KIMBERLY-CLARK CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Note 1. Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.

For further information, refer to the Consolidated Financial Statements and footnotes included in the Corporation’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.

Note 2. Fair Value Measurements

The following fair value information is based on a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The three levels in the hierarchy used to measure fair value are:

Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets accessible at the reporting date for identical assets and liabilities.

Level 2 – Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets. Quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not considered active or financial instruments for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly.

Level 3 – Prices or valuations that require inputs that are significant to the valuation and are unobservable.

During the second quarter of 2010, there were no significant transfers among level 1, 2, or 3 fair value determinations.

Set forth below are the assets and liabilities that are measured on a recurring basis at fair value as of June 30, 2010, together with the inputs used to develop those fair value measurements.

	June  30, 2010		Fair Value Measurements
			Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
	(Millions of dollars)
Assets
Company-owned life insurance (“COLI”)	$	42	$	—	$	42	$	—
Available-for-sale securities		17		12		—		5
Derivatives		68		—		68		—
Total	$	127	$	12	$	110	$	5
Liabilities
Derivatives	$	50	$	—	$	50	$	—

Note 2. (Continued)

The COLI policies are a source of funding primarily for the Corporation’s nonqualified employee benefits and are included in other assets. Available-for-sale securities are included in other current assets and other assets, as appropriate. The derivative assets and liabilities are included in other current assets, other assets, accrued expenses and other liabilities, as appropriate.

Level 1 Fair Values - The fair values of certain available-for-sale securities are based on quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets. Unrealized losses on these securities aggregating $5 million are recorded in other comprehensive income until realized. The unrealized losses have not been recognized in earnings because the Corporation has both the intent and ability to hold the securities for a period of time sufficient to allow for an anticipated recovery of fair value to the cost of such securities.

Level 2 Fair Values - The fair value of the COLI policies is derived from investments in a mix of money market, fixed income and equity funds managed by unrelated fund managers. The fair values of derivatives used to manage interest rate risk and commodity price risk are based on LIBOR rates and interest rate swap curves and NYMEX price quotations, respectively. The fair value of hedging instruments used to manage foreign currency risk is based on quotations of spot currency rates and forward points, which are converted into implied forward currency rates. Additional information on the Corporation’s use of derivative instruments is contained in Note 9.

Level 3 Fair Values - The fair value of certain available-for-sale securities acquired in the fourth quarter of 2009 is based on quoted market prices for the exchange-traded securities, adjusted to reflect the restrictions placed on the sale of these securities. There was no significant change in the fair value from the date of acquisition through June 30, 2010.

Fair Value Disclosures

The following table includes the fair value of the Corporation’s financial instruments as of June 30, 2010, for which fair value disclosure is required:

(Millions of dollars)	Carrying Amount		Estimated Fair Value
Assets
Cash and cash equivalents(a)	$	585	$	585
Time deposits (included in other current assets)(b)		124		124
Long-term notes receivable(c)		609		586
Liabilities and redeemable preferred and common securities of subsidiaries
Short-term debt(d)		236		236
Monetization loan(c)		397		396
Long-term debt(e)		4,966		5,588
Redeemable preferred and common securities of subsidiaries(f)		1,052		1,146

^(a) Cash equivalents are comprised of certificates of deposit, time deposits and other interest-bearing investments with original maturity dates of 90 days or less, all of which are recorded at cost, which approximates fair value.

^(b) Time deposits are comprised of deposits with original maturities of more than 90 days but less than one year, all of which are recorded at cost, which approximates fair value.

8

Note 2. (Continued)

^(c) Long-term notes receivable represent held-to-maturity securities, which arose from the sale of nonstrategic timberlands and related assets. The notes are backed by irrevocable standby letters of credit issued by money center banks. A consolidated variable interest entity (“VIE”) has an outstanding long-term monetization loan secured by the related note held by this VIE (indicated by Note 1 and Loan 1 below). The following summarizes the terms of the notes and the monetization loan as of June 30, 2010 (millions of dollars):

Description	Face Value		Carrying Amount		Maturity	Interest Rate(1)
Note 1	$	397	$	392	09/30/2014	LIBOR
Note 2		220		217	07/07/2011	LIBOR minus 12.5 bps
Loan 1		397		397	01/31/2011	LIBOR plus 127 bps

⁽¹⁾ Payable quarterly, 3-month LIBOR

The difference between the carrying amount of the notes and their fair value represents an unrealized loss position for which an other-than-temporary impairment has not been recognized in earnings because the Corporation has both the intent and ability to hold the notes for a period of time sufficient to allow for an anticipated recovery of fair value to the carrying amount of the notes. Neither the notes nor the monetization loan is traded in active markets. Accordingly, their fair values were calculated using a floating rate pricing model that compared the stated spread to the fair value spread to determine the price at which each of the financial instruments should trade. The model used the following inputs to calculate fair values: face value, current LIBOR rate, fair value credit spread, stated spread, maturity date and interest payment dates.

^(d) Short-term debt is comprised of U.S. commercial paper with original maturities up to 90 days and other similar short-term debt issued by non-U.S. subsidiaries, all of which are recorded at cost, which approximates fair value.

^(e) Long-term debt includes long-term debt instruments and the portion payable within the next twelve months ($524 million). Fair values were estimated based on quoted prices for financial instruments for which all significant inputs were observable, either directly or indirectly.

^(f) The redeemable preferred securities are not traded in active markets. Accordingly, their fair values were calculated using a pricing model that compares the stated spread to the fair value spread to determine the price at which each of the financial instruments should trade. The model used the following inputs to calculate fair values: face value, current benchmark rate, fair value spread, stated spread, maturity date and interest payment dates. The fair value and the carrying amount of the redeemable common securities of $41 million were based on an independent third-party appraisal, adjusted for current market conditions.

Note 3. Highly Inflationary Accounting for Venezuelan Operations

In 2003, the Venezuelan government enacted currency restrictions which have affected the ability of the Corporation’s Venezuelan subsidiary (“K-C Venezuela”) to obtain U.S. dollars at the official exchange rate to pay for significant imports of U.S. dollar-denominated finished goods, raw materials and services to support its operations. For transactions that did not qualify for settlement at the official exchange rate, an unregulated market existed for the acquisition and exchange of bolivar- and U.S. dollar-denominated bonds, effectively resulting in a parallel market exchange rate substantially unfavorable to the official exchange rate.

9

Note 3. (Continued)

In instances during 2009 when the U.S. dollar-denominated imports did not receive government approval to be settled at the official exchange rate of 2.15 bolivars to the U.S. dollar, K-C Venezuela measured the transactions from U.S. dollars to bolivars at the exchange rate in the parallel market that was used to pay for these imports. In instances during 2009 when the U.S. dollar-denominated imports received government approval to be settled at the official exchange rate, K-C Venezuela measured the transactions from U.S. dollars to bolivars at the official exchange rate. During 2009, K-C Venezuela used the official rate to translate its operating results from the bolivar functional currency into U.S. dollars, based on its dividend remittance history at that rate. For the full year 2009, K-C Venezuela represented approximately 3 percent of consolidated net sales, and 1 percent of consolidated operating profit and net income attributable to the Corporation.

The cumulative inflation in Venezuela for the three years ended December 31, 2009 was more than 100 percent, based on the Consumer Price Index/National Consumer Price Index. As a result, effective January 1, 2010, K-C Venezuela began accounting for its operations as highly inflationary, as required by GAAP. Under highly inflationary accounting, K-C Venezuela’s functional currency became the U.S. dollar, and its income statement and balance sheet are measured into U.S. dollars using both current and historical rates of exchange. The effect of changes in exchange rates on bolivar-denominated monetary assets and liabilities is reflected in earnings in other (income) and expense, net. As of June 30, 2010, K-C Venezuela had a bolivar-denominated net monetary asset position of $50 million.

For the first quarter 2010, the Corporation determined that, under highly inflationary accounting, the parallel exchange rate was the appropriate exchange rate to measure K-C Venezuela’s bolivar-denominated transactions into U.S. dollars as this was the rate at which K-C Venezuela had substantially converted the bolivars it generated from its operations during the first quarter of 2010 into U.S. dollars to pay for its imports.

As a result of the adoption of highly inflationary accounting, the Corporation recorded an after-tax charge of $96 million in first quarter 2010 to remeasure K-C Venezuela’s bolivar-denominated net monetary asset position into U.S. dollars at a parallel exchange rate of approximately 6 bolivars per U.S. dollar. In the Condensed Consolidated Cash Flow Statement, this non-cash charge was included in Other in Cash Provided by Operations. This charge was recorded in the following Consolidated Income Statement line items:

	Millions of dollars
Cost of products sold	$	19
Other (income) and expense, net		79
Provision for income taxes		(2	)
Net charge	$	96

On May 18, 2010, the Venezuelan government enacted reforms to its currency exchange regulations to close the parallel market. On June 9, 2010, the Central Bank of Venezuela began a regulated currency exchange system (the “central bank system”) that replaced the previous unregulated parallel market. Under the central bank system, entities domiciled in Venezuela (e.g., K-C Venezuela) are currently limited to convert bolivars into U.S. dollars at a volume of $50 thousand per day, up to a maximum of $350 thousand per month. This volume limitation is insufficient to convert K-C Venezuela’s bolivar-denominated cash into U.S. dollars to pay for the historical levels of U.S. dollar-denominated imports to support its operations.

10

Note 3. (Continued)

As a result of the currency exchange regulations imposed on May 18, 2010, the Corporation determined that the central bank system rate of 5.4 bolivars per U.S. dollar was the appropriate exchange rate to measure K-C Venezuela’s bolivar-denominated transactions into U.S. dollars during the period May 18, 2010 through June 30, 2010, as this was the rate at which K-C Venezuela was able to convert a limited amount of its bolivar-denominated cash into U.S. dollars under the central bank system. Consistent with the first quarter of 2010, for the period April 1, 2010 through May 17, 2010, the Corporation used the parallel exchange rate to measure its bolivar-denominated transactions into U.S. dollars.

At June 30, 2010, the Corporation’s net investment in K-C Venezuela was $140 million.

Note 4. Organization Optimization Initiative

In June 2009, the Corporation announced actions to reduce its worldwide salaried workforce by approximately 1,600 positions by the end of 2009. These actions resulted in cumulative pretax charges of $128 million in 2009, including a pretax charge of $110 million ($78 million after-tax) recorded in the quarter ended June 30, 2009. Accrued expenses related to these actions have been substantially paid.

Costs of these actions were recorded at the business segment and corporate levels as follows:

(Millions of dollars)	Three Months Ended June 30, 2009
Personal Care	$	41
Consumer Tissue		42
K-C Professional & Other		14
Health Care		6
Corporate & Other		7
Total	$	110

On a geographic area basis, $76 million of the charges were recorded in North America and $34 million were recorded in Europe.

The charges were included in the following income statement captions:

(Millions of dollars)	Three Months Ended June 30, 2009
Cost of products sold	$	27

Total	$	815		$	1,418	$	2,233		$	678		$	1,355	$	2,033

The Corporation uses the LIFO method of valuing inventory for financial reporting purposes for most U.S. inventories. Interim LIFO calculations are based on management’s estimates of expected year-end inventory levels and costs. An actual valuation of inventory under the LIFO method is made at the end of each year based on the inventory levels and costs at that time.

Note 6. Employee Postretirement Benefits

During the first and second quarters of 2010, the Corporation made cash contributions of $176 million and $52 million, respectively, to its pension trusts. During the first and second quarters of 2009, the Corporation made cash contributions of $90 million and $405 million, respectively, to its pension trusts. The Corporation currently anticipates contributing about $240 million for the full year 2010 to its pension trusts.

For the U.S. pension plan, equity option strategies are used to reduce the volatility of returns on investments. Zero-cost equity collars are currently in place on the U.S. equity allocation which was about $1.3 billion as of June 30, 2010.

In April 2009, the Corporation took action with respect to its U.S. defined benefit pension plan (other than for certain employees subject to collective bargaining agreements) and supplemental benefit plans, to provide that no future compensation and benefit service will be accrued under these plans for plan years after December 31, 2009 (“U.S. DB Pension Freeze”). The U.S. DB Pension Freeze resulted in a pension curtailment charge aggregating $21 million in the second quarter of 2009 due to the write-off of applicable unamortized prior service costs. The Corporation also took action with respect to its Incentive Investment Plan (a 401(k) plan) and Retirement Contribution Plan (other than for certain employees subject to collective bargaining agreements) and Retirement Contribution Excess Benefit Program to discontinue all contributions to these plans for future plan years. These changes did not affect benefits earned by participants prior to January 1, 2010.

The Corporation adopted, effective January 1, 2010, a new 401(k) profit sharing plan, and amended its Retirement Contribution Excess Benefit Program, to provide for a matching contribution of 100 percent of a U.S. employee’s contributions to the plans, to a yearly maximum of four percent of eligible compensation, as well as a discretionary profit sharing contribution, in which contributions will be based on the Corporation’s profit performance. Except for certain employees subject to collective bargaining agreements, U.S. participants’ investment balances in the Corporation’s existing 401(k) plan and Retirement Contribution Plan were transferred to the new 401(k) plan.

There are no adjustments required to be made to net income for purposes of computing basic and diluted EPS. The average number of common shares outstanding is reconciled to those used in the basic and diluted EPS computations as follows:

	Average Common Shares Outstanding
	Three Months  Ended June 30		Six Months  Ended June 30
(Millions of shares)	2010	2009	2010	2009
Average shares outstanding	412.7	414.1	414.5	413.9
Participating securities	1.0	1.5	1.1	1.7
Basic	413.7	415.6	415.6	415.6
Dilutive effect of stock options	1.0	.1	.8	.1
Dilutive effect of restricted share and restricted share unit awards	.9	.2	.9	.2
Diluted	415.6	415.9	417.3	415.9

Options outstanding during the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2010 to purchase 11.4 million and 14.4 million shares of common stock, respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because the exercise prices of the options were greater than the average market price of the common shares during the periods.

Options outstanding during the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2009 to purchase 26.3 million and 25.2 million shares of common stock, respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because the exercise prices of the options were greater than the average market price of the common shares during the periods.

The number of common shares outstanding as of June 30, 2010 and 2009 was 409.7 million and 414.3 million, respectively.

Note 8. Stockholders’ Equity

Set forth below is a reconciliation of comprehensive income and stockholders’ equity attributable to Kimberly-Clark Corporation and noncontrolling interests for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009. Also reconciled for the same periods are the redeemable preferred and common securities of subsidiaries, which are required to be classified outside of stockholders’ equity.

				Stockholders’ Equity Attributable to

Balance at June 30, 2010				$	5,015		$	272		$	1,052

The net unrealized currency translation adjustments for the six months ended June 30, 2010 are primarily due to a strengthening of the U.S. dollar versus the Australian dollar, euro and British pound.

In the six months ended June 30, 2010, the Corporation repurchased 8.2 million shares for a total cost of $500 million. The Corporation expects to repurchase $700 million to $800 million of its common stock in 2010.

Net unrealized currency gains or losses resulting from the translation of assets and liabilities of non-U.S. subsidiaries, except those in highly inflationary economies, are accumulated in a separate section of stockholders’ equity. For these operations, changes in exchange rates generally do not affect cash flows; therefore, unrealized translation adjustments are recorded in stockholders’ equity rather than income. Upon the sale or substantially complete liquidation of any of these subsidiaries, the applicable unrealized translation adjustment would be removed from stockholders’ equity and reported as part of the gain or loss on the sale or liquidation.

Also included in stockholders’ equity are the effects of foreign exchange rate changes on intercompany balances of a long-term investment nature and transactions designated as hedges of net foreign investments.

Note 8. (Continued)

The purchase of additional ownership in an already controlled subsidiary is recorded as an equity transaction with no gain or loss recognized in consolidated net income or comprehensive income. The following schedule reflects the effect of a change in ownership interest between the Corporation and a noncontrolling interest.

(Millions of dollars)	Six Months  Ended June 30 2009
Net Income attributable to Kimberly-Clark Corporation	$	810
Decrease in Kimberly-Clark Corporation’s additional paid-in capital for purchase of remaining shares in its Andean region subsidiary(a)		(133	)
Change from net income attributable to Kimberly-Clark Corporation and transfers to noncontrolling interests	$	677

^(a) During the first quarter of 2009, the Corporation acquired the remaining 31 percent interest in its Andean region subsidiary, Colombiana Kimberly Colpapel S.A., for $289 million. The acquisition was recorded as an equity transaction that reduced noncontrolling interests, accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) and additional paid-in capital classified in stockholders’ equity by $278 million and increased investments in equity companies by $11 million.

