MEDIUM-TERM NOTE, SERIES S 

Due Nine Months or More From Date of Issue 

0.125% Equity Basket Linked Notes due February 14, 2025 

Linked to a Basket of Shares 

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 its registered assigns, an amount equal to the
Stated Maturity Payment Amount (as defined below) due with respect to the principal amount of
                                         
                    DOLLARS
($                    ) on February 14, 2025 (the “Stated Maturity Date”), subject to postponement due to the occurrence
of a Market Disruption Event (as defined below) as set forth below under “Payment at Stated Maturity” unless the Company has exercised the Redemption Right (as defined and described below), and to pay interest on the principal amount of
this Security from February 14, 2018 or from the most recent Interest Payment Date (as defined below) to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, as the case may be, at the rate of 0.125% per annum, payable on each Interest Payment
Date. Interest shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days with twelve 30-day months. The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, as
provided in the Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such Interest Payment Date; provided that the interest payable
on the Stated Maturity Date shall be paid to the Person to whom the Stated Maturity Payment Amount is paid. The “Regular Record Date” for an Interest Payment Date shall be the date one Business Day (as defined below) prior to such
Interest Payment Date. The “Interest Payment Dates” shall be each February 14 and August 14, commencing August 14, 2018, and ending on the Stated Maturity Date. 

 The amount payable on this Security at Maturity will be based upon the value
of a basket of stocks (the “Basket”) consisting of the following equity shares (with the initial weightings noted parenthetically): Class A common stock of Facebook, Inc. (30%); Class C capital stock of Alphabet Inc.
(30%); common stock of Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. (20%); and common stock of Citigroup Inc. (20%) (each, a “Basket Stock” and collectively, the “Basket Stocks”). The issuers of the Basket Stocks are sometimes
referred to herein individually as a “Basket Stock Issuer” and collectively as the “Basket Stock Issuers.” 

Any interest not punctually paid or duly provided for will forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record
Date and may either be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the Trustee,
notice whereof shall be given to the Holder of this Security 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 this
Security may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in the Indenture. 

All amounts payable on this Security shall be payable 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. Payments of interest on this Security shall be payable at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose in the City of Minneapolis, Minnesota and at any other
office or agency maintained by the Company for such purpose; provided, however, that at the option of the Company payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the
Security Register or by wire transfer to such account as may have been appropriately designated by such Person. Amounts payable on this Security at Maturity shall be paid against presentation of this Security at the office or agency of the Company
maintained for that purpose in the City of Minneapolis, Minnesota. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for so long as this Security is in the form of a Global Security registered in the name of the Depositary, all payments on this Security will be made
to the Depositary by wire transfer of immediately available funds. 
 Payment at Stated Maturity 

On the Stated Maturity Date, for each $1,000 principal amount of this Security, if this Security has not been previously
redeemed by the Company, the Holder of this Security shall receive an amount in cash equal to the greater of $1,000 and Parity (such amount, the “Stated Maturity Payment Amount”), as determined on the Final Determination Date (as
defined below), plus any accrued and unpaid interest. “Parity” on any Trading Day equals the sum of the products of the Closing Price (as defined below) of each Basket Stock and its Share Ratio (as defined below) on such Trading
Day. “Principal amount” shall mean, when used with respect to this Security, the amount set forth on the face of this Security as its “Principal Amount.” 

The “Share Ratio” for each Basket Stock is equal to: (i) with respect to the Class A common stock
of Facebook, Inc., 1.494028; (ii) with respect to the Class C capital stock of Alphabet Inc., 0.256468; (iii) with respect to the common stock of Goldman Sachs Group, Inc., 0.697420; and (iv) with respect to the common stock of
Citigroup Inc., 2.389696. The Share Ratio for each Basket Stock will remain constant for the term of this Security unless adjusted for certain corporate events 

  
 2 

 
relating to the issuer of that Basket Stock, including changes in dividend payments. See “—Adjustment Events” below. 

The “Final Determination Date” is February 7, 2025. If the originally scheduled Final Determination Date
is not a Trading Day, the Final Determination Date will be postponed to the next succeeding Trading Day. The Final Determination Date is also subject to postponement due to the occurrence of a Market Disruption Event. 

If a Market Disruption Event occurs or is continuing with respect to a Basket Stock on the Final Determination Date, such
Final Determination Date for such Basket Stock will be postponed to the first succeeding Trading Day on which a Market Disruption Event for such Basket Stock has not occurred and is not continuing. If such first succeeding Trading Day has not
occurred as of the eighth scheduled Trading Day after the scheduled Final Determination Date, that eighth scheduled Trading Day shall be deemed the Final Determination Date for such Basket Stock. If the Final Determination Date has been postponed
eight scheduled Trading Days after the scheduled Final Determination Date and such eighth scheduled Trading Day is not a Trading Day, or if a Market Disruption Event occurs or is continuing with respect to a Basket Stock on such eighth scheduled
Trading Day, the Calculation Agent (as defined below) will determine the Closing Price of such Basket Stock on such eighth scheduled Trading Day using its good faith estimate of the Closing Price that would have prevailed for such Basket Stock on
such date. Notwithstanding a postponement of the Final Determination Date for a particular Basket Stock due to a Market Disruption Event with respect to that Basket Stock, the originally scheduled Final Determination Date will remain the Final
Determination Date for a Basket Stock not affected by a Market Disruption Event. 
 If a Market Disruption Event has
occurred or is continuing with respect to a Basket Stock on the Final Determination Date, and such Final Determination Date for such Basket Stock is postponed so that it falls less than three Business Days (as defined below) prior to the Stated
Maturity Date, the Stated Maturity Date will be postponed to the third Business Day following the last Final Determination Date as postponed. 

Redemption Right 
 The
Company may redeem this Security, in whole but not in part, for settlement on any day from and including February 14, 2021, to and including the Stated Maturity Date, for an amount in cash for each $1,000 principal amount of this Security equal
to the greater of (i) $1,000 and (ii) Parity determined by the Calculation Agent on the Trading Day prior to the Redemption Notice Date (the “Redemption Determination Date”). This right of the Company to redeem this
Security is referred to herein as the “Redemption Right.” 
 If the Company redeems this Security, the
Company will specify the Redemption Date in its notice of redemption. The “Redemption Date” will be 10 days following the day on which the Company gives its notice of redemption (the “Redemption Notice Date”),
unless the 10th day following the Redemption Notice Date is not a Business Day, in which case the Redemption Date will be the immediately following day that is a Business Day. If the Company
redeems this Security, the Holder of this Security will not receive any accrued but unpaid interest on the Redemption Date. 

