Senior Notes

Principal Protected Notes due March 15, 2016
Based on the Performance of a Basket Composed of the S&P 500® Index
and the iShares® MSCI EAFE Index Fund
 
Unlike ordinary debt securities, the Principal Protected Notes due March 15, 2016 Based on the Performance of a Basket Composed of the S&P 500® Index and the iShares® MSCI EAFE Index Fund (the “notes”) do not pay interest.  Instead, the notes will pay at maturity the principal amount of $1,000 plus a supplemental redemption amount, if any, based on the performance of a weighted basket composed of the S&P 500® Index (75%), which we refer to as the basket index, and the iShares® MSCI EAFE Index Fund (25%), which we refer to as the basket ETF, each of which we refer to as a basket component.  The performance of the basket will be measured from the date we priced the notes for initial sale to the public, which we refer to as the pricing date, using a final average value or price for each basket component as calculated over thirteen determination dates, one for each month during the final thirteen months prior to maturity, as described below.  If the basket appreciates, the notes will pay a supplemental redemption amount representing 102% of any such appreciation.  The notes are senior unsecured obligations of Morgan Stanley and all payments on the notes, including the repayment of principal, are subject to the credit risk of Morgan Stanley.
•  
The principal amount and original issue price of each note is $1,000.  We will not pay interest on the notes.
•  
At maturity, you will receive, for each $1,000 principal amount of notes that you hold an amount in cash equal to the principal amount plus a supplemental redemption amount, if any, determined as follows:
º  
$1,000 times (i) the basket performance times (ii) 102%, which we refer to as the participation rate.
In no event will the payment at maturity be less than $1,000.
•  
The basket performance will equal the sum of the weighted performance values for each of the basket components.
•  
The performance value for each basket component will be the final average index value or final average share price, as applicable, for such basket component less its initial index value or initial share price, as applicable, divided by such initial index value or initial share price, as applicable.
º  
The initial index value is 1,138.50, which is the index closing value of the basket index on the pricing date.
º  
The initial share price is $54.98, which is the share closing price of the basket ETF on the pricing date.
º  
The final average index value for the basket index will be the arithmetic average of the index closing values on each of the following thirteen days (which we refer to as the determination dates): March 9, 2015, April 8, 2015, May 8, 2015, June 8, 2015, July 8, 2015, August 10, 2015, September 8, 2015, October 8, 2015, November 9, 2015, December 8, 2015, January 8, 2016, February 8, 2016 and March 8, 2016 (which we refer to as the determination dates).  The final average share price for the basket ETF will be the arithmetic average of the share closing prices for the basket ETF, times the adjustment factor, on each determination date.  The determination dates will be subject to adjustment for non-index business days or non-trading days, as applicable, and certain market disruption events affecting the basket index or basket ETF, as applicable.
º  
The adjustment factor for the Basket ETF will initially be set at 1.0 and is subject to change upon certain corporate events affecting the basket ETF.
•  
Investing in the notes is not equivalent to investing directly in the basket components or any of the securities that underlie the basket components.
•  
The notes will not be listed on any securities exchange.
•  
The minimum purchase amount is $1,000 or 1 note, and integral multiples of $1,000 thereafter.
•  
The CUSIP number for the notes is 617482LA0 and the ISIN for the notes is US617482LA03.
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 are riskier than ordinary debt securities.  See “Risk Factors” beginning on PS-10.
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 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 are medium-term debt securities of Morgan Stanley.  The return on the notes is linked to the performance of a basket weighted 75% to the S&P 500® Index (the “basket index”) and 25% to the shares of the iShares® MSCI EAFE Index Fund (the “basket ETF”), each of which we refer to as a basket component.  These notes combine features of a debt investment and an investment in U.S. and developed market equities by offering at maturity 100% principal protection of the original issue price with the opportunity for 102% participation in the appreciation of the weighted basket, if any.  The performance of the basket will be measured from the day we priced the notes for initial sale to the public, which we refer to as the pricing date, using a final average value or price for each basket component as calculated over the thirteen determination dates, one for each month during the final thirteen months prior to maturity, as described below.  The notes are designed for investors who are willing to forgo market floating interest rates on the notes in exchange for a payment at maturity based on the performance of the weighted basket.  All payments on the notes, including the repayment of principal, are subject to the credit risk of Morgan Stanley.
 
“iShares®” is a registered trademark of BlackRock Institutional Trust Company, N.A.  “Standard & Poor’s®,” “S&P®,” “S&P 500®,” “Standard & Poor’s 500” and “500” are trademarks of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. and have been licensed for use by Morgan Stanley.
 
Each note costs $1,000
 
We, Morgan Stanley, are offering the Principal Protected Notes due March 15, 2016 Based on the Performance of a Basket Composed of the S&P 500® Index and the iShares® MSCI EAFE Index Fund, which we refer to as the notes.  The principal amount and original issue price of each note is $1,000.
     
   
The original issue price of the notes includes the agent’s commissions paid with respect to the notes as well as 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 secondary market price, if any, at which Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated, which we refer to as MS & Co. is willing to purchase the notes, is expected to be affected adversely by the inclusion of these commissions and hedging costs in the original issue price.  In addition, the secondary market price may be lower due to the costs of unwinding the related hedging transactions at the time of the secondary market transaction.  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.”

With respect to the basket index and the basket ETF, each of the following days is a determination date: March 9, 2015, April 8, 2015, May 8, 2015, June 8, 2015, July 8, 2015, August 10, 2015, September 8, 2015, October 8, 2015, November 9, 2015, December 8, 2015, January 8, 2016, February 8, 2016 and March 8, 2016.
 
The determination dates will be subject to adjustment for non-index business days or non-trading days, as applicable, and certain market disruption events affecting the basket index or basket ETF, as applicable.

 
The initial index value of the basket index and the initial share price of the basket ETF are together referred to as the “initial basket component values.”
 
The final average index value of the basket index and the final average share price of the basket ETF are together referred to as the “final average basket component values.”
   
 
A basket component’s performance value may be positive or negative.  The basket performance is the sum of the performance values for each of the basket index and the basket ETF.  If the basket performance is less than, or equal to, zero, the supplemental redemption amount will be zero.  In that case, you will receive at maturity only the principal amount of $1,000 for each note that you hold and you will not receive any supplemental redemption amount.
 
If the basket performance is positive, your return on the notes will be equal to 102% of the basket performance.
 
One basket component’s positive performance value may be wholly or partially offset by the other basket component’s negative performance value, such that the basket performance as a whole may be less than or equal to zero, resulting in a supplemental redemption amount of $0 even though one of the basket components has a positive performance value.
 
Furthermore, the two basket components do not have the same basket component weightings.  Therefore, the same percentage change over the term of the notes in both the basket components would have different effects on the basket performance because decreases in the value of the basket index (which is weighted at 75%) could moderate or wholly offset increases in the value of the basket ETF (which is weighted at 25%).
   
 
On PS-8, we have provided a section entitled “Hypothetical Payouts on the Notes at Maturity,” which illustrates the payout on the notes over a range of hypothetical basket performances.  The examples do not show every situation that can occur.
   
 
Please review the historical performance of each of the basket components and also the graph of the historical performance of the basket as a whole for the period from January 1, 2005 through March 8, 2010 in this pricing supplement under “Description of Notes—Historical Information” and “—Historical Graph.”  The graph showing the historical performance of the basket illustrates the effect of any offset between the basket components during such period.  You cannot predict the future performance of either of the basket components or of the basket as a whole, or whether the positive performance of either basket component will be offset by a lesser positive performance or negative performance of the other basket component, based on their historical performance.
 
PS-5

 

 
Investment in the notes involves risks associated with foreign equity securities as well as exposure to the currency exchange risk of the currencies of the component countries of the basket ETF relative to the U.S. dollar
 
The stocks included in the MSCI EAFE Index and that are generally tracked by the basket ETF have been issued by companies in various foreign countries, and the value of such securities will affect the value of your investment.  Because the price of the shares of the basket ETF is related to the U.S. dollar value of stocks underlying the MSCI EAFE Index, 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, and fluctuations in the exchange rate of such currencies relative to the U.S. dollar will affect the value of your investment.  Exposure to this currency exchange risk will depend on the extent to which such currencies strengthen or weaken against the U.S. dollar.
 
MS & Co. will be the calculation agent
 
We have appointed our affiliate MS & Co., to act as calculation agent for The Bank of New York Mellon, a New York banking corporation (as successor to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.), the trustee for our senior notes.  As calculation agent, MS & Co. will determine the initial basket component values, the final average basket component values, the basket component performance values and the basket performance, and will calculate the supplemental redemption amount, if any, and the payment you will receive at maturity.
     
