 3.2 Franchisee acknowledges that, as of the date of this Agreement, Franchisee is
current in all financial obligations required by the Franchise Agreements, and that Franchisee must remain current on all financial obligations required under the Franchise Agreements during the term of this Agreement. Franchisee’s failure to
remain current in such financial obligations shall be deemed a breach of this Agreement, entitling the Franchisor to unilaterally and immediately terminate this Agreement. 
 3.3 Franchisee shall execute a written release of liability, in the form of Exhibit C attached hereto, granted in favor of Franchisor as of the date of the Proposal. 

3.4 Franchisee shall provide Franchisor with additional information as reasonably requested by Franchisor.

courses of action which might be in their mutual interest, including, but not limited to, the Proposal. All such discussions, meetings, negotiations and communications in connection therewith relating to the Franchise Agreements and occurring either
before or after the date of this Agreement shall be privileged and without prejudice to any party to this Agreement, and without exception, shall constitute settlement negotiations which shall not be introduced or admissible as evidence in any
administrative, judicial or other proceeding without the express written consent of all of the parties to this Agreement. No action or proceeding of any kind (whether legal or equitable, whether based in tort, contract, or

  
 4 

 
otherwise) may be brought by any of the parties to this Agreement against anyone based upon or relating to the negotiations contemplated by this Agreement. 

3.6 No Obligations to Negotiate. Franchisee acknowledges and agrees that Franchisor does not have any obligation to accept any
Proposal or to modify, amend or enter into negotiations with respect to the Franchise Agreements. No party is obligated to enter into or continue negotiations relating to the Franchise Agreements, and any party, in its sole and absolute discretion,
may terminate negotiations at any time and for any reason if it so elects, without notice or liability to any other party. Franchisee acknowledges that Franchisor would not enter into any negotiations or otherwise consider the Proposal without the
parties entering into this Agreement. 
 3.7 Only Written Agreements and Amendments. The negotiations and discussions by
the parties may be lengthy and complex. While an agreement may be reached on one or more issues which are part of the overall obligations of the Franchisee under the Franchise Agreements that the parties are trying to resolve, the parties agree
that, except for the preliminary agreements contained in this Agreement, none of the parties shall be bound by or rely upon any agreement on any issues until (a) agreement is reached on all issues, and (b) the agreement on all issues has
been reduced to a written agreement, signed and delivered by an authorized representative of each of the parties to this Agreement. Furthermore, in order to avoid any confusion or misunderstanding, each of the parties agrees that this Agreement may
only be amended in a writing, signed by Franchisee and Franchisor. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to impose any duty or obligation whatsoever upon any party to negotiate or enter into a settlement or agreement. 

3.8 No Waivers or Estoppel. No negotiations or other action undertaken pursuant to this Agreement shall constitute a waiver of any
party’s rights under the Franchise Agreements, except to the extent specifically stated in a written agreement complying with the provisions of paragraph 3.7 of this Agreement. Subject to Article VI of this Agreement, in addition, participation
in negotiations concerning the Franchise Agreement shall not restrict, inhibit or estop any party from exercising any right, remedy or power available to such party at any time (whether or not settlement negotiations are continuing) including, but
not limited to, all rights, remedies and powers granted under the Franchise Agreements or otherwise available at law or in equity, or require any delay in the exercise of any such, right, remedy or power. Franchisee also agrees that no failure to
exercise and no delay in exercising any rights, remedies and powers under the Franchise Agreements or otherwise available at law or in equity shall operate as a waiver of any such rights, remedies or powers. 

ARTICLE IV

 4.1 Access to Information. Franchisee and Franchisor including their respective agents and representatives, will cooperate in good faith to conduct physical assessments, appraisals or other
evaluations of the properties and assets, real

representatives reasonable access to inspect and review all such properties and assets and all books, records and information relating thereto at all reasonable times and shall permit them to make copies of all such books, records and information.

