On February 20, 2008, DaVita Inc. (the Company) filed a Current Report on Form 8-K reporting that on February 13, 2008, Richard

with Mr. Whitney pursuant to which Mr. Whitney agreed to serve as the Companys Chief Financial Officer on a part-time basis, effective March 1, 2008. Mr. Whitney will receive an annual base salary of $500,000 and is
eligible to receive a discretionary performance bonus up to $300,000 in an amount to be determined by the Companys Chief Executive Officer and/or the Board of Directors or the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. Mr. Whitney
received a grant of stock-settled stock appreciation rights on a base number of 200,000 shares of the Companys common stock (Common Stock), issued as follows: 70,000 shares of Common Stock on February 14, 2008; 50,000 shares

one-half year term from the date the shares of Common Stock are issued. The grant shall vest as follows: 116,667 shares of Common Stock shall vest on February 18, 2009, even if Mr. Whitney is no longer the Chief Financial Officer so long
as Mr. Whitney is still employed by the Company and is working 25 hours per week; thereafter, so long as Mr. Whitney is either the Chief Financial Officer or working at least 25 hours per week for the Company, the remainder of the shares
of Common Stock will vest each month, on a pro-rata basis, with the grant being fully vested on February 18, 2010.
Under the terms of
