Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

Washington Business Corporation Act, Section 23A.08.025, allows indemnification by the Registrant to any person made or threatened to be made a party to any proceedings, other than a proceeding by or in the right of the Registrant, by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Registrant, against expenses, including judgments and fines, if he acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Registrant and, with respect to criminal actions, in which he had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful. Similar provisions apply to actions brought by or in the right of the Registrant, except that no indemnification shall be made in proceedings in which the person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Corporation. Indemnifications are to be made by a majority vote of a quorum of disinterested directors or the written opinion of independent counsel or by the shareholders.

Article V of the Registrant's By-Laws provides that indemnification shall be extended to any of the persons described above to the full extent permitted by the Washington Business Corporation Act.

Item 8. Exhibits

See the Index to Exhibits included herewith at page 7.

Item 9. Undertakings

9.1 The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes to file during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement (i) to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933, (ii) to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this Registration Statement and (iii) to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to such information in the Registration Statement; provided, however, that (i) and (ii) shall not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective


amendment is contained in periodic reports filed by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement.

9.2 The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new Registration Statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

9.3 The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes to remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

9.4 The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to
Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

9.5 Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit, or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

under circumstances that require registration or

qualification of the securities under applicable federal or

state securities laws, then the Company, at its own expense,

will take, or cause to


be taken, any and all such actions as may be necessary or

appropriate to effect such registration or qualification.

(f) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agree-

ment or the Plan, whenever the Trustee is subject to

the Employer and the Trustee, any or all of its fiduciary

responsibilities, to a person designated by it. An Investment

Manager may be named by the Committee as provided in ERISA

Fiduciary specifically consents to begin a Named Fiduciary within

the meaning of ERISA.

of the names and specimen signatures of all members of the

such communication and shall not be required to verify the

accuracy or validity thereof unless it has reasonable grounds to

TRUST AGREEMENT

This Trust Fund Agreement is made by and between Cintas

Corporation, having its principal place of business in

Cincinnati, Ohio (the "Employer"), and SCUDDER TRUST COMPANY,

having its principal place of business in Salem, New Hampshire,

(the "Trustee").

WHEREAS, the Employer has established a retirement plan, the

Cintas Partners' Plan (the "Plan") for its employees pursuant to

Internal Revenue Code, (the "Code"), Section 401(a);

WHEREAS, Scudder Trust Company has accepted its appointment

as Trustee for this Plan;

WHEREAS, a Plan Administrator has been appointed to

administer the Plan (the "Plan Administrator"); and

WHEREAS, under the Plan, funds to be invested in the Trust

will be contributed to the Trustee, which funds will constitute a

Trust Fund to be held for the exclusive benefit of the

participants in the Plan or their beneficiaries, including

payment of certain expenses.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of these premises and of

the mutual covenants contained in this document, the Employer

agrees as follows:

1. Trust Fund.

The Trustee shall open and maintain a Trust Fund for the

Plan. The assets of the Trust Fund may be segregated into

individual accounts or pooled as specified by the Employer

pursuant to the


Plan. In no event may any segregation of assets require their

physical separation.

All contributions to the Trust Fund, any assets into which

such contributions shall be invested or reinvested, any transfers

to the Trust Fund, and any earnings on the assets into which

contributions or transfers are reinvested, shall be referred to

in this Trust Fund Agreement as the "Trust Fund."

The assets of the Trust Fund shall be held for the exclusive

benefit of employees or former employees of the Employer, or

their beneficiaries, or for the payment of expenses of

administering the Plan.

Any assets in the Trust Fund may be registered in the name

of the Trustee or any suitable nominee designated by the Trustee.

The Trust Fund shall be administered separately from any

other plan of the Employer and any other Trust of the Plan and

shall not include any assets of any other plan of the Employer

unless those assets are transferred pursuant to the Plan from

another plan by an employee of the Employer.

2. Investment of the Trust Fund.

(a) The Trust Fund shall be solely invested and reinvested

pursuant to the Plan and the Trustee shall have no

investment discretion regarding any assets of the Plan.

In no case without the consent of the Trustee, which

consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, will the

Trust Fund be invested in assets other than investment


companies managed by Scudder, Stevens & Clark, Inc.,

the Scudder Managed GIC Trust, the Scudder Managed

Retirement Trust, the Scudder Stock Index Fund, or

Employer Stock.

