APPENDIX A-Q3-4 2022
To RingCentral, Inc. Executive Bonus Plan
Q3-4 2022 Performance Goals
(Effective as of June 1, 2022)

1.Q3-4 2022 Performance Period and Performance Goals.  For the calendar quarters Q3-4 2022, there are two quarterly Performance Periods, ending on September 30 and December 31, 2022 (each a “Q3-4 2022 Performance Period”).  For each of the two Q3-4 2022 Performance Periods, there are two equally weighted (50% each) performance goals (each, a “Q3-4 2022 Performance Goal”): Revenue and Operating Margin (each as defined below).   The chart below set forth the Revenue and Operating Margin Performance Goals for the Q3-4 2022 Performance Periods.

									
	2022 Performance Period	Revenue Performance Goal (in millions)
	Operating Margin Performance Goal
	Q3	$530.8	10.5%
	Q4	$576.3	12.8%

            
“Revenue” means as to each of the Q3-4 2022 Performance Periods, the Company’s net revenues generated from third parties, including both services revenues and product revenues as defined in the Company’s Form 10-K filed for the calendar year ended December 31, 2021.  Net revenue is defined as gross sales less any pertinent discounts, refunds or other contra-revenue amounts, as presented on the Company’s press releases reporting its quarterly financial results.

“Operating Margin” means as to each of the Q3-4 2022 Performance Periods, the Company’s non-GAAP operating income divided by its Revenue.  Non-GAAP operating income means the Company’s Revenues less cost of revenues and operating expenses, excluding the impact of stock-based compensation expense, amortization of acquisition related intangibles, legal settlement related charges and as adjusted for certain acquisitions, as presented on the Company’s press releases reporting its quarterly financial results.
2.Funding of Q3-4 2022 Bonus Pool.  Subject to the terms of the Plan, including but not limited to Section 3(d) of the Plan, following the end of the Q3-4 2022 Performance Period, the Committee will determine the extent to which each of the Q3-4 2022 Performance Goals are achieved in accordance with the following guidelines.
a.If the Company achieves Revenue in the Q3-4 2022 Performance Period that is lower than the amount of Revenue expected by analyst consensus estimates after the Company has released its guidance for such Q3-4 2022 Performance Period (“Revenue Floor”), the Q3-4 2022 Bonus Pool related to the Revenue Performance Goal for such 2022 Performance Period will not fund.

b.If the Company achieves Operating Margin in the Q3-4 2022 Performance Period that is lower than the Operating Margin expected by analyst consensus estimates after the Company has released its guidance for such Q3-4 2022 Performance Period (“Operating Margin Floor”), the Q3-4 2022 Bonus Pool related to the Operating Margin Performance Goal for such Q3-4 2022 Performance Period will not fund.
c.If the Company achieves Revenue that is at least equal to the Revenue Floor, the Q3-4 2022 Bonus Pool related to the Revenue Performance goal for the Q3-4 2022 Performance Period will fund as follows based on the achievement relative to the applicable Performance Goal.
Revenue:  For 100% of the Bonus Pool with respect to Revenue to fund, 100% to 101% of the Performance Goal for Revenue must be achieved.  For each 1% of Revenue that is achieved above 101% of the Performance Goal for Revenue, the Bonus Pool with respect to Revenue will be increased by 10%, and for each 1% of Revenue that is achieved below 100% of the Performance Goal for Revenue, the Bonus Pool with respect to Revenue will be reduced by 10%.
d.If the Company achieves Operating Margin that is at least equal to the Operating Margin Floor, the Q3-4 2022 Bonus Pool related to the Operating Margin Performance goal for the 2022 Performance Period will fund as follows based on the achievement relative to the applicable Performance Goal.
Operating Margin: For 100% of the Bonus Pool with respect to Operating Margin to fund, -0.4pts to +0.4pts of the Performance Goal for Operating Margin must be achieved.  For each 0.1pts of Operating Margin that is achieved above the Performance Goal for Operating Margin, the Bonus Pool with respect to operating Margin will be increased by 1% (up to a maximum of 120%), and for each 0.1pts of Operating Margin that is achieved below the Performance Goal for Operating Margin, the Bonus Pool with respect to Operating Margin will be reduced by 1%.
The chart below illustrates examples of the funding multiple that will apply to each Performance Goal.