  
 3 

 Business Day Adjustments 

If the Stated Maturity Date, any Interest Payment Date or the Redemption Date is not a Business Day, any payments due on this
Security on such day will be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on such day and no interest on such payment will accrue from and after the Stated Maturity Date or such Interest Payment Date, as
applicable. 
 Certain Definitions 

“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. 

“Calculation Agent” shall mean the Person that has entered into the Calculation Agent Agreement with the
Company, 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. 

“Calculation Agent Agreement” shall mean the Calculation Agent Agreement dated as of January 24, 2018
between the Company and the Calculation Agent, as amended from time to time. 
 The “Closing Price” for one
share of a Basket Stock (or one unit of any other security for which a Closing Price must be determined) on any Trading Day means: 
  

	 	•	 	 if the Basket Stock (or any such other security) is listed or admitted to trading on a national securities
exchange, the official closing price on such day published by the principal United States securities exchange registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), on which the Basket Stock (or any
such other security) is listed or admitted to trading; or 

  

	 	•	 	 if the Basket Stock (or any such other security) is not listed or admitted to trading on any national
securities exchange but is included in the OTC Bulletin Board Service (the “OTC Bulletin Board”) operated by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”), the last reported sale price of the principal
trading session on the OTC Bulletin Board on such day. 

  
 4 

 If the Basket Stock (or any such other security) is listed or admitted to
trading on any national securities exchange but the official closing price is not available pursuant to the preceding sentence, then the Closing Price for one share of the Basket Stock (or one unit of any such other security) on any Trading Day will
mean the last reported sale price of the principal trading session on the over-the-counter market as reported on the OTC Bulletin Board on such day. 

If the official closing price or the last reported sale price, as applicable, for the Basket Stock (or any such other
security) is not available pursuant to either of the two preceding sentences, then the Closing Price per share for any Trading Day will be the mean, as determined by the Calculation Agent, of the bid price for the Basket Stock (or any such other
security) obtained from as many recognized dealers in such security, but not exceeding three, as will make such bid prices available to the Calculation Agent. Bids of Wells Fargo Securities, LLC or any of its affiliates may be included in the
calculation of such mean, but only to the extent that any such bid is the highest of the bids obtained. The term “OTC Bulletin Board Service” will include any successor service thereto or, if the OTC Bulletin Board Service is
discontinued and there is no successor service thereto, the OTC Reporting Facility operated by FINRA. 
 A “Market
Disruption Event” means, with respect to a Basket Stock, the occurrence or existence of any of the following events: 
  

	 	•	 	 a suspension, absence or material limitation of trading in such Basket Stock on its primary market for more
than two hours of trading or during the one-half hour before the close of trading in that market, as determined by the Calculation Agent in its sole discretion; 

 

	 	•	 	 a suspension, absence or material limitation of trading in option or futures contracts relating to such Basket
Stock, if available, in the primary market for those contracts for more than two hours of trading or during the one-half hour before the close of trading in that market, as determined by the Calculation Agent
in its sole discretion; 

  

	 	•	 	 such Basket Stock does not trade on the New York Stock Exchange, the NASDAQ Global Select Market, the NASDAQ
Global Market or what was the primary market for such Basket Stock, as determined by the Calculation Agent in its sole discretion; or 

  

	 	•	 	 any other event, if the Calculation Agent determines in its sole discretion that the event materially
interferes with the Company’s ability or the ability of any of its affiliates to unwind all or a material portion of a hedge with respect to this Security that the Company or its affiliates have effected or may effect. 

The following events will not be Market Disruption Events: 

 

	 	•	 	 a limitation on the hours or number of days of trading in such Basket Stock in its primary market, but only if
the limitation results from an announced change in the regular business hours of the relevant market; and 

  

	 	•	 	 a decision to permanently discontinue trading in the option or futures contracts relating to such Basket
Stock. 

  
 5 

 For this purpose, a “suspension, absence or material limitation of
trading” in the applicable market will not include any time when that market is itself closed for trading under ordinary circumstances. In contrast, a “suspension, absence or material limitation of trading” in the applicable market
for a Basket Stock or option or futures contracts relating to a Basket Stock, as applicable, by reason of any of: 
  

	 	•	 	 a price change exceeding limits set by that market; 

 

	 	•	 	 an imbalance of orders relating to that Basket Stock or those contracts; or 

 

	 	•	 	 a disparity in bid and asked quotes relating to that Basket Stock or those contracts 

will constitute a “suspension, absence or material limitation of trading” in that Basket Stock or those contracts, as the case may
be, in the applicable market. 
 A “Trading Day” means a day, as determined by the Calculation Agent, on
which trading is generally conducted on the principal trading market for each of the Basket Stocks (as determined by the Calculation Agent, in its sole discretion), the Chicago Mercantile Exchange and the Chicago Board Options Exchange and in the over-the-counter market for equity securities in the United States. 

Calculation Agent 
 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. 

