Principal at Risk Securities Linked to the Lowest Performing of the Energy Select 

Sector SPDR® Fund and the
SPDR® S&P® Oil & Gas Exploration & 

Production ETF due December 17, 2021 

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) 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). The “Initial Stated Maturity Date” shall be December 17, 2021. 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) the third Business Day (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 Fund Closing Price (as defined below) of the Lowest Performing Fund (as defined below) on any of the quarterly
Calculation Days (as defined below) from December 2018 to September 2021, inclusive, is greater than or equal to its Starting Price (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. 

Payment of Contingent Coupon Payments, the Redemption 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 Fund
Closing Price of the Lowest Performing Fund on the related Calculation Day is greater than or equal to its Threshold Price (as defined below). A “Contingent Coupon Payment,” if payable as provided herein, shall be equal to the
product of (i) the Face Amount of this Security, (ii) the Contingent Coupon Rate, and (iii) 90/360. 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 both Funds,
the related Contingent Coupon Payment Date will be three Business Days after the last Calculation Day as postponed. The “Contingent Coupon Rate” is 6.80% per annum. Any Contingent Coupon Payments will be rounded to the nearest cent,
with one-half cent rounded upward. 
 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 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. 

  
 2 

 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
Redemption 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 Redemption 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. 

Definitions Relating to Redemption Amount, the Call Price and Contingent Coupon Payments 

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

	 	•	 	 if the Ending Price of the Lowest Performing Fund on the Final Calculation Day is greater than or equal to its
Threshold Price: the Face Amount; or 

  

	 	•	 	 if the Ending Price of the Lowest Performing Fund on the Final Calculation Day is less than its Threshold
Price: 

  

					
	     Face Amount
	 	  x    	 	Performance Factor of the Lowest Performing

Fund on the Final Calculation Day

 All calculations with respect to the Redemption 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 Redemption Amount will be rounded to the nearest cent, with one-half cent
rounded upward. 
 “Fund” shall mean each of the Energy Select Sector SPDR® Fund and the SPDR® S&P® Oil & Gas Exploration & Production
ETF. 
 The “Pricing Date” shall mean December 14, 2017. 

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

  
 3 

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

The “Fund Closing Price” with respect to a Fund on any Trading Day means the product of (i) the Closing
Price of one share of such Fund (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 Fund on such Trading Day. 

The “Closing Price” with respect to a share of a Fund (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 such share on the principal United States
securities exchange registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, on which such share (or any such other security) is listed or admitted to trading. 

The “Adjustment Factor” means, with respect to a share of a Fund (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 Fund. See “Anti-dilution Adjustments Relating To A Fund; Alternate Calculation” below. 

The “Starting Price” with respect to the Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund is $69.24, its Fund Closing Price on
the Pricing Date, and with respect to the SPDR S&P Oil & Gas Exploration & Production ETF is $34.48, its Fund Closing Price on the Pricing Date. 

The “Ending Price” of a Fund will be its Fund Closing Price on the Final Calculation Day. 

The “Threshold Price” with respect to the Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund is $48.468, which is equal to 70% of
its Starting Price, and with respect to the SPDR S&P Oil & Gas Exploration & Production ETF is $24.136, which is equal to 70% of its Starting Price. 

“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. 
 The
“Call Settlement Date” shall be three Business Days after the applicable Calculation Day, as such Calculation Day may be postponed as provided herein. If a Calculation Day is postponed with respect to one or both Funds, the related
Call Settlement Date will be three Business Days after the last Calculation Day as postponed. 
 The “Calculation
Days” shall be the 14th day of each March, June, September and December, commencing March 2018 and ending September 2021, and the Final Calculation Day. If any Calculation Day is not a
Trading Day with respect to either Fund, such Calculation Day for each Fund will be postponed to the next succeeding day that is a Trading Day with respect to each Fund. A Calculation Day for a Fund is also subject to postponement due to the
occurrence of a Market Disruption Event (as defined below) with respect to such Fund on such Calculation Day. If a Market Disruption Event occurs or is continuing with respect to a Fund on any Calculation Day, then such Calculation Day for such Fund
will be postponed to the first 

  
 4 

 
succeeding Trading Day for such Fund on which a Market Disruption Event for such Fund has not occurred and is not continuing; however, if such first succeeding Trading Day has not occurred as of
the eighth Trading Day for such Fund after the originally scheduled Calculation Day, that eighth Trading Day shall be deemed to be the Calculation Day for such Fund. If a Calculation Day has been postponed eight Trading Days for a Fund after the
originally scheduled Calculation Day and a Market Disruption Event occurs or is continuing with respect to such Fund on such eighth Trading Day, the Calculation Agent will determine the Closing Price of such Fund on such eighth Trading Day based on
its good faith estimate of the value of the shares (or other applicable securities) of such Fund as of the Close of Trading (as defined below) on such eighth Trading Day. Notwithstanding a postponement of the Calculation Day for one Fund due to a
Market Disruption Event with respect to such Fund, the originally scheduled Calculation Day will remain the Calculation Day for the other Fund if such other Fund is not affected by a Market Disruption Event. 

The “Final Calculation Day” is December 14, 2021, subject to postponement as provided herein. 

