3. Solicitations as Agent; Purchases as Principal.

(a) Solicitations as Agent. In connection with your actions as agent hereunder, you agree to use reasonable efforts to solicit offers to purchase Program Securities upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Prospectus as then amended or supplemented.

The relevant Issuer reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to instruct you to suspend at any time, for any period of time or permanently, the solicitation of offers to purchase Program Securities. Upon receipt of at least one business day’s prior notice from the relevant Issuer, you will forthwith suspend solicitations of offers to purchase Program Securities from the relevant Issuer until such time as the relevant Issuer has advised you that such solicitation may be resumed. While such solicitation is suspended, the relevant Issuer shall not be required to deliver any certificates, opinions or letters in accordance with Sections ‎6(a), ‎6(b) and ‎6(c); provided, however, that if the Registration Statement or Prospectus is amended or supplemented during the period of suspension (other than by an amendment or supplement providing solely for (i) in the case of Notes issued alone or as part of a Unit, a change in the interest rates, redemption provisions, amortization schedules or maturities offered on the Notes, (ii) in the case of Units, a change in the exercise price, exercise date or period or expiration of an underlying Warrant or a change in the settlement date or purchase or sale price of an underlying Purchase Contract, (iii) in the case of Warrants, a change in the exercise price, exercise date or period or expiration of a Warrant or (iv) for a change you deem to be immaterial), you shall not be required to resume soliciting offers to purchase Program Securities until the relevant Issuer has delivered such certificates, opinions and letters as you may request.

The relevant Issuer agrees to pay to you, as consideration for the sale of each Program Security resulting from a solicitation made or an offer to purchase received by you, a commission in the form of a discount from the purchase price of such Program Security equal to between 0.125% and 0.750% (depending upon, in the case of Notes, such Note’s maturity, in the case of Units, any underlying Note’s maturity or the terms of the Units and of the securities comprised by such Units or, in the case of Warrants, the expiration and terms of the Warrants) of the principal amount of such Note, in the case of Units, the face amount of such Unit, or, in the case of Warrants, the purchase price of such Warrant (provided that the commission for Notes having a maturity of, Units including Notes or other securities having a maturity of, or Warrants expiring in, 30 years or more will be negotiated) or such other discount as may be specified in the prospectus supplement relating to such Note, Unit or Warrant.

You shall communicate to the relevant Issuer, orally or in writing, each offer to purchase Program Securities received by you as agent that in your judgment should be considered by the relevant Issuer. The relevant Issuer shall have the sole right to accept offers to purchase Program Securities and may reject any offer in whole or in part. You shall have the right to reject any offer to purchase Program Securities that you consider to be unacceptable, and any such rejection shall not be deemed a breach of your agreements contained herein. The procedural details relating to the issue and delivery of Program

Securities sold by you as agent and the payment therefor shall be as set forth in the Administrative Procedures (as defined below).

(b) Purchases as Principal. Each sale of Program Securities to you as principal shall be made in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

Each Notes Terms Agreement, Units Terms Agreement or Warrants Terms Agreement will take the form of either (i) a written agreement between you and the relevant Issuer, which may be substantially in the form of Exhibit A, Exhibit A-1 or Exhibit A-2 (as applicable) hereto (in the case of Notes, a “Written Notes Terms Agreement,” in the case of Units, a “Written Units Terms Agreement” and in the case of Warrants, a “Written Warrants Terms Agreement”), or (ii) an oral agreement between you and the relevant Issuer confirmed in writing by you to the relevant Issuer.

Your commitment to purchase Program Securities as principal pursuant to a Notes Terms Agreement, Units Terms Agreement or Warrants Terms Agreement shall be deemed to have been made on the basis of the representations and warranties of the relevant Issuer and the Guarantor, if applicable, herein contained and shall be subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth. Each (i) Notes Terms Agreement shall specify the principal amount of Notes to be purchased by you pursuant thereto, the maturity date of such Notes, the price to be paid to the relevant Issuer for such Notes, the interest rate and interest rate formula, if any, applicable to such Notes and any other terms of such Notes, (ii) Units Terms Agreement shall specify (a) the information set forth in (i) above with respect to any Notes issued as part of a Unit, (b) with respect to any Warrants issued as part of a Unit, the exercise price, the exercise date or period, the expiration date and any other terms of such Warrants and (c) with respect to any Purchase Contracts issued as part of a Unit, the settlement date, the purchase or sale price or any other terms of such Purchase Contracts and (iii) Warrants Terms Agreement shall specify the exercise price, the exercise date or period, the expiration date and any other terms of such Warrants. Each such Notes Terms Agreement, Units Terms Agreement or Warrants Terms Agreement may also specify any requirements for officers’ certificates, opinions of counsel and letters from the independent auditors of the relevant Issuer and/or the Guarantor, if applicable, pursuant to Section ‎5. A Notes Terms Agreement, a Unit Terms Agreement and a Warrants Terms Agreement may also specify certain provisions relating to the reoffering of such Notes, Units or Warrants, as the case may be, by you.

