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 final scheduled Calculation Day, the
“Stated Maturity Date” shall be the later of (i) three Business Days (as defined below) after the postponed final 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

	 	(i)	the Minimum Return; and 

  

	 	(ii)	



 

  

	 	•	if the Average Ending Level is less than or equal to the Starting Level: the Face Amount plus the Minimum Return. 


“Index” shall mean the S&P 500® Index. 
 The “Pricing Date”
shall mean April 30, 2013. 
 The “Starting Level” is 1597.57, 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 “Average Ending Level” will be the
arithmetic average of the Closing Level of the Index on the Calculation Days. 
 The “Participation Rate” is
100%. 
 The “Minimum Return” is 2% of the Face Amount of this Security. 

“Index Sponsor” shall mean S&P Dow Jones Indices LLC. 

“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 Days” shall be quarterly, on the last Trading Day of each January, April, July and October, commencing July 2013 and ending April 2020. A 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 a 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 applicable Calculation Day. If a 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 Average 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 Average 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, any 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 any 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 Days” 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, whether by reason of movements in price exceeding limits permitted by the Related Exchange or
otherwise. 


  
 4 









	 	(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 Average 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. 
 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
May 7, 2020. 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; provided, however, that the Redemption Amount will be calculated using (i) the Closing Level(s) ascertained on the Calculation Day(s) that occurred before the date of
acceleration and (ii) the Closing Level(s) ascertained on each of the Trading Days leading up to and including the date of acceleration in such number equal to the number of Calculation Days scheduled to occur on or after the date of
acceleration.

 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.

described below, without charge except for any tax or other governmental charge imposed in connection therewith.