“Calculation Agent Agreement” shall mean the Calculation Agent Agreement dated as of March 18, 2015
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, the Call Price, if any, the
Redemption Amount, if any, and the Contingent Coupon Payments, 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. 
 A “Trading Day” with respect to a Fund means a day, as determined
by the Calculation Agent, on which the Relevant Stock Exchange and each Related Futures or Options Exchange with respect to such Fund or any successor thereto are scheduled to be open for trading for their respective regular trading sessions. 

The “Relevant Stock Exchange” for a Fund means the primary exchange or quotation system on which shares (or
other applicable securities) of such Fund are traded, as determined by the Calculation Agent. 
 The “Related
Futures or Options Exchange” for a Fund 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 such Fund.

 Anti-dilution Adjustments Relating To A Fund; Alternate Calculation 

Anti-dilution Adjustments 

The Calculation Agent will adjust the Adjustment Factor with respect to a Fund as specified below if any of the events
specified below occurs with respect to such Fund and the effective date or ex-dividend date, as applicable, for such event is after the Pricing Date and on or prior to the Final Calculation Day. 

The adjustments specified below do not cover all events that could affect a Fund. The Calculation Agent may, in its sole
discretion, make additional adjustments to any terms of this Security upon the occurrence of other events that affect or could potentially affect the market price of, or shareholder rights in, a Fund, with a view to offsetting, to the extent
practical, any such change, and preserving the relative investment risks of this Security. In addition, the Calculation Agent may, in its sole discretion, make adjustments or a series of adjustments that differ from those described herein if the
Calculation Agent determines that such adjustments do not properly reflect the economic consequences of the events specified herein or would not preserve the relative investment risks of this Security. All determinations made by the Calculation
Agent in making any adjustments to the terms of this Security, including adjustments that are in addition to, or that differ from, those described herein, will be made in good faith and a commercially reasonable manner, with the aim of ensuring an
equitable result. In determining whether to make any adjustment to the terms of this Security, the Calculation Agent may consider any adjustment made by the Options Clearing Corporation or any other equity derivatives clearing organization on
options contracts on a Fund. 
 For any event described below, the Calculation Agent will not be required to adjust the
Adjustment Factor for a Fund unless the adjustment would result in a change to such Adjustment Factor then in effect of at least 0.10%. The Adjustment Factor resulting from any adjustment will be rounded up or down, as appropriate, to the nearest one-hundred thousandth. 
  

	 	(A)	 Stock Splits and Reverse Stock Splits 

If a stock split or reverse stock split has occurred with respect to a Fund, then once such split has become effective, the
Adjustment Factor for such Fund will be adjusted to equal the product of the prior Adjustment Factor for such Fund and the number of securities which a holder of one share (or other applicable security) of such Fund 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 dividend or distribution of shares (or other applicable securities) of a Fund has been made by such Fund ratably to all
holders of record of such shares (or other applicable security), then the Adjustment Factor for such Fund will be adjusted on the ex-dividend date to equal the prior Adjustment Factor for such Fund plus the
product of the prior Adjustment Factor for such Fund and the number of shares (or other applicable security) of such Fund which a holder of 

  
 6 

 
one share (or other applicable security) of such Fund before the ex-dividend date 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 Fund paid or distributed is based on a fixed cash equivalent value. 

 

	 	(C)	 Extraordinary Dividends 

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

For purposes of determining whether an Extraordinary Dividend has occurred: 

 

	 	(1)	 “Extraordinary Dividend” means any cash dividend or distribution (or portion thereof) that
the Calculation Agent determines, in its sole discretion, is extraordinary or special; and 

  

	 	(2)	 “Extraordinary Dividend Amount” with respect to an Extraordinary Dividend for the securities
of a Fund will equal the amount per share (or other applicable security) of such Fund of the applicable cash dividend or distribution that is attributable to the Extraordinary Dividend, as determined by the Calculation Agent in its sole discretion.

 A distribution on the securities of a Fund described below under the section entitled
“—Reorganization Events” below that also constitutes an Extraordinary Dividend will only cause an adjustment pursuant to that “—Reorganization Events” section. 

 

	 	(D)	 Other Distributions 

If a Fund declares or makes a distribution to all holders of the shares (or other applicable security) of such Fund of any non-cash assets, excluding dividends or distributions described under the section entitled “—Stock Dividends” above, then the Calculation Agent may, in its sole discretion, make such adjustment (if
any) to the Adjustment Factor for such Fund as it deems appropriate in the circumstances. If the Calculation Agent determines to make an adjustment pursuant to this paragraph, it will do so with a view to offsetting, to the extent practical, any
change in the economic position of a holder of this Security that results solely from the applicable event. 

  
 7 

	 	(E)	 Reorganization Events 

If a Fund, or any Successor Fund, is subject to a merger, combination, consolidation or statutory exchange of securities with
another exchange traded fund, and such Fund is not the surviving entity (a “Reorganization Event”), then, on or after the date of such event, the Calculation Agent shall, in its sole discretion, make an adjustment to the Adjustment
Factor for such Fund 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, 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 Fund 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 Fund, then, upon the Calculation Agent’s notification of that determination to
the Trustee and the Company, any subsequent Fund Closing Price for such Fund 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”), with such adjustments as the Calculation Agent determines are appropriate to account for the economic effect of such substitution on the holder of this Security. 

