	II.	 AGREEMENT 



A. Grant. 
 The Company hereby
grants to Participant under the Plan an Award of Restricted Stock Units, subject to all of the terms and conditions in the Plan, the Notice of Grant, and this Agreement. 












 B. Company’s Obligation to Pay. 

Each Restricted Stock Unit represents the right to receive a Share on the date it vests. Unless and until the Restricted Stock Units will have
vested in the manner set forth in Section C, Participant will have no right to payment of any such Restricted Stock Units. Prior to actual payment of any vested Restricted Stock Units, such Restricted Stock Unit will represent an unsecured
obligation of the Company, payable (if at all) only from the general assets of the Company. 
 C. Vesting Schedule. 

Subject to Section D, the Restricted Stock Units awarded by this Agreement will vest in Participant according to the vesting schedule set forth
on the attached Notice of Grant, subject to Participant continuing to be a Service Provider through each such date. 
 D. Forfeiture upon
Termination of Status as a Service Provider. 
 Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, if Participant ceases to be a
Service Provider for any or no reason, the then-unvested Restricted Stock Units awarded by this Agreement will thereupon be forfeited at no cost to the Company and Participant will have no further rights thereunder. The date on which Participant
ceases to be a Service Provider shall not be extended by any notice of termination period or non-working garden leave established under the local law (including, but not limited to statutory law, regulatory
law, and/or common law) in the jurisdiction in which Participant resides or under the terms of Participant’s employment agreement, if any; such date will be considered the last date Participant is providing active services. The Administrator
shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when Participant is no longer actively providing services for purposes of his or her Award (including whether Participant may still be considered to be providing services while on an approved
leave of absence). 
 E. Payment after Vesting. 

Any Restricted Stock Units that vest in accordance with Section C will be paid to Participant (or, in the event of Participant’s
death, to his or her estate (or legal representative for Participants outside of the U.S.)) in whole Shares, subject to Participant satisfying any applicable Tax-Related Items withholding obligations (as
defined in Section G below). 












 F. Payments after Death. 

Any distribution or delivery to be made to Participant under this Agreement will, if Participant is then deceased, be made to
Participant’s designated beneficiary, or if no beneficiary (or legal representative for Participants outside of the U.S.) survives Participant, the administrator, executor or legal representative of Participant’s estate. Any such
transferee must furnish the Company with (a) written notice of his or her status as transferee, and (b) evidence satisfactory to the Company to establish the validity of the transfer and compliance with any laws or regulations pertaining
to said transfer. 
 G. Withholding of Taxes. 

1. Participant acknowledges that, regardless of any action taken by the Company or, if different, Participant’s employer (the
“Employer”), the ultimate liability for all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, fringe benefits tax, payment on account or other tax related items related to Participant’s participation in the Plan and legally applicable to
Participant (“Tax-Related Items”), is and remains Participant’s responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or the Employer. Participant further acknowledges that
the Company and/or the Employer (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Restricted Stock Units, including, but not
limited to, the grant, vesting or settlement of the Restricted Stock Units, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired pursuant to settlement and the receipt of any dividends; and (ii) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the
terms of the Award or any aspect of the Restricted Stock Units to reduce or eliminate Participant’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if Participant is subject
to Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction, Participant acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction. 
 2. Prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding
event, as applicable, Participant agrees to make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Employer to satisfy all Tax-Related Items. In this regard, Participant authorizes the Company or
its respective agents to satisfy the obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by withholding in Shares to be issued upon settlement of the Restricted Stock Units. In the event that such withholding in
Shares is problematic under the applicable tax or securities laws or has materially adverse accounting consequences, by Participant’s acceptance of the Restricted Stock Units, he or she authorizes and directs the Company and any brokerage firm
determined acceptable to the Company to sell on Participant’s behalf a whole number of Shares from those Shares issuable to Participant as the Company determines to be appropriate to generate cash proceeds sufficient to satisfy the obligation
for Tax-Related Items. 












