 ARTICLE I 
 EXERCISE OF WARRANT 
 1.1 Method of
Exercise. To exercise this Warrant in whole or in part, the Holder shall deliver to the Company at the Warrant Office (i) this Warrant together with the subscription notice attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Subscription
Notice”) filled out and duly executed by the Holder indicating the Holder’s election to exercise this Warrant and specifying the number of shares of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock to be purchased; and (ii) a certified
or bank cashier’s check payable to the order of the Company in an amount equal to the aggregate Warrant Price for the number of shares of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock being purchased. Subject to the restrictions provided herein,
the Company shall as promptly as practicable, and in any event within 14 days thereafter, execute and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered, in accordance with the Subscription Notice, a single certificate in the name of the Holder
representing the aggregate number of shares of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock specified in the Subscription Notice. Such certificate shall be deemed to have been issued, and the Holder shall be deemed for all purposes to have become a
holder of record of such shares, as of the date the Subscription Notice is actually received by the Company with payment as provided above. If this Warrant shall have been exercised only in part, the Company shall, at the time of delivery of such
certificate or certificates, deliver to the Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder to purchase the remaining shares of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other
respects be identical with this Warrant, or at the request of the Holder, appropriate notation may be made on this Warrant and the same returned to the Holder. The Company shall pay all expenses, taxes and other charges payable in connection with
the preparation, issuance and delivery of such stock certificates and new Warrants. 
 1.2 Right to Convert Warrant into Stock: Net

 (a) Right to Convert. In addition to and without limiting the rights of the Holder under the

terms of this Warrant, the Holder shall have the right to convert this Warrant or any portion hereof into shares of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock
as provided in this Section 1.2 at any time that this Warrant is otherwise exercisable during the term of this Warrant (the “Conversion Right”). Upon exercise of the Conversion Right, the Company shall deliver to the Holder
(without payment by the Holder of the Warrant Price) that number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock equal to the quotient of (i) the number of shares of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock
purchasable under this Warrant (or the portion thereof being exercised); multiplied by the difference of (A) the Fair Market Value of one (1) share of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock; minus (B) the Warrant Price; divided by
(ii) the Fair Market Value of one (1) share of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock. 
 (b) Method of Exercise. The
Conversion Right may be exercised by the Holder by the surrender of this Warrant, at the Warrant Office, together with the Subscription Notice specifying that the Holder thereby intends to exercise the Conversion Right and indicating the number of
shares of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock with respect to which the Holder intends to exercise this Warrant. The Holder shall also deliver therewith additional consideration, if any, such that the aggregate consideration received by the
Company in respect of any shares of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock is at least equal to the par value of the shares of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock. The conversion shall be effective on the date which is the later of
(i) receipt by the Company of the items described above; or (ii) a date specified in the Holder’s notice to the Company. 
 1.3 No Fractional Shares to be Issued. The Company shall not be required upon any exercise or conversion of this Warrant to issue a certificate representing any fraction of a share, but, in lieu thereof, may pay to the Holder cash in
an amount equal to a corresponding fraction (calculated to the nearest 1/100th of a share) of the Fair Market Value of one share of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock as of the date of receipt by the Company of notice of exercise of this
Warrant. 
 1.4 Legend on Shares. Each certificate for shares of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock initially issued upon
exercise of this Warrant, unless at the time of exercise such shares of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock are registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”) and applicable state securities laws, shall
bear a legend in substantially the following form (and any additional legend required by law or by any securities exchange upon which such shares of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock may, at the time of such exercise, be listed): 

