Exhibit 10.3

PALO ALTO NETWORKS, INC.
CONTINUED SERVICE POLICY

The purpose of this Continued Service Policy (the “Policy”) is to set forth certain terms under which the Company may provide the opportunity for certain vesting benefits to employees of Palo Alto Networks, Inc. (the “Company”), who hold a title at or above Senior Vice President (each, an “Eligible Employee”), upon a Qualifying Event (as defined below). This Policy is effective as of date it is adopted by the Compensation and People Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Committee”) and will remain in effect until terminated by the Administrator. For purposes of this Policy, the “Administrator” is the Committee or the Company’s Board of Directors.
1.Benefits.  
a.If an Eligible Employee voluntary resigns from full-time employment (including, without limitation, by transitioning employment to an advisory role, whether as an employee or independent contractor) with the Company after he or she (i) has attained the age of 55 years and has been continuously employed by the Company as a full-time employee for at least 5 years as of the date of such resignation or transition, or (ii) has been continuously employed by the Company as a full-time employee for at least 10 years as of the date of such resignation or transition (including time spent continually employed as a full-time employee by a subsidiary of the Company for only the period of time that such subsidiary was wholly owned, directly or indirectly, by the Company), such event a “Qualifying Event,” then such Eligible Employee may be eligible to continue vesting in his or her equity awards. 
b.Any continued vesting of equity awards will be contingent on:
i.The Administrator of this Policy, after taking into account the recommendations of the Company’s management, authorizing the continued vesting of equity awards held by such Eligible Employee and any conditions related thereto. 
ii.Such Eligible Employee entering into an advisor agreement, consulting agreement, or other continued service agreement with the Company in a form approved by the Administrator (an “Continued Service Agreement”). Each Continued Service Agreement will also include any other conditions or requirements as may be determined by the Administrator in its discretion for such Continued Service Agreement, including, without limitation:
A.that any rights of the Eligible Employee under a Continued Service Agreement shall be subject to such individual’s continuous full-time employment with the Company through the Qualifying Event; 
B.that the Eligible Employee’s rights, payments, and benefits with respect to his or her equity awards will be subject to clawback, reduction, cancellation, forfeiture, recoupment, reimbursement, or reacquisition upon the Eligible Employee’s breach of the Continued Service Agreement; and/or
C.the acceleration of the vesting of Eligible Employee’s equity awards under specific circumstances.
iii.Such Eligible Employee providing services on a continuous basis under, and in compliance with, the terms of the Continued Service Agreement.

c.The Administrator may authorize the continued vesting of equity awards pursuant to the Policy at any time and from time to time, including prior to any Eligible Employee’s Qualifying Event, in each case subject to the occurrence of a Qualifying Event and the terms of a Continued Service Agreement.
d.The Administrator will not be obligated to (i) include any such clawback or vesting acceleration provisions in any Continued Service Agreement (however, any clawback provisions that were otherwise applicable to an Eligible Employee will continue to apply without modification) or (ii) provide the same terms and conditions in each Continued Service Agreement.
2.No Guarantee of Continued Service.  
a.This Policy is not an express or implied promise of continued engagement as a service provider for any period, or at all, and will not interfere in any way with the right of the Company (or the parent or subsidiary of the Company employing or retaining the Eligible Employee) to terminate any Eligible Employee’s relationship as a service provider at any time, with or without cause.
b.The Administrator has the sole discretion to determine which Eligible Employees are offered the opportunity to enter into an Continued Service Agreement before or after a Qualifying Event. If the Administrator does not offer an Eligible Employee the opportunity to enter into an Continued Service Agreement, the Eligible Employee will not have the opportunity to continue vesting in his or her equity awards following his or her Qualifying Event, unless otherwise expressly approved by the Committee.
3.Amendment and Termination of this Policy. The Administrator, at any time, may amend, alter, suspend or terminate this Policy in its discretion, without the prior consent of any Eligible Employees.
4.Choice of Law. This Policy and all determinations made and actions taken under this Policy, to the extent not otherwise governed by the laws of the United States, will be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to principles of conflicts of law.

