GLOBAL MEDIUM-TERM NOTES, SERIES F
Senior Notes

Protected Absolute Return Barrier Notes due December 20, 2008
Based on the Price of Shares of the iShares® MSCI EAFE Index Fund

Unlike ordinary debt securities, the notes do not pay interest. Instead, the notes will pay at maturity the $10 stated principal amount of each note plus a supplemental redemption amount that will be paid only if the price of one share of the iShares® MSCI EAFE Index Fund, which we refer to as the share price, remains within the price range specified below at all times throughout the term of the notes. The supplemental redemption amount, if any, will be based on the absolute value of the return of the closing price of one share of the iShares® MSCI EAFE Index Fund, which we refer to as the closing share price. Consequently, you will receive a positive supplemental redemption amount whether the closing share price on the valuation date, which is December 18, 2008, is higher or lower than the initial price, as long as the share price remains within the price range at all times. In no event will the payment at maturity be less than the stated principal amount of $10.
 
The stated principal amount and issue price of each note is $10.
We will not pay interest on the notes.
At maturity, you will receive, for each $10 stated principal amount of notes, the stated principal amount plus a supplemental redemption amount if the share price is within the price range at all times during the observation period (see below for more information on the observation period). The supplemental redemption amount will equal:
  Ø if at all times during the observation period the share price is within the price range, $10 times the absolute price return; or
  Ø if at any time on any day during the observation period the share price is outside the price range, $0.
The absolute price return will equal the absolute value of (i) the final price minus the initial price, divided by (ii) the initial price.
  Ø The initial price is $79.97, the closing share price on the day we priced the notes for initial sale to the public, which we refer to as the pricing date.
  Ø The final price will equal the closing share price on the valuation date.
The price range includes any share price that is (i) greater than or equal to the initial price times 80% ($63.976) and (ii) less than or equal to the initial price times 120% ($95.964).
The observation period is the period of regular trading hours on each trading day on which there is no market disruption event with respect to the shares of the iShares® MSCI EAFE Index Fund, beginning on, and including, the trading day following the pricing date and ending on, and including, the valuation date.
The appreciation potential of the notes is limited by the price range to a maximum payment at maturity of $12.00, or 120% of the stated principal amount.
Investing in the notes is not equivalent to investing in the iShares® MSCI EAFE Index Fund.
The notes have been approved for listing on the American Stock Exchange LLC, which we refer to as the AMEX, subject to official notice of issuance. The AMEX listing symbol for the notes is “EHN.” It is not possible to predict whether any secondary market for the notes will develop.
The CUSIP number for the notes is 61747S264.
You should read the more detailed description of the notes in this pricing supplement. In particular, you should review and understand the descriptions in “Summary of Pricing Supplement” and “Description of Notes.”
 
The notes involve risks not associated with an investment in conventional debt securities. See “Risk Factors” beginning on PS-9.
 
The Securities and Exchange Commission and state securities regulators have not approved or disapproved these securities, or determined if this pricing supplement is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

SUMMARY OF PRICING SUPPLEMENT
 
     The following summary describes the notes we are offering to you in general terms only. You should read the summary together with the more detailed information that is contained in the rest of this pricing supplement and in the accompanying prospectus and prospectus supplement. You should carefully consider, among other things, the matters set forth in “Risk Factors.”
 
     The notes offered are medium-term debt securities of Morgan Stanley. The notes have been designed for investors who are willing to forgo market floating interest rates on the notes in exchange for a supplemental redemption amount based on appreciations or depreciations in the closing price of one share of the iShares® MSCI EAFE Index Fund (an “underlying share”), which we refer to as the closing share price, so long as the price of one underlying share, which we refer to as the share price, does not move outside the price range during the observation period. The supplemental redemption amount, if any, will be based on the absolute return of the closing share price at maturity. Consequently, you will receive a positive supplemental redemption amount whether the closing share price on the valuation date is higher or lower than the initial price, as long as the share price remains within the price range at all times.
 
     “iShares®” is a registered trademark of Barclays Global Investors, N.A. and has been licensed for use by Morgan Stanley.
 
Each note costs $10
 
 
We, Morgan Stanley, are offering you Protected Absolute Return Barrier Notes due December 20, 2008, Based on the Price of Shares of the iShares® MSCI EAFE Index Fund, which we refer to as the notes. The stated principal amount of each note is $10.
 
The original issue price of the notes includes the agent’s commissions paid with respect to the notes and the cost of hedging our obligations under the notes. The cost of hedging includes the projected profit that our subsidiaries may realize in consideration for assuming the risks inherent in managing the hedging transactions. The fact that the original issue price of the notes reflects these commissions and hedging costs is expected to adversely affect the secondary market prices of the notes See “Risk Factors—The inclusion of commissions and projected profit from hedging in the original issue price is likely to adversely affect secondary market prices” and “Description of Notes—Use of Proceeds and Hedging.”
     
Payment at maturity
 
 
Unlike ordinary debt securities, the notes do not pay interest. Instead, at maturity, for each note that you hold, you will receive the stated principal amount of $10 plus a supplemental redemption amount if the share price remains within the price range specified below throughout the observation period, as described below.
 
100% Principal Protection
 
At maturity, we will pay you at least $10 plus the supplemental redemption amount, if any.
 
Payment at Maturity
 
The payment at maturity will be calculated as follows:
 
Payment at maturity = $10 + supplemental redemption amount

PS-3
 



 


 
The Supplemental Redemption Amount is
Linked to Movements in the Share Price
 
The supplemental redemption amount will equal:
       
   
if at all times during the observation period the share price is within the pricerange, $10 times the absolute price return; or
       
   
if at any time on any day during the observation period the share price isoutside the price range, $0.
       
 
The price range includes any share price that is (i) greater than or equal to the initial price times 80% and (ii) less than or equal to the initial price times 120%. The price range can also be expressed as follows:
 
price range =
 
>$63.976 (initial price x 80%); and
 
<$95.964 (initial price x 120%)
 
The observation period is the period of regular trading hours on each trading day on which there is no market disruption event with respect to the underlying shares, beginning on, and including, the trading day following the day we priced the notes for initial sale to the public, which we refer to as the pricing date, and ending on, and including, the valuation date, which is scheduled to be December 18, 2008, subject to adjustment for market disruption events.
 
The absolute price return is the absolute value of the following formula:
 
final price – initial price
initial price
   
 
The initial price is $79.97, the closing share price on the pricing date.
 
The final price will equal the closing share price on the valuation date.
 
All share prices and closing share prices are subject to adjustment to reflect events affecting the underlying shares. See “Risk Factors – The antidilution adjustments the calculation agent is required to make do not cover every event that could affect the underlying shares” and “Description of Notes – Antidilution Adjustments.”
 
In no event will the supplemental redemption amount exceed $2.00 because if the final price is less than 80% or greater than 120% of the initial price, the share price will have moved outside the price range and your supplemental redemption amount will equal $0. The notes are designed for investors who are seeking a positive return if the closing share price appreciates or depreciates so long as the share price does not trade outside the price range throughout the observation period. Investing in the notes is not equivalent to investing in the iShares® MSCI EAFE Index Fund.
 
You can review the historical share prices in the section of this pricing supplement called “Description of Notes—Historical Information.”

The iShares® MSCI EAFE Index Fund
 
 
The iShares® MSCI EAFE Index Fund is an exchange-traded fund managed by iShares® , Inc., a registered investment company. iShares® , Inc. consists of numerous separate investment portfolios, including the iShares® MSCI EAFE Index Fund. This fund seeks investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the MSCI EAFE Index® . It is possible that this fund may not fully replicate the performance of the MSCI EAFE Index due to the temporary unavailability of certain securities in the secondary market or due to other extraordinary circumstances. Because the prices of the component securities of the MSCI EAFE Index® are quoted in foreign currencies and converted into U.S. dollars for the purposes of calculating the MSCI EAFE Index® , the underlying shares are subject to currency exchange risk. See “Risk Factors—The securities are subject to currency exchange risk” and “Description of Securities—The MSCI EAFE Index® .”
     
MSCI EAFE Index®
 
 
The MSCI EAFE Index is calculated, published and disseminated daily by Morgan Stanley Capital International Inc., or MSCI® , a majority-owned subsidiary of Morgan Stanley, and comprises the equity securities underlying the MSCI indices of 21 selected countries in Europe and Asia, as well as Australia and New Zealand.
     
MSCI® is our subsidiary
 
 
MSCI publishes the MSCI EAFE Index and is a majority-owned subsidiary of Morgan Stanley. MSCI is responsible for the design and maintenance of the MSCI EAFE Index, including decisions regarding the calculation of the MSCI EAFE Index, such as the addition and deletion of component stocks and other methodological modifications of the MSCI EAFE Index. The actions and judgments of MSCI may affect the value of the MSCI EAFE Index and, consequently, could adversely affect the closing share price, to the extent that the underlying shares generally track the MSCI EAFE Index, and the value of the securities. The economic interests of the calculation agent and other of our affiliates are potentially adverse to your interests.
     
MS & Co. will be the calculation agent
 
 
We have appointed our affiliate, Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated, which we refer to as MS & Co., to act as calculation agent for The Bank of New York, a New York banking corporation (as successor to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.), the trustee for our senior notes. As calculation agent, MS & Co. has determined the initial price and will determine the final price and whether or not the share price has moved outside the price range at any time on any day during the observation period and calculate the amount payable at maturity.
     
The notes will be treated as contingent payment debt instruments for U.S. federal income tax purposes
 
 
The notes will be treated as “contingent payment debt instruments” for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as described in the section of this pricing supplement called “Description of Notes — United States Federal Income Taxation.” Under this treatment, if you are a U.S. taxable investor, you will generally be subject to annual income tax based on the comparable yield (as set forth in this pricing supplement) of the notes even though no stated interest will be paid on the notes. In addition, any gain recognized by U.S. taxable investors on the sale or exchange, or at maturity, of the notes generally will be treated as ordinary income. Please read the section of this pricing supplement called “Description of Notes — United States Federal Income Taxation” and the sections called “United States Federal Taxation — Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders — Notes — Optionally Exchangeable Notes” and “United States Federal Taxation — Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders — Backup Withholding and Information Reporting” in the accompanying prospectus supplement. The sections in the accompanying prospectus supplement referred to above are hereafter referred to as the “Tax Disclosure Sections.”
 
If you are a non-U.S. investor, please read the section of this pricing supplement called “Description of Notes — United States Federal Income Taxation — Tax Consequences to Non-U.S. Holders.”

PS-5
 



 


   
You are urged to consult your own tax advisors regarding all aspects of the U.S. federal tax consequences of investing in the notes as well as any tax consequences arising under the laws of any state, local or foreign taxing jurisdiction.
     
Where you can find more information on the notes
 
 
The notes are senior notes issued as part of our Series F medium-term note program. You can find a general description of our Series F medium-term note program in the accompanying prospectus supplement dated January 25, 2006. We describe the basic features of this type of note in the sections of the prospectus supplement called “Description of Notes—General Terms of Notes” and “—Notes Linked to Commodity Prices, Single Securities, Baskets of Securities or Indices” and in the section of the prospectus called “Description of Debt Securities—Description of Fixed Rate Debt Securities.”
 
Because this is a summary, it does not contain all the information that may be important to you. For a detailed description of the terms of the notes, you should read the “Description of Notes” section in this pricing supplement. You should also read about some of the risks involved in investing in the notes in the section called “Risk Factors.” The tax treatment of investments in equity-linked notes such as these differs from that of investments in ordinary debt securities. See the section of this pricing supplement called “Description of Notes—United States Federal Income Taxation.” We urge you to consult with your investment, legal, tax, accounting and other advisors with regard to any proposed or actual investment in the notes.

HYPOTHETICAL PAYOUTS ON THE NOTES AT MATURITY
 
     The table below illustrates the payment at maturity (including, where relevant, the payment of the supplemental redemption amount) for a $10 stated principal amount note for a hypothetical range of performance of the price return from -100% to +100% and assumes a hypothetical initial price of $80 and a hypothetical price range which includes all share prices greater than or equal to the hypothetical initial price times 80% and less than or equal to the hypothetical initial price times 120%. In this example, the share price must move by more than 20% in either direction from the hypothetical initial price during the observation period before we would not pay you a supplemental redemption amount.
 
     The following results are based solely on the hypothetical example cited and for the shaded rows, on the assumption that the share price has remained within the price range at all times during the observation period. You should consider carefully whether the notes are suitable to your investment goals. The numbers appearing in the table below have been rounded for ease of analysis.

     The supplemental redemption amount, if any, will be based on the absolute value of the performance of the closing share price. Consequently, you will receive a positive supplemental redemption amount whether the closing share price on the valuation date is higher or lower than the initial price, as long as the share price remains within the price range at all times.
 
PS-7
 



 


Hypothetical Examples of Amounts Payable at Maturity.
 
     The following examples illustrate how the total returns set forth in the table above are calculated.
 
Example 1:
 
     The closing share price increases by 12% from the hypothetical initial price of $80 to a final price of $89.60, and the share price remains within the price range at all times throughout the observation period. Accordingly, the supplemental redemption amount is equal to:
 
     supplemental redemption amount = $10.00 x absolute value of [(89.60 – 80) / 80] = $1.20
 
     Therefore, the total payment at maturity per note will be $11.20, which is the sum of the $10 stated principal amount and a supplemental redemption amount of $1.20.
 
Example 2:
 
     The closing share price decreases by 10% from the hypothetical initial price of $80 to a final price of $72, and the share price remains within the price range at all times throughout the observation period. Accordingly, the supplemental redemption amount is equal to:
 
     supplemental redemption amount = $10.00 x absolute value of [(72 – 80) / 80] = $1.00
 
     Therefore, the total payment at maturity per note will be $11.00, which is the sum of the $10 stated principal amount and a supplemental redemption amount of $1.00.
 
Example 3:
 
     The closing share price decreases by 1% from the hypothetical initial price of $80 to a final price of $79.20, and the share price remains within the price range at all times throughout the observation period. Accordingly, the supplemental redemption amount is equal to:
 
     supplemental redemption amount = $10.00 x absolute value of [(79.20 – 80) / 80] = $0.10
 
     Therefore, the total payment at maturity per note will be $10.10, which is the sum of the $10 stated principal amount and a supplemental redemption amount of $0.10.
 
Example 4:
 
     The share price moves outside the price range at any time on any day during the observation period. Because the share price has moved outside the price range, the supplemental redemption amount is equal to $0, and the payment at maturity is equal to only $10.00 per $10.00 stated principal amount regardless of the final price.
 
PS-8
 



 


RISK FACTORS
 
     The notes are not secured debt, are riskier than ordinary debt securities and do not pay interest. The payment you receive at maturity is linked to the movements of the share price. Investing in the notes is not equivalent to investing directly in the iShares® MSCI EAFE Index Fund. This section describes the most significant risks relating to the notes. You should carefully consider whether the notes are suited to your particular circumstances before you decide to purchase them.
 
Unlike ordinary senior notes, the notes do not pay interest
 
 
The terms of the notes differ from those of ordinary debt securities in that we will not pay interest on the notes. Because the supplemental redemption amount may equal zero, the return on your investment in the notes may be zero and, therefore, less than the amount that would be paid on an ordinary debt security. The notes have been designed for investors who are willing to forgo market floating interest rates on the notes in exchange for a supplemental redemption amount based on whether the share price remains within the price range throughout the observation period and on the closing share price on the valuation date.
     
The notes may not pay more than the stated principal amount at maturity   If at any time on any day during the observation period the share price is outside the price range, no supplemental redemption amount will be paid and you will receive only the stated principal amount of $10 for each note you hold at maturity.
     
Your appreciation potential is limited
 
 
The appreciation potential of the notes is limited by the price range to a maximum payment at maturity of $12.00, or 120% of the stated principal amount. In no event will the supplemental redemption amount exceed $2.00 because if the final price is less than 80% or greater than 120% of the initial price, the share price will have moved outside the price range and your supplemental redemption amount will equal $0. See “Hypothetical Payouts on the Notes at Maturity” on PS–7.
     
Secondary trading may be limited
 
 
There may be little or no secondary market for the notes. Even if there is a secondary market, it may not provide significant liquidity. MS & Co. currently intends to act as a market maker for the notes but is not required to do so. If at any time MS & Co. were to cease acting as a market maker, it is likely that there would be significantly less liquidity in the secondary market, in which case the price at which you would be able to sell your notes would likely be lower than if an active market existed. If the notes cease to be listed on the American Stock Exchange LLC (and are not listed on any other securities exchange) and MS & Co. were to cease acting as a market maker, it is likely that there would be no secondary market for the notes. Because it is not possible to predict whether the market for the notes will be liquid or illiquid, you should be willing to hold your notes to maturity.
     
If the share price moves outside the price range, the market value of the notes will decrease
 
If at any time on any day during the observation period the share price is outside the price range, the market value of the notes will decline below the stated principal amount and will no longer be linked to the underlying shares. If you try to sell your notes on the secondary market prior to maturity in these circumstances, you will receive less than the stated principal amount.
     
Market price of the notes may be influenced by many unpredictable factors
 
Several factors, many of which are beyond our control, will influence the value of the notes in the secondary market and the price at which MS & Co. may be willing to purchase or sell the notes in the secondary market, including:
       
   
the share price at any time,
 
       
   
whether the share price has been outside the price range,
 
       
   
the volatility (frequency and magnitude of changes in value) of the share price,

PS-9
 



 


    interest and yield rates in the market,
       
   
the dividend rate on the stocks underlying the underlying shares,
 
       
   
geopolitical conditions and economic, financial, political, regulatory or judicialevents that affect the securities underlying the underlying shares or stockmarkets generally and which may affect the final price,
 
       
   
the time remaining until the notes mature, and
 
       
   
our creditworthiness.
   
 
Some or all of these factors will influence the price you will receive if you sell your notes prior to maturity. For example, you may have to sell your notes at a substantial discount from the stated principal amount if, at the time of sale, the share price has been outside of the price range or is close to the lower or upper limit of the price range.
 
You can review the historical share prices in the section of this pricing supplement called “Description of Notes—Historical Information.”
 
You cannot predict the future performance of the share price based on its historical performance. In addition, there can be no assurance that the share price will remain within the price range during the observation period. If, at any time on any day during the observation period, the share price is outside the price range, you will receive at maturity only the stated principal amount with respect to the notes you hold.
     
The inclusion of commissions and projected profit from hedging in the original issue price is likely to adversely affect secondary market prices
 
 
Assuming no change in market conditions or any other relevant factors, the price, if any, at which MS & Co. is willing to purchase notes in secondary market transactions will likely be lower than the original issue price, since the original issue price included, and secondary market prices are likely to exclude, commissions paid with respect to the notes, as well as the projected profit included in the cost of hedging our obligations under the notes. In addition, any such prices may differ from values determined by pricing models used by MS & Co., as a result of dealer discounts, mark-ups or other transaction costs.
     
The value of the underlying shares are subject to currency exchange risk
 
 
Because the price of the underlying shares reflects the U.S. dollar value of the stocks underlying the iShares® MSCI EAFE Index Fund, holders of the notes will be exposed to currency exchange rate risk with respect to each of the currencies in which such component securities trade. An investor’s net exposure will depend on the extent to which the currencies of the component countries strengthen or weaken against the U.S. dollar and the relative weight of each currency. If, taking into account such weighting, the dollar strengthens against the currencies of the component securities represented in the MSCI EAFE Index, the value of the underlying shares will be adversely affected and the payment at maturity on the notes may be reduced.
 
Of particular importance to potential currency exchange risk are:
       
   
existing and expected rates of inflation;
 
       
   
existing and expected interest rate levels;
 
       
   
the balance of payments; and

PS-10
 



 


   
the extent of governmental surpluses or deficits in the component countries andthe United States of America.
 
       
   
All of these factors are in turn sensitive to the monetary, fiscal and trade policies pursued by the governments of various component countries and the United States and other countries important to international trade and finance.
     
There are risks associated with investments in securities linked to the value of foreign equity securities
 
 
The stocks included in the MSCI EAFE Index and that are generally tracked by the underlying shares have been issued by companies in various foreign countries. Investments in securities linked to the value of foreign equity securities involve risks associated with the securities markets in those countries, including risks of volatility in those markets, governmental intervention in those markets and cross- shareholdings in companies in certain countries. Also, there is generally less publicly available information about foreign companies than about U.S. companies that are subject to the reporting requirements of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, and foreign companies are subject to accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards and requirements different from those applicable to U.S. reporting companies.
 
The prices of securities in foreign markets may be affected by political, economic, financial and social factors in those countries, or global regions, including changes in government, economic and fiscal policies and currency exchange laws. Local securities markets may trade a small number of securities and may be unable to respond effectively to increases in trading volume, potentially making prompt liquidation of holdings difficult or impossible at times. Moreover, the economies in such countries may differ favorably or unfavorably from the economy in the United States in such respects as growth of gross national product, rate of inflation, capital reinvestment, resources and self-sufficiency.
     
Investing in the notes is not equivalent to investing in the iShares® MSCI EAFE Index Fund   Investing in the notes is not equivalent to investing in the underlying shares. As an investor in the notes, you will not have voting rights or rights to receive dividends or other distributions or any other rights with respect to the underlying shares.
     
Adjustments to the iShares® MSCI EAFE Index Fund or to the MSCI EAFE Index could adversely affect the value of the notes
 
 
Barclays Global Fund Advisors, which we refer to as BGFA, is the investment adviser to the iShares® MSCI EAFE Index Fund, which seeks investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the MSCI EAFE Index. MSCI is responsible for calculating and maintaining the MSCI EAFE Index. MSCI can add, delete or substitute the stocks underlying the MSCI EAFE Index or make other methodological changes that could change the value of the MSCI EAFE Index. Pursuant to its investment strategy or otherwise, BGFA may add, delete or substitute the stocks composing the iShares® MSCI EAFE Index Fund. Any of these actions could adversely affect the price of the underlying shares and, consequently, the value of the notes.