 3. Depending on the withholding method, the Company may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable minimum statutory withholding amounts or other applicable withholding rates, including maximum applicable rates, in which case Participant will receive a refund of any
over-withheld amount in cash and will have no entitlement to the Common Stock equivalent. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in Shares, for tax purposes, Participant will be
deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares subject to the vested Restricted Stock Unit, notwithstanding that a number of the Shares are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related
Items. 
 4. Participant agrees to pay the Company, including through withholding from Participant’s wages or other cash compensation
paid to Participant by the Company and/or the Employer, any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company or the Employer may be required to withhold or account for as a result of Participant’s
participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Company may refuse to issue or deliver the Shares or the proceeds from the sales of the Shares, if Participant fails to comply with his or her obligations in
connection with the Tax-Related Items. 
 H. Nature of Grant. In accepting the Award,
Participant acknowledges, understands and agrees that: 
 1. the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in
nature and it may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time, to the extent permitted by the Plan; 
 2. the
grant of Restricted Stock Units is voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future Awards, or benefits in lieu of Restricted Stock Units, even if Restricted Stock Units have been granted in the past;

 3. all decisions with respect to the future Awards or other grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company; 

4. the Award grant and Participant’s participation in the Plan shall not create a right to employment or be interpreted as forming an
employment or service contract with the Company, the Employer or any Subsidiary or affiliate of the Company; 
 5. Participant is voluntarily
participating in the Plan; 
 6. the Restricted Stock Units and the Shares subject to the Restricted Stock Units, and the income and value of
same are not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation; 












 7. the Restricted Stock Units and the Shares subject to the Restricted Stock Units, and the
income and value of same, are not part of normal or expected compensation for purposes of calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, dismissal
end-of-service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement or welfare benefits or similar payments; 

8. the future value of the underlying Shares is unknown, indeterminable and cannot be predicted with certainty; 

9. no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of the Restricted Stock Units resulting from Participant
ceasing to provide employment or other services to the Company or the Employer (for any reason whatsoever, whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of employment law in the jurisdiction where Participant is employed or the terms of his
or her employment agreement, if any), and in consideration of the grant of the Restricted Stock Units to which Participant is otherwise not entitled, he or she irrevocably agrees never to institute any claim against the Company, any of its
Subsidiaries or affiliates or the Employer, waives his or her ability, if any, to bring any such claim, and releases the Company, its Subsidiaries and affiliates and the Employer from any such claim; if notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim
is allowed by a court of competent jurisdiction, then, by participating in the Plan, Participant shall be deemed irrevocably to have agreed not to pursue such claim and agrees to execute any and all documents necessary to request dismissal or
withdrawal of such claim; 
 10. unless otherwise provided in the Plan or by the Company in its discretion, the Award and the benefits
evidenced by this Agreement do not create any entitlement to have the Restricted Stock Units or any such benefits transferred to, or assumed by, another company not to be exchanged, cashed out or substituted for, in connection with any Change in
Control or other corporate transaction affecting the Shares of the Company; and 
 11. the following provisions apply if Participant is
providing services outside the United States: 
 (a) the Restricted Stock Units and the Shares subject to the Restricted Stock Units are not
part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purpose; 
 (b) Participant acknowledges and agrees that neither the Company, the
Employer nor any Subsidiary or affiliate of the Company shall be liable for any foreign exchange rate fluctuation between Participant’s local currency and the United States Dollar that may affect the value of the Restricted Stock Units or of
any amounts due to Participant pursuant to the settlement of the Restricted Stock Units or the subsequent sale of any Shares acquired upon settlement; 












 12. the Restricted Stock Units and the benefits under the Plan, if any, will not
automatically transfer to another company in the case of a merger, take-over or transfer of liability. 
 I. No Advice Regarding Grant. 

The Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations regarding Participant’s
participation in the Plan, or Participant’s acquisition or sale of the underlying Shares. Participant is hereby advised to consult with his or her own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding Participant’s participation in the
Plan before taking any action related to the Plan. 
 J. Data Privacy Notice and Consent. 

