MEDIUM-TERM NOTE, SERIES A

Fully and Unconditionally Guaranteed by Wells Fargo & Company

Principal at Risk Securities Linked to the Lowest Performing of the

Common Stock of General Dynamics Corporation, the Common Stock of Raytheon Company

and the Common Stock of Lockheed Martin Corporation due January 30, 2025

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 Maturity Payment Amount (as defined below) on the Stated Maturity Date (as defined below), unless this Security is automatically called prior to the Stated Maturity Date as provided below under “Automatic Call,” and to pay Contingent Coupon Payments (as defined below) on the Face Amount of this Security to the extent provided herein on the Contingent Coupon Payment Dates specified herein at the Contingent Coupon Rate (as defined below) until the earlier of the Stated Maturity Date and the Call Settlement Date (as defined below), if any.  The “Initial Stated Maturity Date” shall be January 30, 2025.  If the Final Calculation Day (as defined below) is not postponed, the Initial Stated Maturity Date will be the “Stated Maturity Date.”  If the Final Calculation Day is postponed, the “Stated Maturity Date” shall be the later of (i) the Initial Stated Maturity Date and (ii) three Business Days (as defined below) after the last Final Calculation Day as postponed.

“Face Amount” shall mean, when used with respect to this Security, the amount set forth on the face of this Security as its “Face Amount.”

Automatic Call

If the Stock Closing Price (as defined below) of the Lowest Performing Underlying Stock (as defined below) on any of the quarterly Calculation Days (as defined below) from January 2021

to October 2024, inclusive, is greater than or equal to its Starting Price (as defined below), this Security will be automatically called by the Company, and on the related Call Settlement Date the Holder hereof will receive the Call Price (as defined below) plus a final Contingent Coupon Payment. Unless the Company defaults in the payment of the Call Price plus the final Contingent Coupon Payment, this Security will cease to be outstanding on such Call Settlement Date, no additional Contingent Coupon Payments will be payable on this Security and the Holder hereof will have no further rights under this Security after such Call Settlement Date.  The Holder hereof will not receive any notice from the Company in the event this Security is automatically called pursuant to the terms hereof.  The “Call Price” is equal to the Face Amount of this Security.  The “Call Settlement Date” for a Calculation Day shall be three Business Days after such Calculation Day, as such Calculation Day may be postponed as provided herein.  If a Calculation Day is postponed with respect to one or more Underlying Stocks, the related Call Settlement Date will be three Business Days after the last Calculation Day as postponed.

Payment of Contingent Coupon Payments, the Maturity Payment Amount and the Call Price

On each quarterly Contingent Coupon Payment Date, the Company shall pay a Contingent Coupon Payment if, and only if, the Stock Closing Price of the Lowest Performing Underlying Stock on the related Calculation Day is greater than or equal to its Threshold Price (as defined below).  A “Contingent Coupon Payment,” if payable as provided herein, shall be equal to (i) the product of the Face Amount of this Security and the Contingent Coupon Rate, (ii) divided by 4.  The “Contingent Coupon Payment Dates” shall be the third Business Day following each Calculation Day, as each such Calculation Day may be postponed as herein provided, provided that the Contingent Coupon Payment Date with respect to the Final Calculation Day will be the Stated Maturity Date.  If a Calculation Day is postponed with respect to one or more Underlying Stocks, the related Contingent Coupon Payment Date will be three Business Days after the last Calculation Day as postponed.  The “Contingent Coupon Rate” is 8.00% per annum. Any Contingent Coupon Payments will be rounded to the nearest cent, with one-half cent rounded upward. If a Contingent Coupon Payment Date is postponed, the Contingent Coupon Payment, if any, due on that Contingent Coupon Payment Date will be made on that Contingent Coupon Payment Date as so postponed with the same force and effect as if it had been made on the originally scheduled Contingent Coupon Payment Date, with no additional amount accruing or payable as a result of the postponement.

