Ariba Bonus Plan - Executive Officers

 EXHIBIT 10.41 
 ARIBA BONUS PLAN 
 EXECUTIVE OFFICERS 
 1. Effective Date and Term. This Plan was adopted by the
Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors of Ariba, Inc. (the “Company”) on November 15, 2007. It is effective for fiscal year 2008 and thereafter will continue to apply until it is amended or
terminated by the Committee. The Plan supersedes all prior bonus plans applicable to individuals who are deemed to be “officers” of the Company for purposes of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
“Executive Officers”). Any other bonus plan applicable to Executive Officers previously approved by the Committee is hereby terminated. 
 2. Administration. The Committee administers the Plan and adopts rules and regulations to implement the Plan. The decisions of the Committee are final and binding on all parties who have an interest in the Plan. 
 3. Eligibility. Participation in the Plan is limited to Executive Officers. Participation in the Plan is effective on the day the participant
starts in a bonus-eligible job. Participants must be employed in a bonus-eligible position before the first day of the last month of the fiscal half-year to be eligible to participate in the Plan for that fiscal half-year. Bonus payments will be
prorated for participants who become eligible after the start of a fiscal half-year or for participants who are on a leave of absence or sabbatical for all or part of a fiscal half-year. A participant may be removed from the Plan at any time and for
any reason, at the Company’s discretion, regardless of whether he or she remains an officer or employee of the Company. 
 4.
Determination of Amounts. The Plan may provide a semi-annual cash bonus that is paid based on the achievement of pre-determined Company performance objectives and individual performance factors. The amount of each participant’s
semi-annual bonus is determined as follows: 
 (a) An annual target bonus amount is assigned to the participant by the
Committee as soon as reasonably practicable after the beginning of a fiscal year or, if later, at the time of his or her hiring. The annual target bonus amount may be modified from time to time thereafter by the Committee. The semi-annual target
bonus amount is equal to 50% of the annual target bonus amount. 
 (b) Except in the case of the President, one-half of the
actual semi-annual bonus is determined on the basis of the Company’s semi-annual non-GAAP net income score and one-half is determined on the basis of the Company’s semi-annual revenue score. “Non-GAAP net income” means after-tax
income excluding (i) restructuring-related expense, (ii) amortization of acquired core technology and in-process R&D, (iii) amortization of goodwill and intangibles and (iv) amortization of stock-based compensation.

 (c) As soon as reasonably practicable after the beginning of a fiscal year, the Committee
determines for each fiscal half-year in that year the levels of non-GAAP net income and revenue that will be required for non-GAAP net income and revenue scores of 0.50, 0.75, 1.00 and 2.00. If the level of non-GAAP net income or revenue is less
than the level required for a 0.50 score, the score will be zero. If the level of non-GAAP net income or revenue is greater than the amount required for a 2.00 score, the score will be 2.00. If the amount of non-GAAP net income or revenue falls
between the amounts required for a 0.50 score and a 0.75 score, between the amounts required for a 0.75 score and a 1.00 score or between the amounts required for a 1.00 score and a 2.00 score, then straight-line interpolation will be used.

 (d) When the actual amount of non-GAAP net income for a fiscal half-year has been determined, the non-GAAP net income score
is calculated. Likewise, when the actual amount of revenue for a fiscal half-year has been determined, the revenue score is calculated. The weighted-average score for the fiscal half-year equals one-half of the non-GAAP net income score plus
one-half of the revenue score (“1H Score”). This weighted-average score is multiplied by each participant’s semi-annual target bonus amount. A similar calculation is performed at year end to determine the full year score. The second
half score is calculated by subtracting the 1H Score from the full year score. 
 (e) After the close of each fiscal
half-year, the Committee at its discretion may increase or reduce any semi-annual bonus based on criteria other than non-GAAP net income and revenue (including individual performance). 
 (f) In the case of the President, the Company’s semi-annual bookings score is added to the other two scores described above. The
semi-annual bookings score has a weight of 20%, the non-GAAP net income score has a weight of 40%, and the revenue score has a weight of 40%. As soon as reasonably practicable after the beginning of the fiscal year, the Committee determines for each
fiscal half-year in that year the amount of bookings that will be required for bookings scores of 0.50, 0.75, 1.00 and 2.00. If the amount of bookings is less than the amount required for a 0.50 score, the score will be zero. If the amount of
bookings is greater than the amount required for a 2.00 score, the score will be 2.00. If the amount of bookings falls between the amounts required for a 0.50 score and a 0.75 score, between the amounts required for a 0.75 score and a 1.00 score or
between the amounts required for a 1.00 score and a 2.00 score, then straight-line interpolation will be used. All other provisions of the Plan apply to the President in the same manner as to the other Executive Officers. 
 (g) The Committee may adjust the amount of the Company’s semi-annual non-GAAP net income or semi-annual revenue, or both, to exclude
extraordinary expenses or benefits.

