 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 Warrant Shares to be purchased; and (ii) either a certified or bank cashier’s check
payable to the order of the Company in an amount equal to the aggregate purchase price for the number of Warrant Shares being purchased, or provides notice of Holder’s net issuance Conversion Right election referenced in Section 1.2
herewith. 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 
  

					
	 RUBICON TECHNOLOGY, INC.
	  	-1-	  	WARRANT NO.     

 number of Warrant Shares 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 Warrant Shares 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 terms of this
Warrant, the Holder shall have the right (the “Conversion Right”) to convert this Warrant or any portion hereof into Warrant Shares as provided in this Section 1.2 at any time that this Warrant is otherwise exercisable during
the term of this Warrant. 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 Warrant Shares equal to the quotient of
(i) the number of Warrant Shares purchasable under this Warrant (or the portion thereof being exercised); multiplied by the difference of (A) the Fair Market Value of one (1) Warrant Share; minus (B) the Warrant Price; divided by
(ii) the Fair Market Value of one (1) Warrant Share. 
 (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 Warrant Shares 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 Warrant Shares is at least equal to the par value of
any Warrant Shares having a par value, or the stated capital of any Warrant Shares not having a par value. 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 Warrant Share as of the date of receipt by the Company of notice of exercise of this Warrant. 
 1.4 Legend on Warrant Shares. Each certificate for Warrant Shares initially issued upon exercise of this Warrant, unless at the time of exercise such Warrant Shares 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 Warrant Shares 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 
  

					
	 RUBICON TECHNOLOGY, INC.
	  	-2-	  	WARRANT NO.     

 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 Warrant Shares, if any, the holder hereof is to receive by reason of such automatic
exercise. 
 1.6 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. 
 1.7 Notwithstanding Section 1.6 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 statements of Company no later 120 days after the related fiscal year end, and (ii) internal quarterly financial statements of Company no later than 45 days after the related quarter end. Each financial statement to be furnished to

 ARTICLE III 
 RESTRICTIONS ON
EXERCISE AND TRANSFER 
 3.1 Restrictions on Exercise and Transfer. Notwithstanding any provisions contained in this Warrant to the
contrary, this Warrant shall not be exercisable or transferable and the related Warrant Shares shall not be transferable except upon 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 exercise or transfer of such Warrant or transfer of such Warrant Shares. 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 Warrant Shares prior to
delivery to the Company of the opinion of counsel or other evidence (as such opinion and such counsel or other evidence are described in Section 3.2) or until registration of such Warrant Shares under the Act has become effective and compliance
with applicable state securities laws has been obtained. 
 3.2 Opinion of Counsel. In connection with any transfer of this Warrant or
any transfer of the related Warrant Shares, the following provisions shall apply: 
 (a) If in the written opinion of counsel provided by
Holder and reasonably satisfactory to Company, the proposed transfer of this Warrant and/or the proposed transfer of such Warrant Shares may be effected without registration of this Warrant and/or such Warrant Shares under the Act and applicable
state securities laws, the Holder of this Warrant shall be entitled to transfer this Warrant and/or transfer such Warrant Shares in accordance with the proposed method of disposition. In lieu of such opinion of counsel the Company may, in its
discretion, accept such other evidence of compliance with or exemption from the Act and applicable state securities laws as it deems satisfactory. 
 (b) If the Company does not obtain the opinion or other evidence referred to in Section 3.2(a), the Holder of this Warrant shall not be entitled to transfer this Warrant and/or transfer such Warrant Shares. This Warrant shall not be
exercisable or transferable and the Warrant Shares shall not be transferable if such transfer would involve a violation of the Act or any applicable federal or state securities laws. 
 ARTICLE IV 
 ADJUSTMENTS 
 4.1 Conversion of All Preferred Stock. 
 (a) Number of Warrant Shares. In the event (the “Conversion Event”) that all of the Company’s Preferred Stock is converted into Common Stock pursuant to the Certificate of Incorporation, then the number of
Warrant Shares 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 Warrant Shares available
hereunder immediately prior to such Conversion Event. 
 (b) Warrant Price. Upon the occurrence of a Conversion Event, then the Warrant
Price shall 
  

					
	 RUBICON TECHNOLOGY, INC.
	  	-4-	  	WARRANT NO.     

