S-3 SUMMARY - THE OFFERING The following discussion provides a general description of the terms of the Corporate Bond TRACERS(SM) Units offered by the CBT Series 2003-1 Units Trust. You should read this question and answer discussion together with the more detailed information that is contained in the rest of this prospectus supplement and in the accompanying prospectus. You should carefully consider, among other things, the matters set forth in "Risk Factors." "TRACERS" is a service mark of Morgan Stanley. What is the Trust? The CBT Series 2003-1 Units Trust is a newly formed New York trust created pursuant to a trust agreement to be dated September 25, 2003 between MS Structured Asset Corp., which we refer to as the "Depositor," and LaSalle Bank National Association, which we refer to as the "Trustee." What is being offered? The Trust is offering Corporate Bond TRACERS Units, or the "Units," in an aggregate unit principal balance of $25,000,000, with an initial principal balance of $1,000 per Unit. The Corporate Bond TRACERS Units will be issued in denominations of one Unit and integral multiples thereof. What does a Corporate Bond TRACERS Unit represent? Each Corporate Bond TRACERS Unit has an initial unit principal balance of $1,000 and will represent an undivided beneficial interest in the property of the Trust, which consists of: o $1,000,000 principal amount of each of 25 investment-grade debt securities, which we refer to as the "Underlying Securities," and which are listed beginning on page S-10 of this prospectus supplement; and o a "Payment Agreement," which we describe in detail below in the section of this prospectus supplement called "Description of Payment Agreement." The Trust will have an aggregate unit principal balance of $25,000,000 at the time of the initial sale of the Units. The $1,000 initial unit principal balance of each Corporate Bond TRACERS Unit will be reduced each time there is a distribution of principal on an Underlying Security held by the Trust. A portion of the principal of each Corporate Bond TRACERS Unit will be paid to you whenever an Underlying Security reaches maturity, is redeemed or repaid early or is subject to a "Mandatory Liquidation," as described below under "--Will the Trust ever sell any of the Underlying Securities?" and in the section of this prospectus supplement called "Description of Corporate Bond TRACERS Units--Mandatory Liquidation of Underlying Securities." Each one of these events will reduce the aggregate principal balance of the Underlying Securities in the Trust, and therefore, reduce the unit principal balance applicable to each Unit. Holders of the Corporate Bond TRACERS Units will not have the right to exchange the Corporate Bond TRACERS Units for the Underlying Securities at any time and will not receive the Underlying Securities under any circumstances. How will the Underlying Securities be purchased? The Underlying Securities were purchased in the secondary market by MS Structured Asset Corp., as Depositor, or its affiliates, and will be deposited into the Trust at issuance of the Corporate Bond TRACERS Units. The issuers of the Underlying Securities, which we refer to as the "Security Issuers," are not participating in this offering in any way and have no obligations under the Corporate Bond TRACERS Units. S-4 What payments will I receive on the Corporate Bond TRACERS Units? You will receive interest paid in arrears on the 25th day of each month, commencing in October 2003, based on the current principal balance of the Corporate Bond TRACERS Units that you hold, and you will receive principal payments on the Units from time to time based on the distributions of principal on the Underlying Securities held by the Trust. How will the interest payments on the Corporate Bond TRACERS Units be determined? The Corporate Bond TRACERS Units will initially pay 5.22% interest per year on the unit principal balance of each Corporate Bond TRACERS Unit. The interest will be payable in monthly installments equal to the monthly payments received by the Trust under the Payment Agreement less expenses. The monthly payments under the Payment Agreement will in turn be based upon the weighted average interest rate of the Underlying Securities held by the Trust. The initial schedule of interest payments on the Units is set forth in Schedule A under the column called "Scheduled Trust Payments of Interest." The Trust will enter into a Payment Agreement, as further described below, in order to make equal monthly interest payments to holders of Corporate Bond TRACERS Units. The Payment Agreement will have the effect of converting the interest paid semi-annually or otherwise on the Underlying Securities into equal monthly installments. The interest on the Corporate Bond TRACERS Units paid to you by the Trust is entirely dependent on the Trust's receipt of payments of interest from the Security Issuers on the Underlying Securities and its receipt of monthly payments from the Payment Counterparty. If a Security Issuer does not make a scheduled payment of interest on an Underlying Security to the Trust, or if a monthly payment is not made to the Trust by the Payment Counterparty, the amount of interest paid on the Corporate Bond TRACERS Units will be reduced accordingly and will not equal the amount listed in Schedule A for that payment date. Can the interest rate on the Corporate Bond TRACERS Units change? Yes, the interest rate on the Corporate Bond TRACERS Units will vary based on the Underlying Securities that remain in the Trust at any point in time. Because the initial interest rate of 5.22% is based on the weighted average of the interest rates of the Underlying Securities in the Trust at the initial sale of the Units, the rate will change when an Underlying Security matures, is redeemed or repaid or is subject to a Mandatory Liquidation. The new rate will be based on the weighted average of the interest rates paid on the Underlying Securities remaining in the Trust, and the amount of each remaining interest payment on the Units will be smaller due to the decrease in the number of Underlying Securities and the consequent reduction of the unit principal balance of each Corporate Bond TRACERS Unit. Whenever there is a change to the interest payments on the Units, a revised Schedule A will be filed with the SEC by the Trustee on Form 8-K and will be available from your Morgan Stanley financial advisor upon request and the Trustee will provide notice of the change to holders of the Corporate Bond TRACERS Units. How will the principal of the Corporate Bond TRACERS Units be paid? Principal will be paid on the Corporate Bond TRACERS Units following the maturity of each Underlying Security in the amounts and on the dates set forth in Schedule A, or in the case of any payments of principal made earlier than the scheduled maturity date of an Underlying Security (exclusive of any "make-whole" amounts), on the next scheduled interest payment date for the Units. If an Underlying Security is redeemed or repaid or becomes subject to a Mandatory Liquidation prior to its maturity, you will receive on the next scheduled interest payment date for the Corporate Bond TRACERS Units an early principal payment on your Units with respect to that Underlying Security, which, in the case of a Mandatory Liquidation in particular, may be less than the full principal payment that would otherwise have been due at the S-5 maturity of that Underlying Security. Once you have received that early payment, you will not be entitled to receive the scheduled principal payment on the Units corresponding to that Underlying Security that would otherwise have been paid at the maturity of that Underlying Security. The principal on the Corporate Bond TRACERS Units paid to you by the Trust is entirely dependent on the Trust's receipt from the Security Issuers of payments of principal on the Underlying Securities. In the event that a scheduled payment of principal on an Underlying Security is not made to the Trust by a Security Issuer, the amount in Schedule A under the column called "Scheduled Payments of Principal" corresponding to that principal payment will not be paid to you. The scheduled maturity dates of the Underlying Securities range from October 25, 2011 to July 15, 2013, and the weighted average remaining life of the Underlying Securities is 9.2 years. We expect that the last distribution on the Corporate Bond TRACERS Units will be made on or about July 25, 2013. Whenever there is an unscheduled distribution of principal on the Units, a revised Schedule A will be filed with the SEC by the Trustee on Form 8-K and will be available from your Morgan Stanley financial advisor upon request and the Trustee will provide notice of the change to holders of the Corporate Bond TRACERS Units. What happens if there are changes to the terms of Underlying Securities? Any change to the interest rate or maturity date of an Underlying Security will affect the remaining payments on the Corporate Bond TRACERS Units, and other changes to the terms of an Underlying Security may affect the payments on the Units. If there is any change to the scheduled payments on the Units, a revised Schedule A will be filed with the SEC by the Trustee on Form 8-K and will be available from your Morgan Stanley financial advisor upon request and the Trustee will provide notice of the change to holders of the Corporate Bond TRACERS Units. What is the purpose of the Payment Agreement? The Trust will enter into a Payment Agreement with Morgan Stanley Capital Services, which we refer to as "MSCS," as the Payment Counterparty, in order to make even, monthly interest payments to holders of Corporate Bond TRACERS Units. The obligations of MSCS under the Payment Agreement will be guaranteed by Morgan Stanley. Without the Payment Agreement the Trust would pay interest as it received the semi-annual, or other periodic, interest payments on the Underlying Securities, resulting in uneven interest payments on the Units. To achieve the monthly interest payments on the Corporate Bond TRACERS Units, the Payment Counterparty will advance monthly payments to the Trust that are based on the weighted average interest rate of the Underlying Securities, as adjusted to compensate the Payment Counterparty for the costs of advancing the monthly payments to the Trust prior to receiving the corresponding periodic payments on the Underlying Securities, and the Trust will pay to the Payment Counterparty all of the payments received by the Trust on the Underlying Securities, other than amounts attributable to the payment or repayment of principal and amounts constituting the retained interest of the Depositor. Are the monthly payments to the Trust under the Payment Agreement subject to change? In the event of any early redemption, repayment or Mandatory Liquidation of an Underlying Security, the part of the Payment Agreement relating to the payments on that Underlying Security will be terminated. The remaining monthly payments to the Trust under the Payment Agreement and the related interest payments to you on the Corporate Bond TRACERS Units will be reduced because there will be one less Underlying Security. S-6 Can the Payment Agreement terminate prior to the maturity of the Corporate Bond TRACERS Units? A part of the Payment Agreement will terminate upon the early removal of an Underlying Security from the Trust because of an early redemption, repayment or Mandatory Liquidation of the Underlying Security. The entire Payment Agreement will terminate if a "Specified Trust Wind-Up Event" occurs or the Payment Counterparty designates an "Early Termination Date" under the Payment Agreement, each as described in the section of this prospectus supplement called "Description of Payment Agreement--Payments upon Specified Trust Wind-Up Events or Early Termination of the Payment Agreement." If part of the Payment Agreement is terminated because of the Mandatory Liquidation of an Underlying Security, a payment will be due from the Trust to the Payment Counterparty, which we refer to as a "Reimbursement Payment," to reimburse the Payment Counterparty for any monthly payments it has previously advanced to the Trust with respect to interest on the Underlying Security. If the entire Payment Agreement is terminated as described above, a Reimbursement Payment, if applicable, will be due from the Trust to the Payment Counterparty with respect to each Underlying Security. Reimbursement Payments will generally be paid to the Payment Counterparty before any payments are made to holders of the Units. Please review the detailed discussion of the Payment Agreement, including the description of the Reimbursement Payments that the Trust may be required to pay, in the section of this prospectus supplement called "Description of Payment Agreement" and the description of risks related to the Payment Agreement in "Risk Factors." What happens if the entire Payment Agreement is terminated? If the entire Payment Agreement is terminated and the Units remain outstanding, holders of the Corporate Bond TRACERS Units will receive interest payments on the Units based on the interest payments received by the Trust on the Underlying Securities. The interest payments on the Units, without the Payment Agreement, will reflect the timing and amount of the payments on the Underlying Securities, less certain expenses. As a result, if an Underlying Security pays interest semi-annually, you would receive interest payments on the Units with respect to that Underlying Security twice a year, no later than the business day following the date the Trust receives the interest payment on the Underlying Security. Therefore, because the timing of the payments for the Underlying Securities will vary, the interest payments on the Units will not necessarily be regular and are likely to be spread unevenly throughout the year. If the entire Payment Agreement is terminated and the Units remain outstanding, a revised Schedule A that sets forth a revised schedule of interest payments will be filed with the SEC by the Trustee on Form 8-K and will be available from your Morgan Stanley financial advisor upon request and the Trustee will provide notice of the termination to holders of the Corporate Bond TRACERS Units. Will the interest payments on the Corporate Bond TRACERS Units exactly equal the interest payments on the Underlying Securities? No, the interest payments on the Units will equal the monthly payments to the Trust from the Payment Counterparty, less the deduction for expenses discussed below. The monthly payments to the Trust from the Payment Counterparty will be based on the semi-annual, or other periodic, interest payments on the Underlying Securities received by the Trust and paid to the Payment Counterparty, as adjusted to compensate the Payment Counterparty for the costs of advancing the monthly payments to the Trust prior to receiving the corresponding interest payments on the Underlying Securities. What is covered by Morgan Stanley's guarantee of the Payment Counterparty? Morgan Stanley will only guarantee the obligations of MSCS as Payment Counterparty, or any affiliate who succeeds as Payment Counterparty, under the terms of the Payment Agreement. Morgan Stanley will not guarantee the payments of principal and interest on the Underlying Securities. If MSCS assigns its obligations to any non- S-7 affiliate who becomes a Payment Counterparty, which can only occur if the rating agencies accept the assignment of the Payment Agreement, Morgan Stanley will not guarantee the obligations of the non-affiliate Payment Counterparty. What are the expenses payable by the Trust? The Trust will retain an amount of each payment of interest it receives from the Payment Counterparty pursuant to the Payment Agreement, equal to 0.063% per annum of the then current principal amount of the Underlying Securities (computed on a 30/360 day count basis), in an expense account in order to pay the expenses of the Trust. The Trustee will pay the expenses of the Trust, including the fees of the rating agencies, listing fees and its own fees as Trustee, from such amounts. The Trust will not retain any portion of the principal distributions at the maturity of an Underlying Security for expenses of the Trust. In addition, the Trust will invest any principal