 Due Nine Months or More From Date of Issue 
 Notes
Linked to the Dow Jones – UBS Commodity IndexSM

 due February 7, 2018 
 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, an amount equal to the Redemption Amount (as defined below), 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, on the Stated Maturity Date. The “Initial Stated Maturity Date” shall be February 7, 2018. If no Market Disruption Event (as
defined below) occurs or is continuing with respect to the Index (as 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 the Starting Level, the lesser of: 



 

	 	(i)	the Face Amount plus: 

  

															
	[	 	Face Amount x	  	[	 	 Ending Level – Starting Level

Starting Level
	  	]	 	x Participation Rate	  	]	 	; and

  

	 	(ii)	the Capped Value; 

  

	 	•	 	 If the Ending Level is less than or equal to the Starting Level, the Face Amount. 



“Index” shall mean the Dow Jones – UBS Commodity IndexSM. 

The “Pricing Date” shall mean July 29, 2011. 

The “Starting Level” is 162.8146, the Closing Level of the Index on the Pricing Date. 

The “Ending Level” will be the Closing Level of the Index on the Calculation Day. If a Market Disruption Event occurs or
is continuing on the Calculation Day with respect to the Index, the Calculation Agent will establish the Closing Level for the Index for the Calculation Day using (A) for each Designated Contract included in the Index that did not suffer
a Market Disruption Event on such date, the exchange published Settlement Price on that date of each such Designated Contract, and (B) for each Designated Contract included in the Index which did suffer a Market Disruption Event on such
date, the exchange published Settlement Price of that Designated Contract on the next Trading Day on which no Market Disruption Event occurs with respect to such Designated Contract; provided, however, if a Market Disruption Event occurs with
respect to a Designated Contract on each of the five Trading Days following such Calculation Day, then the Calculation Agent will determine the Closing Level of the Index for such Calculation Day using a Settlement Price for such Designated Contract
subject to a Market Disruption Event based upon its good faith estimate of the Settlement Price on that fifth Trading Day. The Calculation Agent shall determine the Closing Level by reference to the exchange published Settlement Prices or other
prices determined as set forth above, using the then-current method for calculating the Index. The exchange on which a Designated Contract included in the Index is traded for purposes of the foregoing provision means the exchange used to value such
Designated Contract for the calculation of the Index. 
 The “Closing Level” of the Index on any Trading Day is
generally the last reported level of the Index at approximately 5:00 p.m., New York City time. 
 The “Capped
Value” is 170% of the Face Amount of this Security. 
 The “Participation Rate” is 100%. 

  
 2 








 “Index Sponsor” shall mean CME Group Index Services LLC (“CME
Indexes”), as assignee of Dow Jones & Company, Inc. (“Dow Jones”), and UBS Securities LLC (“UBS”). 
 “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 or Minneapolis, Minnesota. 
 A “Trading Day” with respect to the Index means a
day, as determined by the Calculation Agent, on which the Closing Level of the Index is scheduled to be published. 
 The
“Calculation Day” shall be January 31, 2018 or, if such day is not a Trading Day, the next succeeding Trading Day. 
 “Calculation Agent Agreement” shall mean the Calculation Agent Agreement dated as of August 5, 2011 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 commodity index that the Calculation Agent determines, in its sole discretion, to be comparable to the Index (a “Successor Commodity Index”), then, upon the Calculation Agent’s notification
of that determination to the Trustee and the Company, the Calculation Agent will substitute the Successor Commodity 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 Commodity Index, the Company will cause notice to be given to the Holder of this Security. 
 In the event that the Index Sponsor discontinues publication of the Index and the Calculation Agent does not select a Successor Commodity Index, the Calculation Agent will compute a substitute level for
the Index in accordance with the procedures last used to calculate the Index before any discontinuance. If a Successor Commodity Index is selected or the Calculation Agent calculates a level as a substitute for the Index, the Successor Commodity
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. 

  
 3 








 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 so that the Index does not, in the opinion of the Calculation Agent, fairly represent the level of the Index had those changes or modifications not been made, then, from and
after that time, the Calculation Agent will, at the close of business in New York, New York, on the date that the Closing Level of the Index is to be calculated, make any adjustments as, in the good faith judgment of the Calculation Agent, may be
necessary in order to arrive at a value of an commodity index comparable to the Index as if those changes or modifications had not been made, and calculate the level of the Index with reference to such commodity index, as so adjusted. 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 failure of the Index Sponsor to announce or publish the Closing Level of the Index (or the closing level of any Successor Commodity Index, if applicable) or the
temporary discontinuance or unavailability of the Index. A discontinuance of publication of the Index shall not constitute a Market Disruption Event with respect to the Index if the Calculation Agent shall have selected a Successor Commodity Index
as set forth above under “Discontinuance Of The Index; Alteration Of Method Of Calculation.” 

  

	 	(B)	The material suspension of, or material limitation imposed on, trading in any Designated Contract included in the Index on the Relevant Exchange for such Designated
Contract. The “Relevant Exchange” for a Designated Contract means the primary exchange or market of trading for such Designated Contract. 

  


	 	(C)	The failure by the Relevant Exchange, trading facility or other price source to announce or publish the Settlement Price for any Designated Contract included in the
Index. 

  

	 	(D)	The Settlement Price published by the Relevant Exchange, trading facility or other price source for any Designated Contract included in the Index is a “limit
price,” which means that the Settlement Price for such contract for a day has increased or decreased from the previous day’s Settlement Price by the maximum amount permitted under applicable rules. 


As used in this Security: 
  

	 	(1)	a “Designated Contract” refers to a futures contract included in the Index; 


  
 4 









	 	(2)	“Settlement Price” means for each Designated Contract, the official settlement price for the relevant contract month as published by the futures
exchange on which the Index Commodity trades; and 

  

	 	(3)	“Index Commodity” refers to the physical commodity underlying a Designated Contract. 


Calculation Agent 

The Calculation Agent will determine the Ending Level and the Redemption Amount. 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 Commodity Index or, if no Successor
Commodity 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. 

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 7, 2018. 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; provided, however, if such date is not a Trading Day, the Calculation Day will be postponed as provided herein. 

 
  

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. 

  
 5 








 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.