 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) Warrant Share, 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 Warrant Shares, 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 Warrant Shares 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 Warrant Shares 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 Warrant
Shares 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 Warrant Shares 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
Warrant Shares 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 Warrant Shares had been purchased immediately prior to such
reorganization or reclassification. 
 4.5 Statement of Adjustment. Upon each adjustment of the number of Warrant Shares 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 Warrant Shares, 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
Preferred Stock or the making of any distribution to the holders of the Preferred Stock; 
  

					
	 RUBICON TECHNOLOGY, INC.
	  	-5-	  	WARRANT NO.     

 (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 
 (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 Preferred Stock of record shall participate in such dividend,
distribution or subscription rights, or shall be entitled to vote on or exchange their 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.

 CERTAIN DEFINITIONS 
 Capitalized terms
defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them. In addition, the following terms shall have the following respective meanings: 
 “Certificate of Incorporation” shall mean the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation as currently in effect and as amended from time to time. 
 “Fair Market Value” of a Warrant Share shall be equal to the product of (i) the number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock
into which each Warrant Share is then convertible pursuant to the Certificate of Incorporation; multiplied by (ii) the average of the daily market prices for one (1) share of the Company’s Common Stock over a period of 20 consecutive
business days before such date. The market price for each such business day shall be the last sale price on such day on the principal securities exchange on which the Company’s Common Stock is then listed or admitted to trading, or, if no sale
takes place on such day on any such exchange, the average of the closing bid and asked prices on such day as officially quoted on any such exchange, or if the Common Stock is not then listed or admitted to trading on any stock exchange, the market
price for each such business day shall be the average of the closing bid and asked prices on such day in the over-the-counter market, as reported through NASDAQ, or, if such prices are not at the time so reported, as furnished by any member of the
NASD selected by the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if and so long as there shall be no exchange or over-the-counter market for the Company’s Common Stock during the 20-day period prior to the date on which the Fair Market Value is to
be determined, the Fair Market Value shall be an amount determined by the Board of Directors in its reasonable discretion. 
 “Person” shall mean an individual, a corporation, a partnership, a trust, an unincorporated organization, or any other entity, or a governmental organization or any agency or political subdivision thereof.

 upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant or Warrant Shares, the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant or
Warrant Shares, of like tenor, in lieu of the lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Warrant or Warrant Shares. 
 (c) before taking any action
which would cause an adjustment reducing the Warrant Price below the then par value of the shares of Preferred Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrant, it will take any corporate action which may be necessary in order that the Company may
validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of such Preferred Stock at such adjusted Warrant Price.

performance, injunctive relief and other equitable remedies. 
 (b) There are no actions, suits, audits, investigations or proceedings

and Holder as the obligee thereunder. The purchase rights represented by this Warrant are exercisable, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, however prior to 5:00 p.m. local time at the location of the Warrant Office (as defined in
Section 2.1), from and after October 24, 2003 (the “Grant Date”) and on or prior to the earlier to occur of (i) the tenth anniversary of the Grant Date and (ii) an initial public offering of the company’s capital
stock or a merger, consolidation or sale of the Company (the “Expiration Date”) 
 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 Warrant Shares to be purchased; and (ii) either a certified or bank cashier’s check
payable to the order of the Company in an amount equal to the aggregate purchase price for the number of Warrant Shares being purchased, or provides notice of Holder’s net issuance Conversion Right election referenced in Section 1.2
herewith. 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 
  

					
	 RUBICON TECHNOLOGY, INC.
	  	-1-	  	WARRANT NO.     

 
number of Warrant Shares 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 Warrant Shares 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 terms of this Warrant,
the Holder shall have the right (the “Conversion Right”) to convert this Warrant or any portion hereof into Warrant Shares as provided in this Section 1.2 at any time that this Warrant is otherwise exercisable during the term
of this Warrant. 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 Warrant Shares equal to the quotient of (i) the
number of Warrant Shares purchasable under this Warrant (or the portion thereof being exercised); multiplied by the difference of (A) the Fair Market Value of one (1) Warrant Share; minus (B) the Warrant Price; divided by
(ii) the Fair Market Value of one (1) Warrant Share. 
 (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 Warrant Shares 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 Warrant Shares is at least equal to the par value of
any Warrant Shares having a par value, or the stated capital of any Warrant Shares not having a par value. 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 Warrant Share as of the date of receipt by the Company of notice of exercise of this Warrant. 
 1.4 Legend on Warrant Shares. Each certificate for Warrant Shares initially issued upon exercise of this Warrant, unless at the time of exercise such Warrant Shares 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 Warrant Shares 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 
  

					
	 RUBICON TECHNOLOGY, INC.
	  	-2-	  	WARRANT NO.     

