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 February 6, 2030.  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 Closing Level (as defined below) of the Lowest Performing Index (as defined below) on any of the quarterly Calculation Days (as defined below) from February 2021 to November 2029, inclusive, is greater than or equal to its Starting Level (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 both Indices, 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 Closing Level of the Lowest Performing Index on the related Calculation Day is greater than or equal to its Coupon Threshold Level (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 both Indices, the related Contingent Coupon Payment Date will be three Business Days after the last Calculation Day as postponed.  The “Contingent Coupon Rate” is 7.05% 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.

“Index” shall mean each of the Russell 2000 Index and the EURO STOXX 50 Index.

The “Pricing Date” shall mean January 28, 2020.

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

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

The “Starting Level” with respect to the Russell 2000 Index is 1658.314, its Closing Level on the Pricing Date, and with respect to the EURO STOXX 50 Index is 3719.22, its Closing Level on the Pricing Date.

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

The “Coupon Threshold Level” with respect to the Russell 2000 Index is 1243.7355, which is equal to 75% of its Starting Level, and with respect to the EURO STOXX 50 Index is 2789.415, which is equal to 75% of its Starting Level.

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 (i) with respect to the Russell 2000 Index, 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 or (ii) with respect to the EURO STOXX 50 Index, the time at which the official Closing Level of such Index is calculated and published by the relevant Index Sponsor) on such date of each security included in such 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 (i) with respect to the Russell 2000 Index, 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 or (ii) with respect to the EURO STOXX 50 Index, the time at which the official Closing Level of such Index is calculated and published by the relevant Index Sponsor.  Notwithstanding the postponement of a Calculation Day for one Index due to a Market Disruption Event with respect to such Index on such Calculation Day, the originally scheduled Calculation Day will remain the Calculation Day for the other Index if such other Index is 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 the Russell 2000 Index means a day, as determined by the Calculation Agent, on which (i) the Relevant Stock Exchanges with respect to each security underlying the Russell 2000 Index are scheduled to be open for trading for their respective regular trading sessions and (ii) each Related Futures or Options Exchange with respect to the Russell 2000 Index is scheduled to be open for trading for its regular trading session.

A “Trading Day” with respect to the EURO STOXX 50 Index means a day, as determined by the Calculation Agent, on which (i) the relevant Index Sponsor is scheduled to publish the level of the EURO STOXX 50 Index and (ii) each Related Futures or Options Exchange with respect to the EURO STOXX 50 Index is scheduled to be open for trading for its regular trading session.

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

The “Related Futures or Options Exchange” for an 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 such Index.

Adjustments to an Index

If at any time the method of calculating an Index or a Successor Equity Index, or the closing level thereof, is changed in a material respect, or if an 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 such 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 such Index or Successor Equity Index with reference to such index, as so adjusted. Accordingly, if the method of calculating an 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 such 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 an Index

If an Index Sponsor discontinues publication of an Index, and such 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 such 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 relevant Index Sponsor or any other entity for purposes of calculating the Closing Level of such Index on any date of determination. 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 an Index Sponsor discontinues publication of an Index prior to, and the discontinuance is continuing on, a 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 such Index in accordance with the formula for and method of calculating such Index last in effect prior to the discontinuance, but using only those securities that comprised such Index immediately prior to that discontinuance.  If a Successor Equity Index is selected or the Calculation Agent calculates a level as a substitute for such Index, the Successor Equity Index or level will be used as a substitute for such Index for all purposes, including the purpose of determining whether a Market Disruption Event exists.

If on a Calculation Day an Index Sponsor fails to calculate and announce the level of an Index, the Calculation Agent will calculate a substitute Closing Level of such Index in accordance with the formula for and method of calculating such Index last in effect prior to the failure, but using only those securities that comprised such Index immediately prior to that failure; provided

that, if a Market Disruption Event occurs or is continuing on such day with respect to such Index, then the provisions set forth above under the definition of “Calculation Days” shall apply in lieu of the foregoing.