1. Participant hereby explicitly and unambiguously consents to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of
Participant’s personal data as described in this Agreement and any other Award of Restricted Stock Units materials by and among, as applicable, the Employer, the Company and its Subsidiaries and affiliates for the exclusive purpose of
implementing, administering and managing Participant’s participation in the Plan. 
 2. Participant understands that the
Company and the Employer may hold certain personal information about Participant, including, but not limited to, Participant’s name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number or other identification number,
salary, nationality, job title, any Shares or directorships held in the Company, details of all Restricted Stock Unit or any other entitlement to Shares awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in Participant’s favor, for
the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan (“Data”). 
 3. Participant understands
that Data will be transferred to E*Trade Financial, Inc. or to any other third party assisting in the implementation, administration and management of the Plan. Participant understands that the recipients of the Data may be located in the United
States or elsewhere, and that the recipients’ country (e.g., the United States) may have different data privacy laws and protections than Participant’s country. Participant understands that if Participant resides outside the United States,
Participant may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Data by contacting Participant’s local human resources representative. Participant authorizes the Company, E*Trade Financial, Inc. and any other
possible recipients which may assist the Company (presently or in the future) with implementing, administering and managing the Plan to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the sole purpose of
implementing, administering and managing Participant’s participation in the Plan. Participant understands that Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage Participant’s participation in the Plan.
Participant understands that if 












 
Participant resides outside the United States, Participant may, at any time, view Data, request additional information about the storage and processing of Data, require any necessary amendments
to Data or refuse or withdraw the consents herein, in any case without cost, by contacting in writing Participant’s local human resources representative. Further, Participant understands, however, that he or she is providing the consents herein
on a purely voluntary basis. If Participant does not consent, or if Participant later seeks to revoke his or her consent, Participant’s employment status or service and career with the Employer will not be adversely affected; the only adverse
consequence of refusing or withdrawing Participant’s consent is that the Company would not be able to grant Participant Restricted Stock Units or other equity awards or administer or maintain such awards. Therefore, Participant understands that
refusing or withdrawing his or her consent may affect his or her ability to participate in the Plan. For more information on the consequences of Participant’s refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent, Participant understands that he or she
may contact Participant’s local human resources representative. 
 K. Rights as Stockholder. 

Neither Participant nor any person claiming under or through Participant will have any of the rights or privileges of a stockholder of the
Company in respect of any Shares deliverable hereunder, unless and until certificates representing such Shares will have been issued, recorded on the records of the Company or its transfer agents or registrars, and delivered to Participant. 

L. No Effect on Service. 

Participant acknowledges and agrees that the vesting of the Restricted Stock Units pursuant to Section C hereof is earned only by
Participant continuing to be a Service Provider through the applicable vesting dates (and not through the act of being hired or acquiring Shares hereunder). Participant further acknowledges and agrees that this Agreement, the transactions
contemplated hereunder and the vesting schedule set forth herein do not constitute an express or implied promise of Participant continuing to be a Service Provider for the vesting period, for any period, or at all, and will not interfere with
Participant’s right or the right of the Company (or the Parent or Subsidiary employing or retaining Participant) to terminate Participant’s status as a Service Provider at any time, with or without cause. 

M. Address for Notices. 
 Any
notice to be given to the Company under the terms of this Agreement will be addressed to the Company at Rambus Inc., 1050 Enterprise Way, Suite 700, Sunnyvale, CA 94089, or at such other address as the Company may hereafter designate in

Except to the limited extent provided in Section F, this grant and the rights and privileges conferred hereby will not be transferred,
assigned, pledged or hypothecated in any way (whether by operation of law or otherwise) and will not be subject to sale under execution, attachment or similar process. Upon any attempt to transfer, assign, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of
this grant, or any right or privilege conferred hereby, or upon any attempted sale under any execution, attachment or similar process, this grant and the rights and privileges conferred hereby immediately will become null and void.

any local, state, federal or foreign securities or exchange control law or under rulings or regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) or of any other governmental regulatory body, or prior to obtaining any approval
or other clearance from any local, state, federal or foreign governmental agency, which registration, qualification or approval the Company shall, in its absolute discretion, deem necessary or advisable. Participant understands that the Company is
under no obligation to register or qualify the shares with the SEC or any state or foreign securities commission or to seek approval or clearance from any governmental authority for the issuance or sale of the Shares. Further, Participant agrees
that the Company shall have unilateral authority to amend the Plan and the Agreement without Participant’s consent to the extent necessary to comply with securities or other laws applicable to issuance of Shares. 

