GRAYBUG VISION, INC.

CHANGE IN CONTROL SEVERANCE POLICY

The Board of Graybug Vision, Inc. (the “Company”) has determined that it is appropriate to reinforce the continued attention and dedication of the Company’s employees to their assigned duties without distraction in circumstances arising from the possibility of a Change in Control of the Company. Accordingly, the Company desires to adopt this amended and restated Change in Control Severance Policy (“Policy”) to provide certain benefits as set forth below in connection with a Change in Control of the Company.

(i) Lump sum payment equal to one month of Employee’s base salary in effect immediately prior to Employee’s Separation from Service (or, if applicable, immediately prior to a reduction in base salary that gave rise to Good Reason) multiplied by the Employee’s Applicable Number, to be paid as soon as administratively practicable following the date on which the Release becomes effective and irrevocable and, in any event, within 60 days following the date of the Separation from Service;

(ii) Lump sum payment equal to Employee’s then applicable target bonus, prorated based on a number of months out of the applicable measurement year equal to the Employee’s Applicable Number, to be paid as soon as administratively practicable following the date on which the Release becomes effective and irrevocable and, in any event, within 60 days following the date of the Separation from Service;

(iii) Provided Employee timely elects to continue health coverage under COBRA or similar law, reimbursement for any monthly COBRA premium payments made by Employee until the earliest of (a) the expiration of the number of months equal to the Employee’s Applicable Number following Employee’s Separation from Service and (b) the date on which Employee and Employee’s covered dependents, if any, becomes eligible for healthcare coverage under another employer plan(s); and

Other than vesting acceleration with respect to Employee’s unvested Company equity awards granted pursuant to and provided under the Company’s 2015 Plan, if any, Employee may not cumulate any severance benefits under this Policy with any other severance benefits to be provided by the Company in connection with a Change in Control pursuant to a written agreement with the Company and/or another plan or policy of the Company, and waiver of any other such benefits will be a precondition to receipt of any benefits under this Policy, unless otherwise agreed in writing with the Company.

5. Tax Consequences. All payments under this Policy will be reduced as necessary to pay withholding and payroll taxes and other deductions required by law. The Company makes no representations or warranties with respect to the tax consequences (including, without limitation, under Section 409A of the Code) of the benefits under this Policy, and the Employee shall be solely responsible for the same.

6. Section 409A. To the extent that any provision of this Policy is ambiguous as to its exemption or compliance with Section 409A of the Code (“Section 409A”), the provision will be read in such a manner so that all payments hereunder are exempt from Section 409A to the maximum permissible extent, and for any payments where such construction is not tenable, that those payments comply with Section 409A to the maximum permissible extent. To the extent any payment under this Policy may be classified as a “short-term deferral” within the meaning of Section 409A, such payment will be deemed a short-term deferral, even if it may also qualify for an exemption from Section 409A under another provision of Section 409A. Payments pursuant to this Policy (or referenced in this Policy) are intended to constitute separate payments for purposes of Section 1.409A-2(b)(2) of the regulations under Section 409A. Notwithstanding anything in this Policy to the contrary, the Company reserves the right, to the extent it deems necessary or advisable in its sole discretion, to unilaterally amend or modify this Policy as may be necessary to ensure that all benefits provided are made in a manner that qualifies for exemption from or complies with Section 409A; provided, however, that the Company makes no representations that the payments or benefits provided will be exempt from Section 409A and makes no undertakings to preclude Section 409A from applying to the payments or benefits provided under this Policy. To the extent (i) any payments to which an Employee becomes entitled under this Agreement, or any agreement or plan referenced herein, in connection with Employee’s termination of employment with the Company constitute deferred compensation subject to Section 409A and (ii) Employee is deemed at the time of such termination of employment to be a “specified” employee under Section 409A, then such payment or payments will not be made or commence until the earlier of (x) the expiration of the six (6)-month period measured from the date of Employee’s Separation from Service and (y) the date of Employee’s death following such Separation from Service; provided, however, that such deferral will be effected only to the extent required to avoid adverse tax treatment to Employee, including, without limitation, the additional twenty percent (20%) tax for which Employee would otherwise be liable under Section 409A(a)(1)(B) in the absence of such deferral. Upon the expiration of the applicable deferral period, any payments which would have otherwise been made during that period (whether in a single sum or in installments) in the absence of this paragraph will be paid to Employee or Employee’s beneficiary in one lump sum (without interest).

7. Parachute Payments. In the event that the severance and other benefits provided for in this Policy or otherwise payable to Employee (i) constitute “parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code and (ii) but for this Section, would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, then, Employee’s severance and other benefits under this Policy shall be payable either (i) in full, or (ii) as to such lesser amount which would result in no portion of such severance and other benefits being subject to the excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code, whichever of the foregoing amounts, taking into account the applicable federal, state and local income taxes and the excise tax imposed by Section 4999, results in the receipt by Employee on an after-tax basis, of the greatest amount of severance benefits under this Policy, notwithstanding that all or some portion of such severance benefits may be taxable under Section

5

4999 of the Code. Any reduction shall be made in the following manner: first a pro rata reduction of (i) cash payments subject to Section 409A as deferred compensation and (ii) cash payments not subject to Section 409A, and second a pro rata cancellation of (i) equity-based compensation subject to Section 409A as deferred compensation and (ii) equity-based compensation not subject to Section 409A. Reduction in either cash payments or equity compensation benefits shall be made prorata between and among benefits which are subject to Section 409A and benefits which are exempt from Section 409A. Unless Employee and the Company otherwise agree in writing, any determination required under this Section shall be made in writing by the Company’s independent public accountants (the “Accountants”), whose determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Employee and the Company for all purposes. For purposes of making the calculations required by this Section, the Accountants may make reasonable assumptions and approximations concerning applicable taxes and may rely on reasonable, good faith interpretations concerning the application of Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code. The Company and Employee shall furnish to the Accountants such information and documents as the Accountants may reasonably request in order to make a determination under this Section. The Company shall bear all costs the Accountants may reasonably incur in connection with any calculations contemplated by this Section.

8. Amendment or Termination of this Policy. The Board may amend or terminate this Policy at any time and for any reason, including to the extent necessary or advisable to comply with applicable law, including without limitation, any amendment necessary to comply with or secure an exemption form Section 409A of the Code. After a definitive agreement relating to a Change in Control has been signed by the Company or the consummation of a Change in Control, the Company may not amend or terminate this Policy with respect to an Employee except with the consent of such Employee.

9. Miscellaneous.

(a) Employment Status. This Policy does not constitute a contract of employment or impose on Employee’s any obligation to remain as an employee, or impose on the Company any obligation (i) to retain Employee as an employee, (ii) to change the status of Employee as an at-will employee, or (iii) to change the Company’s policies regarding termination or alteration of employment.

(b) Binding Effect; Successors. In the event of a Change in Control, this Policy shall, unless the Board prior to consummation of such transaction determines otherwise, be binding upon the successor or the entity surviving such transaction or the purchaser of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets.
