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.

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.

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.

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).

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, 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, 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 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) above 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) above 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 bear to the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by you in respect thereof 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)        In relation to each Member State of the European Economic Area which has implemented the Prospectus Directive (each, a “ Relevant Member State ”), with effect from and including the date on which the Prospectus Directive is implemented in that Relevant Member State (the “ Relevant Implementation Date ”), you will not make an offer of Program Securities which are the subject of the offering contemplated by any free writing prospectus relating to the Program Securities, the Prospectus and the Time of Sale Prospectus to the public in that Relevant Member State except that you may, with effect from and including the Relevant Implementation Date, make an offer of such Program Securities to the public in that Relevant Member State at any time:

(i)        to any legal entity which is a qualified investor as defined in the Prospectus Directive;

(ii)        to fewer than 150 natural or legal persons (other than qualified investors as defined in the Prospectus Directive) subject to obtaining the prior consent of the relevant agent, underwriter or dealer nominated by the relevant Issuer for any such offer; or

(iii)        in any other circumstances falling within Article 3(2) of the Prospectus Directive,

provided that no such offer of Program Securities referred to in (i) to (iii) above shall require the relevant Issuer, the Guarantor or any agent, underwriter or dealer to publish a prospectus pursuant to Article 3 of the Prospectus Directive.

For the purposes of this Section ‎9(a), the expression an “offer of Program Securities to the public” in relation to any Program Securities in any Relevant Member State means 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 the Program Securities, as the same may be varied in that Member State by any measure implementing the Prospectus Directive in that Member State and the expression “Prospectus Directive” means Directive 2003/71/EC (as amended, including by Directive 2010/73/EU) and includes any relevant implementing measure in each Relevant Member State.

(b)        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 either Issuer or 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.

(c)        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 Issuer.

(d)        The Program Securities have not been and will not be registered under the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act of Japan (Law No.25 of 1948, as amended, the “ FIEA ”). You will not offer or sell any Program Securities, directly or indirectly, in Japan or to or for the account or benefit of any resident of Japan (as defined under Item 5, Paragraph 1, Article 6 of the Foreign Exchange and Foreign Trade Act (Law No. 228 of 1949, as amended)) or to others for re-offering or resale, directly or indirectly, in Japan or

to or for the account or benefit of a resident of Japan, except 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.

(e)        You will not offer or sell, directly or indirectly, any Program Securities in the Republic of France and will not distribute or cause to be distributed in the Republic of France the Prospectus or any other offering material relating to the Program Securities, except to qualified investors ( investisseurs qualifiés ) as defined in and in accordance with Articles L.411-2 and D.411-1 of the French Code Monétaire et Financier .

(f)        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. Accordingly, unless permitted by the securities laws of Hong Kong, no person may issue or have in its possession for the purpose of issue, the Prospectus or any advertisement, invitation or document relating to the Program Securities, 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 in Hong Kong other than in relation to Program Securities which are intended to be disposed of only to persons outside Hong Kong or only to “professional investors” (as such term is defined in the Securities and Futures Ordinance (Cap. 571 of the Laws of Hong Kong) (“SFO”) and the subsidiary legislation made thereunder) or in circumstances which do not result in the Prospectus being a “prospectus” as defined in the Companies (Winding Up and Miscellaneous Provisions) Ordinance of Hong Kong (Cap. 32 of the Laws of Hong Kong) (“CO”) or which do not constitute an offer or an invitation to the public for the purposes of the SFO or the CO. 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 issue, circulate or distribute the Prospectus in Hong Kong or make or give a copy of the Prospectus to any other person.

(g)        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, Chapter 289 of Singapore, as amended (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 a relevant person (as defined in Section 275(2) of the SFA (a “Relevant Person”)) 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, or (iii) otherwise pursuant to, and in accordance with the conditions of, any other applicable exemption or provision of the SFA.  You understand that where Program

Securities are subscribed or purchased 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 as defined in Section 4A of the SFA (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) whose sole purpose is to hold investments and each beneficiary of the trust is an individual who is an Accredited Investor,

shares, debentures and units of shares and debentures of that corporation and the beneficiaries’ rights and interests (howsoever described) in that trust shall not be transferred for six months after that corporation or that trust has acquired the Program Securities pursuant to an offer made under Section 275 of the SFA except:

(A) to an Institutional Investor, a Relevant Person, or any person pursuant to an offer referred to in Section 275(1A) of the SFA (in the case of that corporation) or Section 276(4)(i)(B) of the SFA (in the case of that trust);

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

(C) where the transfer is by operation of law;

(D) pursuant to Section 276(7) of the SFA; or

(E) as specified in Regulation 32 of the Securities and Futures (Offers of Investments) (Shares and Debentures) Regulations 2005 of Singapore.