Events of Default and Acceleration 

In case an Event of Default, as defined in the Indenture, with respect to this Security has occurred and is continuing, the
amount payable to the Holder of this Security upon any acceleration permitted by this Security, with respect to each $1,000 principal amount of this Security, will be equal to the greater of (i) $1,000 and (ii) Parity determined by the
Calculation Agent on the date of acceleration. 
 Adjustment Events 

The Share Ratios of the Basket Stocks are subject to adjustment by the Calculation Agent as a result of the dilution and
reorganization events described in this section. 
 How adjustments will be made 

If one of the events described below occurs with respect to any Basket Stock and the Calculation Agent determines that the
event has a dilutive or concentrative effect on the market price of such Basket Stock, the Calculation Agent will calculate a corresponding adjustment to the Share Ratio for such Basket Stock as the Calculation Agent deems appropriate to account for
that 

  
 6 

 
dilutive or concentrative effect. For example, if an adjustment is required because of a two-for-one stock split,
then the Share Ratio for such Basket Stock will be adjusted by the Calculation Agent by multiplying the existing Share Ratio by a fraction whose numerator is the number of shares of such Basket Stock outstanding immediately after the stock split and
whose denominator is the number of shares of such Basket Stock outstanding immediately prior to the stock split. Consequently, the Share Ratio will be adjusted to double the prior Share Ratio, due to the corresponding decrease in the market price of
such Basket Stock. Adjustments will be made for events with an effective date or Ex-Dividend Date (as defined below), as applicable, from but excluding February 8, 2018 to and including the Redemption
Determination Date or the Final Determination Date, as applicable (the “Adjustment Period”). 
 The
Calculation Agent will also determine the effective date of that adjustment, and the replacement of the Basket Stock, if applicable, in the event of a consolidation or merger or certain other events in respect of the Basket Stock Issuer. Upon making
any such adjustment, the Calculation Agent will give notice as soon as practicable to the Trustee and the Paying Agent, stating the adjustment to the Share Ratio with respect to such Basket Stock. In no event, however, will an antidilution
adjustment to the Share Ratio during the term of this Security be deemed to change the principal amount of this Security. 

If more than one event requiring adjustment occurs with respect to a Basket Stock, the Calculation Agent will make an
adjustment for each event in the order in which the events occur, and on a cumulative basis. Thus, having made an adjustment for the first event, the Calculation Agent will adjust the Share Ratio for the second event, applying the required
adjustment to the Share Ratio of any such Basket Stock as already adjusted for the first event, and so on for any subsequent events. 

For any dilution event described below, other than a consolidation or merger, the Calculation Agent will not have to adjust
the Share Ratio unless the adjustment would result in a change to the Share Ratio of any such Basket Stock then in effect of at least 0.10%. The Share Ratio with respect to such Basket Stock resulting from any adjustment will be rounded up or down,
as appropriate, to the nearest one-hundred thousandth. 
 If an event requiring an
antidilution adjustment occurs, the Calculation Agent will make the adjustment with a view to offsetting, to the extent practical, any change in the economic position of the Holder of this Security relative to this Security that results solely from
that event. The Calculation Agent may, in its sole discretion, modify the antidilution adjustments as necessary to ensure an equitable result. 

The Calculation Agent will make all determinations with respect to antidilution adjustments, including any determination as to
whether an event requiring adjustment has occurred, as to the nature of the adjustment required and how it will be made or as to the value of any property distributed in a Reorganization Event (as defined below), and will do so in its sole
discretion. In the absence of manifest error, those determinations will be conclusive for all purposes and will be binding on the Holder of this Security and the Company, without any liability on the part of the Calculation Agent. The Holder of this
Security will not be entitled to any compensation from the Company for any loss suffered as a result of any of these determinations by the Calculation Agent. 

  
 7 

 
The Calculation Agent will provide information about the adjustments that it makes upon the written request of the Holder of this Security. 

If any of the adjustments specified below is required to be made with respect to an amount or value of any cash or other
property that is distributed by any Basket Stock Issuer organized outside the United States, such amount or value will be converted to U.S. dollars, as applicable, and will be reduced by any applicable foreign withholding taxes that would apply to
such distribution if such distribution were paid to a U.S. person that is eligible for the benefits of an applicable income tax treaty, if any, between the United States and the jurisdiction of organization of such Basket Stock Issuer, as determined
by the Calculation Agent, in its sole discretion. 
 No adjustments will be made for certain other events, such as offerings
of common stock by any Basket Stock Issuer for cash or in connection with the occurrence of a partial tender or exchange offer for any Basket Stock by the issuer of such Basket Stock or any other person. 

Ordinary Dividend Adjustments 

In addition to any adjustments to the Share Ratio described herein, the Share Ratio for each Basket Stock will be adjusted for
changes (whether positive or negative) in the regular quarterly cash dividend payable to holders of such Basket Stock relative to its Base Quarterly Dividend (as defined below). If the issuer of a Basket Stock pays a regular quarterly cash dividend
for which the Ex-Dividend Date is within the Adjustment Period and the amount of such regular quarterly cash dividend (the “Current Quarterly Dividend”) differs from the Base Quarterly
Dividend payable to the holders of such Basket Stock, the Share Ratio with respect to such Basket Stock will be adjusted (an “Ordinary Dividend Adjustment”) on such Ex-Dividend Date so that
the new Share Ratio will equal the prior Share Ratio multiplied by the Ordinary Dividend Adjustment Factor. If a Basket Stock Issuer with a positive Base Quarterly Dividend (as specified below) declares that it will pay no dividend in any quarter,
other than in connection with a Payment Period Adjustment as defined and discussed below, an adjustment will be made in accordance with this paragraph on the date determined by the Calculation Agent that, but for the discontinuation of the regular
quarterly cash dividend in such quarter, would have been the Ex-Dividend Date in such quarter, corresponding to the Ex-Dividend Date in the immediately prior dividend
payment period during which a regular quarterly cash dividend was paid (or, if such date is not a Trading Day, the next day that is a Trading Day). If a Reorganization Event occurs, no Ordinary Dividend Adjustment will be made in respect of any New
Stock (other than Spin-Off Stock), Successor Stock or Replacement Stock (each as defined below). 

The “Ordinary Dividend Adjustment Factor” will equal a fraction, the numerator of which is the Closing Price
of such Basket Stock on the Trading Day preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for the payment of the Current Quarterly Dividend (such Closing Price, the “Ordinary Dividend Base Closing Price”), and
the denominator of which equals the Ordinary Dividend Base Closing Price of such Basket Stock on the Trading Day preceding the Ex-Dividend Date minus the Dividend Differential. If the Dividend Differential is
negative (because the Current Quarterly Dividend is less than the Base Quarterly Dividend), then the Ordinary Dividend Adjustment Factor will be less than 1, and the corresponding adjustment to the Share Ratio will result in a reduction of the Share
Ratio. 

