 CARDINAL HEALTH, INC. 
 5.65% Note due 2012 
 This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of debentures, notes, bonds or other evidences of
indebtedness of the Issuer (hereinafter called the “Securities”) of the series hereinafter specified, all issued or to be issued under and pursuant to an indenture dated as of April 18, 1997 (the “Original
Indenture”), duly executed and delivered by the Issuer to The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A. (successor trustee to J.P. Morgan Trust Company, National Association, successor trustee to Bank One, N.A., which was formerly known as Bank
One, Columbus, N.A.), as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee”), as supplemented by the Second Supplemental Indenture dated
June 8, 2007 (the “Second Supplemental Indenture,” together with the Original Indenture, the “Indenture”), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a description
of the rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Trustee, the Issuer and the Holders of the Securities. The Securities may be issued in one or more series, which different series may be issued in various
aggregate principal amounts, may mature at different times, may bear interest (if any) at different rates, may be subject to different redemption provisions (if any), may be subject to different sinking, purchase or analogous funds (if any) and may
otherwise vary as in the Indenture provided. This Note is one of a series designated as the 5.65% Notes due 2012 of the Issuer, limited in initial aggregate principal amount to $300,000,000 (collectively, the “Notes”). The Issuer
may, at any time, without notice to or the consent of the holders of the Securities, issue further notes having the same ranking and the same interest rate, maturity and other terms as the Notes (other than the date of issuance and, under certain
circumstances, the first interest payment date following the issue date of such further notes). Any such further notes, together with this Note, will form a single series of Securities under the Indenture. 
 1. Principal and Interest 
 The Notes will mature on
June 15, 2012. 
 In case an Event of Default with respect to the Notes, as defined in the Indenture, shall have occurred and be
continuing, the principal hereof may be declared, and upon such declaration shall become, due and payable, in the manner, with the effect and subject to the conditions provided in the Indenture. 
 Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 30-day month and a 360-day year. 
 2. Amendment; Supplement; Waiver 
 The Indenture contains provisions permitting the Issuer and the
Trustee, with the consent of the Holders of not less than 66 2/3% in the aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of all series to be affected (voting as one class) evidenced as provided in the Indenture, to execute
supplemental indentures for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Indenture or of any 

  

 5 

 
supplemental indenture or modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each such series; provided, however, that no such
supplemental indenture shall (i) extend the final maturity of any Security, or reduce the principal amount thereof or any premium thereon, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of any interest thereon, or reduce or impair or affect
the rights of any Holder to institute suit for the payment thereof or any right of repayment at the option of the Holder, without the consent of the Holder of each Security so affected, or (ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of Securities, the
Holders of which are required to consent to any such supplemental indenture, without the consent of the Holder of each Security affected. It is also provided in the Indenture that, with respect to certain defaults or Events of Default regarding the
Securities of any series, prior to any declaration accelerating the maturity of such Securities, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount Outstanding of the Securities of such series (or, in the case of certain defaults or Events of
Default, all or certain series of the Securities) may on behalf of the Holders of all the Securities of such series (or all or certain series of the Securities, as the case may be) waive any such past default or Event of Default and its
consequences. The preceding sentence shall not, however, apply to a default in the payment of the principal of or premium, if any, or interest on any of the Securities. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note (unless revoked as
provided in the Indenture) shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders and owners of this Note and any Notes which may be issued in exchange or substitution herefor, irrespective of whether or not any notation
thereof is made upon this Note or such other Notes. 
 3. Optional Redemption 
 The Notes are redeemable, in whole or, from time to time, in part, at the option of the Issuer at any time, at a redemption price equal to the greater
of: 
 (1) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, or 
 (2) as determined by a Quotation Agent, the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon (exclusive of
interest accrued to the date of redemption) discounted to the date of redemption on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Adjusted Treasury Rate plus 15 basis points, 
 plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed to the date of redemption. Notwithstanding the foregoing, interest
that is due on the date fixed for redemption shall be payable to the Holders of the Notes registered as such on the relevant record date. 
 “Adjusted Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date, the rate per annum equal to the semiannual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue
(expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such redemption date. 
 “Comparable
Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security selected by a Quotation Agent as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term of 

  

 6 

 
the Notes to be redeemed that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of
corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining terms of such Notes. 
 “Comparable Treasury Price” means, with
respect to any redemption date, (1) the average of three Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such redemption date, after excluding the highest and lowest such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (2) if the Trustee obtains fewer
than three such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such quotations. 
 “Quotation Agent” means the Reference
Treasury Dealer appointed by the Issuer. 
 “Reference Treasury Dealer” means (1) each of Barclays Capital Inc., Deutsche Bank
Securities Inc. and Goldman, Sachs & Co. and their respective successors; provided, however, that if any of the foregoing shall cease to be a primary U.S. Government securities dealer in New York City (a “Primary Treasury
Dealer”), the Issuer shall substitute therefor another Primary Treasury Dealer, and (2) any other Primary Treasury Dealer selected by the Issuer. 
 “Reference Treasury Dealer Quotation” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any redemption date, the average, as determined by the Issuer, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable
Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the Trustee by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m., New York City time on the third Business Day preceding such redemption date. 

Notice to holders of Notes to be redeemed will be delivered by first-class mail at least 30 and not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for
redemption. Unless the Issuer defaults in payment of the redemption price, on and after the redemption date interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called for redemption. If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed, the
Trustee shall select, in such manner as it shall deem appropriate and fair, the Notes to be redeemed in whole or in part. 
 4. Repurchase at the Option
of Holders Upon a Change of Control 
 Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Repurchase Event, unless all Notes have been called for
redemption pursuant to paragraph 3 of this Note, each Holder of the Notes shall have the right to require the Issuer to repurchase all or any part (equal to $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of such Notes at a repurchase
price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of such Notes repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to the date of repurchase. “Change of Control Repurchase Event” shall mean the occurrence of both a
Change of Control and a Below Investment Grade Rating Event, as such terms are defined in the Indenture. The offer to repurchase upon a Change of Control Repurchase Event shall be made subject to certain conditions in accordance with the terms
specified in the Indenture.

 5. Persons Deemed Owners 
 The Issuer, the Trustee and any authorized agent of the Issuer or the Trustee may deem and treat the registered Holder hereof as the absolute owner of this Note (whether or not this Note shall be overdue and
notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing hereon) for the purpose of receiving payment of, or on account of, the principal hereof and premium, if any, and subject to the provisions on the face hereof, interest hereon, and for all
other purposes, and neither the Issuer nor the Trustee nor any authorized agent of the Issuer or the Trustee, shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. 
 6. Additional Rights of Holders of Notes 
 In addition to the rights provided to Holders under the Indenture, Holders of the
Notes shall have all the rights set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement dated as of June 8, 2007 between the Issuer and the initial purchasers named therein. 
 7. Transfers and Exchanges 
 The Security is a Global Security within the meaning of the Indenture
hereinafter referred to and is registered in the name of a Depositary or a nominee of a Depositary. This Security is exchangeable for Securities registered in the name of a person other than the Depositary or its nominee only in the limited
circumstances described in the Indenture, and may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary or by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or another nominee of the Depositary or by the Depositary or
any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor Depositary. 
 Transfers and exchanges of the Notes are only
available under limited circumstances and are required to be registered in accordance with the Indenture. The Holder may be required, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and to pay certain transfer taxes or
similar governmental charges payable in connection therewith as permitted by the Indenture.

