may lose some or all of your investment if the value of the Market Measure subsequently declines (or in the case of Bearish Notes, increases) on the Observation Dates or the calculation days during the Maturity Valuation Period. In addition, if the Maturity Valuation Period for the notes consists of two or more scheduled calculation days, the Redemption Amount may be less than it would have been had the Redemption Amount been calculated based on the value of the Market Measure on any particular calculation day.

**More favorable economic terms are generally associated with a Market Measure with greater expected volatility and therefore can indicate a greater risk of loss.** "Volatility" refers to the frequency and magnitude of changes in the value of the Market Measure. The greater the expected volatility with respect to the Market Measure on the pricing date, the higher the expectation as of the pricing date that the value of the Market Measure could decrease over the term of the notes (or in the case of Bearish Notes, increase), indicating a higher expected risk of loss on the notes. This greater expected risk will generally be reflected in a higher coupon rate than the yield payable on our conventional debt securities with a similar maturity or in more favorable terms than for similar securities linked to the performance of a Market Measure with a lower expected volatility as of the pricing date. You should therefore understand that a relatively higher coupon rate or increased economic terms may indicate an increased risk of loss. The volatility of the Market Measure can change significantly over the term of the notes. The value of the Market Measure for your notes could fall sharply, which could adversely affect the return on the notes.

**If your notes are linked to a Basket, changes in the values of one or more of the Basket Components may be offset by changes in the values of one or more of the other Basket Components.** The Market Measure of your notes may include a Basket. In such a case, changes in the values of one or more of the Basket Components may not correlate with changes in the values of one or more of the other Basket Components. The values of one or more Basket Components may increase, while the values of one or more of the other Basket Components may decrease or not increase as much. Therefore, in calculating the value of the

Basket at any time, increases in the value of one Basket Component may be moderated or wholly offset by decreases or lesser increases in the values of one or more of the other Basket Components. If the weightings of the applicable Basket Components are not equal, adverse changes in the values of the Basket Components that are more heavily weighted could have a greater impact upon the value of the Basket and, consequently, the return on your notes. In each case, the reverse is true as to Bearish Notes.

**If your notes are linked to the Worst-Performing of two or more Indices, Underlying Funds, Underlying Stocks or Baskets, the notes will be subject to the risks of each Index, Underlying Fund, Underlying Stock or Basket, not a basket composed of the foregoing, and will be negatively affected if the value of any Index, Underlying Fund, Underlying Stock or Basket decreases, even if the value of any other Index, Underlying Fund, Underlying Stock or Basket does not.** If your notes are linked to the Worst-Performing of two or more Indices, Underlying Funds, Underlying Stocks or Baskets (the "**Worst-Performing Notes**"), you will be subject to the risks associated with each Index, Underlying Fund, Underlying Stock or Basket. Worst-Performing Notes will not be linked to an overall basket composed of the Indices, Underlying Funds, Underlying Stocks or Baskets, where the depreciation in the value of one Index, Underlying Fund, Underlying Stock or Basket could be offset to some extent by the appreciation in the value of another Index, Underlying Fund, Underlying Stock or Basket. In this case, the individual performance of each Index, Underlying Fund, Underlying Stock or Basket would not be combined, and the depreciation in the value of one Index, Underlying Fund, Underlying Stock or Basket would not be offset by any appreciation in the value of another Index, Underlying Fund, Underlying Stock or Basket. For example, you could lose some or all of your investment in the notes if the value of one Index, Underlying Fund, Underlying Stock or Basket has declined over the term of the notes, even if the value of each other Index, Underlying Fund, Underlying Stock or Basket has increased over the term of the Notes. The same analysis is true with respect to all determinations to be made for the Worst-Performing Notes. In each case, the reverse may be true as to Bearish Notes.

**If your notes are Worst-Performing Notes, you will not benefit in any way from the performance of a better performing Index, Underlying Fund, Underlying Stock or Basket.** If your notes are Worst-Performing Notes, the return on the notes will depend solely on the performance of the Worst-Performing Index, Underlying Fund, Underlying Stock or Basket, and you will not benefit in any way from the performance of a better performing Index, Underlying Fund, Underlying Stock or Basket. The notes may underperform a similar investment in each of the Indices, Underlying Funds, Underlying Stock or Baskets or a similar alternative investment linked to a basket composed of the Indices, Underlying Funds, Underlying Stock or Baskets. In either such case, the performance of a better performing Index, Underlying Fund, Underlying Stock or Basket would be blended with the performance of the Worst-Performing Index, Underlying Fund, Underlying Stock or Basket, resulting in a potentially better return than what you would receive on the notes.

**If your notes are Worst-Performing Notes, it is more likely that you will not receive a positive return on the notes and will lose some or all of your investment.** With two or more Indices, Underlying Funds, Underlying Stocks or Baskets, it is more likely that the value of one Index, Underlying Fund, Underlying Stock or Basket will decline during the term of the notes than if the notes were linked to only one of the Indices, Underlying Funds, Underlying Stock or Baskets, in which case you may not receive a positive return on the notes and may lose some or all of your investment.

**If your notes are Worst-Performing Notes**, **you will be subject to risks relating to the relationship between the Indices, Underlying Funds, Underlying Stocks or Baskets.** By investing in Worst-Performing Notes, you assume the risk that the Indices, Underlying Funds, Underlying Stocks or Baskets may not exhibit a positive correlation (i.e., a tendency for

their values to increase or decrease at similar times and by similar magnitudes). The less correlated the Indices, Underlying Funds, Underlying Stocks or Baskets, the more likely it is that the value of one Index, Underlying Fund, Underlying Stock or Basket will decline during the term of the notes, in which case you may not receive a positive return on the notes and may lose some or all of your investment. It is impossible to predict what the relationship between the Indices, Underlying Funds, Underlying Stocks or Baskets will be over the term of the notes.

**If your notes are linked to the Best-Performing of two or more Indices, Underlying Funds, Underlying Stocks or Baskets, the Best-Performing Index, Underlying Fund, Underlying Stock or Basket may have poor performance and may not significantly outperform the lesser-performing Indices, Underlying Funds, Underlying Stocks and/or Baskets, as applicable.** Even if your notes are linked to the Best-Performing of two or more Indices, Underlying Funds, Underlying Stocks or Baskets (the "**Best-Performing Notes**"), the Best-Performing Market Measure may nevertheless have poor performance. Each Index, Underlying Fund, Underlying Stock or Basket included in the Market Measure may experience significant declines, and the fact that the notes are Best-Performing Notes does not mean that you will receive any positive return or not suffer a loss on the notes. Moreover, the Best-Performing Market Measure may not significantly outperform the lesser-performing Indices, Underlying Funds, Underlying Stocks and/or Baskets, as applicable. There is no assurance that having exposure to the Best-Performing Market Measure will provide a meaningful benefit relative to having exposure to only one Index, Underlying Fund, Underlying Stock or Basket, as applicable.

**Payments on the notes are subject to our credit risk, and any actual or perceived changes in our creditworthiness are expected to affect the value of, or any amounts payable on, the notes**. You are dependent on our ability to pay all amounts due on the notes on the applicable payment date, and, therefore, you are subject to our credit risk. If we default on our obligations under the notes, your investment would be at risk and you could lose some or all of your investment. No assurance can be given as to what our financial condition will be on any payment date. If we become unable to meet our financial obligations as they become due, you may not receive the amounts payable under the terms of the notes.

In addition, our credit ratings are assessments by ratings agencies of our abilities to pay our obligations. Consequently, our perceived creditworthiness and actual or anticipated decreases in our credit ratings or increases in the spread between the yield on our securities and the yield on U.S. Treasury securities (the "**credit spread**") prior to the maturity date may adversely affect the market value of the notes. However, because your return on the notes depends upon factors in addition to our ability to pay our obligations, such as the value of the Market Measure, an improvement in our credit ratings will not reduce the other investment risks related to the notes.

**As a finance subsidiary, MSFL has no independent operations and will have no independent assets.** As a finance subsidiary, MSFL has no independent operations beyond the issuance and administration of its securities and will have no independent assets available for distributions to holders of MSFL securities, including the notes, if they make claims in respect of the securities in a bankruptcy, resolution or similar proceeding. Accordingly, any recoveries by such holders will be limited to those available under the related guarantee by Morgan Stanley and that guarantee will rank *pari passu* with all other unsecured, unsubordinated obligations of Morgan Stanley. Holders will have recourse only to a single claim against Morgan Stanley and its assets under the guarantee. Holders of notes issued by MSFL should accordingly assume that in any such proceedings they would not have any priority over and should be treated *pari passu* with the claims of other unsecured,

unsubordinated creditors of Morgan Stanley, including holders of Morgan Stanley-issued notes.

**Notes issued by MSFL will not have the benefit of any cross-default or cross-acceleration with other indebtedness of MSFL or Morgan Stanley; a Morgan Stanley covenant default or bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization event does not constitute an event of default with respect to MSFL notes.** The notes issued by MSFL will not have the benefit of any cross-default or cross-acceleration with other indebtedness of MSFL or Morgan Stanley. In addition, a covenant default by Morgan Stanley, as guarantor, or an event of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of Morgan Stanley, as guarantor, does not constitute an event of default with respect to any notes issued by MSFL. See "Description of Debt Securities—Events of Default" in the accompanying prospectus.

**Holders of the notes could be at greater risk for being structurally subordinated if either MSFL or Morgan Stanley conveys, transfers or leases all or substantially all of its assets to one or more of Morgan Stanley's subsidiaries.** Under the indenture, MSFL may convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all of its assets to one or more of Morgan Stanley's subsidiaries. Similarly, Morgan Stanley may convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all of its assets to one or more of its subsidiaries. In either case, third-party creditors of Morgan Stanley's subsidiaries would have additional assets from which to recover on their claims while holders of the notes would be structurally subordinated to creditors of Morgan Stanley's subsidiaries with respect to such assets. See "Structural Subordination; Morgan Stanley's Access to Assets Held by Subsidiaries May Be Restricted" and "Status of the MSFL Securities; Relationship with Morgan Stanley Securities" in the accompanying prospectus.

**<u>Valuation- and Market-related Risks</u>**

**The rate we are willing to pay for notes of this type, maturity and issuance size is likely to be lower than the rate implied by our secondary market credit spreads and advantageous to us. Both the lower rate and the inclusion of costs associated with issuing, selling, structuring and hedging the notes in the original issue price reduce the economic terms of the notes, cause the estimated value of the notes to be less than the original issue price and will adversely affect secondary market prices.** Assuming no change in market conditions or any other relevant factors, the prices, if any, at which dealers, including MS & Co., may be willing to purchase the notes in secondary market transactions will likely be significantly lower than the original issue price, because secondary market prices will exclude the issuing, selling, structuring and hedging-related costs that are included in the original issue price and borne by you and because the secondary market prices will reflect our secondary market credit spreads and the bid-offer spread that any dealer would charge in a secondary market transaction of this type as well as other factors.

The inclusion of the costs of issuing, selling, structuring and hedging the notes in the original issue price and the lower rate we are willing to pay as issuer make the economic terms of the notes less favorable to you than they otherwise would be.

However, because the costs associated with issuing, selling, structuring and hedging the notes are not fully deducted upon issuance, for a predetermined period of time following the original issue date (to be specified in the applicable term sheet), to the extent that MS & Co. may buy or sell the notes in the secondary market, absent changes in market conditions, including those related to the Market Measure, and to our secondary market credit spreads, it would do so based on values higher than the estimated value, and we expect that those higher values will also be reflected in your brokerage account statements.

**The estimated value of the notes, as set forth in the applicable term sheet, will be determined by reference to our pricing and valuation models, which may differ from those of other dealers, and will not represent a maximum or minimum secondary market price.** These pricing and valuation models are proprietary and rely in part on subjective views of certain market inputs and certain assumptions about future events, which may prove to be incorrect. As a result, because there is no market-standard way to value these types of notes, our models may yield a higher estimated value of the notes than those generated by others, including other dealers in the market, if they attempted to value the notes. In addition, the estimated value on the pricing date will not represent a minimum or maximum price at which dealers, including MS & Co., would be willing to purchase your notes in the secondary market (if any exists) at any time. The value of your notes at any time after the date of the applicable term sheet will vary based on many factors that cannot be predicted with accuracy, including our creditworthiness and changes in market conditions. See also "The notes are not designed to be short-term trading instruments, and if you attempt to sell the notes prior to maturity, their market value, if any, will be affected by various factors that interrelate in complex ways, and their market value may be less than the principal amount" below.

**The notes may not be listed on any securities exchange and secondary trading may be limited.** Unless otherwise stated in the applicable term sheet, we will not list the notes on any securities exchange. Therefore, there may be little or no secondary market for the notes. Even if an application were made to list your notes, we cannot assure you that the application will be approved or that your notes will be listed and, if listed, that they will remain listed for their entire term. The listing of the notes on any securities exchange will not necessarily ensure that a trading market will develop or, if a trading market does develop, that there will be liquidity in the trading market. The development of a trading market for the notes will depend on various factors, including our financial performance and changes in the value of the Market Measure. The number of potential buyers of your notes in any secondary market may be limited. There is no assurance that any party will be willing to purchase your notes at any price in any secondary market.

Our affiliate, MS & Co., may, but is not obligated to, make a market in the notes and, if it once chooses to make a market, may cease doing so at any time. When it does make a market, it will generally do so for transactions of routine secondary market size at prices based on its estimate of the current value of the notes, taking into account its bid/offer spread, our credit spreads, market volatility, the notional size of the proposed sale, the cost of unwinding any related hedging positions, the time remaining to maturity and the likelihood that it will be able to resell the notes. Even if there is a secondary market, it may not provide enough liquidity to allow you to trade or sell the notes easily. Since other broker-dealers may not participate significantly in the secondary market for the notes, the price at which you may be able to trade your notes is likely to depend on the price, if any, at which MS & Co. is willing to transact. If, at any time, MS & Co. were to cease making a market in the notes, it is likely that there would be significantly less liquidity in that secondary market. In such a case, the price at which those notes could be sold likely would be lower than if an active market existed. Accordingly, you should be willing to hold your notes to maturity.

**The notes are not designed to be short-term trading instruments, and if you attempt to sell the notes prior to maturity, their market value, if any, will be affected by various factors that interrelate in complex ways, and their market value may be less than the principal amount.** The notes are not designed to be short-term trading instruments. Unless otherwise set forth in the applicable term sheet, you have no right to have your notes redeemed prior to maturity. If you wish to liquidate your investment in the notes prior to maturity, your only option would be to sell them in the secondary market. At that time, there may be an illiquid market for your notes or no market at all. Even if you were able to sell your

notes, there are many factors outside of our control that may adversely affect their market value, some of which, but not all, are stated below. The impact of any one factor may be offset or magnified by the effect of another factor. These factors may interact with each other in complex and unpredictable ways. The following paragraphs describe a specific factor's expected impact on the market value of the notes, *assuming all other conditions remain constant*.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· **Value of the Market Measure.** We anticipate that the market value of the notes prior to maturity or a call generally will depend
to a significant extent on the value of the Market Measure. In general, it is expected that the market value of the notes will decrease
as the value of the Market Measure decreases. The reverse will be true as to Bearish Notes. However, as the value of the Market Measure
increases or decreases, the market value of the notes may not increase or decrease at the same rate. If you sell your notes when the value
of the Market Measure is less than, or not sufficiently above (or in the case of Bearish Notes, below) its value on the pricing date,
then you may receive less than the principal amount of your notes.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· **Volatility of the Market Measure.** Volatility is the term used to describe the size and frequency of market fluctuations. The
volatility of the Market Measure during the term of the notes may vary. In addition, an unsettled international environment and related
uncertainties may result in greater market volatility, which may continue over the term of the notes. Increases or decreases in the volatility
of the Market Measure may have an adverse impact on the market value of the notes. Even if the value of the Market Measure increases after
the applicable pricing date, if you are able to sell your notes before their maturity date, you may receive substantially less than the
amount that would be payable upon a call or at maturity based on that value because of the anticipation that the value of the Market Measure
will continue to fluctuate prior to the maturity date of the notes.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· **Economic and Other Conditions Generally.** The general economic conditions of the capital markets in the United States, as well
as geopolitical conditions and other financial, political, public health, regulatory and judicial events, natural disasters, acts of terrorism
or war and related uncertainties that affect stock or commodity markets generally, may adversely affect the value of the Market Measure
and the market value of the notes. If the Market Measure or a Basket Component, as applicable, includes one or more Underlying Funds or
Indices that have returns that are calculated based upon securities, commodities or other assets traded in one or more non-U.S. markets
(a "**non-U.S. Market Measure** "), or if an Underlying Stock is an ADR, the value of your notes may also be adversely affected
by similar events in the markets of the relevant foreign countries.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· **Interest Rates.** We expect that changes in interest rates will affect the market value of the notes. In general, if U.S. interest
rates increase, we expect that the market value of the notes will decrease. In general, we expect that the longer the amount of time that
remains until maturity, the more significant the impact of these changes will be on the value of the notes. The level of interest rates
also may affect the U.S. economy and any applicable market outside of the United States, and in turn, the value of the Market Measure,
and, thus, the market value of the notes may be adversely affected. In the case of non-U.S. Market Measures or any Underlying Stock that
is an ADR, the level of interest rates in the relevant foreign countries may also affect their economies and in turn the value of the
non-U.S. Market Measure or ADR, and, thus, the market value of the notes may be adversely affected.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· **Dividend Yields.** In general, if the cumulative dividend yields on the securities included in the Market Measure or a Basket
Component or any Underlying Stock, as applicable,

increase, we anticipate that the market value of the notes will decrease.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· **Exchange Rate Movements and Volatility.** If the Market Measure of your notes or any Basket Component, as applicable, consists
of or includes any non-U.S. Market Measures, changes in, and the volatility of, the exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and the relevant
non-U.S. currency or currencies could have an adverse impact on the value of your notes, and the payments on the notes may depend in part
on the relevant exchange rates. In addition, the correlation between the relevant exchange rate and any applicable non-U.S. Market Measure
reflects the extent to which a percentage change in that exchange rate corresponds to a percentage change in the applicable non-U.S. Market
Measure, and changes in these correlations may have an adverse impact on the value of your notes.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· **Our Financial Condition and Creditworthiness.** Our perceived creditworthiness, including any increases in our credit spreads
and any actual or anticipated decreases in our credit ratings, may adversely affect the market value of the notes. In general, we expect
the longer the amount of time that remains until maturity, the more significant the impact will be on the value of the notes. However,
a decrease in our credit spreads or an improvement in our credit ratings will not necessarily increase the market value of the notes.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· **Time Remaining to Maturity.** There may be a disparity between the market value of the notes prior to maturity and their value
at maturity. This disparity is often called a time "value," "premium" or "discount," and reflects
expectations concerning the value of the Market Measure prior to the maturity date.

