defined below) on the scheduled Calculation Day (as defined below), the Initial Stated Maturity Date will be the “Stated Maturity Date.” If a Market Disruption Event occurs or is continuing with respect to the Index on the scheduled
Calculation Day, the “Stated Maturity Date” shall be the later of (i) three Business Days (as defined below) after the postponed Calculation Day and (ii) the Initial Stated Maturity Date. This Security shall not bear any
interest. 
 Any payments 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 and at any other office or agency maintained by the Company for such purpose. 
 “Face Amount” shall mean, when used with respect to this Security, the amount set forth on the face of this Security as its “Face Amount.” 







 Determination of Redemption Amount 

The “Redemption Amount” of this Security will equal: 

 

	 	•	 	 if the Ending Level is greater than or equal to the Threshold Level: the Contingent Fixed Redemption Amount; or 



 

	 	•	 	 if the Ending Level is less than the Threshold Level: 



 
 



 
 “Index” shall mean the Russell 2000® Index. 
 The “Pricing Date” shall mean January 2, 2013. 
 The
“Starting Level” is 873.42, the Closing Level of the Index on the Pricing Date. 
 The “Closing
Level” of the Index on any Trading Day means the official closing level of the Index as reported by the Index Sponsor on such Trading Day. 
 The “Ending Level” will be the Closing Level of the Index on the Calculation Day. 
 The “Contingent Fixed Redemption Amount” is 113% of the Face Amount of this Security. 
 The “Threshold Level” is 742.407, which is equal to 85% of the Starting Level. 
 The “Multiplier” is equal to the Starting Level divided by the Threshold Level. 
 “Index Sponsor” shall mean Frank Russell Company, doing business as Russell Investment Group. 
 “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. 
 A “Trading Day” with respect to the Index means a day, as determined by the
Calculation Agent, on which (i) the Relevant Exchanges with respect to each security underlying the Index are scheduled to be open for trading for their respective regular trading sessions and (ii) each Related Exchange is scheduled to be
open for trading for its regular trading session. 
 The “Related Exchange” for the Index means each exchange
or quotation system where trading has a material effect (as determined by the Calculation Agent) on the overall market for futures or options contracts relating to the Index. 

  
 2 








 The “Relevant Exchange” for any security then underlying the Index means
the primary exchange or quotation system on which such security is traded, as determined by the Calculation Agent. 
 The
“Calculation Day” shall be February 17, 2015 or, if such day is not a Trading Day, the next succeeding Trading Day. The Calculation Day is subject to postponement due to the occurrence of a Market Disruption Event. If a Market
Disruption Event occurs or is continuing with respect to the Index on the Calculation Day, such Calculation Day will be postponed to the first succeeding Trading Day on which a Market Disruption Event has not occurred and is not continuing. If such
first succeeding Trading Day has not occurred as of the eighth Trading Day after the originally scheduled Calculation Day, that eighth Trading Day shall be deemed the Calculation Day. If the Calculation Day has been postponed eight Trading Days
after the originally scheduled Calculation Day and a Market Disruption Event occurs or is continuing with respect to the Index on such eighth Trading Day, the Calculation Agent will determine the Closing Level of the Index on such eighth Trading Day
in accordance with the formula for and method of calculating the Closing Level of the Index last in effect prior to commencement of the Market Disruption Event, using the closing price (or, with respect to any of the relevant securities, if a Market
Disruption Event has occurred, its good faith estimate of the value of such securities at the Scheduled Closing Time (as defined below) on the Relevant Exchanges) on such date of each security included in the Index. See “—Market Disruption
Events.” As used herein, “closing price” means, with respect to any security on any date, the relevant exchange traded or quoted price of such security as of the Close of Trading (as defined below) on such date. 

“Calculation Agent Agreement” shall mean the Calculation Agent Agreement dated as of May 29, 2012 between the
Company and the Calculation Agent, as amended from time to time. 
 “Calculation Agent” shall mean the Person
that has entered into the Calculation Agent Agreement with the Company providing for, among other things, the determination of the Ending Level and the Redemption Amount, which term shall, unless the context otherwise requires, include its
successors under such Calculation Agent Agreement. The initial Calculation Agent shall be Wells Fargo Securities, LLC. Pursuant to the Calculation Agent Agreement, the Company may appoint a different Calculation Agent from time to time after the
initial issuance of this Security without the consent of the Holder of this Security and without notifying the Holder of this Security. 

