Exhibit 10(m)
AMENDMENT 2013-1 TO THE WACHOVIA CORPORATION ELECTIVE
DEFERRAL PLAN 
This Amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Wachovia Corporation Elective Deferral Plan (the “Plan”) is made as of June 21, 2013 (the “Effective Date”).


WHEREAS, Wells Fargo & Company (the “Company”) maintains the Plan;  


WHEREAS, Section 10.3 of the Plan authorizes the Company to amend the Plan at any time; and   


WHEREAS, the Company wishes to amend the Plan to remove the requirement that a Participant must be actively employed by the Company in order to request a “Withdrawal on Account of Unforeseeable Emergency” under Section 6.5 of the Plan; 
            
NOW, THEREFORE, be it resolved, that effective as of the Effective Date, the Plan is hereby amended as follows:


1.         Subparagraph (a) of Section 6.5 “Withdrawal on Account of Unforeseeable Emergency” is hereby deleted and replaced in its entirety with:


“a.       A Participant or Beneficiary may, in the event of an unforeseeable emergency (as defined below) request a withdrawal from his or her Deferral Account by filing a withdrawal request at a time and in a manner determined by the Committee.  Any such withdrawal shall not be for a greater amount than the amount reasonably necessary to satisfy the unforeseeable emergency (including applicable income taxes and penalties reasonably expected to result from the withdrawal), and shall be subject to approval by the Committee.  The Committee shall consider any requests for payment under this provision on a uniform and nondiscriminatory basis and in accordance with the standards of interpretation described in Code section 409A and the Treasury Regulations thereunder.  The circumstances that will constitute an unforeseeable emergency will depend upon the facts of each case, but, in any case, no withdrawal may be made to the extent that such hardship is or may be relieved (i) through reimbursement or compensation by available insurance or otherwise, (ii) by liquidation of the Participant’s assets, to the extent the liquidation of such assets would not itself cause severe financial hardship, or (iii) by the additional compensation that will be available to the Participant as a result of the suspension of Participant deferrals pursuant to subsection (c) below.  The withdrawal shall be paid in the form of a single lump payment five (5) days following the Committee’s approval of the withdrawal, or at such later time as permitted under Code section 409A and the Treasury Regulations thereunder.”


2.         Except as modified by this Amendment, all the terms and provisions of the Plan shall continue in full force and effect.
