MEDIUM-TERM NOTE, SERIES K 
 Due Nine Months or More From Date of Issue 
 Notes Linked to a Global ETF
Basket 
 due September 22, 2015 
 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, 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, an amount equal to the Redemption Amount (as defined below) on the Stated Maturity Date, and to pay interest on the Face Amount hereof from March 22, 2012 or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to
which interest has been paid or duly provided for semi-annually on each March 22 and September 22, commencing September 22, 2012 and ending at Maturity (each, an “Interest Payment Date”), at the rate of 3.25% per
annum. The “Initial Stated Maturity Date” shall be September 22, 2015. If no Market Disruption Event (as defined below) occurs or is continuing with respect to a Basket Component (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 a Basket Component 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 with respect to such Basket Component (or, if the Calculation Day is postponed with respect to more
than one Basket Component, three Business Days after the latest postponed Calculation Day) and (ii) the Initial Stated Maturity Date. 
 “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.” 







 Payment of Interest and the Redemption Amount 

The interest so payable on this Security, 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, provided that the
interest payable on the Stated Maturity Date shall be paid to the Person to whom the Redemption Amount is paid. The Regular Record Date for an Interest Payment Date shall be the fifteenth calendar day, whether or not a 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. 
 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 March 22, 2012 and end on and include September 21, 2012. 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; 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. Any payments on this Security at Maturity, including the Redemption Amount, 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, all payments on this Security will be made to the Depositary by wire transfer of immediately available funds.

sum of: (A) 22% of the Component Return of the SPDR S&P MidCap 400 ETF Trust; (B) 15% of the Component Return of the iShares Russell 2000 Index Fund; (C) 42% of the Component Return of the iShares MSCI EAFE Index Fund; and
(D) 21% of the Component Return of the iShares MSCI Emerging Markets Index Fund. 

  
 3 








 The “Component Return” of a Basket Component will be equal to: 

Final Component Price – Initial Component Price 
 Initial Component Price 
     where, 

 

	 	•	 	 the “Initial Component Price” is the Fund Closing Price of such Basket Component on the Pricing Date; and



  

	 	•	 	 the “Final Component Price” will be the Fund Closing Price of such Basket Component on the Calculation Day.



 The Initial Component Prices of the Basket Components are as follows: SPDR S&P MidCap 400 ETF Trust
($182.35); iShares Russell 2000 Index Fund ($83.73); iShares MSCI EAFE Index Fund ($55.80); and iShares MSCI Emerging Markets Index Fund ($43.92). 
 The “Fund Closing Price,” with respect to a Basket Component on any Trading Day, means the product of (i) the Closing Price of one share of such Basket Component (or one unit of any
other security for which a Fund Closing Price must be determined) on such Trading Day and (ii) the Adjustment Factor applicable to such Basket Component on such Trading Day. 

The “Closing Price” with respect to a share of a Basket Component (or one unit of any other security for which a Closing
Price must be determined) on any Trading Day means the price, at the scheduled weekday closing time, without regard to after hours or any other trading outside the regular trading session hours, of the share on the principal United States securities
exchange registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, on which the share (or any such other security) is listed or admitted to trading. 
 The “Adjustment Factor” means, with respect to a share of a Basket Component (or one unit of any other security for which a Fund Closing Price must be determined), 1.0, subject to
adjustment in the event of certain events affecting the shares of such Basket Component. See “Anti-dilution Adjustments Relating To A Basket Component; Alternate Calculation—Anti-dilution Adjustments.” 

The “Capped Value” is 126% of the Face Amount of this Security.

The “Participation Rate” is 100%. 
 “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 a Basket Component
means a day, as determined by the Calculation Agent, on which (i) the Relevant Exchange (as defined below) with respect to such Basket Component is open for trading for its regular trading session and (ii) the Relevant Exchange on which
futures or options contracts related to such Basket Component or any successor thereto, if applicable, are traded, are open for trading for their respective regular trading sessions. 