 No recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement of the Issuer in the Indenture or any indenture supplemental thereto or in any Note, or
because of the creation of any indebtedness represented thereby, shall be had against any incorporator, as such, or against any past, present or future stockholder, officer or director, as such, of the Issuer or of any successor, either directly or
through the Issuer or any successor, under any rule of law, statute or constitutional provision or by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding or otherwise, all such liability being expressly waived and released by

highly compensated employees of the Company and of its affiliated entities which participate in this Plan with the consent of the Company.

 A. The Company desires to continue to maintain the Plan in order to provide its Directors and
certain of its highly compensated and management employees with the opportunity to defer a portion of the base salary, bonuses and other cash compensation otherwise payable to them. 
 B. The Company intends for the Plan to continue to be an unfunded, nonqualified deferred compensation arrangement as provided under the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”) and to satisfy the requirements of a “top hat” plan thereunder and under Labor Reg. Sec. 2520.104-23. 
 C. This amended and restated Plan is intended to comply with the requirements of The American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 (“AJCA”),
Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Code”), and final regulations and other rulings issued by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) thereunder.

 (w) Retirement. An Eligible Employee’s Separation from Service with the Employer following attainment of age 65 or retirement
from the Board of any Director. 
 (x) Separation from Service. An Eligible Employee separates from service with the Employer if the
Eligible Employee dies, retires or otherwise has a termination of employment with the Employer. Whether a termination of employment has occurred is determined based on whether the facts and circumstances indicate that the Employer and the Eligible
Employee reasonably anticipated that no further services would be performed after a certain date or that the level of bona fide services the Eligible Employee would perform after such date (as an employee or independent contractor) would permanently
decrease to no more than 20 percent of the average level of bona fide services performed over the immediately preceding 36-month period (or the full period in which the Eligible Employee provided services to the Employer if the Eligible Employee has
been providing services for less than 36 months). An Eligible Employee will not be deemed to have experienced a Separation from Service if such Eligible Employee is on military leave, sick leave, or other bona fide leave of absence, to the extent
such leave does not exceed a period of six months or, if longer, such longer period of time during which a right to re-employment is protected by either statute or contract. If the period of leave exceeds six months and the individual does not
retain a right to re-employment under an applicable statute or by contract, the employment relationship is deemed to terminate on the first date immediately following such six-month period. In the case of a Director, a separation from service occurs
upon the termination of the Director’s service on the Board, provided, however, that a Director who is also providing services to the Employer as an independent contractor, does not have a Separation from Service until he has separated from
service both as a Director and as an independent contractor. If an Eligible Employee provides services both as an employee and as a member of the Board, the services provided as a Director are generally 

  

 5 

 
not taken into account in determining whether the Eligible Employee has a Separation from Service as an employee for purposes of the Plan, in accordance with
final regulations under Code Section 409A. 
 (y) Shares. The common shares, without par value, of the Company. 
 (z) Total Disability. Occurs when a Participant is either unable to engage in any substantial gainful activity or is receiving income replacement
benefits under an accident and health plan covering employees for a period of not less than three months, by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment that can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a
continuous period of not less than 12 months. The Company shall determine the existence of a Total Disability in its sole discretion and may require the Participant to submit to periodic medical examinations at the Participant’s expense to
confirm the existence and continuation of a Total Disability. 
 1.2 General Provisions. The masculine wherever used herein shall
include the feminine; singular and plural forms are interchangeable. Certain terms of more limited application have been defined in the provisions to which they are principally applicable. The division of the Plan into Articles and Sections with
captions is for convenience only and is not to be taken as limiting or extending the meaning of any of its provisions. 
 ARTICLE II

 ELIGIBILITY AND PARTICIPATION 
 2.1 General Eligibility Conditions. To become eligible to participate in the Plan, an individual must be (i) a Reporting Person, or (ii) (A) among a select group of management or highly compensated employees within the
meaning of Sections 201(2), 301(a)(3), and 401(a)(1) of ERISA and (B) designated as an Eligible Employee by the Company (or another participating Employer) to receive any applicable Employer contributions and to make Compensation deferral
contributions under the Plan. In order to receive a benefit under the Plan, however, a Participant must also meet the requirements of Sections 2.2 and 2.3. An Eligible Employee or a Director shall be considered eligible to participate in the Plan
effective as of the date he receives the enrollment materials from the Company or its agent (the “Eligibility Effective Date”). The Eligibility Effective Date will be presumed to occur three business days after the enrollment materials are
deposited in the U.S. mail, properly addressed to the Eligible Employee or Director, or the date the enrollment materials are delivered to the Eligible Employee or Director. 
 2.2 Specific Conditions for Active Participation. To participate actively in the Plan (i.e., to make deferrals hereunder), a Participant
must execute or acknowledge a Compensation Deferral Agreement, or otherwise agree to defer some of his Compensation in accordance with such other procedures, including electronic enrollment, as are established by the Administrative Committee from
time to time. A Participant’s Compensation Deferral Agreement shall be maintained by or on behalf of the Administrative Committee and must be executed, acknowledged, filed or submitted electronically within 30 days of the Eligibility Effective
Date and, for all subsequent deferral elections after initial participation, in advance of the beginning of the calendar year during which such compensation is expected to be earned, or at such other time 

  

 6 

 
as may be required or permitted by regulations issued under Code Section 409A. In all cases, a Participant’s election to defer Compensation shall
be made prior to the time any of the Compensation covered by such election is to be earned by such Participant. Elections to participate and defer Compensation shall be irrevocable with respect to the Compensation to which they apply and may be
amended, revoked or suspended by the Participant only effective as of the January 1st following the amendment, revocation or suspension in
accordance with procedures established by the Administrative Committee, unless transition rules and regulations under Code Section 409A permit amendment, revocation or suspension as of some other time. With respect to Matching, Employer
Contribution Credits and Social Security Supplement Credits, the Eligible Employee must designate a time and form of payment within 30 days of the Eligibility Effective Date. 
 2.3 Eligibility List; Suspension of Active Participation. The Administrative Committee shall maintain a written list of those employees who then
qualify as Eligible Employees under the Plan, as determined by the eligibility criteria established by the Company. Any Participant not listed as an Eligible Employee for a given Plan Year shall cease to have any right to defer Compensation for such
Plan Year or to receive Matching, Employer Contribution Credits and Social Security Supplement Credits for such Plan Year. However, any amounts credited to the Account of a Participant whose participation is suspended shall otherwise continue to be
maintained under the Plan in accordance with its terms. All Reporting Persons shall be eligible to participate in the Plan at all times during which they are a Reporting Person. 
 2.4 Termination of Participation. Once an Eligible Employee becomes a Participant, such individual shall continue to be a Participant until such
individual (i) ceases to be described as a Director or as an Eligible Employee, and (ii) ceases to have any vested interest in the Plan (as a result of distributions made to such Participant or his Beneficiary, if applicable, or
otherwise). 
 2.5 Participation by Other Employers. Each corporation or other entity with U.S. employees that is a member of the same
controlled group as the Company (within the meaning of Code Sections 414(b) and (c)) shall be a participating employer under the Plan unless determined otherwise by the Company. Participating affiliates that cease to be a member of the same
controlled group as Cardinal Health, Inc. within the meaning of Code Sections 414(b) and (c) are no longer eligible to participate in the Plan effective as of the date that they cease to qualify as a controlled group member. Participants of
such an employer shall no longer be eligible to participate effective as of the date that their employer becomes ineligible. 
 ARTICLE III

