(i) The employment of the Executive hereunder shall terminate (A) upon the death of the Executive, and (B) at the option of the Company, upon not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice to the Executive or his personal representative or guardian, if the Executive suffers a “Total Disability” (as defined in Section 5(c) (ii) below).

Page 11 of 22

 

representative, as the case may be, in addition to any insurance or disability benefits to which he may be entitled hereunder, the “Accrued Rights” (as defined in Section 5(h) hereof). Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the payment of any amount under this Section 5(c) on account of the Executive’s Total Disability is deemed to constitute deferred compensation for purposes of Section 409A of the Code, and such Total Disability does not constitute a “disability” under Section 409A(a)(2)(C) of the Code, then payment of such amount shall be deferred and made on the first business day following the expiration of the six (6) month period following the Executive’s Separation from Service (as defined in Section 6(j)).

(ii) For purposes of this Agreement, “Total Disability” shall mean (A) if the Executive is subject to a legal decree of incompetency (the date of such decree being deemed the date on which such disability occurred), (B) the written determination by a physician selected by mutual agreement of the Executive and the Company that, because of a medically determinable disease, injury or other physical or mental disability, the Executive is unable substantially to perform each of the material duties of the Executive required hereby, and that such disability has lasted for the immediately preceding ninety (90) days and is, as of the date of determination, reasonably expected to last an additional six (6) months or longer after the date of determination, in each case based upon medically available reliable information, or (C) qualification by the Executive for benefits under the Company’s long-term disability coverage, if any.

(iii) The date of any legal decree of incompetency or written opinion which is conclusive as to the Total Disability of the Executive shall be deemed the date on which such Total Disability occurred. Any leave on account of illness or temporary disability which is short of Total Disability shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement by the Executive, and in no event shall any party be entitled to terminate this Agreement for Good Cause due to any such leave. All physicians selected hereunder shall be board-certified in the specialty most closely related to the nature of the disability alleged to exist. In conjunction with determining mental and/or physical disability for purposes of this Agreement, the Executive consents to any such examinations which are relevant to a determination of whether he is mentally and/or physically disabled, and which are required by the aforesaid Company physician, and to furnish such medical information as may be reasonably requested, and to waive any applicable physician patient privilege that may arise because of such examination.

(d) Termination For Good Cause.

(i) The Company may, upon action of the Board in accordance with Section 5(d) (iii) hereof, terminate the employment of the Executive at any time for “Good Cause” (as defined below).

(ii) For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Cause” means:

(A)A material failure by the Executive to comply with any material obligation imposed by this Agreement (including, without limitation, any violation of Section 4 hereof);

(B)The Executive’s continued material failure, after being provided notice specifying the nature of such failure, to comply with a direction of the Executive Chairman or Board with respect to a material act, omission or failure to act on 

 

Page 12 of 22

 

the part of the Executive;

 

(C)A material breach of the Executive’s fiduciary obligations to the Company;

(D)Gross negligence, willful misconduct or willful malfeasance by the Executive in connection with the performance of any material duty for the Company;

(E)A violation by the Executive of any legal requirement or obligation relating to the Company that the Board of Directors, acting in good faith, reasonably determines is likely to have a material adverse impact on the Company (unless the Executive had a reasonable, good faith belief that the act, omission or failure to act in question was not a violation of such legal requirement or obligation);

(F)The Executive’s indictment for, conviction of, or plea of guilty or nolo contendere to a felony involving theft, embezzlement, bribery, kickback, fraud, or dishonesty;

(G)Theft, embezzlement, bribery, kickback, or fraud by the Executive in connection with the performance of his duties for the Company;

(H)A material failure to comply with any lawful direction of the Executive Chairman or Board of Directors of the Company;

(I)A material violation of the Company’s Standards of Conduct or any other published Company policy; and

(J)Any act, omission or failure to act on the part of the Executive (including an act, omission or failure to act prior to the commencement of the Executive’s employment with the Company) that results in the inability of the Executive to secure or maintain security clearances necessary or appropriate to Executive’s position as President and Chief Executive Officer and the conduct of the Company’s business; and

(K)The   misappropriation   of   any   material   business   opportunity. “Good Cause” shall be based only on material matters and not on matters of minor importance.

