AMENDED AND RESTATED 2005 EQUITY COMPENSATION PLAN

RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT

Pursuant to the Restricted Stock Unit Grant Notice (“Grant Notice”) and this Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement (“Agreement”), Volcano Corporation (the “Company”) has granted you a Restricted Stock Unit Award pursuant to the Company’s Amended and Restated 2005 Equity Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) for the number of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) as indicated in the Grant Notice (such grant, the “Award”). Unless otherwise defined herein or the Grant Notice, capitalized terms shall have the meanings set forth in the Plan.

The details of your Award, in addition to those set forth in the Grant Notice and the Plan, are as follows.

1. GRANT OF THE AWARD.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions provided herein and in the Plan, the Award represents the right to be issued on a future date one (1) share of Common Stock for each RSU that vests. As of the Date of Grant, the Company will credit to a bookkeeping account maintained by the Company for your benefit (the “Account”) the number of RSUs subject to the Award. No shares of Common Stock subject to the Award will be earned by or issued to you prior to the applicable vesting date. Your Award will be subject to adjustment for changes in the capitalization of the Company as provided in Section 9(a) of the Plan, and any shares, cash or other property that become subject to the Award pursuant to such adjustment, if any, shall be subject, in a manner determined by the Board, to the same forfeiture restrictions, restrictions on transferability, and time and manner of delivery as applicable to the other shares covered by your Award. In no event will fractional shares be issued.

(b) This Award was granted in consideration of your services to the Company. Except as otherwise provided herein, you will not be required to make any payment to the Company (other than past and future services to the Company) with respect to your receipt of the Award, the vesting of the RSUs or the delivery of the underlying Common Stock.

2. VESTING. The RSUs shall vest, if at all, as provided in the Vesting Schedule set forth in your Grant Notice, provided, however, that vesting shall cease at such time as you are no longer employed by, or providing service to, the Employer. Upon such termination of employment and service, the RSUs (and underlying shares of Common Stock) credited to the Account that were not vested on the date of such termination will be forfeited at no cost to the Company and you will have no further right, title or interest in or to such RSUs or underlying shares of Common Stock.

3. DELIVERY OF SHARES OF COMMON STOCK.

(a) Subject to the satisfaction of any withholding obligations set forth in this Agreement, in the event one or more RSUs vests, the Company shall issue to you one (1) share of Common Stock for each RSU in accordance with the Issuance Schedule set forth in the Grant Notice; provided, however, that if the issuance of such shares occurs upon your separation from service, and if you are then a “specified employee” (as such term is defined in Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code) of the Company or any successor entity thereto, then, solely to the extent necessary to avoid the incurrence of the adverse personal tax consequences to you under Code Section 409A, the issuance of such shares shall be delayed until the 4^th business day after the earlier to occur of (i) the date that is six (6) months after your separation from service and (ii) the date of your death. The issuance date determined by this paragraph is referred to as the “Original Issuance Date”.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if (i) there is a withholding obligation on the part of the Company on the Original Issuance Date, and (ii) the Original Issuance Date does not occur (1) during an “open window period” applicable to you, as determined by the Company in accordance with the Company’s then-effective policy on trading in Company securities, or (2) on a date when you are otherwise permitted to sell shares of Common Stock on an established stock exchange or stock market, and (iii) the Company elects, prior to the Original Issuance Date, (1) not to satisfy the tax withholding obligations by withholding shares of Common Stock from the shares otherwise due, on the Original Issuance Date, to you under this Award, and (2) not to permit you to enter into a “same day sale” commitment with a broker-dealer pursuant to this Agreement (including but not limited to a commitment under a previously established Company-approved 10b5-1 trading plan), then such shares shall not be delivered on such Original Issuance Date and shall instead be delivered on the first business day of the next occurring open window period applicable to you or the next business day when you are not prohibited from selling shares of the Company’s Common Stock in the open public market, but in no event later than December 31 of the calendar year in which the Original Issuance Date occurs (that is, the last day of your taxable year in which the Original Issuance Date occurs).

4. WITHHOLDING. You hereby agree to make adequate provision for any sums required to satisfy the applicable federal, state, local and foreign employment, social insurance, payroll, income and other tax withholding obligations of the Company or any Affiliate (the “Tax Obligations”) that arise in connection with this Award. The satisfaction of the Tax Obligations will occur at the time you receive a distribution of Common Stock or other property pursuant to this Award, or at any time prior to or after such time or thereafter as reasonably requested by the Company and/or any affiliate in accordance with applicable law. You hereby authorize the Company, at its sole discretion and subject to any limitations under applicable law, to satisfy any such Tax Obligations by (a) withholding from wages and other cash compensation payable to you, (b) causing you to tender a cash payment to the Company, (c) permitting you to enter into a “same day sale” commitment with a broker-dealer that is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (a “FINRA Dealer”) whereby you irrevocably elect to sell a portion of the shares to be delivered under the Award to satisfy the applicable Tax Obligations and whereby the FINRA Dealer irrevocably commits to forward the proceeds necessary to satisfy the Tax Obligations directly to the Company and/or its Affiliates, and (d) withholding shares that are otherwise to be issued and delivered to you under this Award in satisfaction of the Tax Obligations (provided, however, that the amount of the shares so withheld will not exceed the amount necessary to satisfy the required Tax Obligations using the minimum statutory withholding rates that are applicable to this kind of income). In the event the Tax Obligations arise prior to the delivery of the shares or it is determined after the delivery of shares or other property that the amount of the Tax Obligations was greater than the amount withheld by the Company and/or any affiliate, you agree to indemnify and hold the Company and its affiliates harmless from any failure by the Company and/or any affiliate to withhold the proper amount. The Company may refuse to deliver the shares of Common Stock or other property subject to this Award if you fail to comply with your obligations in connection with the Tax Obligations.