  
 8 

 The “Dividend Differential” equals the amount of the
Current Quarterly Dividend minus the Base Quarterly Dividend. 
 The “Base Quarterly Dividend” means
(i) with respect to the Class A common stock of Facebook, Inc., a quarterly dividend of $0.00 per share; (ii) with respect to the Class C capital stock of Alphabet Inc., a quarterly dividend of $0.00 per share; (iii) with
respect to the common stock of Goldman Sachs Group, Inc., a quarterly dividend of $0.80 per share; and (iv) with respect to the common stock of Citigroup Inc., a quarterly dividend of $0.32 per share; provided that (x) if there occurs any
corporate event with respect to a Basket Stock that requires an adjustment to such Basket Stock’s Share Ratio as described in this section “Adjustment Events” or (y) if a Basket Stock effects a change in the periodicity of its
dividend payments (e.g., from quarterly payments to semi-annual payments) (a “Payment Period Adjustment”), then in each case the Calculation Agent will make an appropriate adjustment to the Base Quarterly Dividend with respect to
the applicable Basket Stock with a view to offsetting, to the extent practical, any change in the Holder’s economic position relative to this Security that results solely from that event, and references in this section to a quarter or a
quarterly dividend shall be deemed to refer instead to such other period or periodic dividend, as appropriate. In the event of a spin-off with respect to any Basket Stock, the Base Quarterly Dividend for such
Basket Stock will remain unchanged and the Base Quarterly Dividend with respect to the Spin-Off Stock (as defined below) will be $0.00 per share. 

Stock Splits and Reverse Stock Splits 

A stock split is an increase in the number of a corporation’s outstanding shares of stock without any change in its
stockholders’ equity. Each outstanding share will be worth less as a result of a stock split. 
 A reverse stock split
is a decrease in the number of a corporation’s outstanding shares of stock without any change in its stockholders’ equity. Each outstanding share will be worth more as a result of a reverse stock split. 

If any Basket Stock is subject to a stock split or a reverse stock split, then once the split has become effective the
Calculation Agent will adjust the Share Ratio with respect to such Basket Stock to equal the product of the prior Share Ratio of such Basket Stock and the number of shares issued in such stock split or reverse stock split with respect to one share
of such Basket Stock. 
 Stock Dividends 

In a stock dividend, a corporation issues additional shares of its stock to all holders of its outstanding stock in proportion
to the shares they own. Each outstanding share will be worth less as a result of a stock dividend. 
 If any Basket Stock is
subject to a stock dividend payable in shares of such Basket Stock that is given ratably to all holders of shares of such Basket Stock, then once the dividend has become effective the Calculation Agent will adjust the Share Ratio for such Basket
Stock on the Ex-Dividend Date to equal the sum of the prior Share Ratio for such Basket Stock and the product of: 
  

	 	•	 	 the number of shares issued with respect to one share of such Basket Stock, and 

  
 9 

	 	•	 	 the prior Share Ratio for such Basket Stock. 

The “Ex-Dividend Date” for any dividend or other distribution is the
first day on and after which such Basket Stock trades without the right to receive that dividend or distribution. 
 No Adjustments for Other
Dividends and Distributions 
 The Share Ratio will not be adjusted to reflect dividends, including cash dividends,
or other distributions paid with respect to any Basket Stock, other than: 
  

	 	•	 	 Ordinary Dividend Adjustments described above, 

 

	 	•	 	 stock dividends described above, 

 

	 	•	 	 issuances of transferable rights and warrants as described in “ — Transferable Rights and
Warrants” below, 

  

	 	•	 	 distributions that are spin-off events described in “ —
Reorganization Events” below, and 

  

	 	•	 	 Extraordinary Dividends described below. 

An “Extraordinary Dividend” means each of (a) the full amount per share of a Basket Stock of any cash
dividend or special dividend or distribution that is identified by the issuer of a Basket Stock as an extraordinary or special dividend or distribution, (b) the excess of any cash dividend or other cash distribution (that is not otherwise
identified by the issuer of such Basket Stock as an extraordinary or special dividend or distribution) distributed per share of such Basket Stock over the immediately preceding cash dividend or other cash distribution, if any, per share of such
Basket Stock that did not include an Extraordinary Dividend (as adjusted for any subsequent corporate event requiring an adjustment as described herein, such as a stock split or reverse stock split) if such excess portion of the dividend or
distribution is more than 5.00% of the Closing Price of such Basket Stock on the Trading Day preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for the payment of such cash dividend or other cash distribution (such Closing Price,
the “Extraordinary Dividend Base Closing Price”) and (c) the full cash value of any non-cash dividend or distribution per share of a Basket Stock (excluding Marketable Securities, as
defined below). 
 If any Basket Stock is subject to an Extraordinary Dividend, then once the Extraordinary Dividend has
become effective the Calculation Agent will adjust the Share Ratio for such Basket Stock on the Ex-Dividend Date to equal the product of: 

 

	 	•	 	 the prior Share Ratio for such Basket Stock, and 

 

	 	•	 	 a fraction, the numerator of which is the Extraordinary Dividend Base Closing Price of such Basket Stock on
the Trading Day preceding the Ex-Dividend Date and the denominator of which is the amount by which the Extraordinary Dividend Base Closing Price of such Basket Stock on the Trading Day preceding the Ex-Dividend Date exceeds the Extraordinary Dividend. 

  
 10 

 Notwithstanding anything herein, the initiation by the issuer of a Basket
Stock of an ordinary dividend on such Basket Stock or any announced increase in the ordinary dividend on such Basket Stock will not constitute an Extraordinary Dividend requiring an adjustment. 

To the extent an Extraordinary Dividend is not paid in cash or is paid in a currency other than U.S. dollars, the value of the
non-cash component or non-U.S. currency will be determined by the Calculation Agent, in its sole discretion. A distribution on a Basket Stock that is a dividend payable
in shares of such Basket Stock, an issuance of rights or warrants or a spin-off event and also an Extraordinary Dividend will result in an adjustment to the number of shares of a Basket Stock only as described
in “—Stock Dividends” above, “—Transferable Rights and Warrants” below or “—Reorganization Events” below, as the case may be, and not as described here. 