  
 4 








 The “Calculation Day” shall be September 15, 2015. If such day is not
a Trading Day with respect to any Basket Component, the Calculation Day for such Basket Component will be postponed to the next succeeding day that is a Trading Day for such Basket Component. The Calculation Day is also subject to postponement due
to the occurrence of a Market Disruption Event. If a Market Disruption Event occurs or is continuing with respect to a Basket Component on the Calculation Day, such Calculation Day for such Basket Component will be postponed to the first succeeding
Trading Day on which a Market Disruption Event for such Basket Component has not occurred and is not continuing. If such first succeeding Trading Day has not occurred as of the eighth scheduled Trading Day after the scheduled Calculation Day for
such Basket Component, that eighth scheduled Trading Day shall be deemed the Calculation Day. If the Calculation Day has been postponed eight scheduled Trading Days after the scheduled Calculation Day for such Basket Component and such eighth
scheduled Trading Day is not a Trading Day, or if a Market Disruption Event occurs or is continuing with respect to the Basket Component on such eighth scheduled Trading Day, the Calculation Agent will determine its good faith estimate of the
Closing Price of such Basket Component on such eighth scheduled Trading Day. Notwithstanding a postponement of a Calculation Day for a particular Basket Component due to a non-Trading Day or Market Disruption Event with respect to such Basket
Component, the originally scheduled Calculation Day will remain the Calculation Day for any Basket Component not affected by a non-Trading Day or Market Disruption Event. See “—Market Disruption Events.”

that has entered into the Calculation Agent Agreement with the Company providing for, among other things, the determination of the Ending Price 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. 

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

 

	 	(A)	A material suspension or material limitation of trading or the unavailability of the Closing Price of the shares of such Basket Component or any Successor Fund (as
defined below under “Anti-dilution Adjustments Relating To A Basket Component; Alternate Calculation—Liquidation Events”) has been imposed by the Relevant Exchange on which such shares are traded, at any time during the one-hour
period preceding the Close of Trading on such day, whether by reason of movements in price exceeding limits permitted by such Relevant Exchange or otherwise. 


  
 5 









	 	(B)	A material suspension or material limitation of trading has occurred on that day, in each case during the one-hour period preceding the Close of Trading in options or
futures contracts related to such Basket Component or any Successor Fund on the Relevant Exchange on which those options or futures contracts are traded, whether by reason of movements in price exceeding levels permitted by the Relevant Exchange, or
otherwise. 

  

	 	(C)	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, the shares of such Basket Component or any Successor Fund at any time during the one-hour period that precedes the Close of Trading on that day. 


 

	 	(D)	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, the futures or options contracts relating to such Basket Component or any Successor Fund on the Relevant Exchange on which those futures or options contracts are traded, at any time during the one-hour period that precedes the Close of
Trading on that day. 

  

	 	(E)	The closure of the Relevant Exchange on which the shares of such Basket Component or any Successor Fund or the Relevant Exchange on which futures or options contracts
relating to such Basket Component or any Successor Fund are traded prior to its scheduled Close of Trading unless the earlier closing time is announced by such Relevant Exchange at least one hour prior to the earlier of (1) the actual closing
time for the regular trading session on such Relevant Exchange and (2) the submission deadline for orders to be entered into such Relevant Exchange for execution at the Close of Trading on that day. 


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

 

	 	(1)	“Close of Trading” means in respect of any Relevant Exchange, the scheduled weekday closing time on a day on which such Relevant Exchange is scheduled
to be open for trading for its respective regular trading session, without regard to after hours or any other trading outside the regular trading session hours; and 


 

	 	(2)	“Relevant Exchange” for any share, option or option contract means the primary exchange or quotation system on which such share, option or option
contract is traded, as determined by the Calculation Agent.

 Anti-dilution Adjustments Relating To A Basket Component; Alternate Calculation 

Anti-dilution Adjustments 
 The Calculation Agent, in its sole discretion, may adjust the Adjustment Factor as a result of certain events related to a Basket Component or any Successor Fund, as applicable, which occur during the
term of this Security. Such events include, but are not limited to, the following: 
 (A) Stock Splits and
Reverse Stock Splits  
 If a stock split or reverse stock split has occurred, then once such split has become effective,
the Adjustment Factor will be adjusted to equal the product of the prior Adjustment Factor and the number of securities which a holder of one share (or other applicable security) of such Basket Component before the effective date of such stock split
or reverse stock split would have owned or been entitled to receive immediately following the applicable effective date. 
 (B) Stock Dividends  
 If a (i) stock dividend (i.e., issuance of
additional shares (or other applicable security) by a Basket Component) that is given ratably to all holders of record of shares (or other applicable security) of a Basket Component or (ii) distribution of shares (or other applicable security)
of a Basket Component has occurred, then once the dividend has become effective and the shares (or other applicable security) of such Basket Component are trading ex-dividend, the Adjustment Factor will be adjusted on the ex-dividend date to equal
the prior Adjustment Factor plus the product of the prior Adjustment Factor and the number of shares (or other applicable security) of such Basket Component which a holder of one share (or other applicable security) of such Basket Component before
the date the dividend became effective and the shares (or other applicable security) of such Basket Component traded ex-dividend would have owned or been entitled to receive immediately following that date; provided, however, that no adjustment will
be made for a distribution for which the number of securities of such Basket Component paid or distributed is based on a fixed cash equivalent value, unless such distribution is an Extraordinary Dividend as defined and discussed below. 