Market Disruption Events

A “Market Disruption Event” with respect to the Russell 2000 Index means any of the following events as determined by the Calculation Agent in its sole discretion:

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 with respect to the Russell 2000 Index:

A “Market Disruption Event” with respect to the EURO STOXX 50 Index means any of (A), (B), (C) or (D) below, as determined by the Calculation Agent in its sole discretion:

announced by such Related 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 and (ii) the submission deadline for orders to be entered into the Related Futures or Options Exchange system for execution at the close of trading for such Related Futures or Options Exchange on that day.

For purposes of determining whether a Market Disruption Event has occurred with respect to the EURO STOXX 50 Index:

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 if adjustments are required to the Closing Level of an Index under the circumstances described in this Security, (ii) if publication of an Index is discontinued, select a Successor Equity Index or, if no Successor Equity Index is available, determine the Closing Level of such Index under the circumstances described in this Security, and (iii) determine whether a Market Disruption Event has occurred. 

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

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

Redemption and Repayment

This Security is not subject to repayment at the option of the Holder hereof prior to February 6, 2030.  Except as set forth above under “Automatic Call,” this Security is not subject to redemption prior to February 6, 2030.  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 two sentences) 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, plus a portion of a final Contingent Coupon Payment, if any.  The Maturity Payment Amount and any final Contingent Coupon Payment will be calculated as though the date of acceleration were the Final Calculation Day.  The final Contingent Coupon Payment, if any, will be prorated from and including the immediately preceding Contingent Coupon Payment Date to but excluding the date of acceleration.

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.

On each quarterly Contingent Coupon Payment Date, the Company shall pay a Contingent Coupon Payment if, and only if, the Closing Level (as defined below) of the Lowest Performing Index (as defined below) on the related Calculation Day is greater than or equal to its Coupon Threshold Level (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 Applicable 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 Indices, the related Contingent Coupon Payment Date will be three Business Days after the last Calculation Day as postponed. 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. The “Applicable Contingent Coupon Rate” that will apply with respect to any Calculation Day is as follows:

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 Optional Redemption 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 Optional Redemption 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.

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 each of the S&P 500 Index, the Russell 2000 Index and the EURO STOXX 50 Index.

The “Pricing Date” shall mean January 28, 2020.

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

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

The “Starting Level” with respect to the S&P 500 Index is 3276.24, its Closing Level on the Pricing Date, with respect to the Russell 2000 Index is 1658.314, its Closing Level on the Pricing Date, and with respect to the EURO STOXX 50 Index is 3719.22, its Closing Level on the Pricing Date.

Certain Definitions

A “Trading Day” with respect to the S&P 500 Index or the Russell 2000 Index means a day, as determined by the Calculation Agent, on which (i) the Relevant Stock Exchanges with respect to each security underlying such Index are scheduled to be open for trading for their respective regular trading sessions and (ii) each Related Futures or Options Exchange with respect to such Index is scheduled to be open for trading for its regular trading session.

A “Trading Day” with respect to the EURO STOXX 50 Index means a day, as determined by the Calculation Agent, on which (i) the relevant Index Sponsor is scheduled to publish the level of the EURO STOXX 50 Index and (ii) each Related Futures or Options Exchange with respect to the EURO STOXX 50 Index is scheduled to be open for trading for its regular trading session.

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

The “Related Futures or Options Exchange” for an 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 such Index.

Adjustments to an Index

If at any time the method of calculating an Index or a Successor Equity Index, or the closing level thereof, is changed in a material respect, or if an 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 such 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 such Index or Successor Equity Index with reference to such index, as so adjusted. Accordingly, if the method of calculating an 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 such

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 an Index

If an Index Sponsor discontinues publication of an Index, and such 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 such 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 relevant Index Sponsor or any other entity for purposes of calculating the Closing Level of such Index on any date of determination. 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 an Index Sponsor discontinues publication of an Index prior to, and the discontinuance is continuing on, a 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 such Index in accordance with the formula for and method of calculating such Index last in effect prior to the discontinuance, but using only those securities that comprised such Index immediately prior to that discontinuance.  If a Successor Equity Index is selected or the Calculation Agent calculates a level as a substitute for such Index, the Successor Equity Index or level will be used as a substitute for such Index for all purposes, including the purpose of determining whether a Market Disruption Event exists.

