NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY AGREED AS FOLLOWS:

1. Employment Period. The Company shall continue to employ the Executive, either directly or through a Subsidiary, and the Executive shall continue to serve the Company or any such Subsidiary, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, for the period beginning on October 1, 2003 (the “Employment Date”) and ending on September 30, 2005 (the “Employment Period”). In addition, the Employment Period shall automatically renew for periods of two years unless one party gives written notice to the other, at least 60 days prior to the end of the initial or any renewal period, as applicable, that the Agreement shall not be further extended. In addition, the Executive’s employment may be terminated as provided below in Section 4.

2. Position and Duties.

(a) During the Employment Period, the Executive shall be employed as the Chief Executive Officer of the Company. The Executive shall report to the Board and shall perform such duties for the Company as are related typically to the office of Chief Executive Officer, in the manner reasonably directed by the Board, in its sole discretion. For so long as and during the period in which the executive is serving as the Chief Executive Officer, the Company shall use its best efforts to cause the Executive to be nominated and elected, and, if elected by the Company’s shareholders, the Executive shall serve as a member of the Board.

(b) During the Employment Period, and excluding any periods of vacation and absence due to intermittent illness to which the Executive is entitled, any services that are approved by the Executive’s direct supervisor on corporate, civic or charitable boards or committees not significantly interfering with the performance of his responsibilities to the Company or violating the provisions of Section 9, the Executive shall devote his full time and attention during normal business hours to the business and affairs of the Company and the Executive shall use reasonable efforts to carry out all duties and responsibilities assigned to him faithfully and efficiently.

3. Compensation.

(a) Base Salary. During the Employment Period, the Executive shall continue to receive annual base salary at the rate in effect as of the date of this Agreement, payable in accordance with the regular payroll practices of the Company. The Executive’s base salary shall be reviewed annually by the Committee, in accordance with the Company’s standard practices for executives generally, and may be increased as determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion.

(b) Annual Bonus and Incentive Plans; Other Benefits. During the Employment Period: (i) the Executive shall be entitled to participate in any short-term and long-term incentive programs established and/or maintained by the Company for its senior level executives generally; (ii) the Executive shall be entitled to continue to participate in all incentive, savings and retirement plans, practices, policies and programs of the Company to at least the same extent as other senior executives of the Company; (iii) the Executive and/or the Executive’s family, as the case may be, shall be eligible for continued participation in, and shall continue to receive all benefits under, all welfare benefit plans, practices, policies and programs provided by the Company to at least the same extent as other senior executives of the Company; and (iv) the Executive shall continue to be entitled to, and the Company shall continue to provide the Executive with, not less than the number of weeks of paid vacation during each calendar year to which the Executive is entitled as of the date of this Agreement. In addition to the foregoing, the Executive shall be entitled to annual reimbursement of up to $5,000 per year for tax and financial planning and tax preparation.

(c) Expenses. During the Employment Period, the Executive shall be entitled to receive prompt reimbursement for all reasonable expenses incurred by the Executive in carrying out the Executive’s duties under this Agreement, provided that the Executive complies with the generally applicable policies, practices and procedures of the Company for submission of expense reports, receipts, or similar documentation of such expenses.

4. Termination of Employment.

(a) Death or Disability. The Executive’s employment and the Employment Period shall terminate automatically upon the Executive’s death or long term Disability during the Employment Period. “Disability” shall be as defined under the Company’s Long Term Disability Plan.

(b) By the Company. The Company may terminate the Executive’s employment under this Agreement during the Employment Period for Cause or without Cause. “Cause” means

(i) the continued failure by the Executive to substantially perform his duties as contemplated by this Agreement (other than any such failure resulting from his incapacity due to physical or mental illness or injury or any such actual or anticipated failure after the issuance by the Executive of a Notice of Termination for Good Reason) over a period of not less than thirty days after a demand for substantial performance is delivered to the Executive by the Board, which demand identifies the manner in which the Board believes that the Executive has not substantially performed his duties;

(ii) the willful misconduct of the Executive materially and demonstrably injurious to the Company (including, without limitation, any breach by the Executive of Section 9 of this Agreement); provided that no act or failure to act on the Executive’s part will be considered willful if done, or omitted to be done, by him in good faith and with reasonable belief that his action or omission was in the best interest of the Company;

(iii) the Executive’s conviction of a misdemeanor, which, as determined in good faith by the Board, constitutes a crime of moral turpitude and gives rise to material harm to the Company or to any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company; or

(iv) the Executive’s conviction of a felony (including, without limitation, any felony constituting a crime of moral turpitude)..

2

(c) By the Executive. The Executive may terminate employment under this Agreement for Good Reason or without Good Reason. “Good Reason” means:

(i) any reduction in the Executive’s Base Salary;

(ii) material failure by the Company to comply with any provision of Sections 2 and 3 of this Agreement, other than an isolated, insubstantial or inadvertent failure that is not taken in bad faith and is remedied by the Company within 30 days after receipt of written notice thereof from the Executive; or

(iii) the failure of the Executive to be elected to the Board, or notice by the Company of non-renewal under Section 1.

A termination of employment by the Executive for Good Reason shall be effectuated by giving the Company written notice (“Notice of Termination for Good Reason”) of the termination, setting forth in reasonable detail the specific conduct that constitutes Good Reason and the specific provision(s) of this Agreement on which the Executive relies. The Company shall have 20 days to remedy the conduct set forth in the Notice of Termination for Good Reason. A termination of employment by the Executive for Good Reason shall be effective on the thirtieth business day following the date when the Notice of Termination for Good Reason is given, unless the conduct set forth in the notice is remedied by the Company within the 20-day period. A termination of the Executive’s employment by the Executive without Good Reason shall be effected by giving the Company at least 30 days’ advance written notice of the termination.

(d) Date of Termination. The “Date of Termination” means the date of the Executive’s death, the date of the Executive’s Disability, the date the termination of the Executive’s employment under this Agreement by the Company for Cause or without Cause or by the Executive for Good Reason or without Good Reason, as the case may be, is effective. The Employment Period shall end on the Date of Termination.

5. Obligations of the Company upon Termination.

(a) By the Company Other Than for Cause; or By the Executive for Good Reason. If, during the Employment Period, the Company terminates the Executive’s employment under this Agreement (other than for Cause) or the Executive terminates employment under this Agreement for Good Reason:

(1) the Executive shall be entitled to continued payment for two years after the Date of Termination of (i) the Executive’s current base salary (as in effect on the Date of Termination), and (ii) a bonus equal to the average of the annual bonuses paid by the Company to the Executive over the prior three years (or if less than three years, the average bonus during such shorter period) and

(2) if after the Date of Termination the Executive elects to receive continuation coverage under the Company’s group health plans pursuant to the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 (“COBRA”), the Executive shall be entitled to reimbursement from the Company for the COBRA premium costs of medical, prescription, dental and vision coverage, if any, under the Company’s group health plans (as in effect from time to time) for the Executive and, to the extent permitted under COBRA, the Executive’s spouse and eligible dependents, such reimbursement not to exceed the COBRA rates for such coverage and, unless