 DEFERRED COMPENSATION AND MATCHING CREDITS 
 3.1 Deferred Compensation Credits. Pursuant to the provisions of Article II and this Article III, a Participant and the Employer may, by mutual agreement, provide for deferred and postponed payment of a
percentage of the Participant’s Compensation which otherwise would be paid during the applicable Plan Year(s) for services to be rendered in such year(s). All elections to defer Compensation must be made within 30 days after the
Participant’s Eligibility Effective Date and, for subsequent elections after initial eligibility, prior to the calendar year during which 

  

 7 

 
the Compensation is expected to be earned or at such other time as may be specified under regulations issued under the Code. In the case of the deferral of
any Performance-Based Compensation, such election must also be made no later than six months before the end of the performance period, provided that in no event may an election to defer Performance-Based Compensation be made after such Compensation
has become readily ascertainable within the meaning of Code Section 409A. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of the deferral of Performance-Based Compensation under the Long Term Incentive Cash Program, or any other existing or future
Performance-Based Compensation plan or program with a performance period exceeding one year in length, the deferral election must be made no later than halfway through such performance period. 
 A Participant who is an Eligible Employee may defer between one percent and 50 percent of Compensation that is not Performance-Based Compensation and may
make one or more separate elections for the deferral of from one percent to 100 percent of Performance-Based Compensation from each plan or arrangement offering the opportunity to earn such Compensation. A Participant who is a Director may defer
between 20 percent and 100 percent of Compensation. The Company may, in its discretion, establish and change from time to time the minimum and maximum amount that may be so deferred for Participants who are not Reporting Persons. Elections shall be
made in accordance with procedures established by the Administrative Committee. In addition, special limitations may be established by the Administrative Committee to apply to the deferral of any special bonus or other non-periodic Compensation that
a Participant who is not a Reporting Person is expected to receive. The Employer will credit the deferred compensation amount agreed to for each Plan Year to the Participant’s Account from time to time as soon as administratively practicable
after the deferred amounts otherwise would have been earned and paid to the Participant. All contributions under this provision to the Accounts of Participants in the Plan, as adjusted for earnings or losses (described below), are referred to as
“Deferred Compensation Credits.” 
 In addition to the Deferred Compensation Credits described above, Reporting Persons who have
elected to defer receipt of Shares to be issued under RSUs awarded on or after November 1, 2006, shall automatically have 100 percent of the cash dividend-equivalents that are vested and payable under such RSUs deferred under this Plan. Such
amounts shall be referred to as “Deferred Cash Equivalent Credits.” Deferred Cash Equivalent Credits are always 100 percent vested and nonforfeitable but are not eligible for Matching Credits. 
 3.2 Matching Credits. The Employer may, in its discretion, credit to a Participant’s Account each Plan Year during which the Participant is selected to
participate in the Plan an amount equal to a percentage of the Participant’s Deferred Compensation Credits as a matching contribution. The amount of any such contributions may vary from year to year or among Participants in the discretion of
the Employer. In general, such matching contributions may be made at the same rate as is applicable to the Participant under the Qualified Plan, but only with respect to the portion of a Participant’s deferrals from the first $100,000 of
Compensation in excess of the maximum amount of Compensation recognized under the Qualified Plan under Section 401(a)(17) of the Code for the fiscal year of the Qualified Plan that coincides with or ends within the Plan Year of this Plan. All
contributions under this provision to the Accounts of Participants in the Plan, as adjusted for earnings or losses (described below), are referred to as “Matching Credits.” 
  

 8 

 3.3 Suspension of Deferrals. Participant Deferred Compensation Credits hereunder will be
automatically suspended during any unpaid leave of absence or temporary layoff. Contributions suspended in accordance with the provisions of this paragraph shall be automatically resumed, without the necessity of any action by the Participant, upon
return to employment at the expiration of such suspension period. 
 3.4 Employer Contribution and Social Security Supplement Credits.
The Employer may, in its discretion, credit to the Participant’s Account each Plan Year an amount equal to a percentage of the Participant’s Compensation from the Employer in excess of the dollar limitation in effect for the Plan Year
under Section 401(a)(17) of the Code, but not more than an excess of $100,000 above such compensation limit. All contributions under this provision to the Accounts of Participants in the Plan, as adjusted for earnings or losses (described
below), are referred to as “Employer Contribution Credits.” In addition, the Employer may make an additional discretionary contribution for a Plan Year to the Participant’s Account, as determined by the Employer in its discretion,
equal to a percentage of the Participant’s Compensation from the Employer in excess of the dollar limitation in effect for the year under Section 401(a)(17) of the Code, but not more than an excess of $100,000 above such compensation
limit, for the purpose of supplementing the benefits the Participant will receive at retirement under the Social Security program. All contributions under this provision to the Accounts of Participants in the Plan, as adjusted for earnings or losses
(described below), are referred to as “Social Security Supplement Credits.” Contributions made to Participant Accounts under this Section may be subject to additional requirements as established from time to time by the Policy Committee,
such as a requirement to be employed on the last day of the Plan Year for which such contribution is made. 
 3.5 Prior Plan Accounts.
The Employer will credit to the Participant’s Account the accrued benefit of the Participant under any other nonqualified deferred compensation plan or arrangement sponsored by the Company or one of its affiliates that is consolidated and
merged with and into this Plan. All amounts credited as contributions under this provision to the Accounts of Participants in the Plan, as adjusted for earnings or losses (described below), are referred to as “Prior Plan Credits.” A
schedule of the nonqualified deferred compensation plans merged with and into this Plan, and of the amounts credited to the Accounts of Participants from such prior plans, shall be maintained by the Administrative Committee. 
 3.6 Record of Account. Solely for the purpose of measuring the amount of the Employer’s obligations to each Participant or his beneficiaries
under the Plan, the Employer will maintain a separate bookkeeping record, an “Account,” for each Participant in the Plan. The Company, in its discretion, may either credit a hypothetical earnings rate to the Participant’s Account
balance for the Plan Year, or may actually invest an amount equal to the amount credited to the Participant’s Account from time to time in an account or accounts in its name with investment media or companies, which investment options may
include some or all of those used for investment purposes under the Qualified Plan, as determined by the Company in its discretion. The Company may also establish a deferred compensation trust that qualifies as a so-called “rabbi” trust
meeting applicable requirements of Code Section 409A. If such separate investments are made, the Participant may be permitted to direct the investment of the portion of the Employer’s accounts allocable to him under the Plan in the same
manner he is permitted to direct the investment of his account in the Qualified Plan, except that certain of the investment 