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

Market Disruption Events

A “Market Disruption Event” with respect to the S&P 500 Index or the Russell 2000 Index 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 with respect to the S&P 500 Index or the Russell 2000 Index:

A “Market Disruption Event” with respect to the EURO STOXX 50 Index means any of (A), (B), (C) or (D) below, as determined by the Calculation Agent in its sole discretion:

For purposes of determining whether a Market Disruption Event has occurred with respect to the EURO STOXX 50 Index:

Calculation Agent

The Calculation Agent will determine whether a Contingent Coupon Payment will be made, the Optional Redemption Price, if any, and the Maturity Payment Amount, if any.  In addition, the Calculation Agent will (i) determine if adjustments are required to the Closing Level of an Index under the circumstances described in this Security, (ii) if publication of an Index is discontinued, select a Successor Equity Index or, if no Successor Equity Index is available, determine the Closing Level of such Index under the circumstances described in this Security, and (iii) determine whether a Market Disruption Event has occurred. 

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

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

Redemption and Repayment

This Security is not subject to repayment at the option of the Holder hereof prior to January 31, 2030.  This Security is subject to redemption prior to January 31, 2030 as set forth under “Optional Redemption” above.  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 two sentences) 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, plus a portion of a final Contingent Coupon Payment, if any.  The Maturity Payment Amount and any final Contingent Coupon Payment will be calculated as though the date of acceleration were the Final Calculation Day.  The final Contingent Coupon Payment, if any, will be prorated from and including the immediately preceding Contingent Coupon Payment Date to but excluding the date of acceleration.

The “Calculation Day“ shall be January 28, 2025.  If such day is not a Trading Day with respect to either Index, the Calculation Day for each Index will be postponed to the next succeeding day that is a Trading Day with respect to each Index.  The Calculation Day for an Index is also subject to postponement due to the occurrence of a Market Disruption Event (as defined below) with respect to such Index.  If a Market Disruption Event occurs or is continuing with respect to an Index on the Calculation Day, then the Calculation Day for such Index will be postponed to the first succeeding Trading Day for such Index on which a Market Disruption Event for such Index 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 Index after the originally scheduled Calculation Day, that eighth Trading Day shall be deemed to be the Calculation Day for such Index.  If the Calculation Day has been postponed eight Trading Days for an Index after the originally scheduled Calculation Day and a Market Disruption Event occurs or is continuing with respect to such Index on such eighth Trading Day, the Calculation Agent will determine the Closing Level of such Index on such eighth Trading Day in accordance with the formula for and method of calculating the Closing Level of such 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 such 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.  Notwithstanding the postponement of the Calculation Day for one Index due to a Market Disruption Event with respect to such Index on the Calculation Day, the originally scheduled

Calculation Day will remain the Calculation Day for the other Index if such other Index is 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 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.

Certain Definitions

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

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

The “Related Futures or Options Exchange” for an 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 such Index.

Adjustments To An Index

If at any time the method of calculating an Index or a Successor Equity Index, or the closing level thereof, is changed in a material respect, or if an 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 such 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 such Index or Successor Equity Index with reference to such index, as so adjusted. Accordingly, if the method of calculating an 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 such 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 An Index

If an Index Sponsor discontinues publication of an Index, and such 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 such 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 relevant Index Sponsor or any other entity and calculate the Ending Level of such Index 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 an Index Sponsor discontinues publication of an 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 such Index in accordance with the formula for and method of calculating such Index last in effect prior to the discontinuance, but using only those securities that comprised such Index immediately prior to that discontinuance.  If a Successor Equity Index is selected or the Calculation Agent calculates a level as a substitute for such Index, the Successor Equity Index or level will be used as a substitute for such Index for all purposes, including the purpose of determining whether a Market Disruption Event exists.

If on the Calculation Day an Index Sponsor fails to calculate and announce the level of an Index, the Calculation Agent will calculate a substitute Closing Level of such Index in accordance with the formula for and method of calculating such Index last in effect prior to the failure, but using only those securities that comprised such Index immediately prior to that failure; provided that, if a Market Disruption Event occurs or is continuing on such day with respect to such Index, 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” with respect to an Index means any of the following events as determined by the Calculation Agent in its sole discretion:

exceeding limits permitted by the Related Futures or Options Exchange or otherwise.

