Item  1.  Business

  (a) General Development of Business

  On January 12, 1999, the Company, formerly McKesson Corporation
("McKesson"), completed a merger with HBO & Company ("HBOC"), a leading health
care information technology company, by exchanging 177 million shares of
Company common stock for all of the issued and outstanding shares of common
stock of HBOC (the "HBOC Transaction"). Each share of HBOC was exchanged for
0.37 of a share of Company common stock. The Company was renamed McKesson
HBOC, Inc. ("McKessonHBOC," the "Company" or the "Registrant"). The merger was
structured as a tax-free reorganization and was accounted for as a pooling of
interests.

  The Company is a leading health care supply management company in North
America. In addition, the Company provides software solutions, technological
innovation and comprehensive services to the health care industry and, through
its Water Products segment, processes and markets pure drinking water.

  The Company's mission is to be the world leader in health care supply
management and health care information technologies across the entire
continuum of health care, through the operation of market-leading businesses
in pharmaceutical and medical-surgical distribution and information technology
and services for health care providers and payors.

Recent Acquisitions and Dispositions

  McKessonHBOC has undertaken numerous strategic initiatives in recent years
to further focus the Company on its core health care businesses and enhance
its competitive position. These include the following significant acquisitions

     ("RedLine"), a distributor of medical supplies and services to the
     extended-care industry, including long-term homecare supply, for

     common stock after application of the exchange ratio of 0.37 shares of
     Company common stock for each share of HBOC common stock (the "Exchange
     Ratio")).

  .  In October 1998, the Company acquired IMNET Systems, Inc. ("IMNET"), a

     Armor All Products Corporation ("Armor All"), a non-health care
     business.

  (b) Financial Information About Industry Segments

  Financial information for the three years ended March 31, 1999 is included
in Financial Note 18 to the consolidated financial statements, "Segments of
Business," appearing on pages F-70 to F-72 to this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Matters Relating to Restatement of Financial Results

  In its April 22, 1999, press release the Company preliminarily reported
consolidated net income (loss) of ($60.4) million and $96.8 million, or
($0.22) and $0.35 per diluted share in the quarters ended March 31, 1999 and
1998, respectively, and $237.1 million and $330.4 million, or $0.84 and $1.19
per diluted share in the fiscal years ended March 31, 1999 and 1998.

  On April 28, 1999, the Company announced that, during the course of its
year-end financial audit process, the Company determined that certain software
sales transactions (aggregating $26.2 million for the fourth quarter ended
March 31, 1999 and $16.0 million in the prior quarters of the fiscal year)
were improperly recorded because they were subject to contingencies and had
been reversed. It also announced that the audit process was ongoing. The Audit
Committee of the Company's Board of Directors subsequently initiated an
investigation into this matter. On May 25, 1999, the Company announced that,
as a result of information developed through its year-end internal and
external audit process and Audit Committee review, additional instances of
improper revenue recognition had been found, that further downward revision
would be required of the results for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1999, as
well as of quarterly results during the fiscal year, and that prior years'
results of the Health Care Information Technology business unit (HBOC) could
also require restatement.

  As a result of the findings of the investigation, the Company's consolidated
financial statements, which give retroactive effect to the HBOC Transaction
and other acquisitions completed by McKesson and HBOC in fiscal year 1999
accounted for under the pooling of interests method, reflect amounts for HBOC
which have been restated from those previously reported by HBOC.

                                       4

  As a result of the restatement of previously reported amounts for HBOC,
revised consolidated financial information for the Company is as follows (in
millions, except per share amounts):

 Competition

  In every area of operations, the Company's distribution businesses face
strong competition both in price and service from national, regional and local
full-line, short-line and specialty wholesalers, service merchandisers, self-
warehousing chains, and from manufacturers engaged in direct distribution. The
Health Care Supply Management segment faces competition from various other
service providers and from pharmaceutical and other health care manufacturers
(as well as other potential customers of the Health Care Supply Management
segment) which may from time to time decide to develop, for their own internal
needs, supply management capabilities which are provided by the Health Care
Supply Management segment and other competing service providers. Price,
quality of service, and, in some cases, convenience to the customer are
generally the principal competitive elements in the Health Care Supply
Management segment.

information processing needs of hospitals. Management believes a substantial
and sustained commitment to such research and development ("R&D") is important
to the long-term success of the business.

  Investment in software development, including both R&D expense as well as
capitalized software, has increased as the Health Care Information Technology
segment has addressed new software applications and enhanced existing products
for installed systems. The Health Care Information Technology segment

                                       9

expensed $114.7 million (7.5% of revenue) for R&D activities during fiscal
1999, as compared to $112.5 million (7.9% of revenue) and $103.0 million (9.1%
of revenue) during 1998 and 1997, respectively. The Health Care Information
Technology segment capitalized 31%, 26% and 23% of its R&D expenditures in
1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

<PAGE>

claims. The Company does not consider any particular patent, license,
franchise or concession to be material to the business of the Water Products
segment.

 Competition

Sierra Springs (Northern California and Texas) (owned by Suntory International
Corporation); Crystal Geyser (nationally distributed); Evian (nationally
distributed and owned by Groupe Danone, S.A.), and private label brands. This
operation faces significant competition in both price and service in all
aspects of its business.

  (2) Other Information About the Business

  Customers--No material part of the business is dependent upon a single or a
very few customers, the loss of any one of which could have a material adverse
effect on the Company or any of its business segments.

  Environmental Legislation--The Company sold its chemical distribution
operations in fiscal 1987. In connection with the disposition of those
operations, the Company retained responsibility for certain environmental
obligations and has entered into agreements with the Environmental Protection
Agency and certain states pursuant to which it is or may be required to
conduct environmental assessments and cleanups at several closed sites. These
matters are described further in Item 3 "Legal Proceedings" on pages 11 to 15
of this report. Other than any capital expenditures which may be required in
connection with those matters, the Company does not anticipate making
substantial capital expenditures for environmental control facilities or to
comply with environmental laws and regulations in the future. The amount of
capital expenditures expended by the Company for environmental compliance was
not material in fiscal 1999 and is not expected to be material in the next
fiscal year.

  Employees--At March 31, 1999, the Company employed approximately 24,600
persons.

  (d) Financial Information About Foreign and Domestic Operations and Export
  Sales

  Information as to foreign operations is included in Financial Note 18 to the
consolidated financial statements "Segments of Business" appearing on pages F-
70 to F-72 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Item 2. Properties

  Because of the nature of the Company's principal businesses, plant,
warehousing, office and other facilities are operated in widely dispersed
locations. The warehouses are typically owned or leased on a long-term basis.
The Company considers its operating properties to be in satisfactory condition
and adequate to meet its needs for the next several years without making
capital expenditures materially higher than historical levels. Information as
to material lease commitments is included in Financial Note 13 to the
consolidated financial statements, "Lease Obligations" appearing on pages F-60
to F-61 of this Form 10-K Report.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

  On April 28, 1999, the Company announced that, during the course of its
year-end financial audit process, the Company determined that software sales
transactions (aggregating $26.2 million for the fourth quarter ended March 31,
1999 and $16.0 million in the prior quarters of the fiscal year) were
improperly recorded because they were subject to contingencies and had been
reversed. It also announced that the audit process was ongoing. The Audit
Committee of the Company's Board of Directors subsequently initiated an
investigation into this matter. On May 25, 1999, the Company announced that as
a result of information developed through its continuing year-end

                                      11
<PAGE>

internal and external audit process and Audit Committee review, additional
instances of improper revenue recognition had been found, that further
downward revision would be required of the results for the fiscal year ended
March 31, 1999, as well as quarterly results during the fiscal year, and that
prior years' results of the Health Care Information Technology Business unit
("HBOC") could also require restatement.

  Since the Company's announcement on April 28, 1999, and as of July 6, 1999,
fifty-three class action lawsuits, three derivative actions, and two
individual actions have been filed against the Company, and certain current or
former officers and directors of the Company (the "Defendants"). One of the
actions also names as defendants Bear, Stearns & Company, Inc., and Arthur
Andersen LLP. Fifty-three of the actions were filed in Federal Court (the
"Federal Actions") alleging violations of the federal securities laws. Of
these, fifty-two were filed in the United States District Court for the
Northern District of California, and one was filed in the Northern District of
Illinois. Of the fifty-two filed in the Northern District of California,
fifty-one are class actions and one is a derivative action. The action filed
in the Northern District of Illinois is a class action. The Company expects
that the Federal Actions, with the exception of the derivative action, will be
consolidated into a single action, and the Company will not be required to
respond until after the filing of a consolidated complaint.

  The class actions are purportedly brought on behalf of a class of the
Company's shareholders that varies according to the complaint, with July 16,
1996 being the earliest date for shareholders who purchased or acquired the
Company's shares and May 25, 1999 being the latest date. In general, these
actions allege that the Company and certain officers or directors made false
and misleading statements concerning the Company's future prospects and
financial results in violation of the federal securities laws. Plaintiffs seek
damages in an unspecified amount. Plaintiffs also request pre-judgment and
post-judgment interest, costs and attorneys fees.

  Five actions have also been filed in various state courts (the "State
Actions"). Of these, two are derivative actions, one filed in the Chancery
Court of the State of Delaware (Fine v. McCall, et. al.), and the other in
California State Court in San Francisco (Mitchell v. McCall, et. al). Two
individual actions have also been filed, one in California State Court in San
Francisco (Yurick v. McKesson et. al.), and the other, for which a summons has
issued but a complaint not yet filed, in the Court of Common Pleas, Chester
County, Pennsylvania (Grant v. McKesson). One purported class action, on
behalf of a class of shareholders of McKesson Corporation at the time of the
merger with HBOC, has been filed in the Delaware Court of Chancery. The State
Actions seek unspecified damages for alleged breaches of fiduciary duty and
other causes of action arising out of the events that led to the Company's
need to revise its financial statements. The Company is currently required to
respond to the derivative action in Delaware by July 30, 1999 and the actions
in California by July 26, 1999. The Company is not currently required to
respond to the action filed in Pennsylvania.

  One additional Federal Action has been filed in the Northern District of
Georgia, but that action names only two former officers, and does not name the
Company; and one additional class action has been filed in the Delaware Court
of Chancery against HBOC, Inc. and former officers and directors of a company
acquired by HBOC in 1998, alleging breach of fiduciary duties by such parties
in connection with such sale, and is brought on behalf of the shareholders of
the acquired company.

  In addition, the United States Attorney's Office for the Northern District
of California and the San Francisco District Office of the United States
Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") have also commenced investigations
in connection with the matters relating to the restatement of previously
reported amounts for HBOC described above. The SEC has advised the Company
that its inquiry should not be construed as an indication by the SEC or its
staff that any violations of law have occurred.

  The Company does not believe it is feasible to predict or determine the
outcome or resolution of these proceedings, or to estimate the amounts of, or
potential range of, loss with respect to these proceedings. In addition, the
timing of the final resolution of these proceedings is uncertain. The range of
possible resolutions of these proceedings could include judgments against the
Company or settlements that could require substantial payments by the Company
which could have a material adverse impact on the Company's financial
position, results of operations and cash flows.

                                      12

  The Company currently is a defendant in numerous civil antitrust actions
filed since 1993 in federal and state courts by retail pharmacies. The federal
cases have been coordinated for pretrial purposes in the United States
District Court in the Northern District of Illinois and are known as MDL 997.
MDL 997 consists of a consolidated class action (the "Federal Class Action")
as well as approximately 109 additional actions brought by approximately 3,500
individual retail, chain and supermarket pharmacies (the "Individual
Actions"). There are numerous other defendants in these actions including
several pharmaceutical manufacturers and several other wholesale distributors.
These cases allege, in essence, that the defendants have violated the Sherman
Act by conspiring to fix the prices of brand name pharmaceuticals sold to
plaintiffs at artificially high, and non-competitive levels, especially as
compared with the prices charged to mail order pharmacies, managed care
organizations and other institutional buyers. On January 19, 1999, the
District Court entered its written opinion and judgment granting defendants'
motion for a directed verdict. On July 13, 1999, the Seventh Circuit affirmed
the District Court's judgement as to the dismissal of the claims against the
wholesalers. The Individual Actions, which are still pending in the Northern
District of Illinois for pre-trial purposes, will be remanded to their
original transferor jurisdictions for trial. The wholesalers' motion for
partial summary judgment that they should not be liable for any damages
resulting from drugs sold prior to four years from the October 1997 amended
complaints in those cases was granted. Most of the individual cases brought by
chain stores have been settled.

  The currently pending state court antitrust cases against the Company are in
California, Alabama, Mississippi and Tennessee. The state cases are based
essentially on the same facts alleged in the Federal Class Action and
Individual Actions and assert violations of state antitrust and/or unfair
competition laws. The case in California (referred to as Coordinated Special
Proceeding, Pharmaceutical Cases I, II & III) is pending in Superior Court for
the State of California (San Francisco County). A class of retail pharmacies
has been certified and the case is trailing MDL 997. In the Alabama case
(Durrett, et al. v. The Upjohn Co. et al.), the Supreme Court has recently
held that the Alabama state antitrust statute at issue does not reach the
conduct alleged in the complaint. The case in Mississippi (Montgomery Drug Co.
et al. v. The Upjohn Co. et al.) is pending in the Chancery Court of Prentiss
County, Mississippi. The Chancery Court has held that the case may not be
maintained as a class action. The Tennessee case, filed in Knoxville, is a
class action on behalf of consumers who purchased brand-name drugs from retail
stores in fourteen states. The claims, brought under Tennessee law, allege
deceptive trade practices, conspiracy to fix prices, price discrimination, and
fraudulent concealment. On July 6, 1998, the court conditionally certified the
case as a multi-state class action. A motion to dismiss the complaint is
pending on the grounds, among others, that (i) plaintiff class members are
indirect purchasers and are not entitled to bring an action against the
wholesalers and manufacturers and (ii) the state antitrust statues on which
the class relied do not apply to interstate commerce. A motion is also pending
for permission to file an interlocutory appeal from the order denying
defendants' motion to vacate the order granting conditional class
certification.

  In each of the cases, plaintiffs seek remedies in the form of injunctive
relief and unquantified monetary damages, and attorneys fees and costs.
Plaintiffs in the California cases also seek restitution. In addition, trebled
damages are sought in the Federal Class Action, the Individual Actions, the
California case and the Tennessee case and statutory penalties of $500 per
violation are sought in the Mississippi and Alabama cases. The Company
believes it has meritorious defenses to the allegations made against it and
intends to vigorously defend itself in all of these actions. In addition, the
Company has entered into a judgment sharing agreement with certain
pharmaceutical manufacturer defendants, which provides generally that the
Company (together with the other wholesale distributor defendants) will be
held harmless by such pharmaceutical manufacturer defendants and will be
indemnified against the costs of adverse judgments, if any, against the
wholesaler and manufacturers in these or similar actions, in excess of $1
million in the aggregate per wholesale distributor defendant.

  In January 1997, the Company and twelve pharmaceutical manufacturers (the
"Manufacturer Defendants") were named as defendants in the matter of FoxMeyer
Health Corporation vs. McKesson, et. al. filed in the District Court in Dallas
County, Texas ("the Texas Action"). Plaintiff (the parent corporation of
FoxMeyer Drug Company and FoxMeyer Corporation collectively, "FoxMeyer
Corporation") alleges that, among other things, the Company (i) defrauded
Plaintiff, (ii) competed unfairly and tortiously interfered with FoxMeyer
Corporation's business operations, and (iii) conspired with the Manufacturer
Defendants, all in order to destroy FoxMeyer Corporation's

                                      13
<PAGE>

business, restrain trade and monopolize the marketplace, and allow the Company
to purchase that business at a distressed price. Plaintiff seeks relief
against all defendants in the form of compensatory damages of at least
$400 million, punitive damages, attorneys fees and costs. The Company answered
the complaint, denying the allegations, and removed the case to federal
bankruptcy court in Dallas.

  In March 1997, the Company and the Manufacturer Defendants filed a complaint
in intervention against FoxMeyer Health (now known as Avatex Corporation) in
the action filed against Avatex by the FoxMeyer Unsecured Creditors Committee
in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware. The
complaint in intervention seeks declaratory relief and an order enjoining
Avatex from pursuing the Texas Action.

  In November 1998, the Delaware court granted the Company's motion for
summary judgment as to the first three counts asserted in the Texas Action on
the ground of judicial estoppel. A renewed motion for summary judgment on the
four remaining counts of Avatex's complaint in the Texas Action is pending
before the Delaware court. In addition, the Company filed an amended complaint
adding the Trustee and debtors as defendants. Based on the order granting
summary judgment as to the first three counts, the Texas bankruptcy court
dismissed those counts with prejudice and ordered the Texas Action remanded to
state court. On November 30, 1998, the Company and the other Defendants filed
a notice of appeal to the District Court from the remand ruling as well as the
August, 1997 ruling denying defendants' motion to transfer the Texas Action to
Delaware. In addition, the Company has filed a counterclaim and cross-claim
against Avatex and Mssrs. Estrin, Butler and Massman in the Texas Action,
asserting various claims of misrepresentation and breach of contract. The
District Court upheld the remand order and denied as moot the appeal from the
denying transfer. A cross-appeal by Avatex from the order dismissing the three
counts with prejudice is still pending. The Company and several of the other
defendants have appealed to the Court of Appeals the ruling upholding the
order denying transfer.

  The Company has been named as a defendant, or has received from customers
tenders of defense, in approximately forty pending cases alleging injury due
to the diet drug combination of fenfluramine or dexfenfluramine and
phentermine. All of the cases are pending in the state courts of Alabama,
California, Idaho, Michigan, New Mexico and New York. The Company has tendered
the cases to the manufacturers of the drugs and is currently defending the
cases pending resolution of its negotiations with the manufacturers.

  Certain subsidiaries of the Company (i.e. MGM and RedLine, collectively, the
"Subsidiaries") are defendants in approximately forty cases in which
plaintiffs claim that they were injured due to exposure, over many years, to
the latex proteins in gloves manufactured by numerous manufacturers and
distributed by a number of distributors, including the Subsidiaries. Efforts
to resolve tenders of defense to their suppliers are continuing. The
Subsidiaries' insurers are providing coverage for these cases, subject to the
applicable deductibles.

  There are six state court class actions in New York, Ohio, Oklahoma,
Pennsylvania, South Carolina and Texas filed against MGM on behalf of all
health care workers in those states who suffered accidental needle sticks that
exposed them to potentially contaminated bodily fluids, arising from MGM's
distribution of allegedly defective syringes. MGM's suppliers of the syringes
are also named defendants in these actions. All cases except the Texas case
are in the early stages of discovery. The Texas court held a class
certification hearing on June 1, 1999, and stayed its ruling on certification
pending a decision from the Texas Supreme Court on the issue of whether a
products liability class action is proper where issues of comparative fault
exist. These cases have been tendered to MGM's suppliers, their insurers, and
to MGM's insurer. The Company has filed a declaratory relief action in
California against its major supplier's insurer to obtain a determination of
rights as an additional insured under the supplier's insurance policy.

  Salomon Smith Barney ("SSB") filed an action against McKesson and HBOC on
December 9, 1998 in federal district court in New York City claiming
entitlement to $50 million in fees in connection with the January 12, 1999
merger of the two companies. SSB has sued on the theories of breach of
contract, quantum meruit and unjust enrichment; it has also sued HBOC for
tortious interference with contract, tortious interference with business
relations, and prima facie tort. It also seeks compensatory damages from HBOC
for tortiously interfering with its contract and relations with McKesson. SSB
also seeks a judgment requiring defendants to

                                      14
<PAGE>

indemnify SSB pursuant to the contracts. On May 12, 1999 defendants' motions
to stay the action were denied; the Company's motion to dismiss was denied,
and HBOC's motion to dismiss was partially granted as to some of the tort
claims against it. On June 21, 1999, defendants filed their answer and
counterclaims against SSB for violations of Section 10(b) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934; breach of fiduciary duty; negligence; breach of
contract; misappropriation of trade secrets; and rescission and restitution.
Trial is scheduled for October 1999.

  Primarily as a result of the operation of its former chemical businesses,
which were divested in fiscal 1987, the Company is involved in various matters
pursuant to environmental laws and regulations:

  The Company has received claims and demands from governmental agencies
relating to investigative and remedial action purportedly required to address
environmental conditions alleged to exist at five sites where the Company (or
entities acquired by the Company) formerly conducted operations; and the
Company, by administrative order or otherwise, has agreed to take certain
actions at those sites, including soil and groundwater remediation.

  The current estimate (determined by the Company's environmental staff, in
consultation with outside environmental specialists and counsel) of the upper
limit of the Company's range of reasonably possible remediation costs for
these five sites is approximately $17 million, net of approximately $3.5
million which third parties have agreed to pay in settlement or which the
Company expects, based either on agreements or nonrefundable contributions
which are ongoing, to be contributed by third parties. The $17 million is
expected to be paid out between April 1999 and March 2028 and is included in
the Company's recorded environmental liabilities at March 31, 1999.

  In addition, the Company has been designated as a potentially responsible
party (PRP) by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency under the
Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act of 1980,
as amended (the "Superfund" law), for environmental assessment and cleanup
costs as the result of the Company's alleged disposal of hazardous substances
at 19 Superfund sites. With respect to each of these Superfund sites, numerous
other PRP's have similarly been designated and, while the current state of the
law potentially imposes joint and several liability upon PRPs, as a practical
matter costs of these sites are typically shared with other PRPs. The
Company's estimated liability at those 19 Superfund sites is approximately $2
million. The aggregate settlements and costs paid by the Company in Superfund
matters to date has not been significant. The $2 million is included in the
Company's recorded environmental liabilities at March 31, 1999.

  The potential costs to the Company related to environmental matters is
uncertain due to such factors as: the unknown magnitude of possible pollution
and cleanup costs; the complexity and evolving nature of governmental laws and
regulations and their interpretations; the timing, varying costs and
effectiveness of alternate cleanup technologies; the determination of the

                               FINANCIAL REVIEW

GENERAL

  Management's discussion and analysis, referred to as the Financial Review,
is intended to assist in the understanding and assessment of significant
changes and trends related to the results of operations and financial
condition of McKesson HBOC, Inc., together with its subsidiaries. This
discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Company's
consolidated financial statements and accompanying Financial Notes.

HBOC TRANSACTION

  On January 12, 1999, the Company, formerly McKesson Corporation
("McKesson"), completed a merger with HBO & Company ("HBOC"), a leading health
care information technology company, by exchanging 177 million shares of
Company common stock for all of the issued and outstanding shares of common
stock of HBOC (the "HBOC Transaction"). Each share of HBOC was exchanged for
0.37 of a share of Company common stock. The Company was renamed McKesson
HBOC, Inc. ("McKesson HBOC" or "the Company"). The merger was structured as a
tax-free reorganization and was accounted for as a pooling of interests. The
historical financial statements give retroactive effect to the HBOC
Transaction and other acquisitions completed by McKesson and HBOC accounted
for under the pooling of interests method.

FACTORS AFFECTING FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

  In addition to historical information, management's discussion and analysis
includes certain forward-looking statements regarding events and financial
trends which may affect the Company's future operating results and financial
position. Such statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could
cause the Company's actual results and financial position to differ
materially. Also, words such as "estimates", "expects", "anticipates",
"plans", "believes" and similar expressions identify forward-looking
statements involving risks and uncertainties. These include, but are not
limited to: the resolution or outcome of the pending litigation and government
investigations relating to the previously announced financial restatement (the
"Pending Proceedings"); the Company's ability to successfully integrate and
operate acquired businesses and the risks associated with such businesses,
including the merger that created McKessonHBOC; the changing U.S. health care
environment, including potential changes in private and governmental
reimbursement for health care services, the method by which such services are
delivered, legislation or regulations governing such services or mandated
benefits, and changes in manufacturers' pricing or distribution policies; the
ability of the Company's Health Care Information Technology business to retain
existing customers and to attract new customers in light of rapid
technological advances and changing business models, slowing of demand for
software products because of Year 2000 concerns, and challenges in integrating
the Company's software products; the effect of the Pending Proceedings on the
Company's ability to manage its businesses and to attract and retain employees
and management; and the Company's ability and the ability of the Company's
vendors and customers to complete the necessary actions to achieve a Year 2000
conversion for computer systems and applications.


  These and other risks and uncertainties are described herein or in the
Company's other public documents. Readers are cautioned not to place undue
reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date
hereof. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly release the result of
any revisions to these forward-looking statements to reflect events or
circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of
unanticipated events.

BUSINESS SEGMENTS

  The Company conducts its operations through three operating business
segments: Health Care Supply Management, Health Care Information Technology
and Water Products. The Health Care Supply Management segment includes the
Company's U.S. pharmaceutical, health care products and medical-surgical
supplies distribution businesses. U.S. Health Care Supply Management
operations also include marketing and other support services to pharmaceutical
manufacturers, the manufacture and sale of automated pharmaceutical

                         FINANCIAL REVIEW--(Continued)

dispensing systems for hospitals and retail pharmacists, consulting and
outsourcing services to pharmacies, and distribution of first-aid products to
industrial and commercial customers. Health Care Supply Management also
includes the Company's international distribution operations (including
operations in Canada and an equity interest in a Mexican distribution
business).

  The Health Care Information Technology segment delivers enterprise-wide
patient care, clinical, financial, managed care, payor and strategic
management software solutions, as well as networking technologies, electronic
commerce, outsourcing and other services to health care organizations
throughout the U.S. and certain foreign countries.

  The Water Products segment is engaged in the processing, delivery and sale
of bottled drinking water to homes and businesses and the sale of packaged
water to retail stores.

HBOC Restatements

  On April 28, 1999, the Company announced that during the course of its year-
end audit process, the Company determined that certain software sales
transactions at its Health Care Information Technology business were
improperly recorded and had been reversed. The Audit Committee of the
Company's Board of Directors subsequently initiated an investigation into such
matters. As a result of the findings of the investigation and the year end
internal and external audit process, the Company's consolidated financial
statements reflect amounts for HBOC which have been restated from those
previously reported by HBOC. The results of operations of HBOC have been
restated for the quarters ended December 31, 1998, September 30, 1998 and June
30, 1998 and the fiscal years ended March 31, 1998 and 1997 to reflect
corrections of accounting errors in the Company's Health Care Information
Technology segment (formerly HBOC). See Financial Note 3 to the consolidated
financial statements, and "Business--Matters Relating to Restatement of
Financial Results".

  The operating results of the Company and its underlying business segments
include business combinations that were accounted for as poolings of
interests. Accordingly, all financial information gives retroactive effect to
these business combinations as if all of the pooled companies operated as one
entity for all periods presented. In addition, the Company and certain of its
business segments also include businesses that were acquired and accounted for
as purchases. The results of operations of purchased companies are included in
the consolidated financial statements since their dates of acquisition. See
Financial Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements.

Acquisitions

  In addition to the HBOC Transaction, the Company completed several

  In December 1998, the Company acquired Access Health, Inc., a provider of
clinically based care management programs and health care information
services, for approximately 34.4 million shares of HBOC common stock
(equivalent to approximately 12.7 million shares of Company common stock after
application of the Exchange Ratio).

  Also in fiscal 1999, the Company's Water Products segment completed the
acquisitions of Ephrata Diamond Spring Water Company and Keystone National
Water Company for an aggregate of approximately 0.5 million shares of Company
common stock.

  In fiscal 1999, the Company completed the acquisitions of the following
companies in its Health Care Supply Management segment, each accounted for
under the purchase method of accounting:

  In September 1998, the Company acquired MedManagement LLC ("MedManagement"),
a pharmacy management, purchasing, consulting and information services
company, for approximately $38 million in cash. The acquisition was funded
with short-term borrowings. The excess of the purchase price over the fair
value of the net assets acquired of $41 million is being amortized on a
straight-line basis over 40 years.

  In November 1998, the Company acquired RedLine Health Care Corporation
("RedLine") a distributor of medical supplies and services to the extended-
care industry, including long-term-care and home-care sites for approximately
$233 million in cash. The acquisition was funded with short-term borrowings.
The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets
acquired of $149 million is being amortized on a straight-line basis over 40
years.

 Fiscal Year 1998 Acquisitions

  In fiscal 1998, the Company's Canadian Health Care Supply Management
business, Medis Health and Pharmaceutical Services Inc. ("Medis"), announced
an agreement with Drug Trading Company, Limited ("Drug Trading") to acquire
Drug Trading's retail customers over a transition period. This transition
began in August 1997 and was substantially completed by the end of the fiscal
year. The acquisition was funded with proceeds from operations and short-term
borrowings. In fiscal 1998, the Company also made several smaller acquisitions
in the Health Care Supply Management segment.

  In October 1997, the Company acquired in its Health Care Information
Technology segment AT&T's UK Specialist Health Care Services Division ("ATT-
UK"), a provider of software solutions and remote processing services for
financial and payroll needs of health care providers in the United Kingdom for
approximately $30 million in cash. The Company allocated $7.7 million of the
purchase price to in-process research and development projects as determined
by an independent appraisal of the business, which was expensed as of the
acquisition date.

                         FINANCIAL REVIEW--(Continued)

  The Drug Trading and ATT-UK acquisitions were accounted for under the
purchase method of accounting.

  In fiscal 1998, the Company completed the acquisitions of the following
companies in its Health Care Information Technology segment, all accounted for
as poolings of interests:

  In June 1997, the Company acquired AMISYS Managed Care Systems, Inc.
("AMISYS"), a provider of managed care information systems for the payor
market, for approximately 10.8 million shares of HBOC common stock (equivalent
to approximately 4.0 million shares of Company common stock after application
of the Exchange Ratio).

  Also in June 1997, the Company completed the acquisition of Enterprise
Systems, Inc ("ESi"), a developer of resource management solutions including
materials management, operating room logistics, scheduling and financial
management, for approximately 15.2 million shares of HBOC common stock
(equivalent to approximately 5.6 million shares of Company common stock after
application of the Exchange Ratio).

  In December 1997, the Company completed the acquisition of HPR, Inc.
("HPR"), a provider of clinical information systems for the managed care
industry for approximately 18.4 million shares of HBOC common stock
(equivalent to approximately 6.8 million shares of Company common stock after
application of the Exchange Ratio).

  Also in December 1997, the Company acquired National Health Enhancement
Systems, Inc., ("NHES"), a provider of health information technology solutions
specializing in demand and disease management products, for approximately 3.6
million shares of HBOC common stock (equivalent to approximately 1.3 million
shares of Company common stock after application of the Exchange Ratio).

 Fiscal Year 1997 Acquisitions

  In fiscal 1997, the Company completed the acquisitions of the following
businesses in its Health Care Supply Management segment, all accounted for
under the purchase method of accounting:

  In April 1996, the Company acquired Automated Healthcare, Inc. ("MAH") for
$61.4 million in cash and the assumption of $3.2 million of employee stock
incentives. MAH designs, manufactures, sells, and installs automated
pharmaceutical dispensing equipment for use by health care institutions.
Goodwill relating to the acquisition of approximately $13.4 million is being
amortized on a straight-line basis over ten years. A one-time charge of $48.2
million was recorded to write-off the portion of the purchase price allocated
to technology for which technological feasibility had not been established as
of the acquisition date. Existing technology was valued at $0.4 million and is
being amortized on a straight-line basis over three years.

  In November 1996, the Company acquired FoxMeyer Corporation's pharmaceutical
distribution business ("FoxMeyer") for approximately $598 million, pursuant to
an expedited auction process in the FoxMeyer Corporation bankruptcy proceeding
in Wilmington, Delaware. The Company paid approximately $23 million in cash to
the debtors, paid off approximately $500 million in secured debt, and assumed
an additional $75 million in other liabilities. The Company utilized proceeds
from commercial paper issuances and a note payable to a bank to fund the
transaction. The note payable was repaid prior to March 31, 1997, with cash
flow from operations and proceeds from divestitures (see "Divestitures"
section below). The Company acquired assets consisting primarily of accounts
receivable and inventories of $650 million, customer contracts, and property
and equipment. At the time of the acquisition, FoxMeyer was receiving very
little trade credit from suppliers. Normal trade credit was restored
subsequent to the acquisition resulting in a reduction in the investment
associated with the retained FoxMeyer customer base to approximately $400
million at March 31, 1997. The excess of the fair value of the net assets
acquired over the purchase price, after reducing to zero the carrying value of
long-term assets which were expected to be retained for use by the Company,
was approximately $30 million (negative goodwill). Negative goodwill is being
amortized on a straight-line basis over a five-year period.

  In February 1997, the Company acquired General Medical Corp. ("MGM"), a
supplier of medical-surgical supplies to the full range of alternate-site
health care facilities, including physicians and clinics, long-term care and
home-care sites, and the third largest distributor of medical-surgical
supplies to hospitals, for approximately $775 million, including the issuance
of 5.6 million shares of Company common stock and the assumption of
approximately $428 million in debt. The excess of the purchase price over the
fair value of the net assets acquired was approximately $600 million and is
being amortized on a straight-line basis over 40 years.

  In fiscal 1997, the Company completed the acquisitions of the following
businesses in its Health Care Information Technology segment, all accounted
for as poolings of interests:

  In August 1996, the Company acquired CyCare Systems, Inc. ("CyCare"), a
provider of physician practice management software systems and electronic
commerce services for medical group practices, faculty practice plans and
medical enterprises for approximately 17.6 million shares of HBOC common stock
(equivalent to approximately 6.5 million shares of Company common stock after
application of the Exchange Ratio).

  In September 1996, the Company acquired Management Software, Inc. ("MSI"), a
provider of software solutions for the home care industry, for approximately
3.4 million shares of HBOC common stock (equivalent to approximately 1.3
million shares of Company common stock after application of the Exchange
Ratio).

  In December 1996, the Company acquired GMIS Inc., a developer of data
quality and decision support software for the payor marketplace for
approximately 14.8 million shares of HBOC common stock (equivalent to
approximately 5.5 million shares of Company common stock after application of
the Exchange Ratio).

Divestitures:

  In December 1996, the Company sold its 55% equity interest in Armor All
Products Corporation ("Armor All") for $221.9 million in cash and recognized
an after-tax gain of $120.2 million.

  In March 1997, the Company sold its service merchandising unit, Millbrook
Distribution Services, Inc. ("Millbrook"). The after-tax cash proceeds on the
sale approximated Millbrook's book value.

  The Armor All and Millbrook segments are classified as discontinued
operations in fiscal 1997.

  In March 1997, the Company sold its Aqua-Vend vended water business ("Aqua-
Vend"), a unit of the Water Products segment for cash. The after-tax proceeds
on the sale approximated its book value, after giving effect to the $7.0
million pre-tax provision recorded in the third quarter of fiscal 1997 for the
impairment of certain Aqua-Vend assets.

 Fiscal 1999

  Fiscal 1999 income from continuing operations before unusual items, after
the previously discussed HBOC restatements, was $378.8 million, a 4% increase
over the prior year's income from continuing operations before unusual items
of $365.3 million. Fiscal 1999 results reflect revenue and operating margin
growth and the positive impact of acquisitions in the Health Care Supply
Management segment offset, in part, by a decline in Health Care Information
Technology segment operating results.

 Fiscal 1998

  Fiscal 1998 income from continuing operations before unusual items, after
the previously discussed HBOC restatements, was $365.3 million, a 49% increase
over the prior year's income from continuing operations before unusual items
of $244.5 million. Fiscal 1998 results reflect internal growth, operating
margin expansion and the full-year effect of acquisitions accounted for as
purchases made late in the prior fiscal year.

 Fiscal 1997

  Fiscal 1997 income from continuing operations before unusual items, after
the previously discussed HBOC restatements, was $244.5 million, a 36% increase
from the prior year's income from continuing operations before unusual items
of $180.0 million. Fiscal 1997 results reflect significant growth in the
Health Care Information Technology segment offset in part by the temporary
dilutive effect of acquisitions and investments in strategic initiatives
geared toward enhancing the Company's competitive position in the
institutional and retail markets in the Health Care Supply Management segment.

Unusual Items

  In each of fiscal 1999, 1998 and 1997, the Company incurred charges, as
restated for HBOC, for acquisition-related activities including transaction
costs, employee benefit costs, severance, as well as costs for consolidation
of facilities and administrative processes and certain operating charges. For
the purposes of discussing the results of operations, these items are referred
to as "unusual items" in the Financial Review. Charges associated with the
Health Care Information Technology segment have been restated from amounts
previously reported to correct previous overstatements of such amounts. The
results of operations excluding "unusual items" are not intended to represent
income from operations, or alternatives to net income, each as defined by
generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, the charges included as
"unusual items" presented herein may not be comparable to other similarly
titled measures used by other companies. Management believes, however, that
the discussion of the results of operations excluding such unusual items is
the most informative representation of recurring, non-transactional operating
results. Management believes that these items either represent one-time
occurrences and/or events which are not related to normal, ongoing operations
or represent charges that are in excess of normal/historical operating
amounts.

  The unusual items in fiscal 1999, 1998 and 1997 are as follows:

 Fiscal 1999 Unusual Items

  In fiscal 1999, the Company recorded pre-tax charges for unusual items of
$180.3 million in the Health Care Supply Management segment, $215.6 million in
the Health Care Information Technology segment and $12.6 million in the Water
Products segment, $408.5 million in the aggregate. Following is a description
of costs by type of expenditure in fiscal 1999:

 Transaction Costs

  Total unusual items include $84.9 million of transaction costs incurred in
connection with the acquisitions described above, primarily consisting of
professional fees such as investment banking, legal and accounting fees. This
amount includes $6.6 million of transaction costs related to terminated
transactions. Approximately $83.9 million of invoices were paid in fiscal
1999, with a balance of $1.0 million which will be paid in fiscal 2000.

                         FINANCIAL REVIEW--(Continued)


 Employee Benefits

  The Company incurred $88.7 million of employee benefit costs related to the
acquisitions including $39.0 million for restricted stock and stock
appreciation rights subject to change of control provisions, $37.0 million of
long-term incentive and phantom stock awards subject to change of control
provisions, $8.7 million of signing and retention bonuses, and $4.0 million of
retirement and employee benefit plan costs. Of these amounts, $36.3 million
were non-cash charges, primarily related to restricted stock, $44.1 million
were paid in fiscal 1999, and the remaining $8.3 million will be paid in
fiscal 2000.

 Severance

  Severance costs totaled $33.3 million, resulting from the consolidation of
acquired company operating and corporate functions, the consolidation of
existing U.S. Health Care pharmaceutical distribution centers, and other
employee terminations. The severance charges relate to the termination of
approximately 1,650 employees, primarily in distribution centers,
administration and product functions. Severance of $9.1 million was paid in
fiscal 1999. The remaining severance will be paid in fiscal 2000.

 Restructuring and Asset Impairments

  In fiscal 1999, the Health Care Supply Management segment identified six
distribution centers for closure to be completed by the middle of fiscal 2000.
The Company recorded a charge of $25.5 million related to such closures. Of
this charge, $21.7 million was required to reduce the carrying value of
facility assets to their estimated fair value less disposal costs, and $3.8
million was related to computer hardware and software which will no longer be
used at such facilities. Fair value was determined based on sales of similar
assets, appraisals, and/or other estimates such as discounting of estimated
future cash flows. Considerable management judgment is necessary to estimate
fair values; accordingly, actual results could vary significantly from such
estimates. Also related to such closures, a charge of $17.2 million was
recorded for other exit-related costs. These primarily consist of costs to
prepare facilities for disposal, lease costs and property taxes required
subsequent to termination of operations, as well as the write-off of costs
related to duplicate assets from acquired companies that do not have future
use by the Company. Of the above charges, $40.1 million were non-cash asset
write-offs, $3.9 million was paid in fiscal 1999, and the remaining amounts
will be paid in fiscal 2000.

  The Health Care Supply Management segment also wrote off $23.5 million of
computer hardware and software which was abandoned as the result of an
acquisition during the year.

  In connection with acquisitions made by the Health Care Information
Technology segment and the merger with McKesson, duplicate facilities,
products and internal systems were identified for elimination, resulting in
charges of $22.2 million, relating principally to the write-off of capitalized
costs, lease termination costs, and royalty agreements which were terminated
at a cost of $12.0 million because products subject to minimum royalty
payments to third parties were replaced with acquired products. In addition,
following the HBOC Transaction, the Company evaluated the performance of a
foreign business and elected to shut down its facility. Charges of $11.6
million were recorded, principally related to the write-down of goodwill to
fair value based on estimated discounted cash flows. Revenues and net
operating income for this foreign business were not significant in fiscal
1999. Certain investments became impaired during fiscal 1999 and were written
down by $4.3 million to their net realizable values based primarily on
estimated discounted cash flows, and other reserves of $4.1 million were
recorded to cover customer and other claims arising out of the acquisitions.
Substantially all of the above charges were non-cash asset write-offs.

  The Water Products segment identified and wrote off $2.5 million of computer
equipment and inventory which were abandoned as the result of acquisitions
during the year. In addition, management decided to close

down an acquired bottling facility during fiscal 2000 which was determined to
be inefficient, and recorded $0.4 million of estimated costs required to
prepare the facility for closure which are expected to be paid during fiscal
2000.

 Other Merger-related Costs

  The Health Care Information Technology segment incurred costs totaling $13.8
million in fiscal 1999 due to an acquired company which had receivables
outstanding from HBOC competitors that became uncollectible and were written
off after the merger with HBOC.

 Acquisition-related Integration Costs

  Acquisition-related integration costs of $40.3 million consist of $1.9
million incurred for salaries and benefits of integration and affiliation team
members of the Company and $38.4 million of other direct costs associated with
the integration and rationalization of recent acquisitions in the Health Care
Supply Management, Health Care Information Technology and Water Products
segments.

 Other Operating Items

  Other operating items of $36.2 million consist of losses resulting from the
implementation of a contract administration system and expenses incurred for
corrective actions associated with that system.

 Fiscal 1998 Unusual Items

  In fiscal 1998, the Company recorded pre-tax charges for unusual items of
$30.6 million in the Health Care Supply Management segment and $65.5 million
in the Health Care Information Technology segment, $96.1 million in the
aggregate. Following is a description of costs by type of expenditure in
fiscal 1998:

 Transaction Costs

  Total unusual items include $32.7 million of transaction costs incurred in
connection with the acquisitions described above, primarily consisting of
professional fees such as investment banking, legal and accounting fees. This
amount includes $16.7 million of transaction costs related to the Company's
termination of its proposed merger with AmeriSource Health Corporation.
Substantially all related invoices were paid during fiscal 1998.

 Employee Benefits

  The Company incurred $1.4 million of employee benefit costs related to
change of control provisions associated with the acquisition of NHES.

 Severance

  Severance costs totaled $17.5 million, resulting from the consolidation of
acquired company operating and corporate functions, the consolidation of
existing U.S. Health Care pharmaceutical distribution centers, and other
employee terminations. The severance charge relates to the termination of
approximately 600 employees primarily in distribution center and back office
functions in the Health Care Supply Managment segment, and operating and
corporate personnel in the Health Care Information Technology segment.
Severance of $7.5 million was paid during fiscal 1998. The remaining severance
was paid in fiscal 1999.

 Restructuring and Asset Impairments

  In fiscal 1998, the Health Care Supply Management segment recorded a $3.7
million loss on the sale of an investment, and a charge of $0.7 million
associated with the closure of a facility in Canada.

  In connection with acquisitions made by the Health Care Information
Technology segment, duplicate products, facilities and internal systems were
identified which resulted in charges of $22.4 million (all non-cash),
consisting primarily of capitalized costs and intangible write-offs of $19.3
million related to discontinuance of duplicate product lines. Revenues and net
income from the discontinued product lines were replaced by acquired product
lines. In addition, a $10.0 million minority investment became impaired and
was written off (all non-cash).

 Other Merger-related Costs

  In connection with the acquisition of ATT-UK by the Health Care Information
Technology segment, a charge of $7.7 million was recorded to write off the
portion of the purchase price allocated to purchased in-process technology for
which feasibility had not been established as of the acquisition date.

 Fiscal 1997 Unusual Items

  In fiscal 1997, the Company recorded pre-tax charges for unusual items of
$140.0 in the Health Care Supply Management segment, $81.5 million in the
Health Care Information Technology segment and $7.0 million in the Water
Products segment, $228.5 million in the aggregate. Following is a description
of costs by type of expenditure in fiscal 1997:

 Transaction Costs

  Total unusual items include $17.2 million of transaction costs incurred in
connection with the acquisitions described above, primarily consisting of
professional fees such as investment banking, legal and accounting fees.
Substantially all related invoices were paid during fiscal 1997.

 Severance

  Severance costs in the Health Care Information Technology segment totaled
$12.0 million resulting from the consolidation of acquired company operating
and corporate functions and other employee terminations. Severance of $8.8
million was paid during fiscal 1997, and the remaining severance was primarily
paid in fiscal 1998.

 Restructuring and Asset Impairments

  The acquisition of the assets and operations of FoxMeyer by the Health Care
Supply Management segment resulted in a significant increase in sales volume,
a substantial change in the customer mix (primarily a large increase in
institutional customers), and overlapping, duplicate and "similar purpose"
assets.

  As a result of this acquisition, management reassessed the Company's
operations, distribution center network and business strategies, including
program offerings. As a result of this reassessment, management developed a
plan to optimize the U.S. network configuration from the combined distribution
centers of the Company and those acquired from FoxMeyer. At the same time,
management approved a plan to rationalize the distribution network and
eliminate certain facilities being used at its Canadian subsidiary. These
plans have resulted in the closure of 15 distribution centers and the disposal
of duplicate assets during fiscal 1997 and fiscal 1998.

  In connection with the plans discussed above, during fiscal 1997 the Company
recorded charges of $10.1 million (primarily non-cash) to reduce the carrying
value of certain of the Company's distribution facilities to their estimated
fair value less disposal costs. Fair value was determined based on sales of
similar assets,

appraisals, and/or other estimates such as discounting of estimated future
cash flows. Considerable management judgment is necessary to estimate fair
values, accordingly, actual results could vary significantly from such
estimates.

  Subsequent to the acquisition of FoxMeyer, management reassessed strategies
and program offerings for expanding certain customer markets in light of the
larger and more diverse customer base, and identified certain of the Company's
programs and investments that would no longer be pursued as originally
contemplated. As a result, the Company recorded charges of $28.0 million
(primarily non-cash) to write off costs incurred to develop systems and other
product offerings for customers that would no longer be used or sold. In
addition, management reevaluated its current systems capabilities and needs,
in light of the resources acquired through FoxMeyer, and identified several
systems that were duplicate or not providing benefits to the combined company.
This resulted in a charge of $29.3 million (primarily non-cash) for the write-
off of hardware and software systems that would no longer be used by the
Company.

  In fiscal 1997, the Health Care Information Technology segment completed
several acquisitions. In connection with these acquisitions, duplicate
products were eliminated. The elimination of duplicate products resulted in
charges of $22.8 million, consisting primarily of capitalized costs, and
intangible write-offs, and reserves for customer settlements. Revenues and net
income from the discontinued product lines were replaced by acquired product
lines. In addition, a $12.3 million intangible representing a non-compete
agreement of an acquired company and $5.3 million of other assets and
investments were written off because they were determined to have no future
value to the Company. Of the above charges, $32.7 million were non-cash asset
write-offs, $3.0 million was paid in fiscal 1997 and the remaining amounts
were paid in fiscal 1998.

  During fiscal 1997, management of the Water Products segment decided to exit
from the vended water business. Offers received from potential buyers
indicated that the net assets of this business were impaired. As a result, the
Company recorded a charge of $7.0 million (non-cash) to reduce the carrying
value to estimated fair value less disposal costs. The business was sold later
in fiscal 1997 with no significant gain or loss recognized.

 Other Merger-related Costs

  The Health Care Supply Management segment recorded a charge of $48.2 million
to write off the portion of the purchase price of the acquisition of MAH
allocated to purchased in-process technology for which feasibility had not
been established as of the acquisition date.

  The Health Care Information Technology segment recorded a charge of $8.6
million to write off the portion of the purchase price of an acquisition
allocated to purchased in-process technology for which feasibility had not
been established as of the acquisition date and $0.4 million of other charges.

 Other Operating Items

  Other operating items include $15.1 million of receivables reserves recorded
by the Health Care Supply Management segment resulting from management's
reevaluation of estimated exposures from bad debts, disputed amounts, customer
allowances, and rebates. Also included are $2.8 million of costs incurred
during a strike at a distribution center, $1.5 million for the termination of
a marketing program and certain distributor relationships, and $5.0 million of
other charges. In addition, the Health Care Information Technology segment
recorded a charge of $2.9 million primarily related to an employee stock
option grant of an acquired company that was variable until shareholder
approval was received authorizing the shares that were granted.

  Over the most recent three fiscal years, the Health Care Supply Management
segment has experienced strong revenue growth from internal growth and
acquisitions. Operating margins have also improved from a combination of
higher margin service offerings, improved product procurement profits and
ongoing expense efficiencies which have more than offset continued pressure on
selling margins to customers. The result, when combined with improved asset
efficiency, is operating profit growth in excess of revenue growth and
increasing returns on invested capital.

  Revenue growth in this segment, excluding sales to customers' warehouses, is
as follows:

  Internal growth in Health Care Supply Management has been primarily volume
driven due to increasing sales to the retail chain and institutional customer
segments. Sales to retail customers have benefited from the Company's service
offerings and programs that focus on broad product selection, service levels,
inventory carrying cost reductions, connectivity and automation technologies.
Growth with institutional customers has benefited from the focus on reducing
both product cost and internal labor and logistics costs for the customers.
Services available include pharmaceutical distribution, medical-surgical
supply distribution, pharmaceutical dispensing automation, pharmacy
outsourcing, utilization reviews as well as the health care information
services available from the Health Care Information Technology segment. These
retail chain and institutional capabilities have resulted in the
implementation of significant long-term contracts with major customers.

  Operating margins expanded in the three years due to a change in business
mix to higher margin businesses resulting from acquisitions in pharmaceutical
services for manufacturers, retail and institutional automation and medical-
surgical supply distribution. In addition, expanded profitability from product
procurement, warehouse automation and efficiency improvements, and fixed cost
leverage from volume growth contributed to the margin expansion.

  Sales to customers' warehouses are large volume sales of pharmaceuticals to
major self-warehousing drugstore chains whereby the Company acts as an
intermediary in the order and subsequent delivery of products directly from
the manufacturer to the customers' warehouses. The growth in sales to
customers' warehouses in fiscal 1999 was primarily the result of two
significant contracts with retail chains which also provided new direct store
sales growth.

  The Health Care Supply Management segment uses the last-in, first-out (LIFO)
method of accounting for the majority of its inventories which results in cost
of sales that more closely reflect replacement cost than other

accounting methods, thereby mitigating the effects of inflation and deflation
on operating profit. The practice in the Health Care Supply Management
distribution businesses is to pass published price changes from suppliers on
to customers. Manufacturers generally provide the Company with price
protection, which prevents inventory losses from manufacturer price decreases.
Price declines on many generic pharmaceutical products in this segment in each
of the fiscal years ending March 31, 1999, 1998, and 1997 moderated the
effects of inflation in other product categories, which resulted in minimal
overall price changes in those fiscal years.

  Fiscal 1999 capital expenditures include higher levels to support the growth
in the automation and services businesses. The growth in fiscal 1998 capital
expenditures reflects expansion of certain facilities in conjunction with the
integration and rationalization of the FoxMeyer, MGM and Drug Trading
businesses.

  The Health Care Supply Management segment requires a substantial investment
in operating working capital (customer receivables and inventories net of
related trade payables). Average capital employed increased in fiscal 1999,
reflecting the MedManagement and RedLine acquisitions, capital spending and
increased working capital to support the 19% growth from existing businesses.
The increase in average capital employed in fiscal 1998 reflects the Drug
Trading acquisition, capital spending related to the integration and
rationalization of the FoxMeyer, MGM and Drug Trading businesses and growth in
working capital to support the 14% revenue growth for existing businesses.
Operating working capital is susceptible to large variations during the year
as a result of inventory purchase patterns and seasonal demands. Inventory
purchase activity is a function of sales activity, new customer build-up
requirements and the desired level of investment inventory. Typically
operating working capital is lower at March 31 than the average balance during
the year. At March 31, 1999, vendor payables were unusually high relative to
inventory both as a result of purchases made late in the fiscal year and the
timing of vendor payments. As a result, average operating working capital
levels in fiscal 2000 would be expected to be significantly higher than the
March 31, 1999 balance. At March 31, 1998, vendor payables were relatively low
due to a lower level of purchase activity at year end and revised payment
terms with certain vendors in the medical-surgical distribution and services
business.

  Health Care Information Technology revenues, after giving effect to the
restatements, increased 8% to $1.5 billion in fiscal 1999 and 27% to
$1.4 billion in fiscal 1998. The fiscal 1999 decline in software revenues of
15% reflects a general industry-wide slowdown in sales of health care
information technology products and changes in accounting due to the adoption
of Statement of Position 97-2, "Software Revenue Recognition", effective April
1, 1998. During fiscal 1999, the Health Care Information Technology segment
experienced delays in current and potential customers' purchasing decisions
with respect to its enterprise solutions. Management believes such delays are
due to Year 2000 issues, technological innovations, increased competition,
greater requirement for integration of products and general market conditions
in the computer software industry. Services revenues increased, in part, as
implementation activity increased for enterprise solutions and materials
management products as a result of increased sales in fiscal 1998. Outsourcing
growth was strong as a significant number of new outsourcing customers were
added in fiscal 1999. In addition to general growth in services as a result of
a growing business, services increased due to the full year impact of the
purchase of ATT-UK.

  Hardware is sold as an accommodation to customers and at a significantly
lower operating margin than software and services. Fiscal 1999 revenues from
the sale of hardware reflect general price declines for hardware, a shift to
less costly Microsoft Windows NT(TM) platforms and exceptionally strong prior
year fourth quarter sales.

  The segment's fiscal 1998 software sales growth reflected continued demand
for enterprise solutions, including strong home care, materials management and
payor product sales as new sales channels were provided by acquisitions.
Hardware sales of RISC-based processors increased in conjunction with software
sales. In addition to general growth in services as a result of a growing
business, services increased due to the inclusion of ATT-UK operations from
the date of purchase.

  Health Care Information Technology segment operating profit before unusual
items declined 37% to 184.0 million in fiscal 1999 reflecting the previously
discussed decline in software sales, a lower mix of higher-margin software
sales in fiscal 1999 compared to fiscal 1998 (22% vs. 28% as a percentage of
total Health Care Information Technology revenues), bad debt provisions of $70
million, and a termination fee associated with a telecommunications contract.
The bad debt provision was unusually high in the year and reflects, in part,
inadequate staffing of and focus on receivables collections during a portion
of the year, implementation issues associated with certain products and
contingencies associated with litigation.

  Health Care Information Technology segment operating profit before unusual
items increased 44% to $292.5 million in fiscal 1998 reflecting sales volume
increases, product mix shift to higher-margin software and service revenues,
and operating expense efficiencies.

  The fiscal 1999 and 1998 capital expenditures reflect the acquisition and
construction of the segment's new corporate office in Georgia and the purchase
of an aircraft in 1998.

  The increase in capital employed in Health Care Information Technology in
fiscal 1998 primarily reflected the growth in working capital to support the
27% growth in the business and increased capital spending as noted earlier.

  The return on committed capital and total capital employed in fiscal 1999
reflect the previously discussed decline in operating profit.

sales to the retail trade. Water Products revenue increased 4% in fiscal 1998
to $313.6 million reflecting higher packaged water sales to the retail trade
and moderate growth in the direct-delivery business.

  Water Products segment operating profit before unusual items increased 12%
to $58.9 million in fiscal 1999 reflecting higher sales. Operating profit
before unusual items increased 21% to $52.7 million in fiscal 1998 reflecting
the 4% increase in revenues and productivity improvements.

  Fiscal 1999 and 1998 capital expenditures reflect expenditures for
additional processing plants to support the expansion into new territories.

  The increases in capital employed in fiscal 1999 and 1998 reflect sales
growth and the higher capital spending levels discussed in the prior
paragraph. The decline in the return on capital in fiscal 1999 employed before
unusual items was impacted by the higher levels of capital spending in fiscal
1999 and 1998.

International Operations

  International operations accounted for 6.8%, 7.6%, 9.2% and 6.0%, 3.7%, 7.9%
of fiscal 1999, 1998 and 1997 consolidated revenues and operating profits
before unusual items, respectively, and 5.5%, 5.9% and 4.0% of consolidated
assets at March 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively. International
operations are subject to certain opportunities and risks, including currency
fluctuations. The Company monitors its operations and adopts strategies
responsive to changes in the economic and political environment in each of the
countries in which it operates.

Consolidated Working Capital

  Operating working capital (receivables and inventories net of related
payables) as a percent of revenues was 8.3%, 10.5% and 10.4% at March 31,
1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The calculation is based on year-end
balances and assumes major purchase acquisitions occurred at the beginning of
the year.

  The decline in the operating working capital ratio in fiscal 1999 is
primarily due to the timing of vendor payments in the U.S. pharmaceutical and
medical-surgical distribution businesses which offset the effect of operating
working capital growth in the Health Care Information Technology segment.

  The increase in the operating working capital ratio in fiscal 1998 reflects
revised payment terms with certain vendors in the medical-surgical
distribution and services business and the timing of vendor payments in the
U.S. pharmaceutical distribution business in the Health Care Supply Management
segment and, growth in the Health Care Information Technology segment due
primarily to an increase in receivables resulting from an increase in sales
and timing of customer collections.

CASH FLOW AND LIQUIDITY

  Cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities (primarily U.S. Treasury
securities with maturities of one year or less) were $269 million, $683
million, and $600 million at March 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The
decline in fiscal 1999 reflects the use of HBOC cash balances following the
January 1999, merger to pay down short-term borrowings. Cash balances include
$23 million, $77 million and $110 million at March 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997,
respectively, from the sale of Armor All, which is restricted and held in
trust as exchange property in connection with the Company's exchangeable
debentures.

                         FINANCIAL REVIEW--(Continued)


  Cash flows from continuing operations reflect the cash earnings of the
Company's continuing businesses and the effects of the changes in working
capital. The working capital increase in fiscal 1999 primarily reflects
increases in receivables and inventories resulting from sales growth in all
operating segments and timing of customer collections in the Health Care
Supply Management and Health Care Information Technology segments. The working
capital increase in fiscal 1998 primarily reflects sales growth and timing of
customer collections in the Health Care Information Technology segment,
revised payment terms with certain vendors in the medical-surgical
distribution and services business and the timing of vendor payments in the
U.S. pharmaceutical distribution business. Working capital changes in fiscal
1997 were favorably impacted by the previously discussed restoration of trade
credit from suppliers of FoxMeyer related to purchases following the
acquisition.

Other Financing Activities

  In May 1998, the Company's Employee Stock Ownership Plan purchased
approximately 1.3 million shares of newly issued Company stock from the
Company at a market value of $78.125 per share.

  In February 1998, the Company issued fixed-rate unsubordinated debt totaling
$300 million to finance internal growth. On March 1, 2005, $150 million of the
debt matures, and the remaining $150 million is due on March 1, 2008.

  In October 1997, a subsidiary of the Company issued $125 million of fixed-
rate debt which matures on November 1, 2002. Proceeds were used to pay down
short-term borrowings of the Company's Canadian subsidiary, Medis.

  During fiscal 1997, the Company repurchased 6.8 million shares of its common
stock for $156 million as part of a share repurchase program that was
suspended in January 1997. In February 1997, the Company issued approximately
5.6 million shares of Company common stock in conjunction with the MGM
acquisition.

  In fiscal 1997, the Company, through a wholly-owned subsidiary trust, issued
$200 million of trust convertible preferred securities to fund internal
growth. These securities are convertible into approximately 5.4 million shares
of Company common stock, yield a 5% dividend and are callable by the Company
beginning in March 2000 at 103.5% of par value.

  Also in fiscal 1997, the Company issued $525 million of fixed-rate debt to
term-out the financing of the MGM acquisition including the refinancing of
higher cost debt assumed in the acquisition.

Credit Resources

  The Company currently has $1.8 billion of available credit under committed
revolving credit lines: a $400 million five-year facility expiring in fiscal
2004, an $800 million 364-day facility expiring on November 9, 1999, and a
$575 million facility expiring on October 29, 1999. $1.2 billion of these
revolving credit facilities is primarily available to support commercial paper
borrowings. In addition, the Company has committed revolving receivables sales
facilities aggregating $750 million. At March 31, 1999, the Company had no
commercial paper or revolving credit borrowings outstanding. As of June 30,
1999, the Company had $592 million of commercial paper borrowings outstanding,
no outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit agreement and had fully
utilized its accounts receivable sales facility.

  The Company's senior debt credit ratings from S&P, Duff & Phelps, and
Moody's are currently BBB+, A-, and Baa1, and its commercial paper ratings are
currently A-2, D-2, and P-2, respectively. The Company's senior debt ratings
and one of its commercial paper ratings were lowered by the rating agencies to
the above levels, and both the senior debt and commercial paper ratings were
placed under review with negative implications, following the Company's June
21, 1999 announcement of senior management changes within the Company.

                         FINANCIAL REVIEW--(Continued)

Management believes that the Company has adequate access to credit sources to
meet its funding requirements. Funds necessary for future debt maturities and
other cash requirements of the Company are expected to be met by existing cash
balances, cash flow from operations, existing credit sources or other capital
market transactions.

Market Risk

  The Company's major risk exposure is changing interest rates, primarily in
the United States. The Company manages interest rates through the use of a
combination of fixed and floating rate debt. Interest rate swaps may be used
to adjust interest rate exposures when appropriate, based upon market
conditions. These contracts are entered into with major financial institutions
thereby minimizing the risk of credit loss.

  If interest rates on existing variable-rate debt were to change 50 basis
points, the Company believes that its results from operations and cash flows
would not be materially affected.

  The Company conducts business in Canada, Mexico and the United Kingdom, and
is subject to foreign currency exchange risk on cash flows related to sales,
expenses, financing and investment transactions. If exchange rates on such
currencies were to fluctuate 10%, the Company believes that its results from
operations and cash flows would not be materially affected. Aggregate foreign
exchange translation gains and losses included in net income, comprehensive
income and in equity are discussed in Financial Note 2 on pages F-37 to F-40
of the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Capitalization

  The Company entered into an accounts receivable sales program with a
financial institution in March 1999, 1998 and 1997, providing for the sale by
the Company of $400.0 million, $299.9 million and $147.4 million,

respectively, undivided interests in the Company's total trade accounts
receivable. The program qualifies for sale treatment under Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 125, "Accounting for Transfers and
Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities". The sales
were recorded at the estimated fair values of the receivables sold, reflecting
discounts for the time value of money based on U.S. commercial paper rates and
estimated loss provisions.

  Average diluted shares were 289.8 million in fiscal 1999, 282.1 million in
fiscal 1998 and 265.2 million in fiscal 1997. Common stock outstanding
increased to 280.6 million at March 31, 1999 from 271.0 million at March 31,
1998 and 259.0 million at March 31, 1997, due primarily to the issuance of
common stock under employee benefit plans.

Environmental Matters

  The Company's continuing operations do not require ongoing material
expenditures to comply with federal, state and local environmental laws and
regulations. However, in connection with the disposition of its chemical
operations in fiscal 1987, the Company retained responsibility for certain
environmental obligations. In addition, the Company is a party to a number of
proceedings brought under the Comprehensive Environmental Response,
Compensation and Liability Act (commonly known as "Superfund"), and other
federal and state environmental statutes primarily involving sites associated
with the operation of the Company's former chemical distribution businesses.
There were no adjustments made to the reserves in fiscal 1999, 1998 and 1997.
Management does not believe that changes in the remediation cost estimates in
future periods, or the ultimate resolution of the Company's environmental
matters, will have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial
position or results of operations. See Financial Note 19, "Other Commitments
and Contingent Liabilities" on pages F-72 to F-77 of the accompanying
consolidated financial statements.

Income Taxes

  The tax rate on income from continuing operations (excluding unusual items)
was 56.2% in fiscal 1999, 38.6% in fiscal 1998 and 50.9% in fiscal 1997.

YEAR 2000

Background

  The "Year 2000 problem" refers to the fact that some computer hardware,
software and embedded firmware are designed to read and store dates using only
the last two digits of the year. The Company relies heavily on computer
technologies to operate its business. In 1996, the Company conducted an
initial assessment of its information technology to determine which Year 2000
related problems might cause processing errors or computer system failures.
Based on the results of that initial analysis, the Company's executive
management identified the Year 2000 problem as a top corporate priority and
established a central office to provide enterprise-wide management of its Year
2000 project (the "Project"), which is currently estimated to have a total
project cost of less than $45 million (see "Costs").

  The following discussion of the implications of the Year 2000 problem for
the Company contains numerous forward-looking statements based on inherently
uncertain information. The cost of the Project and the date on which the
Company plans to complete its internal Year 2000 modifications are based on
the Company's best estimates, which were derived utilizing a number of
assumptions of future events including the continued availability of internal
and external resources, third party modifications and other factors. However,
there can be no guarantee that these estimates will be achieved, and actual
results could differ. Moreover, although the Company believes it will be able
to make the necessary modifications in advance, there can be no guarantee that
the failure to modify the systems would not have a material adverse effect on
the Company.

                         FINANCIAL REVIEW--(Continued)


  In addition, the Company places a high degree of reliance on computer
systems of third parties, such as customers, trade suppliers and computer
hardware and commercial software suppliers. Although the Company is assessing
the readiness of these third parties and preparing contingency plans, there
can be no guarantee that the failure of these third parties to modify their
systems in advance of December 31, 1999, would not have a material adverse
effect on the Company.

Readiness

  The Project is intended to ensure that all critical systems, devices and
applications, as well as data exchanges with customers, trade suppliers, and
other third parties ("Trading Partners") have been evaluated and will be
suitable for continued use into and beyond the year 2000. In addition to areas
normally associated with information technology ("IT"), the project also
includes areas normally considered outside of IT, but which may have embedded
microprocessors with potential Year 2000 problems. Examples of such non-IT
areas include the 30,000 hand-held order entry devices the Company has
provided its customers, and recently implemented bar-code scanning devices
used in warehouse operations.

  Responsibility for implementation of the Project has been divided among
fourteen business units (including the Company's Health Care Information
Technology segment), each with its own IT resources. Each business unit
operates under published corporate standards, and progress is monitored by the
corporate Year 2000 central office. Responsibilities have been further
subdivided into functional areas. General priorities have been defined,
dependencies identified, preliminary delivery dates assigned, detailed project
plans developed, and internal and external technical resources assigned or
hired. In addition, internal management reporting requirements have been
established. Plans, and progress against those plans, are reviewed by the
Project's central project office and are reported to the Chief Information
Officer, executive steering committee and the Company's Board of Directors.

  The Project now consists of hundreds of individual projects, varying in
priority and resource requirements from large undertakings, such as replacing
certain financial and electronic commerce (EDI) systems, to smaller projects,
such as certification of telephony systems. Regardless of its size, each
individual project generally progresses through the following seven phases,
which are divided into two stages:

  Prior to combining with McKesson in January 1999, HBOC had, since 1994, been
pursuing its own Year 2000 compliance project. That compliance project has now
been integrated into the Company's Project. Nevertheless, because the Health
Care Information Technology segment is principally engaged in the sale and
licensing of computer software and systems, the Year 2000 problem raises a
different set of concerns from those of the Company's other businesses. For
that reason, the Year 2000 readiness of the Health Care Information Technology
business is discussed separately.

 Businesses Other than Health Care Information Technology

  The Company has completed Stage One for all identified projects. Because of
the size of the Project at the Company, and variation in assessed risk, some
individual projects have completed all phases while others are at various
phases within Stage Two. Most of the Company's mission critical projects
(i.e., those projects whose

failure to be completed would create a significant business disruption) are at
Phase 6 or higher, have been installed or will be installed by July 31, 1999.
A limited number of systems requiring extended migration, installation or
conversion efforts will require work extending past July 31, 1999 but, in any
case, the Company expects to complete all phases of all identified projects by
September 30, 1999. In the third quarter of calendar year 1999, the Company
will be conducting a rigorous final level of review called systems integration
testing under post-Year 2000 conditions.

  The Company has conducted and plans to continue to conduct systems testing
with Trading Partners during the remainder of calendar year 1999. In addition,
to insure Year 2000 readiness with trade suppliers, the Company is
participating in an industry effort organized by the National Wholesale Drug
Association with special attention to critical suppliers such as manufacturers
of branded pharmaceutical products.

  Since early 1997, the Company has required Year 2000 compliance statements
from all suppliers of the Company's computer hardware and commercial software.
As of March 31, 1999, approximately 90% of the computer hardware and purchased
software used in the Company's Health Care Supply Management segment was
certified by vendors as being compliant. Regardless of the compliance
statements, all third party hardware and software will also be subjected to
testing to reconfirm its Year 2000 readiness.

 Health Care Information Technology

  The Health Care Information Technology Year 2000 project team is addressing
Year 2000 readiness of (i) the Health Care Information Technology's software
products licensed to customers; (ii) third party software vendor business
partners; and (iii) the segment's internal systems.

  The Company's assessment indicates that, with a few exceptions, products
available for licensing and acquisition from the Health Care Information
Technology segment were, as of March 31, 1999, Year 2000 compliant. The
readiness effort has been conducted in the ordinary course of business
regarding the development and enhancement of such software pursuant to
software maintenance and support agreements.

  Substantially all of the identified projects involving Health Care
Information Technology software products are at Phase 6 or higher.

  The Health Care Information Technology segment continues to monitor
performance of Year 2000 compliant releases of Company software products in
customer environments, and any deployment of maintenance releases to remediate
any Year 2000 issues identified during and after deployment of Year 2000
releases of Company software products will be done in the ordinary course of
business.

  The Health Care Information Technology project team is making ongoing
inquiries with respect to the Year 2000 readiness of its software vendor
business partners. While the Company's current assessment does not suggest it,
there can be no guarantee that the failure of these third parties to modify
their systems in advance of December 31, 1999 would not have a material
adverse effect on the Company.

  The Health Care Information Technology project team has substantially
completed its assessment efforts with respect to internal systems except for
certain remote locations. The Company expects that remediation efforts with
respect to all of the Health Care Information Technology's material internal
systems will be completed by September 30, 1999, with the exception of the
foregoing remote locations, as to which the assessment is ongoing.

Costs

  The Company incurred costs of approximately $14 million in fiscal 1999 and
$7 million in fiscal 1998, associated with modifications to the Company's
existing systems to make them Year 2000 ready, related testing and outside
consulting. The Company expects to incur costs of between $10 million and $20
million in fiscal

                         FINANCIAL REVIEW--(Continued)

2000 for a total project cost of less than $45 million. Such costs are being
expensed as incurred. The costs associated with creating Year 2000-compliant
versions of the Health Care Information Technology segment's software products
have not been separately tracked, as the underlying activities were performed
in the ordinary course of the segment's business. Year 2000 Project costs are
difficult to estimate accurately and the project cost could change due to
unanticipated technological difficulties, project vendor delays, project
vendor cost overruns and the degree to which systems of newly acquired
businesses are compliant.

Risks

  Because of the range of possible issues and the large number of variables
involved (including the Year 2000 readiness of any entities acquired by the
Company), it is impossible to quantify the potential cost of problems should
the Company's remediation efforts or the efforts of those with whom it does
business not be successful. Such costs and any failure of such remediation
efforts could result in a loss of business, damage to the Company's
reputation, and legal liability. Consequently, any such costs or failures
could have a material adverse effect on the Company.

  The Health Care Information Technology segment may experience an increase in
warranty claims relating to (i) malfunctions in Company products which have
not been upgraded, either because the Company has discontinued support for
such products and has therefore not provided the necessary enhancement or
because the customer has not installed an enhancement made available by the
Company or (ii) malfunctions resulting from Year 2000 problems in third-party
hardware or software used in connection with the operation of Company software
products. Although such warranty claims are generally subject to contractual
liability limitations, the Company is not able to accurately assess or
estimate the possible impact of such claims.

  Finally, management believes that the costs of work by customers related to
Year 2000 issues have caused some Health Care Information Technology customers
and prospective customers to defer current projects or prospective decisions
regarding the acquisition of new software.

  The Company believes that the most likely risks of serious Year 2000
business disruptions are external in nature, such as (i) disruptions in
telecommunications, electric, or transportation services, (ii) failure of
third party payors or insurers to provide timely reimbursement to the
Company's customers and (iii) noncompliance of smaller trading partners. Of
all the external risks, the Company believes the most reasonably likely worst
case scenario would be a business disruption resulting from an extended and/or
extensive communications failure. With its extensive use of technology, the
Company is now dependent on data and voice communications to receive, process,
track and bill customers orders, move funds, replenish product and complete
other activities critical to the Company's business. Based on the Company's
information regarding the readiness of its major communications carriers and
the redundancy built into the Company's network architecture, as well as the
Company's developing contingency plans, the Company expects that any such
disruption would be likely to be localized and of short duration, and would
therefore not be likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company.

Contingency Plans

  Business disruptions in the form of floods, blizzards, hurricanes,
earthquakes, and power failures are a normal part of the Company's contingency
planning. In an effort to reduce the risks associated with the Year 2000
problems, the Company has established and is currently continuing to develop
Year 2000 contingency plans that build upon existing disaster recovery and
contingency plans. Examples of the Company's existing contingency plans
include alternative electronic and manual means for placing and receiving
orders, and alternative power supplies and communication lines.

