WELLS
FARGO FINANCE, LLC, a limited liability company duly organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware (hereinafter
called the “Company,” which term includes any successor corporation under and as defined in the Indenture hereinafter
referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to CEDE & Co., or registered assigns, an amount equal to the Maturity
Payment Amount (as defined below) on the Stated Maturity Date (as defined below), unless this Security is automatically called
prior to the Stated Maturity Date as provided below under “Automatic Call,” and to pay Contingent Coupon Payments
(as defined below) on the Face Amount of this Security to the extent provided herein on the Contingent Coupon Payment Dates specified
herein at the Contingent Coupon Rate (as defined below) until the earlier of the Stated Maturity Date and the Call Settlement
Date (as defined below), if any. The “Initial Stated Maturity Date” shall be March 10, 2027. If the Final Calculation
Day (as defined below) is not postponed, the Initial Stated Maturity Date will be the “Stated Maturity Date.”
If the Final Calculation Day is postponed, the “Stated Maturity Date” shall be the later of (i) the Initial
Stated Maturity Date and (ii) three Business Days (as defined below) after the last Final Calculation Day as postponed.


 


“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.”


 


Automatic
Call


 


If
the Closing Level (as defined below) of the Lowest Performing Index (as defined below) on any of the quarterly Calculation Days
(as defined below) from March 2020 to December 2026, 


 



     


     


    

 


inclusive,
is greater than or equal to its Starting Level (as defined below), this Security will be automatically called by the Company,
and on the related Call Settlement Date the Holder hereof will receive the Call Price (as defined below) plus a final Contingent
Coupon Payment. Unless the Company defaults in the payment of the Call Price plus the final Contingent Coupon Payment, this Security
will cease to be outstanding on such Call Settlement Date, no additional Contingent Coupon Payments will be payable on this Security
and the Holder hereof will have no further rights under this Security after such Call Settlement Date. The Holder hereof will
not receive any notice from the Company in the event this Security is automatically called pursuant to the terms hereof. The “Call
Price” is equal to the Face Amount of this Security. The “Call Settlement Date” for a Calculation
Day shall be three Business Days after such Calculation Day, as such Calculation Day may be postponed as provided herein. If a
Calculation Day is postponed with respect to one or more Indices, the related Call Settlement Date will be three Business Days
after the last Calculation Day as postponed.


 


Payment
of Contingent Coupon Payments, the Maturity Payment Amount and the Call Price


 


On
each quarterly Contingent Coupon Payment Date, the Company shall pay a Contingent Coupon Payment if, and only if, the Closing
Level of the Lowest Performing Index on the related Calculation Day is greater than or equal to its Coupon Threshold Level (as
defined below). A “Contingent Coupon Payment,” if payable as provided herein, shall be equal to (i) the product
of the Face Amount of this Security and the Contingent Coupon Rate, (ii) divided by 4. The “Contingent Coupon Payment
Dates” shall be the third Business Day following each Calculation Day, as each such Calculation Day may be postponed
as herein provided, provided that the Contingent Coupon Payment Date with respect to the Final Calculation Day will be the Stated
Maturity Date. If a Calculation Day is postponed with respect to one or more Indices, the related Contingent Coupon Payment Date
will be three Business Days after the last Calculation Day as postponed. The “Contingent Coupon Rate” is 7.00%
per annum. Any Contingent Coupon Payments will be rounded to the nearest cent, with one-half cent rounded upward. If a Contingent
Coupon Payment Date is postponed, the Contingent Coupon Payment, if any, due on that Contingent Coupon Payment Date will be made
on that Contingent Coupon Payment Date as so postponed with the same force and effect as if it had been made on the originally
scheduled Contingent Coupon Payment Date, with no additional amount accruing or payable as a result of the postponement.


 


Any
Contingent Coupon Payment so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Contingent Coupon 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 Contingent Coupon Payment next preceding such Contingent Coupon Payment
Date. The Regular Record Date for a Contingent Coupon Payment Date shall be the date one Business Day prior to such Contingent
Coupon Payment Date.


 


Any
Contingent Coupon Payment 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 


 



    2 


     


    

 


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 any Contingent Coupon Payment 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; provided, however, that, at the option of the Company, payment
of any Contingent Coupon Payment 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. Payments
of any Contingent Coupon Payment and the Maturity Payment Amount or the Call Price, as applicable, 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
for so long as this Security is a Global Security registered in the name of the Depositary, any payments on this Security will
be made to the Depositary by wire transfer of immediately available funds.


 


Payment
of the Maturity Payment Amount or the Call Price, as applicable, and any Contingent Coupon Payments on this Security will be made
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.

this Security is not automatically called prior to the Stated Maturity Date as provided above under “Automatic Call,”
the “Maturity Payment Amount” of this Security will equal:


 


		•	if
                                         the Ending Level of the Lowest Performing Index on the Final Calculation Day (as defined
                                         below) is greater than or equal to its Downside Threshold Level: the Face Amount; or



 


		•	if
                                         the Ending Level of the Lowest Performing Index on the Final Calculation Day is less

                                         Factor of the Lowest Performing

        Index
        on the Final Calculation Day
	 	 


 


All
calculations with respect to the Maturity Payment Amount will be rounded to the nearest one hundred-thousandth, with five one-millionths
rounded upward (e.g., 0.000005 would be rounded to 0.00001); and the Maturity Payment Amount will be rounded to the nearest cent,
with one-half cent rounded upward.


 


“Index”
shall mean each of the S&P 500 Index, the Russell 2000 Index and the EURO STOXX 50 Index.


 


The
“Pricing Date” shall mean February 27, 2019.


 



    3 


     


    

 





The
“Lowest Performing Index” for any Calculation Day will be the Index with the lowest Performance Factor on that
Calculation Day (as such Calculation Day may be postponed for one or more Indices as provided herein).


 


The
“Performance Factor” with respect to an Index on any Calculation Day is its Closing Level on such Calculation
Day divided by its Starting Level (expressed as a percentage).


 


The
“Starting Level” with respect to the S&P 500 Index is 2792.38, its Closing Level on the Pricing Date, with
respect to the Russell 2000 Index is 1581.052, its Closing Level on the Pricing Date, and with respect to the EURO STOXX 50 Index
is 3282.77, its Closing Level on the Pricing Date.


 


The
“Ending Level” of an Index will be its Closing Level on the Final Calculation Day.


 


The
“Coupon Threshold Level” with respect to the S&P 500 Index is 1954.666, which is equal to 70% of its Starting
Level, with respect to the Russell 2000 Index is 1106.7364, which is equal to 70% of its Starting Level, and with respect to the

The
“Closing Level” with respect to each Index on any Trading Day means the official closing level of that Index
reported by the relevant Index Sponsor on such Trading Day, as obtained by the Calculation Agent on such Trading Day from the
licensed third-party market data vendor contracted by the Calculation Agent at such time; in particular, taking into account the
decimal precision and/or rounding convention employed by such licensed third-party market data vendor on such date, subject to
the provisions set forth below under “—Market Disruption Events,” “—Adjustments to an Index”
and “—Discontinuance of an Index.”


 


“Index
Sponsor” shall mean the sponsor or publisher of an Index.


 


“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

The
“Calculation Days” shall be the 5th day of each March, June, September and December, commencing
June 2019 and ending December 2026, and the Final Calculation Day. If any such day is not a Trading Day with respect to any Index,
such Calculation Day for each Index will be postponed to the next succeeding day that is a Trading Day with respect to each Index.
A Calculation Day for an Index is also subject to postponement due to the occurrence of a Market Disruption Event (as defined
below) with respect to such Index on such Calculation Day. The “Final Calculation Day” is March 5, 2027. If
a Market Disruption Event occurs or is continuing with respect to an Index on any Calculation Day, then such Calculation Day for
such Index will be postponed to the first succeeding Trading Day for such Index on which a Market Disruption Event for such Index
has not occurred and is not continuing; however, if such first 


 



    4 


     


    

 


succeeding
Trading Day has not occurred as of the eighth Trading Day for such Index after the originally scheduled Calculation Day, that
eighth Trading Day shall be deemed to be the Calculation Day for such Index. If a Calculation Day has been postponed eight Trading
Days for an Index after the originally scheduled Calculation Day and a Market Disruption Event occurs or is continuing with respect
to such Index on such eighth Trading Day, the Calculation Agent will determine the Closing Level of such Index on such eighth
Trading Day in accordance with the formula for and method of calculating the Closing Level of such Index last in effect prior
to commencement of the Market Disruption Event, using the closing price (or, with respect to any relevant security, if a Market
Disruption Event has occurred with respect to such security, its good faith estimate of the value of such security at (i) with
respect to the S&P 500 Index or the Russell 2000 Index, the Scheduled Closing Time of the Relevant Stock Exchange for such
security or, if earlier, the actual closing time of the regular trading session of such Relevant Stock Exchange or (ii) with respect
to the EURO STOXX 50 Index, the time at which the official Closing Level of such Index is calculated and published by the relevant
Index Sponsor) on such date of each security included in such Index. As used herein, “closing price” means,
with respect to any security on any date, the Relevant Stock Exchange traded or quoted price of such security as of (i) with respect
to the S&P 500 Index or the Russell 2000 Index, the Scheduled Closing Time of the Relevant Stock Exchange for such security
or, if earlier, the actual closing time of the regular trading session of such Relevant Stock Exchange or (ii) with respect to
the EURO STOXX 50 Index, the time at which the official Closing Level of such Index is calculated and published by the relevant
Index Sponsor. Notwithstanding the postponement of a Calculation Day for an Index due to a Market Disruption Event with respect
to such Index on such Calculation Day, the originally scheduled Calculation Day will remain the Calculation Day for any Index
not affected by a Market Disruption Event on such day.


 


“Calculation
Agent Agreement” shall mean the Calculation Agent Agreement dated as of May 18, 2018 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 whether this Security will be automatically called prior to stated maturity and whether a Contingent
Coupon Payment will be made, the Call Price, if any, and the Maturity Payment Amount, if any, 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.


 


Certain
Definitions 


 


A
“Trading Day” with respect to the S&P 500 Index or the Russell 2000 Index means a day, as determined by
the Calculation Agent, on which (i) the Relevant Stock Exchanges with respect to each security underlying such Index are scheduled
to be open for trading for their respective regular trading sessions and (ii) each Related Futures or Options Exchange with respect
to such Index is scheduled to be open for trading for its regular trading session.


 



    5 


     


    

 





A
“Trading Day” with respect to the EURO STOXX 50 Index means a day, as determined by the Calculation Agent,
on which (i) the relevant Index Sponsor is scheduled to publish the level of the EURO STOXX 50 Index and (ii) each Related Futures
or Options Exchange with respect to the EURO STOXX 50 Index is scheduled to be open for trading for its regular trading session.


 


The
“Relevant Stock Exchange” for any security underlying an Index means the primary exchange or quotation system
on which such security is traded, as determined by the Calculation Agent.


 


The
“Related Futures or Options Exchange” for an Index means an 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
such Index.