(iii) The Executive may be terminated for Good Cause only in accordance with a resolution duly adopted by an absolute majority of the entire number of the non-management directors of the Company finding that, in the good faith opinion of the Board, the Executive engaged in conduct justifying a termination for Good Cause and specifying the particulars of the conduct motivating the Board’s decision to terminate the Executive for Good Cause, and provided that the Executive has been provided the time and opportunity to cure any act or omission susceptible to cure as hereinafter provided. Such resolution may be adopted by the Board only after the Board has provided to the Executive (A) advance written notice of a meeting of the Board called for the purpose of determining Good Cause for termination of the Executive, (B) a statement setting forth the alleged grounds for termination, and (C) an opportunity for the Executive, and, if the Executive so desires, the Executive’s counsel to be heard before the Board. 

 

Page 13 of 22

 

Prior to such meeting of the Board, the Executive shall be given a reasonable time period and opportunity to cure any act or omission which the Board, in its reasonable judgment, determines is susceptible of cure. The action required to cure the act or omission, and the time period in which cure must be affected, shall be communicated to the Executive in writing. The Board’s delay in providing such notice shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any such Good Cause nor does the failure to terminate for one Good Cause prevent any later Good Cause termination for a similar or different reason.

(e) Termination for Good Reason.

(i) The Executive may resign, and thereby terminate his employment, within six (6) months following the initial existence of “Good Reason” (as defined below). Following a Change in Control, the Executive may resign for Good Reason within twelve (12) months following the Change in Control Date. Before resigning, the Executive must provide the Company prior written notice to the Company of his intent to resign to for Good Reason. Such notice must be provided at least thirty (30) days’ prior to the Executive’s resignation date and must specify in reasonable detail the Good Reason for the Executive’s resignation. The Company shall have a reasonable opportunity to cure any such Good Reason (that is susceptible of cure) within thirty (30) days after the Company’s receipt of such notice. The Executive’s delay in providing such notice shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any such Good Reason, nor does the failure to resign for one Good Reason prevent any later Good Reason resignation for a similar or different reason.

(ii) For purposes of this Agreement, what constitutes a “Change of Control” shall have the same meaning as that set forth under the Company’s 2016 Amended and Restated Incentive Compensation Plan, as further amended by the Board of Directors, or any subsequent incentive compensation plan adopted by the Board from time to time in their sole discretion.

(iii) For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” means the occurrence of any of the following circumstances without the Executive’s written consent:

(A)A material failure by the Company to comply with any material obligation imposed by this Agreement;

(B)The Executive’s demotion from the position of President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company (as the parties recognize that any such demotion would be material);

(C)A material diminution in the Executive’s authority, duties or responsibilities;

(D)A material diminution in the budget over which the Executive retains authority resulting from an action of the Executive Chairman or the Board not directly related to Company performance; or

(E)A material change in the geographic location at which the Executive must perform his services hereunder, such that the Company requires the Executive to be based (excluding travel responsibilities in the ordinary course of business) 

 

Page 14 of 22

 

at any office or location more than fifty (50) miles from the current location of the main office of the Company, which is at 1100 N. Glebe Road, Arlington, Virginia 22201; or

(F)A material reduction in the Executive’s base compensation, or his bonus or benefits opportunities.

(iv) Following the date on which a Change of Control event is legally consummated and legally binding upon the parties (the “Change of Control Date”), Good Reason shall also include the occurrence of any of the following circumstances without the Executive’s written consent:

(A)The Executive ceases to be an “Executive Officer” (as such term is defined by the Securities Exchange Act of 1933); or

(B)The failure by any successor to the Company to expressly assume all obligations of the Company under this Agreement.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall any action otherwise meeting the definition of Good Reason under clauses 5(e)(ii) above taken by the Company for Good Cause, constitute, or be deemed to constitute, grounds for Good Reason termination hereunder.

(f)Resignation other than for Good Reason. The Executive may resign and thereby terminate his employment under this Agreement at any time upon not less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice.

(g)Termination without Good Cause. The Company may, for any or no reason, terminate the employment of the Executive under this Agreement at any time upon not less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice.

(h) [Payments upon Termination.