Each Notes Terms Agreement, each Units Terms Agreement and each Warrants Terms Agreement shall specify the time and place of delivery of and payment for such Notes, Units or Warrants, as the case may be. Unless otherwise specified in a Notes Terms Agreement, a Units Terms Agreement or a Warrants Terms Agreement, the procedural details relating to the issue and delivery of Notes, Units or Warrants, as the case may be, purchased by you as principal and the payment therefor shall be as set forth in the Administrative Procedures.

4. Agreements. Each Issuer and the Guarantor, if applicable, agrees with you that:

(a) The relevant Issuer will furnish to you a copy of each proposed free writing prospectus to be prepared by or on behalf of, used by, or referred to by the relevant Issuer relating to the offering of the Program Securities and neither the relevant Issuer nor the Guarantor, if applicable, will use or refer to any proposed free writing prospectus to which you reasonably object.

(b) Neither the relevant Issuer nor the Guarantor, if applicable, will take any action that would result in you or the relevant Issuer or the Guarantor, if applicable, being required to file with the Commission pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act a free writing prospectus prepared by you or on your behalf that you otherwise would not have been required to file thereunder.

(c) If the Time of Sale Prospectus is being used to solicit offers to buy Program Securities at a time when the Prospectus is not yet available to prospective purchasers and any event shall occur or condition exist as a result of which it is necessary to amend or supplement the Time of Sale Prospectus in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances, not misleading, or if any event shall occur or condition exist as a result of which the Time of Sale Prospectus conflicts with the information contained in the Registration Statement then on file, or if, in the opinion of your counsel, it is necessary to amend or supplement the Time of Sale Prospectus to comply with applicable law, the relevant Issuer will forthwith prepare, file with the Commission and furnish, at the relevant Issuer’s own expense, to you and to any dealer upon request, either amendments or supplements to the Time of Sale Prospectus so that the statements in the Time of Sale Prospectus as so amended or supplemented will not, in the light of the circumstances when delivered to a prospective purchaser, be misleading or so that the Time of Sale Prospectus, as amended or supplemented, will no longer conflict with the Registration Statement, or so that the Time of Sale Prospectus, as amended or supplemented, will comply with applicable law.

(d) Prior to the termination of the offering of the Program Securities pursuant to this Agreement or pursuant to any Notes Terms Agreement, Units Terms Agreement or Warrants Terms Agreement, neither the relevant Issuer nor the Guarantor, if applicable, will file any Time of Sale Prospectus or prospectus supplement (including any product supplement or pricing supplement) relating to the Program Securities or any amendment to the Registration Statement relating to the Program Securities unless the relevant Issuer or the Guarantor, if applicable, has previously furnished to you a copy thereof for your review and will not file any such proposed supplement or amendment to which you reasonably object; provided, however, that the foregoing requirement shall not apply to any of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ periodic filings with the Commission required to be filed pursuant to Section 13(a), 13(c), 13(f), 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, copies of which filings ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ will cause to be delivered to you promptly after being transmitted for filing with the Commission. Subject to the foregoing sentence, the relevant Issuer and the Guarantor, if applicable, will promptly cause each supplement to the Basic Prospectus relating to the Program Securities (including any product supplement or pricing supplement) to be filed with or transmitted for filing to the Commission in accordance with Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act. The relevant Issuer will promptly advise you (i) of the filing of any amendment or supplement to the Basic Prospectus, (ii) of the filing and effectiveness of any amendment to the Registration Statement, (iii) of any request by the Commission for any amendment to the Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement to the Basic Prospectus or for any additional information, (iv) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or the institution or threatening of any proceeding for that purpose and (v) of the receipt by the relevant Issuer or the Guarantor, if applicable, of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Program Securities for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose. The relevant Issuer and the Guarantor, if applicable, will use its best efforts to prevent the issuance of any such stop order or notice of suspension of qualification and, if issued, to obtain as soon as possible the withdrawal thereof. If the Basic Prospectus is amended or supplemented as a result of the filing under the Exchange Act of any document

incorporated by reference in the Prospectus, you shall not be obligated to solicit offers to purchase Program Securities so long as you are not reasonably satisfied with such document.

