common law, regulation, statute or treaty (“Legal Requirement”) of any foreign, federal, state,
local or other governmental authority or regulatory body or any court or other tribunal
(“Governmental Body”).

2.

 

          3.2 No Consent Required. No consent, authorization, approval, order, license, certificate or

Company as follows:

          4.1 Requisite Power and Authority. The Wood River Entities have all necessary power and
authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and the Settlement Agreement and to carry out their
provisions. All action on the Receiver’s and the Wood River Entities’ part required for the lawful
execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Settlement Agreement has been taken. Upon their
execution and delivery, this Agreement and the Settlement Agreement will be valid and binding
obligations of the Receiver (solely in his capacity as such to the extent provided herein and
therein) and the Wood River Entities, enforceable in accordance with their terms, except (a) as
limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws of general
application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights, and (b) as limited by general principles of
equity that restrict the availability of equitable remedies. The execution and delivery by Wood
River Entities of this Agreement and the Settlement Agreement, and the consummation by the Wood
River Entities of the transactions contemplated hereunder and thereunder, will not, with or without
the giving of notice or the passage of time or both violate the provisions of any Legal
Requirement of any Governmental Body,

          4.2 Ownership of Shares. The Wood River Entities have good and marketable right, title and
interest (legal and beneficial) in and to all of the Shares. Upon payment for the Shares in
accordance with this Agreement, the Wood River Entities will convey the Shares to the Company free
and clear of all liens, pledges, security interests, charges, contractual obligations, claims or
encumbrances of any kind (other than those that may be created by the Company).

          4.3 Compliance with Other Instruments. Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement
nor, the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated hereby nor compliance with or
fulfillment of the terms, conditions and provisions hereof will result in the creation of any
mortgage, pledge, lien, security interest, encumbrance, contractual obligation or charge upon the
Shares (other than those created by the Company). Neither the Wood River Entities nor the Receiver
has granted any options of any sort with respect to the Shares or any right to acquire the Shares
or any interest therein other than under this Agreement.

          4.4 No Consent Required. Other than the Approval Order (as defined below), no consent,
authorization, approval, order, license, certificate or permit or act of or from, or declaration or
filing with, any Governmental Body or any party to any contract, agreement,

3.

 

instrument, lease or license to which the Receiver or any of the Wood River Entities is a
party, is required for the execution, delivery or performance by the Wood River Entities of this
Agreement or any of the other agreements, instruments and documents being or to be executed and
delivered hereunder or in connection herewith or for the Wood River Entities to consummate the
transactions contemplated hereby.

          4.5 Disclosure of Information. The Receiver has received all the information he, with the
advice of his financial advisors, considers necessary or appropriate for deciding whether the Wood
River Entities should sell the Shares to the Company pursuant to this Agreement. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, the Receiver has read the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company’s quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and current reports
on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission since January 1, 2007 and the
Company’s proxy statement for its 2007 annual meeting of stockholders. The Receiver acknowledges
(i) that neither the Company, nor any of the Company’s Related Parties (as defined below), has made
any representation or warranty, express or implied, except as set forth herein or in the Settlement
Agreement, regarding any aspect of the sale and purchase of the Shares, the operation or financial
condition of the Company or the value of the Shares, (ii) that the Receiver is not relying upon the
Company or any of the Company’s Related Parties in making its decision to sell the Shares to the
Company pursuant to this Agreement, (iii) that the Company is relying upon the truth of the
representations and warranties in this Section 4 in connection with its purchase of the Shares
hereunder. For purposes of this Agreement, “Related Parties” shall mean the Company’s current and
former directors, officers, partners, employees, attorneys, agents, successors, assigns, current
and former stockholders (including current and former limited partners, general partners and
management companies), owners, representatives, predecessors, parents, affiliates, associates and
subsidiaries.

          4.6 Continuing Rights. After the Closing, the Wood River Entities shall have no rights with
respect to the Shares, as stockholders of the Company or otherwise, with respect to any future
sale, acquisition, merger, liquidation, dissolution or other corporate event regarding the Company
or its assets (any of the foregoing, a “Corporate Event”). The Receiver expressly acknowledges
that any such Corporate Event may result in the payment by the Company or a third party of assets,
funds or other proceeds to the Company’s stockholders in a manner such that the value attributed to
the Company’s capital stock in such Corporate Event (either in an aggregate amount or on a per
share basis) may be greater than the purchase price paid pursuant to in this Agreement.