Any Contingent Coupon Payment so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Contingent Coupon Payment Date will, as provided in the Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such Contingent Coupon Payment next preceding such Contingent Coupon Payment Date.  The Regular Record Date for a Contingent Coupon Payment Date shall be the date one Business Day prior to such Contingent Coupon Payment Date. 

Any Contingent Coupon Payment not punctually paid or duly provided for will forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date and may either be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the Trustee, notice whereof shall be given to Holders of Securities of this series not less than 10 days

prior to such Special Record Date, or be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Securities of this series may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in the Indenture.

Payment of any Contingent Coupon Payment on this Security will be made in immediately available funds at the office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose in the City of Minneapolis, Minnesota; provided, however, that, at the option of the Company, payment of any Contingent Coupon Payment may be paid by check mailed to the Person entitled thereto at such Person’s last address as it appears in the Security Register or by wire transfer to such account as may have been designated by such Person.  Payments of any Contingent Coupon Payment and the Maturity Payment Amount or the Call Price, as applicable, on this Security at Maturity will be made against presentation of this Security at the office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose in the City of Minneapolis, Minnesota and at any other office or agency maintained by the Company for such purpose.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, for so long as this Security is a Global Security registered in the name of the Depositary, any payments on this Security will be made to the Depositary by wire transfer of immediately available funds. 

Payment of the Maturity Payment Amount or the Call Price, as applicable, and any Contingent Coupon Payments on this Security will be made in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts.

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

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

All calculations with respect to the Maturity Payment 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 Maturity Payment Amount will be rounded to the nearest cent, with one-half cent rounded upward.

“Underlying Stock” shall mean each of the common stock of General Dynamics Corporation, the common stock of Raytheon Company and the common stock of Lockheed Martin Corporation.

The “Pricing Date” shall mean January 21, 2020.

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

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

The “Starting Price” with respect to the common stock of General Dynamics Corporation is $183.29, its Stock Closing Price on the Pricing Date; with respect to the common stock of Raytheon Company is $228.99, its Stock Closing Price on the Pricing Date; and with respect to the common stock of Lockheed Martin Corporation is $426.15, its Stock Closing Price on the Pricing Date.

The “Ending Price” of an Underlying Stock will be its Stock Closing Price on the Final Calculation Day.

The “Threshold Price” with respect to the common stock of General Dynamics Corporation is $109.974, which is equal to 60% of its Starting Price; with respect to the common stock of Raytheon Company is $137.394, which is equal to 60% of its Starting Price; and with respect to the common stock of Lockheed Martin Corporation is $255.69, which is equal to 60% of its Starting Price.

The “Stock Closing Price” with respect to each Underlying Stock on a Calculation Day, means the product of the Closing Price of such Underlying Stock and the Adjustment Factor for such Underlying Stock, each on such Calculation Day.

The “Adjustment Factor” for each Underlying Stock is initially 1.0.  The Adjustment Factor for each Underlying Stock will remain constant for the term of this Security, subject to adjustment for certain corporate events relating to the applicable Underlying Stock Issuer as set forth below under “—Adjustment Events.”

“Underlying Stock Issuer” shall mean the issuer of each Underlying Stock.

“Business Day” shall mean a day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, that is neither a legal holiday nor a day on which banking institutions are authorized or required by law or regulation to close in New York, New York.

The “Calculation Days” shall be the 25^th day of each January, April, July and October, commencing April 2020 and ending October 2024, and the Final Calculation Day.  If any such day is not a Trading Day with respect to any Underlying Stock, such Calculation Day for each Underlying Stock will be postponed to the next succeeding day that is a Trading Day with