(b) The Trustee shall have full power and authority to

invest and reinvest in any property specified in the

instructions communicated by the Plan Administrator to

the Trustee. The Plan Administrator and the Trustee

may also adopt procedures permitting Participants to

convey their investment instructions directly to the

Trustee.

(c) The Trustee may invest in one or more collective

investment trusts (including, without limitation, any

such trusts administered by the Trustee or any

affiliate of the Trustee) organized for the collective

investment of assets of employee pension or profit

sharing trusts, as long as each such collective

investment trust constitutes a qualified trust under

the applicable provisions of the Code, and while any

portion of the Trust is so invested, such collective

investment trusts shall constitute part of the Plan,

and the instrument creating such trusts shall

constitute part of this Trust Fund Agreement.

(d) The Trustee may rely conclusively on any investment

instructions communicated to the Trustee by the Plan

Administrator (or any other party authorized to make

investment decisions under the Plan) and shall have no


responsibility to see that the investment instructions

comply with the terms of the Plan. However, if the

Trustee receives any instructions from the Plan

Administrator or any other party with investment

discretion that appear to the Trustee in its sole

discretion to be incomplete or unclear, the Trustee

shall not be required to act on such instructions and

may hold uninvested any assets of the Plan without

liability until suitable instructions are received.

(e) If the investment instructions are incomplete or

unclear, the Trustee must notify the Plan Administrator

within three business days.

(f) In the absence of proper investment direction, the

Trustee shall not be liable for interest or market loss

on any cash balances maintained in the Trust Fund.

3. Contributions.

(a) All contributions to the Trust Fund shall be in cash

unless the Trustee agrees otherwise. In such a case,

the Trustee shall be under no duty to accept

contributions in any other form unless pursuant to

prior and specific written consent by the Trustee.

(b) Whenever the Employer makes a contribution on behalf of

a participant, the Plan Administrator shall ascertain

that the participant or other party with investment

discretion has received a copy of the current

prospectus


relating to the shares of any outside Investment

Company in which such contribution is to be invested,

plus, where required by any state or federal law, the

current prospectus relating to any other outside

investment in which contributions may be invested.

(c) The Trustee shall not receive a contribution on behalf

of a participant unless forwarded to the Trustee by the

Plan Administrator.

(d) If contributions and investment instructions are to be

sent by mechanical means, it shall be the

responsibility of the Plan Administrator to determine

in advance that such means are acceptable to the

Trustee. In the absence of such advance notice, any

incompatible transmission shall be considered an

incomplete or unclear instruction to the Trustee under

Section 2(d) of this Agreement.

(e) The Trustee shall have no responsibility for

determining that contributions submitted by the Plan

Administrator comply with the terms of the Plan.

4. Distributions.

(a) The Trustee shall make, or cause to be made,

distributions from the Trust Fund as the Plan

Administrator authorizes in writing, or any other means

acceptable to the Trustee. Such authorization shall be

deemed to be a representation from the Plan

Administrator that:


(i) the distribution is for the exclusive benefit of

the Participants or former Participants of the

Plan or their beneficiaries;

(ii) the distribution is made pursuant to the terms of

the Plan and that the participant has received any

notices or other necessary document(s) pursuant to

the requirements of the Plan or any applicable

law; or

(iii) the distribution is for the payment of

reasonable and necessary expenses of

administering the Plan.

(b) At the Trustee's option, the Trustee may make

distributions from the Trust Fund to the Plan

Administrator, or another party, who acts as payor for

the Plan.

(c) The Plan Administrator shall maintain the files of

beneficiary designations, unless the Trustee agrees to

maintain such files.

(d) The Trustee shall not be liable for determining the

propriety of any distribution made upon an order of the

Plan Administrator which complies with subsection (a)

of this section.


5. The Plan Administrator.

(a) The Employer shall be the Plan Administrator, unless

the Employer designates another person or persons.

(b) The Plan shall be administered by the Plan

Administrator as provided for in the Plan, and the

Trustee shall have no duties with respect to the

administration of the Plan.

(c) The Plan Administrator shall furnish the Trustee with

certificates naming the person or persons authorized to

give instructions on behalf of the Plan Administrator,

and provide specimens of their signatures. All

requests, directions, requisitions for money and

instructions by the Plan Administrator to the Trustee

shall be in writing (or any other means acceptable to

the Trustee) and signed by such person or persons as

the Plan Administrator may designate from time to time.

