In December 2013, we settled all pending litigation between us and Rambus, including all antitrust and patent matters.  As a result, other operating expense for 2014 included a $233 million charge to accrue a liability, which reflects the discounted value of amounts due under this arrangement. (See "Contingencies" note.)

Other operating expense for 2012 included $17 million from the termination of a lease with IMFT and $10 million to write off a receivable in connection with resolution of certain prior year tax matters.
