Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

     Article VIII of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of
Morgan Stanley ("Certificate of Incorporation") and Section 6.07 of the Amended
and Restated Bylaws of Morgan Stanley ("Bylaws"), each as amended to date,
provide for the indemnification of Morgan Stanley's directors and officers. The
Certificate of Incorporation provides that any person who is a director or
officer of Morgan Stanley shall be indemnified by Morgan Stanley to the fullest
extent permitted from time to time by applicable law. In addition, the Bylaws
provide that each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made
a party to or is involved in any threatened, pending or completed action, suit
or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by
reason of the fact that he or she or a person of whom he or she is the legal
representative is or was a director or officer of Morgan Stanley or a director
or elected officer of a corporation a majority of the capital stock (other than
directors' qualifying shares) of which is owned directly or indirectly by
Morgan Stanley (a "Subsidiary") shall be indemnified and held harmless by
Morgan Stanley to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. The right to
indemnification under the Bylaws includes the right to be paid the expenses
incurred in defending a proceeding in advance of its final disposition upon
receipt (unless Morgan Stanley upon authorization of the Board of Directors
waives said requirement to the extent permitted by applicable law) of an
undertaking by or on behalf of such person to repay such amount if it shall
ultimately be determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified by
Morgan Stanley.

     Morgan Stanley's Bylaws also provide that Morgan Stanley may, to the
extent authorized from time to time by the Board of Directors, provide rights
to indemnification, and rights to be paid by Morgan Stanley the expenses
incurred in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition, to
any person who is or was an employee or agent (other than a director or
officer) of Morgan Stanley or a Subsidiary and to any person who is or was
serving at the request of Morgan Stanley or a Subsidiary as a director,
officer, partner, member, employee or agent of another corporation,
partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust or other
enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit plans maintained
or sponsored by Morgan Stanley or a Subsidiary, to the fullest extent as the
Bylaws provide with respect to indemnification of, and advancement of expenses
for, directors and officers of Morgan Stanley.

     Under the By-laws, Morgan Stanley has the power to purchase and maintain
insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, partner,
member, employee or agent of Morgan Stanley or a Subsidiary, or of another
corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust or
other enterprise, against any


                                     II-1


expense, liability or loss whether or not Morgan Stanley would have the power
to indemnify that person against that expense, liability or loss under the
provisions of applicable law.

     Morgan Stanley has in effect insurance policies in the amount of $200
million for general officers' and directors' liability insurance.

Item 17. Undertakings

     (1) The undersigned Registrants hereby undertake that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of
Morgan Stanley's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an
employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in this
registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

     (2) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
persons of the Registrants pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise,
the Registrants have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and
Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed
in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by a
registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, such registrant will, unless
in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and
will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

     (3) The undersigned Registrants hereby undertake:

          (a) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being
     made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

            (i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the
        Securities Act of 1933;

            (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after
        the effective date of this registration statement (or the most recent
        post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the
        aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth
        in this registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any
        increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total
        dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was
        registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated
        maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed
        with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the
        changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the
        maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of
        Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement; and


                                     II-6


            (iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan
        of distribution not previously disclosed in this registration statement
        or any material change to such information in this registration
        statement;

provided, however, that paragraphs (3)(a)(i) and (3)(a)(ii) do not apply if the
information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those
paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the
Commission by the Registrants pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in this registration
statement.

          (b) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
     Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed
     to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered
     therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed
     to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

          (c) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective
     amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at
     the termination of the offering.

     (4) The undersigned Registrants (other than Morgan Stanley) hereby
undertake to provide to the underwriter at the closing specified in the
underwriting agreements, certificates in such denominations and registered in
such names as required by the underwriter to permit prompt delivery to each
purchaser.

     (5) The undersigned Registrants hereby undertake that:

          (a) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities
     Act of 1933, the information omitted from the forms of prospectus filed as
     part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and
     contained in a form of prospectus filed by the Registrants pursuant to
     Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act of 1933 shall be
     deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was
     declared effective.

          (b) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities
     Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of
     prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to
     the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at
     that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