CONFIDENTIALITY 

Franchisee and its present and prospective affiliates, and its and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents or advisors (including,
without limitation, attorneys, accountants, consultants, financial advisors and equity holders) (collectively, “Representatives”), agree to treat, with the utmost strictest confidence, and not to disclose in any manner whatsoever, in whole
or in part, the terms of this Agreement, the fact that this Agreement exists, the negotiations and discussions leading up to this Agreement, and any other information relating to this Agreement (collectively, the “Confidential
Information”). The Confidential Information shall not, without the prior written consent of Franchisor, be disclosed to any person or entity other than Franchisee’s Representatives who need to know such information for the purpose of
providing legal or financial advice to the Franchisee (and in those instances only to the extent justifiable by that need), who are informed by Franchisee of the confidential nature of the Confidential Information and who are provided with a copy of
this Article VII and agree to be bound by the terms hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Franchisee and its representatives shall not, under any circumstances, disclose the Confidential Information to any other franchisee of Franchisor or
franchisees of any affiliates of Franchisor. In any event, 

  
 8 

 
Franchisee shall be responsible for any breach of this Agreement by any of Franchisee’s Representatives for prohibited or unauthorized disclosure or use of the Confidential Information, and
Franchisee agrees, at its sole expense, to take all reasonable measures to restrain its Representatives from prohibited or unauthorized disclosure or use of the Confidential Information. In the event that Franchisee or its Representatives are
requested pursuant to, or required by, applicable law or regulation or by legal process to disclose any Confidential Information, Franchisee agrees that it will provide Franchisor with prompt written notice (and copies, if applicable) of such
request or requirement in order to enable Franchisor to seek an appropriate protective order or other remedy, to consult with Franchisee with respect to Franchisor taking steps to resist or narrow the scope of such request or legal process, or to
waive compliance, in whole or in part, with the terms of this Article VII of the Agreement. In any such event, Franchisee and its Representatives agree to (i) furnish only that portion of the Confidential Information for which Franchisor has
waived compliance or for which Franchisee is advised by counsel is legally required to be furnished and (ii) use their reasonable best efforts to ensure that all Confidential Information and other information that is so disclosed will be
accorded confidential treatment. Immediately upon termination of this Agreement, or at any time upon the request of Franchisor, Franchisee and its Representatives shall promptly deliver to Franchisor all written material containing or reflecting any
Confidential Information (including all copies, extracts or other reproductions in whole or in part) and agree to destroy all documents, memoranda, notes and other writings whatsoever (including all copies, extracts or other reproductions in whole
or in part) prepared by Franchisee or its Representatives based on the Confidential Information. Upon the written request of Franchisor, Franchisee shall certify in writing to Franchisor Franchisee’s destruction of such documents, memoranda,
notes and other writings. Notwithstanding the return or destruction of the Confidential Information, Franchisee and its Representatives will continue to be bound by the obligations imposed by this Article VII. It is further understood and agreed
that money damages would not be a sufficient remedy for any breach of this Agreement by Franchisee or its Representatives, and that Franchisor would be entitled to specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief as a remedy for any
such breach. Such remedy shall not be deemed to be the exclusive remedy for Franchisee’s or its Representatives’ breach of this Agreement, but shall be in addition to all other remedies available at law or equity to Franchisor. Franchisee
shall be responsible to pay or reimburse Franchisor for any costs and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees and costs) incurred by Franchisor in connection with the enforcement of this Article VII if it is determined that Franchisee or
its Representatives has breached this Article VII; provided, however the parties agree that nothing in this Article VII shall be interpreted to restrain Franchisee from making disclosures required of it by law or regulation as an SEC reporting
company. 
 ARTICLE VIII 
 RELEASE 

