Securities") up to an aggregate initial offering price not to exceed
$400,000,000 (or the equivalent in foreign-denominated currency or currency
units based on or relating to foreign currencies, including European Currency
Units). The Debt Securities will rank equally with all other current and future
unsecured indebtedness of the Company and prior to subordinated indebtedness, if
any. The Debt Securities may be sold for U.S. dollars, foreign-denominated
currency or currency units; principal of and interest on the Debt Securities may
likewise be payable in U.S. dollars, foreign-denominated currency or currency
units, in each case as the Company specifically designates. The Company does not
currently intend to issue Debt Securities based on or relating to foreign
currencies or foreign currency units.
 
     The Debt Securities will be offered in amounts, at prices, with maturities
and on terms to be determined in light of market conditions at the time of the
offering and set forth in one or more accompanying prospectus supplements (the
"Prospectus Supplement"). The Prospectus Supplement will set forth the specific
designation, aggregate principal amount, authorized denominations and currency
or currency unit in which the Debt Securities may be purchased and in which the
principal and any interest is payable; purchase price, maturity, rate of or
manner of calculating interest, if any; time of payment of interest, if any;
terms, if any, for redemption at the option of the Company or the holder; terms
for sinking fund payments, if any; terms for any mandatory redemption; listing

Securities will be issuable as global securities and the identity of the
depositary for any global securities; and any other specific terms relating to
any series of the Debt Securities.
 
THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED BY THE SECURITIES AND
EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION NOR HAS THE SECURITIES
AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION PASSED UPON THE
ACCURACY OR ADEQUACY OF THIS PROSPECTUS. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A
CRIMINAL OFFENSE.
 
     The Debt Securities may be offered through dealers, underwriters or agents

proceeds to the Company will be the purchase price in the case of a dealer, the
public offering price less discount in the case of an underwriter or the
purchase price less commission in the case of an agent; in each case, less other
attributable expenses of issuance and distribution. The Company may also sell
Debt Securities directly to investors on its own behalf. In the case of sales
made directly by the Company, no commission will be payable. See "Plan of
Distribution" for possible indemnification arrangements for dealers,
underwriters and agents.

                                  THE COMPANY
 
     Cardinal, a holding company operating through a number of separate
operating subsidiaries, is a leading health care service provider, offering an
array of value-added pharmaceutical distribution services to a broad base of
customers. It is one of the nation's largest wholesale distributors of
pharmaceutical and related health care products to independent and chain drug
stores, hospitals, alternate care centers and the pharmacy departments of
supermarkets and mass merchandisers located throughout the continental United
States. Through its subsidiary, Pyxis Corporation ("Pyxis"), Cardinal develops
and manufactures unique point-of-use systems which automate the distribution,
management and control of medications and supplies in hospitals and alternate
care facilities. Cardinal is the largest franchisor of independent retail
pharmacies in the United States through its subsidiary, Medicine Shoppe
International, Inc. ("Medicine Shoppe"). In addition, through its subsidiaries,
Owen Healthcare, Inc. ("Owen"), and Allied Healthcare Service, Inc. ("Allied"),
Cardinal provides pharmacy management services to hospitals. PCI Services, Inc.
("PCI"), another one of Cardinal's subsidiaries, is a leading international
provider of integrated packaging services to pharmaceutical manufacturers.
 
     As a full-service wholesale distributor, Cardinal complements its
distribution activities by offering a broad range of value-added support
services to assist Cardinal's customers and suppliers in maintaining and
improving their market positions and to strengthen Cardinal's role in the
channel of distribution. These support services include computerized order entry
and order confirmation systems, customized invoicing, generic sourcing programs,
product movement and management reports, consultation on store operation and
merchandising, and customer training. Cardinal's proprietary software systems
feature customized databases specially designed to help its customers order more
efficiently, contain costs, and monitor their purchases which are covered by
group contract purchasing arrangements.
 
     Cardinal operates several specialty health care businesses which offer
value-added services to Cardinal's customers and suppliers while providing
Cardinal with additional opportunities for growth and profitability. For
example, Cardinal operates a pharmaceutical repackaging program for both
independent and chain drugstore customers and serves as a distributor of
therapeutic plasma products and other specialty pharmaceuticals to hospitals,
clinics and other managed care facilities on a nationwide basis through the
utilization of telemarketing and direct mail programs. These specialty
distribution activities are part of Cardinal's overall strategy of developing
diversified products and services to enhance the profitability of its business
and that of its customers and suppliers.
 
     In February 1994, Cardinal merged with Whitmire Distribution Corporation
("Whitmire"), a Folsom, California-based pharmaceutical wholesaler. The majority
of Whitmire's sales were concentrated in the western and central United States,
complementing the Company's former concentration of sales in the eastern United
States and positioning the combined company to service both customers and
suppliers on a national basis. As a result of the Whitmire merger, the Company
now maintains a network of distribution centers enabling it to routinely serve
the entire population of the continental U.S. on a next-day basis.
 
     Cardinal has completed several additional business combinations since the
Whitmire merger. On July 1, 1994, Cardinal acquired Humiston-Keeling, Inc., a
Calumet City, Illinois-based drug wholesaler serving customers located primarily
in the upper midwest region of the United States. On July 18, 1994, Cardinal
merged with Behrens Inc., a Waco, Texas-based drug wholesaler serving customers
located primarily in Texas and adjoining states. On November 13, 1995, Cardinal
merged with Medicine Shoppe, a St. Louis, Missouri-based franchisor of
independent apothecary-style pharmacies in the United States and abroad. On May
7, 1996, Cardinal merged with Pyxis, a San Diego, California-based designer,
manufacturer, marketer and servicer of unique point-of-use systems which
automate the distribution, management and control of medications and supplies in
hospitals and other health care facilities. On October 11, 1996, Cardinal
completed a merger with PCI, a Philadelphia, Pennsylvania-based provider of
integrated packaging services to pharmaceutical manufacturers. Finally, on March
18, 1997, Cardinal completed a merger with Owen, a Houston, Texas-based provider
of fully integrated pharmacy management and information services to hospitals.

(1) On March 1, 1994, the Company changed its fiscal year from March 31 to June
    30.
 
     The ratio of earnings to fixed charges is computed by dividing fixed
charges of the Company and entities 50% or more owned by the Company into
earnings before income taxes plus fixed charges. Fixed charges include interest
expense, amortization of debt offering costs, preferred stock dividend
requirements of subsidiaries, and the portion of rental expense which is deemed
to be representative of the interest factor.
 
                                USE OF PROCEEDS
 
     The Company does not currently have any specific plans for the net proceeds
from the sale of Debt Securities. Except as otherwise specified in the
Prospectus Supplement, the net proceeds from the sale of the Debt Securities
will be used by the Company for general corporate purposes, which may include
working capital, capital expenditures, repayment or refinancing of indebtedness,
acquisitions, and investments.
 
                         DESCRIPTION OF DEBT SECURITIES
 
     The Debt Securities will be issued under an Indenture dated as of
            , 1997 (hereinafter referred to as the "Indenture"), between the
Company and Bank One, Columbus, N.A., as Trustee (hereinafter referred to as the
"Trustee"). The Indenture does not limit the amount of Debt Securities or any
other debt which may be incurred by the Company or its subsidiaries, except as
provided below under "Limitations on Subsidiary Debt." Unless otherwise
specified in a Prospectus Supplement, a default in the Company's obligations
with respect to any other indebtedness will not constitute a default or an Event
of Default (as defined in the Indenture) with respect to the Debt Securities.
The Indenture does not contain any covenants or provisions that afford holders
of Debt Securities protection in the event of a highly leveraged transaction.
The Debt Securities will be unsecured and will rank on a parity with all other
unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of the Company. Currently, the Company
conducts nearly all of its operations through subsidiaries and expects that it
will continue to do so. As a result, the right of the Company to participate as
a shareholder in any distribution of assets of any subsidiary upon its
liquidation or reorganization or otherwise and the ability of holders of Debt
Securities to benefit as creditors of the Company from any such distribution are
subject to the prior claims of creditors of such subsidiary. As of February 28,
1997, the Company had outstanding approximately $436 million of indebtedness for
borrowed money with which the Debt Securities would rank equally. In addition,
as of such date, the Company's subsidiaries had outstanding approximately $60
million of indebtedness for borrowed money and approximately $1.042 billion of
trade payables to which the Debt Securities would be effectively subordinated.
 
     The following statements are subject to the detailed provisions of the
Indenture, which is incorporated by reference as an exhibit to the Registration
Statements of which this Prospectus is a part and which is also available for
inspection at the office of the Trustee. Section references are to the
Indenture. Wherever particular provisions of the Indenture are referred to, such
provisions are incorporated by reference as a part of the statements made and
the statements are qualified in their entirety by such reference.

     The Indenture provides that the Debt Securities may be issued from time to
time in one or more series. The Prospectus Supplement which accompanies this
Prospectus will set forth the following terms of and information relating to the
Debt Securities offered thereby: (i) the designation, aggregate principal amount
and purchase price of the Debt Securities; (ii) the date or dates on which
principal of the Debt Securities is payable; (iii) the rate or rates per annum

     Unless otherwise specified in the accompanying Prospectus Supplement,
principal and premium, if any, will be payable, and the Debt Securities will be

registered at the close of business on the related record dates, and, unless
other arrangements are made, will be paid by checks mailed to such persons.

     Debt Securities may be issued as discounted debt securities (bearing no
interest or interest at a rate which at the time of issuance is below market

principal amount ("Original Issue Discount Securities"). Federal income tax
consequences and other special considerations applicable to any such Original
Issue Discount Securities will be described in the Prospectus Supplement

Debt Securities remain outstanding, the Company will not, nor will it permit any
Consolidated Subsidiary to, create or assume any Indebtedness for borrowed money
which is secured by a mortgage, pledge, security interest or lien ("liens") of
or upon any assets, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, of the Company or

                                        7
<PAGE>   9
 
purpose of financing all or any part of the purchase price (or, in the case of
real property, the cost of construction) of the assets subject to such liens
(including, but not limited to, liens incurred in connection with pollution
control, industrial revenue or similar financings); (g) any extension, renewal
or replacements (or successive extensions, renewals or replacements) in whole or

materially impair the use of such assets in the operation of the business of the
Company or such Consolidated Subsidiary or the value of such assets for the
purposes thereof; or (l) liens on any assets of a Financing Subsidiary.
Notwithstanding the foregoing restrictions, the Company or any Consolidated
Subsidiary may create or assume any Indebtedness which is secured by a lien,
without securing the Debt Securities, provided that at the time of such creation

then outstanding at such time does not exceed 20% of Consolidated Net Tangible
Assets. (Section 3.9)
 
     Limitations on Subsidiary Debt. The Indenture provides that the Company

apply to the incurrence of (a) Indebtedness outstanding on the date of the
Indenture; (b) Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary that represents its
assumption of Indebtedness of another Subsidiary, and Indebtedness owed by any
Restricted Subsidiary to the Company or to another Subsidiary, provided that
such Indebtedness will be at all times held by either the Company or a
Subsidiary, and provided further that upon the transfer or disposition of such
Indebtedness to someone other than the Company or another Subsidiary, the
incurrence of such Indebtedness will be deemed to be an incurrence that is not
permitted; (c) Indebtedness arising from (i) the endorsement of negotiable
instruments for deposit or collection or similar transactions in the ordinary
course of business; or (ii) the honoring by a bank or other financial
institution of a check, draft or similar instrument inadvertently (except in the
case of daylight overdrafts) drawn against insufficient funds in the ordinary
course of business, provided that such overdraft is extinguished within five
Business Days (as defined in the Indenture) of incurrence; (d) Indebtedness
arising from guarantees of loans and advances by third parties to employees and

fide business purposes, provided that the aggregate amount of such guarantees by
all Restricted Subsidiaries does not exceed $1,000,000; (e) Indebtedness
incurred by a foreign Restricted Subsidiary in the ordinary course of business;
(f) Indebtedness of any corporation existing at the time such corporation
becomes a Restricted Subsidiary or is merged into a Restricted Subsidiary or at

all or substantially all of the assets of such corporation; (g) Indebtedness of
a Restricted Subsidiary arising from agreements or guarantees providing for or
creating any obligations of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries incurred in
connection with the disposition of any business, property or Subsidiary,
excluding guarantees or similar credit support by a Restricted Subsidiary of
Indebtedness incurred by the acquirer of such business, property or Subsidiary
for the purpose of financing such acquisition; (h) Indebtedness of a Restricted
Subsidiary with respect to bonds, bankers' acceptances or letters of credit

Indebtedness incurred to finance the purchase price or cost of construction of
improvements with respect to property or assets acquired after the date of the
Indenture; (j) Indebtedness that is issued, assumed or guaranteed in connection
with compliance by a Restricted Subsidiary with the requirements of any program,
applicable to such Restricted Subsidiary, adopted by any governmental authority
that provides for financial or tax benefits which are not available directly to
the Company; (k) Indebtedness arising from Rate Hedging Obligations incurred to
limit risks of currency or interest rate fluctuations to which a Subsidiary is
otherwise subject by virtue of the operations of its business, and not for
 
                                        8
<PAGE>   10
 
speculative purposes; (l) Indebtedness incurred by any Financing Subsidiary; and
(m) Indebtedness incurred in connection with refinancing of any Indebtedness
described in (a), (b), (f), (g) and (i) above ("Refinancing Indebtedness"),
provided that (i) the principal amount of such Refinancing Indebtedness does not
exceed the principal amount of the Indebtedness so refinanced (plus the premiums
paid and expenses incurred in connection therewith), (ii) the Refinancing
Indebtedness has a weighted average life to maturity equal to or greater than
the weighted average life to maturity of the Indebtedness being refinanced, and
(iii) the Refinancing Indebtedness ranks no more senior, and is at least as
subordinated, as the Indebtedness being refinanced. Notwithstanding the
foregoing restrictions, Restricted Subsidiaries may incur any Indebtedness for
money borrowed that would otherwise be subject to the foregoing restrictions in
an aggregate principal amount which, together with the aggregate principal
amount of other Indebtedness (not including the Indebtedness permitted above),
does not, at the time such Indebtedness is incurred, exceed 20% of Consolidated
Net Tangible Assets. (Section 3.11)
 
     Limitation on Sale and Lease-Back Transactions. Sale and lease-back
transactions (except such transactions involving leases for less than three
years) by the Company or any Consolidated Subsidiary of any assets are
prohibited unless (a) the Company or such Consolidated Subsidiary would be
entitled to incur Indebtedness secured by a lien on the assets to be leased in
an amount at least equal to the Attributable Debt in respect to such transaction
without equally and ratably securing the Debt Securities, or (b) the proceeds of
the sale of the assets to be leased are at least equal to their fair value as
determined by the Board of Directors of the Company and the proceeds are applied
to the purchase or acquisition (or, in the case of real property, the
construction) of assets or to the retirement of Senior Funded Indebtedness. The
foregoing limitation will not apply, if at the time the Company or any
Consolidated Subsidiary enters into such sale and lease-back transaction and,
immediately after giving effect thereto, Exempted Debt does not exceed 20% of
the Consolidated Net Tangible Assets. (Section 3.10)
 
     Merger, Consolidation, Sale, Lease or Conveyance. The Indenture provides
that the Company will not merge or consolidate with any other corporation and
will not sell, lease or convey all or substantially all its assets to any
person, unless the Company shall be the continuing corporation, or the successor
corporation or person that acquires all or substantially all the assets of the
Company shall be a corporation organized under the laws of the United States or
a State thereof or the District of Columbia and shall expressly assume all
obligations of the Company under the Indenture and the Debt Securities issued
thereunder, and immediately after such merger, consolidation, sale, lease or
conveyance, the Company, such person or such successor corporation shall not be
in default in the performance of the covenants and conditions of the Indenture
to be performed or observed by the Company. (Section 8.1)
 
BOOK-ENTRY DEBT SECURITIES
 
     The Debt Securities of a series may be issued in whole or in part in the
form of one or more global securities (each a "Global Security") that will be
deposited with, or on behalf of, a depositary ("Global Security Depositary") or
its nominee identified in the applicable Prospectus Supplement. In such a case,
one or more Global Securities will be issued in a denomination or aggregate
denominations equal to the portion of the aggregate principal amount of
outstanding Debt Securities of the series to be represented by such Global
Security or Securities. Unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for
Debt Securities in registered form, a Global Security may not be registered for
transfer or exchange except as a whole by the Global Security Depositary for
such Global Security to a nominee of such Depositary or by a nominee of such
Depositary to such Depositary or another nominee of such Depositary or by such
Depositary or any nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such
successor Depositary and except in the circumstances described in the applicable
Prospectus Supplement.
 
     The specific terms of the depositary arrangement with respect to any
portion of a series of Debt Securities to be represented by a Global Security
will be described in the applicable Prospectus Supplement. However, the Company
expects that the following provisions will apply to depositary arrangements.
 
     Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, Debt
Securities which are to be represented by a Global Security to be deposited with
or on behalf of a Global Security Depositary will be
 
                                        9
<PAGE>   11
 
represented by a Global Security registered in the name of the Global Security
Depositary or its nominee. Upon the issuance of such Global Security, and the
deposit of such Global Security with or on behalf of the Global Security
Depositary for such Global Security, such Depositary will credit on its
book-entry registration and transfer system the respective principal amounts of
the Debt Securities represented by such Global Security to the accounts of
institutions that have accounts with such Depositary or its nominee
("participants"). The accounts to be credited will be designated by the
underwriters or agents of such Debt Securities or by the Company, if such Debt
Securities are offered and sold directly by the Company. Ownership of beneficial
interests in such Global Security will be limited to participants or persons
that may hold interests through participants. Ownership of beneficial interests
by participants in such Global Security will be shown on, and the transfer of
that ownership interest will be effected only through, records maintained by the
Global Security Depositary or its nominee for such Global Security. Ownership of
beneficial interests in such Global Security by persons that hold through
participants will be shown on, and the transfer of that ownership interest
within such participant will be effected only through, records maintained by
such participant. The laws of some jurisdictions require that certain purchasers
of securities take physical delivery of such securities in certificated form.
The foregoing limitations and such laws may impair the ability to transfer
beneficial interests in such Global Securities.
 
     So long as the Global Security Depositary for a Global Security, or its
nominee, is the registered owner of such Global Security, such Depositary or
such nominee, as the case may be, will be considered the sole owner or holder of
the Debt Securities represented by such Global Security for all purposes under
the Indenture. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Prospectus
Supplement, owners of beneficial interests in such Global Security will not be
entitled to have Debt Securities of the series represented by such Global
Security registered in their names, will not receive or be entitled to receive
physical delivery of Debt Securities of such series in certificated form, and
will not be considered the holders thereof for any purposes under the Indenture.
Accordingly, each person owning a beneficial interest in such Global Security
must rely on the procedures of the Global Security Depositary and, if such
person is not a participant, on the procedures of the participant through which
such person owns its interest, to exercise any rights of a holder under the
Indenture. The Company understands that under existing industry practices, if
the Company requests any action of holders or an owner of a beneficial interest
in such Global Security desires to give any notice or take any action a holder
is entitled to give or take under the Indenture, the Global Security Depositary
would authorize the participants to give such notice or take such action, and
participants would authorize beneficial owners owning through such participants
to give such notice or take such action or would otherwise act upon the
instructions of beneficial owners owning through them.
 
     Principal of and any premium and interest on a Global Security will be
payable in the manner described in the applicable Prospectus Supplement.
 
MODIFICATION OF THE INDENTURE
 
     The Indenture contains provisions permitting the Company and the Trustee,
with the consent of the holders of not less than 66 2/3% in principal amount of
the Debt Securities at the time outstanding of all series affected (voting as
one class), to modify the Indenture or any supplemental indenture or the rights
of the holders of the Debt Securities except that no such modification may (i)
extend the final maturity of any of the Debt Securities or reduce the principal
amount thereof, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest
thereon, or reduce any amount payable on redemption thereof, or reduce the
amount of the principal of an Original Issue Discount Security that would be due
and payable upon an acceleration of the maturity thereof pursuant to Section 4.1
of the Indenture or the amount thereof provable in bankruptcy pursuant to
Section 4.2 of the Indenture, or impair or affect the right of any holder of the
Debt Securities to institute suit for the payment thereof without the consent of
the holder of each of the Debt Securities so affected, or (ii) reduce the
aforesaid percentage of Debt Securities, the consent of the holders of which is
required for any such modification, without the consent of the holders of all
Debt Securities then outstanding. (Section 7.2)
 
     The Indenture also provides that the Company and the Trustee may, without
the consent of the holders of the Debt Securities, modify the Indenture or enter
into supplemental indentures (a) to convey, transfer, assign, mortgage or pledge
to the Trustee as security for the Debt Securities of one or more series any
property
 
                                       10
<PAGE>   12
 
or assets, (b) to evidence the succession of another corporation to the Company
and the assumption by the successor corporation of the covenants, agreements and
obligations of the Company, (c) to add to the covenants of the Company such
further covenants, restrictions, conditions or provisions as the Board of
Directors of the Company and the Trustee shall consider to be for the protection
of the holders of the Debt Securities and to make the occurrence or the
occurrence and continuance of a default in any such additional covenants,
restrictions, conditions or provisions an Event of Default; provided, however,
that in respect of any such additional covenant, restriction, condition or
provision, such supplemental indenture may provide for a particular period of
grace after default or may provide for an immediate enforcement upon such Event
of Default or may limit the remedies available to the Trustee upon such an Event
of Default or may limit the right of the holders of a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the Debt Securities of such series to waive such an Event of
Default, (d) to cure any ambiguity or to correct or supplement any provision
contained in the Indenture which may be defective or inconsistent with any other
provision contained in the Indenture or to make such other provisions in regard
to matters or questions arising under the Indenture as the Board of Directors of
the Company may deem necessary or desirable and which shall not adversely affect
the interests of the holders of the Debt Securities in any material respect, (e)
to establish the form or terms of Debt Securities, and (f) to evidence or
provide for the acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee and to add to
or change any of the provisions of the Indenture as may be necessary to provide
for or facilitate the administration of the trusts created thereunder by more
than one trustee. (Section 7.1)
 
EVENTS OF DEFAULT
 
     An Event of Default with respect to Debt Securities of any series issued
under the Indenture is defined in the Indenture as being: default for 30 days in
payment of any interest upon any Debt Securities of such series; default in any
payment of principal or premium, if any, upon any Debt Securities of such
series; default in the payment of any sinking fund installment payable by the
terms of the Debt Securities of such series; default by the Company in
performance of any other of the covenants or agreements in respect of the Debt
Securities of such series or the Indenture which shall not have been remedied
for a period of 90 days after written notice specifying that such notice is a
"Notice of Default" under the Indenture; certain events involving bankruptcy,
insolvency or reorganization of the Company; and any other event of default
provided in the supplemental indenture or resolution of the Company's Board of
Directors under which the series of Debt Securities are issued or in the form of
the Debt Security for such series. (Section 4.1) Unless otherwise specified in a
Prospectus Supplement, a default by the Company with respect to any Indebtedness
other than the Debt Securities will not constitute an Event of Default with
respect to the Debt Securities. The Indenture will provide that the Trustee may
withhold notice to the holders of any series of the Debt Securities of any
default (except in payment of principal of, or interest on, such series of Debt
Securities or in the payment of any sinking or purchase fund installment with
respect to such series of Debt Securities) if the Trustee considers it in the
interest of the holders of such series of Debt Securities to do so. (Section
4.11)
 
     The Indenture provides that (a) if an Event of Default due to the default
in payment of principal or, premium, if any, or interest on, or any sinking fund
installment with respect to, any series of Debt Securities issued under such
Indenture or due to the default in the performance or breach of any other
covenant or warranty of the Company applicable to the Debt Securities of such
series but not applicable to all outstanding Debt Securities issued under such
Indenture shall have occurred and be continuing, either the Trustee or the
holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Debt Securities of each
affected series issued under such Indenture and then outstanding (each such
series voting as a separate class) may then declare the principal of all Debt
Securities of such affected series and interest accrued thereon to be due and
payable immediately; and (b) if an Event of Default due to a default in the
performance of any other of the covenants or agreements in such Indenture
applicable to all outstanding Debt Securities issued thereunder and then
outstanding or due to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency and
reorganization of the Company shall have occurred and be continuing, either the
Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of all Debt
Securities issued under such Indenture and then outstanding (treated as one
class) may declare the principal of all such Debt Securities and interest
accrued thereon to be due and payable immediately, but upon certain conditions
(which include the deposit by the Company with the Trustee of a sum sufficient
to pay all matured installments of interest and principal and certain expenses
of the Trustee and the curing, waiving or
 
                                       11
<PAGE>   13
 
remedying of all Events of Default other than nonpayment or principal) such
declarations may be annulled and past defaults may be waived (except a
continuing default in payment of principal of (or premium, if any) or interest
on such Debt Securities) by the holders of a majority in principal amount of the
Debt Securities of all such affected series then outstanding. (Sections 4.1 and
4.10)
 
     The holders of a majority in principal amount of the Debt Securities of
each series then outstanding and affected (with each series voting as a separate
class) shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting
any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee with respect to the Debt
Securities of such series under the Indenture, subject to certain limitations
specified in the Indenture, provided that the holders of such Debt Securities
shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable indemnity against expenses and
liabilities. (Sections 4.9 and 4.2(d))
 
     The Indenture provides that no holder of Debt Securities may institute any
action against the Company under the Indenture (except actions for payment of
overdue principal or interest) unless such holder previously shall have given to
the Trustee written notice of default and continuance thereof and unless the
holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Debt Securities of each
affected series (with each series voting as a separate class) issued under the
Indenture and then outstanding shall have requested the Trustee to institute
such action and shall have offered the Trustee reasonable indemnity, the Trustee
shall not have instituted such action within 60 days of such request and the
Trustee shall not have received direction inconsistent with such written request
by the holders of a majority in principal amount of the Debt Securities of each
affected series (with each series voting as a separate class) issued under such
Indenture and then outstanding. (Sections 4.6, 4.7 and 4.9) At any time prior to
the evidencing to the Trustee of the taking of any action by the holders of the
percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Debt Securities of any or all
series specified in the Indenture in connection with such action, any holder of
a Debt Security may, by filing written notice with the Trustee, revoke such
action so far as concerns such security. (Section 6.5)
 
     The Indenture will require the annual filing by the Company with the
Trustee of a written statement as to compliance with the principal covenants
contained in the Indenture. (Section 3.5)
 
SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE
 
     The Indenture will cease to be of further effect and the Trustee, on demand
of and at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments
acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture upon compliance with
certain enumerated conditions, including the Company having paid all sums
payable by the Company under the Indenture, when either (a) the Company shall
have delivered to the Trustee for cancellation all Debt Securities theretofore
authenticated or (b) all Debt Securities not theretofore delivered to the
Trustee for cancellation shall have become due and payable or are by their terms
to become due and payable within one year. (Section 9.1)
 
THE TRUSTEE
 
     The Trustee under the Indenture is Bank One, Columbus, N.A. The Trustee is
an affiliate of Bank One, Indianapolis, N.A., the trustee under a separate
indenture for the Company's 6 1/2% Notes due 2004 and the Company's 6% Notes due
2006.
 