MS & Co. will be the agent; conflicts of interest
 
The agent for the offering of the notes, MS & Co., our wholly-owned subsidiary, will conduct this offering in compliance with the requirements of NASD Rule 2720 of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc., which is commonly referred to as FINRA, regarding a FINRA member firm’s distribution of the notes of an affiliate and related conflicts of interest.  MS & Co. or any of our other affiliates may not make sales in this offering to any discretionary account.  See “Description of Notes—Supplemental Information Concerning Plan of Distribution; Conflicts of Interest” on PS-48.
     
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 generally will 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,” “United States Federal Taxation — Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders — Backup Withholding and Information Reporting” and “United States Federal Taxation — Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders — Disclosure Requirements” in the accompanying prospectus supplement.
 
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 should consult your tax advisers regarding all aspects of the U.S. federal tax consequences of an investment 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 unsecured 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 December 23, 2008 and in the prospectus dated December 23, 2008.  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 in the section of the prospectus called “Description of Debt Securities—Description of Floating 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 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.”  You should 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
 
For each note that you hold at maturity, you will receive the stated principal amount of $1,000 plus a supplemental redemption amount, if any, equal to $1,000 times the basket performance times the participation rate, provided that the supplemental redemption amount will not be less than zero.
 
Below are two full examples of how to calculate the basket performance and the supplemental redemption amount.  The following examples and the table are based on hypothetical data and are provided for illustrative purposes only.  The examples do not show every situation that can occur.
 
Example 1: The basket performance is positive.

Basket Performance = Sum of Performance Values

Basket Index Performance Value
[(Final Average Index Value – Initial Index Value) / Initial Index Value] x 75%, plus
Basket ETF Performance Value
[(Final Average Share Price – Initial Share Price) / Initial Share Price] x 25%
 
So, using the hypothetical initial basket component values and final average basket component values above,
the basket performance is calculated as follows:
 
Basket Index Performance Value
[(1,288.00 – 1,150.00) / 1,150.00] x 75% = 9%, plus
Basket ETF Performance Value
[(67.20 – 60.00) / 60.00] x 25% = 3%

 
Basket performance = 12%
Supplemental redemption amount = $1,000 x basket performance x participation rate
  = $1,000 x 12% x 102%  = $122.40
Payment at maturity  = $1,000 + $122.40 = $1,122.40
 
Because the basket performance is greater than zero, investors will receive at maturity a supplemental redemption amount in addition to the principal amount of the notes.
 
Example 2: The basket performance is negative.

[(Final Average Index Value – Initial Index Value) / Initial Index Value] x 75%, plus
Basket ETF Performance Value
[(Final Average Share Price – Initial Share Price) / Initial Share Price] x 25%

PS-8

 
So, using the hypothetical initial basket component values and final average basket component values above,
the basket performance is calculated as follows:
 
Basket Index Performance Value     
[(1,092.50 – 1,150.00) / 1,150.00] x 75% = 3.75%, plus
Basket ETF Performance Value     
[(66.00 – 60.00) / 60.00] x 25% = 2.5%

 
Basket performance  = – 1.25%
     
Supplemental redemption amount  = $0
     
Payment at maturity =  $1,000
 
Because the basket performance is less than zero, the supplemental redemption amount will be $0 and the payment at maturity per note will be only the $1,000 principal amount.
 
In the above example, the less heavily weighted basket component has a positive performance value.  However, the positive performance value is wholly offset by the negative performance value of the more heavily weighted basket component, resulting in a negative basket performance and, as a result, a supplemental redemption amount of $0.

The notes are not secured debt, are riskier than ordinary debt securities and, unlike ordinary debt securities, the notes do not pay interest.  In addition, investing in the notes is not equivalent to investing directly in the basket components.  This section describes the most significant risks relating to the notes.
 
Unlike ordinary debt securities, 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 be zero, the return on an investment in the notes may be zero and, therefore, less than the amount that would be paid on an ordinary debt security.  Moreover, if the basket does not appreciate sufficiently over the term of the notes, the overall return on the notes may be less than the amount that would be paid on a conventional debt security of the issuer of comparable maturity.  The notes have been designed for investors who are willing to forgo market floating interest rates in exchange for a supplemental redemption amount, if any, based on the performance of a weighted basket of U.S. and developed market equities.
     
You may receive only the principal amount at maturity
 
If the basket performance is equal to or less than zero, no supplemental redemption amount will be paid and you will receive only the stated principal amount of $1,000 for each note you hold at maturity.  The return of only the principal amount at maturity will not compensate you for the effects of inflation and other factors relating to the value of money over time.
     
Market price will 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.  We expect that generally the values of the basket components on any day will affect the value of the notes more than any other single factor.  However, because the payout on the notes is not directly correlated to the values of the basket components, the notes will trade differently from the basket components.  Other factors that may influence the value of the notes include:
 
•           the volatility (frequency and magnitude of changes in value) of each of the basket components,
 
•           interest and yield rates in the market,
 
•           geopolitical conditions and economic, financial, political, regulatory or judicial events that affect the basket components or securities markets generally and which may affect the final average basket component values,
 
•           the exchange rates of the U.S. dollar relative to each of the currencies in which the securities underlying the basket ETF trade,
 
•           dividend rates on the basket ETF and the securities underlying each of the basket components,
 
•            the occurrence of certain events affecting the basket ETF that may or may not require an adjustment to the adjustment factor,
 
•           the time remaining until the notes mature,
 
•           the availability of comparable instruments, and
 
•           any actual or anticipated changes in our credit ratings or credit spreads.
 
Some or all of these factors will influence the price that 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 of $1,000 per note if the values of each of the basket components at the time of sale are at or below the respective
 
PS-10

 
 
    initial basket component values or if market interest rates rise.  You cannot predict the future performance of either of the basket components based on their historical performance.  The basket performance may be negative so that you will receive at maturity only the $1,000 stated principal amount of each note.  There can be no assurance that the basket performance will be positive such that you will receive at maturity an amount in excess of the stated principal amount of the notes.  See “Description of Notes—Historical Information” and “—Historical Graph” beginning on PS-26.
     
The notes are subject to the credit risk of Morgan Stanley, and any actual or anticipated changes to its credit ratings or credit spreads may adversely affect the market value of the notes
 
The term “principal protected” means that, under the terms of the notes, Morgan Stanley is obligated to return to you the stated principal amount at maturity, even if the basket declines in value.  However, as with an ordinary debt security, you are dependent on Morgan Stanley’s ability to pay all amounts due on the notes at maturity and therefore you are subject to the credit risk of Morgan Stanley.  The notes are not guaranteed by any other entity.  If Morgan Stanley defaults on its obligations under the notes, your investment would be at risk and you could lose some or all of your investment.  As a result, the market value of the notes prior to maturity will be affected by changes in the market’s view of Morgan Stanley’s creditworthiness.  Any actual or anticipated decline in Morgan Stanley’s credit ratings or increase in the credit spreads charged by the market for taking Morgan Stanley credit risk is likely to adversely affect the market value of the notes.
     
Changes in the value of one basket component may offset changes in the value of the other basket component; the basket components are not equally weighted
 
Movements in the values of the basket components may not correlate with each other.  At a time when the value of one basket component increases, the value of the other basket component may not increase as much, or may decrease.  Therefore, in calculating the basket performance, increases in the value of one basket component may be moderated, or wholly offset, by lesser increases or decreases in the value of the other basket component.  Furthermore, the basket components do not have the same basket weighting.  The basket index is weighted at 75% of the basket and the basket ETF is weighted at 25% of the basket.  Therefore, the same percentage change over the term of the notes in the basket components would have different effects on the basket performance.  A decrease in the value of the more heavily weighted basket component could moderate or wholly offset an increase in the value of the less heavily weighted basket component.  For example, because the weighting of the basket index is significantly greater than the weighting of the basket ETF, a 5% decrease in the value of the basket index will more than offset a 5% increase in the value of the basket ETF which has a lower weighting.
 
If the basket performance is less than or equal to zero, you will receive at maturity an amount that is equal to the amount of your original investment in the notes, which will not compensate you for the effects of inflation and other factors relating to the value of money over time.
 
You can review the historical performance of each of the basket components and also a graph of the historical performance of the basket as a whole for the period from January 1, 2005 through March 8, 2010 in this pricing supplement under “Description of Notes—Historical Information” and “—Historical Graph” beginning on PS-26.
 
You cannot predict the future performance of the basket components or of the basket as a whole, or whether an increase in the value of one basket component will be offset by a lesser increase or decrease in the value of the other basket component, based on the historical performance of the basket components.
 