For purposes of determining whether a Market Disruption Event has occurred with respect to an Index:

Relevant Stock Exchange is earlier than its Scheduled Closing Time on such Trading Day, then (x) for purposes of clauses (A) and (C) of the definition of “Market Disruption Event” above, with respect to any security underlying such Index or Successor Equity Index for which such Relevant Stock Exchange is its Relevant Stock Exchange, the “Close of Trading” means such actual closing time and (y) for purposes of clauses (B) and (D) of the definition of “Market Disruption Event” above, with respect to any futures or options contract relating to such Index or Successor Equity Index, the “Close of Trading” means the latest actual closing time of the regular trading session of any of the Relevant Stock Exchanges, but in no event later than the Scheduled Closing Time of the Relevant Stock Exchanges;

Calculation Agent

The Calculation Agent will determine the Maturity Payment Amount.  In addition, the Calculation Agent will (i) determine if adjustments are required to the Closing Level of an Index under the circumstances described in this Security, (ii) if publication of an Index is discontinued, select a Successor Equity Index or, if no Successor Equity Index is available, determine the Closing Level of such 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 January 31, 2025.  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.

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

If the Final Valuation Date has been postponed eight Trading Days after the originally scheduled Final Valuation 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 Underlying on such eighth Trading Day in accordance with the formula for and method of calculating the Closing Level of the Underlying 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 Underlying.

Adjustments to the Underlying

If at any time the method of calculating the Underlying or a Successor Underlying, or the closing level thereof, is changed in a material respect, or if the Underlying or a Successor Underlying 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 Underlying or Successor Underlying as if those changes or modifications had not been made, and the Calculation Agent will calculate the closing level of the Underlying or Successor Underlying with reference to such index, as so adjusted. Accordingly, if the method of calculating the Underlying or Successor Underlying 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 Underlying or Successor Underlying 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 Underlying

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

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

Underlying in accordance with the formula for and method of calculating the Underlying last in effect prior to the failure, but using only those securities that comprised the Underlying 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 “Final Valuation Date” 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:

Calculation Agent

The Calculation Agent will determine the Payment at Maturity and the Final Underlying Level of the Underlying under the circumstances described in this Security.  In addition, the Calculation Agent will (i) determine if adjustments are required to the Closing Level of the Underlying under the circumstances described in this Security, (ii) if publication of the Underlying is discontinued, select a Successor Underlying or, if no Successor Underlying is available, determine the Closing Level of the Underlying 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 31, 2023.  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 Payment at Maturity (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 Payment at Maturity hereof calculated as provided herein as though the date of acceleration was the Final Valuation 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.

Fully and Unconditionally Guaranteed by Wells Fargo & Company

Principal at Risk Securities Linked to the EURO STOXX 50^® Index
due January 31, 2023

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 Payment at Maturity (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 Maturity Date. The “Maturity Date” shall be January 31, 2023. If the Final Valuation Date (as defined below) is postponed, the “Maturity Date” shall be the later of (i) the originally scheduled Maturity Date and (ii) three Business Days (as defined below) after the Final Valuation Date 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.

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

Determination of Payment at Maturity

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

(Principal Amount x the lesser of (a) Underlying Return x Upside Gearing and (b) the Maximum Gain).

            (Principal Amount x Underlying Return).

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

“Underlying” shall mean the EURO STOXX 50^® Index.

The “Trade Date” shall mean January 29, 2020.

The “Initial Underlying Level” is 3,736.36, the Closing Level of the Underlying on the Trade Date.

The “Closing Level“ of the Underlying on any Trading Day means the official closing level of the Underlying reported by the Underlying Sponsor (as defined below) 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 Underlying,” “Discontinuance of the Underlying” and “Market Disruption Events.”

The “Final Underlying Level” will be the Closing Level of the Underlying on the Final Valuation Date.

The “Downside Threshold” is 2,802.27, which is equal to 75% of the Starting Level.

The “Upside Gearing” is 5.0.

The “Maximum Gain” is 40.5% of the Principal 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 Underlying Sponsor is scheduled to publish the level of the Underlying 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 Underlying 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 Underlying.