                              PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
 
     The Company may sell the Debt Securities being offered hereby in any of
four ways: (i) through underwriters, (ii) through dealers, (iii) through agents,
or (iv) directly to purchasers. The Prospectus Supplement will set forth the
terms of any offering of a particular series of Debt Securities and will
include, without limitation, (i) the name or names of any underwriters, dealers
or agents with which the Company has entered into arrangements with respect to
the sale of such Debt Securities; (ii) the initial public offering or purchase
price of such Debt Securities; (iii) the principal amounts of the Debt
Securities to be purchased by any such underwriters, dealers or agents; (iv) any
underwriting discounts, commissions and other items constituting underwriters'
compensation and any other discounts, concessions or commissions allowed or
 
                                       12
<PAGE>   14
 
reallowed or paid by any underwriters to other dealers; (v) any commissions paid
to any agents; (vi) the net proceeds to the Company from the sale of such Debt
Securities; and (vii) the securities exchanges, if any, on which such Debt
Securities will be listed.
 
     If underwriters are used in the offering of Debt Securities, the Debt
Securities being sold will be acquired by the underwriters for their own account
and may be resold from time to time in one or more transactions, including
negotiated transactions, at a fixed public offering price or at varying prices
determined at the time of such resale. Unless otherwise set forth in an
applicable Prospectus Supplement, the obligations of the underwriters to
purchase such Debt Securities will be subject to certain conditions precedent
and each of the underwriters with respect to such Debt Securities will be
obligated to purchase all of the Debt Securities allocated to it if any such
Debt Securities are purchased. Any initial public offering price and any
discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers may be changed
from time to time.
 
     If dealers are utilized in the sale of the Debt Securities in respect of
which this Prospectus is delivered, the Company will sell such Debt Securities
to such dealers, as principals. The dealers may then resell such Debt Securities
to the public at varying prices to be determined by such dealers at the time of
resale.
 
     Offers to purchase Debt Securities may be solicited by agents designated by
the Company from time to time. Any such agent, who may be deemed to be an
underwriter as that term is defined in the Securities Act, involved in the offer
or sale of the Debt Securities in respect to which this Prospectus is delivered
will be named, and any commission payable by the Company to such agent set
forth, in the Prospectus Supplement. Unless otherwise indicated in the
Prospectus Supplement, any such agent will be acting on a best-efforts basis for
the period of its appointment.
 
     Offers to purchase Debt Securities may be solicited, and sales thereof may
be made directly by the Company to institutional investors or others, who may be
deemed to be underwriters within the meaning of the Securities Act with respect
to resales thereof.
 
     Underwriters, dealers and agents participating in the distribution of Debt
Securities may be deemed to be "underwriters," as that term is defined under the
Securities Act, and any discounts and commissions received by them and any
profit realized by them on the resale thereof may be deemed to be underwriting
discounts and commissions, under the Securities Act. Underwriters, dealers and
agents participating in the distribution of Debt Securities may be entitled
under agreements entered into with the Company to indemnification by the Company
against certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities
Act. Such underwriters, dealers and agents may be customers of, engage in
transactions with, or perform services for the Company in the ordinary course of
business.
 
                                 LEGAL MATTERS
 
     Unless otherwise indicated in the Prospectus Supplement relating to the
Debt Securities, certain legal matters in connection with the Debt Securities
will be passed upon for the Company by Baker & Hostetler LLP, Cleveland, Ohio,
and for the underwriters, if any, by Davis Polk & Wardwell, New York, New York.

ITEM 15. INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS
 
     Section 1701.13(E) of the Ohio Revised Code sets forth conditions and
limitations governing the indemnification of officers, directors, and other
persons.
 
     Article 6 of Cardinal's Code of Regulations contains certain
indemnification provisions adopted pursuant to authority contained in Section
1701.13(E) of the Ohio Revised Code. Cardinal's Code of Regulations provides for
the indemnification of its officers, directors, employees, and agents against
all expenses with respect to any judgments, fines, and amounts paid in
settlement, or with respect to any threatened, pending, or completed action,
suit, or proceeding to which they were or are parties or are threatened to be
made parties by reason of acting in such capacities, provided that it is
determined, either by a majority vote of a quorum of disinterested directors of
Cardinal or the shareholders of Cardinal or otherwise as provided in Section
1701.13(E) of the Ohio Revised Code, that (a) they acted in good faith and in a
manner they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interest of
Cardinal; (b) in any action, suit, or proceeding by or in the right of Cardinal,
they were not, and have not been adjudicated to have been, negligent or guilty
of misconduct in the performance of their duties to Cardinal; and (c) with
respect to any criminal action or proceeding, that they had no reasonable cause
to believe that their conduct was unlawful. Section 1701.13(E) provides that to
the extent a director, officer, employee, or agent has been successful on the
merits or otherwise in defense of any such action, suit, or proceeding, he shall
be indemnified against expenses reasonably incurred in connection therewith. At
present there are no material claims, actions, suits, or proceedings pending
where indemnification would be required under these provisions, and Cardinal
does not know of any such threatened material claims, actions, suits, or
proceedings which may result in a request for such indemnification.
 
     Cardinal has entered into indemnification contracts with certain of its
directors and executive officers. These contracts generally: (i) confirm the
existing indemnity provided to them under Cardinal's Code of Regulations and
assure that this indemnity will continue to be provided; (ii) provide that if
Cardinal does not maintain directors' and officers' liability insurance,
Cardinal will, in effect, become a self-insurer of the coverage; and (iii)
provide that, in addition, the directors and officers shall be indemnified to
the fullest extent permitted by law against all expenses (including legal fees),
judgments, fines, and settlement amounts paid or incurred by them in any action
or proceeding, including any action by or in the right of Cardinal, on account
of their service as a director, officer, employee, or agent of another
corporation or enterprise. Coverage under the contracts is excluded: (A) on
account of conduct which is finally adjudged to be knowingly fraudulent,
deliberately dishonest, or willful misconduct; or (B) if a final court of
adjudication shall determine that such
 
                                      II-1
<PAGE>   16
 
indemnification is not lawful; or (C) in respect of any suit in which judgment
is rendered for violations of Section 16(b) of the Securities and Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended, or similar provisions of any federal, state, or local
statutory law; or (D) on account of any remuneration paid which is finally
adjudged to have been in violation of law; or (E) as to officers who are not
directors, with respect to any act or omission which is finally adjudged to have
been a violation, other than in good faith, of Cardinal's Standards of Business
Conduct of which the officer then most recently has received written notice. The
indemnification agreements are applicable to claims asserted after their
effective date, whether arising from acts or omissions occurring before or after
their effective date, and associated legal expenses.

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS
 
     The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
 
          (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made
     of the securities registered hereby, a posteffective amendment to this
     Registration Statement:
 
             (i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the
        Securities Act of 1933;
 
             (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after
        the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent
        post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the
        aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth
        in the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any
        increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total
        dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was
        registered) and any deviation from the low or high and of the estimated
        maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed
        with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the
        changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in
        the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of
        Registration Fee" table in the effective Registration Statement; and
 
             (iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan
        of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement
        or any material change to such information in the Registration
        Statement;
 
     provided, however, that paragraphs (i) and (ii) above do not apply if the
     information required to be included in a posteffective amendment by those
     paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the registrant
     pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of
     1934 that are incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement;
 
                                      II-2
<PAGE>   17
 
          (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
     Securities Act of 1933, each such posteffective amendment shall be deemed
     to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered
     therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed
     to be the initial bona fide offering thereof; and
 
          (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment
     any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the
     termination of the offering.
 
     The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the
registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that is incorporated by reference in the
Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
 
     Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers, and controlling persons of the
registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant
has been advised that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission,
such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is,
therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against
such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred
or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer, or controlling person of the registrant in connection with
the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of
its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a
court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether such indemnification
by it is against the public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed
by the final adjudication of such issue.

                             CARDINAL HEALTH, INC.

                             UNDERWRITING AGREEMENT


                                     [Date]

To the Representative named
         in Schedule I hereto of
         the Underwriters named in
         Schedule II hereto

Dear Sirs:

                 Cardinal Health, Inc., an Ohio corporation (the "Company"),
proposes to sell to underwriters named in Schedule II hereto (the
"Underwriters") for whom you are acting as representative (the
"Representative"), the principal amount of its securities (the "Securities")
identified in Schedule I hereto issued under an indenture (the "Indenture")
dated as of ________, 1997, between the Company and Bank One, Columbus, NA, as
trustee (the "Trustee").  If the firm or firms listed in Schedule II hereto
include only the firm or firms listed in Schedule I hereto, then the terms
"Underwriters" and "Representative", as used herein, shall each be deemed to
refer to such firm or firms.

                 1.  Representations and Warranties.  The Company represents
and warrants to, and agrees with, each Underwriter that:

                 (a)  The Company meets the requirements for use of Form S-3
         under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act") and has filed with the
         Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") a registration
         statement on such Form (the file number of which is set forth in
         Schedule I hereto), which has become effective, for the registration
         under the Act of the Securities.  Such registration statement, as
         amended at the date of this Agreement, meets the requirements set
         forth in Rule 415(a)(1)(x) under the Act and complies in all other
         material respects with said Rule.  The Company proposes to file with
         the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Act a supplement to
         the form of prospectus included in such registration statement
         relating to the Securities and the plan of distribution thereof and
         has previously advised you of all further information (financial and
         other) with respect to the Company to be set forth therein.  Such
         registration statement, including the exhibits thereto, as amended at
         the date of this Agreement, is hereinafter called the "Registration
         Statement"; such prospectus in the form in which it appears in the
         Registration Statement is hereinafter called the "Basic Prospectus";
         and such supplemented form of prospectus, in the form in which it
         shall be filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b)  (including
         the Basic Prospectus as so supplemented) is hereinafter called the
         "Final Prospectus".  Any preliminary form of the Final Prospectus
         which has heretofore been filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) is hereinafter
         called the "Preliminary Final Prospectus".  Any reference herein to
         the Registration Statement, the Basic Prospectus, any
<PAGE>   2
         Preliminary Final Prospectus or the Final Prospectus shall be deemed
         to refer to and include the documents incorporated by reference
         therein (the "Incorporated Documents") pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3
         which were filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the
         "Exchange Act") on or before the date of this Agreement, or the issue
         date of the Basic Prospectus, any Preliminary Final Prospectus or the
         Final Prospectus, as the case may be; and any reference herein to the
         terms "amend", "amendment" or "supplement" with respect to the
         Registration Statement, the Basic Prospectus, any Preliminary Final
         Prospectus or the Final Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and
         include the filing of any document under the Exchange Act after the
         date of this Agreement, or the issue date of the Basic Prospectus, any
         Preliminary Final Prospectus or the Final Prospectus, as the case may
         be, deemed to be incorporated therein by reference.

                 (b)  As of the date hereof, when the Final Prospectus is first
         filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Act, when, prior to the
         Closing Date (as hereinafter defined in Section 3 hereof), any
         amendment to the Registration Statement becomes effective (including
         the filing of any document incorporated by reference in the
         Registration Statement), when any supplement to the Final Prospectus
         is filed with the Commission and at the Closing Date, (i) the
         Registration Statement, as amended as of any such time, and the Final
         Prospectus, as amended or supplemented as of any such time, and the
         Indenture will comply in all material respects with the applicable
         requirements of the Act, the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (the "Trust
         Indenture Act") and the Exchange Act and the respective rules
         thereunder and (ii) neither the Registration Statement, as amended as
         of any such time, nor the Final Prospectus, as amended or supplemented
         as of any such time, will contain any untrue statement of a material
         fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein
         or necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading;
         provided, that the Company makes no representations or warranties as
         to (1) that part of the Registration Statement which constitutes the
         Statement of Eligibility and Qualification of the Trustee (Form T-1)
         under the Trust Indenture Act or (2) the information contained in or
         omitted from the Registration Statement or the Final Prospectus or any
         amendment thereof or supplement thereto in reliance upon and in
         conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by or
         on behalf of any Underwriter through the Representative specifically
         for use in connection with the preparation of the Registration
         Statement or the Final Prospectus.

                 (c)  The Company is a corporation duly organized and validly
         existing in good standing under the laws of the State of Ohio with
         corporate power and authority to own and hold under lease its
         properties and conduct its business as described in the Final
         Prospectus and holds all material licenses and is duly qualified to
         conduct the business in which it is engaged in each jurisdiction or
         place where the conduct of its business requires such licenses or
         qualification and where the failure to be so licensed or qualified
         would have a material adverse effect on the business or financial
         condition of the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole.

                 (d)  Each of the Company's significant subsidiaries (as
         defined in Rule 405 under the Act) is duly organized and validly
         existing in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its
         incorporation with corporate power and authority to own and hold under
         lease its properties and to conduct its business as described in the
         Final Prospectus.

                 (e)  The Indenture has been duly and validly authorized,
         executed and delivered by the Company and, assuming due execution and
         delivery by the Trustee, is a valid and binding agreement of the
         Company, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as
         enforcement thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or other
         similar laws affecting creditors' rights generally and subject to the
         applicability of general principles of equity, and has been duly
         qualified under the Trust Indenture Act.
<PAGE>   3
                 (f)  The Securities have been duly authorized and, when
         executed by the Company and authenticated by the Trustee in accordance
         with the Indenture and delivered to you against payment therefor in
         accordance with the terms hereof, will have been validly issued and
         delivered, and will constitute valid and binding obligations of the
         Company entitled to the benefits of the Indenture and enforceable in
         accordance with their terms, except as enforcement thereof may be
         limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar laws affecting the
         enforcement of creditors' rights generally and subject to the
         applicability of general principles of equity, and the Securities
         conform in all material respects to the description thereof in the
         Final Prospectus.

                 (g)  There are no legal or governmental proceedings pending,
         or to the knowledge of the Company threatened, required to be
         described in the Registration Statement or the Final Prospectus which
         are not described as required, and there is no contract or document of
         a character required to be described in the Registration Statement or
         the Final Prospectus or to be filed as an exhibit to the Registration
         Statement or any Incorporated Document which is not described or filed
         as required.

                 (h)  The Company is not in violation of its charter or code of
         regulations or in default in any material respect in the performance
         of any obligation, agreement or condition contained in any bond,
         debenture, note or any other evidence of indebtedness or in any
         indenture, material lease or loan agreement.  The issue and sale of
         the Securities,  the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the
         performance of the obligations of the Company set forth herein and the
         consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will not conflict
         with or constitute a breach of, or default under, the charter or code
         of regulations of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, any material
         agreement, indenture or other instrument to which the Company or any
         of its subsidiaries is a party or by which any of them or any of their
         property is bound, or any law, administrative regulation or court
         decree applicable to the Company or any of its subsidiaries.

                 (i)  Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement, nor
         the fulfillment of the terms herein set forth and the consummation of
         the transactions herein contemplated require any consent, approval,
         authorization or other order of any court, regulatory body,
         administrative agency or other governmental body (except such as have
         been obtained under the Act and the Trust Indenture Act or such as may
         be required under state securities or Blue Sky laws in connection with
         the purchase and distribution of the Securities by the Underwriters).

                 (j)  This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and
         delivered by the Company.

                 (k)  The Company is not an "investment company" within the
         meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

                 2.       Purchase and Sale.  Subject to the terms and
conditions and in reliance upon the representations and warranties herein set
forth, the Company agrees to sell to each Underwriter, and each Underwriter
agrees, severally and not jointly, to purchase from the Company, at the
purchase price set forth in Schedule I hereto the principal amount of the
Securities set forth opposite such Underwriter's name in Schedule II hereto.

                 3.       Delivery and Payment.  Delivery of and payment for
the Securities shall be made at the location, date and time specified in
Schedule I hereto (or such later date not later than five Business Days (as
hereinafter defined) after such specified date as the Representative and the
Company shall designate), which date and time may be postponed by agreement
between the Representative and the Company or as provided in Section 9 hereof
(such date and time of delivery and payment for the Securities being herein
called the "Closing Date").  Delivery of the Securities shall be made to the
Representative for the respective accounts of the several Underwriters against
payment by the several Underwriters through the Representative of the purchase
price thereof to or upon the order of the Company by same day funds check or
Federal Funds wire
<PAGE>   4
transfer or as otherwise agreed by the Company and the Representative.
Certificates for the Securities shall be registered in such names and in such
denominations as the Representative may request not less than one full Business
Day in advance of the Closing Date.  The term "Business Day" means each day
which is neither a Saturday, Sunday or other day on which banking institutions
in New York, New York are authorized or required by law or executive order to
be closed.

                 The Company agrees to have the Securities available for
inspection, checking and packaging by the Representative in New York, New York,
not later than 4:00 PM on the Business Day prior to the Closing Date.

                 4.       Agreements.  The Company agrees with the several
Underwriters that:

                 (a)  Prior to the later of (i) termination of the offering of
         the Securities as determined by the Representative and as evidenced by
         written notice thereof to the Company from the Representative or (ii)
         the Closing Date, the Company will not file any amendment of the
         Registration Statement or supplement (including the Final Prospectus
         but excluding any prospectus supplement relating to a subsequent
         issuance of securities) to the Basic Prospectus unless the Company has
         furnished the Representative a copy for the Representative's review a
         reasonable time prior to filing thereof.  Subject to the foregoing
         sentence, the Company will cause the Final Prospectus to be filed with
         the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Act.  The Company
         will promptly advise the Representative (i) when the Final Prospectus
         shall have been filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b),
         (ii) when any amendment to the Registration Statement relating to the
         Securities shall have become effective, (iii) of any request by the
         Commission for any amendment of the Registration Statement or
         amendment of or supplement to the Final Prospectus or for any
         additional information, (iv) of the issuance by the Commission of any
         stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement
         or the institution or threatening of any proceeding for that purpose
         and (v) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect
         to the suspension of the qualification of the Securities for sale in
         any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding
         for such purpose.  The Company will use all reasonable efforts to
         prevent the issuance of any such stop order and, if issued, to obtain
         as soon as possible the withdrawal thereof.

                 (b) If, at any time when a prospectus relating to the
         Securities is required to be delivered under the Act, any event occurs
         as a result of which the Final Prospectus as then amended or
         supplemented would include any untrue statement of a material fact or
         omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements
         therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made,
         not misleading, or if it shall be necessary to amend or supplement the
         Final Prospectus to comply with the Act or the Exchange Act or the
         respective rules thereunder, the Company promptly will prepare and
         file with the Commission, subject to the first sentence of paragraph
         (a) of this Section 4, an amendment or supplement which will correct
         such statement or omission or an amendment which will effect such
         compliance.

                 (c)  The Company will make generally available within the
         meaning of Section 11(a) of the Act to its security holders an earning
         statement, which need not be audited, covering a twelve-month period
         commencing after the date of this Agreement and ending not later than
         15 months thereafter as soon as practicable following the end of such
         period, which earning statement shall satisfy the provisions of
         Section 11(a) of the Act and may consist of earning statements
         covering successive fiscal quarters.

                 (d)  The Company will furnish to the Representative and
         counsel for the Underwriters, without charge, copies of the
         Registration Statement (including exhibits thereto) and each amendment
         thereto which shall become effective on or prior to the Closing Date
         and, so long as delivery of a prospectus by an Underwriter or dealer
         may be required by the Act, as many copies of any
<PAGE>   5
         Preliminary Final Prospectus and the Final Prospectus and any
         amendments thereof and supplements thereto as the Representative may
         reasonably request.  The Company will pay the expenses of printing all
         documents relating to the offering unless otherwise agreed with the
         Representative.

                 (e)  The Company will arrange for the qualification of the
         Securities for sale under the laws of such jurisdictions as the
         Representative may reasonably designate and will maintain such
         qualifications in effect so long as required for the distribution of
         the Securities; provided that in no event shall the Company be
         obligated to qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it is
         not now so qualified or to take any action that would subject it to
         the service of process in suits, other than those arising out of the
         offering or sale of the Securities, in any jurisdiction where it is
         not now so subject.

                 (f)  Until the Business Day following the Closing Date, the
         Company will not, without the prior consent of the Representative,
         offer, sell, contract to sell, or otherwise dispose of any debt
         securities of the Company which mature more than one year following
         the Closing Date and which are substantially similar to the
         Securities.

                 5.  Conditions to the Obligations of the Underwriters.  The
obligations of the Underwriters to purchase the Securities shall be subject to
the accuracy in all material respects of the representations and warranties on
the part of the Company contained herein as of the date hereof, as of the date
of the effectiveness of any amendment to the Registration Statement filed prior
to the Closing Date (including the filing of any document incorporated by
reference therein) and as of the Closing Date, to the accuracy of the
statements of the Company made in any certificates delivered pursuant to the
provisions hereof, to the performance by the Company of its obligations
hereunder and to the following additional conditions:

                 (a)  No stop order suspending the effectiveness of the
         Registration Statement, as amended from time to time, shall have been
         issued and no proceedings for that purpose shall have been instituted
         or threatened, and the Final Prospectus shall have been filed with the
         Commission not later than 5:00 P.M., New York City time, on the second
         Business Day following the date hereof.