If a Fund undergoes a Liquidation Event prior to, and such Liquidation Event is continuing on, the date that any Fund Closing
Price of such Fund 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 Fund on such date by a
computation methodology that the Calculation Agent determines will as closely as reasonably possible replicate such Fund, provided that if the Calculation Agent determines in its discretion that it is not practicable to replicate such Fund
(including but not limited to the instance in which the sponsor of the index underlying such Fund discontinues publication of that index), then the Calculation Agent will calculate the Fund Closing Price for such Fund in accordance with the formula
last used to calculate such Fund Closing Price before such Liquidation Event, but using only those securities that were held by such Fund immediately prior to such Liquidation Event without any rebalancing or substitution of such securities
following such Liquidation Event. 
 If a Successor Fund is selected or the Calculation Agent calculates the Fund Closing
Price as a substitute for a Fund, such Successor Fund or Fund Closing Price will be used as a substitute for such Fund for all purposes, including for purposes of determining whether a Market Disruption Event exists with respect to such Fund. 

If any event is both a Reorganization Event and a Liquidation Event, such event will be treated as a Reorganization Event for
purposes of this Security unless the Calculation Agent 

  
 8 

 
makes the determination referenced in the last sentence of the section entitled “—Anti-dilution Adjustments—Reorganization Events” above. 

Alternate Calculation 

If at any time the method of calculating a Fund or a Successor Fund, or the related index underlying the Fund or Successor
Fund, is changed in a material respect, or if a Fund or a Successor Fund is in any other way modified so that such Fund does not, in the opinion of the Calculation Agent, fairly represent the price of the securities of such Fund or a Successor Fund
had such changes or modifications not been made, then the Calculation Agent may, at the close of business in New York City on the date that any 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 such Fund comparable to such Fund or such Successor Fund, as the case may be, as if such changes or modifications had not been made, and calculate the Fund
Closing Price of such Fund and the amount payable on this Security with reference to such adjusted Closing Price of such Fund or such Successor Fund, as applicable. 

Market Disruption Events 

A “Market Disruption Event” with respect to a Fund means 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 Stock
Exchange or otherwise relating to the shares (or other applicable securities) of such Fund or any Successor Fund on the Relevant Stock Exchange at any time during the one-hour period that ends at the Close of
Trading on such day, whether by reason of movements in price exceeding limits permitted by such Relevant Stock Exchange 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 the shares (or other applicable securities) of such Fund or any Successor Fund 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, shares (or other applicable securities) of such Fund or any Successor Fund on the Relevant Stock Exchange 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 shares (or other applicable securities) of such Fund or any Successor Fund on any

  
 9 

	 	 
Related Futures or Options Exchange at any time during the one-hour period that ends at the Close of Trading on that day. 

 

	 	(E)	 The closure of the Relevant Stock Exchange or any Related Futures or Options Exchange with respect to such
Fund or any Successor Fund 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 for the regular trading session on such Relevant Stock Exchange or Related Futures or Options Exchange, as applicable, and (2) the submission deadline for orders to be entered into the Relevant Stock Exchange or Related
Futures or Options Exchange, as applicable, system for execution at the Close of Trading on that day. 

  

	 	(F)	 The Relevant Stock Exchange or any Related Futures or Options Exchange with respect to such Fund or any
Successor Fund fails to open for trading during its regular trading session. 

 For purposes of
determining whether a Market Disruption Event has occurred with respect to a Fund: 
  

	 	(1)	 “Close of Trading” means the Scheduled Closing Time of the Relevant Stock Exchange with
respect to such Fund or any Successor Fund; and 

  

	 	(2)	 the “Scheduled Closing Time” of the Relevant Stock Exchange or any Related Futures or Options
Exchange on any Trading Day for such Fund or any Successor Fund means the scheduled weekday closing time of such Relevant Stock Exchange or Related Futures or Options Exchange on such Trading Day, without regard to after hours or any other trading
outside the regular trading session hours. 

 Calculation Agent 

The Calculation Agent will determine whether this Security will be automatically called prior to stated maturity, the Call
Price, if any, and the Redemption Amount, if any and the Contingent Coupon Payments, if any. In addition, the Calculation Agent will (i) determine if adjustments are required to the Fund Closing Prices of the Funds under the circumstances
described in this Security, (ii) if a Fund undergoes a Liquidation Event, select a Successor Fund or, if no Successor Fund is available, determine the Fund Closing Price of such Fund 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. 

  
 10 

 Redemption and Repayment 

This Security is not subject to repayment at the option of the Holder hereof prior to December 17, 2021. Except as set
forth above under “Automatic Call,” this Security is not subject to redemption prior to December 17, 2021. 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 two sentences) 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, plus a portion of a final
Contingent Coupon Payment, if any. The Redemption Amount and any final Contingent Coupon Payment will be calculated as though the date of acceleration were the Final Calculation Day. The final Contingent Coupon Payment, if any, will be prorated from
and including the immediately preceding Contingent Coupon Payment Date to but excluding 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.

WELLS FARGO & COMPANY 

MEDIUM-TERM NOTE, SERIES K 

Due Nine Months or More From Date of Issue 

Principal at Risk Securities Linked to the Lowest Performing of the Energy Select 

Sector SPDR® Fund and the
SPDR® S&P® Oil & Gas Exploration & 

Production ETF due December 17, 2021 

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

 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.

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 

  
 13 

 
Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the 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.

