due July 8, 2014

WELLS FARGO & COMPANY, a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware (hereinafter called the “Company,” which term includes any successor corporation under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to CEDE & Co., or registered assigns, an amount equal to the Redemption Amount (as defined below), in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts, on the Stated Maturity Date. The “Initial Stated Maturity Date” shall be July 8, 2014. If no Market Disruption Event (as defined below) occurs or is continuing with respect to a Basket Component (as defined below) on the scheduled Calculation Day (as defined below), the Initial Stated Maturity Date will be the “Stated Maturity Date.” If a Market Disruption Event occurs or is continuing with respect to a Basket Component on the scheduled Calculation Day, the “Stated Maturity Date” shall be the later of (i) three Business Days (as defined below) after the postponed Calculation Day with respect to such Basket Component (or, if the Calculation Day is postponed with respect to more than one Basket Component, three Business Days after the latest postponed Calculation Day) and (ii) the Initial Stated Maturity Date. This Security shall not bear any interest.

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

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

Determination of Redemption Amount

The “Redemption Amount” of this Security will equal:

• If the Ending Price is greater than the Starting Price: the lesser of:

(i) the Face Amount plus:

(ii) the Capped Value;

• If the Ending Price is less than or equal to the Starting Price, but greater than or equal to the Threshold Price: the Face Amount; or

• If the Ending Price is less than the Threshold Price: the Face Amount minus:

“Basket” shall mean a basket comprised of the following Basket Components, with the return of each Basket Component having the weighting noted parenthetically: platinum (50%); and palladium (50%).

“Basket Component” shall mean each of platinum and palladium.

The “Pricing Date” shall mean December 23, 2010.

The “Starting Price” is 100.

The “Ending Price” will be calculated based on the weighted returns of the Basket Components and will be equal to the product of (i) 100 and (ii) an amount equal to 1 plus the sum of: (A) 50% of the Component Return of platinum; and (B) 50% of the Component Return of palladium.

The “Component Return” of a Basket Component will be equal to:

Final Component Price – Initial Component Price

Initial Component Price

where,

• the “Initial Component Price” is the Settlement Price of such Basket Component on the Pricing Date; and

2

• the “Final Component Price” will be the Settlement Price of such Basket Component on the Calculation Day.

The Initial Component Prices of the Basket Components are as follows: platinum (1720.00); and palladium (752.00).

The “Settlement Price” of a Basket Component on any day will be:

(i) in the case of platinum, the official afternoon fixing price per troy ounce gross of platinum for delivery in Zurich through a member of the London Platinum and Palladium Market (the “LPPM”) authorized to effect such delivery, expressed in U.S. dollars per troy ounce gross, as calculated and published by the LPPM on that day (the “LPPM platinum price”); and

(ii) in the case of palladium, the official afternoon fixing price per troy ounce gross of palladium for delivery in Zurich through a member of the LPPM authorized to effect such delivery, expressed in U.S. dollars per troy ounce gross, as calculated and published by the LPPM on that day (the “LPPM palladium price”).

The “Capped Value” is 150% of the Face Amount of this Security.

The “Threshold Price” is equal to 85% of the Starting Price.

The “Participation Rate” is 100%.

“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 or Minneapolis, Minnesota.

A “Trading Day” means any day the LPPM is open for trading.

The “Calculation Day” shall be June 30, 2014 or, if such day is not a Trading Day, the next succeeding Trading Day. The Calculation Day is subject to postponement due to the occurrence of a Market Disruption Event. If a Market Disruption Event occurs or is continuing with respect to a Basket Component on the Calculation Day, such Calculation Day for such Basket Component will be postponed to the first succeeding Trading Day on which a Market Disruption Event for such Basket Component has not occurred and is not continuing. If such first succeeding Trading Day has not occurred as of the fifth scheduled Trading Day after the scheduled Calculation Day for such Basket Component, that fifth scheduled Trading Day shall be deemed the Calculation Day. If the Calculation Day has been postponed five scheduled Trading Days after the scheduled Calculation Day for such Basket Component and such fifth scheduled Trading Day is not a Trading Day, or if a Market Disruption Event occurs or is continuing with respect to the Basket Component on such fifth scheduled Trading Day, the Calculation Agent will determine its good faith estimate of the Settlement Price of such Basket Component on such fifth scheduled Trading Day. Notwithstanding a postponement of a Calculation Day for a particular Basket Component due to a Market Disruption Event with

3

respect to such Basket Component, the originally scheduled Calculation Day will remain the Calculation Day for any Basket Component not affected by a Market Disruption Event. See “—Market Disruption Events.”

“Calculation Agent Agreement” shall mean the Calculation Agent Agreement dated as of January 3, 2011 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 Ending Price and the Redemption 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.

Market Disruption Events

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

(i) in the case of platinum: (A) a material limitation or suspension of trading in platinum by the LPPM; or (B) the failure of the LPPM to announce the LPPM platinum price; and

(ii) in the case of palladium: (A) a material limitation or suspension of trading in palladium by the LPPM; or (B) the failure of the LPPM to announce the LPPM palladium price.