Note 9. Objectives and Strategies for Using Derivatives

As a multinational enterprise, the Corporation is exposed to risks, such as changes in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates, commodity prices and investments of its defined benefit pension plans. A number of practices are employed to manage these risks, including operating and financing activities and, where deemed appropriate, the use of derivative instruments. The Corporation’s policies allow the use of derivatives for risk management purposes and prohibit their use for speculation. The Corporation’s policies also prohibit the use of any leveraged derivative instrument. Foreign currency derivative instruments, interest rate swaps, equity collars and the majority of commodity hedging contracts are entered into with major financial institutions.

On the date the derivative contract is entered into, the Corporation formally designates certain derivatives as cash flow, fair value or net investment hedges (each discussed below), and establishes how the effectiveness of these hedges will be assessed and measured. This process links the derivatives to the transactions or financial balances they are hedging. Changes in the fair value of derivatives not designated as hedging instruments are recorded to earnings when they occur.

Set forth below is a summary of the fair values of the Corporation’s derivative instruments as of June 30, classified by the risks they are used to manage:

	Assets				Liabilities
(Millions of dollars)	2010		2009		2010		2009
Foreign currency exchange risk	$	38	$	44	$	34	$	134
Interest rate risk		29		30		11		—
Commodity price risk		1		1		5		16
Total	$	68	$	75	$	50	$	150

Note 9. (Continued)

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk Management

The Corporation has a centralized U.S. dollar functional currency international treasury operation (“In-House Bank”) that manages foreign currency exchange risks by netting, on a daily basis, exposures to recorded non-U.S. dollar assets and liabilities and entering into derivative instruments with third parties whenever the net exposure in any single currency exceeds predetermined limits. These derivative instruments are not designated as hedging instruments. Changes in the fair value of these instruments are recorded in earnings when they occur. The In-House Bank also records the gain or loss on the remeasurement of its non-U.S. dollar-denominated monetary assets and liabilities in earnings. Consequently, the effect on earnings from the use of these non-designated derivatives is substantially neutralized by the recorded transactional gains and losses. The In-House Bank’s daily notional derivative positions with third parties averaged $1.1 billion in the first six months of 2010 and its average net exposure for the period was $900 million. The In-House Bank used eight counterparties for its foreign exchange derivative contracts.

The Corporation enters into derivative instruments to hedge a portion of the net foreign currency exposures of its non-U.S. operations, principally for their forecasted purchases of pulp, which are priced in U.S. dollars. The derivative instruments used to manage these exposures are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges. The Corporation also hedges a portion of the net foreign currency exposures of its non-U.S. operations for imported intercompany finished goods and work-in-process priced predominately in U.S. dollars and euros through the use of derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges.

Gains and losses on these cash flow hedges, to the extent effective, are recorded in other comprehensive income net of related income taxes and released to earnings as the related finished goods inventory containing the pulp and imported intercompany purchases are sold to unaffiliated customers. As of June 30, 2010, outstanding derivative contracts of $520 million notional value were designated as cash flow hedges for the forecasted purchases of pulp and intercompany finished goods and work-in-process.

The foreign currency exposure on intercompany balances managed outside the In-House Bank, primarily loans, is hedged with derivative instruments with third parties. At June 30, 2010, the notional amount of these predominately undesignated derivative instruments was $610 million.

Foreign Currency Translation Risk Management

Translation adjustments result from translating foreign entities’ financial statements to U.S. dollars from their functional currencies. Translation exposure, which results from changes in translation rates between functional currencies and the U.S. dollar, generally is not hedged. However, consistent with other years, a portion of the Corporation’s net investment in its Mexican affiliate has been hedged. At June 30, 2010, the Corporation had in place net investment hedges of $90 million for a portion of its investment in its Mexican affiliate. Changes in the fair value of net investment hedges are recognized in other comprehensive income to offset the change in value of the net investment being hedged. There was no significant ineffectiveness on these hedges as of June 30, 2010.

18

Note 9. (Continued)

Interest Rate Risk Management

Interest rate risk is managed using a portfolio of variable- and fixed-rate debt composed of short- and long-term instruments and interest rate swaps. The objective is to maintain a cost-effective mix that management deems appropriate. From time to time, interest rate swap contracts, which are derivative instruments, are entered into to facilitate the maintenance of the desired ratio of variable- and fixed-rate debt. These derivative instruments are designated and qualify as fair value hedges. At June 30, 2010, interest rate swap contracts with an aggregate notional value of $700 million were in place.

From time to time, derivatives are used to hedge the anticipated issuance of fixed-rate debt. These exposures are hedged with forward-starting swaps or “treasury locks” (e.g., a 10-year “treasury lock” hedging the anticipated underlying U.S. Treasury interest rate related to issuance of 10-year debt). These swaps are designated as cash flow hedges. At June 30, 2010, outstanding forward-starting swaps with an aggregate notional value of $400 million were in place.

Commodity Price Risk Management

The Corporation uses derivative instruments to hedge a portion of its exposure to market risk arising from changes in the price of natural gas. Hedging of this risk is accomplished by entering into forward swap contracts, which are designated as cash flow hedges of specific quantities of natural gas expected to be purchased in future months.

As of June 30, 2010, outstanding commodity forward contracts were in place to hedge forecasted purchases of about 20 percent of the Corporation’s estimated natural gas requirements for the balance of the current year and a lesser percentage for future periods.

Effect of Derivative Instruments on Results of Operations and Other Comprehensive Income

Fair Value Hedges

Derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as fair value hedges are predominately used to manage interest rate risk. The fair values of these instruments are recorded as an asset or liability, as appropriate, with the offset recorded in current earnings. The offset to the change in fair values of the hedged debt instruments also is recorded in current earnings. Any realized gain or loss on the derivatives that hedge interest rate risk is amortized to interest expense over the life of the related debt.

Fair value hedges resulted in no significant ineffectiveness in the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2009. For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, no gain or loss was recognized in earnings as a result of a hedged firm commitment no longer qualifying as a fair value hedge.

Cash Flow Hedges

For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative instrument is initially recorded in other comprehensive income, net of related income taxes, and recognized in earnings in the same period that the hedged exposure affects earnings.

19

Note 9. (Continued)

Cash flow hedges resulted in no significant ineffectiveness in the six-month periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2009. For the six-month periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, no gains or losses were reclassified into earnings as a result of the discontinuance of cash flow hedges due to the original forecasted transaction no longer being probable of occurring. At June 30, 2010, $23 million of after-tax gains are expected to be reclassified from AOCI primarily to cost of sales during the next twelve months, consistent with the timing of the underlying hedged transactions. The maximum maturity of cash flow hedges in place at June 30, 2010 is July 2012.

• Personal care net sales in North America increased 7 percent versus the second quarter of 2009. Sales volumes were up 3 percent and net selling prices rose 2 percent, driven by a lower level of promotional activity for Huggies diapers. In addition, changes in product mix and currency exchange rates each added 1 percent of growth. Feminine care sales volumes grew at a double-digit rate for the second consecutive quarter as a result of the U by Kotex line extension. Adult care volumes also increased double-digits, benefitting from recent innovations in the Poise and Depend brands and supporting marketing campaigns. In other areas of the business, sales volumes for the Corporation’s child care brands advanced 2 percent, while volumes for Huggies baby wipes decreased 2 percent and volumes for Huggies diapers were down slightly.

27

In Europe, personal care net sales fell 5 percent in the quarter, including a negative currency effect of 2 percent. Changes in net selling prices and product mix each reduced sales by 1 percent. In addition, overall sales volumes were down 1 percent compared to a double-digit increase in the year-ago period.

In the Corporation’s international operations in Asia, Latin America, the Middle East, Eastern Europe and Africa, personal care net sales increased 3 percent despite an unfavorable currency impact of 3 percent. Sales volumes were up 5 percent, with growth in a number of markets, including Australia, China and most of Latin America. On the other hand, volumes fell significantly in Venezuela in a difficult foreign currency exchange environment. Overall net selling prices rose 1 percent, as increases in Venezuela were mostly offset by modest declines elsewhere.

• In North America, net sales of consumer tissue products decreased 5 percent compared to the year-ago period. Net selling prices improved 2 percent, primarily due to sheet count reductions on Cottonelle bathroom tissue, and changes in product mix benefited sales 2 percent. Sales volumes fell 9 percent in the quarter and were impacted by the sheet count reductions, consumer trade-down in paper towels and competitive promotional activity. By product category, bathroom tissue volumes decreased high-single digits, towel volumes declined at a double-digit rate and Kleenex facial tissue volumes were down slightly.

In Europe, consumer tissue net sales declined about 5 percent compared with the second quarter of 2009, including unfavorable currency effects of 2 percent. Sales volumes were off 2 percent in a continued difficult environment, while changes in product mix reduced sales 1 percent.

In the Corporation’s international operations in Asia, Latin America, the Middle East, Eastern Europe and Africa, consumer tissue net sales increased 6 percent, including a 1 percent benefit from currency effects. The growth in organic sales was due to higher net selling prices, while sales volumes and product mix were essentially even with the prior year.

• Net sales of K-C Professional (KCP) & other products increased 8.8 percent compared with the second quarter of 2009. The acquisition of Jackson Products, Inc. (“Jackson”) added 4 percent of sales growth in the quarter. In addition, net selling prices increased more than 4 percent and product mix was slightly positive, reflecting the Corporation’s continued focus on increasing net realized revenue. Organic sales volumes were even with year-ago levels. In North America, KCP net sales increased 11 percent, including an approximate 7 percent benefit from Jackson. Net selling prices rose 4 percent and changes in currency rates added 1 percent of sales growth, while organic sales volumes were down about 1 percent. Washroom product volumes declined in a continued difficult economic environment, while high-margin wiper and safety product volumes grew at a solid rate. In Europe, KCP’s net sales rose 6 percent despite an unfavorable currency effect of 3 percent. Sales volumes increased about 10 percent compared to a double-digit decline in the year-ago period and favorable product mix benefited sales by 1 percent, while net selling prices were down 2 percent. In the Corporation’s international operations in Asia, Latin America, the Middle East, Eastern Europe and Africa, KCP’s net sales increased 19 percent, including a 1 percent benefit from currency effects. The combined impact of higher net selling prices and improved product mix increased sales by 13 percent, and sales volumes were up 5 percent, with particular strength in Asia.

28

• Net sales of health care products increased 2.7 percent in the second quarter due to an 11 percent benefit from the acquisition of I-Flow Corporation (“I-Flow”) and a 1 percent increase from favorable currency exchange rates. However, organic sales volumes declined 6 percent and net selling prices fell 3 percent. The organic volume comparison was adversely affected by approximately 5 percent due to increased demand in 2009 for face masks as a result of the H1N1 flu virus. In addition, volumes in 2010 were impacted by unanticipated distributor and end-user inventory reductions. The Corporation believes that most of these reductions are now complete. Meanwhile, organic sales volumes for medical devices rose 9 percent in the quarter.

Commentary:

• Net sales in North America increased 2.8 percent primarily due to higher net selling prices, improvements in product mix and favorable currency effects.

• Net sales outside North America increased 2.9 percent because higher sales volumes in a number of markets, including Australia, Korea, China and most of Latin America, and higher net selling prices, primarily in Venezuela, were partially offset by unfavorable currency effects.

^(a) Includes inflation for key cost inputs.

^(b) Includes cost savings and the impact of the 2009 organization optimization initiative charges.

Consolidated operating profit increased 16.7 percent compared to the prior year. The benefits of higher net sales, cost savings of approximately $105 million, lower pension expense of about $40 million, and a $35 million positive impact from increased manufacturing volumes as a result of production curtailment in the year-ago period, were partially offset by inflation in key cost inputs of about $235 million and a $40 million increase in strategic marketing investments. Current year comparisons were also favorably impacted by organization optimization initiative charges of $110 million in 2009, and a current quarter benefit of $35 million as a result of the initiative. Overall marketing, research and general expenses were similar to year-ago levels, as increases in 2010, in part related to I-Flow and strategic marketing, were essentially offset by the organization optimization initiative charges in 2009.

30

• Personal care segment operating profit increased 12.4 percent as the benefits from cost savings, higher net selling prices and a positive impact from increased manufacturing volumes as a result of production curtailment in the year-ago period, were partially offset by input cost inflation, higher marketing spending and unfavorable currency effects. In addition, current period comparisons benefited from the charges related to the organization optimization initiative in 2009. In North America, operating profit increased from the prior year as cost savings, higher net selling prices, and the positive impact from increased manufacturing volumes as a result of production curtailment in the year-ago period, were partially offset by inflation in key input costs. Operating profit in Europe increased because cost savings and a lower level of marketing and general expense due to the organization optimization initiative charges in 2009 were partially offset by inflation in key input costs. In K-C’s international operations in Asia, Latin America, the Middle East, Eastern Europe and Africa, operating profit was essentially even as higher sales volumes, a positive impact from increased manufacturing volumes as a result of production curtailment in the year-ago period, and higher net selling prices were offset by unfavorable currency effects and higher marketing costs.

• Consumer tissue segment operating profit decreased 6.2 percent as higher net selling prices, cost savings, and a lower level of marketing, research and general expenses were more than offset by inflation in key input costs, unfavorable currency effects and lower sales volumes. In addition, current period comparisons benefited from the charges related to the organization optimization initiative in 2009. Operating profit in North America decreased as higher net selling prices and a lower level of marketing, research and general expenses were more than offset by inflation in key input costs and lower sales volumes. In Europe, operating profit increased as lower marketing, research and general expenses and cost savings were partially offset by inflation in key input costs. Operating profit in K-C’s international operations in Asia, Latin America, the Middle East, Eastern Europe and Africa, decreased because higher net selling prices were more than offset by unfavorable currency effects and inflation in key input costs.

• Operating profit for K-C Professional & Other products increased 30.4 percent due to higher net selling prices and cost savings, partially offset by inflation in key input costs.

• Health care segment operating profit decreased 32.3 percent because increased sales volumes and cost savings were more than offset by higher selling and general expenses, inflation in key input costs and lower net selling prices.

Commentary:

• Operating profit in North America was even with the prior year as higher net selling prices, cost savings, the positive impact from increased manufacturing volumes as a result of production curtailment in the year-ago period, and favorable product mix were essentially offset by inflation in key cost inputs and lower sales volumes. In addition, the current year comparisons benefited from charges in 2009 related to the organization optimization initiative.

• Operating profit outside North America increased 22.7 percent as higher net selling prices, cost savings, the positive impact from increased manufacturing volumes as a result of production curtailment in the year-ago period, and higher sales volumes were partially offset by inflation in key cost inputs and unfavorable currency effects. In addition, the current year comparisons benefited from the organization optimization initiative charges in Europe in 2009.

Additional Income Statement Commentary

• Interest expense for the second quarter of 2010 was $11 million lower than the prior year due to a lower average level of debt and lower interest rates.

• The Corporation’s effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2010 was 27.5 percent compared to 29.0 percent in the prior year.

• The Corporation’s share of net income of equity companies in the second quarter increased to $47 million from $44 million in 2009, mainly as a result of higher net income at Kimberly-Clark de Mexico, S.A.B. de C.V. (“KCM”). KCM achieved high single-digit growth in both organic sales and net income, and delivered improved gross margin.

Consolidated operating profit increased 11.2 percent compared with the prior year. For the first six months of 2010, factors contributing to the increase in operating profit included organic sales growth, cost savings of $185 million, organization optimization initiative charges of $110 million in 2009, lower pension expense of $80 million, and increased manufacturing volumes as a result of production curtailment in the year-ago period improved comparisons by approximately $65 million. These positive factors were partially offset by inflation in key cost inputs of about $310 million and increased marketing, research and general expenses, including higher strategic marketing spending of about $100 million and increases related to the I-Flow acquisition and to support future growth in K-C International.

In addition, the Corporation recorded charges in 2010 of $19 million in cost of products sold, and $79 million in other income and (expense), net related to the adoption of highly inflationary accounting in Venezuela effective January 1, 2010. In addition, other income and (expense), net included foreign currency transaction losses of $26 million in the first six months of 2010 and $96 million in the year-ago period.

• Personal care segment operating profit increased 9.4 percent as cost savings, higher net selling prices, a positive impact from increased manufacturing volumes as a result of production curtailment in the year-ago period, and higher sales volumes were partially offset by inflation in key input costs, unfavorable currency effects, and increased marketing, research and general expense, including strategic marketing spending.

• Consumer tissue segment operating profit declined 6.5 percent as cost savings, higher net selling prices, and the benefits from increased manufacturing volumes as a result of production curtailment in the year-ago period were more than offset by inflation in key input costs, lower sales volumes and unfavorable currency effects.

• Operating profit for K-C Professional & Other products increased 31.9 percent due to higher net selling prices and cost savings, partially offset by inflation in key input costs.

