April 13, 2005

Dear Jeff,

It is with great pleasure that I confirm in writing our offer of employment to
you. All of us who have met with you enthusiastically believe you represent an
exceptional fit with Cardinal Health and a superb addition to the executive
management team. The major provisions of your offer are:

1.    The position is Executive Vice President, effective as of your start date,
      and Chief Financial Officer, effective as of May 15, 2005, reporting
      directly to me. You will also serve on the Executive Committee of Cardinal
      Health and the CEO Strategy Committee.

2.    Your initial annual base salary will be $550,000, and your cash
      compensation profile will be reviewed along with all other officers of
      Cardinal Health at regular annual intervals with the Human Resources and
      Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (Compensation Committee).

3.    You will be eligible to participate in our Management Incentive Plan
      (MIP). Your target annual incentive will be 100% of your base salary. Your
      incentive for the remainder of fiscal year 2005 (ending June 30, 2005)
      will be guaranteed at target, prorated for your start date through the end
      of this fiscal year. In addition, we will guarantee 50% of your target
      bonus amount for fiscal year 2006.

4.    You will receive a stock option grant along with a grant of Restricted
      Share Units (RSU's), which represents both a prorated grant for fiscal
      year 2005 and a pull-forward grant for fiscal year 2006, which you would
      have been eligible to receive in August, 2005. You will be granted,
      effective on your start date, a grant of 60,000 option shares, along with
      a grant of 9,000 RSU's. The 60,000 options will vest in four equal annual
      installments of 25% each year immediately following the grant date, and
      will expire on the anniversary of the grant date in 2012. The 9,000 RSU's
      will vest in three equal annual installments of 33.3% each year
      immediately following the grant date.

      In addition, you will receive on your start date:

         o        12,000 Restricted Share Units, with a three-year cliff
                  vesting.

         o        The cash value of 3,000 Cardinal Health shares on your start
                  date. If you voluntarily resign from Cardinal Health within
                  your first year of employment, the value of this award would
                  be repayable by you to the Company.

         o        An additional option grant, with a three-year cliff vesting,
                  whose Black-Scholes present value shall be the remainder of
                  the total value of the above two awards subtracted from $1.8
                  million. This option will expire on the anniversary of the
                  grant date in 2015.

      All of the options listed above will be granted at the price of Cardinal
      Health stock at the close of market on your start date. All of the above
      RSUs will be payable at least six months after your separation from
      Cardinal Health. You will be eligible for the next regular annual grant of
      stock or stock options in fiscal year 2007, expected to be granted in
      August, 2006.

5.    You are eligible to participate in the Cardinal Health Profit Sharing,
      Retirement and Savings Plan (including a 401(k) feature) on the first day
      of the month following one full calendar month of employment (provided you
      work 20 hours a week or more). You may contribute up to 50% of your
      pre-tax earnings to the Plan (subject to IRS maximum). Cardinal Health
      matches employee contributions at a rate equal to 100% for each dollar
      contributed up to 3% of pay and then 50% on the next 2% of pay. In
      addition, the Company has an annual defined contribution of 3%. Employees
      are immediately 100% vested in matching contributions and 100% vested in
      the defined contributions after three years of continuous service.
      Enrollment information will be sent to you by our Plan administrator,
      prior to your eligibility date.

6.    You will be eligible to participate in the Cardinal Health Deferred
      Compensation Plan (Non-Qualified Plan) that complements our 401(k) Plan
      and enables the highly compensated employee to continue to save over and
      above the IRS limits in the 401(k) qualified plan. You may contribute up
      to 20 percent of your total eligible compensation. Cardinal Health matches
      dollar for dollar on the first 3 percent and 50 cents on the next 2
      percent of salary deferred between $210,000 and $310,000. These matching
      dollars vest immediately. The Company also contributes a 3 percent annual
      contribution for eligible compensation earned between $210,000 and
      $310,000. In addition, the Company provides a social security integration
      contribution of 3 percent for eligible compensation between $90,000 and
      $310,000. These 3 percent company contributions vest after 3 years of
      service.