THE ISSUANCE OF THE SHARES EVIDENCED HEREBY WAS NOT REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR UNDER ANY STATE OR OTHER SECURITIES
LAWS. NEITHER THE SHARES NOR ANY INTEREST THEREIN MAY BE OFFERED, SOLD, TRANSFERRED, ASSIGNED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF EXCEPT (I) PURSUANT TO EFFECTIVE REGISTRATIONS UNDER APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS OR (II) UPON DELIVERY TO THE CORPORATION OF
AN OPINION OF COUNSEL (OR OTHER EVIDENCE SATISFACTORY TO THE CORPORATION) ACCEPTABLE TO THE CORPORATION, THAT THE PROPOSED DISPOSITION MAY BE EFFECTED IN COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS WITHOUT REGISTRATION. 
 THE CORPORATION WILL FURNISH WITHOUT CHARGE TO EACH STOCKHOLDER WHO SO REQUESTS, A FULL SUMMARY OR STATEMENT OF ALL OF THE POWERS, DESIGNATIONS,
PREFERENCES AND RELATIVE, PARTICIPATING, OPTIONAL, OR OTHER SPECIAL RIGHTS OF EACH CLASS OF STOCK OR SERIES THEREOF AND THE QUALIFICATIONS, LIMITATIONS OR RESTRICTIONS OF SUCH POWERS, PREFERENCES AND/OR RIGHTS. ANY SUCH REQUEST SHOULD BE ADDRESSED
TO THE SECRETARY OF THE CORPORATION. 
 Any certificate issued at any time in exchange or substitution for any certificate bearing such legend (except a new
certificate issued upon completion of a public distribution pursuant to a registration statement which has become effective under the Act of the securities represented thereby) shall also bear such legend unless, in the opinion of such counsel as
shall be approved by the Company, the securities represented thereby need no longer be subject to the restrictions contained in Article III. The provisions of Article III shall be binding upon all subsequent holders of this Warrant.

 1.5 Automatic Exercise. Immediately before the expiration or termination of this Warrant, to the
extent this Warrant is not previously exercised, and if the Fair Market Value of one share of whichever is applicable of either (i) the Preferred Stock subject to this Warrant or (ii) the Company’s Common Stock issuable upon
conversion of the Preferred Stock subject to this Warrant, is greater than the Warrant Price, then in effect as adjusted pursuant to this Warrant, then this Warrant shall be deemed automatically exercised pursuant to Section 1.2(a) above, even
if not surrendered. To the extent this Warrant or any portion thereof is deemed automatically exercised pursuant to this Section, the Company agrees to promptly notify the Holder of the number of shares of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock,
if any, the holder hereof is to receive by reason of such automatic exercise. 
 1.6 Registration Rights Agreement. In connection with
any exercise of this Warrant, the parties will enter into and become bound by the terms and conditions of the registration rights agreement between the Company and the holders of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock. 
 1.7 Stockholders’ Agreement. In connection with any exercise of this Warrant, the Company may require that the Holder enter into and become
bound by the terms and conditions of any stockholders’ agreement by and among the Company and the stockholders of the Company, provided such terms and conditions are applied to Holder in the same manner as any other stockholder of the Company.
Company, within thirty days of Grant Date, and within thirty days of any subsequent revisions to stockholders’ agreement, shall deliver to Holder each stockholders’ agreement as amended and restated from time to time.

the conditions specified in this Article III, which conditions are intended, among other things, to enable compliance with the provisions of the Act and applicable state securities laws in respect of the transfer of such Warrant or transfer of such
shares of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock. The Holder of this Warrant, by acceptance hereof, agrees not to: (i) transfer this Warrant prior to delivery to the Company of an opinion of counsel or other evidence (as such opinion and
such counsel or other evidence are described in Section 3.2); or (ii) transfer such shares of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock prior to delivery to the Company of the opinion of counsel or other evidence (as such opinion and such

 ADJUSTMENTS 
 4.1 Conversion of All
Series E Convertible Preferred Stock. 
 (a) Number of Shares. In the event that all of the Company’s Series E
Convertible Preferred Stock are converted into Common Stock pursuant to the Certificate of Incorporation (the “Conversion Event”), then the number of shares of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock available for exercise

hereunder immediately prior to such Conversion Event. 
 (b) Warrant Price. Upon the occurrence of a Conversion Event, then the
Warrant Price shall equal the quotient obtained by dividing: (i) the original Warrant Price; by (ii) the number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock that one (1) share of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock, outstanding
immediately prior to such Conversion Event, would have been converted into subsequent to such Conversion Event.