          4.7 Tax Consequences. The Receiver has had an opportunity to review the federal, state and
local tax consequences of the sale of the Shares to the Company and the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement with his own tax advisors. The Receiver is relying solely on such advisors for
tax advice and not on any statements or representations of the Company or any of its respective
Related Parties. The Receiver understands that the Wood River Entities (and not the Company) shall
be responsible for their own respective tax liabilities that may arise as a result of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

     7. Miscellaneous.

          7.1 Amendment of Registration Rights Agreement. The first sentence of Section 8.1 of the

under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (ii) to any transfer by any Wood River Entity to
another Wood River Entity or (iii) to the sales of WR Common Stock to the Company contemplated by

Registration Rights Agreement. Immediately following the Closing, the Registration Rights
Agreement shall terminate in its entirety and such agreement and all rights and obligations

written instrument signed by the Company and the Wood River Entities or in the case of a waiver, by

privilege pursuant to this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any waiver on the
part of any party of any right, power or privilege pursuant to this Agreement, nor shall any single
or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege pursuant to this Agreement, preclude any other
or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege pursuant to this

exclusive of any rights or remedies which any party otherwise may have at law or in equity.

          7.8 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of which
shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have

counterpart.

          7.9 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed in all respects by the laws of the State

in any way affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

          7.11 Specific Performance. The parties acknowledge and agree that any breach of the terms of
this Agreement would give rise to irreparable harm for which money damages would not be an adequate
remedy, and, accordingly, the parties agree that, in addition to any other remedies, each will be
entitled to enforce the terms of this Agreement by a decree of specific performance without the
necessity of proving the inadequacy of money damages as a remedy and without the necessity of
posting bond.

liable for the payment of any indebtedness or expenses of the Wood River Entities or be liable for
the breach or failure of any obligation, representation, warranty, or covenant made or undertaken

    Exhibit 10.28

 

    Description
    of the Fiscal Year 2008 Executive Bonus Plan

 

    Eligibility.  Participants in the Bonus Plan
    are chosen solely at the discretion of the Compensation
    Committee. Our Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, our
    Presidents, all of our Executive Vice Presidents and certain of
    our Senior Vice Presidents are eligible to be considered for
    participation in the Bonus Plan. As of August 23, 2007,
    there were 12 persons chosen to participate for fiscal year
    2008. No person is automatically entitled to participate in the
    Bonus Plan in any bonus plan year. We may also pay discretionary
    bonuses, or other types of compensation, outside the Bonus Plan
    which may or may not be deductible. However, no employee has a
    guaranteed right to such discretionary compensation as a
    substitute for a performance award in the event that performance
    targets are not met or that stockholders fail to approve the
    material terms of the Bonus Plan.

 

    History.  The Compensation Committee approved
    the adoption of the Bonus Plan, which is part of the overall
    compensation program for our executives, on August 23, 2007.

 

    Purpose.  The purpose of the Bonus Plan is to
    motivate the participants to achieve our financial performance
    objectives and to reward them when those objectives are met with
    bonuses that are intended to be deductible by us to the maximum
    extent possible as “performance-based compensation”
    within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Internal
    Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).

 

    Administration.  The Bonus Plan will be
    administered by the Compensation Committee, consisting of no
    fewer than two members of the Board, each of whom qualifies as
    an “outside director” within the meaning of
    Section 162(m) of the Code.

 

    Determination of Awards.  Under the Bonus Plan,
    participants will be eligible to receive awards based upon the
    attainment, in fiscal year 2008, and certification of certain
    performance criteria established by the Compensation Committee.
    For fiscal year 2008:

 

	(a)	 	Mr. Ellison, our Chief Executive Officer;
    Mr. Henley, our Chairman of the Board; Ms. Catz, a
    President and our Chief Financial Officer; and
    Mr. Phillips, a President, will each receive an award based
    on Oracle’s improvement in its pre-tax profit on a non-GAAP
    basis from fiscal year 2007 to fiscal year 2008;

 

	(b)	 	each Executive Vice President and two Senior Vice
    Presidents directly responsible for sales and consulting
    (collectively, the “Sales and Consulting
    Participants”) will receive an award based upon growth in
    license revenues, customer relationship management On Demand
    revenues and outsourcing bookings (i.e., contracts signed
    associated with our On Demand business) in their respective
    areas of responsibility from fiscal year 2007 to fiscal year
    2008 and upon reaching and exceeding targets with respect to
    licensing, outsourcing and consulting margins in their
    respective areas of responsibility for fiscal year 2008; and

 

	(c)	 	each Executive Vice President and one Senior Vice
    President not directly responsible for sales or consulting will
    receive an award based on the amount by which revenue growth in
    their respective areas of responsibility from fiscal year 2007
    to fiscal year 2008 exceeded the expense growth of their
    respective areas of responsibility from fiscal year 2007 to
    fiscal year 2008.

