Exhibit 10.13.1

Confidentiality and Business Protection Agreement

This Confidentiality and Business Protection Agreement (“Agreement”) is hereby entered into by and between Victor L. Crawford (“Executive”) and Cardinal Health, Inc., an Ohio Corporation (the “Company”), effective as of November 1, 2018.  

It is hereby agreed as follows: 

		
	1.
	Consideration and Acknowledgements.  The parties acknowledge that the provisions and covenants contained in this Agreement are ancillary and material to, and in consideration of, the offer letter dated October 30, 2018 and that the limitations contained herein are reasonable in geographic and temporal scope and do not impose a greater restriction or restraint than is necessary to protect the goodwill and other legitimate business interests of the Company.  The parties also acknowledge and agree that the provisions of this Agreement do not adversely affect Executive's ability to earn a living in any capacity that does not violate the covenants contained herein.  The parties further acknowledge and agree that the provisions of Section 9(a) below are accurate and necessary because (i) this Agreement is entered into in the State of Ohio, (ii) Ohio has a substantial relationship to the parties and to this transaction, (iii) Ohio is the headquarters state of the Company, which has operations worldwide and has a compelling interest in having its employees treated uniformly, (iv) the use of Ohio law provides certainty to the parties in any covenant litigation in the United States, and (v) enforcement of the provisions of this Agreement would not violate any fundamental public policy of Ohio or any other jurisdiction. 

		
	2.
	Confidential Information.  Executive shall hold in a fiduciary capacity for the benefit of the Company and all of its subsidiaries, partnerships, joint ventures, limited liability companies and other affiliates (collectively, the "Cardinal Group"), all secret or confidential information, knowledge or data relating to the Cardinal Group and its businesses (including, without limitation, any proprietary and not publicly available information concerning any processes, methods, trade secrets, research, secret data, costs, names of users or purchasers of their respective products or services, business methods, operating procedures or programs or methods of promotion and sale) that Executive has obtained or obtains during Executive's employment by the Cardinal Group and that is not public knowledge (other than as a result of Executive's violation of this Agreement) ("Confidential Information").  For the purposes of this Agreement, information shall not be deemed to be publicly available merely because it is embraced by general disclosures or because individual features or combinations thereof are publicly available.  Executive shall not communicate, divulge or disseminate Confidential Information at any time during or after Executive's employment with the Cardinal Group, except with prior written consent of the applicable Cardinal Group company, or as otherwise required by law or legal process.  All records, files, memoranda, reports, customer lists, drawings, plans, documents and the like that Executive uses, prepares or comes into contact with during the course of Executive's employment shall remain the sole property of the Company or the Cardinal Group company, as applicable, and shall be turned over to the applicable Cardinal Group company upon termination of Executive's employment.

Under the federal Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016, Executive shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that: (a) is made (i) in confidence to a federal, state, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney; and (ii) solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or (b) is made to Executive’s attorney in relation to a lawsuit for retaliation against Executive for reporting a suspected violation of law; or (c) is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal. 
Nothing in this Agreement shall (a) prevent Executive from testifying truthfully as required by law (b) prohibit or prevent Executive from filing a charge with or participating, testifying, or assisting in any investigation, hearing, whistleblower proceeding or other proceeding before any federal, state, or local government agency (e.g. EEOC, NLRB, SEC, etc.), or (c) prevent Executive from disclosing Company information in confidence to a federal, state, or local government official for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law.
		
	3.
	Non-Recruitment of Cardinal Group Employees, etc.  Executive shall not, at any time during the Restricted Period (as defined below), without the prior written consent of the Company, engage in the following conduct (a "Solicitation"): (i) directly or indirectly, including via social media or professional networking services, solicit, recruit or employ (whether as an employee, officer, director, agent, consultant or independent contractor) any person who is or was at any time during the previous twelve months an employee, representative, officer or director of the Cardinal Group; or (ii) take any action to encourage or induce any employee, representative, officer or director of the Cardinal Group to cease his or her relationship with the Cardinal Group for any reason.  A "Solicitation" does not include any recruitment of employees within or for the Cardinal Group.  The "Restricted Period" means the period from the date of this Agreement until twenty-four months after Executive’s date of termination of employment or date of retirement, as applicable.  The Restricted Period shall be extended and its expiration tolled by the time period in which Executive is in breach of any covenant in this Agreement to ensure that Executive does not benefit from any breach and that the Company receives the full benefit of two years protection from unfair competition on which it has relied in entering into this Agreement.