                 (b)  The Company shall have furnished to the Representative
         the opinion of Baker & Hostetler LLP, counsel to the Company, dated the
         Closing Date, to the effect that:

                          (i)     the Company is a corporation duly
                 incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the
                 laws of the State of Ohio;

                          (ii)     each significant subsidiary of the
                 Company is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing
                 and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of
                 incorporation;

                          (iii)     except for the order of the Commission
                 declaring the Registration Statement effective and the
                 Indenture qualified and for permits and similar authorizations
                 required under the securities or Blue Sky laws of certain
                 jurisdictions (as to which such counsel need not express an
                 opinion), no consent, approval, authorization or other order of
                 any regulatory body, administrative agency or other
                 governmental body is legally required for the valid issuance
                 and sale of the Securities to the Underwriters under this
                 Agreement;

                          (iv)    this Agreement has been duly authorized,

                 authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and,
                 assuming due execution and delivery by the Trustee, is a valid
                 and binding agreement of the Company and has been duly
                 qualified under the Trust Indenture Act;
<PAGE>   6
                          (vi)    the Securities have been duly and validly
                 authorized and executed by the Company and, assuming due
                 authentication of such Securities by the Trustee, upon
                 delivery to the Underwriters against payment therefor in
                 accordance with the terms hereof, will have been validly
                 issued and delivered, and will constitute valid and binding
                 obligations of the Company entitled to the benefits of the
                 Indenture;

                          (vii)    the Registration Statement and all
                 post-effective amendments, if any, have become effective under

                          (viii)   (1) each of the Incorporated Documents
                 complies as to form in all material respects with the Exchange
                 Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder
                 and (2) the Registration Statement and the Final Prospectus and
                 any supplements or amendments thereto (including the
                 Incorporated Documents) comply as to form in all material
                 respects with the Act;

                          (ix)     the statements in the Final Prospectus under
                 the captions "Description of Debt Securities" and [Description
                 of Securities], insofar as such statements constitute a summary
                 of the documents, proceedings and other legal matters referred
                 to therein, fairly present the information called for by the

                 character required to be described in the Registration
                 Statement or the Final Prospectus or to be filed as an exhibit
                 to the Registration Statement which is not described or filed
                 as required; and

                           (xi)    the execution, delivery and performance of
                 this Agreement and the Indenture, compliance by the Company
                 with all provisions hereof and thereof and the consummation of
                 the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby do not
                 conflict with or constitute a breach of any of the terms or
                 provisions of, or a default under, the charter or by-laws of
                 the Company or any of its significant subsidiaries or any
                 material agreement, indenture or other instrument known to
                 such counsel to which the Company or any of its significant
                 subsidiaries is a party or by which any of them is bound, or
                 (assuming compliance with all applicable state securities and
                 Blue Sky laws and without opining as to the enforceability of
                 rights of indemnity or contribution under applicable law)
                 violate any law, administrative regulation or ruling or court
                 decree known to such counsel applicable to the Company or any
                 of its significant subsidiaries or any of their respective
                 property.

                 In rendering the opinion set forth above, Baker & Hostetler LLP
         may (A) rely on the opinion of Davis Polk & Wardwell referred to in
         paragraph (c) below as to all matters of New York law opined upon in
         such opinion of Davis Polk & Wardwell; (B) assume the genuineness,
         without independent investigation, of all signatures on all documents
         examined by such firm, the conformity to original documents of all
         documents submitted to such firm as certified or facsimile copies and
         the authenticity of all such documents; and (C) rely as to matters of
         law of any State other than Ohio upon the opinion of counsel licensed
         to practice in such state and satisfactory to the Representative
<PAGE>   7
         (provided that such opinion shall state that the Representative and
         Baker & Hostetler are entitled to so rely) and as to certain matters
         of fact, upon certificates and written statements of officers and
         employees of, and accountants for, the Company.

                 Such counsel shall have also furnished to the Representative a
         written statement dated the Closing Date to the effect that, based
         upon their participation in the preparation of the Registration
         Statement and the Final Prospectus and any amendments and supplements
         thereto and upon their review and discussion of the contents thereof,
         but without independent check or verification except as specified,
         nothing has come to such counsel's attention which would lead them to
         believe that the Registration Statement at the time it became
         effective and at the date of this Agreement contained any untrue
         statement of any material fact or omitted to state any material fact
         required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
         therein not misleading or that the Final Prospectus (as amended or
         supplemented, if applicable) contains any untrue statement of a
         material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary in order
         to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances
         under which they were made, not misleading.  Such counsel may state
         that, in rendering the opinion in (viii) above and the written
         statement referred to in the preceding sentence, they are not
         expressing any opinion on the financial statements and financial
         exhibits included therein or omitted therefrom and that they are not
         responsible for the adequacy or accuracy of the derivation or
         compilation from the Company's accounting records of the financial
         data included in the Registration Statement or the Final Prospectus
         and any amendments and supplements thereto.

                 (c)  The Representative shall have received from Davis Polk &
         Wardwell, counsel for the Underwriters, such opinion or opinions,
         dated the Closing Date, with respect to the issuance and sale of the
         Securities, the Indenture, the Registration Statement, the Final
         Prospectus and other related matters as the Representative may
         reasonably require, and the Company shall have furnished to such
         counsel such documents as they reasonably request for the purpose of
         enabling them to pass upon such matters.  In rendering their opinion,
         Davis Polk & Wardwell may rely on the opinion of Baker & Hostetler
         referred to in paragraph (b) above as to all matters of Ohio law.

                 (d)  The Company shall have furnished to the Representative a
         certificate of the Company signed by the Chairman of the Board, the
         President or any Vice President of the Company dated the Closing Date,
         to the effect that:

                          (i)    the representations and warranties of the
                 Company in this Agreement are true and correct in all material
                 respects on and as of the Closing Date with the same effect as
                 if made on the Closing Date and the Company has complied in all
                 material respects with all the agreements and satisfied all the
                 conditions on its part to be performed or satisfied at or prior
                 to the Closing Date;

                          (ii)    no stop order suspending the effectiveness of
                 the Registration Statement, as amended, has been issued and no
                 proceedings for that purpose have been instituted or, to the
                 Company's knowledge, threatened; and

                          (iii)   since the date of the most recent financial
                 statements included in the Final Prospectus, there has been no
                 material adverse change in the financial condition, earnings,
                 business or properties of the Company and its subsidiaries on a
                 consolidated basis, whether or not arising from transactions in
                 the ordinary course of business, except as set forth in or
                 contemplated in the Final Prospectus.

                 (e)  At the Closing Date, Deloitte & Touche LLP shall have
         furnished to the Representative a letter or letters (which may refer
         to letters previously delivered to the Representative, a copy of which
         shall be attached, in which case the letter provided at the Closing
         Date shall state that the previous
<PAGE>   8
         letter can be relied on), dated the Closing Date, in form and
         substance satisfactory to the Representative, containing statements
         and information of the type ordinarily included in accountants'
         "comfort letters" to underwriters with respect to the financial
         statements and certain financial information contained in or
         incorporated by reference in the Final Prospectus.

                 (f)      Subsequent to the respective dates as of which
         information is given in the Registration Statement and the Final
         Prospectus and prior to the Closing Date, there shall not have been
         any change, or any development involving a prospective change, in or
         affecting the business or properties of the Company and its
         subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, the effect of which is, in the
         reasonable judgment of the Representative, so material and adverse as
         to make it impractical to proceed with the offering or the delivery of
         the Securities as contemplated by the Registration Statement and the
         Final Prospectus.

                 (g)  Subsequent to the execution of this Agreement and prior
         to the Closing Date, there shall not have been any downgrading in the
         ratings of any of the Company's debt securities, by any "nationally
         recognized statistical rating organization," as such term is defined
         by the Commission for purposes of Rule 436(g)(2) under the Act or any
         public announcement by any such organization that it has under
         surveillance or review with negative implications, its rating of any
         of the Company's debt securities (or proposed rating of the
         Securities).

                 (h)  Prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall have
         furnished to the Representative such further information, certificates
         and documents as the Representative may reasonably request.

                 If any of the conditions specified in this Section 5 shall not
have been fulfilled to the reasonable satisfaction of the Representative when
and as provided in this Agreement, or if any of the opinions and certificates
mentioned above or elsewhere in this Agreement shall not be to the reasonable
satisfaction of the Representative and its counsel, this Agreement and all
obligations of the Underwriters hereunder may be cancelled at, or at any time
prior to, the Closing Date by the Representative.  Notice of such cancellation
shall be given to the Company by telephone or in the manner described in
Section II hereof.

                 6.  Expenses.  (a)  The Company covenants and agrees with the
Representative that the Company will pay or cause to be paid the following:
(i) the fees, disbursements and expenses of the Company's counsel and
accountants in connection with the registration of the Securities under the Act
and all other expenses in connection with the preparation, printing and filing
of the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Final Prospectus and the Final
Prospectus and amendments and supplements thereto and the mailing and delivery
of copies thereof to Underwriters and dealers; (ii) the cost of printing this
Agreement, the Indenture, any blue sky and legal investment memoranda and any
other documents in connection with the offering, purchase, sale and delivery of
the Securities; (iii) all expenses in connection with the qualification of the
Securities for offering and sale under state securities laws, including the
reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for the Representative in
connection with such qualification and in connection with any blue sky and
legal investment surveys; (iv) any fees charged by securities rating services
for rating the Securities; (v) the cost of preparing the Securities; (vi) the
fees and expenses of the Trustee and the fees and disbursements of counsel for
the Trustee in connection with the Indenture and the Securities; and (vii) all
other costs and expenses incident to the performance of its obligations
hereunder which are not otherwise specifically provided for in this Section.
It is understood, however, that, the Representative will pay all of its own
costs and expenses, including the fees of its counsel, transfer taxes on resale
of any of the Securities by it, and any advertising expenses connected with
the Securities.

                 7.  Reimbursement of Underwriters' Expenses.  If the sale of
the Securities provided for herein is not consummated because any condition to
the obligations of the Underwriters set forth in Section 5 hereof is not
satisfied, because of any termination pursuant to Section 10 hereof or because
of any refusal, inability or failure on the part of the Company to perform any
agreement herein or comply with any provision
<PAGE>   9
hereof other than by reason of a default by any of the Underwriters, the
Company will reimburse the Underwriters severally upon demand for all
reasonable and detailed out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable fees and
disbursements of counsel as stated with particularity) that shall have been
incurred by them in connection with the proposed purchase and sale of the
Securities.

                 8. Indemnification and Contribution.  (a)  The Company agrees
to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter and each person who controls
any Underwriter within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act
against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several,
to which they or any of them may become subject, insofar as such losses,
claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or
are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material
fact contained in the Registration Statement for the registration of the
Securities as originally filed or in any amendment thereof, or in the Basic
Prospectus, any Preliminary Final Prospectus or the Final Prospectus, or in any
amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the
omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and
agrees to reimburse each such indemnified party for any legal or other expenses
reasonably incurred by them as such expenses are incurred by them in connection
with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or
action; provided, however, that (i) the Company will not be liable in any such
case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of
or is based upon any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or
omission or alleged omission made therein in reliance upon and in conformity
with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of any
Underwriter through the Representative specifically for use in connection with
the preparation thereof, and (ii) such indemnity with respect to the Basic
Prospectus or any Preliminary Final Prospectus shall not inure to the benefit
of any Underwriter (or any person controlling such Underwriter) from whom the
person asserting any such loss, claim, damage or liability purchased the
securities which are the subject thereof if such person did not receive a copy
of the Final Prospectus (or the Final Prospectus as amended or supplemented)
excluding documents incorporated therein by reference at or prior to the
confirmation of the sale of such Securities to such person in any case where
such delivery is required by the Act and the untrue statement or omission of a
material fact contained in the Basic Prospectus or any Preliminary Final
Prospectus was corrected in the Final Prospectus (or the Final Prospectus as
amended or supplemented); provided that the Company has delivered to the
several Underwriters copies of the Final Prospectus (or the Final Prospectus as
amended or supplemented) in requisite quantities on a timely basis to permit
such delivery.  This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability
which the Company may otherwise have.

                 (b)  Each Underwriter severally agrees to indemnify and hold
harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signs the
Registration Statement, and each person who controls the Company within the
meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act, to the same extent as the
foregoing indemnity from the Company to each Underwriter, but only with
reference to written information relating to such Underwriter furnished to the
Company by or on behalf of such Underwriter through the Representative
specifically for use in the preparation of the documents referred to in the
foregoing indemnity.  This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any
liability which any Underwriter may otherwise have.  The Company acknowledges
that the statements set forth in the last paragraph on the cover page, and
under the heading "Underwriting", in any Preliminary Final Prospectus or Final
Prospectus constitute the only information furnished in writing by or on behalf
of the Underwriters for inclusion in the documents referred to in the foregoing
indemnity and the Representative hereby confirms that such statements are
correct.

                 (c)  Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this
Section 8 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party
will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying
party under this Section 8, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the
commencement thereof, but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party will
not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party
otherwise than under this Section 8.  In case any such action is brought
against any indemnified party, and it notifies the indemnifying party of the
commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate
therein, and to the extent that it may elect by written notice delivered to the
<PAGE>   10
indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such
indemnified party, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to
such indemnified party; provided, however, that if the defendants in any such
action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the
indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal
defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties which are different
from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, the
indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to
assert such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such
action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties.  Upon receipt of notice
from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to
assume the defense of such action and approval by the indemnified party of
counsel, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party
under this Section 8 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by
such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof unless (i) the
indemnified party shall have employed separate counsel in accordance with the
proviso to the next preceding sentence (it being understood, however, that the
indemnifying party shall not, in respect of the legal expenses of any
indemnified party in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in
the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one
separate counsel (in addition to any local counsel), approved by the
Representative in the case of paragraph (a) of this Section 8, representing the
indemnified parties under such paragraph (a) who are parties to such action),
(ii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel satisfactory to the
indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time
after notice of commencement of the action or (iii) the indemnifying party has
authorized the employment of counsel for the indemnified party at the expense
of the indemnifying party; and except that, if clause (i) or (iii) is
applicable, such liability shall be only in respect of the counsel referred to
in such clause (i) or (iii).  The indemnifying party shall not be liable for
any settlement of any such action effected without its written consent, but if
settled with its written consent, or if there be a final judgment for the
plaintiff in any such action, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the
indemnified parties against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement
or judgment.

                 (d)  If the indemnification provided for in this Section 8 is
unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under
subsection (a) or (b) above in respect of any losses, claims, damages or
liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each
indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such
indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities
(or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect
the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the
Underwriters on the other from the offering of the Securities. If, however, the
allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is not permitted by
applicable law or if the indemnified party failed to give the notice required
under subsection (c) above, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to
such amount paid or payable by such indemnified party in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative
fault of the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other in
connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses,
claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), as well as any
other relevant equitable considerations.  The relative benefits received by the
Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other shall be deemed to be
in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering (before
deducting expenses) received by the Company bear to the total underwriting
discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters, in each case as set
forth in the table on the cover page of the Final Prospectus.  The relative
fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the
untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or
alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by
the Company on the one hand or the Underwriters on the other and the parties'
relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or
prevent such statement or omission.  The Company and the Underwriters agree
that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this
subsection (d) were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters
were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of
allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred
to above in this subsection (d).  The amount paid or payable by an indemnified
party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in
respect thereof) referred to above in this subsection (d) shall be deemed to
include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified
party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim.
Notwithstanding the provisions
<PAGE>   11
of this subsection (d), no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any
amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Securities
underwritten by it and distributed to the public were offered to the public
exceeds the amount of any damages which such Underwriter has otherwise been
required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or
omission or alleged omission.  No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation
(within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to
contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent
misrepresentation.  The Underwriters' obligations in this subsection (d) to
contribute are several in proportion to their respective underwriting
obligations and not joint.

                 9.  Default by an Underwriter.  If any one or more
Underwriters shall fail to purchase and pay for any of the Securities agreed to
be purchased by such Underwriter or Underwriters hereunder and such failure to
purchase shall constitute a default in the performance of its or their
obligations under this Agreement, the remaining Underwriters shall be obligated
severally to take up and pay for (in the respective proportions which the
amount of Securities set forth opposite their names in Schedule II hereto bears
to the aggregate principal amount of Securities set forth opposite the names of
all the remaining Underwriters) the Securities which the defaulting Underwriter
or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase; provided, that in the event that
the aggregate principal amount of Securities which the defaulting Underwriter
or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase shall exceed 10% of the aggregate
principal amount of Securities set forth in Schedule II hereto, the remaining
Underwriter or Underwriters shall have the right to purchase all, but shall not
be under any obligation to purchase any, of the Securities, and if such
nondefaulting Underwriters do not purchase all the Securities, this Agreement
will terminate without liability to any nondefaulting Underwriter or the
Company.  In the event of a default by any Underwriter as set forth in this
Section 9, the Closing Date shall be postponed for such period, not exceeding
seven days, as the Representative shall determine in order that the required
changes in the Registration Statement and the Final Prospectus or in any other
documents or arrangements may be effected.  Nothing contained in this Agreement
shall relieve any defaulting Underwriter of its liability, if any, to the
Company and any nondefaulting Underwriter for damages occasioned by its default
hereunder.

                 10.  Termination.  This Agreement shall be subject to
termination in the absolute discretion of the Representative, by notice given
to the Company prior to delivery of and payment for the Securities, if prior to
such time (i) trading in securities generally on the New York Stock Exchange,
American Stock Exchange or The Nasdaq National Market shall have been suspended
or materially limited, (ii) a general moratorium on commercial banking
activities in New York shall have been declared either by Federal or state
authorities or (iii) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of
hostilities or other international or domestic calamity, crisis or change in
political, financial or economic conditions, the effect of which on the
financial markets of the United States is such as to make it, in the judgment
of the Representative, impracticable or inadvisable to market the Securities or
to enforce contracts for the sale of the Securities.

                 11.  Representations and Indemnities to Survive.  The
respective agreements, representations, warranties, indemnities and other
statements of the Company or its officers and of the Underwriters set forth in
or made pursuant to this Agreement will remain in full force and effect,
regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter or the
Company or any of the officers, directors or controlling persons referred to in
Section 8 hereof, and will survive delivery of and payment for the Securities.
The provisions of Sections 6, 7 and 8 hereof shall survive the termination or
cancellation of this Agreement.

                 12.  Notices.  All communications hereunder will be in writing
and effective only on receipt, and, if sent to the Representative, will be
mailed, delivered or telexed and confirmed to it, at the address specified in
Schedule I hereto; or, if sent to the Company, will be mailed, delivered or
telexed and confirmed to it at 5555 Glendon Court, Dublin, Ohio 43016,
Attention:  Chairman.
<PAGE>   12
                 13.  Successors.  This Agreement will inure to the benefit of
and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and the
officers and directors and controlling persons referred to in Section 8 hereof,
and no other person will have any right or obligation hereunder.

                 14.  Applicable Law.  This Agreement will be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

                 If the foregoing is in accordance with your understanding of
our agreement, please sign and return to us the enclosed duplicate hereof,
whereupon this letter and your acceptance shall represent a binding agreement
among the Company and the several Underwriters.


                                           Very truly yours,

            Trustee and issued by the Issuer in the manner and subject to any

            request.

            The Trustee shall have the right to decline to authenticate and
deliver any Securities under this Section if the Trustee, being advised by
counsel, determines that such action may not lawfully be taken by the Issuer or

to personal liability to existing Holders.

Securities of a series or a portion thereof are to be issued in the form of one
or more Global Securities, then the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver one or more Global Securities that (i) shall represent
and shall be denominated in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of
all of the Securities of such series issued in such form and not yet cancelled,
(ii) shall be registered in the name of the Depositary for such Global Security
or Securities or the nominee of such Depositary, (iii) shall be delivered by the
Trustee to such Depositary or its custodian or pursuant to such Depositary's
instructions and (iv) shall bear a legend substantially to the following effect:

signatures of the present or any future such officers. Typographical and other
minor errors or defects in any such reproduction of any such signature shall not
affect the validity or enforceability of any Security that has been duly
authenticated and delivered by the Trustee.

Securities shall cease to be such officer before the Security so signed shall be
authenticated and


                                       12
<PAGE>   20
delivered by the Trustee or disposed of by the Issuer, such Security
nevertheless may be authenticated and delivered or disposed of as though the
person who signed such Security had not ceased to be such officer of the Issuer;
and any Security may be signed on behalf of the Issuer by such persons as, at
the actual date of the execution of such Security, shall be the proper officers
of the Issuer, although at the date of the execution and delivery of this
Indenture any such person was not such an officer.

            SECTION 2.6 Certificate of Authentication. Only such Securities as
shall bear thereon a certificate of authentication substantially in the form
hereinbefore recited, executed by the Trustee by the manual signature of one of
its authorized officers, shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture or
be valid or obligatory for any purpose. Such certificate by the Trustee upon any
Security executed by the Issuer shall be conclusive evidence that the Security
so authenticated has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder and that
the holder is entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.

            SECTION 2.7 Denomination and Date of Securities; Payments of
Interest. The Securities shall be issuable as registered securities without
coupons and in denominations as shall be specified as contemplated by Section

bear interest, if any, from the date and shall be payable on the dates, in each
case, which shall be specified as contemplated by Section 2.3.

            The person in whose name any Security of any series is registered at
the close of business on any record date applicable to a particular series with
respect to any interest payment date for such series shall be entitled to
receive the interest, if any, payable on such interest payment date
notwithstanding any transfer or exchange of such Security subsequent to the
record date and prior to such interest payment date, except if and to the extent
the Issuer shall default in the payment of the interest due on such interest
payment date for such series, in which case


                                       13
<PAGE>   21
such defaulted interest shall be paid to the persons in whose names Outstanding
Securities for such series are registered at the close of business on a
subsequent record date (which shall be not less than five Business Days prior to
the date of payment of such defaulted interest) established by notice given by
mail by or on behalf of the Issuer to the holders of Securities not less than 15
days preceding such subsequent record date. The term "record date" as used with
respect to any interest payment date (except a date for payment of defaulted
interest) shall mean the date specified as such in the terms of the Securities
of any particular series, or, if no such date is so specified, if such interest
payment date is the first day of a calendar month, the fifteenth day of the next
preceding calendar month or, if such interest payment date is the fifteenth day
of a calendar month, the first day of such calendar month, whether or not such
record date is a Business Day.

            SECTION 2.8 Registration, Transfer and Exchange. The Issuer will
keep or cause to be kept at each office or agency to be maintained for the
purpose as provided in Section 3.2 a register or registers in which, subject to
such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, it will register, and will
register the transfer of, Securities as in this Article provided. Such register
shall be in written form in the English language or in any other form capable of
being converted into such form within a reasonable time. At all reasonable times
such register or registers shall be open for inspection by the Trustee.

            Upon due presentation for registration of transfer of any Security
of any series at any such office or agency to be maintained for the purpose as
provided in Section 3.2, the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver in the name of the transferee or transferees a new
Security or Securities of the same series in authorized denominations for a like
aggregate principal amount.

            Any Security or Securities of any series may be exchanged for a
Security or Securities of the same series in other authorized denominations, in
an equal aggregate principal amount. Securities of any series to be exchanged
shall be surrendered at any office or agency to be maintained by the Issuer for
the purpose as provided in Section 3.2, and the Issuer shall execute and the
Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor the Security or
Securities of the same series which the Securityholder making the exchange shall
be entitled to receive, bearing numbers not contemporaneously outstanding.


                                       14
<PAGE>   22
            All Securities presented for registration of transfer, exchange,
redemption or payment shall (if so required by the Issuer or the Trustee) be
duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of
transfer in form satisfactory to the Issuer and the Trustee duly executed by,
the holder or his attorney duly authorized in writing.

            The Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax
or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any exchange
or registration of transfer of Securities. No service charge shall be made for
any such transaction.

            Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.8, unless and
until it is exchanged in whole or in part for Securities in definitive
registered form, a Global Security representing all or a portion of the
Securities of a series may not be transferred except as a whole by the
Depositary for such series to a nominee of such Depositary or by a nominee of
such Depositary to such Depositary or another nominee of such Depositary or by
such Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary for such series or
a nominee of such successor Depositary.

            If at any time the Depositary for any Global Securities of any
series notifies the Issuer that it is unwilling or unable to continue as
Depositary for such Global Securities or if at any time the Depositary for such
Global Securities shall no longer be eligible under applicable law, the Issuer
shall appoint a successor Depositary eligible under applicable law with respect
to such Global Securities. If a successor Depositary eligible under applicable
law for such Global Securities is not appointed by the Issuer within 90 days
after the Issuer receives such notice or becomes aware of such ineligibility,
the Issuer will execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of the Issuer's order for
the authentication and delivery of definitive Securities of such series and
tenor, will authenticate and deliver Securities of such series and tenor, in any
authorized denominations, in an aggregate principal amount equal to the
principal amount of such Global Securities, in exchange for such Global
Securities.

