         Each Stockholder, severally and not jointly, hereby covenants and
agrees that:

         SECTION 4.01. NO PROXIES FOR OR ENCUMBRANCES ON SHARES. (a) Except
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, such Stockholder shall not, without the
prior written consent of Cellco, directly or indirectly, (i) grant any proxies
or enter into any voting trust or other agreement or arrangement with respect to
the voting of any Shares (other than the proxy granted pursuant to Section 1.02
of this Agreement), (ii) sell, assign, transfer, encumber or otherwise dispose
of , or enter into any contract, option or other arrangement or understanding
with respect to the direct or indirect sale, assignment, transfer, encumbrance
or other disposition of, any Shares or permit any other Person to take any such
action with respect to any Shares during the term of this Agreement or (iii)
agree to any amendment, waiver or termination of the Price Family Voting

seek or solicit any such acquisition or sale, assignment, transfer, encumbrance
or other disposition or any such contract, option or other arrangement or
understanding and agree to notify Cellco promptly, and to provide all details
requested by Cellco if such Stockholder shall be approached or solicited,
directly or indirectly, by any Person with respect to any of the foregoing.

         (b) The foregoing notwithstanding, Kim Pressman shall be entitled to
take any action described in clause (ii) of Section 4.01(a) with respect to up
to 55,000 shares of capital stock of the Company held by her provided that prior
written notification of any such action is delivered to Cellco and New LP. Any

Agreement, each of the Stockholders will not solicit, initiate, knowingly
encourage, conduct or engage in any substantive discussions, or enter into any
agreement or understanding with any other person or entity regarding the
transfer, directly or indirectly, of any of their Shares in a manner which would
reasonably be anticipated in the case of Price Parent to result in a Change of
Control (other than an event that is a Change of Control solely by reason of
subparagraph (i) of the definition of "Change of Control"). Any party hereto
becoming aware of any inquiry or request by another person or entity with
respect to any such transfer prohibited by the immediately preceding sentence
hereof shall promptly notify Cellco of such inquiry, indicate the identity of
the offer or and the terms and conditions of any proposals or offers or the
nature of any inquiries or contacts, and

things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable laws and regulations, to
consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement;
PROVIDED that this Section 5.01 shall in no way limit, restrict or restrain the

effective. This Agreement shall terminate on the earlier of (i) the date of
termination of the New Transaction Agreement in accordance with its terms or

contemplated by the New Transaction Agreement (other than the VWI Exchange).

         SECTION 5.03. EXPENSES. Except as otherwise provided in the New

ARTICLE IV
  
    ELIGIBILITY AND PARTICIPATION    
  

    Section 4.1  Eligibility.  In order to be eligible to participate in the Plan, an individual must
satisfy the following requirements: 

	(a)
	the
individual must be classified and treated by a Participating Company as an independent contractor who provides qualified services to or with respect to the Participating Company
that are determined by the Company in its discretion to be qualified services; and

	(b)
	the
individual must be designated as eligible to participate in the Plan by the Participating Company and the Company. 

    The
determinations made by the Participating Company and Company with respect to an individual shall be conclusive and binding on all parties. Furthermore, the Participating Company
(with approval of the Company) may in its discretion determine that a Participant who performs or who has performed qualified services to or with respect to the Participating Company is no longer
eligible to accrue benefits under the Plan or participate in the Plan. In such event, any amounts payable to the Participant under the Plan will be determined as of the date such Participant ceased
such eligibility and will be distributable in accordance with Article VIII. 

    Section 4.2  Participation.  An individual determined to be first eligible to participate in the
Plan under Section 4.1 shall become a Participant as of the first day of the month immediately following the month in which the individual files with the Company a completed Deferral Election
Form in accordance with the requirements of Article V and the completed form is accepted by the Company. Subject to the provisions of this Article IV, once an individual becomes a
Participant in the Plan, the individual shall remain a Participant until his or her death or, if earlier, the date on which occurs a distributable event under Article VIII and all amounts which
may be payable to the individual under the Plan have been distributed to or on behalf of the individual. 