Transferable Rights and Warrants 

If the issuer of a Basket Stock issues transferable rights or warrants to all holders of such Basket Stock to subscribe for or
purchase such Basket Stock at an exercise price per share that is less than the Closing Price of such Basket Stock on the Trading Day before the Ex-Dividend Date for the issuance, then the Share Ratio for such
Basket Stock will be adjusted to equal the product of: 
  

	 	•	 	 the prior Share Ratio for such Basket Stock, and 

 

	 	•	 	 a fraction, (1) the numerator of which will be the number of shares of such Basket Stock outstanding at
the close of trading on the Trading Day before the Ex-Dividend Date (as adjusted for any subsequent event requiring an adjustment hereunder) plus the number of additional shares of such Basket Stock offered
for subscription or purchase pursuant to the rights or warrants and (2) the denominator of which will be the number of shares of such Basket Stock outstanding at the close of trading on the Trading Day before the
Ex-Dividend Date (as adjusted for any subsequent event requiring an adjustment hereunder) plus the number of additional shares of such Basket Stock (referred to herein as the “Additional
Shares”) that the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares of such Basket Stock so offered for subscription or purchase pursuant to the rights or warrants would purchase at the Closing Price on the Trading Day before the Ex-Dividend Date for the issuance. 

 The number of Additional Shares
will be equal to: 
  

	 	•	 	 the product of (1) the total number of additional shares of such Basket Stock offered for subscription or
purchase pursuant to the rights or warrants and (2) the exercise price of the rights or warrants, divided by 

  

	 	•	 	 the Closing Price of such Basket Stock on the Trading Day before the
Ex-Dividend Date for the issuance. 

 If the number of shares of
the Basket Stock actually delivered in respect of the rights or warrants differs from the number of shares of the Basket Stock offered in respect of the rights or warrants, then the Share Ratio for such Basket Stock will promptly be readjusted to
the Share Ratio 

  
 11 

 
for such Basket Stock that would have been in effect had the adjustment been made on the basis of the number of shares of the Basket Stock actually delivered in respect of the rights or warrants.

 Reorganization Events 

Each of the following is a “Reorganization Event”: 

 

	 	•	 	 a Basket Stock is reclassified or changed (other than in a stock split or reverse stock split),

  

	 	•	 	 the issuer of a Basket Stock has been subject to a merger, consolidation or other combination and either is
not the surviving entity or is the surviving entity but all outstanding shares of such Basket Stock are exchanged for or converted into other property, 

  

	 	•	 	 a statutory share exchange involving outstanding shares of a Basket Stock and the securities of another entity
occurs, other than as part of an event described above, 

  

	 	•	 	 a Basket Stock Issuer sells or otherwise transfers its property and assets as an entirety or substantially as
an entirety to another entity, 

  

	 	•	 	 a Basket Stock Issuer effects a spin-off, other than as part of an
event described above (in a spin-off, a corporation issues to all holders of its common stock equity securities of another issuer), or 

 

	 	•	 	 the issuer of a Basket Stock is liquidated, dissolved or wound up or is subject to a proceeding under any
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, or another entity completes a tender or exchange offer for all the outstanding shares of such Basket Stock. 

Adjustments for Reorganization Events 

If a Reorganization Event occurs with respect to a Basket Stock Issuer, then the Calculation Agent will adjust the applicable
Share Ratio to reflect the amount and type of property or properties—whether cash, securities, other property or a combination thereof—that a holder of one share of the applicable Basket Stock would have been entitled to receive in
relation to the Reorganization Event. This new property is referred to as the “Reorganization Property.” 

Reorganization Property can be classified into two categories: 

 

	 	•	 	 an equity security listed on a national securities exchange, which is generally referred to as a
“Marketable Security” and, in connection with a particular Reorganization Event, “New Stock,” which may include any tracking stock, any stock received in a spin-off (“Spin-Off Stock”) or any Marketable Security received in exchange for the Basket Stock; and 

  

	 	•	 	 cash and any other property, assets or securities other than Marketable Securities (including equity
securities that are not listed, that are traded over the counter or that are 

  
 12 

	 	 
listed on a non-U.S. securities exchange), which is referred to as “Non-Stock Reorganization
Property.” 

 For the purpose of making an adjustment required by a Reorganization Event, the
Calculation Agent, in its sole discretion, will determine the value of each type of the Reorganization Property. For purposes of valuing any New Stock, the Calculation Agent will use the Closing Price of the security on the relevant Trading Day. The
Calculation Agent will value Non-Stock Reorganization Property in any manner it determines, in its sole discretion, to be appropriate. In connection with a Reorganization Event in which Reorganization Property
includes New Stock, for the purpose of determining the Share Ratio for any New Stock as described below, the term “New Stock Reorganization Ratio” means the product of (i) the number of shares of the New Stock received with
respect to one share of the applicable Basket Stock and (ii) the Share Ratio for such Basket Stock on the Trading Day immediately prior to the effective date of the Reorganization Event. 

If a holder of shares of the applicable Basket Stock may elect to receive different types or combinations of types of
Reorganization Property in the Reorganization Event, the Reorganization Property will consist of the types and amounts of each type distributed to a holder of shares of such Basket Stock that makes no election, as determined by the Calculation Agent
in its sole discretion. 
 If any Reorganization Event occurs with respect to a Basket Stock Issuer, then on and after the
effective date for such Reorganization Event (or, if applicable, in the case of spinoff stock, the Ex-Dividend Date for the distribution of such spinoff stock) the term “Basket Stock” herein
will be deemed to mean the following in respect of the applicable original Basket Stock, and for each share of Basket Stock, New Stock and/or Replacement Stock so deemed to constitute Basket Stock, the applicable Share Ratio will be equal to the
applicable number indicated: 
  

	 	(a)	 if the Basket Stock continues to be outstanding: 

 

	 	(1)	 that Basket Stock (if applicable, as reclassified upon the issuance of any tracking stock) at the Share Ratio
in effect for that Basket Stock on the Trading Day immediately prior to the effective date of the Reorganization Event; and 

  