(h)        The Program Securities may not be offered or sold, directly or indirectly, in or from Switzerland except in circumstances that will not result in the offer of the Program Securities being a public offering in Switzerland within the meaning of the Swiss Federal Code of Obligations (“ CO ”). Neither the free writing prospectus relating to the Program Securities, the Prospectus nor any other offering or marketing material relating to the Program Securities constitutes a prospectus as that term is understood pursuant to Article 652a or 1156 CO or a listing prospectus pursuant to the listing rules of SIX Swiss Exchange, and neither the free writing prospectus relating to the Program Securities, the Prospectus nor any other offering material relating to the Program Securities may be publicly distributed or otherwise made publicly available in Switzerland. The Program Securities are not authorized by or registered with the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority as a foreign collective investment scheme. Therefore, investors do not benefit from protection under the Swiss Federal Act on Collective Investment Schemes or supervision by the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority.

(i)        Without prejudice to the provisions of this Section ‎9 above, if any Program Securities are to be offered outside the United States, you will not purchase, deliver, offer or sell any such Program Securities, or possess or distribute offering material in relation to such Program Securities, in any jurisdiction if such purchase, delivery, offer or sale or the possession or distribution of such offering material would not be in compliance with any applicable law or regulation or if any consent, approval or permission is needed for such purchase, delivery, offer or sale or the possession or distribution by you or for or on behalf of either Issuer or the Guarantor unless such consent, approval or permission has been previously obtained. Without prejudice to the provisions of this Section ‎9 above and subject to the obligations of the Issuers and the Guarantor set forth in Section ‎4 of this Agreement, neither Issuer nor the Guarantor shall have any responsibility for, and you will obtain, any consent, approval or permission required by you for the subscription, offer, sale or delivery by you of Program Securities, or the possession or distribution of any offering materials, under the laws and regulations in force in any jurisdiction to which you are subject or in or from which you make any subscription, offer, sale or delivery.

10.        Termination . This Agreement may be terminated at any time either by Morgan Stanley, MSFL or by you upon the giving of written notice of such termination to the other parties hereto, but without prejudice to any rights, obligations or liabilities of the other parties hereto accrued or incurred prior to such termination. The termination of this Agreement shall not require termination of any Notes Terms Agreement, Units Terms Agreement or Warrants Terms Agreement, and the termination of any such Notes Terms Agreement, Units Terms Agreement or Warrants Terms Agreement shall not require termination of this Agreement. If this Agreement is terminated, the provisions of the third paragraph of Section ‎3(a), the last sentence of Section ‎4(e) and Sections ‎4(f), ‎4(k), ‎4(l), ‎7, ‎8, ‎9, ‎11, ‎12 and ‎14 shall survive; provided that if at the time of termination an offer to purchase Program Securities has been accepted by the relevant Issuer but the time of delivery to the purchaser or its agent of such Program Securities has not occurred, the provisions of Sections ‎1, ‎2, ‎3(b), ‎3(c), ‎4(d), ‎4(f), ‎4(g), ‎4(h), ‎4(i), ‎4(j), ‎4(m), ‎5 and ‎6 shall also survive until such delivery has been made.

11.        Notices . All communications hereunder will be in writing and effective only on receipt, and, if sent to you, will be mailed, delivered or telefaxed and confirmed to you at 1585 Broadway, New York, New York 10036, Attention: Treasurer (telefax number: 212 761-0781) or, if sent to Morgan Stanley Finance LLC and/or Morgan Stanley, in each case, will be mailed, delivered or telefaxed and confirmed at 1585 Broadway, New York, New York 10036, Attention: Treasurer; Facsimile No.: 212-762-7337.

13.        Counterparts . This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument.

14.        Applicable Law . This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York.

(b)        Each time the Company furnishes a certificate pursuant to Section 5(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), the Company will furnish or cause to be furnished forthwith to you a written opinion of counsel for the Company. 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 4(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, the

Company 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 4(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.

6.        Indemnity and Contribution . (a) The Company agrees 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, any issuer free writing prospectus as defined in Rule 433(h) under the Securities Act, any Company information that the Company has filed, or is required to file, pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act, or the Prospectus (as amended or supplemented if the Company 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 the Company in writing by you expressly for use therein.