    Section 4.3  Specific Exclusion.  Notwithstanding anything apparently to the contrary in the Plan
document or in any written communication, summary, resolution or document or oral communication, no individual shall be a Participant in this Plan, accrue amounts under this Plan or be entitled to
receive amounts under this Plan (either for himself or herself or his or her survivors) unless such individual is classified and treated as an independent contractor who performs qualified services to
or with respect to a Participating Company and is not classified as or considered to be a common law employee of the Participating Company, the Company or any Affiliate. If a court of competent
jurisdiction, any representative of the U.S. Department of Labor or any other governmental, regulatory or similar body makes any direct or indirect, formal or informal, determination that an
individual is a common law employee of the Participating Company, the Company or any Affiliate, such individual shall not be (and shall be considered to not have ever been) a Participant in this Plan
at any time. If an individual has been so determined as a common law employee and has been erroneously treated as a Participant in this Plan, upon discovery of such error such individual's erroneous
participation shall immediately terminate, any amounts that have been deferred under Section 5.2 by the individual and credited to an Account under the Plan or any amounts transferred to this
Plan under Section 5.5 shall be distributable to the individual in a lump sum payment as soon as administratively possible, and the value of any Accounts established under the Plan for the
individual shall be reduced to zero. Furthermore, such individual shall be obligated to reimburse the Company for amounts erroneously paid to the individual under the Plan to the extent the amounts
exceeded the amounts that were deferred by the individual and were distributed to the individual under this Section 4.3.

ARTICLE V
  
    DEFERRED AMOUNT    
  

    Section 5.1  Determination of Amount.  The amount that may be payable under this Plan with respect
to a Participant shall be determined based upon the amount determined by the sum of (a) the amounts deferred pursuant to Section 5.2, and in accordance with Sections 5.3 and 5.4 as
adjusted in accordance
with Article VI, and (b) the amounts determined under Sections 5.5 and 5.6 as adjusted in accordance with Article VI. 

    Section 5.2  Deferred Compensation.  Subject to the provisions of this Section 5.2,
Sections 5.3 and 5.4, and the terms of the Plan, a Participant may elect to defer receipt of part or all of the Participant's Eligible Compensation. A Participant may defer Eligible Compensation only
to the extent that the Participant is otherwise eligible to receive such Eligible Compensation. Upon the deferral of Eligible Compensation, the Participant shall have no further right to such deferred
compensation other than as provided under the Plan. Such deferred compensation shall be the record of the value of such deferred compensation credited to a Participant's Deferred Compensation Account
and shall be used solely for accounting purposes. 

    Section 5.3  Deferral Elections of Eligible Compensation.  

	(a)
	Deferral Election of Eligible Compensation.  Each year, a Participant may elect to defer all or any portion of the
Eligible Compensation that would otherwise become payable to the Participant during the following calendar year. The amount deferred may be determined either as a percentage of Eligible Compensation
(expressed in whole percent increments up to 100%), or as a dollar amount (expressed in increments of $100 and limited by the Eligible Compensation payable to the Participant). Except as provided in
Section 5.3(b), an election by a Participant to defer such Eligible Compensation must be made by the Participant in the form and manner prescribed by the Company and must be filed with and
accepted and approved by the Company before the first day of the calendar year for which the Eligible Compensation is payable, specifying the portion of the Eligible Compensation to be earned in the
succeeding calendar year that is to be deferred.

	(b)
	Deferral Election for First Year.  In the first year in which an individual becomes eligible to participate in the
Plan, the newly eligible individual may make an election to defer Eligible Compensation for services to be performed subsequent to the election. An election made by such individual under this
subsection (b) must be made within thirty (30) days after the date on which the individual becomes eligible. Such an election must be made in the form and manner prescribed by the
Company, filed with and accepted and approved by the Company. Once made, such an election, if so accepted and approved, shall be irrevocable and shall be effective as of the first day of the month
following the month in which the election is so accepted and approved by the Company. This subsection (b) shall only apply, however, with respect to an eligible individual who becomes a
Participant in the Plan on a date other than the first day of a Plan Year. 