For purposes of determining whether a Market Disruption Event has occurred or is continuing with respect to a Basket Component, a limitation on the hours or number of days of trading will not constitute a Market Disruption Event if it results from any announced change in the regular business hours of the LPPM.

Discontinuance of Quotation; Alteration of Manner of Quotation

If the quotation source for a commodity discontinues quoting the Settlement Price for such commodity as provided herein and another entity publishes a quotation that the Calculation Agent determines, in its sole discretion, to be comparable to the discontinued quotation, then any subsequent Settlement Price will be determined by reference to the quotation of such Settlement Price provided by such successor entity (in any such case, referred to herein as a “Successor Quotation Source”) on the date that the Settlement Price is to be determined.

Upon any selection by the Calculation Agent of a Successor Quotation Source, the Company will cause notice to be given to the Holder of this Security.

If the quotation source for a commodity discontinues quoting the Settlement Price for such commodity as provided herein and the Calculation Agent determines that no Successor Quotation

4

Source for such Settlement Price is available at such time, then any subsequent Settlement Price will be determined by reference to the Calculation Agent’s good faith estimate of the Settlement Price for such commodity.

If a Successor Quotation Source is selected or the Calculation Agent calculates a Settlement Price in the absence of a Successor Quotation Source, such Successor Quotation Source or Settlement Price will be used for all purposes with respect to calculation of the Redemption Amount, including for purposes of determining whether a Market Disruption Event exists.

If the method of quoting a Settlement Price as provided herein is changed in a material respect by a quotation source or a Successor Quotation Source, then the Calculation Agent will, on the date that the Settlement Price is to be determined, make such calculations and adjustments as, in the good faith judgment of the Calculation Agent, may be necessary in order to arrive at a Settlement Price for such commodity as if such changes had not been made. The Calculation Agent will calculate the Redemption Amount with reference to the Settlement Price, as adjusted.

Calculation Agent

The Calculation Agent will determine the Redemption Amount and the Ending Price. In addition, the Calculation Agent will (i) determine if adjustments are required to the Settlement Price of a Basket Component under the circumstances described in this Security, (ii) if a quotation source for a commodity discontinues quoting the Settlement Price for such commodity, select a Successor Quotation Source or, if no Successor Quotation Source is available, determine the Settlement Price of such Basket Component, 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. All percentages and other amounts resulting from any calculation with respect to this Security will be rounded at the Calculation Agent’s discretion.

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 pre-paid derivative contract in respect of the Basket.

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 July 8, 2014. This Security is not entitled to any sinking fund.

5

Acceleration

If an Event of Default, as defined in the Indenture, with respect to this Security shall occur and be continuing, the Redemption 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 Redemption Amount hereof calculated as provided herein as though the date of acceleration was the Calculation Day; provided, however, if such date is not a Trading Day or if a Market Disruption Event has occurred or is continuing on that day, the Calculation Day will be postponed as provided herein.

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.

Notes Linked to a Commodity Basket

due July 8, 2014

This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company (herein called the “Securities”), issued and to be issued in one or more series under an indenture dated as of July 21, 1999, as amended or supplemented from time to time (herein called the “Indenture”), between the Company and Citibank, N.A., as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities, and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Security is one of the series of the Securities designated as Medium-Term Notes, Series K, of the Company, which series is limited to an aggregate principal amount or face amount, as applicable, of $25,000,000,000 or the equivalent thereof in one or more foreign or composite currencies. The amount payable on the Securities of this series may be determined by reference to the performance of one or more equity-, commodity- or currency-based indices, exchange traded funds, securities, commodities, currencies, statistical measures of economic or financial performance, or a basket comprised of two or more of the foregoing, or any other market measure or may bear interest at a fixed rate or a floating rate. The Securities of this series may mature at different times, be redeemable at different times or not at all, be repayable at the option of the Holder at different times or not at all and be denominated in different currencies.

Article Sixteen of the Indenture shall not apply to this Security.

The Securities are issuable only in registered form without coupons and will be either (a) book-entry securities represented by one or more Global Securities recorded in the book-entry system maintained by the Depositary or (b) certificated securities issued to and registered in the names of, the beneficial owners or their nominees.

The Company agrees, to the extent permitted by law, not to voluntarily claim the benefits of any laws concerning usurious rates of interest against a Holder of this Security.

Modification and Waivers

The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series to be affected under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the

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

This Security is exchangeable for definitive Securities in registered form only if (x) the Depositary notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for this Security or if at any time the Depositary ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and a successor depositary is not appointed within 90 days after the Company receives such notice or becomes aware of such ineligibility, (y) the Company in its sole discretion determines that this Security shall be exchangeable for definitive Securities in registered form and notifies the Trustee thereof or (z) an Event of Default with respect to the Securities represented hereby has occurred and is continuing.