 4.2 Effect of Stock Splits, Reverse Stock Splits and Stock Dividends. In case at any time or from
time to time while this Warrant remains outstanding the Company shall, by reclassification, by stock split or reverse stock split, by the issuance of a stock dividend on shares for which this Warrant is then exercisable payable in such shares, or by
other similar means, subdivide or combine the shares of stock for which this Warrant is then exercisable into a greater or lesser number of such shares, then the number of shares which may be purchased hereunder shall be increased or decreased
proportionately (as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company) effective upon consummation of such reclassification, stock split or reverse stock split or stock dividend. When any adjustment is required to the number of shares for which
this Warrant is exercisable hereunder, the Warrant Price shall be decreased or increased proportionately (as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company) effective upon such adjustment. 
 4.3 Effect of Merger or Consolidation. In case the Company shall, while this Warrant remains outstanding, (i) enter into any consolidation
with or merger into any other corporation wherein the Company is not the surviving corporation, or wherein securities of a corporation other than the Company are distributable to holders of the shares of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock, or
(ii) sell or convey its property as an entirety or substantially as an entirety, then in connection with such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance, lawful and adequate provision, as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company
(which may determine, in good faith, that no provision is required), shall be made whereby the Holder shall thereafter be entitled to purchase, pursuant to this Warrant (in lieu of the shares of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock such Holder
would have been entitled to purchase immediately prior to such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance), the shares of stock or other securities or property to which the number of shares of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock would have been
entitled at the time of such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance, at an aggregate Warrant Price equal to that which would have been payable if all shares of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock had been purchased by exercise of this
Warrant immediately prior thereto. 
 4.4 Reorganization or Reclassification. In case of any capital reorganization or any
reclassification of the capital stock of the Company (except as provided in Section 4.2) while this Warrant remains outstanding, then, as a condition of such capital reorganization or reclassification, lawful and adequate provision, as
determined by the Board of Directors of the Company (which may determine, in good faith, that no provision is required), shall be made whereby the Holder shall thereafter be entitled to purchase, pursuant to this Warrant (in lieu of the shares of
Series E Convertible Preferred Stock which such Holder would have been entitled to purchase immediately prior to such reorganization or reclassification), the shares of stock of any class or classes or other securities or property to which the
number of shares of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock would have been entitled at the time of such reorganization or reclassification, at an aggregate Warrant Price equal to that which would have been payable if all shares of Series E
Convertible Preferred Stock had been purchased immediately prior to such reorganization or reclassification. 
 4.5 Statement of
Adjustment. Upon each adjustment of the number of shares of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock hereunder, and in the event of any change in the rights of the Holder by reason of other events herein set forth, then, and in each case, the
Company will promptly prepare a schedule setting forth the adjusted number of shares of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock, or specifying the other shares of stock, securities or assets and the amount thereof receivable as a result of such
change in rights, and setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts upon which such calculation is based. The Company will promptly mail a copy of such schedule to the Holder. In the event of any such adjustment, the
Holder shall cooperate with the Company and may be required, as a condition of effectiveness of such adjustment for such Holder, to execute and deliver to the Company such instruments and documents as may be reasonably requested by the Company to
effect such adjustment and by which the Holder would acknowledge such adjustment. 
 4.6 Notifications by the Company. In case at any
time the Board of Directors of the Company authorizes any of the following and fixes a record or distribution date therefore: 
 (a) the
payment of any dividend payable in stock (of any class or classes) or in convertible securities upon the Series E Convertible Preferred Stock or the making of any distribution to the holders of outstanding Series E Convertible Preferred
Stock; 
 (b) the making of any capital reorganization or reclassification of the capital stock of the Company, or consolidation or merger of
the Company with, or sale or transfer of all or substantially all of its assets to, another corporation; or 
  

					
	RUBICON TECHNOLOGY, INC.	  	-5-	  	WARRANT NO. 29

 (c) a voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Company; 
 then, in any one or more such cases, the Company shall give notice as provided herein to the Holder of such record or distribution date. Such notice shall also specify
the date (the “Participation Date”) as of which the holders of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock of record shall participate in such dividend, distribution or subscription rights, or shall be entitled to vote on or exchange
their shares of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale or transfer of assets, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up, as the case
may be. Such notice shall be given not less than 5 days and not more than 60 days prior to the Participation Date and such notice may state that any such action remains subject to conditions, which conditions shall be generally described in such
notice.

