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.

Forfeiture; Immediate Vesting. If Employee’s employment is terminated by Employee at any time other than for “Reasonable Basis” (as that term is hereinafter defined) or by the Company for Cause (as that term is hereinafter defined), then Employee will forfeit, without compensation, any and all Options that are not exercisable as of the date of termination of Employee’s employment. In the event Employee’s employment is terminated by Employee for “Reasonable Basis” or in the event the Company terminates Employee’s employment without his consent for a reason other than Cause, then all of the Options shall become exercisable immediately.

No person shall be entitled to receive payments under this Plan and any payments received under this Plan shall be forfeited and returned if it is determined by the Corporation in its sole discretion, acting through its chief executive or such person or committee as the chief executive may designate, that a person otherwise entitled to a payment under this Plan or who has commenced receiving payments under this Plan:

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, 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.

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.

Clawback Provisions. If the Participant is an officer of the Company (“Officer”) and the Board, or an appropriate committee thereof, has determined that any fraud, negligence, or intentional misconduct by the Officer was a significant contributing factor to the Company having to restate all or a portion of its financial statement(s), the Board or committee shall take, in its discretion, such action as it deems necessary to remedy the misconduct and prevent its recurrence. In determining what remedies to pursue, the Board or committee will take into account all relevant factors, including whether the restatement was the result of fraud, negligence, or intentional misconduct. The Board will, to the extent permitted by applicable law, in all appropriate cases, require reimbursement of any bonus or incentive compensation paid to the Officer, cause the cancellation of restricted or deferred stock awards and outstanding stock options, and seek reimbursement of any gains realized on the exercise of stock options attributable to such awards, if and to the extent that # the amount of incentive compensation was calculated based upon the achievement of certain financial results that were subsequently reduced due to a restatement, # the Officer engaged in any fraud or misconduct that caused or contributed to the need for the restatement, and # the amount of the bonus or incentive compensation that would have been awarded to the Officer had the financial results been properly reported would have been lower than the amount actually awarded. In addition, the Board may dismiss the Officer, authorize legal action, or take such other action to enforce the Officer’s obligations to the Company as it may deem appropriate in view of all the facts surrounding the particular case. The Company will not seek to recover bonuses or other compensation as detailed above paid more than three years prior to the date the applicable restatement is disclosed.