	 	(2)	 if the Reorganization Property includes New Stock, a number of shares of New Stock equal to the New Stock
Reorganization Ratio; 

 provided that, if any Non-Stock
Reorganization Property is received in the Reorganization Event, the results of (a)(1) and (a)(2) above will each be multiplied by the “Gross-Up Multiplier,” which will be equal to a fraction,
the numerator of which is the Closing Price of the Basket Stock on the Trading Day immediately prior to the effective date of the Reorganization Event and the denominator of which is the amount by which such Closing Price of the Basket Stock exceeds
the value of the Non-Stock Reorganization Property received per share of Basket Stock as determined by the Calculation Agent as of the close of trading on such Trading Day; or 

  
 13 

	 	(b)	 if the Basket Stock is surrendered for Reorganization Property: 

 

	 	(1)	 that includes New Stock, a number of shares of New Stock equal to the New Stock Reorganization Ratio;
provided that, if any Non-Stock Reorganization Property is received in the Reorganization Event, such number will be multiplied by the Gross-Up Multiplier; or

  

	 	(2)	 that consists exclusively of Non-Stock Reorganization Property:

  

	 	(i)	 if the surviving entity has Marketable Securities outstanding following the Reorganization Event and either
(A) such Marketable Securities were in existence prior to such Reorganization Event or (B) such Marketable Securities were exchanged for previously outstanding Marketable Securities of the surviving entity or its predecessor
(“Predecessor Stock”) in connection with such Reorganization Event (in either case of (A) or (B), the “Successor Stock”), a number of shares of the Successor Stock determined by the Calculation Agent on the
Trading Day immediately prior to the effective date of such Reorganization Event equal to the Share Ratio in effect for the Basket Stock on the Trading Day immediately prior to the effective date of such Reorganization Event multiplied by a
fraction, the numerator of which is the value of the Non-Stock Reorganization Property per share of the Basket Stock on such Trading Day and the denominator of which is the Closing Price of the Successor Stock
on such Trading Day (or, in the case of Predecessor Stock, the Closing Price of the Predecessor Stock multiplied by the number of shares of the Successor Stock received with respect to one share of the Predecessor Stock); or 

 

	 	(ii)	 if the surviving entity does not have Marketable Securities outstanding, or if there is no surviving entity
(in each case, a “Replacement Stock Event”), a number of shares of Replacement Stock (selected as defined below) with an aggregate value on the effective date of such Reorganization Event equal to the value of the Non-Stock Reorganization Property multiplied by the Share Ratio in effect for the Basket Stock on the Trading Day immediately prior to the effective date of such Reorganization Event. 

If a Reorganization Event occurs with respect to the shares of a Basket Stock and the Calculation Agent adjusts the Share
Ratio of such Basket Stock to reflect the Reorganization Property in the event as described above, the Calculation Agent will make further antidilution adjustments for any later events that affect the Reorganization Property, or any component of the
Reorganization Property, comprising the new Share Ratio. The Calculation Agent will do so to the same extent that it would make adjustments if the shares of such Basket Stock were outstanding and were affected by the same kinds of events. If a
subsequent Reorganization Event affects only a particular component of the number of shares of such Basket Stock, the required 

  
 14 

 
adjustment will be made with respect to that component as if it alone were the number of shares of such Basket Stock. 

For purposes of adjustments for Reorganization Events, in the case of a consummated tender or exchange offer or going-private
transaction involving Reorganization Property of a particular type, Reorganization Property will be deemed to include the amount of cash or other property paid by the offeror in the tender or exchange offer with respect to such Reorganization
Property (in an amount determined on the basis of the rate of exchange in such tender or exchange offer or going-private transaction). In the event of a tender or exchange offer or a going-private transaction with respect to Reorganization Property
in which an offeree may elect to receive cash or other property, Reorganization Property will be deemed to include the kind and amount of cash and other property received by offerees who elect to receive cash. 

Replacement Stock Events 

Following the occurrence of a Replacement Stock Event described in paragraph (b)(2)(ii) above or in “—Delisting of
American Depositary Shares or Termination of American Depositary Receipt Facility” below, the amount of cash payable on this Security upon redemption or at Maturity will be determined by reference to a Replacement Stock and a Share Ratio
(subject to any further antidilution adjustments) for such Replacement Stock as determined in accordance with the following paragraphs. 

The “Replacement Stock” will be the stock having the closest “Option Period Volatility” to the
Basket Stock among the stocks that then comprise the Replacement Stock Selection Index (or, if publication of such index is discontinued, any successor or substitute index selected by the Calculation Agent in its sole discretion) with the same GICS
Code (as defined below) as the issuer of such Basket Stock; provided, however, that a Replacement Stock will not include (i) any stock that is subject to a trading restriction under the trading restriction policies of the Company, the hedging
counterparties of the Company or any of their affiliates that would materially limit the ability of the Company, the hedging counterparties of the Company or any of their affiliates to hedge this Security with respect to such stock or (ii) any
stock for which the aggregate number of shares to be referenced (equal to the product of (a) the Share Ratio that would be in effect immediately after selection of such stock as the Replacement Stock and (b) the principal amount of this
Security outstanding divided by $1,000) exceeds 25% of the ADTV (as defined in Rule 100(b) of Regulation M under the Exchange Act) for such stock as of the effective date of the Replacement Stock Event (an “Excess ADTV Stock”).

 If a Replacement Stock is selected in connection with a Reorganization Event, the Share Ratio with respect to such
Replacement Stock will be equal to the number of shares of such Replacement Stock with an aggregate value, based on the Closing Price on the effective date of such Reorganization Event, equal to the product of (a) the value of the Non-Stock Reorganization Property received per share of the Basket Stock and (b) the Share Ratio in effect for such Basket Stock on the Trading Day immediately prior to the effective date of such Reorganization
Event. If Replacement Stock is selected in connection with an ADS Termination Event (as defined below), the Share Ratio with respect to such Replacement Stock will be equal to the number of shares of such Replacement Stock with an aggregate value,
based on the Closing Price on the Change Date (as defined below), equal to the product of (x) the Closing Price of the Basket Stock on the Change 

  
 15 

 
Date and (y) the Share Ratio in effect for such Basket Stock on the Trading Day immediately prior to the Change Date. 

The “Option Period Volatility” means, in respect of any Trading Day, the volatility (calculated by referring
to the Closing Price of the Basket Stock on its primary exchange) for a period equal to the 125 Trading Days immediately preceding the announcement date of the Reorganization Event, as determined by the Calculation Agent. 