            The Issuer may at any time and in its sole discretion determine that
any Global Securities of any series shall no longer be maintained in global
form. In such event the Issuer will execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of
the Issuer's order for the authentication and delivery of definitive Securities
of such series and tenor, will authenticate and deliver, Securities of such
series and


                                       15
<PAGE>   23
tenor in any authorized denominations, in an aggregate principal amount equal to
the principal amount of such Global Securities, in exchange for such Global
Securities.

            Any time the Securities of any series are not in the form of Global
Securities pursuant to the preceding two paragraphs, the Issuer agrees to supply
the Trustee with a reasonable supply of certificated Securities without the
legend required by Section 2.4 and the Trustee agrees to hold such Securities in
safekeeping until authenticated and delivered pursuant to the terms of this
Indenture.

            If established by the Issuer pursuant to Section 2.3 with respect to
any Global Security, the Depositary for such Global Security may surrender such
Global Security in exchange in whole or in part for Securities of the same
series and tenor in definitive form on such terms as are acceptable to the
Issuer and such Depositary. Thereupon, the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee
shall authenticate and deliver, without service charge,

                  (i) to the Person specified by such Depositary new Securities
            of the same series and tenor, of any authorized denominations as
            requested by such Person, in an aggregate principal amount equal to
            and in exchange for such Person's beneficial interest in the Global
            Security; and

                  (ii) to such Depositary a new Global Security in a
            denomination equal to the difference, if any, between the principal
            amount of the surrendered Global Security and the aggregate
            principal amount of Securities authenticated and delivered pursuant
            to clause (i) above.

            Securities issued in exchange for a Global Security pursuant to this
Section 2.8 shall be registered in such names and in such authorized
denominations as the Depositary for such Global Security, pursuant to
instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, shall
instruct the Trustee or an agent of the Issuer or the Trustee. The Trustee or
such agent shall deliver such Securities to or as directed by the Persons in
whose names such Securities are so registered.

            The Issuer shall not be required to exchange or register a transfer
of (a) any Securities of any series for a period of 15 days next preceding the
first mailing of notice of redemption of Securities of such series to be
redeemed, or (b) any Securities selected, called or being


                                       16
<PAGE>   24
called for redemption except, in the case of any Security where public notice
has been given that such Security is to be redeemed in part, the portion thereof
not so to be redeemed.

            All Securities issued upon any transfer or exchange of Securities
shall be valid obligations of the Issuer, evidencing the same debt, and entitled
to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Securities surrendered upon
such transfer or exchange.

            SECTION 2.9 Mutilated, Defaced, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen
Securities. In case any temporary or definitive Security shall become mutilated,
defaced or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the Issuer in its discretion may
execute, and upon the written request of any officer of the Issuer, the Trustee
shall authenticate and deliver, a new Security of the same series, bearing a
number not contemporaneously outstanding, in exchange and substitution for the
mutilated or defaced Security, or in lieu of and substitution for the Security
so destroyed, lost or stolen. In every case the applicant for a substitute
Security shall furnish to the Issuer and to the Trustee and any agent of the
Issuer or the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to
indemnify and defend and to save each of them harmless and, in every case of
destruction, loss or theft, evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction,
loss or theft of such Security and of the ownership thereof.

            Upon the issuance of any substitute Security, the Issuer may require
the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge
that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the
fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith. In case any Security
which has matured or is about to mature or has been called for redemption in
full shall become mutilated or defaced or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the
Issuer may instead of issuing a substitute Security, pay or authorize the
payment of the same (without surrender thereof except in the case of a mutilated
or defaced Security), if the applicant for such payment shall furnish to the
Issuer and to the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee such
security or indemnity as any of them may require to save each of them harmless,
and, in every case of destruction, loss or theft, the applicant shall also
furnish to the Issuer and the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee
evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of such
Security and of the ownership thereof.


                                       17
<PAGE>   25
            Every substitute Security of any series issued pursuant to the
provisions of this Section by virtue of the fact that any such Security is
destroyed, lost or stolen shall constitute an additional contractual obligation
of the Issuer, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be at
any time enforceable by anyone and shall be entitled to all the benefits of (but
shall be subject to all the limitations of rights set forth in) this Indenture
equally and proportionately with any and all other Securities of such series
duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. All Securities shall be held and
owned upon the express condition that, to the extent permitted by law, the
foregoing provisions are exclusive with respect to the replacement or payment of
mutilated, defaced or destroyed, lost or stolen Securities and shall preclude
any and all other rights or remedies notwithstanding any law or statute existing
or hereafter enacted to the contrary with respect to the replacement or payment
of negotiable instruments or other securities without their surrender.

            SECTION 2.10 Cancellation of Securities; Destruction Thereof. All
Securities surrendered for payment, redemption, registration of transfer or
exchange, or for credit against any payment in respect of a sinking or analogous
fund, if surrendered to the Issuer or any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee,
shall be delivered to the Trustee for cancellation or, if surrendered to the
Trustee, shall be cancelled by it; and no Securities shall be issued in lieu
thereof except as expressly permitted by any of the provisions of this
Indenture. The Trustee shall destroy cancelled Securities held by it and deliver
a certificate of destruction to the Issuer. If the Issuer shall acquire any of
the Securities, such acquisition shall not operate as a redemption or
satisfaction of the indebtedness represented by such Securities unless and until
the same are delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.

            SECTION 2.11 Temporary Securities. Pending the preparation of
definitive Securities for any series, the Issuer may execute and the Trustee
shall authenticate and deliver temporary Securities for such series (printed,
lithographed, typewritten or otherwise reproduced, in each case in form
satisfactory to the Trustee). Temporary Securities of any series shall be
issuable as registered Securities without coupons, of any authorized
denomination, and substantially in the form of the definitive Securities of such
series but with such omissions, insertions and variations as may be appropriate
for temporary Securities, all as may be determined by the Issuer with the
concurrence of the Trustee. Temporary Securities may contain such reference to
any provisions of this Indenture as may be


                                       18
<PAGE>   26
appropriate. Every temporary Security shall be executed by the Issuer and be
authenticated by the Trustee upon the same conditions and in substantially the
same manner, and with like effect, as the definitive Securities. Without
unreasonable delay the Issuer shall execute and shall furnish definitive
Securities of such series and thereupon temporary Securities of such series may
be surrendered in exchange therefor without charge at each office or agency to
be maintained by the Issuer for that purpose pursuant to Section 3.2, and the
Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange for such temporary Securities
of such series a like aggregate principal amount of definitive Securities of the
same series of authorized denominations. Until so exchanged, the temporary
Securities of any series shall be entitled to the same benefits under this
Indenture as definitive Securities of such series.


                                  ARTICLE THREE

                     COVENANTS OF THE ISSUER AND THE TRUSTEE

            SECTION 3.1 Payment of Principal and Interest. The Issuer covenants
and agrees for the benefit of each series of Securities that it will duly and
punctually pay or cause to be paid the principal of, and interest on, each of
the Securities of such series at the place or places, at the respective times
and in the manner provided in such Securities. Unless otherwise specified in
accordance with Section 2.3, each instalment of interest on the Securities of
any series may be paid by mailing checks for such interest payable to or upon
the written order of the holders of Securities entitled thereto as they shall
appear on the registry books of the Issuer.

            SECTION 3.2 Offices for Payments, etc. So long as any of the
Securities remain outstanding, the Issuer will maintain in Columbus, Ohio or in
any other city where the Corporate Trust Office of any successor Trustee may be
located, the following for each series: an office or agency (a) where the
Securities may be presented for payment, (b) where the Securities may be
presented for registration of transfer and for exchange as in this Indenture
provided and (c) where notices and demands to or upon the Issuer in respect of
the Securities or of this Indenture may be served. The Issuer will give to the
Trustee written notice of the location of any such office or agency and of any
change of location thereof. Unless otherwise specified in accordance with
Section 2.3, the Issuer hereby initially designates the Corporate Trust Office
of the Trustee, as the office to be maintained by it for each such purpose. In


                                       19
<PAGE>   27
case the Issuer shall fail to so designate or maintain any such office or agency
or shall fail to give such notice of the location or of any change in the
location thereof, presentations and demands may be made and notices may be
served at the Corporate Trust Office.

            SECTION 3.3 Appointment to Fill a Vacancy in Office of Trustee. The
Issuer, whenever necessary to avoid or fill a vacancy in the office of Trustee,
will appoint, in the manner provided in Section 5.9, a Trustee, so that there
shall at all times be a Trustee with respect to each series of Securities
hereunder.

            SECTION 3.4 Paying Agents. Whenever the Issuer shall appoint a
paying agent other than the Trustee with respect to the Securities of any
series, it will cause such paying agent to execute and deliver to the Trustee an
instrument in which such agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the
provisions of this Section,

            (a) that it will hold all sums received by it as such agent for the
      payment of the principal of or interest on the Securities of such series
      (whether such sums have been paid to it by the Issuer or by any other
      obligor on the Securities of such series) in trust for the benefit of the
      holders of the Securities of such series or of the Trustee,

            (b) that it will give the Trustee notice of any failure by the
      Issuer (or by any other obligor on the Securities of such series) to make
      any payment of the principal of or interest on the Securities of such
      series when the same shall be due and payable, and

            (c) pay any such sums so held in trust by it to the Trustee upon the
      Trustee's written request at any time during the continuance of the
      failure referred to in clause (b) above.

            The Issuer will, on or prior to each due date of the principal of or
interest on the Securities of such series, deposit with the paying agent a sum
sufficient to pay such principal or interest so becoming due, and (unless such
paying agent is the Trustee) the Issuer will promptly notify the Trustee of any
failure to take such action.

            If the Issuer shall act as its own paying agent with respect to the
Securities of any Series, it will, on or before each due date of the principal
of or interest on the Securities of such series, set aside, segregate and hold
in trust for the benefit of the holders of the Securities of


                                       20
<PAGE>   28
such series a sum sufficient to pay such principal or interest so becoming due.
The Issuer will promptly notify the Trustee of any failure to take such action.

            Anything in this Section to the contrary notwithstanding, the Issuer
may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining a satisfaction and discharge with
respect to one or more or all series of Securities hereunder, or for any other
reason, pay or cause to be paid to the Trustee all sums held in trust for any
such series by the Issuer or any paying agent hereunder, as required by this
Section, such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the trusts herein contained.

            Anything in this Section to the contrary notwithstanding, the
agreement to hold sums in trust as provided in this Section is subject to the
provisions of Section 9.3 and 9.4.

            SECTION 3.5 Certificate of the Issuer. The Issuer will furnish to
the Trustee on or before March 31 in each year (beginning with 1994) a brief
certificate (which need not comply with Section 10.5) from the principal
executive, financial or accounting officer of the Issuer as to his or her
knowledge of the Issuer's compliance with all conditions and covenants under
this Indenture (such compliance to be determined without regard to any period of
grace or requirement of notice provided under this Indenture).

            SECTION 3.6 Securityholders' Lists. If and so long as the Trustee
shall not be the Security registrar for the Securities of any series, the Issuer
will furnish or cause to be furnished to the Trustee a list in such form as the
Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of the holders of the
Securities of such series pursuant to Section 312 of the Trust Indenture Act of
1939 (a) semi-annually not more than 15 days after each record date for the
payment of interest on such Securities, as hereinabove specified, as of such
record date and on dates to be determined pursuant to Section 2.3 for
non-interest bearing securities in each year, and (b) at such other times as the
Trustee may request in writing, within thirty days after receipt by the Issuer
of any such request as of a date not more than 15 days prior to the time such
information is furnished.

            SECTION 3.7 Reports by the Issuer. The Issuer covenants to file with
the Trustee, within 15 days after the Issuer is required to file the same with
the Commission, copies of the annual reports and of the information,


                                       21
<PAGE>   29
documents, and other reports which the Issuer may be required to file with the
Commission pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934.

            SECTION 3.8 Reports by the Trustee. Any Trustee's report required
under Section 313(a) of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 shall be transmitted on
or before July 15 in each year following the date hereof, so long as any
Securities are outstanding hereunder, and shall be dated as of a date convenient
to the Trustee no more than 60 nor less than 45 days prior thereto.

            SECTION 3.9 Limitations on Liens. The Issuer will not create or
assume, and will not permit any Consolidated Subsidiary to create or assume, any
Indebtedness for money borrowed which is secured by a mortgage, pledge, security
interest or lien ("liens") of or upon any assets, whether now owned or hereafter
acquired, of the Issuer or any such Consolidated Subsidiary without equally and
ratably securing the Securities by a lien ranking ratably with and equal to (or
at the Issuer's option prior to) such secured Indebtedness. The foregoing
restriction, however, will not apply to:

            (a) liens existing on the date of this Indenture;

            (b) liens on any assets of any corporation existing at the time such
      corporation becomes a Consolidated Subsidiary;

            (c) liens on any assets existing at the time of acquisition of such
      assets by the Issuer or a Consolidated Subsidiary, or liens to secure the
      payment of all or any part of the purchase price of such assets upon the
      acquisition of such assets by the Issuer or a Consolidated Subsidiary or
      to secure any indebtedness incurred or guaranteed by the Issuer or a
      Consolidated Subsidiary prior to, at the time of, or within 360 days after
      such acquisition (or in the case of real property, the completion of
      construction (including any improvements on an existing asset) or
      commencement of full operation of such asset, whichever is later) which
      indebtedness is incurred or guaranteed for the purpose of financing all or
      any part of the purchase price thereof or, in the case of real property,
      construction or improvements thereon; provided, however, that in the case
      of any such acquisition, construction or improvement, the lien shall not
      apply to any assets theretofore owned by the Issuer or a Consolidated
      Subsidiary, other


                                       22
<PAGE>   30
      than, in the case of any such construction or improvement, any real 
      property on which the property so constructed, or the improvement, is
      located;

            (d) liens on any assets to secure indebtedness of a Consolidated
      Subsidiary to the Issuer or to another wholly-owned domestic Subsidiary;

            (e) liens on any assets of a corporation existing at the time such
      corporation is merged into or consolidated with the Issuer or a Subsidiary
      or at the time of a purchase, lease or other acquisition of the assets of
      a corporation or firm as an entirety or substantially as an entirety by
      the Issuer or a Subsidiary;

            (f) liens on any assets of the Issuer or a Consolidated Subsidiary
      in favor of the United States of America or any State thereof, or any
      department, agency or instrumentality or political subdivision of the
      United States of America or any State thereof, or in favor of any other
      country, or any political subdivision thereof, to secure partial,
      progress, advance or other payments pursuant to any contract or statute or
      to secure any indebtedness incurred or guaranteed for the purpose of
      financing all or any part of the purchase price (or, in the case of real
      property, the cost of construction), of the assets subject to such liens
      (including, but not limited to, liens incurred in connection with
      pollution control, industrial revenue or similar financings);

            (g) any extension, renewal or replacement (or successive extensions,
      renewals or replacements) in whole or in part of any lien referred to in
      the foregoing clauses (a) to (f), inclusive; provided, however, that the
      principal amount of indebtedness secured thereby shall not exceed the
      principal amount of indebtedness so secured at the time of such extension,
      renewal or replacement and that such extension, renewal or replacement
      shall be limited to all or a part of the assets which secured the lien so
      extended, renewed or replaced (plus improvements and construction on such
      real property);

            (h) liens imposed by law, such as mechanics', workmen's,
      repairmen's, materialmen's, carriers', warehousemen's, vendors' or other


                                       23
<PAGE>   31
      similar liens arising in the ordinary course of business, or governmental
      (federal, state or municipal) liens arising out of contracts for the sale
      of products or services by the Issuer or any Consolidated Subsidiary, or
      deposits or pledges to obtain the release of any of the foregoing liens;

            (i) pledges, liens or deposits under worker's compensation laws or
      similar legislation and liens or judgments thereunder which are not
      currently dischargeable, or in connection with bids, tenders, contracts
      (other than for the payment of money) or leases to which the Issuer or any
      Consolidated Subsidiary is a party, or to secure public or statutory
      obligations of the Issuer or any Consolidated Subsidiary, or in connection
      with obtaining or maintaining self-insurance or to obtain the benefits of
      any law, regulation or arrangement pertaining to unemployment insurance,
      old age pensions, social security or similar matters, or to secure surety,
      appeal or customs bonds to which the Issuer or any Consolidated Subsidiary
      is a party, or in litigation or other proceedings such as, but not limited
      to, inter-pleader proceedings, and other similar pledges, liens or
      deposits made or incurred in the ordinary course of business;

            (j) liens created by or resulting from any litigation or other
      proceeding which is being contested in good faith by appropriate
      proceedings, including liens arising out of judgments or awards against
      the Issuer or any Consolidated Subsidiary with respect to which the Issuer
      or such Consolidated Subsidiary is in good faith prosecuting an appeal or
      proceedings for review or for which the time to make an appeal has not yet
      expired; or final unappealable judgment liens which are satisfied within
      15 days of the date of judgment; or liens incurred by the Issuer or any
      Consolidated Subsidiary for the purpose of obtaining a stay or discharge
      in the course of any litigation or other proceeding to which the Issuer or
      such Consolidated Subsidiary is a party;

            (k) liens for taxes or assessments or governmental charges or levies
      not yet due or delinquent, or which can thereafter be paid without
      penalty, or which are being contested in good faith by appropriate
      proceedings; landlord's liens on property held under lease; and any other
      liens


                                       24
<PAGE>   32
      or charges incidental to the conduct of the business of the Issuer or any
      Consolidated Subsidiary or the ownership of the assets of any of them
      which were not incurred in connection with the borrowing of money or the
      obtaining of advances or credit and which do not, in the opinion of the
      Issuer, materially impair the use of such assets in the operation of the
      business of the Issuer or such Consolidated Subsidiary or the value of
      such assets for the purposes of such business; or

            (l) liens on any assets of a Financing Subsidiary.

            Notwithstanding the restrictions set forth in the preceding
paragraph, the Issuer or any Consolidated Subsidiary will be permitted to create
or assume any Indebtedness which is secured by a lien without equally and
ratably securing the Securities; provided that at the time of such creation or
assumption, and immediately after giving effect thereto, Exempted Debt does not
exceed 20% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets.

            SECTION 3.10 Limitation on Sale and Lease-Back. The Issuer will not,
nor will it permit any Consolidated Subsidiary to, enter into any sale and
lease-back transaction with respect to any assets, other than any such
transaction involving a lease for a term of not more than three years, unless
either (a) the Issuer or such Consolidated Subsidiary would be entitled to incur
Indebtedness secured by a lien on the assets to be leased, in an amount at least
equal to the Attributable Debt with respect to such sale and lease-back
transaction, without equally and ratably securing the Securities, pursuant to
clauses (a) through (k) inclusive of Section 3.9, or (b) the proceeds of the
sale of the assets to be leased are at least equal to the fair value of such
assets (as determined by the Board of Directors of the Issuer) and the proceeds
are applied to the purchase or acquisition (or, in the case of property, the
construction) of assets or to the retirement (other than at maturity or pursuant
to a mandatory sinking fund or redemption provision) of Senior Funded
Indebtedness. This limitation, however, will not apply if at the time the Issuer
or any Consolidated Subsidiary enters into such sale and lease-back transaction,
and immediately after giving effect thereto, Exempted Debt does not exceed 20%
of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets.

Indebtedness. The Issuer will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary, directly or
indirectly, to create, incur, assume, guarantee, acquire, or become liable,
contingently or otherwise, with respect to, or otherwise become responsible for
payment of (collectively, "incur"), any Indebtedness for money borrowed;
provided, however, that the foregoing limitations will not apply to the
incurrence of any of the following, each of which shall be given independent
effect:

                  (a) Indebtedness outstanding on the date of this Indenture;

                  (b) Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary that represents
            the assumption by such Restricted Subsidiary of Indebtedness of
            another Subsidiary, and Indebtedness owed by any Restricted
            Subsidiary to the Issuer or to another Subsidiary; provided that any
            such Indebtedness shall be at all times held by a Person which is
            either the Issuer or a Subsidiary; and provided, further, that upon
            the transfer or other disposition of any such Indebtedness to a
            Person other than the Issuer or another Subsidiary, the incurrence
            of such Indebtedness shall be deemed to be an incurrence that is not
            permitted by this clause (b);

                  (c) Indebtedness arising from (i) the endorsement of
            negotiable instruments for deposit or collection or similar

            or similar instrument inadvertently (except in the case of daylight
            overdrafts) drawn against insufficient funds in the ordinary course
            of business; provided, however, that such overdraft is extinguished
            within five Business days of incurrence;

                  (d) Indebtedness arising from guarantees of loans and advances
            by third parties to employees and officers of a Restricted
            Subsidiary in the ordinary course of business for bona fide business
            purposes, provided that the aggregate amount of such guarantees by
            all Restricted Subsidiaries does not exceed $1,000,000;

                  (e) Indebtedness incurred by a foreign Restricted Subsidiary
            in the ordinary course of business;

<PAGE>   34
                  (f) Indebtedness of any corporation existing at the time such
            corporation becomes a Restricted Subsidiary or is merged into or
            consolidated with a Restricted Subsidiary or at the time of a
            purchase, lease or other acquisition by a Restricted Subsidiary of
            assets of such corporation as an entirety or substantially as an
            entirety;

                  (g) Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary arising from
            agreements providing for indemnification, adjustment of purchase
            price or similar obligations or from guarantees, letters of credit,
            surety bonds or performance bonds securing any obligations of the
            Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries incurred or assumed in connection
            with the disposition of any business, property or Subsidiary, other
            than guarantees or similar credit support by any Restricted
            Subsidiary of Indebtedness incurred by any Person acquiring all or
            any portion of such business, property or Subsidiary for the purpose
            of financing such acquisition;

                  (h) Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary in respect of
            performance, surety and other similar bonds, bankers' acceptances
            and letters of credit provided by such Subsidiary in the ordinary

            of the purchase price or cost of construction of improvements in
            respect of property or assets acquired by a Person after the date of
            the Indenture and incurred prior to, at the time of, or within 360
            days after, the acquisition of any such property or assets or the
            completion of any such construction or improvements;

                  (j) Indebtedness that is issued, assumed or guaranteed in
            connection with, or with a view to, compliance by a Restricted
            Subsidiary with the requirements of any program adopted by any
            federal, state or local governmental authority and applicable to
            such Restricted Subsidiary and providing financial or tax benefits
            to such Restricted Subsidiary which are not available directly to
            the Issuer;

                  (k) Indebtedness arising from Rate Hedging Obligations
            incurred to limit risks of currency or interest rate fluctuations to
            which a Subsidiary is otherwise subject by virtue of the operations
            of its business, and not for speculative purposes;

                  (l) Indebtedness incurred by any Financing Subsidiary; and

                  (m) Indebtedness incurred in connection with or given in

            defeasance, refinancing or replacement of any Indebtedness described
            in clauses 9(a), (b), (f), (g)and (i) above ("Refinancing
            Indebtedness"); provided that (i) the principal amount of such
            Refinancing Indebtedness shall not exceed the principal amount of
            the Indebtedness so renewed, extended, substituted, refunded,
            defeased, refinanced or replaced (plus the premiums paid in
            connection therewith (which shall not exceed the stated amount of
            any premium or other payment required to be paid in connection with
            such a refinancing pursuant to the terms of the Indebtedness being
            renewed, extended, substituted, refunded, defeased, refinanced or
            replaced) and the expenses incurred in connection therewith); (ii)
            the Refinancing Indebtedness shall have a weighted average life to
            maturity equal to or greater than the weighted average life to
            maturity of the Indebtedness being renewed, extended, substituted,
            refunded, defeased, refinanced or replaced; and (iii) the
            Refinancing Indebtedness shall rank no more senior, and shall be at
            least as subordinated, in right of payment as the Indebtedness being

            replaced.

