WHEREAS, STMicroelectronics NV and STMicroelectronics, Inc. (collectively, Defendants) have requested or may request that Rambus produce to them certain documents containing information that may be considered confidential by certain third parties, including the documents listed in Exhibit A to the May 1, 2012 letter from David Pennington to Deirdre Digrande and Jonathan Link, attached hereto as Exhibit A (Exhibit A Documents); WHEREAS, Rambus has requested or may request the production by Defendants of certain documents containing information that may be considered confidential by certain third parties; WHEREAS, certain of those third parties have objected or may object to production of documents containing their potentially confidential information on the grounds that those documents merit designation as Outside Counsel Only; WHEREAS, the Amended Protective Order entered in this litigation does not provide for the designation of information as Outside Counsel Only; NOW, THEREFORE, Defendants and Rambus stipulate and agree as follows: 1. Documents sought to be produced by Defendants to Rambus or by Rambus

to Defendants containing the potentially confidential information of third parties where those third parties have consented to that production on the condition that the documents be granted Outside Counsel Only treatment (the Third Party Confidential Documents) shall be designated and treated as CONFIDENTIAL-OUTSIDE COUNSEL ONLY. The Third Party Confidential Documents may only be used for purposes of this case. In order to facilitate the prompt production of the Third Party Confidential Documents, the Third Party Confidential Documents may only be disseminated to outside counsel for the parties; their staffs; Experts (as that term is defined in the March 14, 2012 Amended Protective Order entered in these actions) who have executed the Agreement to be Bound by Protective Order in the form provided in Exhibit A to the March 14, 2012 Amended Protective Order; the Court and its personnel; court reporters and their staff; the author, or

Party Confidential Documents (e.g., in court hearings or at trial), to the extent such public disclosure is otherwise permitted by the terms of the Amended Protective Order in this action, the party intending to make such public disclosure shall provide opposing counsel and the affected third parties with advance notice sufficient to allow them time to take steps to protect the confidentiality of the information contained in the Third Party Confidential Documents. 3.
