RIGHTNOW CUSTOMER AND PARTNER LETTER

TO: RightNow Customers and Partners

FR: Greg Gianforte, Chief Executive Officer and Founder

DT: October 24, 2011

Subject: Oracle to Acquire RightNow

RightNow Customers and Partners,

On October 24, 2011, Oracle announced that it has entered into an agreement to acquire RightNow, a leading provider of cloud-based customer service. The proposed transaction is subject to RightNow stockholder approval, certain regulatory approvals, and customary closing conditions and is expected to close by late 2011 or early 2012. Until the deal closes, each company will continue to operate independently, and it is business as usual.

As you know, RightNow’s leading cloud-based customer service software helps organizations deliver an exceptional experience across call centers, the web and social networks. Nearly 2,000 organizations across a wide range of consumer-centric industries rely on our customer service cloud to improve the quality and consistency of experience across channels, reduce response times and lower operational costs.

We anticipate that you will experience significant benefits from this combination. Oracle is moving aggressively to offer customers a full range of Cloud Solutions including sales force automation, marketing, human resources, talent management, social networking, databases and Java as part of the Oracle Public Cloud. Our customer service cloud offering is an important and complementary addition to Oracle’s Public Cloud. Together, we intend to enable a superior customer experience at every contact and across every channel.

Please know that the RightNow team, with the additional resources provided by this anticipated combination with Oracle, remains committed to your success with our solutions. Please visit www.rightnow.com/oracle for more information about the planned combination.

I truly appreciate your continued support.

Regards,

Greg Gianforte

Chief Executive Officer and Founder
