2012 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN
GLOBAL STOCK OPTION AWARD AGREEMENT

Unless otherwise defined in this Global Stock Option Award Agreement (the “Agreement”), any capitalized terms used herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the ServiceNow, Inc. (the “Company”) 2012 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”).
Participant has been granted an option to purchase Shares (the “Option”), subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, the Notice of Global Stock Option Grant (the “Notice”) and this Agreement, including any appendix to this Agreement for Participant’s country (the “Appendix”).
        
1.    Vesting Rights. Subject to the applicable provisions of the Plan and this Agreement, this Option may be exercised, in whole or in part, in accordance with the schedule set forth in the Notice.

2.    Termination Period.

(a)    General Rule. Except as provided below, and subject to the Plan, this Option may be exercised for 90 days after Participant’s Termination. In no event shall this Option be exercised later than the Expiration Date set forth in the Notice.

(b)    Death; Disability. Unless provided otherwise in the Notice, upon Participant’s Termination by reason of his or her death, or if a Participant dies within 90 days of the Termination Date, this Option may be exercised for twelve months, provided that in no event shall this Option be exercised later than the Expiration Date set forth in the Notice. Unless provided otherwise in the Notice, upon Participant’s Termination by reason of his or her Disability, this Option may be exercised for six months, provided that in no event shall this Option be exercised later than the Expiration Date set forth in the Notice.

(c)    Cause. Upon Participant’s Termination for Cause (as defined in the Plan), the Option shall expire on such date of Participant’s Termination Date.

3.    Grant of Option. Participant named in the Notice has been granted an Option for the number of Shares set forth in the Notice at the exercise price per Share in U.S. Dollars set forth in the Notice (the “Exercise Price”). In the event of a conflict between the terms and conditions of the Plan and the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the terms and conditions of the Plan shall prevail. If designated in the Notice as an Incentive Stock Option (“ISO”), this Option is intended to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option under Section 422 of the Code. However, if this Option is intended to be an ISO, to the extent that it exceeds the U.S. $100,000 rule of Code Section 422(d) it shall be treated as a Nonqualified Stock Option (“NQSO”).

4.    Exercise of Option.

(a)    Right to Exercise. This Option is exercisable during its term in accordance with the Vesting Schedule set forth in the Notice and the applicable provisions of the Plan and this Agreement. In the event of Participant’s death, Disability, Termination for Cause or other Termination, the exercisability of the Option is governed by the applicable provisions of the Plan, the Notice and this Agreement.






(b)    Method of Exercise. This Option is exercisable by delivery of an exercise notice (the “Exercise Notice”), which shall state the election to exercise the Option, the number of Shares in respect of which the Option is being exercised (the “Exercised Shares”), and such other representations and agreements as may be required by the Company pursuant to the provisions of the Plan. The Exercise Notice shall be delivered in person, by mail, via electronic mail or facsimile or by other authorized method to the Secretary of the Company or other person designated by the Company. The Exercise Notice shall be accompanied by payment of the aggregate Exercise Price as to all Exercised Shares together with any Tax-Related Items withholding (as defined in Section 8(a) below). This Option shall be deemed to be exercised upon receipt by the Company of such fully executed Exercise Notice accompanied by such aggregate Exercise Price and payment of any Tax-Related Items.

(c)    No Shares shall be issued pursuant to the exercise of this Option unless such issuance and exercise complies with all relevant provisions of law and the requirements of any stock exchange or quotation service upon which the Shares are then listed and any exchange control restrictions. Assuming such compliance, for income tax purposes the Exercised Shares shall be considered transferred to Participant on the date the Option is exercised with respect to such Exercised Shares.

5.    Method of Payment. Payment of the aggregate Exercise Price shall be by any of the following, or a combination thereof, at the election of Participant:

(a)    cash;

(b)    check;

(c)    a “broker-assisted” or “same-day sale” (as described in Section 11(d) of the Plan); or

(d)    other method authorized by the Committee.