						
	Performance Goal Achievement Revenue	Q3-4 2022 Bonus Pool Funding Payout Percentage for Revenue*

	Below Revenue Floor	0%
	96%	60%
	97%	70%
	98%	80%
	99%	90%
	100% 	100%
	101%	100%
	102%	110%
	103%	120%
	104%	130%
	105%	140%

						
	Performance Goal Achievement Operating Margin 
	Q3-4 2022 Bonus Pool Funding Multiple for Operating Margin*

	Below Operating Margin Floor	0%
	1.4 pts below Goal	90%
	0.9 pts below Goal	95%
	0.4 pts below Goal	100%
	At Goal	100%
	0.4 pts above Goal	100%
	0.9 pts above Goal	105%
	1.4 pts above Goal	110%
	1.9 pts above Goal	115%
	2.4 pts above Goal	120%
	>2.4 pts above Goal	120%
	-	-

* “%” equals the target bonus amount per the payout above. The lowest Funding Multiple for Revenue set forth above assumes that the achievement of the Q3-4 2022 Performance Goal for Revenue is equal to at least the Revenue Floor required to fund the Q3-4 2022 Bonus Plan.  The maximum Funding Multiple for Operating Margin shall be 120%.  There is no maximum Funding Multiple for Revenue.
Illustration 
For example, if the Company achieves its Revenue at 101% of the Q2-4 2022 Performance Goal for Revenue and achieves its Operating Margin at 1.3pts above the Q2-4 2022 Performance Goal for Operating Margin, the Q2-4 2022 Bonus Pool will fund as to 104.5%, determined as follows:
–50% on achievement of the Revenue Q3-4 2022 Performance Goal (50% weighted target * 100%)
–54.5% on achievement of the Operating Margin Q3-4 2022 Performance Goal (50% weighted target * 109%)
3.Timing of Bonus Payments.  The quarterly bonus earned under this Q3-4 2022 Bonus Plan shall be paid in the quarter following the quarter in which earned.Exhibit 41

This Section 17 shall not prohibit the Company or any other holder of Bonds from contesting any such reproduction to the same extent that it could contest the original, or from introducing evidence to demonstrate the inaccuracy of any such reproduction.
		

		
			Section 18.Confidential Information.
		

		
			For the purposes of this Section 18,  “Confidential Information” means information delivered to any Purchaser by or on behalf of the Company or any Subsidiary in connection with the transactions contemplated by or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement that is proprietary in nature and that was clearly marked or labeled or otherwise adequately identified when received by such Purchaser as being confidential information of the Company or such Subsidiary, provided that such term does not include information that (a) was publicly known or otherwise known to such Purchaser prior to the time of such disclosure, (b) subsequently becomes publicly known through no act or omission by such Purchaser or any person acting on such Purchaser’s behalf, (c) otherwise becomes known to such Purchaser other than through disclosure by the Company or any Subsidiary or (d) constitutes financial statements delivered to such Purchaser under Section 7.1 of this Agreement or under the Indenture that are otherwise publicly available.  Each Purchaser will maintain the confidentiality of such Confidential Information in accordance with procedures adopted by such Purchaser in good faith to protect confidential information of third parties delivered to such Purchaser, provided that such Purchaser may deliver or disclose Confidential Information to (i) its directors, trustees, officers, employees, agents, attorneys and affiliates (to the extent such disclosure reasonably relates to the administration of the investment represented by Bonds), (ii) its financial advisors and other professional advisors who agree to hold confidential the Confidential Information substantially in accordance with the terms of this Section 18, (iii) the Trustee or any other holder of any Bond, (iv) any Institutional Investor to which it sells or offers to sell such Bond or any part thereof or any participation therein (if such Person has agreed in writing prior to its receipt of such Confidential Information to be bound by the provisions of this Section 18), (v) any Person from which it offers to purchase any security of the Company (if such Person has agreed in writing prior to its receipt of such Confidential Information to be bound by the provisions of this Section 18), (vi) any federal or state or provincial regulatory authority having jurisdiction over such Purchaser, (vii) the NAIC or the SVO or, in each case, any similar organization, or any nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to information about such Purchaser’s investment portfolio, or (viii) any other Person to which such

		delivery or disclosure may be necessary or appropriate (w) to effect compliance with any law, rule, regulation or order applicable to such Purchaser, (x) in response to any subpoena or other legal process, (y) in connection with any litigation to which such Purchaser is a party, or (z) if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to the extent such Purchaser may reasonably determine such delivery and disclosure to be necessary or appropriate in the enforcement or for the protection of the rights and remedies under any Financing Agreement.  Each holder of a Bond, by its acceptance of a Bond, will be deemed to have agreed to be bound by and to be entitled to the benefits of this Section 18 as though it were a party to this Agreement.  On reasonable request by the Company in connection with the delivery to any holder of a Bond of information required to be delivered to such holder under this Agreement or requested by such holder (other than a holder that is a party to this Agreement or its nominee), such holder will enter into an agreement with the Company embodying the provisions of this Section 18.
		

