DISCRETIONARY RETENTION AWARDS

AWARD CERTIFICATE FOR PERFORMANCE STOCK UNITS

Morgan Stanley has awarded you performance stock units (PSUs) as part of your discretionary long-term incentive compensation for services provided during [year] and as an incentive for you to remain in Employment and provide services to the Firm. This Award Certificate sets forth the general terms and conditions of your [year] performance stock unit award. The number of PSUs in your Target Award has been communicated to you independently.

If you are employed outside the United States, you will also receive an “International Supplement” that contains supplemental terms and conditions for your [year] PSU award. You should read this Award Certificate in conjunction with the International Supplement, if applicable, in order to understand the terms and conditions of your performance stock unit award.

Your PSU award is made pursuant to the Plan. References to “performance stock units” or “PSUs” (which terms are used interchangeably) in this Award Certificate mean only those performance stock units included in your [year] PSU award, and the terms and conditions herein apply only to such award. If you receive any other award under the Plan or another equity compensation plan, it will be governed by the terms and conditions of the applicable award documentation, which may be different from those herein.

The purpose of your PSU award is, among other things, to align your interests with the interests of the Firm and Morgan Stanley’s stockholders, to reward you for your continued Employment and service to the Firm in the future and your compliance with the Firm’s policies (including the Code of Conduct), to protect the Firm’s interests in non-public, confidential and/or proprietary information, products, trade secrets, customer relationships, and other legitimate business interests, and to ensure an orderly transition of responsibilities. In view of these purposes, the number of PSUs that you earn will depend on the Company’s performance during the Performance Period. Moreover, you will earn PSUs included in your [year] PSU award only if you (1) remain in continuous Employment through the Scheduled Vesting Date (subject to limited exceptions set forth below), (2) do not engage in any activity that is a cancellation event set forth in Section 11(c) below and (3) satisfy obligations you owe to the Firm as set forth in Section 13 below. Even if your PSUs have vested, you will have no right to your award if a cancellation event occurs under the circumstances set forth in Section 11(c) below. As Morgan Stanley deems appropriate, Morgan Stanley will require you to provide a written certification or other evidence, from time to time in its sole discretion, to confirm that no cancellation event has occurred, including upon a termination of Employment and/or during a

2

specified period of time prior to each Scheduled Conversion Date. If you fail to timely provide any required certification or other evidence, Morgan Stanley will cancel your award. It is your responsibility to provide the Executive Compensation Department with your up-to-date contact information.

Capitalized terms used in this Award Certificate that are not defined in the text have the meanings set forth in Section 23 below. Capitalized terms used in this Award Certificate that are not defined in the text or in Section 23 below have the meanings set forth in the Plan.

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

The portion, if any, of your Target Award that you earn will be based on Morgan Stanley performance against the performance measures set forth in this Section 2 and the other terms and conditions of this Award Certificate, and may vary from zero to two times the number of PSUs included in your Target Award.

(a) Average Morgan Stanley ROE. One-half of your Target Award will be earned based on MS Average ROE. The number of PSUs that you earn based on MS Average ROE (subject to vesting and the other terms and conditions of your award) will be determined by multiplying the number of PSUs representing one-half of the Target Award by a multiplier determined as follows:

If MS Average ROE is between two thresholds, then the multiplier will be obtained by straight-line interpolation between the two thresholds. For example, if MS Average ROE is 15%, the multiplier will be 1.50. If MS Average ROE is less than 7.5%, you will not earn any PSUs as a result of the MS Average ROE measure, and one-half of your [year] PSU award will be canceled.

(b) Relative Total Shareholder Return. One-half of your Target Award will be earned based on Morgan Stanley’s Total Shareholder Return as compared to the Total Shareholder Return of each member of the Comparison Group. The number of PSUs that you earn based on Morgan Stanley’s TSR as compared to each member the Comparison Group’s

3

TSR (subject to vesting and the other terms and conditions of your award) will be determined by multiplying the number of PSUs representing one-half of your Target Award by a multiplier determined in accordance with the following performance grid:

In the event that any member of the Comparison Group is involved in any event that results in such member ceasing to be traded on a national exchange at any time during the Performance Period or in the event that the Committee determines, in its sole discretion, that a change in circumstances of a member of the Comparison Group during the Performance Period would cause the inclusion of such entity in the Comparison Group to no longer be appropriate, then, in each case, such entity shall be removed as a member of the Comparison Group and the performance grid described above relating to the relative TSR performance goal will be adjusted based on the number of companies remaining in the Comparison Group, with a rank of “1” resulting in a multiplier of 2 and the “last” rank resulting in a multiplier of 0; provided that, in the event all but one member of the Comparison Group are removed, then the performance grid will be adjusted such that a rank of first results in a multiplier of 1 and a rank of last results in a multiplier of 0; provided, further, in the event all members of the Comparison Group are removed, then the performance grid will be adjusted such that the multiplier will be 1. The multiplier for the ranks in between first and last will be determined based on straight-line interpolation.

(c) Adjustments. If an event occurs with respect to Morgan Stanley or any member of the Comparison Group that renders, in the sole determination of the Committee, any of the performance measures set forth in Section 2(a) or Section 2(b) to no longer be appropriate, then the Committee may adjust such measures, as it deems appropriate in its sole discretion, to carry out the intent of the original terms of this award.

(a) Vesting schedule. Except as otherwise provided in this Award Certificate, you will vest in any PSUs that are earned in accordance with Section 2 on the Scheduled Vesting Date.¹ Except as otherwise provided in this Award Certificate, PSUs will vest only if you

4

continue to provide future services to the Firm by remaining in continuous Employment through the Scheduled Vesting Date and providing value added services to the Firm during this timeframe. The special vesting terms set forth in Sections 6, 7 and 8 of this Award Certificate apply (i) if your Employment terminates by reason of your death or Disability, (ii) upon your Full Career Retirement, (iii) if the Firm terminates your employment in an involuntary termination under the circumstances described in Section 7 or (iv) upon a Governmental Service Termination. Vested PSUs remain subject to the cancellation and withholding provisions set forth in this Award Certificate.

(b) Conversion. Except as otherwise provided in this Award Certificate, your PSUs, to the extent earned and vested, will convert to shares of Morgan Stanley common stock on the Scheduled Conversion Date, with any fractional shares to be distributed in cash.² The special conversion provisions set forth in Sections 6(a), 6(b) and 8 of this Award Certificate apply (i) if your Employment terminates by reason of your death or you die after termination of your Employment or (ii) upon your Governmental Service Termination or your employment at a Governmental Employer following your termination of employment with the Firm under circumstances set forth in Section 8(b).

No PSUs will convert to shares of Morgan Stanley common stock until the Committee certifies the extent to which the performance criteria set forth in Section 2 have been satisfied.

The shares delivered upon conversion of PSUs pursuant to this Section 3(b) will not be subject to any transfer restrictions, other than those that may arise under the securities laws, the Firm’s policies or Section 13 below, or to cancellation under the circumstances set forth in Section 11(c), but will be subject to clawback as set forth in Section 3(c).

(c) Clawback. In the event and to the extent the Committee reasonably determines that the performance certified by the Committee, and on the basis of which PSUs were converted to shares of Morgan Stanley common stock, was based on materially inaccurate financial statements or other performance metric criteria, you will be obligated to repay to the Firm:

(i) the number of shares that were delivered upon conversion of your PSUs, less the number of shares that would have been delivered had your PSUs converted to shares based on accurate financial statements or other performance metric criteria (such number of shares determined in each case by the Committee and before satisfaction of tax or other withholding obligations pursuant to Section 12) (the “Clawback Shares”); provided, however, that to the extent that any of the Clawback Shares have been transferred, you shall repay to the Firm an amount equal to the number of Clawback Shares so transferred multiplied by the fair market value, determined using a valuation methodology established by Morgan Stanley, of Morgan Stanley common stock on the date your PSUs converted to shares of Morgan Stanley common stock; plus

5

(ii) any dividend equivalents that were paid on the Clawback Shares when your PSUs converted to shares; plus

(iii) interest on the amounts described in the preceding clauses (i) and (ii) at the average rate of interest Morgan Stanley paid to borrow money from financial institutions during the period from the date of such conversion through the date preceding the repayment date.

