(subject to the limitation in Section 4(d)):
1. The number
of Shares available for delivery shall be reduced by the number of
Shares subject to an Award and, in the case of an Award that is not

payment or settlement of the Award.

any tax withholding obligation or liability of a Participant shall

of Shares in respect of any portion of an Award that is canceled or
that expires without having been paid or settled by the Company or
the MS Group shall be added back to the number of Shares available
for delivery pursuant to Awards to the extent such Shares were
counted against the Shares available for delivery pursuant to

Award is settled or paid by the Company or the MS Group in whole or
in part through the delivery of consideration other than Shares, or
by delivery of fewer than the full number of Shares that was
counted against the Shares available for delivery pursuant to
clause (1), there shall be added back to the number of Shares
available for delivery pursuant to Awards the excess of the number
of Shares that had been so counted over the number of Shares (if
any) actually delivered upon payment or settlement of the
Award.

ISO Limit . The full number of Shares available
for delivery under the Plan may be delivered pursuant to Incentive

permitted by Section 422 of the Code.

full or partial payment of any Award that constitutes a deferral of
compensation
subject to Section 409A is made upon
or as a result of a Participant’s termination of employment,
the Participant will be considered to have experienced a
termination of employment if, and only if, the Participant has
experienced a separation from service with the Participant’s
employer for purposes of Section 409A; (ix) to vary the terms of

subcommittees thereof or of one or more members of the Board who
are not members of the Committee or one or more officers of the
Company or the MS Group (or of any combination of such
persons). Any such delegation shall be subject to the
restrictions and limits that the Committee specifies at the time of
such delegation or thereafter. The Committee may at any
time rescind all or part of the authority delegated to an
Administrator or appoint a new Administrator. At all
times, an Administrator appointed under this Section 5(b) shall
serve in such capacity at the pleasure of the
Committee. Any action undertaken by an Administrator in
accordance with the Committee’s delegation of authority shall
have the same force and effect as if undertaken directly by the
Committee, and any reference in the Plan to the Committee shall, to
the extent consistent with the terms and limitations of such
delegation, be deemed to include a reference to an
Administrator.