payments it receives prior to the applicable payment dates for those payments and will retain any income earned on the investments in the expense account to pay for expenses of the Trust. If the amounts retained by the Trust are not sufficient to cover the Trust's expenses, the Depositor shall be responsible for such shortfall. Any amounts remaining in the expense account after payment of the Trust's expenses will be distributed quarterly to the Depositor. Will the Trust ever sell any of the Underlying Securities? The Trustee will be required to sell an Underlying Security, which we refer to as a "Mandatory Liquidation," and deliver the proceeds of such sale, less expenses and any applicable Reimbursement Payment, to holders of the Corporate Bond TRACERS Units if either of the following events occurs: o there is an "underlying security default," as defined under "Description of Trust Property" in the accompanying prospectus, with respect to the Underlying Security that permits acceleration or any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding is initiated with respect to the related Security Issuer; or o the Underlying Security becomes a "disqualified underlying security," as defined under "Description of Trust Property" in the accompanying prospectus. The occurrence of either of these events could cause a rating agency to change the rating of the Corporate Bond TRACERS Units. In addition, if certain "Trust Wind-Up Events" described under "Description of Corporate Bond TRACERS Units--Trust Wind-Up Events" in this prospectus supplement occur, the Trustee will sell all of the Underlying Securities and deliver the proceeds of such sale, less expenses and any applicable Reimbursement Payments, to holders of the Corporate Bond TRACERS Units. What is the rating of the Corporate Bond TRACERS Units? The Corporate Bond TRACERS Units are expected to be assigned a rating of "A3" by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. and "A-" by Standard & Poor's Ratings Services, subject to meeting the requirements of those rating agencies. See the section of this prospectus supplement called "Description of Corporate Bond TRACERS Units--Rating." The Corporate Bond TRACERS Units must be assigned a rating of at least Baa3 by Moody's or at least BBB- by S&P in order to be issued. The expected ratings of the Corporate Bond TRACERS Units are based on the initial portfolio of Underlying Securities. These ratings may change if any Underlying Security is removed from the portfolio upon its maturity or due to a redemption, repayment or Mandatory Liquidation, or if any Underlying Security becomes subject to a rating change. S-8 What about taxes? The Trust will be classified as a grantor trust for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Each holder will be treated as if it owns a pro rata share of the Underlying Securities directly and enters into a pro rata share of the Payment Agreement with the Payment Counterparty. The Trust intends to take the position that interest on the Underlying Securities will be included in a holder's income as it accrues or is paid on the Underlying Securities in accordance with the holder's method of accounting for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Under this approach, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, interest on a Corporate Bond TRACERS Unit will not be separately included as income by a holder when it is paid on interest payment dates. The Trust will report such interest to holders in a manner consistent with this treatment. In addition, while the proper method for calculating market discount and premium is uncertain, the Trust believes that it is reasonable for initial holders that purchase Units on original issuance at an initial price that is greater than the Unit Principal Balance to take the position that the holders do not have any market discount associated with the Underlying Securities. Certain other applicable rules regarding the U.S. federal income tax treatment of the Units, including the proper method for determining gain or loss to a holder upon disposition by the Trust of an Underlying Security, are uncertain and complex. Please read carefully the discussion in the section of this prospectus supplement called "United States Federal Income Taxation." Will the Corporate Bond TRACERS Units be listed on a stock exchange? The Corporate Bond TRACERS Units have been approved for listing on the American Stock Exchange, subject to official notice of issuance. The American Stock Exchange listing symbol for the Units is "TAK.A." Trading on the American Stock Exchange is expected to begin on or prior to October 9, 2003. Are there any ERISA considerations that should be reviewed before investing in the Corporate Bond TRACERS Units? Yes, prospective purchasers must carefully consider the restrictions on purchase set forth under "ERISA Considerations" in this prospectus supplement. In what form will the Corporate Bond TRACERS Units be issued? The Corporate Bond TRACERS Units will be represented solely by one or more permanent global unit certificates in fully registered form deposited with the Trustee as custodian for, and registered in the name of, a nominee of The Depository Trust Company, or "DTC." Are there any risks associated with an investment in the Corporate Bond TRACERS Units? Yes, an investment in the Units is subject to risks. Please refer to the section of this prospectus supplement called "Risk Factors" beginning on page S-12. How do I obtain additional information? You may obtain additional information about the Units from your Morgan Stanley financial advisor. Where can I find more information or details about the Corporate Bond TRACERS Units? Because this is a summary question and answer discussion, it does not contain all of the information that may be important to you. You should read the section of this prospectus supplement called "Description of Corporate Bond TRACERS Units" and "Description of Payment Agreement" for a detailed description of the terms of the Corporate Bond TRACERS Units. You should also read about some of the risks involved in investing in the Corporate Bond TRACERS Units in the section of this prospectus supplement called "Risk Factors." We urge you to consult with your investment, legal, tax, accounting and other advisors with regard to any proposed or actual investment in the Corporate Bond TRACERS Units.

In addition, if there is an early redemption, repayment or Mandatory Liquidation of an Underlying Security, the Payment Counterparty will reduce the amount of its monthly payment to the Trust. Consequently, the amount of interest payable to you by the Trust on succeeding interest payment dates will be reduced proportionately based on the amount of the interest scheduled to have been paid with respect to that Underlying Security pursuant to the Payment Agreement. The Payment Agreement In the event of a Mandatory Liquidation of an may require payments by Underlying Security or a Specified Trust Wind-Up the Trust to the Payment Event or if the Payment Counterparty designates Counterparty that reduce an "Early Termination Date," the Payment the amount available to be Counterparty will be entitled to receive from the paid to you liquidation proceeds, prior to any payment to the holders of the Corporate Bond TRACERS Units, a Reimbursement Payment equal to the value of any monthly payments made to the Trust that correspond to the accrued but unpaid interest owed on the affected Underlying Securities. The payment to the Payment Counterparty of a Reimbursement Payment with respect to any Underlying Security will reduce the amount of money available to make payments to holders of the Corporate Bond TRACERS Units. The principal of the The principal payments on the Corporate Bond Corporate Bond TRACERS TRACERS Units will be paid to holders as the Units will be repaid in principal is paid on the Underlying Securities installments held by the Trust. The principal payment per Unit paid upon the maturity of an Underlying Security will be only a fraction of the initial unit principal balance per Corporate Bond TRACERS Unit and may be paid in amounts too small to reinvest without aggregating the repayment with other funds.

Secondary trading may There may be little or no secondary market for be limited the Corporate Bond TRACERS Units. Although the Corporate Bond TRACERS Units have been approved for listing on the American Stock Exchange LLC, it is not possible to predict whether the Corporate Bond TRACERS Units will trade in the secondary market after trading begins. Even if there is a secondary market, it may not provide significant liquidity. Morgan Stanley DW Inc., an affiliate of Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated, currently intends to act as a market maker for the Corporate Bond TRACERS Units but is not required to do so. Corporate Bond TRACERS The market price of the Corporate Bond TRACERS Units are not directly Units will be influenced by several factors, correlated with the including the value of the Underlying Securities Underlying Securities and the value of the Payment Agreement, and the Corporate Bond TRACERS Units may trade at a discount to the aggregate value of the Underlying Securities. The timing of distributions The timing of distributions on the Corporate Bond on the Corporate Bond TRACERS Units will be affected by any early TRACERS Units may be redemption, repayment or Mandatory Liquidation of affected by unpredictable the Underlying Securities. Furthermore, any such events redemption, repayment or Mandatory Liquidation of an Underlying Security will reduce expected future payments of interest on the Corporate Bond TRACERS Units by the amount of interest scheduled to have been paid with respect to that Underlying Security pursuant to the Payment Agreement. In addition, if the Payment Counterparty designates an "Illegality" or "Tax Event" under the Payment Agreement or if the Payment Counterparty defaults under the Payment Agreement, the Payment Agreement will be terminated in full and you will no longer receive regular monthly interest payments on the Corporate Bond TRACERS Units but will instead receive payments of interest on the Underlying Securities as such payments are received by the Trust. See "Description of Payment Agreement" below. In addition, if an Underlying Security is subject to a Mandatory Liquidation because there is a continuing default with respect to the Underlying Security that permits acceleration or any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding is initiated with respect to the related Security Issuer, the administrative agent must wait 45 days after the event giving rise to the Mandatory Liquidation occurs before S-13 liquidating the Underlying Security. The proceeds received from such a liquidation of an Underlying Security may be less than proceeds that would have been received following a liquidation of the Underlying Security at the time such an event occurs. The Trust will terminate and all of the Underlying Securities will be liquidated if certain events occur as described under "Description of Corporate Bond TRACERS Units-- Trust Wind-Up Events." Early payments on Any early redemption, repayment or Mandatory Underlying Securities may Liquidation of an Underlying Security may leave an investor unable to adversely affect an investor in Corporate Bond reinvest in comparable TRACERS Units by returning a portion of principal investments to the investor at a time when prevailing interest rates have declined and reinvestment of such funds at the rate applicable to the Underlying Security is not possible. The yield to maturity of the Certain of the Underlying Securities are Corporate Bond TRACERS redeemable by their issuer. The yield to maturity Units may be affected by of the Corporate Bond TRACERS Units may be early redemption of affected by any redemption of such Underlying Underlying Securities Securities prior to their stated maturity. A variety of tax, accounting, economic, strategic and other factors will influence whether a corporate issuer exercises its right of redemption in respect of its securities. There can be no certainty as to whether any Underlying Security redeemable at the option of its issuer will be repaid prior to its stated maturity. Corporate Bond TRACERS Investors in the Corporate Bond TRACERS Units are Units are subject to credit exposed to the credit risk of the issuers of the and price risk with respect Underlying Securities. Payments of principal and to the Underlying Securities interest on the Corporate Bond TRACERS Units are conditional upon the Trust's receipt of payments as a holder of the Underlying Securities. Moreover, both the market value of the Corporate Bond TRACERS Units and the amount the Trust will realize upon liquidation of an Underlying Security will depend in part upon the credit risk associated with the issuers of the Underlying Securities, as well as other unpredictable factors, including the liquidity of the trading market, if any, in the Underlying Securities, interest and yield rates in the market, the time remaining to maturity and whether and when the Underlying Securities are callable by the Issuer. The Trust will be required to liquidate an Underlying Security if certain events occur with respect to the Underlying Security, including a default, or upon termination of the Trust. The sale of an Underlying Security under such circumstances may result in proceeds that are substantially less than the principal amount of the Underlying Security or the value of the Underlying Security when the Trust was formed or when you purchased your Corporate Bond TRACERS Units. Corporate Bond TRACERS Fixed income instruments, such as the Underlying Units are subject to Securities, and the Payment Agreement are each interest rate risk subject to increases or decreases in value depending on changes in market interest rates. If interest rates rise, the aggregate value of the Underlying Securities, and therefore the Corporate Bond TRACERS Units, will decline. If interest rates decline, the value of the Payment Agreement will decline and may partially offset any corresponding increase in the value of the Underlying Securities. S-14 You may lose money if the If an Underlying Security is subject to Mandatory Trust is required to Liquidation at a time when market interest rates liquidate an Underlying have risen, the amount that you receive upon Security at a time when liquidation of the Underlying Security is likely market interest rates have to be less than the market value of the risen Underlying Security on the date of this prospectus supplement and may be less than the principal amount of the Underlying Security. Corporate Bond TRACERS Aggregate price movements in the Underlying Units are not necessarily Securities, and therefore in the Corporate Bond correlated with the bond TRACERS Units, may not be highly correlated with markets generally price movements in the bond market as a whole or in specific segments of the bond market or with the price movements of specific bond indices. If the aggregate value of the Underlying Securities declines, the Corporate Bond TRACERS Units will decline in value even if the bond market as a whole, or a specific segment or index, rises in value. In addition, if one or more Underlying Securities become subject to Mandatory Liquidation, your Corporate Bond TRACERS Units may come to represent a significantly more concentrated investment in a smaller number of the Underlying Securities, which may increase the price volatility of, and potentially decrease liquidity of, the Corporate Bond TRACERS Units. The ratings of the Corporate The expected ratings of the Corporate Bond Bond TRACERS Units may TRACERS Units are based on the initial portfolio change from time to time of Underlying Securities. These ratings may change if any Underlying Securities are removed from the portfolio upon their maturity or due to a redemption, repayment or Mandatory Liquidation, or if any Underlying Security becomes subject to a rating change. There can be no assurance that the ratings of the Corporate Bond TRACERS Units will remain the same for any given period of time or that the ratings will not be lowered or withdrawn entirely by Moody's or S&P if, in their judgment, circumstances in the future so warrant.