35

• Health care segment operating profit decreased 10.0 percent as higher sales volumes and cost savings were more than offset by increased selling and general expenses and inflation in key input costs.

^(b) Included in Corporate and Other is a $19 million charge related to the adoption of highly inflationary accounting in Venezuela.

Commentary:

• Operating profit in North America increased 5.7 percent as cost savings, higher net selling prices, and the positive impact from increased manufacturing volumes as a result of production curtailment in the year-ago period, were partially offset by inflation in key cost inputs and increases in marketing, research and general expenses.

• Operating profit outside North America increased 9.6 percent as cost savings, higher sales volumes, higher net selling prices, and the positive impact from increased manufacturing volumes as a result of production curtailment in the year-ago period, were partially offset by inflation in key cost inputs, unfavorable currency effects and increases in marketing, research and general expenses.

Additional Income Statement Commentary

• Interest expense for the first six months of 2010 was $23 million lower than the prior year primarily due to a lower average level of debt and lower interest rates.

36

• For the first six months, the Corporation’s effective tax rate was 33.3 percent in 2010 compared with 29.1 percent in 2009. The difference is driven primarily by the nondeductible currency losses resulting from the adoption of highly inflationary accounting in Venezuela and changes in tax law related to U.S. health care reform legislation, including a charge related to the Medicare Part D subsidy.

• The Corporation’s share of net income of equity companies for the first six months of 2010 increased to $90 million from $76 million in 2009, principally due to higher net income at Kimberly-Clark de Mexico.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

• Cash provided by operations for the first six months of 2010 was $1.1 billion, a decrease of approximately 38 percent from $1.7 billion in the prior year. The decrease is primarily related to a modest increase in working capital compared to a significant decline in the prior year. On the other hand, pension plan contributions to the Corporation’s defined benefit pension plans totaled approximately $228 million in 2010 versus $495 million in 2009.

• Capital spending for the first six months was $363 million compared with $396 million last year. The Corporation currently anticipates full year capital spending to be at the low end, or potentially slightly below, its target range of $1.0 to $1.1 billion in 2010.

• At June 30, 2010, total debt and redeemable securities was $6.7 billion compared with $6.5 billion at the end of 2009.

• During the second quarter of 2010, the Corporation repurchased approximately 5.7 million shares of its common stock at a cost of about $350 million. Year-to-date, the Corporation has repurchased approximately 8.2 million shares for a total cost of $500 million. As previously announced, the Corporation expects to repurchase $700 million to $800 million of its common stock in 2010.

• In 2003, the Venezuelan government enacted currency restrictions, which have affected the ability of K-C Venezuela to obtain U.S. dollars at the official exchange rate to pay for significant imports of finished goods, raw materials and services to support its operations. These exchange restrictions have negatively impacted K-C Venezuela because it has had to meet its foreign currency needs at rates which are substantially unfavorable to the official exchange rate. During the second quarter 2010, the Venezuelan government enacted reforms to its currency exchange regulations that include a volume limitation that is insufficient to convert K-C Venezuela’s bolivar-denominated cash into U.S. dollars to pay for the historical levels of U.S. dollar-denominated imports to support its operations.

For the full year 2009, K-C Venezuela represented approximately 3 percent of consolidated net sales, and 1 percent of consolidated operating profit and net income attributable to the Corporation. However, the currency exchange limitations have negatively impacted K-C Venezuela’s ability to import U.S. dollar-denominated finished goods and raw materials. While this has not had a material effect on the Corporation’s 2010 earnings, second quarter sales volumes of K-C Venezuela were significantly lower than 2009 levels, a trend which is expected to continue in the second half of the year.

37

At June 30, 2010, the Corporation’s net investment in K-C Venezuela was $140 million.

See Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more details about the accounting for K-C Venezuela’s financial results and the previously discussed charge resulting from the January 1, 2010 adoption of highly inflationary accounting in Venezuela.

• Management believes that the Corporation’s ability to generate cash from operations and its capacity to issue short-term and long-term debt are adequate to fund operations, capital spending, payment of dividends and other needs in the foreseeable future.

Environmental Matters

The Corporation has been named a potentially responsible party under the provisions of the federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act, or analogous state statutes, at a number of waste disposal sites, none of which, individually or in the aggregate, in management’s opinion, is likely to have a material adverse effect on the Corporation’s business, financial condition, results of operations, or liquidity.

Business Outlook

The Corporation plans to continue to strengthen its brands, pursue targeted growth initiatives and invest for future growth. The Corporation has launched a number of innovations already this year and intends to bring more to market in the second half of the year. The Corporation continues to expect that strategic marketing spending will rise at a faster pace than sales in 2010, and is planning for higher input cost inflation than previously estimated, although it is expected that pulp prices will start to fall sequentially in the second half of the year. The Corporation also expects that sales volumes in the second half of the year will increase somewhat from second quarter levels. Management continues to focus on increasing revenue realization, generating incremental cost savings and controlling discretionary spending.

WHEREAS, the Corporation has adopted the 2001 Equity Participation Plan (the “Plan”) to encourage those employees who materially contribute, by managerial, scientific or other innovative means, to the success of the Corporation or of an Affiliate, to acquire an ownership interest in the Corporation, thereby increasing their motivation for and interest in the Corporation’s or the Affiliate’s long-term success;

NOW, THEREFORE, it is agreed as follows:

1. Number of Shares Optioned; Option Price. The Corporation grants to the Employee the right and option to purchase in his own name, on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, all or any part of an aggregate of              shares of the $1.25 par value common stock of the Corporation, and at the purchase price of $             per share, as granted on the date set forth above and as reflected on the Merrill Lynch Benefits OnLine site, or any successor system, via the Grant Summary screen as the Options Granted and the Grant Price. This option shall not be an incentive stock option within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).

2. Exercise of Option.

(a) Limitations on Exercise. This option shall be subject to forfeiture until the Employee becomes vested in such Awards according to the schedule set forth below. This option shall not be exercisable until at least one year has expired after the granting of this option, during which time the Employee shall have been in the continuous employ of the Corporation or an Affiliate; provided, however, that the option shall become exercisable immediately in the event of a Qualified Termination of Employment of the Employee, without regard to the limitations set forth below in this subsection. At any time during the period of this option after the end of the first year, the Employee may purchase up to 30 percent of the shares covered by this option; after the end of the second year, an additional 30 percent; and after the end of the third year, the remaining 40 percent of the total number of shares covered by the option, so that, upon the expiration of the third year, the Employee will have become entitled to purchase

all shares subject to this option; provided, however, that if the Employee’s employment is terminated for any reason other than death, Retirement, or Total and Permanent Disability, this option shall only be exercisable for three months following such termination and only for the number of shares which were exercisable on the date of such termination. In no event, however, may this option be exercised more than ten (10) years after the date of its grant.

The above provisions of Section 2(a) notwithstanding, to the extent provided by rules of the Committee referred to in the Plan (hereinafter referred to as the “Committee”), this option is not exercisable during any period during which the Employee’s right to make deposits to the Kimberly-Clark Corporation Salaried Employees Incentive Investment Plan is suspended pursuant to a provision of such plan or rules adopted thereunder to comply with regulations regarding hardship withdrawals promulgated by the Internal Revenue Service.

A termination of employment shall not be deemed to have occurred while an Employee is on military leave or other bona fide leave of absence if the period of such leave does not exceed six months, or if longer, so long as the Employee retains a right to reemployment with the Corporation or an Affiliate under an applicable statute or by contract. For purposes of this subparagraph, a leave of absence constitutes a bona fide leave of absence only if there is a reasonable expectation that the Employee will return to perform services for the Corporation or an Affiliate. If the period of leave exceeds six months and the Employee does not retain a right to reemployment under an applicable statute or by contract, the employment relationship is deemed to terminate on the first date immediately following such six-month period. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, where a leave of absence is due to any medically determinable physical or mental impairment that can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than six months, where such impairment causes the Employee to be unable to perform the duties of his or her position of employment or any substantially similar position of employment, a 29-month period of absence is substituted for such six-month period in determining whether a termination of employment shall be deemed to have occurred. A termination of employment with the Corporation or an Affiliate to accept immediate reemployment with the Corporation or an Affiliate likewise shall not be deemed to be a termination of employment for purposes of the Plan. An Employee who is classified as an intermittent employee shall be deemed to have a termination of employment for purposes of the Plan.

(b) Exercise after Death, Retirement, or Disability. If the Employee dies, Retires or becomes Totally and Permanently Disabled without having exercised this option in full, the remaining portion of this option, determined without regard to the limitations in subsection 2(a), may be exercised within the earlier of (i) three years from the date of death or Total and Permanent Disability or five years from the date of Retirement, as the case may be, or (ii) the remaining period of this option. In the case of an Employee who dies, this option may be exercised by the person or persons to whom the Employee’s rights under this option shall pass by will or by applicable law or, if no such person has such rights, by his executor or administrator.

2

Notwithstanding the above, if the Corporation receives an opinion of counsel that there has been a legal judgment and/or legal development in the Employee’s jurisdiction that likely would result in the favorable Retirement treatment that applies to this option pursuant to this subsection (b) being deemed unlawful and/or discriminatory, then the Corporation will not apply the favorable Retirement treatment at the time of termination and this option will be treated as it would under the rules that apply if the Employee’s employment is terminated for reasons other than death, Retirement or Total and Permanent Disability.

(c) Method of Exercise. This option shall be exercised by delivering to Merrill Lynch, or other authorized agent of the Corporation, as set forth in their terms and conditions of exercise, written notice of the number of shares with respect to which option rights are being exercised and by paying in full the option price of the shares at the time being acquired. Payment may be made in cash or, for U.S. Employees only, in shares of the Corporation’s common stock as set forth in the terms and conditions of exercise. The date of exercise shall be deemed to be the date of receipt of the written notice and payment for the shares being purchased. The Employee shall have none of the rights of a stockholder with respect to shares covered by such options until the Employee becomes record holder of such shares.

(d) Payment of Withholding Taxes. No shares of common stock may be purchased under this option, unless prior to or simultaneously with such purchase, (i) the Employee, (ii) in the event of his death, the person succeeding to his rights hereunder or, (iii) in the event of a transfer of an option under Section 8 hereof, either the Employee, the Immediate Family Members or the entity succeeding to his rights hereunder, shall pay to the Corporation such amount as the Corporation advises is required under applicable federal, state or local laws to withhold and pay over to governmental taxing authorities by reason of the purchase of such shares of common stock pursuant to this option. Other than a purchase of shares pursuant to an option which had previously been transferred under Section 8 hereof, payment of required withholding taxes may be made with shares of the Corporation’s common stock which otherwise would be distributable upon exercise of the option, pursuant to the rules of the Committee.

3. Nontransferability. Except as may otherwise be provided by the Committee, this option shall be transferable only by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and during the Employee’s lifetime shall be exercisable only by him.

4. Compliance with Law. No shares of common stock may be purchased under this option, unless prior to the purchase thereof, the Corporation shall have received an opinion of counsel to the effect that the issuance and sale of such shares by the Corporation to the Employee will not constitute a violation of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. As a condition of exercise, the Employee shall, if requested by the Corporation, submit a written statement in form satisfactory to counsel for the Corporation, to the effect that any shares of common stock purchased upon exercise of this option will be purchased for investment and not with a view to the distribution thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Corporation shall have the right, in its discretion, to cause the certificates representing shares of common stock purchased hereunder to be appropriately legended to refer to such undertaking or to any legal restrictions imposed upon the transferability thereof by reason of such undertaking.

3

The option granted hereby is subject to the condition that if the listing, registration or qualification of the shares subject hereto on any securities exchange or under any state or federal law, or if the consent or approval of any regulatory body shall be necessary as a condition of, or in connection with, the granting of the option or the delivery or purchase of shares thereunder, such option may not be exercised in whole or in part unless and until such listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval shall have been effected or obtained. The Corporation agrees to use its best efforts to obtain any such requisite listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval.

5. No Right of Continued Employment. The granting of this option does not confer upon the Employee any legal right to be continued in the employ of the Corporation or its Affiliates, and the Corporation and its Affiliates reserve the right to discharge the Employee whenever the interest of the Corporation or its Affiliates may so require without liability to the Corporation or its Affiliates, the Board of Directors of the Corporation or its Affiliates, or the Committee, except as to any rights which may be expressly conferred on the Employee under this option.

6. Discretion of the Corporation, Board of Directors and the Committee. Any decision made or action taken by the Corporation or by the Board of Directors of the Corporation or by the Committee arising out of or in connection with the construction, administration, interpretation and effect of this option shall be within the absolute discretion of the Corporation, the Board of Directors of the Corporation or the Committee, as the case may be, and shall be conclusive and binding upon all persons.

7. Amendments. The Committee may at any time alter or amend this option to the extent (1) permitted by law, (2) permitted by the rules of any stock exchange on which the common stock or any other security of the Corporation is listed, (3) permitted under applicable provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (including rule 16b-3 thereof), and (4) that such action would not result in the disallowance of a deduction to the Corporation under section 162(m) of the Code or any successor section (including the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Committee may not take any action that would result in any amount payable under this option qualifying as “applicable employee remuneration” as so defined for purposes of section 162(m) of the Code.

8. Inalienability of Benefits and Interest. This option and the rights and privileges conferred hereby shall not be subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance or charge, and any such attempted action shall be void and no such benefit or interest shall be in any manner liable for or subject to debts, contracts, liabilities, engagements, or torts of the Employee.

9. Delaware Law to Govern. All questions pertaining to the construction, interpretation, regulation, validity and effect of the provisions of this option shall be determined in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware.

4

10. Purchase of Common Stock. The Corporation and its Affiliates may, but shall not be required to, purchase shares of common stock of the Corporation for purposes of satisfying the requirements of this option. The Corporation and its Affiliates shall have no obligation to retain and shall have the unlimited right to sell or otherwise deal with for their own account, any shares of common stock of the Corporation purchased for satisfying the requirements of this option.

11. Notices. Any notice to be given to the Corporation under this option shall be addressed to the Corporation in care of its Treasurer located at the World Headquarters, and any notice to be given to the Employee under the terms of this option may be addressed to him at his address as it appears on the Corporation’s records, or at such other address as either party may hereafter designate in writing to the other. Any such notice shall be deemed to have been duly given if and when enclosed in a properly sealed envelope or wrapper addressed as aforesaid, registered and deposited, postage and registry fee prepaid, in a post office or branch post office regularly maintained by the United States Government.

12. Changes in Capitalization. In the event there are any changes in the common stock or the capitalization of the Corporation through a corporate transaction, such as any merger, any acquisition through the issuance of capital stock of the Corporation, any consolidation, any separation of the Corporation (including a spin-off or other distribution of stock of the Corporation), any reorganization of the Corporation (whether or not such reorganization comes within the definition of such term in section 368 of the Code), or any partial or complete liquidation by the Corporation, recapitalization, stock dividend, stock split or other change in the corporate structure, appropriate adjustments and changes shall be made by the Committee in (a) the number of shares and the option price per share of stock subject to this option, and (b) such other provisions of this option as may be necessary and equitable to carry out the foregoing purposes, provided, however that no such adjustment or change may be made to the extent that such adjustment or change will result in the disallowance of a deduction to the Corporation under section 162(m) of the Code or any successor section.

13. Effect on Other Plans. All benefits under this option shall constitute special compensation and shall not affect the level of benefits provided to or received by the Employee (or the Employee’s estate or beneficiaries) as part of any employee benefit plan of the Corporation or an Affiliate. This option shall not be construed to affect in any way the Employee’s rights and obligations under any other plan maintained by the Corporation or an Affiliate on behalf of employees.

14. Successors. This option shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of any successor or successors of the Corporation.

15. Defined Terms. Terms which are capitalized are defined herein or in the Plan and have the same meaning set forth in the Plan, unless the context indicates otherwise.

16. For U.S. Employees Only. A U.S. Employee who has not previously signed a noncompete agreement has until the end of the one hundred twenty (120) day period beginning from the Grant Date of this option to sign and return the Noncompete Agreement provided to such Employee. If the U.S. Employee does not sign and return the provided Noncompete Agreement on or before the end of such one hundred twenty (120) day period then the grant of the right and option to purchase the shares of common stock of the Corporation, as set forth in Section 1, shall not be binding on and shall be voidable by the Corporation, in which case it shall have no further force or effect.

5

17. Acceptance of Option Terms and Conditions. An Employee has until the end of the one hundred twenty (120) day period beginning from the Grant Date of this option to accept this Award Agreement. If the Employee does not accept this Award Agreement on or before the end of such one hundred twenty (120) day period, then the grant of the right and option to purchase the shares of common stock of the Corporation, as set forth in Section 1, shall not be binding on and shall be voidable by the Corporation, in which case it shall have no further force or effect.