(i) Without Good Cause (Not In Connection With a Change in Control). In the event the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company without “Good Cause,” or by the Executive for “Good Reason,” more than 180 days before, or more than twelve (12) months following, a Change in Control Date, then the following provisions shall apply:

(A)The Company shall pay to the Executive an amount equal to twenty-four (24) months of the Executive’s “Current Base Salary.” For this purpose, the Executive’s “Current Base Salary” shall be deemed to be the highest Base Salary paid to the Executive at any time during the thirty-six (36) months prior to termination of the Executive’s employment, whether as President and Chief Executive Officer or otherwise. Such payment shall be made in a single lump sum following the Executive’s execution and delivery of the release provided for in Section 5(h)(iv), which has become irrevocable by its terms in conformance with the provisions of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”), at the time specified in Section 5(h)(iv).

(B)The Executive shall continue to participate in, and be covered under, the Company’s health care coverage for a period of one (1) year following the 

 

Page 15 of 22

 

termination of the Executive’s employment (the “Medical Benefits Continuation Period”) on the same basis as other senior executives of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Executive accepts employment with another entity that provides health care coverage during the Medical Benefits Continuation Period, the Company shall not provide the Executive with health care coverage under this Section (but the Executive shall retain any rights to continuation coverage that he may have under applicable law). For purposes of the Executive’s continuation coverage rights under Section 601 et. seq. of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, Section 4980B of the Code, or any similar state or local law, the continuation period shall be deemed to have commenced as of the beginning of the period for which the Company has agreed to continue benefits following the Executive’s termination of employment. To the extent that the coverage provided to the Executive is taxable for federal income tax purposes, then the Executive, shall pay the full cost of coverage during the Medical Benefits Continuation Period and the Company shall pay the Executive (in cash, less required withholding) an amount equal to (i) the cost of such coverage, less any amount that would have been payable by the Executive if he were actively employed by the Company, plus (ii) an additional amount designed to cover all estimated applicable local, state and federal income and payroll taxes imposed on the Executive with respect to such additional payment. Any additional amount payable in accordance with this Section 5(h)(i)(B) shall be paid to the Executive in cash (less required withholding), on a monthly basis, at the same time that the underlying medical coverage benefit is provided to the Executive. In determining the amount of such payment, the Executive shall be deemed to pay federal income tax at the highest marginal rate applicable to individuals in the calendar year in which the payment is made and to pay state and local income taxes at the highest effective rate in the state or locality in which such payment is taxable. All payments made under this Section 5(h)(i)(B) shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Treas. Reg. §1.409A-3(i)(1).

(C)The Company shall pay to the Executive, without duplication, (i) the Base Salary through the date of termination, (ii) any incentive compensation earned but unpaid as of the date of termination for any fiscal year prior to the year in which such termination occurs; (iii) reimbursement for any unreimbursed business expenses properly incurred by the Executive prior to the date of termination (in accordance with Section 3(c) hereof); and (iv) such employee benefits and accrued leave, if any, to which the Executive is entitled under the employee benefit plans and arrangements of the Company (in accordance with Section 3(d)(i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) hereof) (the amounts described in clauses (i) through (iv) hereof being referred to as the “Accrued Rights”).

(D) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the treatment and vesting of any equity incentive awards granted to Executive shall be governed by the terms of the applicable award agreement and the Company’s 2016 Amended and Restated Incentive Compensation Plan, as further amended by the Board of Directors, or any subsequent incentive compensation plan adopted by the Board of Directors from time to time in their sole discretion.

(ii) Without Good Cause (In Connection With A Change In Control). In the event the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company without “Good Cause,” or by the Executive for “Good Reason,” within 180 days prior to, or within twelve (12) months 

 

Page 16 of 22

 

following, a Change in Control, then the following provisions shall apply:

(A)The Company shall pay to the Executive an amount equal to twenty-four (24) months of the Executive’s Current Base Salary (as defined in Section 5(h)(i)(A) above). Such payment shall be made in a single lump sum following the Executive’s execution and delivery of the release provided for in Section 5(h)(iv), which has become irrevocable by its terms in conformance with the provisions of Section 409A of the Code, at the time specified in Section 5(h)(iv).