6.    Limited Transferability of Option. Except as set forth in this Section 6, this Option may not be transferred in any manner other than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution or court order and may be exercised during the lifetime of Participant only by Participant or unless otherwise permitted by the Committee on a case-by-case basis. The terms of the Plan and this Agreement shall be binding upon the executors, administrators, heirs, successors and assigns of Participant. Notwithstanding anything else in this Section 6, for U.S. Participants, a NQSO may be transferred by instrument to an inter vivos or testamentary trust in which the NQSO is to be passed to beneficiaries upon the death of the trustor (settlor), to a guardian on the disability or to an executor on death of the NQSO holder, or by gift or pursuant to domestic relations orders to Participant’s “Immediate Family” (as defined below), provided that any such permitted transferees may not transfer NQSOs to parties other than Participant or Participant’s Immediate Family (transfers between a Participant’s Immediate Family and between a Participant’s Immediate Family and Participant are permitted). For the sake of clarification, multiple transfers of NQSOs may be made, by gift or pursuant to domestic relations orders, back and forth between Immediate Family and a Participant pursuant to this Section 6. “Immediate Family” means any child, stepchild, grandchild, parent, stepparent, grandparent, spouse, former spouse, domestic partner sharing the same household, sibling, niece, nephew, mother-in-law, father-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, brother-in-law, or sister-in-law (including adoptive relationships), a trust in which these persons have more than fifty percent of the beneficial interest, a foundation in which these persons (or Participant) control the management of assets, and any other entity in which these persons (or Participant) own more than fifty percent of the voting interests. The terms of the Plan and this Agreement shall be binding upon the executors, administrators, heirs, transferees, successors and assigns of Participant.

7.    Term of Option. This Option shall in any event expire on the expiration date set forth in the Notice, which date is 10 years after the Date of Grant (five years after the Date of Grant if this option is designated as an ISO in the Notice and Section 5.3 of the Plan applies).







8.    Tax Consequences.

(a)    Exercising the Option. Participant acknowledges that, regardless of any action taken by the Company or a Parent or Subsidiary of the Company employing or retaining Participant (the “Employer”), the ultimate liability for all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, fringe benefits tax, payment on account or other tax related items related to Participant’s participation in the Plan and legally applicable to Participant (“Tax-Related Items”) is and remains Participant’s responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or the Employer, if any. Participant further acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of this Option, including, but not limited to, the grant, vesting or exercise of this Option, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired pursuant to such exercise and the receipt of any dividends; and (ii) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of this Option to reduce or eliminate Participant’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if Participant is subject to Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction, Participant acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.

Prior to the relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, Participant agrees to make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Employer to satisfy all Tax-Related Items. In this regard, Participant authorizes the Company and/or the Employer, or their respective agents, at their discretion, to satisfy the obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the following:

(i)
withholding from Participant’s wages or other cash compensation paid to Participant by the Company and/or the Employer;

(ii)
withholding from proceeds of the sale of Shares acquired at exercise of this Option either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on Participant’s behalf pursuant to this authorization) without further consent; or

(iii)
any other arrangement approved by the Committee;

The Company may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable minimum statutory withholding amounts or other applicable withholding rates, including maximum applicable rates in Participant's jurisdiction(s), in which case Participant may receive a refund of any over-withheld amount in cash and will have no entitlement to the equivalent in Shares. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in Shares upon receipt of approval by the Committee pursuant to (iii) above, for tax purposes, Participant is deemed to have been issued the full member of Shares issued upon exercise of the Options, notwithstanding that a number of the Shares are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items. The Fair Market Value of these Shares, determined as of the effective date of the Option exercise, will be applied as a credit against the Tax-Related Items withholding.

Finally, Participant agrees to pay to the Company or the Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company or the Employer may be required to withhold or account for as a result of Participant’s participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Company may refuse to issue or deliver the Shares or the proceeds of the sale of Shares, if Participant fails to comply with his or her obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.

(b)    Notice of Disqualifying Disposition of ISO Shares. For U.S. taxpayers, if Participant sells or otherwise disposes of any of the Shares acquired pursuant to an ISO on or before the later of (i) two years after the grant date, or (ii) one year after the exercise date, Participant shall immediately notify the Company in writing of such disposition. Participant agrees that he or she may be subject to income tax withholding by the Company on the compensation income recognized from such early disposition of ISO Shares by payment in cash or out of the current earnings paid to Participant.






9.    No Advice Regarding Grant. The Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations regarding Participant’s participation in the Plan, or Participant’s acquisition or sale of the underlying Shares. Participant is hereby advised to consult with his or her own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding his or her participation in the Plan before taking any action related to the Plan.
    