PS-11
 



 


The underlying shares may not exactly track the MSCI EAFE Index
 
 
The performance of the underlying shares may not exactly replicate the performance of the MSCI EAFE Index because the iShares® MSCI EAFE Index Fund will reflect transaction costs and fees that are not included in the calculation of the MSCI EAFE Index. It is also possible that the iShares® MSCI EAFE Index Fund may not fully replicate or may in certain circumstances diverge significantly from the performance of the MSCI EAFE Index due to the temporary unavailability of certain securities in the secondary market, the performance of any derivative instruments contained in this fund, differences in trading hours between this fund and the MSCI EAFE Index or due to other circumstances. BGFA may invest up to 10% of the iShares® MSCI EAFE Index Fund’s assets in shares of other iShares® funds that seek to track the performance of equity securities of constituent countries of the MSCI EAFE Index.
     
The antidilution adjustments the calculation agent is required to make do not cover every event that could affect the underlying shares   MS & Co., as calculation agent, will adjust the amount payable at maturity for certain events affecting the underlying shares. However, the calculation agent will not make an adjustment for every event that could affect the underlying shares. If an event occurs that does not require the calculation agent to adjust the amount payable at maturity, the market price of the notes may be materially and adversely affected.
     
The economic interests of the calculation agent and other affiliates of ours are potentially adverse to your interests
 
 
The economic interests of the calculation agent and other affiliates of ours are potentially adverse to your interests as an investor in the notes.
 
MSCI and MS & Co., the calculation agent, are each our subsidiaries. MSCI is responsible for calculating and maintaining the MSCI EAFE Index and the guidelines and policies governing its composition and calculation. Morgan Stanley, as the parent company of MSCI, is ultimately responsible for MSCI.
 
The policies and judgments for which MSCI is responsible concerning additions, deletions, substitutions and weightings of the component stocks and the manner in which certain changes affecting such component stocks are taken into account may affect the value of the MSCI EAFE Index and, consequently, the share price, to the extent that the underlying shares generally track the MSCI EAFE Index, and the value of the notes. The inclusion of a component stock in the MSCI EAFE Index is not an investment recommendation by Morgan Stanley or MSCI of that security.
 
MS & Co. and MSCI are under no obligation to consider your interests as an investor in the notes and will not do so. Any actions or judgments by MSCI or MS & Co. could adversely affect the share price and, consequently, the value of the notes.
 
The original issue price of the notes includes the agent’s commissions and certain costs of hedging our obligations under the notes. The subsidiaries through which we hedge our obligations under the notes expect to make a profit. Since hedging our obligations entails risk and may be influenced by market forces beyond our or our subsidiaries’ control, such hedging may result in a profit that is more or less than initially projected.
     
Hedging and trading activity by MS & Co. and its affiliates could potentially adversely affect the value of the notes
 
 
We expect that MS & Co. and other affiliates of ours will carry out hedging activities related to the notes (and possibly to other instruments linked to the index or its component stocks), including trading in the underlying shares, in options contracts on the underlying shares as well as in other instruments related to the underlying shares. MS & Co. and some of our other subsidiaries also trade the underlying shares, stocks underlying the MSCI EAFE Index and other financial instruments related to the underlying shares on a regular basis as part of their general broker-dealer and other businesses. Any of these hedging or trading activities during the term of the notes could potentially affect the share price, whether it is outside the

PS-12
 



 


   
price range at any time and, accordingly, the amount of cash you will receive at maturity. Additionally, such hedging or trading activities could potentially affect the final price and, accordingly, the amount of cash you will receive at maturity.
     
The notes will be treated as contingent payment debt instruments for U.S. federal income tax purposes
 
 
The notes will be treated as “contingent payment debt instruments” for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as described in the section of this pricing supplement called “Description of Notes — United States Federal Income Taxation.” Under this treatment, if you are a U.S. taxable investor, you will generally be subject to annual income tax based on the comparable yield (as set forth in this pricing supplement) of the notes even though no stated interest will be paid on the notes. In addition, any gain recognized by U.S. taxable investors on the sale or exchange, or at maturity, of the notes generally will be treated as ordinary income. Please read the section of this pricing supplement called “Description of Notes — United States Federal Income Taxation” and the sections called “United States Federal Taxation — Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders — Notes — Optionally Exchangeable Notes” and “United States Federal Taxation — Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders — Backup Withholding and Information Reporting” in the accompanying prospectus supplement. The sections in the accompanying prospectus supplement referred to above are hereafter referred to as the “Tax Disclosure Sections.”
 
If you are a non-U.S. investor, please read the section of this pricing supplement called “Description of Notes — United States Federal Income Taxation — Tax Consequences to Non-U.S. Holders.”
 
You are urged to consult your own tax advisors regarding all aspects of the U.S. federal tax consequences of investing in the notes as well as any tax consequences arising under the laws of any state, local or foreign taxing jurisdiction.

PS-15
 



 


    “Exchange Act”), on which the Underlying Shares are listed or admitted to trading,
 
  (ii)      if the Underlying Shares are securities of the NASDAQ, the most recently reported sale price, regular way, at such time during the principal trading session on such day quoted by the NASDAQ, or
 
  (iii)      if the Underlying Shares are not listed or admitted to trading on any national securities exchange but are included in the OTC Bulletin Board Service (the “OTC Bulletin Board”) operated by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (the “NASD”), the most recently reported sale price at such time during the principal trading session on the OTC Bulletin Board on such day.
 
   
See “—Discontinuance of the Underlying Shares and/or MSCI EAFE Index; Alteration of Method of Calculation” below.
     
Closing Share Price
 
 
Subject to the provisions set out under “—Discontinuance of the Underlying Shares and/or MSCI EAFE Index; Alteration of Method of Calculation” below, the Closing Share Price for the Underlying Shares on any Trading Day means:

  (i)      if the Underlying Shares are listed or admitted to trading on a national securities exchange (other than the NASDAQ), the last reported sale price, regular way, of the principal trading session on such day on the principal national securities exchange registered under the Exchange Act, on which the Underlying Shares (or any such other security) are listed or admitted to trading,

  (iii)      if the Underlying Shares are not listed or admitted to trading on any national securities exchange but are included in the OTC Bulletin Board operated by the NASD, the last reported sale price of the principal trading session on the OTC Bulletin Board on such day.
 
   
If the Underlying Shares are listed or admitted to trading on any national securities exchange but the last reported sale price or the official closing price published by the NASDAQ, as applicable, is not available pursuant to the preceding sentence, then the Closing Share Price for one Underlying Share on any Trading Day will mean the last reported sale price of the principal trading session on the over-the-counter market as reported on the NASDAQ or the OTC Bulletin Board on such day. The term “OTC Bulletin Board Service” will include any successor service thereto. See “—Discontinuance of the Underlying Shares and/or MSCI EAFE Index; Alteration of Method of Calculation” below.

Valuation Date
 
 
The Valuation Date will be December 18, 2008, subject to adjustment for Market Disruption Events as described in the following paragraph.
 
If a Market Disruption Event occurs on the scheduled Valuation Date, or if such Valuation Date is not a Trading Day, the Final Price will be determined on the immediately succeeding Trading Day on which no Market Disruption Event shall have occurred; provided that the Final Price will not be determined on a date later than the fifth scheduled Trading Day after the scheduled Valuation Date and if such date is not a Trading Day or if there is a Market Disruption Event on such date, the Calculation Agent will determine the Final Price as the mean, as determined by the Calculation Agent, of the bid prices for the Underlying Shares for such date obtained from as many recognized dealers in such security, but not exceeding three, as will make such bid prices available to the Calculation Agent. Bids of MS & Co. or any of its affiliates may be included in the calculation of such mean, but only to the extent that any such bid is the highest of the bids obtained.
     