  

 9 

 
options may not be available options under this Plan. The Participant may change the allocation of his Account among the applicable investment alternatives
then available under the Plan in accordance with procedures established by the Administrative Committee from time to time. In no event, however, shall a Participant who is a Reporting Person be permitted to change any amounts invested in any other
investment alternative to a Cardinal Stock Account (as defined below). In addition, a Participant who is a Reporting Person shall not be permitted to change any investment in a Cardinal Stock Account to any other investment alternative. After a
Participant ceases to be a Reporting Person, such Participant may again change investments into or out of a Cardinal Stock Account in accordance with rules established by the Administrative Committee and without regard to the above restrictions. The
Company is not obligated to make any particular investment options available, however, if investments are in fact made, and may, from time to time in its sole discretion, change the investment alternatives. Nothing herein shall be construed to
confer on the Participant the right to continue to have any particular investment available. 
 The Company will credit the
Participant’s Account with hypothetical or actual earnings or losses at least quarterly based on the earnings rate declared by the Company or the performance results of the Employer’s account(s) invested pursuant to the Company’s or
the Participant’s directions, and shall determine the fair market value of the Participant’s Account based on the bookkeeping record or the fair market value of the portion of the Employer’s accounts representing the
Participant’s Account. The determination of the earnings, losses or fair market value of the Participant’s Account may be adjusted by the Company to reflect its payroll, income or other taxes or costs associated with the Plan, as
determined by the Company in its sole discretion. 
 3.7 Special Rules Applicable to Investments in Shares. Subject to the provisions
of this Article III, a Participant may also elect to have all or a portion of his Account, but not including any Deferred Cash Equivalent Credits, to be deemed invested in Shares (such dollar amounts shall be referred to as the “Share Election
Accumulations”). On the date when the amounts to be credited to the Participant’s Share Election Accumulations are otherwise allocated to his Account, the Company will credit to a separate sub-account (the Participant’s “Cardinal
Stock Account”) a number of hypothetical Shares (and fractions thereof) having a Value equal to the Share Election Accumulations. For purposes of this Plan, the “Value” of a Share on a particular day shall mean the closing trading
price of a Share on the New York Stock Exchange on that day (or, if there is no trading of the Shares on that day, on the most recent previous date on which trading occurred). With respect to any Director, any election made pursuant to this Section
shall be irrevocable for all amounts credited to a Participant’s Account during the Plan Year for which the election is made. Any election made by a Director pursuant to this Section shall remain in effect for amounts credited to the
Participant’s Account in subsequent Plan Years unless the Participant delivers a written notice to the Secretary of the Company setting forth a different investment election or otherwise makes a different investment election in accordance with
procedures established by the Committee from time to time. Any such change in investment election shall be applied to future Plan Years until further notice is given by the Participant changing the election in accordance with the requirements of
this Section. Except for Directors, no other Reporting Person may elect to invest future contributions in his Account in Shares. Such other Reporting Person may again elect to invest future contributions in his Account in Shares subject to this
Section 3.7 after he ceases to be a Reporting Person. 
  

 10 

 If any Organic Change shall occur, then the Committee shall make such substitutions or adjustments as it
deems appropriate and equitable to each Participant’s Cardinal Stock Account (if any). In the case of Organic Changes, such adjustments may include, without limitation, (x) the cancellation of outstanding Shares in exchange for payments of
cash, property or a combination thereof having an aggregate value equal to the value of such Shares, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, (y) the substitution of other property (including, without limitation, cash or other
securities of the Company and securities of entities other than the Company) for the Shares, and (z) in connection with any Disaffiliation, arranging for the assumption or replacement of Shares with new shares based on other property or other
securities (including, without limitation, other securities of the Company and securities of entities other than the Company), by the affected subsidiary, affiliate or division or by the entity that controls such subsidiary, affiliate or division
following such Disaffiliation (as well as any corresponding adjustments to awards that remain based upon Company securities). An “Organic Change” includes (i) a stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, share combination, or
recapitalization or similar event affecting the capital structure of the Company (each, a “Share Change”), or (ii) a merger, consolidation, acquisition of property or shares, separation, spin-off, reorganization, stock rights
offering, liquidation, disaffiliation from the Company of a subsidiary or division (“Disaffiliation”), or similar event affecting the Company or any of its subsidiaries (each, an “Organic Change”). If the assets held in the
Participant’s Cardinal Stock Account immediately after such adjustment are not equity securities, then the Participant shall be permitted to re-direct the investment thereof into the other investment choices then available under this Plan.

 In the case of the Cardinal Stock Account (if any) of a Participant other than a Reporting Person (as of the Dividend Payment Date), the
earnings (or losses) credited to such account shall consist solely of dividend equivalent credits pursuant to this paragraph. Whenever a dividend or other distribution is made with respect to the Shares, then the Cardinal Stock Account of a
Participant who is not a Reporting Person (as of the Dividend Payment Date) shall be credited, on the payment date for such dividend or other distribution (the “Dividend Payment Date”), with a number of additional Shares having a Value, as
of the Dividend Payment Date, based upon the number of Shares deemed to be held in the Participant’s Cardinal Stock Account as of the record date for such dividend or other distribution (the “Dividend Record Date”), if such Shares
were outstanding. If such dividend or other distribution is in the form of cash, the number of Shares so credited shall be a number of Shares (and fractions thereof) having a Value, as of the Dividend Payment Date, equal to the amount of cash that
would have been distributed with respect to the Shares deemed to be held in the Participant’s Cardinal Stock Account as of the Dividend Record Date, if such Shares were outstanding. If such dividend or other distribution is in the form of
Shares, the number of Shares so credited shall equal the number of such Shares (and fractions thereof) that would have been distributed with respect to the Shares deemed to be held in the Participant’s Cardinal Stock Account as of the Dividend
Record Date, if such Shares were outstanding. If such dividend or other distribution is in the form of property other than cash or Shares, the number of Shares so credited shall be a number of Shares (and fractions thereof) having a Value, as of the
Dividend Payment Date, equal to the value of the property that would have been distributed with respect to the Shares deemed to be held in the Participant’s Cardinal Stock Account as of the Dividend Record Date, if such Shares were outstanding.
The value of such property shall be its fair market value as of the Dividend Payment Date, determined by the 

  