(d) Accelerated conversion. Morgan Stanley shall have no right to accelerate the conversion of any of your PSUs or the payment of any of your dividend equivalents, except to the extent that such acceleration is not prohibited by Section 409A and would not result in your being required to recognize income for United States federal income tax purposes before your PSUs convert to shares of Morgan Stanley common stock or your dividend equivalents are paid or your incurring additional tax or interest under Section 409A. If any PSUs are converted to shares of Morgan Stanley common stock or any dividend equivalents are paid prior to the Scheduled Conversion Date pursuant to this Section 2(d), these shares or dividend equivalents may not be transferable and may remain subject to applicable vesting, cancellation and withholding provisions, as determined by Morgan Stanley.

(e) Rule of construction for timing of conversion. Whenever this Award Certificate provides for your PSUs to convert to shares, or your dividend equivalents to be paid, on the Scheduled Conversion Date or upon a different specified event or date, such conversion or payment will be considered to have been timely made, and neither you nor any of your beneficiaries or your estate shall have any claim against the Firm for damages based on a delay in conversion of your PSUs (or delivery of Morgan Stanley shares following conversion) or payment of your dividend equivalents, as applicable, and the Firm shall have no liability to you (or to any of your beneficiaries or your estate) in respect of any such delay, as long as conversion or payment, as applicable, is made by December 31 of the year in which occurs the Scheduled Conversion Date or such other specified event or date or, if later, by the 15th day of the third calendar month following such specified event or date. Similarly, neither you nor any of your beneficiaries or your estate shall have any claim against the Firm for damages, and the Firm shall have no liability to you (or to any of your beneficiaries or your estate), based on any acceleration of the conversion of your PSUs or payment of your dividend equivalents pursuant to Section 3(d), as applicable.

Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Award Certificate, if Morgan Stanley considers you to be one of its executive officers at the time provided for the conversion of your vested PSUs and determines that your compensation may not be fully deductible by virtue of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, Morgan Stanley shall delay payment of the nondeductible portion of your compensation, including delaying, to the extent nondeductible, conversion of your vested PSUs and payment of the dividend equivalents, unless the Committee, in its sole discretion, determines not to delay such conversion and payment. This delay will

6

continue until your Separation from Service or to the extent permitted under Section 409A, the end of the first earlier taxable year of the Firm as of the last day of which you are no longer an executive officer (subject to earlier conversion in the event of your death as described below).

If Morgan Stanley pays a regular or ordinary dividend on its common stock, you will be credited with cash dividend equivalents with respect to your PSU award in an amount equal to the amount of the dividend that would have been paid on a number of shares of Morgan Stanley common stock corresponding to your Target Award. Morgan Stanley will credit the dividend equivalents when it pays the corresponding dividend on its common stock. Your dividend equivalents will vest and be paid at the same time as, and subject to the same vesting and cancellation provisions set forth in this Award Certificate with respect to, your PSUs (provided that, subject to Section 3(e), the dividend equivalents may be paid following the date on which the PSUs convert to shares of Morgan Stanley common stock on the next administratively practicable payroll date). The amount of dividend equivalents paid to you will be based on the number of PSUs that actually convert to shares (and will be paid only if your PSUs convert to shares), provided that such dividend equivalents will be reduced to the extent that application of the performance measures set forth in Section 2 results in your earning less than the Target Award and will be increased to the extent that application of those performance measures results in your earning more than the Target Award. (For example, if you earn 80% of the Target Award based on the performance measures, 20% of the dividend equivalents credited in respect of regular or ordinary dividends will be canceled.) If your PSU award is subject to a pro rata reduction upon the termination of your Employment (as described below) and your award is to be paid on a date following such termination, the amount of dividend equivalents credited to you in respect of regular or ordinary dividends paid on Morgan Stanley common stock following your termination shall continue to be based on the number of shares of Morgan Stanley common stock corresponding to your Target Award, and the amount paid to you (subject to the other terms and conditions of this Award Certificate) shall be the amount calculated as provided above in this Section 5, in each case multiplied by the Pro Ration Fraction. If your PSU award is subject to a pro rata reduction upon the termination of your Employment and is paid out on such termination (as described below), the amount of dividend equivalents paid to you shall be calculated based on the number of shares of Morgan Stanley common stock corresponding to your Target Award (adjusted, if applicable, as provided in this Section 5) multiplied by the Pro Ration Fraction. In the event of a Change in Control, the Committee in its discretion may provide that any dividend equivalents credited in respect of your [year] PSU award following the Change in Control will be based on the number of shares of Morgan Stanley common stock earned as provided in Section 9 (rather than on the number of shares corresponding to your Target Award), it being understood that the amount of dividend equivalents actually paid to you on the Scheduled Conversion Date (or earlier as provided in this Award Certificate in the event of certain terminations of employment) will be calculated as provided in this Section 5.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event your PSU award is canceled in full on or before the Scheduled Conversion Date, all dividend equivalents credited to you in respect of regular or ordinary dividends will be canceled.