**There are risks relating to U.S. federal income tax matters.** Risks relating to U.S. federal income tax matters will be described in the applicable pricing supplement.

**<u>Conflict-related Risks</u>**

**Hedging and trading activity by our affiliates or any dealer participating in the offering or their affiliates could potentially adversely affect the value of the notes.** One or more of our affiliates and/or third-party dealers or their affiliates expect to carry out hedging activities related to the notes (and, as applicable, possibly to other instruments: (i) linked to an Index, the securities included in such Index or listed or over-the-counter derivative or synthetic instruments related to such Index or such securities, (ii) linked to an Underlying Fund, shares of such Underlying Fund, securities held by or included in such Underlying Fund or the index underlying such Underlying Fund ("**Underlying Index**") or listed or over-the counter derivative or synthetic instruments related to the Underlying Fund or such securities, and (iii) linked to an Underlying Stock, such Underlying Stock or listed or over-the-counter derivative or synthetic instruments related to such Underlying Stock), including trading in the securities included in an Index, shares of an Underlying Fund or an Underlying Stock, as well as in other instruments related to such Index, Underlying Fund or Underlying Stock. As a result, these entities may be unwinding or adjusting hedge positions during the term of the notes, and the hedging strategy may involve greater and more frequent dynamic adjustments to the hedge as the final calculation day approaches. Some of our affiliates or any dealer participating in the offering or their affiliates may also trade the securities that constitute an Index and other financial instruments related to an Index, shares of an Underlying Fund, or an Underlying Stock on a regular basis as part of their general broker-dealer and other businesses. Any of these hedging or trading activities on or prior to the pricing date could potentially affect the level of an Index, Underlying Fund or Underlying Stock on the pricing date, and, therefore, could increase the level at or above which an Index, Underlying Fund or Underlying Stock must close on the calculation day(s) so that investors do not suffer a loss on their initial investment

in the notes. Additionally, such hedging or trading activities during the term of the notes, including on the calculation day(s), could adversely affect the level of an Index, Fund or Underlying Stock on the calculation day(s), and, accordingly, the amount of cash an investor will receive at maturity, if any.

**There may be potential conflicts of interest involving the calculation agent, which is an affiliate of ours. We have the right to appoint and remove the calculation agent.** One of our affiliates will be the calculation agent for the notes and, as such, will make a variety of determinations relating to the notes, including the amounts payable under the notes. Moreover, certain determinations made by the calculation agent may require it to exercise discretion and make subjective judgments, such as with respect to the occurrence or non-occurrence of Market Disruption Events, the selection of a successor index or calculation of any Closing Level in the event of a discontinuance of an Index, the selection of a successor underlying fund or calculation of any Closing Market Price in the event of a discontinuance of an Underlying Fund, the calculation of any Closing Market Price of an Underlying Stock if it is not otherwise available and whether to make any adjustments to the Price Multiplier for certain corporate events affecting an Underlying Fund or Underlying Stock. These potentially subjective determinations may adversely affect your return on the notes, if any. Under some circumstances, these duties could result in a conflict of interest between the calculation agent's status as our affiliate and its responsibilities as calculation agent. These conflicts could occur, for instance, in connection with the calculation agent's determination as to whether a Market Disruption Event has occurred, or in connection with judgments that the calculation agent would be required to make if the publication of a Market Measure or Underlying is discontinued or certain events occur with respect to any Underlying Fund or Underlying Stock. The calculation agent will be required to carry out its duties in good faith and use its reasonable judgment. However, because we expect that we will control the calculation agent, potential conflicts of interest could arise. Neither we nor any of our affiliates will have any obligation to consider your interests as a holder of the notes in taking any action that might affect the value of the notes.

**<u>Market Measure-related Risks</u>**

**No sponsor, publisher or investment advisor of an Underlying Fund, an Index or an Underlying Index (each a "Market Measure Publisher") will have any obligations relating to the notes.** No Market Measure Publisher will have any financial or legal obligation with respect to the notes or the amounts to be paid to you, including any obligation to take our needs or the needs of note holders into consideration for any reason, including taking any actions that might adversely affect the value of the Market Measure or an Underlying or the value of the notes. No Market Measure Publisher will receive any of the proceeds from any offering of the notes, and no Market Measure Publisher will be responsible for, or participate in, the offering of the notes. No Market Measure Publisher will be responsible for, or participate in, the determination or calculation of the amount receivable by holders of the notes.

We, any dealer participating in the offering and our or their respective affiliates do not make any representation to any purchasers of the notes regarding any matters whatsoever relating to the issuers of the securities included in a Market Measure or Underlying. Any prospective purchaser of the notes should undertake an independent investigation of the companies included in the Market Measure or Underlying to a level that, in its judgment, is appropriate to make an informed decision regarding an investment in the notes. Neither we nor any agent has made any independent investigation as to the completeness or accuracy of publicly available information regarding any Market Measure or Underlying or as to the future performance of any Market Measure or Underlying.

**Adjustments to an Index or Underlying Index could adversely affect the value of the notes.** The Market Measure Publisher of an Index or an Underlying Index is responsible for calculating and maintaining such Index or Underlying Index. The Market Measure Publisher can add, delete or substitute the components included in such Index or Underlying Index or make other methodological changes that could change its level. A new security included in an Index or Underlying Index may perform significantly better or worse than the replaced security, and the performance will impact the level of the applicable Index or Underlying Index. Additionally, a Market Measure Publisher may alter, discontinue or suspend calculation or dissemination of an Index or Underlying Index. Any of these actions could adversely affect the level of such Index or Underlying Index, and, consequently, the value of your notes. The Market Measure Publishers will have no obligation to consider your interests in calculating or revising any Index or any Underlying Index.

**Morgan Stanley, MSFL or their respective affiliates may publish potentially inconsistent research, opinions or recommendations.** Morgan Stanley, MSFL and their respective affiliates may publish research from time to time on financial markets and other matters that may influence the value of the notes, or express opinions or provide recommendations that are inconsistent with purchasing or holding the notes. Any research, opinions or recommendations expressed by Morgan Stanley, MSFL or their respective affiliates may not be consistent with each other and may be modified from time to time without notice. Investors should make their own independent investigation of the merits of investing in the notes and the Market Measures or Underlyings to which the notes are linked.

**Our offering of the notes does not constitute a recommendation of the Market Measure.** You should not take our offering of the notes as an expression of our views or the views of our distributors or their affiliates about how any Market Measure or Underlying will perform in the future or as a recommendation to invest in any Market Measure or Underlying, including through an investment in the notes. As we are part of a global financial institution, we and our affiliates may, and often do, have positions (both long and short) in the Market Measure, an Underlying or any of their respective underlying assets that may conflict with an investment in the notes. The same may be true as to our distributors or their affiliates. You should undertake an independent determination of whether an investment in the notes is suitable for you in light of your specific investment objectives, risk tolerance and financial resources.

**Investing in the notes is not equivalent to investing in any Market Measure or Underlying, as applicable.** Investing in the notes will not make you a holder of shares or units of the Market Measure or Underlying(s) or any of the assets included in the Market Measure or Underlying(s), as applicable. You will not have any voting rights, any rights to receive dividends or other distributions, any rights against a Market Measure Publisher, or any other rights with respect to the Market Measure, an Underlying or any of their respective underlying assets. As a result, the return on your notes may not reflect the return you would realize if you actually owned the Market Measure or Underlying(s) or any of their respective underlying assets and received the dividends paid or other distributions made in connection with them. Additionally, the values of certain Underlying Funds or Indices reflect only the prices of the securities included in such Underlying Funds or Indices and do not take into consideration the value of dividends paid on those securities. Your notes will be paid in cash and you have no right to receive the Market Measure, any Underlying or any of their respective underlying assets.

**Unless otherwise set forth in the applicable term sheet, we, any dealer participating in the offering and our or their respective affiliates have no affiliation with any Market Measure Publisher, any company included in any Market Measure, Underlying or Underlying Index or any Underlying Company, and have not verified any** 

**disclosure made by any Market Measure Publisher, any of those companies or any Underlying Company.**

We, any dealer participating in the offering and our or their respective affiliates currently, or in the future, may engage in business with Market Measure Publishers or companies included in a Market Measure, Underlying, Underlying Index or any Underlying Company, and we, any dealer participating in the offering and our or their respective affiliates may from time to time own securities of an Underlying Fund, of companies included in a Market Measure, Underlying or Underlying Index or of an Underlying Company. However, none of us, any dealer participating in the offering or our or their respective affiliates have the ability to control the actions of any Market Measure Publisher, Underlying Company or any of these companies or have undertaken any independent review of, or made any due diligence inquiry with respect to, any Market Measure Publisher, Underlying Company or any of these companies, unless (and only to the extent that) our securities or our other affiliates are included in that Market Measure, Underlying or Underlying Index. In addition, unless otherwise set forth in the applicable term sheet, none of us, any dealer participating in the offering or our or their respective affiliates are responsible for the calculation of any Index, Underlying Fund, Underlying Stock or Underlying Index. You should make your own investigation into the applicable Market Measure, Underlying or Underlying Index.

**The business activities of us, any dealer participating in the offering and our or their respective affiliates relating to the issuers of the securities included in a Market Measure or Underlying, as applicable, or any Underlying Company may create conflicts of interest with you.** We, any dealer participating in the offering and our or their respective affiliates, at the time of any offering of the notes or in the future, may engage in business with the companies included in a Market Measure or Underlying or with an Underlying Company, including making loans to or equity investments in, or providing investment banking, asset management or other services to those companies, their affiliates and their competitors.

In connection with these activities, we, any dealer participating in the offering and our or their respective affiliates may receive information about those companies that we or they will not divulge to you or other third-parties. One or more of our affiliates, any dealer participating in the offering and their affiliates may have published, and in the future may publish, research reports on one or more of these companies. This research is modified from time to time without notice and may express opinions or provide recommendations that are inconsistent with purchasing or holding your notes. Any of these activities may adversely affect the value of the Market Measure or an Underlying and, consequently, the value of your notes. We, any dealer participating in the offering and our or their respective affiliates do not make any representation to any purchasers of the notes regarding any matters whatsoever relating to the issuers of the securities included in a Market Measure or an Underlying or any Underlying Company. Any prospective purchaser of the notes should undertake an independent investigation of the issuers of the securities included in the Market Measure or Basket Component or any Underlying Company to a level that, in its judgment, is appropriate to make an informed decision regarding an investment in the notes. The composition of the Market Measure or an Underlying does not reflect any investment recommendations from us, any dealer participating in the offering or our or their respective affiliates.

**Exchange rate movements may adversely impact the value of the notes.** If any security or commodity represented by a Market Measure or an Underlying, as applicable, is traded in a currency other than U.S. dollars, and, for purposes of calculating the value of the Market Measure or Underlying, is converted into U.S. dollars, then the value of the Market Measure or Underlying may depend in part on the relevant exchange rates. If the value of the U.S. dollar strengthens against the currencies of those underlying assets, the value of the applicable Market Measure or Underlying may be adversely affected and payments on the notes may be reduced.

Exchange rate movements may be impacted particularly by existing and expected rates of inflation and interest rate levels; political, civil or military unrest; the balance of payments between countries; and the extent of governmental surpluses or deficits in the relevant countries and the United States. All of these factors are in turn sensitive to the monetary, fiscal and trade policies pursued by the governments of those countries and the United States and other countries important to international trade and finance.

**If the Market Measure or an Underlying, as applicable, to which your notes are linked includes equity securities traded on foreign exchanges, or if shares of an Underlying Company are also listed on a foreign exchange your return may be affected by factors affecting international securities markets.** The value of securities traded outside of the United States may be adversely affected by a variety of factors relating to the relevant securities markets. Factors which could affect those markets, and therefore the return on your notes, include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· **Market Liquidity and Volatility.** The relevant foreign securities markets may be less liquid and/or more volatile than U.S.
or other securities markets and may be affected by market developments in different ways than U.S. or other securities markets.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· **Political, Economic and Other Factors.** The prices and performance of securities of companies in foreign countries may be affected
by political, economic, financial, and social factors in those regions. Direct or indirect government intervention to stabilize a particular
securities market and cross-shareholdings in companies in the relevant foreign markets may affect prices and the volume of trading in
those markets. In addition, recent or future changes in government, economic and fiscal policies in the relevant jurisdictions, the possible
imposition of, or changes in, currency exchange laws, or other laws or restrictions, and possible fluctuations in the rate of exchange
between currencies, are factors that could adversely affect the relevant securities markets. The relevant foreign economies may differ
from the U.S. economy in economic factors such as growth of gross national product, rate of inflation, capital reinvestment, resources
and self-sufficiency.

In particular, many emerging nations are undergoing rapid change involving the restructuring of economic, political, financial and legal systems. Regulatory and tax environments may be subject to change without review or appeal, and many emerging markets suffer from underdevelopment of capital markets and tax systems. In addition, in some of these nations, issuers of the relevant securities face the threat of expropriation of their assets and/or nationalization of their businesses. The economic and financial data about some of these countries may be unreliable.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· **Publicly Available Information.** There is generally less publicly available information about foreign companies than about U.S.
companies that are subject to the reporting requirements of the SEC. Additionally, the accounting, auditing and financial reporting

standards and requirements applicable to foreign companies may differ from those applicable to U.S. companies.

**The historical performance of the Market Measure or an Underlying should not be taken as an indication of its performance during the term of the notes.** The Market Measure or an Underlying may perform better or worse during the term of the notes than it has historically. The historical performance of the Market Measure or an Underlying, including any historical performance set forth in the applicable term sheet, should not be taken as an indication of its future performance.

**<u>Additional Risks Relating to Underlying Funds</u>**

**There are liquidity and management risks associated with Underlying Funds.** Although shares or units of any Underlying Fund to which your notes are linked will be listed for trading on a securities exchange and a number of similar products have been traded on various exchanges for varying periods of time, there is no assurance that an active trading market will continue for the shares or units of that Underlying Fund or that there will be liquidity in the trading market.

Underlying Funds are subject to management risk, which is the risk that the investment adviser's investment strategy, the implementation of which is subject to a number of constraints, may not produce the intended results.

**Adjustments to an Underlying Fund or its Underlying Index could adversely affect the value of the notes.** A Market Measure Publisher can change the investment policies of the applicable Underlying Fund or the policies concerning the calculation of the applicable Underlying Fund's net asset value, or add, delete or substitute the underlying assets held by the Underlying Fund or the components included in an Underlying Index, as the case may be, or make other methodological changes that could change the value of that Underlying Fund or Underlying Index. Additionally, a Market Measure Publisher may alter, discontinue or suspend calculation or dissemination of the price of its Underlying Fund, the net asset value of its Underlying Fund or the level of its Underlying Index, as the case may be. Any of these actions could adversely affect the value of your notes. This could also result in the early redemption of your notes. See "Description of the Notes—Anti-Dilution and Discontinuance Adjustments Relating to Underlying Funds—Discontinuance of or Material Change to an Underlying Fund." The Market Measure Publishers will have no obligation to consider your interests in calculating or revising any Underlying Fund or Underlying Index.

**Risks associated with the applicable Underlying Index, or underlying assets of an Underlying Fund, as applicable, will affect the value of that Underlying Fund and hence the value of the notes.** An Underlying Fund is a fund that may hold a variety of underlying assets, including stocks, bonds, commodities or derivative instruments, and its performance may be designed to track the performance of an Underlying Index. While the notes are linked to an Underlying Fund and not to its underlying assets or Underlying Index, risks associated with its underlying assets or Underlying Index will affect the share or unit price of that Underlying Fund and hence the value of the notes. Some of the risks that relate to an Underlying Fund include those discussed below in this product supplement, which you should review before investing in the notes.

**The performance and market price of an Underlying Fund, particularly during periods of market volatility, may not correlate with the performance of the Underlying Index, the performance of the component securities of the Underlying Index or the net asset value per share of the Underlying Fund.** The Underlying Fund does not fully replicate

the Underlying Index and may hold securities that are different than those included in the Underlying Index. In addition, the performance of the Underlying Fund will reflect additional transaction costs and fees that are not included in the calculation of the Underlying Index. All of these factors may lead to a lack of correlation between the performance of the Underlying Fund and the Underlying Index. In addition, corporate actions (such as mergers and spin-offs) with respect to the equity securities underlying the Underlying Fund may impact the variance between the performances of the Underlying Fund and the Underlying Index. Finally, because the shares of the Underlying Fund are traded on an exchange and are subject to market supply and investor demand, the market price of one share of the Underlying Fund may differ from the net asset value per share of the Underlying Fund.