 11 

 
Board based upon market trading if available and otherwise based upon such factors as the Board deems appropriate. 
 With respect to a Participant who is a Reporting Person on the Dividend Payment Date, the cash value of the dividend or other distribution shall be
invested in an alternate investment option under the Plan, as determined by the Administrative Committee in its sole discretion. To the extent that the dividend or other distribution is made in a form other than cash, the Shares or other property
shall be liquidated to cash as soon as administratively practicable and thereafter invested as indicated herein. 
 ARTICLE IV 
 VESTING 
 4.1 Vesting. A
Participant always will be 100 percent vested in amounts credited to his Account as Deferred Compensation Credits, Deferred Cash Equivalent Credits, Matching Credits made on or after January 1, 2005, Prior Plan Credits and earnings allocable
thereto. The Participant or his Beneficiaries shall be entitled to benefits from Matching Credits made prior to January 1 2005, Employer Contribution Credits and Social Security Supplement Credits allocated to his Account by the Employer, and
earnings thereon, only upon satisfaction of the vesting requirements of this Article IV. The Participant shall become 100 percent vested in his Account upon his Retirement, death, Total Disability or upon a Change of Control of the Company. If the
Participant has a Separation from Service with the Employer for any reason other than Retirement, death, Total Disability, or pursuant to a Change of Control, all rights of the Participant, his Beneficiaries, executors, administrators, or any other
person to receive benefits under this Plan derived from amounts credited as Matching Credits made prior to January 1, 2005, Employer Contribution Credits and Social Security Supplement Credits shall vest as of the date that the Participant has
completed three Years of Service with the Employer. A “Year of Service” for this purpose means a period of 12 consecutive calendar months during which the Participant was employed by the Employer, defined to include all members of a
controlled group of corporations or other business entities within the meaning of Code Sections 414(b) and (c) that includes Cardinal Health, Inc. If a Participant has a Separation from Service before that date (other than due to a Change of
Control, Retirement, death or Total Disability), all Matching Credits made prior to January 1, 2005, Employer Contribution Credits and Social Security Supplement Credits shall be forfeited. If the Participant has a Separation from Service but
is subsequently re-employed by the Employer, no benefits forfeited hereunder shall be reinstated unless otherwise determined by the Company in its sole discretion. 
 4.2 Confidentiality and Non-Competition Agreement. In its discretion, the Employer may require any Eligible Employee selected to become a Participant in the Plan to execute a Confidentiality and Non-Competition
Agreement with the Employer in consideration of the benefits to be provided hereunder. 
  

 12 

 ARTICLE V 
 DISTRIBUTION OF BENEFITS 
 5.1 Distribution Timing. A Participant shall receive payment of the
amounts credited to his Account upon his Separation from Service due to Retirement, death, Total Disability or any other reason. The Participant will begin to receive the amount credited to his Account as of such date beginning on the first regular
payment processing date to occur at least six months after the date of the Participant’s Separation from Service, whether due to Retirement, death, Total Disability, or any other reason. The Administrative Committee may establish regular
payment processing dates and change the same from time to time in its discretion, provided there are at least two such dates each Plan Year and that payment for all Participants occurs no sooner than six months after the date of the
Participant’s Separation from Service. If payment is to be made in a lump sum, it shall occur on the first regular payment processing date as described above. If payment is to be made in annual installments, it shall commence on such first
regular payment processing date with subsequent annual installments to occur on the same regular payment processing date each year thereafter until the Participant’s Account is distributed in full. 
 At the time a Participant makes an initial deferral election according to the provisions of Article III, the Participant may elect to receive payment of
some or all of the vested amounts credited to his Account (i) in a single lump sum as of a regular payment processing date in a designated Plan Year on or after January 1, 2012 that is at least 12 months after the date the election is
made, or (ii) if earlier, as of the Participant’s Separation from Service due to Retirement, death, Total Disability or any other reason (a “Fixed Date Election”). A Fixed Date Election may apply to a flat dollar amount or to a
fixed percentage of the Participant’s Account, provided that if the value of the Participant’s Account on the payment date elected by the Participant is less than the flat dollar amount elected, the entire Account shall be paid under the
Fixed Date Election. A Participant may have only one Fixed Date Election, which election shall be irrevocable and which may be made only in accordance with procedures established from time to time by the Administrative Committee and in compliance
with all applicable requirements of Code Section 409A. If a Participant retires, dies, suffers a Total Disability, or otherwise incurs a Separation from Service before the fixed date elected by the Participant, his Account shall be distributed
in accordance with the election in effect for a distribution due to the reason for Separation from Service (both as to time of payment and form of payment) and the Fixed Date Election shall not apply. 
 5.2 Distribution upon Retirement or Other Separation from Service; Form of Payment. Upon Retirement or Separation from Service other than due to
death or Disability, the Participant shall be eligible to receive payment of the amounts credited to the Participant’s Account in the standard Distribution Option commencing as of the date specified in Section 5.1, above. Alternatively, a
Participant may elect another Distribution Option at the time of initial enrollment in the Plan or, for existing Participants as of the date this Plan is amended and restated, prior to the Effective Date. The Participant may change his election of a
Distribution Option pursuant to an election made during the annual deferral election period prior to the beginning of each Plan Year, provided said election is made at least 12 months prior to the date that payments would have otherwise begun under
such option and provided that payments will also be deferred to a new commencement date that is at least five years later than the original 

  

 13 

 
commencement date (i.e., five years after the date of the Participant’s Separation from Service). A Participant may not change a Distribution Option or
a distribution date in a manner that does not comply with Code Section 409A. If a Distribution Option election is made or changed and distribution is triggered before 12 months have elapsed, the distribution will be made in accordance with the
Distribution Option election in effect prior to the change or, if none, in accordance with the standard Distribution Option. If an annual installment payment method is the selected Distribution Option, the amount of the annual benefit shall equal
the amount necessary to fully distribute the Participant’s Account as an annual benefit payable over the installment period, consistent with the following methodology: the amount payable as the annual installment shall equal the value of the
Participant’s Account as of the most recent Account valuation date, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is one and the denominator of which is the number of annual installments remaining in the installment period elected by the
Participant. For example, assuming a 10 year installment payment period applies, the amount distributed at each of the distribution dates would represent the value of the Participant’s Account as of the most recent valuation date preceding the
actual distribution date times the following factors: year one – 10 percent (1/10); year two – 11.11 percent ( 1/9);
year three – 12.5 percent ( 1/8); year four – 14.29 percent ( 1/
7); year five – 16.66 percent ( 1/6); year six – 20
percent ( 1/5); year seven – 25 percent ( 1/4
); year eight – 33.33 percent ( 1/3); year nine – 50 percent ( 1/2) and year ten – 100 percent ( 1/1). The Participant must provide the Employer advance notice of his intention to retire and receive benefits hereunder in accordance with uniform procedures established by the Administrative Committee. Payments of
amounts credited to the Participant’s Account will be made in U.S. dollars, including amounts credited to the Participant’s Cardinal Stock Account, if any. 
 5.3 Distribution upon Death. In the event of the death of the Participant while receiving benefit payments under the Plan, the Beneficiary or
Beneficiaries designated by the Participant shall be paid the remaining payments due under the Plan in accordance with the method of distribution in effect to the Participant at the date of death. In the event of the death of the Participant prior
to the commencement of the distribution of benefits under the Plan, such benefits shall be paid to the Beneficiary or Beneficiaries designated by the Participant, beginning as soon as practicable after the Participant’s death. 
 5.4 Distribution in the Event of Total Disability. Upon the Participant’s Total Disability, the Participant shall be eligible to receive
payment of the amounts credited to his Account commencing as soon as practicable after the Administrative Committee is satisfied of the determination of the existence of a Total Disability with respect to such Participant. Total Disability shall be
considered to have ended and entitlement to a disability benefit shall cease if the Participant (i) is re-employed by the Employer or one of its affiliates, or (ii) engages in any substantial gainful activity, except for such employment as
is found by the Administrative Committee in its sole discretion to be for the primary purpose of rehabilitation or not incompatible with a finding of Total Disability. If entitlement to a disability benefit ceases in accordance with the provisions
of this paragraph, the Participant shall not be prevented from qualifying for a benefit under another provision of the Plan. 
 5.5 Form
of Payment upon Death or Total Disability. Benefits payable upon death or Total Disability shall be paid in the Standard Option unless another Distribution Option was timely elected by the Participant upon initial enrollment in the Plan or at
least 12 months prior to 