3

terminated sooner as described below, such reimbursement to continue for two years after the Date of Termination; provided, however, that the Executive shall be required to submit to the Company reasonable evidence of payment by the Executive of any such COBRA premiums in order to obtain reimbursement from the Company and that the Executive may not submit any requests for reimbursement of such payments more than once per calendar month; provided, further, that the Company, in its sole discretion, may elect for the first two calendar months (or portions thereof) of the two year period to remit any such payments directly on behalf of the Executive rather than requiring the Executive to remit such payments and seek reimbursement therefor from the Company; provided, further, that the obligations of the Company to reimburse any such payments shall terminate on the date of occurrence of the first to occur of any of the following, if any of the following should occur prior to the end of the two year period: (i) the date of commencement of eligibility of the Executive under the group health plan of any other employer or (ii) the date of commencement of eligibility of the Executive for Medicare benefits under Title XVIII of the Social Security Act (“Medicare Benefits”); and provided, further, that the Executive nevertheless shall be entitled to elect COBRA continuation coverage without reimbursement under the Company’s group health plans at the applicable COBRA premium rates through the date that is 18 months after the Date of Termination or, if earlier, the date that the Executive becomes covered under the group health plan of another employer or becomes eligible for Medicare Benefits, if the obligations of the Company to reimburse the Executive for COBRA premiums for continuation coverage under the Company’s group health plans should terminate prior to such date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above, the Company, in its sole discretion, may discontinue any coverage contemplated hereunder in the event that such continuation is not permitted under or would adversely affect the tax status of the plan or plans of the Company pursuant to which the coverage is provided, in which case the Company shall make supplemental severance payments to the Executive in monthly amounts equal to the amounts to which the Executive otherwise would have been entitled to reimbursement hereunder in respect of such coverage for the remainder of the period that the Company otherwise would have been obligated to make reimbursements hereunder to the Executive. Any amounts that are reimbursed to the Executive by the Company or paid directly to the Executive as supplemental severance payments will be considered taxable income to the Executive and any taxes on such amounts will be the Executive’s responsibility and subject to applicable tax withholding.

In addition, the Executive shall be entitled to receive executive level outplacement assistance under any outplacement assistance program then being maintained by the Company in accordance with the terms of any such program. The Company shall also pay, or cause to be paid, to the Executive, in a lump sum in cash within 30 days after the Date of Termination (or, in the case of the pro-rated Annual Bonus Amount, at the time such bonus is generally paid), the Executive’s accrued but unpaid cash compensation (the “Accrued Obligations”), which shall include but not be limited to, (W) the Executive’s base salary through the Date of Termination that has not yet been paid (X) an amount representing a 100% target bonus for the Executive’s salary grade for the year of termination, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the current fiscal year through the Date of Termination, and the denominator of which is 365 (the “Annual Bonus Amount”), (Y) any accrued but unpaid vacation pay, and (Z) similar unpaid items that have accrued and as to which the Executive has become entitled as of the Date of Termination, including declared but unpaid bonuses and unreimbursed employee business expenses; provided, however, that the Company’s obligation to make any payments, or cause any payments to be made, under this paragraph (a) to the extent any such payment shall not have accrued as of the day before the Date of Termination shall also be conditioned upon the Executive’s execution, and non-revocation, of a written release, substantially in the form attached hereto as Annex 1, of any and all claims against the Company and all related parties with respect to all matters arising out of the Executive’s employment under this Agreement or the termination thereof (other than any entitlements

4

under the terms of this Agreement to indemnification or under any other plans or programs of the Company in which the Executive participated and under which the Executive has accrued and is due a benefit).

(b) Death or Disability. If the Executive’s employment is terminated by reason of the Executive’s death or Disability during the Employment Period, the Company shall pay the Accrued Obligations to the Executive or the Executive’s estate or legal representative, as applicable, in a lump sum in cash within 30 days after the Date of Termination. In such event, the Company shall have no further obligations under this Agreement or otherwise to or with respect to the Executive; and for any entitlements under the terms of any other plans or programs of the Company in which the Executive participated and under which the Executive has become entitled to a benefit.

(c) By the Company for Cause; By the Executive Other than for Good Reason. If the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company for Cause during the Employment Period, or the Executive voluntarily terminates employment during the Employment Period, other than for Good Reason, the Company shall pay the Executive, or shall cause the Executive to be paid, the Executive’s base salary through the Date of Termination that has not been paid and the amount of any declared but unpaid bonuses, accrued but unpaid vacation pay, and unreimbursed employee business expenses, and the Company shall have no further obligations under this Agreement or otherwise to or with respect to the Executive other than for any entitlements under the terms of any other plans or programs of the Company in which the Executive participated and under which the Executive has become entitled to a benefit.