(B)The Company shall pay to the Executive a prorated portion of the cash incentive (including, for this purpose, the annual component and any partial quarterly component) otherwise payable to the Executive for the fiscal year of termination under the Incentive Plan (or any replacement bonus arrangement covering the Executive). Such amount shall be determined based on Company performance consistent with the cash incentive paid under the Incentive Plan to comparable active executives in good standing who meet expectations and remained on the payroll and eligible for a bonus. The amount payable shall be determined by multiplying the cash incentive that the Executive would have received had his employment not terminated, by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of months in the fiscal year (in the case of the annual component) or fiscal quarter (in the case of the quarterly component) during which Executive was employed (including the month in which the termination occurs) and the denominator of which is twelve (in the case of the annual component) or three (in the case of the quarterly component). The amount payable to the Executive in accordance with this Section shall be paid in a lump sum on the date on which the Company pays bonuses for the fiscal year of termination to actively employed senior executives; provided, however, in no event shall such payment be made more than 2 1/2 months following the close of the fiscal year of the Company to which such bonus relates.

(C)The Company shall pay to the Executive an amount equal to two (2) times the average cash incentive (including, for this purpose, any quarterly and annual components) actually paid to the Executive under the Incentive Plan for the five (5) fiscal years immediately preceding the year of termination, whether as President and Chief Executive Officer or otherwise. Subject to the provisions of Paragraph 6(j) of this Agreement, such payment shall be made in a single lump sum following the Executive’s execution and delivery of the release provided for in Section 5(h)(iv), which has become irrevocable by its terms in conformance with the provisions of Section 409A of the Code, at the time specified in Section 5(h)(iv).

(D)The Executive shall be entitled to the payments and benefits described in Section 5(h) (i) (B) and 5(h) (i) (C) above.

(E) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the treatment and vesting of any equity incentive awards granted to Executive shall be governed by the terms of the applicable award agreement and the Company’s 2016 Amended and Restated Incentive Compensation Plan, as further amended by the Board of Directors, or any subsequent incentive compensation plan adopted by the Board of Directors from time to time in their sole discretion.

 

Page 17 of 22

 

(iii) Good Cause. In the event the Executive’s employment is terminated (i) by the Company for Good Cause, or (ii) by the Executive without Good Reason, then the Company shall have no duty to make any payments or provide any benefits to the Executive pursuant to this Agreement (other than the Accrued Rights).

(iv) Release. As a condition of receiving the payment provided for in Sections 5(h)(i)(A) and 5(h)(ii)(A) and (C), the Executive agrees to release the Company and its Affiliates, officers, directors, stockholders, employees, agents, representatives, and successors from and against any and all claims that the Executive may have against any such Person relating to the Executive’s employment by the Company and the termination thereof, such release to be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company. Subject to the provisions of Paragraph 6(j) of this Agreement, the first payment provided for in Sections 5(h)(i)(A) and 5(h)(ii)(A) and (C) shall be made on the Company’s first regular payroll date following the sixtieth (60th) day after the termination date (and will include any payment installment that would have otherwise been paid during the period following the termination date through the date of the first payment), provided that the release is irrevocable as of such date.

(i) No Disparaging Comments. While employed by the Company and at all times thereafter, the Executive shall refrain from making any disparaging remarks in any communication (oral, written, electronic or through any form of media (including, without limitation, social media, or otherwise)). about the businesses, services, products, members, managers, officers, directors, employees or other personnel of the Company and/or its Affiliates. 

6.Miscellaneous.

(a)ARBITRATION. SUBJECT TO THE RIGHTS UNDER SECTION 4(e) TO SEEK INJUNCTIVE OR OTHER EQUITABLE RELIEF AS SPECIFIED IN THIS AGREEMENT, ANY DISPUTE BETWEEN THE PARTIES HERETO ARISING UNDER OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE AMOUNT OF DAMAGES, THE NATURE OF THE EXECUTIVE’S TERMINATION OR THE CALCULATION OF ANY BONUS OR OTHER AMOUNT OR BENEFIT DUE) SHALL BE RESOLVED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE MODEL EMPLOYMENT ARBITRATION PROCEDURES OF THE AMERICAN ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION. ANY RESULTING HEARING SHALL BE HELD IN THE JURISDICTION APPROPRIATE TO THE PRINCIPAL LOCATION AT WHICH THE EXECUTIVE PROVIDED HIS SERVICES HEREUNDER (CURRENTLY ARLINGTON, VIRGINIA). THE RESOLUTION OF ANY DISPUTE ACHIEVED THROUGH SUCH ARBITRATION SHALL BE BINDING AND ENFORCEABLE BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION. COSTS AND FEES INCURRED IN CONNECTION WITH SUCH ARBITRATION SHALL BE BORNE BY THE PARTIES AS DETERMINED BY THE ARBITRATION.

