I-FLOW CORPORATION

Summary of the

2006 Corporate Officer Incentive Plan

     Eligibility. The President and Chief Executive Officer, Executive Vice President and
Chief Operating Officer, and Chief Financial Officer are eligible to receive cash and equity
bonuses under the plan. All equity awards will be made pursuant to the I-Flow Corporation 2001
Equity Incentive Plan.

     Objectives. The compensation committee determined that it will evaluate the following
criteria to determine whether and to what extent the plan objectives have been achieved: (i) total
revenue and (ii) profitability.

     Administrative. The overall goal achievement percentage is the sum of (i) the
accomplishment percentage of each performance target times (ii) the weighting for each
objective. Thus, if one or more targets is exceeded, it is possible the overall goal achievement
percentage could be greater than 100%. All financial targets are considered to be plus or minus 1%
of the absolute number. In order to provide flexibility to management to operate and grow the
company, awards may be adjusted for any major events during the year; provided that, any adjustment
must be approved by the compensation committee and the board of directors. The allocation of the
aggregate awards among the officers will be determined by the compensation committee and the board
of directors based on their assessment of the contributions of each officer.

     Award Minimums/Maximums. In order to receive an award under the plan, a minimum
aggregate performance level of 85% must be achieved. All cash and equity bonuses are capped at a
maximum of 120% of the amounts that would be earned for an aggregate performance level of 100%. At
an overall goal achievement percentage of 100%, the cash bonus award for the three officers
combined is an aggregate of $1,575,000, and the equity bonus award for the three officers combined
is an aggregate of 100,000 shares of restricted stock. For amounts earned above or below the 100%
performance level, the exact amount will be determined on a straight-line basis. All equity awards
will be in the form of restricted stock granted pursuant to the I-Flow Corporation 2001 Equity
Incentive Plan.

     Vesting of Equity Awards. Equity awards will consist of grants of restricted stock.
The restrictions will lapse and the shares will vest 50% on the first anniversary of the grant date
and 50% on the second anniversary of the grant date.

     Payment of Awards. After completion of the fiscal year, the compensation committee
will review the plan objectives and results and the recommendations of executive management. The
board of directors will assess the performance of the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Operating
Officer and the Chief Financial Officer and will, upon recommendation from the compensation
committee, approve the cash bonus awards and equity grants. Earned cash bonus awards are typically
paid each year in February. To be eligible for awards under the plan, all employees must be on the
Company’s payroll through the date of payment of the cash bonus.`

AMENDMENT NO. 3 TO RIGHTS AGREEMENT

     This Amendment No. 3 (this “Amendment”) to Rights Agreement, effective as of December
3, 1998, as amended on July 21, 2000 and December 14, 2005 (the “Rights Agreement”), is
effective as of March 1, 2006, by and between La Jolla Pharmaceutical Company, a Delaware
corporation (the “Corporation”) and American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, a New York
corporation (the “Rights Agent”). Capitalized terms used herein but not defined herein
shall have their defined meanings set forth in the Rights Agreement.

     WHEREAS, the Corporation and the Rights Agent entered into the Rights Agreement, effective as
of December 3, 1998;

     WHEREAS, the Rights Agreement was amended, as of July 21, 2000, to amend the terms of the
Rights Agreement to eliminate the concept and powers of the Continuing Directors and to amend the
definition of “Acquiring Person” to permit the State of Wisconsin Investment Board to invest up to
a level of just under 20% beneficial ownership without triggering the Rights Agreement;

     WHEREAS, the Rights Agreement was further amended as of December 14, 2005, to amend the
definition of “Acquiring Person” to permit Essex Woodlands Health Ventures Fund VI, L.P. to invest
up to a level of just under 29% and to permit Frazier Healthcare V, LP to invest up to a level of
just under 19% beneficial ownership without triggering the Rights Agreement; and

     WHEREAS, the parties hereto wish to amend the Rights Agreement to further amend the definition
of “Acquiring Person” to permit Alejandro Gonzalez to invest up to a level of just under 19%
beneficial ownership without triggering the Rights Agreement.

     NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereby agree as follows:

     1. Section 1(a) is hereby deleted in its entirety and the following is inserted in lieu
thereof:

"(a) “Acquiring Person” shall mean any Person who or which, together with all
Affiliates and Associates of such Person, without the prior approval of the Board of
Directors of the Corporation, shall become, after the date hereof, the Beneficial Owner
of 15% or more (or, in the case of State of Wisconsin Investment Board, 20% or more; or,
in the case of Essex Woodlands Health Ventures Fund VI, L.P., 29% or more; or, in the
case of Frazier Healthcare V, LP, 19% or more; or, in the case of Alejandro Gonzalez, 19%
or more) of the shares of Common Stock then outstanding, but shall not include an Exempt
Person, or a Person who or which, together with its Affiliates and Associates, shall
become the Beneficial Owner of 15% or more (or, in the case of State of Wisconsin
Investment Board, 20% or more; or, in the case of Essex Woodlands Health Ventures Fund
VI, L.P., 29% or more; or, in the case of Frazier Healthcare V, LP, 19% or more; or, in
the case of Alejandro Gonzalez, 19% or more) of the shares of Common Stock then
outstanding solely as a result of a reduction in the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding due to a repurchase of Common Stock

 

 

by the Corporation, unless such Person shall thereafter purchase or otherwise become the
Beneficial Owner of additional shares of Common Stock representing 1% of the shares of
Common Stock then outstanding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Board of Directors
of the Corporation determines in good faith that a Person who would otherwise be an
“Acquiring Person,” as defined pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this paragraph
(a), has become such inadvertently, and such Person divests as promptly as practicable a
sufficient number of shares of Common Stock so that such Person would no longer be an
“Acquiring Person,” as defined pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this paragraph
(a), then such Person shall not be deemed to be an “Acquiring Person” for any purposes of
this Agreement. Furthermore, notwithstanding the foregoing, no stockholder of the
Corporation beneficially owning as of the Rights Dividend Declaration Date (together with
such stockholder’s Affiliates and Associates) 15% or more of the shares of Common Stock
outstanding as of the date of this Agreement (an “Original 15% Stockholder”)
shall be an Acquiring Person unless and until such Original 15% Stockholder or any of
such stockholder’s Associates or Affiliates shall, after the Rights Declaration Date,
acquire any additional shares of Common Stock without the prior approval of the Board of
Directors of the Corporation (set forth in a resolution of the Board), at which point
such stockholder shall be an Acquiring Person if, immediately following and giving effect
to such acquisition, such Original 15% Stockholder, together with all such stockholder’s
Affiliates and Associates, shall be the Beneficial Owner of 15% or more of the shares of
Common Stock then outstanding.”

     2. Section 3(a) is hereby deleted in its entirety and the following is inserted in lieu
thereof:

"(a) Until the earlier of (i) the Close of Business on the tenth (10th) day after the
Stock Acquisition Date (or, if the tenth (10th) day after the Stock Acquisition Date
occurs before the Record Date, the Close of Business on the Record Date), or (ii) the
Close of Business on the tenth (10th) day after the date that a tender or exchange offer
by any Person (other than an Exempt Person) is first published or sent or given within
the meaning of Rule 14d-2(a) of the General Rules and Regulations under the Exchange Act,
if, upon consummation thereof, such Person, together with its Affiliates and Associates,
would be the Beneficial Owner of 15% or more of the shares of Common Stock then
outstanding, or, in the case of the State of Wisconsin Investment Board, Essex Woodlands
Health Ventures Fund VI, L.P., Frazier Healthcare V, LP, and Alejandro Gonzalez, if State
of Wisconsin Investment Board, together with its Affiliates and Associates, would be the
Beneficial Owner of 20%, Essex Woodlands Health Ventures Fund VI, L.P., together with its
Affiliates and Associates, would be the Beneficial Owner of 29%, or Frazier Healthcare V,
LP, together with its Affiliates and Associates, would be the Beneficial Owner of 19%, or
Alejandro Gonzalez would be the Beneficial Owner of 19%, or more of the shares of Common
Stock then outstanding (irrespective of whether any shares are actually purchased
pursuant to any such offer) (each of the time periods in (i) and (ii) being subject to
extension as provided in Section 27 and the earliest of (i) and (ii) being herein
referred to as the “Distribution Date”), (x) the Rights will be evidenced
(subject to the provisions of paragraph (b) of this Section 3) by the
certificates for the Common Stock registered in