Acknowledgment of Conditions

I understand, acknowledge and agree to the following conditions with respect to the Award granted to me under the Plan:

• The 2001 Equity Participation Plan (the “Plan”) is discretionary in nature and the Corporation may cancel or terminate it at any time. The grant of an option is a voluntary and occasional benefit and does not create any contractual or other right to receive a grant of options or benefits in lieu of options in the future. Future grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Corporation, including, but not limited to, the timing of any grant, the number of option shares, vesting provisions and the exercise price.

• My participation in the Plan is voluntary. The value of this option and the shares of common stock covered by this option are extraordinary items that do not constitute compensation of any kind for services of any kind rendered to the Corporation or my actual employer (the “Employer”), and which are outside the scope of my employment contract, if any, and are not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation. As such, the option is not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purposes, including, but not limited to, calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension, retirement or welfare benefits or similar payments and in no event shall be considered as compensation for, or relating in any way to, past services for the Corporation, the Employer or any Affiliate.

• Vesting of any option shares ceases upon termination of active employment for any reason (whether or not in breach of local labor laws and except as may otherwise be explicitly provided in the Plan document or this Award Agreement), and will not be extended by any notice period mandated under local law (e.g., active employment would not include a period of “garden leave” or similar period pursuant to local law); the Committee shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when I am no longer actively employed for purposes of this option.

• No claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from termination of this option or diminution in value of this option resulting from termination of my employment by the Corporation or the Employer (for any reason whatsoever and whether or not in breach of local labor laws) and, in consideration of the grant of this option, to which I am not otherwise entitled, I irrevocably agree never to institute any claim against the Corporation or the Employer, waive my ability, if any, to bring any such claim, and release the Corporation and the Employer from any such claim; if, notwithstanding the foregoing, any

6

such claim is allowed by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen, then, by participating in the Plan, I shall be deemed irrevocably to have agreed not to pursue such a claim and agree to execute any and all documents necessary to request dismissal or withdrawal of such claims.

• The future value of the underlying shares is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty. If the underlying shares do not increase in value, the option will have no value. If I exercise this option and obtain shares, the value of those shares acquired upon exercise may increase or decrease in value, even below the option price.

• Regardless of any action the Corporation or the Employer take with respect to any or all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related withholding related to my participation in the Plan and legally applicable to me (“Tax-Related Items”), I acknowledge that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items is and remains my responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Corporation or the Employer. I further acknowledge that the Corporation and/or the Employer (1) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of this option, including, but not limited to, the grant, vesting or exercise of this option, the subsequent sale of shares acquired pursuant to such exercise and the receipt of any dividends; and (2) do not commit to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of this option to reduce or eliminate my liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Furthermore, if I have become subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction between the Grant Date and the date of any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, I acknowledge that the Corporation and/or the Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.

• Prior to the relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, I shall pay or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Corporation and/or the Employer to satisfy or account for all Tax-Related Items. In this regard, I authorize the Corporation or the Employer, or their respective agents, at their discretion, to satisfy the obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the following:

(1) withholding from my wages or other cash compensation paid to me by the Corporation and/or the Employer; or

(2) withholding from proceeds of the sale of shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of this option, either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Corporation (on my behalf, pursuant to this authorization); or

(3) withholding in shares to be issued upon exercise of this option.

• To avoid negative accounting treatment, the Corporation may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable minimum statutory withholding amounts or other applicable withholding rates. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in shares, I am deemed, for tax purposes, to have been issued the full number of shares subject to the portion of this option that is exercised, notwithstanding that a number of shares is held back solely for the purpose of paying Tax-Related Items due as a result of any aspect of my participation in the Plan.

7

• I shall pay to the Corporation or to the Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Corporation or the Employer may be required to withhold or account for as a result of my participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Corporation may refuse to honor the exercise or deliver shares to me if I fail to comply with my obligation in connection with the Tax-Related Items as described herein.

• The Corporation is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Corporation making any recommendations regarding my participation in the Plan, or my acquisition or sale of the underlying shares. I am hereby advised to consult with my own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding my participation in the Plan before taking any action related to the Plan.

• Data Privacy. I hereby explicitly and unambiguously consent to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of my personal data as described in this Agreement and any other this option grant materials by and among, as applicable, the Employer, the Corporation and its subsidiaries and Affiliates for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing my participation in the Plan.

I understand that the Corporation and the Employer may hold certain personal information about me, including, but not limited to, my name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any shares of stock or directorships held in the Corporation, details of all options or any other entitlement to shares of common stock awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in my favor, for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan (“Data”).

I understand that Data will be transferred to a broker, or such other stock plan service provider as may be selected by the Corporation in the future, which is assisting the Corporation with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan. I understand that the recipients of the Data may be located in the United States or elsewhere, and that the recipients’ country (e.g., the United States) may have different data privacy laws and protections than my country. I understand that I may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Data by contacting my local human resources representative. I authorize the Corporation, the broker and any other possible recipients which may assist the Corporation (presently or in the future) with implementing, administering and managing the Plan to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the sole purpose of implementing, administering and managing my participation in the Plan. I understand that Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage my participation in the Plan. I understand that I may, at any time, view Data, request additional information about the storage and processing of Data, require any necessary amendments to Data or refuse or withdraw the consents herein, in any case without cost, by contacting in writing my local human resources representative. I understand, however, that refusing or withdrawing my consent may affect my ability to participate in the Plan. For more information on the consequences of my refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent, I understand that I may contact my local human resources representative.

• My option may not be assigned, sold, encumbered, or in any way transferred or alienated.

8

• The Plan is governed by and subject to U.S. law. Interpretation of the Plan and my rights under the Plan will be governed by provisions of U.S. law. For purposes of litigating any dispute that arises under this grant or the Agreement, the parties hereby submit to and consent to the jurisdiction of the State of Delaware, U.S.A. and agree that such litigation shall be conducted in the federal courts for the United States for the Northern District of Texas, where this grant is made and/or to be performed.

• I understand that I am solely responsible for obtaining/providing whatever exchange control approvals, permits, licenses or notices, which may be necessary for me to exercise my option, acquire the shares or to hold or sell the shares subject to the option or restricted share unit award. Neither the Corporation nor its Affiliates will be responsible for obtaining such approvals, licenses or permits, or for making any such notices, nor will the Corporation or its Affiliates be liable for any fines or penalties I may incur for failure to obtain any required approvals, permits or licenses or to make any required notices.

• The provisions of this Award Agreement are severable and if one or more of the provisions of this Award Agreement shall be held invalid, illegal or otherwise unenforceable, in whole or in part, the remaining provisions shall nonetheless be binding and enforceable. To the extent that any provisions of this Award Agreement are held to be invalid or otherwise unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any be affected or impaired thereby and the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions shall be deemed null and void; however, to the extent permissible by law, any provisions which could be deemed null and void shall first be construed, interpreted or revised retroactively to permit this Award Agreement to be construed so as to foster the intent of this Award Agreement and the Plan.

• If I have received this Award Agreement or any other document related to the Plan translated into a language other than English and if the meaning of the translated version is different than the English version, the English version will control.

• Notwithstanding any provisions in this Award Agreement, this option shall be subject to any special terms and conditions set forth in Appendix A to this Award Agreement for my country. Moreover, if I relocate to one of the countries included in Appendix A, the special terms and conditions for such country will apply to me, to the extent the Corporation determines that the application of such terms and conditions is necessary or advisable in order to comply with local law or facilitate the administration of the Plan. Appendix A constitutes part of this Award Agreement.

• The Corporation reserves the right to impose other requirements on my participation in the Plan, on this option and on any shares acquired under the Plan, to the extent that the Corporation determines it is necessary or advisable in order to comply with local law or facilitate the administration of the Plan, and to require me to sign any additional agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing.

• The Corporation may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to current or future participation in the Plan by electronic means. I hereby consent to receive such documents by on-line delivery and agree to participate in the Plan through an on-line or electronic system established and maintained by the Corporation or a third-party designated by the Corporation.

It is the Employee’s responsibility to make sure that he or she complies with exchange control requirements in Chile when the value of his or her option exercise transaction is in excess of US$10,000, regardless of whether the Employee exercises his or her option through a cash exercise or cashless method of exercise.

13

If the Employee uses the cash exercise method to exercise this option and the Employee remits funds in excess of US$10,000 out of Chile, the remittance must be made through the Formal Exchange Market (i.e., a commercial bank or registered foreign exchange office). In such case, the Employee must provide to the bank or registered foreign exchange office certain information regarding the remittance of funds (e.g., destination, currency, amount, parties involved, etc.).

If the Employee exercises this option using a cashless exercise method and the aggregate value of the option price exceeds US$10,000, the Employee must sign Annex 1 of the Manual of Chapter XII of the Foreign Exchange Regulations and file it directly with the Central Bank within 10 days of the exercise date.

The Employee is not required to repatriate funds obtained from the sale of shares or the receipt of any dividends. However, if the Employee decides to repatriate such funds, the Employee must do so through the Formal Exchange Market if the amount of the funds exceeds US$10,000. In such case, the Employee must report the payment to a commercial bank or registered foreign exchange office receiving the funds.

If the Employee’s aggregate investments held outside of Chile exceeds US$5,000,000 (including the investments made under the Plan), the Employee must report the investments annually to the Central Bank. Annex 3.1 of Chapter XII of the Foreign Exchange Regulations must be used to file this report.

Please note that exchange control regulations in Chile are subject to change. The Employee should consult with his or her personal legal advisor regarding any exchange control obligations that the Employee may have prior to exercising this option or receiving proceeds from the sale of shares of common stock acquired under the Plan.

Annual Tax Reporting Obligation

The Chilean Internal Revenue Service (“CIRS”) requires all taxpayers to provide information annually regarding: (i) the taxes paid abroad, which they will use as a credit against Chilean income taxes, and (ii) the results of foreign investments. These annual reporting obligations must be complied with by submitting a sworn statement setting forth this information before March 15 of each year. The forms to be used to submit the sworn statement are Tax Form 1853 “Annual Sworn Statement Regarding Credits for Taxes Paid Abroad” and Tax Form 1851 “Annual Sworn Statement Regarding Investments Held Abroad.” If the Employee is not a Chilean citizen and has been a resident in Chile for less than three years, the Employee is exempt from the requirement to file Tax Form 1853. These statements must be submitted electronically through the CIRS website: www.sii.cl.

COLOMBIA

Exchange Control Information

Investments in assets located abroad (including shares of common stock) are subject to registration with the Bank of the Republic if the Employee’s aggregate investments held abroad (as of December 31 of the applicable calendar year) equal or exceed US$500,000.

If funds are remitted from Colombia through an authorized local financial institution, the authorized financial institution will automatically register the investment.

14

If the Employee does not remit funds through an authorized financial institution when exercising this option because a partial cashless exercise method is used (selling only enough shares of Stock to cover the grant price and any brokerage fees), then the Employee must register the investment himself or herself if the accumulated financial investments the Employee holds abroad at the year-end are equal to or exceed the equivalent of US$500,000. The Employee must register by filing a Form No. 11 and submitting it to Señores, Banco de la República, Atn: Jefe Sección Inversiones, Departamento de Cambios Internacionales, Carrera 7 No. 14 - 18, Bogotá, Colombia by June 30 of the following year.

If the Employee uses the cashless sell-all method of exercise, then no registration is required because no funds are remitted from Colombia and no shares are held abroad.

COSTA RICA

CZECH REPUBLIC

Exchange Control Information

The Czech National Bank may require the Employee to fulfill certain notification duties in relation to the acquisition of shares of common stock and the opening and maintenance of a foreign account.

It is the Employee’s responsibility to comply with any applicable Czech exchange control laws.

DENMARK

Exchange Control Information

If the Employee establishes an account holding shares or an account holding cash outside Denmark, he or she must report the account to the Danish Tax Administration. The form which should be used in this respect can be obtained from a local bank. (These obligations are separate from and in addition to the obligations described below.)

Securities/Tax Reporting Information

If the Employee holds shares of common stock acquired under the Plan in a brokerage account with a broker or bank outside Denmark, he or she is required to inform the Danish Tax Administration about the account. For this purpose, the Employee must file a Form V (Erklaering V) with the Danish Tax Administration. The Form V must be signed both by the Employee and by the applicable broker or bank where the account is held. By signing the Form V, the broker or bank undertakes to forward information to the Danish Tax Administration concerning the shares in the account without further request each year. By signing the Form V, the Employee authorizes the Danish Tax Administration to examine the account.

15

In addition, if the Employee opens a brokerage account (or a deposit account with a U.S. bank) for the purpose of holding cash outside Denmark, he or she is also required to inform the Danish Tax Administration about this account. To do so, the Employee must file a Form K (Erklaering K) with the Danish Tax Administration. The Form K must be signed both by the Employee and by the applicable broker or bank where the account is held. By signing the Form K, the broker/bank undertakes an obligation, without further request each year, to forward information to the Danish Tax Administration concerning the content of the account. By signing the Form K, the Employee authorizes the Danish Tax Administration to examine the account.

If the Employee uses the cashless method of exercise for this option, the Employee is not required to file a Form V because he or she will not hold any shares of common stock. However, if the Employee opens a deposit account with a foreign broker or bank to hold the cash proceeds, he or she is required to file a Form K as described above.

Data Privacy Notice and Consent.

This provision replaces in its entirety the data privacy in the Award Agreement:

The Employee understands that the Employer, the Corporation and any Affiliate hold certain personal information about him or her, including, but not limited to, the Employee’s name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any shares of common stock or directorships held in the Corporation or any Affiliate, details of all options, or any other entitlement to shares of common stock awarded, cancelled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in the Employee’s favor, for the exclusive purpose of implementing, managing and administering the Plan (“Data”). The Employee is aware that providing the Corporation with Data is necessary for the performance of the Plan and that his or her refusal to provide such Data would make it impossible for the Corporation to perform its contractual obligations and may affect the Employee’s ability to participate in the Plan.

The Controller of personal data processing is Kimberly-Clark Corporation with registered offices at 351 Phelps Drive, Irving, Texas 75038, United States of America, and, pursuant to Legislative Decree no. 196/2003, its representative in Italy is Kimberly-Clark s.r.l. at Via Della Rocca, 49, Torino, Italy.

The Employee understands that Data may be transferred to the Corporation or any of its Affiliates, or to any third parties assisting in the implementation, management and administration of the Plan, including any transfer required to a broker or other third party with whom shares of common stock acquired under the Plan or cash from the sale of such shares may be deposited. Furthermore, the recipients that may receive, possess, use, retain, and transfer such Data may be located in Italy or elsewhere, including outside the European Union, and the recipients’ country (e.g., the United States) may have different data privacy laws and protections than Italy.

The processing activity, including transfer of Data abroad, including outside of the European Economic Area, as herein specified and pursuant to applicable laws and regulations, does not require the Employee’s consent thereto as the processing is necessary to performance of contractual obligations related to implementation, administration, and management of the Plan. The Employee understands that Data processing related to the purposes specified above shall take place under automated or non-automated conditions, anonymously when possible, that comply with the purposes for which Data is collected and with confidentiality and security provisions as set forth by applicable laws and regulations, with specific reference to Legislative Decree no. 196/2003.

The Employee understands that Data will be held only as long as is required by law or as necessary to implement, administer and manage the Employee’s participation in the Plan. The Employee understands that, pursuant to Section 7 of the Legislative Decree no. 196/2003, he or she has the right to, including but not limited to, access, delete, update, correct, or terminate, for legitimate reason, the Data processing. Furthermore, the Employee is aware that Data will not be used for direct marketing purposes. In addition, Data provided can be reviewed and questions or complaints can be addressed by contacting the Employee’s local human resources representative.

Plan Document Acknowledgment

In accepting the grant of this option, the Employee acknowledges that he or she has received a copy of the Plan and the Award Agreement and has reviewed the Plan and the Award Agreement, including this Appendix A, in their entirety and fully understands and accepts all provisions of the Plan and the Award Agreement, including this Appendix A.

The Employee acknowledges that he or she has read and specifically and expressly approves the following sections of the Award Agreement: Section 2(d) on Payment of Withholding Taxes; Section 5 on No Right of Continued Employment; Section 9 on Delaware Law to Govern; the section on Acknowledgment of Conditions; and the Data Privacy Notice and Consent section included in this Appendix A.

The Employee is exempt from the formalities in (a) if the investments are made through an authorized broker resident in Italy, as the broker will comply with the reporting obligation on the Employee’s behalf.

