This Cerner Associate Employment Agreement describes the
formal employment relationship between
_______J. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Copper______
ASSOCIATE (Print Name)
and Cerner Corporation, a Delaware corporation
This Agreement is effective on the ________ day of ______,
_________.
1. CERNER'S LETTER OFFERING EMPLOYMENT TO YOU.
------------------------------------------
The position, terms, compensation, benefits and other
provisions of your offer letter represent the
conditions of your Cerner employment. The offer letter
is incorporated into this Agreement as Attachment I.
Cerner reserves the right to modify at anytime the
conditions of your employment by Cerner.
2. EMPLOYMENT RELATIONSHIP.
-----------------------
A. Formation.
--------- By signing this Agreement, you
represent that every material fact contained
in your resume and application for employment
with Cerner is true and accurate to the best
of your knowledge and belief. You also agree
that falsification of your resume or
application is grounds for immediate
discharge.
B. Type.
---- To the extent permitted by law, your
employment relationship with Cerner is "at
will", which means that you may resign from
Cerner at any time, for any reason, or for no
reason at all, and without advance notice
(except as described below). It also means
that Cerner may terminate your employment
at any time, for any legally permitted reason,
or for no reason at all, and without advance
notice.
C. Resignation and Termination.
---------------------------- You agree to
cooperate with Cerner by participating fully
in an exit interview in the event you leave
the employ of Cerner. You agree to give Cerner
written notice of your intention to resign
from employment at least twenty (20) business
days prior to the last day you intend to work
at Cerner. To facilitate the provisions of
paragraphs 7 and 8 of this agreement, you also
agree to report to Cerner, in conjunction with
your written notice of intent, the identity of
your new employer (if any) and the nature of
your proposed duties for that employer.
Cerner, however, reserves the right either to
accelerate your intended effective termination
date to an earlier actual date or to allow
your intended effective termination date to
stand.
If you resign, however, with fewer than twenty
(20) business days notice, or if you actually
leave Cerner's employ prior to expiration
of the twenty business days notice period and
without the permission of Cerner, then you
agree that (to the extent
_/s/JRC_____________
Associate's Initials
permitted by law) no salary or other
compensation otherwise due, from the date of
your resignation notice until the time of your
approved effective termination date, will be
owed or paid to you by Cerner. Failure to
provide a four week notice period may affect
your future rehire ability with Cerner.
If Cerner terminates your employment (and
unless the termination was due to your
dishonesty, illegal conduct, or breach of
Cerner's policy or this Agreement), Cerner
will pay you in conjunction with such
termination the equivalent of $10,000 per
month for the remaining period of your
employment contract which expires twenty
months after the Cerner acquisition of
Citation is completed. Further more, Cerner
agrees that you will be elgibile to receive
COBRA benefits for a perio of eighteen months
after termination or until October 31, 2003 at
your cost and election. You acknowledge that
the consideration for the increased severance
benefit beyond Cerner's standard severance
benefit is the termination by you of the
Severance Benefit in the Event of Termination
of Your Employment with Citation Computer
Systems, Inc. under Certain Circumstances
Following a Change of Control entered into by
and between you and Citation Computer Systems,
Inc. dated as of July 15, 1999. By
signing this agreement, you agree that such
agreement is terminated, and of no
further force and effect. You agree to execute
such further documents as may be reasonably
requested by Cerner to effectuate such
termination.
In the event Cerner terminates your
employment, Cerner reserves the right to set
the effective date of such termination. Upon
your resignation or the termination of your
employment, you agree to promptly execute
a Termination Statement in the form of
Attachment III.
3. AGREEMENT NOT TO DISCLOSE OR TO USE CONFIDENTIAL
-------------------------------------------------------
INFORMATION.
-----------
You agree that you will forever maintain the
confidentiality of Confidential Information. You will
never disclose Confidential Information except to
persons who have both the right and need to know it,
and then only for the purpose and in the course of
performing Cerner duties, or of permitting or assisting
in the authorized use of Cerner products and services.
In the event your employment with Cerner terminates
(voluntarily or involuntarily), you will promptly
deliver to Cerner all Confidential Information,
including any Confidential Information on any laptop,
computer or other communication equipment used by you
during your employment with Cerner.