 5. Payment of Bonuses. Payment of the semi-annual cash bonus (if any) is targeted for May 31
and November 30. Adjustments to this payment schedule may be made as business conditions require. 
 6. Employment Requirement.
Unless a Severance Agreement between a participant and the Company provides otherwise, the participant must be employed by the Company at the time of the bonus payment to receive the semi-annual cash bonus. 
 7. Modification or Termination of the Plan. The Committee reserves the right to modify, suspend or terminate this Plan at any time. Should an
acquisition or significant business initiative change the operating plan, this Plan may be modified or a new plan may go into effect at the start of the fiscal half-year following this event. 
 8. Benefits Unfunded. No amounts awarded or accrued under this Plan will be funded, set aside or otherwise segregated prior to payment. The
obligation to pay the bonuses awarded hereunder will at all times be an unfunded and unsecured obligation of the Company. Plan participants will have the status of general creditors and must look solely to the general assets of the Company for the
payment of their bonus awards. 
 9. Benefits Nontransferable. No Plan participant will have the right to alienate, pledge or encumber
his or her interest in this Plan, and such interest will not (to the extent permitted by law) be subject in any way to the claims of the participant’s creditors or to attachment, execution or other process of law. 
 10. No Employment Rights. No action of the Company in establishing the Plan, no action taken under the Plan by the Committee and no provision of
the Plan itself will be construed to grant any person the right to remain in the employ of the Company or its subsidiaries for any period of specific duration. Rather, each employee is employed “at will,” which means that either the
employee or the Company may terminate the employment relationship at any time and for any reason, with or without cause.

 Mr. Tayloe Stansbury 
 807 11th Avenue 
 Sunnyvale, CA 94089 
 Dear Tayloe: 
 This letter (the “Agreement”) confirms the agreement between you and Ariba, Inc. (the “Company”) regarding the termination of your employment with the Company. 
 1. Effective Date and Revocation. You have up to 21 days after you received this Agreement to review it. You are advised to consult an attorney of
your own choosing (at your own expense) before signing this Agreement. Furthermore, you have up to seven days after you sign this Agreement to revoke it. If you wish to revoke this Agreement after signing it, you may do so by delivering a letter of
revocation to me, with copy to our General Counsel. If you do not revoke this Agreement, the eighth day after the date you sign it will be the “Effective Date.” Because of the seven-day revocation period, no part of this Agreement will
become effective or enforceable until the Effective Date. 
 2. Termination Date. Your employment with the Company will terminate on a
date that you may select but in no event later than December 31, 2007 (the “Termination Date”). You agree to inform me in writing of the date that you select and to provide reasonable advance notice of your selection. Within three
business days of the Termination Date, the Company will pay you all of your salary earned through the Termination Date and all of your accrued but unused vacation time or PTO (less all applicable withholding taxes and other deductions). You
acknowledge that the only payments and benefits that you are entitled to receive from the Company in the future are those specified in this Agreement. 
 3. Employment until Termination Date. Until the Termination Date, you will remain employed by the Company. Until the Termination Date, the Company will continue paying your salary at the current annual rate.
You will be entitled to receive the balance of your incentive bonus for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2007, but you will not be entitled to receive any incentive bonus for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2008. 
 4. Severance Pay. Within 14 days after the Termination Date, the Company will make a severance payment to you in the amount of $250,000 (which
equals 50% of your current annual base salary plus 50% of your current annual target bonus). The severance payment will be made in a lump sum in cash and will be subject to all applicable withholding taxes. If you breach any provision of this
Agreement, no payments will be made under this Section 4 and you will return the amounts already received (if any), but this Agreement will remain in effect.