Trading Day
 
 
A day, as determined by the Calculation Agent, on which trading is generally conducted on the New York Stock Exchange LLC (“NYSE”), the American Stock Exchange LLC, The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange and the Chicago Board of Options Exchange and in the over-the-counter market for equity securities in the United States.

Your beneficial interest in the Notes will be evidenced solely by entries on the books of the securities intermediary acting on your behalf as a direct or indirect participant in DTC. In this pricing supplement, all references to payments or notices to you will mean payments or notices to DTC, as the registered holder of the Notes, for distribution to participants in accordance with DTC’s procedures.

All calculations with respect to the Payment at Maturity, 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.
 
Because the Calculation Agent is our subsidiary, the economic interests of the Calculation Agent and its affiliates may be adverse to your interests as an investor in the Notes, including with respect to certain determinations and judgments that the Calculation Agent has made in determining the Initial Price and must make in determining the Final Price, whether or not the Share Price has moved outside the Price Range at any time on any day during the Observation Period, the Payment at Maturity and whether a Market Disruption Event has occurred. See “— Discontinuance of the Index; Alteration of Method of Calculation” and “—Market Disruption Event” below. MS & Co. is obligated to carry out its duties and functions as Calculation Agent in good faith and using its reasonable judgment.
     
Market Disruption Event
 
 
Market Disruption Event means, with respect to the Underlying Shares:
 

  (i)      the occurrence or existence of a suspension, absence or material limitation of trading of the Underlying Shares on the primary market for the Underlying Shares for more than two hours of trading or during the one-half hour period preceding the close of the principal trading session in such market; or a breakdown or failure in the price and trade reporting systems of the primary market for the Underlying Shares as a result of which the reported trading prices for the Underlying Shares during the last one-half hour preceding the close of the principal trading session in such market are materially inaccurate; or the suspension, absence or material limitation of trading on the primary market for trading in futures or options contracts related to the Underlying Shares, if available, during the one-half hour period preceding the close of the principal trading session in the applicable market, in each case as determined by the Calculation Agent in its sole discretion; or
 
  (ii)      the occurrence or existence of a suspension, absence or material limitation of trading of stocks then constituting 20 percent or more of the value of the MSCI EAFE Index on the Relevant Exchanges for such securities for more than two hours of trading or during the one-half hour period preceding the close of the principal trading session on such Relevant Exchanges, in each case as determined by the Calculation Agent in its sole discretion; or
 
PS-18
 



 


  (iii)      the suspension, material limitation or absence of trading on any major U.S. securities market for trading in futures or options contracts related to the MSCI EAFE Index or the Underlying Shares for more than two hours of trading or during the one-half hour period preceding the close of the principal trading session on such market, in each case as determined by the Calculation Agent in its sole discretion; and
 
  (iv)      a determination by the Calculation Agent in its sole discretion that any event described in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) above materially interfered with our ability or the ability of any of our affiliates to unwind or adjust all or a material portion of the hedge position with respect to the Notes.
 
 
For the purpose of determining whether a Market Disruption Event exists at any time, if trading in a security included in the MSCI EAFE Index is materially suspended or materially limited at that time, then the relevant percentage contribution of that security to the level of the MSCI EAFE Index shall be based on a comparison of (x) the portion of the level of the MSCI EAFE Index attributable to that security relative to (y) the overall level of the MSCI EAFE Index, in each case immediately before that suspension or limitation.
 
For the purpose of determining whether a Market Disruption Event has occurred: (1) a limitation on the hours 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 or market, (2) a decision to permanently discontinue trading in the relevant futures or options contract or any exchange-traded fund will not constitute a Market Disruption Event, (3) limitations pursuant to the rules of any Relevant Exchange or market similar to NYSE Rule 80A (or any applicable rule or regulation enacted or promulgated by any other self- regulatory organization or any government agency of scope similar to NYSE Rule 80A as determined by the Calculation Agent) on trading during significant market fluctuations will constitute a suspension, absence or material limitation of trading, (4) a suspension of trading in futures or options contracts on the MSCI EAFE Index or the Underlying Shares by the primary securities market trading in such contracts by reason of (a) a price change exceeding limits set by such securities exchange or market, (b) an imbalance of orders relating to such contracts or (c) a disparity in bid and ask quotes relating to such contracts will constitute a suspension, absence or material limitation of trading in futures or options contracts related to the MSCI EAFE Index or the Underlying Shares and (5) a “suspension, absence or material limitation of trading” on any Relevant Exchange or on the primary market on which futures or options contracts related to the MSCI EAFE Index or the Underlying Shares are traded will not include any time when such securities market is itself closed for trading under ordinary circumstances.

PS-19
 



 


Relevant Exchange
 
 
Relevant Exchange means the primary exchange or market of trading for any security (or any combination thereof) then included in the MSCI EAFE Index or any Successor Index (as described below).
 
     
Antidilution Adjustments
 
 
If the Underlying Shares are subject to a stock split or reverse stock split, then once such split has become effective, the Adjustment Factor will be adjusted to equal the product of the prior Adjustment Factor and the number of shares issued in such stock split or reverse stock split with respect to one Underlying Share.
 
No adjustment to the Adjustment Factor pursuant to the paragraph above will be required unless such adjustment would require a change of at least 0.1% in the amount being adjusted as then in effect. Any number so adjusted will be rounded to the nearest one hundred-thousandth with five one-millionths being rounded upward.
 
See also “—Discontinuance of the Underlying Shares and/or MSCI EAFE Index; Alteration of Method of Calculation.”
     
Discontinuance of the Underlying Shares
      and/or MSCI EAFE Index;
   
      Alteration of Method of Calculation
 
 
If the iShares® MSCI EAFE Index Fund is liquidated or otherwise terminated (a “Liquidation Event”), the Share Price at any time on any Trading Day and Closing Share Price on any Trading Day following the Liquidation Event will be determined by the Calculation Agent and will be deemed to equal the product of (i) (a) the value of the MSCI EAFE Index (or any Successor Index, as described below) at such time on such Trading Day, in the case of the Share Price, or (b) closing value of the MSCI EAFE Index (or any Successor Index, as described below) on such Trading Date, in the case of the Closing Share Price, (in each case, taking into account any material changes in the method of calculating the MSCI EAFE Index following such Liquidation Event) times (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Closing Share Price and the denominator of which is the closing value of the MSCI EAFE Index (or any Successor Index, as described below), each determined as of the last day prior to the occurrence of the Liquidation Event on which a Closing Share Price was available.
 
If MSCI discontinues publication of the MSCI EAFE Index and MSCI or another entity (including MS & Co.) publishes a successor or substitute index that MS & Co., as the Calculation Agent, determines, in its sole discretion, to be comparable to the discontinued MSCI EAFE Index (such index being referred to herein as a “Successor Index”), then any subsequent Share Price at any time on any Trading Day, or Closing Share Price on any Trading Day, following a Liquidation Event will be determined by reference to (a) the published value of such Successor Index at such time on such Trading Day, in the case of the Share Price, or (b) the published value of such Successor Index at the regular weekday close of trading on such Trading Day, in the case of the Closing Share Price.

PS-20
 



 


 
Upon any selection by the Calculation Agent of a Successor Index, the Calculation Agent will cause written notice thereof to be furnished to the Trustee, to us and to DTC, as holder of the Notes, within three Trading Days of such selection. We expect that such notice will be passed on to you, as a beneficial owner of the Notes, in accordance with the standard rules and procedures of DTC and its direct and indirect participants.
 