Except for those part-time associates, hired to work
less than 40 hours per week, employment at Cerner is a

other employment activities that would detract from or
conflict with your ability to carry out your part-time
duties at Cerner.

develop, author, or conceive in whole or in part while

writing to Cerner. You further agree to maintain all
information respecting any New Products and Ideas as

any party outside of Cerner without the express
written approval of an officer of Cerner.
You agree to assign and transfer to Cerner, without
further consideration, your entire right, title and
interest in and to all such New Products and Ideas
including any patents, copyrights, trade secrets and
other proprietary rights in the same. You waive any
and all moral rights which you otherwise would have in
any New Products and Ideas.
You agree to execute promptly at Cerner's expense, a
written assignment of title to Cerner, and all letters
(and applications for letters) of patent and copyright,
in all countries, for any New Products or Ideas
required to be assigned by this Agreement. You also
agree to assist Cerner or its nominee in every
reasonable way (at Cerner's request and expense, but at
no charge to Cerner), both during and after your time
of employment at Cerner, in vesting and defending title
to the New Products and Ideas in and for Cerner, in any
and all countries, including the obtainment and
preservation of patents, copyrights, trade secrets and
other proprietary rights.

ideas which do not relate directly to the business of
Cerner, and which are developed entirely on your own
time. You acknowledge that this provision applies to
all products and ideas which relate to the business of
Citation Computer Systems, Inc. that were developed

you upon your fulfillment of the conditions set
forth above beginning in the 4th month of your

▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇
Dear ▇▇▇:
Under your leadership over the past 5 years, Citation has created
significant value as a recognized brand in the laboratory market. We
expect this brand and the product behind it to be valuable additions
to Cerner's enterprise-wide suite of HIS solutions. The value of the
Citation business, and the synergies with Cerner's solutions have been
validated by our due diligence process. Pending completion of the
proposed Cerner/Citation transaction, we look forward to joining
forces as we position our combined companies to make healthcare
smarter. Your leadership throughout the coming months will be critical
to the long-term success of this partnership.
While we understand that it is your intent to retire upon the
completion of the merger transaction, we believe your continued
involvement will be important as we capitalize on a unique set of
clinical offerings to the laboratory marketplace. As a result, we
would like to retain you in an advisory capacity after the transaction
closes. We believe that your expertise with Citation's business and
clients will be important to making an effective transition over the
coming months.
TERMS OF POSITION
-----------------
Upon closing of the transaction, and for a period of 18 months
thereafter, we are offering you a position as Senior Advisor,
Laboratory Systems. In this capacity, we expect you to spend, on
average 2-3 days per month as you serve in a consultative capacity to
Cerner's laboratory leadership team.
In this capacity, you will be considered an active part-time associate
entitled to all company benefits per our plans and receive a monthly
gross salary of $10,000. As this position may require personal
attendance at meetings or conferences in Kansas City or client sites,
we will also reimburse appropriate travel and business expenses. At
the conclusion of this advisory assignment you will also be eligible
to continue your health insurance through COBRA coverage for 18 months
or until September 30, 2003 at your option and expense.
Since you will not be technically retiring immediately after the
transaction closes, we agree that your Citation options will continue
to vest after they are converted to Cerner options under the terms of
the original stock option agreement and specified vesting schedule.
Upon leaving Cerner, the retirement provision of your stock options
will be triggered as set forth in your original CITATION stock option
agreements.
Your position at Cerner is a professional, exempt position that
requires a significant level of responsibility, discretion, and
independent judgment. As a result, it carries no additional
compensation for overtime worked.

AUTHORIZATION TO WORK
---------------------
Under the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 and regulations
of the Immigration and Naturalization Services, Cerner is required to
verify that each new associate is authorized to be employed in the
United States. As part of the verification procedure, you will be
asked on your first day of work to complete Form I-9, which verifies
your identity and indicates that you are authorized for employment. If
you are unable to present the required document(s) within 3 business
days of the date employment begins, you must (1) present a receipt for
the application for the document(s) within 3 business days; and (2)
indicate on the I-9 form that you are eligible to be employed in the
U.S. Failure to comply with these regulations will result in
termination of your employment. We will be happy to explain further
the documentation requirements for compliance with these regulations.
EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
--------------------
Cerner has established significant momentum in the development of
client relationships, professional staff, systems development
methodology, and proprietary software products. We regard these areas
as the most important assets owned by our Company. It is our intent to
guard these assets closely. Therefore, every associate of the Company
is required to execute an Employment Agreement. This Agreement
includes the terms of your employment relationship with Cerner, a
covenant not to disclose confidential client and internal information,
a covenant not to compete against our Company in certain markets, and
establishes that, during the term of your employment, the benefits of
your endeavors accrue to the Company. An Employment Agreement that has
been updated to reflect your specific terms is enclosed for your
review.
