In order to facilitate the consideration and negotiation of a possible negotiated transaction involving Volcano and Philips (referred to collectively as the ‘‘Parties” and individually as a “Party’’), each Party has either requested or may request access to certain non-public information regarding the other Party and the other Party’s subsidiaries. (Each Party, in its capacity as a provider of information, is referred to in this Agreement as the “Provider”; and each Party, in its capacity as a recipient of information, is referred to in this Agreement as the “Recipient”.) This Agreement sets forth the Parties’ obligations regarding the use and disclosure of such information and regarding various related matters.

The Parties, intending to be legally bound, acknowledge and agree as follows:

1. Limitations on Use and Disclosure of Confidential Information. Subject to Section 4 below, neither the Recipient nor any of the Recipient’s Representatives (as defined in Section 13 below) will, at any time, directly or indirectly:

(a) make use of any of the Provider’s Confidential Information (as defined in Section 12 below), except for the specific purpose of considering, evaluating and negotiating a possible negotiated transaction between the Parties; or

(b) disclose any of the Provider’s Confidential Information to any other

Person (as defined in Section 13 below).

The Recipient will be liable and responsible for any breach of the provisions of this Agreement by any of its Representatives. The Recipient will (at its own expense) take all actions necessary to restrain its Representatives from making any unauthorized use or disclosure of any of the Provider’s Confidential Information.

2. Provider Contact Person. Any request by the Recipient or any of its Representatives to review any of the Provider’s Confidential Information must be directed to the individual(s) identified opposite the name of the Provider on EXHIBIT A or any investment banks or outside legal counsel retained by the Provider in connection with the possible transaction (any

such individual(s) or entity, a “Provider contact person”). Neither the Recipient’s Representatives will contact or otherwise communicate with any other

Representative or employee of the Provider in connection with a possible transaction without the

prior written authorization of a Provider Contact Person.

3. No Representations by Provider. The Provider Contact Person will have the exclusive authority to decide what Confidential Information (if any) of the Provider is to be made available to the Recipient and its Representatives. Other than as set forth in a Definitive Agreement (as herein defined), neither the Provider nor any of the Provider’s Representatives will be under any obligation to make any particular Confidential Information of the Provider available to the Recipient or any of the Recipienfs Representatives or to supplement or update any Confidential Information of the Provider previously furnished. Other than as set forth in a

Definitive Agreement, neither the Provider nor any of its Representatives has made or is making any representation or warranty, express or implied, as to the accuracy or completeness of any of the Provider’s Confidential Information, and neither the Provider nor any of its Representatives will have any liability to the Recipient or to any of the Recipient’s Representatives on any basis (including, without limitation, in contract, tort or under United States federal or state securities laws or otherwise) relating to or resulting from the use of any of the Provider’s Confidential Information or any inaccuracies or errors therein or omissions therefrom. Only those representations and warranties (if any) that are included in any final definitive written agreement that provides for the consummation of a negotiated transaction between the Parties and is validly executed on behalf of the Parties (a “Definitive Agreement’’) will have legal effect.

4. Permitted Disclosures.

(a) Notwithstanding the limitations set forth in Section 1 above:

(i) the Recipient may disclose Confidential Information of the Provider if and to the extent that the Provider consents in writing to the Recipient’s disclosure thereof;

(ii) subject to Section 4(b) below, the Recipient may disclose Confidential Information of the Provider to any Representative of the Recipient, but only to the extent such Representative (A) needs to know such Confidential Information for the purpose of helping the Recipient evaluate or negotiate a possible negotiated

transaction between the Parties, and (B) has been provided with a copy of this Agreement

and has agreed to abide and be bound by the provisions hereof or is otherwise bound by confidentiality obligations at least as restrictive as those contained in this Agreement; and

(iii) subject to Section 4(c) below, the Recipient may disclose Confidential Information of the Provider to the extent required by applicable law or governmental regulation or by valid legal process.