  The Company's contingency planning methodology attempts to identify,
explore, and document every potential failure point, internal and external in
each of the Company's businesses. Failure points are then prioritized based on
likelihood and criticality. Contingency plans are then developed for each of
the potential failure points deemed likely and/or critical. Included in the
Company's contingency plan are preparations that need to be completed
currently (such as printing special forms to be used in the event operations
shift into contingency mode, identifying the triggers for shifting into
contingency mode, and appointing and training resource response teams),
identification of alternate processes to be used in the event of
contingencies, as well as design of the process for exiting contingency mode.

  Contingency planning for possible Year 2000 disruptions will continue to be
defined, improved, and implemented.

                         INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

The Stockholders and Board of Directors of
McKesson HBOC, Inc:

  We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of McKesson
HBOC, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of March 31, 1999, 1998, and
1997, and the related statements of consolidated income, consolidated
stockholders' equity and consolidated cash flows for the years then ended. Our
audits also included the supplementary consolidated financial statement
schedule listed in Item 14 (a). These consolidated financial statements and
supplementary consolidated financial statement schedule are the responsibility
of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on
these consolidated financial statements and supplementary consolidated
financial statement schedule based on our audits. The consolidated financial
statements and supplementary consolidated financial statement schedule give
retroactive effect to the merger of McKesson Corporation and subsidiaries and
HBO & Company and subsidiaries ("HBOC") on January 12, 1999, which has been
accounted for as a pooling of interests as described in Note 1 to the
consolidated financial statements. We did not audit the consolidated financial
statements or supplementary consolidated financial statement schedule of HBOC
as of and for the years ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, which statements
reflect total assets of $1,698.9 million and $1,264.9 million as of March 31,
1998 and 1997, respectively, revenues of $1,429.2 and $1,129.4 million, and
net income of $151.1 million and $77.0 million for the years ended March 31,
1998 and 1997, respectively. Those consolidated statements and supplementary
consolidated financial statement schedule were audited by other auditors whose
report (which expresses an unqualified opinion and includes an explanatory
paragraph related to certain shareholder litigation) has been furnished to us,
and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for HBOC as of
and for the years ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, is based solely on the report
of such other auditors.

  We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits and the report of other
auditors provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

  In our opinion, based on our audits and the report of other auditors, the
consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of the Company at March 31, 1999,
1998, and 1997, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the
years then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
Also, in our opinion, based on our audits and the report of other auditors,
such supplementary consolidated financial statement schedule, when considered
in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole,
presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.

  As discussed in Financial Note 19 to the consolidated financial statements,
the Company is involved in certain shareholder litigation related to HBOC.

                   REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

To McKesson HBOC, Inc.:

We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of HBO & COMPANY (a Delaware
corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of McKesson HBOC, Inc.) AND
SUBSIDIARIES as of March 31, 1998 and 1997 and the related consolidated
statements of income, stockholders' equity, and cash flows (not presented
herein) for the years then ended. These financial statements and the schedule
referred to below are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and
schedule based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of HBO & Company and
subsidiaries as of March 31, 1998 and 1997 and the results of their operations
and their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedule, valuation
and qualifying accounts (not presented herein), is presented to comply with
the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and is not part of the basic
financial statements. This schedule has been subjected to the auditing
procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our
opinion, fairly states in all material respects the financial data required to
be set forth therein in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a
whole.

As discussed in Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements, McKesson
HBOC, Inc. is involved in certain shareholder litigation related to the
Company.

                                FINANCIAL NOTES

1. HBOC Transaction

  On January 12, 1999, McKesson Corporation ("McKesson") completed a merger
with HBO & Company ("HBOC"), a leading health care information technology
company, by exchanging 177 million shares of McKesson common stock for all of
the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of HBOC (the "HBOC
Transaction"). Each share of HBOC stock was exchanged for 0.37 of a share of
McKesson common stock. The merged company was renamed McKesson HBOC, Inc.
("McKessonHBOC" or the "Company"). The merger was structured as a tax-free
reorganization and was accounted for as a pooling of interests.

  The historical financial statements give retroactive effect to the HBOC
Transaction and other acquisitions completed by McKesson and HBOC in fiscal
year 1999 accounted for under the pooling of interests method. Transaction
costs related to such acquisitions have been included in the Statements of
Consolidated Income. See Financial Note 4.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

  The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the financial
statements of all majority-owned companies, except those classified as
discontinued operations. All significant intercompany transactions and
balances have been eliminated. Certain prior year amounts have been
reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

  The Company is organized under three operating segments, Health Care Supply
Management, Health Care Information Technology, and Water Products. Within the
United States and Canada, the Health Care Supply Management segment is a
leading wholesale distributor of ethical and proprietary drugs, medical-
surgical supplies and health and beauty care products principally to chain and
independent drug stores, hospitals, alternate care sites, food stores and mass
merchandisers. The Health Care Information Technology segment delivers
enterprise-wide patient care, clinical, financial, managed care, payor and
strategic management software solutions, as well as networking technologies,
electronic commerce, outsourcing and other services to health care
organizations throughout the United States and certain foreign countries. The
Water Products segment is engaged in the processing and sale of bottled
drinking water to homes and businesses and packaged water through retail
stores.

  The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires that management make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the
financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during
the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

  Cash and Cash Equivalents include all highly liquid debt instruments
purchased with a maturity of three months or less at the date of acquisition.

  Marketable Securities Available for Sale are carried at fair value and the
net unrealized gains and losses, net of the related tax effect, computed in
marking these securities to market have been reported within stockholders'
equity. At March 31, 1999, the fair value approximated the amortized cost of
these securities. The investments mature on various dates through fiscal 2000.

  Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Inventories of the
Health Care Supply Management and Water Products segments consist of
merchandise held for resale with the majority of the cost of domestic
inventories determined on the last-in first-out (LIFO) method and
international inventories stated at average cost. Health Care Information
Technology segment inventories consist of computer hardware with cost
determined either by the specific identification or first-in, first-out (FIFO)
method.

                         FINANCIAL NOTES--(Continued)


  Property, Plant and Equipment is stated at cost and depreciated on the
straight-line method at rates designed to distribute the cost of properties
over estimated service lives ranging from one to 45 years.

  Capitalized Software primarily reflects costs of the Health Care Information
Technology segment to develop software products once the project has reached
the point of technological feasibility. Management monitors the net realizable
value of all software development investments to ensure that the investment
will be recovered through future sales. Completed projects are amortized after
reaching the point of general availability using the straight-line method
based on an estimated useful life of three years.

  The Company capitalized software development costs of $56.3 million, $41.8
million, and $33.7 million in fiscal 1999, 1998, and 1997, respectively.
Amortization of capitalized software costs totaled $25.9 million,
$21.3 million and $16.6 million in 1999, 1998, and 1997, respectively. Royalty
fees of $39.0 million, $32.1 million and $30.8 million, were expensed in 1999,
1998 and 1997, respectively, for software provided by third-party business
partners.

  Capitalized software of the Health Care Supply Management and Water Products
segments, included in other assets, reflects costs related to internally
developed or purchased software for projects with costs in excess of $250,000
that are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over periods not
exceeding seven years.

  Goodwill and Other Intangibles are amortized on a straight-line basis over
periods estimated to be benefited, generally 3 to 40 years. Negative goodwill
arising from the acquisition of the FoxMeyer business is being amortized over
a five-year period (see Financial Note 4). Accumulated amortization balances
netted against goodwill and other intangibles were $175.1 million, $133.1
million, and $101.0 million at March 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

  Long-lived Assets. The Company periodically assesses the recoverability of
the cost of its long-lived assets, including goodwill, based on a review of
projected undiscounted cash flows associated with these assets. These cash
flows are prepared and reviewed by management in connection with the Company's
annual long range planning process. See Financial Note 5 for charges the
Company has recorded related to impairment of assets.

  Insurance Programs. Under the Company's insurance programs, coverage is
obtained for catastrophic exposures as well as those risks required to be
insured by law or contract. It is the policy of the Company to retain a
significant portion of certain losses related primarily to workers'
compensation, physical loss to property, business interruption resulting from
such loss, and comprehensive general, product, and vehicle liability.
Provisions for losses expected under these programs are recorded based upon
the Company's estimates of the aggregate liability for claims incurred. Such
estimates utilize certain actuarial assumptions followed in the insurance
industry.

  Revenue Recognition. Revenues of the Health Care Supply Management and Water
Products segments are recognized when products are shipped or services are
provided to customers. Included in these revenues are large volume sales of
pharmaceuticals to major self-warehousing drugstore chains whereby the Company
acts as an intermediary in the order and subsequent delivery of products
directly from the manufacturer to the customers' warehouses. These sales
totaled $6.8 billion in 1999, $2.7 billion in 1998 and $2.8 billion in 1997.

  On April 1, 1998, the Company adopted Statement of Position (SOP) 97-2,
"Software Revenue Recognition". Previously the Company utilized SOP 91-1,
"Software Revenue Recognition". Revenues of the Health Care Information
Technology segment include systems and services revenues. Information systems
are marketed under equipment purchase and software license agreements as well
as service agreements. One-time software and hardware revenue is generally
recognized when the Company ensures that there is persuasive evidence that an
arrangement exists, the fee is fixed and determinable, collectibility is
probable and the software

                              MCKESSON HBOC, INC.

                         FINANCIAL NOTES--(Continued)

or hardware, as applicable, has been shipped. The Company's contracts
generally allow separate accounting treatment for the systems and services
components of the agreement. The Company also licenses software using
multiyear agreements under which revenue is recognized on a subscription basis
over the term of the agreement. Implementation fees and outsourcing services
are recognized as the work is performed. Revenue from software maintenance
contracts sold together with licenses is deferred when the license agreement
is executed and recognized ratably over the contract term. Maintenance and
support agreements sold separately are marketed under annual and multiyear
agreements and are recognized ratably over the period covered by the
agreements. Electronic commerce and remote processing services are recognized
monthly as the work is performed.

  Also included in revenues is interest income of $37.9 million, $37.6
million, and $28.6 million in fiscal 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

  Income Taxes. The Company accounts for income taxes under the liability
method in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS")
No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes". See Financial Note 16.

  Foreign Currency Translation. Assets and liabilities of the Company's
foreign affiliates are translated at current exchange rates, while revenue and
expenses are translated at average rates prevailing during the year.
Translation adjustments related to the Company's foreign operations are
reported as a component of stockholders' equity.

  Derivative Financial Instruments. The Company's policy generally is to use
financial derivatives only to manage exposure to fluctuations in interest and
foreign currency exchange rates. The Company has entered into interest rate
and currency swap agreements to hedge certain interest and currency rate risks
which are accounted for using the settlement basis of accounting. Premiums
paid on interest rate and currency swap agreements are deferred and amortized
to interest expense over the life of the underlying hedged instrument, or
immediately if the underlying hedged instrument is settled. No gains or losses
are recorded for movements in the swaps' values during the terms of the
respective agreements.

  Employee Stock Options. The Company uses the intrinsic value method to
account for stock-based compensation in accordance with Accounting Principles
Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees". See
Financial Note 15 for the disclosures of pro forma earnings and earnings per
share had the fair value method been used to account for stock-based employee
compensation plans in accordance with SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-
Based Compensation".

  New Accounting Pronouncements. In fiscal year 1999, the Company adopted SFAS
No. 130 "Reporting Comprehensive Income", SFAS No. 131 "Disclosures about
Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information" and SFAS No. 132
"Employers' Disclosures about Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits".

  SFAS No. 130 requires an enterprise report, by major components and as a
single total, the change in its net assets, during the period from non-owner
sources. The components of comprehensive income are shown in the Statements of
Consolidated Stockholders' Equity.

  SFAS No. 131 changes the way companies report segment information and
requires segments to be determined and reported based on how management
measures performance and makes decisions about allocating resources. See
Financial Note 18.

  FAS No. 132 revises employers' disclosures about pension and other
postretirement benefit plans. It does not change the measurement or
recognition of those plans. This Statement standardizes the disclosure
requirements for pensions and other postretirement benefits to the extent
practicable, requires additional

information on changes in the benefit obligation and fair values of plan
assets that will facilitate financial analysis and eliminates certain
disclosures. Restatement of disclosures as of and for the years ended March
31, 1998 and 1997 has been made for comparative purposes. See Financial Note
17.

  In 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No.
133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities", which
established accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments,
including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts
(collectively referred to as derivatives) and for hedging activities. It
requires that an entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or
liabilities in the statement of financial position and measure these
instruments at fair value. SFAS No. 133 is expected to be effective for the
Company's fiscal year 2002. The Company is currently evaluating what impact,
if any, SFAS No. 133 may have on its consolidated financial statements.

3. Restatement

  In April 1999, the Company discovered improper accounting practices (see
Financial Note 19) at HBOC. The Audit Committee of the Company's Board of
Directors initiated an investigation into such matters. As a result of the
findings of the investigation, the Company's consolidated financial statements
reflect amounts for HBOC (pre-merger) that are restated from those previously
reported by HBOC (pre-merger) in its fiscal 1999 quarterly results and annual
results for fiscal 1998 and 1997. Statements of income for the three-month
period and year ended March 31, 1999, and the balance sheet at March 31, 1999,
are not presented because the HBOC Transaction occurred on January 12, 1999,
therefore, HBOC had not previously reported its results for these periods.
Management has made all adjustments considered necessary as a result of the
investigations into these improper accounting practices.

  In addition, the Company's consolidated financial statements give
retroactive effect to the HBOC Transaction and other acquisitions completed by
McKesson and HBOC in fiscal 1999 accounted for under the pooling of interests
method.

  The following statements of income and balance sheets reconcile previously
reported and restated financial information. The unaudited statements of
income for the three-month periods ended June 30, 1998, September 30, 1998,
and December 31, 1998, include all adjustments necessary for a fair
presentation of the results of operations for such periods.

                         FINANCIAL NOTES--(Continued)

 HBOC As Previously Reported

  Prior to its merger with McKesson, HBOC's fiscal year end was December 31.
HBOC's financial statements were recast to a March 31 year end. Accordingly,
the previously reported 1998 and 1997 HBOC calendar year first quarter net
income of $64.9 million and $38.4 million, respectively, have been added and
the 1997 and 1996 HBOC calendar year first quarter net income of $38.4 million
and $23.6 million, respectively, have been subtracted from the respective 1997
and 1996 HBOC calendar years to derive the previously reported HBOC financial
information for the twelve months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997. All share and
earnings per share amounts have been restated to reflect the fiscal 1999 two-
for-one stock split effected in the form of a stock dividend. In addition,
certain reclassifications have been made to conform to McKesson's financial
statement presentation. The twelve months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997 as
shown have not been previously presented in this format.

 Improper Application of SOP 97-2 or SOP 91-1

  These adjustments represent the net effects of the reversal or deferral of
software, hardware and services revenues (including related maintenance) and
other related items because the conditions required for revenue recognition by
SOP 97-2, or SOP 91-1, were not met at the time revenue was recognized. In
addition, the adjustments include the net deferral of software revenues
recognized under multiyear agreements that are required to be recognized over
the term of the contract.

 Contingent Revenues Improperly Recognized

  These adjustments represent the net effects of the reversal or deferral of
software, hardware and services revenues and other related items because the
sales were contingent upon a future event which had not occurred, such as
board approval, legal review or third party financing. In most cases these
contingencies were contained in side letters or other agreements outside of
the normal contract process.

 Backdated Contracts

  These adjustments represent the net effects of the reversal or deferral of
software, hardware and services revenues and other related items because the
customer contracts were determined to have been signed subsequent to quarter
end and backdated such that revenue was prematurely recognized. These
adjustments include the offsetting effect of revenues recognized under these
contracts in the periods the contracts were actually signed.

 Other Adjustments to Statements of Income

  These adjustments primarily include other revenue adjustments related to the
timing of recognition of customer credit memos and one nonmonetary transaction
in the quarter ended September 30, 1998 where the earnings process was not
complete, expense underaccruals (including commissions and bad debt
provisions), and the reversal of certain excess accruals recorded by HBOC in
conjunction with acquisitions.

 Effect of Pooling Transactions

  These adjustments include the results of operations and financial position
of acquired companies, other than the HBOC Transaction, for which the pooling
of interests method was utilized.

 Adjustments to Balance Sheets

  These adjustments represent the balance sheet impact of the adjustments
described above to the Statements of Income, and consist primarily of the
reversal of accounts receivable and deferred maintenance revenues related to
the revenue reversals and liability adjustments related to expense accruals.
Receivables which had been sold and removed from the balance sheet were
reinstated, along with the related obligation, because accounting requirements
for removal had not been met. In addition, certain reclassifications have been
made to conform to the Company's fiscal 1999 consolidated financial statement
presentation.

stock (equivalent to approximately 6.8 million shares of Company common stock
after application of the Exchange Ratio).

  Also in December 1997, the Company completed the acquisition of National
Health Enhancement Systems, Inc. ("NHES"), a provider of health care

of the Exchange Ratio).

  In August 1996, the Company completed the acquisition of CyCare Systems,
Inc. ("CyCare"), a provider of physician practice management software systems

  In connection with the acquisitions discussed above, which were accounted
for as pooling of interests, the Company incurred transaction costs, primarily
consisting of professional fees such as investment banking, legal and
accounting fees, of $84.9 million, $32.7 million and $17.2 million for the
years ended March 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The costs for the
year ended March 31, 1999 include approximately $6.6 million of transaction
costs associated with various terminated transactions which had been explored
by the Company, and for the year ended March 31, 1998 include approximately
$16.7 million of transaction costs associated with the terminated merger with
AmeriSource Health Corporation.

  In addition, the Company incurred costs of $88.7 million and $1.4 million
during the years ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively, primarily
related to benefits received by employees in connection with change of control
provisions, signing and retention bonuses granted and retirement and employee
benefits granted associated with acquisitions.

 Purchase Transactions:

  The following acquisitions were accounted for under the purchase method and
the results of operations of the acquired businesses have been included in the
consolidated financial statements since their respective acquisition dates:

  In September 1998, the Company acquired MedManagement LLC, a pharmacy
management, purchasing, consulting and information services company, for
approximately $38 million in cash. The acquisition was funded with debt. The
excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired of
$41 million is being amortized on a straight-line basis over 40 years.

  In November 1998, the Company acquired Red Line Healthcare Corporation
("RedLine"), a distributor of medical supplies and services to the extended-
care industry, including long-term-care and home-care sites for approximately
$233 million in cash. The acquisition was funded with debt. The valuation of
the RedLine net

                         FINANCIAL NOTES--(Continued)

assets acquired included the recognition of liabilities totaling $5.8 million
related to closures of duplicate facilities, and involuntary termination and
relocation benefits which remained outstanding as of March 31, 1999. The
excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired of
$149 million is being amortized on a straight-line basis over 40 years.

  In fiscal 1999, the Company also made a number of smaller acquisitions
including six distributors of first-aid products and five water processing
businesses. The aggregate cost of these acquisitions, accounted for as
purchases, totaled approximately $35 million.

  In August 1997, the Company's Canadian health care distribution business,
Medis Health and Pharmaceutical Services Inc. ("Medis") announced an agreement
with Drug Trading Company, Limited ("Drug Trading") to transition Drug
Trading's retail customers to Medis over a six-month period. The Company
acquired assets consisting primarily of accounts receivable, inventories and
customer contracts, for approximately $83 million in cash. The transaction was
funded with proceeds from operations and short-term borrowings. This
acquisition was accounted for under the purchase accounting method and the
excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired of
$9.2 million is being amortized on a straight-line basis over 40 years.

  In October 1997, the Company acquired AT&T's UK Specialist Health Care
Services Division ("ATT-UK"), a provider of software solutions and remote
processing services for financial and payroll needs of health care providers
in the United Kingdom for approximately $30 million in cash. In connection
with the acquisition, the Company wrote off $7.7 million of purchase price
allocated to in-process technology. These costs were expensed as of the
acquisition date.

  In fiscal 1998, the Company also made a number of smaller acquisitions
including six distributors of first-aid products, two distributors of medical-
surgical supplies, and a pharmaceuticals distributor. The aggregate cost of
these acquisitions, accounted for as purchases, amounted to approximately $20
million.

  On February 21, 1997, the Company acquired General Medical Inc. ("MGM"), a
multi-market distributor of medical-surgical supplies to acute-care, primary
care, and extended-care markets, for approximately $775 million including the
issuance of approximately 5.6 million shares of the Company's common stock and
the assumption of approximately $428 million in debt. The valuation of the MGM
net assets acquired included the recognition of liabilities totaling $7.9
million related to closures of duplicate facilities and involuntary
termination and relocation benefits, of which $0 million, $1.0 million and
$7.3 million remained outstanding as of March 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997,
respectively. Changes to the reserve in fiscal 1999 and 1998 consisted
primarily of cash payments for severance benefits and costs to close down
duplicate facilities. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of
the net assets acquired of approximately $600 million is being amortized on a
straight-line basis over 40 years.

  On November 8, 1996, the Company acquired FoxMeyer Corporation's
pharmaceutical distribution business ("FoxMeyer"), pursuant to an expedited
auction process in the FoxMeyer Corporation bankruptcy proceeding in
Wilmington, Delaware. The Company paid approximately $23 million in cash to
the debtors, paid off approximately $500 million in secured debt, and assumed
an additional $75 million in other liabilities. The Company utilized proceeds
from commercial paper issuances and a note payable to a bank to fund the
transaction. The note payable was repaid prior to March 31, 1997, with cash
flow from operations and proceeds from divestitures. The Company acquired
assets consisting primarily of accounts receivable and inventories of
approximately $650 million, customer contracts and property and equipment.

  As further discussed in Financial Note 5, as a result of the FoxMeyer
acquisition, management assessed strategies and program offerings and
initiated a plan to optimize the network configuration from the combined

distribution centers of the Company and those acquired. This plan was
reflected in the valuation of the FoxMeyer net assets acquired. The plan to
consolidate the FoxMeyer business was executed during the latter part of
fiscal 1997, fiscal 1998 and fiscal 1999. Liabilities of $37.6 million were
recognized for costs associated with closures of duplicate distribution
centers and workforce reductions of which $0.3 million, $3.0 million and $21.9
million remained outstanding as of March 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997,
respectively. Reductions in the reserves in fiscal 1999 and 1998 consisted
primarily of cash payments for severance benefits and costs related to
FoxMeyer facility closures. The excess of the fair value of net assets
acquired over the purchase price, after reducing to zero the carrying value of
long-term assets expected to be retained for use by the Company, of $28
million (negative goodwill) is being amortized over 5 years.

  The following unaudited pro forma information for fiscal 1997 has been
prepared assuming FoxMeyer and MGM had been acquired as of the beginning of
the year (in millions except per share amounts):

     Basic...........................................................     (0.75)
</TABLE>

  The unaudited pro forma information above is not indicative of the
consolidated financial position or results of operations of the Company as
they may be in the future or as they might have been had the MGM and FoxMeyer
acquisitions been effected on the assumed dates. For instance, due to
FoxMeyer's bankruptcy filing on August 27, 1996, and the resulting
deterioration in its operations through November 8, 1996, FoxMeyer experienced
a decline in its sales base, wrote off its goodwill and other intangibles
totaling $207.9 million, and established substantial accounts receivable and
inventory reserves and an additional valuation allowance for deferred tax
assets aggregating $153.4 million during the period from April 1, 1996 to
November 8, 1996.

  Unaudited pro forma information is not presented for acquisitions accounted
for by the purchase method during the years ended March 31, 1999, 1998 and
1997, other than FoxMeyer and MGM, as the impact on consolidated revenues, net
income and net income per share would not be significant.

  In April 1996, the Company acquired Automated Healthcare, Inc. ("MAH") for
$61.4 million in cash and the assumption of $3.2 million of employee stock
incentives. MAH designs, manufactures, sells, and installs automated
pharmaceutical dispensing equipment for use by health care institutions. The
goodwill related to the acquisition of approximately $13.4 million is being
amortized on a straight-line basis over ten years. A $48.2 million charge was
recorded to write off the portion of the purchase price of MAH allocated to
in-process technology for which technological feasibility had not been
established as of the acquisition date and for which there were no alternative
uses. Existing technology was valued at $0.4 million and is being amortized on
a straight-line basis over a three-year period. The Company utilized a
discounted cash flow methodology by product line to value in-process and
existing technologies as of the acquisition date.

Divestitures:

  On March 31, 1997, the Company sold its service merchandising unit,
Millbrook Distribution Services, Inc. ("Millbrook"), to R.A.B. Holdings, Inc.
The after-tax proceeds on the sale approximated Millbrook's book value.

  In March 1997, the Company sold its Aqua-Vend vended water business ("Aqua-
Vend"), a unit of the Water Products segment. The after-tax proceeds on the
sale approximated Aqua-Vend's book value, after giving effect to the $7.0
million pre-tax provision for impairment of certain assets recorded in the
third quarter of fiscal 1997. See Financial Note 5.

  In December 1996, the Company sold its 55% equity interest in Armor All
Products Corporation ("Armor All") to The Clorox Company for $221.9 million
and recognized an after-tax gain of $120.2 million. At closing, after-tax
proceeds of $109.8 million replaced the 6.9 million Armor All shares held in
trust as exchange property for the Company's $180 million exchangeable
subordinated debentures, see Financial Note 11.

  All of the net assets and results of operations of both Armor All and
Millbrook are classified as discontinued operations.

5. Restructuring and Asset Impairments

  In fiscal 1999, 1998 and 1997 the Company recorded charges for
restructurings and asset impairments of $144.6 million, $54.3 million, and
$126.8 million, respectively. The major components of the charges are as
follows:

</TABLE>

 Fiscal 1999

Health Care Supply Management

  In fiscal 1999, the Company identified six distribution centers for closure
to be completed by the middle of fiscal 2000. The Company recorded a charge of
$25.5 million related to such closures. Of this charge, $21.7 million was
required to reduce the carrying value of facility assets to their estimated
fair value less disposal costs, and $3.8 million was related to computer
hardware and software which will no longer be used at such facilities. Fair
value was determined based on sales of similar assets, appraisals, and/or
other estimates such as discounting of estimated future cash flows.
Considerable management judgment is necessary to estimate fair values,
accordingly, actual results could vary significantly from such estimates. Also
related to such closures, a charge of $17.2 million was recorded for other
exit-related costs. These primarily consist of costs to prepare facilities for
disposal, lease costs and property taxes required subsequent to termination of
operations, as well as the write-off of costs related to duplicate assets
which do not have future use by the Company. $25.5 million of the
$42.7 million discussed above was non-cash.

  As part of this plan, the Company recorded a severance charge of $13.3
million for workforce reductions. The severance charge relates to the
termination of approximately 1,000 employees, primarily in distribution
centers and associated back-office functions. Severance of $2.7 million was
paid during fiscal 1999. The remaining severance will be paid in fiscal 2000.

  The Company also wrote off $23.5 million (non-cash) of computer hardware and
software which were abandoned as the result of an acquisition during the year.

Health Care Information Technology

  In fiscal 1999, the Health Care Information Technology segment completed
several acquisitions. In connection with these acquisitions, and the merger
with McKesson, plans were approved by management to consolidate facilities,
reduce workforce and eliminate duplicate products and internal systems.

  In order to effect these plans, the Company identified workforce reductions,
including both acquired company and Company personnel, and recorded severance
costs of $18.6 million (net of a $3 million reversal of previously recorded
severance obligations which were determined to be in excess). The severance
charge relates

                              McKESSON HBOC, INC.

                         FINANCIAL NOTES--(Continued)

to the termination of approximately 550 employees, primarily in development
and administrative functions. Severance of $6.4 million was paid during fiscal
1999. The remaining severance will be paid in fiscal 2000.

  In addition, duplicate facilities, products and internal systems were
identified for elimination, resulting in charges of $22.2 million, relating
principally to the write-off of capitalized costs, lease termination costs,
and royalty agreements which were terminated at a cost of $12.0 million
because products subject to minimum royalty payments to third parties were
replaced with acquired products. In addition, following the HBOC Transaction,
the Company evaluated the performance of a foreign business and elected to
shut down its facility. Charges of $11.6 million were recorded, principally
related to the write-off of goodwill to fair value based on discounted cash
flows. Revenues and net operating income for this foreign business were not
significant in fiscal 1999. Certain investments became impaired during fiscal
1999 and were written down by $4.3 million to their net realizable values
based primarily on discounted cash flows, and other reserves of $4.1 million
were recorded to cover customer and other claims arising out of the
acquisitions. Substantially all of the above charges were non-cash asset
write-offs.

Water Products

  Upon completion of certain acquisitions accounted for as pooling of
interests during fiscal 1999, the Company identified and wrote off $2.5
million of computer equipment and other assets which were abandoned. In
addition, management decided to close down an acquired bottling facility
during fiscal 2000 which was determined to be inefficient, and recorded $0.4
million of estimated costs required to prepare the facility for closure which
are expected to be paid during fiscal 2000.

  As a result of duplicative functions arising from certain acquisitions, the
Company recorded a charge of $1.4 million for workforce reductions of
approximately 100 operational and management personnel, primarily in overhead
functions. The individuals will be terminated and severance paid in fiscal
2000.

  The charges discussed above have been recorded in selling, distribution and
administrative expenses. During fiscal 1999 there were no significant changes
in estimates or recharacterization of amounts from restructuring reserves
recorded in prior years.

 Fiscal 1998

Health Care Supply Management

  The Company recorded a charge of $9.4 million for workforce reductions
announced in fiscal 1998. The severance charge relates to the termination of
approximately 600 employees, primarily in distribution center and back-office
functions. Approximately 200 of these employees had been terminated, and
$2.8 million of severance costs had been paid during fiscal 1998. The
remaining employees were terminated, and the remaining severance was paid, in
fiscal 1999. In addition, $3.7 million was recorded due to the loss on the
sale of an investment, and a charge of $0.7 million associated with the
closure of a facility in Canada.

Health Care Information Technology

  In fiscal 1998, the Health Care Information Technology segment completed
several acquisitions. In connection with these acquisitions, duplicate
products, facilities and internal systems were eliminated and, employees were
terminated. In addition, a minority investment became impaired.

  The Company identified workforce reductions, including both acquired company
and Company personnel, and recorded severance costs of $8.1 million. Severance
of $4.6 million was paid during fiscal 1998 and the remaining severance was
paid in fiscal 1999.

  Duplicate products, facilities and internal systems were identified which
resulted in charges of $22.4 million (non-cash), consisting primarily of
capitalized costs and intangible write-offs of $19.3 million related to
discontinuance of certain product lines. Revenues and net income from the
discontinued product lines were replaced by acquired product lines. In
addition, a $10.0 million minority investment became impaired and was written
off (non-cash).

  The charges discussed above have been recorded in selling, distribution and
administrative expenses. During fiscal 1998 there were no significant changes
in estimates or recharacterization of amounts from restructuring reserves
recorded in prior years.

 Fiscal 1997

Health Care Supply Management

  The acquisition of the assets and operations of FoxMeyer (see Financial Note
4) resulted in a significant increase in sales volume, a substantial change in
the customer mix (primarily a large increase in institutional customers), and
overlapping, duplicate, and "similar purpose" assets. As a result of this
acquisition, management reassessed the Company's operations, distribution
center network and business strategies, including program offerings. As a
result of this reassessment, management developed a plan to optimize the U.S.
network configuration from the combined distribution centers of the Company
and those acquired from FoxMeyer. At the same time, management approved a plan
to rationalize the distribution network and eliminate certain facilities being
used at its Canadian subsidiary. These plans resulted in the closure of 15
distribution facilities, and the disposal of duplicate assets during fiscal
1997 and into fiscal 1998.

  In connection with the plans discussed above, during fiscal 1997 the Company
recorded charges of $10.1 million (non-cash) to reduce the carrying value of
the distribution facilities to their estimated fair value less disposal costs.
Fair value was determined based on sales of similar assets, appraisals, and/or
other estimates such as discounting of estimated future cash flows.
Considerable management judgment is necessary to estimate fair values,
accordingly, actual results could vary significantly from such estimates.

  Subsequent to the acquisition of FoxMeyer, management reassessed strategies
and program offerings for expanding certain customer markets in light of the
larger and more diverse customer base, and identified certain programs and
investments that would no longer be pursued as originally contemplated. As a
result, the Company recorded charges of $28.0 million (primarily non-cash) for
the write off of costs incurred to develop systems and other product offering
for customers that would no longer be used or sold. In addition, management
reevaluated it current systems capabilities and needs, in light of the
resources acquired through FoxMeyer, and identified several systems which were
duplicate or not providing benefits to the combined company. This resulted in
a charge of $29.3 million (primarily non-cash) for the write off of hardware
and software systems which were abandoned by the Company.

Health Care Information Technology

  In fiscal 1997, the Health Care Information Technology segment completed
several acquisitions. In connection with these acquisitions, duplicate
products were eliminated, and employees were terminated. In addition, a non-
compete agreement of an acquired company was written off.

                         FINANCIAL NOTES--(Continued)


  The Company identified workforce reductions, including both acquired company
and Company operating and corporate personnel, and recorded severance costs of
$12.0 million. Severance of $8.8 million was paid during fiscal 1997 and the
remaining severance was paid in fiscal 1998.

  The elimination of duplicate products resulted in charges of $22.8 million,
consisting primarily of the write-off of capitalized costs and intangibles,
and reserves for customer settlements. Revenues and net income from the
discontinued product lines were replaced by acquired product lines. In
addition, a $12.3 million intangible representing a non-compete agreement of
an acquired company and $5.3 million of other assets and investments were
written off because they were determined to have no future value to the
Company. Of the above charges, $32.7 million were non-cash asset write-offs,
$3.0 million were paid in fiscal 1997 and the remaining liabilities were paid
in fiscal 1998.

Water Products

  During fiscal 1997, management of the Water Products segment decided to exit
from the vended water business. Offers received from potential buyers
indicated that the net assets of this business were impaired. As a result, the
Company recorded a charge of $7.0 million (non-cash) to reduce the carrying
value to estimated fair value less disposal costs. The business was sold later
in fiscal 1997 with no significant additional gain or loss.

  The charges discussed above have been recorded in selling, distribution and
administrative expenses. During fiscal 1997 there were no significant changes
in estimates or recharacterization of amounts from restructuring reserves
recorded in prior years.

 Summary of Reserve Balances

  The remaining balances outstanding for the combined reserves at March 31,
1999, 1998 and 1997 are as follows, in millions:

6. Off-Balance Sheet Risk and Concentrations of Credit Risk

  Trade receivables subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk with
customers in the retail and institutional sectors. This risk is spread over a
large number of geographically dispersed customers.

  The Company entered into an accounts receivable sales program with a
financial institution in March 1999, 1998 and 1997, providing for the sale by
the Company of $400.0 million, $299.9 million and $147.4 million,
respectively, of undivided interests in the Company's total trade accounts
receivable. The program qualifies for sale treatment under SFAS No. 125,
"Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and
Extinguishments of Liabilities". The sales were recorded at the estimated fair
values of the receivables sold, reflecting discounts for the time value of
money based on U.S. commercial paper rates and estimated loss provisions.

  The Company's Canadian subsidiary, Medis, has agreements with certain of its
customers' financial institutions to repurchase inventory in the event the
customers are unable to meet certain obligations to the financial
institutions. Medis has also agreed to guarantee the payment of a major
customer's leases. The amounts

related to these guarantees were approximately $83.7 million for the inventory
and $17.2 million for the lease obligations at March 31, 1999.

  The Company's U.S. pharmaceutical distribution business has entered into
agreements to provide loans to certain customers some of which are on a
revolving basis. As of March 31, 1999, a total of $81.0 million of these
commitments remained outstanding. In addition, the Company has agreed to
guarantee a customer's $15 million loan to a bank.

  The Company has a revolving credit agreement with several U.S. and Canadian
banks whereby the banks commit $400 million borrowing availability at the
reference rate (7.75% at March 31, 1999) or money market-based rates. The
agreement expires in fiscal 2004. The agreement permits the Company's wholly-
owned Canadian subsidiary, Medis, to borrow the Canadian dollar equivalent of
up to $100 million (as part of the $400 million arrangement) at the Canadian
prime rate or Canadian money market-based rates. The agreement contains

on additional indebtedness. Compensating balances are not required. The
Company has an additional $800 million available for general purposes under a
facility with a duration of 364 days or less which is due to expire on
November 9, 1999. At March 31, 1999, the Company had $1.2 billion of unused
borrowing capacity under these agreements, which are used primarily to support
commercial paper borrowings.

  On May 28, 1999, the Company entered into a revolving credit agreement with
certain banks participating in the facility referred to in the previous
paragraph. This agreement provides the Company with additional credit in the
amount of $575 million, and it is due to expire on October 29, 1999. In
addition, the Company has a $750 million committed receivables sales facility
available.

  Total interest payments were $120.6 million, $97.3 million, and $55.6
million in fiscal 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

  ESOP related debt (see Note 17) is payable to banks and insurance companies,
bears interest at rates ranging from 8.6% fixed rate to approximately 80% of
prime or LIBOR +0.4% and is due in installments through 2009.

  In connection with the 4.5% exchangeable subordinated debentures, the March
31, 1999 marketable securities balance includes $22.9 million held in trust as
exchange property for the exchangeable subordinated debentures. Through March
31, 1999, the Company had repurchased $142.7 million of the exchangeable
subordinated debentures.

  In fiscal 1998, the Company entered into two interest rate swap agreements,
each with a notional principal amount of $150 million. The swaps mature in
2005 and 2008 and swap fixed interest payments of 6.30% and 6.40%,
respectively, for floating interest payments based on a LIBOR index; the
floating rates at March 31, 1999 were 5.24% and 5.14%, respectively. These
swaps include an imbedded interest rate cap of 7%.

  Also in fiscal 1998, a subsidiary of the Company entered into a currency
swap agreement to convert the $125 million proceeds from the issuance of
senior notes to $173 million Canadian currency, which was used to pay down
short-term borrowings of the Company's Canadian subsidiary, Medis. This swap
matures on November 1, 2002.

  Certain debt agreements require that the Company's total debt not exceed
56.5% of total capitalization (total debt plus equity). At March 31, 1999, the
Company was in compliance with its capitalization and other financial
covenants.

  Aggregate annual payments on long-term debt and capitalized lease
obligations (see Financial Note 13) for the years ending March 31 are:

12. Convertible Preferred Securities

  In February 1997, a wholly-owned subsidiary trust of the Company issued 4
million shares of preferred securities to the public and 123,720 common
securities to the Company, which are convertible at the holder's option into
McKesson HBOC common stock. The proceeds of such issuances were invested by
the trust in $206,186,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company's 5%
Convertible Junior Subordinated Debentures due 2027 (the "Debentures"). The
Debentures represent the sole assets of the trust. The Debentures mature on
June 1, 2027, bear interest at the rate of 5%, payable quarterly, and are
redeemable by the Company beginning in March 2000 at 103.5% of the principal
amount thereof.

  Holders of the securities are entitled to cumulative cash distributions at
an annual rate of 5% of the liquidation amount of $50 per security. Each
preferred security is convertible at the rate of 1.3418 shares of McKesson
HBOC common stock, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances. The
preferred securities will be redeemed upon repayment of the Debentures and are
callable by the Company at 103.5% of the liquidation amount beginning in March
2000.

  The Company has guaranteed, on a subordinated basis, distributions and other
payments due on the preferred securities (the "Guarantee"). The Guarantee,
when taken together with the Company's obligations under the Debentures and in
the indenture pursuant to which the Debentures were issued and the Company's
obligations under the Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust governing the
subsidiary trust, provides a full and unconditional guarantee of amounts due
on the preferred securities.

  The Debentures and related trust investment in the Debentures have been
eliminated in consolidation and the preferred securities reflected as
outstanding in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

13. Lease Obligations

  The Company leases facilities and equipment under both capital and operating
leases. Net assets held under capital leases included in property, plant and
equipment were $4.4 million, $4.6 million, and $4.6 million at March 31, 1999,
1998 and 1997, respectively. Amortization of capital leases is included in
depreciation expense.

  As of March 31, 1999, future minimum lease payments and sublease rentals in
years ending March 31 are:

  Most real property leases contain renewal options and provisions requiring
the Company to pay property taxes and operating expenses in excess of base
period amounts.

14. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

  At March 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, the carrying amounts of cash and cash
equivalents, marketable securities, receivables, drafts payable, accounts
payable-trade and other liabilities approximate their estimated fair values
because of the short maturity of these financial instruments. The estimated
fair values of the Company's remaining financial instruments, as determined
under SFAS No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments",
were as follows:

  The estimated fair values of these instruments were determined based on
quoted market prices or market comparables.

  At March 31, 1999, the Company had an investment in WebMD which had a cost
basis of $23 million. The fair value at that date was unknown because a
readily available market did not exist. Subsequent to year end, WebMD entered
into a merger transaction with Healtheon Corp., which if consummated, could
result in a value substantially above cost for the Company's investment.

  The estimated fair values may not be representative of actual values of the
financial instruments that could have been realized as of March 31, 1999, 1998
or 1997 or that will be realized in the future.

15. Stockholders' Equity

  On October 29, 1997, the Company's board of directors declared a two-for-one
split of the Company's common stock. The split was effective January 2, 1998
for shareholders of record on December 1, 1997. All share and per share
amounts have been restated for the split.

  Before giving effect to the acquisitions accounted for as pooling of
interests (see "HBOC Transaction" Financial Note 1 and "Acquisitions,
Investments and Divestitures" Financial Note 4), McKesson declared dividends
of $0.435, $0.50 and $0.50 per share and HBOC declared dividends of $0.04,
$0.035 and $0.02 per share, in fiscal years 1999, 1998, and 1997,
respectively.

  At March 31, 1999, 1998, and 1997, the Company was authorized to issue
100,000,000 shares of series preferred stock ($.01 par value) of which none
were outstanding and 400,000,000 shares of common stock ($.01 par value) of
which approximately 280,584,000 shares, 270,983,000 shares and 258,981,000
shares, respectively, were outstanding net of treasury stock.

  In October 1994, the Company's Board of Directors declared a dividend of one
right (a "Right") for each then outstanding share of common stock and
authorized the issuance of one Right for each share subsequently issued to
purchase, upon the occurrence of certain specified triggering events, a unit
consisting of one one hundredth of a share of Series A Junior Participating
Preferred Stock. Triggering events include, without

limitation, the acquisition by another entity of 15% or more of the Company's
common stock without the prior approval of the Company's Board. The Rights
have certain anti-takeover effects and will cause substantial dilution to the
ownership interest of a person or group that attempts to acquire the Company
on terms not approved by the Board. The Rights expire in 2004 unless redeemed
earlier by the Board. As a result of the two-for-one stock split described
earlier, each share of common stock now has attached to it one-half of a
Right.

basic and diluted per-share computations for income from continuing
operations:

                         FINANCIAL NOTES--(Continued)

  As of March 31, 1999, the Company had three stock option plans. The 1994
Stock Option and Restricted Stock Plan provides grants of nonqualified stock
options to employees of the Company, and, until January 1, 1997 to non-
employee directors. After January 1, 1997, all non-employee directors receive
grants under the 1997 Non-Employee Director's Equity Compensation and Deferral
Plan. The 1998 Canadian Stock Incentive Plan provides grants of nonqualified
stock options with stock appreciation rights to the Company's Canadian
employees. Most grants under the Director's Equity Compensation and Deferral
Plan vest immediately on grant date. Most other options generally vest over
four years and all options expire ten years after the grant date. Under the
plans, options are generally granted at prices not less than the fair value of
the stock on the date of grant. In fiscal 1999, two grants were made at below
market prices under the 1998 Canadian Stock Incentive Plan. Under the Plans,
the Company is authorized to grant up to 46.6 million shares, including 44.4
million for options as of March 31, 1999. In addition to the above-described
plans, options have been granted to certain key executives on generally the
same terms as those granted under the 1994 Plan. Finally, the Company has
assumed options of acquired companies in connection with the acquisition of
such companies.

  The following is a summary of options outstanding at March 31, 1999:

  Expiration dates range from April 13, 1999 to March 15, 2009.

  As a result of the change of control of McKesson at the time of the HBOC
Transaction on January 12, 1999, most options granted by McKesson which were
outstanding on that date vested. Due to certain tax and accounting issues, the
vesting for certain officers was postponed until April 22, 1999.

  The following is a summary of changes in the options for the stock option
plans:

                         FINANCIAL NOTES--(Continued)

  Pursuant to SFAS No. 123, the Company has elected to account for its stock-
based compensation plans under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25,
"Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees." Accordingly, no compensation cost
has been recognized in the consolidated financial statements for the stock
option plans, except an insignificant amount related to the two Canadian
grants noted above. Had compensation cost for the stock option plan been
recognized based on the fair value at the grant dates for awards under those
plans, consistent with the provision of SFAS No. 123, net income and earnings
per share would have been as indicated in the table below. Since pro forma
compensation cost relates to all periods over which the awards vest, the
initial impact on pro forma net income may not be representative of
compensation cost in subsequent years, when the effect of amortization of
multiple awards would be reflected.

  Other, within stockholders' equity, includes notes receivable from certain
of the Company's officers and senior managers totaling $99.0 million at March
31, 1999 related to purchases of Company common stock. Such notes were issued
for amounts equal to the market value of the stock on the date of the
purchase, are full recourse to the borrower, and $55.6 million are
collateralized by the related stock. The notes bear interest at rates ranging
from 4.7% to 8.0% and are due at various dates through February, 2002.

17. Postretirement and Postemployment Benefits

 Pension Plans

  Prior to December 31, 1996, substantially all full-time employees of
McKesson were covered under either the Company-sponsored defined benefit
retirement plan or by bargaining unit sponsored multi-employer plans.

                         FINANCIAL NOTES--(Continued)

On December 31, 1996, the Company amended the Company-sponsored defined
benefit plan to freeze all plan benefits based on each employee's plan
compensation and creditable service accrued to that date. Accordingly,
employees joining the Company after December 31, 1996, and employees of
companies acquired after December 31, 1996, are not eligible for coverage
under the Company-sponsored defined benefit retirement plan. The benefits for
such Company-sponsored plans are based primarily on age of employees at date
of retirement, years of service and employees' pay during the five years prior
to employment. On January 1, 1997, the Company amended the ESOP to provide
future additional benefits in place of a portion of those benefits previously
provided by the pension plan.

  The following tables provide a reconciliation of the changes in the Company-
sponsored defined benefit retirement plan and executive supplemental
retirement plans:

</TABLE>

  Assets of the plans are measured on a calendar year basis.

  The projected unit credit method is utilized for measuring net periodic
pension cost over the employees' service life. Costs are funded based on the
recommendations of independent actuaries. The benefit obligations for Company-
sponsored plans were determined using discount rates of 7.00% at December 31,
1998, 7.25% at December 31, 1997 and 7.75% at December 31, 1996 and an assumed
increase in future compensation levels of 4.0% for all periods. The expected
long-term rate of return on assets used to determine pension expense was 9.75%
for all periods.

  The assets of the plan consist primarily of listed common stocks and bonds
for which fair value is determined based on quoted market prices.

 Profit-Sharing Investment Plan

  Retirement benefits for employees not covered by collective bargaining
arrangements include a supplementary contributory profit-sharing investment
plan ("PSIP"). The leveraged ESOP portion of the PSIP has purchased an
aggregate of 24.3 million shares of common stock since inception. These
purchases have been financed by 10 to 20-year loans from or guaranteed by the
Company. The Company's related receivables from the ESOP have been classified
as a reduction of stockholders' equity. The loans will be repaid by the ESOP
from common dividends on shares not yet allocated to participants, interest
earnings on cash balances not yet allocated to participants, common dividends
on certain allocated shares and future Company cash contributions. The ESOP
loan maturities and rates are identical to the terms of related Company
borrowings (see Financial Note 11).

  After-tax ESOP expense (income), including interest expense on ESOP debt,
was $0.9 million, $(0.1) million, and $2.3 million in fiscal 1999, 1998 and
1997, respectively. Additional tax benefits received on dividends paid on
unallocated shares of $2.2 million, $2.4 million, and $3.1 million in fiscal
1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively, have been credited directly to retained
earnings in accordance with SFAS No. 109.

  Contribution expense for the PSIP in fiscal 1999, 1998 and 1997 was all ESOP
related and is reflected in the amounts above. In fiscal 1999, 1998 and 1997
approximately 642,000, 808,000 and 907,000 shares, respectively, were
allocated to plan participants.

  Through March 31, 1999, 12.1 million common shares have been allocated to
plan participants. At March 31, 1999, 12.2 million common shares in the ESOP
Trust had not been allocated to plan participants.

 Health Care and Life Insurance

  In addition to providing pension benefits, the Company provides health care
and life insurance benefits for certain retired employees. The Company's
policy is to fund these benefits as claims are paid. The benefits have been
reduced significantly for those employees retiring after December 31, 1990. In
1989, the Company implemented an ESOP to provide funds at retirement that
could be used for medical costs or health care coverage.

  Expenses for postretirement health care and life insurance benefits
consisted of the following:

  The assumed health care cost trend rates used in measuring the accumulated
postretirement benefit obligation were 5.0%, 5.33% and 6.0% at the end of
1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The health care cost trend rate assumption
has a significant effect on the amounts reported. Increasing the trend rate by
one percentage point would increase the accumulated postretirement health care
and life insurance obligation as of March 31, 1999 by $7.0 million and the
related fiscal 1999 aggregate service and interest costs by $0.6 million.
Decreasing the trend rate by one percentage point would reduce the accumulated
postretirement health care and life insurance obligation as of March 31, 1999
by $6.6 million and the related fiscal 1999 aggregate service and interest
cost by $0.6 million. The discount rates used in determining the accumulated
postretirement benefit obligation were 7.00%, 7.25% and 7.75% at March 31,
1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

  Through the HBOC Transaction, the Company assumed an employee discount stock
purchase plan for eligible employees of HBOC. Under such plan, participants
may use up to 10% of their annual compensation up to certain dollar
limitations whichever is higher, to purchase, through payroll deductions, the
Company's common stock at the end of each plan year for 85% of the lower of
the beginning or ending stock price for the plan year.

  HBOC also had a qualified profit-sharing and savings plan ("HBOC Plan")
covering all HBOC employees with more than six months of service. Except for
certain highly paid employees who were subject to certain limitations,
participants were eligible to contribute up to 15% of their compensation to
the plan. The Company matched these contributions at a rate equal to 75% of
the first 4% of compensation contributed annually. Total plan expense was
$10.6 million in fiscal 1999, $8.9 million in fiscal 1998 and $6.3 million in
fiscal 1997. On April 1, 1999, the HBOC Plan was merged into the Company
Profit-Sharing Investment Plan described earlier.

18. Segments of Business

  Effective March 31, 1999, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No.
131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information."
SFAS No. 131 established standards for the way public business enterprises
report information about operating segments in annual financial statements,
and also established standards for enterprise-wide disclosure of segment
information based on products and services, geographic areas, and major
customers. Operating segments are defined by SFAS No. 131 as components of an
enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is
evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to
allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company's chief operating
decision makers who determine the allocation of resources and evaluate the
financial performance of the operating segments are the Co-Chief Executive
Officers. In evaluating financial performance, management focuses on operating
profit as a segment's measure of profit or loss. Operating profit is income
before interest expense, corporate interest income, taxes on income, and
allocation of certain corporate revenues and expenses.

  The Company's operating segments include Health Care Supply Management,
Health Care Information Technology and Water Products. The Company's Corporate
division is included in the presentation of reportable segment information
since certain revenues and expenses of this division are not allocated
separately to the operating segments.

  The Health Care Supply Management segment includes the Company's U.S.
pharmaceutical, health care products and medical-surgical supplies
distribution businesses. U.S. Health Care Supply Management operations also
include marketing and other support services to pharmaceutical manufacturers,
manufacture and sale of automated pharmaceutical dispensing systems for
hospitals and retail pharmacies, consulting and outsourcing services to
pharmacies, and distribution of first-aid products to industrial and
commercial customers. Health Care Supply Management also includes the
Company's international distribution operations (including Canada and an
equity interest in a Mexican distribution business).

  The Health Care Information Technology segment delivers enterprise-wide
patient care, clinical, financial, managed care, payor and strategic
management software solutions, as well as networking technologies, electronic
commerce, outsourcing and other services to health care organizations
throughout the U.S. and certain foreign countries.

  The Water Products segment is engaged in the processing, delivery and sale
of bottled drinking water to homes and businesses and the sale of packaged
water to retail stores.

  The Corporate division includes expenses associated with corporate functions
and projects, certain employee benefits and an inter-segment elimination in
fiscal 1999.

19. Other Commitments and Contingent Liabilities

  On April 28, 1999, the Company announced that, during the course of its
year-end financial audit process, the Company determined that software sales
transactions (aggregating $26.2 million for the fourth quarter ended March 31,
1999 and $16.0 million in the prior quarters of the fiscal year) were
improperly recorded because they

<PAGE>

                              McKESSON HBOC, INC.

                         FINANCIAL NOTES--(Continued)

were subject to contingencies and had been reversed. It also announced that
the audit process was ongoing. The Audit Committee of the Company's Board of
Directors subsequently initiated an investigation into this matter. On May 25,
1999, the Company announced that as a result of information developed through
its continuing year-end internal and external audit process and Audit
Committee review, additional instances of improper revenue recognition had
been found, that further downward revision would be required of the results
for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1999, as well as quarterly results during
the fiscal year, and that prior years' results of the Health Care Information
Technology business unit ("HBOC") could also require restatement.

  Since the Company's announcement on April 28, 1999, and as of July 6, 1999,
fifty-three class action lawsuits, three derivative actions, and two
individual actions have been filed against the Company, and certain current or
former officers and directors of the Company (the "Defendants"). One of the
actions also names as defendants Bear, Stearns & Company, Inc., and Arthur
Andersen LLP. Fifty-three of the actions were filed in Federal Court (the
"Federal Actions") alleging violations of the federal securities laws. Of
these, fifty-two were filed in the United States District Court for the
Northern District of California, and one was filed in the Northern District of
Illinois. Of the fifty-two filed in the Northern District of California,
fifty-one are class actions and one is a derivative action. The action filed
in the Northern District of Illinois is a class action. The Company expects
that the Federal Actions, with the exception of the derivative action, will be
consolidated into a single action, and the Company will not be required to
respond until after the filing of a consolidated complaint.

  The class actions are purportedly brought on behalf of a class of the
Company's shareholders that varies according to the complaint, with July 16,
1996 being the earliest date for shareholders who purchased or acquired the
Company's shares and May 25, 1999 being the latest date. In general, these
actions allege that the Company and certain officers or directors made false
and misleading statements concerning the Company's future prospects and
financial results in violation of the federal securities laws. Plaintiffs seek
damages in an unspecified amount. Plaintiffs also request pre-judgment and
post-judgment interest, costs and attorneys fees.

  Five actions have also been filed in various state courts (the "State
Actions"). Of these, two are derivative actions, one filed in the Chancery
Court of the State of Delaware (Fine v. McCall, et. al.), and the other in
California State Court in San Francisco (Mitchell v. McCall, et. al). Two
individual actions have also been filed, one in California State Court in San
Francisco (Yurick v. McKesson et. al.), and the other, for which a summons has
issued but a complaint not yet filed, in the Court of Common Pleas, Chester
County, Pennsylvania (Grant v. McKesson). One purported class action, on
behalf of a class of shareholders of McKesson Corporation at the time of the
merger with HBOC, has been filed in the Delaware Court of Chancery. The State
Actions seek unspecified damages for alleged breaches of fiduciary duty and
other causes of action arising out of the events that led to the Company's
need to revise its financial statements. The Company is currently required to
respond to the derivative action in Delaware by July 30, 1999 and the actions
in California by July 26, 1999. The Company is not currently required to
respond to the action filed in Pennsylvania.

  One additional Federal Action has been filed in the Northern District of
Georgia, but that action names only two former officers, and does not name the
Company; and one additional class action has been filed in the Delaware Court
of Chancery against HBOC, Inc. and former officers and directors of a company
acquired by HBOC in 1998 alleging breach of fiduciary duties by such parties
in connection with such sale, and is brought on behalf of the shareholders of
the acquired company.

  In addition, the United States Attorney's Office for the Northern District
of California and the San Francisco District Office of the United States
Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") have also commenced investigations
in connection with the matters relating to the restatement of previously
reported amounts for HBOC described above. The SEC has advised the Company
that its inquiry should not be construed as an indication by the SEC or its
staff that any violations of law have occurred.

                         FINANCIAL NOTES--(Continued)

  The Company does not believe it is feasible to predict or determine the
outcome or resolution of these proceedings, or to estimate the amounts of, or
potential range of loss with respect to these proceedings. In addition, the
timing of the final resolution of these proceedings is uncertain. The range of
possible resolutions of these proceedings could include judgments against the
Company or settlements, that could require substantial payments by the Company
which could have a material adverse impact on the Company's financial
position, results of operations and cash flows.

  The Company currently is a defendant in numerous civil antitrust actions
filed since 1993 in federal and state courts by retail pharmacies. The federal
cases have been coordinated for pretrial purposes in the United States
District Court in the Northern District of Illinois and are known as MDL 997.
MDL 997 consists of a consolidated class action (the "Federal Class Action")
as well as approximately 109 additional actions brought by approximately 3,500
individual retail, chain and supermarket pharmacies (the "Individual
Actions"). There are numerous other defendants in these actions including
several pharmaceutical manufacturers and several other wholesale distributors.
These cases allege, in essence, that the defendants have violated the Sherman
Act by conspiring to fix the prices of brand name pharmaceuticals sold to
plaintiffs at artificially high, and non-competitive levels, especially as
compared with the prices charged to mail order pharmacies, managed care
organizations and other institutional buyers. On January 19, 1999, the
District Court entered its written opinion and judgment granting defendants'
motion for a directed verdict. On July 13, 1999, the Seventh Circuit affirmed
the District Court's judgment as to dismissal of the claims against the
wholesalers. The Individual Actions, which are still pending in the Northern
District of Illinois for pre-trial purposes, will be remanded to their
original transferor jurisdictions for trial. The wholesalers' motion for
partial summary judgment that they should not be liable for any damages
resulting from drugs sold prior to four years from the October 1997 amended
complaints in those cases was granted. Most of the individual cases brought by
chain stores have been settled.

  The currently pending state court antitrust cases against the Company are in
California, Alabama, Mississippi and Tennessee. The state cases are based
essentially on the same facts alleged in the Federal Class Action and
Individual Actions and assert violations of state antitrust and/or unfair
competition laws. The case in California (referred to as Coordinated Special
Proceeding, Pharmaceutical Cases I, II & III) is pending in Superior Court for
the State of California (San Francisco County). A class of retail pharmacies
has been certified and the case is trailing MDL 997. In the Alabama case
(Durrett, et al. v. The Upjohn Co. et al.), the Supreme Court has recently
held that the Alabama state antitrust statute at issue does not reach the
conduct alleged in the complaint. The case in Mississippi (Montgomery Drug Co.
et al. v. The Upjohn Co. et al.) is pending in the Chancery Court of Prentiss
County, Mississippi. The Chancery Court has held that the case may not be
maintained as a class action. The Tennessee case, filed in Knoxville, is a
class action on behalf of consumers who purchased brand-name drugs from retail
stores in fourteen states. The claims, brought under Tennessee law, allege
deceptive trade practices, conspiracy to fix prices, price discrimination, and
fraudulent concealment. On July 6, 1998, the court conditionally certified the
case as a multi-state class action. A motion to dismiss the complaint is
pending on the grounds, among others, that (i) plaintiff class members are
indirect purchasers and are not entitled to bring an action against the
wholesalers and manufacturers and (ii) the state antitrust statues on which
the class relied do not apply to interstate commerce. A motion is also pending
for permission to file an interlocutory appeal from the order denying
defendants' motion to vacate the order granting conditional class
certification.

  In each of the cases, plaintiffs seek remedies in the form of injunctive
relief and unquantified monetary damages, and attorneys fees and costs.
Plaintiffs in the California cases also seek restitution. In addition, trebled
damages are sought in the Federal Class Action, the Individual Actions, the
California case and the Tennessee case and statutory penalties of $500 per
violation are sought in the Mississippi and Alabama cases. The Company
believes it has meritorious defenses to the allegations made against it and
intends to vigorously defend itself in all of these actions. In addition, the
Company has entered into a judgment sharing agreement with certain

                                     F-74

                              McKESSON HBOC, INC.

pharmaceutical manufacturer defendants, which provides generally that the
Company (together with the other wholesale distributor defendants) will be
held harmless by such pharmaceutical manufacturer defendants and will be
indemnified against the costs of adverse judgments, if any, against the
wholesaler and manufacturers in these or similar actions, in excess of $1
million in the aggregate per wholesale distributor defendant.

  In January 1997, the Company and twelve pharmaceutical manufacturers (the
"Manufacturer Defendants") were named as defendants in the matter of FoxMeyer
Health Corporation vs. McKesson, et. al. filed in the District Court in Dallas
County, Texas ("the Texas Action"). Plaintiff (the parent corporation of
FoxMeyer Drug Company and FoxMeyer Corporation collectively, "FoxMeyer
Corporation") alleges that, among other things, the Company (i) defrauded
Plaintiff, (ii) competed unfairly and tortiously interfered with FoxMeyer
Corporation's business operations, and (iii) conspired with the Manufacturer
Defendants, all in order to destroy FoxMeyer Corporation's business, restrain
trade and monopolize the marketplace, and allow the Company to purchase that
business at a distressed price. Plaintiff seeks relief against all defendants
in the form of compensatory damages of at least $400 million, punitive
damages, attorneys fees and costs. The Company answered the complaint, denying
the allegations, and removed the case to federal bankruptcy court in Dallas.

  In March 1997, the Company and the Manufacturer Defendants filed a complaint
in intervention against FoxMeyer Health (now known as Avatex Corporation) in
the action filed against Avatex by the FoxMeyer Unsecured Creditors Committee
in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware. The
complaint in intervention seeks declaratory relief and an order enjoining
Avatex from pursuing the Texas Action.

  In November 1998, the Delaware court granted the Company's motion for
summary judgment as to the first three counts asserted in the Texas Action on
the ground of judicial estoppel. A renewed motion for summary judgment on the
four remaining counts of Avatex' complaint in the Texas Action is pending
before the Delaware court. In addition, the Company filed an amended complaint
adding the Trustee and debtors as defendants. Based on the order granting
summary judgment as to the first three counts, the Texas bankruptcy court
dismissed those counts with prejudice and ordered the Texas Action remanded to
state court. On November 30, 1998, the Company and the other Defendants filed
a notice of appeal to the District Court from the remand ruling as well as the
August, 1997 ruling denying defendants' motion to transfer the Texas Action to
Delaware. In addition, the Company has filed a counterclaim and cross-claim
against Avatex and Mssrs. Estrin, Butler and Massman in the Texas Action,
asserting various claims of misrepresentation and breach of contract. The
District Court upheld the remand order and denied as moot the appeal from the
denying transfer. A cross-appeal by Avatex from the order dismissing the three
counts with prejudice is still pending. The Company and several of the other
defendants have appealed to the Court of Appeals the ruling upholding the
order denying transfer.

  The Company has been named as a defendant, or has received from customers
tenders of defense, in approximately forty pending cases alleging injury due
to the diet drug combination of fenfluramine or dexfenfluramine and
phentermine. All of the cases are pending in the state courts of Alabama,
California, Idaho, Michigan, New Mexico and New York. The Company has tendered
the cases to the manufacturers of the drugs and is currently defending the
cases pending resolution of its negotiations with the manufacturers.

  Certain subsidiaries of the Company (i.e. MGM and RedLine, collectively, the
"Subsidiaries") are defendants in approximately forty cases in which
plaintiffs claim that they were injured due to exposure, over many years, to
the latex proteins in gloves manufactured by numerous manufacturers and
distributed by a number of distributors, including the Subsidiaries. Efforts
to resolve tenders of defense to their suppliers are continuing. The
Subsidiaries' insurers are providing coverage for these cases, subject to the
applicable deductibles.

  There are six state court class actions in New York, Ohio, Oklahoma,
Pennsylvania, South Carolina and Texas filed against MGM on behalf of all
health care workers in those states who suffered accidental needle

sticks that exposed them to potentially contaminated bodily fluids, arising
from MGM's distribution of allegedly defective syringes. MGM's suppliers of
the syringes are also named defendants in these actions. All cases except the
Texas case are in the early stages of discovery. The Texas court held a class
certification hearing on June 1, 1999, and stayed its ruling on certification
pending a decision from the Texas Supreme Court on the issue of whether a
products liability class action is proper where issues of comparative fault
exist. These cases have been tendered to MGM's suppliers, their insurers, and
to MGM's insurer. The Company has filed a declaratory relief action in
California against its major supplier's insurer to obtain a determination of
rights as an additional insured under the supplier's insurance policy.

  Salomon Smith Barney ("SSB") filed an action against McKesson and HBOC on
December 9, 1998 in federal district court in New York City claiming
entitlement to $50 million in fees in connection with the January 12, 1999
merger of the two companies. SSB has sued on the theories of breach of
contract, quantum meruit and unjust enrichment; it has also sued HBOC for
tortious interference with contract, tortious interference with business
relations, and prima facie tort. It also seeks compensatory damages from HBOC
for tortiously interfering with its contract and relations with McKesson. SSB
also seeks a judgment requiring defendants to indemnify SSB pursuant to the
contracts. On May 12, 1999 defendants' motions to stay the action were denied;
the Company's motion to dismiss was denied, and HBOC's motion to dismiss was
partially granted as to some of the tort claims against it. On June 21, 1999,
defendants filed their answer and counterclaims against SSB for violations of
Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; breach of fiduciary
duty; negligence; breach of contract; misappropriation of trade secrets; and
rescission and restitution. Trial is scheduled for October 1999.

  Primarily as a result of the operation of its former chemical businesses,
which were divested in fiscal 1987, the Company is involved in various matters
pursuant to environmental laws and regulations:

  The Company has received claims and demands from governmental agencies
relating to investigative and remedial action purportedly required to address
environmental conditions alleged to exist at five sites where the Company (or
entities acquired by the Company) formerly conducted operations; and the
Company, by administrative order or otherwise, has agreed to take certain
actions at those sites, including soil and groundwater remediation.

  The current estimate (determined by the Company's environmental staff, in
consultation with outside environmental specialists and counsel) of the upper
limit of the Company's range of reasonably possible remediation costs for
these five sites is approximately $17 million, net of approximately $3.5
million which third parties have agreed to pay in settlement or which the
Company expects, based either on agreements or nonrefundable contributions
which are ongoing, to be contributed by third parties. The $17 million is
expected to be paid out between April 1999 and March 2028 and is included in
the Company's recorded environmental liabilities at March 31, 1999.

  In addition, the Company has been designated as a potentially responsible
party (PRP) by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency under the
Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act of 1980,
as amended (the "Superfund" law), for environmental assessment and cleanup
costs as the result of the Company's alleged disposal of hazardous substances
at 19 Superfund sites. With respect to each of these Superfund sites, numerous
other PRP's have similarly been designated and, while the current state of the
law potentially imposes joint and several liability upon PRPs, as a practical
matter costs of these sites are typically shared with other PRPs. The
Company's estimated liability at those 19 Superfund sites is approximately $2
million. The aggregate settlements and costs paid by the Company in Superfund
matters to date has not been significant. The $2 million is included in the
Company's recorded environmental liabilities at March 31, 1999.

  The potential costs to the Company related to environmental matters is
uncertain due to such factors as: the unknown magnitude of possible pollution
and cleanup costs; the complexity and evolving nature of governmental

laws and regulations and their interpretations; the timing, varying costs and
effectiveness of alternate cleanup technologies; the determination of the
Company's liability in proportion to other PRPs; and the extent, if any, to
which such costs are recoverable from insurance or other parties.

  Except as specifically stated above with respect to the litigation matters
arising from the Company's restatement of previously reported amounts for
HBOC, management believes, based on current knowledge and the advice of the
Company's counsel, that the outcome of the litigation and governmental
proceedings discussed in this Financial Note 19 will not have a material
adverse effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or
cash flows.

succeeding day not a holiday.

Section 4. Notice of Meetings.

(a)  Except as otherwise provided by law or the Certificate of Incorporation,
written notice of each meeting of stockholders, specifying the place, date and
hour and purpose or purposes of the meeting, shall be given not less than 10 nor
more than 60 days before the date of the meeting to each stockholder entitled to
vote thereat, directed to his address as it appears upon the books of the
Corporation; except that where the matter to be acted on is a merger or
consolidation of the Corporation or a sale, lease or exchange of all or
substantially all of its assets, such notice shall be given not less than 20 nor
more than 60 days prior to such meeting.

(b)  If at any meeting action is proposed to be taken which, if taken, would
entitle stockholders fulfilling the requirements of Section 262(d) of the
Delaware General Corporation Law to an appraisal of the fair value of their
shares, the notice of such meeting shall contain a statement of that purpose and
to that effect and shall be accompanied by a copy of that statutory section.

(c)  When a meeting is adjourned to another time or place, notice need not be
given of the adjourned meeting if the time and place thereof are announced at
the meeting at which the adjournment is taken unless the adjournment is for more
than thirty days, or unless after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for
the adjourned meeting, in which event a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be
given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting.

(d)  Notice of the time, place and purpose of any meeting of stockholders may be
waived in writing, either before or after such meeting, and to the extent
permitted by law, will be waived by any stockholder by his attendance thereat,
in person or by proxy. Any stockholder so waiving notice of such meeting shall
be bound by the proceedings of any such meeting in all respects as if due notice
thereof had been given.

(e)  Unless and until voted, every proxy shall be revocable at the pleasure of
the person who executed it or of his legal representatives or assigns, except in
those cases where an irrevocable proxy permitted by statute has been given.


Section 5. Quorum. At all meetings of stockholders, except where otherwise
provided by law, the Certificate of Incorporation, or these By-Laws, the
presence, in person or by proxy duly authorized, of the holders of a majority of
the outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote shall constitute a quorum for
the transaction of business. Shares, the voting of which at said meeting has
been enjoined, or which for any reason cannot be lawfully voted at such meeting,
shall not be counted to determine a quorum at said meeting.

In the absence of a quorum any meeting of stockholders may be adjourned, from
time to time, by vote of the holders of a majority of the shares represented
thereat, but no other business shall be transacted at such meeting. At such
adjourned meeting at which a quorum is present or represented any business may
be transacted which might have been transacted at the original meeting. The
stockholders present at a duly called or convened meeting, at which a quorum is
present, may continue to transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding
the withdrawal of enough stockholders to leave less than a quorum. Except as
otherwise provided by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these By-Laws,
all action taken by the holders of a majority of the voting power represented at
any meeting at which a quorum is present shall be valid and binding upon the
Corporation.

In the event that at any meeting at which the holders of more than one class or
series of the Corporation's capital stock are entitled to vote as a class, a
quorum of any such class or series is lacking, the holders of any class or
series represented by a quorum may proceed with the

                                       2
<PAGE>

transaction of the business to be transacted by that class or series, and if
such business is the election of directors, the director whose successors shall
not have been elected shall continue in office until their successors shall have
been duly elected and shall have qualified.


Section 6. Voting Rights.

(a)  Except as otherwise provided by law, only persons in whose names shares
entitled to vote stand on the stock records of the Corporation on the record
date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote at said meeting shall be
entitled to vote at such meeting. Shares standing in the names of two or more
persons shall be voted or represented in accordance with the determination of
the majority of such persons, or, if only one of such persons is present in
person or represented by proxy, such person shall have the right to vote such
shares and such shares shall be deemed to be represented for the purpose of
determining a quorum.

(b)  Every person entitled to vote or execute consents shall have the right to
do so either in person or by an agent or agents authorized by a written proxy
executed by such person or his duly authorized agent, which proxy shall be filed
with the Secretary of the Corporation at or before the meeting at which it is to
be used. Said proxy so appointed need not be a stockholder. No proxy shall be
voted on after three years from its date unless the proxy provides for a longer
period.

(c)  Without limiting the manner in which a stockholder may authorize another
person or persons to act for him as proxy pursuant to subsection (b) of this
Section, the following shall constitute a valid means by which a stockholder may
grant such authority:

     (1)  A stockholder may execute a writing authorizing another person or
     persons to act for him as proxy. Execution may be accomplished by the
     stockholder or his authorized officer, director, employee or agent signing
     such writing or causing his or her signature to be affixed to such writing
     by any reasonable means including, but not limited to, by facsimile
     signature.

     (2)  A stockholder may authorize another person or persons to act for him
     as proxy by transmitting or authorizing the transmission of a telegram,
     cablegram, or other means of electronic transmission to the person who will
     be the holder of the proxy or to a proxy solicitation firm, proxy support
     service organization or like agent duly authorized by the person who will
     be the holder of the proxy to receive such transmission, provided that any
     such telegram, cablegram or other means of electronic transmission must
     either set forth or be submitted with information from which it can be
     determined that the telegram, cablegram or other electronic transmission
     was authorized by the stockholder. If it is determined that such telegrams,
     cablegrams or other electronic transmissions are valid, the inspectors or,
     if there are no inspectors, such other persons making that determination
     shall specify the information upon which they relied.

(d)  Any copy, facsimile telecommunication or other reliable reproduction of the
writing or transmission created pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section may
be substituted or used in lieu of the original writing or transmission for any
and all purposes for which the original writing or transmission could be used,
provided that such copy, facsimile telecommunication or other reproduction shall
be a complete reproduction of the entire original writing or transmission.


Section 7. Voting Procedures and Inspectors of Elections.

