 Exhibit 10.31 
 DAVITA INC. POST-RETIREMENT DEFERRED COMPENSATION ARRANGEMENT 
  
  
 AMENDMENT #1 

 
  
 WHEREAS, Section 7.1 of the DaVita Inc. Post-Retirement Deferred Compensation Arrangement (the “Plan”) provides that the DaVita Inc. (the
“Company”) has the right to amend the Plan at any time; 
 WHEREAS, the Company desires to amend the Plan to comply with the final
regulations issued under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended; 
 WHEREAS, the Company desires to preserve the
grandfathered status of those Plan benefits that were earned and vested as of December 31, 2004, so that those grandfathered amounts will not be subject to Code Section 409A, but will remain subject to the terms of the Plan in effect prior
to this Amendment, and this Amendment is intended to not constitute a material modification of the Plan with respect to those grandfathered amounts; 
 NOW THEREFORE, the Company hereby amends the Plan as follows: 
 1. Effective January 1, 2009, Section 2.2 of
the Plan hereby is amended by the addition of the following sentence at the end of such Section: 
 With respect to amounts that are
subject to Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), for purposes of determining whether a Change of Control has occurred under this Section 2.2, “Company” shall mean DaVita Inc.

 2. Effective January 1, 2009, the first sentence of Section 3.2 of the Plan hereby is amended to read as follows: 
 In the event it is subsequently determined that a Participant does not constitute a Top-Hat Employee, contributions on behalf of such Participant shall
cease and his benefit shall be payable only as provided under this Plan, unless otherwise permitted under Code Section 409A. 
 3. Effective
January 1, 2009, Section 5.1 of the Plan hereby is amended to read in its entirety as follows: 
 5.1 Distributions
following Termination of Employment. Participants shall receive the vested portion of their benefits determined pursuant to the rules of Article III within 90 days after the Participant’s termination of employment, regardless of the reason
for termination of employment (e.g., death, disability, retirement, or otherwise), provided that, with respect to those benefits that are subject to Code Section 409A, such termination of employment constitutes a separation from service,
as defined below. 
  

 -1- 

 (a) A “separation from service” means a separation from service with the Company and all other
persons or entities with whom the Company would be considered a single employer under Code Section 414(b) or 414(c), within the meaning of Code Section 409A. 
 (b) With respect to any amount that becomes payable to a Participant upon the Participant’s separation from service, as defined above, for any reason, notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the
contrary, if the Company determines in good faith that the Participant is a “specified employee” under Code Section 409A then, to the extent required under Code Section 409A, any amount that otherwise would be payable to the
Participant during the six-month period following the Participant’s separation from service shall be suspended until the lapse of such six-month period (or, if earlier, the date of death of the Participant). The amount that otherwise would be
payable to the Participant during such period of suspension shall be paid in a single payment on the day following the end of such six-month period (or, if such day is not a business day, on the next succeeding business day) or within 30 days
following the death of the Participant during such six-month period, provided that the death of the Participant during such six-month period shall not cause the acceleration of any amount that otherwise would be payable on any date during such
six-month period following the date of the Participant’s death. Any amounts not subject to the suspension described in the preceding sentence shall be paid as otherwise provided in the Plan. 
 4. Effective January 1, 2009, Section 5.2 of the Plan hereby is amended by the addition of the following paragraph at the end of such Section: 

 With respect to the portion of any Account that is subject to Code Section 409A, any election under Section 5.2(a) or 5.2(b)
above with respect to that portion of the Participant’s Account that is attributable to Company contributions made for a calendar year shall be made prior to the calendar year during which the Participant’s services to the Company which
give rise to the contributions made for such calendar year were performed, and such withdrawal election will be irrevocable except with respect to subsequent payment elections which shall be permitted in compliance with Code Section 409A. Any
withdrawal election under Section 5.2(b) shall be made in compliance with Code Section 409A with respect to the portion of any Account that is subject to Code Section 409A. 
 5. Effective January 1, 2009, Section 7.1 of the Plan hereby is amended by the addition of the following sentence at the end of such Section: 

 Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, to the extent the Participant’s Account is subject to Code Section 409A, benefits will be
distributed upon the termination of the Plan only in compliance with Code Section 409A.

 DAVITA INC. DEFERRED BONUS PLAN 
  
  
 AMENDMENT #1 

 
  
 WHEREAS, Section 10.1 of the DaVita Inc. Deferred Bonus Plan (the “Plan”) provides that the DaVita Inc. (the “Plan Sponsor”) has
the right to amend the Plan at any time; 
 WHEREAS, the Plan is made up of an Adoption Agreement (the “Adoption Agreement”) and a

comply with the final regulations issued under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended; 
 NOW THEREFORE, the Plan
Sponsor hereby amends the Plan as follows: 
 1. Effective January 1, 2009, Section 9.8 of the Base Plan hereby is amended to read in its
entirety as follows: 
 9.8 Permissible Delays in Payment. Distributions may be delayed beyond the date payment would otherwise occur in
accordance with the provisions of Articles 8 and 9 in any of the following circumstances: 
 (a) The Employer may delay payment if it reasonably anticipates that its deduction with respect to such payment would not be permitted by the application of Section 162(m) of the Code; provided that the payment is made either
(i) during the first taxable year in which the Employer reasonably anticipates, or should reasonably anticipate, that if the payment is made during such year, the deduction of such payment will not be barred by application of
Section 162(m) of the Code or (ii) during the period beginning with the date of the Participant’s Separation from Service and ending on the later of the last day of the taxable year in which such Separation from Service occurred or
the 15th day of the third month following the Separation from Service, and provided further that where any scheduled payment to a Participant is
delayed in accordance with this sentence, the delay in payment will be treated as a subsequent deferral election unless all scheduled payments to that Participant that could be delayed in accordance with this sentence are also delayed. 

(b) The Employer may delay payment if it reasonably anticipates that the making of the payment will violate Federal Securities Laws or other
applicable law; provided that the payment is made at the earliest date at which the Employer reasonably anticipates that the making of the payment will not cause such violation. The making of a payment that would cause inclusion in gross income or
the application of any penalty provision or other provision of the Internal Revenue Code is not treated as a violation of applicable law.

a downturn in the financial health of the Plan Sponsor or the Employer; 
 (b) all arrangements sponsored by the Plan Sponsor and the
Employer that would be aggregated with the terminated and liquidated Plan under Section 409A of the Code if the same Participant had deferrals of compensation under such other arrangements also are terminated and liquidated; 
 (c) No payments in liquidation of the Plan or other aggregated arrangements (which would not include payments that would be payable under the terms of
the Plan and other arrangements if the termination and liquidation had not occurred) are made within 12 months of the date the Plan Sponsor terminates the Plan; 
 (d) All payments are made within 24 months of the date the Plan Sponsor takes all necessary action to irrevocably terminate and liquidate the Plan; and 
 (e) The Plan Sponsor and the Employer do not adopt a new plan that would be aggregated with the terminated and liquidated Plan or other terminated and
liquidated arrangement under Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-1(c) if the same Participant participated in both plans, at any time within three years following the date the Plan Sponsor takes all necessary action to irrevocably terminate and
liquidate the Plan.

 Notwithstanding the preceding, the benefit payable from a Participant’s Account may be reduced, at the discretion of the