2

 

the names of the holders of the Common Stock (which certificates for Common Stock shall
be deemed also to be certificates for Rights) and not by separate certificates, and (y)
each Right will be transferable only in connection with the transfer of the underlying
share of Common Stock (including a transfer to the Corporation). As soon as practicable
after the Distribution Date, the Rights Agent will send to each record holder of the
Common Stock as of the Close of Business on the Distribution Date, at the address of such
holder shown on the records of the Corporation, one or more rights certificates in
substantially the form of Exhibit B hereto (the “Rights Certificates”),
evidencing one Right for each share of Common Stock so held, subject to adjustment as
provided herein. In the event that an adjustment in the number of Rights per share of
Common Stock has been made pursuant to Section 11(p), at the time of distribution of the
Rights Certificates, the Corporation shall make the necessary and appropriate rounding
adjustments (in accordance with Section 14(a)) so that Rights Certificates representing
only whole numbers of Rights are distributed and cash is paid in lieu of any fractional
Rights. As of and after the Distribution Date, the Rights will be evidenced solely by
such Rights Certificates.”

     3. Section 11(a)(ii) is hereby deleted in its entirety and the following is inserted in lieu
thereof:

"(ii) Subject to Section 23(a) and Section 24, in the event any Person (other than an
Exempt Person), alone or together with its Affiliates and Associates, shall, at any time
after the Rights Dividend Declaration Date, become an Acquiring Person, unless the event
causing the 15% threshold (or in the case of State of Wisconsin Investment Board, 20%
threshold; or, in the case of Essex Woodlands Health Ventures Fund VI, L.P., 29%
threshold; or, in the case of Frazier Healthcare V, LP, 19% threshold, or, in the case of
Alejandro Gonzalez, 19% threshold) to be crossed is a transaction set forth in Section
13(a), or is an acquisition of shares of Common Stock pursuant to a tender offer or an
exchange offer for all outstanding shares of Common Stock at a price and on terms
determined by the Board of Directors of the Corporation, after receiving advice from one
or more investment banking firms, to be (a) at a price which is fair to stockholders of
the Corporation (taking into account all factors which such members of the Board deem
relevant including, without limitation, prices which could reasonably be achieved if the
Corporation or its assets were sold on an orderly basis designed to realize maximum
value) and (b) otherwise in the best interests of the Corporation and its stockholders,
then, proper provision shall be made so that each holder of a Right (except as provided
below and in Section 7(e)) shall thereafter have the right to receive, upon exercise
thereof at the then current Purchase Price in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement, in lieu of a number of one one-thousandths of a share of Preferred Stock, such
number of shares of Common Stock of the Corporation as shall equal the result obtained by
(x) multiplying the then current Purchase Price by the then number of one one-thousandths
of a share of Preferred Stock for which a Right was exercisable immediately prior to the
occurrence of a Section 11(a)(ii) Event, and (y) dividing that product (which, following
such occurrence, shall thereafter be referred to as the “Purchase Price” for each
Right and for all purposes of this Agreement) by 50% of the Current Market Price
(determined pursuant to Section 11(d)) per share of Common Stock on the date of such
occurrence (such number of

3

 

shares is herein called the “Adjustment Shares”); provided that
the Purchase Price and the number of Adjustment Shares shall be further adjusted as
provided in this Agreement to reflect any events occurring after the date of such
occurrence; and provided, further, that if the transaction that would otherwise give rise
to the foregoing adjustment is also subject to the provisions of Section 13, then only
the provisions of Section 13 shall apply and no adjustment shall be made pursuant to this
Section 11(a)(ii).”

     4. Exhibit C is hereby deleted in its entirety and Exhibit C attached hereto and incorporated
by reference herein is inserted in lieu thereof.

     5. Except as expressly set forth in this Amendment all other terms of the Rights Agreement
shall remain in full force and effect.