the Company shall as promptly as practicable, and in any event within 14 days thereafter, execute and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered, in accordance with the Subscription Notice, a single certificate in the name of the Holder
representing the aggregate number of shares of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock specified in the Subscription Notice. Such certificate shall be deemed to have been issued, and the Holder shall be deemed for all purposes to have become a
holder of record of such shares, as of the date the Subscription Notice is actually received by the Company with payment as provided above. If this Warrant shall have been exercised only in part, the Company shall, at the time of delivery of such
certificate or certificates, deliver to the Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder to purchase the remaining shares of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other
respects be identical with this Warrant, or at the request of the Holder, appropriate notation may be made on this Warrant and the same returned to the Holder. The Company shall pay all expenses, taxes and other charges payable in connection with
the preparation, issuance and delivery of such stock certificates and new Warrants. 
 1.2 Right to Convert Warrant into Stock: Net
Issuance. 
 (a) Right to Convert. In addition to and without limiting the rights of the Holder under the 
  

					
	RUBICON TECHNOLOGY, INC.	  	-1-	  	WARRANT NO. 30

 
terms of this Warrant, the Holder shall have the right to convert this Warrant or any portion hereof into shares of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock
as provided in this Section 1.2 at any time that this Warrant is otherwise exercisable during the term of this Warrant (the “Conversion Right”). Upon exercise of the Conversion Right, the Company shall deliver to the Holder
(without payment by the Holder of the Warrant Price) that number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock equal to the quotient of (i) the number of shares of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock
purchasable under this Warrant (or the portion thereof being exercised); multiplied by the difference of (A) the Fair Market Value of one (1) share of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock; minus (B) the Warrant Price; divided by
(ii) the Fair Market Value of one (1) share of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock. 
 (b) Method of Exercise. The
Conversion Right may be exercised by the Holder by the surrender of this Warrant, at the Warrant Office, together with the Subscription Notice specifying that the Holder thereby intends to exercise the Conversion Right and indicating the number of
shares of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock with respect to which the Holder intends to exercise this Warrant. The Holder shall also deliver therewith additional consideration, if any, such that the aggregate consideration received by the
Company in respect of any shares of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock is at least equal to the par value of the shares of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock. The conversion shall be effective on the date which is the later of
(i) receipt by the Company of the items described above; or (ii) a date specified in the Holder’s notice to the Company. 
 1.3 No Fractional Shares to be Issued. The Company shall not be required upon any exercise or conversion of this Warrant to issue a certificate representing any fraction of a share, but, in lieu thereof, may pay to the Holder cash in
an amount equal to a corresponding fraction (calculated to the nearest 1/100th of a share) of the Fair Market Value of one share of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock as of the date of receipt by the Company of notice of exercise of this
Warrant. 
 1.4 Legend on Shares. Each certificate for shares of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock initially issued upon
exercise of this Warrant, unless at the time of exercise such shares of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock are registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”) and applicable state securities laws, shall
bear a legend in substantially the following form (and any additional legend required by law or by any securities exchange upon which such shares of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock may, at the time of such exercise, be listed): 

THE ISSUANCE OF THE SHARES EVIDENCED HEREBY WAS NOT REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR UNDER ANY STATE OR OTHER SECURITIES
LAWS. NEITHER THE SHARES NOR ANY INTEREST THEREIN MAY BE OFFERED, SOLD, TRANSFERRED, ASSIGNED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF EXCEPT (I) PURSUANT TO EFFECTIVE REGISTRATIONS UNDER APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS OR (II) UPON DELIVERY TO THE CORPORATION OF
AN OPINION OF COUNSEL (OR OTHER EVIDENCE SATISFACTORY TO THE CORPORATION) ACCEPTABLE TO THE CORPORATION, THAT THE PROPOSED DISPOSITION MAY BE EFFECTED IN COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS WITHOUT REGISTRATION. 
 THE CORPORATION WILL FURNISH WITHOUT CHARGE TO EACH STOCKHOLDER WHO SO REQUESTS, A FULL SUMMARY OR STATEMENT OF ALL OF THE POWERS, DESIGNATIONS,
PREFERENCES AND RELATIVE, PARTICIPATING, OPTIONAL, OR OTHER SPECIAL RIGHTS OF EACH CLASS OF STOCK OR SERIES THEREOF AND THE QUALIFICATIONS, LIMITATIONS OR RESTRICTIONS OF SUCH POWERS, PREFERENCES AND/OR RIGHTS. ANY SUCH REQUEST SHOULD BE ADDRESSED
TO THE SECRETARY OF THE CORPORATION. 
 Any certificate issued at any time in exchange or substitution for any certificate bearing such legend (except a new
certificate issued upon completion of a public distribution pursuant to a registration statement which has become effective under the Act of the securities represented thereby) shall also bear such legend unless, in the opinion of such counsel as
shall be approved by the Company, the securities represented thereby need no longer be subject to the restrictions contained in Article III. The provisions of Article III shall be binding upon all subsequent holders of this Warrant. 
  