(b) If prior to providing certain Confidential Information to the Recipient, the Provider delivers to the Recipient a written notice stating that such Confidential Information of.the Provider may be disclosed-enly-to-specified-Representati:ves o£ the Recipient, then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 4(a) (ii) above, the Recipient shall not thereafter disclose or permit the disclosure of any of such Confidential Information to any other Representative of the Recipient.

(c) If the Recipient or any of the Recipient’s Representatives is required by law or governmental regulation or by subpoena or other valid legal process to disclose

any of the Provider’s Confidential Information to any Person, then the Recipient will promptly provide the Provider with written notice of the applicable law, regulation or process so that the Provider may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy. To the extent legally permissible, the Recipient and its Representatives will cooperate reasonably with the Provider and the Provider’s Representatives in any attempt by the Provider to obtain any such protective order or other remedy. If the Provider elects not to seek, or is unsuccessful in obtaining, any such protective order or other remedy in connection with any requirement that the Recipient disclose Confidential Information of the Provider, and if the Recipient furnishes the Provider with a written advice of reputable external legal counsel confirming that the disclosure of such Confidential Information is legally required, then the Recipient may disclose such Confidential Information to the extent legally required; provided, however, that the Recipient and its Representatives will use their reasonable best efforts to ensure that such Confidential Information is treated confidentially by each Person to whom it is disclosed.

5. Return of Confidential Information. Upon the Provider’s request, the Recipient and the Recipient’s Representatives will promptly deliver to the Provider any of the Provider’s Confidential Information (and all copies thereof) obtained or possessed by the Recipient or any

of the Recipient’s Representatives; provided, however, that, in lieu of delivering to the Provider

any written materials containing Confidential Information of the Provider, the Recipient may destroy such written materials and deliver to the Provider a certificate confirming their destruction provided further, that the Recipient may retain one copy of such Confidential Iilformation for archival purposes. Notwithstanding the delivery to the Provider (or the destruction by the Recipient) of Confidential Information ofthe Provider pursuant to this

Section 5, the Recipient and its Representatives will continue to be bound by their confidentiality obligations and other obligations under this Agreement.

Following the end of the Standstill Period, nothing in this Agreement (including the prohibitions on use and disclosure set forth in Sections 1 and 4 hereof) shall, directly or indirectly, prevent or otherwise limit Philips and its Representatives from taking any actions referred to in clauses (a)-(h) of this Section 6 or related thereto, and in each case without notice to or consultation with Volcano. The expiration of the Standstill Period will not terminate or otherwise affect any of the other provisions of this Agreement.

7. No Obligation to Pursue Transaction. Unless the Parties enter into a Definitive Agreement, no agreement providing for a transaction involving either of the Parties will be deemed to exist between the Parties, and neither Party will be under any obligation to negotiate or enter into any such agreement or transaction with the other Party. Each Party reserves the right, in its sole discretion: (a) to conduct any process it deems appropriate with respect to any transaction or proposed transaction involving such Party and to modify any procedures relating

to any such process without giving notice to the other Party or any other Person; (b) to reject any

proposal made by the other Party or any of the other Party’s Representatives with respect to a transaction involving such Party; and (c) to terminate discussions and negotiations with the other Party at any time.

8. No Waiver. No failure or delay by either Party or any of its Representatives in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Agreement will operate as a waiver thereof, and no single or partial exercise of any such right, power or privilege will preclude any other or future exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege under this Agreement. No provision of this Agreement can be waived or amended except by means of a written instrument that is validly executed on behalf of both of the Parties and that refers specifically to the particular provision or provisions being waived or amended.

9. Remedies. Each Party acknowledges that money damages would not be a sufficient remedy for any breach of this Agreement by such Party or by any of such Party’s Representatives and that the other Party would suffer irreparable harm as a result of any such breach. Accordingly, each Party will also be entitled to equitable relief, including injunction and specific performance, as a remedy for any breach or threatened breach of this Agreement by the other Party or any of the other Party’s Representatives. The equitable remedies referred to above will not be deemed to be the exclusive remedies for a breach of this Agreement, but rather will

be in addition to all other remedies available at law or in equity to the Parties. Trading in Securities.

which it is reasonably foreseeable that such Person is likely to purchase or sell such securities on the basis of such information.