(e) If, at any time when the Prospectus (or in lieu thereof the notice referred to in Rule 173(a) under the Securities Act) relating to the Program Securities is required to be delivered under the Securities Act or made available to purchasers of the Program Securities, any event occurs or condition exists as a result of which the Prospectus, as then amended or supplemented, would include an untrue statement of a material fact, or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances when the Prospectus (or in lieu thereof the notice referred to in Rule 173(a) under the Securities Act), as then amended or supplemented, is delivered to a purchaser, not misleading, or if, in your opinion or in the opinion of the relevant Issuer or the Guarantor, if applicable, it is necessary at any time to amend or supplement the Prospectus, as then amended or supplemented, to comply with applicable law, the relevant Issuer will immediately notify you by telephone (with confirmation in writing) to suspend solicitation of offers to purchase Program Securities and, if so notified by the relevant Issuer, you shall forthwith suspend such solicitation and cease using the Prospectus, as then amended or supplemented. If the relevant Issuer or the Guarantor, if applicable, shall decide to amend or supplement the Registration Statement or Prospectus, as then amended or supplemented, the relevant Issuer shall so advise you promptly by telephone (with confirmation in writing) and, at its expense, shall prepare and cause to be filed promptly with the Commission an amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement or Prospectus, as then amended or supplemented, that will correct such statement or omission or effect such compliance and will supply such amended or supplemented Prospectus to you in such quantities as you may reasonably request. If any documents, certificates, opinions and letters furnished to you pursuant to Section ‎4(i) and Sections ‎6(a), ‎6(b) and ‎6(c) in connection with the preparation and filing of such amendment or supplement are satisfactory in all respects to you, upon the filing with the Commission of such amendment or supplement to the Prospectus or upon the effectiveness of an amendment to the Registration Statement, you will resume the solicitation of offers to purchase Program Securities hereunder.

appropriately responsive in all material respects to the requirements of the Securities Act and the applicable rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder, and (2) nothing has come to the attention of such counsel that causes such counsel to believe that, insofar as relevant to the offering of the Program Securities, (A) the Registration Statement (except for the financial statements and financial schedules and other financial or accounting data included therein and except for those parts of the Registration Statement that constitute Forms T-1, as to which such counsel need not express any belief) as of the date of such opinion or the Time of Sale, as applicable, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, (B) the Time of Sale Prospectus (except for the financial statements and financial schedules and other financial or accounting data included therein, as to which such counsel need not express any belief), if any, as amended or supplemented, if applicable, as of the Time of Sale contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading or (C) the Prospectus (except for the financial statements and financial schedules and other financial or accounting data included therein, as to which such counsel need not express any belief), as amended or supplemented, if applicable, as of the date of such opinion or the Time of Sale, as applicable, contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided that in the case of an opinion delivered on the Commencement Date or pursuant to Section ‎6(b), the opinion and belief set forth in clauses 1(B) (with respect to the Prospectus only) and 2(C) above shall be deemed not to cover information concerning an offering of particular Notes, Units or Warrants to the extent such information will be set forth in a supplement to the Basic Prospectus.

(ii) The opinion, dated as of such date, of Sidley Austin llp, your special counsel, covering the matters in subparagraphs ‎(F) (with respect to the due authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement by Morgan Stanley and MSFL and any applicable Written Notes Terms Agreement, Written Units Terms Agreement or Written Warrants Terms Agreement, respectively, by Morgan Stanley), ‎(G), ‎(I), ‎(L), ‎(O), ‎(R), and ‎(X) (with respect to statements in the Prospectus and the Time of Sale Prospectus, if applicable, as then amended or supplemented, under the captions “Description of Notes” (in the applicable prospectus supplement for Morgan Stanley Notes, Morgan Stanley Units and Morgan Stanley Warrants), “Description of Debt Securities” (in the Basic Prospectus), “Description of Units” (in the applicable prospectus supplement for Morgan Stanley Notes, Morgan Stanley Units and Morgan Stanley Warrants and the Basic Prospectus), “Plan of Distribution (Conflicts of Interest)” (in the

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the opinions described in Sections ‎5(b)(i)(I) (except as to due authorization of the Morgan Stanley Notes and Indenture Pre-paid Morgan Stanley Purchase Contracts), ‎5(b)(i)(J) (except as to due authorization of the MSFL Notes and Indenture Pre-paid MSFL Purchase Contracts), ‎5(b)(i)(K) (except as to due authorization of the Indenture Guarantee), ‎5(b)(i)(L) (except as to due authorization of the Morgan Stanley Units, Physically-settled Pre-paid Morgan Stanley Purchase Contracts and Non-Pre-paid Morgan Stanley Purchase Contracts), ‎5(b)(i)(M) (except as to due authorization of the MSFL Units, Physically-settled Pre-paid MSFL Purchase Contracts and Non-Pre-paid MSFL Purchase Contracts), ‎5(b)(i)(N) (except as to due authorization of the Unit Agreement Guarantee), ‎5(b)(i)(O) (except as to due authorization of the Morgan Stanley Units), ‎5(b)(i)(P) (except as to due authorization of the MSFL Units), ‎5(b)(i)(Q) (except as to due authorization of the Unit Agreement Without Holders’ Obligations Guarantee), ‎5(b)(i)(R) (except as to due authorization of the Morgan Stanley Warrants), ‎5(b)(i)(S) (except as to due authorization of the MSFL Warrants), ‎5(b)(i)(T) (except as to due authorization of the Warrant Guarantee), ‎5(b)(i)(U), ‎5(b)(i)(V), ‎5(b)(i)(W), ‎5(b)(i)(X)(1) and ‎5(b)(i)(BB)(2)(A), ‎5(b)(i)(BB)(2)(B) and ‎5(b)(i)(BB)(2)(C), when contained in an opinion delivered on the Commencement Date or pursuant to Section ‎6(b), shall be deemed not to address the application of the Commodity Exchange Act, as amended, or the rules, regulations or interpretations of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to Program Securities the payments of principal or interest on which, or any other payments with respect to which, will be determined by reference to one or more currency exchange rates, commodities, securities of entities affiliated or unaffiliated with the relevant Issuer, baskets of such securities, equity indices or other factors.

