sricnw-, SUBSCRIPTION SERVICE GU DE UPGRADE POLICY 1. UPGRADES EFFECTIVE DATE: NOVEMBER 12, 2014 "Upgrades" are ServiceNow's releases of the Subscription Service for repairs, enhancements or new features applied by ServiceNow to Customer's instances of the Subscription Service at no additional fee during the Subscription Term. ServiceNow has the discretion to provide new functionality as an Upgrade or as different software or service for a separate fee. ServiceNow determines whether and when to develop, release and apply any Upgrade to Customer's instances of the Subscription Service. 2. NOTICE; MAINTENANCE DOWNTIME ServiceNow shall use reasonable efforts to give Customer thirty (30) days prior notice of any Upgrade to the Subscription Service. ServiceNow shall use reasonable efforts to give Customer ten (10) days prior notice of any Upgrade to the cloud infrastructure network, hardware, or software used by ServiceNow to operate and deliver the Subscription Service if ServiceNow in its reasonable judgment believes that the infrastructure Upgrade will impact Customer's use of its production instances of the Subscription Service. ServiceNow will use commercially reasonable efforts to limit the period of time during which the Subscription Service is unavailable due to the application of Upgrades to no more than two (2) hours per month. Notwithstanding the foregoing, ServiceNow may provide Customer with a shorter or no notice period of an Upgrade if necessary, in the reasonable judgment of ServiceNow, to maintain the availability, security or performance of the Subscription Service or the ability of ServiceNow to efficiently provide the Subscription Service. 3. NOMENCLATURE A pending Upgrade may be a "Feature Release", "Patch" or "Hotfix." A "Feature Release" is an Upgrade that includes new features or enhancements. A "Patch" or a "Hotfix' is an Upgrade to a Feature Release that maintains the functionality of the Feature Release and does not include new functionality. ServiceNow refers to each Feature Release and its associated Patches and Hotfixes as a "Release Family." For example, ServiceNow's Feature Release "Aspen" established the "Aspen" Release Family, and ServiceNow's subsequent Feature Release "Berlin" established the "Berlin" Release Family. 4. PINNING REQUESTS Customer may submit a support request for "no Upgrade" not fewer than five (5) business days' prior to a pending Upgrade of the Subscription Service. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Upgrade Policy, Customer's "no Upgrade" request shall be granted, and the Upgrade shall not be applied to Customer's instances of the Subscription Service. 5. SUPPORTED AND NON -SUPPORTED RELEASE FAMILIES ServiceNow offers support for the then current Release Family and the prior two (2) Release Families ("Supported Release Families") as set forth in the Customer Support Policy. A Customer using a Supported Release Family may be required to Upgrade to a Patch or Hotfix within the Supported Release Family to correct a defect. At its discretion, ServiceNow may offer limited support for additional Release Families ("Non -Supported Release Families"). Without limiting ServiceNow's discretion to determine the availability of support for Non - Supported Release Families, a Customer using a Non -Supported Release Family may be required to Upgrade to a Supported Release Family to correct a defect. Any service level agreements, recovery time objectives or recovery point objectives are not applicable to Non -Supported Release Families. Details of ServiceNow support are further set forth in the Customer Support Policy. Customer acknowledges that the current Release Family is the most current feature, availability, performance and security version of the Subscription Service. Within a Supported Release Family, the most recent Patch contains the most current feature, availability, performance and security version of the Subscription Service for that Release Family. A Customer that has submitted a "no Upgrade" request may experience defects, for which Customer hereby agrees that ServiceNow is not responsible, including without limitation those that affect the features, availability, performance and security of the Subscription Service, that are fixed in the most SERVICENOw CONFIDENTIAL Page 5 (version 11/12/2014)