Such orders may be standing requests, directions,

requisitions, or instructions but they shall be

contingent upon the Trustee's determination that they

are administratively feasible.

(d) The Plan Administrator shall keep custody of

beneficiary forms.

6. The Employer.

(a) Any pertinent vote or resolution of the Board of

Directors of the Employer shall be certified to the

Trustee over the signature of the Secretary or an


Assistant Secretary of the Employer and under the

Employer's corporate seal.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this

Document, if the Plan is properly terminated according

to the original Plan's terms and conditions after the

Employer receives a determination letter from the

Director of the Internal Revenue Service stating that

the Plan initially fails to qualify under Section

401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code, the Employer

reserves the right to direct the Trustee by an action

of the Employer's Board of Directors to transfer the

Trust Fund to the Employer, subject to claims against

the Trust Fund for administrative expenses. The

Employer shall direct the Trustee to transfer to the

employees the portion of the Trust Fund the Plan

requires to be transferred to employees on account of

their contributions. The Trustee shall not be

responsible for the Trust Fund after the distribution

pursuant to the Employer's direction. If such

termination ceases to be possible, this section shall

be of no further force or effect.

7. The Trustee.

(a) The Trustee shall keep accurate and detailed accounts

of all investments, receipts and disbursements and

other transactions, and all books and records relating

to these transactions shall be open at all reasonable

times to


inspection and audit by any person or persons the Plan

Administrator or the Employer designates.

(i) The Trustee shall keep the accounts pooled or

individually segregated, as the Plan Administrator

may direct pursuant to the Plan. The Trustee

shall provide any report required under this

Agreement on an account by account basis as the

accounts have been established pursuant to the

direction of the Plan Administrator.

(ii) Unless the Trustee and Plan Administrator agree

otherwise in writing, for purposes of calculating

gain or loss and recording contributions, the

Trustee shall provide account records on a

periodic basis to the Plan Administrator or such

person as the Plan Administrator may delegate in

writing.

(iii) Participant loan records shall be maintained

and reported in a manner agreed upon in

writing by the Employer and the Trustee. In

no event shall any participant loan notes be

held by the Trustee.

(b) The Trustee shall have no duty to take any action other

than as specified in this Agreement, unless the Plan

Administrator or, in the case of investment decisions,


any other party authorized to make investment

decisions, furnishes the Trustee with instructions in

the proper form, and the instructions have been

specifically agreed to by the Trustee. In addition,

the Trustee shall have no duty to defend or engage in

any suit unless the Trustee has first agreed to do so

in writing and has been fully indemnified to its

satisfaction.

(c) The Trustee may conclusively rely upon and shall be

protected in acting in good faith upon any written

representation or order or other form of communication

acceptable to the Trustee, from the Plan Administrator,

or, in the case of investment decisions, any other

party authorized to make investment decisions, or any

other notice, request, consent, certificate or other

instrument or paper which the Trustee believes to be

genuine and properly executed, or any instrument or

paper if the Trustee believes the signatures on the

instrument or paper to be genuine.

(d) The Trustee shall have no investment responsibility.

(e) The Trustee shall have no responsibility to ensure that

the Plan is, or continues to be a qualified plan, and

the Employer agrees to indemnify the Trustee for any

estate or income taxes which may be due if the plan is

ever disqualified.


(f) The Trustee shall deliver, or cause to be executed and

delivered, to the Plan Administrator or to such

individual(s) designated by the Administrator all

notices, prospectuses, financial statements, proxies

and proxy soliciting materials received by the Trustee

relating to securities held by the Trust. If the

materials are to be delivered to the Administrator, and

the Administrator is not entitled to make investment

decisions under the Plan, the Administrator shall

deliver these to the individual(s) entitled to make

investment decisions under the Plan. The Trustee shall

vote any securities held by the Trustee in accordance

with the written instructions of the individual(s)