7.    You will be eligible to participate in the Cardinal Health Employee Stock
      Purchase Plan at the beginning of the next offering period under the terms
      specified in the Plan. You have the opportunity to purchase Cardinal
      Health stock at a 15% discount through after-tax payroll deductions. There
      are two offering periods each year, January - June and July - December.
      Enrollment information will be provided to you prior to the next eligible
      offering period after your employment date.

8.    You will be eligible for participation in our group benefits program on
      your date of hire. This program includes coverage for medical, dental,
      vision, life insurance, accidental death and dismemberment, short-term and
      long-term disability.

9.    Your first day of employment will be mutually agreed to upon acceptance of
      this offer.

10.   Consistent with our policies for all Cardinal Health personnel and the
      special consideration of our industry, this offer is contingent upon the
      taking of a company-paid drug screening test, as well as background check,
      the results of which must be negative and received prior to the above
      start date.

11.   If your employment is involuntarily terminated without cause within the
      first three years of your start date, the Company will provide you with
      severance equal to twelve months of your starting base salary.
      Additionally, if within 60 days following the 18-month anniversary of your
      start date you provide 60 days notice of your voluntary resignation from
      Cardinal Health, and so long as at the time Cardinal Health receives such
      notice and for the 60-day period thereafter, Cardinal Health does not have
      grounds to terminate your employment for gross misconduct, then you will
      receive the following:

         o        A cash payment equal to two times (2X) the sum of your
                  starting annual base salary and annual target bonus, which
                  will be paid to you in equal monthly installments over a
                  period of 12 months; provided, however, that if you disclose
                  or use in any capacity other than as necessary in the
                  performance of duties assigned by the Company any confidential
                  information, trade secrets or other business sensitive
                  information or material concerning the Company or its
                  subsidiaries at any time during this 12-month payout period,
                  any installment of this cash payment already paid out to you
                  would be repayable by you to the Company and you will forfeit
                  any future installments due to you under this provision;

         o        An additional cash payment equal to 50% of your starting
                  annual target bonus, which will be paid to you in full upon
                  your resignation date; and

         o        100% vesting of the RSU grants specified in paragraph 4 above,
                  which will occur upon your resignation date. The RSU grants
                  will be payable per their terms at least six months after your
                  separation from Cardinal Health.

      If the severance payments above are ever deemed to be covered by recently
      adopted deferred compensation tax rules (Section 409A of the Internal
      Revenue Code), it may be necessary for Cardinal Health to delay
      commencing your severance payments until after the six month anniversary
      of your termination of employment.

12.   You will be eligible for the Company's executive relocation program, which
      will be forwarded to you as soon as possible.

13.   We will continue to review additional compensation-related issues
      associated with your transition: tax equalization, lease commitment,
      repatriation commitments and commuting expenses.

14.   Your employment with Cardinal Health is terminable with or without notice
      at the will of either you or the Company at any time for any reason. There
      shall be no contract, express or implied, of employment.

15.   This offer is subject to formal approval by the Compensation and Executive
      Committees of our Board of Directors.

Jeff, I understand you may have some follow up questions once you have had the
opportunity to review the details of this offer. Please feel free to call Tony
Rucci or me to discuss any specific questions on the offer.

Sincerely,

Financial Officer of the Company;

                  WHEREAS, effective on the Separation Date, Executive resigned
as an employee of the Company, and from any and all offices of the Company and
its subsidiaries, and any other position, office or directorship of any other
entity for which Executive was serving at the request of the Company; and

                  WHEREAS, the Company accepts Executive's resignation as of the
date referenced above; and

                  WHEREAS, the Company and Executive desire to set forth the
payments and benefits that Executive will be entitled to receive from the
Company in connection with his resignation from employment with the Company; and

                  WHEREAS, the Company and Executive wish to resolve, settle
and/or compromise certain matters, claims and issues between them, including,
without limitation, Executive's resignation from the offices he held and from

                  NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and
agreements contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the
sufficiency and receipt of which are hereby acknowledged, and intending to be
legally bound, the Company and Executive hereby agree as follows:

Company and Executive agree to the following:

Paragraph 4.c.(iv) hereof if Executive has not exercised his right of revocation
pursuant to such paragraph prior to such date. All of Executive's Stock Options
shall be cancelled as of the effective time of the merger with Mittal Steel
Company and Executive will receive in cash an amount equal to the difference

that the Company's payment obligations and Executive's participation rights
under this Paragraph 2.b. shall cease in the event Executive breaches any of the

Executive's resignation and all matters relating to the negotiation and
execution of the releases and all other matters covered by this Agreement;
provided however, that Executive shall be entitled to reimbursement of
reasonable attorney fees and expenses in connection with the enforcement of
Executive's rights under this agreement, provided that Executive is the
prevailing party in such a proceeding or dispute.

                  D. COMPANY BENEFIT PLANS. Except as provided above in
Paragraph 2.b. of this Agreement, Executive's post-Separation Date eligibility
for benefits, if any, as a past employee of the Company under the Company's
retirement and welfare benefit plans shall be as set forth in the respective
plan documents and shall be based on his employment termination on the
Separation Date, and his entitlement to benefits for the period of his
participation therein shall be determined pursuant to the terms thereof.

                  E. BUSINESS EXPENSES. The Company will reimburse Executive for
any reasonable business expenses incurred by Executive prior to the Separation
Date that are reimbursable pursuant to the Company's expense reimbursement
policies. All expense reimbursement requests must be presented to the Company
for payment not later than 30 days following the Separation Date.

                  F. ACCRUED SALARY. Executive shall be paid in accordance with
the Company's normal payroll cycle the gross amount of $14,583.33, less required

restrictive covenants. If Executive fails to abide by any of the following
covenants, the Company may cease any remaining payments or benefits payable to
Executive hereunder.

                  A. For a period of 12 months after termination of the
Executive's employment with the Company, Executive shall not within the United
States, Canada and/or Mexico (i) engage, directly or indirectly, whether as an
employee, officer, director, consultant or otherwise, in the research,
development, manufacture, marketing, sale or distribution of steel or steel
products similar to those products sold or developed by the Company and/or any
Controlled Group member; (ii) solicit, directly, or indirectly, whether as an
employee, officer, director, consultant or otherwise, any person or entity which
is then a customer of the Company and/or any Controlled Group member or has been
a customer or solicited by the Company and/or any Controlled Group member for a
one (1) year period, to purchase steel or steel products from any entity other
than the Company and/or any Controlled Group member; (iii) solicit for
employment, engage and/or hire, whether directly or indirectly, any individual
who is then employed by the Company and/or any Controlled Group member; and/or
(iv) encourage or induce, whether directly or indirectly, any individual who is
then employed by the Company and/or any Controlled Group member to end his/her
business relationship with the Company and/or any Controlled Group member.

                  B. Executive will keep in strict confidence, and will not,
directly or indirectly, at any time during or after the Benefit Period,
disclose, furnish, disseminate, make available or, except in the course of
performing Executive's duties of employment, use any trade secrets or
confidential business and technical information of the Company or any Controlled
Group member or their customers or vendors, including without limitation as to
when or how Executive may have acquired such information. Such confidential
information shall include, without limitation, the Company's and any Controlled
Group member's unique selling, manufacturing and servicing methods and business
techniques, training, service and business manuals, promotional materials,
training courses and other training and instructional materials, vendor and
product information, customer and prospective customer lists, other customer and
prospective customer information and other business information. Executive
specifically acknowledges that all such confidential information, whether
reduced to writing, maintained on any form of electronic media, or maintained in
Executive's mind or memory and whether compiled by the Company, any Controlled
Group member and/or Executive, derives independent economic value from not being
readily known to or ascertainable by proper means by others who can obtain
economic value from its disclosure or use, that reasonable efforts have been
made by the Company and the Controlled Group members to maintain the secrecy of
such information, that such information is the sole property of the Company or
the Controlled Group members and that any retention and use of such information
by Executive during the Benefit Period shall constitute a misappropriation of
the Company's or any Controlled Group member's trade secrets.