    Section 5.4  Effectiveness of Deferral Election.  Each year, a Participant may elect to defer all
or a portion of his or her Eligible Compensation pursuant to Sections 5.2 and 5.3 of the Plan. Such an election must be made by the Participant for the calendar year beginning after the calendar year
in which such election is properly made under Section 5.3, and, once made, such an election shall be irrevocable. When a Participant's Deferred Compensation Account is credited with a deferred
amount, that amount shall be measured in U.S. dollars equal to such deferred amount and shall be credited to a Deferred Compensation Account established for the Participant as of the close of business
on the date that such amount would have otherwise been paid to the Participant. The period of deferral and form 

–5–

 

of distribution of Eligible Compensation shall be determined in accordance with the elections made under Sections 5.2 and 5.3 and in accordance with Article VIII of this Plan. 

    Section 5.5  Transfer Amounts.  The Company may determine in its sole and absolute discretion to
combine or consolidate another nonqualified deferred compensation plan with this Plan. If the Company determines to combine or consolidate another nonqualified deferred compensation plan with this
Plan, an appendix to this Plan document, which shall be incorporated herein by reference, shall contain special rules regarding the manner in which the value of the benefit payable to each participant
under that nonqualified deferred compensation plan shall be determined and credited to a Transfer Account established for that participant. A Transfer Account shall be credited with such amounts at
such times and pursuant to such terms and conditions as determined by the Company and which shall be set forth in the appendix to this Plan document and incorporated herein by reference. Unless
otherwise provided in this Plan and an appendix attached to the Plan and incorporated herein by reference, the amounts so credited to a Transfer Account shall be valued pursuant to the terms and
conditions as set forth in the Plan, and distributions of such amounts credited to a Transfer Account shall also be governed by the terms and conditions as set forth in the Plan. 

    Section 5.6  Participant Accounts.  Accounts shall be established and maintained for each
Participant. The Deferred Compensation Account and the Transfer Account shall be credited with amounts which shall be measured in U.S. dollars or the value of the shares of Common Stock. The Deferred
Compensation Account for a Participant shall be credited as described in Sections 5.2, 5.3, and 5.4 for any deferred amounts. The Transfer Account for a Participant shall be credited with such amounts
as determined by the Company as set forth in an appendix attached to this Plan document and incorporated in the Plan by reference. 

 
 

ARTICLE VI
  
    VALUATION OF ACCOUNTS    
  

    Section 6.1  Establishment of Accounts.  There shall be established for each Participant unfunded,
bookkeeping Accounts which shall be adjusted each Valuation Date. 

    Section 6.2  Deferred Compensation Account and Transfer Account.  As of each Valuation Date (the
"current Valuation Date"), the value of any amounts credited to a Participant's Deferred Compensation Account and Transfer Account determined as of the immediately preceding Valuation Date (the
"previous Account value") shall be increased (or decreased) by the following adjustments made in the following sequence: 

	(a)
	Intermediate Distribution Subtraction.  The previous Account value shall be reduced by the total amount distributed to
or with respect to the Participant from such Account.

	(b)
	Deferral Amounts.  The previous Account value (as adjusted above) shall be increased by the amounts deferred, if any,
pursuant to Article V of the Plan.

	(c)
	Investment Adjustment.  The previous Account value (as adjusted above) shall be adjusted to reflect an amount
determined based upon the value of the amounts that are allocated among one or more investment options made available by the Company. The value of amounts credited to the Account and allocated to an
investment option shall be deemed to be invested in such investment option, reflecting all earnings, losses and other distributions or charges and changes in value which would have been incurred
through such an investment.

	(d)
	Final Distribution Subtraction.  The previous Account value (as adjusted above) shall be reduced by the total amount
distributed to or with respect to the Participant from such Account as of the current Valuation Date. 