S-16 DESCRIPTION OF CORPORATE BOND TRACERS UNITS Each of the units issued by the CBT Series 2003-1 Units Trust (the "Corporate Bond TRACERS Units" or the "Units") represents an undivided interest in the CBT Series 2003-1 Units Trust (the "Trust"), a newly formed New York trust formed pursuant to a trust agreement (the "Trust Agreement") to be dated September 25, 2003 between MS Structured Asset Corp., as depositor (the "Depositor"), and LaSalle Bank National Association, as trustee (the "Trustee"). The property of the Trust initially consists of $1,000,000 principal amount of each of the 25 debt securities listed under "Underlying Securities" beginning on page S-10 of this prospectus supplement (the "Underlying Securities") and a Payment Agreement between the Trust and Morgan Stanley Capital Services Inc. ("MSCS"), as Payment Counterparty. Holders of Corporate Bond TRACERS Units will be entitled to receive all principal paid on the Underlying Securities and interest on the Corporate Bond TRACERS Units initially at the rate of 5.22% per year on the aggregate Unit Principal Balance of the Corporate Bond TRACERS Units. The amount that holders of the Corporate Bond TRACERS Units are entitled to receive on each Interest Payment Date will be the amount actually received by the Trust, and not previously distributed, from the Payment Counterparty pursuant to the Payment Agreement, less expenses as described under "--Expenses" below and, in certain circumstances, less any Reimbursement Payment owed by the Trust to the Payment Counterparty, as defined under "Description of Payment Agreement" below. Following any early redemption, repayment or Mandatory Liquidation (as defined below) of an Underlying Security, the interest payments on the Corporate Bond TRACERS Units will be reduced. In addition, following any Mandatory Liquidation of an Underlying Security, the Trust will owe a Reimbursement Payment to the Payment Counterparty. See "Description of Payment Agreement" below for a further description of the Payment Agreement and Reimbursement Payments. Holders of Corporate Bond TRACERS Units may obtain information concerning the relative fair market values of the Underlying Securities and the Payment Agreement on the date they purchased their Units by contacting their Morgan Stanley financial advisor. The Corporate Bond TRACERS Units will be registered in the name of The Depository Trust Company ("DTC") or its nominee. Your ownership of a beneficial interest in Corporate Bond TRACERS Units will be shown on, and any transfer of your Corporate Bond TRACERS Units will be effected through, the records of the direct or indirect DTC participant through which you hold your Corporate Bond TRACERS Units. Units................................. The CBT Series 2003-1 Units Trust will issue a single class of units, the Corporate Bond TRACERS Units. The aggregate Unit Principal Balance of Corporate Bond TRACERS Units being issued on the Original Issue Date is $25,000,000. Underlying Securities................. The Depositor will deposit into the Trust on the Original Issue Date $1,000,000 principal amount of each of the 25 Underlying Securities. The Depositor or one of its affiliates will purchase the Underlying Securities in the secondary market and deposit the Underlying Securities into the Trust in exchange for the issuance of the Corporate Bond TRACERS Units. The Trustee will accept the Underlying Securities and deliver the Corporate Bond TRACERS Units to or upon the order of the Depositor. For additional information about the Underlying Securities and the Security Issuers, see "Underlying Securities" beginning on page S-10 and "Description of Trust Property" below. Authorized Denominations.............. The Corporate Bond TRACERS Units will be issued, maintained and transferred on the book-entry records of DTC and its participants in denominations of one Unit and integral multiples thereof. S-17 Each Corporate Bond TRACERS Unit has an initial Unit Principal Balance of $1,000, subject to reduction as described under "--Unit Principal Balance" below. Unit Principal Balance................ The aggregate Unit Principal Balance of the Corporate Bond TRACERS Units issued on the Original Issue Date is initially $25,000,000, and the Unit Principal Balance of each Corporate Bond TRACERS Unit issued on the Original Issue Date is initially $1,000. The Unit Principal Balance will be reduced to the extent of distributions of principal on the Corporate Bond TRACERS Units and upon the initiation of any Mandatory Liquidation of an Underlying Security in the event of an underlying security default (as defined below) or upon any other Mandatory Liquidation, as determined by the Trustee. Following any unscheduled distribution of principal on the Units, a revised Schedule A setting forth the updated Unit Principal Balance will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") by the Trustee on Form 8-K and will be available from your Morgan Stanley financial advisor upon request and the Trustee will provide notice of the distribution to holders of the Corporate Bond TRACERS Units. Original Issue Date................... On or about September 25, 2003 Pricing Date.......................... September 9, 2003 CUSIP................................. 12496DAA5 Interest Payments and Principal Distributions on the Corporate Bond TRACERS Units.................... On each monthly Interest Payment Date, the Trust will pay to the holders of the Corporate Bond TRACERS Units interest in the amounts set forth on Schedule A hereto, which Schedule A may be revised from time to time upon any early redemption, repayment or Mandatory Liquidation of any Underlying Security. Interest on the Corporate Bond TRACERS Units will be paid initially at the rate of 5.22% per year on the aggregate Unit Principal Balance of the Corporate Bond TRACERS Units. The amount that holders of the Corporate Bond TRACERS Units are entitled to receive on each Interest Payment Date will be the amount actually received by the Trust, and not previously distributed, from the Payment Counterparty pursuant to the Payment Agreement, less expenses as described under "--Expenses" below and, in certain circumstances, less any Reimbursement Payment owed by the Trust to the Payment Counterparty, as described under "Description of Payment Agreement" below. If the Payment Agreement is terminated in full prior to the final Distribution Date, the amount that holders of the Corporate Bond TRACERS Units are entitled to receive on each Interest Payment Date will be their pro rata share of the amounts of interest actually received by the Trust, and not previously distributed, from the Security Issuers, less expenses as described under "--Expenses" below and, in certain circumstances, less any Reimbursement Payment owed by the Trust to the Payment Counterparty, as described under "Description of Payment Agreement" below. A S-18 revised Schedule A will be filed with the SEC by the Trustee on Form 8-K and will be available from your Morgan Stanley financial advisor upon request and the Trustee will provide notice of the termination to holders of the Corporate Bond TRACERS Units. Generally, the Trust will distribute principal amounts it receives from the Security Issuers to the holders of the Corporate Bond TRACERS Units in the amounts and on the dates set forth on Schedule A. However, the scheduled principal distribution date for an Underlying Security will vary if that Underlying Security is redeemed or repaid prior to its maturity or is subject to a Mandatory Liquidation. See "--Principal Distribution Dates" below. Holders of Corporate Bond TRACERS Units will be entitled to receive any payments of principal actually received by the Trust after the Cut-off Date on the Underlying Securities it holds. Payments of interest or principal will be made to owners of Corporate Bond TRACERS Units as of the applicable Record Date. See "--Record Date" below. Any tax, duty or other governmental charge that the Trustee is required to pay in connection with its services as trustee, including any tax required to be deducted or withheld from any payment to or by the Trust, shall be payable by the holders of the Corporate Bond TRACERS Units and shall be deducted from distributions to the holders. Any taxes withheld with respect to any Corporate Bond TRACERS Units shall reduce the distribution to the holder in respect of whom such withholding was required. If the Payment Counterparty fails to make a scheduled payment pursuant to the Payment Agreement or if a payment of principal on an Underlying Security is not made to the Trust, the amount on Schedule A corresponding to such interest or principal payment will not be paid to the holders of Corporate Bond TRACERS Units. Neither the Trustee nor the Depositor shall have any liability for any shortfall in any interest payment received from a Security Issuer or Underlying Distribution (as defined below) received from a Security Issuer or the Payment Counterparty or any obligation to advance its own funds to make any payment to any holder of Corporate Bond TRACERS Units. See the discussion of the Payment Agreement under "Description of Payment Agreement" below. Underlying Distributions.............. Any payments received by the Trust pursuant to the Payment Agreement or principal payments received by the Trust on the Underlying Securities it holds. Cut-off Date.......................... The Original Issue Date. Interest Payment Dates................ The Interest Payment Dates will be the 25th day of each month, beginning October 27, 2003; provided that if any such day is not a Business Day, the Interest Payment Date will be postponed to the following Business Day. S-19 Principal Distribution Dates.......... The Principal Distribution Dates with respect to Underlying Distributions of principal are the dates set forth on Schedule A, which are also Interest Payment Dates; provided that if the Trust does not receive the Underlying Distribution early enough on such Business Day to permit the Trustee to distribute the applicable payment to holders of Corporate Bond TRACERS Units on the same day, the Principal Distribution Date with respect to such Underlying Distribution will be the following Business Day. If the principal amount of an Underlying Security is redeemed or repaid in whole or in part prior to its maturity, the Principal Distribution Date for such Underlying Distribution of principal will be the subsequent Interest Payment Date. Distribution Date..................... Any Interest Payment Date or Principal Distribution Date. The final Distribution Date is expected to be July 25, 2013, which is the Interest Payment Date immediately succeeding the maturity date of the latest maturing Underlying Security. If such Underlying Security is subject to a Mandatory Liquidation or is repaid in full prior to the expected maturity date, the final Distribution Date could occur earlier. See "--Mandatory Liquidation of Underlying Securities" below. In the event of a default on any Underlying Security, the final Distribution Date on the Corporate Bond TRACERS Units could occur later than July 25, 2013, but will be no later than the fourth Business Day following the completion of any Mandatory Liquidation of the Underlying Security (and the amount paid on the Corporate Bond TRACERS Units may be less than the amount specified in Schedule A). See "--Mandatory Liquidation of Underlying Securities" below. See Schedule A to this prospectus supplement for a list of the anticipated Distribution Dates and interest and principal payments on the Corporate Bond TRACERS Units. Record Date........................... The Record Date with respect to any Distribution Date will be the Business Day immediately preceding such Distribution Date. The Record Date with respect to a Mandatory Liquidation will be the Business Day selected by the Administrative Agent and specified in the notice of Mandatory Liquidation delivered by the Trustee; provided that the Record Date so specified will be no earlier than the second Business Day following the date of such notice. Business Day.......................... Any day other than (i) a Saturday or Sunday or (ii) a day on which commercial banks in New York, New York or Chicago, Illinois are authorized or required by applicable law, regulation or executive order to close. Record Owner.......................... The Record Owner of a Corporate Bond TRACERS Unit on any day is the person in whose name the Corporate Bond TRACERS Unit is registered on the records of the Trustee at the close of business on such day. The Record Owner on any day is expected to be DTC or its nominee. A holder's beneficial interest in the Corporate Bond TRACERS Unit will be evidenced solely by entries on the books of the securities intermediary acting on the holder's behalf as a direct or S-20 indirect participant in DTC. In this prospectus supplement, all references to actions taken by the holders of Corporate Bond TRACERS Units or to be taken by holders of Corporate Bond TRACERS Units refer to actions taken or to be taken by DTC upon instructions from its participants acting on behalf of holders of Corporate Bond TRACERS Units, and all references to payments or notices to holders of Corporate Bond TRACERS Units will mean payments or notices to DTC, as the registered holder of the Corporate Bond TRACERS Units, for distribution to participants in accordance with DTC's procedures. For more information regarding DTC and book entry notes, see the section of the accompanying prospectus called "Description of Units--Form." Rating................................ The Corporate Bond TRACERS Units are expected to be assigned a rating of "A3" by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. ("Moody's") and "A-" by Standard & Poor's Ratings Services ("S&P"), subject to meeting the requirements of those rating agencies. The Corporate Bond TRACERS Units will not be issued unless they are assigned a rating of at least Baa3 by Moody's and at least BBB- by S&P. The ratings of the Corporate Bond TRACERS Units address the likelihood that holders of Corporate Bond TRACERS Units will receive the payments required under the Trust Agreement and are based primarily on the credit quality and relative volatility of the Underlying Securities. The ratings of the Corporate Bond TRACERS Units do not, however, constitute a statement regarding the occurrence or frequency of redemptions or repayments on, or extensions of the maturity of, the Underlying Securities, the corresponding effect on yield to investors or whether investors in the Corporate Bond TRACERS Units may fail to recover fully their initial investment. A rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities and may be subject to revision or withdrawal at any time by the assigning rating agency. Each security rating should be evaluated independently of any other security rating. The Depositor has not requested a rating on the Corporate Bond TRACERS Units by any rating agency other than the rating agencies identified above. There can be no assurance as to whether any other rating agency will rate the Corporate Bond TRACERS Units, or, if it does, what rating would be assigned by any such other rating agency. A rating on the Corporate Bond TRACERS Units by another rating agency, if assigned at all, may be lower than the ratings assigned to the Corporate Bond TRACERS Units by the rating agencies identified above. Any ratings assigned to the Corporate Bond TRACERS Units will be based on the initial portfolio of Underlying Securities. These ratings may change if any Underlying Securities are removed from the portfolio upon their maturity or due to a redemption, repayment or Mandatory Liquidation, or if any Underlying Security becomes subject to a rating change. Moody's has informed the Depositor that Moody's rating of the Units only addresses the ultimate receipt of interest and principal on the Underlying Securities in the Trust in accordance with the S-21 governing documentation, and is substantially based on the average credit quality of such Underlying Securities. Moody's rating of the Units will reflect the composition of the Trust's pool of remaining Underlying Securities following any removal from the Trust of Underlying Securities pursuant to the governing documentation, and accordingly, the rating of the Units can be expected to change with the credit quality of such remaining Underlying Securities. The rating of the Units does not address losses that an investor may experience if Underlying Securities are sold by the Trust prior to their maturity. Any future ratings assigned following the removal of an Underlying Security will address the ultimate receipt of interest and principal on the prevailing outstanding principal amount and coupons thereof. S&P has informed the Depositor that S&P's rating only addresses the timely receipt of interest and principal on the Corporate Bond TRACERS Units. This assessment considers the credit quality of the Underlying Securities. The rating does not address market price losses that might occur if an Underlying Security is liquidated as the result of the occurrence of a Mandatory Liquidation prior to the final Principal Distribution Date. S&P's rating assumes that the investor will hold the Corporate Bond TRACERS Units until the final maturity of the Corporate Bond TRACERS Units. The rating considers the cash flow generated by the Underlying Securities. S&P's rating may change due to changes in the portfolio that occur when an Underlying Security is the subject of a Mandatory Liquidation, is repaid in full or has matured. Additionally, S&P's rating is not a recommendation to purchase, sell or hold any Underlying Security or the Corporate Bond TRACERS Units, inasmuch as they do not comment as to market price, yield or suitability for a particular investor. The rating is based on current information furnished to S&P by the Trust or obtained by S&P from other sources it considers reliable. S&P does not perform an audit in connection with any rating and may, on occasion, rely on unaudited financial information. The ratings may be changed, suspended or withdrawn as a result of changes in, or unavailability of, such information, or based on other circumstances. Mandatory Liquidation of Underlying Securities............................ The Trustee will be required to cause the sale of an Underlying Security and deliver the proceeds of such sale (less any Liquidation Costs (as defined below) and any applicable Reimbursement Payment) to the holders of Corporate Bond TRACERS Units (a "Mandatory Liquidation") upon its actual knowledge of the occurrence of either of the following events: (i) an "underlying security default" (as defined under "Description of Trust Agreements--Trust wind-up events, liquidation events and disqualification events--Liquidation events" in the accompanying prospectus) occurs with respect to the Underlying Security; or (ii) the Underlying Security becomes a "disqualified underlying security" (as defined under "Description of Trust S-22 Agreements--Trust wind-up events, liquidation events and disqualification events-- Disqualification events" in the accompanying prospectus). In the event of a Mandatory Liquidation of an Underlying Security, the payments from the Payment Counterparty to the Trust, and from the Trust to the holders of the Corporate Bond TRACERS Units, beginning at the start of the monthly interest payment period in which such Mandatory Liquidation occurs, will be reduced by the amount attributable to that Underlying Security. In addition, the Trustee will be required to cause the sale of the Underlying Securities and to deliver the proceeds of such sale (less any Liquidation Costs and any applicable Reimbursement Payment) to the holders of the Corporate Bond TRACERS Units if a Trust Wind-Up Event (as defined under "--Trust Wind-Up Events"), other than a Trust Wind-Up Event caused by a redemption of all of the Underlying Securities, occurs. Upon a Mandatory Liquidation of an Underlying Security, the Trustee will deliver notice to each holder of Corporate Bond TRACERS Units of the initiation of the Mandatory Liquidation of the Underlying Security as of the date of the event, set forth the date of such event and, to the extent received from the Administrative Agent, specify the Record Date for the Mandatory Liquidation. For a Mandatory Liquidation of an Underlying Security that becomes a disqualified underlying security, the Administrative Agent will use reasonable efforts to liquidate as promptly as practicable the relevant Underlying Securities on behalf of the holders, and the Trustee shall pay the proceeds of such liquidation, less any Liquidation Costs and any applicable Reimbursement Payment, to the holders on the Interest Payment Date immediately following its receipt of such liquidation proceeds. For a Mandatory Liquidation of an Underlying Security resulting from an underlying security default, after waiting 45 days from the date of such default, (regardless of whether the default is continuing at such time) the Administrative Agent will use reasonable efforts to liquidate the relevant Underlying Securities on behalf of the holders, and the Trustee shall pay the proceeds of such liquidation, less any Liquidation Costs and any applicable Reimbursement Payment, to the holders on the immediately following Interest Payment Date. "Liquidation Costs" will include any customary expenses of liquidation incurred by the Administrative Agent and the Trustee, and, if the Payment Agreement is terminated in full prior to the final Distribution Date, "Liquidation Costs" will include any amount due for trust expenses that would otherwise have been taken from any payment of accrued interest as described under "--Expenses" below. Trust Wind-Up Events.................. The following Trust Wind-Up Events supercede and replace those described under "Description of Trust Agreements--Trust wind-up events, liquidation events and disqualification events" in the accompanying prospectus. A Trust Wind-Up Event will occur if any of the following events occurs: S-23 (i) all of the Underlying Securities then held by the Trust are redeemed; (ii) all of the Underlying Securities then held by the Trust are subject to Mandatory Liquidation pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) under "--Mandatory Liquidation of Underlying Securities" above; (iii) any Excess Expense Event (as defined under "--Extraordinary Trust Expenses") occurs; (iv) designation by the Trustee of a "Tax Wind-Up Event" under the Trust Agreement; or (v) the Trust ceases to satisfy the requirements of the exemption provided under Rule 3a-7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 ("Rule 3a-7"). If a Trust Wind-Up Event occurs, the Trust will terminate, and, if the Trust Wind-Up Event is a result of the events described in clauses (iii), (iv) or (v), the Trustee will deliver notice to each holder of Corporate Bond TRACERS Units of the occurrence of a Trust Wind-Up Event and set forth the date of the Trust Wind-Up Event. Such notice will state that holders should surrender their Corporate Bond TRACERS Units to the Trustee or give, to the Trustee's reasonable satisfaction, appropriate indemnity or security in exchange for cash payment of the liquidated proceeds of the Trust. Such notice shall also specify the cause of the Trust Wind-Up Event and the location and hours of the office or agency of the Trustee at which Corporate Bond TRACERS Units should be presented and surrendered. The Administrative Agent will use reasonable efforts to liquidate as promptly as practicable all of the Underlying Securities held by the Trust on behalf of the holders in the case of a Trust Wind-Up Event resulting from an event described under clauses (iii), (iv) and (v) above. The Trustee shall pay the proceeds of such liquidation together with any cash amounts held by the Trust (less Liquidation Costs, any applicable Reimbursement Payment and any other amounts due to the Trustee or the Administrative Agent) to holders of Corporate Bond TRACERS Units on a pro rata basis promptly but no later than the fourth Business Day following the completion of liquidation upon the Trustee's receipt of such holders' Corporate Bond TRACERS Units or appropriate and satisfactory indemnity or security. If the Trust must sell Underlying Securities upon a Mandatory Liquidation or a Trust Wind-Up Event, the Administrative Agent will solicit bids for the affected Underlying Securities held by the Trust from at least three registered broker-dealers of national reputation, one of which may be the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent will, on behalf of the Trust, sell the Underlying Securities at the highest bid price received. If the Administrative Agent did not put forward such highest bid, it may purchase the Underlying Securities at such highest bid rather than selling the Underlying Securities to the highest bidder. S-24 A "Tax Wind-Up Event" will occur with respect to the Trust if the Trustee has obtained an opinion of nationally recognized independent tax counsel experienced in such matters to the effect that there is more than an insubstantial risk that at such time, or within 90 days of the date thereof, the Trust is, or would be, subject to more than a de minimis amount of taxes, duties or other governmental charges. Voting................................ Holders of Corporate Bond TRACERS Units will have the right to exercise any voting rights with respect to the Underlying Securities, subject to the limitations described in the section of the accompanying prospectus called "Description of Units--Voting of securities, modification of underlying security issuance agreements." The Trustee will mail any documents (including proxy statements, annual reports and signed proxies) relating to the exercise of such voting rights to DTC, as Record Owner of the Corporate Bond TRACERS Units, and DTC will deliver such documents to holders of Corporate Bond TRACERS Units in accordance with its customary procedures. Notices............................... The Trustee will promptly transmit to DTC, as Record Owner of the Corporate Bond TRACERS Units, any notice with respect to a Corporate Bond TRACERS Unit or any notice with respect to an Underlying Security (including any notice of redemption or of a meeting or of any other occasion for the exercise of voting rights by holders of Underlying Securities) received by the Trustee in its capacity as holder of the Underlying Securities. DTC will deliver such documents to holders of Corporate Bond TRACERS Units in accordance with the standard rules and procedures of DTC and its direct and indirect participants. See also "Description of Trust Agreements-- Notices" in the accompanying prospectus. Expenses.............................. The Trustee will retain an amount of each Underlying Distribution received from the Payment Counterparty equal to 0.063% per annum of the then current principal amount of the Underlying Securities (computed on a 30/360 day count basis), in order to pay the expenses of the Trust and will deposit such amounts in an "Expense Account." The Trustee will be responsible for paying the Trustee Fees and the Administrative Agent Fees (each as defined below) on behalf of the Trust and paying certain other expenses of the Trust, including rating agency and listing fees. In addition, the Trust will invest any Underlying Distributions of principal it receives between Interest Payment Dates in "Eligible Assets," as such term is defined in Rule 3a-7, that are Permitted Investments, as such term is defined in the Trust Agreement for the Units, and that mature prior to the succeeding Interest Payment Date. The Trust will deliver such Underlying Distributions of principal to holders on the subsequent Interest Payment Date but will retain any income the Trust earns on those investments and deposit such income in the Expense Account. The Trust shall not be responsible or liable for any losses on such investments. Any of such income not used to pay for the expenses of the Trust will be distributed quarterly to the Depositor as described below. In the event that the Payment Agreement is terminated in full prior to the final Distribution Date, the Trustee will retain, for expenses, a S-25 portion of each interest payment it receives from each Security Issuer and a portion of the accrued and unpaid interest received upon a Mandatory Liquidation of an Underlying Security. The amount retained for expenses at the time of a distribution of interest will be equal to the aggregate amount of such distribution multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is 0.063% and the denominator of which is the per annum interest rate applicable to that Underlying Security for the relevant accrual period. The amount retained for expenses at the time of a Mandatory Liquidation will be equal to the accrued but unpaid interest on the Underlying Security as of the date of the Mandatory Liquidation multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is 0.063% and the denominator of which is the per annum interest rate applicable to that Underlying Security for the relevant accrual period. As compensation for and in payment of trust expenses related to its services under the Trust Agreement (other than Extraordinary Trust Expenses), the Trustee will receive an annual trustee fee in an amount equal to $5,000.00 ("Trustee Fees"). To the extent that the amount retained by the Trust is not sufficient to cover the Trust's expenses, the Depositor shall be responsible for such shortfall. If any amount remains in the Expense Account upon payment of the Trust's expenses, such amount shall be distributed to the Depositor on the 25th day of each March, June, September and December, or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day, commencing December 26, 2003. Extraordinary Trust Expenses.......... The Depositor will indemnify the Trustee for "extraordinary trust expenses" (as defined under "Description of Trust Agreements--Trustee compensation" in the accompanying prospectus) incurred by the Trustee up to the Maximum Reimbursable Amount in the aggregate. If the Trustee incurs Extraordinary Trust Expenses that in the aggregate exceed the Trigger Amount, an "Excess Expense Event" will occur unless the Depositor, in its sole discretion, agrees to increase the Maximum Reimbursable Amount. If, after the Depositor has increased the Maximum Reimbursable Amount, Extraordinary Trust Expenses reach the then-applicable Trigger Amount, an "Excess Expense Event" will again occur unless the Depositor, in its sole discretion, further increases the Maximum Reimbursable Amount. See "--Trust Wind-Up Events." Maximum Reimbursable Amount........... Initially $100,000, and thereafter any higher amount specified by the Depositor in writing to the Trustee; provided that any increase in the Maximum Reimbursable Amount shall result in a Maximum Reimbursable Amount at least $25,000 higher than the amount of all Extraordinary Trust Expenses incurred to the date of such increase. The Depositor is under no obligation to increase the Maximum Reimbursable Amount. For purposes of making your decision to invest in the Corporate Bond TRACERS Units, you should assume that the Maximum Reimbursable Amount will not be raised and that there will be a Trust Wind-Up Event if Extraordinary Trust Expenses exceed $25,000. See "Risk Factors--You may lose money if the Trust is required to liquidate an Underlying Security at a time when market interest rates have risen." S-26 Trigger Amount........................ The Maximum Reimbursable Amount minus $75,000. Underwriter........................... Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated ("MS & Co."). Administrative Agent.................. MS & Co., acting pursuant to an Administration Agreement with the Trustee. S-27 DESCRIPTION OF TRUST PROPERTY The property of the Trust created under the Trust Agreement (the "Trust Property") will initially consist of $1,000,000 principal amount of each of the 25 Underlying Securities and a Payment Agreement between the Trust and MSCS, as Payment Counterparty (as described under "Description of Payment Agreement" below). An Underlying Security will no longer constitute part of the Trust Property to the extent that the Underlying Security is subject to Mandatory Liquidation, is redeemed or repaid in full or has matured. The Corporate Bond TRACERS Units will represent fractional undivided interests in the Trust Property. Security Issuers. The issuer of each Underlying Security is an "eligible underlying security issuer" (as defined under "Description of Trust Property" in the accompanying prospectus) as of the Original Issue Date. For the purposes of determining whether the issuer of an Underlying Security is an "eligible underlying security issuer," a guarantor of the Underlying Security may be treated as the issuer. Each Security Issuer (or guarantor, as the case may be) is subject to the informational requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and is required, in accordance therewith, to file periodically certain financial and other information specified by the SEC. A registration statement has been filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), for each Underlying Security. Information provided to or filed with the SEC can be inspected and copied at the public reference facilities maintained by the SEC at Room 1024, 450 Fifth Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20549, and copies of such material can be obtained from the Public Reference Section of the SEC, 450 Fifth Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20549, at prescribed rates. In addition, information provided to or filed with the SEC electronically can be accessed through a website maintained by the SEC. The address of the SEC's website is http://www.sec.gov. Information provided to or filed with the SEC by each of the Security Issuers pursuant to the Exchange Act can be located by reference to the SEC file number indicated in Table 1 below. Table 1 also includes a brief description of each Security Issuer's business. Information regarding each of the Underlying Securities can be found in the registration statement filed by the applicable Security Issuer under the registration statement number indicated in Table 1 below. In addition, information regarding those and other Security Issuers may be obtained from other sources including, but not limited to, press releases, newspaper articles and other publicly disseminated documents. Neither the Depositor nor the Trustee makes any representation or warranty as to the accuracy or completeness of such information. This prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus relate only to the Corporate Bond TRACERS Units offered hereby and do not relate to the Security Issuers, the Underlying Securities or other securities of the Security Issuers. We have derived the disclosure contained in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus regarding the Security Issuers and the Underlying Securities from the publicly available documents and sources described in the preceding paragraph. In connection with the offering of the Corporate Bond TRACERS Units, none of the Depositor, the Trustee or MS & Co. has made any due diligence inquiry with respect to the Security Issuers or the Underlying Securities. None of the Depositor, the Trustee or MS & Co. makes any representation that such publicly available documents are, or any other publicly available information regarding the Security Issuers or the Underlying Securities is, accurate or complete. Furthermore, we cannot give any assurance that all events occurring prior to the date hereof (including events that would affect the accuracy or completeness of the publicly available documents described in the preceding paragraph) that would affect the market values or the ratings of the Underlying Securities have been publicly disclosed. Subsequent disclosure of any such events or the disclosure of or failure to disclose material future events concerning the Security Issuers or the Underlying Securities could affect the ratings of the Underlying Securities and the amounts received on any Distribution Date with respect to the Corporate Bond TRACERS Units and therefore the trading prices of the Corporate Bond TRACERS Units. None of the Depositor, the Trustee or MS & Co. nor any of their respective affiliates makes any representation to you as to the performance of the Underlying Securities. The Depositor, MS & Co. or their affiliates may presently or from time to time engage in business with the Security Issuers, including extending loans to, entering into loans with, or making equity investments in, the Security Issuers or providing advisory services to the Security Issuers, including merger and acquisition advisory services. In the course of such business, the Depositor, MS & Co. and/or their affiliates may acquire non-public information with respect to S-28 the Security Issuers. None of the Depositor, MS & Co. or any of their affiliates undertakes to disclose any such information to you. In addition, the Depositor, MS & Co. or one or more of their affiliates may publish research reports with respect to the Security Issuers. These research reports may or may not recommend that investors buy or hold any securities of the Security Issuers. The Underlying Securities included in the Corporate Bond TRACERS Unit will remain the same without regard to any change that Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated or its affiliates may make in their recommendations or decisions to begin or discontinue coverage of any of the Security Issuers in their research reports. As a prospective purchaser of a Corporate Bond TRACERS Unit, you should undertake an independent investigation of the Security Issuers and the terms of the Underlying Securities as in your judgment is appropriate to make an informed decision with respect to an investment in the Underlying Securities.

The Securities Pool. The Underlying Securities consist of debt securities issued by 25 domestic corporate issuers. See "Underlying Securities" beginning on page S-10 of this prospectus supplement for information about the Underlying Securities as of the Pricing Date. The Underlying Securities were purchased by the Depositor in the secondary market (either directly or through an affiliate of the Depositor) and will be deposited into the Trust. The Underlying Securities were not acquired from the obligors on the Underlying Securities or pursuant to any distribution by or agreement with such obligors. The composition of the pool of Underlying Securities and the distribution by industry, remaining term to maturity, interest rate and ratings of the Underlying Securities as of the Pricing Date are as set forth in Tables 2 through 6 below: Table 2.

As of the Pricing Date, 100% of the Underlying Securities and/or other classes of indebtedness of the Security Issuers were rated investment grade by at least one nationally recognized rating agency, and no obligor of any Underlying Security was in default in the payment of any installments of principal, interest or premium (if any) on the Underlying Security. Any such rating of any of the Underlying Securities is not a recommendation to purchase, hold or sell such Underlying Security or the Corporate Bond TRACERS Units, and it is possible that a rating will not remain for any given period of time or that a rating will be lowered or withdrawn entirely by a rating agency if in its judgment circumstances in the future so warrant. See "Description of Corporate Bond TRACERS Units--Ratings" in this prospectus supplement regarding certain considerations applicable to the ratings of the Corporate Bond TRACERS Units. Security Agreements. Each indenture or other agreement under which the Underlying Securities were issued (each, a "Security Agreement") limits the respective Security Issuer's ability to engage in certain activities and transactions and requires that the Security Issuer perform certain obligations with respect to the Underlying Securities. Each Security Agreement provides that the relevant Security Issuer, and in some cases, guarantors under the Security Agreement or certain subsidiaries of the Security Issuer, may not consolidate, merge, or transfer or lease assets, unless specified conditions are satisfied. Examples of such conditions are that: o the Security Issuer or other entity is the surviving corporation; o the successor corporation assumes all applicable obligations under the Underlying Securities and the relevant Security Agreement; o immediately after the effectiveness of the consolidation or other transaction, the surviving or successor corporation is not in default under the Security Agreement; o the successor corporation is a domestic corporation; S-34 o if, as the result of the consolidation or other transaction, assets of the Security Issuer become subject to a lien, the Underlying Securities are secured equally and ratably, or if required, given priority; o the Security Issuer delivers an opinion of counsel or an IRS ruling to the effect that the holders of the Underlying Securities will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of the consolidation or other transaction and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amount, in the same manner and at the same time as if the consolidation or other transaction had not occurred; and o in the case of a consolidation or other transaction involving a subsidiary, the Security Issuer retains ownership of a specified percentage of the voting power of the successor subsidiary corporation. Most of the Security Agreements restrict in some manner the ability of the relevant Security Issuer, and in some cases, the guarantor under the Security Agreements or certain subsidiaries, to incur or suffer to exist any lien, charge, or encumbrance upon some or any of their property or assets, or incur, assume, guarantee or suffer to exist any indebtedness for borrowed money if the payment of such indebtedness is secured by grant of such a lien, unless the Underlying Securities are secured equally and ratably with such indebtedness. Exceptions to this type of restriction include: o liens, charges or encumbrances that are specifically permitted by the terms of the Security Agreement; o liens, charges or encumbrances that secure not more than a specified amount of indebtedness; and o a decision by the Board of Directors of a Security Issuer that the liens do not materially detract from or interfere with the value or control of the property serving as security. Some of the Security Agreements also restrict the ability of the Security Issuer to engage in sale and leaseback transactions, which are transactions whereby a Security Issuer leases property that it has sold. Conversely, some of the Security Agreements do not place any restrictions on the Security Issuer's ability to incur, or incur indebtedness secured by, liens, charges or encumbrances or engage in sale and leaseback transactions. Other covenants include restrictions on the Security Issuer's ability to sell or issue, or permit subsidiaries to sell or issue, shares of specified subsidiaries. The following is a summary of typical/significant events of default under the Security Agreements: o failure to make payments of principal (and premium, if any) and interest to holders of the Underlying Securities in specified time periods; o breach of specified representations or warranties, or failure to observe or perform any covenant or agreement under the Security Agreements for a specified period of time after notice is given to the Security Issuer by the trustee or the holders of not less than a specified percentage of the Underlying Securities; and o specified events of bankruptcy or insolvency relating to the Security Issuer and, in some cases, guarantors under the Security Agreement or certain subsidiaries. Other events of default contained within some of the Security Agreements include: o failure by the Security Issuer to make any required payment of principal (and premium, if any) or interest with respect to specified other debt obligations of the Security Issuer or the acceleration by or on behalf of the holders of those obligations; and o the entry of a final judgment requiring payment of money in excess of an amount specified in the Security Agreement against the Security Issuer or certain subsidiaries that is not discharged within a specified time period. S-35 As of the Pricing Date, approximately 44% of the Underlying Securities were subject to redemption options pursuant to which the Security Issuers may redeem the Underlying Securities at any time upon compliance with certain notice provisions. All of the Underlying Securities containing such a redemption option constitute senior, unsecured indebtedness. Overall, 88% of the Underlying Securities are senior obligations of the Security Issuers and 100% of the Underlying Securities are unsecured. With respect to the subordinated Underlying Securities, the Security Agreements generally provide that the Security Issuer cannot make payments on the subordinated debt if it is in default on its senior debt, that upon the bankruptcy or insolvency of the Security Issuer, holders of subordinated debt cannot receive payments until senior debt holders are paid in full and that the subordinated debt holders' acceleration rights are limited to specified events of bankruptcy or insolvency. Each of the Underlying Securities was