  

 14 

 
his death or Total Disability. Each Participant may elect a Distribution Option to apply to distributions made upon death or Total Disability that is
different from the Distribution Option applicable to other payment events. The Participant may change his election of a Distribution Option for death or Total Disability pursuant to an election made during the annual deferral election period prior
to the beginning of each Plan Year, provided said election is made at least 12 months prior to the date that payments would have otherwise begun under such option. If a Distribution Option election is made or changed after initial enrollment and the
Participant dies or suffers a Total Disability before 12 months have elapsed, the distribution will be made in accordance with the Distribution Option in effect prior to the change or, if none, in accordance with the Standard Distribution Option.

 5.6 Special Rules for Prior Plan Credits. Amounts credited to a Participant’s Account as Prior Plan Credits shall be payable
under the terms of this Plan notwithstanding any contrary provisions of the Prior Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any amounts that are currently being paid to Participants who are no longer employed by the Employer or no longer members of the
Board as of the Effective Date of this amended and restated Plan, shall continue to be distributed in accordance with the elections in effect as of that date unless to do so is not permitted under Code Section 409A and regulations issued
thereunder. 
 5.7 Lump Sum Distribution of Small Amounts or upon a Change of Control. If the value of a Participant’s entire
Account as of the date it becomes distributable is not greater than the applicable dollar amount under Section 402(g)(1)(B) of the Code, then the Participant’s entire Account balance shall be payable as a single lump sum notwithstanding
any other election that may be in effect. In addition, if a Participant has a Separation from Service within two years of a change of control of the Company (as defined in Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-3(i)(5)), then the
Participant’s Account shall be payable in a single lump sum on the first regular payment processing date next following the Participant’s Separation from Service following the change of control, and alternative elections in effect by the
Participant shall no longer apply. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Participant is a “specified employee” (determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations issued under Code Section 409A) for the year in which the Separation
from Service occurs, such lump sum payment shall be made on the first business day that is at least six months after the Separation from Service occurs. 
 5.8 Withdrawals for Unforeseeable Emergency. Upon the occurrence of an unforeseeable emergency, the Participant shall be eligible to receive payment of the amount necessary to satisfy such emergency plus
amounts necessary to pay taxes reasonably anticipated as a result of the distribution, after taking into account the extent to which such hardship is or may be relieved through reimbursement or compensation by insurance or otherwise or by
liquidation of the participant’s assets (to the extent such liquidation would not itself cause severe financial hardship), or by cessation of deferrals under the Plan. The amount determined to be properly distributable under this section and
applicable regulations under Code Section 409A shall be payable in a single lump sum only. For the purposes of this section, the term “unforeseeable emergency” means a severe financial hardship to the Participant resulting from an
illness or accident of the Participant, the Participant’s spouse, or a dependent of the Participant (as defined in Code Section 152(a)); loss of the Participant’s property due to casualty, including the need to rebuild a home
following damage not otherwise covered by insurance, for example, not as a result of a natural disaster; or other similar extraordinary and unforeseeable 

  

 15 

 
circumstances arising as a result of events beyond the control of the Participant, including imminent foreclosure of or eviction from the Participant’s
primary residence, the need to pay for medical expenses, including non-refundable deductibles, the cost of prescription drugs, and the need to pay for funeral expenses of a spouse, beneficiary, or dependent. It shall be the responsibility of the
Participant seeking to make a withdrawal under this section to demonstrate to the Administrative Committee that an unforeseeable emergency has occurred and to document the amount properly distributable hereunder. After a distribution on account of
an unforeseeable emergency, a Participant’s deferral elections shall cease and such Participant will not be permitted to participate in the Plan or elect additional deferrals until the next enrollment following one full year from the date of
the distribution on account of an unforeseeable emergency. Such future deferral elections following a distribution on account of an unforeseeable emergency will be treated as an initial deferral election and subject to the rules applicable thereto
under the Plan and Code Section 409A. 
 5.9 Acceleration of Payment. The acceleration of the time and/or form of any payment
determined in accordance with the provisions of this Article V, above, shall not be made except due to unforeseeable emergency, as described above, or as set forth below and otherwise permitted by Code Section 409A and the Treasury Regulations
and other guidance issued thereunder: 
 (a) Domestic Relations Order. A payment of all or part of the Participant’s Account may
be made to a spouse, former spouse or other dependent under the terms of a domestic relations order (as defined in Code Section 414(p)(1)(B)). The Administrative Committee shall determine whether a payment should be made pursuant to the terms
of a domestic relations order and the time and form of such payment. 
 (b) Employment Taxes. A payment of all or part of the
Participant’s Account may be made to the extent necessary to pay the Federal Insurance Contributions Act (“FICA”) tax imposed under Code Sections 3101, 3121(a), and 3121(v)(2) on amounts deferred under the Plan (the “FICA
Amount”), income tax at source on wages imposed under Code Section 3401 or the corresponding withholding provisions of applicable state, local, or foreign tax laws as a result of the payment of the FICA Amount, and to pay the additional
income tax at source on wages attributable to the pyramiding Code Section 3401 wages and taxes. The total payment under this Section shall not exceed the aggregate of the FICA Amount and the income tax withholding related to such FICA Amount.

 (c) Payment of State, Local or Foreign Taxes. Payment may be made to reflect payment of state, local or foreign tax obligations
arising from participation in the Plan that apply to an amount deferred under the Plan before the amount is paid or made available to the Participant, plus the income tax at source on wages imposed under Code Section 3401 as a result of such
payment; provided, however, that the amount of the payment may not exceed the amount of the taxes due, and the income tax withholding related to such state, local and foreign tax amount. 
 (d) Income Inclusion under Code Section 409A. Payment may be made at any time the Plan fails to meet the requirements of Code
Section 409A and the Treasury Regulations 

  

 16 

 
issued thereunder; provided, however, that payment cannot exceed the amount required to be included in income as a result of the failure to comply.