JAPAN

Exchange Control Information

If the Employee acquires shares of common stock valued at more than ¥100,000,000 in a single transaction, the Employee must file a Securities Acquisition Report with the Ministry of Finance through the Bank of Japan within 20 days of the purchase of the shares.

In addition, if the Employee pays more than ¥30,000,000 in a single transaction for the purchase of shares when the Employee exercises this option, the Employee must file a Payment Report with the Ministry of Finance through the Bank of Japan by the 20th day of the month following the month in which the payment was made. The precise reporting requirements vary depending on whether or not the relevant payment is made through a bank in Japan.

A Payment Report is required independently from a Securities Acquisition Report. Therefore, if the total amount that the Employee pays upon a one-time transaction for exercising this option and purchasing shares of common stock exceeds ¥100,000,000, then the Employee must file both a Payment Report and a Securities Acquisition Report.

20

KOREA

Exchange Control Information

To remit funds out of Korea to exercise this option by paying the option price in cash, the Employee must obtain a confirmation of the remittance by a foreign exchange bank in Korea. This is an automatic procedure (i.e., the bank does not need to approve the remittance and the process should not take more than a day). The Employee likely will need to present supporting documentation evidencing the nature of the remittance to the bank processing the transaction. Furthermore, if the Employee receives US$500,000 or more from the sale of shares of common stock, Korean exchange control laws require the Employee to repatriate the proceeds to Korea within 18 months of the sale.

MALAYSIA

Insider Trading Notification

The Employee should be aware of the Malaysian insider trading rules, which may impact the Employee’s acquisition or disposal of shares of common stock or this option under the Plan. Under Malaysian insider trading rules, the Employee is prohibited from acquiring or selling shares of common stock or rights to shares (e.g., an option) when in possession of information that is not generally available and that the Employee knows or should know will have a material effect on the price of shares of common stock once such information is generally available.

If the Employee is a director of the Corporation’s Malaysian Affiliate, the Employee is subject to certain notification requirements under the Malaysian Companies Act. Among these requirements is an obligation to notify the Malaysian Affiliate in writing when the Employee receives or disposes of an interest (e.g., an option or shares of common stock) in the Corporation or any related company. Such notifications must be made within 14 days of receiving or disposing of any interest in the Corporation or any related company.

(2) The Plan and the Employee’s participation in the Plan are offered by the Corporation on a wholly discretionary basis.

(3) The Employee’s participation in the Plan is voluntary.

Labor Law Acknowledgment and Policy Statement

In accepting the grant of this option, the Employee expressly recognizes that Kimberly-Clark Corporation, with registered offices at 351 Phelps Drive, Irving, Texas 75038, U.S.A., is solely responsible for the administration of the Plan and that the Employee’s participation in the Plan and acquisition of shares of common stock do not constitute an employment relationship between the Employee and the Corporation since the Employee is participating in the Plan on a wholly commercial basis and his or her sole Employer is Kimberly-Clark de Mexico, S.A. de C.V. (“KCC-Mexico”). Based on the foregoing, the Employee expressly recognizes that the Plan and the benefits that he or she may derive from participating in the Plan do not establish any rights between the Employee and the Employer, KCC-Mexico and do not form part of the employment conditions and/or benefits provided by KCC-Mexico, and any modification of the Plan or its termination shall not constitute a change or impairment of the terms and conditions of the Employee’s employment.

The Employee further understands that his or her participation in the Plan is as a result of a unilateral and discretionary decision of the Corporation; therefore, the Corporation reserves the absolute right to amend and/or discontinue the Employee’s participation at any time without any liability to the Employee.

Finally, the Employee hereby declares that he or she does not reserve to himself or herself any action or right to bring any claim against Kimberly-Clark Corporation for any compensation or damages regarding any provision of the Plan or the benefits derived under the Plan, and the Employee therefore grants a full and broad release to the Corporation, its shareholders, officers, agents, or legal representatives or Affiliates with respect to any claim that may arise.

NETHERLANDS

Consent to Comply with Dutch Securities Law

The Employee has been granted this option under the Plan, pursuant to which the Employee may acquire shares of common stock. Employees who are residents of the Netherlands should be aware of the Dutch insider trading rules, which may impact the sale of such shares. In particular, the Employee may be prohibited from effectuating certain share transactions if the Employee has insider information regarding the Corporation.

Below is a discussion of the applicable restrictions. The Employee is advised to read the discussion carefully to determine whether the insider rules apply to the Employee. If it is uncertain whether the insider rules apply, the Corporation recommends that the Employee consult with his or her personal legal advisor. Please note that the Corporation cannot be held liable if the Employee violates the Dutch insider rules. The Employee is responsible for ensuring compliance with these rules.

23

By entering into the Award Agreement and participating in the Plan, the Employee acknowledges having read and understood the notification below and acknowledges that it is his or her own responsibility to comply with the Dutch insider trading rules, as discussed herein.

Prohibition Against Insider Trading

Dutch securities laws prohibit insider trading. Under Article 46 of the Act on the Supervision of the Securities Trade 1995, anyone who has “inside information” related to the Corporation is prohibited from effectuating a transaction in securities in or from the Netherlands. “Inside information” is knowledge of a detail concerning the issuer to which the securities relate that is not public and which, if published, would reasonably be expected to affect the share price, regardless of the actual effect on the price. The insider could be any employee of the Corporation or its Dutch Affiliate who has inside information as described above.

Given the broad scope of the definition of inside information, certain Employees of the Corporation working at its Dutch Affiliate may have inside information and thus, would be prohibited from effectuating a transaction in securities in the Netherlands at a time when he or she had such inside information.

25

Securities Law Notice

This Award Agreement, the Plan and all other materials the Employee may receive regarding participation in the Plan do not constitute advertising or an offering of securities in Russia. The issuance of shares of common stock under the Plan has not and will not be registered in Russia and hence the shares described in any Plan-related documents may not be offered or placed in public circulation in Russia.

Please note that, under the Russian law, the Employee is not permitted to sell the Corporation’s shares directly to other Russian individuals and the Employee is not permitted to bring share certificates into Russia.

SINGAPORE

Securities Law Information

This option is being granted pursuant to the “Qualifying Person” exemption under section 273(1)(f) of the Securities and Futures Act (Chapter 289, 2006 Ed.) (“SFA”). The Plan has not been lodged or registered as a prospectus with the Monetary Authority of Singapore. The Employee should note that this option is subject to section 257 of the SFA and the Employee will not be able to make (i) any subsequent sale of the shares of common stock in Singapore or (ii) any offer of such subsequent sale of the shares of common stock in Singapore, unless such sale or offer is made pursuant to the exemptions under Part XIII Division (1) Subdivision (4) (other than section 280) of the SFA (Chapter 289, 2006 Ed.).

Director Notification Obligation

If the Employee is a director, associate director or shadow director of the Corporation’s Singapore Affiliate, the Employee is subject to certain notification requirements under the Singapore Companies Act. Among these requirements is an obligation to notify the Corporation’s Singapore Affiliate in writing when the Employee receives an interest (e.g., an option or shares) in the Corporation or any Affiliate. In addition, the Employee must notify the Corporation’s Singapore Affiliate when he or she sells shares of the Corporation or of any Affiliate (including when the Employee sells shares acquired upon exercise of this option). These notifications must be made within two days of acquiring or disposing of any interest in the Corporation or any Affiliate. In addition, a notification of the Employee’s interests in the Corporation or any Affiliate must be made within two days of becoming a director.

SOUTH AFRICA

Exchange Control Information

To participate in the Plan, the Employee must comply with exchange control regulations and rulings (the “Exchange Control Regulations”) in South Africa. Currently, the Exchange Control Department of the South African Reserve Bank (“Exchange Control”) requires that approval be sought for the purchase of securities by South African residents pursuant to foreign share incentive schemes, such as the exercise of options under the Plan. The Corporation is in the process of obtaining such approval.

26

The Employee is subject to an overall offshore investment allowance of ZAR4,000,000. This is a cumulative allowance, and his or her ability to remit funds for the purchase of shares will be reduced if Employee’s foreign investment limit is utilized to make a transfer of funds offshore that is unrelated to the Plan. If he or she exercises this option with cash, the funds used to pay the option price may not be counted against the ZAR4,000,000 because of the approval from Exchange Control that the Corporation is seeking with respect to the Plan. If the option price is counted against the ZAR4,000,000 limit, the Employee may still transfer funds for the exercise of this option; however, the shares obtained from the exercise must be sold immediately and the full proceeds repatriated to South Africa.

If the Employee exercise this option using either the cashless sell-all exercise method or the cashless sell-to-cover method, it is not necessary to obtain a Tax Clearance Certificate (as described below) or a transfer of funds application form. In addition, under a cashless sell-to-cover method, the Employee may acquire and hold shares up to any amount, even in excess of ZAR4,000,000. The value of the shares acquired using a cashless sell-to-cover exercise method will not be counted against the ZAR4,000,000 limit. The sale proceeds of such shares may be held offshore and will not count against the investment limit.

Because the Exchange Control Regulations change frequently and without notice, the Employee understands that he or she should consult a legal advisor prior to the purchase or sale of shares under the Plan to ensure compliance with current regulations. The Employee understands that it is his or her responsibility to comply with South African exchange control laws, and neither the Corporation nor the Employer will be liable for any fines or penalties resulting from failure to comply with applicable laws.

Tax Acknowledgment

By accepting this option, the Employee agrees to notify the Employer of the amount of any gain realized upon exercise of this option. If the Employee fails to advise the Employer of the gain realized upon exercise, the Employee may be liable for a fine. The Employee will be responsible for paying any difference between the actual tax liability and the amount withheld.

If the Employee uses cash to exercise this option and purchase shares, rather than a cashless exercise method, the Employee must first obtain a “Tax Clearance Certificate (in Respect of Foreign Investment)” from the South African Reserve Service. The Employee must also complete a transfer of funds application form to transfer the funds. The Tax Clearance Certificate should be presented to a dealer of the Exchange Control Department of the South Africa Reserve Bank (it is likely that the Employee’s bank will qualify as such a dealer), together with a completed application form to transfer funds. No transfer of funds may be completed unless the original Tax Clearance Certificate bears the official stamp and signature of the Office of Receiver of Revenue of the South African Reserve Service.

SPAIN

Termination of Employment

For purposes of this option, a termination of employment includes a termination that is deemed an “unfair dismissal” or a “constructive dismissal.”

Labor Law Acknowledgment

By accepting this option, the Employee acknowledges that he or she understands and agrees to participation in the Plan and that he or she has received a copy of the Plan.

27

The Employee understands that the Corporation has unilaterally, gratuitously and discretionally decided to grant Options under the Plan to individuals who may be employees of the Corporation or its Affiliates throughout the world. The decision is a limited decision that is entered into upon the express assumption and condition that any grant will not economically or otherwise bind the Corporation or any of its Affiliates on an ongoing basis. Consequently, the Employee understands that any grant is given on the assumption and condition that it shall not become a part of any employment contract (either with the Corporation or any of its Affiliates) and shall not be considered a mandatory benefit, salary for any purposes (including severance compensation) or any other right whatsoever. Further, the Employee understands and freely accepts that there is no guarantee that any benefit whatsoever shall arise from any gratuitous and discretionary grant since the future value of this option and the underlying shares is unknown and unpredictable. In addition, the Employee understands that this grant would not be made but for the assumptions and conditions referred to above; thus, the Employee understands, acknowledges and freely accepts that should any or all of the assumptions be mistaken or should any of the conditions not be met for any reason, then this option shall be null and void.

Further, the Employee understands that this option is a conditional right. The Employee shall forfeit any unvested portion of this option upon termination of employment unless such termination is due to a Qualified Termination of Employment. In addition, if the Employee’s employment is terminated for any reason other than death, Retirement, or Total and Permanent Disability, this option shall be exercisable only to the extent provided in Section 2(a) of the Award Agreement. The terms of this paragraph apply even if the Employee is considered to be unfairly dismissed without good cause.

TURKEY

Exchange Control Information

Exchange control regulations require Turkish residents to purchase securities through financial intermediary institutions that are approved under the Capital Market Law (i.e., banks licensed in Turkey). Therefore, if the Employee exercises this option using a cash exercise method, the funds must be remitted through a bank or other financial institution licensed in Turkey. A wire transfer of funds by a Turkish bank will satisfy this requirement. This requirement does not apply to a cashless exercise, as no funds are remitted out of Turkey.

Tax Acknowledgment

The following information supplements the information regarding Tax-Related Items in the Acknowledgment of Conditions section of the Award Agreement:

If payment or withholding of the income tax due is not made within 90 days of the event giving rise to the Tax-Related Items or such other period specified in section 222(1)(c) of the U.K. Income Tax (Earnings and Pensions) Act 2003 (the “Due Date”), the amount of any uncollected Tax-Related Items shall constitute a loan owed by the Employee to the Employer, effective on the Due Date. The Employee agrees that the loan will bear interest at the then-current Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs official rate; it will be immediately due and repayable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Employee is an officer or executive director (as within the meaning of Section 13(k) of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), the terms of this provision will not apply to the Employee. In the event that the Employee is an officer or director, as defined above, and Tax-Related Items are not collected from or paid by the Employee by the Due Date, the amount of any uncollected Tax-Related Items may constitute a benefit to the Employee on which additional income tax and National Insurance Contributions may be payable. The Employee acknowledges the Corporation or the Employer may recover it at any time thereafter by any of the means referred to in the Award Agreement. The Employee authorizes the Corporation to withhold the transfer of any shares unless and until the loan is repaid in full.

KIMBERLY-CLARK CORPORATION

PERFORMANCE RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT

AWARD AGREEMENT

This Award, granted on                     , by Kimberly-Clark Corporation, a Delaware corporation (hereinafter called the “Corporation”), to                          (the “Participant”) is subject to the terms and conditions of the 2001 Equity Participation Plan (the “Plan”) and the Award Agreement, including any country-specific terms and conditions contained in Appendix A to this Award Agreement.

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, the Corporation has adopted the Plan to encourage those employees who materially contribute, by managerial, scientific or other innovative means, to the success of the Corporation or of an Affiliate, to acquire an ownership interest in the Corporation, thereby increasing their motivation for and interest in the Corporation’s or the Affiliate’s long-term success;

NOW, THEREFORE, it is agreed as follows:

1. Number of Share Units Granted. The Corporation hereby grants to the Participant Performance Restricted Stock Units (“PRSUs”) at the target level of              (the “Target Level”), subject to the terms, conditions and restrictions set forth herein and in the Plan, and the Corporation’s attainment of the Performance Goals established by the Committee as set forth on Appendix A-1. The actual number of PRSUs earned by the Participant at the end of the Restricted Period may range from 0 to 200% of the Target Level.

2. Transferability Restrictions.

(a) Restricted Period. During the Restricted Period, the Participant may not sell, assign, transfer, or otherwise dispose of, or mortgage, pledge or otherwise encumber the Award. Except as provided under paragraph 2, the Award, including any accrued dividend equivalents, shall be subject to forfeiture until the end of the Restricted Period. Participant becomes 100% vested in the number of PRSUs earned based on attainment of the Performance Goal at the end of the Restricted Period as approved and authorized by the Committee.

The Restricted Period shall begin on the date of the granting of this Award, and shall end on April 28, 2013. Holders of Awards shall have none of the rights of a shareholder with respect to such shares including, but not limited to, any right to receive dividends in cash or other property or other distribution or rights in respect of such shares except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, nor to vote such shares as the record owner thereof.

During each year in the Restricted Period, the Participant will not be paid dividend equivalents on the unvested PRSUs but the Participant will receive a credit equal to dividends declared on the Corporation’s Common Stock which will be reinvested in additional PRSUs at the then fair market value of the Corporation’s Common Stock on the date dividends are paid, and the additional PRSUs will be accumulated and paid if and when the PRSUs vest, based on the actual number of PRSUs that vest. In the case of dividends paid in property other than cash, the amount of the dividend shall be deemed to be the fair market value of the property at the time of the payment of the dividend, as determined in good faith by the Corporation. The Corporation shall not be required to segregate any cash or other property of the Corporation.