PS-11

 
 
The value of a basket component on one determination date may offset the value on another determination date
 
The notes may not pay more than the stated principal amount at maturity even when the values of one or both basket components are higher than their initial values on any one determination date, as such higher values may be partially or entirely offset by lower values on other determination dates.  Consequently, it is possible that you will receive at maturity only the $1,000 stated principal amount for each note you hold even if the basket’s performance has increased as measured on one or more of the determination dates.
     
The notes will not be listed on any securities exchange and secondary trading may be limited
 
The notes will not be listed on any securities exchange.  Therefore, there may be little or no secondary market for the notes.  MS & Co. may, but is not obligated to, make a market in the notes.  Even if there is a secondary market, it may not provide enough liquidity to allow you to trade or sell the notes easily.  Because we do not expect that other broker-dealers will participate significantly in the secondary market for the notes, the price at which you may be able to trade your notes is likely to depend on the price, if any, at which MS & Co. is willing to transact.  If, at any time, MS & Co. were not to make a market in the notes, it is likely that there would be no secondary market for the notes.  Accordingly, you should be willing to hold your notes to maturity.
     
There are risks associated with investments in securities linked to the value of foreign equity securities
 
The shares of the basket ETF track the performance of the MSCI EAFE Index, which is linked to the value of foreign equity securities. 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 issued 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 unfavorably from the economy in the United States in such respects as growth of gross national product, rate of inflation, capital reinvestment, resources, self-sufficiency and balance of payment positions.
     
The notes are subject to currency exchange rate risk
 
Because the price of the shares of the basket ETF is related to the U.S. dollar value of stocks underlying the MSCI EAFE Index, 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.  Exchange rate movements for a particular currency are volatile and are the result of numerous factors specific to that country including the supply of, and the demand for, those currencies, as well as government policy, intervention or actions, but are also influenced significantly from time to time by political or economic developments, and by macroeconomic factors and speculative actions related to each region.  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 price of the shares of the basket ETF 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;
 
 
PS-12

 
 
 
   
existing and expected interest rate levels;
       
    the balance of payments; and
       
   
the extent of governmental surpluses or deficits in the component countries and the 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.
     
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 the notes at any time in secondary market transactions will likely be significantly lower than the original issue price, since secondary market prices are likely to exclude commissions paid with respect to the notes and the cost of hedging our obligations under the notes that are included in the original issue price.  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.  These secondary market prices may be lower than the costs of unwinding the related hedging transactions at the time of the secondary market transaction.  The issuer’s subsidiaries may realize a profit from the expected hedging activity even if investors do not receive a favorable investment return under the terms of the notes or in any secondary market transaction.  In addition, any secondary market 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.
     
Hedging and trading activity by our subsidiaries could potentially affect the value of the notes
 
One or more of our subsidiaries have carried out, and will continue to carry out, hedging activities related to the notes (and to the basket components and other instruments linked to the basket components), including trading in the basket components and in other instruments, securities, contracts and/or indices related to the basket components.  Some of our other subsidiaries also trade the basket components and other instruments, securities, contracts and/or indices linked to the basket components on a regular basis as part of their general broker-dealer and other businesses.  Any of these hedging or trading activities on or prior to the pricing date could have increased the initial basket component values and, therefore, could have increased the values which the basket components must reach on the determination dates before an investor would receive a payment at maturity that exceeds the original issue price of the notes.  Additionally, such hedging or trading activities during the term of the notes, including on the determination dates, could adversely affect the values of the basket components on the determination dates and, accordingly, the amount of cash an investor will receive at maturity.
     
The calculation agent, which is a subsidiary of the issuer, will make determinations with respect to the notes
 
As calculation agent, MS & Co. has determined the initial basket component values and will determine the final average basket component values, the basket component performance values, the basket performance, whether any changes to the adjustment factor for the basket ETF are required and whether any market disruption event has occurred, and will calculate the amount of cash you will receive at maturity.  Determinations made by MS & Co. in its capacity as calculation agent, including with respect to the occurrence or non-occurrence of market disruption events and the calculation of the performance value of either basket component in the event of a market disruption event, may adversely affect the payout to you at maturity.  See the sections of this pricing supplement called “Description of Notes—Market Disruption Events,” “—Discontinuance of the Basket ETF and/or the ETF Underlying Index; Alteration of Method of Calculation” and “—Discontinuance of the Basket Index; Alteration of Method of Calculation” below.
 
PS-13

 
 
Adjustments to the basket index could adversely affect the value of the notes
 
Standard & Poor’s, a Division of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., which we refer to as S&P, is responsible for calculating and maintaining the basket index.  S&P can add, delete or substitute the stocks underlying the basket index or make other methodological changes that could change the value of the basket index.  S&P may discontinue or suspend calculation or dissemination of the basket index.  Any of these actions could adversely affect the value of the notes.
 
If S&P discontinues or suspends calculation or publication of the basket index at any time, MS & Co., as the calculation agent, will have the sole discretion to substitute a successor index that is comparable to the discontinued basket index.  MS & Co. could have an economic interest that is different than that of investors in the notes insofar as, for example, MS & Co. is not precluded from considering indices that are calculated and published by MS & Co. or any of its affiliates.  If MS & Co. determines that there is no appropriate successor index on any determination date, the value of the basket index for that day and any subsequent determination date will be based on the closing prices of the stocks underlying the basket index at the time of such discontinuance, without rebalancing or substitution, computed by MS & Co., as calculation agent, in accordance with the formula for calculating the basket index last in effect prior to such discontinuance.
     
The basket ETF and the index tracked by the basket ETF are different
 
The performance of the basket ETF may not exactly replicate the performance of the MSCI EAFE Index because the basket ETF will reflect transaction costs and fees that are not included in the calculation of the MSCI EAFE Index.  It is also possible that the basket ETF 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 the basket ETF, differences in trading hours between the basket ETF and the MSCI EAFE Index or due to other circumstances.  The basket ETF generally invests at least 90% of its assets in the securities of the MSCI EAFE Index and in depositary receipts representing securities of such index.  The basket ETF may invest the remainder of its assets in other securities, including securities not included in the MSCI EAFE Index, futures contracts, options on futures contracts, other types of options and swaps related to the MSCI EAFE Index, as well as cash and cash equivalents, including shares of money market funds affiliated with the investment adviser to the basket ETF.
     
The antidilution adjustments the calculation agent is required to make do not cover every event that can affect the basket ETF
 
MS & Co., as calculation agent, will adjust the adjustment factor for the basket ETF for certain events affecting the basket ETF, such as stock splits and stock dividends.  However, the calculation agent will not make an adjustment for every event or every distribution that could affect the basket ETF.  If an event occurs that does not require the calculation agent to adjust the adjustment factor, the market price of the notes may be materially and adversely affected.  The determination by the calculation agent to adjust, or not to adjust, an adjustment factor may materially and adversely affect the market price of the notes.
     
Adjustments to the basket ETF or the index tracked by the basket ETF could adversely affect the value of the notes
 
The investment adviser to the basket ETF, BlackRock Fund Advisors (the “Investment Adviser”) seeks investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the MSCI EAFE Index.  Pursuant to its investment strategy or otherwise, the Investment Advisor may add, delete or substitute the stocks composing the basket ETF.  Any of these actions could adversely affect the price of the shares of the basket ETF and, consequently, the value of the notes.  MSCI Inc. (“MSCI”) is responsible for calculating and maintaining the MSCI EAFE Index.  MSCI may add, delete or substitute the stocks constituting the MSCI EAFE Index or make other methodological changes that could change the value of the MSCI EAFE Index.  MSCI may also discontinue or suspend calculation or publication of the MSCI
 
PS-14

 
 
    EAFE Index at any time.  Any of these actions could adversely affect the value of the MSCI EAFE Index and, consequently, the value of the notes.
     
Investing in the notes is not equivalent to investing in the basket components
 
As a holder of the notes, you will not have rights that holders of the basket components may have.  Investing in the notes is not equivalent to investing in the basket index or its component stocks or the basket ETF or its component stocks.  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 shares of the basket ETF or the stocks that underlie the basket components.  The notes will provide less opportunity for appreciation than an investment in a similar security that is directly linked to the appreciation of the basket and is not subject to a maximum payment at maturity.

Share Closing Price
 
Subject to the provisions set out under “—Discontinuance of the Basket ETF and/or the ETF Underlying Index; Alteration of Method of Calculation” and “—Antidilution Adjustments” below, the Share Closing Price for one share of the Basket ETF on any Trading Day means:
 
PS-18

 
 
 
(i) if the Basket ETF is listed or admitted to trading on a national securities exchange (other than The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (“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 Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), on which the Basket ETF (or any such other security) is listed or admitted to trading,
     
 
(ii) if the shares of the Basket ETF are securities of the NASDAQ, the official closing price published by the NASDAQ on such day, or
     
 
(iii) if the Basket ETF is 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 Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc., the last reported sale price of the principal trading session on the OTC Bulletin Board on such day.  If the Basket ETF is 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 Share Closing Price for one share of the Basket ETF 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 Basket ETF and/or the ETF Underlying Index; Alteration of Method of Calculation” and “—Antidilution Adjustments” below.
     