6. Change in Control. It is the intention of the parties that payments to be made to the Executive whether under the terms of this Agreement or otherwise shall not constitute “excess parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (as amended from time to time) (the “Code) and any regulations thereunder. If the independent accountants serving as auditors for the Company on the date of this Agreement (or any other independent certified public accounting firm designated by the Company) determine that any payment or distribution by the Company to or for the benefit of the Executive (whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise) would be nondeductible by the Company, under Section 280G of the Code (or any successor provision), then the amounts payable or distributable under this Agreement will be reduced to the maximum amount which may be paid or distributed without causing such payments or distributions to be nondeductible. The determination shall take into account (a) whether the payments or distributions are “parachute payments” under Section 280G, (b) the amount of payments and distributions under this Agreement that constitute reasonable compensation, and (c) the present value of such payments and distributions determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations in effect from time to time. The Executive shall have the right to designate which payments or distributions will be reduced.

7. Non-exclusivity of Rights. Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or limit the Executive’s continuing or future participation in any plan, program, policy or practice provided by the Company for which the Executive may qualify. Vested benefits and other amounts that the Executive is otherwise entitled to receive on or after the Date of Termination under any plan, policy, practice or program of, or any contract or agreement with, the Company shall be payable in accordance with such plan, policy, practice, program, contract or agreement, as the case may be, except as explicitly modified by this Agreement.

8. No Mitigation. In no event shall the Executive be obligated to seek other employment or take any other action by way of mitigation of the amounts payable to the Executive under any of the provisions of this Agreement and such amounts shall not be reduced, regardless of whether the Executive obtains other employment.

5

9. Confidential Information; Non-solicitation; Non-competition.

(a) The Executive agrees and acknowledges that by reason of his employment by and service to the Company, he will have access to, become exposed to and/or become knowledgeable about confidential information of the Company (the “Confidential Information”) from time to time during the Employment Period, including, without limitation, proposals, plans, inventions, practices, systems, programs, processes, methods, techniques, research, records, supplier sources, customer lists and other forms of business information that are not known to the Company’s competitors, are not recognized as being encompassed within standard business or management practices and/or are kept secret and confidential by the Company. Executive agrees that at no time during or after the Employment Period will he disclose or use the Confidential Information except as may be required in the prudent course of business for the benefit of the Company. The Executive also agrees to be subject to the Company’s Code of Ethics and Business Conduct as in effect from time to time during the Employment Period.

(b) The Executive acknowledges that the Company is generally engaged in business throughout the United States. During the Executive’s employment by the Company and for two years after the Date of Termination or the expiration of the final Employment Period, the Executive agrees that he will not, unless acting with the prior written consent of the Company, directly or indirectly, own, manage, control, or participate in the ownership, management or control of, or be employed or engaged by, or otherwise affiliated or associated with, as an officer, director, employee, consultant, independent contractor or otherwise, any other corporation, partnership, proprietorship, firm, association or other business entity, or otherwise engage in any business, which is engaged in the wholesale distribution of pharmaceutical products as of the Date of Termination or expiration of the final Employment Period, as applicable, is engaged in by the Company, has been reviewed with the Board for development to be owned or managed by the Company, and/or has been divested by the Company but as to which the Company has an obligation to refrain from involvement, but only for so long as such restriction applies to the Company; provided, however, that the ownership of not more than 5% of the equity of a publicly traded entity shall not be deemed to be a violation of this paragraph. During such two-year period, Executive also agrees to make himself reasonably available to the Company for consulting at a per diem rate that reflects his annual salary as in an effect prior to his termination of employment (plus reimbursement of Executive’s reasonable expenses). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Executive shall be relieved of the covenants provided for in this subsection in the event that the Company fails to make payments to Executive as provided for in Section 5(a) of this Agreement.

(c) The Executive also agrees that he will not, directly or indirectly, during the period described in paragraph (b) of this Section 9 induce any person who is an employee, officer, director, or agent of the Company, to terminate such relationship, or employ, assist in employing or otherwise be associated in business with any present or former employee or officer of the Company, including without limitation those who commence such positions with the Company after the Date of Termination.