With respect to Section ‎5(b)(i)(BB) , if such opinion is given by counsel who is also an officer of an Issuer or the Guarantor, such counsel may state that his or her opinions and beliefs are based upon his or her participation, or the participation of someone under his or her supervision, in the preparation of the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Prospectus and the Prospectus and any amendments or supplements thereto and review and discussion of the contents thereof, but are without independent check or verification, except as specified. With respect to Section ‎5(b)(i)(BB) , Sidley Austin llp and, if Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP is giving such opinion, Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP may state that their opinions and beliefs are based upon their participation in the preparation of the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Prospectus, the Prospectus, the preliminary prospectus supplement, if any, any identified free writing prospectuses (but not including documents incorporated therein by reference) and upon review and discussion of the contents of the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Prospectus and the Prospectus (including documents incorporated therein by reference), but are without independent check or verification, except as specified.

(iii) The opinion, dated as of such date, of Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, special counsel to Morgan Stanley and MSFL to the effect that the

statements set forth under the caption “United States Federal Taxation” in the Basic Prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement, insofar as such statements relate to statements of law or legal conclusions under the laws of the United States or matters of United States law, fairly and accurately summarize the matters referred to therein.

(a) Each time the Registration Statement or Prospectus is amended or supplemented (other than by an amendment or supplement providing solely for (i) in the case of Notes, a change in the interest rates, redemption provisions, amortization schedules or maturities offered on the Notes issued alone or as part of a Unit, (ii) in the case of Units, (x) a change in the exercise price, exercise date or period or expiration of an underlying Warrant or (y) a change in the settlement date or purchase or sale price of an underlying Purchase Contract, (iii) in the case of Warrants, a change in the

exercise price, exercise date or period or expiration of the Warrant or (iv) a change you deem to be immaterial), each Issuer will deliver or cause to be delivered forthwith to you a certificate or certificates signed by an executive officer of such Issuer and the Guarantor, if applicable, dated the date of such amendment or supplement, as the case may be, in form reasonably satisfactory to you, of the same tenor as the certificate referred to in Section ‎5(c) relating to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus as amended or supplemented to the time of delivery of such certificate.

(b) Each time an Issuer or the Guarantor, if applicable, furnishes a certificate or certificates pursuant to Section ‎6(a) (other than any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement or Prospectus caused by the filing of a Current Report on Form 8-K unless you shall reasonably request based on disclosure included or omitted from such Report), such Issuer or the Guarantor, if applicable, will furnish or cause to be furnished forthwith to you a written opinion of counsel for the relevant Issuer or the Guarantor, if applicable. Any such opinion shall be dated the date of such amendment or supplement, as the case may be, shall be in a form satisfactory to you and shall be of the same tenor as the opinions referred to in Section ‎5(b), but modified to relate to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus as amended and supplemented to the time of delivery of such opinion. In lieu of such opinion, counsel last furnishing such an opinion to you may furnish to you a letter to the effect that you may rely on such last opinion to the same extent as though it were dated the date of such letter (except that statements in such last opinion will be deemed to relate to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus as amended or supplemented to the time of delivery of such letter).

(c) Each time the Registration Statement or the Prospectus is amended or supplemented to set forth amended or supplemental financial information or such amended or supplemental information is incorporated by reference in the Prospectus, Morgan Stanley shall cause its independent auditors forthwith to furnish you with a letter, dated the date of such amendment or supplement, as the case may be, in form satisfactory to you, of the same tenor as the letter referred to in Section ‎5(d), with regard to the amended or supplemental financial information included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus as amended or supplemented to the date of such letter; provided that each letter so furnished shall use a “cut-off date” no more than three business days prior to the date of such letter.