					
	RUBICON TECHNOLOGY, INC.	  	-2-	  	WARRANT NO. 30

 1.5 Automatic Exercise. Immediately before the expiration or termination of this Warrant, to the
extent this Warrant is not previously exercised, and if the Fair Market Value of one share of whichever is applicable of either (i) the Preferred Stock subject to this Warrant or (ii) the Company’s Common Stock issuable upon
conversion of the Preferred Stock subject to this Warrant, is greater than the Warrant Price, then in effect as adjusted pursuant to this Warrant, then this Warrant shall be deemed automatically exercised pursuant to Section 1.2(a) above, even
if not surrendered. To the extent this Warrant or any portion thereof is deemed automatically exercised pursuant to this Section, the Company agrees to promptly notify the Holder of the number of shares of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock,
if any, the holder hereof is to receive by reason of such automatic exercise. 
 1.6 Registration Rights Agreement. In connection with
any exercise of this Warrant, the parties will enter into and become bound by the terms and conditions of the registration rights agreement between the Company and the holders of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock. 
 1.7 Stockholders’ Agreement. In connection with any exercise of this Warrant, the Company may require that the Holder enter into and become
bound by the terms and conditions of any stockholders’ agreement by and among the Company and the stockholders of the Company, provided such terms and conditions are applied to Holder in the same manner as any other stockholder of the Company.
Company, within thirty days of Grant Date, and within thirty days of any subsequent revisions to stockholders’ agreement, shall deliver to Holder each stockholders’ agreement as amended and restated from time to time. 
 1.8 Information. Notwithstanding Section 1.7 above, beginning on the date whereby Company no longer has any indebtedness owed to Holder under
any Loan and Security Agreement or Revolver or Other Agreement, and until the earlier of the Expiration Date or the tenth anniversary of the Grant Date, Company shall cause to be furnished to Holder, (i) the audited fiscal year end financial

the conditions specified in this Article III, which conditions are intended, among other things, to enable compliance with the provisions of the Act and applicable state securities laws in respect of the transfer of such Warrant or transfer of such
shares of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock. The Holder of this Warrant, by acceptance hereof, agrees not to: (i) transfer this Warrant prior to delivery to the Company of an opinion of counsel or other evidence (as such opinion and
such counsel or other evidence are described in Section 3.2); or (ii) transfer such shares of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock prior to delivery to the Company of the opinion of counsel or other evidence (as such opinion and such

 ADJUSTMENTS 
 4.1 Conversion of All
Series E Convertible Preferred Stock. 
 (a) Number of Shares. In the event that all of the Company’s Series E
Convertible Preferred Stock are converted into Common Stock pursuant to the Certificate of Incorporation (the “Conversion Event”), then the number of shares of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock available for exercise
hereunder shall equal the number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock that would have been received by the Holder had such Holder exercised this Warrant with respect to all shares of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock available
hereunder immediately prior to such Conversion Event. 
 (b) Warrant Price. Upon the occurrence of a Conversion Event, then the
Warrant Price shall equal the quotient obtained by dividing: (i) the original Warrant Price; by (ii) the number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock that one (1) share of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock, outstanding
immediately prior to such Conversion Event, would have been converted into subsequent to such Conversion Event. 
  

