Capitalized terms used and not defined in this Amendment have the meanings given to them in the Credit Agreement referred to below.

Preliminary Statements
(a)The Banks and the Borrower are parties to an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of February 10, 2012 (as the same may be amended, renewed, restated, replaced, consolidated or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”).
(b)    The Borrower has requested certain modifications to the terms of the Credit Agreement as set forth in this Amendment.
(c)    The Banks are willing to agree to the requested modifications, subject, however, to the terms, conditions and agreements set forth below.
NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:
1.    Modification to Section 1.1 -- Definition of “Guarantor Subsidiary.” The definition of “Guarantor Subsidiary” contained in Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement is deleted and is replaced in its entirety with the following:
Guarantor Subsidiary” shall mean Cerner Properties, Inc., Cerner International, Inc., Cerner Multum, Inc., Cerner Health Connections, Inc., Cerner Healthcare Solutions, Inc., Cerner Innovation, Inc., The Health Exchange, Inc., and each existing and future Subsidiary of the Borrower which is or becomes a Guarantor Subsidiary pursuant to the terms of Section 6.9 other than the Foreign Subsidiaries, other than the Immaterial Subsidiaries and other than Cerner Chouteau Data Center, Inc.


2.    Modification to Section 6.1(j) -- Information. Section 6.1(j) of the Credit Agreement is deleted and is replaced in its entirety with the following:
(j) as soon as available and in any event within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Borrower, an unaudited balance sheet and income statement for the fiscal year setting forth the relevant financial information for each individual Subsidiary of Borrower





referenced in the definition of “Immaterial Subsidiary” set forth in Section 6.9(b) of this Agreement;

3.    Modification to Section 6.9(b)(3)(B) -- Threshold Amount. Section 6.9(b)(3)(B) of the Credit Agreement is deleted and is replaced in its entirety with the following:
(B)

Calculations shall be performed annually based on the information provided by Borrower in accordance with Section 6.1(j).


4.    Modification to Section 6.9(b) -- “Immaterial Subsidiary.” The definition of “Immaterial Subsidiary” set forth in the third to last paragraph of Section 6.9(b) is deleted and is replaced in its entirety with the following:

The parties acknowledge and agree that at no time shall any Subsidiary that is a Guarantor Subsidiary as of December 28, 2012 be deemed to be an “Immaterial Subsidiary” that is released from liability under the Guaranty, and that the Guarantor Subsidiaries as of December 28, 2012 are the following entities: (1) Cerner Properties, Inc. (2) Cerner International, Inc., (3) Cerner Multum, Inc., (4) Cerner Health Connections, Inc., (5) Cerner Healthcare Solutions, Inc., (6) Cerner Innovation, Inc., and (7) The Health Exchange, Inc.