7. Indemnity and Contribution. (a) Each Issuer and the Guarantor agree, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless you and each person, if any, who controls you within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act and each of your affiliates within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including, without limitation, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with defending or investigating any such action or claim) caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or any amendment thereof, any preliminary prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, any issuer free writing prospectus as defined in Rule 433(h) under the Securities Act, any Issuer or Guarantor information that either Issuer or the Guarantor has filed, or is required to file, pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act, any “road show” as defined in Rule 433(h) under the Securities

Act (a “road show”), or the Prospectus (as amended or supplemented if either Issuer shall have furnished any amendments or supplements thereto), or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities are caused by any such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission based upon information relating to you furnished to either Issuer or the Guarantor in writing by you expressly for use therein.

(b) You agree, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless each Issuer and the Guarantor, their directors and their managers, their officers who sign the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls either Issuer or the Guarantor within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from each Issuer and the Guarantor to you, but only with reference to information relating to you furnished to either Issuer or the Guarantor in writing by you expressly for use in the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus, any issuer free writing prospectus, road show, or the Prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto.

(c) In case any proceeding (including any governmental investigation) shall be instituted involving any person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to either Section ‎7(a) or ‎7(b), such person (the “indemnified party”) shall promptly notify the person against whom such indemnity may be sought (the “indemnifying party”) in writing and the indemnifying party, upon request of the indemnified party, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party and any others the indemnifying party may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the fees and disbursements of such counsel related to such proceeding. In any such proceeding, any indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel or (ii) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. It is understood that the indemnifying party shall not, in respect of the legal expenses of any indemnified party in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all such indemnified parties and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. Such firm shall be designated in writing by you, in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section ‎7(a), and by the relevant Issuer or the Guarantor, in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section ‎7(b). The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by

the second and third sentences of this paragraph, the indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 30 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request and (ii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed the indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding.

(d) To the extent the indemnification provided for in Section ‎7(a) or ‎7(b) is unavailable to an indemnified party or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein in connection with any offering of Program Securities, then each indemnifying party under such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the relevant Issuer and, with respect to Program Securities of MSFL, the Guarantor on the one hand and you on the other hand from the offering of such Program Securities or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause ‎7(d)(i) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause ‎7(d)(i) but also the relative fault of the relevant Issuer or the Guarantor on the one hand and you on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the relevant Issuer and, with respect to Program Securities of MSFL, the Guarantor on the one hand and you on the other hand in connection with the offering of such Program Securities shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the total net proceeds from the offering of such Program Securities (before deducting expenses) received by such Issuer and the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by you in respect thereof, bear to the aggregate initial public offering price of such Program Securities, in each case as set forth in the Prospectus. The relative fault of the relevant Issuer or the Guarantor on the one hand and of you on the other hand shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the relevant Issuer or the Guarantor or by you and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. Your obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section ‎7 are several in proportion to the respective principal amounts of Program Securities you have purchased in any offering of Program Securities hereunder, and not joint.

(e) Each Issuer, the Guarantor and you agree that it would not be just or equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section ‎7 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in Section ‎7(d). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified

party as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in Section ‎7(d) shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section ‎7, you shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Program Securities referred to in Section ‎7(d) that were offered and sold to the public through you exceeds the amount of any damages that you have otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The remedies provided for in this Section ‎7 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any indemnified party at law or in equity.

(f) The indemnity and contribution provisions contained in this Section ‎7 and the representations, warranties and other statements of each Issuer, the Guarantor, their officers and you contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement or any Notes Terms Agreement, Units Terms Agreement or Warrants Terms Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of (i) any termination of this Agreement or any such Notes Terms Agreement, Units Terms Agreement or Warrants Terms Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by or on behalf of you, any person controlling you or any of your affiliates or by or on behalf of the relevant Issuer, the Guarantor, if applicable, their officers or directors or managers or any person controlling such Issuer or the Guarantor and (iii) acceptance of and payment for any of the Program Securities.

8. Position of the Agent. In acting under this Agreement and in connection with the sale of any Program Securities by the relevant Issuer (other than Program Securities sold to you pursuant to a Notes Terms Agreement, Units Terms Agreement or Warrants Terms Agreement, as the case may be), you are acting solely as agent of the relevant Issuer and do not assume any obligation towards or relationship of agency or trust with any purchaser of Program Securities. You shall make reasonable efforts to assist the relevant Issuer in obtaining performance by each purchaser whose offer to purchase Program Securities has been solicited by you and accepted by the relevant Issuer, but you shall not have any liability to the relevant Issuer in the event any such purchase is not consummated for any reason. If the relevant Issuer shall default in its obligations to deliver Program Securities to a purchaser whose offer it has accepted, the relevant Issuer shall hold you harmless against any loss, claim, damage or liability arising from or as a result of such default and shall, in particular, pay to you the commission you would have received had such sale been consummated.