“GICS Code” means the Global Industry Classification Standard (“GICS”) sub-industry code assigned to the Basket Stock Issuer; provided, however, if (i) there is no other stock in the Replacement Stock Selection Index in the same GICS
sub-industry or (ii) a Replacement Stock (a) for which there is no trading restriction and (b) that is not an Excess ADTV Stock cannot be identified from the Replacement Stock Selection Index in
the same GICS sub-industry, the GICS Code will mean the GICS industry code assigned to such Basket Stock Issuer. If no GICS Code has been assigned to such Basket Stock Issuer, the applicable GICS Code will be
determined by the Calculation Agent to be the GICS sub-industry code assigned to companies in the same sub-industry (or, subject to the proviso in the preceding
sentence, industry, as applicable) as such Basket Stock Issuer at the time of the relevant Replacement Stock Event. 
 The
“Replacement Stock Selection Index” means the S&P 500® Index. 

Delisting of American Depositary Shares or Termination of American Depositary Receipt Facility. If a Basket Stock is an
ADS and such Basket Stock is no longer listed or admitted to trading on a U.S. securities exchange registered under the Exchange Act or included in the OTC Bulletin Board Service operated by the FINRA, or if the American depositary receipt facility
between the issuer of such Basket Stock and the depositary is terminated for any reason (each, an “ADS Termination Event”), then, on the last Trading Day on which such Basket Stock is listed or admitted to trading or the last
Trading Day immediately prior to the date of such termination, as applicable (the “Change Date”), a Replacement Stock Event shall be deemed to occur. 
  

 

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 S 

Due Nine Months or More From Date of Issue 

0.125% Equity Basket Linked Notes due February 14, 2025 

Linked to a Basket of Shares 

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 February 21, 2017, 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 S, of the Company. 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. 
 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 

  
 18 

 
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 “Principal Amount” hereof. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security
and of any Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security. 

Defeasance 

Section 403 and Article Fifteen of the Indenture and the provisions of clause (ii) of Section 401(1)(B) of the
Indenture, relating to defeasance at any time of (a) the entire indebtedness on this Security and (b) certain restrictive covenants, upon compliance by the Company with certain conditions set forth therein, shall not apply to this
Security. The remaining provisions of Section 401 of the Indenture shall apply to this Security. 
 Authorized Denominations 

This Security is issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of $1,000 or any amount in excess thereof
which is an integral multiple of $1,000. 
 Registration of Transfer 

Upon due presentment for registration of transfer of this Security at the office or agency of the Company in the City of
Minneapolis, Minnesota, a new Security or Securities of this series, with the same terms as this Security, in authorized denominations for an equal aggregate principal 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
and notifies the Trustee thereof or (z) an Event of Default with respect to the Securities represented hereby has occurred and is continuing. If this Security is exchangeable pursuant to the preceding sentence, it shall be exchangeable for
definitive Securities in registered 

  
 19 

 
form, 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 the Indenture. 

Prior to due presentment of this Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company
or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Security is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the
contrary. 
 Obligation of the Company Absolute 

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security or the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation
of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to make the payments on this Security at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency herein prescribed, except as otherwise provided in this Security. 

No Personal Recourse 

No recourse shall be had for the payment of amounts payable on this Security, or for any claim based hereon, or otherwise in
respect hereof, or based on or in respect of the Indenture or any indenture supplemental thereto, against any incorporator, stockholder, officer or director, as such, past, present or future, of the Company or any successor corporation, whether by
virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability being, by the acceptance hereof and as part of the consideration for the issuance hereof, expressly waived and
released. 
 Defined Terms 

All terms used in this Security which are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture
unless otherwise defined in this Security. 
 Governing Law 

This Security shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of the State of New York, without regard to
principles of conflicts of laws.

AMENDMENT TO FUTURESACCESSTM ADVISORY AGREEMENT

This amendment is made as of September 1, 2017 (this “Amendment”) among ASPECT FUTURESACCESS LLCTM, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Fund”), MERRILL LYNCH ALTERNATIVE INVESTMENTS LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Manager”), and ASPECT CAPITAL LIMITED, a United Kingdom company (the “Trading Advisor”).  Capitalized terms used herein but not defined have the meanings assigned to them in the Advisory Agreement (as defined below).

WHEREAS, the Fund, ML Aspect FuturesAccess Ltd., then a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Offshore Fund”), the Manager and the Trading Advisor entered into an Advisory Agreement dated as of May 28, 2004 (the “Advisory Agreement”), as amended by a letter agreement dated February 6, 2012, an amendment to the Advisory Agreement dated December 4, 2014 and an amendment to the Advisory Agreement dated April 28, 2015 (the amendments collectively, the “Advisory Agreement Amendments”);

WHEREAS, the Offshore Fund was dissolved as of December 31, 2012;

WHEREAS, the Trading Advisor has informed the Manager and the Fund that, going forward, it will accept only “qualified eligible persons” as clients (as that term is defined in CFTC Regulation 4.7) and, accordingly, will no longer prepare a disclosure document which is filed with the NFA pursuant to applicable Commodity Regulations or NFA Rules from June 30, 2017; and

WHEREAS, the Fund, the Manager and the Trading Advisor wish to amend the Advisory Agreement and terminate the Advisory Agreement Amendments with effect as of the date set forth above, except as otherwise set forth herein, as follows.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises set forth herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, it is hereby agreed:

	
1.

	
The definition of “Fund” in the introductory paragraph of the Advisory Agreement is amended to reference only Aspect FuturesAccess LLC.

	
2.

	
All references to “ML Aspect FuturesAccess LLC” are deemed to refer to “Aspect FuturesAccess LLC.”

	
3.

	
The Offshore Fund shall no longer be a party to the Advisory Agreement.

	
4.

	
The language in Section 1(d)(ii) of the Advisory Agreement is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

“(ii)   The Manager acknowledges receipt, on behalf of both itself and the Fund, of the Trading Advisor’s disclosure document dated August 1, 2017.”

	
5.

	
Section 1(f)(iii) of the Advisory Agreement is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

“(f)(iii)   Intentionally Blank.”

	
6.

