In addition, Mr. Kenley will be entitled to benefits customarily provided by the Company to its employees, including health insurance and reimbursement of expenses. This description of the Offer of Employment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the Offer of Employment attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1, which is incorporated herein by reference.
Mr. Kenley has 33 years of experience in healthcare, most of which have been spent in the extracorporeal blood purification arena.