 (e) Certain Offsets. Payment may be made as satisfaction of a debt of the Participant to the Employer where: (1) the debt is
incurred in the ordinary course of the employment relationship; (2) the entire amount of the offset in any of the Participant’s taxable years does not exceed $5,000; and (3) the reduction is made at the same time and in the same
amount as the debt otherwise would have been due and collected from the Participant. 
 5.10 Delay of Payment. A Participant who is a
“specified employee” (as defined in Code Section 409A and the regulations thereunder) and is entitled to a distribution due to a Separation from Service may not receive a distribution under the Plan until a date that is at least six
months after the date of the Separation from Service. In addition, the Company may in its discretion delay any payment due under the Plan to the extent permitted by Code Section 409A and the regulations thereunder. 
 5.11 Assignment and Assumption of Liabilities. In the discretion of the Company, upon the cessation of participation in the Plan by any
Participant solely due to the employer of that Participant no longer qualifying as a member of the controlled group of Cardinal Health, Inc. within the meaning of Code Sections 414(b) and (c), all liabilities associated with the Account of such
Participant may be transferred to and assumed by the Participant’s employer under a deferred compensation plan established by such employer that is substantially identical to this Plan and that preserves the deferral and payment elections in
effect for the Participant under this Plan to the extent required by Code Section 409A. Any such Participant shall not be deemed to have incurred a Separation from Service for purposes of the Plan by virtue of his employer’s ceasing to be
a member of the controlled group of Cardinal Health, Inc. The foregoing provision shall be interpreted and administered in compliance with the requirements of Code Section 409A. 
 ARTICLE VI 
 PLAN ADMINISTRATION 
 6.1 Administration. The Plan shall be administered by the Administrative Committee as an unfunded deferred compensation plan that is not intended
to meet the qualification requirements of Code Section 401 and that is intended to meet all applicable requirements of Code Section 409A. 
 6.2 Administrative Committee. The Administrative Committee will operate and administer the Plan and shall have all powers necessary to accomplish that purpose, including, but not limited to, the discretionary authority to interpret
the Plan, the discretionary authority to determine all questions relating to the rights and status of Eligible Employees and Participants, and the discretionary authority to make such rules and regulations for the administration of the Plan as are
not inconsistent with the terms and provisions hereof or applicable law, as well as such other authority and powers relating to the administration of the Plan, except such as are 

  

 17 

 
reserved by the Policy Committee or by the Plan to the Policy Committee, the Committee or the Board. All decisions made by the Committee, the Policy
Committee or the Administrative Committee shall be final. 
 Without limiting the powers set forth herein, the Administrative Committee shall
have the power (i) to change or waive any requirements of the Plan to conform with Code Section 409A or other applicable law or to meet special circumstances not anticipated or covered in the Plan; (ii) to determine the times and
places for holding meetings of the Administrative Committee and the notice to be given of such meetings; (iii) to employ such agents and assistants, such counsel (who may be counsel to the Company), and such clerical and other services as the
Administrative Committee may require in carrying out the provisions of the Plan; and (iv) to authorize one or more of their number or any agent to execute or deliver any instrument on behalf of the Administrative Committee. 
 The members of the Administrative Committee, the Policy Committee, the Committee, and the Company and its officers and directors, shall be entitled to
rely upon all valuations, certificates and reports furnished by any funding agent or service provider, upon all certificates and reports made by an accountant, and upon all opinions given by any legal counsel selected or approved by the
Administrative Committee, and the members of the Administrative Committee, the Policy Committee, the Committee, and the Company and its officers and directors shall, except as otherwise provided by law, be fully protected in respect of any action
taken or suffered by them in good faith in reliance upon any such valuations, certificates, reports, opinions or other advice of a funding agent, service provider, accountant or counsel. 
 6.3 Statement of Participant’s Account. The Administrative Committee shall, as soon as practicable after the end of each Plan Year, provide
to each Participant a statement setting forth the Account of such Participant under Section 3.6 as of the end of such Plan Year. Such statement shall be deemed to have been accepted as correct unless written notice to the contrary is received
by the Administrative Committee within 30 days after providing such statement to the Participant. Account statements may be provided more often than annually in the discretion of the Administrative Committee. 
 6.4 Filing Claims. Any Participant, Beneficiary or other individual (hereinafter a “Claimant”) entitled to benefits under the Plan, or
otherwise eligible to participate herein, shall be required to make a claim with the Administrative Committee (or its designee) requesting payment or distribution of such Plan benefits (or written confirmation of Plan eligibility, as the case may
be), on such form or in such manner as the Administrative Committee shall prescribe. Unless and until a Claimant makes proper application for benefits in accordance with the rules and procedures established by the Administrative Committee, such
Claimant shall have no right to receive any distribution from or under the Plan. 
 6.5 Notification to Claimant. If a Claimant’s
application is wholly or partially denied, the Administrative Committee (or its designee) shall, within 90 days, furnish to such Claimant a written notice of its decision. Such notices shall be written in a manner calculated to be understood by such
Claimant, and shall contain at least the following information: 
 (i) the specific reason or reasons for such denial;

  

 18 

 (ii) specific reference to pertinent Plan provisions upon which such denial is based;

 (iii) a description of any additional material or information necessary for such Claimant to perfect his claim, and an
explanation of why such material or information is necessary; and 
 (iv) an explanation of the Plan’s claim review
procedure describing the steps to be taken by such Claimant, if he wishes to submit his claim for review. 
 6.6 Review Procedure.
Within 60 days after the receipt of such notice from the Administrative Committee, such Claimant, or the duly authorized representative thereof, may request, by written application to the Plan, a review by the Administrative Committee (the Committee
in the case of Reporting Persons) of the decision denying such claim. In connection with such review, such Claimant, or duly authorized representative thereof, shall be entitled to receive any and all documents pertinent to the claim or its denial
and shall also be entitled to submit issues and comments in writing. The decision of the Administrative Committee (the Committee in the case of Reporting Persons) upon such review shall be made promptly and not later than 60 days after the receipt
of such request for review, unless special circumstances require an extension of time for processing, in which case a decision shall be rendered as soon as possible, but not later than 120 days after the Administrative Committee’s (the
Committee’s in the case of Reporting Persons) receipt of a request for review. Any such decision on review shall be in writing and shall include specific reasons for the decision and specific references to the pertinent Plan provisions on which
the decision is based. In the event of a genuine dispute regarding the amount or timing of payments under the Plan, a delay in the payment of Plan benefits shall not cause a violation of Code Section 409A to the extent such delay satisfies the
conditions set forth in Code Section 409A and the regulations thereunder. 
 6.7 Payment of Expenses. All costs and expenses
incurred in administering the Plan shall be paid from the Plan unless the Company elects to pay the costs and expenses. 
 ARTICLE VII

 AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION 
 7.1 Amendment. The Company has reserved, and does hereby reserve, the right at any time and from time to time by action of the Board or the Committee (or by action of the Policy Committee or the Administrative Committee if and to the
extent that the Board or the Committee has delegated the authority to amend the provisions of the Plan to either such committee) to amend, modify or alter any or all of the provisions of the Plan without the consent of any Eligible Employees or
Participants; provided, however, that no amendment shall operate retroactively so as to affect adversely any rights to which a Participant may be entitled under the provisions of the Plan as in effect prior to such action. Any such amendment,
modification or alteration shall be expressed in an instrument executed by an authorized officer or officers of the Company, and shall become effective as of the date designated in such instrument. 
  