(b)Indemnification and Insurance. The Company hereby agree to indemnify Executive and hold Executive harmless, to the maximum extent permitted by law, against and in respect of any and all actions, suits, proceedings, claims, demands, judgments, costs, expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees), losses, and damages (collectively, “Claims and Expenses”) resulting from Executive’s good faith performance of Executive’s duties and obligations as an officer or director of the Company, any Subsidiary or as a fiduciary of any benefit plan of any of the foregoing or in any other role any of them request Executive to serve; provided, that Executive 

 

Page 18 of 22

 

shall not be entitled to indemnification hereunder against Claims and Expenses that are finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from Executive’s fraud or willful misconduct. During the Employment Period, the Company shall provide directors’ and officers’ liability insurance covering the Executive and errors and omissions insurance covering the activities of the Executive in the exercise of the Executive’s duties in the interest of the Company comparable to and no less favorable to the Executive than similar insurance provided by the Company to or for other senior executives of the Company.

(c)Cooperation. The parties agree that certain matters in which the Executive will be involved during the Employment Period may necessitate the Executive's cooperation in the future. Accordingly, following the termination of the Executive’s employment for any reason, to the extent reasonably requested by the Board, the Executive shall cooperate with the Company in connection with matters arising out of the Executive’s service to the Company; provided that, the Company shall make reasonable efforts to minimize disruption of the Executive’s other activities. The Company shall reimburse the Executive for reasonable expenses incurred in connection with such cooperation.

(d) Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the agreements, schedules and exhibits incorporated herein by reference contain the entire agreement between the Executive and the Company with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersede any and all prior understandings or agreements, whether written or oral, including, without limitation, the Employee Agreement dated February 21, 2012, the Indemnification Agreement dated July 19, 2012, and the Severance Compensation Agreement dated July 1, 2012,  between the Company and the Executive.  This Agreement does not supersede or affect the terms of any Supplemental Executive Retirement Agreement to be provided to the Executive. No modification or addition hereto or waiver or cancellation of any provision hereof shall be valid except by a writing signed by the party to be charged therewith.

(e)Waiver. No waiver by either party hereto of any of the requirements imposed by this Agreement on, or any breach of any condition or provision of this Agreement to be performed by, the other party shall be deemed a waiver of a similar or dissimilar requirement, provision or condition of this Agreement at the same or any prior or subsequent time. Any such waiver shall be express and in writing, and there shall be no waiver by conduct. Pursuit by either party of any available remedy, either in law or equity, or any action of any kind, does not constitute waiver of any other remedy or action. Such remedies are cumulative and not exclusive.

(f)Governing Law. The validity, interpretation, construction and performance of this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia applicable to contracts executed by, and to be performed entirely within, said State, without regard to principles of conflict of laws.

(g)Successors and Assigns; Binding Agreement. The rights and obligations of the parties under this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their heirs, personal representatives, successors and permitted assigns. This Agreement is a personal contract, and, except as specifically set forth herein, the rights and interests of the Executive herein may not be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated by any party without the prior written consent of the others. As used herein, the term “successor” as it relates to the Company, shall include, but not be limited to, any successor by way of merger, consolidation,

(h)Representation by Counsel. Each of the parties hereto acknowledges that (i) it or he has read this Agreement in its entirety and understands all of its terms and conditions, (ii) it or he has had the opportunity to consult with any individuals of its or his choice regarding its or his agreement to the provisions contained herein, including legal counsel of its or his choice, and any decision not to was his or its alone, and (iii) it or he is entering into this Agreement of its or his own free will, without coercion from any source.

(i)Interpretation. The parties and their respective legal counsel actively participated in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement, and in the event of any ambiguity or mistake herein, or any dispute among the parties with respect to the provisions hereto, no provision of this Agreement shall be construed unfavorably against any of the parties on the ground that he, it, or his or its counsel was the drafter thereof.