  
 9 

 7.1 Release. Franchisee, on behalf of itself and each of its Affiliates, hereby
releases and forever discharges Franchisor and each of its past, present and future Representatives, Affiliates, members, controlling persons, subsidiaries, successors and assigns (individually, a “Releasee” and collectively,
“Releasees”) from any and all claims, demands, proceedings, causes of action, suits, liens, losses, costs, expenses, orders, obligations, contracts, debts and liabilities of any kind, character or nature whatsoever, whether known or
unknown, suspected or unsuspected, asserted or unasserted, fixed or contingent, both at law and in equity, that Franchisee or any of its Affiliates now has, has ever had, or may hereafter have arising contemporaneously with or prior to the date of
this Agreement or on account of or arising out of any matter, cause or event occurring contemporaneously with or prior to the date of this Agreement; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall operate to release any obligations of
the Franchisor arising under the Franchise Agreements after the date of this Agreement. Franchisee hereby irrevocably covenants to refrain from, directly or indirectly, asserting any claim or demand, or commencing, instituting or causing to be
commenced, any proceeding of any kind against any Releasee, based upon any matter purported to be released hereby. 
 7.2
Indemnification. Without in any way limiting any of the rights and remedies otherwise available to any Releasee, Franchisee shall indemnify and hold harmless each Releasee from and against all loss, liability, claim, damage (including
incidental and consequential damages) or expense (including costs of investigation and defense and reasonable attorney’s fees) whether or not involving third party claims, arising directly or indirectly from or in connection with (i) the
assertion by or on behalf of Franchisee or any of its Affiliates of any claim or other matter purported to be released pursuant to this Article VIII and (ii) the assertion by any third party of any claim or demand against any Releasee which
claim or demand arises directly or indirectly from, or in connection with, any assertion by or on behalf of Franchisee or any of its Affiliates against such third party of any claims or other matters purported to be released pursuant to this Article
VIII, or arises directly or indirectly from or in connection with any Default, any default under this Agreement, or any other obligation of Franchisee or its Affiliates. 
 7.3 Waiver of Unknown Claims. Franchisee hereby expressly waives all rights afforded by Section 1542 of the Civil Code of California or any statute or common law principle of similar effect in
any jurisdiction with respect to the Releasees (collectively, “Section 1542”). Section 1542 of the Civil Code of California states as follows: 
 A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN ITS FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED
HIS SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR. 

  
 10 

 Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 1542, and for the purpose of implementing a full and complete
release, Franchisee expressly waives and relinquishes any rights and benefits that it may have under Section 1542. Franchisee understands and agrees that the release contained in this Article V is intended to include all claims, if any, which
Franchisee may have and which Franchisee does not now know or suspect to exist in its favor against the Releasees and that this release extinguishes those claims. Franchisee represents and warrants to the Releasees that it has been advised by its
attorney of the effect and import of the provisions of Section 1542, and that Franchisee has not assigned or otherwise transferred or subrogated any interest in any claims, demands or causes of action that are the subject of this release.
Franchisee agrees to indemnify, defend and hold the Releasees harmless for any liability, loss, claims, demands, damages, costs, expenses or attorneys’ fees incurred as a result of any person or entity asserting such assignment, transfer or
subrogation. Franchisee further agrees that in the event of litigation relating to the subject matter of this release contained in Article VIII, each Releasee shall be entitled to reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs if it is the prevailing
party in such litigation. 
 ARTICLE VIII

 WELLS FARGO & COMPANY 

MEDIUM-TERM NOTE, SERIES K 
 Due Nine Months or More From Date of Issue 
 Notes
Linked to the Dow Jones – UBS Commodity IndexSM

 due January 8, 2018 
 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), 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, on the Stated Maturity Date. The “Initial Stated Maturity Date” shall be January 8, 2018. If no Market Disruption Event (as
defined below) occurs or is continuing with respect to the Index (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 the Index 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 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 

The “Redemption Amount” of this Security will equal: 

 

	 	•	 	 If the Ending Level is greater than the Starting Level, the lesser of: 

 

	 	(i)	the Face Amount plus: 

  

															
	 	 	Face Amount x    	 	 	  	 Ending Level – Starting Level

Starting Level
	 	 	 	x Participation Rate	 	 	 	; and

  

	 	(ii)	the Capped Value; 

  

	 	•	 	 If the Ending Level is less than or equal to the Starting Level, the Face Amount. 

“Index” shall mean the Dow Jones – UBS Commodity IndexSM. 

The “Pricing Date” shall mean June 28, 2011. 

The “Starting Level” is 157.2128, the Closing Level of the Index on the Pricing Date. 

The “Ending Level” will be the Closing Level of the Index on the Calculation Day. If a Market Disruption Event occurs or
is continuing on the Calculation Day with respect to the Index, the Calculation Agent will establish the Closing Level for the Index for the Calculation Day using (A) for each Designated Contract included in the Index that did not suffer
a Market Disruption Event on such date, the exchange published Settlement Price on that date of each such Designated Contract, and (B) for each Designated Contract included in the Index which did suffer a Market Disruption Event on such
date, the exchange published Settlement Price of that Designated Contract on the next Trading Day on which no Market Disruption Event occurs with respect to such Designated Contract; provided, however, if a Market Disruption Event occurs with
respect to a Designated Contract on each of the five Trading Days following such Calculation Day, then the Calculation Agent will determine the Closing Level of the Index for such Calculation Day using a Settlement Price for such Designated Contract
subject to a Market Disruption Event based upon its good faith estimate of the Settlement Price on that fifth Trading Day. The Calculation Agent shall determine the Closing Level by reference to the exchange published Settlement Prices or other
prices determined as set forth above, using the then-current method for calculating the Index. The exchange on which a Designated Contract included in the Index is traded for purposes of the foregoing provision means the exchange used to value such
Designated Contract for the calculation of the Index. 
 The “Closing Level” of the Index on any Trading Day is
generally the last reported level of the Index at approximately 5:00 p.m., New York City time. 
 The “Capped
Value” is 173% of the Face Amount of this Security. 
 The “Participation Rate” is 100%. 

