Calculation Agent:
The Calculation Agent for the notes has not been appointed, but we will appoint a Calculation
Agent prior to the commencement of the Floating Rate Period. An affiliate of ours may be
appointed the Calculation Agent. References to "our designee" in the sections entitled "Effect
of Benchmark Transition Event" and "Risk Factors" shall mean the Calculation Agent
appointed by us.

Effect of Benchmark Transition Event
Upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date, the following terms will apply
to the notes solely in respect of determinations, decisions, elections, calculations and adjustments to be made in respect of the
Floating Rate Period.

Benchmark Replacement
If we or our designee determine that a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have
occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any determination of the Benchmark on any date, the Benchmark Replacement
will replace the then-current Benchmark for all purposes relating to the notes in respect of such determination on such date and all
determinations on all subsequent dates.
Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes
In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, we or our designee will have the right to make
Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time.
Decisions and Determinations
Any determination, decision, election or calculation that may be made by us or our designee pursuant to this section
entitled "Effect of Benchmark Transition Event," including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the
occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any
selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error, may be made in our or our designee's sole discretion, and,
notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein relating to the notes, shall become effective without consent from any other party.
For the avoidance of doubt, after a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have
occurred, interest payable on the notes for the Floating Rate Period will be an annual rate equal to the sum of the applicable
Benchmark Replacement and the spread set forth under the section entitled "Floating Rate Terms" above.
Definitions
As used in this section entitled "Effect of Benchmark Transition Event":
"Benchmark" means, initially, three-month LIBOR; provided that if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related
Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred with respect to three-month LIBOR or the then-current Benchmark, then "Benchmark"
means the applicable Benchmark Replacement.
"Benchmark Replacement" means the Interpolated Benchmark with respect to the then-current Benchmark, plus the
Benchmark Replacement Adjustment for such Benchmark; provided that if we or our designee cannot determine the Interpolated
Benchmark as of the Benchmark Replacement Date, then "Benchmark Replacement" means the first alternative set forth in the order
below that can be determined by us or our designee as of the Benchmark Replacement Date:

(1)
the sum of: (a) Term SOFR and (b) the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment;

(2)
the sum of: (a) Compounded SOFR and (b) the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment;

(3)
the sum of: (a) the alternate rate of interest that has been selected or recommended by the Relevant Governmental Body as

the replacement for the then-current Benchmark for the applicable Corresponding Tenor and (b) the Benchmark
Replacement Adjustment;

(4)
the sum of: (a) the ISDA Fallback Rate and (b) the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment;

(5)
the sum of: (a) an alternate rate of interest that has been selected by us or our designee as the replacement for the then-

current Benchmark for the applicable Corresponding Tenor that gives due consideration to any industry-accepted rate of
https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/72971/000119312520024436/d881197d424b2.htm[2/5/2020 10:51:55 AM]

DEFINITIVE PRICING SUPPLEMENT NO. 8
interest as a replacement for the then-current

4

Benchmark for U.S. dollar denominated floating rate notes at such time and (b) the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment.
"Benchmark Replacement Adjustment" means the first alternative set forth in the order below that can be determined by
us or our designee as of the Benchmark Replacement Date:

(1)
the spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, (which may be a positive or

negative value or zero) that has been selected or recommended by the Relevant Governmental Body for the applicable
Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement;

(2)
if the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement is equivalent to the ISDA Fallback Rate, then the ISDA Fallback

Adjustment;

(3)
the spread adjustment (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) that has been selected by us or our designee
giving due consideration to any industry-accepted spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread

adjustment, for the replacement of the then-current Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement
for U.S. dollar denominated floating rate notes at such time.
"Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes" means, with respect to any Benchmark Replacement, any technical,
administrative or operational changes (including changes to the definitions of interest reset period and interest reset date, timing and
frequency of determining rates and making payments of interest, rounding of amounts or tenors, changes to the definition of
"Corresponding Tenor" solely when such tenor is longer than the interest reset period and other administrative matters) that we or
our designee decide may be appropriate to reflect the adoption of such Benchmark Replacement in a manner substantially consistent
with market practice (or, if we or our designee decide that adoption of any portion of such market practice is not administratively
feasible or if we or our designee determine that no market practice for use of the Benchmark Replacement exists, in such other
manner as we or our designee determine is reasonably necessary).
"Benchmark Replacement Date" means the earliest to occur of the following events with respect to the then-current
Benchmark:

(1)
in the case of clause (1) or (2) of the definition of "Benchmark Transition Event," the later of (a) the date of the public

statement or publication of information referenced therein and (b) the date on which the administrator of the Benchmark
permanently or indefinitely ceases to provide the Benchmark; or

(2)
in the case of clause (3) of the definition of "Benchmark Transition Event," the date of the public statement or publication

of information referenced therein.
For the avoidance of doubt, if the event giving rise to the Benchmark Replacement Date occurs on the same day as, but earlier than,
the Reference Time in respect of any determination, the Benchmark Replacement Date will be deemed to have occurred prior to the
Reference Time for such determination.
"Benchmark Transition Event" means the occurrence of one or more of the following events with respect to the then-
current Benchmark:

(1)
a public statement or publication of information by or on behalf of the administrator of the Benchmark announcing that

such administrator has ceased or will cease to provide the Benchmark, permanently or indefinitely, provided that, at the
time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide the Benchmark;

5
(2)
a public statement or publication of information by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of the Benchmark, the
central bank for the currency of the Benchmark, an insolvency official with jurisdiction over the administrator for the
Benchmark, a resolution authority with jurisdiction over the administrator for the Benchmark or a court or an entity with

similar insolvency or resolution authority over the administrator for the Benchmark, which states that the administrator of
the Benchmark has ceased or will cease to provide the Benchmark permanently or indefinitely, provided that, at the time
of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide the Benchmark; or

(3)
a public statement or publication of information by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of the Benchmark

announcing that the Benchmark is no longer representative.

DEFINITIVE PRICING SUPPLEMENT NO. 8
"Compounded SOFR" means the compounded average of SOFRs for the applicable Corresponding Tenor, with the rate,
or methodology for this rate, and conventions for this rate (which will be compounded in arrears with a lookback and/or suspension
period as a mechanism to determine the interest amount payable prior to each interest payment date) being established by us or our
designee in accordance with:

(1)
the rate, or methodology for this rate and conventions for this rate selected or recommended by the Relevant

Governmental Body for determining compounded SOFR; provided that:

(2)
if, and to the extent that, we or our designee determine that Compounded SOFR cannot be determined in accordance with
clause (1) above, then the rate, or methodology for this rate, and conventions for this rate that have been selected by us or

our designee giving due consideration to any industry-accepted market practice for U.S. dollar denominated floating rate
notes at such time.
"Corresponding Tenor" with respect to a Benchmark Replacement means a tenor (including overnight) having
approximately the same length (disregarding business day adjustment) as the applicable tenor for the then-current Benchmark.
"Federal Reserve Bank of New York's Website" means the website of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York at
http://www.newyorkfed.org, or any successor source.
"Interpolated Benchmark" with respect to the Benchmark means the rate determined for the Corresponding Tenor by
interpolating on a linear basis between: (1) the Benchmark for the longest period (for which the Benchmark is available) that is
shorter than the Corresponding Tenor and (2) the Benchmark for the shortest period (for which the Benchmark is available) that is
longer than the Corresponding Tenor.
"ISDA Definitions" means the 2006 ISDA Definitions published by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association,
Inc. ("ISDA") or any successor thereto, as amended or supplemented from time to time, or any successor definitional booklet for
interest rate derivatives published from time to time.
"ISDA Fallback Adjustment" means the spread adjustment, (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) that
would apply for derivatives transactions referencing the ISDA Definitions to be determined upon the occurrence of an index
cessation event with respect to the Benchmark for the applicable tenor.
"ISDA Fallback Rate" means the rate that would apply for derivatives transactions referencing the ISDA Definitions to be
effective upon the occurrence of an index cessation date with respect to the Benchmark for the applicable tenor excluding the
applicable ISDA Fallback Adjustment.

6
"Reference Time" with respect to any determination of the Benchmark means (1) if the Benchmark is three-month
LIBOR, 11:00 a.m. (London time) on the day that is two London banking days preceding the date of such determination, and (2) if
the Benchmark is not three-month LIBOR, the time determined by us or our designee in accordance with the Benchmark
Replacement Conforming Changes.

selected or recommended by the Relevant Governmental Body.
"Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement" means the Benchmark Replacement excluding the Benchmark Replacement
Adjustment.

