<div style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;"><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:left;text-indent:18px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Contract and Other Revenue</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:left;text-indent:18px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Rambus generally recognizes revenue using percentage of completion for development contracts related to licenses of its solutions that involve significant engineering and integration services. For agreements accounted for using the percentage-of-completion method, Rambus determines progress to completion using input measures based upon contract costs incurred. Part of these contract fees may be due upon the achievement of certain milestones, such as provision of certain deliverables by Rambus or production of chips by the customer. The remaining fees may be due on pre-determined dates and include significant up-front fees.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:left;text-indent:18px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">A provision for estimated losses on fixed price contracts is made, if necessary, in the period in which the loss becomes probable and can be reasonably estimated. If the Company determines that it is necessary to revise the estimates of the total costs required to complete a contract, the total amount of revenue recognized over the life of the contract would not be affected. However, to the extent the new assumptions regarding the total efforts necessary to complete a project are less than the original assumptions, the contract fees would be recognized sooner than originally expected. Conversely, if the newly estimated total efforts necessary to complete a project are longer than the original assumptions, the contract fees will be recognized over a longer period.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:left;text-indent:18px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Rambus recognizes revenue from the sale of LED edge-lit products when risk of loss and title have transferred to customers, provided all other revenue recognition criteria have been met. Revenue from distributors is recognized on the shipment or delivery of the related products, provided all other revenue recognition criteria have been met. The Company's agreements with these distributors have terms which are generally consistent with the standard terms and conditions for the sale of the Company's products to end users, and do not provide for product rotation or pricing allowances. The Company accrues for warranty based on the standard market experience.</font></div></div>

The terms of the royalty agreements generally either require customers to give Rambus notification and to pay the royalties within </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;text-decoration:none;">60 days</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> of the end of the quarter during which the sales occur or are based on a fixed royalty that is due within </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;text-decoration:none;">45 days</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> of the end of the quarter. Many of Rambus&#8217; customers have the right to cancel their licenses. In such arrangements, revenue is only recognized to the extent that is consistent with the cancellation provisions. Cancellation provisions within such contracts generally provide for a prospective cancellation with no refund of fees already remitted by customers for products provided and payment for services rendered prior to the date of cancellation. Rambus has </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;text-decoration:none;">two</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> types of royalty revenue: (1)&#160;patent license royalties and (2)&#160;solutions license royalties.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:left;text-indent:18px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Patent licenses - Rambus licenses its broad portfolio of patented inventions to companies who use these inventions in the development and manufacture of their own products. Such licensing agreements may cover the license of part, or all, of Rambus' patent portfolio. The contractual terms of the agreements generally provide for payments over an extended period of time. For the licensing agreements with fixed royalty payments, Rambus generally recognizes revenue from these arrangements as amounts become due. For the licensing agreements with variable royalty payments which can be based on either a percentage of sales or number of units sold, Rambus earns royalties at the time that the customers&#8217; sales occur. Rambus&#8217; customers, however, do not report and pay royalties owed for sales in any given quarter until after the conclusion of that quarter. As Rambus is unable to estimate the customers&#8217; sales in any given quarter to determine the royalties due to Rambus, it recognizes royalty revenues based on royalties reported by customers during the quarter and when other revenue recognition criteria are met. </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:left;text-indent:18px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">In addition, Rambus may enter into certain settlements of patent infringement disputes. The amount of consideration received upon any settlement (including but not limited to past royalty payments, future royalty payments and punitive damages) is allocated to each element of the settlement based on the fair value of each element. In addition, revenues related to past royalties are recognized upon execution of the agreement by both parties, provided that the amounts are fixed or determinable, there are no significant undelivered obligations and collectability is reasonably assured. Rambus does not recognize any revenues prior to execution of the agreement since there is no reliable basis on which it can estimate the amounts for royalties related to previous periods or assess collectability. Elements that are related to royalty revenue in nature (including but not limited to past royalty payments and future royalty payments) will be recorded as royalty revenue in the consolidated statements of operations. Elements that are not related to royalty revenue in nature (including but not limited to punitive damage and settlement) will be recorded as gain from settlement which is reflected as a separate line item within the operating expenses section in the consolidated statements of operations.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:left;text-indent:18px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Solutions licenses - Rambus develops proprietary and industry-standard products that it provides to its customers under solutions license agreements. These arrangements include royalties, which can be based on either a percentage of sales or number of units sold. Rambus earns royalties on such licensed products sold worldwide by its customers at the time that the customers&#8217; sales occur. Rambus&#8217; customers, however, do not report and pay royalties owed for sales in any given quarter until after the conclusion of that quarter. As Rambus is unable to estimate the customers&#8217; sales in any given quarter to determine the royalties due to Rambus, it recognizes royalty revenues based on royalties reported by customers during the quarter and when other revenue recognition criteria are met. </font></div></div>