		
	4.
	No Competition -- Solicitation of Business.  During the Restricted Period, Executive shall not (either directly or indirectly or as an officer, agent, employee, partner, consultant or director of any other company, partnership or entity) solicit, service or accept on behalf of any competitor of the Cardinal Group the business of (i) any customer of the Cardinal Group during the time of Executive's employment or at date of termination of employment, or (ii) any potential customer of the Cardinal Group which Executive knew to be an identified, prospective purchaser of products or services of the Cardinal Group.

		
	5.
	No Competition -- Employment by Competitor.  During the Restricted Period, Executive shall not invest in (other than in a publicly traded company with a maximum investment of no more than 1% of outstanding shares), counsel, advise or be otherwise engaged or employed by any entity or enterprise that is in competition with the business conducted by any member of the Cardinal Group (other than a business that is not a significant business to the Cardinal Group as a whole or to the entity or enterprise as a whole).

		
	6.
	No Disparagement.

(a)Executive and the Company shall at all times refrain from taking actions or making statements, written or oral, that (i) denigrate, disparage or defame the goodwill or reputation of Executive or the Cardinal Group, as the case may be, or any of its trustees, officers, security holders, partners, agents or former or current employees and directors, or (ii) are intended to, or may be reasonably expected to, adversely affect the morale of the employees of the Cardinal Group.  Executive further agrees not to make any negative statements to third parties relating to Executive's employment or any aspect of the businesses of the Cardinal Group and not to make any statements to third parties about the circumstances of the termination of Executive's employment or about the Cardinal Group or its trustees, directors, officers, security holders, partners, agents or former or current employees and directors, except as may be required by a court or governmental body. 

(b)Executive further agrees that, following termination of employment for any reason, Executive shall assist and cooperate with the Company with regard to any matter or project in which Executive was involved during Executive's employment with the Company, including but not limited to any litigation that may be pending or may arise after such termination of employment.  Further, Executive agrees to notify the Company at the earliest opportunity of any contact that is made by any third parties concerning any such matter or project.  The Company shall not unreasonably request such cooperation of Executive and shall cooperate with Executive in scheduling any assistance by Executive, taking into account Executive’s business and personal affairs, and shall compensate Executive for any lost wages or expenses associated with such cooperation and assistance. 

		
	7.
	Inventions.  All plans, discoveries and improvements, whether patentable or unpatentable, made or devised by Executive, whether alone or jointly with others, from the date of Executive's initial employment by the Company and continuing until the end of any period during which Executive is employed by the Cardinal Group, relating or pertaining in any way to Executive's employment with or the business of the Cardinal Group, shall be promptly disclosed in writing to the Company’s Chief Legal and Compliance Officer and are hereby transferred to and shall redound to the benefit of the Company, and shall become and remain its sole and exclusive property.  Executive agrees to execute any assignment to the Company or its nominee, of Executive's entire right, title and interest in and to any such discoveries and improvements and to execute any other instruments and documents requisite or desirable in applying for and obtaining patents, trademarks or copyrights, at the expense of the Company, with respect thereto in the United States and in all foreign countries, that may be required by the Company.  Executive further agrees at all times to cooperate to the extent and in the manner required by the Company in the prosecution or defense of any patent or copyright claims or any litigation or other proceeding involving any trade secrets, processes, discoveries or improvements covered by this Agreement, but all necessary expenses thereof shall be paid by the Company.

		
	8.
	Acknowledgement and Enforcement.  Executive acknowledges and agrees that: (a) the purpose of the foregoing covenants, including without limitation the noncompetition covenants of Sections 4 and 5, is to protect the goodwill, trade secrets and other Confidential Information of the Company; (b) because of the nature of the business in which the Cardinal Group is engaged and because of the nature of the Confidential Information to which Executive has access, the Company would suffer irreparable harm and it would be impractical and excessively difficult to determine the actual damages of the Cardinal Group in the event Executive breached any of the covenants of this Agreement; and (c) remedies at law (such as monetary damages) for any breach of Executive's obligations under this Agreement would be inadequate.  Executive therefore agrees and consents that if Executive commits any breach of a covenant under this Agreement or threatens to commit any such breach, the Company shall have the right (in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other right or remedy that may be available to it) to temporary and permanent injunctive relief from a court of competent jurisdiction, without posting any bond or other security and without the necessity of proof of actual damage.  If any of the covenants contained in this Agreement are finally held by a court to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable (whether in whole or in part), such covenant shall be deemed modified to the extent, but only to the extent, of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability and the remaining covenants shall not be affected thereby; provided, however, that if any of such covenants is finally held by a court to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable because it exceeds the maximum scope or duration determined to be acceptable to permit such provision to be enforceable, such covenant will be deemed to be modified to the minimum extent necessary to modify such scope or duration in order to make such provision enforceable hereunder.

