Date:

Dear                     ,

Please note that the Rambus Inc. offer to amend certain options (the “offer”) expired at 9:00 p.m. Pacific Time on November 15, 2007.

This is your final Election Confirmation Statement regarding the amendment of your mispriced options. This e-mail confirms Rambus’s acceptance of the mispriced options you elected to amend, or declined to amend, as applicable. In addition, this e-mail reflects any election that Rambus deemed not to be valid (for example, because it was submitted after the expiration of the offer).
