Such grant is expressly subject to the terms and conditions of this Restricted Stock Unit Agreement (the “Agreement”) as hereinafter set forth and further subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, both of which are incorporated herein by reference.

1. Defined Terms. Capitalized terms used in this Agreement are defined in paragraph 10 or elsewhere herein. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Plan.

2. Award. By acceptance of this RSU award on the Morgan Stanley Stock Plan Connect website (https://www.stockplanconnect.com), Participant hereby agrees and consents to the application this Agreement and the Plan to the RSUs. Each RSU entitles the Participant to receive one Share subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

3. Voting Rights and Dividends. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary the Participant shall not have any rights as a shareholder of the Company, including the right to vote, until Shares are actually issued to the Participant in accordance with paragraph 4 of this Agreement.

An account shall be established for the Participant, to which shall be credited dividend equivalents equal to the product of (a) the number of the Participant’s RSUs and (b) the dividend declared on a single share of Common Stock. To the extent the Participant becomes vested in the RSUs, the Participant shall be entitled to a distribution of the dividend equivalents credited to his or her account at the same time as the Shares are issued with respect to the RSUs so vesting. All dividend equivalents paid will be considered ordinary income and will be subject to supplemental withholding rates for income tax purposes including payroll taxes, applicable to such supplemental income.

4. Vesting, Transfer and Forfeiture of RSUs.

(a) Except as otherwise provided in subparagraph 4(b) below, the Participant shall vest in the RSUs which have been granted to the Participant (as set forth in paragraph 2 above) on the Vesting Dates shown in the table below.

INSTALLMENT	VESTING DATE
25% of RSUs	First-year anniversary of the Grant Date
75% of RSUs	Third-year anniversary of the Grant Date

The RSUs shall be converted and exchanged for an equal number of shares of Stock to be issued to the Participant no later than the tenth (10^th) business day following each Vesting Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Participant’s Date of Termination occurs prior to one of the Vesting Dates, the Participant shall forfeit all unvested RSUs and the Participant shall have no further rights under this Agreement.

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of subparagraph 4(a) above, the Participant shall become vested in the RSUs as provided in subparagraphs (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) below, and shall become owner of an equal number of Shares thereof free of all restrictions otherwise imposed by this Agreement as provided in subparagraph (v) below, as follows:

(i) If the Participant’s Date of Termination occurs as a result of death, Retirement or Disability, the Participant will be vested on such Date of Termination in a pro rata portion of the RSUs based on his or her length of employment during the Vesting Period. The pro rata portion of the Restricted Stock Units shall equal the product of:

(A) the number of RSUs granted to the Participant hereunder; and

(B) a fraction (not greater than one), the numerator of which shall be the number of days the Participant is employed by the Company or its Subsidiaries during the period beginning on the Grant Date and ending on the Date of Termination and the denominator of which shall be the number of days in the Vesting Period.

(ii) Subject to the provisions of Section 14.2 of the Plan (relating to the adjustment of Shares), if a Change in Control occurs prior to a Participant’s Date of Termination and before one of the Vesting Dates, and within two (2) years after the occurrence of the Change in Control the Participant’s Date of Termination occurs by reason of discharge by the Participant’s employer without Cause or the Participant resigns from employment with the employer for Good Reason, the Participant shall, except as provided in subparagraph (iii), become fully vested in all unvested RSUs granted under this Agreement prior to the Change in Control that are held by the Participant as of the Date of Termination, in accordance with subparagraphs 4(b)(iv) and 4(b)(v).

(iii) With respect to any RSUs that become vested pursuant to subparagraph (ii) in connection with a Change in Control described in Subsection 2.7(e) of the Plan, with respect to a Participant as described therein relating to certain transactions involving a Subsidiary or Business Segment, then such Participant shall be vested in the RSUs as follows:

(A) If such Date of Termination occurs during the first year of the Vesting Period, the Participant shall be vested inone-third (1/3) of the Participant’s RSUs.

(B) If such Date of Termination occurs during the second year of the Vesting Period, the Participant shall be vested intwo-thirds (2/3) of the Participant’s RSUs.

