Safe Harbor
Safe harbor statement under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995: This presentation may contain forward-looking
statements that involve risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. If any such uncertainties materialize or if any of the assumptions proves
incorrect, the results of salesforce.com, inc. could differ materially from the results expressed or implied by the forward-looking
statements we make. All statements other than statements of historical fact could be deemed forward-looking, including any projections
of subscriber growth, earnings, revenues, or other financial items and any statements regarding strategies or plans of management for
future operations, statements of belief, any statements concerning new, planned, or upgraded services or technology developments and
customer contracts or use of our services.

The risks and uncertainties referred to above include – but are not limited to – risks associated with developing and delivering new
functionality for our service, our new business model, our past operating losses, possible fluctuations in our operating results and rate of
growth, interruptions or delays in our Web hosting, breach of our security measures, risks associated with possible mergers and
acquisitions, the immature market in which we operate, our relatively limited operating history, our ability to expand, retain, and motivate
our employees and manage our growth, new releases of our service and successful customer deployment, our limited history reselling
non-salesforce.com products, and utilization and selling to larger enterprise customers. Further information on potential factors that could
affect the financial results of salesforce.com, inc. is included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the most recent fiscal quarter ended
July 31, 2011. This document and others are available on the SEC Filings section of the Investor Information section of our Web site.