entitled to make decisions under the Plan. Such

instructions shall be delivered to the Trustee by the

Administrator, or such other person(s) designated by

the Administrator. If, however, the Trustee has not

received instructions for voting the securities before

two full business days prior to the meeting at which

the securities are to be voted, the Trustee shall not

vote the securities unless they are shares of an

Investment Company sponsored by Scudder, Stevens &

Clark, Inc. or its successor, in which case, the

Trustee shall be entitled to vote the shares of such an

Investment Company. The Trustee shall vote either in

person or by proxy, for or against each proposal, or


abstain from voting on each proposal, in the same

proportion as all other shares of the Investment

Company vote or abstain from voting at the shareholder

meeting. However, the Trustee is not required to vote

particular shares of such Investment Company if all of

the shares of the Investment Company to which the

Trustee has not received instructions are voted in the

aggregate in the same proportion as all other shares of

the Investment Company vote or abstain from voting.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in order for the Trustee

to vote shares of an Investment Company without

instructions from the person or persons entitled to

make investment decisions, the Trustee must receive an

opinion from its counsel that voting shares of an

Investment Company without instructions and in the

manner set forth above is not contrary to the

provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security

Act and its rules and regulations. The Trustee shall

not be obligated to seek such counsel.

(g) The Trustee shall have no responsibility for preparing

or filing any reports required under Section 13 of the

Securities Act of 1934, or for preparing and filing any

other documents in connection with employer securities.

(h) The Trustee may employ legal counsel (who may be

counsel for the Employer), and shall be fully protected

in acting


or refraining from acting upon such counsel's advice in

respect to any legal questions.

(i) The Trustee shall be entitled to be reimbursed for its

reasonable expenses and shall be entitled to reasonable

compensation for its services as provided for in the

Schedule A attached to this Agreement. All reasonable

administrative expenses incurred by the Trustee in the

performances of its duties, including fees for legal

services provided to the Trustee, shall be paid by the

Employer within a reasonable time as specified by the

Trustee, or may be equitably apportioned among the

accounts at the Employer's option.

(j) Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or

with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation

resulting from any merger, reorganization or

consolidation to which such Trustee may be a party,

shall be the successor of the Trustee, without the

necessity of any appointment or other action, provided

it does not resign and is not removed.

(k) The Trustee shall appoint a Custodian to hold in

custody any stock of the Employer purchased pursuant to

the provisions of the plan.

8. Limitation of Trustee's Liability: Indemnification.

Nothing in this Trust Fund Agreement or the Plan of which it

is a part shall relieve any person from liability for any


responsibility under Part 4 of Title 1 of the Employee

Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA). Subject to ERISA,

the Trustee shall have no liability under the Plan, except

as may arise from its negligence or willful misconduct. In

any event, the Employer shall fully indemnify the Trustee

and save it harmless from any liability except that

resulting from the Trustee's negligence or willful

misconduct.

9. Resignation or Removal of Trustee.

(a) Any Trustee may resign at any time upon sixty (60)

days' written notice to the Employer, and the Employer

may remove any Trustee at any time upon sixty (60)

days' written notice to the Trustee; provided, however,

that the parties may waive such notice by written

instrument.

(b) If any Trustee shall resign, be removed or for any

other reason cease to be Trustee, the Employer shall

appoint a successor Trustee or Trustees to whom the

Trustee shall promptly deliver all of the assets of the

Trust Fund less any unpaid fees or expenses. If no

such successor Trustee is appointed, the Trustee may

deliver the assets of the Trust Fund less any unpaid

fees or expenses to the Employer as successor Trustee.

(c) Subject to the provisions in a) and b) above, any

resignation or removal of the Trustee or appointment of

a new Trustee shall be by written instrument and shall

become effective on the date specified in the

instrument.


Any successor Trustee shall have the same powers and

duties as the succeeded Trustee, subject to any changes

as the Employer may then determine.

(d) The appointment of any successor Trustee or Trustees

shall immediately vest title to the assets of the Trust

Fund in the successor Trustee or Trustees without any

separate instrument or conveyance. However, upon

request of the successor Trustee or Trustees, the

Employer and Trustee who ceases to act as Trustee shall

execute and deliver any instruments of conveyance and

any further assurances, and do anything else reasonably

required to fully vest and confirm in the successor

Trustee or Trustees all the rights, title and interest

of the retiring Trustee in the Trust Fund.