Risk Factors:
If A Benchmark Transition Event And Its Related Benchmark Replacement Date Occur
With Respect To LIBOR, The Interest Rate For The Floating Rate Period Will No
Longer Be Determined By Reference To LIBOR.
On July 27, 2017, the Chief Executive of the United Kingdom Financial Conduct Authority,
https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/72971/000119312520024436/d881197d424b2.htm[2/5/2020 10:51:55 AM]

DEFINITIVE PRICING SUPPLEMENT NO. 8
which regulates LIBOR, announced that it intends to stop persuading or compelling banks to
submit rates for the calculation of LIBOR to the administrator of LIBOR after 2021. The
announcement indicates that the continuation of LIBOR on the current basis cannot and will
not be guaranteed after 2021. Unless the notes have been previously redeemed, the interest
rate on the notes will be based on LIBOR beginning on the date set forth above. It is
impossible to predict whether and to what extent banks will continue to provide LIBOR
submissions to the administrator of LIBOR or whether any additional reforms to LIBOR may
be enacted in the United Kingdom or elsewhere.
If a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date occur with
respect to LIBOR, then for each interest reset date in respect of the Floating Rate Period that
occurs on or after such Benchmark Replacement Date, the floating rate of interest on the notes
will no longer be determined by reference to LIBOR, but instead will be determined by us or
our designee by reference to another rate, as described above under the section entitled "Effect
of Benchmark Transition Event." While the rate used to determine the interest rate on the
notes in these circumstances is expected to be Term SOFR, it is possible that such rate will
instead be Compounded SOFR or another rate pursuant to the definition of "Benchmark
Replacement" set forth above. The occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event and its

7

related Benchmark Replacement Date may adversely affect the value of and your return on the
notes.
The Benchmark Replacement Is Uncertain.
Although the notes provide that the rate used to determine the floating rate of interest on the
notes upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark
Replacement Date is expected to be Term SOFR, such rate does not exist as of the date
hereof, and there is no guarantee that Term SOFR will exist prior to any discontinuation of
LIBOR. Assuming Term SOFR does not exist at the time of a Benchmark Transition Event
and its related Benchmark Replacement Date, the notes provide that the floating rate of
interest on the notes will be determined by reference to Compounded SOFR or another rate
pursuant to the definition of "Benchmark Replacement" set forth above. There is currently,
however, no market convention with respect to the calculation of Compounded SOFR. The
additional alternative rates referenced in the definition of "Benchmark Replacement" are also
uncertain. In particular, the ISDA Fallback Rate, which is the rate referenced in the ISDA
Definitions at the time of a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark
Replacement Date, has not been established as of the date hereof. Even after the ISDA
Fallback Rate is initially determined, ISDA Definitions and the ISDA Fallback Rate may
change over time. If each alternative rate referenced in the definition of "Benchmark
Replacement" is unavailable or indeterminable, we or our designee will determine the
Benchmark Replacement that will apply to the notes. The substitution of a Benchmark
Replacement for LIBOR may adversely affect the value of and your return on the notes.
We Or Our Designee Will Have Authority To Make Determinations, Elections,
Calculations And Adjustments That Could Affect The Value Of And Your Return On
The Notes.
We or our designee will make determinations, decisions, elections, calculations and
adjustments as set forth under the section entitled "Effect of Benchmark Transition Event"
above that may adversely affect the value of and your return on the notes. In particular, we or
our designee will determine the Benchmark Replacement and the Benchmark Replacement
Adjustment and can apply any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes deemed
reasonably necessary to adopt the Benchmark Replacement. Although we or our designee will
exercise judgment in good faith when performing such functions, potential conflicts of interest
may exist between us, our designee and you. All determinations, decisions, elections,
calculations and adjustments by us or our designee in our or its discretion will be conclusive
for all purposes and binding on us and holders of the notes absent manifest error. In making
https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/72971/000119312520024436/d881197d424b2.htm[2/5/2020 10:51:55 AM]

DEFINITIVE PRICING SUPPLEMENT NO. 8
the determinations, decisions, elections, calculations and adjustments noted under the section
entitled "Effect of Benchmark Transition