 


Adjustments
to an Index


 


If
at any time the method of calculating an Index or a Successor Equity Index, or the closing level thereof, is changed in a material
respect, or if an Index or a Successor Equity Index is in any other way modified so that such index does not, in the opinion of
the Calculation Agent, fairly represent the level of such index had those changes or modifications not been made, then the Calculation
Agent will, at the close of business in New York, New York, on each date that the closing level of such index is to be calculated,
make such calculations and adjustments as, in the good faith judgment of the Calculation Agent, may be necessary in order to arrive
at a level of an index comparable to such Index or Successor Equity Index as if those changes or modifications had not been made,
and the Calculation Agent will calculate the closing level of such Index or Successor Equity Index with reference to such index,
as so adjusted. Accordingly, if the method of calculating an Index or Successor Equity Index is modified so that the level of
such index is a fraction or a multiple of what it would have been if it had not been modified (e.g., due to a split or
reverse split in such equity index), then the Calculation Agent will adjust such Index or Successor Equity Index in order to arrive
at a level of such index as if it had not been modified (e.g., as if the split or reverse split had not occurred).


 


Discontinuance
of an Index


 


If
an Index Sponsor discontinues publication of an Index, and such 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 such 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
for purposes of calculating the Closing Level of such Index on any date of determination. 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.


 


In
the event that an Index Sponsor discontinues publication of an Index prior to, and the discontinuance is continuing on, a 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 such Index in accordance with the formula for and method of calculating such 


 



    6 


     


    

 


Index
last in effect prior to the discontinuance, but using only those securities that comprised such Index immediately prior to that
discontinuance. If a Successor Equity Index is selected or the Calculation Agent calculates a level as a substitute for such Index,
the Successor Equity Index or level will be used as a substitute for such Index for all purposes, including the purpose of determining
whether a Market Disruption Event exists.


 


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


 


Market
Disruption Events 


 


A
“Market Disruption Event” with respect to the S&P 500 Index or the Russell 2000 Index means any of the
following events as determined by the Calculation Agent in its sole discretion:

                                         20% or more of the level of such 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 Stock Exchanges or
                                         otherwise.



 


		(B)	The
                                         occurrence or existence of a material suspension of or limitation imposed on trading
                                         by any Related Futures or Options Exchange or otherwise in futures or options contracts
                                         relating to such Index or any Successor Equity Index on any Related Futures or Options
                                         Exchange 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 the Related
                                         Futures or Options 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 such

                                         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 such Index or any

                                         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 Stock Exchanges on which securities
                                         that then comprise 20% or more of the level of such Index or any Successor Equity Index
                                         are traded or any Related Futures or Options Exchange with respect to such Index or any
                                         Successor Equity Index prior to its Scheduled Closing Time unless the earlier closing
                                         time is announced by the Relevant Stock Exchange or Related Futures or Options Exchange,
                                         as applicable, at least one hour prior to the earlier of (1) the actual closing time

                                         Index fails to open for trading during its regular trading session.



 


For
purposes of determining whether a Market Disruption Event has occurred with respect to the S&P 500 Index or the Russell 2000
Index:


 


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



 


		(2)	the
                                         “Close of Trading” on any Trading Day for such Index or any Successor
                                         Equity Index means the Scheduled Closing Time of the Relevant Stock Exchanges with respect
                                         to the securities underlying such Index or Successor Equity Index on such Trading Day;
                                         provided that, if the actual closing time of the regular trading session of any such
                                         Relevant Stock Exchange is earlier than its Scheduled Closing Time on such Trading Day,

                                         hours; and



 


		(3)	an
                                         “Exchange Business Day” means any Trading Day on which (i) the relevant
                                         Index Sponsor publishes the level of such Index or any Successor Equity Index and (ii)
                                         each Related Futures or Options Exchange is open for trading during its regular trading
                                         session, notwithstanding any Related Futures or Options Exchange closing prior to its

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 April 25, 2018, as amended or supplemented from time to
time (herein called the “Indenture”), among the Company, as issuer, Wells Fargo & Company, as guarantor
(the “Guarantor”) 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 Guarantor,
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 A, of the Company. 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.


 


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

The
Company agrees, to the extent permitted by law, not to voluntarily claim the benefits of any laws concerning usurious rates of

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 or the Guarantor
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. 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
