Conditions of Forfeiture. Subject to the provisions of Section 4 hereof, the Units are subject to forfeiture by Participant at any time during the applicable Restriction Period immediately upon termination of Participant’s employment with the Company or a Subsidiary. Upon any such forfeiture, all rights of Participant with respect to the forfeited Units shall terminate and Participant shall have no further interest of any kind therein.

All Awards under this Plan shall be subject to forfeiture or other penalties pursuant to the Company’s Clawback Policy, as amended from time to time, and such forfeiture and/or penalty conditions or provisions as determined by the Committee and set forth in the applicable Award Agreement.

The options are subject to the compensation recovery provisions of the Plan. In addition, the options are subject to the Kimberly-Clark Corporation Compensation Recoupment Policy (such policy, as it may be amended from time to time, the “Recoupment Policy”) if the Participant is a Leader (as defined in the Recoupment Policy). Further, the options are subject to recoupment, as determined by the Corporation in its sole discretion, if following a Participant’s Retirement, the Corporation discovers that such Participant’s employment could have been terminated for Cause. A recovery under this section may be made by # cancelling any options which have not yet vested or been exercised; # recovering shares of Common Stock or cash equal to the value of the shares of Common Stock issued on exercise of the options; # recovering proceeds realized by the Participant on the sale of such Common Stock; # withholding compensation otherwise due to the Participant; # payment by the Participant; and/or # by such other means determined appropriate under the terms of the Recoupment Policy. If the Participant is required to repay the Corporation, the Corporation is entitled to offset the payment in a way that is intended to avoid the application of penalties under Section 409A of the Code, if applicable.

Vesting and Forfeiture. The Committee shall set forth in an Award Agreement granting Restricted Shares or Restricted Share Units, the terms and conditions under which the Participant’s interest in the Restricted Shares or the Shares subject to Restricted Share Units will become vested and non-forfeitable. Except as set forth in the applicable Award Agreement or the Committee otherwise determines, upon termination of a Participant’s Continuous Service for any other reason, the Participant shall forfeit his or her Restricted Shares and Restricted Share Units; provided that if a Participant purchases the Restricted Shares and forfeits them for any reason, the Company shall return the purchase price to the Participant only if and to the extent set forth in an Award Agreement.

Forfeiture of Award. Notwithstanding the Corporation's or an Affiliate's ability to pursue injunctive relief pursuant to Section 19(i), in the event of an actual breach by the Participant of any of the provisions of this Section 19 or of any stand-alone restrictive covenant agreement, the Corporation also is entitled to forfeit any portion of the Award that has not vested or been settled yet at the time the Corporation becomes aware of the breach.

The PRSUs are subject to the compensation recovery provisions of the Plan. In addition, the PRSUs are subject to the Kimberly-Clark Corporation Compensation Recoupment Policy (such policy, as it may be amended from time to time, the “Recoupment Policy”) if the Participant is a Leader (as defined in the Recoupment Policy). A recovery under this section may be made by # cancelling any PRSUs which have not yet vested or been settled; # recovering shares of Common Stock or cash equal to the value of the shares of Common Stock issued on settlement of the PRSUs, including shares resulting from dividend equivalents; # recovering proceeds realized by the Participant on the sale of such Common Stock; # withholding compensation otherwise due to the Participant; # payment by the Participant; and/or # by such other means determined appropriate under the terms of the Recoupment Policy. If the Participant is required to repay the Corporation, the Corporation is entitled to offset the payment in a way that is intended to avoid the application of penalties under Section 409A of the Code, if applicable.

Forfeiture of Options. Unless the Board otherwise determines, any portion of an Initial Option, Subsequent Option or Elective Option which is unvested or unexercisable at the time of a Non-Employee Director’s termination of service on the Board as a Non-Employee Director, or in the applicable position, shall be immediately forfeited upon such termination of service and shall not thereafter become vested and exercisable. All of a Non-Employee Director’s Initial Options and Subsequent Options shall vest in full immediately prior to the occurrence of a Change in Control (as defined in the Equity Plan), to the extent outstanding at such time.

Forfeiture and Clawback. The Employee agrees, by acceptance of the Award, that if the Employee breaches any provision of Sections 5(a), (b), (c), (d) or (e), in addition to any and all other remedies available to the Corporation, # the Award and all Restricted Units subject to the Award and any rights with respect to the Award and such Restricted Units shall upon written notice (which may be in electronic form) immediately be forfeited and terminate and be cancelled; and # the Corporation shall have the right upon written notice (which may be in electronic form) to reclaim and receive from the Employee all Shares and cash, as applicable, issued or paid to the Employee in respect of the Restricted Units pursuant to Sections 1(b) and 1(c) above, or to the extent the Employee has transferred such Shares, the Fair Market Value thereof (as of the date such Shares were transferred by the Employee) in cash and any such return of Shares or payment of cash by the Employee which requires action on the part of the Employee shall be made within five (5) business days following receipt of written demand therefore.

Repayment and Forfeiture. You specifically recognize and affirm that each of the Restrictive Covenants is a material and important term of this Agreement which has induced the Company to provide for the award of the RSUs granted hereunder. You further agree that in the event that the Company determines that you have breached or attempted or threatened to breach any of the Restrictive Covenants, in addition to any other remedies and monetary damages (which may not be ascertainable) at law or in equity the Company may have available to it, the Company may in its sole discretion: # cancel any unvested RSUs granted hereunder, including unvested RSUs that would otherwise have vested upon Retirement; and # require you to pay to the Company the Proceeds (as defined below) of any RSUs that vested during the Look Back Period (as defined below). You will pay to the Company the Proceeds in cash upon demand, and the Company will be entitled to set-off against any amount due to you from the Company or an Affiliate, including but not limited to any bonus payments, the amount of any such Proceeds, to the extent that such set-off is not inconsistent with Code Section 409A or other applicable law. For purposes of this Paragraph 4, the term “Proceeds” means the aggregate value of the Shares covered by the RSUs that have vested, determined based on the Fair Market Value of such Shares on the applicable vesting date. For avoidance of doubt, the amount of Proceeds shall be determined without regard to any taxes or amounts that may be deducted with respect to the vesting of the RSUs. The “Look Back Period” means the longer of the following two periods: # the 12-month period immediately preceding the date on which the Company becomes aware of a breach or attempted or threatened breach of any of the Restrictive Covenants; or # the six-month period immediately prior to the date of the termination of your employment with the Company or an Affiliate through the date on which the Company became aware of the breach or attempted or threatened breach, provided the date on which the Company becomes aware of the breach or attempted or threatened breach is no later than 12 months after the date of termination.