registered under the Securities Act. DESCRIPTION OF TRUST AGREEMENT The following summarizes the material terms of the Trust Agreement to the extent that they are not described in the accompanying prospectus. A Current Report on Form 8-K relating to the Corporate Bond TRACERS Units containing a copy of the Trust Agreement as executed will be filed by the Depositor with the SEC following the issuance and sale of the Corporate Bond TRACERS Units. Reference is made to the accompanying prospectus for important information in addition to that set forth herein regarding the Trust, the terms and conditions of the Trust Agreement and the Corporate Bond TRACERS Units. Under the rules, regulations and procedures creating and affecting DTC and its operations, DTC will take action permitted to be taken by a holder of Corporate Bond TRACERS Units under the Trust Agreement only at the direction of one or more DTC participants to whose account the corresponding Units are credited. Additionally, DTC will take actions with respect to specified voting rights only at the direction and on behalf of DTC participants whose holdings of those Units evidence those voting rights. DTC may take conflicting actions with respect to voting rights, to the extent that DTC participants whose holdings of Units evidence those voting rights authorize divergent action. See the section of the accompanying prospectus called "Description of Units--Form." Retained Interest. The Depositor retains the right to receive any and all interest that accrues on the Underlying Securities prior to the Cut-off Date. The Depositor will receive such accrued interest with respect to each Underlying Security on the date such interest is received by the Trust from the relevant Security Issuer. If an underlying security default occurs with respect to an Underlying Security on or prior to the first interest payment date with respect to that Underlying Security and the Depositor does not receive such retained interest amount, the Depositor will have a claim for such retained interest, and will be paid pari passu with any payments owed to holders of the Corporate Bond TRACERS Units after the Cut-off Date from any proceeds recovered on the Underlying Security. Modification and Waiver of Trust Agreement. In order to modify or amend the Trust Agreement to modify the rights of holders of Corporate Bond TRACERS Units or to add, change or eliminate any provision of the Trust Agreement, the consent of holders of at least 662/3% in Unit Principal Balance of the outstanding Corporate Bond TRACERS Units materially adversely affected by the proposed change is required. See "Description of Trust Agreements--Modification and waiver" in the accompanying prospectus. No modification or amendment may (i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or alter the timing or currency of, distributions or payments required to be made on any Corporate Bond TRACERS Unit without the consent of the holder of any Corporate Bond TRACERS Unit affected or (ii) reduce the voting percentage required to consent to any amendment without the consent of the holders of all of the outstanding Corporate Bond TRACERS Units. In order to waive compliance by the Depositor or the Trustee with any restrictive provision of the Trust Agreement or waive any past default under the Trust Agreement (other than a default resulting from any failure to distribute amounts received as Underlying Distributions or a default in respect of any covenant or provision the modification or amendment of which would require consent of the holders of all of the outstanding Corporate Bond TRACERS Units), the consent of holders of at least 662/3% in Unit Principal Balance of the outstanding Corporate Bond TRACERS Units is required. See "Description of Trust Agreements--Modification and waiver" in the accompanying prospectus. S-36 DESCRIPTION OF PAYMENT AGREEMENT The Trust will enter into a payment agreement with MSCS, as "Payment Counterparty," in the form of a 1992 ISDA Master Agreement (the "Payment Agreement"). The Payment Agreement is a swap agreement (as described under "Description of Trust Property--Swap agreements" in the accompanying prospectus. The Payment Agreement will document interest rate transactions with respect to each of the 25 Underlying Securities between the Trust and the Payment Counterparty under which the Trust will pay to the Payment Counterparty the interest payments received in respect of each Underlying Security (less any retained interest by the Depositor) and receive from the Payment Counterparty fixed rate payments, subject to reduction upon any early redemption, repayment or Mandatory Liquidation of any Underlying Security. The Payment Agreement will have the effect, subject to the performance by the Payment Counterparty of its obligations under the Payment Agreement, of converting the interest payable semi-annually or otherwise on the Underlying Securities into the monthly interest payments which the Trust will distribute to holders with respect to the Corporate Bond TRACERS Units. The principal economic terms of the Payment Agreement (as described below) will be set forth in one or more confirmations under the 1992 ISDA Master Agreement (the "Confirmations") to be dated as of September 25, 2003. A Current Report on Form 8-K relating to the Corporate Bond TRACERS Units containing a copy of the Confirmations as executed will be filed by the Depositor with the SEC following the issuance and sale of the Corporate Bond TRACERS Units. Each interest rate transaction evidenced in the Payment Agreement is subject (i) to a reduction in notional principal amount in the event of any early redemption or repayment of less than the full principal amount of an Underlying Security (a "Partial Early Repayment") and (ii) termination in the event of any early redemption or repayment of the entire principal amount of the related Underlying Security (an "Early Repayment") or upon a Mandatory Liquidation of the related Underlying Security. Payments. Pursuant to the terms of the Payment Agreement, the Trust will pay to the Payment Counterparty all amounts received by the Trust, other than amounts attributable to the payment or repayment of principal and amounts constituting retained interest of the Depositor, with respect to each Underlying Security on the Business Day on which the Trustee receives such payment as holder of that Underlying Security, unless the Trustee does not receive the payment early enough on such Business Day to permit the Trustee to deliver the payment to the Payment Counterparty on the same day, in which case the payment shall be delivered on the following Business Day. The Payment Counterparty will pay to the Trust monthly payments as provided in the Payment Agreement, subject to adjustment as described below, on the corresponding Interest Payment Dates. The Trust will distribute to holders on the corresponding Interest Payment Dates the amounts set forth on Schedule A to this prospectus supplement, which are equal to the corresponding scheduled payments the Trust receives from the Payment Counterparty less amounts retained by the Trust to pay the expenses of the Trust, and are subject to adjustment as described below. See "Description of Corporate Bond TRACERS Units--Interest Payment Dates" and "--Expenses" above, and the column called "Scheduled Trust Payments of Interest" in Schedule A to this prospectus supplement. The Trust will distribute to holders the proceeds it receives attributable to any principal payment or repayment (but not any "make-whole" amount) from any Partial Early Repayment, Early Repayment or Mandatory Liquidation of an Underlying Security (minus any Reimbursement Payment, as described below) on the first Interest Payment Date following receipt thereof. See "Description of Corporate Bond TRACERS Units--Principal Distribution Dates" and "--Mandatory Liquidation of Underlying Securities." If the Payment Counterparty defaults under the Payment Agreement, all amounts owed to the Trust under the Payment Agreement will be paid from any interest or principal received on the Underlying Securities prior to amounts owed to the Payment Counterparty. Payments upon the Mandatory Liquidation of an Underlying Security. Following the Mandatory Liquidation of an Underlying Security, the Payment Counterparty will be entitled to receive a "Reimbursement Payment" from the Trust equal to the accrued but unpaid interest, if any, on such Underlying Security from and excluding the last date on which the full amount of interest due on the Underlying Security was actually paid by the Security Issuer to the Trust to and including the immediately preceding Interest Payment Date for the Corporate Bond TRACERS Units. The Trust S-37 will pay the Reimbursement Payment to the Payment Counterparty from the portion of the proceeds of the Mandatory Liquidation representing accrued but unpaid interest on the Underlying Security, as determined by the Payment Counterparty, prior to any payments to holders of the Corporate Bond TRACERS Units from such portion of the proceeds. Payments upon Specified Trust Wind-Up Events or Early Termination of the Payment Agreement. The entire Payment Agreement is subject to early termination if there is (a) a Trust Wind-Up Event resulting from (i) the occurrence of an "Excess Expense Event," (ii) the designation of a "Tax Wind-Up Event" under the Trust Agreement or (iii) a failure of the Trust to satisfy the requirements of Rule 3a-7 (each, a "Specified Trust Wind-Up Event"), or (b) if the Payment Counterparty designates an "Early Termination Date" under the Payment Agreement following an "Illegality," "Tax Event," "Merger without Assumption," "Failure to Make a Payment" or "Bankruptcy." If the Payment Agreement is terminated due to a Specified Trust Wind-Up Event, the Payment Counterparty may be entitled to receive a Reimbursement Payment with respect to each Underlying Security then held in the Trust. The Reimbursement Payments will be calculated and paid as described above under "--Payments upon the Mandatory Liquidation of an Underlying Security" and determined at the time of such Trust Wind-Up Event. If the Payment Agreement is terminated due to the designation of an "Early Termination Date" by the Payment Counterparty, the Trust will pay a Reimbursement Payment to the Payment Counterparty over time from the interest payments the Trust receives on the Underlying Security from the Security Issuer prior to any payments to holders of the Corporate Bond TRACERS Units from such interest payments; provided that in the event an Early Repayment or Mandatory Liquidation occurs prior to payment in full of such Reimbursement Payment, the Reimbursement Payment shall be paid to the Payment Counterparty from the portion of the proceeds of the Early Repayment or Mandatory Liquidation representing accrued but unpaid interest on the Underlying Security prior to any payments to holders of the Corporate Bond TRACERS Units from such portion of the proceeds. Limited Guarantee of Morgan Stanley Morgan Stanley will guarantee the amounts payable by MSCS, or any affiliate who succeeds as Payment Counterparty, under the Payment Agreement. If MSCS assigns its obligations to any non-affiliate who becomes the Payment Counterparty, which can only occur if the rating agencies accept the assignment of the Payment Agreement, Morgan Stanley will not guarantee the obligations of the non-affiliate Payment Counterparty. SETTLEMENT AND CLEARING The Corporate Bond TRACERS Units will be issued in the form of one or more fully registered Global Securities that will be deposited with, or on behalf of, DTC and registered in the name of Cede & Co., DTC's nominee. Beneficial interests in the Global Securities will be represented through book-entry accounts of financial institutions acting on behalf of beneficial owners as direct and indirect participants in DTC ("Participants"). Because holders will acquire, hold and transfer security entitlements with respect to the Corporate Bond TRACERS Units through accounts with DTC and its Participants, a beneficial holder's rights with respect to the Corporate Bond TRACERS Units will be subject to the laws (including Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code) and contractual provisions governing a holder's relationship with its securities intermediary and the relationship between its securities intermediary and each other securities intermediary between it and the Security Issuer. Unless and until it is exchanged in whole for securities in definitive registered form under the limited circumstances described in the accompanying prospectus, a Global Security cannot be transferred except as a whole by and among DTC, its nominees and any successors of DTC or those nominees. Each person owning a beneficial interest in the Corporate Bond TRACERS Units must rely on the procedures of DTC and the participant through which such person owns its interest to exercise its rights as a holder of Corporate Bond TRACERS Units. We understand that under existing industry practices, if any action is required of or permitted of holders of Corporate Bond TRACERS Units, DTC would authorize the Participants holding the relevant beneficial interests to give or take that action, and those Participants would authorize the beneficial owners owning through them to give or take that action or would otherwise act upon the instructions of beneficial owners holding through them. S-38 Payments and other distributions with respect to Corporate Bond TRACERS Units will be made to DTC or its nominee as the registered owner of the Corporate Bond TRACERS Units. Neither the Depositor nor the Trustee will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests in the Corporate Bond TRACERS Units or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to those beneficial ownership interests. We expect that DTC, upon receipt of any payments or other distributions to holders of Corporate Bond TRACERS Units, will immediately credit Participants' accounts in amounts proportionate to their respective beneficial interests in the Corporate Bond TRACERS Units as shown on its records. We also expect that payments by Participants to owners of beneficial interests in Corporate Bond TRACERS Units held through Participants will be governed by standing customer instructions and customary practices, as is now the case with the securities held for the accounts of customers in bearer form or registered in "street name," and will be the responsibility of those Participants. If DTC is at any time unwilling or unable to continue as depositary or ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act and a successor depositary registered as a clearing agency under the Exchange Act is not appointed by the Depositor within 90 days, the Trustee will issue Corporate Bond TRACERS Units in definitive form in exchange for the Global Securities that had been held by DTC. Any Corporate Bond TRACERS Units issued in definitive form in exchange for a Global Security will be registered in the name or names as DTC instructs the Trustee. It is expected that DTC's instructions will be based upon directions received by DTC from Participants with