9. Offering Restrictions. You hereby represent to each Issuer and the Guarantor and agree with respect to the Program Securities that:

(a) The Program Securities have not been and will not be qualified by a prospectus under the securities laws of any province or territory of Canada and will not be or become freely tradeable in Canada. You will not offer or sell any Program Securities, directly or indirectly, in any jurisdiction of Canada or for the account or benefit of any person in Canada except in a manner that is (a) exempt from the prospectus

filing requirements and (b) exempt from, or in compliance with, the dealer registration requirements, of all applicable securities laws, regulations, rules, instruments, rulings and orders, including those applicable in each of the provinces and territories of Canada. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Program Securities may be offered and sold in Canada only to purchasers that (i) are purchasing, or deemed to be purchasing, as principal, (ii) are “accredited investors”, as defined in National Instrument 45-106 Prospectus Exemptions or subsection 73.3(1) of the Securities Act (Ontario), as applicable, and (iii) are “permitted clients”, as defined in National Instrument 31-103 Registration Requirements, Exemptions and Ongoing Registrant Obligations. In addition, in connection with any such offering and sale of Program Securities in Canada, you will file, or caused to be filed, with each applicable provincial securities regulator, within the time periods prescribed by applicable law, all reports of exempt distribution together, where applicable, with copies of any “offering memorandum” (within the meaning of Canadian securities legislation) delivered to Canadian purchasers. You will also pay all applicable fees associated with the filing of any such reports.

(b) You have not offered, sold or otherwise made available and will not offer, sell or otherwise make available any Program Securities which are the subject of the offering contemplated by the Time of Sale Prospectus or the Prospectus in relation thereto to any retail investor in the European Economic Area. For the purposes of this provision:

(i) the expression “retail investor” means a person who is one (or more) of the following:

(A) a retail client as defined in point (11) of Article 4(1) of Directive 2014/65/EU (as amended, “MiFID II”); or

(B) a customer within the meaning of Directive (EU) 2016/97, where that customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II; or

(ii) the expression “offer” includes the communication in any form and by any means of sufficient information on the terms of the offer and the Program Securities to be offered so as to enable an investor to decide to purchase or subscribe for the Program Securities.

(c) You have not offered, sold or otherwise made available and will not offer, sell or otherwise make available any Program Securities which are the subject of the offering contemplated by the Time of Sale Prospectus or the Prospectus in relation thereto to any retail investor in the United Kingdom.

(i) For the purposes of this provision, the expression “retail investor” means a person who is one (or more) of the following:

(A) a retail client, as defined in point (8) of Article 2 of Regulation (EU) No 2017/565 as it forms part of domestic law in the United Kingdom by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018, as amended (the “EUWA”); or

(B) a customer within the meaning of the provisions of the FSMA and any rules or regulations made under the FSMA to implement Directive (EU) 2016/97, where that customer would not qualify as a professional client, as defined in point (8) of Article 2(1) of Regulation (EU) No 600/2014 as it forms part of domestic law in the United Kingdom by virtue of the EUWA; or

(C) not a qualified investor as defined in Article 2 of Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 as it forms part of domestic law in the United Kingdom by virtue of the EUWA; and

(d) With respect to Program Securities to be offered or sold in the United Kingdom, (1) you have only communicated or caused to be communicated and will only communicate or cause to be communicated an invitation or inducement to engage in investment activity (within the meaning of Section 21 of the FSMA) received by you in connection with the issue or sale of the Program Securities in circumstances in which Section 21(1) of the FSMA does not apply to the relevant Issuer or, where applicable, the Guarantor, and (2) you have complied and will comply with all applicable provisions of the FSMA with respect to anything done by you in relation to the Program Securities in, from or otherwise involving the United Kingdom.

(e) With respect to any Program Securities that have a maturity of less than one year, (x) you are a person whose ordinary activities involve you in acquiring, holding, managing or disposing of investments (as principal or agent) for the purposes of your business, and (y) you have not offered or sold and will not offer or sell any Program Securities other than to persons:

(A) whose ordinary activities involve them in acquiring, holding, managing or disposing of investments (as principal or agent) for the purposes of their businesses; or

(B) who it is reasonable to expect will acquire, hold, manage or dispose of investments (as principal or agent) for the purposes of their businesses, where the issue of the Program Securities would otherwise constitute a contravention of Section 19 of the FSMA by the relevant Issuer or, where applicable, the Guarantor.

(f) The Program Securities have not been and will not be registered pursuant to Article 4, Paragraph 1 of the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act of Japan (Act No. 25 of 1948, as amended) (the “FIEA”) on the basis that the solicitation for subscription of the Program Securities falls within the definition of “solicitation to qualified institutional investors” as defined in Article 2, paragraph 3, item 2 (I) of the FIEA and Article 10 of the Ministerial Ordinance Concerning Definitions. Such solicitation shall be subject to the condition that qualified institutional investors (as defined under the FIEA, “QIIs”) who desire to acquire the Program Securities shall be made aware that they shall not transfer the Program Securities to anyone other than to other QIIs. Any QII who acquires the Program Securities shall be deemed to have agreed to such transfer restriction.