–6–

  

    Section 6.3  Allocation of Amounts.  Each year, a Participant may request to allocate or
reallocate among one or more investment options made available by the Company for purposes of measuring the value of the benefit that may be payable to or with respect to the Participant under the
Plan except as provided for under subsection (a) of this Section 6.3. The Participant's request must be made in the form designated by the Company in one percent (1%) increments. The
Allocation Request Form must be submitted before the beginning of each calendar year to which such request applies. All such requests are subject to acceptance by the Company at its discretion. If
accepted by the Company, an allocation request will be effective as of the first business day of the calendar year following the calendar year in which such request was made. Upon acceptance of an
investment request pursuant to this Section 6.3, the Company will process the request and the request shall be implemented and reflected in the Participant's Accounts. If no request is made,
the Company shall, in its sole discretion, allocate or reallocate amounts credited to the Participant's Accounts among one or more investment options made available by the Company. The portion of any
Accounts allocated to an investment option shall be deemed to be invested in such investment option, reflecting all earnings, losses and other distributions or charges and changes in value which would
have been incurred through such an investment. The Company specifically reserves the authority and right to determine which investment options if any, to make available, and the continued availability
of selected investment options. If an investment option includes Common Stock, the rules of subsections (a), (b), (c) and (d) of this Section 6.3 shall apply. 

	(a)
	Common Stock.  The Company may permit the value of any amounts credited to the Participant's Accounts to be measured
by the value of the Common Stock. If the Company permits amounts to be measured in this manner, a Participant may elect to have a portion (subject to any minimum percentage or minimum dollar amount)
or all of such amounts credited to his or her Accounts measured by the value of Common Stock. Once a Participant has elected to have a portion (all or a part) of the Participant's Accounts measured by
the value of the Common Stock, the Participant shall not be permitted to reallocate that portion of the Participant's Accounts (including any adjustments to that portion under Section 6.2(c))
to any other investment option. The election must be made in the form and manner prescribed by the Company and will not be effective unless accepted and approved by the Company. Once such election is
made and accepted by the Company, the election shall be irrevocable. The election shall be effected as soon as possible by crediting the Account with the number of units (including fractions thereof)
equal to the number of shares (including fractions thereof) of Common Stock that could have been purchased with the dollar amount subject to this election based upon the New York Stock Exchange only
closing price as of the business day immediately preceding the date that the Account is credited with the units. Each unit shall be measured by the value of one share of Common Stock and treated as
though invested in a share of Common Stock. The liability of the Company under the Plan with respect to such units shall be satisfied only in shares of Common Stock, subject to any applicable State
and Federal securities requirements.

	(b)
	Cash Dividends.  Amounts measured by the value of Common Stock shall be credited on each Common Stock dividend payment
date with that number of units equal to the number of shares which would have been acquired based upon the cash dividends paid on shares of Common Stock equal to the number of units credited to the
Accounts as of the record date for such dividend.

	(c)
	Adjustments to Common Stock.  The number of units credited to the Accounts shall be adjusted to reflect any change in
the outstanding Common Stock by reason of any stock dividend or split, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, combination or exchange of shares or other similar corporate change. 

–7–

 

	(d)
	Voting of Common Stock.  No Participant or Beneficiary shall be entitled to any voting rights with respect to any
units credited to the Accounts. 

    Section 6.4  Hypothetical Accounts.  The Accounts established under this Plan (including any
accounts established in an appendix attached to the Plan document and incorporated in the Plan by reference) shall be hypothetical in nature and shall be maintained for bookkeeping purposes only.
Neither the Plan nor any of the Accounts (sub-accounts or any accounts established under this Plan) shall hold or be required to hold any actual funds or assets. 