respect to ownership of beneficial interests in the Global Securities that had been held by DTC. Subject to the preceding paragraph, the Trustee will recognize DTC or its nominee as the Record Owner of the Corporate Bond TRACERS Units for all purposes, including notices and voting. Conveyance of notices and other communications by or to DTC to or from Participants and by or to Participants to or from beneficial owners of Corporate Bond TRACERS Units will be governed by arrangements among them, subject to any statutory and regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. For further information about DTC and the settlement and clearing of the Corporate Bond TRACERS Units, see the section of the accompanying prospectus called "Description of Units--Form." PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Underwriting Agreement dated as of September 9, 2003 (the "Underwriting Agreement") between the Depositor and MS & Co., the Depositor has agreed to sell and MS & Co., an affiliate of the Depositor, has agreed to purchase the Corporate Bond TRACERS Units. MS & Co. has agreed, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Underwriting Agreement, to purchase all of the Corporate Bond TRACERS Units offered hereby if any of such Corporate Bond TRACERS Units are purchased. In accordance with the Trust Agreement, the Depositor will receive Corporate Bond TRACERS Units from the Trustee upon deposit of the Underlying Securities. The Depositor has been advised by MS & Co. that it proposes to acquire such Corporate Bond TRACERS Units for its own account at a purchase price of 99.462% per Unit and to resell the Corporate Bond TRACERS Units from time to time in one or more transactions including negotiated transactions, at varying prices to be determined at the time of sale or at the time of commitment therefor. MS & Co. may effect such transactions by selling Corporate Bond TRACERS Units to or through dealers, and such dealers may receive compensation in the form of underwriting discounts, concessions or commissions from MS & Co. and any purchasers of Corporate Bond TRACERS Units for whom they may act as agents. MS & Co. and any dealers that participate with MS & Co. in the distribution of Corporate Bond TRACERS Units may be deemed to be underwriters, and any profit on the resale of Corporate Bond TRACERS Units by them may be deemed to be underwriting discounts or commissions under the Securities Act. The Depositor expects the Trustee to deliver the Corporate Bond TRACERS Units against deposit of the Underlying Securities in New York, New York on or about September 25, 2003. S-39 The Underwriting Agreement provides that the Depositor will indemnify MS & Co. against certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or will contribute to payments MS & Co. may be required to make in respect thereof. MS & Co. is an affiliate of the Depositor, and the participation by MS & Co. in the offering of the Corporate Bond TRACERS Units complies with Section 2720 of the Conduct Rules of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. regarding underwriting securities of an affiliate. Following the initial sale of these Corporate Bond TRACERS Units, MS & Co. may offer and sell the Corporate Bond TRACERS Units in the course of its business as a broker-dealer. MS & Co. may act as principal or agent in those transactions and will make any sales at varying prices related to prevailing market prices at the time of sale or otherwise. MS & Co. may use this prospectus supplement in connection with any of those transactions. MS & Co. is not obligated to make a market in the Corporate Bond TRACERS Units and may discontinue any market-making activities at any time without notice. Neither MS & Co. nor any dealer utilized in the initial offering of these securities will confirm sales to accounts over which it exercises discretionary authority without the prior specific written approval of its customer. In order to facilitate the offering of the Corporate Bond TRACERS Units, MS & Co. may engage in transactions that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of the Corporate Bond TRACERS Units or the Underlying Securities. Specifically, MS & Co. may sell more Corporate Bond TRACERS Units than it is obligated to purchase in connection with the offering, creating a naked short position in the Corporate Bond TRACERS Units for its own account. MS & Co. must close out any naked short position by purchasing the Corporate Bond TRACERS Units in the open market. A naked short position is more likely to be created if MS & Co. is concerned that there may be downward pressure on the price of the Corporate Bond TRACERS Units in the open market after pricing that could adversely affect investors who purchase in the offering. As an additional means of facilitating the offering, MS & Co. may bid for, and purchase, Corporate Bond TRACERS Units or Underlying Securities in the open market to stabilize the price of the Corporate Bond TRACERS Units. Any of these activities may raise or maintain the market price of the Corporate Bond TRACERS Units above independent market levels or prevent or retard a decline in the market price of the Corporate Bond TRACERS Units. MS & Co. is not required to engage in these activities, and may end any of these activities at any time. MS & Co. has represented and agreed that it will comply with all applicable laws and regulations in force in any jurisdiction in which it purchases, offers, sells or delivers the Corporate Bond TRACERS Units or possesses or distributes this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus and will obtain any consent, approval or permission required by it for the purchase, offer or sale by it of the Corporate Bond TRACERS Units under the laws and regulations in force in any jurisdiction to which it is subject or in which it makes purchases, offers or sales of the Corporate Bond TRACERS Units. It is expected that delivery of the Corporate Bond TRACERS Units will be made against payment therefor on or about the date specified in the last paragraph of the cover page of this prospectus supplement, which will be the twelfth Business Day following the date of the pricing of the Corporate Bond TRACERS Units. Under Rule 15c6-1 of the Exchange Act, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in three Business Days, unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade Corporate Bond TRACERS Units on the date of pricing or the next nine succeeding Business Days will be required, by virtue of the fact that the Corporate Bond TRACERS Units initially will settle in T+12, to specify alternative settlement arrangements to prevent a failed settlement. ERISA CONSIDERATIONS It is expected that the Corporate Bond TRACERS Units will be "publicly-offered securities" as described under "ERISA Considerations" in the accompanying prospectus and, therefore, the restrictions described in that section of the prospectus shall not apply with respect to the Corporate Bond TRACERS Units. S-40 UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAXATION The following summary is based on the advice of Davis Polk & Wardwell, special tax counsel to the Depositor, and is a general discussion of the principal U.S. federal income tax consequences to initial holders (unless specifically stated otherwise) of the Units who purchase the Units for an amount that is greater than the Unit Principal Balance on original issuance and who hold the Units and the Underlying Securities as capital assets within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). This summary is based on the Code, administrative pronouncements, judicial decisions and currently effective and proposed Treasury regulations, changes to any of which subsequent to the date of this Prospectus Supplement may affect the tax consequences described herein. This summary does not address all of the tax consequences that may be relevant to a holder in light of the holder's particular circumstances or to holders subject to special rules, such as: o certain financial institutions; o dealers in options, securities or currencies; o U.S. Holders (as defined below) whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar; o persons who hold a Unit as a part of a hedging transaction, straddle, conversion or other integrated transaction; o partnerships or other entities classified as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes; o traders making an election to be subject to a mark-to-market accounting method; o tax-exempt organizations; o holders subject to the alternative minimum tax; or o Non-U.S. Holders (as defined below) who hold Units in connection with a trade or business in the United States. Moreover, the effect of any applicable state, local or foreign tax laws is not discussed. Prospective purchasers of Units should consult their own tax advisors as to the U.S. federal income and other tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of the Units. It is expected, and this disclosure assumes, that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Underlying Securities are treated as indebtedness of the Security Issuers, do not bear any contingent payments, are in registered form, and are not convertible into stock or any other obligation of a Security Issuer. General The Trust will be classified for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a grantor trust and file returns accordingly. Each holder of a Unit will be treated as if the holder (i) directly owns a pro rata share of the Underlying Securities and a pro rata portion of the Payment Agreement, and (ii) directly purchases the pro rata share of the Underlying Securities and enters into the pro rata portion of the Payment Agreement for an amount equal to the amount the holder paid for the Unit. The purchase price of a Unit will be allocated between the Underlying Securities and the Payment Agreement based on their relative fair market values at the time the Unit is acquired. The Trust expects that 100% of the initial purchase price will be allocated to the Underlying Securities. Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders As used herein, the term "U.S. Holder" means a beneficial owner of a Unit that is for U.S. federal income tax purposes (i) a citizen or resident of the United States, (ii) a corporation, or other entity taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or of any political subdivision thereof; or (iii) an estate or trust the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source. S-41 Proposed Treasury Regulations Section 1.671-5 The treatment described herein is based in part on proposed Treasury Regulations Section 1.671-5 (the "2002 Proposed Regulations"), which prescribes, albeit in proposed form, information reporting rules for certain widely-held fixed income trusts, such as the Trust. The 2002 Proposed Regulations, if finalized, would be effective beginning January 1, 2004 and would apply to the Trust. Although the 2002 Proposed Regulations provide information reporting rules, the Trust believes that they suggest appropriate methods for determining the tax consequences of ownership and disposition of a Unit, including the determination of gain or loss or market discount recognized by a U.S. Holder upon disposition by the Trust of an Underlying Security. The rules prescribed by the 2002 Proposed Regulations are uncertain and subject to potentially differing interpretations, and the treatment described herein is based on the Trust's interpretation of the 2002 Proposed Regulations. No assurance can be given that the Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") or the courts will agree with the treatment described herein, or that the final regulations will not differ materially from the 2002 Proposed Regulations, in which case the Trust's reporting requirements, and the tax consequences to you of investing in a Unit, may be different from those described herein. U.S. Holders are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding all aspects of the U.S. federal income tax consequences of investing in the Units, including the interpretation of the 2002 Proposed Regulations. Taxation of Underlying Securities if Section 1272(a)(6)(C)(iii) Applies Applicability of Section 1272(a)(6)(C)(iii). Section 1272(a)(6)(C)(iii) of the Code applies, by its terms, to any pool of debt instruments the yield on which may be affected by reason of prepayments. Since the yield on the Underlying Securities on an aggregate basis may be affected by the exercise of a Security Issuer's right to call an Underlying Security, the Trust intends to take the position that the Underlying Securities constitute a pool to which Section 1272(a)(6)(C)(iii) applies. However, there are no authorities that directly address whether Section 1272(a)(6)(C)(iii) applies, or the manner in which it applies, to the Underlying Securities. As a result, significant aspects of the tax treatment of the Units for U.S. federal income tax purposes are uncertain, including the proper method of calculating original issue discount, market discount and premium on the Underlying Securities, if the Underlying Securities are treated as a pool to which Section 1272(a)(6)(C)(iii) applies. U.S. Holders are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding whether and how Section 1272(a)(6)(C)(iii) applies to the Underlying Securities. The following discussion assumes that Section 1272(a)(6)(C)(iii) applies to the Underlying Securities. If it is determined that Section 1272(a)(6)(C)(iii) does not apply, U.S. Holders will be taxed as described below under the subheading "Taxation of Underlying Securities if Section 1272(a)(6)(C)(iii) Does Not Apply." Original Issue Discount. The Trust intends to take the position no original issue discount will exist with respect to the Units, because no Underlying Security was issued with original issue discount, and because the Units will be sold on original issue at an initial offering price that is greater than the Unit Principal Balance. Payments of Interest. The Trust intends to take the position that interest on the Underlying Securities will be included in a U.S. Holder's income not as it is paid on Interest Payment Dates, but rather as it accrues or is paid on the Underlying Securities in accordance with the U.S. Holder's method of accounting for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The Trust will report such interest to U.S. Holders in a manner consistent with this treatment. Retirement or Sale of Underlying Securities. Under the 2002 Proposed Regulations, upon a sale or disposition (including retirement) of an Underlying Security, the Trust is required to report (i) the date of the sale or disposition, (ii) information regarding the sale proceeds received by the Trust with respect to the sale or disposition, (iii) information that will enable a U.S. Holder to allocate with reasonable accuracy a portion of the U.S. Holder's basis in the Unit to the sale or disposition, and (iv) information that will enable a U.S. Holder to allocate with reasonable accuracy a portion of the U.S. Holder's market discount or premium, if any, to the sale. For each sale or disposition of an Underlying Security, the Trust