respect to each Underlying Stock.  A Calculation Day for an Underlying Stock is also subject to postponement due to the occurrence of a Market Disruption Event (as defined below) with respect to such Underlying Stock on such Calculation Day.  The “Final Calculation Day” is January 27, 2025.  If a Market Disruption Event occurs or is continuing with respect to an Underlying Stock on any Calculation Day, then such Calculation Day for such Underlying Stock will be postponed to the first succeeding Trading Day for such Underlying Stock on which a Market Disruption Event for such Underlying Stock has not occurred and is not continuing; however, if such first succeeding Trading Day has not occurred as of the eighth Trading Day for such Underlying Stock after the originally scheduled Calculation Day, that eighth Trading Day shall be deemed to be the Calculation Day for such Underlying Stock.  If a Calculation Day has been postponed eight Trading Days for an Underlying Stock after the originally scheduled Calculation Day and a Market Disruption Event occurs or is continuing with respect to such Underlying Stock on such eighth Trading Day, the Calculation Agent will determine the Closing Price (as defined below) of such Underlying Stock on such eighth Trading Day by using its good faith estimate of the Closing Price that would have prevailed for such Underlying Stock on such day. Notwithstanding the postponement of a Calculation Day for an Underlying Stock due to a Market Disruption Event with respect to such Underlying Stock on such Calculation Day, the originally scheduled Calculation Day will remain the Calculation Day for any Underlying Stock not affected by a Market Disruption Event on such day.

“Calculation Agent Agreement” shall mean the Calculation Agent Agreement dated as of May 18, 2018 between the Company and the Calculation Agent, as amended from time to time.

“Calculation Agent” shall mean the Person that has entered into the Calculation Agent Agreement with the Company providing for, among other things, the determination of whether this Security will be automatically called prior to stated maturity and whether a Contingent Coupon Payment will be made, the Call Price, if any, and the Maturity Payment Amount, if any, which term shall, unless the context otherwise requires, include its successors under such Calculation Agent Agreement.  The initial Calculation Agent shall be Wells Fargo Securities, LLC.  Pursuant to the Calculation Agent Agreement, the Company may appoint a different Calculation Agent from time to time after the initial issuance of this Security without the consent of the Holder of this Security and without notifying the Holder of this Security.

Certain Definitions

A “Trading Day” with respect to an Underlying Stock means a day, as determined by the Calculation Agent, on which trading is generally conducted on the principal trading market for such Underlying Stock (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.

The “Closing Price” for one share of an Underlying Stock (or one unit of any other security for which a Closing Price must be determined) on any Trading Day means:

of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), on which such Underlying Stock (or any such other security) is listed or admitted to trading; or

If such Underlying 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 such Underlying 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 such Underlying 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 such Underlying 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.

Market Disruption Events

A “Market Disruption Event,” with respect to an Underlying Stock, means the occurrence or existence of any of the following events:

The following events will not be Market Disruption Events:

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 such Underlying Stock or option or futures contracts relating to such Underlying Stock, as applicable, by reason of any of:

will constitute a “suspension, absence or material limitation of trading” in such Underlying Stock or those contracts, as the case may be, in the applicable market.

Adjustment Events

The Adjustment Factor for each Underlying Stock is initially 1.0. However, the Adjustment Factor for each Underlying Stock is 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 an Underlying Stock and the Calculation Agent determines that the event has a dilutive or concentrative effect on the market price of such Underlying Stock, the Calculation Agent will calculate a corresponding adjustment to the Adjustment Factor for such Underlying Stock as the Calculation Agent deems appropriate to account for that dilutive or concentrative effect. For example, if an adjustment is required because of a two-for-one stock split, then the Adjustment Factor for such Underlying Stock will be adjusted by the Calculation Agent by multiplying the existing Adjustment Factor by a fraction whose numerator is the number of shares of such Underlying Stock outstanding immediately after the stock split and whose denominator is the number of shares of such Underlying Stock outstanding immediately prior to the stock split. Consequently, the Adjustment Factor for such

Underlying Stock will be adjusted to double the prior Adjustment Factor, due to the corresponding decrease in the market price of such Underlying Stock.  Adjustments will be made for events with an effective date or Ex-Dividend Date (as defined below), as applicable, from but excluding the Pricing Date to and including the applicable Calculation Day (the “Adjustment Period”).

