San Francisco, California

AMENDMENT OF CONSENT ORDER

WHEREAS, on April 13, 2011, Wells Fargo & Company, San Francisco, California (“WFC”), a registered bank holding company, consented to the issuance of a Consent Order (the “2011 Board Consent Order”), in recognition of the common goals of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “Board of Governors”), the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco (the “Reserve Bank”), and WFC (a) that WFC maintains effective corporate governance and oversight over the consolidated organization, including the establishment and maintenance of robust risk management, compliance, and internal audit programs to ensure that the consolidated organization operates in a safe and sound manner and in compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements (as defined in the 2011 Board Consent Order); and (b) that WFC and its subsidiaries effectively manage their legal, reputational, and compliance risks;

WHEREAS, on April 13, 2011, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., San Francisco, California (the “Bank”), a national bank owned and controlled by WFC, consented to the issuance of a Consent Order by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (the “OCC”) (the “2011 OCC Consent Order”).

WHEREAS, the 2011 Board Consent Order required WFC to serve as a source of strength to the Bank, including, but not limited to, taking steps to ensure that the Bank complies with the 2011 OCC Consent Order;

WHEREAS, Article VII of the 2011 OCC Consent Order required the Bank, among other things, to retain an independent consultant to conduct an independent review of certain residential mortgage loan foreclosure actions or proceedings for loans serviced by the Bank, the purposes of which were set forth in Article VII of the 2011 OCC Consent Order (the “Independent Foreclosure Review”);

WHEREAS, WFC has taken steps to ensure that the Bank complies with its obligations to conduct the Independent Foreclosure Review;

WHEREAS, in the interest of providing the greatest benefit to borrowers potentially affected by the practices at the Bank addressed in the 2011 OCC Consent Order in a more timely manner than would have occurred under the Independent Foreclosure Review, the Board of Governors and the OCC, within their respective jurisdictions, WFC, the Bank, and several other financial institutions with mortgage loan servicing operations have agreed to amend their respective 2011 Consent Orders;

WHEREAS, WFC and the Board of Governors intend WFC’s obligations under the 2011 Board Consent Order to serve as a source of strength to the Bank with respect to the Independent Foreclosure Review to be replaced with the obligations specified in this amendment to the 2011 Board Consent Order (the “Amendment”);

WHEREAS, the board of directors of WFC, at a duly constituted meeting, adopted a resolution authorizing and directing Michael J. Heid to enter into this Amendment to the 2011 Board Consent Order on behalf of WFC, and consenting to compliance by WFC and its

institution-affiliated parties, as defined in sections 3(u) and 8(b)(3) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, as amended (the “FDI Act”) (12 U.S.C. §§ 1813(u) and 1818(b)(3)), with each and every applicable provision of the 2011 Board Consent Order as amended by this Amendment.

NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED pursuant to section 8(b) of the FDI Act (12 U.S.C. § 1818(b)) that the 2011 Board Consent Order is amended as follows:

3. Paragraphs 2 through 11 of the 2011 Board Consent Order are not amended.