intends to report (i) the sales proceeds attributable to each Unit, and (ii) the portion, expressed as a percentage, of all remaining Underlying Securities held by the Trust immediately prior to the disposition that the Underlying Security represents on the date of disposition, determined by reference to fair market values on the date of original issuance of the Unit (such percentage, the Underlying Security's "Allocation Percentage"). Upon a sale or disposition of an Underlying Security, it is reasonable, in the absence of more accurate information, for a U.S. Holder to determine gain or loss in respect of the disposition to be the difference between the amount realized and the U.S. Holder's allocable basis in the Underlying Security, where (i) the amount realized is equal to the proceeds of the S-42 retirement or sale allocated to a U.S. Holder, and (ii) the U.S. Holder's basis is allocated to the Underlying Security by reference to its Allocation Percentage. Any such gain or loss will be capital gain or loss, subject to the market discount rules described in the next paragraph. Market Discount. In general, subject to a statutory de minimis amount, if a U.S. Holder of a debt security purchases the security for an amount less than its adjusted issue price, the amount of the difference is treated as "market discount" for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Absent an election to accrue the market discount currently, a U.S. Holder generally is required to treat any principal payment on, or any gain upon sale or disposition of, the security as ordinary income to the extent of accrued market discount. In light of the 2002 Proposed Regulations, it is unclear whether a U.S. Holder of a Unit will be required to account for market discount, if any, on each Underlying Security on a separate basis. As described in the paragraph above, subject to certain exceptions, the 2002 Proposed Regulations require the Trust to report, for each sale or disposition of an Underlying Security, information that will enable a U.S. Holder to allocate with reasonable accuracy a portion of the U.S. Holder's market discount, if any, to the sale or disposition. Under this approach, the Trust believes that it is reasonable for initial U.S. Holders that purchase Units on original issuance at an initial price that is greater than the Unit Principal Balance to take the position that the U.S. Holders do not have any market discount associated with the Underlying Securities. For U.S. Holders other than such initial U.S. Holders, subject to the statutorily defined de minimis amount, if the purchase price for a Unit (other than purchase price attributable to the Payment Agreement, determined as described below) is less than the then current Unit Principal Balance, the difference between the purchase price allocated to the Underlying Securities and the Unit Principal Balance will constitute market discount. Absent an election to accrue market discount currently, the Trust believes that it would be reasonable for a U.S. Holder to take the position that any gain recognized by the U.S. Holder upon retirement, sale or other disposition of an Underlying Security (as described above under "Retirement or Sale of Underlying Securities") should be taken into account as ordinary income to the extent of the accrued market discount that is allocable to the Underlying Security, where the market discount allocable to the Underlying Security is determined by reference to its Allocation Percentage. However, it is possible that the IRS might require a different methodology to determine, allocate or recognize the U.S. Holder's market discount upon retirement, sale or other disposition of an Underlying Security. For example, the IRS might require that all principal proceeds that are passed through to the U.S. Holder upon retirement of an Underlying Security, and all gross proceeds that are allocated to a U.S. Holder upon sale or disposition of an Underlying Security, must be taken into account as ordinary income to the extent of accrued market discount in respect of the Unit that has not been previously recognized. Absent an election to accrue the market discount currently, a U.S. Holder generally will be required to treat any gain upon sale or disposition of the Unit as ordinary income to the extent of accrued market discount in respect of the Unit that has not been previously recognized. U.S. Holders are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding the proper application of the market discount rules to their Units. The purchase price of a Unit will be allocated to the Unit's pro rata share of Underlying Securities and pro rata portion of the Payment Agreement in proportion to their fair market values on the purchase date. U.S. Holders may contact their Morgan Stanley financial advisor for information concerning the relative fair market values of the Underlying Securities and the Payment Agreement on the relevant purchase date. In addition, absent an election to accrue market discount currently, a portion of interest paid by a U.S. Holder on any indebtedness incurred or continued to carry the Unit may be deferred. Premium. In general, if a U.S. Holder purchases a debt security for an amount that is greater than the amount payable at maturity, the amount of the difference is treated as "amortizable bond premium." The U.S. Holder may elect to amortize this premium, using a constant yield method, over the remaining term of the debt security. The U.S. Holder may generally use the amortizable bond premium allocable to an accrual period to offset interest income required to be included in the U.S. Holder's income with respect to the debt security in that accrual period. An election to amortize bond premium applies to all taxable debt securities then owned and thereafter acquired by the U.S. Holder and may be revoked only with the consent of the IRS. In light of the 2002 Proposed Regulations, it is unclear whether a U.S. Holder of a Unit will be required to account for premium on each Underlying Security on a separate basis. As described above, subject to certain exceptions, the 2002 Proposed Regulations require the Trust to report, for each sale or disposition of an Underlying Security, information that will enable a U.S. Holder to allocate with reasonable accuracy a portion of the U.S. Holder's premium, if any, to the sale or disposition. Under this approach, the Trust believes that it is reasonable for U.S. Holders that purchase Units at a price that is greater than the then current Unit Principal Balance, and that elect to amortize premium, to allocate as amortizable bond premium the excess of the cost over the then current Unit Principal Balance to each Underlying Security then held by the Trust by reference to each Underlying Security's Allocation Percentage (as defined above) on the purchase date. U.S. Holders may contact their Morgan Stanley financial advisor for information concerning the Allocation Percentage of each Underlying Security held by the Trust on the relevant S-43 purchase date. U.S. Holders are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding the election to amortize bond premium, including the proper method for allocating premium in respect of a Unit among the Underlying Securities. Sale or Exchange of a Unit. Upon a sale or exchange of a Unit, a U.S. Holder generally will recognize capital gain or loss equal to the amount realized on the sale or exchange less its adjusted tax basis in the Unit, except to the extent of any accrued market discount. See the discussion under the subheading "Market Discount" above. For this purpose, the amount realized does not include amounts attributable to accrued but unpaid interest on the Underlying Securities, which will be taxed as such. Any such gain or loss will be long-term capital gain or loss if the Unit is held for more than one year. Applicability of Treasury Regulations Section 1.1275-6. Provided that Section 1272(a)(6)(C)(iii) applies, the Underlying Securities cannot be integrated with a related hedge under Treasury Regulations Section 1.1275-6. Therefore, U.S. Holders will account for the Payment Agreement separately, as described below under the subheading "Taxation of the Payment Agreement." Taxation of Underlying Securities if Section 1272(a)(6)(C)(iii) Does Not Apply As indicated above, although the IRS has not issued any substantive guidance concerning the application of Section 1272(a)(6)(C)(iii), the Trust intends to take the position that the provision applies to the Underlying Securities. If it were determined that Section 1272(a)(6)(C)(iii) does not apply to the Underlying Securities, U.S. Holders may be able to make an election to integrate, or may be required by the IRS to integrate, their interests in the Underlying Securities and the Payment Agreement under Treasury Regulations Section 1.1275-6. In that event, the U.S. federal income tax treatment of the Units, including the timing and character of a U.S. Holder's income and deductions, would be different from that disclosed herein. For example, among other consequences, all interest earned with respect to the integrated position would constitute original issue discount. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors concerning the availability of, and consequences of making, an integration election if Section 1272(a)(6)(C)(iii) does not apply to the Underlying Securities. Taxation of the Payment Agreement The Payment Agreement will be treated as a "notional principal contract" for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and will be subject to the Treasury regulations governing the timing of income and deductions in respect of such contracts. Under those regulations, a U.S. Holder will be required, in respect of the periodic payments made during each period, to determine its pro rata share of the difference between the amount the Payment Counterparty is obligated to pay to the Trust and the amount the Trust is required to pay to the Payment Counterparty for that period, and currently to include in or deduct from ordinary income the difference, as the case may be. Under the regulations, and for purposes of determining taxable income in respect of a taxable year that is straddled by a single period, the income or deduction for each period is allocated ratably to each day in the period. It is likely that any such deductions will, in the case of an individual U.S. Holder, generally be classified as "miscellaneous itemized deductions" that may only be deducted to the extent that, in the aggregate, they exceed 2% of the holder's "adjusted gross income" (the "2% Floor"). An individual U.S. Holder's ability to deduct itemized deductions will be limited further if his or her adjusted gross income exceeds a specified amount, currently $100,000 ($50,000 for a married individual filing separately) (the "Overall Limitation on Itemized Deductions"). Prospective individual investors are urged to consult their own tax advisors in respect of such limitations. Limitations on Deductibility of Trust Expenses Generally, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, U.S. Holders must take into account their full pro rata share of the income received by the Trust, even if some of that income is retained by the Trustee to satisfy trust expenses. A U.S. Holder may (in the case of an individual, subject to an election to itemize deductions) deduct from income its pro rata share of such retained trust expenses. However, the deductibility of such trust expenses will be subject to the 2% Floor and the Overall Limitation on Itemized Deductions described in the preceding paragraph. S-44 Tax Consequences to Non-U.S. Holders As used herein, the term "Non-U.S. Holder" means a holder of a Unit that is for U.S. federal income tax purposes (i) an individual who is classified as a nonresident alien, (ii) a foreign corporation, or (iii) a nonresident alien fiduciary of a foreign estate or trust. "Non-U.S. Holder" does not include a holder who is an individual present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of disposition and who is not otherwise a resident of the United States for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Such a holder is urged to consult his or her own tax advisor regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the sale, exchange or disposition of a Unit. Payments on Units to a Non-U.S. Holder with respect to an Underlying Security that is issued by a "United States person" for U.S. federal income tax purposes will not be subject to withholding of U.S. federal income tax, provided that, with respect to payments attributable to interest on an Underlying Security: o the Non-U.S. Holder does not actually or constructively own 10 percent or more of the combined voting power of all classes of stock of the relevant Security Issuer and is not a controlled foreign corporation related to the relevant Security Issuer through stock ownership; and o the Non-U.S. Holder provides a statement (such as a Form W-8BEN) signed under penalties of perjury that includes its name and address and certifies that it is a Non-U.S. Holder in compliance with applicable requirements (or satisfies certain documentary evidence requirements for establishing that it is a Non-U.S. Holder). Payments on Units to a Non-U.S. Holder with respect to an Underlying Security that is not issued by a United States person will generally not be subject to withholding of U.S. federal income taxation. Gain realized by a Non-U.S. Holder on the sale, exchange or redemption of a Unit generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax. Information Reporting and Backup Withholding Information reporting to the IRS and backup withholding may apply in respect of amounts paid by the Trustee to holders of a Unit, unless such holders provide proof of an applicable exemption or a correct taxpayer identification number, and otherwise comply with applicable requirements of the information reporting and backup withholding rules. The amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules are not an additional tax and may be refunded, or credited against the holder's U.S. federal income tax liability, provided the required information is furnished to the IRS. Foreign Withholding Payments on Underlying Securities issued by foreign Underlying Issuers may be subject to foreign withholding taxes. The imposition of any foreign withholding taxes may reduce the amount available for payments on the Units. Subject to applicable limitations, foreign withholding taxes may be eligible for credit against a holder's U.S. federal income tax liability.

each Distribution Date. This schedule of payments will be amended upon the early redemption, repayment or Mandatory Liquidation of any Underlying Security. A revised schedule of payments will be filed with the SEC by the Trustee on Form 8-K and will be available from your Morgan Stanley financial advisor upon request and the Trustee will provide notice of the change to holders of the Corporate Bond TRACERS.

There will not be any scheduled payment of principal until the Distribution Date following September 26, 2011, the earliest date upon which any of the Underlying Securities mature.