 

    The Compensation Committee adopted the performance measures on
    August 23, 2007, within 90 days after the start of
    fiscal year 2008. Each Sales and Consulting Participant’s
    total bonus amount under the Bonus Plan is calculated by summing
    the applicable individual bonuses for each performance measure.
    For all participants, the applicable individual bonus for their
    performance measure or measures is related to the amount by
    which the target for each performance measure is exceeded or
    missed. If the individual performance target bonus calculation
    results in a negative number, the individual bonus for such
    performance measure is zero. The details of each of the formulas
    with respect to the criteria have not been included in this
    proxy statement in order to maintain the confidentiality of our
    revenue, profit, expense
    and/or
    margin expectations, which we believe are confidential
    commercial or business information, the disclosure of which
    would adversely affect Oracle. In the event of the termination
    or resignation of a participant during fiscal year 2008, we may
    have the person who assumes the responsibilities of that
    participant assume the same bonus structure as that participant,
    but adjusted, as determined by the Compensation Committee, to
    take into account that such person did not serve in that
    capacity for the entire fiscal year.

 

    Payment of Awards.  All awards will be paid by
    August 15, 2008, unless a participant has requested to
    defer receipt of an award in accordance with the Oracle’s
    Deferred Compensation Plan.

 

    Maximum Award.  The amounts that will be paid
    pursuant to the Bonus Plan are not currently determinable. The
    maximum bonus payment that our Chief Executive Officer may
    receive under the Bonus Plan for fiscal year 2008 would be
    $10,893,000. The maximum bonus payment that any other
    participant may receive under the Bonus Plan for fiscal year
    2008 is based on a fixed multiple of a target bonus for such
    participant and would be less than the maximum bonus payment
    that our Chief Executive Officer may receive under the Bonus
    Plan.

 

    Amendment and Termination.  The Compensation
    Committee may terminate the Bonus Plan, in whole or in part,
    suspend the Bonus Plan, in whole or in part from time to time,
    and amend the Bonus Plan, from time to time, including the
    adoption of amendments deemed necessary or desirable to correct
    any defect or supply omitted data or reconcile any inconsistency
    in the Bonus Plan or in any award granted thereunder, so long as
    stockholder approval has been obtained, if required in order for
    awards under the Bonus Plan to qualify as
    “performance-based compensation” under
    Section 162(m) of the Code. The Compensation Committee may
    amend or modify the Bonus Plan in any respect, or terminate the
    Bonus Plan, without the consent of any affected participant.
    However, in no event may such amendment or modification result
    in an increase in the amount of compensation payable pursuant to
    any award.

 

    Termination of Employment.  In order to be
    eligible for an award under the Bonus Plan, a participant must
    be actively employed by us through the date of payment. If a
    participant’s employment with us terminates for any reason
    prior to such date of payment, the participant will not be
    eligible for any award under the Bonus Plan, and no award under
    the Bonus Plan will be paid to the participant (determined
    without regard to any election by a participant to defer receipt
    of an award).

 

    Federal Income Tax Consequences.  Under present
    federal income tax law, participants will realize ordinary
    income equal to the amount of the award received in the year of
    receipt. That income will be subject to applicable income and
    employment tax withholding by Oracle. In the event that a
    participant has requested to defer receipt of an award, FICA
    taxes will be applied in the year the award is deferred, and
    income tax withholding will be collected in the year of ultimate
    payment. We will receive a deduction for the amount constituting
    ordinary income to the participant, provided that the Bonus Plan
    satisfies the requirements of Section 162(m) of the Code,
    which limits the deductibility of nonperformance-related
    compensation paid to certain corporate executives, and otherwise
    satisfies the requirements for deductibility under federal
    income tax law.