(C) Extraordinary Dividends  
 If an Extraordinary Dividend (as defined below) has occurred, then on the ex-dividend date, the Adjustment Factor will be adjusted to equal the product of the prior Adjustment Factor and a fraction, the
numerator of which is the Closing Price per share (or other applicable security) of such Basket Component on the Trading Day preceding the ex-dividend date, and the denominator of which is the amount by which the Closing Price per share (or other
applicable security) of such Basket Component on the Trading Day preceding the ex-dividend date exceeds the Extraordinary Dividend Amount (as defined below). 

  
 7 








 For purposes of determining whether an Extraordinary Dividend has occurred: 

 

	 	(1)	“Extraordinary Dividend” means, with respect to a cash dividend or other distribution with respect to the shares (or other applicable security) of such
Basket Component, a dividend or other distribution which exceeds the immediately preceding non-Extraordinary Dividend on the securities of such Basket Component (as adjusted for any subsequent corporate event requiring an adjustment hereunder, such
as a stock split or reverse stock split) by an amount equal to at least 10% of the Closing Price of such Basket Component on the Trading Day preceding the ex-dividend date with respect to the Extraordinary Dividend (the “ex-dividend
date”); and 

  

	 	(2)	“Extraordinary Dividend Amount” with respect to an Extraordinary Dividend for the securities of such Basket Component will equal:


  

	 	•	 	 in the case of cash dividends or other distributions that constitute regular dividends, the amount per share (or other applicable security) of such
Basket Component of that Extraordinary Dividend minus the amount per share (or other applicable security) of the immediately preceding non-Extraordinary Dividend for that share (or other applicable security) of such Basket Component; or



  

	 	•	 	 in the case of cash dividends or other distributions that do not constitute regular dividends, the amount per share (or other applicable security) of
such Basket Component of that Extraordinary Dividend. 


 To the extent an Extraordinary Dividend is not paid in
cash, the value of the non-cash component will be determined by the Calculation Agent. A distribution on the securities of such Basket Component described below under the sections entitled “—Other Distributions” and
“—Reorganization Events” below that also constitute an Extraordinary Dividend will only cause an adjustment pursuant to those sections. 
 (D) Other Distributions  
 If a Basket Component declares or makes a
distribution to all holders of the shares (or other applicable security) of such Basket Component of any class of its capital stock, evidences of its indebtedness or other non-cash assets, including, but not limited to, transferable rights and
warrants, then, in each of these cases, the Adjustment Factor will equal the product of the prior Adjustment Factor and a fraction, the numerator of which will be the Closing Price per share (or other applicable security) of such Basket Component,
and the denominator of which will be the Closing Price per share (or other applicable security) of such Basket 

  
 8 








 
Component, less the fair market value, as determined by the Calculation Agent, as of the time the adjustment is effected of the portion of the capital shares, assets, evidences of indebtedness,
rights or warrants so distributed or issued applicable to one share (or other applicable security) of such Basket Component. 

(E) Reorganization Events  
 If a Basket Component, or any Successor Fund, is subject to a merger, combination, consolidation or statutory exchange of securities with another exchange traded fund, and such Basket Component is not the
surviving entity, then, on or after the date of such event, the Calculation Agent shall, in its sole discretion, make an adjustment to the Adjustment Factor or the method of determining the Redemption Amount or any other terms of this Security as
the Calculation Agent determines appropriate to account for the economic effect on this Security of such event (including adjustments to account for changes in volatility, expected dividends, stock loan rate or liquidity relevant to this Security),
and determine the effective date of that adjustment. If the Calculation Agent determines that no adjustment that it could make will produce a commercially reasonable result, then the Calculation Agent may deem such event a Liquidation Event (as
defined below). 
 Liquidation Events 
 If a Basket Component is de-listed, liquidated or otherwise terminated (a “Liquidation Event”), and a successor or substitute exchange traded fund exists that the Calculation Agent
determines, in its sole discretion, to be comparable to such Basket Component, then, upon the Calculation Agent’s notification of that determination to the Trustee and the Company, any subsequent Fund Closing Price for such Basket Component
will be determined by reference to the Fund Closing Price of such successor or substitute exchange traded fund (such exchange traded fund being referred to herein as a “Successor Fund”). 