In particular, during periods of market volatility, or unusual trading activity, trading in the securities underlying the Underlying Fund may be disrupted or limited, or such securities may be unavailable in the secondary market. Under these circumstances, the liquidity of the Underlying Fund may be adversely affected, market participants may be unable to calculate accurately the net asset value per share of the Underlying Fund, and their ability to create and redeem shares of the Underlying Fund may be disrupted. Under these circumstances, the market price of the Underlying Fund may vary substantially from the net asset value per share of the Underlying Fund or the level of the Underlying Index.

For all of the foregoing reasons, the performance of the Underlying Fund may not correlate with the performance of the Underlying Index, the performance of the component securities of the Underlying Index or the net asset value per share of the Underlying Fund. Any of these events could materially and adversely affect the price of the Underlying Fund and, therefore, the value of the notes. Additionally, if market volatility or these events were to occur on one or more calculation days during the Maturity Valuation Period, the calculation agent would maintain discretion to determine whether such market volatility or events have caused a Market Disruption Event to occur, and such determination would affect the Redemption Amount of the notes. If the calculation agent determines that no Market Disruption Event has taken place, the Redemption Amount would be based solely on the published closing price per share of the Underlying Fund on such calculation day(s), even if the Underlying Fund is underperforming the Underlying Index or the component securities of the Underlying Index and/or trading below the net asset value per share of the Underlying Fund.

**If an Underlying Fund holds underlying assets traded on foreign exchanges, time-zone differences may create discrepancies between the values of those underlying assets and the value of the notes.** As a result of the time-zone difference, if applicable, between the cities where the underlying assets held by an Underlying Fund trade and the cities in which shares or units of that Underlying Fund are traded, there may be discrepancies between the values of the relevant underlying assets and the trading prices of that Underlying Fund. In addition, there may be periods when the foreign exchange markets are closed for trading (for example during holidays in a country other than the United States) that may result in the values of the relevant non-U.S. underlying assets remaining unchanged for multiple Market Measure Business Days in the locations where the notes (or any related Underlying Fund) trade. Conversely, there may be periods when the foreign exchange markets are open but the securities markets in which the notes (or any related Underlying Fund) trade are closed.

**The payment on the notes will not be adjusted for all events that could affect an Underlying Fund.** The Price Multiplier(s), the value of an Underlying Fund, the amount payable on the notes, and other terms of the notes may be adjusted for specified events affecting any Underlying Fund, as described in the section entitled "Description of the Notes—Anti-Dilution and Discontinuance Adjustments Relating to Underlying Funds." However, these adjustments do not cover all events that could affect the market price of an Underlying Fund.

The occurrence of any event that does not require the calculation agent to adjust the applicable Price Multiplier or the amount payable on the notes may adversely affect the Closing Market Price of any Underlying Fund and the amount payable on the notes, and, as a result, the market value of the notes.

**<u>Risks Relating to Commodity-Based Underlying Funds</u>**

**The prices of commodities held by an Underlying Fund may change unpredictably, affecting the value of your notes in unforeseeable ways.** Trading in commodities and futures contracts is speculative and can be extremely volatile. Their market prices may fluctuate rapidly based on numerous factors, including: changes in supply and demand relationships; weather; trends in agriculture; trade, fiscal, monetary and exchange control programs; domestic and foreign political and economic events and policies; disease, pestilence and technological developments; changes in interest rates, whether through governmental action or market movements; currency exchange rates; volatility from speculative activities; the development, availability and/or decrease in price of substitutes; monetary and other governmental policies, action and inaction; macroeconomic or geopolitical and military events, including political instability in some oil-producing countries or other countries in which the production of particular commodities may be concentrated; and natural or nuclear disasters. These factors may affect the value of an Underlying Fund in varying ways, and different factors may cause the levels and volatilities of commodity prices to move in inconsistent directions at inconsistent rates. Additionally, certain Underlying Funds may be concentrated in only a few industries or even a single industry (e.g., energy). These Underlying Funds are likely to be more volatile than those that hold a broad base of commodities.

**If the liquidity of the components of any Underlying Fund is limited, the notes would likely be impaired.** Commodities and derivatives contracts on commodities may be difficult to buy or sell, particularly during adverse market conditions. Reduced liquidity would likely have an adverse effect on the value of any such Underlying Fund and, therefore, on the return, if any, on your notes. Limited liquidity relating to the components of an Underlying Fund may also result in the Market Measure Publisher being unable to determine the value of its Underlying Fund using its normal means. The resulting discretion by the Market Measure Publisher of an Underlying Fund in determining the value could adversely affect the value of the notes.

**Suspension or disruptions of market trading in the applicable commodities and related futures markets may adversely affect the value of the notes.** The commodity markets are subject to temporary distortions or other disruptions due to various factors, including the lack of liquidity in the markets, the participation of speculators and government regulation and intervention. In addition, U.S. futures exchanges and some foreign exchanges have regulations that limit the amount of fluctuation in futures contract prices that may occur during a single business day. These limits are generally referred to as "daily price fluctuation limits," and the maximum or minimum price of a contract on any given day as a result of these limits is referred to as a "limit price." Once the limit price has been reached in a particular contract, no trades may be made at a different price. Limit prices have the effect of precluding trading in a particular contract or forcing the liquidation of contracts at disadvantageous times or prices. Any such disruption, or any other force majeure (such as a fire, flood, severe weather conditions, act of governmental authority, labor difficulty or other event) could have an adverse effect on the value of or trading in shares of an Underlying Fund and therefore, the value of the notes.

**Legal and regulatory changes could adversely affect the return on and value of your notes.** The value of the commodities held by an Underlying Fund could be adversely

affected by new laws or regulations or by the reinterpretation of existing laws or regulations (including, without limitation, those related to taxes and duties on commodities and futures contracts) by one or more governments, courts, or other official bodies.

In the United States, the regulation of commodity transactions is subject to ongoing modification by governmental and judicial action. For example, the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission ("**CFTC**") has interpreted the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act ("**Dodd-Frank**"), which was enacted in July 2010, to require the CFTC to impose limits on the size of positions that can be held by market participants in futures contracts and OTC derivatives on certain physical commodities. The CFTC adopted final position limit rules in October 2020; the final rules became effective in March 2021 and were fully phased in by January 2023. These limits restrict the ability of many market participants to trade in the commodities markets to the same extent as they have in the past, including affecting their ability to enter into or maintain hedge positions in the applicable commodity or futures contracts. These rules and various other legislative and regulatory requirements may, among other things, reduce liquidity, increase market volatility, and increase costs in these markets. These consequences could adversely affect an Underlying Fund and the value of your notes.

In addition, other governmental or regulatory bodies (such as the European Commission) have proposed or may propose in the future legislation or regulations containing restrictions similar to those contemplated by Dodd-Frank, or other legislation or regulations containing other restrictions that could adversely impact the liquidity of and increase costs of participating in the commodities markets. If such legislation or regulations are adopted or other legislation or regulations are adopted in the future, they could have an adverse effect on the value of the applicable Underlying Fund and your notes.

**The notes will not be regulated by the CFTC**. The notes will not be interests in a commodity pool nor will they be regulated by the CFTC as a commodity pool. Further, we will not be registered with the CFTC as a commodity pool operator. The notes will not constitute investments by you or by us on your behalf in futures contracts traded on regulated futures exchanges, which may only be transacted through a person registered with the CFTC as a "futures commission merchant" ("**FCM**"). We are not registered with the CFTC as an FCM, and you will not benefit from the CFTC's or any other non-U.S. regulatory authority's regulatory protections for persons who trade in futures contracts or who invest in regulated commodity pools.

**An Underlying Fund may include commodities or futures contracts traded on foreign exchanges that are less regulated than U.S. markets and may involve different and greater risks than trading on U.S. exchanges.** An Underlying Fund may own commodities or futures contracts that trade on exchanges located outside the United States. The regulations of the CFTC do not apply to trading on foreign exchanges, and trading on foreign exchanges may involve different and greater risks than trading on U.S. exchanges. Certain foreign markets may be more susceptible to disruption than U.S. exchanges due to the lack of a government-regulated clearinghouse system. Trading on foreign exchanges also involves certain other risks that are not applicable to trading on U.S. exchanges. Those risks include: (a) exchange rate risk relative to the U.S. dollar; (b) exchange controls; (c) expropriation; (d) burdensome or confiscatory taxation; and (e) moratoriums, and political or diplomatic events. It may also be more costly and difficult for participants in those markets to enforce the laws or regulations of a foreign country or exchange, and it is possible that the foreign country or exchange may not have laws or regulations which adequately protect the rights and interests of investors in the relevant commodities or contracts. These factors could reduce the value of the applicable Underlying Fund and the value of your notes.

**<u>Additional Risks Relating to Underlying Stocks</u>**

**An Underlying Company will have no obligations relating to the notes and none of us, any dealer participating in the offering or our or their respective affiliates will perform any due diligence procedures with respect to any Underlying Company.** An Underlying Company will not have any financial or legal obligation with respect to the notes or the amounts to be paid to you, including any obligation to take our interest or the interests of holders of the notes into consideration for any reason, including when taking any corporate actions that might adversely affect the price of an Underlying Stock or the value of the notes. An Underlying Company will not receive any of the proceeds from any offering of the notes, and will not be responsible for, or participate in, the offering of the notes. No Underlying Company will be responsible for, or participate in, the determination or calculation of any payments on the notes.

None of us, any dealer participating in the offering or our or their respective affiliates will conduct any due diligence inquiry with respect to any Underlying Stock in connection with an offering of the notes. None of us, any dealer participating in the offering or our or their respective affiliates has made any independent investigation as to the completeness or accuracy of publicly available information regarding any Underlying Stock or any Underlying Company or as to the future performance of any Underlying Stock, and we, any dealer participating in the offering and our or their affiliates do not make any representation to any purchasers of the notes regarding any matters whatsoever relating to any Underlying Company. Any prospective purchaser of the notes should undertake such independent investigation of any Underlying Stock and any Underlying Company to a level that, in its judgment, is appropriate to make an informed decision with respect to an investment in the notes.

**The payment on the notes will not be adjusted for all corporate events that could affect an Underlying Company.** The Price Multiplier(s), the values of an Underlying Stock, the amount payable on the notes, and other terms of the notes may be adjusted for the specified corporate events affecting an Underlying Stock, as described in the section entitled "Description of the Notes—Anti-Dilution Adjustments for Underlying Stocks." However, these adjustments do not cover all corporate events that could affect the market price of an Underlying Stock, such as offerings of common shares for cash or in connection with certain acquisition transactions. The occurrence of any event that does not require the calculation agent to adjust the applicable Price Multiplier or any other terms of the notes may adversely affect the Closing Market Price of an Underlying Stock and the amount payable on the notes, and, as a result, the market value of the notes.

**<u>Risks Relating to Underlying Stocks That Are ADRs</u>**

**The value of an ADR may not accurately track the value of the common shares of the related Underlying Company.** If an Underlying Stock is an ADR, each ADR will represent shares of the relevant Underlying Company. Generally, the ADRs are issued under a deposit agreement that sets forth the rights and responsibilities of the depositary, the Underlying Company and the holders of the ADRs. The trading patterns of the ADRs will generally reflect the characteristics and valuations of the underlying common shares; however, the value of the ADRs may not completely track the value of those shares. There are important differences between the rights of holders of ADRs and the rights of holders of the underlying common shares. In addition, trading volume and pricing on the applicable non-U.S. exchange may, but will not necessarily, have similar characteristics as the ADRs. For example, certain factors may increase or decrease the public float of the ADRs and, as a result, the ADRs may have less liquidity or lower market value than the underlying common shares.

**Exchange rate movements may adversely affect the value of an Underlying Stock that is an ADR.** If an Underlying Stock is an ADR, the market price of that Underlying Stock will generally track the U.S. dollar value of the market price of its underlying common shares. Therefore, if the value of the related foreign currency in which the underlying common shares are traded decreases relative to the U.S. dollar, the market price of the Underlying Stock may decrease while the market price of the underlying common shares remains stable or increases, or does not decrease to the same extent. As a result, changes in, and the volatility of, the exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and the relevant non-U.S. currency could have an adverse impact on the value of that Underlying Stock and consequently, the value of your notes and the amount payable on the notes.

Exchange rate movements may be impacted particularly by existing and expected rates of inflation and interest rate levels; political, civil or military unrest; the balance of payments between countries; and the extent of governmental surpluses or deficits in the relevant countries and the United States. All of these factors are in turn sensitive to the monetary, fiscal and trade policies pursued by the governments of those countries and the United Sates and other countries important to international trade and finance.

**Adverse trading conditions in the applicable non-U.S. market may negatively affect the value of an Underlying Stock that is an ADR.** Holders of an Underlying Company's ADRs may usually surrender the ADRs in order to receive and trade the underlying common shares. This provision permits investors in the ADRs to take advantage of price differentials between markets. However, this provision may also cause the market prices of the applicable Underlying Stock to more closely correspond with the values of the common shares in the applicable non-U.S. markets. As a result, a market outside of the United States for the underlying common shares that is not liquid may also result in an illiquid market for the ADRs, which may negatively impact the value of such ADRs and, consequently, the value of your notes.

**Delisting of an Underlying Stock that is an ADR may adversely affect the value of the notes.** If an Underlying Stock that is an ADR is no longer listed or admitted to trading on a U.S. securities exchange registered under the Exchange Act or included in the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board Service (the "**OTC Bulletin Board**") operated by FINRA, or if the ADR facility between the Underlying Company and the ADR depositary is terminated for any reason, that Underlying Stock will be deemed to be the Underlying Company's common equity securities rather than the ADRs, and the calculation agent will determine the price of the Underlying Stock by reference to those common shares, as described below under "Description of the Notes—Delisting of ADRs or Termination of ADR Facility." Replacing the original ADRs with the underlying common shares may adversely affect the value of the notes and the amounts payable on the notes.

**<u>Other Risk Factors Relating to the Applicable Market Measure</u>**

The applicable term sheet may set forth additional risk factors relating to the Market Measure or Basket Components, as applicable, which you should review prior to purchasing the notes.

**USE OF PROCEEDS AND HEDGING**

The net proceeds from the sale of the notes will be used by us for general corporate purposes. We will receive, in aggregate, the issue price per note issued, because, when we enter into hedging transactions in order to meet our obligations under the notes, our hedging counterparty will reimburse the cost of the agent's commissions. The costs of the notes borne by you and described in the applicable term sheet comprise the agent's commissions and the cost of issuing, structuring and hedging the notes. See also "Use of Proceeds" in the accompanying prospectus.

On or prior to the pricing date, we expect to hedge our anticipated exposure in connection with the notes by entering into hedging transactions with our affiliates and/or third-party dealers. We expect our hedging counterparties to take positions in the securities constituting the Market Measures or Basket Components, in futures or options contracts on the Market Measures or Basket Components, as applicable, or any component securities listed on major securities markets or positions in any other available securities or instruments that they may wish to use in connection with such hedging. Such purchase or sale activity on or prior to the pricing date could affect the value of any Market Measure or Basket Component, and, as a result, could increase the level at or above which, in the case of Bullish Notes, or decrease the level at or below which, in the case of Bearish Notes, such Market Measure or Basket Component must close so that you do not suffer a loss on your initial investment in the notes. In addition, through our affiliates, we are likely to modify our hedge position throughout the life of the notes, including on the Observation Date(s) or calculation day(s), by purchasing and selling the securities constituting the Market Measures or Basket Components, as applicable, futures or options contracts on the Market Measures or Basket Components, as applicable, or any component securities listed on major securities markets or positions in any other available securities or instruments that we may wish to use in connection with such hedging activities. These entities may be unwinding or adjusting hedge positions during the term of the notes, and the hedging strategy may involve greater and more frequent dynamic adjustments to the hedge as the final calculation day approaches. We cannot give any assurance that our hedging activities will not affect the value of the Market Measure, and, therefore, adversely affect the value of the notes or the payment you will receive at maturity, if any.

**DESCRIPTION OF THE NOTES**

The following description of the notes supplements and, to the extent it is inconsistent with, supersedes the description of the general terms and provisions of the notes and debt securities set forth under the heading "Description of Debt Securities" in the prospectus. These documents should be read in connection with the applicable term sheet.

**General**

*Morgan Stanley Notes.* Morgan Stanley will issue the notes as part of its Series I medium-term notes under the Senior Debt Indenture. The Series I medium-term notes issued under the Senior Debt Indenture, together with Morgan Stanley's senior Series J and Series K global medium-term notes, referred to below under "Plan of Distribution; Conflicts of Interest," will constitute a single series under the Senior Debt Indenture, together with any other obligations Morgan Stanley issues in the future under the Senior Debt Indenture that it designates as being part of that series. The Senior Debt Indenture does not limit the amount of additional indebtedness that Morgan Stanley may incur. Morgan Stanley may, without your consent, create and issue additional notes with the same terms as previous issuances of notes, so that the additional notes will be considered as part of the same issuance as the earlier notes.

*MSFL Notes.* MSFL will issue the notes as part of its Series A medium-term notes under the MSFL Senior Debt Indenture. The Series A medium-term notes issued under the MSFL Senior Debt Indenture will constitute a single series under the MSFL Senior Debt Indenture, together with any other obligations MSFL issues in the future under the MSFL Senior Debt Indenture that it designates as being part of that series. The MSFL Senior Debt Indenture does not limit the amount of additional indebtedness that MSFL may incur. MSFL may, without your consent, create and issue additional notes with the same terms as previous issuances of notes, so that the additional notes will be considered as part of the same issuance as the earlier notes.

***Ranking****. Morgan Stanley Notes.* Morgan Stanley notes issued under the Senior Debt Indenture will rank on a parity with all of its other senior indebtedness and with all of its other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness, subject to statutory exceptions in the event of liquidation upon insolvency.

*MSFL Notes.* MSFL notes issued under the MSFL Senior Debt Indenture will rank on a parity with all of its other senior indebtedness and with all of its other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness, subject to statutory exceptions in the event of liquidation upon insolvency. Such notes will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Morgan Stanley. As a finance subsidiary, MSFL has no independent operations beyond the issuance and administration of its notes and will have no independent assets available for distributions to holders of MSFL notes if they make claims in respect of the notes in a bankruptcy, resolution or similar proceeding. Accordingly, any recoveries by such holders will be limited to those available under the related guarantee by Morgan Stanley and that guarantee will rank *pari passu* with all other unsecured, unsubordinated obligations of Morgan Stanley. See "Structural Subordination; Morgan Stanley's Access to Assets Held by Subsidiaries May Be Restricted" and "Status of the MSFL Securities; Relationship with Morgan Stanley Securities" in the accompanying prospectus.

*Guarantee of MSFL Notes.* The payments due, including any property deliverable, under any notes issued by MSFL, will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Morgan Stanley. If, for any reason, MSFL does not make any required payment in respect of any of the notes,

Morgan Stanley will cause the payment to be made at the same address at which MSFL is obligated to make such payment. Morgan Stanley's guarantee of the payments due on the notes issued by MSFL will be unsecured senior obligations of Morgan Stanley. See "Description of Debt Securities—Morgan Stanley Guarantee of Debt Securities Issued by MSFL" in the accompanying prospectus.

The maturity date of the notes and the aggregate principal amount of each issue of the notes will be stated in the applicable term sheet. If any scheduled payment date, including the maturity date, is not a business day, we will make the required payment on the next business day, and no interest will accrue as a result of such delay.

The notes do not guarantee the return of principal at maturity. The notes will be payable only in U.S. dollars. Except as set forth in the applicable term sheet and as discussed below, the notes are not redeemable by us or repayable at the option of any holder. The notes are not subject to any sinking fund.

We will issue the notes in denominations of whole units. Unless otherwise set forth in the applicable term sheet, each unit will have a principal amount of $10.00. The applicable term sheet may also set forth a minimum number of units that you must purchase. The CUSIP number for each issue of the notes will be set forth in the applicable term sheet. You may transfer the notes only in whole units.

**Certain Terms of the Notes**

*Coupons.* We may issue notes that are coupon-bearing, or that do not bear coupons. We may issue notes in which the payment of coupons for one or more periods is contingent upon the occurrence of one or more specified events. For so long as the notes are held in book-entry only form, we will pay coupons to the persons in whose names the notes are registered at the close of business one business day prior to each coupon payment date. If the notes are not held in book-entry only form, the record dates will correspond to the first day of the month in which the applicable coupon payment is due. The applicable term sheet will set forth whether the notes are coupon-bearing and, if so, the applicable coupon and calculation method.

*Payment(s) on the Notes.* The amount payable at maturity, or the "**Redemption Amount**," may be determined according to one or more "**calculation days**" occurring shortly before the maturity date of the notes (such period, the "**Maturity Valuation Period**"). We may also issue notes in which coupon payments, the Redemption Amount or payment in connection with redemption of the notes is determined according to one or more "**Observation Dates**" occurring during the term of the notes. If so specified in the applicable term sheet, we may use a different term to refer to calculation days or Observation Dates. The Redemption Amount and any amounts payable in connection with redemption of the notes will be paid to the person in whose names the notes are registered on the applicable payment date or the maturity date. The applicable term sheet will provide examples of payments on the notes.

*Redemption Prior to Maturity.* If so specified in the applicable term sheet, your notes may be called prior to maturity at our option, or may be automatically called prior to maturity upon the occurrence of certain specified events, in each case in whole or in part, on the date or dates as specified in the applicable term sheet and, if called at our option, upon such notice as described under "—Issuer Notices to Registered Note Holders, the Trustee and the Depositary" below. The applicable term sheet will also set forth the manner in which any payment due upon such early redemption will be calculated. Unless otherwise set forth in the applicable term sheet, the notes are not subject to redemption at the option of the holder prior to maturity.

*Market Measure Business Days.* Unless otherwise specified in the applicable term sheet, as to any Index, a "**Market Measure Business Day**" means a day on which (1) the relevant stock exchanges with respect to the securities underlying such Index are open for trading and (2) such Index (or any successor index, as defined under "—Discontinuance of an Index" below) is calculated and published. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable term sheet, as to any Underlying Fund, a "**Market Measure Business Day**" means a day on which the securities exchange on which that Underlying Fund has its primary listing is open for trading. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable term sheet, as to any Underlying Stock, a "**Market Measure Business Day**" means a day on which trading is generally conducted (or was scheduled to have been generally conducted, but for the occurrence of a Market Disruption Event) on the New York Stock Exchange ("**NYSE**"), The Nasdaq Stock Market ("**Nasdaq**"), the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, the Chicago Board Options Exchange and in the over-the-counter market for equity securities in the United States, or any successor exchange or market, or in the case of a security traded on one or more non-U.S. securities exchanges or markets, on the principal non-U.S. securities exchange or market for such security.

*Events Relating to Observation Dates.* If a scheduled Observation Date is determined by the calculation agent not to be a Market Measure Business Day by reason of an extraordinary event, occurrence, declaration or otherwise, or, if there is a Market Disruption Event on that day, the applicable Observation Date will be the immediately succeeding Market Measure Business Day during which no Market Disruption Event occurs or is continuing; provided that the Closing Level or Closing Market Price of the applicable Index, Underlying Fund or Underlying Stock for such Observation Date will not be determined on a date later than the fifth scheduled Market Measure Business Day after the scheduled Observation Date, and if such date is not a Market Measure Business Day, or if there is a Market Disruption Event on that date, the calculation agent will determine (or, if not determinable, estimate) the Closing Level or Closing Market Price of the applicable Index, Underlying Fund or Underlying Stock for such Observation Date in a manner which the calculation agent considers commercially reasonable under the circumstances on that fifth scheduled Market Measure Business Day.

If, due to a Market Disruption Event or otherwise, a scheduled Observation Date is postponed, the applicable payment date will be postponed to the fifth business day following that Observation Date as postponed, unless otherwise specified in the applicable term sheet. No interest will accrue as a result of such delay.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a scheduled Observation Date overlaps with a calculation day during the Maturity Valuation Period and is determined by the calculation agent not to be a Market Measure Business Day by reason of an extraordinary event, occurrence, declaration or otherwise, or, if there is a Market Disruption Event on that day, such Observation Date will be postponed, and the Closing Level or the Closing Market Price of the applicable Index, Underlying Fund or Underlying Stock for such Observation Date will be determined, in accordance with the same procedures for such overlapped calculation day during the Maturity Valuation Period as described under "—Events Relating to Calculation Days" below.

For the avoidance of doubt, if your notes are linked to more than one Index, Underlying Fund or Underlying Stock, the occurrence of a Market Disruption Event or non-Market Measure Business Day as to any Index, Underlying Fund or Underlying Stock will not impact any other Index, Underlying Fund or Underlying Stock that is not so affected.

*Events Relating to Calculation Days.*

*<u>Notes with a Maturity Valuation Period which Consists of Two or More Scheduled Calculation Days</u>.* If the Maturity Valuation Period for the notes consists of two or more scheduled calculation days and, with respect to an Index, Underlying Fund or Underlying Stock, (i) a Market Disruption Event occurs on a scheduled calculation day during the Maturity Valuation Period or (ii) any scheduled calculation day is determined by the calculation agent not to be a Market Measure Business Day by reason of an extraordinary event, occurrence, declaration, or otherwise (any such day in either (i) or (ii) being a "**non-calculation day**"), the Closing Level or the Closing Market Price, as applicable, of the Index, the Underlying Fund or the Underlying Stock for the applicable non-calculation day will be the Closing Level or the Closing Market Price, as applicable, of the Index, the Underlying Fund or the Underlying Stock on the next calculation day that occurs during the Maturity Valuation Period. For example, if the first and second scheduled calculation days during the Maturity Valuation Period are non-calculation days, then the Closing Level or the Closing Market Price, as applicable, of the Index, the Underlying Fund or the Underlying Stock on the next calculation day will also be deemed to be the Closing Level or the Closing Market Price, as applicable, of the Index, the Underlying Fund or the Underlying Stock on the first and second scheduled calculation days during the Maturity Valuation Period. If no further scheduled calculation days occur after a non-calculation day, or if every scheduled calculation day after that non-calculation day is also a non-calculation day, then the Closing Level or the Closing Market Price, as applicable, of the Index, the Underlying Fund or the Underlying Stock for that non-calculation day and each following non-calculation day, if any, will be determined (or, if not determinable, estimated) by the calculation agent in a manner which the calculation agent considers commercially reasonable under the circumstances on the final scheduled calculation day during the Maturity Valuation Period, regardless of whether that final scheduled calculation day is a non-calculation day.

If, due to a Market Disruption Event or otherwise, the final scheduled calculation day is postponed, the maturity date will be postponed to the fifth business day following that final scheduled calculation day as postponed, unless otherwise specified in the applicable term sheet. No interest will accrue as a result of such delay.

For the avoidance of doubt, if your notes are linked to more than one Index, Underlying Fund or Underlying Stock, the occurrence of a Market Disruption Event or non-Market Measure Business Day as to any Index, Underlying Fund or Underlying Stock will not impact any other Index, Underlying Fund or Underlying Stock that is not so affected.

*<u>Notes with a Maturity Valuation Period which Consists of Only One Scheduled Calculation Day</u>.* If the Maturity Valuation Period for the notes consists of only one scheduled calculation day and, with respect to an Index, Underlying Fund or Underlying Stock, the scheduled calculation day is determined by the calculation agent not to be a Market Measure Business Day by reason of an extraordinary event, occurrence, declaration or otherwise, or, if there is a Market Disruption Event on that day, the calculation day will be the immediately succeeding Market Measure Business Day during which no Market Disruption Event occurs or is continuing; provided that the Closing Level or Closing Market Price, as applicable, of the Index, the Underlying Fund or the Underlying Stock for such calculation date will be determined (or, if not determinable, estimated) by the calculation agent in a manner which the calculation agent considers commercially reasonable under the circumstances on a date no later than the second scheduled Market Measure Business Day prior to the maturity date, regardless of the occurrence of a Market Disruption Event or non-Market Measure Business Day on that second scheduled Market Measure Business Day.

If, due to a Market Disruption Event or otherwise, the scheduled calculation day is postponed, the maturity date will be postponed to the fifth business day following that

scheduled calculation day as postponed, unless otherwise specified in the applicable term sheet. No interest will accrue as a result of such delay.

For the avoidance of doubt, if your notes are linked to more than one Index, Underlying Fund or Underlying Stock, the occurrence of a Market Disruption Event or non-Market Measure Business Day as to any Index, Underlying Fund or Underlying Stock will not impact any other Index, Underlying Fund or Underlying Stock that is not so affected.

**The Market Measure**

The applicable term sheet will set forth information as to the specific Market Measure, including information as to the historical values of the Market Measure or the Basket Components, as applicable. However, historical values of the Market Measure or the Basket Components are not indicative of its future performance or the performance of your notes.

An investment in the notes does not entitle you to any ownership interest in or any other rights with respect to the Market Measure or any of its underlying assets, including any voting rights, dividends paid or other distributions made, or any other rights with respect to the Market Measure, a Basket Component or their respective underlying assets.

Any information regarding any Underlying Stock or any Underlying Company will be derived from publicly available documents. Any Underlying Stock, including an ADR, will be registered under the Exchange Act. Information provided to or filed with the SEC by any Underlying Company can be located through the SEC's website, www.sec.gov. Neither we nor any of our affiliates makes any representation that such publicly available documents or any other publicly available information regarding any Underlying Company is accurate or complete.

The selection of an Underlying Stock is not a recommendation to buy or sell the Underlying Stock. Neither we nor any of our affiliates makes any representation to any purchaser of the notes as to the performance of any Underlying Stock.

**Closing Level**

**The "Closing Level" for an Index means, on any Market Measure Business Day for the relevant Index, the closing value of the Index or any successor index (as defined under "—Discontinuance of an Index" below) published at the regular weekday close of trading on that Market Measure Business Day by the publisher of an Index to which your notes are linked (an "Index Publisher"). In certain circumstances, the Closing Level will be based on the alternate calculation of the Index as described under "—Discontinuance of an Index."** 

**Closing Market Price**

The "**Closing Market Price**" for one share of an Underlying Fund or Underlying Stock (or one unit of any other security for which a Closing Market Price must be determined) on any Market Measure Business Day means any of the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· if the Underlying Fund or Underlying Stock (or such other security) is listed or admitted to trading on a U.S. national securities
exchange, the last reported sale price, regular way (or, in the case of Nasdaq, the official closing price), of the principal trading
session on that day on the principal U.S. securities exchange registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, on which
the Underlying Fund or Underlying Stock (or such other security) is listed or admitted to trading;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· if the Underlying Fund or Underlying Stock (or such other security) is not listed or admitted to trading on any U.S. national securities
exchange but is included in any other U.S. national market system, the last reported sale price, regular way, of the principal trading
session on that day on the U.S. national market system that is the primary market for the trading of that Underlying Fund or Underlying
Stock (or such other security);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· if the closing price of the Underlying Fund or Underlying Stock (or such other security) cannot be determined as set forth in the
bullet point above, and the Underlying Fund or Underlying Stock (or such other security) is listed or admitted to trading on a non-U.S.
securities exchange or market, the last reported sale price, regular way, of the principal trading session on that day on the primary
non-U.S. securities exchange or market on which the Underlying Fund or Underlying Stock (or such other security) is listed or admitted
to trading (converted to U.S. dollars using such exchange rate as the calculation agent, in its sole discretion, determines to be commercially
reasonable); or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· if the Closing Market Price cannot be determined as set forth in the prior bullets, the mean, as determined by the calculation agent,
of the bid prices for the Underlying Fund or Underlying Stock (or such other security) obtained from as many dealers in that security
(which may include us, MS & Co. and/or any of our affiliates), but not exceeding three, as will make the bid prices available to the
calculation agent. If no such bid price can be obtained, the Closing Market Price will be determined (or, if not determinable, estimated)
by the calculation agent in its sole discretion in a commercially reasonable manner.

Unless otherwise set forth in the applicable term sheet, for any applicable Market Measure Business Day under the terms of the notes, the value of an Underlying Fund or Underlying Stock will be determined by multiplying its Closing Market Price on that day by its "**Price Multiplier**." The initial Price Multiplier for an Underlying Fund or Underlying Stock will be 1, unless otherwise set forth in the applicable term sheet. The Price Multiplier for each Underlying Fund will be subject to adjustment for certain events relating to that Underlying Fund as described in "—Anti-Dilution and Discontinuance Adjustments Relating to Underlying Funds." The Price Multiplier for each Underlying Stock will be subject to adjustment for certain corporate events relating to that Underlying Stock as described in "—Anti-Dilution Adjustments Relating to Underlying Stocks."

**Market Disruption Events**

As to any Index, a "**Market Disruption Event**" means one or more of the following events, as determined by the calculation agent in its sole discretion:

(A) the suspension of or material limitation on trading, in each case, for more than two consecutive hours of trading, or during the one-half hour period preceding the close of trading, on the primary exchange where the securities included in the Index trade, as determined by the calculation agent (without taking into account any extended or after-hours trading session), in 20% or more of the securities which then comprise the Index or any successor index (as defined in "—Discontinuance of an Index");

(B) the suspension of or material limitation on trading, in each case, for more than two consecutive hours of trading, or during the one-half hour period preceding the close of trading, on the primary exchange that trades options contracts or futures contracts related to the Index, as determined by the calculation agent (without taking into account any extended or after-hours trading session), in options

|:---|:---|
|  | contracts or futures contracts related to the Index, or any successor index, whether by reason of movements in price otherwise exceeding levels permitted by the relevant exchange or otherwise; or |
| (C) | a breakdown or failure in the price and trade reporting systems of any relevant exchange as a result of which the reported trading prices for securities then constituting 20% or more of the value of the Index (or any successor index) or during the last one-half hour preceding the close of the principal trading session on such relevant exchange are materially inaccurate. |

---

For the purpose of determining whether a Market Disruption Event as to any Index has occurred:

(1) a limitation on the hours in a Market Measure Business Day and/or number of days of trading will not constitute a Market Disruption Event if it results from an announced change in the regular business hours of the relevant exchange;

(2) a decision to permanently discontinue trading in the relevant futures or options contracts related to the Index, or any successor index, will not constitute a Market Disruption Event;

(3) a suspension in trading in a futures or options contract on the Index, or any successor index, by a major securities market by reason of (a) a price change violating limits set by that securities market, (b) an imbalance of orders relating to those contracts, or (c) a disparity in bid and ask quotes relating to those contracts will constitute a suspension of or material limitation on trading in futures or options contracts related to the Index, or any successor index;

(4) a suspension of or material limitation on trading on the relevant exchange will not include any time when that exchange is closed for trading under ordinary circumstances; or

(5) if applicable to Indices with component securities listed on the NYSE, for the purpose of clause (A) above, any limitations on trading during significant market fluctuations under NYSE Rule 80B, or any applicable rule or regulation enacted or promulgated by the NYSE or any other self-regulatory organization or the SEC of similar scope as determined by the calculation agent, will be considered "material."