8
Event" above, we or our designee may have economic interests that are adverse to your
interests, and such determinations, decisions, elections, calculations and adjustments may
adversely affect the value of and your return on the notes. Because the continuation of LIBOR
on the current basis cannot and will not be guaranteed, and because the Benchmark
Replacement is uncertain, we or our designee are likely to exercise more discretion in respect
of calculating interest payable on the notes for the Floating Rate Period than would be the
case in the absence of a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement
Date.
Term SOFR Does Not Currently Exist And May Not Exist Prior To Any Discontinuation
of LIBOR.
If a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date occur with
respect to LIBOR, the Benchmark Replacement used to determine the interest payable on the
notes for the Floating Rate Period is expected to be Term SOFR. As of the date hereof, Term
SOFR does not exist, and there is no guarantee that Term SOFR will exist prior to any
discontinuation of LIBOR. Even if Term SOFR is developed, it is unclear whether it will be a
suitable substitute or successor for LIBOR.
In addition, while the terms of the notes provide for a "Benchmark Replacement Adjustment"
to be added to Term SOFR to approximate a LIBOR-equivalent rate, such rate may be only an
estimate or approximation of LIBOR, may not be subject to continued verification against
LIBOR if it is suspended, discontinued or unavailable, and may not result in a rate that is the
economic equivalent of LIBOR.
Uncertainty surrounding the development of Term SOFR may adversely affect the value of
and your return on the notes.
Compounded SOFR Is Not A Forward-Looking Rate And May Not Be A Suitable
Substitute For LIBOR.
Assuming Term SOFR does not exist at the time of a Benchmark Transition Event and its
related Benchmark Replacement Date, the notes provide that the floating rate of interest on
the notes will be determined by reference to Compounded SOFR. Compounded SOFR is the
compounded average of daily SOFRs calculated in arrears while LIBOR is a forward-looking
rate that is published with different maturities.
In addition, while the terms of the notes provide for a "Benchmark Replacement Adjustment"
to be added to Compounded SOFR to approximate a LIBOR-equivalent rate, such rate may be
only an estimate or approximation of LIBOR, may not be subject to continued verification
against LIBOR if it is suspended,

9
discontinued or unavailable, and may not result in a rate that is the economic equivalent of
LIBOR.
Uncertainty surrounding the establishment of market conventions related to the calculation of
Compounded SOFR and whether it is a suitable substitute or successor for LIBOR may
adversely affect the value of and your return on the notes.
SOFR Has A Very Limited History; The Future Performance of SOFR Cannot Be
Predicted Based On Historical Performance.
https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/72971/000119312520024436/d881197d424b2.htm[2/5/2020 10:51:55 AM]

DEFINITIVE PRICING SUPPLEMENT NO. 8
The publication of SOFR began on April 3, 2018, and it therefore has a limited history. In
addition, the future performance of SOFR cannot be predicted based on the limited historical
performance. The level of SOFR following the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event
and its related Benchmark Replacement Date may bear little or no relation to the historical
level of SOFR. Prior observed patterns, if any, in the behavior of market variables, such as
correlations, may change in the future. While some pre-publication historical data has been
released by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, such analysis inherently involves
assumptions, estimates and approximations. The future performance of SOFR is impossible to
predict and therefore no future performance of SOFR or the notes may be inferred from any of
the historical simulations or historical performance. Hypothetical or historical performance
data are not indicative of, and have no bearing on, the potential performance of SOFR or the
notes.
Any Failure Of SOFR To Gain Market Acceptance Could Adversely Affect The Notes.
SOFR may fail to gain market acceptance. SOFR was developed for use in certain U.S. Dollar
derivatives and other financial contracts as an alternative to U.S. Dollar LIBOR in part
because it is considered a good representation of general funding conditions in the overnight
Treasury repo market. However, as a rate based on transactions secured by U.S. Treasury
securities, it does not measure bank-specific credit risk and, as a result, is less likely to
correlate with the unsecured short-term funding costs of banks. This may mean that market
participants would not consider SOFR a suitable substitute or successor for all of the purposes
for which LIBOR historically has been used (including, without limitation, as a representation
of the unsecured short-term funding costs of banks), which may, in turn, lessen market
acceptance of SOFR. Any failure of SOFR to gain market acceptance could adversely affect
the value of and your return on the notes and the price at which you can sell your notes.