7

The decision to pay a dividend and, if so, the amount of any such dividend, is determined by Morgan Stanley in its sole discretion. No dividend equivalents will be paid to you on any canceled PSUs.

The following special earning, vesting and payment terms apply to your PSUs:

(a) Death during Employment. If you die while Employed, then the number of PSUs that will vest, and the number of shares of Morgan Stanley common stock the beneficiary you have designated pursuant to Section 15 or the legal representative of your estate, as applicable, will receive as of the date of your death, will be determined by multiplying (i) the number of shares earned based on the performance measures set forth in Section 2 but applied as though the Performance Period ended with the last Morgan Stanley quarter ending simultaneously with or before the date of your death, for which earnings information for Morgan Stanley has been released as of the date of your death, by (ii) the Pro Ration Fraction, provided that your beneficiary or estate notifies the Firm of your death within 60 days following your death; provided that if your death occurs following the end of the Performance Period, then your beneficiary or estate, as applicable, will receive shares (if any) in an amount and at such time that you would have received such shares had your death not occurred. For example, if your death occurs following the end of Morgan Stanley’s third quarter (but prior to the end of the fourth quarter) and earnings information has not been released by Morgan Stanley for such quarter, the performance measures will be applied as though the Performance Period ended with Morgan Stanley’s second quarter (provided Morgan Stanley has released earning information for such quarter).

After your death, the cancellation provisions set forth in Section 11(c) will no longer apply. The shares delivered upon conversion of PSUs pursuant to this Section 6(a) will not be subject to any transfer restrictions (other than those that may arise under the securities laws or the Firm’s policies) but will be subject to clawback as set forth in Section 3(c).

(b) Death after termination of Employment. If you die following your termination of Employment as a result of your Disability, Full Career Retirement or an involuntary termination not involving any cancellation event and your [year] PSU award was not canceled in connection with your termination or thereafter, then the number of PSUs that will vest, and the number of shares of Morgan Stanley common stock the beneficiary you have designated pursuant to Section 15 or the legal representative of your estate, as applicable, will receive as of the date of your death, will be determined by multiplying (i) the number of shares that would have been delivered to you based on applying the performance measures set forth in Section 2 as though the Performance Period ended with the last Morgan Stanley quarter ending simultaneously with or before the date of your death for which earnings information for Morgan Stanley has been released as of the date of your death, by (ii) the Pro Ration Fraction determined upon your termination of Employment, provided that your beneficiary or estate notifies the Firm of your death within 60 days following your death; provided that if your death occurs following the end of the Performance Period, then your beneficiary or estate, as applicable, will receive shares (if any) in an amount and at such time that you would have received such shares had your death not occurred.

8

After your death, the cancellation provisions set forth in Section 11(c) will no longer apply. The shares delivered upon conversion of PSUs pursuant to this Section 6(b) will not be subject to any transfer restrictions (other than those that may arise under the securities laws or the Firm’s policies) but will be subject to clawback as set forth in Section 3(c).

(c) Disability. If your Employment terminates due to Disability, then, subject to any transfer restrictions and the cancellation provisions described herein, you will vest in a number of PSUs, and receive a number of shares of Morgan Stanley common stock on the Scheduled Conversion Date, determined by multiplying (i) the number of shares that would have been delivered to you, based on the performance measures described in Section 2, had you remained in Employment through the Scheduled Conversion Date, by (ii) the Pro Ration Fraction. The cancellation and withholding provisions set forth in this Award Certificate will continue to apply until the Scheduled Conversion Date.