The Treasury
Rate shall be determined by the Company after 4:15 p.m., New York City time (or after such time as yields on U.S. government securities
are posted daily by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), on the third Business Day preceding the Redemption
Date based upon the yield or yields for the most recent day that appear after such time on such day in the most recent statistical
release published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System designated as “Selected Interest Rates (Daily)
- H.15” (or any successor designation or publication) (“H.15”) under the caption “U.S. government
securities–Treasury constant maturities–Nominal” (or any successor caption or heading) (“H.15 TCM”).
In determining the Treasury Rate, the Company shall select, as applicable: (1) the yield for the Treasury constant maturity on
H.15 exactly equal to the period from the Redemption Date to the Par Call Date (the “Remaining Life”); or (2)
if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the Remaining Life, the two yields – one yield corresponding
to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately shorter than and one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity
on H.15 immediately longer than the Remaining Life – and shall interpolate to the Par Call Date on a straight-line basis
(using the actual number of days) using such yields and rounding the result to three decimal places; or (3) if there is no such
Treasury constant maturity on H.15 shorter than or longer than the Remaining Life, the yield for the single Treasury constant
maturity on H.15 closest to the Remaining Life. For purposes of this paragraph, the applicable Treasury constant maturity or maturities
on H.15 shall be deemed to have a maturity date equal to the relevant number of months or years, as applicable, of such Treasury
constant maturity from the Redemption Date.

If on
the third Business Day preceding the Redemption Date H.15 TCM is no longer published, the Company shall calculate the Treasury
Rate based on the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the
second Business Day preceding such Redemption Date of the United States Treasury security maturing on, or with a maturity that
is closest to, the Par Call Date, as applicable. If there is no United States Treasury security maturing on the Par Call Date
but there are two or more United States Treasury securities with a maturity date equally distant from the Par Call Date, one with
a maturity date preceding the Par Call Date and one with a maturity date following the Par Call Date, the Company shall select
the United States Treasury security with a maturity date preceding the Par Call Date. If there are two or more United States Treasury
securities maturing on the Par Call Date or two or more United States Treasury securities meeting the criteria of the preceding
sentence, the Company shall select from among these two or more United States Treasury securities the United States Treasury security
that is trading closest to par based upon the average of the bid and asked prices for such United States Treasury securities at
11:00 a.m., New York City time. In determining the Treasury Rate in accordance with the terms of this paragraph, the semi-annual
yield to maturity of the applicable United States Treasury security shall be based upon the average of the bid and asked prices
(expressed as a percentage of principal amount) at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, of such United States Treasury security, and
rounded to three decimal places.

“Trustee”
means the party named in the preamble hereof until a successor replaces such party in accordance with the applicable provisions
of the Indenture and thereafter means the successor serving hereunder.

aggregate initial principal amount to $500,000,000, which amount shall be as set forth in any written order of the Company for
authentication and delivery of Notes pursuant to Section 3.03 of the Base Indenture. The Company may, from time to time,
without the consent of the Holders of Notes, create and issue additional Notes (“Additional Notes”) ranking
equally with the Notes in all respects so that such Additional Notes shall form a single series with the Notes and shall have
the same terms as the Notes, except for the public offering price, the issue date and, if applicable, the payment of interest
accruing prior to the issue date of such Additional Notes and the first payment of interest following the issue date of such Additional
Notes; provided that (i) if the Additional Notes are not fungible with the Outstanding Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes,
the Additional Notes will have one or more separate CUSIP numbers and (ii) no Additional Notes may be issued if an Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing with respect to the Notes.

(b)           The Indenture shall not limit the total aggregate principal amount of Additional Notes that the Company may issue hereunder.

Section
2.02.          Form of the Notes; Global

(a)            The
Notes will initially be issued only in full registered form without coupons. The Notes shall be issued in whole or in part in

insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as are required or permitted by the Indenture, and may have such letters,
numbers or other marks of identification and such legends or endorsements placed thereon as may be required to comply with the
rules of any securities exchange on which the Notes may be listed or as may, consistently herewith, be determined by the officers
of the Company executing the Notes, as evidenced by their execution of the Notes.

(b)           Each
Global Security shall initially be deposited with, or on behalf of, The Depository Trust Company, as the initial Depositary, and
registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of the Depositary. For so long as The Depository Trust Company serves as
the Depositary with respect to any such Global Securities, such Global Securities authenticated and delivered hereunder shall
bear a legend in substantially the following form:

UNLESS THIS NOTE IS
PRESENTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF THE DEPOSITARY TO THE COMPANY OR ITS AGENT FOR REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER, EXCHANGE
OR PAYMENT, AND ANY NOTE ISSUED IS REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF CEDE & CO. OR IN SUCH OTHER NAME AS REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED
REPRESENTATIVE OF THE DEPOSITARY (AND ANY PAYMENT IS MADE TO CEDE & CO. OR TO SUCH OTHER ENTITY AS IS REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED
REPRESENTATIVE OF THE DEPOSITARY), ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL
INASMUCH AS THE REGISTERED OWNER HEREOF, CEDE & CO., HAS AN INTEREST HEREIN.

2.04.         Stated Maturity; Interest
Rates; Regular Record Date.

(a)            The Stated Maturity of the Notes shall be May 1, 2052 (the “Maturity Date”).