To the extent that Section 409A of the Code applies to any election or payment required under this Agreement, such payment or election shall be made in conformance with the provisions of Section 409A of the Code. Certain provisions of this Agreement are intended to constitute a short-term deferral under Treas. Reg. §1.409A-1(b)(4) or a separation pay arrangement that does not provide for the deferral of compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code (under the short-term deferral exception).

WELLS
FARGO FINANCE LLC, a limited liability company duly organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware (hereinafter
called the “Company,” which term includes any successor corporation under and as defined in the Indenture hereinafter
referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to CEDE & Co., or registered assigns, an amount equal to the
Cash Settlement Amount (as defined below), in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment
is legal tender for payment of public and private debts, on the Stated Maturity Date. The “Stated Maturity Date”
shall be January 27, 2021. If the Determination Date (as defined below) is postponed, the Stated Maturity Date will be postponed

Any

Determination
of Cash Settlement Amount and Certain Definitions

The
“Cash Settlement Amount” of this Security will equal:

 

		•	if
                                         the Final Underlier Level is greater than or equal to the Cap Level, the Maximum Settlement
                                         Amount;

 

    	 	 	 

    	 

    

 

		•	if
                                         the Final Underlier Level is greater than the Initial Underlier Level but less than the
                                         Cap Level, the sum of (i) the Face Amount plus (ii) the product of (a) the
                                         Face Amount times (b) the Upside Participation Rate times (c) the Underlier
                                         Return;

 

		•	if
                                         the Final Underlier Level is equal to or less than the Initial Underlier Level but greater
                                         than or equal to the Buffer Level, the Face Amount; or

 

		•	if
                                         the Final Underlier Level is less than the Buffer Level, the sum of (i) the Face
                                         Amount plus (ii) the product of (a) the Buffer Rate times (b) the sum
                                         of the Underlier Return plus the Buffer Amount times (c) the Face Amount.

 

All
calculations with respect to the Cash Settlement Amount will be rounded to the nearest one hundred-thousandth, with five one-millionths
rounded upward (e.g., 0.000005 would be rounded to 0.00001); and the Cash Settlement Amount will be rounded to the nearest
cent, with one-half cent rounded upward.

 

The
“Underlier” shall mean the MSCI EAFE Index®.

by the Underlier Sponsor on such Trading Day, as obtained by the Calculation Agent on such Trading Day from the licensed third-party
market data vendor contracted by the Calculation Agent at such time; in particular, taking into account the decimal precision

Adjustments
to the Underlier

If
at any time the method of calculating the Underlier or a Successor Underlier, or the closing level thereof, is changed in a material
respect, or if the Underlier or a Successor Underlier is in any other way modified so that such underlier does not, in the opinion
of the Calculation Agent, fairly represent the level of such underlier had those changes or modifications not been made, then
the Calculation Agent will, at the close of business in New York, New York, on each date that the closing level of such underlier
is to be calculated, make such

    	 	3	 

    	 

    

calculations
and adjustments as, in the good faith judgment of the Calculation Agent, may be necessary in order to arrive at a level of an
underlier comparable to the Underlier or Successor Underlier as if those changes or modifications had not been made, and the Calculation
Agent will calculate the closing level of the Underlier or Successor Underlier with reference to such underlier, as so adjusted.
Accordingly, if the method of calculating the Underlier or Successor Underlier is modified so that the level of such underlier
is a fraction or a multiple of what it would have been if it had not been modified (e.g., due to a split or reverse split in such
equity underlier), then the Calculation Agent will adjust the Underlier or Successor Underlier in order to arrive at a level of
such underlier as if it had not been modified (e.g., as if the split or reverse split had not occurred).

Discontinuance
of the Underlier

If
the Underlier Sponsor discontinues publication of the Underlier, and the Underlier Sponsor or another entity publishes a successor
or substitute equity index that the Calculation Agent determines, in its sole discretion, to be comparable to the Underlier (a
“Successor Underlier”), then, upon the Calculation Agent’s notification of that determination to the
Trustee and the Company, the Calculation Agent will substitute the Successor Underlier as calculated by the relevant Underlier
Sponsor or any other entity and calculate the Final Underlier Level as described above. Upon any selection by the Calculation
Agent of a Successor Underlier, the Company will cause notice to be given to the Holder of this Security.