(b) Termination of Employment. Participant shall forfeit any unvested Award, including any accrued dividend equivalents, upon termination of employment unless such termination (i) is due to a Qualified Termination of Employment, or (ii) if more than six months after the Grant Date, due to death, Retirement, Total and Permanent Disability, or the shutdown or divestiture of a business unit. A termination of employment shall not be deemed to have occurred while a Participant is on military leave or other bona fide leave of absence if the period of such leave does not exceed six months, or if longer, so long as the Participant retains a right to reemployment with the Corporation or an Affiliate under an applicable statute or by contract. For purposes of this subparagraph, a leave of absence constitutes a bona fide leave of absence only if there is a reasonable expectation that the Participant will return to perform services for the Corporation or an Affiliate. If the period of leave exceeds six months and the Participant does not retain a right to reemployment under an applicable statute or by contract, the employment relationship is deemed to terminate on the first date immediately following such six-month period. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, where a leave of absence is due to any medically determinable physical or mental impairment that can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than six months, where such impairment causes the Participant to be unable to perform the duties of his or her position of employment or any substantially similar position of employment, a 29-month period of absence is substituted for such six-month period in determining whether a termination of employment shall be deemed to have occurred. A termination of employment with the Corporation or an Affiliate to accept immediate reemployment with the Corporation or an Affiliate likewise shall not be deemed to be a termination of employment for purposes of the Plan. A Participant who is classified as an intermittent employee shall be deemed to have a termination of employment for purposes of the Plan. Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, a termination of employment with respect to any Restricted Share Units that are required to meet the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and the regulations thereunder shall not be deemed to be a termination of employment for purposes of the Plan if it is anticipated that the level of bona fide services the Participant would perform after such date would continue at a rate equal to more than 20 percent of the average level of bona fide services performed over the immediately preceding 36-month period (or the full period of services to the Corporation or an Affiliate if the Participant has been providing such services less than 36 months).

2

(c) Death, Retirement, or Total and Permanent Disability. In the event that more than six months after the Grant Date the Participant’s termination of employment is due to death or Total and Permanent Disability, it shall result in pro rata vesting in the number of PRSUs earned. This pro rata vesting shall be determined based on the Target Level of PRSUs (including any accrued dividend equivalents accumulated pursuant to Section 2(a)) (1) prorated for the number of full months of employment during the Restricted Period prior to the Participant’s termination of employment, multiplied by (2) the Performance Goal percentage as approved and authorized by the Committee at the end of the Restricted Period. Any fractional share of the Company resulting from such a prorated award shall be rounded to the nearest whole share and shall be paid within 70 days following the end of the Restricted Period. In the event that more than six months after the Grant Date the Participant’s termination of employment is due to Retirement it shall result in 100% vesting in the number of PRSUs earned based on attainment of the Performance Goal at the end of the Restricted Period as approved and authorized by the Committee, and such Award shall be paid within 70 days following the end of the Restricted Period.

Notwithstanding this Section 2(c), if the Corporation receives an opinion of counsel that there has been a legal judgment and/or legal development in the Participant’s jurisdiction that would likely result in the favorable Retirement treatment that applies to the PRSUs under this Section 2(c) being deemed unlawful and/or discriminatory, then the Corporation will not apply the favorable Retirement treatment and PRSUs will be treated as they would under the rules that apply if the Participant’s employment with the Corporation or an Affiliate ends for any other reason, as applicable.

(d) Shutdown or Divestiture. In the event that more than six months after the Grant Date the Participant’s termination of employment is due to the shutdown or divestiture of the Corporation’s or its Affiliate’s business it shall result in pro rata vesting in the number of PRSUs earned. This pro rata vesting shall be determined based on the Target Level of PRSUs (including any accrued dividend equivalents accumulated pursuant to Section 2(a)) (1) prorated for the number of full years of employment during the Restricted Period prior to the Participant’s termination of employment, multiplied by (2) the Performance Goal percentage as approved and authorized by the Committee at the end of the Restricted Period. Any fractional share of the Company resulting from such a prorated award shall be rounded to the nearest whole share and shall be paid within 70 days following the end of the Restricted Period.

(e) Qualified Termination of Employment. In the event of a Qualified Termination of Employment all restrictions will lapse and the shares will become fully vested and the number of shares that shall be considered to vest shall be the greater of the Target Level or the number of shares which would have vested based on the attainment of the Performance Goal as of the end of the prior calendar year and shall be paid within 10 days following the last day of employment of the Participant with the Corporation. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the payment of an Award to a Key Employee who has separated from service due to a Qualified Termination of Employment shall be made at the earlier of the first day of the seventh month following the date of separation from service or the end of the Restricted Period. A Key Employee is any Participant who meets the definition of a specified employee as defined in Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder.

3

(f) Payment of Awards. The payment of the Award, including any accrued dividend equivalents accumulated pursuant to Section 2(a), shall be made in shares of Common Stock. Except as may otherwise be provided in subparagraph 2(e), the payment of an Award shall be made within 70 days following the end of the Restricted Period.

(g) Payment of Withholding Taxes. No shares of Common Stock, nor any cash payment, may be delivered under this Award, unless prior to or simultaneously with such issuance, the Participant or, in the event of his death, the person succeeding to his rights hereunder, shall pay to the Corporation such amount as the Corporation advises is required under applicable federal, state or local laws to withhold and pay over to governmental taxing authorities by reason of the delivery of such shares of Common Stock and any cash payment pursuant to this Award. The Corporation may, in its discretion, withhold payment of required withholding taxes with cash or shares of Common Stock which otherwise would be delivered following the date of vesting of the Award under this paragraph 2.

3. Nontransferability. Neither the Award nor the Participant’s right to receive payment for vested Awards may be assigned or transferred except upon the death of the Participant (i) by will, (ii) by the laws of descent and distribution or (iii) for Participants residing in the U.S., pursuant to a designation by the Participant of a beneficiary or beneficiaries, provided that no such designation shall be effective unless filed with the Committee prior to the death of such Participant.

4. Compliance with Law. No payment may be made under this Award, unless prior to the issuance thereof, the Corporation shall have received an opinion of counsel to the effect that this Award by the Corporation to the Participant will not constitute a violation of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. As a condition of this Award, the Participant shall, if requested by the Corporation, submit a written statement in form satisfactory to counsel for the Corporation, to the effect that any shares received under this Award shall be for investment and not with a view to the distribution thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Corporation shall have the right, in its discretion, to cause the certificates representing shares hereunder to be appropriately legended to refer to such undertaking or to any legal restrictions imposed upon the transferability thereof by reason of such undertaking.

The Award granted hereby is subject to the condition that if the listing, registration or qualification of the shares subject hereto on any securities exchange or under any state or federal law, or if the consent or approval of any regulatory body shall be necessary as a condition of, or in connection with, the granting of the Award or the delivery of shares thereunder, such shares may not be delivered unless and until such listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval shall have been effected or obtained. The Corporation agrees to use its best efforts to obtain any such requisite listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval.

4

The Participant is solely responsible for obtaining/providing whatever exchange control approvals, permits, licenses, or notices, which may be necessary for the Participant to hold the Award, or to receive any payment of cash or shares or to hold or sell the shares subject to the Award, if any. Neither the Corporation nor its Affiliates will be responsible for obtaining any such approvals, licenses or permits, or for making any such notices, nor will the Corporation or its Affiliates be liable for any fines or penalties the Participant may incur for failure to obtain any required approvals, permits or licenses or to make any required notices.

5. No Right of Continued Employment. The granting of this Award does not confer upon the Participant any legal right to be continued in the employ of the Corporation or its Affiliates, and the Corporation and its Affiliates reserve the right to discharge the Participant whenever the interest of the Corporation or its Affiliates may so require without liability to the Corporation or its Affiliates, the Board of Directors of the Corporation or its Affiliates, or the Committee, except as to any rights which may be expressly conferred on the Participant under this Award.

6. Discretion of the Corporation, Board of Directors and the Committee. Any decision made or action taken by the Corporation or by the Board of Directors of the Corporation or by the Committee arising out of or in connection with the construction, administration, interpretation and effect of this Award shall be within the absolute discretion of the Corporation, the Board of Directors of the Corporation or the Committee, as the case may be, and shall be conclusive and binding upon all persons.

7. Inalienability of Benefits and Interest. This Award and the rights and privileges conferred hereby shall not be subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance or charge, and any such attempted action shall be void and no such benefit or interest shall be in any manner liable for or subject to debts, contracts, liabilities, engagements, or torts of the Participant.

8. Delaware Law to Govern. The Plan is governed by and subject to the laws of the United States of America. All questions pertaining to the construction, interpretation, regulation, validity and effect of the provisions of this Award and any rights under the Plan shall be determined in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware.

9. Purchase of Common Stock. The Corporation and its Affiliates may, but shall not be required to, purchase shares of Common Stock of the Corporation for purposes of satisfying the requirements of this Award. The Corporation and its Affiliates shall have no obligation to retain and shall have the unlimited right to sell or otherwise deal with for their own account, any shares of Common Stock of the Corporation purchased for satisfying the requirements of this Award.

10. Notices. Any notice to be given to the Corporation under this Award shall be addressed to the Corporation in care of its Director of Compensation located at the World Headquarters, and any notice to be given to the Participant under the terms of this Award may be addressed to him at his address as it appears on the Corporation’s records, or at such other address as either party may hereafter designate in writing to the other. Any such notice shall be deemed to have been duly given if and when enclosed in a properly sealed envelope or wrapper addressed as aforesaid, registered and deposited, postage and registry fee prepaid, in a post office or branch post office regularly maintained by the United States Government.

11. Changes in Capitalization. In the event there are any changes in the Common Stock or the capitalization of the Corporation through a corporate transaction, such as any merger, any acquisition through the issuance of capital stock of the Corporation, any consolidation, any separation of the Corporation (including a spin-off or other distribution of stock of the Corporation), any reorganization of the Corporation (whether or not such reorganization comes within the definition of such term in section 368 of the Code), or any partial or complete liquidation by the Corporation, recapitalization, stock dividend, stock split or other change in the corporate structure, appropriate adjustments and changes shall be made by the Committee in (a) the number of shares subject to this Award, and (b) such other provisions of this Award as may be necessary and equitable to carry out the foregoing purposes.

12. Effect on Other Plans. All benefits under this Award shall constitute special compensation and shall not affect the level of benefits provided to or received by the Participant (or the Participant’s estate or beneficiaries) as part of any employee benefit plan of the Corporation or an Affiliate. This Award shall not be construed to affect in any way the Participant’s rights and obligations under any other plan maintained by the Corporation or an Affiliate on behalf of employees.

13. Discretionary Nature of Award. The grant of an Award is a one-time benefit and does not create any contractual or other right to receive a grant of Awards or benefits in lieu of Awards in the future. Future grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Corporation, including, but not limited to, the timing of any grant, the number of PRSUs and vesting provisions. The value of the Award is an extraordinary item of compensation outside the scope of the Participant’s employment contract, if any.

14. Data Privacy. The Participant hereby authorizes their employer to furnish the Corporation (and any agent of the Corporation administering the Plan or providing Plan recordkeeping services) with such information and data as it shall request in order to facilitate the grant of Awards and administration of the Plan and the Participant waives any data privacy rights such Participant might otherwise have with respect to such information.

15. Conflict with Plan. This Award is awarded pursuant to and subject to the Plan. This Agreement is intended to supplement and carry out the terms of the Plan. It is subject to all terms and provisions of the Plan and, in the event of a conflict, the Plan shall prevail.

17. Amendments. The Committee may at any time alter or amend this Award to the extent (1) permitted by law, (2) permitted by the rules of any stock exchange on which the Common Stock or any other security of the Corporation is listed, and (3) permitted under applicable provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (including rule 16b-3 thereof).

18. Defined Terms. Terms which are capitalized are defined herein or in the Plan and have the same meaning set forth in the Plan, unless the context indicates otherwise.

19. For U.S. Participants Only. A U.S. Participant who has not previously signed a noncompete agreement has until the end of the one hundred twenty (120) day period beginning from the Grant Date of this Award to sign and return the Noncompete Agreement provided to such Participant. If the U.S. Participant does not sign and return the provided Noncompete Agreement on or before the end of such one hundred twenty (120) day period then the grant of the Award, as set forth in Section 1, shall not be binding on and shall be voidable by the Corporation, in which case it shall have no further force or effect.

20. Acceptance of Award Terms and Conditions. A Participant has until the end of the one hundred twenty (120) day period beginning from the Grant Date of this Award to accept this Award Agreement.

Acknowledgment of Conditions

I understand, acknowledge and agree to the following conditions with respect to the Award granted to me under the Plan:

• The Plan is established voluntarily by the Corporation, is discretionary in nature and may be modified, amended, suspended, cancelled or terminated at any time. The grant of an Award is a voluntary and occasional benefit and does not create any contractual or other right to receive an Award or benefits in lieu of an Award in the future, even if the Awards have been granted repeatedly in the past. Future grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Corporation, including, but not limited to, the timing of any grant, the number of Awards, vesting provisions and the exercise price.

• My participation in the Plan is voluntary. Participation in the Plan will not create a right to further employment with my actual employer (the “Employer”) and shall not interfere with the ability of the Employer to terminate my employment relationship at any time. Further, the Award and my participation in the Plan will not be interpreted to form an employment contract or relationship with the Corporation or any Affiliate.

• The Award and the shares of Common Stock subject to the Award are extraordinary items that do not constitute compensation of any kind for services of any kind rendered to the Corporation or the Employer, and which are outside the scope of my employment contract, if any, and are not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation. As such, the Award is not part of normal or expected compensation for purposes of calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, dismissal, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension, retirement or welfare benefits or similar payments and in no event shall be considered as compensation for, or relating in any way to, past services for the Corporation, the Employer or any Affiliate.

• The future value of the underlying shares is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty.

7

• No claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of the Award resulting from termination of my employment by the Corporation or the Employer (for any reason whatsoever and whether or not in breach of local labor laws) and in consideration of the grant of the Award, to which I am otherwise not entitled, I irrevocably agree never to institute any claim against the Corporation or the Employer, waive my ability, if any, to bring any such claim, and release the Corporation and the Employer from any such claim; if, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is allowed by a court of competent jurisdiction, then, by participating in the Plan, I shall be deemed irrevocably to have agreed not to pursue such a claim and agree to execute any and all documents necessary to request dismissal or withdrawal of such claims.

• In the event of termination of my employment (whether or not in breach of local labor laws and except as otherwise explicitly provided in the Award Agreement of the Plan), my right to receive PRSUs and vest in the Award under the Plan, if any, will terminate effective as of the date that I am no longer actively employed and will not be extended by any notice period mandated under local law (e.g., active employment would not include a period of “garden leave” or similar period pursuant to local law); the Committee shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when I am no longer actively employed for purposes of the Award.

• The Corporation is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Corporation making any recommendations regarding participation in the Plan, or my acquisition or sale of the underlying shares of Common Stock. Further, I have been advised to consult with my own advisors regarding participation in the Plan before taking any action related to the Plan.

• Regardless of any action the Corporation or the Employer takes with respect to any or all income tax (including federal, state and local taxes), social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to my participation in the Plan and legally applicable to me (“Tax-Related Items”), I acknowledge that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items is and remains my responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Corporation or the Employer. I further acknowledge that the Corporation and/or the Employer (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Award, including the grant of the PRSUs, the vesting of PRSUs, the conversion of the PRSUs into shares or the receipt of an equivalent cash payment, the subsequent sale of any shares acquired at vesting and the receipt of any dividends or dividend equivalents; and (ii) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Award to reduce or eliminate the my liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if I have become subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction between the Grant Date and the date of any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, I acknowledge that the Corporation and/or the Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.

• Prior to the relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, I shall pay or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Corporation and/or the Employer to satisfy or account for all Tax-Related Items. In this regard, I authorize the Corporation or the Employer, or their respective agents, at their discretion, to satisfy the obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the following:

(1) withholding from my wages or other cash compensation paid to me by the Corporation and/or the Employer; or

8

(2) withholding from proceeds of the sale of shares acquired upon vesting of the Award either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Corporation (on my behalf, pursuant to this authorization); or

(3) withholding in shares to be issued upon vesting of the Award.

• To avoid negative accounting treatment, the Corporation may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable minimum statutory withholding amounts or other applicable withholding rates. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in shares, for tax purposes, I am deemed to have been issued the full number of shares subject to the Award, notwithstanding that a number of shares are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items due as a result of any aspect of my participation in the Plan.

• I shall pay to the Corporation or to the Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Corporation or the Employer may be required to withhold or account for as a result of my participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Corporation may refuse to deliver shares or the proceeds of the sale of shares to me if I fail to comply with my obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.

• I hereby explicitly and unambiguously consent to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of my personal data as described in this Award Agreement by and among, as applicable, my Employer, the Corporation, and its Affiliates for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing my participation in the Plan.

• I understand that the Corporation and my Employer may hold certain personal information about me, including, but not limited to, my name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any shares of Common Stock or directorships held in the Corporation, details of all Awards or any other entitlement to shares awarded, canceled, vested, unvested or outstanding in my favor, for the purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan (“Data”).