 5. COBRA Premiums. You will receive information about your right to continue your group health
insurance coverage under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (“COBRA”) after the Termination Date. In order to continue your coverage, you must file the required election form. If you sign this Agreement and elect to
continue group health insurance coverage, then the Company will pay the employer portion of the monthly premium under COBRA for yourself and, if applicable, your dependents until the earliest of (a) the end of the period of six months following
the month in which the Termination Date occurs, (b) the expiration of your continuation coverage under COBRA or (c) the date when you become eligible for health insurance in connection with new employment or self-employment. You
acknowledge that you otherwise would not have been entitled to any continuation of Company-paid health insurance. 
 6. Restricted
Shares. You currently hold 160,138 unvested shares of the Company’s Common Stock. On the Effective Date, or on the first business day following the Effective Date if the Effective Date falls on a weekend or holiday, you will vest in 60,000
of these shares which will be allocated as follows: 56,666 shares from grant number 00013616 and 3,334 shares from grant number 00012347. The remaining 100,138 unvested shares from those and all other grants will be forfeited on the Effective Date
(regardless of your continuing employment). You hereby acknowledge that you will have no further right in, or entitlement to, the remaining 100,138 unvested shares after the Effective Date. In all other respects, the Restricted Stock Agreements
between you and the Company will remain in full force and effect, including, but not limited to, the provisions relating to your obligation to pay withholding taxes. You agree that you remain bound by the Company’s Securities Trading Policy
which is attached as Exhibit A. You acknowledge and agree that you have no rights relating to the Company’s stock, or rights to purchase the Company’s stock, other than those enumerated in this Section 6. 
 7. Release of Your Claims. In consideration for receiving the benefits described above, to the fullest extent permitted by law, you waive, release
and promise never to assert any claims or causes of action, whether or not now known, against the Company or its predecessors, successors or past or present subsidiaries, stockholders, directors, officers, employees, consultants, attorneys, agents,
assigns and employee benefit plans with respect to any matter, including (without limitation) any matter related to your employment with the Company or the termination of that employment, including (without limitation) claims to attorneys’ fees
or costs, claims of wrongful discharge, constructive discharge, emotional distress, defamation, invasion of privacy, fraud, breach of contract or breach of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing and any claims of discrimination or harassment
based on sex, age, race, national origin, disability or any other basis under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the California Fair Employment and Housing Act, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, the Americans with
Disabilities Act and all other laws and regulations relating to employment. However, this release covers only those claims that arose prior to the execution of this Agreement and only those claims that may be waived by applicable law. Execution of
this Agreement does not bar: 
 (a) Any claim that arises hereafter; 

 Mr. Tayloe Stansbury

 (b) Any claim arising under the Indemnification Agreement dated April 30, 2003,
between you and the Company, as amended (the “Indemnification Agreement”); 
 (c) Any claim to indemnification or
advancement of expenses arising under the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended (the “Certificate”), or the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws, as amended (the “Bylaws”); or

 (d) Any claim to indemnification or advancement of expenses arising under Section 2802 of the California Labor Code or
other State statutes. 
 8. Release of the Company’s Claims. The Company waives, releases and promises never to assert any claims
or causes of action, whether or not now known, against you or your successors, agents or assigns with respect to any matter, including (without limitation) any matter related to your employment with the Company or the termination of that employment,
including (without limitation) claims to attorneys’ fees or costs and claims of defamation, fraud, breach of contract or breach of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing. However, this release bars only those claims that arose prior to the
execution of this Agreement. Execution of this Agreement does not bar: 
 (a) Any claim that arises hereafter; 
 (b) Any claim arising under the Indemnification Agreement; 
 (c) Any claim to repayment of indemnification payments arising under the Certificate or the Bylaws; or 
 (d) Any claim to repayment of indemnification payments arising under applicable State statutes. 
 9. Waiver. You and the Company expressly waive and release any and all rights and benefits under Section 1542 of the California Civil Code
(or any analogous law of any other state), which reads as follows: “A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him
or her must have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor.” 
 10. No Admission. Nothing contained in this
Agreement will constitute or be treated as an admission by you or the Company of liability, any wrongdoing or any violation of law. 
 11.
Other Agreements. At all times in the future, you will remain bound by your Employee Agreement with the Company. Until the first anniversary of the Termination

Date, you will also remain bound by the covenants described in Section 3 of the Severance Agreement dated June 11, 2004, between you and the
Company (the “Severance Agreement”). The continuation of the benefits described in this Agreement is subject to your compliance with those covenants. For this purpose, the list of companies attached to the Severance Agreement as
Exhibit B is hereby expanded by adding SAP to that list. The covenants described in Section 3 of the Severance Agreement will cease to apply on the first anniversary of the Termination Date. Except as expressly set forth in this
Section 11 and in Section 14, the Severance Agreement is superseded by this Agreement and will have no further effect. 
 12.
Company Property. You represent that you will return to the Company all property that belongs to the Company, including (without limitation) copies of documents that belong to the Company and files stored on your computer(s) that contain
information belonging to the Company within 2 weeks of the Termination Date. 
 13. Severability; Modifications. If any term of this
Agreement is held to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect and will in no way be affected, and the parties will use their best efforts to find an alternate way to achieve the same
result. This Agreement may be modified only in a written document signed by you and a duly authorized officer of the Company. 
 14.
Choice of Law; Arbitration. This Agreement will be construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of California (other than their choice-of-law provisions). The arbitration requirement described in Section 7 of the
Severance Agreement will also apply to this Agreement. 
 15. Execution. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which
will be considered an original, but all of which together will constitute one agreement. Execution of a facsimile copy will have the same force and effect as execution of an original, and a facsimile signature will be deemed an original and valid
signature. 
 Please indicate your agreement with the above terms by signing below.