In
the event that the Underlier Sponsor discontinues publication of the Underlier prior to, and the discontinuance is continuing
on, the Determination Date and the Calculation Agent determines that no Successor Underlier is available at such time, the Calculation
Agent will calculate a substitute Closing Level for the Underlier in accordance with the formula for and method of calculating
the Underlier last in effect prior to the discontinuance, but using only those securities that comprised the Underlier immediately
prior to that discontinuance. If a Successor Underlier is selected or the Calculation Agent calculates a level as a substitute
for the Underlier, the Successor Underlier or level will be used as a substitute for the Underlier for all purposes, including
the purpose of determining whether a Market Disruption Event exists.

If
on the Determination Date the Underlier Sponsor fails to calculate and announce the level of the Underlier, the Calculation Agent
will calculate a substitute Closing Level of the Underlier in accordance with the formula for and method of calculating the Underlier
last in effect prior to the failure, but using only those securities that comprised the Underlier immediately prior to that failure;
provided that, if a Market Disruption Event occurs or is continuing on such day, then the provisions set forth below under
“Market Disruption Events” shall apply in lieu of the foregoing.

Market
Disruption Events 

A
“Market Disruption Event” means any of (A), (B), (C) or (D) below, as determined by the Calculation Agent in
its sole discretion:

 

		(A)	Any

                                         Scheduled Closing Time for the Relevant Stock Exchange for such security on that day,
                                         whether by reason of movements in price exceeding limits permitted by the Relevant Stock
                                         Exchange or otherwise;

		•	any
                                         event, other than an early closure, that materially disrupts or impairs the ability of
                                         market participants in general to effect transactions in, or obtain market values for,

                                         ends at the Scheduled Closing Time for the Relevant Stock Exchange for such security

                                         Stock Exchange at least one hour prior to the earlier of (i) the actual closing time
                                         for the regular trading session on such Relevant Stock Exchange and (ii) the submission
                                         deadline for orders to be entered into the Relevant Stock Exchange system for execution

                                         trading on such Related Futures or Options Exchange on that day, whether by reason of
                                         movements in price exceeding limits permitted by the Related Futures or Options Exchange
                                         or otherwise;

		•	any
                                         event, other than an early closure, that materially disrupts or impairs the ability of

                                         Futures or Options Exchange at least one hour prior to the earlier of (i) the actual
                                         closing time for the regular trading session on such Related Futures or Options Exchange

		(C)	The
                                         underlier sponsor fails to publish the level of the Underlier or any Successor Underlier
                                         (other than as a result of the underlier sponsor having discontinued

    	 	5	 

    	 

    

publication
of the Underlier or Successor Underlier and no Successor Underlier being available).

		(D)	Any
                                         Related Futures or Options Exchange fails to open for trading during its regular trading
                                         session.

For
purposes of determining whether a Market Disruption Event has occurred:

(1)
       the relevant percentage contribution of a security included in the Underlier or any
Successor Underlier to the level of such underlier will be based on a comparison of (x) the portion of the level of such
underlier attributable to that security to (y) the overall level of such underlier, in each case using the official opening
weightings as published by the underlier sponsor as part of the market opening data;

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

(3)
       an “Exchange Business Day” means any Trading Day on which (i) the
underlier sponsor publishes the level of the Underlier or any Successor Underlier and (ii) each Related Futures or Options
Exchange is open for trading during its regular trading session, notwithstanding any Related Futures or Options Exchange closing
prior to its Scheduled Closing Time.