The Calculation Agent will also determine the effective date of that adjustment, and the replacement of an Underlying Stock, if applicable, in the event of a consolidation or merger or certain other events in respect of the applicable Underlying 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 Adjustment Factor of such Underlying Stock. The Calculation Agent will not be required to make any adjustments to the Adjustment Factor for purposes of calculating the Stock Closing Price for a Calculation Day after the close of business on the such Calculation Day; provided that any such adjustments to the Adjustment Factor will be taken into account for purposes of determining the Stock Closing Price for any subsequent Calculation Day. In no event, however, will an antidilution adjustment to the Adjustment Factor of an Underlying Stock during the term of this Security be deemed to change the Face Amount of this Security.

If more than one event requiring adjustment occurs with respect to an Underlying 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 Adjustment Factor for such Underlying Stock for the second event, applying the required adjustment to the Adjustment Factor for such Underlying 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 Adjustment Factor for an Underlying Stock unless the adjustment would result in a change to the Adjustment Factor of such Underlying Stock then in effect of at least 0.10%. The Adjustment Factor of such Underlying 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 with respect to an Underlying Stock, 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 with respect to an Underlying Stock, as to the nature of the adjustment required for such Underlying Stock 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. 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 an Underlying 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 Underlying 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 an Underlying Stock Issuer for cash or in connection with the occurrence of a partial tender or exchange offer for an Underlying Stock by the Underlying Stock Issuer of such Underlying Stock or any other person.

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 an Underlying 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 Adjustment Factor for such Underlying Stock to equal the product of the prior Adjustment Factor of such Underlying Stock and the number of shares issued in such stock split or reverse stock split with respect to one share of such Underlying 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 an Underlying Stock is subject to a stock dividend payable in shares of such Underlying Stock that is given ratably to all holders of shares of such Underlying Stock, then once the dividend has become effective the Calculation Agent will adjust the Adjustment Factor for such Underlying Stock on the Ex-Dividend Date to equal the sum of the prior Adjustment Factor for such Underlying Stock and the product of:

The “Ex-Dividend Date” for any dividend or other distribution is the first day on and after which such Underlying Stock trades without the right to receive that dividend or distribution.

No Adjustments for Other Dividends and Distributions

The Adjustment Factor for an Underlying Stock will not be adjusted to reflect dividends, including cash dividends, or other distributions paid with respect to such Underlying Stock, other than:

An “Extraordinary Dividend” means each of (a) the full amount per share of an Underlying Stock of any cash dividend or special dividend or distribution that is identified by the applicable Underlying Stock Issuer 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 applicable Underlying Stock Issuer as an extraordinary or special dividend or distribution) distributed per share of such Underlying Stock over the immediately preceding cash dividend or other cash distribution, if any, per share of such Underlying Stock that did not include an extraordinary or special 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 Underlying 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 such Underlying Stock (excluding Marketable Securities, as defined below).

If an Underlying Stock is subject to an Extraordinary Dividend, then once the Extraordinary Dividend has become effective the Calculation Agent will adjust the Adjustment Factor for such Underlying Stock on the Ex-Dividend Date to equal the product of:

Notwithstanding anything herein, the initiation by an Underlying Stock Issuer of an ordinary dividend on such Underlying Stock or any announced increase in the ordinary dividend on such Underlying 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 an Underlying Stock that is a dividend payable in shares of such Underlying 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 such Underlying 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 an Underlying Stock Issuer issues transferable rights or warrants to all holders of such Underlying Stock to subscribe for or purchase such Underlying Stock at an exercise price per share that is less than the Closing Price of such Underlying Stock on the Trading Day before the Ex-Dividend Date for the issuance, then the Adjustment Factor for such Underlying Stock will be adjusted to equal the product of:

The number of Additional Shares will be equal to:

If the number of shares of such Underlying Stock actually delivered in respect of the rights or warrants differs from the number of shares of such Underlying Stock offered in respect

of the rights or warrants, then the Adjustment Factor for such Underlying Stock will promptly be readjusted to the Adjustment Factor for such Underlying Stock that would have been in effect had the adjustment been made on the basis of the number of shares of such Underlying Stock actually delivered in respect of the rights or warrants.