Adjustment Factor
 
1.0, subject to adjustment in the event of certain events affecting the Basket ETF.  See “—Antidilution Adjustments” below.
     
Antidilution Adjustments
 
If the Basket ETF is 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 share of the Basket ETF.
     
 
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.
     
Trading Day
 
Trading Day means a day, as determined by the Calculation Agent, on which trading is generally conducted on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), the NASDAQ, 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.
     
Index Business Day
 
Index Business Day means a day, for the Basket Index, as determined by the Calculation Agent, on which trading is

Relevant Exchange
 
Relevant Exchange means: (a) with respect to the Basket Index or its Successor Index, the primary exchange(s) or market(s) of trading for (i) any security then included in such index and (ii) any futures or options contracts related to such index or to any security then included in such index and (b) with respect to the Basket ETF, the primary exchange or market of trading for any security (or any combination thereof) then included in the ETF Underlying Index or the ETF Successor Index (as defined under “—Discontinuance of the Basket ETF and/or the ETF Underlying Index; Alteration of Method of Calculation”).
     
Market Disruption Event
 
Market Disruption Event means:
     
   
(A) with respect to the Basket Index,
     
 
(i) the occurrence or existence of a suspension, absence or material limitation of trading of securities then constituting 20 percent or more of the value of the Basket Index (or the Successor Index) on the Relevant Exchange(s) 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 Exchange(s); or a breakdown or failure in the price and trade reporting systems of any Relevant Exchange as a result of which the reported trading prices for securities then constituting 20 percent or more of the value of the Basket Index (or the Successor Index) during the last one-half hour preceding the close of the principal trading session on such Relevant Exchange(s) are materially inaccurate; or the suspension, material limitation or absence of trading on any major U.S. securities market for trading in futures or options contracts or exchange-traded funds related to the Basket Index (or the Successor Index) 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
     
 
(ii) a determination by the Calculation Agent in its sole discretion that any event described in clause (i) 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.
 
PS-20

 
 
 
For the purpose of determining whether a Market Disruption Event exists at any time, if trading in a security included in the Basket Index is materially suspended or materially limited at that time, then the relevant percentage contribution of that security to the value of the Basket Index shall be based on a comparison of (x) the portion of the value of the Basket Index attributable to that security relative to (y) the overall value of the Basket Index, in each case immediately before that suspension or limitation.
     
 
For the purpose of determining whether a Market Disruption Event exists at any time: (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 exchange-traded fund will not constitute a Market Disruption Event, (3) a suspension of trading in futures or options contracts or exchange-traded funds on the Basket Index by the primary securities market trading in such contracts or funds 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 funds or (C) a disparity in bid and ask quotes relating to such contracts or funds will constitute a suspension, absence or material limitation of trading in futures or options contracts or exchange-traded funds related to the Basket Index and (4) a “suspension, absence or material limitation of trading” on any Relevant Exchange or on the primary market on which futures or options contracts or exchange-traded funds related to the Basket Index are traded will not include any time when such securities market is itself closed for trading under ordinary circumstances.
     
   
(B) with respect to the Basket ETF,
     
 
(i) the occurrence or existence of a suspension, absence or material limitation of trading of shares of the Basket ETF on the primary market for such 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 Basket ETF as a result of which the reported trading prices for shares of the Basket ETF 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 Basket ETF, 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
 
PS-21

 
 
 
(ii) the occurrence or existence of a suspension, absence or material limitation of trading of securities then constituting 20 percent or more of the value of the ETF Underlying Index on the Relevant Exchange(s) 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 Exchange(s), in each case as determined by the Calculation Agent in its sole discretion; or
 
(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 ETF Underlying Index or the Basket ETF 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 clause (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 ETF Underlying Index is materially suspended or materially limited at that time, then the relevant percentage contribution of that security to the value of the ETF Underlying Index shall be based on a comparison of (x) the portion of the value of the ETF Underlying Index attributable to that security relative to (y) the overall value of the ETF Underlying 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 futures or options contract related to the ETF Underlying Index or the Basket ETF will not constitute a Market Disruption Event, (3) a suspension of trading in futures or options contracts on the ETF Underlying Index or the Basket ETF 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 ETF Underlying Index or the Basket ETF and (4) 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 ETF

Discontinuance of the Basket Index;
   
Alteration of Method of Calculation
 
If the Index Publisher discontinues publication of the Basket Index and the Index Publisher 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 Basket Index (such index being referred to herein as the “Successor Index”), then any subsequent Index Closing Value will be determined by reference to the published value of such Successor Index at the regular weekday close of trading on any Index Business Day that the Index Closing Value is to be determined.
 
Upon any selection by the Calculation Agent of the 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 Business Days of such selection.  We expect that such notice will be made available 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 the Index Publisher discontinues publication of the Basket Index or the Successor Index prior to, and such discontinuance is continuing on, any Determination Date or the date of acceleration 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 the Index Closing Value for each such remaining Determination Date(s) or such date of acceleration.  The Index Closing Value of the Basket Index or the Successor Index will be computed by the Calculation Agent in accordance with the formula for and method of calculating such 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 the close of the principal trading session of the Relevant Exchange on any such Determination Date(s) or such date of acceleration of each security most recently constituting such index without any rebalancing or substitution of such securities following such discontinuance.  Notwithstanding these alternative arrangements, discontinuance of the publication of the Basket Index may adversely affect the value of the Notes.
 
If at any time, the method of calculating the Basket Index or the Successor Index, or the value thereof, is changed in a material respect, or if the Basket Index or the Successor Index is in any other way modified so that such index does not, in the opinion of MS & Co., as the Calculation Agent, fairly represent the value of such index had such changes or modifications not been made, then, from and after such time, the Calculation Agent will, at the close of business in New York City on each date on which the
 
PS-23

 
 
  Index Closing Value is to be determined, make such calculations and adjustments as, in the good faith judgment of the Calculation Agent, may be necessary in order to arrive at a value of a stock index comparable to the Basket Index or the Successor Index, as the case may be, as if such changes or modifications had not been made, and the Calculation Agent will calculate the Final Average Index Value for any remaining Determination Date(s) following such change or modification with reference to the Basket Index or the Successor Index, as adjusted.  Accordingly, if the method of calculating the Basket Index or the Successor Index is modified so that the value of such index is a fraction of what it would have been if it had not been modified (e.g., due to a split in the index), then the Calculation Agent will adjust such index in order to arrive at a value of the Basket Index or the Successor Index as if it had not been modified (e.g., as if such split had not occurred).
     
Discontinuance of the Basket ETF and/or the
   
ETF Underlying Index; Alteration of Method
   
of Calculation
 
If the Basket ETF is liquidated or otherwise terminated (a “Liquidation Event”), the Share Closing Price of the Basket ETF on any Determination Date or the date of acceleration following the Liquidation Event will be determined by the Calculation Agent and will be deemed to equal the product of (i) the closing value of the ETF Underlying Index (or the ETF Successor Index) on such date (taking into account any material changes in the method of calculating the ETF Underlying Index or ETF Successor Index following such Liquidation Event) times (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Share Closing Price of the Basket ETF and the denominator of which is the closing value of the ETF Underlying Index (or the ETF Successor Index), each determined as of the last day prior to the occurrence of the Liquidation Event on which a Share Closing Price of the Basket ETF was available.
 
If, following a Liquidation Event, the index publisher of the ETF Underlying Index discontinues publication of such index and such index publisher 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 ETF Underlying Index (the “ETF Successor Index”), then any subsequent Share Closing Price on any Trading Day will be determined by reference to the published value of such ETF Successor Index at the regular weekday close of trading on such Trading Day.
 
Upon any selection by the Calculation Agent of an ETF 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 Business Days of such selection.  We expect that such notice will be made available 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, following a Liquidation Event, the index publisher of the ETF Underlying Index discontinues publication of the such index prior to, and such discontinuance is continuing on, any Determination Date or on the date of acceleration 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 the Share Closing Price for each such remaining Determination Date(s) or such date of acceleration.  The Share Closing Price will be computed by the Calculation Agent in accordance with the formula for calculating the ETF Underlying 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 the close of the principal trading session of the relevant exchange on any Determination Date(s) or date of acceleration of each security most recently composing the ETF Underlying Index without any rebalancing or substitution of such securities following such discontinuance.  Notwithstanding these alternative arrangements, discontinuance of the publication of the ETF Underlying 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 Stated Principal Amount upon any acceleration of the Notes (the “Acceleration Amount”) will be determined by the Calculation Agent and will be an amount in cash equal to the Payment at Maturity calculated as though the Index Closing Value or Share Closing Price, as applicable, of the Basket Components

on the date of acceleration (times the Adjustment Factor on such date in the case of the Basket ETF), were the Index Closing Value or Share Closing Price for such Basket Component for each of the remaining Determination Date(s) scheduled to occur on or after such date of acceleration.
     