	
Section 2(c)(i) of the Advisory Agreement is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

“(c)   Capacity and Position Limits.

 

(i)   The Trading Advisor agrees not to accept other client capital or accounts, if doing so could reasonably be expected to impair the Trading Advisor’s ability to manage the Fund as contemplated by the Memorandum as applicable to the Trading Advisor, assuming that the capitalization of the Fund were equal to $300 million.  The Trading Advisor also agrees to consult with the Manager in the event that, notwithstanding the undertaking in the preceding sentence, the Manager believes that capacity restrictions may affect the Trading Advisor’s strategy on behalf of the Fund.

	
7.

	
The language in Section 2(f) of the Advisory Agreement is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

“(f)   The Trading Advisor shall, during the term of this Agreement, deliver to the Fund copies of its current disclosure document in final form promptly following preparation of such disclosure document and shall otherwise deliver to the Fund, upon the reasonable request of the Manager, such information about the Trading Advisor and its trading program as the Manager reasonably deems necessary to update the disclosure document of the Fund in accordance with applicable CFTC and NFA rules.”

	
8.

	
Section 2(h) of the Advisory Agreement is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

“(h)   Intentionally Blank.”

	
9.

	
Section 5 of the Advisory Agreement is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

“5.   Management Fee.  As of the last Business Day of each calendar month, the Fund shall pay the Trading Advisor a Management Fee, calculated and payable in U.S. dollars, equal to 0.0833% (a 1% annual rate) of the aggregate gross asset value (for the avoidance of doubt, prior to reduction for any accrued Incentive Fees or for the Management Fee being calculated) of the Fund. Such Management Fee shall be pro rated in the case of partial calendar months, but shall not be subject to rebate once paid.”

	
10.

	
Section 6 of the Advisory Agreement is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

“6.   Incentive Fee.

 

(a)  The Fund will pay to the Trading Advisor at the end of each quarter (e.g., each March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31) (each, an “Incentive Fee Calculation Date”), an Incentive Fee, calculated and payable in U.S. dollars, equal to 20% of any New Trading Profit recognized by the Fund as of such Incentive Fee Calculation Date.

 

2

(b)  “New Trading Profit” equals any increase in the Net Asset Value, subject to Section 6(e), as of the current Incentive Fee Calculation Date over the High Water Mark.

 

(c)  (i)  The “High Water Mark” shall be equal to the highest aggregate Net Asset Value after reduction for the Incentive Fee then paid, as of any preceding Incentive Fee Calculation Date. The High Water Mark shall be increased dollar-for-dollar by new subscriptions and decreased proportionately when capital withdrawals from the Fund’s account with the Trading Advisor (“Capital Withdrawals”) are made by the Fund.  The proportionate High Water Mark reduction made as a result of Capital Withdrawals shall be calculated by multiplying the High Water Mark in effect immediately prior to such Capital Withdrawal by the fraction, the numerator of which is the Net Asset Value immediately following such Capital Withdrawal and the denominator of which is the Net Asset Value immediately before such Capital Withdrawal, in each case prior to reduction for any accrued Incentive Fee.  For the avoidance of doubt, the payment of expenses shall not be deemed a Capital Withdrawal and shall not reduce the High Water Mark.

(ii)   If an Incentive Fee is paid as of an Incentive Fee Calculation Date, the High Water Mark is reset to the Net Asset Value immediately following such payment and following the payment of the Sponsor’s Fees (as defined in the Memorandum) and Management Fees charged, in the aggregate, to each Class.

(iii)   For the avoidance of doubt, the High Water Mark shall be determined on the basis of the Fund or a Class Group as a whole, not on the basis of any individual investors or group of investors.

 

(d)  When there is an accrued Incentive Fee at the time any net Capital Withdrawal is made, the Incentive Fee attributable to such Capital Withdrawal will be paid. Such Incentive Fee shall be determined by multiplying the Incentive Fee that would have been paid had the date of the Capital Withdrawal been an Incentive Fee Calculation Date by the fraction, the numerator of which is the amount of the Capital Withdrawal and the denominator of which is the Net Asset Value immediately prior to the Capital Withdrawal. Such Incentive Fee will be paid from and reduce the amount of the Capital Withdrawal.

 

(e)  New Trading Profit is calculated prior to the reduction for any Incentive Fees or Sponsor’s Fees being calculated as of such Incentive Fee Calculation Date.  In addition, Net Asset Value for purposes of calculating the Incentive Fee shall not include any interest income earned by the Fund and shall not be reduced by Sponsor’s Fees (although such interest income shall increase, and such Sponsor’s Fees shall decrease, Net Asset Value for purposes of determining the value of the Interests and the Sponsor’s Fee shall reduce Net Asset Value when resetting the High Water Mark pursuant to Section 6(c)(iii)). For the avoidance of doubt, no Incentive Fee shall be payable on any interest income earned by the Fund.

3

 

(f)  The termination date of this Agreement shall be treated as an Incentive Fee Calculation Date.

 

(g)  The Trading Advisor will, at the request of the Manager, receive the Incentive Fee either as a fee or as a profit allocation.

 

(h)  The Manager shall calculate the Management and Incentive Fees promptly after each date as of which either of such fees is due. The Manager will deliver to the Trading Advisor a reasonably detailed summary of the Manager’s calculation of such fees, and such calculation shall be binding and conclusive among all affected parties unless the Trading Advisor objects in writing to such calculation by the close of business in New York on the second full New York business day following the delivery of such summary.”

	
11.

	
The following is added to the Advisory Agreement as a new Section 10(b)(vii):

“(vii)   The Manager will not sub-distribute, market and/or promote the Fund, directly or indirectly, to “retail clients” (as defined in applicable Financial Services Authority rules) in the United Kingdom through a United Kingdom branch or affiliate.”

	
12.

	
The following is included in the Advisory Agreement as a new Section 27:

“27.   Semi-Monthly Liquidity.  The Trading Advisor acknowledges and understands that, effective October 15, 2012, the Manager changed the redemption rights and subscription dates of the Fund to permit subscriptions and redemptions on a semi-monthly basis.  As a result, the Fund began offering Units for subscription as of the 1st and 16th calendar day of each month starting on October 16, 2012.
