1. PROVISION OF SERVICES
ServiceNow will make the following purchased services available to Customer, subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement and each mutually acceptable written ordering document signed or otherwise accepted by both Customer and ServiceNow (each,
an "Order Form") and the product overview attached thereto ("Product Overview"), including without limitation: (a) use of the Subscription
Service (as defined below); (b) professional services ("Professional Services"); and (c) any additional services. "Subscription Service"
means the ServiceNow platform and ServiceNow applications (ordered by Customer under an Order Form) which are made available by
ServiceNow as a software as a service (SaaS) offering online via web access designated by ServiceNow. Each Order Form is hereby
incorporated into and made a part of this Agreement for that order.
2. ORDERING
2.1. SUBSCRIPTION SERVICE.
An Order Form for a Subscription Service shall specify the term of authorized use of the
Subscription Service ("Subscription Term"), the fees and other charges for the Subscription Service, any special payment terms, and the
numbers, types and identifiers of permitted users, applications, servers, devices, capacity and locations at or through which Customer is
permitted to use the Subscription Service. Customer may not use or otherwise access the Subscription Service in a manner that exceeds
Customer's authorized use as set forth in this Agreement and the applicable Order Form. If Customer exceeds its permitted use of the
Subscription Service, then, Customer will promptly notify ServiceNow and within thirty (30) days thereafter: (i) disable unpermitted use; or (ii)
purchase additional subscriptions. ServiceNow may review Customer's use of the Subscription Service, and Customer shall provide any
reasonable assistance, to verify Customer's compliance with the Agreement. ServiceNow may suspend Customer's use of the Subscription
Service after giving thirty (30) days' written notice of non-compliance identified in such review, in addition to any other rights or remedies
ServiceNow may have.
2.2. PROFESSIONAL SERVICE.
An Order Form for Professional Services shall specify either or both of: (A) ServiceNow
packaged professional services (each offering, a "Packaged Service"), as described in one or more service descriptions (if not attached to the
Order Form, then as set forth on www.servicenow.com/schedules.do) ("Service Description"); or (B) other Professional Services described in
one or more written statements of work ("SOW") signed by ServiceNow and Customer.
2.3. PAYMENT TERMS.
Except as expressly set forth in the applicable Order Form or SOW: (a) Subscription Service fees are
invoiced annually in advance; (b) Professional Services fees are invoiced on a time and materials basis (including reasonable travel expenses)
monthly in arrears; and (c) Customer shall pay each invoice in full within thirty (30) days after the date of invoice in U.S. dollars. If Customer
specifies in an Order Form that it is issuing a purchase order for such Order Form, then ServiceNow shall reference the applicable Customer
purchase order number on its invoices (solely for administrative convenience) so long as Customer provides the purchase order number to
ServiceNow at least five (5) business days prior to the date of the applicable ServiceNow invoice. Late payments shall accrue interest at a rate
of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month or the legal maximum interest rate, whichever is lower. If Customer is delinquent in payment of
amounts for the services owed hereunder, ServiceNow may give notice to Customer of such delinquency and, in such case, Customer will
have thirty (30) days from the date of ServiceNow's written notice to cure the delinquency. If Customer fails to cure the delinquency,
ServiceNow may, in addition to its other rights and remedies provided hereunder or at law, terminate or suspend the affected service.
2.4. TAXES. All payments required by this Agreement are exclusive of federal, state, local and foreign taxes, duties, tariffs,
levies and similar assessments. Customer agrees to bear and be responsible for the payment of all taxes, duties, tariffs, levies, fees and
charges of any kind, including sales, use, excise or value added taxes, and all other similar charges (collectively, "Taxes") which are imposed
on transactions under this Agreement by or under the authority of any government body, excluding Taxes based solely upon ServiceNow's net
income. Customer shall make all payments required without deduction of any Taxes, except as required by law, in which case the amount
payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making any required deductions and withholdings, ServiceNow receives and retains
(free from any liability for payment of Taxes) an amount equal to the amount it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings
been made. If Customer is a tax-exempt entity or claims exemption from any Taxes under this Agreement, Customer shall provide a certificate
of exemption upon execution of this Agreement and, after receipt of valid evidence of exemption, ServiceNow shall not charge Customer any
Taxes from which it is exempt.

9.6. ENTIRETY.
This Agreement, together with the referenced and/or attached documents, is the final and entire agreement of
the parties regarding the subject matter of this Agreement and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous oral or written agreements,
representations, understandings, undertakings and negotiations. In the event of any conflict between this Agreement and any referenced

original.

shall be final and binding upon both parties, and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having
jurisdiction thereof. Any monetary award shall be payable in United States dollars. To the extent permitted by law, choice of law rules and the

property rights.
