Item 1.01 Entry Into A Material Definitive Agreement.

On May 28, 2010, the Board of Directors of Cerner Corporation (the “Company”) adopted and authorized, and Company management entered into, form Indemnification Agreements (the “Agreements”) with each of its directors and Section 16 Officers (the “Indemnitees”), providing the Indemnitees with indemnification rights in consideration of the Indemnitee’s acceptance of and/or continued service in his/her position as a director and/or an executive officer with the Company. The Agreements provide for Cerner to hold harmless and indemnify each Indemnitee, to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law and in accordance with the Company’s Bylaws, Articles of Incorporation and the Agreement.

These Agreements are substantially similar to the indemnification agreements entered into with the Company’s directors in prior years and this 2010 Form Indemnification Agreement has been updated to clarify: i) that the termination of any proceeding shall not automatically create a presumption that the Indemnitee to be indemnified did not act in good faith or that the Indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful and ii) the circumstances under which the Company may indemnify the Indemnitee, despite the Indemnitee having been found to be liable to the Company. These Agreements supersede all previous agreements of a similar nature.

The foregoing description of the Agreements do not purport to be a complete statement of the parties’ rights and obligations under the Agreements and the transactions contemplated thereby. The above description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Form Indemnification Agreement which is filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