(d) Full Career Retirement. If your employment terminates in a termination that satisfies the definition of Full Career Retirement, then, subject to any transfer restrictions and the cancellation provisions described herein, you will vest in a number of PSUs, and receive a number of shares of Morgan Stanley common stock on the Scheduled Conversion Date, equal to (A) if your Full Career Retirement termination occurs on or before [first anniversary of June 30 following the Date of the Award], the amount determined by multiplying (i) the number of shares that would have been delivered to you, based on the performance measures set forth in Section 2, had you remained in Employment through the Scheduled Conversion Date, by (ii) the Pro Ration Fraction and (B) if your Full Career Retirement termination occurs following [first anniversary of June 30 following the Date of the Award], the number of shares that would have been delivered to you, based on the performance measures set forth in Section 2, had you remained in Employment through the Scheduled Conversion Date. The cancellation and withholding provisions set forth in this Award Certificate will continue to apply until the Scheduled Conversion Date.

If the Firm terminates your employment under circumstances not involving any cancellation event set forth in Section

11(c) and you sign an agreement and release satisfactory to the Firm, then, subject to any transfer restrictions and the cancellation provisions described herein, you will vest in a number of PSUs, and receive a number of shares of Morgan Stanley common stock on the Scheduled Conversion Date, determined by multiplying (i) the number of shares that would have been delivered to you, based on the performance measures set forth in Section 2, had you remained in Employment through the Scheduled Conversion Date, by (ii) the Pro Ration Fraction. If you do not sign such an agreement and release satisfactory to the Firm within the timeframe set by the Firm in connection with your involuntary termination as described in this Section 7, any PSUs that were unvested immediately prior to your termination shall be canceled. The cancellation and withholding provisions set forth in this Award Certificate will continue to apply until the Scheduled Conversion Date.

9

(a) General treatment of awards upon Governmental Service Termination. If your Employment terminates in a Governmental Service Termination and not involving a cancellation event set forth in Section 11(c), then, provided that you sign an agreement satisfactory to the Firm relating to your obligations pursuant to Section 8(c), you will vest in a number of PSUs, and receive as of the date of your Governmental Service Termination a number of shares of Morgan Stanley common stock, determined by multiplying (i) the number of shares earned based on the performance measures set forth in Section 2 but applied as though the Performance Period ended with the last Morgan Stanley quarter ending simultaneously with or before the effective date of your Governmental Service Termination, for which earnings information for Morgan Stanley has been released as of the date of your Governmental Service Termination, by (ii) the Pro Ration Fraction.

(b) General treatment of vested awards upon acceptance of employment at a Governmental Employer following termination of Employment. If (i) your Employment terminates other than in a Governmental Service Termination and not involving a cancellation event set forth in Section 11(c), (ii) your [year] PSU award was not canceled in connection with your termination or thereafter, (iii) following your termination of Employment, you accept employment with a Governmental Employer, and (iv) you present the Firm with satisfactory evidence demonstrating that as a result of such employment the divestiture of your continued interest in Morgan Stanley equity awards or continued ownership of Morgan Stanley common stock is reasonably necessary to avoid the violation of U.S. federal, state or local or foreign ethics law or conflicts of interest law applicable to you at such Governmental Employer, then, provided that you sign an agreement satisfactory to the Firm relating to your obligations pursuant to Section 8(c), you will receive, upon your commencement of employment with such Governmental Employer, the number of shares determined by multiplying (x) the number of shares of Morgan Stanley common stock earned based on the performance measures set forth in Section 2 but applied as though the Performance Period ended with the last Morgan Stanley quarter ending simultaneously with or before your acceptance of employment at a Governmental Employer, for which earnings information for Morgan Stanley has been released as of such date, by (y) the Pro Ration Fraction.

(c) Repayment obligation. Shares delivered upon conversion of PSUs pursuant to Section 8(a) or 8(b) will not be subject to any transfer restrictions (other than those that may arise under the securities laws or the Firm’s policies) but will be subject to clawback as set forth in Section 3(c). Moreover, if you engage in any activity constituting a cancellation event set forth in Section

11(c) within the applicable period of time that would have resulted in cancellation of all or a portion of your PSUs had they not converted to shares pursuant to Section 8(a) or 8(b), you will be required to pay to Morgan Stanley an amount equal to:

(i) the number of PSUs that would have been canceled upon the occurrence of such cancellation event multiplied by the fair market value, determined using a valuation methodology established by Morgan Stanley, of Morgan Stanley common stock on the date your PSUs converted to shares of Morgan Stanley common stock; plus

10

(ii) any dividend equivalents that were paid to you on the number of PSUs described in the foregoing clause (i) when your PSUs converted to shares pursuant to Section 8(a) or 8(b); plus

(iii) interest on the amounts described in the preceding clauses (i) and (ii) at the average rate of interest Morgan Stanley paid to borrow money from financial institutions during the period from the date of such conversion through the date preceding the payment date.