		
			In the event that as a condition to receiving access to information relating to the Company or its Subsidiaries in connection with the transactions contemplated by or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement, any Purchaser or holder of a Bond is required to agree to a confidentiality undertaking (whether through EMMA, another secure website, a secure virtual workspace or otherwise) which is different from this Section 18, this Section 18 shall not be amended thereby and, as between such Purchaser or such holder and the Company, this Section 18 shall supersede any such other confidentiality undertaking.
		

		
			Section 19.  Miscellaneous.
		

		
			Section 19.1.Successors and Assigns.  All covenants and other agreements contained in this Agreement by or on behalf of any of the parties hereto bind and inure to the benefit of their respective successors and assigns (including, without limitation, any subsequent holder of a Bond) whether so expressed or not,  except that, subject to Section 10.2, the Company may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder or under the Bonds without the prior written consent of each holder.  Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.
		

		
			Section 19.2.Accounting Terms.  All accounting terms used herein which are not expressly defined in this Agreement have the meanings respectively given to them in accordance with GAAP.  Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, (a) all computations made pursuant to this Agreement shall be made in accordance with GAAP, and (b) all financial statements shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP.  For purposes of determining compliance with the financial covenants contained in the Financing Agreements, if any, any election by the Company to measure Debt using fair value (as permitted by Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic No. 825‐10‐25 – Fair Value Option, International Accounting Standard 39 – Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement or any similar accounting standard) shall be disregarded and such determination shall be made as if such election had not been made and such Debt shall be valued at not less than 100% of the principal amount thereof.
		

		

		

		 

		

			-25-

		

 

		

			 

		

		Section 19.3.Severability.  Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall (to the full extent permitted by law) not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
		

		
			Section 19.4.Construction, Etc.  Each covenant contained herein shall be construed (absent express provision to the contrary) as being independent of each other covenant contained herein, so that compliance with any one covenant shall not (absent such an express contrary provision) be deemed to excuse compliance with any other covenant.  Where any provision herein refers to action to be taken by any Person, or which such Person is prohibited from taking, such provision shall be applicable whether such action is taken directly or indirectly by such Person.
		

		
			For the avoidance of doubt, all Schedules and Exhibits attached to this Agreement shall be deemed to be a part hereof.
		

		
			Section 19.5.Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original but all of which together shall constitute one instrument.  Each counterpart may consist of a number of copies hereof, each signed by less than all, but together signed by all, of the parties hereto.
		

		
			Section 19.6.Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and the rights of the parties shall be governed by, the law of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania excluding choice‐of‐law principles of the law of such State that would permit the application of the laws of a jurisdiction other than such State.
		

		
			Section 19.7.Jurisdiction and Process; Waiver of Jury Trial.  (a) The Company irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any Pennsylvania State or federal court sitting in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, over any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Bonds.  To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Company irrevocably waives and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense or otherwise, any claim that it is not subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court and any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.
		

		
			(b)The Company consents to process being served by or on behalf of any holder of Bonds in any suit, action or proceeding of the nature referred to in Section 19.7(a) by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, return receipt requested, to it at its address specified in Section 15 or at such other address of which such holder shall then have been notified pursuant to said Section.  The Company agrees that such service upon receipt (i) shall be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon it in any such suit, action or proceeding and (ii) shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, be taken and held to be valid personal service upon and personal delivery to it.  Notices hereunder shall be conclusively presumed received as evidenced by a delivery receipt furnished by the United States Postal Service or any reputable commercial delivery service.
		

		

		

		 

		

			-26-

		

 

		

			 

		

		(c)Nothing in this Section 19.7 shall affect the right of any holder of a Bond to serve process in any manner permitted by law, or limit any right that the holders of any of the Bonds may have to bring proceedings against the Company in the courts of any appropriate jurisdiction or to enforce in any lawful manner a judgment obtained in one jurisdiction in any other jurisdiction.
		

		
			(d)The parties hereto hereby waive trial by jury in any action brought on or with respect to this Agreement, the Bonds or any other document executed in connection herewith or therewith.
		

		
			Section 19.8.Payments Due on Non-Business Days.  Anything in this Agreement or the Bonds to the contrary notwithstanding, any payment of principal of or Make-Whole Amount or interest on any Bond that is due on a date other than a Business Day shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day without including the additional days elapsed in the computation of the interest payable on such next succeeding Business Day; provided that if the maturity date of any Bond is a date other than a Business Day, the payment otherwise due on such maturity date shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and shall include the additional days elapsed in the computation of interest payable on such next succeeding Business Day.
