The Honorable Ronald M. Whyte United States District Court Northern District of California, San Jose Division Courtroom 6, 4th Floor 280 S. First Street San Jose, CA 95113 Re: Rambus v. Hynix, et al., U.S.D.C. N.D. Cal., Case No.: CV-00-20905 RMW

Dear Judge Whyte: In its January 11, 2012 Order Taxing Costs Pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 39(e); . . . (Dkt No. 4115), the Court (among other things) lifted Hynixs obligation to maintain the supersedeas bond posted as security for the Courts Judgment of March 9, 2009. However, the sureties for the bond, Zurich American insurance Company and Fidelity Deposit Company of Maryland, were unwilling to discharge the bond unless they were assured that no party could seek any recourse against the sureties under the bond. Until the bond is fully discharged, Hynix remains obligated to collateralize the bond; as the Court is aware, this entails significant expense, as well as impairment of Hynixs assets. To that end, and in order to effectuate the purposes of the Courts January 11, 2012 Order, Hynix and Rambus entered into a Stipulation and [Proposed] Order Regarding Discharge of Supersedeas Bond Posted by Hynix Semiconductor Inc. The entry of this [Proposed] Order would be sufficient to satisfy the sureties such that the bond, and Hynixs underlying obligations, would be discharged. The Stipulation and [Proposed] Order was filed February 9, 2012 (Dkt. No. 4117); a copy is attached for your convenience. To date, this Stipulation and [Proposed] Order has not been entered by the Court; as a result, both the bond and the attendant collateral for the bond remain in place. It would be

greatly appreciated by the parties and the sureties if the Court would enter the Stipulation and [Proposed] Order at its earliest convenience. If the Court has any questions or concerns, counsel for the parties would be available at the Courts convenience. Very truly yours, KILPATRICK TOWNSEND & STOCKTON LLP