Discontinuance Of The Index; Alteration Of Method Of Calculation 
 If the Index Sponsor discontinues publication of the Index, and the Index Sponsor or another entity publishes a successor or substitute equity index that the Calculation Agent determines, in its sole
discretion, to be comparable to the Index (a “Successor Equity Index”), then, upon the Calculation Agent’s notification of that determination to the Trustee and the Company, the Calculation Agent will substitute the Successor
Equity Index as calculated by the relevant Index Sponsor or any other entity and calculate the Ending Level as described above. Upon any selection by the Calculation Agent of a Successor Equity Index, the Company will cause notice to be given to the
Holder of this Security. 

  
 3 








 In the event that the Index Sponsor discontinues publication of the Index prior to, and the
discontinuance is continuing on, the Calculation Day and the Calculation Agent determines that no Successor Equity Index is available at such time, the Calculation Agent will calculate a substitute Closing Level for the Index in accordance with the
formula for and method of calculating the Index last in effect prior to the discontinuance, but using only those securities that comprised the Index immediately prior to that discontinuance. If a Successor Equity Index is selected or the Calculation
Agent calculates a level as a substitute for the Index, the Successor Equity Index or level will be used as a substitute for the Index for all purposes, including the purpose of determining whether a Market Disruption Event exists. 

If on the Calculation Day the Index Sponsor of the Index fails to calculate and announce the level of the Index, the Calculation Agent
will calculate a substitute Closing Level of the Index in accordance with the formula for and method of calculating the Index last in effect prior to the failure, but using only those securities that comprised the Index immediately prior to that
failure; provided that, if a Market Disruption Event occurs or is continuing on such day, then the provisions set forth above under the definition of “Calculation Day” shall apply in lieu of the foregoing. 

If at any time the Index Sponsor makes a material change in the formula for or the method of calculating the Index, or in any other way
materially modifies the Index (other than a modification prescribed in that formula or method to maintain the Index in the event of changes in constituent stock and capitalization and other routine events), then, from and after that time, the
Calculation Agent will, at the close of business in New York, New York, on each date that the Closing Level of the Index is to be calculated, calculate a substitute Closing Level of the Index in accordance with the formula for and method of
calculating the Index last in effect prior to the change, but using only those securities that comprised the Index immediately prior to that change. Accordingly, if the method of calculating the Index is modified so that the level of the Index is a
fraction or a multiple of what it would have been if it had not been modified, then the Calculation Agent will adjust the Index in order to arrive at a level of the Index as if it had not been modified. 

Market Disruption Events 
 A “Market Disruption Event” means, with respect to the Index, any of the following events as determined by the Calculation Agent in its sole discretion: 

 

	 	(A)	The occurrence or existence of a material suspension of or limitation imposed on trading by the Relevant Exchanges or otherwise relating to securities which then
comprise 20% or more of the level of the Index or any Successor Equity Index at any time during the one-hour period that ends at the Close of Trading on that day, whether by reason of movements in price exceeding limits permitted by those Relevant
Exchanges or otherwise. 

  

	 	(B)	 The occurrence or existence of a material suspension of or limitation imposed on trading by any Related Exchange or otherwise in futures or options
contracts relating to the Index or any Successor Equity Index on any Related Exchange at any time during the one-hour period that ends at the Close of Trading on that day, 



  
 4 








 
whether by reason of movements in price exceeding limits permitted by the Related Exchange or otherwise. 
  

	 	(C)	The occurrence or existence of any event, other than an early closure, that materially disrupts or impairs the ability of market participants in general to effect
transactions in, or obtain market values for, securities that then comprise 20% or more of the level of the Index or any Successor Equity Index on their Relevant Exchanges at any time during the one-hour period that ends at the Close of Trading on
that day. 

  

	 	(D)	The occurrence or existence of any event, other than an early closure, that materially disrupts or impairs the ability of market participants in general to effect
transactions in, or obtain market values for, futures or options contracts relating to the Index or any Successor Equity Index on any Related Exchange at any time during the one-hour period that ends at the Close of Trading on that day.


  

	 	(E)	The closure on any Exchange Business Day of the Relevant Exchanges on which securities that then comprise 20% or more of the level of the Index or any Successor Equity
Index are traded or any Related Exchange prior to its Scheduled Closing Time unless the earlier closing time is announced by the Relevant Exchange or Related Exchange, as applicable, at least one hour prior to the earlier of (1) the actual
closing time for the regular trading session on such Relevant Exchange or Related Exchange, as applicable, and (2) the submission deadline for orders to be entered into the Relevant Exchange or Related Exchange, as applicable, system for
execution at the Close of Trading on that day. 

  

	 	(F)	The Relevant Exchange for any security underlying the Index or Successor Equity Index or any Related Exchange fails to open for trading during its regular trading
session. 

