Risk Factors

YOUR INVESTMENT IN THE SECURITIES MAY RESULT IN A LOSS -- The securities do not
guarantee any return of principal. The return on the securities at maturity is
linked to the performance of the Underlying Shares and will depend on whether,
and the extent to which, the Underlying Share Return is positive or negative.
The securities are linked to a single stock. Your investment will be fully
exposed to any decline in the Ending Share Price as compared to the Initial
Share Price. There is no minimum payment at maturity on the securities and,
accordingly, you could lose your entire initial investment in the securities.

YOUR MAXIMUM GAIN ON THE SECURITIES IS LIMITED TO THE MAXIMUM TOTAL RETURN -- If
the Ending Share Price is greater than the Initial Share Price, for each $1,000
principal amount security, you will receive at maturity $1,000 plus an
additional amount that will not exceed the Maximum Total Return of 17.10% on the
stated principal amount, regardless of the appreciation in the Underlying
Shares, which may be significant.

THE SECURITIES DO NOT PAY INTEREST -- Unlike ordinary debt securities, the
securities do not pay interest and do not guarantee any return of principal at
maturity.

NO SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS -- Investing in the securities is not equivalent to
investing in the Underlying Shares. As an investor in the securities, you will
not have voting rights or rights to receive dividends or other distributions or
any other rights with respect to the Underlying Shares.

THE SECURITIES 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 SECURITIES -- You are dependent on Morgan
Stanley's ability to pay all amounts due on the securities, and therefore you
are subject to the credit risk of Morgan Stanley. If Morgan Stanley defaults on
its obligations under the securities, your investment would be at risk and you
could lose some or all of your investment. As a result, the market value of the
securities 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 securities.

MANY ECONOMIC AND MARKET FACTORS WILL IMPACT THE VALUE OF THE SECURITIES -- The
value of the securities will be affected by a number of economic and market
factors that may either offset or magnify each other, including: []the price of
the Underlying Shares on any day; [] the expected volatility (frequency and
magnitude of changes in price) of the Underlying Shares; [] the time to maturity
of the securities; [] the dividend rate of the Underlying Shares; [] interest
and yield rates in the market generally; [] geopolitical conditions and a
variety of economic, financial, political, regulatory or judicial events that
affect the Underlying Shares or stock markets generally and which may affect USG
Corporation and the price of the Underlying Shares; [] the occurrence of certain
events affecting the Underlying Shares that may or may not require an adjustment
to the adjustment factor; and [] our creditworthiness, including actual or
anticipated changes in our credit ratings or credit spreads.

CERTAIN BUILT-IN COSTS ARE LIKELY TO ADVERSELY AFFECT THE VALUE OF THE
SECURITIES PRIOR TO MATURITY -- While the payment at maturity described in these
preliminary terms is based on the full stated principal amount of your
securities, the original issue price of the securities includes the agents'
commissions and the cost of hedging our obligations under the securities through
one or more of our affiliates. The cost of hedging includes projected profit
that our subsidiaries may realize in consideration for assuming the risks
inherent in managing the hedging transactions. As a result, the price, if any,
at which affiliates of Morgan Stanley, will be willing to purchase securities
from you in secondary market transactions, if at all, will likely be
significantly lower than the original issue price, and any sale prior to the
maturity date could result in a substantial loss to you. Secondary market prices
are also likely to be reduced by the costs of unwinding the related hedging
transactions. The securities are not designed to be short-term trading
instruments. Accordingly, you should be able and willing to hold your securities
to maturity.

LACK OF LIQUIDITY -- The securities will not be listed on any securities
exchange. Therefore, there may be little or no secondary market for the
securities. MS and Co. may, but is not obligated to, make a market in the
securities. Even if there is a secondary market, it may not provide enough
liquidity to allow you to trade or sell the securities easily. Because we do not
expect that other broker-dealers will participate significantly in the secondary
market for the securities, the price at which you may be able to trade your
securities is likely to depend on the price, if any, at which MS and Co. is
willing to transact. If, at any time, MS and Co. were not to make a market in
the securities, it is likely that there would be no secondary market for the
securities. Accordingly, you should be willing to hold your securities to
maturity.

POTENTIAL CONFLICTS -- We and our affiliates play a variety of roles in
connection with the issuance of the securities, including acting as calculation
agent and hedging our obligations under the securities. In performing these
duties, the economic interests of the calculation agent and other affiliates of
ours are potentially adverse to your interests as an investor in the securities.
Some of our subsidiaries also trade the Underlying Shares and other financial
instruments related to the Underlying Shares on a regular basis as part of their
general broker-dealer and other businesses. Any of these hedging or trading
activities on or prior to the pricing date could potentially affect the price of
the Underlying Shares. We will not have any obligation to consider your
interests as a holder of the securities in taking any corporate action that
might affect the price of the Underlying Shares and the value of the securities.

THE ANTIDILUTION ADJUSTMENTS TO THE ADJUSTMENT FACTOR THE CALCULATION AGENT IS
REQUIRED TO MAKE DO NOT COVER EVERY CORPORATE EVENT THAT COULD AFFECT THE
UNDERLYING SHARES -- MS and Co., as calculation agent, will adjust the amount
payable at maturity for certain events affecting the Underlying Shares, such as
stock splits and stock dividends, and certain other corporate actions involving
USG Corporation, such as mergers. However, the calculation agent will not make
an adjustment for every corporate event that could affect the Underlying Shares.
For example, the calculation agent is not required to make any adjustments if
USG Corporation offers common stock for cash or in connection with acquisitions.
If an event occurs that does not require the calculation agent to adjust the
adjustment factor, the market price of the securities may be materially and
adversely affected.

MORGAN STANLEY MAY ENGAGE IN BUSINESS WITH OR INVOLVING USG CORPORATION WITHOUT
REGARD TO YOUR INTERESTS -- We or our affiliates may presently or from time to
time engage in business with USG Corporation without regard to your interests,
including extending loans to, or making equity investments in, USG Corporation
or its affiliates or subsidiaries or providing advisory services to USG
Corporation, such as merger and acquisition advisory services. In the course of
our business, we or our affiliates may acquire non-public information about USG
Corporation Neither we nor any of our affiliates undertakes to disclose any such
information to you. In addition, we or our affiliates from time to time have
published and in the future may publish research reports with respect to USG
Corporation These research reports may or may not recommend that investors buy
or hold the Underlying Shares.

THE SECURITIES MAY COME TO BE BASED ON THE SHARE CLOSING PRICES OF THE COMMON
STOCKS OF COMPANIES OTHER THAN USG CORPORATION -- Following certain corporate
events relating to the Underlying Shares, such as a stock-for-stock merger where
USG Corporation is not the surviving entity, the amount payable at maturity will
be determined by reference to the value of exchange property which may include
cash or shares of common stock of a corporation other than USG Corporation We
describe the specific corporate events that can lead to these adjustments in
"Additional Terms Specific to the Securities --Antidilution Adjustments" below.
The occurrence of such corporate events and the consequent adjustments may
materially and adversely affect the market price of the securities.

THE OFFERING OF THE SECURITIES MAY BE TERMINATED BEFORE THE PRICING DATE -- If
we determine prior to pricing that it is not reasonable to treat your purchase
and ownership of the securities as an "open transaction" for U.S. federal income
tax purposes, the offering of the securities will be terminated.

UNITED STATES FEDERAL TAX CONSEQUENCES -- Please read the discussion of United
States federal tax consequences, and any related risk factors, in the
preliminary terms describing the terms of the securities.

You can review a graph setting forth the historical performance of the
Underlying Shares in the preliminary terms describing the terms of the
securities. You cannot predict the future performance of the Underlying Shares
based on their historical performances. We cannot guarantee that the Ending
Share Price will be greater than the Initial Share Price so that you will
receive a payment at maturity in excess of $1,000, or that you will not lose
some or all of your investment.

                                                                               2
