Just because I posted it in the past month...

which contains the following:
9.2 Termination (b) Rambus, at its option, may, in addition to any other remedies it may have, terminate this Agreement on written notice to Intel if (iv) at any time between January 15, 1997 and the Success Determination Date, Intel communicates to any of the then current top ten (10) DRAM manufacturers that Intel has plans to support, as the primary DRAM for PC main memory applications for the years 2000, 2001 and 2002, any New Interface other than the Rambus-D Interface Technology; or (v) at any time between January 15, 1997 and the Success Determination Date, the Intel senior member attending the quarterly Rambus/Intel executive meeting, upon Rambus' request, does not represent to the Rambus officers attending such meeting that the Rambus-D DRAM will be the primary DRAM for PC main memory applications for the years 2000, 2001 and 2002.
This should be a fun one to watch unfold. The Edgar filing doesn't mention the stick in this agreement, but I'm sure there must be one, or Intel would walk away. The end of 2002 is, er, years away.