     6. This Amendment shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State
of Delaware applicable to contracts made and to be performed entirely within such State.

     7. This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts and each of such counterparts
shall for all purposes be deemed to be an original, and all such counterparts shall together
constitute but one and the same instrument.

Summary of Rights to Purchase

Preferred Stock

of

La Jolla Pharmaceutical Company

     On November 19, 1998 (the “Rights Dividend Declaration Date”) the Board of Directors
of La Jolla Pharmaceutical Company (the “Corporation”) declared a dividend of one Right (a
“Right”) for each outstanding share of Corporation Common Stock to be distributed to
stockholders of record at the close of business on December 18, 1998 (the “Record Date”).
Each Right entitles the registered holder to purchase from the Corporation one one-thousandth of a
share (a “Unit”) of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock (the “Preferred
Stock”) at a “Purchase Price” of $30, subject to adjustment. The description and terms
of the Rights are set forth in a Rights Agreement (as amended from time to time, the “Rights
Agreement”) dated December 3, 1998, between the Corporation and American Stock Transfer & Trust
Company, as Rights Agent. Effective as of July 21, 2000, the Corporation and the Rights Agent
entered into an Amendment to the Rights Agreement (“Amendment No. 1”) which (a) eliminated
the concept and powers of the “Continuing Directors” and (b) amended the definition of “Acquiring
Person” to permit the State of Wisconsin Investment Board to invest up to a level of just under 20%
beneficial ownership without triggering the Rights Agreement. Effective as of December 14, 2005,
the Corporation and the Rights Agent entered into Amendment No. 2 to Rights Agreement
(“Amendment No. 2”) which further amended the definition of “Acquiring Person” to permit
Essex Woodlands Health Ventures Fund VI, L.P. and Frazier Healthcare V, LP to invest up to a level
of just under 29% and 19% beneficial ownership, respectively, without triggering the Rights
Agreement. Effective as of March 1, 2006, the Corporation and the Rights Agent entered into
Amendment No. 3 to Rights Agreement (“Amendment No. 3”) which further amended the
definition of “Acquiring Person” to permit Alejandro Gonzalez to invest up to a level of just under
19% beneficial ownership without triggering the Rights Agreement.

     A copy of the Rights Agreement has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission as
an Exhibit to a Registration Statement on Form 8-A dated December 4, 1998, a copy of Amendment No.
1 has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission as an Exhibit to a Current Report on
Form 8-K filed on January 26, 2001, a copy of Amendment No. 2 has been filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission as an Exhibit to a Current Report on Form 8-K filed on December 16, 2005,
and a copy of Amendment No. 3 has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission as an
Exhibit to a Current Report on Form 8-K filed on March 1, 2006. A copy of the Rights Agreement,
Amendment No. 1, Amendment No. 2 and Amendment No. 3 are available free of charge from the
Corporation. This summary description of the Rights does not purport to be complete and is
qualified in its entirety by reference to the Rights Agreement, Amendment No. 1, Amendment No. 2
and Amendment No. 3, which are incorporated herein by reference. A more detailed summary is also
attached to the Post-Effective Amendment No. 3 to Form 8-A filed on March 1, 2006 with the
Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with the amendment of the rights plan, and can be
viewed on the Securities and Exchange Commission’s web site at www.sec.gov or obtained from the
Corporation upon request.

 

 

     Each share of Common Stock of the Corporation outstanding at the close of business on the
Record Date received one Right. In addition, prior to the earliest of the Distribution Date, a
Section 13 Event or the Expiration Date (as each is described below), one additional Right (as such
number may be adjusted pursuant to the provisions of the Rights Agreement) shall be issued with
each share of Common Stock issued after the Record Date. Following the Distribution Date and prior
to the expiration or redemption of the Rights, the Corporation will issue one Right (as such number
may be adjusted pursuant to the provisions of the Rights Agreement) for each share of Common Stock
issued pursuant to the exercise of stock options or under employee plans or upon the exercise,
conversion or exchange of securities issued by the Corporation prior to the Distribution Date.