Reorganization Events

Each of the following is a “Reorganization Event” with respect to an Underlying Stock:

Adjustments for Reorganization Events

If a Reorganization Event occurs with respect to an Underlying Stock, then the Calculation Agent will adjust the Adjustment Factor for such Underlying Stock 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 such Underlying 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:

(“Spin-Off Stock”) or any Marketable Security received in exchange for the applicable Underlying Stock; and

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 Adjustment Factor 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 such Underlying Stock and (ii) the Adjustment Factor for the applicable Underlying Stock on the Trading Day immediately prior to the effective date of the Reorganization Event.

If a holder of shares of the applicable Underlying 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 Underlying Stock that makes no election, as determined by the Calculation Agent in its sole discretion.

If any Reorganization Event occurs with respect to an Underlying Stock, then on and after the effective date for such Reorganization Event (or, if applicable, in the case of Spin-Off Stock, the Ex-Dividend Date for the distribution of such Spin-Off Stock) the term “Underlying Stock” herein will be deemed to mean the following with respect to such Underlying Stock, and for each share of such Underlying Stock, New Stock and/or Replacement Stock so deemed to constitute such Underlying Stock, the Adjustment Factor for such Underlying Stock will be equal to the applicable number indicated:

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 original Underlying 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 original Underlying Stock exceeds the value of the Non-Stock Reorganization Property received per share of such Underlying Stock as determined by the Calculation Agent as of the close of trading on such Trading Day; or

If a Reorganization Event occurs with respect to the shares of an Underlying Stock and the Calculation Agent adjusts the Adjustment Factor of such Underlying 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 Adjustment Factor of such Underlying Stock. The Calculation Agent will do so to the same extent that it would make adjustments if the shares of such Underlying 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 Underlying Stock, the required adjustment will be made with respect to that component as if it alone were the number of shares of such Underlying 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 with respect to an Underlying Stock, the Stock Closing Price of the applicable Underlying Stock on any Calculation Day on or after the effective date of the Replacement Stock Event will be determined by reference to a Replacement Stock and an Adjustment Factor (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 applicable original Underlying 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 applicable original Underlying Stock Issuer; 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 by this Security (equal to the product of (a) (i) $100 divided by (ii) the Starting Price of the applicable Underlying Stock, (b) the Adjustment Factor that would be in effect immediately after selection of such stock as the Replacement Stock and (c) (i) the aggregate face amount outstanding divided by (ii) $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 for an original Underlying Stock, the Adjustment Factor 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 such original Underlying Stock and (b) the Adjustment Factor of such Underlying Stock in effect on the Trading Day immediately prior to the effective date of such Reorganization Event.  If a Replacement Stock is selected in connection with an ADS Termination Event (as defined below), the Adjustment Factor 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 original Underlying Stock on the Change Date and (y) the Adjustment Factor in effect 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 applicable Underlying 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 applicable Underlying 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 original Underlying Stock Issuer.  If no GICS Code has been assigned to such original Underlying 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 original Underlying 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 an Underlying Stock is an American Depositary Share and such Underlying 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 FINRA, or if the American depositary receipt facility between the applicable Underlying Stock Issuer and the depositary is terminated for any reason (each, an “ADS Termination Event”), then, on the last Trading Day on which the applicable Underlying 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.

Calculation Agent

The Calculation Agent will determine whether this Security will be automatically called prior to stated maturity and whether a Contingent Coupon Payment will be made, the Call Price, if any, and the Maturity Payment Amount, if any.  In addition, the Calculation Agent will

(i) determine the Closing Prices of the Underlying Stocks under the circumstances described in this Security, (ii) determine if adjustments are required to the Closing Price or Adjustment Factor of an Underlying Stock under the circumstances described in this Security, (iii) select a Replacement Stock under the circumstances described in this Security and (iv) determine whether a Market Disruption Event has occurred. 