            Notwithstanding the foregoing restrictions, Restricted Subsidiaries
will be permitted to incur any Indebtedness for money borrowed that would
otherwise be subject to the foregoing restrictions in an aggregate principal
amount which, together with the aggregate principal amount of other such
Indebtedness for money borrowed that is incurred by Restricted Subsidiaries (not
including Indebtedness permitted pursuant to the foregoing paragraphs (a)
through (m)), does not, at the time such Indebtedness is incurred, exceed 20% of

                                  ARTICLE FOUR

                   REMEDIES OF THE TRUSTEE AND SECURITYHOLDERS
                               ON EVENT OF DEFAULT

            SECTION 4.1 Event of Default Defined; Acceleration of Maturity;
Waiver of Default. "Event of Default" with respect to Securities of any series
wherever used herein, means each one of the following events which shall have
occurred and be continuing (whatever the reason for such Event of Default and
whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law
or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or
regulation of any administrative or governmental body):

            (a) default in the payment of any instalment of interest upon any of
      the Securities of such series as and when the same shall become due and
      payable, and continuance of such default for a period of 30 days; or

            (b) default in the payment of all or any part of the principal, or
      premium, if any, on any of the Securities of such series as and when the
      same shall become due and payable either at maturity, upon redemption, by
      declaration or otherwise; or

            (c) default in the payment of any sinking fund instalment as and
      when the same shall become due and payable by the terms of the Securities
      of such series; or

            (d) failure on the part of the Issuer duly to observe or perform any
      other of the covenants or agreements of the Issuer in respect of the
      Securities of such series (other than a covenant or warranty in respect of
      the Securities of such series a default in whose performance or whose
      breach is elsewhere in this Section specifically dealt with) for a period
      of 90 days after the date on which written notice specifying such failure,
      stating that such notice is a "Notice of Default" hereunder and demanding
      that the Issuer remedy the same, has been given by registered or certified
      mail, return receipt requested, to the Issuer by the Trustee, or to the
      Issuer and the Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate
      principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of all series affected
      thereby; or

            (e)  a court having jurisdiction in the premises
      shall enter a decree or order for relief in respect of


                                       29

<PAGE>   37
      the Issuer in an involuntary case under any applicable bankruptcy,
      insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, or appointing
      a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee or sequestrator (or
      similar official) of the Issuer or for any substantial part of its
      property or ordering the winding up or liquidation of its affairs, and
      such decree or order shall remain unstayed and in effect for a period of
      60 consecutive days; or

            (f) the Issuer shall commence a voluntary case under any applicable
      bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, or
      consent to the entry of an order for relief in an involuntary case under
      any such law, or consent to the appointment of or taking possession by a
      receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee or sequestrator (or
      similar official) of the Issuer or for any substantial part of its
      property, or make any general assignment for the benefit of creditors; or

            (g) any other Event of Default provided in the supplemental
      indenture or resolution of the Board of Directors under which such series
      of Securities is issued or in the form of Security for such series.

If an Event of Default described in clauses (a), (b), (c), (d) or (g) above (if
the Event of Default under clause (d) or (g) is with respect to less than all
series of Securities then Outstanding) occurs and is continuing, then, and in
each and every such case, unless the principal of all of the Securities of such
series shall have already become due and payable, either the Trustee or the
holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of
such series then Outstanding hereunder (each such series voting as a separate
class) by notice in writing to the Issuer (and to the Trustee if given by
Securityholders), may declare the entire principal (or, if the Securities of
such series are Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the
principal amount as may be specified in the terms of such series) of all
Securities of such series and the interest accrued thereon, if any, to be due
and payable immediately, and upon any such declaration the same shall become
immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default described in clause (d) or
(g) (if the Event of Default under clause (d) or (g), as the case may be, is
with respect to all series of Securities then Outstanding) or (e) or (f) occurs
and is continuing, then and in each and every such case, unless the principal of
all the Securities shall have already become due and payable, either the Trustee
or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of all the


                                       30

<PAGE>   38
Securities then Outstanding hereunder (treated as one class), by notice in
writing to the Issuer (and to the Trustee if given by Securityholders), may
declare the entire principal (or, if any Securities are Original Issue Discount
Securities, such portion of the principal as may be specified in the terms
thereof) of all the Securities then outstanding and interest accrued thereon, if
any, to be due and payable immediately, and upon any such declaration the same
shall become immediately due and payable.

            The foregoing provisions, however, are subject to the condition that
if, at any time after the principal (or, if the Securities are Original Issue
Discount Securities, such portion of the principal as may be specified in the
terms thereof) of the Securities of any series (or of all the Securities, as the
case may be) shall have been so declared due and payable, and before any
judgment or decree for the payment of the moneys due shall have been obtained or
entered as hereinafter provided, the Issuer shall pay or shall deposit with the
Trustee a sum sufficient to pay all matured installments of interest upon all
the Securities of such series (or of all the Securities, as the case may be) and
the principal of any and all Securities of such series (or of all the
Securities, as the case may be) which shall have become due otherwise than by
acceleration (with interest upon such principal and, to the extent that payment
of such interest is enforceable under applicable law, on overdue installments of
interest, at the same rate as the rate of interest or Yield to Maturity (in the
case of Original Issue Discount Securities) specified in the Securities of such
series (or at the respective rates of interest or Yields to Maturity of all the
Securities, as the case may be) to the date of such payment or deposit) and such
amount as shall be sufficient to cover reasonable compensation to the Trustee,
its agents, attorneys and counsel, and all other expenses and liabilities
incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee except as a result of negligence
or bad faith, and if any and all Events of Default under the Indenture, other
than the non-payment of the principal of Securities which shall have become due
by acceleration, shall have been cured, waived or otherwise remedied as provided
herein--then and in every such case the holders of a majority in aggregate
principal amount of all the Securities of such series, each series voting as a
separate class (or of all the Securities, as the case may be, voting as a single
class), then outstanding, by written notice to the Issuer and to the Trustee,
may waive all defaults with respect to such series (or with respect to all the
Securities, as the case may be) and rescind and annul such declaration and its
consequences, but no such waiver or rescission and annulment shall extend to or
shall affect any


                                       31

<PAGE>   39
subsequent default or shall impair any right consequent thereon.

            For all purposes under this Indenture, if a portion of the principal
of any Original Issue Discount Securities shall have been accelerated and
declared due and payable pursuant to the provisions hereof, then, from and after
such declaration, unless such declaration has been rescinded and annulled, the
principal amount of such Original Issue Discount Securities shall be deemed, for
all purposes hereunder, to be such portion of the principal thereof as shall be
due and payable as a result of such acceleration, and payment of such portion of
the principal thereof as shall be due and payable as a result of such
acceleration, together with interest, if any, thereon and all other amounts
owing thereunder, shall constitute payment in full of such Original Issue
Discount Securities.

            SECTION 4.2 Collection of Indebtedness by Trustee; Trustee May Prove
Debt. The Issuer covenants that (a) in case default shall be made in the payment
of any instalment of interest on any of the Securities of any series when such
interest shall have become due and payable, and such default shall have
continued for a period of 30 days or (b) in case default shall be made in the
payment of all or any part of the principal of any of the Securities of any
series when the same shall have become due and payable, whether upon maturity of
the Securities of such series or upon any redemption or by declaration or
otherwise--then upon demand of the Trustee, the Issuer will pay to the Trustee
for the benefit of the Holders of the Securities of such series the whole amount
that then shall have become due and payable on all Securities of such series for
principal or interest, as the case may be (with interest to the date of such
payment upon the overdue principal and, to the extent that payment of such
interest is enforceable under applicable law, on overdue installments of
interest at the same rate as the rate of interest or Yield to Maturity (in the
case of Original Issue Discount Securities) specified in the Securities of such
series); and in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to
cover the costs and expenses of collection, including reasonable compensation to
the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee, their respective agents, attorneys and
counsel, and any expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by
the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee except as a result of its negligence or
bad faith.

            Until such demand is made by the Trustee, the Issuer may pay the
principal of and interest on the Securities of any series to the registered
holders, whether


                                       32
<PAGE>   40
or not the principal of and interest on the Securities of such series be
overdue.

            In case the Issuer shall fail forthwith to pay such amounts upon
such demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust,
shall be entitled and empowered to institute any action or proceedings at law or
in equity for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, and may prosecute
any such action or proceedings to judgment or final decree, and may enforce any
such judgment or final decree against the Issuer or other obligor upon such
Securities and collect in the manner provided by law out of the property of the
Issuer or other obligor upon such Securities, wherever situated, the moneys
adjudged or decreed to be payable.

            In case there shall be pending proceedings relative to the Issuer or
any other obligor upon the Securities under Title 11 of the United States Code
or any other applicable Federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar
law, or in case a receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization,
liquidator, sequestrator or similar official shall have been appointed for or
taken possession of the Issuer or its property or such other obligor, or in case
of any other comparable judicial proceedings relative to the Issuer or other
obligor upon the Securities of any series, or to the creditors or property of
the Issuer or such other obligor, the Trustee, irrespective of whether the
principal of any Securities shall then be due and payable as therein expressed
or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee shall
have made any demand pursuant to the provisions of this Section, shall be
entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceedings or otherwise:

            (a) to file and prove a claim or claims for the whole amount of
      principal and interest (or, if the Securities of any series are Original
      Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the principal amount as may be
      specified in the terms of such series) owing and unpaid in respect of the
      Securities of any series, and to file such other papers or documents as
      may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee
      (including any claim for reasonable compensation to the Trustee and each
      predecessor Trustee, and their respective agents, attorneys and counsel,
      and for reimbursement of all expenses and liabilities incurred, and all
      advances made, by the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee, except as a
      result of negligence or bad faith) and of the Securityholders allowed in
      any judicial proceedings


                                       33

<PAGE>   41
      relative to the Issuer or other obligor upon the Securities of any series,
      or to the creditors or property of the Issuer or such other obligor,

            (b) unless prohibited by applicable law and regulations, to vote on
      behalf of the holders of the Securities of any series in any election of a
      trustee or a standby trustee in arrangement, reorganization, liquidation
      or other bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings or person performing similar
      functions in comparable proceedings, and

            (c) to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or
      deliverable on any such claims, and to distribute all amounts received
      with respect to the claims of the Securityholders and of the Trustee on
      their behalf; and any trustee, receiver, or liquidator, custodian or other
      similar official is hereby authorized by each of the Securityholders to
      make payments to the Trustee, and, in the event that the Trustee shall
      consent to the making of payments directly to the Securityholders, to pay
      to the Trustee such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover reasonable
      compensation to the Trustee, each predecessor Trustee and their respective
      agents, attorneys and counsel, and all other expenses and liabilities
      incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and each predecessor
      Trustee except as a result of negligence or bad faith and all other
      amounts due to the Trustee or any predecessor Trustee pursuant to Section
      5.6.

            Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to
authorize or consent to or vote for or accept or adopt on behalf of any
Securityholder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or
composition affecting the Securities of any series or the rights of any Holder
thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any
Securityholder in any such proceeding except, as aforesaid, to vote for the
election of a trustee in bankruptcy or similar person.

            All rights of action and of asserting claims under this Indenture,
or under any of the Securities, may be enforced by the Trustee without the
possession of any of the Securities or the production thereof on any trial or
other proceedings relative thereto, and any such action or proceedings
instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an
express trust, and any recovery of judgment, subject to the payment of the
expenses, disbursements and compensation of the Trustee, each predecessor
Trustee and their respective agents and


                                   34

<PAGE>   42
attorneys, shall be for the ratable benefit of the holders of the Securities in
respect of which such action was taken.

            In any proceedings brought by the Trustee (and also any proceedings
involving the interpretation of any provision of this Indenture to which the
Trustee shall be a party) the Trustee shall be held to represent all the holders
of the Securities in respect to which such action was taken, and it shall not be
necessary to make any holders of such Securities parties to any such
proceedings.

            SECTION 4.3 Application of Proceeds. Any moneys collected by the
Trustee pursuant to this Article in respect of any series shall be applied in
the following order at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee and, in case of
the distribution of such moneys on account of principal or interest, upon
presentation of the several Securities in respect of which monies have been
collected and stamping (or otherwise noting) thereon the payment, or issuing
Securities of such series in reduced principal amounts in exchange for the
presented Securities of like series if only partially paid, or upon surrender
thereof if fully paid:

            FIRST: To the payment of costs and expenses applicable to such
      series in respect of which monies have been collected, including
      reasonable compensation to the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee and
      their respective agents and attorneys and of all expenses and liabilities
      incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and each predecessor
      Trustee except as a result of negligence or bad faith, and all other
      amounts due to the Trustee or any predecessor Trustee pursuant to Section
      5.6;

            SECOND: In case the principal of the Securities of such series in
      respect of which moneys have been collected shall not have become and be
      then due and payable, to the payment of interest on the Securities of such
      series in default in the order of the maturity of the installments of such
      interest, with interest (to the extent that such interest has been
      collected by the Trustee) upon the overdue installments of interest at the
      same rate as the rate of interest or Yield to Maturity (in the case of
      Original Issue Discount Securities) specified in such Securities, such
      payments to be made ratably to the persons entitled thereto, without
      discrimination or preference;

            THIRD: In case the principal of the Securities of such series in
      respect of which moneys have been collected shall have become and shall be
      then due and


                                       35

<PAGE>   43
      payable, to the payment of the whole amount then owing and unpaid upon all
      the Securities of such series for principal and interest, with interest
      upon the overdue principal, and (to the extent that such interest has been
      collected by the Trustee) upon overdue installments of interest at the
      same rate as the rate of interest or Yield to Maturity (in the case of
      Original Issue Discount Securities) specified in the Securities of such
      series; and in case such moneys shall be insufficient to pay in full the
      whole amount so due and unpaid upon the Securities of such series, then to
      the payment of such principal and interest or yield to maturity, without
      preference or priority of principal over interest or yield to maturity, or
      of interest or yield to maturity over principal, or of any instalment of
      interest over any other instalment of interest, or of any Security of such
      series over any other Security of such series, ratably to the aggregate of
      such principal and accrued and unpaid interest or yield to maturity; and

            FOURTH: To the payment of the remainder, if any, to the Issuer or
      any other person lawfully entitled thereto.

            SECTION 4.4 Suits for Enforcement. In case an Event of Default has
occurred, has not been waived and is continuing, the Trustee may in its
discretion proceed to protect and enforce the rights vested in it by this
Indenture by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem
most effectual to protect and enforce any of such rights, either at law or in
equity or in bankruptcy or otherwise, whether for the specific enforcement of
any covenant or agreement contained in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise
of any power granted in this Indenture or to enforce any other legal or
equitable right vested in the Trustee by this Indenture or by law.

            SECTION 4.5 Restoration of Rights on Abandonment of Proceedings. In
case the Trustee shall have proceeded to enforce any right under this Indenture
and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason,
or shall have been determined adversely to the Trustee, then and in every such
case the Issuer and the Trustee shall be restored respectively to their former
positions and rights hereunder, and all rights, remedies and powers of the
Issuer, the Trustee and the Securityholders shall continue as though no such
proceedings had been taken.

            SECTION 4.6 Limitations on Suits by Securityholders. No holder of
any Security of any series shall have


                                       36

<PAGE>   44
any right by virtue or by availing of any provision of this Indenture to
institute any action or proceeding at law or in equity or in bankruptcy or
otherwise upon or under or with respect to this Indenture, or for the
appointment of a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or other similar
official or for any other remedy hereunder, unless such holder previously shall
have given to the Trustee written notice of default and of the continuance
thereof, as herein-before provided, and unless also the holders of not less than
25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of such series then
outstanding shall have made written request upon the Trustee to institute such
action or proceedings in its own name as trustee hereunder and shall have
offered to the Trustee such reasonable indemnity as it may require against the
costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby and the
Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of
indemnity shall have failed to institute any such action or proceeding and no
direction inconsistent with such written request shall have been given to the
Trustee pursuant to Section 4.9; it being understood and intended, and being
expressly covenanted by the taker and Holder of every Security with every other
taker and Holder and the Trustee, that no one or more Holders of Securities of
any series shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue or by availing
of any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of
any other such Holder of Securities, or to obtain or seek to obtain priority
over or preference to any other such Holder or to enforce any right under this
Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal, ratable and
common benefit of all Holders of Securities of the applicable series. For the
protection and enforcement of the provisions of this Section, each and every
Securityholder and the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given
either at law or in equity.

            SECTION 4.7 Unconditional Right of Securityholders to Institute
Certain Suits. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture and any
provision of any Security, the right of any Holder of any Security to receive
payment of the principal of and interest on such Security on or after the
respective due dates expressed in such Security, or to institute suit for the
enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be
impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder.

            SECTION 4.8 Powers and Remedies Cumulative; Delay or Omission Not
Waiver of Default. Except as provided in Section 4.6, no right or remedy herein
conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Securityholders is intended
to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every


                                       37

<PAGE>   45
right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in
addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter
existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any
right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent
assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

            No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Securityholder to
exercise any right or power accruing upon any Event of Default occurring and
continuing as aforesaid shall impair any such right or power or shall be
construed to be a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence
therein; and, subject to Section 4.6, every power and remedy given by this
Indenture or by law to the Trustee or to the Securityholders may be exercised
from time to time, and as often as shall be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or
by the Securityholders.

            SECTION 4.9 Control by Securityholders. The Holders of a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the Securities of each series affected (with each
series voting as a separate class) at the time outstanding shall have the right
to direct the time, method, and place of conducting any proceeding for any
remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on
the Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series by this Indenture;
provided that such direction shall not be otherwise than in accordance with law
and the provisions of this Indenture and provided further that (subject to the
provisions of Section 5.1) the Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow
any such direction if the Trustee, being advised by counsel, shall determine
that the action or proceeding so directed may not lawfully be taken or if the
Trustee in good faith by its board of directors, the executive committee, or a
trust committee of directors or responsible officers of the Trustee shall
determine that the action or proceedings so directed would involve the Trustee
in personal liability or if the Trustee in good faith shall so determine that
the actions or forbearances specified in or pursuant to such direction would be
unduly prejudicial to the interests of Holders of the Securities of all series
so affected not joining in the giving of said direction, it being understood
that (subject to Section 5.1) the Trustee shall have no duty to ascertain
whether or not such actions or forbearances are unduly prejudicial to such
Holders.

            Nothing in this Indenture shall impair the right of the Trustee in
its discretion to take any action deemed proper by the Trustee and which is not
inconsistent with such direction or directions by Securityholders.


                                       38

<PAGE>   46
            SECTION 4.10 Waiver of Past Defaults. Prior to a declaration of the
acceleration of the maturity of the Securities of any series as provided in
Section 4.1, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
Securities of such series at the time Outstanding (each such series voting as a
separate class) may on behalf of the Holders of all the Securities of such
series waive any past default or Event of Default described in clause (d) or (g)
of Section 4.1 which relates to less than all series of Securities then
Outstanding, except a default in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which
cannot be modified or amended without the consent of each Holder affected as
provided in Section 7.2. Prior to a declaration of acceleration of the maturity
of the Securities of any series as provided in Section 4.1, the Holders of
Securities of a majority in principal amount of all the Securities then
Outstanding (voting as one class) may on behalf of all Holders waive any past
default or Event of Default referred to in said clause (d) or (g) which relates
to all series of Securities then Outstanding, or described in clause (e) or (f)
of Section 4.1, except a default in respect of a covenant or provision hereof
which cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each
Security affected as provided in Section 7.2. In the case of any such waiver,
the Issuer, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities of each series
affected shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder,
respectively.

            Upon any such waiver, such default shall cease to exist and be
deemed to have been cured and not to have occurred, and any Event of Default
arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, and not to have occurred
for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any
subsequent or other default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent
thereon.

            SECTION 4.11 Trustee to Give Notice of Default, But May Withhold in
Certain Circumstances. The Trustee shall give to the Securityholders of any
series, as the names and addresses of such Holders appear on the registry books,
notice by mail of all defaults known to the Trustee which have occurred with
respect to such series, such notice to be transmitted within 90 days after the
occurrence thereof, unless such defaults shall have been cured before the giving
of such notice (the term "default" or "defaults" for the purposes of this
Section and Section 5.2(h) being hereby defined to mean any event or condition
which is, or with notice or lapse of time or both would become, an Event of
Default); provided that, except in the case of default in the payment of the
principal of or interest on any of the Securities of such series, or in the
payment of any sinking


                                       39

<PAGE>   47
or purchase fund installment with respect to the Securities of such series, the
Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if and so long as the
board of directors, the executive committee, or a trust committee of directors
or trustees and/or responsible officers of the Trustee in good faith determines
that the withholding of such notice is in the interests of the Securityholders
of such series.

            SECTION 4.12 Right of Court to Require Filing of Undertaking to Pay
Costs. All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Security by
his acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its
discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under
this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken, suffered
or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an
undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its
discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees,
against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and
good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the
provisions of this Section shall not apply to any suit instituted by the
Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Securityholder or group of
Securityholders of any series holding in the aggregate more than 10% in
aggregate principal amount of the Securities of such series, or, in the case of
any suit relating to or arising under clauses (d) or (g) of Section 4.1 (if the
suit relates to Securities of more than one but less than all series), 10% in
aggregate principal amount of Securities Outstanding affected thereby, or in the
case of any suit relating to or arising under clauses (d) or (g) (if the suit
relates to all the Securities then Outstanding), (e) or (f) of Section 4.1, 10%
in aggregate principal amount of all Securities Outstanding, or to any suit
instituted by any Securityholder for the enforcement of the payment of the
principal of or interest on any Security on or after the due date expressed in
such Security.


                                  ARTICLE FIVE

                             CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE

            SECTION 5.1 Duties and Responsibilities of the Trustee; During
Default; Prior to Default. With respect to the Holders of any series of
Securities issued hereunder, the Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of
Default with respect to the Securities of a particular series and after the
curing or waiving of all Events of Default which


                                       40

<PAGE>   48
may have occurred with respect to such series, undertakes to perform such duties
and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture. In case an
Event of Default with respect to the Securities of a series has occurred (which
has not been cured or waived) the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and
powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill
in their exercise, as a prudent man would exercise or use under the
circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs.

            No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the
Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure
to act or its own wilful misconduct, except that

            (a) prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to
      the Securities of any series and after the curing or waiving of all such
      Events of Default with respect to such series which may have occurred:

                  (i) the duties and obligations of the Trustee with respect to
            the Securities of any Series shall be determined solely by the
            express provisions of this Indenture, and the Trustee shall not be
            liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations as
            are specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no implied
            covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against
            the Trustee; and

                  (ii) in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee,
            the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements
            and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any
            statements, certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and
            conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; but in the case of
            any such statements, certificates or opinions which by any provision
            hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the
            Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine
            whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture;

            (b) the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made
      in good faith by a Responsible Officer or Responsible Officers of the
      Trustee, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was negligent in
      ascertaining the pertinent facts; and


                                       41

<PAGE>   49
            (c) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken
      or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the
      direction of the holders pursuant to Section 4.9 relating to the time,
      method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to
      the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee,
      under this Indenture.

            None of the provisions contained in this Indenture shall require the
Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur personal financial
liability in the performance of any of its duties or in the exercise of any of
its rights or powers, if there shall be reasonable ground for believing that the
repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such liability is not
reasonably assured to it.

            The provisions of this Section 5.1 are in furtherance of and subject
to Sections 315 and 316 of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939.

            SECTION 5.2 Certain Rights of the Trustee. In furtherance of and
subject to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, and subject to Section 5.1:

            (a) the Trustee may rely and shall be protected in acting or
      refraining from acting upon any resolution, Officers' Certificate or any
      other certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice,
      request, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, coupon, security or other
      paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or
      presented by the proper party or parties;

            (b) any request, direction, order or demand of the Issuer mentioned
      herein shall be sufficiently evidenced by an Officers' Certificate (unless
      other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed); and
      any resolution of the Board of Directors may be evidenced to the Trustee
      by a copy thereof certified by the secretary or an assistant secretary of
      the Issuer;

            (c) the Trustee may consult with counsel and any advice or Opinion
      of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in
      respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it
      hereunder in good faith and in accordance with such advice or Opinion of
      Counsel;


                                   42

<PAGE>   50
            (d) the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the
      trusts or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request, order or
      direction of any of the Securityholders pursuant to the provisions of this
      Indenture, unless such Securityholders shall have offered to the Trustee
      reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and
      liabilities which might be incurred therein or thereby;

            (e) the Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted
      by it in good faith and believed by it to be authorized or within the
      discretion, rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture;

            (f) prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder and
      after the curing or waiving of all Events of Default, the Trustee shall
      not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in
      any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report,
      notice, request, consent, order, approval, appraisal, bond, debenture,
      note, coupon, security, or other paper or document unless requested in
      writing so to do by the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate
      principal amount of the Securities of all series affected then
      outstanding; provided that, if the payment within a reasonable time to the
      Trustee of the costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred by it
      in the making of such investigation is, in the opinion of the Trustee, not
      reasonably assured to the Trustee by the security afforded to it by the
      terms of this Indenture, the Trustee may require reasonable indemnity
      against such expenses or liabilities as a condition to proceeding; the
      reasonable expenses of every such investigation shall be paid by the
      Issuer or, if paid by the Trustee or any predecessor trustee, shall be
      repaid by the Issuer upon demand;

            (g) the Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or
      perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or
      attorneys not regularly in its employ and the Trustee shall not be
      responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any such agent
      or attorney appointed with due care by it hereunder; and

            (h) except for the defaults set forth in Section 4.1(a), (b) and
      (c), the Trustee will not have knowledge of a default unless notified
      thereof.