If MSCI discontinues publication of the MSCI EAFE Index prior to, and such discontinuance is continuing on, any Trading Day, the Valuation Date or on the date of acceleration following a Liquidation Event and MS & Co., as the Calculation Agent, determines, in its sole discretion, that no Successor Index is available at such time, then the Calculation Agent will determine Closing Share Price for such date. Following any such determination, the Calculation Agent will not compute the Share Price on any Trading Day and will instead rely on the Closing Share Price as computed by the Calculation Agent for the purpose of determining whether the Share Price is outside the Price Range. The Closing Share Price will be computed by the Calculation Agent in accordance with the formula for calculating the MSCI EAFE Index last in effect prior to such discontinuance, using the closing price (or, if trading in the relevant securities has been materially suspended or materially limited, its good faith estimate of the closing price that would have prevailed but for such suspension or limitation) at such time during the principal trading session of the Relevant Exchange on such date of each security most recently composing the MSCI EAFE Index without any rebalancing or substitution of such securities following such discontinuance. Notwithstanding these alternative arrangements, discontinuance of the publication of the MSCI EAFE Index may adversely affect the value of the Notes.
     
Alternate Exchange Calculation    
      in Case of an Event of Default
 
 
In case an event of default with respect to the Notes shall have occurred and be continuing, the amount declared due and payable for each Note upon any acceleration of the Notes (the “Acceleration Amount”) will be equal to $10 plus the Supplemental Redemption Amount, if any, determined as though the Observation Period ended at 4:00 p.m. on the date of acceleration and using the Closing Share Price on the date of such acceleration as the Final Price.
 
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 DTC of the Acceleration Amount and the aggregate cash amount due with respect to the Notes as promptly as possible and in no event later than two Business Days after the date of acceleration.

Morgan Stanley obtained all information contained in this pricing supplement regarding the MSCI EAFE Index, including, without limitation, its make-up, method of calculation and changes in its components, from publicly available information. That information reflects the policies of, and is subject to change by, MSCI. Neither MSCI nor Morgan Stanley has any obligation to continue to calculate and publish, and may discontinue calculation and publication of the MSCI EAFE Index.
 
The MSCI EAFE Index is intended to provide performance benchmarks for the developed equity markets in Australia and New Zealand and in Europe and Asia, which are Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hong Kong, Ireland, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.
 
Index Calculation. The performance of the MSCI EAFE Index is a free float weighted average of the U.S. dollar values of all of the equity securities (the “Component Securities”) constituting the MSCI indexes for the 21 selected countries (the “Component Country Indices”). Each Component Country Index is a sampling of equity securities across industry groups in such country’s equity markets. See “—Maintenance of the MSCI EAFE Index and the Component Country Indices” below.
 
Prices used to calculate the Component Securities are the official exchange closing prices or prices accepted as such in the relevant market. In general, all prices are taken from the main stock exchange in each market. Closing prices are converted into U.S. dollars using the closing exchange rates calculated by The WM Company at 5 p.m. Central Europe Time. The U.S. dollar value of the MSCI EAFE Index is calculated based on the free float-adjusted market capitalization in U.S. dollars of the Component Securities. The MSCI EAFE Index was launched on December 31, 1969 at an initial value of 100.
 
Maintenance of the MSCI EAFE Index and the Component Country Indices. In order to maintain the representativeness of the MSCI EAFE Index, structural changes to the MSCI EAFE Index as a whole may be made by adding or deleting Component Country Indices and the related Component Securities. Currently, such changes in the MSCI EAFE Index may only be made on four dates throughout the year: after the last scheduled index close of each February, May, August and November.
     
PS-23
 



 


 
MSCI may add additional Component Country Indices to the MSCI EAFE Index or subtract one or more of its current Component Country Indices prior to the expiration of the Securities. Any such adjustments are made to the MSCI EAFE Index so that the value of the MSCI EAFE Index at the effective date of such change is the same as it was immediately prior to such change.
 
Each Component Country Index is maintained with the objective of reflecting, on a timely basis, the evolution of the underlying equity markets. In maintaining each Component Country Index, emphasis is also placed on its continuity, replicability and on minimizing turnover in the MSCI EAFE Index.
 
MSCI classifies index maintenance in three broad categories. The first consists of ongoing event-related changes, such as mergers and acquisitions, which are generally implemented in the indices in which they occur. The second category consists of quarterly index reviews, aimed at promptly reflecting other significant market events. The third category consists of full Component Country Index reviews that systematically re-assess the various dimensions of the equity universe for all countries simultaneously and are conducted on a fixed annual timetable.
 
Ongoing event-related changes to the indices are the result of mergers, acquisitions, spin-offs, bankruptcies, reorganizations and other similar corporate events. They can also result from capital reorganizations in the form of rights issues, bonus issues, public placements and other similar corporate actions that take place on a continuing basis. These changes are reflected in the indices at the time of the event. All changes resulting from corporate events are announced prior to their implementation, provided all necessary information on the event is available.
 
The quarterly index review process is designed to ensure that the indices continue to be an accurate reflection of evolving equity markets. This goal is achieved by rapidly reflecting significant market driven changes that were not captured in the MSCI EAFE Index at the time of their actual occurrence and that should not wait until the annual full Component Country Index review due to their importance. These quarterly index reviews may result in additions and deletions of Component Securities from a Component Country Index and changes in “foreign inclusion factors” and in number of shares. Additions and deletions to Component Securities may result from: the addition or deletion of securities due to the significant over- or under-representation of one or more industry groups as a result of mergers, acquisitions, restructurings or other major market events affecting the industry group; the addition or deletion of securities resulting from changes in industry classification, significant increases or decreases in free float or relaxation/removal or decreases of foreign ownership limits not implemented immediately; the additions of large companies that did not meet the minimum size criterion for inclusion at the time of their initial public offering or secondary offering; the replacement of companies which are no

PS-24
 



 


 
longer suitable industry representatives; the deletion of securities whose overall free float has fallen to less than 15% and that do not meet specified criteria; the deletion of securities that have become very small or illiquid; the replacement of securities resulting from the review of price source for Component Securities with both domestic and foreign board quotations; and the addition or deletion of securities as a result of other market events. Significant changes in free float estimates and corresponding changes in the foreign inclusion factor for Component Securities may result from: large market transactions involving strategic shareholders that are publicly announced; secondary offerings that, given lack of sufficient notice, were not reflected immediately; increases in foreign ownership limits; decreases in foreign ownership limits not applied earlier; corrections resulting from the reclassification of shareholders from strategic to non-strategic, and vice versa; updates to foreign inclusion factors following the public disclosure of new shareholder structures for companies involved in mergers, acquisitions or spin-offs, where different from MSCI’s pro forma free float estimate at the time of the event; large conversions of exchangeable bonds and other similar securities into already existing shares; the end of lock-up periods or expiration of loyalty incentives for non-strategic shareholders; and changes in the foreign inclusion factor as a result of other events of similar nature. Changes in the number of shares are generally small and result from, for example, exercise of options or warrants, conversion of convertible bonds or other instruments or share buybacks. The implementation of changes resulting from quarterly index reviews occurs on only three dates throughout the year: as of the close of the last business day of February, August and November. The results of the quarterly index reviews are announced at least two weeks prior to their implementation. Any country may be impacted at the quarterly index review.
 
The annual full Component Country Index review includes a re- appraisal of the free float-adjusted industry group representation within a country relative to the 85% target, a detailed review of the shareholder information used to estimate free float for Component and non-Component Securities, updating the minimum size guidelines for new and existing Component Securities, as well as changes typically considered for quarterly index reviews. During a full Component Country Index review, securities may be added or deleted from a Component Country Index for a range of reasons, including the reasons discussed in the preceding sentence and the reasons for Component Securities changes during quarterly index reviews as discussed above. The results of the annual full Component Country Index reviews are announced at least two weeks in advance of their effective implementation date as of the close of the last business day in May.
 