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

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 clearing agency registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and a successor depositary is not
appointed within 90 days after the Company receives such notice or becomes aware of such ineligibility, (y) the Company in its sole discretion determines that this Security shall be exchangeable for definitive Securities in registered form

 14 

 
pursuant to the preceding sentence, it shall be exchangeable for definitive Securities in registered form, bearing interest at the same rate, having the same date of issuance, Stated Maturity
Date and other terms and of authorized denominations aggregating a like amount. 
 This Security may not be transferred
except as a whole by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary or by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or another nominee of the Depositary or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor of the Depositary or a nominee of
such successor. Except as provided above, owners of beneficial interests in this Global Security will not be entitled to receive physical delivery of Securities in definitive form and will not be considered the Holders hereof for any purpose under

prescribed, except as otherwise provided in this Security.

			Terms of Agreement
		

		
			1.          Grant of Restricted Share Units. Subject to and upon the terms, conditions, and restrictions set forth in this Agreement and in the Plan, the Company hereby grants to the Grantee as of the Date of Grant, the Restricted Share Units set forth above. Each Restricted Share Unit shall represent the contingent right to receive one Share and shall at all times be equal in value to one Share. The Restricted Share Units shall be credited in a book entry account established for the Grantee until payment in accordance with Section 4 hereof (or forfeiture in accordance with Section 3 hereof).  
		

		
			2.          Vesting of Restricted Share Units.   
		

		
			(a)        In General.  Subject to the Grantee’s compliance with the restrictions of Section 8 hereof, or the terms of the Restrictive Covenants Agreement (as defined in Section 8) or of any separately executed covenant not to compete with the Company, as applicable:
		

		
			(i)        Restricted Share Units.  The number of Restricted Share Units set forth above shall vest on the Vesting Date set forth above, provided that the Grantee shall have remained in the continuous employ of the Company or a Subsidiary through the Vesting Date.  
		

		
			(ii)        Continuous Employment.  For purposes of this Section 2, the continuous employment of the Grantee with the Company and its Subsidiaries shall not be deemed to have been interrupted, and the Grantee shall not be deemed to have ceased to be an employee of the Company and its Subsidiaries, by reason of the transfer of his or her employment among the Company and its Subsidiaries.
		

		
			(b)        Involuntary Termination or Termination for Good Reason.    If, prior to the Vesting Date, the Grantee’s employment with the Company or a Subsidiary is terminated (x) by the Company or a Subsidiary without Cause (as defined in the Plan) or by reason of the Grantee’s Disability (as defined in the long-term disability plan of the Company or a Subsidiary applicable to the Grantee), (y) by the Grantee for Good Reason (as defined in the Plan), or (z) as a result of the Grantee’s death, then, provided that, within forty-five (45) days after such termination, the Grantee (or the Grantee’s estate, beneficiary or other successor) shall have executed and delivered a release of claims in a form provided by the Company and such release of claims shall have become effective and irrevocable in accordance with its terms, the Grantee
		

		
			
		

		
			

		 

		

			 

		

 

		

		
			shall become vested in a  prorated portion of the Restricted Share Units equal to (i) the number of Restricted Share Units that would have become vested had the Grantee remained employed with the Company or a Subsidiary through the Vesting Date, multiplied by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days of continuous employment completed by the Grantee after the Date of Grant and the denominator of which is 713.
		

		
			(c)        Change in Control.  The provisions of Section 21 of the Plan shall apply in the event of a Change in Control.
		

		
			3.          Forfeiture of Restricted Share Units.  
		

		
			(a)        Forfeiture of Unvested Award.  The Restricted Share Units that have not yet vested pursuant to Section 2 (and any right to unpaid Dividend Equivalents under Section 7 with respect to the Restricted Share Units), shall be forfeited automatically without further action or notice if (i) the Grantee ceases to be employed by the Company or a Subsidiary prior to the Vesting Date, except as otherwise provided in Section 2(b) or 2(c), or (ii) the Grantee breaches any of the restrictions of Section 8 hereof, the Restrictive Covenants Agreement or of any separately executed covenant not to compete with the Company, as applicable.
		

		
			(b)        Repayment of Award.  The Restricted Share Units shall be subject to the provisions of Section 20 of the Plan regarding forfeiture and repayment of awards in the event of (i) the Grantee engaging in Detrimental Activity, (ii) the Grantee’s breach of any of the restrictions of Section 8 hereof, the Restrictive Covenants Agreement (as defined herein) or of any separately executed covenant not to compete with the Company, as applicable, or (iii) as provided pursuant to the Company’s Compensation Recovery Policy.  Clause (iii) of the immediately preceding sentence shall be construed as a return of consideration due to your violation of your promises under Section 8 of this Agreement, the Restrictive Covenants Agreement or any separately executed covenant not to compete with the Company, as applicable, and not as a liquidated damages clause.  Nothing contained herein shall eliminate, reduce or compromise (x) the Company’s right to assert that the restrictions provided for in Section 8 of this Agreement, the Restrictive Covenants Agreement or any separately executed covenant not to compete with the Company, as applicable, are fully enforceable as written, or as modified by a court of competent jurisdiction as provided therein, (y) the application of temporary or permanent injunctive relief as a fully appropriate and applicable remedy to enforce the restrictions as provided therein, or (z) the Company’s right to pursue other remedies at law or in equity.  This Section 3(b) shall survive and continue in full force in accordance with its terms and the terms of the Plan notwithstanding any termination of the Grantee’s employment or the payment of the Restricted Share Units as provided herein.
		