(C) If such Date of Termination occurs during the third year of the Vesting Period, the Participant shall be vested in all of the Participant’s RSUs.

(iv) For purposes of subparagraphs (ii) and (iii) above, if, as a result of a Change in Control described in Subsection 2.7(e) of the Plan, the Participant’s Termination of Service occurs by reason of the Participant’s employer ceasing to be a Subsidiary (and the Participant’s employer is or becomes an entity that is separate from the Company), and the Participant is not, immediately following the Change in Control, employed by the Company or an entity that is then a Subsidiary, then the occurrence of the Change in Control shall be treated as the Participant being discharged by the employer without Cause.

(v) Following the vesting of the RSUs under subparagraph (i) or (ii), RSUs shall be converted to an equal number of Shares and issued no later than the tenth (10^th) business day following the Date of Termination; provided, however, that in the event the Participant qualifies for Retirement, then:

(A) If such Participant’s Date of Termination (under subparagraph (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) above) is a result of a “separation from service” as determined in accordance with Treas. Reg.§1.409A-1(h) and any interpretation thereof adopted by the Company (a “Separation from Service”) and the Participant is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and the regulations issued

thereunder, the RSUs shall be converted to an equal number of shares of Stock and issued to the Participant on the earlier of (1) the Vesting Date or (2) the tenth (10^th) business day following the six (6)-month anniversary of the Date of Termination.

(B) If such Participant’s Date of Termination is under subparagraph (ii), (iii) or (iv) above but is not as a result of a Separation from Service, the RSUs shall be converted to an equal number of shares of Stock and issued to the Participant on the earlier of (1) the Vesting Date or (2) the tenth (10^th) business day following the date the Participant has a Separation from Service.

(C) If such Participant’s Date of Termination is under subparagraph (iii) or (iv) above, is not as a result of a Separation from Service, and the Change in Control does not constitute a “change in control event” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation§1.409A-3(i)(5)(i), the RSUs shall be converted to an equal number of shares of Stock and issued to the Participant on the earlier of (1) the Vesting Date or (2) the tenth (10^th) business day following the date the Participant has a Separation from Service.

(c) Except pursuant to a domestic relations order, RSUs may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered until share of Common Stock have been distributed to the participant free and clear of all restrictions.

5. Withholding. The granting, vesting and settlement of RSUs under this Agreement are subject to withholding of all applicable taxes. Subject to such rules and limitations as may be established by the Administrator from time to time, the Participant may satisfy his or her withholding obligations through (i) payment of cash to the Company equal to the amount of taxes required to be withheld, (ii) contemporaneously withholding from other sources of income otherwise payable to the Participant by the Company or any Subsidiary, or (iii) the surrender of Shares which the Participant already owns, or to which the Participant is otherwise entitled under the Plan or this Agreement; provided, however, that, except as otherwise provided by the Administrator, Shares otherwise payable under this Agreement may not be used to satisfy more than the Company’s minimum statutory withholding obligation (based on minimum statutory withholding rates for income tax purposes, including payroll taxes, that are applicable to such supplemental taxable income). In the event that the withholding obligation arises during a period in which the Participant is prohibited from trading in Common Stock pursuant to the Company’s insider trading policy, or otherwise by applicable securities or other laws, then unless otherwise elected by the Participant during a period when he/she was not so restricted from trading, the Company shall automatically satisfy the Participant’s withholding obligation by withholding from Shares otherwise deliverable under this Agreement

If any rights of the Participant or benefits distributable to the Participant under this Agreement have not been exercised or distributed, respectively, at the time of the Participant’s death, such rights shall be exercisable by the Designated Beneficiary, and such benefits shall be distributed to the Designated Beneficiary, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the Plan. If a deceased Participant fails to designate a beneficiary, or if the Designated Beneficiary does not survive the Participant, any rights that would have been exercisable by the Participant and any benefits distributable to the Participant shall be exercised by or distributed to the legal representative of the estate of the Participant. If the Designated Beneficiary survives the Participant but dies before the exercise of all rights or the complete distribution of benefits under this Agreement, then any remaining rights and any remaining benefit distribution shall be exercisable by or distributed to the legal representative of the estate of the Designated Beneficiary.