(b)        You agree, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, its officers who sign the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company 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 the Company to you, but only with reference to information relating to you furnished to the Company in writing by you expressly for use in the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus, any issuer free writing prospectus 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 6(a) or 6(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 6(a), and by the Company, in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 6(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 6(a) or 6(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 Company 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 6(d)(i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause 6(d)(i) above but also the relative fault of the Company 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 Company 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 the Company bear to the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by you in respect thereof as set forth in the Prospectus. The relative fault of the Company 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 Company 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 6 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)        The Company and you agree that it would not be just or equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 6 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 6(d). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in Section 6(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 6, 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 6(d) above 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 6 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 6 and the representations, warranties and other statements of the Company, its officers and you contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement or any Notes Terms Agreement or Units 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 or Units Terms Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by or on behalf of you or any person controlling you, any of your affiliates or by or on behalf of the Company, its officers or directors or any person controlling the Company and (iii) acceptance of and payment for any of the Program Securities.

7.        Offering Restrictions . You hereby represent to the Company and agree with respect to the Program Securities that:

(a)        In relation to each Member State of the European Economic Area which has implemented the Prospectus Directive (each, a “ Relevant Member State ”), with effect from and including the date on which the Prospectus Directive is implemented in that Relevant Member State (the “ Relevant Implementation Date ”), you will not make an offer of Program Securities which are the subject of the offering contemplated by any free writing prospectus relating to the Program Securities, the Prospectus and

the Time of Sale Prospectus to the public in that Relevant Member State except that you may, with effect from and including the Relevant Implementation Date, make an offer of such Program Securities to the public in that Relevant Member State at any time:

(i)       to any legal entity which is a qualified investor as defined in the Prospectus Directive;

(ii)       to fewer than 150 natural or legal persons (other than qualified investors as defined in the Prospectus Directive) subject to obtaining the prior consent of the relevant agent, underwriter or dealer nominated by the Company for any such offer; or

(iii)       in any other circumstances falling within Article 3(2) of the Prospectus Directive,

provided that no such offer of Program Securities referred to in (i) to (iii) above shall require the Company or any agent, underwriter or dealer to publish a prospectus pursuant to Article 3 of the Prospectus Directive.

For the purposes of this Section 7(a), the expression an “offer of Program Securities to the public” in relation to any Program Securities in any Relevant Member State means 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 the Program Securities, as the same may be varied in that Member State by any measure implementing the Prospectus Directive in that Member State and the expression “Prospectus Directive” means Directive 2003/71/EC (as amended, including by Directive 2010/73/EU) and includes any relevant implementing measure in each Relevant Member State.

(b)        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 Company, 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.

(c)        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 Company.

(d)        The Program Securities have not been and will not be registered under the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act of Japan (Law No.25 of 1948, as amended, the “ FIEA ”). You will not offer or sell any Program Securities, directly or indirectly, in Japan or to or for the account or benefit of any resident of Japan (as defined under Item 5, Paragraph 1, Article 6 of the Foreign Exchange and Foreign Trade Act (Law No. 228 of 1949, as amended)) or to others for re-offering or resale, directly or indirectly, in Japan or to or for the account or benefit of a resident of Japan, except 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.

(e)        You will not offer or sell, directly or indirectly, any Program Securities in the Republic of France and will not distribute or cause to be distributed in the Republic of France the Prospectus or any other offering material relating to the Program Securities, except to qualified investors ( investisseurs qualifiés ) as defined in and in accordance with Articles L.411-2 and D.411-1 of the French Code Monétaire et Financier .

(f)        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. Accordingly, unless permitted by the securities laws of Hong Kong, no person may issue or have in its possession for the purpose of issue, the Prospectus or any advertisement, invitation or document relating to the Program Securities, 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 in Hong Kong other than in relation to Program Securities which are intended to be disposed of only to persons outside Hong Kong or only to “professional investors” (as such term is defined in the Securities and Futures Ordinance (Cap. 571 of the Laws of Hong Kong) (“SFO”) and the subsidiary legislation made thereunder) or in circumstances which do not result in the Prospectus being a “prospectus” as defined in the Companies (Winding Up and Miscellaneous Provisions) Ordinance of Hong Kong (Cap. 32 of the Laws of Hong Kong) (“CO”) or which do not constitute an offer or an invitation to the public for the purposes of the SFO or the CO. 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 issue, circulate or distribute the Prospectus in Hong Kong or make or give a copy of the Prospectus to any other person.