Accordingly, the Program Securities will not be offered or sold, directly or indirectly, in Japan or to or for the account or benefit of any resident of Japan (which term as used herein means any person resident in Japan, including any corporation or other entity organized under the laws of Japan), or to, or for the account or benefit of, others for reoffering or resale, directly or indirectly, in Japan or to, or for the account or benefit of, any resident of Japan, except in a private placement to QIIs as described above pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of, and otherwise in compliance with, the FIEA and any other applicable laws, regulations and ministerial guidelines of Japan in effect at the relevant time.

(g) The contents of the Prospectus have not been reviewed or approved by any regulatory authority in Hong Kong. The Prospectus does not constitute an offer or invitation to the public in Hong Kong to acquire Program Securities. No Program Securities have been offered or sold or will be offered or sold, in Hong Kong, by means of any document, other than to (i) “professional investors” as defined in the Securities and Futures Ordinance (Cap. 571 of the Laws of Hong Kong) (the “SFO”) and any rules made thereunder; or (ii) in other circumstances which do not result in the document being a “prospectus” as defined in the Companies (Winding Up and Miscellaneous Provisions) Ordinance (Cap. 32 of the Laws of Hong Kong) (the “C(WUMP)O”) or which do not constitute an offer to the public within the meaning of the C(WUMP)O. No document, invitation or advertisement relating to the Program Securities has been issued or will be issued or has been or will be in the possession of any person for the purpose of issue (in each case whether in Hong Kong or elsewhere), which is directed at, or the contents of which are likely to be accessed or read by, the public of Hong Kong (except if permitted under the securities laws of Hong Kong) other than with respect to Program Securities which are or are intended to be disposed of only to persons outside Hong Kong or only to “professional investors” as defined in the SFO and any rules made thereunder. The offer of the Program Securities is personal to the person to whom the Prospectus has been delivered by or on behalf of Morgan Stanley, and a subscription for Program Securities will only be accepted from such person. No person to whom a copy of the Prospectus is issued may copy, issue or distribute the Prospectus to any other person.

(h) Neither any free writing prospectus relating to the Program Securities nor the Prospectus has been registered as a prospectus under the Securities and Futures Act 2001 (the “SFA”) by the Monetary Authority of Singapore, and the Program Securities

will be offered pursuant to exemptions under the SFA. Accordingly, any free writing prospectus relating to the Program Securities, the Prospectus and any other document or material in connection with the offer or sale, or invitation for subscription or purchase, of the Program Securities may not be circulated or distributed, nor may the Program Securities be offered or sold, or be made the subject of an invitation for subscription or purchase, whether directly or indirectly, to persons in Singapore other than (i) to an institutional investor (as defined in Section 4A of the SFA (an “Institutional Investor”)) pursuant to Section 274 of the SFA, (ii) to an accredited investor (as defined in Section 4A of the SFA (an “Accredited Investor”)) or other relevant person (as defined in Section 275(2) of the SFA (a “Relevant Person”)) and pursuant to Section 275(1) of the SFA, or to any person pursuant to an offer referred to in Section 275(1A) of the SFA, and in accordance with the conditions specified in Section 275 of the SFA and (where applicable) Regulation 3 of the Securities and Futures (Classes of Investors) Regulations 2018, or (iii) otherwise pursuant to, and in accordance with, the conditions of any other applicable exemption or provision of the SFA. It is a condition of the offer that where the Program Securities are subscribed for or acquired pursuant to an offer made in reliance on Section 275 of the SFA by a Relevant Person which is:

(i) a corporation (which is not an Accredited Investor), the sole business of which is to hold investments and the entire share capital of which is owned by one or more individuals, each of whom is an Accredited Investor; or

(ii) a trust (where the trustee is not an Accredited Investor), the sole purpose of which is to hold investments and each beneficiary of the trust is an individual who is an Accredited Investor,

securities or securities-based derivatives contracts (each as defined in Section 2(1) of the SFA) of that corporation and the beneficiaries’ rights and interest (howsoever described) in that trust shall not be transferred within six months after that corporation or that trust has subscribed for or acquired the Program Securities except:

(A) to an Institutional Investor, or an Accredited Investor or other Relevant Person, or which arises from an offer referred to in Section 275(1A) of the SFA (in the case of that corporation) or Section 276(4)(c)(ii) of the SFA (in the case of that trust);

(B) where no consideration is or will be given for the transfer;

(D) as specified in Section 276(7) of the SFA; or

(E) as specified in Regulation 37A of the Securities and Futures (Offers of Investments) (Securities and Securities-based Derivatives Contracts) Regulations 2018.