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

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

Redemption and Repayment

The “Final Underlier Level” will be the Closing Level of the Underlier on the Determination Date.

The “Underlier Return” will be the quotient of (i) the Final Underlier Level minus the Initial Underlier Level divided by (ii) the Initial Underlier Level, expressed as a percentage.

The “Cap Level” is 3,482.6505, which is 105% of the Initial Underlier Level.

The “Related Futures or Options Exchange” for the Underlier means an exchange or quotation system where trading has a material effect (as determined by the Calculation Agent) on the overall market for futures or options contracts relating to the Underlier.

The “Relevant Stock Exchange” for any security underlying the Underlier means the primary exchange or quotation system on which such security is traded, as determined by the Calculation Agent.

The “Determination Date” shall be March 16, 2022. If the originally scheduled Determination Date is not a Trading Day, the Determination Date will be postponed to the next succeeding Trading Day.  The Determination Date is also subject to postponement due to the occurrence of a Market Disruption Event (as defined below).  See “–Market Disruption Events.”

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 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 the following events as determined by the Calculation Agent in its sole discretion:

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

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 Scheduled Closing Time of the Relevant Stock Exchange for such security or, if earlier, the actual closing time of the regular trading session of such Relevant Stock Exchange) 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 Scheduled Closing Time of the Relevant Stock Exchange for such security or, if earlier, the actual closing time of the regular trading session of such Relevant Stock Exchange. 

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 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 March 16, 2022.  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.

If the Calculation Day (as defined below) is not postponed, the Initial Stated Maturity Date will be the “Stated Maturity Date.”  If the Calculation Day is postponed, the “Stated Maturity Date” shall be the later of (i) the Initial Stated Maturity Date and (ii) three Business Days (as defined below) after the Calculation Day as postponed.  This Security shall not bear any interest. 

Any payments on this Security at Maturity will be made against presentation of this Security at the office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose in the City of Minneapolis, Minnesota and at any other office or agency maintained by the Company for such purpose. 

“Face Amount“ shall mean, when used with respect to this Security, the amount set forth on the face of this Security as its “Face Amount.”

Determination of Maturity Payment Amount

The “Maturity Payment Amount” of this Security will equal:

All calculations with respect to the Maturity Payment 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 Maturity Payment Amount will be rounded to the nearest cent, with one-half cent rounded upward.

“Index” shall mean the S&P 500^® Index.

The “Pricing Date” shall mean January 22, 2020.

The “Starting Level” is 3320.79, the Closing Level of the Index on January 21, 2020.

The “Closing Level“ of the Index on any Trading Day means the official closing level of the Index reported by the Index 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 and/or rounding convention employed by such licensed third-party market data vendor on such date, subject to the provisions set forth below under “Adjustments to the Index,” “Discontinuance of the Index” and “Market Disruption Events.”

The “Ending Level” will be the Closing Level of the Index on the Calculation Day.

The “Threshold Level” is 2988.711, which is equal to 90% of the Starting Level.

The “Participation Rate” is 150%.

The “Maximum Return” is 9.75% of the Face Amount of this Security.

“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.

A “Trading Day” means a day, as determined by the Calculation Agent, on which (i) the Relevant Stock Exchanges with respect to each security underlying the Index are scheduled to be open for trading for their respective regular trading sessions and (ii) each Related Futures or Options Exchange is scheduled to be open for trading for its regular trading session.

The “Related Futures or Options Exchange” for the Index means an exchange or quotation system where trading has a material effect (as determined by the Calculation Agent) on the overall market for futures or options contracts relating to the Index.

The “Relevant Stock Exchange” for any security underlying the Index means the primary exchange or quotation system on which such security is traded, as determined by the Calculation Agent.