 
 

ARTICLE VII
  
    VESTING OF ACCOUNT    
  

    Section 7.1  Vested Amount.  Except as elsewhere specifically provided, the amounts credited to

    Section 8.2  Forms of Payment to Participant.  Benefits payable to the Participant shall be paid
as follows: 

	(a)
	Installments.  If elected by the Participant in a manner determined by the Company and subject to subsection
(c) of this Section 8.2 and Section 10.1, any amounts payable to the Participant under the Plan shall be made in the form of a series of annual installment payments selected by
the Participant not to exceed ten (10) annual payments. Each annual installment payment shall be made as of the first day of March of the year for which payment is made. The amount of each
installment payment shall be determined by dividing the amount credited to the Accounts of the Participant as of the date on which the installment is to be paid by the number of remaining installment
payments to be made (including the payment being determined). The Participant's Accounts shall continue to be adjusted in accordance with the provisions of Article VI of the Plan.

	(b)
	Lump Sum Election.  If elected by the Participant in a manner determined by the Company and subject to subsection
(c) of this Section 8.2 and Section 10.1, any amount payable to the Participant under the Plan shall be paid in a single lump sum payment. However, an election of this lump sum
payment option shall not be effective until the lapse of a period of twelve (12) months following the date on which such election form is accepted and approved by the Company.

	(c)
	Lump Sum Only.  Notwithstanding any provision in the Plan to the contrary, in the event distribution of a
Participant's Vested Plan Accounts is made because the Participant is to become a common law employee of a Participating Company, the Company or an Affiliate as provided under Section 8.1(d),
the entire Vested Plan Accounts of the Participant shall be payable only in the form of a single lump sum payment. Furthermore, notwithstanding any provision in the Plan to the contrary, in the event
distribution of the Vested Plan Accounts of all of the Participants is made because of the termination of the Plan, the entire Vested Plan Accounts of the Participants shall be payable only in the
form of a single lump sum payment and shall be paid as soon as practicable after the date the Plan is terminated. In the event no distribution election is made or is in effect with respect to part or
all of the amount payable to or on behalf of the Participant under the Plan, the amount not subject to a valid distribution election shall be payable only in the form of a lump sum payment. 

    Section 8.3  Payment to Beneficiary.  Subject to acceleration by the Company as provided below,
the Beneficiary of a deceased Participant shall receive the payment of any amounts payable on behalf of the Participant under the Plan in such form and manner as the Participant would have received
had the Participant survived. Such distribution shall be made (or, in the case of installments, shall commence) as soon as practicable after the March 1 immediately following the date of the
Participant's death. The Company may determine in its sole and absolute discretion to accelerate the value of all remaining payments payable to the Beneficiary into a single lump sum payment. 

–9–

 
    Section 8.4  Withdrawals.  In addition to the other distribution provisions of this
Article VIII and notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the Participant or the Beneficiary may request, by providing a written request to the Company, a withdrawal of all or any
portion of his or her benefits from his or her Vested amounts credited to the Participant's Account or Accounts under the Plan as a result of an unforeseeable emergency. If such a request is approved
by the Company, which decision by the Company shall be made in its sole discretion on a case by case basis, a withdrawal may be permitted under this Section 8.4. Withdrawals of amounts because
of an unforeseeable emergency are only permitted to the extent reasonably needed to satisfy the emergency need. This provision shall be interpreted and construed in a manner consistent with the
requirements of sections 1.457-2(h)(4) and 1.457-2(h)(5) of the Treasury Regulations. A penalty of ten percent (10%) of the amount withdrawn shall be imposed on any withdrawal
made pursuant to this Section 8.4. In the case of such a withdrawal by the Participant, the Participant shall be prohibited from making any elections to defer receipt of any form of
compensation under Section 5.2 of the Plan for the two (2) calendar years immediately following the calendar year in which such withdrawal occurs. 

    Section 8.5  Designation of Beneficiaries.  

	(a)
	Right to Designate.  Each Participant may designate, upon a form prescribed by and filed with the Company, one or more
primary Beneficiaries or alternative Beneficiaries to receive all or a specified portion of any amounts which may be payable with respect to the Participant under the Plan in the event of such
Participant's death. The Participant may change or revoke any such designation from time to time without notice to or consent from any Beneficiary. No such designation, change or revocation shall be

there is not sufficient evidence that a Beneficiary was living at the time of the death of the Participant, it shall be deemed that the
Beneficiary was not living at the time of the death of the Participant.