                  C. For purposes of this Paragraph 3, "Controlled Group" shall
mean the Company and any other entity which is a member of the Company's
controlled group (as such term is defined in Sections 414(b) or 414(c) of the
Internal Revenue Code).

         6. BREACH.

                  A. If Executive breaches any of the provisions of this
Agreement (and in the case of a breach that is capable of being cured, fails to
cure such breach within fifteen days after written notice by the Company to
Executive specifying the circumstances that constitute such breach), then the
Company may, at its sole option, immediately terminate all remaining benefits
described in this Agreement and obtain reimbursement from Executive of all
payments and benefits already provided pursuant to Paragraph 2 of this
Agreement, plus any expenses and damages incurred as a result of the breach
(including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees), with the remainder
of this Agreement, and all promises and covenants herein, remaining in full
force and effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company will not terminate
pursuant to Paragraph 6.a. above any benefits to which Executive is entitled
under any tax-qualified retirement plan of the Company, and Executive's rights
under COBRA, if any, will not be reduced by any action taken by the Company
under Paragraph 6.a. above.

                  B. Executive acknowledges and agrees that the remedy at law
available to the Company for breach by Executive of any of his obligations under
Paragraphs 3 and 5 of this Agreement would be inadequate and that damages
flowing from such a breach would not readily be susceptible to being measured in
monetary terms. Accordingly, Executive acknowledges, consents and agrees that,
in addition to any other rights or remedies which the Company may have at law,
in equity or under this Agreement, upon adequate proof of Executive's violation
of any provision of Paragraphs 3 or 5 of this Agreement, the Company shall be
entitled to immediate injunctive relief and may obtain a temporary order
restraining any threatened or further breach, without the necessity of proof of
actual damage.

         7. CONTINUED AVAILABILITY AND COOPERATION.

                  A. Executive shall cooperate fully with the Company, the
Company's counsel and the Company's insurer in connection with any present and
future actual or threatened litigation or administrative proceeding involving
the Company that relates to events, occurrences or conduct occurring (or claimed
to have occurred) during the period of Executive's employment by the Company.
This cooperation by Executive shall include, but not be limited to:

                  (i) making himself reasonably available for interviews and
         discussions with the Company's counsel as well as for depositions and
         trial testimony;

                  (ii) if depositions or trial testimony are to occur, making
         himself reasonably available and cooperating in the preparation
         therefor as and to the extent that the Company or the Company's counsel
         reasonably requests;

                  (iii) refraining from impeding in any way the Company's
         prosecution or defense of such litigation or administrative proceeding;
         and

                  (iv) cooperating fully in the development and presentation of
         the Company's prosecution or defense of such litigation or
         administrative proceeding.

                  B. Executive shall be reimbursed by the Company for reasonable
travel, lodging, telephone and similar expenses incurred in connection with such
cooperation, which the

                                       6
<PAGE>

Company shall reasonably endeavor to schedule at times not conflicting with the
reasonable requirements of any employer of Executive, or with the requirements
of any third party with whom Executive has a business relationship permitted
hereunder that provides remuneration to Executive. Executive shall not
unreasonably withhold his availability for such cooperation.

         8. SUCCESSORS AND BINDING AGREEMENT.

                  A. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of the Company and any successor of or to the Company, including,
without limitation, any persons acquiring, directly or indirectly, all or
substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company whether by
purchase, merger, consolidation, reorganization, or otherwise (and such
successor shall thereafter be deemed included in the definition of "the Company"
for purposes of this Agreement), but shall not otherwise be assignable or
delegable by the Company.

                  B. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be
enforceable by Executive's personal or legal representatives, executors,
administrators, successors, heirs, distributees, and/or legatees.

                  C. This Agreement is personal in nature and none of the
parties hereto shall, without the consent of the other parties, assign, transfer
or delegate this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder except as
expressly provided in Subparagraphs (a) and (b) of this Paragraph 8.