10.    Appendix. Notwithstanding any provisions in this Agreement, the Option grant shall be subject to any special terms and conditions set forth in any appendix to this Agreement for Participant’s country. Moreover, if Participant relocates to another country, the special terms and conditions for such country will apply to Participant, to the extent the Company determines that the application of such terms and conditions is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons. The Appendix constitutes part of this Agreement.

11.    Imposition of Other Requirements. The Company reserves the right to impose other requirements on Participant’s participation in the Plan, on the Option and on any Shares purchased upon exercise of the Option, to the extent the Company determines it is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons, and to require Participant to sign any additional agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing.
12.    Acknowledgement. The Company and Participant agree that the Option is granted under and governed by the Notice, this Agreement (including the Appendix) and by the provisions of the Plan (incorporated herein by reference). Participant: (i) acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan and the Plan prospectus, (ii) represents that Participant has carefully read and is familiar with their provisions, and (iii) hereby accepts the Option subject to all of the terms and conditions set forth herein and those set forth in the Plan and the Notice.
13.    Entire Agreement; Enforcement of Rights. This Agreement (including the Appendix), the Plan and the Notice constitute the entire agreement and understanding of the parties relating to the subject matter herein and supersede all prior discussions between them. Any prior agreements, commitments or negotiations concerning the purchase of the Shares hereunder are superseded. No modification of or amendment to this Agreement, nor any waiver of any rights under this Agreement, shall be effective unless in writing and signed by the parties to this Agreement. The failure by either party to enforce any rights under this Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver of any rights of such party.
14.    Compliance with Laws and Regulations. The issuance of Shares and any restriction on the sale of Shares will be subject to and conditioned upon compliance by the Company and Participant with all applicable state, federal and foreign laws and regulations and with all applicable requirements of any stock exchange or automated quotation system on which the Company’s Shares may be listed or quoted at the time of such issuance or transfer.
15.    Governing Law; Severability. If one or more provisions of this Agreement are held to be unenforceable, the parties agree to renegotiate such provision in good faith. In the event that the parties cannot reach a mutually agreeable and enforceable replacement for such provision, then (i) such provision shall be excluded from this Agreement, (ii) the balance of this Agreement shall be interpreted as if such provision were so excluded and (iii) the balance of this Agreement shall be enforceable in accordance with its terms. This Agreement and all acts and transactions pursuant hereto and the rights and obligations of the parties hereto shall be governed, construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to principles of conflicts of law. For purposes of litigating any dispute that arises directly or indirectly from the relationship of the parties evidenced by this grant, the parties hereby submit to and consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the State of California and agree that such litigation shall be conducted only in the courts of San Jose, California, or the federal courts for the United States for the Northern District of California, and no other courts, where this grant is made and/or to be performed.





16.    No Rights as Employee, Director or Consultant. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect in any manner whatsoever the right or power of the Company, or a Parent or Subsidiary, to terminate Participant’s service, for any reason, with or without Cause.
By Participant’s signature and the signature of the Company’s representative on the Notice, Participant and the Company agree that this Option is granted under and governed by the terms and conditions of the Plan, the Notice and this Agreement (including the Appendix). Participant has reviewed the Plan, the Notice and this Agreement in their entirety, has had an opportunity to obtain the advice of counsel prior to executing the Notice, and fully understands all provisions of the Plan, the Notice and this Agreement. Participant hereby agrees to accept as binding, conclusive and final all decisions or interpretations of the Committee upon any questions relating to the Plan, the Notice and this Agreement. Participant further agrees to notify the Company upon any change in the residence address indicated on the Notice. By acceptance of this Option, Participant agrees to participate in the Plan through an on-line or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or a third party designated by the Company and consents to the electronic delivery of the Notice, the Appendix, this Agreement, the Plan, account statements, Plan prospectuses required by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, U.S. financial reports of the Company, and all other documents that the Company is required to deliver to its security holders (including, without limitation, annual reports and proxy statements) or other communications or information related to the Option. Electronic delivery may include the delivery of a link to a Company intranet or the internet site of a third party involved in administering the Plan, the delivery of the document via e-mail or such other delivery determined at the Company’s discretion.

Terms and Conditions

This Appendix includes additional terms and conditions that govern this Option granted to a Participant who resides outside the United States or who is otherwise subject to the laws of a country other than the United States.

In addition, the information contained herein is general in nature and may not apply to Participant’s particular situation and the Company is not in a position to assure Participant of any particular result. Accordingly, Participant should seek appropriate professional advice as to how the relevant laws in Participant’s country may apply to his or her situation.

Finally, if Participant is a citizen or resident of a country other than the one in which he or she is currently working and/or residing or transfers to another country after the grant of this Option, or is considered a resident of another country for local law purposes, the information contained herein may not be applicable to Participant in the same manner.

2.    Data Privacy Information and Consent. The Company is located at 2225 Lawson Lane, Santa Clara, California 95054 U.S.A. and grants Options to Employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries and affiliates, at its sole discretion. If Participant would like to participate in the Plan, he or she should review the following information about the Company’s data processing practices.
(a)    Data Collection and Usage. The Company (as well as Participant's Employer and the Company's other Subsidiaries) collects, processes and uses personal data of Employees, including name, home address, email address and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance, passport or other identification number, salary, citizenship, job title, any Shares or directorships held in the Company, and details of all Options canceled, vested, or outstanding in Participant’s favor, which the Company receives from Participant or the Employer. If the Company offers Participant a grant of Options under the Plan, then the Company will collect his or her personal data for purposes of allocating shares and implementing, administering and managing the Plan. The Company relies upon Participant’s consent for the processing of his or her personal data in this manner and as otherwise set out below.
(b)    Stock Plan Administration Service Providers. The Company transfers Employee data amongst its’ Subsidiaries and affiliates and also to Fidelity Brokerage Services LLC or its affiliates (“Fidelity”) an independent service provider based in the United States which assists the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan. In the future, the Company may select a different service provider and share Participant’s data with another company that serves in a similar manner. By participating in the Plan, Participant gives his or her consent to such transfer of data, or to such alternative third party service provider that the Company may select in the future. The Company’s service provider will open an account for Participant to receive and trade Shares. Participant will be asked to agree on separate terms and data processing practices with the service provider, which is a condition of Participant’s ability to participate in the Plan.
(c)    International Data Transfers. The Company and its service providers are based in the United States. If Participant is outside the United States, he or she should note that his or her country has enacted data privacy laws that are different from the United States. By participating in the Plan, Participant gives his or her consent to the transfer of his or her data to the United States, or to such other jurisdiction as may be necessary for the delivery of the Plan and administration thereof.
(d)    Data Retention. The Company will use Participant’s personal data only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage his or her participation in the Plan or as required to comply with, or satisfy, any legal or regulatory obligations, including under tax and security laws. The Company may also keep data longer as part of Participant’s normal employee file and record, based on such retention policy as may be notified from time to time.
(e)    Voluntariness and Consequences of Consent Denial or Withdrawal. Participant’s participation in the Plan and his or her grant of consent is purely voluntary. Participant may deny or withdraw his or her consent at any time. If Participant does not consent, or if he or she withdraws his or her consent, he or she cannot participate in the Plan. This would not affect Participant’s salary as an employee or his or her career; Participant would merely forfeit the opportunities associated with the Plan.
(f)    Data Subject Rights. Participant may have a number of rights under data privacy laws in his or her particular country. Depending on where Participant is based, his or her rights may include the right to (a) request access or copies of personal data the Company’s processes, (b) rectification of incorrect data, (c) deletion of data, (d) restrictions on processing, (e) portability of data, (f) lodge complaints with competent authorities in his or her country, and/or (g) a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of his or her personal data.

Participant acknowledges that he or she is proficient in the English language, or has consulted with an advisor who is sufficiently proficient in English, so as to allow Participant to understand the terms and conditions of this Agreement. If Participant has received this Agreement, or any other document related to the Option and/or the Plan translated into a language other than English and if the meaning of the translated version is different than the English version, the English version will control.
4.    Insider Trading Restrictions/Market Abuse Laws. Participant may be subject to insider trading restrictions and/or market abuse laws based on the exchange on which the Shares are listed and in applicable jurisdictions, including Participant’s country and the designated broker’s country, which may affect Participant's ability to accept, acquire, sell or otherwise dispose of the Shares, rights to the Shares (i.e., Options) or rights linked to the value of the Shares under the Plan during such times as Participant is considered to have “inside information” regarding the Company (as defined by the laws in the applicable jurisdictions). Local insider trading laws and regulations may prohibit the cancellation or amendment of orders Participant placed before he or she possessed inside information. Furthermore, Participant could be prohibited from (i) disclosing the inside information to any third party, which may include fellow employees and (ii) “tipping” third parties or causing them otherwise to buy or sell securities. Any restrictions under these laws or regulations are separate from and in addition to any restrictions that may be imposed under any applicable Company insider trading policy. Participant acknowledges that it is Participant's responsibility to comply with any applicable restrictions and is encouraged to speak to his or her personal legal advisor for further details regarding any applicable insider-trading and/or market-abuse laws in his or her country.
5.    Foreign Asset/Account Reporting. Participant’s country of residence may have certain foreign asset and/or account reporting requirements which may affect his or her ability to acquire or hold Shares under the Plan or cash received from participating in the Plan (including the sales proceeds arising from the sale of Shares) in a brokerage or bank account outside Participant’s country. Participant may be required to report such amounts, assets or transactions to the tax or other authorities in his or her country. Participant also may be required to repatriate sale proceeds or other funds received as a result of his or her participation in the Plan to his or her country through a designated bank or broker and/or within a certain time after receipt.

Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Information. Italian residents who, at any time during the fiscal year, hold investments abroad or foreign financial assets (such as cash and Shares) that may generate income taxable in Italy are required to report these assets on their annual tax returns (UNICO Form, RW Schedule) for the year during which the assets are held, or on a special form if no tax return is due, irrespective of their value.

Tax on Foreign Financial Assets. The value of any Shares (and certain other foreign assets) Participant holds outside Italy may be subject to a foreign financial assets tax. The taxable amount is equal to the fair market value of the Shares on December 31 or on the last day the Shares were held (in such case, or when the Shares are acquired during the course of the year, the tax is levied in proportion to the number of days the Shares were held over the calendar year). No foreign financial assets tax will arise if the value of the foreign assets held abroad does not exceed a certain threshold. If Participant is subject to this foreign financial assets tax, Participant is responsible for reporting the value of his or her foreign assets and paying the foreign financial assets tax. Participant should contact Participant’s personal tax advisor for additional information about the foreign financial assets tax.

Modification. By accepting the Option, Participant understands and agrees that any modification of the Plan or the Agreement or its termination shall not constitute a change or impairment of the terms and conditions of employment.

In addition, by signing the Agreement, Participant further acknowledges that Participant has read and specifically and expressly approved the terms and conditions in Section 1 of this Appendix, in which the following is clearly described and established: (i) participation in the Plan does not constitute an acquired right; (ii) the Plan and participation in the Plan is offered by the Company on a wholly discretionary basis; (iii) participation in the Plan is voluntary; and (iv) the Company and any Parent or Subsidiary are not responsible for any decrease in the value of the Shares underlying the Option.

SINGAPORE

Terms and Conditions
Restriction on Sale of Shares. To the extent the Option vests and Participant exercises his or her Option within six (6) months of the Date of Grant, Participant may not dispose of the Shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of the Option, or otherwise offer the Shares to the public, prior to the six-month anniversary of the Date of Grant, unless such sale or offer is made pursuant to one or more the exemptions under Part XIII Division (1) Subdivision (4) (other than Section 280) of the Securities and Futures Act (Chap. 289, 2006 Ed.) (“SFA”) or pursuant to, and in accordance with the conditions of, any other applicable provision(s) of the SFA.

Notifications

Securities Law Information. The Option is being granted pursuant to the “Qualifying Person” exemption under Section 273(1)(f) of the SFA, on which basis it is exempt from the prospectus and registration requirements under the SFA, and is not made with a view to the Option or the underlying Shares being subsequently offered for sale to any other party.

Chief Executive Officer and Director Notification Obligation. If Participant is a Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) or a director, associate director or shadow director of the Company’s Singapore Parent or Subsidiary, Participant is subject to certain notification requirements under the Singapore Companies Act. Among these requirements is an obligation to notify the Company’s Singapore Parent or Subsidiary in writing when Participant receives an interest (e.g., Options or Shares) in the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary within two (2) business days of (i) its acquisition or disposal, (ii) any change in a previously disclosed interest (e.g., when Shares are sold), or (iii) becoming a CEO, director, associate director or shadow director.

SOUTH AFRICA

Terms and Conditions

Tax Consequences. The following provision supplements Section 8 of the Agreement:
By accepting the Option, Participant agrees that, immediately upon exercise of the Option, Participant will notify the Employer of the amount of any gain realized. If Participant fails to advise the Employer of the gain realized upon exercise, Participant may be liable for a fine. Participant will be solely responsible for paying any difference between the actual tax liability and the amount withheld by the Employer.

Notifications

Tax Clearance Certificate Requirement. If Participant uses cash to exercise the Option, rather than a cashless exercise method, Participant must first obtain and provide to the Employer, or any third party designated by the Employer or the Company, a Tax Clearance Certificate (with respect to Foreign Investments) bearing the official stamp and signature of the Exchange Control Department of the South African Revenue Service (“SARS”). Participant must renew this Tax Clearance Certificate every 12 months, or such other period as may be required by the SARS. Participant must also complete a transfer of funds application form to transfer the funds. If Participant exercises the Option by a cashless exercise whereby no funds are remitted offshore for the purchase of Shares, no Tax Clearance Certificate is required.





Exchange Control Information. To participate in the Plan, Participant must comply with exchange control regulations and rulings in South Africa. Because the exchange control regulations are subject to change, Participant should consult Participant’s personal legal advisor prior to exercising the Option to ensure compliance with current regulations. Participant is responsible for ensuring compliance with all exchange control laws in South Africa.

Securities Law Information. The grant of the Options and the Shares issued pursuant to the exercise of the Option are considered a small offering under Section 96 of the South Africa Companies Act, 2008 (Act No. 71 of 2008).

SWITZERLAND

UNITED KINGDOM

Terms and Conditions

The following terms and conditions apply only if Participant is an Employee. No grants under this Agreement shall be made to Consultants or Directors resident in the United Kingdom.

Responsibility for Taxes. The following provisions supplement Section 8(a) of the Agreement:

Without limitation to Section 8(a) of the Agreement, Participant agrees that Participant is liable for all Tax-Related Items and hereby covenants to pay all such Tax-Related Items, as and when requested by the Company or, if different, the Employer or by Her Majesty’s Revenue & Customs (“HRMC”) (or any other tax authority or any other relevant authority). Participant also agrees to indemnify and keep indemnified the Company and, if different, the Employer against any Tax-Related Items that they are required to pay or withhold or have paid or will pay to HMRC (or any other tax authority or any other relevant authority) on Participant’s behalf.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Participant is a director or executive officer of the Company (within the meaning of Section 13(k) of the Exchange Act), Participant understands that Participant may not be able to indemnify the Company for the amount of any income tax not collected from or paid by Participant within ninety (90) days of the end of the U.K. tax year in which the event giving rise to the Tax-Related Items occurs as it may be considered to be a loan and therefore, it may constitute a benefit to Participant on which additional income tax and National Insurance contributions (“NICs”) may be payable. Participant understands that Participant will be responsible for reporting and paying any income tax due on this additional benefit directly to HMRC under the self-assessment regime and for paying to the Company and/or the Employer (as appropriate) the amount of any NICs (including Employer NICs, as defined below) due on this additional benefit, which may also be recovered from Participant by any of the means referred to in Section 8(a) of the Agreement.






National Insurance Contributions Acknowledgment. As a condition of participation in the Plan and the exercise of the Option, Participant agrees to accept any liability for secondary Class 1 NICs which may be payable by the Company and/or the Employer in connection with the Option and any event giving rise to Tax-Related Items (the “Employer NICs”). Without limitation to the foregoing, Participant agrees to execute a joint election with the Company, the form of such joint election being formally approved by HMRC (the “Joint Election”), and any other required consent or election. Participant further agrees to execute such other joint elections as may be required between Participant and any successor to the Company and/or the Employer. Participant further agrees that the Company and/or the Employer may collect the Employer NICs from Participant by any of the means set forth in Section 8(a) of the Agreement.

If Participant does not enter into a Joint Election prior to exercising the Option or if approval of the Joint Election has been withdrawn by HMRC, the Option shall become null and void without any liability to the Company and/or the Employer and may not be exercised by Participant.







SPECIAL NOTICE FOR EMPLOYEES IN DENMARK

This statement contains only the information mentioned in the Stock Option Act, while the other terms and conditions of your grant of Options to purchase shares of the common stock of ServiceNow, Inc. (the “Company”) are described in detail in the Plan, the Notice of Global Stock Option Grant (the “Notice”), the Global Stock Option Award Agreement (the “Agreement”) and the applicable country-specific supplement, which have been made available to you.

1.    Date of grant of stock options

The grant date of your Option is the date that the Company approved a grant for you, which is set forth in the Notice.

2.
Terms or conditions for grant of stock options

Only persons identified in Section 3 of the Plan are eligible to participate in the Plan. The grant of stock options under the Plan is offered at the sole discretion of the Company and is intended to achieve the purposes identified in Section 1 of the Plan, including (among other things) encouraging stock ownership in the Company by employees of the Company and any parents and subsidiaries that exist now or in the future. The Company may decide, in its sole discretion, not to make any grants of stock options to you in the future. Under the terms of the Plan, the Agreement and the applicable country-specific supplement, you have no entitlement or claim to receive future grants of stock options or awards in lieu of stock options.

3.
Exercise Date

Your stock option shall vest and become exercisable over a period of time (“vesting period”), provided you remain employed by or in the service of the Company or a subsidiary or parent on each of the vesting dates set forth in the Notice, unless the stock option vests or is terminated earlier for the reasons set forth in the Plan or Agreement and subject to Section 5 of this statement. Your vested stock options are exercisable any time after vesting and before the stock option is terminated or expires (“exercise period”).

4.
Exercise Price

During the exercise period, the stock options can be exercised to purchase common stock in the Company at a price per share not less than the fair market value of the stock on the date the stock option is granted, as determined in accordance with the Plan, and which is set forth in the Agreement.

5.
Your rights upon termination of employment

The vesting of the Options is earned only by continuing service as an employee, director or consultant of the Company or a subsidiary.

6.
Financial aspects of participating in the Plan

The grant of stock options has no immediate financial consequences for you. The value of the stock options is not taken into account when calculating holiday allowances, pension contributions or other statutory consideration calculated on the basis of salary.

Shares of stock are financial instruments and investing in stock will always have financial risk. The possibility of gain at the time of exercise will not only be dependent on the Company’s financial development, but also on the general development of the stock market. In addition, before or after you exercise your stock options, the shares of Company stock could decrease in value even below the exercise price.

SÆRLIG MEDDELELSE TIL MEDARBEJDERE I DANMARK
ARBEJDSGIVERERKLÆRING

I henhold til § 3, stk. 1, i lov om brug af køberet eller tegningsret m.v. i ansættelsesforhold som ændret pr. 1. januar 2019 (“Aktieoptionsloven”) er du berettiget til i en særskilt skriftlig erklæring at modtage følgende oplysninger om deltagelse i ServiceNow, Inc.’s incitamentsordning - 2012 Equity Incentive Plan (“Planen”).

Denne erklæring indeholder kun de oplysninger, der er nævnt i Aktieoptionsloven, mens de øvrige vilkår og betingelser for din tildeling af aktieoptioner til køb af ordinære aktier i ServiceNow, Inc. (“Selskabet”) er nærmere beskrevet i Planen, Notice of Global Stock Option Grant (“Meddelelsen”), Global Stock Option Award Agreement (“Aftalen”) og det gældende landespecifikke tillæg, som du har modtaget.

1.
Tildelingstidspunkt

Tidspunktet for tildeling af aktieoptioner er den dato, hvor Selskabet godkendte din tildeling som anført i Meddelelsen.

2.
Kriterier og betingelser for tildelingen af aktieoptioner

Kun de i Planens pkt. 3 anførte personer kan deltage i Planen. Tildelingen af aktieoptioner i henhold til Planen sker efter Selskabets eget skøn med henblik på at gennemføre de i Planens pkt. 1 anførte formål, herunder bl.a. at tilskynde medarbejdere i Selskabet samt dets nuværende og fremtidige datterselskaber og moderselskab til at eje aktier i Selskabet. Selskabet kan frit vælge ikke at tildele dig aktieoptioner fremover. I henhold til Planen, Aftalen og det gældende landespecifikke tillæg har du ikke nogen ret til eller noget krav på fremover at få tildelt aktieoptioner eller modtage øvrige tildelinger i stedet for aktieoptioner.

3.
Udnyttelsestidspunkt

Dine aktieoptioner modnes og vil kunne udnyttes over en periode (“modningsperioden”), forudsat at du fortsat er ansat i eller arbejder for Selskabet, et datterselskab eller moderselskab på hver af de modningsdatoer, som er angivet i Meddelelsen, medmindre aktieoptionen modner eller bortfalder på et tidligere tidspunkt af de i Planen eller Aftalen anførte årsager, og med forbehold for pkt. 5 i denne erklæring. Dine modnede aktieoptioner kan udnyttes til enhver tid fra modningstidspunktet indtil optionernes udløb eller ophør (udnyttelsesperiode).

4.
Udnyttelseskurs

I udnyttelsesperioden kan aktieoptionerne udnyttes til køb af ordinære aktier i Selskabet til en kurs pr. aktie, som ikke er lavere end aktiernes markedskurs på tildelingstidspunktet som fastsat i henhold til Planen og angivet i Aftalen.

5.
Din retsstilling i forbindelse med fratræden

Modningen af dine Optioner optjenes alene ved fortsat tjeneste som medarbejder, direktør eller konsulent hos Selskabet eller et datterselskab. Bortset fra det nedenfor angivne, og i overensstemmelse med Planen, kan Optionen udnyttes i 90 dage efter din fratræden. Optionen kan dog i intet tilfælde udnyttes senere end udløbsdatoen angivet i Meddelelsen.






Død; Invaliditet; Medmindre andet fremgår af Meddelelsen, kan Optionen, i tilfælde af din fratræden som følge af død, eller i tilfælde af at du dør inden 90 dage efter din fratræden, udnyttes i tolv måneder, forudsat at Optionen i intet tilfælde udnyttes senere end udløbsdatoen angivet i Meddelelsen. Medmindre andet fremgår af Meddelelsen vil Optionen, i tilfælde af din fratræden som følge af invaliditet, kunne udnyttes i seks måneder, forudsat at Optionen i intet tilfælde udnyttes senere end udløbsdatoen angivet i Meddelelsen.

Cause: I tilfælde af din fratræden som følge af Cause (som defineret i Planen), vil Optionen udløbe på datoen for din fratræden.

6.
Økonomiske aspekter ved at deltage i Planen

Tildelingen af aktieoptioner har ingen umiddelbare økonomiske konsekvenser for dig. Værdien af aktieoptionerne indgår ikke i beregningen af feriepenge, pensionsbidrag eller øvrige lovpligtige, vederlagsafhængige ydelser.

Aktier er finansielle instrumenter, og investering i aktier vil altid være forbundet med en økonomisk risiko. Således afhænger gevinstmuligheden på udnyttelsestidspunktet ikke kun af Selskabets økonomiske udvikling, men også af den generelle udvikling på aktiemarkedet. Derudover kan Selskabets aktier både før og efter udnyttelsestidspunktet falde til en værdi, der måske endda ligger under udnyttelseskursen.

This Election does not apply in relation to any liability, or any part of any liability, arising as a result of regulations being given retrospective effect by virtue of section 4B(2) of either the SSCBA, or the Social Security Contributions and Benefits (Northern Ireland) Act 1992.

This Election does not apply to the extent that it relates to relevant employment income which is employment income of the earner by virtue of Chapter 3A of Part VII of ITEPA (employment income: securities with artificially depressed market value).

(2)The Election

The Employee and the Company jointly elect that the entire liability of the Employer to pay the Employer’s Liability on the Chargeable Event is hereby transferred to the Employee. The Employee understands that, by signing or electronically accepting this Election, he or she will become personally liable for the Employer’s Liability covered by this Election. This Election is made in accordance with paragraph 3B(1) of Schedule 1 of the SSCBA.

(3)Payment of the Employer’s Liability

The Employee hereby authorises the Company and/or the Employer to collect the Employer’s Liability from the Employee at any time after the Chargeable Event:

by deduction from salary or any other payment payable to the Employee at any time on or after the date of the Chargeable Event; and/or

directly from the Employee by payment in cash or cleared funds; and/or

by arranging, on behalf of the Employee, for the sale of some of the securities which the Employee is entitled to receive in respect of the Options, the proceeds of which must be delivered to the Employer in sufficient time for payment to be made to HMRC by the due date; and/or

where the proceeds of the gain are to be made through a third party, the Employee will authorize that party to withhold an amount from the payment or to sell some of the securities which the Employee is entitled to receive in respect of the Options, such amount to be paid in sufficient time to enable the Company to make payment to HMRC by the due date; and/or

through any other method as set forth in the applicable Option agreements entered into between the Employee and the Company.

The Company hereby reserves for itself and the Employer the right to withhold the transfer of any securities to the Employee in respect of the Options until full payment of the Employer’s Liability is received.