10
The Composition And Characteristics of SOFR Are Not The Same As Those Of LIBOR
And SOFR Is Not Expected To Be A Comparable Substitute For LIBOR.
In June 2017, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York's Alternative Reference Rates
Committee announced SOFR as its recommended alternative to U.S. Dollar LIBOR. However,
the composition and characteristics of SOFR are not the same as those of LIBOR. SOFR is a
broad Treasury repo financing rate that represents overnight secured funding transactions. This
means that SOFR is not the economic equivalent of LIBOR (or any other alternative reference
rate to LIBOR) for two key reasons. First, SOFR is a secured rate, while LIBOR is an
unsecured rate. Second, SOFR is currently only an overnight rate, while LIBOR is a forward-
looking rate that represents interbank funding over different maturities. As a result, there can
be no assurance that SOFR will perform in the same way as LIBOR would have at any time,
including, without limitation, as a result of changes in interest and yield rates in the market,
market volatility or global or regional economic, financial, political, regulatory, judicial or
other events. For the same reasons, there is no guarantee that SOFR is comparable as a
substitute for LIBOR.
In addition, while the terms of the notes provide for a "Benchmark Replacement Adjustment"
to be added to the Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement to approximate a LIBOR-equivalent
rate, such rate may be only an estimate or approximation of LIBOR, may not be subject to
continued verification against LIBOR if it is suspended, discontinued or unavailable, and may
not result in a rate that is the economic equivalent of LIBOR.
The Administrator Of SOFR May Make Changes That Could Change The Value of
SOFR Or Discontinue SOFR And Has No Obligation To Consider Your Interests In
Doing So.
SOFR is a relatively new rate, and The Federal Reserve Bank of New York (or a successor),
as administrator of SOFR, may make methodological or other changes that could change the
https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/72971/000119312520024436/d881197d424b2.htm[2/5/2020 10:51:55 AM]

DEFINITIVE PRICING SUPPLEMENT NO. 8
value of SOFR, including changes related to the method by which SOFR is calculated,
eligibility criteria applicable to the transactions used to calculate SOFR, or timing related to
the publication of SOFR. In addition, the administrator may alter, discontinue or suspend
calculation or dissemination of SOFR (in which case an alternative rate referenced in the
definition of "Replacement Benchmark" will apply). The administrator has no obligation to
consider your interests in calculating, adjusting, converting, revising or discontinuing SOFR.

Supplemental Plan of

Distribution:
On February 4, 2020, we agreed to sell to the Agents, and the Agents agreed to purchase, the
notes at a purchase price of 99.55%, plus accrued interest, if any, from February 11, 2020.
The purchase price equals the issue price of 100.00% less a discount of 0.45% of the principal
amount of the notes.
United States Federal

Income Tax Considerations:
In the opinion of Faegre Drinker Biddle & Reath LLP, the notes should be considered variable
rate debt securities that provide for stated interest at a fixed rate in addition to a qualified
floating rate. See "U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations--U.S. Federal

DEFINITIVE PRICING SUPPLEMENT NO. 8
Income Taxation of U.S. Holders--Variable Rate Debt Securities" in the accompanying
prospectus. Notwithstanding that we expect that the notes will be issued at par, under rules
governing notes with a fixed rate in addition to a qualified floating rate, it is possible that the
notes could be issued with OID. Whether the notes are issued with OID will be determined at
the time of issue. Information regarding the determination of the amount of OID, if any, on
the notes may be obtained by submitting a written request to Wells Fargo Bank, National
Association, Treasury Funding Desk, N9310-060, 550 South Fourth Street, Minneapolis, MN
55415-1529.
In October 2019, the United States Department of Treasury released proposed regulations that
would apply to debt securities, including the notes, with an alternative rate in the event that
LIBOR is unavailable or unreliable. The notes will be treated as having a single "qualified
floating rate" and the possibility that LIBOR will become unavailable or unreliable is treated
as a "remote contingency" that will be disregarded for purposes of determining whether the
notes are subject to a contingency. Further, the replacement of LIBOR with an alternative rate
will not be a modification and will not result in a deemed exchange of the notes if the fair
market value of the notes after the replacement is substantially equivalent to the fair market
value before replacement. The proposed regulations provide two safe harbors for determining
whether the fair market value is substantially equivalent after the alternation. The proposed
regulations are effective after they are published as final regulations, though taxpayers may
rely on them earlier in certain circumstances. Prospective investors should consult their tax
advisors regarding the application of the proposed regulations to the notes.
Additional tax considerations are discussed under "U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations"
in the accompanying prospectus.