   
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.

All determinations made by the Calculation Agent will be at the sole discretion of the Calculation Agent and will, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive for all purposes and binding on you, the Trustee and us.
     
   
All calculations with respect to the Payment at Maturity will be made by the Calculation Agent and will be rounded to the nearest one billionth, with five ten-billionths rounded upward (e.g., .9876543215 would be rounded to .987654322); 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 affiliate, 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 must make in determining the Initial Index Value and the Final Average Index Value of the Basket Index, the Initial Share Price and the Final Average Share Price of the Basket ETF, the Basket Performance and the Supplemental Redemption Amount, if any, or whether a Market Disruption Event has occurred or any Antidilution Adjustment is required.  See “—Market Disruption Event” and “—Antidilution Adjustments” above.  MS & Co. is obligated to carry out its duties and functions as Calculation Agent in good faith and using its reasonable judgment.

Historical Information
 
The following tables set forth the published high, low and end of quarter closing values for each of the Basket Components for each calendar quarter in the period from January 1, 2005 through March 8, 2010.  The graphs following each Basket Component’s table set forth the historical performance of each respective Basket Component for the same period.  On March 8, 2010, the Index Closing Value for the Basket Index was 1,138.50 and the Share Closing Price for the Basket ETF was $54.98.  We obtained the information in the tables and graphs from Bloomberg Financial Markets, without independent verification. The historical performance of the Basket Components should not be taken as an indication of their future performance.  We cannot give you any assurance that the Basket Performance will be greater than zero so that you will receive a Payment at Maturity in excess of the Stated Principal Amount of the Notes.  The Basket Components may be, and have been, extremely volatile, and we can give you no assurance that the volatility will lessen.

The S&P 500® Index
 
The S&P 500® Index was developed by Standard & Poor’s, a Division of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., which we refer to as S&P, and is calculated, maintained and published by S&P.
     
   
The S&P 500® Index is intended to provide a performance benchmark for the U.S. equity markets.  The calculation of the value of the S&P 500® Index (discussed below in further detail) is based on the relative value of the aggregate Market Value (as defined below) of the common stocks of 500 companies (the “S&P 500® Component Stocks”) as of a particular time as compared to the aggregate average Market Value of the common stocks of 500 similar companies during the base period of the years 1941 through 1943.  The “Market Value” of any S&P 500® Component Stock is the product of the market price per share and the number of the then outstanding shares of such S&P 500® Component Stock.  The 500 companies are not the 500 largest companies listed on the NYSE and not all 500 companies are listed on such exchange.  S&P chooses companies for inclusion in the S&P 500® Index with an aim of achieving a distribution by broad industry groupings that approximates the distribution of these groupings in the common stock population of the U.S. equity market.  S&P may from time to time, in its sole discretion, add companies to, or delete companies from, the S&P 500® Index to achieve the objectives stated above.  Relevant criteria employed by S&P include the viability of the particular company, the extent to which that company represents the industry group to which it is assigned, the extent to which the company’s common stock is widely-held and the Market Value and trading activity of the common stock of that company.
     
   
The S&P 500® Index and S&P’s other U.S. indices moved to a float adjustment methodology in 2005 so that the indices reflect only those shares that are generally available to investors in the market rather than all of a company’s outstanding shares.  Float adjustment excludes shares that are closely held by other publicly traded companies, venture capital firms, private equity firms, strategic partners or leveraged buyout groups; government entities; or other control groups, such as a company’s own current or former officers, board members, founders, employee stock ownership plans or other investment vehicles controlled by the company or such other persons.
     
   
The S&P 500® Index is calculated using a base-weighted aggregate methodology: the level of the S&P 500® Index reflects the total Market Value of all 500 S&P 500® Component Stocks relative to the S&P 500® Index’s base period of 1941-43 (the “Base Period”).
     
   
An indexed number is used to represent the results of this calculation in order to make the value easier to work with and track over time.
     
   
The actual total Market Value of the S&P 500® Component Stocks during the Base Period has been set equal to an indexed
     
 
 
PS-30

 
   
value of 10.  This is often indicated by the notation 1941-43=10.  In practice, the daily calculation of the S&P 500® Index is computed by dividing the total Market Value of the S&P 500 Component Stocks by a number called the “S&P 500 Index Divisor.”  By itself, the S&P 500 Index Divisor is an arbitrary number.  However, in the context of the calculation of the S&P 500® Index, it is the only link to the original base period value of the S&P 500® Index.  The S&P 500® Index Divisor keeps the S&P 500® Index comparable over time and is the manipulation point for all adjustments to the S&P 500® Index (“S&P 500 Index Maintenance”).
     
   
S&P 500® Index Maintenance includes monitoring and completing the adjustments for company additions and deletions, share changes, stock splits, stock dividends and stock price adjustments due to company restructurings or spinoffs.
     
   
To prevent the value of the S&P 500® Index from changing due to corporate actions, all corporate actions which affect the total Market Value of the S&P 500® Index require a S&P 500® Index Divisor adjustment.  By adjusting the S&P 500® Index Divisor for the change in total Market Value, the value of the S&P 500® Index remains constant.  This helps maintain the value of the S&P 500® Index as an accurate barometer of stock market performance and ensures that the movement of the S&P 500® Index does not reflect the corporate actions of individual companies in the S&P 500® Index.  All S&P 500® Index Divisor adjustments are made after the close of trading and after the calculation of the closing value of the S&P 500® Index.  Some corporate actions, such as stock splits and stock dividends, require simple changes in the common shares outstanding and the stock prices of the companies in the S&P 500® Index and do not require S&P 500® Index Divisor adjustments.
     
   
The table below summarizes the types of S&P 500® Index maintenance adjustments and indicates whether or not a S&P 500® Index Divisor adjustment is required:

Stock splits and stock dividends do not affect the S&P 500® Index Divisor of the S&P 500® Index, because following a split or dividend both the stock price and number of shares outstanding are adjusted by S&P so that there is no change in the Market Value of the S&P 500® Component Stock.  All stock split and dividend adjustments are made after the close of trading on the day before the ex-date.
     
   
Each of the corporate events exemplified in the table requiring an adjustment to the S&P 500® Index Divisor has the effect of altering the Market Value of the S&P 500® Component Stock and consequently of altering the aggregate Market Value of the S&P 500 Component Stocks (the “Post-Event Aggregate Market Value”).  In order that the level of the S&P 500® Index (the “Pre-Event Index Value”) not be affected by the altered Market Value (whether increase or decrease) of the affected S&P 500® Component Stock, a new S&P 500® Index Divisor (“New S&P 500® Divisor”) is derived as follows:
     
   
     
   
A large part of the S&P 500® Index maintenance process involves tracking the changes in the number of shares outstanding of each of the S&P 500® Index companies.  Four times a year, on a Friday close to the end of each calendar quarter, the share totals of companies in the S&P 500® Index are updated as required by any changes in the number of shares outstanding.  After the totals are updated, the S&P 500® Index Divisor is adjusted to compensate for the net change in the total Market Value of the S&P 500® Index.  In addition, any changes over 5% in the current common shares outstanding for the S&P 500® Index companies are carefully reviewed on a weekly basis, and when appropriate, an immediate adjustment is made to the S&P 500® Index Divisor.

The MSCI EAFE Index®
     
   
The MSCI EAFE Index® is calculated, published and disseminated daily by MSCI Inc., through numerous data vendors, on the MSCI website and a majority of them in real time on Bloomberg Financial Markets and Reuters Limited.
     
   
The MSCI EAFE Index® is a free float-adjusted market capitalization index that is designed to measure the equity market performance of developed markets, excluding the United States and Canada.  As of December 2009, the MSCI EAFE Index consisted of the following 21 developed market country indices: Australia, Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hong Kong, Ireland, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.  The MSCI EAFE Index includes components from Australia and New Zealand and all countries in Europe and Asia that are designated by MSCI as Developed Markets.  The MSCI EAFE Index was developed with a base value of 100 as of December 31, 1969.  The MSCI EAFE Index is reported by Bloomberg Financial Markets under ticker symbol “MXEA.”
     
   
MSCI undertakes an index construction process, which involves: (i) defining the Equity Universe; (ii) determining the Market Investable Equity Universe for each market; (iii) determining market capitalization size segments for each market; (iv) applying Index Continuity Rules for the MSCI Standard Index; (v) creating style segments within each size segment within each market; and (vi) classifying securities under the Global Industry Classification Standard (“GICS®”).
     