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

The “Final Valuation Date“ shall be January 26, 2023. If the originally scheduled Final Valuation Date is not a Trading Day, the Final Valuation Date will be postponed to the next succeeding Trading Day. If a Market Disruption Event occurs or is continuing on the Final Valuation Date, then the Final Valuation 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 Final Valuation Date, that eighth Trading Day shall be deemed to be the Final Valuation Date. If the Final Valuation Date has been postponed eight Trading Days after the originally scheduled Final Valuation 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 Underlying on such eighth Trading Day in accordance with the formula for and method of calculating the Closing Level of the Underlying 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 Underlying is calculated and published by the relevant Underlying Sponsor) on such date of each security included in the Underlying. 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 Underlying is calculated and published by the Underlying Sponsor.

“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 the Final Underlying Level of the Underlying and the Payment at Maturity, 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 Underlying

If at any time the method of calculating the Underlying or a Successor Underlying, or the closing level thereof, is changed in a material respect, or if the Underlying or a Successor Underlying 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 Underlying or Successor Underlying as if those changes or modifications had not been made, and the Calculation Agent will calculate the closing level of the Underlying or Successor Underlying with reference to such index, as so adjusted. Accordingly, if the method of calculating the Underlying or Successor Underlying 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 Underlying or Successor Underlying 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 Underlying

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

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

If on the Final Valuation Date the Underlying Sponsor fails to calculate and announce the level of the Underlying, the Calculation Agent will calculate a substitute Closing Level of the Underlying in accordance with the formula for and method of calculating the Underlying last in

effect prior to the failure, but using only those securities that comprised the Underlying 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 “Final Valuation Date” 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:

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

Calculation Agent

            The Calculation Agent will determine the Payment at Maturity and the Final Underlying Level of the Underlying under the circumstances described in this Security. In addition, the Calculation Agent will (i) determine if adjustments are required to the Closing Level of the Underlying under the circumstances described in this Security, (ii) if publication of the Underlying is discontinued, select a Successor Underlying or, if no Successor Underlying is available, determine the Closing Level of the Underlying 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 31, 2023. 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 Payment at Maturity (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 Payment at Maturity hereof calculated as provided herein as though the date of acceleration was the Final Valuation 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.

MEDIUM-TERM NOTE, SERIES A

Fully and Unconditionally Guaranteed by Wells Fargo & Company

Principal at Risk Securities Linked to the Lowest Performing of
the Russell 2000^® Index and the EURO STOXX 50^® Index due February 6, 2030

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 February 6, 2030. 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 Closing Level (as defined below) of the Lowest Performing Index (as defined below) on any of the quarterly Calculation Days (as defined below) from February 2021 to November 2029, inclusive, is greater than or equal to its Starting Level (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 both Indices, 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 Closing Level of the Lowest Performing Index on the related Calculation Day is greater than or equal to its Coupon Threshold Level (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 both Indices, the related Contingent Coupon Payment Date will be three Business Days after the last Calculation Day as postponed. The “Contingent Coupon Rate” is 7.60% 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.

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.

“Index” shall mean each of the Russell 2000 Index and the EURO STOXX 50 Index.

The “Pricing Date” shall mean January 28, 2020.

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

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

The “Starting Level” with respect to the Russell 2000 Index is 1658.314, its Closing Level on the Pricing Date, and with respect to the EURO STOXX 50 Index is 3719.22, its Closing Level on the Pricing Date.

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

The “Coupon Threshold Level” with respect to the Russell 2000 Index is 1243.7355, which is equal to 75% of its Starting Level, and with respect to the EURO STOXX 50 Index is 2789.415, which is equal to 75% of its Starting Level.