 
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 Warrant Shares, if any, the holder hereof is to receive by reason of such automatic exercise. 

1.6 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. 

1.7 Notwithstanding Section 1.6 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 statements of
Company no later 120 days after the related fiscal year end, and (ii) internal quarterly financial statements of Company no later than 45 days after the related quarter end. Each financial statement to be furnished to Holder must be prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied.

United States as to which written notice has been given to the Holder. 
 2.2 Warrant Non-Transferable; Ownership of Warrant. This
Warrant and all rights hereunder may not be transferred, sold, hypothecated or assigned, without the prior written consent of the Company which shall be promptly provided on the condition that Holder has complied with the provisions of Article III
hereof. The Company may deem and treat the Person in whose name this Warrant is registered as the holder and owner hereof (notwithstanding any notations of ownership or writing hereon made by anyone other than the Company) for all purposes and shall
not be affected by any notice to the contrary, until presentation of this Warrant for registration of transfer as provided in this Article II. 
 2.3 Warrant Register. Subject to Section 2.2 and Article III hereof, the Company shall maintain at the Warrant Office books for the registration of warrants and the registration of transfers of warrants. To effect a transfer of
this Warrant upon satisfaction of the provisions of Section 2.2 and Article III the Holder shall surrender this Warrant at the Warrant Office, together with a written assignment of this Warrant duly executed by the Holder or the Holder’s
duly authorized agent or attorney and funds sufficient to pay any transfer taxes payable upon the

making of such transfer. Upon such surrender and payment the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the name of the assignee or
assignees and in the denominations specified in such instrument of assignment, and this Warrant shall be canceled. 
 2.4 Division or
Combination of Warrants. This Warrant may be divided or combined with other warrants exercisable at the same Warrant Price upon presentation hereof and of any warrant or warrants with which this warrant is to be combined at the Warrant Office,
together with a written notice specifying the names and denominations in which new warrants are to be issued, signed by the Holder and the holders thereof or their respective duly authorized agents or attorneys. Subject to compliance with
Sections 2.2 and 2.3 and Article III as to any transfer which may be involved in such division or combination, the Company shall execute and deliver a new warrant or warrants in exchange for the warrant or warrants to be divided or combined in
accordance with such notice. 
 2.5 Expenses of Delivery of Warrants. The Company shall pay all expenses, taxes (other than transfer
taxes incurred by Holder in connection with any transfers made by Holder after receipt of the Warrant Shares) and other charges payable in connection with the preparation, issuance and delivery of warrants hereunder. 
 ARTICLE III 
 RESTRICTIONS ON EXERCISE AND
TRANSFER 
 3.1 Restrictions on Exercise and Transfer. Notwithstanding any provisions contained in this Warrant to the contrary, this
Warrant shall not be exercisable or transferable and the related Warrant Shares shall not be transferable except upon 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 exercise or transfer of such Warrant or transfer of such Warrant Shares. 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 Warrant Shares prior to delivery to the Company of the
opinion of counsel or other evidence (as such opinion and such counsel or other evidence are described in Section 3.2) or until registration of such Warrant Shares under the Act has become effective and compliance with applicable state
securities laws has been obtained. 
 3.2 Opinion of Counsel. In connection with any transfer of this Warrant or any transfer of the
related Warrant Shares, the following provisions shall apply: 
 (a) If in the written opinion of counsel provided by Holder and reasonably
satisfactory to Company, the proposed transfer of this Warrant and/or the proposed transfer of such Warrant Shares may be effected without registration of this Warrant and/or such Warrant Shares under the Act and applicable state securities laws,
the Holder of this Warrant shall be entitled to transfer this Warrant and/or transfer such Warrant Shares in accordance with the proposed method of disposition. In lieu of such opinion of counsel the Company may, in its discretion, accept such other
evidence of compliance with or exemption from the Act and applicable state securities laws as it deems satisfactory. 
 (b) If the Company
does not obtain the opinion or other evidence referred to in Section 3.2(a), the Holder of this Warrant shall not be entitled to transfer this Warrant and/or transfer such Warrant Shares. This Warrant shall not be exercisable or transferable
and the Warrant Shares shall not be transferable if such transfer would involve a violation of the Act or any applicable federal or state securities laws. 
 ARTICLE IV 
 ADJUSTMENTS 
  