(a)  The Corporation shall, in advance of any meeting of stockholders, appoint
one or more inspectors to act at the meeting and make a written report thereof.
The Corporation may designate one or more persons as alternate inspectors to
replace any inspector who fails to act. If no

                                       3
<PAGE>

inspector or alternate is able to act at a meeting of stockholders, the person
presiding at the meeting shall appoint one or more inspectors to act at the
meeting. Each inspector, before entering upon the discharge of his duties, shall
take and sign an oath faithfully to execute the duties of inspector with strict
impartiality and according to the best of his ability.

(b)  The inspectors shall (i) ascertain the number of shares outstanding and the
voting power of each, (ii) determine the shares represented at a meeting and the
validity of proxies and ballots, (iii) count all votes and ballots, (iv)
determine and retain for a reasonable period a record of the disposition of any
challenges made to any determination by the inspectors, and (v) certify their
determination of the number of shares represented at the meeting, and their
count of all votes and ballots. The inspectors may appoint or retain other
persons or entities to assist the inspectors in the performance of the duties of
the inspectors.

(c)  The date and time of the opening and the closing of the polls for each
matter upon which the stockholders will vote at a meeting shall be announced at
the meeting. No ballot, proxies or votes, nor any revocations thereof or changes
thereto, shall be accepted by the inspectors after the closing of the polls
unless the Court of Chancery upon application by a stockholder shall determine
otherwise.

(d)  In determining the validity and counting of proxies and ballots, the
inspectors shall be limited to an examination of the proxies, any envelopes
submitted with those proxies, any information provided in accordance with
Section 212(c)(2) of the Delaware General Corporation Law, ballots and the
regular books and records of the Corporation, except that the inspectors may
consider other reliable information for the limited purpose of reconciling
proxies and ballots submitted by or on behalf of banks, brokers, their nominees
or similar persons which represent more votes than the holder of a proxy is
authorized by the record owner to cast or more votes than the stockholder holds
of record. If the inspectors consider other reliable information for the limited
purpose permitted herein, the inspectors at the time they make their
certification pursuant to subsection (b)(v) of this Section shall specify the
precise information considered by them including the person or persons from whom
they obtained the information, when the information was obtained, the means by
which the information was obtained and the basis for the inspectors' belief that
such information is accurate and reliable.

(e)  The provisions of this Section 7 shall not apply to any annual meeting of
stockholders held prior to the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in
1995.


Section 8. List of Stockholders. The officer who has charge of the stock ledger
of the Corporation shall prepare and make, at least 10 days before every meeting
of stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at said
meeting, arranged in alphabetical order, showing the address of and the number
of shares registered in the name of each stockholder. Such list shall be open to
the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting,
during ordinary business hours, for a period of at least 10 days prior to the
meeting, either at a place within the city where the meeting is to be held and
which place shall be specified in the notice of the meeting, or, if not
specified, at the place where said meeting is to be held, and the list shall be
produced and kept at the time and place of meeting during the whole time
thereof, and may be inspected by any stockholder who is present.


Section 9. Stockholder Proposals at Annual Meetings. At an annual meeting of the
stockholders, only such business shall be conducted as shall have been properly
brought before the meeting. To be properly brought before an annual meeting,
business must be specified in the notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto)
given by or at the direction of the Board of Directors, otherwise properly
brought before the meeting by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or

                                       4
<PAGE>

otherwise properly brought before the meeting by a stockholder of the
Corporation (i) who is a stockholder of record on the date of the giving of the
notice provided for in this Section 9 and on the record date for the
determination of stockholders entitled to vote at such annual meeting and (ii)
who complies with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 9. In addition
to any other applicable requirements, for business to be properly brought before
an annual meeting by a stockholder, the stockholder must have given timely
notice thereof in writing to the Secretary of the Corporation. To be timely, a
stockholder's notice to the Secretary must be delivered to or mailed and
received at the principal executive offices of the Corporation, not less than 90
days nor more than 120 days prior to the anniversary date of the immediately
preceding annual meeting of stockholders; provided, however, that in the event
that the annual meeting is called for a date that is not within 30 days before
or after such anniversary date, notice by the stockholder in order to be timely
must be so received not later than the close of business on the 10th day
following the day on which such notice of the date of the annual meeting was
mailed or such public disclosure of the date of the annual meeting was made,
whichever first occurs. A stockholder's notice to the Secretary shall set forth
as to each matter the stockholder proposes to bring before the annual meeting,
(i) a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the annual
meeting and the reasons for conducting such business at the annual meeting, (ii)
the name and record address of the stockholder proposing such business, (iii)
the class or series and number of shares of capital stock of the Corporation
which are owned beneficially or of record by the stockholder, (iv) a description
of all arrangements or understandings between the stockholder and any other
person or persons (including their names) in connection with the proposal of
such business by the stockholder and any material interest of the stockholder in
such business, and (v) a representation that the stockholder intends to appear
in person or by proxy at the annual meeting to bring such business before the
meeting.

Notwithstanding anything in the By-Laws to the contrary, no business shall be
conducted at the annual meeting except in accordance with the procedures set
forth in this Section 9, provided, however, that nothing in this Section 9 shall
be deemed to preclude discussion by any stockholder of any business properly
brought before the annual meeting in accordance with said procedure.

The Chairman of an annual meeting shall, if the facts warrant, determine and
declare to the meeting that business was not properly brought before the meeting
in accordance with the provisions of this Section 9, and if he should so
determine, he shall so declare to the meeting and any such business not properly
brought before the meeting shall not be transacted.


Section 10. Nominations of Persons for Election to the Board of Directors. In
addition to any other applicable requirements, only persons who are nominated in
accordance with the following procedures shall be eligible for election as
directors. Nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors of the
Corporation may be made at a meeting of stockholders by or at the direction of
the Board of Directors, by any nominating committee or person appointed by the
Board of Directors or by any stockholder of the Corporation (i) who is a
stockholder of record on the date of the giving of the notice provided for in
this Section 10 and on the record date for the determination of stockholders
entitled to vote at such annual meeting and (ii) who complies with the notice
procedures set forth in this Section 10. Such nominations, other than those made
by or at the direction of the Board of Directors, shall be made pursuant to
timely notice in writing to the Secretary of the Corporation. To be timely, a
stockholder's notice to the Secretary must be delivered to or mailed and
received at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not less than 90
days nor more than 120 days prior to the anniversary date of the immediately
preceding annual meeting of stockholders; provided, however, that in the event
that the annual meeting is called for a date that is not within 30 days before
or after such anniversary date, notice by the stockholder in order to be timely
must be so received not later than the 10th day following the day on which such
notice of the date of the annual meeting was mailed or such public disclosure of
the date of the annual meeting was made, whichever first occurs. Such
stockholder's notice shall set

                                       5
<PAGE>

forth (a) as to each person whom the stockholder proposes to nominate for
election or re-election as a director, (i) the name, age, business address and
residence address of the person, (ii) the principal occupation or employment of
the person, (iii) the class and number of shares of the Corporation which are
beneficially owned by the person and (iv) any other information relating to the
person that is required to be disclosed in solicitations for proxies for
election of directors pursuant to Section 14 of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and the rules and regulations promulgated
thereunder; and (b) as to the stockholder giving the notice, (i) the name and
record address of the stockholder, (ii) the class or series and number of shares
of capital stock of the Corporation which are owned beneficially or of record by
the stockholder, (iii) a description of all arrangements or understandings
between the stockholder and each proposed nominee and any other person or
persons (including their names) pursuant to which the nomination(s) are to be
made by the stockholder, (iv) a representation that such stockholder intends to
appear in person or by proxy at the meeting to nominate the persons named in
such notice and (v) any other information relating to the stockholder that would
be required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filings required to be
made in connection with solicitations of proxies for the election of directors
pursuant to Section 14 of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations
promulgated thereunder. Such notice must be accompanied by a written consent of
each proposed nominee being named as a nominee and to serve as a director if
elected. The Corporation may require any proposed nominee to furnish such other
information as may reasonably be required by the Corporation to determine the
eligibility of such proposed nominee to serve as a director of the Corporation.
No person shall be eligible for election as a director of the Corporation unless
nominated in accordance with the procedures set forth herein. These provisions
shall not apply to nomination of any persons entitled to be separately elected
by holders of preferred stock.

The Chairman of the meeting shall, if the facts warrant, determine and declare
to the meeting that a nomination was not made in accordance with the foregoing
procedure, and if he should so determine, he shall so declare to the meeting and
the defective nomination shall be disregarded.


                                  ARTICLE III

                                   Directors


Section 1. General Powers. The property, affairs and business of the Corporation
shall be managed under the direction of its Board of Directors, which may
exercise all of the powers of the Corporation, except such as are by law or by
the Certificate of Incorporation or by these By-Laws expressly conferred upon or
reserved to the stockholders.


Section 2. Number and Term of Office; Removal. The number of directors of the
Corporation shall be fixed from time to time by these By-Laws but in no event
shall be less than three (3). Until these By-Laws are further amended, the
number of directors shall be twelve. The directors shall be divided into three
classes. Each such class shall consist, as nearly as may be possible, of one-
third of the total number of directors, and any remaining directors shall be
included within such group or groups as the Board of Directors shall designate.
At the initial annual meeting of stockholders in 1994, a class of directors
shall be elected for a one-year term, a class of directors for a two-year term
and a class of directors for a three-year term. At each succeeding annual
meeting of stockholders, beginning in 1995, successors to the class of directors
whose term expires at that annual meeting shall be elected for a three-year
term. If the number of directors is changed, any increase or decrease shall be
apportioned among the classes so as to maintain the number of directors in each
class as nearly equal as possible, but in no case shall a decrease in the number
of directors shorten the term of any incumbent director. A director may be
removed from office for cause only and, subject to such removal, death,
resignation, retirement or disqualification, shall hold

                                       6
<PAGE>

office until the annual meeting for the year in which his term expires and until
his successor shall be elected and qualify. No alteration, amendment or repeal
of these By-Laws shall be effective to shorten the term of any director holding
office at the time of such alteration, amendment or repeal, to permit any such
director to be removed without cause, or to increase the number of directors in
any class or in the aggregate from that existing at the time of such alteration,
amendment or repeal until the expiration of the terms of office of all directors
then holding office, unless such alteration, amendment or repeal has been
approved by either the holders of all shares of stock entitled to vote thereon
or by a vote of a majority of the entire Board of Directors. The provisions of
this Section 2 shall not apply to directors governed by Section 15 of this
ARTICLE III.


Section 3. Election of Directors. At each meeting of the stockholders for the
election of directors, the directors to be elected at such meeting shall be
elected by a plurality of votes given at such election.


Section 4. Vacancies. Any vacancy occurring in the Board of Directors for any
cause other than by reason of an increase in the number of directors may be
filled by a majority of the remaining members of the Board of Directors,
although such majority is less than a quorum, or by the stockholders. Any
vacancy occurring by reason of an increase in the number of directors may be
filled by action of a majority of the entire Board of Directors or by the
stockholders. A director elected by the Board of Directors to fill a vacancy
shall be elected to hold office until the expiration of the term for which he
was elected and until his successor shall have been elected and shall have
qualified. A director elected by the stockholders to fill a vacancy shall be
elected to hold office until the expiration of the term for which he was elected
and until his successor shall have been elected and shall have qualified. The
provisions of this Section 4 shall not apply to directors governed by Section 15
of this ARTICLE III.


Section 5. Resignations. A director may resign at any time by giving written
notice to the Board of Directors or to the Secretary. Such resignation shall
take effect at the time specified therein and, unless otherwise specified
therein, the acceptance of such resignation shall not be necessary to make it
effective.


Section 6. Annual Meetings. The Board of Directors, as constituted following the
vote of stockholders at any meeting of the stockholders for the election of
directors, may hold its first meeting for the purpose of organization and the
transaction of business, if a quorum be present, immediately after such meeting
and at the same place, and notice of such meeting need not be given. Such first
meeting may be held at any other time and place specified in a notice given as
hereinafter provided for special meetings of the Board of Directors or in a
consent and waiver of notice thereof signed by all the directors.


Section 7. Regular Meetings. Regular meetings of the Board of Directors may be
held without notice at such places and times as may be fixed from time to time
by resolution of the Board.


Section 8. Special Meetings; Notice. Special meetings of the Board of Directors
may be called at any time by the Chairman of the Board or the President and
shall be called by the Secretary upon the written request of any three directors
and each special meeting shall be held at such place and time as shall be
specified in the notice thereof. At least twenty-four (24) hours' notice of each
such special meeting shall be given to each director personally or sent to him
addressed to his residence or usual place of business by telephone, telegram or
facsimile transmission, or at least 120 hours'

                                       7
<PAGE>

notice of each such special meeting shall be given to each director by letter
sent to him addressed as aforesaid or on such shorter notice and by such means
as the person or persons calling such meeting may deem reasonably necessary or
appropriate in light of the circumstances. Any notice by letter or telegram
shall be deemed to be given when deposited in the United States mail so
addressed or when duly deposited at an appropriate office for transmission by
telegram, as the case may be. Such notice need not state the business to be
transacted at or the purpose or purposes of such special meeting. No notice of
any such special meeting of the Board of Directors need be given to any director
who attends in person or who, in writing executed and filed with the records of
the meeting, either before or after the holding thereof, waives such notice. No
notice need be given of an adjourned meeting of the Board of Directors.


Section 9. Quorum and Manner of Acting. A majority of the total number of
directors, but in no event less than two directors, shall constitute a quorum
for the transaction of business at any annual, regular or special meeting of the
Board of Directors. Except as otherwise provided by law, by the Certificate of
Incorporation or by these By-Laws, the act of a majority of the directors
present at any meeting, at which a quorum is present, shall be the act of the
Board of Directors. In the absence of a quorum, a majority of the directors
present may adjourn the meeting from time to time until a quorum be had.


Section 10. Consent in Writing. Any action required or permitted to be taken at
any meeting of the Board of Directors or any committee thereof may be taken
without a meeting, if a written consent to such action is signed by all members
of the Board or of such committee, as the case may be, and such written consent
is filed with the minutes of proceedings of the Board or such committee.


Section 11. Committees.

(a)  Executive Committee. The Board of Directors may, by resolution passed by a
majority of a quorum of the Board, appoint an Executive Committee of not than
three members, each of whom shall be a director. The Executive Committee, to the
extent permitted by law, shall have and may exercise when the Board of Directors
is not in session all powers of the Board in the management of the business and
affairs of the Corporation, including, without limitation, the power and
authority to declare a dividend or to authorize the issuance of stock, except
such Committee shall not have the power or authority (i) to approve, adopt, or
recommend to stockholders any action or matter required by the Delaware General
Corporation Law to be submitted for stockholder approval; or (ii) to adopt,
amend, or repeal any By-Law of the Corporation.

(b)  Other Committees. The Board of Directors may, by resolution passed by a
majority of a quorum of the Board, from time to time appoint such other
committees as may be permitted by law. Such other committees appointed by the
Board of Directors shall have such powers and perform such duties as may be
prescribed by the resolution or resolutions creating such committee, but in no
event shall any such committee have the powers denied to the Executive Committee
in these By-Laws.

(c)  Term. The members of all committees of the Board of Directors shall serve a
term coexistent with that of the Board of Directors which shall have appointed
such committee. The Board, subject to the provisions of subsections (a) or (b)
of this Section 11, may at any time increase or decrease the number of members
of a committee or terminate the existence of a committee; provided, that no
committee shall consist of less than one member. The membership of a committee
member shall terminate on the date of his death or voluntary resignation, but
the Board may at any time for any reason remove any individual committee member
and the Board may fill any committee vacancy

                                       8
<PAGE>

created by death, resignation, removal or increase in the number of members of
the committee. The Board of Directors may designate one or more directors as
alternate members of any committee, who may replace any absent or disqualified
member at any meeting of the committee, and, in addition, in the absence or
disqualification of any member of a committee, the member or members thereof
present at any meeting and not disqualified from voting, whether or not he or
they constitute a quorum, may unanimously appoint another member of the Board of
Directors to act at the meeting in the place of any such absent or disqualified
member.

(d)  Meetings. Unless the Board of Directors shall otherwise provide, regular
meetings of the Executive Committee or any other committee appointed pursuant to
this Section 11 shall be held at such times and places as are determined by the
Board of Directors, or by any such committee, and when notice thereof has been
given to each member of such committee, no further notice of such regular
meetings need be given thereafter; special meetings of any such committee may be
held at the principal office of the Corporation required to be maintained
pursuant to Section 2 of ARTICLE I hereof; or at any place which has been
designated from time to time by resolution of such committee or by written
consent of all members thereof, and may be called by any director who is a
member of such committee, upon written notice to the members of such committee
of the time and place of such special meeting given in the manner provided for
the giving of written notice to members of the Board of Directors of the time
and place of special meetings of the Board of Directors. Notice of any special
meeting of any committee may be waived in writing at any time after the meeting
and will be waived by any director by attendance thereat. A majority of the
authorized number of members of any such committee shall constitute a quorum for
the transaction of business, and the act of a majority of those present at any
meeting at which a quorum is present shall be the act of such committee.


Section 12. Telephone Meetings. The Board of Directors or any committee thereof
may participate in a meeting by means of a conference telephone or similar
communications equipment if all members of the Board or of such committee, as
the case may be, participating in the meeting can hear each other at the same
time. Participation in a meeting by these means shall constitute presence in
person at the meeting.


Section 13. Compensation. The directors may be paid their expenses, if any, of
attendance at each meeting of the Board of Directors and may be paid a fixed sum
for attendance at each meeting of the Board of Directors and/or a stated salary
as director. No such payment shall preclude any director from serving the
Corporation in any other capacity and receiving compensation therefor. Members
of special or standing committees may be allowed like compensation for attending
committee meetings.


Section 14. Interested Directors. No contract or transaction between the
Corporation and one or more of its directors or officers, or between the
Corporation and any other corporation, partnership, association, or other
organization in which one or more of its directors or officers are directors or
officers, or have a financial interest, shall be void or voidable solely for
this reason, or solely because the director or officer is present at or
participates in the meeting of the Board of Directors or committee thereof which
authorizes the contract or transaction, or solely because his or their votes are
counted for such purpose if (i) the material facts as to his or their
relationship or interest and as to the contract or transaction are disclosed or
are known to the Board of Directors or committee, and the Board of Directors or
committee in good faith authorizes the contract or transaction by the
affirmative votes of a majority of the disinterested directors, even though the
disinterested directors be less than a quorum; or (ii) the material facts as to
his or their relationship or interest and as to the contract or transaction are
disclosed or are known to the stockholders entitled to vote thereon, and the
contract or transaction is specifically approved in good faith by

                                       9
<PAGE>

vote of the stockholders; or (iii) the contract or transaction is fair as to the
Corporation as of the time it is authorized, approved or ratified, by the Board
of Directors, a committee thereof or the stockholders. Common or interested
directors may be counted in determining the presence of a quorum at a meeting of
the Board of Directors or of a committee which authorizes the contract or
transaction.


Section 15. Directors Elected by Special Class or Series. To the extent that any
holders of any class or series of stock other than Common Stock issued by the
Corporation shall have the separate right, voting as a class or series, to elect
directors, the directors elected by such class or series shall be deemed to
constitute an additional class of directors and shall have a term of office for
one year or such other period as may be designated by the provisions of such
class or series providing such separate voting right to the holders of such
class or series of stock, and any such class of directors shall be in addition
to the classes referred to in Section 2 of this ARTICLE III. Any directors so
elected shall be subject to removal in such manner as may be provided by law or
by the Certificate of Incorporation of this Corporation. The provisions of
Sections 2 and 4 of this ARTICLE III do not apply to directors governed by this
Section 15.


                                  ARTICLE IV

                                   Officers

be chosen by the Board of Directors at its first meeting after each annual
meeting of stockholders, shall be a Chairman of the Board, a President, one or
more Vice Presidents, a Treasurer, a Secretary and a Controller. The Board of
Directors from time to time may choose such other officers as it shall deem
appropriate. Any one person may hold any number of offices of the Corporation at
any one time unless specifically prohibited therefrom by law. The Chairman of
the Board and the President shall be chosen from among the directors; the other
officers need not be directors.


Section 2. Term of Office; Resignation; Removal. The term of office of each
officer shall be until the first meeting of the Board of Directors following the
next annual meeting of stockholders and until his successor is elected and shall
have qualified, or until his death, resignation or removal, whichever is sooner.
Any officer may resign at any time by giving written notice to the Board of
Directors or to the Secretary. Such resignation shall take effect at the time
specified therein and, unless otherwise specified therein, the acceptance of
such resignation shall not be necessary to make it effective. Any officer may be
removed at any time either with or without cause by the Board of Directors.
Notwithstanding anything in these By-Laws to the contrary, for a period of one
year following January 12, 1999, the requisite vote or approval of the Board of
Directors necessary to terminate or replace, or fill a vacancy in respect of,
Charles W. McCall as Chairman of the Board or Mark A. Pulido as President and
Chief Executive Officer shall be no less than seventy-five percent (75%) of the
members of the Board of Directors.


Section 3. Vacancies. A vacancy in any office because of death, resignation,
removal, disqualification or any other cause, may be filled for the unexpired
portion of the term by the Board of Directors.

Corporation. The President shall perform such other duties as may be prescribed
or assigned to him from time to time by the Board of Directors.

(c)  Other Officers. The other officers of the Corporation shall have such
powers and shall perform such duties as generally pertain to their respective
offices, as well as such powers and duties as the Board of Directors, the
Executive Committee or the Chief Executive Officer may prescribe.

Section 5. Divisional Titles. Any one of the Chief Executive Officer, President,
or Vice President Human Resources and Administration (each one an "Appointing
Person"), may from time to time confer upon any employee of a division of the
Corporation the title of President, Vice President, Treasurer or Secretary of
such division or any other divisional title or titles deemed appropriate. Any
such titles so conferred may be discontinued and withdrawn at any time by any
one Appointing Person. Any employee of a division designated by such a

as shall be prescribed by the Appointing Person. The conferring, withdrawal or
discontinuance of divisional titles shall be in writing and shall be filed with
the Secretary of the Corporation.


Section 6. Salaries. The salaries and other compensation of the principal

                                   ARTICLE V

                      Execution of Corporate Instruments
               and Voting of Securities Owned by the Corporation


Section 1. Execution of Instruments. The Board of Directors may in its
discretion determine the method and designate the signatory officer or officers
or other person or persons, to execute any corporate instrument or document, or
to sign the corporate name without limitation, except where otherwise provided
by law, and such execution or signature shall be binding upon the Corporation.
All checks and drafts drawn on banks or other depositories on funds to the
credit of the Corporation or in special accounts of the Corporation, shall be
signed by such person or persons as the Treasurer or such other person
designated by the Board of Directors for that purpose shall authorize so to do.


Section 2. Voting of Securities Owned by the Corporation. All stock and other
securities of other corporations and business entities owned or held by the
Corporation for itself, or for other

                                       11
<PAGE>

parties in any capacity, shall be voted, and all proxies with respect thereto
shall be executed, by the person authorized to do so by resolution of the Board
of Directors.

                                  ARTICLE VI

                     Shares of Stock and Other Securities


Section 1. Form and Execution of Certificates. Certificates for the shares of
stock of the Corporation shall be in such form as is consistent with the
Certificate of Incorporation and applicable law. Every holder of stock in the
Corporation shall be entitled to have a certificate signed by, or in the name of
the Corporation by, the Chairman of the Board (if there be such an officer
appointed), or by the President or any Vice President and by the Treasurer or
Assistant Treasurer or the Secretary or Assistant Secretary, certifying the
number of shares owned by him in the Corporation. Any or all of the signatures
on the certificate may be a facsimile. In case any officer, transfer agent, or
registrar who has signed or whose facsimile signature has been placed upon a
certificate shall have ceased to be such officer, transfer agent, or registrar
before such certificate is issued, it may be issued with the same effect as if
he were such officer, transfer agent, or registrar at the date of issue. If the
Corporation shall be authorized to issue more than one class of stock or more
than one series of any class, the powers, designations, preferences and
relative, participating, optional or other special rights of each class of stock
or series thereof and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions of such
preferences and/or rights shall be set forth in full or summarized on the face
or back of the certificate which the Corporation shall issue to represent such
class or series of stock, provided that, except as otherwise provided in Section
202 of the General Corporation Law of Delaware, in lieu of the foregoing
requirements, there may be set forth on the face or back of the certificate
which the Corporation shall issue to represent such class or series of stock, a
statement that the Corporation will furnish without charge to each stockholder
who so requests the powers, designations, preferences and relative,
participating, optional or other special rights of each class of stock or series
thereof and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions of such preferences
and/or rights.


Section 2. Lost Certificates. The Board of Directors may direct a new
certificate or certificates to be issued in place of any certificate or
certificates theretofore issued by the Corporation alleged to have been lost or
destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming
the certificate of stock to be lost or destroyed. When authorizing such issue of
a new certificate or certificates, the Board of Directors may, in its discretion
and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the owner of such
lost or destroyed certificate or certificates, or his legal representative, to
indemnify the Corporation in such manner as it shall require and/or to give the
Corporation a surety bond in such form and amount as it may direct as indemnity
against any claim that may be made against the Corporation with respect to the
certificate alleged to have been lost or destroyed.


Section 3. Transfers. Transfers of record of shares of stock of the Corporation
shall be made only upon its books by the holders thereof, in person or by
attorney duly authorized, and upon the surrender of a certificate or
certificates for a like number of shares, properly endorsed.


Section 4. Fixing Record Dates. In order that the Corporation may determine the
stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders or
any adjournment thereof, or to express consent to corporate action in writing
without a meeting, or entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other
distribution or allotment of any rights, or entitled to exercise any rights in

                                       12
<PAGE>

respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock or for the purpose of any
other lawful action, the Board of Directors may fix, in advance, a record date,
which shall not be more than 60 nor less than 10 days before the date of such
meeting, nor more than 60 days prior to any other action. If no record date is
fixed: (1) the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of or
to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be at the close of business on the
day next preceding the day on which notice is given, or, if notice is waived, at
the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is
held; (2) the record date for determining stockholders entitled to express
consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, when no prior action
by the Board of Directors is necessary, shall be the day on which the first
written consent is expressed; (3) the record date for determining stockholders
for any other purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the
Board of Directors adopts the resolution relating thereto. A determination of
stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of
stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided, however,
that the Board of Directors may fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting.

Section 5. Registered Stockholders.  The Corporation shall be entitled to
recognize the exclusive right of a person registered on its books as the owner
of shares to receive dividends, and to vote as such owner, and shall not be
bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such share or
shares on the part of any other person, whether or not it shall have express or
other notice thereof, except as otherwise provided by the laws of Delaware.

Section 6. Regulations.  The Board of Directors may make such rules and
regulations as it may deem expedient concerning the issue, transfer and
registration of certificates for shares of the stock and other securities of the
Corporation, and may appoint transfer agents and registrars of any class of
stock or other securities of the Corporation.

Section 7. Other Securities of the Corporation.  All bonds, debentures and
other corporate securities of the Corporation, other than stock certificates,
may be signed by the Chairman of the Board (if there be such an officer
appointed), or the President or any Vice President or such other person as may
be authorized by the Board of Directors and the corporate seal impressed thereon
or a facsimile of such seal imprinted thereon and attested by the signature of
the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary, or the Treasurer or an Assistant
Treasurer; provided, however, that where any such bond, debenture or other
corporate security shall be authenticated by the manual signature of a trustee
under an indenture pursuant to which such bond, debenture or other corporate
security shall be issued, the signature of the persons signing and attesting the
corporate seal on such bond, debenture or other corporate security may be the
imprinted facsimile of the signatures of such persons.  Interest coupons
appertaining to any such bond, debenture or other corporate security,
authenticated by a trustee as aforesaid, shall be signed by the Treasurer or an
Assistant Treasurer of the Corporation, or such other person as may be
authorized by the Board of Directors, or bear imprinted thereon the facsimile
signature of such person.  In case any officer who shall have signed or attested
any bond, debenture or other corporate security or whose facsimile signature
shall appear thereon shall have ceased to be such officer before the bond,
debenture or other corporate security so signed or attested shall have been
delivered, such bond, debenture or other corporate security nevertheless may be
adopted by the Corporation and issued and delivered as though the person who
signed the same or whose facsimile signature shall have been used thereon had
not ceased to be such officer of the Corporation.

Section 1.  Power to Indemnify in Actions, Suits or Proceedings Other Than Those
by or in the Right of the Corporation.   Subject to Section 3 of this ARTICLE
VIII, the Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is
threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action,
suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative
(other than an action by or in the right of the Corporation) by reason of the
fact that he is or was a director or officer of the Corporation, or is or was a
director or officer of the Corporation serving at the request of the Corporation
as a director or officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership,
joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, against
expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in
settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such
action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner he
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no
reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.   The termination of any
action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a
plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a
        ---- ----------
presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had
reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.  The right to
indemnification conferred in this ARTICLE VIII shall be a contract right.

Section 2.  Power to Indemnify in Actions, Suits or Proceedings by or in the
Right of the Corporation.  Subject to Section 3 of this ARTICLE VIII, the
Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to
be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in
the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the
fact that he is or was a director or officer of the Corporation, or is or was a
director or officer of the Corporation serving at the request of the Corporation
as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership,
joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise against expenses
(including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in
connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if he acted in
good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the
best interests of the Corporation; except that no indemnification shall be made
in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been
adjudged to be liable to the Corporation unless and only to the extent that the
Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall
determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in
view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably
entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such
other court shall deem proper.

                                       14

Section 3.  Authorization of Indemnification.  Any indemnification under this
ARTICLE VIII (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the Corporation only
as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of
the director or officer is proper in the circumstances because he has met the
applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 1 or Section 2 of this
ARTICLE VIII, as the case may be.  Such determination shall be made (i) by the
Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who
were not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, or (ii) if such a quorum is
not obtainable, or, even if obtainable a quorum of disinterested directors so
directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (iii) by the
stockholders.  To the extent, however, that a director or officer of the
Corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any
action, suit or proceeding described above, or in defense of any claim, issue or
matter therein, he shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys'
fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith, without
the necessity of authorization in the specific case.

Section 4.  Good Faith Defined.  For purposes of any determination under Section
3 of this ARTICLE VIII, a person shall be deemed to have acted in good faith and
in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests
of the Corporation, or, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, to
have had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful, if his action
is based on the records or books of account of the Corporation or another
enterprise, or on information supplied to him by the officers of the Corporation
or another enterprise in the course of their duties, or on the advice of legal
counsel for the Corporation or another enterprise or on information or records
given or reports made to the Corporation or another enterprise by an independent
certified public accountant or by an appraiser or other expert selected with
reasonable care by the Corporation or another enterprise.  The term "another
enterprise" as used in this Section 4 shall mean any other corporation or any
partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise of
which such person is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a
director, officer, employee or agent.  The provisions of this Section 4 shall
not be deemed to be exclusive or to limit in any way the circumstances in which
a person may be deemed to have met the applicable standard of conduct set forth
in Sections 1 or 2 of this ARTICLE VIII, as the case may be.

Section 5.  Indemnification by a Court.  Notwithstanding any contrary
determination in the specific case under Section 3 of this ARTICLE VIII, and
notwithstanding the absence of any determination thereunder, any director or
officer may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction in the State of
Delaware for indemnification to the extent otherwise permissible under Sections
1 and 2 of this ARTICLE VIII.  The basis of such indemnification by a court
shall be a determination by such court that indemnification of the director or
officer is proper in the circumstances because he has met the applicable
standards of conduct set forth in Sections 1 or 2 of this ARTICLE VIII, as the
case may be.  Neither a contrary determination in the specific case under
Section 3 of this ARTICLE VIII nor the absence of any determination thereunder
shall be a defense to such application or create a presumption that the director
or officer seeking indemnification has not met any applicable standard of
conduct.  Notice of any application for indemnification pursuant to this Section
5 shall be given to the Corporation promptly upon the filing of such
application.   If successful, in whole or in part, the director or officer
seeking indemnification shall also be entitled to be paid the expense of
prosecuting such application.

Section 6.  Expenses Payable in Advance.  Expenses incurred by a director or
officer in defending or investigating a threatened or pending action, suit or
proceeding shall be paid by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition
of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on
behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately
be

                                       15
<PAGE>

determined that he is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation as
authorized in this ARTICLE VIII.

Section 7.  Nonexclusivity of Indemnification and Advancement of Expenses.  The
indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by or granted pursuant to
this ARTICLE VIII shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which
those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under
any By-Law, agreement, contract, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors
or pursuant to the direction (howsoever embodied) of any court of competent
jurisdiction or otherwise, both as to action in his official capacity and as to
action in another capacity while holding such office, it being the policy of the
Corporation that indemnification of the persons specified in Sections 1 and 2 of
this ARTICLE VIII shall be made to the fullest extent permitted by law.  The
provisions of this ARTICLE VIII shall not be deemed to preclude the
indemnification of any person who is not specified in Sections 1 or 2 of this
ARTICLE VIII but whom the Corporation has the power or obligation to indemnify
under the provisions of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, or
otherwise.

Section 8.  Insurance.  The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on
behalf of any person who is or was a director or officer of the Corporation, or
is or was a director or officer of the Corporation serving at the request of the
Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise
against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him in any such
capacity, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the Corporation
would have the power or the obligation to indemnify him against such liability
under the provisions of this ARTICLE VIII.

Section 9.  Certain Definitions.  For purposes of this ARTICLE VIII, references
to "the Corporation" shall include, in addition to the resulting corporation,
any constituent corporation (including any constituent of a constituent)
absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence had
continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its directors or
officers, so that any person who is or was a director or officer of such
constituent corporation, or is or was a director or officer of such constituent
corporation serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a
director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, shall stand in the
same position under the provisions of this ARTICLE VIII with respect to the
resulting or surviving corporation as he would have with respect to such
constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued.  For purposes
of this ARTICLE VIII, references to "fines" shall include any excise taxes
assessed on a person with respect to an employee benefit plan; and references to
"serving at the request of the Corporation" shall include any service as a
director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation which imposes duties on,
or involves services by, such director or officer with respect to an employee
benefit plan, its participants or beneficiaries; and a person who acted in good
faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in the interest of the
participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan shall be deemed to
have acted in a manner "not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation" as
referred to in this ARTICLE VIII.

Section 10.  Survival of Indemnification and Advancement of Expenses.  The
indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to,
this ARTICLE VIII shall, unless otherwise provided when authorized or ratified,
continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director or officer and shall
inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a
person.

                                       16
<PAGE>

Section 11.  Limitation on Indemnification.  Notwithstanding anything contained
in this ARTICLE VIII to the contrary, except for proceedings to enforce rights
to indemnification (which shall be governed by Section 5 hereof), the
Corporation shall not be obligated to indemnify any director or officer in
connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person unless
such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized or consented to by the Board of
Directors of the Corporation.

Section 12.  Indemnification of Employees and Agents.  The Corporation may, to
the extent authorized from time to time by the Board of Directors, provide
rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses to employees and
agents of the Corporation similar to those conferred in this ARTICLE VIII to
directors and officers of the Corporation.

Section 13.  Effect of Amendment.   Any amendment, repeal or modification of
this ARTICLE VIII shall not (a) adversely affect any right or protection of any
director or officer existing at the time of such amendment, repeal or
modification, or (b) apply to the indemnification of any such person for
liability, expense, or loss stemming from actions or omissions occurring prior
to such amendment, repeal, or modification.

Section 14.  Authority to Enter into Indemnification Agreements.   The
Corporation may enter into indemnification agreements with the directors and
officers of the Corporation, including, without limitation, any indemnification
agreement in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit 1 attached to these By-
Laws.

                                  ARTICLE IX

                                    Notices

Whenever, under any provisions of these By-Laws, notice is required to be given
to any stockholder, the same shall be given in writing, timely and duly
deposited in the United States Mail, postage prepaid, and addressed to his last
known post office address as shown by the stock record of the Corporation or its
transfer agent.  Any notice required to be given to any director may be given by
any of the methods stated in Section 8 of ARTICLE III hereof, except that such
notice other than one which is delivered personally, shall be sent to such
address or (in the case of facsimile telecommunication) facsimile telephone
number as such director shall have disclosed in writing to the Secretary of the
Corporation, or, in the absence of such filing, to the last known post office
address of such director.  If no address of a stockholder or director be known,
such notice may be sent to the office of the Corporation required to be
maintained pursuant to Section 2 of ARTICLE I hereof.  An affidavit of mailing,
executed by a duly authorized and competent employee of the Corporation or its
transfer agent appointed with respect to the class of stock affected, specifying
the name and address or the names and addresses of the stockholder or
stockholders, director or directors, to whom any such notice or notices was or
were given, and the time and method of giving the same, shall be conclusive
evidence of the statements therein contained.  All notices given by mail, as
above provided, shall be deemed to have been given as at the time of mailing and
all notices given by telegram or other means of electronic transmission shall be
deemed to have been given as at the sending time recorded by the telegraph
company or other electronic transmission equipment operator transmitting the
same.  It shall not be necessary that the same method of giving be employed in
respect of all directors, but one permissible method may be employed in respect
of any one or more, and any other permissible method or methods may be employed
in respect of any other or others.  The period or limitation of time within
which any stockholder may exercise any option or right, or enjoy any privilege
or benefit, or be required to act, or within which any director may exercise any
power or right, or enjoy any privilege, pursuant to

                                       17
<PAGE>

any notice sent him in the manner above provided, shall not be affected or
extended in any manner by the failure of such a stockholder or such director to
receive such notice. Whenever any notice is required to be given under the
provisions of this statutes or of the Certificate of Incorporation, or of these
By-Laws, a waiver thereof in writing signed by the person or persons entitled to
said notice, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed
equivalent thereto. Whenever notice is required to be given, under any provision
of law or of the Certificate of Incorporation or By-Laws of the Corporation, to
any person with whom communication is unlawful, the giving of such notice to
such person shall not be required and there shall be no duty to apply to any
governmental authority or agency for a license or permit to give such notice to
such person. Any action or meeting which shall be taken or held without notice
to any such person with whom communication is unlawful shall have the same force
and effect as if such notice had been duly given. In the event that the action
taken by the Corporation is such as to require the filing of a certificate under
any provision of the Delaware General Corporation Law, the certificate shall
state, if such is the fact and if notice is required, that notice was given to
all persons entitled to receive notice except such persons with whom
communication is unlawful.

                                   ARTICLE X

                                  Amendments

The Board of Directors is expressly authorized to adopt, alter and repeal the
By-Laws of the Corporation in whole or in part at any regular or special meeting
of the Board of Directors, by vote of a majority of the entire Board of
Directors.  Except where ARTICLE V of the Certificate of Incorporation of the
Corporation requires a higher vote, the By-Laws may also be adopted, altered or
repealed in whole or in part at any annual or special meeting of the
stockholders by the affirmative vote of three fourths of the shares of the
Corporation outstanding and entitled to vote thereon.

                           INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT


AGREEMENT, effective as of ______, 19__, between McKesson HBOC, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the "Company"), and ______________ (the "Indemnitee").

WHEREAS, it is essential to the Company to retain and attract as directors and
officers the most capable persons available.

WHEREAS, Indemnitee is a director/officer of the Company;

WHEREAS, both the Company and Indemnitee recognize the increased risk of
litigation and other claims being asserted against directors of public companies
in today's environment;

WHEREAS, the Certificate of Incorporation and the By-laws of the Company require
the Company to indemnify and advance expenses to its directors to the fullest
extent permitted by law and the Indemnitee has been serving and continues to
serve as a director or officer of the Company in part in reliance on such
Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws;

WHEREAS, in recognition of Indemnitee's need for substantial protection against
personal liability in order to enhance Indemnitee's continued service to the
Company in an effective manner and Indemnitee's reliance on the aforesaid
Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws, and in part to provide Indemnitee with
specific contractual assurance that the protection promised by such Certificate
of Incorporation and By-laws will be available to Indemnitee (regardless of,
among other things, any amendment to or revocation of such Certificate of
Incorporation and By-laws or any change in the composition of the Company's
Board of Directors or acquisition transaction relating to the Company), and in
order to induce Indemnitee to continue to provide services to the Company as a
director or officer thereof, the Company wishes to provide in this Agreement for
the indemnification of and the advancing of expenses to Indemnitee to the
fullest extent (whether partial or complete) permitted by law and as set forth
in this Agreement, and, to the extent insurance is maintained, for the continued
coverage of Indemnitee under the Company's directors' and officers' liability
insurance policies.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of Indemnitee continuing to
serve the Company directly or, at its request, with another enterprise, and
intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto agree as follows:


1. Certain Definitions.

   (a) Change in Control: shall be deemed to have occurred if (i) any "person"
(as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended), other than a trustee or other fiduciary holding securities
under an employee benefit plan of the Company or a corporation owned directly or
indirectly by the stockholders of the Company in substantially the same
proportions as their ownership of stock of the Company, is or becomes the
"beneficial owner" (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under said Act), directly or
indirectly, of securities of the Company representing 20% or more of the total
voting power represented by the Company's then outstanding Voting Securities, or
(ii) during any period of two consecutive years, individuals who at the
beginning of such period constitute the Board of Directors of the Company and
any new director whose election by the Board of Directors or nomination for
election by the Company's stockholders was approved by a vote of at least two-
thirds (2/3) of the directors then still in office who either
<PAGE>

were directors at the beginning of the period or whose election or nomination
for election was previously so approved, cease for any reason to constitute a
majority thereof, or (iii) the stockholders of the Company approve a merger or
consolidation of the Company with any other corporation, other than a merger or
consolidation which would result in the Voting Securities of the Company
outstanding immediately prior thereto continuing to represent (either by
remaining outstanding or by being converted into Voting Securities of the
surviving entity) at least 80% of the total voting power represented by the
Voting Securities of the Company or such surviving entity outstanding
immediately after such merger or consolidation, or the stockholders of the
Company approve a plan of complete liquidation of the Company or an agreement
for the sale or disposition by the Company (in one transaction or a series of
transactions) of all or substantially all of the Company's assets.

   (b) Expense:  include attorneys' fees and all other costs, expenses and
obligations paid or incurred in connection with investigating, defending, being
a witness in or participating in (including on appeal), or preparing to defend,
be a witness in or participate in any Proceeding relating to any Indemnifiable
Event.

   (c) Indemnifiable Event:  any event or occurrence that takes place either
prior to or after the execution of this Agreement, related to the fact that
Indemnitee is or was a director or an officer of the Company, or while a
director or officer is or was serving at the request of the Company as a
director, officer, employee, trustee, agent or fiduciary of another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, employee benefit plan, trust or other enterprise, or
by reason of anything done or not done by Indemnitee in any such capacity.

   (d) Potential Change in Control:  shall be deemed to have occurred if (i) the
Company enters into an agreement or arrangement, the consummation of which would
result in the occurrence of Change in Control; (ii) any person (including the
Company) publicly announces an intention to take or to consider taking actions
which if consummated would constitute Change in Control; (iii) any person, other
than a trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under an employee benefit
plan of the Company acting in such capacity or a corporation owned, directly or
indirectly, by the stockholders of the Company in substantially the same
proportions as their ownership of stock of the Company, who is or becomes the
beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company
representing 10% or more of the combined voting power of the Company's then
outstanding Voting Securities, increases his beneficial ownership of such
securities by 5% or more over the percentage so owned by such person on the date
hereof; or (iv) the Board adopts a resolution to the effect that, for purposes
of this Agreement, a Potential Change in Control has occurred.

   (e) Proceeding:  any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or
proceeding, or any inquiry, hearing or investigation, whether conducted by the
Company or any other party, that Indemnitee in good faith believes might lead to
the institution of any such action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
administrative, investigative or other.

   (f) Reviewing Party:  any appropriate person or body consisting of a member
or members of the Company's Board of Directors or any other person or body
appointed by the Board (including the special, independent counsel referred to
in Section 3) who is not a party to the particular Proceeding with respect to
which Indemnitee is seeking indemnification.

   (g) Voting Securities:  any securities of the Company which vote generally in
the election of directors.

                                       2

2. Agreement to Indemnify.

   (a) In the event Indemnitee was, is or becomes a party to or witness or other
participant in, or is threatened to be made a party to or witness or other
participant in, a Proceeding by reason of (or arising in part out of) an
Indemnifiable Event, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee to the fullest
extent permitted by law, as soon as practicable but in any event no later than
thirty days after written demand is presented to the Company, against any and
all Expenses, judgments, fines, penalties and amounts paid in settlement
(including all interest, assessments and other charges paid or payable in
connection with or in respect of such Expenses, judgments, fines, penalties or
amounts paid in settlement) of such Proceeding and any federal, state, local or
foreign taxes imposed on the Indemnitee as a result of the actual or deemed
receipt of any payments under this Agreement (including the creation of the
Trust).  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary and except
as provided in Section 5, prior to a Change in Control Indemnitee shall not be
entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement in connection with any
Proceeding initiated by Indemnitee against the Company or any director or
officer of the Company unless the Company has joined in or consented to the
initiation of such Proceeding.  If so requested by Indemnitee, the Company shall
advance (within ten business days of such request) any and all Expenses to
Indemnitee (an "Expense Advance").

   (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the obligations of the Company under
Section 2(a) shall be subject to the condition that the Reviewing Party shall
not have determined (in a written opinion, in any case in which the special,
independent counsel referred to in Section 3 hereof is involved) that Indemnitee
would not be permitted to be indemnified under applicable law, and (ii) the
obligation of the Company to make an Expense Advance pursuant to Section 2(a)
shall be subject to the condition that, if, when and to the extent that the
Reviewing Party determines that Indemnitee would not be permitted to be so
indemnified under applicable law, the Company shall be entitled to be reimbursed
by Indemnitee (who hereby agrees to reimburse the Company) for all such amounts
theretofore paid; provided, however, that if Indemnitee has commenced legal
proceedings in a court of competent jurisdiction to secure a determination that
Indemnitee should be indemnified under applicable law, any determination made by
the Reviewing Party that Indemnitee would not be permitted to be indemnified
under applicable law shall not be binding and Indemnitee shall not be required
to reimburse the Company for any Expense Advance until a final judicial
determination is made with respect thereto (as to which all rights of appeal
therefrom have been exhausted or lapsed).  Indemnitee's obligation to reimburse
the Company for Expense Advances shall be unsecured and no interest shall be
charged thereon.  If there has not been a Change in Control the Reviewing Party
shall be selected by the Board of Directors, and if there has been such a Change
in Control (other than a Change in Control which has been approved by a majority
of the Company's Board of Directors who were directors immediately prior to such
Change in Control), the Reviewing Party shall be the special, independent
counsel referred to in Section 3 hereof.  If there has been no determination by
the Reviewing Party or if the Reviewing Party determines that Indemnitee
substantively would not be permitted to be indemnified in whole or in part under
applicable law, Indemnitee shall have the right to commence litigation in any
court in the States of California or Delaware having subject matter jurisdiction
thereof and in which venue is proper seeking an initial determination by the
court or challenging any such determination by the Reviewing Party or any aspect
thereof, and the Company hereby consents to service of process and to appear in
any such proceeding.  Any determination by the Reviewing Party otherwise shall
be conclusive and binding on the Company and Indemnitee.

3. Change in Control.   The Company agrees that if there is a Change in Control
of the Company (other than a Change in Control which has been approved by a
majority of the Company's Board of Directors who were directors immediately
prior to such Change in Control) then with respect to all matters thereafter
arising concerning the rights of Indemnitee to indemnity payments and Expense
Advances under this Agreement or any other agreement or under applicable law or
the Company's

                                       3
<PAGE>

Certificate of Incorporation or By-Laws now or hereafter in effect relating to
indemnification for Indemnifiable Events, the Company shall seek legal advice
only from special, independent counsel selected by Indemnitee and approved by
the Company (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), and who has not
otherwise performed services for the Company or the Indemnitee (other than in
connection with such matters) within the last five years. Such independent
counsel shall not include any person who, under the applicable standards of
professional conduct then prevailing, would have a conflict of interest in
representing either the Company or Indemnitee in an action to determine
Indemnitee's rights under this Agreement. Such counsel, among other things,
shall render its written opinion to the Company and Indemnitee as to whether and
to what extent the Indemnitee would be permitted to be indemnified under
applicable law. The Company agrees to pay the reasonable fees of the special,
independent counsel referred to above and to indemnify fully such counsel
against any and all expenses (including attorneys' fees), claims, liabilities
and damages arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the engagement of
special, independent counsel pursuant hereto.

4. Establishment of Trust.   In the event of a Potential Change in Control, the
Company shall, upon written request by Indemnitee, create a Trust for the
benefit of the Indemnitee and from time to time upon written request of
Indemnitee shall fund such Trust in an amount sufficient to satisfy any and all
Expenses reasonably anticipated at the time of each such request to be incurred
in connection with investigating, preparing for and defending any Proceeding
relating to an Indemnifiable event, and any and all judgments, fines, penalties
and settlement amounts of any and all Proceedings relating to an Indemnifiable
Event from time to time actually paid or claimed, reasonably anticipated or
proposed to be paid.  The amount or amounts to be deposited in the Trust
pursuant to the foregoing funding obligation shall be determined by the
Reviewing Party, in any case in which the special, independent counsel referred
to above is involved.  The terms of the Trust shall provide that upon a Change
in Control (i) the Trust shall not be revoked or the principal thereof invaded,
without the written consent of the Indemnitee, (ii) the Trustee shall advance,
within ten business days of a request by the Indemnitee, any and all Expenses to
the Indemnitee (and the Indemnitee hereby agrees to reimburse the Trust under
the circumstances under which the Indemnitee would be required to reimburse the
Company under Section 2(b) of this Agreement), (iii) the Trust shall continue to
be funded by the Company in accordance with the funding obligation set forth
above, (iv) the Trustee shall promptly pay to the Indemnitee all amounts for
which the Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this
Agreement or otherwise, and (v) all unexpended funds in such Trust shall revert
to the Company upon a final determination by the Reviewing Party or a court of
competent jurisdiction, as the case may be, that the Indemnitee has been fully
indemnified under the terms of this Agreement.  The Trustee shall be chosen by
the Indemnitee.  Nothing in this Section 4 shall relieve the Company of any of
its obligations under this Agreement.  All income earned on the assets held in
the Trust shall be reported as income by the Company for federal, state, local
and foreign tax purposes.

5. Indemnification for Expenses Incurred in Enforcing this Agreement.  The
Company shall indemnify Indemnitee against any and all expenses (including
attorneys' fees), and, if requested by Indemnitee, shall (within ten business
days of such request) advance such expenses to Indemnitee, which are incurred by
Indemnitee in connection with any claim asserted against or action brought by
Indemnitee for (i) indemnification or advance payment of Expenses by the Company
under this Agreement or any other agreement or under applicable law or the
Company's Certificate of Incorporation or By-laws now or hereafter in effect
relating to indemnification for Indemnifiable Events and/or (ii) recovery under
any directors' and officers' liability insurance policies maintained by the
Company, regardless of whether Indemnitee ultimately is determined to be
entitled to such indemnification, advance expense payment or insurance recovery,
as the case may be.

6.   Partial Indemnity.  If Indemnitee is entitled under any provision of this
Agreement to indemnification by the Company for some or a portion of the
Expenses, judgments, fines, penalties and amounts paid in settlement of a
Proceeding but not, however, for all of the total amount thereof, the Company
shall nevertheless indemnify Indemnitee for the portion thereof to which
Indemnitee is entitled.  Moreover, notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement, to the extent that Indemnitee has been successful on the merits or
otherwise in defense of any or all Proceedings relating in whole or in part to
an Indemnifiable Event or in defense of any issue or matter therein, including
dismissal without prejudice, Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all
Expenses incurred in connection therewith.

7.   Defense to Indemnification, Burden of Proof and Presumptions. It shall be a
defense to any action brought by the Indemnitee against the Company to enforce
this Agreement (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for expenses
incurred in defending a Proceeding in advance of its final disposition where the
required undertaking has been tendered to the Company) that the Indemnitee has
not met the standards of conduct that make it permissible under the Delaware
General Corporation Law for the Company to indemnify the Indemnitee for the
amount claimed. In connection with any determination by the Reviewing Party or
otherwise as to whether the Indemnitee is entitled to be indemnified hereunder,
the burden of proving such a defense shall be on the Company. Neither the
failure of the Company (including its Board of Directors, independent legal
counsel, or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the
commencement of such action by the Indemnitee that indemnification of the
claimant is proper under the circumstances because he or she has met the
applicable standard of conduct set forth in the Delaware General Corporation
Law, nor an actual determination by the Company (including its Board of
Directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) that the Indemnitee
had not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the
action or create a presumption that the Indemnitee has not met the applicable
standard of conduct. For purposes of this Agreement, the termination of any
claim, action, suit or proceeding, by judgment, order, settlement (whether with
or without court approval) or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere, or
its equivalent, shall not create a presumption that Indemnitee did not meet any
particular standard of conduct or have any particular belief or that a court has
determined that indemnification is not permitted by applicable law.

8.   Non-exclusivity.  The rights of the Indemnitee hereunder shall be in
addition to any other rights Indemnitee may have under the Company's Certificate
of Incorporation or By-laws or the Delaware General Corporation Law or
otherwise.  To the extent that a change in the Delaware General Corporation Law
(whether by statute or judicial decision) permits greater indemnification by
agreement than would be afforded currently under the Company's Certificate of
Incorporation and By-laws and this Agreement, it is the intent of the parties
hereto that Indemnitee shall enjoy by this Agreement the greater benefits so
afforded by such change.

9.   Liability Insurance.  To the extent the Company maintains an insurance
policy or policies providing directors' and officers' liability insurance,
Indemnitee shall be covered by such policy or policies, in accordance with its
or their terms, to the maximum extent of the coverage available for any Company
director or officer.

10.  Period of Limitations.  No legal action shall be brought and no cause of
action shall be asserted by or on behalf of the Company or any affiliate of the
Company against Indemnitee, Indemnitee's spouse, heirs, executors or personal or
legal representatives after the expiration of two years from the date of accrual
of such cause of action, or such longer period as may be required by state law
under the circumstances, and any claim or cause of action of the Company or its
affiliate shall be extinguished and deemed released unless asserted by the
timely filing of a legal action

                                       5
<PAGE>

within such period; provided, however, that if any shorter period of limitations
is otherwise applicable to any such cause of action such shorter period shall
govern.

11.  Amendment of this Agreement.  No supplement, modification or amendment of
this Agreement shall be binding unless executed in writing by both of the
parties hereto.  No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be
deemed or shall constitute a waiver of any other provisions hereof (whether or
not similar) nor shall such waiver constitute a continuing waiver.

12.  Subrogation.  In the event of payment under this Agreement, the Company
shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of
recovery of Indemnitee, who shall execute all papers required and shall do
everything that may be necessary to secure such rights, including the execution
of such documents necessary to enable the Company effectively to bring suit to
enforce such rights.

13.  No Duplication of Payments.  The Company shall not be liable under this
Agreement to make any payment in connection with any claim made against
Indemnitee to the extent Indemnitee has otherwise actually received payment
(under any insurance policy, By-law or otherwise) of the amounts otherwise
indemnifiable hereunder.

14.  Settlement of Claims.   The Company shall not be liable to indemnify
Indemnitee under this Agreement for any amounts paid in settlement of any action
or claim effected without the Company's written consent.  The Company shall not
settle any action or claim in any manner which would impose any penalty or
limitation on Indemnitee without Indemnitee's written consent.  Neither the
Company nor the Indemnitee will unreasonably withhold their consent to any
proposed settlement.  The Company shall not be liable to indemnify the
Indemnitee under this Agreement with regard to any judicial award if the Company
was not given a reasonable and timely opportunity, at its expense, to
participate in the defense of such action.

15.  Binding Effect.  This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of and be enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective
successors, assigns, including any direct or indirect successor by purchase,
merger, consolidation or otherwise to all or substantially all of the business
and/or assets of the Company, spouses, heirs, and personal and legal
representatives.  The Company shall require and cause any successor (whether
direct or indirect by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all,
substantially all, or a substantial part, of the business and/or assets of the
Company, by written agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the
Indemnitee, expressly to assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same
manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform if
no such succession had taken place.  This Agreement shall continue in effect
regardless of whether Indemnitee continues to serve as a director or officer of
the Company or of any other enterprise at the Company's request.

16.  Severability.  The provisions of this Agreement shall be severable in the
event that any of the provisions hereof (including any provision within a single
section, paragraph or sentence) is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to
be invalid, void or otherwise unenforceable, and the remaining provisions shall
remain enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.  Furthermore, to the
fullest extent possible, the provisions of this Agreement (including, without
limitation, each portion of this Agreement containing any provision held to be
invalid, void or otherwise unenforceable, that is not itself invalid, void or
unenforceable) shall be construed so as to give effect to the intent manifested
by the provision held invalid, illegal or unenforceable.

                                       6

17.  Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be governed by and construed and
enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware applicable to
contracts made and to be performed in such State without giving effect to the
principles of conflicts of laws.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have duly executed and delivered this
Agreement as of the _______________ day of __________________, 19___.

A.   The Company, in its business, develops and uses certain trade secrets,
     pricing and marketing strategies, new products, customer lists, computer
     software, and other confidential and proprietary information and data (as
     hereinafter defined, "Confidential Information"). Such Confidential
     Information will necessarily be communicated to or acquired by Executive by
     virtue of his employment with the Company, and the Company has spent time,
     effort and money to develop such Confidential Information and to promote
     and increase its goodwill; and


B.   The Company desires to retain the services of, and employ, Executive on its
     own behalf and on behalf of its affiliated companies for the period
     provided in this Agreement and, in so doing, to protect its Confidential
     Information and goodwill, and Executive is willing to accept employment by
     the Company on a full-time basis for such period, upon the terms and
     conditions hereinafter set forth.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and the mutual
covenants herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1.   Employment. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Employment
     ----------
     Agreement, the Company agrees to employ Executive, and Executive agrees to
     accept employment from, and remain in the employ of, the Company for the
     period stated in Paragraph 3 hereof.

     hereunder, Executive agrees to serve the Company, and the Company shall

     (b)  Duties. During the period of his employment hereunder and except for
          ------
          illness, reasonable vacation periods, and reasonable leaves of
          absence, Executive shall devote his best efforts and all his business
          time, attention, skill and efforts to the business and affairs of the
          Company and its affiliated companies, as such business and affairs now
          exist and as they may be hereafter changed or added to, under and
          pursuant to the general direction of the Board of Directors of the
          Company; provided, however, that, with the approval of the Chief
                   --------  -------

          companies or organizations which, in such officer's judgment, will not
          present any conflict of interest with the Company or any of its
          subsidiaries or affiliates or divisions, or materially affect the
          performance of Executive's duties pursuant to this Agreement. The
          Company shall retain full direction and control of the means and

          time approved by the Board of Directors (or any duly authorized
          Committee thereof) of the Company (any such higher salary so approved
          to be thereafter the minimum salary payable to Executive during the
          remainder of the term hereof), plus such additional incentive
          compensation, if any, as may be voted to him yearly by the Board of
          Directors (or any duly authorized Committee thereof). Executive shall

          performing his obligations under this Agreement. The Company further
          agrees to furnish Executive with such assistance and accommodations as
          shall be suitable to the character of Executive's position with the
          Company and adequate for the performance of his duties hereunder.

     (c)  Other Benefits. During the period of employment under this Agreement,
          --------------
          Executive shall be entitled to receive all other benefits of
          employment generally available to other members of the Company's

          Incentive Plan, Long Term Incentive Plan, 1984 Executive Benefit
          Retirement Plan ("EBRP"), 1988 Executive Survivor Benefits Plan
          ("ESBP"), Stock Purchase Plan and 1994 Restricted Stock and Stock
          Option Plan (or any similar plan or arrangement), and the Company
          agrees that none of such benefits shall be altered in any manner in
          such a way as to reduce any then existing entitlement of Executive
          thereunder.

          ---------------
          of One Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,500,000.00) as soon
          as practicable following execution of this Agreement. This bonus is
          not to be construed as a salary type payment but rather a retention
          payment, to be retained by Executive if and only if he

                                      -2-
<PAGE>

          remains employed by Company one year following execution of this
          Agreement. Executive acknowledges and agrees that, in the event he
          voluntarily leaves the Company's employment within one (1) year of the
          date hereof, he shall promptly (and in no event later than thirty (30)
          days following cessation of employment) return one-half of said bonus
          (i.e., $750,000.00) to Company.

     (b)  Stock Options. Executive has received a grant of One Million
          -------------
          (1,000,000) non-qualified stock options, which options will vest at
          the rate of fifty percent (50%) at the end of two years from the date
          hereof, seventy-five percent (75%) at the end of three years and one
          hundred percent (100%) at the end of the fourth year from the date
          hereof. Such options are otherwise subject to the terms and conditions
          of the plan or arrangement pursuant to which they were issued.

     (c)  LTIP Cash Award. Company shall grant Executive a Long-Term Incentive
          ---------------
          Plan award of Ten Million dollars ($10,000,000.00), payable, if
          earned, fifty percent (50%) at the end of three years, and fifty
          percent (50%) at the end of five years, in each case, from the date
          hereof. Executive acknowledges that payments of the award are
          contingent and based upon Company's total shareholder return ("TSR").
          Full awards will be paid if, at the end of each measurement period,
          the TSR is at or above the 75th percentile of the S&P 500 (excluding
          therefrom financial institutions). Partial awards will be paid as
          follows: 75% if TSR is between the 60th and 75th percentile; 50% if
          TSR is between the 50th and 60th percentile; and 25% if TSR is below
          the 50th percentile.

6.   Benefits Payable Upon Disability or Death.
     -----------------------------------------

     (a)  Disability Benefits. If Executive shall be prevented during the term
          -------------------
          of this Agreement from properly performing services hereunder by
          reason of illness or other physical or mental incapacity, the Company
          shall continue to pay Executive his then current salary hereunder
          during the period of his disability; provided, however, that if
          Executive is disabled for a continuous period exceeding twelve (12)
          calendar months, then the Company's obligations hereunder shall cease
          and terminate.

     (b)  Death Benefits. In the event of the death of Executive during the term
          --------------
          of this Agreement, Executive's salary payable hereunder shall continue
          to be paid to Executive's surviving spouse, or if there is no spouse
          surviving, then to Executive's designee or representative (as the case
          may be) through the six-month period following the end of the calendar
          month in which death occurs. Thereafter, all of Company's obligations
          hereunder shall cease and terminate.

     (c)  Other Plans. The provisions of this Paragraph 6 shall not affect any
          -----------
          rights of Executive's heirs, administrators, executors, legatees,
          beneficiaries or assigns under the Company's Profit-Sharing Investment
          Plan, EBRP, Long Term Incentive Plan, ESBP, Restricted Stock and Stock
          Option Plan (or any similar plan or arrangement), any stock purchase
          plan or any other employee benefit plan of the Company, and any such
          rights shall be governed by the terms of the respective plans.

7.   Obligations of Executive During and After Employment.
     ----------------------------------------------------

     (a)  No Competition. Executive agrees that during the term of his
          --------------
          employment under this Agreement, he will engage in no other business
          activities, directly or indirectly, which are or may be competitive
          with or which might place him in a competing position to that

                                      -3-
<PAGE>

          of the Company, or any affiliated company, without the prior written
          consent of the Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

     (a)  Unauthorized Use of Confidential Information. Executive acknowledges
          --------------------------------------------
          and agrees that (i) during the course of his employment Executive will
          have produced and/or have access to Confidential Information, of
          Company and its affiliated companies, and (ii) the unauthorized use or
          sale of any of such confidential or proprietary information at any
          time would harm the Company and would constitute unfair competition
          with Company. Executive promises and agrees not to engage in any
          unfair Competition with Company either during or after the term of
          this Agreement. Therefore, during and subsequent to his employment by
          Company or an affiliated Company, Executive agrees to hold in
          confidence and not, directly or indirectly, disclose, use, copy or
          make lists of any such information, except to the extent expressly
          authorized by Company in writing. All records, files, drawings,
          documents, equipment, and the like, or copies thereof, relating to
          Company's business, or the business of an affiliated company, which
          Executive shall prepare, or use, or come into contact with, shall be
          and remain the sole property of Company, or of an affiliated company,
          and shall not be removed (except to allow Executive to perform his
          responsibilities hereunder while traveling for business purposes or
          otherwise working away from his office) from the Company's or the
          affiliated company's premises without its prior written consent, and
          shall be promptly returned to Company upon termination of employment
          with Company and its affiliated companies. This paragraph 7(b) shall
          survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement.

     (c)  Confidential Information Defined. For purposes of this Agreement,
          --------------------------------
          "Confidential Information" means all information (whether reduced to
          written, electronic, magnetic or other tangible form) acquired in any
          way by Executive during the course of his employment with the Company
          concerning the products, projects, activities, business or affairs of
          the Company or the Company's customers, including, without limitation,
          (i) all information concerning trade secrets of the Company, including
          computer programs, system documentation, special hardware, product
          hardware, related software development, manuals, formulae, processes,
          methods, machines, compositions, ideas, improvements or inventions of
          Company and its affiliated companies, (ii) all sales and financial
          information concerning the Company, (iii) all customer and supplier
          lists, (iv) all information concerning products or projects under

          and (v) all information in any way concerning the products, projects,
          activities, business or affairs of customers of the Company which was
          furnished to him by the Company or any of its agents or customers;
          provided, however, that Confidential Information does not include
          information which (A) becomes available to the public other than as a
          result of a disclosure by Executive, (B) was available to him on a
          non-confidential basis outside of his employment with the Company, or
          (C) becomes available to him on a non-confidential basis from a source
          other than the Company or any of its agents, creditors, suppliers,
          lessors, lessees or customers.

     (d)  Nonsolicitation. Executive recognizes and acknowledges that it is
          ---------------
          essential for the proper protection of the business of the Company
          that Executive be restrained for a reasonable period following the
          termination of Executive's employment with the Company from: (1)
          soliciting or inducing any employee of the Company to leave the employ
          of the Company; (2) hiring or attempting to hire any employee of the
          Company; or (3) soliciting the trade of or trading with the customers
          of the Company for any competitive business purpose. Accordingly,
          Executive agrees that during the term of his employment under this
          Agreement, and for the Restricted Period thereafter following the
          termination of Executive's employment with the Company for any reason,
          Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, (i) hire, solicit, aid in
          or encourage the hiring and/or

                                      -4-
<PAGE>

          solicitation of, contract with, aid in or encourage the contracting
          with, or induce or encourage to leave the employment of the Company,
          any employee of the Company; and (ii) solicit, aid in or encourage the
          solicitation of, contract with, aid in or encourage the contracting
          with, service, or contact any person or entity which is, or was,
          within three years prior to the termination of Executive's employment
          with the Company, a customer or client of the Company for the purpose
          of offering or selling a product or service competitive with any of
          those offered by the Company. For purposes of this Paragraph 7(d), the
          "Restricted Period" shall be deemed to be two (2) years. This
          Paragraph 7(d) shall survive the termination or expiration of this
          Agreement.

     (e)  Remedy for Breach. Executive agrees that in the event of a breach or
          -----------------
          threatened breach of any of the covenants contained in this Paragraph
          7, the Company shall have the right and remedy to have such covenants
          specifically enforced by any court having jurisdiction, it being
          acknowledged and agreed than any material breach of any of the
          covenants will cause irreparable injury to the Company and that money
          damages will not provide an adequate remedy to the Company.

8.   Termination.
     -----------

     (a)  For Cause. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the
          ---------
          Company may, without liability, terminate Executive's employment
          hereunder for cause at any time upon written notice from the Board of
          Directors (or any duly authorized Committee thereof) specifying such
          cause, and thereafter the Company's obligations hereunder shall cease
          and terminate; provided, however, that such written notice shall not
                         --------  -------
          be delivered until after the Board of Directors (or any duly
          authorized Committee thereof) shall have given Executive written
          notice specifying the conduct alleged to have constituted such cause
          and Executive has failed to cure such conduct, if curable, within
          fifteen (15) days following receipt of such notice. As used herein,
          the term "cause" shall mean (i) Executive's willful misconduct,
          habitual neglect, dishonesty or other intentional actions (or failures
          to act) which are materially and demonstrably injurious to the
          Company, or (ii) a material breach by Executive of one or more terms
          of this Agreement.

     (a)  Arbitration Required to Confirm Cause. In the event of a termination
          -------------------------------------
          for cause pursuant to subparagraph (a) above, the Company shall
          continue to pay Executive's then current compensation as specified in
          this Agreement until the issuance of an arbitration award affirming
          the Company's action. Such arbitration shall be held in accordance
          with the provisions of Paragraph 9(d) below. In the event the award
          upholds the action of the Company, Executive shall promptly repay to
          the Company any sums received pursuant to this subparagraph 8(b),
          following termination of employment.

     (b)  Other than for Cause; Performance, Reorganization. Notwithstanding
          -------------------------------------------------
          anything herein to the contrary, Company may also terminate
          Executive's employment (without regard to any general or specific
          policies of Company relating to the employment or termination of its
          employees) should (i) Executive fail to perform his duties hereunder
          in a manner satisfactory to the Chief Executive Officer of Company,
          provided that Executive shall first be given written notice of such
          unsatisfactory performance and a period of ninety (90) days to improve
          such performance to a level deemed acceptable to the Chief Executive
          Officer or, (ii) Executive's position be eliminated as a result of a
          reorganization or restructuring of Company or its affiliated
          companies.

     (c)  Obligations of Company on Termination of Employment.

               specified in subparagraph 8(b)

                                      -5-

            or awards, or any perquisites from Company whatsoever, and

            Executive's automobile allowance and Executive Medical Plan benefits
            until the earlier of the expiration date of this Agreement or the

            provisions of subparagraph (d)(iv) below, continue the accrual and
            vesting of Executive's rights, benefits and existing awards for the
            remainder of the term of this Agreement for purposes of the EBRP,
            ESBP, and the Stock Option and Restricted Stock Plan (or any similar

            Directors, or any duly authorized Committee, in its sole discretion,

          following execution of this Agreement. This bonus is not to be
          construed as a salary type payment but rather a retention payment, to

          percent (50%) at the end of five years, in each case, from the date
          hereof. Executive acknowledges that payments of the award are
          contingent and based upon Company's total shareholder return ("TSR").
          Full awards will be paid if, at the end of each measurement period,
          the TSR is at or above the 75th percentile of the S&P 500 (excluding

7.   Obligations of Executive During and After Employment.
     ----------------------------------------------------

     (a)  No Competition. Executive agrees that during the term of his
          --------------
          employment under this Agreement, and for the "Restricted Period" (as
          hereinafter defined) thereafter following the termination of
          Executive's employment with the Company for any reason, he will not,
          within the United States, (i) participate, engage or have any interest
          in, directly or indirectly,any person, firm, corporation, or business

          personal services, advice, acts of management, operation or control)
          which carries on any business or activity competitive with the Company

          or services sold, investigated, developed or otherwise pursued by the
          Company or any affiliated company at any time or from time to time).
          For purposes of this Paragraph 7(a), the "Restricted Period" shall be
          deemed to be one year.

     (b)  Unauthorized Use of Confidential Information. Executive acknowledges
          --------------------------------------------
          and agrees that (i) during the course of his employment with HBO &
          Company ("HBOC") and with the Company, Executive has or will have
          produced and/or has had or will have access to Confidential
          Information, as hereinafter defined,and (ii) the unauthorized use or
          sale of any such Confidential Information at any time would harm the
          Company and would constitute unfair competition with Company.
          Therefore, during his employment by Company or by an affiliated
          company, and for a period of five (5) years after termination of such
          employment, Executive agrees to hold in confidence Confidential
          Information and not, directly or indirectly, disclose, publish, or
          otherwise make available to the public or to any individual, firm or
          corporation, or use, copy or make lists of any Confidential
          Information, except to the extent expressly authorized by Company in
          writing. Executive further agrees that all Confidential Information,
          together with all records, files, drawings, documents, equipment, and
          the like, or copies thereof, relating to Company's business, or the
          business of an affiliated company, which Executive shall prepare, or
          use, or come into contact with, shall be and remain the sole property
          of Company, or of an affiliated company, and shall not be removed
          (except to allow Executive to perform his responsibilities hereunder

          his office) from the Company's or the affiliated company's premises
          without its prior written consent, and shall be promptly returned to
          Company upon termination of employment with Company and its affiliated
          companies.

          --------------------------------
          "Confidential Information" means all information (whether reduced to
          written, electronic, magnetic or other tangible form) acquired in any
          way by Executive during the course of his employment with the Company
          concerning the products,projects, activities, business or affairs of
          the Company or the Company's customers, including, without limitation,
          (i) all information concerning trade secrets of the Company, including
          computer programs, system documentation, special hardware, product

          provided, however, that Confidential Information does not include
          information which (A) becomes available to the public other than as a
          result of a disclosure by Executive, (B) was

                                      -4-
<PAGE>

          available to him on a non-confidential basis outside of his employment
          with the Company, or (C) becomes available to him on a non-
          confidential basis from a source other than the Company or any of its
          agents, creditors, suppliers, lessors, lessees or customers. "Company"
          as used herein includes all affiliates of the Company including,
          without limitation, HBOC.