                                       43

<PAGE>   51
            SECTION 5.3 Trustee Not Responsible for Recitals, Disposition of
Securities or Application of Proceeds Thereof. The recitals contained herein and
in the Securities, except the Trustee's certificates of authentication, shall be
taken as the statements of the Issuer, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility
for the correctness of the same. The Trustee makes no representation as to the
validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Securities. The Trustee
shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Issuer of any of the
Securities or of the proceeds thereof.

            SECTION 5.4 Trustee and Agents May Hold Securities; Collections,
etc. The Trustee or any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee, in its individual or
any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities with the same
rights it would have if it were not the Trustee or such agent and may otherwise
deal with the Issuer and receive, collect, hold and retain collections from the
Issuer with the same rights it would have if it were not the Trustee or such
agent.

            SECTION 5.5 Moneys Held by Trustee. Subject to the provisions of
Section 9.4 hereof, all moneys received by the Trustee shall, until used or
applied as herein provided, be held in trust for the purposes for which they
were received, but need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent
required by mandatory provisions of law. Neither the Trustee nor any agent of
the Issuer or the Trustee shall be under any liability for interest on any
moneys received by it hereunder.

            SECTION 5.6 Compensation and Indemnification of Trustee and Its
Prior Claim. The Issuer covenants and agrees to pay to the Trustee from time to
time, and the Trustee shall be entitled to, reasonable compensation (which shall
not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a
trustee of an express trust) and the Issuer covenants and agrees to pay or
reimburse the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee upon its request for all
reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by or on behalf
of it in accordance with any of the provisions of this Indenture (including the
reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its counsel and of
all agents and other persons not regularly in its employ) except to the extent
any such expense, disbursement or advance may arise from its negligence or bad
faith. The Issuer also covenants to indemnify the Trustee and each predecessor
Trustee for, and to hold it harmless against, any loss, liability or expense
arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this
Indenture


                                       44

<PAGE>   52
or the trusts hereunder and the performance of its duties hereunder, including
the costs and expenses of defending itself against or investigating any claim of
liability in the premises, except to the extent such loss, liability or expense
is due to the negligence or bad faith of the Trustee or such predecessor
Trustee. The obligations of the Issuer under this Section to compensate and
indemnify the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee and to pay or reimburse the
Trustee and each predecessor Trustee for expenses, disbursements and advances
shall constitute additional indebtedness hereunder and shall survive the
satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture. Such additional indebtedness shall
be a senior claim to that of the Securities upon all property and funds held or
collected by the Trustee as such, except funds held in trust for the benefit of
the holders of particular Securities, and the Securities are hereby subordinated
to such senior claim.

            SECTION 5.7 Right of Trustee to Rely on Officers' Certificate, etc.
Subject to Sections 5.1 and 5.2, whenever in the administration of the trusts of
this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it necessary or desirable that a matter be
proved or established prior to taking or suffering or omitting any action
hereunder, such matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein
specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of negligence or bad faith on the
part of the Trustee, be deemed to be conclusively proved and established by an
Officers' Certificate delivered to the Trustee, and such certificate, in the
absence of negligence or bad faith on the part of the Trustee, shall be full
warrant to the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it under the
provisions of this Indenture upon the faith thereof.

            SECTION 5.8 Persons Eligible for Appointment as Trustee. The Trustee
for each series of Securities hereunder shall at all times be a corporation
having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000, and which is
eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 310(a) of the Trust
Indenture Act of 1939. If such corporation publishes reports of condition at
least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of a Federal, State or
District of Columbia supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes
of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be
deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent
report of condition so published.

            SECTION 5.9 Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor
Trustee. (a) The Trustee, or any trustee or trustees hereafter appointed, may at
any time resign with


                                       45

<PAGE>   53
respect to one or more or all series of Securities by giving written notice of
resignation to the Issuer and by mailing notice thereof by first class mail to
Holders of the applicable series of Securities at their last addresses as they
shall appear on the Security register. Upon receiving such notice of
resignation, the Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor trustee or trustees
with respect to the applicable series by written instrument in duplicate,
executed by authority of the Board of Directors, one copy of which instrument
shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee and one copy to the successor
trustee or trustees. If no successor trustee shall have been so appointed with
respect to any series and have accepted appointment within 30 days after the
mailing of such notice of resignation, the resigning trustee may petition any
court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee, or
any Securityholder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security or Securities
of the applicable series for at least six months may, subject to the provisions
of Section 4.12, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated,
petition any such court for the appointment of a successor trustee. Such court
may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe,
appoint a successor trustee.

            (b) In case at any time any of the following shall occur:

            (i) the Trustee shall fail to comply with the provisions of Section
      310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 with respect to any series of
      Securities after written request therefor by the Issuer or by any
      Securityholder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security or
      Securities of such series for at least six months; or

            (ii) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the
      provisions of Section 310(a) of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 and shall
      fail to resign after written request therefor by the Issuer or by any
      Securityholder; or

            (iii) the Trustee shall become incapable of acting with respect to
      any series of Securities, or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or
      a receiver or liquidator of the Trustee or of its property shall be
      appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the
      Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation,
      conservation or liquidation;


                                       46

<PAGE>   54
then, in any such case, the Issuer may remove the Trustee with respect to the
applicable series of Securities and appoint a successor trustee for such series
by written instrument, in duplicate, executed by order of the Board of Directors
of the Issuer, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee so
removed and one copy to the successor trustee, or, subject to Section 315(e) of
the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, any Securityholder who has been a bona fide
Holder of a Security or Securities of such series for at least six months may on
behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of
competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a
successor trustee with respect to such series. Such court may thereupon, after
such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, remove the Trustee and
appoint a successor trustee.

            (c) The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
Securities of each series at the time outstanding may at any time remove the
Trustee with respect to Securities of such series and appoint a successor
trustee with respect to the Securities of such series by delivering to the
Trustee so removed, to the successor trustee so appointed and to the Issuer the
evidence provided for in Section 6.1 of the action in that regard taken by the
Securityholders.

            (d) Any resignation or removal of the Trustee with respect to any
series and any appointment of a successor trustee with respect to such series
pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 5.9 shall become effective
upon acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee as provided in Section
5.10.

            SECTION 5.10 Acceptance of Appointment by Successor Trustee. Any
successor trustee appointed as provided in Section 5.9 shall execute and deliver
to the Issuer and to its predecessor trustee an instrument accepting such
appointment hereunder, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the
predecessor trustee with respect to all or any applicable series shall become
effective and such successor trustee, without any further act, deed or
conveyance, shall become vested with all rights, powers, duties and obligations
with respect to such series of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if
originally named as trustee for such series hereunder; but, nevertheless, on the
written request of the Issuer or of the successor trustee, upon payment of its
charges then unpaid, the trustee ceasing to act shall, subject to Section 9.4,
pay over to the successor trustee all moneys at the time held by it hereunder
and shall execute and deliver an


                                       47

<PAGE>   55
instrument transferring to such successor trustee all such rights, powers,
duties and obligations. Upon request of any such successor trustee, the Issuer
shall execute any and all instruments in writing for more fully and certainly
vesting in and confirming to such successor trustee all such rights and powers.
Any trustee ceasing to act shall, nevertheless, retain a prior claim upon all
property or funds held or collected by such trustee to secure any amounts then
due it pursuant to the provisions of Section 5.6.

            If a successor trustee is appointed with respect to the Securities
of one or more (but not all) series, the Issuer, the predecessor Trustee and
each successor trustee with respect to the Securities of any applicable series
shall execute and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto which shall contain
such provisions as shall be deemed necessary or desirable to confirm that all
the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the predecessor Trustee with respect to
the Securities of any series as to which the predecessor Trustee is not retiring
shall continue to be vested in the predecessor Trustee, and shall add to or
change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide
for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one
trustee, it being understood that nothing herein or in such supplemental
indenture shall constitute such trustees co-trustees of the same trust and that
each such trustee shall be trustee of a trust or trusts under separate
indentures.

            Upon acceptance of appointment by any successor trustee as provided
in this Section 5.10, the Issuer shall mail notice thereof by first-class mail
to the Holders of Securities of any series for which such successor trustee is
acting as trustee at their last addresses as they shall appear in the Security
register. If the acceptance of appointment is substantially contemporaneous with
the resignation, then the notice called for by the preceding sentence may be
combined with the notice called for by Section 5.9. If the Issuer fails to mail
such notice within ten days after acceptance of appointment by the successor
trustee, the successor trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed at the
expense of the Issuer.

            SECTION 5.11 Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to
Business of Trustee. Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or
converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting
from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a
party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate trust business of the
Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided that such


                                       48

<PAGE>   56
corporation shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 5.8, without the
execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the
parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding.

            In case at the time such successor to the Trustee shall succeed to
the trusts created by this Indenture any of the Securities of any series shall
have been authenticated but not delivered, any such successor to the Trustee may
adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor Trustee and deliver
such Securities so authenticated; and, in case at that time any of the
Securities of any series shall not have been authenticated, any successor to the
Trustee may authenticate such Securities either in the name of any predecessor
hereunder or in the name of the successor Trustee; and in all such cases such
certificate shall have the full force which it is anywhere in the Securities of
such series or in this Indenture provided that the certificate of the Trustee
shall have; provided, that the right to adopt the certificate of authentication
of any predecessor Trustee or to authenticate Securities of any series in the
name of any predecessor Trustee shall apply only to its successor or successors
by merger, conversion or consolidation.


                                   ARTICLE SIX

                         CONCERNING THE SECURITYHOLDERS

            SECTION 6.1 Evidence of Action Taken by Securityholders. Any
request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other
action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by a specified percentage
in principal amount of the Securityholders of any or all series may be embodied
in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor
signed by such specified percentage of Securityholders in person or by agent
duly appointed in writing; and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided,
such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are
delivered to the Trustee. Proof of execution of any instrument or of a writing
appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture
and (subject to Sections 5.1 and 5.2) conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the
Issuer, if made in the manner provided in this Article.

            SECTION 6.2 Proof of Execution of Instruments and of Holding of
Securities; Record Date. Subject to Sections 5.1 and 5.2, the execution of any
instrument by a Securityholder or his agent or proxy may be proved in
accordance


                                       49

<PAGE>   57
with such reasonable rules and regulations as may be prescribed by the Trustee
or in such manner as shall be satisfactory to the Trustee. The holding of
Securities shall be proved by the Security register or by a certificate of the
registrar thereof. The Issuer may set a record date for purposes of determining
the identity of holders of Securities of any series entitled to vote or consent
to any action referred to in Section 6.1, which record date may be set at any
time or from time to time by notice to the Trustee, for any date or dates (in
the case of any adjournment or reconsideration) not more than 60 days nor less
than five days prior to the proposed date of such vote or consent, and
thereafter, notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, only holders of
Securities of such series of record on such record date shall be entitled to so
vote or give such consent or revoke such vote or consent.

            SECTION 6.3 Holders to be Treated as Owners. The Issuer, the Trustee
and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee may deem and treat the person in
whose name any Security shall be registered upon the Security register for such
series as the absolute owner of such Security (whether or not such Security
shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing
thereon) for the purpose of receiving payment of or on account of the principal
of and, subject to the provisions of this Indenture, interest on such Security
and for all other purposes; and neither the Issuer nor the Trustee nor any agent
of the Issuer or the Trustee shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.
All such payments so made to any such person, or upon his order, shall be valid,
and, to the extent of the sum or sums so paid, effectual to satisfy and
discharge the liability for moneys payable upon any such Security.

            SECTION 6.4 Securities Owned by Issuer Deemed Not Outstanding. In
determining whether the Holders of the requisite aggregate principal amount of
Outstanding Securities of any or all series have concurred in any direction,
consent or waiver under this Indenture, Securities which are owned by the Issuer
or any other obligor on the Securities with respect to which such determination
is being made or by any person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled
by or under direct or indirect common control with the Issuer or any other
obligor on the Securities with respect to which such determination is being made
shall be disregarded and deemed not to be Outstanding for the purpose of any
such determination, except that for the purpose of determining whether the
Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, consent or waiver
only Securities which the Trustee knows are so owned shall be so disregarded.
Securities so owned which have been pledged in


                                       50

<PAGE>   58
good faith may be regarded as Outstanding if the pledgee establishes to the
satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee's right so to act with respect to such
Securities and that the pledgee is not the Issuer or any other obligor upon the
Securities or any person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or
under direct or indirect common control with the Issuer or any other obligor on
the Securities. In case of a dispute as to such right, the advice of counsel
shall be full protection in respect of any decision made by the Trustee in
accordance with such advice. Upon request of the Trustee, the Issuer shall
furnish to the Trustee promptly an Officers' Certificate listing and identifying
all Securities, if any, known by the Issuer to be owned or held by or for the
account of any of the above-described persons; and, subject to Sections 5.1 and
5.2, the Trustee shall be entitled to accept such Officers' Certificate as
conclusive evidence of the facts therein set forth and of the fact that all
Securities not listed therein are Outstanding for the purpose of any such
determination.

            SECTION 6.5 Right of Revocation of Action Taken. At any time prior
to (but not after) the evidencing to the Trustee, as provided in Section 6.1, of
the taking of any action by the Holders of the percentage in aggregate principal
amount of the Securities of any or all series, as the case may be, specified in
this Indenture in connection with such action, any Holder of a Security the
serial number of which is shown by the evidence to be included among the serial
numbers of the Securities the Holders of which have consented to such action
may, by filing written notice at the Corporate Trust Office and upon proof of
holding as provided in this Article, revoke such action so far as concerns such
Security. Except as aforesaid any such action taken by the Holder of any
Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future
Holders and owners of such Security and of any Securities issued in exchange or
substitution therefor, irrespective of whether or not any notation in regard
thereto is made upon any such Security. Any action taken by the Holders of the
percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of any or all series,
as the case may be, specified in this Indenture in connection with such action
shall be conclusively binding upon the Issuer, the Trustee and the Holders of
all the Securities affected by such action.

                                  ARTICLE SEVEN

                             SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES

            SECTION 7.1 Supplemental Indentures Without Consent of
Securityholders. The Issuer, when authorized by a resolution of its Board of
Directors, and the Trustee may from time to time and at any time enter into an
indenture or indentures supplemental hereto for one or more of the following
purposes:

            (a) to convey, transfer, assign, mortgage or pledge to the Trustee
      as security for the Securities of one or more series any property or
      assets;

            (b) to evidence the succession of another corporation to the Issuer,
      or successive successions, and the assumption by the successor corporation
      of the covenants, agreements and obligations of the Issuer pursuant to
      Article Eight;

            (c) to add to the covenants of the Issuer such further covenants,
      restrictions, conditions or provisions as its Board of Directors and the
      Trustee shall consider to be for the protection of the Holders of
      Securities, and to make the occurrence, or the occurrence and continuance,
      of a default in any such additional covenants, restrictions, conditions or
      provisions an Event of Default permitting the enforcement of all or any of
      the several remedies provided in this Indenture as herein set forth;
      provided, that in respect of any such additional covenant, restriction,
      condition or provision such supplemental indenture may provide for a
      particular period of grace after default (which period may be shorter or
      longer than that allowed in the case of other defaults) or may provide for
      an immediate enforcement upon such an Event of Default or may limit the
      remedies available to the Trustee upon such an Event of Default or may
      limit the right of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount
      of the Securities of such series to waive such an Event of Default;

            (d) to cure any ambiguity or to correct or supplement any provision
      contained herein or in any supplemental indenture which may be defective
      or inconsistent with any other provision contained herein or in any
      supplemental indenture; or to make such other provisions in regard to
      matters or questions arising under this Indenture or under any
      supplemental


                                       52

<PAGE>   60
      indenture as the Board of Directors may deem necessary or desirable and
      which shall not adversely affect the interests of the Holders of the
      Securities in any material respect;

            (e) to establish the form or terms of Securities of any series as
      permitted by Sections 2.1 and 2.3; and

            (f) to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment
      hereunder by a successor trustee with respect to the Securities of one or
      more series and to add to or change any of the provisions of this
      Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the
      administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one trustee, pursuant
      to the requirements of Section 5.10.

            The Trustee is hereby authorized to join with the Issuer in the
execution of any such supplemental indenture, to make any further appropriate
agreements and stipulations which may be therein contained and to accept the
conveyance, transfer, assignment, mortgage or pledge of any property thereunder,
but the Trustee shall not be obligated to enter into any such supplemental
indenture which affects the Trustee's own rights, duties or immunities under
this Indenture or otherwise.

            Any supplemental indenture authorized by the provisions of this
Section may be executed without the consent of the Holders of any of the
Securities at the time outstanding, notwithstanding any of the provisions of
Section 7.2.

            SECTION 7.2 Supplemental Indentures With Consent of Securityholders.
With the consent (evidenced as provided in Article Six) of the Holders of not
less than 66 2/3 percent in aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the
time Outstanding of all series affected by such supplemental indenture (voting
as one class), the Issuer, when authorized by a resolution of its Board of
Directors, and the Trustee may, from time to time and at any time, enter into an
indenture or indentures supplemental hereto for the purpose of adding any
provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of
this Indenture or of any supplemental indenture or of modifying in any manner
the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each such series; provided, that
no such supplemental indenture shall (a) extend the final maturity of any
Security, or reduce the principal amount thereof, or reduce the rate or extend
the time of payment of interest thereon, or reduce any amount payable on
redemption thereof or reduce


                                       53

<PAGE>   61
the amount of the principal of an Original Issue Discount Security that would be
due and payable upon an acceleration of the maturity thereof pursuant to Section
4.1 or the amount thereof provable in bankruptcy pursuant to Section 4.2, or
impair or affect the right of any Securityholder to institute suit for the
payment thereof or, if the Securities provide therefor, any right of repayment
at the option of the Securityholder without the consent of the Holder of each
Security so affected, or (b) reduce the aforesaid percentage of Securities of
any series, the consent of the Holders of which is required for any such
supplemental indenture, without the consent of the Holders of each Security so
affected.

            Upon the request of the Issuer, accompanied by a copy of a
resolution of the Board of Directors certified by the secretary or an assistant
secretary of the Issuer authorizing the execution of any such supplemental
indenture, and upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence of the consent of
Securityholders as aforesaid and other documents, if any, required by Section
6.1, the Trustee shall join with the Issuer in the execution of such
supplemental indenture unless such supplemental indenture affects the Trustee's
own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, in which
case the Trustee may in its discretion, but shall not be obligated to, enter
into such supplemental indenture.

            It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Securityholders
under this Section to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental
indenture, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the
substance thereof.

            Promptly after the execution by the Issuer and the Trustee of any
supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions of this Section, the Issuer
shall mail a notice thereof by first class mail to the Holders of Securities of
each series affected thereby at their addresses as they shall appear on the
registry books of the Issuer, setting forth in general terms the substance of
such supplemental indenture. Any failure of the Issuer to mail such notice, or
any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity
of any such supplemental indenture.

            SECTION 7.3 Effect of Supplemental Indenture. Upon the execution of
any supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions hereof, this Indenture
shall be and be deemed to be modified and amended in accordance therewith and
the respective rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities
under this Indenture of the Trustee,


                                       54

<PAGE>   62
the Issuer and the Holders of Securities of each series affected thereby shall
thereafter be determined, exercised and enforced hereunder subject in all
respects to such modifications and amendments, and all the terms and conditions
of any such supplemental indenture shall be and be deemed to be part of the
terms and conditions of this Indenture for any and all purposes.

            SECTION 7.4 Documents to Be Given to Trustee. The Trustee, subject
to the provisions of Sections 5.1 and 5.2, may receive an Officers' Certificate
and an Opinion of Counsel as conclusive evidence that any supplemental indenture
executed pursuant to this Article Seven complies with the applicable provisions
of this Indenture.

            SECTION 7.5 Notation on Securities in Respect of Supplemental
Indentures. Securities of any series authenticated and delivered after the
execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions of this
Article may bear a notation in form approved by the Trustee for such series as
to any matter provided for by such supplemental indenture or as to any action
taken at any such meeting. If the Issuer or the Trustee shall so determine, new
Securities of any series so modified as to conform, in the opinion of the
Trustee and the Board of Directors, to any modification of this Indenture
contained in any such supplemental indenture may be prepared by the Issuer,
authenticated by the Trustee and delivered in exchange for the Securities of
such series then outstanding.


                                  ARTICLE EIGHT

                    CONSOLIDATION, MERGER, SALE OR CONVEYANCE

            SECTION 8.1 Issuer May Consolidate, etc., on Certain Terms. The
Issuer covenants that it will not merge or consolidate with any other
corporation or sell, lease or convey all or substantially all of its assets to
any Person, unless (i) either the Issuer shall be the continuing corporation, or
the successor corporation or the Person which acquires by sale, lease or
conveyance substantially all the assets of the Issuer (if other than the Issuer)
shall be a corporation organized under the laws of the United States of America
or any State thereof or the District of Columbia and shall expressly assume the
due and punctual payment of the principal of and interest on all the Securities,
according to their tenor, and the due and punctual performance and observance of
all of the covenants and conditions of this Indenture to be performed or
observed by the Issuer, by supplemental indenture satisfactory to the


                                       55

<PAGE>   63
Trustee, executed and delivered to the Trustee by such corporation, and (ii) the
Issuer or such successor corporation, as the case may be, shall not, immediately
after such merger or consolidation, or such sale, lease or conveyance, be in
default in the performance of any such covenant or condition.

            SECTION 8.2 Successor Corporation Substituted. In case of any such
consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance, and following such an assumption by
the successor corporation, such successor corporation shall succeed to and be
substituted for the Issuer, with the same effect as if it had been named herein.
Such successor corporation may cause to be signed, and may issue either in its
own name or in the name of the Issuer prior to such succession any or all of the
Securities issuable hereunder which theretofore shall not have been signed by
the Issuer and delivered to the Trustee; and, upon the order of such successor
corporation instead of the Issuer and subject to all the terms, conditions and
limitations in this Indenture prescribed, the Trustee shall authenticate and
shall deliver any Securities which previously shall have been signed and
delivered by the officers of the Issuer to the Trustee for authentication, and
any Securities which such successor corporation thereafter shall cause to be
signed and delivered to the Trustee for that purpose. All of the Securities so
issued shall in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit under this
Indenture as the Securities theretofore or thereafter issued in accordance with
the terms of this Indenture as though all of such Securities had been issued at
the date of the execution hereof.

            In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale, lease or conveyance
such changes in phraseology and form (but not in substance) may be made in the
Securities thereafter to be issued as may be appropriate.

            In the event of any such sale or conveyance (other than a conveyance
by way of lease) the Issuer or any successor corporation which shall theretofore
have become such in the manner described in this Article shall be discharged
from all obligations and covenants under this Indenture and the Securities and
may be liquidated and dissolved.

            SECTION 8.3 Opinion of Counsel to Trustee. The Trustee, subject to
the provisions of Sections 5.1 and 5.2, may receive an Opinion of Counsel,
prepared in accordance with Section 10.5, as conclusive evidence that any such
consolidation, merger, sale, lease or conveyance, and any


                                       56

<PAGE>   64
such assumption, and any such liquidation or dissolution, complies with the
applicable provisions of this Indenture.


                                  ARTICLE NINE

                    SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE OF INDENTURE;
                                UNCLAIMED MONEYS.

