STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">On July&nbsp;2, 2007, DaVita Inc. (the &#147;Company&#148;) notified Gambro Renal Products Inc., a Colorado corporation (&#147;Gambro Renal
Products&#148;), that the Company was electing to be permanently relieved of its obligation under the Amended and Restated Alliance and Product Supply Agreement, dated as of August&nbsp;25, 2006 among the Company, Gambro Renal Products and Gambro
AB, a Swedish company and the parent of Gambro Renal Products (the &#147;Supply Agreement&#148;), to purchase Phoenix and Prismaflex system machines (the &#147;Affected Products&#148;), because the Affected Products remained subject to an FDA import
alert after June&nbsp;30, 2007. All other purchase obligations under the Supply Agreement remain the same. The Company entered into an original Alliance and Product Supply Agreement in conjunction with its acquisition of Gambro Healthcare, Inc. (now
DVA Renal Healthcare Inc.) from Gambro, Inc, a Colorado corporation, a subsidiary of Gambro AB and an affiliate of Gambro Renal Products. Gambro Renal Products and Gambro AB do not have any other material relationship with the Company or its
affiliates. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Under the Supply Agreement, as amended and restated as a consequence of the imposition of the import alert by the U.S. Food
and Drug Administration, the Company would have been obligated to purchase a significant majority of its requirements for the Affected Products from Gambro Renal Products at fixed prices set forth in the Supply Agreement once the import alert was
lifted. Other material terms of the Supply Agreement were described in the Company&#146;s Current Reports on Form 8-K filed on October&nbsp;11, 2005 and August&nbsp;30, 2006, which are incorporated herein by reference. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Company will not incur any material early termination penalties in connection with the termination of its obligation to purchase Affected Products.
The Company is evaluating the effect of this termination on its financial statements. We currently expect that the termination will have a material non-cash positive impact on the Company&#146;s operating results. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The foregoing description of the Supply Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Supply Agreement which was filed with the
Company&#146;s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September&nbsp;30, 2006 filed on November&nbsp;3, 2006. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The information

statements are based on information currently available to it, and the Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise these statements, whether as a result of changes in underlying factors, new information, future events or otherwise.