     (d)  Nonsolicitation. Executive recognizes and acknowledges that it is
          ---------------
          essential for the proper protection of the business of the Company
          that Executive be restrained for a reasonable period following the
          termination of Executive's employment with the Company from: (1)
          soliciting or inducing any employee of the Company to leave the employ
          of the Company; (2) hiring or attempting to hire any employee of the
          Company; or (3) soliciting the trade of or trading with the customers
          of the Company for any competitive business purpose. Accordingly,
          Executive agrees that during the term of his employment under this
          Agreement, and for the Restricted Period thereafter following the
          termination of Executive's employment with the Company for any reason,
          Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, (i) hire, solicit, aid in
          or encourage the hiring and/or solicitation of, contract with, aid in
          or encourage the contracting with, or induce or encourage to leave the
          employment of the Company, any employee of the Company; and (ii)

          client of the Company or HBOC, for the purpose of offering or selling
          a product or service competitive with any of those offered by the
          Company. For purposes of this Paragraph 7(d), the "Restricted Period"
          shall be deemed to be two (2) years.

     (e)  Remedy for Breach. Executive agrees that in the event of a breach or
          -----------------
          threatened breach of any of the covenants contained in this Paragraph
          7, the Company shall have the right and remedy to have such covenants
          specifically enforced by any court having jurisdiction, it being
          acknowledged and agreed than any material breach of any of the
          covenants will cause irreparable injury to the Company and that money
          damages will not provide an adequate remedy to the Company.

     (f)  Blue-Penciling. Executive acknowledges and agrees that the
          --------------
          noncompetition and nonsolicitation agreements contained herein are
          reasonable and valid in geographic, temporal and subject matter scope
          and in all other respects, and do not impose limitations greater than
          that are necessary to protect the goodwill, Confidential Information,
          and other business interests of the Company, Nevertheless, if any
          court determines that any of said noncompetition and other restrictive
          covenants and agreements, or any part thereof, is unenforceable
          because of the duration or geographic scope of such provision, such
          court shall have the power to reduce the duration or scope of such
          provision, as the case may be, and, in its reduced form, such
          provision shall then be enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by
          applicable law.

     (g)  Survivability. Paragraphs 7(a), (b) and (d) shall survive the
          -------------
          termination or expiration of this Agreement.

          Confidential Information does not include information which (A)
          becomes available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure
          by Executive, (B) was available to him on a non-confidential basis

          to him on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the
          Company or any of its agents, creditors, suppliers, lessors, lessees
          or customers. "Company" as used herein includes all subsidiaries and
          affiliates of the Company.

     (d)  Nonsolicitation. Executive recognizes and acknowledges that it is
          ---------------

          termination of Executive's employment with the Company from: (1)
          soliciting or inducing any employee of the Company to leave the employ
          of the Company; (2) hiring or attempting to hire any employee of the
          Company; or (3) soliciting the trade of or trading with the customers
          of the Company for any competitive business purpose. Accordingly,
          Executive agrees that during the term of his employment under this
          Agreement, and for the Restricted Period thereafter following the
          termination of Executive's employment with the Company for any reason,
          Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, (i) hire, solicit, aid in
          or encourage the hiring and/or solicitation of, contract with, aid in
          or encourage the contracting with, or induce or encourage to leave the
          employment of the Company, any employee of the Company; and (ii)
          solicit, aid in or encourage the solicitation of, contract with, aid
          in or encourage the contracting with, service, or contact any person
          or entity which is, or was, within three years prior to the

          client of the Company, for the purpose of offering or selling a
          product or service competitive with any of those offered by the
          Company. For purposes of this Paragraph 6(d), the "Restricted Period"
          shall be deemed to be two (2) years. This Paragraph 6(d) shall survive
          the termination or expiration of this Agreement.

     (e)  Remedy for Breach. Executive agrees that in the event of a breach or
          -----------------
          threatened breach of any of the covenants contained in this Paragraph
          6, the Company shall have the right and remedy to have such covenants
          specifically enforced by any court having jurisdiction, it being
          acknowledged and agreed than any material breach of any of the

                                                                          Page 6
<PAGE>

          covenants will cause irreparable injury to the Company and that money
          damages will not provide an adequate remedy to the Company.

7. Termination.
   -----------

     (a)  For Cause. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the
          ---------
          Company may, without liability, terminate Executive's employment
          hereunder for cause at any time upon written notice from the Board of
          Directors (or any duly authorized Committee thereof) specifying such
          cause, and thereafter the Company's obligations hereunder shall cease
          and terminate; provided, however, that such written notice shall not
                         --------  -------
          be delivered until after the Board of Directors (or any duly
          authorized Committee thereof) shall have given Executive written
          notice specifying the conduct alleged to have constituted such cause
          and Executive has failed to cure such conduct, if curable, within
          fifteen (15) days following receipt of such notice. As used herein,
          the term "cause" shall mean (i) Executive's willful misconduct,
          habitual neglect, dishonesty, or other intentional actions (or
          failures to act) which are materially and demonstrably injurious to
          the Company, or (ii) a material breach by Executive of one or more
          terms of this Agreement.

     (b)  Arbitration Required to Confirm Cause. In the event of a termination
          -------------------------------------
          for cause pursuant to subparagraph (a) above, the Company shall
          continue to pay Executive's then current compensation as specified in
          this Agreement until the issuance of an arbitration award affirming
          the Company's action. Such arbitration shall be held in accordance
          with the provisions of Paragraph 8(d) below. In the event the award
          upholds the action of the Company, Executive shall promptly repay to
          the Company any sums received pursuant to this subparagraph 7(b),
          following termination of employment.

     (c)  Other than for Cause: Performance. Notwithstanding anything herein to
          ---------------------------------
          the contrary, Company may also terminate Executive's employment
          (without regard to any general or specific policies of Company
          relating to the employment or termination of its employees) should
          Executive fail to perform his duties hereunder in a manner
          satisfactory to the Board of Directors of the Company), provided that
          Executive shall first be given written notice of such unsatisfactory
          performance and a period of ninety (90) days to improve such
          performance to a level deemed acceptable to the Board.

     (d)  Obligations of Company on Termination of Employment.
          ---------------------------------------------------


                                                                          Page 7

     i)   If Company terminates Executive's employment pursuant to subparagraph
          7(a) above, and the Company's action is affirmed as specified in
          subparagraph 7(b) above, then all of Company's obligations hereunder
          shall immediately cease and terminate. Executive shall thereupon have
          no further right or entitlement to additional salary, incentive
          compensation payments or awards, or any perquisites from Company
          whatsoever, and Executive's rights, if any, under Company's employee
          and executive benefit plans shall be determined solely in accordance
          with the express terms of the respective plans;

     ii)  If (x) Company terminates Executive's employment pursuant to
          subparagraph 7(c) above, or (y) Executive, in his sole discretion,
          resigns or otherwise voluntarily leaves his employment with Company
          (for any reason whatsoever) prior to the expiration of this Agreement,
          then, in either case, in complete satisfaction and discharge of all of
          its obligations to Executive hereunder, Company shall, except as
          provided in Section 8(c) below, (a) continue Executive's then base
          salary, without increase or decrease, for the remainder of the term of
          this Agreement (it being understood, subject to subparagraph 7(d)(iii)
          below, that Executive shall have no obligation to seek other
          employment during such term, and that Company shall not reduce its
          payments hereunder or have the right of offset as a result of any
          compensation Executive may receive from a subsequent employer during
          such term), (b) continue Executive's incentive award compensation
          under the terms of Company's MIP for each fiscal year ending within
          the term of this Agreement, such MIP awards to be equal, in each case,
          to 100% of Executive's Individual Target Award existing at the time of
          his termination of employment, (c) provide Executive with lifetime (i)
          coverage under Company's Executive Medical Plan and financial
          counseling program and, (ii) office space and secretarial support
          services as may be suitable and adequate for Executive's needs, (d)
          continue Executive's participation in the Deferred Compensation
          Administration Plan II, and Executive's automobile allowance for the
          term of this Agreement, (e) continue the accrual and vesting of
          Executive's rights, and benefits for the remainder of the term of this
          Agreement for purposes of the Executive Survivor Benefit Plan and the
          Executive Benefit Retirement Plan (with Executive's benefits, for
          purposes of those two plans only, calculated on the basis of Executive
          receiving (i) Approved Retirement commencing on the expiration of this
          Agreement and, (ii) with respect to the

                                                                          Page 8

          Executive Benefit Retirement Plan, a benefit calculated on the basis
          of the greater of 60% or the maximum percentage of Average Final
          Compensation then specified in the Plan without any reduction for
          early retirement), (f) continue the vesting of all of Executive's
          awards for the remainder of the term of this Agreement (but not
          thereafter) for purposes of the Company's Stock Option and Restricted
          Stock Plan (or any similar plan or arrangement) and the Long Term
          Incentive Plan, provided, however, that (unless the Board of
                          --------  -------
          Directors, or any duly authorized Committee, in its sole discretion,
          determines otherwise) Executive shall in no event be entitled to or
          receive additional grants or awards subsequent to the date of his
          termination of employment and, provided, further, that, with respect
                                         --------  -------
          to the Long Term Incentive Plan, Executive shall receive pro-rata
          payouts on the expiration date of this Agreement for all then pending
          performance periods but Executive shall not participate in any way in
          any performance period commencing subsequent to the date of his
          termination of employment, and (g) deem Executive's termination to
          have occurred as if the sum of his age and years of service to Company
          is at least 65 for purposes of both the Deferred Compensation
          Administration Plan II and the Stock Option and Restricted Stock Plan
          (or any similar plan or arrangement), and (h) terminate Executive's
          participation in Company's tax-qualified profit-sharing plan, pursuant
          to the terms of said plan, as of the date of Executive's termination

     iii) Notwithstanding any contrary language or provision in paragraph 7(d)
          (ii) above, or elsewhere in this Agreement, Executive expressly
          acknowledges and agrees that:

          (x) Company shall have the right to cease all payments otherwise due
          Executive pursuant to paragraphs 7(d) (ii)(a) and 7(d)(ii)(b) above in
          the event that, prior to the expiration of date of this Agreement,
          Executive accepts employment with, advises, consults with or otherwise
          renders services to, any business which competes with the business
          then being conducted by Company or its affiliates,
          and

          (y) any and all of Executive's grants, awards, or benefits received
          (or to be received) pursuant to the Company's Stock Option and
          Restricted Stock Plan (or any similar plan or arrangement), Long Term
          Incentive Plan and Executive Benefit Retirement Plan (collectively,
          the "Plans") remain subject to the special

                                                                          Page 9

          Statement of Terms and Conditions applicable thereto).

8.   General Provisions.

          parties of May 20, 1996) and the rights of Executive with respect to
          the benefits of employment referred to in Paragraph 4(c) constitute
          the entire agreement between the parties hereto in respect of the
          employment of Executive by Company. This Agreement supersedes and
          replaces all prior oral and written agreements, understandings,
          commitments, and practices between the parties, including but not
          limited to the Prior Agreement (whether or not fully performed by
          Executive prior to the date hereof) which shall be of no further force
          or effect.

     (c)  In the event Executive's employment with Company shall terminate under
          circumstances otherwise providing Executive with a right to
          compensation and benefits under both Section 5 of the Termination
          Agreement and Section 7(d)(ii) of this Agreement, Executive shall be
          entitled to receive the greater of the compensation and benefits
                                  -------
          provided therein, calculated individually, without duplication.

          this Agreement, or the breach hereof, shall be settled exclusively by
          arbitration in accordance with the Rules of the American Arbitration
          Association then in effect. Judgment upon the award rendered by the
          arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Any
          arbitration held pursuant to this paragraph in connection with any
          termination of Executive's employment shall take place in San
          Francisco, California at the earliest possible date. If any proceeding
          is necessary to enforce or interpret the terms of this

                                                                         Page 10

          relief to which he or it may be entitled.

     (e)  The provisions of this Agreement shall be regarded as divisible, and
          if any of said provisions or any part thereof are declared invalid or
          unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the validity and
          enforceability of the remainder of such provisions or parts thereof
          and the applicability thereof shall not be affected thereby.

                                                                         Page 11

                              McKESSON HBOC, INC.

                  1994 STOCK OPTION AND RESTRICTED STOCK PLAN

                     (As Amended Through January 27, 1999)

     1.   Establishment, Purpose and Definitions.
          --------------------------------------

          (a)  There is hereby adopted the McKesson HBOC, Inc. 1994 Stock Option
and Restricted Stock Plan (the "Plan"), (formerly known as the McKesson
Corporation 1994 Stock Option and Restricted Stock Plan). The Plan shall be the
successor to the McKesson Corporation 1988 Restricted Stock Plan and the
McKesson Corporation 1978 Stock Option Plan (collectively, the "Predecessor
Plans") with respect to those awards under the Predecessor Plans which will be
equitably adjusted to become awards under the Plan ("Adjusted Awards"), all in
connection with the restructuring of McKesson Corporation, a Delaware
corporation ("Old McKesson"), that will result in the sale of Old McKesson's PCS
business to Eli Lilly and Company (the "Transaction"). In connection with the
Transaction, SP Ventures, Inc. was renamed McKesson Corporation, the name of
which was subsequently changed to McKesson HBOC, Inc. on January 12, 1999 (which
entities are referred to herein as the "Company", as the context so requires)
and the Plan was renamed the McKesson Corporation 1994 Stock Option and
Restricted Stock Plan.

          (b)  The purpose of this Plan is to provide a means whereby key
executives of the Company and its affiliates may be given an opportunity to
purchase shares of the common stock ($0.01 par value) of the Company (the
"Stock") pursuant to options which may or may not qualify as "incentive stock
options" under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended (the
"Code"), and by providing participants with grants of restricted shares of Stock
("Restricted Stock") in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth
herein. Until July 30, 1997, the Plan also provided for grants of options to
members of the Board of Directors of the Corporation who were not employed as
regular salaried officers or employees of the Corporation or its affiliates
("Non-Employee Directors"). On that date, the stockholders approved the Non-
Employee Directors' Equity Compensation and Deferral Plan (the "1997 Plan"), and
all grants of options to Non-Employee Directors from that date forward will be
made under the 1997 Plan. All options previously granted to Non-Employee
Directors under this Plan will continue to be governed by the terms and
conditions in effect at the time of the grant of such options.

     2.   Stock Subject to the Plan.
          -------------------------

          (a)  The aggregate number of shares of Stock available for the grant
of awards hereunder shall equal the sum of (a) the number of shares of Stock
issuable in connection with Adjusted Awards, plus (b) 29,300,000 (all such
shares shall be subject to equitable adjustment as
<PAGE>

provided herein). With respect to the shares of Stock referred to in clause (b)
above (the "Future Award Shares") no more than 2,200,000 shares may be awarded
as Restricted Stock (subject to equitable adjustment as provided herein). The
maximum number of Future Award Shares that may be granted to any individual
during any plan year in the form of Restricted Stock shall not exceed 40,000 and
the maximum number of Future Award Shares that may be granted to any individual
in the form of options during any plan year shall not exceed 600,000; in each
case, such maximum number shall be subject to equitable adjustment as provided
herein. All awards of Future Award Shares shall be contingent on the approval of
the Plan by the stockholders of the Company at its first annual meeting of
stockholders next following consummation of the Transaction.

          As the Committee (as hereinafter defined) may determine from time to
time, the Stock may consist either in whole or in part of shares of authorized
but unissued Stock, or shares of authorized and issued Stock reacquired by the
Company and held in its treasury. If an option covered by Future Award Shares is
surrendered for cash or for any other reason (except surrender for shares of
Stock) ceases to be exercisable in whole or in part, the shares which were
subject to such option but as to which the option had not been exercised shall
continue to be available for grants of stock options under the Plan. If any
shares of Stock underlying Restricted Stock grants which are covered by Future
Award Shares shall be reacquired by the Company pursuant to the termination
provisions described herein or in the instruments evidencing the making of such
Restricted Stock grants, such shares shall again be available for grant of
Restricted Stock awards under the Plan (to the extent permitted under Rule 16b-3
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act").
Prior to the granting of awards, the Company shall be under no obligation to
reserve or retain in its treasury any particular number of shares of Stock at
any time, and no particular shares of Stock, whether issued or held as treasury
Stock, shall be identified as being available for future awards under the Plan.

          (b)  In the case of options which are intended to qualify as
"incentive stock options" under Section 422 of the Code, the aggregate fair
market value (determined as of the time the option is granted) of the Stock with
respect to which incentive stock options are exercisable for the first time by
any eligible key executive during any calendar year (under this Plan and any
other plans of the Company) shall not exceed $100,000.

          (c)  In the event that the Committee shall determine that any dividend
or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, stock, or other property),
recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, merger,
consolidation, spin-off, combination, repurchase, or share exchange, or other
similar corporate transaction or event, affects the Stock such that an
adjustment is appropriate in order to preserve (but not increase) the rights of
participants under the Plan, then the Committee shall make such equitable
changes or adjustments as it deems necessary or appropriate to any or all of (i)
the number and kind of shares which may thereafter be issued in connection with
Future Award Shares (with respect to both Restricted Stock and option awards),
(ii) the number and kind of shares issued in respect of outstanding Adjusted
Awards, (iii) the number and kind of shares issued in respect of outstanding
awards of Future Award Shares, and (iv) the exercise price relating to any
options.

                                       2
<PAGE>

     3.   Eligibility.
          -----------

          Persons who shall be eligible to have granted to them awards provided
for by the Plan shall be such key executives of the Company and its affiliates
as the Committee, in its sole discretion, shall designate from time to time.

     4.   Administration of the Plan.
          --------------------------

          (a)  The Plan shall be administered by a committee (the "Committee")
consisting of not less than two directors of the Company to be appointed by the
Board, each of whom is an "outside director" within the meaning of Section
162(m) of the Code and a "non-employee director" within the meaning of Rule 16b-
3 under the Exchange Act.

          (b)  The Committee may from time to time determine which key
executives of the Company and its affiliates shall be granted awards under the
Plan, the terms thereof, and the number of shares covered by an option or the
number of shares of Restricted Stock to be granted.

          (c)  The Committee shall have the sole authority, in its absolute
discretion, to adopt, amend, and rescind such rules and regulations as, in its
opinion, may be advisable in the administration of the Plan, to construe and
interpret the Plan, the rules and regulations, and the instruments evidencing
awards granted under the Plan and to make all other determinations deemed
necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan. All decisions,
determinations, and interpretations of the Committee shall be final and binding
on all participants and other interested parties.

     5.   Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights.
          -------------------------------------------

          (a)  The Option Price.
               ----------------

          The exercise price of each option shall not be less than the fair
market value of the Stock covered by such option on the date the option is
granted, except that the option price associated with Adjusted Awards shall be
such price as results from the equitable adjustment of such awards. Such fair
market value shall, if the Stock is not listed or admitted to trading on a stock
exchange, be the mean between the lowest reported bid price and highest reported
asked price of the Stock on the date the option is granted in the over-the-
counter market, as reported by any publication of general circulation selected
by the Company which regularly reports the market price of the Stock in such
market, or, if the Stock is then listed or admitted to trading on any stock
exchange, the composite closing price on such day as reported in the Wall Street
Journal; provided, however, that if the Committee determines that as a result of
the Transaction fair market value may be more accurately determined based on the
average closing price of the Stock over a three-consecutive-day period
immediately prior to the grant, then such average will constitute fair market
value. Such price shall be subject to adjustment as provided in paragraph 2(c)
hereof.

                                       3
<PAGE>

          (b)  Terms and Conditions of Options.
               -------------------------------

               (i)   Each option granted pursuant to the Plan shall be evidenced
by a written grant agreement (the "Agreement") executed by the Company and the
person to whom such option is granted which shall provide such terms and
conditions as the Committee may determine, in its sole discretion.

               (ii)  Unless otherwise provided in the Agreement, the term of
each option shall be for no more than ten years and three months; provided
however that the term of each option intended to qualify as an "incentive stock
option" shall be for no more than ten years.

               (iii) The Agreement may contain such other terms, provisions, and
conditions as may be determined by the Committee (not inconsistent with this
Plan) including, without limitation, provisions relating to stock appreciation
rights ("SARs") with respect to options granted hereunder. Unless otherwise
provided in the Agreement, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, extend the
post-termination exercise period with respect to an option (but not beyond the
original term of such option). If an option, or any part thereof, is intended to
qualify as an "incentive stock option", the Agreement shall contain those terms
and conditions necessary to so qualify said option or such part thereof.

               (iv)  The Committee shall have the authority to accelerate the
exercisability of any outstanding option at such time and under such
circumstances as it, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate.

               (v)   Adjusted Awards shall remain subject to the same terms and
conditions to which they were subject prior to any equitable adjustment made in
respect of the Transaction.

          (c)  Stock Appreciation Rights.
               -------------------------

          The Committee may, under such terms and conditions as it deems
appropriate, authorize the surrender by an optionee of all or part of an
unexercised option and authorize a payment in consideration thereof of an amount
equal to the difference obtained by subtracting the option price of the shares
then subject to exercise under such option from the fair market value of the
Stock represented by such shares on the date of surrender, provided that the
Committee determines that such settlement is consistent with the purpose of the
Plan. Such payment may be made in shares of Stock valued at their fair market
value on the date of surrender of such option or in cash, or partly in shares
and partly in cash. Acceptance of such surrender and the manner of payment shall
be in the discretion of the Committee. If an option is surrendered for cash, the
shares covered by the surrendered option will thereafter be available for grant
under the Plan to the extent permitted under Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act.

          (d)  Use of Proceeds.
               ---------------

          Proceeds realized from the sale of Stock pursuant to options granted
under the Plan shall constitute general funds of the Company.

     6.   Restricted Stock Awards.
          -----------------------

          (a)  Terms and Conditions.
               --------------------

          Each Restricted Stock grant made pursuant to the Plan shall be
evidenced by an Agreement executed by the Company and the person to whom such
Restricted Stock is granted (the "Grantee"). Each Restricted Stock grant made
under the Plan shall, unless otherwise provided in the Agreement, contain the
following terms, conditions and restrictions and such additional terms,
conditions and restrictions as may be determined by the Committee. Adjusted
Awards shall maintain the same terms and conditions to which they were subject
prior to any equitable adjustment made in respect of the Transaction.

          (b)  Restrictions.
               ------------

          Until the restrictions imposed on any Restricted Stock grant shall
lapse, shares of Stock granted to a participant pursuant to a Restricted Stock
grant:

               (i)  shall not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged,
hypothecated, or otherwise disposed of, and

               (ii) shall, if the Grantee's continuous employment with the
Company shall terminate for any reason, unless otherwise provided in the
Agreement, be returned to the Company forthwith, and all the rights of the
Grantee to such shares shall immediately terminate; provided that if the
Committee, in its sole discretion, shall within ninety (90) days of such
termination of employment, notify the participant in writing of its decision not
to terminate the Grantee's rights in such shares, then the Grantee shall
continue to be the owner of such shares subject to such continuing restrictions
as the Committee may prescribe in such notice. If the Grantee's interests in the
shares granted pursuant to a Restricted Stock grant shall be terminated, such
Grantee shall forthwith deliver or cause to be delivered to the Secretary of the
Company the certificate(s), if any, previously delivered to the Grantee for such
shares, accompanied by such endorsement(s) and/or instrument(s) of transfer as
may be required by the Secretary of the Company.

          (c)  Lapse of Restrictions.
               ---------------------

          Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or the Agreement, the
restrictions imposed on any Restricted Stock grant shall commence with the date
of the grant and continue during a period set by the Committee. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Committee may accelerate the lapsing of restrictions on a
Restricted Stock grant under such terms and conditions as it may deem
appropriate.

                                       5
<PAGE>

          (d)  Restrictive Legend; Certificates May be Held in Custody.
               -------------------------------------------------------

          Each certificate evidencing shares granted pursuant to a Restricted
Stock grant may bear an appropriate legend referring to the terms, conditions
and restrictions described in the Plan and in the instrument evidencing the
Restricted Stock grant. Any attempt to dispose of such shares in contravention
of such terms, conditions and restrictions shall be invalid. The Committee may
enact rules which provide that the certificates evidencing such shares may be
held in custody by a bank or other institution, or that the Company may itself
hold such shares in custody, until restriction thereon shall have lapsed.

          (e)  Restrictions upon Making of Restricted Stock Grants.
               ---------------------------------------------------

          The registration or qualification under any federal or state law of
any shares to be granted pursuant to Restricted Stock grants or the resale or
other disposition of any such shares by or on behalf of the Grantees receiving
such shares may be necessary or desirable as a condition of or in connection
with such Restricted Stock grants, and, in any such event, if the Committee in
its sole discretion so determines, delivery of the certificates for such shares
shall not be made until such registration or qualification shall have been
completed.

          (f)  Special Provisions Regarding Awards.
               -----------------------------------

          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, unless
otherwise provided in the Agreement governing a Restricted Stock grant,
Restricted Stock awards granted pursuant to this Section 6 to Executive Officers
(as such term is defined in Rule 3b-7 promulgated under the Exchange Act) shall
be based on the attainment by the Company (or a subsidiary or division of the
Company if applicable) of performance goals pre-established by the Committee,
during a performance period pre-established by the Committee, based on one or
more of the following criteria: (i) the attainment of a specified percentage
return on total capital employed by the Company (or a subsidiary or division of
the Company); (ii) the attainment of a specified percentage return on total
stockholder equity of the Company; (iii) the attainment of a specified
percentage increase in earnings per share of Stock from continuing operations;
(iv) the attainment of a specified percentage increase in net income of the
Company; (v) the attainment of a specified percentage increase in profit before
taxation of the Company (or a subsidiary or division of the Company); and (vi)
the attainment of a specified percentage increase in revenues of the Company (or
a subsidiary or division of the Company). In addition, such performance goals
may be based upon the attainment of specified levels of Company performance
under one or more of the measures described above relative to the performance of
other corporations.

          Each such performance criteria shall be evaluated in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles. Such shares of Restricted Stock shall
be released from restrictions only after the attainment of such performance
measures have been certified by the Committee.

     7.   Change in Control.
          -----------------

          Upon a Change in Control (as hereinafter defined), then
notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, all options granted under the
Plan that are outstanding at the time of such Change in Control shall become
immediately exercisable in full and all restrictions with respect to shares of
Restricted Stock shall lapse and such shares shall become fully vested and
exercisable.

          A "Change in Control" of the Company shall be deemed to have occurred
if any of the events set forth in any one of the following paragraphs shall
occur:

               (i)   any "person" (as such term is used in sections 13(d) and
14(d) of the Exchange Act), excluding the Company or any of its affiliates, a
trustee or any fiduciary holding securities under an employee benefit plan of
the Company or any of its affiliates, an underwriter temporarily holding
securities pursuant to an offering of such securities or a company owned,
directly or indirectly, by stockholders of the Company in substantially the same
proportions as their ownership of the Company, is or becomes the "beneficial
owner" (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or
indirectly, of securities of the Company representing 30% or more of the
combined voting power of the Company's then outstanding securities; or

               (ii)  during any period of not more than two consecutive years,
individuals who at the beginning of such period constitute the Board and any new
director (other than a director designated by a Person who has entered into an
agreement with the Company to effect a transaction described in clause (i),
(iii) or (iv) of this paragraph) whose election by the Board or nomination for
election by the Company's stockholders was approved by a vote of at least two-
thirds (2/3) of the directors then still in office who either were directors at
the beginning of the period or whose election or nomination for election was
previously so approved, cease for any reason to constitute a majority thereof;
or

               (iii) the shareholders of the Company approve a merger or
consolidation of the Company with any other company, other than (A) a merger or
consolidation which would result in the voting securities of the Company
outstanding immediately prior thereto continuing to represent (either by
remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the
surviving entity), in combination with the ownership of any trustee or other
fiduciary holding securities under an employee benefit plan of the Company, at
least 50% of the combined voting power of the voting securities of the Company
or such surviving entity outstanding immediately after such merger or
consolidation, or (B) a merger or consolidation effected to implement a
recapitalization of the Company (or similar transaction) in which no person
acquires more than 50% of the combined voting power of the Company's then
outstanding securities; or

               (iv)  the shareholders of the Company approve a plan of complete
liquidation of the Company or an agreement for the sale or disposition by the
Company of all or substantially all of the Company's assets.

                                       7
<PAGE>

          Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Change in Control shall be deemed to
have occurred if there is consummated any transaction or series of integrated
transactions immediately following which the holders of the Stock immediately
prior to such transaction or series of transactions continue to have the same
proportionate ownership in an entity which owns all or substantially all of the
assets of the Company immediately prior to such transaction or series of
transactions.

     8.   Amendment and Termination of the Plan.
          -------------------------------------

          The Board at any time and from time to time may suspend, terminate,
modify or amend the Plan; provided, however, that an amendment which
requires stockholder approval in order for the Plan to continue to comply with
Section 162(m) of the Code or any other law, regulation or stock exchange
requirement shall not be effective unless approved by the requisite vote of
stockholders. No suspension, termination, modification or amendment of the Plan
may adversely affect any award previously granted without the written consent of
the Grantee.

     9.   Assignability.
          -------------

          Each option award granted pursuant to this Plan shall, during the
participant's lifetime, be exercisable only by him. No award nor any right
thereunder shall be transferable by the participant by operation of law or
otherwise other than by will, the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant
to a qualified domestic relations order as defined in the Code or the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended.

     10.  Payment Upon Exercise.
          ---------------------

          Payment of the purchase price upon exercise of any option granted
under this Plan shall be made in cash; provided that the Committee, in its sole
discretion, may permit an option holder to pay the option price, in whole or in
part, by tendering to the Company shares of Stock owned by the option holder,
and having a fair market value equal to the option price. The fair market value
of such Stock shall be determined by the Committee as it deems appropriate, or
as may be required in order to comply with any applicable law or regulation.

     11.  Effective Date and Duration of the Plan.
          ---------------------------------------

          The Plan shall become effective upon its adoption by the Board and the
approval thereof by Old McKesson as the sole stockholder of the Company;
provided, however, that the effectiveness of the Plan shall be contingent upon
the occurrence of the Transaction and all awards of Future Award Shares shall be
contingent on the approval of the Plan by the stockholders of the Company at its
first annual meeting of stockholders. Unless sooner terminated, the Plan shall
remain in effect until terminated by action of the Board, provided, however,
that the duration of the Plan shall in no event exceed ten years from the date
of the adoption of the Plan by the Board. Termination of the Plan shall not
affect any awards previously granted pursuant thereto, which shall remain in
effect until their restrictions shall have

                                       8
<PAGE>

lapsed (with respect to Restricted Stock grants) or until exercised (with
respect to option grants) all in accordance with their terms.

     12.  Agreement by Participant Regarding Withholding Taxes.
          ----------------------------------------------------

          If the Committee shall so require, as a condition of exercise of an
option or SAR or upon the lapsing of restrictions imposed on Restricted Stock
(each a "Tax Event"), each participant shall agree that no later than the date
of the Tax Event, the participant will pay to the Company or make arrangements
satisfactory to the Committee regarding payment of any federal, state or local
taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld upon the Tax Event.
Alternatively, the Committee may provide, in its sole discretion, that a
participant may elect, to the extent permitted or required by law, to have the
Company deduct federal, state and local taxes of any kind required by law to be
withheld upon the Tax Event from any payment of any kind due to the participant,
including withholding of Shares.

     13.  Rights as a Shareholder.
          -----------------------

          A participant granted an award hereunder or a transferee of an award
shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to any shares covered by the
award until the date of the issuance of a stock certificate to him for such
shares. No adjustment shall be made for dividends (ordinary or extraordinary,
whether in cash, securities or other property) or distribution of other rights
for which the record date is prior to the date such stock certificate is issued,
except as otherwise provided in the Plan.

     14.  No Rights to Employment.
          -----------------------

          Nothing in the Plan or in any award granted or Agreement entered into
pursuant hereto shall confer upon any participant the right to continue in the
employ of, or in an independent contractor relationship with, the Company or any
subsidiary or to be entitled to any remuneration or benefits not set forth in
the Plan or such Agreement or to interfere with or limit in any way the right of
the Company or any such subsidiary to terminate such participant's employment.
Awards granted under the Plan shall not be affected by any change in duties or
position of a participant as long as such participant continues to be employed
by, or in a consultant relationship with, the Company or any subsidiary.

     15.  Interpretation.
          --------------

          The Plan is designed and intended to comply with Rule 16b-3
promulgated under the Exchange Act and Section 162(m) of the Code and all
provisions hereof shall be construed in a manner to so comply.

<PAGE>

of shares of Common Stock subject to the Plan, (ii) the number of shares of
Common Stock subject to outstanding awards under the Plan, and (iii) the grant
or exercise price with respect to any option.

     6. Restricted Stock Units; Deferrals.
        ---------------------------------

(a)  Transition Grant. As soon as practicable following January 1, 1997,
     ----------------
each Participant shall receive an initial grant (the "Transition Grant") of a
number of Restricted Stock Units in consideration for the termination of such
Participant's accrued benefits and rights under the Company's Director's
Retirement Program (the "Prior Plan"); provided that the Transition Grant shall
be subject to the receipt by the Company of a written release from the
Participant, in the form approved by the Committee, consenting to such
termination. The number of Restricted Stock Units granted to a Participant in
respect of the Transition Grant shall equal the Accrued Benefit (as defined
below), divided by the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock as of
December 31, 1996. A Participant's Accrued Benefit shall equal his or her
accrued benefit under the Prior Plan, as of December 31, 1996.

     (b)  Annual Grant. On the date of each Annual Meeting prior to the
          ------------
termination or expiration of the Plan, beginning with the 1997 Annual Meeting,
each Participant shall receive a grant of 400 Restricted Stock Units. Effective
January 27, 1999, the annual grants of 400 Restricted Stock Units shall be
discontinued.

     (c)  Mandatory Deferral. On each date that any portion of the Annual
          ------------------
Retainer would otherwise be payable to a Participant prior to the termination or
expiration of the Plan, each such Participant shall be required to defer the
receipt of an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of such portion of Annual
Retainer, which amount shall be deferred in the form of Restricted Stock Units
or Retainer Options, as elected by the Participant prior to the end of the
calendar year preceding the year in which the Annual Retainer is payable. In the
event that a participant fails to make such an election with respect to any
calendar year in which he or she receives payment of an Annual Retainer, the
Participant shall be deemed to have elected to receive the Annual Retainer in
the form of Restricted Stock Units. The number of Restricted Stock Units granted
to a Participant in respect of such deferral shall equal the Annual Retainer so
deferred, divided by the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock as of the
last trading day of the calendar quarter immediately preceding the date such
Annual Retainer would otherwise be payable. To the extent applicable, Restricted
Stock Units granted pursuant to this paragraph shall be subject to the same

                                       4
<PAGE>

terms and conditions described in Section 6(d)(ii) below. The number of Retainer
Option shares granted to a Participant in respect of such deferral shall be
determined using the same conversion rate as employed in that year for the
purpose of determining the number of stock option shares to be granted to
employees in lieu of awards under the Company's Management Incentive Plan.

     (d)  Optional Deferral. All Fees (other than the portion of Annual Retainer
          -----------------
subject to Mandatory Deferral described above) earned by a Participant in each
Director Year prior to the termination or expiration of the Plan shall be
subject to the following payment and deferral options. Each Participant may
elect by written notice to the Company, in accordance with the procedures
established by the Company, to participate in such payment and deferral options.

          (i)   Cash Alternative. Unless a valid election is made in accordance
                ----------------
     with the procedures established by the Company, each Participant shall
     receive payment of all Fees (other than the portion of Annual Retainer
     subject to Mandatory Deferral described above) in the form of cash.

          (ii)  Restricted Stock Unit Alternative. Subject to executing a valid
                ---------------------------------
     election with the Company (the "RSU Election"), each Participant may elect
     to defer all or any portion of his or her Fees (other than the portion of
     Annual Retainer subject to Mandatory Deferral described above) in the form
     of Restricted Stock Units. The number of Restricted Stock Units granted
     shall equal the amount of Fees so deferred, divided by the Fair Market
     Value of the Common Stock as of the last trading day of the calendar
     quarter immediately preceding the date such Fees would otherwise be
     payable. The RSU Election (A) shall be in the form of a document executed
     by the Participant and filed with the Secretary of the Company, (B) shall
     be made before the first day of the calendar year in which the applicable
     Fees are earned and shall become irrevocable on the last day prior to the
     beginning of such calendar year, and (C) shall continue until the
     Participant ceases to serve as a director of the Company or until he or she
     terminates or modifies such election by written notice to the Company in
     accordance with the procedures established by the Company, any such
     termination or modification to be effective as of the end of the calendar
     year in which such notice is given with respect to Fees otherwise payable
     in subsequent calendar years. Any person who becomes a Participant during
     any Director Year may execute an RSU Election prior to commencing service
     on the Board with respect to Fees to be earned for the remainder of such
     year and for future Director Years in accordance with the procedures
     established by the Company.

          Each Restricted Stock Unit shall entitle the holder to, upon
     distribution thereof (A) receive a cash payment equal to the Fair Market
     Value of one share of Common Stock, or (B) have issued in his or her name
     one share of Common Stock. In either case, each such Restricted Stock Unit
     shall terminate upon distribution.

          The Company shall credit each Participant holding Restricted Stock
     Units with a number of additional Restricted Stock Units equal to any
     dividends and other

                                       5
<PAGE>

     distributions paid by the Company on an equivalent number of shares of
     Common Stock, as of the date such dividends or distributions are payable.
     Such additional Restricted Stock Units shall thereafter be treated as any
     other Restricted Stock Units issued under the Plan. Restricted Stock Units
     may not be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged or otherwise encumbered or
     disposed of until such time as share certificates for Common Stock are
     issued.

          Each Participant issued Restricted Stock Units shall execute a valid
     distribution election in accordance with the procedures established by the
     Committee (the "Distribution Election"). The Distribution Election shall
     indicate (A) whether distribution shall be made in the form of Common Stock
     or cash, (B) whether the distribution shall be made in a single allotment
     or in substantially equal annual installments over a period not to exceed
     ten (10) years and (C) with respect to Distribution Elections filed on or
     after October 28, 1998, the date on which the distribution shall commence
     in accordance with the next paragraph. The Distribution Election (D) shall
     be in the form of a document executed by the participant and filed with the
     Secretary of the Company, (E) shall be made no later than twelve (12)
     months prior to the distribution date and (F) shall become irrevocable
     twelve (12) months prior to the distribution date.

          With respect to a Distribution Election completed on or after October
     28, 1998, the Participant shall elect whether distributions shall commence
     as soon as practicable after (i) the first business day of January of the
     calendar year following the Participant's cessation from service as a
     director of the Company; or (ii) the first business day of January of any
     calendar year, provided that such calendar year is not later than the
     calendar year following the calendar year in which the Participant attains
     age 72. All other distributions shall commence as soon as practicable after
     the first business day of the January following the Participant's cessation
     from service as a director of the Company. If no valid Distribution
     Election is made, the Restricted Stock Units shall be distributed in a lump
     sum as soon as practicable after the first business day of January of the
     calendar year following the Participant's cessation from service as a
     director of the Company, in the form of cash. Participants who receive
     Restricted Stock Units shall have no rights as stockholders with respect to
     such Restricted Stock Units until share certificates for Common Stock are
     issued. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, any fractional
     shares of Common Stock issuable hereunder shall be paid in cash.

          Upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, Common Stock to be issued
     in respect of all Restricted Stock Units shall be immediately distributed.

          (iii) DCAP II Alternative. Subject to executing an election in
                -------------------
     accordance with the procedures established by the Company and the terms of
     DCAP II, each Participant may elect to defer all or any portion of his or
     her Fees (other than the portion of Annual Retainer subject to Mandatory
     Deferral described above) under DCAP II.

                                       6
<PAGE>

          (iv)  Retainer Option Alternative. Subject to executing an election in
                ---------------------------
     accordance with the procedures established by the Company, each Participant
     may elect to receive the portion of Annual Retainer not subject to
     Mandatory Deferral, as described in Section 6(c) above, in the form of
     Retainer Options. The number of Retainer Option shares granted to a
     Participant with respect to such deferral shall be determined in the manner
     described in Section 6(c) above.

     7. Stock Options.
        -------------

     (a)  Discretionary Grants. The Committee may, in its sole discretion, grant
          --------------------
options to purchase Common Stock to Participants, pursuant to such terms and
conditions that it may deem advisable, so long as not inconsistent with Section
7(d) below or any other terms of this Plan.

     (b)  Formula Grants. Each Participant then serving as a non-employee
          --------------
director of the Company shall automatically receive, on the date of each January
meeting of the Board, an option to purchase 10,000 shares of Common Stock
(subject to adjustment as provided in Section 5(b) above); provided, however,
that a Participant who is elected to the Board after the January meeting of the
Board shall be granted, as of the date of election, a prorated number of options
with respect to the initial year of participation in the Plan, based on the
number of full calendar quarters remaining in the calendar year in which the
Participant is elected to the Board. The options granted pursuant to this
Section 7(b) shall be immediately exercisable in full and have an option term of
ten years.

     (c)  Retainer Option Grants. At the same time that the Company makes stock
          ----------------------
option grants annually to eligible employees, each Participant who has made an
election to receive a Retainer Option pursuant to Section 6(c) or 6(d)(iv) with
respect to all or any portion of the Annual Retainer to be paid in such year
shall be granted an option to purchase that number of shares of Common Stock
determined pursuant to Section 6(c) and/or Section 6(d)(iv), as applicable. The
terms of such Retainer Options shall be as prescribed by the Committee, so long
as such terms are not inconsistent with Section 7(d) below or any other terms of
this Plan.

     (d)  Terms and Conditions of Options. Except as provided in Section 7(b)
          -------------------------------
above, the following terms and conditions shall apply to all options granted to
Participants under the Plan.

          (i)   The exercise price of each option shall not be less than the
     Fair Market Value of the Common Stock covered by the option on the date the
     option is granted.

          (ii)  Each option granted pursuant to the Plan shall be evidenced by a
     written grant agreement (the "Agreement") executed by the Company and the
     person to whom such option is granted which shall provide such terms and
     conditions as the Committee may determine, in its sole discretion, so long
     as not inconsistent with the terms of this Plan.

          (iii) The term of each option shall be for no more than ten years.

                                       7
<PAGE>

          (iv)  The Agreement may contain such other terms, provisions, and
     conditions as may be determined by the Committee (not inconsistent with
     this Plan). Unless otherwise provided in the Agreement and excluding
     options granted under paragraph (b) above, the Committee may, in its sole
     discretion, extend the post-termination exercise period with respect to an
     option (but not beyond the original term of such option).

          (v)   Payment of the purchase price upon exercise of any option shall
     be made in cash; provided that the Committee, in its sole discretion, may
     permit an option holder to pay the option price by such other method that
     it may deem appropriate, including, without limitation, by tendering to the
     Company shares of Common Stock owned by the option holder, and having a
     Fair Market Value equal to the option price. Such stock surrender method
     may permit an election by the option holder to have the unrealized gain
     with respect to the option denominated in stock units (based on the fair
     market value of a share of Common Stock on the date of exercise) and paid
     in shares of Common Stock at the time specified by the Participant at the
     time of making the stock surrender option gain deferral election. During
     the deferral period each such stock unit shall be credited with additional
     stock units equal to any dividends or other distributions paid by the
     Company on an equivalent number of shares of Common Stock, as of the date
     such dividends or distributions are payable. Stock units may not be sold,
     transferred, assigned, pledged or otherwise encumbered or disposed of until
     such time as share certificates for Common Stock are issued.

          (vi)  All such options shall be designated as stock options which do
     not qualify under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
     amended.

          (vii) Unless otherwise provided in an Agreement, options granted under
     the Plan will become immediately and fully vested and exercisable upon the
     occurrence of a Change in Control.

     8.  Administration. The Plan shall be administered by the Committee. The
         --------------
Committee shall have full power to interpret the Plan and formulate additional
details and regulations for carrying out the Plan. Any decision or
interpretation adopted by the Committee shall be final and conclusive.

     9.  No Right to Serve. Nothing in the Plan shall confer upon any
         -----------------
Participant the right to remain in service as a member of the Board.

     10. Amendment and Termination. The Board at any time may amend or terminate
         -------------------------
the Plan; provided that any such amendment or termination does not adversely
affect the rights of any Participant.

     11. Governing Law. The validity, construction and effect of the Plan and
         -------------
any such actions taken under or relating to the Plan shall be determined in
accordance with the laws of the State of California.

                                       8
<PAGE>

     12. Notices. All notices under this Plan shall be sent in writing to the
         -------
Secretary of the Company. All correspondence to the Participants shall be sent
in writing to the Participant at the address which is their recorded address as
listed on the most recent election form or as specified in the Company's
records.

     13. Unfunded Status of Awards. The Plan is intended to constitute an
         -------------------------
"unfunded" plan for incentive and deferred compensation. Nothing contained
hereunder shall give any Participant any rights that are greater than those of
an unsecured general creditor of the Company.

                                                                    EXHIBIT 10.7

                              McKESSON HBOC, INC.
                               SUPPLEMENTAL PSIP
                               -----------------

A.  PURPOSE
    -------

    This Plan is established to allow certain Company executives to elect to
defer compensation which cannot be deferred under the McKesson HBOC, Inc. Profit
Sharing Investment Plan ("PSIP") because of limitations of tax laws or
participation in DCAP II, and to provide for a Company Match on those deferrals
at a rate equivalent to the PSIP's "Matching Employer Contribution".

B.  ERISA PLAN
    ----------

    This Plan is an unfunded deferred compensation program for a select group of
management employees of the Company.  The Plan, therefore, is covered by Title I
of ERISA except that it is exempt from Parts 2, 3, and 4 of Title I of ERISA.

C.  PARTICIPATION
    -------------

    1.   Eligibility to Participate.  The Administrator may, at his discretion,
         --------------------------
and at any time, and from time to time, select Company executives who may elect
to participate in this Plan ("Eligible Executives"). Selection of Eligible
Executives may be evidenced by the terms of the executive's employment contract
with the Company, or by inclusion among the persons specified in writing by the
Administrator. Participants in DCAP II who elect to defer compensation under
that plan shall be automatically eligible to participate in and shall constitute
Eligible Executives under this Plan. The Administrator may, at his discretion,
and at any time, and from time to time, provide that executives previously
designated by him are no longer Eligible Executives.

         If the Administrator determines that an executive is no longer an
Eligible Executive, he or she shall remain a Participant in the Plan until all
amounts credited to his or her Account prior to such determination are paid out
under the terms of the Plan (or until death, if earlier).

    2.   Election to Participate by Eligible Executives and Deferral Election.
         --------------------------------------------------------------------
Each Eligible Executive may become a Participant in the Plan by electing to
defer Compensation in accordance with the terms of this Plan. However, no
Eligible Executive shall defer any Compensation under this Plan for the first
Plan Year in which the Eligible Executive becomes eligible to make deferrals
under this Plan unless his "Basic Contributions" under the PSIP made with
respect to Compensation earned before November 1 of the Plan Year are limited by
Code Sections 402(g) or 401(a)(17) or are reduced due to deferral of
Compensation under DCAP II. If the Eligible Executive's "Basic Contributions"
under the PSIP are not so limited by November 1 of the first Plan Year in which
the Eligible Executive becomes eligible to elect deferrals under this Plan, then
the Eligible Executive's deferral election for that Plan Year shall be void. An

                                                                          Page 1
<PAGE>

election to defer shall be in writing and shall be made at the time and in the
form specified by the Administrator. As a condition of electing to defer
Compensation under this Plan for a Plan Year, the Eligible Executive shall agree
not to change (either by increasing or decreasing) the rate at which the
Eligible Executive's compensation is reduced under Section III(2) of the PSIP to
make "Basic Contributions" under PSIP. On electing to defer Compensation under
this Plan, the Eligible Executive shall be deemed to accept all other terms and
conditions of this Plan.

    All elections to defer amounts under this Plan shall be irrevocable and
shall be made pursuant to an election executed and filed with the Administrator
before the amounts so deferred are earned. Once such an election is made, the
Eligible Executive may alter the timing of receipt of amounts deferred under the
Plan, provided that such alteration is made at least one year prior to the
earliest date the Eligible Executive could have received distribution of such
amounts under a previous election and does not provide for the receipt of such
amounts earlier than one year from the date of the alteration. All elections to
defer 1989 Compensation shall apply only to Compensation earned after the
election is filed with the Administrator and shall be executed and filed with
the Administrator no later than July 30, 1989. An election to defer Compensation
earned in later Years shall be made prior to the beginning of any such Year.
However, if an executive becomes an Eligible Executive after the beginning of a
Year, he may make an election to defer Compensation for that Year no later than
30 days after the date he becomes an Eligible Executive, and such election shall
apply only to Compensation earned after the election is filed with the
Administrator.

    3.   Relation to Other Plans.
         -----------------------

         (a) DCAP and DCAP II.  An Eligible Executive may participate in this
             ----------------
Plan and may also participate in the McKesson HBOC, Inc. Deferred Compensation
Administration Plan ("DCAP") and the McKesson HBOC, Inc. Deferred Compensation
Administration Plan II ("DCAP II").  However, no amounts may be deferred under
this Plan which have been deferred under the DCAP or DCAP II or any other plan
of the Company.

         (b) Other Plans.  For all other benefit programs maintained by the
             -----------
Company, amounts deferred by an Eligible Executive under this Plan shall, to the
extent relevant, be treated in the same manner as amounts deferred under the
DCAP and DCAP II, including, but not limited to, the definition of "Average
Final Compensation" under the Executive Benefit Retirement Plan.

D.  AMOUNTS OF DEFERRAL
    -------------------

    1.   PSIP Supplement.  This Plan allows an Eligible Executive to defer
         ---------------
Compensation, and receive credit for a Company Match, to the extent that such
deferrals (and corresponding Company Match) cannot be made under the PSIP
because of the limitations in Code Section 402(g) (limiting annual elective
deferrals under the PSIP to $7,000, as adjusted from time to time under the
Code), Code Section 401(a)(17) (limiting the amount of annual compensation to be
taken into account under the PSIP to $150,000, as adjusted from time to time
under the Code), or

                                                                          Page 2
<PAGE>

to the extent such deferrals cannot be made under the PSIP because of the
Eligible Executive's participation in DCAP II.

    2.   Amount of Deferrals.  As illustrated in Appendix A, an Eligible
         -------------------
Executive may elect to defer under this Plan up to an amount equal to (a) minus
(b), where:

         (a) is the maximum rate of deferral for "Basic Contributions" under the
PSIP multiplied by the Eligible Executive's Compensation, and

         (b) is the maximum amount that the Eligible Executive is able to defer
as a "Basic Contribution" under the PSIP, taking into account the limits of Code
Sections 402(g) and 401(a)(17) and the exclusion of Compensation deferred under
DCAP II.

E.  COMPANY MATCH
    -------------

    1.   Eligibility for Match.
         ---------------------

         (a) For any Year, a Company Match shall be credited only to the
Accounts of Eligible Executives who actually defer Compensation under this Plan
for such Year and who are employed by the Company on March 31 following such
Year.

         (b) The requirement of employment on March 31 shall not apply to any
Eligible Executive who terminates his employment with the Company (i) on or
after attaining age 55 and completing ten "Years of Service" under the PSIP,
(ii) due to retirement under the terms of the McKesson HBOC, Inc. Retirement
Plan, (iii) on or after attaining age 65, or (iv) due to permanent and total
disability as determined under the PSIP.  In this case, any Company Match for
the year of such Eligible Executive's termination of employment shall not be
credited to an Account hereunder but shall be paid (to the extent vested) in a
single sum to him or his beneficiaries as soon as practicable after the amount
of that match is determined by the Company.

         (c) Amount of Match.  The amount of the Company Match credited to the
             ---------------
Account of an Eligible Executive who is a Participant for any Year shall be a
percentage of the Eligible Executive's deferrals under this Plan for the Year.
This percentage shall be the same percentage as the "Matching Employer
Contribution" (as defined in the PSIP) percentage that would have been credited
to the Eligible Executive's PSIP account if his deferrals under this Plan had
been made under the PSIP.  In determining this amount, the Administrator shall
take into account, as illustrated in example 3 in Appendix A, the different
"Matching Employer Contribution" rates that may apply under PSIP during a Plan
Year.

F.  PAYMENT OF DEFERRED COMPENSATION
    --------------------------------

    1.   Book Account and Interest Credit.  Both Compensation deferred by a
         --------------------------------
Participant and any Company Match for the benefit of a Participant shall be
credited to a separate bookkeeping account maintained for such Participant (the
"Account"). Earnings shall be credited

                                                                          Page 3
<PAGE>

to each Account (both on the Participant's deferrals and on any Company Match
credited to his Account hereunder) at a rate equal to the amount earned during
that same period by amounts invested under the PSIP's Guaranteed Principal and
Interest investment option. Interest shall be credited to each Account as of the
end of each month.

    2.    Vesting.
          -------

          (a)  A Participant shall be 100% vested at all times in the value of
his elective deferrals and earnings thereon credited to his Account.

          (b)  A Participant shall vest in the amounts of Company Match and
earnings thereon credited to his Account at the same time and in the same manner
as if these amounts were "Matching Employer Contributions" under the PSIP and if
the rules of the PSIP concerning vesting applied to such amounts. For this
purpose, any Company Match shall be deemed to be credited to an Account as of
March 31 with respect to which such Company Match is determined. Any amounts
that would be forfeited under the rules of the PSIP applicable to "Matching
Employer Contributions" under that plan shall be forfeited hereunder. Any
forfeiture under this Plan of any portion of the Company Match credited to a
Participant's Account shall eliminate any obligation of the Company to pay the
forfeited amount hereunder.

    3.    Election of Methods of Payment.  A Participant shall elect in writing,
          ------------------------------
and file with the Administrator, a method of payment of benefits under this Plan
from the following methods based upon the nature of the Payment Event.
Subsequent elections by the Participant to change the method of payment shall
supersede all prior elections and shall apply to the Participant's entire
Account.

          (a)  If the Payment Event is due to the Participant's retirement,
permanent and total disability as defined under the PSIP, or because the
Participant is an Employee of a subsidiary that ceases to be a Company, the
Participant may choose one of the following payment methods:

               (i)  Payment of the vested amounts credited to the Participant's
Account in any specified number of approximately equal annual installments, not
in excess of the number of whole years remaining of the Participant's life
expectancy, determined as of his or her Payment Event and based upon the
mortality tables then in use under the McKesson HBOC, Inc. Retirement Plan, the
first installment to be paid at a designated interval following the Payment
Event.

               (ii) Payment of the vested amounts credited to the Participant's
Account in a single lump sum upon the occurrence of the Payment Event.

          (b)  If the Payment Event occurs as a result of the termination of the
Participant's employment with the Company, and such termination is not due to
the Participant's death or one of the Payment Events described above, payment of
the vested amounts credited to the

                                                                          Page 4
<PAGE>

Participant's Account shall be made in a single lump sum upon the occurrence of
the Payment Event.

               (If any Company Match is payable under Section E.1.b. hereunder,
that amount may be paid separately and at a later date as provided in such
section.)

    4.   Date Payment Occurs.  Payment shall be made as soon as practicable
         -------------------
after the earliest Payment Event occurs.

G.  BENEFITS ON DEATH
    -----------------

    1.   Death Prior to Distribution.  If a Participant dies before distribution
         ---------------------------
of the vested amounts credited to his or her Account, such distribution shall be
paid to his or her Beneficiary in one of the following forms of benefit, as
elected by the Participant.

         (a) in a single lump sum as soon as practicable after the death of the
Participant;

         (b) in a specified number of approximately equal annual installments,
not in excess of ten (10) annual installments.

    2.   Death After Distribution Has Begun.  If a Participant has elected to
         ----------------------------------
receive the vested amounts credited to his or her account in installments, and
dies after payment of such installments has begun, the Beneficiary designated by
the Participant shall receive any remaining installments on an annual basis, in
the same manner as the Participant would have received the installments.

    3.   Designation of Beneficiary.  A Participant may designate any person or
         --------------------------
entity as his or her Beneficiary, but may not designate more than one person or
any person that is not a natural person without the approval of the
Administrator. Designation shall be in writing and shall become effective only
when filed with (and, if appropriate, approved by) the Administrator. Such
filing must occur before the Participant's death. A Participant may change the
Beneficiary, from time to time, by filing a new written designation with (and,
if appropriate, approved by) the Administrator. If the Participant is married,
any Beneficiary designation which does not designate the Participant's spouse to
receive at least one-half of the Participant's Account shall only become
effective when approved in writing by the Participant's spouse.

         If the Participant fails to effectively designate a Beneficiary in
accordance with the Administrator's procedures or the person designated by the
Participant is not living at the time the distribution is to be made, then his
or her Beneficiary shall be his beneficiary under the PSIP.

H.  SOURCE OF PAYMENT
    -----------------

    Amounts paid under this Plan shall be paid from the general funds of the
Company, and each Participant and his or her Beneficiaries shall be no more than
unsecured general creditors of the Company with no special or prior right to any
assets of the Company for payment of any

                                                                          Page 5
<PAGE>

obligations hereunder. Nothing contained in this Plan shall be deemed to create
a trust of any kind for the benefit of any Participant or Beneficiary, or create
any fiduciary relationship between the Company and any Participant or
Beneficiary with respect to any assets of the Company.

I.  MISCELLANEOUS
    -------------

    1.   Withholding.  Each Participant and Beneficiary shall make appropriate
         -----------
arrangements with the Company for the satisfaction of any federal, state, or
local income tax withholding requirements and Social Security or other
employment tax requirements applicable to the payment of benefits under this
Plan. If no other arrangements are made, the Company may provide, at its
discretion, for such withholding and tax payments as may be required.

    2.   No Assignment.  The benefits provided under this Plan may not be
         -------------
alienated, assigned, transferred, pledged, or hypothecated by any person, at any
time. These benefits shall be exempt from the claims of creditors or other
claimants and from all orders, decrees, levies, garnishments or executions.

    3.   Applicable Law; Severability.  The Plan hereby created shall be
         ----------------------------
construed, administered, and governed in all respects in accordance with ERISA
and the laws of the State of California to the extent that the latter are not
preempted by ERISA. If any provision of this instrument shall be held by a court
of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining
provisions hereunder shall continue to be effective.

    4.   No Right to Continued Employment, Etc.   Neither the establishment or
         --------------------------------------
maintenance of the Plan nor the crediting of any amount to any Participant's
Account, nor the designation of an executive as an Eligible Executive, shall
confer upon any individual any right to be continued as an employee of the
Company or shall affect the right of the Company to terminate any executive's
employment or change any terms of his employment at any time.

J.  ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN
    --------------------------

    1.   In General.  The Plan Administrator shall be the Senior Vice President,
         ----------
Human Resources and Administration of the Company. If the Senior Vice President,
Human Resources and Administration is a Participant, any discretionary action
taken as Administrator which directly affects him or her as a Participant shall
be specifically approved by the Compensation Committee. The Compensation
Committee shall have authority and responsibility to interpret the Plan and
shall adopt such rules and regulations for carrying out the Plan as it may deem
necessary or appropriate. Decisions of the Compensation Committee shall be final
and binding on all parties who have or claim any interest in the Plan.

                                  APPENDIX A
                                  ----------

                       Examples of Deferrals Under Plan
                       --------------------------------


The following illustrate the extent to which a Participant could make deferrals
under this Plan. The examples assume that the applicable deferral limit under
Section 402(g) of the Code is $7,000 and that the applicable compensation limit
under section 401(a)(17) of the Code is $150,000.

1.  Example 1
    ---------

    E's Compensation for the Plan Year is $150,000.  At all times during the
Plan Year E has elected to make Basic Contributions under PSIP at the rate of 6%
of his Compensation.  Because of section 402(g) of the Code, E may only defer
$7,000 under PSIP during the Plan Year instead of $9,000 (i.e., .06 X $150,000).
Accordingly, E may defer $2,000 for the Plan Year under the Plan (i.e., $9,000 -
$7,000).

    The Matching Contribution under PSIP for the PSIP plan year in which E's
deferrals are made under this Plan is 50%.   Accordingly, E's Account will be
credited with a Company Contribution of $1,000 (i.e., .50 X $2,000).

2.  Example 2
    ---------

    E's Compensation is $250,000. E elects to make Basic Contributions under
PSIP at the rate of 2% of his Compensation. Section 402(g) of the Code would not
limit E's Basic Contributions (2% of $250,000 equals $5,000), even in the
absence of any compensation limit. However, because section 401(a)(17) of the
Code limits the amount of E's compensation which may be considered by PSIP to
$150,000, E's Basic Contributions for the year are limited to $3,000 (2% of
$150,000). Accordingly, E may defer $2,000 (2% of his Compensation in excess of
$150,000) into this Plan. This deferral will then be eligible for a Company
Match based on the PSIP's "Matching Employer Contribution" for the PSIP plan
year ending March 31.

3.  Example 3
    ---------

    In December, 1990, E elects to defer 6% of his Compensation under this Plan,
less the maximum available under PSIP. For the period from January 1 to March
31, 1991, E earns $100,000 in Compensation. For the PSIP plan year ending on
March 31, 1991, E has elected to make Basic Contributions under PSIP at a rate
of 5% of his Compensation and E defers $5,000 (.05 X $100,000) under the PSIP
for that period. Because the 402(g) limits apply on a calendar year basis, E
defers nothing under this Plan for this period.

                                                                          Page 9
<PAGE>

    From April 1 through December 31, 1991, E earns $300,000 in Compensation.
Because of section 402(g), only $2,000 in Basic Contributions are contributed to
PSIP for E during this period.

    Because of E's prior irrevocable election, E defers $15,600 under this Plan
(i.e., 6% of $260,000). ($260,000 is the difference between E's $400,000
compensation and $140,000 which is the Compensation level at which the $7,000
402(g) limit is reached deferring at a rate of 5% under PSIP.)

    For the PSIP plan year ending March 31, 1991, the "Matching Employer
Contribution" percentage under PSIP is 60% but that percentage decreases to 50%
for the PSIP plan year ending March 31, 1992.

    Because all $15,600 of E's deferrals under this Plan for the Plan Year
ending December 31, 1991 were made with respect to Compensation earned after
March 31, 1991, the Company Match is based on the PSIP's "Matching Employer
Contribution" percentages for the PSIP plan year ending March 31, 1992.
Accordingly, the Company Match is $7,800 (i.e., .50 X $15,600).

Example 4
- ---------

    E's Compensation for the Plan Year is $96,000, including a bonus of $16,000.
E is making Basic Contributions to PSIP at a rate of 6%. As a participant in
DCAP II, E elects to defer $10,000 of his bonus. Because the $10,000 does not
meet the definition of Compensation under the PSIP, E is prevented from
deferring $600 (6% of $10,000) into the PSIP. Therefore, that $600 is
automatically deferred into this Plan. This deferral will then be eligible for a
Company Match based on the PSIP's "Matching Employer Contribution" percentage
for the PSIP Plan Year ending March 31.

                                                                         Page 10

                              McKESSON HBOC, INC.
               DEFERRED COMPENSATION ADMINISTRATION PLAN (DCAP)
               ------------------------------------------------


                        Amended as of  January 27, 1999
                        -------------------------------


     The purpose of this Plan is to provide a select group of executives
employed by McKesson HBOC, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("McKessonHBOC"), and
its subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company"), and McKessonHBOC directors, an
opportunity to defer for later payment amounts earned as compensation.


1.   PARTICIPATION
     -------------

     a.   Employees.  An employee of the Company is eligible to be a Participant
          ---------
in this Plan for any year if (i) it is reasonably anticipated by the Company
that he or she will receive an award under a Company incentive plan of at least
$5,000, or (ii) he or she is entitled to defer compensation from the Company
pursuant to the terms of an employment contract or incentive plan.  An eligible
employee shall become a "Participant" by making an irrevocable election in
writing to participate in this Plan or, if such employment contract or incentive
plan provides for automatic participation in this Plan, by making an irrevocable
election to defer compensation.

     b.   Directors.  Each member of the Board of Directors of McKessonHBOC may
          ---------
participate in this Plan in accordance with the terms of the McKessonHBOC
Directors' Deferred Compensation Plan ("DDCP").


2.   COMPENSATION THAT MAY BE DEFERRED
     ---------------------------------

     a.   Employees.
          ---------

          (i)  Base Salary.  Each employee who participates in this Plan may
               -----------
elect to defer up to fifty percent (50%) of his or her base salary earned from
the Company in any calendar year. For calendar year 1987, the maximum amount
that may be deferred under this provision is the lesser of fifty percent (50%)
of the employee's 1987 base salary or the amount earned by the employee from the
Company on and after September 1, 1987. In any event, the Company may limit
deferrals as is necessary or appropriate to provide sufficient current
compensation to cover taxes, benefit payments and other necessary or appropriate
deductions.

          (ii) Incentive Plans.  The Company maintains and administers various
               ---------------
incentive plans for its executives and key employees.  Pursuant to the terms of
some of these

                                                                          Page 1
<PAGE>

plans or an employment contract with the Company, a participating employee may
make an irrevocable election to have the incentive compensation awarded to him
paid on a deferred basis.

     b.   Directors.  A member of the Board of Directors of McKessonHBOC
          ---------
entitled to compensation for service as a director may make an irrevocable
election to defer compensation in accordance with the terms of the DDCP. To the
extent that the terms of the DDCP conflict with the terms of this Plan, the DDCP
shall govern with respect to all amounts deferred by any such Director.


3.   ELECTION TO DEFER
     -----------------

     a.   Time and Manner of Election; Election is Irrevocable.  Each
          ----------------------------------------------------
Participant shall make an election to defer compensation under this Plan at the
time and in the manner prescribed by the Management Incentive Plan Committee.
All elections to defer compensation under this Plan shall be irrevocable and
shall be made prior to the year in which the compensation is earned.  Once an
election is made, the Participant may alter the timing of receipt of such
deferred compensation, provided that such alteration is made at least one year
prior to the earliest date the Participant could have received distribution of
the deferred compensation under a previous election and does not provide for the
receipt of such amounts earlier than one year from the date of the alteration.
An election to defer base salary in 1987, however, shall be made prior to
September 1, 1987, which is the first date with respect to which base salary may
be deferred under this Plan.

     b.   $5,000 Minimum.  The minimum amount that a Participant may defer under
          --------------
this Plan for any one calendar year is $5,000.

     c.   No New Deferrals After January 1, 1994.  Notwithstanding paragraphs a.
          --------------------------------------
and b., above, no new deferrals shall be made under this Plan after January 1,
1994.


4.   RETAINED ACCOUNT OR STOCK ACCOUNT
     ---------------------------------

     a.   Election of Account.  Each Participant's deferred compensation shall
          -------------------
be credited to a separate bookkeeping account of McKessonHBOC maintained for
such Participant (the "Account").  The Participant may elect that deferrals be
credited either to the "Retained Account" or the "Stock Account" as defined
below.  All such elections shall be irrevocable.

     b.   Retained Account.
          ----------------

          (i) The Retained Account shall accrue interest during each calendar
year equal to the median yield of all non-convertible debt issues coming to
market during the twelve-month period ending one month prior to the end of the
month in which the election instructions are issued in the prior fiscal year
from companies rated A (includes A- and A+), as reported by the Standard &
Poor's Monthly Bond Guides in its calendar of new offerings.  The

                                                                          Page 2
<PAGE>

rate of interest so determined shall be applied to each Participant's entire
Retained Account balance. The Retained Account balance shall be compounded at
the end of each calendar year by the annual rate of interest so determined.

          (ii)  Notwithstanding paragraph (i), above, beginning January 1, 1994,
all deferrals made by a Participant into his or her Retained Account after 1992
will earn interest at the same rate as deferrals to the McKesson HBOC, Inc.
Deferred Compensation Administration Plan II (DCAP II).

     c.   Stock Account.
          -------------

          (i)   The amount of stock credited to the Stock Account of the
Participant shall be determined by the number of shares of McKessonHBOC Common
Stock which could be purchased with the amount of the deferred compensation
using the closing price of McKessonHBOC Common Stock on the New York Stock
Exchange on the day coinciding with each date on which his or her deferred
compensation is credited to his or her Account. If the date of credit is not a
business day, then the closing price referred to in the prior sentence shall be
the closing price on the business day immediately preceding the date of credit.

          (ii)  Under this bookkeeping arrangement, no shares of McKessonHBOC
Common Stock shall be issued to or held in any Account.

          (iii) The total number of shares of McKessonHBOC Common Stock which
may be credited during any single year to the Account of a Participant who is a
non-employee Director shall be the lesser of (I) the number of shares which
could be purchased with the aggregate amount of compensation eligible for
deferral under this Plan which such Participant elects to defer for such year,
or (II) the amount of one thousand (1,000) shares. The total number of shares of
McKessonHBOC Common Stock which may be credited during any single year to the
Account of a Participant who is an employee shall be the number of shares which
could be purchased with the aggregate amount of compensation eligible for
deferral under this Plan which such Participant elects to defer for such year,
provided that such number, when combined with all other shares of McKessonHBOC
Common Stock theretofore credited to the Participant's Account under this Plan,
shall not exceed one percent (1%) of the then outstanding shares of McKessonHBOC
Common Stock. For purposes of this subparagraph (iii), the calculation of the
number of shares which a Participant could purchase shall be determined in
accordance with subparagraph (i) above.


5.   DISTRIBUTION OF AMOUNTS DEFERRED UNDER THE PLAN
     -----------------------------------------------

     a.   Irrevocable Election Concerning Distribution.  Amounts deferred under
          --------------------------------------------
the Plan by eligible Directors shall be distributed as specified by the DDCP.
Amounts deferred under the Plan by other eligible Participants shall be
distributed in whichever of the following forms was irrevocably elected by the
Participant at the time that he or she made an irrevocable

                                                                          Page 3
<PAGE>

election to defer compensation; provided, however, that any such distribution
must commence no later than the January following the year in which the
Participant reaches age 72.

          (i)   Installments Beginning Currently.  Payment of the funds in any
                --------------------------------
number of approximately equal annual installments not in excess of ten
designated by the Participant, the first installment to be paid at the time that
the award is made, if deferral is under an incentive plan or on the January 1
following the year of deferral, if deferral is of base salary.

          (ii)  Installments Beginning in Designated Year.  Payment of the funds
                -----------------------------------------
in any number of approximately equal annual installments not in excess of ten
designated by the Participant, the first installment to be paid in the year
designated by the Participant.

          (iii) Installments Beginning on Retirement, Disability or Death.
                ---------------------------------------------------------
Payment of the funds in any number of approximately equal annual installments
not in excess of ten designated by the Participant, the first installment to be
paid at an interval following the Participant's Retirement, disability or death,
whichever is the first to occur, designated by the Participant. For purposes of
this subparagraph, Retirement shall mean the Participant's termination of
employment after his or her age plus years of service equals 65.

          (iv)  Lump Sum.  Payment of the funds in one lump sum in the year
                --------
designated by the Participant.

     b.   Payment Upon Termination of Employment.  If a Participant's employment
          --------------------------------------
with the Company terminates before Retirement (as defined in 5.a.(iii)), the
Participant shall receive a distribution of the entire amount credited to his or
her Account in the January following such termination of employment.

     c.   Hardship Distributions.  The Management Incentive Plan Committee may
          ----------------------
in its sole discretion direct payment to a Participant of all or of any portion
of any amounts deferred, notwithstanding an election under Subparagraphs (i),
(ii), (iii) and (iv) of Paragraph (a) above at any time that it determines that
such Participant has suffered an event of undue hardship which causes an
emergency condition in his financial affairs.

     d.   Payment to Beneficiary.  If a Participant dies after payments from his
          ----------------------
or her Account have begun, his or her beneficiary or beneficiaries shall
continue to receive payments under this Plan in the same form and at the same
time as they would have been paid had the Participant survived. If a Participant
dies before payments from his or her Account have begun, the amounts credited to
the Account shall be paid to the designated beneficiary or beneficiaries at the
time and in the manner previously irrevocably elected by the Participant.
Benefits shall be paid in one of the forms described in section 5(a)(i), (ii) or
(iv) of this Plan. Benefits shall be paid at the time elected by the Participant
and as allowed by the Management Incentive Plan Committee of McKessonHBOC (the
"Committee").

          A Participant may designate any person or entity as his or her
Beneficiary. Designation shall be in writing and shall become effective only
when filed with the Committee.

                                                                          Page 4
<PAGE>

Such filing must occur before the Participant's death. A Participant may change
the Beneficiary, from time to time, by filing a new written designation with the
Committee. If the Participant is married any Beneficiary designation which does
not designate the Participant's spouse to receive at least one-half of the
Participant's Account shall only become effective when approved in writing by
the Participant's spouse.

     e.   Time of Payment. Payments of deferred funds shall be made in the
          ---------------
first two weeks of January each year except as otherwise irrevocably elected at
the time of election of deferral.

     f.   Method of Payment. Amounts deferred and credited to the Retained
          -----------------
Account shall be paid in cash. Amounts deferred and credited to the Stock
Account shall be paid in shares of McKessonHBOC Common Stock.

     g.   Change in Control.  For purposes of this Plan, a Change in Control of
          -----------------
the Company shall be deemed to have occurred if any of the events set forth in
any one of the following paragraphs shall occur:

          (i)   any "person" (as defined in section 3(a)(9) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") and as such term is
modified in sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act), excluding the Company
or any of its subsidiaries, a trustee or any fiduciary holding securities under
an employee benefit plan of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, an
underwriter temporarily holding securities pursuant to an offering of such
securities or a corporation owned, directly or indirectly, by stockholders of
the Company in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of the
Company, is or becomes the "beneficial owner" (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under
the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company
representing 30% or more of the combined voting power of the Company's then
outstanding securities; or

          (ii)  during any period of not more than two consecutive years,
individuals who at the beginning of such period constitute the Board and any new
director (other than a director designated by a Person who has entered into an
agreement with the Company to effect a transaction described in clause (i),
(iii) or (iv) or of this paragraph) whose election by the Board or nomination
for election by the Company's stockholders was approved by a vote of at least
two-thirds (2/3) of the directors then still in office who either were directors
at the beginning of the period or whose election or nomination for election was
previously so approved, cease for any reason to constitute a majority thereof;
or

          (iii) the shareholders of the Company approve a merger or
consolidation of the Company with any other corporation, other than (I) a merger
or consolidation which would result in the voting securities of the Company
outstanding immediately prior thereto continuing to represent (either by
remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the
surviving entity), in combination with the ownership of any trustee or other
fiduciary holding securities under an employee benefit plan of the Company, at
least 50% of the combined voting

                                                                          Page 5
<PAGE>

power of the voting securities of the Company or such surviving entity
outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation, or (II) a merger or
consolidation effected to implement a recapitalization of the Company (or
similar transaction) in which no person acquires more than 50% of the combined
voting power of the Company's then outstanding securities; or

          (iv) the shareholders of the Company approve a plan of complete
liquidation of the Company or an agreement for the sale or disposition by the
Company of all or substantially all of the Company's assets.

          Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Change in Control shall be deemed to
have occurred if there is consummated any transaction or series of integrated
transactions immediately following which the holders of the Company's Common
Stock immediately prior to such transaction or series of transactions continue
to have the same proportionate ownership in an entity which owns all or
substantially all of the assets of the Company immediately prior to such
transaction or series of transactions.

          With respect to deferrals made prior to January 1, 1994, deferred
funds will be distributed upon a Change in Control, if the Participant has so
elected.

6.   COMPANY PROPERTY
     ----------------

     All amounts credited to the Retained Account and the Stock Account shall be
the property solely of the Company. Each Participant and beneficiary shall be
solely an unsecured general creditor of the Company with respect to amounts
credited to his or her Retained Account or Stock Account and shall have no
special or prior right to any stock or assets for payment of any obligations
hereunder.

7.   NON-ASSIGNABLE
     --------------

     A Participant's rights in the Account shall be non-assignable by him or
her, except that payments may be made to his or her estate or beneficiaries
designated in accordance with the terms of this Plan, his or her employment
contract, the applicable incentive plan or the DDCP.


8.   ADMINISTRATION
     --------------

     This Plan shall be administered by the Committee. The Committee shall have
full power and authority to interpret the provisions and supervise the
administration of this Plan and to take all action in connection therewith as it

                              McKESSON HBOC, INC.
                 DEFERRED COMPENSATION ADMINISTRATION PLAN II
                 --------------------------------------------
                       (Amended as of January 27, 1999)


A.   PURPOSE
     -------

     This Plan is established to further enhance the Company's ability to
attract and retain executive personnel and Directors. The Plan replaces and
supersedes the Directors' Deferred Compensation Plan, the Management Deferred
Compensation Plan, the Deferred Compensation Administration Plan, and the PCS,
Inc. Optional Deferred Compensation Administration Plan.

B.   ERISA PLAN
     ----------

     This Plan is an unfunded deferred compensation program for a select group
of management employees and Directors of the Company. The Plan therefore is
covered by Title I of ERISA except that it is exempt from Parts 2, 3 and 4 of
Title I of ERISA.

C.   PARTICIPATION
     -------------

     1.   Eligibility to Participate
          --------------------------

          a.   Eligible Executives.  The Administrator may, at its discretion,
               -------------------
and at any time, and from time to time, select Company executives who may elect
to participate in this Plan ("Eligible Executives").  Selection of Eligible
Executives may be evidenced by the terms of the executive's employment contract
with the Company, or by inclusion among the persons or classes of persons
specified by the Administrator.

          The Administrator may, at its discretion, and at any time, and from
time to time, designate additional Eligible Executives and/or provide that
executives previously designated are no longer Eligible Executives.  If the
Administrator determines that an executive is no longer an Eligible Executive,
he or she shall remain a Participant in the Plan until all amounts credited to
his or her Account prior to such determination are paid out under the terms of
the Plan (or until death, if earlier).

          b.   Eligible Directors.  Each Director who is not a Company employee
               ------------------
may participate in this Plan ("Eligible Directors").

     2.   Election to Participate.  An Eligible Executive or an Eligible
          -----------------------
Director may become a Participant in the Plan by electing to defer compensation
in accordance with the terms of this Plan. An election to defer shall be in
writing, shall be irrevocable and shall be made at the time and in the form
specified by the Administrator. On electing to defer compensation under this
Plan, the Participant shall be deemed to accept all of the terms and conditions
of this Plan. All elections to defer amounts under

                                                                          Page 1
<PAGE>

this Plan shall be made pursuant to an election executed and filed with the
Administrator before the amounts so deferred are earned.

     3.   Notification of Participants. The Administrator shall annually notify
          ----------------------------
each Eligible Executive and each Eligible Director that he or she may
participate in the Plan for the next Year. Such notice shall also set forth the
Declared Rate for the next Year.

     4.   Relation to Other Plans.
          -----------------------

          a.   Participation in Other Plans.  An Eligible Executive or a
               ----------------------------
Director may participate in this Plan and may also participate in any other
benefit plan of the Company in effect from time to time for which he or she is
eligible, unless the other plan may otherwise exclude participation on the basis
of eligibility for, or participation in, this Plan. No amounts may be deferred
under this Plan which have been deferred under any other plan of the Company.
Deferrals under this Plan may result in a reduction of benefits payable under
the Social Security Act, the Company's Retirement Plan and the Company's Profit-
Sharing Investment Plan.

          b.   Automatic Deferral to Supplemental PSIP. Subject to the last
               ---------------------------------------
sentence of Section D.2. below, an Eligible Executive who makes an election to
defer compensation under this Plan shall have an additional amount automatically
deferred from his or her remaining compensation. The amount of such additional
deferral will be an amount equal to (x) the amount deferred by the Eligible
Executive into the Plan, multiplied by (y) the percentage rate of the Eligible
Executive's deferrals into the McKesson HBOC, Inc. Profit-Sharing Investment
Plan ("PSIP"), as in effect at the beginning of each Year. The additional
deferrals will be credited to the Eligible Executive's account in the McKesson
HBOC, Inc. Supplemental PSIP and governed by the terms of that plan.

D.   AMOUNTS OF DEFERRAL
     -------------------

     1.   Minimum Deferral.  The minimum amount that an Eligible Executive may
          ----------------
defer under this Plan for any Year is $5,000 of base salary, or $5,000 of any
annual bonuses and $5,000 of any Long-Term Incentive Plan award. The minimum
amount of compensation that an Eligible Director may defer for any Year is
$5,000.

     2.   Maximum Deferral for Eligible Executives. The maximum amount of
          ----------------------------------------
compensation which an Eligible Executive may defer under this Plan for any Year
is (i) eighty percent (80%) of the amount of such Eligible Executive's base
salary for such Year, and (ii) one hundred percent (100%) of any annual bonus
award and/or any Long-Term Incentive Plan Award determined and payable to him or
her in such Year. Notwithstanding these limits, deferrals may be reduced by the
Company to leave sufficient remaining compensation legally required for taxes
and other authorized deductions, including, but not limited to, those for
Company benefit programs.

     3.   Maximum Deferral for Eligible Directors.  The maximum amount of
          ---------------------------------------
compensation which an Eligible Director may defer under this Plan for any Year
is the amount of any annual retainer (other than the portion of the annual
retainer subject to Mandatory Deferral under the 1997 Non-Employee Directors'
Equity Compensation and Deferral Plan) and other fees from the Company earned by
him or her in any such Year.

                                                                          Page 2
<PAGE>

E.   PAYMENT OF DEFERRED COMPENSATION
     --------------------------------

     1.   Book Account and Interest Credit. Compensation deferred by a
          --------------------------------
Participant under the Plan shall be credited to a separate bookkeeping account
for such Participant (the "Account"). (Sub-Accounts may be established for each
Year for which the Participant elects to defer compensation.) Interest shall be
credited to each Account (including Sub-Accounts established thereunder) for
each Year at a rate equal to a rate declared by the Administrator acting in its
sole discretion after taking into account, among other things, the following
factors: the Company's cost of funds, corporate tax brackets, expected amount
and duration of deferrals, number and age of eligible Participants, expected
time and manner of payment of deferred amounts, and expected performance of
available fixed-rate insurance contracts covering the lives of Participants (the
"Declared Rate"). Each Account balance shall be compounded monthly at the
twelfth root of the annual Declared Rate of interest provided for under this
Plan. In the case of installment payments as provided in Section E.3. below,
interest shall be credited on all amounts remaining in a Participant's Account
until all amounts are paid out.

     2.   Length of Deferral.  An Eligible Executive or Eligible Director shall
          ------------------
elect in writing, and file with the Administrator, at the same time as such
Eligible Executive or Eligible Director makes any election to defer
compensation, the period of deferral with respect to such election, subject to
the minimum required period of deferral and the maximum permissible period of
deferral. The minimum required period of deferral is five years after the end of
the Year for which compensation is deferred. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
five-year minimum deferral period shall not apply to payments made as a result
of death, Disability, Retirement, pre-retirement termination, a Change in
Control or hardship. Payment must commence no later than the end of the maximum
period of deferral, which is the January following the year in which the
Eligible Executive reaches age 72 or, in the case of an Eligible Director, the
January after the Company's annual meeting of stockholders next following the
Eligible Director's 72nd birthday. Once such an election has been made, the
Eligible Executive or Eligible Director may alter the period of deferral,
provided that:

          a.   such alteration is made at least one year prior to the earliest
date the Participant could have received distribution of the amounts credited to
his or her Account under the earlier election, and

          b.   such alteration does not provide for the receipt of such amounts
earlier than one year from the date of the alteration, subject to the five-year
minimum deferral rule stated above.

     3.   Election of Methods of Payment.  A Participant shall elect in writing,
          ------------------------------
and file with the Administrator, at the same time as any election to defer
compensation, a method of payment of benefits under this Plan from the following
methods:

          a.   Payment of amounts credited to the Participant's Account in any
specified number of approximately equal annual installments (not in excess of
10), the first installment to be paid in January of the Year designated by the
Participant.

          b.   Payment of the amounts credited to the Participant's Account in
any specified number of approximately equal annual installments (not in excess
of ten), the first installment to be paid in January after the designated
interval following the earlier of Participant's Retirement or of the
determination disability.

                                                                          Page 3
<PAGE>

          c.   Payment of the amount credited to the Participant's Account in a
single sum.

     4.   Payments on Termination.
          -----------------------

          a.   Director Termination. If an Eligible Director ceases to be a
               --------------------
Director of the Company for any reason other than death, the entire
undistributed amount credited to his or her Account will be paid in the form
elected by the Participant, or, if no election has been made, in a lump sum in
the January of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the
Eligible Director ceased to be a Director.

          b.   Executive Termination.  If an Eligible Executive terminates
               ---------------------
employment with the Company for any reason other than Retirement, disability or
death, then, notwithstanding the election made by the Eligible Executive
pursuant to Sections E.2 and 3 above, the entire undistributed amount credited
to his or her Account will be paid in the form of a lump sum in the January of
the calendar year following the calendar year of termination of employment.

     5.   Payments on Death.
          -----------------

          a.   Death After Payments Have Begun.  If a Participant dies after
               -------------------------------
payments from his or her Account have begun, the remainder of the amounts
credited to the Participant's Account shall be paid to his or her Beneficiary at
the same time and in the same manner as they would have been paid had the
Participant survived.

          b.   Death Before Payments Have Begun.  If a Participant dies before
               --------------------------------
payments from his or her Account have begun, the amount credited to his or her
Account shall be paid to his or her Beneficiary at the time and in the manner
elected by the Participant. Such election shall be made in writing and filed
with the Administrator at the time of any election to defer compensation.
Benefits shall be paid in one of the methods specified in paragraphs a. and c.
of Section E.3. The Administrator, at his or her discretion, may distribute all
benefits to a Beneficiary in a single payment if the value of his or her Account
balance is less than $5,000.

     6.   Payments on Disability.  If the Administrator determines that a
          ----------------------
Participant has become Disabled, the entire undistributed amount credited to his
or her Account will be paid in the form and at the time elected by the
Participant, or, if no election has been made, in a lump sum as soon as
practicable after such determination is made.

     7.   Payments on Hardship.  The Administrator may in his or her sole
          --------------------
discretion direct payment to a Participant of all or of any portion of the
Participant's Account balance, notwithstanding an election under Section E.3.
above, at any time that he or she determines that such Participant has suffered
an event of undue hardship which causes an emergency condition in his or her
financial affairs.

     8.   Change in Control.  For purposes of this Plan, a Change in Control of
          -----------------
the Company shall be deemed to have occurred if any of the events set forth in
any of the following paragraphs shall occur:

          a.   any "person" (as defined in section 3(a)(9) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") and as such term is
modified in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act), excluding the Company
or any of its subsidiaries, a trustee or any fiduciary holding

                                                                          Page 4
<PAGE>

securities under an employee benefit plan of the Company or any of its
subsidiaries, an underwriter temporarily holding securities pursuant to an
offering of such securities or a corporation owned, directly or indirectly, by
stockholders of the Company in substantially the same proportions as their
ownership of the Company, is or becomes the "beneficial owner" (as defined in
Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the
Company representing 30% or more of the combined voting power of the Company's
then outstanding securities; or

          b.   during any period of not more than two consecutive years,
individuals who at the beginning of such period constitute the Board and any new
director (other than a director designated by a Person who has entered into an
agreement with the Company to effect a transaction described in clause a., c.,
or d. of this paragraph) whose election by the Board or nomination for election
by the Company's stockholders was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds
(2/3) of the directors then still in office who either were directors at the
beginning of the period or whose election or nomination for election was
previously so approved, cease for any reason to constitute a majority thereof;
or

          c.   the shareholders of the Company approve a merger or consolidation
of the Company with any other corporation, other than (I) a merger or
consolidation which would result in the voting securities of the Company
outstanding immediately prior thereto continuing to represent (either by
remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the
surviving entity), in combination with the ownership of any trustee or other
fiduciary holding securities under an employee benefit plan of the Company, at
least 50% of the combined voting power of the voting securities of the Company
or such surviving entity outstanding immediately after such merger or
consolidation, or (II) a merger or consolidation effected to implement a
recapitalization of the Company (or similar transaction) in which no person
acquires more than 50% of the combined voting power of the Company's then
outstanding securities; or

          d.   the shareholders of the Company approve a plan of complete
liquidation of the Company or an agreement for the sale or disposition by the
Company of all or substantially all of the Company's assets.

          Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Change in Control shall be deemed to
have occurred if there is consummated any transaction or series of integrated
transactions immediately following which the holders of the Company's Common
Stock immediately prior to such transaction or series of transactions continue
to have the same proportionate ownership in an entity which owns all or
substantially all of the assets of the Company immediately prior to such
transaction or series of transactions.

          With respect to deferrals made prior to January 1, 1994, deferred
funds will be distributed upon a Change in Control, if the Participant has so
elected.

     9.   Designation of Beneficiary.  A Participant may designate any person(s)
          --------------------------
or any entity as his or her Beneficiary. Designation shall be in writing and
shall become effective only when filed with the Administrator. Such filing must
occur before the Participant's death. A Participant may change the Beneficiary,
from time to time, by filing a new written designation with the Administrator.
If the Participant is married, any Beneficiary designation which does not
designate the Participant's spouse to receive at least one-half of the
Participant's Account shall only become effective when approved in writing by
the Participant's spouse.

                                                                          Page 5
<PAGE>

F.   SOURCE OF PAYMENT
     -----------------

     Amounts paid under this Plan shall be paid from the general funds of the
Company, and each Participant and his or her Beneficiaries shall be no more than
unsecured general creditors of the Company with no special or prior right to any
assets of the Company (whose claims may be subordinated to those of creditors of
Company subsidiaries) for payment of any obligations hereunder. Nothing
contained in this Plan shall be deemed to create a trust of any kind for the
benefit of any Participant or Beneficiary, or create any fiduciary relationship
between the Company and any Participant or Beneficiary with respect to any
assets of the Company.

G.   MISCELLANEOUS
     -------------

     1.   Withholding.  Each Participant and Beneficiary shall make appropriate
          -----------
arrangements with the Company for the satisfaction of any federal, state or
local income tax withholding requirements and Social Security or other
employment tax requirements applicable to the payment of benefits under this
Plan.  If no other arrangements are made, the Company may provide, at its
discretion, for such withholding and tax payments as may be required.

     2.   No Assignment.  The benefits provided under this Plan may not be
          -------------

time. These benefits shall be exempt from the claims of creditors or other
claimants and from all orders, decrees, levies, garnishments or executions.

                     -------------------------------------
                       (Amended as of January 27, 1999)



A.   PURPOSE
     -------

     This Plan is established to allow those Company executives and directors
who hold exercisable stock options granted under the McKesson Corporation 1978
Stock Option Plan (the "1978 Plan") to defer the cash portion of the gain (the
"Cash Gain") the executive or director realizes from his or her exercisable
stock options in connection with the restructuring of McKesson Corporation
resulting in the sale of PCS Health Systems, Inc. to Eli Lilly and Company (the
"Transaction").


B.   ERISA PLAN
     ----------

     This Plan is an unfunded deferred compensation program for a select group
of management employees and Directors of the Company.  The Plan therefore is
covered by Title I of ERISA except that it is exempt from Parts 2, 3 and 4 of
Title I of ERISA.


C.   PARTICIPATION
     -------------

     1.   Eligibility to Participate
          --------------------------

          a.   Eligible Executives.  Company executives who (i) are actively
               -------------------
employed, and (ii) hold exercisable stock options granted under the 1978 Plan as
of the date the Transaction closes may elect to participate in this Plan
("Eligible Executives").

          b.   Eligible Directors.  Each director of the Company who (i) is not
               ------------------
a Company employee and (ii) holds exercisable stock options granted under the
1978 Plan as of the date the Transaction closes may participate in this Plan
("Eligible Directors").

     2.   Election to Participate.  An Eligible Executive or an Eligible
          -----------------------
Director may become a Participant in the Plan by electing to defer the Cash Gain
in accordance with the terms of this Plan.  An election to defer shall be in
writing, shall be irrevocable and shall be made at the time and in the form
specified by the Administrator.  On electing to defer amounts under this Plan,
the Participant shall be deemed to accept all of the terms and conditions of
this Plan.  All elections to defer under this Plan shall be made pursuant to an
election executed and filed with the Administrator before the amounts so
deferred are earned.  Other than to avoid the expiration

                                                                          Page 1
<PAGE>

of an option in accordance with its terms, a Participant shall not exercise any
option with respect to which he or she has made a deferral election.

     3.   Relation to Other Plans.  An Eligible Executive or a Director may
          -----------------------
participate in this Plan and may also participate in any other benefit plan of
the Company in effect from time to time for which he or she is eligible, unless
the other plan may otherwise exclude participation on the basis of eligibility
for, or participation in, this Plan.  No amounts may be deferred under this Plan
which have been deferred under any other plan of the Company.


D.   AMOUNTS OF DEFERRAL
     -------------------

     1.   Minimum Deferral.  The minimum amount that an Eligible Executive or
          ----------------
Eligible Director may defer under this Plan is $5,000 of the Cash Gain realized
upon the completion of the Transaction.

     2.   Maximum Deferral.  The maximum amount of compensation which an
          ----------------
Eligible Executive or an Eligible Director may defer under this Plan for any
Year is one hundred percent (100%) of the Cash Gain realized upon the completion
of the Transaction.  Notwithstanding these limits, deferrals may be reduced by
the Company to leave sufficient remaining amounts legally required for taxes and
other authorized deductions.  In addition, the amount of deferrals allowed to
any Participant may be subject to a limit determined by the Plan Administrator.


E.   PAYMENT OF DEFERRED COMPENSATION
     --------------------------------

     1.   Book Account and Interest Credit.  Any Cash Gain deferred by a
          --------------------------------
Participant under the Plan shall be credited to a separate bookkeeping account
for such Participant (the "Account"). For the remainder of Calendar Year 1994,
interest shall be credited to each Account at an annual rate of 7.5%.
Thereafter, the interest rate will be set each year to the Moody's Corporate
Bond Yield Average for December of the preceding year.  Each Account balance
shall be credited with interest compounded monthly based on the annual rate of
interest provided for under this Plan. In the case of installment payments as
provided in Section E.3. below, interest shall be credited on all amounts
remaining in a Participant's Account until all amounts are paid out.

     2.   Length of Deferral.  An Eligible Executive or Eligible Director shall
          ------------------
elect in writing, and file with the Administrator, at the same time as such
Eligible Executive or Eligible Director makes any election to defer any portion
of the Cash Gain, the period of deferral with respect to such election, subject
to the minimum required period of deferral and the maximum permissible period of
deferral.  The minimum required period of deferral is two years from the date
the compensation is deferred.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the two-year
minimum deferral period shall not apply to payments made as a result of death,
Disability, Retirement, pre-Retirement termination or hardship.  Payment must
commence no later than the end of the maximum period of deferral, which is the
January following the year in which the Eligible

                                                                          Page 2
<PAGE>

Employee reaches age 72 or, in the case of an Eligible Director, the January
after the Company's annual meeting of stock holders next following the Eligible
Director's 72nd birthday. Once such an election has been made, the Eligible
Executive or Eligible Director may alter the period of deferral, provided that:

          a.   such alteration is made at least one year prior to the earliest
date the Participant could have received distribution of the amounts credited to
his or her Account under the earlier election, and

          b.   such alteration does not provide for the receipt of such amounts
earlier than one year from the date of the alteration, subject to the two-year
minimum deferral rule stated above.

     3.   Election of Methods of Payment.  A Participant shall elect in writing,
          ------------------------------
and file with the Administrator, at the same time as any election to defer, a
method of payment of amounts deferred under this Plan from the following
methods:

          a.   Payment of amounts credited to the Participant's Account in any
specified number of approximately equal annual installments (not in excess of
10), the first installment to be paid in January of the Year designated by the
Participant.

          b.   Payment of the amounts credited to the Participant's Account in
any specified number of approximately equal annual installments (not in excess
of ten), the first installment to be paid in January after the designated
interval following the earlier of Participant's Retirement or the determination
of Disability.

          c.   Payment of the amount credited to the Participant's Account in a
single sum.

     4.   Payments on Termination.
          -----------------------

          a.   Director Termination.  If an Eligible Director ceases to be a
               --------------------
director of the Company for any reason other than death, the entire
undistributed amount credited to his or her Account will be paid in the form
elected by the Participant, or, if no election has been made, in a lump sum in
the January of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the
Eligible Director ceased to be a Director.

          b.   Executive Termination.  If an Eligible Executive terminates
               ---------------------
employment with the Company for any reason other than Retirement, Disability or
death, the entire undistributed amount credited to his or her Account will be
paid in the form of a lump sum in the January of the calendar year following the
calendar year of termination of employment.

                                                                          Page 3
<PAGE>

     5.   Payments on Death.
          -----------------

          a.   Death After Payments Have Begun.  If a Participant dies after
               -------------------------------
payments from his or her Account have begun, the remainder of the amounts
credited to the Participant's Account shall be paid to his or her Beneficiary at
the same time and in the same manner as they would have been paid had the
Participant survived.

          b.   Death Before Payments Have Begun.  If a Participant dies before
               --------------------------------
payments from his or her Account have begun, the amount credited to his or her
Account shall be paid to his or her Beneficiary at the time and in the manner
elected by the Participant.  Such election shall be made in writing and filed
with the Administrator at the time of any election to defer.  Deferred amounts
shall be paid in one of the methods specified in paragraphs a. and c. of Section
E.3.  The Administrator, at his or her discretion, may distribute the deferred
amounts to a Beneficiary in a single payment if the value of his or her Account
balance is less than $5,000.

     6.   Payments on Disability.  If the Administrator determines that a
          ----------------------
Participant has become Disabled, the entire undistributed amount credited to his
or her Account will be paid in the form and at the time elected by the
Participant, or, if no election has been made, in a lump sum as soon as
practicable after such determination is made.

     7.   Payments on Hardship.  The Administrator may in his or her sole
          --------------------
discretion direct payment to a Participant of all or of any portion of the
Participant's Account balance, notwithstanding an election under Section E.3.
above, at any time that he or she determines that such Participant has suffered
an event of undue hardship which causes an emergency condition in his or her
financial affairs.

     8.   Designation of Beneficiary.  A Participant may designate any person(s)
          --------------------------
or any entity as his or her Beneficiary.  Such designation shall be in writing
and shall become effective only when filed with the Administrator.  Such filing
must occur before the Participant's death.  A Participant may change the
Beneficiary, from time to time, by filing a new written designation with the
Administrator.  If the Participant is married, any Beneficiary designation which
does not designate the Participant's spouse to receive at least one-half of the
Participant's Account shall only become effective when approved in writing by
the Participant's spouse.


F.   SOURCE OF PAYMENT
     -----------------

     Amounts paid under this Plan shall be paid from the general funds of the
Company, and each Participant and his or her Beneficiaries shall be no more than
unsecured general creditors of the Company with no special or prior right to any
assets of the Company (whose claims may be subordinated to those of creditors of
Company subsidiaries) for payment of any obligations hereunder.  Nothing
contained in this Plan shall be deemed to create a trust of any kind for the
benefit of any Participant or Beneficiary, or create any fiduciary relationship
between the Company and any Participant or Beneficiary with respect to any
assets of the Company.

                                                                          Page 4
<PAGE>

G.   MISCELLANEOUS
     -------------

     1.   Withholding.  Each Participant and Beneficiary shall make appropriate
          -----------
arrangements with the Company for the satisfaction of any federal, state or
local income tax withholding requirements and Social Security or other
employment tax requirements applicable to deferrals under this Plan or the
payment of amounts deferred under this Plan.  If no other arrangements are made,
the Company may provide, at its discretion, for such withholding and tax
payments as may be required.

     2.   No Assignment.  The benefits provided under this Plan may not be
          -------------
alienated, assigned, transferred, pledged or hypothecated by any person, at any
time.  These benefits shall be exempt from the claims of creditors or other
claimants and from all orders, decrees, levies, garnishments or executions.

     3.   Applicable Law; Severability.  The Plan hereby created shall be
          ----------------------------
construed, administered and governed in all respects in accordance with ERISA
and the laws of the State of California to the extent that the latter are not
preempted by ERISA.  If any provision of this instrument shall be held by a
court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining
provisions hereunder shall continue to be effective.


H.   ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN
     --------------------------

     1.   In General.  The Plan Administrator shall be the Senior Vice President
          ----------

                     DIRECTORS' DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN
                     -------------------------------------

                       (Amended as of January 27, 1999)


1.   ELIGIBILITY
     -----------

     Any director of McKesson HBOC, Inc. (the "Company") entitled to
compensation by the Company for service as a director ("Eligible Director") may
elect to defer receipt of his compensation under this Plan (the "Plan") and
thereby shall become a participant under the Deferred Compensation
Administration Plan of the Company.

2.   ELECTION TO PARTICIPATE IN PLAN
     -------------------------------

     (a) An Eligible Director may at any time elect to participate in the Plan
and defer receipt of either all his annual retainer fees and meeting fees or all
his annual retainer fees. Deferred compensation shall be credited to the
Deferred Compensation Administration Plan as of the end of each quarter.  An
Eligible Director may at any time and from time to time, by delivering a written
request to the Company, change his election, but all amounts accumulated
pursuant to the Plan prior to such election shall continue to be subject to the
terms of any prior election by the Eligible Director in effect when such amounts
were earned.  No new deferrals shall be made under this Plan after January 1,
1994.

     (b) Income deferred hereunder shall remain the property of the Company and
no Eligible Director shall acquire any property interest in the Account, stock
or any other assets of the Company, his right being limited to receiving from
the Company deferred payments measured as set forth in this Plan and this right
is conditioned upon continued compliance with the terms and conditions of this
Plan.  To the extent that any Eligible Director acquires a right to receive
benefits under this Plan, such right shall be no greater than the right of any
unsecured general creditor of the Company.  No such right shall be assignable by
any Eligible Director, except that payments may be made to his estate under the
terms of Section 5.

     (c) Each such Eligible Director shall file with the Company at the time of
his election to participate in the Plan an irrevocable election of one of the

may at any later date elect to terminate his participation in the Plan with
respect to compensation as a Director to be earned thereafter by executing and
delivering to the Company a notice to that effect, in which

                                                                          Page 1
<PAGE>

event the amount accumulated pursuant to the Plan prior to notice of his
election to terminate will continue to be subject to the provisions of the Plan.
An Eligible Director who elects to terminate his participation shall not be re-
eligible to participate in this Plan until one year from the effective date of
the termination.


4.   DISTRIBUTION OF AMOUNTS DEFERRED UNDER THE PLAN
     -----------------------------------------------

     (a)  Amounts deferred under the Plan shall be paid in approximately equal
annual installments over such period of years, not exceeding ten years, as the
Eligible Director has elected.  The Eligible Director shall further elect that
such distribution shall commence as of:

          (1)  the first day of the first calendar quarter after the Eligible
Director ceases being a director of the Company, or

          (2)  the later of:

               (i)  the date determined pursuant to subsection (1) or

               (ii) the first day of the calendar year following the calendar
                    year in which the Eligible Director has retired from his
                    principal occupation.

     (b)  Once an election is made, the Eligible Director may alter the timing
of receipt of such deferred compensation, provided that such alteration is made
at least one year prior to the earliest date the Eligible Director could have
received distribution of the deferred compensation under a previous election and
does not provide for the receipt of such amounts earlier than one year from the
date of the alteration.

5.   DEATH OF AN ELIGIBLE DIRECTOR
     -----------------------------

     Upon the death of an Eligible Director or former Eligible Director, the
balance in full of any amounts deferred under the Plan shall be payable, on the
2nd day of the calendar year following the year in which he or she dies, to his
or her designated beneficiary or beneficiaries, and if he or she has designated
none, or if none is alive, then it shall be payable to his or her estate.

6.   AMENDMENT OF THE PLAN
     ---------------------

     The Plan may be amended from time to time by resolution of the Board of
Directors of the Company, but no such amendment shall permit amounts accumulated
pursuant to the Plan prior to the amendment to be paid to an Eligible Director
prior to the time he would otherwise be entitled thereto.

                                                                          Page 2
<PAGE>

7.   TERMINATION OF THE PLAN
     -----------------------

     The Plan will continue in effect until terminated by resolution of the
Board of Directors of the Company, but in the event of such termination, the
amounts accumulated pursuant to the Plan prior to termination will continue to
be subject to the provisions of the Plan as if the Plan had not been terminated.

8.   EFFECTIVE DATE OF THE PLAN
     --------------------------

Director for services as such following March 31, 1977.

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

                        Amended as of January 27, 1999
                        ------------------------------


A.   PURPOSE
     -------

     This Plan is established to further enhance the Company's ability to
attract and retain executive personnel.

B.   ERISA PLAN
     ----------

     This Plan is an unfunded deferred compensation program for a select group
of management employees of the Company.  The Plan therefore is covered by Title
I of ERISA except that it is exempt from Parts 2, 3, and 4 of Title I of ERISA.

C.   PARTICIPATION
     -------------

     1.   Eligibility to Participate.  The Compensation Committee may, at its
          --------------------------
discretion, and at any time, and from time to time, select Company executives
who may elect to participate in this Plan ("Eligible Executives"). Selection of
Eligible Executives may be evidenced by the terms of the executive's employment
contract with the Company, or by inclusion among the persons specified by the
Compensation Committee.

     The Compensation Committee may, at its discretion, and at any time, and
from time to time, designate additional Eligible Executives and/or provide that
executives previously designated are no longer Eligible Executives.  If the
Compensation Committee determines that an executive is no longer an Eligible
Executive, he or she shall remain a Participant in the Plan until all amounts
credited to his or her Account prior to such determination are paid out under
the terms of the Plan (or until death, if earlier).

     2.   Election to Participate by Eligible Executives.   Each Eligible
          ----------------------------------------------
Executive may become a Participant in the Plan by electing to defer compensation
in accordance with the terms of this Plan.  An election to defer shall be in
writing, shall be irrevocable and shall be made at the time and in the form
specified by the Administrator.  On electing to defer compensation under this
Plan, the Eligible Executive shall be deemed to accept all of the terms and
conditions of this Plan.

          All elections to defer amounts under this Plan shall be made pursuant
to an election executed and filed with the Administrator before the amounts so
deferred are earned. All elections to defer 1985 compensation shall be executed
and filed with the Administrator no

     4.   Relation to Other Plans.
          -----------------------

          a.   DCAP.  An Eligible Executive may participate in this Plan and may
               ----

Plan. No amounts may be deferred under this Plan which have been deferred under
the McKesson HBOC, Inc. Deferred Compensation Administration Plan or any other
plan of the Company.

          b.   Other Plans.  For all other benefit programs maintained by the
               -----------
Company, amounts deferred by an Eligible Executive under this Plan shall, to the
extent relevant, be treated in the same manner as amounts deferred under the
McKesson HBOC, Inc. Deferred Compensation Administration Plan.

D.   AMOUNTS OF DEFERRAL
     -------------------

     1.   Minimum Deferral.  The minimum amount of compensation that may be
          ----------------
deferred by an Eligible Executive under this Plan for 1985 is one month's
salary. The minimum amount that an Eligible Executive may defer for 1986 and
later Years is $10,000.

          b.   Years After 1985.  The maximum amount of compensation which an
               ----------------
Eligible Executive may defer under this Plan for any Year after 1985 is (i)

for such Year, calculated at the annual base salary rate in effect on January 1
of such Year, and (ii) the amount of any annual bonus award and/or any Long-Term
Incentive Plan Award determined and payable to him or her in such Years.

     3.   As Deferrals After 1986.  Eligible Executives may not defer
          -----------------------
compensation under this Plan for any Year after 1986.

E.   PAYMENT OF DEFERRED COMPENSATION
     --------------------------------

     1.   Book Account and Interest Credit.  Compensation deferred by an
          --------------------------------
Eligible Executive under the Plan shall be credited to a separate bookkeeping
account for such Eligible Executive (the "Account"). (Separate Accounts or Sub-
Accounts may be established for each Year for which the Eligible Executive
elects to defer compensation.) Interest shall be credited to

                                                                          Page 2
<PAGE>

each Account for each Year at a rate equal to 6% plus the Moody's Corporate Bond
Yield Average--Monthly Average Corporates as published by Moody's Investors
Service, Inc. (or any successor thereto) for December of each Year prior to the
Year in which such interest rate is credited. Each Account balance shall be
compounded monthly, in a consistent manner as determined by the Administrator,
at the appropriate rate of interest provided for under the Plan.

     2.   Reduced Interest Rate for Participants Who Leave Before Approved
          ----------------------------------------------------------------
Retirement. If a Participant's employment with the Company is terminated for any
- ----------
reason whatsoever prior to the date of his or her Approved Retirement (except on
death or disability), the interest rate which shall be credited to his or her
Account shall be the rate specified in Section E.1, above, for the period up to
and including the date his or her employment terminates and thereafter shall be
the rate specified in Section E.1, above, less 6 percentage points per annum.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Compensation Committee may, in its
discretion, credit the Account of any Participant whose employment is terminated
at an interest rate up to the plan maximum for years and portions thereof,
following the date on which the Participant's employment terminates. This
reduced rate shall not apply to any amounts which have been distributed under
paragraph b of Section E.3 (relating to interim distributions) prior to such
termination.

     3.   Length of Deferral.
          ------------------

          a.   Basic Deferral Period.  An Eligible Executive shall elect in
               ---------------------
writing, and file with the Administrator, at the same time as such Eligible
Executive makes any election to defer compensation, the period of deferral with
respect to such election. Once such an election is made, an Eligible Executive
may alter the timing of receipt of benefits under the election, provided that
such alteration is made at least one year prior to the earliest date the
Participant could have received payment of benefits under the Plan under the
previous election and does not provide for the receipt of such amounts earlier
than one year from the date of the alteration. Payment of amounts deferred and
interest credited thereon must begin no later than the January following the
year in which the Eligible Executive reaches age 72, subject to the minimum
required period of deferral, which is 5 years.

          b.   Interim Distributions.  An Eligible Executive may elect to have
               ---------------------
up to 100% of the amount of compensation deferred in any Year, plus credited
interest, paid to him or her prior to age 65. No election made pursuant to this
paragraph may provide for payments of deferred compensation and interest
credited thereon until at least 5 years from the date of the deferral which is
the subject of the election.

               Any election under this paragraph shall be made in writing and
filed with the Administrator at the same time as any election to defer
compensation.

          c.   Benefits Payable on Death.  See Section F for the payment of
               -------------------------
benefits on death of a Participant.

                                                                          Page 3
<PAGE>

     4.   Method of Payment.
          -----------------

          a.   Election.  An Eligible Executive shall elect in writing, and file
               --------
with the Administrator, at the same time as any election to defer compensation,
a method of payment of benefits under the Plan.

          b.   Alternative Methods Available--Basic Deferral Period. The
               ----------------------------------------------------
following methods of benefit payment may be elected by an Eligible Executive for
amounts payable after deferral under paragraph a. of Section E.3 relating to the
basic deferral period:

               (i)  Payment of amounts credited to the Participant's Account in
any specified number of approximately equal annual installments (not in excess
of 10). In the case of installment payments, interest at the appropriate rate
shall be credited on all amounts remaining in a Participant's Accounts.

               (ii) Payment of the amount credited to the Participant's Account
in a single sum.

          c.   Alternative Methods Available--Interim Distributions.  The
               ----------------------------------------------------
following methods of benefit payment may be elected by an Eligible Executive for
interim distributions under paragraph b of Section E.3:

               (i)  Payment in any specified number of approximately equal
annual installments (not in excess of 10). In the case of installment payments,
interest at the appropriate rate shall be credited on all amounts remaining in a
Participant's Accounts.

               (ii) Payment in a single sum.

     5.   Date Payments Begin.
          -------------------

          a.   After Basic Deferral Period. Payments shall begin (or, in the
               ---------------------------
case of payments to be made in a single sum, shall generally be made) on the
first day of the month after the basic deferral period ends under paragraph a.
of Section E.3, but, in any event, must begin no later than the January
following the year in which the Eligible Executive reaches age 72.

          b.   Interim Distributions.  Payments shall begin (or, in the case of
               ---------------------
payments to be made in a single sum, shall be made) on the date previously
elected by the Participant for interim distributions.

          c.   Upon Termination of Employment.  Notwithstanding paragraphs 5.a.
               ------------------------------
and b., above, if an Eligible Executive's employment with the Company terminates
before Retirement, the Participant shall receive a single, lump sum payment of
the entire amount credited to the Participant's Account in the January following
such termination of employment.

                                                                          Page 4
<PAGE>

F.   BENEFITS ON DEATH
     -----------------

     1.   Death After Payments Have Begun.
          -------------------------------

          a.   Basic Deferral. If a Participant dies after payments from his or
               --------------
her Account have begun (not taking into account interim distributions under
paragraph b of Section E.3), and if installment payments are being made, the
remainder of the amounts credited to the Participant's Account shall be paid to
his or her Beneficiary at the same time and in the same manner as they would
have been paid had the Participant survived until all amounts were paid out. If
installment payments have not been elected, amounts shall be paid as provided
for under any other form of benefit payment elected.

          b.   Interim Distributions.  If a Participant dies after interim
               ---------------------
distributions under paragraph b of Section E.3 have begun, the interim
distributions shall be paid to the Participant's Beneficiary at the same time
and in the same manner as they would have been paid had the Participant
survived.

     2.   Death Before Payments Have Begun.  If a Participant dies before
          --------------------------------
payments (except interim distributions) have begun, the amount credited to his
or her Account shall be paid to his or her Beneficiary beginning at the time
payments would have been made under paragraph a. of Section E.3. (relating to
basic deferrals) or at such earlier time as the Participant elected. Elections
shall be made in writing and filed with the Administrator at the time of any
election to defer compensation. Benefits shall be paid in one of the methods
specified in paragraph b. of Section E.4. If the Participant's employment with
the Company is terminated for any reason whatsoever prior to the date of
Approved Retirement (except on death or disability), the rate of interest which
shall be credited to his or her Account for the period after such termination
shall, of course, be the lower rate specified in Section E.2., unless the
Compensation Committee otherwise determines as provided in that Section E.2. The
Administrator, at his or her discretion, may distribute all benefits to a
Beneficiary in a single payment if the present value of the benefits payable to
a Participant or Beneficiary is less than $5,000.

     3.   Designation of Beneficiary.  A Participant may designate any person or
          --------------------------
entity as his or her Beneficiary, but may not designate more than one person or
any person that is not a natural person without the approval of the
Administrator. Designation shall be in writing and shall become effective only
when filed with (and, if appropriate, approved by) the Administrator. Such
filing must occur before the Participant's death. A Participant may change the
Beneficiary, from time to time, by filing a new written designation with (and,
if appropriate, approved by) the Administrator. If the Participant is married
any Beneficiary designation which does not designate the Participant's spouse to
receive at least one-half of the Participant's Account shall only become
effective when approved in writing by the Participant's spouse.

G.   SOURCE OF PAYMENT
     -----------------

     Amounts paid under this Plan shall be paid from the general funds of the
Company, and each Participant and his or her Beneficiaries shall be no more than
unsecured general creditors of

                                                                          Page 5
<PAGE>

the Company with no special or prior right to any assets of the Company for
payment of any obligations hereunder. Nothing contained in this Plan shall be
deemed to create a trust of any kind for the benefit of any Participant or
Beneficiary, or create any fiduciary relationship between the Company and any
Participant or Beneficiary with respect to any assets of the Company.

H.   MISCELLANEOUS
     -------------

     1.   Withholding. Each Participant and Beneficiary shall make appropriate
          -----------
arrangements with the Company for the satisfaction of any federal, state, or
local income tax withholding requirements and Social Security or other
employment tax requirements applicable to the payment of benefits under this
Plan. If no other arrangements are made, the Company may provide, at its
discretion, for such withholding and tax payments as may be required.

     2.   No Assignment. The benefits provided under this Plan may not be
          -------------

time. These benefits shall be exempt from the claims of creditors or other
claimants and from all orders, decrees, levies, garnishments or executions.

     3.   Insurance Examinations.  As a condition of participation in this Plan,
          ----------------------
each Eligible Executive shall, if requested by the Company, undergo such
examination and provide such information as may be required by the Company with
respect to an insurance contract on the Eligible Executive's life, and shall
authorize the Company to purchase life insurance on his or her life.

     4.   Applicable Law; Severability.  The Plan hereby created shall be
          ----------------------------
construed, administered, and governed in all respects in accordance with ERISA
and the laws of the State of California to the extent that the latter are not
preempted by ERISA. If any provision of this instrument shall be held by a court
of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining
provisions hereunder shall continue to be effective.

I.   ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN
     --------------------------

     1.   In General. The Plan Administrator shall be the Senior Vice President,
          ----------

J.   AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION OF THE PLAN

to any benefit previously earned under the Plan. The Board may increase or
decrease the interest rate credited to compensation previously deferred but the
rate shall not be reduced for periods prior to such action and shall not be

                     MANAGEMENT DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN
                     -------------------------------------

                         Amended as of January 27, 1999
                         ------------------------------

A.   PURPOSE
     -------

     This Plan is established to further enhance the Company's ability to
attract and retain executive personnel and Directors.


B.   ERISA PLAN
     ----------

     This Plan is an unfunded deferred compensation program for a select group
of management employees and Directors of the Company.  The Plan therefore is
covered by Title I of ERISA except that it is exempt from Parts 2, 3 and 4 of
Title I of ERISA.


C.   PARTICIPATION
     -------------

     1.   Eligibility to Participate
          --------------------------

          a.   Eligible Executives.  The Compensation Committee may, at its
               -------------------
discretion, and at any time, and from time to time, select Company executives
who may elect to participate in this Plan ("Eligible Executives").  Selection of
Eligible Executives may be evidenced by the terms of the executive's employment
contract with the Company, or by inclusion among the persons specified by the
Compensation Committee.

          The Compensation Committee may, at its discretion, and at any time,
and from time to time, designate additional Eligible Executives and/or provide
that executives previously designated are no longer Eligible Executives.  If the
Compensation Committee determines that an executive is no longer an Eligible
Executive, he or she shall remain a Participant in the Plan until all amounts
credited to his or her Account prior to such determination are paid out under
the terms of the Plan (or until death, if earlier).

          b.   Eligible Directors.  Each Director who is not a Company employee
               ------------------
may participate in this Plan ("Eligible Directors").

     2.   Election to Participate.  An Eligible Executive or an Eligible
          -----------------------
Director may become a Participant in the Plan by electing to defer compensation
in accordance with the terms of this Plan.  An election to defer shall be in
writing, shall be irrevocable and shall be made at the time and in the form
specified by the Administrator.  On electing to defer compensation under this
Plan, the Participant shall be deemed to accept all of the terms and conditions
of this Plan.

                                                                          Page 1
<PAGE>

          All elections to defer amounts under this Plan shall be made pursuant
to an election executed and filed with the Administrator before the amounts so
deferred are earned. All elections to defer compensation for any Year shall be
executed and filed with the Administrator no later than (i) November 30 of the
immediately preceding Year for Eligible Executives whose salaries are paid
monthly and (ii) December 15 of the immediately preceding Year for all other
Eligible Executives and Eligible Directors.

     3.   Notification of Participants.  The Administrator shall annually notify
          ----------------------------
each Eligible Executive and each Eligible Director that he or she may
participate in the Plan for the next Year. Such notice shall also set forth the
Declared Rate for the next Year.

     4.   Relation to Other Plans.  An Eligible Executive or a Director may
          -----------------------
participate in this Plan and may also participate in any other benefit plan of
the Company in effect from time to time for which he or she is eligible, unless
the other plan may otherwise exclude participation on the basis of eligibility
for, or participation in, this Plan.  No amounts may be deferred under this Plan
which have been deferred under any other plan of the Company.  Deferrals under
this Plan may result in a reduction of benefits payable under the Social
Security Act, the Company's Retirement Plan and the Company's Profit-Sharing
Investment Plan.


D.   AMOUNTS OF DEFERRAL
     -------------------

     1.   Minimum Deferral.  The minimum amount that an Eligible Executive may
          ----------------
defer under this Plan for any Year is $5,000 of base salary, or any annual
bonuses and/or any Long-Term Incentive Plan award.  The minimum amount of
compensation that an Eligible Director may defer for any Year is $5,000.

     2.   Maximum Deferral for Eligible Executives.  The maximum amount of
          ----------------------------------------
compensation which an Eligible Executive may defer under this Plan for any Year
is (i) fifty percent (50%) of the amount of such Eligible Executive's base
salary for such Year, and (ii) the entire amount of any annual bonus award
and/or any Long-Term Incentive Plan Award determined and payable to him or her
in such Year.

     3.   Maximum Deferral for Eligible Directors.  The maximum amount of
          ---------------------------------------

          --------------------------------------
2 and 3 of this Section D., no new deferrals under this Plan shall be made after
January 1, 1994.

                                                                          Page 2
<PAGE>

E.   PAYMENT OF DEFERRED COMPENSATION
     --------------------------------

     1.   Book Account and Interest Credit.  Compensation deferred by a
          --------------------------------
Participant under the Plan shall be credited to a separate bookkeeping account
for such Participant (the "Account"). (Sub-Accounts may be established for each
Year for which the Participant elects to defer compensation.)  Interest shall be
credited to each Account (including Sub-Accounts established thereunder) for
each Year at a rate equal to a rate declared by the Compensation Committee
acting in its sole discretion after taking into account, among other things, the
following factors: the Company's cost of funds, corporate tax brackets, expected
amount and duration of deferrals, number and age of eligible Participants,
expected time and manner of payment of deferred amounts, and expected
performance of available fixed-rate insurance contracts covering the lives of
Participants (the "Declared Rate").  Each Account balance shall be compounded
monthly at the twelfth root of the annual Declared Rate of interest provided for
under this Plan.  In the case of installment payments as provided in Section E.3
below, interest shall be credited on all amounts remaining in a Participant's
Account until all amounts are paid out.

     2.   Length of Deferral.  An Eligible Executive or Eligible Director shall
          ------------------
elect in writing, and file with the Administrator, at the same time as such
Eligible Executive or Eligible Director makes any election to defer
compensation, the period of deferral with respect to such election, subject to
the minimum required period of deferral, which is five years after the end of
the Year for which compensation is deferred, except as otherwise provided in
this Section E. Payment must commence no later than the end of the maximum
period of deferral, which is the January following the year in which the
Eligible Executive reaches age 72, or, in the case of an Eligible Director, the
January after the Company's annual meeting of stockholders next following the
Eligible Director's 72nd birthday.  Once such an election has been made, the
Eligible Executive or Eligible Director may alter the period of deferral,
provided that:

          a.   such alteration is made at least one year prior to the earliest
date the Participant could have received distribution of the amounts credited to
his or her Account under the earlier election, and

          b.   such alteration does not provide for the receipt of such amounts
earlier than one year from the date of the alteration, subject to the five-year
minimum deferral rule stated above.

     3.   Election of Methods of Payment.  A Participant shall elect in writing,
          ------------------------------
and file with the Administrator, at the same time as any election to defer
compensation, a method of payment of benefits under this Plan from the following
methods:

          a.   Payment of amounts credited to the Participant's Account in any
specified number of approximately equal annual installments (not in excess of
10), the first installment to be paid in the Year designated by the Participant.

                                                                          Page 3
<PAGE>

          b.   Payment of the amounts credited to the Participant's Account in
any specified number of approximately equal annual installments (not in excess
of ten), the first installment to be paid at a designated interval following the
earlier of Participant's Retirement or one continuous year of disability.

          c.   Payment of the amount credited to the Participant's Account in a
single sum.

     4.   Date Payments Begin.  Single sum payments to be made following
          -------------------
Retirement shall be made as soon as practicable following such Retirement.  In
the case of a Participant's death, single sum or installment payments may begin
as soon as practicable after such death.  All other payments shall begin (or, in
the case of payments to be made in a single sum, shall be made) in January
following the deferral period under Section E.2, but, in any event, must begin
no later than the January following the year in which the Eligible Executive
reaches age 72, or, in the case of an Eligible Director, the January after the
Company's annual meeting of stockholders next following the Eligible Director's
72nd birthday.

     5.   Payments on Termination.  If for any reason other than Retirement or
          -----------------------
Death, an Eligible Executive terminates employment with the Company or an
Eligible Director ceases to be a Director, the entire undistributed amount of
his or her deferred compensation will be paid in the form of a lump sum as soon
as practicable after such termination or cessation.

     6.   Payments on Death.
          -----------------

          a.   Death After Payments Have Begun.  If a Participant dies after
               -------------------------------
payments from his or her Account have begun, the remainder of the amounts
credited to the Participant's Account shall be paid to his or her Beneficiary at
the same time and in the same manner as they would have been paid had the
Participant survived.

          b.   Death Before Payments Have Begun.  If a Participant dies before
               --------------------------------
payments from his or her Account have begun, the amount credited to his or her
Account shall be paid to his or her Beneficiary at the time and in the manner
elected by the Participant.  Such election shall be made in writing and filed
with the Administrator at the time of any election to defer compensation.
Benefits shall be paid in one of the methods specified in paragraphs a. and c.
of Section E.3. and at the time specified in Section E.4.  The Administrator, at
his or her discretion, may distribute all benefits to a Beneficiary in a single
payment if the present value of the benefits payable to a Participant or
Beneficiary is less than $5,000.

     7.   Payments on Hardship.  The Compensation Committee may in its sole
          --------------------
discretion direct payment to a Participant of all or of any portion of any
amounts deferred, notwithstanding an election under Section E.3 above at any
time that it determines that such Participant has suffered an event of undue
hardship which causes an emergency condition in his or her financial affairs.

                                                                          Page 4
<PAGE>

     8.   Effect of Change in Control on Minimum Deferral Period.  The five-year
          ------------------------------------------------------
minimum deferral period described in Section E.2. shall not apply in the event
of a Change in Control of the Company.

          For purposes of this Plan, a Change in Control of the Company shall be
deemed to have occurred if any of the events set forth in any one of the
following paragraphs shall occur:

          a.   any "person" (as defined in Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") and as such term is
modified in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act), excluding the Company
or any of its subsidiaries, a trustee or any fiduciary holding securities under
an employee benefit plan of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, an
underwriter temporarily holding securities pursuant to an offering of such
securities or a corporation owned, directly or indirectly, by stockholders of
the Company in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of the
Company, is or becomes the "beneficial owner" (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under
the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company
representing 30% or more of the combined voting power of the Company's then
outstanding securities; or

          b.   during any period of not more than two consecutive years,
individuals who at the beginning of such period constitute the Board and any new
director (other than a director designated by a Person who has entered into an
agreement with the Company to effect a transaction described in clause a., c.,
or d. of this paragraph) whose election by the Board or nomination for election
by the Company's stockholders was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds
(2/3) of the directors then still in office who either were directors at the
beginning of the period or whose election or nomination for election was
previously so approved, cease for any reason to constitute a majority thereof;
or

          c.   the shareholders of the Company approve a merger or consolidation
of the Company with any other corporation, other than (I) a merger or
consolidation which would result in the voting securities of the Company
outstanding immediately prior thereto continuing to represent (either by
remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the
surviving entity), in combination with the ownership of any trustee or other
fiduciary holding securities under an employee benefit plan of the Company, at
least 50% of the combined voting power of the voting securities of the Company
or such surviving entity outstanding immediately after such merger or
consolidation, or (II) a merger or consolidation effected to implement a
recapitalization of the Company (or similar transaction) in which no person
acquires more than 50% of the combined voting power of the Company's then
outstanding securities; or

          d.   the shareholders of the Company approve a plan of complete
liquidation of the Company or an agreement for the sale or disposition by the
Company of all or substantially all of the Company's assets.

          Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Change in Control shall be deemed to
have occurred if there is consummated any transaction or series of integrated
transactions immediately

                                                                          Page 5
<PAGE>

following which the holders of the Company's Common Stock immediately prior to
such transaction or series of transactions continue to have the same
proportionate ownership in an entity which owns all or substantially all of the
assets of the Company immediately prior to such transaction or series of
transactions.

          With respect to deferrals made prior to January 1, 1994, deferred
funds will be distributed upon a Change in Control, if the Participant has so
elected.

     9.   Designation of Beneficiary.  A Participant may designate any person(s)
          --------------------------
or any entity as his or her Beneficiary.  Designation shall be in writing and
shall become effective only when filed with the Administrator.  Such filing must
occur before the Participant's death.  A Participant may change the Beneficiary,
from time to time, by filing a new written designation with the Administrator.
If the Participant is married, any Beneficiary designation which does not
designate the Participant's spouse to receive at least one-half of the
Participant's Account shall only become effective when approved in writing by
the Participant's spouse.


F.   SOURCE OF PAYMENT
     -----------------

     Amounts paid under this Plan shall be paid from the general funds of the
Company, and each Participant and his or her Beneficiaries shall be no more than
unsecured general creditors of the Company with no special or prior right to any
assets of the Company for payment of any obligations hereunder.  Nothing
contained in this Plan shall be deemed to create a trust of any kind for the
benefit of any Participant or Beneficiary, or create any fiduciary relationship
between the Company and any Participant or Beneficiary with respect to any
assets of the Company.


G.   MISCELLANEOUS
     -------------

     1.   Withholding.  Each Participant and Beneficiary shall make appropriate
          -----------

local income tax withholding requirements and Social Security or other
employment tax requirements applicable to the payment of benefits under this
Plan.  If no other arrangements are made, the Company may provide, at its
discretion, for such withholding and tax payments as may be required.

     2.   No Assignment.  The benefits provided under this Plan may not be
          -------------
alienated, assigned, transferred, pledged or hypothecated by any person, at any
time.  These benefits shall be exempt from the claims of creditors or other
claimants and from all orders, decrees, levies, garnishments or executions.

     3.   Insurance Examinations.  As a condition of participation in this Plan,
          ----------------------

examination and provide such information as may be required by the Company with
respect to an insurance contract on

                                                                          Page 6

the Participant's life, and shall authorize the Company to purchase life
insurance on his or her life.

          ----------------------------
construed, administered and governed in all respects in accordance with ERISA
and the laws of the State of California to the extent that the latter are not

court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining
provisions hereunder shall continue to be effective.

                              McKESSON HBOC, INC.
                    1984 EXECUTIVE BENEFIT RETIREMENT PLAN
                    --------------------------------------

                        Amended as of January 27, 1999


A.   PURPOSE
     -------

     This Plan is established to enable the Company to attract and retain
key executive personnel by assisting them and their survivors in maintaining
their standards of living on the Executive's retirement or earlier death.

B.   ERISA PLAN
     ----------

     This Plan is an unfunded deferred compensation program for a select group
of highly compensated management employees of the Company. The Plan, therefore,
is generally covered by Title I of ERISA, but is exempt from Parts 2, 3, and 4
of Title I of ERISA.

C.   PARTICIPATION
     -------------

     1.   Selection by the Board.  The Board may select, at its discretion
          ----------------------
and from time to time as it decides, the Key Executives who participate in this
Plan.  Participation in the Plan shall be limited to those Executives of the
Company who are selected by the Board.  Selection of a Key Executive to
participate in the Plan may be evidenced by the terms of his contract of
employment with the Company.

     2.   Addition and Removal of Participants.  The Board may, at its
          ------------------------------------
discretion and at any time, designate additional Executives to participate in
the Plan and remove Executives from participation in the Plan.  If an Executive
is removed from participation prior to reaching age 65, he shall be entitled to
receive benefits, if any, as specified in Section D or F.

     3.   Notification of Participants.  The Administrator shall annually
          ----------------------------
notify each Executive that he is a participant in the Plan and shall notify each
Executive of the estimated amount of benefits which he will receive under the
Plan on Approved Retirement.

     4.   Relation to Other Plans, Etc.  If an Executive participates in this
          ----------------------------
Plan, he shall not participate in or receive benefits under any other Company-
paid plan, program or agreement that provides Company Executives, or the
individual Executive, with retirement benefits that supplement or are in
addition to the benefits under the Retirement Plan, Profit Sharing Investment
Plan or Supplemental Profit-Sharing Investment Plan, unless otherwise
specifically approved by the Board. For example, any Executive who participates
in this Plan shall not receive any retirement benefits under the McKesson HBOC,
Inc. Executive Benefit Plan or under any Supplemental Retirement Agreement or
Deferred Compensation Agreement that provides

                                                                          Page 1
<PAGE>

retirement benefits in addition to benefits provided under the Retirement Plan
or Profit-Sharing Investment Plan. This paragraph shall not limit an Executive's
participation in or benefits under any plan or program under which the Executive
voluntarily defers for later payment compensation otherwise currently payable to
him (such as, but not limited to, the Deferred Compensation Administration
Plan).

D.   BENEFITS ON APPROVED RETIREMENT
     -------------------------------

     1.   Amount of Benefits.
          ------------------

          a.   In General.  Except as otherwise provided herein, each Executive
               ----------
who participates in the Plan and terminates employment by reason of an Approved
Retirement shall be entitled to receive monthly payments equal to (1) reduced by
(2), as follows:

               (1)  The percentage of Average Final Compensation specified for
the Executive, which shall be as provided herein and no higher than sixty
percent (60%)

                    reduced by

               (2)  the Executive's Basic Retirement Benefits.

The percentage stated in clause (1) may be specified by the Board or may be
specified in the Executive's written employment contract with the Company.
Unless otherwise determined by the Board, the percentage of Average Final
Compensation specified in clause (1) shall be 20% plus 0.148% for each completed
month (1.77% per completed year) of the Executive's full-time continuous
employment with the Company, but in no event shall be higher than 60%.

          b.   Special Rule.  The benefit of an Executive under this Section D.
who is a participant in the Plan as of August 28, 1996, shall not be less than
his benefit calculated pursuant to Section F.1.a. of the Plan, without regard to
any reduction required by Section D.3. of the Plan.

          c.   Effect of Plan Termination.  If the Plan is terminated with
               --------------------------
respect to any or all Executives, each affected Executive who later terminates
employment by reason of an Approved Retirement shall be entitled to receive upon
such Approved Retirement monthly payments equal to (1) the applicable percentage
of Average Final Compensation under Section D.1.a. multiplied by his Pro Rata
Percentage, reduced by (2) his Basic Retirement Benefits.  For purposes of this
section, his Pro Rata Percentage and Average Final Compensation shall be
calculated by treating the date of Plan termination as the date that his
employment with the Company terminates.

          d.   Removal from Participation.  If an Executive is removed from Plan
               --------------------------
participation, and later terminates employment by reason of an Approved
Retirement, he shall be treated as if the Plan were terminated with respect to
him as of the date of his removal, and his

                                                                          Page 2
<PAGE>

benefits shall be determined under Section D.1.b. above except that his Basic
Retirement benefits reduction will be determined as of the date of his Approved
Retirement.

          e.   Change in Percentage.
               --------------------

               (1)  If the percentage of Average Final Compensation specified in
Section D.l.a. is reduced, the percentage applied to determine the Executive's
benefit shall be determined by averaging over his period of participation in the
Plan (and in the Executive Benefit Plan) the percentages that have been so
specified.  For example, if an Executive's percentage is reduced from 60% to
50%, and one-half of his Plan participation is at 60% and one-half at 50%, the
percentage used to determine his benefits will be 55%.  (See Appendix C.)

                    In addition, the benefit payable under this Plan after a
reduction in such percentage shall not be less than the benefit that would have
been paid if the Plan had been terminated with respect to the Executive on the
date of such reduction.

               (2)  If the percentage of Average Final Compensation specified in
Section D.l.a. is increased, such increased percentage shall apply for
determining Plan benefits without averaging it with prior percentages, and all
prior Plan participation shall be treated as having been participation under
that increased percentage.

          f.   Reduction for Basic Retirement Benefits.  The reduction for the
               ---------------------------------------
Executive's Basic Retirement Benefits shall be applied, unless otherwise
provided herein, by calculating all benefits as if they were payable in the form
of a straight life annuity beginning at the date of Approved Retirement, without
survivor benefits.  There is no requirement, however, that the benefits payable
under this Plan and any other plan be paid in the same form or at the same time.

     2.   Time of Payment.  The benefits provided on Approved Retirement shall
          ---------------
commence on the first day of the month following the date of the Executive's
Approved Retirement.

     3.   Early Retirement Benefit.  If an Executive's Approved Retirement
          ------------------------
occurs before attaining age 62, he shall receive a reduced benefit commencing on
the first day of the month following his Approved Retirement.  This benefit
shall be reduced beginning at age 62 at the same rate per year as that specified
for Retirement before Social Security Normal Retirement age under the Retirement
Plan.  On Approved Retirement before age 62, the reduction for Basic Retirement
Benefits shall be applied by calculating all benefits as if they were payable in
the form of a straight life annuity at the date of Approved Retirement before
age 62, without survivor benefits, to determine the net benefit payable under
this Plan.  See Appendix A for an example of this calculation.

     4.   No Election of Delayed Retirement Benefit.  An Executive may not elect
          -----------------------------------------
to delay the beginning of his retirement benefits under the Plan after the time
for commencement specified in Section D.2. or D.3., as applicable.

                                                                          Page 3
<PAGE>

E.   DEATH BENEFITS
     --------------

     1.   Death After Approved Retirement.  If an Executive dies after
          -------------------------------
Approved Retirement, benefits shall be paid after his death only in accordance
with the Method of Payment determined under Section H.  For example, if the
Executive received a straight life annuity or a lump sum, no benefits shall be
paid under this Plan after his death.

     2.   Death While Employed.
          --------------------

          a.   Benefits Payable to Beneficiary.  If an Executive dies while he
               -------------------------------
is employed by the Company, his beneficiary shall receive the monthly benefit
that would have been paid to such beneficiary if the Executive had terminated
employment by reason of an Approved Retirement on the last day of the month
before his death, had elected to receive his benefits in the actuarially reduced
form of a joint and 100% survivor annuity with his beneficiary as the contingent
annuitant, had begun to receive such benefits on the day prior to his death, and
died immediately thereafter.  Such payment shall be calculated by first
determining the amount payable to the Executive under this Plan without
reduction for Basic Retirement Benefits (applying any early Retirement Benefit
reduction and applying the actuarial reduction for joint and 100% survivor
annuity) and only thereafter making a reduction for Basic Retirement Benefits.
The reduction for Basic Retirement Benefits in connection with the Retirement
Plan in this case shall be in the amount payable, if any, under the Retirement
Plan as a spouse allowance; if any spouse allowance is payable under the
Retirement Plan on account of the Executive, this reduction shall be made even
if the Executive's beneficiary under this Plan is not his surviving spouse.  See
Appendix B for an example of this calculation.

          b.   Average Final Compensation.  For purposes of the calculations
               --------------------------
under this Section E.2., the Executive's Average Final Compensation shall be
based on the compensation he actually earned during his employment with the
Company.

          c.   No Designated Beneficiary.  If an Executive dies before Approved
               -------------------------
Retirement without having designated a beneficiary, and was married on the date
of his death, his surviving spouse shall be his beneficiary, unless otherwise
provided by applicable community property or other laws or court order.  If he
dies before Approved Retirement, has no surviving spouse and has not designated
a beneficiary, the present value of the benefits that would be paid to a
surviving spouse of the same age as the Executive under a joint and 100%
survivor annuity form (and under the method of calculation provided in Section
E.2.a. and b.) shall be paid to the Executive's estate in two equal amounts in
the 14 months following death.  The present value of benefits shall be
determined under factors established and uniformly applied by the Administrator.

     3.   Designation of Beneficiary.  An executive may designate any
          --------------------------
natural person as his beneficiary, but may not designate more than one person,
or any person that is not a natural

                                                                          Page 4
<PAGE>

person, without the approval of the Administrator. Designation shall be made in
writing and shall become effective only when filed with the Administrator. Such
filing must occur before the Executive's death. An Executive may change his
beneficiary, from time to time, by filing a new written designation with the
Administrator. If the Executive is married, any Beneficiary designation which
does not designate the Executive's spouse to receive at least one-half of the
benefit payable on the Executive's death shall only become effective when
approved in writing by the Executive's spouse.

F.   TERMINATION BEFORE APPROVED RETIREMENT
     --------------------------------------

     1.   Basic Rule
          ----------

          a.   Termination Benefits.  Subject to other applicable provisions in
               --------------------
this Plan, an Executive who terminates employment with the Company other than on
Approved Retirement or death shall be entitled to receive, beginning at age 65,
monthly payments equal to his Termination Benefits.  An Executive's Termination
Benefits are equal to 1) the applicable percentage of Average Final Compensation
under Section D.1.a., multiplied by his Pro Rata Percentage and reduced by 2)
his Basic Retirement Benefits at the later of age 65 or the date of actual
termination.

          b.   Plan Termination or Removal from Participation.  An Executive who
               ----------------------------------------------
terminates employment with the Company other than on Approved Retirement or
death and who has been removed from Plan participation ("removal") , or with
respect to whom the Plan has terminated prior to his termination of employment
("termination") shall be entitled to receive, beginning at age 65, monthly
payments determined under this Section F but treating his date of "removal" or
"termination", whichever is applicable, as his date of termination of employment
for purposes of calculating his Pro Rata Percentage and Average Final
Compensation.

          c.   Reduction for Subsequent Employer Benefits.  Any amount payable
               ------------------------------------------
under Section F.1.a. or b. shall be reduced by any retirement benefit payable to
the Executive or his beneficiary on account of service rendered to another
employer after his termination of employment with the Company.

     2.   Limitations.  No benefits shall be paid under this Section F to:
          -----------

          a.   Termination for Cause.  An Executive who is terminated for cause.
               ---------------------
If the Executive has a written employment agreement, "cause" shall be determined
in accordance with that agreement. Otherwise, "cause" shall be determined by the
Administrator.

          b.   Violation of Employment Agreement.  An Executive who terminates
               ---------------------------------
his employment in violation of his written employment agreement (if any).
Termination is in violation of an employment agreement if termination occurs
before the end of the term of that contract and is not allowed by the agreement
(e.g., for "good reason").

                                                                          Page 5
<PAGE>

          c.   No Vested Interest.  An Executive who has no vested interest in
               ------------------
benefits under the Retirement Plan at the time of his termination of employment
with the Company; provided, however, that this Section F.2.c. shall not apply to
any Executive who is a participant in this Plan on September 29, 1993. An
Executive who would have such a vested interest 1) if his employment was not
terminated by the Company in violation of his employment agreement or 2) if his
employment was not terminated for "good reason" under such agreement, shall be
treated as having such a vested interest.

     3.   Pro Rata Percentage.  An Executive's Pro Rata Percentage is the higher
          -------------------
of the following two percentages (but not greater than 100%). The first
percentage is determined by dividing the number of the Executive's whole months
of employment with the Company by the number of whole months from the date that
the Executive was first hired by the Company to the date that he will reach age
65 and multiplying by 100. The second percentage is determined by multiplying
4.44% by the number of his whole and partial years of completed employment with
the Company.

     4.   Rules of Application.
          --------------------

          a.   Periods of Employment.  For purposes of determining employment
               ---------------------
with the Company, periods that would be disregarded under the Retirement Plan on
account of breaks in service shall be disregarded under this Section.

          b.   Basic Retirement Benefits.  For purposes of this Section, an
               -------------------------
Executive's Basic Retirement Benefits shall be determined at the time that he
terminates employment with the Company, calculating all benefits as if they were
payable in the form of a straight life annuity beginning at the later of age 65
or the date of actual termination of employment, without survivor benefits.

          c.   Method of Payment.  Benefits under this section shall be paid in
               -----------------
the form provided in Section H.

          d.   Date Benefits Begin.  Benefits payable under this Section shall
               -------------------
begin on the first day of the month following the date the Executive reaches age
65.

          e.   Death Benefits.  For purposes of this Section:
               --------------

               (1)  If an Executive dies after his benefits have begun, benefits
payable thereafter, if any, shall be paid in accordance with the method of
payment determined under Section H.

               (2)  If an Executive who has terminated employment and is
entitled to receive benefits under this Section F dies before his benefits
begin, his beneficiary shall receive the monthly benefit payable under an
actuarially reduced form of joint and 100% survivor annuity with his beneficiary
as the contingent annuitant, payable beginning on the first day of the month
after the Executive would have reached age 65. The principles of the second and
third

                                                                          Page 6
<PAGE>

sentences of Section E.2.a. and the principles of Section E.2.b. and of this
Section shall apply for calculating these survivor benefits.

               (3)  The principles of Section E.2.c. and of this Section shall
apply if there is no surviving spouse and no designation of beneficiary. The
rules of Section E.3. concerning designation of beneficiary shall apply.

          f.   Change in Percentage.  The principles of Section D.1.d. shall
               --------------------
apply to benefits calculated under this Section F.

          g.   Example.  An Executive whose specified percentage of Average
               -------
Final Compensation under Section D.1.a. is 60% who was hired at age 50, whose
employment is terminated at age 60, and who otherwise qualifies for a benefit
under this Section, will have a vested benefit beginning at age 65 of 2/3's of
60% or 40% of actual Average Final Compensation, less his Basic Retirement
Benefits.

     5.   Other Agreement.  If an Executive's written Employment Agreement
          ---------------
with the Company provides higher benefits on termination of employment before
Approved Retirement than provided under this Section F, such higher benefits
shall be paid.

     6.   Forfeiture of Benefits.  Except as provided in this Section, and as
          ----------------------
provided elsewhere in this Plan with respect to Approved Retirement or death of
an Executive, an Executive or his beneficiaries shall not be entitled to any
benefits under this Plan, all obligations of the Company to the Executive and
his beneficiaries shall cease, and the Company shall have no further liability
to the Executive or any other person under this Plan.

G.   SPECIAL FORFEITURE AND REPAYMENT RULES
     --------------------------------------

     Any other provisions of this Plan to the contrary notwithstanding, if the
Compensation Committee of the Board determines that an Executive has engaged in
any of the actions described in 3. below, the consequences set forth in 1. and
2. below shall result.

     1.   Forfeiture of Benefits.  To the extent that the benefit that otherwise
          ----------------------
would be payable under this Plan exceeds the benefit, if any, that would have
been payable if the Executive's retirement had occurred on November 1, 1993,
such excess portion shall be forfeited and shall not be payable at any time
under this Plan.

     2.   Repayment.  If the Executive received a payment under this Plan at any
          ---------
time within six months prior to the date the Company discovered that the
Executive engaged in any action described in 3. below, the Executive, upon
written notice from the Company, shall repay to the Company in cash the excess
portion of any such payment, such excess portion to be calculated in the manner
described in 1. above.

     3.   The consequences described in 1. and 2. above shall apply if the
Executive, either before or after termination of employment with the Company:

                                                                          Page 7
<PAGE>

          a.   Accepts a position as a consultant to or an employee of a
business enterprise that is in direct competition with any line of business
engaged in by the Company at the time of the termination of the Executive's
employment;

          b.   Discloses to others, or takes or uses for his own purpose or the
purpose of others, any trade secrets, confidential information, knowledge, data
or know-how belonging to the Company and obtained by the Executive during the
term of his employment, whether or not they are the Executive's work product.
Examples of such confidential information or trade secrets include (but are not
limited to) customer lists, supplier lists, pricing and cost data, computer
programs, delivery routes, advertising plans, wage and salary data, financial
information, research and development plans, processes, equipment, product
information and all other types and categories of information as to which the
Executive knows or has reason to know that the Company intends or expects
secrecy to be maintained;

          c.   Fails to promptly return all documents and other tangible items
belonging to the Company in the Executive's possession or control, including all
complete or partial copies, recordings, abstracts, notes or reproductions of any
kind made from or about such documents or information contained therein, upon
termination of employment, whether pursuant to an Approved Retirement or
otherwise;

          d.   Fails to provide the Company with at least thirty (30) days'
written notice prior to directly or indirectly engaging in, becoming employed
by, or rendering services, advice or assistance to any business in competition
with the Company. As used herein, "business in competition" means any person,
organization or enterprise which is engaged in or is about to become engaged in
any line of business engaged in by the Company at the time of the termination of
the Executive's employment with the Company;

          e.   Fails to inform any new employer, before accepting employment, of
the terms of this section and of the Executive's continuing obligation to
maintain the confidentiality of the trade secrets and other confidential
information belonging to the Company and obtained by the Executive during the
term of his employment with the Company;

          f.   Induces or attempts to induce, directly or indirectly, any of the
Company's customers, employees, representatives or consultants to terminate,
discontinue or cease working with or for the Company, or to breach any contract
with the Company, in order to work with or for, or enter into a contract with,
the Executive or any third party; or

          g.   Engages in conduct which is not in good faith and which disrupts,
damages, impairs or interferes with the business, reputation or employees of the
Company.