     Until the Distribution Date (as described below), (i) the Rights will attach to and be
evidenced by the Common Stock certificates and will be transferred with and only with such Common
Stock certificates, (ii) new Common Stock certificates issued after December 18, 1998 will contain
a notation incorporating the Rights Agreement by reference and (iii) the surrender for transfer of
any certificates for Common Stock outstanding will also constitute the transfer of the Rights
associated with the Common Stock represented by such certificate.

     The Rights are not exercisable until the Distribution Date and will expire at the earliest of:
(i) the close of business on December 2, 2008; (ii) the date of redemption of the Rights; (iii)
the date the Board of Directors of the Corporation orders the exchange of Rights; or (iv) the date
of consummation of a tender offer approved as fair to and in the best interests of the Corporation
and its stockholders and adequately priced with each stockholder receiving the same consideration
per share in the same manner (the “Expiration Date”).

     The Rights will separate from the Common Stock and a Distribution Date will occur (the
“Distribution Date”) upon the earlier of 10 days (or such longer time as may be determined
by the Corporation’s Board of Directors following (i) a public announcement (or determination by
the Corporation’s Board of Directors) that a person or group of affiliated or associated persons
(an “Acquiring Person”) has acquired, or obtained the right to acquire, beneficial
ownership of 15% or more (or, in the case of State of Wisconsin Investment Board, 20% or more; or,
in the case of Essex Woodlands Health Ventures Fund VI, L.P., 29% or more; or, in the case of
Frazier Healthcare V, LP, 19% or more; or, in the case of Alejandro Gonzalez, 19% or more) of the
outstanding shares of Common Stock (the “Stock Acquisition Date”), or (ii) the commencement
of a tender offer or exchange offer that would result in a person or group beneficially owning 15%
or more (or, in the case of State of Wisconsin Investment Board, 20% or more; or, in the case of
Essex Woodlands Health Ventures Fund VI, L.P., 29% or more; or, in the case of Frazier Healthcare
V, LP, 19% or more; or, in the case of Alejandro Gonzalez, 19% or more) of such outstanding shares
of Common Stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, the trigger percentage expressed in
clauses (i) and (ii) above will not be triggered with respect to Abbott Laboratories unless and
until Abbott Laboratories (or its affiliated and associated persons) acquires, after the Rights
Dividend Declaration Date, any additional shares of Common Stock without the prior approval of the
Board of Directors of the Corporation and if, immediately following and giving effect to such
acquisition, Abbott Laboratories (together with its affiliated and associated persons) is the
beneficial owner of 15% or more of the shares of Common Stock then outstanding.

 

 

     As soon as practicable after the Distribution Date, Rights Certificates will be mailed to
holders of record of the Common Stock as of the close of business on the Distribution Date and,
thereafter, the separate Rights Certificates alone will represent the Rights.

     At any time after the Distribution Date but prior to the Expiration Date of the Rights, each
right may be exercised at the stated purchase price of $30 (subject to adjustment, the
“Exercise Price”) for one one-thousandth of a share of the Preferred Stock; provided,
however, that upon the occurrence of any of the events described below, the Rights may no longer be
exercised for Preferred Stock and may only be exercised for certain other securities described
below.

     In the event that on or at any time following the Rights Dividend Declaration Date, either (i)
a person (other than Abbott Laboratories) becomes the beneficial owner of more than 15% (or, in the
case of State of Wisconsin Investment Board, more than 20%; or, in the case of Essex Woodlands
Health Ventures Fund VI, L.P., more than 29%; or, in the case of Frazier Healthcare V, LP, more
than 19%; or, in the case of Alejandro Gonzalez, more than 19%) of the then outstanding shares of
Common Stock, or (ii) Abbott Laboratories acquires any additional shares of Common Stock without
the prior approval of the Board of Directors, and if, immediately following and giving effect to
such acquisition, Abbott Laboratories beneficially owns 15% or more of the then outstanding shares
of Common Stock (in either case except pursuant to an offer for all outstanding shares of Common
Stock which the Board of Directors determines to be fair to and otherwise in the best interests of
the Corporation and its stockholders), then each holder of a Right will thereafter have the right
to receive, upon exercise, Common Stock (or, in certain circumstances, cash, property or other
securities of the Corporation) having a value equal to two times the Purchase Price of the Right.
Rights are exercisable following the occurrence of the foregoing only after such time as the Rights
are no longer redeemable by the Corporation, as set forth below. Notwithstanding any of the
foregoing, following the occurrence of the event set forth in this paragraph, all Rights that are,
or (under certain circumstances specified in the Rights Agreement) were, beneficially owned by any
Acquiring Person will be null and void.