		
	9.
	Miscellaneous.

(a)This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Ohio, without reference to principles of conflict of laws.  If, under any such law, any portion of this Agreement is at any time deemed to be in conflict with any applicable statute, rule, regulation or ordinance, such portion shall be deemed to be modified or altered to conform thereto.  The parties hereto irrevocably agree to submit to the jurisdiction and venue of the courts of the State of Ohio in any action or proceeding brought with respect to or in connection with this Agreement.  The captions of this Agreement are not part of the provisions hereof and shall have no force or effect.  This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof.  This Agreement may not be amended or modified otherwise than by a written agreement executed by the parties hereto or their respective successors and legal representatives.  This Agreement is the product of negotiation and shall not be construed strictly for or against any party.

(b)All notices and other communications under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be given by hand delivery to the other party or by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed as follows:
If to Executive:    At the most recent address on file for Executive at the Company

If to the Company:         Cardinal Health, Inc.

or to such other address as either party shall have furnished to the other in writing in accordance herewith.  Notice and communications shall be effective when actually received by the addressee.

(c)The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement.  If any provision of this Agreement shall be held invalid or unenforceable in part, the remaining portion of such provision, together with all other provisions of this Agreement, shall remain valid and enforceable and continue in full force and effect to the fullest extent consistent with the law.

(d)Executive's or the Company's failure to insist upon strict compliance with any provision of this Agreement or the failure to assert any right Executive or the Company may have hereunder, shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such provision or right or any other provision or right of this Agreement.

(e)This Agreement supersedes and replaces in its entirety the Confidentiality and Business Protection Agreement entered into between Executive and the Company on September 30, 2018.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Executive has hereunto set Executive's hand and the Company has caused these presents to be executed in its name and on its behalf, all as of the day and year first above written.

Dear Victor,

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, Inc. ("Cardinal Health") and will be a superb addition to the executive management team. As we have discussed, the major provisions of your offer are set forth below.

Position: CEO, Pharmaceutical Segment, based in Dublin, Ohio, reporting to Mike Kaufmann, CEO, Cardinal Health.

Start Date: We look forward to you starting with us on November 12, 2018.

Base Salary: Your annual salary is $700,000; it is payable bi-weekly, every other Friday, one week behind the most current workweek you’ve completed (in arrears). You will be annually eligible for adjustments to your base salary rate, subject to both merit funding guidelines and your performance.

Management Incentive Plan: You will be annually eligible to participate in the Management Incentive Plan ("MIP"). Your target incentive for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2019 will be 100% of your annual base salary, prorated to reflect the number of days you are employed in this position during the fiscal year. MIP funding is determined by the Human Resources and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (“HRCC”) based upon the achievement of both financial and non-financial objectives.

Long-Term Incentive Program: You will also be annually eligible to participate in the Cardinal Health Long-Term Incentive (“LTI”) program, with a target award value of $2,750,000. Currently, LTI grants are awarded in August of each year; the first LTI grant for which you will be eligible is scheduled to occur in August 2019 for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2020. The grant is expected to be awarded in a mix of 40% restricted share units ("RSUs") and 60% performance share units (“PSUs”). LTI program participation, award amounts, form of award, and award terms are reviewed on an annual basis and are subject to change at any time at the discretion of the HRCC. Standard terms and conditions apply.

One-time Payments: To address forfeited compensation, incent and assist you in transitioning to this new role, we will provide you with:

		
	•
	A gross sign-on bonus of $2,500,000, to be paid within 30 days from your start date. It is understood that if prior to completing one year of service, you are terminated for cause or if you voluntarily terminate employment with Cardinal Health, you would be responsible for reimbursing to Cardinal Health 100% of this one-time cash payment. If such a termination event occurs after one year of service, but before the completion of two years, you would be responsible for reimbursing to Cardinal Health 50% of the cash sign-on bonus. By signing this offer letter, you agree that Cardinal Health may withhold any amounts due from your final paycheck, as they relate to the above.