• I understand that Data may be transferred to any third parties assisting in the implementation, administration and management of the Plan, that these recipients may be located in my country, or elsewhere, and that my country may have different data privacy laws and protections than my country. I understand that I may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Data by contacting my local human resources representative. I authorize the recipients to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the purposes of implementing, administering and managing my participation in the Plan, including any requisite transfer of such Data as may be required to a broker, escrow agent or other third party with whom the shares received upon vesting of the PRSUs may be deposited. I understand that Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage my participation in the Plan. I understand that I may, at any time, view Data, request additional information about the storage and processing of Data, require any necessary amendments to Data or refuse or withdraw the consents herein, in any case without cost, by contacting in

9

writing my local human resources representative. I understand that refusal or withdrawal of consent may affect my ability to participate in the Plan. For more information on the consequences of my refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent, I understand that I may contact my local human resources representative.

• The Plan and the Award are governed by and subject to U.S. law. Interpretation of the Plan and my rights under the Plan will be governed by provisions of U.S. law. For purposes of litigating any dispute that arises under this Award or Award Agreement, the parties submit to and consent to the jurisdiction of the State of Delaware, and agree that such litigation shall be conducted in the federal courts for the United States for the Northern District of Texas and no other courts.

• I understand that I am solely responsible for obtaining/providing whatever exchange control approvals, permits, licenses or notices, which may be necessary for my Award, to acquire the shares or to hold or sell the shares subject to the PRSU award. Neither the Corporation nor its Affiliates will be responsible for obtaining such approvals, licenses or permits, or for making any such notices, nor will the Corporation or its Affiliates be liable for any fines or penalties I may incur for failure to obtain any required approvals, permits or licenses or to make any required notices.

• The provisions of this Award Agreement are severable and if one or more of the provisions of this Award Agreement shall be held invalid, illegal or otherwise unenforceable, in whole or in part, the remaining provisions shall nonetheless be binding and enforceable. To the extent that any provisions of this Award Agreement are held to be invalid or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions shall be deemed null and void; however, to the extent permissible by law, any provisions which could be deemed null and void shall first be construed, interpreted or revised retroactively to permit this Award Agreement to be construed so as to foster the intent of this Award Agreement and the Plan.

• If I have received this Award Agreement or any other document related to the Plan translated into a language other than English and if the meaning of the translated version is different than the English version, the English version will control.

NETHERLANDS

Consent to Comply with Dutch Securities Law

The Participant has been granted Awards under the Plan, pursuant to which the Participant may acquire shares. Participants who are residents of the Netherlands should be aware of the Dutch insider trading rules, which may impact the sale of such shares. In particular, the Participant may be prohibited from effecting certain share transactions if the Participant has insider information regarding the Corporation.

Below is a discussion of the applicable restrictions. The Participant is advised to read the discussion carefully to determine whether the insider rules apply to the Participant. If it is uncertain whether the insider rules apply, the Corporation recommends that the Participant consult with his or her personal legal advisor. Please note that the Corporation cannot be held liable if the Participant violates the Dutch insider rules. The Participant is responsible for ensuring compliance with these rules.

23

By entering into the Award Agreement and participating in the Plan, the Participant acknowledges having read and understood the notification below and acknowledges that it is his or her own responsibility to comply with the Dutch insider trading rules, as discussed herein.

Prohibition Against Insider Trading

Dutch securities laws prohibit insider trading. Under Article 46 of the Act on the Supervision of the Securities Trade 1995, anyone who has “inside information” related to the Corporation is prohibited from effectuating a transaction in securities in or from the Netherlands. “Inside information” is knowledge of a detail concerning the issuer to which the securities relate that is not public and which, if published, would reasonably be expected to affect the share price, regardless of the actual effect on the price. The insider could be any employee of the Corporation or its Dutch Affiliate who has inside information as described above.

Given the broad scope of the definition of inside information, certain employees of the Corporation working at its Dutch Affiliate may have inside information and thus, would be prohibited from effectuating a transaction in securities in the Netherlands at a time when he or she had such inside information.

The Corporation is in the process of obtaining such approval.

Because the Exchange Control Regulations change frequently and without notice, the Participant understands that he or she should consult a legal advisor prior to the acquisition or sale of shares under the Plan to ensure compliance with current regulations. The Participant understands that it is his or her responsibility to comply with South African exchange control laws, and neither the Corporation nor the Employer will be liable for any fines or penalties resulting from failure to comply with applicable laws.

Tax Acknowledgment

By accepting the Award, the Participant agrees to notify the Employer of the amount of any gain realized upon vesting of the Award.

SPAIN

Termination of Employment

For purposes of this Award, a termination of employment includes a termination that is deemed an “unfair dismissal” or a “constructive dismissal.”

Labor Law Acknowledgment

By accepting the Award, the Participant acknowledges that he or she understands and agrees to participation in the Plan and that he or she has received a copy of the Plan.

The Participant understands that the Corporation has unilaterally, gratuitously and discretionally decided to grant Awards under the Plan to individuals who may be employees of the Corporation or its Affiliates throughout the world. The decision is a limited decision that is entered into upon the express assumption and condition that any grant will not economically or otherwise bind the Corporation or any of its Affiliates on an ongoing basis. Consequently, the Participant understands that any grant is given on the assumption and condition that it shall not become a part of any employment contract (either with the Corporation or any of its Affiliates) and shall not be considered a mandatory benefit, salary for any purposes (including severance compensation) or any other right whatsoever. Further, the Participant understands and freely accepts that there is no guarantee that any benefit whatsoever shall arise from any gratuitous and discretionary grant since the future value of the Award and the underlying shares is unknown and unpredictable. In addition, the Participant understands that this grant would not be made but for the assumptions and conditions referred to above; thus, the Participant understands, acknowledges and freely accepts that should any or all of the assumptions be mistaken or should any of the conditions not be met for any reason, then the Award shall be null and void.

Further, the Participant understands that the Award is a conditional right. Participant shall forfeit any unvested Award upon termination of employment unless such termination is (i) due to a Qualified Termination of Employment, or (ii) if more than six months after the Grant Date, due to death, Retirement, Total and Permanent Disability, or the shutdown or divestiture of a business unit. The terms of this paragraph apply even if the Participant is considered to be unfairly dismissed without good cause.

Tax Acknowledgment

The following information supplements the information regarding Tax-Related Items in the Acknowledgment of Conditions section of the Award Agreement:

If payment or withholding of the income tax due is not made within 90 days of the event giving rise to the Tax-Related Items or such other period specified in section 222(1)(c) of the U.K. Income Tax (Earnings and Pensions) Act 2003 (the “Due Date”), the amount of any uncollected Tax-Related Items shall constitute a loan owed by the Participant to the Employer, effective on the Due Date. The Participant agrees that the loan will bear interest at the then-current Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs official rate; it will be immediately due and repayable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Participant is an officer or executive director (as within the meaning of Section 13(k) of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), the terms of this provision will not apply to the Participant. In the event that the Participant is an officer or director, as defined above, and Tax-Related Items are not collected from or paid by the Participant by the Due Date, the amount of any uncollected Tax-Related Items may constitute a benefit to the Participant on which additional income tax and National Insurance Contributions may be payable. The Participant acknowledges the Corporation or the Employer may recover it at any time thereafter by any of the means referred to in the Award Agreement. The Participant authorizes the Corporation to withhold the transfer of any shares unless and until the loan is repaid in full.

KIMBERLY-CLARK CORPORATION

TIME-VESTED RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT

AWARD AGREEMENT

This Award, granted on                     ,             , by Kimberly-Clark Corporation, a Delaware corporation (hereinafter called the “Corporation”), to                      (the “Participant) is subject to the terms and conditions of the 2001 Equity Participation Plan (the “Plan”) and this Award Agreement, including any country-specific terms and conditions contained in Appendix A to this Award Agreement.

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, the Corporation has adopted the Plan to encourage those employees who materially contribute, by managerial, scientific or other innovative means, to the success of the Corporation or of an Affiliate, to acquire an ownership interest in the Corporation, thereby increasing their motivation for and interest in the Corporation’s or the Affiliate’s long-term success;

NOW, THEREFORE, it is agreed as follows:

1. Number of Share Units Granted. The Corporation hereby grants to the Participant the right to receive all or any part of                      Time-Vested Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”) of the $1.25 par value Common Stock of the Corporation, subject to the terms, conditions and restrictions set forth herein and in the Plan.

2. Transferability Restrictions.

(a) Restricted Period. During the Restricted Period, the Participant may not sell, assign, transfer, or otherwise dispose of, or mortgage, pledge or otherwise encumber the Award. The RSUs, including any accrued dividend equivalents, shall be subject to forfeiture until the Participant becomes vested in such Awards on the date that was approved on the Grant Date and as reflected on the Merrill Lynch Benefits OnLine site, or any successor system, via the Grant Summary screen as the Future Lapsing table.

The Restricted Period shall begin on the date of the granting of this Award, and shall end upon the vesting of the Award according to the schedule set forth above. Holders of Awards shall have none of the rights of a shareholder with respect to such shares including, but not limited to, any right to receive dividends in cash or other property or other distribution or rights in respect of such shares except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, nor to vote such shares as the record owner thereof.

During each year in the Restricted Period, the Participant will not be paid dividend equivalents on the unvested RSUs but the Participant will receive a credit equal to dividends declared on the Corporation’s Common Stock which will be reinvested in additional RSUs at the then fair market value of the Corporation’s Common Stock on the date dividends are paid, and the additional

RSUs will be accumulated and paid if and when the RSUs vest, based on the actual number of RSUs that vest. In the case of dividends paid in property other than cash, the amount of the dividend shall be deemed to be the fair market value of the property at the time of the payment of the dividend, as determined in good faith by the Corporation. The Corporation shall not be required to segregate any cash or other property of the Corporation.

(b) Termination of Employment. Participant shall forfeit any unvested Award, including any accrued dividend equivalents, upon termination of employment unless such termination is (i) due to a Qualified Termination of Employment, or (ii) due to death, Total and Permanent Disability, or the shutdown or divestiture of a business unit. An authorized leave of absence shall not be deemed to be a termination of employment if the period of such leave does not exceed six months, or if longer, so long as the Participant retains a right to reemployment with the Corporation or an Affiliate under an applicable statute or by contract. For purposes of this subparagraph, a leave of absence constitutes a bona fide leave of absence only if there is a reasonable expectation that the Participant will return to perform services for the Corporation or an Affiliate. If the period of leave exceeds six months and the Participant does not retain a right to reemployment under an applicable statute or by contract, the employment relationship is deemed to terminate on the first date immediately following such six-month period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, where a leave of absence is due to any medically determinable physical or mental impairment that can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than six months, where such impairment causes the Participant to be unable to perform the duties of his or her position of employment or any substantially similar position of employment, a 29-month period of absence is substituted for such six-month period in determining whether a termination of employment shall be deemed to have occurred. A termination of employment with the Corporation or an Affiliate to accept immediate reemployment with the Corporation or an Affiliate likewise shall not be deemed to be a termination of employment if the level of bona fide services the Participant would perform after such date would permanently decrease to no more than 20 percent of the average level of bona fide services performed over the immediately preceding 36-month period (or the full period of services to the Corporation or an Affiliate if the Participant has been providing such services less than 36 months). A Participant who is classified as an intermittent employee shall be deemed to have a termination of employment for purposes of the Plan if the level of bona fide services the Participant would perform after such date would permanently decrease to less than 50 percent of the average level of bona fide services performed over the immediately preceding 36-month period (or the full period of services to the Corporation or an Affiliate if the Participant has been providing such services less than 36 months).

(c) Death or Total and Permanent Disability. If the Participant’s termination of employment is due to death or Total and Permanent Disability, it shall result in pro rata vesting, as determined by the Committee, and the number of shares that are considered to vest shall be prorated for the number of full months of employment during the Restricted Period prior to the Participant’s termination of employment, and shall be paid 90 days following the Participant’s termination of employment.

2

(d) Shutdown or Divestiture. In the event that after the Grant Date the Participant’s termination of employment is due to the shutdown or divestiture of the Corporation’s or its Affiliate’s business, it shall result in pro rata vesting, as determined by the Committee, and the number of shares that are considered to vest shall be determined at the end of the Restricted Period, prorated for the number of full years of employment during the Restricted Period prior to the Participant’s termination of employment, and shall be paid within 90 days following the end of the Restricted Period.

(e) Qualified Termination of Employment. In the event of a Qualified Termination of Employment all restrictions will lapse and the shares will become fully vested and shall be paid within 10 days following the last day of employment of the Participant with the Corporation or an Affiliate.

(f) Payment of Awards. The payment of the Award shall be made in shares of Common Stock. The payment of an Award shall be made within 90 days following the end of the Restricted Period.

(g) Payment of Withholding Taxes. No shares of Common Stock, nor any cash payment, may be delivered under this Award, unless prior to or simultaneously with such issuance, the Participant or, in the event of his death, the person succeeding to his rights hereunder, shall pay to the Corporation such amount as the Corporation advises is required under applicable federal, state or local laws to withhold and pay over to governmental taxing authorities by reason of the delivery of such shares of Common Stock and any cash payment pursuant to this Award. The Corporation may, in its discretion, withhold payment of required withholding taxes with cash or shares of Common Stock which otherwise would be delivered following the date of vesting of the Award under this paragraph 2.

3. Nontransferability. Neither the Award nor the Participant’s right to receive payment for vested Awards may be assigned or transferred except upon the death of the Participant (i) by will, (ii) by the laws of descent and distribution or (iii) for Participants residing in the U.S. pursuant to a designation by the Participant of a beneficiary or beneficiaries, provided that no such designation shall be effective unless filed with the Committee prior to the death of such Participant.

4. Compliance with Law. No payment may be made under this Award, unless prior to the issuance thereof, the Corporation shall have received an opinion of counsel to the effect that this Award by the Corporation to the Participant will not constitute a violation of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. As a condition of this Award, the Participant shall, if requested by the Corporation, submit a written statement in form satisfactory to counsel for the Corporation, to the effect that any shares received under this Award shall be for investment and not with a view to the distribution thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Corporation shall have the right, in its discretion, to cause the certificates representing shares hereunder to be appropriately legended to refer to such undertaking or to any legal restrictions imposed upon the transferability thereof by reason of such undertaking.

3

The Award granted hereby is subject to the condition that if the listing, registration or qualification of the shares subject hereto on any securities exchange or under any state or federal law, or if the consent or approval of any regulatory body shall be necessary as a condition of, or in connection with, the granting of the Award or the delivery of shares thereunder, such shares may not be delivered unless and until such listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval shall have been effected or obtained. The Corporation agrees to use its best efforts to obtain any such requisite listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval.

The Participant is solely responsible for obtaining/providing whatever exchange control approvals, permits, licenses, or notices, which may be necessary for the Participant to hold the Award, or to receive any payment of cash or shares or to hold or sell the shares subject to the Award, if any. Neither the Corporation nor its Affiliates will be responsible for obtaining any such approvals, licenses or permits, or for making any such notices, nor will the Corporation or its Affiliates be liable for any fines or penalties the Participant may incur for failure to obtain any required approvals, permits or licenses or to make any required notices.

5. No Right of Continued Employment. The granting of this Award does not confer upon the Participant any legal right to be continued in the employ of the Corporation or its Affiliates, and the Corporation and its Affiliates reserve the right to discharge the Participant whenever the interest of the Corporation or its Affiliates may so require without liability to the Corporation or its Affiliates, the Board of Directors of the Corporation or its Affiliates, or the Committee, except as to any rights which may be expressly conferred on the Participant under this Award.

6. Discretion of the Corporation, Board of Directors and the Committee. Any decision made or action taken by the Corporation or by the Board of Directors of the Corporation or by the Committee arising out of or in connection with the construction, administration, interpretation and effect of this Award shall be within the absolute discretion of the Corporation, the Board of Directors of the Corporation or the Committee, as the case may be, and shall be conclusive and binding upon all persons.

7. Inalienability of Benefits and Interest. This Award and the rights and privileges conferred hereby shall not be subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance or charge, and any such attempted action shall be void and no such benefit or interest shall be in any manner liable for or subject to debts, contracts, liabilities, engagements, or torts of the Participant.

8. Delaware Law to Govern. The Plan is governed by and subject to the laws of the United States of America. All questions pertaining to the construction, interpretation, regulation, validity and effect of the provisions of this Award and any rights under the Plan shall be determined in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware.

9. Purchase of Common Stock. The Corporation and its Affiliates may, but shall not be required to, purchase shares of Common Stock of the Corporation for purposes of satisfying the requirements of this Award. The Corporation and its Affiliates shall have no obligation to retain and shall have the unlimited right to sell or otherwise deal with for their own account, any shares of Common Stock of the Corporation purchased for satisfying the requirements of this Award.