**As to any Underlying Fund, a "Market Disruption Event" means one or more of the following events, as determined by the calculation agent in its sole discretion:**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(A) the suspension of or material limitation on trading, in each case, for more than two consecutive hours of trading, or during the one-half
hour period preceding the close of trading, of the shares or units of the Underlying
Fund (or successor underlying fund, as defined in "—Anti-Dilution and Discontinuance Adjustments Relating to Underlying
Funds—Discontinuance of or Material Change to an Underlying Fund") on the primary exchange where such shares or units trade,
as determined by the calculation agent (without taking into account any extended or after-hours trading session);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(B) the suspension of or material limitation on trading, in each case, for more than two consecutive hours of trading, or during the one-half
hour period preceding the close of trading, on the primary exchange that trades options contracts or futures contracts related to the
shares or units of the Underlying Fund (or successor underlying fund)
as determined by the calculation agent (without taking into account

any extended or after-hours trading session), in options contracts or futures contracts related to the shares or units of the Underlying Fund;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(C) with respect to an Underlying Fund that holds equity securities, the suspension of or material limitation on trading, in each case,
for more than two consecutive hours of trading, or during the one-half hour period preceding the close of trading, on the primary exchange
where component stocks of the relevant Underlying Index (or the successor underlying index, as defined in "—Anti-Dilution
and Discontinuance Adjustments Relating to Underlying Funds—Discontinuance of or Material Change to an Underlying Fund") trade,
as determined by the calculation agent (without taking into account any extended or after-hours trading session), in 20% or more of the
stocks which then comprise the Underlying Index or any successor underlying index;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(D) the suspension of or material limitation on trading, in each case, for more than two consecutive hours of trading, or during the one-half
hour period preceding the close of trading, on the primary exchange that trades options contracts or futures contracts related to the
relevant Underlying Index (or the successor underlying index) as determined by the calculation agent (without taking into account any
extended or after-hours trading session), in options contracts or futures contracts related to the Underlying Index or any successor underlying
index; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(E) a breakdown or failure in the price and trade reporting systems of any relevant exchange for the shares or units of the Underlying
Fund as a result of which the reported trading prices for such shares or units are materially inaccurate during the last one-half hour
preceding the close of the principal trading session on such relevant exchange.

The applicable term sheet will identify, if applicable, any additions or changes to the Market Disruption Events for an Underlying Fund, including a commodity-based Underlying Fund.

For the purpose of determining whether a Market Disruption Event as to any Underlying Fund has occurred:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) a limitation on the hours in a Market Measure Business Day and/or number of days of trading will not constitute a Market Disruption
Event if it results from an announced change in the regular business hours of the relevant exchange;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) a decision to permanently discontinue trading in the shares or units of the Underlying Fund (or the successor underlying fund) or
the relevant futures or options contracts relating to such shares or units or the relevant Underlying Index (or any successor underlying
index) will not constitute a Market Disruption Event;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) a suspension in trading in a futures or options contract on the
shares or units of the Underlying Fund (or the successor underlying
fund) or the relevant Underlying Index (or any successor underlying index), by a major securities market by reason of (a) a price
change violating limits set by that securities market, (b) an imbalance of orders relating to those contracts, or (c) a disparity in bid
and ask quotes relating to those contracts, will each constitute a suspension of or material limitation on trading in futures or options
contracts relating to the Underlying Fund;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4) subject to paragraph (3) above, a suspension of or material limitation
on trading on the relevant exchange will not include any time when that exchange is closed for trading under ordinary circumstances; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(5) if applicable to an Underlying Fund or an Underlying Index with component stocks listed on the NYSE, for the purpose of clauses (A)
and (C) above, any limitations on trading during significant market fluctuations under NYSE Rule 80B, or any applicable rule or regulation
enacted or promulgated by the NYSE or any other self-regulatory organization or the SEC of similar scope as determined by the calculation
agent, will be considered "material."

As to any Underlying Stock (which, for purposes of this section includes any "successor Underlying Stock," which refers to the common equity securities or the ADRs of any Successor Entity (as defined below in "—Anti-Dilution Adjustments—Reorganization Events")), a "**Market Disruption Event**" means one or more of the following events, as determined by the calculation agent in its sole discretion:

(A) the suspension of or material limitation on trading, in each case, for more than two consecutive hours of trading, or during the one-half hour period preceding the close of trading, of the shares of the Underlying Stock on the primary exchange where such shares trade, as determined by the calculation agent (without taking into account any extended or after-hours trading session);

(B) the suspension of or material limitation on trading, in each case, for more than two consecutive hours of trading, or during the one-half hour period preceding the close of trading, in options contracts or futures contracts related to the shares of the Underlying Stock on the primary exchange that trades options contracts or futures contracts related to the shares of the Underlying Stock, as determined by the calculation agent (without taking into account any extended or after-hours trading session); or

(C) a breakdown or failure in the price and trade reporting systems of the primary market for the Underlying Stock as a result of which the reported trading prices for the Underlying Stock during the last one-half hour preceding the close of the principal trading session on such market are materially inaccurate.

For the purpose of determining whether a Market Disruption Event as to any Underlying Stock has occurred:

(1) a limitation on the hours in a Market Measure Business Day and/or number of days of trading will not constitute a Market Disruption Event if it results from an announced change in the regular business hours of the relevant exchange;

(2) a decision to permanently discontinue trading in the shares of the Underlying Stock or the relevant futures or options contracts relating to such shares will not constitute a Market Disruption Event;

(3) a suspension in trading in a futures or options contract on the shares of the Underlying Stock, by a major securities market by reason of (a) a price change violating limits set by that securities market, (b) an imbalance of orders relating to those contracts, or (c) a disparity in bid and ask quotes relating to those contracts, will each constitute a suspension of or material limitation on trading in futures or options contracts relating to the Underlying Stock;

(4) Subject to paragraph (3) above, a suspension of or material limitation on trading on the relevant exchange will not include any time when that exchange is closed for trading under ordinary circumstances; or

(5) for the purpose of clause (A) above, any limitations on trading during significant market fluctuations under NYSE Rule 80B, or any applicable rule or regulation enacted or promulgated by the NYSE or any other self-regulatory organization or the SEC of similar scope as determined by the calculation agent, will be considered "material."

**Adjustments to an Index**

After the applicable pricing date, the Index Publisher may make a material change in the method of calculating an Index or in another way that changes the Index such that it does not, in the opinion of the calculation agent, fairly represent the level of the Index had those changes or modifications not been made. In this case, the calculation agent will, at the close of business in New York, New York, on each date that the Closing Level is to be calculated, make adjustments to the Index. Those adjustments will be made in good faith as necessary to arrive at a calculation of a level of the Index as if those changes or modifications had not been made, and calculate the Closing Level of the Index, as so adjusted.

**Discontinuance of an Index**

After the applicable pricing date, an Index Publisher may discontinue publication of an Index to which an issue of the notes is linked. The Index Publisher or another entity may then publish a substitute index that the calculation agent determines, in its sole discretion, to be comparable to the original Index (a "**successor index**"). If this occurs, the calculation agent will substitute the successor index as calculated by the relevant Index Publisher or other entity and calculate the level of the Index at any time required under the terms of the notes, and, to the extent that the Closing Level of such successor index differs from the Closing Level of the discontinued Index at the time of such substitution, proportionate adjustments will be made by the calculation agent for purposes of all calculations relating to the notes. If the calculation agent selects a successor index, the calculation agent will give written notice of the selection to the Trustee, to us and to the holders of the notes.

If an Index Publisher discontinues publication of the applicable Index before the end of the Maturity Valuation Period and the calculation agent does not select a successor index, then on each relevant day that the level of the Index must be determined, until the earlier to occur of:

• the determination of final payment on the notes; and

• a determination by the calculation agent that a successor index is available,

the calculation agent will compute a substitute level for the Index in accordance with the procedures last used to calculate the Index before any discontinuance, without any rebalancing or substitution of the securities that constituted the Index immediately prior to such discontinuance. The calculation agent will make available to holders of the notes information regarding those levels by means of Bloomberg L.P., Thomson Reuters, a website, or any other means selected by the calculation agent in its reasonable discretion.

If a successor index is selected or the calculation agent calculates a level as a substitute as to any Index, the successor index or level will be used as a substitute for all purposes, including for the purpose of determining whether a Market Disruption Event exists.

Notwithstanding these alternative arrangements, any modification or discontinuance of the publication of any Index to which your notes are linked may adversely affect the value of the notes.

**Anti-Dilution and Discontinuance Adjustments Relating to Underlying Funds**

As to any Underlying Fund, the calculation agent, in its sole discretion, may adjust the Price Multiplier and any other terms of the notes if an event described below occurs after the applicable pricing date and on or before the final calculation day during the Maturity Valuation Period and if the calculation agent determines that such an event has a dilutive or concentrative effect on the theoretical value of the shares of the applicable Underlying Fund or successor underlying fund.

The Price Multiplier for an Underlying Fund resulting from any of the adjustments specified below will be rounded to the eighth decimal place with five one-billionths being rounded upward. No adjustments to the Price Multiplier will be required unless the adjustment would require a change of at least 0.1% in the Price Multiplier then in effect. Any adjustment that would require a change of less than 0.1% in the Price Multiplier which is not applied at the time of the event may be reflected at the time of any subsequent adjustment that would require an adjustment of the Price Multiplier. The required adjustments specified below do not cover all events that could affect an Underlying Fund.

No adjustments to the Price Multiplier for any Underlying Fund or any other terms of the notes will be required other than those specified below. However, the calculation agent may, at its sole discretion, make additional adjustments or adjustments that differ from those described herein to the Price Multiplier or any other terms of the notes to reflect changes to an Underlying Fund if the calculation agent determines in good faith and a commercially reasonable manner that the adjustment is appropriate to ensure an equitable result.

The calculation agent will be solely responsible for the determination of any adjustments to the Price Multiplier for any Underlying Fund or any other terms of the notes and of any related determinations with respect to any distributions of stock, other securities or other property or assets, including cash, in connection with any event described below; its determinations and calculations will be conclusive absent a determination of a manifest error.

No adjustments are required to be made for certain other events, such as offerings of equity securities by the Underlying Fund for cash or in connection with the occurrence of a partial tender or exchange offer for shares of the Underlying Fund by the Underlying Fund.

Following an event that results in an adjustment to the Price Multiplier for any Underlying Fund or any of the other terms of the notes, the calculation agent may (but is not required to) provide holders of the notes with information about that adjustment as it deems appropriate, depending on the nature of the adjustment. Upon written request by any holder of the notes, the calculation agent will provide that holder with information about such adjustment.

**<u>Anti-Dilution Adjustments</u>**

The calculation agent, in its sole discretion and as it deems reasonable, may adjust the Price Multiplier for any Underlying Fund and the other terms of the notes as a result of certain events related to an Underlying Fund, which include, but are not limited to, the following:

Share Splits and Reverse Share Splits. If an Underlying Fund is subject to a share split or reverse share split, then once such split has become effective, the Price Multiplier for that Underlying Fund will be adjusted such that the new Price Multiplier will equal the product of:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· the prior Price Multiplier; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· the number of shares or units that a holder of one share or unit of the Underlying Fund before the effective date of the share split
or reverse share split would have owned immediately following the applicable effective date.

For example, a two-for-one share split would ordinarily change a Price Multiplier of one into a Price Multiplier of two. In contrast, a one-for-two reverse share split would ordinarily change a Price Multiplier of one into a Price Multiplier of one-half.

Share Dividends. If an Underlying Fund is subject to (i) a share dividend (i.e., an issuance of additional shares or units of Underlying Fund) that is given ratably to all holders of the Underlying Fund, then, once the dividend has become effective and the Underlying Fund is trading ex-dividend, the Price Multiplier for that Underlying Fund will be adjusted on the ex-dividend date such that the new Price Multiplier will equal the prior Price Multiplier plus the product of:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· the prior Price Multiplier; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· the number of additional shares or units issued in the share dividend with respect to one share or unit of the Underlying Fund;

provided that no adjustment will be made for a share dividend for which the number of shares or units of the Underlying Fund paid or distributed is based on a fixed cash equivalent value, unless such distribution is an Extraordinary Dividend (as defined below).

For example, a share or unit dividend of one new share or unit for each share or unit held would ordinarily change a Price Multiplier of one into a Price Multiplier of two.

Extraordinary Dividends. There will be no adjustments to the Price Multiplier of an Underlying Fund to reflect any cash dividends or cash distributions paid with respect to that Underlying Fund other than Extraordinary Dividends, as defined below, and distributions described in "—Other Distributions" below and in "—Anti-Dilution and Discontinuance Adjustments Relating to Underlying Funds—Reorganization Events" below.

An "**Extraordinary Dividend**" means, with respect to a cash dividend or other distribution with respect to an Underlying Fund, a dividend or other distribution that the calculation agent determines, in its sole discretion, is not declared or otherwise made according to the relevant Underlying Fund's then existing policy or practice of paying such dividends on a quarterly or other regular basis. If an Extraordinary Dividend occurs, the Price Multiplier for that Underlying Fund will be adjusted on the ex-dividend date so that the new Price Multiplier will equal the product of:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· the prior Price Multiplier; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· a fraction, the numerator of which is the Closing Market Price per share or unit of the Underlying Fund on the Market Measure Business
Day preceding the ex-dividend date and the denominator of which is the amount by which the Closing Market Price per share or unit of the
Underlying Fund on that preceding Market Measure Business Day exceeds the Extraordinary Dividend Amount.

The "**Extraordinary Dividend Amount**" with respect to an Extraordinary Dividend will equal:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· in the case of cash dividends or other distributions that are paid as regular dividends, the amount per share or unit of the
applicable Underlying Fund of that Extraordinary Dividend minus the amount per share or unit of the immediately preceding non-Extraordinary
Dividend for that share or unit; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· in the case of cash dividends or other distributions that are not paid as regular dividends, the amount per share or unit of the applicable
Underlying Fund of that Extraordinary Dividend.

To the extent an Extraordinary Dividend is not paid in cash, the value of the non-cash component will be determined by the calculation agent, whose determination will be conclusive. A distribution on the applicable Underlying Fund described in "—Other Distributions" below and in "—Anti-Dilution and Discontinuance Adjustments Relating to Underlying Funds—Reorganization Events" below that also constitutes an Extraordinary Dividend will only cause an adjustment under those respective sections.

Other Distributions. If an Underlying Fund, after the applicable pricing date, declares or makes a distribution to all holders of the shares or units of the applicable Underlying Fund of any class of its securities (other than shares or units of the applicable Underlying Fund), evidences of its indebtedness or other non-cash assets, including, but not limited to, transferable rights and warrants, then, in each of these cases, once the distribution has become effective and the shares or units are trading ex-dividend, the Price Multiplier for such Underlying Fund will be adjusted such that the new Price Multiplier will equal the product of:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· the prior Price Multiplier; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· a fraction, the numerator of which will be the Current Market Price per share or unit of the applicable Underlying Fund, and the denominator
of which will be the Current Market Price per share or unit of the applicable Underlying Fund, less the fair market value, as determined
by the calculation agent, as of the time the adjustment is effected of the portion of the capital stock, evidences of indebtedness, rights
or warrants, or other non-cash assets so distributed or issued applicable to one share or unit of the applicable Underlying Fund.

The "**Current Market Price**" of any Underlying Fund means the arithmetic average of the Closing Market Prices of one share of such Underlying Fund for the five Market Measure Business Days prior to the Market Measure Business Day immediately preceding the ex-dividend date of the distribution requiring an adjustment to the Price Multiplier.

"**Ex-dividend date**" means the first Market Measure Business Day on which transactions in the shares or units of the Underlying Fund trade on the relevant exchange without the right to receive that cash dividend or other cash distribution.

The "**fair market value**" of any such distribution means the value of such distribution on the ex-dividend date for such distribution, as determined by the calculation agent. If such distribution consists of property traded on the ex-dividend date on a U.S. national securities exchange, the fair market value will equal the Closing Market Price of such distributed property on such ex-dividend date.

**<u>Reorganization Events</u>**

If after the pricing date and on or before the final calculation day during the Maturity Valuation Period as to any Underlying Fund, the Underlying Fund (or successor underlying fund, as defined below) has been subject to a merger, combination, consolidation, or statutory exchange of securities with another exchange traded fund, and the Underlying Fund (or successor underlying fund) is not the surviving entity, then, on or after the date of such event, the calculation agent shall, in its sole discretion, make an adjustment to the Price Multiplier for such Underlying Fund (or successor underlying fund) or any other terms of the notes as the calculation agent, in its sole discretion, determines appropriate to account for the economic effect on the notes of that event (including adjustments to account for changes in volatility, expected dividends, stock loan rate, or liquidity relevant to the Underlying Fund (or successor underlying fund) or to the notes), and determine the effective date of that adjustment. If the calculation agent determines that no adjustment that it could make will produce a commercially reasonable result, then the calculation agent may deem the Underlying Fund (or successor underlying fund) to be de-listed, liquidated, discontinued or otherwise terminated, the treatment of which is described in "—Anti-Dilution and Discontinuance Events Relating to Underlying Funds—Discontinuance of or Material Change to an Underlying Fund." For the avoidance of doubt, any adjustment will be made after the effective date of the reorganization and not on the date of the announcement or a plan or intention to effect such an event.