If any such day is not a Trading Day with respect to either Index, such Calculation Day for each Index will be postponed to the next succeeding day that is a Trading Day with respect to each Index. A Calculation Day for an Index is also subject to postponement due to the occurrence of a Market Disruption Event (as defined below) with respect to such Index on such Calculation Day. The “Final Calculation Day” is February 1, 2030. If a Market Disruption Event occurs or is continuing with respect to an Index on any Calculation Day, then such Calculation Day for such Index will be postponed to the first succeeding Trading Day for such Index on which a Market Disruption Event for such Index 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 Index after the originally scheduled Calculation Day, that eighth Trading Day shall be deemed to be the Calculation Day for such Index. If a Calculation Day has been postponed eight Trading Days for an Index after the originally scheduled Calculation Day and a Market Disruption Event occurs or is continuing with respect to such Index on such eighth Trading Day, the Calculation Agent will determine the Closing Level of such Index on such eighth Trading Day in accordance with the formula for and method of calculating the Closing Level of such 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 (i) with respect to the Russell 2000 Index, 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 or (ii) with respect to the EURO STOXX 50 Index, the time at which the official Closing Level of such Index is calculated and published by the relevant Index Sponsor) on such date of each security included in such 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 (i) with respect to the Russell 2000 Index, 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 or (ii) with respect to the EURO STOXX 50 Index, the time at which the official Closing Level of such Index is calculated and published by the relevant Index Sponsor. Notwithstanding the postponement of a Calculation Day for one Index due to a Market Disruption Event with respect to such Index on such Calculation Day, the originally scheduled Calculation Day will remain the Calculation Day for the other Index if such other Index is not affected by a Market Disruption Event on such day.

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 the Russell 2000 Index means a day, as determined by the Calculation Agent, on which (i) the Relevant Stock Exchanges with respect to each security underlying the Russell 2000 Index are scheduled to be open for trading for their respective regular trading sessions and (ii) each Related Futures or Options Exchange with respect to the Russell 2000 Index is scheduled to be open for trading for its regular trading session.

A “Trading Day” with respect to the EURO STOXX 50 Index means a day, as determined by the Calculation Agent, on which (i) the relevant Index Sponsor is scheduled to publish the level of the EURO STOXX 50 Index and (ii) each Related Futures or Options Exchange with respect to the EURO STOXX 50 Index is scheduled to be open for trading for its regular trading session.

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

The “Related Futures or Options Exchange” for an 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 such Index.

Adjustments to an Index

If at any time the method of calculating an Index or a Successor Equity Index, or the closing level thereof, is changed in a material respect, or if an 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 such 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 such Index or Successor Equity Index with reference to such index, as so adjusted. Accordingly, if the method of calculating an 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 such 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 an Index

If an Index Sponsor discontinues publication of an Index, and such 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 such 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 relevant Index Sponsor or any other entity for purposes of calculating the Closing Level of such Index on any date of determination. 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 an Index Sponsor discontinues publication of an Index prior to, and the discontinuance is continuing on, a 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 such Index in accordance with the formula for and method of calculating such Index last in effect prior to the discontinuance, but using only those securities that comprised such Index immediately prior to that discontinuance. If a Successor Equity Index is selected or the Calculation Agent calculates a level as a substitute for such Index, the Successor Equity Index or level will be used as a substitute for such Index for all purposes, including the purpose of determining whether a Market Disruption Event exists.

If on a Calculation Day an Index Sponsor fails to calculate and announce the level of an Index, the Calculation Agent will calculate a substitute Closing Level of such Index in accordance with the formula for and method of calculating such Index last in effect prior to the failure, but using only those securities that comprised such Index immediately prior to that failure; provided

that, if a Market Disruption Event occurs or is continuing on such day with respect to such Index, then the provisions set forth above under the definition of “Calculation Days” shall apply in lieu of the foregoing.

Market Disruption Events

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 if adjustments are required to the Closing Level of an Index under the circumstances described in this Security, (ii) if publication of an Index is discontinued, select a Successor Equity Index or, if no Successor Equity Index is available, determine the Closing Level of such Index under the circumstances described in this Security, and (iii) determine whether a Market Disruption Event has occurred.

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

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

Redemption and Repayment

This Security is not subject to repayment at the option of the Holder hereof prior to February 6, 2030. Except as set forth above under “Automatic Call,” this Security is not subject to redemption prior to February 6, 2030. 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 two sentences) 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, plus a portion of a final Contingent Coupon Payment, if any.

The final Contingent Coupon Payment, if any, will be prorated from and including the immediately preceding Contingent Coupon Payment Date to but excluding the date of acceleration.