10. Notices. Any notice to be given to the Corporation under this Award shall be addressed to the Corporation in care of its Director of Compensation located at the World Headquarters, and any notice to be given to the Participant under the terms of this Award may be addressed to him at his address as it appears on the Corporation’s

4

records, or at such other address as either party may hereafter designate in writing to the other. Any such notice shall be deemed to have been duly given if and when enclosed in a properly sealed envelope or wrapper addressed as aforesaid, registered and deposited, postage and registry fee prepaid, in a post office or branch post office regularly maintained by the United States Government or by a foreign government.

11. Changes in Capitalization. In the event there are any changes in the Common Stock or the capitalization of the Corporation through a corporate transaction, such as any merger, any acquisition through the issuance of capital stock of the Corporation, any consolidation, any separation of the Corporation (including a spin-off or other distribution of stock of the Corporation), any reorganization of the Corporation (whether or not such reorganization comes within the definition of such term in section 368 of the Code), or any partial or complete liquidation by the Corporation, recapitalization, stock dividend, stock split or other change in the corporate structure, appropriate adjustments and changes shall be made by the Committee in (a) the number of shares subject to this Award, and (b) such other provisions of this Award as may be necessary and equitable to carry out the foregoing purposes.

12. Effect on Other Plans. All benefits under this Award shall constitute special compensation and shall not affect the level of benefits provided to or received by the Participant (or the Participant’s estate or beneficiaries) as part of any employee benefit plan of the Corporation or an Affiliate. This Award shall not be construed to affect in any way the Participant’s rights and obligations under any other plan maintained by the Corporation or an Affiliate on behalf of employees.

13. Discretionary Nature of Award. The grant of an Award is a one-time benefit and does not create any contractual or other right to receive a grant of Awards or benefits in lieu of Awards in the future. Future grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Corporation, including, but not limited to, the timing of any grant, the number of RSUs and vesting provisions. The value of the Award is an extraordinary item of compensation outside the scope of the Participant’s employment contract, if any. As such, the Award is not part of normal or expected compensation for purposes of calculating any severance, resignation, redundancy, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits or similar payments.

14. Data Privacy. The Participant hereby authorizes their employer to furnish the Corporation (and any agent of the Corporation administering the Plan or providing Plan recordkeeping services) with such information and data as it shall request in order to facilitate the grant of Awards and administration of the Plan and the Participant waives any data privacy rights such Participant might otherwise have with respect to such information.

15. Conflict with Plan. This Award is awarded pursuant to and subject to the Plan. This Agreement is intended to supplement and carry out the terms of the Plan. It is subject to all terms and provisions of the Plan and, in the event of a conflict, the Plan shall prevail.

16. Successors. This Award shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of any successor or successors of the Corporation.

5

17. Amendments. The Committee may at any time alter or amend this Award to the extent (1) permitted by law, (2) permitted by the rules of any stock exchange on which the Common Stock or any other security of the Corporation is listed, and (3) permitted under applicable provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (including rule 16b-3 thereof).

18. Defined Terms. Terms which are capitalized are defined herein or in the Plan and have the same meaning set forth in the Plan, unless the context indicates otherwise.

19. For U.S. Participants Only. A U.S. Participant who has not previously signed a noncompete agreement has until the end of the one hundred twenty (120) day period beginning from the Grant Date of this Award to sign and return the Noncompete Agreement provided to such Participant. If the U.S. Participant does not sign and return the provided Noncompete Agreement on or before the end of such one hundred twenty (120) day period then the grant of the Award, as set forth in Section 1, shall not be binding on and shall be voidable by the Corporation, in which case it shall have no further force or effect.

20. Acceptance of Award Terms and Conditions. A Participant has until the end of the one hundred twenty (120) day period beginning from the Grant Date of this Award to accept this Award Agreement. If the Participant does not accept this Award Agreement on or before the end of such one hundred twenty (120) day period then the grant of the Award, as set forth in Section 1, shall not be binding on and shall be voidable by the Corporation, in which case it shall have no further force or effect.

Acknowledgment of Conditions

I understand, acknowledge and agree to the following conditions with respect to the Award granted to me under the Plan:

• The Plan is established voluntarily by the Corporation, is discretionary in nature and may be modified, amended, suspended, cancelled or terminated at any time. The grant of an Award is a voluntary and occasional benefit and does not create any contractual or other right to receive an Award or benefits in lieu of an Award in the future, even if the Awards have been granted repeatedly in the past. Future grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Corporation, including, but not limited to, the timing of any grant, the number of Awards, vesting provisions and the exercise price.

• My participation in the Plan is voluntary. Participation in the Plan will not create a right to further employment with my actual employer (the “Employer”) and shall not interfere with the ability of the Employer to terminate my employment relationship at any time. Further, the Award and my participation in the Plan will not be interpreted to form an employment contract or relationship with the Corporation or any Affiliate.

• The Award and the shares of Common Stock subject to the Award are extraordinary items that do not constitute compensation of any kind for services of any kind rendered to the Corporation or the Employer, and which are outside the scope of my employment contract, if any, and are not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation. As such, the Award is not part of normal or expected compensation for purposes of calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, dismissal, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension, retirement or welfare benefits or similar payments and in no event shall be considered as compensation for, or relating in any way to, past services for the Corporation, the Employer or any Affiliate.

6

• The future value of the underlying shares is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty.

• No claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of the Award resulting from termination of my employment by the Corporation or the Employer (for any reason whatsoever and whether or not in breach of local labor laws) and in consideration of the grant of the Award, to which I am otherwise not entitled, I irrevocably agree never to institute any claim against the Corporation or the Employer, waive my ability, if any, to bring any such claim, and release the Corporation and the Employer from any such claim; if, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is allowed by a court of competent jurisdiction, then, by participating in the Plan, I shall be deemed irrevocably to have agreed not to pursue such a claim and agree to execute any and all documents necessary to request dismissal or withdrawal of such claims.

• In the event of termination of my employment (whether or not in breach of local labor laws and except as otherwise explicitly provided in the Award Agreement of the Plan), my right to receive RSUs and vest in the Award under the Plan, if any, will terminate effective as of the date that I am no longer actively employed and will not be extended by any notice period mandated under local law (e.g., active employment would not include a period of “garden leave” or similar period pursuant to local law); the Committee shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when I am no longer actively employed for purposes of the Award.

• The Corporation is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Corporation making any recommendations regarding participation in the Plan, or my acquisition or sale of the underlying shares of Common Stock. Further, I have been advised to consult with my own advisors regarding participation in the Plan before taking any action related to the Plan.

• Regardless of any action the Corporation or the Employer takes with respect to any or all income tax (including federal, state and local taxes), social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to my participation in the Plan and legally applicable to me (“Tax-Related Items”), I acknowledge that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items is and remains my responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Corporation or the Employer. I further acknowledge that the Corporation and/or the Employer (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Award, including the grant of the RSUs, the vesting of RSUs, the conversion of the RSUs into shares or the receipt of an equivalent cash payment, the subsequent sale of any shares acquired at vesting and the receipt of any dividends or dividend equivalents; and (ii) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Award to reduce or eliminate the my liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if I have become subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction between the Grant Date and the date of any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, I acknowledge that the Corporation and/or the Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.

7

• Prior to the relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, I shall pay or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Corporation and/or the Employer to satisfy or account for all Tax-Related Items. In this regard, I authorize the Corporation or the Employer, or their respective agents, at their discretion, to satisfy the obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the following:

(1) withholding from my wages or other cash compensation paid to me by the Corporation and/or the Employer; or

(2) withholding from proceeds of the sale of shares acquired upon vesting of the Award either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Corporation (on my behalf, pursuant to this authorization); or

(3) withholding in shares to be issued upon vesting of the Award.

• To avoid negative accounting treatment, the Corporation may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable minimum statutory withholding amounts or other applicable withholding rates. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in shares, for tax purposes, I am deemed to have been issued the full number of shares subject to the Award, notwithstanding that a number of shares are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items due as a result of any aspect of my participation in the Plan.

• I shall pay to the Corporation or to the Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Corporation or the Employer may be required to withhold or account for as a result of my participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Corporation may refuse to deliver shares or the proceeds of the sale of shares to me if I fail to comply with my obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.

• I hereby explicitly and unambiguously consent to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of my personal data as described in this Award Agreement by and among, as applicable, my Employer, the Corporation, and its Affiliates for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing my participation in the Plan.

• I understand that the Corporation and my Employer may hold certain personal information about me, including, but not limited to, my name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any shares of Common Stock or directorships held in the Corporation, details of all Awards or any other entitlement to shares awarded, canceled, vested, unvested or outstanding in my favor, for the purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan (“Data”).

• I understand that Data may be transferred to any third parties assisting in the implementation, administration and management of the Plan, that these recipients may be located in my country, or elsewhere, and that my country may have different data privacy laws and protections than my country. I understand that I may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Data by contacting my local human resources representative. I authorize the recipients to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the purposes of implementing, administering and managing my participation in the Plan, including any requisite transfer of such Data as may be required to a broker, escrow agent or other third party with whom the shares received upon vesting of the RSUs may be deposited. I understand that Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage my participation in the Plan.

8

I understand that I may, at any time, view Data, request additional information about the storage and processing of Data, require any necessary amendments to Data or refuse or withdraw the consents herein, in any case without cost, by contacting in writing my local human resources representative. I understand that refusal or withdrawal of consent may affect my ability to participate in the Plan. For more information on the consequences of my refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent, I understand that I may contact my local human resources representative.

• The Plan and the Award are governed by and subject to U.S. law. Interpretation of the Plan and my rights under the Plan will be governed by provisions of U.S. law. For purposes of litigating any dispute that arises under this Award or Award Agreement, the parties submit to and consent to the jurisdiction of the State of Delaware, and agree that such litigation shall be conducted in the federal courts for the United States for the Northern District of Texas and no other courts.

• I understand that I am solely responsible for obtaining/providing whatever exchange control approvals, permits, licenses or notices, which may be necessary for my Award, to acquire the shares or to hold or sell the shares subject to the RSU award. Neither the Corporation nor its Affiliates will be responsible for obtaining such approvals, licenses or permits, or for making any such notices, nor will the Corporation or its Affiliates be liable for any fines or penalties I may incur for failure to obtain any required approvals, permits or licenses or to make any required notices.

• The provisions of this Award Agreement are severable and if one or more of the provisions of this Award Agreement shall be held invalid, illegal or otherwise unenforceable, in whole or in part, the remaining provisions shall nonetheless be binding and enforceable. To the extent that any provisions of this Award Agreement are held to be invalid or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions shall be deemed null and void; however, to the extent permissible by law, any provisions which could be deemed null and void shall first be construed, interpreted or revised retroactively to permit this Award Agreement to be construed so as to foster the intent of this Award Agreement and the Plan.

• If I have received this Award Agreement or any other document related to the Plan translated into a language other than English and if the meaning of the translated version is different than the English version, the English version will control.

• Notwithstanding any provisions in this Award Agreement, the Award shall be subject to any special terms and conditions set forth in Appendix A to this Award Agreement for my country. Moreover, if I relocate to one of the countries included in Appendix A, the special terms and conditions for such country will apply to me, to the extent the Corporation determines that the application of such terms and conditions is necessary or advisable in order to comply with local law or facilitate the administration of the Plan. Appendix A constitutes part of this Award Agreement.

• The Corporation reserves the right to impose other requirements on my participation in the Plan, on the Award and on any shares acquired under the Plan, to the extent the Corporation determines it is necessary or advisable in order to comply with local law or facilitate the administration of the Plan, and to require me to sign any additional agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing.

9

• The Corporation may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to current or future participation in the Plan by electronic means. I hereby consent to receive such documents by on-line delivery and agree to participate in the Plan through an on-line or electronic system established and maintained by the Corporation or a third-party designated by the Corporation.

APPENDIX A

This Appendix A includes additional terms and conditions that govern the Award granted to the Participant under the Plan if the Participant resides in one of the countries listed below. Certain capitalized terms used but not defined in this Appendix A have the meanings set forth in the Plan and/or the Award Agreement.

NETHERLANDS

Consent to Comply with Dutch Securities Law

The Participant has been granted Awards under the Plan, pursuant to which the Participant may acquire shares. Participants who are residents of the Netherlands should be aware of the Dutch insider trading rules, which may impact the sale of such shares. In particular, the Participant may be prohibited from effecting certain share transactions if the Participant has insider information regarding the Corporation.

Below is a discussion of the applicable restrictions. The Participant is advised to read the discussion carefully to determine whether the insider rules apply to the Participant. If it is uncertain whether the insider rules apply, the Corporation recommends that the Participant consult with his or her personal legal advisor. Please note that the Corporation cannot be held liable if the Participant violates the Dutch insider rules. The Participant is responsible for ensuring compliance with these rules.

By entering into the Award Agreement and participating in the Plan, the Participant acknowledges having read and understood the notification below and acknowledges that it is his or her own responsibility to comply with the Dutch insider trading rules, as discussed herein.

Prohibition Against Insider Trading

Dutch securities laws prohibit insider trading. Under Article 46 of the Act on the Supervision of the Securities Trade 1995, anyone who has “inside information” related to the Corporation is prohibited from effectuating a transaction in securities in or from the Netherlands. “Inside information” is knowledge of a detail concerning the issuer to which the securities relate that is not public and which, if published, would reasonably be expected to affect the share price, regardless of the actual effect on the price. The insider could be any employee of the Corporation or its Dutch Affiliate who has inside information as described above.

Given the broad scope of the definition of inside information, certain employees of the Corporation working at its Dutch Affiliate may have inside information and thus, would be prohibited from effectuating a transaction in securities in the Netherlands at a time when he or she had such inside information.

The Corporation is in the process of obtaining such approval.

Because the Exchange Control Regulations change frequently and without notice, the Participant understands that he or she should consult a legal advisor prior to the acquisition or sale of shares under the Plan to ensure compliance with current regulations. The Participant understands that it is his or her responsibility to comply with South African exchange control laws, and neither the Corporation nor the Employer will be liable for any fines or penalties resulting from failure to comply with applicable laws.

Labor Law Acknowledgment

By accepting the Award, the Participant acknowledges that he or she understands and agrees to participation in the Plan and that he or she has received a copy of the Plan.

The Participant understands that the Corporation has unilaterally, gratuitously and discretionally decided to grant Awards under the Plan to individuals who may be employees of the Corporation or its Affiliates throughout the world. The decision is a limited decision that is entered into upon the express assumption and condition that any grant will not economically or otherwise bind the Corporation or any of its Affiliates on an ongoing basis. Consequently, the Participant understands that any grant is given on the assumption and condition that it shall not become a part of any employment contract (either with the Corporation or any of its Affiliates) and shall not be considered a mandatory benefit, salary for any purposes (including severance compensation) or any other right whatsoever. Further, the Participant understands and freely accepts that there is no guarantee that any benefit whatsoever shall arise from any gratuitous and discretionary grant since the future value of the Award and the underlying shares is unknown and unpredictable. In addition, the Participant understands that this grant

would not be made but for the assumptions and conditions referred to above; thus, the Participant understands, acknowledges and freely accepts that should any or all of the assumptions be mistaken or should any of the conditions not be met for any reason, then the Award shall be null and void.

Further, the Participant understands that the Award is a conditional right. Participant shall forfeit any unvested Award upon termination of employment unless such termination is (i) due to a Qualified Termination of Employment, or (ii) if more than six months after the Grant Date, due to death, Total and Permanent Disability, or the shutdown or divestiture of a business unit. The terms of this paragraph apply even if the Participant is considered to be unfairly dismissed without good cause.

Tax Acknowledgment

The following information supplements the information regarding Tax-Related Items in the Acknowledgment of Conditions section of the Award Agreement:

If payment or withholding of the income tax due is not made within 90 days of the event giving rise to the Tax-Related Items or such other period specified in section 222(1)(c) of the U.K. Income Tax (Earnings and Pensions) Act 2003 (the “Due Date”), the amount of any uncollected Tax-Related Items shall constitute a loan owed by the Participant to the Employer, effective on the Due Date. The Participant agrees that the loan will bear interest at the then-current Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs official rate; it will be immediately due and repayable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Participant is an officer or executive director (as within the meaning of Section 13(k) of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), the terms of this provision will not apply to the Participant. In the event that the Participant is an officer or director, as defined above, and Tax-Related Items are not collected from or paid by the Participant by the Due Date, the amount of any uncollected Tax-Related Items may constitute a benefit to the Participant on which additional income tax and National Insurance Contributions may be payable. The Participant acknowledges the Corporation or the Employer may recover it at any time thereafter by any of the means referred to in the Award Agreement. The Participant authorizes the Corporation to withhold the transfer of any shares unless and until the loan is repaid in full.