		
			4.          Payment of Vested Restricted Share Units.  Except as otherwise provided in Section 14 of this Agreement, the Company shall deliver to the Grantee the Shares underlying the vested Restricted Share Units (if any) within ten (10) days following the Vesting Date (or within seventy (70) days following such earlier date as the Restricted Share Units become vested pursuant to this Agreement).
		

		
			5.          Transferability.  The Restricted Share Units may not be transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated in any manner, or be subject to execution, attachment or similar process, by operation of law or otherwise, unless otherwise provided under the Plan. Any purported transfer or encumbrance in violation of the provisions of this Section 5 shall be void, and the other party to any such purported transaction shall not obtain any rights to or interest in such Restricted Share Units.   
		

		
			6.          Dividend, Voting and Other Rights.  The Grantee shall not possess any incidents of ownership (including, without limitation, dividend and voting rights) in the Shares underlying the Restricted Share Units until such Shares have been delivered to the Grantee in accordance with Section 4 hereof. The
		

		
			
		

		
			

		 

		

			2

		

 

		

		
			obligations of the Company under this Agreement will be merely that of an unfunded and unsecured promise of the Company to deliver Shares in the future, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Plan, and the rights of the Grantee will be no greater than that of an unsecured general creditor. No assets of the Company will be held or set aside as security for the obligations of the Company under this Agreement.  
		

		
			7.          Payment of Dividend Equivalents.  Upon payment of a vested Restricted Share Unit, the Grantee shall be entitled to a cash payment (without interest) equal to the aggregate cash dividends declared and payable with respect to one (1) Share for each record date that occurs during the period beginning on the Date of Grant and ending on the date the vested Restricted Share Unit is paid (the “Dividend Equivalent”).  The Dividend Equivalents shall be forfeited to the extent that the underlying Restricted Share Unit is forfeited and shall be paid to the Grantee, if at all, at the same time that the related vested Restricted Share Unit is paid to the Grantee in accordance with Section 4.    
		

		
			8.          Non-Solicitation; Confidentiality; Ownership of Work Product.  In the event that the Grantee is a party to one or more separately executed agreements with the Company, the terms of which restrict (w) the Grantee’s ability to solicit customers of the Company, (x) the Grantee’s ability to solicit employees of the Company, (y) the Grantee’s ability to use or disclose confidential information or trade secrets of the Company, or (z) the ownership of works (collectively, the “Restrictive Covenants Agreement”), then the terms of such applicable restriction or restrictions in the Restrictive Covenants Agreement shall govern in lieu of the corresponding restriction or restrictions set forth in Sections 8(a), 8(b), 8(c) or 8(d) hereof, respectively.  In consideration of, and as a condition to, the Grantee’s employment by the Company, the grant of the Restricted Share Units, a portion of the compensation and other benefits to be paid to the Grantee during such employment, the potential disclosure to the Grantee of Confidential Information (as hereinafter defined) in connection with such employment and other good and valuable consideration, the Grantee and the Company agree as follows:
		

		
			(a)        Non-Solicitation of Customers.  During the Grantee’s employment by the Company and for one (1) year after the date the Grantee’s employment ends for any reason (the “Restricted Period”), the Grantee hereby covenants and agrees that the Grantee shall not (in a capacity where the Grantee could use specialized knowledge, training, skill or expertise, Confidential Information (as defined herein), or customer contacts or information obtained from the Company to the detriment of the Company), either directly or indirectly, individually, on behalf of or in concert with others, or as an owner, a shareholder, partner, director, officer, employee, agent or advisor of any business or entity, undertake or engage in any of the following activities without the prior written consent of the Company: solicit, call on or in any manner cause or attempt to cause any Customer (as defined herein) to divert, terminate, limit, modify or fail to enter into any existing or potential business relationship with the Company.  For purposes of this Section 8(a), “Customer” shall mean any customer or client of the Company that (i) the Grantee solicited during the 12-month period prior to termination of the Grantee’s employment with the Company, (ii) the Grantee knows to have done business with the Company during the 12-month period prior to termination of the Grantee’s employment, or (iii) the Grantee had been provided or had access to Confidential Information during the Grantee’s employment with the Company. 
		

		
			 
		

		
			(b)        Non-Solicitation of Employees.  During the Restricted Period, the Grantee hereby covenants and agrees that the Grantee shall not (either directly or indirectly, individually, on behalf of or in concert with others, or as an owner, shareholder, partner, director, officer, employee, agent or advisor of any business or entity) solicit, recruit, induce, entice, endeavor or assist in any effort to cause any person employed by the Company to end such person’s employment with the Company (whether or not such person would commit a breach of contract by accepting such other employment).
		

		
			
		

		
			

		 

		

			3

		

 

		

		
			 
		

		
			(c)        Confidentiality.  
		