   
Defining the Equity Universe
     
   
(i) Identifying Eligible Equity Securities: The Equity Universe initially looks at securities listed in any of the countries in the MSCI Global Index Series, which will be classified as either Developed Markets (“DM”) or Emerging Markets (“EM”). All listed equity securities, or listed securities that exhibit characteristics of equity securities, except mutual funds, exchange-traded funds, equity derivatives, limited partnerships, and most investment trusts, are eligible for inclusion in the Equity Universe. Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”) in some countries and certain income trusts in Canada are also eligible for inclusion.
     
   
(ii) Country Classification of Eligible Securities: Each company and its securities (i.e., share classes) are classified in one and only one country, which allows for sorting of each company by its respective country.
     
 
 
PS-35

 
   
Determining the Market Investable Equity Universes
     
   
A Market Investable Equity Universe for a market is derived by applying investability screens to individual companies and securities in the Equity Universe that are classified in that market. A market is equivalent to a single country, except in DM Europe, where all DM countries in Europe are aggregated into a single market for index construction purposes. Subsequently, individual DM Europe country indices within the MSCI Europe Index are derived from the constituents of the MSCI Europe Index under the Global Investable Market Indices methodology.
     
   
The investability screens used to determine the Investable Equity Universe in each market are as follows:
     
   
(i) Equity Universe Minimum Size Requirement: This investability screen is applied at the company level. In order to be included in a Market Investable Equity Universe, a company must have the required minimum full market capitalization. A company will meet this requirement if its cumulative free float-adjusted market capitalization is within the top 99% of the sorted Equity Universe.
     
   
(ii) Equity Universe Minimum Float-Adjusted Market Capitalization Requirement: This investability screen is applied at the individual security level. To be eligible for inclusion in a Market Investable Equity Universe, a security must have a free float-adjusted market capitalization equal to or higher than 50% of the Equity Universe Minimum Size Requirement.
     
   
(iii) DM and EM Minimum Liquidity Requirement: This investability screen is applied at the individual security level. To be eligible for inclusion in a Market Investable Equity Universe, a security must have adequate liquidity. The Annualized Traded Value Ratio (“ATVR”), a measure that offers the advantage of screening out extreme daily trading volumes and taking into account the free float-adjusted market capitalization size of securities, is used to measure liquidity. In the calculation of the ATVR, the trading volumes in depository receipts associated with that security, such as ADRs or GDRs, are also considered. A minimum liquidity level of 20% ATVR is required for inclusion of a security in a Market Investable Equity Universe of a Developed Market, and a minimum liquidity level of 15% ATVR is required for inclusion of a security in a Market Investable Equity Universe of an Emerging Market.
     
   
(iv) Global Minimum Foreign Inclusion Factor Requirement: This investability screen is applied at the individual security level. To be eligible for inclusion in a Market Investable Equity Universe, a security’s Foreign Inclusion Factor (“FIF”) must reach a certain threshold. The FIF of a security is defined as the proportion of shares outstanding that is available for purchase in the public equity markets by international investors. This proportion accounts for the available free float of and/or the foreign
     
 
 
PS-36

 
   
ownership limits applicable to a specific security (or company). In general, a security must have an FIF equal to or larger than 0.15 to be eligible for inclusion in a Market Investable Equity Universe. Exceptions to this general rule are made only in the limited cases where the exclusion of securities of a very large company would compromise the MSCI EAFE Index’s ability to fully and fairly represent the characteristics of the underlying market.
     
   
(v) Minimum Length of Trading Requirement: This investability screen is applied at the individual security level. For an initial public offering (“IPO”) to be eligible for inclusion in a Market Investable Equity Universe, the new issue must have started trading at least four months before the implementation of the initial construction of the index or at least three months before the implementation of a Semi-Annual Index Review. This requirement is applicable to small new issues in all markets. Large IPOs are not subject to the Minimum Length of Trading Requirement and may be included in a Market Investable Equity Universe and the Standard Index outside of a Quarterly or Semi-Annual Index Review.
     
   
Defining Market Capitalization Size Segments for Each Market
     
   
Once a Market Investable Equity Universe is defined, it is segmented into the following size-based indices:

   
Investable Market Index (Large + Mid + Small)
       
   
Standard Index (Large + Mid)
       
   
Large Cap Index
       
   
Mid Cap Index
       
   
Small Cap Index

   
Creating the Size Segment Indices in each market involves the following steps: (i) defining the Market Coverage Target Range for each size segment; (ii) determining the Global Minimum Size Range for each size segment; (iii) determining the Market Size-Segment Cutoffs and associated Segment Number of Companies; (iv) assigning companies to the size segments; and (v) applying final size-segment investability requirements and index continuity rules.
     
   
Index Continuity Rules for the Standard Indices
     
   
In order to achieve index continuity, as well as provide some basic level of diversification within a market index, notwithstanding the effect of other index construction rules, a minimum number of five constituents will be maintained for a DM Standard Index and a minimum number of three constituents will be maintained for an EM Standard Index.  The application of this requirement involves the following steps:
     
 
 
PS-37

 
   
If after the application of the index construction methodology, a Standard Index contains fewer than five securities in a Developed Market or three securities in an Emerging Market, then the largest securities by free float-adjusted market capitalization are added to the Standard Index in order to reach five constituents in that Developed Market or three in that Emerging Market. At subsequent Index Reviews, if the free float-adjusted market capitalization of a non-index constituent is at least 1.50 times the free float-adjusted market capitalization of the smallest existing constituent after rebalancing, the larger free float-adjusted market capitalization security replaces the smaller one.
     
   
Creating Style Indices within Each Size Segment
     
   
All securities in the investable equity universe are classified into Value or Growth segments using the MSCI Global Value and Growth methodology.
     
   
Classifying Securities under the Global Industry Classification Standard (“GICS®”)
     
   
All securities in the Global Investable Equity Universe are assigned to the industry that best describes their business activities. To this end, MSCI has designed, in conjunction with S&P’s, the GICS®.  The GICS entails four levels of classification:  (1) sector; (2) industry group; (3) industries; and (4) sub-industries. Under the GICS, each company is assigned to one sub-industry according to its principal business activity. Therefore, a company can belong to only one industry grouping at each of the four levels of the GICS.
     
   
Index Maintenance
     
   
The MSCI Global Investable Market Indices are maintained with the objective of reflecting the evolution of the underlying equity markets and segments on a timely basis, while seeking to achieve index continuity, continuous investability of constituents and replicability of the indices, and index stability and low index turnover.
     
   
In particular, index maintenance involves:
     
   
(i) Semi-Annual Index Reviews (“SAIRs”) in May and November of the Size Segment and Global Value and Growth Indices which include:

   
Updating the indices on the basis of a fully refreshed Equity Universe.
       
   
Taking buffer rules into consideration for migration of securities across size and style segments.
       
   
Updating FIFs and Number of Shares (“NOS”).
 
 
PS-38


 
   
The objective of the SAIRs is to systematically reassess the various dimensions of the Equity Universe for all markets on a fixed semi-annual timetable. A SAIR involves a comprehensive review of the Size Segment and Global Value and Growth Indices.
     
   
(ii) Quarterly Index Reviews (“QIRs”) in February and August (in addition to the SAIRs in May and November) of the Size Segment Indices aimed at:

   
Including significant new eligible securities (such as IPOs that were not eligible for earlier inclusion) in the index.
       
   
Allowing for significant moves of companies within the Size Segment Indices, using wider buffers than in the SAIR.
       
   
Reflecting the impact of significant market events on FIFs and updating NOS.

   
QIRs are designed to ensure that the indices continue to be an accurate reflection of the evolving equity marketplace. This is achieved by a timely reflection of significant market driven changes that were not captured in the index at the time of their actual occurrence but are significant enough to be reflected before the next SAIR. QIRs may result in additions or deletions due to migration to another Size Segment Index, and changes in FIFs and in NOS. Only additions of significant new investable companies are considered, and only for the Standard Index. The buffer zones used to manage the migration of companies from one segment to another are wider than those used in the SAIR. The style classification is reviewed only for companies that are reassigned to a different size segment.
     
   
(iii) Ongoing event-related changes. 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 generally are reflected in the indices at the time of the event. Significantly large IPOs are included in the indices after the close of the company’s tenth day of trading.
     
   
Announcement Policy
     
   
The results of the SAIRs are announced at least two weeks in advance of their effective implementation dates as of the close of the last business day of May and November.
     
   
The results of the QIRs are announced at least two weeks in advance of their effective implementation dates as of the close of the last business day of February and August.
     