(g)        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, Chapter 289 of Singapore, as amended (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 a relevant person (as defined in Section 275(2) of the SFA (a “Relevant Person” )) 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, or (iii) otherwise pursuant to, and in accordance with the conditions of, any other applicable exemption or provision of the SFA.  You understand that where Program Securities are subscribed or purchased 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 as defined in Section 4A of the SFA (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) whose sole purpose is to hold investments and each beneficiary of the trust is an individual who is an Accredited Investor,

shares, debentures and units of shares and debentures of that corporation and the beneficiaries’ rights and interests (howsoever described) in that trust shall not be transferred for six months after that corporation or that trust has acquired the Program Securities pursuant to an offer made under Section 275 of the SFA except:

(A)       to an Institutional Investor, a Relevant Person, or any person pursuant to an offer referred to in Section 275(1A) of the SFA (in the case of that corporation) or Section 276(4)(i)(B) of the SFA (in the case of that trust);

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

(C)       where the transfer is by operation of law;

(D)       pursuant to Section 276(7) of the SFA; or

(E)       as specified in Regulation 32 of the Securities and Futures (Offers of Investments) (Shares and Debentures) Regulations 2005 of Singapore.

(h)        The Program Securities may not be offered or sold, directly or indirectly, in or from Switzerland except in circumstances that will not result in the offer of the Program Securities being a public offering in Switzerland within the meaning of the Swiss Federal Code of Obligations (“ CO ”). Neither the free writing prospectus relating to the Program Securities, the Prospectus nor any other offering or marketing material relating to the Program Securities constitutes a prospectus as that term is understood pursuant to Article 652a or 1156 CO or a listing prospectus pursuant to the listing rules of SIX Swiss Exchange, and neither the free writing prospectus relating to the Program Securities, the Prospectus nor any other offering material relating to the Program Securities may be publicly distributed or otherwise made publicly available in Switzerland. The Program Securities are not authorized by or registered with the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority as a foreign collective investment scheme. Therefore, investors do not benefit from protection under the Swiss Federal Act on Collective Investment Schemes or supervision by the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority.

(i)        Without prejudice to the provisions of this Section 7 above, you will not purchase, deliver, offer or sell any Program Securities, or possess or distribute offering material in relation to such Program Securities, in any jurisdiction if such purchase, delivery, offer or sale or the possession or distribution of such offering material would not be in compliance with any applicable law or regulation or if any consent, approval or permission is needed for such purchase, delivery, offer or sale or the possession or distribution by you or for or on behalf of the Company unless such consent, approval or permission has been previously obtained. Without prejudice to the provisions of this Section 7 above and subject to the obligations of the Company set forth in Section 3 of this Agreement, the Company shall have no responsibility for, and you will obtain, any consent, approval or permission required by you for the subscription, offer, sale or delivery by you of Program Securities, or the possession or distribution of any offering materials, under the laws and regulations in force in any jurisdiction to which you are subject or in or from which you make any subscription, offer, sale or delivery.

8.        Position of the Agent . In acting under this Agreement and in connection with the sale of any Program Securities by the Company (other than Program Securities sold to you pursuant to a Notes Terms Agreement or Units Terms Agreement, as the case may be), you are acting solely as agent of the Company 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 Company in obtaining performance by each purchaser whose offer to purchase Program Securities has been solicited by you and accepted by the Company, but you shall not have any liability to the Company in the event any such purchase is not consummated for any reason. If the Company shall default in its obligations to deliver Program Securities to a purchaser whose offer it has accepted, the Company 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.        Termination . This Agreement may be terminated at any time either by the Company or by you upon the giving of written notice of such termination to the other parties hereto, but without prejudice to any rights, obligations or liabilities of the other parties hereto accrued or incurred prior to such termination. The termination of this Agreement shall not require termination of any Notes Terms Agreement or Units Terms Agreement, and the termination of any such Notes Terms Agreement or Units Terms Agreement shall not require termination of this Agreement. If this Agreement is terminated, the provisions of the third paragraph of Section 2(a), the last sentence of Section 3(e) and Sections 3(f), 3(j), 3(k), 6, 7, 8, 10, 11 and 13 shall survive; provided that if at the time of termination an offer to purchase Program Securities has been accepted by the Company but the time of delivery to the purchaser or its agent of such Program Securities has not occurred, the provisions of Sections 1, 2(b), 2(c), 3(d), 3(f), 3(g), 3(h), 3(i), 3(l), 4 and 5 shall also survive until such delivery has been made.