		
			 
		

		
			 (i)        The Grantee acknowledges that in the course of the Grantee’s employment by the Company,  the Grantee will be exposed to considerable proprietary, confidential and trade secret information relating to the  business and  operations of the Company.  The Grantee understands that the Company has expended, and will continue to expend time, money, and effort to develop and maintain its confidential, proprietary and trade secret information which, if misused or disclosed, could be harmful to the Company’s business and could cause the Company to lose its competitive edge in the marketplace.  The Grantee understands that the Company desires to protect its business and to avoid competition with the Grantee in the event that the Grantee ever leaves the employ of the Company, whether voluntarily or involuntarily.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(ii)        During the Grantee’s employment by the Company, and after termination of the Grantee’s employment with the Company, for any reason, whether voluntary or involuntary, the Grantee will hold in a fiduciary capacity for the benefit of the Company all information, knowledge or data relating to the Company or any of its businesses which the Company considers to be proprietary, trade secret or confidential that the Grantee obtains or has previously obtained during the Grantee’s employment by the Company and that is not public knowledge (other than as a result of the Grantee’s violation of this provision), including but not limited to the Company’s technology, business plans, business processes, methods of operations, customer information, including contacts, preferences, requirements, pricing, and other customer information, vendor information, financial information, pricing information and strategies,  and other business relationships (“Confidential Information”). The Grantee will not directly or indirectly use any Confidential Information for any purpose not associated with the activities of the Company, or communicate, divulge or disseminate Confidential Information to any person or entity not authorized by the Company to receive it at any time during or after the Grantee’s employment with the Company, except with the prior written consent of the Company or as otherwise required by law or legal process.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(iii)        Upon the request of the Company and, in any event, upon the termination of the Grantee’s employment with the Company, the Grantee shall deliver to the Company all property in the Grantee’s possession or control belonging to the Company, including but not limited to all keys, computers, credit cards, telephones, office equipment, software, and all Confidential Information of the Company.  The Grantee shall return all such information, including all memoranda, notes, records, manuals, files or other documents in any form whatsoever (including information contained in computer or other electronic memory or on any computer or electronic storage device), including all copies, pertaining to the performance of the Grantee’s services for the Company, the business of the Company, whether made or compiled by the Grantee or provided to or obtained by the Grantee at any time during the Grantee’s employment with the Company.  If the Company requests, the Grantee agrees to provide written confirmation that the Grantee has returned all such materials consistent with this provision.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(iv)        The restrictions stated in this Section 8 are in addition to and not in lieu of protections afforded to trade secrets and confidential information under Applicable Laws.   Nothing in this Agreement is intended to or shall be interpreted as diminishing or otherwise limiting the Company’s right under Applicable Laws to protect its trade secrets and confidential information.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(d)        Ownership of Work Product.  
		

		
			 
		

		
			(i)        The Company shall own all Work Product (as defined herein).  All Work Product shall be considered work made for hire by the Grantee and owned by the Company.  The Grantee hereby irrevocably relinquishes for the benefit of the Company any moral rights in and to the Work Product recognized by Applicable Law.  If any of the Work Product may not, by operation of law, be considered work made for hire by the Grantee for the Company, or if ownership of all right, title, and interest in and to

			the intellectual property rights therein shall not otherwise vest exclusively in the Company, the Grantee hereby agrees to assign, and upon creation thereof automatically assigns, without further consideration, the ownership of all trade secrets, registered and unregistered copyrights under United States and international law, copyrightable material or works, patents, patentable inventions and other intellectual property rights therein to the Company, its successors and assigns.  The Company shall have the right to obtain and hold in its own name copyright registrations, trademark registrations, patents and any other protection available in the foregoing.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(ii)        The Grantee agrees to perform, upon the reasonable request of the Company, during or after employment such further acts as may be necessary or desirable to transfer, perfect, and defend the Company’s ownership of the Work Product, including but not limited to: (A) executing, acknowledging, and delivering any requested affidavits and documents of assignment and conveyance; (B) assisting in the preparation, prosecution, procurement, maintenance and enforcement of all copyrights and, if applicable, patents with respect to the Work Product in any countries; (C) providing testimony in connection with any proceeding affecting the right, title, or interest of the Company in any Work Product; and (D) performing any other acts deemed necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement.  The Company shall reimburse any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Grantee at the Company’s request in connection with the foregoing, including (unless the Grantee is otherwise being compensated at the time) a reasonable and pre-agreed per diem or hourly fee for services rendered following termination of the Grantee’s employment.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(iii)        For purposes of this Section 8, “Work Product” means all intellectual property rights including all trade secrets, registered and unregistered copyrights under U.S. and international law, copyrightable material or works, patents, patentable inventions, discoveries and improvements, and other intellectual property rights, in any technology software, data files documentation, or other work product that relates to the business and interests of the Company and that the Grantee conceives, develops, creates or delivers to the Company at any time during the Grantee’s employment with the Company.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(e)        Miscellaneous.  
		

		
			 
		

		
			(i)        The Grantee acknowledges that the restrictions, prohibitions and other provisions in this Section 8 are reasonable, fair and equitable in scope, terms and duration, and are necessary to protect the legitimate business interests of the Company.  The terms and provisions of this Section 8 are intended to be separate and divisible provisions and if, for any reason, any one or more of them is held to be invalid or unenforceable, neither the validity nor the enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement shall thereby be affected.  It is the intention of the parties to this Agreement that the potential restrictions on the Grantee imposed by Sections 8(a) and (b) be reasonable in scope and in all other respects.  If for any reason any court of competent jurisdiction shall find any provisions of this Section 8 unreasonable in scope or otherwise, the Grantee and the Company agree that the restrictions and prohibitions contained herein may be modified by a court of competent jurisdiction and shall be effective to the fullest extent allowed under Applicable Law in such jurisdiction.  The Grantee agrees to disclose the existence of this Agreement to any subsequent employer.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(ii)        The Grantee hereby agrees that any remedy at law for any breach or threatened breach of the provisions of this Section 8 will be inadequate and that the Company will be entitled to injunctive relief in addition to any other remedy the Company might have under this Agreement.  The Grantee hereby expressly acknowledges that the harm which might result to the Company’s business as a result of any noncompliance by the Grantee with the provisions of this Section 8 would be largely irreparable.  The parties agree that if the Company pursues legal action to enforce the terms and conditions
		