Index maintenance also includes monitoring and completing the adjustments for share changes, stock splits, stock dividends, and stock price adjustments due to company restructurings or spinoffs. Index maintenance of the Component Country Indices is reflected in the MSCI EAFE Index.

Selection of Component Securities and Calculating and Adjusting for Free Float. The selection of the Component Securities for each Component Country Index is based on the following guidelines:

  (i)      Define the universe of listed securities within each country;
 
  (ii)      Adjust the total market capitalization for each security for its respective free float available to foreign investors;
 
  (iii)      Classify securities into industry groups under the Global Industry Classification Standard (GICS); and
 
  (iv)      Select securities for inclusion according to MSCI’s index construction rules and guidelines.
 
 
To determine the free float of a security, MSCI considers the proportion of shares of such security available for purchase in the public equity markets by international investors. In practice, limitations on the investment opportunities for international investors include: strategic stakes in a company held by private or public shareholders whose investment objective indicates that the shares held are not likely to be available in the market; limits on the proportion of a security’s share capital authorized for purchase by non-domestic investors; or other foreign investment restrictions which materially limit the ability of foreign investors to freely invest in a particular equity market, sector or security.
 
MSCI will then derive a “foreign inclusion factor” for the company that reflects the percentage of the total number of shares of the company that are not subject to strategic shareholdings and/or foreign shareholder ownership or investment limits. MSCI will then “float-adjust” the weight of each constituent company in an index by the company’s foreign inclusion factor. Typically, securities with a free float adjustment ratio of .15 or less will not be eligible for inclusion in MSCI’s indices.
 
Once the free float factor has been determined for a security, the security’s total market capitalization is then adjusted by such free float factor, resulting in the free float-adjusted market capitalization figure for the security.
 
These guidelines and the policies implementing the guidelines are the responsibility of, and, ultimately, subject to adjustment by, MSCI.
 
The MSCI EAFE Index is Subject to Currency Exchange Risk.Because the closing prices of the Component Securities are converted into U.S. dollars for purposes of calculating the value of the MSCI EAFE Index, investors in the Securities will be exposed to currency exchange rate risk with respect to each of the currencies in which the Component Securities trade. Exposure to currency changes will depend on the extent to which such currencies strengthen or weaken against the U.S. dollar and the relative weight of the Component Securities in the MSCI EAFE Index denominated in each such currency. The devaluation of the

PS-26
 



 


 
U.S. dollar against the currencies in which the Component Securities trade will result in an increase in the value of the MSCI EAFE Index. Conversely, if the U.S. dollar strengthens against such currencies, the value of the MSCI EAFE Index will be adversely affected and may reduce or eliminate any return on your investment. Fluctuations in currency exchange rates can have a continuing impact on the value of the MSCI EAFE Index, and any negative currency impact on the MSCI EAFE Index may significantly decrease the value of the Securities. The return on an index composed of the Component Securities where the closing price is not converted into U.S. dollars can be significantly different than the return on the MSCI EAFE Index, which is converted into U.S. dollars.

BECAUSE EACH OF MSCI AND MS & CO. IS A SUBSIDIARY OF MORGAN STANLEY, THE ECONOMIC INTERESTS OF MSCI AND MS & CO. MAY BE ADVERSE TO THE INVESTORS IN THE SECURITIES, INCLUDING WITH RESPECT TO CERTAIN DETERMINATIONS AND JUDGMENTS MADE IN DETERMINING THE MSCI EAFE INDEX. THE POLICIES AND JUDGMENTS FOR WHICH MSCI IS RESPONSIBLE CONCERNING ADDITIONS, DELETIONS AND SUBSTITUTIONS OF THE COMPONENT COUNTRY INDICES AND CORRESPONDING COMPONENT SECURITIES COMPRISING THE MSCI EAFE INDEX AND THE MANNER IN WHICH CERTAIN CHANGES AFFECTING SUCH COMPONENT SECURITIES ARE TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT MAY AFFECT THE VALUE OF THE MSCI EAFE INDEX. FURTHERMORE, THE POLICIES AND JUDGMENTS FOR WHICH MSCI IS RESPONSIBLE WITH RESPECT TO THE CALCULATION OF THE MSCI EAFE INDEX, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE SELECTION OF THE FOREIGN EXCHANGE RATES USED FOR THE PURPOSE OF ESTABLISHING THE DAILY PRICES OF THE COMPONENT SECURITIES, COULD ALSO AFFECT THE VALUE OF THE MSCI EAFE INDEX. IT IS ALSO POSSIBLE THAT MSCI MAY DISCONTINUE OR SUSPEND CALCULATION OR DISSEMINATION OF THE MSCI EAFE INDEX AND THAT, CONSEQUENTLY, MS & CO., AS CALCULATION AGENT, ALSO AN AFFILIATE OF MORGAN STANLEY, WOULD HAVE TO SELECT A SUCCESSOR OR SUBSTITUTE INDEX FROM WHICH TO CALCULATE THE RETURN ON YOUR INVESTMENT. ANY SUCH ACTIONS OR JUDGMENTS COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT THE VALUE OF THE SECURITIES.

Historical Information
 
 
The following table sets forth the published high and low Closing Share Prices, as well as end-of-quarter Closing Share Prices, for each quarter in the period from January 1, 2002 through June 22, 2007. The Closing Share Price on June 22, 2007 was $79.97. We obtained the information in the table below from Bloomberg Financial Markets, without independent verification.
 
Please note that the historical Closing Share Prices in the table below are based on a single closing price published by Bloomberg Financial Markets for each day. We will not use a single closing price to determine if the Share Price moves outside the Price Range for each Trading Day during the Observation Period. The applicable Share Prices for each Trading Day will include all values within the range between, and inclusive of, the highest Share Price and the lowest Share Price for each Trading Day. Use of the daily range of Share Prices opposed to a single Closing Share Price increases the chance that the Share Price will move outside the Price Range on any given Trading Day.
 
The historical Closing Share Prices should not be taken as an indication of future performance, and no assurance can be given as to the Final Price on the Valuation date. We cannot give you any assurance that the Share Price will at all times remain within the Price Range over the term of the Notes so that you will receive any Supplemental Redemption Amount.

Use of Proceeds and Hedging
 
 
The net proceeds we receive from the sale of the Notes will be used for general corporate purposes and, in part, in connection with hedging our obligations under the Notes through one or more of our subsidiaries. The original Issue Price of the Notes includes the Agent’s Commissions (as shown on the cover page of this pricing supplement) paid with respect to the Notes and the cost of hedging our obligations under the Notes. The cost of hedging includes the projected profit that our subsidiaries expect to realize in consideration for assuming the risks inherent in managing the hedging transactions. Since hedging our obligations entails risk and may be influenced by market forces beyond our or our subsidiaries’ control, such hedging may result in a profit that is more or less than initially projected, or could result in a loss. See also “Use of Proceeds” in the accompanying prospectus.
 
On or prior to the Pricing Date, we, through our subsidiaries or others, hedged our anticipated exposure in connection with the Notes by taking positions in the Underlying Shares, in futures or options contracts on the Underlying Shares or in exchange traded funds. In addition, through our subsidiaries, we are likely to modify our hedge position throughout the life of the Notes by purchasing and selling the Underlying Shares, futures or options contracts on the Underlying Shares listed on major securities markets, exchange traded funds or positions in any other available securities or instruments that we may wish to use in connection with such hedging activities, including by selling any such securities or instruments on the Valuation Date. We cannot give any assurance that our hedging activity has not or will not affect the Share Price or Closing Share Price and, therefore, such activity may adversely affect the value of the Notes or the payment you will receive at maturity.