In the event of a Change in Control, you will receive on the Scheduled Conversion Date (subject to earlier payment as described in Section 6 upon death and in Section 8 in connection with “Governmental Service” and subject to any transfer restrictions and the cancellation provisions set forth herein) the number of shares earned based on the performance measures in Section 2 but applied as though the Performance Period ended with the last quarter of Morgan Stanley ending simultaneously with or before the effective date of the Change in Control; provided, however, that no such payment shall be made if your Employment terminates following the Change in Control, but prior to the Scheduled Vesting Date, for any reason other than for death, Disability, Full Career Retirement, Governmental Service Termination or an involuntary termination not involving any cancellation event. For the avoidance of doubt, following a Change in Control, the provisions of this Award Certificate setting forth the consequences of a termination of employment shall continue to apply (including all provisions governing the timing of payment), except that whenever this Award Certificate provides for you to receive upon or following a termination of employment a number of shares determined by applying the Pro Ration Fraction, the Pro Ration Fraction shall be applied to the number of shares calculated pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence (e.g., applying the performance measures described herein as though the Performance Period ended with the last quarter of Morgan Stanley ending simultaneously with or before the effective date of the Change in Control).

Notwithstanding any other terms of this Award Certificate, if Morgan Stanley considers you to be one of its “specified employees” as defined in Section 409A at the time of your Separation from Service, any conversion of your PSUs and payment of your accrued dividend equivalents that otherwise would occur upon your Separation from Service (including, without limitation, PSUs whose conversion was delayed due to Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, as provided in Section 4) will be delayed until the first business day following the date that is six months after your Separation from Service; provided, however, that in the event that your death, your Governmental Service Termination or your employment at a Governmental Employer following your termination of employment with the Firm under circumstances set forth in Section 8(b) occurs at any time after the Date of the Award, conversion and payment will be made in accordance with Section 6 or 8, as applicable.

11

(a) Cancellation of unvested awards. Your unvested PSUs, including any dividend equivalents credited on your PSUs, will be canceled if your Employment terminates for any reason other than death, Disability, a Full Career Retirement, an involuntary termination by the Firm described in Section 7 or a Governmental Service Termination.

(b) General treatment of vested awards. Except as otherwise provided in this Award Certificate, your PSUs, to the extent earned and vested, including any dividend equivalents credited on your PSUs, will convert to shares of Morgan Stanley common stock or be paid, as applicable, on the Scheduled Conversion Date. The cancellation and withholding provisions set forth in this Award Certificate will continue to apply until the Scheduled Conversion Date.

(c) Cancellation of awards under certain circumstances. The cancellation events set forth in this Section 11(c) are designed, among other things, to incentivize compliance with the Firm’s policies (including the Code of Conduct), to protect the Firm’s interests in non-public, confidential and/or proprietary information, products, trade secrets, customer relationships, and other legitimate business interests, and to ensure an orderly transition of responsibilities. This Section 11(c) shall apply notwithstanding any other terms of this Award Certificate (except where sections in this Award Certificate specifically provide that the cancellation events set forth in this Section 11(c) no longer apply).

Notwithstanding Morgan Stanley’s performance based on the measures set forth in Section 2 or your satisfaction of the vesting conditions of this Award Certificate, PSUs (and any dividend equivalents credited thereon) are not earned until the Scheduled Conversion Date (and until you satisfy all obligations you owe to the Firm as set forth in Section 13 below) and, unless prohibited by applicable law, will be canceled prior to the Scheduled Conversion Date in any of the circumstances set forth below in Section

11(c)(1) or (2). Although you will become the beneficial owner of shares of Morgan Stanley common stock following conversion of your PSUs, the Firm may retain custody of your shares following conversion of your PSUs (and any dividend equivalents credited thereon) pending any investigation or other review that impacts the determination as to whether the PSUs (and any dividend equivalents credited thereon) are cancellable under the circumstances set forth below and, in such an instance, the shares underlying such PSUs (and any dividend equivalents credited thereon) shall be forfeited in the event the Firm determines that the PSUs were cancellable under the circumstances set forth below.