		
			
		

		
			

		 

		

			5

		

 

		

		
			of this Section 8 and obtains all or part of the relief sought, the Grantee shall be responsible for the reasonable attorney’s fees and costs of the Company in bringing such action.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(iii)        Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or the Plan, the rights and obligations of the parties hereto, and any claims or disputes relating to this Section 8 shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas without giving effect to the principles of conflict of laws thereof.  Each party agrees that any action arising out of or relating to this Section 8 shall be brought exclusively in the state courts located in Dallas County, Texas and the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas (Dallas Division), accepts for itself and in respect of its property, generally and unconditionally, the jurisdiction of those courts, and irrevocably waives any objection, including, without limitation, any objection to the laying of venue or based on the grounds of forum non conveniens, which it may now or hereafter have to the bringing of any action in those jurisdictions.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(iv)        For purposes of this Section 8, the term “Company” shall be deemed to include Global Power Equipment Group Inc., its Subsidiaries and affiliates, and all of their respective successors and assigns.
		

		
			9.          No Employment Contract.  Nothing contained in this Agreement shall confer upon the Grantee any right with respect to continuance of employment by the Company and its Subsidiaries, nor limit or affect in any manner the right of the Company and its Subsidiaries to terminate the employment or adjust the compensation of the Grantee, in each case with or without Cause.
		

		
			10.        Relation to Other Benefits.  Any economic or other benefit to the Grantee under this Agreement or the Plan shall not be taken into account in determining any benefits to which the Grantee may be entitled under any profit-sharing, retirement or other benefit or compensation plan maintained by the Company or a Subsidiary and shall not affect the amount of any life insurance coverage available to any beneficiary under any life insurance plan covering employees of the Company or a Subsidiary.   
		

		
			11.        Taxes and Withholding.  The Grantee is responsible for any federal, state, local or other taxes with respect to the Restricted Share Units and the Dividend Equivalents.  The Company does not guarantee any particular tax treatment or results in connection with the grant or vesting of the Restricted Share Units, the delivery of Shares or the payment of Dividend Equivalents.  To the extent the Company or any Subsidiary is required to withhold any federal, state, local, foreign or other taxes in connection with the delivery of Shares under this Agreement, then, except as otherwise provided below, the Company or Subsidiary (as applicable) shall retain a number of Shares otherwise deliverable hereunder with a value equal to the required withholding (based on the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date of delivery); provided that in no event shall the value of the Shares retained exceed the minimum amount of taxes required to be withheld or such other amount that will not result in a negative accounting impact. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the Grantee may elect, on a form provided by the Company and subject to any terms and conditions imposed by the Company, to pay or provide for payment of the required tax withholding.  If the Company or any Subsidiary is required to withhold any federal, state, local or other taxes at any time other than upon delivery of the Shares under this Agreement, then the Company or Subsidiary (as applicable) shall have the right in its sole discretion to (a) require the Grantee to pay or provide for payment of the required tax withholding, or (b) deduct the required tax withholding from any amount of salary, bonus, incentive compensation or other amounts otherwise payable in cash to the Grantee (other than deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code).   If the Company or any Subsidiary is required to withhold any federal, state, local or other taxes with respect to Dividend Equivalents, then the Company or Subsidiary (as applicable) shall have the right in its sole discretion to reduce the cash payment related to the Dividend Equivalent by the applicable tax withholding.
		

		
			
		

		
			

		 

		

			6

		

 

		

		
			12.        Adjustments.  The number and kind of shares of stock deliverable pursuant to the Restricted Share Units are subject to adjustment as provided in Section 16 of the Plan.   
		

		
			13.        Compliance with Law.  The Company shall make reasonable efforts to comply with all applicable federal and state securities laws and listing requirements with respect to the Restricted Share Units; provided that, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, and only to the extent permitted under Section 409A of the Code, the Company shall not be obligated to deliver any Shares pursuant to this Agreement if the delivery thereof would result in a violation of any such law or listing requirement.
		

		
			14.        Section 409A of the Code.  It is intended that the Restricted Share Units and any Dividend Equivalents provided pursuant to this Agreement shall be exempt from, or comply with, the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, and this Agreement shall be interpreted, administered and governed in accordance with such intent.  To the extent necessary to give effect to such intent, the Grantee’s termination of employment shall mean, for purposes of this Agreement, the Grantee’s “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code.  In particular, it is intended that the Restricted Share Units and any Dividend Equivalents shall be exempt from Section 409A of the Code, to the maximum extent possible, pursuant to the “short-term deferral” exception thereto.  However, to the extent that the Restricted Share Units or any Dividend Equivalents constitute a deferral of compensation subject to the requirements of Section 409A of the Code (for example, because the Grantee’s governing employment agreement defines “Good Reason” in a manner such that the Grantee’s termination of employment for Good Reason would not be treated as an involuntary separation from service for purposes of Section 409A of the Code), then the following rules shall apply, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary: 
		

