2008 Sales Commission Plan

     On April 17, 2008, the Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Volcano Corporation (the “Company”) approved the Sales Commission Plan for Jorge J. Quinoy, the Company’s Vice President of Global Sales (the “Plan”), effective for the period commencing January 1, 2008 through December 31, 2008. The Plan targets total 2008 cash compensation (salary and bonus) of $332,500. The Plan contains a two-tiered commission rate structure. An “at plan” commission rate is applied to the achievement of reported Company revenue up to the quotas established for Mr. Quinoy. An “over plan” commission rate is applied to the achievement of reported Company revenue that exceeds the “at plan” quotas established for Mr. Quinoy. The amount of Mr. Quinoy’s sales commission will be based on total revenues generated from the sale and utilization of IVUS and FM disposable products in the U.S., Japan and Asia Pacific, Latin America and Canada (APLAC) sales regions. Under the Plan, at the end of each quarter, 50% of the earned “at plan” sales commissions for such quarter will be paid to Mr. Quinoy, and the remaining sales commissions, including any amounts earned at the “over plan” commission rate, will be paid upon approval of the Board in the first quarter of 2009. Mr. Quinoy must be employed with the Company for the entire quarter for that quarter’s earned commissions, and for the entire year to quality for the annual commission.

     A copy of the Plan is filed hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing description is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the Plan.