In contrast, a “suspension, absence or material limitation of trading” in the applicable market for such Basket Component or option or futures contracts relating to such Basket Component, as applicable, by reason of any of:

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

Adjustment Events

The Adjustment Factor for each Basket Component is initially 1.0. However, the Adjustment Factor for each Basket Component 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 a Basket Component and the Calculation Agent determines that the event has a dilutive or concentrative effect on the market price of such Basket Component, the Calculation Agent will calculate a corresponding adjustment to the Adjustment Factor for such Basket Component 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 Basket Component 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 Basket Component outstanding immediately after the stock split and whose denominator is the number of shares of such Basket Component outstanding immediately prior to the stock split. Consequently, the Adjustment Factor for such Basket Component will be adjusted to double the prior Adjustment Factor, due to the corresponding decrease in the market price of such Basket Component.  Adjustments to the Adjustment Factor for a Basket Component 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 Calculation Day for such Basket Component (the “Adjustment Period”).

The Calculation Agent will also determine the effective date of that adjustment, and the replacement of a Basket Component, if applicable, in the event of a consolidation or merger or certain other events in respect of the applicable Basket Component 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 Basket Component. The Calculation Agent will not be required to make any adjustments to the Adjustment Factor for purposes of calculating the Stock Closing Price for the Calculation Day after the close of business on the Calculation Day. In no event, however, will an antidilution adjustment to the Adjustment

Factor of a Basket Component 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 a Basket Component, 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 Basket Component for the second event, applying the required adjustment to the Adjustment Factor for such Basket Component 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 a Basket Component unless the adjustment would result in a change to the Adjustment Factor of such Basket Component then in effect of at least 0.10%. The Adjustment Factor of such Basket Component 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 a Basket Component, 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 a Basket Component, as to the nature of the adjustment required for such Basket Component 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 a Basket Component Issuer organized outside the United States, such amount or value will be converted to U.S. dollars, as applicable, and will be reduced by any applicable foreign withholding taxes that would apply to such distribution if such distribution were paid to a U.S. person that is eligible for the benefits of an applicable income tax treaty, if any, between the United States and the jurisdiction of organization of such Basket Component 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 a Basket Component Issuer for cash or in connection with the occurrence of a partial tender or exchange offer for a Basket Component by the Basket Component Issuer of such Basket Component 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 a Basket Component 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 Basket Component to equal the product of the prior Adjustment Factor of such Basket Component and the number of shares issued in such stock split or reverse stock split with respect to one share of such Basket Component.

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 a Basket Component is subject to a stock dividend payable in shares of such Basket Component that is given ratably to all holders of shares of such Basket Component, then once the dividend has become effective the Calculation Agent will adjust the Adjustment Factor for such Basket Component on the Ex-Dividend Date to equal the sum of the prior Adjustment Factor for such Basket Component and the product of:

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

No Adjustments for Other Dividends and Distributions

The Adjustment Factor for a Basket Component will not be adjusted to reflect dividends, including cash dividends, or other distributions paid with respect to such Basket Component, other than:

An “Extraordinary Dividend” means each of (a) the full amount per share of a Basket Component of any cash dividend or special dividend or distribution that is identified by the applicable Basket Component 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 Basket Component Issuer as an extraordinary or special dividend or distribution) distributed per share of such Basket Component over the immediately preceding cash dividend or other cash distribution, if any, per share of such Basket Component 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 Basket Component 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 Basket Component (excluding Marketable Securities, as defined below).

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

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

To the extent an Extraordinary Dividend is not paid in cash or is paid in a currency other than U.S. dollars, the value of the non-cash component or non-U.S. currency will be determined by the Calculation Agent, in its sole discretion. A distribution on a Basket Component that is a dividend payable in shares of such Basket Component, 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 Basket Component 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 a Basket Component Issuer issues transferable rights or warrants to all holders of such Basket Component to subscribe for or purchase such Basket Component at an exercise price per share that is less than the Closing Price of such Basket Component on the Trading Day before the

Ex-Dividend Date for the issuance, then the Adjustment Factor for such Basket Component will be adjusted to equal the product of:

The number of Additional Shares will be equal to:

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

Reorganization Events

Each of the following is a “Reorganization Event” with respect to a Basket Component:

Adjustments for Reorganization Events

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