(i) (i) Subject to sub-paragraph (ii) below:

(A) the Program Securities will not be publicly offered, directly or indirectly, in Switzerland within the meaning of the Swiss Financial Services Act (the "FinSA") and will not be admitted to trading on a trading venue (exchange or multilateral trading facility) in Switzerland;

(B) neither the free writing prospectus relating to the Program Securities, the Prospectus nor any other offering or marketing material relating to any Program Securities (x) constitutes a prospectus compliant with the requirements of articles 652a and 1156 of the Swiss Code of Obligations (as such articles were in effect immediately prior to the entry into effect of the FinSA) in accordance with article 109 of the Swiss Financial Services Ordinance ("FinSO") or pursuant to articles 35 and 45 of the FinSA for a public offering of the Program Securities in Switzerland and no such prospectus has been or will be prepared for or in connection with the offering of the Program Securities in Switzerland or (y) has been or will be filed with or approved by a Swiss review body (Prüfstelle) pursuant to article 52 of the FinSA; and

(C) neither the free writing prospectus relating to the Program Securities, the Prospectus nor any other offering or marketing material relating to any Program Securities may be publicly distributed or otherwise made publicly available in Switzerland.

(ii) Notwithstanding sub-paragraph (i) above, in respect of any issuance of Program Securities, Morgan Stanley or MSFL, as applicable, and you may agree that (x) such Program Securities may be publicly offered in Switzerland within the meaning of the FinSA and/or (y) an application will be made by (or on behalf of) the issuer to admit such Program Securities to trading on a trading venue (exchange or multilateral trading facility) in Switzerland, provided that:

(A) the issuer is able to rely, and is relying, on an exemption from the requirement to prepare and publish a prospectus under the FinSA in connection with such public offer and/or application for admission to trading;

(B) in the case of any such public offer, you have agreed to comply with any restrictions applicable to the offer and sale of such Program Securities that must be complied with in order for the issuer to rely on such exemption; and

(C) the applicable pricing supplement will specify that such Program Securities may be publicly offered in Switzerland within the meaning of the FinSA and/or the trading venue in Switzerland to which an application will be made by (or on behalf of) the issuer to admit such securities to trading thereon.

(iii) That,

(A) no key information document (Basisinformationsblatt) pursuant to article 58 (1) of the FinSA (or any equivalent document under the FinSA) has been or will be prepared in relation to any Program Securities; and

(B) therefore, any Program Securities with a derivative character within the meaning of article 86 (2) of the FinSO may not be offered or recommended to private clients within the meaning of the FinSA in Switzerland.

(j) The Program Securities have not been and will not be registered with the Financial Market Commission of Chile (“CMF”) under the Securities Market Law of Chile (Law 18.045, as amended). You will not offer or sell, directly or indirectly, any Program Securities in Chile and you will not distribute or cause to be distributed in Chile any prospectuses or other offering materials relating to the Program Securities except to “eligible investors” and subject to the provisions of Norma de Carácter General No. 336 (“NCG 336”) of June 27, 2012 of the CMF.

This distribution agreement is solely our responsibility and has not been reviewed or authorized by the CNBV.

Failure to Settle:

If The Bank of New York Mellon fails to enter an SDFS deliver order with respect to a Book-Entry Note, a Book-Entry Unit or Book-Entry Warrant pursuant to “Settlement Procedure” “H”, The Bank of New York Mellon may deliver to DTC, through DTC’s Participant Terminal System, as soon as practicable a withdrawal message instructing DTC to debit such Note, Unit or Warrant to The Bank of New York Mellon’s participant account, provided that The Bank of New York Mellon’s participant account

If the purchase price for any Book-Entry Note, Book-Entry Unit or Book-Entry Warrant is not timely paid to the Participants with respect to such Note, Unit or Warrant by the beneficial purchaser thereof (or a person, including an indirect participant in DTC, acting on behalf of such purchaser), such Participants and, in turn, the Agent may enter SDFS deliver orders through DTC’s Participant

B-18

Terminal System reversing the orders entered pursuant to Settlement Procedures “H” and “I”, respectively. Thereafter, The Bank of New York Mellon will deliver the withdrawal message and take the related actions described in the preceding paragraph.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon any failure to settle with respect to a Book-Entry Note, Book-Entry Unit or Book-Entry Warrant, DTC may take any actions in accordance with its SDFS operating procedures then in effect.

In the event of a failure to settle with respect to one or more, but not all, of the Book-Entry Notes, Book-Entry Units or Book-Entry Warrants to have been represented by a Global Note, a Global Unit or a Global Warrant, as the case may be, The Bank of New York Mellon will provide, in accordance with Settlement Procedures “F” and “H”, for the authentication and issuance of a Global Note representing the Book-Entry Notes to be represented by such Global Note, for the issuance of a Global Unit representing the Book-Entry Units to be represented by such Global Unit or for the issuance of a Global Warrant representing the Book-Entry Warrants to be represented by such Global Warrant and, in each case, will make appropriate entries in its records.