            SECTION 9.1 Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture. If at any time
(a) the Issuer shall have paid or caused to be paid the principal of and
interest on all the Securities of any series outstanding hereunder (other than
Securities of such series which have been destroyed, lost or stolen and which
have been replaced or paid as provided in Section 2.9) as and when the same
shall have become due and payable, or (b) the Issuer shall have delivered to the
Trustee for cancellation all securities of any series theretofore authenticated
(other than any Securities of such series which shall have been destroyed, lost
or stolen and which shall have been replaced or paid as provided in Section 2.9)
or (c) (i) all the securities of such series not theretofore delivered to the
Trustee for cancellation shall have become due and payable, or are by their
terms to become due and payable within one year or are to be called for
redemption within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for
the giving of notice of redemption, and (ii) the Issuer shall have irrevocably
deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds the entire
amount in cash (other than moneys repaid by the Trustee or any paying agent to
the Issuer in accordance with Section 9.4) sufficient to pay at maturity or upon
redemption all Securities of such series (other than any Securities of such
series which shall have been destroyed, lost or stolen and which shall have been
replaced or paid as provided in Section 2.9) not theretofore delivered to the
Trustee for cancellation, including principal and interest due or to become due
on or prior to such date of maturity as the case may be, and if, in any such
case, the Issuer shall also pay or cause to be paid all other sums payable
hereunder by the Issuer with respect to Securities of such series, then this
Indenture shall cease to be of further effect with respect to Securities of such
series (except as to (i) rights of registration of transfer and exchange of
securities of such series, and the Issuer's right of optional redemption, if
any, (ii) substitution of mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen
Securities, (iii) rights of holders to receive payments of principal thereof and
interest thereon, and remaining rights of the holders to receive mandatory
sinking fund payments, if any, (iv) the rights, obligations and immunities of
the Trustee


                                       57

<PAGE>   65
hereunder and (v) the rights of the Securityholders of such series as
beneficiaries hereof with respect to the property so deposited with the Trustee
payable to all or any of them), and the Trustee, on demand of the Issuer
accompanied by an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel and at the
cost and expense of the Issuer, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging
such satisfaction of and discharging this Indenture with respect to such series;
provided, that the rights of Holders of the Securities to receive amounts in
respect of principal of and interest on the Securities held by them shall not be
delayed longer than required by then-applicable mandatory rules or policies of
any securities exchange upon which the Securities are listed. The Issuer agrees
to reimburse the Trustee for any costs or expenses thereafter reasonably and
properly incurred and to compensate the Trustee for any services thereafter
reasonably and properly rendered by the Trustee in connection with this
Indenture or the Securities of such series.

            SECTION 9.2 Application by Trustee of Funds Deposited for Payment of
Securities. Subject to Section 9.4, all moneys deposited with the Trustee
pursuant to Section 9.1 shall be held in trust and applied by it to the payment,
either directly or through any paying agent (including the Issuer acting as its
own paying agent), to the Holders of the particular Securities of such series
for the payment or redemption of which such moneys have been deposited with the
Trustee, of all sums due and to become due thereon for principal and interest;
but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent
required by law.

            SECTION 9.3 Repayment of Moneys Held by Paying Agent. In connection
with the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with respect to Securities
of any series, all moneys then held by any paying agent under the provisions of
this Indenture with respect to such series of Securities shall, upon demand of
the Issuer, be repaid to it or paid to the Trustee and thereupon such paying
agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such moneys.

            SECTION 9.4 Return of Moneys Held by Trustee and Paying Agent
Unclaimed for Three Years. Any moneys deposited with or paid to the Trustee or
any paying agent for the payment of the principal of or interest on any Security
of any series and not applied but remaining unclaimed for three years after the
date upon which such principal or interest shall have become due and payable,
shall, upon the written request of the Issuer and unless


                                       58

<PAGE>   66
otherwise required by mandatory provisions of applicable escheat or abandoned or
unclaimed property law, be repaid to the Issuer by the Trustee for such series
or such paying agent, and the Holder of the Security of such series shall,
unless otherwise required by mandatory provisions of applicable escheat or
abandoned or unclaimed property laws, thereafter look only to the Issuer for any
payment which such Holder may be entitled to collect, and all liability of the
Trustee or any paying agent with respect to such moneys shall thereupon cease.


                                   ARTICLE TEN

                            MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

            SECTION 10.1 Incorporators, Stockholders, Officers and Directors of
Issuer Exempt from Individual Liability. No recourse under or upon any
obligation, covenant or agreement contained in this Indenture, or in any
Security, or because of any indebtedness evidenced 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 the acceptance of the Securities by the holders thereof and as
part of the consideration for the issue of the Securities.

            SECTION 10.2 Provisions of Indenture for the Sole Benefit of Parties
and Securityholders. Nothing in this Indenture or in the Securities, expressed
or implied, shall give or be construed to give to any person, firm or
corporation, other than the parties hereto and their successors and the Holders
of the Securities, any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this
Indenture or under any covenant or provision herein contained, all such
covenants and provisions being for the sole benefit of the parties hereto and
their successors and of the Holders of the Securities.

            SECTION 10.3 Successors and Assigns of Issuer Bound by Indenture.
All the covenants, stipulations, promises and agreements in this Indenture
contained by or in behalf of the Issuer shall bind its successors and assigns,
whether so expressed or not.

            SECTION 10.4 Notices and Demands on Issuer, Trustee and
Securityholders. Any notice or demand which by any provision of this Indenture
is required or permitted to be given or served by the Trustee or by the Holders
of Securities to or on the Issuer may be given or served by being deposited
postage prepaid, first-class mail (except as otherwise specifically provided
herein) addressed (until another address of the Issuer is filed by the Issuer
with the Trustee) to Cardinal Health, Inc., 5555 Glendon Court, Dublin, Ohio
43016, Attention: Chairman. Any notice, direction, request or demand by the
Issuer or any Securityholder to or upon the Trustee shall be deemed to have been
sufficiently given or made, for all purposes, if given or made at the Corporate
Trust Office.

            Where this Indenture provides for notice to Holders, such notice
shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in
writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder entitled
thereto, at his last address as it appears in the Security register. In any case
where notice to Holders is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such
notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular Holder shall
affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders. Where this
Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in
writing by the person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after
the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of
notice by Holders shall be filed with the Trustee, but such filing shall not be
a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such
waiver.

            In case, by reason of the suspension of or irregularities in regular
mail service, it shall be impracticable to mail notice to the Issuer and
Securityholders when such notice is required to be given pursuant to any
provision of this Indenture, then any manner of giving such notice as shall be
satisfactory to the Trustee shall be deemed to be a sufficient giving of such
notice.

            SECTION 10.5 Officers' Certificates and Opinions of Counsel;
Statements to Be Contained Therein. Upon any application or demand by the Issuer
to the Trustee to take any action under any of the provisions of this Indenture,
the Issuer shall furnish to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate stating that
all conditions precedent provided for in this Indenture relating to the proposed
action have been complied with and an Opinion of Counsel stating that in the
opinion of such counsel all such conditions precedent have been complied with,
except that in the case of any such


                                       60

<PAGE>   68
application or demand as to which the furnishing of such documents is
specifically required by any provision of this Indenture relating to such
particular application or demand, no additional certificate or opinion need be
furnished.

            Each certificate or opinion provided for in this Indenture and
delivered to the Trustee with respect to compliance with a condition or covenant
provided for in this Indenture shall include (a) a statement that the person
making such certificate or opinion has read such covenant or condition, (b) a
brief statement as to the nature and scope of the examination or investigation
upon which the statements or opinions contained in such certificate or opinion
are based, (c) a statement that, in the opinion of such person, he has made such
examination or investigation as is necessary to enable him to express an
informed opinion as to whether or not such covenant or condition has been
complied with and (d) a statement as to whether or not, in the opinion of such
person, such condition or covenant has been complied with.

            Any certificate, statement or opinion of an officer of the Issuer
may be based, insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon a certificate or
opinion of or representations by counsel, unless such officer knows that the
certificate or opinion or representations with respect to the matters upon which
his certificate, statement or opinion may be based as aforesaid are erroneous,
or in the exercise of reasonable care should know that the same are erroneous.
Any certificate, statement or opinion of counsel may be based, insofar as it
relates to factual matters, information with respect to which is in the
possession of the Issuer, upon the certificate, statement or opinion of or
representations by an officer of officers of the Issuer, unless such counsel
knows that the certificate, statement or opinion or representations with respect
to the matters upon which his certificate, statement or opinion may be based as
aforesaid are erroneous, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know that
the same are erroneous.

            Any certificate, statement or opinion of an officer of the Issuer or
of counsel may be based, insofar as it relates to accounting matters, upon a
certificate or opinion of or representations by an accountant or firm of
accountants in the employ of the Issuer, unless such officer or counsel, as the
case may be, knows that the certificate or opinion or representations with
respect to the accounting matters upon which his certificate, statement or
opinion may be based as aforesaid are erroneous, or in the exercise of
reasonable care should know that the same are erroneous.

<PAGE>   69
            Any certificate or opinion of any independent firm of public
accountants filed with the Trustee shall contain a statement that such firm is
independent.

            SECTION 10.6 Payments Due on Saturdays, Sundays and Holidays. If the
date of maturity of interest on or principal of the Securities of any series or
the date fixed for redemption or repayment of any such Security shall not be a
Business Day, then payment of interest or principal need not be made on such
date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force
and effect as if made on the date of maturity or the date fixed for redemption,
and no interest shall accrue for the period after such date.

            SECTION 10.7 Conflict of Any Provision of Indenture with Trust
Indenture Act of 1939. If and to the extent that any provision of this Indenture
limits, qualifies or conflicts with another provision included in this Indenture
by operation of Sections 310 to 317, inclusive, of the Trust Indenture Act of
1939 (an "incorporated provision"), such incorporated provision shall control.

            SECTION 10.8 Ohio Law to Govern. This Indenture and each Security
shall be deemed to be a contract under the laws of the State of Ohio, and for
all purposes shall be construed in accordance with the laws of such State,
except as may otherwise be required by mandatory provisions of law.

            SECTION 10.9 Counterparts. This Indenture may be executed in any
number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original; but such
counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.

            SECTION 10.10 Effect of Headings. The Article and Section headings
herein and the Table of Contents are for convenience only and shall not affect
the construction hereof.


                                 ARTICLE ELEVEN

                   REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES AND SINKING FUNDS

            SECTION 11.1 Applicability of Article. The provisions of this
Article shall be applicable to the Securities of any series which are redeemable
before their maturity or to any sinking fund for the retirement of Securities of
a series except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.3 for
Securities of such series.


                                       62

<PAGE>   70
            SECTION 11.2 Notice of Redemption; Partial Redemptions. Notice of
redemption to the Holders of Securities of any series to be redeemed as a whole
or in part at the option of the Issuer shall be given by mailing notice of such
redemption by first class mail, postage prepaid, at least 30 days and not more
than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption to such Holders of
Securities of such series at their last addresses as they shall appear upon the
registry books. Any notice which is mailed in the manner herein provided shall
be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the Holder
receives the notice. Failure to give notice by mail, or any defect in the notice
to the Holder of any Security of a series designated for redemption as a whole
or in part shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption
of any other Security of such series.

            The notice of redemption to each such Holder shall specify the
principal amount of each Security of such series held by such Holder to be
redeemed, the date fixed for redemption, the redemption price, the place or
places of payment, that payment will be made upon presentation and surrender of
such Securities, that such redemption is pursuant to the mandatory or optional
sinking fund, or both, if such be the case, that interest accrued to the date
fixed for redemption will be paid as specified in such notice and that on and
after said date interest thereon or on the portions thereof to be redeemed will
cease to accrue. In case any Security of a series is to be redeemed in part only
the notice of redemption shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof
to be redeemed and shall state that on and after the date fixed for redemption,
upon surrender of such Security, a new Security or Securities of such series in
principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued.

            The notice of redemption of Securities of any series to be redeemed
at the option of the Issuer shall be given by the Issuer or, at the Issuer's
request, by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Issuer.

            At least one Business Day prior to the redemption date specified in
the notice of redemption given as provided in this Section, the Issuer will
deposit with the Trustee or with one or more paying agents (or, if the Issuer is
acting as its own paying agent, set aside, segregate and hold in trust as
provided in Section 3.4) an amount of money sufficient to redeem on the
redemption date all the Securities of such series so called for redemption at
the appropriate redemption price, together with accrued interest to the date
fixed for redemption. If less than all the


                                       63

<PAGE>   71
outstanding Securities of a series are to be redeemed, the Issuer will deliver
to the Trustee at least 70 days prior to the date fixed for redemption an
Officers' Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Securities to be
redeemed.

            If less than all the Securities of a series are to be redeemed, the
Trustee shall select, in such manner as it shall deem appropriate and fair,
Securities of such Series to be redeemed in whole or in part. Securities may be
redeemed in part in multiples equal to the minimum authorized denomination for
Securities of such series or any multiple thereof. The Trustee shall promptly
notify the Issuer in writing of the Securities of such series selected for
redemption and, in the case of any Securities of such series selected for
partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. For all
purposes of this Indenture, unless the context otherwise requires, all
provisions relating to the redemption of Securities of any series shall relate,
in the case of any Security redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the
portion of the principal amount of such Security which has been or is to be
redeemed.

            SECTION 11.3 Payment of Securities Called for Redemption. If notice
of redemption has been given as above provided, the Securities or portions of
Securities specified in such notice shall become due and payable on the date and
at the place stated in such notice at the applicable redemption price, together
with interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption, and on and after said
date (unless the Issuer shall default in the payment of such Securities at the
redemption price, together with interest accrued to said date) interest on the
Securities or portions of Securities so called for redemption shall cease to
accrue and, except as provided in Sections 5.5 and 9.4, such Securities shall
cease from and after the date fixed for redemption to be entitled to any benefit
or security under this Indenture, and the Holders thereof shall have no right in
respect of such Securities except the right to receive the redemption price
thereof and unpaid interest to the date fixed for redemption. On presentation
and surrender of such Securities at a place of payment specified in said notice,
said Securities or the specified portions thereof shall be paid and redeemed by
the Issuer at the applicable redemption price, together with interest accrued
thereon to the date fixed for redemption; provided that any semiannual payment
of interest becoming due on the date fixed for redemption shall be payable to
the Holders of such Securities registered as such on the relevant record date
subject to the terms and provisions of Section 2.4 hereof.


                                       64

<PAGE>   72
            If any Security called for redemption shall not be so paid upon
surrender thereof for redemption, the principal shall, until paid or duly
provided for, bear interest from the date fixed for redemption at the rate of
interest or Yield to Maturity (in the case of an Original Issue Discount
Security) borne by the Security.

            Upon presentation of any Security redeemed in part only, the Issuer
shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to or on the order
of the Holder thereof, at the expense of the Issuer, a new Security or
Securities of such series, of authorized denominations, in principal amount
equal to the unredeemed portion of the Security so presented.

            SECTION 11.4 Exclusion of Certain Securities from Eligibility for
Selection for Redemption. Securities shall be excluded from eligibility for
selection for redemption if they are identified by registration and certificate
number in a written statement signed by an authorized officer of the Issuer and
delivered to the Trustee at least 40 days prior to the last date on which notice
of redemption may be given as being owned of record and beneficially by, and not
pledged or hypothecated by either (a) the Issuer or (b) an entity specifically
identified in such written statement directly or indirectly controlling or
controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Issuer.

            SECTION 11.5 Mandatory and Optional Sinking Funds. The minimum
amount of any sinking fund payment provided for by the terms of Securities of
any series is herein referred to as a "mandatory sinking fund payment", and any
payment in excess of such minimum amount provided for by the terms of Securities
of any series is herein referred to as an "optional sinking fund payment". The
date on which a sinking fund payment is to be made is herein referred to as the
"sinking fund payment date".

            In lieu of making all or any part of any mandatory sinking fund
payment with respect to any series of Securities in cash, the Issuer may at its
option (a) deliver to the Trustee Securities of such series theretofore
purchased or otherwise acquired (except upon redemption pursuant to the
mandatory sinking fund) by the Issuer or receive credit for Securities of such
series (not previously so credited) theretofore purchased or otherwise acquired
(except as aforesaid) by the Issuer and delivered to the Trustee for
cancellation pursuant to Section 2.7, (b) receive credit for optional sinking
fund payments (not previously so credited) made pursuant to this Section, or (c)
receive credit for Securities of such series (not


                                       65

<PAGE>   73
previously so credited) redeemed by the Issuer through any optional redemption
provision contained in the terms of such series. Securities so delivered or
credited shall be received or credited by the Trustee at the sinking fund
redemption price specified in such Securities.

            On or before the sixtieth day next preceding each sinking fund
payment date for any series, the Issuer will deliver to the Trustee a written
statement (which need not contain the statements required by Section 10.5)
signed by an authorized officer of the Issuer (a) specifying the portion of the
mandatory sinking fund payment to be satisfied by payment of cash and the
portion to be satisfied by credit of Securities of such series, (b) stating that
none of the Securities of such series has theretofore been so credited, (c)
stating that no defaults in the payment of interest or Events of Default with
respect to such series have occurred (which have not been waived or cured) and
are continuing and (d) stating whether or not the Issuer intends to exercise its
right to make an optional sinking fund payment with respect to such series and,
if so, specifying the amount of such optional sinking fund payment which the
Issuer intends to pay on or before the next succeeding sinking fund payment
date. Any Securities of such series to be credited and required to be delivered
to the Trustee in order for the Issuer to be entitled to credit therefor as
aforesaid which have not theretofore been delivered to the Trustee shall be
delivered for cancellation pursuant to Section 2.10 to the Trustee with such
written statement (or reasonably promptly thereafter if acceptable to the
Trustee). Such written statement shall be irrevocable and upon its receipt by
the Trustee the Issuer shall become unconditionally obligated to make all the
cash payments or payments therein referred to, if any, on or before the next
succeeding sinking fund payment date. Failure of the Issuer, on or before any
such sixtieth day, to deliver such written statement and Securities specified in
this paragraph, if any, shall not constitute a default but shall constitute, on
and as of such date, the irrevocable election of the Issuer (i) that the
mandatory sinking fund payment for such series due on the next succeeding
sinking fund payment date shall be paid entirely in cash without the option to
deliver or credit Securities of such series in respect thereof and (ii) that the
Issuer will make no optional sinking fund payment with respect to such series as
provided in this Section.

            If the sinking fund payment or payments (mandatory or optional or
both) to be made in cash on the next succeeding sinking fund payment date plus
any unused balance of any preceding sinking fund payments made in cash shall


                                       66

<PAGE>   74
exceed $50,000 (or a lesser sum if the Issuer shall so request) with respect to
the Securities of any particular series, such cash shall be applied on the next
succeeding sinking fund payment date to the redemption of Securities of such
series at the sinking fund redemption price together with accrued interest to
the date fixed for redemption. If such amount shall be $50,000 or less and the
Issuer makes no such request then it shall be carried over until a sum in excess
of $50,000 is available. The Trustee shall select, in the manner provided in
Section 11.2, for redemption on such sinking fund payment date a sufficient
principal amount of Securities of such series to absorb said cash, as nearly as
may be, and shall (if requested in writing by the Issuer) inform the Issuer of
the serial numbers of the Securities of such series (or portions thereof) so
selected. Securities of any series which are (a) owned by the Issuer or an
entity known by the Trustee to be directly or indirectly controlling or
controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Issuer, as
shown by the Security register, and not known to the Trustee to have been
pledged or hypothecated by the Issuer or any such entity or (b) identified in an
Officers' Certificate at least 60 days prior to the sinking fund payment date as
being beneficially owned by, and not pledged or hypothecated by, the Issuer or
an entity directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or
indirect common control with the Issuer shall be excluded from Securities of
such series eligible for selection for redemption. The Trustee, in the name and
at the expense of the Issuer (or the Issuer, if it shall so request the Trustee
in writing) shall cause notice of redemption of the Securities of such series to
be given in substantially the manner provided in Section 11.2 (and with the
effect provided in Section 11.3) for the redemption of Securities of such series
in part at the option of the Issuer. The amount of any sinking fund payments not
so applied or allocated to the redemption of Securities of such series shall be
added to the next cash sinking fund payment for such series and, together with
such payment, shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of this
Section. Any and all sinking fund moneys held on the stated maturity date of the
Securities of any particular series (or earlier, if such maturity is
accelerated), which are not held for the payment or redemption of particular
Securities of such series shall be applied, together with other moneys, if
necessary, sufficient for the purpose, to the payment of the principal of, and
interest on, the Securities of such series at maturity.

            At least one Business Day before each sinking fund payment date, the
Issuer shall pay to the Trustee in cash or shall otherwise provide for the
payment of all interest


                                       67

<PAGE>   75
accrued to the date fixed for redemption on Securities to be redeemed on the
next following sinking fund payment date.

            The Trustee shall not redeem or cause to be redeemed any Securities
of a series with sinking fund moneys or mail any notice of redemption of
Securities for such series by operation of the sinking fund during the
continuance of a default in payment of interest on such Securities or of any
Event of Default except that, where the mailing of notice of redemption of any
Securities shall theretofore have been made, the Trustee shall redeem or cause
to be redeemed such Securities, provided that it shall have received from the
Issuer a sum sufficient for such redemption. Except as aforesaid, any moneys in
the sinking fund for such series at the time when any such default or Event of
Default shall occur, and any moneys thereafter paid into the sinking fund,
shall, during the continuance of such default or Event of Default, be deemed to
have been collected under Article Four and held for the payment of all such
Securities. In case such Event of Default shall have been waived as provided in
Section 4.9 or the default cured on or before the sixtieth day preceding the
sinking fund payment date in any year, such moneys shall thereafter be applied
on the next succeeding sinking fund payment date in accordance with this Section
to the redemption of such Securities.

   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 ______ , 1997 (herein called


                                     -2-

the "Indenture"), duly executed and delivered by the Issuer to BANK ONE, 
COLUMBUS, NA, as Trustee (herein called the "Trustee"), 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
______% Notes Due ______________ of the Issuer, limited in aggregate principal
amount to $_____________.

   In case an Event of Default with respect to the ______% Notes Due
_______________, 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.

   The Indenture contains provisions permitting the Issuer and the Trustee,
with the consent of the Holders of not less than 66 2/3% in aggregate principal
amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding (as defined in the Indenture)
of all series to be affected (voting as one class), evidenced as in the
Indenture provided, to execute supplemental indentures adding any provisions to
or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Indenture
or of any 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,





                                     -3-

<PAGE>   4
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.

   No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the
Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Issuer, which is absolute
and unconditional, to pay the principal of and any premium and interest on this
Note in the manner, at the respective times, at the rate and in the coin or
currency herein prescribed.

   The Notes are issuable in registered form without coupons in denominations
of $1,000 and any multiple of $1,000 at the office or agency of the Issuer
referred to on the face hereof and in the manner and subject to the limitations
provided in the Indenture, but without the payment of any service charge, Notes
may be exchanged for a like aggregate principal amount of Notes of other
authorized denominations.

   [The Notes may be redeemed at the option of the Issuer as a whole, or from
time to time in part, on any date after ________________ and prior to maturity,
upon mailing a notice of such redemption not less than 30 nor more than 60 days
prior to the date fixed for redemption to the Holders of Notes at their last
registered addresses, all as further provided in the Indenture, at the
following redemption prices (expressed in percentages of the principal amount)
together in each case with accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption:

   If redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning _______________________,

           Year         Percentage        Year          Percentage
           ----         ----------        ----          ----------



[PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no such optional redemption may be effected prior to
_______________ directly or indirectly from or in anticipation of moneys
borrowed by or for the account of the Issuer at an interest cost (calculated in
accordance with generally accepted financial practice) of less than _____% per
annum.]

   [The Notes are also subject to redemption, through the operations of the
sinking fund as herein provided on ____________ and on each ____________
thereafter to and including ____________ on notice as set forth above and at
100% of the principal amount





                                      -4-

<PAGE>   5
thereof (the sinking fund redemption price), together with accrued interest to
the date fixed for redemption.

   As and for a sinking fund for the retirement of the Notes and so long as any
of the Notes remain outstanding  and unpaid, the Issuer will pay to the Trustee
in cash (subject to the right to deliver certain Notes in credit therefor as in
the Indenture provided), on or before _______________ and on or before
______________ in each year thereafter to and including an amount sufficient to
redeem $______________ principal amount of the Notes (or such lesser amount
equal to the principal amount then Outstanding) at the sinking fund redemption
price.

   At its option the Issuer may pay into the sinking fund for the retirement of
Notes, in cash except as provided in the Indenture, on or before _____________
and on or before __________ in each year thereafter to and including
_____________, an amount sufficient to redeem an additional principal amount of
Notes up to but not to exceed $____________ at the sinking fund redemption
price.  To the extent that the right to such optional sinking fund payment is
not exercised in any year, it shall not be cumulative or carried forward to any
subsequent year.]