		
			(a)          The Company will deliver the Shares underlying any Restricted Share Units that become vested in accordance with Section 2(b) or 2(c) of this Agreement and pay any Dividend Equivalents with respect to those vested Restricted Share Units within seventy (70) days after the first to occur of (i) the Vesting Date; (ii) the occurrence of a Change in Control that is also a “change in the ownership,” a “change in the effective control,” or a “change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets” of the Company within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code; or (iii) the Grantee’s “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code; and
		

		
			(b)        If the Restricted Share Units (and any related Dividend Equivalents) become payable as a result of the Grantee’s separation from service (other than as a result of the Grantee’s death) and the Grantee is a “specified employee” at that time within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code (as determined pursuant to the Company’s policy for identifying specified employees), the Company will deliver the Shares underlying the vested Restricted Share Units and pay any related Dividend Equivalents to the Grantee on the first business day that is at least six months after the date of the Grantee’s separation from service (or upon the Grantee’s death if the Grantee dies before the end of that six-month period).
		

		
			15.        Amendments.  Subject to the terms of the Plan, the Committee may modify this Agreement upon written notice to the Grantee. Any amendment to the Plan shall be deemed to be an amendment to this Agreement to the extent that the amendment is applicable hereto.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment of the Plan or this Agreement shall adversely affect in a material way the rights of the Grantee under this Agreement without the Grantee’s consent unless the Committee determines, in good faith, that such amendment is required for the Agreement to either be exempt from the application of, or comply with, the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, or as otherwise may be provided in the Plan.  
		

		
			16.        Severability.  In the event that one or more of the provisions of this Agreement shall be invalidated for any reason by a court of competent jurisdiction, any provision so invalidated shall be deemed

			to be separable from the other provisions hereof, and the remaining provisions hereof shall continue to be valid and fully enforceable.
		

		
			17.        Relation to Plan.  This Agreement is subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan. Except with respect to the provisions of the Restrictive Covenants Agreement and of any separately executed covenant not to compete with the Company expressly referenced herein, this Agreement and the Plan contain the entire agreement and understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter contained in this Agreement, and supersede all prior written or oral communications, representations and negotiations in respect thereto. Except as otherwise provided in Section 8(e)(iii) hereof, in the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of this Agreement and the Plan, the Plan shall govern.  The Committee acting pursuant to the Plan, as constituted from time to time, shall, except as expressly provided otherwise herein, have the right to determine any questions that arise in connection with the grant of the Restricted Share Units.
		

		
			18.        Successors and Assigns.  Without limiting Section 5, the provisions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the successors, administrators, heirs, legal representatives and assigns of the Grantee, and the successors and assigns of the Company.
		

		
			19.        Governing Law.  Except as otherwise provided in Section 8 hereof, the interpretation, performance, and enforcement of this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to the principles of conflict of laws thereof.
		

		
			20.        Use of Grantee’s Information.  Information about the Grantee and the Grantee’s participation in the Plan may be collected, recorded and held, used and disclosed for any purpose related to the administration of the Plan. The Grantee understands that such processing of this information may need to be carried out by the Company and its Subsidiaries and by third-party administrators whether such persons are located within the Grantee’s country or elsewhere, including the United States of America. The Grantee consents to the processing of information relating to the Grantee and the Grantee’s participation in the Plan in any one or more of the ways referred to above.
		

		
			21.        Electronic Delivery.  The Grantee hereby consents and agrees to electronic delivery of any documents that the Company may elect to deliver (including, but not limited to, prospectuses, prospectus supplements, grant or award notifications and agreements, account statements, annual and quarterly reports, and all other forms of communications) in connection with this and any other award made or offered under the Plan. The Grantee understands that, unless earlier revoked by the Grantee by giving written notice to the Senior Vice President, Chief Administrative Officer, General Counsel and Secretary of the Company, this consent shall be effective for the duration of the Agreement. The Grantee also understands that he or she shall have the right at any time to request that the Company deliver written copies of any and all materials referred to above at no charge. The Grantee hereby consents to any and all procedures the Company has established or may establish for an electronic signature system for delivery and acceptance of any such documents that the Company may elect to deliver, and agrees that his or her electronic signature is the same as, and shall have the same force and effect as, his or her manual signature. The Grantee consents and agrees that any such procedures and delivery may be effected by a third party engaged by the Company to provide administrative services related to the Plan.  
		

		
			22.        No Fractional Shares.    Fractional Shares or units will be subject to rounding conventions adopted by the Company from time to time; provided that in no event will the total shares issued exceed the total units granted under this award.

			23.        Legend.  The Grantee understands that each certificate evidencing the Shares underlying any vested Restricted Share Units will bear a legend in substantially the following form, which the Grantee has read and understands: 
		

		
			THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN ISSUED PURSUANT TO A REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”) OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OR OTHER JURISDICTION. THESE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED, TRANSFERRED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF EXCEPT (1) PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT (WHICH TRANSACTION SHALL BE ACCOMPANIED BY AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH TRANSACTION DOES NOT REQUIRE REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR OTHER APPLICABLE LAWS) OR (2) PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT RELATING TO SUCH SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, IN EACH CASE IN ACCORDANCE WITH ALL APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND THE SECURITIES LAWS OF OTHER JURISDICTIONS.
		

		
			If the Shares are issued in uncertificated form, the Grantee agrees that such Shares may not be offered, sold, pledged, transferred or otherwise disposed of except in accordance with the terms set forth in the legend above.
		

		
			IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Agreement as of the Date of Grant.