     In the event that, at any time following the Stock Acquisition Date, (i) the Corporation is
acquired in a merger or other business combination transaction in which the Corporation is not the
surviving corporation or in which the Corporation’s outstanding Common Stock is exchanged for cash,
stock or other property (other than a merger which follows an offer for all outstanding shares
described in the preceding paragraph), or (ii) 50% or more of the Corporation’s assets or earning
power is sold or transferred, each holder of a Right (except Rights which previously have been
voided as set forth above) shall thereafter have the right to receive, upon exercise, common stock
of the acquiring company having a value equal to two times the Purchase Price of the Right. (An
event described in this paragraph is a “Section 13 Event.”)

     The Purchase Price payable, and the number of Units of Preferred Stock or other securities or
property issuable, upon exercise of the Rights are subject to adjustment from time to time to
prevent dilution, as set forth in the Rights Agreement. With certain exceptions, no adjustment in
the Purchase Price will be required until cumulative adjustments amount to at least 1% of the
Purchase Price. No fractional Rights, fractions of shares of Preferred Stock (other than fractions
which are integral multiples of one one-thousandth of a share), or fractional shares of Common
Stock will be issued and, in lieu thereof, an adjustment in cash will be made based on

 

 

the market price of the Rights, Preferred Stock, or Common Stock, respectively, on the last
trading date prior to the date of exercise.

     In general, the Corporation may redeem the Rights in whole, but not in part, at a price of
$0.001 per Right, at any time until ten days following the Stock Acquisition Date (or such later
date as may be determined by the Corporation’s Board of Directors). Immediately upon the action of
the Board of Directors ordering redemption of the Rights, the Rights will terminate and the only
right of the holders of Rights will be to receive the $0.001 redemption price.

     At any time after a person becomes beneficial owner of 15% or more (or, in the case of State
of Wisconsin Investment Board, 20% or more; or, in the case of Essex Woodlands Health Ventures Fund
VI, L.P., 29% or more; or, in the case of Frazier Healthcare V, LP, 19% or more; or, in the case of
Alejandro Gonzalez, 19% or more) of the Common Stock then outstanding, and prior to the first date
upon which that person becomes the beneficial owner of at least 50% of the outstanding Common
Stock, the Corporation may, by majority vote of the Board of Directors, exchange some or all of the
outstanding Rights (other than those that have become void) for shares of Common Stock at an
exchange ratio of one share of Common Stock per Right, appropriately adjusted for splits,
dividends, and similar transactions (the “Ratio of Exchange”). Immediately upon the action
of the Board of Directors ordering the exchange of the Rights, the Rights will terminate and the
only right of the holders of Rights will be to receive the number of Common Shares equal to the
Ratio of Exchange.

     Until a Right is exercised, the holder thereof, as such, will have no rights as a stockholder
of the Corporation, including, without limitation, the right to vote or to receive dividends.

     Other than those provisions relating to the redemption price of the Rights, any of the
provisions of the Rights Agreement may be supplemented or amended by the Board of Directors prior
to the Distribution Date, without approval of the Rights holders, whether or not a supplement or
amendment is adverse to the Rights holders. After the Distribution Date, the provisions of the
Rights Agreement (other than the provisions relating to the redemption price or the final
expiration date of the Rights) may be amended by the Board of Directors in order to make changes
which do not materially and adversely affect the interests of holders of Rights (excluding the
interests of any Acquiring Person), provided, however, that the Rights Agreement
may not be amended to (i) make the Rights again redeemable after the Rights have ceased to be
redeemable, or (ii) change any other time period unless such change is for the benefit of the
holders (excluding any Acquiring Person).