					
	RUBICON TECHNOLOGY, INC.	  	-4-	  	WARRANT NO. 30

 4.2 Effect of Stock Splits, Reverse Stock Splits and Stock Dividends. In case at any time or from
time to time while this Warrant remains outstanding the Company shall, by reclassification, by stock split or reverse stock split, by the issuance of a stock dividend on shares for which this Warrant is then exercisable payable in such shares, or by
other similar means, subdivide or combine the shares of stock for which this Warrant is then exercisable into a greater or lesser number of such shares, then the number of shares which may be purchased hereunder shall be increased or decreased
proportionately (as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company) effective upon consummation of such reclassification, stock split or reverse stock split or stock dividend. When any adjustment is required to the number of shares for which
this Warrant is exercisable hereunder, the Warrant Price shall be decreased or increased proportionately (as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company) effective upon such adjustment. 
 4.3 Effect of Merger or Consolidation. In case the Company shall, while this Warrant remains outstanding, (i) enter into any consolidation
with or merger into any other corporation wherein the Company is not the surviving corporation, or wherein securities of a corporation other than the Company are distributable to holders of the shares of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock, or
(ii) sell or convey its property as an entirety or substantially as an entirety, then in connection with such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance, lawful and adequate provision, as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company
(which may determine, in good faith, that no provision is required), shall be made whereby the Holder shall thereafter be entitled to purchase, pursuant to this Warrant (in lieu of the shares of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock such Holder
would have been entitled to purchase immediately prior to such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance), the shares of stock or other securities or property to which the number of shares of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock would have been
entitled at the time of such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance, at an aggregate Warrant Price equal to that which would have been payable if all shares of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock had been purchased by exercise of this
Warrant immediately prior thereto. 
 4.4 Reorganization or Reclassification. In case of any capital reorganization or any
reclassification of the capital stock of the Company (except as provided in Section 4.2) while this Warrant remains outstanding, then, as a condition of such capital reorganization or reclassification, lawful and adequate provision, as
determined by the Board of Directors of the Company (which may determine, in good faith, that no provision is required), shall be made whereby the Holder shall thereafter be entitled to purchase, pursuant to this Warrant (in lieu of the shares of
Series E Convertible Preferred Stock which such Holder would have been entitled to purchase immediately prior to such reorganization or reclassification), the shares of stock of any class or classes or other securities or property to which the
number of shares of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock would have been entitled at the time of such reorganization or reclassification, at an aggregate Warrant Price equal to that which would have been payable if all shares of Series E
Convertible Preferred Stock had been purchased immediately prior to such reorganization or reclassification. 
 4.5 Statement of
Adjustment. Upon each adjustment of the number of shares of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock hereunder, and in the event of any change in the rights of the Holder by reason of other events herein set forth, then, and in each case, the
Company will promptly prepare a schedule setting forth the adjusted number of shares of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock, or specifying the other shares of stock, securities or assets and the amount thereof receivable as a result of such
change in rights, and setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts upon which such calculation is based. The Company will promptly mail a copy of such schedule to the Holder. In the event of any such adjustment, the
Holder shall cooperate with the Company and may be required, as a condition of effectiveness of such adjustment for such Holder, to execute and deliver to the Company such instruments and documents as may be reasonably requested by the Company to
effect such adjustment and by which the Holder would acknowledge such adjustment. 
 4.6 Notifications by the Company. In case at any
time the Board of Directors of the Company authorizes any of the following and fixes a record or distribution date therefore: 
 (a) the
payment of any dividend payable in stock (of any class or classes) or in convertible securities upon the Series E Convertible Preferred Stock or the making of any distribution to the holders of outstanding Series E Convertible Preferred
Stock; 
 (b) the making of any capital reorganization or reclassification of the capital stock of the Company, or consolidation or merger of
the Company with, or sale or transfer of all or substantially all of its assets to, another corporation; or 
  

					
	RUBICON TECHNOLOGY, INC.	  	-5-	  	WARRANT NO. 30

 (c) a voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Company; 
 then, in any one or more such cases, the Company shall give notice as provided herein to the Holder of such record or distribution date. Such notice shall also specify
the date (the “Participation Date”) as of which the holders of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock of record shall participate in such dividend, distribution or subscription rights, or shall be entitled to vote on or exchange
their shares of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale or transfer of assets, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up, as the case
may be. Such notice shall be given not less than 5 days and not more than 60 days prior to the Participation Date and such notice may state that any such action remains subject to conditions, which conditions shall be generally described in such
notice. 
 4.7 Rounding. All calculations hereunder shall be made to the nearest one-tenth (1/10) of a cent or to the nearest one
hundredth (1/100) of a share, as the case may be.