	(ii)
	The
automatic Beneficiaries specified in subsection (b) of this Section 8.5 and the Beneficiaries designated by the Participant shall
become fixed at the time of the Participant's death so that, if a Beneficiary survives the Participant but dies before the receipt of all payments due such Beneficiary hereunder, such remaining
payments shall be payable to the representative of such Beneficiary's estate. 

    Section 8.6  Death Prior to Full Distribution.  If, at the death of the Participant, any payment
to the Participant was due or otherwise distributable but not actually paid, the amount of such payment shall be included in the Account which is payable to the Beneficiary (and shall not be paid to
the Participant's estate). 

    Section 8.7  Facility of Payment.  In case of the legal disability, including minority, of a
Participant or Beneficiary eligible to receive distribution of an amount payable under the terms of the Plan, such amount shall be payable, if the Company shall be advised of the existence of such
condition, to the duly appointed guardian, conservator or other legal representative of such Participant or Beneficiary. 

    Any
payment made in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this section shall constitute a complete discharge of any liability or obligation of the Participating Company, the
Company and Wells Fargo & Company for such benefit. 

    Section 8.8  Form of Distribution.  Amounts attributable to the value of the Deferred Compensation
Account and the Transfer Account that are based on investment options other than Common Stock shall be payable in the form of U.S. dollars. Amounts attributable to the value of the Deferred
Compensation Account and the Transfer Account that are based on shares of Common Stock shall be payable in the form of shares of Common Stock. To the extent that the distribution is in the form of
shares of Common Stock, such payment shall be subject to all federal and state securities laws and other rules and regulations as determined to be applicable. 

    Section 8.9  Distributions As a Result of Tax Determination.  Notwithstanding any provision in
this Plan to the contrary, if, at any time, a court or the Internal Revenue Service determines that the value of any amounts credited to a Participant's Account or Accounts under the Plan is
includable in the gross income of the Participant and subject to tax, the Company may, in its sole discretion, permit a lump sum distribution of an amount equal to the value of such amounts determined
to be includable in the Participant's gross income.

    Section 9.1  Unfunded and Unsecured Plan.  The Plan shall at all times be considered entirely
unfunded for tax purposes and no provision shall at any time be made with respect to segregating assets of any Participating Company, the Company or Wells Fargo & Company for payment of any
amounts under the Plan. The obligation of the Company under this Plan shall be an unfunded and unsecured promise to pay. Neither the Company nor Wells Fargo & Company shall be obligated under
any circumstances to fund any financial obligations under this Plan. Any funds invested under the Plan shall continue for all purposes to be general assets of the Company and available to the general
creditors of the Company in the event of a bankruptcy (involvement in a pending proceeding under the Federal Bankruptcy Code) or insolvency (inability to pay debts as they mature) of the Company. No
Participant shall have any lien, prior claim or other security interest in any property of the Company. The Company shall have no obligation to establish or maintain any fund, trust or account (other
than a bookkeeping account or reserve) for the purpose of funding or paying the amounts promised under this Plan. If such a fund, trust or account is established by the Company, the property therein
shall remain the sole and exclusive property of the Company. 

    Section 9.2  Corporate Obligation.  The officers of any Participating Company, the Company, or
Wells Fargo & Company shall not in any way secure or guarantee the payment of any amount which may become due and payable under this Plan to or with respect to any Participant or Beneficiary.
After amounts shall have been paid to or with respect to a Participant and such payment covers in full the benefits hereunder, such former Participant or other person or persons, as the case may be,
shall have no further right or interest in any assets of the Company or Wells Fargo & Company in connection with this Plan. No person shall be under any liability or responsibility for failure
to effect any of the objectives or purposes of this Plan by reason of the insolvency of the Participating Company, the Company or Wells Fargo & Company.

written consent of the Participant, diminished or delayed by such amendment or the termination of such services (but the Board of Directors may amend the Plan document to

be required to perform as if no such succession had taken place.

