Notwithstanding the restrictions set forth in the second paragraph of Section 1.5(a) of this First Supplemental Indenture, the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries will be permitted to incur indebtedness secured by Liens which would otherwise be subject to the foregoing restrictions without equally and ratably securing the Notes, provided that, after giving effect to such indebtedness, the aggregate amount of all indebtedness secured by Liens (not including Liens permitted under clauses (1) through (14) above), together with all Attributable Debt outstanding pursuant to second paragraph of Section 1.5(b) of this First Supplemental Indenture, does not exceed 15% of the Consolidated Net Tangible Assets of the Company calculated as of the date of the creation or incurrence of the Lien. The Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries also may, without equally and ratably securing the Notes, create or incur Liens that extend, renew, substitute or replace (including successive extensions, renewals, substitutions or replacements), in whole or in part, any Lien permitted pursuant to the preceding sentence.

(b) Limitation on Sale and Leaseback Transactions

The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, enter into any Sale and Leaseback Transaction for the sale and leasing back of any Principal Property, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, unless:

(2) such transaction was for the sale and leasing back to the Company or any of its wholly owned Subsidiaries of any Principal Property by one of its Restricted Subsidiaries;

(3) such transaction involves a lease for not more than three years (or which may be terminated by the Company or its Subsidiaries within a period of not more than three years);

(4) the Company would be entitled to incur indebtedness secured by a Lien with respect to such Sale and Leaseback Transaction without equally and ratably securing the Notes pursuant to the second paragraph of Section 1.5(a) of this First Supplemental Indenture; or

(5) The Company or any Restricted Subsidiary applies an amount equal to the net proceeds from the sale of such Principal Property to the purchase of other property or assets used or useful in its business (including the purchase or development of other Principal Property) or to the retirement of indebtedness that is pari passu with the Notes (including the Notes) within 365 days before or after the effective date of any such Sale and Leaseback Transaction, provided that, in lieu of applying such amount to the retirement of pari passu indebtedness, the Company may deliver Notes to the trustee for cancellation, such Notes to be credited at the cost thereof to it.

Notwithstanding the restrictions set forth in Section 1.5(b) of this First Supplemental Indenture, the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries may enter into any Sale and Leaseback Transaction which would otherwise be subject to the restrictions in the first paragraph of Section 1.5(b) of this First Supplemental Indenture, if after giving effect thereto the aggregate amount of all Attributable Debt with respect to such transactions, together with all indebtedness outstanding pursuant to the third paragraph of Section 1.5(a) of this First Supplemental Indenture, does not exceed 15% of the Consolidated Net Tangible Assets of the Company calculated as of the closing date of the Sale and Leaseback Transaction.

No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereto. In case an Event of Default specified in Section 1.6(e) or (f) with respect to the Company occurs, such principal amount with respect to the Notes shall be due and payable immediately without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder of the Notes.

Section 1.8 Modifications.

SERVICENOW, INC.

1.400% Notes due 2030

This security is one of a duly authorized series of debt securities of ServiceNow, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), issued or to be issued in one or more series under and pursuant to an Indenture for the Company’s senior debt securities, dated as of August 11, 2020 (the “Base Indenture”), duly executed and delivered by and among the Company and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (the “Trustee”), as supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of August 11, 2020 (the “First Supplemental Indenture”), by and between the Company and the Trustee. The Base Indenture as supplemented and amended by the First Supplemental Indenture is referred to herein as the “Indenture.” By the terms of the Base Indenture, the debt securities issuable thereunder are issuable in series that may vary as to amount, date of maturity, rate of interest and in other respects as provided in the Base Indenture. This security is one of the series designated on the face hereof (individually, a “Security,” and collectively, the “Securities”), and reference is hereby made to the Indenture for a description of the rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities of the Trustee, the Company and the holders of the Securities (the “Securityholders”). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings given them in the Base Indenture or the First Supplemental Indenture, as applicable.

1. Interest. The Company promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Security at an annual rate of 1.400%. The Company will pay interest semi-annually on March 1 and September 1 of each year (each such day, an “Interest Payment Date”). If any Interest Payment Date, redemption date or maturity date of this Security is not a Business Day, then payment of interest or principal (and premium, if any) shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the date such payment was due, and no interest shall accrue for the period after such date to the date of such payment on the next succeeding Business Day. Interest on the Securities will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for or, if no interest has been paid, from the date of issuance; provided that, if there is no existing Default in the payment of interest, and if this Security is authenticated between a regular record date referred to on the face hereof and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, interest shall accrue from such next succeeding Interest Payment Date; and provided, further, that the first Interest Payment Date shall be March 1, 2021. Interest will be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. All dollar amounts resulting from this calculation shall be rounded to the nearest cent.

2. Method of Payment. The Company will pay interest on the Securities (except defaulted interest), if any, to the Persons in whose name such Securities are registered at the close of business on the regular record date referred to on the facing page of this Security for such interest installment. In the event that the Securities or a portion thereof are called for redemption or there is a Change of Control Notice, and the Optional Redemption Date or the Change of Control Payment Date, as applicable, is subsequent to a regular record date with respect to any Interest Payment Date and prior to such Interest Payment Date, interest on such Securities will instead be paid upon presentation and surrender of such Securities as provided in the Indenture.