  
 2 

 “Index Sponsor” shall mean CME Group Index Services LLC (“CME
Indexes”), as assignee of Dow Jones & Company, Inc. (“Dow Jones”), and UBS Securities LLC (“UBS”). 
 “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 the Index means a
day, as determined by the Calculation Agent, on which the Closing Level of the Index is scheduled to be published. 
 The
“Calculation Day” shall be December 29, 2017 or, if such day is not a Trading Day, the next succeeding Trading Day. 
 “Calculation Agent Agreement” shall mean the Calculation Agent Agreement dated as of July 6, 2011 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 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 commodity index that the Calculation Agent determines, in its sole discretion, to be comparable to the Index (a “Successor Commodity Index”), then, upon the Calculation Agent’s notification
of that determination to the Trustee and the Company, the Calculation Agent will substitute the Successor Commodity Index as calculated by the relevant index sponsor or any other entity and calculate the Ending Level as described above. Upon any
selection by the Calculation Agent of a Successor Commodity Index, the Company will cause notice to be given to the Holder of this Security. 
 In the event that the Index Sponsor discontinues publication of the Index and the Calculation Agent does not select a Successor Commodity Index, the Calculation Agent will compute a substitute level for
the Index in accordance with the procedures last used to calculate the Index before any discontinuance. If a Successor Commodity Index is selected or the Calculation Agent calculates a level as a substitute for the Index, the Successor Commodity
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. 

  
 3 

 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 so that the Index does not, in the opinion of the Calculation Agent, fairly represent the level of the Index had those changes or modifications not been made, then, from and
after that time, the Calculation Agent will, at the close of business in New York, New York, on the date that the Closing Level of the Index is to be calculated, make any adjustments as, in the good faith judgment of the Calculation Agent, may be
necessary in order to arrive at a value of an commodity index comparable to the Index as if those changes or modifications had not been made, and calculate the level of the Index with reference to such commodity index, as so adjusted. 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 failure of the Index Sponsor to announce or publish the Closing Level of the Index (or the closing level of any Successor Commodity Index, if applicable) or the
temporary discontinuance or unavailability of the Index. A discontinuance of publication of the Index shall not constitute a Market Disruption Event with respect to the Index if the Calculation Agent shall have selected a Successor Commodity Index
as set forth above under “Discontinuance Of The Index; Alteration Of Method Of Calculation.” 

  

	 	(B)	The material suspension of, or material limitation imposed on, trading in any Designated Contract included in the Index on the Relevant Exchange for such Designated
Contract. The “Relevant Exchange” for a Designated Contract means the primary exchange or market of trading for such Designated Contract. 

  

	 	(C)	The failure by the Relevant Exchange, trading facility or other price source to announce or publish the Settlement Price for any Designated Contract included in the
Index. 

  

	 	(D)	The Settlement Price published by the Relevant Exchange, trading facility or other price source for any Designated Contract included in the Index is a “limit
price,” which means that the Settlement Price for such contract for a day has increased or decreased from the previous day’s Settlement Price by the maximum amount permitted under applicable rules. 

As used in this Security: 
  

	 	(1)	a “Designated Contract” refers to a futures contract included in the Index; 

  
 4 

	 	(2)	“Settlement Price” means for each Designated Contract, the official settlement price for the relevant contract month as published by the futures
exchange on which the Index Commodity trades; and 

  

	 	(3)	“Index Commodity” refers to the physical commodity underlying a Designated Contract. 

Calculation Agent 

The Calculation Agent will determine the Ending Level and the Redemption Amount. 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 Commodity Index or, if no Successor
Commodity 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 January 8, 2018. 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 as though the date of acceleration was the Calculation Day; provided, however, if such date is not a Trading 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. 

  
 5 

 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 

Notes Linked to the Dow Jones – UBS Commodity IndexSM 
 due January 8, 2018 
 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

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