     The Compensation Committee of the Board shall determine in its sole
discretion whether the Executive has engaged in any of the acts set forth in (a)
through (g) above, and its determination shall be conclusive and binding on all
interested persons.

                                                                          Page 8
<PAGE>

     Any provision of this section which is determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable shall be construed or limited in a
manner that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to the business
objectives intended by such invalid or unenforceable provision, without
invalidating or rendering unenforceable the remaining provisions of this
section.

H.   METHOD OF PAYMENT
     -----------------

     1.   Normal Form.  The Normal Form of Benefit under this Plan shall be a
          -----------
straight life annuity of monthly payments over the lifetime of the Executive,
with payments ceasing on the first day of the month in which the Executive dies.

     2.   Joint and Survivor Annuity.  If the Executive is married at the time
          --------------------------
benefits become payable, then, unless he has elected otherwise (as described
below), his benefits shall be paid in the actuarially reduced form of a joint
and 50% survivor annuity payable to him and his spouse. With the approval of the
Administrator, the Executive may elect, in writing, not to receive this form of
benefit, but any such election which provides a benefit for a beneficiary other
than his spouse must be approved in writing by his spouse to be effective. Such
election shall become effective when filed with the Administrator and must be
filed before the Executive's termination of employment with the Company.

     3.   Lump Sum Distribution.  An Executive whose employment terminates by
          ---------------------
reason of an Approved Retirement on or after June 1, 1997, may elect to have the
actuarial equivalent value of his benefits paid in the form of a lump sum
distribution in cash, where actuarial equivalence is determined using (i) the
interest rate prescribed by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation for
purposes of determining the present value of a lump sum distribution on plan
termination for the month in which the Executive makes the lump sum distribution
election and (ii) the mortality table in use under the Retirement Plan on the
date the Executive makes the lump sum distribution election. An election of a
lump sum form of distribution must be made at least twelve months prior to the
Executive's Approved Retirement (except that an election made prior to January
1, 1997 shall be effective as to any Approved Retirement occurring during
calendar year 1997) and shall be void and of no effect if either of the
following occurs: (a) the Executive's employment with the Company does not
terminate within 24 months after the date on which the Executive made the
election of a lump sum form of distribution; or (b) the Executive makes a new
election under this Section H.3. at least twelve months after the date of the
Executive's previous election under this Section H.3.

     An Executive who is married at the time benefits become payable under this
Section H.3. may not receive a lump sum form of distribution unless the
Executive's spouse approves of the election in writing.

     An Executive may elect a lump sum form of distribution less than twelve
months prior to his Approved Retirement, but in such event the amount of the
lump sum distribution shall be reduced by ten percent.

                                                                          Page 9
<PAGE>

     4.   Additional Forms of Benefits.  With the approval of the Administrator,
          ----------------------------
the Executive may elect to receive his benefits in one of the actuarially
equivalent benefit forms permitted under the Retirement Plan or such other form
as may be approved by the Administrator. If the Executive is married, any such
election must be approved in writing by his spouse to be effective, if it would
provide the spouse with a benefit less than that provided under Section H.2.

I.   SOURCE OF PAYMENT
     -----------------

     The benefits paid under this Plan shall be paid from the general funds of
the Company, and the Executive and his beneficiaries shall be no more than
unsecured general creditors of the Company with no special or prior right to any
assets of the Company for payment of any obligations hereunder. Nothing
contained in this Plan shall be deemed to create a trust of any kind for the
benefit of the Executive or any beneficiary, or create any fiduciary
relationship between the Company and the Executive or any beneficiary with
respect to any assets of the Company.

J.   WITHHOLDING
     -----------

     The Executive and any beneficiary shall make appropriate arrangements with
the Company for the satisfaction of any federal, state or local income tax
withholding requirements and social security or other employee tax requirements
applicable to the payment of benefits under this Plan. If no other arrangements
are made, the Company may provide, at its discretion, for such withholding and
tax payments as may be required.

K.   ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN
     --------------------------

     1.   In General.  The Plan shall be administered by the Senior Vice
          ----------
President, Human Resources and Administration of the Company under the direction
of the Compensation Committee of the Board.  If the Senior Vice President, Human
Resources and Administration, is an Executive participating in the Plan, then
any discretionary action taken as Administrator which directly affects him as
Executive shall be specifically approved by the Compensation Committee.  The
Compensation Committee shall have the ultimate responsibility to interpret the
Plan and shall adopt such rules and regulations for carrying out the Plan as it
may deem necessary or appropriate.  Decisions of the Compensation Committee
shall be final and binding on all parties who have an interest in the Plan.

     2.   Elections and Notices.  All elections and notices made by an
          ---------------------
Executive under this Plan shall be in writing and filed with the Administrator.

     3.   Action by Board of Directors.  The Board may act under this Plan in
          ----------------------------
accordance with its normal procedures and practices, including but not limited
to delegation of its authority to act under the Plan.

     4.   Plan Year.  The Plan Year is the calendar year.
          ---------

                                                                         Page 10
<PAGE>

L.   AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION OF THE PLAN
     ------------------------------------

     The Board may at any time amend, alter, modify or terminate the Plan.
This Plan shall be treated as a plan covered by Section 301 of the Retirement
Equity Act for purposes of amendment and termination.

     The Compensation Committee of the Board may amend this Plan to make
technical and correcting changes and to make other changes that do not
materially increase the cost of the Plan to the Company or materially change its
design.

M.   NO ASSIGNMENT
     -------------

     The benefits provided under this Plan may not be alienated, assigned,
transferred, pledged or hypothecated by any person, at any time, or to any
person whatsoever.  These benefits shall be exempt from the claims of creditors
or other claimants and from all orders, decrees, levies, garnishment or
executions to the fullest extent allowed by law.

N.   DEFINITIONS
     -----------

     For purposes of the Plan, the following terms shall have the meanings
indicated:

     1.   "Administrator" shall mean the person specified in Section K.

     2.   "Approved Retirement" shall mean (i) any termination of employment
with the Company after attainment of age 62; (ii) any involuntary termination of
employment after both attainment of age 55 and completion of 15 years of service
(as determined under the Retirement Plan); or (iii) any other termination of
employment before (i) or (ii) above with the approval of the Board.

          Notwithstanding the foregoing, "Approved Retirement" shall not include
any termination for cause, which shall be determined as provided in Section
F.2.a. hereof.

     3.   "Average Final Compensation" shall mean: one-fifth of the sum of the
base salary and annual bonuses under the Management Incentive Plan ("MIP") or
any successor or replacement plans (including base salary and annual MIP bonuses

Compensation Administration Plan or MIP bonuses relinquished in favor of a stock
option grant under the 1994 Stock Option and Restricted Stock Plan) earned by an
Executive for the 5 consecutive years of full-time continuous employment with
the Company which (a) fall within the 15-year period ending on the first day of
the month following his termination of service with the Company and (b) produce
the highest such sum. If the Executive has had less than five years of full time
continuous employment, Average Final Compensation shall be base salary and
annual bonuses, including amounts voluntarily deferred or relinquished

                                                                         Page 11

with the Company, divided by the number of whole and partial years of service.

     4.   "Basic Retirement Benefits" shall mean the monthly annuity
benefit payable under the Retirement Plan and a hypothetical monthly annuity
benefit payable to the Executive under the Profit-Sharing Investment Plan as
follows:

          a.   Benefits from the Executive's interest in the Retirement Plan
shall be calculated on a straight life annuity basis payable (i) to the
Executive in the event of normal retirement, retirement after age 65, early
retirement, or termination allowance as defined in the Retirement Plan, or (ii)
as a spouse allowance in the event of the Executive's death before Approved
Retirement (Section E.2.) or before benefits begin (Section F.4.e.).

          b.   The hypothetical annuity benefit payable under the Profit-Sharing
Investment Plan shall be calculated by first determining the value of each share
credited to the Executive's Retirement Share Plan account under that Plan as of
the date it was credited and applying an annual rate of twelve percent to such
value from the date such share was credited to such account to the date the
Executive's benefit under this Plan is to commence.  The aggregate value of all

determined shall then be converted to a straight life annuity using the factors
for determining actuarial equivalence set forth in Section H.3.

Delaware corporation.

     6.   "Company" shall mean McKesson HBOC, Inc., a Delaware Corporation,

<PAGE>

O.   MISCELLANEOUS
     -------------

     1.   Fiduciary Insurance.  The Company may purchase insurance for its
          -------------------
directors, officers, employees and agents to cover potential liability arising
from their acts and omissions concerning this Plan.

     2.   Applicable Law; Severability.  The Plan hereby created shall be
          ----------------------------
construed, administered, and governed in all respects in accordance with ERISA
and the laws of the State of California to the extent the latter are not

provisions hereof shall continue to be fully effective.

Plan shall not confer any legal rights upon any Executive to continued
employment or employment past age 65, nor shall the Plan interfere with the
rights of the Company to discharge any Executive or to treat him without regard
to the effect which that treatment might have upon him as a participant in the
Plan.

NOTE:    Retirement Plan benefits are governed by the terms of that Plan, and
         incorporate the appropriate reduction for early retirement. As
         intended, the 1984 EBRP provides a retirement income that, when added
         to income from the Retirement Plan, provides the executive with
         retirement income equal to the adjusted objective.

NOTE:    As intended, the 1984 EBRP Survivor Benefit provides a supplement to
         the Retirement Plan so that the total of these two sources of Company
         provided benefits equals the survivor's adjusted income objective. This
         method would apply even if the Retirement Plan Spouse Allowance were
         paid to a minor child, and the 1984 EBRP benefit were paid to the
         spouse.

                                  ----------

                EFFECTS OF AMENDING PLAN TO ELIMINATE REDUCTION
              FOR PROFIT-SHARING INVESTMENT PLAN BENEFITS AND TO
                    REDUCE THE MAXIMUM AVERAGE COMPENSATION
                               PERCENTAGE TO 60%


1.   Amendment Not Treated as Reduction or Increase of Percent of Average Final
     Compensation

     The amendment to the Plan as of December 2, 1987 to eliminate the reduction
for benefits from the Profit-Sharing Investment Plan and to reduce the maximum
Average Final Compensation percentage to 60% from 65% is not treated as a
reduction or increase of the percentage of Average Final Compensation under
Section D.1.d. of the Plan. This is the case because the change in the
percentage is coupled with the reduction in the offset and is intended to
provide a better overall benefit to Plan participants.

2.   Maintenance of Existing Benefits

     The amendment to the Plan of December 2, 1987 shall not operate to reduce
the benefit accrued as of that date by any person who is a Plan participant.
Therefore, any Executive who participated in the Plan on December 2, 1987 and
who otherwise is or becomes entitled to benefits under the Plan shall receive
the higher of: 1) the benefits which he had earned and to which he is entitled
under the Plan calculated on December 2, 1987 immediately before the Plan was
amended and taking into account the value of his vested benefit as of that date
under the Profit-Sharing Investment Plan, and 2) the benefits to which he is
entitled under the Plan as amended.

For example:  Assume that Appendix A shows the benefits to which an Executive
- -----------
who participates in the Plan on December 2, 1987 is entitled immediately after
the Plan's amendment (an Annual Single Life EBRP benefit of $95,800).  Under the
Plan on December 2, 1987, before amendment  his benefits would be calculated as
follows:

Executive retires at age 62, 3 years early

                                                                     ---------

         Single Life Annuity from Company

Annual Single Life EBRP Benefit                                      $  61,950

For this individual, the EBRP benefit from the Plan immediately after the Plan
amendment is higher than the benefit provided before amendment.  Since he is
entitled to the higher of the two, his benefit under the Plan would be $95,800.

                                                                         Page 17

                     1988 EXECUTIVE SURVIVOR BENEFITS PLAN
                     -------------------------------------
                         Amended as of January 27, 1999

A.   PURPOSE
     -------

     This Plan amends, restates and supersedes the 1988 Executive Survivor
Benefits Plan in its entirety effective as of March 2, 1988. This Plan is
established to enable the Company to attract and retain key executive personnel
by providing survivor benefits to Executives' Beneficiaries.

B.   ERISA PLAN
     ----------

     This Plan is covered by Title I of ERISA as a welfare benefit plan.

C.   PARTICIPATION
     -------------

     1.   Selection by Board. The Board may select, at its discretion and from
          ------------------
time to time as it decides, the key Executives who participate in this Plan.
Participation in the Plan shall be limited to those Executives of the Company
who are selected by the Board. Selection of a key Executive to participate in
the Plan may be evidenced by the terms of his Employment Agreement, if any, with
the Company.

     2.   Election Not to Participate. An Executive may elect not to
          ---------------------------
participate in this Plan at any time; such election shall be in writing and
shall become effective upon its receipt by the Administrator. No compensation or
benefits in lieu of this Plan shall be paid to an Executive who elects not to
participate, unless otherwise specifically approved by the Board. An election
not to participate shall be irrevocable unless otherwise determined by the
Board.

     3.   Insurability. Executives selected by the Board are not automatically
          ------------
entitled to the benefits provided under this Plan. Each Executive may be
required to satisfy such requirements for insurability as the Company shall
establish from time to time, if any, before he is entitled to benefits under
this Plan.

     4.   Addition and Removal of Participants. The Board may, at its
          ------------------------------------
discretion and at any time, designate additional Executives to participate in
the Plan and remove Executives from participation in the Plan. When an Executive
is removed from participation in the Plan by the Board, his benefits, if any,
shall be determined under Section E.

     5.   Notification of Participants. The Administrator shall annually notify
          ----------------------------
each Executive that he is a participant in the Plan and shall notify each
Executive of the amount of his benefits under the Plan.

                                                                          Page 1
<PAGE>

     6.   Relation to Other Plans. If an Executive participates in this Plan,
          -----------------------
he shall not participate in any other survivor benefit or life insurance plan or
similar program solely for Company Executives unless otherwise specifically
approved by the Administrator in writing. For example, any Executive who
participates in this Plan shall not receive any life insurance benefits under
the McKesson HBOC, Inc. 1984 Executive Insurance Plan, or its predecessor, the
McKesson Executive Benefit Plan. This provision shall not preclude the
Executive's participation in (i) any Company retirement plan, compensation plan,
including but not limited to the Executive Benefit Retirement Plan, the Deferred
Compensation Administration Plan and the 1985 Executives Elective Deferred
Compensation Plan, or (ii) any group life insurance or survivor benefit plan,
made generally available by the Company to all employees. This provision shall
not preclude the payment of survivor benefits which are earned and payable under
any Company retirement plan such as the plans listed in (i) above.

D.   SURVIVOR BENEFITS
     -----------------

     1.   Death of Executive While Employed. In the event of the death of an
          ---------------------------------
Executive while employed by the Company and except as provided in Sections D.3.
and D.4. below, Company shall pay Executive's Beneficiary as soon as practicable
thereafter a lump sum equal to: (i) the lesser of (a) three times the annual
base salary of the Executive, or (b) $2,000,000; multiplied by (ii) the Tax
Factor. The application of this Section D.1. is illustrated in Appendix I to
this Plan.

     2.   Death of Executive After Approved Retirement. In the event of the
          --------------------------------------------
death of an Executive after his Approved Retirement and except as provided in
Sections D.3. and D.4. below, Company shall pay Executive's Beneficiary as soon
as practicable thereafter a lump sum equal to the lesser of (a) the amount of
the proceeds from the life insurance policy or policies owned by the Company on
the life of the Executive, and (b) (i) $500,000 for an Executive who retires on
or before January 1, 1997, or (ii) $1,000,000 for an Executive who retires after
January 1, 1997.

     3.   Limitations on Benefits. No survivor benefits shall be paid under
          -----------------------
this Section D. in the following circumstances:

          a.   The Administrator shall determine in his discretion that
Executive has provided false or misleading information regarding Executive's
health or medical history that materially adversely affects the Company, or

          b.   The Administrator shall determine in his discretion that
Executive has committed suicide.

          For purposes of this Section D.3., the Administrator in his discretion
may waive in writing the foregoing limitations in whole or in part, and all
determinations by the Administrator shall be final.

                                                                          Page 2
<PAGE>

     4.   Executives Removed from Participation, Etc. Except as otherwise
          -------------------------------------------
approved by the Administrator in writing and at his sole discretion, no survivor
benefits shall be paid under this Section D. to any Beneficiary of an Executive
(i) who has elected not to participate under Section C.2. or (ii) who has been
removed from Plan participation prior to his death, or (iii) subject to Section
L. below, with respect to whom the Plan has been terminated prior to his death.

E.   TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT OTHER
     -------------------------------
     THAN ON APPROVED RETIREMENT OR DEATH
     ------------------------------------

     1.   Basic Rule.
          ----------

          a.   In the event of the death of an Executive after his termination
of employment with the Company other than on Approved Retirement and except as
provided in Section E.2. below, the Company shall pay Executive's Beneficiary a
lump sum equal to (i) an amount calculated using the formula in Section D.2.
above, subject to the limitations of Section D.3. above, (ii) multiplied by the
Executive's Pro Rata Percentage, and (iii) reduced by the amount provided in
Section E.1.c. below. Except as otherwise approved by the Administrator in
writing and at his sole discretion, final annual base salary shall be determined
as of the date of the Executive's termination of employment, for purposes of
this Section E.1.a.  The application of this Section E.1.a. is illustrated in
Appendix II to the Plan.

          b.   In the event of the death of an Executive after the Executive has
been removed from Plan participation in accordance with Section C.4. ("removal")
or with respect to whom the Plan has been terminated in accordance with Section
L. ("Plan termination") prior to his termination of employment, and except as
provided in Section E.2. below, the Company shall pay Executive's Beneficiary a
sum equal to the amount calculated as provided in Section E.1.a. above, but
treating the Executive's date of "removal" or the date of the "Plan
termination", whichever is applicable, as his date of termination of employment
for purposes of calculating his Pro Rata Percentage and his final annual base
salary.

          c.   Any amount determined under Section E.1.a. or b. shall be reduced
by any death or survivor benefit (other than a retirement benefit paid under a
tax qualified retirement plan) payable on account of service rendered by the
Executive to another employer after his termination of employment with the
Company.

     2.   Limitations on Benefits. No benefits shall be paid under Section E.
          -----------------------
in the following circumstances:

          a.   The Executive is terminated for cause; if the Executive has an
Employment Agreement, "cause" shall be determined in accordance with the
Employment Agreement, otherwise, "cause" shall be determined by the
Administrator,

          b.   The Executive has terminated his employment in violation of his
Employment Agreement, if any; termination is in violation of an Employment
Agreement if

                                                                          Page 3
<PAGE>

termination occurs before the end of the term of the Employment Agreement and is
not allowed by the Employment Agreement (e.g., for "good reason"), or

          c.   The Executive has not completed five or more years of
participation (whether or not consecutive) in this Plan and its predecessors,
the McKesson Corporation 1984 Executive Benefit Plan and the McKesson
Corporation 1984 Management Benefit Plan; an Executive who would have completed
five or more years (i) if his employment was not terminated by the Company in
violation of his employment agreement or (ii) if his employment was not
terminated for "good reason" under such Agreement, shall be treated as having
such years o(Pounds) participation.

     3.   Pro Rata Percentage. An Executive's Pro Rata Percentage is the higher
          -------------------
of the following two percentages (but not exceeding 100%): the first percentage
is determined by dividing the number of the Executive's whole months of
employment with the Company by the number of whole months from the date that the
Executive was first hired by the Company to the date that he will reach age 65,
and multiplied by 100. The second percentage is determined by multiplying 4.44%
by the number of his whole and partial years of completed employment with the
Company.

     4.   Rules of Application.
          --------------------

          a.   Periods of Employment. For purposes of determining employment
               ---------------------
with the Company, periods that would be disregarded under the Retirement Plan on
account of breaks in service shall be disregarded under this Section E.

     5.   Other Agreements. If an Executive's Employment Agreement provides for
          ----------------
higher survivor benefits than provided under this Section E., such higher
benefit shall be paid.

     6.   Forfeiture on Other Terminations. Except as provided in this Section
          --------------------------------
E., and as provided elsewhere in this Plan with respect to the death of an
Executive, on the death of the Executive, an Executive or his Beneficiary shall
not be entitled to any benefits under this Plan, all obligations of the Company
to the Executive and his Beneficiary under this Plan shall cease, and the
Company shall have no further liability to the Executive or any other person
under this Plan.

F.   SPECIAL FORFEITURE RULES
     ------------------------

     Any other provisions of this Plan to the contrary notwithstanding, if the
Compensation Committee of the Board determines that any Executive engaged in any
of the actions described in 2. below, the consequence set forth in 1. below
shall result.

     1.   Forfeiture of Benefits. To the extent that the benefit that otherwise
          ----------------------
would be payable under the Plan upon the death of the Executive exceeds the
benefit, if any, that would have been payable if the Executive had died on
November 1, 1993, such excess portion shall be forfeited and shall not be
payable under this Plan. In no event shall the amount payable under

                                                                          Page 4
<PAGE>

the Plan with respect to any Executive who is a participant in the Plan on
October 27, 1993 be less than the amount, if any, determined pursuant to Section
L.

     2.   Events Resulting in Forfeiture. The consequence described in 1. above
          ------------------------------
shall apply if the Executive, either before or after termination of employment
with the Company:

          a.   Accepts a position as a consultant to or an employee of a
business enterprise that is in direct competition with any line of business
engaged in by the Company at the time of the termination of the Executive's
employment.

          b.   Discloses to others, or takes or uses for his own purpose or the
purpose of others, any trade secrets, confidential information, knowledge, data
or know-how belonging to the Company and obtained by the Executive during the
term of his employment, whether or not they are the Executive's work product.
Examples of such confidential information or trade secrets include (but are not
limited to) customer lists, supplier lists, pricing and cost data, computer
programs, delivery routes, advertising plans, wage and salary data, financial
information, research and development plans, processes, equipment, product
information and all other types and categories of information as to which the
Executive knows or has reason to know that the Company intends or expects
secrecy to be maintained;

          c.   Fails to promptly return all documents and other tangible items
belonging to the Company in the Executive's possession or control, including all
complete or partial copies, recordings, abstracts, notes or reproductions of any
kind made from or about such documents or information contained therein, upon
termination of employment, whether pursuant to an Approved Retirement or
otherwise;

          d.   Fails to provide the Company with at least thirty (30) days'
written notice prior to directly or indirectly engaging in, becoming employed
by, or rendering services, advice or assistance to any business in competition
with the Company or any of its subsidiaries. As used herein, "business in
competition" means any person, organization or enterprise which is engaged in or
is about to become engaged in any line of business engaged in by the Company at
the time of the termination of the Executive's employment with the Company;

          e.   Fails to inform any new employer, before accepting employment, of
the terms of this section and of the Executive's continuing obligation to
maintain the confidentiality of the trade secrets and other confidential
information belonging to the Company and obtained by the Executive during the
term of his employment with the Company;

          f.   Induces or attempts to induce, directly or indirectly, any of the
Company's customers, employees, representatives or consultants to terminate,
discontinue or cease working with or for the Company, or to breach any contract
with the Company, in order to work with or for, or enter into a contract with,
the Executive or any third party; or

          g.   Engages in conduct which is not in good faith and which disrupts,
damages, impairs or interferes with the business, reputation or employees of the
Company.

                                                                          Page 5
<PAGE>

     The Compensation Committee of the Board shall determine in its sole
discretion whether the Executive has engaged in any of the acts set forth in
(a.) through (g.) above, and its determination shall be conclusive and binding
on all interested persons.

     Any provision of this section which is determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable shall be construed or limited in a
manner that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to the business
objectives intended by such invalid or unenforceable provision, without
invalidating or rendering unenforceable the remaining provisions of this
section.

G.   WITHHOLDING
     -----------

     The Executive or any Beneficiary shall make appropriate arrangements with
the Company for the satisfaction o(Pounds) any federal, state or local income
tax withholding requirements and social security or other employee tax
requirements applicable to the provision of benefits under this Plan. If no such
arrangements are made, the Company may provide, at its discretion, for such
withholding and tax payments as may be required.

H.   ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN
     --------------------------

     1.   In General. The Plan shall be administered by the Senior Vice
          ----------
President, Human Resources and Administration of the Company under the direction
of the Compensation Committee of the Board. If the Senior Vice President, Human
Resources and Administration is an Executive participating in the Plan, then any
discretionary action he takes as Administrator which directly affects him as
Executive shall be specifically approved by the Compensation Committee. The
Compensation Committee shall have the ultimate responsibility to interpret the
Plan and shall adopt such rules and regulations for carrying out the Plan as it
may deem necessary or appropriate. Decisions of the Compensation Committee shall
be final and binding on all parties who have an interest in the Plan.

     2.   Elections and Notices.  All elections and notices made by an Executive
          ---------------------
under this Plan shall be in writing and filed with the Administrator.

     3.   Action By Board of Directors.  The Board may act under this Plan in
          ----------------------------
accordance with its normal procedures and practice, including, but not limited
to, delegation of its authority to select key Executives to participate in this
plan.

I.   BENEFICIARY DESIGNATIONS
     ------------------------

     Each Executive may designate one or more Beneficiaries and contingent
Beneficiaries entitled to the survivor benefits under this Plan in a signed
writing delivered to the Administrator. An Executive may designate different
Beneficiaries at any time by delivering a new designation in like manner. Any
designation shall become effective only upon its receipt by the Administrator,
and the last effective designation received by the Administrator shall revoke

                                                                          Page 6
<PAGE>

and supersede all prior designations. If an Executive dies without having
effectively designated a Beneficiary, or if no designated Beneficiary survives
the Executive, the survivor benefit provided under this Plan shall be paid to
the Executive's surviving spouse or, if the Executive is not survived by his or
her spouse, such survivor benefit shall be paid to the following first named
persons who survive him or her:

     1.   the Executive's descendants in equal shares and the descendants of any
deceased descendants by right of representation;

     2.   the Executive's parents, in equal shares;

     3.   the Executive's siblings in equal shares and the descendants of any
deceased siblings by right of representation; or

     4.   the executors and/or administrators of the Executive's estate.

J.   SOURCE OF PAYMENT
     -----------------

     Amounts paid under Section D.2. of this Plan shall be paid from insurance
policy proceeds on the life of the Executive. Amounts paid under Section D.1.
may be paid from insurance policy proceeds on the life of the Executive or from
the general funds of the Company, and each Executive and his or her Beneficiary
shall be no more than an unsecured general creditor of the Company with no

extent allowed by law.

L.   AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION OF THE PLAN

This Appendix illustrates the calculation of benefits under Section D.1. of the
Plan.



A.   Assumptions
     -----------

     Executive is subject to California Income Tax.

     Executive's annual base salary:$350,000
     Top Marginal Rate of Tax:
               Top Federal Rate:28.0%
               Top California Rate:10.0%
     "Top Marginal Rate of Tax":
               .10 + [(1.0 - .10) x .28]35.2%
     "Tax Factor":

B.   Survivor Benefit on Death Before Approved Retirement
     ----------------------------------------------------

     Lesser of (a) $1,000,000 or (b) (3 x $350,000)
               multiplied by
     Tax Factor
               equals
     $1,000,000 x 1.543,

                                  -----------

This Appendix illustrates the calculation of benefits under Section E.1.a. of
the Plan.

An Executive is hired at age 50, his employment is terminated at age 60, and he
otherwise qualifies for a benefit under Section E. On the death of this
Executive, a benefit will be paid to his Beneficiary equal to the Pro Rata
Percentage (see calculation below) times 1-1/2 times the Executive's final
annual base compensation at the date of his termination of employment (or
$500,000, if smaller) multiplied by the Tax Factor, and reduced by any death or
survivor benefit payable to a beneficiary of the Executive on account of service
rendered to another employer as provided in Section E.1.c. If the above
Executive's annual base compensation was $300,000 at the date of his termination
of employment and the Tax Factor at the date the benefit is paid is 1.543, the
benefit payable to his Beneficiary would be $462,900, calculated as follows:

The Executive's Pro Rata Percentage is 66-2/3%, calculated as follows:

     The greater of (a) number of whole months of employment divided by total
     whole months from date of hire to age 65, or (b) 4.44% times whole and
     partial years of completed employment, or 120 months - 180 months = 66-
                                            --
     2/3%, which is greater than 4.44% x 10 years = 44.4%.

The Executive's benefit is:

     Pro Rata Percentage x [1-1/2 of final base compensation (1-1/2 x $300,000 =
     $450,000) or $500,000, if smaller] x Tax Factor

     66-2/3% x $450,000 x 1.543 = $462,900.

               benefits are paid (see Section L.11
               and Appendix I)1.543


B.   Survivor Benefits Under Section L
     ---------------------------------

     Under Section L., benefits are determined under Section E. by treating the
     date the plan is terminated as the date the Executive terminated
     employment, as follows:

     Pro Rata Percentage:66-2/3%
     ---------------------------

     Greater of (a) whole months of service divided by total whole months from
     hire to age 65 or (b) 4.44% times whole and partial years of service, a
     greater of 60% (180 - 300 = 60%) or 66-2/3% (4.44 x 15 years of service)

     Benefit:$452,900
     ----------------

     66-2/3% times (1-1/2 of $300,000, or $500,000 if smaller) times "Tax
     Factor" (1.543)

               (66% x $450,000) x 1.543 =
               $300,000 x 1.543 =

                 due to physical or mental illness) after written notice thereof
                 (specifying the particulars thereof in reasonable detail) and a

                 damage to the Company, or an act of gross negligence, fraud,
                 unfair competition, dishonesty or misrepresentation in the

           Article II of the McKesson HBOC, Inc. Retirement Plan.

           the employment of a Principal Officer for any reason other than Cause
           at any time other than within two years following a Change of
           Control, that Principal Officer shall be entitled to a severance
           payment equal to the lesser of (A) 12 months' Earnings plus one
           additional month for each Year of Service or (B) 24 months' Earnings.


           In no event shall the number of months' Earnings a Participant is
           entitled to receive hereunder exceed the number of months remaining

                   Retirement Plan and the 1988 Executive Survivor Benefits
                   Plan.

           ii)     A Participant who is terminated pursuant to this Section 3
                   shall receive pro rata Long-Term Incentive Plan awards for
                   all cycles in progress as of his or her termination date.
                   Such payments shall be based on actual Company performance
                   for the relevant award cycle, and awards shall be paid at
                   such time and in such manner as are paid to other
                   participants under such Plan.

     (d)   No Duplication of Benefits. In no event shall a Participant be
           entitled to any benefits under this Policy if his or her employment
           with the Company terminates under circumstances that entitle the
           Participant to receive severance benefits following a Change of
           Control of the Company.

                                                                          Page 2

     monthly installments over a period commencing on the date of the
     Participant's termination of employment not to exceed the number of months
     determined under said Section.

5.   EFFECT OF DEATH OF EMPLOYEE.

     Should a Participant die after employment terminates but while
     participating in the Policy and prior to the payment of the entire benefit
     due hereunder, the balance of the benefit payable under the Policy shall be
     paid in a lump sum to the Participant's surviving spouse, or, if none, to
     his or her surviving children or, if none, to his or her estate.

6.   AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION.

     The Company reserves the right to amend or terminate the Policy at any time
     and to increase or decrease the amount of any benefit provided under the
     Policy by action of the Compensation Committee of its Board of Directors;
     provided, however, that no such action shall have the effect of decreasing
     the benefit of a Participant whose employment with the Company terminated
     prior to the date of the Compensation Committee's action.

7.   ADMINISTRATION AND FIDUCIARIES.

     (a)  Plan Sponsor and Administrator. The Company is the "plan sponsor" and
          the "administrator" of the Policy, within the meaning of ERISA.

     (b)  Administrative Responsibilities. The Company shall be the named
          fiduciary with the power and sole discretion to determine who is
          eligible for benefits under the Policy, to interpret the Policy and to
          prescribe such forms, make such rules, regulations and computations
          and prescribe such guidelines as it may determine are necessary or
          appropriate for the operation and administration of the Policy and to
          change the terms of or rescind such rules, regulations or guidelines.
          Such determinations of eligibility, rules, regulations,
          interpretations, computations and guidelines shall be conclusive and
          binding upon all persons. In administering the Policy, the Company
          shall at all times discharge its duties with respect to the Policy in

          Committee may allocate any of the Company's responsibilities for the
          operation and administration of the Policy among the Company's
          officers, employees and agents. It may also delegate any of the
          Company's responsibilities under the Policy by designating, in
          writing, another person to carry out such responsibilities.

     (d)  No Individual Liability. It is declared to be the express purpose and
          intent of the Company that no individual liability shall attach to or

          by any officer, employee representative or agent of the Company,
          under, or by reason of the operation of, the Policy.

                                                                          Page 3

     benefits under the Policy, and at the request of a Participant it shall
     also provide a full and fair review of any denied claim for benefits under
     the Policy. A claim for benefits and a request for the review of a denied
     benefit shall be made in writing and addressed to the Compensation
     Committee at the Company's headquarters. The Compensation Committee's
     response shall be in writing and shall be given in a manner and time
     consistent with the regulations under ERISA Section 503. The Compensation
     Committee shall establish such rules and procedures, consistent with the
     Policy and with ERISA, as it may deem necessary or appropriate in carrying
     out its responsibilities under this Section 8.

9.   GENERAL PROVISIONS.

     (a)  Basis of Payments to and from Policy. All benefits under the Policy
          shall be paid by the Company. The Policy shall be unfunded and
          benefits hereunder shall be paid only from the general assets of the
          Company. Nothing contained in the Policy shall be deemed to create a
          trust of any kind for the benefit of any employee, or create any
          fiduciary relationship between the Company and any employee with
          respect to any assets of the Company. The Company is under no
          obligation to fund the benefits provided herein prior to payment,
          although it may do so if it chooses. Any assets which the Company
          chooses to use for advance funding shall not cause the Policy to be a
          funded plan within the meaning of ERISA.

     (b)  No Employment Rights. Nothing in the Policy shall be deemed to give

          any reason, which right is hereby reserved.

     (c)  Non-alienation of Benefits. No benefit payable under the Policy shall
          be subject to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment,
          pledge, encumbrance or charge, and any attempt to do shall be void.

                              McKESSON HBOC, INC.
                        1989 MANAGEMENT INCENTIVE PLAN
                        ------------------------------

                        Amended as of January 27, 1999

     The name of this plan shall be the McKesson HBOC, Inc. 1989 Management
Incentive Plan.  This Plan replaces in their entirety both the Company's
Management Incentive Plan and its Performance Award Plan for Key Employees.
This Plan is effective for fiscal years of the Company commencing on and after
April 1, 1989.


A.   PURPOSE
     -------

     The purpose of the Plan is to attract, retain and motivate key employees by
providing cash incentive awards to designated executive, managerial and
professional employees of the Company, its subsidiaries and affiliates.  The
Plan is designed to link managers' interests more closely with the interests of
the Company's shareholders.

     The Plan is established as a single incentive plan to reward designated
executives, managers and professionals who contribute to shareholder value.
Each Participant's award will take into account corporate performance as well
as, where appropriate, his or her own business unit's performance.  The Plan
also provides that awards will reflect individual performance, subject to
Article G.  Incentive awards paid under this Plan are intended to qualify as
performance-based compensation deductible by the Company under the Code.

B.   ADMINISTRATION
     --------------

     The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors ("Committee") shall
have full power and authority, subject to the provisions of the Plan, to review
and approve the designation of Participants and to promulgate such rules and
regulations as it deems necessary for the proper administration of the Plan, to
interpret the provisions and supervise the administration of the Plan, and to
take all action in connection therewith or in relation to the Plan as it deems
necessary or advisable.  Decisions and selections of the Committee shall be made
by a majority of its members and, if made pursuant to the provisions of the
Plan, shall be final.  Any decision reduced to writing and signed by all of the
members of the Committee shall be fully effective as if it had been made at a
meeting duly held.  The Committee shall consist solely of Disinterested Persons,
in conformance with Section 162(m) of the Code ("Section 162(m)").

                                                                          Page 1
<PAGE>

C.   PARTICIPATION
     -------------

     1.   Eligibility - Executives, Managers and Professionals
          ----------------------------------------------------

          Only active employees of the Company, its subsidiaries or affiliates
who are employed in an executive, managerial or professional capacity may be
designated as Participants under the Plan.

     2.   Designation and Removal of Participants
          ---------------------------------------

          No person shall be entitled to any award under this Plan for any Year
unless he or she is so designated as a Participant for that Year.  The Chief
Executive Officer (CEO) of the Company and such other persons as the CEO may
designate, shall recommend to the Committee employees (who may include such
recommending persons) for selection as Participants.  The Committee shall review
and approve Plan Participants recommended by management from among those
employees who are eligible to participate.  The Committee may add to or delete
individuals from the list of designated Participants at any time and from time
to time, at its sole discretion.

     3.   Notice of Participation
          -----------------------

          As soon as reasonably practicable, each person who is a Participant in
the Plan for a Year will be notified.

D.   INDIVIDUAL TARGET AWARDS FOR PARTICIPANTS
     -----------------------------------------

     1.   Targets, In General
          -------------------

          At the beginning of each Year, an Individual Target Award shall be
established for each Participant.  An Individual Target Award shall only be a
target and the amount of the target may or may not be paid to the Participant.
Establishment of an Individual Target Award for an employee for any Year shall
not imply or require that an Individual Target Award be set for any subsequent
year.  The amount of any actual award paid to any Participant may be greater or
less than this target.  As set forth in paragraph F4 below (but subject to the
limitations applicable to Covered Employees contained in Article G), the actual
award may be as much as three times target or as low as zero for any Year.  The
establishment of an Individual Target Award for an employee shall not affect the
right of the Company, its subsidiaries or affiliates to terminate, with or
without cause, such employee's employment at any time.

     2.   Percentage of Base Salary
          -------------------------

          Individual Target Awards shall be a percentage of the Participant's
base salary reviewed and approved by the Committee in its sole discretion.

                                                                          Page 2
<PAGE>

E.   BASIS OF AWARDS
     ---------------

     Awards will be based on contribution to shareholder value and individual
performance. The Committee shall establish measures, which may include financial
and non-financial objectives ("Performance Goals"), to calculate the shareholder
value contribution for each segment of the Company.   These Performance Goals
shall be determined by the Committee in advance of each Year or such period as
may be permitted by the regulations issued under Section 162(m), and shall be
based on one or more of the following criteria:  (i) the attainment of a
specified percentage return on total capital employed by the Company (or a
subsidiary or division of the Company); (ii) the attainment of a specified
percentage return on total stockholder equity of the Company; (iii) the
attainment of a specified percentage increase in earnings per share from
continuing operations; (iv) the attainment of a specified percentage increase in
Net Income of the Company; (v) the attainment of a specified percentage increase
in profit before taxation of the Company (or a subsidiary or division of the
Company); (vi) the attainment of a specified percentage increase in revenues of
the Company (or a subsidiary or division of the Company); and (vii) the
attainment of profit after-tax at specified levels of equity investment.  In
addition, such Performance Goals may be based upon the attainment of specified
levels of Company performance under one or more of the measures described above
relative to the performance of other corporations.

     Awards may be based on performance against objectives for more than one
segment of the Company.  For example, awards for corporate management will be
based on overall corporate performance against objectives, but awards for a
unit's management may be based on a combination of corporate, unit and sub-unit
performance against objectives.

     Subject to the limitations set forth in Article G below, individual
performance of each Participant will also be measured and used in determining
awards under this Plan.

F.   AWARD DETERMINATION
     -------------------

     1.   Award Determined by Committee
          -----------------------------

          After any Year for which an Individual Target Award is established for
a Participant under this Plan, the Committee shall review and approve, modify or
disapprove the amount, if any, to be paid to the Participant for the Year.  The
amount paid shall be the Individual Target Award adjusted to reflect both the
Company's financial performance and the Participant's individual performance.
All awards will be subject to the sole discretion of the Committee.

     2.   Financial Performance
          ---------------------

          Individual Target Award amounts will be modified by achievement of
financial objectives by the Company and relevant units and sub-units.
Performance results against financial objectives shall be reviewed and approved
by the Committee.  The Committee may as a result of this review modify or change
objectives or performance results for the Year as it

                                                                          Page 3
<PAGE>

determines to be necessary or appropriate to take into account changes during
the year including, but not limited to, changes in accounting methods,
acquisitions or divestitures, and unusual or non-recurring financial or other
events, to the extent not precluded by Section 162(m).

     3.   Individual Performance
          ----------------------

          Any Individual Target Award, adjusted to reflect financial
performance, will be further adjusted with the review and approval of the
Committee to give full weight to the Participant's individual performance during
the Year.

     4.   Overall Effect
          --------------

          The combination of any financial performance adjustment and individual
performance adjustment may increase the amount paid under this Plan to a
Participant for any Year to as much as three times the Individual Target Award,
and may reduce any amount payable to zero, subject to Article G.

G.   PROCEDURES APPLICABLE TO CERTAIN DESIGNATED PARTICIPANTS
     --------------------------------------------------------

     Awards under the Plan to Participants who are Covered Employees shall be
subject to preestablished Performance Goals as set forth herein.
Notwithstanding the provisions of Paragraph F.3 above, the Committee shall not
have discretion to modify the terms of awards to such Participants except as
specifically set forth in this Article G.

     1.   Target Award.  At the beginning of a Year, the Committee shall
          ------------
establish Individual Target Awards to such of the Participants who may be
Covered Employees, payment of which shall be conditioned upon satisfaction of
specific Performance Goals for the Year established by the Committee in writing
in advance of the Year, or within such period as may be permitted by regulations
issued under Section 162(m) of the Code.  The extent, if any, to which an Award
will be payable will be based upon the degree of achievement of the Performance
Goals; provided, however, that the Committee may, in its sole discretion, reduce
some or all of the amount which would otherwise be payable with respect to an
Award.

     2.   Performance Goals.  The Performance Goals established by the Committee
          -----------------
shall be the same as those objectives set for all Plan Participants and shall be
based on one or more of the criteria set forth in Article E above.

     3.   Payment of Awards.  At the time the Performance Goals are established,
          -----------------
the Committee shall prescribe a formula to determine the percentage of the
Individual Target Award which may be payable based upon the degree of attainment
of the Performance Goals during the Year.  If the minimum Performance Goals
established by the Committee are not met, no payment will be made to a
Participant who is a Covered Employee.  To the extent that the minimum
Performance Goals are satisfied or surpassed, and upon written certification by
the Committee that the Performance Goals have been satisfied to a particular
extent, payment of the award shall be made on the Payment Date in accordance
with the prescribed formula based upon a

                                                                          Page 4
<PAGE>

percentage of the Individual Target Award unless the Committee determines, in
its sole discretion, to reduce the payment to be made.

     4.   Maximum Award.  The maximum award payable to any Participant who is a
          -------------
Covered Employee for any Year shall not exceed two percent (2%) of the Company's
Net Income for that Year.

H.   ELECTIONS
     ---------

     1.   Election to Defer Payment.  At the time established under the
          -------------------------
Company's Deferred Compensation Administration Plan II ("DCAP II"), any
Participant who is eligible to participate in DCAP II may irrevocably elect, in
writing and in accordance with DCAP II, to defer his or her award under this
Plan so it is paid at the time and in the manner of, and subject to the terms
and conditions provided by, DCAP II.  If an election to defer an award is not
made, then any award under this Plan shall be paid in a single sum to the
Participant as soon as reasonably practicable after the amount of the award is
determined.  Notwithstanding the above provisions, no amount shall be deferred
for the Year under DCAP II unless the actual award under this Plan for that Year
is at least $5,000.  No awards may be deferred by a Participant under DCAP II
unless he or she is an active employee of the Company as of the end of the Year.

     2.   Election to Receive Stock Option Grant in Lieu of Award Under the
          -----------------------------------------------------------------
Plan.  Prior to the end of a calendar year, any Participant may irrevocably
elect, in writing on the form prescribed by the Committee, to receive a stock
option grant under the 1994 Stock Option and Restricted Stock Plan in lieu of
all or a portion of such Participant's award under this Plan for the Year in
which that calendar year ends.  Annually management of the Company shall
determine the rate at which stock option grants will be made in lieu of an award
under the Plan and that conversion rate shall be communicated to Participants
prior to the deadline for making the election described in the preceding
sentence.  The minimum number of option shares that a Participant may elect to
receive pursuant to such election is 500, subject to adjustment in the event of
a stock split, stock dividend, consolidation or other similar recapitalization
involving the capital stock of the Company.  In addition, the Company annually
shall prescribe a maximum portion of a Participant's Target Award that may be
made subject to an election to receive a stock option grant in lieu of an award
under the Plan.  If for any reason the Company does not make the stock option
grant contemplated by the Participant's election, the Participant shall be
deemed to have elected to make a deferral election pursuant to Section H.1 of
the award that was the subject of the election to receive a stock option.

I.   NO MANAGEMENT INCENTIVE FUND
     ----------------------------

     Awards paid under this Plan shall not be based on or payable from a "pool"
or a "Management Incentive Fund".

                                                                          Page 5
<PAGE>

J.   EMPLOYMENT AT YEAR END GENERALLY REQUIRED FOR AWARD
     ---------------------------------------------------

     No award shall be made to any Participant who is not an active employee of
the Company or one of its subsidiaries or affiliates at the end of the Year;
provided, however, that the Committee, in its sole and absolute discretion, may
- --------  -------
make pro-rata awards to Participants during a year in circumstances that
Committee deems appropriate including, but not limited to, a Participant's
death, disability, retirement or other termination of employment during such
Year. Any such pro-rated awards shall be determined by the Committee in
accordance with Section F above after taking into account the portion of the
Year then completed.

K.   NONASSIGNMENT AND PARTICIPANTS ARE GENERAL CREDITORS
     ----------------------------------------------------

     The interest of any Participant under the Plan shall not be assignable
either by voluntary or involuntary assignment or by operation of law, except by
designation of a beneficiary or beneficiaries to the extent allowed under the
Company's DCAP.

L.   AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION
     ------------------------

     While the Company hopes to continue the Plan indefinitely, it reserves the
right in its Board of Directors to amend, suspend or terminate the Plan or adopt
a new plan at any time; provided that no such amendment shall (i) without prior
approval of the Company's stockholders, alter the business criteria on which the
Performance Goals may be based, increase the maximum amount set forth in
Paragraph F.4 above, or modify the requirements as to eligibility for
participation in the Plan, or (ii) retroactively and adversely affect the
payment of any award previously made.  In case any one or more of the provisions
contained in the Plan shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability
shall not affect any other provision of the Plan, but the Plan shall be
construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions had never been
contained herein.

<PAGE>

                                                                   EXHIBIT 10.19

                              McKESSON HBOC, INC.
                           LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN
                     (As Amended through January 27, 1999)

          1.   Name and Purpose. The name of this plan is the McKesson HBOC,
               ----------------
Inc. Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "Plan")(formerly known as the McKesson
Corporation Long Term Incentive Plan). Its purpose is to advance and promote the
interests of the stockholders of McKesson HBOC, Inc., a Delaware Corporation
(the "Company") by attracting and retaining employees who strive for excellence,
and to motivate those employees to set and achieve above-average financial
objectives by providing competitive compensation for those who contribute most
to the operating progress and earning power of the Company, its subsidiaries and
affiliates.

          2.   Administration of the Plan. The Plan shall be administered by a
               --------------------------
committee (the "Committee") consisting of not less than two directors of the
Company to be appointed by the Board, each of whom is an "outside director"
within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue code of 1986, as
amended. No member of the Committee shall be eligible to receive benefits under
the Plan. The Committee shall have the sole authority, in its absolute
discretion, to adopt, amend, and rescind such rules and regulations as, in its
opinion, may be advisable in the administration of the Plan, to construe and
interpret the Plan, the rules and regulations, and to make all other
determinations deemed necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan.
All decisions, determinations and interpretations of the Committee shall be
final and binding on all participants and other interested parties.

          3.   Eligibility. Participation in the Plan shall be limited to those
               -----------
full-time, salaried key officers and other employees of the Company, its
subsidiaries and affiliates who are selected from time to time by the Committee.
Participants in the Plan are also eligible to participate in any incentive plan
of the Company.

          4.   Calculation of Awards. The Plan is designed to reward
               ---------------------
participants with benefits which reflect the financial performance of the
Company over performance periods of a duration designated by the Committee at
the beginning of such period. The Committee may (but is not required to)
designate for each incentive period the measures of financial performance and
the performance objectives (including, but not limited to, earnings per share,
total shareholder return or return on capital employed) applicable to awards
made with respect to such periods. The foregoing notwithstanding, the maximum
amount potentially payable to an individual for a performance period shall not
exceed 125% of the participant's rate of basic compensation at the beginning of
the performance period, multiplied by the number of years in the performance
period. For the purpose of calculating the maximum amount for performance
periods beginning after 1997, the 125% factor shall be increased by adjusting it
by the compound rate of total shareholder return for the Company, as determined
by the Committee, for the period elapsed since the beginning of the last
performance period.
<PAGE>

          5.   Payment of Awards. All awards to participants pursuant to the
               -----------------
Plan shall be paid in cash, provided, however, that, at the participant's
election, receipt of all or part of an award may be deferred under the terms of
the Company's Deferred Compensation Administration Plan II in the manner
prescribed by regulations established by the Committee.

          A Participant shall have no right to receive payment of any award
under the Plan unless he or she has satisfied regulations prescribed by the
Committee at the time of making the award and the Committee has determined that
the performance objectives applicable to such award, if any, have been achieved.

          Any other provision of the Plan to the contrary notwithstanding, if
the Committee determines that a Participant has engaged in any of the actions
described in (c) below, the consequences set forth in (a) and (b) below shall
result:

          (a)  Any outstanding award granted on or after October 27, 1993, shall
be forfeited immediately and automatically and shall not be payable to the
participant under any circumstances.

          (b)  If the participant received payment of an award granted on or
after October 27, 1993, within six months prior to the date that the Company
discovered that the participant engaged in any action described in (c) below,
the participant, upon written notice from the Company, shall immediately repay
to the Company in cash the amount of such award (including any amounts withheld
pursuant to Paragraph 7).

          (c)  The consequences described in (a) and (b) shall apply if the
participant, either before or after termination of employment with the Company
or one of its subsidiaries or affiliates:

               (i)    Discloses to others, or takes or uses for his own purpose
or the purpose of others, any trade secrets, confidential information,
knowledge, data or know-how belonging to the Company or any of its subsidiaries
or affiliates and obtained by the participant during the term of his employment,
whether or not they are the participant's work product. Examples of such
confidential information or trade secrets include (but are not limited to)
customer lists, supplier lists, pricing and cost data, computer programs,
delivery routes, advertising plans, wage and salary data, financial information,
research and development plans, processes, equipment, product information and
all other types and categories of information as to which the participant knows
or has reason to know that the Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates intends
or expects secrecy to be maintained;

               (ii)   Fails to promptly return all documents and other tangible
items belonging to the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates in the
participant's possession or control, including all complete or partial copies,
recordings, abstracts, notes or reproductions of any kind made from or about
such documents or iformation contained therein, upon termination of employment,
whether pursuant to retirement or otherwise;

                                       2
<PAGE>

               (iii)  Fails to provide the Company with at least thirty (30)
days' written notice prior to directly or indirectly engaging in, becoming
employed by, or rendering services, advice or assistance to any business in
competition with the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates. As used
herein, "business in competition" means any person, organization or enterprise
which is engaged in or is about to become engaged in any line of business
engaged in by the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates at the time
of the termination of the participant's employment with the Company or any of
its subsidiaries or affiliates;

               (iv)   Fails to inform any new employer, before accepting
employment, of the terms of this paragraph 5 and of the participant's continuing
obligation to maintain the confidentiality of the trade secrets and other
confidential information belonging to the Company or any of its subsidiaries or
affiliates and obtained by the participant during the term of his employment
with the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates;

               (v)    Induces or attempts to induce, directly or indirectly, any
of the customers of the Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates, employees,
representatives or consultants to terminate, discontinue or cease working with
or for the Company, or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, or to breach any
contract with the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, in order to
work with or for, or enter into a contract with, the participant or any third
party; or

               (vi)   Engages in conduct which is not in good faith and which
disrupts, damages, impairs or interferes with the business, reputation or
employees of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates.

          The Committee shall determine in its sole discretion whether the
participant has engaged in any of the acts set forth in (i) through (vi) above,
and its determination shall be conclusive and binding on all interested persons.

          Any provision of this paragraph 5 which is determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable should be construed or
limited in a manner that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to the
business objectives intended by such invalid or unenforceable provision, without
invalidating or rendering unenforceable the remaining provisions of this
paragraph 5.

          6.   Transferability. Awards made pursuant to the Plan are not
               ---------------
transferable or assignable by the participant other than by will or the laws of
descent and distribution, and payment thereunder during the participant's
lifetime shall be made only to the participant or to the guardian or legal
representative of the participant. Payments which are due to a deceased
participant pursuant to the Plan shall be paid to the person or persons to whom
such right to payment shall have been transferred by will or the laws of descent
and distribution.

          7.   Withholding Taxes. Whenever the payment of an award is made, such
               -----------------
payment shall be net of an amount sufficient to satisfy federal, state and local
withholding tax requirements and authorized deductions.

          8.   Funding. No provision of the Plan, or regulations adopted

                              McKESSON HBOC, INC.

                              STOCK PURCHASE PLAN

              (As amended and restated through January 27, 1999)



     1. Establishment. There is hereby adopted the McKesson HBOC, Inc. Stock
Purchase Plan (hereinafter called the "Plan")(formerly known as the McKesson
Corporation Stock Purchase Plan), subject to approval by holders of at least a
majority of the outstanding shares of voting stock of the Corporation.

     2. Stock Subject to the Plan. Rights may be granted under the Plan from
time to time to key employees of the Corporation and its Subsidiaries to
purchase from the Corporation an aggregate of not more than 2,500,000 shares of
Common Stock ($.01 par value) of the Corporation.

     3. Administration of the Plan. The Plan shall be administered by a
committee (the "Committee") consisting of not less than two directors of the
Company to be appointed by the Board, each of whom is a "non-employee director"
within the meaning of Rule 16b-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. No
member of the Committee shall be eligible to receive benefits under the Plan.
The Committee may from time to time determine which eligible employees shall be
granted rights under the Plan, and the number of shares for which a right shall
be granted to an employee. The Committee shall have the sole authority, in its
absolute discretion, to adopt, amend, and rescind such rules and regulations as,
in its opinion, may be advisable in the administration of the Plan, to construe
and interpret the Plan, the rules and regulations, and to make all other
determinations deemed necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan.
All decisions, determinations and interpretations of the Committee shall be
final and binding on all grantees and purchasers of stock under the Plan and on
other interested parties.

     4. Eligibility. Persons eligible for rights under the Plan are those key
employees of the Corporation or its Subsidiaries designated from time to time by
the Committee. Members of the Board of Directors of the Corporation who are not
employed as regular salaried officers or employees of the Corporation or of any
Subsidiary of the Corporation may not participate in the Plan.

     5. Exercise Price. The exercise price of the stock covered by each right
shall not be less than the fair market value of such stock on the date the right
is exercised, which shall be the closing sale price on such day on the New York
Stock Exchange.

     6. Right Terms and Conditions; Extension of Credit by the Corporation. The
term of each right shall be for such period not in excess of thirty days as the
Committee may determine. Purchases shall be evidenced by a written Stock
Purchase Agreement which may provide for the payment of the purchase price
(i) by a payment in cash or (ii) entirely by a
<PAGE>

promissory note payable on such repayment schedule as the Committee may
determine or (iii) by any combination of (i) and (ii). The Stock Purchase
Agreement may contain such other terms, provisions, and conditions as are
determined by the Committee. Stock purchased by an employee under the Plan shall
be pledged to the Corporation as collateral for the purchase loan terms and
conditions set forth in the Stock Purchase Agreement.

     7. Voting, Dividend Rights, etc. Shares purchased by employees under the
Plan shall be fully paid and non-assessable and be entitled to voting, dividend
and other rights.

     8. Amendment, Suspension or Termination of the Plan. The Board of Directors
may at any time suspend or terminate this Plan, and may amend it from time to
time in such respects as it may deem advisable.

                              McKESSON HBOC, INC.


                       STATEMENT OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
                  APPLICABLE TO CERTAIN STOCK OPTIONS GRANTED
                              ON JANUARY 27, 1999


                Unless otherwise stated in an Agreement (as defined herein) the
following terms and conditions shall apply to each stock option ("Option")
granted on January 27, 1999, to an employee of McKesson HBOC, Inc. (the
"Company") or an affiliate of the Company Optionee) other than stock options
designated as granted under the McKesson Corporation (the "Company") 1994 Stock
Option and Restricted Stock Plan.

                1.      Stock Subject to Options. All Options shall be for the
                        ------------------------
purchase of shares of common stock ($0.01 par value) of the Company (the
"Stock") subject to adjustment as provided in Section 18 of this Statement of
Terms and Conditions.

                2.      Option Agreement. Options shall be evidenced by an
                        ----------------
agreement ("Agreement") to be executed by the Optionee and the Company setting
forth the basic terms and conditions of the Option. Each Agreement shall
incorporate by reference and be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in
this Statement of Terms and Conditions.

                3.      Option Purchase Price. The purchase price of the Stock
                        ---------------------
subject to this Option shall be the Option Price Per Share, as specified in the
Agreement, which price shall be not less than the per share "fair market value"
of such Stock as of the date such Option was granted (the "Grant Date"). "Fair
market value" means the composite closing price on the Grant Date, as reported
in The Wall Street Journal.

                4.      Option Period and Vesting of Right to Exercise.
                        ----------------------------------------------

                        (a)     Option Period.  Options shall be exercisable
only during the applicable Option Period, and during such Option Period, the
exercisability of an Option shall be subject to the vesting provisions of
subparagraph 4(b) herein as modified by the rules set forth in paragraphs 5 and
6 herein. The Option Period shall commence on the Grant Date set forth in the
Agreement and, except as otherwise provided in paragraph 5, shall end on the
Terminal Date which shall be ten years from such Grant Date.

                        (b)     Vesting of Right to Exercise Options.
<PAGE>

                                (1)     Installment Option. Except as provided
in paragraph 6 below, an Option shall be exercisable during the Option Period as
follows:

                                        (i)     As to 50% of the number of
shares covered by the Option, at any time after two years from the Grant Date;
and

                                        (ii)    As to an additional 25% of the
number of shares covered by the Option, at any time after three years from the
Grant Date; and

                                        (iii)   As to an additional 25% of the
number of shares covered by the Option, at any time after four years from the
Grant Date.

                                (2)     Any vested portion of an Option not
exercised hereunder shall accumulate and be exercisable at any time on or before
the Terminal Date, subject to the rules set forth in paragraph 6. No Option may
be exercised for less than 5% of the total number of shares then available under
such Option. In no event shall the Company be required to issue fractional
shares.

                5.      Limits on Option Period and Acceleration of Vesting. The
                        ---------------------------------------------------
Option Period may end before the Terminal Date, and in the circumstances
described in subparagraphs 5 (b), (d), (e) and (f), the vesting of rights to
exercise Options may be accelerated, (subject to the provisions of paragraph 6
below), as follows:

                        (a)     If Optionee ceases to be a bona fide employee of
the Company or of its affiliates during the Option Period for reasons other than
for Cause (as defined herein), Normal or Early Retirement (as defined in (e)
below) or death, the Option Period shall end three (3) months after the date of
termination or on the Terminal Date, whichever date shall first occur, and the
Option shall be exercisable only to the extent that it was exercisable under the
provisions of the foregoing paragraph 4 at the time of such cessation of
employment. For purposes of this Statement of Terms and Conditions, termination
of employment for Cause shall mean termination upon Optionee's negligent or
willful engagement in misconduct which, in the sole determination of the
Company, is injurious to the Company, its employees, or its customers. If
Optionee is absent from work with the Company or an affiliate because of his
Disability (as defined in the Company's Short Term Disability Plan), other than
Long-Term Disability (as defined herein), or if Optionee is on leave of absence
for the purpose of serving the government of the country in which the principal
place of employment of Optionee is located, either in a military or civilian
capacity, or for such other purpose or reason as the Compensation Committee of
the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Committee") may approve, Optionee
shall not be deemed during the

                                       2
<PAGE>

period of any such absence, by virtue of such absence alone, to have terminated
employment with the Company or an affiliate except as the Committee may
otherwise expressly determine.

                (b)     If Optionee ceases to be a bona fide employee of the
Company or of its affiliates (for reasons other than for cause, retirement or
death) during the Option Period, the Committee may, in its sole and absolute
discretion (and subject to conditions deemed appropriate in the circumstances)
approve the continuation of the vesting schedule for any or all Options of
Optionee then remaining outstanding. In the event of Optionee's death, Long-Term
Disability, or a Change in Control occurring while Options remain outstanding,
Optionee's vesting schedule shall be accelerated. The Option Period for any
Option vesting pursuant to this subparagraph (b) shall end three (3) months
after the last Option installment vests, or on the Terminal Date, whichever
first occurs.

                (c)     If the employment of Optionee is terminated for Cause,
the Option Period shall end on the date of such termination of employment and
the Option shall thereupon not be exercisable to any extent whatsoever.

                (d)     In the case of Long-Term Disability of an Optionee, the
Option Period shall end three (3) years after the date of such disability or on
the Terminal Date, whichever shall first occur, and the Optionee may exercise
the entire unexercised portion of the then exercisable shares covered by such
Option (or any lesser amount) remaining at the date of such Long-Term
Disability. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may, in its sole
discretion, accelerate the vesting schedule as to all or any portion of an
Option which is not yet exercisable, effective as of the date of Long-Term
Disability of such Optionee. For purposes of this Statement of Terms and
Conditions, Long-Term Disability shall mean (i) a physical or mental condition
which, in the judgment of the Committee based on competent medical evidence
satisfactory to the Committee, including, if required by the Committee, medical
evidence obtained by an examination conducted by a physician selected by the
Committee, renders an individual unable to engage in any substantial gainful
activity for the Company and which impairment is likely to result in death or to
be of long, continued and indefinite duration, or (ii) a judicial declaration of
incompetence.

                (e) (i) If the employment of Optionee is terminated by reason of
Normal Retirement, the vesting schedule for Optionee's rights to exercise
Options shall be accelerated, and such Options shall be exercisable to the
extent of the entire unexercised portion of the Option (or any lesser amount)
remaining at the date of Normal Retirement.

                                       3
<PAGE>

                                        For purposes of this paragraph 7(e),
"Normal Retirement" shall mean retirement:

                                        (I)     at age 65 (62, in the case of a
participant in the McKesson Corporation 1984 Executive Benefit Retirement Plan)
with at least ten years of service with the Company; or

                                        (II)    as otherwise deemed appropriate
by the Committee.

                                (ii)    If the employment of Optionee is
terminated by reason of Early Retirement, the Option shall be exercised only to
the extent of those shares (or any lesser amount) exercisable at the date of
Early Retirement; provided, however, that the Committee may, in its sole
discretion (and subject to conditions deemed appropriate in the circumstances),
either (A) accelerate the vesting schedule as to all or any portion of an Option
which is not yet exercisable, effective as of the date of Optionee's Early
Retirement or (B) approve the continuation of the vesting schedule for any or
all Options of Optionee then remaining outstanding.

                                        For purposes of this paragraph 5(e),
"Early Retirement" shall be defined to be termination of employment which occurs
prior to Normal Retirement (as defined in (i) above) but on or after the date on
which the Optionee's age (expressed in terms of years and completed months) plus
Years of Retirement Share Plan Service (as determined under the terms of the
Profit-Sharing Investment Plan) equals 65.

                                (iii)   With respect to any Option held by an
Optionee at Normal or Early Retirement, the Option Period shall end three (3)
years after the date of retirement or on the Terminal Date, whichever occurs
first; provided, however, that in the case of an Option held by an Optionee at
Early Retirement as to which the Committee exercises its discretionary authority
to approve the continuation of the vesting schedule, the Option Period shall end
on the earlier of the Terminal Date or three (3) years after the date when the
last Option installment vests.

                        (f)     If Optionee should die while in the employ of
the Company or an affiliate, or within a period of seven (7) months following
retirement from the employ of the Company or an affiliate, or within the month
of termination of employment with the Company or one of its affiliates, the
Option Period shall end three (3) years after the date of death or on the
Terminal Date, whichever shall first occur, and the Optionee's executor or
administrator or the person or persons to whom Optionee's rights under any
Option shall pass by will or by the applicable laws of descent and

                                       4
<PAGE>

distribution, may exercise the entire unexercised portion of the then
exercisable shares covered by such Option (or any lesser amount) remaining on
the date of death. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may, in its sole
discretion, accelerate the vesting schedule as to all or any portion of an
Option which is not yet exercisable, effective as of the date of death of such
Optionee.

                        (g)     Upon a "Change in Control" (as defined in the
Company's 1994 Stock Option and Restricted Stock Plan), then notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, all Options that are outstanding at the time of
such Change in Control shall become immediately exercisable in full.

                6.      Special Forfeiture and Repayment Rules. Any other
                        --------------------------------------
provision of these terms and conditions to the contrary notwithstanding, if the
Committee determines that an Optionee has engaged in any of the actions
described in (c) below, the consequences set forth in (a) and (b) below shall
result:

                        (a)     Any outstanding Option shall immediately and
automatically terminate, be forfeited and shall cease to be exercisable, without
limitation, by the Optionee or his or her representatives, in the case of the
death of the Optionee.

                        (b)     If the Optionee exercised an Option within six
months prior to the date upon which the Company discovered that the Optionee
engaged in any action described in (c) below, the Optionee, upon written notice
from the Company, shall immediately pay to the Company the economic value
realized or obtained by the exercise of such Option, measured at the date of
exercise.

                        (c)     The consequences described in (a) and (b) above
shall apply if the Optionee, either before or after termination of employment
with the Company or its affiliates:

                                (i)     Discloses to others, or takes or uses
for his own purpose or the purpose of others, any trade secrets, confidential
information, knowledge, data or know-how or any other proprietary information or
intellectual property belonging to the Company or its affiliates and obtained by
the Optionee during the term of his employment, whether or not they are the
Optionee's work product. Examples of such confidential information or trade
secrets include, without limitation, customer lists, supplier lists, pricing and
cost data, computer programs, delivery routes, advertising plans, wage and
salary data, financial information, research and development plans, processes,
equipment, product information and all other types and categories of

                                       5
<PAGE>

information as to which the Optionee knows or has reason to know that the
Company or its affiliates intends or expects secrecy to be maintained;

                                (ii)    Fails to promptly return all documents
and other tangible items belonging to the Company or its affiliates in the
Optionee's possession or control, including all complete or partial copies,
recordings, abstracts, notes or reproductions of any kind made from or about
such documents or information contained therein, upon termination of employment,
whether pursuant to retirement or otherwise;

                                (iii)   Fails to provide the Company with at
least thirty (30) days' written notice prior to directly or indirectly engaging
in, becoming employed by, or rendering services, advice or assistance to any
business in competition with the Company or its affiliates. As used herein,
"business in competition" means any person, organization or enterprise which is
engaged in or is about to become engaged in any line of business engaged in by
the Company or its affiliates at the time of the termination of the Optionee's
employment with the Company or its affiliates;

                                (iv)    Fails to inform any new employer, before
accepting employment, of the terms of this paragraph and of the Optionee's
continuing obligation to maintain the confidentiality of the trade secrets and
other confidential information belonging to the Company or its affiliates and
obtained by the Optionee during the term of his employment with the Company or
any Subsidiary;

                                (v)     Induces or attempts to induce, directly
or indirectly, any of the customers of the Company or its affiliates, employees,
representatives or consultants to terminate, discontinue or cease working with
or for the Company or its affiliates, or to breach any contract with the Company
or any of its affiliates, in order to work with or for, or enter into a contract
with, the Optionee or any third party; or

                                (vi)    Engages in conduct which is not in good
faith and which disrupts, damages, impairs or interferes with the business,
reputation or employees of the Company or its affiliates.

                The Committee shall determine in its sole discretion whether the
Optionee has engaged in any of the acts set forth in (i) through (vi) above, and
its determination shall be conclusive and binding on all interested persons.

                Any provision of this paragraph which is determined by a court
of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable should be construed or
limited in a manner that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to the
business objectives

                                       6
<PAGE>

intended by such invalid or unenforceable provision, without invalidating or
rendering unenforceable the remaining provisions of this paragraph.

                7.      Method of Exercise. Optionee may exercise an Option with
                        ------------------
respect to all or any part of the shares of Stock then subject to such exercise
as follows:

                        (a)     By giving the Company, or its authorized
representative designated for this purpose, written notice of such exercise
specifying the number of such shares as to which the Option is so exercised.
Such notice shall be accompanied by an amount equal to the Option Price of such
shares, in the form of any one or combination of the following: cash or a
certified check, bank draft, postal or express money order payable to the order
of the Company in lawful money of the United States. The Optionee may pay the
Option Price, in whole or in part, by tendering to the Company or its authorized
representative shares of Stock which have been owned by Optionee for at least
six (6) months prior to said tender, and having a fair market value, as
determined by the Company, equal to the Option Price for such shares, or in lieu
of the delivery of actual shares of Stock in such tender, the Company may accept
an attestation by Optionee, in a form prescribed by the Company or its
authorized representative, that Optionee owns sufficient shares of Stock of
record or in an account in street name to satisfy the option exercise price, and
such attestation will be deemed a tender of shares for purposes of this method
of exercise. The Company or its authorized representative may accept payment of
the Option Price in the form of Optionee's personal check. Payment may also be
made by delivery (including by FAX transmission) to the Company of an executed
irrevocable option exercise form together with irrevocable instructions to an
approved registered investment broker to sell shares in an amount sufficient to
pay the exercise price plus any applicable withholding taxes and to transfer the
proceeds of such sale to the Company.

                        (b)     If required by the Company, by giving
satisfactory assurance in writing, signed by Optionee, that such shares are
being purchased for investment and not with a view to the distribution thereof;
provided that such assurance shall be deemed inapplicable to (1) any sale of
such shares by such Optionee made in accordance with the terms of a registration
statement covering such sale, which has heretofore been (or may hereafter be)
filed and become effective under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Securities Act") and with respect to which no stop order suspending the
effectiveness thereof has been issued, and (2) any other sale of such shares
with respect to which, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, such assurance
is not required to be given in order to comply with the provisions of the
Securities Act.

                        (c)     As soon as practicable after receipt of the
notice and the assurance described in subparagraphs 7(a) and 7(b), the Company
shall, without transfer or issue tax (except for withholding tax arrangements
contemplated in paragraph 14

                                       7
<PAGE>

hereof) and without other incidental expense to Optionee, deliver to the
Optionee at the office of the Company, McKesson Plaza, One Post Street, San
Francisco, California 94104, or such other place as may be mutually acceptable
to the Company and Optionee, a certificate or certificates of such shares of
Stock; provided, however, that the time of such delivery may be postponed by the
Company for such period as may be required for it with reasonable diligence to
comply with applicable registration requirements under the Securities Act, the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") any applicable
listing requirements of any national securities exchange and requirements under
any other law or regulation applicable to the issuance or transfer of such
shares.

                8.      Limitations on Transfer. An Option shall, during
                        -----------------------
Optionee's lifetime, be exercisable only by Optionee. No Option nor any right
granted thereunder shall be transferable by Optionee by operation of law or
otherwise, other than by will, the laws of descent and distribution, or pursuant
to a qualified domestic relations order as defined in the Code or Title I of the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act. In the event of any attempt by Optionee
to alienate, assign, pledge, hypothecate, or otherwise dispose of an Option or
of any right thereunder, except as provided herein, or in the event of the levy
of any attachment, execution, or similar process upon the rights or interest
hereby conferred, the Company at its election may terminate the affected Option
by notice to Optionee and the Option shall thereupon become null and void.

                9.      No Shareholder Rights. Neither Optionee nor any person
                        ---------------------
entitled to exercise Optionee's rights in the event of Optionee's death shall
have any of the rights of a shareholder with respect to the shares of Stock
subject to an Option except to the extent the certificates for such shares shall
have been issued upon the exercise of an Option.

                12.     Committee Decisions Conclusive. All decisions of the
                        ------------------------------
Committee upon any questions arising under this Statement of Terms and
Conditions or under an Agreement shall be conclusive.

                13.     No Effect on Other Benefit Plans. Nothing herein
                        --------------------------------
contained shall affect Optionee's right to participate in and receive benefits
from and in accordance with the then current provisions of any pensions,
insurance, or other employment welfare plan or program offered by the Company.

                14.     Withholding. Optionee agrees to make appropriate
                        -----------
arrangements with the Company and his employer for satisfaction of any
applicable federal, state or local income tax, withholding requirements or
social security requirements. Such arrangements may include an election by
Optionee to have the Company retain some portion of the Shares acquired pursuant
to exercise of the Option to satisfy such withholding requirements. The election
must be made prior to the date on which the amount to be withheld is determined.