10. Amendment or Termination.

(a) Pursuant to the Plan, the Employer and the Trustee

reserve the right to amend any or all of the provisions

of this Agreement upon mutual agreement. The Employer

and Trustee may also amend any or all of the provisions

of this Agreement at any time by written notice

delivered to the other party, provided that no

amendment which affects the rights, duties or

responsibilities of the Trustee may be made without the

Trustee's consent. Such amendment shall be deemed

accepted by the other party unless the other party

objects in writing to the


amendment within 30 days of receiving notice of such

amendment. No amendment shall authorize or permit any

part of the corpus or income of the Trust Fund to be

used for or diverted to purposes other than for the

exclusive benefit of the plan participants, their

beneficiaries, spouses and contingent annuitants,

before all liabilities relating to these individuals

have been satisfied. Any amendment shall be effective

upon delivery to and consent by the other party subject

to the 30 day rule applicable to unilateral amendments

above, unless a different effective date is

specifically stated in the amendment. Any amendment

may be made retroactively.

The Employer also reserves the right to terminate this

Agreement at any time by written notice to the Trustee.

(b) Upon certification by the Employer that the Plan has

been terminated and that the Trust Fund or part of the

Trust Fund is to be distributed in accordance with the

termination provisions of the Plan, the Trustee shall

pay the distributions from the Trust Fund as the Plan

Administrator directs. The distributions will be made

either directly to the persons entitled to receive them

or to the Plan Administrator for distribution, provided

the Plan Administrator certifies to the Trustee that

all distributions are payable under the Plan to

participants or their beneficiaries, or for

administrative expenses of


the Plan or for other payments in accordance with the

Plan provisions.

11. Taxes.

(a) The Trustee may assume that any taxes assessed on or in

respect of the Trust Fund are lawfully assessed unless

the Plan Administrator advises the Trustee in writing

that in the opinion of the Employer's counsel, such

taxes are not lawfully assessed. In the event that the

Plan Administrator advises the Trustee of the disputed

assessment, the Trustee, if the Plan Administrator

requests and suitable provisions for the Trustee's

indemnity have been made, shall contest the validity of

such taxes in any manner deemed appropriate by the Plan

Administrator or the Employer's counsel. The word

"taxes" in this section shall be deemed to include any

interest or penalties that may be levied or imposed on

any taxes assessed.

(b) Any taxes of any kind whatsoever, including transfer

taxes incurred, levied, or assessed in connection with

the investment or reinvestment of the assets of the

Trust Fund, shall, if allocable to the accounts of

specific participants, be charged to such accounts. If

not so allocable, they shall be equitably apportioned

among all the participants' accounts.


12. Enforcement of Provisions.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Employer or

the Plan Administrator shall have the exclusive right to

enforce any and all provisions of this Agreement on behalf

of all employees or former employees of the Employer, their

beneficiaries, or other persons having or claiming to have

an interest in the Trust Fund or under the Plan. In any

action or proceeding affecting the Trust Fund (or any

property constituting a part of all thereof), the

administration of the Trust Fund, or instructions to the

Trustee under this Agreement, the Employer, the Plan

Administrator and the Trustee shall be the only necessary

parties. They shall be exclusively entitled to any notice

of process of any action or proceeding; however, any

judgment that may be entered in such action or proceeding

shall be binding and conclusive on all persons having or

claiming to have any interest in the Trust Fund or under the

Plan.

13. Governing Law.

To the extent state law is applicable, this instrument shall

be governed by and interpreted under the laws of the State

of New Hampshire.

14. Acceptance.

The Trustee accepts the Trust Fund.


15. Signatures.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Parties have caused this Trust Fund

Agreement, which shall be effective September 30, 1994, to be

executed by their respective officers.

Gentlemen:

We serve as your general counsel and are familiar with your Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws and corporate proceedings generally. We have reviewed the corporate records as to the establishment of your Partners' Plan which calls for the issuance of shares of Common Stock to employees of the Company. Based solely upon such examination and considerations, we are of the opinion:

1. That Cintas Corporation is a duly organized and validly existing corporation under the laws of Washington; and

2. That the Corporation has taken all necessary and required corporate actions in connection with the proposed issuance of up to 300,000 shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Partners' Plan and the Common Stock, when issued and delivered, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock of the Corporation free of any claim of pre-emptive rights.

We hereby consent to be named in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus part thereof as the attorneys who have passed upon legal matters in connection with the issuance of the afore- said Common Stock and to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement.

Very truly yours,
