FOR VALUE RECEIVED, GLAUKOS CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (“Company”), unconditionally promises to pay,                                (“Lender”), in the manner and at the place hereinafter provided, the principal amount of                          Dollars ($                        ) and interest thereon as provided below.  Interest only will be payable on this Note on the last day of each month commencing on November 30, 2013 and ending on December 31, 2014.  Thereafter, principal and interest will be payable on this Note, in consecutive monthly installments, consisting of $                       each, on the last day of each month commencing January 31, 2015 and ending December 31, 2016; provided that the last such installment shall be in the amount necessary to pay this Note in full.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the occurrence of a Company Sale (as defined in that certain Agreement by and between Company and GMP VISION SOLUTIONS, INC., dated as of December 12, 2006, as amended from time to time), the entire remaining principal balance and all accrued and unpaid interest as of the date of such Company Sale shall be automatically immediately due and payable without presentment, demand, notice, protest or other requirements of any kind (all of which are hereby expressly waived by Company).

 

Interest on the unpaid principal amount will accrue, from the date hereof until paid in full, at the rate of 5% per annum; provided that any payment of principal or interest that is not paid in full within thirty (30) days of its due date shall bear interest payable upon demand at a rate that is 5% per annum in excess of the rate of interest otherwise payable under this Note.  In addition, interest on this Note shall be payable on the date of any prepayment or acceleration of this Note (to the extent accrued on the amount being prepaid or accelerated).  All computations of interest shall be made by Lender on the basis of a 365/366-day year, for the actual number of days elapsed in the relevant period (including the first day but excluding the last day).  In no event shall the interest rate payable on this Note exceed the maximum rate of interest permitted to be charged under applicable law.

 

1.                                      Payments.  All payments of principal and interest in respect of this Note shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America in same day funds to the Lender at                                               , Attn:                                           , or at such other place as Lender may direct.  Whenever any payment on this Note is stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment shall instead be made on the next Business Day, and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of interest payable on this Note.  Each payment made hereunder shall be credited first to interest then

due and the remainder of such payment shall be credited to principal, and interest shall thereupon cease to accrue upon the principal so credited.  Lender and any subsequent holder of this Note agrees, by its acceptance hereof, that before disposing of this Note or any part hereof it will make a notation hereon of all principal payments previously made hereunder and of the date to which interest hereon has been paid; provided, however, that the failure to make a notation of any payment made on this Note shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligation of Company hereunder with respect to payments of principal or interest on this Note.

 

2.                                      Prepayments.  Company shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay the principal of this Note in whole or in part, without premium or penalty.  Any prepayment hereunder shall be accompanied by any unpaid interest accrued on the principal amount of the Note being prepaid to the date of such prepayment.
