WELLS FARGO & COMPANY,
a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware (hereinafter called the “Company,”
which term includes any successor corporation under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises
to pay to CEDE & Co., or registered assigns, the principal sum of ______________________________________________________
DOLLARS ($___________) on December 17, 2023 (the “Stated Maturity Date”) and to pay interest thereon from June
17, 2020 or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for monthly on the 17th
day of each month, commencing July 17, 2020, and at Maturity (each, an “Interest Payment Date”), at the rate
of 1.25% per annum until the principal hereof is paid or made available for payment. The interest so payable, and punctually paid
or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in the Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this
Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest
next preceding such Interest Payment Date. The Regular Record Date for an Interest Payment Date shall be one Business Day prior
to such Interest Payment Date. If an Interest Payment Date is not a Business Day, interest on this Security shall be payable on
the next day that is a Business Day, with the same force and effect as if made on such Interest Payment Date, and without any interest
or other payment with respect to the delay. “Business Day” shall mean a day, other than a Saturday or Sunday,
that is neither a legal holiday nor a day on which banking institutions are authorized or required by law or regulation to close
in New York, New York.


 


Except as described
below for the first Interest Period, on each Interest Payment Date, interest will be paid for the period commencing on and including
the immediately preceding Interest Payment Date and ending on and including the day immediately preceding that Interest Payment
Date. This period is referred to as an “Interest Period.” The first Interest Period will


 




     


     


    

  


commence on and include June 17, 2020 and
end on and include July 16, 2020. Interest on this Security will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.


 


Any interest not punctually
paid or duly provided for will forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date and may either be paid to
the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on a Special
Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the Trustee, notice whereof shall be given to Holders of
Securities of this series not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date, or be paid at any time in any other lawful
manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Securities of this series may be listed,
and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in the Indenture.


 


Payment of interest
on this Security will be made in immediately available funds at the office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose
in the City of Minneapolis, Minnesota in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal
tender for payment of public and private debts; provided, however, that, at the option of the Company, payment of interest may
be paid by check mailed to the Person entitled thereto at such Person’s last address as it appears in the Security Register
or by wire transfer to such account as may have been designated by such Person. Payment of principal of and interest on this Security
at Maturity will be made against presentation of this Security at the office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose
in the City of Minneapolis, Minnesota. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for so long as this Security is a Global Security registered
in the name of the Depositary, payments of principal and interest on this Security will be made to the Depositary by wire transfer
of immediately available funds.


 


This Security is redeemable
at the option of the Company, in whole but not in part, on any Optional Redemption Date at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of
the principal amount of this Security to be redeemed, plus any accrued but unpaid interest to, but excluding, the Redemption Date.
The “Optional Redemption Dates” are quarterly on the 17th day of each March, June, September and December, commencing
June 17, 2022 and ending September 17, 2023. Notice of any redemption will be mailed at least 5 but not more than 30 days before
the applicable Redemption Date to the Holder hereof. Unless the Company defaults in the payment of the Redemption Price, on or
after the Redemption Date, interest will cease to accrue on this Security or the portion hereof called for redemption.


 


This Security is not
subject to repayment at the option of the Holder hereof prior to December 17, 2023. This Security is not entitled to any sinking
fund.


 


Reference is hereby
made to the further provisions of this Security set forth on the reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all purposes
have the same effect as if set forth at this place.


 


Unless the certificate
of authentication hereon has been executed by the Trustee referred to on the reverse hereof by manual signature or its duly authorized
agent under the Indenture referred to on the reverse hereof by manual signature, this Security shall not be entitled to any benefit
under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

This Security is one

in one or more series under an indenture dated as of February 21, 2017, as amended or supplemented from time to time (herein
called the “Indenture”), between the Company and Citibank, N.A., as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee,”
which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference
is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company,
the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities, and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and
delivered. This Security is one of the series of the Securities designated as Medium-Term Notes, Series T, of the Company.

different times, be redeemable at different times or not at all, be repayable at the option of the Holder at different times or
not at all and be denominated in different currencies.


 


The Securities are
issuable only in registered form without coupons and will be either (a) book-entry securities represented by one or more Global
Securities recorded in the book-entry system maintained by the Depositary or (b) certificated securities issued to and registered
in the names of, the beneficial owners or their nominees.


 


The Company agrees,
to the extent permitted by law, not to voluntarily claim the benefits of any laws concerning usurious rates of interest against
a Holder of this Security.


 


Modification and Waivers 


 


The Indenture permits,
with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company
and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series to be affected under the Indenture at any time by the Company and
the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of all
series to be affected, acting together as a class. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of a majority
in principal amount of the Securities of all series at the time Outstanding affected by certain provisions of the Indenture, acting
together as a class, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Company with those provisions
of the Indenture. Certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences may be waived under the Indenture by the Holders
of a majority in principal amount of the Securities of each series at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities
of such series. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder
