(d) Effects of the Merger. From and after the Effective Time, the --------------------- Merger will have the effects set forth in the Delaware Law and the Florida Law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, at the Effective Time all the property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of Merger Sub and DHT shall be vested in the Surviving Corporation, and all debts, liabilities and duties of Merger Sub and DHT shall become the debts, liabilities and duties of the Surviving Corporation. In addition, the Merger shall have the following effects: (i) Certificate of Incorporation. The Certificate of ---------------------------- Incorporation of Merger Sub as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the Certificate of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation; provided that Article First thereof shall be amended, effective as of the Effective Time, to provide that the name of the Surviving Corporation shall be changed to a name to be determined by Cerner. (ii) Bylaws. The Bylaws of Merger Sub as in effect immediately ------ prior to the Effective Time shall be the Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation. 2 (iii) Board of Directors.

The officers of Merger Sub at the Effective Time -------- shall be the initial officers of the Surviving Corporation, until the earlier of their resignation or removal or until their respective successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified, as the case may be. (e) Effect on Capital Stock. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the ----------------------- Merger and without any action on the part of the parties hereto or their respective stockholders: (i) Common Stock. With respect to each holder of record of ------------ Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and subject to Section 2.1(e)(v) relating to fractional shares (excluding shares to be canceled pursuant to Section 2.1(e)(iii) of this Agreement), the shares of Common Stock held by such holder shall cease to be outstanding and shall be converted into the right to receive that number of shares of Cerner Common Stock determined by multiplying the number of such shares of Common Stock times the Exchange Ratio (the "Merger Consideration"). (ii) Preferred Stock. With respect to each holder of record of --------------- Preferred Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, the shares of Preferred Stock held by such holder shall be redeemed at a price per share of Preferred Stock equal to $2.00 in cash, plus all unpaid accrued dividends to which holders of Preferred Stock are entitled to receive pursuant to the Articles of Incorporation of DHT (the "Preferred Stock Merger Consideration"). (iii) DHT Stock held by Cerner, Merger Sub and DHT. Each share -------------------------------------------- of Common Stock held by DHT as treasury stock or owned by Cerner, Merger Sub or any Cerner or DHT Subsidiaries immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be cancelled without payment of any consideration therefor and shall cease to exist. (iv) Merger Sub Common Stock. Each share of common stock of ----------------------- Merger Sub outstanding and each share held in treasury immediately prior to the Effective Time shall remain outstanding and be unaffected by the Merger. (v) Fractional Shares. Notwithstanding any other provision of ----------------- this Agreement, no fraction of a share of Cerner Common Stock shall be issued in connection with the conversion of Common Stock in the Merger and the distribution of Cerner Common Stock in respect thereof. Each holder of shares of Common Stock exchanged pursuant to the Merger who otherwise would have been entitled to receive a fraction of a share of Cerner Common Stock (after taking into account all certificates delivered by such holder) shall receive, in lieu thereof a cash payment (without interest and subject to the payment of any 3 applicable withholding Taxes) in an amount equal to such fractional part of a share of Cerner Common Stock multiplied by the Average Cerner Stock Price. (f) Stock Options and Other Stock Compensation. ------------------------------------------ (i) At the Effective Time, each award, option, warrant or other right to purchase or acquire Common Stock pursuant to any warrants, stock awards, stock options or stock appreciation rights granted under any DHT Employee Plans (as defined in Section 4.13(a) herein) (other than DHT's 401(k) Plan, which will receive the consideration set forth in Section 2.1(e)(i) of this Agreement) or otherwise as listed on Section 2.1(f) of the DHT Disclosure Schedule (collectively, the "Stock Rights") prior to the Effective Time and which remains outstanding immediately after the Effective Time, whether or not vested or exercisable, without any action on the part of the holder thereof, shall cease to represent a right with respect to shares of Common Stock and shall be converted into and become rights with respect to Cerner Common Stock, and Cerner shall assume each Stock Right on the same terms and conditions as were applicable under such Stock Right (but taking into account any changes thereto (except that there shall be no acceleration in the vesting or exercisability of such option, right or incentive compensation by reason of this Agreement, the Merger or the other matters contemplated by this Agreement other than existing agreements which by their terms provide for acceleration, which agreements are set forth in Section 2.1(f) of the DHT Disclosure Schedule indicating the optionees thereof), provided for in the DHT Employee Plans or in the terms of such right by reason of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby), with respect to that number of shares of Cerner Common Stock determined by multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock subject to such Stock Right, times the Exchange Ratio, rounded, if necessary, to the nearest whole share of Cerner Common Stock, at (in the case of a stock option or stock appreciation right) a price per share (rounded to the nearest one-hundredth of a cent) determined by dividing the per-share exercise price specified in such stock option or stock appreciation right, as applicable, by the Exchange Ratio. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.1(f), each Stock Right which is an "incentive stock option" under Section 422 of the Code shall be adjusted as required by Section 424 of the Code, and the regulations promulgated thereunder, so as not to constitute a modification, extension, or renewal of the option, within the meaning of Section 424(h) of the Internal Revenue Code. Cerner agrees to take all necessary steps to effectuate the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.1(f)(i). (ii) As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, Cerner shall deliver to the holders of Stock Rights appropriate notices setting forth such holders' rights pursuant thereto and the grants pursuant to the DHT Employee Plans shall continue in effect on the same terms and conditions (subject to the adjustments required by Section 2.1(f)(i) of this Agreement) after giving effect to the Merger, and Cerner shall comply with the terms of the Stock Rights and the DHT Employee Plans to ensure, to the extent required by, and subject to the 4 provisions of, such DHT Employee Plan, that the Stock Rights which qualified as incentive stock options prior to the Effective Time continue to qualify as incentive stock options after the Effective Time. (iii) At or prior to the Effective Time, Cerner shall take all corporate action necessary to reserve for issuance a sufficient number of shares of Cerner Common Stock for delivery upon exercise of Stock Rights in accordance with this Section 2.1(f). Promptly after the Effective Time, Cerner shall file a registration statement(s) on Form S-8 with respect to the shares of Cerner Common Stock subject to such stock options or other stock related rights or other forms of stock related incentive or deferred compensation, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement or registration statements (and maintain the current status of the prospectus or prospectuses contained therein) for so long as such stock options or other stock related rights or other forms of stock related incentive or deferred compensation remain outstanding. With respect to those individuals who subsequent to the Merger will be subject to the reporting requirements under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, where applicable, Cerner shall administer the DHT Employee Plans in a manner consistent with the exemptions provided by Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act. (iv) Prior to the Effective Time, DHT will make any amendments to the terms of the DHT Employee Plans that are necessary to give effect to the transactions contemplated by this Section 2.1(f). (g) Certain Adjustments. If, between the date of this Agreement and ------------------- the Effective Time, the number of issued and outstanding shares of Cerner Common Stock shall have been changed into a different number of shares or different class by reason of any reclassification, recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, combination or exchange of shares, or a stock dividend or dividend payable in any other securities shall be declared with a record date (in the case of a stock dividend) or an effective date (in the case of a stock split or combination or similar recapitalization for which a record date is not set) within such period, or any similar event shall have occurred, the Merger Consideration and Exchange Ratio shall each be proportionately adjusted to prevent any dilutive effect to the stockholders of DHT which would otherwise result from any such transaction on a percentage of ownership basis. Section 2.2. Surrender of Certificates. ------------------------- (a) Cerner and Merger Sub hereby appoint the Exchange Agent to act as the exchange agent in connection with the Merger. Except as otherwise provided in this Article II, from and after the Effective Time, (i) each holder of a certificate that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding shares of Common Stock (collectively, the "Common Certificates") shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor, upon surrender thereof to the Exchange Agent, a certificate or certificates representing the number of whole shares of Cerner Common Stock into which such holder's shares were converted in the Merger pursuant to Section 2.1(e)(i) of this 5 Agreement, and (ii) each holder of a certificate that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding shares of Preferred Stock (collectively, the "Preferred Certificates") shall be entitled to receive cash in an amount equal to the cash consideration to which such holder is entitled to receive pursuant to Section 2.1(e)(ii) of this Agreement. Prior to the Effective Time, Cerner will deliver or cause to be delivered to the Exchange Agent, in trust for the benefit of the holders of Common Stock and Preferred Stock, certificates representing Cerner Common Stock and cash in such amounts necessary to provide all the Merger Consideration and Preferred Stock Merger Consideration required to be exchanged by Cerner pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (such Merger Consideration, together with any dividends or other distributions with respect thereto, referred to herein as the "Exchange Fund"). (b) Promptly after the Effective Time, the Exchange Agent shall mail to each record holder of Common Stock as of the Effective Time, a letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to Common Certificates shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Common Certificates to the Exchange Agent) and instructions for use in effecting the surrender of Common Certificates in exchange for the Merger Consideration. Upon surrender to the Exchange Agent of a Common Certificate evidencing Common Stock, together with such letter of transmittal duly executed, and any other required documents, the holder of such Common Certificate (other than those shares to be canceled pursuant to Section 2.1(e)(iii) of this Agreement) shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor, certificates representing shares of Cerner Common Stock as set forth in this Article II, and such Common Certificate shall forthwith be canceled. No holder of a Common Certificate or Common Certificates shall be entitled to receive any dividend or other distribution from Cerner until the surrender of such holder's Common Certificate for a certificate or certificates representing shares of Cerner Common Stock. Upon such surrender, there shall be paid to the holder the amount of any dividends or other distributions (without interest) that theretofore became payable with record dates after the Effective Time, but that were not paid by reason of the foregoing, with respect to the number of whole shares of Cerner Common Stock represented by the certificates issued upon surrender, which amount shall be delivered to the Exchange Agent by Cerner from time to time as such dividends or other distributions are declared. If delivery of certificates representing shares of Cerner Common Stock is to be made to a person other than the person in whose name the Common Certificate surrendered is registered or if any certificate for shares of Cerner Common Stock as the case may be, is to be issued in a name other than that in which the Common Certificate surrendered therefor is registered, it shall be a condition of such delivery or issuance that the Common Certificate so surrendered shall be properly endorsed or otherwise in proper form for transfer and that the person requesting such delivery or issuance shall pay any transfer or other Taxes required by reason of such delivery or issuance to a person other than the registered holder of the Common Certificate surrendered or establish to the satisfaction of Cerner that such Tax has been paid or is not applicable. Until surrendered in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.3, each Common Certificate shall represent for all purposes only the right to receive shares of Cerner Common Stock (and cash in lieu of fractional shares) and the 6 cash portion of the Merger Consideration as provided in this Article II without any interest thereon. (c) Promptly after the Effective Time, the Exchange Agent shall mail to each record holder of Preferred Stock as of the Effective Time, a letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to Preferred Certificates shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Preferred Certificates to the Exchange Agent) and instructions for use in effecting the surrender of Preferred Certificates in exchange for Preferred Stock Merger Consideration. Upon surrender to the Exchange Agent of a Preferred Certificate evidencing Preferred Stock, together with such letter of transmittal duly executed, and any other required documents, the holder of such Preferred Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor, the cash portion of the Preferred Stock Merger Consideration, and such Preferred Certificate shall forthwith be canceled. (d) At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of DHT shall be closed as to holders of the Common Stock or the Preferred Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time and no transfers of the Common Stock or the Preferred Stock by any such holder shall thereafter be made or recognized. If, after the Effective Time, (i) Common Certificates are presented to the Surviving Corporation for transfer, they shall be canceled and exchanged for shares of Cerner Common Stock (and cash in lieu of fractional shares) as provided in this Article II, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.3, and (ii) Preferred Certificates are presented to the Surviving Corporation for transfer, they shall be canceled and exchanged for cash as provided in this Article II, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.3. (e) Any portion of the Exchange Fund made available to the Exchange Agent which remains undistributed to the former shareholders of DHT for one year after the Effective Time shall be delivered to the Surviving Corporation, upon demand, and any shareholders of DHT who have not theretofore complied with this Article II shall thereafter look only to the Surviving Corporation for payment of their claim for Merger Consideration and any dividends or distributions with respect to Cerner Common Stock. (f) None of DHT, Cerner, or the Surviving Corporation shall be liable to any holder of shares of Common Stock for the Merger Consideration (or dividends or distributions with respect thereto) or to any holder of shares of Preferred Stock for the Preferred Merger Consideration, delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law. Section 2.3. Affiliates. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, ---------- to the full extent permitted by law, no certificates representing shares of Cerner Common Stock shall be delivered to a Person who may be deemed an "affiliate" of DHT in accordance with Section 7.7 hereof, until such Person has executed and delivered an Affiliate Agreement pursuant to Section 7.7. 7 ARTICLE III REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF CERNER Except as disclosed in the Cerner Disclosure Schedule delivered to DHT separately prior to, or contemporaneously with, the date hereof (each section or subsection of which qualifies the correspondingly numbered representation, warranty or covenant to the extent specified therein), Cerner represents and warrants to DHT that: Section 3.1.

Such plans are referred to collectively herein as the "DHT Employee Plans." For purposes of this Section 4.13, "ERISA Affiliate" of any Person means any other Person which, together with such Person, would be treated as a single employer under Section 414 of the Code. (b) No DHT Employee Plan is now or at any time has been subject to Part 3, Subtitle B of Title I of ERISA or Title IV of ERISA. At no time has DHT or any of its ERISA Affiliates contributed to, or been required to contribute to, any "multiemployer plan," as defined in Section 3(37) of ERISA (a "Multiemployer Plan"), or any other plan subject to Title IV of ERISA (a "Retirement Plan"), and neither DHT nor any of its ERISA Affiliates has, or ever has had, any liability (contingent or otherwise) relating to the withdrawal or partial withdrawal from a Multiemployer Plan. To the Knowledge of DHT, no condition exists and no event has occurred that would be reasonably likely to constitute grounds for termination of any DHT Employee Plan that is a Retirement Plan or, with respect to any DHT Employee Plan that is a Multiemployer Plan, presents a material risk of a complete or partial withdrawal under Title IV of ERISA and neither DHT nor any of its ERISA Affiliates has incurred any liability under Title IV of ERISA arising in connection with the termination of, or complete or partial withdrawal from, any plan covered or previously covered by Title IV of ERISA that would be reasonably likely to have a DHT Material Adverse Effect.

Each such plan has received a determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service to the effect that such plan is qualified and its related trust is exempt from federal income taxes. DHT has furnished, or will make available upon request, to Cerner copies of the most recent Internal Revenue Service determination letters with respect to each such DHT Employee Plan. Each DHT Employee Plan has been maintained and administered in substantial compliance with its terms (except that in any case in which any DHT Employee Plan is currently required to comply with a provision of ERISA or of the Code, but is not yet to be amended to reflect such provision, such plan has been maintained and administered in accordance with the provision) and with the requirements prescribed by any and all statutes, orders, rules and regulations, including but not limited to ERISA and the Code, which are applicable to such DHT Employee Plan. All material reports, returns and similar documents with respect to each DHT Employee Plan required to be filed with any governmental agency or distributed to any DHT Employee Plan participant have been duly timely filed and distributed. (d) There is no contract, agreement, plan or arrangement that, as a result of the Merger, would be reasonably likely to obligate DHT to make any payment of any amount that would not be deductible pursuant to the terms of Section 162(m) or Section 280G of the Code. (e) Except as disclosed in writing to Cerner prior to the date hereof, there has been no amendment to, written interpretation or announcement (whether or not written) relating to, or change in employee participation or coverage under, any DHT Employee Plan that would increase materially the expense of maintaining such DHT Employee Plan above the level of the expense incurred in respect thereof for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2000.

(b) DHT has all permits, licenses, approvals, authorizations of and registrations with and under all federal, state, local and foreign laws, and from all Governmental Entities required by DHT to carry on its business as currently conducted, 18 except where the failure to have any such permits, licenses, approvals, authorizations or registrations, individually or in the aggregate, would not be reasonably likely to have a DHT Material Adverse Effect.

(c) All former and current employees of DHT have executed written contracts with DHT that assign to DHT all rights to any inventions, improvements, discoveries, or information relating to the business of DHT. To DHT's Knowledge, no employee of DHT has entered into any contract that restricts or limits in any way the scope or type of work in which the employee may be engaged or requires the employee to transfer, assign, or disclose information concerning his work to anyone other than DHT. (d) All of the Patents are currently in compliance with formal legal requirements (including payment of filing, examination, and maintenance fees and proofs of working or use), are valid and enforceable, and are not subject to any maintenance fees or taxes or actions except where the failure to have such ownership or license is not reasonably likely to have a DHT Material Adverse Effect. 19 (e) DHT uses reasonable procedures to keep its Trade Secrets confidential, and DHT's Trade Secrets have been disclosed only under written agreements that require the recipient to hold such Trade Secrets confidential. (f) No Patent has been or is now involved in any interference, reissue, reexamination, or opposition proceeding.

(b) Neither the Board of Directors of DHT nor any committee thereof shall (i) withdraw, or propose publicly to withdraw, in a manner adverse to Cerner, the approval or recommendation by such Board of Directors or such committee of the Merger or this Agreement, (ii) subject to Section 6.2(d), modify, or propose publicly to modify, in a manner adverse to Cerner, the approval or recommendation by such Board of Directors or such committee of the Merger or this Agreement, (iii) approve or recommend, or propose publicly to approve or recommend, any Acquisition Proposal for DHT or (iv) approve or recommend, or propose to approve or recommend, or execute or enter into, any letter of intent, agreement in principle, merger agreement, acquisition agreement, option agreement or other similar agreement or propose publicly or agree to do any of the 26 foregoing related to any Acquisition Proposal for DHT. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any time prior to receipt of DHT Shareholder Approval the Board of Directors of DHT determines in good faith, after receipt of written opinions from outside counsel and independent financial advisor of DHT, that it has received an Acquisition Proposal for DHT that constitutes a Superior Proposal which did not result from a breach of this Section 6.2 and that failure to do one of the following could reasonably be expected to be a breach of its fiduciary duties to DHT's shareholders under applicable Florida Law, the Board of Directors of DHT may (subject to this and the following sentences) (x) withdraw or modify its approval or recommendation of the Merger and this Agreement, (y) approve or recommend the Superior Proposal (as defined below), or (z) terminate this Agreement and concurrently with or after such termination, if it so chooses, cause DHT to enter into any Acquisition Agreement with respect to the Superior Proposal, but in each of the cases set forth in clause (x), (y) or (z), only at a time prior to receipt of the DHT Shareholder Approval and only at a time that is after the tenth business day following Cerner's receipt of written notice advising Cerner that the Board of Directors of DHT has received a Superior Proposal, specifying the material terms and conditions of such Superior Proposal and identifying the person making such Superior Proposal; provided, that in each of the cases set forth in clause (x), (y) or (z), DHT shall pay to Cerner the fee provided for in Section 9.3(a) of this Agreement prior to the Board of Directors of DHT taking any of the actions described in such clauses; provided, however, that if the Board of Directors of DHT determines in good faith that DHT's financial inability to pay the fee provided for in Section 9.3(a) of this Agreement prior to the Board of Directors of DHT taking any of the actions described in such clauses could reasonably be expected to result in a breach of its fiduciary duties to DHT's shareholders under applicable Florida Law, then DHT shall not be required to pay Cerner the fee provided for in Section 9.3(a) prior to taking the actions described in such clauses, but shall deliver to Cerner prior to taking such actions a promissory note, in a form reasonably acceptable to Cerner, in the original principal amount of Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00), payable on the earlier of (1) six (6) months after the date of the promissory note, or (2) the date upon which the transactions contemplated by a Superior Proposal are consummated. Any such withdrawal or modification of the recommendation of the Merger and this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall not change the approval of the Board of Directors of DHT for purposes of causing Section ###-###-#### of the Florida Law to be inapplicable to the Merger and this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. For all purposes of this Agreement, a "Superior Proposal" means any bona fide proposal made by a third party to acquire, directly or indirectly, for consideration consisting of cash and/or securities, 100% of the DHT Securities then outstanding (whether pursuant to a tender or exchange offer, merger, consolidation, share exchange, or other business combination) or all or substantially all the assets of DHT and otherwise on terms which the Board of Directors of DHT determines in its good faith judgment (based on a written opinion of DHT's financial advisor) to be materially more favorable to DHT and its shareholders than the Merger (taking into account any changes to the financial and other contractual terms of this Agreement proposed by Cerner in response to such proposal, the Person making the proposal, any legal or regulatory considerations and all other relevant financial and strategic considerations, including the timing of the consummation of such transactions) 27 and for which financing, to the extent required, is then committed or which, in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of DHT, is reasonably capable of being obtained by such third party. (c) In addition to the obligations of DHT set forth in Section 6.2(a) of this Agreement, DHT shall immediately advise Cerner orally and in writing of any request for information or of any Acquisition Proposal for DHT, the material terms and conditions of such request or Acquisition Proposal for DHT and the identity of the person making such request or Acquisition Proposal for DHT. DHT will keep Cerner fully informed of the status and details (including amendments or proposed amendments) of any such request or Acquisition Proposal for DHT. (d) Nothing contained in this Section 6.2, and subject to the payment of a termination fee if and to the extent required by Section 9.3(a), shall prohibit DHT from taking and disclosing to its shareholders a position contemplated by Rule 14d-9 and 14e-2(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act or from making any disclosure to DHT's shareholders if, in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of DHT, after consultation with outside counsel, failure so to disclose would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties to DHT's shareholders under applicable Law; provided, however, neither DHT nor its Board of Directors nor any committee thereof shall, except as permitted by Section 6.2(b), withdraw or modify, or propose publicly to withdraw or modify, its position with respect to the Merger or this Agreement or approve or recommend, or propose publicly to approve or recommend, an Acquisition Proposal for DHT. Section 6.3. Employment Agreements. DHT agrees to use its reasonable --------------------- best efforts to cause each of the employees of DHT identified in Exhibit F hereto to execute and deliver to Cerner employment agreements in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G. DHT agrees that it will not terminate the employment of T. Christopher Assif, John Fingado and Charles R. Johnson, or any of the employees of DHT identified on Exhibit F hereto, without the prior written consent of Cerner, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. Section 6.4. 401(k) Plans. DHT shall, prior to the Closing Date, adopt ------------ any and all resolutions that are necessary or appropriate to (i) fund all the DHT 401(k) plans, as referenced in Schedule 4.13 (the "401(k) Plans"), with any profit sharing and/or matching contributions that have accrued as of the Closing Date or that otherwise customarily would have been made by DHT prior to the 401(k) Plans' year ends; (ii) require that all 401(k) Plans' participant elective deferrals have ceased one pay period prior to Closing such and that all elective deferrals to be remitted to the 401(k) Plans have been made prior to the Closing Date; (iii) except as set forth immediately above in (i) and (ii) of this paragraph, cease all other contributions to the 401(k) Plans as of the day before the Closing Date; (iv) terminate the 401(k) Plans; (v) fully vest all participant account balances in the 401(k) Plans immediately before the Closing Date; (vi) use all reasonable efforts to complete the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") Form 5310 Application for Determination with respect to the termination of the 401(k) Plans prior to Closing; and (vii) provide for distribution of the assets of the 401(k) Plans following receipt of a favorable determination letter from the IRS with respect to the termination and distribution of the assets of the 401(k) Plans. 28 Section 6.5. Incentive Stock Options. The parties agree to work together ----------------------- in good faith to determine the appropriate treatment of the incentive stock options previously granted to certain DHT employees and DHT agrees to take agreed upon reasonable actions related to such stock options prior to the Closing Date, including informing the DHT employees of agreed upon employee communication related thereto.

(d) Any Indemnified Party wishing to claim indemnification under Sections 7.10(b) or (c) upon learning of any such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, shall promptly notify Cerner thereof in writing, but the failure to so notify shall not relieve Cerner of any liability it may have to such Indemnified Party if such failure does not materially prejudice Cerner. In the event of any such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation (whether arising before or after the Effective Time), (i) Cerner or Merger Sub shall have the right to assume the defense thereof, and Cerner shall not be liable to such Indemnified Parties for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Parties in connection with the defense thereof, except that if Cerner or Merger Sub elects not to assume such defense, or if there are any issues which raise material conflicts of interest between Cerner or Merger Sub and the Indemnified Parties, the Indemnified Parties may retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to Cerner, and Cerner or Merger Sub shall pay all reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel for the Indemnified Parties; provided, however, that Cerner shall be obligated pursuant to this paragraph (c) to pay for only one firm or counsel for all Indemnified Parties and, as applicable, for local counsel, and provided, however, the costs of more than one firm or counsel shall be paid if the Indemnified Parties cannot be represented by one firm or counsel because of a conflict of interest, (ii) the Indemnified Parties will cooperate in the defense of any such matter, and (iii) Cerner shall not be liable for any settlement effected without its prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(g) The provisions of this Section 7.10 are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each of the Indemnified Parties, their heirs and representatives. (h) Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Cerner nor Merger Sub shall have any obligation to indemnify or exculpate any officer or director or DHT from liability to Cerner, Merger Sub or Cerner's stockholders for any acts related to or arising out of the Merger, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby if and to the extent such person's conduct was finally adjudged to have been knowingly fraudulent, deliberately dishonest or willful misconduct.

As of their respective dates, such reports filed with the SEC will comply in all material respects with the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

The Merger will be consummated in compliance with the terms of the Agreement and will be a statutory merger in accordance with the applicable laws of the state of Delaware and the state of Florida. 3. None of the terms and conditions of the Agreement have been waived or modified, and Cerner and Merger Sub have no plan or intention to waive or modify any such term or condition. 4. A valid business purpose exists for the Merger on the part of Cerner. 5. The consideration to be received in the Merger by the shareholders of DHT was determined by arm's-length negotiations between the management of DHT and the management of Cerner. In connection with the Merger, no shareholder of DHT will receive in exchange for the DHT common stock, par value $0.01 per share ("DHT Common Stock"), directly or indirectly, any consideration other than Cerner common stock, par value $0.01 per share ("Cerner Common Stock"), and cash in lieu of fractional shares. 6. Neither Cerner nor a person related to Cerner within the meaning of Treasury Regulation (S) 1.368-1(e)(3) has acquired or has any plan or intention to acquire any DHT Common Stock prior to and in connection with the Merger. 7. To the knowledge of Cerner, Merger Sub will acquire at least 90 percent of the fair market value of the net assets and at least 70 percent of the fair market value of the gross assets held by DHT immediately prior to the Merger. For purposes of this representation, amounts paid by DHT to shareholders who receive cash or other property, DHT assets used to pay its reorganization expenses and all redemptions and distributions (except for regular, normal dividends) made by DHT immediately preceding the transfer, will be included as assets of DHT held immediately prior to the Merger. 8. Prior to the Merger, Cerner will be in control of Merger Sub within the meaning of Section 368(c) of the Internal Revenue Code. 9. Following the Merger, Merger Sub will not issue additional shares of its stock that would result in Cerner losing control of Merger Sub within the meaning of Section 368(c) of the Internal Revenue Code. 10. Cerner has no plan or intention to reacquire any of its Common Stock issued in the Merger. 11. A person related to Cerner within the meaning of Treasury Regulation (S) 1.368-1(e)(3) has no plan or intention to acquire any Cerner Common Stock issued in the Merger. 12.

Following the Merger, Merger Sub will continue the historic business of DHT or use a significant portion of DHT's historic business assets in a business. 14. Cerner, Merger Sub, DHT and the shareholders of DHT will pay their respective expenses, if any, incurred in connection with the Merger. 15.

No stock of Merger Sub will be issued in the transaction. 2 19. None of the compensation received by any shareholder-employees of DHT will be separate consideration for, or allocable to, any of their shares of the DHT Common Stock surrendered in the exchange, and the compensation paid to such shareholder-employees will be for services actually rendered and will be commensurate with amounts paid to third parties bargaining at arms-length for similar services. None of the Cerner Common Stock received in the Merger by any shareholder- employees of DHT will be separate consideration for, or allocable to, any compensation owed to such employee. 20. To the knowledge of Cerner, the payment of cash in lieu of fractional shares of Cerner Common Stock is solely for the purpose of avoiding the expense and inconvenience to Cerner of issuing fractional shares and does not represent separately bargained-for consideration. To the knowledge of Cerner, the total cash consideration that will be paid in the Merger to the shareholders of DHT instead of issuing fractional shares of Cerner Common Stock will not exceed one percent of the total consideration that will be issued in the Merger to the shareholders of DHT in exchange for their shares of DHT Common Stock. The fractional share interests of each shareholder of DHT will be aggregated, and no shareholder of DHT will receive cash for fractional shares in an amount equal to or greater than the value of one full share of Cerner Common Stock. 21.

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of September ___, 2001, as it may be amended from time to time (the "Merger Agreement"), among the Company, Cerner Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("Cerner"), and Cerner Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Merger Sub"), the Company will be merged with and into Merger Sub (the "Merger"). As a result of the Merger, the shares of Common Stock of the Company ("Common Stock") which I own would be converted into shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Cerner ("Cerner Common Stock"). I represent, warrant and covenant to Cerner and Merger Sub that in the event I receive any Cerner Common Stock as a result of the Merger: A. I will not make any sale, transfer or other disposition of the Cerner Common Stock in violation of the Act or the Rules and Regulations. B. I have carefully read this letter and the Merger Agreement and discussed the requirements of such documents and other applicable limitations upon my ability to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of Cerner Common Stock, to the extent I felt necessary, with my counsel or counsel for the Company. C. I have been advised that the issuance of Cerner Common Stock to me pursuant to the Merger has been or will be registered with the Commission under the Act on a Registration Statement on Form S-4. However, I have also been advised that, because I may be deemed to have been an Affiliate of the Company at the time the Merger was submitted for a vote of the shareholders of the Company, I may not sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of the Cerner Common Stock issued to me in the Merger unless (i) such sale, transfer or other disposition has been registered under the Act, (ii) such sale, transfer or other disposition is made in conformity with the volume and other limitations of Rule 145 promulgated by the Commission under the Act, or (iii) in the opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to Cerner, such sale, transfer or other disposition is otherwise exempt from registration under the Act. D. I understand that Cerner is under no obligation to register the sale, transfer or other disposition of the Cerner Common Stock held by me or on my behalf under the Act or to take any other action necessary in order to make compliance with an exemption from such registration available. E. I also understand that stop transfer instructions will be given to Cerner's transfer agents with respect to the Cerner Common Stock and that there will be placed on the certificates for the Cerner Common Stock issued to me, or any substitutions therefor, a legend stating in substance: "THE SHARES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE WERE ISSUED IN A TRANSACTION TO WHICH RULE 145 PROMULGATED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 APPLIES. THE SHARES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE MAY ONLY BE TRANSFERRED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF AN AGREEMENT DATED ___________________, 200_ BETWEEN THE REGISTERED HOLDER HEREOF AND CERNER CORPORATION, A COPY OF WHICH AGREEMENT IS ON FILE AT THE PRINCIPAL OFFICES OF CERNER CORPORATION." F. I also understand that unless the transfer by me of my Cerner Common Stock has been registered under the Act or is a sale made in conformity with the provisions of Rule 145, Cerner reserves the right to place the same legend set forth in paragraph E. above on the certificates issued to my transferee. The undersigned understands and agrees that the legends set forth in paragraphs E and F above shall be removed by delivery of substitute certificates without such legend if the undersigned shall have delivered to Cerner a copy of a letter from the staff of the Commission, or an opinion of counsel in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Cerner, to the effect that such legend is not required for purposes of the Act. G. The shares of Common Stock which I Beneficially Own are free and clear of all Encumbrances (as defined below; other than any Encumbrance created by this Agreement). The term "Encumbrance" means any pledge, security interest, lien, claim, encumbrance, mortgage, charge, hypothecation, option, right of first refusal or offer, community property right, other marital right, preemptive right, voting agreement, voting trust, proxy, power of attorney, escrow, option, forfeiture, penalty, action at law or in equity, security agreement, stockholder agreement or other agreement, arrangement, contract, commitment, understanding or obligation, or any other restriction, qualification or limitation on the use, transfer, right to vote, right to dissent, and seek appraisal, receipt of income or other exercise of any attribute of ownership. Execution of this letter should not be considered an admission on my part that I am an "Affiliate" of the Company as described in the first paragraph of this letter, or as a waiver of any rights I may have to object to any claim that I am such an Affiliate on or after the date of this letter. By Cerner's acceptance of this letter, Cerner and Merger Sub hereby agree with me that for so long as and to the extent necessary to permit me to sell the Cerner Common Stock pursuant to Rule 145 and, to the extent applicable, Rule 144 under the Act, Cerner shall (A) use its reasonable efforts to (1) file, on a timely basis, all reports and data required to be filed with the Commission by it pursuant to Section 13 of the Exchange Act, and (2) furnish to me upon reasonable request a written statement as to whether Cerner has complied with such reporting -2- requirements during the twelve (12) months preceding any proposed sale of the Cerner Common Stock by me under Rule 145, and (B) otherwise use its reasonable efforts to permit such sales pursuant to Rule 145 and Rule 144. Cerner hereby represents to me that it has filed all reports required to be filed with the Commission under Section 13 of the Exchange Act during the preceding twelve (12) months.

("DHT"). 1. CERNER'S LETTER OFFERING EMPLOYMENT TO YOU. ------------------------------------------ You formerly were an employee of DHT, which Cerner has acquired pursuant to the Merger Agreement.

The offer letter is incorporated into this Agreement as Attachment I. The position, terms, compensation, benefits and other provisions of that offer letter represent the initial conditions of your Cerner employment. The offer letter is incorporated into this Agreement as Attachment I. Any amendments or changes to the offer letter are included as part of Attachment II to this Agreement, and supersede the terms in the offer letter. 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 ten (10) 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 ten (10) business days notice, or if you actually leave Cerner's employ prior to expiration of the ten business days notice period and without the permission of Cerner, then you agree that (to the extent permitted by law) no vacation pay, 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 two 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 policies or this Agreement), Cerner will pay you in conjunction with such termination the equivalent of up to two weeks base salary (exclusive of commissions, advances against commissions, bonus and other non-salary compensation and Associate benefits). This provision also applies if you give proper notice as outlined above and Cerner elects to accelerate your effective termination date to a date less than two weeks from the date of your notice.

Cerner may pay or reimburse you for certain reasonable costs associated with any relocation required by Cerner in conjunction with a position with Cerner pursuant to the terms of Cerner's published relocation policy, as may be amended from time to time. In the event that Cerner pays or reimburses you for any relocation costs, you agree to repay such sums to Cerner in accordance with the terms of the relocation policy in effect at the time of your move if (i) you voluntarily resign from employment with Cerner for any reason within two (2) years of the date your relocation is complete or (ii) Cerner terminates your employment due to your dishonesty, illegal conduct, or breach of Cerner's policies or this Agreement within two (2) years of the date your relocation is complete.

Cerner may pay or reimburse you for certain reasonable costs associated with Other Assistance Programs in which Cerner provides assistance, pursuant to the terms of such Other Assistance Programs' policies, as may be amended from time to time. In the event that Cerner pays or reimburses you for any costs associated with such Other Assistance Programs, you agree to repay such sums to Cerner in accordance with the terms of the applicable Other Assistance Programs policy in effect at the time of you participation in such Other Assistance Program if (i) you voluntarily resign from employment with Cerner for any reason within two (2) years of the date of your participation in the application Program is complete, or (ii) Cerner terminates your employment due to your dishonesty, illegal conduct, or breach of Cerner's policies or this Agreement within two (2) years of the date you participation in the applicable program is complete.

You will also, within ten days after the end of each calendar month, give Cerner a detailed written account of your efforts to obtain employment.