	4.1	Conversion of All Preferred Stock. 

 (a) Number
of Warrant Shares. In the event (the “Conversion Event”) that all of the Company’s Preferred Stock is converted into Common Stock pursuant to the Certificate of Incorporation, then the number of Warrant Shares 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 Warrant Shares available hereunder immediately prior to
such Conversion Event. 
 (b) Warrant Price. Upon the occurrence of a Conversion Event, then the Warrant Price shall 
  

					
	 RUBICON TECHNOLOGY, INC.
	  	-4-	  	WARRANT NO.     

 
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) Warrant Share, 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 Warrant Shares, 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 Warrant Shares 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 Warrant Shares 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 Warrant Shares 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 Warrant Shares 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 Warrant Shares 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 Warrant Shares had been purchased immediately prior to such reorganization or reclassification. 
 4.5 Statement of Adjustment. Upon each adjustment of the number of Warrant Shares 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 Warrant Shares, 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 Preferred Stock or the making of any
distribution to the holders of the Preferred Stock; 
  

					
	 RUBICON TECHNOLOGY, INC.
	  	-5-	  	WARRANT NO.     

 (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 
 (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 Preferred Stock of record shall participate in such dividend,
distribution or subscription rights, or shall be entitled to vote on or exchange their 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. 
 ARTICLE V 
 CERTAIN DEFINITIONS 
 Capitalized terms
defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them. In addition, the following terms shall have the following respective meanings: 
 “Certificate of Incorporation” shall mean the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation as currently in effect and as amended from time to time. 
 “Fair Market Value” of a Warrant Share shall be equal to the product of (i) the number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock
into which each Warrant Share is then convertible pursuant to the Certificate of Incorporation; multiplied by (ii) the average of the daily market prices for one (1) share of the Company’s Common Stock over a period of 20 consecutive
business days before such date. The market price for each such business day shall be the last sale price on such day on the principal securities exchange on which the Company’s Common Stock is then listed or admitted to trading, or, if no sale
takes place on such day on any such exchange, the average of the closing bid and asked prices on such day as officially quoted on any such exchange, or if the Common Stock is not then listed or admitted to trading on any stock exchange, the market
price for each such business day shall be the average of the closing bid and asked prices on such day in the over-the-counter market, as reported through NASDAQ, or, if such prices are not at the time so reported, as furnished by any member of the
NASD selected by the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if and so long as there shall be no exchange or over-the-counter market for the Company’s Common Stock during the 20-day period prior to the date on which the Fair Market Value is to
be determined, the Fair Market Value shall be an amount determined by the Board of Directors in its reasonable discretion. 
 “Person” shall mean an individual, a corporation, a partnership, a trust, an unincorporated organization, or any other entity, or a governmental organization or any agency or political subdivision thereof. 
 ARTICLE VI 
 CERTAIN COVENANTS AND

other securities or property deliverable upon the exercise of the Warrant sufficient to enable it at any time to fulfill all its obligations hereunder; 
 (b) in the event of lost warrants or stock certificates, Company, upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or Warrant Shares, and

upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant or Warrant Shares, the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant or Warrant Shares, of like tenor, in lieu
of the lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Warrant or Warrant Shares. 
 (c) before taking any action which would cause an adjustment
reducing the Warrant Price below the then par value of the shares of Preferred Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrant, it will take any corporate action which may be necessary in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid
and nonassessable shares of such Preferred Stock at such adjusted Warrant Price. 
 6.2 Company represents and warrants to the holder of this
Warrant as follows: 
 (a) This Warrant has been duly authorized and executed by Company and is a valid and binding obligation of Company
enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to laws of general application relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, and the relief of debtors and the rules of law or principles at equity governing specific performance, injunctive relief and other
equitable remedies. 
 (b) There are no actions, suits, audits, investigations or proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of Company,