   Upon due presentment for registration of transfer of this Note at the
above-mentioned office or agency of the Issuer, a new Note or Notes of
authorized denominations for an equal aggregate principal amount will be issued
to the transferee in exchange therefor, subject to the limitations provided in
the Indenture, without charge except for any tax or other governmental charge
imposed in connection therewith.

   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.

   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 the acceptance hereof and as part of the
consideration for the issue hereof.

   Terms used herein which are defined in the Indenture shall have the
respective meanings assigned thereto in the Indenture.

Dear Sirs:

                 We have acted as counsel to Cardinal Health, Inc., an Ohio
corporation (the "Company"), in connection with its Registration Statement on
Form S-3 (the "Registration Statement") being filed under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the "Act") relating to the proposed public offering of up to
$350,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company's Debt Securities (the
"Securities") to be issued under an Indenture to be entered into between the
Company and Bank One, Columbus, NA, as trustee (the "Indenture").

                 We have examined originals or copies, certified or otherwise
identified to our satisfaction, of such documents as we have deemed necessary
for the purposes of this opinion including, without limitation, the forms of
Indenture and Debt Security filed as exhibits to the Registration Statement.

                 Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:

                 When (a) the Indenture shall have been duly executed in
substantially the form filed as an Exhibit to the Registration Statement, (b)
the Securities shall have been duly executed, authenticated and delivered in
accordance with the terms of the Indenture, (c) the Registration Statement
shall have become effective under the Act, (d) the Indenture shall have been
qualified under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended and (e) the
Securities shall have been issued and sold as described in the Registration
Statement, the Securities will be duly authorized and issued, and valid and
binding obligations of the Company.

                 We hereby consent to the use of this opinion as an exhibit to
the Registration Statement and to the reference to our firm under "Legal
Matters" in the prospectus included in the Registration Statement.

                                           Very truly yours,

         FOURTH.  The annual meeting of the shareholders for the election of
Directors and the transaction of whatever other business may be brought before
said meeting shall be held at the main office of this Association or such other

Association shall have the preemptive or preferential right of subscription to
any share of any class of stock of this Association, whether now or hereafter
authorized or to any obligations convertible into stock of this Association,
issued or sold, nor any right of subscription to any thereof other than such,
if any, as the Board of Directors, in its discretion, may from time-to-time

                 The Board of Directors shall have the power to define the

                                     - 6 -

         TENTH.  Every person who is or was a Director, officer or employee of
the Association or of any other corporation which he served as a Director,
officer or employee at the request of the Association as part of his regularly
assigned duties may be indemnified by the Association in accordance with the
provisions of this paragraph against all liability (including, without
limitation, judgments, fines, penalties and settlements) and all reasonable
expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys' fees and investigative
expenses) that may be incurred or paid by him in connection with any claim,
action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal or administrative (all
referred to hereafter in this paragraphs as "Claims") or in connection with any
appeal relating thereto in which he may become involved as a party or otherwise
or with which he may be threatened by reason of his being or having been a
Director, officer or employee of the Association or such other corporation, or
by reason of any action taken or omitted by him in his capacity as such
Director, officer or employee, whether or not he continues to be such at the
time such liability or expenses are incurred, provided that nothing contained
in this paragraph shall be construed to permit indemnification of any such
person who is adjudged guilty of, or liable for, willful misconduct, gross
neglect of duty or criminal acts, unless, at the time such indemnification is
sought, such indemnification in such instance is permissible under applicable
law and regulations, including published rulings of the Comptroller of the
Currency or other appropriate supervisory or regulatory authority, and provided
further that there shall be no indemnification of directors, officers, or
employees against expenses, penalties, or other payments incurred in an
administrative proceeding or action instituted by an appropriate regulatory
agency which proceeding or action results in a final order assessing civil
money penalties or requiring affirmative action by an individual or individuals
in the form of payments to the Association.  Every person who may be
indemnified under the provisions of this paragraph and who has been wholly
successful on the merits with respect to any Claim shall be entitled to
indemnification as of right.  Except as provided in the preceding sentence, any
indemnification under this paragraph shall be at the sole discretion of the
Board of Directors and shall be made only if the Board of Directors or the
Executive Committee acting by a quorum consisting of





                                     - 7 -
<PAGE>   8
Directors who are not parties to such Claim shall find or if independent legal
counsel (who may be the regular counsel of the Association) selected by the
Board of Directors or Executive Committee whether or not a disinterested quorum
exists shall render their opinion that in view of all of the circumstances then
surrounding the Claim, such indemnification is equitable and in the best
interests of the Association.  Among the circumstances to be taken into
consideration in arriving at such a finding or opinion is the existence or
non-existence of a contract of insurance or indemnity under which the
Association would be wholly or partially reimbursed for such indemnification,
but the existence or non-existence of such insurance is not the sole
circumstance to be considered nor shall it be wholly determinative of whether
such indemnification shall be made.  In addition to such finding or opinion, no
indemnification under this paragraph shall be made unless the Board of
Directors or the Executive Committee acting by a quorum consisting of Directors
who are not parties to such Claim shall find or if independent legal counsel
(who may be the regular counsel of the Association) selected by the Board of
Directors or Executive Committee whether or not a disinterested quorum exists
shall render their opinion that the Director, officer or employee acted in good
faith in what he reasonably believed to be the best interests of the
Association or such other corporation and further in the case of any criminal
action or proceeding, that the Director, officer or employee reasonably
believed his conduct to be lawful.  Determination of any Claim by judgment
adverse to a Director, officer or employee by settlement with or without Court
approval or conviction upon a plea of guilty or of nolocontendere or its
equivalent shall not create a presumption that a Director, officer or employee
failed to meet the standards of conduct set forth in this paragraph.  Expenses
incurred with respect to any Claim may be advanced by the Association prior to
the final disposition thereof upon receipt of an undertaking satisfactory to
the Association by or on behalf of the recipient to repay such amount unless it
is ultimately determined that he is entitled to indemnification under this
paragraph.  The rights of indemnification provided in this paragraph shall be
in addition to any rights to which any Director, officer or employee may
otherwise be entitled by contract or as a matter of law.





                                     - 8 -
<PAGE>   9
Every person who shall act as a Director, officer or employee of this
Association shall be conclusively presumed to be doing so in reliance upon the
right of indemnification provided for in this paragraph.

         ELEVENTH.  These Articles of Association may be amended at any regular
or special meeting of the shareholders by the affirmative vote of the holders
of a majority of the stock of this Association, unless the vote of the holders
of a greater amount of stock is required by law, and in that case by the vote
of the holders of such greater amount.

SECTION 1.01.  ANNUAL MEETING.  The regular annual meeting of the Shareholders
of the Bank for the election of Directors and for the transaction of such
business as may properly come before the meeting shall be held at its main
banking house, or other convenient place duly authorized by the Board of
Directors, on the third Monday of January of each year, or on the next
succeeding banking day, if the day fixed falls on a legal holiday.  If from any
cause, an election of directors is not made on the day fixed for the regular
meeting of shareholders or, in the event of a legal holiday, on the next
succeeding banking day, the Board of Directors shall order the election to be
held on some subsequent day, as soon thereafter as practicable, according to
the provisions of law; and notice thereof shall be given in the manner herein
provided for the annual meeting.  Notice of such annual meeting shall be given
by or under the direction of the Secretary or such other officer as may be
designated by the Chief Executive Officer by first-class mail, postage prepaid,
to all shareholders of record of the Bank at their respective addresses as
shown upon the books of the Bank mailed not less than ten days prior to the

SECTION 1.02.  SPECIAL MEETINGS.  A special meeting of the shareholders of this
Bank may be called at any time by the Board of Directors or by any three or
more shareholders owning, in the aggregate, not less than ten percent of the

other officer as is designated by the Chief Executive Officer, by first-class
mail, postage prepaid, to all shareholders of

record of the Bank at their respective addresses as shown upon the books of the
Bank, mailed not less than ten days prior to the date fixed for such meeting.

         Any special meeting of shareholders shall be conducted and its
proceedings recorded in the manner prescribed in these By-Laws for annual
meetings of shareholders.

SECTION 1.03.  SECRETARY OF SHAREHOLDERS' MEETING.  The Board of Directors may
designate a person to be the Secretary of the meetings of shareholders.  In the
absence of a presiding officer, as designated in these By-Laws, the Board of
Directors may designate a person to act as the presiding officer.  In the event
the Board of Directors fails to designate a person to preside at a meeting of
shareholders and a Secretary of such meeting, the shareholders present or
represented shall elect a person to preside and a person to serve as Secretary
of the meeting.

         The Secretary of the meetings of shareholders shall cause the returns
made by the judges and election and other proceedings to be recorded in the
minute book of the Bank.  The presiding officer shall notify the
directors-elect of their election and to meet forthwith for the organization of
the new board.

         The minutes of the meeting shall be signed by the presiding officer
and the Secretary designated for the meeting.

SECTION 1.04.  JUDGES OF ELECTION.  The Board of Directors may appoint as many
as three shareholders to be judges of the election, who shall hold and conduct
the same, and who shall, after the election has been held, notify, in writing
over their signatures, the secretary of the shareholders' meeting of the result
thereof and the names of the Directors elected; provided, however, that upon
failure for any reason of any judge or judges of election, so appointed by the
directors, to serve, the presiding officer of the meeting shall appoint other
shareholders or their proxies to fill the vacancies.  The judges of election at
the request of the chairman of the





                                     - 11 -
<PAGE>   12
meeting, shall act as tellers of any other vote by ballot taken at such
meeting, and shall notify, in writing over their signatures, the secretary of
the Board of Directors of the result thereof.

SECTION 1.05.  PROXIES.  In all elections of Directors, each shareholder of
record, who is qualified to vote under the provisions of Federal Law, shall
have the right to vote the number of shares of record in his name for as many
persons as there are Directors to be elected, or to cumulate such shares as
provided by Federal Law.  In deciding all other questions at meetings of
shareholders, each shareholder shall be entitled to one vote on each share of
stock of record in his name.  Shareholders may vote by proxy duly authorized in
writing.  All proxies used at the annual meeting shall be secured for that
meeting only, or any adjournment thereof, and shall be dated, and if not dated
by the shareholder, shall be dated as of the date of receipt thereof.  No
officer or employee of this Bank may act as proxy.

SECTION 1.06.  QUORUM.  Holders of record of a majority of the shares of the
capital stock of the Bank, eligible to be voted, present either in person or by
proxy, shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at any meeting
of shareholders, but shareholders present at any meeting and constituting less
than a quorum may, without further notice, adjourn the meeting from time to time
until a quorum is obtained.  A majority of the votes cast shall decide every
question or matter submitted to the shareholders at any meeting, unless
otherwise provided by law or by the Articles of Association.

                                   ARTICLE II
                                   DIRECTORS

SECTION 2.01.  MANAGEMENT OF THE BANK.  The business of the Bank shall be
managed by the Board of Directors.  Each director of the Bank shall be the
beneficial owner of a substantial number of shares of BANC ONE CORPORATION and
shall be employed either in the position of Chief Executive Officer or active
leadership within his or her business, professional or community interest which
shall be located within the geographic area in which the Bank operates, or as
an executive officer of the Bank.  A director shall not be eligible for
nomination and re-election as a director of the Bank if such person's executive
or leadership position within his or her business, professional or community
interests which qualifies such person as a director of Bank terminates.  The
age of 70 is the mandatory retirement age as a director of the Bank.  When a
person's eligibility as director of the Bank terminates, whether because of
change in share ownership, position, residency or age, within 30 days after
such termination, such person shall submit his resignation as a director to be
effective at the pleasure of the Board provided, however, that in no event
shall such person be nominated or elected as a director.  Provided, however,
following a person's retirement or resignation as a director because of the age
limitations herein set forth with respect to election or re-election as a
director, such person may, in special or unusual circumstances, and at the
discretion of the Board, be elected by the directors as a Director Emeritus of
the Bank for a limited period of time.  A Director Emeritus shall have the
right to participate in board meetings but shall be without the power to vote
and shall be subject to re-election by the Board at its organizational meeting
following the Bank's annual meeting of shareholders.

SECTION 2.02.  QUALIFICATIONS.  Each director shall have the qualification
prescribed by law.  No person elected a director may exercise any of the powers
of his office until he has taken the oath of such office.





                                     - 13 -
<PAGE>   14

SECTION 2.03.  TERM OF OFFICE/VACANCIES.  A director shall hold office until
the annual meeting for the year in which his term expires and until his
successor shall be elected and shall qualify, subject, however, to his prior
death, resignation, or removal from office. Whenever any vacancy shall occur
among the directors, the remaining directors shall constitute the directors of
the Bank until such vacancy is filled by the remaining directors, and any
director so appointed shall hold office for the unexpired term of his or her
successor.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, each director shall hold office and
serve at the pleasure of the Board.

SECTION 2.04.  ORGANIZATION MEETING.  The directors elected by the share-
holders shall meet for organization of the new board at the time fixed by the
presiding officer of the annual meeting.  If at the time fixed for such meeting
there is no quorum present, the Directors in attendance may adjourn from time
to time until a quorum is obtained.  A majority of the number of Directors
elected by the shareholders shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of
business.

SECTION 2.05.  REGULAR MEETINGS.  The regular meetings of the Board of
Directors shall be held on the third Monday of each calendar month excluding
March and July, which meeting will be held at 4:00 p.m.  When any regular
meeting of the Board falls on a holiday, the meeting shall be held on such
other day as the Board may previously designate or should the Board fail to so
designate, on such day as the Chairman of the Board of President may fix.
Whenever a quorum is not present, the directors in attendance shall adjourn the
meeting to a time not later than the date fixed by the Bylaws for the next
succeeding regular meeting of the Board.

SECTION 2.06.  SPECIAL MEETINGS.  Special meetings of the Board of Directors
shall be held at the call of the Chairman of the Board or President, or at the
request of two or more Directors.  Any special meeting may be held at such
place in Franklin County, Ohio, and at such time as may be fixed in the call.
Written or oral notice shall be given to each Director not later than the day
next preceding the day on which special meeting is to be held, which notice may
be waived in writing.





                                     - 14 -
<PAGE>   15
The presence of a Director at any meeting of the Board shall be deemed a waiver
of notice thereof by him.  Whenever a quorum is not present the Directors in
attendance shall adjourn the special meeting from day to day until a quorum is
obtained.

SECTION 2.07.  QUORUM.  A majority of the Directors shall constitute a quorum
at any meeting, except when otherwise provided by law; but a lesser number may
adjourn any meeting, from time-to-time, and the meeting may be held, as
adjourned, without further notice.  When, however, less than a quorum as herein
defined, but at least one-third and not less than two of the authorized number
of Directors are present at a meeting of the Directors, business of the Bank
may be transacted and matters before the Board approved or disapproved by the
unanimous vote of the Directors present.

SECTION 2.08.  COMPENSATION.  Each member of the Board of Directors shall
receive such fees for, and transportation expenses incident to, attendance at
Board and Board Committee Meetings and such fees for service as a Director
irrespective of meeting attendance as from time to time are fixed by resolution
of the Board; provided, however, that payment hereunder shall not be made to a
Director for meetings attended and/or Board service which are not for the
Bank's sole benefit and which are concurrent and duplicative with meetings
attended or board service for an affiliate of the Bank for which the Director
receives payment; and provided further, that payment hereunder shall not be
made in the case of any Director in the regular employment of the Bank or of
one of its affiliates.

SECTION 2.09.  EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE.  There shall be a standing committee of the
Board of Directors known as the Executive Committee which shall possess and
exercise, when the Board is not in session, all powers of the Board that may
lawfully be delegated.  The Executive Committee shall also exercise the powers
of the Board of Directors in accordance with the Provisions of the "Employees
Retirement Plan" and the "Agreement and Declaration of Trust" as the same now





                                     - 15 -
<PAGE>   16
exist or may be amended hereafter.  The Executive Committee shall consist of
not fewer than four board members, including the Chairman of the Board and
President of the Bank, one of whom, as hereinafter required by these By-laws,
shall be the Chief Executive Officer.  The other members of the Committee shall
be appointed by the Chairman of the Board or by the President, with the
approval of the Board and shall continue as members of the Executive Committee
until their successors are appointed, provided, however, that any member of the
Executive Committee may be removed by the Board upon a majority vote thereof at
any regular or special meeting of the Board.  The Chairman or President shall
fill any vacancy in the Committee by the appointment of another Director,
subject to the approval of the Board of Directors.  The regular meetings of the
Executive Committee shall be held on a regular basis as scheduled by the Board
of Directors.  Special meetings of the Executive Committee shall be held at the
call of the Chairman or President or any two members thereof at such time or
times as may be designated.  In the event of the absence of any member or
members of the Committee, the presiding member may appoint a member or members
of the Board to fill the place or places of such absent member or members to
serve during such absence.  Not fewer than three members of the Committee must
be present at any meeting of the Executive Committee to constitute a quorum,
provided, however that with regard to any matters on which the Executive
Committee shall vote, a majority of the Committee members present at the
meeting at which a vote is to be taken shall not be officers of the Bank and,
provided further, that if, at any meeting at which the Chairman of the Board
and President are both present, Committee members who are not officers are not
in the majority, then the Chairman of the Board or President, which ever of
such officers is not also the Chief Executive Officer, shall not be eligible to
vote at such meeting and shall not be recognized for purposes of determining if
a quorum is present at such meeting.  When neither the Chairman of the Board
nor President are present, the Committee shall appoint a presiding officer.
The Executive Committee shall keep a record of its proceedings and report its
proceedings and the action taken by it to the Board of Directors.

SECTION 2.10  COMMUNITY REINVESTMENT ACT AND COMPLIANCE POLICY COMMITTEE.
There shall be a standing committee of the Board of Directors known as the
Community Reinvestment Act and Compliance Policy Committee the duties of which
shall be, at least once in each calendar year, to review, develop and recommend
policies and programs related to the Bank's Community Reinvestment Act
Compliance and regulatory compliance with all existing statutes, rules and
regulations affecting the Bank under state and federal law.  Such Committee
shall provide and promptly make a full report of such review of current Bank
policies with regard to Community Reinvestment Act and regulatory compliance in
writing to the Board, with recommendations, if any, which may be necessary to
correct any unsatisfactory conditions.  Such Committee may, in its discretion,
in fulfilling its duties, utilize the Community Reinvestment Act officers of
the Bank, Banc One Ohio Corporation and Banc One Corporation and may engage
outside Community Reinvestment Act experts, as approved by the Board, to
review, develop and recommend policies and programs as herein required.  The
Community Reinvestment Act and regulatory compliance policies and procedures
established and the recommendations made shall be consistent with, and shall
supplement, the Community Reinvestment Act and regulatory compliance programs,
policies and procedures of Banc One Corporation and Banc One Ohio Corporation.
The Community Reinvestment Act and Compliance Policy Committee shall consist of
not fewer than four board members, one of whom shall be the Chief Executive
Officer and a majority of whom are not officers of the Bank.  Not fewer than
three members of the Committee, a majority of whom are not officers of the
Bank, must be present to constitute a quorum.  The Chairman of the Board or
President of the Bank, whichever is not the Chief Executive Officer, shall be
an ex officio member of the Community Reinvestment Act and Compliance Policy
Committee.  The Community Reinvestment Act and Compliance Policy Committee,
whose chairman shall be appointed by the Board, shall keep a record of its
proceedings and report its proceedings and the action taken by it to the Board
of Directors.

Schedule RC-R--Regulatory Capital

<TABLE>
This schedule must be completed by all banks as follows: Banks that reported total assets of $1 billion or more in Schedule RC, item
12, for June 30, 1995, must complete items 2 through 9 and Memoranda items 1 and 2. Banks with assets of less than $1 billion must
complete items 1 through 3 below or Schedule RC-R in its entirety, depending on their response to item 1 below.

<S>                                                                            <C>                    <C>

1. Test for determining the extent to which Schedule RC-R must be completed. To be                    ---------------------     
   completed only by banks with total assets of less than $1 billion. Indicate in the                 | YES             NO |    
   appropriate box at the right whether the bank has total capital greater than or        ---------------------------------     
   equal to eight percent of adjusted total assets....................................... | RCFD 6056 |      |      |      | 1.
                                                                                          ---------------------------------
     For purposes of this test, adjusted total assets equals total assets less cash, U.S. Treasuries, U.S. Government
   agency obligations, and 80 percent of U.S. Government-sponsored agency obligations plus the allowance for
   loan and lease losses and selected off-balance sheet items as reported on Schedule RC-L (see instructions).
     If the box marked YES has been checked, then the bank only has to complete items 2 and 3 below. If the box marked
   NO has been checked, the bank must complete the remainder of this schedule.
     A NO response to item 1 does not necessarily mean that the bank's actual risk-based capital ratio is less than
   eight percent or that the bank is not in compliance with the risk-based capital guidelines.

The management of the reporting bank may, if it wishes, submit a brief
narrative statement on the amounts reported in the Reports of Condition and
Income. This optional statement will be made available to the public, along
with the publicly available data in the Reports of Condition and Income, in
response to any request for individual bank report data. However, the
information reported in column A and in all of Memorandum item 1 of Schedule
RC-N is regarded as confidential and will not be released to the public. BANKS
CHOOSING TO SUBMIT THE NARRATIVE STATEMENT SHOULD ENSURE THAT THE STATEMENT
DOES NOT CONTAIN THE NAMES OR OTHER INDENTIFICATIONS OF INDIVIDUAL BANK
CUSTOMERS, REFERENCES TO THE AMOUNTS REPORTED IN THE CONFIDENTIAL ITEMS IN
SCHEDULE RC-N, OR ANY OTHER INFORMATION THAT THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO HAVE MADE
PUBLIC OR THAT WOULD COMPROMISE THE PRIVACY OF THEIR CUSTOMERS. Banks choosing
not to make a statement may check the "No comment" box below and should make no
entries of any kind in the space provided for the narrative statement; i.e., DO
NOT enter in this space such phrases as "No statement," "Not Applicable," "N/A,"
"No comment," and "None."

The optional statement must be entered on this sheet. The statement should not
exceed 100 words. Further, regardless of the number of words, the statement
must not exceed 750 characters, including punctuation, indentation, and
standard spacing between words and sentences. If any submission should exceed
750 characters, as defined, it will be truncated at 750 characters with no
notice to the submitting bank and the truncated statement will appear as the
bank's statement both on agency computerized records and in computer-file
releases to the public.

All information furnished by the bank in the narrative statement must be
accurate and not misleading. Appropriate efforts shall be taken by the
submitting bank to ensure the statement's accuracy. The statement must be
signed, in the space provided below, by a senior officer of the bank who
thereby attests to its accuracy.

If, subsequent to the original submission, material changes are submitted for
the data reported in the Reports of Condition and Income, the existing narrative
statement will be deleted from the files, and from disclosure; the bank, at its
option, may replace it with a statement, under signature, appropriate to the
amended data.

The optional narrative statement will appear in agency records and in release
to the public exactly as submitted (or amended as described in the preceding
paragraph) by the management of the bank (except for the truncation of
statements exceeding the 750-character limit described above). THE STATEMENT
WILL NOT BE EDITED OR SCREENED IN ANY WAY BY THE SUPERVISORY AGENCIES FOR
ACCURACY OR RELEVANCE.  DISCLOSURE OF THE STATEMENT SHALL NOT SIGNIFY THAT ANY
FEDERAL SUPERVISORY AGENCY HAS VERIFIED OR CONFIRMED THE ACCURACY OF THE
INFORMATION CONTAINED THEREIN. A STATEMENT TO THIS EFFECT WILL APPEAR ON ANY
PUBLIC RELEASE OF THE OPTIONAL STATEMENT SUBMITTED BY THE MANAGEMENT OF THE
REPORTING BANK.

The following information is required by Public Laws 90-44 and 102-242, but does not constitute a part of the Report of Condition.
With each Report of Condition, these Laws require all banks to furnish a report of all loans or other extensions of credit to their
executive officers made since the date of the previous Report of Condition. Data regarding individual loans or other extensions of
credit are not required. If no such loans or other extensions of credit were made during the period, insert "none" against subitem
(a). (Exclude the first $15,000 of indebtedness of each executive officer under bank credit card plan.) See Sections 215.2 and 215.3
of Title 12 of the Code of Federal Regulations (Federal Reserve Board Regulation 0) for the definitions of "executive officer" and
"extension of credit," respectively. Exclude loans and other extensions of credit to directors and principal shareholders who are
not executive officers.