**<u>Discontinuance of or Material Change to an Underlying Fund</u>**

If shares or units of an Underlying Fund are de-listed from its primary securities exchange (or any other relevant exchange), liquidated or otherwise terminated, the calculation agent will substitute an exchange traded fund that the calculation agent determines, in its sole discretion, is comparable to the discontinued Underlying Fund (that exchange traded fund being referred to herein as a "**successor underlying fund**"). In that event, the calculation agent will adjust the applicable Price Multiplier, as necessary, such that the successor underlying fund closely replicates the performance of the Underlying Fund.

If an Underlying Fund (or a successor underlying fund) is de-listed, liquidated or otherwise terminated and the calculation agent determines that no adequate substitute for the Underlying Fund (or a successor underlying fund) is available, then the calculation agent will, in its sole discretion, calculate the Closing Market Price of that Underlying Fund (or a successor underlying fund) by a computation methodology that the calculation agent determines will as closely as reasonably possible replicate that Underlying Fund (or a successor underlying fund), without any rebalancing or substitution of the securities that constituted the Underlying Fund immediately prior to such discontinuance. If the calculation agent determines that no such computation methodology will produce a commercially reasonable result, then the calculation agent, in its discretion, may cause the maturity date of the notes to be accelerated as described below.

If a successor underlying fund is selected or the calculation agent calculates the Closing Market Price by a computation methodology that the calculation agent determines will as closely as reasonably possible replicate the Underlying Fund (or a successor underlying fund), that successor underlying fund or substitute computation methodology, as applicable, will be substituted for the Underlying Fund (or that successor underlying fund) for all purposes of the notes.

If at any time:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· the Underlying Index of an Underlying Fund (or the underlying index related to a successor underlying fund) is discontinued or ceases
to be published and (i) the Market Measure Publisher of the Underlying Index or another entity does not publish a successor or substitute
underlying index that the calculation agent determines, in its sole discretion, to be comparable to the Underlying Index (a "**successor underlying index**") or (ii) the Market Measure Publisher of the Underlying Fund does not announce that the Underlying Fund will
track the successor underlying index; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· an Underlying Fund (or a successor underlying fund) in any way is modified (including, but not limited to, a material change in the
investment policies, objectives or methodology of the Underlying Fund, or a material change to the related Underlying Index) so that the
Underlying Fund does not, in the opinion of the calculation agent, fairly represent the price per share or unit of that Underlying Fund
(or that successor underlying fund) had those changes or modifications not been made;

then, from and after that time, the calculation agent will make those calculations and adjustments that, in the good faith judgment of the calculation agent, may be necessary in order to arrive at a Closing Market Price of that Underlying Fund (or that successor underlying fund) as if those changes or modifications had not been made. The calculation agent also may determine that no adjustment is required. If the calculation agent determines that no such calculation or adjustment will produce a commercially reasonable result, then the calculation agent, in its discretion, may cause the maturity date of the notes to be accelerated as described below.

The calculation agent will be solely responsible for the method of calculating the Closing Market Price of the Underlying Fund (or any successor underlying fund) and of any related determinations and calculations, and its determinations and calculations with respect thereto will be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

Notwithstanding these alternative arrangements, any modification or discontinuance of the Underlying Fund or the related Underlying Index may adversely affect the value of the notes.

If the calculation agent determines that no adjustment that it could make will produce a commercially reasonable result, then the calculation agent, in its discretion, may cause the payment of the notes to be accelerated to the fifth business day (the "**date of acceleration**") following the date of that determination and the amount payable on the notes will be calculated as though the date of acceleration were the stated maturity date of the notes and as though the final calculation day during the Maturity Valuation Period were the fifth Market Measure Business Day prior to the date of acceleration. In addition, the notes will not bear a default interest rate.

**Anti-Dilution Adjustments Relating to Underlying Stocks**

As to any Underlying Stock (which, for purposes of this section includes any successor Underlying Stock), the calculation agent, in its sole discretion, may adjust the Price Multiplier and any other terms of the notes if an event described below occurs after the applicable pricing date and on or before the final calculation day during the Maturity Valuation Period and if the calculation agent determines that such an event has a dilutive or concentrative effect on the

theoretical value of the shares of the applicable Underlying Stock or successor Underlying Stock.

The Price Multiplier for an Underlying Stock resulting from any of the adjustments specified below will be rounded to the eighth decimal place with five one-billionths being rounded upward. No adjustments to the Price Multiplier will be required unless the adjustment would require a change of at least 0.1% in the Price Multiplier then in effect. Any adjustment that would require a change of less than 0.1% in the Price Multiplier which is not applied at the time of the event may be reflected at the time of any subsequent adjustment that would require an adjustment of the Price Multiplier. The required adjustments specified below do not cover all events that could affect an Underlying Stock.

No adjustments to the Price Multiplier for any Underlying Stock or any other terms of the notes will be required other than those specified below. However, the calculation agent may, at its sole discretion, make additional adjustments or adjustments that differ from those described herein to the Price Multiplier or any other terms of the notes to reflect changes to an Underlying Stock if the calculation agent determines in good faith and a commercially reasonable manner that the adjustment is appropriate to ensure an equitable result.

The calculation agent will be solely responsible for the determination of any adjustments to the Price Multiplier for any Underlying Stock or any other terms of the notes and of any related determinations with respect to any distributions of stock, other securities or other property or assets, including cash, in connection with any corporate event described below; its determinations and calculations will be conclusive absent a determination of a manifest error.

No adjustments are required to be made for certain other events, such as offerings of common equity securities by any Underlying Company for cash or in connection with the occurrence of a partial tender or exchange offer for any Underlying Stock by the Underlying Company.

Following certain corporate events relating to an Underlying Stock, where the Underlying Company is not the surviving entity, any payment you receive on the notes may be based on the equity securities of a successor to the Underlying Company or on any cash or other assets distributed to holders of the Underlying Stock in such corporate event.

Following an event that results in an adjustment to the Price Multiplier for any Underlying Stock or any of the other terms of the notes, the calculation agent may (but is not required to) provide holders of the notes with information about that adjustment as it deems appropriate, depending on the nature of the adjustment. Upon written request by any holder of the notes, the calculation agent will provide that holder with information about such adjustment.

**<u>Anti-Dilution Adjustments to Underlying Stocks that Are Common Equity</u>**

The calculation agent, in its sole discretion and as it deems reasonable, may adjust the Price Multiplier for any Underlying Stock and the other terms of the notes as a result of certain events related to an Underlying Stock, which include, but are not limited to, the following:

Stock Splits and Reverse Stock Splits. If an Underlying Stock is subject to a stock split or reverse stock split, then once such split has become effective, the Price Multiplier for that Underlying Stock will be adjusted such that the new Price Multiplier will equal the product of:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· the prior Price Multiplier; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· the number of shares that a holder of one share of the Underlying Stock before the effective date of the stock split or reverse stock
split would have owned immediately following the applicable effective date.

For example, a two-for-one stock split would ordinarily change a Price Multiplier of one into a Price Multiplier of two. In contrast, a one-for-two reverse stock split would ordinarily change a Price Multiplier of one into a Price Multiplier of one-half.

Stock Dividends. If an Underlying Stock is subject to (i) a stock dividend (i.e., an issuance of additional shares of Underlying Stock) that is given ratably to all holders of the Underlying Stock or (ii) a distribution of additional shares of the Underlying Stock as a result of the triggering of any provision of the organizational documents of the Underlying Company, then, once the dividend or distribution has become effective and the Underlying Stock is trading ex-dividend, the applicable Price Multiplier will be adjusted on the first Market Measure Business Day on which transactions in shares of the Underlying Stock trade on the relevant exchange without the right to receive an applicable dividend or other distribution (the "**ex-dividend date**") such that the new Price Multiplier will equal the prior Price Multiplier plus the product of:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· the prior Price Multiplier; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· the number of additional shares issued in the stock dividend with respect to one share of the Underlying Stock;

provided that no adjustment will be made for a stock dividend for which the number of shares of the Underlying Stock paid or distributed is based on a fixed cash equivalent value, unless such distribution is an Extraordinary Dividend (as defined below).

For example, a stock dividend of one new share for each share held would ordinarily change a Price Multiplier of one into a Price Multiplier of two.

Extraordinary Dividends. There will be no adjustments to the Price Multiplier of an Underlying Stock to reflect any cash dividends or cash distributions paid with respect to that Underlying Stock other than Extraordinary Dividends, as defined below, and distributions described in "—Reorganization Events" below.

An "**Extraordinary Dividend**" means, with respect to a cash dividend or other distribution with respect to an Underlying Stock, a dividend or other distribution that the calculation agent determines, in its sole discretion, is not declared or otherwise made according to the Underlying Company's then existing policy or practice of paying such dividends on a quarterly or other regular basis. If an Extraordinary Dividend occurs, the applicable Price Multiplier will be adjusted on the ex-dividend date so that the new Price Multiplier will equal the product of:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· the prior Price Multiplier; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· a fraction, the numerator of which is the Closing Market Price per share of the Underlying Stock on the Market Measure Business Day
preceding the ex-dividend date and the denominator of which is the amount by which the Closing Market Price per share of the Underlying
Stock on that preceding Market Measure Business Day exceeds the Extraordinary Dividend Amount.

The "**Extraordinary Dividend Amount**" with respect to an Extraordinary Dividend will equal:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· in the case of cash dividends or other distributions that are paid as regular dividends, the amount per share of the
applicable Underlying Stock of that Extraordinary Dividend minus the amount per share of the immediately preceding non-Extraordinary
Dividend for that share; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· in the case of cash dividends or other distributions that are not paid as regular dividends, the amount per share of the applicable
Underlying Stock of that Extraordinary Dividend.

To the extent an Extraordinary Dividend is not paid in cash, the value of the non-cash component will be determined by the calculation agent, whose determination will be conclusive. A distribution on the Underlying Stock described in "—Issuance of Transferable Rights or Warrants" below or clause (a), (d) or (e) of the section entitled "—Reorganization Events" below that also constitutes an Extraordinary Dividend will only cause an adjustment under those respective sections.

*Issuance of Transferable Rights or Warrants.* If an Underlying Company issues to all holders of record of the Underlying Stock transferable rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase the Underlying Stock, including new or existing rights to purchase the Underlying Stock under a shareholder rights plan or arrangement, then the applicable Price Multiplier will be adjusted on the Market Measure Business Day immediately following the issuance of those transferable rights or warrants so that the new Price Multiplier will equal the prior Price Multiplier plus the product of:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· the prior Price Multiplier; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· the number of shares of the Underlying Stock that can be purchased with the cash value of those
warrants or rights distributed on one share of the Underlying Stock.

The number of shares that can be purchased will be based on the Closing Market Price of the Underlying Stock on the date the new Price Multiplier is determined. The cash value of those warrants or rights, if the warrants or rights are traded on a registered national securities exchange, will equal the closing price of that warrant or right. If the warrants or rights are not traded on a registered national securities exchange, the cash value will be determined by the calculation agent and will equal the average of the bid prices obtained from three dealers at 3:00 p.m., New York time on the date the new Price Multiplier is determined, provided that if only two of those bid prices are available, then the cash value of those warrants or rights will equal the average of those bids and if only one of those bids is available, then the cash value of those warrants or rights will equal that bid.

***<u>Reorganization Events</u>***

If after the pricing date and on or prior to the final calculation day during the Maturity Valuation Period, as to any Underlying Stock:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) there occurs any reclassification or change of the Underlying Stock, including, without limitation, as a result of the issuance of tracking stock by the Underlying Company;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) the Underlying Company, or any surviving entity or subsequent surviving entity of the Underlying Company (a "**Successor Entity** "), has been subject to a merger, combination, or consolidation and is not the surviving entity;

(c) any statutory exchange of securities of the Underlying Company or any Successor Entity with another corporation occurs, other than under clause (b) above;

(d) the Underlying Company is liquidated or is subject to a proceeding under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, or other similar law;

(e) the Underlying Company issues to all of its shareholders securities of an issuer other than the Underlying Company, including equity securities of an affiliate of the Underlying Company, other than in a transaction described in clauses (b), (c), or (d) above;

(f) a tender or exchange offer or going-private transaction is consummated for all the outstanding shares of the Underlying Company;

(g) there occurs any reclassification or change of the Underlying Stock that results in a transfer or an irrevocable commitment to transfer all such outstanding shares of the Underlying Stock to another entity or person;

(h) the Underlying Company or any Successor Entity is the surviving entity of a merger, combination, or consolidation, that results in the outstanding Underlying Stock (other than Underlying Stock owned or controlled by the other party to such transaction) immediately prior to such event collectively representing less than 50% of the outstanding Underlying Stock immediately following such event; or

(i) the Underlying Company ceases to file the financial and other information with the SEC in accordance with Section 13(a) of the Exchange Act

(an event in clauses (a) through (i), a "**Reorganization Event**"), then, on or after the date of the occurrence of a Reorganization Event, the calculation agent shall, in its sole discretion, make an adjustment to the Price Multiplier or any other terms of the notes as the calculation agent, in its sole discretion, determines appropriate to account for the economic effect on the notes of that Reorganization Event (including adjustments to account for changes in volatility, expected dividends, stock loan rate, or liquidity relevant to the Underlying Stock or to the notes), which may, but need not, be determined by reference to the adjustment(s) made in respect of such Reorganization Event by an options exchange to options on the relevant Underlying Stock traded on that options exchange, and determine the effective date of that adjustment. For the avoidance of doubt, any adjustment will be made on or after the effective date of the Reorganization Event and not on the date of the announcement of a plan or intention to effect such an event.

If the calculation agent determines that no adjustment that it could make will produce a commercially reasonable result, then the calculation agent, in its discretion, may cause the maturity date of the notes to be accelerated to the fifth business day following the date of that determination and the amount payable on the notes will be calculated as though the date of acceleration were the stated maturity date of the notes and as though the final calculation day during the Maturity Valuation Period were the fifth Market Measure Business Day prior to the date of acceleration. In addition, the notes will not bear a default interest rate.

If the Underlying Company ceases to file the financial and other information with the SEC in accordance with Section 13(a) of the Exchange Act, as contemplated by clause (i) above, and the calculation agent determines in its sole discretion that sufficiently similar information is not otherwise available to you, then the calculation agent may cause the maturity date of the notes to be accelerated to the fifth business day following the date of that determination and the amount payable on the notes will be calculated as if the date of acceleration were the stated maturity date of the notes and as if the final calculation day during the Maturity Valuation Period were the fifth Market Measure Business Day prior to the date of acceleration. In addition, the notes will not bear a default interest rate. If the calculation agent determines that sufficiently similar information is available to you, the Reorganization Event will be deemed to have not occurred.

**<u>Anti-Dilution Adjustments to Underlying Stocks that Are ADRs</u>**

For purposes of the anti-dilution adjustments set forth above, if an Underlying Stock is an ADR (an "**Underlying ADR**"), the calculation agent will consider the effect of any of the relevant events on the Underlying ADR, and adjustments will be made, as if the Underlying ADR was the Underlying Stock described above. For example, if the stock represented by the Underlying ADR is subject to a two-for-one stock split, and assuming an initial Price Multiplier of 1, the Price Multiplier for the Underlying ADR would be adjusted so that it equals two. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable term sheet, with respect to the notes linked to an Underlying ADR (or an Underlying Stock issued by a non-U.S. Underlying Company), the term "dividend" means the dividends paid to holders of the Underlying ADR (or the Underlying Stock issued by the non-U.S. Underlying Company), and such dividends may reflect the netting of any applicable foreign withholding or similar taxes that may be due on dividends paid to a U.S. person.

The calculation agent may determine not to make an adjustment if:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(A) holders of the Underlying ADR are not eligible to participate in any of the events that would
otherwise require anti-dilution adjustments as set forth above if the notes had been linked directly to the common shares of the Underlying
Company represented by the Underlying ADR; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(B) to the extent that the calculation agent determines that the Underlying Company or the depositary
for the ADRs has adjusted the number of common shares of the Underlying Company represented by each share of the Underlying ADR, so that
the market price of the Underlying ADR would not be affected by the corporate event.

If the Underlying Company or the depositary for the ADRs, in the absence of any of the events described above, elects to adjust the number of common shares of the Underlying Company represented by each share of the Underlying ADR, then the calculation agent may make the appropriate anti-dilution adjustments to reflect such change. The depositary for the ADRs may also make adjustments in respect of the ADRs for share distributions, rights distributions, cash distributions and distributions other than shares, rights, and cash. Upon any such adjustment by the depositary, the calculation agent may adjust the Price Multiplier or other terms of the notes as the calculation agent determines commercially reasonable to account for that event.

**<u>Alternative Anti-Dilution and Reorganization Adjustments</u>**

The calculation agent may elect at its discretion to not make any of the adjustments to the Price Multiplier for any Underlying Stock or to the other terms of the notes, including the

method of determining the Redemption Amount, described in this section, but may instead make adjustments, in its discretion, to the Price Multiplier for any Underlying Stock or any other terms of the notes that will reflect the adjustments to the extent practicable made by the Options Clearing Corporation on options contracts on an Underlying Stock or any successor common stock. For example, if an Underlying Stock is subject to a two-for-one stock split, and the Options Clearing Corporation adjusts the strike prices of the options contract on that Underlying Stock by dividing the strike price by two, then the calculation agent may also elect to divide the Starting Value by two. In this case, the Price Multiplier will remain one. This adjustment would have the same economic effect on holders of the notes as if the Price Multiplier had been adjusted.

