[Title]

[Address]

Dear [Executive]:

[We would like to take the opportunity following the spin-off from Cardinal
Health to confirm your compensation package. Enclosed is important information
about your individual position, benefits and rewards at CareFusion Corporation
(the “Company”). A summary of your new compensation package, including
applicable benefit plans, guidelines and programs, is set forth below.]

[This letter supplements your existing employment offer letter, which outlines a
supplemental compensation arrangement to be provided by CareFusion Corporation
(“Company”) on your behalf. I am pleased to present the following additions to
your total rewards package:]

 

1. Position

Effective 8/31/2009, your position will be                     , reporting to
                    .

 

2. Base Salary

Effective 8/31/2009, your initial annual base salary will be $        , and your
cash compensation profile will be reviewed along with all other employees of the
Company at regular intervals. In addition, any changes to your base compensation
will require approval by the Human Resources and Compensation Committee of the
Board of Directors of the Company.

 

3. Management Incentive Plan (MIP)

You will be eligible to participate in the Company’s annual MIP. For FY10, your
target annual incentive will be     % of your base salary. Funding for FY10 MIP
awards will be based on Earnings before Interest and Tax (EBIT) and Operating
Cash Flow goals, subject to the terms and conditions of the MIP.

 

4. Long Term Incentive Plan (LTI)

You will be eligible to participate in the Company’s long term incentive program
for senior management. For FY10, the Company’s long term incentive award is
scheduled to occur in September 2009. Based on the annual base salary in
paragraph 2 of this letter, the target “expected value” for your long term
incentive award for FY10 will be     % of base salary, or $         (“LTI
Target”). Your LTI Target is expected to be delivered to you based on the
following mix:     % stock options,     % restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and
    % performance

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

share units (PSUs). The options and RSUs will vest in annual installments of
33.33% on each of the first three anniversaries of the grant date, and will be
subject to the terms of the grant documents. The performance share units will
vest upon CareFusion attaining certain performance goals that will be
established by the Board of Directors and according to the terms of the grant
document. As the PSUs are expected to be granted every other year (FY10, FY12,
FY14, etc.), the value of the awards delivered in FY10 will be two times the
annual target value for this component. These awards are subject to the approval
of the Human Resources and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of
the Company.

 

5. Founders Grant

You will be eligible to receive a one-time supplemental Founders Grant of RSUs,
equal to 100% of your LTI Target provided in paragraph 4 above, subject to
approval by the Human Resources and Compensation Committee of the Board of
Directors. The number of RSUs will equal the expected value divided by the
closing stock price on the grant date. The grant date of the Founders Grant will
be on the same date as the FY10 annual LTI grant. The Founders Grant will vest
in annual installments of 33.33% on each of the first three anniversaries of the
grant date, and will be subject to the terms of the grant documents. The RSUs
for the Founders Grant as well as the annual RSU awards may be deferred if you
so elect on the enclosed election form.