(1) Competitive Activity. If you resign Employment and engage in Competitive Activity prior to the Scheduled Conversion Date, your [year] PSU award, whether or not vested and irrespective of Morgan Stanley’s performance based on the measures set forth in Section 2, including any dividend equivalents credited on your PSUs, will be canceled immediately, subject to applicable law.³

Notwithstanding the foregoing, he will not be deemed to have resigned for Good Reason unless (i) he has given the Chairman of the Board written notification of his intention to do so, describing the factual basis for “Good Reason” and (ii) the event giving rise to “Good Reason” is not cured by Morgan Stanley within 30 business days after the Chairman of the Board’s receipt of the notice.

12

(2) Other Events. If any of the following events occur at any time before the Scheduled Conversion Date, your [year] PSU award, whether or not vested and irrespective of Morgan Stanley’s performance based on the measures set forth in Section 2, including any dividend equivalents credited on your PSUs, will be canceled immediately, subject to applicable law:

(i) Your Employment is terminated for Cause or you engage in conduct constituting Cause (either during or following Employment and whether or not your Employment has been terminated as of the Scheduled Conversion Date);

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

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

13

(iv) You engage in a Wrongful Solicitation;

(v) You make any Unauthorized Comments;

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

(vii) You resign from your employment with the Firm without having provided the Firm prior written notice of your resignation at least:

(A) 180 days before the date on which your employment with the Firm terminates if you are a member of the Management Committee at the time of notice of your resignation; and

(B) 90 days before the date on which your employment with the Firm terminates if clause (A) of this Section 11(c)(2)(vii) does not apply to you at the time of notice of your resignation.

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

Pursuant to rules and procedures that Morgan Stanley establishes, you may elect to satisfy the tax or other withholding obligations arising upon conversion of your PSUs by having Morgan Stanley withhold shares of Morgan Stanley common stock in an amount

14

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

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

Morgan Stanley’s determination of any amount that you owe the Firm shall be conclusive. The fair market value of Morgan Stanley common stock for purposes of the foregoing provisions shall be determined using a valuation methodology established by Morgan Stanley.

You may not sell, pledge, hypothecate, assign or otherwise transfer your award, other than as provided in Section 15 (which allows you to designate a beneficiary or beneficiaries in the event of your death) or by will or the laws of descent and distribution. This prohibition includes any assignment or other transfer that purports to occur by operation of law or otherwise. During your lifetime, payments relating to your award will be made only to you.

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

You may make a written designation of beneficiary or beneficiaries to receive all or part of your award to be delivered or paid under this Award Certificate in the event of your death. To make a beneficiary designation, you must complete and submit the Beneficiary Designation form on the Executive Compensation website at [website redacted].

15

Any shares or dividend equivalents that become deliverable upon your death, and as to which a designation of beneficiary is not in effect, will be distributed to your estate.

If you previously filed a designation of beneficiary form for your equity awards with the Executive Compensation Department, such form will also apply to all of your equity awards, including this award. You may replace or revoke your beneficiary designation at any time. If there is any question as to the legal right of any beneficiary to receive shares or payments under this award, Morgan Stanley may determine in its sole discretion to deliver the shares or make the payments in question to your estate. Morgan Stanley’s determination shall be binding and conclusive on all persons and it will have no further liability to anyone with respect to this award.

(a) Before conversion. Generally, you will not have any rights as a stockholder in the shares of Morgan Stanley common stock corresponding to your [year] PSU award unless and until your PSUs convert to shares. Without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence, you will not have any voting rights with respect to shares corresponding to your PSU award until PSUs convert to shares.

(b) Following conversion. Subject to Section 11(c), following conversion of your PSUs you will be the beneficial owner of the shares of Morgan Stanley common stock issued to you, and you will be entitled to all rights of ownership, including voting rights and the right to receive cash or stock dividends or other distributions paid on the shares.

(c) Custody of shares. Morgan Stanley may maintain possession of the shares subject to your award until such time as your shares are no longer subject to restrictions on transfer.