(b)            The
Notes shall bear interest at the rate of 5.300% per annum, computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. Interest
on the Notes will be payable semi-annually in arrears on May 1 and November 1 of each year, beginning on November 1, 2022 (each,
an “Interest Payment Date”) to the Person in whose name the Note is registered at the close of business on
the immediately preceding April 15 and October 15, respectively (each, a “Regular Record Date”). Interest on
the Notes will accrue from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, or if no
interest has been paid from May 20, 2022 to but excluding the Interest Payment Date or other date of payment for which accrued
interest is paid, until the principal hereof is paid or made available for payment.

(c)            Anything
in the Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, if any Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or Maturity of the Notes is not
a Business Day at any Place of Payment, then payment of the principal, premium, if any, and interest may be made on the next Business
Day at that Place of Payment. In that case, no interest will accrue on the amount payable on the Notes for the period from and
after the applicable Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or Maturity, as the case may be, to the date of such payment on the
next Business Day.

Section
2.05.          No Sinking Fund; Not Redeemable
at Option of Holders. (a) The Notes will not be subject to a sinking fund and the provisions of Article XII of the

in the open market or by private agreement, subject to applicable law.

Section
2.09.          Other Terms of the Notes.
The other terms of the Notes shall be as expressly set forth herein and in Exhibit A.

OPTIONAL REDEMPTION BY THE COMPANY

The provisions
of Article XI of the Base Indenture, as amended by the provisions of this Supplemental Indenture, shall apply to the Notes
with respect to this Article 3.

Section
3.01.          Optional Redemption.

(a)            Prior to the Par Call Date, the Company may at its option redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, at any time or from time
to time, at a Redemption Price equal to the greater of the following amounts, plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest
thereon, if any, to, but excluding, the Redemption Date therefor:

(i)             100%
of the aggregate principal amount of such Notes being redeemed on such Redemption Date; and

(ii)            the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on such Notes being redeemed
that would be due if the Notes to be redeemed matured on the Par Call Date (not including any portion of such payments of interest
accrued to such Redemption Date) discounted to such Redemption Date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting
of twelve 30-day months) at the applicable Treasury Rate plus the Spread for the Notes to be redeemed.

(b)           On and after the Par Call Date, the Company may at its option redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, at any time and from
time to time, at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount of such Notes being redeemed, plus
accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to, but excluding, the Redemption Date therefor.

(c)            If
the Company redeems the Notes at its option, then (a) notwithstanding the foregoing (and without duplication), installments of
interest on the Notes that are due and payable on any Interest Payment Date falling on or prior to the Redemption Date for the
Notes will be payable on that Interest Payment Date to the Holders thereof as of the close of business on the Regular Record Date
immediately preceding such Interest Payment Date, according to the terms of the Notes and the Indenture and (b) the Redemption
Price for such Notes will, if applicable, be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.

(d)           The Company’s actions and determinations in determining the Redemption Price shall be conclusive and binding for
all purposes, absent manifest error.

    	7

    	 

    

Section
3.02.         Notice of Optional Redemption;
Deposit of Redemption Price. 

(a)           If
the Company elects to redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, at its option pursuant to Section 3.01, the Company (or, at
the Company’s request, the Trustee on behalf of the Company) shall transmit notice of such redemption at least 10 days but
not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date for such redemption to each registered Holder of the Notes. Such notice of redemption
shall specify the aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed (or, if the Notes are to be redeemed in whole, that the
Notes are to be redeemed in whole), the CUSIP and ISIN numbers of the Notes to be redeemed, the date fixed as the Redemption Date
for such redemption, the Redemption Price for such Notes to be redeemed (or if not then ascertainable, the manner of calculation
thereof), any conditions applicable to such redemption, the place or places of payment and that payment will be made upon presentation
and surrender of such Notes. In addition, if any conditions are applicable to such redemption, such notice of redemption shall
state that the Company may delay the Redemption Date for such redemption until such time as any or all such conditions shall be
satisfied, and may rescind any related notice of redemption, in which case such redemption shall not occur, in the event that
any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied by the date fixed as the Redemption Date or, if applicable, by the Redemption
Date so delayed.

(b)           Once notice of redemption is sent to Holders, Notes called for redemption will, subject to satisfaction of the conditions,
if any, set forth in such notice of redemption, become due and payable on the Redemption Date for such Notes at the Redemption
Price, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to, but excluding, such Redemption Date. On or before 12:00 p.m.
(New York City time) on such Redemption Date, the Company will deposit with the Trustee or with one or more Paying Agents (or,
if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, the Company will segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 10.03
of the Base Indenture) an amount of U.S. Dollars sufficient to redeem on such Redemption Date all of such Notes so called
for redemption and that become so due and payable at the appropriate Redemption Price for such Notes, together with accrued and
unpaid interest thereon, if any, to, but excluding, such Redemption Date. Unless the Company defaults in payment of the Redemption
Price for the Notes called for redemption or in the payment of accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to, but excluding,
such Redemption Date, commencing on such Redemption Date interest on such Notes so called for redemption and that become so due
and payable will cease to accrue and Holders of such Notes will have no rights with respect to such Notes except the right to
receive the Redemption Price for such Notes and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to, but excluding, such Redemption Date.