Upon any selection by the Calculation Agent of a Successor Fund, the Company will cause notice to be given to Holder of this Security.

 If a Basket Component undergoes a Liquidation Event prior to, and such Liquidation Event is continuing on, the date that the
Fund Closing Price of such Basket Component is to be determined and the Calculation Agent determines that no Successor Fund is available at such time, then the Calculation Agent will, in its discretion, calculate the Fund Closing Price for such
Basket Component on such date by a computation methodology that the Calculation Agent determines will as closely as reasonably possible replicate such Basket Component. 
 If a Successor Fund is selected or the Calculation Agent calculates the Fund Closing Price as a substitute for a Basket Component, such Successor Fund or Fund Closing Price will be used as a substitute
for such Basket Component for all purposes, including for purposes of determining whether a Market Disruption Event exists. 

  
 9 








 If at any time the method of calculating a Basket Component or a Successor Fund, or the
related Underlying Index, is changed in a material respect, or if a Basket Component or a Successor Fund is in any other way modified so that such Basket Component does not, in the opinion of the Calculation Agent, fairly represent the price of the
securities of such Basket Component or such Successor Fund had such changes or modifications not been made, then the Calculation Agent will, at the close of business in New York City on the date that the Fund Closing Price is to be determined, make
such calculations and adjustments as, in the good faith judgment of the Calculation Agent, may be necessary in order to arrive at a Closing Price of an exchange traded fund comparable to such Basket Component or Successor Fund, as the case may be,
as if such changes or modifications had not been made, and calculate the Fund Closing Price and the Redemption Amount with reference to such adjusted Closing Price of such Basket Component or such Successor Fund, as applicable. 

Calculation Agent 

The Calculation Agent will determine the Redemption Amount and the Ending Price. In addition, the Calculation Agent will
(i) determine if adjustments are required to the Fund Closing Price and/or the Adjustment Factor of a Basket Component under the circumstances described in this Security, (ii) if a Basket Component undergoes a Liquidation Event, select a
Successor Fund or, if no Successor Fund is available, determine the Fund Closing Price of such Basket Component, 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 beneficial owner 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 coupon-bearing derivative
contract in respect of the Basket. 
 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
September 22, 2015. This Security is not entitled to any sinking fund. 

  
 10 









 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 or if a Market Disruption Event has occurred or is continuing on that 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. 
 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.

 [Reverse of Note] 
 WELLS FARGO & COMPANY 
 MEDIUM-TERM NOTE, SERIES K

 Due Nine Months or More From Date of Issue 
 Notes Linked to a Global ETF Basket 
 due September 22, 2015

 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
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 

  
 13 









 
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. 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 any Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or
waiver is made upon this Security. 
 Defeasance 
 Section 403 and Article Fifteen of the Indenture and the provisions of clause (ii) of Section 401(1)(B) of the Indenture, relating to defeasance at any time of (a) the entire
indebtedness on this Security and (b) certain restrictive covenants and certain Events of Default, upon compliance by the Company with certain conditions set forth therein, shall not apply to this Security. The remaining provisions of
Section 401 of the Indenture shall apply to this Security. 
 Authorized Denominations 

This Security is issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of $1,000 or any amount in excess thereof which is an
integral multiple of $1,000. 
 Registration of Transfer 
 Upon due presentment for registration of transfer of this Security at the office or agency of the Company in the City of Minneapolis, Minnesota, a new Security or Securities of this series, with the same
terms as this Security, in authorized denominations for an equal aggregate Face Amount will be issued to the transferee in exchange herefor, as provided in the Indenture and subject to the limitations provided therein and to the limitations
described below, without charge except for any tax or other governmental charge imposed in connection therewith. 
 This
Security is exchangeable for definitive Securities in registered form only if (x) the Depositary notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for this Security or if at any time the Depositary ceases to be a