		
	•
	You will be awarded LTI with an expected value of $3,000,000 as of the grant date, split equally between RSUs and PSUs for the fiscal 2019 through fiscal 2021 performance cycle.  The grant will be made on November 15, 2018, provided you have started employment with Cardinal Health before that date.  The award will be valued in accordance with Cardinal Health’s standard valuation practices.  Standard terms and conditions apply.  RSUs and PSUs may be subject to deferred payment if you so elect before your start date.

Relocation: You are eligible for the Executive Homeowner Relocation Program and six months of temporary accommodations. The Cardinal Health relocation vendor, Graebel, will contact you once you have accepted this offer to discuss the details of your relocation. It is understood that if you are terminated for cause or you voluntarily terminate employment with Cardinal Health before completing one year of service, you would be responsible for reimbursing to Cardinal Health 100% of these costs. If such a termination event occurs after one year of service, but before the completion of two years, you would be responsible for reimbursing to Cardinal Health 50% of these costs. By signing this offer letter, you agree that Cardinal Health may withhold any amounts due from your final paycheck, as they relate to the above.

Well-Being Opportunities: Cardinal Health is pleased to offer a comprehensive, competitive program. On your first day of employment, you are eligible to participate in the:

		
	•
	Health, Life and Disability Plans - You will receive more information on these benefits during your new hire orientation session.

		
	•
	401(k) Savings Plan - You may contribute up to 50% of your pre-tax earnings to the Plan (subject to IRS maximum limits). Currently, if you contribute 5% or more you will receive the maximum company matching contribution of 4.5%. Cardinal Health also matches contributions from below 5% at various levels, and we can provide additional details upon request.  These matching dollars are immediately 100% vested.  In addition to the company match, Cardinal Health may make a discretionary company contribution to your 401(k) account.  This discretionary company contribution is 100% vested after three years of service.  Enrollment information will be sent to you by Wells Fargo, our financial benefits service provider.

		
	•
	Deferred Compensation Plan - This plan enables you to save over the IRS limits in the qualified 401(k) plan. Cardinal Health provides a match on deferrals from eligible compensation earned between $275,000 and $375,000, and may make a discretionary company contribution to your DCP account. All contributions vest as described in the 401(k) plan. Enrollment information will be sent to you via e-mail by our Benefits department. Note that you must initially enroll within 30 days of your start date and then annually thereafter.

		
	•
	Paid Time Off - Each calendar year you will be eligible to receive 208 hours (approximately 26 eight-hour days) of Paid Time Off (“PTO”). This allotment covers vacation, sick and personal days, all of which must be used during that calendar year. Based on your start date, you will be eligible to receive a pro-rated allotment of PTO for the current calendar year.

In addition to PTO, you will receive a maximum of fifty-six (56) hours of paid company holidays. Selected days may be determined by your business but typically include New Year's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and the day following, and Christmas Day.

Screening: Consistent with our policies for all Cardinal Health personnel and the special consideration of our industry, this offer is contingent upon both the taking of a company paid drug screening test, the results of which must be negative, as well as an acceptable background check. These items must be completed prior to your start date.

Terms: Employment with Cardinal Health is not for any definite period of time and is terminable, with or without notice, at the will of either you or Cardinal Health at any time, for any reason. There is no contract, expressed or implied, of employment. However, you agree to be bound by the terms of the attached Confidentiality and Business Protection Agreement. That agreement must be signed and delivered to Cardinal Health on or before your start date. 

Obligations to Prior Employers: You are expressly prohibited from bringing, using or disclosing any confidential, trade secret or proprietary information of your former employer(s). To the extent you are bound by post-employment restrictions from a prior employer, Cardinal Health expects you to comply with those restrictions. If, as an employee of Cardinal Health, you encounter a situation that you feel may violate post-employment restrictions from a prior employer, you must notify Cardinal Health immediately so that alternative arrangements can be made.

Ethics: As a company founded on a core set of values, we will ask you to review the enclosed Standards of Business Conduct and sign a certificate of compliance.

You acknowledge that you have provided for our legal review all currently effective employment contracts, non-competition, confidentiality and similar agreements between you and your current and former employers.

This offer letter agreement supersedes and replaces in its entirety the offer letter agreement entered into between you and Cardinal Health on September 30, 2018.

If you have any questions, please feel free to call me at ###.###.####

Sincerely,

/s/ Ola M. Snow