(d) The Executive acknowledges and agrees that the restrictions contained in this Section 9 are reasonable and necessary to protect and preserve the legitimate interests, properties, goodwill and business of the Company, that the Company would not have entered into this Agreement in the absence of such restrictions and that irreparable injury will be suffered by the Company should the Executive breach the provisions of this Section. The Executive represents and acknowledges that (i) the Executive has been advised by the Company to consult the Executive’s own legal counsel in respect of

6

this Agreement, (ii) the Executive has consulted with and been advised by his own counsel in respect of this Agreement, and (iii) the Executive has had full opportunity, prior to execution of this Agreement, to review thoroughly this Agreement with the Executive’s counsel.

(e) The Executive further acknowledges and agrees that a breach of the restrictions in this Section 9 will not be adequately compensated by monetary damages. The Executive agrees that actual damage may be difficult to ascertain and that, in the event of any such breach, the Company shall be entitled to injunctive relief in addition to such other legal or equitable remedies as may be available to the Company. In the event that the provisions of this Section 9 should ever be adjudicated to exceed the limitations permitted by applicable law in any jurisdiction, it is the intention of the parties that the provision shall be amended such that those provisions are made consistent with the maximum limitations permitted by applicable law, that such amendment shall apply only within the jurisdiction of the court that made such adjudication and that those provisions otherwise be enforced to the maximum extent permitted by law.

(f) If the Executive breaches his obligations under this Section 9, he agrees that suit may be brought, and that he consents to personal jurisdiction, in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, or if such court does not have jurisdiction or will not accept jurisdiction, in any court of general jurisdiction in Chester County, Pennsylvania; consents to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any such court in any such suit, action or proceeding; and waives any objection which he may have to the laying of venue of any such suit, action or proceeding in any such court. The Executive also irrevocably and unconditionally consents to the service of any process, pleadings, notices or other papers.

(g) For purposes of this Section 9, the term “Company” shall be deemed to include subsidiaries and affiliates of the Company.

10. Successors.

(a) This Agreement is personal to the Executive and, without the prior written consent of the Company, shall not be assignable by the Executive otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Executive’s legal representatives.

(b) This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Company and its successors and assigns.

(c) The Company shall require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company expressly to assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would have been required to perform it if no such succession had taken place. As used in this Agreement, “Company” shall mean both the Company as defined above and any such successor that assumes and agrees to perform this Agreement, by operation of law or otherwise.

11. Miscellaneous.

(a) This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, without reference to principles of conflict of laws. The captions of this Agreement are not part of the provisions hereof and shall have no force or effect. This Agreement may not be amended or modified except by a written agreement executed by the parties

7

hereto or their respective successors and legal representatives. This Agreement supersedes the provisions of, and the Executive shall not be entitled to any rights or benefits, including but not limited to termination rights or severance benefits, under any other agreement with or commitment of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, including but not limited to the Employment Agreement dated September 4, 1997 between AmerisourceBergen Services Corporation (formerly known as AmeriSource Health Corporation) and the Executive.

(b) All notices and other communications under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be given by hand to the other party or by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed as follows:

or to such other address as either party furnishes to the other in writing in accordance with this paragraph (b) of Section 11. Notices and communications shall be effective when actually received by the addressee.

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

(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Company may withhold from amounts payable under this Agreement all federal, state, local and foreign taxes that are required to be withheld by applicable laws or regulations.

(e) The Executive’s or the Company’s failure to insist upon strict compliance with any provision of, or to assert any right under, this Agreement (including, without limitation, the right of the Executive to terminate employment for Good Reason pursuant to paragraph (c) of Section 5 of this Agreement) shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such provision or right or of any other provision of or right under this Agreement.

(f) This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, and said counterparts shall constitute but one and the same instrument.

8

12. The respective rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall survive any termination of the Executive’s employment to the extent necessary to the intended preservation of such rights and obligations, including, but not by way of limitation, those rights and obligations set forth in Sections 3, 5, 6, 9 and 11.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Executive has hereunto set the Executive’s hand and, pursuant to the authorization of the Committee, the Company has caused this Agreement to be executed in its name on its behalf, all as of the day and year first above written.
