$3,000,000,000 Commercial Paper Program Dealer Agreements and Issuing and Paying Agency Agreement

     Pursuant to the dealer agreements each dated March 23, 2005 (the “Dealer Agreements”) between Oracle Corporation (“Oracle”) and Banc of America Securities LLC; J.P. Morgan Securities Inc.; Lehman Brothers Inc. and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, respectively, and the Issuing and Paying Agency Agreement dated March 23, 2005 (the “Agency Agreement”) between Oracle and JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association (the “Agent”), Oracle issued and sold unsecured short-term promissory notes with an aggregate principal face value of $2,000,000,000 (the “CP Notes”) on April 7 and 8, 2005, under Oracle’s $3,000,000,000 commercial paper program (the “CP Program”). The CP Notes were issued and sold pursuant to a private placement exemption from the registration requirements under federal and state securities laws. The proceeds from the issuance of the CP Notes will be used to repay certain borrowings under the $9,500,000,000 364-Day Term Loan Agreement dated December 28, 2004, among Oracle and the agents and lenders named therein.

     The CP Notes, which were issued at a discount from their principal face value, have various maturities with different yields. The average days to maturity of the CP Notes is 72.8 days, and the average weighted yield of the CP Notes is 3.02%. The CP Notes are the direct financial obligations of Oracle pursuant to the Agency Agreement. The CP Notes are not redeemable prior to maturity and are not subject to voluntary prepayment. Oracle may refinance the CP Notes by issuing additional short-term promissory notes under the CP Program on or prior to the date the CP Notes become due. The Agency Agreement provides for the issuance and payment of the CP Notes and contains customary representations, warranties, covenants and indemnification provisions.
