UNWIND AGREEMENT

dated as of ______ [·], 202_

Between Glaukos Corporation and [DEALER]

THIS UNWIND AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) with respect to the Capped Call Confirmations (as defined below) is made as of [·], 202_, between Glaukos Corporation (“Company”) and [DEALER] (“Dealer”).

WHEREAS, Company issued $287,500,000 aggregate principal amount of 2.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2027 (the “Convertible Notes”) pursuant to an Indenture dated as of June 11, 2020 between Company and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee;

WHEREAS, in connection with the pricing of the Convertible Notes, Company and Dealer entered into a Base Capped Call Transaction (the “Base Capped Call Transaction”) pursuant to an ISDA confirmation dated as of June 8, 2020, which supplements, forms a part of, and is subject to an agreement in the form of the 2002 ISDA Master Agreement, pursuant to which Company purchased from Dealer [______] call options (as amended, modified, terminated or unwound from time to time, the “Base Capped Call Confirmation”);

WHEREAS, in connection with the exercise of the option by the initial purchasers of the Convertible Notes, Company and Dealer entered into an Additional Capped Call Transaction (the “Additional Capped Call Transaction” and, together with the Base Capped Call Transaction, the “Capped Call Transactions”) pursuant to an ISDA confirmation dated as of June 18, 2020, which supplements, forms a part of, and is subject to an agreement in the form of the 2002 ISDA Master Agreement, pursuant to which Company purchased from Dealer [______] call options (as amended, modified, terminated or unwound from time to time, the “Additional Capped Call Confirmation” and, together with the Base Capped Call Confirmation, the “Capped Call Confirmations”);

WHEREAS, Company has requested full termination of the Capped Call Transactions;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of their mutual covenants herein contained, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, hereby mutually covenant and agree as follows:

1.Defined Terms. Any capitalized term not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning set forth for such term in the Capped Call Confirmations.

2.Termination. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Capped Call Confirmations, Company and Dealer agree that, effective on the date hereof, but subject to Company’s receipt of the Cash Settlement Amount (as defined below), the Capped Call Transactions shall automatically terminate and all of the respective rights and obligations of the parties under the Capped Call Confirmations shall be terminated, cancelled and extinguished and in connection therewith Dealer shall pay to Company the Cash Settlement Amount on the Payment Date (as defined below).

3.Averaging Procedures.

The “Averaging Period” means the [____ (_)] consecutive Scheduled Trading Days commencing on, and including, [·], 202_ (each such Scheduled Trading Day, an “Averaging Date”).

(I) If Dealer determines, in good faith and a commercially reasonable manner, that an extension of the Averaging Period is necessary in light of existing liquidity conditions or is necessary in order for Dealer to be in compliance with applicable legal, regulatory or self-regulatory requirements, or with Dealer’s internal policies and procedures generally applicable to capped call transactions with convertible note issuers entered into in connection with the pricing and issuance of convertible notes or Dealer’s related, commercially reasonable hedging transactions, then Dealer may add, in whole or in part, one or more consecutive Scheduled Trading Days immediately following the last scheduled day of the Averaging Period at such time to the Averaging Period as additional Averaging Date(s), provided that Dealer may not add more than a total of eight (8) Scheduled Trading Days to the Averaging Period pursuant to this clause (I); and (II) whenever a Disrupted Day (whether in whole or part) occurs during the Averaging

Period, Dealer may add, in whole or in part, the Scheduled Trading Day immediately following the last scheduled day of the Averaging Period at such time to the Averaging Period as an additional Averaging Date.

If any Averaging Date is a Disrupted Day in part or if any Averaging Date is a partial additional Scheduled Trading Day described in subsection (b) above, then the VWAP Price (as defined below) for such Scheduled Trading Day(s) shall be the market value per Share on such Scheduled Trading Day, as determined by Dealer in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner based on such sources as it reasonably deems appropriate using, if practicable, a volume-weighted methodology, for the portion of such Scheduled Trading Day for which Dealer determines there is no Market Disruption Event with respect to the Shares.

Dealer shall provide written notice (which notice may be in the form of an email) to Company of any determination that an Averaging Date is a Disrupted Day in whole or in part, or to extend the Averaging Period, in each case promptly on the day that such determination is made.

“VWAP Price” for any Scheduled Trading Day means the per Share volume-weighted average price as displayed under the heading “Bloomberg VWAP” on Bloomberg page GKOS <equity> AQR (or its equivalent successor if such page is not available) in respect of the period from the scheduled opening time to the Scheduled Closing Time of the Exchange on such Scheduled Trading Day (or if such volume-weighted average price is unavailable at such time, the market value of one Share on such Scheduled Trading Day, as determined by Dealer in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner using, if practicable, a volume-weighted average method).

“Average VWAP” means the arithmetic average of the VWAP Prices for each Averaging Date during the Averaging Period.

Prior to 6:30 PM New York City time on the final Averaging Date, Dealer shall provide a report (in a commonly used file format for the storage and manipulation of financial data) to Company specifying the Cash Settlement Amount and the Payment Date (each as defined below) and setting forth in reasonable detail its calculation of the Average VWAP, including the VWAP Price for each Averaging Date (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any VWAP Price calculated pursuant to subsection (c) above); provided, however, that in no event shall Dealer be obligated to share with Company any proprietary or confidential data or information or any proprietary or confidential models used by Dealer.

4.Cash Settlement Amount. The “Cash Settlement Amount” shall mean an amount of cash determined by Dealer in good faith and a commercially reasonable manner pursuant to the table of hypothetical values for Average VWAP and corresponding values for the Cash Settlement Amount set forth in Schedule A attached hereto (using linear interpolation by Dealer to determine the Cash Settlement Amount for any Average VWAP not specifically appearing in but falling between the highest and lowest hypothetical values for Average VWAP set forth in Schedule A). In the event that the Average VWAP for the Averaging Period is greater than or less than the highest or lowest hypothetical values for Average VWAP, respectively, specified in the table set forth in Schedule A, Dealer shall determine the Cash Settlement Amount in good faith and a commercially reasonable manner using substantially the same methodology that would have been used to determine the Cash Settlement Amount had such Average VWAP fallen within the range of hypothetical values set forth in such table. If the Cash Settlement Amount is determined in the manner described in the preceding sentence, Dealer shall promptly provide Company a report (in a commonly used file format for the storage and manipulation of financial data) displaying in reasonable detail the method of such determination; provided, however, that in no event shall Dealer be obligated to share with Company any proprietary or confidential data or information or any proprietary or confidential models used by Dealer.

5.Settlement. One Settlement Cycle following the last day of the Averaging Period or, if such date is not a Clearance System Business Day, on the next Clearance System Business Day immediately following such date (the “Payment Date”), Dealer shall pay to Company, to the account specified in Section 9 hereof, in immediately available funds, cash in an amount equal to the Cash Settlement Amount.

6.[Reserved]

7.Representations and Warranties of Company. Company represents and warrants to Dealer (and agrees with Dealer in the case of Section 7(g)(ii)) on the date hereof that:

(e)it is not in possession of any material nonpublic information regarding Company or the Shares;

(f)it is not entering into this Agreement to create actual or apparent trading activity in the Shares (or any security convertible into or exchangeable for the Shares) or to raise or depress or otherwise manipulate the price of the Shares (or any security convertible into or exchangeable for the Shares) or otherwise in violation of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”); and

(g)(i) it is not on the date hereof engaged in a distribution, as such term is used in Regulation M under the Exchange Act (“Regulation M”), of any securities of Company, and (ii) it shall not, until the second Scheduled Trading Day immediately following the final Averaging Date, engage in any such distribution.
