12.2Amendment. The Company may, at any time, amend or modify the Plan in whole or in part by the action of the Board; provided, however, that: # no amendment or modification shall be effective to decrease or restrict the value of a Participant’s vested Account Balance in existence at the time the amendment or modification is made, calculated as if the Participant had experienced a Termination of Employment as of the effective date of the amendment or modification; and # no amendment or modification of this [Section 12.2] shall be effective. The amendment or modification of the Plan shall not affect any Participant or Beneficiary who has become entitled to the payment of benefits under the Plan as of the date of the amendment or modification.

Counterparty acknowledges and agrees that any amendment, modification, waiver or termination of this Master Confirmation or the relevant Supplemental Confirmation must be effected in accordance with the requirements for the amendment or termination of a “plan” as defined in Rule 10b5-1(c). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any such amendment, modification, waiver or termination shall be made in good faith and not as part of a plan or scheme to evade the prohibitions of Rule 10b-5, and no such amendment, modification or waiver shall be made at any time at which Counterparty or any officer, director, manager or similar person of Counterparty is aware of any material non-public information regarding Counterparty or the Shares.

The Compensation Committee or the Board of Directors shall have the power to amend, modify, suspend or terminate any part of the Plan at any time; provided, however, that any such change to the Plan that is beyond the authority of the Compensation Committee delegated by the Board of Directors shall be subject to the approval of the Board of Directors.

Plan Amendment; Termination. The Board may amend, suspend, or terminate the Plan at any time and for any reason. No amendment, suspension, or termination will, without the consent of the Director, materially impair rights or obligations under any Deferred Stock Units previously awarded to the Director under the Plan, except as provided below. The Board may terminate the Plan and distribute the Deferred Compensation Accounts to participants in accordance with and subject to the rules of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(j)(4)(ix), or successor provisions, and any generally applicable guidance issued by the Internal Revenue Service permitting such termination and distribution.

Amendment or Termination. The Board or the Committee shall have the right to amend or cancel this Policy at any time if it determines in its sole discretion that such action would be in the best interests of the Company. Notwithstanding the authority of the Board or the Committee to amend this Policy, Wells Fargo’s Chief Human Resources Officer or the Head of Total Rewards, or such equivalent title, may amend the Policy to incorporate administrative revisions.

Amendment and Termination. The Board may at any time amend, alter, suspend or terminate the Plan.

The Committee may at any time amend, suspend, discontinue or terminate the Plan. All determinations concerning the interpretation and application of this Section 6.1 shall be made by the Committee.

Termination or Amendment. The Board may amend or terminate the Plan in any respect at any time; provided, however, that, after the Plan has been approved by the stockholders of the Company, the Board shall not amend or terminate the Plan without approval of # the Company’s stockholders to the extent stockholder approval of the amendment is required by applicable law or regulations or the requirements of the principal exchange or interdealer quotation system on which the Common Stock is listed or quoted, if any, and # each affected Participant if such amendment or termination would adversely affect such Participant’s rights or obligations under any Award granted prior to the date of such amendment or termination.

It is the intention of the Company that no payment or entitlement pursuant to the Plan will give rise to any adverse tax consequences to an Outside Director under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code and Department of Treasury regulations and other interpretive guidance issued thereunder, including those issued after the date hereof (collectively, “[Section 409A]”). The Plan shall be interpreted to that end and, consistent with that objective and notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the Company may unilaterally take any action it deems necessary or desirable to amend any provision herein to avoid the application of excise tax or other penalties under Section 409A, including any actions to exempt an award from [Section 409A] or comply with the requirements of Section 409A. Further, no effect shall be given to any provision herein in a manner that reasonably could be expected to give rise to adverse tax consequences under Section 409A. Neither the Company nor its current or former employees, officers, directors, representatives or agents shall have any liability to any current or former Outside Director with respect to any accelerated taxation, additional taxes, penalties or interest for which any current or former Outside Director may become liable in the event that any amounts payable under the Plan are determined to violate [Section 409A].

The Plan may be terminated or amended in any respect by resolution adopted by a majority of the Board, unless a Change in Control has previously occurred. If a Change in Control occurs, the Plan shall not be subject to amendment, change, substitution, deletion, revocation or termination in any respect which adversely affects the rights of Eligible Employees.