                  D. This Agreement is intended to be for the exclusive benefit
of the parties hereto, and except as provided in Subparagraphs (a) and (b) of
this Paragraph 8, no third party shall have any rights hereunder.

         9. NON-DISCLOSURE; STATEMENTS TO THIRD PARTIES.

                  A. Except as otherwise provided in Paragraph 5, all provisions
of this Agreement and the circumstances giving rise hereto are and shall remain
confidential and shall not be disclosed to any person not a party hereto (other
than (i) Executive's spouse, if any and (ii) each party's attorney, financial
advisor and/or tax advisor to the extent necessary for such advisor to render
appropriate legal, financial and tax advice), except as necessary to carry out
the provisions of this Agreement, and except as may be required by law.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be disclosed and described as
well as filed with or provided to the Securities and Exchange Commission or any
other governmental instrumentality or agency, including the Internal Revenue
Service, if the Company deems such filing or provision to be necessary.

                  B. Because the purpose of this Agreement is to settle amicably
any and all potential disputes or claims among the parties, neither Executive
nor the Company shall, directly or indirectly, make or cause to be made any
statements to any third parties criticizing or disparaging the other or
commenting on the character or business reputation of the other. Executive
further hereby agrees not: (i) to comment to others concerning the status, plans
or prospects of the business of the Company, or (ii) to engage in any act or
omission that would be detrimental, financially or otherwise, to the Company, or
that would subject the Company to public disrespect, scandal, or ridicule. For
purposes of this Subparagraph 9.b., the "Company"

                                       7
<PAGE>

shall mean the Company and its directors, officers, predecessors, parents,
subsidiaries, divisions, and related or affiliated companies, officers,
directors, stockholders, members, employees, heirs, successors, assigns,
representatives, agents, accountants and counsel.

         10. NOTICES. For all purposes of this Agreement, all communications
provided for herein shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly
given when delivered, addressed to the Company (to the attention of Karen A.

Executive at his principal residence, 7544 South Mannheim Court, Hudson, Ohio
44236, or to such other address as any party may have furnished to the other in
writing and in accordance herewith. Notices of change of address shall be
effective only upon receipt.

         11. MISCELLANEOUS. No provision of this Agreement may be modified,
waived or discharged unless such modification, waiver or discharge is agreed to
in writing signed by Executive and the Company. No waiver by either party hereto
at any time of any breach by the other party hereto or compliance with any
condition or provision of this Agreement to be performed by such other party
shall be deemed a waiver of similar or dissimilar provisions or conditions at
the same or at any prior or subsequent time. No agreements or representations,
oral or otherwise, expressed or implied with respect to the subject matter
hereof have been made by any of the parties that are not set forth expressly in
this Agreement and every one of them (if, in fact, there have been any) is
hereby terminated without liability or any other legal effect whatsoever.

         12. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement embodies the complete agreement
and understanding between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof
and effective as of its date supersedes and preempts any prior understandings,
agreements or representations by or between the parties, written or oral
(including without limitation, the Executive Severance Pay Plan, any employment
agreement between Executive and the Company, whether written or oral) and the
Officer Cash and Stock Bonus Plan), which may have related to the subject matter
hereof in any way.

         13. GOVERNING LAW. Any dispute, controversy, or claim of whatever
nature arising out of or relating to this Agreement or breach thereof shall be
governed by and under the laws of the State of Ohio. The parties agree that any
and all disputes, controversies, or claims of whatever nature arising out of or
relating to this agreement or breach thereof shall be resolved by a court of
general jurisdiction in the State of Ohio, and the parties hereby consent to the
exclusive jurisdiction of such court in any action or proceeding arising under
or brought to challenge, enforce, or interpret any of the terms of this
Agreement.

         14. VALIDITY. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of
this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other
provision of this Agreement, which shall nevertheless remain in full force and
effect.

         15. COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in one or more
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which
together shall constitute one and the same Agreement.

         16. CAPTIONS AND PARAGRAPH HEADINGS. Captions and Paragraph headings
