Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

Effective April 30, 2005, LabOne, Inc. and its chief financial officer, John W. McCarty, entered into a Second Amendment to the parties' September 2, 2004 Transition Services Agreement. As previously disclosed on Form 8-K, the Transition Services Agreement was first amended on March 1, 2005. The Second Amendment provides that the effective date of Mr. McCarty's resignation is extended to midnight the later of (i) June 30, 2005, and (ii) the date on which Mr. McCarty's successor has assumed the responsibilities of chief financial officer of LabOne; provided, however, that LabOne in its discretion may elect to extend the effective date of Mr. McCarty's resignation for up to thirty additional days. With respect to Mr. McCarty's stock option for 20,000 shares that is scheduled to vest on May 27, 2006, the Second Amendment also provides that 10,000 of the shares subject to such stock option shall vest on the effective date of Mr. McCarty's resignation, although Mr. McCarty's right to exercise the stock option is limited until the anniversary of his resignation effective date.

The Second Amendment to Transition Services Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated by reference herein.