**Delisting of ADRs or Termination of ADR Facility**

If an Underlying ADR is no longer listed or admitted to trading on a U.S. securities exchange registered under the Exchange Act or included in the OTC Bulletin Board Service operated by FINRA, or if the ADR facility between the Underlying Company and the ADR depositary is terminated for any reason, then, on and after the date that the Underlying ADR is no longer so listed or admitted to trading or the date of such termination, as applicable (the "**termination date**"), the Underlying Stock will be deemed to be the Underlying Company's common equity securities rather than the Underlying ADR. The calculation agent will determine the price of the Underlying Stock by reference to those common shares. Under such circumstances, the calculation agent may modify any terms of the notes as it deems necessary, in its sole discretion, to ensure an equitable result. On and after the termination date, for all purposes, the Closing Market Price of the Underlying Company's common shares on their primary exchange will be converted to U.S. dollars using such exchange rate as the calculation agent, in its sole discretion, determines to be commercially reasonable.

**Delisting of an Underlying Stock or Nationalization of an Underlying Company**

If a non-U.S. equity security serving as an Underlying Stock with a relevant exchange located outside the United States (an "**Original Foreign Underlying Stock**") is no longer listed or admitted to trading on a securities exchange (a "**Delisting Event**"), or if the issuer of an Original Foreign Underlying Stock is nationalized (a "**Nationalization Event**"), the calculation agent, in its sole discretion, may either:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) select a Successor Foreign Underlying Stock (as defined below) to that non-U.S. equity security after the close of the principal trading
session on the Market Measure Business Day immediately prior to the effective date of the Delisting Event or Nationalization Event, as
applicable (the effective date of the Delisting Event or Nationalization Event, as applicable, the "**Change Date** "),
in accordance with the provisions of this section (each successor stock as so selected, a "**Successor Foreign Underlying Stock** "
and each issuer of that Successor Foreign Underlying Stock, a "**Successor Foreign Underlying Stock Issuer** "); or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) on and after the Change Date, (i) deem the closing price and, if applicable, the trading price of that Original Foreign Underlying
Stock on each day to be the closing price of that Original Foreign Underlying Stock on the Market Measure Business Day immediately prior
to the Change Date and (ii) deem the Price Multiplier of that Original Foreign Underlying Stock on each day to be the Price Multiplier
of that Original Foreign Underlying Stock on the Market Measure Business Day immediately prior to the Change Date.

Upon the selection of any Successor Foreign Underlying Stock by the calculation agent as described above, then on and after the Change Date:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) references in this product supplement or the applicable term sheet to the applicable "Underlying Stock" will no longer
refer to the Original Foreign Underlying Stock and will be deemed instead to refer to that Successor Foreign Underlying Stock for all
purposes;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) references in this product supplement or the applicable term sheet to "issuer" (the Underlying Company) of the Original
Foreign Underlying Stock will be deemed to be to the applicable Successor Foreign Underlying Stock Issuer for all purposes;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) the relevant Starting Value or similar price for that Successor Foreign Underlying Stock will be determined by the calculation agent
in a manner that it determines to be commercially reasonable; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) the Price Multiplier for that Successor Foreign Underlying Stock will be an amount as determined by
the calculation in good faith as of the Change Date, taking into account, among other things, the closing price of the Original Foreign
Underlying Stock on the Market Measure Business Day immediately preceding the Change Date, subject to adjustment for certain corporate
events related to that Successor Foreign Underlying Stock described in "—Anti-Dilution Adjustments."

The "**Successor Foreign Underlying Stock**" with respect to the Underlying Stock will be the common stock of a company organized in, or with its principal executive office located in, the country in which the issuer of the Original Foreign Underlying Stock is organized or has its principal executive office, selected by the calculation agent from among the common stocks of three companies then listed on a non-U.S. securities exchange that are not the Original Foreign Underlying Stock, with the three largest market capitalizations within the same industry as the issuer of the Original Foreign Underlying Stock that also have an equity security that is listed and traded on a national securities exchange in the United States or the primary non-U.S. securities exchange or market for the Original Foreign Underlying Stock that, in the sole discretion of the calculation agent, is the most comparable to the Original Foreign Underlying Stock (prior to the Change Date), taking into account factors such as the calculation agent deems relevant, including, without limitation, dividend history and stock price volatility; provided, however, that a Successor Foreign Underlying Stock will not be any stock that is subject to a trading restriction under the trading restriction policies of MSFL, Morgan Stanley or any of their affiliates that would materially limit the ability of MSFL or any of its affiliates to hedge the notes with respect to that stock.

The calculation agent will provide information as to any Successor Foreign Underlying Stock upon written request by any holder of the notes.

**Baskets**

If the Market Measure to which your notes are linked includes a Basket, the Basket Components and if necessary, the definition of Market Measure Business Day will be set forth in the applicable term sheet. We will assign each Basket Component a weighting (the "**Initial Component Weight**") so that each Basket Component represents a percentage of the value of the Basket on the pricing date. The Basket Components may or may not have equal Initial Component Weights, as set forth in the applicable term sheet.

**<u>Determination of the Component Ratio for Each Basket Component</u>**

The value of the Basket on the pricing date will be equal to 100. We will set a fixed factor (the "**Component Ratio**") for each Basket Component on the applicable pricing date, based on the weighting of that Basket Component. The Component Ratio for each Basket Component will equal:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· the Initial Component Weight (expressed as a percentage) for that Basket Component, multiplied by 100; *divided by* 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· the Closing Level or the Closing Market Price, as applicable, of that Basket Component on the applicable pricing date.

Each Component Ratio will be rounded to eight decimal places.

The Component Ratios will be calculated in this way so that the value of the Basket will equal 100 on the applicable pricing date. The Component Ratios will not be revised subsequent to their determination on the applicable pricing date, except that the calculation agent may in its good faith judgment adjust the Component Ratio of any Basket Component in the event that Basket Component is materially changed or modified in a manner that does not, in the opinion of the calculation agent, fairly represent the value of that Basket Component had those material changes or modifications not been made.

The following table is for illustrative purposes only, and does not reflect the actual composition, Initial Component Weights, or Component Ratios of a Basket, all of which will be set forth in the applicable term sheet.

Example: The **hypothetical** Basket Components are Underlying Fund ABC, Index XYZ, and Index RST, with their Initial Component Weights being 50.00%, 25.00% and 25.00%, respectively, on a **hypothetical** pricing date:

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **Basket Component**  | **Initial Component<br> Weight**  | **Hypothetical Closing<br> Level or Closing Market Price<sup>(1)</sup>**  | **Hypothetical<br> Component Ratio<sup>(2)</sup>**  | **Initial Basket<br> Value<br> Contribution**  |
| Underlying Fund ABC | 50.00% | 500.00 | 0.10000000 | 50.00 |
| Index XYZ | 25.00% | 2420.00 | 0.01033058 | 25.00 |
| Index RST | 25.00% | 1014.00 | 0.02465483 | <u>25.00</u> |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Value of the Basket on the pricing date | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Value of the Basket on the pricing date | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Value of the Basket on the pricing date | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Value of the Basket on the pricing date | 100.00 |

---

------

(1) This column sets forth the **hypothetical** Closing Level or Closing Market Price, as applicable, of each Basket Component on the **hypothetical** pricing date.

(2) The **hypothetical** Component Ratio for each Basket Component equals its Initial Component Weight (expressed as a percentage) multiplied by 100, and then divided by the **hypothetical** Closing Level or Closing Market Price, as applicable, of that Basket Component on the **hypothetical** pricing date, with the result rounded to eight decimal

places.

Unless otherwise stated in the applicable term sheet, if a Market Disruption Event occurs on the applicable pricing date as to any Basket Component or the pricing date is determined by the calculation agent not to be a Market Measure Business Day for any Basket Component by reason of an extraordinary event, occurrence, declaration or otherwise, the calculation agent will establish the Closing Level or the Closing Market Price, as applicable, of that Basket Component (the "**Basket Component Closing Level**"), and thus its Component Ratio, based on the Closing Level or the Closing Market Price, as applicable, of that Basket Component on the first Market Measure Business Day following the pricing date on which no Market Disruption Event occurs for that Basket Component. In the event that a Market Disruption Event or non-Market Measure Business Day occurs for that Basket Component on the pricing date and on each scheduled Market Measure Business Day thereafter to and including the second scheduled Market Measure Business Day following the pricing date, the calculation agent (not later than the close of business in New York, New York on the second scheduled Market Measure Business Day following the pricing date) will estimate the Basket Component Closing Level, and thus the applicable Component Ratio, in a manner that the calculation agent considers commercially reasonable. The final term sheet will provide the Basket Component Closing Level, a brief statement of the facts relating to the establishment of the Basket Component Closing Level (including the applicable Market Disruption Event(s)), and the applicable Component Ratio.

For purposes of determining whether a Market Disruption Event has occurred as to any Basket Component, "Market Disruption Event" will have the meaning set forth in "—Market Disruption Events."

**<u>Value of the Basket</u>**

The calculation agent will calculate the value of the Basket for an applicable day by summing the products of the Closing Level or the Closing Market Price, as applicable, of each Basket Component on such day (multiplied by its Price Multiplier on such day, if applicable) multiplied by the Component Ratio for that Basket Component. The value of the Basket will vary based on the increase or decrease in the value of each Basket Component. Any increase in the value of a Basket Component (assuming no change in the value of the other Basket Component or Basket Components) will result in an increase in the value of the Basket. Conversely, any decrease in the value of a Basket Component (assuming no change in the value of the other Basket Component or Basket Components) will result in a decrease in the value of the Basket.

Unless otherwise specified in the applicable term sheet, if, for any Basket Component (an "**Affected Basket Component**"), (i) a Market Disruption Event occurs on a scheduled Observation Date or calculation day during the Maturity Valuation Period or (ii) any such date is determined by the calculation agent not to be a Market Measure Business Day by reason of an extraordinary event, occurrence, declaration, or otherwise (any such day in either (i) or (ii) being a "**non-calculation day**"), the calculation agent will determine the Closing Levels or the Closing Market Prices, as applicable, of the Basket Components for such non-calculation day, as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· The Closing Level or the Closing Market Price, as applicable, of each Basket Component that is not an Affected Basket Component will
be its Closing Level or the Closing Market Price, as applicable, on such non-calculation day.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· The Closing Level or the Closing Market Price, as applicable, of each Basket Component that is an Affected Basket Component for the
applicable non-calculation day will be determined in the same manner as described in "—Certain Terms of the Notes—Events
Relating to Observation Dates" and "—Certain Terms of the Notes—Events Relating to Calculation Days" as
applicable, provided that references to "Closing Level" or "Closing Market Price" will be deemed to be references
to the Closing Level or Closing Market Price of the applicable Basket Component.

For purposes of determining whether a Market Disruption Event has occurred as to any Basket Component, "Market Disruption Event" will have the meaning stated above in "—Market Disruption Events."

**Role of the Calculation Agent**

The calculation agent has the sole discretion to make all determinations regarding the notes as described in this product supplement, including determinations regarding payments on the notes, the Price Multiplier, the Market Measure, any Market Disruption Events, a successor Index, successor underlying fund or successor Underlying Stock, Market Measure Business Days, business days, calculation days, non-calculation days, any anti-dilution adjustments, and determinations related to any adjustments to, or discontinuance of, any Index or Underlying Fund. In making these determinations, the calculation agent may be required to exercise discretion and make subjective judgments (as described under "Risk Factors – There may be potential conflicts of interest involving the calculation agent, which is an affiliate of ours. We have the right to appoint and remove the calculation agent" herein). Absent manifest error, all determinations of the calculation agent will be conclusive for all purposes and final and binding on you, the Trustee and us, without any liability on the part of the calculation agent.

Except as described in the following paragraph with respect to notes linked to a basket of Market Measures, all calculations with respect to the Redemption Amount, if any, will be rounded to the nearest one hundred-thousandth, with five one-millionths rounded upward (e.g., .876545 would be rounded to .87655); all dollar amounts related to determination of the amount of cash payable per note will be rounded to the nearest ten-thousandth, with five one hundred-thousandths rounded upward (e.g., .76545 would be rounded up to .7655); and all dollar amounts paid on the aggregate number of notes will be rounded to the nearest cent, with one-half cent rounded upward.

With respect to notes linked to a basket of Market Measures, all calculations with respect to the Redemption Amount, if any, will be rounded to the nearest one billionth, with five ten-billionths rounded upward (e.g., .9876543215 would be rounded to .987654322); all dollar amounts related to determination of the amount of cash payable per note will be rounded to the nearest ten-thousandth, with five one hundred-thousandths rounded upward (e.g., .76545 would be rounded up to .7655); and all dollar amounts paid on the aggregate number of notes will be rounded to the nearest cent, with one-half cent rounded upward.

We expect to appoint MS & Co. or one of its affiliates as the calculation agent for each issue of the notes. However, we may change the calculation agent at any time without notifying you. The identity of the calculation agent will be set forth in the applicable term sheet.

Because the calculation agent is our affiliate, the economic interests of the calculation agent and its affiliates may be adverse to your interests as an owner of the notes, including

with respect to certain determinations and judgments that the calculation agent must make. See "—Market Disruption Events," "—Discontinuance of an Index," "—Adjustments to an Index," "—Anti-Dilution and Discontinuance Adjustments Relating to Underlying Funds" and "—Anti-Dilution Adjustments Relating to Underlying Stocks" as applicable. The calculation agent is obligated to carry out its duties and functions in good faith and using its reasonable judgment.

**Same-Day Settlement and Payment**

The notes will be delivered in book-entry form only through The Depository Trust Company against payment by purchasers of the notes in immediately available funds. We will pay the amounts payable on the notes in immediately available funds so long as the notes are maintained in book-entry form.

**Alternate Exchange Calculation in Case of an Event of Default**

If an event of default (as defined in the accompanying prospectus) with respect to any issuance of notes shall have occurred and be continuing, the amount declared due and payable upon any acceleration of such notes (the "Acceleration Amount") will be an amount, determined by the calculation agent in its sole discretion, that is equal to the cost of having a qualified financial institution, of the kind and selected as described below, expressly assume all our payment and other obligations with respect to the notes as of that day and as if no default or acceleration had occurred, or to undertake other obligations providing substantially equivalent economic value to you with respect to the notes. That cost will equal:

● the lowest amount that a qualified financial institution would charge to effect this assumption or undertaking, plus

● the reasonable expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred by the holders of the notes in preparing any documentation necessary for this assumption or undertaking.

During the default quotation period for the notes, which we describe below, the holders of the notes and/or we may request a qualified financial institution to provide a quotation of the amount it would charge to effect this assumption or undertaking. If either party obtains a quotation, it must notify the other party in writing of the quotation. The amount referred to in the first bullet point above will equal the lowest—or, if there is only one, the only—quotation obtained, and as to which notice is so given, during the default quotation period. With respect to any quotation, however, the party not obtaining the quotation may object, on reasonable and significant grounds, to the assumption or undertaking by the qualified financial institution providing the quotation and notify the other party in writing of those grounds within two business days after the last day of the default quotation period, in which case that quotation will be disregarded in determining the Acceleration Amount.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a voluntary or involuntary liquidation, bankruptcy or insolvency of, or any analogous proceeding is filed with respect to the relevant issuer, then depending on applicable bankruptcy law, your claim may be limited to an amount that could be less than the Acceleration Amount.

If the maturity of the notes is accelerated because of an event of default as described above, we shall, or shall cause the calculation agent to, provide written notice to the Trustee at its New York office, on which notice the Trustee may conclusively rely, and to The Depository Trust Company (the "depositary") of the Acceleration Amount due with respect to the notes as

promptly as possible and in no event later than two business days after the date of such acceleration.

*Default Quotation Period*

The default quotation period is the period beginning on the day the Acceleration Amount first becomes due and ending on the third business day after that day, unless:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· no quotation of the kind referred to above is obtained, or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· every quotation of that kind obtained is objected to within five business days after the due date as described above.

If either of these two events occurs, the default quotation period will continue until the third business day after the first business day on which prompt notice of a quotation is given as described above. If that quotation is objected to as described above within five business days after that first business day, however, the default quotation period will continue as described in the prior sentence and this sentence.

In any event, if the default quotation period and the subsequent two business day objection period have not ended before the end of the Maturity Valuation Period, then the Acceleration Amount will equal the principal amount of the notes.

*Qualified Financial Institutions*

For the purpose of determining the Acceleration Amount at any time, a qualified financial institution must be a financial institution organized under the laws of any jurisdiction in the United States or Europe, which at that time has outstanding debt obligations with a stated maturity of one year or less from the date of issue and rated either:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· A-2 or higher by Standard & Poor's Ratings Services or any successor, or any other comparable rating then used by that rating
agency, or

**Issuer Notices to Registered Note Holders, the Trustee and the Depositary**

In the event that a call payment date, as applicable, or the maturity date is postponed due to postponement of the relevant Observation Date or calculation day, the issuer shall give notice of such postponement and, once it has been determined, of the date to which such call payment date, as applicable, or the maturity date, as applicable, has been rescheduled (i) to each registered holder of the notes by mailing notice of such postponement by first class mail, postage prepaid, to such registered holder's last address as it shall appear upon the registry books, (ii) to the Trustee by facsimile, confirmed by mailing such notice to the Trustee by first class mail, postage prepaid, at its New York office and (iii) to the depositary by telephone or facsimile confirmed by mailing such notice to the depositary by first class mail, postage prepaid. Any notice that is mailed to a registered holder of the notes in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given to such registered holder, whether or not such registered holder receives the notice. The issuer shall give such notice as promptly as possible, and in no case later than (i) with respect to notice of postponement of the call payment date or the maturity date, as applicable, the business day immediately preceding the scheduled call payment date or maturity date, as applicable, and (ii) with respect to notice

of the date to which the call payment date or the maturity date, as applicable, has been rescheduled, the business day immediately following the relevant Observation Date or calculation day as postponed.