                                If a qualifying election is made, then upon
exercise of this Option, in whole or in part, the Company will retain the number
of shares of stock having a value equal to the amount necessary to satisfy any
withholding requirements. Calculation of the number of shares to be withheld
shall be made based on the closing price of the Stock on the New York Stock
Exchange on the date that the amount of tax to be withheld is determined. In no
event, however, shall the Company be required to issue fractional shares of
Stock.

                                The Committee shall be authorized to establish
such rules, forms and procedures as it deems necessary to implement the
foregoing.

                15.     Successors. Agreements shall be binding upon and inure
                        ----------
to the benefit of any successor or successors of the Company. "Optionee" as used
herein shall include Optionee's executor, administrator, or other legal
representative or the person or persons to whom Optionee's rights under any
Option pass by will or by the applicable laws of descent and distribution.

                16. California Law. The interpretation, performance, and
                    --------------
enforcement of all Agreements shall be governed by the laws of the State of
California.

                17. Stock Appreciation Rights. Options may include stock
                    -------------------------
appreciation rights if the grant of such rights is specified in the applicable
Agreement. Any stock appreciation rights granted under an Option subject to the
Plan shall be subject to the following:

                        (a)  On or after the date an Option which includes stock
appreciation rights becomes exercisable under paragraphs 4 and 5 hereof, the
Optionee may request the Committee in writing to accept the surrender of up to
one half of the Shares then exercisable as provided in paragraphs 4 and 5 hereof
and to authorize payment in consideration therefor. The amount of such payment
shall be equal to the difference obtained by subtracting the Option Price Per
Share of the Stock from the per share fair market value of such Stock on the
date of surrender multiplied by the number of shares included in the surrendered
portion of the Option. Such payment may be made, in the absolute discretion of
the Committee, in shares of Stock valued at fair market value (as defined in the
Plan) on the date of surrender or in cash, or partly in such shares and partly
in cash.

                        (b)  The Committee may accept any requested surrender of
up to one half of the Shares hereunder at any time, provided, that any such
acceptance shall be made in any event prior to the Terminal Date of an Option,
or earlier, the date the Option ceases to be exercisable; and provided, however,
that Optionee may exercise his right to surrender such Option in exchange for
cash or a combination of cash and Stock only during an Authorized Surrender
Period. If Optionee is absent from work with the Company or an affiliate because
of disability or if Optionee is on leave of absence for the purpose of serving
the government of the country in which the principal place of employment of
Optionee is located, either in military or civilian capacity, or for such other
purpose or reason as the Committee may approve, Optionee shall not be deemed
during the period of such absence, by virtue of such absence alone, to have
terminated his employment with the Company or an affiliate, except as the
Committee may otherwise expressly provide.

                        (c)  Optionee may make the request referred to in this
paragraph 17 by giving the Committee written notice of such request, specifying
the number of Shares subject to the Option as to which the right to surrender is
requested.

                        (d)  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Optionee's
employment is terminated by reason of Retirement, then such Optionee's stock
appreciation rights shall not be exercisable after seven (7) months after the
date of Retirement or after the Terminal Date, whichever shall first occur.

                18.     Adjustment of Shares Subject to Option. In the event
                        --------------------------------------
that the Committee shall determine that any dividend or other distribution
(whether in the form of cash, stock, or other property), recapitalization, stock
split, reverse stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, spin-off,
combination, repurchase, or share exchange, or other similar corporate
transaction or event, affects the Stock such that an adjustment is appropriate
in order to preserve (but not increase) the rights of the Optionee, then the
Committee shall make such equitable changes or adjustments as it deems necessary
or appropriate to (i) the number and kind of Shares issued in respect of an
Option and (ii) the Option Price Per Share of an Option.

                19.     Amendments.  This Statement of Terms and Conditions and
                        ----------
any Agreement may be amended at any time by the Committee; provided, that no
amendment may adversely affect the Option without the written consent of the
Optionee.

however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of each Borrower hereunder to
pay any amount owing with respect to the Loans made to such Borrower.

          (b) Upon the request of any Bank made through the Agent, the Loans
made by such Bank to either or both Borrowers may be evidenced by one or more
Notes, instead of loan accounts. Each such Bank shall endorse on the schedules
annexed to its Note(s) the date, amount and maturity of each Loan made by it and
the amount and Applicable Currency of each payment of principal made by the
applicable Borrower with respect thereto. Each such Bank is irrevocably
authorized by the Borrowers to endorse its Note(s) and each Bank's record shall
be conclusive absent manifest error; provided, however,that the failure of a

               2.3  Procedure for Borrowing.
                    -----------------------

               (a)  Each Borrowing of a Facility A Domestic Loan or Facility B
     Loan shall be made upon the Company's irrevocable written notice delivered

     Company's and Medis' irrevocable written notice delivered to the Agent and
     the Canadian Administrative Agent in the form of a Notice of Borrowing
     (which notice must be received by the Canadian Administrative Agent and the
     Agent prior to 11:00 a.m. (Toronto time)) (i) one Business Day prior to the
     requested Borrowing Date in the case of Canadian Prime Rate Loans and (ii)
     three Business Days prior to the requested Borrowing Date in the case of
     Offshore Rate Loans. Each Notice of Borrowing shall specify:

                         (A)  the amount of the Borrowing, which shall be, in
          the case of a Facility A Domestic Loan or Facility B Loan, in an
          aggregate minimum amount of $5,000,000 or any multiple of $1,000,000
          in excess thereof, and, in the case of Facility A Canadian Loans, in
          an aggregate minimum amount of Cdn.$5,000,000 or any multiple of
          Cdn.$1,000,000 in excess thereof;

                         (B)  the identity of the Borrower and the requested
          Borrowing Date, which shall be a Business Day;

                         (C)  whether the Loan is to be a Facility A Domestic
          Loan or Facility A Canadian Loan or Facility B Loan and the Type of
          Loans comprising the Borrowing;

                         (D)  the duration of the Interest Period applicable to
          such Loans included in such notice. If the Notice of Borrowing fails
          to specify the duration of the Interest Period for any Borrowing
          comprised of Offshore Rate Loans, such Interest Period shall be three
          months; and

                         (E)  the Applicable Currency.

               (b)  The Agent will promptly notify (i) each Facility B Bank of
     its receipt of any Notice of Borrowing requesting a Borrowing of a Facility
     B Loan and the amount of such Bank's Facility B Pro Rata Share of that
     Borrowing and (ii) each Facility A Domestic Bank of its receipt of any
     Notice of Borrowing requesting a Borrowing of a Facility A Domestic Loan
     and the amount of such Bank's Facility A Pro Rata Share of that Borrowing,
     and the Canadian Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Facility A
     Canadian Bank of its receipt of any Notice of Borrowing requesting a
     Borrowing of a Facility A Canadian Loan and the amount of such Bank's
     Facility A Pro Rata Share of that Borrowing.

               (c)  The Dollar Equivalent amount of any Borrowing in Canadian
     Dollars will be determined by the Agent for such Borrowing on the
     Computation Date therefor in accordance with subsection 2.16(a).

               (d)  Each Facility A Domestic Bank or Facility B Bank, as the
     case may be, will make the amount of its Facility A Pro Rata Share or
     Facility B Pro Rata Share, as applicable, of each Borrowing of a Facility A
     Domestic Loan or Facility B Loan, as the case may be, available to the
     Agent for the account of the Company at the Agent's Payment Office on the
     Borrowing Date requested by the Company in funds immediately available to
     the Agent and in Dollars, by 11:00 a.m. (San Francisco time). Each Facility
     A Canadian Bank will make the amount of its Facility A Canadian Pro Rata
     Share of each Borrowing of a Facility A Canadian Loan available to the
     Canadian Administrative Agent for the account of Medis in Canadian Dollars
     at the Canadian Administrative Agent's Payment Office by 11:00 a.m.
     (Toronto time). The proceeds of all such Loans will then be made available

     such office by crediting the account of the applicable Borrower on the
     books of BofA or BofA Canada, as applicable, with the aggregate of the
     amounts made available to the Applicable Agent by the Banks and in like
     funds as received by the Applicable Agent.

               (e)  After giving effect to any Borrowing, there may not be more
     than ten different Interest Periods in effect.

automatically convert into Base Rate Loans, and on and after such date the right
of the Company to continue such Loans as, and convert such Loans into, Offshore
Rate Loans shall terminate; provided further, that the Company may not elect to

a Facility A Domestic Loan or Facility B Loan, shall deliver a Notice of
Conversion/Continuation to be received by the Agent not later than 9:00 a.m.
(San Francisco time) (i) three Business Days in advance of the

     Offshore Rate Loans denominated in Dollars, the Company has failed to
     select in a timely manner a new Interest Period to be applicable to such
     Offshore Rate Loans, or if any Default or Event of Default then exists, the
     Company shall be deemed to have elected to convert such Offshore Rate Loans
     into Base Rate Loans effective as of the expiration date of such Interest
     Period. If Medis has failed to select in a timely manner a new Interest
     Period to be applicable to Offshore Rate Loans prior to 11:00 a.m. (Toronto
     time) at least three Business Days in advance of the expiration date of the

               (g)  After giving effect to any conversion or continuation of
     Loans, there may not be more than ten different Interest Periods in effect.

               (h)  The Dollar Equivalent amount for any conversion to or
     continuation of a Borrowing in Canadian Dollars will be determined by the
     Agent for such conversion or continuation on the Computation Date therefor
     in accordance with subsection 2.16(a).

     reduce the Commitments, provided that any such permanent reduction shall be
     in an aggregate minimum amount of $10,000,000 or any multiple of $1,000,000
     in excess thereof; unless, after giving effect thereto and to any
                        ------
     prepayments of Loans made on the effective date thereof, the then-
     outstanding principal amount of the Facility B Loans would exceed the
     amount of the combined Facility B Commitments then in effect or the Total
     Utilization of Facility A Commitments would exceed the amount of the
     combined Facility A Commitments then in effect. Once reduced in accordance
     with this Section, the Facility A Commitments and the Facility B
     Commitments may not be increased, except as provided in Section 2.14. Any
     reduction of the Facility A Commitments shall be applied to each

of each Borrower to any Bank hereunder shall be subject to the limitation that
payments of interest shall not be required for any period for which interest is
computed hereunder, to the extent (but only to the extent) that contracting for

          2.10 Computation of Fees and Interest.
               --------------------------------

          (a)  All computations of interest for Drafts and Bankers' Acceptances
and for Base Rate Loans when the Base Rate is determined by BofA's "reference
rate" shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may
be, and actual days elapsed. All other computations of fees and interest shall
be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in
more interest being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year).
Interest and fees shall accrue during each period during which interest or such
fees are computed from the first day thereof to the last day thereof.

          (b)  Each determination of an interest rate or a Dollar Equivalent by
the Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent shall be conclusive and binding
on each Borrower and the Banks in the absence of manifest error.

          (c)  If any Reference Bank's Commitment terminates (other than on
termination of all the Commitments), or for any reason whatsoever the Reference
Bank ceases to be a Bank hereunder, that Reference Bank shall thereupon cease to
be a Reference Bank, and the Offshore Rate shall be determined on the basis of
the rates as notified by the remaining Reference Banks.

          (d)  Each Reference Bank shall use its best efforts to furnish
quotations of rates to the Agent as contemplated hereby. If any of the Reference
Banks fails to supply such rates to the Agent upon its request, the rate of
interest shall be determined on the basis of the quotations of the remaining
Reference Banks.

          (e)  For purposes of disclosure pursuant to the Interest Act (Canada),
the parties hereto acknowledge that:

               (i)  The nominal yearly rate of interest to which any rate of
     interest based on the Offshore Rate or the Canadian Prime Rate is
     equivalent may be determined by multiplying the rate otherwise determined
     hereunder by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in
     the calendar year in which the period for which interest at such rate is
     payable under this Agreement and the denominator of which is 360;

               (ii) The nominal yearly discount rate to which the Effective
     Discount Rate is equivalent may be determined by multiplying the rate
     otherwise determined hereunder by a fraction, the numerator of which is the
     number of days in the calendar year in which the Effective Discount Rate is
     applied in respect of any Drafts or Bankers' Acceptances issued under this
     Agreement and the denominator of which is 365.

               All calculations of interest or discount hereunder shall be made
     on the basis of the nominal rates of interest or discount determined
     hereunder and the parties agree that the principle of deemed reinvestment
     shall not apply.

               The parties hereto acknowledge that there is a material
     distinction between nominal and effective rates of interest or discount and
     that they are capable of making the

                                       33
<PAGE>

     calculations necessary to calculate and compare such rates. The parties
     hereto further acknowledge that any rate expressed in the definitions of
     Offshore Rate and Canadian Prime Rate shall be deemed to be expressed
     therein as a nominal rate "per annum."

          2.11 Payments by the Borrowers.
               -------------------------
          (a)  All payments to be made by each Borrower shall be made without
set-off, recoupment or counterclaim. Except as otherwise expressly provided
herein, all payments by the Company shall be made to the Agent for the account
of the Facility A Domestic Banks or the Facility B Banks, as the case may be, at
the Agent's Payment Office, and all payments by Medis shall be made to the
Canadian Administrative Agent for the account of the Facility A Canadian Banks
at the Canadian Administrative Agent's Payment Office, and, with respect to
principal of, interest on, and any other amounts relating to, any Facility A
Canadian Loan or the Bankers' Acceptance Facility, shall be made in Canadian
Dollars, and, with respect to all other amounts payable hereunder, shall be made
in Dollars. Such payments shall be made in immediately available funds, and (i)
in the case of Facility A Canadian Loan payments, no later than 12:00 noon
(Toronto time) on the dates specified herein, and (ii) in the case of any Dollar
payments, no later than 12:00 noon (San Francisco time) on the date specified
herein. The Applicable Agent will promptly distribute to each Facility A
Domestic Bank, Facility A Canadian Bank or Facility B Bank, as applicable, its
Facility A Pro Rata Share or Facility B Pro Rata Share, as applicable, (or other
applicable share as expressly provided herein) of such payment in like funds as
received. Any payment received by the Agent later than 12:00 noon (San Francisco
time), or by the Canadian Administrative Agent later than 12:00 noon (Toronto
time) shall be deemed to have been received on the following Business Day and
any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue.

          (b)  Subject to the provisions set forth in the definition of
"Interest Period" herein, whenever any payment is due on a day other than a
Business Day, such payment shall be made on the following Business Day, and such
extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of interest
or fees, as the case may be.

          (c)  Unless the Applicable Agent receives notice from a Borrower prior
to the date on which any payment is due to the Banks that such Borrower will not
make such payment in full as and when required, the Applicable Agent may assume
that such Borrower has made such payment in full to the Applicable Agent on such
date in immediately available funds and the Applicable Agent may (but shall not
be so required), in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to each Bank on
such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Bank. If and to the
extent such Borrower has not made such payment in full to the Applicable Agent,
each Bank shall repay to the Applicable Agent on demand such amount distributed
to such Bank, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Rate or, in
the case of a payment in Canadian Dollars, the Overnight Canadian Rate, for each
day from the date such amount is distributed to such Bank until the date repaid.

          2.12 Payments by the Banks to the Applicable Agent.
               ---------------------------------------------

          (a)  Unless the Applicable Agent receives notice from a Bank at least
one Business Day prior to the date of any Borrowing, that such Bank will not
make available as and when required hereunder to the Applicable Agent for the
account of the applicable Borrower the amount of that Bank's Facility A Pro Rata
Share or Facility B Pro Rata Share, as applicable, of the Borrowing, the
Applicable Agent may assume that each Bank has made such amount available to the
Applicable Agent in immediately available funds on the Borrowing Date and the
Applicable Agent may (but shall not be so required), in reliance upon such
assumption, make available to such Borrower on such date a corresponding amount.
If and to the extent any Bank shall not have made its full amount available to
the Applicable Agent in immediately available funds and the Applicable Agent in
such circumstances has made available to the applicable Borrower such amount,
that Bank shall on the Business Day following such Borrowing Date make such
amount available to the Applicable Agent, together with interest at the Federal
Funds Rate or, in the case of any Borrowing consisting of Facility A Canadian
Loans or under the Bankers' Acceptance Facility, the Overnight Canadian Rate,
for each day during such period. A notice of the Applicable Agent submitted to
any Bank with respect to amounts owing under this subsection (a) shall be
conclusive, absent manifest error. If such amount is so made available, such
payment to the Applicable Agent shall constitute such Bank's Loan on the date of
Borrowing for all purposes of this Agreement. If such amount is not made
available to the Applicable Agent on the Business Day following the Borrowing
Date, the Applicable Agent will notify the applicable Borrower of such failure
to fund and, upon demand by the Applicable Agent, such Borrower shall pay such
amount to the Applicable Agent for the Applicable Agent's account, together with
interest thereon for each day elapsed since the date of such Borrowing, at a
rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable at the time to the Loans
comprising such Borrowing.

          (b)  The failure of any Bank to make any Loan on any Borrowing Date
shall not relieve any other Bank of any obligation hereunder to make a Loan on
such Borrowing Date, but no Bank shall be responsible for the failure of any
other Bank to make the Loan to be made by such other Bank on any Borrowing Date.

          2.13 Sharing of Payments, Etc.
               ------------------------

          (a)  If, other than as expressly provided elsewhere herein, any
Facility A Bank or Facility B Bank, as the case may be, shall obtain on account
of the Loans made by it to any Borrower or the Bankers' Acceptance Facility any
payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of
set-off, or otherwise) in excess of its Facility A Pro Rata Share or Facility B
Pro Rata Share, as applicable, such Bank shall immediately (a) notify the
Applicable Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase from the other Facility A Banks
or Facility B Banks such participations in the Loans made by them to such
Borrower or Bankers' Acceptances as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing
Bank to share the excess payment pro rata with each of them; provided, however,
                                                             --------  -------
that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from
the purchasing Bank, such purchase shall to that extent be rescinded and each
other Facility A Bank or Facility B Bank, as applicable, shall repay to the
purchasing Bank the

                                       35
<PAGE>

purchase price paid therefor, together with an amount equal to such paying
Bank's ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such
paying Bank's required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the
purchasing Bank) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the
purchasing Bank in respect of the total amount so recovered; provided further
that, for purposes of this subsection 2.13(a), no Bank other than a Facility A
Canadian Bank may purchase any portion of or any interest in a Facility A
Canadian Loan or Bankers' Acceptance and no Bank other than a Facility A
Domestic Bank may purchase any portion of or any interest in a Facility A
Domestic Loan and no Bank other than a Facility B Bank may purchase any portion
of or any interest in a Facility B Loan. Each Borrower agrees that any Bank so
purchasing a participation from another Bank may, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of
set-off, but subject to Section 11.10) with respect to such participation as
fully as if such Bank were the direct creditor of such Borrower in the amount of
such participation. The Applicable Agent will keep records (which shall be
conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error) of participations
purchased under this Section and will in each case notify the Banks following
any such purchases or repayments. For purposes of this Section 2.13(a), each
Bank that has an Affiliate Bank and such Bank's Affiliate Bank shall be deemed
to be a single Bank and such Bank shall not purchase a participation in the
Loans made by its Affiliate Bank and such Bank's Affiliate Bank shall not
purchase a participation in the Loans made by its Affiliate Bank.

          (b)  (1) In the event that there has occurred and is continuing (i)
any Event of Default under subsections 9.1(a), 9.1(f) or 9.1(g) or (ii) an
acceleration of the maturity of any amounts owing to the Banks under this
Agreement, a reallocation of the outstanding Loans (and accrued but unpaid
interest thereon) and any outstanding Bankers' Acceptances that have not been
paid, the Bankers' Acceptance Facility, the Facility A Commitments and the
Facility B Commitments shall occur such that each Bank's Pro Rata Share of the
aggregate amount of the outstanding Facility A Loans (and accrued but unpaid
interest thereon), Facility B Loans (and accrued but unpaid interest thereon),
outstanding Bankers' Acceptances that have not been paid, the Bankers'
Acceptance Facility, Facility A Commitments and Facility B Commitments shall
equal the percentage obtained by dividing (x) such Bank's Exposure as of the
date of notification by (y) the sum of aggregate amount of Exposures of all
Banks;

          (2)  such reallocation of Loans (and interest), Bankers' Acceptances
and Commitments shall be deemed to be an assignment of such Loans, Bankers'
Acceptances and Commitments among the Banks pursuant to Section 11.8, and each
Bank shall execute and deliver Assignments and Acceptances (as required) to give
effect to such reallocation, and payments shall be made on any Loans or Bankers'
Acceptances deemed so assigned as contemplated by Section 3 of the applicable
Assignment and Acceptance; provided that no consent of any Borrower or Agent
                           --------
shall be requested under Section 11.8 or otherwise in connection with such
reallocation and that such reallocation shall be deemed to have accrued whether
or not any Assignment and Acceptance is delivered;

          (3)  each Bank shall identify its applicable lending office which will
be deemed to have purchased the Loans, Bankers' Acceptances and Commitments
reallocated and deemed assigned above;

                                       36
<PAGE>

          (4) for the purpose of minimizing any withholding taxes, such
reallocation of Loans, Bankers' Acceptances and Commitments and any purchase of
participations pursuant to subsection 2.13(c) shall be made to avoid, to the
maximum extent possible, (i) the reallocation of Facility A Canadian Loans or
Bankers' Acceptances to Facility A Domestic Banks or Facility B Banks, (ii) the
reallocation of Facility A Domestic Loans to Facility A Canadian Banks or
Facility B Banks and (iii) the reallocation of Facility B Loans to Facility A
Domestic Banks or Facility A Canadian Banks; provided that if a reallocation
referred to in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) shall be required in accordance with
this subsection 2.13(b), to the maximum extent possible, Facility B Loans shall
be allocated to Facility A Domestic Banks before they are reallocated to
Facility A Canadian Banks and Facility A Domestic Loans shall be reallocated to
Facility B Banks before they are reallocated to Facility A Canadian Banks; and

          (5) for purposes of determining such reallocation, the Agent shall
determine the Dollar Equivalent of all outstanding Loans and Banker's
Acceptances denominated in Canadian Dollars.

          (c)  In addition to the agreements set forth in paragraph (a) above,
the Banks each agree among themselves that if the reallocation set forth in
subsection 2.13(b) shall occur, if any of them shall, through the exercise of
the right of counterclaim, set-off, banker's lien, collection or other remedy by
Agent or otherwise, including the enforcement of rights under this Agreement, or
as adequate protection of a deposit treated as cash collateral under the
Bankruptcy Code, receive payment or reduction of a proportion of the aggregate
amount of principal and interest then due with respect to the Loans, amounts
payable in respect of such Bank's right to receive reimbursement from the
Company or Medis in respect of amounts due under or in respect of the Bankers'
Acceptance Facility (collectively, the "Aggregate Amounts Owing" to such Bank)
which is greater than the proportionate reduction of the Aggregate Amounts Owing
to any other Bank, then the Bank receiving such proportionately greater payment
shall (y) notify each other Bank and the Agent of such receipt and (z) purchase
participations (which it shall be deemed to have done simultaneously upon
receipt of any such payment) in the Aggregate Amounts Owing to the other Banks
as necessary to assure that all such recoveries and payments in respect of the
Aggregate Amounts Owing shall be ratably shared by all of the Banks as
reallocated pursuant to paragraph (b) above; provided, however, that if all or
                                             --------  -------
part of such proportionately greater payment received by such purchasing Bank is
thereafter recovered from such Bank, those purchases shall be rescinded and the
purchase prices paid for such participations shall be returned to that Bank to
the extent of such recovery, but without interest.

          2.14 Optional Increase in Commitments. At any time prior to the
               --------------------------------
Facility A Termination Date, if no Default has occurred and is continuing, the
Company shall have the option to increase the total amount of the Commitments
either by (a) increasing the Commitment of one or more Banks already party to
this Agreement or (b) adding a financial institution not a party hereto (a "New
                                                                            ---
Bank") as a party to this Agreement. The effectiveness of any such increase is
- ----
subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions:

                                       37
<PAGE>

               (i)   that the Company shall provide prompt notice of such
     increase to the Agent, who shall promptly notify the other Banks;

               (ii)  that each Bank whose Commitment is to increase shall have
     agreed to such increase by a writing addressed to the Company and to the
     Agent;

               (iii) that each New Bank shall be an Eligible Assignee;

               (iv)  that each New Bank shall have executed counterpart
     signature pages of this Agreement;

               (v)   the total Commitments, following such increase, shall not
     exceed $1,500,000,000; and

               (vi)  the total Facility A Commitments, following such increase,
     shall not exceed $700,000,000

               provided, however, that any such increase in the Commitments
               --------  -------
     shall (i) prior to the Facility B Revolving Loan Termination Date, be
     allocated between the Facility A Commitments and the Facility B Commitments
     on a pro rata basis such that the proportions of each such type of
     Commitment as a portion of the total Commitments remains unchanged from
     such proportions which exist on the date of this Agreement (i.e., 33 1/3%
     to the Facility A Commitments and 66 2/3% to the Facility B Commitments);
     and (ii) on or after the Facility B Revolving Termination Date, be
     allocated entirely to the Facility A Commitments.

               Upon any such increase in the Commitments of a Bank already party
     to this Agreement, the signature page hereto for such Bank shall be deemed
     to be amended to reflect such increase. If a New Bank becomes a party to
     this Agreement, the counterpart signatures executed by such New Bank shall
     indicate the Commitments of such New Bank. In case of any increase in
     Commitments, Schedule 2.1 shall be modified accordingly.
                  ------------

          2.15 Conversion of Facility B Loans to Term Loans.
               --------------------------------------------

          (a)  Each Facility B Bank severally agrees on the terms and conditions
set forth in this Agreement to advance to the Company (upon request of the
Company pursuant to this Agreement) on the Facility B Revolving Termination Date
an amount up to the sum of (i) the outstanding principal amount of the Facility
B Loans made by such Facility B Bank and outstanding as of the opening of
business on the Facility B Revolving Termination Date plus (ii) the amount
available to be borrowed from such Facility B Bank as of the opening of business
on the Facility B Revolving Termination Date. The aggregate of such advances is
collectively called the "Term Loans". The Term Loans will mature on the Term
Loan Maturity Date.

          (b)  The Term Loans shall be made upon the irrevocable written notice
(including notice via facsimile confirmed immediately by a telephone call) of
the Company in

                                       38
<PAGE>

the form of a Notice of Borrowing (which notice must be received by the Agent
not later than 12:00 noon (San Francisco time) not less than three Business Days
prior to the Facility B Revolving Termination Date), specifying: (A) the amount
of the Term Loans which shall be in a principal amount not more than the sum of
(i) the aggregate principal amount of the Facility B Loans which will be
outstanding as of the opening of business on the Facility B Revolving
Termination Date, plus (ii) the amount available to be borrowed from the
Facility B Banks as of the opening of business on the Facility B Revolving
Termination Date; (B) whether the Term Loans shall be comprised of Base Rate
Loans or Offshore Rate Loans, and the amounts of such advances; and (C) the
Interest Period applicable to the advances included in such notice.

          (c)  The proceeds of the Term Loans will be used to pay the principal
amount of the Facility B Revolving Loans outstanding at the time the Term Loans
are made.

          2.16 Utilization of Facility A Commitments in Canadian Dollars.
               ---------------------------------------------------------

          (a)  The Agent will determine the Dollar Equivalent amount with
respect to any (i) Borrowing comprised of Facility A Canadian Loans that are
Offshore Rate Loans as of the date which is three Business Days prior to the
requested Borrowing Date, (ii) Bankers' Acceptance or Borrowing comprised of
Facility A Canadian Loans that are Canadian Prime Rate Loans, one day prior to
the requested Borrowing Date or date of acceptance, (iii) outstanding Facility A
Canadian Loans or Bankers' Acceptances as of the last Business Day of each
month, and (iv) conversions to or continuation of Facility A Canadian Loans as
of the date the related Notice of Conversion/Continuation is received by the
Canadian Administrative Agent or, if such conversion or continuation is
performed in accordance with subsection 2.16(b) or Section 3.5, as of, in the
case of subsection 2.16(b), the date that the request by the Majority Banks is
received by the Agent or, in the case of Section 3.5, the date that the notice
by the Agent is received by the Borrower and the Banks (each such date under
clauses (i) through (iv) a "Computation Date" ).
                            ----------------

          (b)  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, during the
existence of a Default or an Event of Default, upon the request of the Majority
Banks, all or any part of any outstanding Facility A Canadian Loans consisting
of Offshore Rate Loans shall be converted into Canadian Prime Rate Loans with
effect from the last day of the Interest Period with respect to any such
Facility A Canadian Loans. The Agent will promptly notify the Company and Medis
of any such conversion request.

          2.17 Currency Exchange Fluctuations. Subject to Section 3.4, if on any
               ------------------------------
Computation Date the Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent shall have
determined that (a) the Total Utilization of Facility A Commitments exceeds the
combined Facility A Commitments of the Facility A Banks by more than $3,000,000,
or (b) the Total Utilization of Facility A Canadian Commitments exceeds the
combined Facility A Canadian Commitments of the Facility A Banks by more than
$3,000,000, in either event due to a change in applicable rates of exchange
between Dollars and Canadian Dollars, then the Agent shall give notice to the
                                      ----
Borrowers that a prepayment is required under this Section, and the Borrowers
agree thereupon to make prepayments of Loans such that, after giving effect to
such prepayment, the Total Utilization of Facility A Commitments does not exceed
the combined Facility A Commitments

                                       39
<PAGE>

and the Total Utilization of Facility A Canadian Commitments does not exceed the
combined Facility A Canadian Commitments of the Facility A Banks. No prepayment
of Loans is required pursuant to this Section 2.17 or Section 2.7 in the event
that the Total Utilization of Facility A Commitments exceeds the combined
Facility A Commitments of the Facility A Banks by $3,000,000 or less, or the
Total Utilization of Facility A Canadian Commitments exceeds the combined
Facility A Canadian Commitments of the Facility A Banks by $3,000,000 or less,
in either event due to a change in applicable rates of exchange between Dollars
and Canadian Dollars.

          2.18 Bankers' Acceptances for Medis.
               ------------------------------

          (a)  Acceptance Commitment.

          (1)  Each Facility A Canadian Bank severally agrees, on and subject to
the terms and conditions set forth herein: (i) in the case of a Facility A
Canadian Bank that is able to accept Drafts from Medis, to create acceptances
(each, a "Bankers' Acceptance") by accepting Drafts from Medis and to purchase
such Bankers' Acceptances in accordance with Section 2.18(d); and (ii) in the
case of a Facility A Canadian Bank that has participated all or any part of its
interest in the Bankers' Acceptance Facilities to a participant which is able to
accept Drafts from Medis, to arrange for the creation of Bankers' Acceptances by
such participant and for the purchase of such Bankers' Acceptances by such
participant, to the extent of such participation or assignment, in accordance
with Section 2.18(d). The Total Utilization of Facility A Commitments after any
Drawing shall not exceed the combined Facility A Commitments then in effect.

          (2)  Each Drawing shall be in an aggregate Face Amount of not less
than Cdn.$5,000,000 and in integral multiples of Cdn.$1,000,000 and shall
consist of the creation and purchase of Bankers' Acceptances or the purchase of
Drafts on the same day, effected or arranged by the Facility A Banks in
accordance with Section 2.18(d), ratably according to their respective Facility
A Pro Rata Shares.

          (3)  Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary
notwithstanding, the Bankers' Acceptance Facility and the Facility A Loan
Commitment shall be subject to the following limitations:

               (i)   The amount otherwise available for Drawing under the
     Facility A Commitment as of any time of determination shall be reduced by
     an amount equal to the sum of the outstanding Facility A Loans and the
     Acceptance Usage as of such time of determination;

               (ii)  The Total Utilization of Facility A Canadian Commitments
     shall not exceed the combined Facility A Canadian Commitments of the
     Facility A Banks; and

               (iii) The Total Utilization of Facility A Commitments shall not
     exceed the Facility A Commitments then in effect.

                                       40
<PAGE>

          (b)  Drawing Notice.

          (1)  Each Drawing shall be made on two Business Days' prior written
notice specified in relation to Bankers' Acceptances, given not later than 11:00
a.m. (Toronto time), by the Company and Medis to the Agent. Each such notice of
a Drawing (a "Drawing Notice") shall be given in substantially the form of
Exhibit G annexed hereto or by telephone confirmed promptly in writing,
containing the same information as would be contained in a Drawing Notice, and
shall specify therein (i) the Drawing Date; (ii) the aggregate Face Amount of
Drafts to be accepted; and (iii) the maturity date for such Drafts. The Canadian
Administrative Agent shall give each Facility A Canadian Bank prompt notice of
such Drawing Notice and of such Facility A Canadian Bank's ratable portion of
Drafts to be accepted under the Drawing.

          (2)  Medis shall not request in a Drawing Notice a maturity date for
Drafts which would be subsequent to the Facility A Termination Date.

          (3)  Each Drawing Notice shall be irrevocable and binding on Medis and
the Company. Medis and the Company shall indemnify each Facility A Canadian Bank
against any loss or expense incurred by such Facility A Canadian Bank as a
result of any failure by Medis to fulfill or honor before the date specified for
any Drawing, the applicable conditions set forth in this Section 2.18 or Section
4.3, if the Drawing, as a result of such failure, is not made on such date.

          (4)  Medis shall repay, and there shall become due and payable, on the
Drawing Date the principal amount of any Facility A Canadian Loans which Medis
seeks to convert, if any, in whole or in part, to Bankers' Acceptances on such
Drawing Date.

          (5)  None of the Canadian Administrative Agent, the Agent or the
Facility A Canadian Banks shall incur any liability to Medis or the Company in
acting on the telephonic notice referred to above which the Canadian
Administrative Agent, the Agent or any Facility A Canadian Bank believes in good
faith to have been given by a duly authorized officer or other person authorized
to borrow on behalf of Medis or for otherwise acting in good faith under this
Section 2.18 and upon the acceptance of Drafts or Bankers' Acceptances pursuant
to any such telephonic notice, Medis shall be liable with respect thereto as
provided herein. In the event of a conflict between the Canadian Administrative
Agent's record of the applicable terms of any Drawing and such Drawing Notice,
Canadian Administrative Agent's record shall prevail, absent manifest or
demonstrable error.

          (c)  Form of Bankers' Acceptances.

          (1) Each Draft presented by Medis shall (i) be in a minimum
denomination of Cdn $150,000, (ii) be dated the date of the Drawing; (iii)
mature and be payable by Medis (in common with all other Drafts presented in
connection with such Drawing) on a Business Day which occurs no less than seven
days nor more than 180 days after the date thereof, which term shall be
specified on the Drawing Notice presented by Medis in accordance with subsection
2.18(b)(1); (iv) be substantially in the form of Exhibit H-1 annexed hereto; and
(v) if such Draft is drawn on a Facility A Canadian Bank that is a Member, be
payable to the Clearing House.

                                       41
<PAGE>

The acceptance endorsed by a Facility A Canadian Bank on any Draft shall be
substantially in the form of Exhibit H-2 annexed hereto or such other form as
may be agreed by Medis and such Facility A Canadian Bank.

          (2)  Medis hereby renounces, and shall not claim, any days of grace
for the payment of any Bankers' Acceptances or Drafts.

          (d)  Acceptance and Purchase of Drafts.

          (1) Not later than 11:00 a.m. (Toronto time) on an applicable Drawing
Date, each Facility A Canadian Bank shall, as the case may be, (i) complete one
or more Drafts dated the date of such Drawing, with the maturity date specified
by the Company and Medis in the Drawing Notice, accept such Drafts, and purchase
the Bankers' Acceptances thereby created for the Drawing Purchase Price; and
(ii) arrange for its participant to complete one or more Drafts dated the date
of such Drawing, with the maturity date specified by Medis and the Company in
the Drawing Notice, to accept such Drafts and to purchase the Bankers'
Acceptances thereby created for the Drawing Purchase Price.

          (2)  The failure of any Facility A Canadian Bank to accept Drafts or
purchase Bankers' Acceptances or Drafts as part of any Drawing shall not relieve
such Facility A Canadian Bank of its obligation, if any, to accept Drafts and
purchase Bankers' Acceptances or Drafts hereunder, but a Facility A Canadian
Bank shall not be responsible for the failure of any other Facility A Canadian
Bank to accept Drafts or purchase Bankers' Acceptance or Drafts on the Drawing
Date for any Drawing.

          (3)  Medis shall ensure that there is delivered to each Facility A
Canadian Bank that is a Member, and such Facility A Canadian Bank is hereby
authorized to release the Bankers' Acceptance accepted by it to the Clearing
House (or its custodian or the nominee of the Clearing House or its custodian)
upon receipt of, confirmation that the Clearing House holds such Bankers'
Acceptance for the account of such Facility A Canadian Bank.

          (e)  Payment of Drawing Purchase Price.

          (1) Subject to Section 2.18(b)(4), each Facility A Canadian Bank
shall, before 12:00 noon (Toronto time) on the applicable Drawing Date, pay or
cause to be paid, the Drawing Purchase Price in respect of any Bankers'
Acceptances which such Facility A Canadian Bank has purchased or arranged to
have purchased pursuant to Section 2.18(d)(1) by depositing or causing to be
deposited such amount to such account maintained by the Canadian Administrative
Agent at BofA Canada as shall have been notified to such Facility A Canadian
Bank by the Canadian Administrative Agent, in Canadian Dollars in same day
funds. Promptly upon receipt of such funds, the Canadian Administrative Agent
shall make such funds available to Medis by debiting such account (or causing
such account to be debited), and by crediting Medis' account, as to which Medis
shall have notified the Canadian Administrative Agent prior thereto, maintained
by the Canadian Administrative Agent at BofA Canada with like funds in the
aggregate amount of such funds.

                                       42
<PAGE>

          (2)  Bankers' Acceptances purchased by a Facility A Canadian Bank or
its participant hereunder may be held by such Facility A Canadian Bank or such
participant, as the case may be, for its own account until maturity or sold by
it at any time prior thereto in any relevant market therefor in Canada, in such
Facility A Bank's or its participant's sole discretion.

          (f)  Effective Discount Rate Determination. The Canadian
Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice to the Company and Medis of the
Effective Discount Rate and the Drawing Fee Rate determined by the Canadian
Administrative Agent for an applicable Drawing Date. Promptly upon request of
either Borrower, the Canadian Administrative Agent shall provide such Borrower
an indicative Effective Discount Rate, which rate shall not be binding on the
Canadian Administrative Agent, the Agent or the Banks for purposes of any
Drawing or acceptance of Drafts.

          (g)  Payment at Maturity.

          (1) Medis shall pay to the Canadian Administrative Agent, and there
shall become due and payable, at 12:00 noon (Toronto time) on the maturity date
for each Bankers' Acceptance an amount in Canadian Dollars in same day funds
equal to the Face Amount of such Bankers' Acceptance. Medis shall make each
payment hereunder in respect of Bankers' Acceptances by deposit of the required
funds to the Canadian Administrative Agent at the Canada Administrative Agent's
Payment Office. Upon receipt of such payment, the Canadian Administrative Agent
will promptly thereafter cause such payment to be distributed in like funds in
payment of Bankers' Acceptances ratably (based on the proportion that the
aggregate Face Amount of Bankers' Acceptances held by any Facility A Canadian
Bank or any participant thereof maturing on the relevant date bears to the
aggregate Face Amount of Bankers' Acceptances accepted or held by all Facility A
Canadian Banks or any participants or assignees thereof maturing on such date)
to Facility A Canadian Banks for their account and for the account of any
participant, to the extent of and in accordance with their participation. Such
payment to the Canadian Administrative Agent shall satisfy Medis' obligations
under any Bankers' Acceptances to which it relates and each Facility A Canadian
Bank that has accepted such Bankers' Acceptances shall thereafter be solely
responsible for the payment of such Bankers' Acceptances and shall indemnify and
hold Medis harmless against any liabilities, costs or expenses incurred by Medis
as a result of any failure by such Facility A Canadian Bank or such participant
to pay such Bankers' Acceptance in accordance with its terms.

          (2)  If Medis fails to pay any Bankers' Acceptance when due, or to
convert or renew the Face Amount of such Bankers' Acceptance pursuant to Section
2.18(i), the unpaid amount due and payable in respect thereof shall be converted
as of such date, and without any necessity for Medis to give a Notice of
Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.3, to, and thereafter be outstanding as,
a Canadian Prime Rate Loan made by, Facility A Canadian Banks and shall bear
interest calculated and payable as provided in Section 2.8.

          (h)  Presigned Draft Forms. To enable the Facility A Banks to create
Bankers' Acceptances or complete Drafts in the manner specified in this Section
2.18, Medis shall supply each Facility A Canadian Bank with such number of
Drafts as such Facility A Canadian Bank

                                       43
<PAGE>

may reasonably request, duly endorsed and executed on behalf of Medis by any one
or more of its authorized officers. Each Facility A Canadian Bank shall exercise
such care in the custody and safekeeping of Drafts as it would exercise in the
custody and safekeeping of similar property owned by it. Each Facility A
Canadian Bank will, upon request by Medis, promptly advise Medis of the number
and designations, if any, of the uncompleted Drafts then held by it. The
signatures of such officers may be mechanically reproduced in facsimile and
Drafts and Bankers' Acceptances bearing such facsimile signatures shall be
binding upon Medis as if they had been manually signed by such officers.
Notwithstanding that any of the individuals whose manual or facsimile signature
appears on any Draft or Bankers' Acceptance as one of such officers may no
longer hold office at the date thereof or at the date of its acceptance by a
Facility A Canadian Bank or a participant hereunder or at any time thereafter,
any Draft or Bankers' Acceptance so signed shall be valid and binding upon
Medis.

         (i)  Conversion or Renewal of Bankers' Acceptances. Upon the maturity
of a Bankers' Acceptance, the Company and Medis may elect to (i) renew such
Bankers' Acceptance, by giving a Drawing Notice in accordance with Section
2.18(b)(1); or (ii) have all or a portion of the Face Amount of such Bankers'
Acceptance converted to an Offshore Rate Loan or Canadian Prime Rate Loan, by
giving a Notice of Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.3. If the Bankers'
Acceptances to be converted cannot be converted into an Offshore Rate Loan or
Canadian Prime Rate Loan in an aggregate amount which may be made as an Offshore
Rate Loan or Canadian Prime Rate Loan, as the case may be, under this Agreement,
then the amount which cannot be so converted shall be repaid to the Canadian
Administrative Agent for distribution to the Facility A Canadian Banks in
accordance with Section 2.18(g) on the date of such conversion.

          (j)  Circumstances Making Bankers' Acceptances Unavailable.

          (1)  If the Canadian Administrative Agent determines in good faith,
which determination shall be final, conclusive and binding upon Medis and the
Company, and notifies Medis that, by reason of circumstances affecting the money
market (i) there is no market for Bankers' Acceptances; or (ii) the demand for
Bankers' Acceptances is insufficient to allow the sale or trading of the
Bankers' Acceptances created and purchased hereunder; then,

               (i)  the right of the Company and Medis to request a Drawing
     shall be suspended until the Canadian Administrative Agent determines that
     the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist and the Canadian
     Administrative Agent so notifies Medis; and

               (ii) any Drawing Notice which is outstanding shall be cancelled
     and the Drawing requested therein shall not be made.

          (2)  The Canadian Administrative Agent shall promptly notify Medis and
the Agent of the suspension of Medis' right to request a Drawing and of the
termination of any such suspension.

                                       44
<PAGE>

          (k)  Prepayments. Except as required or permitted by Article IX or
Section 2.7, no repayment of a Bankers' Acceptance shall be made by Medis to a
Facility A Canadian Bank prior to the maturity date thereof. Any such repayment,
made as required by Article IX or Section 2.7, shall be made (unless such
repayment has been rescinded or otherwise is required to be returned by such
Facility A Canadian Bank to Medis for any reason) in accordance with the
provisions of Section 2.18(g)(1). Any such payment by Medis to the Canadian
Administrative Agent shall satisfy Medis' obligations under the Bankers'
Acceptance to which it relates and, in the case of a Bankers' Acceptance which
has been accepted by a Facility A Canadian Bank or its participant, such
Facility A Canadian Bank or such participant shall thereafter be solely
responsible for the payment of such Bankers' Acceptance and shall indemnify and
hold Medis harmless against any liabilities, costs or expenses incurred by Medis
as a result of any failure by such Facility A Canadian Bank or such participant
to pay such Bankers' Acceptance in accordance with its terms.

          2.19 Replacement of a Bank. If either Borrower receives a notice of
               ---------------------
amounts due pursuant to subsection 3.3(a), subsection 3.3(b) or subsection
3.3(c) from a Bank or a Bank defaults in its obligations hereunder (any such
Bank, a "Subject Bank"), so long as (i) no Event of Default shall have occurred
and be continuing and the Company has obtained a commitment from another Bank or
an Eligible Assignee to purchase at par the Subject Bank's Loans and assume the
Subject Bank's Commitments and all other obligations of the Subject Bank
hereunder and (ii) the Subject Bank is unwilling to remedy its default or
withdraw its notice, upon 10 days' prior written notice to the Subject Bank and
the Agent, the Company may require the Subject Bank to assign all of its Loans
and Commitments to such other Bank or Eligible Assignee pursuant to the
provisions of Section 11.8; provided that, prior to or concurrently with such
replacement (i) each Borrower has paid to the Subject Bank all amounts under
Article III through such date of replacement, (ii) Company or the applicable
assignee have paid to Administrative Agent the processing fee required to be
paid by Section 11.8 and (iii) all of the requirements for such assignment
contained in Section 11.8, including, without limitation, the consent of the
Agent (if required) and the receipt by the Agent of an executed Assignment
Agreement and other supporting documents, have been fulfilled.

                                  ARTICLE III

                    TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY

          3.1  Taxes.
               -----

          (a)  Any and all payments by each Borrower to each Bank or the
Applicable Agent under this Agreement and any other Loan Document shall be made
free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for any Taxes. In
addition, the Borrowers jointly and severally shall pay all Other Taxes.

          (b)  Each Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Bank and
each of the Agents for the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes (including any
Taxes or Other Taxes

                                       45
<PAGE>

imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section) paid by the
Bank or any of the Agents and any liability (including penalties, interest,
additions to tax and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto,
whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted.
Payment under this indemnification shall be made within 30 days after the date
the Bank or any of the Agents makes written demand therefor.

          (c)  If any Borrower shall be required by law to deduct or withhold
any Taxes or Other Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to any
Bank or any of the Agents, then:

               (i)   the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that
     after making all required deductions and withholdings (including deductions
     and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section)
     such Bank or such of the Agents, as the case may be, receives an amount
     equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or
     withholdings been made;

               (ii)  such Borrower shall make such deductions and withholdings;

               (iii) such Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted or
     withheld to the relevant taxing authority or other authority in accordance
     with applicable law; and

               (iv)  such Borrower shall also pay to such Bank or such Agent at
     the time the sum payable is paid, all additional amounts which the Bank or
     Agent specifies as necessary to preserve the after-tax yield the Bank or
     Agent would have received if such Taxes or Other Taxes had not been
     imposed.

          (d)  Within 30 days after the date of any payment by a Borrower of
Taxes or Other Taxes, such Borrower shall furnish the Agent the original or a
certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof, or other evidence of
payment satisfactory to the Agent.

          (e)  If a Borrower is required to pay additional amounts to any Bank
or any of the Agents pursuant to this Section 3.1, then such Bank shall use
reasonable efforts (consistent with legal and regulatory restrictions) to take
such actions as are necessary to minimize such Borrower's obligations under this
Article III, including without limitation, changing the jurisdiction of its
Lending Office so as to eliminate any such additional payment by such Borrower
which may thereafter accrue, if such actions in the sole judgment of such Bank
are not otherwise disadvantageous to such Bank.

          (f)  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.1,
neither Borrower shall be required to compensate an Assignee or Participant of a
Loan or Bankers' Acceptance for withholding taxes, if at the time of such
assignment (i) the assigning Bank was not subject to withholding taxes in
respect of any amount in respect of the Loans or Bankers' Acceptances and (ii)
the Assignee or Participant was subject to withholding taxes at the time of such
assignment in respect of such amount. In addition, notwithstanding anything to
the contrary in this Section 3.1, in no event shall any Borrower be required to
compensate a Bank or a participant of a Bankers' Acceptance as contemplated in
subsection 2.18 for withholding taxes

                                       46
<PAGE>

under this Section 3.1 if such withholding tax results from a participation as
contemplated in subsection 2.18.

          (g)  Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of
either Borrower hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Borrowers
contained in this Section 3.1 shall survive the payment in full of principal and
interest hereunder and under any instrument delivered hereunder.

          3.2  Illegality.
               ----------

          (a)  If any Bank determines that the introduction of any Requirement
of Law, or any change in any Requirement of Law, or in the interpretation or
administration of any Requirement of Law, has made it unlawful, or that any
central bank or other Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful,
for any Bank or its applicable Lending Office to make Offshore Rate Loans
(including Offshore Rate Loans in Canadian Dollars), then, on notice thereof by
the Bank to the Borrowers through the Agent, any obligation of that Bank to make
Offshore Rate Loans shall be suspended until the Bank notifies the Agent and the
Borrowers that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer
exist.

          (b)  If a Bank determines that it is unlawful to maintain any Offshore
Rate Loan, the applicable Borrower shall, upon its receipt of notice of such
fact and demand from such Bank (with a copy to the Agent), either, (A)(i) in the
case of the Company, convert in full such Offshore Rate Loans into Loans of
another Type and (ii) in the case of Facility A Canadian Loans to Medis, convert
in full such Offshore Rate Loans into Canadian Prime Rate Loans or (B) prepay in
full such Offshore Rate Loans of that Bank then outstanding, together with
interest accrued thereon (in the case of a prepayment) and amounts required
under Section 3.4, either on the last day of the Interest Period thereof, if the
Bank may lawfully continue to maintain such Offshore Rate Loans to such day, or
immediately, if the Bank may not lawfully continue to maintain such Offshore
Rate Loan. If the applicable Borrower prepays any Offshore Rate Loan as provided
in the preceding sentence, then concurrently with such prepayment, such Borrower
shall borrow from the affected Bank, in the amount of such repayment, (i) a Base
Rate Loan in the case of the Company and (ii) a Canadian Prime Rate Loan, in the
case of Medis.

          3.3  Increased Costs and Reduction of Return.
               ---------------------------------------

          (a)  If any Bank determines that, due to either (i) the introduction
of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation (other
than any change by way of imposition of or increase in reserve requirements
included in the calculation of the Offshore Rate or in respect of the assessment
rate payable by any Bank to the FDIC for insuring U.S. deposits or any change
introduced prior to the Closing Date) or (ii) the compliance by that Bank with
any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority
(whether or not having the force of law) (other than any guideline or request
introduced prior to the Closing Date), there shall be any increase in the cost
to such Bank of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining any Offshore
Rate Loans, then the applicable Borrower shall be liable for, and shall from
time to time, upon demand (with a copy of such demand to be sent to the Agent),
pay to the Applicable Agent for the account of such Bank, additional amounts as
are

                                       47
<PAGE>

sufficient to compensate such Bank for such increased costs; provided that no
                                                             --------
Bank shall be entitled to obtain compensation with respect to any period prior
to six (6) months prior to making such demand.

          (b)  If the introduction of or any change (including, without
limitation, any change by way of imposition or increase of reserve requirements)
in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation, or the compliance with any
guideline or request imposed or made from any central bank or other governmental
authority or quasi-governmental authority exercising control over banks or
financial institutions generally (whether or not having the force of law) any
reserve (including, without limitation, any reserve requirement imposed under
the Bank Act (Canada) or the Regulations thereunder), special deposit or similar
requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit
extended by, any Facility A Canadian Bank's applicable lending office shall be
imposed on or deemed applicable or any other condition affecting Drafts or
Bankers' Acceptances or such Facility A Canadian Bank's obligation to accept
Drafts shall be imposed on such Facility A Canadian Bank or its applicable
lending office, in any such case after the Closing Date; and, as a result
thereof, there shall be any increase in the cost to such Facility A Canadian
Bank of agreeing to accept or accepting, funding or maintaining Drafts or
Bankers' Acceptances, or there shall be a reduction in the amount received or
receivable by such Facility A Canadian Bank or its applicable lending office,
then Medis shall from time to time, upon written notice from and demand by such
Facility A Canadian Bank (with a copy of such notice to the Company, the
Canadian Administrative Agent and the Agent), pay to the Canadian Administrative
Agent, for the account of such Facility A Canadian Bank, within five (5)
Business Days after the date specified in such notice and demand, additional
amounts sufficient to indemnify such Facility A Canadian Bank against such
increased cost; provided, however, that neither Borrower shall have any
                --------  -------
liability to a Facility A Canadian Bank under this subsection 3.3(b) with
respect to the imposition of any withholding tax to the extent Borrowers are not
required to make payments to such Facility A Canadian Bank with respect to the
imposition of such withholding tax under Section 3.1; provided further that a
                                                      -------- -------
Facility A Canadian Bank shall not be entitled to avail itself of the benefit of
this subsection 3.3(b) to the extent that any such increased cost or reduction
was incurred more than six (6) months prior to the time it gives notice to
Medis. A certificate as to the amount of such increased cost submitted to Medis,
the Company, the Canadian Administrative Agent and the Agent by a Facility A
Canadian Bank, shall, except for manifest or demonstrable error, be final,
conclusive and binding for all purposes.

          (c)  If any Bank shall have determined that (i) the introduction of
any Capital Adequacy Regulation, (ii) any change in any Capital Adequacy
Regulation, (iii) any change in the interpretation or administration of any
Capital Adequacy Regulation by any central bank or other Governmental Authority
charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or (iv) compliance by
the Bank (or its Lending Office) or any corporation controlling the Bank with
any Capital Adequacy Regulation, in any such case, after the Closing Date,
affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be
maintained by the Bank or any corporation controlling the Bank and (taking into
consideration such Bank's or such corporation's policies with respect to capital
adequacy and such Bank's desired return on capital) determines that the amount
of such capital is increased as a consequence of its Commitments, loans, credits

                                       48
<PAGE>

or obligations under this Agreement, then, upon demand of such Bank to the
applicable Borrower through the Applicable Agent, such Borrower shall pay to the
Bank, from time to time as specified by the Bank, additional amounts sufficient
to compensate the Bank for such increase; provided no Bank shall be entitled to
                                          --------
receive additional amounts with respect to any period prior to six (6) months
prior to making such demand.

          3.4   Funding Losses. Each Borrower shall reimburse each bank and hold
                ---------------
each Bank harmless from any loss or expense which the Bank may sustain or incur
as a consequence of:

          (a)  the failure of such Borrower to make on a timely basis any
payment of principal of any Offshore Rate Loan;

          (b)  the failure of such Borrower to borrow, continue or convert a
Loan after the Company has, or the Company and Medis have, as the case may be
given, (or is/are deemed to have given) a Notice of Borrowing or a Notice of
Conversion/Continuation;

          (c)  the failure of such Borrower to make any prepayment in accordance
with any notice delivered under Section 2.6;

          (d)  the prepayment or other payment (including after acceleration
thereof) of an Offshore Rate Loan on a day that is not the last day of the
relevant Interest Period; or

          (e)  the automatic conversion under Section 2.4 of any Offshore Rate
Loan to a Base Rate Loan or Canadian Prime Rate Loan on a day that is not the
last day of the relevant Interest Period;

including any such loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment
of funds obtained by such Bank to maintain its Offshore Rate Loans or from fees
payable by such Bank to terminate the deposits from which such funds were
obtained or from charges relating to any Loans. For purposes of calculating
amounts payable by the Company to the Banks under this Section and under
subsection 3.3(a), each Offshore Rate Loan made by a Bank (and each related
reserve, special deposit or similar requirement) shall be conclusively deemed to
have been funded at the LIBOR used in determining the Offshore Rate for such
Offshore Rate Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the interbank
eurodollar market for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether
or not such Offshore Rate Loan is in fact so funded.

          3.5  Inability to Determine Rates. If the Agent determines that for
               ----------------------------
any reason adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the
Offshore Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed
Offshore Rate Loan, or that the Offshore Rate applicable pursuant to subsection
2.8(a) for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Offshore
Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Banks of
funding such Loan, the Agent will promptly so notify the applicable Borrower and
each Bank. Thereafter, the obligation of the Banks to make or maintain Offshore
Rate Loans hereunder shall be suspended until the Agent revokes such notice in
writing. Upon receipt of such notice, the

                                       49
<PAGE>

applicable Borrower may revoke any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of
Conversion/Continuation previously submitted by such Borrower. If the applicable
Borrower does not revoke such Notice, the Banks shall make, convert or continue
the Loans, as proposed by such Borrower, in the amount specified in the
applicable notice submitted by such Borrower, but such Loans shall be made,
converted or continued as (i) Base Rate Loans in the case of Facility A Domestic
Loans or Facility B Loans and (ii) Canadian Prime Rate Loans in the case of
Facility A Canadian Loans instead of Offshore Rate Loans, as the case may be.

          3.6  Certificates of Banks. Any Bank claiming reimbursement or
               ---------------------
compensation under this Article III shall deliver to the Company and the
applicable Borrower (with a copy to the Agent) a certificate setting forth in
reasonable detail the amount payable to the Bank hereunder and such certificate
shall be conclusive and binding on the Company in the absence of manifest error.

          3.7  Survival. The agreements and obligations of the Borrowers in this
               --------
Article III shall survive the payment of all other Obligations.

                                  ARTICLE IV

                             CONDITIONS PRECEDENT

          4.1  Conditions of Initial Loans. The obligation of each Bank to make
               ---------------------------

                                 ARTICLE VIII

                 THE COMPANY'S GUARANTY OF MEDIS' OBLIGATIONS

          8.1  Guaranty of the Guarantied Obligations. The Company hereby
               --------------------------------------
irrevocably and unconditionally guaranties, as primary obligor and not merely as
surety, the due and punctual payment in full of all Guarantied Obligations when
the same shall become due, whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment,
declaration, acceleration, demand or otherwise (including amounts that would
become due but for the operation of the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of
the Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. (S) 362(a)). The term "Guarantied Obligations" is
used herein in its most comprehensive sense and includes:

          (a)  any and all Obligations of Medis now or hereafter made, incurred
or created, whether absolute or contingent, liquidated or unliquidated, whether
due or not due, and however arising under or in connection with this Agreement,
the Notes and Drafts issued by Medis and the other Loan Documents, including
those arising under successive borrowing transactions under this Agreement which
shall either continue the Obligations of Medis or from time to time renew them
after they have been satisfied; and

          (b)  those expenses set forth in Section 8.8 hereof.

          8.2  Liability of the Company Absolute. The Company agrees that its
               ---------------------------------
obligations under this Guaranty are irrevocable, absolute, independent and
unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance which constitutes a
legal or equitable discharge of a guarantor or surety other than indefeasible
payment in full of the Guarantied Obligations. In furtherance of the foregoing
and without limiting the generality thereof, Guarantor agrees as follows:

          (a)  This Guaranty is a guaranty of payment when due and not of
collectibility.

          (b)  The Agent may enforce this Guaranty upon the occurrence of an
Event of Default under this Agreement notwithstanding the existence of any
dispute between Banks and any Borrower with respect to the existence of such
Event of Default.

          (c)  The obligations of the Company under this Guaranty are
independent of the obligations of Medis under the Loan Documents and the
obligations of any other guarantor of the obligations of Medis under the Loan
Documents, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted
against the Company whether or not any action is brought against Medis or any of
such other guarantors and whether or not Medis is joined in any such action or
actions.

          (d)  The Company's payment of a portion, but not all, of the
Guarantied Obligations shall in no way limit, affect, modify or abridge the
Company's liability for any portion of the Guarantied Obligations which has not
been paid. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if the Agent is
awarded a judgment in any suit brought to enforce the Company's covenant to pay
a portion of the Guarantied Obligations, such judgment shall not be

                                       62
<PAGE>

deemed to release the Company from its covenant to pay the portion of the
Guarantied Obligations that is not the subject of such suit.

          (e)  Any Agent or any Bank, upon such terms as it deems appropriate,
without notice or demand and without affecting the validity or enforceability of
this Guaranty or giving rise to any reduction, limitation, impairment, discharge
or termination of the Company's liability under this Guaranty, from time to time
may (i) renew, extend, accelerate, increase the rate of interest on, or
otherwise change the time, place, manner or terms of payment of the Guarantied
Obligations, (ii) settle, compromise, release or discharge, or accept or refuse
any offer of performance with respect to, or substitutions for, the Guarantied
Obligations or any agreement relating thereto and/or subordinate the payment of
the same to the payment of any other obligations; (iii) request and accept other
guaranties of the Guarantied Obligations and take and hold security for the
payment of this Guaranty or the Guarantied Obligations; (iv) release, surrender,
exchange, substitute, compromise, settle, rescind, waive, alter, subordinate or
modify, with or without consideration, any security for payment of the
Guarantied Obligations, any other guaranties of the Guarantied Obligations, or
any other obligation of any Person with respect to the Guarantied Obligations;
(v) enforce and apply any security now or hereafter held by or for the benefit
of the Agents or any Bank in respect of this Guaranty or the Guarantied
Obligations and direct the order or manner of sale thereof, or exercise any
other right or remedy that the Agents or the Banks, or any of them, may have
against any such security, as the Agent in its discretion may determine
consistent with this Agreement and any applicable security agreement, including
foreclosure on any such security pursuant to one or more judicial or nonjudicial
sales, whether or not every aspect of any such sale is commercially reasonable,
and even though such action operates to impair or extinguish any right of
reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of the Company against
Medis or any security for the Guarantied Obligations; and (vi) exercise any
other rights available to it under the Loan Documents. This subsection 8.2(e)
shall not modify Section 11.1.

          (f)  This Guaranty and the obligations of the Company hereunder shall
be valid and enforceable and shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation,
impairment, discharge or termination for any reason (other than indefeasible
payment in full of the Guarantied Obligations), including without limitation the
occurrence of any of the following, whether or not the Company shall have had
notice or knowledge of any of them: (i) any failure or omission to assert or
enforce or agreement or election not to assert or enforce, or the stay or
enjoining, by order of court, by operation of law or otherwise, of the exercise
or enforcement of, any claim or demand or any right, power or remedy (whether
arising under the Loan Documents, at law, in equity or otherwise) with respect
to the Guarantied Obligations or any agreement relating thereto, or with respect
to any other guaranty of or security for the payment of the Guarantied
Obligations; (ii) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of, or any
consent to departure from, any of the terms or provisions (including without
limitation provisions relating to events of default) of this Agreement, any of
the other Loan Documents or any agreement or instrument executed pursuant
thereto, or of any other guaranty or security for the Guarantied Obligations, in
each case whether or not in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or such
Loan Document or any agreement relating to such other guaranty or security;
(iii) the Guarantied Obligations, or any agreement relating thereto, at any time
being found to be illegal, invalid or

                                       63
<PAGE>

unenforceable in any respect; (iv) the application of payments received from any
source (other than payments received pursuant to the other Loan Documents or
from the proceeds of any security for the Guarantied Obligations, except to the
extent such security also serves as collateral for indebtedness other than the
Guarantied Obligations) to the payment of indebtedness other than the Guarantied
Obligations, even though the Agents or the Banks, or any of them, might have
elected to apply such payment to any part or all of the Guarantied Obligations;
(v) any Bank's or Agent's consent to the change, reorganization or termination
of the corporate structure or existence of the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries and to any corresponding restructuring of the Guarantied
Obligations; (vi) any failure to perfect or continue perfection of a security
interest in any collateral which secures any of the Guarantied Obligations;
(vii) any defenses, set-offs or counterclaims which Medis may allege or assert
against any Agent or any Bank in respect of the Guarantied Obligations,
including but not limited to failure of consideration, breach of warranty,
payment, statute of frauds, statute of limitations, accord and satisfaction and
usury; and (viii) any other act or thing or omission, or delay to do any other
act or thing, which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of
the Company as an obligor in respect of the Guarantied Obligations.

          8.3  Waivers by Guarantor. The Company hereby waives with respect to
               --------------------
the Guarantied Obligations, for the benefit of the Banks and the Agents:

          (a)  any right to require any Agent or any Bank, as a condition of
payment or performance by the Company, to (i) proceed against Medis, any other
guarantor of the Guarantied Obligations or any other Person, (ii) proceed
against or exhaust any security held from Medis, any other guarantor of the
Guarantied Obligations or any other Person, (iii) proceed against or have resort
to any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of any Agent or any
Bank in favor of Medis or any other Person, or (iv) pursue any other remedy in
the power of any Agent or any Bank whatsoever;

          (b)  any defense arising by reason of the incapacity, lack of
authority or any disability or other defense of Medis including, without
limitation, any defense based on or arising out of the lack of validity or the
unenforceability of the Guarantied Obligations or any agreement or instrument
relating thereto or by reason of the cessation of the liability of Medis from
any cause other than indefeasible payment in full of the Guarantied Obligations;

          (c)  any defense based upon any statute or rule of law which provides
that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in other
respects more burdensome than that of the principal;

          (d)  any defense based upon any Agent's or any Bank's errors or
omissions in the administration of the Guarantied Obligations, except behavior
which amounts to bad faith;

          (e)  (i) any principles or provisions of law, statutory or otherwise,
which are or might be in conflict with the terms of this Guaranty and any legal
or equitable discharge of the Company's obligations hereunder, (ii) the benefit
of any statute of limitations affecting the Company's liability hereunder or the
enforcement hereof, (iii) any rights to set-offs, recoupments and counterclaims,
and (iv) promptness, diligence and any requirement that any Agent or any

                                       64
<PAGE>

Bank protect, secure, perfect or insure any security interest or lien or any
property subject thereto;

          (f)  notices, demands, presentments, protests, notices of protest,
notices of dishonor and notices of any action or inaction, including acceptance
of this Guaranty, notices of default under this Agreement or any agreement or
instrument related thereto, notices of any renewal, extension or modification of
the Guarantied Obligations or any agreement related thereto, notices of any
extension of credit to Medis and notices of any of the matters referred to in
Section 8.2 and any right to consent to any thereof; and

          (g)  any defenses or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by
law which limit the liability of or exonerate guarantors or sureties, or which
may conflict with the terms of this Guaranty, including without limitation the
provisions of California Civil Code Sections 2809, 2810, 2819, 2839, 2845, 2846,
2850, 2899 and 3433.

          8.4  Payment by the Company; Application of Payments. The Company
               -----------------------------------------------
hereby agrees, in furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any
other right which the Agent or any other Person may have at law or in equity
against the Company by virtue hereof, that upon the failure of Medis to pay any
of the Guarantied Obligations when and as the same shall become due, whether at
stated maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, acceleration, demand or
otherwise (including amounts that would become due but for the operation of the
automatic stay under Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. (S)
362(a)), the Company will upon demand pay, or cause to be paid, in cash, to the
Agent for the ratable benefit of the Banks holding the Guarantied Obligations,
an amount equal to the sum of the unpaid principal amount of all Guarantied
Obligations then due as aforesaid, accrued and unpaid interest on such
Guarantied Obligations (including, without limitation, interest which, but for
the filing of a petition in bankruptcy with respect to Medis, would have accrued
on such Guarantied Obligations, whether or not a claim is allowed against Medis
for such interest in any such bankruptcy proceeding) and all other Guarantied
Obligations then owed to the Agent and/or the Banks as aforesaid. All such
payments shall be applied promptly from time to time by the Agent:

               First, to the payment of the costs and expenses of any collection
               -----
          or other realization under this Guaranty, including reasonable
          compensation to the Agent and its agents and counsel, and all
          expenses, liabilities and advances made or incurred by the Agent in
          connection therewith;

               Second, to the payment of all other Guarantied Obligations to
               ------
          each Bank holding Guarantied Obligations its applicable share as
          provided in this Agreement; and

               Third, after payment in full of all Guarantied Obligations, to
               -----
          the payment to the Company, or its successors or assigns, or to
          whosoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same or as a court
          of competent jurisdiction may direct, of any surplus then remaining
          from such payments.

                                       65
<PAGE>

          8.5  Guarantor's Rights of Subrogation, Contribution, Etc. Until the
               ----------------------------------------------------
Guarantied Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full and the
Facility A Commitments shall have terminated, the Company shall withhold
exercise of (a) any claim, right or remedy, direct or indirect, the Company now
has or may hereafter have against Medis or any of its assets in connection with
this Guaranty or the performance by the Company of its obligations hereunder, in
each case whether such claim, right or remedy arises in equity, under contract,
by statute (including without limitation under California Civil Code Section
2847, 2848 or 2849), under common law or otherwise and including without
limitation (i) any right of subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification that
the Company now has or may hereafter have against Medis, (ii) any right to
enforce, or to participate in, any claim, right or remedy that any Agent or any
Bank now has or may hereafter have against Medis, and (iii) any benefit of, and
any right to participate in, any collateral or security now or hereafter held by
any Agent or any Bank, and (b) any right of contribution the Company may have
against any other guarantor of the Guarantied Obligations (including without
limitation any such right of contribution under California Civil Code Section
2848). The Company further agrees that, to the extent the agreement to withhold
the exercise of its rights of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification and
contribution as set forth herein is found by a court of competent jurisdiction
to be void or voidable for any reason, any rights of subrogation, reimbursement
or indemnification the Company may have against Medis or against any collateral
or security, and any rights of contribution the Company may have against any
such other guarantor, shall be junior and subordinate to any rights any Agent or
any Bank may have against Medis, to all right, title and interest any Agent or
any Bank may have in any such collateral or security, and to any right any Agent
or any Bank may have against such other guarantor. Each Agent, on behalf of
Banks, may use, sell or dispose of any item of collateral or security as it sees
fit without regard to any subrogation rights the Company may have, and upon any
such disposition or sale any rights of subrogation against such collateral the
Company may have shall terminate. If any amount shall be paid to Guarantor on
account of any such subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification rights at any
time when all Guarantied Obligations shall not have been paid in full, such
amount shall be held in trust for the Agent on behalf of the Banks and shall
forthwith be paid over to the Agent for the benefit of the Banks to be credited
and applied against the Guarantied Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in
accordance with the terms hereof.

          8.6  Subordination of Other Obligations. Any indebtedness of Medis now
               ----------------------------------
or hereafter held by the Company is hereby subordinated in right of payment to
the Guarantied Obligations, and any such indebtedness of Medis to the Company
collected or received by the Company after an Event of Default has occurred and
is continuing shall be held in trust for the Agent on behalf of the Banks and
shall forthwith be paid over to the Agent for the benefit of the Banks to be
credited and applied against the Guarantied Obligations but without affecting,
impairing or limiting in any manner the liability of the Company under any other
provision of this Guaranty.

          8.7  Real Property Security. The Company agrees that, if all or a
               ----------------------
portion of the Guarantied Obligations or any other guaranty of all or a portion
of the Guarantied Obligations are at any time secured by a deed of trust or
mortgage covering interests in real property, the Agent or its designee, in its
sole discretion, without notice or demand and without

                                       66
<PAGE>

affecting the liability of the Company, may foreclose, pursuant to the terms of
the Loan Documents or otherwise, on any such deed of trust or mortgage and the
property described therein by nonjudicial or other sale. Without limiting any of
the waivers contained elsewhere herein, the Company hereby waives any defense to
liability arising by reason of the exercise by the Banks or the Agent, or any of
them, of any right or remedy contained in any such deed of trust or mortgage or
any of the other Loan Documents. The Company waives all rights and defenses
arising out of an election of remedies by the Banks or the Agent, even though
the election of remedies, such as a nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to
security for a Guaranteed Obligation, has destroyed the Company's rights of
subrogation and reimbursement against Medis by the operation of Section 580d of
the California Code of Civil Procedure or otherwise.

          8.8  Expenses. The Company agrees to pay, or cause to be paid, on
               --------
demand, and to save the Agent and the Banks harmless against liability for, any
and all reasonable costs and expenses (including fees and disbursements of
counsel and allocated costs of internal counsel) incurred or expended by the
Agent or any Bank in connection with the enforcement of or preservation of any
rights under this Guaranty.

          8.9  Continuing Guaranty; Termination of Guaranty. This Guaranty is a
               --------------------------------------------
continuing guaranty and shall remain in effect until all of the Guarantied
Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full and the Facility A
Commitments shall have terminated. The Company hereby irrevocably waives any
right (including without limitation any such right arising under California
Civil Code Section 2815) to revoke this Guaranty as to future transactions
giving rise to any Guarantied Obligations.

          8.10 Authority of the Company or Medis. It is not necessary for any
               ---------------------------------
Bank or any Agent to inquire into the capacity or powers of Medis or the
officers, directors or any agents acting or purporting to act on behalf of any
of them.

          8.11 Financial Condition of Medis. Any extensions of credit may be
               ----------------------------
granted to Medis or continued from time to time without notice to or
authorization from the Company regardless of the financial or other condition of
Medis at the time of any such grant or continuation. No Bank or Agent shall have
any obligation to disclose or discuss with the Company their assessment, or the
Company's assessment, of the financial condition of Medis. The Company has
adequate means to obtain information from Medis on a continuing basis concerning
the financial condition of Medis and its ability to perform its obligations
under the Loan Documents, and the Company assumes the responsibility for being
and keeping informed of the financial condition of Medis and of all
circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guarantied Obligations.
The Company hereby waives and relinquishes any duty on the part of any Agent or
any Bank to disclose any matter, fact or thing relating to the business,
operations or conditions of Medis now known or hereafter known by any Agent or
any Bank.