If
a Market Disruption Event occurs or is continuing on the Determination Date, then the Determination Date will be postponed to
the first succeeding Trading Day on which a Market Disruption Event has not occurred and is not continuing; however, if such first
succeeding Trading Day has not occurred as of the eighth Trading Day after the originally scheduled Determination Date, that eighth
Trading Day shall be deemed to be the Determination Date. If the Determination Date has been postponed eight Trading Days after
the originally scheduled Determination Date and a Market Disruption Event occurs or is continuing on such eighth Trading Day,
the Calculation Agent will determine the Closing Level of the Underlier on such eighth Trading Day in accordance with the formula
for and method of calculating the Closing Level of the Underlier last in effect prior to commencement of the Market Disruption
Event, using the closing price (or, with respect to any relevant security, if a Market Disruption Event has occurred with respect
to such security, its good faith estimate of the value of such security at the time at which the official Closing Level of the
Underlier is calculated and published by the Underlier Sponsor) on such date of each security included in the Underlier. As used
herein, “closing price” means, with respect to any security on any date, the Relevant Stock Exchange traded
or quoted price of such security as of the time at which the official Closing Level of the Underlier is calculated and published
by the Underlier Sponsor.

Calculation
Agent

The
Calculation Agent will determine the Cash Settlement Amount and the Final Underlier Level. In addition, the Calculation Agent
will (i) determine if adjustments are required to the Closing Level of the Underlier under the circumstances described in this
Security, (ii) if publication

    	 	6	 

    	 

    

of
the Underlier is discontinued, select a Successor Underlier or, if no Successor Underlier is available, determine the Closing
Level of the Underlier under the circumstances described in this Security, and (iii) determine whether a Market Disruption Event
or non-Trading Day has occurred.

The
Company covenants that, so long as this Security is Outstanding, there shall at all times be a Calculation Agent (which shall
be a broker-dealer, bank or other financial institution) with respect to this Security.

All
determinations made by the Calculation Agent with respect to this Security will be at the sole discretion of the Calculation Agent
and, in the absence of manifest error, will be conclusive for all purposes and binding on the Company and the Holder of this Security.

Tax
Considerations

The
Company agrees, and by acceptance of a beneficial ownership interest in this Security each Holder of this Security will be deemed
to have agreed (in the absence of a statutory, regulatory, administrative or judicial ruling to the contrary), for United States
federal income tax purposes to characterize and treat this Security as a prepaid derivative contract that is an “open transaction.”

Redemption
and Repayment

This
Security is not subject to redemption at the option of the Company or repayment at the option of the Holder hereof prior to January
27, 2021. This Security is not entitled to any sinking fund.

Acceleration

If
an Event of Default, as defined in the Indenture, with respect to this Security shall occur and be continuing, the Cash Settlement
Amount (calculated as set forth in the next sentence) of this Security may be declared due and payable in the manner and with
the effect provided in the Indenture. The amount payable to the Holder hereof upon any acceleration permitted under the Indenture
will be equal to the Cash Settlement Amount hereof calculated as provided herein as though the date of acceleration was the Determination
Date.

_________________

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.

Principal
at Risk Securities Linked to the MSCI EAFE Index®

 

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 April 25, 2018, as amended or supplemented from time to
time (herein called the “Indenture”), among the Company, as issuer, Wells Fargo & Company, as guarantor
(the “Guarantor”) 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 Guarantor,
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 A, 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.

Guarantee

The
Securities of this series are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Guarantor as and to the extent set forth in the Indenture.

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 Guarantor and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series to be affected under the Indenture
at any time by the

    	 	9	 

    	 

    

Company,
the Guarantor and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time
Outstanding of all series to be affected, acting together as a class. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders
of a majority in principal amount of the Securities of all series at the time Outstanding affected by certain provisions of the
Indenture, acting together as a class, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Company
or the Guarantor with those provisions of the Indenture. Certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences may
be waived under the Indenture by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities of each series at the time Outstanding,
on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series. Solely for the purpose of determining whether any consent, waiver,
notice or other action or Act to be taken or given by the Holders of Securities pursuant to the Indenture has been given or taken
by the Holders of Outstanding Securities in the requisite aggregate principal amount, the principal amount of this Security will
be deemed to be equal to the amount set forth on the face hereof as the “Face Amount” hereof. Any such consent or
waiver by the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security
and of any Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation
of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security.

an equal aggregate Face Amount will be issued to the transferee in exchange herefor, as provided in the Indenture and subject
to the limitations provided therein and to the limitations described below, without charge except for any tax or other governmental
charge imposed in connection therewith.

This

it shall be exchangeable for definitive Securities in registered 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

Company, the Guarantor 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 Guarantor, the Trustee nor any such agent shall

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.