The “Calculation Day“ shall be March 3, 2021.  If such day is not a Trading Day, the Calculation Day will be postponed to the next succeeding Trading Day.  The Calculation Day is also subject to postponement due to the occurrence of a Market Disruption Event (as defined below). If a Market Disruption Event occurs or is continuing with respect to the Index on the Calculation Day, such Calculation Day 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 Calculation Day, that eighth Trading Day shall be deemed to be the Calculation Day.  If the Calculation Day has been postponed eight Trading Days after the originally scheduled Calculation Day and a Market Disruption Event occurs or is continuing on such eighth Trading Day, the Calculation Agent will determine the Closing Level of the Index on such eighth Trading Day in accordance with the formula for and method of calculating the Closing Level of the Index 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 Scheduled Closing Time of the Relevant Stock Exchange for such security or, if earlier, the actual closing time of the regular trading session of such Relevant Stock Exchange) on such date of each security included in the Index.  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 Scheduled Closing Time of the Relevant Stock Exchange for such security or, if earlier, the actual closing time of the regular trading session of such Relevant Stock Exchange.

“Calculation Agent” shall mean the Person that has entered into the Calculation Agent Agreement with the Company providing for, among other things, the determination of the

Ending Level and the Maturity Payment Amount, which term shall, unless the context otherwise requires, include its successors under such Calculation Agent Agreement.  The initial Calculation Agent shall be Wells Fargo Securities, LLC.  Pursuant to the Calculation Agent Agreement, the Company may appoint a different Calculation Agent from time to time after the initial issuance of this Security without the consent of the Holder of this Security and without notifying the Holder of this Security.

Adjustments to the Index

If at any time the method of calculating the Index or a Successor Equity Index, or the closing level thereof, is changed in a material respect, or if the Index or a Successor Equity Index is in any other way modified so that such index does not, in the opinion of the Calculation Agent, fairly represent the level of such index 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 index is to be calculated, make such 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 index comparable to the Index or Successor Equity Index as if those changes or modifications had not been made, and the Calculation Agent will calculate the closing level of the Index or Successor Equity Index with reference to such index, as so adjusted. Accordingly, if the method of calculating the Index or Successor Equity Index is modified so that the level of such index 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 index), then the Calculation Agent will adjust the Index or Successor Equity Index in order to arrive at a level of such index as if it had not been modified (e.g., as if the split or reverse split had not occurred).

Discontinuance of the Index

If the Index Sponsor discontinues publication of the Index, and the Index 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 Index (a “Successor Equity Index”), then, upon the Calculation Agent’s notification of that determination to the Trustee and the Company, the Calculation Agent will substitute the Successor Equity Index as calculated by the Index Sponsor or any other entity and calculate the Ending Level as described above. Upon any selection by the Calculation Agent of a Successor Equity Index, the Company will cause notice to be given to the Holder of this Security.

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

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

Market Disruption Events

A “Market Disruption Event” means any of the following events as determined by the Calculation Agent in its sole discretion:

applicable, at least one hour prior to the earlier of (1) the actual closing time for the regular trading session on such Relevant Stock Exchange or Related Futures or Options Exchange, as applicable, and (2) the submission deadline for orders to be entered into the Relevant Stock Exchange or Related Futures or Options Exchange, as applicable, system for execution at such actual closing time on that day.

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

trading sessions, notwithstanding any such Relevant Stock Exchange or Related Futures or Options Exchange closing prior to its Scheduled Closing Time.

Calculation Agent

The Calculation Agent will determine the Maturity Payment Amount and the Ending Level.  In addition, the Calculation Agent will (i) determine if adjustments are required to the Closing Level of the Index under the circumstances described in this Security, (ii) if publication of the Index is discontinued, select a Successor Equity Index or, if no Successor Equity Index is available, determine the Closing Level of the Index under the circumstances described in this Security, and (iii) determine whether a Market Disruption Event 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 March 5, 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 Maturity Payment 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 Maturity Payment Amount hereof calculated as provided herein as though the date of acceleration was the Calculation Day. 

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.