5. SECURITIES LAW COMPLIANCE; RESTRICTIVE LEGENDS. You may not be issued any Common Stock under your Award unless either (i) the shares of Common Stock are then registered under the Securities Act, or (ii) the Company has determined that such issuance would either satisfy or otherwise be exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. Your Award must also comply with other applicable laws and regulations governing the Award, and you shall not receive such Common Stock if the Company determines that such receipt would not be in material compliance with such laws and regulations. The Common Stock issued under your Award shall be endorsed with appropriate legends, if any, determined by the Company.

(c) COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 409A OF THE CODE. Issuance of shares under this Award is intended to comply with U.S. Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(a) and shall be construed and administered in such a manner. Each installment of RSUs that vests hereunder is intended to constitute a “separate payment” for purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(b)(2). The Company has no duty or obligation to minimize the tax consequences to you of this Award and shall not be liable to you for any adverse tax consequences to you arising in connection with this Award. You are hereby advised to consult with your own personal tax, financial and/or legal advisors regarding the tax consequences of this Award and by signing the Grant Notice, you have agreed that you have done so or knowingly and voluntarily declined to do so.

6. DIVIDENDS. You shall receive no benefit or adjustment to your Award with respect to any cash dividend, stock dividend or other distribution that does not result from a Capitalization Adjustment as provided in Section 9(a) of the Plan; provided, however, that this sentence shall not apply with respect to any shares of Common Stock that are delivered to you in connection with your Award after such shares have been delivered to you.

7. TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS. Prior to the time that shares of Common Stock have been delivered to you, you may not transfer, pledge, sell or otherwise dispose of this Award or the shares issuable in respect of your Award, except as expressly provided in this Section 7. For example, you may not use shares that may be issued in respect of your RSUs as security for a loan. The restrictions on transfer set forth herein will lapse upon delivery to you of shares in respect of your vested RSUs.

(a) Death. Your Award is transferable by will and by the laws of descent and distribution. In addition, upon receiving written permission from the Board or its duly authorized designee, you may, by delivering written notice to the Company, in a form provided by or otherwise satisfactory to the Company and any broker designated by the Company to effect transactions under the Plan, designate a third party who, in the event of your death, shall thereafter be entitled to receive any distribution of Common Stock or other consideration to which you were entitled at the time of your death pursuant to this Agreement. In the absence of such a designation, your executor or administrator of your estate shall be entitled to receive, on behalf of your estate, such Common Stock or other consideration.

(b) Certain Trusts. Upon receiving written permission from the Board or its duly authorized designee, you may transfer your Award to a trust if you are considered to be the sole beneficial owner (determined under Section 671 of the Code and applicable state law) while the Award is held in the trust, provided that you and the trustee enter into transfer and other agreements required by the Company.

(c) Domestic Relations Orders. Upon receiving written permission from the Board or its duly authorized designee, and provided that you and the designated transferee enter into transfer and other agreements required by the Company, you may transfer your Award or your right to receive the distribution of Common Stock or other consideration thereunder, pursuant to a domestic relations order that contains the information required by the Company to effectuate the transfer. You are encouraged to discuss the proposed terms of any division of this Award with the Company prior to finalizing the domestic relations order to help ensure the required information is contained within the domestic relations order.

8. AWARD NOT A SERVICE CONTRACT. Your Award is not an employment or service contract, and nothing in your Award shall be deemed to create in any way whatsoever any obligation on your part to continue in the service of the Company or any Affiliate, or on the part of the Company or any Affiliate to continue such service. In addition, nothing in your Award shall obligate the Company or any Affiliate, their respective stockholders, boards of directors or employees to continue any relationship that you might have as an Employee or Consultant of the Company or any Affiliate.

9. UNSECURED OBLIGATION. Your Award is unfunded, and even as to any RSUs that vest, you shall be considered an unsecured creditor of the Company with respect to the Company’s obligation, if any, to issue Common Stock pursuant to this Agreement. You shall not have voting or any other rights as a stockholder of the Company with respect to the Common Stock acquired pursuant to this Agreement until such Common Stock is issued to you pursuant to Section 3 of this Agreement. Upon such issuance, you will obtain full voting and other rights as a stockholder of the Company with respect to the Common Stock so issued. Nothing contained in this Agreement, and no action taken pursuant to its provisions, shall create or be construed to create a trust of any kind or a fiduciary relationship between you and the Company or any other person.

10. NOTICES; ELECTRONIC DELIVERY. Any notices required to be given or delivered to the Company under the terms of this Award shall be in writing and addressed to the Company at its principal corporate offices.
