Justine Henin and Lindsay Davenport Join Event

The BNP Paribas Open “Hit For Haiti” exhibition, on the evening of Friday,
March 12, will be presented by Oracle (NASDAQ: ORCL), and has added a second
match to the evening’s event that will feature four legendary female players,
it was announced today by Steve Simon, tournament director.

Oracle will lead a comprehensive fundraising effort which will include on-site,
text messaging and private donations targeted to reach $1 Million. Funds will
benefit the American Red Cross Haiti Relief and Development fund, which was
established to help those impacted by the recent earthquakes in Haiti.

A women’s match featuring an astounding 50 Grand Slam titles on the same court
will include Stefanie Graf and Lindsay Davenport taking on Martina Navratilova
and Justine Henin. They will be the first match that evening, which will be
followed by the match comprised of 44 Grand Slam title holders, Roger Federer
and Pete Sampras playing Rafael Nadal and Andre Agassi.

“Oracle is proud to participate in fundraising efforts to benefit the relief
efforts in Haiti,” said Oracle CEO Larry Ellison. “It is impressive to see
this remarkable line up of athletes work together to raise much-needed funds
for Haiti. Our hope is to hold an event that supports relief efforts and
continues to raise the visibility for how Haiti needs the world’s help.”

The event will be broadcast live in numerous countries around the world, and
domestically on the Tennis Channel, beginning at 7:30 PM PST. In addition, live
web streaming will be available on bnpparibasopen.org, TennisTV.com,

and production teams of the event are picking up all of the production costs to
ensure that the maximum amount of money can be generated for the fundraising
effort.

The evening will begin at 7:00 p.m. with the annual Salute to Heroes ceremony,

firemen and women, and Red Cross volunteers on Stadium Court for their efforts
in the community and around the world. The ceremony and tennis exhibition will