    Section 11.4  Limitations and Exhaustion.  

	(a)
	Limitations.  No claim shall be considered under these administrative procedures unless it is filed with the Company
within one (1) year after the claimant knew (or reasonably should have known) of the principal facts on which the claim is based. Every untimely claim shall be denied by the Company without
regard to the merits of the claim. No legal action may be brought by any claimant on any matter pertaining to this Plan unless the legal action is commenced in the proper forum before the earlier of:

	(i)
	two
(2) years after the claimant knew (or reasonably should have known) of the principal facts on which the claim is based, or

	(ii)
	ninety
(90) days after the claimant has exhausted these administrative procedures. 

Knowledge
of all facts that a Participant knew (or reasonably should have known) shall be imputed to each claimant who is or claims to be a Beneficiary of the Participant (or otherwise claims to
derive an entitlement by reference to a Participant) for the purpose of applying the one (1) year and two (2) year periods. 

	(b)
	Exhaustion Required.  The exhaustion of these administrative procedures is mandatory for resolving every claim and
dispute arising under this Plan. As to such claims and disputes:

	(i)
	no
claimant shall be permitted to commence any legal action relating to any such claim or dispute unless a timely claim has been filed under these
administrative procedures and these administrative procedures have been exhausted; and

	(ii)

any such legal action all explicit and implicit determinations by the Company and the Board of Directors (including, but not limited to,
determinations as to whether the claim was timely filed) shall be afforded the maximum deference permitted by law.

Company to pay such amounts, and the rights of any Participants or their Beneficiaries to receive any amounts payable under the Plan pursuant to the provisions of this guarantee shall be no greater
than the rights of general unsecured creditors of Wells Fargo & Company. No Participant in the Plan or any Beneficiary shall have any lien, prior claim or other security interest in any assets,
funds or property of Wells Fargo & Company.

APPENDIX A
  
    MERGER OF H.D. VEST, INC. REPRESENTATIVES' DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN    
  

    Section 1.1.  The
provisions of this Appendix A apply with respect to benefits payable under the "H.D. Vest, Inc. Representatives' Deferred
Compensation Plan" (the "H.D. Vest Plan") as of December 31, 2001. 

    Section 1.2.  Effective
January 1, 2002, the H.D. Vest Plan shall be consolidated with and merged into this Plan and the H.D. Vest Plan shall no longer
separately exist for any purpose. All accounts under the H.D. Vest Plan shall be credited to Transfer Accounts established under this Plan for each H.D. Vest Plan participant in a manner consistent
with the requirements of section 414(l) of the Code and section 1.414(l)-1(o) of the Treasury Regulations regarding a transfer of assets and liabilities, but without regard
to any actual transfer of assets. The amount credited to each Transfer Account as an opening January 1, 2002, balance shall be based on the amounts credited to the participant's H.D. Vest Plan
accounts as of December 31, 2001, and the elections made by the participant under the H.D. Vest Plan prior to December 31, 2001, and thereafter shall be determined pursuant to the rules
contained in this Appendix A. Each H. D. Vest Plan participant who has a Transfer Account under this Plan shall be considered a Participant in this Plan only with respect to the Transfer
Account unless the individual satisfies the definition of Participant in Section 2.1 of the Plan and the individual elects to have the Transfer Account become subject to all of the terms of
this Plan as provided in Section 1.4 of this Appendix A. 

