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. The forms of Underwriting Agreements and Distribution Agreements filed as Exhibits 1-a, 1-b, 1-c, 1-d, 1-e and 1-f hereto, and incorporated herein by reference, contain some provisions relating to the indemnification of Morgan Stanley's directors, officers and controlling persons.

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.