Supplemental Information Concerning    
      Plan of Distribution
 
 
Under the terms and subject to the conditions contained in the U.S. distribution agreement referred to in the prospectus supplement under “Plan of Distribution,” the Agent, acting as principal for its own account, has agreed to purchase, and we have agreed to sell, the principal amount of Notes set forth on the cover of this pricing supplement; provided that the price will be $9.9625 per Note and the agent’s commissions will be $0.1375 per Note for purchasers of greater than or equal to $1,000,000 and less than $3,000,000 principal amount of Notes, the price will be $9.94375 per Note and the agent’s commissions will be $0.11875 per Note for purchasers of greater than or equal to $3,000,000 and less than $5,000,000 principal amount of Notes and the price will be $9.925 per Note and the agent’s commissions will be $0.10 per Note for purchasers of greater than or equal to $5,000,000 principal amount of Notes. The Agent may allow a concession not in excess of 1.75% per Note to other dealers, which may include Morgan Stanley & Co. International plc and Bank Morgan Stanley AG; provided that, concessions allowed to dealers in connection with the offering may be reclaimed by the Agent if, within 30 days of the offering, the Agent repurchases the Notes distributed by such dealers. After the initial offering, the Agent may vary the offering price and other selling terms from time to time.
 
We expect to deliver the Notes against payment therefor in New York, New York on June 29, 2007, which will be the fifth scheduled Business Day following the date of this pricing supplement. Under Rule 15c6-1 of the Exchange Act, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in three Business Days, unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade Notes more than three Business Days prior to the Original Issue Date will be required to specify alternative settlement arrangements to prevent a failed settlement.
 
In order to facilitate the offering of the Notes, the Agent may engage in transactions that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of the Notes. Specifically, the Agent may sell more Notes than it is obligated to purchase in connection with the offering, creating a naked short position in the Notes for its own account. The Agent must close out any naked short position by purchasing the Notes in the open market. A naked short position is more likely to be created if the Agent is concerned that there may be downward pressure on the price of the Notes in the open market after pricing that could adversely affect investors who purchase in the offering. As an additional means of facilitating the offering, the Agent may bid for, and purchase, Notes in the open market to stabilize the price of the Notes. Any of these activities may raise or maintain the market price of the Notes above independent market levels or prevent or retard a decline in the market price of the Notes. The Agent is not required to engage in these activities, and may end any of these activities at any time. An affiliate of the Agent has entered into a hedging transaction with us in connection with this offering of Notes. See “—Use of Proceeds and Hedging” above.

(d) otherwise pursuant to, and in accordance with the conditions of, any other applicable provision of the SFA.
     
ERISA Matters for Pension Plans    
      and Insurance Companies
 
 
Each fiduciary of a pension, profit-sharing or other employee benefit plan subject to 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

PS-33
 



 


 
diversification requirements of ERISA and would be consistent with the documents and instruments governing the Plan.
 
In addition, we and certain of our subsidiaries and affiliates, including MS & Co., may 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 (also “Plans”). 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 MS & Co. or any of its affiliates is a service provider or other party in interest, unless the Notes are acquired pursuant to an exemption from the “prohibited transaction” rules. A violation of these prohibited transaction rules could result in an excise tax or other liabilities under ERISA and/or Section 4975 of the Code for such persons, unless exemptive relief is available under an applicable statutory or administrative exemption.
 
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 asset managers). In addition, ERISA Section 408(b)(17) provides a limited exception for the purchase and sale of securities and related lending transactions, provided that neither the issuer of the securities nor any of its affiliates have or exercise any discretionary authority or control or render any investment advice with respect to assets of any Plan involved in the transaction and provided further that the Plan pays no more than adequate consideration in connection with the transaction (the so-called “service provider exemption).
 
Because we may be considered a party in interest 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” 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 or such purchase, holding or disposition is otherwise not prohibited. Any purchaser, including any fiduciary purchasing on behalf of a Plan, 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 or a Plan Asset Entity and is not purchasing such securities on behalf of or with “plan assets” of any Plan or with any assets of a governmental or church plan

PS-34
 



 


 
that is subject to any federal, state or local law that is substantially similar to the provisions of Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or (b) its purchase, holding and disposition are eligible for exemptive relief or such purchase, holding and disposition are not prohibited by ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (or in the case of a governmental or church plan, any substantially similar federal, state or local law).
 
Under ERISA, assets of a Plan may include assets of certain commingled vehicles and entities in which the Plan has invested (including, in certain cases, the general account of an insurance company). Accordingly, commingled vehicles and entities which include assets of a Plan must ensure that one of the foregoing exemptions is available. 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 under any available exemptions, such as PTCEs 96-23, 95-60, 91-38, 90-1 or 84-14 or the service provider exemption.
 
Purchasers of the Notes have exclusive responsibility for ensuring that their purchase, holding and disposition of the Notes do not violate the prohibited transaction rules of ERISA or the Code or any similar regulations applicable to governmental or church plans, as described above.
     
United States Federal Income Taxation
 
 
The Notes will be treated as “contingent payment debt instruments” for U.S. federal income tax purposes, subject to the conditions and limitations set forth in the accompanying prospectus supplement in the section called “United States Federal Taxation.”
 
Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders
 
Please read the discussions in the Tax Disclosure Sections of the accompanying prospectus supplement concerning the U.S. federal income tax consequences of investing in the Notes.
 
In summary, U.S. Holders will, regardless of their method of accounting for U.S. federal income tax purposes, be required to accrue original issue discount (“OID”) as interest income on the Notes on a constant yield basis in each year that they hold the Notes, even though no stated interest will be paid on the Notes. As a result, U.S. Holders will be required to pay taxes annually on the amount of accrued OID, as discussed in the accompanying prospectus supplement. In addition, any gain recognized by U.S. Holders on the sale or exchange, or at maturity, of the Notes will generally be treated as ordinary income.
 
The rate of accrual of OID on the Notes is the “comparable yield” as described in the Tax Disclosure Sections of the accompanying prospectus supplement. We have determined that the comparable yield is an annual rate of 5.3865% compounded semi-annually. Based on the comparable yield set forth above, the “projected

payment schedule” for a Note (assuming an issue price of $10) consists of a projected amount equal to $10.8158 due at maturity.
 
Based on the comparable yield set forth above, the following table states the amount of OID (without taking into account the difference, if any, between the actual and the projected amount at maturity) that will be deemed to have accrued with respect to a Note for each accrual period (assuming a day count convention of 30 days per month and 360 days per year):

The comparable yield and the projected payment schedule are not provided for any purpose other than the determination of U.S. Holders’ OID accruals and adjustments in respect of the Notes, and we make no representation regarding the actual amounts of payments that will be made on a Note.
 
Tax Consequences to Non-U.S. Holders
 
If you are a non-U.S. investor, please read the discussion under “United States Federal Taxation Tax Consequences to Non- U.S. Holders” in the accompanying prospectus supplement concerning the U.S. federal income and withholding tax consequences of investing in the Notes. Non-U.S. investors should also note that the discussion in the accompanying prospectus supplement does not address the tax consequences to non-U.S. investors for whom income or gain in respect of the Notes is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States. Such non-U.S. investors should consult their own tax advisors regarding the potential tax consequences of investing in the Notes.