A-4

The principal of and the interest on the Securities shall be payable in the coin or currency of the United States of America that at the time is legal tender for public and private debt, at the office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose in accordance with the Indenture. If any of the Notes are no longer represented by a Global Security, payment of interest on certificated notes in definitive form may, at the option of Company, be made by (i) check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the register for the Securities maintained by the Registrar, or (ii) upon request of any Holder of at least $2,000,000 principal amount of Securities, wire transfer to an account located in the United States maintained by the payee.

3. Paying Agent and Registrar. Initially, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, the Trustee, will act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Company may change or appoint any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Securityholder. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act in any such capacity.

4. Indenture. The terms of the Securities include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (“TIA”) as in effect on the date the Indenture is qualified. The Securities are subject to all such terms, and Securityholders are referred to the Indenture and TIA for a statement of such terms. The Securities are unsecured general obligations of the Company and constitute the series designated on the face hereof as the “1.400% Notes due 2030”, initially limited to $1,500,000,000 in aggregate principal amount. The Company will furnish to any Securityholder upon written request and without charge a copy of the Base Indenture and the First Supplemental Indenture. Requests may be made to: ServiceNow, Inc., 2225 Lawson Lane Santa Clara, California 95054, Attention: General Counsel.

5. Redemption. The Securities may be redeemed at the option of the Company prior to the Stated Maturity, as provided in Section 1.3 of the First Supplemental Indenture.

The Company shall not be required to make sinking fund payments with respect to the Securities.

6. Change of Control Repurchase Event. Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Repurchase Event, unless the Company has exercised its right to redeem this Security or the Company has defeased this Security or satisfied and discharged this Security, the holder of this Security will have the right to require that the Company purchase all or a portion, (such principal amount to be equal to $2,000 or any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess of $2,000), of this Security at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the amount to be repurchased to, but excluding, the date of purchase. Within 30 days following any Change of Control Repurchase Event, the Company shall deliver a notice to each Holder, in accordance with Section 1.4 of the First Supplemental Indenture, with a copy to the Trustee, which notice shall govern the terms of the Change of Control Right.

7. Denominations, Transfer, Exchange. The Securities are in registered form without coupons in the denominations of $2,000 or any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. The transfer of Securities may be registered and Securities may be exchanged as provided in the Indenture. Every Security presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange shall (if so required by the Company or the Registrar or a co-registrar) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company. No service charge will be made for any

A-5

registration of transfer or exchange, but a Securityholder may be required to pay any applicable taxes or other governmental charges. If the Securities are to be redeemed, the Company will not be required to: (i) register transfers of any Securities, or to exchange Securities of any Series, for a period of 15 days before the record date for selection for redemption of such Securities; nor (ii) exchange or register transfers of any Securities called or being called for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of such Security being redeemed in part.

8. Persons Deemed Owners. The registered Securityholder may be treated as its owner for all purposes.

9. Repayment to the Company. Subject to all applicable escheatment laws, any funds or U.S. Government Obligations or Foreign Government Obligations deposited with any Paying Agent or the Trustee, or then held by the Company, in trust for payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Securities of a particular series that are not applied but remain unclaimed by the Holders of such Securities for at least two years after the date upon which the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on such Securities shall have respectively become due and payable, shall, upon request of the Company, be repaid to the Company, or (if then held by the Company) shall be discharged from such trust, and all liability of the Trustee shall thereupon cease. After return to the Company, Holders entitled to the money or securities must look to the Company, as applicable, for payment as unsecured general creditors.

10. Amendments, Supplements and Waivers. The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series to be affected under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time outstanding of each series to be affected. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities of each series at the time outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of each series, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture or the Securities of such series. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security.

11. Defaults and Remedies. If an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of a series issued pursuant to the First Supplemental Indenture occurs and is continuing (other than certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Company), the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of such series then outstanding, by notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if notice is given by such Holders), may declare the unpaid principal of, premium, if any, and accrued interest, if any, due and payable immediately. In the case of certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Company, the principal and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all outstanding Securities will become and be immediately due and payable. Subject to the terms of the Indenture, if an Event of Default under the Indenture shall occur and be continuing, the Trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under the Indenture at the request or direction of any

A-6

of the Holders, unless such Holders have offered the Trustee indemnity satisfactory to it. Upon satisfaction of certain conditions set forth in the Indenture, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of a series issued pursuant to the First Supplemental Indenture will have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee, with respect to the Securities of such series.

12. Trustee, Registrar and Agents May Hold Securities. Subject to certain limitations imposed by the TIA, the Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Securities, and may make loans to, accept deposits from, perform services for or otherwise deal with the Company, or any Affiliate thereof, with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. Any Agent may do the same with like rights.

13. No Recourse Against Others. A director, officer, employee, stockholder or incorporator, as such, of the Company shall not have any liability for any obligations of the Company under the Securities or the Indenture. Each Securityholder by accepting a Security waives and releases all such liability. Such waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issuance of the Securities.

14. Discharge of Indenture. The Indenture contains certain provisions pertaining to discharge and defeasance, which provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as if set forth herein.

15. Authentication. This Security shall not be valid until the Trustee manually signs the certificate of authentication attached to the other side of this Security.