Section
3.03.         Partial Redemption. If
fewer than all of the Notes are to be redeemed by the Company pursuant to Section 3.01, selection of such Notes to be redeemed
will be made pro rata or by lot by the Trustee, or by such other method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate; provided
that if all of the Notes are represented by one or more Global Securities, interests in the Notes to be redeemed will be selected

EXECUTION, AUTHENTICATION, DELIVERY AND DATING

Section
4.01.         Amendments to Article III
of the Base Indenture. 

(a)           For purposes of the Notes, Section 3.03 of the Base Indenture shall be amended and restated in its entirety with
the following:

“Section
3.03 Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating. The Securities shall be executed on behalf of the Company by its Chairman
of the Board, its Vice Chairman of the Board, its President, its Chief Financial Officer, one of its Vice Presidents, its Treasurer,
its Secretary or one of its Assistant Secretaries. The signature of any of these officers on the Securities may be manual, electronic
or facsimile.

Securities
bearing the manual, electronic or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at any time the proper officers of the Company
shall bind the Company, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication
and delivery of such Securities or did not hold such offices at the date of such Securities.

At
any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Company may deliver Securities of any Series
executed by the Company to the Trustee for authentication, together with a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of
such Securities, and the Trustee in accordance with the Company Order shall authenticate and deliver such Securities. If the form
or terms of the Securities of the series have been established in or pursuant to one or more Board Resolutions as permitted by
Sections 2.01 and 3.01, in authenticating such Securities, and accepting the additional responsibilities under this Indenture
in relation to such Securities, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and (subject to Section 6.01) shall be fully protected
in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating,

(1)
if the form of such Securities has been established by or pursuant to Board Resolution as permitted by Section 2.01, that such
form has been established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture;

(2)
if the terms of such Securities have been established by or pursuant to Board Resolution as permitted by Section 3.01,
that such terms have been established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture; and

(3)
that such Securities, when authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and issued by the Company in the manner and subject to any
conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Company enforceable
in accordance with their terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar
laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and to general equity principles.

    	9

    	 

    

If
such form or terms have been so established, the Trustee shall not be required to authenticate such Securities if the issue of
such Securities pursuant to this Indenture will affect the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under the Securities
and this Indenture or otherwise in a manner which is not reasonably acceptable to the Trustee.

Notwithstanding
the provisions of Section 3.01 and of the second preceding paragraph, if all Securities of a series are not to be originally
issued at one time, it shall not be necessary to deliver the Officer’s Certificate otherwise required pursuant to Section
3.01 or the Company Order and Opinion of Counsel otherwise required pursuant to such second preceding paragraph at or prior
to the time of authentication of each Security of such series if such documents are delivered at or prior to the authentication
upon original issuance of the first Security of such series to be issued.

Each
Security shall be dated the date of its authentication.

No
Security shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears
on such Security a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein executed by the Trustee by manual,
electronic or facsimile signature, and such certificate upon any Security shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence,
that such Security has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Security shall have
been authenticated and delivered hereunder but never issued and sold by the Company, and the Company shall deliver such Security
to the Trustee for cancellation as provided in Section 3.09, for all purposes of this Indenture such Security shall be deemed
never to have been authenticated and delivered hereunder and shall never be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.”

Trustee (the Base Indenture, as supplemented by the Supplemental Indentures, the “Indenture”), to which Indenture
reference is hereby made for a description of the rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder
of the Trustee, the Company and the Holders. The terms of other series of Securities issued under the Base Indenture may vary

different maturity dates and may bear interest at different rates.

The Notes

This Note

than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes, to execute supplemental indentures for certain purposes as described

Note as contemplated by the Indenture. The Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may deem and treat
the Person in whose name this Note is registered upon the Security Register for the Notes as the absolute owner of this Note (whether
or not this Note shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notice of ownership or writing thereon made by anyone other than the
Registrar) for the purpose of receiving payment of or on account of the principal of and, subject to the provisions of the Indenture,
interest on this Note and for all other purposes; and neither the Company nor the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the

covenant or agreement of the Company in the Indenture, against any incorporator, stockholder, officer or director, past, present
or future of the Company or of any predecessor or successor, either directly or through the Company or any predecessor or successor,
whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment of penalty or otherwise;
and all such personal liability is expressly released and waived as a condition of, and as part of the consideration for, the
issuance of this Note.

In the