In the event that the notes are subject to automatic call, the issuer shall, (i) on the business day following the applicable calculation day, give notice of the automatic call of the notes, including specifying the payment date of the applicable amount due upon the automatic call, (x) to each registered holder of the notes by mailing notice of such automatic call by first class mail, postage prepaid, to such registered holder's last address as it shall appear upon the registry books, (y) to the Trustee by facsimile confirmed by mailing such notice to the Trustee by first class mail, postage prepaid, at its New York office and (z) to the depositary by telephone or facsimile confirmed by mailing such notice to the depositary by first class mail, postage prepaid and (ii) on or prior to the call payment date, deliver the aggregate cash amount due with respect to the notes to the Trustee for delivery to the depositary, as holder of the notes. Any notice that is mailed to a registered holder of the notes in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given to such registered holder, whether or not such registered holder receives the notice. This notice shall be given by the issuer or, at the issuer's request, by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the issuer, with any such request to be accompanied by a copy of the notice to be given.

The issuer shall, or shall cause the calculation agent to, (i) provide written notice to the Trustee, on which notice the Trustee may conclusively rely, and to the depositary of the amount of cash to be delivered as a coupon payment, if any is applicable, with respect to each note on or prior to 10:30 a.m. (New York City time) on the business day preceding each coupon payment date, if any, and (ii) deliver the aggregate cash amount due, if any, with respect to any applicable coupon payment to the Trustee for delivery to the depositary, as holder of the notes, on the applicable coupon payment date.

The issuer shall, or shall cause the calculation agent to, (i) provide written notice to the Trustee, on which notice the Trustee may conclusively rely, and to the depositary of the amount of cash, if any, to be delivered with respect to each principal amount of the notes, on or prior to 10:30 a.m. (New York City time) on the business day preceding the maturity date, and (ii) deliver the aggregate cash amount due with respect to the notes, if any, to the Trustee for delivery to the depositary, as holder of the notes, on the maturity date.

**Listing**

Unless otherwise specified in the applicable term sheet, the notes will not be listed on a securities exchange.

**PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION; CONFLICTS OF INTEREST**

We are offering the notes as part of Morgan Stanley's Series I medium-term notes or MSFL's Series A medium-term notes, as applicable. We are offering these notes on a continuing basis through MS & Co. along with other agents, and together "the agents," who have, or will have, agreed to use reasonable efforts to solicit offers to purchase the notes. We will have the sole right to accept offers to purchase the notes and may reject any offer in whole or in part. The agents may reject, in whole or in part, any offer they solicited to purchase the notes. We will pay the agents, in connection with sales of the notes resulting from a solicitation the agent made or an offer to purchase the agent received, a commission that will be specified in the applicable term sheet.

Unless otherwise provided in the applicable term sheet, we do not intend to apply for the listing of the notes on a national securities exchange. The agents may make a market in the notes as applicable laws and regulations permit. The agents are not obligated to do so, however, and the agents may discontinue making a market at any time without notice. No assurance can be given as to the liquidity of any trading market for the notes.

MS & Co. is a wholly owned subsidiary of Morgan Stanley and an affiliate of MSFL, and it and other subsidiaries of Morgan Stanley and affiliates of MSFL expect to make a profit by selling, structuring and, when applicable, hedging the notes. When MS & Co. prices an offering of notes, it will determine the economic terms for such notes such that for each note the estimated value on the pricing date will be no lower than the pre-determined minimum level set forth and described in the applicable term sheet.

The applicable agent will conduct each offering of the notes in compliance with the requirements of the FINRA Rule 5121 regarding a FINRA member firm's distributing the securities of an affiliate and related conflicts of interest. In accordance with FINRA Rule 5121, no agent or dealer that is an affiliate of ours will make sales in this offering to any discretionary account without the prior written approval of the customer. Following the initial distribution of the notes, the agent may offer and sell those notes in the course of its business as a broker-dealer. The agent may act as principal or agent in those transactions and will make any sales at varying prices related to prevailing market prices at the time of sale or otherwise. The agent may use this product supplement in connection with any of those transactions. The agent is not obligated to make a market in any of the notes and may cease to make a market at any time without notice.

With respect to each issuance of notes, we expect to deliver the notes against payment therefor in New York, New York on the original issue date (settlement date) specified in the applicable term sheet. Under Rule 15c6-1 of the Exchange Act, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in one business day, unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, if the original issue date for any issuance of notes is more than one business day after the pricing date, purchasers who wish to trade the notes more than one business day prior to the original issue date will be required to specify alternative settlement arrangements to prevent a failed settlement.

This product supplement, any accompanying index supplement, the accompanying prospectus and any related term sheet are not a prospectus for the purposes of Regulation (EU) 2017/1129, as amended (the "Prospectus Regulation"). This product supplement, any accompanying index supplement, the accompanying prospectus and any related term sheet have been prepared on the basis that any offer of notes in any Member State of the European Economic Area (the "EEA") will only be made to a legal entity which is a qualified investor under the Prospectus Regulation (each, an "EEA Qualified Investor"). Accordingly, any person

making or intending to make an offer in any Member State of the EEA of notes which are the subject of the offering contemplated in this product supplement, any accompanying index supplement, the accompanying prospectus and any related term sheet may only do so with respect to EEA Qualified Investors. Neither we nor the agent have authorized, nor do they authorize, the making of any offer of notes in the EEA other than to EEA Qualified Investors.

**PROHIBITION OF SALES TO EEA RETAIL INVESTORS** – The notes are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available to and should not be offered, sold or otherwise made available to any retail investor in the EEA. For these purposes, (a) a "retail investor" means a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail client as defined in point (11) of Article 4(1) of Directive 2014/65/EU, as amended ("MiFID II"); or (ii) a customer within the meaning of Directive (EU) 2016/97, as amended, where that customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II; or (iii) not an EEA Qualified Investor; and (b) the expression "offer" includes the communication in any form and by any means of sufficient information on the terms of the offer and the notes to be offered so as to enable an investor to decide to purchase or subscribe for the notes. Consequently, no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014, as amended (the "PRIIPs Regulation") for offering or selling the notes or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the EEA has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the notes or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the EEA may be unlawful under the PRIIPs Regulation.

The agent has represented and agreed, and each further agent, dealer and underwriter appointed under this program will be required to represent and agree, that it has not offered, sold or otherwise made available and will not offer, sell or otherwise make available any notes which are the subject of the offering contemplated by this product supplement in relation thereto to any retail investor in the EEA.

This product supplement, any accompanying index supplement, the accompanying prospectus and any related term sheet have been prepared on the basis that any offer of notes in the United Kingdom will only be made to a legal entity which is a qualified investor as defined in paragraph 15 of Schedule 1 to the United Kingdom's Public Offers and Admissions to Trading Regulations 2024 (each, a "UK Qualified Investor"). Accordingly, any person making or intending to make an offer in the United Kingdom of notes which are the subject of the offering contemplated in this product supplement, any accompanying index supplement, the accompanying prospectus and any related term sheet may only do so with respect to UK Qualified Investors. Neither we nor the agent have authorized, nor do they authorize, the making of any offer of notes in the United Kingdom other than to UK Qualified Investors.

**PROHIBITION OF SALES TO UNITED KINGDOM RETAIL INVESTORS** – The notes are not intended to be offered, sold, distributed or otherwise made available to and should not be offered, sold, distributed or otherwise made available to any retail investor in the United Kingdom. For these purposes, (a) a "retail investor" means a person who is either one (or both) of the following: (i) not a professional client, as defined in point (8) of Article 2(1) of Regulation (EU) No 600/2014 as it forms part of domestic law in the United Kingdom; or (ii) not a UK Qualified Investor; and (b) the expression "offer" includes the communication in any form and by any means of sufficient information on the terms of the offer and the notes to be offered so as to enable an investor to decide to buy or subscribe for the notes. Consequently, no disclosure document required by the FCA Product Disclosure Sourcebook ("DISC") for offering, selling or distributing the notes or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the United Kingdom has been prepared and therefore offering, selling or distributing the notes or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the United Kingdom may be unlawful under DISC and the Consumer Composite Investments (Designated Activities) Regulations 2024.

The agent has represented and agreed, and each further agent, dealer and underwriter appointed under this program will be required to represent and agree, that it has not offered, sold, distributed or otherwise made available and will not offer, sell, distribute or otherwise make available any notes which are the subject of the offering contemplated by this product supplement in relation thereto to any retail investor in the United Kingdom.

The agent has represented and agreed, and each further agent, dealer and underwriter appointed under this program will be required to represent and agree, that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) In relation to any notes which have a maturity of less than one year, (i) it is a person whose ordinary activities involve it in acquiring,
holding, managing or disposing of investments (as principal or agent) for the purposes of its business and (ii) it has not be offered
or sold and will not offer or sell any notes other than to persons whose ordinary activities involve them in acquiring, holding, managing
or disposing of investments (as principal or as agent) for the purposes of their businesses or who it is reasonable to expect will acquire,
hold, manage or dispose of investments (as principal or agent) for the purposes of their businesses where the issue of the notes would
otherwise constitute a contravention of Section 19 of the FSMA by us;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) it has only communicated or caused to be communicated and will only communicate or cause to be communicated an invitation or inducement
to engage in investment activity (within the meaning of Section 21 of the FSMA) received by it in connection with the issue or sale of
the notes in circumstances in which Section 21(1) of the FSMA does not apply to us; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) it has complied and will comply with all applicable provisions of the FSMA with respect to anything done by it in relation to the
notes in, from or otherwise involving the United Kingdom.

Where notes have a maturity of less than one year from their date of issue and (a) the issue proceeds are received by us in the United Kingdom and/or (b) the activity of issuing the notes is carried on from an establishment maintained by us in the United Kingdom, each such note must have a minimum redemption value of £100,000 (or its equivalent in other currencies) and no part of any such note may be transferred unless the minimum redemption value of that part is not less than £100,000 (or its equivalent in other currencies).

The communication of this product supplement, any accompanying index supplement, the accompanying prospectus and any related term sheet and any other document or materials relating to the issue of the notes offered hereby is not being made, and such documents and/or materials have not been approved, by an authorized person for the purposes of Section 21 of the FSMA.

**UNITED STATES FEDERAL TAXATION**

The material U.S. federal income tax consequences and certain estate tax consequences of ownership and disposition of notes issued under this product supplement will be described in the applicable pricing supplement.

**BENEFIT PLAN INVESTOR CONSIDERATIONS**

**General Fiduciary Matters**

Each fiduciary of a pension, profit-sharing or other employee benefit plan subject to Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("**ERISA**") (a "**Plan**"), should consider the fiduciary standards of ERISA in the context of the Plan's particular circumstances before authorizing an investment in the notes. Accordingly, among other factors, the fiduciary should consider whether the investment would satisfy the prudence and diversification requirements of ERISA and would be consistent with the documents and instruments governing the Plan.

**Prohibited Transaction Issues**

In addition, we, the selling agent, and certain of our subsidiaries and affiliates, may each be considered a "party in interest" within the meaning of ERISA, or a "disqualified person" within the meaning of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "**Code**") with respect to many Plans, as well as many individual retirement accounts and Keogh plans (such accounts and plans, together with other plans, accounts and arrangements subject to Section 4975 of the Code, also "**Plans**"). ERISA Section 406 and Code Section 4975 generally prohibit transactions between Plans and parties in interest or disqualified persons. Prohibited transactions within the meaning of ERISA or the Code would likely arise, for example, if the notes are acquired by or with the assets of a Plan with respect to which we or any of our affiliates is a service provider or other party in interest or disqualified person, unless the notes are acquired pursuant to an exemption from the "prohibited transaction" rules. A violation of these "prohibited transaction" rules could result in excise tax and other penalties and liabilities under ERISA and/or Section 4975 of the Code for parties in interest or disqualified persons who engaged in the prohibited transaction, unless exemptive relief is available under an applicable statutory or administrative exemption. In addition, fiduciaries of the Plan that engaged in such a non-exempt prohibited transaction may be subject to penalties and liabilities under ERISA and the Code.

The U.S. Department of Labor has issued five prohibited transaction class exemptions ("**PTCEs**") that may provide exemptive relief for direct or indirect prohibited transactions resulting from the purchase or holding of the notes. Those class exemptions are PTCE 96-23 (for certain transactions determined by in-house asset managers), PTCE 95-60 (for certain transactions involving insurance company general accounts), PTCE 91-38 (for certain transactions involving bank collective investment funds), PTCE 90-1 (for certain transactions involving insurance company separate accounts) and PTCE 84-14 (for certain transactions determined by independent qualified professional asset managers). In addition, ERISA Section 408(b)(17) and Section 4975(d)(20) of the Code may provide an exemption for the purchase and sale of notes and the related lending transactions, provided that neither the issuer of the notes nor any of its affiliates nor any other party in interest or disqualified person involved in the transaction has or exercises any discretionary authority or control or renders any investment advice with respect to the assets of the Plan involved in the transaction and are parties in interest or disqualified persons solely by reason of acting as a plan service provider or having a relationship to such a service provider, and provided further that the Plan pays no more, and receives no less, than "adequate consideration" in connection with the transaction (the so-called "service provider" exemption). There can be no assurance that any of these class or statutory exemptions or any other exemption will be available with respect to transactions involving the notes.

Because we may be considered a party in interest or disqualified person with respect to many Plans, the notes may not be purchased, held or disposed of by any Plan, any entity whose underlying assets include "plan assets" of any Plan by reason of any Plan's investment in the entity (a "**Plan Asset Entity**") or any person investing "plan assets" of any Plan, unless such purchase, holding or disposition is eligible for exemptive relief, including relief available under PTCE 96-23, 95-60, 91-38, 90-1 or 84-14, the service provider exemption or another statutory or administrative exemption, or such purchase, holding or disposition is otherwise not prohibited. Due to the complexity of these rules and the penalties that may be imposed upon persons involved in non-exempt prohibited transactions, it is particularly important that fiduciaries or other persons considering purchasing the notes on behalf of or with "plan assets" of any Plan consult with their counsel regarding the availability of exemptive relief.

**Non-ERISA Arrangements**

Governmental plans (as defined in Section 3(32) of ERISA), certain church plans (as defined in Section 3(33) of ERISA) and non-U.S. plans (as described in Section 4(b)(4) of ERISA) (collectively, "**Non-ERISA Arrangements**") are not subject to the fiduciary responsibility or prohibited transaction rules of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, but may be subject to similar rules under other applicable laws or regulations ("**Similar Laws**"). Fiduciaries of Non-ERISA Arrangements should consult with their counsel regarding the potential consequences of an investment in the notes under any applicable Similar Laws before purchasing the notes on behalf of or with assets of any Non-ERISA Arrangement.

**Representations**

Any purchaser, including any fiduciary purchasing on behalf of a Plan, Plan Asset Entity or Non-ERISA Arrangement, transferee or holder of the notes will be deemed to have represented, in its corporate and its fiduciary capacity, by its purchase and holding of the notes that either (a) it is not a Plan, Plan Asset Entity or Non-ERISA Arrangement and is not purchasing such notes on behalf of or with the assets of any Plan or Non-ERISA Arrangement or (b) its purchase, holding and disposition of these notes will not constitute or result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or violate any Similar Law.

The notes are contractual financial instruments. The financial exposure provided by the notes is not a substitute or proxy for, and is not intended as a substitute or proxy for, individualized investment management or advice for the benefit of any purchaser or holder of the notes. The notes have not been designed and will not be administered in a manner intended to reflect the individualized needs and objectives of any purchaser or holder of the notes.

Each purchaser or holder of any notes acknowledges and agrees that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) the purchaser or holder or its fiduciary has made and shall make all investment decisions for the purchaser or holder and the purchaser or holder has not relied and shall not rely in any way upon us or any of our affiliates to act as a fiduciary or adviser of the purchaser or holder with respect to (A) the design and terms of the notes, (B) the purchaser or holder's investment in the notes, or (C) the exercise of or failure to exercise any rights we or any of our affiliates or the purchaser or holder has under or with respect to the notes;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) we and our affiliates have acted and will act solely for our own account in connection with (A) all transactions relating to the notes and (B) all hedging transactions in connection with our and our affiliates' obligations under the notes;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) any and all assets and positions relating to hedging transactions by us or our affiliates are assets and positions of those entities and are not assets and positions held for the benefit of the purchaser or holder;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) our interests are adverse to the interests of the purchaser or holder; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v) neither we nor any of our affiliates is a fiduciary or adviser of the purchaser or holder in connection with any such assets, positions or transactions, and any information that we or any of our affiliates may provide is not intended to be impartial investment advice.

Each purchaser and holder of the notes has exclusive responsibility for ensuring that its purchase, holding and disposition of the notes do not violate the fiduciary or prohibited transaction rules of ERISA or the Code or any Similar Law. The sale of any notes to any Plan, Plan Asset Entity or Non-ERISA Arrangement is in no respect a representation or advice by us or any of our affiliates or representatives as to whether such an investment meets all relevant legal requirements with respect to investments by Plans, Plan Asset Entities or Non-ERISA Arrangements generally or any particular Plan, Plan Asset Entity or Non-ERISA Arrangement, or that such an investment is appropriate for Plans, Plan Asset Entities or Non-ERISA Arrangements generally or any particular Plan, Plan Asset Entity or Non-ERISA Arrangement. In this regard, neither this discussion nor anything provided in this product supplement is or is intended to be investment advice directed at any potential Plan, Plan Asset Entity or Non-ERISA Arrangement purchaser or at such purchasers generally and such purchasers of these notes should consult and rely on their own counsel and advisers as to whether an investment in these notes is suitable.