 For purposes of determining whether a Market Disruption Event has occurred: 

 

	 	(1)	the relevant percentage contribution of a security to the level of the Index or any Successor Equity Index will be based on a comparison of (x) the portion of the
level of the Index attributable to that security and (y) the overall level of the Index or Successor Equity Index, in each case immediately before the occurrence of the Market Disruption Event; 


 

	 	(2)	the “Close of Trading” means the Scheduled Closing Time of the Relevant Exchanges with respect to the securities underlying the Index or any Successor
Equity Index; 

  

	 	(3)	the “Scheduled Closing Time” of any Relevant Exchange or Related Exchange on any Trading Day for the Index or any Successor Equity Index means
the scheduled weekday closing time of such Relevant Exchange or Related Exchange on such Trading Day, without regard to after hours or any other trading outside the regular trading session hours; and 


  
 5 









	 	(4)	an “Exchange Business Day” means any Trading Day for the Index or any Successor Equity Index on which each Relevant Exchange for the securities
underlying the Index or any Successor Equity Index and each Related Exchange are open for trading during their respective regular trading sessions, notwithstanding any such Relevant Exchange or Related Exchange closing prior to its Scheduled Closing
Time. 

 Calculation Agent 
 The Calculation Agent will determine the Redemption Amount and the Ending Level. In addition, the Calculation Agent will (i) determine if adjustments are required to the Closing Level of the Index
under the circumstances described in this Security, (ii) if publication of the Index is discontinued, select a Successor Equity Index or, if no Successor Equity Index is available, determine the Closing Level of the Index under the
circumstances described in this Security, and (iii) determine whether a Market Disruption Event has occurred. 
 The
Company covenants that, so long as this Security is Outstanding, there shall at all times be a Calculation Agent (which shall be a broker-dealer, bank or other financial institution) with respect to this Security. 

All determinations made by the Calculation Agent with respect to this Security will be at the sole discretion of the Calculation Agent
and, in the absence of manifest error, will be conclusive for all purposes and binding on the Company and the Holder of this Security. All percentages and other amounts resulting from any calculation with respect to this Security will be rounded at
the Calculation Agent’s discretion. 
 Tax Considerations 

The Company agrees, and by acceptance of a beneficial ownership interest in this Security each Holder of this Security will be deemed to
have agreed (in the absence of a statutory, regulatory, administrative or judicial ruling to the contrary), for United States federal income tax purposes to characterize and treat this Security as a pre-paid derivative contract in respect of the
Index. 
 Redemption and Repayment 
 This Security is not subject to redemption at the option of the Company or repayment at the option of the Holder hereof prior to February 20, 2015. This Security is not entitled to any sinking fund.

 Acceleration 
 If an
Event of Default, as defined in the Indenture, with respect to this Security shall occur and be continuing, the Redemption Amount (calculated as set forth in the next sentence) of this Security may be declared due and payable in the manner and with
the effect provided in the Indenture. The amount payable to the Holder hereof upon any acceleration permitted under the Indenture will be equal to the Redemption Amount hereof calculated as provided herein as though the date of acceleration was the
Calculation Day. 

  
 6 








   
 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.

 Due Nine Months or More From Date of Issue 

Securities Linked to the Russell 2000® Index 
 This Security is one of a duly
authorized issue of securities of the Company (herein called the “Securities”), issued and to be issued in one or more series under an indenture dated as of July 21, 1999, 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 K, of the Company, which series is limited to an aggregate principal amount or face amount, as applicable,
of $25,000,000,000 or the equivalent thereof in one or more foreign or composite currencies. The amount payable on the Securities of this series may be determined by reference to the performance of one or more equity-, commodity- or currency-based
indices, exchange traded funds, securities, commodities, currencies, statistical measures of economic or financial performance, or a basket comprised of two or more of the foregoing, or any other market measure or may bear interest at a fixed rate
or a floating rate. The Securities of this series may mature at 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.

 Article Sixteen of the Indenture shall not apply to this Security. 

The Securities are issuable only in registered form without coupons and will be either (a) book-entry securities represented by one

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.

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

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. Solely for the purpose of determining whether any consent, waiver, notice or other action
or Act to be taken or given by the Holders of Securities pursuant to the Indenture has been given or taken by the Holders of Outstanding Securities in the requisite aggregate principal amount, the principal amount of this Security will be deemed to
be equal to the amount set forth on the face hereof as the “Face Amount” hereof. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of

clearing agency registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and a successor depositary is not appointed within 90 days after the Company receives such notice or becomes aware of such ineligibility, (y) the Company in
its sole discretion determines that this Security shall be exchangeable for definitive Securities in registered form and notifies the Trustee thereof or (z) an Event of Default with respect to the Securities represented hereby has occurred and