   
All changes resulting from corporate events are announced prior to their implementation in the MSCI indices.
     
 
 
PS-39

 
   
The changes are typically announced at least ten business days prior to the changes becoming effective in the indices as an “expected” announcement, or as an “undetermined” announcement, when the effective dates are not known yet or when aspects of the event are uncertain. MSCI sends “confirmed” announcements at least two business days prior to events becoming effective in the indices, provided that all necessary public information concerning the event is available. The full list of all new and pending changes is delivered to clients on a daily basis, at 5:30 p.m., US Eastern Time.
     
   
In exceptional cases, events are announced during market hours for same or next day implementation. Announcements made by MSCI during market hours are usually linked to late company disclosure of corporate events or unexpected changes to previously announced corporate events.
     
   
In the case of secondary offerings representing more than 5% of a security’s number of shares for existing constituents, these changes will be announced prior to the end of the subscription period when possible and a subsequent announcement confirming the details of the event (including the date of implementation) will be made as soon as the results are available.
     
   
Both primary equity offerings and secondary offerings for U.S. securities, representing at least 5% of the security’s number of shares, will be confirmed through an announcement during market hours for next day or shortly after implementation, as the completion of the events cannot be confirmed prior to the notification of the pricing.
     
   
Early deletions of constituents due to bankruptcy or other significant cases are announced as soon as practicable prior to their implementation in the MSCI indices.
     
   
For Standard Index constituents, a more descriptive text announcement is sent to clients for significant events that meet any of the following criteria:

   
Additions and deletions of constituents.
       
   
Changes in free float-adjusted market capitalization equal to or larger than USD 5 billion, or with an impact of at least 1% of the constituent’s underlying country index.

   
If warranted, MSCI Inc. may make additional announcements for events that are complex in nature and for which additional clarification could be beneficial.
     
   
IPOs and Other Early Inclusions. Early inclusions of large IPOs in the MSCI Standard Index Series are announced no earlier than the first day of trading and no later than before the opening of the third day of trading in the market where the company has its primary listing. Early inclusions of already listed securities following large secondary offerings of new and/or existing shares
     
 
 
PS-40

 
   
are announced no earlier than shortly after the end of the offer period.
     
   
GICS®. Non-event related changes in industry classification at the sub-industry level are announced at least two weeks prior to their implementation as of the close of the last U.S. business day of each month. MSCI announces GICS changes twice a month, the first announcement being made on the first U.S. business day of the month and the second one being made at least ten U.S. business days prior to the last U.S. business day of the month. All GICS changes announced in a given month will be implemented as of the close of the last U.S. business day of the month.
     
   
Index Calculation
     
   
Price Index Level
     
   
The MSCI indices are calculated using the Laspeyres’ concept of a weighted arithmetic average together with the concept of chain-linking.  As a general principle, the level of the relevant MSCI index level is obtained by applying the change in the market performance to the previous period level for such MSCI index.

Corporate Events
     
   
Mergers and Acquisitions. As a general principle, MSCI implements M&As as of the close of the last trading day of the acquired entity or merging entities (last offer day for tender offers), regardless of the status of the securities (index constituents or non-index constituents) involved in the event.
     
 
 
PS-43

 
   
MSCI uses market prices for implementation. This principle applies if all necessary information is available prior to the completion of the event and if the liquidity of the relevant constituent(s) is not expected to be significantly diminished on the day of implementation. Otherwise, MSCI will determine the most appropriate implementation method and announce it prior to the changes becoming effective in the indices.
     
   
Tender Offers. In tender offers, the acquired or merging security is generally deleted from the MSCI indices at the end of the initial offer period, when the offer is likely to be successful and/or if the free float of the security is likely to be substantially reduced (this rule is applicable even if the offer is extended), or once the results of the offer have been officially communicated and the offer has been successful and the security’s free float has been substantially reduced, if all required information is not available in advance or if the offer’s outcome is uncertain. The main factors considered by MSCI when assessing the outcome of a tender offer (not in order of importance) are: the announcement of the offer as friendly or hostile, a comparison of the offer price to the acquired security’s market price, the recommendation by the acquired company’s board of directors, the major shareholders’ stated intention whether to tender their shares, the required level of acceptance, the existence of pending regulatory approvals, market perception of the transaction, official preliminary results if any, and other additional conditions for the offer.
     
   
If a security is deleted from an index, the security will not be reinstated immediately after its deletion even when the tender offer is subsequently declared unsuccessful and/or the free float of the security is not substantially reduced. It may be reconsidered for index inclusion in the context of a quarterly index review or annual full country index review. MSCI uses market prices for implementation.
     
   
Late Announcements of Completion of Mergers and Acquisitions. When the completion of an event is announced too late to be reflected as of the close of the last trading day of the acquired or merging entities, implementation occurs as of the close of the following day or as soon as practicable thereafter. In these cases, MSCI uses a calculated price for the acquired or merging entities. The calculated price is determined using the terms of the transaction and the price of the acquiring or merged entity, or, if not appropriate, using the last trading day’s market price of the acquired or merging entities.
     
   
Conversions of Share Classes. Conversions of a share class into another share class resulting in the deletion and/or addition of one or more classes of shares are implemented as of the close of the last trading day of the share class to be converted.
     
   
Spin-Offs. On the ex-date of a spin-off, a PAF is applied to the price of the security of the parent company. The PAF is calculated based on the terms of the transaction and the market price of the
     
 
 
PS-44

 
   
spun-off security. If the spun-off entity qualifies for inclusion, it is included as of the close of its first trading day. If appropriate, MSCI may link the price history of the spun-off security to a security of the parent company.
     
   
In cases of spin-offs of partially-owned companies, the post-event free float of the spun-off entity is calculated using a weighted average of the existing shares and the spun-off shares, each at their corresponding free float. Any resulting changes to FIFs and/or DIFs are implemented as of the close of the ex-date.
     
   
When the spun-off security does not trade on the ex-date, a “detached” security is created to avoid a drop in the free float-adjusted market capitalization of the parent entity, regardless of whether the spun-off security is added or not. The detached security is included until the spun-off security begins trading, and is deleted thereafter. Generally, the value of the detached security is equal to the difference between the cum price and the ex price of the parent security.
     
   
Corporate Actions. Corporate actions such as splits, bonus issues and rights issues, which affect the price of a security, require a price adjustment. In general, the PAF is applied on the ex-date of the event to ensure that security prices are comparable between the ex-date and the cum date. To do so, MSCI adjusts for the value of the right and/or the value of the special assets that are distributed. In general, corporate actions do not impact the free float of the securities because the distribution of new shares is carried out on a pro rata basis to all existing shareholders. Therefore, MSCI will generally not implement any pending number of shares and/or free float updates simultaneously with the event.
     
   
If a security does not trade for any reason on the ex-date of the corporate action, the event will be generally implemented on the day the security resumes trading.
     
   
Share Placements and Offerings. Changes in number of shares and FIF resulting from primary equity offerings representing more than 5% of the security’s number of shares are generally implemented as of the close of the first trading day of the new shares, if all necessary information is available at that time. Otherwise, the event is implemented as soon as practicable after the relevant information is made available. A primary equity offering involves the issuance of new shares by a company. Changes in number of shares and FIF resulting from primary equity offerings representing less than 5% of the security’s number of shares are deferred to the next regularly scheduled Quarterly Index Review following the completion of the event. For public secondary offerings of existing constituents representing more than 5% of the security’s number of shares, where possible, MSCI will announce these changes and reflect them shortly after the results of the subscription are known. Secondary public offerings that, given lack of sufficient notice,
     
 
 
PS-45

 
   
were not reflected immediately will be reflected at the next Quarterly Index Review. Secondary offerings involve the distribution of existing shares of current shareholders’ in a listed company and are usually pre-announced by a company or by a company’s shareholders and open for public subscription during a pre-determined period.  For U.S. securities, increases in number of shares and changes in FIFs and/or DIFs resulting from primary equity offerings and from secondary offerings representing at least 5% of the security’s number of shares will be implemented as soon as practicable after the offering is priced. Generally, implementation takes place as of the close of the same day that the pricing of the shares is made public. If this is not possible, the implementation will take place as of the close of the following trading day.
     
   
Debt-to-Equity Swaps. In general, large debt-to-equity swaps involve the conversion of debt into equity originally not convertible at the time of issue. In this case, changes in numbers of shares and subsequent FIF and/or DIF changes are implemented as of the close of the first trading day of the newly issued shares, or shortly thereafter if all necessary information is available at the time of the swap. In general, shares issued in debt-to-equity swaps are assumed to be issued to strategic investors. As such, the post event free float is calculated on a pro forma basis assuming that all these shares are non-free float. Changes in numbers of shares and subsequent FIF and/or DIF changes due to conversions of convertible bonds or other convertible instruments, including periodical conversions of preferred stocks and small debt-to-equity swaps are implemented as part of the quarterly index review.
     
   
Optional Dividends.  In the case of an optional dividend, the company offers shareholders the choice of receiving the dividend either in cash or in shares. However, shareholders electing the cash option may receive the dividend consideration in cash or shares, or some combination of cash and shares. These dividends are a common practice in the U.S. For dividend reinvestment purposes, MSCI assumes that investors elect the cash option, therefore the dividend is reinvested in the MSCI Daily Total Return (“DTR”) Indices and price adjustment is not necessary (if the dividend is less than 5% of the cum market price of the underlying security). In the event that shareholders electing the cash option receive the dividend distribution in shares, or a combination of cash and shares, MSCI will increase the number of shares accordingly after results have been officially communicated, with two full business days notice.
     
   
Suspensions and Bankruptcies. MSCI will remove from the MSCI Equity Index Series as soon as practicable companies that file for bankruptcy, companies that file for protection from their creditors and/or are suspended and for which a return to normal business activity and trading is unlikely in the near future. When the primary exchange price is not available, MSCI will delete securities at an over the counter or equivalent market price when
     
 
 
PS-46

 
   
such a price is available and deemed relevant. If no over the counter or equivalent price is available, the security will be deleted at the smallest price (unit or fraction of the currency) at which a security can trade on a given exchange. For securities that are suspended, MSCI will carry forward the market price prior to the suspension during the suspension period.
     
   
Certain MSCI Indices are 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 certain MSCI indices, investors in the Securities linked to such MSCI indices will be exposed to currency exchange rate risk.  Exposure to currency changes will depend on the extent to which the relevant currency strengthens or weakens against the U.S. dollar.  The devaluation of the U.S. dollar against the applicable currency will result in an increase in the value of the relevant index.  Conversely, if the U.S. dollar strengthens against such currency, the value of such 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 indices, and any negative currency impact on the indices 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 indices which are converted into U.S. dollars.
     
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, by us or by one or more of our affiliates in connection with hedging our obligations under the Notes.  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 Basket Components and in futures and options contracts on the Basket Components or the Basket Index listed on major securities markets.  Such purchase activity could have increased the values of the Basket Components on the Pricing Date, and, therefore, could have increased the values which the Basket Components must reach on the Determination Dates before you would receive at maturity a payment that exceeds the Stated Principal Amount of the Notes.  In addition, through our subsidiaries, we are likely to modify our
     
 
 
PS-47

 
   
hedge position throughout the life of the Notes by purchasing and selling the Basket Components and/or the securities underlying the ETF Underlying Index or the Basket Index or futures or options contracts on the Basket Components listed on major securities or commodities markets or positions in any other available securities or instruments that we may wish to use in connection with such hedging activities, including by buying any such securities or instruments on the Pricing Date and/or selling such securities or instruments on the Determination Dates.  We cannot give any assurance that our hedging activities will not affect the values of the Basket Components and, therefore, adversely affect the value of the Notes or the payment you will receive at maturity.
     
Supplemental Information Concerning
   
Plan of Distribution; Conflicts of Interest
 
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 aggregate principal amount of Notes set forth on the cover of this pricing supplement.  The Agent proposes initially to offer the Notes directly to the public at the public offering price set forth on the cover page of this pricing supplement.  The Agent may distribute the Notes through Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC (“MSSB”), as selected dealer, or other dealers, which may include Morgan Stanley & Co. International plc (“MSIP”) and Bank Morgan Stanley AG.  MSSB, MSIP and Bank Morgan Stanley AG are affiliates of Morgan Stanley.  Selected dealers, including MSSB, and their financial advisors will collectively receive from the Agent, a fixed sales commission of $35 for each Note they sell.  After the initial offering of the Notes, the Agent may vary the offering price and other selling terms from time to time.
     
   
MS & Co. is our wholly-owned subsidiary. MS & Co. will conduct this offering in compliance with the requirements of NASD Rule 2720 of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc., which is commonly referred to as FINRA, regarding a FINRA member firm’s distribution of the securities of an affiliate and related conflicts of interest.  MS & Co. or any of our other affiliates may not make sales in this offering to any discretionary account.
     
   
We expect to deliver the Notes against payment therefor in New York, New York on March 15, 2010, which is the fifth scheduled Business Day following the date of this pricing supplement and of the pricing of the Notes.  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 the 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.
     
 
 
PS-48

 
   
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 Securities 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, the Notes, the Basket Components or the securities underlying the Basket Index or the ETF Underlying Index 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.
     
   
General
     
   
No action has been or will be taken by us, the Agent or any dealer that would permit a public offering of the Notes or possession or distribution of this pricing supplement or the accompanying prospectus supplement or prospectus in any jurisdiction, other than the United States, where action for that purpose is required.  No offers, sales or deliveries of the Notes, or distribution of this pricing supplement or the accompanying prospectus supplement or prospectus or any other offering material relating to the Notes, may be made in or from any jurisdiction except in circumstances which will result in compliance with any applicable laws and regulations and will not impose any obligations on us, the Agent or any dealer.

(d)  otherwise pursuant to, and in accordance with the conditions of, any other applicable provision of the SFA.
     
Benefit Plan Investor Considerations
 
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”), which we refer to as 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 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 each be considered “parties in interest” within the meaning of ERISA, or “disqualified persons” 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”).  ERISA Section 406 and Code Section 4975 generally prohibit transactions between plans and parties in interest or disqualified persons.  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
     
 
 
PS-51

 
   
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 professional asset managers).  In addition, ERISA Section 408(b)(17) and Section 4975(d)(20) of the Code may provide an exemption for the purchase and sale of securities and the related lending transactions, provided that neither the issuer of the securities nor any of its affiliates has or exercises any discretionary authority or control or renders any investment advice with respect to the assets of the plan involved in the transaction, and provided further that the plan pays no more, and receives no less, than “adequate consideration” in connection with the transaction (the so-called “service provider” exemption).  There can be no assurance that any of these class or statutory exemptions will be available with respect to transactions involving the Notes.
     
   
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 PTCEs 96-23, 95-60, 91-38, 90-1, 84-14 or the service provider exemption 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 Notes on behalf of or with “plan assets” of any plan, or with any assets of a governmental, non-U.S. or church plan that is subject to any federal, state, local or non-U.S. law that is substantially similar to the provisions of Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (“Similar Law”) 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 any Similar Law.
     
   
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.
     
   
Each purchaser and holder of the Notes has exclusive responsibility for ensuring that its purchase, holding and disposition of the Notes does not violate the prohibited transaction rules of ERISA or the Code or any Similar Law.  The sale of any Notes to any plan or plan subject to Similar Law is in no respect a representation by us or any of our affiliates or representatives that such an investment meets all relevant legal requirements with
     
 
 
PS-52

 
   
respect to investments by plans generally or any particular plan, or that such an investment is appropriate for plans generally or any particular plan.
     
   
However, individual retirement accounts, individual retirement annuities and Keogh plans, as well as employee benefit plans that permit participants to direct the investment of their accounts, will not be permitted to purchase or hold the securities if the account, plan or annuity is for the benefit of an employee of Citigroup Global Markets Inc., MSSB or a family member and the employee receives any compensation (such as, for example, an addition to bonus) based on the purchase of securities by the account, plan or annuity.
     
   
Client accounts over which Citigroup Inc., Morgan Stanley, MSSB or any of their respective subsidiaries have investment discretion are not permitted to purchase the securities, either directly or indirectly.
     
United States Federal Income Taxation.
 
The Notes will be treated as “contingent payment debt instruments” for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
     
   
Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders
     
   
Please read the discussions in the sections called “United States Federal Taxation – Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders – Notes – Optionally Exchangeable Notes,” “United States Federal Taxation – Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders – Backup Withholding and Information Reporting” and “United States Federal Taxation – Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders – Disclosure Requirements” of the accompanying prospectus supplement.  The sections in the accompanying prospectus supplement referred to above are hereafter referred to as the “Tax Disclosure Sections.”
     
   
In summary, U.S. Holders generally 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 generally will 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 4.5942% compounded semi-annually.  Based on the comparable yield set forth above, the “projected payment schedule” for a Note (assuming an issue price of $1,000) consists of a projected amount equal to $1,313.4524 due at maturity.
     
 
 
PS-53

 
   
Based on the comparable yield set forth above, the following table states the amount of OID (without taking into account any adjustments to reflect the difference, if any, between the actual and the projected amount of any contingent payments on the Notes) 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):

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
     
 
 
PS-54

 
 
   
concerning the U.S. federal income and withholding tax consequences of an investment 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 tax advisers regarding the potential tax consequences of an investment in the Notes.
