approximate the intrinsic economic value of each ETN. Intraday Indicative
Values are for reference purposes only; not a price or quotation, or an offer

Indicative Values do not re? ect transaction costs, credit considerations,

The Market Vectors Currency ETNs are senior unsecured debt obligations of
Morgan Stanley that do not pay interest or guarantee the return of principal.

The amount investors will be paid on their Market Vectors ETNs at maturity or
on any earlier repurchase date will depend on the index closing value of the
underlying Index on the applicable valuation date(s) and on the amount of
investor fees that will have accumulated with respect to the Market Vectors
Currency ETNs. Because the investor fees reduce the amount of payment you may
receive at maturity or upon any earlier repurchase, the level of the underlying
Index on the applicable valuation date(s) must increase suf. ciently to
compensate for the deduction of the investor fees in order for you to receive
at least the stated principal amount of your Market Vectors Currency ETNs at
maturity or upon our earlier repurchase. In order to require the issuer to
repurchase the Market Vectors Currency ETNs, investors must make the request
with respect to at least 50,000 Market Vectors Currency ETNs. Depending on the
index level on the applicable valuation date(s), investors could lose a
substantial portion or even all of their investment.

Market Vectors Currency ETNs can be bought and sold through your broker at any
time and will be subject to brokerage commissions.

Market Vectors Currency ETNs are subject to significant risk of loss. Risks
include exposure to: single currency exchange rates; differences between the
currency forward contracts tracked by the Index and the of.cial spot rate;
changes in the volatility of the Index; changes in the currency markets during
hours when the Market Vectors Currency ETNs are not trading; changes in
interest rate lev els; government intervention in the currency markets;
geopolitical conditions and economical, financial, regulatory, political,
judicial or other events that affect the foreign exchange markets; and Morgan
Stanley's creditworthiness. In addition, currency markets are subject to
temporary distortions or other disruptions due to various factors, including
lack of liquidity, participation of speculators and government regulation and
intervention. As a result, the market value of the Market Vectors Currency ETNs
will vary and may be less than the original issue price at any time over the
term of the Market Vectors Currency ETNs.

amount equal to 0.55% times the principal amount of your ETNs times the Index
Factor on that day (o r, if such day is not a trading day, the Index Factor on