          8.12 Rights Cumulative. The rights, powers and remedies given to the
               -----------------
Banks and the Agents by this Guaranty are cumulative and shall be in addition to
and independent of all rights, powers and remedies given to any Bank and any
Agent by virtue of any statute or rule of law or in any of the other Loan
Documents or any agreement between the Company and any

                                       67
<PAGE>

Bank and/or any Agent or between Medis and any Bank and/or any Agent. Any
forbearance or failure to exercise, and any delay by any Bank or any Agent in
exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall not impair any such
right, power or remedy or be construed to be a waiver thereof, nor shall it
preclude the further exercise of any such right, power or remedy.

          8.13 Bankruptcy; Post-Petition Interest; Reinstatement of Guaranty.
               -------------------------------------------------------------

          (a)  So long as any Guarantied Obligations remain outstanding, the
Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the Agent in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement, commence or join with any other Person in
commencing any bankruptcy, reorganization or insolvency proceedings of or
against Medis. The obligations of the Company under this Guaranty shall not be
reduced, limited, impaired, discharged, deferred, suspended or terminated by any
proceeding, voluntary or involuntary, involving the bankruptcy, insolvency,
receivership, reorganization, liquidation or arrangement of Medis or by any
defense which Medis may have by reason of the order, decree or decision of any
court or administrative body resulting from any such proceeding.

          (b)  The Company acknowledges and agrees that any interest on any
portion of the Guarantied Obligations which accrues after the commencement of
any proceeding referred to in clause (a) above (or, if interest on any portion
of the Guarantied Obligations ceases to accrue by operation of law by reason of
the commencement of said proceeding, such interest as would have accrued on such
portion of the Guarantied Obligations if said proceedings had not been
commenced) shall be included in the Guarantied Obligations because it is the
intention of the Company and the Agent that the Guarantied Obligations which are
guarantied by the Company pursuant to this Guaranty should be determined without
regard to any rule of law or order which may relieve Medis of any portion of
such Guarantied Obligations. The Company will permit any trustee in bankruptcy,
receiver, debtor in possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors or similar
person to pay the Agent, or allow the claim of the Agent in respect of, any such
interest accruing after the date on which such proceeding is commenced.

          (c)  In the event that all or any portion of the Guarantied
Obligations are paid by Medis, the obligations of the Company hereunder shall
continue and remain in full force and effect or be reinstated, as the case may
be, in the event that all or any part of such payment(s) are rescinded or
recovered directly or indirectly from any Agent or any Bank as a preference,
fraudulent transfer or otherwise, and any such payments which are so rescinded
or recovered shall constitute Guarantied Obligations for all purposes under this
Guaranty.

          9.2  Remedies. If any Event of Default occurs, the Agent shall, at the

request of, or may, with the consent of, the Majority Banks,

          9.3  Rights Not Exclusive. The rights provided for in this Agreement

and the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any other

any other instrument, document or agreement now existing or hereafter arising.


                                   ARTICLE X

                                  THE AGENTS

          10.1 Appointment and Authorization. Each Bank hereby irrevocably
               -----------------------------
(subject to Section 10.9) appoints, designates and authorizes each of the Agents
to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and
each other Loan Document and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as
are expressly delegated to it by the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan
Document, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this
Agreement or in any other Loan Document, none of the Agents shall have any
duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, nor shall
any of the Agents have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any
Bank, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations
or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or
otherwise exist against any of the Agents.

          10.2 Delegation of Duties. Each of the Agents may execute any of its
               --------------------
duties under this Agreement or any other Loan Document by or through agents,
employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel
concerning all matters pertaining to such duties; provided that, no Agent in its
                                                  --------
capacity as an Agent shall delegate its duty hereunder to make or receive
payments unless the delegee shall be a resident of the same jurisdiction as the
Agent making such delegation. None of the Agents shall be responsible for the
negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney-in-fact that it selects with
reasonable care.

          10.3 Liability of Agent. None of the Agent-Related Persons shall (a)
               ------------------
be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in
connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions
contemplated hereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct),
or (b) be responsible in any manner to any of the Banks for any recital,
statement, representation or warranty made by the Company or any Subsidiary or
Affiliate of the Company, or any officer thereof, contained in this Agreement or
in

                                       71
<PAGE>

any other Loan Document, or in any certificate, report, statement or other
document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Agent under or in
connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the validity,
effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or
any other Loan Document, or for any failure of the Company or any other party to
any Loan Document to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. No Agent-
Related Person shall be under any obligation to any Bank to ascertain or to
inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained
in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect
the properties, books or records of the Company or any of the Company's
Subsidiaries or Affiliates.

          10.4 Reliance by the Agent.
               ---------------------

          (a)  Each of the Agents shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully
protected in relying, upon any writing, resolution, notice, consent,
certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, telex or telephone message,
statement or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and
correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons,
and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to the
Company), independent accountants and other experts selected with reasonable
care by it. Each of the Agents shall be fully justified in failing or refusing
to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it
shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Majority Banks as it deems
appropriate and, if it so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its
satisfaction by the Banks against any and all liability and expense which may be
incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Each
of the Agents shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining
from acting, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document in accordance with
a request or consent of the Majority Banks and such request and any action taken
or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all of the Banks.

          (b)  For purposes of determining compliance with the conditions
specified in Section 4.1, each Bank that has executed this Agreement shall be
deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted or to be satisfied with, each
document or other matter either sent by any of the Agents to such Bank for
consent, approval, acceptance or satisfaction, or required thereunder to be
consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to the Bank.

          10.5 Notice of Default. None of the Agents shall be deemed to have
               -----------------
knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, except
with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest and fees required
to be paid to it for the account of the Banks, unless it shall have received
written notice from a Bank or the Company referring to this Agreement,
describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a
"notice of default". Each of the Agents will notify the Banks of its receipt of
any such notice. The Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default
or Event of Default as may be requested by the Majority Banks in accordance with
Article IX; provided, however, that unless and until the Agent has received any
            --------  -------
such request, the Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or
refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of
Default as it shall deem advisable or in the best interest of the Banks.

                                       72
<PAGE>

          10.6 Credit Decision. Each Bank acknowledges that none of the Agent-
               ---------------
Related Persons has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act
by any of the Agents hereinafter taken, including any review of the affairs of
the Company and its Subsidiaries, shall be deemed to constitute any
representation or warranty by any Agent-Related Person to any Bank. Each Bank
represents to each of the Agents that it has, independently and without reliance
upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it
has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the
business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and
creditworthiness of the Company and its Subsidiaries, and all applicable bank
regulatory laws relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and made its
own decision to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit to the Company
and/or Medis, as applicable, hereunder. Each Bank also represents that it will,
independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on
such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time,
continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or
not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make
such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business,
prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and
creditworthiness of the Company and/or Medis, as applicable. Except for notices,
reports and other documents expressly herein required to be furnished to the
Banks by the Agents, none of the Agents shall have any duty or responsibility to
provide any Bank with any credit or other information concerning the business,
prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or
creditworthiness of the Company which may come into the possession of any of the
Agent-Related Persons.

          10.7 Indemnification of Agent. Whether or not the transactions
               ------------------------
contemplated hereby are consummated, the Banks shall indemnify upon demand the
Agent-Related Persons (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of the
Company and without limiting the obligation of the Company to do so), pro rata,
from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities and any other liability,
obligation, loss, damage, penalty, action, judgment, suit, cost, charge, expense
or disbursement (including Attorney Costs) that would be an Indemnified
Liability but for the fact that it relates or arises out of a claim or
threatened claim by a Borrower or other Person party to this Agreement;
provided, however, that no Bank shall be liable for the payment to the Agent-
- --------  -------
Related Persons of any portion of such Indemnified Liabilities resulting solely
from such Person's gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limitation of
the foregoing, each Bank shall reimburse each of the Agents upon demand for its
ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including Attorney Costs)
incurred by it in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery,
administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through
negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of
rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or
any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that it is not
reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of the Company. The undertaking in
this Section shall survive the payment of all Obligations hereunder and the
resignation or replacement of any of the Agents.

          10.8 Agent in Individual Capacity. Any of the Agents and any of their
               ----------------------------
Affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept
deposits from, acquire equity interests in and generally engage in any kind of
banking, trust, financial advisory,

                                       73
<PAGE>

underwriting or other business with the Company and its Subsidiaries and
Affiliates as though such of the Agents were not Agents hereunder and without
notice to or consent of the Banks. The Banks acknowledge that, pursuant to such
activities, any of the Agents or any of their Affiliates may receive information
regarding the Company or its Affiliates (including information that may be
subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of the Company or such
Subsidiary) and acknowledge that none of the Agents shall be under any
obligation to provide such information to them. With respect to its Loans, each
of the Agents shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any
other Bank and may exercise the same as though it were not one of the Agents.
The terms "Bank" and "Banks" include each of the Agents in its individual
capacity.

          10.9   Successor Agent. Any of the Agents may, and at the request of
                 ---------------
the Majority Banks shall, resign as an Agent upon thirty (30) days' notice to
the Banks. If the Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent resigns under this
Agreement, then the Majority Banks shall appoint from among the Banks a
successor agent for the Banks which successor agent shall be approved by the
Company. If no successor agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the
resignation of the Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as the case may
be, the Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Banks and the Company, a
successor agent from among the Banks. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as
successor agent hereunder, such successor agent shall succeed to all the rights,
powers and duties of the retiring Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as
the case may be, and the terms "Agent", "Agents" and "Canadian Administrative
Agent" shall, as applicable, mean such successor agent and the retiring agent's
appointment, powers and duties as Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as
the case may be, shall be terminated. After any retiring agent's resignation
hereunder as Agent or Canadian Administrative Agent, as the case may be, the
provisions of this Article X and Sections 11.4 and 11.5 shall inure to its
benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent
or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as the case may be, under this Agreement.
If no successor agent has accepted appointment as Agent or the Canadian
Administrative Agent, as the case may be, by the date which is thirty (30) days
following a retiring agent's notice of resignation, the retiring agent's
resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Banks shall
perform all of the duties of the Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as
the case may be, hereunder until such time, if any, as the Majority Banks
appoint a successor agent as provided for above.

          10.10  Withholding Tax.
                 ---------------

          (a)    If any Facility A Domestic Bank or Facility B Bank is a
"foreign corporation, partnership or trust" within the meaning of the Code and
such Bank claims exemption from, or a reduction of, U.S. withholding tax under
Sections 1441 or 1442 of the Code, such Bank agrees with and in favor of the
Agent, to deliver to the Agent:

                 (i)     if such Bank claims an exemption from, or a reduction
         of, withholding tax under a United States tax treaty, properly
         completed IRS Forms 1001 and W-8 before the payment of any interest in
         the first calendar year and before the payment

                                       74
<PAGE>

         of any interest in each third succeeding calendar year during which
         interest may be paid under this Agreement;

                    (ii)  if such Bank claims that interest paid under this
         Agreement is exempt from United States withholding tax because it is
         effectively connected with a United States trade or business of such
         Bank, two properly completed and executed copies of IRS Form 4224
         before the payment of any interest is due in the first taxable year of
         such Bank and in each succeeding taxable year of such Bank during which
         interest may be paid under this Agreement, and IRS Form W-9; and

                    (iii) such other form or forms as may be required under the
         Code or other laws of the United States as a condition to exemption
         from, or reduction of, United States withholding tax.

Such Bank agrees to promptly notify the Agent of any change in circumstances
which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction.

               (b)  If any Facility A Domestic Bank or Facility B Bank claims
exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax under a United States tax
treaty by providing IRS Form 1001 and such Bank sells, assigns, grants a
participation in, or otherwise transfers all or part of the Obligations of the
Company to such Bank, such Bank agrees to notify the Agent of the percentage
amount in which it is no longer the beneficial owner of Obligations of the
Company to such Bank. To the extent of such percentage amount, the Agent will
treat such Bank's IRS Form 1001 as no longer valid.

               (c)  If any Facility A Domestic Bank or Facility B Bank claiming
exemption from United States withholding tax by filing IRS Form 4224 with the
Agent sells, assigns, grants a participation in, or otherwise transfers all or
part of the Obligations of the Company to such Bank, such Bank agrees to
undertake sole responsibility for complying with the withholding tax
requirements imposed by Sections 1441 and 1442 of the Code.

               (d)  If any Facility A Domestic Bank or Facility B Bank is
entitled to a reduction in the applicable withholding tax, the Agent may
withhold from any interest payment to such Bank an amount equivalent to the
applicable withholding tax after taking into account such reduction. If the
forms or other documentation required by subsection (a) of this Section are not
delivered to the Agent, then the Agent may withhold from any interest payment to
such Bank not providing such forms or other documentation an amount equivalent
to the applicable withholding tax.

               (e)  If the IRS or any other Governmental Authority of the United
States or other jurisdiction asserts a claim that the Agent did not properly
withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Facility A Domestic
Bank or Facility B Bank (because the appropriate form was not delivered, was not
properly executed, or because such Bank failed to notify the Agent of a change
in circumstances which rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding
tax ineffective, or for any other reason) such Bank shall indemnify the Agent
fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Agent as tax or
otherwise, including

                                       75
<PAGE>

penalties and interest, and including any taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on
the amounts payable to the Agent under this Section, together with all costs and
expenses (including Attorney Costs). The obligation of the Facility A Domestic
Banks or Facility B Banks under this subsection shall survive the payment of all
Obligations and the resignation or replacement of the Agent.

          (f)    If any Facility A Canadian Bank is not a resident of Canada for
purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada) and such Facility A Canadian Bank claims
exemptions from, or reduction of, Canadian withholding tax, such Facility A
Canadian Bank agrees with and in favor of the Agent and the Canadian
Administrative Agent, to deliver to the Agent and the Canadian Administrative
Agent all forms as may be required under the Income Tax Act (Canada) or other
laws of Canada as a condition to exemption from, or reduction of, Canadian
withholding tax. Such Facility A Canadian Bank agrees to promptly notify the
Agent and the Canadian Administrative Agent of any change in circumstances which
would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction. If any
Facility A Canadian Bank claims exemption from, or reduction of, Canadian
withholding tax and such Bank sells, assigns, grants a participation in, or
otherwise transfers all or part of the Obligations of Medis to such Facility A
Canadian Bank, such Facility A Canadian Bank agrees to notify the Agent and the
Canadian Administrative Agent of the percentage amount in which it is no longer
the beneficial owner of Obligations of Medis to such Facility A Canadian Bank.
If any Facility A Canadian Bank is entitled to a reduction in the applicable
Canadian withholding tax, the Canadian Administrative Agent may withhold from
any interest payment to such Facility A Canadian Bank an amount equivalent to
the applicable withholding tax after taking into account such reduction. If the
forms or other documentation required by this subsection 10.10(f) are not
delivered to the Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent, then the Canadian
Administrative Agent may withhold from any interest payment to such Facility A
Canadian Bank not providing such forms or other documentation an amount
equivalent to the applicable withholding tax. If any Governmental Authority of
Canada asserts a claim that the Canadian Administrative Agent or Medis did not
properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Bank
(because the appropriate form is not delivered, was not properly executed, or
because such Facility A Canadian Bank failed to notify the Canadian
Administrative Agent of a change in circumstances which rendered the exemption

liability to either Borrower or other Person on account of any action taken or

variance with the terms understood by the Agents and the Banks to be contained
in the telephonic or facsimile notice.

          11.3 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure to exercise and no
               ------------------------------
delay in exercising, on the part of the Agent, the Canadian Administrative Agent

waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy,
power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or
the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights and
remedies of the parties provided herein and in the other Loan Documents are
cumulative and are in addition to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies
provided by law .

under this Agreement or any other Loan Document during the existence of an Event
of Default or after acceleration of the Loans (including in connection with any
"workout" or restructuring regarding the Loans, and including in any Insolvency
Proceeding or appellate proceeding).

          11.5 Borrower Indemnification. Whether or not the transactions
               ------------------------
contemplated hereby are consummated, the Company and Medis jointly and severally
shall indemnify and hold the Agent-Related Persons, and each Bank and each of
its respective Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, counsel, agents and
attorneys-in-fact (each, an "Indemnified Person") harmless from and against any
                             ------------------
and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions,
judgments, suits, costs, charges, expenses and disbursements (including Attorney
Costs) of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time (including at any
time following repayment of the Loans and the termination, resignation or
replacement of any of the Agents or replacement of any Bank) be imposed on,
incurred by or asserted against any such Person as a result of any claim or
threatened claim by a Person not party to this Agreement or by a Borrower
(except for claims by a Borrower or against any Agent or a Bank that are
successful on the merits as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), in
any case in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any document
contemplated by or referred to herein, or the transactions contemplated hereby,
or any action taken or omitted by any such Person under or in connection with
any of the foregoing, including with respect to any investigation, litigation or
proceeding (including any Insolvency Proceeding or appellate proceeding) related
to or arising out of this Agreement or the Loans or the use of the proceeds
thereof, or related to any Canadian Dollar transactions entered into in
connection herewith, whether or not any Indemnified Person is a party thereto

                                       -----------------------    --------
a Borrower shall have no obligation hereunder to any Indemnified Person with
respect to Indemnified Liabilities to the extent resulting from the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Person. The agreements in
this Section shall survive payment of all other Obligations; provided further
                                                             ----------------
that this Section 11.5 shall not be construed to expand the obligations of a
Borrower to make payments to the Banks in the circumstances required under
Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4 or 3.5, it being understood and agreed

                                       79
<PAGE>

that such Sections shall govern the rights and obligations of the Borrowers and
the Banks as to matters set forth therein, or to require a Borrower to
compensate a Bank for any Indemnified Liability relating to its cost of funds
for any Borrowing.

          11.6 Payments Set Aside. To the extent that a Borrower makes a payment
               ------------------
to any of the Agents or the Banks, or any of the Agents or the Banks exercise
their right of set-off, and such payment or the proceeds of such set-off or any
part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or
preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement
entered into by any of the Agents or such Bank in its discretion) to be repaid
to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any Insolvency
Proceeding or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery the obligation
or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and
continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such
set-off had not occurred, and (b) each Bank severally agrees to pay to the
Agents upon demand its pro rata share of any amount so recovered from or repaid
by the Agents.

          11.7 Successors and Assigns. The provisions of this Agreement shall be
               ----------------------
binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective
successors and assigns, except that neither Borrower may assign or transfer any
of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written
consent of the Agent and each Bank.

          11.8 Assignments, Participations, etc.
               ---------------------------------

          (a)  Any Bank may, with the written consent of the Company at all
times other than during the existence of an Event of Default and the Agent,
which consents of the Company and the Agent shall not be unreasonably withheld,
at any time assign and delegate to one or more Eligible Assignees (provided that
no written consent of the Company or the Agent shall be required in connection
with any assignment and delegation by a Bank to an Eligible Assignee that is an
Affiliate of such Bank) (each an "Assignee") all, or any ratable part of all, of
                                  --------
the Loans, the Bankers' Acceptance Facility, the Commitments and the other
rights and obligations of such Bank hereunder, in a minimum amount of
$10,000,000 or any multiple of $5,000,000 in excess thereof, or, if less, the
amount of the Commitment of such Bank; provided, however, that the Borrowers and
                                       --------  -------
the Agent may continue to deal solely and directly with such Bank in connection
with the interest so assigned to an Assignee until (i) written notice of such
assignment, together with payment instructions, addresses and related
information with respect to the Assignee, shall have been given to the Company
and the Agent by such Bank and the Assignee; (ii) such Bank and its Assignee
shall have delivered to the Company and the Agent an Assignment and Acceptance
substantially in the form of Exhibit E ("Assignment and Acceptance") with such
                                         -------------------------
changes thereto as the Agent and the Company may approve together with any Note
or Notes subject to such assignment and (iii) the assignor Bank or Assignee has
paid to the Agent a processing fee in the amount of $3,500. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this subsection 11.8(a), no Facility A Bank that has
an Affiliate Bank shall make or grant any sale, assignment, transfer or
negotiation with respect to any percentage of its Loans, the Bankers' Acceptance
Facility, Bankers' Acceptances, Commitments or any other Obligation to any other
Person (other than to an Affiliate of such Bank) unless its Bank Affiliate shall
simultaneously

                                       80
<PAGE>

make or grant an assignment with respect to the same percentage of its Loans,
the Bankers' Acceptance Facility, Bankers' Acceptances, Commitments or other
Obligations to such Person

          (b)  From and after the date that the Agent notifies the assignor Bank
that it has received (and provided its consent and received the Company's
consent with respect to) an executed Assignment and Acceptance and payment of
the above-referenced processing fee, (i) the Assignee thereunder shall be a
party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been
assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, shall have the rights
and obligations of a Bank under the Loan Documents, and (ii) the assignor Bank
shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder and under the other
Loan Documents have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and
Acceptance, relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations under the
Loan Documents.

          (c)  If the assignor Bank had received any Notes, within five (5)
Business Days after its receipt of notice by the Agent that it has received an
executed Assignment and Acceptance and payment of the processing fee, (and
provided that the Company and the Agent have consented to such assignment in
accordance with subsection 11.8(a)), each Borrower, as applicable, shall execute
and deliver to the Agent, new Notes evidencing such Assignee's assigned Loans
and, if the assignor Bank has retained a portion of its Loans, replacement Notes
in the principal amount of the Loans retained by the assignor Bank (such Notes
to be in exchange for, but not in payment of, the Notes held by such Bank).
Immediately upon each Assignee's becoming a party to this Agreement in
accordance with subsection 11.8(b)(i), this Agreement shall be deemed to be
amended to the extent, but only to the extent, necessary to reflect the addition
of the Assignee and the resulting adjustment of the Facility A Commitments and
the Facility B Commitments arising therefrom. The Facility A Commitment and the
Facility B Commitment allocated to each Assignee shall reduce the Facility A
Commitment and the Facility B Commitment of the assigning Bank pro tanto.
                                                               --- -----

          (d)  In addition to sales of Canadian Participations by Facility A
Canadian Banks pursuant to subsection 2.1(a)(ii)(B) hereof, any Bank may, with
the written consent of the Company at all times other than during the existence
of an Event of Default and the Agent, which consents of the Company and the
Agent shall not be unreasonably withheld, at any time sell to one or more
Eligible Assignees (provided that no written consent of the Company or the Agent
shall be required in connection with any participation by a Bank to an Eligible
Assignee that is an Affiliate of such Bank) (a "Participant") participating
                                                -----------
interests in any Loans, Bankers' Acceptance Facility, Bankers' Acceptances, the
Facility A Commitment or the Facility B Commitment of that Bank and the other
interests of that Bank (the "originating Bank") hereunder and under the other
Loan Documents; provided, however, that (i) the originating Bank's obligations
                --------  -------
under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) the originating Bank shall
remain solely responsible for the performance of such obligations, (iii) the
Borrowers and the Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with the
originating Bank in connection with the originating Bank's rights and
obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (iv) no Facility
A Bank which has an Affiliate Bank shall make or grant any participation with
respect to any percentage of its Loans, Bankers' Acceptance Facility, Bankers'
Acceptances, Facility A Commitment or Facility B Commitment or any other Person
(other than an Affiliate of

                                       81
<PAGE>

such Bank) unless its Affiliate Bank shall simultaneously make or grant a
participation with respect to the same percentage of its Loans, Bankers'
Acceptance Facility, Bankers' Acceptances, Facility A Commitments or Facility B
Commitments to such Person; and (v) no Bank shall transfer or grant any
participating interest under which the Participant has rights to approve any
amendment to, or any consent or waiver with respect to, this Agreement or any
other Loan Document, except to the extent such amendment, consent or waiver
would require unanimous consent of the Banks as described in the first proviso
                                                                 ----- -------
to Section 11.1. In the case of any such participation, the Participant shall
not have any rights under this Agreement, or any of the other Loan Documents,
and all amounts payable by the Borrowers hereunder shall be determined as if
such Bank had not sold such participation; except that, if amounts outstanding
under this Agreement are due and unpaid, or shall have been declared or shall
have become due and payable upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, each
Participant shall be deemed to have the right of set-off in respect of its
participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement to the same extent
as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a
Bank under this Agreement.

          (e)  Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, any Bank
may at any time create a security interest in, or pledge, all or any portion of
its rights under and interest in this Agreement and any Notes held by it in
favor of any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with Regulation A of the FRB or
U.S. Treasury Regulation 31 CFR ss.203.14, and such Federal Reserve Bank may
enforce such pledge or security interest in any manner permitted under
applicable law.

          (f)  Notwithstanding this Section 11.8, no consent of the Company or
Agent or other requirements in this Section 11.8 shall be required to be
satisfied in connection with the purchase of a Bankers' Acceptance by a
participant as contemplated by Section 2.18.

          11.9 Confidentiality. Each of the Agents and each Bank agree to take
               ---------------
and to cause its Affiliates (including the Agent-Related Persons) to take normal
and reasonable precautions and exercise due care to maintain the confidentiality
of all information identified as "confidential" or "secret" by the Company and
provided to it by the Company or any Subsidiary, or by any of the Agents on the
Company's or Subsidiary's behalf, under this Agreement or any other Loan
Document, and neither it nor any of its Affiliates shall use any such
information other than in connection with or in enforcement of this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents or in connection with other business now or
hereafter existing or contemplated with the Company or any Subsidiary, except to
the extent such information (i) was or becomes generally available to the public
other than as a result of disclosure by any of the Agents or such Bank, or (ii)
was or becomes available on a non-confidential basis from a source other than
the Company, provided that such source is not bound by a confidentiality
agreement with the Company known to such Agent or such Bank; provided, however,
                                                             --------  -------
that any of the Agents and any Bank may disclose such information (A) at the
request or pursuant to any requirement of any Governmental Authority to which
any of the Agents or any Bank is subject or in connection with an examination of
such Bank by any such authority; (B) pursuant to subpoena or other court
process; (C) when required to do so in accordance with the provisions of any
applicable Requirement of Law; (D) to the extent reasonably required in
connection with the exercise of any remedy hereunder or under any

                                       82
<PAGE>

other Loan Document; (E) to such Bank's independent auditors and other
professional advisors and to any of the Agents or any other Bank; (F) to any
Participant or Assignee, actual or potential, provided that such Person agrees
in writing to keep such information confidential to the same extent required of
the Banks hereunder; (G) as to any of the Agents or any Bank or its Affiliate,
as expressly permitted under the terms of any other document or agreement
regarding confidentiality to which the Company or any Subsidiary is party or is
deemed party with such Bank or such Affiliate; and (H) to its Affiliates;
provided, further, that to the extent permitted by applicable law or
- --------  -------
regulation, each of the Agents and each Bank agree to notify the Company prior
to (if reasonably practicable) or concurrently with its disclosure of such
information to any third party pursuant to clauses (B), (C), or (F).

          11.10     Set-off. In addition to any rights and remedies of the Banks
                    -------
provided by law, if an Event of Default exists or the Loans have been
accelerated, each Bank and its respective Affiliates are authorized at any time
and from time to time, without prior notice to the Company or Medis, any such
notice being waived by the Company and Medis to the fullest extent permitted by
law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or
demand, provisional or final) at any time held by, and other indebtedness at any
time owing by, such Bank or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the
account of the Company or Medis against any and all Obligations owing to such
Bank, now or hereafter existing, irrespective of whether or not any of the
Agents or such Bank shall have made demand under this Agreement or any Loan
Document and although such Obligations may be contingent or unmatured. Each Bank
agrees promptly to notify the Company and the Agent and the Canadian
Administrative Agent after any such set-off and application made by such Bank;
provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the
- --------  -------
validity of such set-off and application.

          11.11     Notification of Addresses, Lending Offices, Etc. Each Bank
                    -----------------------------------------------
shall notify the Agent and the Canadian Administrative Agent in writing of any
changes in the address to which notices to the Bank should be directed, of
addresses of any Lending Office, of payment instructions in respect of all
payments to be made to it hereunder and of such other administrative information
as the Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent shall reasonably request.

          11.12     Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number
                    ------------
of separate counterparts, each of which, when so executed, shall be deemed an
original, and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to
constitute but one and the same instrument.

          11.13     Severability. The illegality or unenforceability of any
                    ------------
provision of this Agreement or any instrument or agreement required hereunder
shall not in any way affect or impair the legality or enforceability of the
remaining provisions of this Agreement or any instrument or agreement required
hereunder.

          11.14     No Third Parties Benefited. This Agreement is made and
                    --------------------------
entered into for the sole protection and legal benefit of the Borrowers, the
Banks, the Agents and the Agent-Related Persons, and their permitted successors
and assigns, and no other Person shall be a direct or indirect legal beneficiary
of, or have any direct or indirect cause of action or claim in connection with,

          11.16     Waiver of Jury Trial. THE BORROWERS, THE BANKS AND THE
                    --------------------
AGENTS EACH WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM OR
CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE
OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY, IN ANY
ACTION, PROCEEDING OR OTHER LITIGATION OF ANY TYPE BROUGHT BY ANY OF THE PARTIES
AGAINST ANY OTHER PARTY OR ANY AGENT-RELATED PERSON, PARTICIPANT OR ASSIGNEE,
WHETHER WITH RESPECT TO CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS, OR OTHERWISE. THE
BORROWERS, THE BANKS AND THE AGENTS EACH AGREE THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM OR CAUSE OF
ACTION SHALL BE TRIED BY A COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY. WITHOUT LIMITING THE
FOREGOING, THE PARTIES FURTHER AGREE THAT

                                       84
<PAGE>

THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IS WAIVED BY OPERATION OF THIS SECTION
AS TO ANY ACTION, COUNTERCLAIM OR OTHER PROCEEDING WHICH SEEKS, IN WHOLE OR IN
PART, TO CHALLENGE THE VALIDITY OR ENFORCEABILITY OF THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER
LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY PROVISION HEREOF OR THEREOF. THIS WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO
ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS TO THIS
AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS.

          11.17     Judgment. If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any
                    --------
court, it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder or any other Loan Document
in one currency into another currency, the rate of exchange used shall be that
at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Agent could purchase
the first currency with such other currency on the Business Day preceding that
on which final judgment is given. The obligation of a Borrower in respect of any
such sum due from it to the Agent hereunder or under the other Loan Documents
shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the "Judgment Currency")
other than that in which such sum is denominated in accordance with the
applicable provisions of this Agreement (the "Agreement Currency"), be
discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by the
Agent of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Agent may
in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the Agreement Currency
with the Judgment Currency. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased
is less than the sum originally due to the Agent in the Agreement Currency, the
Borrowers agree, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment,
to indemnify the Agent or the Person to whom such obligation was owing against
such loss. If the amount of the Agreement currency so purchased is greater than
the sum originally due to the Agent in such currency, the Agent agrees to return
the amount of any excess to the applicable Borrower (or to any other Person who
may be entitled thereto under applicable law).

          11.18     Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the other
                    ----------------
Loan Documents, embodies the entire agreement and understanding among the
Borrowers, the Banks and the Agents, and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous
agreements and understandings of such Persons, verbal or written, relating to
the subject matter hereof and thereof.

                         REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT



                          Dated as of August 27, 1998
<PAGE>

          REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT, dated as of August 27, 1998, by
McKesson Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and the other
undersigned parties hereto.

          1.   Introduction; Term of Agreement. The Company is a party to the
               -------------------------------
separate Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement"), dated as of
August 27, 1998, among the Company, Red Acquisition Corp., a Louisiana
corporation, Automated Prescription Systems, Inc., a Louisiana corporation, and
the selling stockholders parties thereto (the "Stockholders") pursuant to which
the Company has agreed, among other things, to acquire through merger APS and,
in connection therewith, to issue to the Stockholders shares of common stock of
the Company (the "Common Stock") as specified in the Merger Agreement. This
Agreement shall become effective upon the Effective Time (as defined in the
Merger Agreement). This Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force and
effect on the second anniversary date of the Effective Time. Notwithstanding the
preceding sentence, with respect to Registrable Securities being placed in
escrow pursuant to the Merger Agreement, (i) section 2.1 hereof shall terminate
and be of no further force and effect on the second anniversary date of the
Effective Time, and (ii) the other provisions hereof shall terminate and be of
no further force and effect on the third anniversary date of the Effective Time.
Certain capitalized terms used in this Agreement are defined in section 3
hereof; references to sections shall be to sections of this Agreement.

          2.    Registration under Securities Act, etc.
                --------------------------------------

                2.1  Registration on Request.
                     -----------------------

                (a)  Demand Request.  Upon the written request of the Initiating
                     --------------
Holders (on their own and/or on behalf of the other Stockholders), requesting
that the Company effect the registration under the Securities Act of all or part
of such Initiating Holders' Registrable Securities or the Registrable Securities
owned by other Stockholders and specifying the intended method or methods of
disposition thereof (a "Demand Request"), the Company will, as promptly as
reasonably practicable but in no event later than 20 days after such request,
give written notice of such requested registration to all registered holders of
Registrable Securities who would be entitled to participate in such
registration, and thereupon the Company will, subject to the terms of this
Agreement, use its best efforts to effect the registration under the Securities
Act of:

                       (i)   the Registrable Securities which the Company has
          been so requested to register by such Initiating Holders (on their own
          and/or on behalf of the other Stockholders) for disposition in
          accordance with the intended method or methods of disposition stated
          in such request;

                       (ii)  all other Registrable Securities the holders of
          which shall have made a written request to the Company for
          registration

                                      -2-
<PAGE>

          thereof within 30 days after the receipt of such written notice from
          the Company (which request shall specify the intended method or
          methods of disposition of such Registrable Securities);

                    (iii)  all shares of Common Stock which the Company may
          elect to register in connection with the offering of Registrable
          Securities pursuant to this section 2.1; and

                    (iv)   all shares of Common Stock which the Company may be
          required to register in connection with "piggyback" or incidental
          registration rights granted to any other Person;

all to the extent requisite to permit the disposition (in accordance with the
intended method or methods of distribution specified in the Demand Request) of
the Registrable Securities and the additional shares of Common Stock, if any, so
to be registered, provided, however, that such Demand Request shall be for not
                  --------  -------
less than 400,000 shares of Common Stock.  Subject to the provisions of section
2.1(d), the Initiating Holders will have the right pursuant to this section
2.1(a) to make one Demand Request.

          Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Initiating
Holders shall have the right to request registration pursuant to this section
2.1 and specify that one of the methods of disposition of Registrable Securities
shall be a block trade or trades involving Registrable Securities held by such
Initiating Holders and/or other Stockholders and that, in connection therewith,
the Company shall file with the Commission a registration statement under Rule
415 covering all of the Registrable Securities to be sold in the block trade or
trades.  In such case, the Company shall file an appropriate shelf registration
statement with the Commission as promptly as reasonably practicable and in
accordance with the provisions of section 2.3.  Subject to the provisions of
section 2.1(d), a shelf registration which involves a block trade or block
trades as an intended method of disposition, whether or not any such block trade
is made, shall be considered as the exercise of the Demand Request permitted by
this section 2.1(a).

          Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, it is understood and
agreed that the Initiating Holders may make a Demand Request for registration
pursuant to this section 2.1(a) 30 days prior to the date on which it is agreed
by the parties that the restricted period under Accounting Series Release No.
135 would expire.

               (b)  Registration Statement Form. The registration under this
                    ---------------------------
section 2.1 shall be on such appropriate registration form of the Commission (i)
as shall be selected by the Company and, as shall be reasonably acceptable to
the Initiating Holders of the Registrable Securities so to be registered and
(ii) as shall permit the disposition of such Registrable Securities in
accordance with the intended method or methods of disposition specified in the
request for such registration.

                                      -3-
<PAGE>

          (c)  Expenses.  The Company will pay all Registration Expenses in
               --------
connection with the registration requested pursuant to this section 2.1
(including any registration deemed not to be "effected" under section 2.1).

          (d)  Effective Registration Statement.  The registration requested
               --------------------------------
pursuant to this section 2.1 shall not be deemed to have been effected (and
therefore shall not constitute the Demand Request) (i) unless the registration
statement with respect thereto has become effective in accordance with the
manner of disposition specified by the requesting holders, provided that a
                                                           --------
registration which does not become effective after the Company has filed the
registration statement with respect thereto solely by reason of the refusal to
proceed of the Initiating Holders (other than a refusal to proceed based upon
the advice of counsel relating to a matter with respect to the Company) shall be
deemed to have been effected by the Company at the request of the Initiating
Holders unless the Initiating Holders shall have elected to pay all Registration
Expenses in connection with such registration, (ii) if, after it has become
effective, such registration becomes subject to any stop order, injunction or
other order or requirement of the Commission or other governmental agency or
court for any reason, or (iii) if the conditions to closing specified in the
purchase agreement or underwriting agreement, if any, entered into in connection
with such registration are not satisfied, other than by reason of some act or
omission by a holder of Registrable Securities.

          (e)  Selection of Underwriters.  If a requested registration pursuant
               -------------------------
to this section 2.1 involves an underwritten offering, the underwriter or
underwriters thereof shall be selected by the Company, subject to the approval
of the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities which the Company has
been requested to register, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.

          (f)  Priority in Requested Registrations.  If the requested
               -----------------------------------
registration pursuant to this section 2.1 involves an underwritten offering, and
the managing underwriter shall advise the Company in writing (with a copy to
each holder of Registrable Securities requesting registration) that, in its
opinion, the number of securities requested to be included in such registration
(including securities of the Company which are not Registrable Securities)
exceeds the number which can be sold in such offering within a price range
acceptable to the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities requested
to be included in such registration, the Company will include in such
registration, to the extent of the number which the Company is so advised can be
sold in such offering, (i) first, Registrable Securities requested to be
included in such registration by the holders of Registrable Securities, pro rata
                                                                        --- ----
among such holders requesting such registration on the basis of the number of
such securities requested to be included by such holders, and (ii) second,
subject to section 2.1(a) hereof, securities the Company proposes to sell and
other securities of the Company included in such registration by other holders
who may have "piggyback" or incidental registration rights.

                                      -4-
<PAGE>

               (g)  Delay Periods. The Company shall be entitled to postpone the
                    -------------
filing of any registration statement otherwise required to be prepared and filed
by the Company pursuant to this section 2.1, or suspend the use of any effective
registration statement under this section 2.1, for a reasonable period of time,
but not in excess of 90 days (a "Delay Period"), if (i) such postponement or
suspension is required by applicable law arising from events outside of the
control of the Company or (ii) any senior executive officer of the Company
determines that in such senior executive officer's reasonable good faith
judgment the registration and distribution of the Registrable Securities covered
or to be covered by such registration statement would interfere with any pending
material financing, acquisition, corporate reorganization, business combination,
joint venture, strategic alliance, commercial alliance, customer contract or
other transaction involving the Company or any of its subsidiaries or would
require premature disclosure thereof and promptly gives the Initiating Holders
written notice of such determination, and an approximation of the period of the
anticipated delay; provided, however, that (i) the aggregate number of days
included in all Delay Periods during any consecutive 12 months shall not exceed
the aggregate of 180 days and (ii) a period of at least 90 days shall elapse
between the termination of any Delay Period and the commencement of the
immediately succeeding Delay Period. Immediately upon receipt of a written
notice of suspension, each holder of Registrable Securities who made a request
to participate in the underwritten offering pursuant to this section 2.1 shall
cease all disposition efforts with respect to Registrable Securities held by
such holder. If the Company shall so postpone the filing of a registration
statement, the Holders of Registrable Shares to be registered shall
automatically be deemed to have withdrawn the request for registration and such
request shall not constitute the Demand Request for registration to which the
Initiating Holders of Registrable Shares are entitled pursuant to this section
2.1. The time period for which the Company is required to maintain the
effectiveness of the registration statement shall be extended by the aggregate
Delay Periods during such registration.

               2.2  Incidental Registration.
                    -----------------------

               (a)  Right to Include Registrable Securities. If the Company at
                    ---------------------------------------
any time proposes to register any of its shares of Common Stock (other than in
connection with a registration of securities which are convertible or
exchangeable into Common Stock) under the Securities Act (other than by a
registration on Form S-4 or S-8, or any successor or similar forms and other
than pursuant to section 2.1), whether or not for sale for its own account, it
will each such time give prompt written notice to all holders of Registrable
Securities of its intention to do so and of such holders' rights under this
section 2.2. Upon the written request of any such holder made within 30 days
after the receipt of any such notice (which request shall specify the
Registrable Securities intended to be disposed of by such holder and the
intended method or methods of disposition thereof), the Company will, subject to
the terms of this Agreement, use its best efforts to effect the registration
under the Securities Act of all Registrable Securities

                                      -5-
<PAGE>

which the Company has been so requested to register by the holders thereof, to
the extent requisite to permit the disposition (in accordance with the intended
method or methods of distribution thereof specified in the requests of such
holders) of the Registrable Securities so to be registered, by inclusion of such
Registrable Securities in the registration statement which covers the securities
which the Company proposes to register; provided that if, at any time after
                                        --------
giving written notice of its intention to register any securities and prior to
the effective date of the registration statement filed in connection with the
registration of the Registrable Securities and the securities which the Company
proposes to sell, the Company shall determine for any reason either not to
register or to delay registration of the securities which the Company proposes
to sell, the Company may, at its election, postpone or withdraw the registration
statement and give written notice of such determination to each holder of
Registrable Securities and, thereupon, (i) in the case of a determination not to
register, shall be relieved of its obligation to register any Registrable
Securities in connection with such registration (but not from its obligation to
pay the Registration Expenses in connection therewith), without prejudice,
however, to the rights of any holder or holders of Registrable Securities
entitled to do so to request that such registration be effected as a
registration under section 2.1, and (ii) in the case of a determination to delay
registering, shall be permitted to delay registering any Registrable Securities,
for the same period as the delay in registering such other securities. No
registration effected under this section 2.2 shall relieve the Company of its
obligation to effect any registration upon request under section 2.1, nor shall
any such registration hereunder be deemed to have been effected pursuant to
section 2.1. The Company will pay all Registration Expenses in connection with
each registration of Registrable Securities requested pursuant to this section
2.2, and each holder whose Registrable Securities are included in a registration
requested pursuant to this section 2.2 will pay any underwriting discounts and
commissions and fees of such holder's counsel in connection therewith.

          (b)  Priority in Incidental Registrations.  If (i) a registration
               ------------------------------------
pursuant to this section 2.2 involves an underwritten offering of the securities
so being registered, whether or not for sale for the account of the Company, to
be distributed (on a firm commitment basis) by or through one or more
underwriters of recognized standing under underwriting terms appropriate for
such a transaction, and (ii) the managing underwriter of such underwritten
offering shall inform the Company and holders of the Registrable Securities
requesting such registration by letter of its belief that the number of
securities requested to be included in such registration exceeds the number
which can be sold in (or during the time of) such offering, then the Company
will include in such registration:

                    (i)  first, all the securities the Company proposes to sell
          for its own account,

                                      -6-
<PAGE>

                    (ii)   second, all securities of any other holder who has
          made a demand for registration, and

                    (iii)  third, to the extent that the number of securities
          which the Company and any such other holders proposed to include
          pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii) is less than the number of securities
          which the Company has been advised can be sold in such offering, the
          number of (x) such Registrable Securities requested to be included in
          such registration by the holders of Registrable Securities pursuant to
          section 2.2(a) hereof and (y) other equity securities of the Company
          requested to be included in such registration by holders of such
          securities who are entitled to incidental registration rights under
          any other registration rights agreements with the Company shall be
          allocated pro rata among all such holders on the basis of the relative
                    --- ----
          number of Registrable Securities and other equity securities each such
          holder has requested to be included in such registration.

               2.3  Registration Procedures.  If and whenever the Company is
                    -----------------------
     required to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities under the
     Securities Act as provided in sections 2.1 and 2.2, the Company shall, as
     expeditiously as reasonably possible:

                    (i)  prepare and file with the Commission the requisite
          registration statement to effect such registration (including such
          audited financial statements as may be required by the Securities Act
          or the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder) and thereafter
          cause such registration statement to become and remain effective for a
          period of at least 120 days, provided however that the Company may
                                       --------
          discontinue any registration of its securities which are not
          Registrable Securities (and, under the circumstances specified in
          section 2.2(a), its securities which are Registrable Securities) at
          any time prior to the effective date of the registration statement
          relating thereto;

                    (ii) prepare and file with the Commission such amendments
          and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used
          in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such registration
          statement effective for a period of at least 120 days (30 days in the
          case of any registration pursuant to section 2.2) and to comply with
          the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition
          of all securities covered by such registration statement until the
          earlier of such time as all of such securities have been disposed of
          in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the seller
          or sellers thereof set forth in such registration statement or such
          other time as is required by the Securities Act;

                                      -7-
<PAGE>

                    (iii) furnish to each seller of Registrable Securities
          covered by such registration statement and each underwriter, if any,
          of the securities being sold by such seller such number of conformed
          copies of such registration statement and of each such amendment and
          supplement thereto (in each case including all exhibits), such number
          of copies of the prospectus contained in such registration statement
          (including each preliminary prospectus and any summary prospectus) and
          any other prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424 under the Securities
          Act, in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and
          such other documents, as such seller and underwriter, if any, may
          reasonably request;

                    (iv)  use its best efforts to register or qualify all
          Registrable Securities and other securities covered by such
          registration statement under such other state securities laws or blue
          sky laws of such jurisdictions as any seller thereof and any
          underwriter of the securities being sold by such seller shall
          reasonably request, to keep such registrations or qualifications in
          effect for so long as such registration statement remains in effect,
          and take any other action which may be reasonably necessary or
          advisable to enable such seller and underwriter to consummate the
          disposition in such jurisdictions of the securities owned by such
          seller, except that the Company shall not for any such purpose be
          required to qualify generally to do business as a foreign corporation
          in any jurisdiction wherein it would not but for the requirements of
          this subsection (iv) be obligated to be so qualified or to consent to
          general service of process in any such jurisdiction;

                    (v)   furnish to each seller of Registrable Securities a
          signed counterpart, addressed to such seller and the underwriters, if
          any, of:

                          (X) an opinion of counsel for the Company (which shall
                    be outside counsel if outside counsel is rendering such
                    opinion in the transaction and otherwise may be the
                    Company's inside counsel), dated the effective date of such
                    registration statement (or, if such registration includes an
                    underwritten public offering, an opinion dated the date of
                    the closing under the underwriting agreement), customary for
                    a transaction of such type, and

                          (Y) a "comfort" letter (or, in the case of any such
                    Person which does not satisfy the conditions for receipt of
                    a "comfort" letter specified in Statement on Auditing
                    Standards No. 72, as amended by Statements on Auditing
                    Standards Nos. 76 and 86, an "agreed upon procedures"

                    offering, a letter of like kind dated the date of the
                    closing under the underwriting agreement), signed by the
                    independent public accountants who have certified the

                    respect to such registration statement (and the prospectus
                    included therein) and, in the case of the accountants'
                    letter, with respect to events subsequent to the date of
                    such financial statements, as are customarily covered in
                    opinions of issuer's counsel and in accountants' letters
                    delivered to the underwriters in underwritten public
                    offerings of securities (with, in the case of an "agreed
                    upon procedures" letter, such modifications or deletions as
                    may be required under Statement on Auditing Standards No.

                    financial matters customarily covered in a transaction of
                    such type;

                    (vi)      notify the holders of Registrable Securities and
          the managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, promptly:

                              (V) when the registration statement, the
                    prospectus or any prospectus supplement related thereto or
                    post-effective amendment to the registration statement has
                    been filed, and, with respect to the registration statement
                    or any post-effective amendment thereto, when the same has
                    become effective;

                              (W) of any request by the Commission for
                    amendments or supplements to the registration statement or
                    the prospectus or for additional information;

                              (X) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop
                    order suspending the effectiveness of the registration
                    statement or the initiation of any proceedings by any Person
                    for that purpose;

                              (Y) if at any time the representations and
                    warranties of the Company made as contemplated by section
                    2.4 below cease to be true and correct; and

                              (Z) of the receipt by the Company of any
                    notification with respect to the suspension of the
                    qualification of any Registrable Securities for sale under
                    the securities or

                    threat of any proceeding for such purpose;

                        (vii)  notify each seller of Registrable Securities
          covered by such registration statement, at any time when a prospectus
          relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act,
          upon the Company's discovery that, or upon the happening of any event
          as a result of which, the prospectus included in such registration
          statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a
          material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be
          stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
          misleading in the light of the circumstances under which they were
          made, and at the request of any such seller promptly prepare and
          furnish to such seller and each underwriter, if any, a reasonable
          number of copies of a supplement to or an amendment of such prospectus
          as may be necessary so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers
          of such securities, such prospectus shall not include an untrue
          statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required
          to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
          misleading in the light of the circumstances under which they were
          made;

                        (viii) make every reasonable effort to obtain the
          withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of the
          registration statement as promptly as possible;

                        (ix)   otherwise use its best efforts to comply with all
          applicable rules and regulations of the Commission, and, if required,
          make available to its security holders, as soon as reasonably
          practicable, an earnings statement covering the period of at least
          twelve months, but not more than eighteen months, beginning with the
          first day of the Company's first full calendar quarter after the
          effective date of such registration statement, which earnings
          statement shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the
          Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder, and use its best efforts to
          furnish to each such seller at least one business day prior to the
          filing thereof a copy of any amendment or supplement to such
          registration statement or prospectus and shall not file any thereof to
          which any such seller shall have reasonably objected on the grounds
          that such amendment or supplement does not comply in all material
          respects with the requirements of the Securities Act or of the rules
          or regulations thereunder;

                        (x)    provide and cause to be maintained a transfer
          agent and registrar for all Registrable Securities covered by such
          registration statement from and after a date not later than the
          effective date of such registration statement; and

<PAGE>

                        (xi)   use its best efforts to list all Registrable
          Securities covered by such registration statement on any securities
          exchange on which any of the securities of the same class as the
          Registrable Securities are then listed.

          The Company will not file any registration statement or amendment
thereto or any prospectus or any supplement thereto to which the holders of at
least a majority of the Registrable Securities covered by such registration
statement or the underwriter or underwriters, if any, shall reasonably object.

          The Company may require each seller of Registrable Securities as to
which any registration is being effected to furnish the Company such information
regarding such seller and the distribution of such securities as the Company may
from time to time reasonably request in writing in order to assure compliance
with applicable securities laws and applicable rules and regulations of
securities exchanges.

          Each holder of Registrable Securities agrees by acquisition of such
Registrable Securities that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the
occurrence of any event of the kind described in paragraph (vii) of this section
2.3, such holder will forthwith discontinue such holder's disposition of
Registrable Securities pursuant to the registration statement relating to such
Registrable Securities until such holder's receipt of the copies of the
supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by paragraph (vii) of this
section 2.3 and, if so directed by the Company, will deliver to the Company (at
the Company's expense) all copies, other than permanent file copies, then in
such holder's possession of the prospectus relating to such Registrable
Securities current at the time of receipt of such notice.  In the event the
Company shall give any such notice, the period mentioned in paragraph (ii) of
this section 2.3 shall be extended by the length of the period from and
including the date when each seller of any Registrable Securities covered by
such registration statement shall have received such notice to the date on which
each such seller has received the copies of the supplemented or amended
prospectus contemplated by paragraph (vii) of this section 2.3.

               2.4.  Underwritten Offerings.
                     ----------------------

               (a)   Requested Underwritten Offerings.  If requested by the
                     --------------------------------
underwriters for any underwritten offering by holders of Registrable Securities
pursuant to a registration requested under section 2.1, the Company will enter
into an underwriting or similar agreement with such underwriters for such
offering, such agreement to be reasonably satisfactory in substance and form to
the Company, each such holder and the underwriters, and to contain such
representations and warranties by the Company and such other terms as are
generally prevailing in agreements of this type, including, without limitation,
indemnities to the effect and to the extent provided in section 2.6.  The
holders of the Registrable Securities will cooperate with the Company in the
negotiation of the underwriting or similar agreement and will give consideration
to the reasonable

                                     -11-
<PAGE>

suggestions of the Company regarding the form thereof, provided that nothing
                                                       --------
herein contained shall diminish the foregoing obligations of the Company. The
holders of Registrable Securities to be distributed by such underwriters shall
be parties to such underwriting agreement, which agreement shall provide that
any or all of the representations and warranties by, and the other agreements on
the part of, the Company to and for the benefit of such underwriters shall also
be made to and for the benefit of such holders of Registrable Securities and
that any or all of the conditions precedent to the obligations of such
underwriters under such underwriting agreement shall be conditions precedent to
the obligations of such holders of Registrable Securities. No underwriting or
similar agreement shall require any holder of Registrable Securities to make any
representations or warranties to or agreements with the Company or the
underwriters, other than representations and warranties or agreements regarding
such holder, such holder's Registrable Securities and such holder's intended
method or methods of distribution and any other representation required by law,
or to make any agreements with the Company or the underwriters with respect to
indemnification of any Person or the contribution obligations of any Person that
would impose any obligation which is broader than the indemnity furnished by
such holder pursuant to the provisions of section 2.6. In addition, the holders
of Registrable Securities shall cooperate with the Company in an effort to
provide that any such agreement will contain a provision modifying the
indemnification of the underwriter to the effect that neither the Company nor
the holders of the Registrable Securities will be liable to any Person who
participates as an underwriter in the offering or sale of Registrable Securities
with respect to any preliminary prospectus, to the extent that any such loss,
claim, damage or liability of such underwriter results from such underwriter
having sold Registrable Securities to a person to whom there was not sent or
given, at or prior to the written confirmation of such sale, a copy of the final
prospectus, if the Company has previously furnished copies thereof to such
underwriter and such final prospectus as then amended or supplemented, has
corrected any such misstatement or omission.

          (b) Incidental Underwritten Offerings.  If the Company at any time
              ---------------------------------
proposes to register any of its securities under the Securities Act as
contemplated by section 2.2 and such securities are to be distributed by or
through one or more underwriters, the Company will, if requested by any holder
of Registrable Securities as provided in section 2.2 and subject to the
provisions of section 2.2(b), use its best efforts to arrange for such
underwriters to include all the Registrable Securities to be offered and sold by
such holder among the securities to be distributed by such underwriters.  The
holders of Registrable Securities to be distributed by such underwriters shall
be parties to the underwriting agreement between the Company and such
underwriters, which agreement shall provide that any or all of the
representations and warranties by, and the other agreements on the part of, the
Company to and for the benefit of such underwriters shall also be made to and
for the benefit of such holders of Registrable Securities and that any or all of
the conditions precedent to the obligations of such underwriters under such
underwriting agreement be conditions precedent to the obligations of such
holders of

                                     -12-
<PAGE>

Registrable Securities. Any such holder of Registrable Securities shall not be
required to make any representations or warranties to or agreements with the
Company or the underwriters, other than representations, warranties or
agreements regarding such holder, such holder's Registrable Securities and such
holder's intended method or methods of distribution and any other representation
required by law, or to make any agreements with the Company or the underwriters
with respect to indemnification of any Person or the contribution obligations of
any Person that would impose any obligation which is broader than the indemnity
furnished by such holder pursuant to the provisions of section 2.6. In addition,
the holders of Registrable Securities shall cooperate with the Company in an
effort to provide that any such agreement will contain a provision modifying the
indemnification of the underwriter to the effect that neither the Company nor
the holders of the Registrable Securities will be liable to any Person who
participates as an underwriter in the offering or sale of Registrable Securities
with respect to any preliminary prospectus, to the extent that any such loss,
claim, damage or liability of such underwriter results from such underwriter
having sold Registrable Securities to a person to whom there was not sent or
given, at or prior to the written confirmation of such sale, a copy of the final
prospectus, if the Company has previously furnished copies thereof to such
underwriter and such final prospectus as then amended or supplemented, has
corrected any such misstatement or omission.

               (c)  Holdback Agreements.
                    -------------------

                          (i)   Each holder of Registrable Securities agrees by
          acquisition of such Registrable Securities, if and to the extent so
          required by the managing underwriter, not to sell, make any short sale
          of, loan, grant any option for the purchase of, effect any public sale
          or distribution of or otherwise dispose of any securities of the
          Company, during the 7 days prior to and the 90 days after any
          underwritten registration pursuant to section 2.1 or 2.2 has become
          effective and in which the holders of Registrable Securities have the
          opportunity to participate, except as part of such underwritten
          registration, whether or not such holder participates in such
          registration, unless the underwriters managing the registered public
          offering otherwise agree, provided that the foregoing restrictions
                                    --------
          shall not apply with regard to any Stockholder to the transfer to any
          Affiliate of such Person, or to any bona fide pledge of such
          Registrable Securities, provided that such Affiliate or other
          transferee and/or lender or creditor acknowledges in writing that it
          is bound by the provisions of this section 2.4(c).  Each holder of
          Registrable Securities agrees that the Company may instruct its
          transfer agent to place stop transfer notations in its records to
          enforce this section 2.4(c).

                          (ii)  The Company agrees (X) if so required by the
          managing underwriter not to sell, make any short sale of, loan, grant
          any

                                     -13-

          option for the purchase of, effect any sale or distribution of or
          otherwise dispose of its equity securities or securities convertible
          into or exchangeable or exercisable for any of such securities during
          the seven days prior to and the 90 days after any underwritten
          registration pursuant to section 2.1 or 2.2 has become effective,
          except as part of such underwritten registration and except pursuant
          to registrations on Form S-4, S-8, or any successor or similar forms
          thereto, and (Y) to cause each holder of its securities purchased from
          the Company, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or
          exercisable for such securities, at any time after the date of this
          Agreement (other than in a public offering) to agree not to sell, make
          any short sale of, loan, grant any option for the purchase of, effect
          any sale or distribution of or otherwise dispose of such securities
          during such periods, unless the underwriters managing the registered
          public offering otherwise agree.

               (d)  Participation in Underwritten Offerings.  No Person may
                    ---------------------------------------
participate in any underwritten offering hereunder unless such Person (i) agrees
to sell such Person's securities on the basis provided in any underwriting
arrangements approved, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, by the

such holder's Registrable Securities and such holder's intended method or
methods of distribution and any other representation required by law, or to make
any agreements with the Company or the underwriters with respect to
indemnification of any Person or the contribution obligations of any Person that
would impose any obligation which is broader than the indemnity furnished by
such holder pursuant to the provisions of section 2.6.

               2.5  Preparation; Reasonable Investigation.  In connection with
                    -------------------------------------
     the preparation and filing of each registration statement under the
     Securities Act pursuant to this Agreement, the Company will give the
     holders of Registrable Securities registered under such registration
     statement, their underwriters, if any, and their respective counsel and
     accountants, the opportunity to participate in the preparation of such
     registration statement, each prospectus included therein or filed with the
     Commission, and each amendment thereof or supplement thereto, and will give
     each of them such reasonable access during normal business hours to its
     books, records, and properties, and cause the Company's officers, employees
     and the independent public accountants who have certified its financial
     statements to supply all information reasonably requested by such

                                     -14-
<PAGE>

     holders' and such underwriters' respective counsel, to conduct a reasonable
     investigation within the meaning of the Securities Act.

               2.6  Indemnification.
                    ---------------

               (a)  Indemnification by the Company. In the event of any
                    ------------------------------
registration of any securities of the Company under the Securities Act pursuant
to section 2.1 or 2.2, the Company will, and hereby does agree to, indemnify and
hold harmless the holder of any Registrable Securities covered by such
registration statement and its partners, if any, its and their respective
directors, officers, partners, agents and Affiliates, each other Person who
participates as an underwriter in the offering or sale of such securities and
each other Person, if any, who controls such holder or any such underwriter
within the meaning of the Securities Act, against any losses, claims, damages or
liabilities, joint or several, to which such holder or partner thereof or any
such director or officer or partner or agent or Affiliate or underwriter or
controlling person may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise,
insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or
proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of
or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any
material fact contained in any registration statement under which such
securities were registered under the Securities Act, any preliminary prospectus,
final prospectus or summary prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or
supplement thereto, or any 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 the Company will reimburse such holder, its
respective partners and each such director, officer, partner, agent, Affiliate,
underwriter and controlling person for any legal or any other expenses
reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any
such loss, claim, liability, action or proceeding, provided, that the Company
shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim,
damage, liability (or action or proceeding in respect thereof) or expense arises
out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or
omission or alleged omission made in such registration statement, any such
preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, summary prospectus, amendment or
supplement in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished
to the Company through an instrument duly executed by such holder, specifically
stating that it is for use in the preparation thereof. Such indemnity shall
remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on
behalf of such holder or partner thereof or any such director, officer, partner,
agent, Affiliate, underwriter or controlling person and shall survive the
transfer of such securities by such holder. The indemnity agreement contained in
this section 2.6 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss,
claim, damage, liability, action or proceeding if such settlement is effected
without the consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld.

                                     -15-
<PAGE>

               (b)  Indemnification by the Sellers. The Company may require, as
                    ------------------------------
a condition to including any Registrable Securities in any registration
statement filed pursuant to section 2.3, that the Company shall have received an
undertaking reasonably satisfactory to it from the prospective seller of such
Registrable Securities, to indemnify severally, not jointly and severally, and
hold harmless (in the same manner and to the same extent as set forth in
subsection (a) of this section 2.6) the Company, each director of the Company,
each officer of the Company and each other person, if any, who controls the
Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, with respect to any statement
or alleged statement in or omission or alleged omission from such registration
statement, any preliminary prospectus, final prospectus or summary prospectus
contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereto, if such statement or
alleged statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and
in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the
prospective seller of the Registrable Securities through an instrument duly
executed by such seller specifically stating that it is for use in the
preparation of such registration statement, preliminary prospectus, final
prospectus, summary prospectus, amendment or supplement. Any such indemnity
shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by
or on behalf of the Company or any such director, officer or controlling person
and shall survive the transfer of such securities by such seller. The indemnity
agreement provided for in this section 2.6(b) shall not apply to amounts paid in
settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability, action or proceeding if
such settlement is effected without the consent of such seller (which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld). The parties hereto hereby acknowledge and
agree that, unless otherwise expressly agreed to in writing by holders of
Registrable Securities to the contrary, for all purposes of this Agreement the
only information furnished or to be furnished to the Company for use in any
registration statement, any preliminary prospectus, final prospectus or summary
prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereto are
statements specifically relating to (i) the beneficial ownership of shares of
Common Stock by such holders and its Affiliates, (ii) the name and address of
such holder and (iii) the method or methods of distribution of such holders. The
indemnity provided for under this section 2.6(b) shall be limited in amount to
the net amount of proceeds actually received by such seller from the sale of
Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration statement.

               (c)  Notices of Claims, etc. Promptly after receipt by an
                    ----------------------
indemnified party of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding
involving a claim referred to in the preceding subsections of this section 2.6,
such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against
an indemnifying party, give written notice to the latter of the commencement of
such action, provided that the failure of any indemnified party to give notice
             --------
as provided herein shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations
under the preceding subsections of this section 2.6, except to the extent that
the indemnifying party is actually prejudiced by such failure to give notice. In
case any such action is brought against an indemnified party, unless in such
indemnified party's reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such

                                     -16-
<PAGE>

indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist in respect of such claim, the
indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in and to assume the defense
thereof, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to the
extent that the indemnifying party may wish, with counsel reasonably
satisfactory to such indemnified party, and after notice from the indemnifying
party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense
thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party
for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the latter in
connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of
investigation. No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the
indemnified party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement
of any such action which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the
giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from
all liability, or a covenant not to sue, in respect to such claim or litigation.
No indemnified party shall consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any
settlement of any such action the defense of which has been assumed by an
indemnifying party without the consent of such indemnifying party, which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld.

               (d)  Indemnification Payments. The indemnification required by
                    ------------------------
this section 2.6 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during
the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or
expense, loss, damage or liability is incurred.

               (e)  Contribution.  If the indemnification provided for in the
                    ------------
preceding subsections of this section 2.6 is unavailable to an indemnified party
in respect of any expense, loss, claim, damage or liability referred to therein,
then each indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party,
shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a
result of such expense, loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as
is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits and the relative fault of the
Company on the one hand and the holder or underwriter, as the case may be, on
the other in connection with the distribution of the Registrable Securities and
the statements or omissions which result in any expense, loss, damage or
liability, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.  The relative
fault of the Company on the one hand and of the holder or underwriter, as the
case may be, on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other
things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or
omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the
Company, by the holder or by the underwriter and the parties' relative intent,
knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such
statement or omission.

          The Company and the holders of Registrable Securities agree that it
would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this subsection (e)
were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the holders and any underwriters
                   --- ----
were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of
allocation that does not take account of the

                                     -17-
<PAGE>

equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. The
amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses,
claims, damages and liabilities referred to in the immediately preceding
paragraph shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in
the preceding sentence and subsection (c) of this section 2.6, 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 of this subsection (e), no holder of
Registrable Securities or underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount
in excess of the amount by which (i) in the case of any such holder the net
proceeds actually received by such holder from the sale of Registrable
Securities or (ii) in the case of an underwriter, the total price at which the
Registrable Securities purchased by it and distributed to the public were
offered to the public exceeds, in any such case, the amount of any damages that
such holder or underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such
untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission.  No Person guilty of fraudulent
misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act)
shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such
fraudulent misrepresentation.  No party shall be liable for contribution under
this section 2.6 except to the extent and under such circumstances as such party
would have been liable to indemnify under this section 2.6 if such
indemnification were enforceable under applicable law.

               2.7  Limitations on Registrations of Registrable Securities. The
                    ------------------------------------------------------
Company shall not be required to effect any registration of Registrable
Securities pursuant to section 2.1 or 2.2 hereof (other than with respect to a
registration pursuant to section 2.1 of Registrable Securities of the Initiating
Holders) if it shall deliver (i) to the requesting holder of Registrable
Securities an opinion of counsel (which opinion and counsel shall be reasonably
satisfactory to the Initiating Holders, or other requesting holder of
Registrable Securities, if applicable) to the effect that all Registrable
Securities held by such Initiating Holders, or other requesting holder of
Registrable Securities, if applicable, may be sold immediately in the public
market without registration under the Securities Act and any applicable state
securities laws and (ii) to the Company's stock transfer agent a letter of
instruction removing any stop order and restrictive legends on such Registrable
Securities.

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


Administrative Committee
HBO & Company Profit Sharing and Savings Plan


We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits
of HBO & Company Profit Sharing and Savings Plan as of December 31, 1998 and
1997, and the related statements of changes in net assets available for benefits
for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of
the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of HBO & Company
Profit Sharing and Savings Plan at December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the changes
in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended, in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.

Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedules are presented
for the purpose of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic
financial statements but are supplementary information required by the
Securities and Exchange Commission and the Department of Labor's Rules and
Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974. The supplemental schedules have been subjected to the
auditing procedures applied in our audit of the basic financial statements and,
in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the
basic financial statements taken as a whole.

                 HBO & COMPANY PROFIT SHARING AND SAVINGS PLAN

                         Notes to Financial Statements

                          December 31, 1998 and 1997


(1)  Description of Plan
     -------------------

     The following description of HBO & Company Profit Sharing and Savings Plan
     (the "Plan") provides only general information. The Plan document should be
     referred to for a more complete description of the Plan's provisions.

     The Plan is a defined contribution plan which covers all employees of HBO &
     Company and HBO & Company of Georgia (jointly referred to herein as the
     "Company") who have completed six months of service (12 months for pre-1995
     plan years) and have attained age 21 as of a Plan entry date. The Plan's
     entry dates are January 1, April 1, July 1, and October 1.

     Each eligible employee can elect to defer a percentage of pretax
     compensation, as defined, of from one to a maximum of fifteen percent and
     may contribute such amounts to the Plan. Such deferral elections must be
     made in whole percentages. If necessary, the salary deferral contributions
     allowed by a participant will be reduced by the Plan's Administrative
     Committee (see note 3) so that such contributions do not cause the Plan to
     be discriminatory or exceed the limitations of the Internal Revenue Code.

     The Company may also contribute to the Plan at the election of the Board of
     Directors through matching contributions and/or discretionary
     contributions. Each participant's share of Company discretionary
     contributions is related to the participant's compensation, as defined.
     Company contributions may not exceed the maximum allowable as a deduction
     as defined by the Internal Revenue Code. During 1998 and 1997, the Company
     contributed $.75 for each $1 contributed by employees; however, this
     Company matching contribution was only applicable for employee
     contributions of up to 4% of pretax compensation. No Company discretionary
     contributions were authorized for the years ended December 31, 1998 and
     1997.

     Participants are 100% vested in their pretax compensation contributions and
     earnings thereon at all times. Company matching and discretionary
     contributions credited to a participant's account and earnings thereon vest
     on a graded basis. A participant becomes 20% vested in his/her Company
     account after one year of service and an additional 20% becomes vested in
     each of the following four years until a participant fully vests after five
     years of service (effective January 1, 1995). Prior to January 1, 1995, a
     participant became 20% vested in his/her Company account after three years
     of service and an additional 20% vested in each of the following four years
     until a participant fully vested after seven years of service. Further, a
     participant is automatically 100% vested without regard to years of service
     in the event of termination due to death, disability, or attainment of age
     65. Allocation of Plan earnings/losses is based on a participant's account
     balance in the respective fund.

     Forfeitures of terminated participants' nonvested accounts are allocated
     among the remaining Plan participants at the end of the Plan year as if the
     forfeitures are additional matching contributions, as designated by the
     Administrative Committee. At December 31, 1998, forfeited nonvested
     accounts amounted to $378,133. These accounts may be used to reduce future
     employer contributions.

     Prior to July 1, 1998, participants had the option to direct the investment
     of their accounts between ten investment funds: the Fidelity Retirement
     Money Market Fund, the Fidelity Managed Income Fund, the Fidelity
     Intermediate Bond Fund, the Fidelity Growth and Income Fund, the Fidelity
     Magellan Fund, the Fidelity Asset Manager Fund, the Fidelity International
     Growth and Income Fund, the Fidelity Blue Chip Growth Fund, the Fidelity
     Equity Income II Fund and HBO & Company Common Stock Fund. On July 1, 1998
     contributions to the Fidelity International Growth and Income Fund were
     discontinued and two additional funds, the Janus Balanced Fund and the
     Templeton Foreign A Fund, were added to the Plan.

                          December 31, 1998 and 1997


(1)  Description of Plan, Continued
     ------------------------------

     Participants may borrow from their fund accounts a minimum of $1,000 up to
     a maximum equal to the lesser of $50,000 or 50% of their vested account
     balance. Loan terms range up to 5 years, except that loan terms for the
     purchase of a primary residence are at the discretion of the Administrative
     Committee. The loans are secured by the balance in the participant's
     account and bear interest at a rate determined by the Administrative
     Committee. Principal and interest is paid ratably through monthly payroll
     deductions.

     Upon termination, participants under age 65 with account balances totaling
     more than $5,000 may elect to (1) delay the distribution of accounts or (2)
     receive vested benefits generally in a lump sum distribution. The full
     value of benefits (regardless of amount) is payable upon normal or
     postponed retirement or to beneficiaries upon death of the participant.
     Participants with balances totaling less than $5,000 or on total or
     permanent disability receive a lump sum distribution of vested benefits.

     Under a provision of the Plan, the Company, through actions of its Board of
     Directors, reserves the right to terminate the Plan. If the Plan is
     terminated, each participant becomes fully vested as of the termination
     date.

(2)  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
     ------------------------------------------

     The accounting records of the Plan are maintained on the accrual basis.

     HBO & Company Common Stock and investment funds held for investment by the
     Plan are stated at quoted market values from independent published sources.
     Loans receivable from participants are stated at cost which approximates
     fair value.

     The change in the difference between current value and the cost of the
     investments is reflected in the statement of changes in net assets
     available for benefits as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in fair
     value of investments.

     Realized gain (loss) on sale of investments is the difference between the
     proceeds received and the average cost of investments sold.

     Benefits are recorded when paid.

     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
     accepted accounting principles requires the Plan administrator to make
     estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and
     disclosures. Accordingly, actual results may differ from those estimates.

(3)  Administration
     --------------

     The Company's Employee Benefits Administrative Committee (the
     "Administrative Committee") is the Plan administrator. Fidelity is the
     Trustee with custodial responsibility for the Plan's assets. The Plan is
     liable for all administrative expenses not paid by the Company. At the
     direction of the Administrative Committee, the Plan's administrative
     expenses for 1998 and 1997 were paid by the Company.

(4)  Income Tax Status
     -----------------

     The Plan is intended to be qualified under the Internal Revenue Code (the
     "IRC"). A favorable ruling was obtained from the IRS as to the tax-exempt
     status of the Plan in May 1997.

(5)  Transactions with Parties In Interest
     -------------------------------------

     During the year ended December 31, 1998, the Plan purchased 2,103,273
     shares of the Common Stock of HBO & Company, the Plan sponsor, for
     $30,301,298, and sold 304,892 shares of the Common Stock of HBO & Company
     for $10,529,746 in accordance with the terms of the Plan.

     of the Common Stock of HBO & Company, the Plan sponsor, for $8,980,274, and

(9)  Subsequent Events
     -----------------
     In January 1999, the Company merged with McKesson, Inc. and a decision was
     made to merge the profit sharing plans of both companies. The plans were
     merged effective April 1, 1999, forming the McKesson HBOC, Inc. Profit
     Sharing Investment Plan. In conjunction with the merger, several amendments
     were made to the Plan provisions, including a change that matching
     contributions consist entirely of McKesson HBOC, Inc. common stock and a
     change in Plan eligibility requirements. Subsequent to the Plan's merger,
     the Plan's investment in the common stock of McKesson HBOC, Inc. had a
     significant decline in market value.