 19 

 7.2 Termination. The Company reserves the right to suspend, discontinue or terminate the Plan, at
any time in whole or in part; provided, however, that a suspension, discontinuance or termination of the Plan shall not accelerate the obligation to make payments to any person not otherwise currently entitled to payments under the Plan, unless
otherwise specifically so determined by the Company and permitted by applicable law, relieve the Company of its obligations to make payments to any person then entitled to payments under the Plan, or reduce any existing Account balance. 

ARTICLE VIII 
 MISCELLANEOUS
PROVISIONS 
 8.1 Employment Relationship. For purposes of determining if there has been a Separation from Service, the Employer
is defined to include all members of a controlled group of corporations or other business entities within the meaning of Code Sections 414(b) and (c) that includes Cardinal Health, Inc. as modified by this Section. A Participant shall be
considered to be in the employ of the Employer and its related affiliates and subsidiaries as long as he remains an employee of the Company, any subsidiary corporation of the Company, or any corporation to which substantially all of the assets and
business of the Company are transferred. For this purpose, a subsidiary corporation of the Company is any corporation (other than the Company) in an unbroken chain of corporations beginning with the Company if, as of the date such determination is
to be made, each of the corporations other than the last corporation in the unbroken chain owns stock possessing greater than 50 percent of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock in one of the other corporations in such chain.
Nothing in the adoption of the Plan or the crediting of deferred compensation shall confer on any Participant the right to continued employment by the Company or an affiliate or subsidiary corporation of the Company, or affect in any way the right
of the Company or such affiliate or subsidiary to terminate his employment at any time. Any question as to whether and when there has been a Separation from Service of a Participant’s employment, and the cause of such Separation from Service,
shall be determined by the Administrative Committee, and its determination shall be final. 
 8.2 Facility of Payments. Whenever, in
the opinion of the Administrative Committee, a person entitled to receive any payment, or installment thereof, is under a legal disability or is unable to manage his financial affairs, the Administrative Committee shall have the discretionary
authority to direct payments to such person’s legal representative or to a relative or friend of such person for his benefit; alternatively, the Administrative Committee may in its discretion apply the payment for the benefit of such person in
such manner as the Administrative Committee deems advisable. Any such payment or application of benefits made in good faith in accordance with the provisions of this Section shall be a complete discharge of any liability of the Administrative
Committee with respect to such payment or application of benefits. 
 8.3 Funding. All benefits under the Plan are unfunded and the
Company shall not be required to establish any special or separate fund or to make any other segregation of assets in order to assure the payment of any amounts under the Plan; provided, however, that in order to 

  

 20 

 
provide a source of payment for its obligations under the Plan, the Company may establish a trust fund. The right of a Participant or his Beneficiary to
receive a distribution hereunder shall be an unsecured claim against the general assets of the Company, and neither the Participant nor his Beneficiary shall have any rights in or against any amounts credited under the Plan or any other specific
assets of the Company. All amounts credited under the Plan to the benefit of a Participant shall constitute general assets of the Company and may be disposed of by the Company at such time and for such purposes as it may deem appropriate.

 8.4 Anti-Assignment. No right or benefit under the Plan shall be subject to anticipation, alienation, sale, assignment, pledge,
encumbrance or charge; and any attempt to anticipate, alienate, sell, assign, pledge, encumber or charge the same shall be void. No right or benefit shall be liable for or subject to the debts, contracts, liabilities, or torts of the person entitled
to such benefits. If a Participant, a Participant’s spouse, or any Beneficiary should become bankrupt or attempt to anticipate, alienate, sell, assign, pledge, encumber or charge any right to benefits under the Plan, then those rights, in the
discretion of the Administrative Committee, shall cease. In this case, the Administrative Committee may hold or apply the benefits at issue or any part thereof for the benefit of the Participant, the Participant’s spouse, or Beneficiary in such
manner as the Administrative Committee may deem proper. 
 8.5 Unclaimed Interests. If the Administrative Committee shall at any time
be unable to make distribution or payment of benefits hereunder to a Participant or any Beneficiary of a Participant by reason of the fact that his whereabouts is unknown, the Administrative Committee shall so certify, and thereafter the
Administrative Committee shall make a reasonable attempt to locate such missing person. If such person continues missing for a period of three years following such certification, the interest of such Participant in the Plan shall, in the discretion
of the Administrative Committee, be distributed to the Beneficiary of such missing person. 
 8.6 References to Code, Statutes and
Regulations. Any and all references in the Plan to any provision of the Code, ERISA, or any other statute, law, regulation, ruling or order shall be deemed to refer also to any successor statute, law, regulation, ruling or order. 
 8.7 Liability. The Company, and its directors, officers and employees, shall be free from liability, joint or several, for personal acts,
omissions, and conduct, and for the acts, omissions and conduct of duly constituted agents, in the administration of the Plan, except to the extent that the effects and consequences of such personal acts, omissions or conduct shall result from
willful misconduct. However, this Section shall not operate to relieve any of the aforementioned from any responsibility or liability for any responsibility, obligation, or duty that may arise under ERISA. 
 8.8 Tax Consequences of Compensation Reductions. The income tax consequences to Participants of Compensation reductions under the Plan shall be
determined under applicable federal, state and local tax law and regulation. 
 8.9 Company as Agent for Related Employers. Each
corporation which shall become a participating employer pursuant to Section 2.5 by so doing shall be deemed to have appointed the Company its agent to exercise on its behalf all of the powers and authority hereby conferred upon the Company by
the terms of the Plan, including but not limited to the power to amend and 

  

 21 

 
terminate the Plan. The Company’s authority shall continue unless and until the related employer terminates its participation in the Plan. 

8.10 Governing Law; Severability. The Plan shall be construed according to the laws of the State of Ohio, including choice of law provisions,
and all provisions hereof shall be administered according to the laws of that State, except to the extent preempted by federal law. A final judgment in any action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit
on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. In the event that any one or more of the provisions of the Plan shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not
affect any other provision of the Plan, but the Plan shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provisions had never been contained herein, and there shall be deemed substituted such other provision as will most nearly
accomplish the intent of the parties to the extent permitted by applicable law. 
 8.11 Taxes. The Company shall be entitled to
withhold any taxes from any distribution hereunder or from other compensation then payable, as it believes necessary, appropriate, or required under relevant law.