Q. Plan Governs.

and determinations made by the Administrator in good faith will be final and binding upon Participant, the Company and all other interested persons. No member of the Administrator will be personally liable for any action, determination or
interpretation made in good faith with respect to the Plan or this Agreement.

U. Agreement Severable.

not accepting this Agreement in reliance on any promises, representations, or inducements other than those contained herein. Modifications to this Agreement or the Plan can be made only in an express written contract executed by a duly authorized
officer of the Company. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan or this Agreement, the Company reserves the right to revise this Agreement as it deems necessary or advisable, in its sole discretion and without the consent of
Participant, to comply with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) or to otherwise avoid imposition of any additional tax or income recognition under Section 409A of the Code in connection to

RAMBUS INC.

INDUCEMENT EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN 
 RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT 

This Exhibit A includes additional terms and conditions that govern the Award of Restricted Stock Units to Participant if he or she resides in one of the
countries listed herein. This Exhibit A forms part of the Agreement. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Agreement and the Plan. 

This Exhibit A also includes information regarding exchange controls and certain other issues of which Participant should be aware with respect to
Participant’s participation in the Plan. The information is based on the securities, exchange control and other laws in effect in the respective countries as of May 2015. Such laws are often complex and change frequently. As a result, the
Company strongly recommends that Participant not rely on the information noted herein as the only source of information relating to the consequences of Participant’s participation in the Plan because the information may be out of date at the
time Participant vests in the Restricted Stock Units or sell the Shares acquired under the Plan. 
 In addition, the information contained herein is general
in nature and may not apply to Participant’s particular situation, and the Company is not in a position to assure Participant of any particular result. Accordingly, Participant is advised to seek appropriate professional advice as to how the
relevant laws in Participant’s country may apply to Participant’s situation. 
 Finally, if Participant is a citizen or resident of a country
other than the one in which Participant is currently residing or transfers employment after the grant date, the information contained herein may not be applicable to Participant.

 The following provisions apply if Participant is in Quebec: 

Consent to Receive Information in English. The parties acknowledge that it is their express wish that the Agreement, as well as all documents, notices
and legal proceedings entered into, given or instituted pursuant hereto or relating directly or indirectly hereto, be drawn up in English.

 Participant hereby authorizes
the Company and the Company’s representatives to discuss and obtain all relevant information from all personnel, professional or non-professional, involved in the administration of the Plan. Participant
further authorizes the Company, the Employer, any Subsidiary or affiliate and the Company’s designated broker/third party administrator for the Plan (or such other stock plan service provider that may be selected by the Company to assist with
the implementation, administration and management of the Plan) to disclose and discuss such information with their advisors. Participant also authorizes the Company, the Employer and/or any Subsidiary or affiliate to record such information and to
keep such information in Participant’s employment file. 












 Notifications 

Securities Law Notification. Participant is permitted to sell Shares acquired through the Plan through the designated broker appointed under the Plan,
if any (or any other broker acceptable to the Company), provided the resale of Shares acquired under the Plan takes place outside of Canada through the facilities of a stock exchange on which the Shares are listed. The Shares are currently listed on
the Nasdaq Global Select Market. 
 Foreign Asset / Account Reporting Notification. Foreign property, including Shares and rights to receive Shares
(e.g., Restricted Stock Units), must be reported annually on a Form T1135 (Foreign Income Verification Statement) if the total cost of the foreign property exceeds CAD 100,000 at any time during the year. Thus, Restricted Stock Units must be
reported—generally at a nil cost—if the CAD 100,000 cost threshold is exceeded because of other foreign property. When Shares are acquired, their cost generally is the adjusted cost base (“ACB”) of the Shares. The ACB would
ordinarily equal the fair market value of the Shares at the time of acquisition, but if other Shares are also owned, this ACB may have to be averaged with the ACB of the other Shares.