    Section 1.3.  Each
participant in the H.D. Vest Plan shall be provided with the opportunity to elect to have the Transfer Account become subject to all of the
terms and conditions of this Plan as provided in Section 1.4 below. The Company shall determine the date by which such election must be filed with and accepted and approved by the Company. The
Transfer Account shall become subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Plan effective as of the first business day that is at least 30 calendar days after the date the election is accepted
and approved by the Company. The result of such an election will be that, beginning as of the effective date of the election, the participant's Transfer Account will be subject to all of the terms and
conditions of this Plan and will no longer be subject to the terms and conditions of the H.D. Vest Plan. Prior to the effective date of the election, the participant's Transfer Account shall remain
subject to the same terms as those contained in the former H.D. Vest Plan (incorporated herein by reference). If a participant in the H.D. Vest Plan does not elect to have the Transfer Account become
subject to the terms and conditions of this Plan, the Transfer Account shall remain subject to the same terms as those contained in the former H.D. Vest Plan (incorporated herein by reference) except
as those terms are modified in Section 1.5 below. 

    Section 1.4.  If
a participant in the H.D. Vest Plan elects to have his or her Transfer Account become subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Plan
and such election is accepted and approved by the Company, the following rules apply to the Transfer Account: 

	(a)
	The
Company shall credit the participant's Transfer Account with an additional amount so that, after such credit is made, the Transfer Account balance as of the effective date of
the election shall equal the present value of the projected benefit of the participant as of the expiration of the deferral periods elected by the participant under the H.D. Vest Plan and in effect as
of December 31, 2001, assuming continued service as an independent contractor for the remaining portion of the deferral periods elected, discounted back to the effective date of the election at
an annual rate of five percent (5%).

	(b)
	A
Participant subject to this Section 1.4 shall complete a distribution election form pursuant to Article VIII of this Plan. All distributions from the Participant's
Transfer Account shall be made in accordance with Article VIII effective as of the effective date of the election. 

–19–

 

	(c)
	A
Participant subject to this Section 1.4 shall complete an investment request form for the Transfer Account subject to the provisions of Article VI of this Plan. The
provisions of Article VI shall apply to the Transfer Account effective as of the effective date of the election. If the Participant elects to have all or a portion of his or her Transfer
Account measured by the value of the Common Stock, the Company shall credit the Participant's Transfer Account with an additional amount equal to 10% of the amount of the Transfer Account that the
Participant elected to be measured by the value of the Common Stock. Such additional amount shall be measured by the value of the Common Stock pursuant to the provisions of Article VI of this
Plan. No Participant shall be entitled to allocate or reallocate any such additional amounts (including any adjustments to such amounts under Section 6.2(c) of the Plan) to an investment option
other than one based on the value of Company Stock unless the Company determines that such an investment option will no longer be available.

	(d)
	The
Participant's Transfer Account shall be one hundred percent (100%) Vested at all times. 

    Section 1.5.  If
a participant in the H.D. Vest Plan does not elect to have his or her Transfer Account become subject to all of the terms and conditions of this
Plan pursuant to an election that is filed with and accepted and approved by the Company, the following rules apply to the Transfer Account: 

	(a)
	The
Transfer Account payable to or on behalf of such Participant shall be determined by calculating the benefit payable to the Participant based on the amounts credited to the
participant's H.D. Vest
Plan accounts as of December 31, 2001, and the elections made by the participant under the H.D. Vest Plan prior to December 31, 2001.

	(b)
	Subject
to paragraph (c) of this Section 1.5, the Transfer Account so established for such Participant shall be credited at the end of the deferral periods originally
selected under the H.D. Vest Plan with an additional amount determined in accordance with the terms of the H.D. Vest Plan pursuant to which such deferrals were made.

	(c)
	Notwithstanding
any provision herein to the contrary, if, however, a Participant for whom a Transfer Account is established pursuant to this Section 1.5 ceases to provide any
investment or other services to or with respect to a Participating Company before the expiration of the deferral period elected by the Participant under the H.D. Vest Plan, attainment of age 65, death
or Disability, no additional amounts shall be credited to the Participant's Transfer Account under Section 1.5(b) of this Appendix A.

	(d)
	Except
as provided under Section 8.2(c) of this Plan, the amount credited to the Transfer Account under this Section 1.5 shall be distributed to or on behalf of the