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

THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS STOCK CERTIFICATE WERE ISSUED PURSUANT TO THE MORGAN STANLEY 2007 EQUITY INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLAN AND ARE SUBJECT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS THEREOF AND OF AN AWARD CERTIFICATE FOR PERFORMANCE STOCK UNITS AND ANY SUPPLEMENT THERETO.

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS STOCK CERTIFICATE MAY BE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER BY VIRTUE OF THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933.

16

COPIES OF THE PLAN, THE AWARD CERTIFICATE FOR PERFORMANCE STOCK UNITS AND ANY SUPPLEMENT THERETO ARE AVAILABLE THROUGH THE EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION DEPARTMENT.

Morgan Stanley may advise the transfer agent to place a stop order against such shares if it determines that such an order is necessary or advisable.

Any sale, assignment, transfer, pledge, mortgage, encumbrance or other disposition of shares issued upon conversion of your PSUs (whether directly or indirectly, whether or not for value, and whether or not voluntary) must be made in compliance with any applicable constitution, rule, regulation or policy of any of the exchanges or associations or other institutions with which the Firm or a Related Employer has membership or other privileges, and any applicable law or applicable rule or regulation of any governmental agency, self-regulatory organization or state or federal regulatory body.

(a) No right to continued Employment. This award is not an employment agreement, and nothing in this Award Certificate, the International Supplement, if applicable, or the Plan shall alter your status as an “at-will” employee of the Firm or your employment status at a Related Employer. None of this Award Certificate, the International Supplement, if applicable, or the Plan shall be construed as guaranteeing your employment by the Firm or a Related Employer, or as giving you any right to continue in the employ of the Firm or a Related Employer, during any period (including without limitation the period between the Date of the Award and any of the Scheduled Vesting Date, the Scheduled Conversion Date, or any portion of any of these periods), nor shall they be construed as giving you any right to be reemployed by the Firm or a Related Employer following any termination of Employment.

(b) No right to future awards. This award, and all other awards of PSUs and other equity-based awards, are discretionary. This award does not confer on you any right or entitlement to receive another award of PSUs or any other equity-based award at any time in the future or in respect of any future period.

(c) No effect on future employment compensation. Morgan Stanley has made this award to you in its sole discretion. This award does not confer on you any right or entitlement to receive compensation in any specific amount for any future fiscal year, and does not diminish in any way the Firm’s discretion to determine the amount, if any, of your compensation. This award is not part of your base salary or wages and will not be taken into account in determining any other employment-related rights you may have, such as rights to pension or severance pay.

(d) Award Terms Control. In the event of any conflict between any terms applicable to equity awards in any employment agreement, offer letter or other arrangement that you have entered into with the Firm and the terms set forth in this Award Certificate, the latter shall control.

17

Your award is conditioned upon the making of all filings and the receipt of all consents or authorizations required to comply with, or required to be obtained under, applicable local law.

Morgan Stanley reserves the right to modify or amend unilaterally the terms and conditions of your award, without first asking your consent, or to waive any terms and conditions that operate in favor of Morgan Stanley. These amendments may include (but are not limited to) changes that Morgan Stanley considers necessary or advisable as a result of changes in any, or the adoption of any new, Legal Requirement. Morgan Stanley may not modify your award in a manner that would materially impair your rights in your award without your consent; provided, however, that Morgan Stanley may, but is not required to, without your consent, amend or modify your award in any manner that Morgan Stanley considers necessary or advisable to (i) comply with any Legal Requirement, (ii) ensure that your award does not result in an excise or other supplemental tax on the Firm under any Legal Requirement, or (iii) ensure that your award is not subject to United States federal, state or local income tax or any equivalent taxes in territories outside the United States prior to conversion of your PSUs to shares or delivery of such shares following conversion or the crediting or payment of dividends. Morgan Stanley will notify you of any amendment of your award that affects your rights. Any amendment or waiver of a provision of this Award Certificate (other than any amendment or waiver applicable to all recipients generally), which amendment or waiver operates in your favor or confers a benefit on you, must be in writing and signed by the Global Co-Head of Human Resources or the Chief Operating Officer (or if such positions no longer exist, by the holder of an equivalent position) to be effective.

This Award Certificate and the related legal relations between you and Morgan Stanley will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to any conflicts or choice of law, rule or principle that might otherwise refer the interpretation of the award to the substantive law of another jurisdiction.
